Meng Xiuyuan took Qiao Sanhuai and his wife on the way, and they all took spacious official roads, so they didn't encounter any dangers and twists along the way.

It's just that this road can't be said to be smooth sailing, and as soon as I entered the Jiangnan territory, I came to trouble.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife may have been tired of traveling and driving, or they were not accustomed to the water and soil, and they fell ill one after another on the road.

Meng Xiuyuan hurriedly helped them get through the pulse and push blood through the palace, but unfortunately, his true qi was not omnipotent after all.

Although the "Healing Chapter" in the "Nine Yin True Scripture" can cure internal injuries, it can't cure diseases, and this body of Northern Darkness True Qi in this life, although it is wonderful and domineering, but compared with the pure Yang True Qi that integrates the innate yang energy of the human body in the previous life, it also has a lot less vitality.

Therefore, even if Meng Xiuyuan sent true qi to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife three times in the morning, noon and evening, it only lifted their spirits and strengthened their bodies, but it could not eradicate the pain on their bodies.

When Meng Xiuyuan used his true qi to check their internal organs and meridians all over his body, he only saw that the two of them had weakened organs and weak righteous qi, but he could see what the specific illness was.

Meng Xiuyuan's medical knowledge in his previous life had almost forgotten it, and he didn't dare to try it on the second elder, so he had to stop and seek medical treatment when passing through the town along the way, and hire a famous local doctor to diagnose the old couple.

After several doctors read it, they gave similar diagnoses, saying that the old couple worked too hard when they were young and couldn't eat enough, so that their bodies were weak and their diseases were deeply buried.

When you are old now, you will not be able to return to external evils, and once you have been tired and changed the water and soil, it is easy to lead out the old diseases and crush the body.

There is no miracle medicine to cure such a disease, and it has to be treated with decoction for a long time, supplemented by cultivation and rest, in order to repair the body little by little.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he didn't dare to let the two of them work anymore, so he stayed in a town for the time being and rested for more than half a month.

After the condition of the old couple was about to improve, Meng Xiuyuan thought about continuing to set off and find a good place for the two of them to really recuperate.

Originally, Meng Xiuyuan's plan was to take Qiao Sanhuai and his wife to Hangzhou and Shaoxing, where the economy is prosperous, the environment is stable, there are no well-known bandits, and it is rare to see the Jianghu sects vendetta against each other, which is a very suitable place for retirement.

It's just that now it seems that since Qiao Sanhuai and his wife are not suitable for long-distance travel, it is not bad to stop in Wuxi and Suzhou.

In this way, Meng Xiuyuan took his wife to Wuxi City first, and placed the two of them in the inn to recuperate and rest.

In a few days, Meng Xiuyuan invited a famous local doctor in Wuxi to treat Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, although the diagnosis was expensive, the diagnosis that could be given was no different from the previous doctors, and even the prescription was just a few more precious and rare medicinal materials, and he didn't dare to say that he could cure the body of the second elder.

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan relieved his heart, and only felt that it was not an incurable disease.

As for this problem of physical deficiency and deep disease, we can only wait for the husband and wife to get a little better, and then teach them the set of physical fitness methods that they passed down to Zhu Yuanzhang's family in their previous lives, and let them practice as soon as possible.

Although the two of them are too old, the effect of practicing this kung fu may not be as good as that of young people, but with Meng Xiuyuan's help from time to time, supplemented by medicine and nourishment, I think they may be able to slowly adjust their bodies.

After another half a month like this, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife's health gradually improved, and the symptoms were temporarily eliminated, so Meng Xiuyuan took the two of them to take a good walk outside Wuxi City and experience the prosperity of this big city.

For these two peasant families who were born and raised at the foot of Shaomuro Mountain all their lives, and have hardly ever entered the city, this experience is very novel.

Eating in the Songhe Tower and rowing on the Taihu Lake, although the old couple always said that they would not let Meng Xiuyuan break the bank, the smile on their faces could not be faked, and they were obviously enjoying it.

It's just that after a long time like this, the two of them quickly joined forces to put pressure on Meng Xiuyuan, and they didn't want to live in Wuxi City anymore.

First, everything in Wuxi City is expensive, and Meng Xiuyuan always tries to arrange the best for the two of them, so every meal and those delicacies make the two of them feel distressed, and staying in the upper room of the inn every night makes them even more uncomfortable.

It's enjoyment, but it's also torture.

Moreover, the city of Wuxi is bustling with pedestrians, too prosperous, and I still feel novel when I first come, but after a long time, it is a little too noisy for the couple who live in a small village all year round.

Moreover, the two of them don't understand the tone of the Wuxi people's speech, and they can't help but feel upset and irritable after listening to it too much.

After Meng Xiuyuan heard their thoughts, he did not rush to persuade them, but thought about it carefully, and felt that what the old couple said was indeed reasonable.

Although he has a lot of silver on his body at this time, he wants to buy a good house in this prosperous and wealthy city of Wuxi, but it is not enough, and he can't let the old couple stay in the inn all the time.

Moreover, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife had just been ill, and they really needed to recuperate.

After considering the two phases, they should still arrange a suitable residence for the two of them outside Wuxi.

In this way, Meng Xiuyuan asked them to help introduce him, and at the same time, he also began to look around near Wuxi City to see if there were any houses and courtyards that were more suitable for the old couple to live in.

It's a pity that after ten days, I found either the house was not satisfied, or the environment was not satisfied, and it was difficult to be perfect.

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh that buying a house was really not easy in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he needed to invest some time and energy in it.

Until this day, when Meng Xiuyuan was exploring the environment around Wuxi, he flew by light skills and accidentally walked into an inconspicuous hill.

At the beginning, Meng Xiuyuan only saw that the surrounding environment was good, and wanted to find out if there were people and whether there were any houses for sale, but when he went a little deeper, he suddenly smelled a sweet and pleasant fragrance of flowers.

You know, at this time, it is close to the end of the year, and most of the flowers have already gone, and even if there are ones that are blooming now, they will never be sweet and fragrant.

Meng Xiuyuan felt surprised in his heart, so he followed the fragrance of flowers and went straight to the depths of the mountain, and sure enough, he saw a brilliant sea of flowers.

There are several delicate small houses surrounded by a sea of flowers, and the brick walls of the houses are also decorated with various color pieces, which are commensurate with this sea of flowers and are very beautiful.

Obviously, the owner here must be a beautiful and careful person.

Meng Xiuyuan stopped to admire for a moment, then turned around and left, not wanting to disturb the master here.

But he didn't want to, as soon as he took a few steps, he saw a woman in her thirties, elegant and beautiful, walking from the direction of the mountain and bumping into him head-on.

Before the woman approached, there was a burst of elegant floral fragrance on her body, similar to the smell of the surrounding flowers, but it seemed to have something more.

Meng Xiuyuan was originally afraid that it was poisonous, so he secretly used his true qi to block his heart, lungs, and pulses, but after a while, he only felt refreshed, obviously there was no poison in the fragrance of flowers.

And the woman was also very vigilant when she saw Meng Xiuyuan, although she saw that Meng Xiuyuan was handsome and upright, she didn't look like a villain, but she still frowned and asked:

"Childe, I don't know what happened when you lingered at my door?"

Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, and explained to the beautiful woman:

"Your Excellency, don't blame, I just happened to walk to the nearby mountains and smell the fragrance of flowers......"

But he didn't want to, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the woman:

"Childe, I advise you to tell the truth, don't fight with me.

In this mountain, I cast the Qimen Dunjia array, ordinary people can't find it even if they want to, how can you 'justly' walk in? ”

As she spoke, the beautiful woman had inadvertently pulled her sleeve, obviously there was something hidden in the sleeve robe, as long as Meng Xiuyuan said something wrong, Xu Shi would turn her face and do it.

Meng Xiuyuan was very wronged when he heard this, and couldn't help but groan:

"Qimen Dunjia Array...... Is there one? ”

He was in a hurry just now, and he used his true qi to exert his light skills with all his strength, and flew straight through the branches and leaves of the woods, and he didn't see if there was any Qimen Dunjia formation in this jungle at all.

When the beautiful woman saw Meng Xiuyuan "pretending" like this, she didn't want to tell the truth, and she only felt very bad in her heart, thinking that maybe the enemy had come to the door.

It's just that she didn't dare to be very sure, so after thinking for a moment, she put the hidden weapon in her sleeve back for the time being, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Childe, although I see that you don't look like a wicked person, but your behavior is too suspicious, I still want to give you a try......"

Before the words fell, the beautiful woman stretched out a jade hand and grabbed it towards Meng Xiuyuan's chest, making it skillful, obviously trying to force Meng Xiuyuan to make a move, so as to see his martial arts path clearly.

And Meng Xiu saw her make a move, originally thinking that he had disturbed other people's secluded homes, and he didn't want to entangle more, so he wanted to turn around and leave.

But he didn't want to, when this beautiful woman reached out and grabbed it, her techniques were changeable, and Meng Xiuyuan was very familiar, which actually reminded him of the "Tianshan Folding Plum Hand" of the Xiaoyao School.

Of course, this woman's kung fu is far less profound and subtle than "Tianshan Folding Plum Hands", but there are some shadows in it, which makes people feel as if they are somewhat related.

Meng Xiuyuan has been reincarnated for thirty years, and he can't remember many of the plots in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, so he couldn't determine the identity of the woman in front of him for a while, so he had to shake his body, retreat two feet away, and asked the woman tentatively:

"Your Excellency is using the kung fu of the Loose Sect?

Who is your master? ”

When the woman heard the three words "Carefree School", she first trembled, and then instantly turned into an angry look, and shouted at Meng Xiuyuan:

"Hmph, why are you pretending to be a freelance faction when you can name it?!

I didn't expect that the disciple of the old monster of the stars would be able to find me here.

It seems that even I, a weak woman who was expelled from the school, are still unwilling to let go......"

As she spoke, the woman's sleeves waved, and a strong fragrance rushed towards Meng Xiuyuan, obviously using some kind of drug poison powder.

Meng Xiuyuan was already on guard in his heart, and when he saw this, he immediately waved his hand and blew it away with the palm wind. However, Meng Xiuyuan didn't continue to make a move, because the other party's words made him vaguely remember something:

"Old Monster of the Stars...... Expulsion from the Division...... Are you a disciple of Su Xinghe? ”

"Presumptuous, how dare you call ......"

The woman thought that the person in front of her was a disciple of the old immortal of the stars, but when she heard him call her master's name and mess up her seniority, she couldn't help but be very angry. But before the words could be fully spoken, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly took out a gem ring and shook it in front of her:

"Do you recognize this?"

The woman was stunned at first when she saw the jewel ring, and then stared at it silently for a long time, her face full of disbelief.

"You ......"

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan had roughly confirmed the identity of the other party, so he wanted to clarify the matter as soon as possible. Therefore, before the woman could finish speaking, he replied first:

"Don't worry, I didn't snatch or pick up this ring.

It's Senior Brother Wuyazi, who passed this ring to me ......"

While speaking, Meng Xiuyuan in order to stop misunderstanding the other party, when he even made a "Tianshan Folding Plum Hand", he saw that his right hand was fluttering and changing, and more than a dozen flowers of various colors within a radius of one zhang around him rose from the sky, and slowly fell into his hands, integrating into a bunch.

When the beautiful woman saw Meng Xiuyuan performing such a fairy-like kung fu, she no longer had any doubts in her heart, and immediately knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Meng Xiuyuan "Dong Dong Dong" and said:

"Shi Qinglu, I have seen the head of the family.

Qinglu has eyes and no beads, and I hope that my uncle will punish her! ”

Seeing this, Meng Xiu shook his head with a smile, and hurriedly waved his hand to help her up.

"You're welcome, that's what I recognized.

Shi Qinglu...... You should be the 'Flower Saint' among Su Xinghe's eight disciples.

Your master mentioned you to me, and I should have thought of it a long time ago. ”

Shi Qinglu was very pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but take a few steps in front of Meng Xiuyuan, knelt down and kowtowed a few times before he stood up and said:

"Uncle Shi, I don't dare to bear the name of 'Flower Saint'.

Master passed on my flower cultivation skills, and I learned less than two or three percent at most, where can I dare to call it a saint.

However, Master, his old man, still remember the eight of us?!

It's great, it's so good......"

Seeing this, Meng Xiu shook his head secretly in his heart. Su Xinghe actually didn't mention this Shi Qinglu, nor did he mention that he had accepted any disciples.

During the time when he was in the valley of deafness and dumbness, Su Xinghe had always been cautious in front of Meng Xiuyuan, and he didn't dare to say more at all, but just served him and Wuyazi wholeheartedly.

Even if he occasionally held back a few words, he just couldn't help but ask about Wu Yazi's physical condition, how could he have the heart to mention that he had a few disciples who had been expelled from the school.

It was Meng Xiuyuan who suddenly remembered that in the original book, Su Xinghe had eight disciples called "Eight Friends of Hangu", whose martial arts were not too high and their appearances were not much, but they were all quite interesting.

Shi Qinglu didn't know this kind of joint, and after listening to Meng Xiuyuan's words, he thought that the master still remembered his eight brothers and sisters, and he couldn't help but be so happy that he couldn't help it, and his pretty face and cheeks were slightly red.

After a while, she gradually calmed down and respectfully invited Meng Xiuyuan into her room to drink tea.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he didn't refuse, but he kept looking around at a few houses in this valley, and he only felt that the environment here was quiet and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, and it was really a good place.

After entering the house, Shi Qinglu greeted him, and soon two maids walked out of the back hall and brought Meng Xiuyuan a cup of flower tea. And Shi Qinglu stood respectfully beside Meng Xiuyuan, without any intention of sitting down together.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu was not polite to Shi Qinglu, took a slight sip of this fragrant and refreshing tea, and then asked:

"Mrs. Shi, I ask you to do something for me, I don't know if it's okay?

When it's done, I'll teach you something to repay you. ”

Shi Qinglu's knees weakened when he heard the sound, and he immediately wanted to kneel down again, but he was supported by Meng Xiuyuan in time. She had to hurriedly bow down again, and said respectfully to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Uncle Ancestor, I'm not married yet, just call me Qinglu.

If you have any orders, please do not be polite.

Qinglu has a place to serve the master, and it is an honor, and I dare not ask for anything in return.

Moreover, Master has already expelled the eight of us from the Master's Gate, and I call you Uncle Shizu, which is an arrogance.

I can't learn the magic skills of the Carefree School anymore. ”

Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, and said to this Shi Qinglu:

"Miss Shi, there's no need to be too polite, I just showed this ring just now to let you not misunderstand that I am an enemy, not to call you as the head of the Loose Sect.

As for your expulsion from the division, after I have cleaned up Ding Chunqiu and cleaned up the portal, I will tell Su Xinghe about it for you.

I think that when the time comes, without the pressure of that traitor, he must be willing to officially admit the eight of you into the door again. ”

When Shi Qinglu heard this, hearing that Meng Xiuyuan wanted to deal with the thief Ding Chunqiu, and was willing to help intercede for the eight of them to return to the master, his heart was very excited for a while, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

It's just that she understood that Meng Xiuyuan didn't like the etiquette too much, so she didn't kneel again, but hurriedly said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"The kindness of the head of the family and the uncle is difficult to repay.

Whatever you have to say, please ask the boss to show it.

The dew is a broken bone, and it will definitely be done! ”

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, and said to her with a smile:

"It's not that serious, I just heard that among the eight of you, there is a divine doctor named Xue Muhua, nicknamed 'Enemy of Hades'.

I want you to help me find him.

I have two respected elders in my family, who have not been in good health recently, and I would like to ask him to help me recuperate. ”

When Shi Qinglu heard this, he only felt that Meng Xiuyuan, the senior uncle and ancestor, was too polite, so he hurriedly waved his hand and replied:

"You want to find my fifth brother, what is this matter, let alone 'please'.

As long as I go to page, his legs are broken at the moment, and he will definitely crawl and come immediately to meet you, the head of the family. ”

Saying that, Shi Qinglu immediately arranged for his maids to bring the cloak and bags, and arranged for someone to take care of Meng Xiuyuan, and he was about to set off immediately.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu was far away, and the disciples of the Secret Dao Sect were not as good as the others, but they were quite respectful of their teachers.

After thinking about it for a while, Meng Xiuyuan finally made up his mind, stopped Shi Qinglu, who was about to go out, and said with a smile:

"That's right, Miss Stone.

I see that you have a quiet environment and fragrant flowers, which is a good place for recuperation and rest.

I wonder if I can borrow your treasure land and let my two elders live for a while?

It would be better if you could let me buy you a house or two in the mountains. ”
