Pick up the Dragon

A group of four had a meal at Liu's house. It was really difficult for a two-person family to accommodate such a large group of people. Peng Yu was very discerning and didn't bother him any more, and went straight to the inn in a mighty way - —Other people's house is someone else's house, and he is not comfortable living in it by himself, he would rather go to the inn to burn money.

Young master Peng used the wallet that could buy half of the inn to buy three adjacent upper rooms. Lizhou has been closed for a long time, and the inn can't attract guests. The savior came at a critical time, and his attitude can be imagined , I can't wait to take care of every pore in his body.

So Peng Yu took a warm bath comfortably—unfortunately, he couldn’t find the [-] kinds of precious spices he wanted in Lizhou, so he could only use mugwort leaves instead—and changed into clean clothes, and put his hair on With a priceless hosta, and a sachet hung flamboyantly around his waist, he reorganized his whole body of "waiting to be robbed" bits and pieces, and swaggered out of the house.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Qianyue, and couldn't help being stunned.

The girl had obviously just finished her bath, and she had changed into a fresh outfit. Perhaps it was a hot day, and she was only covered with a layer of tulle, with her fair shoulders faintly visible.A head of long hair hung down, with some wet water stains, hanging down to the waist against the exquisite figure.

Peng Yu stared at her for a while, thinking that this is really his guard?It is clear that she can rely on her appearance for a living, but she still relies on her kung fu. Isn't this girl short-hearted?

Qianyue let him look at him generously, not aware that there was anything wrong with his attire.Maybe it was because the other party had been looking at her for too long, so she hesitated and took out an oiled paper bag, and said politely, "Master, are you hungry? I just bought it from the steamed stuffed bun shop."

Peng Yu: "..."

The smell of steamed buns is fragrant, and the beauty is gone.Peng Yu grinned with toothache, thinking that the girl must have not eaten at noon, and quickly waved his hand to show that he would not compete with her for food.

Qian Yue didn't really want to give it to him at first, and before he handed it to him "meaningfully", he quickly took it back and bit off half of it in front of him.

Good guy, it's still stuffed with leeks.

Peng Yu rolled his eyes silently, and Qian Yue said vaguely with the steamed bun in his mouth, "Mr. Li asked us to go there, saying that he was planning a trip to Anping."

Li Yi was sitting at the table looking down at a sheepskin map he got from somewhere, Jiu Yuan stood behind him and dutifully wiped his head, when he heard the knock on the door, the Dragon King said something without thinking "Enter".

The two people outside the door smelled its "fragrance" before they saw him. Li Yi watched the two "humanoid biochemical weapons" frankly and frankly entered the room with a face full of astonishment. The strong fragrance of the sachet and the chive fragrance of the steamed stuffed bun are "three flavors in one", which did a brutal harm to the sensitive nose of the Dragon King.

He had never thought before that there were several kinds of aromas that could be more suffocating than Chen Zhou's corpse.

Jiu Yuan paused with his fingers, maintained his expressionless face, and decisively turned off his sense of smell.

Li Yi endured and endured, almost mobilizing all his self-cultivation as the Dragon King, and finally resisted raising his hand and a gust of wind threw the two of them away.Pretending to be nonchalant, he held his breath and concentrated, and waved to them stiffly: "Come and sit."

Several people gathered around a small table. Peng Yu looked at the map and found it very familiar. It seemed to be a special model for his caravan.Looking at it again, I saw two small characters tattooed on the corner of the map - "Ding Mao", and instantly understood.

Borrowed from Fatty Jin, the Dragon King's claws are really fast.

The fixed caravan of the Peng family will be equipped with a fixed map. The one in front of me mainly draws the area of ​​Anping, which is marked in every detail.Li Yi drew a virtual circle around Anping and Chenzhou with his finger: "Look, what do you think it looks like?"

Chenzhou is in the north, Anping is in the south, and the Wei River runs through the middle.Peng Yu stroked his chin and said, "Tai Chi?"

Li Yi nodded, and repeated the semicircle on the north bank of the Weishui River: "This range is exactly the range that is infested by the pests, right?"

Peng Yu stared at the map, and went through the place names on it one by one in his mind-these days are the days when the caravans return to Peng's house one after another in mid-January, and news from all sides is also delivered. After comparing in his mind, He nodded: "That's right."

Xianzhou is also within this range.

Li Yi moved his finger to the semicircle south of the Weishui River: "Then this area..."

"After crossing the Weishui River, there will be no pests," Peng Yu said, "There is no such thing as Anping Huazhou, it is very clean."

The Weishui River is like a barrier, blocking the plague on the north bank of the water.But the formation of this barrier is unclear, even a bit unimaginable-the kind of insects are born by water, and once they reach the Wei River, they are bound to be sent further away by the current. How can there be any reason why water exists in the north but not in the south?

"Let's assume this is a 'Tai Chi'," Li Yi pointed to Xianzhou on the map, "Xianzhou is located in the south of Ji Mountain and north of the Weishui River. "Yin soil", the semicircle north of the entire Wei River is the "Yin array", and Chenzhou is in the center of the "Yin array", it should be the eye of the Yin array."

"Wait a minute, wait a moment," Peng Yu interrupted him with a look of confusion on his face, "Speak slowly, what is it all about, what are the 'Yang eyes' and 'Yin array', can you speak human words? ?”

Li Yi stretched out his hand to support his forehead, seemed a little helpless, and coughed lightly after a long while: "Okay, then let me put it another way."

He asked Peng Yu for a copper coin, and the eye of the copper coin was resting on the "Xianzhou": "Suppose that there is a rare 'ore' in the area covered by the copper coin, and all the 'worms' are like a caravan." '."

Peng Yu grinned, feeling that this metaphor was really inappropriate.

"Your caravan has dug enough ore, what to do next? Vendors, right? They want to exchange this 'ore' into common coins," he put down a few fragments near "Anping" Silver, "but the mines only have mines and no money. They can only go to the south of the Wei River to find buyers, sell the ore, and exchange for gold and silver."

Peng Yu nodded.

Li Yi picked up the pieces of silver and handed them to him one by one: "In this way, the 'ore' from the north of the Weishui River was transported to the south of the Weishui River, where it was 'consumed' by the 'buyers' here, or accumulated here. .”

He squeezed a pinch of tea leaves from the tea box, and sprinkled a semicircle with "Anping" as the center.

"This is 'ore', and your caravan has finished selling goods, so there is no need to stay here. That's why there are no 'worms' in Anping."

Jiu Yuan suddenly interjected: "Then what is the 'ore'? According to this statement, what did the 'worm' transport to Anping?"

"It's hard to say now," Li Wei shook his head, "I only know that it must be related to the spirit-binding array, maybe it's the 'soul', maybe..."

wrong.

It's not the soul, it should be something more common than the soul. After all, that kind of worm not only eats carrion, but also parasitizes the body of living people and even domestic animals.Moreover, the "soul" was trapped in the spirit-binding formation, and was not transported to the south of the Wei River along with the "worm".

He suddenly remembered his experience in the water prison that day, and Liu Zhongqing's sentence "that big formation can intensify people's inner emotions".

Is it "emotion"?But if it is emotion, how can it be "transported"?

The Teng Snake represents the Yin soil, and the entire Yin Array consumes its mana, except for Xianzhou, all of which are "mining" areas.Xianzhou could have been spared from the infestation of the "worm", but because his shocking blow disturbed the water veins, the worm took advantage of the gap to enter.

That night when he was wandering around Xianzhou, he felt a very weak "righteousness" here, and the mountains and rivers are yang, which is a unique "yang eye".If this is the case, then Xianzhou was a key link in the initial layout to check and balance the Yin-Yang formation.

Now he inadvertently destroyed this "key", causing turmoil in the entire formation, forcing the opponent to give up the formation, guiding them to destroy the formation, preventing the formation from getting out of control, so as to preserve the existing harvest and avoid unsustainable damage. Necessary loss?

If that's the case, if there is a snake in the yin formation, Gouchenjiao must be near Anping.

After Qian Yue finished eating the buns, he stood by and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I have a question."

Li Yi nodded to her: "You ask."

"Yin and Yang are relative. Since Xianzhou has Yang eyes in the south of the mountain and the north of the water, then the Yin eye should be in the north of the mountains and the south of the river, right? Huazhou is north of Mount Hua and south of the Wei River. According to the theory of 'Yin and Yang conflict', there is no Yin in Xianzhou." Worms, then there should be worms in Huazhou. But just now the young master said, there are no worms in Huazhou."

Li Yi looked at her in surprise, but she didn't expect this girl to be quite flexible. She knew how to infer other cases from one instance, so she couldn't help but slightly hooked the corners of her mouth: "How can you be sure that there are no insects in Huazhou? Maybe there are, but they are lurking. I just don't know."

Qian Yue tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, it seems to make sense, just like people feel sleepy when they are full, and insects have to rest when they are full. Is that what it means?"

"Rest?" Li Wei didn't expect this, and couldn't help asking, "That is to say, most of the 'satisfied' insects are hibernating in the ground to rest... Then what are they going to do when they have had enough rest?" ?”

Qian Yue shrugged at him.

Li Yi gently gathered the pinch of tea leaves to "Huazhou", and tapped the table with his fingers.He suddenly thought of something and looked at Peng Yu suddenly.

Just now they mentioned a word - "eye".

Peng Yu once said that he was really blind before, and the monks of Zhaoyun Temple opened the light so that he could see during the day.Zhaoyun Temple—"Zhao", it is in Xianzhou, and Xianzhou is the yang eye, so does the "yin eye" in Huazhou also have some kind of power, which can cure his night blindness?

Yin and Yang, Qian and Kun, are all these just coincidences?

Peng Yu was inexplicably looked at by him, and he almost felt a little on his back. He couldn't help raising his hand and scratching his face: "What do you see me doing? What's on my face?"

Li Yi looked away, pretended to be nonchalant, twisted his fingertips, and smelled it by the way—the smell of tea and copper coins was mixed together, and the smell was really boring.So he coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Can you... can you take off the sachet on your body?"

The corners of Peng Yu's eyes twitched, and he really didn't understand how the flames of war burned on him. At the same time, he felt that this dragon king was really unreasonable: "Why? You don't like the smell, and you don't like the smell? It's too difficult to serve."

As he said so, he untied the sachet from his waist, casually hung it on his fingertips and twirled it twice, then turned his head and handed it to Qian Yue: "Send it to you?"

Qian Yue was licking the corners of his mouth, looking at the sachet, and shrinking his neck invisibly: "I still think steamed buns are more fragrant."

Young Master Peng only felt that his aesthetics had been greatly insulted, and he didn't want to talk to these two anymore. He put the sachet and brought back the previous topic: "According to what you mean, we will definitely not go to Anping this time. Is it too peaceful? Then should I inform the Liu family and tell them not to go to Songzimiao?"

Li Yi gave a short "um": "Even if I go, I won't be able to conceive."

The [-]-year-old Dragon King has nothing to hide, this couple really has it.Peng Yu understood the meaning of his words, and got up immediately: "That's okay, I'll go now before it's dark."

Qian Yue immediately followed after hearing the words: "Young Master, I will accompany you."

Just as Peng Yu thought that his guards were really obedient and knew how to protect the young master's safety, before he could show a rewarding smile, the girl raised a finger: "I think the buns are delicious, and I want to buy two more .”

Peng Yu: "..."

None of these people are reliable!

The indescribable taste finally dissipated as the two left. Jiu Yuan opened the window to ventilate. Seeing his Dragon King frowned tiredly, he couldn't help but ask, "King?"

Li Yi didn't pay attention to him, but let out a breath slowly, and said inaudibly: "If his eyes are really..."

His throat choked for no reason, the second half of the sentence swirled around in his mouth, and he swallowed it back silently.

If so, is he going to wait for those people to dig...or do it himself?
