Fan Tianrui hurriedly passed by the post station outside Yuzhou City with four people, and he took a look at the post station where the Changfeng Dart Bureau was stationed, and there was no dart master here, and he felt a little abnormal. The dart masters all withdrew from the dart game, and he looked around to find the marks of the flowers and plants being cut by the sword qi, it seems that there was a big battle here not long ago.

Wang Yiqing noticed Fan Tianrui's strange appearance and said to him, "Master, what's wrong?

Fan Tianrui didn't care and smiled at him: "It's okay, let's go back to the villa." ”

Wang Yiqing saw that he didn't react much, and there was a kind of doubt in his heart, he followed Fan Tianrui's gaze, how could he not see the traces of the battle as a martial idiot. And this is the post station of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, and his master doesn't even care. Wang Yiqing didn't show suspicion, he just followed behind the master and stopped talking.

Wen Zixiao took Yazhi and them back to their hometown in Yuzhou, where Grandma Wu was here, and they were quite comfortable. They sat in the courtyard and revisited the matter.

"You're so handsome, I didn't expect you to say such a thing. Wen Zixiao looked at Yazhi with admiration.

Yazhi ignored him, he looked at Xu Su who was speechless on the side. On weekdays, he is used to wearing clothes that catch fast, but now he has changed into the clothes that originally belonged to his identity, exuding the rest of his extraordinary bearing from the inside out. This made Yazhi a little incomprehensible, and asked: "Please forgive Brother Xu, I had to take a knife to each other." ”

"I understand, it should be the eldest brother who wants you to apologize, I didn't expect things to develop like this. Xu Su was very direct, he didn't blame Yazhi.

"Brother Xu, I have a few questions for you, you and the Pu brothers and sisters both grew up in the dart chief, and that kung fu is extraordinary. When I first broke into Kaifeng Mansion that night, I fought with you, and you all preserved your strength, right?"

Xu Su turned his head to look at him, his eyes were meaningful: "Yes." ”

"Then the eldest son of the first dart in North China, why don't you go to Beijing to be a little catcher at home? If you don't want to take over the family business, go out to earn a living. Then why are the Pu brothers and sisters here? Or is it that the two sisters and brothers came to Beijing for another purpose? I heard Pu Cheng say that he came to Beijing because he wanted to have more experience, so he is more experienced in walking darts, what do you say, Brother Xu?" Ya Zhi looked at Xu Su's eyes and said indifferently.

Xu Su saw that he noticed this, and he didn't hide it: "It's Cheng'er who wants to come to Beijing, and his sister can't rest assured of him." So we're coming together. ”

"Sure enough, it seems that this Pu Cheng has a lot to do, and two people have to follow. Yazhi smiled and said: "Actually, I also hid it from you, it is not the first time I have come to Beijing, and I am not as simple as you believe." ”

Xu Su saw that he had something to say, so he was silent and didn't speak again.

"I think Pu Cheng is very familiar, as if I had seen it when I was a child. He is from the capital, and his home is quite close to the Liang Palace...... In the past, Pu Cheng looked at me in Kaifeng Mansion as if he had a grudge against me, and you also investigated me, but Wen Zixiao found out and gave him a chance. Yazhi glanced at Wen Zixiao, who was called by someone who seemed to be a guard.

"Now that something so big has happened to the dart game, he won't go home. And you're here, if he's going to do something, do you think Poy can stop him?" Yazhi whispered.

"Truth be told, it is. He went for his biological father. Pue and I were afraid that he would seek revenge, so we followed him all the time. Xu Su sighed.

When Yazhi heard this, he smiled and said, "Looking for revenge? I'm afraid he's looking for the wrong person." You can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him for a lifetime. Let me tell you, this brother of mine is not the same as before, and he is so ruthless that he has robbed him of his best brother's favorite. I hope Pu Cheng is a smart person and will stop early. ”

Nangong Yulu propped her head and looked at the two of them, she listened to them in a fog, and she didn't understand the original of them.

Xu Su was thoughtful about the young man in front of him, not only did he perceive Pu Cheng's plan, but he was able to tell his father to let them go, it seems that Yazhi has not been idle in the past three days, they must have heard the current situation of the dart game. Xu Su was about to look at him again: "Hey, I hope so." ”

"Eh, what did you talk to me about when someone came to me?" Wen Zixiao walked over to them after seeing the guards leave.

"Guess what. Yazhi joked with him.

"By the way, how sure are you of the promise you made to Senior Xu?" Wen Zixiao frowned.

"Not sure. Yazhi said bluntly. As soon as he said this, the three of them looked at him in surprise, and suddenly the atmosphere became tense.

"You are not sure, so you said that you would take it back, and promised fifteen days?" Wen Zixiao gave him a roll of his eyes.

"If I don't say that, how are we going to get out? Tell me? Are you going to invite your father? So we'd better find a place to hide and live these last fifteen days......"

Wen Zixiao looked at Yazhi in a cynical state, since leaving the capital, it was like a different person, although love can change a person's temperament, so it seems that falling out of love has the same effect.

Yazhi didn't finish speaking, Nangong Yulu punched him in the face, Yazhi didn't react in time, only felt pain on his face, lost his center of gravity, and fell a buttocks. Wen Zixiao and Xu Su were a little surprised when they looked at this scene.

"Lulu, you actually beat your cousin...... Yazhi got up in pain, his left hand was broken and hit the bamboo slices It was very inconvenient to move, only relying on his right hand to support the ground, he simply sat on the ground.

Nangong Yulu stood up angrily: "You really learned from Brother Yun Xi, and you actually made some jokes like this! You better not go, I'll go with them, find a place to be a shrinking turtle." ”

When Yazhi heard that Nangong Yulu was going to leave him, she grabbed her hand: "No, you can't be with other men, if something happens, the old man will kill me." ”

Nangong Yulu struggled desperately to break away from Yazhi's hand: "Just now you know that the second son of the Xu family is still alive, and he deliberately asked me to come to the 'autopsy', only if I beg you you will be willing to save people! ”

"Oh, Lu, listen to me, I actually have a plan, and I'm just gambling. Yazhi was a little helpless, so she had to say good things.

When Xu Su heard Nangong Yulu's words, his mood fluctuated a little: "What Miss Nangong said is true? ”

"Yes, the second son was just blocked by the Gang Qi and there was still a slight breath left, and he was just asleep, and then Brother Yazhi used the 'Ice Heart Piece' in the 'Cold Water Luoshen' to dissolve the Gang Qi of his physical strength. It is only a matter of time before the second son will wake up. Nangong Yulu explained to him.

"Lulu, if you expose me, I'm not good...... Don't I want to lose face?" Yazhi held his forehead and wanted to cry without tears.

Wen Zixiao looked at them and smiled secretly, he got up and hugged Yazhi: "Just now, my father came to the northwest, saying that 'Nine-Faced Exquisite Dragon' is in 'Moon Bud Mingsha'." I don't want to be blamed for what you promised, and if you don't go, I'll tie you up. Let's talk about your game."

"I'm not sure if she remembers having a brother like me. Yazhi thought about it seriously: "Speaking of which, Zixiao, I heard that you have never lost a big bet in Qiongyu Pavilion before, is it true?"

"Of course. Wen Zixiao said with some pride.

"Then you have gambled with your life?" Yazhi looked at him very seriously.

"Yes, many times. ”

"Oh?"

"In the last case, when I asked you for help, I bet that you would help me. Wen Zixiao looked at him and said with a smile.

"How can you be sure? I didn't know you well at the time. ”

"You're a guy who doesn't joke with people's lives. Wen Zixiao spread his hands: "Besides, I've gambled many times, and it's not like I haven't died, so it's not bad this time at all." ”

Yazhi laughed: "Interesting, what about Brother Xu?"

Xu Su looked at Yazhi and became serious, thinking of him who was meticulous in Kaifeng Mansion, and felt some feelings in his heart: "Although I don't like to gamble, but I have no way out, someone must complete this matter in the dart game, even if it is a death, so let's just go together." ”

"Don't talk about the dead or not, you'll be fine with me. Nangong Yulu watched everyone cheer up, and silently made up her mind in her heart.

Yazhi took out the embroidered painting from her arms and put it on the stone table: "I don't know if I will meet her......"

"I said, do you really have a crush on someone?" Wen Zixiao leaned over and said.

"Her young lady's name is Ye Yazhu, she is twenty-nine years old, what a coincidence......," Yazhi muttered.

Xu Su also looked at the embroidered painting: "This is?"

"Oh, this, this is the night of Qixi Festival, a girl gave Yazhi an embroidery painting for her young lady. That's why Ya Cheng is really popular. Wen Zixiao began to joke.

At this time, Grandma Wu brought them melon seeds and preserves, she was the only one here on weekdays, and today I saw my grandson bring friends to the house as a guest, and the house was also lively. She was very polite and heard that tomorrow they were going out, so she prepared a lot of things to entertain.

Yazhi thanked Grandma Wu, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Grandma Wu, have you been to the northwest?"

"I went with my father when I was young, what's wrong?" Grandma Wu was kind.

"Then do you know where this is?" Ya Zhi handed the embroidery painting to Grandma Wu. Grandma Wu looked at it, looked surprised, and then explained to him with a smile: "This embroidered painting is the 'Moon Bud Singing Sand' in the northwest, which is the pass of the Silk Road, and all caravans have to pass through here. And you come to see here. ”

"The shape is like a tower not a tower, like a building is not a building. This is the 'Ming Moon Tower', where the fabric craftsmanship is exquisite, and the craftsmanship of this embroidery painting comes from here. However, there are very few embroideries placed here, and they are almost exclusively used by the royal family. In the past, when Ah Yuan was named the prince, the emperor gave him one. How did you get it?"

"By chance. Yazhi heard the "Moon Bud Singing Sand" and glanced at Wen Zixiao in surprise.

"Childe, it seems that your luck is really good. ”

"Grandma, do you know who the owner of this is?" Wen Zixiao hurriedly asked.

"I haven't traveled far since I married into the Wen family, and I don't know if it's changed hands. This was once the 'Flying Immortal Sect' of Buddhism in the Western Regions, which was originally a large sect, but was annexed by the 'Sixth Heaven' that rose later and became a branch of it. The owner is Song Qi, the youngest daughter of the original 'Flying Immortal'. After so many years, she should be in her sixties. Although this area borders your father's fiefdom, fortunately, this 'Moon Bud Mingsha' is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and naturally it is also under your father's jurisdiction. You can go here to see this trip to the northwest and open your eyes. I heard that this building is all beautiful women from the Western Regions, but there is a scenery that cannot be seen in the Central Plains. ”

"It's all women...... The boy who sent the embroidery painting last time is really a girl......" Nangong Yulu remembered the boy last time.

"Grandma, you really provided a good guide to the northwest. Wen Zixiao looked at Yazhi and Xu Su beside him, his eyes were full of light.

Xie Yunxi held the pen and kept drawing something on the paper, which reached as high as his little ankle. Nalan Zhishui had been by his side grinding ink strips for him, and on his desk were open numerous Buddhist books that were studying Sanskrit on totems and stone tablet murals.

Xie Yunxi finished painting a picture and gave it to Nalan Zhishui. Nalan Zhishui looked at it carefully and shook his head at this. Then Xie Yunxi took out a new piece of paper and was about to redraw it.

Nalan Zhishui looked at the painting he had just made, and said that the painting was not a painting, but a pattern similar to a circle composed of different Sanskrit characters. She always felt that this painting was familiar but strange, so she asked Xie Yunxi to stop: "Yunxi, I think this is it, but there is still a little difference." ”

Xie Yunxi glanced at the painting he had painted by himself just now: "Last time on the night of Qixi Festival, Yazhi spent the night in my room, I quietly looked at the mark on his back, although I was affected by Changxin Pill, but I still remember it. I'm sure it's Sanskrit. In the Buddhist books I am familiar with, there are Sanskrit texts that can be translated, but I have been looking for a long time but I can't find the Sanskrit source. ”

"The mark behind him is also incomplete, you don't worry, do your best. Nalan Zhishui looked at Xie Yunxi and said gently.

"He used to care about this thing behind him, and even bathed in his underwear, so that no one could see it. You have lived with him for so long, you should remember it clearly. The Nalan family has been a Taoist since ancient times, and this mark on his body should be related to his life experience. Xie Yunxi stopped writing, and a warm breeze outside the window blew into the house, stirring the painting that Nalan Zhishui put on the table, and the painting fell to the ground with the wind.

Nalan Zhishui watched the front of the painting fall to the ground, and she was about to pick it up, when she saw the dots of ink that penetrated the reverse side, she made a major discovery. She immediately picked up the drawing paper, held it in front of the candle, and turned the reverse to Xie Yunxi: "Yazhi is behind this pattern." ”

Xie Yunxi saw this painting through the faint light of the candle flame, and looked a little surprised: I had to know it, but I didn't expect this Sanskrit to be a mirror image. Then he grabbed one of the books on the table, and he called, "Eternal, you go and get it for me." On the third floor, on the ninth shelf, on the first floor, the third volume of Tantra. The original bamboo slip version was taken down along with the hand-copied annotations. ”

Nalan Zhishui looked around, only the two of them: "You remember it so clearly." ”

"Of course, I've read all the books here. And Buddha is the state religion, so I know a lot. Xie Yunxi looked at her proudly.

Then there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the door was opened by a sixteen-year-old boy who came in cautiously with a large roll of bamboo slips in his hand. His name is Liu Qiangu, and he is the clerk in charge of the "sea of books". Nalan Zhishui used to often look for books, and he helped.

"Lord Wang, please take a look. Eternals placed the annotation on the table and held the bamboo slip in his hand.

"Put it down, it's heavier, and you're having a hard time holding it. Xie Yunxi asked him to put it on the desk, and he looked at it carefully, but he didn't find any Sanskrit records. Then he checked the notes again, but there was still nothing he was looking for.

"That's weird. Xie Yunxi sat down and sighed: Could it be that these Sanskrit texts are apocryphal?

Xie Yunxi stared at the "Tantric Commentary", which said "Shi Miaoliang", and then he muttered: "It turned out to be Master Miaoliang, I understand, I finally have some gains, I have trouble you here for thousands of years." ”

"This book was written by Master Myaura, but he has passed away. I'm afraid I'm going to go to the temple before he passed away to find some clues. Nalan Zhishui was a little puzzled.

"This master used to be a Vinaya, but then he changed to Tantra to become famous. Do you know what he did?" Xie Yunxi helped Qiangu clean up his desk.

"I don't know, but I know that he seems to have killed a demon and is very prestigious. Nalan Zhishui scratched her head.

"Master Miao Liang learned Tantric Dharma after he changed his sect, and before he became a monk, he had a good relationship with the sect master of the 'Sixth Day' in the Northwest, and later helped him win the first 'Flying Immortal' in the Northwest at that time. After the Ye family's 'Wind Whirlwind Blue and White Knife' came out, it became famous in the rivers and lakes, and the name of the 'magic knife' was also defined by him. The major forces are crazy to rob and fight. Because the master made a move to defeat the swordsmith Ye Jinyan, and planted a 'law' seal for him. gave him a way to live, which was to abandon martial arts. ”

"What about not wasting martial arts?"

"From time to time, the internal strength of the blood and qi will flow backwards, and the pain will be unbearable. With the strength of martial arts, the time and cycle of outbreaks increase. Only the abandonment of martial arts will not occur, and the solution is not yet known, and it may be that it can only be solved if you die. I heard that this seal will continue for three generations of the recipient, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"This is also terrible, but isn't the Ye family Yazhi's brother's family, he has not had this symptom yet. ”

"If this is true, then Yazhi is indeed the third generation of the Ye family. Xie Yunxi said: "So the master couldn't help but defeat the 'magic knife', and returned my Buddha's mercy to spare the Ye family's life, fame and fortune are really a good strategy." Later, the place where he practiced the exercises was Guixin Temple, and he also passed away there, and now the incense is continuous. ”

"Where did you hear that? Why haven't I heard of you before?"

"Oh, I often listen to the scripts that storytellers in Tianxi Restaurant have, and I plan to listen to the follow-up, will you be with me next time?"

"Do you believe the words of the storytellers?"

"Of course, it's much more fun than these courts. Xie Yunxi had a playful tone, which provoked Nalan Zhishui to pinch his hand.

Bronze stood outside the door and shouted softly, "Lord Wang, I'm back." ”

Xie Yunxi stopped messing with Nalan Zhishui, and said very seriously: "Why have you been there for so long?"

Bronze then entered the house and stood in front of Xie Yunxi, and he said nervously: "On the way...... ran into Lord Qiu and delayed the time. ”

"Oh?"

"As you expected, I went to check the household department, and the person written on this title deed is Pu Cheng's biological father, and he has an older brother named Pu Hao in addition to Pu Yi. It's just that Pu Hao committed suicide at the age of ten. Subsequently, all the adult men of the Pu family were assigned to join the army, and the family house was requisitioned by the old Liang King, which is now the school field of Lingyinwei......"

"Do you know why my dad raided his house?"

"Know ......"

"Then I won't talk about it, Lord Qiu has news?" Xie Yunxi said this, and he was a little depressed.

"The fragment of the 'Double Stinger' was found in Qiongyu Pavilion, Lord Qiu brought it and was waiting for you in the hall, and Pu Cheng also came. He Ziyu hid in Qiongyu Pavilion after knowing the news, saying that he wanted to find out some reliable news. ”

"Since he's here too, then Bronze will accompany me in a play. Xie Yunxi narrowed his eyes and looked at the bronze.
