Chapter 70: Qin Baopu
After a while, Ning Jiang came here with his sister and looked at Qian Tai, who had died. After observing the surroundings for a while, he immediately judged how the four ghosts attacked and killed Qian Tai, so he nodded. In terms of strength, Qin Mo, Qin Kan, Qin Wuyan, and Qin Xiaoya'er together are not the opponents of the three of them, but they made good use of the terrain and their respective stunts to divide and conquer the three masters, and Qian Tai was attacked and killed almost without even having room for a backhand.
After walking a little further, on the other side of the slope, there was a near-death roar.
Ning Jiang took his sister and climbed over the slope, surrounded by rocks, Nandu Ying Weng had a sword in the back of his head, lying on the ground, and at his heels, there were stone peaks.
Xiaomeng asked in surprise: "Brother, how was he killed?" Looking at it like this, he was clearly attacked from behind, but behind him was obviously a stone wall.
Ning Jiang said: "This is the hand of the little girl." ”
Xiaomeng said: "Little girl? Does she have the ability to be a diamond head? ”
"It's not!" Ning Jiang pointed to a stone hole diagonally above, "She's hiding here." ”
Xiao Meng looked at the stone hole and was even more surprised: "Here, I'm afraid there can only be one baby hidden at most, how did she hide it?" ”
Ning Jiang said: "Haven't you found it yet?" Their eldest has the method of daytime concealment, their second child, according to them, is proficient in water, the third child has the art of drilling into the ground, and the fourth sister has the art of disguise, what do you guess the little girl will do? ”
Little Dream opened her eyes wide...... What will be?
Ning Jiang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Xiaomeng, wait a minute, when I say the word 'yes', you will do it directly." ”
Xiaomeng: "Huh? "I don't understand.
Ning Jiang said: "Let's go!" "Go ahead
Xiaomeng said: "Brother, what were you talking about just now?" What is 'yes'? What's hands-on? With whom? Brother, you make it clear......" chased after my brother.
Around them, there are several tombstones, although it is already dawn, but the frost of last night has not yet melted, and the weather is unbearable. A luxurious cemetery is on their left, but the grass and trees in front of the garden are scattered, it is conceivable that the family who built this cemetery used to be a wealthy family, but now it must be dilapidated.
In front of them, the poisonous boy was holding Qin Ze hostage, and he had been forced to a corner, in front of the poisonous son, Qin Wuyan and Qin Xiaoya were watching him vigilantly, while Qin Mo and Qin Kan didn't know where they were hiding. However, it was precisely because Qin Mo and Qin Kan were nowhere to be found, that the poisonous son's eyes scanned his feet and surroundings from time to time, although there were only two female streams in front of him, he didn't dare to be careless at all.
"Get out of the way!" The poisonous boy shouted, and the poisonous knife was at Qin Ze's throat, wanting to force Qin Wuyan and Qin Xiaoya to get out of the way. However, Qin Wuyan and Qin Xiaoya were afraid that he would escape with their second brother, but how could they be willing to get out of the way?
Seeing the Ning Jiang brothers and sisters coming, the poisonous son's eyes shrank, his face became more solemn, but he was also full of more anger. At this moment, being forced to such a point, it's a big deal to kill hostages first and scatter in two.
Ning Jiang walked up to him, looked at him and said, "If you have something to say, as long as you let people go, we won't kill you and let you leave." ”
The poisonous boy sneered: "You guys get out of the way first, I'll let him go when I get out of the mountain." ”
Ning Jiang said: "How can we be sure that if we let you go, we will release you after you leave?" ”
The poisonous boy hid behind Qin Ze, only revealing half of his head, and continued to sneer at Ning Jiang: "How do I know that if I let him go, you will really let me go?" ”
Ning Jiang looked at him sincerely: "You don't believe us, and we don't believe in you, but this is not a solution, things have to be solved, do you say?" ”
Brush, a sword light penetrated from Ning Jiang's side like lightning, slashed through the shocking rainbow, and with a bang, it directly penetrated the brain case of the poisonous son, nailing the poisonous son directly to the stone wall.
This blow startled Qin Wuyan and Qin Xiaoya'er, Qin Mo appeared from a white light, Qin Kan came out of the soil, and they all looked at the poisonous boy who was nailed to death by Ning Xiaomeng's sword, and they couldn't speak for a while.
Obviously, Ning Jiang was still negotiating with the poisonous son, Ning Xiaomeng actually said that she would make a move, which was already very surprising to them, and what surprised them even more was that she actually succeeded?
Xiaomeng, who killed the poisonous boy with a sword, also opened his eyes wide......
***
After using Qin Ze like Sui Hou Zhu to detoxify, Ning Jiang first asked Qin Mo and others to treat Qin Ze's injuries.
Xiaomeng came to his side: "Brother, you already knew that it would become like this?" ”
Ning Jiang smiled: "Isn't this inevitable? The five ghosts of Qinchuan know everything about this place, and the poisonous prince will inevitably be forced to death by them, but the five of them are very righteous, as long as the poisonous prince hijacks the empty ghost, the four of them will have nothing to do with him, and the stalemate just now is simply unavoidable. ”
"But," Xiaomeng tilted his head, "why didn't that wicked man hide just now?" He should be able to dodge my sword, even if he can't dodge, he can block me as long as he moves the hostage, but he doesn't do anything, looking at his brother as if he is stupid? ”
Ning Jiang said: "Because I'm asking him!" The questions I asked him were too profound, and of course he had to think about such esoteric questions, and it was normal that he couldn't react. ”
That's it? Xiaomeng's eyes widened.
Although the question his brother asked him was indeed very profound...... But to that point?
On the other side, after the four ghosts of Qin Chuan treated Qin Ze, they searched the bodies of the poisonous son, Qian Tai and others according to Ning Jiang's instructions. After a while, Qin Kan took what he had found from them to Ning Jiang. Ning Jiang inspected those things one by one, and suddenly, picked up a small diamond-shaped crystal from the inside.
This Ling-shaped crystal, less than half an inch in length, was as red as blood. Ning Jiang looked at it and frowned tightly.
Qin Kan said: "This thing was found from the poisonous son, he hid it very secretly, sewn it in the corner of the cotton clothes, if it wasn't for the fourth sister's carefulness, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found it at all." ”
Ning Jiang was puzzled in his heart, just because, he vaguely remembered that in the life before he was reborn, he had found something similar on the body of a Zoroastrian leader who was killed by him, and he didn't know what this blood-colored crystal was for, however, in the poisonous son of Xiling, he found something similar to the Zoroastrian leader, but it still aroused his vigilance.
He looked at Qin Kan: "Can you ask the faceless girl to do me a favor?" He told the matter, and Qin Kan went to talk to Qin Wuyan.
By noon, Qin Ze finally woke up. The five ghosts of Qin Chuan came together to thank Ning Jiang, after all, if it weren't for the help of Ning Jiang and Ning Xiaomeng's brother and sister, Qin Wuyan and Qin Xiaoya'er would have been poisoned and died, and Qin Ze wouldn't want to save him from the hands of the poisonous son.
Ning Jiang got up and said: "A few are polite, I just happened to meet him, if it weren't for the Bamboo Flower Gang also having bad intentions towards my brother and sister, my brother and sister probably wouldn't have interfered in this matter." He also said: "I am also quite curious about that senior Qin, I wonder if a few of them can be introduced on their behalf?" ”
Qin Mo said: "Actually, we have already got in touch with our father-in-law, and my father-in-law also has the heart to see Brother and Sister Ling. ”
Ning Jiang arched his hand and said: "Then there will be labor to lead the way." ”
At that moment, Ning Jiang followed the five ghosts of Qinchuan into the depths of the cemetery, turning seven and eight turns, one came to the deepest part of the stone twilight, the five ghosts scattered, I don't know what they did, the stone twilight suddenly separated.
Qin Wuyan appeared in front of them again, and Ying Ying saluted: "Two please!" He led them down the exposed stone steps.
The Ning Jiang brothers and sisters followed behind her, and Xiaomeng looked left and right curiously. In this way, all the way to the depths of the earth, this is actually an elaborate underground palace.
Soon, they saw an old man here. The surrounding light is dark, although there is a fire rising, but there are many places that appear dark, the soil and stone is very dry, of course, like this kind of cemetery, originally selected in the place where the soil and stone are dry.
The old man was in a wheelchair, drooping, and even smelled of decay. It is conceivable that even this time, if he gets rid of the enemy who came to him, he is afraid that he will not live long.
Qin Wuyan introduced: "Father-in-law, this is the son of Tongzhou Xie Yuan Ningjiang. He said: "Ning Gongzi, this is my father-in-law!" ”
Ning Jiang stepped forward and arched his hand: "Xiaosheng Ningjiang, I've seen the old-timers!" ”
The old man also looked at the Ning Jiang brothers and sisters in surprise, he really didn't expect that the teenagers and girls who assisted him in a few righteous sons and daughters, the big drug boys, would be so young, this girl, I'm afraid she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, right? According to what Wuyan said, her swordsmanship is not even an opponent of Nandu Ying Weng and "Chengtian Bird" Qian Tai?
And this young man, I'm afraid he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, so young, he is already the solution of a state?
He looked at Ning Jiang and said, "Old man Qin Baopu, thank you two for your help this time." "Let Qin Wuyan go and make tea.
Qin Wuyan entered a side room of the underground mausoleum palace, and when he turned out, he had already changed his appearance, just now she was still an ordinary folk girl, but at this moment she was dressed as a dancing girl, wearing colorful clothes, with her head in a flying bun, and even her appearance had changed, with a peach cheek and an apricot face, which was completely different from just now.
Ning Jiang and Qin Baopu sat across the table, and Qin Wuyan knelt beside them softly, making tea for them.
Ning Jiang looked at Qin Baopu: "The predecessor is a member of the Daomen?" He believes that the name "Qin Baopu" is definitely not his real name, and the word "Baopu" comes from "Lao Tzu" in "Seeing Su Baopu, Less Selfishness and Less Desire", so he asked.
Qin hugged Pu and said: "Childe also has a study of "Lao Tzu"? I thought that people in Confucianism had always only read the Four Books and the Five Classics. ”
Ning Jiang said with a smile: "Xiaosheng also has a lot of interest in Taoist classics, and he also asks his seniors for advice." ”
Qin Baopu said: "Don't dare to give advice, if the son asks, the old man can discuss a thing or two with the son." ”
Ning Jiang said: "Taoism has clouds: the god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanqi. The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth......"
***
In the depths of the mausoleum, there was silence, only the voices of old men and young men talking, one after another.
At the stone table, first Qin Wuyan, while making tea for them, said something she couldn't understand at all, after a long time, she really couldn't hold on, and she was replaced by Qin Xiaoya'er, and then changed to Xiaomeng. In the end, even Xiaomeng left his brother and played with Xiaoyaer.
Occasionally, Qin Mo, Qin Kan and others would pass by them, and they knew every word they said, and when they were combined, it was like a book from heaven.
Of course, it's no wonder that they are really Taoist things, starting from their ancestor Lao Tzu, they are accustomed to using hidden words, and later Taoism slowly developed Taoism, and each Taoist book is for fear that others can understand it, how difficult it is.
What really surprised them was that the young man was able to talk to their stepfather for so long.
After all, in their concept, their stepfather can be regarded as a pedantic and omniscient. However, they clearly saw that when it came to the back, many times, it was the young man who was talking, and their father-in-law was listening attentively, occasionally showing a moving expression, as if the young man was saying something he had never thought of before.
In this way, the two talked for a whole day, and Qin Baopu asked Qin Wuyan and Qin Xiaoya to clean up the empty house and let the brother and sister live temporarily.
Qin Mo came to Qin Baopu's side and said, "Father-in-law......"
Qin Baopu was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at Ning Jiang's departing back, and sighed: "Those who know don't teach with words, and those who know don't use books to collect books...... This son is the dragon and phoenix among people. ”
That night, Qin Baopu called Qin Chuan Wuyi. The fire crackled beside him, and he brushed his long beard and groaned.
Qin Mo said: "Father-in-law? ”
Qin Baopu looked at them and said: "I'm old, I can't live long, this time an enemy came to the door, I drove you down the mountain, I really don't want you to die here with me, I don't want you to refuse to leave, almost affected by me." However, if you continue to stay in the Bishan area, it is impossible for you to get ahead after all, but what the old man taught you is not a dignified way, in the eyes of Confucianism and Taoism, it is the lower ninth rate, and in the eyes of the big sect, it is the left way. ”
The five righteousness bowed down together. Qin Mo said: "The five of us are all abandoned orphans, if it wasn't for our father-in-law, we would have died in the wilderness. Whether it's the lower ninth rate, or the left way, if it weren't for our father-in-law teaching us such the ability to make a living, how would we be able to talk until now? ”
Qin Baopu sighed: "However, if you go down like this, it is not a way after all, whether it is robbing tombs or pits, it is a thing that hurts nature and reason after all, and it is definitely not long-lasting." I look at Nan Ning Gongzi, a person with great ambitions, and he also attaches great importance to your respective skills, and has no disdain at all, and intends to let you follow him, are you willing? ”
Wuyi glanced at each other, they knew that Ning Jiang was now Xie Yuan, even if he couldn't get into the Jinshi in the future, he would definitely be able to be an official in the future, and with Ning Jiang, they would be able to get out of the lower nine streams and enter the White Dao. What's more, with the vision of the righteous father, they all take such a fancy to the young man, and it can be seen that Xie Yuan is definitely not the end of the young man.
Learning to become a martial artist, goods and the emperor's family, for the world's people who practice literature and martial arts, is still the main ambition, but they also know that they are the ninth rate, is the side of the door, if you can't follow a good owner, it is difficult to have a future in a lifetime. Since the stepfather has this explanation, they are naturally willing.
At that moment, Qin Baopu asked Qin Wuyan and Qin Xiaoya to invite the Ningjiang brothers and sisters, and Wuyi bowed down in front of Ningjiang together.
