Record of Yin and Yang

Entering the fork, they walked for almost an hour, and finally came to the battlefield of that year, the mass grave.Several servants of the Dong family squatted in the mass grave, and they followed Dong Xiuying's order to guard here, but it's a pity that they still found nothing after squatting for a few days.

Fang Beiming heard what Dong Xiuying said before coming here, so he told her that ordinary people cannot see ghosts, and those who encountered thick fog and white horses before were either sick or weak and weak. People of this race are more likely to run into ghosts.And Dong Xiuying has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and her body is surrounded by a strong evil spirit. The servants in the general's mansion also have a little bit of her evil spirit. Even if they can see ghosts, weaker ghosts dare not join them .

After getting off the carriage, Gu Jiu was shivered by a gust of wind, hurriedly walked two steps to catch up with Shao Yi, and followed him cheekily.

In ancient times, there were wars between countries. In order to prevent the plague, the battlefield would be cleaned up after the war. Basically, the victor would clean up and bring back the dead soldiers of their own country. The corpses of hostile countries were usually burned and buried on the spot. .After the last battle here in the mass grave, Xia Guo also cleaned up the battlefield in the same way. As a result, decades later, as the terrain of the mass grave slowly changed, the bones that had been buried underneath also reappeared. In the sky, it was picked up by wild dogs everywhere.

In Gu Jiu's eyes, the mass grave is just a large garbage dump, with rotten clothes and broken mats, there is a clicking sound after walking a few steps, it is human bones accidentally stepped on, and the grass trembles from time to time, it is the frightened people walking inside. Rats, wild animals, Gu Jiu even found a few rotting corpses nearby.Fortunately, it's winter now, otherwise the taste here would be unimaginable.

Gu Jiushen followed Shao Yi with one foot and one shallow foot. He looked around and saw that it was very clean, not even a half soul left.This may seem normal, but it is the most abnormal. Since this is a mass grave, there should be a lot of orphaned souls.

Fang Beiming took a compass and looked around for a long time, but found no other abnormalities.He put away the compass and said: "It seems that we have to wait for two days to come here to have a look."

According to Fang Beiming's reckoning, You Shi, two days later, will be the arrival of the next "seven".To confirm whether the calculation is correct, just come back in two days.

The three of them returned to the General's Mansion and reported to Dong Xiuying. They will continue to live in the General's Mansion for the next two days.

After dinner in the evening, Gu Jiu finished his study, went back to his room to wash himself clean, and knocked on Shao Yi's door again, "Brother."

Shao Yi had just taken a shower, and came over to open the door with a blushing face. His austerity was a little less, which made Gu Jiu less afraid.

Shao Yi looked at the pillow Gu Jiu was holding in his arms, "What are you doing again?"

Gu Jiu squeezed the soft pillow, lowered her head and rubbed against Shao Yi's side bit by bit, "Brother, I'm too cold to sleep..."

"You are relying on me." Shao Yi's expression was not good.

Gu Jiu didn't say a word, and he didn't think about it either. In fact, he has a special physique. He would be too cold to sleep in the midsummer of July, let alone the weather itself is quite cold now.He hung his head in frustration, unconsciously pinching the pillow in his hand, and stood stubbornly at the door.

How pitiful and pitiful this looks.

Seeing Shao Yi, the younger brother squatting at Gu Jiu's feet yelled at Gu Jiu again. He was eager to protect the cub, and kept meowing at Shao Yi angrily.

Gu Jiu counted in his heart, and when he counted to nine, Shao Yi's impatient voice of compromise finally came from above: "Come in, come in, don't stick here like a log, let you sleep with me, treat it as a Repay me for eating your meat."

"Thank you, brother." Gu Jiu thanked him shyly, but thought in his heart that as long as he can sleep well, he doesn't care what he pays back.

The younger brother jumped to the end of the bed again, arguing with Shao Yi about "you get down" and "I won't".

Gu Jiu had a lesson on learning swords to strengthen his body. He woke Shao Yi up in the morning, walked out of the house, and gave him a wooden sword, teaching him from the very basics.Gu Jiu studied decently for half an hour, and was almost exhausted, his arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them up, and his hands were shaking while eating breakfast.

Seeing this, Fang Beiming smiled and said, "I'll go shopping later, will Xiao Jiu still go out?"

Gu Jiu really wanted to follow, but Shao Yi slanted his eyes, "He still has a few typos to copy a hundred times."

Gu Jiu was suddenly listless. There are many characters in Xia Guo, especially in Taoism, the structure is too complicated. Some prefixes were learned the next day and Gu Jiu couldn't remember how to write them the next day.The teacher Shao Yi is very strict, you can't remember it, you can always remember it after writing it a hundred times, the most frightening thing is that he still has to check the homework.

So after dinner, Fang Beiming and Shao Yi took the money bag Dong Xiuying gave them and went out. Gu Jiu, accompanied by his younger brother, was copying big characters pitifully in the room.

After copying the big characters hundreds of times, Gu Jiu put the homework away and waited for Shao Yi to come back and check it.The younger brother shouted angrily from outside, Gu Jiu saw that the younger brother left at some time, so he hurried out.

After searching around, he didn't see the younger brother. After leaving the courtyard, following the sound, Gu Jiu saw the younger brother standing on a roof, barking at a white cat opposite.

This is fighting for territory.

Gu Jiu took a few detours before reaching the room where the younger brother was standing. He suppressed his voice and said, "Little brother, come down." The white cat looked clean, and it might have been raised in the general's mansion. The younger brother is a black cat. Many people are quite jealous of this, so Gu Jiu was worried that it would offend anyone in the house when he saw it like this.

The younger brother shook its broken tail, looked back at Gu Jiu, and reluctantly jumped down along the wall next to it.

Gu Jiu tapped it on the forehead: "This is someone else's house, you can't run around, you know?"

The little brother let out a meek mian in his arms.

Gu Jiu walked back with his younger brother in his arms, but on the way back, he happened to meet Dong Xiuying who came from another place, and she still had a basket on her lap.

Gu Jiu hurriedly stood on the spot and saluted, "The general is well."

Dong Xiuying nodded and smiled, "Didn't the little Daoist go out with Master and Senior Brother?"

Gu Jiu said embarrassingly, "I made a typo in yesterday's lesson, so I left it to transcribe today."

Dong Xiuying: "Have you finished writing?"

Gu Jiu: "It's finished."

Dong Xiuying said: "Then do you want to see Bai Xue?"

"Bai Xue?" Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it should be Bai Xue's tomb. He didn't refuse, and nodded: "Of course."

Bai Xue is buried in the courtyard where Dong Xiuying lives now.

Dong Xiuying put the basket in front of the tomb, which contained Baixue's favorite horse grass. She said: "When it came to me, it was still a young foal, and I was only a six-year-old child. In the blink of an eye, it has been 50 years since Bai Xue left me, and I am also old."

Gu Jiu didn't know what to say, and he also understood that Dong Xiuying just needed a quiet audience.Apparently, Dong Xiuying didn't think it would be embarrassing for an eight-year-old child to be the audience.

The Dong family has been in the army for generations, and Dong Jiaerlang has to learn to use knives, guns and sticks since he can walk, in order to develop a good physique and guard the frontier.Dong Xiuying has three older brothers. She was a daughter. At that time, she didn't understand the sadness of her brothers being with their families when they were young. She just admired their heroic posture on horseback and used swords and guns. Likewise, riding majestically into battle.

On the day of Dong Xiuying's sixth birthday, her father and three older brothers rushed back from the military camp to celebrate her birthday, and each gave gifts to her.The third brother gave a pair of saddles, the second brother a whip, the eldest brother a spear, and the father gave a pony, which was Snow White.At that time, in Dong Xiuying's eyes, Bai Xue was just a beautiful white horse that she liked very much.

The world is unpredictable, when she was eight years old, the civil strife in Xia made the situation worse, the border was invaded by neighboring countries, and Xia Kingdom was in danger for a while.Her father was seriously injured and killed by the enemy, and her brothers took his father's place and went into battle to meet the enemy.

It was also at that time that Dong Xiuying no longer worshiped her brothers' heroic appearance on horseback. Every time they rode away, their backs were shrouded in the shadow of death, full of bitter parting.

Afterwards, Bai Xue was the listener who listened to her worries and longings for her father and brothers.

By the time Dong Xiuying was 14 years old, her three older brothers had died on the battlefield one after another, and her mother, unable to bear the blow, had long since passed away, leaving her as an orphan.Finally, she broke away from the naive Dong Xiuying back then, put on armor, picked up a spear, took Bai Xue, and carried the blood and vengeance all over her body, and went to the battlefield.

She went to the battlefield and fought side by side with Baixue. She couldn't remember how many times it was Baixue who led her to break through the siege. Every time she came down from the battlefield alive, her body was covered with wounds, and Baixue was also covered in blood.

At this time, Bai Xue was her last relative in this world, and they depended on each other for life.

Dong Xiuying regained consciousness from the memories, and looked at Gu Jiu who was only a little tall beside her: "Xiao Daochang, are you very strange, why did you keep staring at you before the old man?"

Gu Jiu was indeed puzzled, Dong Xiuying looked at him, as if recalling something.Before Gu Jiu could answer, Dong Xiuying asked someone to bring a painting and spread it out in front of Gu Jiu.

There is a lotus pond in the painting, and there is a willow tree beside the lotus pond, and a little Taoist boy is sitting beside the tree, holding horse grass in his hand, and a white pony in front of him is about to bow his head to graze.

Gu Jiu looked at Xiaodaotong in the painting: "This is?"

Dong Xiuying smiled and said, "This is me in men's clothing when I was a child. Is it very similar to you?"

Gu Jiu nodded. It was really similar. Dong Xiuying should open this painting often. She is no stranger to her Daoist costume, but it was in the painting after all, so when she looked at him, she suddenly felt emotional. Bar.

Dong Xiuying rolled up the scroll and handed it to Gu Jiu, "Your master said, I want me to give him something with my breath and my obsession with Baixue. Now the only thing left around me is this painting." , please help me transfer it to your master."
