Asking hexagram 20 taels

(57)

"What's the matter?" Yuan Xiao set up a stove in the tent, and an iron pot was placed on the stove. A few pieces of ice were bubbling in the iron pot, and the pot was burning with a booming sound.The ice gradually melted into water, and Yuan Xiao sat beside Tang Yuan, who was warming himself by the fire, with a jug in his hand, "Your complexion is not very good."

"Is it so obvious?" Tang Yuan gave way to Yuan Xiao, hugging his clothes and curled up beside him, "I thought I covered it up well."

"It's pretty good." Yuan Xiao reached out for an iron hook, pulled the charcoal fire to make it burn hotter, pulled Tang Yuan in front of him and wrapped him in his cloak, "You've been like this since you were a child." , You can hide it from others but you can’t hide it from me. ——This wine is cold when you bring it over, wait for the water to boil and scald it before drinking it.”

Tang Yuan poked his head out of the cloak with difficulty, looked at the half-thawed ice and said, "Okay, I'll drink half of it."

"No, you don't drink well, just take a couple of sips." Yuan Xiao pushed his dishonest head back, weighed the jug, and wondered if the half of it would make people drunk, "Speak, wait until you finish speaking The water of the story should be boiled."

"...Chengqian sword is broken." Tang Yuan was silent for a while, and said a word through his coat.His voice was muffled, sounding like he felt sorry for Cheng Qianjian.

The charcoal fire made a "peeling" sound in silence, and Yuan Xiao's voice came from above his head: "Wang Chengqian came to Gubei City with you?"

"Yeah, his father's death has nothing to do with Zhao En. He came here to settle his karma. This can be regarded as revenge for his father."

"He and Zhao En should be on the same level, how could they break a thousand swords?" Yuan Xiao asked.

"The red silk saber was also broken. Do you remember the man in black you met that day? Zhao En was accompanied by a tall man named Tie Keyi. I suspect he was the same as the man in black."

"how?"

Tang Yuan struggled out of the cloak and looked at Yuan Xiao seriously, "They all used medicine. Master said it was Shihuang's alchemy water, which can turn ordinary people into Shihuang's secret army. And I think Zhao En must It's also related to that medicine. After Tie Keyi was killed by Wang Chengqian, Zhao En's kung fu improved a lot, not because of the subtlety of his moves, but because of his strength." He nodded affirmatively again, "Yes, it's because of his strength. Quite a few!"

Yuan Xiao also realized what the problem was: "Did Zhao En absorb Tie Keyi's skills? Star-absorbing Dafa?"

"No, it's not the star-absorbing method. The star-absorbing method is to absorb other people's skills, which is a matter of harming yin and virtue, so once you use the star-absorbing method, it is easy to be backlashed. Zhao En seems to be different from the star-absorbing method. He will soon be able to Using Tie Keyi's skills proficiently, it seems that Tie Keyi offered his skills to him." Tang Yuan recalled Zhao En's performance and Taoist Tianji's statement before, and speculated, "There is a problem with the alchemy water, probably as long as Drinking that water is equivalent to boosting one's skill by a large amount, but after death, one must return one's skill to the owner of the alchemy water as a mortgage fee."

"That should be the problem of alchemy water. No wonder there is no one from the top to the bottom who doesn't want blessings and misfortunes. This kind of effect, no one is not tempted to talk about it."

"That's right," Tang Yuan leaned back into Yuan Xiao's arms again, "That blessing and misfortune came from me."

Yuan Xiao adjusted his posture, wrapped Tang Yuan tightly in a cloak, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"Hey, don't move." Tang Yuan rubbed his head out, "——I never do things that I regret. Although the blessings and misfortunes are good, they are foreign things after all. I don't know what price I have to pay."

"Yeah, what's the price to pay?"

"Then I have to ask Zhao En. —Is the water boiling?"

"It's almost there," Yuan Xiao turned up the fire again, the ice cubes melted quickly in the pot, and the last piece slipped into the water with a "crash", and white steam rose from the pot.

"You have to be careful." Tang Yuan looked at the dancing flames for a while, and said something nonsensical.

"Yeah." Yuan Xiao knew what he was going to say, and took over the words himself, "The city defense has been arranged, and the Dawan Army can survive for another three to five days. Zhao En has another battle with Wang Chengqian. He's losing his temper. Whoever loses his temper first loses this war."

"But……"

"Yeah, I know," Yuan Xiao patted his head, "Isn't it alchemy water? Then there's no other way, let's see what happens. I can't make an alchemy water too. It's okay, Zhao En There should not be so much alchemy water."

"Even if he only has one copy, it's enough to cause Gubei City a headache. Didn't you see that after drinking the alchemy water, Tie Keyi is really like a lump of iron, invulnerable, if it weren't for Cheng Qianjian Divine soldier, maybe Wang Chengqian will die directly at the hands of Tie Keyi."

"That's right." Yuan Xiao replied while putting the jug into the tumbling water, "Before you came, I was gathering people to think of a way to restrain those who drank the alchemy water."

"Have you figured it out yet?"

Yuan Xiao spread his hands and said, "I figured it out. ——It turned out that I was the one to deal with it. Now in the entire Gubei City defenders, I am the only one who has the confidence to confront those people head-on."

"But you are lame." Tang Yuan was merciless, "And there is Zhao En, the more people who die in your hands, the stronger Zhao En will be, and in the end it may be that Zhao En will grow up to our The two of them joined forces and couldn't suppress it."

"It is indeed possible." Yuan Xiao stood up and fished out the wine pot, poured a small cup into Tang Yuan's hand, "—drink slowly, only this cup is allowed."

"Too little?" Tang Yuan took the wine glass and looked at the liquid that barely covered the bottom of the glass, looked up at Yuan Xiao pitifully, "Let's have more."

Yuan Xiao was so familiar with this look, so familiar that before he could react, he hid the jug behind his back: "No, you will lose your temper if you drink too much."

"That's all because of you." Tang Yuan rolled his eyes at him, held the wine glass in both hands with preciousness, and stuck out his tongue to lick a sip, "Tsk, the old man really has a lot of good wine in his possession."

No matter how much Tang Yuan treasured it, a small glass of wine is a small glass of wine, and after two sips it would be empty. He moved to Yuan Xiao's side and called out flatteringly, "Yuan Xiao."

How could Yuan Xiao not know what his intentions were with this appearance, so he suppressed a smile and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Give me another drink."

"No, you..."

"If you drink too much, you will lose your temper." Tang Yuan took his words, "You always say this. You don't give this glass of wine for free. As long as you give me another glass, I can give you a way to trap those people. Idea. Use formations..."

Before Tang Yuan could finish speaking, Yuan Xiao's complexion suddenly darkened, and he said firmly, "No way. I want to use your Jiugong Bagua Formation again? I will definitely not agree this time."

"I don't need such a powerful one. Last time I borrowed the power of heaven and earth. I was punished by heaven. I won't do it this time. I just need a small ecstasy formation to let them get lost in it."

Yuan Xiao's face gradually eased, but he still didn't let go: "You practice divination, you should know how to meddle in wars casually, and influence the lives and deaths of thousands of people, whether it is wish power or karma, you must To bear a lot, especially the battle of guarding the border gates, is the power of two countries, how can you bear it alone?"

Tang Yuan stood up to look at Yuan Xiao, stretched out his fingers to pinch his face, and said, "But it's not someone else I'm helping. The patriarch's book said that divination is for the benefit of the world. I I can't take care of the people of the world, and I can't take care of the Central Plains, so it's always fine to take care of you and Yuan's army."

"I will discuss this matter later, I will discuss it with the lieutenant and the others, and I will consider your suggestion under the condition of ensuring safety." Yuan Xiao picked up the jug and poured some more wine into Tang Yuan's glass.

Tang Yuan's eyes lit up a lot as if he had found a treasure, and he leaned on the edge of the wine glass and took a deep breath: "Okay. This wine is really fragrant. I must ask the old man where I bought it later. When the time comes, I will buy it." Come back and let's drink together."

Yuan Xiao sat at the side, with the fire shining on his face, looking at Tang Yuan's face seriously, the flames danced in his eyes, including Tang Yuan's face and smile.He responded, with a smile in his voice: "Okay."

The snow in Gubei City was a foot thick, and it was only possible to get warm next to the brazier, but the Peach Blossom Valley is still full of spring-like scenery. The peach blossoms of this season have just withered, and the pink petals fell under the roots of the trees, nourishing it with the soil. A season of peach blossoms.

On this day, Shen Duan was still selecting medicinal materials in Peach Blossom Valley to be sent to Luoyang Peach Blossom Valley, but unexpectedly welcomed a guest.Two to be exact, one alive and one unknown.

"Senior Bi Hai," Shen Duan came out of the house to greet him, and bowed to the old man Bi Hai with the disciple ceremony. "What's the matter?"

Bi Hai didn't care about the politeness, and immediately helped him up: "There's no need to salute, just take a look at him."

Bi Hai lifted the hood covering the face of the person behind him, and Shen Duan took a deep breath when he saw the person: "Senior, this is... Wang Chengqian?"

"Yes." Bihai old man nodded.

It's no wonder that Shen Duan couldn't recognize him, Wang Chengqian wouldn't dare to recognize him even if the old owner of Bafeng Villa was alive again.His beard and hair were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles, as if his vitality had been forcibly sucked away by something.

"Is he...has gone mad?"

"It's a long story. He fought against that foreign boy in Gubei City. After he woke up, he knew that Cheng Qianjian was broken to protect him. He forcibly awakened Cheng Qianjian. After going crazy, he became like this, and I have been in a coma for many days. I have no choice but to find Peach Blossom Valley."

Shen Duan took Wang Chengqian off the back of the old man Bihai: "Don't worry, senior, even if it's for the entrustment of Old Man Wang, I will try my best to treat Wang Chengqian."

"Then it's all up to you."
