At that time, He Yuanyi felt that there was a door when he heard it, and immediately nodded and replied, "It can be done." ”

Liu Li: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to test your guts." ”

How to try it? Liu Li asked He Yuanzhi to go to an old cemetery in the middle of the night in the middle of the night, one of which was washed away by the rain and half of it was exposed, and of course there was a dead body lying in the grave, and the dead body had a piece of jade tied around its waist. He Yuanzhi needed to go alone to find the tomb, take out the jade bi, and hand it over to Liu Li intact when he came back, even if he passed the test.

Liu Li also made a special request, once he held the jade bi, he would not let go, and scared her: "The desolate grave in the middle of the night has always been a place of supernatural spirits, and people's minds are easily disturbed. You are also a spiritual woman, with a yin constitution and vitality, maybe there will be an unexpected situation, and you must act calmly and properly at that time. ”

This kind of thing is indeed too difficult for a big girl, but He Yuanzhi is so bold that he agreed with a smile.

Hearing this, You Fang couldn't help but laugh. In fact, he can also see through this trick played by the old man, and it is one of the means for the Jianghu people to test the courage of their disciples. The "dead corpse" lying in the grave was dressed up by the master himself, just to see if this disciple dared to come alone at the specified time. Naturally the timid will not come, those who want to be opportunistic may go secretly during the day, some people will go at the appointed time, but they will invite a group of friends or bodyguards to follow them to strengthen their courage, and some people simply pay someone to hire someone to pick up things.

He Yuanzhi agreed with a smile, presumably she had seen through the old man's tricks, but as long as she really dared to go, her courage was not small, as for whether she could meet the old man's requirements in all aspects, that was another matter. Liu Li ignored You Fang's smile and continued to tell the story by himself-

At that time, Liu Li lived in the suburbs of Liuzhou, Guangxi, and He Yuanzhi slipped out of his home to find the old man to learn art. That night, He Yuanzhi specially cooked a few plates of good dishes for Liu Li, bought two bottles of good wine, and let the old man wait for delicious food and drink. When she went out after dark, Liu Li was drinking, and specially advised: "Don't worry, be careful, and walk slowly." ”

He Yuanzhi was in a hurry to complete the task, and as soon as he went out, he strode to the old cemetery in the suburbs. It was indeed terrifying enough to arrive at the place, it had just rained lightly, the boots squeaked on the mud and made a strange sound, and scattered ghost fires were faintly visible on all sides. There was no wind in this cemetery, but the wind in the mountains could be heard in the distance, as if someone was playing a whimpering long shaw.

She also felt that her scalp was numb, goosebumps all over her body, and secretly emboldened herself: "It's nothing to be afraid, how can anyone not be afraid?" Just don't panic! …… Not to mention that there are no ghosts, even if they are really haunted, I don't need to be afraid with my kung fu. …… Well, pay attention to the stake and stand firm, don't accidentally slip and let the old man who pretends to be a dead body see the joke. ”

He Yuanzhi put on leather gloves on his left hand, tied a flashlight to the outside of his wrist, which was very convenient to light up, and walked into the cemetery with a short knife in his right hand. It didn't take much time, and I really found the tomb that Liu Li said, it seems that half of it has collapsed after a long time, and the coffin has formed a grave hole after decaying, and there is really a corpse lying in it. With a flashlight, the clothes on the corpse were worn but still intact, and a piece of jade was tied around his waist.

Seeing such a "terrifying" scene, He Yuanzhi was not afraid, but laughed secretly in his heart. The tomb has become like this, there should have been no bones in it, how could there be such a corpse lying there, it was clearly the old man himself, the flaws were too obvious! Without saying a word, she leaned forward and grabbed the jade pendant with her left hand.

Under the light of the flashlight, the "corpse" actually moved, and reached out and grabbed the ribbon that tied the jade. He Yuanzhi did not panic, waved the knife in his right hand to cut the ribbon, and knocked the back of the "corpse" with the back of the knife, jumped off the grave with a backflip of the jade bi, turned around and slipped out of the cemetery.

So far, things have gone well, but it's not over yet. Walking out of the cemetery secretly proud, He Yuanzhi was about to rush back, but when he looked up, he saw a figure coming on the road with a very fast body. When he got closer, it was Liu Li with a flashlight, the old man changed into shabby clothes, carried a wine bottle in his left hand, and tied a piece of jade around his waist.

He Yuanzhi was surprised, and stepped forward and said, "Master, why did I see you here?" ”

Liu Li burped, glared and said, "If you want to go slowly, how can it be so fast!" I just had a few extra drinks......"

He Yuanzhi was furious all of a sudden, interrupted Liu Li's words, raised his left hand and said in a trembling voice: "You always want me to take the jade bi......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Li patted his waist and said in shock: "Yubi is still with me!" What the hell did you go to and what the hell did you take? ”

Just like this sentence, He Yuanzhi suddenly reacted that something was wrong, and he screamed in fright, and his hand shook, and the jade fell to the ground and shattered. ——The piece of jade was originally broken, and it was barely glued together, and it would undoubtedly be broken if it fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Liu Li suddenly smiled, took a sip of wine with a smile and said, "Yuanzhi, have you forgotten my orders?" Once you hold the jade, you must not let go, if there is an accident, you must act calmly, dispose of it properly, and hand it over to me intact. …… You love to anticipate things with your heart, but you can't be completely calm and calm when things happen, haven't you noticed that the man lying in the grave is wearing the same clothes as I am? ”

The story is over here, and you don't need Liu Liduo to explain, You Fang can also guess the inside story-

The "dead corpse" lying in the grave is indeed Liu Li's own pretense, and He Yuanzhi also successfully got something, which is no different from the traditional Jianghu people's method of testing the courage of disciples, but the old man played a new trick and added a threshold at the back. When He Yuanzhi left, Liu Li also got up quickly, used his body to sneak out of the cemetery, and pretended to be just coming on the way here, which made He Yuanzhi panic with a word.

He Yuanzhi can always see through Liu Li's tricks, and often makes the old man lose his temper, thinking that this time is the same as before. When the situation was unexpected, she found that she was not as calm and able to deal with it as she imagined before, and of course she failed Liu Li's test. This old man is too "bad", but his methods are indeed clever.

After listening to the story, You Fang asked with a smile, "What happened to that Miss He?" ”

Liu Li: "Naturally, I can't inherit the mantle of my contemporary earth master, she slipped out of the house to mess around, and then naturally went home, it was all twenty years ago, and now she has already married and had children." …… Don't talk about her, or you! Little wanderer, what are you laughing at, do you think you are calm enough? ”

When the old man asked, he looked at You Fang, and his expression seemed to be smiling, which made You Fang always feel that he had no bottom in his heart. He didn't understand what the old man's purpose was in telling this story. Is there something wrong with me, think carefully about what happened tonight, there is nothing obvious wrong between the responses, and I have tried to deal with everything as best as I can.

You Fang asked suspiciously, "What is wrong with the juniors today?" Please advise! ”

Liu Li finally couldn't hold back, hehe laughed out loud, pointed to his crotch and said: "Your decision on the spot is clean and neat, I am very satisfied, but you have left a lot of flaws, so it must be very eye-catching to go out like this." ”

You Fangyi lowered his head and blushed, looking so embarrassed. Today he lied that he was going to get out of the car to pee, luring the two gangsters to do it from behind, and he had to pretend to pull the zipper on the trouser door all the way down, and then ...... The attack was moved. At that time, it was understandable that I didn't have time to pull it up, but after dealing with so many things for such a long time, I thought I was very calm and acted without any flaws, but I forgot that the "big front door" was always open.

Of course, he didn't wear underwear in the hot weather, but the front hem of his shirt was cut in the bushes, and he could directly see the open zipper and the underwear inside, which was really a big "flaw".

You Fang hurriedly pulled the zipper, and Liu Li laughed enough, so he said in a tone of lesson: "Your real flaw is not in your pants, nor is it today, it's time to talk about business." You must have a lot to ask me, find a place with a good scenery and talk slowly, I also have a lot to ask you. Go down the mountain and sit on the Qingyan boat by the lake. ”

……

On the lake at the west foot of Wanshou Mountain in the Summer Palace, there is a big boat carved from huge stones. In classical Chinese gardens, you can often see pavilions built from the shore of the mountain into the lake, which have the effect of gathering qi from the perspective of feng shui, harmonizing and gathering the yin and yang qi of the landscape, such as the small Canglang Pavilion on the shore of Daming Lake. However, when the pavilion is changed to a boat, the feng shui bureau changes, guiding the earth qi to be in a dynamic state, playing the role of running the air flow of yin and yang. Such a building was built in the Summer Palace, the royal garden, and it seems that there should also be a famous hall in Wanshou Mountain.

This stone boat was built in the Qianlong period, the total length of 36 meters of boulder carving, later the British and French forces burned down the Chinese-style cabin on the boat, the Empress Dowager Cixi in the Guangxu period and ordered to be transformed into a Western-style cabin, and named Qingyan Fang, and now it has become a famous water landscape in the Summer Palace. The innocent boat is still standing quietly on the water, with exquisite and elegant craftsmanship and beautiful appearance, for Chinese and foreign tourists to enjoy, comment and sigh.

In the middle of the night, under the moonlight, the hustle and bustle of the tourists has long been gone, there is no figure in the four places, only the huge boat is still in place, as if ready to set sail to the lake at any time but has never moved a step, only the spiritual sense can sense the spiritual qi in the slow flow of the earth without stopping, it is not the lake wave but the years.

There are two people sitting on the boat floor, an old man and a young man, Liu Li looked at the water and recalled the past: 90 years ago, it was a troubled time, he took classes in Tsinghua Garden in Beiping, and walked to the Summer Palace every night to practice.

Seeing that the old man didn't speak for a long time, You Fang couldn't help but cough lightly. Liu Li withdrew his thoughts from the old past, and said with a faint smile: "Are you in a hurry?" Don't be in a hurry, talk slowly, and don't mess up. Let me start with the first question for you - do you know how I found you, where are your flaws? ”

You Fang replied honestly: "The vase I consigned back to Yanjing from Qingxian is equivalent to telling you where to find me when you are old." ”

Liu Li nodded with satisfaction: "Well, yes, it wasn't that you were careless at that time, because you didn't know me yet." It is inevitable that people will be negligent in their actions, but after suffering losses, they must be clear about where the flaws are. …… Let me ask you again, today I just blocked the left fox, but let you be in danger, what do you think? ”

You Fang replied: "In the face of that kind of master, you don't have time to be distracted, blocking him is equivalent to saving me." Besides, you and I just met by chance in the rivers and lakes, I haven't done anything for you, and you have given me so much, the younger generation only has endless gratitude in their hearts! ”

Liu Li smiled again, and his expression became very gentle: "You can't say that, you also invited me to two meals!" …… Well, very good, you are sensible and sensible, unlike some people who get more and ask for more, the more you give, the more he wants, if you don't give it all, you will be dissatisfied and even resentful, most of the unfilial children in the world are like this, and you are still a filial child.

Besides, the matter was caused by yourself, and you should also learn to deal with it yourself, it is difficult to remember the surname for a long time after not being taught this lesson, no matter how big my old man's ability is, can he always carry it for you? And I know very well that you can completely clean up that pustule, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for you to be verbose. …… Ask a third question, do you know what mistakes you have made? Involve my old man in this danger! ”

You Fang bowed his head and said, "I shouldn't have studied something of unknown origin in the library in public, so that I got into trouble, and I didn't expect to meet that kind of person in the reading room." ”

Liu Li snorted and asked like a cannon, "What kind of person?" Someone who has spiritual consciousness like you? What's so strange about this, it's the National Library, and strange people often come and go, don't you go there yourself? ”

You Fang explained: "With spiritual sense, there is nothing abnormal in that jade plate, so I will hold it in my hand in public and study it, is it because my skill is not enough?" But that Hu Xuyuan is not much stronger than me, it is unlikely that he will detect the abnormality, does he know this thing? Look at your old man, what is the origin of this jade plaque, which almost killed me? As he spoke, he took out the jade plaque wrapped in yellow silk, opened the silk cloth and handed it over.

Liu Li took the thing and said in surprise: "What jade plate?" Why did you pull out a jade plaque again? I thought it was because of that sword, you were raising a sword in Zizhu Courtyard, and you were accidentally spied by Hu Xuyuan, so I followed you into the library...... Oh! ”

The old man let out a short exclamation halfway through his words, because he saw the jade plate clearly, his expression suddenly became very strange, mixed with shock and deep sadness, staring at the jade plate for a long time, he slowly closed his eyes and raised his head, he didn't speak for a long time, his eyebrows were trembling slightly, obviously his heart was extremely uneasy.

You Fang is also the second monk who is confused, he tossed all night today, could it be that he put an oolong, Liu Li didn't know that Hu Xuyuan's goal was this jade plate? Seeing the old man's reaction so excited, it was really not pretended. After a long time, he cautiously asked, "Senior, you know it, don't you always know that this jade plate is on me?" It was on the outskirts of Qingxian that night, when the wild fox and they robbed the tomb, you should have been there at the time? ”

When Liu Li opened his eyes and answered, his expression had returned to calm, but his tone was a little low and slightly hoarse: "I'm not an immortal, I was only watching from the distant mountain at that time, how could I know all the details in the cornfield?" …… Later, I found out with my divine sense that you were carrying a very spiritual blade, which was very rare but sealed by Yin Qi, and you yourself told me that it was a short sword, and then I only saw your sword from a distance, and I haven't carefully seen its true face. …… Since you have seen this jade plaque, if my guess is correct, your sword should be named Qin Yu, and you go to the National Library, either to check the bird seal inscription on the sword or to check the talisman inscription on the jade plaque. ”

You Fang untied the short sword hidden between his waist and handed it over: "The predecessor guessed well, this ancient sword is called Qin Yu, and I went to the national map to check the talisman on the jade plate, can you tell me the origin of these two things?" ”

Liu Li took Qin Yu, but he didn't pull out the sword from the sheath, lowered his head and stroked the bird seal on the sword, and said as if talking to himself: "Could it be that there is a providence in the dark, is God pitying me as an old man, or is he teasing me, an old man?" …… When I met you on the outskirts of Qingxian County, I was tempted to chase you around the entire North China Plain, but I didn't expect you to carry these two things. …… There is more than one evil blade with a spirit surname in the world, and there are even more buried underground that are sealed by Yin Qi, but it is Qin Yu! ”

After saying this, he raised his head and looked at You Fang and said: "Little Youzi, I know you have a lot of doubts, but I haven't finished my words, and there is one last question, you didn't elaborate on when you were in Jinan - you and the crazy fox They robbed the tomb that night, especially the details of getting these two things, as long as you can think of it, tell me the original." ”

The process of that night's events was not complicated, especially the discovery of the ancient sword and the jade plate was also very simple, You Fang recounted and narrated, and it was finished in less than half an hour.

Liu Li sighed and said, "It turned out that it was such a mistake!" Okay, I'm done with all the questions I need to ask, and I'm ready to answer your questions. …… Sixty-four years ago, he disappeared with Lu Wenxing, the previous head of the Xunluan faction, and Qin Yu is Lu Wenxing's sword, which has also been passed down by the Xunluan faction since ancient times. ”

You Fang was very surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Inheritance token, owned by the master?" With this jade plate, can you be the head of the Xunluan faction? No wonder Hu Xuyuan is greedy. ”

Liu Li's mood was a little low, but at this moment, he was also amused by You Fang's words, and raised his sword scabbard and knocked on his head: "Have you read too many martial arts novels, or are you deliberately amusing my old man, how can there be such attention on the rivers and lakes?" The inheritance token is just a symbol, and the inheritance of the position of the head will be the token, not to be the head of the house with the token, and the cause and effect cannot be overturned. Otherwise, an outsider picked up this brand and went to the Xunluan faction to try it on the shelf, and it would be light to be repaired by others! ”
