Chapter 8: The Weakness of Men
The woman sat in the corner of the black hole, looked at the candle, got up with a small package on her back, and came to the Buddha statue:
"Concubine Zhong Jiu, I used to walk around in Zhuzhou, huh...... Jianghu Langzhong, helping to treat a disease or something, just went to the capital and is rushing back. Look at the son with weapons, and he is also a Jianghu person? ”
Xu Buling was slightly surprised, raised his hand and hugged his fist: "Under Xu Shan, the people of the rivers and lakes sent the mixed number 'Eagle Finger Sanren', who used to walk around in Chang'an, and this time he went out to travel, and just walked here." I didn't expect the girl to be a man. ”
The woman who called herself 'Zhong Jiu' pursed her lips and smiled gently: "I haven't heard of the name of Gongzi, but I'm really lonely." ”
The nightingale saw that his son-in-law was blindly reporting to the family, and he also learned from him:
"...... in the next night"
Smack—
The folding fan tapped on the nightingale's head.
Xu Buling's face was strange, and his image as a righteous gentleman was almost not maintained.
Zhong Jiu's concentration is good, but the big sleeves of the water blue cover his red lips and chuckled, and his eyebrows and eyes are crooked:
"My little sister is so beautiful."
The nightingale nodded very seriously, and then said:
"Sister Zhong is more beautiful."
Xu Buling chuckled: "Since the girl is from the rivers and lakes, she naturally has some knowledge, and she dares to walk outside alone with such outstanding appearance, and she has a lot of skills." ”
Zhong Jiu did not deny it, and his eyes showed a little modesty: "Walking the rivers and lakes depends on ability, although I am Langzhong, I can kill people if I can save people, and there are still some means of self-defense." ”
Xu Buling was skeptical, and the nightingale was also unconvinced, so he asked:
"My sister is very good at martial arts?"
"General. The rivers and lakes pay more attention to human feelings and sophistication, and high martial arts are indeed important, but those who can eat well on the rivers and lakes are all exquisite human spirits, just like the nearby Wudang Mountain, Chen Daozi cultivates on the mountain every day, and the people who walk around in all directions are the third uncle Chen Daoning, who will not be able to do martial arts at all, and the weight of a sentence is not much worse than Chen Daozi. ”
Xu Buling nodded lightly, feeling that this was very reasonable, even in the temple, it was not the ten thousand enemies in the military array that determined the direction of the whole world, no matter how high the martial arts were, a lonely person who was separated from morality could set off any storms in the world.
"The girl's realm is quite high, and she has been taught."
"There, just talk about it."
Zhong Jiu sat down slightly, his eyes suddenly stayed on Xu Buling's face, looked at it slightly, and frowned slightly:
"Childe...... Poisoned? ”
Xu Buling was stunned, he didn't expect this woman's eyesight to be so vicious, there were still some imperceptible lock dragon Gu left on his body, which was specially left to bully the baby, and he couldn't feel it if he didn't pay attention, but he didn't expect this woman to find it at a glance.
"I've been poisoned before, but it's been unraveled, so it's harmless."
Zhong Jiu's expression was slightly serious, and he looked like a doctor seeing a terminally ill patient, and he got a little closer:
"Can you let the concubine show the pulse to the son?"
Xu Buling saw that the other party had some kindness after all, so he stretched out his hand.
Zhong Jiu's slender fingers pressed on Xu Buling's wrist through the robe, and after a moment's perception, his face became more and more solemn:
"The one in Childe is the Lock Dragon Gu that has long been lost?"
Xu Buling didn't expect her to really be able to see it, and thought about it slightly:
"That's right, it was untied a few days ago."
Zhong Jiu shook his head: "The Lock Dragon Gu is extremely domineering, and none of the people in history who have been in the Gu can completely unravel it. Although Childe didn't know how to solve most of it, there were still some residues in his body, which were difficult to get rid of, and even if he removed the Gu poison, there were big hidden dangers. ”
“……?”
Xu Buling was tortured by the Lock Dragon Gu, and he was half-convinced:
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhong Jiu's face was extremely solemn: "This is like ink on a white cloth, if you want to wash it, it must be fast at the beginning, but at the end of washing, there will always be some leftovers, even if people can't see it, the white cloth is still difficult to recover as before." Childe's poisoning continues, and he has injured his inside, and after detoxification, he can still warm his body with a secret method, otherwise he won't see anything unusual in a short time, and when he reaches middle age, he will 'run through the muscles, and the yang will not move', etc., and the future will be ......endless."
!!!
Don't lift ......
Xu Buling sat up a little straighter, after all, this is a matter of lifelong happiness for the baby and his aunt, in line with the attitude of 'following the doctor's instructions' and 'rather believing it than not', he said softly:
"Well, that makes sense...... Does the girl have a way to raise herself? ”
Zhong Jiu looked at Xu Buling a few times, and stopped talking, looking embarrassed:
"A doctor should hang a pot to help the world, and I can't see death without saving, but I am a Jianghu person after all, and some things taught by the teacher cannot be passed on, not because I don't want to save my son...... Alas, look at the son is good, can you be interested in medical skills? ”
Xu Buling blinked: "What does the girl mean?" ”
Zhong Jiu's face showed a little sadness, and he sighed softly: "In recent years, the only person who has locked the dragon Gu is the prince of King Su, and the son is also surnamed Xu, and looking at the appearance, it is not difficult to think of who the son is." The concubine is just a Langzhong who walks the rivers and lakes, but she is also determined to save the people of the world from stubborn diseases. If the prince is willing to practice medicine, the concubine can teach the son, so that the son can not only teach the secret method to detoxify the son, but also benefit the people in the future......"
Xu Buling was a little inexplicable, looked at the woman he met for the first time, and thought for a while:
"It's a big deal to learn from a teacher, I just met the girl, and I said that this is too hasty, and it's not very convenient here. Otherwise, the girl will go to Danjiangkou with me, and discuss it carefully on the boat, and by the way, I can also treat the girl well and fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”
Zhong Jiu was naturally not in a hurry: "The concubine is already running the rivers and lakes, and the identity of the son is noble, if you don't mind, it doesn't hurt to follow the concubine to take a look." ”
Xu Buling nodded lightly, although he was very confident in his body, but he didn't know how to heal, he was really a little uneasy when Zhong Jiu said something, if Zhong Jiu told the truth, he would change from 'invincible in the world' to 'undefeated in the East'......
Zhong Jiu was very satisfied with Xu Buling's reaction, and comforted him at the moment:
"Childe doesn't need to worry, as long as the concubine is here, Childe will be safe and sound, and he can continue to travel with peace of mind."
"Then it's bothering the girl."
Zhong Jiu thought for a while, and said: "If you go to Danjiangkou, you just happened to pass by Jinsi Gorge, and the master of Wudang Killing God Chen Daozi, Qingxu Old Immortal, has the son seen it?" ”
The nightingale sat in front of Xu Buling with her knees crossed, and no longer despised Zhong Jiu, and responded:
"The head of Wudang Mountain, the rivers and lakes are very senior, and the rumors in the rivers and lakes have been feathered and soared, and they haven't shown up for many years, do the seniors know?"
Zhong Jiu smiled gently, looking like an elder: "I know him, I know that his old man is cultivating near Jinsi Gorge, if the son wants to see him, I can guide the way." ”
When Xu Buling heard this, his eyes really showed a little surprise - characters like the old master of Yuelu Mountain, the national teacher of Northern Qi, and the old master of Wudang Mountain are basically half-immortals, not to mention that ordinary people have never heard of it, and it is not easy for people who can help guide the way.
"If the girl can really lead the way, such a worldly master will naturally come to visit."
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, just drop by, I'll take you over tomorrow, but if he refuses to see the old man, I can't help it."
"That's nature, how can a true immortal be so good."
After a few casual conversations, the night was already dark.
Zhong Jiu didn't get too close, got up and walked back to the corner of the broken temple and closed his eyes to rest.
Xu Buling and the nightingale naturally did not bother, leaning under the Buddha statue and closing their eyes and concentrating. I have doubts about whether Zhong Jiu's words are true or false, but if I can really take him to find the old master of Wudang Mountain tomorrow, then this woman may really have something......
