Chapter 105: Saving Your Life
Yi Xingchen turned his head and saw that it was a thin middle-aged man, wiping the table hard. He said, "Can you invite him to come?" There's something I want to ask him. β
The guy hurriedly agreed, went over to greet the thin middle-aged man, and told him, Dr. Xie hurriedly took the towel, accompanied by a smiling face, nodded and said to Xingchen: "Guest officer, are you looking for me?" β
Yi Xingchen nodded: "I heard that you still sell tea, may I ask, is there any old tea from Lotus Mountain in the next year?" β
The smile on Dr. Xie's face froze for a moment, and he casually looked Yi Xingchen up and down, and immediately, he smiled again, and lowered his voice and said, "Yes, the old tea that has been separated for three years, if the guest officer wants it, I don't know what price I can give?" β
"Three hundred and sixty-five wen for one penny."
Dr. Xie suddenly had a smile on his face, and while wiping the table with a rag, he approached Yi Xingchen under the pretext of approaching Yi Xingchen and whispered, "Your Excellency must be Yi Gongzi, right?" Hall Master Li has explained, I don't know what the son commanded? β
"I want to borrow a hundred martial arts disciples from him to do my reception, tomorrow I have to do something, there may be risks, I am worried that I will be outnumbered in the fight, so I want to ask him to send someone to help me, under normal circumstances, I will not use it, in case of danger, I will send a signal to ask for assistance, I don't know if it is possible."
Dr. Xie nodded, lowered his voice and said, "I'll report to Hall Master Li immediately, and after he makes a decision, I'll tell you, can you ask Gongzi to come tomorrow morning?" I'll tell you the results tomorrow morning. β
Yi Xingchen nodded and said, "You tell Hall Master Li by the way." The people I'm going to deal with are the people of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect. β
Upon hearing this, Dr. Xie's eyes flashed with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Heavenly Tribulation Sect, these dog thieves. Having killed so many of our brothers, if Gongzi borrowed someone to deal with them, Hall Master Li would definitely not have a second word, I believe. β
"Thank you very much, I just need someone to help me take care of it, and I don't need you to interfere in other things. This is my personal grudge against the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, and I don't want others to interfere with your grudge against a Heavenly Tribulation Sect disciple. Therefore, please respond, because I am afraid that the other party will not be moral. Someone to bully the widow, so I laid a foreshadowing like this, just in case. β
Dr. Tea looked Yi Xingchen's thin body up and down, and said in a low voice, "Childe doesn't seem to know martial arts. Do you want to tell the hall master to ask the master to go with the son so that you can help? β
Yi Xingchen shook his head and said: "I have already found a helper, as long as it is a fair battle, I have the confidence to win, I am afraid that he will have an ambush, so I want you to help make a response, in case of accidents, I hope I don't have to use your strength." β
Dr. Tea nodded and said, "I see." Yi Gongzi rest assured, I will report to Hall Master Li as soon as possible and call you back tomorrow. β
Let's talk about it. Dr. Tea said: "Slow use of the guest officer!" Then he turned and walked away.
Yi Xingchen leisurely finished drinking a cup of tea, then got up and walked out of the teahouse.
Doctor Yi Xingchen walked to Haichuan Pharmacy, he wanted to see if Mei Lengxiang had come back. If Mei Lengxiang assists him and protects himself secretly, then his heart will be much more steady.
Unfortunately, he stepped into the pharmacy. But I didn't see Mei Lengxiang's pretty figure. Tang Xiaoqi jumped up and down in front of him like a little rabbit, looked up and said, "Brother Hexagram." You're not going to come to Sister Meizi again, are you? Sister Meizi didn't come back, and my uncle was going crazy, but she didn't say where she went, and she was thinking about asking you to help calculate a hexagram to see if he was in danger? β
Huang Langzhong was treating the patient, and when he heard this, he nodded, and smiled at Yi Xingchen, which seemed to mean that what Tang Xiaoqi said was indeed the truth, and he wanted to ask Yi Xingchen to calculate it.
Yi Xingchen was also worried, where did Mei Lengxiang go, and was there any danger? So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do a hexagram." β
So Yi Xingchen took out a small bag of rice for fortune-telling from his arms and put it on the counter, and after Tang Xiaoqi prayed silently, he took three handfuls of rice. Yi Xingchen counted the number, plus the hour, and became a hexagram is "Zetian Hexagram", the upper hexagram is the Xunmu hexagram, and the lower hexagram is the Qianjin hexagram. The moving line is on the upper line, that is, the sixth line.
After the split, the representative object is the gold exchange hexagram, and the lower and upper hexagrams representing the process and the change hexagram representing the result are all dry gold hexagrams. In other words, all five hexagrams are gold.
Tang Xiaoqi asked the colon: "Brother Hexagram, how is it?" β
Huang Langzhong was also paying attention on the side, and when he saw that the hexagram had been completed, he asked the patient to wait a while, and walked over to look at Yi Xingchen. Yi Xingchen looked at the backyard, and then walked quickly to the backyard, and Tang Xiaoqi also followed to the backyard nervously.
Yi Xingchen stopped when he saw that no one was there, and said in a low voice: "From the hexagram, it shows that Sister Meizi is fighting with people, and there is more than one place, but the result is the hexagram of harmony, that is, she is not in danger and is very safe." Presumably, she secretly attacked and took the initiative, so you don't have to worry. β
Huang Langzhong nodded, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was still full of confidence in Yi Xingchen's ability to calculate hexagrams, plus they also had great confidence in Mei Lengxiang's martial arts, so they believed that Yi Xingchen was right, Mei Lengxiang should be in no danger.
Tang Xiaoqi's eyes widened: "Did Sister Meizi fight with someone?" What's going on? β
Because Mei Lengxiang went out and didn't tell Tang Xiaoqi, and Tang Xiaoqi didn't know about the grievances between Mei Lengxiang and the White Lotus Sect, so he didn't know that Mei Lengxiang actually went to the White Lotus Sect for revenge.
Huang Langzhong said: "Your Sister Meizi is fine, you don't have to worry, and don't ask more." Then he thanked Yi Xingchen and walked quickly back to the front hall of the pharmacy, and there were only Yi Xingchen and Tang Xiaoqi in the backyard.
Tang Xiaoqi pouted, because her uncle didn't let her ask again, so it was not easy to ask, just looked at Yi Xingchen.
Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "Do you remember the Yunshan Temple we went to?" β
Tang Xiaoqi said: "Remember, what's wrong?" β
"Where else do I want to go. I always feel that those twenty or thirty old men have disappeared magically, unusual, I want to find out again, can you go with me? You have high martial arts, and when the time comes, you can protect me! β
Yi Xingchen came to Haichuan Pharmacy to actually look for Mei Lengxiang. Let Mei Lengxiang secretly protect himself, but Mei Lengxiang is not here now, and he is in a hurry to investigate. So, I had to settle for the next best thing and ask this little girl to be my bodyguard. Although her martial arts are far inferior to Mei Lengxiang, she is still very good, better than being alone.
Tang Xiaoqi was happy when she heard it, and suddenly felt that she was much taller, and said with a smile: "Okay." Brother Hexagram, you spoke. Of course I'll help you. With me here, absolutely no one can hurt you, don't worry, when will you go? β
"Tomorrow morning."
"Okay. Do you have any plans? β
Yi Xingchen lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to pretend to be a member of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect to sneak in and find out, you pretend to be a pilgrim and give alms in the Taoist temple, and I will give you the money for the alms." If I'm in danger, you can save me. β
Yi Xingchen knew that Tang Xiaoqi didn't have much money, so he paid for the donation himself. He is now a captain of the Jinyi Guard, with a monthly salary, and several bounties have been paid during this time. So, money is no longer a big problem for him.
Tang Xiaoqi nodded and thought about it. He took out a small bamboo flute from his pocket, handed it to him, and said, "This is for you, if there is danger, you can take it in your mouth and blow it vigorously, the sound is very loud, and I will know where you are." I'll come and save you. This is more effective than shouting at your loud voice. β
Yi Xingchen was very happy to take it. Then he asked, "Will you be transfigured?" β
"Absolutely! Transfiguration is a necessary skill for walking the rivers and lakes, and my master taught me before I went down the mountain. How could I not? It's just that I've only scratched the surface. Why do you ask this? β
"Haven't we been to Yunshan Temple? I'm worried that they'll recognize me, because I'm going to pretend to be their person, and if you can help me with my appearance, you won't be able to see the flaws. β
"Do they know the people you're pretending to be?"
"I don't know."
"That's it. As long as it's not the same as what you used to do. β
"Yes, yes, but you can't tell that you've done it."
"Of course, you come with me."
Tang Xiaoqi took Yi Xingchen back to her boudoir and closed the door. Tang Xiaoqi took out two bottles from a box, looked at them, and then, took a tea bowl, put the medicinal powder in a bottle into it, poured some water and stirred, and said to Yi Xingchen: "Rubbing this on your face will change your complexion, and washing it with soaphorn water can wash it off, so you can't touch the water." β
Yi Xingchen wiped the potion on his face after his hands were wet, and wiped his bare arms, neck, etc., and looked at it in the bronze mirror, and sure enough, his complexion became a little darker, like a farmer who often worked in the field.
Yi Xingchen looked at himself in the bronze mirror and said, "It's just that the skin is a little darker, but the appearance can still be recognized, is there any other way?" β
Tang Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "I'll do this." Master has taught other disguise techniques, but I am too lazy to learn them, I don't want to make myself ugly, and besides, I don't want to walk the rivers and lakes. β
Yi Xingchen looked left and right, untied his hair, messed it up a little, and then tied his hair back into a bun, and then found a piece of cloth to wrap it, so that he had changed a little, and it seemed to be a little different from the original.
There was no way, it could only be like this, thinking that they did not approach Yunshan Temple that day, although they were driven away by a few black-clothed sect members, but presumably those few sect members should not be in the Taoist temple, they were gathered from other villages, so the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple should not recognize themselves.
So, he asked Tang Xiaoqi to bring soaphorn water to wash it, washed off all the colors, and prepared to dress up when he set off the next day.
The next morning.
Yi Xingchen changed into a peasant's coarse cloth shirt. They have a special clothing shop, with all kinds of clothes, which are used by spies to spy on intelligence to change their identity, but they are not in a hurry to have no clothes.
After changing clothes, the image has changed a little. Yi Xingchen was a little relieved and walked to the Causeway Teahouse. (To be continued)
