Chapter 18 Kong Ming Valley, Eight Formations.
"Since you know, little doll, tell me where the other person is?" asked Jiang Po in the house.
"The juniors can tell the seniors where Xu Daozi is. But the seniors also had to promise the juniors to go to Langzhong to treat the Hou Ye. Hou Ye's life is hanging by a thread now, and he only has one month to live. Wu You also said.
"If you don't say it, it's fine. My old woman wouldn't want to know this person's whereabouts. This surnamed Zhang eats royal rice and official food. I'm not going to break my own rules for him. Jiang Po said lightly in the house.
"Can the seniors really be relieved?" Wu You asked.
"What can I do if I don't let go? It's been more than 80 years, and I can't remember what this person looks like. ”
"If there is no longer a predecessor of Xu Daozi in the hearts of the seniors, why not change the rule of not treating people surnamed Xu? In this case, the people surnamed Xu in Sichuan will applaud. I am more grateful to my mother-in-law than Dade. Li Yunshang suddenly interrupted and said.
"Presumptuous, who are you? dare to talk nonsense here. My old woman can set whatever rules she wants. How can you let a yellow-haired girl point fingers. Jiang Po said angrily.
The seniors are angry, and the juniors are also blunt. The younger generation of Qishan Li Yunshang is the descendant of Li Chunfeng, a person from Xuanmen in the early Tang Dynasty. Li Yunshang got up and saluted the side room and said.
"It turned out to be a descendant of Li Chunfeng, no wonder he had such a tone. I heard that a few days ago, the Yuan Li Doufa Conference was very lively. Jiang Po heard this and said.
"The younger generation and the senior sister of the Yuan family are only exalting the ancestors to learn one or two. How dare we show off our skills in front of my mother-in-law? My mother-in-law's medical skills are famous all over the world, and they are unique, and the younger generation admires them from the bottom of their hearts. Li Yunshang said.
"Hahaha, the female doll has a very sweet mouth. The descendants of the Yuan family had a relationship with my old woman a few years ago, and they do have some skills. Don't be presumptuous here, the old woman is not confused. Jiang Po said with a laugh.
"Xu Daozi's predecessors are in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang. Wu You said coldly.
There was no one in the hut for a moment, and everyone seemed to be thinking.
After a while, Wu You continued: "Xu Daozi's predecessors lived in seclusion in Tiantai Mountain decades ago. After the Battle of Huang Tiandang, he treated General Han Shizhong for arrow wounds. Later, he accepted another disciple and called it the "Fifth Rite". He also passed on the "Thirty-three Chapters of Ghost Hands" to him. ”
"It is said that it is to travel, not to escape in the mountains. This hypocrite, a complete liar. Jiang Po suddenly said angrily.
"He, is he still in this world?" asked Jiang Po in a low voice.
"This junior has no way of knowing. Mother-in-law and Xu Daozi's predecessors are both masters outside the world, and both of them must be people from Nanshan. Wu You said comfortingly.
"Xu Daozi's predecessors and disciples also moved from Chang'an to Sichuan. A few days ago, the late generation stayed in the fifth house for a few days. Back then, the gangsters snatched "Thirty-three Chapters of Ghost Hands" from the fifth family, and the fifth family is now looking around. ”
Huang Ziyu and Li Yunshang were stunned when they heard this. Only then did I understand that the fifth Lan was after the fifth ceremony of Xu Daozi's successor.
"In the early years, I heard that there was a fifth hall in Chang'an, and the person sitting in the hall was rejuvenated, and was called the "fifth immortal", which turned out to be the apprentice of this hypocrite surnamed Xu. Jiang Po said.
"The younger generation has told her mother-in-law what she knows. Please also ask your mother-in-law to see this fate and be sure to go to Langzhong. Wu You got up and saluted the inside of the house and said.
At this time, Jiang Miaozi helped an old lady walk out of the side room.
I saw this old lady, with a ruddy complexion, crane hair and a childish face, and a flowered robe. looks the same age as Jiang Rushan, although he is old, he still has a beautiful face.
The three of them exclaimed in their hearts: "This is Jiang Po? Where does this look like a centenarian? Could it be that he has taken the elixir of rejuvenation?"
The three of them paused for a moment and hurriedly greeted them.
Jiang Po didn't return the courtesy, and went straight to the upper seat and sat down. Jiang Miaozi beckoned the three of them to sit at the table, and then stood behind Jiang Po.
"These are what you want to say, little doll, and my old woman didn't force you to say it. My old woman will never go to Langzhong City. ”
Wu You looked helpless after hearing this, and didn't know how to persuade him again.
"Mother-in-law, doesn't she want to renew her relationship with Xu Daozi's predecessors?" Li Yunshang asked softly.
"My relationship with that hypocrite was severed eighty years ago. Jiang Po replied sharply.
"The younger generation has something to say directly, please don't be angry. Li Yunshang continued.
"What does the girl doll have to say? The old woman is a rough person in the mountains and wilderness, and she can't beat around the bush. ”
"Just look at the face of my mother-in-law, who is one hundred and three years old this year. The younger generation has the courage to calculate, and the mother-in-law still has 19 years of longevity and 19 years of marriage. Li Yunshang said lightly.
"Bastard. If you say that the old woman will live for another nineteen years, the old woman will still believe it. I am more than 100 years old, and it is ridiculous that you say that you have 19 years of marriage. Where did this marriage come from?" Jiang Po said angrily.
"This marriage is in the East. The person my mother-in-law is most worried about in this world is the person who dies with my mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law does not grasp the current fate, she will regret it for life. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Yunsheng finish speaking. Of course, Wu You and Ziyu believed what Li Yunshang said, and they could also see her skills clearly at the Langzhong Fighting Law Conference.
"Alas, there are many empty thoughts for a long time, and this hatred lasts forever. Jiang Po thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
Xu Daozi's predecessors must also regret it very much, otherwise why would he also learn from his mother-in-law to live in seclusion in the mountains? The younger generation is expected to miss his mother-in-law very much. He must have felt that he had no face to face his mother-in-law, so he never came back to find his mother-in-law. Now he must think that his mother-in-law is no longer in the world, and he must only look up to the sky every day and be melancholy. Li Yunshang looked at Jiang Po sincerely and said.
The hut was quiet again.
After a long time, Jiang Po said slowly: "How can the rules set by my old lady be changed? If three things can be done, my old woman can let the little apprentice Miaozi go to Langzhong to ensure that the marquis is fine. ”
"Seniors, please tell me, even if there are 10,000 things, the younger generations also promise their mother-in-law. As long as the mother-in-law can help Hou Ye. Wu You said happily.
"Don't say yes too early, these three things are also extremely difficult. I'll finish talking first, and it's not too late for the three of you to think about it before agreeing. ”
"Senior, please speak. Wu You said urgently.
"First things first. There is a valley five miles away from this valley. Calling the name "Kongming Valley", there is a "Wuhou Temple" in the valley. There is a grotto in the ancestral hall, and there are two things in the grotto. The three of them can take these two things back. ”
Wu You asked in surprise: "How can there be a "Wuhou Temple" in this mountain?"
"Zhuge Kongming did his best for Shu Han back then, and he worked hard. Sichuan and Hanzhong are full of ancestral halls to remember him, and there are several places in the size of Jianmen Pass. There's one here, so what's so strange about that. Jiang Po said.
"Oh, I see. Just to fetch two things, is it as simple as that?" Wu You continued.
"You're light. How can these two things be easily obtained? Can you three dolls know that Zhuge Kongming set up the "Strange Stone Henge" to trap Lu Xun, the Governor of Eastern Wu?" Jiang Po asked.
"Of course I do. In that year, after Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu, burned Liu Bei's company camp for 700 miles, he led his soldiers to chase and kill Liu Bei. mistakenly broke into Zhuge Liangbu's "strange stone henge", but fortunately Kong Ming's father-in-law Huang Chengyan helped him escape from the strange formation. Huang Ziyu said sarcastically. Of course he knew this, after all, the ancestor was also a general of Shu Han.
The younger generation also heard the master talk about this "strange stone henge". I heard that it is very weird, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out. Those who entered the battle were killed and nine wounded. Wu You followed.
This array is actually called the "Eight Array Diagram", which is arranged according to the five elements of the eight trigrams, the sun, moon and stars. Li Yunshang also said.
"The female doll is worthy of being Li Chunfeng's descendant and understands the mystery. This array is called the "Eight Array Diagram". There is also this array in this "Kongming Valley", and the Wuhou Temple is in the center of the "Eight Arrays". It is very difficult to retrieve the contents of the grotto. Jiang Po said.
"The juniors really can't figure it out. Why do you want to build the "Wuhou Temple" here? You also need to put up an "eight-array diagram." Wu You asked.
"The three dolls don't know anything. My ancestor was originally after the Shu Han general "Jiang Wei". ”
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them were taken aback. Wu You thought to himself: "It turns out that the people of Jiangjiazhuang are also after the famous generals of the Shu Han Dynasty. ”
Jiang Po continued: "Back then, the ancestor of the family was deeply respected by Zhuge Kong Ming, and Kong Ming had the grace of knowing the ancestor in the Shu Han court, and he was the ancestor of the family in private. Zhuge Kongming was very proficient in the art of war, astronomy, Xuanmen techniques, mechanical techniques, and medical skills throughout his life. He also passed on all these unique knowledge to his ancestor Jiang Wei. ”
"Due to the continuous wars in those years, the ancestors of the family had little time to explore these, and only had attainments in the art of war and the number of Xuanmen techniques. ”
After the death of Zhuge Liangxian, the ancestor of the family built the "Wuhou Temple" in the nameless valley to remember the teacher, and also named the nameless valley "Kongming Valley".
Then, the ancestor laid down the "Eight Arrays" in the valley, and placed the two treasures that Zhuge Liang passed on to him in the grotto of the Wuhou Temple, hoping that future generations of people who are destined can get it. ”
"I see, my mother-in-law wants the three of me to help you get the baby home. Wu You said.
"No, no. The legacy of the ancestors is allowed to be obtained by those who are destined, how dare we and other descendants disobey it. The old woman was just curious about what was hidden inside the grotto. If the three of them can get it, the old woman will also take a look. The treasure must belong to the three dolls. Jiang Po said.
"If the younger generation can obtain two things, they will not dare to get them alone, and they will definitely return to their original owners. Wu You said.
"Little doll, who are you from my Jiang family? Do you want my old woman to bear the sin of forgetting her ancestors?" Jiang Po scolded angrily.
"Mother-in-law is angry, if the younger generation can get the baby, it will be according to what the mother-in-law said. May I also ask my mother-in-law, is your Jiang family setting up a village here to take care of the treasures in this grotto?" Wu You asked soothingly.
"Hahaha, little doll, you are underestimating the "Eight Array Diagram". In this thousand years, many people want to get the treasure in the array. Those who are in danger will either be trapped in the battle and lose their lives, or they will be injured and escape in embarrassment. "Kongming Valley" has always been a forbidden place for my Jiang family, and all the heirs of the Jiang family are not allowed to enter the valley. Why send someone to watch over it?"
"Our Jiang family is a descendant of our ancestor Jiang Weiyan, and we are all people who guard the graves of our ancestors. After the ancestor was killed, he was buried on the mountain behind the Sword Gate. In the past thousand years, some clansmen have moved back to their hometown of Xiliang one after another, but dozens of families have always been left to stick to this place. ”
"I see, the people of Jiangjiazhuang are indeed loyal and filial people. Being able to take care of the ancestral cemetery here for nearly a thousand years is really admired by the younger generations. Wu You said respectfully.
"Mother-in-law said the second thing I had to do. Wu You asked.
Ten miles northwest of this valley, there is a "Ten Thousand Bat Cave". The cave extends in all directions, winding and rugged, and there are holes in the holes. There are hundreds of thousands of poisonous bats hidden inside. The second thing I want to say is to ask the three dolls to go to the Ten Thousand Bat Cave to catch 7749 red-billed bats. ”
"This red-billed bat is one of the few species in the Ten Thousand Bat Cave. Compared to other bats, they are small and slightly smaller, with a slender mouth, a bright red mouth, and the most toxic in the mouth. If you are bitten by other bats, you can survive for a day. If you are bitten by it, you will not live for more than three hours. Jiang Po said.
"I don't know, what is the use of my mother-in-law asking for poisonous bats?" Wu You asked in surprise.
"If you wait to catch it, you will catch it. If you don't dare, it's over. Why do you ask so much?" replied Jiang Po impatiently.
"Go, go, go. Juniors must go. What is the last thing about my mother-in-law?" Wu You continued to ask.
"If the three of you can come back, the old woman will let this girl worship me as a teacher. Stay with me, the old woman, until you find the hypocrite of Xu Daozi. Jiang Po pointed at Li Yunshang and said.
"What? I'm afraid it won't work. The juniors only know that Xu Daozi's predecessors were in Tiantai Mountain decades ago. Whether it is still there at this time, the younger generation does not know. If the seniors can't find Xu Daozi's seniors, doesn't this Miss Li always have to accompany her mother-in-law?" Wu You said busily.
"This girl said that my old woman has 19 years to live. If I can't find Xu Daozi, she will accompany me for 19 years. Jiang Po said lightly.
The junior promised his mother-in-law. The master is above, and the apprentice salutes the master. Li Yunshang said suddenly. Between the words, she was also ready to kneel down and salute Jiang Po.
"Slow, not in a hurry. When the three of you finish the first two things, it's not too late for you to call the master. ”
