Chapter 15: Immortality
Since ancient times, whether it is princes and nobles or ordinary people, there have been countless people who have dreamed the same immortal dream at the same time and in different places. However, few succeed.
Even Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, spent the whole country to go to the East China Sea to seek immortal medicine in order to seek immortality, but in the end, he still left the loess dry bones in Lishan, and the immortality he sought was just a dream.
There was one man who was an exception, and he lived to live eight hundred years.
Hou Keng, that is, what the world calls Peng Zu. Legend has it that Peng Zu lived for 767 Jiazi without aging, and was a model for future generations who vainly sought immortality. The place where Niu Ankui went was the place where Peng Zu practiced.
The Shu land in July also began to heat up, the sound of silk and bamboo was mixed with the cicadas outside the window, Zhu Yu wrinkled the curved willow eyebrows, walked over and closed the window, and said to Ah Jiu: "The weather has been hot recently, and I am also lazy, if you decide, you have to practice some skills and entertainment with those women these days, otherwise, you are easy to goof, and second, if you don't have some talent or attractiveness, I won't even look at you when I see that pervert." If you can't get close to that stinky Taoist priest, you're working in vain. ”
Ah Jiu was a little timid, but when he thought of his father's tragic death, he seemed to be unable to care about anything. She nodded, she had discussed it with Ye Yu in the past few days, although it was dangerous, she still wanted to give it a try. Ye Yu said that there was no demonic energy on her body, and the Taoist priest would not suspect her, as long as she could get close to the Taoist priest, she would wait for the opportunity to poison her with the most poisonous poison that Ye Yu carried. And Ye Yu pretended to be a little girl, hiding the demonic energy, and protecting Ah Jiu is on the side.
The sound of silk and bamboo was ethereal, and there were courtesans singing in the pavilion, but this time in Wu language, maybe it was a woman from Wu land: "In autumn, Gu is still fluttering, and Ge Hong is not ashamed of Dansha." "It's all such a sentence around and around, and it makes people feel trance.
Zhu Yu said that in order to make the Taoist priest notice Ah Jiu, the most important thing is to be charming. For about four or five days in a row, Ajiu followed Zhu Yu to learn the art of charming.
The first layer is the enchanting posture, the second layer is the eyebrows, and the third layer is to cultivate the charm by refining the qi and practicing the qi and the gods. Ajiu's original form is a willow tree, and even though her demonic aura has been covered up over the years, the willow tree's natural enchanting posture is beyond the reach of mortals. Juyu said that Ajiu only needed to practice to the first two layers.
The first layer is in her bones, and the second layer needs to be guided.
Yunxiang Pavilion sings and dances day by day, and the silk and bamboo surround the ears. Zhu Yu took Ah Jiu to a secret room, which was full of elegant objects in the qin, chess, calligraphy and paintings, and asked in puzzlement: "Sister Zhuyu, that Taoist priest should be interested in Fangshu and the like, why do you want to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc.?
Zhu Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "Originally, I thought so, but yesterday your brother told me that the Taoist priest was a scholar in front of the Taoist priest." Hey,The sisters who used to send it over were either good at singing.,Or good at dancing.,Or.。。。 No wonder the Taoist priest is always dissatisfied, it turns out that the reason is here, but I was negligent. ”
Ah Li was still puzzled: "But we still have three days, I have never learned those things before, I... ”
Zhu Yu smiled charmingly and interrupted: "Don't worry, you just need to learn some general things, I will teach you how to say some things, some things don't have to know, as long as you can say it, say some tricky and nice words, then the Taoist priest will naturally look like you as a confidant." You are still young, and if you make up some bizarre and pitiful life stories, he will naturally get closer to you. ”
"But I still don't think he'll trust me so easily. ”
Zhu Yu thought of something, sighed, gently touched Ah Li's head with her hand, and said: "Yes, you look like your mother, and clean like a blank piece of paper, he will definitely love you very much." It's just that it's dangerous, you don't have a demon law, it's both a good thing and a bad thing, once that Taoist priest finds out that something is wrong, you don't even have the slightest ability to protect yourself. ”
"With the Ye family's brother protecting me, it doesn't matter, I will definitely avenge my father and mother when I go. Ah Li's eyes were firm.
Zhu Yu looked at Ah Li with a complicated expression, and said for a long time: "Since this is the case, then let's hurry up and learn." ”
In the next three days, Ah Li learned the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that she had never touched in her life, and Zhu Yu taught her day and night, with only one or two hours of rest every day.
Ah Li didn't have time to go back to the inn, so he simply stayed in Yunxiang Pavilion, Ye Yu often came to accompany her, but the time was very short, he seemed to have something to do, every time he came in a hurry, silently watched Ah Li for a while, and left in a hurry.
Ah left school very well, but in a day or two, he has lost his previous immature childishness, but has become more demure and calm. The weakness and softness in her bones add to the charm and make people love and pity.
On the last day, Ye Yu came to see Ah Li as usual, the original cynical face was shrouded in a faint sadness at the moment, Ah Jiu knew what he was worried about, so he comforted him while painting: "Brother Ye, you don't have to worry about me, Sister Zhu Yu has said it, I now have the ability to let that stinky Taoist priest get close to me, as long as I grasp the opportunity and find an opportunity to give him the most poisonous medicine, I will definitely be able to kill him." ”
Ye Yu smiled stiffly, as if he didn't hear Ah Li say anything more, and said to himself: "When you take revenge, you will go back to Gusu, and my father and Lao Yang will definitely protect you." ”
Ah Li smiled, her eyes reflected the wealth and prosperity of Gusu City, and the corners of her eyes showed infinite tenderness, and at the same time with some firmness: "Okay, let's go back together." ”
For some reason, this time Ye Yu didn't answer her, nor did he laugh with her, but frowned, as if he was thinking about some complicated question, or making a difficult decision.
Outside the window, the night was already deep, the moon was slowly sinking in the west, and even the sound of silk and bamboo in Yunxiang Pavilion was fading. The summer night in Shu was cooler than in Gusu, and Ah Li was tired for a few days, and as soon as he lay on the table, he slowly fell asleep.
On the side, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy had a heavy gaze, which was completely different from the previous suave and fluffy playboy who loved to play tricks. He looked at the little man who was asleep with extremely gentle eyes, although the woman had lost the childishness of the previous girl when she was awake, but at this time, in the eyes of the young man, she was still the lovely and charming little sister who had been frightened by her that night.
The boy picked up the brush on the table, and in the night, he wrote a letter seriously.
As he finished writing, he threw some light gray dust into the air, then rolled over and jumped out, disappearing out of the window into the darkness of the night.
