"A true man breathes through his heels, and everyone breathes through their throats."
[Taikou Yiqi Jue] begins with these two sentences. Monk Zhang Er was confused by what Qin Xiao was reading. He looked back and saw that the sentences were also obscure and difficult to understand. He frowned and turned to the second page, only to find that
It is a picture of a human body sitting cross-legged.
The person in the picture is meditating in a weird posture, but the meridians and acupuncture points are outlined on his body, and they are connected by black lines. The black lines may be thick or thin.
Qin Xiao looked at the previous text and thought about it based on the pictures, and slowly understood it.
It took me more than half an hour to realize that this is the method of breathing.
He didn't know why the mysterious man gave him the [Immortal Spirit Art] and asked him to practice it, but the mysterious old woman saved him several times. In his heart, he was not only grateful to the old woman, but also in awe. He thought that since the other party allowed him to practice it,
, it will never harm yourself.
After understanding the meaning of the book, I followed the method in the book, sitting cross-legged, making a half-circle posture with both hands, and started breathing.
The mysterious old woman told him to spend half an hour every day practicing. He was afraid that he didn't have enough time, so he didn't know how long it had been since he sat there. He only waited until he heard the sound of a rooster crowing, and then he opened his eyes and saw the sky outside.
It was already dark, and before I knew it, I had been meditating for at least two hours.
Strangely enough, he had not slept all night. When he opened his eyes, instead of feeling tired, he felt a little refreshed. What was even more strange was that he could clearly feel a warmth on his chest.
breath.
Not long after meditating before, the warm breath suddenly appeared, and with the breathing, the warm breath also spread along the meridians to the limbs and bones of the whole body. The whole body seemed to be bathed in the warm sunshine, and
It was that kind of comfortable feeling that made him indulge in it, and he didn't stop until he was woken up by the rooster.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the warm feeling all over his body quickly disappeared, leaving only the residual warmth in his chest.
Qin Xiao looked at the sky, then put away the [Immortal Qi Jue] and found a secret place in the house to hide it. Guishou San was killed last night. Although he cleaned up, the smell of blood was always filling the house. At this moment
The smell of blood has dissipated a lot.
Guishou San was mistakenly thought by Zhen Yujiang to have betrayed the Hou Mansion, so he sent people to kill him, but Guishou San escaped.
Zhen Yujiang will definitely know that Guishou San narrowly escaped death, and will probably send people to search for Guishou San's whereabouts.
The Zhen family has spies everywhere in Zhen County. When Gui Shou San returns to the city and even comes to cause trouble for him, he doesn’t know if he is seen by others. If Gui Shou San is found in Mu Mu Lane, Zhen Yujiang may not let anyone know.
Find it secretly.
Qin Xiao knew that once Zhen Yujiang knew that he lived in Mu Mu Lane and Gui Shou San's whereabouts had also appeared in Mu Mu Xiang, he would immediately involve himself in it.
He just hoped that the three ghost hands would be secretive and that no one would discover him when he came to Mu Mu Lane.
However, Ghost Hand Three has turned into blood, and even if Zhen Yujiang has the power to reach the sky, it is impossible to find him again.
As soon as the sky got brighter, Qin Xiao had already left the courtyard gate and saw that Mapo's oil shop across the door was open early as usual. When passing by the door, he saw Mapo bending over to sweep the floor with a broom. Although Qin Xiao knew that Mapo must be
As before, he paid no attention to himself, but still called "Ma Po" over there.
In fact, as he expected, Mapo didn't seem to hear it, let alone pay attention. Qin Xiao could only smile to himself, took a few steps forward, suddenly frowned, stepped back to the oil shop, and looked inside again.
Mapo is still sweeping the floor.
Looking at Mapo's back, Qin Xiao had a strange feeling.
Looking from behind, the back of this Mapa is quite similar to that of the mysterious old woman last night.
Thinking about it, Qin Xiao felt that his idea was really ridiculous.
Although the mysterious person last night was also an old woman, she had great martial arts skills and was obviously an outsider.
Mapo, on the other hand, is an old man who guards an oil shop and is in his dying years. Before she moved to Mu Mu Lane, Mapo had lived in Mu Mu Xiang for several years.
The old man was blind and deaf, and a gust of wind might blow her down. Although the back figures looked somewhat similar, but thinking of the ghostly movement of the mysterious old woman last night, he connected the Mapo in front of him with the mysterious old woman. Qin Xiaodu
I feel like my thoughts are really crazy.
Perhaps they are all elderly people in their 60s and stooped, which is why their backs look so similar.
He put aside this ridiculous idea and on the way to the Yamen, he was wondering whether he should tell Captain Han or Capt. Meng about what happened last night.
In the entire Turtle City, those two people were the only ones that Qin Xiao could truly awe and trust.
Such a big thing happened last night, and Qin Xiao only felt that something was wrong if he didn't mention a word to the two of them.
But then he remembered that the mysterious old woman had told him to forget everything that happened before she left. The implication of that sentence was naturally that Qin Xiao should not reveal even a word to anyone.
He was a little tangled in his heart. When he arrived at the Yamen, he made up his mind. Since the mysterious old woman told him so, he had better keep the matter in his stomach.
After all, Guishou San was once a member of the Zhenhou Mansion, and the Zhenhou Mansion was eyeing the Duwei Mansion. Qin Xiao really didn't want Han Yunong and Han Yunong to get involved in this matter again, and he didn't want to bring any trouble to those two people.
Before he entered Jiazi Prison, a man came towards him and saw Qin Xiao. He already shouted: "Qin Xiao, I'm looking for you."
Qin Xiao raised his head and saw that it was Lu Hong who was arresting the head quickly. He cupped his hands and said, "Captain Lu."
Han Yunong was in charge of the Duwei Mansion, and under the Duwei Mansion, there were two teams of Ma Kuaibu Kuai, each with about twenty people.
The so-called fast horse refers to a fast hunter who is good at riding and shooting. Everyone is equipped with a fast horse. Naturally, there is no horse to match with a fast horse.
Because of this, Ma Kuai is usually responsible for the arrests of the entire Zhen County, while Bu Kuai is mainly responsible for the security and arrests of Turtle City.
In addition, the Duwei Mansion is in charge of prisons, and the four prisons named A, B, C and D all have jailers. Taking the prison named A only, in addition to Qin Xiao, there are nearly ten jailers responsible for guarding inside and outside the prison.
Meng Zimo and Lu Hong are the head catchers of Ma Kuai and Bu Kuai respectively.
The Guicheng Duwei Mansion once became the lackey of Zhenhou Mansion, acting based on the wishes of Zhenhou Mansion, so the imperial court transferred Han Yunong to take charge of the Duwei Mansion.
Han Yunong acted vigorously and resolutely. Not only did he handle several major cases in succession, he also carried out a major rectification of the Duwei Mansion. Many people were kicked out of the Duwei Mansion and a new group of Yamen were selected. These Yamen were trained by Han Yunong himself.
But they are also a group of elite soldiers.
Before Han Yunong came to Turtle City, Lu Hong was already a cadre of the Duwei Mansion. He was very popular in Turtle City, and he was not weak in ability and had excellent swordsmanship. Because he was really capable, he was promoted by Han Yunong.
"I should give you the documents from the criminal cao. On the eighth day of March, the man named Wen Budao will be sent to Fenggan Mansion." Lu Hong usually smiles and talks casually. He has a face all day long, as if everyone owes him money.
Generally speaking, Qin Xiao rarely sees him smiling.
Qin Xiao immediately said: "Already received."
"I'll pick him up in two days." Lu Hong said, "Originally, I sent a few people to escort him there. I just happened to go to Fenggan Mansion for some business, so I took someone to escort him. I just heard from Niu Zhi that Wen Budao seemed to be still there.
I don’t know that this case will be retried, so you can go back and inform him so that he can be prepared.”
Qin Xiaodao: "I'll tell him later." He stepped forward and asked softly: "Captain Lu, isn't this case already concluded? Why does it need to be retried again?"
"Let's just arrest people and guard the prisoners. Why do we ask so many irrelevant questions?" Lu Hong frowned, thought of something, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "The night before yesterday, you went to Zhenhou Mansion. What happened?
What? Why did the Zhenhou Mansion just let Mr. Meng out?"
"They framed Meng Captou, but later the misunderstanding was cleared up, so they naturally wanted to let him go." Qin Xiao said: "The captain didn't tell you?"
Lu Hong looked slightly embarrassed, but still asked: "What's the misunderstanding?"
"Actually, it's nothing. They just thought that Meng Captou had stolen their things, but in the end the things were found, and those who purge themselves will purge themselves." Qin Xiaodao: "Master Du Wei also said that this matter is over, so don't talk about it outside.
.”
Lu Hong nodded, pondered for a moment, thought of something, and asked: "By the way, how old are you this year? In what month were you born?"
Qin Xiao was startled and didn't understand why Lu Hong suddenly asked about his age, but still replied: "On the fifth day of August, I will be sixteen in five months."
"The fifth day of August? The sixteenth day of August?" Lu Hong shook his head and said, "That's not right."
"Captain, what's wrong?" Qin Xiao felt even more strange.
Lu Hong said: "It's nothing, you go and do your work first." Without saying much, he walked past Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao looked at Lu Hong's back and touched his head. Monk Zhang Er was confused.
When they arrived at Jiazi Prison, Niu Zhi was already tidying up in the squad room. When he saw Qin Xiao come in, he immediately poured a glass of water for Qin Xiao, put his hands on the table and put them down. Then he said: "Boss, Chief Lu just came here and asked us if
I received the paperwork to transfer Wen Budao, and I said I had it."
"I saw him." Qin Xiao sat back on the chair and stretched out his legs comfortably.
"Did he ask about your birthday?" Niu Zhi asked in a low voice.
Qin Xiao immediately sat up straight, stared into Niu Zhi's eyes and asked, "Did he ask you?"
"I asked." Niu Zhi looked disappointed: "It's a pity that mine doesn't match, so I'm not so lucky."
"Good luck?" Qin Xiao was even more surprised: "What's going on? Why does Captain Lu want to know our birthdays?"
Niu Zhi smiled mysteriously, and then he leaned close to Qin Xiao's ear and lowered his voice: "My cousin is working in Hucao. I just heard yesterday that Hucao started counting household registers a few days ago. A dozen people were doing it little by little.
Looking for someone in the piles of household registers."
"Looking for someone? Don't be verbose and explain clearly. What's going on?" Qin Xiao grabbed Niu Zhi's wrist: "Why did Hucao want to count the household registers? Who are they looking for?"
"We are looking for a man who was born in October and will be seventeen years old this year." Niu Zhi was a little excited: "If we find the person the governor mentioned, and it is confirmed that he was ordered by the court to find him, that person will skyrocket.
, and there will also be heavy rewards for those who find him."
