Simulation of all things: starting with copper skin and iron bones

The person who received the gift opened the wooden box, suddenly froze, and said in a low voice, "Hey, isn't this just a pebble? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a rare gem?"

The person in charge of recording stretched his head to look, curled his lips and said: "That old man looks like a poor scholar, how can he have rare gems?"

Picking up a pen and writing a line: Xiao Jiuwu, a box of pebbles.

Next it was Wei An's turn. He stepped forward and said unhurriedly: "Representative of Pan Tianzong, present a box of health-preserving pills, and wish the old patriarch good fortune and prosperity in the sky, and a house full of gold and jade."

"Oh, it turned out to be a distinguished guest of Pan Tianzong, and send greetings to Sect Master Liu on behalf of the old man." Gusu Zhongqi laughed.

"The junior must bring it." Wei An responded, handed out the red brocade box, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The mission is finally complete.

The person who received the gift opened the red brocade box, suddenly froze again, blinked and said, "Why is it empty?"

"empty?!"

Wei An hurriedly looked down, his eyes narrowed suddenly.

The red brocade box is empty!

Before departure, Wei An personally checked the contents of the brocade box. There was originally a white porcelain bottle with a sealed mouth, but at this moment, the white porcelain bottle had disappeared.

"what happened?"

Gusu Zhong Qi frowned slightly, and turned to look over.

The person receiving the gift glanced at Wei An, walked quickly to Gusu Zhongqi, and whispered something in his ear.

Gusu Zhong Qi was silent, waved his hands and said: "Accept the congratulatory gift first, and talk about it later."

"clear."

The person who received the gift understood, returned to his original position, and said loudly: "Pan Tianzong's congratulatory gift, a bottle of health-preserving pill."

The person who took the record also picked up a pen and wrote it down.

With a serious expression on his face, Wei An slowly left the hall, returned to the room in the other courtyard, looked around, and sat down.

"The white porcelain bottle was stolen..."

From Pan Tianzong all the way to Xiyang County, Wei An has been careful, never leaving the red brocade box, even when he was sleeping, he put the red brocade box under his pillow.

Moreover, he practiced the treasure gourd sleep technique at night, so he was extremely alert, and no one could easily approach him.

In other words, the white porcelain bottle was not stolen on the road.

"After I lived in Gusu Castle, someone stole the white porcelain bottle while I was not paying attention."

Wei An quickly narrowed down the scope.

"In the past two days, I basically stayed in the room. I only left the red brocade box in the room when I went out to eat."

Wei An further narrowed the scope.

What can be concluded is that the white porcelain bottle was lost during the dinner, either last night or the night before.

Wei An scanned every corner of the room.

Before he goes out, he must lock the doors and windows, and when he comes back, he will check the condition of the doors and windows.

This is his personal habit.

"I met a master, and I didn't notice any abnormalities." Wei An closed his eyes, carefully recalling every detail in his mind.

"By the way, the red ribbon!"

Wei An suddenly remembered something. Before he set off, he checked the red brocade box, and then tied the red ribbon with his own hands.

"When I was tying the knot, I deliberately exposed a section of the red ribbon, which was seven inches long."

Wei An carefully recalled the moment before, when the person receiving the gift untied the red ribbon, the length was revealed...

Also seven inches!

"Stealers, have you even noticed this detail?" Wei An couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

The young maid knocked on the door and said, "Master Zhang, the old patriarch is here to invite you."

Wei An sighed, immediately got up and went out, following the steps of the young maidservant, all the way to a study.

"Come on, please sit down."

Gusu Zhongqi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.

Wei An sat down and replied, "Old Patriarch, about the congratulatory gift..."

"Gifts are not important."

Gusu Zhong Qi waved his hand and said, "You sent the congratulatory gift on behalf of Pan Tianzong, and I accepted the congratulatory gift. That's how it is."

As he spoke, he said with emotion: "How can we know that it is not a blessing?"

Wei An pondered and said: "Although this is the case, I really can't figure it out. Why would someone steal my congratulatory gift from Pan Tianzong? Ruhua Buddha, Xu Gengdao and others in the same courtyard as me, their congratulatory gifts have not had any accidents, only me Something happened here."

Gusu Zhongqi raised his eyebrows, and said in astonishment: "Could it be that Sect Master Liu didn't tell you anything?"

Wei An's heart skipped a beat, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Please speak clearly."

Gusu Zhongqi stared into Wei An's eyes for a moment, then slowly said: "So you really don't know anything, Liu Shenfeng!!"

Wei An blinked and said hesitantly, "You mean, what did the suzerain hide from me?"

"Ugh……"

Gusu Zhong Qi sat down, motioned for Wei An to sit down as well, and sighed, "The congratulatory gift you sent me is not a health-preserving elixir, but a special imperial elixir."

"Queen?"

Wei An was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was shaken, "The pill for the old emperor?!"

Gusu Zhong Qi nodded, and said slowly: "The old emperor ordered King Liang to carry out the research on forbidden blood art, and King Liang made a fuss, and he really developed a life-prolonging elixir, so the next most important question is, How can we deliver the elixir to the hands of the old emperor."

Wei An listened quietly, a chill gradually emerged in his heart.

Gusu Zhongqi smiled wryly and said: "Prolonging life is the old emperor's wish, but in this world, there are too many people who hope that the old emperor will die soon. Once the news of the successful refining of imperial medicine is leaked, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people. Set off an endless bloodbath.

The fact is also the same, there are three imperial elixir, and Liang Wang's soldiers sent the medicine in three ways, and you are one of them. "

"According to the plan, you will send the congratulatory gift to me, and then I will secretly send the imperial medicine to the capital without anyone noticing.

Unfortunately, we failed.

The other route was personally escorted by Taibao Yan Wuxie.

According to the news I received last night, Yan Wuxie was attacked by waves of powerful enemies on the way. His royal medicine pill was destroyed, and all the escorting team were killed. Even he himself was severely injured. I heard that One eye is missing. "

Wei An took a deep breath and asked, "Where is the third road?"

Gusu Zhongqi shook his head and said: "That road is very secret, I'm afraid no one knows the whereabouts of that royal elixir except King Liang and a few others."

Wei An was speechless for a long time.

Never expected that Liu Shenfeng would arrange for him to do such a dangerous task without telling him anything.

"I failed, what are the consequences?" Wei An couldn't help asking.

Gusu Zhongqi spread his hands and said, "If any of the three royal elixirs are successfully delivered to the old emperor, then not only are you and I not at fault, but we also have merit.

But on the contrary, when the old emperor is furious, I will be punished, and you will probably commit suicide to apologize. "

"Suicide?!"

The corners of Wei An's eyes twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly: "I have worked so hard to come here. I thought I was here to celebrate your birthday, but I didn't expect that I came here to die for myself."

162 Humans are superficial creatures!

Gusu Zhongqi heard the words and sighed: "You and I are other people's chess pieces. When they are useful, they will be placed on the chessboard, and when they are useless, they will be removed."

Wei An cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Thank you senior for telling me the inside story, otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I died."

Gusu Zhongqi shook his head and said, "It's nothing, you and I are just in the same boat. Anyway, the mission has failed, and you will know the inside story sooner or later."

Wei An was silent, and said slowly: "This junior may not live long, but I still want to ask you a question about cultivation."

"Practice? Do you still have the mind to practice?"

Gusu Zhong Qi couldn't help laughing, and became interested, "Okay, okay, you can ask, the old man knows everything."

Wei An said seriously: "What this junior wants to ask is, the specific method of spiritual cultivation?"

Gusu Zhongqi's face changed, and he asked in surprise, "Why, do you want to practice spiritually?"

Wei An said: "I am a master of calligraphy now, so I should meet the entry requirements for spiritual cultivation."

"That said."

Gusu Zhongqi pointed to his head, "Spiritual practice is not only extremely difficult, but also full of unpredictable dangers. If you are not careful, you may go crazy or even brain dead."

Wei An spread his hands and said, "But hasn't the Gusu clan been practicing spiritual cultivation for a long time? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Gusu Zhongqi waved his hand and said, "Of course we are also afraid of danger, but do you know what the key to spiritual cultivation is?

In a word, if you are not crazy, you cannot survive!

It must be known that anyone who practices spiritual cultivation must have the courage and determination to become a demon!

Among those masters of calligraphy, masters of painting, and masters of piano skills, which one doesn't look like a lunatic?They wandered on the edge of madness, and frantically explored on the boundary of obsession.

Only in this way can the spirit be transformed!

As for you, you have already practiced martial arts, and you must do your best to get rid of the demons in your heart, and you must not become demons. "

He spread his hands and said, "You and we are taking two completely opposite paths, and it is impossible to have both."

Hearing this, Wei An's expression changed, and he cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I wonder if you have a secret book on spiritual cultivation, can you sell a copy to this junior? Junior, I still want to give it a try!"

After hearing this, what else could Gusu Zhongqi say? He waved his hand and said, "There is no need to sell it. The secret method of spiritual cultivation is actually not a secret. On the contrary, we hope that it can be popularized and let countless people practice it. good."

He stood up, took out a yellow book from the bookshelf, handed it to Wei An, and introduced: "This "Longyuan Tibetan" is a mystical refining method summed up and condensed by the ancestors of the Gusu family. You can take it and read it. Look, but I really don't recommend you try to practice."

Wei An accepted it, and said happily, "Thank you, senior."

After a while, he came out of the study, holding the "Longyuan Zang" in his hand, and walked briskly back to the other courtyard.

"Friend, where did you go?"

Beside the water in the fountain, a thin old man lay lazily on a recline, basking in the sun, looking very comfortable.

Wei An looked at Xiao Jiuwu, walked over, and said calmly: "Xiao Jiuwu, isn't there a running water table today? Why didn't you go to eat?"

"You think I'm a pig!"

Xiao Jiuwu stroked his belly, smacked his lips, picked his teeth and said, "I've been eating all morning, take a rest, and eat in the afternoon."

Wei An understood, pointed to the pendant on the skinny old man's neck, and asked, "What is that?"

"You said this?"

Xiao Jiuwu picked up the pendant and shook it. It was just a wooden sign with four characters engraved on it.

Ninety-six;

five nine;

Xiao Jiuwu introduced himself: "When I was young, I grew up with a girl, and this was a gift from her. My name is Jiuwu, and my favorite thing to do is Liujiu, hehehe, young People, do you know what is the six-nine style?"

Wei An stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see."

Xiao Jiuwu took it off, handed it to Wei An, and said, "It's just a wooden sign, you don't think it's a treasure, do you?"

Wei An looked at it for a while, and found that the texture of the wooden sign had been eroded by the years, and it was suspected to be an old object hundreds of years ago.

He gave it back to Xiao Jiuwu, and said seriously: "It's been a while, you must like that girl very much."

Xiao Jiuwu was stunned for a moment, then pouted and said, "What do you like or not, you know nothing."
