laughing soul

Qiu Sheng has quite a bit of experience with pretending, and is good at integrating book theories into practice.In the early morning, it should be a mural, it should be a mural, it should be arguing, it should be arguing, it should be summarized, and it should be summarized. For more than an hour, the civil and military officials of the court stared at him eagerly, but Qiu Sheng didn't reveal the slightest "Shut up, I'm going to The impatience of "running away" came, but "the more respectful the color, the more courteous", and no one noticed that something was wrong.

Qiu Sheng was not polite, he didn't show any compassion because of the stupidity of this group of people, he threw away the trifles and official duties, put the edict to the civil and military officials on the table, and ordered Li Ci to enter the room accurately at dusk. The bamboo house noticed something unusual, for the past few hours, he used the excuse of the emperor's poor health to avoid seeing people, so he swaggered away along the side door.

He put on the official hat and half covered his face, and took the token of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to leave the palace unimpeded all the way. After bumping for half a day, he quickly arrived at the southern border. With a Muggle face, he came with a bunch of younger brothers, which was barely a welcome.

Qiu Sheng followed this group of people around and gradually approached the main hall where the village master lived. These people not only walked like flying, but what's more strange is that more than a dozen adult men didn't make a sound at all, forcing Qiu Sheng to also close. Using internal force to suppress the sound of footsteps and breathing, and at the same time stepping up so as not to lag behind, the whole team is like a gangster team heading for the palace of the king of hell, without the vitality of a living person at all.

The person in front of him stopped suddenly, he didn't pay attention, and almost slammed into it, the leading man floated away, and then held Qiu Sheng's hand through a thick cloth, and said hoarsely: "The village owner is already here. In the hall, please do as you please. Let me remind you that you must not enter the hall rashly without the permission of the village master."

Qiu Sheng backhanded with strength, raised his eyes and happened to see the man's gloomy face, he was startled, and was about to thank him out of etiquette, but saw a large piece of skin on his face slightly raised, a long The strip-shaped thing fought and snaked in it, almost squeezing his originally cold and unintentional expression into a hideous embarrassment.

This was the first time he had dealt with people from southern Xinjiang. He had never seen such a formation before. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately took a big step back: "Your Excellency, this is it?"

The man smiled at him as gently as possible. With such a movement, the muscles on his face squeezed the worm to his jaw, and then slowly crawled along his collar to his chest. His smile froze slightly, as if he was enduring Suffering great pain, after a long time, the evil beast whose outline could still be seen through the clothes finally gradually calmed down.Only then did the man breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Sorry, the newly raised blood gu has not had time to tame, and is not very obedient. Sir Shaoqing, I have resigned from my humble position."

He turned over the cuff, revealing an extremely deep wound about two fingers wide, the scab had healed, and a layer of pink and tender new flesh had grown.

Qiu Sheng understood that the reason for the brief touch just now was to cover it with a thick cloth, because she was afraid that if this ghost thing got out of control and took the opportunity to change its host, it would be difficult to handle it.

The image of this short, rather vicious-looking man suddenly grew taller in his mind.

He bowed to the group of people who were drifting away, and looked up at the Zhaizhu Hall in front of him.

Probably it can be seen that the owner of the village is not an extravagant and wasteful owner. The dignified main hall of the village is not much different from the small halls next to it. It is evenly made into a wall, and the totems with the same pattern as the man's clothes just now are carved on the facade one by one, with carved beams and painted buildings, flying pavilions and flowing alchemy, which is different from the bright style of the imperial palace, but instead gives birth to some cold and chilling feelings out of thin air.

Quite a few of the Imperial Forest Army who had been ordered by him to set off from the capital to this place were all stopped outside the gate of the stockade. Now that he had an accident here, the fastest and most fearless one must be at least It takes half a stick of incense to arrive.This meeting between him and the head of the Wugu village can be said to be a one-on-one fight.

There was no guard in front of the gate of the village, presumably the man was too confident and didn't pay attention to any trespassers.

Qiu Sheng touched his side face for no reason, thinking that he really didn't want to feel the pleasure of moths living in his body to help dredge the subcutaneous tissue, so he decided to say hello respectfully: "Qiu Sheng, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Qiu Zizhan , Greetings to the village master of the Wugu Village."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and suddenly there was a loud noise, as if a large vase lost its balance and fell to the ground.

He suppressed the disordered heartbeat, calmed down the doubts and fears that were gradually rising, and said in a steady voice: "This trip is to discuss important matters with the village owner. The conditions proposed by the village owner are easy to negotiate. Please open the skylight." To be honest, let's meet Shangqiu first."

The door opened suddenly, Qiu Sheng looked up subconsciously, and saw a young woman with a gloomy complexion standing at the door.It was a good spring time, unlike the man leading the way who wrapped herself tightly in a long robe, the woman only wore a light smoke-colored gauze dress, and the black tube top lined with it was clearly visible.She nodded slightly to Qiu Sheng expressionlessly, raised her hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, please don't mind if you are not far away when you come here."

She flicked her sleeves, revealing a forearm full of wounds, almost identical to the wounds on the man just now, but there was no sign that the poisonous insect was out of control.

Qiu Sheng frowned, not knowing where he missed the trick, and his identity was discovered.He lowered his eyebrows and followed, walked up to the woman and bowed, "The village master is very polite."

The woman nodded lightly, no emotion could be seen on her face without sadness or joy, she walked into the room stiffly as if it was just a routine business, removed a small porcelain bottle from the table, and asked Qiu Sheng to sit in the upper seat: " I heard that there will be more wars in the Northwest, so His Majesty must be too busy with official duties at this time. It is the end of spring, and it is a good time to raise golden silkworm Gu. The words in the humble letter are not evasive words. "

This journey can be regarded as seeing a lot, and Qiu Sheng did not doubt the authenticity of her words: "The village owner has considered everything carefully, but he is being reckless."

"Since you came here in a hurry, there must be some changes in Wujin Gu." Her speech style was the same as when she wrote the letter, and she went straight to the topic after a little politeness. ?”

Qiu Sheng: "There is nothing wrong with the prescription. This trip is just a bold move. I ask the village master for the technique of dispelling Gu. I hope the village master will not hesitate to give me advice."

The woman who kept her head down slightly sat up straight when she heard the words, her cold eyes were almost blue-gray, she stared at the person in front of her for a while, and suddenly there was some murderous intent Come.She gritted her teeth, her face gradually distorted, and even her voice changed uncontrollably: "Your Majesty really doesn't want to... use this to cultivate a group of vicious dogs who are only loyal to you and can die or live for you anytime, anywhere... Vicious dogs ?”

Looking at her ferocious face, Qiu Sheng suddenly sighed slightly.

It's no wonder that this thing has been in the hands of the emperors of all dynasties, and they have never been willing to give it up.The winner in the world is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now he worships the princes and generals under his knees, and he can be loyal to others in the next day. What emperor who desires dictatorship does not want to have full power to control a group of dead soldiers all his own?

Since ancient times, emperors have no long-term possessions, prosperity, success or failure, defection and betrayal can only happen in a blink of an eye, and no one can predict whether hundreds of years later, when the history books comment on the last Qi Liao king, they will bring themselves along.

From this point of view, the concerns of several generations of emperors of Dai Viet are not unreasonable. It seems that these old people are quite self-aware.

Between life and righteousness, you may be able to control the life and death of others for a while, but the so-called morality, as long as there is still a breath, there will be a prairie fire. Is everyone willing to give up righteousness to live?

Qiu Sheng squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and began to become quite impatient with the person in front of him, and whispered in a bad tone: "Will you stick to your one-acre three-point land when foreign enemies invade? The world? The village lord is thinking too much... Your Excellency, please make a price."

Since he could betray his promise for gold and silver treasures back then, it is not a bad idea to trade wealth for his life today.What's more, this person has already expressed his attitude in several letters to and from, and this person is quite bad at words, it is almost blatantly shouting "My mother wants money" in the letter.

The woman's facial muscles twitched violently.

This is the first time I have encountered such a stubborn donkey.

The two sat facing each other, thanking the guests behind closed doors, and talked all night long under a flickering light. For some reason, the woman seemed to dare not let go of her voice to speak loudly, which made Qiu Sheng feel quite embarrassed to ask loudly. Aggressive, it was obviously a tit-for-tat conversation, but it became quite harmonious because of the extra soft and low tone.

People in southern Xinjiang seem to look like ghosts and ghosts, but in fact they are just suffering from the shortage of various materials here, and the available land can be seen at a glance, and they are just helping poor people who are poor and frightened.If you lose the witchcraft skills handed down from your ancestors, you are just local civilians who are used to being tossed by evil mountains and rivers in the backcountry. In fact, you don’t have many bad intentions in your heart, although you don’t think about doing your best for governing the country. , but even less vicious scheming to destroy the world.

The country's sharp weapon, which was supposed to fight against powerful enemies with a blade facing the outer space, was used by the foolish emperors of the past to plot against their own people. If it can be properly arranged in the future, it can be regarded as a strong support.

Qiu Sheng calculated the current situation of the treasury, the materials needed for the Weizhou battlefield, and the current reserves, and then thought about the emerging navy in Fang Jiu's hands and the range of exchange paper notes that gradually spread to the periphery, thinking that he could not afford it. The village owner had no choice but to verbally agree to the ideal price in his heart: "The village owner also knows that the current situation in the court is not optimistic. The foreign enemy is present, and all places need to be fully equipped with armaments immediately. The treasury is really overwhelmed. Pay half, and make up for the other half when the treasury can turn around?"

After a long chat all night, the woman was generally relieved of the character of the current Holy Master, but this person was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, so she was still skeptical and asked: "You Central Plains people are the most contradictory. To be honest, if Your Majesty follows the example of the late emperor and uses a little trick to turn the lowly job around, then what should we do if all the money used in exchange for medicine is fake and shoddy?"

Qiu Sheng smiled wryly, feeling that his father would actually be bluffing and deceiving, and he knew how to save money.

"What the late emperor did is despised by others. I can save my life. This kind of thing will never happen again. If the village master is worried, he can swear by blood."

Seeing that the woman was still hesitant and refused to agree, Qiu Sheng had no choice but to spit out lotus flowers with her three-inch tongue, and finally won the other party's trust at noon when the sun was rising.The woman promised that within three months, she would go to the capital to detoxify Jin Yiwei, and then take half of the silver first.

Seeing that he was done, Qiu Sheng was about to pack up his things and leave here, but when he reached the door, he turned around abruptly, which startled the village owner, for fear that the other party wanted to turn his back on him.

"Trouble the village master, I don't know something, can I ask the village master?"

Seeing the woman nodding, Qiu Sheng bowed: "I wonder if there is a young master named Chu Yu in the Wugu village in Southern Xinjiang?"

The woman shook her head first, and then said: "Nine times out of ten, people in Wugu village will change their names after leaving the southern border. I wonder if your majesty can describe this person's appearance and physical signs? Maybe there is some reference value."

Qiu Sheng: "Slender and tall, with high browbones, and a pair of slightly long peach blossom eyes with beautiful eyes...a pair of vermilion tear moles on the eyelids, slightly protruding sphenoid bone and thin waist, although she has good kung fu, she has both blood and energy. Kong has a dead pulse, often with a pale face, sometimes it looks like someone who is about to die..."

He chatted, but saw the expression on the woman's face gradually, which seemed to be extremely surprised, mixed with a little fear, and when Qiu Sheng looked up, he hurriedly averted her eyes: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Your Majesty, Wu There is no such person in the Gu village."

Qiu Sheng frowned: "Is the village master so sure?"

"The Wugu village is full of ordinary-looking people. Anyone with a humble job can see. There has never been such a strange person as His Majesty said. If your majesty is worried, you can condescend to live in the Wugu village for two days and observe it yourself. "

The major events in Weizhou have not been clarified yet, and besides, I know that Chu Yu is at the Huadu station at this time, so Qiu Sheng really has no reason to stay in this ghost place, so he bid farewell: "Don't bother the village master, within three months , we must meet again in the capital."

While performing the vain salute, he muttered silently in his heart.

If the person in front of him hadn't lied to him, Chu Yu really wasn't from Wugu Village, and the possibility of Tianyuan Temple was ruled out, then there would be only one Cuiwei Pavilion left, even if he didn't want to accept it, it was a certainty.If the village master is talking nonsense, it is not only her attitude that is wrong, but also why Chu Yu appears and disappears in the capital city has become confusing.

Zhou Yong's words became a prophecy. Since the two parties were sincerely moved, it is a fool's dream to dismiss people with a few superficial explanations. In terms of Chu Yu's background and background, he was extremely persistent in wanting to remove the layer of window paper pasted by the client.With this thought, and the status of the nine emperors backing him, no matter how deep the secret is hidden, he can dig three feet to dig it out. It is only a matter of time before the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth.

To put it bluntly, I just want to no longer have any worries in the future.

Long Live Lord, who was scratching his head in southern Xinjiang and worrying about his future, was at ease in Huadu, completely forgetting all the messy things in the capital and Kunlun Mountains for a while.

Before Chu Yu came here, he thought that the "eviscerate the bones and clear the blood" in Xu Liushan's mouth should be a cruel scene of a bloody forest, but he didn't expect it to be such an almost innocuous treatment. It was also extremely light, and he didn't even feel much of a knife and a needle. The room was always burning with soothing spices, and he often fell asleep as if nothing had happened while bleeding.

It is probably because he has been in various pains all year round, and he has learned how to live with it peacefully without a teacher, and he can probably adapt to the skin and bleeding.Only when Xu Liushan raised his blade and stabbed him hard on the spine, would Chu Yu suddenly wake up from his sleep, and after regaining consciousness, he would automatically suppress the slight trembling caused by the severe pain, wishing to become completely deaf immediately , you no longer have to listen to the piercing sound of the big sharp knife piercing through the flesh and grinding on the bone, and while your scalp is numb, you have to restrain the urge to beat the doctor violently.

Eviscerate starts on time every day half an hour before the sun sets, and for the first time went directly to midnight, after that time gradually shortened, several months passed, and now the problem can be solved within half an hour.When Chu Yu gritted his teeth and calmed down his breathing, when he raised his eyes, there was still a twilight halo in Tianjiao.

He stretched his waist, tentatively got up from the bed, reached out to take a bowl of black medicinal soup that Xu Liushan handed over, raised his head and gulped it dry, slightly frowned and said in distaste: "Why is it so bitter."

"Just look at the black blood you've cleared these two days. If you don't take some harsh medicine, will you still live?" Xu Liushan has seen through this person. Live to the next life, and there will be no more scruples on the mouth, "I added some red dates as medicine, if I can't stand it any longer, clean my mouth with honey water after drinking the medicine...don't touch sweets."

Chu Yu's face suddenly turned bitter.

He calmly has been isolated from the world for a long time here, when he came here, the breeze was still a little cold on his face, but now it has entered the dog season, and the cicadas on the high branches outside the door have started to make noise.

He staggered out of the door with a mouth full of bitterness, his eyes that hadn't seen light for many days were suddenly pierced by the afterglow of the setting sun, Chu Yu slightly raised his hand to block it, and suddenly he could see the afterglow of the setting sun. Feel the infinite vitality in it.

In less than a year, my heart, which I thought had been dead for a long time, was alive again. I only felt that if the mountains and rivers were peaceful and the Kunlun curse was unraveled, according to what the man said, it would be really good to live so freely and happily for half a life. .

He was looking at the lights of the Wanjia lights from himself, and Xu Liushan patted his shoulder lightly. He turned around and faced a small needle that was piercing his neck. Chu Yu subconsciously leaned back. He escaped, but his wrist was twisted.

Xu Liushan squinted his eyes to check Chu He's pulse, and his expression eased a little: "The heart energy and blood vessels have stabilized a lot, and there is no need to use the knife every day for half a month after the bone removal. How do you feel? Physical strength, Spirit, sanity, are they all better?"

He almost asked Chu Yun's name directly, and Chu Yu smiled knowingly: "It's safe and sound, and it's a bit strange to be honest recently. I'm afraid it's because you, a freak, keep poking at me." The needles scared him away."

Xu Liushan wasn't in the mood to argue with him: "You don't need to bother to suppress it? Didn't you show up once these days?"

Chu Yu shook his head.

"It is said that the period of time when you remove the bones and cleanse the blood is the time when you are most out of control. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to do something, he is afraid that he is secretly planning something more treacherous and cunning. After you leave from me, hurry up Going to Tianyuan Temple, you can say that I am worrying unnecessarily, these things need to be planned in advance."

When the evening wind picked up, Xu Liushan pushed Chu Yu's back shoulder: "Go back and rest early, don't worry about everything."

These days, Chu Yu is either suffering from pain or lying on the bed. He only feels that if he sleeps for a long time, he will soon develop feelings for this small bed.

Seeing Chu Yu enter the house with frivolous steps and turn off the lights to sleep, Xu Liushan took out a tube of herbal medicine from his cuff, held two flints in his right hand and rubbed them quickly, the air gradually filled with light blue smoke, and a white bird From the corner, it followed the medicinal fragrance and flew to his hand.

He reached out his hand to take a roll of paper from the bird's claw, turned around again to confirm that Chu Yu, who was walking silently, showed no signs of killing halfway, completely relieved, and gently unfolded the letter.

The news was inquired by Liu Shi and Liu Wei. Back then, the two brothers and sisters had an emergency. Thanks to Xu Liushan's skillful rejuvenation, they saved their lives. They were also orphans. In order to repay their kindness, they stayed at Huadu Station to take care of him.Later, when he heard that Pavilion Cuiwei was going down the mountain, he sent these two people to play tricks and fool them. Who knew that when he met a ruthless character, both of them were defeated, Liu Shi even lost all his martial arts skills. , It took half a month to crawl back home.After recovering from his injuries, he secretly inquired about the news from the residents of Kunlun Mountain, and reported back to Xu Liushan.

Liu Shi's veins were broken, and Liu Wei simply couldn't even write a word. Every message could only be described slowly by the elder brother's strokes, and at most, it would not exceed a hundred words at a time.

Xu Liushan almost finished reading it at a glance, his brows gradually wrinkled.

On the North Cliff of Kunlun Mountains, Nansun was in chaos again.
