"Checks and balances?" asked Shen Shuiji puzzled.

"Yes. ”

"What is this?"

"This is a book by the Zhong family, it is about martial arts, I have long wanted to learn this martial arts, but I don't have a book, so I haven't practiced it so far. Murong Yingxue told frankly.

"Okay, I'll bring it up to that Zhong Dushan when the time comes, and he will definitely not disagree. Zhong Jing loves Wan'er until she dies and comes back to life. Shen Shuiji said with a smile.

"Well, that's the antidote. After speaking, Murong Yingxue took out a small bottle from her pocket.

"What's in there?" Looking at the black thing, Shen Shuiji couldn't help but ask.

"You don't have to worry about this, and then you can give this bottle to her and save it. ”

"But," Shen Shuiji stopped talking.

"But what?" Regarding Shen Shuiji's sudden change of hexagram, Murong Yingxue looked very angry.

"I'm worried, I went so rashly, why should the Zhong family believe me, besides, the pigeon incident last time has made the Zhong family very wary of me, I send medicine, will they believe me?"

"I've thought of that. Murong Yingxue said confidently.

"When the time comes, you will say that this will be given to you by Yu Chi Biangu. ”

"Wei Chi Biangu?" Shen Shuiji asked, "Who is this person?"

"You don't need to know this, you just need to do what I say, and the people of the Zhong family will definitely believe you when the time comes. ”

Shen Shuiji took the medicine bottle in disbelief.

Early the next morning, Shen Shuiji came to Zhong's house.

In the lobby, the Zhong family was eating breakfast.

Seeing such an uninvited guest, everyone put down their chopsticks angrily.

"Mrs. Chu, what are you doing?" After all, a guest came to the door, so Zhong Dushan still said very politely.

Seeing that the people around him looked at him coldly, Shen Shuiji was not angry, but said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that I have come to a bad time, I know that everyone has an opinion on me about the pigeon last time, but I am also just for us ordinary people, there is no malice." ”

Then, Shen Shuiji walked to Zhong Jin's side and said, "Besides, I heard that Miss Wan'er was injured, so I'm going to take a look." ”

"Wan'er is very good. Zhong Jin said angrily.

"Yes, but how did I hear that Miss Wan'er still hasn't woken up? Shen Shuiji said.

"What does this have to do with you?" Zhong Jin was very angry, and then said, "Also, if there is nothing to do, please leave." ”

"Oh, Young Master Zhong Jin, don't say it so quickly. Shen Shuiji saw that Zhong Jin was anxious, so he hurriedly said.

"What the hell is the matter with you," Mrs. Zhong said impatiently.

"That's right, a few days ago, I got some medicinal herbs from a master, saying that it can bring the heartless people back to life, so, I,"

Before Shen Shuiji could finish speaking, Zhong Jin stood up, and then said, "What? What did you say?"

"Young Master Zhong Jin, don't worry, I know, you don't want others to know that Miss Wan'er has no heart, but this is already known to everyone, besides, my medicinal herb is really effective. ”

"Why should we believe you? Shui Er said suddenly at this time.

"Yes," Madame Chung chimed in.

"I know that the people of the Zhong family have always been suspicious. Shen Shuiji took out the bottle in his pocket, and then said: "I'm really kind, it seems that people still don't appreciate it." ”

Everyone looked at the bottle, and it was black and I don't know what it was, so everyone's suspicions became even heavier.

"Mrs. Chu, dare to ask where this medicinal herb came from. Zhong Dushan still asked politely, although he didn't believe in this Shen Shuiji either, but when he thought that if he could really save Wan'er, he might as well give it a try.

Shen Shuiji smiled, and then said, "This medicinal herb was obtained by me from a master. ”

"Who is it?"

"The descendants of the valley of Yuchibian. Shen Shuiji said confidently, she also wanted to see what kind of sacredness this Yuchi Bian Gu in Murong Yingxue's mouth was, and it could have such great power.

"What kind of nobody is this?" After Zhong Jin heard this, he was very unhappy, feeling that this Shen Shuiji was here to tease them.

"Be cautious, don't be rude. Unexpectedly, at this time, Mrs. Zhong suddenly said this.

The air suddenly seemed to freeze, and then Zhong Dushan then asked, "Mrs. Chu, you really got this medicinal herb from the descendants of Yuchi Bian Valley?"

"yes. Shen Shuiji said, although she herself didn't know who this Yuchi Biangu was, but judging from the reactions of the two old men of the Zhong family, it seemed that this Yuchi Biangu was not an idle person, and it seemed that this Murong Yingxue really had two brushes.

"Then how did you meet them?" Zhong Dushan asked, as if this Wei Chi Biangu was a very important person to him.

Zhong Jin stood aside, not daring to interject.

"Well, I don't have anything to say. Shen Shuiji said.

"It's okay, Mr. Wei Chi has always lived in a simple house, and he doesn't want others to know where they are, so I won't ask. Then, Zhong Dushan looked at Shen Shuiji and said, "Mrs. Chu, in this way, we don't have any doubts, thank you very much." ”

However, Shen Shuiji suddenly changed his words, and then said: "Master Zhong, you also know that there is no free lunch in this world, so why can't I give this medicinal herb to you for nothing." ”

"Say, what do you want?" Zhong Jin had already guessed that this Shen Shuiji was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he was not the slightest surprised when he heard Shen Shuiji's words.

"Hahaha, it's still Young Master Zhong's pleasure, I have long heard that Young Master Zhong loves Miss Wan'er, so it must be for Miss Wan'er to do a lot of things. ”

"What do you want?" Zhong Jin didn't want to talk nonsense with this Shen Shuiji, so he said.

"Well, in that case, I'll get straight to the point. You also know that the lord of my family is a mortal, the so-called mortal, nothing more than to live longer, to put it bluntly, just want to live a long life, and now my lord is over sixty years old, so, I heard that the lotus of the Zhong family can prolong life, so I have always wanted a little. ”

After a pause, Shen Shuiji continued: "Of course, don't worry, I'm not a lion with a big mouth. And this lotus, it's just that my lord wants it, and I've never been interested in these things, so I won't ask for a lot, as long as it's enough for my lord's share of longevity. ”

"There's no problem with that. Zhong Dushan didn't even think about it, so he agreed.

I didn't expect Zhong Dushan to be so painful, and Shen Shuiji was a little overwhelmed.

"In that case, can you give me the herbs?"

Shen Shuiji, who came to his senses, hurriedly said: "Wait, I still have something to ask for." ”

"I warn you, don't get an inch. Zhong Jin was very angry when he saw the insatiable Shen Shuiji, and couldn't help but scold loudly.

"Be cautious, don't be rude. Zhong Dushan said, then looked at Shen Shuiji and asked, "I don't know what else Mrs. Chu wants?"

"I heard that the Zhong family has a book of martial arts secrets, called Checks and Balances. Shen Shuiji asked tentatively.

Zhong Dushan did not speak immediately, because this book is very precious.

Seeing Zhong Dushan's embarrassed face, Shen Shuiji hurriedly said: "Actually, my master is old and confused, and he always wants to practice martial arts, no, I don't know where he heard such a book, so he has been clamoring me to find it, no, I just want to borrow it from the Zhong family." ”

"Okay, no problem. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhong Dushan had no choice but to agree.

"Master Zhong is refreshing, so that we all have what we need. After speaking, Shen Shuiji laughed.

Zhong Jin saw his father's embarrassment, so he whispered to his father: "Father, should we think of another way?"

Zhong Dushan shook his head and didn't speak, and then asked his subordinates to go to the treasury and take out the lotus flower, and then took out the book of checks and balances from the study, and gave it all to Shen Shuiji.

Shen Shuiji took the things and walked away with a smile.

Seeing Shen Shuiji away, Zhong Dushan sat down in despair.

"Father, who is this Wei Chi Biangu?" Zhong Shen couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, father, why did you believe Shen Shuiji when he mentioned him?" Zhong Jin was also puzzled.

Zhong Dushan sighed and said, "Zhong Jin, Zhong Shen, do you remember, I once told you the story of the three families dividing the lotus. ”

"Of course I do. Zhong Shen said: "Back then, the lotus flower on Lingyun became the object of contention for loyalty, because of this, the killing continued, and the people were struggling to make a living. Later, an old man let everyone compete and win the lotus, and then later, the Jiang family, the Zhuang family, and our Zhong family won the game, because the three families are good brothers, so there was no competition again, so it was decided that the three families divided the lotus. ”

"Yes," Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but recall.

"But, what does this have to do with that Wei Chi Bian Valley?" Zhong Jin still didn't understand.

"That old man is Wei Chi Biangu. Zhong Dushan said.

"What?"

"Yes, but this old man has always been incognito, and there are very few people who know him, so when Shen Shuiji said this person's name, I knew that this medicinal herb would definitely work. ”

"But, how does this Shen Shuiji know about this old man?" Zhong Shen asked in confusion.

"I really don't know about this. Mrs. Zhong was very puzzled.

"That's not all," Zhong said suddenly.

"Father, what else do you have any doubts?" Seeing Zhong Dushan's confused face, Zhong Jin hurriedly asked.

"It's the counterbalance over there. ”

"What's wrong?"

Shen Shuiji said, this book is what her family's master Chu Ziliu wants, but you and I both know that this Chu Ziliu is just an ordinary man, and with his skills, it is impossible to practice checks and balances. Zhong Dushan said.

In this way, it is that Shen Shuiji wants to practice by himself, but he is just using Chu Ziliu's mouth. Zhong Shen asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Dushan shook his head and said, "It's not either." ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"Based on my observation of Shen Shuiji, although this woman also has some skills, they are all small skills of carving insects, and with her skills, it is impossible to practice checks and balances. If you want to practice checks and balances, you must have a sufficient foundation. Zhong Dushan said worriedly.

"Could it be that behind Shen Shuiji, there is a person with stronger skills who is instructing her? In other words, it is this person behind the scenes who wants to practice checks and balances?" Zhong Jin thought about it and felt that it was also terrifying.

"If that's the case, wouldn't we be embattled?" Madame Zhong felt an inexplicable panic in her heart when she heard everyone's words.

"Yes, what is seen and what is not seen are our enemies. Zhong Dushan also said helplessly.

So, for a while, everyone fell into silence.

At this time, Zhong Dushan seemed to suddenly remember something, and then said to Zhong Jin: "Okay, the most important thing at the moment, we just want to save Wan'er." Since it is the medicine of the descendants of Yuchi Biangu, Wan'er will definitely get better. ”

So, Zhong Jin took the medicine bottle and hurried to Wan'er's room.
