sea

Chapter 16
Ning Bukong was overjoyed, grabbed his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "What word, quickly... read it to me!" Lu Jian focused his eyes on identifying each word, and read each word: "Zhi-up-chang- -Thin-East-Ji-Grip-point."

"Tibetan silk on paper, lying in snow in winter?" Ning Bukong mused, "'Winter lying in snow' is easy to explain, it means lying in snow in winter, but this 'Tibetan silk on paper' is a bit weird." Lu Jian He smiled and said, "Mister is wrong, it's not these eight words." Then he said it word by word to Ning Bukong.

"Above the long and thin Dongji holding point?" Ning Bukong was at a loss for a while, "This sentence doesn't make sense." He thought for a long time, and then asked, "What is the size of these eight characters? Where is it in the portrait?" Lu Jian said: "This sentence The eight characters are small and light, below the triangular seal."

"Under the Seal of Harmony?" Ning Bukong mused, "Lu Jian, lift up Zebu's portrait and bake the bottom of the seal with candlelight, but be careful not to burn the scroll."

Lu Jian held up the lamp and baked it for a while, except for the yellowing of the paper, there was no writing on it.Ning Bukong thought for a while, and then said: "Where is the horoscope, is there any trace of water soaking?" Lu Jian took a closer look, the seal was slightly hairy, it was indeed soaked in water, and said: "Yes." Ning Bukong smiled and said: " You take a bowl of water, moisten the bottom of the seal first, and then bake it with candlelight."

Lu Jian moistened the portrait according to the law, and then baked it. When the water was completely dry, a line of words appeared on the paper.When Ning Bukong heard about it, he was overjoyed, and clapped his hands and said, "This place must be coated with medicine, and it must be soaked in water and baked to show up. Yin Jiuchong, Yin Jiuchong, thanks to you, haha, if it weren't for you, how would I know it?" Can you break the secret in this portrait?" He laughed wildly for a while, and then ordered Lu Jian to read the handwriting that appeared, but it was "Daxiabai and refers to the calendar beads".

Ning Bukong recited the eight characters silently, quoted scriptures and classics, and ordered Lu Jian to show the handwriting of other portraits.The portrait of Mizube says "Eggs are like mountains separated by spring", while the portrait of Yamabe reads "Eggs are like Jing, snow and trees are vortex houses".

Ning Bukong thought for a long time, first use the homophonic stress method to see if these lines of characters use homophonic sounds, and then change the order of the words to see if the order of these words is changed, and if they are rearranged, can they read a smooth sentence.

He is a rare smart person, once he falls into a myth, he will definitely forget to sleep and eat.Seeing that he was chanting, Lu Jian felt bored, so he walked out the door, but seeing Cangbingwei kneeling upright in front of the flowerbed, he couldn't help sighing secretly, brought a futon and said, "Kangbingwei, it's more comfortable for you to kneel on. "

Cang Bingwei spat and said bitterly, "I don't want you to be pitiful even if I'm dead." Lu Jian was so angry that he couldn't speak, and frowned, "Who wants to pity you?" Throwing the futon in front of him, he turned around He left, and suddenly heard Cangbingwei weeping softly behind him, he felt a pain in his chest, and his eyes were hot.

He lay back on the bed and thought to himself: "Even though Cangbingwei is poor, he has a father and a mother, but I don't even have a grandfather." It's interesting; I still remember that when he went to sell fish that year, he was robbed of the fish by a few hooligans in the town, and he was pressed into the mud and beaten to death.Afterwards, Lu Jian went home crying, covered in mud. When Lu Dahai heard about it, he went out without saying a word, but he didn't come back for a long time. It wasn't until evening that Lu Jian found out that his grandfather broke the leg of one of the little rascals and was arrested by the yamen. They were caught, beaten with [-] boards and thrown into prison.

That night, he lay on the bed tired and hungry, with pain all over his body, but silently swore in his heart that no matter how grandpa lied or lost money, he would not blame him.After that night, he seemed to have grown up a lot, and started weaving nets, fishing, and taking care of the family.

It was night, and Lu Jian was so sad that he fell asleep crying.The next day, when I went out to check, I found Cangbei lying on the ground, hot all over.Lu Jian hurriedly carried him back to his room, and found a doctor to diagnose him, but he was suffering from a cold.Lu Jian went to see Ning Bukong, but saw that his expression was dull, and he was muttering something, saying something like "Eight Figures into One", and he would not respond to his calls.Lu Jian had no choice but to make up his own mind, called Uzaemon and asked him to take Kurabei home to rest.

After sending Cangbingwei away, the courtyard became more and more deserted, so Lu Jian sharpened a wooden sword and practiced the "Duan Shui sword technique".When he was using the sword, he suddenly realized that his thoughts had sprouted, and the wooden sword had already been stabbed out. Sometimes he only thought of ten moves in his mind, but he had already used fifteen or six moves.

Lu Jian was surprised, and guessed it must be because of the "Book of Hei Tian", he sighed unconsciously, thinking that Yao Qing always complained that she was too slow to draw a sword in the past, if she saw his fast sword today, how would she feel.Thinking of Yao Qing, he felt another pain in his chest: "I haven't seen her for three years, and I don't know what she has become? Has Sister Xianbi detoxified her? Both of her parents died, her home was burned, and she is alone, what will happen to her?" Won't you be lonely and sad?"

Lu Jian looked at the blue sky and flowing clouds, thinking about his old friend, and felt insane for a moment. At this moment, he heard giggles. Someone said, "Stingy man, are you still sad after losing the cat?" Lu Jian looked back, Ashi was dressed in a kimono, standing pretty nearby, the kimono was snow white, with a few pink cherry blossoms dotted on his sleeves and knees, the Fomalhaut in his arms was mixed with the white clothes, if it wasn't for his blue eyes, it would be hard to tell.

Ashi smiled and said: "Well, the cat is still yours, I will help you raise it, if it doesn't like me in the future, I will give it back to you." Lu Jian shook his head and said: "The cat is not mine, it is another There is a master." Thinking of Ning Bukong's words, Ah Shi couldn't help but ask, "Is that master also a woman?"

Lu Jian nodded, and Ah Shi asked: "Is she beautiful?" Lu Jian said: "Very beautiful." Ah Shi raised his mouth and snorted softly: "No wonder you are so sad, are you afraid of losing the cat? Son, can't please that big beauty?"

Lu Jian was stunned, and said with a broken smile, "She is beautiful, and so are you." He compared Ah Shi with Xianbi without any other intention, but Ah Shi's pretty face turned red, and he lowered his head to caress the cat in his arms, Sighing: "So what about beauty, and no one is sad for me." Lu Jian didn't understand her little daughter's thoughts, and asked: "If you come to the outer house alone, the family will not worry?" A Shi shook his head and said: "Both my parents passed away, and among the older brothers, my elder brother was the one who was close to me. This time when my elder brother went to the capital, those maids surrounded me all day long, and I was not allowed to do this, nor was I allowed to do that, it was really boring." She secretly Taking a look at Lu Jian, "Boy, what's your name?"

When Lu Jian said it, Ah Shi wondered, "Your name is really strange, it's very different from mine." Lu Jian said, "I'm from Tang Dynasty, so naturally I use Tang people's name." Ah Shi said happily: "I see Mr. Xuegu's landscape painting, the painting is the landscape of the Tang Dynasty, which is very good."

Lu Jian scratched his head and sighed: "I grew up by the sea, and I saw the sea every day, mountains and rivers, and I've never seen it before." Feeling a little disappointed, Ah Shi tilted his head and thought about it, then smiled and said: "Lu Jian, you play 'Tiao Ma' with me!"

"Tiao Ma?" Lu Jianqi asked, "How do you play?" Ah Shi smiled sweetly, took his hand suddenly, and ran for a while.Lu Jian had never held hands with a woman before, and although he and Yao Qing had practiced swordsmanship for many days, he had never had physical contact, but he felt that Ah Shi's little hands were slippery and soft, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly. Only then can there be consciousness.I saw a cherry blossom tree by the wall, with sparse branches, slanting out of the wall.

Ashi put Fomalhaut behind his back, took off his clogs, tied them around his waist, exposed his white and tender feet, followed by hugging the tree with both hands, climbed to the branch of the big tree like a civet cat, and waved to Lu Jian: "Come on. "After that, he jumped up and disappeared outside the wall.Lu Jian was shocked. He climbed up the tree and looked up. Outside the wall was a field of hemp seedlings.Suddenly I saw Ah Shi waving in the field: "Come down quickly!"

Lu Jian thought to himself that Ah Shi could still jump off the fence, and that he would not be able to lose to her, so he jumped and landed in the field.

"These seedlings are almost one foot tall," Ah Shi said, "I come to jump every day, and the seedlings grow very fast, one foot, two feet, three feet, and keep growing taller, and finally grow to be as tall as a person. If you can't jump over, you will lose to Ma."

She took off her kimono, revealing her undergarments, the trousers were only knee-high, revealing a section of snow-white and smooth calf.Ah Shi took a deep breath, passed over the first hemp seedling, and just landed on the ground, and made another leap, skimming over the tip of the second hemp seedling. Ruoyan, but as her physical strength weakened, her feet kept touching the tips of the shoots.

"I can't dance anymore." Ah Shi gasped, beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks, his clothes were wet and clear, revealing a graceful figure, Lu Jian's face turned red and his heart beat when he saw it, and he turned his head away.

"Dancing alone is not fun." Ah Shi smiled, "I used to dance with my elder brother, but today you can dance with me. Don't lose to Ma!"

Lu Jian didn't dare to look her in the eye, so he responded, put down his wooden sword, and imitated Ah Shi's way of jumping over the mats.It was only after this jump that I realized the difficulty. At the beginning it was easy for a few trees, but the more I jumped, the more tired I became. At the end of the jump, I couldn't even jump half a foot high.Ah Shi could dance four lines, but Lu Jian couldn't do two. He really felt ashamed, and felt that no matter what, he couldn't lose to the petite Ah Shi, so he mustered up his energy and went all out.

After dancing one day, Lu Jian returned to the room, his legs were sore, and it was difficult to stretch or bend. Unexpectedly, he slept with his head covered all night, and when he woke up the next day, the soreness in his legs disappeared without a trace.In the afternoon, Ah Shi came to invite him again, but after only one night, Lu Jian became much stronger, he danced two lines before he lost his strength.

A Shiqi said: "Don't your legs hurt? It's my first jumping numbness, and I couldn't get out of bed for more than ten days." Lu Jian scratched his head and said, "I don't know why, I was in so much pain last night, today It's all ready." Ah Shi tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the secret, seeing that the numbness grew taller day by day, Lu Jian also jumped higher and higher, faster and faster.When the hemp seedlings grew into five-foot-high hemp stalks, Ah Shi had long been unable to jump over them, but Lu Jian lightly jumped over two hemp stalks, his body was astonishing, very chic and beautiful.Ah Shi was fascinated, and waited for Lu Jian to jump, and asked him why, but Lu Jian couldn't tell.

"You are born to be amazing!" Ah Shi couldn't help sighing, "Brother always said that innate abilities cannot be learned."

On this day, Lu Jian jumped all the hemp poles in the hemp field, still not satisfied, seeing Ah Shi smiling and standing aside, he couldn't help but wonder, "Princess Ah Shi, why don't you dance anymore?"

A Shi gave him a white look and said angrily, "Big idiot, I can't jump over." Lu Jian said with a smile, "Then I'll come back tomorrow." It will be longer."

Lu Jian said: "So..." Ah Shi didn't wait for him to finish, clapped his hands and laughed, "You didn't lose to Ma, you beat him." Lu Jian suddenly realized, and also laughed.Ashi said: "Lu Jian, you won a big victory, how do you think I will reward you?"

Lu Jian said: "I don't know, you can reward anything you like." Ah Shi smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I've made up my mind and come to you." After that, he hugged Fomalhaut and left.
