Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

A minibus was speeding on the bumpy secondary road, the radio on the car was weakly playing pop songs a few years behind the times, and the passengers in the car were drowsy—to be precise, most of them Passengers drowsy.Because in the last row of the minibus, there were four men and a woman chatting happily. To be more precise, it was two of the men who were really chatting with great interest. One had parted hair, a little greasy hair, like a rich swinger; Monk in glasses. "What's the name of the racetrack song in 'Mary Poppins'?" Brother Gongzi asked with a serious face. Looking at his expression, he thought he was asking some important questions about the world situation and life choices.

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." The monk's cockney accent was as smooth as Julia Andrews herself. "So, who do you hate the most, Wenger or Mourinho?" "Mourinho." "Wrong answer! It's Wenger!" "Sorry, but I'm an Arsenal fan." "Who invented the router?" "Lu You." The son was relieved, he grinned, showing his white teeth, and excitedly tapped the monk's bald head: "Welcome back, Peter." "This is the third time you have congratulated me today." Monk Peter replied calmly.

"I can't help it. I have to double check to be at ease. The fortune teller said that I am a cautious person." Yan Zheng leaned his body against the back of the seat, and his arms naturally rested on Qin Yi's fragrant shoulders beside him.Qin Yi rolled his eyes at him, but said nothing.Luo Zhongxia stretched his head from the other side of the seat, and said helplessly: "I said, you have been doing this kind of quiz all the way, isn't it too boring?" Yan Zheng snapped his fingers solemnly: "Otherwise, how can I tell if this guy in front of me is Peter or Lu You? Lu You has never watched "Mary Poppins", never heard of the Premier League, and doesn't understand cold jokes. If he really came to impersonate Peter , I can find out as soon as I ask.”

"Master Lu is going to do big things, so he won't be so boring." Monk Peter still looked indifferent, and he couldn't see the influence of the time when his soul was silent at all.His last memory is to step into Ge Hongding with Liu Yuanyuan in his arms, and he doesn't remember anything about what happened after that.It wasn't until he woke up again that he learned everything from Luo Zhongxia and Yan Zheng. Early that morning, according to the agreement, Lu You awakened the soul of Monk Peter, and then got on Zheng He's body by himself—although the latter was very reluctant, he still compromised under Sunday's grace and power.

Lu You, Sunday, and Wei Shiran then rushed to Changde, Hunan to find the Peach Blossom Spring, while Luo Zhongxia and Monk Peter rushed to Weizhuang to finish writing.After Yan Zheng and Qin Yi heard about it, they also said they would go, but Luo Zhongxia was so entangled with them that he had no choice but to agree.Only nineteen returned to Shanghai, and she wanted to go back to Zhuge's house and report what happened recently to the owner, Lao Li. Among the four, Luo Zhongxia and Yan Zheng have never been here, Qin Yi has been there once, and even stole two pens; Monk Peter is even worse, he escaped from the Bibi Cave on the charge of "the old patriarch's murderer" of.There is no worse combination than this.

Fortunately, this time it is not to visit relatives, but to collect pens.With an old monster like Lu You sitting behind them, it is like holding Shang Fang's sword in his hand, and he is not afraid of any retaliation from Wei Zhuang and those people-not to mention that Monk Peter knows in his heart that his uncle Wei Dingguo is determined to lead Wei Zhuang out of the shadow of the pen tomb. His action of going to collect the pen must be welcomed with both hands. You can already see Weizhuang Waizhuang in front of you.The Waizhuang is still the same, the houses are connected, covered by bamboo forests, a winding path stretches out from the village, with green trees on both sides, it is indescribably elegant and quiet, even the air is clear.

Weizhuang is divided into outer village and inner village. The outer village is just an ordinary village, and the people living in it are ordinary people, while the inner village is the core.If it weren't for the leadership of people from Neizhuang, there was no way to sneak into the interior. Peter looked at the rows of houses with high eaves and blue tiles in the distance, touched the Buddhist beads on his chest, and said in a low voice: "Yuanyuan, we are back again." Liu Yuanyuan was killed by Zhou Cheng in Ge Hongding , her body was burnt to the ground by the pill fire, and the only thing left of this woman in the world is the faint breath on this Buddhist bead.Monk Peter has a firm Zen mind, and only when he touches this Buddhist bead will there be slight waves and a faint sigh.

Seeing such a beautiful scene, the four of them didn't even call for a car, just walked along the path and walked into the Waizhuang.Both Monk Peter and Qin Yi have been here before, and they behaved very normally, but Luo Zhongxia and Yan Zheng looked around, unsteady for a moment.These two lived and grew up in the city, and this is the first time they have set foot in such a chic small village. "Strange, why is the atmosphere so weird." Luo Zhongxia suddenly raised his nose, and he suddenly realized that this foreign village was really too quiet.Even in a small village that doesn't care about worldly affairs, there are... too few people.They had already entered the foreign village, but no one was seen.The streets are deserted, and all the houses along the street are closed, and not even a dog barking can be heard.

"Peter, does Wei Zhuang have a traditional festival of 'everyone stays indoors'?" Yan Zheng asked, and he also began to feel that something was wrong. Monk Peter shook his head slightly, he also felt very strange.According to Wei Dingguo's conception, this foreign village will be developed as a cultural tourism hotspot, and it will vigorously attract tourists and investment from all over the country. It should be extremely lively.But right now, this foreign village is like no man's land, as if everyone disappeared completely in an instant.The air is still fresh, but with a few traces of strange and mysterious smell.

Luo Zhongxia was a little apprehensive about the atmosphere, so he said, "Then let's go to Neizhuang, they may have gathered there." He felt that the atmosphere in Waizhuang was very similar to a game he had played. The game "Silent Hill"—that's not a pleasant game. Among the four, Qin Yi has the most social experience.She rolled her eyes, walked quickly to a house on the side of the street, knocked on the door, and seeing no one answered, she took out a pin and poked it open three times.Yan Zheng gave her a thumbs up, and the two entered the room in a tacit understanding.

This is a small shop, with many daily necessities piled up inside, and there are several unopened cardboard boxes under the counter, with almost no place to stay.The two walked around the front and back of the house several times, but there was no sign of a ghost.In the end, it was Yan Zheng who had sharp eyes and found a piece of paper on the window sill next to the counter. This piece of paper looks like a government document, and it is stamped with the big red seal of the Weizhuang Village Committee.The official document said that because an investor came to visit recently, Weizhuang will be completely remodeled, and all residents are required to leave temporarily for a week. During this week, their accommodation, meals and economic losses in other places will be compensated by the village committee.The conditions are very generous, but the tone is very tough, leaving no room for it. "It seems... that the people of the Wei family forcibly let the people with a foreign surname leave Zhuangzi?" Qin Yi squeezed the official document, "Why do you feel like you are facing an enemy?" Monk Peter felt uneasy. He had heard it from adults when he was a child.Weizhuang has been invaded by powerful enemies several times in history. At that time, the family's measures were to move out all the people with other surnames from the outer village, and then the whole family withdrew to the inner village to resist.Could it be that there is another big enemy threatening the Wei family now? Who else could it be if it wasn't "they"? Monk Peter was not surprised when he thought of this.No wonder Master Lu Youlu hurriedly sent them to Wei Zhuang to collect his writings. It turned out that he had expected "their" actions.But even Mr. Lu You probably didn't expect that they came so fast this time. He explained the matter a little bit, and the other three people all looked shocked, realizing that the casual vacation was over, and they might face another hard battle next. Yan Zheng flexed his muscles, clenched his fists and said, "I haven't touched for a long time, my joints are rusted." "It's not too late, let's go to Neizhuang as soon as possible." Monk Peter said, raising his legs and wanting to leave. But Qin Yi stopped him: "Slow down!" Monk Peter was taken aback: "What?" Qin Yi sat down on the stone steps next to him, and said slowly: "Now the situation in Neizhuang is unclear, and it's hard to tell who is the enemy. It's very dangerous for us to rush in like this. We have to think about this matter carefully. " Monk Peter said: "The Wei family has accumulated over the years, there are no less than ten people in the pen tomb, and they will not be easily defeated by the enemy. I have confidence." Qin Yi said coldly: "Who said those from the Wei family are not enemies?" Her words blocked Peter back.Now in the eyes of the Wei family, these two people are traitors who killed their father and lied to the tribe. If the two of them suddenly appeared in Neizhuang, it's really hard to say who the Wei family will regard as an enemy. Monk Peter said, "Then what do you think?" Qin Yi brushed his hair, and replied relaxedly: "Let's wait until night, I know a path that can sneak into Neizhuang, let's sneak in first to see the situation, and then make a decision." Monk Peter was very surprised: "I have lived here for so many years, but I never knew there was such a shortcut." Qin Yi showed a smile: "Little monk, you don't know, there are many more." Monk Peter was skeptical, and turned to Luo Zhongxia, "What do you think?" Luo Zhongxia spread out his hands: "Listen to the woman, or you will suffer a lot." Yan Zheng nodded in agreement. The four of them stayed in the Waizhuang uneasy until dark, ate something casually, and then led by Qin Yi into the Waizhuang, wandering around in the complicated maze-like alleyways, and finally plunged into it without knowing why. In a dense forest.The trees in this forest are extremely thick and dense, so dense that there is almost no place to plug them in.The next three people must closely follow Qin Yi's footsteps so as not to fall behind. "I said, can you really enter Neizhuang by walking this way? This road is too difficult." Luo Zhongxia complained while panting, trying to push the branches away from her forehead.It is dark and steep here, and there are endless tree trunks and roots, and you will trip if you are not careful. Qin Yi didn't even look back: "It's easy to go, can that still be called a secret way?" Monk Peter followed behind without saying a word, but doubts abounded in his heart.He still knows Wei Zhuang very well. Wei Zhuang's inner and outer villages are not simply connected by roads.In order to ensure that no outsiders would come in by mistake, the ancestors of the Wei family set up a cover formation between the two villages, enveloping the entire inner village.Those who did not get permission could only wander around without realizing it, and even let the legend of ghosts hitting the wall spread in this area. But Qin Yi in front of him was full of confidence, obviously he didn't take this cover-up formation seriously.Monk Peter suddenly thought of one thing. This woman was allowed to enter Wei Zhuang after she claimed to be Wei Qingang's daughter. Could it be that her identity is true? Monk Peter didn't have much impression of his eldest brother, but he knew that he must be a great and peerless powerhouse.It is not impossible for Wei Qingang to find a loophole in Wei Zhuang's cover and tell his daughter. But why did Wei Qinggang's daughter get mixed up with Wei Shiran... He was lowering his head in thought when Qin Yi suddenly shouted, "Okay, we're here." The other three looked up and saw an abandoned hill shrine in front of them. The stone statue inside is full of mud, and the human form cannot be seen without careful attention. Qin Yi took out the unicorn pen and pointed it towards the top of the shrine. The shrine immediately moved away, revealing a hole behind it. The hole was extremely round and black, and the edge was still transpiring and changing, which looked like the sun during a solar eclipse.The three of them knew at a glance that this was not a real cave, but a spiritual cave created with a pen. As for where this spiritual cave leads, they don't know. Luo Zhongxia couldn't help asking, "You did this?" Qin Yi shook his head: "This thing has existed for hundreds of years. If someone hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there was such a path. When I stole the pen spirit from Wei's house, I went out along this path. "She spoke very proudly, but Monk Peter snorted coldly.It was precisely because he was sent by his family to hunt down Qin Yi that he ran into Luo Zhongxia and triggered the following series of events. "Stop talking nonsense, get in quickly." After Qin Yi finished speaking, he quickly got into the hole.The remaining three felt that they had no choice, so they had to drill in one by one. The hole was not long, and they only climbed a few steps before they saw the exit.After all, this is a spiritual cave, and physical distance is meaningless to it.Luo Zhongxia crawled out of the cave, and was about to raise his head to look around, but Qin Yi pressed his head violently: "Be careful!" Qin Yi lowered his voice and gestured for him not to stand up straight after crawling out. Luo Zhongxia followed his words, his heart beating a little, wondering if the Wei family members were nearby? The exit on this side of the spiritual cave is in a crack in the rock of a mountain wall.The cracks in the rock are not big, several meters above the ground, and are just covered by the dense bamboo crowns of several clusters of bamboo on the ground, making it extremely concealed.If you don't look for it deliberately, it is impossible to be noticed. Soon Yan Zheng and Monk Peter came out one after another. The four of them lay quietly in the crevice of the rock, held their breath, and looked into the distance through the gap between the dense bamboo leaves.In the distance, you can see an elegant blue bamboo bridge, which crosses the crescent-shaped pure lake leisurely, and at the end of the bridge is a quaint village, which is the core of the Wei family——Wei Zhuang Nei Zhuang. But at this time, Neizhuang is more mysterious than usual.With the lake as the boundary, a lavender barrier separates the inner village and the inner village into two worlds.This barrier connects the sky and the earth, like a huge soap bubble, the surface is constantly surging, expanding and shrinking, and it seems that it may be broken at any time, but it always maintains sufficient surface tension.If you observe carefully, you can see that every ripple on the surface of the soap bubbles is narrow and long like a brush, and the entire Neizhuang seems to be surrounded by a barrier composed of countless wandering brushes. "Mrs. Wei's pen array?!" Extreme astonishment made Monk Peter's voice sound very sharp and weird, and he was completely stunned. Mrs. Wei was from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, her name was Wei Shuo.She integrated the two schools of Zhong Yao and Wei Guan into one, and created a new situation by herself. Even Wang Xizhi, the calligrapher of a generation, worshiped her as her disciple, and her calligraphy skills can be seen.Mrs. Wei once wrote an article "Pen Zhentu", which was passed down as a one-off. "Pen Array" uses pens as an array and war as a metaphor for the book. The spirit of killing is very strong. Wang Xizhi once borrowed his teacher's "Brush Array" to read it, and he was so shocked that he was sweating. He sighed repeatedly and said that he didn't expect that calligraphy also had the meaning of fighting and killing, so he wrote it after "Brush Array": , The author has a sharp sword, the ink is the armor, the water inkstone is the city, the mind is the general, the skill is the lieutenant, the structure is the strategy, the author is good or bad, the entry and exit are orders, and the inflection is killing. A burst of true meaning, all in this. Originally, the owner of the pen mound also wanted to refine Mrs. Wei into a pen spirit, but seeing how exquisite her pen formations are, he changed his mind and let her soul reside in his own pen formations, which have been passed down to this day—the pen formations are in the hands of Lu You , began to achieve great success, but if we talk about the earliest origin, we have to count from Mrs. Wei. Monk Peter knows a thing or two about this unspirited treasure.This "Mrs. Wei's Pen Formation Picture" authentic work has been kept secret in Neizhuang since the Wei family settled here, and it is regarded as the treasure of the village by the Wei family. "Bizhentu" is never released lightly, unless Wei Zhuang encounters a great catastrophe and cannot avoid it, the clan will sacrifice it.As soon as the pen formation map is released, all the pen spirits will be integrated into the formation by itself, and a huge pen formation can be laid without the need for a pen master to preside over it. In the brush cave of the Wei family, at least there are more than 20 brush spirits. In addition to the pen spirits of the pen officials in the clan, there are as many as the sky. At this time, all of them have been sucked into Mrs. Wei's pen array, and its power can be imagined . "But... this is the treasure of the town, what a strong opponent it takes to use it..." Monk Peter hadn't recovered from the shock.For Wei Zhuang, sacrificing Mrs. Wei's pen array map is almost equivalent to a nuclear country launching a nuclear bomb. "Isn't it now?" Yan Zheng hooked his fingers, "Look, those powerful opponents are right there." All four of them saw a large group of men in black standing around Madam Wei's pen array, on the opposite bank of Neizhuang.They were all wearing black suits and sunglasses, looking up at the pen array with the same expressionless face.
