Chapter 40: Asking for Hardship

The climate in the mountains is fresh, and there is no noise in the market. The white clouds seem to be within reach, and they can calm their minds without deliberate action, so most of the people who live in seclusion are on the mountains.

In early summer, the breeze is quiet, not far from the house, a small bamboo house is located in it, surrounded by green bamboo, quiet and pleasant.

Ning Yuhe is a Taoist priest, and after ten years in Changqingguan, he naturally can endure loneliness, or he has become accustomed to it. Since he followed Xu Buling to Furong Temple, he took root in this bamboo house, except for occasionally accompanying Xu Buling to practice swords and drink a cup of tea, he never went out or saw guests, and his sense of existence was almost none.

At this time, Ning Yu sat in the teahouse, wearing a black robe, closing his eyes and concentrating, his waist and back were straight, and his chest was not tied with strips of cloth, which made the Taoist robe full of fairy energy look a little lustful, but no one bothered Qing Xiu, and only the butterflies that occasionally flew by could be appreciated.

Stomp –

The palace boots stepped on the bamboo leaves in the forest, and Mrs. Lu, who was dressed in a dark green palace skirt, walked slowly to the open space outside the bamboo house, with a jade hairpin obliquely inserted on her head, and a vermilion food box carved with a rui beast hanging on her arm.

Ning Yuhe's martial arts are extremely high, and he had already noticed that someone was coming, so he opened his eyes and bowed:

"Mrs. Lu."

"Chief Ning."

Mrs. Lu bowed back, walked into the bamboo house, sat on the futon next to Ning Yuhe, and put down the food box in her hand:

"Ning Daochang protects Ling'er every day, and preaches and teaches, and it has been really hard in recent days. You are Ling'er's master, but I, who is an elder, have no good hospitality, and the monks are not close to meat, and some melons and fruits have just been shipped from Lingnan, so I sent you some, can you taste them? ”

Ning Yuhe glanced at it and smiled: "Mrs. Lu has a heart." ”

Mrs. Lu currently looks at Taoist priests like a master in the world, so she is still a little cramped between her eyebrows and eyes, and she is a little silent, and then she says:

"I'm just going to come and see, huh...... I heard people in the market say that the disciples of the Daomen can live forever and have an eternal face if they cultivate the avenue, is it true? ”

Ning Yuhe shook his head and thought about it slightly: "Meditation and cultivation can indeed prolong life and maintain beauty, immortality is just a saying in the market, in my opinion, Taoist priests are not so magical...... Maybe it's because I didn't practice deeply enough, and I also entered the Evergreen Meditation ten years ago, and I became a monk halfway. ”

"Oh......"

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, sat a little closer, and said with a smile: "Anyway, what those people said is amazing, they know five hundred years before, five hundred years later, or something......

Ning Yuhe smiled helplessly: "There is also a difference between Taoist priests, the Quanzhen School I cultivate, I can't practice astronomical astrology divination, so I don't teach fortune-telling, Longhu Mountain is good at this...... But I secretly learned some of my own, this time I came to Chang'an, and before leaving, I also calculated a hexagram for myself, the hexagram is like 'trapped dragon rain, don't look at it, it's difficult to look back', which means: The trapped dragon encountered the rain that moistened all things, and when it was about to take off for nine days, don't look at it, you can't turn back when you see it...... On the way over, I paid special attention, but I didn't see a single snake, let alone the dragon...... Hehe......"

Mrs. Lu chuckled, and didn't know how to chat with the Taoist priest, so she hesitated a little, and simply asked directly: "The Queen Mother also often comes to Furong these days, and I see that the Queen Mother's complexion is much better, huh...... It seems that some special method was used, but I can't say it, Ning Dao is long and profound, can you know? ”

Ning Yuhe blinked, in fact, she also noticed that the Queen Mother she saw in the Song family's courtyard and the Queen Mother she saw recently were completely two people. It's just that she had very few chances to see the Queen Mother, and she couldn't say why, so she shook her head:

"The deep palace is miserable, maybe it's because I came out to relax and was in a good mood."

Mrs. Lu thought for a moment and shook her head: "It's not like ...... Could it be that he used some kind of health preservation method of the Daomen? ”

Ning Yuhe also saw Mrs. Lu's thoughts at this time, and it was not strange for this, after all, there were not a few ladies and young ladies who went to Changqing to ask about these on weekdays. She thought for a moment:

"The poor road is cultivated in Changqingguan, and there are some ways to maintain health and rejuvenate the face, if Mrs. Lu wants to, she can teach Mrs. Lu."

Mrs. Lu naturally thought about it, but she couldn't show too eagerness, so she sat up a little straighter and nodded:

"Hmm...... If Ning Daochang is not busy, you can try ......"

Ning Yuhe was fine, so he stood up immediately and accompanied Mrs. Lu to the house outside the bamboo forest.

The house is the room where Mrs. Lu lives, it is a small courtyard, and the moon slave and a few maids also live in it, and the environment is elegant and chic.

Mrs. Lu followed her to her boudoir dignifiedly, and looked at Ning Yuhe with some doubts, not knowing why.

Ning Yuhe walked to the side of the small couch and bowed slightly:

The lady took off her dress and lay down on the couch.

“?”

Mrs. Lu's originally dignified face stiffened slightly, but she didn't expect to take off her clothes...... Although they are all women, the women of Ning Yuhe's figure are envious when they see her, although she is not bad, but the title of "first beauty" is too scary, and she has some stage fright.

Ning Yuhe naturally didn't think so much, and smiled slightly:

"Ordinary massage methods are not easy to perform in dresses."

Mrs. Lu hesitated, turned around and closed the doors and windows, walked slowly to the soft couch, took off the dark green palace skirt, and lay on the soft couch wearing only moon-white thin pants and a peony belly pocket, and then untied the tether of the belly pocket, lay on her stomach with a slightly red face, and coughed lightly.

Ning Yuhe sat sideways in front of him, rolled up his sleeves, put his white hand on Mrs. Lu's shoulder, and pinched it a little harder.

"Woo~——"

Mrs. Lu suddenly shuddered, but she didn't expect Ning Yuhe to look almost as weak as her, her hand strength was so big, her pinched shoulder hurt, and she couldn't help but say softly:

"Ning Daochang, lighter ......"

"Madame endures a little, sedentary and inactive, qi and blood will inevitably be not smooth, when you are young, you seem to be fine, and when you are old, you will be easy to get sick. There is no harm in massaging more bones, I am measured, and my wife can rest assured that ......"

Mrs. Lu frowned, she was born into a family, she had never done heavy work since she was a child, and there was no need to say anything about the injury, the embroidery needle piercing her finger could make the maid frightened for a long time, where had she ever suffered this kind of hardship. He pursed his lips and hummed softly.

Ning Yuhe didn't want to make a decision, he didn't have any thoughts of pity for Mrs. Lu, saying that bone massage was bone massage, and after obtaining Mrs. Lu's consent, he slipped his hand on Mrs. Lu's arm, pinched the white wrist, and pressed his knee to the waist socket, which was to pull hard.

"Ah~~—Pain, pain, pain, ......"

Mrs. Lu's dignified temperament could no longer be maintained, lying on the couch, her upper body was pulled up, her peony belly pocket also slid down, and Tuan'er, who was not very affected by gravity, was exposed to the morning light and bounced twice. It's just that I don't feel shy at this time, frowning willow eyebrows and full of grievances, and my feet keep fluttering and kicking the soft couch.

Puff puff –

Ning Yuhe was a little funny, and he pulled his arm with just the right amount of force:

"The body is naturally flexible, and it will be pulled away after a few more exercises, which is much easier than martial arts practice, and endure it a little."

"Oh......" Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, and when she heard Daoist Ning say this, she could only insist.

Ning Yuhe pulled for a moment, let go of her wrist, hugged Mrs. Lu's leg again, and twisted her waist hard, and then Mrs. Lu made a "ah~" sound, her feet swayed in the air, and the tears in her eyes became more and more aggrieved, but she had to finish crying because of the hardships she was looking for......
