Xiao Yunfan took a thick shirt and put it on Shui Hanyan, and then said: "Sister Shui, this raft can't be built for a while, you don't have to worry about me, you are tired, go to sleep." ”

Shui Hanyan shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, I want to talk to you." Otherwise, you'll be bored alone. Xiao Yunfan raised his head and said with a smile: "Girl, your eldest brother has received it, but you are injured, so you should rest more." Shui Han said: "Aren't you also injured, and you haven't rested." ”

Xiao Yunfan frowned, shook his head helplessly, and stopped persuading. Suddenly, he pointed to the pine wood on the ground and said, "Sister Shui, I'll teach you, if you don't use a rattan rope, can you have a way to connect this pine one by one?"

Shui Hanyan lowered his head and thought about it, and said slowly: "No rope." Then you have to use glue paint. Xiao Yunfan said: "What if you don't use glue paint?" Shui Hanyan's eyes widened and said: "If you don't use glue paint, you can only use wedges and steel nails." Xiao Yunfan smiled: "What if you don't use glue paint or wedges?" Shui Hanyan smiled: "You really stumped me, no ropes, no glue paint, and no wooden wedges, unless the gods came." Xiao Yunfan stretched out his finger and pointed to his nose and said, "In this way, I am this fairy pull!" Shui Hanyan shook his head, expressing disbelief.

Xiao Yunfan picked up a small piece of wood, put it in his hand and checked it, and then said: "Neither glue paint nor wedges, there is only one way to connect these pine woods, and that is mortise and tenon." The tenon refers to the protruding part of an object, and the tenon is the grooved part of another object, as long as the concave and convex parts of two objects are put together, it will be extremely strong. I saw him gently press the swallowtail-shaped piece of wood and insert it into the groove of another piece of wood. Then he handed Shui Han a cigarette and said, "You can try to take this little thing apart." ”

Shui Hanyan took the gadget and put it in the palm of his hand, and then pinched the swallowtail-shaped wood with his thumb and forefinger to take it out, but it took a long time, but he still couldn't do it.

She glanced at Xiao Yunfan, saw that he was sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you wipe your sweat first, I didn't expect you to know so much, such an ingenious method was taught to you by your master?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "No, I learned it myself." We have a book cave in Ziyu Mountain, and there are many books in the cave. I remember when I was a kid, when I was tired of playing, I would go to the library cave to rest. Flipping through some interesting books inside, I don't like to read those with text, and there are villains' favorite to read them. Over time, there are a lot of strange knowledge in the belly. ”

The two chatted a few more words. Xiao Yunfan stood up, stretched his waist, and then raised his long sword. Nine pine trees are divided into two groups, a group of five with dovetail-shaped grooves and a group of four, with raised dovetails cut on both sides.

By the time it got dark, he had made the mortise and tenon joints on the nine pine trees and put them together. When he was done, he was exhausted and fell asleep on the raft.

The next day, the two got on a raft and sailed along the river. Xiao Yunfan sat on the raft with a penny, looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, he was extremely happy and sang a ballad. Her voice was tactful, like a lark, Xiao Yunfan listened to it in her ears, and her heart was also very happy.

He turned his head and smiled: "Is your singing really good?" Shui Hanyan said: "I sang it just now, then Brother Xiao, can you also sing a song to Yan'er?" Xiao Yunfan said: "If it is something else, I can still do it, but I don't understand this singing at all." Shui Hanyan said with a smile: "I thought that Brother Xiao was a little unique, but it turns out that you also don't know what to do." Xiao Yunfan laughed and said: "This is just a little unequaled, I don't dare to take it." There are many intelligent people on the rivers and lakes, and I still have self-knowledge. If I want to talk about things that I can't do, there's one more thing I'm afraid I won't be able to learn in my life. ”

Shui Hanyan asked, "What can stump Brother Xiao?" Xiao Yunfan said: "That is a woman giving birth to a child, and I won't kill me in this matter." Shui Hanyan is still young, and he is very ignorant about men and women, and he is also very curious about how men and women have children. Then he asked: "Brother Xiao, you said that a man and a woman can have a child together, how can they have a child?"

Xiao Yunfan saw that she was innocent and innocent, and suddenly realized that she had lost her mouth, and it was inconvenient to say that kind of thing to the girl after all, so he hurriedly changed the conversation and said: "I don't know this matter very well. By the way, what kind of treasure is the Nine Yao Linglong of your Xuannu Palace, and the thief has to go to great lengths to get it?"

Shui Hanyan ate a pine nut and said slowly: "Jiuyao Linglong is the token of the master." It is enshrined in the Mulan Pavilion, and there will be patrolling disciples in the palace every day. And Jiuyao Linglong, I heard the master mention that Linglong hides the superior martial arts of this sect. In order to take this thing, the thief killed several disciples in our palace......" As she said this, she couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart, and she was so stunned that she shed tears.

Xiao Yunfan looked back and saw tears on her face, and regretted mentioning it in her heart. Hurriedly comforted: "Sister Yan, people can't be resurrected after death, you still want to open some." I will definitely capture this thief with my own hands and hand him over to your Xuannu Palace to deal with. Shui Hanyan stretched out his sleeves to wipe away the tears and nodded.

The raft went down the river, and it was very brisk. Xiao Yunfan saw the green mountains in the distance and said, "That's Tianhui Peak, I recognize it." I think we're almost at the realm of the Bashan faction. There's a town not far from here, where we can rest tonight. ”

At dusk, the two abandoned the raft and walked four or five miles to Huangling Town. The setting sun fell on the roof tiles, giving a faint golden glow. The evening breeze blew, and a few dead leaves flew up and down on the bluestone paved road. Xiao Yunfan looked around, but there was no one on the street. couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this huge town empty?" Shui Hanyan followed him and said, "Yes, Brother Xiao." You see, these shops are closed. ”

Xiao Yunfan jumped and jumped onto the roof. Looking around, I saw that the courtyards were empty, and I couldn't help but be suspicious. Xin Dao: Could it be that this place is haunted? Follow him to jump off the roof and continue to move forward with water and smoke. When I walked to an inn, I saw that the blackened signboard was shining with gold letters, but the door was locked.

He drew his sword and slashed at the copper lock, and with a thud, sparks flew and the copper lock split in half and fell to the ground. Then he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the inn, only to see that the tables, chairs and benches in the hall were arranged in an orderly manner, and the dust on the floor was very scarce.

On the counter, there are measuring buckets, wine jars, abacus, account books, pen and ink, etc., and on the walls are small wooden signs of various dishes. Xiao Yunfan speculated, if the shopkeeper was in a hurry to leave, how could this account book not be taken away?

Not far on the ground, a few flies flew back and forth. Xiao Yunfan walked over and saw that there was nothing on the ground. Shui Hanyan frowned and said, "Strange, there is nothing on this ground, why are there so many flies?"

Xiao Yunfan leaned down and stretched out his hand to drive away the flies, thoughtfully, he pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "There must have been blood stains on this ground before, although I don't know who wiped it off, but the smell of blood can't be completely covered, so there are flies." ”

He turned around and went to the back kitchen to check that the firewood and grass were neatly stacked, and the water tank was full. There was a piece of land in the patio in the backyard, and he examined it, but he still found nothing. He also opened the doors of the rooms in the inn one by one and looked carefully. Shui Hanyan followed behind him, and suddenly said, "It's strange how can there be such a fragrance here?" Xiao Yunfan said: "What fragrance?"

Shui Han Fluke: "It's the fragrance of orchid grass, it can't be wrong." There is a kind of grass growing in the back mountain of our Xuannu Palace, which is the orchid grass. This kind of grass seems to be extremely ordinary, but the fourth uncle can use this grass to make incense, and at the beginning of each month, he will distribute some to each department. ”

Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "In this way, the people of the Xuannu Palace once lived here. He turned and walked over to the bed, and found some more strands of hair on the pillow. Shui Hanyan looked at his hair and said, "Where will they go, uncle, master?" Xiao Yunfan felt faintly uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say it for a while. He sat down on the edge of the bed, his chin in one hand and his brow furrowed.

After a while, he went to the back kitchen to find some ingredients, boiled a pot of porridge, and fried two dishes. The two of them will have eaten. Shui Han had a wound on the cigarette butt, and after eating, he rested. Xiao Yunfan returned to his room, boiled hot water and washed his feet, and fell asleep.

However, it was said that after Huo Zhongyuan discussed with Feng Yuchun, he sent two Bashan disciples to disguise themselves as martial arts people and carry a thousand gold posts into Shennong Valley as an internal response.

It turned out that Feng Yuchun suspected that something had happened in Shennong Valley. According to what Xiao Yunfan said that day, the prescription Xu Shou took out was written in peach blossom ink, and the peach blossom ink was a thing from Shennong Valley. The golden snow carp did not have any effect, so the prescription was naturally fake. The ink that wrote the prescription is real, so there is only one explanation, someone controls Shennong Valley. So they made this decision, first sent two disciples into Shennong Valley to get a glimpse of the truth in the valley, and then agreed to use the three elders of Bashan as backup.

In order to prevent the enemy from detecting it, one of the two disciples took poison, and the other was seriously injured. The two of them rode fast horses, and in less than two days they reached the boundary of Shennong Valley. Shennong Valley is located in the hinterland of Bashan, the valley is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the climate is mild. In addition, there are rare birds and beasts in the valley, and there are many strange flowers and plants, which can be called a blessed land.

Legend has it that in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in turmoil. In order to avoid military disasters, the predecessors of Shennong Valley lived in seclusion here and cut off contact with the outside world. It wasn't until the Yongle period that some young children in Shennong Valley had the idea of going out, so they went far into the rivers and lakes and made a big name. There are daily fights and disputes on the rivers and lakes, and bloodshed and injuries are extremely common. It is even more inevitable to seek medical advice. The disciples of Shennong Valley have superb medical skills and are good at curing diseases. Both black and white are respectful, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not ask for the door in the future.

During the Zhengde period, the head of Shennong Valley and Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, were too close, the rebellion of King Ning was defeated, Shennong Valley was also implicated, and the medical hall and pharmacy operated by his disciples were also closed by the imperial court. Many people died for this, and Shennong Valley gradually disappeared from the rivers and lakes. Until the Jiajing year, the events of the previous dynasty were forgotten.

In view of the lessons of the predecessors, the patriarch made a rule that no one should participate in the affairs of the court. So they only interacted with a few friends.

Bashan sent the two disciples into the valley, and the rest of them waited outside the valley. The valley was filled with white mist, revealing a hint of mystery. At the mouth of the valley stands a boundary monument covered with moss, on which is engraved the word Shennong in seal script. The two supported each other and walked forward, and a watchtower was built on the cliff not far away. The man in the valley was condescending, and saw that there were strangers entering the valley. He shouted down, "Who's downstairs?"

A man with a slender face and a goatee: "In Xia Dingyou, this is the second master of Baiyun Village next to me, holding a gold post, and I have come to visit the Yun Divine Doctor." ”

The guard said, "Since the two of you have a post, it's easy to do." The two of you put the post in the bamboo basket, and my brother will pick it up after reading it. As he spoke, he put down a bamboo basket from the watchtower.

After the two men's daughters and their blades were put into the bamboo basket, the guards upstairs sent someone to hang the bamboo basket. They looked through the name post and confirmed that it was correct. Only then did a large bamboo basket be released downward, and after the two of them walked into the bamboo basket, the guards upstairs turned a huge winch and slowly lifted the bamboo basket along the cliff.

The two of them went upstairs, and when they saw the guard wearing a mask, they hurriedly greeted him. The guard glanced at the two of them, clasped his fists and said, "There are many rules in this valley, and the two distinguished guests will forgive me." When an outsider sees the lord of the valley and his old man, he must be blindfolded. As he spoke, he asked another guard to take out a black cloth and blindfold them. And he commanded them to stand in a column, and to lay their hands on the shoulders of the companion before them, and that a usherer should guide them.

During the trip, the two didn't dare to say a word, for fear of revealing their feet. After a cup of tea, the ushers who walked in front took off the black cloth for them and said, "Please, two of you." ”

The two walked slowly into a small courtyard, only to see an old man with white hair and a long robe with his back to them. The old man held a pair of golden hinge scissors and was engrossed in pruning the chrysanthemums in the courtyard.

The two of them glanced at each other and said, "Meet the Cloud Divine Doctor." ”

The old man glanced back at the two of them, and said slowly: "The two distinguished guests have come from afar, so let's go to the hall to have some tea first." The old man is busy and is here to accompany him. The two of them were worried and didn't dare to disobey.

A short time later, a boy served tea. One disciple only felt that his mouth was dry, so he took a sip of the tea, and the other followed suit.

The hall was filled with aromas, and one person whispered, "Senior brother, do you smell it?" and the other nodded. Before the two of them finished speaking, their eyes became hazy.

The boy walked quickly to the flowerbed and said to the old man, "Divine doctor, they are asleep." The old man, known as the "Divine Doctor", stroked his beard and said, "Okay, you order someone to carry them ......to the medicine house," he said, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

They waited all night outside the valley, and when they did not give a signal, they were not troubled. Feng Yuchun suddenly woke up and said: "It's not good, the two of them must be more than lucky." At the beginning, the big guy thought that he would be able to hide from the world by holding the post and doing the fake show, but in fact, he ignored an important detail. This post is from behind the scenes, and most of them are marked, and taking his post is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net. ”

The so-called wise man must have a mistake, Feng Yuchun was annoyed at the moment, Tian Chao was fine, seeing Feng Yuchun's words, the faces of the people of the Bashan faction were displeased, and they were also extremely resentful of the old landlord in their hearts. You must know that this matter was decided with their masters, but the expressions in the eyes of the people of the Bashan faction clearly said that if the lives of the two of them were three long and two short, it was his Feng Yuchun's fault. Tian Chao immediately arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Master, let me explore again." ”
