Chapter 8 The Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital
Jing Tianming had a whim, after saying goodbye, he asked and walked along the way, the line stopped, the trees and grass along the way withered and yellowed one by one, the night wind became colder, and he walked unconsciously for more than a month, and the season has already entered autumn. Every time he took one more step, one more day, Jing Tianming felt more discouraged and hopeless. The people who asked on the road didn't say that they had never heard of any red ice cicadas, and even Shendu Mountain was everyone shaking their heads and hadn't heard of it.
"What Shendu Mountain? I haven't heard of it!" On this day, Jing Tianming asked an old farmer who was harvesting rice, and the old farmer was drenched in sweat on his forehead, and he replied while wiping his face with the wet cloth around his neck: "But there is a Wushan near here, little brother, you must not go the wrong way, that Wushan is inhabited by witches, and mortals cannot go there." 」
Shendu Mountain was not found, but the rumors of Wushan were different, Jing Tianming had heard a lot along the way, everyone painted voices and pictures said that there are vast witches living on Wushan, and an order can make the trees walk, flowers want to fly, not mortals can get close, the old farmer said from the sky, Jing Tianming has the strength to say thanks, dragging heavy footsteps and turning away.
Walking to the side of a large lake, Jing Tianming fell under a tree and slept in the open, and dreamed that he was playing with Ah Yue, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bi in the small broken temple for a while. In the blink of an eye, I dreamed that Ah Yue's whole body was cold and stiff and fell to the ground, so I tossed and turned and had nightmares, and it was early morning when I woke up when I opened my eyes.
Jing Tianming got up and walked to the lake, squatted down and washed his face, looking at his face reflected in the lake, and thought with a wry smile: "One nightmare replaces another, when will I be able to sleep soundly and have some good dreams?"
Jing Tianming looked at the open forest in front of him, but when he saw the white clouds inlaid with gold reflected on the surface of the lake, and the sunlight penetrated into the deepest part of the forest, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and shouted at the lake: "Ah Yue! You wait for me! Ah Yue! You must live and wait for me to go back!"
After picking some wild fruits to fill his stomach, he walked along the forest path that had almost disappeared until noon, when he suddenly heard a strange shout in front of him, a young man dressed in gray cloth, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long hands and feet, big eyes and nose, full forehead, and a pair of striking ears, gesturing beside a large rock.
The man looked at the sky and the earth, put his hands in a bucket shape in front of his chest, and stared ahead: "The north wind travels! The mountains and forests are in prison!
Jing Tianming was stunned and thought to himself, "Is he summoning the wind? Could he be the so-called witch?" He looked around, but saw that the sky was clear, the grass and trees were flourishing, and where was the wind? Jing Tianming laughed in his heart: "It seems that I have heard too many stories, and I can't help but be sentimental. 」
The gray-shirted young man couldn't try, but he didn't give up, scratched his head and scratched his ears, then regained his strength, stared ahead with more force, and then said, "The north wind travels!
Jing Tianming couldn't help but walk out, and the gray-shirted man also saw Jing Tianming at this time, but he held his breath and stood still, just waiting for the wind to arrive. Jing Tianming silently climbed the big stone beside him to watch, but saw that the sea of trees in all directions was standing steadily, birds and insects were singing, and there was not even a little breeze.
"The North Wind Travels!Mountains and Forests, Prison Commanders!Fire and Water!" The gray-shirted young man came again, this time as if he had exhausted all his strength. "The wind is coming!"
The noon sun shone on the two of them, the gray-shirted young man was already sweating profusely, he maintained a posture of holding one hand to the sky and waited for a while, Jing Tianming couldn't help but look around again, but saw that the leaves were quiet, and there were no waves on the lake.
The gray-shirted young man was so angry that he yelled a few times, and when he was done, he scratched his neck and grinned himself. Jing Tianming saw that his expression was calm and unannoyed, so he stepped forward and asked, "May I ask this eldest brother, how to get to Shendu Mountain?"
The gray-shirted young man looked Jing Tianming's whole body up and down, and said with a smile, "Why did you ask Shendu Mountain in Shendu Mountain how to get there?" Jing Tianming was taken aback and couldn't believe it: "This is Shendu Mountain? I asked many people along the way, and everyone said that there is only Wushan Mountain nearby, and there is no Shendu Mountain. 」
The gray-shirted young man nodded, sat down, and said, "Wushan is Shendu Mountain, and if you think that there are witches living here, you call it Wushan, and if you think there are gods living here, you call it Shendu Mountain. 」
As soon as Jing Tianming heard that he had arrived at Shendu Mountain, he laughed and jumped up with joy, not knowing that mortals were afraid of witches, so they called this mountain Wushan, and the witches worshiped the gods to live in this mountain, so they called this mountain Shendu Mountain. However, the gray-shirted young man saw that Jing Tianming was happy, and he also laughed together.
You laugh and I laugh, the two of them infect each other, and they don't know what the other party is laughing at. It didn't matter at this time, the two of them each sat down on the ground with their stomachs in their hands, laughing loudly, and suddenly the gray-shirted young man exclaimed, "Oh no! 」
Jing Tianming saw that his expression was grim, and hurriedly fell to the ground, the two of them just lay down, and in an instant, a hurricane roared from the north, only to blow the two of them with messy hair, dizziness, when the hurricane came without a trace, Jing Tianming was about to stand up, and the gray-shirted young man lying beside him hurriedly made a look and asked him not to move.
Sure enough, the first gust of wind just passed, and the second wind came, only blowing the lake water ** sound, the trees and grass were crooked, Jing Tianming saw that the wind was fierce and unstoppable, and he was also shocked.
The second gust of wind did not go, the third wind swept in, and the colorful birds in the trees, large and small, were put together into a ribbon into the air, but the wind was strong and short, and it disappeared not far from the air, and hundreds of birds were suddenly freed, and they scattered in the air with a loud roar, which was very beautiful.
Three hurricanes slammed over, and silence returned to the mountains, and Jing Tianming and the gray-shirted boy stared at each other for a long time, and then laughed in unison. Jing Tianming laughed and shouted, "Is the wind really coming?"
The gray-shirted boy also stood up and laughed, "The wind is coming!
"The wind is really coming!" Jing Tianming shouted again, "It's just too late!" This statement was broken, and the two of them couldn't suppress their laughter, and they didn't stop until a while, lying on the grass, paralyzed into a big zigzag and looking up at the clouds in the sky.
Jing Tianming gasped with a smile and said, "It's been a long, long time since I've laughed so loudly. 」
The young man asked, "What's the matter, little brother, you weren't happy before?"
"Don't make yourself too happy, you won't be too bad when you lose, don't let yourself be too good with others, so you won't be too miserable when you lose. Next to this gray-shirted young man, Jing Tianming felt relaxed for the first time in many years, and blurted out these words without thinking, but after speaking, he was stunned, and when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized a little, and seemed to understand himself better.
"Big brother, what do you call it?" Jing Tianming asked, looking at the blue sky. The gray-shirted young man replied, "My name is Mao Qiu. Little brother, what about you?"
"My name is Jing Tianming. 」
"Little brother Jing Tianming, what are you doing here?" Mao Qiu asked again.
Jing Tianming ignited hope and asked, "I'm here to find a cicada, called the Red Ice Cicada. I heard that it is only available in this Shendu Mountain, have you ever heard of it?" Mao Qiu thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of it. But I've only lived here for five years, maybe it really is, so let's take you to see my master, and his old man may know. Brother Jing, what are you looking for this thing for?"
"I heard that this red ice cicada can cure all kinds of poisons, I have an extremely good friend, he ......" Jing Tianming suddenly felt choked up when he said this, unable to say any more, and changed the topic and asked, "Brother Mao Qiu, those three winds just now, are they really summoned by you with a spell?"
"yes, it's too late. As soon as he said this, Mao Qiu couldn't help but laugh again. But this time, Jing Tianming couldn't laugh anymore, and asked again, "That big brother knows how to spell. Mao Qiu smiled, "I've only been studying for five years, so I'm not always working, hahaha." 」
Jing Tianming stared at the white clouds in the sky and asked softly, "I wonder if Big Brother's spell can bring people back to life?" Mao Qiu was silent for a long time before replying, "I don't think there is such a spell in this world. Those who died belong to the past, so what's the point of bringing them back to life?
"That's too much. Jing Tianming said in a daze, "Anyone I like, who really cares, will die. Mao Qiu turned his head and glanced at Jing Tianming, quite surprised, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was not very old but his words were desolate, but Mao Qiu's chest was empty and clear, and he said: "Since ancient times, everyone will die, I will die early, you will die late, there is no difference between them, spring, summer, autumn and winter, four seasons are orderly, the five elements are prosperous and weak, how can manpower win the sky, why should the little brother bear useless sorrows, and only increase his troubles. 」
Mao Qiu's words, listening to Jing Tianming's ears, were better than three hurricanes, and the long-depressed knots in his heart seemed to be blown away, but this comfort passed in the blink of an eye, and in an instant, it was like sitting in a sad city.
Mao Qiu turned over and stood up, patted the mud and grass on his body and said, "Let's go, little brother, my master and his old man have great powers and superb spells, and he must know what you just said...... Red frog?"
Jing Tianming got up with a smile and said, "It's the Red Ice Cicada. 」
Mao Qiu stuck out his tongue and laughed for a while, followed by a whistle in his mouth, a flower donkey shook its tail and paced when it heard the sound, licking and licking with him, Mao Qiu pointed to the donkey and introduced: "Brother Jing, this is Forget Child, Forget Child, this is Brother Jing." 」
"Forget," Jing Tianming smiled and said to the flower donkey, "Do you often go east and west to be given this kind of name?" That forgetful child seemed to be very human, and when he saw that people were making fun of him, he actually lowered his head in embarrassment, opened his nostrils and secretly breathed two breaths, as if replying, "Ashamed, ashamed." 」
The two of them got on the donkey trail and went to the Goddess Peak in the twelve peaks of Wushan, the more they walked, the steeper the mountain became, the sea of trees was lush and the road was narrower, but the forgetful er was very accustomed to walking, often in the steep mountain cliff and small trees, Zhong East bend, West turn; as if he knew the road, without the command of Mao Qiu, the pace under his feet was steady and fast, and he didn't even gasp when he went uphill, Jing Tianming praised: "Brother Mao Qiu, you are very good at forgetting. 」
Mao Qiu patted Wang'er proudly and said, "The only shortcut in the mountains is that it can go, we can't do it with our feet, if we don't forget it, we won't be able to get to the Nine Palaces of the Shendu without taking the road for two or three days, the old donkey that my master rode is called Forget, my little donkey is called Forget, our master and apprentice have not forgotten......" Mao Qiu rose up and said endlessly, but Jing Tianming interjected and asked, "Shendu Nine Palaces? Brother Mao Qiu, you just said that Shendu Nine Palaces?"
Mao Qiu didn't mind being interrupted, and as soon as the topic changed, he immediately started to talk about it, and he was full of excitement, only to hear him say, "Yes, that's right. I am the person of the Nine Palaces of the Shendu, and my master is the head of the Nine Palaces of the Shendu, and he is a great master of the Yin and Yang family, and he is one hundred and eight years old this year. 」
"One hundred and eight years old?" Jing Tianming said in disbelief.
"Yes, but my master has lived so long that he has never descended the mountain. Mao Qiu said again. "Is it true that the people who live under the mountain always like to fight and kill and kill people and do not do their jobs? Alas, since you came down from the mountain, you should know, right? Brother Jing, do you say that the people under the mountain are really full of thoughts about killing others?"
He asked Jing Tianming with just a few words. Since he left the Xianyang Palace at the age of nine, there are so many people who want to kill him. But why did they kill themselves? Could there be any other answer than the order of King Qin himself? For so many years, it was not that he did not understand this truth, but he just didn't want to think about it. At this time, Mao Qiu mentioned it, but his thoughts came flooding by himself.
Mao Qiu saw that Jing Tianming didn't speak for a long time, and said, "Brother Jing, why don't you speak? You don't know, and I won't blame you." That's right, you just asked me about the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital?" Jing Tianming hurriedly said, "I was going to ask if you ever knew the divine doctor Duanmu Rong?"
"Divine Doctor Duanmu Rong?" Mao Qiu shook his head, "I haven't heard of it. Since I joined Master at the age of thirteen, I have never heard this name in five years. Why? Who is she? Should I know?"
Jing Tianming was about to speak, but a cold voice came from behind him: "It's in vain that you claim to be a disciple of the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital, why don't you even know your own senior sister?"
Jing Tianming and Mao Qiu were stunned for a moment, turned their heads and looked back, a thin man about forty years old was riding on another donkey, wearing a crown scarf and a hand-cranked feather fan, with a narrow nose and thin lips, and blazing eyes, obviously heading towards Shendu Mountain.
"Senior sister, who is Senior Sister?" Mao Qiu asked in surprise, "Master is just one of my apprentices, where did I come from?"
"Senior Feng decided to retreat and practice ten years ago, and sent all the disciples ......away," the middle-aged man looked at Mao Qiu and said with a smile, "I didn't expect him to accept such a young apprentice at a high age, I think the little brother is quite popular with his old man, is the old man Feng Puzi good?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master, he is a very good old man. Mao Qiu asked again, "Your Excellency is Master's old acquaintance, I don't know the name of the honorable person, why did you come to the Shendu Mountain?"
The middle-aged man shook the feather fan in his hand in a pretentious manner, and said loudly, "I am the national teacher of the Qin State, and a real ram emperor. As for what I have to do, when I go up to the Goddess Peak to meet the Feng seniors, I will naturally say. 」
"Father...... King Qin didn't know when he invited a national teacher?" Jing Tianming's heart tightened, but seeing that the other party obviously didn't know him, he felt a little relieved, and secretly thought, "The dignified national teacher of the Qin State, how did you come to this Shendu Mountain? There must be something strange in this. At the moment, I was worried in my heart, and I vaguely felt that this ram was not good.
Mao Qiu was unguarded against people, he only felt that this person was quite familiar with his master, and felt a little strange, Jing Tianming saw that he had no idea, and said, "Brother Mao Qiu, why don't we hurry up the mountain and tell your master?"
Mao Qiu nodded, and then his mouth was soft. The two feet were clamped, urging Wang'er to speed up his pace. The mountain road was narrow, and the ram could not get ahead, so he had to ride a donkey and follow closely.
The two donkeys climbed up with broken steps one after the other, turned countless bends and finally came to the top of the goddess's peak, but saw the towering ancient trees towering and high, the mist was shrouded, and an inconspicuous small wooden house was located in it, and several vegetable fields in front of the house were planted with green vegetables and surrounded by low fences, and many chickens, ducks and geese were walking around in it, rummaging for earthworm insects.
A little old man with yellow hair hanging down to the ground was following these chickens, ducks and geese with a childlike face, waving the slender cane in his hand and whispering softly. Mao Qiu got off the donkey and ran towards the old man, shouting, "Master! 」
"It turns out that this inconspicuous old farmer is Feng Puzi," Jing Tianming's eyes widened and he thought, "This long-haired old man is Aunt Duanmu's master?" How could he not see the difference between this old man in front of him and the old farmer who asked for directions this morning?
Feng Puzi looked up and saw the Ram Yu, but just sighed at him. When Jing Tianming approached, he looked at him carefully and said, "Mao Qiu, the new friend is very good. Hey, kid, what are you doing here?" Jing Tianming said what he meant in the future, and Feng Puzi listened and said, "So you are here to find the cicada?"
"Missed cicada?" Jing Tianming asked, "Isn't it called the Red Ice Cicada?"
Feng Puzi replied: "That's right, this cicada is three times larger than ordinary cicadas, its color is like blood, although it is a thing in late summer and early autumn, it is as cold as ice, so it is called a red ice cicada. 」
Mao Qiu interjected, "How can that be called a broken cicada?"
"That's because ordinary cicadas only live underground for seven years, and then break out of the ground, looking for a partner to stay for a lifetime, but this red ice cicada has to live underground for 70 years before breaking the ground, thinking that in the past 70 years, how many can really fly up the branches and meet their mates? Feng Puzi replied, "Even if I have lived in this goddess peak for a long time, I have only seen it once. 」
"That's the one that Aunt Duanmu has to go!" Jing Tianming's heart was cold when he heard this, and he thought, "If that's the case, the chance of finding this red ice cicada is really slim. Just as he was about to ask again, Feng Puzi took the first step and asked Jing Tianming inexplicably, "Little friend, let me ask you, how to pick up the hot stones?"
The ram has been snubbed since he came up the mountain, but he didn't care at all, just shook it gently with a feather fan, and when he heard Feng Puzi's question, he cheered up and stood next to Mao Qiu to see how Jing Tianming answered.
Feng Puzi's sudden question, Jing Tianming was stunned for a moment, he looked at the stone on the ground, and then looked at Feng Puzi's vicissitudes of life, thinking of Mao Qiu's said spring, summer, autumn and winter, the fourth is orderly, how can manpower win the sky, although he does not understand the meaning of the five elements of prosperity and decline, but he feels that his heart is tepid, not dirty, not sick, Wen Ran replied: "This is not simple, don't pay attention to the hot stone, and wait for it to cool naturally, you can pick it up." 」
Feng Puzi was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again and said yes. The ram on the side was slightly stunned, it turned out that this was the profound Feng Puzi before accepting the apprentice, he must ask this question, so as to test the talent of the apprentice, this ram Yu also answered back then, but said: "Pour it with ice water, and you can pick it up." Feng Puzi thought he was violent by nature, so he only taught him the kung fu of the five elements, but he didn't say a word about the avenue of yin and yang.
Mao Qiu clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Jing, no wonder you and I hit it off at first sight, five years ago, I happened to meet Master while chopping wood in the mountains, and Master suddenly asked me, I have the same answer as you. As soon as Mao Qiu said this, the face of the ram changed greatly, thinking that this Mao Qiu was like a jade, and after Feng Puzi retreated, he made an exception to accept him as an apprentice, and he must have taught him all his mastery. Thinking of this section, the ram's royal killing machine rose sharply.
Mao Qiu didn't feel any change in the Ram Emperor at all, but said happily, "Master, why don't you also take Brother Jing as an apprentice? Feng Puzi nodded and said, "This is exactly what the teacher means. He took Jing Tianming's hand and said, "Little friend, do you want to worship Lao Yu as a teacher?"
The ram was willing to add another strong opponent, and at that moment, he put his hands together, bowed down and said to Feng Puzi, "The disciple meets the master, the master is more than a hundred years old, and he is still as healthy as ever, and the disciple is really happy for the master. 」
Jing Tianming and Mao Qiu glanced at each other, and Mao Qiu thought, "Master, this person calls me Master Master? So isn't he my senior brother? Why don't I know anything?" Jing Tianming thought, "It turns out that he is Mao Qiu's senior brother, no wonder he knows everything. 」
Feng Puzi nodded with a hmm, suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his forehead and suddenly realized, turned his head to Mao Qiu and said, "Alas, I forgot to tell you, in fact, you have a senior brother called Ram Yu, yes, yes, he is Ram Yu. 」
Then he giggled a few times and said, "Alas, Mao Qiu, in fact, there are quite a few things I forgot to tell you, but now I suddenly remember them all, you have two other senior sisters, the senior sister is called Wu Duan, and the second senior sister is called Duanmu Rong. Ram Yu, Wu Duan, Duanmu Rong, and then you, haha, how about it?
Mao Qiu really looked frightened, in a short period of time, there were more and more senior brothers and sisters. He said in admiration: "I didn't expect that not only do I have a senior sister who is a divine doctor, but also a senior brother who is a national teacher of the Qin State, which is really amazing. 」
Feng Puzi shook his head and looked at Ram Yu, and said with pretended admiration: "Mao Qiu, don't say you didn't expect it, I don't know anything. Hahaha. It turns out that you became the national teacher of the Qin State, which is really amazing. 」
Listening to the wind Puzi's words, the ram royal said with a sneer, the feather fan shook lightly, and said with a smile: "Master, in order to help Xianjun dominate the world, the disciple has come to ask for the Book of Luo. It's okay that he didn't mention this, but when he mentioned Feng Puzi and remembered it again, Feng Puzi hurriedly said to Mao Qiu, "That's right, Mao Qiu, there is another thing that Master forgot to say. Ten years ago, your senior brother went down the mountain and took away a copy of "River Map", and he has not returned it yet, but it is not that my old man has a bad memory and forgetfulness, but when your senior brother borrowed it, he didn't tell the master and me, and I naturally can't remember it as a teacher. 」
Mao Qiu said to the Ram Yu, "Is it? Senior brother, the so-called borrowing and repayment, it is not difficult to borrow again, you should also return the "Hetu" to the master first, and then borrow the "Luoshu". 」
Jing Tianming saw this old man and a young man, a teacher and an apprentice, the two of them spoke innocently and naturally, not fake at all, but it sounded like a play on the stage, singing together, secretly feeling funny in his heart, but he also admired these two people for being as simple as jade, and they seemed to be fake and true.
Seeing that Feng Puzi mentioned that he had seized the treasures of the master back then, he knew that he could only take it by force today, his face gradually became murderous, and he sneered and said: "This "Hetu" and "Luoshu" Master has been reading it for decades, and he has already seen it badly, why don't you lend it to the apprentice to take a look?" The ram Yu closed the feather fan in his hand, pressed the mechanism, and the fan bone turned into a dagger, and the ram Yu reversed the feather fan, and stabbed it into Feng Puzi's lower abdomen.
Although the ram royal attack was sudden, how could he escape Jing Tianming's eyes? It's just that he saw that the ram royal shot was clumsy, and he expected that the advanced old man in front of him would be able to resist it, so he didn't make a move to stop it, but he didn't expect to get Mao Qiu to exclaim, and the dagger in the ram royal hand had already pierced into Feng Puzi's lower abdomen.
"What are you doing?" Jing Tianming scolded angrily, and the Qingshuang Sword stabbed the heart of the Ram Queen in his hand. The ram Yu stabbed Feng Puzi to death, but the knife entered the lower abdomen, Feng Puzi could no longer live, and saw that Jing Tianming's swordsmanship was powerful, so he immediately pulled out the dagger, turned around and fled, but he failed to seize the "Luo Shu" and kill Mao Qiu, and felt regretful in his heart. However, these things can be done again in the future, at this time, his life is at stake, and he thought that Jing Tianming might not chase after him, so he hurriedly jumped on the donkey and went down the mountain in a panic.
Feng Puzi couldn't even resist a move, out of Jing Tianming's surprise, it turned out that the Nine Palaces of Shendu was a heavy Yin and Yang Five Elements of the Way, and had always regarded martial arts as a trivial matter, life was short, where was Feng Puzi willing to learn?
Seeing that Feng Puzi was covered in blood, Jing Tianming hurriedly helped Feng Puzi sit up with Mao Qiu, who was crying loudly. Feng Puzi was stabbed in the lower abdomen, and he wouldn't die for a while, but he lost too much blood, and he was weak when he spoke: "Mao...... Mao Qiu, what are you crying about?"
"Master, Master, are you going to die?" Mao Qiu was asked by Master, but he cried even harder.
"Silly ...... Silly boy, have you forgotten what Master taught you?" Feng Puzi said, "People are born with death, just like yin flourishes and yang declines, and cannot be wasted. If you feel sorry for someone who has died, and everyone dies unconscious, then you, the living person, are just asking for sorrow for yourself. 」
When Mao Qiu heard this, he immediately regained his consciousness, wiped his tears and stopped crying, but Jing Tianming was stunned by the side, thinking, "Over the past few years, I have thought about my mother and me...... Father, are you really just asking for sin?"
Mao Qiu asked, "Master, is there anything else you forgot to tell your disciple?"
"Yes, yes," Feng Puzi said, "Master remembered again, and while Master was not dead, I had to talk about it quickly. The Nine Palaces of my Shendu were originally divided into two gates of yin and yang, five elements and five altars, the yin gate is your senior sister Wu Xuan, who learns the art of a hundred poisons; the yang gate is your second senior sister Duanmu Rong, who practices the way of medicine; there are five people in the five elements and five altars, but unfortunately the other four people were killed by the ram royal, and now he is the only one left. 」
"That...... Master, which one did I learn?" Mao Qiu asked stupidly.
Feng Puzi also replied inexplicably: "You are a disciple who received exceptions after the retreat for the teacher, and I will teach you whatever I think of for the teacher, and I don't know which one you are or which altar you are, I think it will be counted!" Feng Puzi looked at Jing Tianming and said, "It's a pity that you have this good material. After a while, he turned his head and explained to Mao Qiu, "I remembered that there are tokens of the head of the Nine Palaces of my Shendu in the wooden house, as well as the volume of "Luo Shu" that your senior brother wants, you should keep it well. 」
"That's right, yes, if you have the opportunity to get "Hetu" back, you have to participate in the research well, for the teacher can teach you, "Hetu" and "Luoshu" can teach you...... The river is out of the map, and the Luo is out of the book...... 16 in the north, 27 in the south, and 38 in the east...... Fifty in the middle, Fu Xiyi's life gossip ......" between the words, it is already incoherent.
Mao Qiu nodded, indicating that he would definitely obey his master's explanation. At this time, Feng Puzi was already out of breath and inlet in too much, he slowly closed his eyes, and was silent for a while, Mao Qiu and Jing Tianming saw that he didn't speak, and sat beside Feng Puzi respectively, and no one could bear to leave for a moment.
As the sun was setting, Feng Puzi suddenly opened his eyes and said flatly: "One yin and one yang is the Tao, and the yin and yang, or the yin, or the yang, cannot be named. After saying that, his eyes were closed, and he passed away suddenly.
The evening glow, the twelve peaks of Wushan are all shrouded in golden light, Jing Tianming saw a five-colored bird, since the flying phoenix peak rose, the wings spread, and instantly came to the goddess peak to fly around, Jing Tianming only then saw that this is actually a big bird about six feet long, this bird has a chicken head and a snake neck, swallow jaw and turtle back, and the big fish tail drags the green, yellow, red, white and black five-colored long feathers fluttering with the wind.
"Phoenix, Master, you see that there really is a Phoenix!" Mao Qiu pointed and shouted, as if Master was not dead, and he was talking to him, but at a glance, he saw Feng Puzi's mouth closed, and then he truly realized that from now on, Master would never talk to him again.
Jing Tianming on the side also looked stupid, only to see the phoenix stop on the plane tree behind the cabin, at the body of Feng Puzi, wailing three times, the sound was like broken jade, and a few pearl-like tears dropped, and then spread its wings and flew away.
Mao Qiu wiped her tears and muttered, "I don't cry, I listen to Master's words, don't cry. On the side, Jing Tianming also shed tears. The two cried for a while, and then they regained their strength and buried Feng Puzi under the plane tree.
Mao Qiu walked into the house and opened a small wooden box at the head of the master's bed, and it turned out that the token of the head of the house was a pair of earrings, with round beads in the left ear, square beads in the right ear, and a small roll of rags, which I thought was "Luo Shu". Mao Qiu put them in a small cloth bag, carried them on his back, and walked out and said to Jing Tianming: "Little brother, you and I hit it off at first sight, why don't you just become righteous brothers? From now on, you will be my only relative." 」
Jing Tianming had this intention, and the two of them rubbed the soil into incense in front of Feng Puzi's grave, and became friends with Jinlan. Mao Qiu bowed three more times in front of the grave and said, "Master, disciple will go down the mountain to look for the "River Map", and hope that the master will bless him. Then he reluctantly went down the mountain with Jing Tianming.
Mao Qiu Tui said that he was used to riding Wang'er, and he didn't forget to give Feng Puzi's horse to Jing Tianming to ride, this didn't forget that he was old, and he was happy to walk, and he didn't show off his foot strength, and politely followed behind, and the two of them walked slowly down the mountain.
Jing Tianming saw Mao Qiu's face full of sorrow, and said angrily: "Don't worry, big brother, if you have the opportunity in the future, the younger brother will definitely help you kill the ram royal and avenge the old man of Feng Puzi." Unexpectedly, Mao Qiu waved his hand and said, "No, there is no need to take revenge, you must know that there is no hatred between the Ram Yu and me, just help me find the "River Map". 」
"How can there be no hatred?" Jing Tianming was surprised and said, "We witnessed him kill the Wind Senior. 」
Mao Qiu seemed to be normal and said easily, "Yes, if he kills Master, we will seek revenge on him?"
"This ...... I don't know. Jing Tianming thought silently in his heart, if everyone in the world really does what Mao Qiu said, why worry about not closing the door at night and the world being the same? It seems that the way of the Yin and Yang family is similar to that of Confucianism when pushed to the extreme.
The two walked halfway up the mountain, then let the two donkeys go to eat grass, Mao Qiu took out the dry food from the bag and ate with Jing Tianming, the two chatted while eating, and unconsciously understood each other more, the two donkeys were chewing grass not far away, at this time they stopped moving, just shivering, and Wang'er was so frightened that he peed.
Jing Tianming felt weird, hinting that Mao Qiu should not move, and quietly approached the second donkey to look, a colorful tiger in the grass was sleeping soundly, thinking that the second donkey smelled the smell of the tiger and was frightened, Jing Tianming took the reins on the second donkey and planned to leave, but when he turned around, he saw Mao Qiu biting his lips and gesturing to himself.
Mao Qiu's hands made a gesture of flapping his wings for a while, and then pointed at the tiger, which made Jing Tianming inexplicable, Jing Tianming turned around and looked at the tiger again, a cicada was as colored as blood, about the size of a palm, and was stopping on the back of the colorful tiger, not the red ice cicada that he was looking for for more than a month, but what was it? It was early autumn, the scorching sun was scorching, the tiger was two feet long, and he was most afraid of the heat, the red ice cicada was as red as vermilion, but it was a cold thing, and the tiger on his body was quite useful, and he slept soundly, but he didn't find that Jing Tianming approached with a sword.
"As long as you can save Ah Yue, even if you lose your life, it's nothing. Jing Tianming was determined but not afraid, holding the sword in both hands and stabbing at the tiger, the tiger heard the sound of strong wind in his sleep, and jumped up violently, the sword did not pierce the tiger's vital point, but inserted into its right leg.
The tiger is the most vicious thing, although it was injured, it still opened its bloody mouth and bit Jing Tianming, but although the tiger is evil, how can it compare to the three brothers and sisters of black and white flowers and six axes? Jing Tianming took out several swords in a row, and the tiger roared again and again when it was in pain, only to shake the mountains and valleys with the sound of tiger roaring.
Although Jing Tianming is not afraid of the tiger, but he is suffering from the tiger jumping, the red ice cicada is frightened and spreads its wings and flies away, although its momentum is slow, it also flies higher and higher, and will soon be lost, but the yellow-skinned tiger attacked him again and again with sharp teeth and claws, Jing Tianming was distracted, and his left arm was caught by the tiger's claws, and the blood flowed.
"Brother, you deal with that tiger, and the red ice cicada will be handed over to me. Mao Qiu was in a hurry, and the fingers of his hands were like hooks knotting each other, and he shouted in his mouth, "People have no heart!
The red ice cicada flew into the air, was blocked by Mao Qiu's immobilization spell, and immediately stood still. Jing Tianming was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was relieved to fight with the tiger, and while Jing Tianming was fighting, he heard Mao Qiu keep shouting: "Go!! You give it to me!!Don't run, go!"
Jing Tianming finally killed the tiger, and when he ran to Mao Qiu's side, he was already sweating profusely, and when he saw the red ice cicada stopped in the air without moving, he gave a thumbs up and praised, "Big brother, you really have you." 」
"Hee-hee-hee, it's nothing. Mao Qiu said modestly. Jing Tianming asked again, "Since the spell is useful, why does the eldest brother keep shouting on the ground?" Mao Qiu was about to explain, but the red ice cicada fluttered its wings and flew up, Jing Tianming thought badly, and jumped upwards with light skills, and gently and skillfully trapped the red ice cicada in the palms of both hands.
"Aha!" Mao Qiu said with a smile, "You know why now, right? Because your eldest brother's immobilization spell can only support a few breaths at a time, wahahaha!"
Jing Tianming held the red ice cicada in his hand, Ah Yue was saved, and the burden in his heart was lifted, and he also laughed heartily. When I want to find something to put the red ice cicada, but there is no utensils at hand, according to Mao Qiu, I will be able to go down the mountain soon, and then I can buy a utensil at will in the small village, Jing Tianming nodded yes.
The two men mounted their donkeys again, and set off on their backs, hurrying straight in the direction of the town. Jing Tianming didn't dare to let go of his hands, straddled the donkey, the two chatted happily and casually, and in the blink of an eye, they had already gone down the mountain, Jing Tianming asked: "Big brother, this immobilization spell is really powerful, if you learn this spell, and don't all the martial arts in the world become waste?
"Brother's words are wrong, there are very few people who know this fixation spell, and it is very difficult to learn, I am afraid it will be difficult to use every twenty years, big brother, I have studied it for five years, and this little cicada, and it can return to normal in just a few breaths," Mao Qiu explained, "Make this fixation spell, the bigger the other party, the stronger the heart that wants to move, and the strong heart is difficult to determine, if you meet a strong-willed person, it is like only a small straw rope in your hand, but you want to tie the four-armed King Kong, where can he be determined?"
"I see, in this way, learning this spell is no different from learning martial arts, it's my brother who thinks too much. Jing Tianming laughed dumbly, and suddenly shouted as he spoke, "Oh! 」
"What's wrong?" Mao Qiu joked, "Oh, don't you think I'm not good at spells and don't want to bow to me? 」
"No, it's not ......" Jing Tianming looked nervous, raised his hands holding the red ice cicada, and said, "I feel that the cicada in my hand doesn't seem to move. 」
"That's really bad!" Mao Qiu also became nervous, "I shouldn't pinch you to death, right?"
Jing Tianming hurriedly replied, "Big brother, do you know how to use this red ice cicada to cure all kinds of poisons?" Mao Qiu scratched his head and said, "Master didn't talk about it just now, how do I know?"
Jing Tianming said again, "Then what should I do?" Mao Qiu came up with an idea, "I think it would be better for you to loosen a slit in your palm a little and look inside?"
Jing Tianming was afraid that the red ice cicada would escape, so he just let go of a thin slit as he said, and the two of them looked together at the crack, but there was no shadow of the red ice cicada in the palm of his hand?
"It's over!" Mao Qiu wailed and said, "The Red Ice Cicada has escaped!" Jing Tianming spread out his hands and looked, there was a small pool of rouge-colored liquid between the left and right palms, which shrank smaller and smaller in his own hands until he was gone, Jing Tianming said with a dead face, "It's not that I escaped, but I killed it." 」
"Dead, dead and dead, there are corpses? Look, isn't there a corpse when Master is dead?" Mao Qiu exclaimed. Jing Tianming thought that Mao Qiu said this strangely, and seemed to be a little disrespectful to Feng Puzi, but he knew that Mao Qiu just didn't know the world, and he just said whatever he thought, and immediately replied: "The red ice cicada turned into blood and seeped into my palm, you see!" said and spread his hands and let Mao Qiu check it.
This red ice cicada is an extremely cold thing, think that the tiger's body is two feet long, the red ice cicada stops on it, Fang Jue is cool, but Jing Tianming is a fifteen-year-old boy, how can the size be compared with the tiger? At that time, Duanmu Rong skillfully got the red ice cicada, which was held in the palm of her hand and tried to melt away, she did not learn internal skills at that time, but burned a fire to warm the cicada with body temperature, and it took seven days and seven nights to achieve success, and since then all poisons have not invaded. Feng Puzi didn't mention the usage, how could Jing Tianming know the reason, his internal force was naturally reflected, and it only took two hours of effort to melt away the red ice cicada, and he accidentally became a poisonous body, but he didn't know it.
"It's over, it's over...... it's over," Mao Qiu subconsciously muttered, "It's over, it's over, it's over." Jing Tianming only thought in his mind: "I hurt Ah Yue, I killed Ah Yue!" He couldn't say a word anymore, just let the donkey shake around, carrying himself towards Huaiyin.
