Jinzhou coastal water, this is the rich and rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, the rivers are like weaving, the rivers converge into the sea, it is the intersection of the Central Plains mainland and the sea into the sea, the spices and silk from overseas, the foreign goods are rare, the tea silk, celadon and white jade transported out, people come and go, bring the prosperity of Jinzhou like winter bamboo shoots, rising day by day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But that was before, before there were no Japanese slaves.

Now in Jinzhou, there are few pedestrians in the city, the shops are withered, and after walking a whole street, Ah Xiu and Xiang Ling'er saw an inn with half a door open.

They and Sanxing Pian Pian have gone separately, that day inquired and learned that Gu Yin's Wan'an Army is currently camping in Qingzhou, so they broke up in Suzhou, Ah Xiu and Xiang Ling'er went east, Sanxing and Pian Pian couldn't wait to continue south, to Qingzhou.

Xiang Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, led the horse over, went up the steps and shouted, "Stay in the hotel!" ”

A panicked voice came from the dark room: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, I can't live in this store." ”

Ah Xiu followed and saw an old shopkeeper with a linen scarf wrapped around his head.

Xiang Ling'er retracted the foot that walked into the house, and looked up at the plaque at the door of the store: "Hongfu Inn, that's right, it's an inn!" ”

The old shopkeeper bowed slightly, with a helpless face: "Don't hide it from the girl, today our owner took advantage of the fact that the Japanese slaves and thieves did not come, and came back to pack things, and when the carriage came, it was going to close the door and go back to the hometown." ”

"Why? Do Japanese slaves and thieves come often? Haven't they been beaten away? Ah Xiu asked puzzled.

The old shopkeeper looked at the two of them and sighed, "The two girls came from afar, right?" Now this Golden State is fine, and if you come, you won't lose your life, if you change it, the two of you are afraid that you will not be able to walk into this city gate properly. ”

"That?" Xiang Ling'er flashed her big eyes and looked at the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper continued: "Now it's time to run away, Jinzhou, King Yue doesn't dare to ask for it, he is afraid of the Japanese slaves, and the Japanese slaves don't dare to ask for it, he is afraid of the Wan'an Army." But as soon as Wan Anjun left, they came back. It's as if you have your eyes and ears in this Golden State, and you haven't been like this yet. As soon as the Wan'an army left, they landed on the shore, burned and looted all the way, killed people when they saw them, robbed them of money, and didn't even let go of a chicken or a piece of iron! The Wan'an army left General Li to guard Jinzhou. But Jinzhou is thirty miles of sea, how can it be guarded everywhere. ”

"Those thieves are really thieves and thieves, General Li hit them, they hid in the sea, and as soon as General Li left, they landed on the shore. The rebels are afraid, but the people have suffered, maybe one day those evil ghosts and dog thieves will break in, and they can't live in peace, so it's better to go! ”

He shook his head, sighed repeatedly, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Why did the two girls come here, if there is nothing to do, persuade the two of you to leave early, don't meet the Japanese slaves and thieves, that is, the Jade Emperor and the Golden Immortal will not be able to save you!" ”

During the period when Ah Xiu was talking to the old shopkeeper, while listening, he lowered his head and counted his five fingers carefully.

When the old shopkeeper spoke, she had a certain number in her heart, raised her head, and said sincerely:

"Old shopkeeper, we are here to find someone, and I am afraid that we will not be able to leave for a while. There is really no place to live in this city. You see that this is feasible, you inn, we will charter the backyard and live for half a month. The money will be paid to you first, and when we leave, we will lock the inn. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and lowered a cloth bag.

The old shopkeeper shook his head first: "It's not proper, let's not talk about the problem of money, in the past half a month, who knows if the thieves will come, it's too ...... for you to live here, girl."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, because the corner of his eye was stunned by something, and he looked down and saw that in the cloth bag, there were at least four or five gold bars.

He suddenly felt a little dry mouth, and couldn't help licking his lips, his broken backyard, piling firewood, and putting horses, these gold bars can buy ten!

I'm afraid this person has too much money to spend, live for half a month, give so much!

Ah Xiu handed the bag forward, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, and said hurriedly and embarrassedly: "The backyard is too much, too broken." The girl in the front yard room lives, and if she wants to eat, the kitchen girl can come in casually. When you go, just lock me up. Hey, but if this lock is not locked, it doesn't matter, if the slave thief wants to enter, it won't work if he locks it ten or eight times. But then again, there's nothing else in this courtyard except for some wooden guys. ”

Xiangling'er saw the joy in his eyes that couldn't be concealed when he saw the gold, and kept thinking about it, and couldn't help laughing, and said to him: "Yes, yes, your yard is happy to see the woodcutter, so you can rest assured that we can live." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and said, "Sister, I'll feed the horses, you go in first." ”

Ah Xiu nodded, let her lead the horse to the backyard, took the burden into the door, just walked two steps, turned around, and said to the old shopkeeper who was standing by the door looking at the gold and was overjoyed: "Old shopkeeper, after half a month, you can come back and have a look, at that time, you should be able to live for a long time." ”

The old shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and only when he came back to his senses did he understand what she said, and just wanted to ask a few more words, but when he saw that she had already walked to the front yard, he couldn't help muttering: "Half a month? Can you kill all the Japanese slaves in half a month? Hey, rich man who doesn't know the danger! ”

The two of them made a fire, washed and cooked, and when night fell, only the two of them were left in the inn.

Xiang Ling'er inspected the courtyard, and when she returned to the house, the desk in front of Ah Xiu was full of things, copper coins, incense candles, tea bowls, and hair, all of which were hexagrams, and each was different.

"Sister, are you going to set up a stall to tell fortunes?"

Ah Xiu propped his elbows on the table, covered his face with his hand, shook his head, seemed to be infinitely bored, and whispered: "Count the sky and the people, but you can't count yourself, I can't calculate, I don't know where to find the answer!" ”

A hint of pity flashed in Xiang Ling'er's eyes, and she sat down opposite her: "Sister, although I don't know how to tell fortunes, I have intuition, and I believe that we will find the answer you want!" ”

Ah Xiuyi couldn't help but wrinkle the skin on his face with both hands, and simply took it off, revealing the original autumn water and hibiscus eyes, rippling with water waves, looking at the self-confident Xiangling'er, and smiling bitterly: "Where to find it?" ”

Xiang Ling'er also dragged her cheeks, and she didn't know what thoughts were turning in her mind, and suddenly excitedly said, "Isn't there a Yin Yang Stone?" Doesn't it know the past and the future? ”

"Yin-Yang Stone?" Ah Xiu's eyes were full of confusion, and she didn't know how to open this yin-yang stone, it was just an accident that day, maybe it was the power of the yin-yang stone, which helped her remember the previous life she didn't want to remember.

Yin and Yang Qi? She remembered that under the dark river, the glimmer of the Yin and Yang Stone, and the brilliance of the Yin and Yang Stone in the Xiangguo Imperial Palace, which was as bright as day, were all related to the Qi of Yin and Yang.

She bit her lower lip, took out the yin-yang stone that was hanging back on her chest and said, "I'll try it." ”

The candles went out in the room, and the clear glow of the winter moon was reflected through the window lattice, adding a chill.

Unlike other places in the dark, there is light on the table, like a firefly like a star, a little light, but it seems to be moist and warm.

Ah Xiu held the Yin Yang Stone in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes, and urged Xia Guan Zhenyuan, the two qi of Yin and Yang rose, gathered in the center of the back, and then climbed to the whole body like a spiritual snake, where it swam, it brought a fierce whistling wind, and went straight to the Yin Yang Stone in the palm of the hand.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a bottomless whirlpool surging in the yin and yang stone, and it was like a dark hell that opened the door of Shura, enveloping all of Ah Xiu's vitality into it, rolling it in, and sucking it in.

Ah Xiu also sensed the unfathomable power, and wanted to stop, but found that some of it could not be controlled, and his whole body began to tremble, trying his best to maintain a trace of true qi swimming in his body, not being swept into the abyss by the bottomless whirlpool.

Xiang Ling'er originally sat opposite with peace of mind, waiting to see what miracles the Yin Yang Stone had, until she found that something was wrong with her, as the small white stone became brighter and brighter, the more light it became, Ah Xiu's body kept trembling, like a rose in the wind, and it kept going.

Her eyes were closed, her palms were closed, but the light was getting more and more intense, this was a sign of madness!

Xiang Ling'er didn't care about that much, and hurriedly slashed at her hands holding the Yin-Yang Stone.

Listening to the sound of "boom" and the vigorous exchange of true qi, Ah Xiuru's ears shook and thundered, and his ears buzzed, and he couldn't hear any sound.

At the same time, Xiang Ling'er was also shocked by the powerful energy and fell backwards, the moment she landed, the white light fell in front of her like a white sun, dazzling to the point that the heavens and the earth were bright, and the whole world was engulfed by the white light, and her heart was frightened by the white light, like a soul out of the body, floating above the nine heavens.
