Chapter 20: Confession by the Suzaku Bridge
Wang Zhen took Qingxu back to Ji Yaxuan's residence, helped Qingxu clean the wound in the courtyard, stopped the nosebleed, and then bandaged it with medicine, and then applied gold sore medicine to the wound on his left shoulder.
Qingxu looked around, and Wang Zhen joked: "It's good here, right?" Quiet in the middle of nowhere. Qingxu nodded and did not speak.
Wang Zhen took out two pots of wine and sat opposite Qingxu. The two touched the wine jug and drank a sip each, and Wang asked Qingxu: "Can the Taoist Commander tell me why he wants to help the Wudou Rice Sect now?" ”
Qingxu smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine before saying, "The reason is very vulgar, for money." There is a sick wife at home, who is a medicine jar, and she can get 30 taels of silver a month as a Dharma protector in the Wudoumi Sect. ”
Wang Qiandao: "For the sake of his wife, he is willing to work hard for the Wudou Rice Sect, which shows that the Taoist chief is a loving and righteous person." However, if it is just for money, how about introducing the Taoist to Jiankang Zhang, one of the four major families in Jiangnan, as a doorman? ”
Qingxu said: "I did things in the Wudou Rice Sect out of helplessness, not because I wanted to, and I couldn't kill my little brother tonight, and I wouldn't have a good time going back." If the little brother is willing to take a line if he doesn't remember his past suspicions, he should be grateful. ”
Wang Qiandao: "The Taoist is polite, it's just a gesture." The family giants recruit customers to protect the land and protect the industry, although they will also be involuntarily, but at least they don't have to do anything for the tiger and dirty their hands. Moreover, the Taoist can take Mrs. Zun with him, and maybe he can get better treatment, killing two birds with one stone. The Taoist chief just left his address, and as soon as there was news from there, I immediately went to inform him. ”
Qingxu said: "Then there is little brother Lao, I live next to Qingxi in the east of the city, and there is a gossip mirror hanging at the door." Wang Zhen nodded to indicate that he had written it down.
Qingxu took a sip of wine and asked Wang Qian: "The little brother's unique footwork makes me have no idea where to start, I don't know who to learn from?" ”
Wang Zhen cynically said: "I may not believe it when I say it." ”
Qingxu looked at Wang Zhen for a moment and said, "No, I believe it!" Your 'mortal womb' is different from ordinary people. ”
When Wang Zhen heard Qingxu say this, he told Qingxu about his experience of entering the fairyland by mistake and coming back a hundred years later.
Qingxu said enviously: "I have been cultivating for half a life, and others have been refining pills for a lifetime, just to seek an immortal fate." I didn't expect the little brother to be so blessed by not doing anything. I really envy me! ”
Wang Zhen smiled: "This is the first time I have told others about these experiences. Does the Taoist really believe it? ”
Qingxu said: "I have cultivated the Tao for half my life, why don't I believe it?" ”
Wang asked: "In this case, it is difficult to find a confidant, is the Taoist willing to marry me as a brother of the opposite sex?" ”
Qingxu smiled: "The little brother is witty and honest and reliable, there is a brother like this, I Qingxu naturally can't ask for it." ”
So, the two knelt on the ground, burned incense and prayed, and became brothers of the opposite sex. Although Wang Zhen was born before, Qingxu is older, so he still takes Qingxu as his brother and Wang Zhen as his younger brother.
After the two helped each other up, Wang asked, "What is the 'mortal fetus' that the eldest brother just said?" ”
Qingxu said: "'Mortal fetus' is a primordial god who is imprisoned by the body, and refining the 'mortal fetus' into a 'holy fetus' can be feathered and ascended to immortality." This is the doctrine of our Pure Meditation school. ”
Wang Zhen was puzzled and asked, "What is the Qingjing faction?" ”
Qingxu said: "There are three factions in the Five Bucket Rice Dao: one is the charm school that uses Taoist talismans and spells to borrow the power of immortals, among which Maoshan is the most outstanding, so it is also called Maoshan faction; the second is the Jindan faction that believes in the Jindan Sutra, the Chamber, and burns the Outer Dan; The third is the Qingjing school that advocates non-action for nature and cultivates Neidan. ”
Wang asked: "Big brother, are all those tricks of using runic water and pills to save people deceive?" ”
Qingxu said: "It is true that there is no elixir that can cure all diseases, but as long as the symptoms are right, Fu Shui and Dan can save people." It's like you're meeting an immortal, and it might seem like a joke to others. Because it's beyond their knowledge, or they don't know it and they believe that you can't meet it either. Also, the secret art is real, brother, be careful! ”
Wang Zhen nodded thoughtfully.
Qingxu got up and patted his clothes, and said: "Brother, because my brother is weak by nature, he doesn't like to interact with people, and he may snub his brother in the future, please don't be surprised." However, you and my brother have fellowship with our hearts, and if my brother has a place to be a brother in the future, even if he speaks, he will do his best for him. ”
Wang Zhen smiled: "Big brother, so is my brother." ”
Qingxu said: "Brother, it's not early, my brother is leaving, and I still have a sick wife to take care of at home." ”
Wang Zhen took out a hundred taels of silver ticket and stuffed it into Qingxu's hand, and said: "Big brother, this is a little bit of the younger brother's heart, to make up for his sister-in-law, big brother must not postpone it." "Qingxu pushed it, but I had to accept it.
After Qingxu left, Wang Zhen looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Xu and Ah Fu will not come back tonight." ”
The next day was the appointed day, and Wang Zhen got up before dawn. Wang Zhen was both excited and nervous, and he was not as nervous as he was now in the life-and-death duel with Qingxu yesterday. Wang Zhen didn't see Mr. Xu and Ah Fu come back after washing, so he left a note on the table to explain that he had something to do and would come back later. When Wang Zhen arrived at the Vermilion Bird Bridge, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the cool breeze was slow, so Wang Zhen sorted out his thoughts and organized his words in front of the Qinhuai River.
Suddenly, a gentle and beautiful voice sounded behind him: "Prince Wang is so early!" ”
Wang Zhen turned around, it turned out to be Xie Daoyun, and said happily: "I was afraid that the girl would wait, so I came early." ”
Xie Daoyun said: "It seems that we have all arrived early, and it is not yet time." The two looked at each other and smiled. Xie Daoyun, who is smiling in the early morning, is like a flower blooming with dew drops in the morning, which is so beautiful that it touches people's hearts. Wang Zhen looked at Xie Daoyun with excitement and forgot to speak.
Xie Daoyun turned slightly sideways to avoid Wang Qian's gaze, and said, "When Wang Gongzi sees me going to the appointment so happily, will he think that I am a frivolous woman?" ”
Wang Zhen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss Xie's willingness to go to the appointment as scheduled is a blessing that my Wang Zhen has cultivated in three lifetimes. Wang Zhen was very grateful in his heart, how could he think that the girl was frivolous? And I don't mean to meet a girl in the daytime, in a place where there are not many pedestrians. It's that I really have something in my heart that I want to say to Miss Xie alone. ”
Xie Daoyun turned around and looked at Wang Zhen's sincere gaze, knowing that what he said was true, his heart was warm and steady, and he smiled and waited for Wang Zhen to continue.
Wang Zhen continued: "The reunion on the day of the Midyear Festival is not only due to fate, but also the result of my hard work and God's mercy. The first time I saw her, I fell in love with her, and thought that I would see her again no matter what, so I rushed to the inn overnight and waited for her to come out. Then I inquired in the post house that the girl was from the Xie family of Chen County, and later came to Jiankang and successively found out that the girl's name was Xie Daoyun, and the family lived in Wuyi Lane, and the Happy Square was adjacent to Wuyi Lane, which was a place where the children of rich families often went to play. That's why I've been staying at the Joy Corner, hoping to meet the girl again one day. ”
