Chang Dizhihua

Chapter 13 Smoke and Water

A gust of bitter river wind blew head-on, and the rain fell even more urgently. The wooden sailboat was bobbing up and down in the middle of the river. Xuan Xiao clenched Xihe in his hands, and said in a deep voice, "It's a water thief!"

When Yun Tianqing traveled around in the past years, he heard that the Yangtze River water thieves were extremely rampant, and wherever he went, it was like a swarm of locusts sweeping across the field, but the whereabouts of the thieves were always secretive, even he had never seen it with his own eyes, how did Xuan Xiao know?I was a little surprised in my heart, and asked, "How do you know?"

"Penglai faction has dealt with it for many years, I naturally know."

Yun Tianqing gave a short laugh: "The sum of us is not worth a few taels of silver. They are so big, it is really a big move!"

"I'm afraid there is another love." Suyu frowned, and stared at the red-haired man in front of Jinfan without blinking, her expression was not very nervous, but seemed a little bit confused.

Xuan Xiao snorted coldly: "Never mind why he came here! Now teach me to meet him, just get rid of him!"

The red-haired leader had been condescendingly looking down at the wooden sailboat trapped in the middle of the river, at this moment he slowly pulled out a bright machete from his waist, and waved his arms, all the young sailors on both sides got the order and slammed together Throw the torch in your hand onto the wooden boat.In an instant, countless flames fell in the night sky like a rainstorm of meteors.

Xifeng yelled: "Don't let the fire fall on the boat!" His figure moved like flying, and suddenly he had swept to the bow of the boat, and the steel thorns in his hands danced impenetrably.The three of Qing Xiaoyu spread out along the side of the ship and stood side by side on the deck, while Shui Bi stood at the stern of the ship, holding the Holy Spirit Pearl and chanting the mantra in secret. Wherever the brilliance of the Pearl went, the cold and dark night scattered hurriedly Back off, as if terrified of this holy aura.

A bright yellow flame came suddenly, Yun Tianqing kicked it into the water, and said loudly: "This group of people are too ignorant of the rules! Robbers and robbers must first say 'stay and buy money' before doing anything ?”

Suyu smiled and said: "You read too many biographies of rangers!" While speaking, Wang Shu sword in his hand drew a cold blue arc out of thin air, knocking the torch flying in front of him into the water.

Xuan Xiao reminded loudly: "Stop talking too much, and concentrate on meeting the enemy!"

Yun Tianqing stuck out his tongue and smiled at him, stopped talking, raised his sword and slashed vertically and horizontally, making Qionghua's swordsmanship look like flowing water, and looked sideways at Xuan Xiao in the gap, seeing him holding the sword in both hands, slightly closed He opened his eyes, and the Yangyan aura around his body swirled and climbed, piercing straight into the dark sky, gradually condensing into countless translucent sharp blades.Yun Tianqing knew that this move was called Shangqing Poyun, and it was Qionghua's swordsmanship at its extreme, using his own invisible sword energy to injure the enemy, because the energy consumption was too great, he had learned half of it before and left it behind, when he saw Xuan Xiao made a move, startled, and blurted out: "Your internal injuries haven't healed yet, you're dying?!" But Xuan Xiao ignored it, swung his long sword, and the vertical and horizontal swords wove into a fiery giant net, The flying torches collided with each other and fell into the river one after another.

He and the others resisted for a while, the warm light of the Holy Spirit Orb gradually spread, and finally enveloped the entire ship in a bright light curtain, not only the torches could no longer penetrate, even the swaying rain was completely blocked Outside the enchantment.

Seeing that the fire attack was useless, the red-haired leader on the black boat snorted, jumped up suddenly, waved his hand in mid-air, and shouted: "Everyone, don't be afraid of this demon technique, let's go together!" young.The morale of the sailors behind him was mobilized, and they all followed him and shouted in unison, rushed out, and quickly climbed the iron chain connecting the two ships.As they approached the light curtain in front of the wooden boat, everyone swung their knives and slashed fiercely. Although the barrier of the Holy Spirit Bead was solid, how could it withstand such a fierce attack?In less than a short while, he was hacked full of scars, which gradually disappeared in the dark night.

The red-haired young man rushed to the front, his figure was light and strong, his movements were as fast as a ghost, and he galloped all the way on the narrow iron chain as if he was walking on flat ground.Xifeng raised his arm, and the steel spike came out of his hand, and the wind stabbed at him violently, and it was about to pierce his throat. He abruptly bit the steel thorn in his mouth, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said loudly: "Return you!" With something in his mouth, he spoke vaguely, but his momentum was still overwhelming, he flicked his head, and the steel thorn flung him out, nailed to the side of the ship with a sound.

At that moment, Ye Yu accompanied by the river wind swayed for a while, and the glazed lamp on the boat was blown around, and the dim light illuminated half of the red-haired young man's face. It's gone, and I stand still in place, unable to move any more.But the red-haired young man kept walking, his figure rose and fell several times, he was already on the deck, and he slashed straight at her.When Suyu was in a trance, she still did not forget to raise her sword, the scimitar collided with Wangshu sword, making an ear-piercing sound of gold and iron.

When the strong wind came, Suyu was shocked and took half a step back, not caring about stabilizing her figure, she just called out eagerly: "Brother Hankong, it really is you!"

The red-haired young man was stunned, and the movements in his hands slowed down. Xuan Xiao saw that he showed his flaws, and stretched out his sword in a diagonal stab, only to hear a clanging sound, the steel knife in his hand flew into the sky, and fell far into the river. Yun Tianqing took the opportunity to step forward, the point of the sword touched his vest, Xifeng and Shuibi stood on both sides, blocking his way.At the same time, the sailors behind the young man also crowded onto the deck, hula-la rushing up, their long knives criss-crossed, and the canine teeth gleamed coldly, completely surrounding everyone on board.

The rabbit ups and downs these few times, but in an instant, the situation has changed drastically.The red-haired young man stood in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by enemies, full of flaws, but he seemed completely unaware of the danger, he completely forgot what he was here for, and just stared blankly at Suyu, his expression gradually changed from doubt to Surprised, with burning eyes, he blurted out: "Xiaoyu?!"

Suyu put down her sword, her voice trembling slightly: "Brother...it's me!"

As soon as she said this, everyone was very surprised, but they saw the red-haired young man immediately raised his arm, turned around and shouted loudly: "Stop!" The sailors under him were obviously well-trained, and the leader gave an order, immediately Standing on the deck like clay sculptures and stone sculptures, they were fighting for their lives before, but they died down in an instant. The situation is extremely strange.And when he turned his head like this, even Yun Tianqing opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and said hesitantly:

"...You, are you Xiao Liu?"

The red-haired young man was very surprised. He had changed his name since he was in the rivers and lakes. Few people knew his real name. Could it be that tonight is really an auspicious day, and all old friends can't bump into him?He turned around suspiciously and looked at Yun Tianqing, his expression suddenly changed as if he had seen a ghost, and he yelled "Ah": "Fuck! How could it be you, you little bastard!" His voice couldn't hide his joy.

Yun Tianqing was no longer doubtful, laughed loudly, withdrew his sword, and swung his fist at his shoulder: "You kid actually went to the Yangtze River to become a water thief! You've got a lot of skills!"

The red-haired young man punched him unceremoniously: "You little bastard said you were going to be some kind of sword fairy, why haven't you ascended to heaven yet?"

"Do you think becoming immortal is as easy as growing vegetables?" Yun Tianqing glared at him, then looked around at the wall of people surrounded by iron barrels, and snorted, "I haven't seen you for so many years, so why don't you treat the old man with this?" friend?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the red-haired young man changed his expression of surprise and joy before, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry about that. Even though one of you is my brother and the other is my sister, we can't let it go easily." people."

Yun Tianqing and Suyu have known him for many years, but they have never seen this person with such a serious expression, they were both rather strange, looked at each other, and asked in unison: "Why?" Yun Tianqing then added: "I know Now you rely on robbing houses to make a living, but you won’t even want to fight our ideas, right?”

As soon as he said these words, the rough men behind the red-haired young man poured out their curses: "Fart! Don't talk nonsense!" "Don't compare our Jinfan water pirates with the sloppy Yangtze River water pirates! "How old is the brat? Show some respect in front of our boss!"

Hearing the foul language, Xuan Xiao frowned slightly, and asked: "Suyu, is this water thief leader the sworn brother you mentioned?"

"Exactly." Suyu nodded, "Unexpectedly...Brother Hankong and Tianqing are also friends."

Xuan Xiao turned to Yun Tianqing again: "Are you familiar with him?"

Yun Tianqing grinned and said: "I grew up in the same village as this guy, and I couldn't be more familiar with him."

Xuan Xiao stared at the red-haired young man, and said in a low voice: "Although we are old friends, but our intentions are unclear, you two should not be too careless."

Yun Tianqing's heart trembled, he met his old friend before, he only cared about being happy, and left all other things behind, at this moment he was awakened by Xuan Xiao, thinking of this person ambush, tracking, robbing the ship, subduing the enemy, etc. The series of arrangements are all well-planned, and they are indeed full of doubts.But he was not suspicious by nature, he just shook his head and didn't say anything.

When the three of them were talking in low voices, the red-haired young man waved his hand again and shouted: "Shut up!" After the scolding from the surrounding subordinates subsided, he said loudly to Yun Tianqing and the others : "There are thieves, and Jinfan water thieves don't do such things as blocking roads and robbing for no reason. To be honest, we are guarding here tonight to ambush a group of thieves, but we did not expect to meet you. "

Yun Tianqing thought that you, a bastard, are the leader of the thieves, and that you could also call him a "thief". I'm afraid it's really heinous, so he smiled and asked, "Do you suspect that we have something to do with that group of people?"

The red-haired young man looked at him, then turned his head to look at Suyu, and then turned his eyes to Xuanxiao, Xifeng, Shuibi, and finally turned back to Yun Tianqing, staring at him for a while. Then he asked seriously: "Yun Tianqing, I just want to ask you a question. Do you really have nothing to do with the Huainan Thirteen Pirates?"

Yun Tianqing looked back at him, his eyes were so clear that there was no haze at all: "I haven't even heard of the person you mentioned."

The red-haired young man finally let out a long breath and nodded: "You kid played with me all the time. Although you have a lot of ghosts, you never tell lies in big festivals. I believe you are!" Xiao and the others clasped their fists in salute and said, "I, Li Hankong, mistook all of you as villains just now, so I offended you so much, I'm sorry!" comprehensive.

Xuan Xiao nodded slightly, and took back the sword, but his expression was still quite alert. Xifeng returned the gift expressionlessly, and Shui Bi smiled slightly, and said: "It's nothing, if it wasn't for a misunderstanding, your old friends would not meet again .”

Li Hankong said with a smile: "Young lady said that, it makes me feel even more ashamed." He looked at the wooden boat a few times, only to see that the iron chains he used to hook the boat earlier had smashed several deep holes in the plank of the boat, and the rainwater was pouring on the deck. Gradually converge, and pour directly into the cabin along the damaged part, really confused.He groaned for a moment, and he was already hesitating. He turned around and told his subordinates: "Huo Quan, take your brothers to my boat, and leave your boat to these friends. Get out of here!"

As soon as the order was given, the man named Huo Quan in the crowd immediately nodded and took the order, and without a word of nonsense, he led the sailors under him and retreated silently. There is not too much damage, so there is no need to give the ship."

Li Hankong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, I'm afraid you will have to trouble your upper body if you use the water pirate's boat, but I didn't think carefully. How about this-" He took out something from his bosom and threw it away. Xiang Xifeng, "With this card, you can repair ships at any wharf on the Yangtze River without having to pay any money."

Xifeng saw that he was generous, if he refused again, he would look stingy, so he reached out to take it and nodded his thanks.

At this moment, all the sailors on one ship have been removed, and the iron chains on the other two black ships have been removed. Only the main ship in the middle is still connected to the wooden sailing ship. Pass!" Fang started to walk, but suddenly heard Suyu calling from behind: "Brother, are you leaving? You, do you still blame me?"

Li Hankong stretched out his hand to touch her hair, but suddenly thought that after not seeing her for many years, the little girl has become a big girl, and she can no longer be like before, so she withdrew her hand and said in a slow voice: "Brother never blamed you, see Don't worry until you're well. I have something to do right now, so how about seeing each other when I'm free?" Having said that, he looked at Yun Tianqing again, "What happened to you two over the years? , and tell me when the time comes.”

Suyu looked at him with an extremely reluctant expression, but finally the corners of her lips curled up and she smiled: "That's fine. Now that I know your name, Big Brother, I think it won't be difficult to find you."

Li Hankong was pulling up the barb on the last iron chain. Hearing this, he turned his head and laughed: "Although few people know my real name, it would be a big deal to mention the words 'Jinfan Water Pirates'." It is famous, and everyone in the Yangtze River area knows it." Speaking of this, his expression is flying, and he is quite complacent.

Yun Tianqing kicked him in the air: "What are you showing off? Get the hell out of here!"

Li Hankong made a face at him as if he was playing with him in the village in the past, and then held the iron chain in one hand, and made a concise gesture to the Jinfan black boat with the other. Two big men came out from the black boat, grabbing the With a tug on the heavy iron chain, Li Hankong's figure immediately soared into the sky, drew a half-arc in the dark night sky, and floated back to the deck.After a while, the three black ships pulled anchor one by one and set sail. After the lights on the ships were extinguished, the hulls of the ships gradually merged with the fog and rain, and they really came and went without a trace.

The black boat had already gone away, but Suyu stood on the deck, looking at the vastness of smoke and water, the raindrops fell on the cold jade-like Wangshu sword, turned into ice crystals and fell to the ground.Yun Tianqing and Xuan Xiao walked to her side, only to hear her sighing voice: "Unexpectedly, Big Brother Hankong finally became a pirate."

Yun Tianqing grinned and said, "This guy actually changed himself such a sour name. You mentioned your elder brother all these years, but I didn't expect that I knew him too. The fate between people is really amazing. very."

Su Yu chuckled, turned to look at him, the warm light of the glazed lamp shone on her face, her eye sockets looked a little red, and the rain dripped down her hair a little, Yun Tianqing raised her hands to cover the shadow on the top of her head. Luo Yu smiled and said, "Hey, don't cry."

Suyu took a step back, and quickly argued: "No!" After throwing out two words neatly, he didn't want to bring up the matter with Yun Tianqing, so he looked at Xuan Xiao and asked, "Senior brother Xuan Xiao, what do you want?" After using the move Shangqing Poyun earlier, is there any serious problem?"

Xuan Xiao answered concisely: "It doesn't matter." There was a pause in his voice, and he suddenly said: "Suyu, your brother-in-law went to be a water thief, it's just what he deserves."

Suyu was stunned for a moment, and then understood Xuanxiao's meaning: "I know...I have never been the same as Big Brother Hankong. I want to cultivate immortals, but he always wants to be a bandit. I always couldn't figure it out before, but now I don't think so. Very happy for him."

Xuan Xiao nodded slightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. If you can achieve what you want in your life, you will have no regrets."

Su Yu looked at Xuan Xiao intently, and suddenly smiled: "This is not like what you said. With your previous temperament, if you encounter water thieves, you have to wipe them out before you give up."

Xuan Xiao replied lightly: "Really." He looked towards the bow of the ship again. At this time, the rain was much lighter, and the stream wind was standing under the mast to pull the sail rope, and the white square sail was raised inch by inch. A patch of bright color spreads across the dark night sky.Shui Bi walked to his side, and the two of them pressed their foreheads together intimately, whispering something, Xi Feng suddenly grabbed her waist.Seeing this scene, Xuan Xiao felt an inexplicable fever on his face even though he didn't understand it at all. He quickly turned his eyes away, rested his arms on the side of the boat, and stared intently at the thick night fog on the river.

Why is Shui Bi, a god of heaven, willing to fall into the mortal world, and why does Xifeng, the demon general, hide in Tibet every day and refuse to go back?Why does Li Hankong insist on being a thief?Xuan Xiao didn't understand at all at first, but now he vaguely understands it.

——In this life, no matter whether you are a human being or a demon, a fairy or a demon, as long as you can do what you want to do according to your own wishes, then you will have no regrets.

He thought of Li Hankong who had already gone away.In the past when he was in Penglai, when he left the island with his master, he saw pirates in the East China Sea, burning, killing, looting, and doing everything. Like a pirate, but more like a hero.He practiced immortality since he was a child, and cast himself under Penglai and Qionghua successively. The teachings in the sect were all about punishing evil and promoting good, and cultivating immortals to the Tao. As time went by, he only had black and white in his heart. But is a person like Li Hankong good or evil?No one ever told him.

This reminded him of Xifeng who was a demon, and the dragon in the Yangtze River. Xifeng saved the lives of the three of them. The flood dragon once said that the flood was not a real disaster. So are these monsters good or evil?A trace of doubt flashed deep in his heart, but it was fleeting.The sentient beings of the six realms are different from the beginning, he thought to himself, people may be good and evil, and they can still persuade good people, but demon nature is inherently evil, how can it be compared with human beings?Like Yun Tianqing, who regards all beings as equal and does not distinguish between good and evil, how can he become an immortal and a hero?

Although this thought was not very clear after all, it also allowed him to vaguely understand the thoughts of Yun Tianqing and Suyu, and in the past three years, he had never considered it so carefully What are other people thinking.

——Everyone has his own aspirations, and he can't force it.

——They were very different in the first place.

But what does it matter?

On that New Year's Eve many years ago, Xuan Xiao was so drunk that he was dragged in a daze by Yun Tianqing all the way from Zuihuayin to Jianwuping. Never give up, life and death depend on each other.

At that time, they cultivated immortals, practiced swords, played, and mischievously together every day. It was wonderful to live a life like this, but no one could live in an illusory dream forever. And when trying to understand each other, is the real perseverance.

When Xuan Xiao was in a trance, Leng Wei was patted on the shoulder, turned around, looked at Shang Yun Tianqing's eyes full of smiles, and only heard him ask: "Brother, why are you in a daze?... Huh? You actually blush, what are you thinking? Hahaha."

Thinking of the previous scene, Xuan Xiao couldn't help but glanced at the bow of the ship again, only to see that the glazed lamp hanging under the wooden eaves of the cabin had been extinguished, and the rain had stopped early, revealing a dark blue and lofty corner of the night sky. Under the starlight, two figures can still be seen cuddling together.Yun Tianqing looked forward following his gaze, and smiled in surprise: "What is this? People who ask for a wife are like this. I think you have stayed on the mountain for a long time, and you are almost like a log."

Xuan Xiao couldn't help becoming a little annoyed: "Yun Tianqing, you and I are both pure-minded people who practice the Tao, but you are talking nonsense here, talking about the right and wrong of others, what a shame!"

Yun Tianqing ignored his scolding, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, don't stare at me, but there is a very important sentence, I have to remind you."

Xuan Xiao couldn't help being stunned when he heard his serious words, and asked: "What?" But seeing him leaning over, he whispered in his ear: "Girls' breasts are different from men's, they are soft and soft. Yes, you can't touch it casually."

Xuan Xiao's face was bluish and uncertain, and finally he put on a straight face, and said viciously: "You know a fart!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, slamming the cabin door, leaving Yun Tianqing staring dumbfounded behind. His back.In fact, Yun Tianqing himself has only been in the arena for a few years, and he just talked nonsense when he heard it, and didn't understand the true meaning. Could it be that this kid Xuan Xiao really knows more than him?

He turned to look at Suyu, Suyu naturally didn't hear his whisper to Xuan Xiao, but just hearing the words "begging for a wife", her face was already flushed, she stood far away, and gave him a sideways glance Said: "You are talking nonsense, go to Sihui Valley by yourself and stay for half a month!"

***

The sailboat sailed with the wind, and arrived at Anxi at noon on the second day. The three of Qingxiaoyu went ashore to bid farewell to Fengshuibi of the stream. Although the five of them had only been together for a few days, they had already formed a friendship after traveling together. Abandon.Shui Bi is very fond of Suyu. Before returning to the boat, she took out a crystal green jade pendant from her bosom, threaded it on with a water-red silk thread, and hung it around her neck. Brought from the heavens, it is still precious, now give it to Sister Suyu as a souvenir."

The wooden boat drifted a few feet away from the shore, and Xifeng suddenly turned around and rushed to Xuanxiao and said loudly: "Boy, when you become a fairy, you might as well come and find me, and then you and I will compete!"

Xuan Xiao cupped his hands away, raised his eyebrows and replied proudly: "I will definitely not break my promise."

The brook wind laughed loudly, opened the sail, and the boat drifted away, slowly melting into the clear water and Daishan Mountain, inseparable from the ripples on the river surface, and finally even the tall white sail turned into floating clouds in the sky.

Suyu caressed the Empress Jade around her neck, and sighed slightly: "This farewell, I don't know if we will see each other again." She and Tianqing Xuanxiao went down the mountain this time, and met the Seven Heroes of the Wild Goose, the Jiaolong Clan, Xixi, etc. one after another. Feng Shui Bi and Jin Fan bandit, now one by one are gone, and finally there are only three of them left, and there is a sense of emptiness in my heart.

In the long years to come, Xifeng and Shuibi will occasionally recall the three young people they met on the islands in the East China Sea.Although Xuan Xiao made a vow to compete with Xifeng that year, he never went to look for him again in his whole life. Xifeng knew that such a young man would never break the contract because of fear, but life is impermanent and changeable, and no one will ever know What will happen tomorrow? It is already a lot of fate to meet each other once.But these are all things for later.

And in the mid-spring of that year, after the rain, the sky was clear and the sun was just right. The three of Qing Xiaoyu walked westward along the wharf, and after a while, they saw Anxi City. , was deeply rutted by the wooden wheels of the passing carriages.There are two rows of old pear trees along the road. It is the flowering season at this time, and the flowers all over the city are more than snow. When the south wind blows, the falling flowers will confuse people's eyes.The youth's past happened unexpectedly, Yun Tianqing pointed at the flower snow and said with a smile: "The flower trees in this place are somewhat similar to the drunken flower shade over there, but they are not as good-looking as the phoenix flower."

As soon as he said this, the three of them felt that it had been a long time since they had been down the mountain, and Fang began to miss Qionghua's sent.Xuan Xiao nodded slightly: "When we find Senior Brother Xuan Ji, we will go back to the mountain."

As soon as the three of them reached the gate of the city, they saw a wanted notice stating the names of the thirteen thieves in Huainan, and the faces of the thieves were painted underneath.Seeing this scene, Suyu was quite worried, and frowned, "Looking at how heavily guarded they are, I'm afraid that group of thieves are very powerful. I don't know if Big Brother Hankong can handle it?"

Yun Tianqing didn't care too much, just put his arms behind his head, and smiled: "Thirteen of them deal with thirteen, they already bully more than they do, if they can't handle it anymore, don't mess around on the Yangtze River in the future." La."

Suyu also smiled, relieved for the time being, and sighed: "This Anxi City is really big, where can we find Senior Brother Xuanji?"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a light voice sounding from the back of his head: "The head of Taiqing once said, you might as well go to the pharmacy to look for it."

The three looked back in amazement, only to see a bluish halo floating behind them, it was Kui Zhao who hadn't shown himself since last night.Yun Tianqing widened his eyes, pointed at him and shouted: "You, you, why didn't you show up in the middle of the night last night? You also said that when the master is in trouble, he should help himself. It's really like talking—"

Kuizhao interrupted him arrogantly: "I look forward to Shu Jianling, how can I fight with water robbers and hair thieves?"

Yun Tianqing snorted extremely disdainfully: "You are obviously timid! Don't argue!"

Xuan Xiao also looked at him coldly: "You'd better get out of the sword, lest the Maoshan Taoist priest who specializes in drawing talismans to exorcise ghosts see you and take you away."

Kuizhao gave him a hard look, but obediently disappeared.Yun Tianqing laughed, and said: "Master Taiqing is right, since senior brother Xuanji went down the mountain to look for medicine, let's go to the medicine shop and ask, maybe we can find his whereabouts."

Without further ado, the three of them asked passers-by on the street where the pharmacy was, and went straight there.As soon as he walked to the door of the pharmacy, he heard a burst of noise. When he looked inside, he saw a crowd of people standing inside, and a slightly old voice said: "This child has a lump in his abdomen, and his face is red. You need to use Shengdi, blood brown, myrrh, gooseberry, decoct with water and wine, take it for laxative."

Another voice smiled coolly, and said calmly: "If I use medicine, I will use Qianjinzi, raw keel, sumac, Wulingzhi, etc. to detoxify him and remove blood stasis."

That laugh was all too familiar, Yun Tianqing said pleasantly: "It's Senior Brother Xuanji!" hurriedly pulled Xuan Xiao Suyu, passed through the crowd, and squeezed into the inner hall.I saw a woman sitting in a corner with a five or six-year-old child in her arms, weeping uncontrollably, an old man sitting in front of the child holding a golden needle, and resting his other hand on his veins, frowning and contemplating. Xuanji idly stood aside with his hands behind his hands, as if he didn't care about anything, and said indifferently: "He is clearly poisoned, after taking your medicine, he must be poisoned with poison."

After hearing Xuanji's words, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, and some of them got very angry and couldn't help but cursed: "Mr. Huang is very skilled in medicine and has saved countless lives. Where did you come from, a barefoot doctor? What are you doing here? "

Mr. Huang also shook his head and stroked his beard and said: "Master Xuanji, at first I saw that you had unique insights, so I left you here to discuss medical skills, but human life is at stake. It's not appropriate for you to talk like this?"

Xuanji was about to answer, when the back door of the medicine shop was suddenly knocked open with a bang, and a girl in a white shirt with a blue border rushed in, holding a medicine bowl in her hand, with willow eyebrows flying sideways, shouting all the way: "You don't care about anything!" If you don’t understand, why do you think my brother is talking nonsense!”

Su Yu saw it at a glance, shook her head and smiled, "Junior Sister Su Xin still has such a bad temper."

Although her voice is soft, but Suxin has practiced Qionghua's heart method for many years, she has sharp ears and eyesight, and she can hear clearly. When she looked sideways, her eyes widened immediately, her brows were stained with joy, but Suyu smiled and made a gesture to her. Silent gesture.

Xuanji frowned slightly: "Suxin, people who practice medicine are most afraid of fighting, their words are unfounded, and only acupuncture and medicine can prove the truth."

Su Xin said: "Okay! Then I'll let him try it now!" Saying this, she stepped forward, pinched the child's jaw quickly with one hand, forced him to open his mouth, took the medicine with the other hand, and poured it into his mouth. Fill in.The young woman was terrified, rushed to snatch it, and cried, "What are you doing?!" Su Xin recited a fixed mantra, and the woman froze in place. After a while, all the medicine juice had been poured down. .

All the surrounding audience were stunned by this incident, until Su Xin put the empty medicine bowl on the table, then came to his senses, and shouted: "Little demon girl died of medicine!" Is there any royal law?!" "Quickly report to the officials!" The young woman leaned over and cried choked up as if the child had died.Mr. Huang also beat his chest and stamped his feet for a while: "You did a good job! How can you take medicine like this?!"

All of a sudden, the whole pharmacy was in chaos, Xuan Xiao raised his eyebrows, and wanted to stand up and speak, but Yun Tianqing pulled him away, and said with a low laugh: "The show has just started, let's sit and watch Senior Brother Xuan Ji show off." Supernatural powers are, why are you making trouble?"

Su Xin looked at the crowd around him angrily, but didn't defend herself, Xuan Ji was not in a hurry, as if he was confident about his medication, he stood calmly with his hands behind his back, took advantage of the gap to glance at Su Xin, shook his head and said : "I have my own way to convince them to believe me, you are too reckless."

Su Xin pursed her lips, with a dissatisfied expression on her face: "How can the treatment take so long? Senior brother doesn't care, but I can't wait."

While the two were talking, the child suddenly sat up and complained that he had a stomach ache and wanted to go to the toilet, everyone was startled again, the young woman hurriedly wiped away a couple of tears, carried him to the back of the house, and when she came back, the child was filthy. The food has been vomited and diarrhea. Although his face is blue and yellow, his spirit is much better.Mr. Huang was secretly amazed, when he caught his pulse, he felt steady and slow, and his illness was improving, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and said to Xuanji: "Mr. Ashamed." As soon as he said this, he immediately suppressed the noise of the onlookers.

Xuanji returned the gift, then took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and put it gently on the table: "This Yuzhen powder is very good for Mr. Ling's illness, take a teaspoon a day, after taking it, you can expect a good recovery It's done." After that, without waiting for the young woman to say thank you, she pulled Su Xin away and strode out amidst everyone's astonished gazes. When she passed by Yun Tianqing and the others, she hummed slightly: "Morning I saw a few of you, why don't you follow up quickly?"

The three hurriedly followed the two of them out of the pharmacy, passed through an apricot grove behind the house, and was approaching the outskirts of Anxi, when a small stream like a jade belt suddenly appeared in front of them, beside the stream were two houses with white walls and black tiles. Curly blue smoke floated out, but the smoke was not pale like the smoke from ordinary people's cooking, but a little purple, and exuded a faint smell of herbs, I don't know what was burning.Yun Tianqing knew that he had arrived at Xuanji's temporary residence, so he pointed to the tile house and said, "Senior Brother Xuanji is so blessed that he found such a place to live."

Su Xin said rather proudly: "There is an old couple living in this place, because I cured the old woman's illness, they let us live in a room."

Suyu looked at her with a smile: "Junior Sister's medical skills are getting better and better."

After Su Xin heard this, she was not very happy: "Hey! It's a pity that my swordsmanship is always bad. Last time, Senior Sister Su Yao said that I was more suitable for using soft whips. I came from the magnificent Qionghua Sword School, but went to It's too embarrassing to learn a whip!"

Suyu knew her youthful nature, she had regarded Suyao as an opponent all these years, and wanted to win her, so she smiled and said: "Brother Xuanzhen has the best swordsmanship, why don't you let him teach you?"

Su Xin sighed and said, "Eldest brother only likes to forge swords. I asked him to teach me how to transform Xiangqianfang, but he told me the difference between ores. It's really boring." Xiang Xuanxiao: "How about senior brother Xuanxiao come and teach me?"

Xuan Xiao has always spoken without giving people face at all, and said sharply: "Your cultivation is not enough, you can't learn."

Seeing Suxin's eyebrows raised, Xuanji coughed immediately: "Suxin, please stop talking."

Su Xin had no choice but to stop, and pushed open the door of the tile-roofed house first. As far as he could see, Yuan Yi and Yuan Guang were kneeling in front of the medicine stove, holding a big cattail fan in their hands, fuming the whole room. The smell of the medicine was soaring, and she felt unhappy, so she snorted and said, "Two potatoes, you've been busy all morning, haven't you cooked the medicine yet?"

Yuan Yi Yuanguang heard the crisp voice, and when he looked up, he saw Xuan Ji and Su Xin standing side by side in front of the door, followed by Yun Tianqing, Xuan Xiao, and Su Yu, who hurriedly stood up to salute, and said in unison : "Master, the medicine has just been decocted."

Xuanji nodded slightly, and ordered concisely: "You two, and Suxin, go and watch outside the door. I want to give the needle, and no one should disturb me."

The three of them led the order to go out, Xuanji immediately closed the doors and windows, put down the bamboo curtains, the room was not able to see any light, only the stove where the medicine was frying was still igniting a reddish dark fire.Then he motioned Qing Xiaoyu to sit in front of the couch, and felt their pulse respectively. He didn't say a word for a long time, just concentrating on contemplation, and the green smoke rose up, blurring his delicate face. The wind outside the door blows through the apricot grove, making a slight rustling sound.

Yun Tianqing couldn't help asking: "Senior brother Xuanji, what's the problem?"

Xuanji glanced at him, and said: "You are fine, rest for a few days, and supplemented by the purple green jade ointment I prepared, your spiritual power will be fully restored. It's just—" He stretched out his finger Pointing to Xuan Xiao and Su Yu, "Although a doctor can save a person, it is only if the person wants to live. If he wants to die, Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save him."
