Chapter 14 Peace
Qingyunguan was on fire in an apse, and the fire was not big, it seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and it was quickly extinguished.
When Shao Mingqing walked in, he saw that the hall was in a mess, scattered with collapsed desks and window lattices, and Xuan Zhenzi was being supported by two blackened Taoist priests.
Xuan Zhenzi's face was also dark, his hair and beard were also burned, and his expression was not frightened, but sad.
"Master, are you alright?" Shao Mingqing hurriedly asked.
Gen Zhenzi waved his hand to signal that he was fine, but he didn't even seem to have the strength to speak.
Shao Mingqing helped him to the side hall.
"Master, is it still not working?" He asked.
Xuan Zhenzi opened his hand and took out the blackened Fang Ding from his sleeve.
"Why can't it?" He muttered, "It's the Dan furnace that was set up according to the records in the classics, what went wrong?" β
Shao Mingqing also looked at this Fang Ding thoughtfully.
"Master." The voices of the disciples came from outside the door, "Your Majesty sent someone to ask how it is." β
Since Xuan Zhenzi got the First Emperor Ding, the emperor has been paying attention to it every day, and the matter of Qingyunguan's fire must have been known to the emperor.
"Wait a minute." Xuan Zhenzi said, while trying to get up hard.
Shao Mingqing stretched out his hand and did not support Xuan Zhenzi, but held his arm.
"Master, let me try." He said.
Xuan Zhenzi looked at him in a daze.
"What?" He asked.
"Master, don't tell His Majesty the Emperor that alchemy won't work." Shao Mingqing said, kneeling down on one knee and looking at Xuan Zhenzi. "Let me try."
Xuan Zhenzi was a little stunned.
"You? But you won't. He said.
"I can learn." Shao Mingqing grabbed his sleeve, "Master, didn't you say that I am talented and intelligent, and I am a rare Huigen in my sect, you see, I originally didn't know anything, but if you let me learn, I learned the Kanyu Sutra, and now I can also learn the Dan Sutra." β
Xuan Zhenzi looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Mingqing. But I also learned the Danjing. This is not a question of the scriptures. He said, "Rather..."
"Master." Shao Mingqing interrupted him, grabbed his arm and shouted, "Let me try again." β
Gen Zhenzi looked at him.
"Master. Tell His Majesty the Emperor. Shao Mingqing is alchemy. Shao Mingqing said.
Gen Mako sighed.
"Mingqing. What's so good about you? He said, "How long can it be delayed, I can't practice." His Majesty still has to ask the Xie family. β
Shao Mingqing smiled.
"How do you know if you don't try?" He said, "Master, maybe I can really practice, Master, you have to believe me." β
As long as he replied to the emperor, as the person who discovered the First Emperor Ding, the emperor must believe him, and even thought that maybe the young lady of the Xie family taught him the secret recipe of how to make alchemy.
The emperor will not ask any more questions, Xuan Zhenzi will not admit that he is powerless, and the emperor will not move to summon the Xie family.
In this way, there is no need for this young lady of the Xie family to reiterate the precept of not alchemy in front of the emperor, and it will not give the young lady of the Xie family the opportunity to vainly try to seize the new opportunity to trade for fame and fortune in front of the emperor.
He came to the capital wholeheartedly, guarding the Qingyun Temple, and guarding the First Emperor Ding, just for this.
Gen Zhenzi smiled and stood up holding his hand.
"I believe you, I will tell Your Majesty like this." He said.
Shao Mingqing knelt down with joy and thanked him.
Xuan Zhenzi handed him the First Emperor Ding in his hand and walked out by himself.
I believe that you must do your best to protect the young lady of the Xie family, maybe just like being able to comprehend the Kanyu Sutra, and the First Emperor Ding will also be broken.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xie Roujia felt a little unstable sleeping.
Maybe it's because I slept late.
She had dinner with the king of Dongping County and played chess with him, but she lost a mess, and complained angrily that he lied to others, and said that she didn't like anything she liked when she played chess so well.
"Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you won't." King Dongping said with a smile, "But if you like it, you will definitely be able to learn very well." β
Took the initiative to teach her to play chess, which calmed her complaints.
It was only after three o'clock that the two of them dispersed and went to sleep, until they fell asleep, and the tiredness of the three days of sleepless came together, and she felt that her whole body seemed to be soaked in water, floating but never sinking to the bottom.
There are always people walking and talking.
ββ¦β¦ I'm already unstable... Not yet healed...."
ββ¦ Is this hairpin available? β
ββ¦β¦ It's not enough to rely on hairpins alone..."
ββ¦β¦ What is needed? β
The voice was far and near, clear and blurred, noisy and tangy, making people feel bored, with both hands touching her forehead, the voice quickly disappeared, Xie Roujia felt that she had finally sunk to the bottom, turned over and fell asleep steadily.
When I woke up, my vision was a little dizzy.
As usual, I woke up before dawn.
Xie Roujia raised her hands above her head, stepped on the bed board with her feet, and exhaled a long breath with her cheeks.
A handsome face appeared in sight.
Xie Roujia's eyes widened.
"Your Highness? I'm arguing with you again? She asked.
Wang Wan'er, Dongping County.
"Nope." He said, "I'm here to see if you're awake." β
Oh.
But what do you think I'm doing?
Xie Roujia blinked and got up suddenly.
"What does Your Highness have to tell me?" She asked in a low voice.
Before she could get up, the hand of the king of Dongping County held her.
The warmth of the palm spread from the shoulders to the whole body through the thin **, and Xie Roujia's body couldn't help but stiffen.
The king of Dongping must have noticed her strange discomfort, but he didn't let go of his hand.
"It's okay, you don't have to rush to get up." He said, holding Xie Roujia's shoulder harder and pressing her back.
Something must be wrong.
Xie Roujia came back to her senses.
"What time is it, Your Highness?" She asked.
"Shen Shi Shi moment." Dongping County King said.
Xie Roujia sighed.
"Shen Shi moment?" It wasn't morning, she said. It's afternoon.
Teaching the scriptures is indeed exhausting.
Xie Roujia lay back and stretched out her arms.
It turned out that he was lazy to sleep, so the king of Dongping County was so worried.
"I'm too tired these days and haven't slept either, and sleeping for a day can be regarded as making up for sleep." She smiled and said, "Your Highness don't worry. β
When her words fell, there was the sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by Xiaoling's surprised voice.
"Miss Roujia is awake?" She said, people also appeared in sight, looking at Xie Roujia who was giggling with her eyes open, and couldn't help patting her heart. "Miss Roujia really scared His Highness to death."
Scared to death?
What's so scary about sleeping a little longer.
Xie Roujia looked at the king of Dongping County.
"What is there to be afraid of. Didn't I just sleep in and wake up late? She laughed.
"What's so scary?" Xiaoling said, "Miss Roujia, you've been asleep for two days. β
Two days?
Xie Roujia sat up abruptly again. This time, the king of Dongping County took a step back. Xiaoling reached out to help her in time.
"It's the hour of Shen in two days." She said.
King Dongping looked at her and nodded.
"How does it feel?" He asked.
Xie Roujia touched her head. I felt a little top-heavy when I got up, but it didn't hurt much.
"It feels good." She laughed, "I slept well." β
Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness. Do you want the doctors to come in? She asked.
King Dongping nodded, got up and got out of the way.
"No, you don't need to call a doctor." Xie Roujia waved her hand and said, "I'm just exhausted, just sleep enough." β
"Miss Roujia, it's good that you've slept enough, if it weren't for Your Highness..."Xiao Ling said.
At this point, the king of Dongping County interrupted her with a light cough.
What's wrong with Your Highness?
Xie Roujia looked at the king of Dongping County, and the king of Dongping County looked warm.
"I brought in a doctor, and the doctors said you were very serious." He said.
That really worried everyone, Xie Roujia nodded hurriedly.
"I think it's okay, but I've slept for two days, so I'd better let the doctor take a look." She said.
Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief and happily called the doctor to come in, and the king of Dongping County stepped aside, looked at the doctors, looked at them, and said that it was okay to prescribe a decoction to nourish qi and blood.
Since the doctor said so, Xiaoling did not refuse her request to get up again, and personally dressed her and combed her hair.
"Your Highness." Xie Roujia shouted outside, seeing half of his back through the open door, and turned around with her shouting, "Actually, sometimes I don't have to be sick, and the doctors will say it's very serious when they see it." β
Xiao Ling straightened her head and held her black hair with a hairpin.
Xie Roujia looked at the figure reflected in the mirror.
"....If you encounter this situation again, just ask a witch to take a look." She continued.
Xiao Ling sighed first.
"Again? Just onceβ" she said.
Before he finished speaking, the man in the mirror took over.
"This time, please."
Please?
Xie Roujia turned around in front of the dressing table and looked at the king of Dongping County.
"Two local wizards were hired, so we know what's going on with you." "They also said you'd wake up on your own, and we're not worried." β
No wonder the king of Dongping County was not so surprised to see her wake up, he was not worried when he knew it.
It's good not to worry, she is really afraid that others will worry about herself, so she feels that she is causing trouble to others, but what she has to do is often not allowed to choose and think too much, and it will be done, and it will be done if she does not achieve a life.
It's nothing, even if you know the danger, you have to do it.
Xie Roujia breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Xiao Ling put down the comb grate behind her and stopped talking, and finally lowered her head.
"I also told Miss Rouqing over there in Yushan." The king of Dongping continued.
"I'm afraid I can't tell clearly, Your Highness asked me to take a wizard to go, but the wizard didn't dare to go, so I just dragged it away." Xiao Ling added with a smile.
The Xie family is the first witch of Bashu, and the wizards of the Bashu realm dare not set foot in the realm of the Xie family.
Xie Roujia smiled.
"We don't need to go into detail about the result, Miss Rouqing also slept for a day and a night before waking up, and she understood your situation very well as soon as she heard about it." Xiao Ling then laughed.
"Is she alright?" Xie Roujia asked hurriedly.
"It's fine. Miss Roujia, Miss Rouqing is better than you, she slept for a day and a night, and you slept for two days. Xiao Ling said with a smile.
Xie Roujia's smiling eyes were gone.
"yes, yes, she's better than me." She nodded repeatedly.
Knowing that Xie Rouqing was arranged to explain very well, Xie Roujia only felt more and more relaxed, and when the food was put on the table, she ate two big bowls in one go, and went out for a walk to eat accompanied by Xiaoling.
The laughter was heard and the scribe came in.
"Your Highness, Miss Roujia is too reckless to act like this. Regardless of it. You've got to talk about her. He said.
"What are you talking about her?" The king of Dongping said, "Don't do it because of the danger?" β
yes, don't you do it when it's dangerous?
The scribe was laughing again.
"She will do whatever she wants, as long as her heart is at peace." Dongping County King said.
The scribe smiled and replied.
"Your Highness. Rest quickly. He said. You haven't closed your eyes in two days. And it took the blood of the heart. β
"Just a drop of blood." Dongping County King said.
But if the doctors want blood from their hearts, they just pierce their fingers, but these wizards actually want to take blood from their hearts, and the blood is not much. But that long needle pierced into the heart, although there have been many dangerous and strange things that have been seen with the father and son of King Anding for so many years, but this is the first time this kind of thing.
That's the heart, in case this wizard is not skilled, or has bad intentions....
"You're really worried, don't you believe me, don't you believe Miss Roujia?" Dongping County King said.
Miss Shin Rou Ka what? Miss Roujia is very good at witchcraft, but at that time, she may not wake up in bed for the rest of her life.
The scribe was stunned.
"Those wizards are very in awe of Miss Roujia, how can they harm her." The king of Dongping County smiled slightly.
Who believes this, the scribe laughed.
"Your Highness, hurry up and rest for a while, otherwise these eyes are red and swollen, and they will definitely be seen by the powerful Miss Roujia." He laughed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
"Miss Roujia, are you tired?" Xiao Ling asked, looking at Xie Roujia who was walking slowly.
Xie Roujia shook her head.
"Not tired." "It's only been a few laps." β
"Miss Roujia, you're not tired, the slave is tired." Xiao Ling smiled, "I know, you are really healed, better than me, I admit defeat." β
Xie Roujia laughed, waved her hand, and turned around.
"Then let's go back." She said, looking to the west for a moment.
Xiao Ling saw her solemn expression, and she looked over hurriedly.
The afterglow of the sunset on the horizon has not dissipated, and the blue and black sky is walking in golden, which is very beautiful.
But Miss Roujia's expression didn't look like admiring the view.
"Miss Roujia, what's wrong?" She asked.
Xie Roujia looked at the sky.
"Miasma." She said.
Miasma? What is it?
The night in the mountains was thicker than the plains, and it was already dark.
Because Yushan Mine does not mine, it will not be as bright as before, and the two miners walked out of the valley after inspecting the mine, their legs and feet were not good, and they were not assigned to the team going up the mountain for the time being, Miss Rouqing arranged for them to see the mine.
There's nothing to see in this mine, so it's very leisurely, but this kind of leisure is different from the previous kind of waste waiting for death, oh yes, they are not waste, they are still said to be useful people, although they themselves have no idea what is available.
However, life is not so hopeless after all.
The two of them talked and laughed, limped towards the residence, and suddenly stepped on something soft.
It's animal feces, but as you step on it, there's a strange scream.
The two miners, who had bad legs and feet, were so frightened that they almost fell, because they felt that it was still early in the day, and they only saw a ball lying on the ground.
What is it?
A miner took out a fire twist and lit it, and a hand reached out.
"Help." At the same time, someone shouted hoarsely.
Is it human?
The two of them hurriedly approached the fire twister, and when they saw the people on the ground clearly, they were even more frightened.
This is still like a person, with rotten sores on his hands and face.
"Help." He raised his hand again and reached over, and finally fell limply. (To be continued......)
