After I got home, I no longer thought about going to the palace, and the number of times I went to look for my father-in-law gradually became less and less. I felt that it was quite comfortable to live like this, so I thought about choosing a day to organize the wedding for Xiaolian and I, and we lived happily.
It’s a magical day. But the money in hand is limited. Sooner or later, when you run out of money, you have to find a way to find some income.
I was wandering alone in the capital that day. I saw an old bookstore and walked in. There were no customers in the store. The shopkeeper was chasing flies boredly. When he saw me entering, he came over to greet me politely. I pretended to look through the store.
Although I can recognize most of the books in traditional Chinese, the pages lined up are enough to make me dizzy. I flipped through a few books and felt bored, so I was about to leave. Just as I was about to leave the store, I suddenly heard a burst of noise outside the door.
Coughing, two eunuchs, an old one and a young one, walked in. The old eunuch looked sick and walked tremblingly. He walked into the shop with the help of the young eunuch. I was stunned and suddenly remembered the description of Hai Dafu in the book.
He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and said: "Excuse me, are you Eunuch Hai?" The old eunuch was startled for a moment, stared into my eyes, and nodded slowly. I was overjoyed, it really took no effort at all, and he actually let me
We bumped into each other here. Hai Dafu coughed twice and said, "Who are you and how do you know me?"
It’s broken. It’s completely different from the plot. Mao Shiba is not here. How can I let this old guy capture me and take me to the palace? What if he is in a bad mood today and kills me directly. What should I do? I think.
I couldn't come up with an idea for a long time, and I couldn't help but sweat profusely.
Hai Dafu saw my uneasiness, his eyes became fierce, and he said: "Who are you?" After saying that, he raised his right hand slightly. I was anxious, and I thought about it, and said: "I have something important to tell you.
, please lend me a moment to speak." Hai Dafu was quite surprised, but he still nodded and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, let me lend you a place, we have something to talk about." The shopkeeper was very obedient and said hurriedly: "You guys chat,
I'll make a cup of good tea for my father-in-law." He turned around and entered the back hall.
I looked at the little eunuch next to Hai Dafu again. Hai Dafu understood, nodded to the little eunuch, and said: "Xiao Guizi, get out." It turned out that this was the real Xiao Guizi. I took a closer look at him. This is unlucky.
The child looks to be eleven or twelve years old. He is dressed in a little eunuch's costume without a hat. His forehead is shaved cleanly. He has pretty features and is very energetic. He is a little bit more handsome than me, Wei Xiaobao and quasi-Xiao Guizi. Xiao Guizi thought
He said something, but when he saw Hai Dafu's eyes, he lowered his head and said, "Zha." Gongshen retreated outside the store and stood far away, looking at the store with his eyes.
Seeing everyone leaving, Hai Dafu looked at me and said, "Speak."
I made a fist with both hands, bowed, and whispered: "See Eunuch Hai, I am... I am sent by Master Xingchi."
Hai Dafu was startled. He quickly grabbed my hand and told me to shut up. He looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me." He turned around and walked out of the bookstore. His figure was not as strong as when he first entered the door.
That sick old man.
After he came out of the door, Hai Dafu said to Xiao Guizi, "Go back to the palace." He stopped talking and walked away quickly with his head lowered. Xiao Guizi and I trotted behind, but we could never catch up with him.
We entered the palace from the side door, which is the small door through which Sulla entered and exited. No one blocked us along the way. Occasionally we met a few guards. They seemed to be afraid of this sea old man, and they all got out of the way.
As I walked in the palace, I secretly took note of the path I took. I had been to the Forbidden City several times in the past few years, and it was not unfamiliar to me. I had vague impressions of some of the houses, but I didn't know who lived there.
Finally, when we arrived at a house, Hai Dafu asked Xiao Guizi to guard the door and led me into the room.
Following Hai Dafu into the house, a strong smell of medicine hit my face. I covered my nose. Hai Dafu closed the door and the room suddenly became dark. Hai Dafu walked around the room again and made sure it was safe.
Then he came over, took my hand and said, "Are you... are you the one... sent by him?" His hand was cold and wet, making my stomach turn sour. I nodded seriously,
I had already thought about my words along the way, thinking that it was a good thing that Mr. Hai didn't let me say it at the time, otherwise I might not have been able to make up the lie.
In order to confirm, Hai Dafu asked me in detail about Xingchi, that is, many details about Emperor Shunzhi's stay on Mount Wutai, and I was able to answer them one by one. His protector was Xingdian, his master was Yulin, and he was on Mount Wutai.
He went to Qingliang Temple to become a monk, etc. Hai Dafu didn’t know much about the old emperor’s current situation. Seeing that most of my answers were correct, and not many people knew about this matter, he believed me.
Hai Dafu was excited and asked in a trembling voice: "Master Huang...how is he?" I said: "He is very good, he misses you very much." Hai Dafu finally shed tears, coughed violently, gasped, and murmured
He murmured: "The emperor's grace is great, the emperor's grace is great." I took the opportunity to say again: "Master ordered me to come and see if your cough is better." Hai Dafu couldn't bear it any longer, and he knelt down, his head heavy.
I fell on the bluestone floor and started crying. Seeing this scene of deep love for my old master, I couldn't help but be a little moved, and regretted that I shouldn't have been too sentimental.
Hai Dafu's mood gradually calmed down, and then he remembered that I was beside him. He quickly stood up, gave me a fist, and said, "I dare you to ask me what I call you." Haha, he was really polite to the people around the old emperor. I hurriedly returned the greeting:
"I don't dare to accept it, I'm Wei Xiaobao." Hai Dafu said: "He... what does he have to do?" I paused, sorted out my path, and said, "Master ordered me to come because there are two main reasons. One is to understand.
Let’s take a look at the progress of things here. Secondly, let me enter the palace as a eunuch, no, no, I will disguise myself as a eunuch, stay by your side, and assist you in your investigation.”
Hai Dafu hesitated for a moment and said: "The matter of disguised as a eunuch is easy to handle. Regarding the matter of Concubine Dong E and the Forty-Two Chapters, I will report it in detail in the evening." The old turtle regarded me as an imperial envoy, and he looked like a slave when he spoke.
, I feel great joy in my heart.
Hai Dafu opened the door and said: "Xiao Guizi, come in." Xiao Guizi ran in nervously, looking at Hai Dafu's red eyes, at a loss. Hai Dafu said again: "Give the guests some tea."
Guizi responded and turned around to leave. The moment he turned around, Hai Dafu raised his hand and lightly hit Xiao Guizi on the back of the head without making a sound. Xiao Guizi fell to the ground without saying a word and twisted a few times.
He fell and stopped moving. I was stunned and said in a trembling voice: "You... what are you doing?" Hai Dafu said: "You put on his clothes and pretend to be Xiao Guizi first." I said: "I don't care.
Just pretend to be a little eunuch, there is no need to kill people." Hai Dafu said: "You don't understand the things in the palace. If there is an extra little eunuch for nothing, without any records, something will happen. If you pretend to be the little eunuch next to me, others will not understand.
I will doubt you, and besides, Xiao Guizi has a waist card, so it will be convenient for you to go in and out of the palace when doing business."
Hearing this, I stopped talking and thought to myself that this little Guizi is really pitiful. No matter what he does, he will inevitably die. It seems that this is his fate. He will either die in the hands of Wei Xiaobao or Hai Dafu. If I don't show up,
It was very possible that she would be killed by the fake queen mother. Thinking of this, I felt a little comforted and accepted this fact.
Xiao Guizi and I are about the same figure, so his clothes fit me well. The eunuch's clothes are nothing like those shown on TV, but the style is similar. The key is the fabric. The whole shirt is made of coarse cloth, which can be said to be gray or blue.
, as ugly as it is. I remember that the eunuchs in the TV show Huanzhu were all wearing silk clothes. Although I was cursing the TV director, costumes, and props in my heart, I kept putting my clothes on properly.
At this time, Hai Dafu took out a small bottle from the inner room, walked to Xiao Guizi's body, turned his left hand out, and there was a dagger in his hand. The dagger slashed across Xiao Guizi's body, and a bloody mouth appeared on Xiao Guizi's body. Then Hai Dafu took the
The bottle sprinkled a small amount of powdered medicine on the bloody mouth. I saw that the wound on Xiao Guizi's body began to roll outwards and foamed, making a sizzling sound, and then yellow water continued to seep out. I opened my mouth in shock,
But I couldn't make a sound. This must be corpse powder. It was too scary and disgusting. I tried not to look at it, but I couldn't move my whole body. I watched Xiao Guizi turn into blood in front of me.
The person then turns into a white bone, and finally turns into a puddle of yellow water.
I spat it out with a "wow" sound. Hai Dafu looked at me and said: "Haha, Brother Wei, oh no, you are Xiao Guizi now, which scares you." I didn't care about his mocking look, and vomited loudly,
Until I vomited sour water, there was nothing left in my stomach to vomit, but I still kept retching. Seeing that I was really uncomfortable with vomiting, Hai Dafu pointed to the tea on the Eight Immortals table and motioned for me to take a few sips. I quickly put it away
He waved his hand, suppressed his cramping stomach, and said, "I have other things to do, little man. Let's talk about it some other time. Let's just say goodbye." Hai Dafu laughed and said, "Although you have Xiao Guizi's waist card, you can't leave now."
No." He raised his finger and pointed at the sky, and then said, "Look at the time, the nine gates are closed. If you have something to do, you have to do it tomorrow. You will stay here tonight, and I will tell you what I know about the situation so far."
Hearing this, I secretly screamed in pain. Xiaolian is still waiting for me at home. If I don't come back this night, I can't send a message. I don't know how anxious this little girl will be.
I was anxious because I couldn't get out after all, so I had to stay patiently and chat with Hai Dafu. After a while, a young eunuch brought food to him. Hai Dafu was in charge of the imperial dining room.
The food that came was also extremely sumptuous, and it was the first time in my life that I tasted the skills of the royal chef.
After dinner, Hai Dafu told me what he had learned. In fact, I knew all these things. It was just that several imperial concubines were turned into bones and died, including the old emperor's favorite concubine Dong E and the biological mother of the current young emperor.
, the forty-two chapters of the Sutra that the old emperor wanted him to search for didn’t have any clues. So I didn’t pay much attention to what Hai Dafu said. But Hai Dafu saw that I was absent-minded, and thought that the late emperor was not satisfied with his progress, so he couldn’t help but
The more I talked, the more nervous I became. In the end, I was mumbling and speechless. I felt strange and glanced at him. A drop of sweat slid down Hai Dafu's forehead. Hai Dafu lowered his head and said, "You deserve to die, you slave. Let the old emperor
I'm worried about you." I could see clearly, so I comforted him and said, "Father-in-law, don't blame yourself. Master knows that this matter is difficult to handle, and he also knows that father-in-law is ill, so he ordered me to assist him. His old man came home and said, father-in-law, you are
My martial arts skills are unparalleled, but I don't have any martial arts skills. I want you to give me some advice, father-in-law." Upon hearing this, Hai Dafu immediately fell to the ground and said, "How dare you disobey your orders." After saying this, he kowtowed three times. This old slave should be receiving the imperial edict. I
He smiled secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth, "My father-in-law, please get up." He raised his hand to help Hai Dafu.
Hai Dafu breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his body, looked at me, became kind now, and said, "I wonder what kind of kung fu Mr. Xiao Guizi has learned before?" Although I already knew that I was going to pretend to be Xiao Guizi as a eunuch, I listened to him.
He was still confused for a long time before he realized that he was calling me. He was about to say that I have learned Tai Chi, but suddenly I remembered that I learned Tai Chi from an old man and an old lady in the park.
Passed." Hai Dafu said: "That's fine. You are still young anyway, so you can do everything in time. I will first teach you the Shaolin Temple's inner martial arts. The main thing is to increase the internal strength. This is the basis of all martial arts training and the launching of various moves.
The foundation. When the internal strength is high, even a flower or a grass can hurt someone." I have read a lot of martial arts novels, and I know that this old man is not lying, so I said: "It's so helpful, father-in-law."
Hai Dafu asked me to sit cross-legged on the couch, with my five hearts facing the sky, that is, the palms of my hands, the soles of my feet, and the center of my eyebrows were all facing up, with the thumbnails of both hands pressing against the pads of my middle fingers. I closed my eyes, and then began to guide my breathing, which was virtualized by my brain.
There was a burst of air in my body, which led the air to travel throughout my body. After about thirty minutes, the air traveled throughout my body and was then expelled with my breathing. Then he led me to do it three more times, and I wrote it down.
After nearly an hour of explanation, Hai Dafu was so exhausted that he started coughing non-stop. I felt quite guilty and told him that I had remembered it. He was worried and asked me to do it again.
take a break.
After Hai Dafu went to bed, I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about Xiaolian and was very irritated. To kill time, I started to meditate with my legs crossed and practiced internal energy from memory. I don't know how many times I did it. When the sky was dim, I jumped down to the ground.
I felt refreshed, and I felt that my whole body was full of strength. I vaguely felt that there was something in my lower abdomen. Maybe besides farts, there was actually some internal energy inside. It seemed that this authentic Shaolin Kung Fu was really not easy, so I started practicing it.
I felt refreshed and refreshed overnight, and regardless of whether I could kill someone thousands of miles away, I benefited a lot just from keeping fit.
There was a squeaking sound in the study room, and the author was heard shouting: "They clearly have recommendation votes in their hands, but they only want to watch! They just don't watch~~~~~~~~~~~~~
