Chapter X

Pearls walks among the mountain paths.

When she reached the fork in the road, she stopped, realizing that she had deliberately cut a mark on the tree with her sword.

She touched her head with her hand, and this was the third time. How do you turn left and turn right back here! I can't go back! It's been half a day's journey.

She counted the time when her husband often left, and this should be the place. Maybe you haven't found the right way yet, don't take the path for a while, go to the top of the mountain first, you can look around, and you will definitely be able to find the ghost valley.

She put down her baggage, took out a few cereals, and ate them.

The happiness of the morning had been drifting through her mind, and she imagined that she must feel that way. So when I walked, I didn't feel tired, and I couldn't wait to see Guiguzi all of a sudden.

She was eating when she noticed a pair of Mianqing staring at her.

Having grown up here since she was a child, she realized that she might have met a wolf.

She is not afraid of this, and it is easy to solve it with her own martial arts.

She continued to eat the bread, looking to the side with her sleepy eyes. She stopped there through the teeth of the bread, revealing her horror, it turned out to be a pack of wolves. Wolves are hard to mess with, they can eat tigers.

Pearls know that they can't come hard, go! She quickly grabbed her baggage and sword and ran back the way she came.

The wolves followed with a few wails and chased after them.

Pearls was running when she noticed an old mountaineer walking in front of her. So angry that she stomped her foot and stopped, turned around, and drew her sword in the face of the wolf, she couldn't let the wolf eat the old man!

"Look at how Zhu'er cleans you up today!" She shouted at the wolves.

The wolves didn't pounce, but stopped to look at a male wolf. The male wolf sat back, and the other seven or eight wolves surrounded Zhu'er in a semicircle, and they all sat down, but their eyes were fixed on Zhu'er.

Zhu'er had long heard from the people in the village that wolves were the most cunning. Especially the wolves, they all listen to the wolf king.

Zhu'er had already thought that the big wolf on the other side was the wolf king, and she calculated that she only needed three jumps to get close to him and kill him with a sword.

She turned around and looked, and the old mountain man must have run away. Unexpectedly, he had already walked behind him and stood there.

"Father-in-law, let's go! Didn't look at so many wolves! She shouted angrily.

"The old man has to hurry, this is the way!" The old man said calmly, not as frightened as she had imagined.

"Hurry? Aren't you afraid that the wolf will eat you? ”

"When the old man sees that you have a sword in your hand, he is not afraid!"

Zhu'er thought about it, don't bother with him anymore, he is counting on himself.

Zhu'er jumped up and ran towards the wolf king. But the wolf king, as if he knew that he was going to attack, retreated to the side before she could make a third leap.

She hurriedly turned around, for fear that the wolf next to her would attack the old man.

The wolf reverted to its original encirclement, and sat there confronting her.

Pearls tried to attack the other wolves a few more times, but it was still the same. She was a little sweaty, and she was tired from this toss. No wonder wolves are cunning, it seems to be true.

Zhu'er has no choice, and if she is in this auspicious stalemate, she will have no physical strength.

"Go back, I'll run away!" She didn't look back, for fear that the wolves would attack.

"If you can't, you run first!" The old man still spoke calmly.

"What?" When Zhu'er heard this, she became even more angry. "Not for you, I'm leaving early!

"Yes! The girl is kind, but not for you, I left early! ”

Zhu'er heard it, this is not appreciated! She withdrew her sword momentum and retreated to the old man's side.

"Let's go! Don't blame the girl, I'm missing your journey! "Zhu'er wants to scare the old man.

The old man raised his legs and walked away, as if there was nothing, and he whined twice at the wolf king.

As if he understood, the wolf king let out a long howl, turned around and ran, and the rest of them also ran into the mountains and forests.

Zhu'er was stunned, there was someone in the world who could communicate with wolves, and she hurriedly ran up.

"Old man, where are you going?"

"Guigu Ruins!"

"I went there too, but I got lost."

"The old man sees that you have a kind heart, so I'll take you for a ride!"

"How can you get a wolf to listen to you?" Pearls followed.

"I've been collecting medicine in the mountains all year round, and I'm already familiar with their language."

"Why didn't you let them go sooner? I'm exhausted. ”

"I want to see your swordsmanship." The old man didn't look back, and his tone was flat.

"You know swords, too? How's my swordsmanship? Zhu'er wanted the old man to praise a few words.

"There is no form and no god!"

"What then is God?" Zhu'er was not convinced, he dared to comment on his swordsmanship like this.

The old man smiled. "Ask your sir!"

Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was an old man who was definitely not a village man. "Do you know who my husband is?"

"It must be Iko." The old man laughed. "Don't ask again, you must be looking for him when you go to the Ghost Valley, right?"

Zhu'er was about to say more, but when she looked up, Guiguzi was standing at the fork in the road, and she rushed up excitedly.

Guiguzi was startled when he saw Zhu'er running from behind the old man, and then happily shouted Zhu'er's name and rushed up.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, completely desperate.

The old man laughed and walked over.

On the peak behind the cliff of Guigu, Guigu is concentrating on finding yams. Behind, Chang Sangjun looked at the mountain scenery with a complacent expression, and looked at the medicinal materials dug up by Guiguzi from time to time.

"Sir, according to Sir, Mr.'s student Bian Que has been rumored to be a miracle doctor in the world, can he really come back to life?"

"No, he can only cure people who don't deserve to die, how can there be a way to resurrect the dead!"

"How does Sir know that the grass in the mountains is medicine? There are all kinds of mountains and places, but there are pains, plagues, and diseases everywhere, so why doesn't the gentleman apply a wide range of prescriptions to relieve the pain of people in the world? ”

"It seems that your master Yin Zi is not mistaken, you are not only talented, but also kind-hearted." Chang Sangjun walked up a few steps, pulled up Guiguzi, and pointed to the place under the cliff. "What's that?"

Since entering this ghost valley, it is the first time to come here. Yesterday, Mr. asked him to pick up Huangyan Zhenren's friend Chang Sangjun, but he saw Zhu'er unexpectedly and forgot Mr. 's instructions. Chang Sangjun didn't mind, and passed on the ancient prescriptions and exclusive medical skills to him. This morning, Chang Sangjun took him up the mountain and told him that he was going to the strange land of Guigu, which must be here.

He looked below, and a large river came out of the Ghost Valley, twisted and turned, and finally disappeared into the valley in the distance. "It's a big river!"

"Take a closer look!" Chang Sangjun pushed him forward again.

Guigu arrived at the edge of the cliff, and the cliffs were deep on three sides, and he was a little panicked. Stabilize your mind a little, look closely, and suddenly open up.

"Yin-Yang Diagram!" He shouted.

The river below just walks through the yin and yang curves of the hills, and the cathode sunlight is not visible, and the anode light is bright.

Changsangjun smiled, and he held Guigu's shoulder. "Everything in the world is made of yang and yang, and so are people. If yin and yang are out of balance, they will get sick. Heaven and earth came into being from nothing, and all things began. Nuwa created people, Fuxi gossip, and has long integrated people with all things, yin and yang. People lose yin and yang, and all things can be made up, only because people have miscellaneous desires, it aggravates the imbalance, and the illness is deep and painful. ”

"What's going on with the yin-yang diagram here?" He looked at Chang Sangjun suspiciously.

"The Guigu Ruins in this Yunmeng Mountain are the blessed land of immortals, and the heavenly machine can only be shown to people in things. If there is a great wisdom and a great sage, he can see the wonderful reason. It seems that your heart has not yet arrived, and you still need to slow down. ”

Chang Sangjun turned around and went back to the herbs, looked at them, threw out a few of them, and put the rest in the stone recess.

"Guigu, the technique of healing the disease that I have taught you is to first use the true qi to travel in the patient's body, observe the yin and yang of the Tibetan Mansion, and then apply medicine to the symptoms according to the prescription. I asked you to pick these herbs for your use. ”

"Sir, Guigu is not sick!"

"Your true qi is still small, the so-called blessed land has been used for you to increase the grass of true qi, but you don't know it. Remember the herbs I have chosen, and take them regularly in the future, so that you will know. ”

Chang Sangjun took out a medicine spoon, smashed the grass, and got up to look at the ghost valley.

"What else is needed?"

"Water!"

"The water of dispensing is extremely important, and you don't know it when you're in it. It is better to go to the pool of water! ”

"What is the water of the upper pool?"

Changsang Jun said: "The water has not reached the ground, it is said to be on the pool, and the morning dew of bamboo, trees, flowers and plants is also." The water of the upper pool in the world is the best in Yunmeng Mountain. ”

He put the finely chopped herbs into the small pot he had taken out, poured the water from the gourd, and mixed well.

"Drink it and see!" Changsangjun handed the irrigation to Guigu.

Guigu looked at the irrigation suspiciously, and then at Changsangjun, and drank it in one gulp.

"Let's go back!"

The two walked slowly along the mountain road.

The more Guigu walked, the more energetic he felt, and a breath broke through the second pulse of Ren Du, and he swam freely every day. As soon as he lifted his breath, his body was light, and as soon as his feet were forced, he jumped out of the foot in one step.

Guigu ran happily and disappeared into the woods in a blink of an eye.

In the valley in the distance, a long roar from the ghost valley was heard.

Chang Sangjun smiled and looked at Yin Zi and Huang Yan Zhenren beside him. "If you want to learn the ability to govern the world, you need to understand the world!"

The two nodded.

Zhu'er was busy by the stove, stewing a pot of carp and cooking rice.

She happily set up the dishes and chopsticks and waited for everyone to come back for dinner.

She saw Mo Zhai sitting alone on the stone platform, so she ran over.

Zhu'er knows a lot of things from Mo Zhai. This morning, she saw Chang Sangjun leading the ghost zygote up the mountain to collect medicine, and the master and Hui Yan were meditating in the cave, so she pestered Mo Zhai to go fishing with her.

Along the way, she had to let Mo Zhai tell her something about what she had seen and heard.

Mo Zhai told her about the costumes, rituals and folk customs of various countries. He also told her the stories of Goujian, King of Yue, Wu Wangfucha and Xi Shi, and finally told her the interesting stories of today's candidates.

Zhu'er has been in a remote mountain village for a long time, and has never traveled far, so she has been to Yuyang County several times. So when I heard Mo Zhai's story, I was excited.

She wanted to ask something about Wei Guo and her father, but when she thought of her mother's entrustment, she still didn't say a word, she wanted to forget her hatred and not ask for glory in troubled times.

When he got behind Mo Zhai, he found that he was engrossed in drawing figures on the ground.

"Brother Mo, what are you drawing?"

Mozi raised his head, saw that it was Zhu'er, and smiled. "It's Zhu'er! Mo Zhai is still waiting for Zhu'er's fish to eat! Is it done? ”

"It's done, just wait for them!" Pearls looked at the ground again. "Zhu'er watched Brother Mo sketch on the ground, I don't know what I want?"

"Mo Zhai is designing tools, in the past two days, I have some insights in the debate with Guiguzi, and design some farm tools, so that people can save time and effort in farming in the future."

"I heard from Mr. that the siege equipment and chariots designed by Brother Mo are unparalleled in the world!"

"The sharper the weapon, the faster it hurts, the better the equipment, and the more diligent the battle, Mo Zhai will not do this again in the future!"

"Brother Mo, do you know who is the most capable of today's warriors?" Pearls still wanted to take a detour.

"Does Zhu'er also want to be a general? So far, there are no female generals! Mo Zhai laughed. As far as I know, there are many generals today, but there are not many who are full of names. There is Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is Wu Qi today! ”

The pearl smacked. "Where is he?"

"Wu was first in the state of Qi, then to the state of Wei, and finally in the state of Chu. Wu Qi used soldiers, and the candidates were famous, and there was Sun Wuzhi in the world. It's a pity..."

"What a pity?" Pearls asked urgently.

"It's a pity that he was killed by the arrows of the noble gate, and the car was cracked again!"

Pearl's expression was dumbfounded.

After a long time, she turned and ran to the bottom of the valley, her eyes full of tears.

Guigu shouted to Zhu'er in the night, he was worried about Zhu'er's safety, and he wanted to share her pain.

But where is she, in a huge valley?

The shouts of the ghost valley echoed in the valley.

He suddenly remembered that Zhu'er must be by the pool of relatives. It was where he had taken her in, and he told her the story that his husband had told him.

Sure enough, Zhu'er sat silently on the edge of the pool, staring blankly at the water in the pool.

Guigu approached her, sat down gently, and took Zhu'er in his arms.

"Pearl, don't be sad anymore! Niang and Guigu are both Zhu'er's closest people! ”

"Zhu'er hates this war-torn era, and Zhu'er hates those greedy nobles even more! I'm going to kill them! Zhu'er said fiercely, broke free from Guiguzi's hand, got up and left.

"Pearl!" Guigu hurriedly chased after him.

She went straight to her cave, drew her sword, and danced in the night.

Guiya stood helplessly aside.

He knew that Zhu'er was venting, and this troubled world had killed her last bit of hope. For more than ten years, every year after paying tribute to her mother, she looked into the distance for a long time. She had in her heart the little secret that her mother had left her when she died, and she must have wanted to confide it to her father. But now...

Zhu'er danced vigorously, every move was full of murderous intent, and every move was full of viciousness.

Eventually, she slowed down, and then collapsed to the ground.

Guiguzi picked her up in pain and walked back to the cave.

He snuggled her into his arms.
