Suddenly, there was a neighing of horses, and then four horses came galloping through the gates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The horse was strong, and within a few hooves had rushed to the group of girls who had gathered in front of the rouge stall just now. Seeing that he was about to collide, he saw that the big man in the lead lifted the reins on his arm, and the horse raised his front hooves and stood in place.

At this time, the old man who didn't seem to wake up just now suddenly opened his eyes and sighed with a radiant voice: "Wealth and wealth have no appearance, and fortune and misfortune are empty. Life and death are fateful, and the maze is boundless!"

When the big man who stopped the horse heard the old man's words, he suddenly turned his face to look at it, and when he saw that it was an old man of rotten wood, he ignored it, and immediately whispered to the three people behind him, and prepared to gallop away.

Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly began to say: "Master Tai go slowly!"

When the old man heard the old man speak, he put down the reins that had been lifted in his hand and said, "Is the old man talking about our brothers?"

The old man didn't agree to the big man's inquiry, and said to himself: "If you don't go if the trapdoor is open, you will come to a dead end." Alas, the eight roads are dead, and the old man still wants to show the way for the grandfather, but he can't start! Maybe it's the will of heaven!"

After listening to the old man's words, the few big men in the back were immediately furious, and one of them said with a bare face: "Bad old man, what are you talking nonsense here, believe it or not, I smashed your stall?"

The old man didn't seem to hear the words of the red-faced man, but just shook his head vigorously, and his face was very bitter.

Seeing that the old man disdained to talk to him, the red-faced man was about to turn over and get off and move forward immediately, but was stopped by the soap-clothed man who was the leader.

The soap-clothed man looked at the old man, shook his head, took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it over, and the silver fell impartially in the center of the word measuring stall in front of the old man, where there was a palm-sized porcelain bowl, which did not pop out.

"Please ask the old gentleman to test a word for me!" said the big man.

The old man shook his head and said, "The words of the master are old and unpredictable, but if you look at the face, you can see it!"

"Oh," the big man seemed to be shocked.

"Then please show the old gentleman a show or two?"

The old man looked the big man up and down a few times, and then frowned and said: "The nose is a star of wealth, in charge of the creation of middle-aged, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he must be a smart and handsome person." Yetai is bright and prosperous, wealth comes from the sky, eyebrows are beautiful, and wealth is often there. If the old man did not guess wrong, Yetai must be the dragon and phoenix among the people. ”

After the old man finished speaking, the big man smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, old gentleman Chrysostom!"

After that, he turned over and left.

Unexpectedly, the old man spoke again: "Master Tai go slowly!"

"Is there anything else going on with the old gentleman?" the big man asked in surprise, and the three people behind him also showed a look of impatience on their faces.

"I can't take this silver!" said the old man, his thumb flickering, and the silver that had just fallen in the porcelain bowl suddenly flew straight towards the big man.

As soon as the big man raised his hand slightly, the silver was sandwiched between his fingers, but he was puzzled, so he asked, "Didn't the old gentleman already see the face below, why didn't he accept the money at this time?"

The old man's voice said indifferently: "The dead man's silver is not accepted by the old!"

When those big men heard the old man's words, they didn't feel angry, and even the soap-clothed big man who was the leader suddenly flashed a trace of fierceness in his eyes.

"Old gentleman, be cautious when you speak!" said the soap-clad man.

"It's a pity, although Yetai is rich, he can't escape this death!" the old man seemed to say to himself.

The three people behind the soapy man had already wanted to make a move, and when they saw the old man talking wild nonsense, they were about to move before stepping forward.

The soap-clothed man hurriedly pulled the three of them over: "It's not early, the old man may be waiting, hurry up!"

After the soap-clothed man finished speaking, the other three remembered that there was still something important to do, and immediately glanced at the old man viciously, hurriedly turned over and rode away.

The old man sighed, looked at the four horses, and shook his head.

Suddenly, he looked at a family of three who came from not far away, and secretly said in his heart: Why are they all angry with dead people?

When he was puzzled, his eyes lit up, and a young man happened to walk over. This young man is none other than Nangong Yi, who is reciting poetry at the foot of Funiu Mountain.

"Come here, child!" cried the old man,

"Uncle, are you calling me?" Nangong Yi looked around and wondered.

Chapter 3: Death

The old man nodded and said, "It's you, I have something to say to you when you come over!"

Nangong Yi was suspicious in his heart, but when he saw that the old man looked like a fairy wind and bones, he was not afraid, so he strode over.

As soon as Nangong Yi arrived beside the old man, he saw that the old man grabbed Nangong Yi's wrist, raised the round seal in his hand and hurriedly covered it at Nangong Yi's seal hall.

Even though Nangong Yi had been learning for several months, he couldn't break free from the old man's skinny five fingers.

Nangong Yi jumped, looked at the old man's expression and quickly took two steps back.

The old man's hand was like electricity, and after his right hand was covered with a round seal, his expression eased and said: "Remember, child, you will encounter great trouble tonight, and I have already helped you cover a talisman." When the time comes, remember to flee to the west, and don't turn back. The old decay of heaven is leaked, and it will be difficult to escape, whether you believe it or not, child, tonight will see. ”

"Yi'er, what are you doing?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he saw a woman come over and look at Nangong Yi. looked at the old man who left in a hurry, and was about to ask, but unexpectedly, the old man was castrated very quickly, and he disappeared into the market in a moment, so he had to pull Nangong Yi away.

The woman pulled Nangong Yi to find Nangong Yin, and the three of them walked along the long street market. After walking for about a few miles, I suddenly saw two big stone lions standing outside the gate of a house, and the big red pillar of vermilion lacquer could be seen from a distance, and there were two tiger head knockers hanging on the gate, which was very majestic. On the high forehead of the wide door, I saw a large plaque across the top, and the plaque was written in vigorous block letters "Nangong Yunshan Villa".

At this time, two maids came from the corner gate next to the gate, and when they saw Nangong Yin's family, they happily shouted on the opposite side: "Tell the uncle and aunt quickly, and say that the fourth master is back with the fourth young master." ”

When Nangong Yin saw these maids, he only said that they were from the eldest brother's house, but he didn't understand why he didn't open the main gate but only opened the corner door, so he asked, "Hong'er, why is the door closed today?"

The maid who walked in the front took the burden and gift from Nangong Yin's hand, and walked in with the three of them: "The old man has been in retreat for half a year, and since the day he retreated, the door has been closed, and we don't know what the reason is!"

With that, a few people entered the Nangong Mansion.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, a gray brick road in the middle leads to the hall. The hall doors are four dark red doors, and the middle two doors are slightly open. Entering the weeping flower door, you can see the green glazed door cover on the gable door from a distance, and the gray grinding brick wall is elegant, quiet and bright, and the two sides are weeping lotus pillars.

The rhombic wooden windows in the side porch are open, clean and refreshing. In front of the porch, there are rattan chairs and rattan tables, three feet away from the rattan table, and the flowers and plants are thick. Outside the walls, on the tall trees, there are occasionally a few amazing birdsongs. Although the wall is mottled, its free and simple style can still be seen from the small windows made of bricks on the wall and the surrounding decorations.

The five upper rooms in the front are all carved beams and painted buildings, and the wings of the verandah on both sides are hung with parrots of various colors, thrushes and other birds.

When I walked here, I saw a few maids sitting in the pavilion not far away, and when I saw Nangong Yin arriving with her family, she hurriedly ran into an inner hall and shouted: "Uncle and aunt, the fourth master and the young master are back." ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw a middle-aged couple come out of the inner hall, and the middle-aged man at the head said with a happy face: "Fourth brother, why are you only here now, hurry up and come in to avoid the cold." Qing'er, quickly pour tea for the fourth master and the fourth mother. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Nangong Yin and Nangong Yi into the inner hall.

After entering, Nangong Yin said: "Big brother, why don't you see the second brother and the third brother?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Your second brother and third brother went out a month ago, and today they said that they would rush back together, and it is estimated that it is almost there now." ”

Then the woman who came out with the middle-aged man smiled and asked Nangong Yi and his mother for warmth, and the room was very warm and happy for a while.

"Hey, big brother, why didn't the old man come out?" Nangong Yin suddenly asked.

Nangong Yi's uncle sighed and said, "The old man has been in retreat half a year ago, and he hasn't come out yet. Before the retreat, the old man had said that he needed two ninety-nine for this retreat, that is, nine nines. It's been one hundred and sixty-one days now, and I don't know if I'll be able to get out of the customs tomorrow?"

Nangong was puzzled: "Then does the eldest brother know why the old man is in retreat?"

Nangong Yi's uncle shook his head and said: "The old man didn't elaborate on it before the retreat, but just told us that he wanted to comprehend a Yili Xuanwen, so that we should not disturb him after his retreat, and the back hall was deeply locked. Since then, it has been closed for half a year, and there is nothing unusual. ”

After listening to the eldest brother's words, Nangong Yin nodded slowly, and asked about Uncle Nangong Yi's recent affairs in Nangong Mansion.

It wasn't long before the twilight rose and the sound of jackdaws and dogs barking could be heard outside. The lights in Nangong Mansion were as bright as day, and the stars above the sky that were directly reflected lost their color.

At this moment, suddenly a small servant ran in and shouted, "Uncle, the second and third masters are back!"

When Nangong Yi and his eldest brother heard this, they both went out of the inner hall to welcome them. I saw two big men in brocade clothes walking over from the corridor, one with long hair and a high crown and a beard, eyes like Zhang Fei, and a body like a tiger. The other had black hair scattered and hung evenly in front of his left shoulder, with a fair complexion and bright eyes, and a dragon-shaped jade back.

The four of them were happy when they saw each other, and after asking each other, they entered the hall together.

Before everyone could sit down, they heard the sound of soldiers intersecting outside the gate, and then a manservant hurriedly ran in and said, "Uncle is not good, the master of the Moon Pavilion came in with a group of people, and the birds in the horse cage of our stables and the iris that the lord favored are all dead!"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly went out, and the middle-aged man with a face like Zhang Fei said angrily: "The Lord of the Moon Pavilion dares to make trouble in Nangong Yunshan Villa, isn't he impatient?"

However, Nangong Yin didn't think about this matter, what he was thinking about was how could the iris marten that the old man favored die? You must know that the iris is running as fast as lightning, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it at all, even if it is a martial arts master, at most it is only a chase.

Moreover, the iris is highly poisonous, and it is not an ordinary poison, let alone a human. If you want to kill the iris mink, it is more difficult than dealing with a martial arts master.

Everyone went out of the house to the front yard, only to see a silver-white mink lying on the ground, and the parrots, thrushes, and other birds around them were also lying motionless in the cage.

Nangong Yin stepped forward and was about to reach out and grab the iris mink, but suddenly heard a voice sound urgently.

"Fourth brother, stop, the mink is poisonous!"

This sentence was said by the jade-faced middle-aged man just now.

"Second brother, could this iris be poisoned to death?" Nangong Yin exclaimed.

"Yes! When I came out just now, I already felt that the iris was dead, and if it was just the death of the horses in the stable, and the death of the birds in the cage, I could still think of the past. Because those things couldn't run in the first place, they could only wait for death.

But this iris is different, it is good at fighting poisons, and likes to eat poison juice to enhance the toxins in its body. It's not restrained, and it's so poisonous that anyone who wants to hurt it is the wrong person. Unless it's a peerless master of the first rank, there's no way.

But when I saw the corpse of the iris just now, I suddenly realized that it had been poisoned. What else in this world can poison an iris mink?"

"Of course there is, and that is the Soul Separation Mist, which is known as one of the four great poisons. ”

The person who said this was the voice that came in and out of the front yard. This person's voice was like a ghost, like an iron sawing through wood, and like the sound of sand and stones rubbing against rotten iron, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable listening to it.

This sentence is good, it can be the iris poisoning and death, it can only be the four major poisons in the world. These four poisons are Soul Mist, Forget Worries, Soul Sneer, and Wheel Zhi.

As soon as the voice stopped, I saw a blue-faced old man walking in from outside the weeping flower door, followed by a group of men dressed in green shirts holding foreign objects.

"Moon Pavilion Master, how did you become like this after not seeing you for a few days?" Nangong Yin's eldest brother asked.

It turned out that person was Qiu Xi, the lord of Mochizuki Pavilion. On the rivers and lakes, it is rumored that "one village, two pavilions and three flower workshops, Tsing Yi and red sleeves are thousands of mangs". This village is Nangong Yunshan Villa, the two pavilions are Mochiyue Pavilion and Dianjing Pavilion, and Sanhuafang refers to the Sword Flower Workshop, the Needle Flower Workshop, and the Xuanhua Workshop. Tsing Yi and red sleeves refer to the two major schools of Tsing Yi Gate and Red Sleeve Township respectively. The last thousands of mangs refer to the three strange organizations of Vientiane Valley, Qianqiu Mound and Cunmangdu.

The master of the Moon Pavilion has learned two exercises, one advocating domineering and strength, and the other advocating softness and longevity. On the rivers and lakes, it is called the shallow waterfall, and the slow drink is called the slow drinking lake, and the former is the power of the hegemony of Nangong, and the latter is strange in the way of quiet change.
