Yangyue

To be on the safe side, Qi Zhu and Xiao Yangyue did not return to the palace, but returned to the original inn.

Henry Zhang asked someone to check the bowl of "Yuqiong Sending Zishui", and it turned out that it was undoubtedly clear water.At the same time, he sent a secret letter to the guards of the duckweed pavilion, telling them to divide into several routes to go secretly to Tuhu tomorrow, so as not to startle the snake.

At [-] o'clock on the second day, Qi Zhu and Xiao Yangyue came to the temple again. When they came, the abbot You was alone in the temple lobby dusting the dust on the Buddha statue with a wool duster. When he saw them, he just A simple hello.

When the two came to the underground ancestral hall through the small door behind the Buddha statue, there were already many couples waiting in the ancestral hall, all of whom came to gather and go to Tuhu Lake together.

Two quarters of an hour later, a burly man with the appearance of a guard walked into the ancestral hall, took a roll and counted everyone's names, and when everyone was present, he let everyone go out from the small cave and boarded a group of carriages parked outside.

Abbot You of the temple was also in the team. He was riding alone on a horse, and the sunlight in the day did not alleviate the gloom in his strange face.

The two got into one of the carriages, and there were two other couples sitting in the carriage.

One of the couples was dressed in relatively decent clothes. When they met Qi Zhu and Henry Zhang, they took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Qi Zhu had a brief chat with them, and learned that the couple was running a small business in the county, and was troubled by having no children for a long time.

The man in the couple was named Gao Geng. He quietly took a look at Henry Zhangyue, and couldn't help but whispered to Qi Zhu: "Ling Zheng is really tall. This is the first time I have seen such a tall woman. Are you in good health?"

Qi Zhu said with a smile: "Indeed."

Not long after, the convoy set off with bumps.

Qi Zhu asked Gao Geng, "Have you ever been to Tu Lake?"

"I've never been there before." Gao Geng shook his head, "Tuhu Lake is the cultivation place of the Great Immortal. We ordinary disciples, without the guidance of Dharma protectors, must not go there easily. It would be bad if we bumped into the Great Immortal."

Henry Zhang sat on the side and looked out of the window. Because of his disguise, he didn't bring his usual saber, which made him very uncomfortable.

Qi Zhu was still carrying the fan. Seeing Henry Zhang's expression was cold, he took out the fan from the package and unfolded it to fan him: "What's the matter, lady? But because of the sweltering weather these days, are you not in a good mood? "

As soon as the fan opened to cover the faces of the two of them, Qi Zhu whispered in his ear: "My lord, I know that I have wronged you, but you should act closer to me. Other couples are affectionate, we can't Show flaws."

The world is a lesson, at that time Qi Zhu had absolutely no other unreasonable thoughts in his mind, Henry Zhang stared at him for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice: "In that case, husband, please let me rely on you."

After all, Henry Zhang leaned against Qi Zhu's neck, with his palms on his chest.

Seeing this, Gao Geng smiled and said, "You two are very affectionate."

Qi Zhu smiled slightly, and gently fanned Henry Zhang. When he turned his head, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold expression as deep as ice.

Ordinary people judge whether a person knows martial arts. Usually, they can feel whether there is internal force flowing through the meridians in the opponent's body by touching the pulse. The meridian on the wrist is one place, and the more accurate place is the heart meridian.

Even if most of the meridians in his body are broken like Qi Zhu, some internal force can still be felt in the heart channel. If he does not take the initiative to guide the internal force in the body to suppress it, if he is a person with strong martial arts and keen senses, it is possible to detect him through the heart channel. internal force.

Xiao Yangyue leaned on him seemingly inadvertently, but the palm of his hand against his chest was slightly hot, which was because he had used a little internal force.

Henry Zhang is judging whether there is internal force in his body through the heart pulse.

Qi Zhu suppressed the internal force flowing in his heart veins, as long as Henry Zhang pressed it, he had to suppress it for as long as possible.

Up to now, Henry Zhang still doubted him, Qi Zhu couldn't figure it out, what made him suspicious?

It is not too difficult for Qi Zhu to suppress the internal force for several hours, but after that, the internal force in the body will flow through the whole body in an instant due to the release of long-term suppression. Qi Zhu's meridians are incomplete, which will make him suffer for nearly an hour Burning pain in the meridians.

But now there is no other way, and the burning pain is nothing to Qi Zhu.

Henry Zhang held his breath and focused, he was still in Qi Zhu's body, and still didn't notice any internal force flowing.

The internal force at the heart meridian is extremely difficult to suppress, even for him himself, it is difficult to suppress it for a long time. If he is not an extremely accomplished person, it would be impossible to imagine.

Even so, Henry Zhang didn't move, but quietly leaned against Qi Zhu's chest, and Qi Zhu hugged him, flapping his fan one after another.

After doing this for more than two hours, Henry Zhang kept this posture and did not move. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a wife who was sleeping in the arms of her husband, but Qi Zhu knew that Henry Zhang was not asleep. He has been awake.

After several hours of bumping, the carriage finally stopped slowly.

After everyone else got out of the car, Henry Zhang straightened up from Qi Zhu's arms, didn't even bother to pretend to be sleepy, and got out of the car directly.

The carriage stopped at the edge of a forest, the surrounding air was humid, and the sound of birds chirping could be heard from time to time.Everyone can vaguely see a very large lake at the end of the forest, the water surface is dappled with sunlight, and there are a few lucky boats parked on the shore.

Yesterday, the left protector who was in charge of promotion and wealth got off the leading sedan chair and said to everyone: "Disciples, we are about to enter the holy place of cultivation of the Great Immortal. Please kneel down here and chant, and clean your face and hands with spiritual water. .”

Henry Zhang turned around, but suddenly found that Qi Zhu hadn't got off the carriage yet.Henry Zhang frowned, and was about to go back to see what Qi Zhu was doing, when the car curtain was suddenly lifted, and Qi Zhu walked down steadily.

Henry Zhang asked: "What's wrong?"

Qi Zhu's face didn't show any abnormality, instead he smiled helplessly: "Lady, you slept with your husband all the way, half of my body is completely numb."

Qi Zhu spoke calmly, but what no one knew was that he had just released the suppressed internal force, and at this time the incomplete meridian in his body was sending a scorching pain.

Henry Zhang pursed his lips, he had been probing all the way just now, no one could hide it for so long, the facts were clearly in front of his eyes, but there was always some vague doubts in his heart that could not be explained clearly.

"Husband is just joking, I don't want others to sleep on me." Qi Zhu said again, reaching out to him, "Let's go."

Henry Zhang was silent for a while, stretched out his hand to hold Qi Zhu's hand extended to him, and followed the others to kneel down to worship Jingmian.

Tuhu Lake is very large, with a total area of ​​[-] mu. Seven or eight wooden boats are moored on the shore. Many goddesses and gods with golden facial patterns are standing beside the boats. They are all dressed in gold and have solemn faces.

Everyone walked through the hidden woods, and suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels on the road behind them.Qi Zhu looked back and saw four horses pulling a gorgeously decorated ten-carrier sedan. After the sedan stopped, two servants quickly got out of the car, set up the footstools, and opened the curtain of the sedan chair.

The luxurious Jia Huan got out of the car, and then two maids helped one of the side ladies down. The two side wives were both dressed in loose gouache silver embroidered dresses, and they were all dressed up beautifully. Seeing their simple civilian husband and wife are out of tune.

Qi Zhu took a closer look, and found that the two concubines indeed had very big bellies. It didn't look like they were only two months pregnant, but they really looked like they were going to give birth soon.

Jia Huan's expression was quite arrogant, he didn't even look at the couples around him, he brought his wife and bowed to the three Dharma protectors, then bowed to Abbot You, and took two servants and four The maid, two midwives and two doctors boarded a lucky boat first.

"That's Young Master Jia, right? Oh... His wife looks really good..."

"Yes, I heard that being pregnant will not make the mother tired, but the aura contained in the womb is also very nourishing. Look at the ruddy complexion of Mrs. Jia's wife, she doesn't look like a pregnant woman."

"Master Jia is really blessed, the Great Immortal bestowed two soul fetuses at once..."

Qi Zhu listened to the discussions of the people around him, and then turned to look at Henry Zhang, who had no expression on his face, only indifference in his eyes.

A wealthy businessman and a country gentry are naturally not enough to look at in front of Henry Zhang, especially for these businessmen with salt orders, their wealth is all given by the government.

After Master Jia's family boarded the boat, the rest of the people boarded the boat one after another.Qi Zhu and Henry Zhang happened to be on the same boat as Young Master Jia, and the boy on board led them to the cabin.

There are five or six cabins on the deck, one of which is much larger than the others, and it naturally accommodates Young Master Jia's family.The rest of the cabins are simple and narrow, with only a set of old tables and chairs, a bamboo bed, an incense burner and a wooden bucket filled with water in the cabin.

After everyone boarded the boat, the boat sailed slowly towards the center of Tuhu Lake.Through the window, Henry Zhang looked out of the cabin, the Tuhu Lake was calm and without waves, and the surrounding mountains and forests were also very quiet and deep, and he did not notice the dangerous atmosphere.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside, Henry Zhang opened the cabin door a gap, and standing outside was the sorceress on the ship.

The sorceress was holding a bowl of black soup medicine in her hand, as well as a few pieces of brightly colored spices. She handed the things to Henry Zhangyue, her voice was hoarse and old: "You two, the old woman is the big fairy who takes care of your daily life these days. My psychic witch, every day at this time, the old woman will send Yuqiong to give birth to the water, the lady must drink it well."

Henry Zhang stared at the porcelain bowl in the hands of the sorceress, and said: "This water seems to be different from what I drank yesterday?"

"Naturally." The sorceress stared at Henry Zhang, showing a slightly weird smile, and the facial lines on her face were deformed and elongated, "Since Madam wants to get pregnant soon, she has to drink this more effective child-giving water .”

Henry Zhang took the bowl, and the sorceress stood there and looked at him, as if she wanted to wait for him to drink the water before leaving.Henry Zhang handed the bowl to his lips, raised his head and drank it, and then handed back the empty bowl.

Even if Xiao Yangyue can use her internal force to force out the decoction later, in order to deceive the witch's eyes and ears, the decoction still has to be swallowed first.The decoction in his mouth was very bitter, with a faint fishy smell.

Qi Zhu stood aside and watched this scene, with a little thought in his slightly dark eyes.

The sorceress took the empty bowl, and handed the rose-colored spice cube to Henry Zhangyue, saying: "This is a spice for the fun, you two can light it, and you should do more Zhougong's rituals."

What kind of happiness this spice helped, naturally needless to say, Henry Zhang took the spice, the sorceress bowed slightly, turned and left.

Henry Zhang threw the spices aside, opened the window and leaned out, using his internal force to force out the medicine he just drank.The black concoction flowed back into his mouth and was spit out by him, and a fishy smell rose from his throat, making Henry Zhang feel a bit uncontrollable nausea.

Henry Zhang rinsed his mouth with water several times, and the nausea was gradually suppressed.

Qi Zhu: "Can you taste what this medicine is?"

Henry Zhang shook his head, in order to ensure that the possible toxicity in the medicine would not remain in his body, he had to meditate and use his internal force to channel it for at least half an hour.

That night, outside the thin cabin walls, there were always sounds of love between the couple in the adjacent cabin. Henry Zhang had excellent hearing, and he had to listen even if he didn't want to. He was restless until the second half of the night before falling asleep.

Surprisingly, Henry Zhang had a strange dream that night.

In the sunny mountain forest, he talked with a few lost travelers and prepared to lead them down the mountain.However, just as he walked into a bush, those people suddenly rushed up and pressed him to the ground, and began to tear his clothes.

In the blink of an eye, the appearance of those thieves changed again. Their outstretched hands turned into cold snakes. The snakes wrapped around his limbs and throat, and their fangs nailed into his skin.

When he was young, he opened his mouth to call for help, and wanted to ask Master to save him, but his throat was so hot that he couldn't speak. He could only feel the pain of suffocation and the biting cold, which swallowed his body.
