When Zhou Ziyu let go, he wanted to step on another branch, but as soon as his feet slipped, his body lost his balance.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and while his body slid down, he caught a glimpse of a hand out of the corner of his eye, grabbed it with all his might, and held it firmly.

Rao is agile, but his body still hit the cliff hard.

Jin'er called loudly overhead: "Brother Yu"

Zhou Ziyu stabilized his body and was about to thank him, only to realize that he was grabbing the root of the cypress.

He didn't bother to look closely, he hooked the root of the tree protruding from the cliff wall with his toes, grasped the root with his other hand, and replied with his head upward:

"Jin'er, I'm fine."

"Brother Yu, can you come up?"

"Yes! I can also cut the roots. ”

"Then be careful! Fibrous roots are also available. ”

"Good!"

Zhou Ziyu looked at the roots he chose, they were black and bright, like human hands, and like dragon claws.

He smiled and said to himself to the root of the tree he was holding, "You saved my life, it must be the hand of the tree king, I will not cut you off." I'm looking for another fibrous root that can be cut. ”

Zhou Ziyu moved to the side, let go of his hand to grab the root of the tree on the side, and found that the "hand" he let go was hanging down, and his fingers were pointing down.

He looked down, and it seemed a little different less than a foot away.

If you look closely, the knotted roots are like a safety net, attached to the cliff, allowing him to easily go up and down.

And on this net, there seem to be some places that are often stepped on.

In the most critical situations, people often touch the most instinctive inspiration and discover things that they can't usually find.

Zhou Ziyu's heart moved, and he slowly moved down this "road".

At the end of the "road" is a hole.

Zhou Ziyu jumped in flexibly, stood firm, turned around, and was stunned.

The stone cave can be more than two people high, half dark and half light, and there is a Taoist who is sitting cross-legged on a straw futon, with a pair of deep eyes, emitting a little light.

Zhou Ziyu immediately clasped his palms together and saluted: "Dao Chief, I'm disturbed." ”

"Who is your master?"

"Daoist Yuan Xuan."

"Well, I can't imagine that Daoist Yuan Xuan can still teach a disciple like you, rare, rare!"

"Disciple Yu Guanzi, may I ask what the chief is called?"

"Calm down with a clear and empty view."

Zhou Ziyu saw that the Taoist chief saw through his origin at once, and he didn't dare to hide it, and he would answer all questions, but who knew that this Taoist chief was the famous Pingding Taoist.

Before Li Yuan ascended the throne, he went to Taiyuan to present his orders to Li Yuan, and after returning to Zhongnan Mountain, he pretended to use the remarks of the Tao Te Ching to create a wide momentum for him in Chang'an, saying that the descendants of Laojun were born in Anbang is the hope of the people.

Uncle Yuqing and Zhou Ziyu were influenced by the remarks of the Taoist Governor of Pingding, and then defected to Li Yuan.

"Today, I was able to see the real person of the Taoist of Pingding, which is really a blessing for three lives." Zhou Ziyu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed respectfully: "The head of the Dao of Pingding is above, please accept the disciple's worship." ”

"Listen to you just shouting outside the cave, who else is with you?"

"It's my junior sister, when she saw this cypress tree, she said that she was the king of trees, and asked her disciple to help take a little rhizome to make a medicine guide."

"Do medicine?"

"Yes, my junior sister opened a new Xinglin Garden in Chang'an City, and wants to use the medical skills she has learned to help the world."

"It's amazing, the person who can recognize the king of the tree must be able to come to the doctor."

"Senior sister's master is the Jade Void Daoist, and the junior sister has studied medical skills for three years in retreat with the ancestor Sun Shengshou."

The head of the Pingding Dao didn't feel strange at all: "The one who can recognize this is the Tree King, and only Sun Shengshou is the one." ”

"Does the Taoist of Pingding recognize Sun Shengshou?"

"Hehe, how can you not understand the reason. I have also seen his disciples. ”

Zhou Ziyu looked up in amazement: "Daoist Pingding, have you seen Jin'er?" ”

Daoist Pingding squinted slightly: "Well, that kid was born to practice medicine, and his qualifications are amazing." ”

When Zhou Ziyu heard that the Taoist of Pingding had such a high evaluation of Jin'er, she was overjoyed and a little helpless: "It's a pity that Jin'er is a girl, and if she wants to practice medicine with peace of mind and benefit the world, there are still many inconveniences." ”

The Taoist chief of Pingding scolded softly: "If it is for the benefit of the people, how can it be divided between men and women!" Princess Pingyang is also a woman, and she also contributes to my dynasty and does not lose to men. ”

Zhou Ziyu listened carefully.

The Taoist of Pingding continued: "Like that Sun Shengshou, his medical skills are world-famous, but he is sheltered in the mountains and forests. If it weren't for the fact that he had taught a good apprentice and was full of learning, it wouldn't be like the jade at the bottom of the mountain, worth ten thousand gold, even if it was priceless, what was the use! ”

Zhou Ziyu agreed with the words of the Taoist Commander Pingding very much in his heart, but he didn't dare to take over the conversation, just listened quietly.

The Taoist of Pingding said a few words and looked at Zhou Ziyu: "Your junior sister opened Xinglin Garden, what about you, what are you doing?" ”

Zhou Ziyu said: "The disciple is waiting for the dispatch in the Qin Palace. ”

"Oh?" The Taoist chief of Pingding moved: "Then you don't stay in the Qin Palace, what medicinal herbs did you come to pick from your junior sister?" This was ordered by the King of Qin? ”

Zhou Ziyu's brain seemed to have opened up, and he told his troubles to the Taoist of Pingding: "The disciple and the junior sister have been in love for a long time, and they want to take care of the junior sister for a lifetime, so that she can be the holy hand of the apricot forest with peace of mind. It's just that there are also people in the palace who take a fancy to the junior sister, and the disciple can't do it for a while, so he has to go up the mountain to ask the ancestor to be the master of the junior sister, and promise the junior sister to me. ”

He tried his best to be euphemistic, but the Taoist still understood that this was the royal family's medical skills that he had taken a fancy to:

"According to what you say, as a woman, it is indeed a little more difficult than others to have peerless medical skills. However, "the Taoist chief's words changed: "The matter is man-made." If you have the intention to do something, and it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, God will definitely help this person a lot. ”

When Zhou Ziyu heard this, the Taoist Chief of Pingding was nodding, and hurriedly kowtowed again: "Please make it clear to the Taoist of Pingding!" ”

Daoist Pingding smiled slightly: "If you go to find that Sun Shengshou, he will definitely persuade your junior sister to take refuge in Zhongnan Mountain, or leave Chang'an City far away, and marry an ordinary family to live a stable life." ”

Zhou Ziyu was stunned: "Huh? How good is that? ”

"Come here." The Taoist chief of Pingding took out a bag: "There is a talisman here, if someone wants to include your junior sister in the back house, you can take this talisman and go directly to ask the emperor for his holy grace." ”

Zhou Ziyu knelt down and took two steps, took the bag, and kowtowed again: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

The Taoist of Pingding looked at Zhou Ziyu fixedly: "Your face is round and Zhouzheng, and you are the blessed appearance of a prosperous wife." Your junior sister is a strange person, and she will be able to bring good news to my people, and you will have to live a good life to worship. ”

Zhou Ziyu was secretly happy in his heart: "Yes, the disciple obeys the order." ”

The chief of the Pingding Dao closed his eyes: "Okay, it's almost done, you go out, don't mention to anyone that you have seen me." ”
