Chapter 44: Pure Yang and Xuanyin
Pingzhou City, Zhao Mansion.
After Zhao Shangxiong saw Xu Ziyang, he burst into tears and said, "Cousin, is it really you?"
Xu Ziyang looked at Zhao Shangxiong, who had a lot of vicissitudes, and was full of emotion in his heart, and said: "After many years, my cousin will not be harmed." ”
"Alas, a few years ago, after I heard that the Boundless View was breached, I hurriedly asked someone to go around to find out your news, but to no avail for many years. I thought that my cousin had met with an accident, and I was sad for many years. I never thought that God would bless, cousin, you are safe and sound, and finally let you and my brother meet again. Zhao Shangxiong was full of emotion when he talked about this.
Feeling Zhao Shangxiong's true feelings, Xu Ziyang felt that his heart was getting warmer, so he briefly talked about his experience after being captured by the Three Tigers.
After hearing this, Zhao Shangxiong sighed and said: "My cousin has been cultivating for many years, and his face has not changed, it seems that he has achieved immortal Taoism, and my cousin is here to congratulate." ”
Xu Ziyang sighed and said: "The road is long, I am just getting started, how dare I call it an achievement." ”
"My cousin came to Pingzhou this time, but is there something wrong?"
"I came to Pingzhou this time, one is because I haven't seen him for many years, so I came to visit my cousin and report my safety by the way. The second is because of Uncle Lin's business. ”
"Uncle Lin?" After many years, Zhao Shangxiong seems to have forgotten who Uncle Lin is.
"My Xu family's offering, Lin Zixu. Xu Ziyang reminded.
Only then did Zhao Shangxiong remember this former master of the Xu family, and suddenly said: "I remember, listen to what you mean, could it be that Uncle Lin had an accident?"
Xu Ziyang sighed and said: "Since Uncle Lin left Dizhou, there has been no news, so I wanted to come to Dizhou to see if Uncle Lin had returned safely." ”
After Xu Ziyang finished speaking, Zhao Shangxiong suddenly remembered something and said: "I once received a letter from the messenger asking me to pass it on to you, but at that time, you had no news and could not deliver it. Do you want to see if it's a letter from Uncle Lin?"
"Oh, then go and find it, cousin. When Xu Ziyang heard this, his spirits perked up, and he hurriedly urged.
After a long time, Zhao Shangxiong finally found the letter and handed it to Xu Ziyang.
The letter was indeed written by Lin Zixu himself, to the effect that after Lin Zixu returned to Dizhou, he was furious when he saw that the Xu Mansion was destroyed.
So he inquired about the situation in the city, and finally found out the details of the murderer.
Sure enough, as Xu Ziyang dreamed at night, there were two murderers, Zheng Chen and Tang Dabao, and now the two of them are in the Valley of Six Desires.
At the end of the letter, Lin Zixu planned to worship in the Valley of the Six Desires, so as to get close to the two of them, in order to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, and hoped that Xu Ziyang would not worry and work hard to cultivate Yunyun.
After reading the letter, Xu Ziyang was moved and worried about Uncle Lin's actions.
The Valley of Six Desires is the main sect of the Northern Wilderness, with the largest number of disciples, known as more than 10,000 disciples. Although it is suspected of exaggeration, counting the registered disciples and some miscellaneous servants, there must be thousands of people.
Uncle Lin entering alone is a hundred times more dangerous than entering the Longtan Tiger's Den, how can Xu Ziyang not worry. And Lin Zixu has not sent back any letters until now, but he is afraid that there will be an accident nine times out of ten.
When Zhao Shangxiong saw Xu Ziyang reading the letter, his expression changed several times, and for some reason, he asked, "But Uncle Lin's letter?"
Xu Ziyang nodded.
Zhao Shangxiong asked again, "Where is Uncle Lin now?" Is it safe?"
"Valley of Six Desires. ”
Seeing that Xu Ziyang seemed reluctant to talk more, Zhao Shangxiong sighed and didn't ask any more.
With the news of the enemy and Uncle Lin, Xu Ziyang didn't want to stay here longer, and couldn't wait to go to the Valley of Six Desires to find out the situation.
But thinking that now there is only one cousin left, if you say goodbye in a hurry this time, and next time you want to see you, I am afraid it will be yin and yang.
Zhao Shangxiong probably also thought of this, so he tried his best to keep it, and Xu Ziyang couldn't bear to brush him off, so he stayed here.
After more than a month, Xu Ziyang looked at Zhao Shangxiong and asked, "I have seen my cousin full of sorrow and worry in the past few days, but what happened?"
Zhao Shangxiong sighed and said, "Don't hide it from my cousin, there is indeed something." In the past two years, Wu Guo, Cai Guo and Shan Guo have frequently disappeared young boys and girls. ”
"It is not uncommon for human traffickers to be vicious and frenzied, and to abduct and sell young children. Could it be that the teenager who has disappeared recently is different?" Xu Ziyang was a little curious.
"It is precisely because the government sorted out the case files and found that most of the boys who have disappeared in the past two years were born on the sunny day of the sunny year, while most of the missing girls were born on the lunar day of the lunar year. ”
"The body of pure yang and the body of Xuanyin?" Xu Ziyang was shocked after hearing this.
"These boys and girls, could they have said something else?"
Xu Ziyang replied: "Taoist classics have recorded these, the girl born on the lunar month and the yin day of the lunar year is called the body of Xuanyin, and the boy born on the yang day of the yang year and the moon is called the body of pure yang. ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Ziyang frowned and pondered, and suddenly asked, "Cousin, could it be that one of your sons and daughters has a pure yang body or a Xuanyin body?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shangxiong sighed and said, "The little girl Liying was born on the lunar day of the lunar year. ”
Zhao Shangxiong's sons and daughters, Xu Ziyang has seen them.
The youngest daughter, Zhao Liying, has just turned five years old, looks like a pink carving, and looks very spiritual. Xu Ziyang loves this niece very much.
"No wonder Liying has been frail and sickly since she was a child. Xu Ziyang suddenly realized.
"Cousin knows the root of the little girl's illness?" Zhao Shangxiong's heart tightened after hearing this, and he hurriedly asked.
"Not bad. Everything in the world pays attention to the balance of yin and yang. But Li Ying was born on a lunar day in a lunar year, and she is a girl, and she is born with too much yin qi, so she is weak and sickly, and she likes heat and cold. But the solitary yin is not long, and if there is no yang harmony, it will not last long. ”
Zhao Shangxiong had also heard similar words from the doctor, but in the end, he was vague and the words were unknown, which made Zhao Shangxiong mistakenly think that he was not worried about his life.
But Xu Ziyang's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Zhao Shangxiong confused and painful and sad.
Seeing his cousin, a mighty man, Xu Ziyang felt very pitiful, and comforted him: "Great sadness lungs, great sorrow and spleen." Don't do that, cousin. ”
When Zhao Shangxiong heard this, he looked at Xu Ziyang with a calm face, and suddenly thought that his cousin was a born master, since he said that the little girl would die soon, maybe there was a means to get rid of the disease.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shangxiong's eyes lit up, and he asked hopefully, "Cousin, is there a way to cure this disease?"
Xu Ziyang said with a smile: "First, Liying is not sick, and second, I am not a doctor, so I don't know how to rejuvenate the pot." ”
Seeing that Zhao Shangxiong had shown despair, Xu Ziyang hurriedly said: "But it doesn't mean that I don't have a way to prolong Liying's life." ”
Zhao Shangxiong was anxious, and after hearing this, he urged: "Cousin, you say it quickly, you say it quickly." ”
Xu Ziyang said: "I practice the exercises in Xuanmen, adjust yin and yang, and level the five elements. As long as you achieve a little success, you will be able to heal yourself and prolong your life. ”
Zhao Shangxiong was overjoyed when he heard this, and after thinking about Xu Ziyang's words, he asked with a little hesitation: "What does my cousin mean, let Liying practice with you?"
Xu Ziyang replied, "Not bad." I won't live in Dizhou for a long time, and seeking Taoism and cultivating is not an overnight effort. Liying is young, and if there is no one to guide and protect her, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. Moreover, I look at Liying, who is quite spiritual, and is really a good seedling of cultivation, and I intend to accept her as a disciple. What do you think of my cousin?"
Xu Ziyang thought that Zhao Shangxiong would be very entangled and embarrassed, but he didn't expect Zhao Shangxiong to hesitate for a moment, and then agreed: "Liying is the body of Xuanyin, staying by our side is destined to not last long." Only a monk can turn her from danger to safety and bring her back to life. Moreover, in this world, from the emperor to the common people, who doesn't want to become immortals? Who doesn't want to live forever? It's just that they don't have a chance. Since she has this fate, I am happy, how can I not allow it?"
The matter has been decided, Xu Ziyang accepted another apprentice, he was in a good mood, and continued to ask: "Cousin has been unsettled recently, could it be that another child is missing?"
"Yes, yesterday I got the news that another child was missing in the neighboring city. When he mentioned this, Zhao Shangxiong was uneasy in his heart.
"What can the government find out about the disappearance of children in the past two years?"
Zhao Shangxiong said with a sad face: "There is no clue at all, and the perpetrator did not leave any traces at all, as if they all disappeared out of thin air." ”
Xu Ziyang's brows tightened after hearing this, and he said, "Cousin, you quickly pick a few loyal and reliable guards, take your sister-in-law and children and leave the Zhao Mansion quickly, and find a place to take refuge." Don't go out if you're fine, don't go out of Pingzhou City, in case something happens, I can also go to the rescue quickly. ”
Hearing Xu Ziyang say so seriously, Zhao Shangxiong was very puzzled and asked, "Could it be that my cousin knows who did it?"
Xu Ziyang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I suspect that this matter is related to cultivators." ”
