On the southern outskirts of Suzhou City, at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, there is a thatched hut where a family lives.Now there is only one person in this family.The time has come to an end. According to ordinary people, it should have been lunch and rest long ago. Only the owner of this household has finished using it. At this moment, he is slowly washing the dishes...

Ye Mengchen led a group of people, turned from the official road into a small road, walked along the bushes on both sides, and went straight to the foot of the mountain in the north of Fragrant Hills, the thatched cottage.

Walking all the way at a leisurely pace, even the farthest place is in sight, Chu Xunya, who was originally calm in the carriage, gradually became nervous for no reason, thousands of mountains and rivers, finally arrived here, finally arrived... this step.

"My son-in-law, we will meet with an old priest later, you must be respectful and courteous, and you must not mess around, do you understand?"

Shen Mingfeng put down the curtains of the car, retracted his body, looked at Chu Xunya suspiciously, blinked, and asked blankly: "Princess, who is that old Taoist priest from? Is he very powerful? Is he even more powerful than you?"

"Well, he...is better than Bengong."

The other party stared, with a look of disbelief, raised his proud head, and said loudly: "I don't believe it, how can anyone be more powerful than my princess?!" That expression seemed to be showing off how amazing something is. Son, wait for people to agree to speak out... But the person being shown off and the object of showing off are the same person!

Chu Xunya was speechless for a while, raised her slender hand to wipe off the folds on her collar, and then held the extremely familiar handsome and tender face, in her pure and happy black pupils, her more gentle eyebrows and eyes were reflected, for a long time , slowly approaching, put your face on it, get close, and print your cherry lips...

"Well……"

A short and lingering kiss, Chu Xunya stepped back a little, opened her eyes again, the enlarged face approached without warning, the second kiss became heavier, deeper, and longer...

"Well," until he couldn't breathe, Chu Xunya slightly pushed the man away, "Okay, it's almost here, come on, tidy up your appearance, and let the Taoist priest have a good impression." I do my best to treat you.

Half a moment later, the carriage stopped, and Chu Xunya opened the curtain to see that she had arrived at the gate of the thatched cottage.In front of him, Ye Mengchen got off the horse with a quick movement, and shouted loudly: "Master, the apprentice is back!"

Ye Mengchen's voice was forceful, and the person in the room who sat by the well in the yard and just finished washing the dishes didn't make a sound when he heard it. The kidnapper by the wall got up slowly, faced the door, and waited quietly.

Ye Mengchen pushed open the bamboo fence of the thatched hut, pushed open the door and entered.The courtyard door was wide open, and people outside stepped in one after another under Ye Mengchen's greeting.The guards were standing outside the courtyard, and only the third princess and his wife, as well as a few maids, entered.

This is the second time for Shen Mingfeng and others to step into such a simple and simple courtyard. The first time the Li's house is also a brick and earthen house, it is much better than this thatched hut.Of course, no matter how noble and extraordinary they are, they will not show any discomfort or dislike for such an environment.

The people in the courtyard were facing the courtyard door directly, so Ye Mengchen entered the courtyard door, and then saw standing in the courtyard, who was getting older and older, her master.

"Master! Meng Chen is back! Master, Meng Chen lived up to your expectations and brought him back."

Ye Mengchen hurried to the front of the master, knelt down on one knee and made a big salute, then got up and introduced several people.

"Master, this is the third princess who is famous all over the world. Next to her is the third son-in-law, the second son-in-law of the Minister of War, Shen Mingfeng. Princess son-in-law, this is Meng Chen's master, Master Mingzhen, The one you are looking for."

While speaking, Chu Xunya looked at the other party carefully, and saw that the man was thin, wearing a half-worn blue and gray Taoist robe, guarding the crutches, the silver threads on his head were combed neatly, and he was not tied in a bun. He was holding it lightly with a wooden hairpin. On the back and behind, the gray beard grows below the chest, both smooth and straight, the thin face is covered with wrinkles, looking very old, but the content in those brown eyes is half shrewd, half kind, Looking at it, he is a shrewd Taoist who is very old and has a sense of immortality.

While she was looking at others, the other party was also looking at her. Seeing that she was dressed in casual clothes, she was vigilant and nervous with a slightly tired expression. dignified and elegant.Looking at Shen Mingfeng, the son-in-law next to her, what I saw was her obvious curious gaze, the childishness on her face was taken off, her eyes flickered when she saw me looking over, her slightly pursed lips, and her slightly puckered lips. The color of shy...

After looking at it, I finally remembered the guest way,

"The old Taoist has seen the three princesses and three sons-in-law. The old Taoist feels ashamed that Princess Lao's son-in-law has come all the way."

The Taoist leaned on a crutch in one hand, and only slightly bowed his body to salute. Chu Xunya is not a person who pays attention to such trivial etiquette, so he nodded his head back.

"The Taoist priest is serious, this trip is about the son-in-law... It is my husband and wife who came here with a request, and I am the one who troubled the Taoist priest."

Knowing the etiquette and decency like the three princesses, she is always so impeccable.The old Taoist gave a hint,

"Princess Mansion Horse, please come inside." With the help of Ye Mengchen, he led those people to the house in the thatched cottage.

Chu Xunya patted the hands of the person beside her, and followed them.Shen Mingfeng still didn't take back his curiosity, and followed his own princess closely, lowering his voice and gossiping,

"Princess, princess, that Taoist priest's hair is so white, whiter than any old man Feng'er has ever seen! Do you think he is a hundred years old?"

Before Chu Xunya could reply, the person walking ahead smiled loudly, but gave a true answer: "Hahaha... Don't hide it from my son-in-law, in a few days, it will be Lao Dao's [-]th birthday. Now, you are still a baby in swaddling clothes! Hahaha..."

One word, two meanings.The two meanings shocked the son-in-law.

"What?! Are you eighty? You're much, much older than Feng'er! You say I'm still a baby, so could it be that you've seen me before?"

Shen Mingfeng really couldn't restrain his surprise, he rushed out quickly, and followed those two people, as soon as they got close, he felt a sense of inexplicable kindness, and immediately ignored him, and stretched out his hand, grabbing the old Taoist's other hand One arm was spared, and he carried a cane by himself.

"Hehehe! Good boy! Back in the day when I was poor, I was the one who welcomed you. How could I not have seen you? Back then, your little face was as big as a slap..."

The old Taoist seems to be reminiscing, walking slowly in, while slowly talking about all kinds of things in the past.Shen Mingfeng tilted his head, listening with great enthusiasm.

Chu Xunya behind him, including Qin'er Qiangwei and the others, were all very surprised. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally they all aimed at Her Royal Highness in front. Seeing her so calm, they had no choice but to express their surprise. Pressure in the bottom of my heart.

The yard is small, no matter how slow you walk, there will be a moment when you will end.Talking and laughing, the people in front had already entered the house, and the people behind followed suit.

The room is tidy and simple, and upon sniffing carefully, one can smell the smell of medicinal herbs, just like the small medicine research courtyard of the third princess.Such a familiar smell made Chu Xunya feel a little nervous and then relaxed, and when it came, she was at ease. She was ready to accept and endure all the results...

Although the room is small, it has everything you need. There is a square table against the wall in the middle of the hall, covered with a clean tablecloth, and a statue of a god of heaven is erected on it, offering cigarettes.Under the square table, there are two round cattail cushions. On both sides of the hall, there are two black lacquered wooden chairs and a small coffee table. It seems that there are guests here on weekdays.

Walking into the hall, the old Taoist stopped, turned around, and asked Chu Xunya to take a seat on the right chair, and the latter happily went there.Shen Mingfeng also let go, and instead of following Chu Xunya, he looked around the small grass house, looking around curiously.

With Ye Mengchen's support, the old Taoist sat down on the chair on the left, without saying anything else, he just said, "Disciple, go and boil water and make tea."

When Ye Mengchen heard the words, he obediently responded: "Yes, Master." After speaking, he nodded to the third princess and left the room.

Chu Xunya raised his eyes to look at the old man opposite, then calmly glanced at his son-in-law who did not know when he bowed down respectfully and worshiped the god, and opened his mouth lightly,

"Qiangweihe, you guys also go to help in the kitchen, Qin'er stays here."

The few people behind him did not doubt that he was there, and answered in unison: "Yes." Then, Qiangwei and Baihe retreated respectfully, leaving only Qin'er behind.

Shen Mingfeng over there was still kneeling on the round cattail, sincerely bowed a few times, muttering to himself, with a serious appearance, she is really a believer.Looking at the old man on the other end, he only focused on stroking his beard, and looked at the man's behavior with satisfaction and thoughtfulness in his eyes.Chu Xunya couldn't help but speak out, breaking the silence in the room,

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but dare to ask the elder, the son-in-law is nearly twenty years old, I don't know how the elder can treat her?"

When the other party saw the question, he withdrew his gaze from Shen Mingfeng, moved it over, and replied as he was about to answer: "It won't be too late to explain after the poor Taoist asks the son-in-law for pulse."

Chu Xunya nodded, turned her head to look at Shen Mingfeng, and called her: "Okay son-in-law, get up quickly, let the Taoist priest give you the pulse!"

Shen Mingfeng was startled when he heard this, and suddenly got up and rushed towards Chu Xunya, very vigilant, lowered his waist and leaned into her ear, and said softly: "Princess, you forgot, Feng'er can't ask outsiders to get the pulse! "

Hehe, the son-in-law is very vigilant and conscious!Chu Xunya couldn't help feeling comforted, but also couldn't help feeling dumbfounded: "Feng'er, the Taoist priest is not an outsider, he came here to see if you are in good health! Could it be that you just forgot what I said, the Taoist priest? It’s better than Ben Gong, you can rest assured to let him see it, it won’t be bad.”

"Oh!"

After Shen Mingfeng heard this, he changed his expression, opened his mouth and let out a sunny, warm, habitual smirk, jumped up and down, and came to the old Taoist.

"Grandpa Taoist, do you want to look at Feng'er's body? The princess said you are very powerful, so look at it!" As he spoke, he opened the sleeve of his right sleeve with his left hand, exposing his white and tender wrist, and then stretched it out.

The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes, smiled twice, and beckoned her to sit on the side chair, then opened his hand and began to feel the pulse.After a while, the right hand finished asking, and then switched to the left hand. Shen Mingfeng was very cooperative and showed everyone one by one.

However, the old Taoist priest didn't stop after the routine questioning, but grabbed Shen Mingfeng's hand and spread it out, looking at the palmistry.

When the man asked Shen Mingfeng for his pulse, Chu Xunya stared at the expression on his face, from the slight suspicion and frown at the beginning, to the greater discoloration revealed after he checked his palm. , My heart immediately picked up.But no matter how nervous she was, she remained silent wisely and did not make a sound to disturb her.

As for Shen Mingfeng, this was the first time someone else took her pulse. After taking the pulse, she even held her hand and looked at it for a long time.

Unknowingly, two quarters of an hour had passed, the pulse was checked, and the portrait was read, the old Taoist sighed obviously, raised his hand to calculate for a while, then closed his eyes and thought deeply.

After such a long time, the people who boiled water and made tea haven't come back yet, presumably they understood the meaning of the people in the house, and hid safely in the kitchen, not coming to hear what they shouldn't know.There were still four people in the room, and no one made a sound.Shen Mingfeng looked at the old Taoist, and for a moment he had the illusion of seeing Da Luo's Immortal. Looking at him, there was admiration in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Another moment passed, when Chu Xunya felt that her throat was about to pop out, the priest slowly opened his eyes, looked over, and said in an old but powerful voice,

"Your Highness, before the son-in-law, was he seriously injured, or was he poisoned by some kind of strange poison?"

Chu Xunya over there was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and immediately realized, he exchanged a glance with Qin'er behind him, nodded,

"That's right, the son-in-law was poisoned by a strange flower a few days ago."

"Ugh!"

The old Taoist sighed heavily, paused for a while, then stroked his beard again, and said frankly: "The poor Taoist just checked the son-in-law's pulse, and also looked at the son-in-law's palmistry. I was [-]% sure, but now I don't know if there is [-]% left. become."

Chu Xunya was startled, moved her lips, and raised her voice a tone, but she didn't know whether to tighten or relax in her heart, and asked eagerly: "Please speak clearly."

"It's like this, ever since Pindao learned that the second son of the Shen family was mentally deficient, he speculated that he might have been punished by God for concealing his identity... Pindao blamed himself, and for the next ten years, he tried every means to find the way to restore his mind. Dharma... Finally, last year, the results were obtained, and after several tests, most of them were successful, at least [-]% sure... Last year, Pindao sent his apprentice to the capital, and he told her to bring him... "

Telling the ins and outs, Chu Xunya listened very carefully, instead of looking at the boring son-in-law, she didn't interrupt.

"But I don't know, this child was poisoned by a strange poison before the treatment. Although it was cured, I checked her pulse and found that there were some abnormalities in her muscles, bones and blood, which could not be eliminated. And now she I am afraid that the auxiliary body will not be compatible with the healing method!"

"What? The Daoist means..."

Chu Xunya never expected that the accidental poisoning back then would cause such serious consequences, Feng'er, she...

Before she could say anything, the Taoist priest spoke again and continued: "The other thing is this palmistry. From the perspective of a poor Taoist, her face is a sign of wealth and wealth for a lifetime, but her face is different from her palmistry. It doesn't match, the meaning of the palmistry, Pindao...Pindao can't interpret it, I'm afraid...I'm afraid it has something to do with her being poisoned and changing her physique!"

"Is this... really true?"

"Exactly!"

"Hmm...Princess, Grandpa Daoist, what are you talking about? Feng'er is a little hungry!"
