Chapter Eighty-Seven: Changqing

After breakfast, Yan Shizhen prepared medicines and gifts, brought the gifts that Yunshu prepared for Changqing, and brought several bottles of good wound medicine. I set off with a basket on my back.

"Father-in-law, it's okay to wrap these things in a baggage, why do you carry a basket?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Yan Shizhen said mysteriously.

"Father-in-law, we didn't know there was a breeze on the mountain before."

"This, my father-in-law knows, my father-in-law has a friend who is a Taoist priest in it, but I don't know if it's still there."

"Father-in-law's Taoist friend? Did my father-in-law practice before? ”

"I've read a few books."

"Is it interesting to cultivate the Tao?"

"Well, it varies from person to person."

"Father-in-law, I think it's good to come out!"

"Where's the good?"

"You can meet a lot of friends! Mei'er also has a Taoist friend now. ”

"You're a friend lover! Yes, such a free and easy temperament is very good! ”

"It was influenced by my father-in-law." Yunshu said sarcophantly.

"But let's say it, when we come back, you have to study medicine and martial arts, and don't play around like this anymore. It's a good time to work hard, and you can't squander it in vain. Yan Shizhen was used to being free and easy, but he had to make long-term plans for Yunshu.

"Mei'er listens to my father's teachings!"

Yan Shizhen nodded with satisfaction.

The mountain roads are rugged and the sun is warm. At first, there was talk and laughter, and as we walked, they fell silent. An hour later, it was already the limit of Yunshu, and she couldn't walk.

After resting, I thought it would be better, but after just a few steps, I immediately felt that my legs were heavy again. After saying that he wanted to go by himself, he could only grit his teeth and move forward.

Yan Shizhen saw her difficult appearance, put down the back basket, and took out the contents inside. "Mei'er, come here."

"Father-in-law." Yun Shu looked tired.

"Come to the basket, my father-in-law carries you on his back."

"Father-in-law, you deliberately carried the basket on your back, just knowing that I couldn't finish this mountain road?"

"Naturally, it's to carry you. I can't hold you today. ”

"Stepfather is so good!" Yunshu happily hugged Yan Shizhen's neck.

After walking for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at Qingfeng Temple. Although the Qingfeng Temple is in the mountains, the scale is not small.

Yan Shizhen saluted a Taoist priest who walked by, and said, "May I ask if Chunfeng is really here?" ”

The Taoist priest replied, "Chunfeng Zhenren, this time is probably in the Danfang." ”

Yun Shu stepped forward and saluted, "May I ask if the Changqing people are here?" ”

The Taoist priest couldn't help but laugh when he saw this handsome young man, but he drew a few marks on his face that looked like cat whiskers, and couldn't help laughing, "Changqing is not a real person." But since you two are looking for their master and apprentice, I'll take you there. ”

"Xie Zhenren!" Yan Shizhen saluted again.

Yun Shu also said: "Xie Zhenren! And so he bowed.

The Taoist priest only thought that this one big and one small were interesting. It's much more interesting than Chunfeng's master and apprentice.

Yan Shi said sincerely: Changqing turned out to be Chunfeng's apprentice, no wonder he has such good skills!

The Taoist priest led them across several courtyards and stopped at a place called "Santong Palace". "Chunfeng Zhenren is inside, please wait."

"Yes, real people."

"Yes, real people."

The Taoist priest walked in, and Yun Shu thought that he would come out with a real person with fluttering clothes and fairy wind bones. The real person in front of him surprised Yun Shu.

The body is slightly taller than that of his father-in-law, and his body is slightly chubby, but he feels very powerful, his thick eyebrows fly into his sideburns, and a pair of eyes under his eyebrows are very focused, and even the gaze is cast over, and he feels a little angular, and his cheeks have a healthy red. Yun Shu sighed in his heart: Sure enough, it was Chunfeng Zhenren, he walked all the way up, like bringing a mellow wind!

When Chunfeng Zhenren saw Yan Shizhen, he began to laugh from afar, and said in a loud voice: "Shizhen! I haven't seen you for many years, it's hard for you to still want to come to see me, an old friend! ”

"How can you not remember? It's just that I've been running around all these years, and it's rare to come here to see you. Yan Shizhen greeted him with a smile.

After Yun Shu finished observing Chunfeng Zhenren, he looked behind him again, but he didn't see Changqing. Blinking his eyes and full of inquiry, he looked at the Taoist priest who led the way just now.

The Taoist priest thought the child was interesting and quietly pointed behind him.

Yun Shu smiled gratefully and half-bowed to show his gratitude.

"Who is this child? Yours'? Chunfeng Zhenren saw Yun Shu probing behind Yan Shizhen and asked.

"It's from my family, call me my father." Yan Shizhen said proudly, "Mei'er, come and see Chunfeng Zhenren." ”

"Mei'er has seen Chunfeng Zhenren!" Yun Shu stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"This kid looks good, why don't you come under my door?"

Yan Shizhen laughed, "I've been adrift for half a lifetime, and it's easy to have a righteous son, and I want to become a monk with you?" Spare me! ”

"How good it is to become a monk! Hongchen is a lot of trouble! I think you'd better not leave, stay and practice! ”

Yan Shizhen smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Yun Shu said in his heart: This Chunfeng real person looks even more free and easy than his father-in-law! The people in this world are really diverse and interesting!

"Mei'er?"

Yunshu saluted again and said, "In the lower Yunshu, the little name is Meier." Chunfeng Zhenren has a profound humane law, please advise! ”

"It's a good look!" There is something special in Chunfeng's real voice.

"Chunfeng, you don't invite me in, just chatting here?" Yan Shizhen complained.

"Tsk, didn't I see you coming, overjoyed, didn't I remember it for a while? Come in, come in, come in! ”

The Taoist priest who led the way bowed and withdrew.

Yun Shu followed into a side pavilion in the Shentong Palace, but he didn't see Changqing. Yan Shizhen saw her probing her brain, so he said to Chunfeng Zhenren: "What about your apprentice?" ”

"Alchemy in the main hall! On a hot day, he was punished for alchemy in the Danfang, and I, the master, couldn't protect him, so I could only come to accompany him. ”

"Punished?"

"He went out yesterday and came back covered in blood, and he was also injured, and he was caught by the pedantic guys in the Discipline Hall, so that he could say bad things, so he came to alchemy on a hot day."

Yun Shu stepped forward and said: "Chunfeng Zhenren, Brother Changqing was injured in order to save me, Mei'er came to visit Brother Changqing today." ”

"What's going on?"

"This is a long story, why is Changqing your apprentice?" Yan Shizhen said.

"What you said, you have a cloud tree, why can't I have an apprentice?" Chunfeng Zhenren was dissatisfied.

Yan Shizhen smiled, "I mean, I saw Changqing very good yesterday, so it can be seen that you are well trained." When did you take the apprentice? ”

"Five or six years ago. I was depressed, and while traveling across the border, I met a group of real people chasing and killing two teenagers. I was angry, and I was saved. Another child insisted on looking for relatives, but Changqing was honest and silent and stayed with me. I am a Taoist priest who is a monk halfway, and Changqing followed me to become a monk. ”

"At the border, hunted down by the real country? Is Changqing a real countryman? ”

"Yes, but his mother is from Zhao."

"A boy hunted down? Changqing's life experience, there are some stories! ”

"Everyone has a story. Like me, like you, like this little doll. Chunfeng Zhenren glanced at Yunshu.

Yan Shi really understood, thinking of the residual poison on Changqing's body, it was not easy to think about his life experience. Turning back to Yun Shu, he said, "Mei'er, go find your benefactor, I'll talk to Daoist Chunfeng." ”

Yun Shu felt that Changqing's lonely and helpless life experience was somewhat similar to his own. He doesn't like to talk, is it because he grew up lonely? Will you be silent like this in the future? Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel more pity for Changqing.

Yunshu bowed and withdrew. Go around the verandah to the main hall.

In the middle of the main hall is a Dan furnace that is almost as tall as a cloud tree, if you don't count the furnace legs. In the hearth, the flames were blazing, and there was a small Dan furnace next to it, and several of them were also dyed with fire, which made the whole hall hot.

Yun Shu walked around the hall, but he didn't see anyone in the hall, and he was wondering where the people went, when a small Taoist priest in a dark blue robe, hugged a piece of wood, and walked in from the back hall.

Yun Shu looked into his eyes as deep as a pool of cold water at a glance, which were not at all like a young man's eyes, quiet, cold, and alienated, as if there were thousands of mountains ahead, no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't get close. In addition, the combination of thick eyebrows and high nose, thin lips, well-defined chin and jawbone is handsome, but it all shows a repulsive emotion.

Although it was already a scorching May, Yun Shu's whole person seemed to be frozen by his emotions, his mouth was half open, and the expression on his face seemed to be smiling and shocked. Looking at each other this time, Yun Shu was frightened a lot, but that look made her feel inexplicably distressed, as if she felt sorry for herself.

The moonlight was unknown last night, and Changqing's face was full of blood, Yun Shu couldn't see his face clearly, but the white cloth wrapped in his hands and the bloodstains on the cloth all showed that he was Changqing last night.

"Brother Changqing?" Yunshu said softly.

Changqing thought that he had seen too much of Yunshu's expression, but he didn't react, nodded, and walked to a small Dan furnace next to him, put down the wood, got up and walked under the west wall of the main hall.

There was a shelf, like a medicine cabinet for medicines in a pharmacy. Changqing took out two drawers, hugged them, and took out a small scale and other items from the table under the window before turning back.

Yun Shu was a little stunned by Changqing's ignorance. When he came back to his senses, he was about to follow, but Changqing came over with something in his arms, with his back to Yunshu, kneeling in front of the Dan furnace, fiddling with one hand, and the white cloth on the idle hand had been stained with blood.

"Brother Changqing, the wound has cracked. Shall I help you with a new bandage? Yunshu said cautiously.

Changqing looked at his hand, probably because he had just moved something hard and broke the wound open. And the concern in Yun Shu's eyes made him feel uncomfortable.

Changqing stopped the busyness in his hand and untied the strip of cloth wrapped in his hand. Yun Shu stepped forward and took out two small bottles and a ball of white cloth from his arms.

Uncork a bottle, pour a watery liquid out of it, and flush it over the wound.

Changqing's hand trembled, and he finally spoke, "What is this?" ”

"Soju, for cleaning wounds. It hurts a little, Brother Changqing endures it, and I finish cleaning it quickly. Yun Shu naturally remembered the pain of her father-in-law cleaning her wound, and as she spoke, she quickly tore off a strand of white cloth, formed a ball, and gently scrubbed the wound.

After washing off the bloodstains, open another small bottle and re-sprinkle it with white powder. After the blood coagulated, he wrapped Changqing's hand with a strip of cloth and wrapped it around many times. While wrapping, he explained, "Wrap a few more circles, when Brother Changqing takes something, he will feel the difference in the palm of his hand, and he will notice the injury on his hand." ”

Changqing glanced at Yun Shu, who was carefully helping him deal with his wounds, and said lightly, "Thank you." ”

"No, Brother Changqing was injured and punished to save me, and I did this, which is far from enough to repay Brother Changqing for saving his life."

Changqing really didn't fit in, others looked at him with such sincere and affectionate eyes.

"I deliberately lured the wolf here last night, and you stumbled into it by mistake, so I got you involved."

Yunshu's mouth widened in shock.
