Chapter 10: The Eve
"Wasted...... It is extremely difficult to practice ......" Li Ping, who has a secret book, feels fluttering when he walks, as if he has practiced peerless internal skills, and his body is as light as a swallow when he walks. www.biquge.info According to Li Ping's "common sense" in his previous life, it is extremely difficult to practice these four words, which are basically synonymous with peerless martial arts. With the addition of him crossing this golden finger, "extremely difficult to practice" may eventually evolve into extremely easy to practice. Thinking that one day he would enter the ranks of the pinnacle of martial arts, Li Ping's heart was hot, and it was no less than the boiling oil in the back kitchen of Baiyun Tower.
After Mr. Wang went to the front yard, Li Ping didn't have time to wait for the evening to rest, so he took three steps and made two steps back to his residence. There was no one in the residence, and all the guys were busy working in the Baiyun Building.
When he came to the head of the bed, Li Ping couldn't wait to take out the bamboo tube with the cheats in his arms with trembling hands. Pour out the rolls wrapped in wax paper and set aside. Take it to a brightly lit place and take a closer look at the bamboo tube. According to the correct way to save cheats, sometimes, the things that contain cheats have real cheats on them. The bamboo tube is yellowish and shiny, and some bamboo clothes have been worn off. The outer shell, the inner wall, and the bottom were all without any handwriting or patterns when Li carefully checked them little by little. When you touch it with your hands, you can start it with a smooth and unusually smooth look inside and out. It's like an ordinary bamboo tube. The bamboo tube is wet and does not react. Li Ping even rushed to the back kitchen, got wine and animal blood, and smeared them on bamboo tubes, and later even got some vinegar and wax on them, and after various knocks, there was still no more reaction. After almost deducing the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the poor bamboo tube, Li Ping reluctantly confirmed that this bamboo tube was indeed just an ordinary bamboo tube, which was only used to hold leather rolls.
As for the wax paper wrapped in the leather roll, Li Ping checked it repeatedly and finally determined that it was a relatively new piece of wax paper. The bamboo tube and wax paper have been confirmed, and Li Ping temporarily gave up the idea of clipping the real cheats. Turn your eyes to the leather roll.
Spread out the leather scroll, a pale cyan, less than two feet square, presented in front of Li Ping's eyes. This skin is very thin, there are pictures and words on one side, I don't know what kind of animal skin is made of, the start is warm, and the production age can not be seen.
Looking at the contents of it again, Li Ping sighed in his heart, it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a cheats as a draft. The person who makes the content seems to be casual and hurried, and the simple lines are hastily outlined in the naked human figure, and on the pattern, many very small circles are dense or sparse, distributed throughout the body. Several lines with different arrows, passing through small circles, spread over the body. I think it should be the route of the real qi.
There are four such human figures, on the right side of the scroll, arranged from top to bottom. It is clearly the front, back and two sides of a person. On the left side of the diagram is a large amount of text, which varies in size and is not a complete paragraph. It's a few words or a few words. Some of the words were also circled and marked, and I don't know if they were sketched by the author or added by later generations.
The patterns and words seem to be carved and written with a thin needle, and then attached to some kind of medicinal powder, which is not too full of sunlight, shining with silver light. Some of the words and figures have fallen off and are slightly mottled.
Except for the four pictures and the text next to them, the name and inscription of the cheats could not be found on the leather scroll, and there was no more information. If it weren't for Wang Qi solemnly giving him to himself, Li Ping really wouldn't have felt that this was a secret book, a secret book that could be compared with what Wang Qi said he had learned.
The thing similar to the draft in front of him completely broke Li Ping's impression of cheats, and the original expectations of this leather scroll in his heart were lowered a lot. "This thing, it's also a cheat? No wonder so few people practice. ”
"Li Ping, Li Ping, come to the lobby, Zhao Ye will let us go." The sound of Ringo calling could be heard in the patio.
Li didn't have time to look at the leather scroll carefully, so he packed the leather scroll as it was. He lowered his head and stuffed the bamboo tube and the acupoint diagram into his bed. Bending over, Li Ping hesitated, let the bamboo tube back into his arms, and only liberated the acupoint diagram under the bed. After hiding the two cheats separately, Li Ping tidied up his clothes and answered Brother Lin. Then he hurriedly ran towards Baiyun Tower.
Baiyun Building, lobby on the first floor.
Except for Mr. Wang, all the people in Baiyunlou were present, and the rare shopkeeper Yuan was also among them. After seeing Li Ping running from the backyard, he nodded to Zhao Tianyan and signaled that everyone was already together.
"Listen, in the afternoon, there are nobles coming to Baiyun Tower, and the second floor has been chartered by the Iron Sword Gate. No other guests are allowed to go upstairs, and you are not allowed to go upstairs without being summoned. The guests' horses and vehicles are under their own care, and you are not allowed to approach them. If anyone doesn't open their eyes, doesn't serve well, and provokes nobles, don't blame Tiejianmen for being unkind. If the service is good, after the guests leave, each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver. Zhao Tianyan looked at the guys in Baiyunlou and said a few prohibitions, and told everyone a few details, and then let everyone disperse.
"The fifth master will take you upstairs for a while."
On the second floor, an Iron Sword Gate gang came to Li Ping's side and bowed his head to him.
Li Ping looked at the Iron Sword Gate gang who bowed their heads and talked to him, and a sense of unreality filled his heart. The person in front of him obviously belonged to the core gang of the Iron Sword Sect, but now he was talking to himself like this. Remembering that some time ago, I discussed with Brother Lin the distant plan to enter the Iron Sword Gate to practice martial arts, and now it seems that in this society full of classes, it is inevitable that we will still have to go up. This Baiyun Tower, after all, is not a paradise, and you can't let yourself face the sea for the rest of your life, not to mention, the black hand has already stretched out to Baiyun Tower.
On the second floor, Wang Lizheng was drinking tea with Lu Youdao and Doctor Sun at the window, looking at the soup soup Hanjiang.
Seeing Li Ping come up, Wang Li put down the cup in his hand, stared into his eyes and said, "In your opinion, how is Qi'er's condition now?" ”
Li Ping saw the salute and replied truthfully: "Young Master Wang seems to be fine now. Appendectomy is not a major surgery, and it mainly depends on the recovery of the wound. Your medicine is truly a miracle, and the recovery from trauma is quick. Now it seems that the signs of wound infection are also very small, and it will take a few more days to finally reassure. ”
"In the past few days, I still have to worry about you to take care of Ju'er's side more. I have already said hello to Elder Zhao and Mr. Wang, and you don't need to do anything in the restaurant. You can take care of Ju'er completely, and Ju'er can't be fine. "After all, is it to call the young master, hearing Li Ping call the young master Wang, Wang Wei felt a little comfortable. In Li Ping's eyes, Wang Li can always see a sense of superiority looking down on the world. And this kind of vision is not the stupid and ignorant look down of those children of the family in the capital. I really don't know where the inexplicable sense of superiority of the young man in front of me comes from.
"Ju'er gave you the strength to do it?" Wang Li didn't wait for Li Ping's answer, and continued: "Practicing hard is indeed a good internal strength method. If you don't understand, just ask me, and you still need to recuperate. You go down first. ”
Li Ping was slightly stunned, and said in his heart, how can I come to ask you, I am afraid that I have been discussing with Wang Qi in Xiaolou for too long to delay Wang Qi's recovery, which will arouse the disgust of this big man. There was no greeting, or there was no greeting, Li Ping retired directly.
"This boy is funny, not like a fellow." After Li Ping left, Lu Youdao, who was on the other side of the table, put down the teacup and said with a smile.
"Of course it's funny, on March 17, in a fancy dress, he appeared in this town; On March 18, he begged for food in this Baiyun Tower, and then became a buddy here. Before that, no one had seen him within a radius of more than ten miles. It can be said that this person appeared out of thin air. The stories told by the storyteller on the first floor came from his mouth. can also cure colic, such a person, of course, can't be just a guy. If Li Ping was here, he would definitely be so shocked that his jaw dropped, and in just half a day and one night, Wang Li had already investigated so much information.
Wang Li picked up the teacup and slowly told Lu again about the information he had obtained in the morning. He knew that for Lu Youdao, who was in charge of the Lu family's intelligence system, this information was not a problem, maybe Lu Youdao already knew this earlier than him, and it was more comprehensive, so he simply said it directly.
"Oh, isn't that a pawn that was stuffed in? Or was it stuffed in by other forces? Hearing that even Wang Li didn't find out Li Ping's origin, Lu Youdao asked in surprise. No, no one would use such a clumsy method. Besides, with the appearance of this kid, not only does he not look like a buddy, but he doesn't even look like a chess piece. Soon, Lu said that he had reversed the speculation. Li Ping's dedication and professionalism in performing surgery on Wang Qi reminded Lu Youdao of a gelding of a certain tribe on the north side of the Ergun River. Of course, this ugly metaphor is not easy to talk to Wang Li, and Lu Youdao can only think about it in his heart.
"No matter how he came here, he can't make a big storm. Besides, since Wang Qi gave him all his strength, as long as he is not too stupid, it will not be easy to control him in the future. Let's add a variable to them. Wang Li spoke in a tone as if he were throwing a grain of rice at an ant.
"Sluggish? Isn't it amazing? Hearing Wang Li talking about martial arts, Lu Youdao's attention was immediately diverted.
"Well, not bad. is indeed unique, Ju'er has to be a mysterious guest in my family. It's easy to get started, but it's hard to get to great things. "At Wang Li's level, he thinks that it is difficult for him to have any martial arts in the world that can attract his attention.
"You say, what does the Zheng family mean this time, how come it is Old Man Xi?" Seeing that Wang Li had no intention of talking about that nonsense, Lu Youdao frowned slightly, and the slender paper rubbed against the edge of the teacup, and the topic shifted to the afternoon visitors. "Then Zheng Qin is indeed worthy of the title of Splendid Hand, and he does things without leakage. Not only did he entertain your fifth master Wang comfortably, but now he went to pick up the old man Naxi, and the host was the host. is also the number one person, why does my Lu family lack such talents. ”
"What else does it mean, it must be that your family has leaked the news, and the Zheng family knows that you and I will meet again. Deliberately asked Old Man Xi to come over and be disgusted. A mocking smile hung up on the corner of Wang Li's mouth.
"What do you mean by leaking news from my family, it's your Fifth Master Wang who acted wantonly and was known." Lu Youdao saw that Wang Li pushed the matter to himself, raised his head and glared at Wang Lidao. "However, this conference is indeed high enough, you are here, and Old Man Xi is also here. The rest of the families can also come up with it. “
"You always like to talk to me, it's not good, you have to change it." Wang Li secretly wondered, how did this guy survive in the Lu family until now. "When Ju'er's wound is almost over, I will take a boat straight to Xiangyang City and let Ju'er go to the city to recuperate. You're not going with us, are you? No matter how Wang Li's question sounded, it sounded like he was directly stating to Lu Youdao.
"Are you a? Your problem of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is not good, and you have to fix it. Lu Youdao's face sank, and then said, "Doctor Sun was invited for you by me thousands of miles away, and you haven't gone to recuperate your old lady's body yet, so you want to let me go?" ”
"Let's go, Divine Doctor, go back to Fanyang with me." Lu Youdao turned his face sideways, and said to Doctor Sun, who didn't seem to hear the two arguing next to him.
"Well, whatever you want, follow as you want." Wang Li gently wrinkled his eyebrows with his fingers, and said helplessly.
Inside the building, Lu Youdao showed a smug smile.
Outside the building, the weather is getting hot and humid, and rain is coming.
