Chapter 29: The Aftermath
The clouds and mist dissipate and show their true face, the Lushan Waterfall murmurs and flows, and the mountain birds and beasts forage for food, and there are few traces of people...... Seven days after the first battle of Lushan, there was no one in the whole Lushan Mountain, and the market at the foot of the mountain resumed its former life but was not as noisy as before, because who did this land belong to? It is not known who will take care of this part of Lushan. If it is said that it belongs to the jurisdiction of Lingjian Mountain, then the whole pattern is the same as before; But if it is the fog gate to take over, it will inevitably change the pattern, with the style of Lingjian Mountain, this land is a place to fight, and Lushan Mountain will become a place of beacon fire and wolf smoke...... Fortunately, after the eighth day, Lushan ushered in its own lord - Lingjian Mountain! The pattern is still the same, and the surrounding Li people are also relieved to return to Lushan in an orderly manner, and Lushan returns to its former prosperity.
"These ruins have all been refined and rebuilt, the checkpoints on and off the mountain have been renovated, all the trees on the back have been cut down and replaced with green bamboo; Destroy all the hidden foundations and secret passages left behind by the fog gate, leaving no trace. ”
"Old Sword Master, this is the latest design of the palace map, please take a look!"
A leader of the craftsmen ran up to the old swordmaster in a good voice and presented a cowhide drawing full of the plans of the rebuilt palace. The old sword master was dressed in a blue robe, with several layers of white stripes wrapped around his chest, and he crossed his hands behind him, and his eyes were always on the place where Li Bai fell to the ground before.
"Ahem... Sword master? ”
The old sword master took the drawings and looked at them carefully, handed them back, nodded and said, "It will be built in twenty days, and a pavilion will be added to that place, which is called: Thunder Pavilion." ”
"Yes."
When the old sword master returned to Lushan, in addition to dealing with the aftermath of the fog gate, he took more time to go to Pinghe Town, almost every day he disguised himself to go to the town, and he always stopped in a Yunlai inn to drink alone.
"The wine of the Cloud Palace is a unique one in the world, although it does not have the charm of the Spirit Sword Mountain, but it can let the ancestor come to this inn to drink this wine, and the owner of my Yunlai Inn will respect the ancestor on behalf of the Cloud Palace!"
The old sword master shook his head, picked up the wine jug and filled it for himself, "The wine is good, but it's a pity that few people drink it, what explanation does your palace master have?" ”
The innkeeper took the wine jug and poured himself a bowl, shook his head and said: "The elders and hall masters of the Cloud Palace have issued bans, I don't need to know about the palace master's comings and goings, as for the ancestor who comes to my inn every day to ask the palace master for a quick breath, he is too concerned about the Cloud Palace." "My Cloud Palace still has affairs to deal with every day, and the Lingjian Mountain, which was renovated in the first battle of Lushan, should be the town by you, Ancestor, not to borrow wine from my stack to relieve your sorrows."
"The wine in the Cloud Palace is still too weak......"
The old sword master put down his wine glass, silently walked out of the stack door, looked at the direction of Lushan, and still chose to wander in Pinghe Town. The innkeeper of the Yunlai Inn put away the wine jug and bowl, scratched his head, and was confused. "Every day, I ask the palace master what is going on? What's at stake? Every time I catch and ask, how do I know? The whereabouts of the palace master are uncertain, and it's good that I can see it once a year......"
…… The wind and snow are unscrupulously accumulated at the corners of the mountain edges and pits, and the strong wind is blowing hulahula, and the snowflakes are swept over the mountain tip path until the snow is sent to the blue clouds, which is the cloud pool at the western end of Kunlun. The cloud pond bordering the sky has now had a lot of lotus shower heads poking out of the pond surface, although the hibiscus all over the pool has bloomed, but it is not yet time, and the hibiscus in the cloud pool is still early.
In the very center of the cloud pool, there were two figures standing, they were sitting on both sides of a circular bubble, silently looking at Li Bai who was naked in the bubble.
Two figures, one is the palace master himself, and the other is an old woman with a charitable face.
The old woman opened her mouth and said: "Palace Master, Li Bai woke up from his injury for at least half a month at the earliest, and three months or more slowly...... Alas~"
The palace master nodded and turned his face helplessly, "Or I didn't take a good look at him, so he was angry." He shouldn't have promised him to let him stay in Lushan in the first place, although this matter of Lushan has been resolved, it is not a good thing for my Cloud Palace, but it is ...... for Lingjian Mountain."
The palace master patted the bubbles and pleaded with the old woman: "This Li Bai boy's injury still needs to ask the three elders to bother more, looking at this ten thousand lifetimes, the dragon girl's ability has been exhausted, and it only depends on the medical skills of the three elders, and the palace master is here to thank you for this kid." ”
The old woman's charitable face was difficult to squeeze out a smile, and she looked at Li Bai sadly and said: "I will use my lifelong medical skills to wake him up, but the evil qi in his body has taken root, I can only save his life for a while, if he wants to act like this impulse again, the old woman will not be able to return to heaven!" ”
The old woman took out an ancient scroll, "This medicine scroll is the forbidden scroll of the Cloud Palace, and it is extremely precious. ”
The palace master took the ancient axis curiously, "Thank you to the three elders for finding this scroll from the forbidden place of the Cloud Palace, with it, you may be able to suppress the evil qi and save this kid's life!" ”
"Save? Hehe..."The old woman shook her head and smiled bitterly, "The medicine pill recorded in this medicine scroll does have the miraculous effect of suppressing evil qi, but this medicine contains many strange things and it is difficult to find, and it is also laborious to refine one; It's one thing whether you can find all the prescriptions, and this medicine alone is not something that ordinary people can refine...... And even if this forbidden recipe is refined, for a Li Bai? I'm afraid that many elders of the Cloud Palace will not be convinced......"
The palace master pondered for a while, "I have a way to make the medicine, and as for who to find to refine this medicine, I already have someone in mind... The only difficulty is to make many elders agree with Li Bai's identity, it was I who saved him when I was the first bird, and I didn't consider what other elders thought about my problem, but please rest assured that the third elder will never be against the cloud palace. ”
The old woman was skeptical, "He has been in the Cloud Palace for two years, but not many people know his identity, especially the many hall masters and pavilion masters, who have a great opinion about his identity as the master of the Cloud Palace. ”
"Don't worry about this, if his seal is not there, he won't be that scoundrel melon skin, as for the achievement, I have a way to let him go."
"The old woman said frankly, Li Bai's double-edged sword also hopes that the palace master will pick up the hilt, and the blade is the best way to do it to the Cloud Palace."
"Definitely!"
"If it's okay, the old woman will retire for the time being, I will personally check his recovery every day, as for the medicine pill to trouble the palace master, the old woman also wants to see the forbidden medicine miracle of our Cloud Palace in her lifetime."
The palace master nodded, and after sending the old woman away, he sat next to the bubble for a long time, and talked to himself while opening the scroll......
"Demon Lingzhi, the other side bone...... are notoriously hard to find; I still have to find someone to refine this medicine pill, I don't know if the old ghost of the Xiao family is dead......"
