39. Visiting friends

Mrs. Tao has not had much contact with Yunqing, but from that short time together, she also feels good about Yunqing, although she does not have the keen vision of Xu Zhifu, but she is not an ordinary ignorant woman, the housewife carefully cultivated by the big family, the knowledge and ability that should be all online, of course, you can also see that Yunqing is extraordinary, so she followed her husband's pace, and was very happy to be good friends with Yunqing.

"The Cloud Daoist has always been low-key, and he doesn't like to associate with too many people, if I invite someone to the Xuanzhen Temple, will it make a noise to the Daoist?" Mrs. Tao had other concerns.

Governor Xu said: "You tell them that Yun Dao Chang likes to be quiet, and those who are interested will not bother." ”

Mrs. Tao nodded and said: "I know, I will tell them, but you also have to check this Zhang Tong sentence, his concubine's brother dares to be so arrogant, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, so he does not cultivate personal morality, who knows if he is an official or not, don't you know if there is anything wrong with the law, if it comes out in the future, it will affect you, who is an official, isn't it very wronged?" ”

Xu Zhifu is a man, and there are inevitably two concubines in the family, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhang Tong's judgment, but what Mrs. said is not unreasonable, and after a while, she should go down, and feel that it is good to check it out, and it is better to prevent problems before they happen, no problem is the best, and problems can be found and solved early.

So Yunqing received a letter from Mrs. Tao, and made an appointment to receive the lady group of Hangzhou Mansion, Mrs. Tao invited the highest status, is the wife of the governor Zhou, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu is over forty years old, but the maintenance is excellent, she and Mrs. Tao are still distant cousins, Governor Zhou wants to give Xu Zhifu face, Mrs. Liu naturally gets along well with Mrs. Tao, the two are affectionate, chatting about the education of children at home, talking about fashionable jewelry and cosmetics, the atmosphere is not harmonious.

Yunqing, as the host, accompanied the incense, and gave them tea, she knew Mrs. Tao's intentions, and was unwilling to live up to her kindness, so she diagnosed everyone's pulse, these ladies usually pay attention to the way of maintenance, and the body is well maintained, but no one is sick, so Yunqing generously gave out a lot of solid Peiyuan and beauty pills, although the medicinal materials used are ordinary, but she is refining with spiritual power, the effect is extraordinary, no matter what the future friendship is, there is no harm in getting a good relationship first.

After this incident, Yun Qingcai brought up the matter that she was going out to collect medicine again, and when she said goodbye to Daoist Yu, Daoist Yu asked puzzledly: "Xiaoyou is not short of money, what medicinal materials do you want, just go to the medicinal herb shop to buy them, why do you have to go and collect them in person?" ”

Yun Qing said with a smile: "Many precious medicinal materials are in the deep mountains and old forests or in dangerous places, ordinary medicine pickers are limited, and many places cannot be visited, and some medicinal materials have no place to buy, so I can only find them myself."

Yu Daochang was stunned, so he didn't say much, let her go out with confidence, the Taoist temple had her everything, Yun Qing thanked him, packed the package, refused the request of Wang Xin and others to follow, traveled lightly, and went out.

Yun Qing had a clear goal, rushed straight to Xianxia Mountain, came to the foot of Yaowang Mountain, took out a messenger paper crane, after entering spiritual power, the paper crane flew into the forest, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, a man wearing a cyan big-sleeved Confucian shirt floated in, and when he saw Yun Qing, he greeted him with his chin: "Yun Daoyou came from afar, please go to the cold house to talk about it." ”

Yun Qing smiled and greeted, "How are Daoyou doing?" I haven't seen you for many days, and the demeanor of Taoist friends is better than in the past, and my cultivation has also improved, congratulations! ”

This person's surname is He Mingheng, the word Sihua, he is the same as Yunqing, belongs to the line of cultivation, and walks the way of cultivating the mind and seeking truth, which is different from ordinary Taoist priests, so there is no Taoist number, when he told Yunxi that Yunqing is the Taoist number, in fact, this is the name of her previous life, just like she walked outside in the costume of a Taoist, all to save trouble, He Sihua is similar to her, don't look at the clothes he is wearing now, he will also do some disguise after going down the mountain, not this dress.

He Sihua is relatively cold, doesn't like to talk, and has no expression, even if Yun Qing congratulates him, he just nodded slightly, whispered "um", and then didn't say a word, and took Yun Qing to his seclusion.

The residence of people like them is protected by formations on the periphery, and the valley where Yunqing grew up is also there, and He Sihua's residence is no exception, the difference is only in the ability of the people who set up the formation, He Sihua is a monk with a heritage, and the mountain protection array is very exquisite, but Yunqing is quite accomplished with the formation, as long as she observes it carefully, it is not difficult to crack it, but she is friends with He Sihua, without the permission of her friends, she will not study other people's formations, and do this kind of thing that harms others and herself, so she only glanced at it, and stared down at the road under her feet, Follow He Sihua into the valley.

The valley where He Sihua lives in seclusion is not big, only a few fields have been opened, seasonal crops and vegetables are planted, more than a dozen fruit trees are scattered and scattered, there are a few wooden houses on the north side of the valley, and another person is waiting in front of the house, seeing Yunqing, he smiled crampedly, and He Sihua let her into the house together, brought out a plate of dried fruit and pastries, poured tea, and sat on the side.

He Sihua introduced the two: "Yunqing Daoyou, the descendant of Yinxian Valley; Qiao Yanqiu Qiao Daoyou, the heir of Tianjimen. ”

Tianjimen is good at the art of deduction, Yun Qing has also learned similar techniques, and has the heart to discuss with him, by the way, they can also confirm what they have learned, but when they meet for the first time, it is not good to speak rashly, so they only said hello, Qiao Yanqiu smiled, picked up the teacup and let the tea, Yunqing drank a cup with him, and he didn't move.

The three of them sat for a while, but no one spoke, He Sihua was already cold, and it was delusional to expect him to have a lotus tongue, but Qiao Yanqiu had been silent, so Yun Qing couldn't get it right, so she had to find a topic and ask them: "I have never been out of the valley before, and I don't know much about the current cultivation world, can you introduce me to it?" ”

He Sihua paused and said, "Talents are withering, cultivation is difficult, and there are less than fifty fellow practitioners. ”

Qiao Yanqiu took out a book from the storage bag and handed it to Yun Qing, and said softly, "Here you go." ”

Yun Qing took it and asked in surprise, "Gave it to me?" Qiao Yanqiu nodded, Yun Qing noticed that this person was unusually silent, and did not force him to open the golden mouth again, only opened the book and read it by himself.

The book is not thick, only two hundred pages, nearly one-third is still blank, there is content, it is a portrait, next to the introduction with a fly's head in small letters, more than half of the portrait next to it, with a red pen marked with the words "feathered", Yun Qing quickly flipped through it, and saw himself on the penultimate page, the portrait is freehand style, and the appearance and temperament have eight points of likeness, I can't help but look at the past strangely, wondering what is going on.
