It was 10:30 pm, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
"Brother Yu, hurry up! The firewood is ready outside!"
"Don't worry, Yunfeng, come here and take a look. What is that?"
I looked up with a flashlight and saw a black lacquered wooden box on top of the wardrobe in the old Gu King's bedroom.
I stood on tiptoes to pick it up. It felt heavy and weighty. When I opened it, I found layers of red cloth in the box.
When I opened the cloths, I found that what was wrapped inside was actually two tattered books!
It looked very old at first glance, and the condition was a thread-bound book that was bitten by worms and mice. Moreover, the book had no name. I was attracted to it as soon as I opened it, and Brother Yu also came over curiously to look at it.
This is actually a book written in the Daoguang period of the late Qing Dynasty, talking about the "secret techniques of the house"! There are no less than a hundred kinds of postures between men and women. The second half of the chapter focuses on recording the "secret method of harvesting yin and replenishing yang". In addition, it also records many lost secret recipes for aphrodisiacs.
Another shabby book records how women should "collect yang and absorb essence". It describes in detail the best time of the day to share a room, including matching breathing, exhalation and so on! Some words are directly described in vernacular, and the scale is breathtaking!
This type of book was banned in ancient times, and the owner would be jailed if discovered! Therefore, such ancient books are often handed down in small numbers. After people at that time read them, they basically burned them.
I flipped through a few pages and couldn't help but curse: "Brother Yu! You said this old man is speechless! How shameless! He is still studying this every day at such an old age."
Brother Yu read: "Amitabha, don't let me see these things. It's offensive to moral standards. Why don't we burn them together?"
"Don't do it yet!"
I stuffed the ancient book into my arms and whispered: "Brother Yu, there may be some secrets hidden in this kind of book. It won't be too late to burn it after I go back to study it for two days."
At this time, I heard Xiaoxuan shouting from downstairs: "You two, hurry up!"
Hurrying out, Xiaoxuan held a torch in her hand and frowned and asked, "My head is spinning, what are you two doing inside? It's so slow."
Brother Yu explained: "Yunfeng found two ancient books inside."
Xiaoxuan asked in confusion: "What ancient book?"
"Nothing! Let's hurry up!"
Ten minutes later, the fire filled the sky and we all hid far away.
The entire building on stilts is made of wooden structure. Once it catches fire, it will make a crackling sound!
The heat wave is coming!
The crimson flames were beating constantly, reflecting in the leader's eyes.
He raised his head and said calmly: "I guess he also saw it at this moment."
Soon after, the villagers in the village also discovered that the King Gu's house on the top of the mountain was on fire. They ran to each other with buckets and shouted loudly! But all that was of no avail.
Water and fire are merciless. With this kind of fire, even if the fire trucks from Jishou City come, it will be useless!
Not long after we returned, Dou Sprout and Doctor Fan also came back.
"How are things going? Have you invited anyone?" asked the head.
Dou Yazai leaned on his crutch and said: "Boss, are you still worried about me doing things? At first, Guicao Po was unwilling to help us deal with the Gu King! Later, I found another way and persuaded her granddaughter Panpan, and then asked Panpan to persuade her. Get her! They'll be here soon!"
Xiaoxuan asked, "How did you convince Panpan in such a short period of time?"
Douyazai smiled and said: "Because I'm handsome enough! It's all because of my face!"
"vomit!"
Xiaoxuan pretended to vomit.
"Okay," he said with a frown, "Well done Yazai, you all listen, today and tomorrow, we will stay together at night, stay together, don't be alone, and take turns to rest, if everything goes as I expected , there is a high probability that the old Gu King will come tonight."
"How do you know?" Brother Yu asked.
He raised his head and said calmly: "Because, he can't swallow this breath."
