Chapter 18: Escape from Death

With the clouds healed slightly, Sangchen said goodbye to Chang'an, and the king gave him a thousand gold, Mr. excused himself, and the philosopher persuaded him that the gold silk was not for reward, but only slightly to help the line, and the poor and sick people in the world were all good, and Mr. was good at saving him-

History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties: The Biography of Jiang Suiyun

What is it like to escape from death, this is probably only experienced by those who have experienced it, so when I opened my eyes, although I felt numb all over my body, and my heart was in severe pain, I still couldn't help but show a faint smile, and it was difficult to move my limbs, and it was a burst of pain, and I was more sure that I was still alive in the world, not to the underworld, I moaned, and the hoarse voice just overflowed from my lips, and someone had already come to pick up the brocade tent on the bed, and I looked carefully, it was a forty-year-old imperial doctor, and I barely showed a smile, He turned around in surprise and shouted, "Master Jiang has woken up, go and inform Mr. Sang." Then there was the sound of steady footsteps, and then I saw that familiar face.

Although I haven't seen him for many years, Mr. Sang's appearance has not changed much, his beard is gray, his appearance is thin, and his eyes always have that kind of focus and ruthlessness, yes, ruthless, Mr. Sang is a miracle doctor who rejuvenates in the mouth of the world, and often works tirelessly to treat the poor, but his heart is a cold and ruthless person, which I knew back then. In his eyes, the patient is just a man and woman with a vague face, and he is of course attentive when he treats the patient, and he is well aware of the patient's changes in condition and mood fluctuations, but if the patient is healed afterwards, then he is a stranger to him, and if the patient dies unfortunately, he will never be sad and sad. Perhaps, in Mr. Sang's eyes, there is only the division between the sick and the healthy, and for him, the patient is just a tool used to verify his medical skills, and if there is anyone who makes an exception, it is probably me.

I remember the first time we met, my father begged him to heal, he only glanced at it and said that his father's illness was rooted in the bones, even if it was cured for only a few years, my father was a little disappointed, and even had no intention of no longer healing, I said to my father: 'A few years are short for ordinary people, but it is very important for our father and son, the child is still young, if there is no father to take care of it, it is inevitable to be displaced, if the father is not able to afford it, how can he rest assured that the child will live in the future, it is better for the father and son to depend on each other, for a few more years, if the father is in pain, Naturally, the son did not dare to force his father, but as long as the child took care of him, the father should not suffer much. ‘

My father, who had only been discouraged for a while, saw that I was earnest, so he sought medical attention again, but Mr. Sang listened to me, and said lightly: 'This child is also sensible. I have heard him say that he has no ambition to practice medicine to help the world, and that practicing medicine is just a means of livelihood for him, although he said so indifferently and ruthlessly, but I like him to be so straightforward, and Mr. Sang does not see the patient in his eyes, but fortunately he is usually silent, if it is known that the world thinks of the Xinglin medical saint such a mind, I am afraid that I will be shocked.

When I saw Mr. Sang, I couldn't help but cry, this is the only elder in this world. Mr. Sang understood my thoughts, came over to check my pulse, and said lightly: "Suiyun, your injuries are no longer serious, these words, you have taken a lot of valuable tonics, although you have saved your life, but it is inevitable that some vitality is too strong, these words, you first slowly recuperate, and I will treat you carefully after your injuries are healed." ‘

I looked at Mr. Sang with inquiring eyes, he smiled slightly and said: "Are you asking His Royal Highness King Yong and the kid who has been using his true qi to continue his life for you, King Yong has been too tired since these days, I have asked him to go back to rest, it is said that His Royal Highness has fallen asleep, and he has not woken up yet, your entourage is indeed loyal, but I saw that his internal strength was too consumed, and he refused to rest, so I used a dose of medicine and let him go to rest obediently, and when he woke up, it was a good time to break and stand up, and I would supervise him to retreat and practice, Your kid is congenitally insufficient, and he won't have much success in practicing martial arts, he is a genius in practicing martial arts, although his martial arts are indeed exquisite, but he is still talented to practice to this extent, my martial arts have not been passed on, it is better to teach him, you are half of my disciple, he is loyal to you, and it is the same to teach him. ‘

I can't help but be overjoyed, although I don't know the depth of Mr. Sang's martial arts, but I can see from his tone that it should be extraordinary. After thinking about it, I remembered that King Yong must have been very tired, otherwise how could he not wake up, I couldn't help but be a little anxious, and hurriedly held Mr. Sang's hand and wrote the word 'Wang' in his palm. Mr. Sang smiled slightly and said, "It's rare for His Highness to be so kind to you, I've already gone to see him, don't worry." ‘

I was relieved when a maid brought me a bowl of medicine and carefully served me. After taking the medicine, I felt sleepy again, so I fell asleep again, and so on and so on, I spent time between sleep and medicine, until seven days later, I did not have to drink the added decoction, and I was finally able to lie awake in bed.

I touched my stiff legs, I wanted to get out of bed and walk around, but I was stopped by Mr. Sang, Xiao Shunzi wanted to come to serve me, but who knew that Mr. Sang said, "There are so many martial arts masters in the world, do you still want your son-in-law to be injured like this?" It seems that Mr. Sang's internal strength is very different from Xiao Shunzi, but Mr. Sang's research in martial arts is not comparable to Xiao Shunzi, so my ears are also a lot clearer, at least no one is making a fuss with me. King Yong and Princess took Roulan to see me once, and then Mr. Sang forbade me to come to see me, saying that he wanted me to cultivate well, so as not to worry about things outside. Since then, King Yong has not come over again except for sending people to greet him, and I heard Mr. Sang say that it seems that King Yong is personally rectifying the defense of the palace, because the previous defense is inevitably a little too many loopholes for the masters of the rivers and lakes. Although the rest is beneficial to my body, but it is also too depressing, even my favorite books will not let me touch it, Mr. Sang only took a few pure Taoist scriptures to show me, saying that it makes me calm down, but it is also quite effective, otherwise I am in a much calmer mood, experienced life and death, feel that many things are light, even the shadow of the fragrance will not always linger in the heart, even when I think about it, it is mostly the sweetness full of happiness, not the pain of liver and intestines.

After another five or six days, Mr. Sang finally allowed me to get out of bed and walk, Xiao Shunzi has also returned to me, under his support, I gently took the first step after the recovery, the footsteps felt softer than cotton, in the room less than a circle, I was a little out of breath, now it is the middle of March, a few peaches in the garden have bloomed, although the spring breeze is still a little chilly, but it is not so biting, Xiao Shunzi let people in the garden a pavilion on three sides with Shu brocade to surround the spring breeze, Spread a thick Persian blanket in the pavilion, put on the soft couch table and chairs, I sat comfortably on the soft couch, wearing the silver fox fur that His Royal Highness Yongwang rewarded last winter, Mr. Sang sat on the chair, his eyes were slightly closed, but Xiao Shunzi was boiling tea on the side, and after a while, two cups of hot tea were sent over, I drank it all, and I felt that the limbs and bones were all comfortable.

Mr. Sang also drank it all, and said with a smile: "The tea sent by His Royal Highness is really good, Suiyun, King Yong treats you like a countryman, it seems that you are unwilling to live in seclusion with me." ‘

I was stunned for a moment and asked, 'Why does Sir say this, isn't it because he doesn't like Zhe to serve King Yong?' ‘

Mr. Sang smiled faintly and said: "I don't bother to pay attention to these mundane things in the world, King Yong is not a mediocre person, there is nothing wrong with you assisting him, just for the sake of your body, I want you to resign and go into hiding." ‘

I said indifferently, 'But my body can't be tired from now on?' ‘

Mr. Sang shook his head and said: "Not only that, Suiyun, although your injury is serious, but as long as you recuperate carefully, you can return to normal after a few years, as long as you are careful in the past few years, there is no big problem, but the heart disease is difficult to treat, your heart is injured by the seven emotions, if you can't calm down and recuperate, I'm afraid that you will be terminally ill in ten years, if I expect it to be correct, you must have experienced great joy and sorrow when you were physically and mentally exhausted, so you hurt the Heart Sutra, and the sadness has not stopped all these years, so you have developed a chronic disease, Although your medical skills are good, it is just that it is difficult for a good doctor to heal himself, which leads to today's words. ‘

Xiao Shunzi's face turned pale when he heard this, he looked at Sangchen without saying a word, Sangchen shook his head slightly, sighed, and stopped talking.

I walked out from the moment of life and death, but I heard such news, but the strange thing is that I didn't feel the slightest sadness in my heart, and said with a faint smile: "This is also Zhe's fate, that is, Zhe used to have the heart to go into hiding, and now he has received such a kindness from His Royal Highness King Yong, if he can't repay it, wouldn't it be difficult for life, besides, if he is restless, what is the use of penance in the mountains, the disciples dare not hide it, I am a blood feud for killing my wife, this hatred is not snow, death is not blind, how can I cultivate." However, ten years is enough, the disciple is confident that he can take revenge and assist King Yong to achieve great causes, when the time comes, the lake and the sea will drift, until life and death are outside the degree, and the wealth is like floating clouds, isn't it happy, life is so far, why hate death? ‘

Xiao Shunzi's face was pale at first, but when he heard it, his expression turned calm. Sangchen glanced at him and asked, 'Do you also have your master Hu Lai?' ‘

Xiao Shunzi said respectfully: "Childe likes this, the slave can only rely on him, and at most the slave will follow the spring, and it will not make the son lonely." ‘

He said this, but I was not moved, after experiencing life and death, many of my thoughts are different, Xiao Shunzi is to die for me, I only feel that there is one more friend of Quanxia, and with my means, what is the difficulty of letting him live, so I just glanced at him lightly, smiled slightly, and said that he knew his hard work, he said this just to let me work hard to live for a few more years.

Sang Chen smiled slightly bitterly: "That's it, it's up to you, but I'll take care of you during this time, and it's up to you in the future." ‘

I wondered, 'Why does my husband still have to travel far away, why does he have to make the world his home when he is so old?' ‘

Sang Chen said lightly: "I am old, I don't want to get involved in the disputes of the world, the waves here are turbulent, I am not younger than you, I can't stand the wind and waves." But I'm really not young, this time I'm going back to my hometown to live in seclusion, if you have something to do in the future, you can go to Penglai in the East China Sea to find me. ‘

I nodded and said, "Sir, that's right, if the situation calms down, I also want to see the scenery of the overseas fairy mountain." ‘

Mr. Sang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Suiyun, is your enemy Fengyimen?" ‘

My body shook and I said lightly, 'How could the gentleman say that?' Fengyimen's martial arts Niu Er is the spiritual leader of the White Dao and the founder of Dayong, how can I be an enemy of them? ‘

Sang Chen said lightly: "You don't have to worry, I have nothing to do with Fengyimen, when the master of Fengyimen became famous, I was already not confused, although she wanted to invite me as a guest several times, I didn't agree, this time they came to the door to seek medical treatment, I took a look, and I knew that Liang Wan was poisoned by the poison prepared by the Broken Grace Grass, and the Broken Grace Grass has no cure, and there are only you and me in this world, so I know that it must be done by you, but you never do anything unreasonable, so I didn't tell them, Just said that if she takes good care of her, Liang Wan can return to normal, but the memories of the past can't be returned. ‘

I was a little relieved and asked, 'Won't you blame me for being so hot?' ‘

Sang Chen smiled faintly and said, "I never ask about mundane things in the world, but this Broken Grace Grass is too vicious, so don't use it in the future." ‘

I asked again, 'What does the gentleman think of the Fengyi Gate?' ‘

Sang Chen looked at me deeply and said, "The master of Fengyi Sect is a poor person, hateful people must have pitiful, what you want to do is understandable, but you must not hurt your own body." If there is hatred, you just need to remember who the enemy is, as for that hatred, it is better to forget, burn your heart and bones, and not remember is to treat yourself well. ‘

I bowed lightly and said, 'Thank you, sir, for your teachings. The only person in this world who can make me subservient has made it clear that he will not ask me about it, so I really have no scruples. Although I don't know what kind of past Mr. Sang and Fengyi Sect Master have, it is already an inconsequential matter.

Sang Chen sighed, this child felt that the surname was similar when he saw it, although he was as old as his grandson, and he really regarded him as a grandson, but he also knew that he could not reverse his mind, Fan Huiyao, the master of Fengyi, had talked with him several times, that woman was a radiant existence, although she was used to living alone, but she had also been moved by her, and also gave her the remnants of the Taiyin Heart Sutra in her collection, if she didn't have the one she gave her, then I believe she would not have the achievements she has today, at least ten years slower, he has never regretted it, because martial arts are not important to him, but for this child who will sooner or later confront the master of Fengyi Sect, he passed on all his martial arts to Li Shun, presumably in this way Li Shun will be able to better protect Jiang Zhe.

Looking at Jiang Zhe, Sang Chen said lightly: "I'm leaving, take care." ‘

I hurriedly said, "It's too hasty today, so I'd better stay a few more days, and I'll give my husband a ride." ‘

Sang Chen smiled and said, "No need, you are not in good health, what should you send me." ‘

Then a brisk voice came from afar: 'Why, who's leaving.' I looked up, but it was Li Zhen, the king of Yong, who came over with Sima Xiong. Then he said, 'Your Highness, Mr. Sang is leaving. ‘

Li Zhen hurriedly said: "How can Mr. be in such a hurry, I haven't had time to repay the life I saved last time, and this time I saved the life of Jiang Sima, if I don't stay a few more days, I'm afraid that I will say that this king is not well entertained." ‘

Sang Chen said lightly: "It's useless to stay longer, Suiyun is no longer in trouble, and the old man still has something to do, so he has to leave." ‘

Li Zhen saw that Sangchen's words were resolute, and knew that he could not be forced, so he asked people to take gold beads worth thousands of gold, and said: "This king does not dare to force him to stay, please accept these gold beads, and he does not dare to say thank you, but just help each other." ‘

Sang Chen said lightly: "Suiyun is my old age, if it weren't for His Royal Highness's sacrifice of expensive medicines, I am afraid that I would have died long ago, Sang is grateful, how dare I accept gold and silver." ‘

I knew Mr. Sang's temper, and I didn't want them to stiffen, so I persuaded: 'Sir, let's keep these gold and silver, if it is spread that His Royal Highness King Yong doesn't even give the travel expenses, I'm afraid it's not good, and Mr. often treats the poor and sick, they have no money to buy medicine, and they often hurt Mr. to help, Your Highness should accept these gold and silver for them. ‘

My words hit the nail on the head, although Mr. Sang's heart is as cold as ice, but when he sees a sick person, he always has to be healed, of course, he has to pay out of his own pocket, so he always has empty pockets, fortunately he has saved thousands of people, and there are people everywhere to receive him, but those people probably don't know that Mr. Sang can't remember who they are.

Sang Chen felt that Jiang Zhe was also reasonable, so he accepted the gold and silver and left. King Yong personally sent him off, only I was forbidden to follow, I could only watch Mr. Sang walk out of the cold garden, alas, I only have this one elder in the world, and I will be separated after a few days of reunion, and the sorrow and farewell will inevitably come to my heart. The gloomy ** is just goodbye.

Xiao Shunzi came back soon after sending me off, and he said with some hesitation: "Childe, do you want to check the relationship between Mr. Cha Sang and the master of the Fengyi Sect, it seems that I have not seen any information about these things." ‘

I said lightly: "No need, I know very well that Mr. Sang has to be a person, since he said that he doesn't care, he doesn't care." If we kill the master of Fengyi, Mr. Sang will not be surprised, as long as we don't use excessive means against the master of Fengyi, and besides, what kind of character is the master of Fengyi, even if we destroy the entire Fengyi Gate, we may not be able to hurt her. ‘

Xiao Shunzi's expression changed, and he asked, "If the master of the Fengyi Sect escapes in the future, then won't there be endless troubles, and there must be a way to trap her." ‘

I looked at Xiao Shunzi and smiled slightly: "There is a way to do this, but it depends on you, if you can take over the Fengyi Sect Master with a hundred moves and not be defeated, then I have a chance of winning." ‘

Xiao Shunzi said with a resolute expression: "Don't worry, Childe, I will do it." I smiled and nodded. He also said, "Why hasn't His Highness come here yet, he must have something to discuss with me when he came here today." ‘

Xiao Shunzi's face suddenly became very strange, and he said after a while: "His Royal Highness received some news just now, so he didn't come over, so he must have come over in a while." As soon as his words fell, I had already seen Li Zhen's figure, but I didn't have time to ask Xiao Shunzi why he was uneasy.
