What Li Zhen was holding in his hand was the jade pendant that Gao Yanfu gave him at the beginning, and Jiuzhi and Xiao Xi knew each other, and they immediately cheered excitedly.

Jiuzhi slapped himself twice and scolded: "I'm such a fool, I actually forgot this thing, now we can be saved!"

Although Xiao Xi was not present at the time, he heard Li Zhen talk about it afterwards, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and muttered: "Bodhisattva bless." ”

Yan Xiao was confused when she heard this, and finally she couldn't help but say, "Don't get excited, tell me, what's going on with this jade pendant?"

Li Zhen asked her, "Do you know Gao Yanfu?"

"Of course, I know that he is the most trusted eunuch of the Holy Lord, and he is extremely powerful in the divine capital. ”

Yan Xiao suddenly reacted, "Could it be that this is the jade pendant he gave you?"

Li Zhen nodded, "At the beginning of the year, when he came to Dunhuang, he was attacked by a wild wolf on the way, we happened to pass by and saved his life, this is the jade pendant he gave me, saying that if I have any difficulties, I can go to Luoyang to find him." ”

Jiu Zhi said next to him: "I was also present at the time, and Grandpa Gao said to Lao Li, I didn't thank him for my kindness, so I gave him this jade pendant, and my golden dagger was also given by him, so I knew that I also wanted a jade pendant." ”

Yan Xiao took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, she laughed, "It seems that God really cares about you, maybe Gao Yanfu can really settle this matter, don't you know! Gao Yanfu is recommended by Wu Chengsi to the saint, and in some kind of Cheng dù, he is actually Wu Chenghe's person." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Zhen asked with a smile, "How does Miss Yan know so much?"

Yan Xiao's face was slightly red, fortunately, the night was thick, and Li Zhen couldn't see it, Yan Xiao got up and said, "Since that's the case, we'll come out now, the longer this matter drags on, the more troublesome it will be." ”

Li Zhen also got up and asked, "Do you want to go directly to Luoyang now?"

Yan Xiao pointed slightly, "Where is this Yao Shaolang going, going back to Zhangye or going with you?"

Xiao Xiao sighed and said: "The fat brother will definitely not go to Zhangye, I can help if I take care of my body." I'm going to Luoyang too, Miss Yan, please call me Xiaoxiao!"

Yan Xiao glanced at Li Zhen again, Li Zhen nodded, "Since they don't want to go to Zhangye, let's go to Luoyang together." ”

Yan Xiao immediately decided, "Okay, let's go to Zhongnan Mountain first." ”

"What are you going to do in Zhongnan Mountain?" Li Zhen was stunned.

Yan Xiao shook his head, "It's really inexperienced, it's a thousand miles away to Luoyang, and there must be a lot of wanted notices for your bounties along the way, maybe you can go around the city, but can you pass Tongguan?

Li Zhen laughed, "I understand, let's go to Hanzhong first, then to Nanyang, and finally take a detour to Luoyang, Miss Yan, I'm right!"

Yan Xiao glared at him angrily, "It's another guy who thinks he's smart!"

She didn't bother to pay attention to Li Zhen anymore, picked up her sword and walked out, "Let's go! ”

Zhongnan Mountain is located in the middle of the Qinling Mountains, where thousands of peaks are stacked and green, the scenery is beautiful, it has been known as the reputation of the immortal capital since ancient times, countless sages and scholars live in seclusion here, some people cultivate immortals and seek immortality, some people cultivate morality, and seek inner peace.

The four of them went all the way south, and entered the territory of Lantian County in the early morning of the next day, the terrain gradually increased, and a reckless mountain appeared in the distance, which was Zhongnan Mountain.

Lantian County is also the entrance to the Meridian Valley of the Qinling Mountains, which has steep mountains and many valleys, and is also the concentration of hermits in Zhongnan.

At this time, Li Zhen finally understood Yan Xiao's purpose of coming to Zhongnanshan.

"Miss Yan, are you coming to Zhongnan Mountain to find Master?" Li Zhen asked tentatively, walking side by side with her.

"Almost! But it's not my master, it's my aunt, and she's been living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain for ten years. ”

It turned out to be Yan Xiao's aunt, Li Zhen couldn't help but be curious about her, her swordsmanship and light skills are very skillful, she should be famous, who is her master?

The people walked for most of the day, and at dusk they finally entered a large mountain pass, in which there was a small village, self-sufficient and free from the world.

"We're here!"

Yan Xiao led everyone to a small courtyard, the yard was very small, a very low fence was built with branches, the small courtyard was full of all kinds of herbs, two large purple and gold gourds were hung under the eaves, and the medicine hoe and medicine basket were placed at the door.

"Auntie, are you at home?"

Yan Xiao shouted for a long time, but then an old woman's voice came from behind them, "Is it Ah Yan?"

Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to see an old Taoist girl standing not far behind them, who looked almost sixty years old, although she was full of silver, but her face was ruddy, and her spirit was very strong, she was very thin, half a head shorter than Xiaoxiao, but she was carrying a large medicine box, which looked quite funny.

"Auntie!"

Yan Xiao jumped up happily, flew over like a bird, grabbed the old Daogu's hand, and shook it coquettishly, "Senior Aunt, did you think that I would come?"

"You little girl, there are outsiders next to you!"

The old Dao aunt had no choice but to take her, and glanced at Li Zhen and the three of them again, "Are they all your friends?"

"Sort of, Auntie, I'm going to trouble you again. ”

"Have you caused me less trouble? Let's go! ”

Yan Xiao said a few words to the old Dao Gu, the old Dao Gu was stunned, looked at Xiao Xi, looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"

"Back to my aunt, my name is Yao Xi, and my aunt calls me Xiaoxiao. ”

Xiao Xi hurriedly stepped forward to get the medicine box for her, and the old Dao Gu nodded with a smile, "Well! ”

Everyone entered the house, the old Daogu only had three thatched huts, two of which were full of various herbs, and the other was her guest hall and bedroom, which was also a place for consultation, and everyone could see that the old Daogu was a healer.

Yan Xiao whispered to Li Zhen: "My uncle is the apprentice of the famous doctor Sun Simiao, who has been bringing treatment to the villagers in Guanzhong, and my aunt's medical skills are also learned from him. ”

Li Zhen nodded, he understood what Yan Xiao said to his aunt just now, it's okay! Let Xiao Xi recuperate here, and then go to Luoyang after recuperating from his injury, Li Zhen smiled and said, "Your aunt seems to have a bit of fate with Xiao Xizhen." ”

I saw that in the room, the old Dao Gu was asking Xiao Xi for something, Xiao Xi respectfully lowered her hand and replied, the old Dao Gu took a few herbs and asked him, Xiao Xiao's answer seemed to make the old Dao Gu very satisfied.

Yan Xiao was also a little surprised in her heart, although she entrusted her aunt, but her aunt generally does not pay so much attention to outsiders, especially people of unknown origin, at most, let Xiao Xi stay, it is really a bit strange to see the situation in front of her.

In fact, Li Zhen knew very well in his heart that Xiao Xi was a little monk in the past, and he had been studying medicine with Master Lingyin, the presiding officer of Dayun Temple, and was going around to diagnose and treat disaster victims, so of course the old Dao Gu would have a little fate with him.

At this time, the old Taoist aunt instructed Yan Xiao: "It's not early, Ah Yan, you go and cook! There is some wheat in the next room, and some mountain ferns and wild vegetables." ”

Yan Xiao hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior aunt, we have dry food, just soak it in water." ”

"That's fine, you go boil some hot water, and I'll have to tidy up a room for a couple of kids to sleep on. ”

The old Dao Gu went to tidy up the grass house, Li Zhen stepped forward and asked Xiao Xi in a low voice, "What did she tell you?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled: "She is really good, she even saw that I can heal, and asked me how I used to help the plague victims, I told her one by one, and she said that our method of isolating patients is very good." ”

At this time, the voice of the old Taoist aunt came from the grass house, "Xiaoxi, please help me!"

"Hey!"

Xiao Xi hurriedly walked over, and the old Taoist pointed to the herbs in the room, and smiled kindly: "These are all herbs that the mountain people helped me pick, some of the medicines are too long and can no longer be used, you help me separate them." ”

"Auntie, let me come!"

Xiao Xi walked into the grass hut and sat down, smelled and discerned the medicine carefully, and distinguished them very carefully, he was originally a very well-behaved little monk, his father's death hit him very hard, and the kindness and kindness of the old Taoist aunt actually made him feel a trace of attachment in his heart,

Li Zhen stood aside and watched silently, he could feel the subtle changes in Xiaoxi's heart, which was also what he expected.

Li Zhen glanced back at Yan Xiao who was boiling water, and couldn't help but be very grateful to her, Yan Xiao was very careful, she knew how to place Xiao Xi, so she brought Xiao Xiao to Aunt Zhong Nanshan, one of her careful actions may really change Xiao Xiao's life.

The life in the small mountain village is very hard and plain, usually only coarse tea and light rice, but the old Daogu is respected by the mountain people, they see that there are guests in her house, so they have sent prepared cured meat and fresh mountain fruits, so that Li Zhen and they have a very good game feast.

At night, everyone sat in front of the fire, and after listening to Li Zhen's account calmly, she knew that Li Zhen and the others had become the murderers wanted by the government and offering a reward.

"The relics were originally sacred relics of the Pure Land, but they have become the target of the rights holders, openly and secretly, and even at the expense of killing, it is really a sin! You can rest assured, the government is not wanted here, I have never seen tolerance here for decades, I like this child very much, just stay and help me for a few days!"

Xiao Xi hurriedly knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to the old Dao Gu three times, he knew that his body was too weak to help Li Zhen for a while, and he was willing to cultivate here for a while.

Old Daogu smiled, "I originally stipulated that there was no meat here, only wild vegetables and coarse wheat, but Xiaoxiao had to replenish the body, and this rule was temporarily broken, child, your body is thin because you have eaten too lightly and your blood is insufficient, I hope I can help you make up for it as much as possible." ”

Jiu Zhi hurriedly took out dozens of Sogdian gold coins, and he was about to hand them to the old Daogu, Li Zhen was startled and hurriedly stopped him, and the old Daogu smiled: "It's okay, I really need to buy something, and I will ask the mountain people to go to Lantian County to bring it back in two days." ”

The old Taoist aunt smiled at Li Zhen and said: "Don't think that I am an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world, my grandfather was the Xiangguo of the Great Sui Dynasty, and my father was a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, I have never seen any wealth and wealth? I am here just to seek inner peace, not to cultivate immortals." ”

Li Zhen was a little embarrassed, so he no longer stopped Jiuzhi from giving the old Daogu gold coins, but he was very curious, who were the grandfather and father of the old Daogu?

Early the next morning, Li Zhen and the three of them said goodbye to the old Daogu and Xiao Xi, and Xiao Xi gave them a ride, and he said to Li Zhen: "Brother Zhen, I will recuperate here for a few days, and when my health is a little better, I will come to Luoyang to find you." ”

Li Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can cultivate here with peace of mind, and then learn medical skills from your aunt, although you can't practice martial arts, I hope you can become a generation of famous doctors, Luoyang actually has nothing to do, just ask Gao Yanfu to get rid of our crimes, I will come to see you again, in a word, you don't have to rush to Luoyang to find us." ”

Xiao Xi nodded silently
