NOVEL NEXT Chapter 97 Red Mouth Disaster Nest
The Jiang Mansion treated Zhou Yuan very well, and all the main and branch branches in Beijing sent representatives.
As the only outsider present, Zhou Yuan not only became the center of the banquet, but was also invited to move in.
Zhou Yuan refused the kindness of the Jiang Mansion on the pretext that the management of the Yulin Camp was strict and it was inconvenient for him, a newcomer, to come and go.
Even so, he was still forced to stay for one night by Jiang's father, saying that if they didn't live in the capital, they would feel bad.
After breakfast the next morning, the Jiang Mansion prepared two carriages for Zhou Yuan, one for riding and one for carrying gifts.
Because it was very impolite to check the gifts in front of the host, Zhou Yuan refused again and again, and finally accepted the kindness of the Jiang Mansion.
"Don't worry, nephew. Let my Erlang and Sanlang prepare the banquet for you on the 13th day of the first lunar month.
With me watching, they will definitely make it grand and beautiful for you."
"Uncle, don't bother so much. I'll find a restaurant to prepare it. Why do you need your two brothers to run around?"
"Don't be so polite to my family. How much money can you bring to the capital? Your salary from the court has not been paid yet.
Since that's the case, let my family handle it. Otherwise, you will have to borrow money from everywhere to prepare for the celebration banquet. Wouldn't it make outsiders laugh at you in secret?"
"Uncle has thought it through. I'll trouble you and your two brothers."
Lü Canjun of the Yaowu Camp in the capital was right. The true feelings can only be seen after the spiritual test.
Zhou Yuan not only returned with a lot of gains from visiting the Jiang Mansion, but the only trouble was also contracted by Jiang Ren's two younger brothers.
With the help of the people in the Jiang Mansion who are familiar with the capital, his celebration banquet will definitely be more exquisite.
When Zhou Yuan returned to the Generals' Hall, he knew what gifts Jiang's family had given him.
Among them was a red gold envelope of 100 taels, with a note on it, which was a New Year's gift for the younger generation; two sets of four-season military robes, two pairs of cowhide boots, with a red paper note saying "The family robes are comfortable, and they can help with military affairs".
A small box of books was given, covering basic arithmetic, military leadership experience, battle records and other military knowledge.
In addition, two brocade quilts were given, which were not expensive, but they were also the basic configuration for the younger generation to live outside the house.
In addition, there were really good things placed in the book box, which were placed separately in a sandalwood box.
[Shelei Exorcism Method]
[The five thunders of the righteous law are heaven, earth, water, gods, and communities. Heavenly thunder calms the sun and the moon, earthly thunder controls yin and yang, water thunder relieves drought and flood, divine thunder acts on behalf of heaven, and community thunder protects one side.
Community thunder, also known as community thunder, is formed by the spirits of loyal and patriotic people and filial and brave people.
It can catch mirage dragons, attract wind and rain, and is good at destruction. Its nature is uncertain. If the sacrifice is successful, it will protect one side. If the sacrifice is improper, it will cause wind, rain and thunder disasters. 】
Shelei Exorcism is a very obscure high-level skill. The Jiang Mansion did not send the original, but a handwritten copy.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan cannot see the effect of use for the time being, nor can he quickly upgrade through the attribute panel.
But this is already very good. The original martial arts are both physical and spiritual, and belong to a more precious inheritance.
The original of a high-level skill like "Shelei Exorcism" must have limited output. Zhou Yuan is very satisfied to get a handwritten copy.
"The martial arts used by Lieutenant Jing'an are also thunder attributes, most likely this Shelei Exorcism.
I just don't know whether it is his intention or his father's intention to give the core martial arts.
In any case, this favor is owed. When I get a high-level martial arts with a clean origin, I have to find a reason to return it."
After Zhou Yuan became the leader of the Xinyuan list, his reputation also grew.
When the guards in the guild hall saw him coming back, they immediately helped to carry the gifts, and asked Zhou Yuan for a few Wu Kui coins, saying that they would be used to press the child's bed.
Zhou Yuan was free only after they dispersed.
So he used the experience points he had accumulated before to upgrade the "Bone-Incorruptible Method" to the maximum level, and activated the special skill of "Dispersing Qi into Rings".
In this way, he obtained 1 point of spirit attribute of the 5th level amplification of the "Bone-Incorruptible Method", 2 points of spirit attribute of the 10th level amplification, and the passive skill "Golden Muscle and Jade Bone".
The three basic attributes of spirit, energy and spirit also became: spirit: 7, energy: 4, spirit: 3.
When he was done with his work and was ready to quietly read the "Shelei Exorcist Method" and change his job to Thunder Fire Shooter as soon as possible, his colleagues who heard the news pulled him to Tie Chikou again.
Tie Chikou is a traditional festival on the third day of the first lunar month in the Wei Dynasty, which means to keep silent and worship heaven and earth with white wine and tea.
The so-called "red mouth" refers to a red paper strip that is seven or eight inches long and one inch wide, with some auspicious words written on it, and is posted on the top of the front door and the back door.
The purpose is to nail off the red mouth thieves and thieves of men and women in all directions, and all disasters will be gone to heaven, and good luck.
This festival is just for good luck among the people, but it has a special meaning for the new Yuan councilors.
The winners pray for a smooth career in the future and not to be harmed by villains and rumors.
The losers pray for the old people in the countryside to keep their virtues, and not to hold the handle of the losers and poke their spines.
Such an interesting festival can also comfort the losers, and Zhou Yuan, the top of the list, naturally has the responsibility.
So he just followed the intention of his colleagues, and everyone cut red paper together to post a red curtain on the front and back doors of the Generals' Guild Hall.
The scene looked like red tassels from a distance, adding a fiery and festive atmosphere to the solemn official residence.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan discovered that a black and red vortex suddenly appeared on the red tassel.
[Instance: Red Mouth Disaster Nest]
[Recommended challenge level 10~60, recommended challenge number 1~1000]
[Trigger conditions: white wine, tea, red mouth, fire candle, escape condition: kill any level of four red mouths]
Seeing this introduction, Zhou Yuan was silent.
He could not imagine who was the smart one who discovered the way to enter the secret realm of Chikou and passed it down in the name of festival customs.
Perhaps the distant relatives and neighbors saw that their lives were getting better and better after they posted the Chikou, so they followed suit, and it gradually became a local custom.
"The court probably knew the internal reasons, and did not disclose it to the outside world because they were afraid that the people would enter and gamble, resulting in heavy casualties and the breeding of several uncontrollable powerful demons."
Although the Chikou Disaster Nest and the Moon Palace Dungeon are similar to festival activities, there are no restrictions on not being able to borrow the road or re-enter.
This means that as long as someone dies in the dungeon and a quota is vacated, people outside can fill it at any time.
"The festival activities have rich rewards, so we should give it a try."
After Zhou Yuan made up his mind, he first sent away a group of playful colleagues and prepared the trigger materials.
Then he sent away the guards at the back door, put on the "skin of the god of the market" and transformed into a kind old man, and entered the Chikou dungeon.
The next moment, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and the back door of the quiet mansion turned into a red barren mountain.
A group of strange-looking monsters that looked like humans but not humans came into his sight.
They had no clothes on their bodies, and were covered with white bones. They walked upright, had hands and feet, and had incomplete facial features, only a big mouth with fangs and two long and thin ears.
High-temperature sparks appeared and disappeared in their mouths, like a group of ferocious red-mouthed demons that were eating people.
