Chapter 181: Reading the Ghost Valley at Night
Liu Xin was going in and out of the cave, what was he doing?
He couldn't see anything famous after looking at it for a while, and since he couldn't see it, he couldn't feel any danger.
Xu Dong looked for the past in the mysterious cave, he came to the cave, but saw a valley a few zhang wide separating him from this, this valley is bottomless, obviously it is impossible to walk over like this,
He thought to himself, this must be Liu Xin guarding against him and choosing to hide in this place, don't you know that I have Yu Jian in my hand, and I will get you through such a valley as usual.
Xu Dong stood on the side of the valley, and when Xu Dong came out of the cave, he could crush the spirit chasing urn in his hand, and he Liu Xin would be blown to pieces like this jade slip.
But he suddenly thought that things were by no means so simple, if Liu Xin was bent on avoiding him, why should he run back to his hometown,
Besides, Liu Xin was in and out of the cave just now, holding a bow and crossbow in his hand, he must be doing something, if he was going to deal with him, he might have set up the secret channel mechanism a long time ago.
He opened the "Heavenly Eye" of the Purple Mansion to check, and sure enough, he found that there were a lot of crossbows buried at the mouth of the cave, and these crossbows were all equipped with arrows, and the arrows were pointed at him one by one, just like many eyes staring at him.
Where was the launcher of the crossbow, he looked at his feet, and immediately shuddered, it turned out that the launcher was stepping under his feet,
Needless to say, this is a kind of "stepping crossbow", as soon as his feet step on the mechanism, if he wants to take his feet away, the crossbow will be fired in unison, and these arrows will shoot him like a hedgehog.
He remembered that Qian Xiaoyuan, Guo Ying and Su Qing were covered with arrows, and he hated Liu Xin so much that his heart dripped, but when he thought that he was also in danger now, he had a fear and fear.
It seems that unless it is burned with Liu Xin's jade and dies together, trying to kill Liu Xin today will be in vain.
Liu Xin came out of the cave, holding a bow in his hand, and sneered at him, "Hehe, Lord Chuan, don't come to harm, what kind of wind blew you to Zhemu Village today." ”
Xu Dong was furious, hating to eat the flesh of the son and drink the blood of the son, "Liu Xin, you rebelled in the Camel Valley and wanted to shoot the lord of Benchuan, what should you be guilty of." ”
Liu Xin said, "I think Lord Sichuan misunderstood me, if I wanted to shoot Lord Chuan, why didn't I shoot you to death, you go to Zhemu Village to inquire, is my Liu Xin's archery skills so bad." ”
As he spoke, he drew his bow and mounted two arrows, "Whoosh." An arrow shot straight at Xu Dong,
Xu Dong didn't have time to react, and it was "whoosh" again. With a bang, the second arrow was sent out, and it was chasing the first one at a rapid speed, biting the first arrow in the middle of the road, "Boom." With a bang, two arrows fell into the ravine,
"You...... What do you mean. ”
Liu Xin said, "I don't have any other meaning, I just want to prove that I don't want to shoot Lord Chuan, if I want to kill you, as long as I shoot an arrow with my archery technique, your Lord Sichuan won't be standing here." ”
"Don't quibble. Xu Dong said, "Even if you don't shoot an arrow yourself, you give orders to the soldiers...... That's not the same sin. ”
Liu Xin said, "In this way, you don't want to forgive me, then you can do it, my little life is in your hands, and it's not easy for you to take my life." ”
Xu Dong thought to himself that Liu Xin was right, it was indeed easy for him to take Liu Xin's life, as long as he crushed the jade slip Liu Xin in his hand, he would die, but after he killed Liu Xin, who would dismantle these "stepping on the crossbow" organs,
Of course, he could risk using his sword to dispel these arrows after the crossbow was fired, but he couldn't estimate how many of them would have.
And it's unreliable for him to use the "levitation power" to avoid these arrows, because these crossbows are not only aimed at one direction, and there may be many arrows that will shoot into the air.
Liu Xin saw his doubts and simply said, "Don't bother, I know you are a demolition king, but you can't break my 'stepping crossbow'." ”
Xu Dong asked, "What do you want?" ”
Liu Xin smiled, "What do I want, of course I want to live, do I really want to die together, but ......"
"But what. ”
"But I asked you to track it down to Zhemu Village, and I have another idea, I want to ......"
"What do you think. ”
"I want to submit to you, and I will use it for you in the future, because you have the appearance of a king, and you will command a million armies in the future, and I can form a crossbow battalion for you where I can be used. ”
Xu Dong said, "You don't pour me confused soup...... You have committed an unforgivable sin against me, and I will not let you go!"
"I know you won't let me go now, but after a long time, you will forget the hatred, after all, I didn't shoot you Lord Sichuan with my own hands, besides, people can't always live in hatred, the road has to move forward, right? ”
Xu Dong didn't want to rap with him anymore, "Then you dismantle this 'stepping crossbow' first." ”
Liu Xin stretched his hand forward, "In exchange, you give me the jade slip, if you don't give me the jade slip first, I won't dismantle the 'stepping crossbow'." ”
Xu Dong had to grow his mouth and was surprised, how could Liu Xin know that he had a spirit chasing urn in his hand. ”
"Jade Jane, what Jade Jane. ”
"Chasing the Spirit. ”
Xu Dong thought, Liu Xin could tell that this jade slip was the name, which proved that he couldn't deny it if he wanted to, but he wanted to find out how Liu Xin knew about it, and what masters were pointing out in it.
"How do you know I have a spirit chaser? ”
Liu Xin said with a smile, "We have a god in Zhemu Village, and he calculated that your Lord Sichuan is chasing me with a spirit chasing urn in his hand, and said that he will arrive in these two days, so I took precautions in advance." ”
Xu Dong was taken aback, "God counts, where is this god counted." ”
He suddenly remembered the gray-haired old man, could he be the god pointed by Liu Xin, but the old man was behind his ears, and his speech was upside down, not like an unfathomable wise man,
Liu Xin urged, "Give me the jade slip quickly." ”
Xu Dong said, "You first dismantle the 'stepping crossbow' for me, and then I will give you the jade slip before it is too late." ”
Liu Xin said, "No, I will remove your danger first, you will never let me go, I must first get the jade slip and then dismantle the 'stepping crossbow' for you." ”
"Alas. ”
Xu Dong sighed helplessly, and had to compromise with Liu Xin, he used his airway to teleport the jade slip over, and was grabbed by Liu Xin in his hand.
After a while, Liu Xin dismantled the "stepping crossbow", and then hid in the cave, Xu Dong wanted to chase and kill Liu Xin, but he was afraid that he would blindly pursue and hit Liu Xin's mechanism, so he had to endure it.
............
Xu Dong returned to Lechuan, his mood was extremely gray, thinking that Qian Xiaoyuan, Guo Ying, and Su Qing gave up their lives to save him, and he couldn't avenge them, and a wave of resentment burned him like fire.
In the evening, Xu Dong returned to the lodging that the guards had cleaned up for him, he found the volume of "Guiguzi", and studied it carefully.
He held "Guiguzi" in his hand, remembering the legend about Mr. Guigu that he had heard before,
Guigu was born in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the various vassal states competed for hegemony, resulting in wars for many years, the fields were barren, the people were not happy, there were two families of Zhao and Zhou somewhere in Zhongzhou, and the two families were friends for generations.
The Zhao family promised a thousand catties to the son of the Zhou family, Zhao Nu and Zhou Gongzi have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the two have no guesses.
It's just that the world is difficult, the Zhou family is declining, the Zhao family proposes to repent of marriage, and the Zhou family does not force it.
But Zhou Nan's lovesickness for Zhao Nu is deep day by day, and it is difficult to give up, and he is sick and sick, and he even dies young.
When Zhao Nu heard the letter, she was very sad, and cried so much that she cried in front of Zhou Nan's grave.
In a trance, Zhou Nan came to meet her, poured out his heart, tears rained down,
Zhou Nan told Zhao Nu, "You and I meet each other, but we can no longer be husband and wife, if you miss the old love, you can swallow the ears of rice in front of my grave, which is formed by the affection between you and me." ”
Zhao Nu woke up and saw that there was indeed a rice ear growing on the grave, so she slowly chewed and swallowed the rice ear according to Zhou Nan's instructions in the dream.
Zhao Nu has been pregnant since then, and gave birth to a son after being conceived in October.
Xu Dong knew that the above was folklore, and the real Guiguzi biography was:
Guiguzi is named Wang Chan, also known as Wang Xu, a person in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, often enters Yunmeng Mountain to collect medicine and cultivate, because he lives in seclusion in the Ghost Valley of Qingxi, so he calls himself Mr. Guigu,
He is proficient in the art of war, martial arts, and Qimen gossip, and is the author of "Guiguzi", known as the ancestor of Wang Chan.
Guiguzi once served as the prime minister of Chu State, and later returned to Yinyun Mengshan and taught art here, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Mao Sui, Xu Fu, etc. are all his disciples.
During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin and Pang Juan of the Four Friends of Guigu, Su Qin and Zhang Yi were vertically and horizontally, which was a major historical event in this period.
There are many legends about Mr. Guigu's apprenticeship, especially the stories of Sun Bin and Pang Juan are well-known.
Guiguzi wanted to test the apprentice's wit and adaptability, so he sat in the room and said to the apprentices Pang Juan and Sun Bin: "Whoever mobilizes me from the house to the outside of the house will pass the grade." ”
Pang Juan pretended to be panicked and ran into the house and said, "Master Qiqi, Yuan Shi Tianzun has arrived, please take over." ”,
Guiguzi was indifferent,
Pang Juan ran in for the second time, even dropped one of his shoes, and said breathlessly: "Master, the Nine Heavens Xuannu is here, and she is waiting for you outside." ”
Guiguzi's body moved, but he didn't get up,
Pang Juan didn't give up, came in for the third time, hurriedly fell to the ground, broke two front teeth, and stammered: "Oh no, Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother Zhang fought, and Senior Brother Zhang beat Senior Brother Su to death." ”
Guiguzi stood up and looked at him, but still didn't go out,
When it was Sun Bin's turn, Sun Bin said as soon as he came in, "Master, I can't do it." Guiguzi felt a little strange, Sun Bin said: "Your old man can know that five hundred years have passed and five hundred years will come in the future, how can I deceive you." ”
Guiguzi listened to it, a little fluttering,
Sun Bin continued: "If your old man is outside the house, I can trick you in, because there are days for things outside, and you can figure them out, and things in the house have no days, and you can't get out if you go out." ”
