Chapter 107: Her Eyes
Chen Zhou glanced at him curiously and said, "Brother Xu, what's wrong?"
"Do you have osmanthus trees here? What...... Is this the smell again?" Xu Jing said puzzled.
Chen Zhou scratched his head and said, "Osmanthus, don't look at the master's room, there are a lot of medicinal herbs in it, the smell you smell may be the fragrance of her dried medicine." β
This explanation makes sense, osmanthus has the same flavor anyway.
Xu Jing turned his head at this time, but saw Xi Chaoqing looking ahead in horror, his pupils dilated, he pulled Xu Jing's arm, and said hesitantly: "Old ...... Husband, let's go!"
"What are you going, didn't you want me to come?" Xu Jing looked at Xi Chaoqing and felt a little strange.
"I'm very uneasy here! How are you going?" Xi Chaoqing regretted it in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it to him.
Xi Chaoqing hugged Xu Jing's arm, and there was a pleading in his eyes.
Xu Jing had never seen Xi Chaoqing with such a demeanor......
Wrong
To be precise, the last time he showed her the note, Xi Chaoqing also had such a panicked look.
Chen Zhou smiled at this time: "Miss Xi, what are you talking about? Although the master has a strange temper, she will not harm the two of them, especially Brother Xu is still the benefactor of our Qingjing Dao, you are too worried! β
What Chen Zhou said and what Xi Chaoqing was afraid of were actually not on the same channel at all.
What Xi Chaoqing was afraid of was ......
Xu Jing can get to know her again!
"Squeak......
Just then, the door opened.
From inside the house, came an old woman with a stiff back and white hair, and judging from the wrinkles on her face, her age was estimated to be ninety years old.
In such a cold weather, she only wore a long white dress, covering her bloated body, looking very uncoordinated, holding a brown and winding smooth wooden cane, and walked towards Xu Jing and the others step by step.
After seeing her, Xu Jing didn't have any surprise on his face.
Xi Chaoqing also said before that the president of the Ancient Medicine Association founded the Ancient Medicine Association 80 years ago, and he has not sailed west until now, so it is normal to have this age.
It's just that he didn't expect that this president would actually be an old lady, and in his impression, those Chinese medicine practitioners with superb medical skills were all taken over by the old man of the ancient road fairy style.
"Master, we're here!"
At this time, Chen Zhou smiled and beckoned to his master.
The old lady glanced up at Chen Zhou, then leaned down her back, slowly walked in front of Xu Jing, raised her head, and asked, "You are Xu Jing?"
Xu Jing looked into her eyes and was stunned.
The old woman's eyes did not have the turbid vicissitudes of the old man, but were as clear and bright as jewels, clean as a lake deep in the forest.
"Well, I am. Xu Jing nodded at her, thinking that this miracle doctor was special enough, and his eyes were so beautiful.
The old woman turned her head and glanced at Xi Chaoqing again, Xi Chaoqing was shocked, and in her eyes, there was a complex emotion that was biased towards anger!
It's her......
It's this eye,
A pair of eyes that Xi Chaoqing will never forget......
What hurt Xu Jing the most, and what made him affectionate the most, was a pair of eyes.
"Listen to my apprentice Chen Zhou, you picked the Tongyou flower?" The old woman's voice was very hoarse, and Xu Jing had to work hard to understand the meaning of her words, and also pulled Xi Chaoqing's thoughts back.
"Yes, it was just a trivial matter, but Brother Chen kindly invited, and I heard that the old lady wanted to see me, so I cheekily came over to meet the old lady. Xu Jing gave her a slight junior salute.
"I invited Xu Jing, who are you and why are you here?" the old woman turned her head and looked at Xi Chaoqing lightly and said.
"He is my fiancΓ©, I followed him all the way through thick and thin, I was afraid that he would be in danger, so I came with him, what's wrong?"
Without waiting for Xu Jing to speak, Xi Chaoqing's face was fearless, and he replied first.
"Have you ever been to the Qingjing Taoist Temple before?" the old woman's face did not change, and she still asked Xi Chaoqing in a slow tone.
Chen Zhou felt a little abnormal at this time, touched the back of his head and said: "Our Qingdao Temple, ordinary people will never find it, friends from other Taoist temples come to visit, they are often lost, I just came back from the capital not long ago, Brother Xu, how did you find here?"
Xi Chaoqing said lightly: "Because I've been here before." β
Xu Jing listened to their painless conversation, and was very dissatisfied, just put it in normal times, his grandfather is still in the hands of Kang Jinzong, he doesn't want to spend meaningless time here, Xi Chaoqing has lived a lifetime, naturally he has been here in his last life, he himself knows how Xi Chaoqing came.
"Old lady, how did we get here...... Is it important?" asked Xu Jing.
The old woman shook her head, her face didn't seem to have a second expression, it was always a paralyzed face, she turned around and walked towards the wooden house, and said, "It's not important, you come with me, I'll tell you what's the use of Tongyouhua, Chen Zhou, you just stay outside and go to practice." β
"Yes!"
Xi Chaoqing looked at the old woman's back and frowned slightly.
Now that she has lived a new life, she has been by Xu Jing's side for so long, and with Xu Jing's rigid and stubborn, single-minded and serious personality, it seems that she doesn't need to be so skeptical of her.
It's just that when Xi Chaoqing met her in the previous life, he was later than he knew Xu Jing, and he didn't know that she had the dual identity of the head of Qingjing Dao and the president of the Ancient Medicine Association.
"Husband, let's go in with her. Xi Chaoqing turned his head and said to Xu Jing.
"Hmm. β
In this wooden house of more than 50 meters, there are not many herbs as Chen Zhou said before.
At a glance, there is only a simple desk, an ordinary small wooden bed, plus some small chairs, cabinets, towels, basins and other daily necessities.
But the air inside smells very good, it is a light osmanthus fragrance that is rich but not strong, which is refreshing, if it is not for the season, Xu Jing actually likes to smell this smell very much.
"Look, there are three flowers here. β
The old woman pointed to the three Tongyou flower petals on the desk that she opened and dried, and said: "These three Tongyou petals can be used for three different medicinal effects, since you helped my apprentice obtain the Tongyou grass, then I will help you give you the finished product after the Tongyou flower is used in medicine, but you hear clearly, I will only help you enter one medicinal effect, and you can't choose more." β
The old woman stretched out her hand and pointed to the petals on the table, Xu Jing was surprised to find that her wrists and palms had a girlish white and delicate, as bright as fat, and even the pale cyan blood vessels were faintly visible.
Xu Jing couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he had heard that some old people had the characteristics of "crane hair and youthful face", which meant that the body and hair of those old people were as gray as ordinary old people, but their faces were as young as young people, which showed that the old people were very well maintained......
But the old woman in front of her came the other way around......
She looks very old, but how can she look like an old man in the palm of her wrist?
"Sure enough, it's the master. β
Xu Jing secretly admired in her heart, it was not unreasonable that she could live for so long.
"Listen well, don't get distracted, the old lady's voice is small, you must not choose the wrong one. The old woman glanced back at Xu Jing lightly and said to him.
"Yes. Xu Jing came back to his senses, straightened his expression seriously, and looked at her intently.
"This first petal can be used in the 'body refining medicine', and after taking it after the finished product, it can make your cultivation greatly increased and guaranteed...... Let's cross a grade. β
After hearing this, Xu Jing asked Xi Chaoqing with some doubts: "Xi Chaoqing, what is crossing a grade? Is it to make my cultivation from the fifth layer of the foundation building period to the sixth layer of the foundation building period?"
Xi Chaoqing took a deep breath and said slowly, "You're talking about crossing a level...... A grade is divided into five grades, and spanning one grade can allow you to go from the fifth floor of the foundation building stage to the first floor of the knot stage!"
Xu Jing gasped and said, "It's still ...... And there is such a panacea?!Then what is there to choose, this is it!"
"Young man, don't be impetuous, there's another one. β
The old woman was still the same as Gujing Wubo, pointed to the second petal, and said: "This second petal can be used into the 'quenching medicine', after taking it, it can melt the cultivation golden pill in your Qi Sea Dantian, and enter your meridians and acupoints, so that your strength will be greatly increased!"
When Xu Jing heard this, he frowned and said, "What is the difference between this and letting me raise a grade?"
Xi Chaoqing's eyes narrowed and explained, "Melting the Cultivation Dao Golden Pill means that you are no longer a cultivator...... It's a martial arts practitioner! The qi of a martial arts practitioner circulates in the limbs and hundreds of remains, and his physical strength is much higher than that of a cultivator of the same level!"
Xu Jing frowned and said, "I'm a good cultivator, why should I become a martial artist?"
The old woman said slowly: "If you become a martial arts practitioner, you will not be a casual cultivator, and you will not be hunted down by the sect family! Moreover, it is much more difficult for a martial artist to improve his strength than you cultivators." Cultivators can use the mental method to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, martial practitioners can only rely on training and medicinal materials to assist in refinement, you use the advantages of cultivators to lay a strong foundation, with your current cultivation, you can probably convert to the middle stage of Tianjin's martial arts master, and soon you will be able to enter the Tao with martial arts, reach an unknown realm, and complete the ultimate dream of martial artists, which is much more powerful than cultivators!"
As soon as she explained this, Xu Jing was a little moved again!
And the old woman's eyes looked at Xu Jing without blinking, as if hoping that he would be able to choose this petal-
Expect him to turn into a martial arts practitioner!
"That'...... Finally, what is the effect of this third petal?"
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Jing found that the effect of the two petals in front of him was a bit fierce, like a dream, and it was so strong that it was not very real......
"I don't really want to talk about the medicinal effect of the third petal. The first two petals don't attract you?!" There seemed to be a hint of blame and anger in the old woman's tone.
