Volume 1 A Hand Covering the Sky Chapter 77 Joy
The thunder flashed, shining on the back of the old lady, in the outline of the shadows, Hu Biaozhen actually felt that the old lady was like the long-deceased Chen Yuwan, so majestic with a gentle smile, speaking steadily, doing things, and treating everything like a bowl of water.
Hu Biaozhen gradually calmed down, he got up and bowed solemnly, and said, "Listening to the words of the eldest lady today, the students suddenly opened."
"Gossip, it's all gossip, hehe." The old lady walked back to the house, "As for Jin Qiu, he has always been attached to Qiu Sheng's protection, and he is a bit of a tiger to be a tiger. You are my husband's protégé, and if you give it to you, you will take care of him for the old man." The old lady walked back to the futon and knelt down and sat down, and said in a long tone, "It's not terrible to be seen clearly by people with a smiling face, since you want to be such a character, you have to laugh brightly, and the knife has to be dark."
Hu Biaozhen's body trembled suddenly when he heard this, he looked at the old lady's back in surprise, and only replied after a while: "Student, obey the order."
"Go ahead, wash yourself of the mud." The old lady waved her sleeves and motioned to the maid, "The Qing official must have an innocent appearance." Z.br>
Hu Biaozhen replied, "Oh."
The maid helped Hu Biaozhen to take a bath.
The old lady summoned the servants and asked, "Has the guard, Motoyoshi, ever returned?"
The servant replied respectfully, "Old lady, no. I heard that I was sent out by the third master to run errands. Madame is calling him back?"
The old lady looked at the fish in the food bowl on the spirit table, and looked at the soup that was gradually drying up, she sighed faintly, and then waved her sleeves and said, "It's just worrying, no need."
She held the Buddha beads in the palm of her hand, buckled her thumb one by one, and silently recited two silent words in her mouth.
Peaceful.
Halfway through the night, water dripping outside the eaves was rippling.
The gangsters on Dongmen Street fought all night, and many people lay down on the porch and fell asleep, they were all over the place, and their snoring was mixed up.
The candles in the wing room were bright, Yuan Ji sat quietly on one side of the table with frowns, and the deer on the other side was flat.
Xiao Er put the finger-length knife on the fire and roasted it, and after a while, he raised the scimitar in front of his eyes to look at it carefully, then nodded to himself, and then ripped the robe off Yuan Ji's back.
The hiss rose and fell, and the solid back was illuminated by the firelight, revealing hideous wounds.
Xiao Er measured the wound with his fingers, held the knife and said, "The White Horse Gang has smeared poison on the knife with this group of miscellaneous pieces, and this flesh has to be ripped off to clear the blood, you can bear with it."
Yuan Ji nodded silently, Xiao Er picked up the wine jug and poured it, sprayed the wound with his swollen mouth, and then quickly cut the knife against the erosive meat.
Yuan Ji's brows frowned even tighter, and the five fingers of the hand lying on the desk stretched out, and the fingertips buckled into the table.
"Shopkeeper, Yuanji's wound looks a little interesting." Xiao Er cut the knife repeatedly, stared at the wound and said, "This poison has seeped into the flesh, but there is no sign of necrosis in it.
"Concentrate." Lu Bupin admonished Xiao Er, and immediately looked at the beads of sweat oozing from Yuan Ji's forehead, and asked, "After you entered the Kaiyuan Valley, did the medicine stop?"
Yuan Ji snorted in a sullen voice, and immediately gasped, saying, "No, I have been serving, I have never broken, I have never broken."
The second half of his sentence was broken, and Lu Bupinden looked at Xiao Er. Xiao Er raised the blood-stained knife awkwardly and laughed embarrassedly.
"Cultivator, spiritual power quenching the body, you have taken this medicine since you were a child, and the accumulated medicinal properties are too heavy, and your body and bones will naturally not react for a while." Lu Bupin pulled out the wine stopper and poured wine into the ear bowl, "Now that the spiritual power has passed through the limbs and hundreds of remains, it is useless to take it, from today onwards, let's stop."
Motoyoshi said "yes" in a respectful voice, then took out a few medicine bottles from his arms and put them on the table.
"Give it to me." Xiao Er lowered his head and said, "I'm almost running out, I'm always busy catching up with the car these days, and I don't have time to go to the herb shop to get it."
Motoyoshi endured the pain, his eyes staring at the medicine bottle on the table, his expression hiding the residual attachment.
This medicine is called "Enlightenment".
Anyone who takes this medicine can stop pain and desire.
He has been taking it since he was a child, not only him, but all orphans and dead people who have joined the Chamber of Commerce, or who have been adopted by Lu Bupin, have to start taking it since he was a child.
This medicine has carried his pain for many years, and it is also the greatest consolation. Losing his desire does not mean losing his thinking, but losing his desire, he can think more clearly, and he can always stay calm in a critical moment.
The dead man is the shadow that walks in the darkness to assassinate the target, and since he entered the Kaiyuan Valley to cultivate, the refining of spiritual power has gradually forced the accumulated medicinal properties out of the body.
He began to have lust and remembered what it was like to be in pain.
He looked sideways at Xiao Er as he gasped for breath, peeking at his innocent face, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
It's poison.
"You have been blessed with this medicine." Lu Bupin pushed the ear bowl over, "In just four years, he has broken through the four realms in a row, and this kind of talent can be described as a natural talent in the cultivation realm. But I tell you the truth today, these four realms have not been broken, but have been avoided by virtue of non-thought. Later, when the next demon comes, the pain you have to endure is beyond the reach of people. Yuanji, you remember."
Yuanji poured the wine, wiped the corners of his mouth and stared at the deep voice, "Yuanji, keep in mind the teachings of Mr."
The words fell, and there seemed to be a slight breeze outside the house, and the deer's eyes moved slightly, and then his complexion returned to normal.
The hissing sound of cutting the flesh continued, and a few sounds of blood spillage were heard, Xiao Er cut off the dead meat, then sprinkled the medicinal powder, and wrapped the gauze around Yuanji's shoulder.
"No wonder the shopkeeper also let the little one learn the cultivation skills, hey, although I have only broken through the Angry Demon Realm now, but in the future, I may be able to catch up with you." Xiao Er wrapped the gauze and patted Yuanji's shoulder, grinned and said, "Don't lose to me."
Yuanji rubbed his head for a while, and said weakly, "You have to surpass me quickly, I'll wait for you."
"Little Er, step aside." Lu Bupin waved Xiao Er away, and waited for the door to close before saying, "Now there are only you and me, and I still have orders to give you orders."
Next.
Motoyoshi bounced his spirits and said, "Sir, please speak."
"Miss has returned to the capital, she is a key criminal arrested by the imperial court, and it is not appropriate to show her face." Lu Bupin stroked the beard and continued, "And you are different, your identity and household registration are not registered, and the government has no way to check it. I've ordered your identity to be changed, do you know what's next?"
Yuan Ji listened to the words and pondered, and after a while, he said, "Sir asked me to take Chen Jinqiu to see Gao Cheng, it must be because he wanted to use the Julong Gang to break through the closed place of the prison."
Lu Bupin bowed his head and said, "If you think about it, you should know when you were in Yanzhou that Jiang Zimo single-handedly chose Yanzhou and was deeply loved by the people. But under Chen Qiusheng's trial, the people did not complain. This shows that Zheng Guo's law is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and as long as it is fair and reasonable, it is the will of the people. Therefore, the prison is the most important key, and if the young lady wants to overturn the case for the prince, she must ensure that the prison is clean and clean, and it is not dirty."
Yuan Ji nodded, the wound on his back was itching and cold, he frowned, and said, "But the Jianghu gang has been hated by the bureaucracy since ancient times, if Chen Jinqiu borrows the power of the Julong Gang, he is afraid that he will be framed by others in the future and fall into the well."
"Xi Wu is in front of the hall, chasing fame and chasing neatness and absurdity. Walking the rivers and lakes is for wealth and glory. When it was put in the previous dynasty, the troubles in Kyushu, the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the robbers of the green forest were all ruthless characters who dominated one side, and it was the founding emperor of Zheng who also begged the rivers and lakes to conquer this great country. There is no distinction between powers, but those who use them wisely." Lu Bupin's tone was leisurely, "However, if the world is peaceful, the Jianghu guests will be oppressed by the bureaucracy, and they can only be scattered. So if you look at it, the four major gangs in the outer nine cities are doing very well and steadily, and you can see that this world is not very peaceful in the end."
Yuan Ji put his thumb on his lower lip and said, "According to what Mr. said, the strength of this gang is comparable to that of the army, although it is smaller, but it is also a force that cannot be ignored."
"You're not a three-year-old child, I can't be around to teach you everything. There are some truths that you need to learn by yourself, see them, and think about them in the future." Lu Bupin stood up and said, "Zheng Guo is a piece of sky, but there is land under it, the rivers and lakes are a muddy river, and under the pond water, there is also a new sky. You can't be an official, but you can come out in the rivers and lakes, and you can help the young lady get what she wants, understand?"
Yuan Ji suddenly came to his senses, and he stood up and saluted respectfully, saying, "Yuan Ji understands."
Lu Bupin pushed the door out with his back hand and walked into the night.
Yuan Ji and the others walked and couldn't hear the footsteps before they sat down, he poured wine into the ear bowl, and then took the bowl and said, "It's all here, what are you doing standing outside?"
Graceful, Jiang Guo stepped into the house with a cigarette stick, she first looked around, looked at the simple furniture, and then walked behind Yuan Ji.
"It's so badly injured, why are you still drinking?" Jiang Guo put down the cigarette stick and brushed Yuanji's back with his bare hand, "Does it hurt?"
Her voice was surprisingly soft, full of concern.
Yuanji took a sip of wine and said, "It's all over, I'm fine, senior sister don't worry."
Jiang Guo looked at the wet robe on his back, and immediately reached out and touched it with his fingertips, only to find that it was all sticky and wet sweat.
"You said it at the gambling house tonight." Jiang Guo looked at Yuan Ji's hair sadly, as if waiting for him to look back, "I don't believe it."
Yuanji glanced back at her, and then quietly poured the wine jug into the ear bowl.
The wine rattled, Jiang Guo looked at it, and stood without saying a word.
Motoyoshi put the bowl to his lips and sipped it carefully, he recalled the cold words he said to Gao Cheng when he was blocked by the White Horse Gang tonight, the bitterness in his mouth was the same as the taste in his heart.
Yuan Ji grunted in his throat, swallowed the wine, and said slowly, "Senior sister doesn't believe what you say?"
"Kill." Jiang Guo's hand slid on the edge of the table, and he walked to sit down across from him, "It wasn't your intention."
"I've been killing people since I was a child, and I was a dead soldier before I entered the Abyss Valley." Yuan Ji rubbed his index finger against his lower lip, "Senior sister knows, why do you ask so much?"
He smiled frivolously at the moment, his usual indifference was melted into tonight's wine, the sound of water ticking outside the house, the candle flame swaying in the house, and the hypocritical coolness was hidden in the warmth.
Jiang Guo's slender fingers stretched out and scraped the hair in front of Yuanji's forehead.
She propped her chin in one hand and said, "I can tell you that it hurts when you say that."
Yuanji brushed her hand away, poured wine and held the bowl, and said, "Make a play on the spot."
