Master Luo Cao

The two of them tossed back and forth for two or three hours. After the cleaning, Fu Yunshu couldn't hold it anymore, so he buried his head in Kou Luocha's arms and fell into a deep sleep.It was not night yet, and Kou Luoche was not sleepy, but Fu Yunshu was sleeping with his pillow on his head, so he just lay there motionless, trying to get out the book to pass the time, and when he touched it, it was really on the bedside I felt for a copy on the cabinet, and when I got it in front of my eyes, it turned out to be the "Penglai Zhi" written by myself.

When he wrote the second volume of "Penglai Chronicles", his family was ruined, and he came to Jiangbei alone. When he first met his adoptive father, he looked at the smoky bandit den with contempt and disdain, and turned a blind eye to the kindness of the people around him. I just feel that I am that white lotus in the silt, with clear ripples but not demons, very different from those crooked melons and dates beside me. When I have nothing to do at night, I light up the lamp and write quickly, spilling all the bitterness on the paper , Use words to pour out your suffering and resentment.One day, the adoptive father came suddenly, and he didn't have time to hide the "Penglai Chronicles", so he could only watch him pick up the book and read it, crying in his heart, thinking that this big bandit would definitely hang himself up and thrash After reading it two or three times, unexpectedly, the adoptive father grinned and said, "The writing is not bad, I don't see that you are still a material for the top pick." Then he rubbed his head, turned around and left, leaving him in a daze.

Time passed so long that he had even forgotten what was written inside.

Kou Luoche opened the book, and glanced away, only to feel that it was full of artificiality and deepness, after a few glances, he felt that his eyes were very hot, so he quickly closed the book and threw it aside.Looking at the little county magistrate sleeping soundly in his arms, he thought it was incredible that he could watch it.

Just looking at it, I can't take my eyes off it.

A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peaches and plums, ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes.Thirteen years of spring and autumn cycle, so long, but it seems only a moment.

Only for a moment when he bowed his head and stared.

Kou Luoche lowered his head slowly, kissed the corner of Fu Yunshu's mouth, smashed his mouth, tasted a bit of sweetness, and felt good, when he was about to taste a few more, suddenly there were several knocks on the door , very lightly, very carefully, as if the people outside the house know that they can't be disturbed inside now, but they have to disturb them, so they bite the bullet and whisper softly: "Zhaizhu, Zhaizhu, did you hear that?"

Kou Luoche covered Fu Yunshu's ears and said, "I heard, what's the matter?"

The person outside the house said: "According to your order, Mr. Wang has been invited here."

Before Kou Luoche could answer, Fu Yunshu, who had been sleeping, suddenly jumped up, "Understood, we're coming!"

Kou Luoche asked with a smile: "Are you asleep or not?"

"Sleeping," Fu Yunshu got out of bed with his waist and bare feet, picked up the "Penglai Chronicle" that Kou Luoqiao had thrown on the ground before, dusted it carefully, and put it back on the bedside table, "Woke up again. "

Kou Luoche knelt down on one knee, carefully put on socks and soap boots for Fu Yunshu, then pinched his blushing face, "Then let's go."

The two went down the mountain again, the carriage was ready, and the bandit driving the carriage looked at them with a playful smile and said, "Master, why don't you take your time this time?"

Kou Luoche flew over with a sharp eye, "The sooner the better."

When he came to the mass grave again, several people had already gathered at the foot of the mountain. Kou Luoche's eyes immediately fell on the cowardly Wang Carpenter who was surrounded in the center, with a polite and friendly smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Wang Sir, long time no see, are you all right?"

Carpenter Wang returned the gift tremblingly, "Thank you for your concern, the village master. I'm in good health. Is the village master well?"

"Don't pretend to be polite," Qing Yanzi who was standing by the side suddenly said coldly, "It's important to do business." Then he turned to Carpenter Wang and said, "Mr. Wang, today our village took a lot of trouble to invite you from the state , it’s not really for drinking, but there’s a serious business to do, and if it’s done well, the food and drink can’t be done without you...huh.” After finishing speaking, he furiously turned towards the mass grave mouth, signaled Carpenter Wang to follow, and then raised his legs and walked up the mountain.

Carpenter Wang was so frightened that his calves trembled, but he dared not refuse. He looked at Kou Luoche pitifully, and had to follow Qing Yanzi to the mass grave.

Looking at the back of Qingyanzi exuding a strong evil spirit, Kou Luoche moved closer to Pigeon Hu and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with him? Has he been lowered?"

"What?" Gehu also whispered: "Isn't the whole city under martial law in the state capital? In order to get Carpenter Wang out, we stuffed a lot of money with the head guarding the city gate, and none of us brought it with us." For money, there is a bank note hidden on Qing Yanzi's body, you know he picks it like that, this time it hurts him so much."

Kou Luoche expected that it would not be too difficult to get someone out of the state capital, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. He was a little surprised and said: "It's just a little money?"

Gehu nodded, "Why don't we just put some money in?"

With a sneer, Kou Luoche said: "It's so rotten, I'll just watch the day when the Jin Yunlong Building collapsed."

Qing Yanzi's voice came faintly from above, "Don't think about the future, let's break this barrier first."

Seeing the scene of Kou Luochao and Fu Yunshu walking up hand in hand, Qing Yanzi narrowed his eyes in disgust as if peppers were fascinated by it, while Wang Carpenter on the other side was already staring at the stone tablet, dumbfounded .

Kou Luoche looked at Qingyanzi questioningly, but Qingyanzi shook his head to express that he didn't know, so Kou Luoche walked up to Carpenter Wang and patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. Wang?"

Carpenter Wang trembled from being photographed, as if returning to his soul instantly, he shook his head several times, turned his head, his expression was both surprised and excited, "Village... village... village owner!"

"Why?" Kou Luoche asked: "Mr. Wang recognizes the meaning engraved on this stone tablet?"

Carpenter Wang said: "Since the village owner thought of bringing me here, he must have already guessed what is engraved on this stone tablet."

Fu Yunshu said: "We rubbed the mural engraved on this stone tablet, and found that several strokes are connected, which happens to be the shape of an axe."

"That's right!" Carpenter Wang puffed up his chest, and the previous cowardice dissipated. He said proudly: "This is the symbol of our Lubanmen!"

Kou Luoche said: "Then you really invited the right person, Mr. Wang, there is something very important to me hidden under here, I wonder if you have a way to crack this mechanism?"

Carpenter Wang pondered for a moment, and said: "If my guess is right, this mechanism is called the Ruyi Hexin Nine-turn Chain Buckle. Even in my Luban door, it is extremely exquisite and unique. There are nine locks in total. If you don't know how to open it The method, if you turn one lock at will, it will disrupt the other locks, and there are more than a thousand variables in it? If you want to crack it, there are only two ways, the first is to ask the key to unlock it from the producer..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Yunshu asked eagerly: "Mr. Wang, you are also a member of the Luban sect, can you contact this senior who created this Ruyi Hexin nine-turn chain lock?"

Carpenter Wang shook his head and said, "I can't." He sighed, and said, "I'm just an outer disciple, and only inner disciples can pass on such a delicate mechanism, and among the inner disciples I know, there is only one who died ten years ago. My uncle for several years..."

"I remember hearing you mention your inner sect uncle before?" Kou Luoche suddenly said, "You said that he died because of his involvement in the rebellion case of King An 13 years ago?"

"Exactly." Carpenter Wang sighed, "Therefore, the first method is absolutely impossible to realize."

Fu Yunshu asked: "What about the second method?"

Carpenter Wang said: "The second method is to let the person hiding in the dark room of the mechanism open the mechanism on his own initiative."

"How is this possible?!" Fu Yunshu exclaimed in shock.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, there was the sound of a machine running under the stele, and then the lonely tomb in front of everyone slowly moved to the two sides. Zhao Ciji stepped out of the tomb with a pale face and scarlet eyes. After staying in the tomb for a long time, the whole person seemed to have become a corpse, exuding a strong sense of death, and staring at the stunned Wang Carpenter with his lifeless eyes.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Who did you say died?"

Before Wang Carpenter could react, Zhao Ciji pounced on him like a tiger, strangled him fiercely by the neck, and the two of them fell to the ground together. He yelled, "Who are you saying is dead?!"

"Zhao Ciji!" Kou Luoche yelled, and the bandits waiting on both sides rushed up immediately, grabbed Zhao Ciji's arm, and pulled him up forcefully.Zhao Ciji was still struggling with his hands bound, as if he was insane, "You're talking nonsense! She's not dead! She can't be dead!"

Kou Luoche walked in front of him, and punched Zhao Ciji hard in the face, knocking his whole body to one side, bleeding from his nose.Kou Luoche said coldly: "Xue Zheng, look at your current appearance!"

Xue Zheng's slack eyes seemed to wake up a bit, he swallowed the blood in his throat with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice, "She's not dead."

"Her?" Fu Yunshu asked, "Who is she?"

Carpenter Wang, who was thrown to the ground earlier, was holding his neck and coughing. Hearing his words, he was taken aback suddenly, raised his finger tremblingly, pointed at Xue Zheng and said in disbelief, "It's...could it be...my uncle's husband?" Could it be you?!"

"Your uncle's husband?" Kou Luoche frowned in surprise, "Mr. Wang, excuse me to ask, is uncle Ling a man or a woman?"

Carpenter Wang said: "Although my uncle is a disciple of the Luban sect, he is an out-and-out daughter. I have met her a few times. The last time I contacted her, she sent someone to send a letter, saying that she was involved in the court. Big case, fear of accidents, it is inevitable that many of Lubanmen's unique knowledge will be lost, so she decided to abandon the distinction between inner and outer schools, write down all her learning on paper, and pass it on to me, and ordered me to leave for the capital as soon as I read the letter. They were all buried under a willow tree beside the moat. I dared not disobey my orders. After receiving the letter, I traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the capital. The area around the moat was turned into a piece of scorched earth due to the turmoil of the war. Let alone a willow tree, I didn’t even have a leaf. I haven't seen it...Since then, there has been no news of my uncle."

Xue Zheng closed his eyes and repeated stubbornly: "She is not dead."

Kou Luoche glanced thoughtfully at the grave that was divided into two halves, and said, "Xue Zheng, do you still remember how we escaped from the capital?"

At that time, the entire capital was under martial law. Although no one was allowed to enter or leave the capital, the interrogation was quite strict.

"Why don't you remember?" The cold voice was squeezed out of Xue Zheng's throat, "This is the idea that Azhao gave me. She said that she would go to Jiuhe County to arrange follow-up matters, and she would ask someone to find it for me. If there is a corpse, I will pretend to be a mourner, wear sackcloth and filial piety, escape from the capital, and go to Jiangbei to join her after confirming that she is safe."

"I asked you a question at that time, now, do you have an answer?" Kou Luoche said.

What he asked at the time was, who was lying in the coffin?

But Xue Zheng didn't answer him.

Kou Luoche said: "You actually knew it a long time ago, you just don't want to admit it."

Xue Zheng's knees softened, and he fell to his knees. A big man with strong bones was kneeling on the ground and crying loudly.
