Volume 1 Night Walk Chapter 17 The Adults of the Inn (2)
The Wind Pulling Temple is just outside the town of Langke, not far away, Liu Guzhou could go when he was a child, but he never went once.
Nothing else, it's just that in this era when Buddhism is prevalent, Liu Guzhou doesn't have a lot of feelings about Buddhism.
The temple is not big, there are more than 30 monks in total, fortunately, the incense is vigorous, the temple is repaired every year, the golden body is reshaped every year, and even the red paint on the gate has to be repainted every once in a while.
Walking to the gate of the Wind Temple, Longqiu Taoxi suddenly said: "It seems that there is a fight in Rotten Ke Town, it is estimated that Third Uncle Song is back, should we go to help?" ”
Liu Guzhou shook his head, "Don't worry about it for now, let's go to the temple and take a look." ”
In the middle of the night, Liu Guzhou waved his hand and knocked on the mountain gate of the Wind Temple.
The abbot of the temple seemed to have known that Liu Guzhou was coming, so he opened the door in just a moment, folded his hands in front of Liu Guzhou, recited the Buddha's name, and then asked: "The donor is here to make fun of the things left by the elder Meidao?" ”
Liu Guzhou opened his mouth and said: "I haven't given it, I haven't given it, I can't afford the word donor, the abbot only needs to take me to Qi Xiaomei's former residence." ”
The abbot did not care about the disrespect between the young people's words, but led the two into the temple and slowly walked to the back of the temple.
Along the way, Liu Guzhou saw many poems written on the boulder or on the wall.
Longqiu Taoxi looked at the poems on the wall and read: "The green tree begins to shake the fragrance, and the fragrance is not a leaf." A leaf is a spring breeze, and the fragrance is self-connected. ”
Liu Guzhou pouted and said: "Stuffy gourd writing, don't look at him as a stuffy gourd, but the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all incomprehensible, when I was a child, I learned the piano for a few days, and he tuned the piano for me." ”
Longqiu Taoxi was surprised: "He still has this ability?" ”
The abbot smiled and said, "In the early years, our majesty was called the Eight Friends together with the other seven literati, so naturally there are some outstanding features. ”
Longqiu Taoxi stammered: "This is the civil and military shuangquan of the Eight Classics!" ”
Martial arts glazed body, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all comprehensible, this is not both civil and military?
After a while, I walked to the backyard, and a thatched house was Qi Xiaomei's residence.
The abbot said softly: "It's not that the Wind Temple doesn't give Xiaomei Dao a good place to live, it's really his immortal wind bones, but he thinks that my temple has too much dust, so it's better for him to make a house." ”
Liu Guzhou nodded, pushed open the door and walked in.
The abbot stood outside the house and said with a smile: "The Taoist chief told you not to open the door unless you are a donor, so no one has ever entered the house in the past year." ”
Longqiu Taoxi followed, and at a glance, he thought that Qi Dao chief was really a "poor road"!
There is only a wooden couch, a water tank, a square table, three chairs, a teapot and three tea bowls on the table, one of which is full of tea.
Liu Guzhou pursed his lips, "What a bull's nose, it's really accurate." Let's sit down and have tea. ”
The two of them sat down separately, and the two empty tea bowls on the table were filled in an instant.
Liu Guzhou picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, and four words came out of the table, "Don't believe me? ”
Liu Guzhou stiffened his face, and said in his heart that this is not a master in the world.
Seeing this, Longqiu Taoxi also picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, and four words appeared on the table, "Hello girl." ”
Longqiu Taoxi rolled his eyes and pouted: "Let's say that his brain is not good, he calculated that I would come." ”
Liu Guzhou simply got up and kicked over the table.
As a result, four words appeared out of thin air under the table, "This is you!" ”
Longqiu Taoxi looked puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
The corners of Liu Guzhou's mouth twitched, and he said softly: "Since I was a child, I would kick over his table as soon as I passed his hexagram stall. ”
The words at the bottom of the table slowly disappeared, and a white cloth bag appeared out of thin air and was suspended in front of Liu Guzhou. At this moment, eight words appeared out of thin air at the bottom of the table, "Your mother gave it, run quickly." ”
Outside the house, the abbot recited the Buddha's name and said softly: "There are not many plants and trees in the world, all the ways are the fate of the law, the donor, and the shore is the back." ”
Liu Guzhou frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Damn! Little money fans, let's run quickly! ”
Longqiu Taoxikou read Taohuawu, the long sword behind his back was instantly unsheathed, the girl grabbed the young man, and the sword broke through the thatched hut and fled eastward.
There was a middle-aged man in the rear who was single-handedly behind, and chased after the wind.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Young Master Liu, today's tofu brain is just right for salt, and it is also sprinkled with chili noodles." ”
Liu Guzhou turned around and shouted in the air: "Lao Wang, you want to kill me fucking too?" Have you forgotten who gave you the reputation of your shop? ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "Of course I remember, so I don't plan to kill you." ”
Longqiu Taoxi asked, "Isn't this the tofu brain seller opposite the hexagram stall?" How did you turn your head and become a monk on the stairs! A broken town, as for it? ”
Seeing that the middle-aged man was getting closer and closer, Liu Guzhou said with a sad face: "Uncle Wang, there was no grudge in the past, and there is no hatred today, are you there?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I really don't blame me, Qi Xiaomei has already sealed my memory and cultivation, it was Young Master Liu who entered the Wind Temple, and I recovered my memory and cultivation!" ”
A black long sword struck like a black lightning bolt in an instant, the middle-aged man dodged sideways, and Song Xin then came with his head in his hand.
Song Xin looked at Liu Guzhou and scolded: "Stinky boy, don't say goodbye to me?" Forget it, you just have to go to your rivers and lakes, and when you go home one day, someone at the inn will light up the lights for you. ”
Liu Guzhou was slightly stunned, but the speed of the sword was extremely fast, and he couldn't see Song Xin in an instant.
In the sea of clouds, Song Xin spit out a mouthful of blood and scolded: "Grandma, I haven't fought for many years, and my hand is raw." ”
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "General Song, you know that I am also for the stability of the world. ”
Song Xin held a gun in one hand, pointed the tip of the gun at the middle-aged man, and said indifferently: "In the world, I have already saved once, and that time I lost my country." This time, I chose to protect my own children. What's more, how do you know that Qi Xiaomei chose the wrong person? Anyway, I don't think I made the wrong choice. ”
The middle-aged man frowned and said in a deep voice: "You have already fallen into the tenth realm, and your seriously injured body can stop me?" ”
Song Xin snorted and pouted: "Lao Tzu's millions of demon clans have stopped you, what are you?" ”
……
Until dawn, the sword was thousands of miles away from Qiaojun at this moment, Longqiu Taoxi's face was pale, and finally he couldn't support it, and his legs suddenly weakened, and he slowly carried it down.
Liu Guzhou has not yet refined Qingxi, and he can't command this long sword that has not yet reached the rank of immortal soldier. There was no way, he could only hug Longqiu Taoxi and push her above him, intending to make a meat pad with himself.
When he was about to land, the runes on the sword body of Taohuawu suddenly flickered, and a gentle sword qi was released from Taohuawu, slowing down the landing speed of the two of them, but they fell from a height of thousands of zhang, and Liu Guzhou still fainted.
About half an hour ago, there was an eight or nine-year-old child carrying a basket and a firewood knife in his hand, presumably going up the mountain to collect medicine.
The boy was jumping, and suddenly he saw the two people overlapping, and he was immediately startled.
The boy turned his head and ran, at first it was a girl running wildly, but he ran and ran, his steps became slower and slower, and finally he stopped directly, looked at the two from afar, and then gritted his teeth and ran back wildly.
Stretching out his hand and shaking Liu Guzhou, the boy shouted, "Hey! Alive? Alive? ”
After a shake, Liu Guzhou woke up suddenly.
The boy's face was happy, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." ”
Where can Liu Guzhou take care of him? Slowly picked up Longqiu Taoxi and put it aside, poured out a pill from the wine gourd and fed it into Longqiu Taoxi's mouth with wine, and then he let out a long breath.
Turning his head to see the boy, Liu Guzhou grinned: "Thank you, can you tell me where this is?" ”
As he spoke, Liu Guzhou picked up Qingxi and put the peach blossom dock back into the scabbard.
The boy hadn't noticed that there was a guy on this person, and when he saw it, he hurriedly took a few steps back, extremely vigilant.
Liu Guzhou smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." ”
When the boy saw Liu Guzhou's warm smile, he also let down his guard and said softly: "Huaidong County, Hushan County, Great Qi Country, in the mountains. ”
Liu Guzhou smiled dumbly, and said softly: "It's already the Great Liang Country now, don't you know?" ”
The boy shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't been out of the village, Mishan Town is dozens of miles away from our village, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and the Pulshui River often has big floods, so no one in the village goes out." ”
Liu Guzhou nodded and asked, "Then what are you doing up the mountain?" ”
The boy thought for a while, crossed his fingers and said, "My sister is sick, Uncle Ge asked me to go up the mountain to dig bupleurum, ginseng, banxia, skullcap, licorice, go back and add ginger and jujubes, and boil water for my sister to drink." ”
When Liu Guzhou heard this, he smiled and said, "Let me guess, is your sister cold and hot, unable to eat, nausea and vomiting, and bitter mouth and dry throat?" ”
Song Xin's medical books Liu Guzhou have long been rotten, and the medicine that this kid said is obviously the old recipe, Xiao Chai Hu Tang in "Treatise on Typhoid Fever"!
The little boy looked surprised, "Yes, yes, it's exactly the same as you said, how do you know?" ”
Liu Guzhou smiled: "I'm Langzhong, of course I know." You wait for a while, when this sister wakes up, we will accompany you to collect medicine, so that you don't know that you picked the wrong medicine when you get it. ”
As he spoke, Longqiu Taoxi had already woken up with his head covered, and it was estimated that the pill had worked.
She transmitted Liu Guzhou's voice and said softly: "You obviously have medicine in your gourd, why do you let children pick medicine." ”
Liu Guzhou just said: "It's impossible for me to leave a basket of pills, right?" At that time, teach him a few prescriptions, at least if he has an ordinary headache and brain fever, he can go up the mountain to collect medicine by himself. ”
The little boy was surprised: "Woke up so soon? ”
Longqiu Taoxi grinned and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The little boy said softly: "The surname is Xu, and his name is Zhicai." ”
Longqiu Taoxi nodded and said softly: "Xu Zhicai, wait for us for a while, and then take you to pick medicine?" ”
Xu Zhicai nodded immediately, he still wanted to take this brother Langzhong back to the village to see his sister's illness.
Longqiu Taoxi sat down cross-legged, ran the aura to breathe, and while transmitting the voice to Liu Guzhou, he asked: "I haven't chased after me yet, it is estimated that Third Uncle Song has stopped that person." No one has appeared until now, and it is estimated that ......"
Liu Guzhou answered: "I guess I'm not mistaken, the adults in my family in the inn are trying to lure some people away from their hometowns one after another." ”
The adults of the inn, none of them are unreliable.
Longqiu Taoxi asked again, "What's in that white bag?" ”
Liu Guzhou was silent for a moment and said, "One side of the seal is engraved with six words. ”
Longqiu Taoxi frowned, and Liu Guzhou said: "Out of Yang Valley, it is divided into nine rivers." ”
