Li Zhang

Li Zhang slept until night. After waking up, he felt refreshed that he hadn't felt in a long time. Even his body became much lighter, and he faintly felt the breath flowing in his veins.He sat cross-legged suspiciously, carefully exercising his inner breath... Sure enough, the sharp pain that made him feel excruciating with a slight movement disappeared without a trace, and everything went so smoothly, even smoother than before, as if all the tendons had been dredged once.

"How does it feel?"

The door opened, Zheng Yiyan was standing at the door with a smile on his face, and Zhiqing's figure was briskly busy by the fire pond behind him.

"It feels good. It's just..."

"The restriction has been lifted." Zheng Yiyan laughed even more freely.

Li Zhang looked up at him, then lowered his head again: "Can you seal it for me again?"

Zheng Yiyan raised his eyebrows: "What? This is the side effect of taking Yi Gu, and you didn't intentionally solve it!"

Li Zhang was silent for a long time, and finally said shyly: "Since it was granted by the master, it is not easy to disobey it in private."

Zheng Yiyan was so angry that he blew his beard: "It's so hard-hearted! Mu Yan won't blame you if he knows!"

Li Zhang lowered his head, lost in thought, shook his head lightly and said, "Master won't forgive me. I... let him down so much. Maybe, it should be completely dispersed..."

Zheng Yiyan interrupted him: "Do you really want to let go of this effort?"

"is it okay?"

Zheng Yiyan said with a sullen face: "Mu Yan only restrained and not sankung at the beginning, naturally because sankung is extremely harmful to the human body. Are you completely ignoring Miss Nianqing's mood?"

Li Zhang turned pale, but still asked stubbornly: "How old is it?"

"Inner breath originates from the dantian and travels through the tendons, invisible and formless. If you want to dissipate, you can only break the tendons and destroy the dantian. How much damage do you think?"

Li Zhang was silent, but it could be seen that he still did not give up.

Zheng Yiyan raised his eyebrows again, just as he was about to say something, Zhiqing shouted from behind: "Uncle Zheng, brother! Come to eat!"

Zheng Yiyan then changed his words: "Eat first! Let's talk about this slowly."

Li Zhang was still a little dazed, and nodded silently.

During the meal, Zhiqing was as happy as a child, serving dishes to Jin Yi and the big wizard attentively. The big wizard looked at Jin Yi and then at Li Zhang, and said to Jin Yi with a smile: "You can feel at ease this time. Heck!"

Jin Yi snorted disapprovingly, looked at Li Zhang who was sitting on the side eating honestly, rolled his eyes and said: "What a young man, he is covered in injuries all over his body, I really can't rest assured that Qing'er will follow him !"

Li Zhang bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhiqing said unconvinced: "Zhiqing will definitely be able to bring brother back!"

"Look! The wings haven't hardened yet, so they say they can fly!"

Zhiqing pouted and said, "I've read all of Daddy's medical books."

Jin Yi didn't make a sound, obviously still under pressure, Zhiqing looked to Zheng Yiyan for help, Zheng Yiyan glanced at Li Zhang, but didn't speak.

For a while, everyone's eyes were on Li Zhang. Li Zhang raised his head, did not look at Zhiqing, and said seriously to Jin Yi: "Li Zhang was involuntary in the past, so naturally he couldn't say it. Now that he is free, he will not believe it." Lost to my sister."

Zhiqing's face shone brightly, her smile was brighter than the golden camellia outside the window.

Jin Yi's expression softened a lot, and he still stared at him closely and said, "I can still trust Qing'er's medical skills. It's just you, now that you have concerns, you have to think carefully before doing anything, so there must be no such thing as taking fake death medicine indiscriminately." !"

Li Zhang respectfully agreed: "Li Zhang remembers the lesson of the miracle doctor!"

Only then did Jin Yi open his eyebrows, Zheng Yiyan looked at Li Zhang meaningfully, Li Zhang avoided his gaze, and lowered his head again.

After the meal, Zhiqing said that she hadn't seen Sister-in-law Shi's situation for a long time, and she was going to check her pulse, and said goodbye to everyone.The great wizard and Jin Yi were discussing something by the firepit, and Jin Yi kept showing him medicinal materials.Li Zhang went out of the house alone, sitting by the pool, thinking about something.

There was still the sound of water roaring by the pool, and the water mist filled the air. Li Zhang put his hands on his knees, stared at the deep darkness, and stared blankly in a daze.

"Still confused?"

Zheng Yiyan walked over at some point, stood behind Li Zhang and asked indifferently.

Li Zhang got up to see Li, shook his head and said, "Since Li Zhang has agreed to the golden doctor, he will not mess around again. I just feel sorry for the master..."

"Why doesn't Mu Yan recognize you anymore?" Zheng Yiyan looked Li Zhang up and down, "I didn't hear that you did any outrageous things!"

Li Zhang lowered his head, his heart was tumbling, but he didn't know which sentence to say.Mu Yan's final hatred and sadness are still so clear, leaving more and more deep scars, and the self-blame he can't let go of, making him completely ignore the grievance and pain that belonged to him, and only remember the master's last decision.

So he simply said: "Master accepted me as an apprentice to save me, but I was rebellious by nature, I failed his expectations and broke his heart."

Zheng Yiyan laughed when he heard the words: "You? Jieao? How do you say that?"

Li Zhang didn't move, looked into the distance, and said softly: "I once wanted to kill the emperor."

Zheng Yiyan stopped laughing, and looked at Li Zhang again.Li Zhang smiled wryly, and continued: "If the master hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the country would have changed already.... At that time, I was only thinking of myself, and I didn't know how to regret my mistakes, which made the master so sad. The master killed me. , should also be."

"But he didn't kill you."

"That's also because of the emperor..."

Zheng Yiyan understood, and looked at Li Zhang's blurred side face with complicated emotions, vaguely feeling the sadness and helplessness coiled in his heart.

He suddenly changed into a relaxed tone and said: "If you want to talk about this internal breath, other people's families are indeed useless, but our master has another way!"

Li Zhang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Zheng Yiyan said, "Who is your master? That's Liu Muyan, who is astonishingly talented!"

Li Zhang hesitated to speak, his expression changed indefinitely, and finally he sighed softly and lowered his eyes.

Zheng Yiyan was in a good mood suddenly, and wanted to tease the child very much, so he sighed deliberately: "It's just that this method is not very kind, it is used to transform the arrogance of others obtained by arrogance."

"Arrogance?"

Zheng Yiyan nodded: "This is a way to empty the dantian and absorb hundreds of rivers. Since you can empty the dantian, it is naturally equivalent to losing your energy. But in this way, you will need to absorb new inner breath from time to time to help practice, so I say it is not good. Kindness!"

Li Zhang let out an "ah" and his eyes dimmed.

Zheng Yiyan looked at him with great interest and stopped talking.After a while, Li Zhang said sullenly: "Master... how could Mr. Liu have such vicious kung fu."

Zheng Yiyan looked at Li Zhang with rare seriousness: "Kungfu is dead, but people are alive. If you use this kind of Kungfu to harm people, it is a crooked way. If you use it to save people, it is a good way. So what?" Can it be said in isolation that it is right and evil?"

Li Zhang raised his head, his eyes under the moonlight were as bright as stars: "What do you mean, sir, Li Zhang should not be obsessed with how the inner breath comes from, but should straighten his body and mind so that he can use it for what he wants?"

Zheng Yiyan twirled his beard and smiled: "Of course!"

Li Zhang bowed and said: "Mr. Li Zhangxie for calling!"

Zheng Yiyan shook his head and said, "I can't bear it for Miss Qing!"

Li Zhang blushed and was speechless.

Not far from the side of the mountain road, Zhiqing quickly came back with a torch, and saw two figures standing by the pool, smiling brightly.

A few days later, the great wizard left.

A few days later, Zheng Yiyan, who wanted to wait for the wedding banquet, also left after learning that Li Zhang was still on guard and could not get married.Before leaving, he gave Zhiqing a volume of "Poison Classic", and then looked at Zhiqing's surprised look and said persuasively: "In the world, medicine and poison are never separated. Only by understanding poison can we use poison to expel poison better. What's more, , isn’t it good to have self-defense skills? If people don’t offend me, we will live in peace, but if they offend me, they will be punished!”

Zhiqing understood, thanked Zheng Yiyan, and began to read happily.

Jin Yi snatched Bai Zheng Yiyan angrily and said, "Are you the only one who knows how to be poisonous! She's a girl, what do you want to learn from those vicious things!"

Zheng Yiyan comforted Jin Yi and said, "You know I like to play around with these things. My apprentice is not interested, so let me pass on the treasure, right?"

Jin Yi squinted at him with contempt on his face: "It's all about crooked ways!"

Zheng Yiyan didn't think he was disobedient, he laughed and said to Li Zhang: "Your master's apprentice has been scolded by him as crooked! Shouldn't you save some face for him?"

Li Zhang looked at him innocently, not knowing how to answer.

Jin Yi pursed his lips and walked away, Zheng Yiyan was still unsatisfied, staring at Li Zhang with radiant eyes, and asked, "Do you want to visit the master's library cave?"

"...Is it okay?" Li Zhang's eyes flashed.

"Of course you can! The master never made it public because he foresaw the greed and violence of people's hearts, and he was worried that it would be harmful. Although you are no longer Mu Yan's apprentice, he finally saw it. Presumably the master will too. Accepted. This is the topographic map of that cave, you memorized it by heart, and you can clean it up for me when the time comes, and it will be considered a filial piety for me!"

Li Zhang took it silently, read it carefully several times, and remembered it, so he returned it to Zheng Yiyan.

Zheng Yiyan looked at Li Zhang and said with emotion: "Master, the most amazing thing is the art of war. It's a pity that I was young and lazy, and I had no talent, so I didn't get anything. Brother Mu was born as a guard, so I'm afraid I didn't get everything. I think you have the meaning of master's calmness and perseverance, and your understanding is also good. If you can learn it, it is really a blessing for the master, and the master must be very pleased!"

Li Zhang quickly thanked him and said, "Sir, you're overrated!"

Zheng Yiyan waved his hand: "I have self-knowledge. My master never forced me back then, so I knew I wasn't that material. It's understandable for you to feign death and leave the palace, and be discouraged. But Cheng Xuan defected to Rouran, and it would be a disaster in the future. You, the common people have never betrayed you, you should cheer up and do something!"

Since Li Zhang woke up in the small courtyard of the deaf mother-in-law's house, he was overjoyed to be reborn as a human being. Although he was relieved a bit later because of the scorpion, what he saw along the way opened his eyes and saw a lot of things from the past. The benefits that have never been noticed, naturally no longer live as dispensable as before.It's just that everything is disturbing, he has been impacted by Zhiqing and Gu Gu one after another, and he has no time to think about the future path. Now that Zheng Yiyan mentions it, and he has always admired and respected Liu Muyan, it has aroused him again. The heroic ambition of fighting on the battlefield that he had longed for before, so he nodded seriously and said: "Li Zhang understands! Mr. Li Zhang thanked you for teaching!"

Zheng Yiyan looked at Li Zhang for a long time, saw the clarity in his eyes and the firmness of his lips, and saw the shadow of his master again in a trance. He couldn't help feeling a little sad about parting, and turned around and waved his hands in a concealed way: " I'm leaving! I have something to ask the dark guard to come to me."
