Chapter 6 Kyoto
Jin Yuanzi thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind and said: "You have been in Yuqingguan for five years, and originally wanted to pass on the position of the master to you, but unfortunately you are not a cultivator, so the teacher decided to give you this spear head and a piece of fine iron, and you will go down the mountain tomorrow." ”
Cao Ming's heart has already been prepared: "Thanks to Master's perennial cultivation, the apprentice has nothing to repay in this life, and the apprentice is not not dedicated to the Tao, but he can't let go of his mother at home." ”
Jin Yuanzi handed over two things to Cao Ming, and then left the cave alone, although Cao Ming's heart was very reluctant, but he couldn't stay in the Taoist temple for a lifetime, after all, the world is so big, I have to go and see it.
Cao Ming set off early the next morning, and the Taoist priest in the temple heard that Cao Ming was leaving, and spontaneously formed a send-off team, and some even cried and wiped their tears, which made Cao Ming very embarrassed.
Ma Qiu snorted and said with tears: "Senior sister, why do you say that you are leaving, I will never hear the story in the future, what is the point of my life if I can't hear your story!" ”
Cao Ming really wants to shave his ears and fan it, don't I just go home to live, why do you make it like I died, and you are sixteen years old this year, but you cry like a child, I don't know, I still think you are Liu Xuande.
Jin Yuanzi couldn't stand it anymore: "Look at your current appearance, one by one is the same as a funeral, your junior sister is still alive, it's really rotten wood that can't be carved!" ”
Jin Yuanzi then took out a small package and said: "This is the pill you take on weekdays, now the master gives you half a year's dosage and prescription, although you can't live forever if you take it for a long time, but it is still possible to prolong life and keep your youth, you see that the master is already too old, but it looks like a person who is less than half a hundred, which is the credit of this magic pill." ”
Jin Yuanzi's words were like stones falling into the water, the Taoist priests present were all amazed, and even Cao Ming, who left the Taoist temple immediately, was stupid, this Jin Yuanzi looked like he was in his early fifties, but his actual age was already over seventy years old, it seems that the ancestors' health regimen is really not blown.
"Ming'er is going down the mountain, and I hope the master will take care of his body." Cao Ming saw that everyone's eyes were on Jin Yuanzi, and knew that Jin Yuanzi was creating opportunities for himself, if he was really entangled by these senior brothers, he wouldn't be able to get out.
By the time the Taoist priests remembered Cao Ming, Cao Ming had been out of the gate for a long time, and the Taoist priests understood Jin Yuanzi's true intentions, this Jiang was really old and spicy.
"Drive!" On the official road, Cao Ming wore a robe and rode a horse, attracting some passers-by to pay attention from time to time, and this was the first time I saw this beautiful woman.
Cao Ming has been most interested in horseback riding in the past five years, in modern times, everyone travels by car, and horseback riding is just a matter of thinking, because horses are not allowed to go on the road.
The speed of the horse is still far faster than the speed of a person, and it took Cao Ming less than two days to return home, after more than five years of wind and rain, the stone tile house has left traces of time.
As soon as Cao Ming walked to the door, he found something strange, the original livestock were gone, but the smoke from the house proved that there were still people living in it, so Chai Yu sold all the livestock.
"Who are you?" A white-haired old woman walked out with a bowl on her face, still with a slightly guarded look on her face.
Cao Ming said with a smile: "Grandma, I am Chai Yu's daughter, this room was originally my mother's, I don't know if she is still here?" ”
"Ming'er?" There was another woman in the house, needless to say that it was Cao Ming's mother-in-law Chai Yu, but unfortunately Chai Yu was already faltering when she walked at this time, and she looked like a seriously ill person.
The white-haired old woman hurriedly helped Chai Yu and persuaded: "Big sister, you have to be careful of your body, Lang Zhong said that you can't move around at will, remember to take medicine on time." ”
After the white-haired old woman left, Cao Ming directly hugged Chai Yu to the bed, Chai Yu's body was extremely gentle, coupled with a criminal face, I wonder if there is a man in the world who doesn't love it.
Cao Ming personally fed Chai Yu water, and then said with a smile: "Mother! I have Master's elixir here, as long as you eat it, it will be fine, and I will feed it to you now. ”
Chai Yu touched Cao Ming's face and said: "No need, my mother's illness is caused by a long-term heart disease, if the medicine can be cured, I would have cured it a long time ago, I didn't expect that I wouldn't see Ming'er become a big girl for five years, and I will definitely be able to marry a big hero in the future." ”
Cao Ming's eyes were red and said: "Mother, I don't want to marry any heroes, didn't your heroes also abandon you, in my opinion, heroes are unreliable." ”
Chai Yu sighed and said: "I know that I can't hide this from you, but this matter should not be wished to your father, it was your mother who voluntarily left your father, and her mother's background is too humble and low, even if she is a partial house, she is not qualified." ”
Cao Ming saw that Chai Yu's life was not long, although Chai Yu had only been his mother for a year, but he had already regarded him as a close relative, and this feeling of seeing his loved one terminally ill was still very uncomfortable.
Chai Yu suddenly smiled and said: "Forget it, don't mention these things about Chen sesame and rotten grain, in the five years you went out to study art, your mother made a dress for you, you go and put it on for your mother to see." ”
Cao Ming hurriedly agreed to Chai Yu's request, although she was very resistant to women's clothing, but in order for Chai Yu to be happy, she dared to jump even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of her.
Because Cao Ming didn't know how to wear Hanfu at all, there were a lot of jokes for a while, but with the guidance of Chai Yu, the teacher, Cao Ming finally got dressed.
Chai Yu held up her illness and tied Cao Ming's hair, and then thought about it and said: "Ming'er has reached the age of Jilu, so I'll give you a word for my mother, my mother's knowledge is not high, but my mother can tell the truth when she sees you at a young age, and you will be fragrant in the future." ”
"Yuxiang has written it down!" Cao Ming wrote down the words that Chai Yu gave herself, and the word Yuxiang sounded really good, and it had some charm of ancient poetry.
If it weren't for the fact that he could see Cao Ming once before he died, Chai Yu would have been dead for a long time, and people can live all by relying on a belief to persist until now, and now that the wish has been realized, people's beliefs have completely dissipated.
What Cao Ming didn't expect was that Chai Yu's life only lasted two days, and two days later Chai Yu died in Cao Ming's arms.
Because Cao Ming didn't understand the custom of burying people, he could only ask the elders in the village to help with the work, until he saw Chai Yu's body being buried, and his hanging heart was completely put down.
However, before his death, Chai Yu once instructed Cao Ming that he must go to Kyoto to find his father.
Before leaving the village, Cao Ming left the house to the white-haired old woman, and he took Chai Yu's relics to Kyoto, because Chai Yu didn't say what his father's name was, so Cao Ming had to go to Kyoto to inquire again.
After a few days of hurrying, Cao Ming came to the ancient capital of Luoyang City, although the current Luoyang City is much smaller than the city of later generations, but now it is one of the best megacities, which can be seen from the height of the city wall.
When Cao Ming first entered the city, he found that something was wrong, how could there be other armies in Luoyang City, could it be that the Xiliang Army in history had already controlled Luoyang.
"Stop, what are you doing!" Several Xiliang soldiers guarding the door stopped Cao Ming, Cao Ming thought that more things were better than less, so he didn't plan to follow the two of them.
Cao Ming jumped off the horse, then took out a piece of silver and said: "The little girl is here to visit relatives, whether you have to pay this when you enter the city, if you don't need it, please let me go." ”
A Xiliang soldier smiled strangely and said, "Go in? I'm afraid your money is not enough, and what is in your baggage, open it and let the master take a few looks! ”
Cao Ming said with a smile: "These are some women's underwear, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the military master to check it, and I hope the military master can let me go." ”
Another Xiliang soldier also coaxed: "My brother is right, since you really want to go into the city to find relatives, then we can make it convenient, but you have to talk to your grandfather!" ”
Cao Ming really wanted to kill them with two punches, but this is someone's territory, and he will definitely be outnumbered by then, so it seems that he can only give two more money to enter the city.
"What are you guys doing?" I saw a young general with a golden crown on his head, wearing a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, and an extraordinary aura walking in on horseback, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand emitted bursts of cold air.
Cao Ming decisively led the horse and took a few steps back to get out of the way, only Lu Bu could dress like this in the Three Kingdoms, although he didn't know what Lu Bu's strength was, but just by looking at the weight of the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, he knew that it was extraordinary.
Lu Bu stared at Cao Ming for a long time, and then smiled: "There must be a first-come-first-served distinction when entering the city, since the girl arrived at the city gate before me, it should be the girl who went to the city first." ”
Cao Ming's eyes rolled, so he said: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, but these two military masters don't want me to enter the city, and they also said that if you want to enter the city, you have to have fun with them." ”
Lu Bu had already guessed the probable idea in his heart, and said angrily at the moment: "Someone! Drag these two corrupt people down, give General Ben a hundred sticks, and whoever dares to harass the common people in the future will be beheaded! ”
Cao Ming jumped on the horse and thanked him: "Today, General Lao is helping, and the little woman has something important to do, so she can only thank the general another day, drive!" ”
"Wait, in Xia Lu Bu, I don't know the girl" Lu Bu wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about Cao Ming's name, but Cao Ming ran three points faster than the wind, and others thought it was a funeral.
Cao Ming saw that Lu Bu didn't catch up, and thought to herself that this Lu Bu still knew a little etiquette, and was not as rude as his subordinates, but no matter how she looked at it, she was a minor, how could this ancient person like to eat tender grass, and wouldn't a mature woman have more charm.
After thinking about it, Cao Ming came to an iron shop, and now the most important thing is to have a weapon at hand, so that his strength can also be brought into play.
