543: What a living person should have, a straw man has.
When Xuanyuan Che heard this, he was extremely excited.
But Nan Li then said: "But the time limit will not be too long. Even if I add my talisman and seal, it will only hold up to the sky for two months."
Xuanyuan Che shook his head and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But Xuanyuan Lan had already floated out of the spirit bag. She bowed and knelt down towards Nan Li, grateful: "Thank you so much, Lord. Being able to reunite with my brother for two months is already a great gift."
Seeing his sister like this and Ye Siheng's cold and threatening eyes, Xuanyuan Che didn't dare to expect anything else.
He also prostrated on the ground, his voice trembling slightly: "Thank you, Lord."
In the future, he will do his best to serve the Lord!
Nan Li immediately went to the study on the left and began to tie up the adult form with straw. Because this was the body Xuanyuan Lan wanted to use, she made it into a female form.
Although Ye Siheng couldn't help much, he liked to see her serious and busy.
He asked: "Why don't you use wood or lotus roots to make your body?"
"Although wood and lotus root are resistant to damage, they are not very flexible," Nan Li said.
Her hands were flexible, and in just a moment, she made a straw man, whose limbs looked slender and graceful.
After letting Ye Siheng and Xuanyuan Che go out and wait, she formed a seal and stuffed Xuanyuan Lan's soul into the straw man, and then used the star pen to draw a talisman. When she recited the incantation, the straw man's body was filled with thousands of rays of light.
Condensed, and slowly bloomed.
Nan Li threw the straw man to the side, and the light gathered again. The straw man grew from small to large, and was the same size as an ordinary person.
When the light faded, a woman suddenly appeared.
It is Xuanyuan Lan.
She is not as pale as a ghost, but looks good and looks like an ordinary person.
But she was still a little unaccustomed to using this straw man's body, so she staggered a bit.
But she could feel a chill.
Because the straw man has no clothes, she is also completely naked.
Nan Li looked up and down and said, "What do you think? This body is slim. If you like a plumper one, I can make another one for you."
Xuanyuan Lan was frightened and said, "Master, I am very grateful to have a body to use."
She really didn't dare to have too many demands.
Moreover, the body is slender and white, so it is very suitable for use.
Probably the leader of the country tied up a lot of straw men and practiced, so he did it so well.
Unexpectedly, Nan Li touched his chin and said, "I didn't do well the second time. There should be nothing wrong with the third time."
Xuanyuan Lan: "..."
He is indeed the lord of the country, no wonder he can make the demon bees bow their heads.
Nan Li then took the clothes he had prepared earlier in the morning and asked her to put them on.
Xuanyuan Lan was a little clumsy at first. After all, her new body was difficult to control. When Nan Li saw this, she helped her and dressed her carefully.
"The Lord of the Kingdom..." The small details moved Xuanyuan Lan so much that she burst into tears. "The Lord of the Kingdom is kind and considerate. His life will be peaceful and joyful, and he will be full of children."
"You have such a sweet mouth. I appreciate your words." Nan Li then looked at her tears and said, "The talisman I drew this time is really good. What a living person should have, a straw man has."
Xuanyuan Lan didn't take these words to heart yet.
She thought about her brother and thanked Nan Li again and again before opening the door and walking out.
Xuanyuan Che kept staring at the wooden door outside, waiting anxiously.
Suddenly he saw a slim woman with a rosy complexion opening the door, and he was stunned.
Is this Alan?
This is his sister?!
"elder brother……"
Xuanyuan Lan ran straight over. Because she was walking in a hurry and was not used to the body of this straw man, she stumbled and fell forward.
Xuanyuan Che quickly stepped forward and subconsciously helped her.
Hold on!
He was so surprised that he looked at her in surprise, "Sister, did you see, I can catch you!"
Xuanyuan Lan slowly got used to this light body, and when she saw that the two of them were in contact, she burst into tears: "Brother..."
Even the tears are warm.
It's like he is a living person and has never died.
The brother and sister hugged each other and cried for a while before expressing their gratitude to Nan Li again.
Nan Li mentioned the precautions: "Although this straw man's body is used almost like a living person, you can't see the sun directly. It's best to stay indoors during the day. Even if you have to go out, you should hold an umbrella. Water doesn't matter.
, but people are afraid of fire and need to be more careful."
The two of them wrote it down.
When we left, it was still snowing heavily.
Xuanyuan Che naturally held an umbrella and took his sister back to his small house.
There is no snow all year round in Xinjiang. This is the first time Xuanyuan Lan has seen white snow in her life.
She stretched out her hand to catch it, and the snowflakes slowly melted in her palm.
"Brother, look..." She was as excited as when she was a child, sharing interesting things with Xuanyuan Che.
Xuanyuan Che looked at it, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, and then he touched her hand and found that it was warm.
"Brother?" Xuanyuan Lan didn't understand his reaction.
"The king is really powerful." Xuanyuan Che murmured.
"Of course the king is powerful. She is the one who can command the demon bees. She is the true dragon of the country!" Xuanyuan Lan said.
Xuanyuan Che shook his head gently:
"Not only that, I have consulted the Taoist priests of Xuan Zhengsi. They can also use straw people to make bodies for ghosts. However, the straw people they make can only give ghosts a body to live in, which is still different from living people.
Yes, maybe the king’s straw man is very delicate?”
Xuanyuan Lan remembered what Nan Li had said at the beginning and blinked, "No, it is one thing that the straw man is good at it, but the Lord of the Kingdom said that it is because of the talisman that he can shed tears and have tactile perception."
Xuanyuan Che's expression changed slightly. He had also read relevant books and knew that this talisman only stuffed the soul into the straw man, and would not make the straw man become the same as a living person.
In other words, this talisman was newly created by the king!
He sighed: "The king's talisman skills are indeed second to none!"
He was grateful in his heart, turned around and knelt down again, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Liuli Pavilion.
It may seem like a trivial matter, but it is enough to make Xuanyuan Che remember it for a lifetime.
——
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it still snowed heavily.
Because Chu Shuo and Mingying had spent money on charity before and made a lot of winter clothes and distributed them, the people in the capital could still afford it, but it was different in other prefectures and counties.
It snowed continuously, and some people had no food or clothing. Their thatched huts were crushed and they froze to death in the middle of the night.
The road was blocked due to heavy snow, so the news could not be delivered to Beijing in time. Xuanyuan Che had seen something was wrong and dispatched Snow Eagle early.
This snow eagle was not afraid of wind and snow and flew thousands of miles. When the news reached the Overwatch Council, he immediately reported it to Emperor Mu Wu and Yesi Heng.
Yesi Heng read the memorial statistics and found that there were 25 states in total in the Mu Kingdom, but 21 states had snow disasters. Cotton clothes and food were in short supply, and many people had died of freezing and starvation.
None of the ministers in the cabinet looked very good-looking.
