When Li Che woke up, he only felt that his whole body was in pain, and every muscle and bone in his body seemed to be pricked by needles, and the huge pain distorted his cheeks. Looking up, I saw a simple bed not far away, and Zhao Qian was lying on that bed, and he was also looking up at him, "You're awake, Che'er." ”

"Master, are you alright?" Li Che burst into tears, "It's really good that you're okay." Struggling to get off the ground, he limped to Zhao Gan's collapse and held Zhao Gan's hand. Zhao Qian is also in tears at the moment, both the master and apprentice are in great trouble, their eyes are blurred, and they are full of emotion.

"You're all awake, it's okay. A crisp voice came.

Li Che turned his head to look, it was Gong Liu, and he saw her, her face was pale, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were slightly red. "You've been taking care of us?" Li Che asked, "Didn't you take a break?"

"I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, your master and apprentice will be separated forever. ”

"Thank you, thank you Gong Liu" Li Che hugged Gong Liu, tears and saliva rubbed on Gong Liu's clothes, and muttered in his mouth, "Thank you, thank you." ”

When Gong Liu saw him hugging him, he was stunned at first, and then his cheeks turned crimson, and he stood in place at a loss. Li Che didn't care about it, tears soaked Gong Liu's clothes, Gong Liu pushed him away, his face was crimson, and he pretended to be angry: "Your clothes are all dirty for you, I hate it." I just bought it newly. ”

Li Che burst into tears and smiled, "I'll buy you new ones, buy a lot of what you like." ”

"Whoever asked you to buy it, I'll buy it myself. ”

"Miss Gongliu, thank you for saving my old bones from that devil's hands. Zhao Qian struggled to sit up, touching his tears with his hands.

"Old man, don't be so polite, it's my generation's duty to eliminate demons. Gong Liu said, "But old man, how could you get involved with the corpse demon?"

"Yes, Master, how could you have anything to do with this corpse demon? I thought your old man had gone into the outer path of demons. Li Che choked up.

"It's a long story, 40 years ago, I went to the countryside to Xinjiang, just under the Kunlun Mountains, as a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, I don't have to do farm work, the organization let me follow the militia to villages everywhere every day to see the people. ”

Zhao Gan tried hard to recall those past events, "At that time, the conditions were poor, and many local people were forced to carry them when they were sick, let alone seeing a doctor, or they had never even heard the word doctor." I was just thirty years old, it was determined to hang the pot to help the world, every time I met a person who was sick, I used all my strength to cure him, and it was also a good skill left by my ancestors, basically most of the patients I saw were cured, and the local people called me a living Bodhisattva. However, there is a patient who is an exception, his name is Azijia, is a villager of Gulatu, I heard the villagers who came to me say, Azijia went to Kunlun Mountain pilgrimage, but when he came back, he got a strange disease, just shouted cold, the fire at home was blazing, a few quilts covered still shouted cold, I listened to the villagers at the time, the first reaction was that the wind was cold, evil into the body, only need to use warm medicine and acupuncture to get better, so I didn't care. ”

Zhao Qian paused for a moment and sighed: "Unexpectedly, this visit has changed my life and made me suffer this inhuman pain for the past forty years. Zhao Gan continued: "The villagers took me and the militia to Azijia's house, this Aqijia was originally from Orion, the family conditions are not bad, at least the family has meat to eat, this illness, the pillars of the family are gone, the whole family can't open the pot, thanks to the help of the people in the village, barely starved to death." When we arrived at Azija's house, we saw that he was covered with three quilts, and a pot of charcoal was placed near his head and feet, and Azija's whole body was wrapped in the quilt, leaving not even a gap. I asked about the symptoms carefully, and it was basically the same as the description of the villager who came to ask me. Kunlun Mountain is called the sacred mountain in the local area, the local people have to go on a pilgrimage every year, pray for the protection of the sacred mountain, Aqijia hunts on weekdays and climbs high and descends the abyss, has been to many places in this Kunlun Mountain, this pilgrimage did not take the pilgrimage road that the locals often walk, but took a different path to take a road that no one has ever walked. ”

"This Azijia is also a master of the arts, he encountered an ice cave on the way to the pilgrimage, curiosity drove Azijia to find out, the drama Azijia said, he walked into this ice cave as if he walked into another world, the green grass is fragrant, the corridor is simply a fairy place, Azijia is naturally happy, thinking that this is where the mountain god is, respectfully worship three times and knock nine knocks, said a bunch of blessing words, then quietly retreated, returned home and began to be cold, the heart only as if he was angry with the mountain god, so he did not mention a word about this pilgrimage, but the family thought that he was in the evil spirit, invited a few local lamas to preach, but did not see the effectAt first, I only thought that he was suffering from the cold, poured two bowls of ginger soup, and still did not sweat, so I used a needle in the moxibustion foot Taiyin meridian, a needle down, only to feel a cold air from the silver needle from between my fingers directly into the body, I did not think so at the time, continued to pierce a few more cold acupuncture points for Azijia in the Zu Taiyin meridian, but half an hour that Azijia actually got better, only to treat me as a bodhisattva, kneeling and kowtowing. ”

"It's also my life, hey!" Zhao Qian sighed deeply and continued: "Then Azijia pulled me aside, saying that in order to repay me for saving the people, he wanted to tell me a secret, so he told me what he saw on the pilgrimage to the ice cave, I was shocked, I couldn't believe that there would be such a place in this 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain, and asked Azijia to take me to see it after he recovered from his injury. But Azija didn't want to go again, saying that she was afraid of angering the gods, and after some discussion, Azija agreed to take me there, but when I went inside, I could only see it, and I couldn't touch the things inside. I was selfish and didn't tell anyone about this time, only me and Azija knew. ”

"After Azijia completely recovered, I took the excuse of follow-up to go to Azijia's house again and made an appointment with Azijia to enter the mountain early the next morning. When I returned to the battalion, I asked the leader for leave and said that I was not feeling well, and that I would go around tomorrow as if I was going around by myself, and that I did not need to be accompanied by a militia comrade. The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly light, I set off, and at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, I made an appointment with Azijia, and saw Azijia from a distance, wearing a wolfskin jacket, carrying a shotgun, and carrying a hunting dog. The hound walked ahead, and Azijia and I followed, all the way to the top of Kunlun Mountain. ”

Zhao Gan paused, with a yearning expression on his face, "Kunlun Mountain is really beautiful, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting." In that kind of place, you can only feel the insignificance of people, the career of a lifetime, the emotions of joy, anger and sorrow, are just like a wisp of smoke. Zhao Gan's eyes flickered, he suddenly came back to his senses, and coughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted, it's not good when I'm old." After walking for about half a day, Azija suddenly paused, pointed ahead and said that this is the ice cave of the mountain god. I looked intently, and saw a hole high and low by one person, and there was nothing unusual, so I walked quickly towards the hole, and my heart was overflowing with joy. ”
