Record of Yin and Yang

Although the people who set up the formation escaped and Li Gui sent them away, Gu Jiu and the others hadn't broken the formation yet.After dawn, Dong Xiuying and the others left, and Gu Jiu and the others continued to stay at the mass grave until Haishi at night, and they waited for Fang Beiming to break the formation before leaving.

After returning to the General's Mansion, they stayed for a few more days and performed a ceremony for Dong Xiuying's family and Bai Xue, and this time the matter was completely over.

Dong Xiuying met her second brother by accident, so she was very generous when giving the reward, and gave Fang Beiming a few hundred taels of silver.

Fang Beiming was very excited, and Gu Jiu was also very excited.Since coming out, Gu Jiu has almost figured out the prices in this world. Ordinary people, four or five taels of silver can almost live a year. Even if half of these hundreds of taels of silver is distributed, the rest of the money is enough for them to eat and drink. It's been a long time, and it won't be reduced to the point where I can't even afford noodle soup.

Only Shao Yi remained unmoved, and even smiled mockingly at Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiudun felt bad, and when he said goodbye to the General's Mansion, he and Shao Yi followed Fang Beiming's buttocks, watching him walk all the way to find some sick and leftover money, and finally stopped after half of it was gone.As soon as Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, he saw his master leading them to the front of a shop. There were gossip mirrors and banners hanging in front of the door. It looked like a place selling Taoist items.

The last time I went out to buy things, Gu Jiu didn't come out. Now I just looked around curiously for a while, and saw his master started to buy a lot of props such as talisman paper and cinnabar. Although these things seemed cheap, he was helpless. The quantity required is large, there are many types, and the price of each item is not low.

In a blink of an eye, Gu Jiu saw that her master had spent half of the remaining money until there were only a dozen taels of silver left.

Gu Jiu couldn't put it into words, he looked at the expressionless Shao Yi beside him with sympathy, it was really not easy for Shao Yi to grow up so big with such a prodigal master.

In the end, Fang Beiming carried a bunch of props, and with the dozen or so taels of silver in his pocket, went to the tailor shop to buy two winter clothes for each person. Putting on the donkey, the three master and apprentice left Nanhu County sitting down.

On the cart, Gu Jiu quietly asked Shao Yi: "Brother, have you ever had a donkey cart before?"

Shao Yi nodded: "Yes, I sold it when I had no money."

It is said that people in Taoism commit one of the five disadvantages and three disadvantages. The five disadvantages are "widowed, widowed, lonely, alone, and disabled", and the three disadvantages are "money, life, and power."Gu Jiu's mood was very complicated. He felt that what his master committed should be money, and he would be short of money for the rest of his life.

Shao Yi... Gu Jiu knows very little about Shao Yi, so it is not clear what he will commit.As for himself, Gu Jiu felt that he would have to suffer anyway, worrying and worrying would be useless, and he was quite content with the situation.

The donkey cart swayed out of the border of Nanhu County, taking the same way it came, Gu Jiu asked, "Master, where shall we go next?"

Fang Beiming said, "Go home."

"Huh?" Gu Jiu was at a loss, we are wandering Taoist priests, shouldn't we be wandering around and making the world our home?

Only then did Gu Jiu know that although Fang Beiming said he was a wandering Taoist, they actually had a camp.They are about half a month away from Nanhu County. In a place called Jingling County, there is a Taoist temple, which was inherited by the master Pei Yu and his master from their ancestors. Later, the two went to the underworld, and this Taoist temple arrived. In Fang Beiming's hands, he will take care of it.Fang Beiming and Shao Yi can stay in the Taoist temple for up to ten days a month, and run around at other times.

Fang Bei smiled at Gu Jiu: "Master, if you really want to travel around the world, how can General Dong send me a post?"

Well, it's just that his whereabouts are a little bit uncertain, and it's not really a real wandering around the world.

Going back to the donkey cart was much better than when I came here, but Gu Jiu was also prepared for the donkey cart to be sold at any time.The food was still the same as before, slightly rough dough pancakes, and occasionally stopped, the younger brother would catch them a mouse or a chicken or even a snake, and let them make a tooth sacrifice.Poor little brother, who is so small, but bears the burden of eating meat at home.

On the way back, they walked very slowly, because they needed to earn living expenses. When passing through towns, they had to stay for a day or two, setting up stalls to sell hexagrams, and occasionally turning on an unfamiliar road to inquire about the cloth master in the nearby sect. array of people.

Although Fang Beiming looks very poor, he still has a bit of reputation in Taoism.Back then, no matter whether it was his master or Pei Yu's master and apprentice, they were not unknown people.He once lost three relatives and friends overnight, which caused a great shock in Taoism, but no matter how others asked, Fang Beiming gritted his teeth and refused to say anything. Murdered his own master, but because he had no evidence and had some fellow disciples backing him up, he couldn't do anything about him.

The reason why Fang Beiming didn't say anything was because he was afraid that the matter of the blood evil Yinlong Formation would be leaked again, which would cause even more serious repercussions.After all, not all people in the Taoist sect are good people.

The Taoist who arranged the rising sun dragon formation back then used his own cultivation and merit to lay out the formation with his own strength. When the formation was completed, his head was full of white hair, and his oil was exhausted.The formation was researched by himself, and he should have calculated what bad consequences would result from it, so he only told a few people the location of the formation and asked them to maintain it, and how to arrange it, but he didn't mention a word.

Back then, Fang Beiming and the others were able to break the Blood Demon Yin Dragon Formation, but they couldn't find any records to help them. This formation was completely undetectable when it was not activated. In the end, although it took three lives to break the formation, the key to breaking the formation at that time was The point was on Shao Yi, that is to say, if there was no Shao Yi at that time, even if Fang Beiming was added, all four of them would die, and the formation would still not be broken.

Later, Fang Beiming found a breakthrough point from Shao Yi, which allowed him to find a way to break the formation.

Therefore, inquiring about people can only be inquired secretly.

Gu Jiu changed several sects with Fang Beiming, but no one found out, but he ate a lot of various vegetarian dishes.Gu Jiu couldn't help but think that if he couldn't afford noodle soup again in the future, he could ask his master to go eat and drink under the pretext of visiting fellow students.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu realized that he had realized the truth of Shao Yi's growing up safely. He thought, ten years ago, his master was only a 20-year-old boy, and his ability must not be as good as it is now. With a two-year-old baby, I was short of money again, so I probably had to eat and drink everywhere...

Inquiring while walking like this, it seems that I will arrive in Jingling County in a few days.That evening, Gu Jiu and the others did not find a ruined temple to sleep in, but passed a village instead.

When Fang Beiming stayed in the village, he usually used town house amulets to pay for the accommodation fee. Fortunately, people nowadays basically like to engage in superstition and feudalism when they have something to do.Fang Beiming stepped forward to knock on the door, and the owner who opened the door was a man in his forties, with deep sorrow and resentment piled up between his brows.Fang Beiming explained the purpose of coming, and the other party saw that he was bringing two children, so he hesitated and agreed.

Gu Jiu followed into the yard and took a little look around. This family lived in a green brick house with a quite big yard, and their family background was not bad in this world.

Taking advantage of the time he was looking at, Fang Beiming chatted with the master's family, and learned that the master's family name was Wang, and his name was Dacai, and there was a wife and a daughter in the family.When Fang Beiming and the others came in, his wife Wang Liushi and her daughter Wang Xiaodie stood at the other door and looked at this side.

Gu Jiu's gaze fell on Wang Xiaodie, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old peasant girl, dressed in ordinary but neat clothes, with a simple but delicate bun, and a pretty face, but her face was expressionless and her eyes were a little dull. Looking weird.

After Gu Jiu withdrew his gaze, he couldn't help but look at Wang Xiaodie again, and saw the other's eyeballs suddenly turn, meeting his gaze.

She stared at Gu Jiu quietly, and suddenly raised the corner of her mouth.

Gu Jiu shivered, and Shao Yi pulled his sleeves, "He's in the house."

Gu Jiu turned around and tugged at Shao Yi's sleeve, and leaned into his ear and whispered to him: "Brother, do you think that sister looks a little strange?"

Shao Yi turned his head to look, but Wang Xiaodie had already turned around and entered the room, her figure disappeared in the darkness.Shao Yi didn't see the other party, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with this family, so he said to Gu Jiu, "I think you've heard too many ghost stories from Master recently."

Hurrying, it’s boring if there’s nothing to do, so Gu Jiu asked Fang Beiming to tell him all kinds of weird things they had encountered in the past, like listening to a small horror radio station in the middle of the night, which made him stick to Shao Yi. Gu Jiu was so tight that she wished she could stick to Shao Yi's body when she slept at night.It annoyed Shao Yi too much, of course it was useless for him to complain, Gu Jiu had already decided that he was too polite.

The problem of living has been solved, but I haven't had dinner yet.Fang Beiming didn't bother Wang Dacai's house, he only asked for three bowls of hot water, and had a meal with noodles and pickles.As for the little brother's dinner, it followed Gu Jiu and the others around the room, then jumped out the window to look for food.

At night, they lighted their own oil lamps, learned to learn, and drew talismans. When the lights were turned off, the younger brother hadn't come back.

Lying in the quilt, Gu Jiu tossed and turned. She always felt that the quilt and pillow were damp, and sleeping through the clothes was very uncomfortable. She didn't sweat at all, but her body was sticky. The absurd idea of ​​drying up squeezed towards Shao Yi.

Shao Yi was so squeezed that he lost his temper, but he knew Gu Jiu's character of not changing his life despite being cowardly, so he could only hold his breath, "Squeeze me out of bed again."

"Brother, is this quilt wet?" Gu Jiu asked suspiciously in the dark, raised his skinny paws and touched Shao Yi's waist twice.

Shao Yi seemed to have been touched by a tickle, his whole body bounced like a shrimp, and he really fell under the bed.

"..." Gu Jiu scratched the edge of the bed, poked his head, and looked at Shao Yi with a guilty face.

"You two don't fight..." Fang Beiming persuaded the fight in a daze.

Shao Yi got up from under the bed with an angry look on his face, endured Gu Jiu for a long time, finally couldn't bear to strike, grabbed Gu Jiu's cheek, and said in a low voice: "Do you really think I won't hit you?"

Gu Jiu's face was pinched and deformed, the force was not light, tears came out, and he slurred his speech: "Brother, I was wrong, you let go, I hurt!"

Shao Yi reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the bear boy was just persuading education, seeing Gu Jiu admitting his mistake, he let go and climbed back into bed.

Gu Jiu rubbed her chin for a while, and then leaned towards Shao Yi, touching Shao Yi's back, but she didn't dare to move anymore.

Seeing that he was honest, Shao Yi let him stand next to him.

Gu Jiu really thinks there is something wrong with this bed. He now feels that the half next to Shao Yi is dry, and the other half is as if soaked in water. fall asleep.

Tick-tick-tick-

There was a slight sound beside his ear, Gu Jiu thought it was the younger brother coming back, so he opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked towards the window.

Under the light of the moon, a dark figure was reflected on the window. The shadow stood quietly by the window for an unknown amount of time, tilted slightly, and happened to be facing Gu Jiu's side.

Gu Jiu looked over, as if he was staring at that figure.

Gu Jiu was startled, dizzy for a while, and felt that his soul was about to be frightened out of his body, so he quickly recited the Sutra of Immobilizing the Soul silently, not daring to make a sound, and pinched Shao Yi's waist hard under the blanket.
