416, Spring of Slaves III(2/2)
Lu Shouli had an angry look on his face. Bale and Qiao Na were his family members, not beasts.
The two big dogs were also very angry. They stood at the entrance of the shack and bared their teeth, letting out a low roar.
It's just that when this strange person grabbed them by the neck, they couldn't move. They were a little scared and didn't dare to rush over.
The Taoist priest ignored the three people and the two dogs. He took out a small half-sized butter candle from his arms and carefully inserted it into the gap between the two wolf skins on the ground. Then he snapped his fingers and with a snap, the candle was lit.
Already.
The two adults and the two dogs were immediately stunned.
This Taoist priest does have some righteousness.
Xiaocui quickly carried the child over and kowtowed to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest's face flickered in and out of focus under the candlelight. He was very thin and had deep-set eye sockets, but his eyes were radiant.
"I offended the Taoist priest, please forgive me."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Taking shelter from the rain today can be regarded as a fate with your family. I don't disturb you in vain. I will cut off a one-inch piece of the heart of the tree struck by lightning and make a sign for it. Give it to your child to ensure that she will be free from all evil.
If you retreat, your life will be peaceful.”
Not all trees are suitable for lightning strikes, jujube trees are the first, followed by peach trees. And the first-class lightning strike wood must be a tree between heaven and earth.
For example, there is a tree growing on the top of a mountain. It connects heaven and earth, so it has aura.
A lone tree on the grassland also has this effect.
Xiaocui suddenly became happy and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Thank you, Taoist priest"
Lu Shouli also hurriedly kowtowed.
He saw that this Taoist priest was unusual, at least this was his intention.
The Taoist priest took out a small knife and cut off a half-centimeter-thick piece horizontally from the heart of the tree. Then the knife flew up and down, a burst of sawdust flew, and a wooden sign one inch long and half an inch wide gradually took shape.
The Taoist priest saw that the size was suitable and nodded with satisfaction.
The Taoist priest picked up the knife and used the tip of the knife to make flowing carvings. Complex runes appeared on the front of the sign. The red heart of the tree suddenly turned into a magical weapon.
The Taoist priest turned over the wooden sign and asked, "What is your child's surname and name?"
Xiaocui was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"My surname is Lu. The child is still young and does not have a name. Since we are destined to meet each other, I would like to ask the Taoist priest to give me a name."
Xiaocui heard him say that the child's surname was Lu, and a burst of ecstasy surged from her heart. Happiness came so suddenly. She lowered her head shyly and rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands.
"It's easy to tell when she was born."
"This time last year, I just turned one year old yesterday and was born at noon." Xiaocui said.
The Taoist priest closed his eyes and kept counting with his fingers. Suddenly he made a sound. Then he counted again. He opened his eyes in disbelief.
"This is so strange. This child is punished by six relatives, his parents are suppressed, and he is destined to be fatherless soon after he is born. How can you live a good life?"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were shocked.
Only then did we know that this crazy Taoist was really capable.
Less than a month after the child was born, Maozi slaughtered the camp with blood, and only mother and daughter escaped.
"Is there a red birthmark wrapped around this child?"
"How did the Taoist Master know?" Xiao Cui opened her mouth in surprise.
"Huh, why is this so difficult? I figured it out, she came down covered with colorful clouds."
Before he finished speaking, a huge thunder rolled over his head, causing Lu Shouli to lie on the ground. Two big dogs also squeezed in, whimpering.
The Taoist priest's face changed several times and he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
It was quiet in the shack, except for the patter of raindrops hitting the bearskin.
"Oh, forget it, thanks to your kindness in taking me in during the heavy rain today, I will give my daughter a name."
Lu Shouli and Xiaocui were overjoyed. There were scholars on the grassland who could read and write. It was a blessing to meet this Taoist priest who practiced Taoism today.
"If you are born at noon, let's call him Lu Yiyang"
Lu Shouli quickly pulled Xiaocui to kowtow to the Taoist priest, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for giving me the name."
The tip of the knife in the Taoist priest's hand scratched the back of the sign, and a name appeared on the back of the wooden sign.
