Chapter 17: Monk's Eyes (5)
It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was dark. One old and one young start to get busy early. Bai Yixue cleaned the house spotlessly, and helped Baili to make a table of dishes together. At the end of the day, the sky became more and more gloomy, and there was a faint sound of firecrackers in the distance. The two went outside the door to let off the firecrackers, and returned to the house to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
When she entered the house, Bai Yixue added atractylodes to the incense burner, and secretly prayed in her heart: "This thing can remove evil qi and eliminate calamity." I wish Master and his old man, as well as Ling'er, Mr. Shi, and the sister of the Shen family, all smooth and healthy in the new year, especially the sister of the Shen family, who is auspicious and natural, and her body will get better as soon as possible. ”
Baili Dye inserted three sticks of incense in the incense burner, bowed a few times, and said: "Today is the death day of Marshal Yue Pengju, Xue'er, you can also put on a few sticks of incense." ”
Bai Yixue replied: "Yes!" respectfully saluted three sticks of incense in the incense burner.
At the time of the lamp, the small wooden table was full of steaming wine and food, and the old and the young were drinking while picking up some anecdotes on the rivers and lakes to talk about, and before they knew it, they had seen the bottom of two pots of wine. When the two were drunk and hazy, it was late at night, and the new year was approaching.
Baili sighed: "Over the years, I have spent the New Year alone, and it is very cold. Cher, this year, I have the happiest time to have you with me. ”
Bai Yixue didn't know why he had been widowed, and wanted to open his mouth to inquire, but when the words came to his mouth, he finally swallowed it back, and said with a smile: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, it's better for seniors to move back to Lin'an to live, not only can you get together with friends from time to time, but also when you want to meet the Queen Mother, it's also more convenient." ”
Baili Wanran was noncommittal, stood up, took a brand new dress from the baggage, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, this is the cloth I pulled in Yitai Buzhuang in Lin'an City, looking for the most famous 'Pan Yi Cut' in the city, Pan Da Tailor made it for you, you can wear it and try it, and see if it fits or not?"
Bai Yixue didn't expect to go to Lin'an for a hundred miles, and in such a tight schedule, she even bought new clothes for the New Year for herself, and a warmth surged in her heart, and she took the new clothes in her hand, and instantly burst into tears.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Bai Yixue added pine wood to the pot, and the small stone house was as warm as spring. An old man and a young man sat around the table, ate the night fruit, and kept the New Year together.
Bai Yixue has been in her own memory, it is the first time in her life, she has not kept the New Year with her master, and it is also the first time in her life that she has been separated from her teacher for so long. This time, I was very happy to celebrate the New Year with Baili Dye, although I was also very happy, but when I thought of my teacher, and then thought of the rest of my body, I was inevitably unhappy, and I couldn't help but think of Ouyang Xiu's two poems: "I heard that I was homesick at night, and I felt beautiful in the New Year." ”
The next day was Xinzheng, the sky was not clear, Bai Yixue took the portraits of the two door gods, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, came to the outside of the house, and prepared to post them on the wooden door. On the portrait, Shen Tu and Yu Lei are both armoured and wielding, and their majesty is extraordinary, but Shen Tu's face is heroic, and Yu Lei's appearance is very vicious. He looked at the portrait of the two gods, bowed respectfully a few times, and prayed silently in his heart: "The two immortals, from now on, I will work hard for you to suppress demons and dispel demons, drive away evil spirits, and bless the ancestors of Baili from the invasion of evil spirits again." ”
Letting go of the cannon battle that opened the door, Bai Yixue looked at the broken red all over the ground, smelled the smell of saltpeter and sulfur in the air, and couldn't help but think of the scene when the master took him to set off firecrackers when he was a child, and his heart was full of memories. He was contemplating to himself, when he heard Baili Dyed in the house and said, "Xue'er, I'll go lie down for a while, and you can eat breakfast by yourself." There was a tiredness in his voice.
Bai Yixue responded: "Yes." Pondering: "The predecessors of Baili are finally old people, and they haven't slept all night, coupled with the hard work, the body and bones are a little unbearable." After he had served Baili Wanran and lay down, he ate a few bites indiscriminately, and then sat cross-legged on his little bed, closing his eyes and recuperating.
I don't know how long it took, and the white clothes suddenly heard an extremely subtle "da-da" sound. He was curious, opened his eyes, and found that the sound was coming from the bed that was dyed for hundreds of miles, and thought secretly: "In broad daylight, there are rats coming out to steal food?" He put on his shoes and got up to check, but when he saw that he was lying in his face, the sound of "da-da" seemed to come from his mouth. Bai Yixue was secretly frightened, tiptoed to the bed, leaned down, and realized that the subtle sound was actually a hundred miles of dyed teeth trembling.
Bai Yixue was taken aback, and secretly thought: "Could it be that Baili seniors were infected with wind and cold on the road?" Bai Yixue stretched out his hand to probe his forehead, which was dyed for hundreds of miles, and this touch made him stand on the ground, and his brain was blank. It turned out that he thought that Baili was dyed with wind and cold, and the corners of his forehead were hot, but when he touched it, it was cold to the touch, as if he had touched a piece of cold iron: "What's wrong with Baili senior?"
Suddenly, a thought popped up in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder: "Poisoned?" Thinking of this, he trembled with his hands and feet, leaned over and gently shook his shoulder, and shouted: "Senior, senior, wake up......"
After shaking it for a few moments, Baili Wanran turned over, opened his eyes slightly, and said vaguely: "Hmm...... It's Cher...... What time is it?"
The two of them were face to face, Bai Yixue looked at it carefully, and he was so shocked that he almost cried out, it turned out that his face was faintly covered with a layer of green smoke, which was very terrifying. He forced himself to calm down, looked at the sky outside the window, and said in a trembling voice: "It's almost noon, senior...... How does it feel?"
Baili Wanran's eyes were a little confused, wrapped the quilt tightly, and asked, "Is it snowing outside......?" Cold ......"
Bai Yixue saw that the green qi on his face was slowly fading, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it again, the green qi was indeed lighter, and secretly comforted himself: "Could it be that I am suspicious, and my predecessor is just suffering from the cold?" I'll go and make some fires. ”
With a "hmm" sound, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep. Bai Yixue didn't dare to be careless anymore, and after adding to the fire, she sat quietly on the edge of his bed, listened carefully to his long and even breathing, and settled down a little: "Baili seniors are invincible, who can secretly poison him? Even if someone wants to poison him, how can they not be aware of it?" Thinking of this section, most of his doubts disappeared, and after sitting for a long time, he gradually felt that his eyes were tired, his hands were on his knees, and he was groggy and dozed off.
In a trance, he suddenly heard Baili say in his ear: "Xue'er." Bai Yixue was startled, suddenly sobered up, opened his eyes, but saw that he had already sat up, although his face was not full of green gas, but his face was as heavy as water, his eyes were cold, and he looked worried.
Bai Yixue knew that something was wrong, calmed down, and asked, "Are you hungry senior?"
Baili Wanran shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "Xue'er, the situation seems to be a little wrong. ”
Bai Yixue "chuckled" in her heart and asked, "What...... Something is wrong?"
Baili Dye's expression became more and more solemn, and said, "Xue'er, I dare to be ...... After being poisoned, the true qi in the body is not mentioned at all......"
Bai Yixue was shocked and shouted, "How could you be poisoned?......?" That's ...... How is it good?" was already a cry in his voice.
Baili Wanran smiled slightly and comforted him: "I can't die for a while." Xue'er, I'm going to do some work, you go and guard the door for me. ”
Bai Yixue felt that his smile was a little strange, and she was even more uneasy, so she quickly stood up and choked up, "Yes, yes." Senior, yes...... Who...... Poisoned?"
Baili Dye smiled slightly bitterly, and then his eyes hung down the curtain, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he sat up. Seeing this, Bai Yixue collected her tears, slowly withdrew from the stone house, and stood outside the door to concentrate on guard.
Although he stood still, his thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down. When he was in Baoshan, he was the only one who got along with each other, and the wine and food he ate were all bought from the market town by himself, and after eating them himself, there was nothing unusual, so it can be seen that there was no doubt about these wines and dishes. Then it will only be a hundred miles of dyeing on the way to Lin'an, and someone will plot against it. After thinking about it, a person suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. That person is Zhao Xuan, the king of Enping County.
Recalling that in Lin'an City, he has been living in Chengkun's home, and he has not gone out, and the only banquet he went to was Enping Palace. But Zhao Xuan has been familiar with Baili since he was a child, and his feelings are very deep, why does he want to harm Baili Dandy?
A cold wind blew, and a flash of inspiration flashed in Bai Yixue's mind: "It's Tang Wai!" Thinking of this person, he suddenly felt a cold wind skull, and a chill hit his whole body: "It's Tang Wai! He was employed by Enping Palace, even if Zhao Xuan didn't mean to hurt Baili's predecessors, with this person's poisoning ability, he could also do it without knowing it......
Thinking of this, Bai Yixue only felt that her eyes were black, and her brain was dizzy: "Yes, it's him! It's him! Baili seniors just responded to Zhao Xuan's invitation and went to the palace, so they won't be on guard, so this is ...... gave Tang Wei an opportunity to take advantage of...... The poison of the Tang Sect is unparalleled in the world, and even if the predecessors of Baili have the incorruptible body of King Kong, they are afraid that they are also ...... Bad luck and little ......"
He thought about it for a while, and felt remorse in his heart: "A while ago, the Three Absolute Masters of the Western Regions coveted the "Jinlan Notebook", and Tang Wei also came with him, hiding in the dark and suddenly casting a cold arrow, almost killing the predecessor of Baili, this person's yin eagle is vicious, which can be seen from this. Baili senior went to Lin'an this time, why didn't I insist on going with him at that time? He was invited by Zhao Xuan to a banquet, and if I was around, I had a reminder. ”
He stood there, his heart tumbling over, unable to calm down: "What kind of poison is Tang crying about? With the supernatural powers of his predecessors in a hundred miles, if there is poison in the food, how can he not be aware of it? How can ordinary poison hide from his eyes? Could it be...... Could it be ......?"
He looked up and saw that the sky was as black as ink, and he saw that a rain was coming. Suddenly, a stirring spirit in his mind reminded him that Tang Zhuo had said that Tang Wai had taken away the Buddha's head and the monk's eyes before Tang Jiabao left. With the martial arts cultivation that has been dyed for hundreds of miles, ordinary poisons have been detected by him before they are even eaten, even if they are eaten by mistake, it will be difficult to hurt their bodies, and if they want to take his life, they must have a highly poisonous and fierce medicine. Now the poisoning situation that has been infected for hundreds of miles is very different from the Buddha's head green, could it be that the monk's eyes are blue? Thinking of this, a chill poured down from his back. After a while, he took out the book of "Jinlan Notebook" from his arms, turned to the section of Shuzhong Tangmen in the chapter of "Hidden Weapons", and found the record of the monk's eye, only to see that the text reads:
"It is rumored that the monk's eyes are poisonous, and the middle one has no intimidation, but he is relieved. When he died, his eyes were slightly closed, and he smiled, just like an old monk who passed away, and he was free to die in bliss. Yu pondered its name 'monk eye blue', and covered this meaning. This poison is poisonous, and the medicine stone is ineffective. ”
Looking down again, the more Bai Yixue looked, the more frightened he became, the book said, although the fierceness of the monk's eyes is not as good as the Buddha's head green, but this poison has five flavors and colors, and when the poisoned person is aware of it, the poison has invaded the viscera and qi and blood, even the gods can not save it.
Bai Yixue looked at it, was stunned for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't wait to push the door into the house immediately, and asked what was going on in front of Baili Quandye, but in the stone house, Baili Quanzhi was using power to fight poison, and there must not be a little bit of difference.
He was very anxious, but he didn't dare to break in recklessly, and for a while, he couldn't calm down for a long time, so he paced back and forth outside the house, thinking hard about a good plan.
This is more than an hour. Suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and he raised his eyes to see thick black clouds, gradually obscuring the sky in the distance, and the cold wind rustled the pine forest. Just when he was anxious, Baili Dye in the house said in a low voice: "Xue'er, you come in." ”
Bai Yixue listened to his calm voice, and her heart was a little fixed: "The predecessors have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, even if it is a powerful poison in the world, maybe they can find a way to resolve it." The poison of the Blood Transformation Divine Knife on my body was dissolved by his skillful hands, didn't he also turn the danger into a disaster?" replied in a loud voice: "Yes." Pushing the door into the house, I saw that hundreds of miles were dyed with the spirit of the Yuanshen, sitting cross-legged on the bed, and his face was the same, but he looked a little pale.
Bai Yixue's heart was even wider, and she said softly: "Seniors are ...... right now How does it feel?"
Baili was depressed, and said slowly: "I don't know what the origin of this poison is, it's very weird." I have been working for half a day, but it is difficult to do it with internal breath, and it seems to be completely fruitless, which is quite tricky. ”
Bai Yixue was secretly frightened, and asked cautiously, "Can the seniors have ...... The solution?"
Baili was dyed with frowning eyebrows, and sighed: "This poison came very strangely, so that the qi sea in the body suddenly changed, although the true qi was full and surging, but there was a feeling of emptiness, it was difficult to mention, it was really strange." ”
Bai Yixue pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Could it be...... The monks of the Tang Sect are blue-eyed?"
Baili's expression changed immediately, and he asked, "How can you see the monk's eyes?"
Bai Yixue has been with Baili since he got along, he has a calm demeanor, joy, anger and sorrow rarely enter his chest, and he has never had such a suspicious look, and he feels even more terrified in his heart, thinking that when life and death are at stake, he can't hide it at all, so he said his worries, and turned out the text about the monk's eyes in the "Jinlan Notebook", and pointed it out to Baili Dye to read.
After seeing it for hundreds of miles, he was silent for a long time, although his face was silent, but he was frightened: "Monk's eyes are highly poisonous in the world, and I haven't heard of people who have been poisoned, and they can survive, how can this be good? How can I be so careless?" The old man had only heard about it before, but he didn't expect to suffer from it today, hehe. ”
Bai Yixue saw that there seemed to be an indescribable sadness in his eyes, and thought: "Baili's predecessor knew that he was in Zhao Xuan's mansion and was plotted by Tang Wei, and he must have been extremely sad in his heart. He comforted: "The predecessors can dissolve the poison of the Blood Transformation Divine Knife in my body, and I want to come to this monk's eyes...... It can also be resolved. ”
Baili Ran nodded and said, "Well, I'm not feeling strong, this poisonous fruit is powerful." Let me think about it slowly. But in his heart, he was compassionate: "Don't say that the toxicity of the two poisons is completely different, just if you are hit by this world's first-class poison, you will only realize at this time, I am afraid that you have already missed the best time to poison." Then he thought: "The toxicity of this poison is the best in the world, and it is colorless and tasteless, which is really unguardable." ”
Bai Yixue saw that he was worried, obviously he was not half sure in his heart, and couldn't help clenching his fists, and said: "Senior, if it is difficult to resolve the toxin of this monk's eye for a while, we simply go to Enping Wangfu, find the door, and ask him Zhao Xuan and Tang Wei for an antidote, and see if he gives it or not." ”
Baili thought to himself: "It is clearly written in the book, 'This poison is poisoned in the world, and the medicine stone is ineffective.'" Even if Tang Cry has an antidote, when he arrives in Lin'an, I'm afraid it's too late. He smiled bitterly and said, "Let's think about it in the long run." ”
In the next few days, in addition to eating and sleeping, he was alone in the stone house, meditating how to dissolve the toxins of the monk's eyes. Bai Yixue waited cautiously beside him, seeing that he had been frowning for several days, as if he had not been able to find a cure for poisoning, although he was worried, he had no choice but to pray silently for the blessing of the gods every day.
In a blink of an eye, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, after dyeing for a hundred miles, he called the white-clothed snow into the house and said, "Xue'er, how long have you been away from the snow mountain?"
Bai Yixue thought about it for a while and said, "It's been half a year." ”
Baili Wanran nodded and said, "Okay." Xue'er, the poison of the Blood Transformation Divine Knife in your body has been almost removed, and in the future, you only need to diligently practice the mental method of participating in the Divine Skill, and you can be worry-free. Tomorrow, you will set off to visit the owner of Fubi Villa, the owner of Zhong Villa, and the owner of Cangjia Villa, so that you can recover your master's order as soon as possible. ”
Bai Yixue was slightly stunned and said, "Senior, your body ...... Are you okay?" The poison of the Blood Transformation Divine Knife that tortured him to death and life has been dissolved, and he should have been very happy in his heart, but he couldn't be happy when he thought that he was infected with injuries for hundreds of miles.
Baili Wanran smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me." Xue'er, you are going to Fubi Villa and Cangjia Villa, well, there is nothing at the owner of Lu, but you have arrived at Fubi Villa...... You also have to be cautious and don't be careless. ”
The white-clothed Xue Qi said: "Could it be that Zhong Shibo's Fubi Villa has caused some trouble?"
Baili said lightly: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable." When you see the owner of Zhong Mobi Zhong Zhuang, you must pay more attention to save yourself from troubles and mistaken by your master. ”
Bai Yixue looked embarrassed, so she had to reply, "Yes, I wrote it down." Secretly thought: "Zhong Shibo and Master are like brothers, and they don't have anything to do with me." Baili's predecessors are indifferent by nature, and they never haunt everything, but for some reason, they have always had a grudge against Zhong Shibo. He asked, "I don't know what the seniors are planning?" Why don't I accompany you to Lin'an City first? I happen to be in Lin'an City, and I still have ...... One or two friends, go and separate with them. ”
Baili said: "No need, I'm used to staying here for a long time, and I'm not used to going to a place that is too lively." ”
Bai Yixue was overjoyed, and thought: "The predecessor is a miracle, and these days, he must have come up with a way to resolve the monk's eyes." said: "You don't go to Lin'an City, are you ...... Is it all right?"
Baili was dyed and smiled silently. Seeing that he was smiling a little strangely, Bai Yixue felt uneasy in her heart, and persuaded: "Although this place is secluded, it has been explored by the Condor Fang. As the saying goes, 'open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent', although the predecessors are not afraid of them, it is better to avoid them for the time being. ”
Baili said: "Well, let's discuss this matter again." He took out a book from his arms, and the cover of the book was yellow, showing that it was very old, and said: "Xue'er, this is my Uncle Jiang's "Jinlan Notebook", and I handed it over to you today, and it can be regarded as returning to its original owner. ”
Bai Yixue was taken aback, waved her hand again and again, and said, "I can't help it...... I can't do it...... Don't ...... it"
Baili Ran grabbed his right hand, stuffed the "Jinlan Notebook" into his hand, and said with a smile: "Why can't you do it? This book has a deep relationship with your four major mountain villas, and I should return it, besides, I will rest assured that it will be handed over to you." Cher, you must take care of it so that it does not fall into the hands of the wicked. ”
Bai Yixue pushed but said: "Seniors are wise and unique, the "Jinlan Notebook" is in your hands, so you can make good use of things, the kid is stupid and stubborn, put it here with me, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Baili said: "Since the publication of this book, it has been extremely bumpy, and today it can be returned to the old master, isn't it providential? ”
Seeing his resolute attitude, Bai Yixue had to accept it, and secretly thought: "I will keep it for the time being, and when I return to the snow mountain in the future, I will hand it over to the master and ask him to decide." The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he couldn't help but be suspicious: "The predecessor is so good, why did he suddenly hand over the "Jinlan Notebook" to me?
Baili was dyed and advised: "With all due respect, among the four major villas, there are also many unscrupulous people. Cher, you have to be more cautious with them, this book must not be leaked easily. ”
Bai Yixue responded: "Yes." I made a note of it. After a pause, he asked, "Senior, haven't you found the solution to the monk's eye?"
Baili smiled and did not answer. Bai Yixue saw behind his smile, it was difficult to hide his feelings, and immediately understood that his move had the intention of entrusting the future, his face turned red, and he said loudly: "Senior, we will leave for Lin'an City tomorrow to find Zhao Xuan for an antidote, if he refuses, I will turn his palace upside down." ”
Baili Wanran shook his head slightly and said, "Xue'er, don't mess around." There is life and there is death, and it is not fate to die sooner. People always die, and they can't come by reluctantly. ”
Bai Yixue burst into tears and shouted: "I don't care, I don't care, I want to be reluctant! Whoever harms you, I'll go to him, it's a big deal that everyone will fight to the death!"
Seeing that he was in a hurry, he looked like crazy, and his heart was greatly moved: "Xue'er has true feelings for me, maybe she will really go to Enping Mansion to make a big fuss." Then he thought, "It's just something else, if it's disturbing because of this...... The Queen Mother's Holy Body, she was already in poor health, isn't it so bad? How can this be good?" Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind, beckoned and said, "Xue'er, come here." ”
Bai Yixue stepped forward according to her words. Baili Wanzhi muttered: "Xue'er, the poison of the monk's eyes is not irresolvable......"
When Bai Yixue heard this, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and shouted happily: "Really, great, how should this poison be resolved?"
Baili Dan Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "If I can get your help, I should be able to resolve it." ”
Bai Yixue was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked how to help, only saying that even if he was asked to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he would never give up. Baili said with a smile: "You don't have to. He sat cross-legged on the bed and sat across from him.
Baili looked at him for a long time, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, you and I are facing each other, and after a while, I will urge the true qi to enter your body, and the toxins of the monk's eyes will also flow into your body, are you afraid?"
Bai Yixue puffed up her chest and said categorically: "I'm not afraid, although my predecessor is lucky!" thought to herself: "You saved my little life, even if I return it to you today, what about it?"
Baili Yanzhi's eyes were soft, and he muttered: "Good boy, good boy...... " He muttered alone for a moment, raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like electricity, and said in a deep voice: "Xue'er, you close your eyes, I'm going to do the gong!" No matter what happens after a while, you must remember not to open your eyes, not to speak, and not to move, so as not to hurt yourself. ”
Bai Yixue responded: "Yes!"
He was sitting in a precarious position, closed his eyes, stretched out his arms forward, and suddenly felt that his palms were hot, and his palms were against his palms, followed by two internal forces, coming from the palms of the palms, slowly rising along his arms, the heat was like two warm currents, turning around the whole body along the meridians, up and down the body, instantly like sitting in the spring breeze, indescribable comfort.
After half an hour like this, two mellow warm currents swirled in Bai Yixue's body, moistening his body, making him only feel clear inside and outside, giving birth to a sense of tranquility and emptiness, and his heart was mellow.
Just as Bai Yixue felt melted, her heart suddenly moved: "Baili senior said that I would help him heal the poison, why do I have such a wonderful feeling?"
Bai Yixue couldn't help but open his eyes, and the scene in front of him suddenly frightened his face like dirt, his tongue stiffened, and even his jaw almost fell off.
