117. Bone Miscellaneous Talk (1)
The quiet mountain path, one person and one rider broke the dawn, the wind and grass broke up the high slope, the horse neighed, and stood at the mouth of the cliff, and the man on the horse was dressed in black and had black hair and sideburns, holding the reins and waiting quietly.
In a moment, the white horse jumped out like lightning, like a rising auspicious cloud between the dark mountain roads, and when the two horses stood side by side, the man in black raised his whip and pointed remotely: "Jingzhou, Qingya Town, you can rest for a while." The days and nights of rushing made a trace of fatigue appear on his cold white face.
The man on the white horse, wearing a hat, looked silently at the town caged in the yellow sand, nodded, turned his horse's head and galloped down.
Let's talk about irrelevant gossip. Jingzhou is adjacent to Da*xi, and the boundary between the two states is the mountain under their feet, which runs north-south and is named "two boundaries"; As the name suggests, the mountain divides the east and the west, with abundant rain and four distinct seasons in the east, and yellow dust and rough and dry in the west.
The mountains of the two realms are high but not steep, and the soil contains a large number of rocks, which is not suitable for reclamation and habitation, and is suitable for passers-by who need to hide and hide.
For example, last night, a thunderstorm came on the fourth watch, washing away the sparse soil layer on the surface, and the exposed sharp rocks were in danger of piercing the horse's hooves at any time. In desperation, the two passers-by had no choice but to walk forward until the sky was about to dawn, and their clothes were soaked with sweat and dried by the cool morning breeze.
There is a natural gap in the Two Realms Mountain facing Qingya Town, which is a shortcut from the Central Plains to the northwest, and all fugitives, swordsmen, and black merchants who sell smuggled goods like this road, so Qingya Town is very lively.
The yellow sand under the desert north blows the face of the people is simple, the thick rammed earth wall at the entrance of the town is full of cow and sheep bones, the eyes are full of looks, the huge town only has an old locust tree at the entrance of the town, under the locust wood, an old warlock who is gray and fluttering is telling fortunes for people.
The warlock is very special, gray clothes and gray hair, gray and shaggy eyebrows, and his eyes are smart, and he calls himself "the master of phase bones", claiming that as long as he looks at a person's bones, he can predict the person's marriage and predict his fate.
There is also a set of people who must say that the bone is not in the skin, what 'beauty is in the bone is not in the skin', all things stand because of the bone, and the bone is far better than the skin;
The most ridiculous thing is that he also said to other beautiful girls: You only have good skin, but your bones are really average, and you are beautiful, without charm, greasy, really greasy! He said to the ordinary-looking girl next to him: Your bones are upside down, but it's a pity that the skin is a little different, it's okay, it's beautiful, and it has charm.
Isn't this begging?!
Perhaps it was too pretentious, and the people of the town ridiculed him as a half-fairy, saying that he "had no other strengths but only boastful talk", and said that those who were beautiful all day long must not be at ease, and warned the children not to get close to him.
It's a pity that the half-fairy is lively and interesting, and it just makes the child like it - no, he opened the hexagram stall early in the morning, and just opened the banner with "Xiang Bone Broken Life", a group of naughty children came up to poke him itch.
"Grandpa Half-Immortal, why are you here every day?"
"I don't know," Banxian smiled as she poked back, "But I'm going to leave soon!" β
The urchins fumbled with the different shapes around his waist and asked, "Where are you going?" The half-immortal guarded his waist: "I don't know much about it." Hey, don't touch this, the Ecstasy Bell can't be played...... Yes! It's a demon mirror, and it can't be illuminated......"
"You fortune teller don't know anything? No wonder your father and mother call you a liar and tell us to stay away from you. "The boys couldn't grab anything, so they all ran away, except for the girl with the two horns tied.
"Why are you here again?" The half-immortal stretched his waist and found a more comfortable position to lean against the root of the locust tree.
"I'm busy looking for a husband for my sister in the village, so I don't have time to pay attention to me, it's boring."
"Don't complain, you're going to have to do it sooner or later."
"Not good, not good." The bare arm with baby fat shook it, "Husband is boring, grandpa is interesting." The girl wrinkled her nose and shook her head, the little freckles on her face were very vivid, and she suddenly thought: "Eh, grandpa will take me with me, and I will learn from grandpa!" β
"The girl Mo Hu said, how can grandpa do the evil thing of abducting girls?" The half-immortal nodded her forehead: "You have no fate in your life, you can't learn, you can't learn-"
The girl's eyes darkened, she sat down like him, and said dejectedly: "Boring, really boring, this town is so boring, even the only interesting grandfather is leaving." Grandpa wants to leave, so he will finish the story of the two demon gods, the snake fell into the sky for love, and the silver fox is dedicated to cultivating Buddha, and then what? β
"I don't know."
"Don't know?"
"Your grandfather is called a half-immortal, and he only knows half of everything, and of course the other half doesn't know."
The girl didn't force it, but asked, "What about the 'bone fan'?" β
"The old profession knows it all." The half-immortal sat up and said:
"Gather bone fan, gather bone fan, gather the world's wind and bones and look at it - the fan is white all over, it seems to be ordinary, it is actually a fairy in the upper realm, and it is said that all those who can support the wind and bones described in this fan are all strange men who are difficult to find in the world, or unparalleled talent, or loyal and brave, or have strange feelings, or have strange wisdom, or have adventures."
"Nothing strange?" The girl asked out of thin air.
"The things on the surface of the face have nothing to do with the wind and bones, not to mention that people with excellent bones will never be ugly, and it is the same whether they do it or not. The girl is close to me, not like a person with a heavy appearance, why do you ask here? β
"It's my sister, she has to find a beautiful husband who can fight, and she doesn't care about her character, family background, and identity. I can't say it, if you invite a husband who is a great traitor, won't it be a disaster? But my sister scolded me, saying that a beautiful man could be wicked, and that if she found something wrong, she would ask her husband to look for her again. I know why no one dared to ask for her, so I said this to her. β
"Don't say it too early, your sister is bold, brave and resolute, or there is a man who is different, and it is unknown if she falls in love with her."
The girl didn't think so, shrugged her shoulders and sarcastically, "That's really the number one strange man on the bone fan." β
The half-immortal shook his head: "There are no people on the bone fan, only bones." In addition to the head and tail of the two large fan bone white jade carving, the remaining eighteen are cut into strange bones, the fan records the corresponding eighteen kinds of bone phase, its shape, color, so that the man who has the bone phase will have what temperament, suffering, etc., are all described.
"For example, the rarest 'snow bone' is praised as 'exquisite' by the Xianggu people. It is said that a man born with this kind of bone appearance has a lonely and empty temperament, and his bones are as cold as ice and snow, which is most suitable for going to a bitter cold place to practice immortal arts, and he can achieve it in ten years after a hundred years of work. God's favor, born immortals, I have walked the world for many years, so far I have not been able to see, if there is a fate to see in this life, it is also considered to die without regrets. β
"And the bone phase that grandpa hasn't seen?"
"What's more, the first few in the fan, I haven't met in a hundred years, grandpa and I are ordinary people, how can we read all the bones of the world in just a few decades?"
"So far, has grandpa encountered a rare bone phase?"
"This ......" the half-immortal was embarrassed, so he said in a mysterious way: "Don't say, don't say!" β
The girl pursed her lips and shook the half-immortal, "You can say it!" Grandpa is always like this, half of the story is told, and the appetite of hanging flowers! β
"Okay, I'll say I'll say," the half-immortal held his head and whispered: "Don't tell anyone about the end of the flower, this is a heavenly opportunity, and if it leaks, you will lose your life." You see, grandpa just leaked too many heavenly secrets, and he is only forty years old, like a bad old man. β
The girl glanced at the face of the half-fairy ditch and nodded in fear. The half-fairy leaned into the girl's ear and muttered, the girl's face was full of ignorance, and the half-fairy sighed, picked up the branch and scratched it to the ground.
"Yan - Bone ββ?" The girl read word by word.
"Shhhh Whisper! "The half-immortal seems to want to tell the end of the flower some earth-shattering secret," Yan Gu, also known as 'rouge bone', was originally a fox demon bone who cultivated into a fine in the demon world, and then I don't know which shameless fox spirit acted against the sky, combined with people, broke the barrier of demons, and the Yan bone was transmitted to the world. β
Hua Mo covered her small mouth and made a surprised expression cooperatively: "Yan Gu was originally a goblin?" β¦β¦ What do the elf bones look like? β
The half-immortal lifted his sleeves, took off the beads on his wrist and handed it over: "It looks like this." β
Each of these wrist beads is slightly larger than soybeans, a total of one hundred and eight pieces, and the quality is excellent, it is a blood red like red coral. Hua Mo didn't answer and laughed, and said, "Grandpa coaxed people, you said that this is blood Bodhi, why did you become a glamorous bone again?" People say, 'Thick bones,' and you don't see the color right. β
"I didn't coax you, the one who opened the light is called Blood Bodhi, and the one who didn't open the light is Yan Gu. Demon bones can be made into various magic weapons, and this string of Buddhist beads is taken from the finger bones of the fox demon. As for the color, there is a note on the 'poly bone fan': bright bones, heterochromatic, soft bones, slender shape, newborn light pink, adult alizarin red, the darker its color becomes with the increasing age, and it is as bright as rouge when it dies, so it is called rouge bone. Therefore, this color is like a fake! β
The girl was amazed when she heard this, and when she looked at it carefully, she was red and gorgeous, round and lovely, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she couldn't help but feel envious, so she wanted to put it on. The half-immortal stopped and smiled: "No, no-" Before she finished speaking, the girl's eyes were already in a trance, and she said to herself: "Why not, grandpa old man, if you want it to be useless, let's give it to the flower powder......"
The half-immortal looked stunned, his heart was not good, and he was busy splitting his hands to recapture the blood Bodhi. The girl's hands were empty, her eyes were clear, and she was ashamed to read the words of Fang Cai, and she felt even more unbelievable. The half-immortal knew the reason, and comforted: "You don't have to be embarrassed at the end of the flower, the blood Bodhi demon bones are grinding, and your villain's roots and bones are not enough, so you can't suppress it, so you naturally have to be captured." β
Hua Mo was deeply apologetic: "Grandpa said that unrighteous people often attract evil spirits, and it is caused by mutual feelings, and I think it is because Hua Mo originally wanted Grandpa's blood Bodhi in his heart, so he was captured." β
The half-immortal touched her head with satisfaction, and put the blood Bodhi back on her wrist, "The beautiful bones are beautiful and confusing, not auspicious, our Xianggu people have the saying that 'rouge girls die in the world', Hua Mo should know that there is a type of woman in the book who is called the disaster of the country, the peerless enchantress, and the future generations will render their beauty in every way, but where do you know that their appearance is not necessarily how good, excellent, just the charming bones." β
It's not that grandpa is stingy, it's really not something that ordinary people can have, Hua Mo thought, and couldn't help but be puzzled: "Grandpa has a master, and he will definitely not be captured, but he wears blood Bodhi all year round, there is always a saying, you don't know, everyone is talking about it, saying that he still wears such a red and glamorous thing at a young age, it's not like words." β
The half-immortal sighed twice and said, "Let's discuss, discuss, I'm useless with this thing, it's really not like words." Many years ago, it was meant to be given away, but it was not sent out, and the beautiful bones were rare, and I was reluctant to lose them...... Hey, an old story, don't mention it, don't mention it-" looked regretful.
Hua Mo was sensible, and really took his eyes off the blood Bodhi, and asked another question: "Grandpa once said that the bone fan only remembers the man's bones, and there is another one that remembers the woman, which is called the 'peach blossom fan'." But when Grandpa Fang Cai talked about glamorous bones, he always said how women are, and he didn't say a word about men. Since the bones only grow on women's bodies, why is there a record on the bone fan? β
"The end of the flower is really careful, that's right, the bone fan does only remember the man's bones. It's a pity that the way of heaven is impermanent, numerology is weird, there is a kind of wrong birth in this world, called male and female appearance, and there is even a wrong life, called male and female bones. What's more, Yan Guyuan is not only available to women, but also to men. β
Hua Mo was young, and he laughed before he finished listening: "How can men be charming?" β
This is difficult to answer, the half-immortal is just a branch: "This ...... It's hard to say, but the flower will understand when she grows up. Immediately split the glamorous bones, and continued to brag, saying that the bone phase on the fan can be roughly divided into the following categories:
Clear bones, solitary bones are fairy bones, six clean, suitable for monks and Tao, the rarest is the "exquisite snow bone penetration" that has never been seen; The rouge bone is the first of the charm bones, followed by the love bones, the charm of love, and it is well deserved; Iron bones, fierce bones, and proud bones are heroic bones, and the people who grow are violent and not afraid of power, and there are many proud men who have always died in their families and countries; The opposite of the hero is, of course, a beauty, the beauty is delicate and fragile, the shoulder frame is small and evenly proportioned, and the man with this bone appearance is beautiful and weak, vulnerable, and his personality is slightly gentle and gentle...... In the past, most of the bones on the fan shook out, and the half-immortal was not enough, so he counted his fingers, patted his head and said: "Just say, why did you miss it!" ββThe honor of fragrant bones 'Wuxin Tan', which is also a fairy bone and a charm bone, is a very rare bone with multiple products. β
Tete proposed that it must be extraordinary, and Hua Mo asked: "What do you say?" β
The half-immortal remembered this bone, and shook his head proudly: "There is a load on the bone fan: heartless sandalwood, the bone is fragrant, the skeleton is three-dimensional and slender, and it is rigid and pure." No heart to the bone, no heart and no desire, no desire is rigid, those who hold this bone, the fate is more affectionate and less, the flower blooms for a moment, and it will be fruitless for the rest of its life. β
"Did Grandpa say that 'Wuxin Tan' still carries incense?"
"Of course, that's how the word 'tan' came from. It is said that the kind of incense is not a flower or a musk deer, it seems to be nothing, it is very mysterious, and what is even more mysterious is that when the heartless sandalwood bone is separated from the body, it is not broken by external forces, and it is an auxiliary material for forging the artifact of the heavenly soldiers. β
Unconsciously, dark clouds gathered over the green cliff, and just when the half-immortal was still shaking, the thunder roared, bursting half of the sky. Seeing this, the half-immortal hurriedly shut up, as a half-hung Taoist priest, he only measured human feelings and did not know the heart of heaven, and when he saw such a scene, he naturally had infinite fear. Hua Mo felt that it was just an ordinary celestial phenomenon, and muttered, "It rained so heavily on the mountain side last night, and it was our turn this morning." It's okay, the beginning of summer has arrived, it's time to rain, but as soon as it rains, my sister's martial arts competition will be put on hold. Say goodbye to the half-immortal, and persuade him to close the stall and hide, "Don't be under the tree, lead the thunder!" β
Seeing the girl walking away, the half-immortal felt quite bored, the sky was gray, and he was also gray, only a string of red beads on his wrist was bright and dazzling, and he couldn't help but lie down against the tree, as if he said melancholy: "Who knew that you were a greedy wolf in the palace, if I knew earlier, how could I not give it to you." Suddenly, he rushed to the road angrily and shouted, "What about leaking the secret of heaven? Who told you to make a little gangstar with bright bones to trick me! It's expensive and cheap, don't bring such fun! You just deliberately trick me and don't let me become an immortal - I want to vent the heavens, I want to vent! You're hacking me!! β
After shouting, the dark clouds in the air dispersed dramatically, and the half-immortal was stunned for a moment, and he was about to scold again, but he didn't know that a thunderous roar sounded behind him: "Who is looking for death!" Get out of the wayβ"
When I looked back, I saw a group of mysterious people wearing hoods and hats, flying horses, full of evil. After all, the half-immortal is mortal, how can he wait to be trampled into mud in the middle of the road, hurriedly dodge the roadside, and vent his anger against Tiangong on this group of swordsmen: "Amazing! I can't get used to you people, do you know that you are not allowed to indulge in the city? Forbid! β
The horseshoe fried beans were like a dada, and no one paid attention to him, leaving billowing dust for him to eat. The half-immortal was extremely angry, walking around in the flying dust, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stared in disbelief at the direction where the swordsmen had gone.
This taste is ......
Heartless Sandalwood and ...... Bright bones?!
