18.Chapter 18
"Miss Ling, are you going out?" After staying for a long time, the Cihang Jingzhai disciple looked at Ling Chusi, who was dressed in an ink-colored dress, and asked with some uncertainty.
Ling Chusi nodded dryly, "That's right! Suddenly thinking of something, he took out a bottle of medium-grade hemostatic ointment made a few days ago, reached out and threw it over, and after seeing that Cihang Jingzhai disciple hurriedly caught it, he said very casually: "I am not at home during this time, and the medicine you want to restore qi and blood happens to have a bottle in your hand, so I will give it to you first!" β
"Thank you......" The Cihang Jingzhai disciple nodded, holding the white porcelain medicine bottle in his hand, but his face showed a little embarrassed, "I came to the mountains to collect medicine today, and I didn't bring enough silver taels ......with me."
"Oh, it's okay, let's count it together next time!" Ling Chusi said casually.
Although Cihang Jingzhai attaches great importance to it, however, the medium grade hemostatic ointment is not worth much to her, it is nothing more than a waste of bits and pieces of not very precious herbs after picking some bits and pieces of herbs, so she uses it to practice with simple prescriptions. It doesn't matter if you can sell a little bit or not, and you can eat it as a snack if you can't sell it.
Speaking of which, in the past few years, she has really made a small profit selling medicine to Cihang Jingzhai, but Ling Chusi really didn't expect that Cihang Jingzhai, a sect that lives in seclusion on Emperor Tread Peak all year round, is so not bad for money.
That Cihang Jingzhai disciple naturally didn't know what Ling Chusi was thinking, but she thought that she trusted Cihang Jingzhai, so she couldn't help but smile, nodded her head, and replied softly: "Then thank you Miss Ling." β
I've known each other for three years, and I've been doing business for almost two years, and Cihang Jingzhai only knows Ling Chusi's surname, but he doesn't even know his name.
"I'll go first, and I'll see you later." Ling Chusi also nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the Cihang Jingzhai disciple hurriedly shouting, "Miss Ling, please stay." β
"Huh?" Ling Chusi turned his head a little confused, "Is there anything else?" β
The disciple of Cihang Jingzhai showed hesitation, and then subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "The new emperor of the Sui Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and gave the late crown prince Yang Yong...... Now the Han King Yang Liang raised troops, and the new emperor sent troops to repel it, and now the world is not very peaceful, Miss Ling is going down the mountain at this time, and she hopes to cherish it again and again on the road......"
Ling Chusi nodded, this girl was kind, and she smiled slightly, "I wrote it down, thank you." β
But then again, the disciples in Cihang Jingzhai are obviously hiding from the world, but the disciples in the door, even if they are just a disciple of collecting medicine, are also very easy to the world's major events, especially the current situation and situation, Cihang Jingzhai is a little interesting, it can be said that it is a model of being far away from the rivers and lakes but never forgetting to worry about the king and the people......
Seeing Ling Chusi's relaxed expression, the original worried look gradually faded to write, and just smiled: "Miss Ling is extraordinary, I think this trip will be safe and sound." β
ββIn the past few years, except for the light skills used when he went to deep ravines and cliffs to collect medicine, Ling Chusi had never performed any other martial arts moves in front of others.
Ling Chusi smiled when he heard this: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words." β
After descending from the Qinling Mountains, Ling Chusi went directly to Huayuan, the hometown of Sun Simiao, the saint of traditional Chinese medicine.
However, after Ling Chusi arrived there, he unexpectedly learned from his fellow villagers and neighbors that Sun Simiao had traveled a year ago, saying that he wanted to practice medicine everywhere, and he would also collect various herbs for research along the way......
When asked about Sun Simiao's specific whereabouts again, those neighbors couldn't say anything except for pointing to the north with uncertainty and saying that Sun Simiao should have gone there.
Seeing this, Ling Chusi had no choice but to give up, wondering when he would get the exact news and then go to see Grandpa Sun Simiao, who was now in his twenties......
Anyway, with the superb medical skills of the medical saint Sun Simiao, it is only natural that he will become famous. Ling Chusi did not find out about the whereabouts of the Yin Yuan Society in this world, and it was naturally like looking for a needle in a haystack if he wanted to find someone by himself, but after Sun Simiao became famous, someone would naturally help find his whereabouts, and then he would follow him.
Having said that, however, Ling Chusi didn't have any other place to go at present, so he simply followed the direction pointed by Sun Simiao's neighbor and followed Sun Simiao's trail all the way.
In the same year, because Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty issued an edict to build Tokyo, serving more than 2 million strong men, making the nearby people unbearable, and the fields at home were difficult to cultivate.
Ling Chusi from the Qinling generation, all the way to the north, when she arrived in Luoyang, this ancient capital is still in full swing of construction, south of the river and north of the five mountains of the strange materials and stones have been transported here, even the four seas of exotic flowers, plants, rare birds and beasts, have also been brought over to enrich the royal garden.
Emperor Yang of Sui's arrogance and lasciviousness in life, Ling Chusi had seen it in the history books earlier. However, no matter how vivid the text is, I am afraid it cannot compare to the huge impact brought by seeing it with your own eyes.
Ling Chusi stood in the bustling city of Luoyang, recalling the scene he saw when he was traveling all the way, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned because the officials urged the construction of palace gardens to force the strong men who served to die of exhaustion.
When the world was peaceful, those ordinary people were suffering from forced labor, and when the world was in turmoil, the beacon fire and wolf smoke were everywhere, and in the troubled times, the bones were withered, and the people were not able to make a living.
Thinking of the history of the late Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, Ling Chusi suddenly felt a little excited, and casually entered a teahouse to find a quiet private room to sit down, and lost any interest......
With his own strength, he may be able to influence the situation of the war, but he will never be able to change the chaos of the war.
Ling Chusi knew that she was powerless in some things, and all she could do now was to treat and help the poor people she saw in front of her, and then watch the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty rise up, the Sui Dynasty will fall, and the Tang Dynasty will be established......
History has always been a strange circle in which a long time must be united, and a long time must be divided, and troubled times and prosperous times alternate.
Calculating the age, Tang Taizong Li Shimin seems to be seven or eight years old!
Ling Chusi sat in the private room of the teahouse, holding the pastries on the table in his hands, but he didn't know how to eat and thought of many things.
When she walked out of Luoyang City, she was still a little depressed, coupled with the bustling city of Luoyang, and the merchants and farmers who migrated over were endless, and the crowd seemed very dense, so that Ling Chusi didn't pay too much attention to the scene around her at first, but after she left the city, the pedestrians around her gradually became scarce, and she suddenly realized that the person who had been following her just now, thinking that the other party was just a passer, was probably actually following her.
Outside Luoyang City, the afterglow of the autumn sunset sprinkled a piece of gold in front of him.
On the edge of the ancient road of Changting, in a tea shed where everything is old except for the wine curtain hanging on the pole, there are several Jianghu people who are about to enter the city and rest here temporarily, throwing the reins of the horses in their hands to the shopkeeper, sitting down around the table, and beckoning: "The shopkeeper come with a few bowls of tea!" β
After Ling Chusi walked to the side of the tea shed, he suddenly turned around, and went directly to a jujube grove behind the tea shed.
Seeing this, the young man who had been behind her in the city just now, but who was not visible because he was in the crowd, a slight surprised expression flashed on Junya's calm face, and he was slightly stunned, but he immediately followed without hesitation.
The sky is getting darker, and the dark twilight is gradually shrouded in the sky, only a crooked crescent moon is dotted between the sea of stars, quiet and moving.
Ling Chusi was obviously walking around the jujube forest, but the pace became faster and faster, and after turning around, an ordinary jujube forest was actually walked out of the Qimen Bagua Array by her, so that the young man who followed behind had to stop, looking at the deep night, in the depths of the jujube forest, the scene seemed to be exactly the same on all sides, and a few traces of hesitation appeared on his clear face.
In the next moment, a flute came from behind and gently pressed against the still slightly beating veins on the side of the young man's neck. Feeling the light and unique texture of the ape bone flute, which was oily and almost jade, the young man in white who was calm and calm, and his body, which was suddenly stiff, gradually relaxed.
Ling Chusi slowly walked out from behind the tree with the flute in his hand against the vital part of the young man's neck, seeing the young man's appearance smiling slightly even though he was restrained, his eyes were as bright as stars in the night.
Ling Chusi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, although his hand did not relax in the slightest, the tone in his mouth softened a little, he looked at the face of the young man in front of him with a little surprise, and said softly: "Ji Xiaobai? β
"It turns out that my predecessors still remember me." Ji Xiaobai curled the corners of his lips and smiled gently, although his tone did not mean this at all, especially the word "senior" tossed on the tip of his tongue for a moment, which was actually quite meaningful.
Ling Chusi snorted slightly when he heard this, tilted his head sideways and smiled lightly.
She has been here for a few years, and she has seen a lot of people, but what she remembers most clearly is that there are only a few people with their own characteristics, such as Shi Zhixuan, Ji Xiaobai, Monk Likong and Fan Qinghui.
I haven't seen her for more than three years, Ling Chusi's height has grown a lot, although when she stood in front of Ji Xiaobai, she still hadn't reached someone's chest.
However, after all, her current body is still in her teens, and it is a little better than that of a child, and she really can't force it.
It was Ji Xiaobai, although he was smiling and calm, but after discovering that Ling Chusi was actually a little taller than three years ago, the great touch in his heart was indescribable.
After all, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, almost everyone on the rivers and lakes had tacitly acquiesced that Ling Chusi was the protector venerable of the Huajian faction, and he had cultivated the Huajian martial arts, which were not suitable for women, so that he went mad and his body became what it is now. Even if the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan and Ling Chusi both denied this matter in public during the first battle of Yangzhou, since the rumors in the rivers and lakes have spread, they will naturally not change lightly.
However, Ji Xiaobai, who was not nearby at the time, heard about this rumor later, but he was keenly aware of some other signs.
Until today, when I saw that Ling Chusi was compared with three years ago, except for a little bit of opening, his face shape was almost exactly the same, and that little bit of subtle signs finally took root and sprouted in an instant, breaking through the ground and hitting my heart - the speculation from three years ago seemed to have deviated from the truth from the beginning, and this qiΔ still had another hidden meaning......
