Chapter 38: Crisis
At the pawnshop at No. 8 Suzaku Street in Yangcheng, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old gray-robed young man frowned. Holding a three-foot bronze sword in his arms, he looked reluctant.
"Tang Ji, a hundred copper coins, shouldn't you?" said a middle-aged man, touching his beard
The boy pondered for a while and said, "You have to treat it well, and I will redeem it." ”
The pawnshop shopkeeper threw a bag of copper coins. The boy put the bronze sword on the counter and walked out of the pawnshop with the copper coin.
I spent five copper coins and bought ten steamed buns. The gray-robed boy walked on Suzaku Street.
Looking at the first city of the human race, the young man's face was full of curiosity. There were aristocrats sitting in a carriage reading a book, and next to them were rice buyers.
"Young man, I see that your face is dark. There will be a plague of blood and light, come to me to give you a hexagram. A weak voice said
The young man looked around, and not far away, a fat Taoist priest in a Taoist robe looked at him.
The gray-robed young man walked up to the fat Taoist priest and squatted down. As tall as the fat Taoist priest sitting on the ground, the fat Taoist stared closely at the bun in the young man's hand.
"How much do you count?"
The fat Taoist priest's expression changed and said: "I don't think it's cheap for ordinary people to have 10,000 taels of gold, if only you need two buns." ”
The gray-clothed young man handed over the two buns and looked at the bamboo pole in the fat Taoist's hand. There were a few words written on it, but unfortunately he didn't recognize them.
"You do the math, I'll become a great swordsman. It still takes, how long. The gray-robed boy asked
The fat Taoist priest pinched his fingers and thought for a while. As if he had encountered something difficult, his face turned several times.
"You will meet a friend and you will achieve each other. In the end, your swordsmanship is very high. The fat Taoist priest finally said
"How high you are, you can practice. When the sword dances, can't the water pour into it?" the young man hurriedly asked
"Of course, my Li Fusheng hexagram can be ranked in the top ten in the world. They are all high out of the sky, and you believe me. The fat Taoist priest ate the bun in his mouth and said seriously
The gray-robed boy laughed. I just thought that my sword was gone. With a sad face, I have to find myself, a sword is.
"Rack, rack...... Let the West Houfu do things, it is a lot of offense. ”
On Suzaku Street, Jiuye rode a horse to open the road. Behind him, a carriage was rushing.
When the carriage was about to pass the gray-robed boy, a child of six or seven years old ran out of an alley.
Seeing that the carriage was about to hit the child who had froze, Jiuye's face changed. After a moment's hesitation, he waved the whip in his hand.
Apparently preparing, a whip pulled the child out of the street. In order not to be hit by the carriage and killed, the gray-robed young man flashed and appeared beside the child.
At the last moment, the gray-robed boy held the child and avoided the carriage. The whip of the nine nights just hit the gray-robed young man.
The carriage whizzed by, and the night stopped. Seeing that the gray-robed young man's clothes had been torn, there was a bloody mark on his face.
"I am, the guard of the Xihou Mansion. This is ten taels of silver, you find a doctor to cure it yourself. After saying that, Jiuye left, throwing a silver ingot.
Looking at the nine nights that were roaring away, the gray-robed young man was a little dissatisfied.
"This is a Xijon person, it's really domineering. Tang Ji said softly
The fat Taoist priest finished eating the buns and let the child go. Hearing Tang Ji's words, he shook his head for a while.
"Three days ago, Xirong waited and returned from the prince's banquet. That night, he went crazy and killed people when he saw them. In the end, he vomited blood and fell into a coma, and I heard that he was hit by Gu magic. The third son of the Zhou clan was also beaten unconscious by Tianjun. The whole Houfu went crazy and looked for a doctor everywhere. The fat Taoist priest said with a smile
"Is that the father and son who have won the clone of the Heavenly Monarch with three mirrors and one second realm?" said the gray-robed young man with a look of fascination
"It should be, a sixth-rank martial artist and a first-rank martial artist. Won the doppelganger of the Heavenly Monarch, and now the name of the martial arts has changed. The fat Taoist priest retorted
The gray-robed young man frowned, and the two argued for a while. I had no choice but to change my division of martial arts.
......
In the west of Yangcheng, Zhou Anqiang supported his body and sent the imperial doctor to the door.
Seeing Zhou An wake up, those maids and housekeepers. They all breathed a sigh of relief, and the head of the family fell. Only the son of the head of the family can stabilize the situation.
In the study, the tips of Dr. Wen's hair were already gray. These three days have been like a roller coaster, full of surprises.
Zhou Yan closed his eyes tightly, he hadn't closed his eyes for three days. Zhou Xing suddenly went berserk, and he used all his strength to join forces with people to subdue him.
Standing up in the ninth night, it was hard to hide the exhaustion. Twenty doctors were hired in three days, and even a fourth-grade martial artist could barely bear it.
Zhou An was helped to the study by Qingmeng and Butterfly Dance, and Zhou An entered the study alone.
On the chair, Zhou An looked at the tired three.
"The three of you have worked hard, and I have already let the secret guard take credit in the credit book. Doctor Wen, tell me, what's going on?" Zhou An asked calmly
"Master Hou, you've been tricked by Gu art. Judging from Imperial Doctor Sun's hints, it should be one of the top ten Gu techniques in the Southern Barbarians, the 'Heavenly Snake Gu' is fortunate to have my Zhou clan's spiritual jade to protect it. Dr. Wen said softly
Zhou An's face was gloomy and he asked, "The only one who was present that day had the ability to play Gu was a Chu madman." Did you go to him?"
"The imperial doctor of Gongsun said that this is an old injury. It's been going on for at least twenty years, but it just happened to erupt. Dr. Wen said softly
"How stupid are you? This kind of Gu technique, even if it wasn't done by a Chu madman. It must be his Chu clan, otherwise who else has this ability. Zhou An said with a roar
Dr. Wen and Jiuye hurriedly knelt down and didn't say a word.
Zhou Yan opened her eyes and scolded loudly: "Third child, is it time for you to lose your temper?"
Zhou An closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then helped up Dr. Wen and Jiuye.
"I'm a little out of control, and I'm asking the doctor to come up with an idea!" Zhou An said softly
"The madman Chu had already asked for orders to support Yan Nantian two days ago, and he was accompanied by Dongyi Qi Yunfei. Imperial Doctor Sun had just found out the cause of the disease, and he was no longer in a hurry. Dr. Wen said softly
Zhou An frowned, things were beyond his expectations.
"Is there any way to wake him up?" Zhou An asked softly
Of course, the three of them knew who he was. The fact that there is such a stiffness between the biological father and son is the only one in the entire Xirong.
Imperial Doctor Sun said, as far as he knew. Only the last generation of Nanban Hou can be completely solved, and the one who is possible to solve it is the mystery of the national teacher. There is only one way that can be temporarily suppressed, and that is the Millennium Heart Protector. I know that the heart protector is in the Great Xia Palace, but it is just ......"
Looking at Dr. Wen's prophetic expression, Zhou An had a bad premonition.
"When did Dr. Wen like to play dumb riddles. Directly, I'll borrow it. Zhou An said
Doctor Wen said helplessly: "Heart Protector, there are four. It was the dowry that the queen prepared for the four princesses, but I am afraid that she could not borrow it. ”
Zhou An said with a wry smile: "The eldest princess must be able to borrow it, and the second princess prepares some books from the Zhou family." The third princess, give her the Konghou of the clan. As for the fourth princess, I have a strange feeling every time I see her, and it's better to be less troublesome. ”
"However, now there are only four princesses left in the city. The rest of the princesses have already gone to the dragon mound. Dr. Wen smiled wryly
Zhou An was speechless for a while, did he really go to see that girl.
"What do you think of him taking another concubine?...... No, you have to be a flat wife to become a ......," Zhou An asked
Dr. Wen was speechless in shock, and Jiuye tried to hold back a smile.
"Actually, you are proposing marriage as the son of the Zhou family. Deceive the heart protector first, and make a marriage first. Later, more on that later. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it now, Xingjun has eliminated the demon. Zhou Yan proposed
"I'll borrow it first, what if I borrow it?" Zhou An said quickly
Looking at Zhou An's disappearing figure, Zhou Yan shook his head for a while.
just remembered that Zhou Hou was still lying in bed, not knowing life and death, and his face became ugly again.
