The gray figure approached and bowed his hand, and the four of them saw clearly that this person was actually a white old man over sixty years old. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info old man is very modest, and he really has the style of a reclusive gentleman. After a few people had finished their rituals, the old man led everyone through the first and second fancy arches, turned left and passed through the three or four elegant courtyards, and came to a hall with bright and clean windows.

Everyone sat down, and saw that although the hall was simply furnished, it was exquisite everywhere, and they couldn't help but praise it.

The old man smiled slightly, clapped his hands gently, and after a while, Yingying walked out of the inner hall with two extremely handsome maids, and poured tea for everyone one by one. The old man said: "Wild tea in the countryside, although it is not as famous as Biluochun in Jiangnan and Pu'er in Fujian, it can be imported anyway." ”

Li Xuan didn't understand the tea ceremony, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip, but when he felt that the tea was slightly bitter at the beginning, it was slightly bitter, but in an instant, the bottom of the tongue was full of relish, and the fragrance was smooth and slightly sweet.

Zhuge Dongfang put down the teacup, arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask the old man's name." The old man smiled and said, "I am an anonymous person hidden in the mountains, how can I have a name." Zhuge Dongfang shook his head and said: "That's because the old man refuses to teach me and other laypeople!

The old man smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuge don't want to brag about my old bones......!" The old man is just a slave on this village, just because he has served the old owner for a long time, and the young owner pities me for being lonely and helpless, and can't bear to leave me, so he gives some stable food to support the elderly. Miss Yuan Si was concerned about the condition of the two children, and when she heard their polite exchanges, she couldn't help but scream: "Young farmer, doesn't your old owner live in this village?"

The anonymous old man nodded and said, "The old owner has been dead for many years, and this place is taken care of by the young owner of my family. This lady, are you looking for our old owner on this trip?" Miss Yuan Si nodded, looking worried, looked at Zhuge Dongfang, her eyes were red, and she sighed: "I heard that the old master of Wuchen Villa is a wise doctor, so we are rushing here." The anonymous old man looked at Ah Yang and Ah Niu casually, smiled slightly, seemed to understand the purpose of Yuan Si Girl's trip, raised his thin big hand and beckoned to Ah Yang and Ah Niu: "Come, hurry up to Grandpa's side, let me see how you guys are doing." Ah Yang and Ah Niu were very obedient, and when they heard this, they gently broke away from Yuan Si Girl's hand and walked over timidly.

Li Xuan saw that the anonymous old man looked kind, stretched out the index and middle fingers of his left and right hands, and cut the pulse of Ah Yang and Ah Niu at the same time, he was smiling at first, but after a while, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and then he was sad, and finally slowly let go of the hands of the two children, and sighed: "Why is the condition of the two children so strange?"

Zhuge Dongfang bowed and said, "Please explain in detail to the old man." ”

The anonymous old man smiled slightly: "You can speak clearly without a few words." Judging from the pulse, the two little sons will die soon!"

Although Miss Yuan Si had been prepared for this, she was still very distressed when she heard this, and she hurriedly screamed: "That's why we are here, please save your life...... Alas...... But it seems to be too late...... Since the old owner is gone, I can only blame our two children for their thin lives!" Seeing this, the anonymous old man frowned deeply, and comforted lightly: "Madame, don't worry. Although the old owner is not in the village, but the young owner of my family is proficient in medical science, he not only has the heart to help the world, but also has the good ability to save people. If you don't worry, he may be able to save the lives of the two young sons. Miss Yuan Si was overjoyed, got up and blessed, and said, "This is the best." I have thanked you in advance. ”

The anonymous old man smiled and waved his hand, clapped his hands, and the round-faced maid who had poured tea before was graceful and wearing a floral blue background stepped forward when he heard the sound and said softly: "Old man, please command." The anonymous old man lightly ordered: "Cuiping can serve guests here, and I will come when I go." Cuiping nodded. The anonymous old man got up to say goodbye, and when he left, he stroked Ah Yang and Ah Niu and said to Yuan Si girl: "The young owner of my family has difficulty moving, and he has always rarely seen strangers. Well, if you can trust the old age, if you are willing, let me take them and ask the young owner to test the pulse. ”

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Miss Yuan had no other way, looking at the two children with tears in her eyes, she could only agree silently.

Li Xuan was going to ask the anonymous old man if he could see Tang Bing and Ah Ying being held hostage by someone passing through here, but when he saw that the anonymous old man was leaving, he stepped forward and said urgently: "Old man, please stay." Hearing this, the anonymous old man stopped, looked back at Li Xuan, and asked, "Is there something wrong with this little brother?" Li Xuan nodded, and before he could speak, he heard Yuan Si girl scream: "What can he do...... No matter how urgent I am, I'm afraid I can't rush my child's condition!"

Li Xuan listened, although he was unhappy in his heart, but he turned his mind and said secretly: "Right now, it is not known whether Tang Bing and they have been taken captive here. If I am stupid and can't explain my meaning clearly, I shouldn't delay the illness of my two children. Alas, then wait for the old man to send the two children to at least the owner, and then come back and ask for detailed advice. Thinking about it, he bowed and said apologetically: "Disturb the old man." Please go to the young owner first, and then ask the younger generation. ”

The anonymous old man nodded, glanced at Li Xuan and Yuan Si girl strangely, seemed puzzled, and turned to leave.

Everyone saw the anonymous old man leading the two children away, and they all waited silently. At the middle of the day, the anonymous old man was still nowhere to be seen, and he waited until they were so hungry that they did not show up after lunch. Miss Yuan Si was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and urged Cuiping to take a look several times, but the maid Cuiping only smiled slightly and comforted everyone, letting them wait with peace of mind.

Seeing the sun slowly sliding westward and the earth getting darker, the anonymous old man hurried to the hall. Seeing this, everyone asked in unison, "Is the child saved?" The anonymous old man looked happy and said slowly: "Although the condition of the two young sons is strange, after the young master's skillful conditioning, their lives have been saved. After a pause, he said: "It's just that I want to ask you to stay here for a few days, and only when the illness of the two young sons is completely cured can I return them." ”

Miss Yuan Si cried with joy when she heard this, Li Xuan was also happy for him, and said secretly: "Although it is hard to wait this time, I can finally ask the old gentleman about the whereabouts of Tang Bing and the others." But before he could speak, he saw a family member hurriedly enter the hall and whisper a few words in the ear of the anonymous old man. After listening to the whispers of the family, the anonymous old man's face gradually became solemn, and he hugged his fists to everyone and said: "I'm really sorry, there is an urgent matter in the village, and the old man needs to take care of it." You will stay at the Burrow tonight, and leave everything to tomorrow. After finishing speaking, he arranged a few words for Cuiping, and left with his family.

Li Xuanjian waited for a long time, and missed the opportunity to inquire, and his heart was lost, and Yuan Si girl, Zhuge Dongfang and Jin Shui learned that Ah Yang and Ah Niu were in a good mood, and they were in a good mood to see Li Xuan's listless appearance, although they didn't know what the reason was, it must be related to the words of the anonymous old man who wanted to ask him before, and they all stepped forward to comfort him, and said straight that tomorrow the old man is coming, and he must let him ask a good time. Li Xuan smiled bitterly and nodded, but the loss and worry in his heart became more and more.

After dinner, the four of them followed the maid Cuiping to a wooden house in the water pavilion.

Li Xuan saw that this water pavilion was quiet and excellent, and the lotus leaves on the water surface of the large water were continuous. At this time, although the lotus leaves are withered, the autumn scenery is still not lost from a distance.

Cui Ping led the four of them up to the Jiuqu Bridge and came to a wooden house built in a T-shape on the water. There are three wooden houses, about a dozen zhang apart, connected by arch bridges built of black yellow old bamboo. The shape of these arched bamboo bridges is extremely simple, unique, and belongs to the Jiangnan style, or because of the age, people walk on them, and every step they take, they all 'squeak, squeak' and make a non-stop sound.

Miss Yuan Si and Jin Shui were assigned to the wooden house on the left, Zhuge Dongfang was in the middle, and Li Xuan was assigned to the wooden house on the far right.

Cui Ping saw that the four of them were cleaned up, so she smiled and closed the door and left.

At this time, the night is getting darker, the bustling and lively birds fade away, and the night insects begin to chirp. Li Xuanheyi lay down, looked up and saw the moonlight poured into the wooden house with the sparkling lake light, and the wooden house seemed to be smeared with a layer of mercury luster, like a dream, and said secretly in his heart: "I saw Bing'er writing 'cross the river and go to the dust-free villa' behind the boulder under the ridge earlier, which is supposed to point here...... Alas, during the day, I only think about how to enter the village, but I forget to look around carefully before entering the village...... Maybe she left a mark elsewhere and I overlooked it. Thinking like this, my heart couldn't help but surge with excitement, sat up, kept patting my head vigorously, and secretly scolded myself for being greedy for comfort, maybe I was lying here comfortably at this time, while Tang Bing and A Ying were being tortured by others!

Li Xuanzheng couldn't stop thinking and couldn't sleep, and suddenly heard a very weak breathing sound in the room.

This realization not only surprised him, but even made him a little incredulous. Because the furnishings in this wooden house are extremely simple, except for the wooden bed under him, the wooden table and chair by the window, and a simple bamboo floor flower tube in the corner of the house, there is nothing else.

Where does the sound come from? Could you have misheard?

Li Xuan condensed carefully, and the extremely thin breathing sound was not only still there, but it was also thin and long, which seemed to be emitted by a transparent person.

He got out of bed and searched carefully several times, and finally landed on the simple bamboo floor flower tube in the corner of the room. Because he found that this bamboo floor flower tube seemed to be placed on the ground, but it actually extended from under the wooden ground.

Li Xuan leaned over lightly and listened carefully, and the sound of extremely thin breathing really came from the flower tube. It seems that this flower tube must have passed through the bottom of the lake to some mysterious place. At this time, there must be someone at one end of the flower tube eavesdropping, or monitoring his every move in the wooden house. The night breeze is gentle, the lake is sparkling, and the moonlight is slightly shaking. This Zhuangzi is really not simple! He pondered everything he had seen after entering the village, hoping to find something wrong with it, and was in a daze, but he saw a faint smoke suddenly wafting out of the bamboo floor flower tube. The smoke is beige in color, if there is any. If he was lying in bed or asleep at this time, and was not near the bamboo floor doscope, it would be extremely difficult to spot.

Li Xuan knew that the smoke wafting out was weird and weird, and it must be poisonous, so he held his breath and couldn't help but think of a prank.

He lifted the inner breath, transported it to his right palm, aimed at the caliber of the bamboo flower tube, and slapped it several times with a strong palm. The pale yellow smoke was slapped by him, and he immediately held it back. After a while, I vaguely heard a muffled screaming and coughing sound coming from the bamboo tube, and I couldn't help but laugh secretly. Since the pale yellow smoke was slapped back by his own palm, the person who cast the poisonous mist at one end of the bamboo tube must be alert. He looked around at the situation around him, and was thinking about how to leave the strange wooden house, when he suddenly heard a soft sound outside the house, and a very fast figure flashed in front of the window. It seems that the sound of the right person 'clucking' must be the sound of this extremely fast figure stepping on the bamboo bridge.

Who is this man? What is he going to do in such a dark night?

Li Xuan lightly jumped to the door, looked out through the crack in the door, and saw the lake under the moonlight, the wind blows the residual lotus, rolls freely, the empty water surface and the Jiuqu small bridge are empty, only the far lakeside, those entangled and intertwined maple branches and willow trees, swaying slightly, but there is no flying figure! Someone stepped on the bamboo bridge before, making a sound, and he could detect it, why didn't Zhuge Dongfang, Jinshui, and Yuan Si girls notice it? Could it be that they also have a mechanism for bamboo floor flower tubes in their house? Li Xuan has the essence and blood of a cockscomb python and is not afraid of poisons, so it is difficult to judge the strange smoke. With a thought in his mind, he took out the dragon scale fish beads from his arms and shook them slightly in the wooden house, and saw that the beads, which were originally as white as jade, were instantly covered with a layer of pale black color. Sure enough, it's poisonous. It seems that this place will not be able to stay for long!

He pushed the wooden door open the gap, shrunk his body, and used the Treasure Source Divine Skill to move the muscles and bones, like a projectile swept outward.

Li Xuanren was in the air, he didn't dare to exert too much force, he didn't wait for his body to fall completely, lowered his arms, and used the power of one finger to get a little on the railing of the Wuhuang Bamboo Bridge, and with the help of a vertical, he flew to the front of Zhuge Dongfang House. He looked inside through the crack in the door, and saw that Zhuge Dongfang's room was also filled with pale yellow smoke at this time, but what made him strange was that the futons on Zhuge Dongfang's bed were stacked neatly, and it seemed that they had not been touched at all. When did Zhuge Dongfang disappear, and where did he go?

Could it be that the person who flew by at the right time was Zhuge Dongfang!

Li Xuan knew that time was pressing and the situation was strange, so he didn't go to the wooden house of Yuan Si and Jin Shui to inspect it, but his body turned upside down, according to the previous body method, when he fell in the air, his arm drooped, and he flicked the Jiuqu Bridge with the power of his fingertips, and so many times he had reached the water's edge.

The moonlight is like silver, and the shadows of the trees are swaying. When Li Xuan hid behind the shadow of the tree and contemplated the film, he took a deep breath, and with the memory he had left when he came, he rushed all the way to the hall where he had stayed during the day. He was running in a hurry, when he suddenly heard a human voice from behind a tall wooden house on his right, and quickly gathered his momentum and jumped onto the roof of the wooden house. At this time, two people stood behind the tall wooden house. A slender and pale-faced, wide gray robe swayed like a ghost under the moon. A smiling face, although the sideburns are more white and less black, but no matter whether they stand or look, they are calm and calm.

When Li Xuan saw the two people behind the wooden house, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, because these two people were none other than Zhuge Dongfang, who was very arrogant, and the anonymous old man who left in a hurry during the day. Zhuge Dongfang looked at the old man of the Anonymous clan with a solemn expression, and said coldly: "Anonymous clan? Hmph, I heard that there were five people in the Mo Gang back then, and among them were twin brothers with strong martial arts. It is said that the two brothers have strange temperaments, like to fight when they disagree, and once ranked in the yamen of the anti-theft world in the word 'qi', the elder brother is called Ding Qiankun, and the younger brother is called Ding Cangqiong. I wonder who you are?"

When the anonymous old man heard this, he smiled and said, "The little old man is not talented, it is his younger brother Ding Cangqiong." Ding Cangqiong coughed dryly a few times, and asked with a smile: "How do you know that the old decay is in this villa?" Zhuge Dongfang smiled proudly, and said gloomily: "Your portrait has already been filed in the inner and outer five mansions, even if you are old, your hair is gray, and your waist is stiff, but you are always you, and you can't change it if you burn it to ashes." As he spoke, he sighed and said, "If today, there is no one who can escape the pursuit of the warriors of the Inner and Outer Five Mansions. Even Ding Cangqiong, who has always been cunning and good at hiding, will not be an exception. ”

Li Xuan crouched on the roof, not daring to breathe, hearing that this old man was actually one of the Ding brothers who were as famous as Shangguan Xiaoxiong, Yan Wuving, and Long Hongye, he couldn't help but feel worried, and said secretly: "It turns out that this person is actually Ding Cangqiong among the Ding brothers...... Ah...... Wrong...... I remember that that day, Senior Zhu Shanhe reminded me to be careful of Tang Bing, because Senior Zhu firmly believed that the footwork she made was very similar to the Yin and Yang Qiankun steps made by the Ding brothers. If this old man is one of the Ding brothers, then wouldn't the person who kidnapped Tang Bing hide here, wouldn't he have thrown himself into the net!"

For some reason, he suddenly felt like a numb heart, an inexplicable panic hit his heart, and an ominous premonition hovered in his mind, and he said secretly: "But what if the Ding brothers have no relationship with Tang Bing? Well, Yan Wushu once told me that in order to take the treasure source secret from him, the Ding brothers actually fought against each other in spite of their old friendship. From this point of view, this Ding brother is not a good person......" He was thinking nonsense, but he heard Zhuge Dongfang say lightly: "In order to find your two brothers, I have really taken great pains for many years. Now, it seems that it is not a lot of work!"

Ding Cangqiong nodded when he heard this, and said, "I have already seen that you were surprised when you first saw me. But I didn't expect you to be from the inner and outer five provinces. He paused, and said with a slight smile: "I have no grievances with you, I am not related to you, what are you looking for us to do? Do you want to recognize my two brothers as my own grandfather?" Zhuge Dongfang snorted coldly and said: "Since you know that I am a person from the five inner and outer provinces, do you still want to continue to pretend to be confused?" Ding Cangqiong smiled and said: "Pretend to be confused? Zhuge boy, I advise you to disappear from my eyes as soon as possible, and from then on we will still not interfere with the river water." Hey...... Don't forget, the two children who came with you are still in the hands of the young owner, if you annoy the old man, don't blame me for not talking about the morality of the rivers and lakes!"

Zhuge Dongfang shook his head and sighed: "Ding Cangqiong is not complacent. Have you forgotten that when the first emperor was critically ill and the palace was uneasy, you stole dozens of treasures from Ouchi? I am here today, I didn't expect to meet you, but the sky net is restored, and you are still bumped into by me. Come, I will fulfill the order of the court and claim these treasures. ”

When Ding Cangqiong heard this, he stared at Zhuge Dongfang seriously, and laughed: "Zhuge boy, don't speak under the banner of the imperial court. Your sudden appearance has already disturbed me, and if you don't listen to persuasion and leave your life here, don't regret it. Zhuge Dongfang smiled and said, "It's disturbing you, what bad things are you brewing?" Let's hear it!" )
