Chapter 1: Wu Tao

Next Chapter

"Wu Tao is here, Wu Tao is here......"

Far away, the people in the township gave way to open the way, and the chief and a few elders greeted him, saluted Wu Tao, and said, "The big witch is here, please come in!"

The so-called witch Tao is a young man in his early twenties, dressed in black, with bast shoes under his feet and a wooden staff in his hand.

His face was expressionless, and under the polite greeting of the chief and others, and the awe and estrangement of the people in Lizhong, he walked all the way into this green bamboo.

The so-called li is Lu li.

Fenced with a wall, a place where 100 families live together!

But the customs of this world are simple, whether it is a beast or a danger, there are many things.

Regardless of whether it is urban or rural, the people live together, build walls and defend against dangers.

This green bamboo is famous for making bamboo, and almost every family has exquisite craftsmanship in making bamboo, and the conditions are not bad.

Not only is the inner wall neatly repaired, but the inner wall with a height of more than seven feet made of loess rammed is also covered with tiles on the wall to prevent rain.

The road in the middle of the house is even more neat, and every household has a half-person-high courtyard, and you can see that there are bamboo piles in the courtyard, or half-finished bamboo baskets, bamboo tubes, baskets and other things.

All the way up to the family he was led to!

Tao Xiaowu's eyes flashed, and he secretly said in his heart: "This time this family should be quite rich, this time the fee can be higher!"

Thinking so, he has been welcomed into a house.

The women and children of the family were also greeted out, wearing sackcloth filial piety clothes, apparently someone in the family had passed away.

And Tao Xiaowu is here for this!

To put it bluntly, what Tao Xiaowu wants to do now is to transcend the dead, but in the world before he traveled, it was done by monks and Taoists.

And in the world he is now traversing, it is a wizard like him who does it!

Of course, Tao Xiaowu is a fake wizard.

He is clothed in the flesh, but this world is full of households, and the household registration management is very strict.

Tao Xiaowu had no identity and was expelled by officials. He was beaten by the villagers and wandered around.

In the end, relying on some of what he had seen and heard before crossing over, and some understanding of this world, he began to pretend to be a wizard and deceive.

In short, no matter what, now that Tao Xiaowu has an identity, he will not continue to wander and starve outside.

He recalled this, but his face did not show any light, and he looked indifferent and expressionless.

He knew that the villagers ate this the most.

If he behaves lively and cheerful, people will wonder if he is a wizard and whether he has real skills!

The corpse was placed on the door panel in the courtyard, and it had been changed into a new outfit.

Although it is still Mai, but the willingness to change the dead into new clothes shows that the family is quite generous and rich!

Focused, rich, generous......

In a world of very low productivity, silk cannot be worn without cotton.

At most, ordinary people are wearing sackcloth!

And even if it is a set of ragged linen clothes, it is three years new, three years old, and another three years for sewing and mending.

You think that's all there is to it?

In the end, it is necessary to change it to a smaller size and wear it for children.

It's really broken, and it can be made into socks, diapers, and even rags.

In short, those who are willing to change a new set of linen clothes for the dead are indeed in good condition at home!

Thinking like this, Tao Xiaowu was already thinking about how much it would cost to find this house!

Although he had such a philistine idea in his heart, Tao Xiaowu asked in his mouth: "Is Shoucai ready?"

"It's already preparing, Carpenter Zhang's house is rushing to work!" the family replied respectfully.

Tao Xiaowu sighed in his heart, there is no professional coffin shop in such an era. It's all done by some carpenters!

Otherwise, if it is like later generations, Mr. Yin and Yang like him and the coffin shop, the incense shop should cooperate closely with the upstream and downstream.

Although there are regrets in my heart, I don't show it.

When he saw it, he sent a money bag, which was full of copper coins, and handed it to Tao Xiaowu and said with a smile: "This time, I invited Da Wu to come, I came to ask Da Wu to help write the deed!"

Tao Xiaowu weighed the money bag, estimated that there should be hundreds of dollars in it, and a smile appeared on his face: "Prepare pen, ink, water and other things!"

He charges cheaply, more than half as much as those indigenous wizards.

Many ordinary poor families like to come to him to do things.

After all, this kind of godly chatter is often just a comfort in the hearts of the living, and no one knows whether it is useful or not.

But the green copper coins that were spent were clearly visible!

For example, this time, if you invite other wizards, it will cost at least three hundred dollars, and even as high as five hundred dollars.

Tao Xiaowu only charged more than 100 yuan, which can be said to be really cheap.

And Tao Xiaowu works very hard, and he looks better than everyone else when he dances the gods, which usually makes the host very satisfied.

As for whether Tao Xiaowu's things are useful...... It's still the same sentence just now.

Funerals are for the living, and whether they are useful to the dead or not. No one can tell!

There was a shout, he was a mile long, equivalent to the figure of the village chief in later generations.

The weddings and funerals of the people in Lizhong are all organized and managed by the mayor, and they have long been very experienced in these things.

All kinds of things needed were prepared for Tao Xiaowu, and Tao Xiaowu cleaned his face and hands with water, and then took out wooden boards, pens, ink, and other things.

Tao Xiaowu began to jump and pretended to jump.

At first glance, it seemed to look like he was having cramps, or a sheep seizure.

But as Tao Xiaowu jumped for a while, the wind actually rose in the surrounding yard, and the whirring whirlwind blew around.

The whole courtyard and inside seemed to have become cold all of a sudden.

Outside the courtyard wall, the people who watched the excitement also seemed to feel the strange wind, shut up one after another, and even dragged the children home directly.

Even Tao Xiaowu himself is a little creepy!

As for whether these things are useful or not?

Even he, Tao Xiaowu, couldn't say it clearly.

Anyway, Tao Xiaowu took the brush and began to write on the wooden board.

This so-called wizard and the later Mr. Feng Shui and Mr. Yin and Yang are peers, but in fact, they do quite different things!

What the peers did in the previous life, the most important thing is to transcend, so that the dead do not stay in the world, go to the underworld as soon as possible to reincarnate, and reincarnate in a wealthy family in the next life.

And according to Tao Xiaowu's discovery in this world, there doesn't seem to be the concept of reincarnation.

Therefore, the most important thing they did was to write a deed.

The so-called deed is just a general term and contains two things, one is the land notice and the other is the land purchase certificate.

This kind of thing is equivalent to a customs clearance document in the yang world, or a letter of introduction.

It is written for the underworld to see, and it is written with the name of the deceased, the place of origin, the date of death, the cause of death, and so on. At most, I have to add a few words about good people, and I never act as a traitor or anything like that.

It's like mentioning in a letter of introduction that the person being introduced is of good character!
