Chapter 36: Re-emergence

Li Tiantu walked out of the valley and came to the three forks last time again.

If you turn right and go up the mountain, you will leave the Xuanji Villa for more than a month, and go straight down the mountain, you will end your life in the mountains for more than two months and start your complicated career again.

In an instant, Li Tiantu had the urge to return to Xuanji Villa in his heart, but he was pressed down by him.

Looking back on the grace of Yan Wuregret's teachings, the emperor's grace, Yan Mengyu's love and hatred, and the heart of heaven that needs to be tempered by hundreds of tribulations in the rivers and lakes, Li Tiantu forcibly put down so many reasons for himself to go down the mountain.

Perhaps, after dealing with these mundane things, he can come back here. Don't be the nail in the eye of the snow fairy, don't be the Buddha in the mouth of the monk of great compassion, just build a thatched hut and plant two acres of thin fields according to the green mountains and green waters in front of you, and be a real pastoral chic and smiling person in the mountains and forests.

At this time, it is the time of spring flowers, and the green weeds on both sides of the bluestone path, and the blue and yellow wildflowers sway back and forth in the spring breeze of March.

Li Tiantu sniffed the fresh air in the mountains, and the natural breath of intuition and fragrance came into his nose, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the long road to the rivers and lakes will start from this spring of recovery.

The Junshan Mountain Range is connected with the remaining veins of West Kunlun, which is the transit place connecting the east and west in Shuzhong. Not far to the west, it is the junction of the Celestial Empire and the neighboring country of Tubo, and further southwest, there is the famous city of the four secret places of martial arts, and the Ximen family, which is one of the four great families of the rivers and lakes. Therefore, although the area of the night town at the foot of Jun Mountain is not large, it is located in the intersection of Tubo, the Celestial Empire and many rivers and lakes, and the degree of prosperity alone is definitely not inferior to some densely populated medium-sized cities in the Central Plains.

Walking on the bustling streets of the town, Li Tiantu's heart was touched again. The prosperity of the town and the loneliness of the mountains are only separated by this line. Another example is the statue of the demon god in the Dharma Cave, although the two seem to be incompatible, but they intersect on the top of the cave and are not interconnected? In fact, it is very simple, but the people who are immersed in the glory and wealth and the deceit of the rivers and lakes have no time to comprehend the simplest truth in this world.

A restaurant called "Night Fragrance" attracted Li Tiantu's attention, and he was about to step on the door, but suddenly remembered that he was now penniless.

Standing at the door of the hotel, looking at the bustling flow of people on the street, Li Tiantu couldn't cry or laugh, a penny was difficult for the hero, and he knew that he should have taken the silver taels that Ling'er had prepared for himself when he left Xuanji Villa.

Next door to "Night Primrose" is a pharmacy with a signboard of "Jianghu Time-honored Pharmacist". Li Tiantu thought for a while and entered the pharmacy.

Behind the counter facing the door sat an old man of about sixty years old, with gray hair scattered and a patched gray cloth robe clean and tidy. The old man was flipping through a worn-out book, and when he heard footsteps, he couldn't help but look up in the direction of the gate.

After glancing at Li Tiantu, the old man's brows wrinkled unconsciously, and he didn't stretch out for a long time, his eyes stared at Li Tiantu like this and never moved away until he walked to the counter.

Li Tiantu looked at the old man's expression, and couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, the shopkeeper of an ordinary pharmacy didn't say that he was enthusiastic when he saw the guests coming in, at least he couldn't stare at the guests like now, which didn't seem very polite. But the purpose of coming in today is not to buy medicine, has this old man already seen it?

Seeing Li Tiantu approaching the counter, the old man seemed to feel his gaffe, stretched his brows, and said with a smile: "Little brother, it's rude!" ”

Li Tiantu looked at the old man with kind eyebrows, and felt that this old man did not seem to be a rude person, so he was very puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Old man, have you seen something?" ”

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Li Tiantu again, put down the medicine book in his hand, restrained his smile, and said with a somewhat serious expression on his face: "Since the little brother asked, the old man no longer shy away from it. The little brother has been broken for more than two months, but the strange thing is that the internal strength of the dantian has gathered but not dispersed. The old man has been practicing medicine for decades, but this is the first time he has seen such a situation. Weird! Weird! ”

This is a master of medical Taoism, and he is very good at the heart of the world.

Even the monk Dabei, who is as strong as the master of the heavenly list, did not see that he was broken, but he did not expect to be seen by the old man in front of him at a glance, how can this pharmacy shopkeeper be an ordinary person?

Li Tiantu's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "Is there a way for my predecessor to continue my broken pulse?" Faced with a master who might be a hidden miracle doctor, Li Tiantu actually forgot the original intention of entering the store.

The old man pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Difficult! The old man has this medicine for the pulse, but the meridians of your whole body are almost completely destroyed, and the old man's pulse pill is just a drop in the bucket for you. However, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the divine spring water in the Demon God Spring has the effect of the flesh and bones of the living dead, if it is soaked in the divine spring water for 7749 days in a row, it can connect the veins for people with broken meridians throughout the body, and this Demon God Spring is above this Kunlun. ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man shook his head again, "It's just rumors in the rivers and lakes, don't believe it!" ”

Demon God Spring!

When Li Tiantu heard the name of the Demon God Spring for the first time, he couldn't help but think of the two Demon God Stone Statues on the Dragon Spring, and his intuition told him that the Demon God Spring and the Dragon Spring must be related, and the distance between the two was so similar. Could it be that another name for this dragon spring is the Demon God Spring, and suddenly, Li Tiantu seemed to have spliced together the previous scenes in his mind. The cave in the mountain behind Longquan Temple should be the magic spring water, maybe the divine spring water is on this Kunlun.

In fact, what Li Tiantu thought was not much different from the facts, but because of his preconceived ideas, Li Tiantu naturally thought that the divine spring water was on Kunlun Mountain, but he never dreamed that the real divine spring water he had already seen, which was the underground hot spring located in the back mountain of Xuanji Villa.

Thinking that the divine spring that could connect his meridians might be located on the nearby Kunlun Mountain, Li Tiantu immediately decided to stay in this town.

"Senior, can you still accept apprentices in this pharmacy? Don't want money, just eat and live. Li Tiantu's old face couldn't help but blush a little, and when he thought of being shy in his pocket, he suddenly lost his confidence.

Looking at Li Tiantu's unnatural expression, the old man smiled and said, "It's normal for young people to encounter difficulties in the rivers and lakes. It just so happens that my old man is left alone in the store these days, and sometimes he is really busy, so you can stay. In addition to food and shelter, one penny of silver per month. ”

Feeling the kindness and kindness of the old man, Li Tiantu sighed secretly, the old saying "the heart of the doctor's parents" is vividly reflected in this old man.

Li Tiantu successfully stayed in the pharmacy and became a small apprentice, and waited for an opportunity to inquire about the news of Kunlun Divine Spring.
