king array

The man turned around when he heard the sound, and for a moment, Ling Xun felt his heart rise to his throat. Before seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he had already searched for a vague impression from his memory, hoping to match the young man's old facial features with the person in front of him. Checked it, but when the person really faced him, his heart sank suddenly - the person was wearing a mask.

Why don't you show your true colors?

Ling Xun's spark of joy, which he had managed to pick out from the ashes, was poured with cold water before it could be ignited into a flame, and the smoke was drowned by a head of cold water.

After the man in gray turned around, he looked at Ling Xun silently for a long while, and finally said, "I haven't seen you for many years, is Mr. Ling all right?" Perhaps because he was wearing a mask, his voice was muffled and there was a faint echo. It doesn't sound like a real voice.

"You...are you really the one who saved me?"

Because he was dissatisfied with this person's concealment, Ling Xun's "Benevolence" that popped out of his head at the beginning was also thrown into the dog's belly, and he was full of suspicion again.

However, the man in gray didn't answer, but just took a few steps closer.

Ling Xun stepped back vigilantly, and even pulled out the precious dagger that was stolen from Liu Situ's hand, and clearly wrote the words "don't approach strangers" on his face.

As if aware of Ling Xun's resistance, the man in gray didn't come closer, but lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on Ling Xun's knee, and after a while, he asked softly, "Does the wound still hurt?"

It's just that such an insignificant sentence did not contain any emotions, but it carried an indescribable warmth, flowing into Ling Xun's heart that was already as hard as a stone, and for no reason, the disguised layer of frost melt.

His eyes suddenly became hot, as if he heard the sentence that the boy 14 years ago said to the child who just had a great change in his family and was squatting helplessly in the corner crying: "Why are you crying? Who made you sad?"

Ever since his legs were injured by those eunuchs, Ling Xun never seemed to have missed eating, drinking and having fun, as if those bloody bone sticks hadn't grown on him.

In prison, Zhong Lishan and others gave him thumbs up because of his toughness. In Yuan Mansion, Yuan Xi scolded him because he didn't know the severity of his death. It was Fang Jue who had been by his side since he was a child, and he was only worried about the extent of his leg injury.

No one has ever asked him softly like this, whether the wound still hurts.

In Ling Xun's impression, this kind of concern can only be found in his mother, and his mother died when he was four years old.Without his own mother, naturally no one cares about whether he is in pain, whether he will feel cold, hungry, and sad, as if he was born with this faceless, skinless, heartless piece of copper and rotten iron, who is not afraid of being beaten or beaten compare notes.

Just at this moment of daze, the man in gray has squatted beside him, lifted up his pants, and checked his knee injury.

"The injury is like this, how can you still walk around?" The tone is still so shallow and gentle.

Ling Xun didn't answer, but just stared blankly at the man in gray, as if he was in a demon.

The man in gray sighed and said, "Sit down, I'll take a look for you."

He waved his palm lightly, and Ling Xun was pressed down to the ground by a gentle but irresistible force.

The man in gray unbuttoned Ling Xun's robe, and rolled up his trouser legs to his thigh.

The dagger in Ling Xun's hand was taken away by the man in gray. Faced with such a passive behavior, Ling Xun didn't even have the slightest intention to resist, and let the man cut open the wound with the dagger. bandages.

Gently unwrapping the medical cloth wrapped in Situ's Mansion, I saw a bloodstain nearly two palms wide between the calf and thigh, which was white and delicate enough to press water, and there was still a sticky ointment to stop bleeding and remove stasis on it The greasy ground mixed with indistinct flesh and thick water exudes a pungent medicinal smell, almost nauseating.

"Why didn't you use array techniques to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis?" the man in gray asked, his tone seemed to be reproachful.

Ling Xun seemed to have finally come to his senses. Not only did he regain the ability to speak, but he even put on his habitual casual smile on his lips. He squinted and said, "No one taught me, no."

The man in gray paused, and said, "I'll treat the wound for you first, and I'll teach you the method later."

Ling Xun put on that rascal look again, leaning back with his hands propped on the ground, waiting for someone to serve him like an uncle, staring at the man in gray with a pair of peach blossom eyes, suddenly, without warning, he shot at the man in gray. The mask on the face of the person is gone!

For a moment, Ling Xun almost thought that he was going to win, but just when he was about to touch the mask of the man in gray, the tip of his index finger seemed to touch an invisible membrane, and suddenly there was a burning pain, which scared him Immediately withdrew his hand and put the hot fingertips in his mouth to cool down.

"Sneaky, even a mask needs to be protected by formations! You are not a gentleman!" Ling Xun said angrily, protecting his almost scalded dog paw.

But the man in gray just chuckled and said: "This formation is not for gentlemen."

"You... hiss!" Ling Xun was about to bicker and go back, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in his knee, which forced him to swallow back the words.

The man in gray cut off a small piece of cloth that grew together with the bad meat, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, and sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound. After recovering from this breath, he stared into tears and said angrily: "Your hands are simply more vicious than those eunuchs!"

But any man, if he is compared to a birdless eunuch, he will naturally be pissed off.But the gray-clothed man didn't respond at all, he treated Ling Xun's wound and began to explain the key to the formation.

"Do you still remember that I once said back then that everything in the world cannot enter Yin and Yang, and nothing cannot belong to the five elements?"

Ling Xun naturally remembered, he could clearly remember every word this person said to him back then.

"The twelve meridians of the human body, each of which has its own five-shu acupoints, namely Jing, Xing, Shu, Jing, He, corresponding to the wood, fire, earth, metal, and water of the five elements of the yin meridian, and the metal of the five elements of the yang meridian. , water, wood, fire, and soil. What you need now is to use the method of intergeneration of the five elements to connect the large points on the legs so that the flow of qi and blood will not stagnate. This is the three moments of the ugly time, which belongs to the yin earth, but to open up It’s a good time for the Yangjin Point. Your formation skills are still weak, and I can help you.”

After the man in gray finished speaking, he put his fingers together and tapped everywhere on Ling Xun's knee.

Ling Xun suddenly felt his knees were very hot, as if being roasted by coals from a distance, and the comfort came out from the cracks in his bones.

"Close your eyes and focus on it, guide it with qi, combine the directions of the eight trigrams, integrate the acupoints on your body into the array, and think about where is the door of life and where is the door of death. During the day, draw qi to pass through the door of life and abandon the door of death. Qi enters the door of death and abandons the door of life, and this cycle goes back and forth to make the meridians open."

Ling Xun closed his eyes as he said, and the acupoint map given to him by the Mu family appeared in his mind, and then he contacted the method of the five elements of mutual generation mentioned by the man in gray. The method that has been puzzling for days seemed to be understood instantly. Immediately, he felt that the hamstrings that had been stiff and numb by him for the past month felt relieved.

It ran quietly like this for several hours. When the east was white and the sky was getting bright, Ling Xun suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from beside him. man's sleeves.

"Engong, are you leaving again?"

Maybe it was because he was favored by others for no reason, so Ling Xun honestly changed his name again.He was still sitting on the ground, looking up at the gray-clothed man, with deep reluctance in his eyes, and even a bit of dependence and intimacy like a baby bird.

It was the same last time, in order to prevent him from being searched out by the officers and soldiers, this person dressed him as a girl and stuffed him into the Embroidery Building, taught him how to use formation techniques to enter brocade objects, and then disappeared.

"You have mastered the key to entering the meridian acupoints with arrays. After you go back, you should use arrays to dredge the large wooden acupoints on the water meridian, which is in line with the image of 'withered trees in spring'. Within three days, your legs will be back to normal. Here There is also a bottle of ointment for removing scars, after the leg injury is healed, apply it once in the morning and evening, even though you are a man, you should cherish your body, hair, skin, and skin." The man in gray said, slapping a white Pass the small porcelain bottle to Ling Xun.

Ling Xun didn't pick it up, and still stubbornly grabbed the man in gray by the sleeve.The man in gray shook his head, slightly raised his hand, and the sleeve slipped from between Ling Xun's clenched fingers, and he was about to float away.

"Emperor!"

Ling Xun yelled, stumbled to his feet and chased after him, but knelt down in front of the man in gray, and said solemnly: "Back then, Engong saved Xun's life and taught Xun formation skills, and now he saves Xun in danger, and heals Xun in pain , such a kindness is tantamount to recreating, Xun has nothing to repay in this life, and only wishes to serve around with this long body. But now, benefactor does not want to meet with his true face, how can Xun deal with himself?"

The man in gray put his hand on Ling Xun's arm, then helped him up, and said: "The blood of Princess Wuyang is flowing on your body, how can the real queen of Tianhuang be so easy to kneel down and get up."

Ling Xun sneered, "After Tianhuang nobleman, the one who killed my whole family, isn't it also Tianhuang nobleman?"

The man in gray was noncommittal, and only said: "These things I do are also to repay people's kindness, you don't need to take it to heart, as for not seeing each other in real face, it is because the fate between you and me is over here, and we will never see each other again. Seeing the opportunity, why leave that irrelevant voice and appearance? Young Master Ling cherishes it."

After finishing speaking, the man in gray exerted a little force on Ling Xun's arm.

Ling Xun suddenly felt numb all over his body, and sat on the ground paralyzed as if he had lost his bones, but in a short breath, when he regained his ability to move again, he was the only one left in the ruined temple, and he was no longer seen in gray. shadow of man.

In this world, the only person who knew his surname, Ling Xun, and what he had carried in the past, left like this with a gesture of farewell.
