The fifth day of the first month -
Gu Guofu Wang Yuanhan, Chanyuan County Lord Chan'er and the accompanying Jing Hu, Luo Dong, Huang Feng and Yunwu came to the foot of Ci'an Mountain. Looking ahead, I saw the mountain road winding up.
The six of them climbed all the way along the mountain trail southeast of Ci'an Mountain.
The gentle breeze comes slowly, mixed with the fragrance of plum blossoms. A few bells rang from the temple on the top of the mountain, which made people feel calm and unconsciously have a sense of detachment.
In this way, I climbed the stairs, and in about half an hour, I had reached the mountainside.
"Why does it seem to smell of blood...... Chan'er has studied herbal medicine with her master Guan Zhou, so her sense of smell is the keenest among the several people.
Hearing this, Huang Feng and Yunwu began to look around for suspicious signs, and soon found a young man who was injured and unconscious in the grass on a nearby wild road.
"He lost so much blood that he fainted." Yunwu glanced at the wound on the young man's body, probed his nose again, and said.
"Huang Feng, you help him stop the bleeding." Chan'er instructed Huang Feng, who was very proficient in acupuncture-related knowledge.
"Hmm." Huang Feng moved quickly, squatted down and bandaged the man's wound briefly, and then got up and said to Yuan Han and Chan'er, "It seems that he sealed a few of his acupoints before he fainted, otherwise he would have died a long time ago." ”
"So, there is still salvation?" Yuan Han asked.
"It's hard to say. After all, after lying in this cold winter air for so long, not only is the body cold, but the breath is also very weak. If it's not a very skilled doctor......"
"'Medical Immortal' Master Yishen will definitely be able to save him." Chan'er remembered Yishen, whom her master had mentioned and admired.
"Okay, let's hurry up." Yuan Han spoke.
So Huang Feng put the young man on his back, performed light skills, and sped up.
~~~
After a stick of incense, several people arrived in front of the main gate of Ci'an Temple. A monk guarding the gate noticed that someone was injured and greeted him.
"A few donors, this is ......"
"Little master, his injuries are very serious, may I ask if Master Yishen is not in the temple?" Huang Feng replied.
"Uncle Shi is in retreat. In this way, the little monk first informed the master to come and see the benefactor's injury. ”
"I'm tired."
In an instant, the monk came out of the temple and led a monk to this direction.
"This is the master of the little monk, the eldest disciple of the abbot's ancestor, Master Pranya." The gatekeeper monk introduced.
After four years of meditation, the profundity of Buddhism is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the calmness in dealing with people is even more difficult for people of the same age to achieve. However, when he saw the wounded young man's face, he frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid I can only ask Uncle Shi to come out of the customs." Praruo muttered to himself and looked at Yuan Han and the others, "Donors, please come here." ”
Praruo led Yuan Han and the others to the front of the meditation room, motioned for a few people to wait for a while, and then gently pushed the door and walked into the meditation room.
"What's going on?" Yi Shen, who was in the middle of the room, was meditating with his eyes closed, and he didn't open his eyes when he noticed the arrival of Prajna.
"Uncle Shi, the donor of Nanying has been seriously injured. Several donors met him on the way up the mountain and sent him up the mountain. ”
"Amitabha." Hearing this, Yi Shen folded his hands, wrapped the rosary in his hand around his wrist, and finally opened his eyes, "Hurry up and invite all the donors to come in." ”
"Yes."
"Master Yishen." Yuan Han, Chan'er and others followed Praruo into the meditation room and bowed to Yishen with his hands folded.
Yi Shen also returned a salute to a few people.
Huang Feng squatted down and placed the young man on the futon that Prajna had placed in front of Yishen.
Yi Shen put his hand on the young man's wrist, listened to the pulse, and asked:
"There's something I want to ask a few donors."
"Master, please speak." Yuan Han answered.
"But this benefactor was seriously injured by a siege?"
"We didn't see how he was injured, it was Yue'er who noticed something wrong, and we found him in the grass." Yuan Han replied.
Since leaving the Hengguo Palace, in front of outsiders, Yuan Han has called Chan'er by her name "Yue'er" when she was in Moge, and asked Chan'er to pretend to be her maid, saying that it was to avoid unnecessary trouble, but in fact, it was to protect her.
Receiving Yuan Han's gaze, Chan'er nodded cooperatively, and added:
"Judging from the surrounding situation, this son should not have been attacked on the mountain, but it is difficult for him to be seriously injured and climb a lot of mountain roads."
"He's here to heal his wounds. Thank you to the little benefactor for saving him. After Yishen finished speaking to Chan'er, he looked at Pranya again, "It still takes some time here, take the donors to the East Chamber to rest first." ”
"Yes, Uncle Shi."
~~~
Walking out of the Zen room, Chan'er asked out of curiosity:
"Master Praruo, listening to Master Yishen's words, are the master and that son acquaintance?"
"As the donor said, that donor is an apprentice of an old uncle, who came to the temple with his master a few years ago, so both the monk and the uncle know him."
"With Master Yishen personally healing him, he will definitely get better soon." Yuan Han said with a smile.
"Thanks to the help of the donors."
"Senior brother, it turns out that you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time." A monk who was slightly younger than Prajna came with a long stick in his hand to perform light feats, and before the person arrived, the stick had already touched the body of Prajna.
The figure shook for a moment, but did not move a single step under his feet.
But the long stick didn't even touch Prajna's clothes.
Seeing this, the people who came attacked Prajna again, and the long stick attacked violently, and the landing point covered all parts of Prajna's body.
This time, Prajna finally jumped in the air with a light tap on his toes, and after falling back to the ground, his steps were even more staggered, and he avoided the attacks of the long stick one by one without hurrying.
However, the move "sweeping thousands of armies" that was avoided by Prajna actually had the potential to affect the original meaning standing next to Prajna. Faced with this scene, Luo Dong hurriedly stepped forward, raised the sword in his hand, and took the stick move of the future person. The clubs and swords joined each other, causing the swords to buzz in their sheaths.
"The donor is good at kung fu!" The man retracted the stick and erected it on the ground as he exclaimed.
While people came to praise Luodong's martial arts, Chan'er was also admiring Pranya's light skills. I thought that Qihong's light skills were rare in the world, and I didn't want anyone to be outside, which was eye-opening.
"This is Master's second disciple, at ease. On weekdays, he likes to find someone to practice the stick method the most, and he asks a few donors to forgive him for the rudeness. Prajna introduced.
"Amitabha. The little monk was offended. Zizi bowed forward with his left hand before looking at Luo Dong with a smile, "But this donor has strong internal strength, and he can block the little monk in a hurry, he is really a rare master." I wonder if the donor is interested in learning a thing or two with the little monk? ”
"Senior brother."
If there are only two words, he will be at ease, and he will be somewhat restrained, and he will say:
"The little monk is just asking out of habit, and a few donors should not be surprised. Since the senior brother is busy, the little monk will not bother, and will find the senior brother in the evening. ”
Zizi saluted a few more people and left first.
Subsequently, Pranya settled Yuan Han and the others to live in the East Chamber, and briefly talked about the time for fasting, and then also said goodbye and left.

At this moment, Yi Shen has finished healing Nanying's injuries.
Looking at Nanying, who was still in a coma, Yi Shen suddenly remembered the scene when Helianling, the lord of Weiguo, had dragged Yuan Jiutian to ask him for treatment, and for a while recalled the past between Yuan Jiutian and Helianling.
~~~
Yuan Jiutian was very weak when he was young, and his elder brothers always took him around to seek medical treatment, but it didn't work.
Once Yuan Jiutian accidentally got food poisoning, and because his physique was too weak, he almost died, thanks to Emperor Yi Guojing's invitation to the exquisite medical lady of the water, Ba Xue, to come to the rescue. So the brothers of the Yuan family owed Emperor Jing a favor and promised to help him fulfill a wish one day.
One day, Yuan Jiutian slipped out of the door by himself, met and fell in love with Helian Ling, the county lord of the Helian family of the Wei Kingdom, on the border of Yi and Wei. And Helian Ling only regarded him as a good friend. From time to time, the two would chat and play in front of a patch of desert roses.
It wasn't until half a year later that Helian Ling always mentioned a man when he spoke, and he was full of energy, and Yuan Jiutian finally knew that Helian Ling and Yuan Xia, Prince Gong of the lonely country, had a marriage contract.
Yuan Jiutian decided to hide his illness and left on the day of Helian Ling's wedding.
But a month before Helianling married to the lonely country, Yuan Jiutian suddenly fainted, which made Helianling know about Yuan Jiutian's illness.
Since then, in the past month, Helian Ling dragged Yuan Jiutian to many places, looking for Yi Shen, who was traveling around the world at that time and was obsessed with medical research, and finally helped Yuan Jiutian cure his illness.
But on the eve of Helianling's wedding, Yuan Jiutian did not say goodbye.
A month later, Helian Ling married Yuan Xia, Prince Gong of Guguo, and gave birth to a daughter the following year, and the family lived a happy life.
And Yuan Jiutian and Yishen became friends and traveled with him.
Nine years ago, Yuan Xia died in battle, and Yuan Jiutian was worried about Helian Ling and sneaked into Prince Gong's mansion, and followed her all the way into the palace of Yiguo.
When he knew that Helian Ling's purpose was to assassinate Emperor Jing of Yi Kingdom, because of the grace of Emperor Jing, Yuan Jiutian unconsciously stopped Helian Ling.
Helian Ling revealed his identity because of this.
In a hurry, Helian Ling only killed Chang Li, the general of the Yi State who attacked Yuan Xia, and fled from the palace.
At this time, not only the lonely country and the Yi country, but also the night country was not calm.
The queen of Emperor Tao of the Night Kingdom, Princess Ru of the Kingdom of Victoria, was a friend of Helian Ling when she was a child, and was framed by someone because of the ** dispute and was imprisoned in the cold palace by Emperor Tao. Emperor Tao originally loved the queen deeply, but he made this decision due to pressure from many parties. Unexpectedly, the queen was poisoned by the mother of the eldest prince in the cold palace.
When Helian Ling was separated from Yuan Jiutian in the palace of Yiguo, he already had the heart of death, so he asked Yuan Jiutian to rescue Nanying, the son of the queen of the night country, from the palace and raise him.
When Helian Ling was evading pursuit, six young soldiers who had been seriously injured in the previous battle with Yuan Xia and temporarily stayed in Yi Country heard that Helian Ling was being chased and killed, and met Helian Ling on the way. Helian Ling gave the six people the task of revenge, and returned to the lonely country alone.
When Yuan Jiutian brought Nanying back to his retreat as agreed, he was shocked to learn that Helian Ling committed suicide in order to prevent the two countries from going to war.
Yuan Jiutian blamed himself and was in pain, and did not eat, drink, sleep, or speak for several days and nights.
Yuan Jiutian's four elder brothers tried everything to regain his consciousness, but to no avail, and finally had to threaten him that if he was still a piece of wood, he would send Nanying back to the Night Kingdom, which made Yuan Jiutian sober up.
From then on, Yuan Jiutian took Nanying as the sustenance of his feelings for Helian Ling, and took care of him as Helian Ling's child, and let several brothers swear not to accept apprentices again, so as to avoid any threat to Nanying, and allowed them to teach Nanying martial arts, but only he was Nanying's master.
With Yuan Jiutian's protection, the mother and son of the Great Prince of the Night Kingdom did not dare to attack Nanying easily, but Nanying never returned to the palace.
Five years have passed since then.
Next came four years ago, since the day Yuan Jiutian died in the Demon Palace, Nanying's personality has become more and more withdrawn.
Because he didn't like the restraint of the remaining four brothers of the Yuan family, Nanying often walked the rivers and lakes alone, which regained the attention of the eldest prince and Ziluo, and was frequently chased and killed by the killers secretly arranged by him and Sima Jiang Yan Pei and Di Qiu.
