Dream Hua Embers Records

The door opens.A pair of cloud pattern sandals stepped silently, on top of which was a dark yellow skirt, and on top of that was a brown dress of light purple gauze.There was no wind in the hall, and the man's footsteps were not fast, but the purple gauze was swaying as if it was filled with aura.

A pair of slender hands, holding on to a pair of ivory court slips, with a dignified and peaceful face, she is actually a female Taoist priest with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, and a beautiful face.

"Poverty Taoist Xu Ruyi, I'm being polite here." The female Taoist shook her head slightly, her wonderful eyes stared straight at Zhu'er, and there was a slight pity on her face.

"This must be the lady of your mansion who suffers from dwarfism and needs to be treated?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed. The word "dwarf" was a taboo in Yong'an County Prince's Mansion, because no one dared to say it out of fear of offending the eldest lady.

But this Daoist Xu didn't seem to care, he just looked around the crowd, and everything he saw seemed to contain mana, instantly calming down everyone's emotions.

"I can heal, but it needs to be secluded in a quiet courtyard. Miss and I can do it alone, and no one should disturb us."

After hearing this, the princess frowned, a little confused.I have invited many Taoist priests to do it before, and used a lot of magic tools, such as incense tables, wooden swords, flags, glutinous rice... There are all kinds of things, but no one asks to avoid everyone... Thinking of this, the princess couldn't help but look at her daughter , but saw Zhu'er tilting her head, with an indifferent mischievous smile on her face, as if she was eager to try because she saw an interesting game.

The concubine couldn't help but shook her head and smiled wryly: Forget it, she's a Taoist nun after all, so nothing should happen.

Fragrance floats.

In the courtyard, wintersweet is just blooming, and the shadows of the trees are whirling, quiet and peaceful.

That Daoist Xu stared at Zhu'er, as if he wanted to see through her real body under her flashy appearance, Zhu'er was a little apprehensive.

"What? What's wrong with me?"

"...This outfit is not good."

Zhu'er looked down at the skirt, the brocade was embroidered with the four seasons such as spring flags, lantern balls, Jingdu, Aihu, and cloud moon, as well as the four seasons flowers such as peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, lotus flowers, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms. The most fashionable "one year scene".Suddenly, Zhuer suddenly understood the desolation of the prosperity and desolation contained in the three words "one year scene", and frowned involuntarily.

Looking up, she saw Daoist Xu staring at the hem of her skirt, shyly shrunk her feet to the bottom of the skirt.All the women in the clan had their feet bound, but because Zhu'er was too small, the princess was afraid that his feet would not grow taller after being bound, so she didn't bind them all the time.

"The headgear is too, it's not good..."

Zhu'er touched her temples suspiciously again, because she was living at home and only wore a simple fringed bun, and because the emperor had ordered the year before last that no pearls and emeralds were forbidden for princesses and women below the order, so she wore headdresses of various colors. of glass.

"Liuli?" Zhu'er murmured.

"Yes, Liu, Li..."

Zhu'er was originally disturbed by Taoist Xu's inscrutable tone, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but chuckle: "This is too far-fetched, these are the most popular attires this year. There are everywhere in the market, why is it unlucky?"

"It's just that everyone in Daliang City takes it, so it's unlucky."

"Hmph! It's all those high-ranking officials and scholars who have nothing to do all day long. When they see a fresh and interesting outfit, they say it's a 'clothes demon'. Just don't care about these things. It's right to have the ability to make the country rich and the army strong! Women wear What kind of clothes and what kind of jewelry can we wear to subjugate the country? If so, we can just take these silks and jewelry to the source country of the Northern Dynasty to sell, and then we can defeat the enemy without fighting!"

Daoist Xu chuckled and shook his head: "The overall situation has been decided, it's useless to talk more..."

Zhu'er was puzzled, and wanted to argue again, but Daoist Xu cut her off: "You have to heal yourself for this disease, I can only show you a clear way, whether you can grow taller depends on your own wishes." force."

"What's the way?"

"kill!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a thunder in the sky.

Zhu'er was startled in her heart, she looked up, but saw that the clouds were light, the sky was clear, and the sun was bright, but she didn't know why, there was thunder on a sunny day in winter.

"Kill?" Pearl repeated blankly.

"Yes! To kill, to kill 36 [-] people."

"Impossible!" Zhu'er laughed, "How could I kill someone?"

"Why is it impossible?"

"I'm a good person, and I don't even want to hurt ants and moths."

"Don't good people kill people?"

Zhu'er tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "Yes, good people will kill evil people and do justice for the heavens."

"Good people sometimes kill good people."

"When?" Pearl was surprised.

"When a good man can't live, he can't die." Daoist Xu paused every word.

"When was that?" Pearl bit her lip, perplexed.Growing up in a deep courtyard with high walls, she racked her brains and couldn't think of any circumstances under which she "can't live or die".

"The heart is already desperate, and the body is suffering all kinds of pain, but he can't die. At that time, if someone can help him to die, it will be a supreme merit."

Pearl shook her head: "I don't understand..."

"You don't need to understand, just listen to me."

As Taoist Xu said, he took out a ball from his pocket and held it in his hand.The ball was shiny light yellow, it looked heavy, Zhu'er saw that it was made of bones, very similar to the balls used for chuiwan, but slightly bigger than common ones.

Pearl looked at it, feeling a little surprised.Usually, the balls used for making chuiwan are nothing more than wood, bone, ivory and other materials. Generally speaking, bone balls are smaller. On the one hand, because bone is slightly heavier than ivory, and much heavier than wood, It should not be too large; on the other hand, even if it is an elephant's leg bone, the thickness of the bone wall is limited, and it is impossible to carve a ball that is too large.But this ball was even bigger than the biggest bone chuiwan I had ever seen.

The Hunyuan ball is exquisite, and there is a circle of dark engraved notches around the waist.I saw that Daoist Xu flicked his fingernails on the circle of notches, and out of the ball came out a sharp and sharp blade.It looked like a dagger with a ball as the handle.

Xu Daozhang held the ball in his palm, let the sharp blade pass through between his middle finger and index finger, and swung it twice.

"Try." Daoist Xu said, pulling the trigger, retracting the blade, and handing the ball to Zhu'er.

Zhu'er was a little scared, but also a little curious, so she took it hesitantly, imitating Xu Daochang's example and moved the mechanism a few times, feeling that the structure of this thing is extremely ingenious, the spring is exquisite and powerful, the patterns are exquisitely carved, and the blade retracts. It fit perfectly when entering, and outsiders would never have dreamed that there could be a sharp knife hidden in this bone ball if no one pointed it out.

Zhu Er is a member of the close royal family, the daughter of the royal family, and a curious and playful nature. She has tried countless tricks and tricks since she was a child, but she has never seen such a thing before, and her eyes lit up. .

"For me?"

"Correct."

"Use it... to kill people?"

"Correct."

Zhu'er shook her head: "This thing is exquisite and fun, and it's good for self-defense, but I definitely won't use it to kill people!" Normally, Zhu'er would never have any thoughts of self-defense, but in the last half month, the army of Yuan Country came to the city Although most people thought that this siege would be the same as last year's siege, there was no danger, but after all, they were worried, and the word "self-defense" blurted out involuntarily.

"Who can predict what will happen in the future..." Daoist Xu shook his head, and his face was full of compassion for breaking the world.

"I won't kill anyone!" Zhu'er nodded solemnly, as if admonishing herself.After speaking, he carefully stuffed the ball into his purse.The light-yellow brocade purse was bulging, making the embroidered flowers and full moon pattern on the purse more full and vivid.

"Here..." Xu Daochang's slender fingers pointed to the side of Zhu'er's neck, "After the cut, blood spurted out, and the person died immediately without pain."

"Here..." Daoist Xu pointed to Zhu'er's left chest, "Go, it's the heart."

"Here..." Daoist Xu pointed to Zhu'er's chest.

Startled, Pearl jumped back half a step.

"Splitting the base of the thighs has the same effect as the neck." Xu Daochang smiled slightly and withdrew his hands.

Zhu'er settled down a bit, but she saw Xu Daozhang pointed to Zhu'er's forehead, and took off a piece of gold foil flower sticking between her eyebrows, revealing a bright red cinnabar mole the size of a sesame seed covered inside.

"Your sky eye is already open, don't cover it, it's what you rely on to survive."

Zhu'er didn't understand, she blinked her eyes in confusion, and looked up at Taoist Xu.

"Within five years, if you kill six or six or thirty-six people, you will be able to grow up, remember!"

As soon as the words fell, there was another thunderclap. Zhu'er was caught off guard and trembled with fright.Looking up, I saw dark clouds in the northwest direction, and behind the clouds, there was a faint light of fire.Looking back to the southeast again, I saw that the sun was shrouded in a halo of five colors, red and red, but without any brilliance.

The author has something to say: Looking back at the beginning, I wanted to write the Boliang style, but later I thought about such a long Boliang style, which is full of flat rhymes without changing the rhyme. I guess the gods can’t write it, so forget it
