[Cat and Mouse] Jianhe

People have twelve orthodox meridians and eight meridians, which follow the five elements of heaven and earth, sound Yin Yang and eight trigrams to conceive.This hidden vein is a vein that does not belong to any vein that is bred by Qi.The infuriating energy of the main points echoes each other and forms a channel of its own, which is called the hidden vein.Rumor has it that the descendants of the clan guarding the ancient divine sword "Huaying" occasionally have hidden vein inheritors.Before using martial arts to make a move, it is necessary to gather energy first, so that a master of martial arts can know the opponent's move in advance.The hidden veins are originally formed by the breath, and in addition to the complexity and variety of thousands of changes, they can truly control people without warning.

The hidden veins need to be opened after a certain level of cultivation, but under the impact of Wang Xingzu's crooked yin and cold true energy, the hidden veins in Bai Yutang's body were activated in advance.Bai Yutang was young and did not have a solid cultivation foundation, the appearance of the hidden veins made his original path of true energy messy, directly endangering his life.

"His grandma's banquet is coming, why didn't he tell grandpa in advance?" Xia Yuqi stepped on the small cabinet next to the couch, wreaking havoc.

Yan Xilai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he frankly confronted Xia Yuqi's gritted teeth, and said: "When I took Yutang, I checked his roots and felt that his aptitude was excellent but his meridians were not solid. I never thought that it was a hidden vein. .”

The little white mouse on the couch curled up, moved its nose and hummed slightly, obviously feeling extremely uncomfortable.

There were only clicking sounds one after another, and the small pear-wood cabinet was smashed to pieces under Xia Yuqi's feet.Jade Soul Sword, who is not afraid of anything, trembled all over, with a confused look on his face. "The matter has come to this point, only someone is willing to sacrifice his cultivation to create the hidden veins for him."

It's easier said than done.

Regardless of the loss of the rescuer's own cultivation, the meridian air flow is the lifeblood of a person, and there must be no error in it.The most difficult thing is to find a person who has no selfishness for Bai Yutang wholeheartedly, so that he can carefully examine his energy veins and lead to the casting hidden veins.The slightest deviation, the consequences are not trivial.

Yan Xilai remained calm and said in a low voice: "Yutang's foundation is shallow and he is still young, so this person's cultivation should not be too deep."

Xia Yuqi was seriously injured and incapable of forging a pulse, and Yan Xi's zhenqi cultivation for more than [-] years was not what Bai Yutang's immature body could bear.After screening in this way, it was impossible to find candidates for a while.Seeing her apprentice huddled on the side of the couch, with a pale face that really made people scratch their heads, Xia Yuqi grabbed Yan Xilai's shoulders tightly, and raised her voice, "You damn...how can I find willingness now? The one who went through fire and water for this little bastard?"

"Master, senior."

Xia Yuqi, who was grabbing Yan Xilai's shoulder and wishing to turn him over and over a few times, suddenly stopped, and the two of them looked towards the door together.

I saw a small crack in the wooden door, and a small head was half hidden behind the door, revealing a pair of black eyes.Zhan Zhao flashed out from behind the door, and closed the door easily.As soon as he entered the room, he bowed respectfully and stopped, but his cat-like shrewd eyes secretly looked around and searched, and finally landed on the couch.

"Zhaoer," Yan Xilai's expression darkened.

Zhan Zhao stole a glance at Master, stuck out his tongue secretly, and said respectfully: "Master, I know I was wrong, and I won't leave Guqu Cliff without permission in the future. It's because I miss Master and Senior so much on the cliff, thinking about I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came down from the cliff to have a look."

"Smart words. It's not true to miss grandpa, but it's true to miss my precious apprentice," Xia Yuqi gave Yan Xilai a hard look, and loosened the hand that was firmly on his shoulder. "You son of a thief, I don't know how many times you have eavesdropped behind the door."

Yan Xilai sighed softly and motioned for Zhan Zhao to lie down on the couch next to him.

Zhan Zhao got the permission to walk to the side of the bed in three steps and two steps, and raised his hand to caress the little guy's cheek.The little white mouse in a coma shed its wild and flamboyant thorns, and rubbed against Zhan Zhao's small but warm palm.The delicate skin is rubbed in the palm, and it feels cool.Zhan Zhao regained his composure, and said, "Master, this disciple is willing to cast the hidden veins for Yutang." His voice was quiet, but his words were firm and reassuring.

"Zhaoer, you have thought about it."

Zhan Zhao nodded, not allowing any comment, "Yes, this disciple understands."

I think back then that the baby who was in the swaddle has now become a young man with responsibility and decision-making, and in a few years may be a man who is indomitable.These rough years have worn away the pride and aspirations of one generation and forged the pride and tenderness of another generation.Yan Xilai was suddenly overwhelmed with gratitude, and his deep eyes became more and more bottomless.

"Hugh is acting like a hero there. You came to forge your pulse, did you ask your grandfather?" Xia Yuqi said coldly, abruptly interrupting this touching and lingering scene.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyes and smiled, with a gentle and gentle expression on his face, "I haven't seen my grandfather since I was a child, so I can only make my own opinions when things happen. I hope seniors will forgive me if it is inappropriate. The matter of casting veins is related to Yutang's life and death. If the senior can show respect and give some advice, the junior will definitely be grateful."

Zhan Zhao used the word "your grandpa" as a joke, and threatened Bai Yutang's life and death, which had already offended Xia Yuqi severely.The old Jianghu's long eyebrows were slanted, not angry, but mighty, "You son of a bitch, you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, you think that this infuriating energy is pouring wine from the wine tank, it doesn't matter if you pour too much, too little, crooked, or leaking?"

"Senior," Zhan Zhao said with a smile, the browbones that were born with sharp angles added toughness to the youth's delicate and immature face.Bowing his head, every single word seemed to plead for life, like an oath, "Even if this junior dies, I will keep Yutang safe and sound." After saying that, there was no more to say, just grabbed Bai Yutang's thin white arm and rubbed it at the key points of the meridians, Soothe his sore spots.

Xia Yuqi slapped the edge of the couch with a palm, mockingly and sarcastically, "Absurd! Is your life the most worthless?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, Xia Yuqi was... worried about his comfort?

"Wood is a dead-brainer. It's hard for you, such a promising apprentice. Casting hidden veins is extremely dangerous. If you die, you bastard..."

"Brother Xia," Yan Xilai said in a low voice, but he could not argue, "Zhao'er has his own measure."

The two of them have the same thing in their bones, so once they met and became friends for life, they knew each other's thoughts clearly, Yan Xilai's words blocked Xia Yuqi's tongue.Don't bother with it, just say: "Zhaoer, come here, as a teacher, I will tell you the tricks of casting, and you should remember it well."

"Yes," Zhan Zhao replied, gently putting the little guy's hand back under the quilt.Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang, who was in a trance, seemed like a little mouse that had been robbed of his food, a pair of small claws tightly wrapped around Zhan Zhao's arms and refused to let go.The zhenqi in the body was in a state of chaos during this struggle, causing another spasm.Zhan Zhao didn't want to move his hands anymore, and took a few shots at the places where Bai Yutang's breath was scattered, his innocent eyes turned on Yan Xilai's body repeatedly.

Yan Xilai approached the couch immediately, and explained the key points in detail.This is a gamble, no one is very sure, but they all have no hesitation.

Zhan Zhao listened carefully, while Xia Yuqi forcibly stared into copper bell eyes, but didn't bother.After Yan Xi finished speaking, he put his hand on Bai Yutang's wrist, and said with a frown, "It's not too late, you take Yutang to the Toad Cave right away. The Master will protect the Dharma outside the cave."

There are thousands of endless peaks and peaks in Tianluan Mountains, and a blue wave pool is actually embedded in one of the depressions.The pool water has no name, because its water quality is cold like snow all the year round, so it is also called cold pool.Toad Cave is located on the edge of the cold pool, and there are vegetation and boulders at the entrance of the cave, which is actually a hidden area for casting Yin veins.

"I'll go too," Xia Yuqi hurriedly followed, clinging confidently.

Someone knocked on the door three times, but Xia Yuqi fell silent.As soon as the word "Jin" falls in Yan Xilai, Hua Yi breaks in through the door.The big red shirt roared and scattered the sandalwood ashes. "People from Yinshan Sect..."

Yan Xilai raised his hand and interrupted the continuation, and said to Zhan Zhao, "You go first."

It was the Yinshan Sect again, and Zhan Zhao didn't take it seriously when he heard about it. For him, the most urgent task was to save the mouse.Ruhua's eyebrows and eyes are slightly twisted, and her fresh water-colored lips twitch slightly, which makes Zhan Zhao feel anxious.Carefully carrying him on his back, Zhan Zhao bid farewell to the masters and went to Toad Cave first.

Even though there is only one person on his back, the swallows and three copies of water in one hand are still light and extraordinary.The shoes pat the water surface lightly, water droplets splash and ripple lightly, and three circles of water flowers bloom.Zhan Zhao paused like a gull, stopped and jumped like a crane, lightly and skillfully skimmed the cold pool and entered the Toad Cave.The entrance of the cave is narrow and can only allow one or two people to pass through, and the cave is dim and light but has a unique cave.

The chill in the cave is not like the winter snow piercing the bones, it is wet and soft like the clear drizzle in March in the south of the Yangtze River, and you can still smell the green smell when you linger under your nose.This kind of gentle and delicate cold slightly suppressed the qi surging in Bai Yutang's body, just as Zhan Zhao found a flat boulder to put him down, he felt the little guy who had been lying dead clasped his shoulders tightly.

"Yutang," Zhan Zhao looked back in surprise and delight, and saw Bai Yutang's thin eyelids slightly opened.The pair of pitch-black eyes that have just touched something are still a little confused, and the hazy and gloomy eyes in Zhan Zhao's eyes are more radiant than the brilliance.Seeing that the little guy was about to make a move as soon as his brows were furrowed, Zhan Zhao hurriedly put his arms around his back to stabilize his body, "Don't move around, the zhenqi in your body is disordered, I want to help you create a pulse."

Bai Yutang shook his head, his big black eyes fixed on Zhan Zhao's face without any mistakes.

The little guy's stupid look is deceptive no matter how you look at it, Zhan Zhao couldn't put it down, he pinched his little nose, causing the little guy to look away in dissatisfaction.Zhan Zhao smiled, and said softly, "Wait a while, I'll go outside and make some arrangements."

"Cat." Bai Yutang's voice was as clear as water, and under the torment of chaotic true energy, it became soft and weak.The small mouth flicked lightly on the delicately sculpted face, carrying a hint of coquettishness that would never be seen on weekdays.

Zhan Zhao didn't move, and stroked his forehead, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yutang slightly lowered his eyes to hide from Zhang Zhao's, and asked calmly: "Will I die?" He pretended to be indifferent, just to avoid hurting others.The bone-piercing tearing and churning sensation tossed his immature consciousness over and over again.The little guy felt that he was so uncomfortable that he was probably going to die.

"No!" Zhan Zhao's voice was a mixture of the coolness of a child and the deepness of a young man, and it lingered in the cave for a long time, bringing out bursts of echoes.He is the proud son of heaven, and he is a talented man, but at this moment, he has tasted the taste of fear.The smell was not good, and the overwhelming undercurrents pouring in from all directions made people suffocate.For the first time in his life, he had the idea that it must be so desperately desperate.

"Oh," Bai Yutang nodded.Bai Yutang believed what Zhan Zhao said, without the slightest doubt, which made his deceitful image more and more deeply ingrained in Zhan Zhao's heart.The breath in his body was chaotic, and it caused a painful hum.But it was only half a sound, and the other half was swallowed by clenched teeth.

Zhan Zhao quickly tapped his Qihai and Shenshu acupoints, then untied his coat and put it on for him. "Wait, I'll come right away.

Zhan Zhao went out of the cave to look at the sky, and then pressed the mechanism of the cave entrance and blocked the entrance of the cave with a few heavy stones, before returning to Bai Yutang's side.

Bai Yutang frowned and thought carefully, when he saw Zhan Zhao came back, he asked, "Mao'er, what is pulse casting?"

In a few words, he couldn't explain the complicated causes and effects, and Zhan Zhao didn't know much about it, so he chose what is the hidden vein and how to forge it, and talked about it concisely, without mentioning the crisis of backlash and meridian damage.Seeing the little guy twitching again, his tone became stiff, "Don't delay any longer, we'll start right away. Remember what I said just now, just leave everything to me."

"If something goes wrong, will you die too?" Bai Yutang tremblingly grabbed a corner of Zhan Zhao's skirt with a small hand, raised his eyes and asked.Every word and phrase was keenly captured.

This little white jade doll is always pulling people's hearts like Tang Woxue, and Zhan Zhao's heart suddenly softened, and he said, "Yutang, I won't let this matter go wrong, not the slightest bit."

The little guy let go, blinked his eyes, "You won't die, will you?"

"Ah."

"I also think." Bai Yutang wrapped Zhan Zhao's outer shirt tightly, and said seriously, "It is said that the disaster will last for a thousand years. A big disaster like you can't die easily."

Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang's forehead lightly with just the right amount of force, and his tight lips were stained with a smile, "I'm a big scourge, then you are a small scourge. You have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and you seem to be very energetic." .”

The matter of casting the pulse must be in accordance with the right time, place and people, and connect with the four phenomena, five elements and eight trigrams.With the passage of time, the trend of the true energy in Bai Yutang's body is also very different.Seeing the best time, Zhan Zhao helped the little guy sit down on the cold boulder, poked his head into his ear and said, "I'm starting."

Bai Yutang tried to turn around and look at the person behind him, but was held down by Zhan Zhao's cat's paw, unable to move, and said sadly, "Cat, are you telling the truth?"

"Ok?"

"Seven days," the little guy said sullenly, "do you really want to stay in this dark cave for seven days?"

Zhan Zhao is angry, and the sun is still dark, do you know how hard it is to find such a unique cave, your life is almost gone, and you complain about the cave and the long days.I have to stay here with you for seven days, who should complain.Before Zhan Zhao's anger dissipated, Bai Yutang was out of time and said in a helpless voice, "I'll stay with you, the cat." Such a sentence added fuel to the fire.

Zhan Zhao slowly showed a smile, leaned close to the little guy's ear, his moist lips almost touched his earlobe, and said every word with a dark voice: "If you pick and choose again, I will trap you forever."

Bai Yutang shivered all over, this time it wasn't because of the cold or the breath.How could he be willing to give up in his mouth, he snorted and said, "Tch, whoever is sleepy can't be sure."

"Really?" Zhan Zhao held the little guy's shoulder firmly with one hand, and crossed his legs into a slumber.Xuan eyebrows are lightly relaxed, a half-smile is not a smile.

Bai Yutang continued to hum, with a shallow nasal voice, "Looking at your air, I'm so angry. Sooner or later, I'll hit you all over the floor and kowtow to beg for mercy."

"So ruthless," Zhan Zhao couldn't help but laugh, the young man's clear voice was like a stream flowing, and suddenly lowered, "You are - dying, ignorant, delusional, delusional. Don't move."

Bai Yutang's small teeth rubbed against each other and creaked a few times, and he could tell which was more important and which was less important. He obediently sat cross-legged without moving, and let Zhan Zhao do whatever he wanted.He refused to admit defeat verbally, and said with his mouth curled up: "It's just a cat, what's the big deal. Wait for the master to find a rope to tie it up, and drag it to the streets and alleys for people to juggle."

The rock-like aura of the calm water flow suddenly stirred, and Zhan Zhao, while driving a light car, guides the true energy to circulate and settle, while showing a smile that is beyond elegant and gentle.Slightly leaning his upper body, his warm chest almost fits perfectly with Bai Yutang's back.The voice became lower and lower, and he said slowly: "Very good. Let's see, little brother."

Bai Yutang was still about to refute, but he felt that Dazhu and Tianzong were shocked suddenly, and then the damper opened the soul gate, and a gentle and peaceful true energy entered smoothly with a controlled force.Although Bai Yutang was young, he knew through his ears and eyes the dangers of using zhenqi to enter other people's meridians, so he immediately put away the idea of ​​fighting with Zhan Zhao and settled down quietly.

True energy knows people, Zhan Zhao's true energy has a gentleman's demeanor that is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, gentle and moist like jade, but not blindly courteous and retreating, and occasionally even reveals the mischievous nature of a naughty child.This zhenqi moved inch by inch in Bai Yutang's meridians, gently comforting and calming down, and regulating the originally chaotic air flow bit by bit.Zhan Zhao's fortune and life depend on Zhan Zhao's control, and Bai Yutang doesn't resist at all, the door is wide open, and he gives everything with peace of mind.

Regardless of each other, they borrow from each other, even if they were fighting a lot just a moment ago.
