the enlightener says

"What?" Qin Ke thought he heard it wrong, and even Chu Gou pushed his chin hard once again.

What do you mean?Could it be that this girl Gongshu has taken a fancy to his master?How do you say that the two have just met, so they are about to make a promise with their bodies?

It's a pity that I'm afraid I don't have such good luck in my life... Chugou sighed in his heart, the girl who is a public loser, even if she is just a fake husband, she should have an endless amount of rich food and clothing for a while, right? ?

Chu Gou looked at Gongshu Yinxue carefully again, with strange eyes.

Although this male Shu Yinxue was covered in blood all over his body and his hair was messy in the crowd of dead people, but after all, he was born beautiful, and he is definitely a rare beauty in the world... Such a marriage with a status, maybe it will be born for a long time Love, can you still do a fake show for real?

Gongshu Yinxue looked at Qin Ke's still ugly face, bit her lower lip, and simply stopped hiding, and said, "Young Master Qin, it's not that I don't want to find someone else, it's just that the situation is urgent right now, and there is really no one more suitable than you." Already!"

She put her eyes on the faces of Bai Qi and Chu Gou again, and after staying for a few breaths, she still sighed, "To tell you the truth, my public loser has a tradition, that is, every year when the ancestors are worshipped, they will choose the ancestors of the ancestors. The younger generation with excellent internal cultivation or proficient in mechanical tricks enters the underground palace of the public loser for trials. If they can break through the traps set up by the ancestors, they can be personally taught by my ancestors who have not retreated all the year round. It's just that after so many years, no one has been able to break through the maze... My cultivation base is not high, but I can also tell that Mr. Qin is the one with the highest cultivation base among the three. Now I am alone at home, and the only one who can turn the situation around Yes, maybe only the ancestors."

Qin Ke frowned and said, "Old ancestor?"

Bai Qi pondered for a moment at this time, and asked tentatively: "Miss Yinxue, the ancestor you are talking about...couldn't it be the old man who was the chief instructor of organ skills in Jishang Academy? I heard from my master Mentioning him, he presided over the construction of the organ array in Jicheng at the beginning. The waterwheel with a height of more than [-] feet is still driving various organs, making the entire organ city seem to have life, day and night. It's running non-stop."

Chu Gou was stunned, more than thirty feet?Where is this waterwheel?It is clearly a mountain!To make such a behemoth work, what kind of water source should be used as power?

He had never been to Jicheng, so naturally he couldn't picture in his mind how mysterious and magnificent that whole city full of organs should be.

"That's right, Gongshu Pan is the ancestor of my family." Gongshu Yinxue nodded and said: "My Gongshu is not good at cultivation, the most commendable thing is mechanism skills. It's just that there was a 'rebellion' later, which caused me The public loser has been repeatedly criticized, and now he can only live in a tiny place in Jinzhou... But even so, the ancestors are still the biggest talkers of my public loser, not only my third and fourth uncles, but also the elders of the clan, even My uncle, the current patriarch, should not dare to disobey him."

Qin Ke understood a little bit, and asked hesitantly: "You... want me to participate in the agency trial as your husband-in-law, break through the labyrinth of agencies and find your ancestors to get out, and stand up for you?"

"The old ancestor will not stand up for me, but he will not stand up for others." Gongshu Yinxue shook his head and said, "He is an outsider. The house is not important, he just wants to study his mechanism skills in the underground palace with peace of mind. But as long as he stands behind me, I have the qualifications to compete with the three and four houses, and the clan elders may also see it in the old For the sake of the ancestors, help me."

"How can you be sure that I will be able to break through the trap formation?" Qin Ke looked at Gongshu Yinxue's determined look, frowned and said, "If I lose, won't it be for nothing that I will spoil Miss Yinxue's innocence?"

Gongshu Yinxue shook his head, but asked: "Young Master, can you have three levels of cultivation?"

"Uh... Forget it, let's do it." Qin Ke scratched his head and looked up at her.

When Gongshu Yinxue heard this, his face was filled with joy, and he said: "Mr. Qin, you are so young, your cultivation base has already entered the third realm, and you are only one step away from that little master. Looking at the youth of our entire Gongshu In a lifetime, I can't find a person as outstanding as the young master. If you can't even pass the young master Qin, it can only show that the maze of traps set up by the ancestors didn't want people to pass through at all, so... I resigned myself to my fate, and took my younger brother away from my ancestral home, and then stayed away from the public losers, and lived my life as a commoner, living a life of ordinary life."

Hearing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Girl...you are driving tigers and wolfs away, aren't you afraid that asking God is easy and giving God away is difficult? You and Brother Qin just met, and you dare to entrust such a big event, don't be afraid A little sloppy?"

Qin Ke was not angry at all when he heard Bai Qi's words, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes. If I turn around to plot your family business in the future, are you afraid that you will lose everything?"

"Would you know it?" Gongshu Yinxue frowned slightly, with a sly look on his face.

"Of course I...won't..." Qin Ke sighed, and saw a trace of helplessness on Bai Qi's face. He knew that Bai Qi was helping him out of trouble just now, but he couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense.

But Gongshu Yinxue gave Bai Qi a slight salute at this time, and the corner of his mouth slightly turned up: "I have always admired the great righteousness of Mohists since I was a child. Anyone who can walk with Mr. Bai Qi must not be a treacherous person. "

Bai Qi smiled awkwardly, and could only make an expression like "brother, I tried my best" to Qin Ke.

3Chapter 16 High Fives

Gongshu Yinxue didn't pay attention to the subtle expression changes of Qin Ke and Bai Qi. At this point, she was honest about her good and bad, so she laughed at herself and sighed: "After all, people can only see what is in front of them." In this small space, my daughter's family is even more short-sighted, maybe in the future I will regret my sloppiness for the rest of my life, but... I have to have a future to count."

"But I really..."

Qin Ke hurriedly played around in place for several times, hesitating to speak, he thought that his trip was actually going to the public loser to win the Five Elements Sinan, but he felt that it was too much to accept the public loser Yinxue's "recruiting a son-in-law" Some take advantage of others.

Gongshu Yinxue waited for a while, seeing that Qin Ke was still hesitating, he finally lost his patience, and said disappointedly: "I understand, it is really difficult for me to force others...Young Master Qin, you... just pretend that I didn't say anything. But, I also want to thank you and Mr. Bai for helping me bury my second grandfather. You still accept this jade pendant, and it is my gratitude."

She forcibly grabbed Qin Ke's palm, and pressed the jade pendant into his palm. After a pause, her eyes were slightly moist again: "I hope... there is a chance to see you again."

The decisiveness in these words seemed to have turned into a mountain, and it weighed on Qin Ke's heart for a while, making him breathless. Seeing that Gongshu Yinxue really turned around and walked a few steps alone, he finally opened his mouth and said : "Miss Yinxue, then... if the matter ends, can it be treated as if nothing happened between you and me?"

Gongshu Yinxue heard Qin Ke's meaning, and immediately turned her head to look at Qin Ke, with a gleam of light in her bright eyes: "Of course. No matter whether the matter is successful or not, after breaking through the mechanism maze next year, young master wants to go Go wherever you want, Yinxue will never stop you."

Bai Qi glanced at Qin Ke, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and thought: Are you really planning to help people to the end?

Qin Ke squeezed the hilt of the Bodhisattva's sword, and said with a heroic look on his face: "Okay, I promise to help you. But... I don't want your jade pendant, let alone your property, I just want one thing."

Gongshu Yinxue walked in front of Qin Ke again, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "What... is your son asking for?"

However, she suddenly felt the heat and anticipation in Qin Ke's eyes, and even Qin Ke's expression showed a bit of eagerness. Gongshu Yinxue frowned, her thoughts turned around, and a blush suddenly rose on her face, and she hurriedly lowered herself Turn your head away, not daring to meet his eyes.

"If son..." Her voice trembled, she twisted the two streamers on the skirt with both hands, and said shyly: "If son really wants to have sex with Yinxue... It's not that Yinxue can't agree, it's just... only……"

Qin Ke also tilted his head, and carefully glanced at Gongshu Yinxue... What do you mean by really doing it?do what?

It's just that he soon heard Bai Qi and Chu Gou's chuckles in his ears, and after carefully looking at Gongshu Yinxue's shy appearance for a while, he suddenly understood.

He frantically waved his hands around Gongshu Yinxue, but felt that such actions were too stupid, so he slapped her shoulder vigorously, and said loudly: "Miss Yinxue! You, you misunderstood, I... This is not what I want."

Gongshu Yinxue was slapped vigorously by him, and his body almost fell over. While touching his shoulder, he looked at Qin Ke in a daze: "What is that?"

"Five Elements Division." Qin Ke nodded seriously: "It's in your public loser, have you heard of it?"

Gongshu Yinxue gritted her teeth, she usually has a straightforward temper, but now she realized that she had actually talked with Qin Keji just now, she didn't show any embarrassment, instead she frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she still hasn't found any information about this thing from her memory.

"Five Elements Sinan... Are you sure it's called this name? Are you sure it's our public loser?" She turned her delicate eyes, and said hesitantly: "Since the young master wants it, Yinxue will definitely help him, maybe..."

Gongshu Yinxue's eyebrows frowned even tighter, it looked like two willow leaves rubbed together by the hands of a naughty child, she said: "I went into the warehouse where our Gongshu's valuables are stored with my second grandfather before. Several times, and counted several times, I have never seen or heard what the young master said, but maybe it is in the hands of the ancestors."

"In the hands of the public loser?" Qin Ke was speechless. In that case, wouldn't it be necessary for him to meet the "ancestor" of the public loser?Thinking about it this way, he felt that the agreement with Gongshu Yinxue didn't seem to disturb him so much. After all, the two had different starting points, but their goals coincided with each other.

But when I went back to Jinzhou and saw that guy Gao Yishui, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain.If he knew that in order to obtain the Five Elements Sinan, he actually agreed to a fake marriage with someone, and that he was a fake husband-in-law...

And Cai Yan, when she found out about this, how would she react?

But Qin Ke had already made up his mind, so he stopped being mother-in-law and patted Gongshu Yinxue on the shoulder again, but this time the strength was much lighter.

Qin Ke said: "Then it's a deal! I promise Miss Yinxue to be a fake husband-in-law, and then go to the trap, but in exchange, Miss Yinxue has to help me find the location of Wuxing Sinan, how?"

Gongshu Yinxue raised his hand to wipe away the wet tears on his face, and suddenly broke through his tears and said with a smile: "Okay, it's a deal! Let's high-five as an oath."

Qin Ke followed suit with a grin. For him, the Five Elements Sinan is something he must get when he goes to Jinzhou this time. Now that he has a pointer and a compass on his body, he should be able to reorganize the Five Elements Sinan, one of the artifacts, and use it to Induction to find other artifacts, and at the same time... to find the master.

The palms of the two slapped lightly in the air, the sound was silent, but there were quite a few ripples in the hearts of both of them.

Bai Qi coughed lightly, couldn't help laughing and said: "So, now I should congratulate you two for becoming lovers and being together forever?"

Gongshu Yinxue's face subconsciously showed a bit of shame again, but Qin Ke didn't think too much, patted his chest hard, and said: "This is a gentleman's appointment!"

Chu Gou muttered softly at the side: "I got a beautiful and rich aunt for nothing, and I swore that it was a gentleman's appointment...shameless, shameless..."

Mohism, Jinzhou.

The Gongshu Mansion in the north of Jinzhou City is the largest house in the entire Jinzhou City. It was built on Budang Mountain in Jinzhou decades ago. , quietly taking a panoramic view of the entire Jinzhou City.

The mansion is full of pavilions and pavilions, and the cornices are undulating like mountains. A large lake with a width of [-] feet was even spent a lot of manpower and material resources in the center. There are rockery waterfalls and waterwheels slowly rotating. The water mist rises, as if a fairyland has been opened up again in this spiritual mountain.

The grandeur of this mansion may not be comparable even to the mansions of princes and princes in Jicheng.According to the regulations of the Mohist school, this is even a kind of transgression. Naturally, it is inevitable to be scolded and impeached by those gray-haired but stubborn old Confucian scholars in Jishang Academy.

But to this day, few people in the court dare to criticize the public loser's behavior in Jinzhou.Because many years ago, nearly a hundred Confucian officials signed a joint letter, mainly to impeach the public loser for violating the etiquette and committing the crime of disrespect. , this heart should be punished!

The two factions have been fighting for many years, and they have reached a consensus on a rare occasion.However, what is surprising is that at that time, the giant of the Mohist school was furious. Within a day, more than forty officials from the Confucianism and the Legalist schools were sent to prison, and some were beaten to pieces by the court stick. , and some were denounced or even exiled.

As for why the giant got angry, and why he refused to deal with the public loser who participated in the "rebellion" at the beginning, it can only become a mystery in the hearts of all officials.However, Baiguan also seemed to understand that this matter had nothing to do with their joint letter, and Juzi seemed to simply want to protect the public loser.

In short, after that day, no one in the court dared to mention the matter of dealing with public losers and cleaning up etiquette.

The public losers are still standing in Jinzhou.

Sitting in the guest room, Abu looked at the delicate rockery and the cascading waterfall outside the window. The cool wind in late autumn was obviously dry, but in such a place where the mist rises, it feels a little more damp and cool. Soothing.

But the worry in his heart could not be relieved by the beautiful scenery. Looking at the flickering candle, he worried: "I don't know where Ah Ke is now? Counting the days, he should arrive at last."

Gao Yishui sat across from him, the guqin was placed on the table, occupying most of the tabletop, and he closed his eyes, calmly, and in the middle he reached out and patted Cai Yan's little hand that quietly reached out to pluck his strings.

He smiled lightly: "What are you worried about?"

3Chapter 17 "The Grace of Saving Life"

Gao Yishui was able to keep calm in various situations, but Abu felt that he might not be able to do it in his whole life. After changing his eyes several times, he finally couldn't help but said: "After all, Ake is alone and weak. How to win the battle? Even if it’s just running away, he might lose his way if he wanders around in the vast mountains. Mr. asked me not only to help Ah Ke find the artifact, but also to use my life I protected A Ke well, but now I am intact, and A Ke is alive or dead... If there is something wrong with him, how will I have the face to meet his spirit in heaven, and how will I have the face to go back to Jing Wu to see Mr.

Gao Yishui laughed, shaking his head with a helpless expression: "How can you say it so seriously? Abu, you have been in the Imperial Academy for so long, why haven't you learned even half of Zhuge Wanling's calmness... Life is full of dissatisfaction, often With thousands of years of worry, you are as worried and thoughtful as you, and sooner or later you will die of exhaustion."

Gao Yishui began to pluck the strings gently, and the melodious sound of the piano seemed to echo the sound of running water outside the window, he said: "You and I both know how strong Ake is. After entering the forest, Lu Ming's flying sword will It is difficult to perform against heavy forests, and the power is naturally greatly reduced. In addition, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and spiritual practitioners do not have the physique that can maintain full energy for several days without rest like Qi and blood practitioners, and with his current physical condition, he cannot sustain A few days..."

"But what if he insists on catching Ah Ke?" A Bu asked.

Gao Yishui waved his hand: "If he really pushes himself so hard, I'm afraid he will have to go underground to meet the ancestors of the Mu family before he wins the Five Elements Sinan on A Ke's body. Besides, A Ke has innate wind skills , The hidden body is much better than ordinary people, it is very difficult for him to beat the three of them, but it is not difficult to escape."

Abu sighed, and reluctantly nodded. In fact, what Gao Yishui said, he has also thought about it countless times in his heart these days, but seeing that more than ten days have passed, and there is no news of Qin Ke, the big stone hanging in his heart Never landed.

Cai Yan was lying on the table with her head tilted, looking lazy, she chuckled softly and said: "What is there to worry about? If he is still alive, he will naturally come to Jinzhou to meet us. He can't be found anywhere in Funiu Mountain."

"That's the reason." Gao Yishui struck with two palms, pointed at Cai Yan and grinned, "However, I don't think Abu can be as carefree as you in his life."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, the sound was neither soft nor heavy, but it was just enough for several people in the room to hear clearly, and someone said respectfully outside: "Several guests, the third master, please go to the front hall Dine."

Hearing this, the eyes of the three of them froze slightly. Gao Yishui and Cai Yan exchanged glances, and Abu had already stood up nervously. He also looked at Gao Yishui and asked him with his mouth if he should open the door.

"Here we come." Gao Yishui responded, waving his hands to signal Abu to sit down first.

"What are you so nervous about? They're just treating guests to a meal, and they're not trying to kill us with a knife. What's more, we are still their 'saviors' now, and the guests should act like guests."

Abu took two deep breaths, tried to relax his muscles, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I want to be nervous, but the 'savior' is just a play, in case he finds out..."

"What's fake? What's real?" Cai Yan giggled and said, "We did pretend to be bandits and kidnapped him, but if you don't tell me, I don't tell you, how would he know about the bandits who kidnapped him? Are you actually with the benefactor who saved him?"

"Brilliant!" Gao Yishui shook his thumb.

Gao Yishui said: "At the end of the day, you can just treat them as fools kept in the dark, what are you afraid of them doing? You should be able to do things with ease, without changing your face, people are in the light, we are in the dark, understand? "

"Understood, I understand..." Abu gradually raised his breath and replied vigorously.

"Then open the door now?"

"Open the door."

"Is the door really open?"

"Open the door!"

Seeing that Abu was still hesitating, Gao Yishui simply walked over and opened the door abruptly, which surprised the servants waiting outside the door. He saw three people in the room standing one by one, and Gao Yishui, the leader, had an idle smile on his face. , the eyes are careless and dissolute.

"After drinking some tea, I'm really hungry." Gao Yishui stretched himself.

The servant pursed his lips, and said softly: "The third master has prepared meals in the front hall, and he just ordered the younger one to guide the three of you."

"Then it's time to work." Gao Yishui raised his chin, signaling the servant to go first.

The three of them followed the servants through the long corridor, and the sound of the waterfall beating the water wheel gradually became a ding-dong ding-dong music along the way. Gao Yishui looked at the bamboo tubes and bamboo tubes in the corridor. The flowing water is poured into these bamboo tubes bit by bit, and the bamboo tubes are shaken and collided to distribute the water to different places of high and low, as if playing countless delicate musical instruments. Finally, the seemingly single The melody is intertwined into one piece, and it has a magnificent momentum.

"Is this also a kind of organ technique?" Gao Yishui's eyes lighted up slightly. He has always liked rhythm and claimed to be the best luthier in the world, but this is the first time he has seen playing music in such a clever way.

"Yes." The servant tilted his head slightly, bowed his head and replied with a smile: "The mechanism technique of our public losers has been passed down to this day. It’s not as good as our Gongshu ancestors. This is just a small skill, but the real power is the water wheel under the waterfall.”

"I know." Gao Yishui looked at Abu, saw that he still looked extremely nervous, and hurried to his side, chatting, "The thirty-foot-high waterwheel in the Mohist mechanism city was built by the public loser. With the power of water flow, the introduction of gears is enough to produce the power of thousands of cows and horses, so as to drive the various machines in the organ city, which is really a wonderful workmanship."

Abu met Gao Yishui's gaze, and knew for a moment that they were here to do business with the public loser, and they should be lucky to have entered the public loser's house unscathed.

So he nodded vigorously and forced a simple smile towards Gao Yishui, the tension in his heart gradually disappeared a lot.

While talking, several people had already walked to the front hall.

The place called "Front Hall" is actually located on a pavilion in the middle of the mountain. Floor-to-ceiling doors and windows are open on all sides. No matter from which angle you look out, you can see different scenery. Although it is late autumn, the breeze is blowing But it didn't make them feel the slightest chill, just like a pair of gentle plain hands, stroking their hair and caressing their cheeks.

Gongshu Jiu, the third master of the Gongshu family, had already greeted him with his arms folded, and very thoughtfully led Gao Yishui and the three into the banquet, and took their seats.

The round table in front of them was filled with delicacies. Among them was a large pot with a diameter of three feet. Inside was a thick and mellow soup, and there were a few plump fresh fish, which looked like they were alive again, shaking their heads and tails.The bear's paws are wrapped in crystal clear honey, dotted with scallops rolled in gold leaf, and there are more than ten dishes, such as bird's nest sea cucumber and shredded chicken soup, abalone and water shield with pearl soup, matsutake and sheep tripe steamed deer tail... There are dozens more The delicate side dishes that Dao even Gao Yishui couldn't distinguish for a while were scattered around.

Gongshu Jiu graciously filled everyone with drinks, and then said: "Mr. Gao, I wonder if you slept soundly at Gongshu's house last night?"

Gao Yishui glanced at the dense mountain scenery outside the window, and said with a smile: "The sound of the waterfall is a bit louder, and I couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night."

Gongshu Jiu made a surprised look, patted the table and said: "My negligence. Oh, we people have lived here all year round, and we have long been accustomed to the sound of the waterfall. This is the first time for Mr. Gao to come. You arranged to go to the west wing..."

Gao Yishui waved his hands, and said, "It doesn't matter, look at the waterfall flying down at night, the night sky is bright with stars, but it has a special charm."

"Mr. Gao is really an elegant person." Gongshu Jiu still smiled, and he did not forget to take care of Abu and Cai Yan with his kind eyes. After exchanging greetings, he raised his cup, stood up and said, "Don't talk too much. Mr. Gao, Mr. Lu, and Miss Cai, today I am here to thank you for saving your lives, and please drink a few more glasses. You are welcome."

Chapter 348 Sores

When Gongshu Jiu clinked glasses with Abu, the smile on Abu's face was still a little stiff, but he reacted relatively quickly, and he only said that he was "too strong to drink", but he didn't show any flaws.

After toasting for three rounds, Gongshu finally sat down in his seat. Seeing that the three people in front of him didn't seem to pay too much attention to the rich dishes and mellow wines on the table, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up secretly in his heart while laughing Said: "I think my Gongshu has always done things aboveboard, but this time he will capsize in the gutter. The gangster yesterday is really powerful. Although it is not the first time I have seen a person who practiced spiritually, but the gangster's small willow-leaf sword It looks like a ghost, if there are no three rescuers, I'm afraid it will be really bad luck!"

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass again, and Gao Yishui and the other three also toasted with a smile. Cai Yan covered his face with his sleeve and seemed to take a small sip of the wine because he was from his daughter's family. smirk.

Before the three came to Jinzhou, Gao Yishui quickly found out about the current situation of the public losers, so he planned a "kidnapping".Abu is tall and not easy to disguise, and Gao Yishui needs to directly gain the trust of Gong Shujiu, and pretends to follow "clues and horses" all the way to find the "hiding place" of the gangsters, so the one who acts as the kidnapper, on the contrary, has no cultivation and is the most tall Petite Cai Yan.

And Gongshu didn't know whether he was too confident, or Jinzhou had always been too peaceful, and the guards with him when he went out didn't have a practitioner. Naturally, he was ravaged by Gao Yishui's willow-leaf sword.
