Gu Yun frowned and recalled carefully for a moment: "It sounds familiar, I heard it seems to be something from the north?"
"He is the head of the four evils worshipped by the Eighteen Tribes." Chen Qingxu said, "It is said that he has four legs, four arms, two heads and two hearts, and is in charge of wind disasters and famines. Discoloration, all living beings will be swallowed by it, and it is the most feared one in the northern barbarian land."
Gu Yun made a "uh" sound, not knowing why.
"I have been in the grasslands for half a year, but so far I have only tasted the eighteen books. The depth and origin of them are beyond our imagination. Many voodoo techniques are related to their strange and evil legends. The most vicious one is the 'Ur bone'. "Chen Qingxu paused slightly, "'Four legs, four arms, two heads and two hearts', literally, what does Lord Hou sound like?"
Gu Yun hesitated: "It sounds like two people are glued together."
Chen Qingxu: "Yes, Xie Wuergu devoured his brother as soon as he was born, and has since gained double the power. There is an ancient witchcraft in the Eighteen Tribes. How long does it take to merge into one, and the eccentrics cultivated can obtain the power of evil, also called 'Ur bone'."
Gu Yun listened, was silent for a while, and gently pressed his rib cage. Although he was protected by a steel plate, for some reason, he still felt a pain like a needle stick under his rib.
Chen Qingxu hurriedly said, "Master Hou, your injury"
"It's okay," Gu Yun waved his hand, he licked his lips slightly, and asked in a slow tone, "Miss Chen, I don't understand a little bit, what does it mean to 'make two people one'?"
Chen Qingxu hesitated.
"It doesn't matter," Gu Yun said, "you can say whatever."
"I'm also hearing it, I'm afraid it's not accurate," Chen Qingxu said in a low voice, "that is, put a pair of children under one year old in a sealed place, and not give light, water, or food, and one of the two will be killed first. Suffocation, take out the dead baby, and refine it with a secret method."
Gu Yun thought for a moment that the efficacy of the medicine on his body had passed, and his ears were useless again, so he asked with difficulty, "What?"
"Refining." Chen Qingxu bit the word slightly, "Then cooperate with the secret medicine of the barbarian witch, and give it to his surviving brothers bit by bit."
Gu Yun lost his voice: "Can that child still live?"
"The commander underestimated the eighteen thousand-year-old voodoo arts," Chen Qingxu sighed, "among the lost voodoo arts, there are even records of turning dead people into living creatures that can run and move. What's more, they use a living person to refine tools. They think that the person who has been refined in this way is called 'Ur bone', or has infinite strength since childhood, or is smarter than ordinary people, all because 'he' is actually two people, four-legged and two-footed. First, you can invite the power of evil."
Gu Yun hesitated: "Forgive my ignorance, I don't have any insight into this kind of thing, Miss Chen, I think this sounds like a nonsense spread among the uncivilized and ignorant people."
Chen Qingxu said: "Using our inherent knowledge and understanding, Lord Hou can regard Ur bone as a kind of poison that destroys wisdom. Some lunatics are indeed infinitely more powerful than ordinary people, and their perspectives on things are often different from ordinary people. It's not new to appear intelligent when you're not completely insane."
Gu Yun: "There are things that cannot be understood with our inherent knowledge."
Chen Qingxu said: "Commander, to tell you the truth, I sneaked into the Eighteen Tribes to search for voodoo techniques, not only for your ears, but also to trace the bones of Ur, but there are very few records related to barbarians, only A rumor about an ancient barbarian general, that man's name is 'Uergu', this man is cruel and bloodthirsty, but he has won every battle, and single-handedly established the situation that the eighteen tribes are now unified. He lived thirty-two years and life. Unmarried, the reason is 'Neither life nor death, neither male nor female'."
+ + +
Gu Yun got goosebumps when he heard it.
Chen Qingxu: "I checked this person's death and background, and I learned that his mother was born as a pair of twins, but there was no record of the girl after that, nor did it say that there are two explanations for her death, or the family After the defeat the girl is lost, or"
This pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses were refined into Ur bones, the dead and the living became one, and the male and the female grew together, so that "there is neither life nor death, neither male nor female".
Gu Yun's hand under his ribs tightened, and Chen Qingxu asked nervously, "Master Hou, is the steel plate loose?"
Gu Yun bent down, took a breath after a long while, and said in a low voice, "Why would someone do such a thing?"
Chen Qingxu helped him to the side and sat down: "Usually this kind of ruthless hand is used when the country is destroyed and the family is in danger, and the blood is used as a sacrifice to offer revenge to the evil, and all people named Urgu are born. When it happens, it will cause bloody turmoil.”
Gu Yun: "You just said that it's like a kind of poison that hurts people's intellect. Make this part more clear."
Chen Qingxu said: "Urgu will go crazy. At first, it is a nightmare. Over time, people will become sensitive and suspicious. If they don't control it, they will gradually have hallucinations. Finally,"
"That's why" Gu Yun only said two words, his voice was so hoarse that it seemed to split, he had to clear his throat hard to continue the sentence, "So you gave him an escort. "
Chen Qingxu: ""
Of course she knew who Gu Yun was referring to, so she had no choice but to acquiesce.
Gu Yun closed his eyes slightly - remembering that, Chang Geng had casually mentioned to him more than once, that he was so angry that he could not sleep well, but he didn't take it to heart at all, he just thought that this child would learn from the Chen family. The medical demon is blocked, and all day long, I make myself as full of health preservation as the little old man, but it turns out that there are so many difficulties.
Gu Yun: "How far is Chang Geng?"
Chen Qingxu was silent for a while.
Gu Yun: "You said, I can accept it no matter what. As long as I live for one day, I will take care of whether he is crazy or stupid."
Chen Qingxu said: "His Royal Highness has a firm will and a peaceful mind. Over the years, the ur bones on his body have not been attacked very much. He knows it himself, and he is a little more restrained than ordinary people. It's just that I used a needle to suppress it a while ago. Stay, Lord Hou don't have to worry."
Although she said it vaguely, Gu Yun could hear it - she had always been in a peaceful mood, and had never had any episodes, except for a while ago.
"It's because of me." He thought blankly, getting up almost like a corpse, staggering for a while, his face as if he had just been stabbed.
Then he let Chen Qingxu want to help him, and walked away in despair. The rigid steel plate supported him, making him look like an iron puppet that was quickly burning out.
Chen Qingxu stopped in place for a moment, Su Bai's face was very solemn, she involuntarily glanced back in the direction of the capital - the wooden bird released a few days ago should have arrived in Beijing, it was just a decision written in her letter Really
The sky in the capital was gloomy, and when the wooden bird flew by, the small figures all blended into the oppressive black clouds, almost invisible.
Zhang Fenghan got out of a carriage and thanked the people in the carriage, "I'd like to ask you to take the time to send the old man here."
Chang Geng lifted the curtain of the car and said with a smile, "I've been living in the military plane for days, and I should go back to the Hou's residence to get some clothes for laundry. It's just a drop in. You don't need to be polite—but the Lingshu Academy didn't prepare a carriage for you?"
Zhang Fenghan didn't care much: "I use it all to run errands for the people below. I don't want to go to Beijing, and I should be active. Now there are wars everywhere, and the court is using money everywhere. Let's save a little bit. Just a little bit, can't turn the tide, can't you do your best?"
Chang Geng smiled and said, "It's this principle, the later generations will be taught."
Zhang Fenghan hurriedly said, "Don't dare," but Chang Geng stopped him and said, "Gong Fenghan stay behind."
As he spoke, he took out Zhang Fenghan's blasphemous memorial requesting the emperor to lift the ban on Zi Liujin, and handed it over with both hands: "Fenghan Gong forgives my sins, I stopped this document without authorization, and did not send it up-here There are no outsiders. Let me tell you something to punish the heart. The folk Ziliujin has always been a piece of the emperor's inverse scale. Since Emperor Wu, he has not relaxed for a day. Comparing hearts, Ziliujin is no different from the imperial jade seal to the emperor. , if you are the emperor, can you allow the people to privately sell carrots and jade seals for fun?"
Zhang Fenghan knew that it would be useless to hand over his book. Either he was called back by the military plane, or he made Emperor Longan lose his temper again, but he was quite literate and always thought, "I should say if you like it or not. "Speaking," Who would have thought that His Royal Highness King Yan would come to him in person, and speak so frankly.
Zhang Fenghan's old face was a little red due to his frankness, and he sighed: "His Royal Highness, His Highness is right, but he was confused for a while, causing trouble to His Highness."
"I know that Duke Fenghan's heart of boxing and boxing for the country and the people is the backbone of the Lingshu Academy. These years have been difficult for the Liangliang, and the steel armor is all up to you to handle it," Chang Geng waved his hand, "We are protecting You are too late, so why bother?"
Zhang Fenghan was a bit at a loss, but Wang Yan was extremely sincere, and his tone didn't make people feel nauseous.
"My little brother Ge Chen has been whispering in my ear all day since he entered Lingshu Academy," Chang Geng teased, "I wish I could even drink Houkui and pickled radish. We all learned it together, and I think he was about to buy a white hair and wear it every day."
Zhang Fenghan's old face was really red this time, and he wished he could call his new apprentice Ge Chen over to give him a slap, and throw everything into Yan Wang's ear.
"Ge Chen and I grew up together in Yanhui City. When we were young, we caught up with the barbarian invasion. There is no one in his family. He has been with me for so many years." Don't talk nonsense, let's be honest, there is an unkind request, Ge Chen wants to ask me to tell Duke Fenghan that he has always admired Duke Fenghan's character and wants to recognize you, be an elder, and ask for nothing else I just want to be able to serve under my knees in the future, and it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, what do you think?"
Zhang Fenghan was breathing rapidly for a while.
After Ge Chen entered Beijing with Shen Yi, he stayed in the capital and entered the Lingshu Academy. He was diligent, smart, and talented. He had a special affinity with Zhang Fenghan, and was accepted by the old man as a direct disciple within a few days.
But he is not without self-knowledge. In his life, Zhang Fenghan has no power and no power, and he will be unwelcome all day long. What benefits can he bring to people? Who can you bless? Even if the old man is desolate, except for a few old dogs at home, who is willing to pay attention to him
Chang Geng looked at his expression: "Oh, I told him long ago that Lord Fenghan loves cleanliness, and doesn't like to be noisy like him, you don't have to be embarrassed, I'll just scold him for you later, don't worry. , that thing is heartless since childhood, and will not take it to heart."
Zhang Fenghan hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, wait! Your Highness! I am an old man"
When he was in a hurry, his tongue was knotted, his forehead was sweating, and Chang Geng didn't make a sound, so he looked at him and smiled without any haze.
It was rare for Zhang Fenghan to see his immature and prudent appearance. When he came back, he smiled helplessly and said, "Your Highness is really."
"Then I'll tell him, I'll turn the corner and go home, and I'll give you the letter," Chang Geng said briskly, "I'll go back and ask Xiao Ge to kowtow to you when he finds a good time—by the way, this look If it's going to rain, take an umbrella from me in case you need it"
Zhang Fenghan, the old thorn-head who was stung by Li Fengman's head, bid him farewell with a smile, and watched King Yan's car go away with kind eyes.
As soon as Chang Geng left his forefoot, the sky turned out as he had said, and a light rain started to fall.
Duke Fenghan held up the umbrella that Chang Geng left him, and felt a little emotional for a while. For the past six months, the army has been in chaos and chaos. The big pillar has not collapsed yet, and there are still a few people supporting it.
There are so many smart and talented people in the world, but if a person is too smart, he will always lose a bit of blood, and he is more inclined to be wise and protect his life. Only those who are truly wise and brave can take the lead and provoke that beam. come together.
Those who walk in the front are destined to work hard, and they may not end well, and they are not worth it anymore.
Duke Fenghan turned his head and saw a snow-white monk's robe flashing past at the end of the alley, he suppressed the smile on his face and walked over quickly.
The restaurant in the alley is not as dignified and dignified as the Yuanlou Building in the past, but more like a casual small tea shop. He was lightly knocked on the wooden stairs a few times, and when he looked up, he saw that the master took off the wet bamboo hat, gave him a slight nod on the second floor, and quickly walked up to the guild.
The two walked into the innermost private room one after the other. There was already a middle-aged man waiting inside. The man was about forty or fifty years old. The corners of his eyes and brows are all round, but if there is an official from the Ministry of Household here, he will probably be very surprised - this person is Du Wanquan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River.
Du Wanquan made his fortune in the south of the Yangtze River. He once personally formed a caravan to go to the Western Ocean. He was the only giant in the Liang Dynasty who went to the Western Ocean since Emperor Wu opened the sea.
Later, he moved to the northwest and was elected as the president of the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce on the Ancient Silk Road.
As early as when the Marquis of Anding was ordered to reflect on their salaries in the capital for some unknown reason, and before returning home, this big businessman with a keen sense of smell took the lead in calling members of the chamber of commerce to start evacuating in batches. After that, the turmoil in the Western Regions did not hurt too many innocent people. It is said that the weather vane of this rich man leads the way in time.
No one knows how much Du Wanquan has, and they all say that he is rich enough to rival the country—of course, judging from Daliang's current poverty, it's not a big deal to be able to rival the country.
Such a wealthy man is now gathered in a rather shabby little wine shop with the monk of Huguo Temple and the old thorn in Lingshu Academy.
Seeing Zhang Fenghan, Du Wanquan hurriedly got up and gave him the seat, cupped his hands and said, "Please, please, I haven't seen my old brother for more than ten years. Now it seems that you are not at all. It hasn't changed, and the style is better than it was in the past."
Zhang Fenghan declined and said, "Where are you talking, you're old."
Du Wanquan sternly said: "Before a certain Du went to Beijing, he was dissuaded by his wife and children, lest the situation in the capital would not be stable. I will explain this to them, and I told them that Mr. Fenghan is not older than me. Is it high? When the army is under the city, I am unarmed and fearless. Although I am a small businessman, although I can’t compare with this kind of peerless countryman, if I dare not even come to visit after the event, what is it?”
Du Cai has lived in shopping malls for a long time, and he is amiable to make money. Talking to His Royal Highness Yan Wang is similar in effect. They are two sentences that can make people's faces red and make people feel useful. Zhang Fenghan realizes that if he continues to be polite, they will be dark. I may not be able to speak serious things before, so I have to sit in the first place.
Knowing the monk put his hands together, he gestured and said, "Mr. Du's family has a great business, and he has a lot of time to deal with, and Duke Feng will have to rush back to the Lingshu Academy in a while, so let's stop gossiping. "
With that said, he took out the Buddha beads in his arms, pulled it gently, and a string of beads was scattered. He clearly broke apart the largest spacer bead, and took out an old hollow wood with a simple outer shell and countless exquisite beads inside. The gears are quietly displayed.
Duke Fenghan and Du Wanquan looked at each other, no longer being polite, and each took out a similar piece of hollow wood from their arms. The three pieces of hollow wood were placed together, attracted to each other, and slid on the table by themselves, the gears inside each other Bite together, and in the blink of an eye, they fit together tightly, forming the upper part of a wooden sign with the word "Lin" on it.
"The last time this brand was put together was more than 200 years ago," Du Wanquan sighed, "The last time the ancestors and seniors entrusted this to Emperor Taizu, they did not choose the wrong person, in exchange for Two hundred years of peaceful and prosperous times have now passed to our generation, I hope this time we can still choose the right master today to call 'Linyuan', presumably someone has chosen."
Lingran gestured: "Old Zhong and Chen's family are on the front line, and no one can come. Mr. Zhong entrusted someone to bring his opinions and the wooden sign that he kept a few days ago. Miss Chen is in chaos and people are a little farther away. , I haven't seen it yet, but I guess it's just a day and a half."
Du Wanquan glanced at the Linyuan wooden sign on the table, and said solemnly, "Master, please speak."
"Amitabha," Li Li folded his hands and lowered his head, "there was a man who used Linyuan Pavilion's wooden bird to pass a book since the beginning of the war and left a move for the besieged capital. Take the throne-"
Hearing this, Zhang Fenghan immediately echoed: "I agree with the person that the master said. I have had the most contact with His Royal Highness King Yan in the court. Although he is young, he has both political integrity and talent. I am willing to entrust this wooden plaque to him— I'm ashamed to say, this old thing of mine has been eating for many years, and it's useless at the critical moment. When I heard the battle report from the front line, I was stunned. I didn't think that the Western army could really besiege the capital, and I didn't think of using a wooden bird to send a letter to Mr. Du. ,how do you say?"
The two of them at the table looked at Du Wanquan at the same time. Du Wanquan thought for a while, but didn't answer for a while, and said smoothly, "His Royal Highness Yanwang is very precious, I have never contacted him, but I heard that His Highness once studied with Mr. The Chen family has friendship, those two must know better, why not wait for them?"
Knowing that he took out a wooden bird from his bosom, there was a very thin seal on the belly of the wooden bird, which was in good condition.
"This is Mr. Zhong's," understandably said, "The poor monk hasn't opened it yet, please."
Du Wanquan rubbed his hands together and said embarrassedly, "You're welcome, Mr. Du."
He said, carefully unsealing the seal, breaking open the belly of the bird, and taking out the fourth wooden sign from the inside.
When this piece is spelled out, most of the word "Yuan" is spelled out, only one corner is left, and a piece of sea-grained paper from Zhongchan is pressed under the wooden sign.
Zhang Fenghan said: "Old Zhong taught His Royal Highness Yan Wang hand in hand to dispatch troops, mount and shoot kung fu, what kind of affection is that, no?"
His voice suddenly stopped, and he saw Du Wanquan laying General Zhong Chan's sea pattern paper on the table, and the note wrote: "This son has a talent for peace in the world, but his childhood was too rough. , After middle age, it may not end from the beginning, and there is a hidden danger of 'Ur bone', please be careful."
