Chapter 23 Divination
After returning to the Xiao family mansion, Xiao Xian could not calm down for a long time. He held the scroll Xiao Jinyu gave him in his hand and pondered for a long time in silence. He couldn't help but shed a tear in his eyes.
The young man Fengdong didn't know what his master was thinking, so he asked carefully: "Mr. Lang, I can see that you really want to take the miracle doctor to Xiao's house, but why do you want to tell her the truth?"
If she doesn't tell and keeps it secret forever, she will naturally come to the Xiao family without knowing her life experience.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Xian unexpectedly replied: "You don't understand. Returning to the Xiao family may not be as good as her life now. My Xiao family's children are all talented, but why can't they all live long? This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.”
The boy's expression changed.
He then said, "The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump. I hope she can live such a life forever, but Sister... If my mother knows that Sister A has... I'm really afraid that it will be hard for her bear……"
"Then don't tell Madam." The boy quickly answered.
Xiao Xian shook his head and murmured to himself: "Back then, my mother broke off a lifetime of love as husband and wife because of a quarrel between my sister and my father. She was also depressed because she had been living in guilt and pain, and she fell into this state. She collapsed in bed due to illness. Later, her eldest brother, second brother, and third brother passed away one after another. My mother’s last spiritual support also collapsed. Now she doesn’t recognize anyone. I really don’t know..."
"Langjun, Madam still knows you. She just occasionally loses her composure when seeing others. Every time Langjun goes to see her, she becomes very quiet and kind. I can see that Madam is actually very worried about you. "
Because I was worried, I had to hang on to my last breath and stay alive.
Xiao Xian felt a burning pain in his heart when he thought of his mother's body, which was as skinny as wood and already shaped like an old woman in her seventies or eighties.
"Mr. Lang, that girl knows how to heal. Why don't we invite her to our home and show her to the madam? Maybe the madam's illness will be cured?" The boy suddenly had an idea and said, after speaking, he seemed to Realizing something, he said with great embarrassment, "Lang Jun, that miracle doctor doesn't have an Adam's apple, and he looks so coquettish. Don't tell me, didn't you see it?"
Xiao Xian shook his head and laughed. How could he not see it? He just saw through it without saying anything.
The young man seemed to understand his thoughts immediately and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, I will definitely not say this to others in the future." He paused and then said, "But, Madam's illness?"
When mentioning his mother's illness, Xiao Xian's expression darkened again, and his heart seemed to be moved, but in the end he shook his head.
…
After seeing Xiao Xian off, Fenghuang returned to the small courtyard and saw Xiao Jinyu staring blankly at the compass in her hand by the candlelight. There was no smile on her face, and her expression seemed a little sad.
So, he took a hat and put it on his head, ran to Xiao Jinyu, and said with a mysterious smile: "Brother Qing, how about I dance and sing a song for you, okay?"
Before Xiao Jinyu could answer, she saw that the boy had stepped back a few steps, and without any warning, he began to dance with his hands and feet. While dancing, he was tapping the chime with his bamboo chopsticks and singing:
"The man is in the tenth floor, and the woman is in the nineth floor.
If Lang Fei is a yellow kite, how can he get a bird in the sky? "
When he sang this, the boy was stunned for a moment when he saw Xiao Jinyu's expression, and then his lips curved slightly, revealing a smile. He couldn't help but also grinned brightly, his clothes fluttered in his hands, and he danced with a more unrestrained movement.
"Murong climbed up the wall to watch, but Wu's army had no borders. I took my own position and killed the foreigners outside the wall in vain.
Murong Chou was angry and burned incense for a Buddhist meeting. I would like to be a swallow in the wall and fly high outside the wall.
Murong looked out of the wall and saw that the Wu army had no borders. Oh, my ministers and subordinates, this matter must be lamented! "
As the boys danced and sang, the smile on Xiao Jinyu's face froze again. She had never seen such a wild and elegant dance, as if what was dancing in front of her at this moment was not a person, but a bird. The phoenix has been trapped in the cage for a long time and longs to spread its wings. When the phoenix breaks out of the cage, it is the proud and clear song soaring in the nine heavens. There is a wild elegance and deep romance in the boy's dance, and there is also a A kind of courage that hides and does not show its disdain to the world.
Rotating, spreading wings, soaring high, every movement carries its own natural wind, as elegant as snow.
"Famous teachers and generals should not keep themselves in prison, and thousands of troops should avoid white robes."
When the last sentence fell, the boy stopped moving and his sleeves gradually fell down, just like a tired bird finally folding its wings.
Xiao Jinyu was thoughtful.
Famous masters and generals should not keep themselves in prison, and thousands of troops and horses should avoid white robes. It tells the story of Chen Qingzhi, a famous general in Nanliang. With only a few thousand white robe soldiers, he captured thirty-two cities in the Northern Wei Dynasty within three months. No one dares to challenge him.
Such achievements are unprecedented. It's a pity that Chen Qingzhi passed away early, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyu shook his head and laughed again.
At this time, the boy came over and asked: "Brother Qing, how are you? Is my dance good? How does it compare to the romantic Dugu Xin with a side hat?"
Xiao Jinyu came back to her senses and said with a grateful smile: "Are you afraid that I will be unhappy, so you dance like this on purpose to make me happy?"
Phoenix did not deny it.
Xiao Jinyu added: "Actually, I'm not unhappy. Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Things are unpredictable. People will encounter many unpredictable things in this life. If you have to be unhappy at everything, what's the point of living?
Phoenix, look!”
What to see?
Following Xiao Jinyu's slender fingers, Fenghuang looked over and saw that there was a pattern drawn under the compass. There was a jade pendant in the pattern. This jade pendant was left by her mother Xiao. The relics that came down.
Phoenix couldn't understand what it meant, so he asked, "What is this?"
Xiao Jinyu replied: "I was doing divination just now, using my mother's relics to calculate what happened during her lifetime."
"Then what did you think, Brother Qing?"
"Twenty-four hexagrams, the hexagram is shown as water, pointing directly to the southeast of the Qinhuai River, which is the direction of the Xiao family's mansion. The Ke hexagram is also the Li hexagram, but it points to the Tai Chi Hall in Jiankangtaicheng. "
Phoenix shook his head: "I still don't understand, what does this mean?"
Xiao Jinyu fell silent, paused for a moment, and then continued: "It means that the person who really harmed my mother is not in the Xiao family mansion, but in the palace."
"In other words, the person who harmed my aunt was not Princess Yunyin, but someone else. Who could it be?" Fenghuang suddenly stood up and asked.
Xiao Jinyu remained silent again.
"I never thought that Brother Qing could do divination and fortune-telling?" Phoenix sighed in surprise again.
Xiao Jinyu smiled. Divination and fortune-telling are just a skill in Taoism. Using the directions on the hexagrams to measure Feng Shui and fortune-telling are only the most superficial skills. The real magic is to change one's fate against the will of heaven. God is like this, but it is a pity that she was not at this point in her previous life, otherwise she would not have allowed their Xie family and the entire Nanliang family to be destroyed by the thieves.
"Phoenix, take out all the other relics of my mother and take a look!"
"good."
The boy nodded and immediately took out the box left by Mrs. Xiao and placed it in front of Xiao Jinyu.
Xiao Jinyu opened the box and found a bulging brocade bag from a pile of ornaments. She soon opened the brocade bag and took a look, and saw that what it contained was a brocade handkerchief embroidered with words.
The embroidery work on the brocade handkerchief is excellent, and the handwriting on it is also very elegant. It is a standard small regular script with hairpin flowers. It reads: "The round fan of humanity is like a full moon, and the full moon of Nongdao is not round. I hope Yanzhou will be frost-free, and I can go out and go out." Happy sleeves for thousands of years."
It is a love poem, and it is a love poem that boldly seeks pleasure.
Xiao Jinyu put the silk into the formation he had set up and started divination again.
Using people's relics to test what she has experienced during her lifetime is also a skill taught to her by the dreamer in her previous life. However, this skill is very consuming, so after she finished the divination, her whole person became quite Tired, even drowsy and almost fainted.
Phoenix's expression changed with fright.
"Brother Qing, what's wrong with you? Are you taking advantage of something?"
Xiao Jinyu nodded and said: "I'm a little tired, Phoenix, please help me go to the house to rest for a while!"
"good."
