Chapter 65: Thunder signals, Ruoshui solves the riddle of stone poetry
The night, it seems, is very long. Lan Ling was already exhausted, leaning against the stone wall behind him, and went to bed early.
"Whew-"
The cold wind hit, and Lan Ling couldn't help but shrink into a ball.
Seeing this, Zhao Yunxi took off the hunted animal skin on his body and covered Lan Ling's body. Only then did the iron-blue face regain its bloody color.
As the bonfire crackled, the temperature of the entire cave began to rise gradually. At this time, Zhao Yunxi was also sitting by the bonfire and gradually fell asleep.
Uzhou City, Fan Mansion.
Looking at the gradually sunny weather outside the house, Ruoshui took the worn-out and somewhat yellowed ancient book from the table after thinking for a long time. I saw three big black letters written on it - astrology
After sighing lightly, she looked at the "Astrology" in her hand and said, "It's been some years since Daddy left, why hasn't there been any news so far?" Could it be that something happened to him? β
"I remember that my father picked up this book when he was out there. If it weren't for it, Daddy probably wouldn't have disappeared without a trace. β
Looking at the ancient books in front of him, Ruoshui once again raised his heart to his voice. She cautiously looked at the sky to make sure it was getting better. Only then did she dare to open the ancient books.
On the first page of this book, it is written: The way of the heavenly dome is all the same; The principles of life and death are all interdependent. Take the way of heaven and explore its life, and pounce on reincarnation to know its life.
The second page is a commentary on the various astrological signs.
As she kept flipping through it, she began to feel a little restless about the day.
"Boomβ"
Suddenly, a boulder on the rockery was split into several pieces by a bolt of lightning, and white smoke rose everywhere. The splashed stones flew in front of Ruoshui's eyes and almost hit her in the face.
When the water saw this, he put away the ancient book.
"Miss! Are you okay? The maid Xiaolan heard the thunder just now, and hurriedly came to Ruoshui's room, but saw Ruoshui holding the ancient book "Astrology", and was surprised, and said, "Miss, how dare you still hold it?" Didn't Miss forget the last time, but because of it, almostβ"
"That's it! Xiaolan! You don't have to talk about it again. Ruoshui was a little angry, grabbed the conversation, and said to Xiaolan: "If Daddy doesn't return for a day, my heart will be uneasy for a day, and I can't bear that this God is also against me, and I don't want me to know anything." Could it be that what happened to Daddy? β
"Miss! You don't have to be sad, he will definitely return safely. β
"I hope so!"
Both of them moved their eyes to the ancient book "Astrology" on the table.
I don't know when, the sky is getting brighter. A beam of light shot into the cave.
Lan Ling got up, but saw that there was an extra beast robe on his body, and he felt a few more good feelings for the empty seat that disappeared. Seeing that there was no one around, Lan Ling was a little worried. Maybe it's because of this warmth, that's why I'm worried about others.
"Brother Zhao! Are you still there? Brother Zhao? Lan Ling got up and walked out of the cave, feeling a commotion in his heart, not knowing what to do.
"How?" Zhao Yunxi walked in with a few pheasants. He almost collided with Lan Ling again. Lan Ling's blushing cheeks suddenly avoided Zhao Yunxi's gaze and said, "It's okay!" β
"Thank youββ!" Lan Ling covered his face with one hand and handed the beast clothes to Zhao Yunxi with the other.
"Brother Blue! How do you look like a girl! Zhao Yunxi laughed, took the beast clothes, and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will catch a cold, so I put on a beast clothes for you!" Is there anything so embarrassing? β
Zhao Yunxi didn't care about Lan Ling's blushing face at this time, but turned up the pheasant on the ground.
"This is the pheasant I just shot, do you want to exchange it for a few dollars?" Zhao Yunxi looked at Lan Ling on the side.
"That's it?"
"What? Are you too little? β
"Isn't it?"
"And why?"
"I don't think it's easy for this pheasant to live, so there's no need to hurt it! We can find odd jobs in the city to solve the problem of food and clothing. β
"Do you think finding odd jobs now is as easy as you think?" Zhao Yunxi seemed to have forgotten and said, "I'm sorry, I almost forgot that you are a healer, forgive me!" Forgiveness! β
"Brother Zhao is going to Yuzhou City?"
"Exactly! I don't know where Brother Lan is going? β
"I'm just a doctor, and I don't know where to go?"
"In that case, Brother Lan might as well go to Yuzhou City with me, and when I exchange some silver taels, I will take you to Fanfu. I'll introduce you to my friend, and I'll stay in her house for a few days. When you have a place to go, it's never too late to go! What's more, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards in this mountain stream, which is relatively safer than living in her house. I don't know what Brother Lan thinks? β
"I'm a healer, I'm afraid it's not good to go like this, right?" Lan Ling was a little restrained.
"That's fine, I can be rewarded with what I have, not to mention this beast robe! As far as I know, she is a person with a kind and compassionate heart, a helpful hand, a tolerant and tolerant heart, a virtuous and gentle, and an ice and snow smart person. I'm sure she doesn't care about that! β
Seeing that Zhao Yunxi was so obsessed, Lan Ling was a little unhappy, and said, "It seems that Brother Zhao still has a deep impression of her!" β
"Huh! To make a long story, I've only met her once. β
"It's so familiar when we meet once, it seems that Brother Zhao is still -"
"Brother Lan, don't say any more! I'm just talking about people, and I hope Brother Lan doesn't think too much, I don't mean anything else. Besides, what qualifications do I, a lowly person, have to match her! β
Seeing that Zhao Yunxi was in a somewhat depressed mood, Lan Ling said carefully: "Don't be like this! I'm just joking, don't take it too seriously. β
"No, I'm just telling the truth. After all, I still have a lot of things to solve, and I just don't want to bother others. Zhao Yunxi changed the topic and said, "I don't know what you think about?" β
"Brother Zhao has said so, how can I not go to reason?"
As soon as these words came out, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
The two entered the city, exchanged some money and bought some snacks, and then went to Fan's mansion.
The sky was blue, and white clouds were drifting in from afar.
The gentle wind blew the curtains around the pavilion, lifting half of the white veil under the watery cheeks. The slender jade hand slid between the lines, reading the gist of each poem.
"The rain that falls at night is in danger of life, and the blood drops are hard to find; Ten years of martial arts cultivation is hopeless, and Longquan is easy to understand. The confidante will never be forgotten, and there is no prosperous soul under the Longquan sword; Falling flowers and flowing water are in the past, and the world is peaceful. Ruoshui swept Zhao Yunxi's face, then looked at Lan Ling, and said to Zhao Yunxi with some restraint: "I heard about Zhao Gongzi's life experience and what happened in the past few days, this poem seems to coincide with Zhao Gongzi's life trajectory. If Ruoshui guessed correctly, this poem may be written in the first half of Zhao Gongzi's life. β
"Even if it's the first half of my life, why did I only encounter ten years of hopeless martial arts cultivation, but it was not reflected before and after?"
"Nope! The first half of your life has been fulfilled. Immediately, Ruoshui interpreted the poetry and said: "The night rain is dangerous, it is about the night when you were born with heavy rain in the sky, and you are in a situation of embattlement; The blood drop is hard to find, which means that the blood droplet enters your body from the center of your eyebrow and is linked to your fate; And ten years of martial arts cultivation is hopeless, which is also in line with the fact that your time in Xuanzhenmen is exactly ten years, and your master abolished the whole body martial arts. This dragon spring is easy to understand, and I am afraid that it will be because of the dragon spring and suffered another setback. The confidante will never be forgotten, and there is no prosperous soul under the Longquan sword; It means that you will have a confidant, and the two of you will die on the spot because of the Longquan Sword because you can't give up your heart. Falling flowers and flowing water are in the past, and the world is peaceful. These two sentences mean that if you want to restore peace to the world, one person must dieβ"
For some reason, when it came to this, Ruoshui seemed to have something on her mind and stopped, she looked worried and couldn't believe it. But it didn't show it in front of Zhao Yunxi and the others. Because she didn't want the two of them to know the secret of the last line of the poem.
"The falling flowers are obviously a sign of a fiasco. The past is destined to be a thing of the past. Ruoshui felt a lot in his heart, but he didn't tell the two of them the secret in his heart.
"I don't think this poem is what the girl said, maybe we all misunderstood it!" Seeing Zhao Yunxi's sad face. looked at Ruoshui again, as if he was absent-minded, so he diverted the topic and said to the two.
"Misunderstanding?"
Zhao Yunxi and Ruoshui couldn't believe it, and looked at Lan Ling together.
Although there are a few similarities in the previous half of the sentence, it is not necessarily about Brother Zhao. It's like the 'hopelessness in the past ten years of martial arts cultivation', how to explain it? Could it be that the martial arts cultivated in the past ten years have been in vain after all? After that, Lan Ling got up and looked at Zhao Yunxi, and said, "This jade ruin is one of the best figures among the four major sects, and it also defeated Tan Yang by his own means back then, causing him to flee in a hurry. Now that you're in the back of an unjust case, and the murderer is so obviously framing the blame, I don't think he won't fail to see it. Not to mention that the hard work of cultivating you for ten years was all due to the villain's tricks, and overnight, your whole body martial arts were abolished. He couldn't have been so stupid. I think that if he abolishes your whole body martial arts in front of all the disciples, I'm afraid it's just a trick. He will inevitably have a hand on you, and he swept you out of the house like this, I am afraid it is just an illusion for the gangsters. β
"According to what you say, my martial arts may not have been completely abolished by him." Between doubts, Zhao Yunxi looked at the stone in the distance. There was a certain amount of strength in his hands. He struck at the stone.
"Smack-"
The stone suddenly exploded, turned into white smoke, and disappeared before their eyes. At the same time, there was a flow of air throughout his body that slowly flowed to all parts of his body. Not only that, but it seems to be a step up from his martial arts when he was in Xuanzhenmen.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Yunxi looked at his ordinary hand, and said in disbelief: "Why didn't I feel it that day?" Could it be that the master was afraid that I would show his stuffing, so he sealed my martial arts? β
"Not only did he not abolish your martial arts, but he also taught you some. Presumably your master knows that the real murderer is not you, but someone else! β
"In this way, not all of what is written in this poem is correct." Zhao Yunxi seemed to think of something, and said, "If the water girl is known as Xiao Zhuge , presumably the divination technique should not be a problem, right?" β
"It's not a problem, it's just-"
"There seems to be something unspeakable, if the water girl might as well say it directly." Zhao Yunxi saw that Ruoshui was a little vague and said to him.
"I also learned a few points in an ancient book, but I never used it. First, this divination technique is taboo for women; Second, this divination is also a heavenly opportunity, and the light one will damage the yang energy, and the heavy one will be punished by heaven, soββ"
"In that case, then let me be the diviner, I wonder if it is feasible for the water girl?" Zhao Yunxi said without hesitation.
"You're a man, so that's not a problem. It's just that the hexagram is obscure and difficult to understand, and it is extremely inconvenient to operate. The diviner must have no distractions in order to succeed, otherwise it will be in vain. Ruoshui emphasized.
"That's not a problem." Zhao Yunxi said very simply.
[Question: 1, why did Zhao Yunxi mention Ruoshui, but Lan Ling had a little displeasure in his heart? Why?
2, is the poem mentioned by Zhao Yunxi really as Ruoshui said, a portrayal of Zhao Yunxi's first half of life? Why did the latter sentence make Ruoshui's heart worry? Who exactly does "falling flowers and flowing water" refer to? γ
