Chapter 21 Ten Thousand Bat Caves, Red-billed Bats.

"What is Childe's plan?" Ziyu asked anxiously.

"Do you remember that day after I played the flute in your Huangjiazhuang, everyone was hypnotized when they heard it?" Wu You asked Huang Ziyu rhetorically.

"Of course I do. Gongzi blew the jade flute that day, and everyone present in Huangjiazhuang was unconsciously blown asleep by your flute. I see, Childe is going to hypnotize the bat in this cave with the sound of a flute. Ziyu said with great joy.

Huang Ziyu hesitated for a moment and then asked, "This flute can hypnotize ordinary people, but I don't know if it can hypnotize these bats?"

"I hypnotized the Western Regions good horse in the fifth village before, and I guess this bat can also be hypnotized. Wu You replied.

"There's a problem at the moment. If I hypnotize bats, I will hypnotize you. How can I catch those bats by myself," Wu You hesitated for a moment and said.

Ziyu also pondered.

"Childe, I have a way. When you hypnotized the bat, I dived into the water, and the sound of the flute could not reach the water, so it must not have hypnotized me. Once they've been hypnotized, it's not too late for me to come out of the water and catch them with you. Ziyu said wittily.

"That's the way it can go. I'll go ashore first, and you'll be a little prepared. Wu You said.

Wu You gently climbed onto the bank of the dark river. cleaned up the water in the jade flute and waved at Ziyu in the river. Ziyu understood the meaning, held her breath deeply, and waited quietly for Wu You to blow the jade flute.

A moment later, Wu You played the "Song of Dust and Clear Heart" in the Ten Thousand Bat Cave. Slowly the cave began to fall silent, and the lone bats all returned to the cave wall and hung upside down.

And it worked. Wu You was overjoyed.

Wu You saw that the bats were all asleep, and took the torch from the crack in the stone. Ziyu also found time to climb up from the river, took off the cloth bag prepared in advance from his body, and the two looked for a place in the cave.

Huang Ziyu was soaked in the water of the dark river in the cave for a long time, and the water was cold and biting. It was so cold that his hands and feet were a little disobedient when he went ashore.

Seeing this, Wu You gave him the torch in his hand, took the cloth bag himself, and made Izumo Dance look around the cave.

It didn't take long for Wu You to return to Ziyu and whisper: "It's still not good, the torches are too dark to see clearly." It's better to go out first and figure it out. ”

Wu You picked up the score from the ground and led Ziyu out of the Ten Thousand Bat Cave quietly.

At this time, it was also close to dusk outside the cave, and the sky was gradually getting darker.

After discussing for a moment at the entrance of the cave, the two of them went around to find some dry wood and dry grass. After that, the two quietly entered the cave, divided the dry firewood and withered grass into several piles and placed them around the cave, and lit the firewood piles one after another. The main cave was suddenly brightly lit.

Wu You was worried that the bat would wake up soon, so he asked Ziyu to wait at the entrance of the cave, and he blew half a cup of tea in the cave when he was in the "Dust and Pure Heart Song".

Wu You came out of the cave and shouted to Shang Ziyu to enter the cave again to look for the red-billed bat. There are really not many red-billed bats, they are not big, and most of them are hidden next to large ordinary bats.

The two used the branches as clips to perform a light body technique. Jump up and down, left and right in the hole. It took about half an hour to catch more than 100 of them. The flute was so loud that the bats were still asleep when they were placed in the sacks.

The two didn't dare to stay, so they took a cloth bag and rode away from the Ten Thousand Bat Cave.

After running less than a few dozen feet, the bat in the cloth bag was woken up by the jolting of the fast horse and began to "squeak" non-stop.

Suddenly, Wu You and Ziyu heard a large number of bat calls coming from the Ten Thousand Bat Cave. When he looked back, he saw a swarm of bats flying out of the Ten Thousand Bat Cave and rushing straight towards them.

The two did not dare to slack off. Grasp the reins and whip sharply. While spurring the fast horse, he swung it behind him to scatter the bats. Seeing this, the white crane also slipped behind the two of them, and used the crane dance to help resist.

The fast horse ran for another two or three miles, and the bat gradually disappeared behind him. The two of them slowed down, and they were both glad that they had escaped death just now. At this time, Wu You's horse suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and black blood, and died instantly.

When the horse fell to the ground, Wu You also jumped to the ground quickly, and he took a closer look and found that there were several small wounds on the horse's buttocks that had been bitten by bats.

"It's so poisonous, this horse can die quickly after a few bites, Shicai is really dangerous. Wu You said in surprise.

"The horse also ran too fast, which exacerbated the spread of poison in the meridians. Son, hurry up and get on the horse, the two of us will ride a horse together, and hurry back to see the master of the Li Gate. Ziyu echoed.

Wu You looked at the dead horses on the ground, and his heart felt sour. Then jumped to Ziyu's horse and hugged Ziyu tightly. The two of them hurried towards Jiangjiazhuang.

The two tied their horses in Jiangjiazhuang, and galloped to the thatched hut of Jiang Po in the bamboo forest on foot.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what's wrong with my Yunmei?" asked Wu You loudly before he entered the hut.

Jiang Miaozi walked out of the side room at this time, blocked Wu You and said, "Why is the son shouting? Miss Li has been driven out of the poison in her body by her mother-in-law, and she is still in a coma at this time. The old man has been busy for a long time, and she has also rested. The master explained that there is some coarse food in the kitchen, and the two of you will eat some first, and then rest in the side room next door, and then get up tomorrow to talk about it. ”

Only then did Wu You realize that the sky had completely darkened, and candles had been lit in the hut.

According to Jiang Miaozi's words, the two found some cooked food in the kitchen to fill their stomachs, and then quietly returned to the side room next door to clean up their wet clothes, and then quietly lay down and blew the lamp to rest.

This night, Wu You didn't close his eyes all night. He has been looking forward to the dawn and hoping that Li Yunshang will be safe.

The genius was bright, and Wu You heard footsteps outside the house. Wu You immediately turned over and got up, and Ziyu was also awakened. Follow Wu You to get dressed too.

The two walked out of the side room and saw Jiang Miaozi packing up the herbs and medicine jars, as if they were going to decoct the medicine.

"Miss Jiang early, did your mother-in-law get up, how is Sister Yun?" Wu You stepped forward and asked eagerly.

"My mother-in-law has already gotten up, she is examining Miss Li's wounds, and I am also going to decoct Miss Li. Jiang Miaozi replied.

"Thank you, mother-in-law and Miss Jiang. Wu You said gratefully.

"The little doll is awake too? Come in. At this time, Jiang Po shouted in the house.

After hearing this, Wu You and Ziyu hurriedly entered Jiang Po's side room, only to see Li Yunshang lying on the bed, pale and slightly struggling eyes. Jiang Po was sitting on the side and giving her a pulse.

Li Yunshang watched Wu You come in, a smile appeared on her face, and tears quietly slipped down her pillow. She was glad that she was alive and that she could see her beloved. It was this person who didn't give up on her when she was desperate. These tears are fluke, satisfied, touched, and happy.

"Mother-in-law has worked hard. What's wrong with Sister Yun?" Wu You stepped forward and looked at Li Yunshang affectionately, and asked respectfully in a low voice.

"This Jin man is indeed vicious, not only using a hidden weapon to hit the vital point, but also using severe poison. Yesterday, the poison in this girl's body has been cleaned up by the old woman for eight or nine minutes, and she will drink some more decoction medicine later, and she will definitely be able to completely remove it. ”

Jiang Po paused and said, "But this girl was injured by a hidden weapon on the lumbar meridians, and the meridians were seriously damaged. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk anymore. ”

"What, mother-in-law, you have to think of a way. The younger generation knows that her mother-in-law's medical skills are supernatural, and she will definitely be able to make Yunmei recover. Wu You heard that he was anxious and begged Jiang Po.

"My old woman is not an old gentleman, Lu Dongbin is alive. I will do my best if there is a way, and besides, this female doll is also a disciple that the old woman has a fancy to, so why should I shirk it?" Jiang Po said sharply.

"Brother You, don't embarrass your mother-in-law, she has done her best. Don't be sad, I'm so satisfied to see you alive again. At this time, Li Yunsheng on the bed said weakly.

After hearing this, Wu You stepped forward and grabbed Li Yunsheng's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister Yun, it's all my fault for not being good." Failed to protect you from such a great sin. Yun Mei rest assured, I will definitely take good care of you in the future, so that you will no longer suffer any grievances. ”

Huang Ziyu saw this on the side, and secretly shed tears.

"Little doll, did the red-billed bat ever catch it?" Jiang Po seemed to be moved by the two, and didn't want to see the two of them grieve like this, so she suddenly changed the topic and asked Wu You.

"Tell my mother-in-law that the younger generation and my brother were lucky enough to catch more than 100 red-billed bats, all of which were in the bag outside the door. Wu You replied.

"Hahaha, the little doll went out to see if there were any bats in the bag?" Jiang Po asked with a laugh.

Wu You and Ziyu hurriedly ran out of the side room and came to the door of the hut to take a look. I saw that there were many small holes in the top of the cloth bag, and there was not a single bat in it. ”

"What's the matter, they're all gone?" Ziyu exclaimed.

"Hang me, just worry about Sister Yun's injury, and forget all about bats. Wu You said reproachfully.

The two walked into the side room with their heads drooped, and Wu You said in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, it's all because the younger generation is careless." The bat I caught yesterday was not properly kept after I came back. Last night they bit through the sack and fled. The younger generation will go to the Ten Thousand Bat Cave to catch some and come back. ”

"Although this red-billed bat is a poison, it is all included in this vast number of living beings, and they are all living creatures with a number of lives. They also have wives and children. The old woman is a lifesaver, so how can she let you go and catch them again? Jiang Po said slowly.

"Last night the old woman expected that the two of you would be sloppy about this. He had told my disciple to count the remaining bats in the cloth bag, and put a lot more, and the remaining forty-nine were put into a thin bamboo cage. Jiang Po saw that the two were depressed and continued.

Wu You and Ziyu were surprised and delighted after hearing this. I thought that this Jiang Po had a strange temperament, but she was also a kind person with a heart. Admiration is renewed.

"The two dolls have some skills. How did you two catch these bats? and still be unharmed. It seems that all the antidotes for you are no longer useful. ”

"My old woman and her apprentice usually go to catch some, and we never go into the cave. They were only waiting for an opportunity to use a wire mesh near the entrance of the cave, and they could only catch two or three lone bats a day. Jiang Po asked curiously.

"My mother-in-law doesn't know. The younger teacher's teacher passed on a song to the younger generation, which was played on the jade flute. This song is called "Dust and Pure Heart Song", and the people who listen to the song and some living creatures will be hypnotized and fall asleep by the sound. Yesterday, the two of us hypnotized the bats in the cave before we went to catch them. Wu You explained to Jiang Po one by one.

"Is there such a wonderful music score in this world? Yesterday I heard you say that you can still drive cranes? It seems that the doll teacher is also a master in the world, and the old woman admires and admires. Jiang Po exclaimed when she heard Wu You.

"What my mother-in-law said is that the younger teachers are indeed the same as my mother-in-law, they are all masters in this world, and they all like to cultivate. What the younger generation learns from the teacher is less than one-tenth of the teacher's ability. ”

"Alas, although the sound of the flute helped us both yesterday, we both almost died. My fast horse was chased by a bat that woke up in the cave, and I was bitten alive and poisoned to death," Wu You said.

"The little doll is modest. Since the three of you have completed the two things that the old woman has explained, do you agree to this third thing?" Jiang Po continued to ask.

"Mother-in-law is merciful. You see that Yun Mei has been injured like this. If you stay with your mother-in-law, I'm afraid you will have to trouble your mother-in-law to take care of it. The younger generation wants to take Yunmei to Chongqing Mansion to accompany and take care of her. The younger generation is brave and asks the mother-in-law to make a request again, and the younger generation will never shirk and do its best to do it. Wu You said decisively.

"The little doll is a person who values love and righteousness, thousands of times stronger than the hypocrite surnamed Xu. But this matter was agreed by the old woman in advance, so how can it be changed?"

When Wu You heard Jiang Po say this, his face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know what to do.

"Does the little doll want your little daughter-in-law to be able to walk as freely as before, or do you want to accompany her every day and make her disabled for life?"

Of course, the younger generation hopes that Yunmei can fully recover, and they also want to accompany Yunmei every day. Has my mother-in-law come up with a way to heal Yun Mei?" Wu You asked eagerly.

Jiang Po slowly said to Wu You: "Heaven has already made arrangements in the dark. The brass chair and white feather fan that the two of you retrieved in Kongming Valley seem to have been calculated by the ancestor Jiang Wei and are going to be passed on to this girl. With this brass chair, this female doll can come and go freely, and she can go to Zhejiang with the old woman to find the old man Xu. ”

"This girl can already calculate the sky and understand yin and yang. With a white feather fan, she can help her to predict the future. If you learn some trivial skills from the old woman, you will definitely be able to benefit the world. ”

After listening to this, Wu You understood Jiang Po's intentions in his heart. Jiang Po took Li Yunshang to find Xu Daozi, and the second was that she really wanted to accept Li Yunshang as an apprentice.

"It's a long way to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even if you have this brass chair, it's very difficult on the way. If Yun Mei goes to Zhejiang with her mother-in-law, when will the younger generation see her again? The younger generation swore in the ancestral hall that they would never leave her for life and death. Wu You said contradictoryly.

"The old woman asked the doll just now, do you want your little daughter-in-law to get better?" asked Jiang Po impatiently.

"Didn't my mother-in-law say that you have no way to heal Sister Yun?" Wu You was surprised and asked rhetorically.

"Just because my old woman can't cure this girl doesn't mean that others can't cure her. The hypocrite surnamed Xu, his skill of connecting the scriptures and cultivating the veins is unparalleled in the world. If she can find him, this girl will be restored to her former state. Jiang Po replied.

Wu You was overjoyed when he heard this. Huang Ziyu was also happy for him and Li Yunsheng.
