Qianchen Volume: Concentrate on Cultivation and Hide Hatred, Exploring the Rivers and Lakes to Provoke Old Enemies Chapter 33 Secret Talks in Other Courtyards
Just when the proprietress was stunned, Gu Xing had followed the short man to a suburban courtyard. At this time, the surroundings were silent, and there was a night breeze blowing from time to time, which added a bit of depression. The man came to the back door of the courtyard and did not rush forward to knock on the door. Instead, he stood for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and after half a cup of tea, when Gu Xing was a little impatient, he punched the palm of his hand, as if he had made a lot of determination, and held the knocker lightly.
The short man knocked very regularly, three long and three short, two long and two short, and finally knocked lightly, and then he no longer knocked on the door, but took a few steps back, and waited respectfully. I don't know how long it took, but at last there was a sound of footsteps coming from inside the door, and the little man was overjoyed, as if he had thought of something, and reverted to respect, bowing his head and waiting for the person who opened the door.
When the door was opened, because the night was unknown, the light of the crescent moon was too faint, and Rao was shocked to wake up at night, and he didn't see anyone clearly. But judging from the figure, she looks like a woman. The short man didn't dare to raise his head since the woman appeared, and when he heard what the woman said, he only responded, so he followed, and closed the door with his backhand. Gu Xing listened to the footsteps of the two and walked away, and then the cat moved towards the wall.
When Gu Xing walked under the wall, he saw the decoration on the back door of the courtyard. The door is still a vermilion lacquered wooden door, but it is a little old, and it is not as often painted as the dignitaries and nobles, and it is always bright and beautiful. But it can also be seen that the owner of this house is not that ordinary person.
Because the knocker is made of fine bronze, and the carving is of a fierce beast. This Jairus is the second of the nine sons of the dragon, like a tiger and a leopard, if anyone provokes him, even if he is reincarnated, he will be found to seek revenge. That's why there is an idiom that you must repay. Of course, Gu Xing didn't understand the story, but he knew that most of the ordinary officials and eunuchs used lion door knockers, and it was too rare to use this kind of fierce beast.
At this time, the two of them had been away for a long time, Gu Xing stabilized his mind, jumped onto the wall, and leaned over to look around. Looking at the overgrown weeds in the courtyard, it doesn't look like it's inhabited, could it be that I was dazzled just now? Without much thought, after making sure that no one had found him, he quietly jumped down and walked down the corridor. After walking for a short time, a voice sounded, and Gu Xing hurriedly hid his figure.
Just after Gu Xing had just hidden, a group of men in animal skins walked quickly, and the leader also carried a longbow, which could open a thousand stones. Gu Xing waited for this group of people to walk by, and then slowly followed behind, since he would not be able to find the short man for a while, then this group of people might be able to provide some reference. Thinking of this, Gu Xing took out his short sword and marked it along the way, preparing a way back for his escape.
This group of men walked in the corridor for a long time, this courtyard seems to be small, but it is complicated to walk, it seems that no one leads the way, and they will definitely be trapped in it. Gu Xing remembered the Five Elements Bagua Array in the TV series in his previous life, and in his previous life, he laughed at the ancients for coaxing children, and when he really fell into it, he realized that there was really something going on, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.
After half a burnt incense, the group of men finally walked out of the corridor and suddenly became enlightened. I saw that the grassland in front of me was boundless, which was far from the landform of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but more like the outside of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The group of men did not stop, and walked straight to the grassland. Gu Xing didn't hesitate, and quickly followed. At this time, he can only rely on his own memories to survive.
After walking for another hour, he finally came to a tower. This tower has a total of three floors, which looks a little exquisite, but it is not as clever as the architecture of the Later Tang Dynasty, but more rugged. It's just that this tower is hidden deep in the grassland, and it can't be seen from a distance. The men pushed the door open and disappeared into the tower. Gu Xing hesitated for a moment and followed.
When Gu Xing walked into the tower, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. From the outside, the delicate but rugged tower looks like a beautiful interior, with gold murals and gemstone embellishments, as if it doesn't cost money. The group of men was gone, Gu Xing pulled his thoughts back from the dazzle, and slowly walked towards the depths. After a while, they came to a hidden door.
There were two people talking inside the door, one talking, the other listening, to be precise. I heard a delicate girl say in an unquestioning tone: "Everything is done? The other person hurriedly replied: "There is an internal response to Yichu, and the matter has been done." ”
"Very good, Huang Zhen, this matter is well done, count it as your great achievement, and when he is captured by the Tang Dynasty after the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, he will definitely add an official to you to the knighthood." After the woman finished speaking, the person named Huang Itch hurriedly said: "The villain does not ask for a reward, and it is a blessing for the villain to be loyal to the Lord." The woman did not speak, but heard the sound of a shallow taste of water. The yellow itch stopped talking, as if waiting for the woman's orders.
Gu Xing listened outside the door, and unconsciously touched the door. This sudden sound startled both people in the door. I heard the woman say, "Are you sure you don't have a tail?" Huang Yi was shaking like a sieve at this time, and stammered: "I stopped and walked all the way, and I didn't see anyone following me." The woman seemed to be angry, and said angrily: "If you don't go out to see, if you are followed, you will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to avoid future troubles." ”
Huang Yi was frightened, Gu Xing was also shocked when he heard the woman's words, and began to run back in a panic. The short man was originally blamed by the woman for being cowardly, but when he saw Gu Xing panicking in front of him, he quickened his pace and wanted to break the "tail" that came to the door. Gu Xing rushed out of the tower and ran towards the grassland from which he came. Xu hadn't walked through it just now, and the footprints were still new, so he lowered his head and followed the footprints all the way.
The short man saw that Gu Xing was running too fast, so he put down his hands like a running ox and rushed towards Gu Xing. Before, how dare Gu Xing look back, just run forward, and the people chasing behind him seemed to be getting closer and closer. Just when Gu Xing realized that he was about to be caught up, he saw the corridor appear in front of him. In a flash of inspiration, he used a short sword to scribble on the logo to confuse the public. He ran all the way down the mark when he came.
After running a stick of incense, the short man who was chasing after him had disappeared, Gu Xing expected that the man couldn't remember the way, so he came up with such a "clever trick", which seemed to have played a role, at least to get rid of the trouble in front of him. Just as he was about to wake up and stop to rest, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps. I only heard the man say: "Little slippery head, although I don't know the way, I know how to smell the fragrance." ”
Gu Xing hurriedly took a few steps back, turned his head to look at the person in front of him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, smell the fragrance and know women, I am not as good as Longyang." The muscles on the short man's yellow itchy face twitched slightly, and then he said viciously: "When you kid tastes the uncle's methods, you won't be so sharp anymore." After speaking, he pulled out an object similar to scissors from behind him and attacked Gu Xing.
Gu Xing couldn't figure out the number of ways the short man was itchy at this time, but judging from the way he did just now, it was not a good stubble. Thinking of this, he drew a short sword from his waist and greeted it. Before leaving, Mo Ye and the monk who did not understand it had an explanation, and the warrior should comprehend the true meaning from life and death, if he just learned some moves, it would be just a show, and he should not be real. Gu Xing moved the mind of "sharpening the knife" at this time, did not retreat but advanced, and slashed head-on in an open mountain style, wanting to stand and take the lead.
The man named Huang Itch seemed to have noticed it, raised the scissors to block Gu Xing's first blow, and his legs didn't stop, and his knees hit Gu Xing's chest. Although this Huang Itch is shorter than ordinary people, he is the same height as Gu Xing, and he does not suffer a loss when fighting. And with his rich experience in actual combat, Gu Xing, who has repeatedly made moves, has been constantly parrying. In the face of Huang Itch's knee attack, Gu knocked away the scissors and withdrew his hands, waiting for Huang Itch's knee with the tip of the knife.
Seeing this, Huang Qi could only withdraw the attack, holding the scissors with his left hand, picking up half a circle and striking at Gu Xing. This move came so quickly that Gu Xing didn't dare to take it hard, so he could only dodge and retreat. Huang Itch couldn't hit it, and it followed, like the poisonous scorpion, and the scissors clicked straight to Gu Xing's neck. Under this fierce offensive, Gu Xing's internal strength was stimulated again, and he quickly merged the warm current at the dantian into the hand holding the short sword, and with this force, he met it again.
Sure enough, the truth was practiced, and under the guidance of the two peak powerhouses, Gu Xing's moves were perfected, but there were no actual battles in the moves, and there was still a lot missing. When facing Nalan before, he also took the lead with the help of poison gas, and Nalan intended to catch cats and mice, so he was able to escape until now. Now that the person in front of him has moved his murderous intent, it seems that there is no distinction between life and death, and this "exchange" will not end.
Just when Gu Xing suddenly counterattacked, Huang Qi took out another ruler-like object from his waist. He also muttered in his mouth: "I actually forced the Sprinkler family to go out with the ruler, and sure enough, the hero came out of the boy." However, you can only live to this day. When the ruler was held in Huang Qi's hand, Gu Xing's offensive was quickly suppressed, and his neck was about to be snapped off by a pair of scissors.
When it was too late, Gu Xing's eyes rolled slightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly. Seeing this, Huang Yi didn't laugh angrily, and said, "Boy, if you can still laugh now, I will return to the west from you." Gu Xing used the broken sword to block Huang Qi's Ao Qi, and took out a pill from his arms, and still entered his mouth while Huang Qi was speaking. The yellow itch between the electric light and flint was unguarded, so he swallowed it.
Gu Xing took advantage of the hesitation of Huang Itch, took advantage of his strength to retreat, and said to him with a smile: "Do you know what you ate?" Is it sweet? Huang Yi was about to answer, when suddenly his hands twitched, and he fell to his knees with a thud. Gu Xing looked at Huang Itch who fell to the ground and said, "This medicine works so fast? Why didn't I find out when I tried the drug myself? Does medication vary from person to person? After saying that, he looked down at Huang Itch and watched him tremble on the ground.
Huang Qi's eyes were crooked at this time, and he said vaguely: "Ask the young man to raise his noble hand, and he will definitely repay him in the future." "Raise your hand? Springs in return? Didn't you just cut my neck? Why are you begging for mercy now? Gu Xing knew that this medicine would kill people for a while, so he deliberately teased him. Huang Qi was in extreme pain at this time, and continued, "Ask Shaoxia to give me the antidote, I am the queen of the Zhou Dynasty, and he will thank him again when the young man comes to the Hou Zhou." ”
Gu Xing pondered for a moment, then took out a wooden bottle from his sleeve, and took out a pill to feed Huang Qi to take. After a while, the appearance of the yellow itchy eyes and crooked mouth has improved, and the hands are no longer shaking.
