Record of Yin and Yang

Before Gu Jiu went to bed, Fang Beiming was still drawing talismans, and he and Shao Yi slept on one side, but when he woke up the next day, Shao Yi slept next to him, and Fang Beiming occupied one side alone.

When Gu Jiu opened his eyes, he saw Shao Yi's face, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. The man's face was full of impatience when he opened his eyes, and he even frowned when he was sleeping, as if he was very angry.

But Shao Yi's body was really warm. Gu Jiu hadn't slept so comfortably and peacefully for a long time. He didn't wake up from the cold in the middle of the night after dawn.

But Shao Yi was very vigilant, Gu Jiu could feel it just by moving slightly, his eyes opened suddenly, a little dazed from just waking up, and soon became clear.

Shao Yi was sleeping on the outside, he looked out the window, rolled over to let Gu Jiu get off the ground, and kicked the sleeping Fang Beiming along the way.

Fang Beiming, who was kicked, sat up from the bed in a jerk, pinched his fists with both hands, his eyes were still closed, and he muttered: "Is there a ghost?"

Shao Yi said: "It's dawn, get up."

Fang Beiming fell back on the bed, hugged the quilt and rolled over: "My good disciple, please let me sleep for a while. Last night, I was bloodletting and fighting ghosts for my teacher. I feel dizzy."

Shao Yi said coldly: "The date agreed with the old general is coming soon."

Fang Beiming seemed to have been stabbed to death, reluctantly got up from the bed, reached out and groped under the pillow twice, and took out a red string with a small red bag hanging in the middle.

Gu Jiu was combing his hair with his fingers, when Fang Beiming threw the red string over and hurriedly caught it.

Fang Beiming said: "Xiao Jiu, take this and put it on, from now on ordinary wild ghosts will not dare to eat you again."

Gu Jiu pinched the small red bag, which was thin, and it should contain talisman paper. He hung the red string around his neck, and said, "Thank you, Master."

Fang Beiming waved his hand, put on his shoes and walked out.

Before going out, Shao Yi said to Gu Jiu: "Pack up your things and pick up the important ones. It's best to pack them in one bag."

Gu Jiu nodded hurriedly: "Understood, brother."

Gu Jiu tore off a piece of the torn bed sheet that blocked the window, and put in the clothes she usually wore, only two pieces with patches, and a piece of gilded clothes left by her grandma that she said would be passed on to his daughter-in-law. Silver jewellery, then gone, really poor.

After knotting the burden, Gu Jiu also left the room.

Fang Beiming and Shao Yi were fetching water to wash their faces. The younger brother was digging for things in the collapsed wall last night. Gu Jiu went over to help him find it, and finally found a dead mouse.

Fang Beiming smiled and said, "So this mouse was brought for you."

Gu Jiu smiled embarrassedly: "It's afraid that I'll be hungry."

When Fang Beiming and the others passed by here yesterday, they met the younger brother who came back with a mouse in his mouth. Fang Beiming felt that the black cat was very spiritual and wanted to keep it for his own use. Unexpectedly, the younger brother would not follow, so he took Shao Yi to chase it along the road. Gu Jiu was rescued by mistake and gained an additional apprentice.

Fang Beiming rubbed his stomach, "I haven't eaten meat for several days, so let's roast this mouse for dinner later."

"Okay." Gu Jiu was naturally not reluctant. He carried the mouse and prepared to go into the kitchen to tidy up. Unexpectedly, Shao Yi came over with a stinky face, snatched the mouse, and went into the kitchen to get busy.

"Master, Senior Brother." Gu Jiu chased after him, thinking that it would be fine if he came.

Fang Beiming stopped him, and handed over a greased paper bag, "Give this to your brother, and tell him to warm it up."

Gu Jiu took it in a daze, and after entering the kitchen, Fang Beiming yelled: "Yi'er, put less salt in the rat meat, don't make it too salty."

As soon as Gu Jiu came to Shao Yi's side, Shao Yi raised his head and roared, "Would you like to eat or not!"

Outside, Fang Beiming fell silent like a chicken whose neck had been strangled.

Gu Jiuqi and Ai Ai said: "Brother, return, let me do it."

Shao Yi ignored him, and when he dealt with the rats, he looked full of hatred, but his movements were skillful, and it could be seen that he had done this kind of work a lot in the past.

However, Shao Yi's movements are proficient and proficient, but the technique of grilling meat is not flattering at all. When grilling the meat, the fire is very vigorous, and it is cooked quickly, but when the meat is fully cooked, the outer layer is almost burnt black. There was also too much salt, and Gu Jiu stopped talking several times beside him, but thinking of the other party's violent temper, he dared not speak easily, so it's better to eat something salty.

So for breakfast, the three of them poured water into their mouths while eating, and neither of them dared to say anything even though they were eating for free.

After eating, Gu Jiu closed the door, carried his burden and hugged his younger brother, looked back at the place where he had lived for eight years, and followed Fang Beiming and Shao Yi.

The country Gu Jiu was in was called Xia Guo, and this time they were going to a place called Nanhu County to meet an old general of Xia Guo.From here to Nanhu County, Fang Beiming said that it would take at least five days.

The three of them stopped in a small town that day, and when they passed a noodle stall, their stomachs growled at the same time. Shao Yi, who holds the financial power of the division, took out the only copper plate left in his pocket. , with a wooden face: "Buy a bowl of noodle soup and share it."

Gu Jiu blushed. He felt that if it wasn't for the sudden addition of his mouth, master and senior brother should still be able to afford a bowl of noodles.In fact, Fang Beiming is very capable. During the two days on the road, Fang Beiming would also set up a fortune-telling stall when passing through some small towns, but half of the money he collected would be distributed to the poor and sick, and the other half would be kept. For the three of them, this also includes the cost of Fang Beiming's purchase of talisman paper, cinnabar and other materials.

Based on Gu Jiu’s feelings these days, when he makes a lot of money, he can eat soft white flour steamed buns, but when he makes a little money, he can only drink thin soup that can’t even be seen with rice grains, or simply go hungry .

Fang Beiming looked at the two children beside him, and said with a sarcastic smile, "Go set up a stall with Master."

The three of them chose a place at random, Fang Beiming laid out the affairs of the guy who was eating, straightened his clothes, and sat in the middle in a serious manner, while Gu Jiu hugged his little brother who was sleeping with his burden, Sitting on the side with Shao Yi.

After sitting for a long time, with a bang, a piece of broken silver was thrown in front of the three of them, and a rich old man with a birdcage in his body walked past them, "Take it and buy some food for the two children. Yes, skinny."

After speaking, he teased the bird and walked away.

All three were a little embarrassed.

Gu Jiuqiong, his clothes and trousers are all patched. When grandma was here, he would not be hungry after all. After grandma left, he was as thin as bean sprouts. He grabbed his hair casually, like a little beggar.

His master and senior brother were not much better either, the Taoist robes on the two of them were not torn, but they looked old, obviously worn for a long time.Because he always has to spend money to do good deeds, and he doesn't eat well, so although Shao Yi is tall, he looks thin.

Because of the rush, the three of them looked like beggars.

The broken silver was thrown there and no one picked it up, and they wanted to support themselves, but there are many people coming and going in this small town, but there are few superstitious ones. After setting up a stall for a long time, my stomach growled three times and I didn't even say a word. sell away.

Seeing that Gu Jiu's face was pale with hunger, Fang Beiming had no choice but to pick up some pieces of silver, and said angrily, "Tonight, master will recite two more blessing spells to that elder." In this way, the money was not in vain.

The three of them ate two bowls each at the noodle stall they passed by before, and drank half a bowl of noodle soup to finally fill their stomachs.

After eating, he continued to set up a stall. After sitting for most of the afternoon, Fang Beiming finally sold a few hexagrams and made a profit of [-] yuan. Half of the money was distributed, and the rest was used to buy pancakes. On the way to eat.

Afterwards, they continued on their way without stopping. They basically would not stay in a hotel at night. They would either find a small village to stay in, or find a ruined temple to make do for the night.

It was dark for a while that day, and the three of them were lucky enough to find a ruined temple in the wild.

Gu Jiu felt that he was living for nothing at the moment, so he was more diligent in doing things. When he entered the ruined temple, he did not stop to clear out an open space for him to sleep in later.

This dilapidated temple looks good. There are still some people who usually rest here. There are wooden boards and dry straw. You can sleep with a bed and a piece of clothing. If it’s cold, just light a fire next to it. .

In fact, Gu Jiu felt that it would be fine if he didn't light the fire, because sleeping next to Shao Yi was like holding a stove, and he didn't worry about freezing at all.

Gu Jiu has already worshiped as a teacher, so Fang Beiming didn't just talk about teaching him. The time for Gu Jiu to study is usually before going to bed at night, but it was not Fang Beiming who taught him, but Shao Yi.

Catching ghosts and fortune-telling, for Gu Jiu, these are the foundations for him to establish himself and save his life in the future. Shao Yi is fierce and impatient. Whether it is for himself or simply because Shao Yi scolds him, Gu Jiu learns it very seriously. .He doesn't know the words of this world, so he has to learn from the most basic, but fortunately, his shell is filled with the soul of an adult, and he is not stupid, so it is relatively easy to understand knowledge.

After studying for an hour, the three of them fell asleep when they had to hurry tomorrow morning.As long as it is in the wild or in a ruined temple, Shao Yi will always be the one caught in the middle in order to keep warm.

Although she was sleeping on the floor, her whole body was warm. Gu Jiu was next to Shao Yi, and her eyelids became heavy after a while.

When he was about to fall asleep, Gu Jiu suddenly heard Shao Yi calling him.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu."

Gu Jiu answered in a daze, then opened his eyes, saw Shao Yi standing at the gate of the ruined temple, with darkness behind him, and called him impatiently, "Xiao Jiu, accompany me out to relieve myself."

Seeing Shao Yi's cold face, Gu Jiu was timid, said "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsBut when he walked to the door, his left hand was suddenly grabbed by a fiery palm.

Shao Yi's familiar cold tone came from behind him: "Where are you going?"

Gu Jiu turned around in astonishment, and saw Shao Yi standing behind him, and then looked back at the Shao Yi in front, and saw that Shao Yi's face in front suddenly became unclear, and it was a black blur, and he stretched out his hand to grab him , the tentacles were icy cold, which made Gu Jiu get goosebumps all over his body.

"Senior brother!" Gu Jiu finally realized that something was wrong, and desperately tried to break free from the fake Shao Yi's hand.

Shao Yi held Gu Jiu with one hand, and made a formula with the other to chant a mantra: "Gods return to the temple, ghosts return to the grave, demons return to the mountains and forests, Xuanwu Zhenjun is as anxious as a law."

And pointing forward, the fake Shao Yi in front made a strange cry that seemed human but not human, turned into a cloud of smoke and fled from the place.

Shao Yi snorted coldly, and pulled Gu Jiu away from the door and back into the temple.

Going to the sleeping place, Gu Jiu froze.

Just because where he was lying before, there is still him lying down.
