Chapter Eighty-Four: Curtain Call
With the piercing of this peach wood nail, you can even hear a terrible scream coming from Wang Meng's shoulder blades!!
Immediately afterwards, from the place where Wang Meng pierced into the peach wood nails, wisps of black breath suddenly appeared, and after these breaths came out, they seemed to be oil spots on the water surface of the bath bucket, forming a distorted human face, but the water of this bath bucket also had calamus and dogwood, which were stored in the evil and evil things, so they could not stay in the water for long, and could only turn into light smoke and drift away.
Then, Wang Meng continued to pierce the peach wood nails into his body, and it could be seen that this process was also very painful, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere, because pain was a necessary means to get rid of these damn evil qi! Moreover, although this method did not cause light damage to his body, it could only cure the symptoms and not the root cause, because a large amount of evil qi was still lurking in the chest and abdomen, and even the head, and it was impossible to pierce these places with peach wood nails.
However, on the whole, the effect of the dozen or so peach wood nails that Wang Meng pierced into the body is still very obvious, at least one third of the yin and evil qi in the body is removed, and the body is also a lot more flexible, however, the peach wood nails must be pierced into the body very deeply, and the better the effect of removal, therefore, the trauma suffered by the body in a short period of time is definitely not so easy to recover, which is equivalent to replacing external injuries with internal injuries.
In terms of long-term effects, this approach is undoubtedly correct, but in the short term, Wang Meng's combat power will further decline because of this matter!
After one-third of the yin and evil qi in the body has been removed. Wang Meng obviously felt a lot more relaxed, he stood up from the water and let out a long breath. Then he pulled out the peach wood nails on his body, and every time he pulled out one, he had to stop the bleeding immediately, but Wang Meng was operating this matter with one arm at this time, so he didn't seem to be very adaptable, and the speed of stopping the bleeding was also quite slow.
When more than a dozen peach wood nails were pulled out, Wang Meng's face was pale. Then he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath for a few moments. Only then did he stand up again, put on the newly prepared robe next to him, and found that it fit quite well, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
If Wang Meng was in his heyday. Then there will be suspicions here-Gu Yichuan said that this is his family's summer resort, so of course he will not stay here, and Wang Meng is burly, and ordinary people's clothes will only look too small on his body, how can he come up with clothes suitable for Wang Meng to wear?
Of course, it can also be said that there are people with a similar body shape to Wang Meng here, but although this statement can be explained, it is a coincidence that the probability is not large, even if it is not to turn his face on the spot. It will also make people vigilant, and Wang Meng actually just thinks that his disciple is very caring at this time, which shows that his vigilance has dropped very alarmingly.
After getting a qiē right. Only then did Wang Meng shake the bell and summon his subordinates. However, with the next person, there was Gu Yichuan, who brought a small servant, and on the red lacquer tray held by the servant, there was a blue and white porcelain bowl. There is a black medicinal juice inside, exuding a bitter smell.
Wang Meng can also refine pills. And the attainments are extraordinary, and he can be called a master, but the name of his national teacher is too loud and covers it up, so Wang Meng knows when he smells the smell that this bowl contains the ginseng soup made from the century-old mountain ginseng, stewed with the old hen, and there are auxiliary medicines such as Yuanzhi and Bai Ziren.
One qiē is very normal, the effect of ginseng hen soup is to nourish qi, tonic, Yuanzhi, Bai Ziren is to play a calming role, the effect of this prescription is to make people accept the medicine of the big tonic, and then have a good night's sleep, people in the sleep of the recovery speed is relatively fast, in this way, the two-pronged approach, is normal.
So Wang Meng brought the ginseng soup over, took a shallow sip, let it roll on the tongue, and analyzed the taste in it. As far as Wang Meng's physical condition is concerned, he really needs such a bowl of medicinal soup to replenish his Zhongqi.
"It's not bad, but the old ginseng is a little lower. Feeling the heat gushing out of his stomach trickling out, replenishing his near-dry vitality, Wang Meng suddenly felt that he could be said to be even more tired.
Gu Yichuan then took Wang Meng to a quiet room, there was no gorgeous decoration, but the bedding and sheets were new, and it could be seen that they had just been washed, very clean, and exuded a fresh smell after the sun, which was very in line with Wang Meng's taste, and he liked the feeling of his * skin rubbing against the clean bedding.
However, Wang Meng restrained himself from going to bed and falling asleep*, but looked at the futon next to him, and then said:
"I'm going to meditate, carry and pranayama. ”
"Huh?" Gu Yichuan said with some astonishment.
At this time, there was already an old man in linen clothes standing behind him, the old man's eye sockets were deeply sunken, obviously a blind man, and his finger joints were very thick, but the fingers were very thin and slender, which gave people a very powerful feeling at a glance, and the old man's attitude was humble and cautious.
Although Wang Meng almost guessed the identity of the old man, he still sent an inquiring look at Gu Yichuan, and Gu Yichuan immediately lowered his hand and said:
"This is my old servant Cui Daliang, who has been in my family for 50 years, and is very capable in massage, the disciple knows that the master is tired from the journey, and he also has this habit on weekdays, so he specially brought him over, but he didn't expect to delay the master's retreat, so the disciple retired. ”
Wang Meng's fame has shocked the world for 50 years, there must be a lot of dark wounds on his body, no matter how good the recovery is, when it rains, the seasons, and cloudy days, it must be a little sore, so after soaking in the hot springs, massaging the muscles and bones has become his habit, in fact, in the national teacher's mansion in Jingquan Hill, Wang Meng has invited four masters of traditional Chinese medicine massage and massage, not only to enjoy their services often, but also to let his disciples often go to recover fatigue. Loosen the muscles and bones, so Gu Yichuan will not arouse suspicion when he sends a masseur to his liking.
"Wait, wait. Seeing Gu Yichuan and the massage old man Cui Daliang, he bowed and wanted to leave. Wang Meng suddenly felt that his body was becoming more and more sore, and he was almost about to make a creaking rust sound as soon as he moved.
"What does it matter if you do a massage?" Wang Meng said in his heart.
So he said:
"Let him stay. ”
Gu Yichuan immediately bowed down and said:
"Yes. ”
Next, the old man took out an incense burner from the backpack he was carrying, fumbled around and placed it on a few tops, then sprinkled some spices into it, and then lit it. Suddenly, the lingering aroma filled the room, and Wang Meng smelled the smell. knew that it was the familiar Suhe fragrant wood, so he lay down on the bed with confidence and boldness.
Soon. He felt the old man's powerful fingers wedge deep into the gaps in his muscles, accurately plucking the meridians, pressing the acupuncture points, and kneading the muscles. Every powerful squeeze seems to be able to pinch out the exhaustion, such a technique can be said to be very rare, and it can prove that Gu Yichuan is not lying, this skillful technique can be said to be quite rare, and it cannot be taken without decades of accumulation.
However, with the skillful pressure of the old man, Wang Meng felt that his sleepiness was getting heavier and heavier, and his eyelids were almost fighting up and down, which was also normal. He came over all the way with a meal and a rough sleep, and he was already very tired, but at this time he was full and rested. It's people who feel sleepy
However, at this time, Wang Meng suddenly remembered something:
In the ginseng soup I drank before, Yuanzhi and Bai Ziren were added, which had the effect of helping sleep, and the cold dishes I ate before. Walnut crisp, black sesame lotus seed cake. There is also millet and red date porridge, all of which have the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep
The soho incense wood in the incense burner that the old man lit just now also has a strong calming effect!!
Is this a coincidence or artificial?
Wang Meng wanted to struggle to think about it carefully at this time, but the powerful sleepiness was already overwhelming, and he really couldn't hold back his sleepiness, and he had already fallen asleep with his head tilted, and in an instant, he was snoring like thunder.
A moment later, I saw a fireworks signal shooting out of Youquan Villa, which went straight to the sky, and then, a large number of people rushed over, surrounding the place.
When Wang Meng woke up again, he didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he was refreshed, fierce, and at the same time, he seemed to be so hungry that a cow could eat it!
So he instinctively wanted to reach for a glass of water to drink,
However, Wang Meng immediately realized that he couldn't move.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Meng's body stiffened for a long time, and then he slowly opened his eyes, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Because he understood why he couldn't move.
First of all, Wang Meng found himself tied to a chair, which was made of all wood, but this chair was made of 1,400 components of all sizes, using as many as 73 kinds of wood, and it took the thirteen elders of the Momen seven years to build.
The name of this chair is called the puppet chair.
It means that all the people who sit on this chair will become puppets of this chair and cannot move!
The battle for the fame of the puppet chair was when the David dynasty changed three hundred years ago, the young emperor wanted to be pro-government, and there was a fierce conflict with the ministers, well, it is similar to the copy between Kangxi and Ao Bai in the Lu Ding Ji.
It is said that the minister is also a member of the royal family, so to take an intuitive analogy, it is estimated that the strength of Qian Zhen, the prince of Wu, is about the same, but after he sat on this seemingly ordinary chair, he was trapped for thirty breaths!!
Thirty breaths of time, in the royal conspiracy of swords and swords, and rivers of blood, is enough to do too much!
So the fate of this powerful minister is to be chopped into mashed meat.
And Wang Meng was sitting on this world-famous puppet chair at this time, he was also deprived of dragon energy, he was still one-armed, and he still had internal injuries that had not healed.
But that's not the only restraint on him,
Wang Meng felt that his whole body was completely disobedient at this time, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a thin blue needle inserted into his shoulder. On his body, there were a total of thirteen similar fine needles pierced into his body, which was an untold secret of the Legalists. A chain of thirteen locks designed to deal with hard-fought and tenacious thieves!
Next, Wang Meng also saw his hands and feet tied with two gray ropes, he was well-informed, only felt that the wrists were cool, and the feet were hot, and a very well-known magic weapon immediately appeared in his mind, Sleepy Sky!
Reputedly. This is a magic weapon made from two dragon whiskers, one yin and one yang, and its role is not to "hurt". Rather, it lies in "sleepiness", which is a well-known magic weapon in the Yin-Yang school. If there is dragon qi in his body, then this magic weapon will not be difficult for Wang Meng, but the crux of the problem is that at this time, the title of national teacher has become a thing of the past. Wang Meng has completely broken up with Long Qi to say goodbye
And Wang Meng's mind was very clear at this time, and he saw the meaning behind these three things that trapped him, which meant that in dealing with himself, the three giants of Momen, Legalism, and Yin and Yang had joined forces!
There is a saying that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, if Wang Meng is still in his heyday and is still a national teacher, then even if the three giants join forces. Wang Meng also had the confidence to fight against them! However, the imperial court was on their side, and it was like drawing a salary from the bottom of the kettle. Immediately, Wang Mengzhong rebelled and left, and the trees fell and scattered! In this case, what confidence could he have?
At this time, Wang Meng looked around, and immediately determined that the place where he was should be in the palace of the capital of Eastern Xia, because other places would definitely not be decorated with dragon patterns on the pillars. Then I heard a creaking at the door, and then a stream of people rushed in. Immediately afterwards, two rows of palace ladies walked in and lined up, and the last person to step into it was a person Wang Meng was very familiar with.
Cui Wangnu.
Wang Meng looked at Cui Wangnu, there were all kinds of complicated emotions in his eyes, hatred, anger, and even bloody murderous aura, but in the end, the ripples like ripples gradually subsided, and finally lowered his eyes, sighed and said:
"Lao Chen is loyal to Dongxia, and has gone through hundreds of battles of life and death, all to defend the interests of his country, but why?"
Why does this sentence contain too many grievances and sadness!
Before Cui Wangnu could speak, a person was already standing behind her, it was the monarch Cui Jiang, he shouted angrily, and there was even a hint of childlike sharpness in that voice:
"You actually ask why??I want to ask you why!!Wang Meng, how old are you this year?"
Wang Meng was suddenly shocked, opened his mouth, but did not speak, Cui Wangnu said coldly to the left and right:
"You all stand down!"
Cui Jiang roared angrily:
"I'm here to answer for you! You're one hundred and seventeen years old this year! And it looks like you'll live another one hundred and seventeen years, but I'm only in my early twenties this year, and my body is so weak that I don't even have the ability to impregnate a woman! The longest life expectancy of the kings of my Cui family is only thirty-three years old! If you ask me why, I will ask you why!!"
"You said that you were born and died for the Eastern Xia Kingdom, but did the imperial court treat you badly? You are a very human minister, and when you see the king, you also have to appear as a master, not only have you taken away your reputation, but you are also a parasitic demon, absorbing life and luck from my Cui family all the time! You actually ask me why?"
Wang Meng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Cui Jiang coldly:
"This is what I deserve! This is the agreement between the founding king of your Cui family and me before, as long as I help him at that time, I will be given the position of national teacher!"
"But the ancestor is dead, and he has been dead for more than fifty years!"
"The debt of death is gone, and the agreement between him and you has lasted for four generations, and even our line is about to become extinct, why should I want my brother to repay this debt? It is impossible for my son to repay this debt! Even if the first king is reborn, I will not admit this rotten debt!"
Cui Jiang also roared with red eyes:
"Do you think you have done much for the country? Do you think you won't be able to do without the Eastern Xia Kingdom? Then the three kingdoms of Southern Zheng, Northern Qi, and the Middle Tang Dynasty have no national teachers, and they can't inherit the national ancestry? You are just an opportunistic and lucky bastard!!"
"Really?" Wang Meng suddenly looked at Cui Jiang and said coldly: "Very good, I can see that you hate me very much, come on, I'm here, do you dare to come over and kill me?"
Cui Jiang immediately pulled out the sword on his waist, this thing was the legendary Shang Fang sword, aimed at Wang Meng and walked over, but it could be seen that the closer he was to Wang Meng, the more the tip of the sword trembled, and the pace became slower and slower.
As the angry feelings in his heart were vented, Cui Jiang suddenly realized who the person in front of him was.
He is a national teacher, he is Wang Meng, the man who watched himself grow up, the man who is known as the double wall of the world, and the heroes of the world are almost breathless! At one point, he even had to hide behind him to have a sense of security.
Under such a prestige, such a precipitation for decades, and even through the memory of Cui Jiang's childhood and youth, what courage does Cui Jiang have to dare to raise his sword against the man in front of him!
He tried hard to step forward, and stabbed the man in the chest with a sword, but in fact his steps kept retreating.
Wang Meng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly:
"Hahaha, all of your family members are such waste, Zhida is talented, and you are a fool who will be cowardly when it comes to a critical moment, what's wrong with dying early?
Cui Jiang's whole body trembled violently, he had never suffered such a humiliation, he had never suffered such pain, because every word of the other party poked at his most painful place, making it difficult for him to breathe, and he even had a sharp pain that was torn off his skin to reveal a bloody *! His anger was completely nowhere to vent, he could only roar loudly like a wounded beast, cry bitterly and run out.
"It's really an out-and-out waste, and I don't even dare to kill someone. ”
Wang Meng laughed wildly with pleasure.
However, in the next second, Wang Meng's laughter came to an abrupt end, because the Cui family was not alone in this secret hall! There was also his sister Cui Ruoying! At this time, Cui Ruoying's hand was already holding a black cylinder, and the mouth of this cylinder was aimed at Wang Meng!!
The look in Wang Meng's eyes quickly dimmed, because Cui Ruoying's blue needles shot out of the tube had all hit his chest.
Cui Ruoying said coldly:
"Don't forget it, Master Guoshi, the Cui family has never relied on men to support it alone!"
Wang Meng's face quickly withered, his throat rattled, and his five fingers kept spasming, but at this time, he still insisted on:
"Cui Ruoying, even if I don't have credit for your Cui family, it's a little hard work, I've been making cattle and horses for your Cui family all my life!"
Cui Ruoying lowered her eyes and said:
"So after you die, we will not humiliate your corpse, and bury it according to the rites of the national teacher, so you can die with peace of mind. ”
Pink bubbles appeared at the corners of Wang Meng's mouth, and he hissed word by word:
"You answered my question, even if you take my corpse and feed it to the dogs!"
At this time, a voice suddenly said:
"I'm the one you're looking for!"
As he spoke, a person came out of the shadow next to him, it was Lin Fengjin.
"I guess you are also very curious, why the imperial court actually suddenly made a move on you, and even suddenly made a big move, uniting huge organizations such as the Yin and Yang Gate, the Legalists, and the Mo Family to deal with you, this way of doing things, and even making these intricate clues reach a consensus in just a few days, it should be very unfamiliar. If you don't understand the mastermind behind this scene, even if you die, you probably won't be able to see it!"
