Chapter 6: Duoduo is missing
March, the rainy season.
In the Minshu area, drizzle is frequent. It is sunny at night and sunny during the day; It was sunny during the day and sunny at night. Especially since March, there will be a burst of rain almost every day, and it makes people feel that even the cracks of the bones have a thick smell of dampness...... Zheng Yanqing walked out of the Thunder God Temple.
Last night, it rained lightly overnight, and the morning air was exceptionally fresh.
Standing in the Thunder God Temple, you can have a bird's-eye view of the clouds and mist in the mountains, as if you are in a fairyland. Not far away, azaleas are in full bloom and gorgeous. In the morning light, it is like a sea of rhododendrons.
After the Thunder God Temple has been rested, it has long since lost the sense of dilapidation it had when it first saw it.
Whitewashed gables, lacquered red lead eaves. There are statues of the god of thunder and the god of the dragon in the main hall, and there are three side halls next to it, namely the Nuwa Palace, the Fuxi Hall and the Guigu Palace. These halls were built by Zheng Yanqing and Duoduo.
The innocent has to heal on the mountain, but not in the temple.
And Zhao Xichen is also an idiot, and he often makes some strange movements. Ordinary temples and Taoist temples are reluctant to keep him, so they hide in the dilapidated Thunder God Temple. Zheng Yanqing thought about it and felt that since it was inconvenient to live in the temple, the surname Suo spent money to rebuild the Thunder God Temple, and along with Nuwa, Fuxi and Guiguzi, they also built the temple to enjoy the incense.
Originally, a Taoist temple was built, and the incense would be very vigorous.
But the god of thunder and the god of the dragon are both gods in charge of wind and rain, and in the Minshu region, the most important thing is rain.
This is also one of the reasons why the Thunder God Temple was dilapidated in the first place. People like to go far and far, or unload the mill and kill the donkey. There are no useful gods, they are not interested. So even after the Thunder God Temple was rebuilt, it still seemed very quiet. It is exactly what Zheng Yanqing thinks.
Sun Simiao also moved to the Thunder God Temple.
On the one hand, he cured the disease, and on the other hand, he discussed alchemy with Zhao Xichen.
He was also a monastic, although his earlier words touched him. But after the shock subsided, he quickly returned to normal. After all, not everyone is a staunch atheist like Zheng Yanqing. Moreover, even Zheng Yanqing himself didn't dare to say the truth and didn't believe in the gods. Perhaps before he was born again, he didn't believe it; But after being born again...... However, Yanqing was more inclined to accept the Confucianism of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
After Sun Simiao moved in, he carefully inspected Wuji.
Speaking of which, this kind of qi disease brought out of the mother's womb is indeed a stubborn disease. However, through the suggested stethoscope made by Zheng Yanqing, Sun Simiao can understand the breathing status of the unsullied lungs in more detail. So after the diagnosis, he devised a treatment plan.
is different from what Zheng Yanqing knows, and uses drugs when he gets started.
According to Sun Simiao's statement: Eating acupuncture and alcohol medicine, medication is a last resort, and he will not use medicine unless he has to.
In the words, there are some truths that Zheng Yanqing is familiar with: it is a medicine that is poisonous.
At the same time, she changed her living habits, and adjusted her breathing, physiology, body and other aspects to achieve the result of radical cure.
It's going to take a long time, and it's not going to happen overnight.
When he had nothing to do, Sun Simiao would take Zheng Yanqing to wander between Emei Mountains and teach him some basic pharmacology and medical science.
Why do you want to give these to Zheng Yanqing?
Sun Simiao himself couldn't understand, anyway, he always felt that there was no harm in knowing more things.
And walking in the mountains is a very lonely thing. Zhao Xichen was obsessed with alchemy and was unwilling to join him; Those monks, although they have a good relationship, after all, it involves the difference between Buddhism and Taoism, so Sun Simiao doesn't want to travel with those talkative monks. Now that there is a Zheng Yanqing by his side, there is one more person who can speak, and he will naturally not let it go.
A year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Wuji's condition has also improved greatly.
His face was flushed, and he looked like an apple that was about to be ripe. When I laughed, it was also very loud, no longer like before, like a bellows in my lungs. The beautiful scenery of Emei Mountain, under the influence of the atmosphere of Buddhism and Taoism, has been calm, so that after going up the mountain, there has never been a disease. Mrs. Gao saw that Wuji's condition had improved a lot, and she began to miss her son again.
So not long ago, he went down the mountain with Pei Xingyan and returned to Luoyang.
Before leaving, Mrs. Gao entrusted the innocent to Zheng Yanqing.
In fact, this is also Changsun Sheng's last wish. Of course, Mrs. Gao can see that Pei Cuiyun and Duoduo seem to like Yanqing very much.
However, she prefers to let her daughter and Yanqing be closer.
"Yanqing, Wuzhi is entrusted to you...... When I return to Luoyang this time, it is estimated that it will take some time before I can come back. ”
Zheng Yanqing replied solemnly: "Madame, just rest assured, Wujian is very good here, and Sun Zhenren and I will take good care of her." ”
To tell the truth, Wuji is now ten years old, but his surname is as delicate as a few years ago.
Whether it is Yanqing or Pei Cuiyun or Duoduo, they take great care of her.
Mrs. Gao left with confidence. Being a parent is indeed a hard job. Guarding his daughter and thinking about his son, when guarding his son, he will miss his daughter again. If it weren't for Wuji's condition that had just improved, Mrs. Gao might have to take her back to Luoyang with her.
In front of the Thunder God Temple, there is an extremely empty flat land.
Xiong Dahai stood on the flat ground, bare-chested, and was practicing against the rising sun.
The equipment he used to practice was very interesting. It is a solid iron ball of fifty pounds. The iron ball rolled along his hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and back, as if it was attached to Xiong Dahai's body, but the bones did not fall. As the iron ball rolled, the muscles on Xionghai's body obviously fluctuated non-stop. And with a long breath, sweating profusely on his forehead.
This is Sun Simiao's original hybrid ball.
said that he didn't know martial arts, but Sun Simiao could easily knock Xiong Dahai down.
said that he was proficient in martial arts, but he really didn't understand...... Sun Simiao's skills are completely derived from the health preservation technique and the five poultry plays. After coming to Emei Mountain, he walked in the mountains all year round, and he created an extremely unique set of practice methods on his own.
The rolling of the mixed element ball implies the principle of Taoist health preservation.
Xiong Dahai comprehends the method of turning strength into strength through the power generated by the rolling of the mixed element ball.
For a year, he practiced the Mixed Yuan Ball every time. From the size of a fist at the beginning, to the large iron ball that has to be specially forged now, it has entered the country for thousands of miles.
Of course, Zheng Yanqing was also happy.
The more powerful Xionghai's ability is, the more valuable he will be in the future.
At the same time, under the guidance of Sun Simiao, Yan Qing systematically learned the five bird operas, and often communicated with the monks of Emei Mountain, and his martial arts also made great progress.
At least, his strength has increased a lot.
The cross knife is already a little light, and when you use it, you can't hold it down.
According to Sun Simiao's speculation, if Yan Qing uses a knife, he will need at least thirty catties to take advantage of it...... If you use a horse lance, it should be about 60 to 80 catties. Therefore, the standard horse lance can no longer be used. However, if you want to create a horse lance, you can't recruit a suitable lance master. Yan Qing heard Yan Hu's name again from Sun Simiao's mouth, and felt so aggrieved in his heart.
"Sun Zhenren, do you know that everyone is full of misfortunes?"
On the way into the mountains to collect medicine, Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but ask.
Sun Simiao replied: "It is rumored outside that Yanhu suffered revenge from the enemy, so that he was killed all over the house.
But as far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to be the case......"
He looked around, and then remembered that this was in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains, so he said in a low voice: "I heard that Yanhu seems to have been implicated in something, so that the court took action...... However, the court is not targeting Yan Hu, it seems to be Yan Hu's brother-in-law. I've only heard about these things, and as for the more detailed inside story, I guess only some powerful people in the court, such as your teacher, probably know. ”
It is indeed possible that Changsun Sheng knows!
But he's dead...... Zheng Yanqing had no choice but to dispel the idea of asking again, but he was even more curious about his father's origin.
Xiong Dahai practiced the mixed element ball, and from time to time, from his mouth, let out the sound of a cow's roar.
His face flushed, and the iron ball rolled slowly on top of him. Suddenly forward, suddenly backward...... It's like having a life, and it's very interesting.
Yan Qing is very envious of Xiong Dahai's kung fu.
This guy has been practicing the mixed yuan ball for a year, and the progress is obvious, which is simply staggering.
Zheng Yanqing felt that he had practiced Wufowl Opera and health preservation techniques for so many years, and it seemed that he could not compare to Xionghai's kung fu for a year. It's just that this kung fu has a drawback: you can't drink alcohol, you can't eat meat, and you can't get a woman's sex. In other words, this mixed yuan ball is a child's skill.
In Sun Simiao's words: "If the sea wants to practice the mixed yuan ball to the extreme, it will not be possible to achieve it in ten years."
Ten years later, the 100-pound iron ball rolls freely, and Yuanyang is stable, which can be regarded as a great achievement. But for ten years, he had to practice like an ascetic. ”
"That Yuanyang is stable, what realm is it?"
"It's almost empty."
Sun Simiao smiled and said: "You can't do it, although you practice five poultry opera and health preservation techniques, but this foundation is not as good as the sea."
His plate was born to be the material for practicing mixed yuan balls. Ten years, as long as he survives ten years, I believe that there will be few people in the world who can compete with him. His surname is straightforward, and his mind is simple...... If it were you, if you didn't get the idea around, you would lose your surname in one breath. ”
Zheng Yanqing just asked.
I don't eat meat for ten years, and I don't get close to wine for ten years...... He admits that he can't do that.
Anyway, he has practiced health preservation techniques and five poultry plays, even if he can't compare to the sea, at least he can have the power of self-preservation.
Therefore, Yanqing is very content.
It's just that every time I see Xionghai practicing, I can't help but feel a little envious.
"Roar!"
With a bull's roar, the iron ball rolled into his hand.
"Big brother."
He smiled and placed the ball in the corner of the steps, then stepped forward. This guy is getting bigger.
Standing in front of Zheng Yanqing, you need to tilt your neck to speak.
It's like a hill, but it's flexible. Zheng Yanqing rubbed his cheeks, "The sea, go take a bath and have breakfast." ”
"Yes!"
Xiong Dahai jumped up the stairs and followed the corridor, ready to leave.
At this moment, he only heard a loud bang in the side hall, Yan Qing hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw billowing black smoke coming out of the side hall, and the smell was extremely pungent.
"Zhao Zhenren!"
Yan Qing hurriedly ran over, and saw Zhao Xichen stumbling out.
"Yanqing, your method doesn't seem right."
It turned out that when Zheng Yanqing observed Zhao Xichen's alchemy, he was surprised to find that his pill recipe seemed to be very similar to the legendary gunpowder.
The method adopted by Zhao Xichen is quite similar to the fire rock method in alchemy.
It is to grind sulfur and saltpeter into powder, and then add aristolochia and smelt it in the furnace. Aristolochia, which contains carbon, is mixed together to form the formula of gunpowder. However, the proportions between each other have not yet been properly matched, so that every time the alchemy is alchemy, it will cause the danger of the fryer. Fortunately, Zhao Xichen is also experienced, and in the experiments, he explored the specific proportion.
Yan Qing knew the composition of gunpowder, but the specific proportion was not very clear.
However, he often made some suggestions to Zhao Xichen's prescription. Sometimes it succeeds, but most of the time, it fails.
If Zhao Xichen can really make gunpowder...... Yan Qing more than once, in the heart of the silver.
A few times, he even wanted to tinker with Zhao Xichen. But considering the dangerous consequences, Yan Qing finally held back. Leave professional things to professional people. He just needs to provide as much convenience as possible, such as materials and stuff.
Zhao Xichen took a notebook and hurriedly wrote a few strokes on it.
"Hehe, I don't believe it, I can't practice Jindan."
After saying hello to Zheng Yanqing, Zhao Xichen left in a hurry.
Xiong Dahai couldn't help but shudder, and whispered behind Zheng Yanqing: "Big brother, this Zhao madman...... I'm starting to go crazy again. ”
"Well, if you are disobedient, I will let you accompany him to alchemy in the future."
Xiong Dahai's face changed suddenly, and he shook his head again and again: "Big brother, I have always listened to you...... I'm going to take a shower and eat. ”
Stumbled and fled rather embarrassed.
I only saw Zheng Yanqing, laughing non-stop in the back.
"Brother Yanqing, you're bullying Brother Dahai again......"
A delicate voice came, but I saw a young girl walking out of the corner of the corridor.
She was dressed in a Taoist robe, and the wide Taoist robe was covered in the thin suburbs, revealing a bit of moving color. It's just a little younger, but it's a beautiful embryo.
"Innocent, why do you say that about me?"
The girl was innocent, and said with a smile: "Just now I saw Brother Dahai running over in a panic, you must have bullied him." ”
"I bullied him?"
Yan Qing shook his head with a smile and said, "I didn't bully him, I just told him that if he was disobedient, let him follow Zhao Zhenren to alchemy." ”
"Isn't that bullying?"
The innocent and delicate rise of the small mouth, a look of unhappiness.
Actually, she wasn't really unhappy.
It's just that Xiong Dahai Pingli is very good to her, and even obeys his words, but he can't bear to see his embarrassed appearance.
Zheng Yanqing walked over and gently pinched her flushed face.
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Well, I've eaten it...... Sun Zhenren asked me to come to you, saying that Sister Cuiyun sent someone to come, as if something had happened. ”
Zheng Yanqing said: "Then let's go over." ”
He took the innocent little hand and walked towards the side hall.
As he walked, he wondered in his heart: Cuiyun sent someone over for no reason?
When he came to the side hall, he saw a young man standing in the temple.
This person's name is Xu Xingbo, and he is from Qiantang Yuhang. To be precise, he is Duoduo's cousin, Duoduo's mother, and Mrs. Xu's nephew. In the second year of the great cause, Xu Xingbo was ordered by the husky to come to Rongle City. He is also one of the few cronies in Rongle City Grange.
Seeing Zheng Yanqing, Xu Xingbo hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Brother Xu doesn't have to be polite." Zheng Yanqing stretched out his hand to support him, "What's the matter with Cuiyun?" I want you to come to the mountain in such a hurry. ”
According to the custom, on the fifteenth day of each month, Zheng Yanqing will return to Rongle City and live for about ten days.
If you calculate the time, I'm going back this month. But Pei Cuiyun sent Xu Xingbo up the mountain at this time, presumably because of an emergency.
Xu Xingbo described being a little anxious.
He hurriedly said: "Zheng Gongzi, Duoduo is gone!" ”
