21, point stone gold

The king turned around the well fence no less than a hundred times, and looked into the well every quarter of an hour, he waited from the sunrise to the east to the middle of the moon, and the night light fell on the ground and was miserable and white, but the bottom of the well was still black and rumbling.

The rest of the family rested, but the hard-working Ah Piao accompanied him, but he also yawned and dozed off under the tree. Wang Yuanwai was in good spirits, and his heart was lost and sad, why was there suddenly no gold in the well? Was it taken out by him? It shouldn't be! In the past, this well was like a hen that lays golden eggs, and she produces gold on time and in the right amount every day.

Just as he was puzzled, he was suddenly attracted by a small voice.

Something sank into the water, and then burst out again, making a ticking sound.

Wang Yuanwai pricked up his ears, and after looking for a long time, he finally determined that this strange sound of disobedience came from the courtyard separated by a wall, and he stood on tiptoe to look over there, but the courtyard wall was too high to see anything. So he jumped twice and gave up, and then shook Ah Piao awake.

Ah Piao's sleepy eyes were worried: "Master...... What's the matter? ”

"Shhh Don't talk. Wang Yuanwai cautiously lowered his voice, "Quickly ask me to go up to the wall and take a look." ”

Ah Piao squatted at the base of the wall, laboriously pushed the two hundred catties of Wang Yuanwai up to the wall, the iron rooster pulled the wall, and the fat head poked over with difficulty, and finally saw the scene next door.

It is also a small courtyard, and there is also a well in the center, and at this moment there are two women in white standing by the well, both with solemn expressions. The woman in front of her looks dignified and her eyebrows are majestic, holding flowers in one hand and holding a bottle in the other, which is particularly similar to the Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple, and the woman in the back is round and jade, combing her double crow bun, and lowering her eyebrows, it seems that she is the golden boy and jade girl behind Guanyin, she respectfully holds the tray with both hands, and the tray is filled with black and dark stones.

Wang Yuanwai was stunned. There is someone living next door who knows how to do it, and it used to be an old Beijing official who bought a house to take care of his old age after returning to his hometown, so the installation is quite elegant. He once had the idea of this land, thinking of bringing it to the palace to build a theater, but later when he saw that the owner of the house was an official, he gave up, and he was still afraid of the other party's identity. He vaguely remembered that the old Beijing official seemed to have gone to his relatives, and it was said that no one should live in the house, how could there be a strange woman here?

Wang Yuanwai was very curious, and he didn't dare to make a rash noise, so he kept lying quietly on the wall to look. It's just that Ah Piao at the bottom is suffering, with a thin straw pole-like body, but he has to carry a ball of fat, which sinks so much that his legs tremble.

I saw the Guanyin woman reciting a few verses to the well, and then dipped the water in the bottle with a willow branch, and gently sprinkled it into the well in a square manner, and then, the fairy child behind her poured all the stones in the tray into the well.

The Guanyin woman closed her eyes and recited the sutra for a while, and then raised her hand to the well, and slowly opened her lips: "Get up-"

The fairy boy walked over and shook the well, only to see a bamboo basket tied underneath, and there was something in it, faintly glowing.

Gold!

When the bamboo basket was proposed, Wang Yuanwai almost screamed, he quickly covered his mouth with all his might, tried to stare at the small eyes of the mung bean, and stared at the gold in the basket.

It turned out that the stones that had just been poured into them had turned into gold, yellow and heavy, and each one exuded the most beautiful light.

In the face of so much gold, the Guanyin woman and the fairy child were unmoved, as if they were accustomed to it. The Guanyin woman sent the fairy child to put away the gold and said lightly: "That's the end of today." With that, the two of them left the place, leaving only a wisp of clothes and fragrance outside the king.

"Old man......"

Ah Piao trembled and shouted, Wang Yuanwai suddenly came back to his senses, he hurriedly got off Ah Piao's shoulder, ran to his own well, and put the bucket to salvage without saying a word. Ah Piao grinned and rubbed his arms behind his back and asked, "Master, what are you going to do?" Haven't you fished many times today? Nothing. ”

The king did not answer, but fell to the ground with a clatter after lifting the water, and after several successive times, he lay down like a mouse, and his eyes were on the ground to search. Ah Piao scratched his head for some reason, but didn't say anything, but faithfully accompanied him to find it.

"There it is!"

The hard work paid off, Wang Yuanwai finally found a small piece of gold on the ground, estimated to be the size of a peanut kernel, and when luck came, he soon found a few more.

Ah Piao shouted magically: "It's weird, there is nothing during the day, why did it come out by itself at night?" ”

The king pinched the broken gold and thought thoughtfully.

The well next door is actually connected to his well, and the gold is washed through a narrow tunnel, which explains why there are only broken gold and no gold ingots, and what gold comes and goes. Because there is one next door, there will be rushes over, and if there is no next door, the Wang family will naturally not have it. Wang Yuanwai figured it out so much, but he felt that it didn't matter anymore, because what he should care about now was not these little things, but the alchemy that he had just seen.

If he can also turn stones into gold spells, then what's the worry? Dig up all the stones on the mountain, and all them will be turned into gold, and you will never be able to eat and spend them for a lifetime......

However, although it is a good idea, it is not easy to implement. How can I learn the art of turning stones into gold?

Wang Yuanwai fell into deep thought.

The sky turned white, Ah Piao yawned and went back to the Liu Mansion, Master Lu was waiting for him, Qianqian and Xiaohe didn't sleep, and they were waiting to ask about the situation.

Ah Piao took a sip of tea to refresh himself, shook his head to drive away the drowsiness, and gave a thumbs up to the three of them, indicating that it was done. Xiaohe clapped his hands and jumped excitedly, and Master Lu was also relieved, twisting his beard and laughing: "The big fish is hooked." ”

Qianqian looked commonplace: "In less than three days, the big fat man will definitely come to the door, let's wait...... Hum. She raised her knife and made a slaughtering motion.

"Girl, you're going to kill him?!" Xiaohe was shocked.

"Stupid." Ah Piao tapped her head hard, hating iron but not steel, "We only hurt money, not life, this is the meaning of man-made fish and meat, and I am a knife." ”

Xiaohe touched his sore forehead and suddenly realized: "Oh oh." By the way, girl, the mantra you recited looks like it, is it a real mantra? What's going on with a little bit of stone into gold? ”

Qianqian was also very tired, and covered her mouth: "You can ask Uncle Lu about the alchemy." As for spells...... The little monk lives next door, so I won't listen to it. ”

Where does she know what spells are not spells, but the little monk recites the scriptures every day, she is used to listening to it, and she thinks it is good. As the saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run, and she mutters a few words to deceive outsiders, that's her forte.

The genius was bright, Miao Fan was the first to get up, he first practiced a set of boxing in the yard, then went to wash and change clothes, and then went into the kitchen to fiddle with the morning food. He boiled porridge and steamed steamed buns, remembering that Qianqian said that he didn't like to eat tasteless things, and specially made steamed horns with sugar filling. When he drank porridge and ate steamed buns, the sky was bright, but the others in the house had not gotten up, so he went to the study by himself, opened the door to clean and welcome guests, and consciously sat behind the counter to read.

Like a dutiful young man.

The business of the study is not good, there is no guest in two hours, Miao Fan put down the book, the sun is already very high, and it is estimated that Qianqian is about to get up, so he went around to the inner hall, put hot water at her door, and went into the kitchen to check the food steamed on the stove to ensure that it is correct.

Sure enough, as soon as he left, Qianqian came out with a cloak of hair, and there were sleep marks on his face. She lowered her eyes and saw the things she was washing, so she carried herself into the room, reached out and touched the temperature of the water, which was not cold or hot, so she first warmed her hands, twisted a handkerchief to cover her face, and then rinsed her mouth with green salt, and then sat down in front of the dresser, combing her hair and dressing up slowly.

"Girl, come and eat!"

Ah Piao got up and bit a steamed bun and went over the wall to Wang's house, Master Lu went out as usual after eating, Xiaohe was drinking porridge, and when he saw that Qianqian was late, he hurriedly beckoned her to sit down.

Qianqian glanced at the contents of the plate and pouted: "It's porridge and steamed buns again." ”

Xiaohe nodded and put out the steaming horns: "You like this, it's sweet." ”

"I want to eat crab roe soup dumplings, fish soup, or fat goose and roast duck, I don't like these few things." Qianqian pushed the plate away in disgust.

"Didn't you say that the steamed buns were delicious last time?" Xiaohe said he didn't understand, "Actually, I think the little monk has good skills, and the steamed buns and porridge are very good." ”

Qianqian pouted: "What did he do...... Forget it, just make do. ”

It was almost noon, and Miao Fan was wondering if he should go to the inner hall to have a look, Qianqian had already come out at this time, why hadn't there been any movement at this time. As soon as he got up, the curtain of the door flew, and Qianqian came out with high spirits, and when he saw him, he held his arm affectionately.

"Little monk, accompany me out to play."

Instead of asking, "Can you go out with me?" she asked, "Instead, she asked him to go out with her." Miao Fan was stunned before asking, "Where to go?" ”

Qianqian grinned: "Where do you want to go?" ”

It's not that she wants to go out, how can she ask him where he is going? Miao Fan was stunned for a moment before he said, "It seems that there is no particular place I want to go." ”

"I don't have either, so let's just hang out."

Qianqian couldn't help but say that he pulled Miao Fan out of the house, and Miao Fan still remembered the study: "Then who will watch the store?" ”

"Little Hebei! Otherwise, it's better to close the store, and there will be no business anyway. ”

Not long after they left, Xiaohe closed the study and went out to buy with a vegetable basket. And just when the Liu Mansion was empty, a soft sedan chair was carried to the door of the mansion and landed steadily. The people in the sedan chair did not come out, and the person who was dressed up by the sedan chair stepped forward to call the door first, but there was no response. The man waited for a while, and when he saw that no one answered, he went into the alley next to the house, and came out again a moment later.

"My lord, there is no one in the Yang family."

When the person in the sedan heard this, he reached out and lifted the small curtain curtain, revealing a still stunning elegant face. Zhan Liantai raised his eyes slightly, swept the plaque above the house, and the corners of his lips rose a little playfully.

"Willow?"

The nurse was puzzled: "According to the report of the spies, this is indeed the residence of Lord Yang after he returned to seclusion, as for why it is written in Liufu...... The subordinates don't understand either, maybe it's to hide people's eyes and ears? ”

"Zhangtai Willow, Zhangtai Willow, the past is green and now is ......"

Zhan Liantai lowered his eyes, as if to hide an unknown light in his eyes, and he lightly ordered: "Since you are not here, come back to visit another day." ”

When the sedan chair man got up, Zhan Liantai slowly opened the old folding fan in his hand, only to see that the fan was painted with willow branches.

Zhangtai Liu, Zhangtai Liu, is the past green and the present?

Even if the strip looks like it hangs down, it should be folded by the hands of others.
