Zhuge Feng had already taken them to the 'Tianyi Hall' of Bagua Village, which was the residence of the 'Bagua Gate', but it sounded like a pharmacy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yu Shao helped Shen Bing down from the carriage, Shen Bing hid in the car for a long time, and he didn't see Yu Shao by his side, he was already a little wilted. Holding Yu Shao's hand tightly, he didn't want him to leave half a step. Seeing Shen Bing sticking to Yu Shao like this, everyone laughed a little in their hearts, and looked at him with their eyes. Shen Bing didn't say anything, although he grabbed Yu Shao with his hand, his demeanor was quite arrogant, and he followed Yu Shao into the lobby with his head held high.

There was a hearty laugh from behind the screen, "The head of Dugu has arrived, the old man has lost his welcome, and he still looks at Haihan." "The voice arrives before the person arrives.

Yu Shao saw an old man come out from behind the screen, with white hair and white beard, dressed in a green robe, and his Dao Feng fairy bones were like immortals.

"Mr. Zhuge is a senior in martial arts, how dare you welcome him, the old man is still so light and healthy, and his internal strength is abundant, and the juniors are really beyond his reach." Duguhong said.

"Hey, who doesn't know that you Dugu is in charge of the 36 caves of Ouyue, and there are many gangs in the 72nd Peak, which have been crisscrossing the south of the Yangtze River for more than 20 years, unlike the old decay of the sect, all of whom are in the same lineage, and there are very few people." Zhuge Mo also admires Duguhong's heroic half of his life.

Zhuge Mo invited Duguhong's subordinates to sit down, and found a strange young man, handsome and elegant, with eyes like torches, although a little haggard, but that arrogant and domineering. The little girl who followed was wearing an ill-fitting maid costume, but she couldn't hide her luxurious temperament, and she was even more arrogant than the son. Seeing such a strange person, Zhuge Mo looked at Duguhong with some suspicion.

"These two are from the Jiangnan boundary of the Taihu Lake Circle, and the friends I met on the road are very chivalrous and courageous, and have a luxurious temperament, so I took the liberty to bring them to meet the seniors, and I hope that the seniors will not blame." Duguhong explained.

"No, how could it be, at first glance, both of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, the old man can see such a noble person, but the old man is fateful."

Yu Shao immediately stood up and saluted Zhuge Mo, and said: "I have admired the name of my predecessors for a long time, and when I saw the old predecessors today, I was a little presumptuous in my later life, and I hope that my predecessors will forgive me." "Actually, Yu Shao still heard what Dugu Hong said just now, and only then did he know about people like Zhuge Mo.

After Yu Shao finished speaking, Shen Bing also politely greeted Zhuge Mo, his words were decent, and he was generous.

"The old man is fortunate to meet a distinguished guest today, and it is too late to be happy, so there is nothing to blame." Zhuge Mo said with a smile.

"The old gentleman has always had the ability to read people, and he can see at a glance that the two are by no means ordinary, and it seems that my vision is not low." Duguhong laughed arrogantly after speaking.

"Thanks to the praise, the little girl in Xia and the little girl are not worthy of the name, and it is ashamed to be so down." Yu Shao said.

"The ancient sages have all experienced strong winds and waves, and the son and girl are so young, they will definitely be a party in the future." After Zhuge Mo finished speaking to Yu Shao, he looked around again and said: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, I have prepared some drinks to express my heart, so please go to the back hall and take a seat."

There are several tables of eight immortal tables in the back hall, there are only eight people to sit at each table, Duguhong's subordinates know the rules, no one goes to sit at the middle table, which is the banquet of the host and important guests, the table and the back are hung with the portrait of Zhuge Liang, and the first two positions of the portrait are the most honorable guests and the host. This Zhuge family even talks about the position of the wine table, Zhuge Mo is of course the host position, Shen Bing sat next to Zhuge Mo generously, as if he was usually used to eating in this position, Yu Shao was a little strange in his heart that she didn't understand etiquette, but she didn't say it, Zhuge Mo and Dugu Hong were not displeased, and even felt that Shen Bing should be the most distinguished guest, Yu Shao had to sit on Shen Bing's side, opposite Dugu Hong and Zhuge Feng, and the other positions were Zhuge Mo's proud disciples.

Everyone was seated and had a drink. The table is full of delicacies, color, flavor and flavor, Zhuge Mo's family is quite concerned about the quality of life, and the dishes are mouth-watering. After a few rounds of drinking, everyone began to talk and chat.

Zhuge Mo opened his mouth and asked Dugu Hong: "Master Dugu, you have been going to the Central Plains for a few months, and things are almost done." ”

Duguhong said: "I chased the murderer all the way to Luoyang, and with the help of the beggars, I secretly retrieved the 'ghost shadow' and the "Twenty-four Articles of the Art of War" of my predecessors. After speaking, he took out a military book from his arms and handed it to Zhuge Mo. Then he said: "The person who stole is not only strong in martial arts, but also superior in resourcefulness, I am very ashamed, and I am very ashamed of her, and I am defeated after a few tricks with her, but fortunately, there are many good players of the beggar gang to shoot together, so as not to be injured to death." ”

Zhuge Mo held the "Twenty-four Articles of the Art of War" and said to Dugu Hong gratefully: "The old man is old, he is unable to enter and exit the Central Plains, and his disciples are also not proficient in learning and art. After saying that, he wanted to stand up and salute.

Duguhong immediately stopped it and said: "I have received many instructions from my predecessors to have today's martial arts attainments, and it is my duty to contribute to my predecessors." ”

Zhuge Mo said: "The head of Dugu is so righteous, but the old man is embarrassed, and he failed to take care of the sages' masterpieces, it is my carelessness, this person can easily enter and exit my Zhuge Bagua Village, it is by no means an ordinary person, has the head of Dugu seen some of this person's doorway?"

Dugu Hong said: "There are two people who stole them, they seem to be women, dressed in black, covered with black veil, one old and one young, the young woman's martial arts are also invisible, some evil spirits, ruthless, martial arts are much higher than mine, the old kung fu is not low, similar to me, but there are some moves and martial arts of the Nangong family." ”

"Do you suspect that the Nangong family did it?" Zhuge Mo asked.

"At first, I doubted it, but then I denied it, the Nangong family is also a famous family in the rivers and lakes, and the family study has been endless, so I shouldn't be interested in the art of weapons and war." Duguhong replied.

"Also, the Nangong family is obsessed with martial arts and disdains the book of war." Zhuge Mo said. "Then how do you think it's not someone from the Nangong family who did it?" "We relied on the strength of the crowd, surrounded the two of them, and when we were about to make a move, the young woman suddenly released a hidden weapon, and the snow flew rapidly in the sky, and a large number of people fell, and the two took the opportunity to escape, and the package was left there and could not be taken away, and the people I brought with me also died. This secret weapon is the most domineering, if I guess correctly, it should be the 'Feng Xueling' of the Nangong family. I thought that the Nangong family did it, but on the way back, I met the second young man of the Nangong family, and from his words, I heard that the Nangong family had a big deal, and I also knew that the Nangong family was also chasing these two people. Duguhong explained.

"Brother Dugu is right, although the Nangong family is also a clan family that is proficient in the gossip of the Nine Palaces, they act above board and will never be a dog thief." Yu Shao interjected.

"Oh, Childe knows someone from the Nangong family?" Dugu Hong asked, thinking in his heart that this son was unfathomable, first he knew the Huwei Dart Bureau, and now he said that he knew the Nangong family.

Zhuge Mo was also very surprised.

"I've seen these two women, the second young man of the Nangong family is also my hair young, 'Feng Xueling' was his baby, but it was stolen by these two people, I once helped a friend track down this matter, I met it in a restaurant in Yixing, the old one I have seen the real face, but the young one has been veiled, so it is really mysterious." Yu Shao said.

"I can't imagine that the people I have made friends with are all famous people who have been famous for a long time in the rivers and lakes, but I look down on you a little, dare to ask what kind of teacher Gongzi is?" Dugu Hong asked, wondering if he was clumsy, and he couldn't see that this young man was a hidden person.

Yu Shao smiled and said: "I am indeed not a person in the rivers and lakes, and martial arts are also sparse and ordinary, but those two famous martial arts families, on the other side of my family Taihu Lake, my father used to be a general, and he likes to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes after returning to seclusion, the owners of these two families have come to my house, and they have met a young master who is the same age as me, and we grew up together on Taihu Lake, so we have a deep friendship." Yu Shao roughly talked about the experience of knowing martial arts people.

"Oh, it turns out that it is so related, presumably those two young masters are also the same as Gongzi, with a chivalrous heart." Zhuge Mo said.

"That's right, my two martial arts friends are really chivalrous, and it's not that they didn't make friends with me for martial arts, on the contrary, they all think of me as a big brother." Yu Shao said proudly. "No wonder Gongzi is so interested in my Zhuge Bagua Village, he must know about the defense of the Nangong family." Zhuge Feng also interjected to speak.

Yu Shao said: "It's not, I went to the Nangong family once, and I only went to the courtyard of his house, and I didn't know the ingenious layout of the Nangong family, I just usually like some miscellaneous books of three religions and nine streams, learned some doorways, and saw the wonderful layout of the Bagua Village, and wanted to verify what the book said." ”

"Childe has such a wide range of hobbies, but he is also a ** character." Zhuge Mo said.

"Although Childe disdains the rules of the rivers and lakes, he acts with the heroic spirit of the people in the rivers and lakes, and when I got on the horse, I saw that your light skills were not weak." Duguhong said.

"I had some coincidence, my father saved a mysterious person who was covered with injuries, and in order to repay him, he taught me some kung fu, but he didn't teach me martial arts moves." Yu Shao said.

"Your father knows how to heal?" Zhuge Mo asked. Zhuge Bagua Village is a well-known medical family, the "Tianyitang" of the "Bagua Gate" operates medicinal materials, Zhuge Mo himself is also a master of medical skills, and he has a good impression of people who know medical skills.

"What kind of medicine does my father know, and the daughter of a benefactor he adopted is indeed a skilled doctor and a wonderful hand to rejuvenate." Yu Shao thought of Bai Mingyue.

"Well, this medical saint, I really want to meet him, if the son is free, he must bring that girl to me next time." Zhuge Mo said: "Presumably, the trauma medicine on the little girl next to me was developed by the girl you said." ”

Yu Shao saw that Zhuge Mo's nose was really Lingying, presumably Zhuge Mo often dealt with medicinal materials, Yu Shao replied: "That's right, this medicine is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, but the effect of the medicine is really powerful, as long as it does not hurt the external injuries of the inner house, no matter how heavy it is, it can be brought back to life." ”

Zhuge Mo was a little fascinated, and said to Yu Shao: "Whether the son has this medicine with him, the old man really wants to see it." ”

Yu Shao said: "Thanks to the seniors for being so important, I will leave some medicine for the seniors to study." After speaking, he took out the 'musk white jade paste' from the baggage and handed it to Zhuge Mo.

Dugu Hong also stepped forward, Zhuge Mo opened the oil paper bag, a ball of white gelatinous medicine glowed, exuding a musky fragrance, and there was a faint smell of flowers and plants, which smelled very good.

Zhuge Mo blurted out, "This is a miracle medicine." ”

Dugu Hong looked at Zhuge Mo suspiciously, and said, "Senior, you haven't seen the course of treatment, how do you know that this medicine should be used." ”

"I can smell dozens of medicinal materials, all of which are the top grades of healing drugs, and there are some unknown smells of flowers and plants, which are the soul of this medicine. Zhuge Mo said.

Yu Shao said: "The predecessor is right, it is not easy to make those medicines, this medicine is called 'musk white jade paste', after the girl came to my house, she rarely concocted it, and many medicinal materials cannot be bought in Jiangnan." ”

Dugu Hong said to Yu Shao: "I have a few injured brothers, do you want to send some to me." Duguhong pointed to a few people at the other table.

"There is a reason for the eldest brother not to send it when he speaks." Yu Shao pointed at Shen Bing and said, "This little girl doesn't need to change the dressing, this 'musk white jade paste' will be given to Brother Dugu and Zhuge seniors." ”

The two didn't expect Yu Shao to be so generous, Dugu Hong didn't know the beauty of this medicine, but Zhuge Mo was a person who knew the goods, he got half of it with Dugu Hong, and said: "This is an elixir, just wipe some on the wound, don't be violent." ”

Dugu Hong nodded, said "Thank you" to Yu Shao, and put the 'musk white jade paste' into his arms.

Zhuge Mo said to Yu Shao: "Gongzi gave me such a heavy object, I can't help but express it, see what you want, I won't refuse." ”

"Seniors are too worried, I don't have any requirements, you are also a master of medical skills, and the elixir gift to you can be regarded as meeting the master, I don't know the formula, otherwise the prescription can also be given to you." Yu Shao said.

"Childe is so righteous, but the old man is a little embarrassed, I have never suffered from vain, Childe said so, I have to return the elixir to you." Zhuge Mo reluctantly handed the 'musk white jade paste' back to Yu Shao.

Yu Shao pushed his hands away and said: "Since the predecessor said so, I'm not welcome, I want to borrow the "Twenty-four Chapters of the Art of War", just one night, I will never take away the heirloom of the 'Bagua Gate'." ”

Zhuge Mo thought that he wanted to teach some tricks of the 'Bagua Gate' and Yu Shao, but Yu Shao didn't seem to require martial arts, but instead wanted to read the military book, which was unexpected. This book is made by Zhuge Liang's ancestors, not a martial arts cheats, it may be useful for people who march and fight, people in the rivers and lakes are not interested, the two women in black came to steal this book, Zhuge Mo also felt strange, put the cheats of 'Baguazhang' did not steal, but stole this book. Zhuge defaulted to the thief, and when he saw that the "Twenty-four Articles of the Art of War" was placed in the most important position, he thought that it was a martial arts cheat. This art of war is just a jerky and boring book for ordinary outsiders and martial arts people, and no one cares about it, but for Zhuge Bagua Village, this is the handwriting left by the ancestor Zhuge Liang, and it is more important than life.

Zhuge Mo listened to Yu Shao just borrowing a bowl, of course he readily agreed, but his eyes looked at Dugu Hong. said: "Dugu is tired all the way, how about resting at my place for one night." ”

Dugu Hong understood what Zhuge Mo meant, and also knew that Yu Shao was a little interested in this book, and said: "Then it would be disrespectful." ”

That night, Yu Shao read it at night, "The Art of War" read it carefully three times, and did not understand the mystery, Yu Shao also knew that he wanted to understand Zhuge Liang's advanced art of war in one night, which was a fool's dream, but Yu Shao relied on his strong memory to memorize the words and sentences of the "Twenty-four Articles of the Art of War", and then it was not difficult to write it down silently after leaving Zhuge Bagua Village.

Thinking that he would have to hurry tomorrow and that he had a great responsibility to protect Shen Bing, Yu Shao read "The Twenty-Four Chapters of the Art of War" three times in the middle of the night, so he forced himself to blow out the lamp and go to bed. Zhuge Mo saw that the lights went out in Yu Shao's room in the middle of the night, and thought that this son was just looking for curiosity, and when he saw that the words on the book were jerky and difficult to understand, he would not be so interested, and said with a smile in his heart that Yu Shao was young after all, and he didn't know the importance of martial arts secrets, so he had to hunt for curiosity and read Zhuge Liang's handwriting.

But soon Zhuge Mo couldn't laugh, he was still studying the 'musk white jade paste' given by Yu Shao in the middle of the night, and went to the Tibetan near the 'Tianyitang' to look for some pharmacological classics, and saw a hidden drawer open. Zhuge Mo's face suddenly turned a little pale, he knew that this secret grid was hidden in the secret book of "Yin Yang Bagua Palm", and immediately stepped forward to check, and sure enough, the secret book was gone. At this time, Zhuge Mo was extremely angry, and called his disciples overnight.

Dugu Hong and Yu Shao also got up and came to the "Tianyi Hall".

Zhuge Mo told Dugu Hong the reason for the matter, Dugu Hong is a person he trusts, and it will never be a good thing for him to do. Zhuge Mo looked at Yu Shao, and with his ability to recognize people, he felt that it would not be Yu Shao and Shen Bing, Shen Bing, a little girl, did not know martial arts, and Yu Shao blew the lamp to rest under his nose. So Zhuge Mo also told Yu Shao about it.

Who could that be? The Shadow Woman Who Stole "The Twenty-Four Chapters of the Art of War"? Impossible, Zhuge Mo denied this idea, after losing the "Twenty-four Chapters of the Art of War", Nazang strengthened his vigilance, even if the martial arts were high, it was impossible not to alarm the guards. Zhuge Mo is an old Jianghu after all, and he quickly stabilized his mood and immediately called the gatekeeper.

Zhuge Mo asked the gatekeeper, "Who has gone in to hide today?" ”

Seeing Zhuge Mo's serious expression, the gatekeeper replied tremblingly: "There are many people who have been in and out of Tibet today, but they are all people from the 'Bagua Gate', and none of them I don't know. ”

The hiding of the Bagua Gate is not a forbidden place, the disciples in the door can enter and exit freely, the villagers of the Bagua Village can also come here if they want to consult the medical classics, there are more acupuncture and pharmacology books in the building, and the martial arts cheats are locked, if you want to borrow it, only with Zhuge Mo's consent, and read it in the building. But now the drawer of the hidden compartment is open, and the lock has been picked.

It must be an internal thief, Zhuge Mo thought of the conclusion, but who could it be?

In the middle of the night, the Bagua Village of the third watch was dark, but the 'Tianyi Hall' was brightly lit and crowded. Zhuge Mo's disciples were all expressionless, although they did not steal, but they were also afraid that the head of the sect would suspect him, it was really wronged. Zhuge Mo looked sharply at his disciples with a pair of wise eyes. Dugu Hong and Yu Shao felt that it was not a good taste here, although Zhuge Mo did not suspect them, but in the eyes of his disciples, he could not escape the involvement. And Zhuge Mo is not a good way to look for internal thieves in front of outsiders, but since he woke up Duguhong and Yu Shao, he can't wipe his face and ask them to leave. As a result, everyone present was quite embarrassed. But there is one exception, and that is Zhuge Feng.

Yu Shao relied on a natural sensitive trait, and after this period of time, he was extremely alert to any incident. He had already found that Zhuge Feng's face and expression were different, the expression on his face seemed to be smiling, and his hands and feet were also very calm, but it was this calmness that made Yu Shao see that this person was by no means ordinary, and it was obviously pretended, and a person who did this must want to stay out of the matter calmly, so he tried his best to pretend to have an expression that it was not about him. Yu Shao had played these psychological games when he was very young, and this Zhuge Feng must have something to do with this matter. Of course, Yu Shao's first thing to do was to return the "Twenty-four Articles of the Art of War" to Zhuge Mo, but he didn't want this art of war to go wrong in his hands, in case something happened, it would inevitably be linked to the stolen martial arts cheats, and he couldn't wash it away if he jumped into the Yellow River here and now. But Yu Shao didn't talk about the suspect Zhuge Feng.
