Volume 1 Sunrise and Setting in the West Chapter 16 Birth

"The breath of the true man is the heel, and the breath of the people is the throat."

The beginning of the [Taigu Yiqi Formula] is these two sentences, Qin Xiao looked at the second monk was confused, and looked back, the sentences in the book were also obscure, and he couldn't help frowning, and turned to the second page, but found that it was a figure of a person sitting cross-legged.

The person on the picture meditates in a strange posture, but the meridian acupuncture points are outlined on the body, and they are connected by black lines, which are thick and thin.

Qin Xiao looked at the text in front of him, and then combined with the pictures to think, he slowly understood.

It took me more than half an hour to understand that this was the method of breathing.

He didn't know why the mysterious man would give him the [Ancient Meaning Qi Technique] to let him practice, but the mysterious old woman saved him several times, and he was not only grateful to the old woman in his heart, but also in awe, thinking that since the other party let him practice, it would not harm him.

After understanding the meaning of the book, he sat cross-legged on his knees according to the method inside, put his hands in a half-ring posture, and breathed in.

The mysterious old woman told him to spare half an hour to practice every day, but he was afraid that there would not be enough time, and he didn't know how long it had been, but when he heard the sound of a rooster crowing, he opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside had been dark, and before he knew it, he had been meditating for at least two hours.

It is strange to say that he has not slept all night, and when he opens his eyes at this time, instead of feeling tired, he feels a little refreshed, and what is even more strange is that there is a warm breath in his chest.

It didn't take long for him to meditate before, and the warm breath suddenly appeared, and with the breath, the warm breath also spread along the meridians to the limbs around the body, and the whole body seemed to be bathed in warm sunlight, and it was the feeling of making people feel comfortable all over his body that made him indulge in it, and he didn't stop until he was woken up by the rooster.

As soon as these eyes opened, the warm feeling on Zhou's body quickly disappeared, and only the residual warmth in his chest remained.

Qin Xiao looked at the sky, and then put away the [Taigu Yi Qi Technique], and found a secret place in the house to hide, last night the ghost hand three were killed, although it was cleaned up, but the house has always been filled with the smell of blood, and at this moment, the smell of blood has dissipated a lot.

Ghost Hand Three was mistakenly thought by Zhen Yujiang that he had betrayed the Hou Mansion, so he sent someone to take his life, but Ghost Hand Three escaped.

The three ghost hands escaped death, Zhen Yujiang will definitely know, and it is very likely that he will send someone to search for the whereabouts of the three ghost hands.

The Zhen family is full of eyeliner in Zhen County, and when the ghost hand three returned to the city and even came to find trouble for themselves, they didn't know if they were seen, if they were found to be in Wood Lane, Zhen Yujiang might not let people secretly find them.

Qin Xiao knew that once Zhen Yujiang knew that he lived in Wood Lane, and the traces of Ghost Hand Three had also appeared in Wood Lane, then he would immediately involve himself in it.

He only hoped that the three traces of the ghost hand would be secret, and that no one would find out when he came to Wood Alley.

However, the third ghost hand has turned into blood and water, and even if Zhen Yujiang has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to find him again.

As soon as the sky was brighter, Qin Xiao had already left the courtyard gate, and saw that the oil shop of Mapo was open as always, and when he passed by the door, he saw Mapo bending over with a broom to sweep the floor, although Qin Xiao knew that Mapo would definitely ignore himself as before, but he still called "Mapo" over there.

In fact, as he expected, Mapo didn't seem to hear it, let alone pay attention to it.

Qin Xiao could only smile to himself, took a few steps forward, suddenly frowned, and retreated back to the oil shop, and then looked inside, Mapo was still sweeping the floor.

Looking at Mapo's back, Qin Xiao actually had a strange feeling.

Looking from behind, the back of this mapo is quite similar to the mysterious old woman last night.

Thinking about it, Qin Xiao only felt that his idea was really a little ridiculous.

Although the mysterious person last night was also an old woman, she was skilled in martial arts, and she was obviously a master of the world.

Ma Po is an old man who guards the oil shop, and before he moved to Wood Lane, Ma Po has lived in Wood Lane for several years.

This old man was dazzled and deaf, and a gust of wind could blow her down, although the back looked somewhat similar, but thinking of the ghostly figure of the mysterious old woman last night, linking the mapo in front of him with the mysterious old woman, Qin Xiao felt that he was really cranky.

Maybe they are all old people who are over the age of sixties, and their bodies are rickety, so the backs are a little similar.

He threw away this ridiculous thought, and on the way to the Yamen, he wondered whether to tell Han Duwei or Meng Zhutou what happened last night.

In the entire Turtle City, there were only those two people who could make Qin Xiao truly awe and trust.

Such a big thing happened last night, if he didn't say a word about the two of them, Qin Xiao only felt that something was wrong.

But thinking that the mysterious old woman had told her when she was leaving, she had to forget everything that happened, and the implication of that sentence was naturally to ask Qin Xiao not to reveal even a word to the outside world.

He was a little entangled in his heart, and when he arrived at the yamen, he made up his mind that since the mysterious old woman told him like that, it was better for him to rot this matter in his stomach.

After all, Ghost Hand San was a person from the Zhenhou Mansion, and the Zhenhou Mansion was eyeing the Duwei Mansion, Qin Xiao really didn't want Han Yunong and the others to get involved in this matter again, and he didn't want to bring any trouble to those two.

Before he entered the Jiazi prison, a person came over and saw Qin Xiao, and he had already shouted: "Qin Xiao, I'm looking for you." ”

Qin Xiao looked up and saw that it was Lu Hong, who was catching the head quickly, and arched his hand: "Lu catches the head." ”

Han Yunong is in charge of the Governor's Mansion, and under the Governor's Mansion, there are two shifts of horses and fast guards, and there are about 20 people in each of the two shifts.

The so-called fast horse is good at riding and shooting, and each person is equipped with a fast horse, and the fast pace is naturally no horse to match.

Because of this, Ma Kuai is usually responsible for the arrest of the entire Zhen County, while Bu Kuai is mainly responsible for the security and arrest of Turtle City.

In addition, the Du Wei Mansion is in charge of the prison, and there are jailers in the four character prisons of A, B, C, D, and only in terms of the A-character prison, in addition to Qin Xiao, there are nearly ten jailers who are responsible for guarding inside and outside the prison.

Meng Zimo and Lu Hong are the head catchers of Ma Kuai and Bu Kuai respectively.

The Governor's Mansion of Guicheng once became the lackey of the Zhenhou Mansion, and he acted according to the eyes of the Zhenhou Mansion, so the imperial court transferred Han Yunong to sit in the Governor's Mansion.

Han Yunong acted vigorously and resolutely, not only handled several major cases in a row, but also carried out a major rectification of the Governor's Mansion, many people were driven out of the Governor's Mansion, and a group of officials were re-selected, these officials were personally trained by Han Yunong, but they were also a group of elite soldiers.

Before Han Yunong came to Turtle City, Lu Hong was already the official of the Governor's Mansion, and he was very popular in Turtle City, and his ability was not weak, and he was good at swordsmanship, because he was really capable, so he was promoted by Han Yunong.

"The paperwork of Xing Cao should be given to you, that is, on the eighth day of the third month, the one named Wen Budao will be sent to Fenggan Mansion." Lu Hong doesn't smile on weekdays, pulling his face all day long, like everyone owes him money, and Qin Xiao rarely sees him laughing.

Qin Xiao immediately said: "I have received it." ”

"Then I'll pick someone up in two days." Lu Hong said: "Originally, I sent a few people to escort me over, but it just so happened that I went to Fenggan Mansion to have some business, so I took someone to escort me by the way." I just heard Niu Zhi say that Wen Budao doesn't seem to know that this case is going to be retried, and you go back and inform him, which also makes him a little prepared. ”

Qin Xiao said: "I'll go back and tell him." stepped forward and asked softly: "Lu Zhutou, isn't this case already decided, why do you want to retry it?" ”

"Let's just arrest people and guard prisoners, and ask so many irrelevant things to do?" Lu Hong frowned, thought of something, looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "The night before yesterday, you followed to Zhenhou Mansion, what happened?" Why did the Zhenhou Mansion simply let Meng Zhutou out? ”

"They framed Meng Zhutou, and later the misunderstanding became clear, so they naturally wanted to release him." Qin Xiao said: "Lord Du Wei didn't tell you? ”

Lu Hong was slightly embarrassed, but still asked, "What misunderstanding?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that they thought Meng Zhutou stole their things, but in the end the things were found, and the cleaners cleared themselves." Qin Xiao said: "Lord Duwei also said that this matter has passed, don't talk about it outside." ”

Lu Hong nodded, groaned slightly, thought of something, and asked, "By the way, how old are you this year?" What month was you born? ”

Qin Xiao was stunned, not understanding why Lu Hong suddenly asked about his age, but he still replied: "On the fifth day of the eighth month, there are still five months to turn sixteen." ”

"The fifth day of August? Sixteen? Lu Hong shook his head and said, "That's not right." ”

"Headcatcher, what's wrong?" Qin Xiao felt more and more strange.

Lu Hong said: "It's nothing, you go get busy first." Without saying much, he walked past Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao looked at Lu Hong's back and touched his head, but the second monk was confused.

When he arrived at Jiazijian, Niu Zhi had already cleaned up in the class room, and when he saw Qin Xiao coming in, he immediately poured a glass of water for Qin Xiao, put it down on the table with both hands, and then said: "Boss, Lu Zhutou came over just now and asked if we had received the paperwork for Wen Budao, and I said that I had already gotten it." ”

"I see him." Qin Xiao leaned back in his chair and stretched his legs out comfortably.

"Did he ask about your birthday?" Niu Zhi asked in a low voice.

Qin Xiao immediately sat up straight, stared at Niu Zhi's eyes and asked, "Did he ask you?" ”

"Asked." Niu Zhi had a disappointed expression: "It's a pity that mine doesn't match, I don't have that good luck." ”

"Good luck?" Qin Xiao was even more surprised: "What the hell is going on?" Why does Lu Zhutou know about our birthday? ”

Niu Zhi smiled mysteriously, and then approached Qin Xiao's ear and lowered his voice: "My cousin is on an errand in Hucao, I just heard yesterday that a few days ago, Hucao began to count the household registers, and more than a dozen people were looking for people in the mountains of household registers little by little. ”

"Looking for someone? Don't be verbose, to put it bluntly, what the hell is going on? Qin Xiao grabbed Niu Zhi's wrist: "Why did Hu Cao count the household registers, who are they looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for a man who was born in October and turns 17 this year." Niu Zhi was a little excited: "If you find the person that Lord County Shou said, and it is sure that he is ordered to find by the imperial court, that person will soar into the sky, and even the person who found him will be rewarded." ”
