Lu Xiaoxian smiled bitterly, if Jiang Yuqiao was there, Ying'er would ensure that he would be obedient. It's good now, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.

Thinking of Jiang Yuqiao, Lu Xiaoxian turned his head to Uncle Hai and asked, "Uncle Hai, is it time for my father-in-law to arrive?" ”

After being in Luzhou for such a long time, Lu Xiaoxian didn't make any moves, except for knowing himself and his opponent, and more importantly, waiting for Jiang Yuqiao's arrival.

Uncle Hai shook his head: "How can it be so fast, Luzhou to Fulong Island thousands of miles, this time, why will it take three or four months!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "My father-in-law has been away for so long, I will definitely miss Gu'er, maybe I am in a hurry, and I will be able to rush back in more than two months!" ”

"It's okay if you don't mention Gu'er, I'll be angry when I mention it!" Jiang Xiaotong said with a calm face, "Gu'er is a beggar and rolls like a monkey all day long, dirty, what kind of heart do you have?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked aggrieved: "You wronged me, why did I let Gu'er be a beggar?" Now that he has grown up and has his own opinions, how can I stop him! ”

……

Yan Gu held a tender grass in his mouth, and watched the passers-by pass by with a blank expression.

"Ahh Yan Gu sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said to himself, "Could it be that Brother Xiaoxian is talking to me again?" ”

Thinking of Lu Xiaoxian, Yan Gu couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Boss! Here we go! Several figures rushed towards Yan Valley.

Yan Gu raised his head, saw the person who was coming, restrained his smile, stood up lazily, and said lightly: "Tie Dan, dog leftovers, what's the news?" ”

Listening to Yan Gu's question, Tie Dan's dirty face showed an embarrassed expression: "Boss, until now...... There's not much news yet! ”

Yan Gu's face sank after hearing this: "Could it be that I'm lazy again, I don't want to eat today, right?" ”

When Tie Dan heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly swore an oath: "Boss, if there is a lazy one in my group, let us all become life pickers!" ”

Yan Gu knew that Tie Dan was not lying.

Becoming a Monster is the most powerful oath among beggars, and they usually swear that they will not talk about Monsters.

The creatures that Tie Dan is talking about are some vicious and vicious beggars who, in order to achieve the purpose of cheating people out of money, seize normal living people, especially children, and use knives and axes to cut them and other methods to turn them into strangely shaped monsters with disabilities or a combination of humans and beasts. All kinds of "human dogs", "human bears" and strangely shaped disabled people formed by "harvesting and cutting" have become living props for beggars to solicit money and defraud them. Under the guise of winning the sympathy of the world, or by soliciting a large amount of money from passers-by, this is the most tragic fate of beggars.

"What about you?" Yan Gu no longer paid attention to the iron egg and looked at the dog left.

Gou Yu and Tie Dan are similar in age, and they are obviously more stable and cunning than Tie Dan, and he said unhurriedly: "Boss, we got two pieces of news. ”

"Tell me about it!" Yan Gu said with interest.

"An hour ago, Liu Juren went to Miss Caiyun's house, and he hasn't come out until now! Half an hour ago, Tian Changshi entered the Liu Ji porcelain shop and asked the shopkeeper Liu for a white ground brown porcelain vase. According to Shopkeeper Liu, this is handed down from the Han Dynasty! ”

After finishing speaking, Gou Yu quietly glanced at Yan Gu, a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing whether this news would be useful to the boss.

Yan Gu listened, nodded with satisfaction, and patted the dog on the shoulder: "Yes, go and tell your group of people that the boss will reward each of them with a roast chicken today!" ”

"Hey! Ay! When the dog heard this, his face lit up with excitement, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Tie Dan looked at it from the side, his face a little gloomy.

Yan Gu took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, counted out twenty Wen and handed it to the dog: "This is the boss's reward for you!" ”

"Boss, this ......" Gou Yu hesitated a little.

It's not that Gou Yu hasn't received a reward from Yan Gu, on the contrary, plus this time, he has accepted Yan Gu's reward for the eighth time in a month, and there are two hundred Wen before and after.

Yan Gu's eyes widened, and Gou Yu immediately panicked.

"Thank you, Boss!" Gou Yu hurriedly took the copper coin, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss, before dark, I promise to find out one or two more pieces of news!" ”

Yan Gu said with a big grin: "You know, the boss is not short of money, and if there is news, he can use it for money!" ”

As he spoke, Yan Gu glanced at the depressed iron egg: "Why are you still stunned, it's still early after dark, do you like to eat nests?" ”

Tie Dan stomped his feet: "Boss, if you can't find out the news today, my group won't sleep, even if you dig until dawn, you will dig out the news for the boss!" ”

"Go ahead!" Yan Gu waved his hand at the two.

The two turned and left.

Looking at the backs of the iron egg and the dog, Yan Gu secretly rejoiced that his choice was right.

Tie Dan and Gou Yu are both fourteen or fifteen years old, and they and the young beggars under their management call Yan Gu the boss, which makes him feel a sense of accomplishment.

Yan Gu felt that being a beggar turned out to be a very interesting thing, at least now he could help Brother Xiaoxian find out a lot of news, he didn't want to let Brother Xiaoxian support himself in vain.

The two carriages came slowly and stopped at the gate of the city.

Yan Gu stretched out his arms and was about to stretch, but suddenly stopped moving. A middle-aged man got out of the carriage in front of him, which attracted Yan Gu's attention.

"Why did he come to Luzhou?" Yan Gu muttered to himself.

Obviously, Yan Gu let this person know.

The man didn't notice Yan Gu, but got into a carriage behind him, and helped a white-bearded old man down from the carriage.

Seeing this white-bearded old man again, Yan Gu couldn't help but rejoice in his heart: "I was able to find Luzhou, and Brother Xiaoxian was completely entangled by him!" ”

Happy to be happy, Yan Gu still hurriedly greeted the two.

……

"What? Hua Langzhong and Hua Shenxian arrived in Luzhou? Listening to Uncle Hai's report, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be stunned.

Lu Xiaoxian left Chang'an in a hurry, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to Hua Shenxian at all. In order not to disturb Hua Langzhong. Now, they have traveled thousands of miles to Luzhou, and they have brought Lu Wuflaw and Lin Xuan with them.

"That's right, Yan Gu met them at the East City Gate and took them back to the house!" Uncle Hai nodded.

"Xiao Xian, what's going on with this Hua Immortal?" Wei Xianyun asked puzzled.

Lu Xiaoxian did not hide it, and told Wei Xianyun in detail about how he asked for Hua Shenxian to help Jiang Xiaotong detoxify.

"Phaseless?" Rao is Wei Xianyun is familiar with ancient books, and he has never heard of this statement, he asked, "What are you going to do, how to settle them?" ”

"Anyway, Hua Shenxian is kind to me and Xiaotong." Lu Xiaoxian smiled bitterly, "The situation in Luzhou is extremely dangerous, I must persuade them to return to Chang'an, no matter what, I can't stay here, in case I affect them, then my sin will be great." ”

"That's right!" Wei Xianyun got up and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you and try to persuade them to go back." ”

In the living room, Jiang Xiaotong was drinking tea with Hua Shenxian, Hua Yunfeng stood respectfully beside his father, Hua Shenxian didn't speak, he didn't dare to sit down at all.

Lu Xiaoxian and Wei Xianyun walked into the room, Hua Shenxian stood up and said loudly: "Your kid's words don't count, how did you promise me in the first place, have you forgotten?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked embarrassed: "Hua Shenxian, listen to my explanation!" ”

"No need to explain!" Hua Shenxian waved his hand and stared at Lu Xiaoxian carefully.

Lu Xiaoxian was at a loss, Hua Shenxian retracted his gaze, laughed and said, "It's okay, your current situation is not good, it's only temporary!" I came to Luzhou just to see what changes you will have after that. ”

"Hua Shenxian, listen to me!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a serious face, "You can't stay here, you have to go back to Chang'an!" ”

Hua Shenxian shook his head and said, "I'm already here, how can you drive me away?" Besides, your physiognomy has changed compared to Chang'an, I have to keep an eye on you, just live in Luzhou and not leave! ”

Seeing that Immortal Hua couldn't listen to his words, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be anxious: "It's dangerous here, do you know?" ”

Jiang Xiaotong hurriedly persuaded: "Xiaoxian, if you have something to say, don't get angry." ”

Lu Xiaoxian knew that he was a little out of shape, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Hua Shenxian, it's not that I won't keep you!" You're kind to me, I don't want you to give your life here! ”

Wei Xianyun suddenly asked on the side: "Immortal Hua, you said that Xiao Xian is a faceless person, why did you see that his face has changed just now?" ”

"Do you know what it means to be a person without a phase?" Hua Shenxian glanced at Wei Xianyun with disdain, "A faceless person is not faceless, otherwise wouldn't he become a faceless person?" ”

Wei Xianyun was not angry, and humbly arched his hand: "Please ask Immortal Hua, what is Wuxiang." ”

Wei Xianyun spoke very politely, and Hua Shenxian no longer spoke sarcastically, and said patiently: "Actually, everyone is born with two kinds of appearances, one is the appearance carried by the skin, commonly known as the face. There is also a kind of appearance that is hidden outside of the face, which is called the true appearance. The physiognomy can be changed, but the true face cannot be changed, and it follows for a lifetime. Ordinary people show people their faces, but they only see their faces, how can they see accurately? ”

Wei Xianyun said: "What does Hua Shenxian mean is that he can only see his face without appearance, but he can't see his true appearance clearly?" ”

"Teachable!" Hua Shenxian nodded appreciatively, "Xiao Xian is a faceless person, the first time I met him, there was a layer of fog outside his face. Now, this fog is starting to gradually move down, getting lighter and lighter above, thicker and thicker below, isn't this a change? ”

"Is there anything special about this change?" Wei Xianyun seemed interested.

"Do you know "Zhou Yi"?" Hua Shenxian asked suddenly.

"Zhou Yi?" Wei Xianyun nodded: "I know a little bit about it!" ”

"What is the meaning of the first nine hexagrams?" Hua Shenxian asked again.

Wei Xianyun was shocked in his heart and said: "Don't use the hidden dragon!" ”

In "Zhou Yi", the hidden dragon is to hide the vitality and talent appropriately; Do not use means don't use. It means to avoid confrontation, and to try to avoid confrontation when encountered.

"That's right, it's the hidden dragon that doesn't use it. You know what I mean, right? Hua Shenxian said proudly.

Wei Xianyun lowered his head and pondered, speechless for a long time.
