Asking hexagram 20 taels

(six)

"Coo-coo--" A white pigeon landed on the tip of the tent of the military camp, its bright red claws grabbed the top piece of cloth of the tent, and its dark eyes rolled around, darting to see which place below It is better to stand.

Suddenly, as if it saw someone, it fluttered its wings and flew down, and landed on the shoulder of the largest official standing outside——Lieutenant Yuan Jiajun.

"Ouch, what is this?" A bird suddenly fell from his shoulder, which really startled the captain, and his body turned slightly, causing the white pigeon to panic.

The white pigeon flapped its wings, stabilized itself, and pecked the captain's shoulder hard, then proudly puffed out its chest, the words "you don't know me yet" were about to be written on the bird's face.

The captain looked at the white pigeon intently, his face turned bitter, and ran to the main tent holding the pigeon like holding his ancestors: "General! General! Your pigeon is here again."

I still muttered in my heart, it really deserves to be a bird raised by the son of the Tang family, this thing looks like the main character, look at this style, it really looks like it.

"Quick, quick, your carrier pigeon."

Yuan Xiao was practicing against the sand table in the big camp. He was basically an idler when it wasn't during the war, and he really had nothing else to do except to train with the remaining remnants of Yuan's army.

Yuan Jiajun, to put it nicely, sounds like a private soldier of the Yuan family.But now they have been transferred by the court for various reasons, leaving only a few remnants.Yuan Xiao, as a general of the country, has no real name, the emperor will not sit back and watch the military power in his hands grow, and will not entrust him to do some things that show his face, so even the Yuan family army is idle, nothing important.

"Show me." Yuan Xiao took the pigeon back, untied the letter box tied to Xiaohong's foot, and took out a blank piece of paper.There was no writing on the paper, so Yuan Xiao soaked the paper with water and dried it by the candle flame.

This work is very labor-intensive, and if one is not careful, the paper will be burned by fire, but Yuan Xiao does it easily, probably because he has done too much work in the army for a long time.It turned out that when he was in Mobei, for a period of time, he only opened letters and gave orders every day, and he rarely even had time to sleep.

Under the torch of the candle, a line of words finally emerged from the paper, which clearly stated the emperor's order for Tang Yuan to return to Beijing.It's just that the papers are all in small script, and they are densely arranged, which makes people dizzy.

The emperor has always regarded the family headed by the Tang family as a thorn in his side, and wished that the descendants of the family were all playboys who ruined the family business day by day. How could he call Tang Yuan back?

"Why..." Yuan Xiao knocked on the desk with his hand, his brows were furrowed.After thinking for a long time, Ou Ta suddenly raised his head, and said to the captain: "Quickly, give the emperor a note, and say that the Mid-Autumn Festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Yuan family's army will report to Beijing!"

"Excuse me! ——But General, the Emperor has always been afraid of us, so I'm afraid he won't ask us to go back, right?"

"Yuan's army is left with only a few remnants and defeated generals. No matter how afraid he is, he will not refuse in the open. Otherwise, it will appear that he is too incompetent? Since I asked, the emperor will give some rewards for the sake of face. When the time comes, brothers Take the wine! Then mention me in the booklet, the emperor is about to move, and I'm afraid I will go back and take the blame."

Yuan Xiao taught Tang Yuan that he didn't care about his family. In fact, he himself hadn't been home for several years. If you dare to go in, the communication with Jingli depends entirely on carrier pigeons.

At the same time, some people received letters for help from afar, and some people rushed thousands of miles into Luoyang.

"Hey—candied haws—"

"Thin-skinned steamed stuffed buns——, this young man, please order two."

This is the busiest street market in Luoyang City, and there is an endless stream of business transactions.

In the best position in the middle of the market, there are flying swallows at the corners of the four square eaves, and the bluestone tiles are tightly packed like fish scales. Under the corner of the eaves, there is a bronze bell against the door of the house. Hemp rope.The door carved with pine wood is open all the year round, and when you walk in, there is a large plaque in the middle, with four big characters written on it: Miaoshou rejuvenation.

This is the well-known Peach Blossom Valley of Hands and Hearts in the world.

The main body of the Peach Blossom Valley is not in the valley. The valley is only a place where medicinal herbs are concentrated. The Peach Blossom Valley is mainly for medicine, and the main hall is quiet in the midst of the bustle. Full of ironing posts.

There are three medicine cauldrons on the south wall, and a set of medicinal materials is being boiled in them. The water vapor in the room is full of water vapor. In the water vapor, the little guys are shuttled between the medicine cabinets with their sticks to give people medicine.

"Atractylodes rhizome 2 qian, astragalus 2 qian, kudzu 5 fen, cohosh 1 qian, scutellaria baicalensis 1 qian, licorice 5 fen..." Gao Shiyu was stepping on the stool, opened the licorice cabinet, and grabbed the weight The last blindly herbs.

Suddenly he heard "Dangdangdangdang" ringing outside, Gao Shiyu's ears twitched slightly, hurriedly grabbed the medicinal materials, took out the straw paper, wrapped it up twice and handed it to the guests, saying: "Take it well, we are in charge I'm back, sorry."

When he went out to have a look, Shen Duan had dismounted from his horse sideways. He was dressed in blue cloth and had a low hat on his head. At this time, he was holding down a simple long sword from the horse's back. Yu Chang, there is not a single decoration on the body of the sword, only a word Shen is crookedly carved on the band of the sword.

"Eldest brother." Gao Shiyu came up to take the sword, and led Shen Duan into the hall.Shen Duan strode like a shooting star, passing the counter without stopping, and went straight to the backyard.

As soon as the door of the backyard was opened, a scent of grass and trees came over the surface.

Clove, Perrin, and countless herbal aromas, as if they were afraid of being left behind, they came straight to people's nostrils.

The Peach Blossom Valley is organized so that it is like spring all year round, and the temperature is also suitable. Many herbs that cannot grow elsewhere become alive here.

If someone else knows something about medicine, they will jump up here. There are many medicinal treasures here, all of which are taken care of by the disciples of Peach Blossom Valley. They are all of high quality. of.I'm afraid that even if the imperial doctor in the palace comes here, they will start to grab it.

"Shiyu, go and open the door of the Library Pavilion."

Gao Shiyu said yes, turned around and walked to the side room, where he took out a key with a strange shape.

With a "click", the lock opened.

Pushing open the door of the ear room, there is a strange hole inside.

The ear chamber is connected to the main pavilion, and it is more than twenty feet high. There is no partition inside, and it is completely empty. The eighteen-foot-high sandalwood shelf is raised from the ground, and the shelf is densely packed with books.

There is no ladder in the ear room, only a piece of wood about a few inches long is hung down from the air, and tied to the top with silk thread. The silk thread is tied right in the middle of the wood block. Horizontal, just enough for a person's foot.

If you want to read the books on the shelf, you have to be super light-hearted.

Shen Duan came into the ear room, only looked up and then fixed his gaze on the topmost book on the left hand side.

He flicked up the corner of his robe, leaned forward to lift his breath, Gao Shiyu felt his eyes blur, and when he looked at Shen Duan again, he was already in mid-air, and he saw his right foot tap the crossbar to use his strength to fly up like a sudden bird. The swallow flew straight into the sky, and finally landed lightly on the top crossbar.He actually paused for a while, pulled out a roll of bamboo slips with his fingers, turned away from the crossbar, and used a heavy pendant, only to see the corners of the robe fluttering, and Shen Duan's cloth robe was as swift as a swooping bird, showing a Coming out in a menacing manner, when he was less than half a meter away from the ground, Shen Duan's momentum was like flowing water, and he suddenly slowed down.When it landed, it was light and silent, and fell with a "snap", as light as a step forward.

Gao Shiyu looked at it, and thought to himself, he might not be able to practice this skill in another ten years.

"Shi Yu is here." Shen Duan just showed his hands but seemed ordinary, patted his robe, and sat down beside him with a letter.

Gao Shiyu followed, and saw that on the slips were three large characters - Shanhelu.

This is a local chronicle.

There are thousands of books in Zangshu Pavilion, like a vast ocean, among which there are so many orphans and fragments. Gao Yingjie was sixteen years old, and he entered Peach Blossom Valley for seven years, and he won the trust of the owner of the valley. One or two.Only good medical books and martial arts classics are enough for him to study for a lifetime, so what energy does he have to study topography?

What's more, since this local chronicle is a knotted bamboo slip, it has been counted for a long time. From the previous dynasty to the present, the Yellow River has changed its course three times.

Looking at the doubtful eyes of his younger brother, Shen Duan softened his expression slightly and explained: "This is the topography, covering thousands of miles of mountains, rivers, customs and customs from south to north, including the Central Plains area. It was compiled from the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou has finally completed a book, which can be said to be the most detailed topography. It's a pity that many places have changed over the years." He untied the book slip, spread it flat on the table, and explained it in detail. Turn around and ask, "Do you know what's going on in Jianghu now?"

Gao Shiyu was taken aback, thinking that he was about to test him, so he choked for a moment, blushing half-blushed before saying: "It was the magic sword and the three thieves who were killed, and the treasure disappeared."

"Well...then let me ask you again, do you know what this treasure is?"

"I don't know." Gao Shiyu shrank his neck, and squeezed his sleeves tightly with his hands under the table until they were wrinkled.

"It's normal that you don't know." Shen Duan pondered for a while, and asked, "People are dying day and night in the rivers and lakes, and countless disabled people cry and cry outside my Peach Blossom Valley, but most of them are turned away by my Peach Blossom Valley. In all fairness, do you think the people in the valley are hard-hearted?"

Gao Shiyu strengthened his courage, and said: "I feel that most of the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes died righteously, and they deserved their death. Those who died for enmity and enmity mostly reaped the fruits of their own. It is miserable, but it is not considered fierce. Poor people in the world will definitely die." There is something hateful. The disciples believe that Taohuagu cures diseases and saves people who can be saved. There is a folk saying, "It's hard to persuade the damned ghosts with good words." The enemy's knights in the rivers and lakes, it is better to show ordinary people more about wind and cold injuries."

"You are absolutely clear that the benevolence of a doctor should be like this."

"only--"

"Just what? It doesn't matter if you say it."

"It's just that my disciples often think that it would be great if there is a way to wipe out the pain in the simplest way. Master Diabolo of Shaolin Temple has done good deeds all his life, accumulating merits and virtues, but he was dragged down by his illness. When the monk found out the scriptures that Master Diabolo used before his death , but found in it Master Diabolo’s last wish—to borrow another life from heaven. Master Diabolo is a person who has entered the Buddhist sect. He violated the precept of greed when he had desires, but he could not realize his wishes. He is really a pitiful person. Disciple thinks, if people are born like this, is there nothing that can satisfy people's wishes?"

"Well, that's very good." Shen Duan glanced at him appreciatively, then took over the words and said, "A monk with such great merit as Master Diabolo wants to live forever, but you, a disciple of Peach Blossom Valley, want to make your wishes come true! law, let alone ordinary people.”

"Could it be..." Gao Shiyu's eyes widened, "But is it still something in the world?"

"Nature is a human thing, the most fascinating thing in the world."
