44. You're afraid
On the night of July 15, after I was reborn, I experienced several major events, but the final result of each of them was not achieved by my own hands, or there was a good result, so I did not feel any changes in my body all the time.
But this time, it was I who personally destroyed the snow clam essence in the body of the seventh aunt, and the essence of the snow clam essence was absorbed by me, which is clearly telling me that as long as I can punish evil and promote good, and do more good deeds to produce good results, my body will also undergo some changes.
Doing good deeds and getting good results is a process of accumulating merits, and I feel that it is exactly the same as Hu Dingtang opening a hall and accepting Ma disciples to help the ordinary people around him accumulate merits.
Therefore, I can change my physique and promote my cultivation through my own efforts.
This realization made me want to help others because I wanted so much to get back what I had before.
I will definitely save Lu Youcai, but his situation is a bit complicated.
What remains in his body is the essence of the snow clam essence, and at the same time, he is particularly eager to pass on the lineage as soon as possible, if I borrow the mana of Hu Dingtang Yu Perry, how can I use the silver needle to achieve the best of both worlds?
There are many natural enemies of forest frogs, and among these natural enemies, there are many children and many blessings, which ones?
"Butler, tie up Vice Admiral Lu with a rope, don't let him make trouble for the time being, and let someone bring paper and pen." I commanded.
The butler answered, and immediately went to get ready, and in a few moments the pen and paper were delivered to me.
I held the pen, dipped it in ink, and drew on the paper, recalling the embroidery patterns I had learned when I was in the Yin Division, and slowly, a pair of embroidery patterns appeared in my mind.
Thinking about it here, the brush has moved involuntarily, among the natural enemies of the forest frog, the mouse occupies a very important position, and in the zodiac, the rat ranks first, the reproductive ability is particularly strong, and the rat is not called in vain.
When a sturdy little mouse appeared on the paper, I looked at it slightly, and immediately drew a grapevine on the top of the mouse's head, on which hung the enticing bunches of grapes, which are also a symbol of fertility and grandchildren.
Under the vine, a small black and white swallow flutters its wings, and the little mouse drawn earlier has two front paws just stretched forward, like a posture of hunting a little swallow.
When the painting was finished, I was relieved and raised the corners of my mouth, very satisfied with my painting.
This "Swallow Becomes Bat" was not created by me at random, but because I remembered a folk tale: a mouse eats a swallow and becomes a bat.
This folk tale itself has a beautiful moral of having many children, many blessings, and endless life, which is a perfect fit for Lu Youcai's current situation.
When the housekeeper saw me laughing, he called out anxiously: "Miss Meng, it's all this time, how can you still be in the mood to paint and laugh!" ”
"Butler, don't ask, go and prepare a few things for me." As I spoke, I wrote on the paper, "Purple grapes are pitted and skinned, mashed in a mortar, and the juice is taken for retention; a dish of pot bottom ash; a dish of incense burner ashes; a dish of cinnabar; A bowl of black dog blood ......"
Although the butler had always been skeptical of me, he knew in his heart that now he could not count on anyone but me, so he quickly asked his subordinates to help me get these things for me.
After that, I asked the housekeeper to tie Lu Youcai to the bed, lie on his stomach, pull out a silver needle, and prick out the whole "Yan Turning Bat" pattern on his left waist, and then, the tip of the needle is dipped in grape skin water, cinnabar, etc., and the pattern is colored little by little.
The whole process lasted for three hours, and the force of my injection was not too great, but Lu Youcai, who was tied to the bed, reacted greatly.
On the one hand, it is the essence left by the snow clam essence that is still raging, on the other hand, it is also too painful to prick, although the picture of the puncture is not big, but dense, three or four layers deep and shallow, it is really difficult for ordinary people to hold on.
After everything was done, Lu Youcai on the bed arched his body uncomfortably, a roar came out of his throat, two bloodshot eyes stared at me resentfully, and I was staring at him without evasion.
It wasn't until Lu Youcai spurted out a mouthful of black blood that the family members helped clean it up with all hands and feet, and he fainted.
And at the moment when he vomited blood, I only felt another cold breath rushing into my body, which was the reward I needed most at the moment.
"Alright." I stood up, wiped off the silver needle, washed my hands, and said, "Vice General Lu should be well soon, but there are a few things I have to explain to you, and you must strictly supervise him to complete it." ”
The housekeeper nodded, and I said: "After Vice General Lu wakes up, he may vomit, and his whole face is very dark, you have to prepare glutinous rice and black dog blood in advance, mix them together and let him soak in them, and insist on three days and three nights to remove the yin and evil qi in his body." ”
Lu Youcai has been decisive for so many years, and his family has dealt with Yin soldiers, so his physique is naturally different from others, which is the main reason for his infertility and easy to provoke unclean things.
"Secondly, he must not go near any woman for seven days after he wakes up; Seven days later, let him work hard to succeed in the lineage, but after a month, the pattern will disappear, and by then, everything will be in vain. ”
"Miss Meng, are you saying that our young master has hope of giving birth to a young master?" This is what the housekeeper cares about the most.
I smiled and said, "Everything depends on his own creation, I just found a way out for him, I can't guarantee whether he can get his wish." ”
"I believe you, Miss Meng, I believe you in whatever you say now." The housekeeper was very excited.
I shrugged helplessly and said, "It's not early, I'm also very tired, please ask the housekeeper to prepare another carriage to take us back?" ”
"Take my carriage, and I'll take you back." Xiao Jinyu walked over and said.
Mrs. Wu followed behind her, and responded in a loud voice: "Miss Meng, Prince Xiao's kindness, let's not spoil it." ”
……
The carriage drove slowly, I leaned against the wall of the carriage, my eyes closed, the whole person was exhausted, the cold air in my body did not stop for a moment, and I urgently needed a quiet and safe space for me to slowly transform.
At this time, a piece of clothing gently covered my body, and I wanted to open my eyes to take a look, but then there was a joking voice from Mrs. Wu: "Prince Xiao really knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, speaking of which, in addition to a filling room in the inner room, there is no real hostess, right?" ”
"It's just that the palace is declining, and fate has not yet arrived, so it's not in a hurry." Xiao Wang Ye said, and suddenly changed his tone, "Speaking of which, a few days ago, thanks to your love Wu Media, I almost had a main room." ”
"Lord Xiao, this is ......," Mrs. Wu said in a low voice, "Have you taken a fancy to our Miss Meng?" ”
Xiao Jinyu didn't answer directly, just chuckled, which was a tacit acquiescence.
I was leaning there at the time, my heart trembled, let alone facing Xiao Jinyu with my eyes open, and I even breathed lightly.
But I didn't expect Mrs. Wu to suddenly say with a straight face: "Then I advise Prince Xiao, let's accept this heart as soon as possible, Miss Meng and Prince Xiao are afraid that they are inseparable." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Jinyu was surprised, "Miss Meng is not very old, I heard that I am not married, how can you be sure that I will not have a chance?" ”
"Lord Xiao, I, Wu Honglian, have been pulling bridges in the entire Lin'an City for decades, what kind of person is worthy of what kind of marriage, I know it at a glance, if you believe me, listen to me, don't be obsessed with Miss Meng, you will not have results."
Mrs. Wu has already said this, and even if Xiao Jinyu wants to defend something, she has become a little powerless.
The atmosphere inside the carriage suddenly became awkward, I didn't know what their expressions were at that time, and I didn't dare to open my eyes to face them, and I was very uncomfortable for a while.
At that time, I was still thinking, what Mrs. Wu meant in her words was that I was not suitable for Xiao Jinyu, so who am I suitable for?
When I was thinking like this, a figure suddenly broke into my mind, which scared my heart, no, not at all, how could I be involved with Hu Dingtang?
Between me and him, it is to use each other's relationship, that man is scheming, with him, am I not asking for hardship?
Even if I choose Xiao Jinyu, I won't choose Hu Dingtang!
……
Xiao Jinyu first sent Mrs. Meng back to the matchmaker's shop, and I originally wanted him to send me back to the shroud shop directly, but later, I gave up.
"In the middle of the night, I won't rush back, just stay here for the night." I said, "Lord Xiao, thank you." ”
"It's all friends, no thanks." Xiao Jinyu said, "Also, don't call me Lord Xiao in the future, just call me Jinyu." ”
"No, no, no, it's more convenient to call Xiao Wangye." I hastened to refuse.
Xiao Wang Ye smiled bitterly: "It's okay, it's good if you're happy." ”
"Lord Xiao, drive carefully on the way back, if it is more exposed, I won't keep you." Mrs. Wu said.
Xiao Jinyu exchanged a few more words with me, and then got into the carriage and left.
As soon as Xiao Jinyu left, Mrs. Wu grabbed my hand and said, "Miss Meng, you have to stay away from this Xiao Wang Ye in the future." ”
"Why? I think others are very good, don't put on a show, love to help others, and value love and righteousness, why do you feel like you reject him a little? I asked.
"Lord Xiao is indeed very good, but he is not the vegetable in your bowl, you are our Third Master Hu......"
"Phew! I'm who I am, don't mess around. ”
I stopped Mrs. Wu from going on, because as soon as she said this, I felt even more confused, holding the door frame with one hand and covering my heart with the other, and said, "Borrow me a quiet room, I need to meditate." ”
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Wu suddenly became worried, and asked while leading me inside.
I shook my head: "It'll get better soon." ”
Then he explained: "That, you are now Hu Dingtang's disciple, your reputation will continue to rise, and there will be a lot of big and small things to find in the future......"
"Miss Meng, seriously, I'm worried about these things too." Wu Pozi said sullenly, "I am fortunate to be the disciple of Hu Sanye in my third life, but my ability is there, and I can solve ordinary small things by myself, but slightly bigger things, such as this matter of Vice General Lu's family, I am afraid that I will never be able to do it." ”
"It's okay, and me." I said, "In the future, whether it is a big or small matter, I want to solve it with you as much as possible, and we will discuss it when the time comes." ”
"Really? Miss Meng, are you really willing to help me with anything? Mrs. Wu was very happy, "I'm still afraid that I will always go to you, and you will be annoyed." ”
"How can it be, in the final analysis, we are all working for the Hu Mansion, and we are a family." I said.
Meng Pozi nodded again and again: "Yes, a family, we are a family." ”
……
That night, I rested at Mrs. Wu's place, after having dinner and washing up, I went back to my guest room, closed the doors and windows, sat cross-legged on the bed, meditated, and thought back to how I used to practice in the Yin Division Bureau, how I transformed the external power in my body into internal force, and followed the mantra of the heart, trying to slowly transform.
At the beginning, that cold qi had been running around in my body, making me lawless, but as time went by, my body really seemed to open a door, and the cold qi was transformed into internal force little by little, and finally I pressed it towards the dantian in one fell swoop.
But what I didn't expect was that after the internal force pressed into the dantian, there was a sudden backlash, which made me feel the pain of hunting, and then, my body was hot and cold, and the whole person fell on the bed.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person curled up on the bed in pain, and he couldn't open his mouth to call Mrs. Wu.
It wasn't until I pressed the jade pendant that Hu Dingtang gave me to my heart that a warm air flow penetrated into my body, and the whole person felt a little better.
But I still didn't dare to move, my whole body hurt, lying there in a daze, squinting in the dark night, a little weak.
"You're in too much of a hurry."
I don't know when, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded in the room, startling my back bones stiffened.
The next moment, he was already on the bed, dragged me into his arms, and put his big hand on my back, the warm heat ironed my skin, and my whole body instantly sobered up.
"Fortunately, I passed by here after finishing my business, so I stopped by to take a look, otherwise you would have to lie in bed for at least two or three days to recover." Hu Dingtang said again, with a hint of reproach in his tone.
I hummed and said, "I didn't expect myself to be so bad, obviously I followed the steps, why is the effect so bad." ”
"Don't you really know the reason why the effect is not good?" Hu Dingtang asked me rhetorically.
I was stunned for a moment, what did he mean by that?
But after thinking about it, I realized that Hu Dingtang knew my body very well, and perhaps he had already seen that my body did not match some souls.
yes, it doesn't match.
All I know about the inner force of the mind and the like are all inherited from the memories in the Yin Division, and my body is just the body of an ordinary little girl.
In the past, Meng Jiushang was a little fool, he didn't know anything, he was delicate and pitiful, and suddenly letting such a body transform a large amount of internal force was tantamount to pulling out seedlings to help them grow.
Yes, Hu Dingtang is right, I am too eager for quick success and quick profit, and I want to eat a fat man in one bite, but I don't think about whether I can digest it if I eat it.
"Still, it's hard to talk about talent." Hu Dingtang suddenly said, "You are suitable for cultivation, and I believe that soon, you will be able to adapt to it, surpassing many people with mediocre qualifications." ”
I didn't answer Hu Dingtang's words, the two of them just lay there quietly next to each other.
Hu Dingtang didn't say much, and my heart was also turning a thousand times.
After hesitating for a while, I finally made up my mind and asked, "Hu Dingtang, what did you find in my body?" Sometimes you say things that I don't understand. ”
"Do you really not understand?" Hu Dingtang asked me rhetorically, "Or are you pretending to be confused?" ”
I gritted my teeth and said, "Why do you say that about me?" ”
"I've checked you." Hu Dingtang said, "Your illness, your stupidity, your previous eighteen years, you are not pretending, Meng Jiushang, since you are already my person, at least, you have to confess something to me, right?" ”
"Confess what? Am I sick? I was very panicked at the time, but I still said hardly, "Stupid, it's because when I was born, my brain was caused by a lack of oxygen, and the night of the mass grave, I ...... by chance."
"That's enough." In the dark, Hu Dingtang pinched my neck, not light or heavy, but it made my hairs stand up in an instant.
But slowly, Hu Dingtang's hand loosened again, and his thumb was gently caressing the place where he pinched me just now, and then he said, "Meng Jiusheng, I'll take you to a place, right?" ”
"Where?" I asked.
"A place that you may want to go, but you may be afraid to face." Hu Dingtang said, pulling me up.
My head was buzzing at the time, and what he said made me wake up all at once.
Where I want to go, but don't dare to face?
Within the Three Realms and Six Realms, there is indeed such a place that I want to go to but dare not face.
Yin Division!
Will Hu Dingtang be talking about the Yin Division?
Is this the secret he spied out of my body?
Can he enter the Yin Division Bureau and have any dealings with there?
What should I do if I do go and my identity is revealed?
A series of questions crashed into my mind, and I was shocked like a fried chicken, shook off his hand, and yelled: "I'm tired, I want to sleep, let's talk about something later, okay?" ”
"You're afraid!" Hu Dingtang said, "Meng Jiusheng, you're afraid, aren't you?" ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not afraid of anything, I'm going to sleep, you go." As I spoke, I was going to get under the covers again.
Hu Dingtang was not so perfunctory, he pulled me up again and took me out strongly!
