Chapter Twenty-Six: The Crisis Comes
That night, Chu Yun had just returned home from the medical hall when he was approached by Liu Qingyuan with his daughter with a serious face: "Young Master Chu, I got the exact news that the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable has entered Gongzhou City, but this old fox has never stayed in an inn, and no one knows where he is hiding." ”
"Elder Liu, do you think that Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable guy will first confirm whether you have really been cured by me before he comes to me for trouble?" Chu Yun asked.
Liu Qingyuan shook his head and said: "No, the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable is cruel by nature, and killing people is easier for him than drinking water, not to mention that you are just an ordinary doctor, so you will not be taken seriously by the other party." However, this nine-fingered evil venerable generally does not kill people in the city in broad daylight, this is completely a slap in the face of the imperial court, although the imperial court's control over the rivers and lakes is not high, but if anyone dares to do this, the six doors are not vegetarian. ”
"Six doors? Do you mean those catchers in the imperial court? "It's the first time Chu Yun has heard of the Six Gates.
Liu Qingyuan said: "What you said is not entirely correct, the people of the six doors are indeed fast, but the fast catches are not necessarily the six doors." You're not from the rivers and lakes, and you don't understand why. It can be said that the six gates are also equivalent to a huge Jianghu sect, except that it is subordinate to the imperial court. ”
Chu Yun nodded, but he understood a little.
"According to what you just said, Elder Liu, this Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable is likely to come to the door tonight." Chu Yun speculated.
Liu Qingyuan nodded and said, "Young Master Chu, you don't know, now there are rumors outside that someone has seen me appear in your house." This is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, and the reason why the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable hurried to Gongzhou City today is probably because he heard the news. In addition, about Chu Gongzi, you cured Du Chongxiao's son's illness and it was also spread to the rivers and lakes for a while. ”
Chu Yun frowned suddenly, he was sure now that someone must be behind this matter.
When Chu Yun was thinking about who was behind the scenes, Liu Qingyuan said: "Originally, Chu Gongzi's treatment was just a trivial matter, and it was nothing, after all, who didn't have three illnesses and two pains?" Even if the Du family's son's illness is more serious, it will not arouse the concern of people in the rivers and lakes. But now someone has deliberately spread the news, and his heart is damned! ”
The current Chu Yun is not a scholar who doesn't listen to things outside the window, he has seen more deception than people in this world, and immediately thought of the possibility, and said with a shocked face: "Are you saying that someone is going to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”
Suddenly, Chu Yun thought of a possibility, all of this was a ghost behind a person's back.
Wang Huaji!
If it was revealed that Liu Qingyuan faked his death before, someone wanted to harm himself. Cheng Yang was still a little hesitant, who was making the bad. So now that Du Chongxiao is also involved, it is very clear.
This is to tie Du Chongxiao to the cross of morality in the rivers and lakes and roast it!
He cured Liu Qingyuan, and he originally had a relationship with Du Chongxiao, but now because he had saved his life for the Du family, Du Chongxiao, who was the banner of Gongzhou City's righteous path, if he didn't say anything, I am afraid he would be labeled ungrateful.
While the two were discussing, Yu'er suddenly ran over and said, "Childe, Madame asked you to go, saying that Master Du sent someone over." ”
Chu Yun and Liu Qingyuan glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of clarity in each other's eyes, and it seemed that Du Chongxiao couldn't sit still.
Chu Yun said, "Elder Liu, you wait in the courtyard first, and I'll go and see the situation." ”
Liu Qingyuan nodded, and Chu Yun immediately walked towards the outside of the courtyard with Yu'er.
Soon, the two of them came to the hall in the front yard, because Chu Tianxing had already set off for Luzhou a few days earlier, and now the head of the Chu family is Mrs. Chu, that is, Chu Yun's mother.
"Yun'er, come here. This shopkeeper Li came to look for you, if there is anything, you can talk about it. "Since what happened last time, Mrs. Chu no longer treats Chu Yun as a child.
Chu Yun was slightly surprised when he saw that the person who came turned out to be Li Chaoshan, after all, Li Chaoshan was a powerful figure in the Du family, and he was in charge of the Baiyu Restaurant, which was equivalent to controlling the financial power of the Du family. It can be said that in the Du family, in addition to Du Chongxiao's extremely direct relatives, Li Chaoshan's status is the highest.
Li Chaoshan came to the Chu family in person this time, which is enough to show that Du Chongxiao attaches great importance to this matter.
Li Chaoshan looked at Mrs. Chu, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Chu Yun immediately understood the other party's intentions, and said to Mrs. Chu with a smile: "Mother, you can go first, and the shopkeeper Li will be entertained by me." ”
Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Yun, a trace of worry flashed in the depths of her eyes, but when she looked at Li Chaoshan, she said apologetically: "Shopkeeper Li, then you can talk slowly, I have other things to arrange." ”
"Mrs. Chu, please." Li Chaoshan was very kind.
After Mrs. Chu left, Chu Yun said, "Shopkeeper Li, I don't know what is the important matter of coming here this evening?" ”
Li Chaoshan saw that Chu Yun's expression was calm, and he was not sure whether the other party knew the news for a while, so he immediately said: "Master Chu, the master has a message for me to bring to you, saying that the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable has arrived in Gongzhou City. In order to ensure your safety, Young Master Chu, I hope you can stay in Du Mansion with me for a while. With the prestige of my master, the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable will also have some scruples. ”
After hearing this, Chu Yun shook his head and said, "Master Du has a heart, but this matter started because of the following, and I don't want the family of Master Du to bring unnecessary losses because of my grievances, so I won't bother the family of Master Du in the future." ”
"This ......" Li Chaoshan didn't expect Chu Yun to refuse so simply, in his opinion, this matter is not something that the Chu family can bear at all, with Master Du willing to lend a hand, Chu Yun can't be like grasping the last straw? But now this situation completely subverts his logic.
Chu Yun smiled indifferently and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you don't have to worry too much, this is broad daylight, and it is clear and clear, no matter how beneficial the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable is, it is impossible to ignore the royal law, right?" ”
Li Chaoshan smiled bitterly in his heart, it was naturally impossible to agree with Chu Yun's statement. If Wang Fa's thing works for people in the martial arts, it will be impossible for the rivers and lakes to make so many rights and wrongs.
"Young Master Chu, you have to think carefully about this matter! This nine-fingered evil venerable is vicious and acts impermanently...... "Li Chaoshan still wants to persuade again."
Chu Yun said: "Shopkeeper Li, I'll tell you directly, this Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable, I already have a way to deal with it." If you're really worried about me, take my mother over. ”
Li Chaoshan was taken aback, looking at Chu Yun's expression, it didn't look like he was lying, this was unbelievable, Chu Yun actually said that there was a way to deal with that Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable? If the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable was really so easy to deal with, his murderous reputation would not spread all over the rivers and lakes.
However, Li Chaoshan also saw Chu Yun's resoluteness, and knew that it was useless to persuade him any longer, so after thinking about it, he said: "Since Gongzi Chu insists, then do what you say for the time being." I'll go back and report to the lord first, and see what the lord thinks. ”
Chu Yun nodded and said, "Thank you to Shopkeeper Li in this way." Shopkeeper Li, wait a minute, wait for me to write a letter, and you will hand it over to Master Du on my behalf. ”
After a while, Chu Yun wrote the letter, sealed it, and handed it to Li Chaoshan, who immediately retired.
Subsequently, Chu Yun casually found an excuse to support his mother and went to Du's house, he believed that Du Chongxiao would definitely be able to find a way to keep his mother there temporarily.
Chu Yun returned to his small courtyard again, Liu Qingyuan was waiting with Liu Xishuang, and even Yu'er was staying in the courtyard.
"Young Master Chu, what did Shopkeeper Li say?" Liu Qingyuan came up and asked.
Chu Yun said: "He was going to take me to Du's house to live. But this is only a palliative solution, so I refused. But I also asked him to take my mother over, so that I don't have to worry about it. ”
Liu Qingyuan said: "That's fine. Young Master Chu, in the next few days, you'd better not go to the Shen Medical Center again. I think Shen Conglong can also understand. ”
Chu Yun shook his head and said, "Elder Liu's words are wrong, I think it is at this time that I should go to the hospital in a grand manner." As you said just now, the Nine-Fingered Evil Venerable doesn't dare to do it in broad daylight, even if I go to the hospital, there is not much danger. On the other hand, if I behave abnormally, it will arouse the other person's alarm. ”
Liu Qingyuan thought about it, but didn't insist anymore.
……
It had been five days since Chu Yun last took Guiyuan Dan, and he was finally able to take it again tonight.
"That's not enough money to spend! Wait another five days to refine the Guiyuan Dan. Chu Yun looked at the remaining two Guiyuan Pills in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't want to think about it, if he hadn't gotten Zhu Guo from the Wang family, no matter how much silver he had, he probably wouldn't be able to refine Guiyuan Dan.
Sighing and sighing, Chu Yun still swallowed a Guiyuan Pill in one gulp. The majestic aura burst out from between the chest and abdomen, and quickly swept towards the dantian.
Chu Yun immediately guided this internal force, and successively opened up the four acupoints of Qize, Lieque, Jingqu, and Taiyuan, which can be said to be remarkable progress.
In other martial arts practitioners with only 5 points, it would take at least more than a year to get through the first seven acupuncture points of the Taiyin Lung Sutra, but Chu Yun did it in just five days, which has to be said to be a kind of luck.
However, there is still a long way to go before Chu Yun advances to the middle stage of the Acupoint Realm, after all, this is the acupuncture point in the four meridians that needs to be opened, and the experience points required are not a small amount.
