Volume 1 Jin Bo Snow Carp Chapter 12 Life After Death
Shui Hanyan also glanced at Xiao Yunfan, and thought to himself: You must not let this stinky thief look down on you, but how should this wine be divided? After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said: "Don't forget it, don't forget it, I can't think of an answer, can you tell me how to divide it?"
Xiao Yunfan coughed and said, "If you tell you what your name is now, I'll tell you." Shui Hanyan blurted out: "My name is Shui Hanyan, now you know!" Xiao Yunfan smiled: "It turns out that your name is Shui Hanyan, it sounds pretty good!"
Shui Hanyan listened to his praise, secretly rejoiced in his heart, and said: "My name is good, and it is naturally a hundred times stronger than your Xiao Pofan." Xiao Yunfan pointed to his nose and said: "Hey, water girl, my name is Xiao Yunfan, but I am not Xiao Pofan. My name was given to me by my master from Li Bai's poems. ”
Shui Hanyan said with a smile: "Okay, Xiao Yunfan hero, now you can tell me how the shopkeeper poured four taels of wine for the guest." Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "For the sake of your face of calling me Xiao Daxia, I'll tell you." There are four steps in total:
The first step is to pour the eight taels of wine in the wine jar into the three taels of wine buckets, and then pour the three taels of wine buckets into the five taels of wine buckets;
The second step is to pour the remaining five taels in the wine jar into the wine bucket of three taels, and then pour the wine bucket of these three taels into the five taels, and then there is one tael left in the wine bucket of three taels;
The third step is to pour the five taels of wine into the wine jar again, and then pour the one or two of the three taels of wine into the five taels of wine buckets;
The fourth step is to pour the wine in the wine jar into the three taels of wine bucket to fill it, and finally pour the three taels of wine into the five taels of wine bucket, which is just four taels of wine. ”
Shui Hanyan shook his head and said, "You are talking about three taels and five taels like a tongue twister, and people are dizzy." ”
Xiao Yunfan woke up and said in his heart: Such a strange question is naturally difficult for other girls. Hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Water girl, what homework do you usually do in the Xuannu Palace?"
Shui Han said: "That's a lot." Our Xuannu Palace is divided into nine departments, and the lords of the nine divisions teach the disciples in the palace. In addition to practicing the martial arts, they also need to learn the six arts, six methods and eight techniques. ”
Xiao Yunfan admired it in his heart, and said secretly: Xuannu Palace is not a loss for the three authentic sects of the rivers and lakes. An ordinary disciple actually had to practice so many skills. I couldn't help but ask curiously: "I know the six arts, which are etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, but what are these six methods and eight techniques?"
Shui Hanyan said proudly: "The eight techniques are only the homework that can be practiced by second-class disciples, including chess, medicine, physiognomy, astrology, illusion, divination, Kanyu, and mechanism. The six laws are the subjects practiced by first-class disciples, including the law of construction, the law of agriculture, the law of politics and law, the law of commerce, the art of war, and the law of cooking. Xiao Yunfan listened, and secretly smacked his tongue and said: With so much knowledge, can one person finish learning?
While the two were talking, the sky suddenly became overcast, and a large dark cloud slowly moved from the southeast. The dark clouds seemed to be a cloud of ink smearing freely in the dome.
Xiao Yunfan stood up and said, "It's going to rain, you can go into the cave quickly." Shui Hanyan glanced up at the sky dome and said, "Yes! The two of them moved the fire and the grilled fish to the cave.
Soon after entering the cave, I saw a strong wind, and the trees on the opposite cliff swayed violently in the wind. The heavy raindrops of beans fell to the ground and turned into water spots the size of copper coins. The rain was swift and dense, and it was as if a curtain of water had been woven between heaven and earth.
Shui Hanyan saw Xiao Yunfan standing at the entrance of the cave and said busily: "Brother Xiao, you come in quickly." The wounds on your body have not healed, and you will not see such a strong wind. Xiao Yunfan heard him call him big brother for the first time, his face was stunned at first, and his heart was infinitely happy. Coupled with the fact that there was a lot of concern in her words, she said loudly: "It's okay, your medicine is good, my wound has healed." As he spoke, he turned his gaze into the distance.
There was a rumbling thunder, and a bright white lightning flew out of the clouds, and the lightning illuminated the surroundings snow-white. The rain was slanted by the wind, turning into fine gouache on Xiao Yunfan's face, and he felt extremely cool, allowing tiny droplets of water to flow down his forehead to his chin.
In the haze, I saw the big river, the waves rolled up, and the water was surging. After a while, the water poured onto the shore, and Xiao Yunfan's face changed: "It's not good! Shui Hanyan stood behind him, his face was pale, and he said lightly: "This, what can I do about this?"
Xiao Yunfan walked towards the stone bed and reached out to pull the stone button. The iron chain hung down again, Xiao Yunfan hurriedly tore off his shirt, tore it into strips of cloth, handed it to Shui Hanyan and said, "Wrap this strip of cloth around your hand, and then climb up along the chain." When I was about to reach the top of the cave, there was another stone cave on the side of the stone wall, and when I entered the stone cave, I was fine. ”
Shui Hanyan looked at Xiao Yunfan and said, "Then, what should you do?" Xiao Yunfan became anxious and shouted: "Hurry up, otherwise this water will pour into the hole, and neither of you and I will be able to live at that time." ”
Shui Hanyan bit his lip, hung the pearl around his neck, jumped up, held the chain with both hands, and climbed up. Xiao Yunfan said: "You go up first, I'll pick up these foods and come up in a while." ”
Sure enough, the river flooded ashore and approached the cave little by little. Xiao Yunfan's hands and feet were quite nimble, wrapped all kinds of important things into the baggage, hung them on his shoulders, and then picked up the scabbard and stuck it behind his back.
He was about to hold the chain and climb up, but unexpectedly, a large stream of water rushed into the hole like a beast, and hit the cave wall and splashed countless splashes. The water was so strong that it soon flooded the cave.
Shui Hanyan couldn't help but be scared when she was alone in the quiet room, although the night pearl on her chest shone faintly, she still felt scared. The coffin in front of him seemed to be ready to jump out of something terrible.
A heart pounded involuntarily, she had been with her sisters since she was a child, and she had rarely been alone, but now she was more and more afraid. A pair of wonderful eyes stared at the entrance of the cave tightly, praying in his heart: Brother Xiao, you won't have an accident, right? You, you must be safe.
Just as she was engrossed in praying, Xiao Yunfan crawled out of the hole. Before he could stand still, Shui Hanyan stared for a moment, and suddenly, he threw himself into his arms and cried. Xiao Yunfan was at a loss, slowly stretched out his palm, gently stroked her hair, and said softly: "Water girl, don't be afraid, Brother Xiao is here." Shui Hanyan heard his voice, but cried even harder, and the clothes on Xiao Yunfan's chest were wet with her tears.
Shui Hanyan snorted and said, "Xiao ...... Brother Xiao, I thought I would never see you again. Xiao Yunfan gently patted her back and smiled: "Silly girl, Brother Xiao's life was saved by you, and I haven't had time to pay you back, how can I be willing to die? Besides, I am a blessed jade lion, and with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, it is impossible for me to die! Okay, don't cry." ”
Shui Hanyan touched the tears on his face and said, "Xiao ...... Brother Xiao, there is a coffin here, I'm so scared!" Xiao Yunfan said: "Don't be afraid, with Brother Xiao here, any demons and monsters will flash me aside!"
It took a long time for Shui Hanyan to stop crying. Suddenly found that he was in Xiao Yunfan's arms, his nose was full of strong manliness, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
She raised her head and said, "Brother Xiao, the cave below has been flooded, how should we get out now?" Xiao Yunfan raised his chin and said to the coffin: "Whether we can leave this time or not depends on this coffin." Shui Hanyan said in surprise: "Coffin, could it be that there is a passage to other places in the coffin?" Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said, "That's not true, but we really have to rely on this coffin if we want to leave here." ”
Shui Hanyan said strangely: "Could it be that the dead man in the coffin will help us." Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "You can also say that! I found this tomb when I came last time. This burial chamber was built on the top of that cave, and how this coffin came to be, I had been thinking about it before, but today I finally figured it out. There are a lot of hanging coffins on the cliff opposite, I don't know if you have seen it. To transport this coffin to the cliff face hundreds of feet high, it is not human, but requires the help of water. Whenever the river floods, the water level rises. If the water rises halfway up the cliff, it will not be a problem to dig a burial chamber for the hanging coffin. And this coffin can be used as a boat, as long as we hide in the coffin and then find a way to let the coffin fall into the river, we can leave this place. It's a risky move, but there's no other way. ”
After a while, Xiao Yunfan arranged the coffin properly, and the two of them lay down like coffins. It turned out that this cave had another secret room, and the other secret room had an open-air platform. Xiao Yunfan pushed the coffin onto the platform, half hanging in the air and half against the ground. When everything was ready, he kicked the heavy object to the end of the coffin. The tail of the coffin became heavier and heavier, the coffin shook violently, and with a thud, the coffin fell from the platform into the river.
The coffin kept flowing down the river, and I don't know where it went. Shui Hanyan was very scared in her heart, and her hand held Xiao Yunfan's hand tightly. The river was rough and the coffin floated on the surface of the water and was pushed forward by the torrent. Ahead was a cliff, and the coffin was thrown into the air by the force of the current, and then quickly fell into a deep pool, splashing countless waters, and after a long time, slowly emerging from the bottom of the water.
Xiao Shui and the others had already fainted in the coffin. Xiao Yunfan was the first to wake up, only to feel a splitting headache, and in the dark, he used all his strength to kick on the coffin lid. The lid slammed, flew halfway into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The sun was dazzling, and Xiao Yunfan jumped out of the coffin. He looked around and there was a large waterfall not far away, and below it was a huge pool. And the coffin was washed along the river to the shore.
This time he escaped death, his heart was extremely happy, and he roared three times at the sky. Shui Hanyan was woken up by this whistling sound, turned over and sat up. looked at Xiao Yunfan and said, "Brother Xiao, we are not dead?"
Xiao Yunfan said happily: "Yes! Finally, God favors us, we will not die!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Shui Hanyan out of the coffin.
Shui said with a smoke: "Brother Xiao, where are we going next?" Xiao Yunfan pointed to the woods next to him and said: "Girl Shui, let's go out from this woods, if we find the way, send you back to your master's side." Shui Hanyan lowered his head and said, "What about you?" Xiao Yunfan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The Bashan bloody case has no clue so far, and now I have to continue to investigate this matter." ”
The two of them followed a path into the woods. Shui Hanyan walked very slowly, and she thought to herself: It would be good if I returned to Master and them, but I was a little reluctant to part with Brother Xiao. If I say that the days I spend with my master and sisters are much longer than the days with Brother Xiao, why can't I let go of it so much in my heart?
Xiao Yunfan didn't notice the difference in her expression, just thought she was tired. Then he said: "Sister Shui, I think you are probably tired, let's rest for a while." Hearing him say this, Shui Hanyan couldn't ask for it.
The two rested for a moment and walked out of the woods. At this time, a mountain wall blocked the way for the two. Xiao Yunfan raised his eyes and saw three vigorous and powerful characters engraved on the mountain wall: Cui Weiju. Xiao Yunfan raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Sister Shui, have you seen this word?"
Shui Hanyan said suspiciously: "Look, I see, what's the mystery of these three words?" Xiao Yunfan said: "The first thing I did when I came down from Bashan this time was to find this Cui Weiju. The owner of Cuiweiju is called Mo Ion, and he is a master of organs. I didn't expect him to live in seclusion here. ”
There was a stone gate in front of the mountain wall, about eight or nine zhang high. Xiao Yunfan walked to the stone gate and said loudly: "Junior Xiao Yunfan pays a visit to Senior Mo. He said it first, and no one answered the door. Until he said it for the third time, an old voice came from mid-air and said: Distinguished guests, please go back, there is no Mo ion here.
Xiao Yunfan said again: "The senior is the apprentice of the old man of Tianxing, and if you have something important to see, I hope that the seniors will give you a meeting!"
After a while, the stone door clicked up, and out of it came a small, gray-haired old woman. He was about seventy years old, and his face was wrinkled and wrinkled, like pine bark. There is a silk peony in the sideburns.
I saw her slowly walking to the door of the cave and looking at Xiao Shui and the others. He asked in a deep voice, "Who is Xiao Yunfan between the two of you?"
Xiao Yunfan clenched his fists and smiled: "Back to the seniors, the kid is Xiao Yunfan." ”
The old woman waved her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Go back, my husband has been dead for three years." If you still want to ask him for help, you have to go to the Yama Temple to find him. The old body lives in seclusion here, and he is used to being pure. I don't like to be disturbed by outsiders. Now that I see you, I have made an exception, and if you are interested, leave quickly. Xiao Yunfan was surprised: "Ah......?
The old woman ignored him, turned and walked slowly towards the door. Xiao Yunfan hurriedly caught up and said loudly: "Senior, please stay, the juniors still have important things to ask for." ”
The old woman glared at him, already displeased, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the friendship between the old ghost of Tianxing and his husband, the old man would not have bothered to take care of you." I have already said very clearly, are you deaf or stupid? The husband is no longer alive, you naturally came to look for him, he is gone, what you ask for is said to the old body, there is a fart. Interesting, get out of here, don't bother me, otherwise the old woman will be angry, and the big ears will be full!"
Xiao Yunfan hurriedly said: "Senior ......"
