Chapter 8 Yu Jiwu
"Heaven is born of water, the earth is born of fire, the sky is born of wood, the earth is born of gold, the sky is born of earth, the five shapes are all in five, there is a river map in ancient times that once marked the number of yang for the peony, the number of yin for the concubine, people only know the water to overcome the fire, but do not know that the water is the oyster of fire, the fire is the concubine of the water, if the fire is full of water decay, the fire can still bully the water. The Medicine King liked Long Yi's always cool personality very much, and said with a smile, "You can extinguish a small fire of firewood with a basin of water, but if the whole house is burning, the water splashed on it will not only not extinguish the fire, but will also be evaporated by the fire and disappear." The demon at the bottom of the well must be water-based, and it can be subdued by fire, and knowing the cause is what we need to do. If the soil is covered with water, although the water can be extinguished, the monsters will also be sealed, and the truth will still not be found. ”
Long Yi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and although he didn't fully understand, he still couldn't stop nodding.
Wu Ma's heart suddenly became full of confidence: "Thank you for the teachings of my predecessors, I will go to my senior brother, he is the person who is said to be prosperous." ”
"Be careful. The Medicine King still advised, "This is a dangerous move, if the fire is not strong enough, it will be easily swallowed by water." ”
"Senior, rest assured, my senior brother is a stable person and will not be reckless. Wu Ma Xin said, stood up and bowed, "Without further ado, we won't bother much, and we'll come back another day to thank you." ”
The medicine king gave some elixirs for the treatment of internal and external injuries, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, you can rest assured that girl is here with me, and you can make sure that she is well." ”
Walking to the door of the medicine house, Long Yiyi finally couldn't help but say, "Senior, you won't be refining Chinese medicine anymore recently." ”
The Medicine King and the Medicine King Sun glanced at each other, and then laughed: "Haha, don't worry, the old man promised you not to practice for the time being." ”
"Thank you for the Medicine King's senior. Long Yiyi exaggerated a blessing, and happily pulled the helpless Wu Ma Xin and rushed towards Qiaodong Village.
......
Zhenzhou, Nu Wangfu.
The whole land of Duanguo is in the shape of a wolf's tooth, with a total of nine states: Linzhou, Bingzhou, Douzhou, Zhezhou, Jiezhou, Jinzhou, Lizhou, Qianzhou, and Xingzhou, as a subsidiary of Chixian Shenzhou, here from the beginning it was designed in accordance with the Taoist Liujia secret blessing, even Duanwang did not know the reason.
The state was guarded by King Nu, and there were four towns, Shuhe Town, Zongjiu Town, Hengqi Town, and Pinkui Town. The palace is located in Yuehe Village, Pinwell Town, known as the "Beast's Den", and is 330 cows roaring from Qiaodong Village, Shuhe Town.
The bull roar is the unit of distance measurement in Duanguo, which refers to the farthest distance that an adult strong bull can reach by the sound of a roar.
In the palace of King Nu, Pei Jiutian was drinking with King Nu. Pei Jiutian has been able to crisscross the state for more than ten years, and his good relationship with King Nu is inseparable. Pei Jiutian was also born as a military general, and it is said that he also worshiped the deputy general, and later curled up his hair, cut off his beard, abandoned his armor and engaged in business, and his lean and strong body became richer and richer, and he became a pot-bellied poop. The only thing that hasn't changed is his eyes, which are small and the whites of the eyes on three sides can be seen from the front.
While everyone was drinking, a small beetle flew in, its wings flashing blood-red. Chang An stretched out his hand to catch the beetle and gently put it into the wine glass, and the beetle instantly melted into a drop of blood.
"Master," Chang An didn't dare to delay, his lips opened lightly, and the sound reached Pei Jiutian's ears, "I received a report from the blood beetle, I'm afraid that the third young master is injured, and we need to rush back to deal with it as soon as possible." ”
Pei Jiutian's brows tightened, and he quickly stretched out, and asked the King of Anger to clench his fists and resign.
King Nu looked at the red in Chang'an's wine glass and said to himself, "Why does this person have such a familiar aura. ”
......
Pei's mansion was in a mess, and a simple shed was set up on the west side, with Pei Qing's body on the ground. Pei Jiutian walked into the conference hall quickly, and Ji Kun and the two guards knelt on the ground, their legs trembling.
The housekeeper Pei Zhonghai explained the matter in detail, Pei Jiutian did not pay attention to Ji Kun, but turned to the two guards and asked, "What's the matter with that thief? ”
"Yes, sir. An older guard said, "Just as the third young master was discussing with them, a tall and thin figure holding a tiger skin appeared in front of the door of the old man's bedroom, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he heard my head 'clatter', his head 'clicked', and the two of us didn't know anything." When we woke up, we hurried into the house to check, and the things were all neatly placed and had not been turned over, until we smelled a strange smell of urine, and found that he had stolen the master's night pot and poured urine on the bed. ”
Everyone tried to hold back their laughter, this person who came from the countryside to guard the door for the lord was a distant relative of the eldest lady, and his head was indeed not very bright.
Pei Jiutian's face sank, but it was not easy to have a seizure, after all, it was an old Jianghu, although he was made to cry and laugh, he still noticed a detail: "You mean, the thief came in with a tiger skin, not a tiger skin stolen from the house?"
"Yes, sir, this villain can see clearly, just before my head 'bangs', I still laughed at him for pulling the banner with a tiger skin. ”
"Got it, go down. Pei Jiutian was too helpless to the two "absolutely loyal people" recommended by the eldest wife.
Pei Jiutian was suspicious, he did have a treasure wrapped in tiger skin, but only he and Pei Feng, Pei Qing, and Pei Zhonghai knew about it, and outsiders had no way of knowing, why did he know that there was such a thing, and even took a tiger skin from the outside, pretending to steal this thing to force Pei Qing to transfer Ji Kun? Could their target be the tiger skin brocade box? The most important thing is, who is the traitor in the house?
Yu Jiwu said: "Master, it seems that there are at least three of them, Lou Yiming pretended to steal, Cheng Jingzhi challenged with a gun, and Wu Ma's heart flew to the needle. ”
Pei Jiutian asked in a deep voice: "Master Yu, is there any way to get rid of the old thief and avenge my Qing'er?"
Yu Jiwu pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever remembered the ballads in the mouths of the children in the streets and alleys twenty years ago, when the eighteen kings of Duanguo were working together?"
Pei Jiutian and Chang An secretly frowned, not knowing what medicine was sold in the master's gourd.
That ballad is well known in Duanguo. The ghost king's poisonous iron king's spear, the blood king's silver needle has nowhere to hide; the drum king's deaf wind king's blindness, the mourning king's laughter is full of wounds; the insect barbarian king's strength that kills the king, the angry king's iron hook pierces the belly; the rain king's madness, the thunder king's madness, the array king is trapped and you don't negotiate; the mountain king's axe and the horse's reins, the banner king shakes the mountain beam with a move; the cold king's cold and lightning king's strength, and no one can resist the king of war.
"The Ghost King's Poison Iron King's spear, the Blood King's silver needle has nowhere to hide. Yu Jiwu said, hugged his fist to Pei Jiutian and said: "Master, you have hands and eyes to the sky, so you naturally know what is the most taboo for King Duan?"
Pei Jiutian suddenly realized, gasped and said, "You mean, the blood king who rebelled back then?"
Yu Jiwu said unhurriedly: "The Blood King is the seventh son of King Duan, and the only king who went out to study art and entered the Fighting Beast Mountain, with an extraordinary identity and experience, Master Buzhen is the senior brother of the Blood King." When the Blood King rebelled, the son of the Iron King, Wei Mingmu, was his lieutenant, and King Duan ordered to be killed, but he was chased to Qiaodong Village but lost his trace, and in the past 20 years, no one has been alive or dead. Twenty years later, it is still this Qiaodong Village, there is a person who uses a gun like the Iron King, and a person who makes a silver needle like the Blood King, isn't this enough?"
Everyone's eyes were bright, murderous as light.
"Let's disperse. Pei Jiutian waved his hand tiredly and strode out of the conference hall first.
Today's discussion was obviously longer than in the past, and Yu Jiwu's pale face became more and more wrinkled, as if he was a teenager old, and hurriedly walked towards his residence after leaving the conference hall.
"Master," Yu Jiwu stopped, it was Chang An, "Master is not feeling well, why is it like dehydration every afternoon, and it is like two people in the morning?"
"I am indeed too weak to sit and stand for a long time. Yu Jiwu replied.
"The Pei Mansion still needs to rely on the master, so you have to take care. Chang An changed his words, stared at Yu Jiwu and asked, "Chang heard that the master is like a fish and has to sleep in the bathtub every night?"
Yu Jiwu was shocked, and barely squeezed out a smile on his slightly pale face and said: "The prescription for skin care is not worth mentioning, it is not worth mentioning." There's something else to do next, so we'll talk about it another day. With that, he clasped his hands into fists and gave a salute, and walked away quickly.
Back in the bedroom, Yu Jiwu retreated left and right, turned the bronze figure on the bookcase, and the bed was separated to both sides, and a wooden box filled with water slowly rose in the middle. Yu Jiwu didn't take off his clothes, he jumped in directly, his body was immersed, countless small bubbles rose in the water, the folds on his face gradually disappeared, his skin returned to fullness and firmness, and the whole person regained its brilliance.
Yu Jiwu let out a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "When I took a bath, there were water curtains all around, how did Chang An know?"
At this time, a charming voice came from the corner: "Master is so strategic." ”
Yu Jiwu still closed his eyes and recuperated: "Why are you here!"
"Can't I miss you," said a charming woman poking her head out of the wooden box, "seeing that you are preoccupied, someone must have discovered that your surname is not Yu of the January Knife, but a fish playing in the water." ”
"Hmph, forgive him for not finding anything!" Yu Jiwu sneered, "On the contrary, it is you who let Pei Qing be contaminated with the aura of the water tribe all over his body, I am afraid that he will attract revenge, so if not, go back to the sea first." ”
"Yo, I finally know that I feel sorry for others. The woman smiled charmingly, "I haven't seen enough of the show, and if I die one day, you must take me back to the bottom of the sea, I don't want to be buried in the dirt." ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yu Jiwu said angrily.
The woman slowly took off her coat and stepped into the water, opened her mouth and sucked it, and a thin column of water surged out of the box into her mouth, and sprayed at Yu Jiwu mischievously, her voice was full of teasing: "You are so insidious, you actually directly buckled the basin to the old guy who didn't stick it." ”
"If you don't involve them all, how can you accomplish the domain master's plan. Yu Jiwu said, and took the woman into his arms.
The woman pushed him away and said with a little jealousy: "The beauties around the master are like clouds, if I hadn't sent them to the door, how could I still remember me as a vulgar fan." ”
"How can those earth dogs be compared to you, the top brand of the Yishui Pavilion!" Yu Jiwu said, picking up the woman and diving into the water.
There was a crisp sound outside the water mantle, and a green beetle shattered to the ground.
