Pawn Crossing the River

There is also a Huashengtang in Baidi City. Because a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest personally spoke and was accompanied by two fourth-grade Jijiu Taoist priests, the Huashengtang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Doctors, big and small, came to the battle to prepare various elixirs. Don't be stingy, not to mention that Qi Xuansu was only seriously injured, even if he was beaten to death, he could still be saved.

After struggling for half a night, it finally came to an end.

Qi Xuansu's injuries were treated in every possible way, including his broken arm and internal organs that were damaged by the fist. Because Qi Xuansu had already achieved a state derived from some flesh and blood, his injuries healed quickly.

Qi Xuansu was then placed in a ward in Huashengtang, with Zhang Yuelu accompanying him.

This time, he did not have to pay out of his own pocket. The four houses, Shuzhou Daofu, Shibotang, Huashengtang, and Tiangangtang, would share the money equally. Zhao Fuan's five hundred Taiping money was regarded as compensation to Qi Xuansu.

One punch, five hundred peace coins.

Of course Qi Xuansu wanted to tear those five big tickets to pieces. In a moment of arrogance, I don't want these stinky money, I want your arm. But Qi Xuansu hesitated for a long time and decided to let the five big votes go. The money was innocent.

He had a lot of savings, but only four hundred Taiping coins, which he had paid for with his life.

Of course, this five hundred Taiping money can also be considered.

Qi Xuansu was lying on the bed and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "People are poor and have short ambitions, but horses are thin and have long hair."

After all, he is not the young chivalrous man in the novel who is as white as snow, who comes and goes like the wind, and who enjoys revenge and revenge. He is just a pawn.

Zhang Yuelu sat on the chair in front of the bed, lost in thought.

People from the Taoist sect were beaten, but in the end it was the Taoist sect that paid for medical treatment and rescue, even including Tiangang Hall. On weekdays, the Taoist priests in Yujing look down upon the foot of the mountain, but when they actually go to the foot of the mountain and walk around, they realize what the world is like.

The flowers in the greenhouse garden not only cannot withstand the wind and rain, but they are also unreal.

However, Zhang Yuelu was not someone who gave up easily. She was not depressed, but instead became more determined to change the Taoist sect. Even if she would not succeed, and being ridiculed would mean that she was overestimating her abilities, someone had to do the work. If you don't do it and I don't do it, and everyone is in harmony and living in harmony, what's the future of that door?

Qi Xuansu suddenly asked: "Qingxiao, are you still investigating the demon's matter?"

"At this point, what else should we investigate? Even if there is something weird in the courtyard, it's time to sort out the situation. If we go to investigate again, we will definitely find nothing." Zhang Yuelu thought clearly, "So, I won't investigate anymore. I will report the matter to Tiangang Hall for archiving. That's it."

Qi Xuansu sighed: "This is the only way."

Zhang Yuelu's eyes were gloomy: "I understand more and more now that the Taoist sect's most serious troubles are not outside, but within the Taoist sect, in the Jinque meeting, among all the masters, the thirty-six masters, and the great masters. Even among the deputy head masters, if the problem cannot be solved at the root, no matter how many demons are captured, it will only be a headache."

Qi Xuansu said nothing.

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu. I wonder if it was Qi Xuansu's misunderstanding. Zhang Yuelu's attitude towards him had changed very slightly from the past, and he became closer to him.

Perhaps, after this incident, Zhang Yuelu had decided that Qi Xuansu was a like-minded person.

But only Qi Xuansu himself knows whether he is like-minded or whether he only cares about Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu stopped talking about these heavy topics and asked softly: "Does your body still hurt now?"

Naturally, Qi Xuansu's body still hurt, but it was not serious. He raised a smile and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. You don't have to think of me as too delicate. Some precious flowers and plants will die immediately if I don't take care of them properly." And we, weeds, can live well even if we step on them a few times.”

"No matter what weeds are, we are all the same. Don't underestimate yourself." Zhang Yuelu said softly.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Yuelu looked hesitant and suddenly said: "Tianyuan, I don't want you to accompany me home."

"Why did you change your mind again?" Qi Xuansu was startled.

Zhang Yuelu said hesitantly: "Perhaps it will be better if you are promoted to a fifth-level Taoist priest in two years and I can formally invite you to my home."

Zhang Yuelu continued: "My mother is not an easy person to talk to. If you go to see her now, you can certainly help me avoid some unnecessary troubles, but it will inevitably leave a bad impression on my mother. After people have prejudices, they will It would be difficult to turn it around. ”

Although Zhang Yuelu spoke very euphemistically and implicitly, Qi Xuansu still understood and understood.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Then how do you pass the test?"

Zhang Yuelu said vaguely: "I have other methods, you don't have to worry."

Qi Xuansu said: "If you had other ideas, you wouldn't have made this move unless you really asked the Earth Master for help."

Zhang Yuelu stopped talking.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Since I agreed to help you and have come here, how can I give up halfway?"

Zhang Yuelu was silent for a long time and whispered: "Thank you."

In the courtyard of the Huasheng Hall outside the door, Taoist Ji drank slowly with a wine gourd, and then sighed softly.

He met Master Lingyun and learned about this from Master Lingyun, so he wanted to come to visit.

But when he got to the door and heard the conversation between the two, he stopped moving forward.

He thought of many things in his youth, and it was really a good companionship for his youth when he returned home.

Ji Daoren took out two small wine gourds from his Xumi items, tied them together with a red rope, and hung them on the door knocker.

Then he turned around and left quietly, as if he had never been there.

At dawn, Zhang Yuelu discovered the wine gourd hanging on the door, with the word "season" written in seal script on the gourd.

She took the two wine gourds into the house and placed them in front of Qi Xuansu.

When Qi Xuansu saw the wine gourd, he immediately understood: "It's Taoist Ji who has come."

Zhang Yuelu pulled out the stopper and took a sip: "It smells like medicine, could it be medicinal wine?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Medicinal wine is also wine, and it just so happens that each of us has a gourd."

"Let me try it for you first." Zhang Yuelu raised the gourd and took a sip, then looked surprised.

Qi Xuansu joked: "Isn't it poisonous?"

Zhang Yuelu handed the gourd in his hand to Qi Xuansu: "I'll give you these two gourds, they will be beneficial to your cultivation."

Qi Xuansu doubtfully took the wine gourd that Zhang Yuelu had opened and took a sip. He felt that the medicinal flavor was strong and the aroma of the wine was slightly lighter. Then a hot current flowed down the throat and eventually spread to the whole body. It was very comfortable.

"It's true." Qi Xuansu said in surprise and took another sip.

The wine gourd was not big, so the two of them drank less than half of it in three sips. However, the medicine was very powerful. After a while, Qi Xuansu felt that his whole body was very hot, as if he was warming himself by a fire, even a little hot. He pressed the back of his hand on his cheek and burned it with his hands.

Qi Xuansu felt a little uneasy and whispered: "Is this because of the addition of love potion? Why do I feel something is wrong?"

Zhang Yuelu rolled her eyes at him: "You have read too many stories and thought too much, so drink them all quickly."

Qi Xuansu drank the remaining half-gourd of medicinal wine as he was told. He felt extremely hot in his stomach, as if a ball of fire was burning violently, and his body felt like boiling water. It was uncomfortably hot. He was extremely thirsty, felt like his whole body was splitting, and it was extremely itchy. , seems to be a sign of healing of the injury.

Is this the chance encounter in the storybook?

Without Zhang Yuelu's guidance, Qi Xuansu had already started to resolve this heat according to the luck method.

I saw white mist rising above Qi Xuansu's head, and the heat around him was faint, making the surrounding air slightly distorted, as if he was looking through a flame.

After an hour of this, Qi Xuansu felt that all the heat in his body had dissipated. He just finished the exercise and felt that his whole body was a little lighter. Except for his left arm, which had not yet healed, everything else was almost healed. After all, before that, He had already received treatment from Huashengtang, and considering his strong blood and strong physique, it was reasonable.

What really surprised Qi Xuansu was that his cultivation had actually improved. Although there was still a long way to go before he could reach the next level, it was worth his year's hard work. It was indeed a rare good thing.

Zhang Yuelu's eyes glowed with purple energy. He looked Qi Xuansu up and down for a while and said: "You have only refined half of the medicinal power now, and half of the medicinal power is still deposited in the body. You will continue to refine the medicinal power in the next few days. The second wine gourd will not Drink in a hurry."

Qi Xuansu joked: "Since there are such benefits, why not drink a gourd. If you can become a heavenly being, we can now let that Zhao Fu'an know what it means not to bully young people into poverty."

Zhang Yuelu laughed and said: "How can such a good thing happen? Although these two gourds of medicinal wine are good things, they are not of great use to me. If I could become a heavenly being so easily, I wouldn't have to wait until today."

Qi Xuansu said: "Then you can keep it for me. I wonder if you still have space among your Sumeru treasures."

Zhang Yuelu weighed the wine gourd and said, "It should still fit in."

…

As soon as it got dark, Zhao Fuan left Baidi City.

In his opinion, Deputy Hall Master Zhang, who had a good background, had already given in. When he injured the boy, the gang's hand was almost wiped out. Even if the gang was sealed, nothing could be found.

So he felt that there was no need for him to stay in Baidi City.

Among the many inheritances, Wu Fu is the only exception who cannot fly long distances after becoming a heavenly being, so Zhao Fuan traveled on horseback.

Not far away, I saw a middle-aged Taoist sitting on the roadside drinking. The wine gourd in his hand seemed to have no bottom and he couldn't finish it.

Seeing Zhao Fu'an coming over, the middle-aged Taoist stood up slowly, stuffed the wine gourd and hung it around his waist.

Zhao Fuan sensed something was wrong and reined in his horse.

Before Zhao Fu'an could speak, the middle-aged Taoist glanced like a rainbow, pressed his hand on Zhao Fu'an's face, pushed him off his horse, and pushed him several feet on the ground, making him miserable.
