Chapter 5 Washing the muscles and cutting the marrow

Hearing Gao's words, although it was a little surprising, it was reasonable to think about it.

"Rotten and obedient."

Emperor Ren saw that he promised to watch the prince take it, and nodded happily, with him watching, the prince will definitely be able to successfully wash the muscles and marrow, and when the time comes, practicing the "Imperial Family Neijing" will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, "Okay, I promise you, as long as the prince takes the next medicine safely, I will not only forgive you without sin, but I can choose other medicines in the palace as you like." ”

Thinking about it, it can be regarded as a bit of compensation, and he will bow down and thank him for his words, "Old decay, thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

According to the requirements of words and deeds, the imperial dining room sent three buckets of water, two buckets of cold water, and one bucket of warm water.

By the time Xiao Zheng was taken to Fuze Palace, everything was ready.

Yan Bixing looked at Xiao Zheng who walked in, and nodded with a smile, "The root bone is good, and it should be more outstanding after washing the muscles and cutting the marrow." ”

In fact, he didn't know what the effect of the Jade Pond Golden Lotus was in washing the muscles and marrow, the legend was so, but no one had ever seen it.

Xiao Zheng looked at everyone blankly, not knowing what Emperor Ren asked him to do.

Emperor Ren beckoned to him, "Zheng'er, come here." Then pointed to the words must be done, "This is the holy doctor of words, my father invited him to wash your muscles and marrow, and in the future, you can get twice the result with half the effort when you practice martial arts, and become a real martial arts master." ”

Xiao Zheng nodded happily, "Well, thank you, father, the child must practice hard and strive to share his father's worries as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Ren touched Xiao Zheng's head, "Zheng'er, then you will listen to the words of the holy doctor, and your father is waiting outside the door." Then he nodded and walked out the door.

Words must be done, stepped forward and took Xiao Zheng's hand, "Your Highness, there may be some pain later, you have to bear with it." ”

Then Grandpa Gao opened the box and handed the pill to Xiao Zheng, "Your Highness, take it." ”

Xiao Zheng took the transparent pill, didn't think much about it, opened his mouth and put it in his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a pool of jade water, which ran down Xiao Zheng's throat and into his abdomen.

At first, Xiao Zheng felt quite comfortable, but gradually his body began to heat up a little, "Father-in-law Gao, this king is a little hot~"

When Gonggong Gao heard Xiao Zheng's words, he glanced at Yan Bixing, and quickly stripped off his clothes, "Your Highness, I have offended~" and then lifted his body and put it into the bucket of cold water next to him.

Gonggong Gao looked at Xiao Zheng at a loss, and said to him softly, "Your Highness, don't be nervous, just follow the guidance of the scriptures." ”

"Hmm~"

Xiao Zheng closed his eyes, and felt that starting from the dantian, the heat slowly flowed, along the muscles and bones, penetrating little by little, from warm to hot, as if to melt his bones. The pain also began to slowly increase.

The cold water in the bucket also began to slowly gain temperature, from cold at first, to cool, then to warm, and now it began to show signs of boiling.

Xiao Zheng felt that the muscles and bones of his body were slowly melting, the pores had opened, and the pain had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, "Ah~"

Looking at his painful expression, Gonggong Gao hurriedly reminded, "Your Highness must be patient for a moment, don't think too much, just run the scriptures!" ”

Emperor Ren outside the door listened to Xiao Zheng's heart-rending cry, took a deep breath, and continued to wait quietly outside the door.

The words were already sprinkled with medicinal powder in another bucket of cold water and stirred with bamboo sticks.

The water in Xiao Zheng's bucket at this moment had begun to boil, and the air was filled with a fishy smell along with the dirt and blood gushing out of his body.

Seeing that the time had come, he nodded to Gonggong Gao. Gao Gonggong used his hands to hold up Xiao Zheng, and gently put it into the bucket of cold water full of potion.

Xiao Zheng left the hot sewage and entered the cold water bucket, and instantly felt extremely comfortable. But before he could experience the comfort, the sharp pain penetrated into his real body again.

It was as if thin needles were piercing every pore of his body, and the holes that had been draining sewage just now were now pouring in a trace of medicinal powder. The muscles and bones that I felt melted just now began to slowly condense together with the entry of the medicinal powder, becoming hard.

The residual warmth of the body made the icy cold water boil again. Unlike just now, there is no dirt in the bucket, and the water that has become cloudy with the powder has gradually become transparent.

When there was no trace of medicinal powder in the water, a smile appeared on his solemn face, and he nodded to Gonggong Gao, "It's okay~"

Father-in-law Gao also breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile, he lifted Xiao Zheng into another bucket filled with warm water.

Xiao Zheng felt comfortable again, and this time the comfort did not disappear. While he was exercising, he experienced this floating feeling, and the dantian began to beat slightly.

This is the feeling of the formation of the true qi that Gao Gonggong told him, he was pleasantly surprised to feel the changes in his body, and the true qi was also slowly circulating in the body, and he was reluctant to stop for a moment.

Gonggong Gao looked at everything in front of him, and turned around lightly to go out, "Your Majesty, the washing of the muscles and marrow has been completed, just wait for His Highness to absorb the medicinal effect, and it will be done." ”

When Emperor Ren heard his father-in-law's report, he nodded slowly and looked at the deep night sky, full of stars and black clouds, full of hope.

Standing outside the door, this wait is four hours, and the longer the wait, the better the absorption of the medicinal effect, and the happier Emperor Ren will be. It was also the first time he felt that waiting could be so mysterious and not tiring.

The time had passed, and Xiao Zhengcai slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity. Opening his eyes, he slowly stood up, looking at the almost transparent body, like a human-shaped night pearl, emitting a faint light in the night.

Just when he felt incredible, the four of them had already walked up to him. Seeing the changes in his body, he sighed that the Jade Pond Golden Lotus was really magical, and it was incredible that it could make people's bodies change so much.

Looking at the eyes of the four people staring at him, Xiao Zheng immediately felt shy, and immediately retracted into the water.

Several people laughed at the same time when they saw him holding his shoulders.

When Xiao Zheng got dressed and hurriedly came out to report his feelings to Emperor Ren, he happily spread his arms, "Father, Erchen feels that his whole body is not relaxed, as if every pore can breathe on its own, it's great~"

Emperor Ren touched his head with satisfaction, "It's good to be happy, practice well in the future, and you will definitely gain something." Then he turned to look at Yan Bixing, "I want to thank the Holy Doctor Yan."

Words must be done with a smile and bowed, "The old man doesn't dare, it is also a great honor to be able to witness such a magical scene." ”

"I also hope that the Holy Doctor will keep it a secret, and I don't want anyone else to know about it."

Words and deeds depend on Emperor Ren's solemn explanation, and naturally he will not refuse, "Your Majesty, rest assured, after the old man goes back, he will announce his retirement from the rivers and lakes, and he will never reveal this matter to anyone!" ”

"Okay," Emperor Ren turned his head to look at Li Yilong, "Li Aiqing wants to personally send the Yan Shengyi into the valley, and there must be no slackness." ”

Li Yilong naturally knew Emperor Ren's intentions: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will definitely protect the safety of the Holy Doctor." ”

"Hmm~ Take the Holy Doctor to the Imperial Doctor's Workshop to choose medicines, as long as he likes them, he can take them away."

Emperor Jianren did not forget the promise just now, and he put down the worry of being wiped out and bowed down to retire.

Emperor Ren looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and took Xiao Zheng's hand, "Zheng'er, my father believes that this must be the arrangement of the ancestors, and you will have to practice martial arts diligently in the future, don't lose this opportunity!" ”

Seven years later.

Qingyun Peak is lush and green, everywhere is filled with vigorous weather, on the Qixia Ridge on the top of this peak stands this Taoist temple, the name is called "Linglong View", it is said that the view has been nearly 1,400 years, although it is far away, it has gone through all the vicissitudes of life, the wind and rain invaded, still can not see the mottled breath.

The Taoist temple is not open to the world, although there are often hunters on Qingyun Peak to hunt beasts, but the ridge is very strong, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb to the top, so the world only knows that there is a Linglong view, but does not know the specific location, even if it is under the ridge, it is difficult to see through the trees at the end of this mountain, so gradually only the legend remains.

Legend has it that the Linglong view was established when Yu ruled the country, and there are only three or two descendants in each generation, maintaining the incense in the view.

At this moment, under the pine tree in the view, there are three people sitting, two people dressed as Taoist priests are playing chess, and a person in ordinary clothes is watching chess, the three people are of the same age, probably at the age of the weak crown, and they are in a daze at the chess game.

"It's hard to be a draw again, it's incredible, it's all six games of chess..."

"Haha... What's incredible about this, two people with equal chess strength play chess is waiting for each other's mistakes to win, if both sides don't make mistakes, then it will be difficult to decide the winner, then it is naturally a draw, Xiao Chunzi, go to warm tea. My brother and I went to the pavilion for tea."

"Okay, Childe"

The young man named Xiao Chunzi went to be busy making tea, and only two young Taoist priests sitting opposite each other were left, the two looked at each other and smiled, got up, and walked towards the pavilion in the distance.

"Senior brother, have you figured out when to go down the mountain?"

"It's just these two days, it's been seven years, and I'm really reluctant to leave."

"If you are reluctant to leave, someone will demolish the Taoist temple, haha..."

"That's not it, no matter what my father says, he is also a Mingjun, at most, he will let people kidnap me, haha..."

"Haha... I'm afraid there aren't many people who can kidnap you now, right? ”

"It's really hard to say in the martial arts, there are still a lot of masters in this world, but there should be no more than one person in the court who can kidnap me, but it's not necessarily, the master said, those who can easily make people see the depth are not considered masters."

"Yes, it's been two years since the master left us, and I don't know where the master is now"

"I don't know where to go, the master in this world can go anywhere, and no one can stop him, so we don't have to worry, the master said that we will definitely meet in the future."

"That's right, haha..."

The two said as they walked, and when they were close to the pavilion, Xiao Chunzi was already making tea. Seeing the two coming, Xiao Chunzi beckoned to greet him, "Unruly senior brother, are you still drinking tea before the rain today?"

"Let's take it, I'll just take this bite"

"Okay, right away"

The two sat down with each other, and in the blink of an eye, the tea was ready.

"Uninhibited brother, please use tea, Childe, this is yours"

"Okay, I have to try Xiao Chunzi's craftsmanship, when you go down the mountain, I have to make my own tea and drink, this heat is still good for Xiao Chunzi"

"Hehe, the uninhibited senior brother has won the award, there is no him, but he is familiar with it."

"Yo, I'm still dragging the above words, haha"

"Hey, hey..."

The three of them watched the sunset gradually set, drank tea gently, and did not speak again, as if they were cherishing this rare tranquility. Finally, the young Taoist priest broke the silence of the three of them, "Senior brother, are you really not going down the mountain with me?" ”

"This Taoist temple still has to be guarded, the master said, the incense is unbreakable, and when the master finds a little junior brother, I will definitely go down the mountain to find you, look at the Kyushu rivers and mountains of Dayu, and also follow you to enjoy the wealth, haha..."

"I'm afraid that the master will find a little sister, and you won't be willing to go down the mountain~haha~"

"If you want to say that, I'm really looking forward to the master's return as soon as possible." Jokes aside, they really miss their masters.

"Well, I don't know when the master will come back?"

"Maybe he'll come back as soon as you get off the mountain."

"Well, I hope so, I hope he comes back soon!"

At night, the young Taoist stood alone on the top of the mountain, listening to the whirring wind in his ears, recalling the scenes of the past seven years, feeling like in a dream, after experiencing that opportunity, he went out of the palace to play during the Lantern Festival, and met the master by the river, and then he didn't know what the master said to his father, and was said to be moved, and then he took Xiao Chunzi to the Qingyun Peak Qixia Ridge, practicing martial arts, practicing qi, playing chess, and Xiangdao, feeling calm but extraordinary, because he could feel a little bit of the accumulation of true qi in his body, expanding, Then the Seven Apertures slowly became more sensitive, which he couldn't feel when he practiced the Imperial Family's internal breath before, maybe it could be a coincidence, but his intuition told him that all this was not so simple. Master Dao number "Chance", his name is given by the ancestor, he has been waiting for an opportunity all his life, until seven years ago he went to Beijing to travel and met himself, and gave the Dao number "extraordinary".

The seven-year appointment has arrived, but in fact, the master has already finished teaching what he has learned two years ago. Maybe it's for a seven-year agreement, or maybe I don't want to leave this tranquility, because once you go down the mountain, it means entering the double chaos of rivers and lakes and courts. This is a burden that has to be carried, there is no choice, he has to face it.

The day before yesterday, he had already received a flying pigeon from Gao Gonggong (named Xiao Fu seven years ago by Emperor Ren), as if to remind him that it was time to go home.
