Chapter 11
"It doesn't hurt to listen to it." Shangguan Chouchou couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, looked at the half-hidden door of the side hall, put away the iron box containing the treasure, and walked in.

Seeing Shangguan Chouchou walk into the room, Yue Bulai stood up despite his limp, and respectfully bowed to Shangguan Chouchou.

"Brother Shangguan, I'm really sorry. I'm still trying to win back what was already a done deal. I didn't say anything. This is playing a rogue. It's also the fact that my fighting spirit has been exhausted over the years, and I don't have the blood of my youth. .” Yue Bulai explained with shame on his face.

"If you have anything to say, just talk about it, don't beat around the bush." ​​Shangguan Chouchou said calmly, not knowing what this middle-aged man was going to do.

Yue Bulai nodded, leaned back on the chair, and raised his left prosthetic leg, there was actually a mechanism on it.

Yue Bulai drew it down with his hand according to a specific arc, and then knocked heavily, the mechanism opened in response, but he saw that the whole prosthetic leg was divided into two halves and completely disassembled.Yue Bulai completely stripped off the parts of the mechanism, leaving only one thing wrapped in unknown leather.

Yue Bulai put his hand on the leather tail and yanked it violently.

The entire side hall was suddenly enveloped by a faint green light.After the light was released, it gradually disappeared, and finally only a shallow layer was left, still lingering on Yue Bulai's palm.

Yue Bulai spread out his palm, and there was a small dagger lying in his palm, the length was no more than the width of his palm, and it was half shorter than the daggers commonly found in iron shops in Jinxiu City, no wonder it could be held with one hand.Yue Bulai placed the dagger under the glazed tile.Sunlight penetrated through the glazed tiles and shot straight on the dagger.

Shangguan Chouchou took a step forward and saw a green pearl inlaid on the dagger.That pearl is very similar to the one on the hosta, it is also reunited with green light under the sunlight, and it splits into two halves in an instant, one half forms a Chinese character for '午', and the other half is also a Chinese character for 'Pawn'.

This time the word 'Wu Zu' appeared on the pearl.

Shangguan Chouchou couldn't help being surprised, and carefully compared it with the jade hairpin that Yue Bulai took out.

Both the dagger and the hosta glowed with a faint green light.Both are studded with pearls.The size and color of the pearls are exactly the same, as if they were printed from the same mold.

On the jade hairpin, "Youzu" appeared, and on the dagger, "Wuzu".Shangguan Chouchou rolled his eyes and couldn't help thinking of the twelve zodiac signs.

The twelve zodiac signs are also called the twelve earthly branches in the folk, and they are twelve "Zichou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen You Xu Hai".

The twelve hours of the day are also marked by these twelve characters.Both the Wu character and the You character come from the twelve characters.

Yue Bulai signaled Shangguan Chouchou to take the dagger for a closer look.

Shangguan Chouchou took it immediately, but as soon as he held the handle of the dagger, he felt a little hot on it.And when he lightly touched the blade of the dagger and almost threw the dagger out of his hand, the dagger was actually very hot.Touch again, still the same.

This is a bit unbelievable. I often hear people say that all weapons are killing things, and they are born with a sense of coldness.If you see a bloody weapon, it will often be contaminated with some Yin Qi, and the blade must be cold.But this dagger is just the opposite, as if it has been exposed to the sun in the summer afternoon, if it is a little hotter, it can be used to roast sweet potatoes.

Shangguan Chouchou was full of doubts, but he still laughed and said: "Oh, it seems that the word 'drunk' on the jade hairpin is really not a word for 'drunk'. The one on the jade hairpin is You pawn, and the one on the dagger is Wu pawn. Could it be that the drunk fairy is still a Soldiers, since when did our country of Shu have women in the army?"

Yue Bulai quickly interrupted his nonsense, and said in a serious manner: "Little brother Shangguan, since I have revealed the last secret, I will not hide anything from you anymore. I will definitely tell you the cause and effect of this matter." Make it clear. Just listen carefully and don't talk nonsense."

Shangguan Chouchou couldn't help being embarrassed for a while, and said embarrassingly: "Well, please tell me."

Yue Bulai nodded and said: "Then let me first talk about how I met these two things."

Yue Bulai stroked his thoughts, and began to talk about the origin of the two things.

Back then in the small town under Feihu Mountain, Yue Bulai really saved an old man who was dying.After being rescued, he remained patient and served him well for most of the day.Later, seeing that the old man had recovered, Yue Bulai fumbled for the dice in his arms, and couldn't help but want to gamble again.

The town under Feihu Mountain is not a bustling town, there is only one simple inn in the whole town.

The inn is managed by the shopkeeper's family. The shopkeeper is an honest businessman, and he doesn't bully the guests just because there is only one shop in the whole town.His shop is always clean and comfortable.The front yard is turned into a restaurant, which is convenient for tourists to have a meal.The backyard is converted into a guest room, which is convenient for tourists to rest.

Yue Bulai left the guest room, with a silver bag on his shoulders, playing with dice in his hand, and walked into the front yard wobbly, just in time to see the youngest son of the shopkeeper busy cleaning the table in front of the shop.

Yue Bulai stopped him immediately, rewarded him with a consistent copper coin, and asked him to help take care of the old man, while he impatiently went out to gamble.

This bet lasted from noon when the sun was high, to sunset the next day.At last his conscience was not eaten by dogs.While gambling, he suddenly forgot about the old man, and after winning another game, he put away his money and left the casino satisfied.On the way back, I leisurely bought two bags of sauced beef and a pot of shochu.

As soon as I entered the inn, I saw the shopkeeper passing the dishes in the front yard, very busy.

"Why doesn't your second boy come to help?" Yue Bulai stepped forward to talk.

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face and said: "I don't know where that kid went wild today, sir, please sit down for a while, if you can't wait, go directly to the back kitchen and tell my mother-in-law what you want to eat, and make it right away." Went to another table to get busy.

After gambling all day, Yue Bulai was really tired. He looked at the beef and shochu in his hand, and instead of waiting for food in the front yard, he wandered to the backyard.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and the white clouds in the sky carried the last ray of light from the west, and a vague brilliance emerged in the sky.

With this smear of light from the sky, even without a candle, you can barely find your way.

Yue Bulai groped his way to his own room, opened the door and walked forward, almost tripped over.Seeing a person collapsed in front of the door, Yue Bulai was startled at first, thinking that the old man had rolled on the ground.Hastily helped the person on the ground up, and as soon as he touched it, he realized that this person was definitely not an old man, and then he felt that his body was cold and his whole body was stiff.

Yue Bulai suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he was so frightened that he immediately threw him back to the ground.He tremblingly took out the fire pocket on his body, shook it twice in the air, bright sparks flashed on the fire pocket, and with the dim light of the sparks, Yue Bulai immediately saw clearly that the person lying on the ground was the youngest son of the shopkeeper .

As soon as he breathed out, this kid had been dead for a long time, Yue Bulai felt his scalp was numb, his heart was about to explode, he was about to shout, but his mouth was tightly covered by a person, and immediately he felt something pressed against his neck I stopped, I didn't feel pain, it was just uncomfortably hot.

Yue Bulai heard a sound of inhalation at the back of his head, just like the inhalation sound of taking a deep breath of rice before serving a meal.But when I heard it in such a dark environment, I felt a chill in my heart and chills all over my body.

Fortunately, after the person behind inhaled, he put away the thing that was on Yue Bulai's neck.

"The smell is very similar, you brought me here?" The man's voice was hoarse but clear, like a saw was sawing wood while another knife holder was grinding on the saw.

Yue Bulai's ears hurt from the sound, and he didn't know whether it was shocked or pricked by the sound.But this didn't affect his thinking. He already guessed that the person behind it might be the old man, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes! I'm using ginseng to renew your old life."

"Huh!" The man said in a cold tone: "Because you used ginseng, I was almost killed by the kid on the ground. I don't know how to show my wealth, what a stick." Saying that, he let Yue Bulai go, By the way, he picked up the beef bought by Yue Bulai and chewed it.

Yue Bulai looked back, he was surprised and surprised, the effect of ginseng must be too good, at this time the old man was full of energy, there was no trace of sickness.

I remember that the old man had just breathed a sigh of relief yesterday, his body was still not stable, and he might die at any time.But now he was able to chew beef and drink soju.The movement is smooth, like a youth.

In Shu Kingdom, fairy tales were widely spread, and Yue Bulai had heard countless fairy tales since he was a child. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he couldn't help but regard the old man as a fairy.

"This celestial family must have pretended to be dead to test me on purpose, so that he can easily lead me away. This is not what celestial fate is." Yue Bulai quickly suppressed his excitement, knelt on the ground and prostrated: "Old fairy , I finally see you, accept me as your disciple."

"Are you so sure that I'm a fairy?" The old man tilted his head and looked at him strangely with sideways eyes.

Yue Bulai didn't dare to raise his head, he prostrated himself on the ground piously and replied: "If you are not a god, how could you be so quick in a blink of an eye."

The old man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "When did you meet me?"

Yue Bulai's expression became more pious: "The young one saw the old fairy outside the bamboo forest at the foot of Feihu Mountain at dawn yesterday."

The old man laughed and said, "Boy, why don't you think I'm a ghost?"

Yue Bulai was startled, and hurriedly buried his head lower, showing an extremely pious look, using this to press his stomach tightly to the ground, feeling that the "Tai Chi Yin Yuyu" was still hidden close to his body, with a great deal of determination in his heart, He replied with a smile: "Your old man is immortal, with fluttering white hair and extraordinary bearing, how could you be a ghost?"

"Who says ghosts can't be immortal, but I'm not a ghost." The old man swallowed the wine and was putting meat into his mouth, when he suddenly remembered something, his eyes widened and he shouted: "You just said What? White hair?"

Without waiting for Yue Bulai's answer, the old man took off the headband, and the white hair on the top of his head suddenly fell away.The old man's face suddenly became frightened and ferocious, and he screamed, really like a ghost.I only heard him muttering to himself: "Beard and hair become silver, yang energy is exhausted, yin energy is not replenished, and the end is approaching..."

The old man stayed there for a while.

Seeing that the old man was so ferocious, Yue Bulai didn't dare to approach him, but just crawled on the ground without saying a word.

In a guest room in a small town, a ghostly old man was in a daze, a strong man was crawling in the room, and a dead body was still lying by the door, but tonight the cool breeze was blowing, and the candles in the room seemed to be extinguished. , the situation in the house is really weird.

 All guest officials, take a look, take a look, those who have votes vote, those who don't have votes to collect.
