Rebirth of Beigu Sirius

Speaking of today's five factions, among the young disciples of this generation, although there are quite a lot of bastards who are considered scourges, there are also many role models.

Speaking of bastards who cause harm, naturally refers to the idle and incompetent faction represented by Situ Lin and Yun Zhuo; as for the benchmarks, one has to mention a certain Jianghu anecdote based on the public's reputation and various martial arts. "Lingyun Five Masters".

Since he is said to be the five heroes, he must be an outstanding person among his peers.Patriarch Yun Shao is mature and steady, while Tao Shao Palace master is calm and indifferent, and they are both young and accomplished, prudent and courteous, they must be among them.And the remaining three people are the "Three Sages of Zhongnan" who once married Jinlan in Zhongnan Mountain.

The three sages are arranged according to their seniority, the elder brother is Li Che, the third younger is Qing Luo, and the second elder among them happens to be Yun Zhuo's second elder brother——Yun Chen.

Yunchen and Yunhua are the twins of the old Patriarch.Perhaps because he was robbed of nutrition by his elder brother in the mother's womb, the second son of Wuling suffered from deficiencies since he was a child.Even if the old patriarch invited famous doctors, there was no way to recover, so he had to be sent to Guanyin Mountain with pain, and became an apprentice of a worldly medical fairy.

And because of his years of practice in seclusion in the mountains, the second son of Yun is proficient in piano and sword, and is better at medical science. He is indifferent and elegant, calm and undisputed.Therefore, the reputation of the world is quite high, and the name of Bai Zejun, the medical fairy, has spread far and wide.

Yun Chen had come here to pick up news for the festival, so he shouldn't have run into the three of them.Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly and ended early, and when he was about to return, he heard that a nearby village had been plagued by demons, so he simply went to find out what happened, and in order to do his best, he collided with an acquaintance who also came to exterminate the demons is on.

Reunited in a foreign land, and with the same purpose, the four hit it off and simply investigated together.

According to the previous clues, there have been four murder cases involving demons and wounding people since half a year.After a brief discussion, they decided to divide their work, and went out to investigate the next morning. At dusk, they came back one after another.

But when he sat down indoors, he was able to put these cases together, and found that there were many strange things and many suspicious points among the little demons.

First of all, the latter three cases are basically the same. All the newlyweds and men encountered ghost fog on the way to get married and died near the river.

But apart from that, the first case that Li Che investigated was the beginning of the four cases of marriage and death. Although at first glance it seemed like a couple died in vain, it was quite different from the other three cases.

Firstly, the bridegroom in this case was mutilated by wild animals, his bones were incomplete, and blood was everywhere. There is no such thing as "no blood at all". The face and the state of the corpse are also very different from those of the other dead.

For such a result, there seems to be only one explanation, that is, the bride's body has entered the animal's mouth with bones and flesh. This first case is also an accident of a wild animal attacking people. Listed together, confusing audiovisual.

However, if it is said that it was a sneak attack by a wild beast, there is another strange thing in this case: the golden hairpin worn by the bride was found by the river, and there was a ghost on it, but after a while, most of it disappeared, and the source could not be found. .

Affected by demon breath or maimed by wild beasts, the two can only choose one, and there is almost no possibility of coexistence.In this way, the seemingly reasonable speculation becomes untenable.After checking the findings, the truth became more and more confusing and confusing, and everyone fell into a stalemate for a while.

"Oh, what is it?"

After being silent for a while, Yun Zhuo scratched his head and sighed: "At first I thought it was just a common evil disease...how come so many mysteries are still being contradicted?"

"Yes, now it seems that the relationship between these four is indeed unclear, and there are no other clues, so I am at a loss."

After listening to the clues, Li Che also sighed, turned to think for a moment, and looked at Situ Lin: "Junior Brother Ruzhi, you have always been keen, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"There is, but it's not about the first case."

Situ Lin pondered for a moment, then thought: "The state of the deceased in the last three cases is a bit like a kind of ghost recorded in an old book in our family. Do you have any impression, brother?"

"……Um?"

Hearing this, Li Che frowned, thought for a while, and then raised his eyes: "Junior Brother, you mean, Senior Gu's writing is a half-human, half-ghost thing that needs to be nourished by the blood of living people?"

Situ Lin nodded.

Yun Zhuo was confused when he heard it: "Half-human, half-ghost? What do you mean?"

Situ Lin said: "The ancestors of our sect once practiced the art of ghosts. According to his book, people who are weak and dying and contaminated with ghost energy may temporarily live in the world in a half-human, half-ghost state, but the blood does not flow. , the breath is stagnant, and you need to continue to live with the blood of the living in order not to die."

"Hiss, renewing life with blood, is there such a thing?"

Having practiced medicine for many years, he has never heard of such crooked ways. Yun Chen frowned when he heard the words: "Could it be that according to what you said, these last three cases are all half-human, half-ghost life-extending behaviors?"

"Probably."

Li Che thought: "But what's the use of knowing this? Right now, we only have a golden hairpin that can't find out the source of the breath, how can we continue to investigate."

Situ Lin raised his hand: "Don't talk about this in a hurry, I think there is another unsolved doubt in these cases besides this."

The three of them all looked at him when they heard the words: "What is unsolved?"

"The number is wrong."

Situ Lin said: "If I remember correctly, Grandpa Gu wrote in his book that the method of extending life can last for more than two months with one person's blood. But in just half a year, at least six people's blood has been taken away." After sucking it dry, I wonder if there are two people in this monster."

These words are very reasonable, and Li Che nodded in agreement, but Yun Zhuo muttered, and frowned: "Ah? One monster is uncomfortable enough, why are there two more? And what happened to the first case doesn't matter. I know, how can I get rid of this demon..."

Yun Chen also nodded, and sighed: "Yes, let alone now, we are in the Ming family and secretly in the dark, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with?"

"Not necessarily."

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Situ Lin rolled his eyes suddenly: "I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

Li Che nodded: "Junior Brother, it's okay to say."

Situ Lin said: "Since the evidence is limited, the case is unclear, and we can't find the monster. Why don't we create a new case and let him come to us?"

"A new case... Junior Brother said, find someone to marry again?"

Li Che frowned: "This is not easy to handle, right? The village has suffered such a tragedy, young men and women have already gone elsewhere, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled. Where can we find a bride and groom who are willing to take this risk?"

"stubborn."

Situ Lin slapped his legs on the stool indiscriminately, and talked about his crooked moves in a serious manner: "Why are you looking for the villagers! They don't have martial arts skills. Wouldn't it be troublesome to be caught by that monster? Let's act it out ourselves. "

"What do you mean?"

Yun Zhuo raised his eyes in surprise: "We four big men? Can we still perform a farce of fake relatives to lure that monster?"

"Well, Ruzi can be taught."

Situ Lin nodded, and immediately patted him on the shoulder: "You and I, dressed in wedding clothes, pretended to be married, and used them as bait to lure you; the two of them, followed behind and ambush... don't care if he's half-ghost or half-demon, he's bleeding like a river There is still no blood. Soldiers come to cover them with water and earth, and when the four have martial arts, are they afraid that they will not be able to catch a monster?"

"What, what?!"

When Yun Zhuo heard the words, he was very surprised: "Let's not care whether it is dangerous or not...why are you and I pretending to be married?"

"Hey, I'm asking... Isn't it for our safety that I arranged this way?"

Situ Lin patted the table, solemnly: "Others have high martial arts skills, if you let them act in a play, if the time comes and you can't beat the monster with your hands tied, can we save it with our three-legged cat kung fu?"

After a pause, he added another sentence: "But on the other hand, if the two of us were plotted by that monster in the open, and senior brother and Bai Zejun were in the dark, we must be able to find a way to save the day, right?"

"This……"

In terms of martial arts qualifications, it is true that this is more secure, and in terms of the current situation, it is true that this dangerous move can still be tried.But when he thought that he hadn't even touched the girl's hand, he wanted to get married with the man first, even though the other party had a deep relationship with him and had a strong relationship, Yun Zhuo was still beating his heart.

Confused in his heart, he quietly glanced at Yunchen and Liche who were at the side, and found that his second brother was silent when he heard the sound, and thought for a moment, his expression remained unchanged; Criticism, but I couldn't think of a better idea to refute for a while.

"Why, you don't agree?"

Seeing the person in front of him looking left and right with hesitation on his face, Situ Lin narrowed his eyes and understood.

Then, without waiting for Yun Zhuo's answer, he sighed in a pretentious manner, reached out his hand to feel from his bosom as planned, and took out a slender thing in a moment - it was the white jade hairpin.

The purple-clothed boy stuck out his tongue, followed suit, and cried hypocritically: "Mother, Aunt Zhuo. You see, Yun Zhuo just thought I didn't listen to him, but now, he doesn't listen to me either..."

what? !

After being sent back to the first army by the same route as in the disciple's room, Yun Zhuo finally realized it.I was about to swear without thinking, but when I looked up, I saw the surprised gazes of the two remaining elders, and I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles, and my veins twitched.

He got up in a "bass", hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the chattering mouth, and said in a low voice: "Situ Lin, why are you still learning from cats and tigers?"

The person whose name was called nodded confidently.

"……you."

It's a bit embarrassing to use the dead person's tricks to make fun of this kind of trick, and your own people will pay it off. If you continue to toss around in front of others, it will be a bit embarrassing.

What's more, that other person is still my own brother!

Even if Situ Lin doesn't want to lose face, his second brother is also gentle, but if he leaks his words afterwards and let his elder brother and father know, wouldn't it be really ruined? !

After a stalemate for a while, Yun Zhuo looked at the hairpin, and then at the two onlookers who were confused about the situation. After weighing up and down, he decided to give up for the time being.

But in the end, holding the man's last dignity, he decided to bargain with Situ Lin: "I said, it's fine to pretend to be a newcomer, but we've made a deal, I won't pretend to be a bride!"

This is no nonsense, a big man wears a skirt, so embarrassing.

"no problem."

Unexpectedly, the man who is also a man is not ashamed at all, clasping his palms covering his mouth with both hands, blowing hot air and nodding happily: "Bride, I will pretend to be."

"what?"

The promise was too forthright, Yun Zhuo didn't really believe it, for fear that the person would have another trick: "That, that, then we can agree, whoever doesn't pretend to be a dog at that time!"

"to make."

Situ Lin pushed his hand down: "Why don't you just wear a skirt and cover your head, who is afraid of whom? Just wait, I promise to satisfy you, my husband."

"Oh, Junior Brother Ruzhi."

The two people involved reached a consensus. Looking at his mischievous junior, Li Che could only smile wryly: "Although it is necessary for exorcising demons, there is no need to make fun of Young Master Yun like this."

"Hey, brother, what you said is wrong."

Situ Lin waved his hands and said casually: "This is not a joke, this is a way to enhance our relationship... Besides, we can't think of a better way for a while, right?"

Li Che was speechless, shaking his head and sighing.

"Yu Jin, that's all."

Second Master Yun has always been gentle and refined, and when he saw the awkward atmosphere between the two seniors, he hurried up to smooth things over: "Young Master Situ, you may try this method. My family Qianxuan has a good relationship with him, even if he is a bit pampered, he can't bear to joke like that." .”

"Hey, look, it's better for Mr. Bai Ze to treat my 'new daughter-in-law' better!"

Situ Lin clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, learn a little bit, don't you really think of me as 'the water thrown out by a married brother'?"

"What a mess, try talking nonsense again?!"

It was clearly a fake show of exorcising demons, but the more this person talked about it, the more outrageous he was, he slapped the table to signal silence.After pondering for a while, he pointed to the junior brother who was sitting in front of him and said seriously: "Okay, that's it for today. Tomorrow, Yebai and I will go buy what this fake relative needs. You two should be honest, especially you. Did you hear me!"

Seeing people get angry, Situ Lin hurriedly followed suit: "No problem, no problem, brother, I promise to be honest, I promise to be honest!"

However, speaking honestly and sincerely, in fact, in the dictionary of the two little bastards, this word does not exist at all.

The so-called "do not fight for three days, go to the house to remove the tiles", from the early morning of the next day, the two elder brothers in charge set out to buy, and the two teenagers who let the wind completely forget what they said yesterday, and ran around the village as soon as they put on their clothes. Just like this, taking advantage of half a day's leisure in Fusheng, they started to play leisurely and leisurely.

Yun Zhuo has lived in a mansion in the mountains since he was a child, and has servants to serve food and clothing. He rarely sees the scenery of the fields in the countryside. When he meets him this time, he is naturally very curious. The farm children plan vegetables and dig mud, and steal chickens and dogs.It's a pity that the fields in this village are so barren, and there are no chickens or dogs. The older brother has no choice but to take the boy for a stroll, but still has nothing to gain. In the end, he only found a dozen shriveled sweet potatoes that no one wanted in the muddy field, and retracted them to the courtyard. Li stared wide-eyed.

"Hey, I said, this village is too poor."

Yun Zhuo wiped the mud covered half of his face with his sleeve, and with the other hand, he threw the sweet potato that he had been holding in his arms for a long time on the brick floor in the yard, and said mournfully, "Brother Lin, look at it, after digging for a long time, it's just like this." Something is hard, cold and muddy, and you don’t even know how to cook it, so what’s the point of eating it?”

"Pfft, you... don't know how to eat sweet potatoes?"

Behind him, Situ Lin, who was walking slowly, also threw the sweet potato in his arms to the ground, and the long and thin strips stained with black mud had distinct roots, kicking up dust on the ground.

"I just don't know, what?"

Yun Zhuo squatted down and clapped his hands, and hummed confidently: "Anyway, the cook made it for me at home, how about you?"

"That's naturally not as good as you, young master."

Situ Lin smiled: "But it's half a catty, as for me, it's all done for me by my senior."

"Humph."

Hearing that the other party is also a second-generation ancestor who does not touch Yang Chunshui, Yun Zhuo folded his arms in peace of mind: "Both each other! No one can talk about anyone else."

"Hiss, maybe... Although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs run away."

Situ Lin picked up a lump of mud casually, looked at it and said, "If I remember correctly, seniors usually eat it roasted."

"baked?"

Yun Zhuo raised his feet and was about to go to the kitchen: "Then, let's try? Looking for pots, firewood, and fire?"

"Wait a minute."

Situ Lin grabbed him by the collar and sighed, "Don't go, there is no pot in this dilapidated house, and I lighted the candles."

"Huh? No pot?"

The dilapidated kitchen was really empty, and the stove seemed to be sealed before the owner left.Yun Zhuo shrank back discouraged, looking at the "black mud strip" rolling all over the ground.

He sighed: "Then what to do, dry roast?"

Situ Lin nodded. Anyway, the disciples of the Immortal Family are good at controlling fire, so it is not necessary to use flint to start a fire. He picked one up in a dignified manner, waved his fingers, and recited the formula aloud.

After a while, the sweet potato really "Zizi" ignited a flame, but it was too strong, but seeing a ball of red and yellow light, it crackled and burned the contents to black, and the small courtyard suddenly billowed with smoke.

"Damn! You've seen pigs running! The heat is wrong, it's burnt!"

Seeing that the fire was getting hotter and hotter, and the sweet potatoes were in danger, Yun Zhuo quickly squeezed a water trick and poured it on it with a "chiliu" sound: "Hurry up, hurry up, put out the fire! Don't burn the yard!"

"What? It's just blurred..."

Water and fire mixed in his hands, and white smoke rose straight away. Situ Lin was very angry, and he made a gesture to put the half-burned sweet potato under Yun Zhuo's feet: "If you say I can't, then you try?"

"Try it and try it, who doesn't know how to fire."

Yun Zhuo rolled up his sleeves and rolled his arms, carefully squeezed a flame that was half the length of a finger, and began to burn slowly with a thin fire that was completely different from that person.

"Okay, stop!"

After watching for a while, the pitiful fire not only failed to cook the sweet potatoes, but disappeared when the wind blew it away, Situ Lin quickly reached out to stop him: "My third young master! You'd better stop doing it... as you do, I won’t be able to bake it well in my next life.”

"Why can't it be cooked?!"

After being teased by others, Yun Zhuo was furious, and threw the half sweet potato to Situ Lin: "Then, then you continue!"

Not to be outdone, Situ Lin pinched a big fire formula and threw it upwards: "I'll come, I'll come! Watch!"

……

Repeatedly, the two half-baked ancestors danced around for several hours, and finally wasted more than half of the dozen sweet potatoes.In the end, it was short and tall, and barely picked out five or six edible ones, and with the scorched black skin, it crouched under the courtyard wall and gnawed one bite at a time.

"The failure rate is too high, and it doesn't taste good."

Yun Zhuo gestured and shook his head with half of the indistinguishable thing: "Bai Xin's sweet potato noodles are too dry, but Hong Xin's is better."

Situ Lin rolled his eyes at him: "Tsk, you, do you still choose your color when you eat sweet potatoes?"

Yun Zhuo said confidently: "I, I have never eaten white-hearted sweet potatoes since I was a child! If it weren't for the only white-hearted sweet potatoes in this village, I, I would definitely..."

"Hello, two young masters."

When the two of you were talking nonsense, a hoarse greeting suddenly came from the door. It was an old man who was attracted by the fragrance, bowed his body and bowed his hands to the two of them.

The man had pale lips, staggered steps, and ragged clothes, but held a delicately carved wooden box in his arms, looking at them eagerly.

Yun Zhuo looked up suspiciously: "You are?"

The old man said: "The old man is a wanderer, passing through this village, hungry, and wants to ask the young master for food."

"Uh……"

Respecting and respecting the elderly is a big truth that has been told since childhood. Others are hungry, and I have extra food here. It is said that there is no reason not to help, but Yun Zhuo glanced at the "coke sweet potato" stall under the ground, feeling embarrassed.

"As long as...you don't dislike it?"

Seeing the old man nodding his head, he knelt down to pick and choose, and found the best looking one with great difficulty, wiped a couple of them and handed them to others.

"Thank you, young man."

The old man put down the wooden box, broke open the sweet potato with both hands, and devoured it in the heat.

"it's okay no problem."

The food I dislike is so delicious to others, seeing the suffering of people's livelihood, and thinking of my picky eating remarks just now, Yun Zhuo scratched his head in embarrassment: "You don't think it tastes bad, just do it."

"How can I despise you, son, sending charcoal in a timely manner."

The hungry and cold old man quickly finished eating the sweet potato, his pale lips regained some color, and he stretched out his hand to slowly open the wooden box: "I will repay this kindness."

——The red paint in the box has almost faded, but the furnishings are neat and tidy. Five or six ten-inch-long wooden dolls are colorful and lifelike.

The old man stood up the lid of the box and used it as a backdrop, then wound a thin thread between his ten fingers and the puppet's hands and feet, and said to the two: "If the young masters don't mind it, I will repay it with a silk-drawing show."

String play?

Seeing the dolls in colorful clothes being set up on the stage, Yun Zhuo finally realized that the old man was a folk puppet artist, who probably came to this village just after wandering around for a living by performing plays.

In general, he had listened to quite a few good plays at home, but they were all songs with only a few gentlemen in the spring and white snow. Now that he encountered such new things from the lower Liba people, he was quite curious.What's more, exchanging a few pieces of coke for a free play listening is really not a loss, so I nodded to the old man and said "Trouble", and sat up quietly listening with the hem of my clothes lifted.

The music starts, the red curtain hangs down, the puppets fly low and jump high, singing babbling.

This play is not new at all, it is still common among folks with talented scholars and beauties, young ladies like scholars are lingering in love, and two frivolous young boys don't know how to do this, so this play really loses its appeal.Situ Lin stared at the beginning of the scene, then he lost his face and turned his head.Although Yun Zhuo was also absent-minded when he heard it, but seeing that one person was able to control several puppets through the curtain, he was a little interested in the method of manipulation. Clap your hands.

"The song is over, the favor has been repaid, so let's leave."

As soon as the lid of the box was closed, the old man cupped his hands and spoke to the two of them.

After eating the sweet potatoes, it was already evening.The two who went to the town did not return, Situ Lin and Yun Zhuo were bored, so they simply went to the house to uncover the tiles and blow the night wind.

"What is the third young master thinking?"

Seeing that people beside him were absent-minded, Situ Lin slapped him casually.

"Think about that play just now."

Yun Zhuo stared at the sky, his loose white hair was blown by the wind, thoughtful.

Situ Lin was slightly surprised: "Uh, do you think it looks good?"

The young master of the rich family has never heard any of the famous operas in the Liyuan, but how can he still like this country opera?

"Uh, no."

Yun Zhuo shook his head: "I was just thinking, the technique of drawing silk is so mysterious, if it is used in martial arts, maybe it is quite powerful?"

Situ Lin looked up at him: "How do you say?"

"With one person's ten fingers, he can control multiple puppets. If the skills are skilled enough, wouldn't one be able to handle at least ten puppets?"

Yun Zhuo squeezed his chin, and said again: "Besides, wooden people are no better than flesh and blood, they will not hurt or bleed, and they will take advantage of a fight."

"It seems to make sense."

Thinking about the dexterous puppet-controlling skill of the old man just now, Situ Lin slightly agreed, and rubbed his white hair tied up by the jade hairpin: "What? Do you still want to practice?"

"Hey, think about it casually, just say it casually."

Yun Zhuo spread his hands, and the evening wind swished into the sleeves of his robe: "The martial arts handed down from my family is swordsmanship, and I can't compete with this thing, so what's the point of learning?"

"Hey, I think so too."

The hand that rubbed the top of the hair went down one by one, Situ Lin grabbed Yun Zhuo's right hand that was held behind his head, and dangled it in front of his eyes.

He laughed and said, "Look at it, look at it, you are so clumsy, how can you learn how to draw threads and carve puppets."

"What do you mean? Who are you calling clumsy?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhuo was slightly annoyed, turned over and pressed Situ Lin under him, humming: "Situ Lin, how dare you say it again?!"

"I said you, clumsy."

Even though he was condescending, Situ Lin was still leisurely, and gently pulled Yun Zhuo's face with one hand: "It's fine if you don't know how to bake sweet potatoes, but now you want to murder, kill, kiss, husband."

"What? Murder your own husband?"

Yun Zhuo's cheeks were bulging, and he slapped off the "evil hand" that was pulling his face: "Didn't it be agreed yesterday that you would pretend to be a bride?"

Situ Lin raised his eyebrows: "I'm pretending to be a bride? Like?"

Yun Zhuo paused every word: "Then, I, just, yes, husband!"

"Oh, you are the husband?"

Situ Lin suddenly realized what he was pretending to do, wrapped his arms around the man's waist, and pulled him with the other hand, rolled him to one place, kicked off a few tiles of the roof.

He blew into Yun Zhuo's ear, and said with a smile, "So, does Mr. Xiang want to have a bridal chamber now?"

"Bah, you!"

Being rubbed left and right, Yun Zhuo felt very shameful, his face was flushed red whether he was pinched or ashamed.

"Si, Tu, Rin!"

Angry and angry, he stretched out his hand and squeaked at the person under him: "Where is your sense of shame?!"

"Haha, shame, heart, ha, yes, haha, what?"

Being scratched, Situ Lin jumped up and down, trying to stop the hand, but Yun Zhuo was determined not to give in, so he worked hard to fight him with dozens of moves.

"... Huh, let's talk about it first, no one is allowed to coward you when we eliminate the demon tomorrow!"

After the moves were dismantled, the roof was in a mess, and the two of them died down. You leaned on the roof crookedly with your shoulders and I with my arms around your waist. Situ Lin looked at the afterglow of the setting sun, and stretched out a finger to gesture.

Yun Zhuo raised his eyes and hummed: "Got it, whoever loves you is a dog!"

Situ Lin didn't take it seriously: "Dog? Aren't you a demon dog?"

"Pooh!"

Yun Zhuo punched him: "How many times do I have to say it! I am a wolf demon!"

Situ Lin chuckled, and reached out to accept the move: "Wolf monster, dog monster, I think they are all similar!"

"Different!"

Yun Zhuo was so angry that he became angry again, turned over and kicked, and the two of them fought again, laughing and cursing.It's just pity for the rubble on the roof, which was not very strong after years, and now it was shaken by the air wave, and it fell down one after another, "crackling" to the ground.

"...Yujin, am I not mistaken?"

Yun Chen, who was carrying big bags and small bags, went to the gate of the small courtyard, and saw the dust and smoke flying on the roof, and the mud and tiles flying around, and was immediately surprised: "Is this roof haunted?"

"What the hell is going on?"

Just thinking about who did it, Li Che shook his head and lamented: "I'm afraid it's my junior brother and your third brother, let's increase our relationship there again."
