Chapter Twelve After the Dead

Shui Hanyan also glanced at Xiao Yunfan and thought to himself: You must not let this stinky thief look down on you, but how should you divide this wine? After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, "No, no, I can't think of the answer. Tell me how to divide it?"

Xiao Yunfan coughed and said, "You tell you what your name is now, I will tell you." Shui Hanyan blurted out and said, "My name is Shui Hanyan, you know now!" Xiao Yunfan smiled and said, "So your name is Shui Hanyan, it sounds quite nice!"

Shui Hanyan heard his praise and was secretly happy, saying, "My name sounds nice, and it is naturally a hundred times stronger than you, Xiao Pofan." Xiao Yunfan pointed to his nose and said, "Hey! Miss Shui, my name is Xiao Yunfan, it is not Xiao Pofan. It is said that the wind and waves will lead to the time, and the clouds are hanging across the sea. My name was taken by the master from Li Bai's poem."

Shui Hanyan smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Xiao Yunfan, now you can tell me how the shopkeeper poured out four taels of wine for the customer." Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "For the sake of calling me Mr. Xiao, I will tell you. There are four steps in total:

The first step is to pour the eight liang of wine from the wine jar into a three-liang wine bucket, and then pour the three liang wine bucket into a five-liang wine bucket;

The second step is to pour the remaining five liang in the wine jar into the three liang wine bucket, and then pour the three liang wine bucket into the five liang. At this time, one liang is left in the three liang wine bucket;

The third step is to pour the five-liang wine bucket into the wine jar, and then pour the one-liang wine from the three-liang wine bucket into the five-liang wine bucket;

Step 4: Pour the wine in the jar into a three-liang wine bucket and add it to the full amount. Finally, pour the three-liang wine into the five-liang wine bucket. Wouldn’t it be just a matter of four-liang wine.”

Shui Hanyan shook his head and said, "You are talking about three or five liang and five liang, like a tongue twister, making people dizzy."

Xiao Yunfan immediately woke up and thought to himself: Such strange questions are naturally difficult for other girls. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Miss Shui, what homework do you do in Xuannv Palace?"

Shui Hanyan said, "This is too much. Our Xuannv Palace is divided into nine parts, and the master of the nine parts teaches lessons to the disciples in the palace. In addition to practicing this martial arts, we also need to learn the six arts, six methods and eight techniques."

Xiao Yunfan admired her and thought to himself: Xuannv Palace is not bad for being the three authentic sects in the world. An ordinary disciple actually has to practice so many skills. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "I know the six arts, which are rituals, music, shooting, imperialism, books, and numbers, but what are these six methods and eight techniques?"

Shui Hanyan said proudly: "The eight techniques are the lessons that only Class B disciples can practice, including chess, medicine, physiognomy, astrology, illusion, divination, geomancy, and mechanism. The six techniques are the lessons that Class A disciples practice, including craftsmanship, farming, politics, commercial, military, and military methods." After hearing this, Xiao Yunfan secretly said to himself: Can so many knowledge be learned by one person?

As the two of them spoke, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and a large dark cloud slowly moved from the southeast direction. The dark clouds seemed to be a ball of ink in the dome, smudged freely.

Xiao Yunfan stood up and said, "It's going to rain, hurry up and enter the cave." Shui Hanyan looked up at Tianqiong and said, "Yes! It seems that there will be a heavy rain." The two of them moved the fire and the grilled fish into the cave.

Shortly after entering the cave, I saw a strong wind blowing, and the trees on the opposite cliff swayed violently in the wind. The heavy bean raindrops fell on the ground and turned into water spots the size of copper coins. The rain was fast and dense, and it seemed that a water curtain was weaving between the sky and the earth.

Shui Hanyan saw Xiao Yunfan standing at the entrance of the cave and said, "Brother Xiao, come in quickly. The wound on your body has not healed yet, so I can't stand such a strong wind." Xiao Yunfan heard him call him brother for the first time, and his face was stunned at first, and he was immediately extremely happy. In addition, her words were mostly caring, so she said loudly: "It's okay, your medicine is very good, my wound has healed." As he said that, his eyes turned to the distance.

A thunder rumbling, and a bright white lightning flew out of the clouds, and the lightning shone snow-white around him. The rain was skewed by the wind, turning into fine gouache and pounced on Xiao Yunfan's face. He felt extremely cool and let the tiny water droplets flow along his forehead to his chin.

In the hazy, I saw the big river, with waves rolling and the water surging. Soon after, the water rushed to the shore. Xiao Yunfan's face changed: "No! If you go like this, the river water must be poured into the cave." Shui Hanyan stood behind him, his face pale and light

He said indifferently: "What should I do if this?"

Xiao Yunfan walked towards the stone bed and reached out to pull the stone button. The iron chain hung down again. Xiao Yunfan quickly pulled off his clothes, tore it into a cloth strip and handed it to Shui Hanyan and said, "Wrap this cloth strip around your hand, and then climb up along the chain. When you almost reach the top of the cave, there was another stone cave on one side of the stone wall. When you entered the stone cave, you would be fine."

Shui Hanyan looked at Xiao Yunfan and said, "Then, what should you do?" Xiao Yunfan became anxious and shouted, "Hurry up, otherwise the water will flow into the cave, and neither of you nor me will survive at that time."

Shui Hanyan bit his lip, hung Mingzhu around his neck, jumped, held the chain in both hands, and crawled up. Xiao Yunfan said, "You go up first, I'll pick up the food and come up later."

Sure enough, the river flooded the shore and approached the cave bit by bit. Xiao Yunfan was quite quick to put all the important things into his bag, hung them on his shoulders, and then picked up the sword sheath and inserted them behind him.

The other side wanted to hold the chain and climb upwards, but a large stream of water rushed into the cave like a beast, hitting the cave wall and splashing countless water splashes. The water surged, and soon submerged the cave.

Shui Hanyan couldn't help but become scared alone in the quiet room. Although the night pearl on her chest emitted a faint light, she was still scared. The coffin in front of her seemed to be able to jump out of some terrible things at any time.

A heart was pounding and pounding. She had been with her sisters since she was a child, and rarely had a lonely time. However, at this moment she became more and more scared. Her eyes were staring at the entrance of the cave, praying in her heart: Brother Xiao, you won’t have any trouble, right? You, you must be safe.

Just as she was praying with all her concentration, Xiao Yunfan crawled out of the hole. Before he could stand still, Shui Hanyan stared at him for a moment, and suddenly, he jumped into his arms and started crying. Xiao Yunfan was at a loss, slowly stretched out his palm, gently stroked her hair, and said softly: "Shui sister, don't be afraid, Brother Xiao is here." Shui Hanyan cried even harder when she heard his voice. Xiao Yunfan's clothes on her chest were wet with her tears.

Shui Hanyan sobbed and said, "Xiao...Brother Xiao, I thought I would never see you again." Xiao Yunfan gently patted her back and smiled and said, "Silly girl, you saved Brother Xiao's life. I haven't had time to repay you yet, how could I bear to die? Besides, I am a lucky and loyal jade lion. With the blessing of the Bodhisattva, it is even more impossible to die! Okay, don't cry."

Shui Hanyan touched the tears on her face and said, "Xiao...Brother Xiao, there is a coffin here, I'm so scared!" Xiao Yunfan said, "Don't be afraid. With Brother Xiao here, all kinds of demons and monsters will go aside!"

After a long time, Shui Hanyan stopped crying. Suddenly, he realized that he was in Xiao Yunfan's arms, his nose was filled with a strong masculine aura, and his cheeks were flushed.

She raised her head and said, "Brother Xiao, the cave below has been flooded. How should we get out now?" Xiao Yunfan raised his chin and said, "Whether we can leave this time depends on this coffin." Shui Hanyan said in surprise: "Coffin? Is there a passage in the coffin to another place?" Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said, "No, but we really have to rely on this coffin to leave here."

Shui Hanyanqi said, "Can the dead in the coffin help us." Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "It can be said that! I discovered this tomb when I came last time. This tomb was built on the top of the cave, and how did this coffin come up? I was still thinking about this question before. Today I finally figured out. There are many hanging coffins on the opposite cliff. I wonder if you have seen it. To transport this coffin to a cliff a hundred feet high, it is definitely not manpower to do, but requires the help of water. Every time the river floods, the water surface will rise. If the water rises to half the waist of the cliff, it is not a problem to dig a tomb for hanging a hanging coffin. This coffin can be used as a boat. As long as we hide it in the coffin and then find a way to let the coffin fall into the river, we can leave here. Although this move is very risky, there is no other way."

Soon, Xiao Yunfan arranged the coffin properly, and the two of them lay like a coffin. It turned out that there was another secret room in the stone cave, and the other secret room had an open-air platform. Xiao Yunfan pushed the coffin to the platform, half hanging in the air and half facing the ground. After everything was ready, he kicked the heavy object in advance to the tail of the coffin. The tail of the coffin became heavier and he shook violently. With a thump, the coffin came from

Falling into the river on the platform.

The coffin kept flowing downstream, not knowing where to go. Shui Hanyan was very scared, and her hand held Xiao Yunfan's hand tightly. The river surface was surging, and the coffin floated on the water surface and allowed the rapids to push forward. In front of it was a cliff, which was thrown into the air by the force of the water, and then quickly fell into a deep pool, splashing countless water splashes, and it took a long time to slowly float out from the bottom of the water.

Xiao Shui and the others had already fainted in the coffin. Xiao Yunfan woke up first, and felt a splitting headache. In the darkness, he used all his strength to kick the lid on the coffin. The lid of the coffin flew into the air with a bang, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The sun was dazzling, and Xiao Yunfan jumped out of the coffin. He looked around for a while. Not far away was a large waterfall, and under the waterfall was a huge pool. The coffin was washed to the shore along the river channel.

This time he escaped from death, he was extremely happy and roared three times at the sky. Shui Hanyan was awakened by the roar, turned over and sat up. He looked at Xiao Yunfan and said, "Brother Xiao, are we not dead?"

Xiao Yunfan said happily: "Yes! Finally, God is favored by us, we will survive the disaster!" As he said that, he reached out and pulled Shui Hanyan out of the coffin.

Shui Hanyan said, "Brother Xiao, where are we going next?" Xiao Yunfan pointed to the forest beside him and said, "Shui sister, let's go out of this forest. If we find the way, we will send you back to your master." Shui Hanyan lowered her head and said, "What about you?" Xiao Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have no clue about the bloody incident in Bashan. Now I have to continue to investigate this matter."

The two walked along a path into the woods. Shui Hanyan walked very slowly. She thought to herself: It would be great if I returned to my master and the others, but I was a little reluctant to part with Brother Xiao. If I said that the days I spent with Master and Sisters were much longer than those I spent with Brother Xiao, why can’t I let go of it?

Xiao Yunfan didn't notice that her expression was different, so he thought she was tired. He said, "Shui Mei, I think you are probably tired, let's take a break." Shui Hanyan couldn't even ask for it when he heard him say this.

The two of them rested for a moment and walked out of the woods. At this time, a mountain wall blocked the two of them from their way. Xiao Yunfan looked up and saw three powerful and powerful words engraved on the mountain wall: Cui Weiju. Xiao Yunfan raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Shui Mei, have you seen this word?"

Shui Hanyan said in confusion: "Look, I saw it. What is the mystery of these three words?" Xiao Yunfan said: "The first thing I do after I came down from Bashan this time was to find Cuiweiju. The owner of Cuiweiju is Mo Lizi, who is a master of the mechanism. I didn't expect that he actually lived in seclusion here."

There was a stone gate in front of the mountain wall, about eight or nine feet high. Xiao Yunfan walked to the stone gate and said loudly, "My younger brother Xiao Yunfan paid a visit to Senior Mo." He said it first, but no one in the door responded. Until he said it for the third time, an old voice came from the air and said, "Please go back with a distinguished guest, there is no Mo Lizi here."

Xiao Yunfan said again: "Senior is the disciple of the old man Tianxing. If you have important matters, I hope you can see him!"

After a while, the stone gate rose up and a short, white-haired old woman walked out of it. She was about seventy years old, with dense and deep wrinkles on her face, like pine bark. A silk peony was inserted into her temples.

She slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at Xiao Shui and the others, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are Xiao Yunfan, you two?"

Xiao Yunfan held his fists and bowed and smiled, "Go back to senior, it's Xiao Yunfan."

The old woman waved her hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Go back, my husband has been dead for three years. If you still want to ask him for help, you can only go to the Hall of Yama to find him. I live in seclusion here and am used to being purified. I don't like to bother outsiders. Now I've made an exception when I see you, I'm tactful and leave quickly." Xiao Yunfan said in surprise: "Ah? Senior Mo, he..."

The old woman ignored him and turned around and walked slowly into the door. Xiao Yunfan hurriedly chased after him and said loudly: "Senior, please stay here. I have something to ask for."

The old woman glared at him, and was already displeased, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the friendship between the old ghost in Tianxing and his husband, Lao Zhen wouldn't bother to pay attention to you. I already said it very clearly. Are you deaf or a fool? Your husband is no longer alive, so you are naturally looking for him. He is gone. It's useless to tell Lao Zhen what you ask for. You are tactful, get out quickly, don't bother me, otherwise the old woman will get angry and get full with a big ear!"

Xiao Yunfan said anxiously: "Senior..."
