Chapter 26: Orphans

At this time, there was no fire in the rows of tiled houses, and there was silence.

Wang Zhengqing told me that his master had already fallen asleep, and that his little junior brother would arrange a place for us to live, and that the matter of drug rehabilitation would not be until tomorrow morning.

I have no opinion, after all, I came to worship the mountain gate to ask for people, and the attitude should be put down.

It's just that I have never slept in this environment, there is no electricity on this mountain, Wang Zhengqing's little brother still lit us an oil lamp, and the bed is also the kind of earthen kang, but with a very thick mattress, I slept quite steadily.

His little brother took care of everything for us before he turned to leave, and I was embarrassed to let a child help me clean up the bed, and I couldn't find a chance to intervene.

Later, Wang Zhengqing told me about the etiquette that beginners need to do, and also told me that the children on the mountain were all orphans, and they were picked up by the master when he came down the mountain.

I'm not interested in these, I just looked at the tiled houses outside, there should still be a lot of people here, but Wang Zhengqing told me that in addition to the master on the mountain, his senior brothers and junior brothers add up to seven, he ranks third, and among the senior brothers, he is the only one who goes out to practice.

I was very curious about the Maoshan Sect, so I asked some more questions about this aspect, and he was not stingy, and told me everything he knew, including the development history of the Maoshan Sect, as well as the current creed.

It turns out that Maoshan Taoism is divided into the southern school and the northern school, the northern school is the Taoist temple in the Maoshan scenic area, the main one does some incense and charity for a living, and the southern school is dedicated to cultivating the Tao, hidden in the back mountain, the people who cultivate the Tao in it are only asking about the world, and even the outside world is rarely in and out.

And his master, Gu Yichang, likes to be alone, so he specially found such a secret location.

But when I turned around and asked about his organization, he digressed.

I understand that this is his personal privacy, and I should respect it, but I am really curious about how there can be such an organization in the system that is responsible for dealing with these mysterious things, which were unheard of and unseen before.

I didn't try to ask a second after one unsuccessful interrogation, and when I should know, I would know.

Because I was too tired to climb the mountain in front, so I slept very deeply this night, and the next morning Wang Zhengqing woke me up, he seemed to have been awake for a while, neatly dressed, I rested a night a little better, but others were in good spirits.

"Master, his old man is giving morning lessons to his junior and younger brothers, let's go and ask him for a morning tea."

I quickly nodded and got up, and after washing up as fast as I could, I followed him to the square.

At this time, there were already six people sitting in the square, from childhood to adulthood, the small one looked only eight or nine years old, and the big beard was there, and Wang Zhengqing's master Gu Yi was sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle of the square at this time, with a tea case next to it, and was sipping tea carefully.

He was dressed in a blue-gray robe, his hair was gray, his beard was long and long, his face was thin, his temples were slightly raised, and his face was very good, but his Yin Tang was a little sunken, which was a bad sign, but looking at his leisurely appearance on his face, he didn't want to encounter ups and downs.

This kind of auspicious and evil face is rare, at least it is the first time I have seen it.

The six people sitting in front of him should be Wang Zhengqing's other six senior brothers, who are holding a volume of poetry and reading it carefully, there are two young kings I and Wang Zhengqing, I think our dress is a little too different.

"Master, apprentice Zhengqing will give you morning tea."

When he came to his master's side, Wang Zhengqing knelt down directly, made a gesture of pinching his palms, and bowed three times.

Could this be etiquette? I was a little stunned, and I knelt down with the customs, but as soon as I knelt down, Wang Zhengqing tilted his head and gave me a look, and whispered to me: "Stand, don't kneel." ”

I was stunned, and subconsciously straightened my knees, saying that this man has gold under his knees, kneeling to the sky, kneeling to the ground, worshipping the teacher, kneeling to his parents, it is all taken for granted, but I really have nothing to do with the ancient elders, and they don't like outsiders to bow down to worship this.

"Well, Xiao Qi told me that you came back and brought a patient back, it must be the one in front of you, right?"

Speaking of which, Gu Yichang looked up at me, and my eyes also met it, this look is okay, but at a glance, the problem comes.

Just now I saw that his temples were full and slightly raised, while Yin Tang was deeply sunken, and it was an auspicious and fierce face, but now that I looked, all those faces were gone, and I couldn't see anything.

This, it shouldn't be.

I was just suspicious, and when the ancient one looked at me, his eyes seemed to flicker twice.

Without waiting for me to think about it, Wang Zhengqing explained on the side: "Yes, Master, he seems to have been poisoned by Miao Jiang's Gu, and the Warm Blood Pill you gave me is almost unable to suppress the poison in it." ”

"Gu poison?"

Hearing Wang Zhengqing say this, Gu Yichang's two deep eyes suddenly fixed on my body, and at that moment I felt that I was lowered my head, and I couldn't move in an instant.

Knowing that his gaze was away, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and the pressure in my whole body instantly relaxed.

What just happened? Can the momentum in a person be so strong?

I looked at Gu Yichang in horror, but I saw that he had already gotten up, held a volume of ancient books and walked towards the largest tiled room among them, and Wang Zhengqing hurriedly followed.

I turned around and forgot about the disciples who were still reciting the poetry there, and then quickly followed.

"How could you provoke the people of Shangmiaojiang?" Gu Yichang walked in front and said lightly: "Being targeted by them, the detoxification can't cure the root." ”

"It's a case." When Wang Zhengqing was talking to Gu Yichang, his voice was almost half smaller, and he didn't even dare to speak loudly: "I can't be sure if the other party is from Miao Jiang, and the people from Miao Jiang shouldn't be born to do evil, right?" ”

Gu Yichang, who was walking in front, shook his head: "That's not true, although the people of Miao Jiang are mysterious, hospitable and even vicious, they are not involved in external disputes, you should have met someone who steals art." ”

With that, we came to a hall.

The hall is enshrined in a painting, the painting is a portrait of the Taoist, and there is nothing else, and later Wang Zhengqing told me that the ancestor of the Maoshan Sect of the southern sect of them, I was in awe.

When I got to the hall, the elder of the ancient Yi asked me to go up.

"Reach out."

I stretched it out as usual, but he suddenly grabbed my hand like an eagle, and the force was so great that I felt like I couldn't break free.

I really want to tell him, Taoist, you take the pulse, and I won't run; But the person is a senior, he didn't speak, how dare I.

Then he looked at my tongue and eyes.

"It's not poison."

After checking it out a few times, Gu Yi Chang returned to his seat, leaving me alone in place, isn't it Gu Poison? What is that?

"I hope Master will rescue me." Wang Zhengqing made another move, his attitude was very humble, I didn't expect Wang Zhengqing to help me make it clear again and again, which is very moving.

"That's a poison made from the snake skin of the Fighting Snake Gu and its venom, you have been deceived, you are not a descendant of Miao Jiang."

Am I poisoned? It's not Gu, it's poison?

I was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Zhengqing, if Gu Yichang's words are true, then this matter will be much easier, as long as it does not involve Dao Miaojiang, the problem will not be too big.

Wang Zhengqing was looking at me at the same time, and gave me an expression of believing in his master.

"Dao Chief, can the poison on my body be cured?"

"Yes, but it's a little troublesome, Zhengqing, you go and call Xiao Liu Xiaoqi to boil water, and then go and prepare a bath bucket and a clean robe for your friend."

Wang Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded and went out.

Boil water, bath bucket, is this to take a bath?

I thought about this bath and detoxification for the first time, but the deliberate Taoist suddenly gave me a sentence.

"Who are you Zhang Jiuxuan?"

I was stunned, this is the second time I have heard someone call my grandfather's name in the past few days, the first one is the melon skin hat, and the second one is Wang Zhengqing's master, the ancient one.

I looked at him in astonishment, and then said, "Yes...... It's my grandfather, do you know my grandfather? ”

"Zhang Jiuxuan's grandson?" He looked at me, up and down, and finally nodded and said, "There is a bit of Zhang Jiuxuan's momentum, but it is still a little tender, and it will take a few more years." ”

The atmosphere was embarrassing for a while, I don't know if the ancient leader actually knew his grandfather, how many places did this old guy swim in when he was young, and even a Taoist priest who was practicing in such a place could be encountered?

After a while, he asked me again, "Are you in the same team as Zhengqing?" ”

"Oh no." I nodded again and again: "I'm just a commissioner in the archives, and I was recently involved in a case, and it was Brother Wang who helped them solve the siege, and when they saw that I was poisoned, Brother Wang brought me here, and others ...... Very good. ”

Gu Yi nodded for a long time, and then said, "There should be something unclear about the case that can get you involved, right?" ”

Now I don't know whether it's better to nod or not, to say that there are unclear things in the case, otherwise how can we need to solve the case, but I quickly reacted, the old one said that those unclean things.

Nodding his head quickly, he smiled: "It's the same as when Zhang Jiuxuan was young, and he loves to study strange things when he encounters them." ”

Before we could continue chatting, Wang Zhengqing came over and said that the bath bucket was ready, and two buckets of water had been boiled.

Gu Yi nodded and led us to the bathing room, and by the time I got here, the tub was filled with water, but the water in it was black, and even emitted a strong smell, and one of the children was still adding strange flowers and plants to it, and there was the kind of earthen stove not far away, and hot water was still boiling.

"Master, the water temperature is just right."

Wang Zhengqing tried to come over to report, Gu Yi nodded, turned to me and said, "Take off your clothes and go in." ”

I nodded subconsciously, but when I stood on the edge of the tub, I hesitated, the stench was so unbearable, especially since it was still bubbling inside, it looked disgusting.
