Zhao Rui's body was weak and cold after he fell seriously ill, and the attendants were explained by the medical officer of the Tai Hospital, even if it was in the side hall where the meal was served, they didn't dare to make a big splash of icebergs, but just put a few pots of crushed ice in each of the four corners of the inner hall.

Song Weizi waited outside the Wende Hall for a long time, it was already too hot, and he followed the Son of Heaven all the way, and when he knelt on the futon cushion at this time, he only felt that the sweat was covered on the top of the head between the scalp and the hair, although it was not called an ocean, it could barely be regarded as a small square pond.

The sweat was pressed inside and couldn't get out, so that his scalp was a little sore and itchy, but he couldn't move.

When two drops of sweat dripped onto the table, because of a heart-piercing pain in his left knee, he didn't notice it, so he easily adjusted his posture and tried to avoid that place, and when he came back to his senses, there were already three or four drops of sweat on the table.

The lead powder from the ancient rouge shop in Beizhang of Xiuyi Fang has always been very famous, as long as this family is mentioned, the women in the boudoir and the women in the backyard all praise it, only saying that its texture is delicate, and it is obedient and natural to rub on the face, and it can also appear that the face is tender and tender.

However, no woman will wear this thick layer of lead powder and bask in the sun for half a day on a hot day.

Looking at the muddy sweat on the table, Song Weizi's heart was shocked.

There was no mirror in front of him, and just looking at these few drops of sweat, he really couldn't guess what had become of his face.

The weather in the south is hot, the sun is poisonous, and in the summer, when you go outside for three or two months, you will look better than Pan An, and your fair and handsome face will also be tanned into Zhong Kui, not to mention that you are forced to go out from morning to night, and now, your face is as black as a piece of coke.

Sitting opposite was an acquaintance, although he was very sure that his old appearance was new, it was impossible for him to be recognized by his former acquaintance, and he could see the other party, he still couldn't help but be afraid.

One by one, not afraid of 10,000, just in case!

I don't know what kind of face is on my face at this time! If it is really seen......

Thinking of the pills he took when he went out in the morning, it was already evening at this time, although according to the previous effect, when it was not until the evening it gradually lost its strength, there was nothing to be afraid of, what to say tonight, what to do, has been rehearsed several times, it can be seen that this variable in front of him, Song Weizi is still a little unassured.

If you ask the other person to recognize your voice......

He shuddered involuntarily, carefully put his left hand into his right hand, pinched a pill out of his sleeve, and took advantage of no one's idea, quietly put the pill into the wine glass on the table, and drank the pill and the wine.

Not to mention that Song Weizi is waiting for this place, and he is careful everywhere, lest he be seen that something is wrong.

And Gu Yanzhang sat opposite him, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was wrong.

At this time, the sky is not completely dark, the palace is lit with white wax, very bright, as long as the sweat flows on the face of the pine Weizi, it is all black, a white, at first glance, I don't feel anything, but if you look at it carefully, you can see that this person's face really looks a little eye-catching.

What's even more strange is that his face is already full of sweat, although the robe on his body is dark, but the color of the fabric at the placket and cuffs is light, at a glance, he has been soaked with sweat, and the beard on his chin is even more wet and glued into a few handfuls, but the gray thunder scarf hat is not reacted at all, it is still very dry, and there is no sweat between the temples.

One by one, how can someone sweat on his face, dripping sweat on his earlobes, but there is not half a drop of sweat on his head?

Gu Yanzhang only felt very strange, although he didn't say it, he had already made another note in his heart.

The three of them had a brief meal and went to the palace not far away.

Song Weizi sat on the futon, opened a few sentences, and began to say "Huang Tingjing", he didn't say anything about Taoism, nor did he say anything about the side things, only talked to Zhao Rui about the way of health, although his voice was hoarse, as if he had been rubbed through his throat by sandpaper, which made people feel a little uncomfortable, but the content was present.

"Your Majesty's daily management is full of opportunities, there are many state affairs, court affairs, everything is troubled, it is naturally easy to have a false fire, some nights are sleepless, lack of energy, very normal, Xiaodao thinks, but there is no need to make up for it with medicine, it is better to breathe and breathe every night before going to bed, only half a pillar of incense kung fu, you can speak and speak, strengthen the spleen and kidneys, and strengthen the essence and cultivate the yuan......"

"In addition, Xiaodao went to Ciming Palace in the morning, and listened to the words of the sage, many palaces here love to burn incense, Your Majesty is busy with daily state affairs, and loves to point strange incense to refresh the mind, you must know that although incense is beneficial, in the end it is forced to urge the five organs, and it is a thing that is edified and infected, especially hurts the lungs, at this time it is good for a while, but it is difficult to sleep at night."

That Song Weizi shook the dust in his hand, and said again: "Your Majesty may wish to try which day not to light incense, and do a small way to breathe and breathe in the evening, after going down to the court, go to the back garden to breathe the fresh air of plants and trees, and replace the turbidity with the new, it will be able to wash the lungs and lungs, and it can also boost the spirit, so for a long time, the natural five organs are stronger, and the sleep day is good......

Zhao Rui had a busy day today, after the morning court meeting, he met with more than a dozen officials, returned to the Wende Hall and began to approve the folds, ate a few bites casually at noon, and discussed things with Gu Yanzhang in the afternoon, and did not stop for a while, and then ate dinner again.

As soon as his stomach was full, his eyes were sleepy, and he already wanted to sleep very much, but he could hear Na Song Weizi explain his current physical condition clearly, although he had not checked the pulse, it was like a roundworm in his belly.

There are some things, even Zhao Rui's own family only vaguely feels, but they are clearly pointed out by Song Weizi, such as bitter mouth, night sweats, insomnia, occasional nightmares, leg cramps, etc., almost everything is accurate, and a very convenient treatment method is given.

After being sick for a long time and getting a good doctor, how to make Zhao Rui not surprised, and no longer asked, only asked how to raise his body.

That Song Weizi is also very smart, all the methods taught are breathing and breathing, regular work and rest, and even Zhao Rui mentioned cultivation and pills, he just smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, Xiaodao visited famous mountains and rivers, and I have never seen a true immortal, as for the elixir...... According to the idea of the trail, it is better to eat a few more bites of good food! ”

Talking and laughing, swaying freely.

Zhao Rui asked him a lot of questions, and asked someone to bring pen and ink, to copy the method of breathing and breathing.

Song Weizi hurriedly said: "Xiaodao has already been prepared on my body, and I have also drawn a picture. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth from his bosom.

The cloth was folded four times, in fact, it was two feet long and one foot high, Zhao Rui took it, couldn't stretch it for a while, simply put it on the ground on the side, asked the waiter to take a candle over, first leaned on the edge of the cloth and looked at it carefully, and sighed: "It's really detailed." ”

Na Song Weizi said with a smile: "Breath and breathe, all have to use the right strength, make the right posture, in fact, it doesn't take too long to be effective, if Your Majesty is free, you might as well try it in a few days, if it is useful, you can insist, if it is useless, you will not waste any effort." ”

Zhao Rui couldn't help but nodded, only feeling that what this Taoist priest said was quite reasonable, and he looked up and was about to speak, but saw a few steps away, Gu Yanzhang was kneeling on the futon, and was curiously looking at the cloth on the ground with a humanoid drawing, so he said, "Gu Qing also intends to give it a try?" ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "Your Majesty is still curious, how can the minister not be moved. ”

Zhao Rui laughed and waved his hand to ask the little yellow goalkeeper to take the cloth.

Gu Yanzhang took the piece of cloth, put it on the ground and gently unfolded it, only to see that the piece was not the same as the ordinary white silk cloth, but was earthy yellow, looking like an old thing that had been placed for many years, but the handwriting on it was very new.

In addition to the mantra and the method of breathing and breathing, there are also sitting postures, such as full inhalation, long inhalation, exhalation, tongue and palate, not only words, but also paintings, which are very vivid, as long as you follow them, you will not go wrong.

Gu Yanzhang counted roughly, and pointed out a total of more than 30 pictures, the silk cloth pointed out that each posture had to be silently counted below thirty before it could be changed, although the mantra was not complicated, it was not easy to memorize it in a short period of time.

He only went through it hastily, and didn't see any problems, as if it was just an ordinary Taoist breathing method, so he rolled up the yellow cloth and was about to hand it back to the small yellow door on the side, but the roll of things was closer, but it smelled a faint fragrance.

Gu Yanzhang had a prejudice in his heart, and at this time, he didn't feel right when he looked at anything, and it was even more strange to smell the smell, so he opened the yellow cloth in his hand again and held it closer.

The smell of the cloth is greater than the taste when it is rolled up, the aroma is still weak at first, but it has been opened for a long time, but it is getting stronger and stronger.

He said to Song Weizi: "What is this volume made of, and how does it smell faintly fragrant?" It seems to be better than the rue fragrance used by ordinary people to smoke books and repel insects. ”

After Gu Yanzhang finished asking, somehow, it seemed that he saw the Song Weizi on the other side paused slightly, his expression was a little stiff, and the other party took a breath before he replied with a smile: "This thing is nothing special, but the cloth is left by the master of the small dao, and it should be the thing of the sect, as for how to make it, the little dao doesn't know." ”

Although Gu Yanzhang still felt weird, there was no evidence at this time, it was all speculation and conjecture, and it was not good to say much, so he only smiled and said to Zhao Rui: "I think that I have no chance with this rare method of prolonging life, and I only looked at it a few times at this time, and I already felt a little uncomfortable, and I don't know if I can't smell this fragrance or learn this posture." ”

He handed the yellow cloth back to the small yellow door on the side.

Zhao Rui didn't hear anything wrong, so he just asked someone to put it away and sent it back to Funing Palace.

At this time, it was getting late, the three of them said a few more words, and while the palace gate was not closed, Gu Yanzhang and Song Weizi said goodbye and left.

He thought that this time he would go out of the palace with Song Weizi, and he could chat for a while on the road, and he could ask a few words, who would have expected that he would not be able to speak before he could take a few steps out of the door of the side hall, but Song Weizi suddenly stood still, and beckoned the small yellow door on the side and whispered: "Is there a convenient place near the left?" ”

The little yellow door hurriedly said: "Just ahead, walk two hundred steps to arrive." ”

Na Song Weizi looked embarrassed, and said to Gu Yanzhang: "Tired officials go first, please take care of the choice, Xiaodao has a pain in his abdomen, I'm afraid I have to take a slow step." ”

As he spoke, he saluted Gu Yanzhang and hurriedly followed the little yellow door.

The more this person he saw was hiding and acting, the more Gu Yanzhang felt that there was a ghost in it, but he couldn't figure out where it was for a while, and it was impossible to rush forward to wash his face with hot water for no reason, let alone pull his hair down to see if it was true or not.

He thought about it, Fu walked forward a few dozen steps, first asked the little yellow gate that led the way in front of him, and learned that there was at most half an hour left here to close the palace gate, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he didn't stay much, but went straight out of the palace.

***

Inside, Na Song Weizi went to the thatched house, sat in it for a long time, and heard the little yellow door outside urging several times, only saying that the palace gate was about to be closed, no matter what, Gu Yanzhang should have gone far, so he slowly tied his belt, and went out like this, and thanked the little yellow door.

When he left the palace, he saw that there was no one outside, only the two little Taoist boys who followed him were waiting outside, Fu Cai breathed a sigh of relief, and asked one of them: "Did you see someone come out of the palace?" ”

said that he described Gu Yanzhang's appearance.

Gu Yanzhang's temperament is not ordinary, he is young, and he is still wearing an official uniform, which is very easy to recognize, as soon as he mentions it, the two little Taoist boys remember it clearly, and one said: "See, it's been a long time." ”

Na Song Weizi asked again: "How did he go, how many people followed?" ”

Another said: "When you walk on horseback, it seems that there is only one person with you." ”

Song Weizi was relieved at this time, hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, and hurriedly walked towards Yanqingguan.

While running a horse, he walked to a place where there were few people, and did not forget to occasionally look back, for fear that someone would follow behind, and when he got to the place, he didn't care about the side, and hurriedly pushed the door into the Taoist temple.

Because he was held back for a day, the top of his head and chin were itching, and when he entered the door, he hurriedly ordered two little Taoist boys to fetch water.

At this time, it was already dark, Song Weizi lived in the side box, he was cautious, except for the two little Taoist children who he trusted, he did not dare to let the rest of the people into the courtyard, today both were waiting outside the palace gate, because they came back in a hurry, only well water could be obtained for a while, and there was no hot water.

Song Weizi is different from others, he once suffered a knee injury, and later due to special reasons, he was injured again, not only can not be tired, but also can not soak in cold water, otherwise the pain will be unbearable, is to see that there is only cold water, and quickly instructed Dao Tong to go to the big kitchen of Yanqing Temple to fetch hot water.

He was really uncomfortable all over, as if he had been soaked in salt water for a day, from head to toe, he was uncomfortable anywhere, and it was easy to wait until the Taoist boy brought the water in, and hurriedly sent the person out, bolted the door, and didn't care about the side, grabbed a wet towel with one hand and rubbed it on his face, tore off the beard a few times, and then pulled the hair on his head.

When a bald head and a bald chin finally saw the light of day, he was so comfortable that he sighed, quickly took off his clothes, washed his head and face with cold water first, and then soaked the whole person in warm water.

After a hard day, Song Weizi only felt that it was not a human life, he was wiping the soap horn on his body, and he had not washed off the stinky sweat, when he suddenly heard a strong knock on the door outside, and his own Taoist boy shouted outside: "Dao Chief, someone from the Criminal Division has ......."

Before the fairy tale was finished, I could only hear a loud "bang" outside, and I didn't know what was happening.
