Lin Fusu asked with a look of surprise, "Where did you see it?"

Tong Lingxi said indifferently: "When my mother gave me a jade pendant when I was a child, there are these things on it. ”

Lin Fusu said: "Is the jade pendant still there?"

"Yes, it's in the sea yellow makeup that Lin Ye made for me in my room with headdresses and other miscellaneous items. Why do you want to see it?" Lingxi asked inconsequentially.

"Uh-huh. Lin Fusu nodded like pounding garlic, with a childlike excitement after the discovery of the novelty, and he was almost impatient to go to her room with Lingxi. Lingxi glanced at him and said, "Childe, I'll get it for you, Lin Ye often says that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Lin Fusu smiled embarrassedly when he heard this.

But for a moment, Lin Fusu felt as if a year had passed.

But seeing that Lingxi walked in with an ordinary piece of green jade very casually, the jade body was about two inches high, the bottom diameter was one inch, and the prismatic body had gray-black spots. Lin Fusu grabbed it in his hand and looked carefully, only to see that this prism has a total of twelve sides, hollow but not worn on the top, there is a hole in the lower part of one side and communicates with the inner abdomen, the top is a black and gray bird button, there is a gap between the legs of the bird, which can be worn through the cable line, and the edge is polished. In the twelve sides, each side is engraved with three characters from top to bottom, a total of thirty-six characters.

They don't know any of the words, and the two words written by Lin Fusu are also different, but at a glance, they know that these words are a system with those two words, some of them are made of bird shapes, the words are integrated with the bird shape, and some are winding and coiled strokes, the middle is bulging, the head and tail are sharp, and the long feet are drooping, like the bending of the body of an insect.

Lin Fusu pondered carefully, and figured out a little bit of meaning, and the text should be more than 36 words. Because there are symbols that are still in use in the current Dongli script, that is, heavy character symbols, which appear in several places. As far as the word is concerned, there is no longer a reason for the others.

He asked Lingxi, "Sister Lingxi, what is the origin of this jade?

Lingxi said: "There is no origin, it is said that after I was born, I cried non-stop, held my breath, and my little face turned purple, and my mother found out that this jade was tied to my little feet from her makeup, so I stopped crying." Later, my mother told me that this jade was tied to her feet by her grandmother when she was a child, and that her grandmother had obtained it from her mother. ”

"Didn't you say what the words on it mean?"

"We don't know the big characters of Dongli, let alone this kind of bird talisman? I think the purple swallow on this button is very interesting, exactly the same as the appearance of really wanting to flap its wings and want to fly. ”

"Hmm. This is not Ziyan, I said eldest sister. ”

"Isn't it a swallow? impossible, isn't that what the swallows that flew in March? ”

"I saw a book that described the picture of the divine bird in the teaching, saying that there is a kind of bird with a name, this bird is huge, the cloud "has no feathers on the back of a small place, 19,000 miles", often incarnates the swallow shape to travel in the world, only the demeanor is different, the world does not call it its own name, but respects it as a bird. You see that this jade carving is shaped like a swallow, and this high-spirited posture, that kind of staring gaze, it may be a swallow. The book said that "the heaven and the earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate", and all the birds respect the mystery, but the birds leave the mountain, and the birds are facing the phoenix. Lin Fusu thought about it and said.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, it's just that every time I touch this jade, I feel an inexplicable force that makes the left side of my face hot. ”

When Lin Fusu heard Tong Lingxi's words, he couldn't help but follow her words to look at Lingxi's face. Since Lingxi brought this jade, he has been staring at the jade, not paying attention to Lingxi's expression, this time he looked up, and found that the birthmark on Lingxi's right face seemed to be steamed by the steamer. When he first saw Lingxi, he had looked at the birthmark and was confused, but he hadn't looked deeply since then, and when he looked at it today, he felt that a force seemed to pull his soul into the birthmark.

was in a daze again, with a "snap", the spirit stomped his foot in shame, Lin Fusu came back from his trance, and bowed his head for a while and didn't know what to say.

After a while, Lin Fusu relieved himself and said, "Sister Lingxi, you said that this birthmark is inherited, could it be that your mother or father also has it?"

"My father didn't, my mother did. My mother said that my grandmother had it, and her grandmother had it. It is said that it has been used by women from generation to generation. Lingxi replied.

"Are the colors, shapes, and sizes all the same?"

"It's about the same shape, it's about the same size, it's half a face, I've seen my mother. Lingxi knew that Fusu had no malicious intentions, and replied truthfully, "However, my mother's color is black. She said that it used to be red, but after the age of 20, it slowly turned black, which is the law. ”

"Oh. Lin Fusu pondered for a while, but didn't come up with one, so he continued: "Sister Lingxi, aren't you learning martial arts from your grandfather at the moment?"

"Yes, I have understood all the methods that Lin Ye said, but for some reason, I have not made much progress, and I am still hovering outside the door. Lingxi replied.

"I have seen it in the book: it is said that the training of refining the external force of the muscles and bones is only a small part, and some drugs are needed to stimulate the blood and qi to run, so that the muscles, bones, skin and flesh can be refined; ”

"Ahh Lin Ye didn't say it. ”

"Grandpa was just a new pawn when he practiced martial arts, and I don't think anyone introduced him to this at all, and then he left the army early and went to Dongli. His martial arts in the middle realm of quenching the body relied on the accumulation of the body, which was the most stupid method. ”

"If you speak ill of Lin Ye behind your back, be careful of being beaten. ”

"Hmph, that's the truth. I've only recently learned about it. Those who don't know that they have been buried in the ground for thousands of years say that medicine is the guide, the body is the furnace, the two are used together, and the work is twice as much with half the effort, but we don't seem to have these words here in Yiyang, I don't know if it's the remoteness of the place, or the reason for the lack of medical supplies. I've been going to Jiaoguan for advice to my grandfather for a while, just to see if I can find a pair of drugs that stimulate blood and qi for you. ”

"Childe-" Lingxi was moved to speak.

"But I haven't found it, so don't be moved, hehe, Grandpa Shenguan has amazing attainments in acupuncture, but he is not proficient in medicine. Just now, when I looked at your green jade, I felt my blood and qi surging, I think you might as well hold the green jade in your hand to practice when practicing martial arts, and see if it works. Lin Fusu said solemnly.

"Hmm. ”

"In addition, Sister Lingxi, your piece of jade should have a very good background, put it away, the words on it seem to be forbidden, don't cause unnecessary trouble. I'm curious to see if we have a chance to unravel these words and see what they mean in the future. Lin Fusu had the innocent and curious look of a teenager.

The next day, Lin Fusu went to the Washington library to do things, walked to the door and saw that the army Cao sergeant was gathering outside the gate of the outer courtyard, and several horse breeders pulled over the horses of different colors, led the team leader to give orders, dozens of people saddled the horses, and then let the reins of the horses go. For a while, the sound of horses' hooves roared on the street, and pedestrians looked in horror in the side eaves or side alleys, and the horses were like swimming dragons, neighing and galloping. Yiyang City has city rules, and when the school captain's office executes military orders, knights who go out of the city and enter the city will not be compensated if they do not let the pedestrians step to death.

Lin Fusu asked Xiao Si, who was half-acquainted next to him, understood what was going on, and then continued to walk towards his library.

It turned out that Grandma Yi San, who had been visiting relatives in Hucheng for more than two months, returned to Yiyang, and when the convoy entered the Yiyang territory for more than 100 miles, she suddenly killed a group of masked bandits from the mountains next to the road. The convoy of escorts and these bandits fought in the direction of Yiyang City, but the bandits kept chasing and attacking regardless of life and death. There are many bandits, and there is only one person in the Washington Guard, who is invincible with two fists and four hands, and is seriously injured, but they have reached Fengyi, which is eighty miles away from Yiyang, but they are only besieged. This is a letter that rushed out. After receiving the information, Yi Sanye had already led three soldiers from the upper realm of quenching the body to respond, and Rong Wuye gathered the sergeants as the second echelon and went again.

At noon, when Lingxi came to deliver the meal, she told Lin Fusu that when she came in from the corner gate, the people guarding the corner gate said that Washington had dispatched several masters of the marrow washing realm and two or three hundred soldiers of the quenching realm, saying that the first two teams on the Fengyi side were broken up before they arrived in Fengyi, and there were masters hidden in the bandits, and only Yi Sanye and Rong Wuye were a few people who joined the guards in Fengyi.

In the evening, when Lin Fusu went home, he saw that Washington was solemn. He met the little Taoist priest of the Qingxu Sect at the door, and they said that they were waiting for the master of the Sect Sect. All the people in the fiefdom returned, but it was very tragic, Yi Sanye and Rong Wuye were seriously injured, it is speculated that it was a serious injury to recover, and several masters of the quenching upper realm in Washington died or were abolished. And the reason why Yi Sanye and Rong Wuye were not killed was because they rushed out of a chivalrous warrior with a strong martial arts at a critical moment and dispersed the bandits who were gathered together. The chivalrous man wanted to do good deeds without leaving a name, but he was forcibly invited back by Pin Erye and others who happened to rush over the third wave.

Nothing in this world spreads faster than gossip.

There is gossip everywhere in Yiyang City, saying that the people who besieged Grandma Yi San in Washington were not bandits and robbers at all, but organized soldiers. The soldiers who played the role of robbers came from the capital town of Yuanfu. People don't rob in other cities, but run to Yiyang, and rob it back is your Washington, and they are here to slap their faces. Aren't you a cow in Washington? This time, let you Tianniu take a hand, surround the point to send reinforcements and kill several masters in the upper realm of quenching, and Washington will suffer a big loss. There are also people who say lewdly that Grandma Yi San's pretty face was twisted around by others, and the bandit leader even put his hand in his arms, saying that it was a cold day that made this rough hand warm in the gentle township......

There are few sympathizers among the people in Yiyang City, and most of them are gloating.

When Lin Fusu returned home, the old man Lin Shan was resting, perhaps because he was old and always felt very tired.

And he saw a smile flashing in Lingxi's clear black and white eyes, so he asked her what good things had happened?

Lingxi smiled and said, "Childe, when I practiced martial arts in the afternoon, I held the green jade according to what you said, and I felt that there was a stream of air in my hand slowly injecting into the meridians. Then, with his consciousness, he dragged the qi and caused it to flow throughout his body, feeling that the blood seemed to be speeding up, and then he felt the air flow from his limbs to his chest, and in his consciousness he felt that this air flow was like flowing water converging in a large lake somewhere above the umbilicus. When they returned, I felt as if a thin cocoon had grown on my flesh and muscles, but I could see if there was any change in my hands. I tried the strength, I felt that the strength was greater than the original, and I slapped a tile brick, and the tile brick cracked in response to the sound, but the stone did not work, and the shock made my hand hurt. ”

Lin Fusu couldn't help laughing when she heard the "shock and pain in her hands", and then she was happy that her martial arts had progressed, and said: "The big lake you said may be the sea of Huang Tingzu Qi in the chest that medicine says, but I don't know for sure, because the context of medicine and martial arts is different. In addition, this means that this jade may have something to do with your bloodline. You see, we tried it last night, and it didn't respond at all when I put it in my hand, but it can be surging in your hand. ”
