Chapter one hundred and ninety-six word measurement
Li Xiu and Chu Jun couldn't help but look in the direction of his finger, and saw a transparent silk thread like fishing line tied to the beam of the wooden house, with a bead slightly larger than a table tennis ball hanging from the bottom of the thread.
The beads were as crystal clear as jade, milky white all over, and the surface seemed to be covered with a layer of pulp, as round and round as jade.
Although it is very beautiful, it looks like an ordinary jade bead. There is nothing special about it, and I don't see it shining.
"Although this bead is very beautiful, it doesn't shine." Chu Jun said.
"Don't worry, it's not the time yet. Why does it shine in broad daylight? Naturally, it will only shine at night. Otherwise, why hang it on the beam?" said Master Ba.
Li Xiu thought to himself: "Even if this jade bead really shines at night, it is probably not a Suihou bead. Who would hang such a treasure on the beam of the house as a lamp? This way, there is no fear of being stolen.
?"
Although he felt that this bead was unlikely to be a Hou Bead, after seeing it, Li Xiu still felt hungry in his belly, which made Li Xiu a little surprised.
"Is this the bead you are looking for?" Seeing that neither of them spoke, Master Ba asked again.
"The pearl we are looking for is called the Suihou Pearl. I don't know if it is this one." Li Xiu said casually.
"Who knows the name of this bead? I only heard the hostess say that this bead was dug out from under an old pine tree when the wooden house was built. She saw that the bead could shine at night, so she hung it in the room.
The top of the beam is used as a lamp." Mr. Ba said.
Li Xiu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, because the vase weirdo told him that the location where the Suihou Pearl was hidden was under an old pine tree.
"Could it be that this jade bead is really the Suihou Pearl?" Li Xiu raised his head and stared at the jade bead, somewhat unbelievable that he had found the Suihou Pearl so easily.
If it is really the Suihou Pearl, and the owner here actually uses it like this, he probably hasn't discovered its true value yet, and maybe he still has a chance to get rid of it.
"If this is what you are looking for, then I advise you to go back quickly." Master Ba said with a smile.
"Why do you want to go back? If it is really it, we can discuss it with the hostess and see if we can pay to buy it." Chu Jun said.
"Money may be very precious to some people, but to others, it may not even be worth a piece of toilet paper. Unfortunately, the owner here is the second type of person. Money is very valuable to others."
It makes no sense at all." Master Ba paused and continued: "What are you looking for this bead for?"
"To be honest, my friend once buried a Suihou Pearl here. He asked me to come and get it. I don't know if it is this one." Li Xiu looked at the bead and said.
"According to what you said, it should be nine out of ten. It's a pity that the owner is not here. Otherwise, if you talk to her, maybe she will let you take the bead away." Ba Ye said with a smile.
Li Xiu thought to himself: "If it were really Suihou Pearl, how could she let me take it away?"
"When will the master here come back?" Chu Jun couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, maybe in three to five days, maybe in ten years, she will come back naturally when she is happy. I remember the last time she came back was seven years ago." Master Ba calculated with his fingers.
"The owner here is really a weirdo." Chu Jun clicked his tongue.
"Strange? The strange thing is not just this one. I have been a guest here for decades and have seen her six times in total. But every time I see her, she has always looked like a beautiful girl and has never changed.
, as if time has forgotten her, leaving traces on her body. I have grown old over the past few decades, but she is still as young and beautiful as a girl." Ba Ye said.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Could a person who has not aged for decades become an immortal person?
If the owner here is really an immortal from Changshengtian, then everything would make sense. This is why the people from Changshengtian retreated obediently after seeing that word and never came again.
While the two were deep in thought, they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
"Could it be that the owner of this place is back?" Chu Jun was overjoyed. He heard that Master Ba described the mistress as so mysterious and beautiful, and wanted to see her true appearance.
But Master Ba curled his lips and said, "Have you ever seen someone who still needs to ring the doorbell when he returns to his own home?"
Chu Jun was startled and said sarcastically: "Maybe I forgot to bring the key."
After waiting for a while, the doorbell rang again.
After hearing the doorbell ring again, Master Ba suddenly said to them: "If someone comes in later, no matter what you hear or see, don't make a sound, let alone leave this room."
Although they didn't know what Master Ba meant, seeing that he said it solemnly and that it seemed to have something important to do, they both nodded in agreement.
Soon the doorbell rang again, and it was already the third time.
Master Ba waited for a while, and seemed to sense that the person outside the door had not left, so he asked loudly: "Who is outside the door?"
"Disciples Li Qingyin and Bai Ying of Changshengtian, please see the Eighth Master." The voice coming from outside the door made both Li Xiu and Chu Jun stunned.
"Why are they here?" Li Xiu was a little confused.
"Come in." Following Master Ba's voice, the door outside opened automatically, and the bamboo curtain hanging on the door of the wooden house automatically fell down, blocking the scene inside the wooden house.
Through the bamboo curtain, you can't see what's inside the wooden house from the outside, but from inside the wooden house, you can see the outside scene.
After a while, I saw two women walking around the row of bamboos. One was tall and tall with slender legs and very amazing lines; the other was small and graceful. Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Qingyin and Bai Ying.
"Li Qingyin, Bai Ying has met the Eighth Master." Li Qingyin and Bai Ying came to the wooden house in the middle and saluted the door of the wooden house, but made no intention of opening the curtain and entering.
"What are you doing here?" Master Ba asked casually.
"We came to see you, Mr. Ba, of course, to ask you to help us measure our characters." Bai Ying said.
"Do you understand the rules?" Master Ba asked.
"Understood, please take a look, Mr. Ba." Bai Ying said, taking out two not too big boxes from the bag, opening the two boxes and placing them on the stone steps in front of the door.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun couldn't help but look down. Through the bamboo curtain, they saw that the two boxes were filled with gems. One box was filled with rubies, and the other was filled with sapphires.
Judging from the size and quality of those rubies and sapphires, they should all be top quality.
"Yes, each of you can test one word. Who comes first?" Master Ba glanced at the gems in the box and said calmly.
Li Qingyin and Bai Ying exchanged a few words, and finally Bai Ying said, "I'll test it first."
"Okay, there is a bamboo pole stuck on the ground next to you. Just use the bamboo pole to write a word on the ground." After Master Ba finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and ate the remaining noodles.
Bai Ying pulled out a bamboo pole stuck next to her and used it to draw on the ground. She wrote a lot of strokes, and it seemed that the word should be a bit complicated.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun were both curious and wanted to know what word Bai Ying wrote.
Soon, they saw that the word Bai Ying wrote on the ground was "pretend".
"Please enlighten me, Mr. Ba." Bai Ying inserted the bamboo pole back and said to the door.
"What do you want to test? Good or bad luck or marriage?" Master Ba asked.
"I don't know about good or bad luck, nor do I predict marriage. I just want to find someone, and I want Master Ba to give me some advice." Bai Ying didn't dare to make any mistakes here, but her words still sounded a bit domineering.
"Wearing a wrap, top and bottom, it means that the person you are looking for should be a young man wrapped in clothes. He should be a male magic costumer, right?" Mr. Ba said while looking at the writing on the ground.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun both looked at Bai Ying, wondering if Ba Ye was misled.
In their opinion, this was deception. How could they figure out from just one word that the person the other party was looking for was a male magician? This was too outrageous.
"Yes, it's a magic costume master. Master Ba may be able to figure out who this magic costume master is and where he is now?" Bai Ying asked quickly.
"Let me go, I really got him right. The deception was too accurate. Bai Ying couldn't be the one asking for help, right? If she was the one asking for help, who would she be acting for? Could it be that she was setting a trap for the two of us?
"Li Xiu and Chu Jun looked at each other, and both saw the wariness in the other's eyes.
But Master Ba ignored them. He looked at the words on the ground, counted them with his fingers for a while and said: "The twelve pictures of the words on the ground are exactly the number of the twelve earthly branches. It is a cycle of reincarnation. It means that this person is located far away from you.
It shouldn't be far, but I'm just going around in circles, but you still can't see me. I'll give you a few words of encouragement. I'm only a few feet away from him, but I'm trying so hard to find him, so confused that I can't count. When I get up, it's time to turn around.
"
"Master Ba, I'm a girl who can't understand this. Can you please help me interpret the signature?" Bai Ying asked with a smile.
"It means you don't have to look for him, and you can't find him if you look for him. Maybe he will appear in front of you naturally when you don't look for him. Okay, next one." Mr. Ba seemed to be a little impatient.
Bai Ying wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Qingyin.
Li Qingyin picked up the bamboo pole, wrote a word on it, then saluted to the door and said: "Eighth Master, I am also looking for someone, please give me some advice."
Li Xiu looked down and found that the word written on the ground was actually "李", and he couldn't help but feel a little thumped in his heart.
"The person Bai Ying was looking for before was probably herself in the magic costume. Now that Li Qingyin has written the character "Li", could it be that she has discovered that I am the magic costume master who stole the super-spiritual gem? That would be troublesome.
"Li Xiu couldn't help but frown.
He himself is not afraid of Changshengtian, but with so many people in the City of Light, if they are really targeted by Changshengtian, the consequences may be serious.
"It seems that I have to go to Hongsha City immediately. Only by joining Changshengtian can I avoid these troubles." Li Xiu thought deeply.
"Li Xia is your son. The person you are looking for should also be a man, and his surname is Li." Mr. Ba said looking at the word "Li" on the ground.
After hearing this, Chu Jun couldn't help but look at Li Xiu who was standing aside. Li Xiu shook his head and said it had nothing to do with him.
"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Ba can detect where he is now?" Li Qingyin asked.
"You can't get out from the side." Master Ba suddenly said.
"Eighth Master, what you said is a bit too much. Who doesn't know that you are a super spirit with a contract between heavenly inscriptions, runes and light, and you can even detect things in the demon country? The two of us just want to detect the whereabouts of ordinary people.
"The result is good for you. If you say it, it means you didn't say it. If you measured it, it means you didn't measure it. Don't you feel guilty for taking these two boxes of gems?" Bai Ying couldn't help but say.
"Bai Ying." Li Qingyin quickly stopped Bai Ying from continuing.
But Master Ba smiled and said, "You are the granddaughter of Bai Jingtian, right? You have the same character as your grandfather."
"No matter how bad my grandfather is, he will never deceive the younger generation here." Bai Ying said with curled lips.
"Master Eight, can you tell me why it can't be measured?" Li Qingyin stopped Bai Ying and asked.
"Your surname is Li, and the person you are looking for is also surnamed Li. Two trees form a forest, and it is difficult to see the way in the forest. It is difficult to distinguish between two people, and it is difficult to find a confidant. You are not looking for someone, you are looking for your sweetheart, and
You haven't made up your mind yet, how can I tell where your sweetheart is?" Master Ba smiled.
"I'm just looking for someone. If you don't want to be tested, Master Ba, forget it. You don't have to deal with me, a junior like this." Li Qingyin's cheeks turned slightly red and she pretended to be calm.
"You will know later whether it is accurate or not. I will also give you a few words of approval." Ba Ye paused and said: "There are gods, immortals, riches and nobles. Good and bad luck have their own reasons. A broad heart can still cure all diseases. It turns out that you are blessed.
people."
"Please ask Mr. Ba to interpret the signature." Li Qingyin said.
"The noble person you are destined to be is your destined person." Ba Ye pondered for a moment and then said: "You should also know the meaning of the idiom "Melon fields and plums under the plums". When passing by the melon fields, don't squat down to tie your shoelaces, so as not to be misunderstood that you are picking them.
Melon. When walking under the plum tree, don’t raise your hands to arrange your hat, otherwise you will be seen picking plums. The melon is green, and there is a hat under the plum tree. Your destined person should have a green hat."
Li Qingyin's face changed after hearing this. Bai Ying on the side opened her eyes wide when she heard the word cuckold. She looked at Li Qingyin and said, "Li Xiu has a cuckold. You can't be..."
"No, this word test is not accurate. Master Eight, we came to ask you to test the word and find someone, but you are joking with us two juniors. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Li Qingyin said while looking at the door curtain.
"I've already measured the handwriting. Believe it or not, it's up to you, but my skill has been neglected for many years, so it may or may not be accurate." Mr. Ba said with a smile.
"It's definitely not accurate. How can someone like Li Xiu be worthy of the daughter of our president, Changshengtian? You must have made a mistake." Bai Ying curled her lips and said.
"It turns out she is the president's daughter. I have offended Lao Baduo. Please don't take offense, Miss." Ba Ye said.
"Baye, you are serious. Qingyin has one last question to ask." Li Qingyin said.
"Miss, please tell me." Mr. Ba said seriously.
"Are the people Bai Ying and I are plotting against the same person?" Li Qingyin stared at the door curtain with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through it.
Li Xiu's heart tightened when he heard this: "Sure enough, Li Qingyin has already suspected that I am the magician who stole the super spiritual gem, but how did she guess it? I should not have revealed any flaws."
"I'm sorry, Miss, I really can't answer this question. If you really want to know, then try another word." Mr. Ba said thoughtfully.
"Then forget it, Master Ba, let's take our leave." Li Qingyin turned and left.
"You are so shameless, you still want to defraud us of your gems? Don't think about good things. I will tell my grandfather later and ask him to come and settle the score with you." Bai Ying made a face at the door curtain, turned around and chased Li Qingyin.
"Haha, if Bai Jingtian dares to come, I'm afraid I'll have to celebrate with gongs and drums." Master Ba laughed.
After Li Qingyin and Bai Ying walked out of the door, the door closed automatically.
Only then did Master Ba come down again, looked at the two of them and said, "The master hasn't returned yet, so I'm afraid you can't take this bead away yet. Are you going to wait for the master to come back, or do you want me to give you a trick?"
"Please ask Master Ba for advice?" Li Xiu looked at Master Ba and said.
"Have you seen the two boxes of gems outside the door? One of you takes a box of rubies and goes to the red wooden house. The other person takes the sapphire and goes to the blue wooden house. Use these two boxes of gems and the two wooden houses.
Everyone inside, please come back with something different, and I will decide to return this bead to you, and I will explain it to the mistress when she comes back," said the eighth master.
"There are other guests in the room next to it? This owner is really hospitable." Chu Jun asked with a smile: "Master Ba, you and them are neighbors. We are in the same house and the distance is so close. Why don't you
How about changing it yourself?"
"If I could go, would I still need you? I can't get out of this door." Master Ba sighed.
"Can't you get out?" Chu Jun was very confused. He got up and walked to the door, then came in through the door. In the end, nothing happened.
"Eighth Master, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this door, how could it be possible that I can't get out?" Chu Jun looked at Eighth Master and asked.
"I told you that you don't understand, so I'm just asking if you are willing to help me change things. If you are willing, go and change. If not, just leave." Master Ba seemed a little unhappy and said coldly.
"Ba Ye, what do you want us to change?" Li Xiu looked at Ba Ye and asked.
"You go to the red wooden house and change a bowl of water for me, and ask the boy to go to the blue wooden house and change a leaf for me," Master Ba said.
"Master Ba, can I go to the two rooms and change things by myself?" Li Xiu asked calmly.
With the Speed of Light 2 by his side, he is not afraid even if he encounters a super spirit. It's time to see what this eighth master is going to do.
"Of course you can, but if you go to two wooden houses alone, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get in and out, and you will miss my business." Ba Ye said.
"How do you say this? Why can't I get out if I enter two rooms by myself?" Li Xiu asked puzzled.
"Of those two wooden houses, one is in the extreme yin position and the other is in the extreme yang position. A person's body experiences extreme yin and extreme yang in a short period of time. Even if he does not die, he may not escape a serious illness."
Said ambiguously.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I exchange the things back, you will give me this bead?" Li Xiu stood up and asked.
"Not bad." Master Ba nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go get your things back." Li Xiu said and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute, you write a word first and let me test the good or bad luck for you." Master Ba stopped Li Xiu who picked up the box and walked towards the red wooden house.
