Chapter 60 Chapter 2 The Vixen

After Cheng Yu and the woman came out of the secret passage, they were in a deserted house not far from the back door of the Wang Mansion.This was the origin of the "demon fox at night" case in the capital at that time. It was through this case that Wang Zhi eradicated Li Zilong, a demon who used the case to snare eunuchs, and gained the trust of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty. . The capital is prosperous and there are few deserted houses, but the situation of this house is very special.The owner of the house is Zhao Ling'an. When he was out of the city to do business, he met a beautiful woman. He heard that she looked so beautiful, so he had to put on a veil.However, after this woman was brought into the mansion by Zhao Lingan, everyone in the mansion died the next day, not even a single dog or fish in the mansion was alive.All the dead people and animals had no scars, but the beauty disappeared, so rumors began to spread in the capital that it was the vixen who caused the monster.

Then, people began to see a beautiful woman wandering around at night in the capital, and then several people died. The mysterious case of "the demon fox coming out at night" spread, and finally led to the birth of Xichang.Anyone who has studied the spy rule of the Ming Dynasty will know this story. I heard that there was a file about this case at that time, which is now kept in the Forbidden City, but it is not on display. Cheng Yu and the woman didn't expect the exit of the secret passage to be this demon house. People in ancient times were superstitious, so they trembled in fright.There happened to be watchmen passing by outside the house, so they didn't go out right away.Unfortunately, people rarely come near the house, but people kept passing by that night, so they stayed in the house all the time.Cheng Yu was so bored, in order to pass the time, he counted the smuggled treasures with the woman once.

When everyone saw this, they should have already guessed that one of the jewels that the woman brought out was the Ye Mingzhu that Wang Zhi mentioned.The house was pitch-black, and after opening the package, the luminous pearl was the most conspicuous.When Cheng Yu saw it, he was afraid and happy at the same time.What I'm afraid of is that Wang Zhi attaches great importance to the Ye Mingzhu. Now that they have stolen it, they will definitely be hunted down. Now Wang Zhi's power is so powerful that it is all over China; the joy is that this Ye Mingzhu is very delicate and full of aura. like.What he likes even more is that there are actually very complicated micro-carvings in the Ye Mingzhu, and this micro-carvings are something he can't do!

Because if you want to carve something in, you have to destroy the night pearl, but Cheng Yu can't see that the pearl has been artificially damaged, it is completely natural.His ancestors had a set of secret skills, that is, they can magnify small things several times, that is to say, even the smallest micro-carvings can be seen clearly, and it is because of this secret skill that they can make micro-carvings better. Cheng Yu heard the conversation between Wang Zhi and the old woman, which showed that they didn't know the contents of Ye Mingzhu at all, and the people invited in front couldn't peep into the mystery.Cheng Yu's heart beat fast, he thought, if the secret inside was earth-shattering, then Wang Zhi would definitely kill them to silence them.So, he made up his mind in his heart that he must flee to the ends of the earth with his secrets, because it was impossible for them to go back, because the woman already had his flesh and blood.

Just when Cheng Yu made up his mind to pay attention, the woman screamed uncontrollably. Cheng Yu looked back, and at some point, a seductive woman had appeared in this deserted house. When old man Liu said this, he picked up his cup and drank a big mouthful of tea. It seemed that he was extremely thirsty.I also stopped to think about it, and felt that the Ye Mingzhu in the story seemed a bit misleading, because the Ye Mingzhu we discovered had been in the Flame Mountain from the Tang Dynasty to the present, otherwise how could I have found it.That being the case, why did this luminous pearl get into the hands of Wang Zhi of the Ming Dynasty?

Old man Liu drank tea as if he couldn't stop urinating. Xu Shaode was so anxious that he still had a sip of tea in his mouth after drinking it for a minute.Albert was not as impatient as we were. He was also drinking tea, slower than Old Man Liu.In the end, old man Liu was finally satisfied, so he continued to tell the story. After Cheng Yu and the woman discovered the alluring woman, both of them froze in place, even forgetting to close their mouths.This woman was dressed in plain white and had a charming face, but she was bloodless, as lifeless as white paper.The strange thing is that when the woman glanced at Cheng Yu's woman, his woman suddenly collapsed on the ground, and then lost her breath.Cheng Yu is actually not a dedicated man, he has not loved this woman to the point of vowing to each other, seeing his woman die now, he has only fear but no sadness.

"Hu Daxian, please forgive me, I didn't intend to disturb you, don't kill me..." Cheng Yu kowtowed before finishing speaking. "Hmph..." The fox fairy woman smiled coldly, but did not make a sound. Cheng Yu lay on the ground, suddenly unable to speak, just trembling.The fox fairy woman didn't just stand there so quietly, Cheng Yu felt that a thousand, ten thousand years had passed, but he didn't dare to move, he didn't want to die. After a long time, the fox fairy woman finally opened her mouth and said, "Where did you find the beads in your hand?"

"Wang's Mansion..." Cheng Yu was relieved when he heard the fox fairy woman's question. "Wang Zhi?" asked Mrs. Fox. "Ok." "Hmph, I didn't expect that the old lady made a wrong estimate, and the beads still came into my hands!" the fox fairy woman said proudly. "Master Fox Immortal, I'll give you the beads, don't kill me." Cheng Yu begged for mercy weakly. "Are you from the Wang residence?" Cheng Yu is a person who is well versed in the world, and he immediately heard that the fox fairy woman might ask him, so he immediately told the story in detail.After hearing this, the fox fairy woman furrowed her brows deeply, sighed softly, and said, "I want you to go back to Wang's mansion!"

"What?" Cheng Yu was taken aback. He managed to escape, and going back now would be a dead end. "When you go back, tell Wang Zhi the contents of the bead as I told you." "But this time I go back, he will definitely..." "Are you going or not!" The fox fairy woman's almond-shaped eyes widened, furious. "I'll go, I'll go." Cheng Yu was terrified, but he thought of a way to escape. After the fox fairy woman finished speaking, she made up a few sentences and asked Cheng Yu to answer Wang Zhi when he returned.Cheng Yu was dripping with cold sweat, he was muttering in his heart, what is in the Ye Mingzhu, why do these people want to know.After the fox fairy girl finished speaking, her tone suddenly softened a little, and she asked, "Tell me quickly, what exactly is said in the bead?"

Cheng Yu expected early on that the fox fairy woman would ask him about this matter, so he thought about it in his heart, and after a while he said that to see clearly the contents of the bead, he needed a set of ancestral tools, but the things were elsewhere, so he couldn't return to Wang's mansion right away. .In fact, Cheng Yu was carrying tools with him, they were used for food and living, so how could he not carry them with him.It's just that the female fox fairy is not familiar with the art of micro-carving, so she believes it is true, so she asks to fetch it with Cheng Yu.Cheng Yu knew that the bead must contain a great secret, and he would not have a chance to survive. If he told the contents of the bead, he would be killed by Wang Zhi and the old woman if he was not killed by the fairy fox girl.

Cheng Yu packed up the things in the bundle, and left the deserted house with the fox fairy woman, and his woman's body was thrown into the well in the yard.The fox fairy girl was worried that Cheng Yu would cheat, so she snatched Ye Mingzhu and held it in her hand.However, Cheng Yu was even more cunning. When he hurriedly packed the things in the bag on the ground, he had already recorded all the contents of the beads with a small tool in the bag by the moonlight and the light of the night pearl at that time. in the head. Cheng Yu thought that foxes should be afraid of water, so he deliberately led the fox fairy girl to a river in the capital, and then he suddenly turned over and jumped into the water.Sure enough, the fox fairy woman did not follow her into the river. After Cheng Yu jumped into the water, she kept diving until she surfaced far away.This night, he stayed in the water all the time, and when the city gate opened after dawn, he fled the capital in a hurry. After leaving the capital, Cheng Yu was worried that Wang Zhi would catch up, so he hurried all the way and fled towards Yunnan.During the Ming Dynasty, although the transportation has been greatly improved, it still takes a long time to escape from the north to the southernmost tip.In addition, after Wang Zhi discovered the matter, he chased and killed Cheng Yu all the way, so it took him a year and a half to come to Yunnan in embarrassment. Since then, Cheng Yu changed his surname to Liu Yu, and then lived in seclusion in Deqin County, Yunnan, but never showed his miniature sculpture work again. "So you are a descendant of Cheng Yu?" After I heard it, I felt like a century had passed. "Of course, this is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation, but later someone discovered that I can do micro-carving, and it is the Japanese devil." Old man Liu said. As soon as I heard it, I realized in my heart that the photo of the Kemu people and the miniature carvings on it were the masterpieces of old man Liu.The workmanship must be the best in the world, and it is really hard to find without a microscope.As for why old man Liu made miniature sculptures of Nakamura Hiroshi’s photos during the Anti-Japanese War, this story will be slowly mentioned later.After hearing this story, I already understood that this luminous pearl had been contested as early as the Ming Dynasty, or even earlier.However, regarding the fox fairy girl and her ability to kill people invisible, I always feel that Cheng Yu exaggerated this point, purely to show off to his descendants. "Then, Cheng Yu... did Mr. Cheng tell you what is in the bead?" I asked anxiously. "What are you in a hurry for? I'll show you something." Old man Liu walked into the room with a mysterious smile. After a while, he came out, but there was a piece of sackcloth in his hand. This piece of linen is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary. I don't know what the old man is trying to trick.Old man Liu opened the linen cloth in front of us, revealing a picture scroll wrapped in transparent nylon.We stretched our heads to take a look, damn it, we were right, the person in the painting was either someone else or me.However, there are two paintings, besides the one that depicts me, there is another one.This painting is of a woman, so beautiful that it makes people want to move around.However, the picture scroll seems to have been severely damaged by water, so many places have been blurred. However, in these two paintings, the clothes worn by the characters are the clothes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is a kind of clothing called Shenyi.Deep clothing has the meaning of hiding the body. It is the casual clothes of the scholar-bureaucrat class and the dress of the common people. It is unisex. It was formed at the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Shenyi combines the formerly separate tops and bottoms into one, but maintains the boundary line that divides them into two, with no seams or width between the top and bottom.The most ingenious design is to embed a piece of rectangular fabric at the junction of the waist seam and sleeve seam under the two armpits. Its function can make the plane cut three-dimensional, which can perfectly express the human body shape, and the two sleeves can also obtain greater expansion and transportation. Features. According to records, there are four different names for deep clothing: deep clothing, long clothing, linen clothing, and middle clothing.Judging from the unearthed cultural relics, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many clothes that belonged to clothes and had a wide range of uses. Some of them can be regarded as variants of deep clothes. Seeing this, my heart trembled. The Yue Kingdom was in the Warring States Period at that time, and I also found a stone letter at the foot of the Flame Mountain. There was a silk script in it. What is written on the silk book.It now appears that the two are likely to be related.It seems that after I go back, I have to contact Professor He Kai, but the silk manuscript is incomplete. I don't know what Professor He Kai has researched, and it is very likely that she will not tell me after she researches it. "Master Cheng brought these two paintings?" Xu Shaode asked. "Yes." Old man Liu replied reluctantly, probably because of some misunderstanding between him and Xu Shaode. "But, Uncle Liu, it seems that you haven't said what's in the bead?" Albert couldn't help asking. I was also looking forward to Old Man Liu's answer, but he said a word, which made me fall back to the chair immediately.
