Change into Xiao Qiang (1)
Liang Xiao's mood changed, and he thought: "I can't figure out the secrets of heaven, and staying here will only cause ridicule." He started to think about leaving, but then thought again: "Xiao Shuang has a good heart, and he may have been afraid of disturbing my study these years. If you don't come to see me, I don't know what's going on with her strange illness. I don't know when I can see her when I go, but I won't see anyone else. She and Uncle Hua must say hello." He said. Mei Ying inquired and found out that Hua Xiaoshuang lived in the "Youchan Garden" in the south. He has been studying arithmetic for a long time, and his temperament is much more serious. He is no longer as frivolous as he was when he was young. Thinking that Hua Xiaoshuang is so clean, he took a bath specially, changed into clean clothes, and then inserted the sword diagonally into his waist. , watch the flowers and willows, and search all the way.
After a while, I found outside the "Secret Zen Garden" and saw a white marble tablet erected in front of the door, with two lines of wild cursive engraved on it: "The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the Zen room is deep with flowers and trees." The words are dragons, pans, and phoenixes, elegant and extraordinary. Looking at the signature, it seems that he was born in despair. Liang Xiao felt comfortable looking at it, and couldn't help but think: "This character is written in a free and easy way, and his name is Kuangsheng. He must be a very free and unrestrained person. I wonder if he is still alive? If I have the chance, I really want to get to know him." "
Tianji Palace is built on the mountain, and there are ancient trees and beautiful rocks everywhere. This quiet Zen garden is particularly beautiful. The trees and stones in the garden are majestic and majestic, and the colorful stone path in the forest turns every three steps and turns every ten steps. When Liang Xiao walked away for a while, he saw a small building on the corner. He was getting closer and he could see the four regular characters "Listen to the rain and listen to the wind" on the plaque. He couldn't help but wonder: "Xiaoshuang lives here, right?" Just as he was thinking to himself, suddenly Hearing a groan from upstairs, Liang Xiao heard it familiarly. It was Hua Xiaoshuang's voice, and he couldn't help but be startled: "There must be a bad guy upstairs." He wanted to break in, but he was afraid of disturbing the other party and losing the opportunity. .
At that moment, Liang Xiao climbed up to the eaves and stopped by the window. Before he could stand still, he heard a thin moan coming from the building. Liang Xiao suddenly thought about it and gently opened the window a crack, and a strong smell of herbs suddenly hit his nostrils. Taking a closer look, he saw Hua Xiaoshuang sitting cross-legged, with a short, fat old man sitting behind him. He was covered in fat and round like a meat ball. His eyes were wide-eyed, his gray mustache was raised high, and he seemed to be very nervous. On the right side are dozens of small silver basins filled with colorful medicinal liquids; on the left side is a square stove with a copper wire net on it, and large and small gold needles are placed on the net, which are licked by the flames below. , red and shiny.
The fat old man's hands were like lightning. He suddenly picked up a red-hot gold needle, dipped it in a pot of indigo liquid, and stabbed it into Hua Xiaoshuang's "Fengfu" acupoint, twisting his fingers slightly. Hua Xiaoshuang groaned in response to the needle, her eyebrows trembling, obviously in great pain.
Liang Xiao was so frightened at the sight that he rushed towards the front door with anger. Before he could think about it, he broke the window lattice with a "bang", jumped in, and aimed his kick at the fat old man. The old man was concentrating on twisting the golden needle when a kick suddenly flew out, like a ball, and rolled far away.
Liang Xiao didn't care whether he was alive or dead, and turned around to pull out the golden needle from Hua Xiaoshuang's back. Unexpectedly, before his fingers could touch it, the wind of the fist was fierce and he received a punch on the shoulder. Liang Xiao stumbled to the ground and glanced sideways, but the fat old man shouted angrily, jumped up, and was about to punch, when Xiao Shuang suddenly turned around and said in a weak tone: "Brother Xiao, don't do it..." Liang Xiao stumbled to the ground and glanced sideways. Xiao was stunned for a moment, but saw that the fat old man's eyes were angry, and he looked very angry, but he sat down bitterly, taking his time and twisting the golden needle in his hand. After a while, the fat old man quickly pulled out the golden needle, picked up a red-hot golden needle, dipped it in a basin of bright yellow medicinal liquid, and stabbed Xiaoshuang's "Dazhui point" with his backhand. This time it was extremely fast, with a slight twist, it was pulled out, fast and slow, stabbing Xiaoshuang's various points in a short time.
Liang Xiao saw that the fat old man was very accurate in identifying the acupuncture points and injecting needles. Duan Xiao was only limited by Xiao Shuang's words and did not dare to take action. He stayed on the spot for a while. At this time, Lord Lingshuang heard the sound and went upstairs, opened the curtain, and saw Liang Xiao standing aside with clenched fists and staring. His expression changed and he whispered: "Come here." Liang Xiao hesitated slightly and stepped forward. Lord Lingshuang grabbed him. He pulled him out of the house, his eyes flashed, and he said harshly: "Why are you here?" Liang Xiao said truthfully: "I came to see Xiaoshuang." Lingshuang Jun frowned, feeling extremely angry: "You wild boy, now that you are here Look, why didn't you just come in openly and break the window, almost missing something important?" Liang Xiao asked again: "What is that fat old man doing?" Ling Shuangjun flicked his sleeves and said impatiently. The gentleman is using the 'Yangyang Baicao Soul Locking Needle' to treat Xiaoshuang!" She pulled Liang Xiao and said, "Let's go downstairs."
When they got downstairs, Liang Xiao asked again: "Aunt, what exactly is Xiaoshuang's disease?" Ling Shuangjun glanced at him, sneered in his heart, and was too lazy to answer. Liang Xiao was about to ask more questions when he suddenly heard the sound of "thump, thump, thump" going downstairs, and saw the fat old man rushing down, his eyes fiercely staring at Liang Xiao.
Ling Shuangjun said to Liang Xiao: "You have come to meet this 'Evil Hua Tuo' Mr. Wu Changqing Wu!"
At this moment, Liang Xiao knew that he was the doctor who treated Xiaoshuang, so he was very fond of him. He sang a song and called out respectfully: "Mr. Wu!" But Wu Changqing rolled his eyes, glared and shouted: "Fuck you." Yes." He raised his hand and punched Liang Xiao in the heart. Liang Xiao hurriedly crossed his hands across his chest to block the incoming punch. Wu Changqing didn't land a single punch, and was even more angry. He yelled and cursed, and punched frequently. Although the moves were not subtle, they were very powerful. Liang Xiao interfered with his treatment, and felt guilty, so he couldn't fight back, so he just blocked it. He couldn't get even ten moves, so he received three punches. The punches penetrated his body and hurt his heart and lungs. As he retreated, his back hit the wall, and he couldn't help shouting: "Smelly fat man... Ouch, if you hit me again... if you hit me again, I'll fight back."
"Okay!" Wu Changqing took a step back, widened his eyes, and said sternly: "I just want to see how you fight back?" Before he finished speaking, his nose suddenly twitched slightly, his eyebrows showed joy, and he shouted: "What? What? "Ling Shuangjun laughed from upstairs: "Mr. Wu, guess what!" Wu Changqing closed his eyes, shook his head for a while, and then clapped his hands and laughed: "Yes! Xiao Tuanlong! Haha, Xiao Tuanlong!" " He didn't even look at Liang Xiao anymore. His round body was like a rubber ball, and he jumped up the stairs. Liang Xiao was worried about Xiaoshuang and could not bear to follow.
I saw three people in the room sitting around a fire, each with a purple clay pot in front of them. The copper kettle was boiling on the fire, and Xiaoshuang leaned against her mother, kneading a two-inch square round tea cake, and the thin tea strands fell into the purple sand pot with her slender jade hands. Ling Shuangjun lifted up the copper pot and poured boiling water into it. Green waves rolled in the pot, and a strong aroma of tea filled the upstairs, washing away the smell of herbs.
Change into Xiao Qiang (2)
Xiaoshuang saw Liang Xiao and greeted her with a smile. Wu Changqing was slightly startled, looked at Liang Xiao, frowned and said: "You are the Liang Xiao that Xiaoshuang often mentioned..." But at this time, the fragrance of tea passed by the tip of his nose, and it was too much. It was so tempting that I couldn't help but put the next words aside and looked at the white steam rising in the cup in front of me, rubbing my hands together with a look of salivation. Liang Xiao was surprised: "Isn't it just drinking tea? What's so strange about it?" He glared at the old man and said, "Is it possible that this old fat man's family is too poor to even buy tea?"
But Xiaoshuang laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, what do you think this white steam looks like?" Liang Xiao looked intently and saw the white steam of tea gathering in the air, resembling a white crane stretching its neck and spreading its wings. One of them dispersed, and another came out again. He couldn't help but wonder: "That's strange!" Xiaoshuang said with a smile: "It's not strange. This is the unique 'Lone Crane Jade Spring' in Qiyue Valley. The beauty of the water is unparalleled in the world." , use it to challenge the 'Little Tuanlong', seriously..." Wu Changqing gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Unparalleled in the world, haha, unparalleled in the world!" He beamed and was overjoyed.
Xiaoshuang handed the tea cake to Liang Xiao, and Lord Lingshuang placed a purple sand pot in front of Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao asked in surprise: "What are you doing?" Hua Xiaoshuang said sweetly: "To divide the tea, you spread some tea cakes in the pot, and mom pours boiling water into it." Liang Xiao said "oh" and broke it casually. Put the second half in a bowl.
Wu Changqing said angrily: "You think you're just eating? Aren't you afraid of being punished by God if you put so much in?" As he spoke, he showed a heartbroken look and took out the extra tea silk. Liang Xiao couldn't help shouting: "Isn't it just tea? What's the big deal if you put more or less?" Wu Changqing rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What do you know, little brat?" He carefully put away the tea leaves in his hand. , said, "This 'Little Tuanlong' comes from Fujian. It is the best tea. It is a small piece of cake, worth a hundred gold. It is only a tribute to Ouchi. But gold is available but tea is not easy to come by. Even the emperor cherishes it. I heard that the senior officials in the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province were only given one piece of cake when the emperor went to fast in the southern suburbs, and the four of them sat around each other to share the tea. "A unique way of eating. Someone wrote a poem about the beauty of this tea." He said proudly, his small eyes narrowed into two slits, and he shook his head and said: "It's like splitting catkins flying through the space, and the shadows are falling." The cold river can change everything. The head of the silver bottle is still high, and the soup is used to make a prostitute. "
Liang Xiao heard what he said nicely and took a sip. Wu Changqing stared at him and smiled: "How does it taste?" Although Liang Xiao thought the taste was not bad, he deliberately said: "It's nothing good to drink, it's better than horse urine." Wu Changqing's small eyes widened and he became furious: "Fart, fart, you This mouth is only suitable for drinking horse urine." He snatched Liang Xiao's tea pot with his hands and poured it all into his own pot. Liang Xiao was furious and almost wanted to jump up, but he glanced at Xiaoshuang, sat down, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Wu, I don't know how to drink tea. I've just tasted the taste now. Can you let me take a sip?" "Wu Changqing glanced at him and sneered: "Want to drink? Huh, but based on what you just said, I won't give you a drink." He protected the sand pot with one hand to prevent Liang Xiao from grabbing it.
Liang Xiao was full of anger, but dared not speak out. Hua Xiaoshuang covered her mouth and laughed for a while, filled a cup, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, drink mine." Liang Xiao took it and silently After taking a few sips, I felt that my heart was refreshed and my spleen was refreshed, and the anger in my heart disappeared.
The four of them sat and drank tea like this without saying anything. Wu Changqing's tea tasting method was very strange. Every time he took a sip, he would close his eyes and shake his head. He would be intoxicated for a long time, sigh, and take another sip. Liang Xiao felt bored, so he asked, "Where did Uncle Hua go?" Ling Shuangjun didn't want to talk to him. Hearing this, he just said lightly: "Today is the 'Opening Ceremony' at noon, and he is very busy." Liang Xiao asked curiously: "What is the opening ceremony of heaven?" Ling Shuangjun frowned slightly: "Don't you know?" Liang Xiao suddenly felt at a loss. He was busy practicing these days and knew nothing about the affairs in the palace. Besides, no one took him seriously and never told him about any big or small matters.
But Hua Xiaoshuang said: "Brother Xiao, as the name suggests, this Opening of the Sky Ceremony means breaking the sky and rebirthing all things. It is also a ceremony for destroying the old and establishing the new." Liang Xiao seemed to understand, and was about to ask more details, but suddenly heard In the distance, the long ringing of the Persian water clock could be heard, three times in a row, one sound after another. A maid came in and said: "Madam, Miss, Mr. Wu, the palace master invites you to come over."
Lord Ling Shuang nodded slightly, took Xiao Shuang's hand and said, "Mr. Wu, the time has come, let's go." Wu Changqing laughed and said, "Slow down, slow down, you guys go first, I want to finish the tea, hehe, How can such good tea go to waste?" Ling Shuangjun knew that although this old man had great medical skills, he was addicted to tea. At this time, he couldn't let go of this "little Tuanlong", so he could only smile and said: "That's fine." He glanced at Liang Xiao and thought to himself: "This wild boy doesn't understand etiquette and is extremely annoying. If he goes to such a solemn ceremony, he might cause trouble again, which is not beautiful." Thinking of pretending to forget, and not calling him, He just pulled Hua Xiaoshuang up and left. She left in a hurry, and Hua Xiaoshuang only had time to look back before disappearing behind the door curtain.
Liang Xiao and Wu Changqing were the only two people left in the room. Without Hua Xiaoshuang, Liang Xiao felt dejected and drank all the tea in the pot in silence. Wu Changqing drank tea for a while, then glanced sideways at him and said, "Boy, do you want to go to this opening ceremony?" Liang Xiao shook his head and said, "They didn't call me, why should I go?" Wu Changqing sneered, "You boy, Liang Xiao retorted: "You fat man, you are really a white maggot in excrement, smelly and fat." Wu Changqing was savoring the smell of tea, and he felt unappetized after hearing this. Putting it into the bowl, he said angrily: "You bastard, you can't say anything else?" Liang Xiao said: "But you were the first to curse." Wu Changqing glanced at him, but did not make a move, just sneered: "You have some skills, kid" You are not as strong as ordinary people. They only get scolded and dare not retaliate." Liang Xiao said, "What's wrong with ordinary people? Isn't everything you eat and drink grown by ordinary people?"
Wu Changqing was stunned and couldn't think of how to refute him, so he had to change the topic and sneered: "Humph, Xiaoshuang often talks about you bastard to me. Every time I talk about you, I am very happy." Liang Xiao felt hot in his heart. He said loudly: "That's natural, she and I are best friends."
Change into Xiao Qiang(3)
Wu Changqing showed a smile for the first time, nodded and said: "Well, you can sit here more often in the future and make her happy. It will be very beneficial to her illness." Liang Xiao was stunned and whispered: "Mr. Wu, what exactly is Xiaoshuang?" What's wrong?" Wu Changqing took a sip of tea, looked at the roof for a while, and said in a cold voice: "That's called the Nine Yin Poison Veins. There is an excess of Yin Qi in nature, and the Yin Cold Poison Qi is entangled in the nine Yin Veins. I will take her life at any time." When Liang Xiao heard the last sentence, he jumped up in shock and shouted: "What are you talking about? How did she get such a strange disease?"
Although Wu Changqing has a bad temper, he is a straightforward person and does not like to lie. When Liang Xiao asked, he casually said: "This is what she brought in her mother's womb. Her mother received a palm that was extremely cold and cold." , she was already dying when she was brought to me. I checked her veins and found that she was not only suffering from cold poison, but also several months pregnant." When he said this, he frowned and sighed: "I would have known now. We should only save the mother, not the fetus, so as not to do anything wrong. At that time, I asked Hua Qingyuan if he wanted to save the fetus. , even though he knew it was too much to get the best of both worlds, he still tried his best to save the lives of the mother and daughter, overcoming almost insurmountable medical difficulties. Unexpectedly, the residual poison accumulated in the fetus and became a disease. "Nine Yin Poison Veins." When he said this, he suddenly frowned, slapped his thigh, and cursed: "It's bad luck, it's really bad luck."
Liang Xiao's heart was on fire and he said urgently: "Sir, your medical skills are superb, you will be able to cure her, right?" Wu Changqing's face turned black, she glared at him fiercely, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: " The poison was brought in the womb and is stubborn. Over the past ten years, I have tried every means and used countless medicines to cleanse her marrow and get rid of the cold poison, but in the end, it could only prolong her life for a while. ! My treatment always has its beginning and end. Since I let her come into the world, I will save her for one day. There is no other way. "
Liang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "Damn fat man, you are lying!" Wu Changqing slapped his legs and said angrily: "I lied to you, and I can't exchange my lies for tea!" Liang Xiao! Seeing his appearance, Xiao knew that what he said was true. He felt a knot in his heart and thought to himself: "Why do good people in this world always have a bad life? My father was a kind man, but he died in an unknown way. Xiaoshuang was the best to others, but he was so unlucky." If you are suffering from a terminal illness, does God have to let all good people die?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he suddenly struck out with a palm. This palm was filled with anger, and he almost used all his strength, but there was a loud crash. It actually penetrated the floor beside him, causing debris to fly and smoke and dust to fall into the purple sand pot. Wu Changqing ignored the burning of his hands and hurriedly stretched out his sleeves to cover the purple sand pot. He said angrily: "You brat, are you crazy? Are you crazy?"
Liang Xiao stared at a pair of palms, feeling slightly startled. It turns out that he has been practicing Stone Formation Martial Arts and Black Water Martial Arts these days. Although the time is short, his internal strength has improved greatly, but he is addicted to it and does not know it.
Just as he was dazed, Wu Changqing suddenly jumped up, gave him a slap in the mouth, and shouted sternly: "Crazy boy, did you take the wrong medicine?" Liang Xiao received a slap in the face, and then he became slightly sober, but he could not fight back. I felt very depressed for a while. Wu Changqing poured another bowl of tea. After one sip, he felt that the taste was greatly reduced. He must have just fallen into the mud. He was addicted to tea and was extremely angry for a moment, staring at Liang Xiao and blowing his beard.
The two looked at each other and sat there for a moment as if fighting cocks. Liang Xiao finally suppressed his anger and suddenly remembered something and asked: "Mr. Wu, have you heard of Chunyang Iron Box?" Wu Changqing said angrily: " "I've heard of it, what?" Liang Xiao said: "I heard that the iron box contains Lu Dongbin's elixir and fire talisman, which can give birth to human flesh and bones. Qin Bofu fought with a great monk to get this iron box. Aggressive. Mr. Wu, I wonder if that elixir and fire talisman can cure Xiaoshuang's stubborn illness?"
Wu Changqing twirled his beard and sneered. After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he snorted: "How much can Lu Dongbin, a bullshit Taoist priest, weigh? Life and death, human flesh and white bones! Bah, go to hell. As the saying goes: 'Sickness comes like a mountain. Illnesses go away like silkworms. Illnesses come and go, but they don't happen overnight. It's a pity that people in the world only love to give up difficulties for easy things. They have been seriously ill for many years but hope to be cured one day. They don't listen to the doctor's advice and don't take the medicine. Instead, they just seek help from some witches. , Talisman-drawing Taoist priest. Huh, it turns out that you are still sick, and you are still dead. It is your own fault." He cursed and his voice became louder and louder, wishing that everyone in the world could hear it.
Liang Xiao hesitated and said: "But I heard Qin Bofu said that he went to ask for that box because Mr. Wu you mentioned the Chunyang iron box." Wu Changqing squinted at him and chuckled: "I told you to dig into your crotch. "Are you going to drill?" Liang Xiao frowned and said, "Of course not." Wu Changqing said, "That's right. Qin Bofu went crazy while practicing and came to me for treatment. I knew it was because of it. His "Giant Spirit Mysterious Technique" is too overbearing, and the best way is to abolish the martial arts. It cannot be helped by pills. "Giant Spirit Mysterious Technique" was originally a martial art in the Taoist sect. Qin Bofu's master Xuan Tianzun was also a Taoist priest, so the man didn't believe what I said, and even used the Taoist method of moving around the sky to argue with me. The old man was angry and said, "Do you know that Lu Dongbin is nothing?" ? He is a famous living god. I heard that he has a Chunyang iron box handed down from generation to generation, which contains alchemy and fire talismans. You may wish to find it and try it. It may cure your chronic illness. The man surnamed Qin looked smart, but was actually as stupid as a horse. Hearing this, he was immediately happy. However, he still had a conscience, so he asked the old man again: "Since it can cure all diseases, is it possible that it can also cure Miss Shuang's disease?" ' The old man was upset when he asked him repeatedly, so he said, 'Of course you can. If you are really capable, just find the iron box and talk about it.' When the guy heard this, he was so happy that he peed. Gone. Humph, let alone the fact that the iron box cures diseases is nothing, so what if it is found, no one has ever opened the iron box, maybe it is just a piece of iron, a trick of evil spirits. "
Wu Changqing has been practicing medicine for half his life, and what he hates most is witches and Taoist priests, so he scolds them endlessly. Liang Xiao wants to ask the details of the Chunyang iron box, but he can't get in. Suddenly, a maid came in through the curtain and timidly said: "Mr. Wu, the master of the palace, please come over!" Wu Changqing was shocked when he heard this: "Oops, I almost missed something big by just messing around with this bastard." He stopped immediately. He stood up and glared at Liang Xiao bitterly, and said, "You brat, come with me too."
Change into Xiao Qiang (4)
Liang Xiao frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to go?" Wu Changqing snorted, "Since you regard Shuang'er as a friend, you must go to this grand event!" Without any explanation, he dragged Liang Xiao and walked out. But after taking two steps, he turned back and drank all the tea in the purple sand pot in one go. He even took out the tea leaves with his hands, stuffed them into his mouth, and said while stuffing them: "Don't waste it, don't waste it."
After having tea, Wu Changqing dragged Liang Xiao and walked directly to the spiritual platform. In the distance, he saw hundreds of people standing or sitting on the platform. The two of them climbed up the steps, and when they reached the middle section, Hua Qingyuan had already come down to greet him. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, how are you?" He turned around and smiled at Liang Xiao, "You're here too." He held his hand again and said, " Uncle Hua has been busy practicing martial arts recently and has no time to look at you. You look very good. I guess you have recovered from your illness, right?" Liang Xiao felt warm in his heart and said with a smile, "Uncle Meng is worried, I am all fine." Laugh, very happy.
The three of them came to the stage side by side. Liang Xiao looked up and saw Hua Wuyi sitting due south. When she saw Wu Changqing, she greeted Wu Changqing with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Wu." But she didn't look at Liang Xiao seriously. Hua Murong stood behind her, holding an ancient sword with a black sheath. A few feet to the left, sit Hua Xiaoshuang, her mother and her son. Hua Xiaoshuang smiled when she saw Liang Xiao. The five people bowed their heads, and there were seven people sitting on the third left and fourth on the right. The first person on the right was the old man named Ming who was guarding the mourning platform, followed by Zuo Yuan, and the two behind them were Tong Zhu and Qin Bofu. Qin Bofu's face looked much better. When he saw Liang Xiao raise his eyebrows, he nodded slightly, but did not step forward to acknowledge him. The first person on the left is Xiu Gu, and the other two are Ye Zhao and Yang Lu. Judging from the popularity of the seven people, they are all different from others. Thinking of their noble status, and looking at the men and women around them, they all have solemn expressions.
Hua Qingyuan led the two of them to the top, ordered two chairs to be brought over, and asked them to sit down. Seeing that most of the young people were standing, Liang Xiao felt that it was inappropriate for him to sit down, so he said: "Uncle Hua, I'm young, it doesn't matter if I stand for a while." Hua Qingyuan didn't expect that he would become so sensible, and for a moment, He couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, Uncle Hua is very happy after hearing what you said!" He patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked to Hua Wuyi's right side to stand.
Liang Xiao blended into the crowd and stood next to a young man with sparse features. Not long after, the Persian water clock rang again, and the voices in the venue gradually became thinner and quieter. Hua Wuyi nodded and saw the old man surnamed Ming standing up slowly, twirling his beard with one hand, and chanting loudly: "The name of Gao bird has only been heard before, and it is the right time of the night to sing round; every chirp will startle everyone, There is no leisure time to reach Qingyun. "The voice is smooth, but clear and distant, and the huge Qiyue Valley also echoes. Just after he finished chanting, Zuo Yuan also stood up and said in a long voice: "Sleep lightly and let the pines and flowers fall. After dancing, listen to the water flowing in the stream. The bright wings of your wings dominate the snow, and the winds and gods sprinkle down to take over the high autumn."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Tong Zhu say: "I left my hometown far away from the Huating River and came to live in the mountains and clouds. I feel ashamed that the rice fields are not full and I have never looked back at the chickens." Qin Bofu smiled slightly, stood up and said softly. "The right wing is drooping and the left shin is injured. The poor appearance is hidden in the sky. I also know that the blue sky is beautiful in the daytime, so I don't want to fly high and heal the sores." Xiugu laughed and said: "Although Brother Qin's poem is about a sick crane, it is too weird. I feel a little depressed." After a moment of reflection, he stroked his beard and chanted, "The kites are fighting for food and the birds are fighting for their nests. There is a lot of wind and snow beside the independent pond. They just walk on the ice all day long and don't sing." Qin Bofu clapped his hands and smiled. Said: "What a stand-alone figure standing in the snow, he really does not lose his grace."
Liang Xiao heard this strangely and pushed the young man beside him and said, "Hey, what are those old men doing?" The young man felt unhappy when he heard his rude words, but he thought he had spoken to Hua Qingyuan, so he should have some status. He could only say patiently: "Your Excellency, you must be a distinguished guest from outside, right? This Tianji Eight Cranes reciting poems to express their aspirations is a common practice before the opening ceremony. But six years ago, Uncle Qiu Shan, the 'Linghe', died of illness. The Qiu family There is only one descendant, and Uncle Qiu has never married, so there are no successors in the Qiu family, and now only Qihe is left!" After saying this, he felt very sad. Liang Xiao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the poems the five people had just recited were all related to cranes.
The young man pointed to the old man surnamed Ming and said, "That is Uncle Ming, 'Huang He', whose only name is Gui..." He told the identities of Qi He one by one, and Liang Xiaofang knew that Zuo Yuan was "White Crane". Tong Zhu is the "green crane", Qin Bofu is the "sick crane", Xiugu is the "red-crowned crane", Ye Zhao is the "chihe", and Yang Lu is the "black-necked crane". After the young man finished speaking, he only heard Yang Lu already reciting loudly: "The top of the house has fresh hair and a docile character. The leisure time in Sha Ting is full of troubles. The east wind rises for no reason at dusk, and a cloud floats in the spring sky." He was the end of Qihe, so he finished chanting this. The poem also ends with it.
Seeing that Qihe had finished reciting the poem, Hua Wuyao looked solemn and said, "Today..." Before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard Minggui's voice say: "Slow down." Hua Wuyao said in surprise: "Brother Ming still has one. What to say?" Ming Gui said calmly: "The spirit crane went to the west that day, and now the eight cranes are withered. But we old brothers have a deep affection and will never forget it. Ming Gui is not talented, so I would like to write a poem for my brother Qiu Shan. I miss you so much that I can make up the number of the Eight Cranes in Heaven." Hua Wuyao raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Brother Yi Ming."
Minggui thought for a while and chanted loudly: "The Qingyun has little power, but I didn't expect it to fall back. I'm lucky that my wings were trapped by the wind and rain, how could I have to be trapped in rice and rice." After chanting, he said again, "Brother Qiu will live his life." He was lonely and depressed in the wind and rain, but his character was very noble. Although he is dead now, his spirit still remains in the sky to shine light on us ordinary people." After saying this, he bowed to the sky and bowed. Tong Zhu and others all looked sad and prostrated one after another, and the crowd suddenly became shorter.
Hua Wuyi didn't want to bring up the old things again after returning home, so she was quite surprised and couldn't help but frown. Ming Gui stood up and said: "Palace Master, Brother Qiu died in an unknown way. I wonder what the consequences will be after all these years?" Hua Wuyao shook his head and said, "Didn't I say that back then, Qiu Shan committed suicide by taking poison, and he can still survive?" What's the result?" Ming Gui said, "But why did he commit suicide?" Hua Wuyi couldn't help but look down, and shouted: "How do I know?" Tong Zhu and Xiu Gu looked at Hua Wuyao with sad and angry expressions.
Hua Wuyi felt that something was not good, but she couldn't explain why it was so bad. She had to suppress her anger and said slowly: "Today is the opening ceremony. We will talk about this later. Brother Ming, please step aside for now." Ming Ming. Gui Xiao smiled and said, "It's easy to talk." He turned around and sat down. When the other six cranes saw him sitting down, they took their seats.

Hua Wuyi pressed the handrail, stood up and said: "It's really hard for everyone to come from all over the world today, and it's even more rare for Bo Fu to come back. It's the first time in six years that the 'Seven Cranes of Heaven' will gather together in one place, which is really rare..." At this point, Minggui suddenly interrupted and said: "The palace master is wrong, it must be Tianji Bahe." Hua Wuyao's willow eyebrows were raised sharply, and she was about to refute, but she heard Zuo Yuan say loudly: "Yes, Brother Qiu has already passed away." Even if you die, your spirit will still be alive." Tong Zhu and Xiu Gu also nodded and said, "What Zuo Laoer said makes sense."
Hua Wuyi's face was as dark as water, and she was silent for a long time, and then she said calmly: "You are right, I have made a mistake, and now it is time for the eight cranes to reunite again." After saying that, he sighed and continued, "My father is young. He died young, leaving me and Wu Xiang. My brother was young and had no choice but to take charge of Tianji Palace in his old age. , he challenged a powerful enemy and was seriously injured and died." She couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes as she thought of her deceased brother, almost crying, and said slowly, "Back then, there was no leader in the palace, and I had no choice but to regain the leadership of the palace. To this day, it has happened. It has been more than thirty years. Fortunately, my son Qingyuan is old and has achieved great success in martial arts. Therefore, I would like to give up the position of palace master to Qingyuan. "I wonder if you have any objections? His eyes slowly swept across the field.
Liang Xiao suddenly realized: "It turns out that replacing the old with the new and rebuilding the universe means changing the palace master." Thinking of Hua Qingyuan becoming the palace master, he was quite happy for him. Seeing that there was silence in the field, Hua Wuyi said: "Qingyuan." Hua Qingyuan stepped forward and knelt down in obeisance. Hua Murong held the long black sheath sword in Hua Wuyi's hand. Hua Wuyi turned the sword hilt upside down and said in a deep voice: "Qingyuan, this Tai'a sword is a token of the palace master. Holding it upside down, Tai'a holds the power. Holding this sword hilt, you are the twelfth generation palace master of Tianji Palace. From now on, we will order everyone to follow the rules."
Hua Qingyuan was silent for a while, and finally responded. Just as he was about to reach out and grasp the hilt of the sword, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Wait a minute!" Everyone was startled, and turned around to see a man wearing purple satin. A man in his thirties with a handsome face came out of the crowd and said with a loud smile: "I am the master of Sunan Bank in Ming Sanqiu. I secretly think that it is very inappropriate for Young Master Yuan to take the position of the master of this palace."
Hua Wuyi frowned, with a faint green air rising on her face, she took back the ancient sword, said "Oh" and said, "Mr. Ming, what do you think is wrong?" Her eyes were as bright as Ming Sanqiu. Ming Sanqiu was unmoved, and said with a slight smile: "First, Young Master Yuan is rebellious and unfilial!" As soon as these words came out, hundreds of people were in an uproar. Hua Wuyi was stunned and sneered: "Can you say this nonsense? Ming Sanqiu, if you don't make it clear, you will be punished by the palace rules!"
Ming Sanqiu said with a smile: "I don't dare. There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an heir! Hua Qingyuan only has one daughter so far, and she has the 'Nine Yin Poison Veins' in her body, and her life is hanging by a thread. If he is a hundred years from now, who can inherit him? Tianji Taoism?" Hua Xiaoshuang seemed to have been punched in the chest, her face turned pale, she lowered her head, and Ling Shuangjun's face became as pale as paper. Liang Xiao couldn't help but feel angry and dissatisfied with Ming Sanqiu.
Hua Wuyi remained calm and said calmly: "This is my son's family matter. He has his own wife. It will not be difficult to have children in the future!" Hua Qingyuan was shocked, stood up and wanted to speak, but saw Hua Wuyi waved her hand, sighed and stepped aside.
Ming Sanqiu smiled and said, "That's right, it's just as the palace master said, but Hua Xiaoshuang is nearly fifteen years old, why haven't he and his wife given birth to a boy and a half girl?" Hua Mu couldn't tolerate it anymore and shouted loudly: "Ming Sanqiu, Don't you think it's presumptuous for a young boss to say such things?" Ming Sanqiu said with a smile: "Young Master Rong, don't get me wrong, I am also thinking about the future of Tianji Palace. "There are not two thousand people in the palace, but there are one thousand and seventy-eight. If there is no leader, money and life are a trivial matter. If there is something wrong with the ancient books in the palace, how can we see the ancestors of Tianji Palace?"
Hua Wuyi glanced at Hua Qingyuan and sneered: "Yuan'er has his own arrangements for this matter. I don't care about Ming. If you have nothing else to do, please step aside." Ming Sanqiu smiled slightly, but did not retreat. He said: "I haven't finished speaking yet!" Hua Murong frowned and said sternly: "You! What else do you have to say?" Ming Sanqiu smiled and said nothing, but Hua Wuyao's face was uncertain, thinking: "This person usually manages money and food in southern Jiangsu. He is very low-key and inconspicuous. Why did he suddenly become so arrogant today? Is there something he can rely on?" The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became, and she glanced at Minggui. Ming Gui is the head of the Ming family, and Hua Wuyi expected him to come forward to stop him, but unexpectedly, Ming Gui held his long beard in his hand, with a cold look on his face, as if he had not noticed the situation in front of him. She couldn't help but feel angry, but she couldn't help but lose her grace. She looked at Ming Sanqiu coldly and said calmly: "Okay, please tell me, Mr. Ming!"
Ming Sanqiu cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Thank you, Palace Master. According to Sanqiu's knowledge, the person selected as Palace Master must be superior in martial arts and arithmetic before he can succeed to the throne. I don't know if that is true or not?" Hua Wuyi has not yet answered, Zuo Yuan already responded: "That's right! There is such a rule. It was set when the population was booming. Within ten generations since Lingtong Gong, the number of Hua family members has gradually become scarce. For the past five generations, they have all been passed down by a single lineage. Therefore, this rule has not been mentioned for a long time." Hua Wuyuan heard that what he said was the truth and could not refute it, so she could only say: "What Brother Zuo said is true."
Ming Sanqiu smiled and said: "Okay, since there is this rule, then Young Master Yuan can no longer assume the position of palace master." Hua Wuyi's face became more and more gloomy, staring at him and said: "Why?" There was already a hint in her tone. There is anger. Ming Sanqiu looked at Hua Qingyuan and said with a smile: "It's just because Young Master Hua is not the number one in Tianji Palace in terms of arithmetic and martial arts." Hua Wuyao said: "Yes, Qingyuan's skills are slightly worse than Lao Shen, but With rapid progress, in a year and a half, there will be no rivals in Tianji Palace."
Ming Sanqiu put a hand on his waist and suddenly laughed loudly. The laughter was so powerful that it made everyone's ears buzz. Hua Wuyi's heart shivered slightly and she raised her voice and said, "What's so funny?" Ming Sanqiu looked confused. Ning, said loudly: "The so-called Tao is impermanent, and the law has no fixed law! The palace master only counts among the people in the Hua family, but he doesn't know that not all of the two thousand people in the Tianji Palace are named Hua!" When everyone heard this, they were all excited. They looked at each other in surprise
