On the big banyan tree...

A dark shadow that could already be faintly seen in human form was sitting on the branch of a tree, looking up at the moon, swinging his legs, humming a song, very pleasant.

The two little larks were hiding in the nest, hooking their heads, looking curiously at the black shadow...

After singing the song, under the silver-gray moonlight, Liu Xi'e's ghost body that had not yet been fully condensed seemed to be condensed a little, and a little smile appeared on her face.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had sung.

When the well is dry, the cultivation is too low, and there are people around, so it is not good to sing;

After arriving at Taixuguan, the yin qi under the big banyan tree is much thicker than the dry well, and the original damaged cultivation has slowly come back, but she also knows that she is just staying in other people's Taoist temples to practice, and the main family is a small Taoist priest who does not go out of the mountain, so she is not good at disturbing other people's Qing cultivation.

Today, Zhang Xiuyuan went out of the mountain gate because of something, and she didn't come back at night, she thought that the other party would not come back.

coincided with the soft moonlight, and she was not afraid of disturbing others, recalling all kinds of her previous life, she hummed a song and chatted to entertain herself.

Looking at the empty and empty view, looking at the moon and starry night, she felt the ease and comfort she had never experienced.

What people, what ghosts, what practices, what troubles, all left behind.

'How nice it would be if we could keep doing this?' ’

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she hurriedly shook her head, thinking to herself: "I am just a lonely ghost and a ghost, or a lonely ghost under the fence. ’

Just when Liu Xiao'e was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a question from behind her: "Finished singing?" ”

She looked back only to find that out of the hazy night, a Taoist dressed in a cyan robe, with a lotus crown in his hair, and a sword in his hand, walked out.

Rao is that she has been in the drunken wind building before her death, and she has seen all kinds of handsome young talents, and she has to admit that this calf's nose is really attractive...

When she came back to her senses, she thought that she was annoying people by singing in the view, and Zhang Xiuyuan was here to hold her accountable, leaning up her neck and muttering, "I didn't know you would come back." ”

“……”

Zhang Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but after coming back to his senses, he didn't explain much, and asked: "It seems that Miss Liu's cultivation is quite smooth, and it seems that she is not far from condensing the ghost body?" ”

"It's coming."

Liu Xi'e originally thought that he was here to be held accountable, but when she heard the words, she thought that he was going to find out when he would condense his ghost body so that he could let himself go.

"Please rest assured, although I am a ghost, I am not a brazen ghost."

She said with a gloomy expression: "I will be able to completely condense the ghost body after another year and a half of cultivation, and I will leave without the Dao Master opening his mouth at that time." ”

“……”

Zhang Xiuyuan saw that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, and explained: "Poor Dao only asked casually, and he didn't mean anything else, and I hope that Miss Liu won't think too much." ”

Seeing that the female ghost seemed to be stunned, he muttered for a while, and said, "My master once said that cultivation is not a day's work, and you must not take too many steps and have too many thoughts. ”

"Don't take too many steps? Too many thoughts? ”

Liu Xi'e muttered and said disapprerovitically: "I wish I could cultivate into a ghost immortal in one day." ”

"That's easy to breed demonic thoughts."

Zhang Xiuyuan Zhengse admonished: "There is an ancient saying that if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster, and I believe that the same applies to practice. ”

“……”

Liu Xi'e looked at the bull's nose with a straight face, and felt a little funny, and quipped: "The Taoist chief went down the mountain today, why did he come back and have time to lecture me?" ”

"It doesn't help to preach..."

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head: "Poor Dao just thinks that cultivation is not child's play, and Miss Liu should take it seriously if she can have this kind of creation." ”

"Isn't cultivation child's play? Seriously? ”

Liu Xian'e couldn't help but feel a little distracted when she heard this, and after coming back to her senses, she asked with a smile: "I take it seriously, if I can't condense the ghost body for ten years, is the Taoist chief willing to let me practice here for ten years?" ”

"It's not about time."

Zhang Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Miss Liu wants to temporarily live here to practice until she condenses her ghost body, and Poor Dao also agreed to this." Since the agreement has been made, as long as Miss Liu has not condensed the ghost body, don't say that she has practiced here for ten years, it is also within the agreed scope of practicing here for a hundred years, why is the poor Dao unwilling? ”

“……”

Liu Xian'e looked at him in amazement, as if she wanted to find the word 'hypocrisy' from his face, but she looked left and right, but she couldn't find anything related to 'hypocrisy'.

Before her death, she made a living by singing in Fengyue places such as the Drunken Wind Building, and she saw a lot of hypocritical people, so she can be regarded as having a pair of ghost eyes that can distinguish the truth of people's words.

And today, for some reason, these ghost eyes don't seem to work......

Or...... It's true?

"Poor Dao just said it casually, Miss Liu doesn't need to care."

Zhang Xiuyuan also knew that it was taboo to make friends with shallow words, and now that he saw that she was distracted, he didn't want to say anything more, so he arched his hand and said, "Don't disturb Miss Liu's practice, and say goodbye." ”

Let's go to the backyard...

It's just that before he walked to the backyard, he seemed to suddenly think of something, stopped to look back, and said with a smile: "I forgot to say that when I came back, I heard Miss Liu humming a tune, so I didn't bother, so I listened to it at the mountain gate for a while." I have to say that Miss Liu's singing skills are really not bad. ”

“……”

Liu Xian'e also seemed to come back to her senses when she heard this, thinking that she had made a living by singing during her lifetime, and after her death, she was actually praised by a calf for her singing skills, and asked jokingly at the moment: "As an outsider, Dao Chang can still understand music?" ”

"I know a little bit about it..."

Zhang Xiuyuan explained: "When the poor Tao was not yet practiced, I often read miscellaneous books in the Guanzhong Jing Pavilion, and I was also involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. ”

"Oh......"

Liu Xi'e nodded thoughtfully, and before she could speak, she found that the little calf's nose had already walked into the backyard, leaving only one sentence: "There is no one else in the evening view, Miss Liu can sing if she wants to." ”

“……”

"Sing if you want to?"

"Maverick Nose would be so kind?"

Liu Xi'e's grimace, which had not yet fully manifested, was twisted into a ball, and she was stunned for a long time before she muttered in disbelief: "Hiss. . . This guy isn't trying to find an excuse to get me away, is he? ”

It's night, and it's quiet......

Early the next morning...

When Zhang Xiuyuan was practicing, he sorted out and summarized the means that ordinary people could use in the "Acupuncture Method", and after a week of practice, he spread paper and ink, and wrote with a pen.

Even if he doesn't have the friendship of the same family, he admires a doctor like Tong Yongzhou very much.

Now that Tong Yongzhou went to Beijing to go to Tai Hospital for reference, it is a foregone conclusion, and if he can, he naturally wants to help him avoid some detours.

There are more than ten kinds of acupuncture methods recorded in the "Acupuncture Method", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a complete collection of medical acupuncture.

Excerpt some of these methods that ordinary people can use and give them to Tong Yongzhou, with his understanding of medical Tao and many years of experience in practicing medicine, he will definitely be able to understand it thoroughly.

At that time, not to mention being famous, at least going to the Tai Hospital for reference can also give you a little more confidence and certainty.

This is also the temporary gift that Zhang Xiuyuan said!

Because the content of the "Acupuncture and Taoism" is extremely complex, for several days, except for practicing in the morning and washing inkstones and pens by the pool before resting at night, the rest of the time is basically excerpted and written at the desk.

And Liu Ji'e seemed to be scratched by a cat's claw, and she struggled for several days, but she couldn't figure out his 'true thoughts', and she didn't dare to sing.

finally had the courage to go to the backyard to investigate, but when he saw that he was immersed in books without distractions, he didn't dare to disturb him.

It made her uncomfortable.

Until the fourth day, Zhang Xiuyuan took an excerpt version of "Needle Performing Taoism" out of the Taoist Temple and went down the mountain, and she didn't dare to speak.

Outside the Tongjia Medical Center...

Two carriages stopped in front of the door, people in front of the car, and goods in the rear, in addition to Tong Yongzhou and An Jiuling's master and apprentice were moving things, there were also two wind and rain guards in brocade clothes waiting by the car.

When Zhang Xiuyuan came, they also happened to pack their luggage.

And the two wind and rain guards dressed in brocade saw that he was holding a sword weapon in his hand, and they glanced at him vigilantly, and when they saw that they were just 'no' cultivators, they didn't pay much attention to it.

An Jiuling's sharp eyes were the first to notice him, and he immediately pulled his master's sleeve and called, "Master, master, uncle is here!" ”

Zhang Xiuyuan arched his hand and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, I'm not too late, right?" ”

"Hahaha, it's not counted!"

Tong Yongzhou laughed heartily when he heard this, gave him a look and said, "The two military masters are urging tightly, so I won't invite you into the house for tea." ”

"Why bother?"

Zhang Xiuyuan smiled disapprovingly, and then took out the excerpt version of "Acupuncture and Taoism" from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand, seeing his puzzled expression, he smiled and said: "It's just a medical book, if you have leisure on the way to Beijing, you can read it and relieve your boredom." ”

“……”

Tong Yongzhou saw that the imparting salute that his junior brother said a few days ago was a medical book, and his face was also relaxed.

If it was something else, he might have shirked it, but in this medical book, there is no need to shirk.

"This gift, I accepted it with the cheekiness of a senior brother!"

He took the medical book into his arms, and turned to An Jiuling on the side and said: "Because the teacher is not at home, if you encounter any uncertain illness during the operation, you must consult with your uncle, everything is based on your uncle's words, you know?" ”

"The disciple knows."

An Jiuling nodded, and said with a straight face: "The disciple still understands the truth that human life is a matter of heaven. ”

"That'll do..."

Tong Yongzhou nodded, and then chatted with Zhang Xiuyuan for a while, and his words were full of reassurance and reluctance for his disciple.

Seeing that they had been chatting for a long time, the two wind and rain guards in brocade clothes were also a little impatient, and one of them urged with a frown: "Doctor Tong, if there is nothing to do, we should also set off." There were two other doctors in the city who also had to accompany them, so that they would not have to wait for a long time. ”

"Let's go."

Tong Yongzhou nodded in response, then glanced at An Jiuling and Zhang Xiuyuan, and sighed: "I should also go, let's talk about it in the future." ”

"Senior brother cherishes."

Zhang Xiuyuan also gave up his hand and quipped: "Don't worry about the road ahead, who in the world doesn't know you?" ”

"Hahahaha, borrow the auspicious words of my junior brother!"

Tong Yongzhou laughed heartily and got into the carriage, and saw two wind and rain guards in brocade clothes driving away, he opened the window on the carriage and waved his hand, but he did not show up.

On the contrary, a little girl with her hair tied in a bun poked her head out of the window, looked at An Jiuling reluctantly, and waved her little hand, as if saying goodbye.

Seeing this, An Jiuling showed a little green and subtle smile on his face, and he also smiled and waved his hand.

It wasn't until the carriage and horse were far away and there was no trace that he put down his hand as if he had lost his soul, and his immature little face was dazed and reluctant to leave.

"People are gone, silly boy..."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan smiled and quipped, and teased in a teasing tone: "You stinky boy is not very old, and your mind is very tight." ”

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, An Jiuling's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and muttered shyly: "The relationship between me and Ying Mei is innocent, I... I don't have those thoughts. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "How old is Yingying?" If you weren't innocent, I guess your master would be able to break your legs. ”

"I... I ......"

An Jiuling was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

"Alright, alright..."

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't continue to tease him, and explained: "In the future, you will be the doctor of this Tong Family Medical Center, if you encounter something that can't be solved, remember to go up the mountain to find me." ”

"Disciple understands."

And on the departing carriage...

Tong Yingying pursed her small mouth and lay in her mother's arms, as if she was a little aggrieved, and more reluctant.

Seeing this, Tong Yongzhou could only sigh secretly, seeing that his wife and daughter were whispering, he took out the medical book in his arms when he had nothing to do, intending to relieve his boredom.

As a result, when he opened the first chapter, he was stunned and froze in place......

Zhang Xiuyuan walked around the city, sold a pot of wine, wrapped peanuts and roast chicken, and returned to Lao Litou's carpenter shop again.

Seeing that there was still no one in the carpenter's shop, he directly knocked on the coffin board and called, "Master Li. . . ”

"You're here!!"

knocked on the coffin board here, and there was a response there, and the sloppy old Li Tou crawled out of the coffin with great momentum.

He wanted to say something cruel to vent his anger for the past few days, but when he saw the wine and food on the coffin lid, those words were swallowed back into his stomach with saliva.

He said with a straight face: "You kid, don't think that I can give you a good look if I bring some wine." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiuyuan was shocked and asked quite incomprehensibly: "If Poor Dao is not mistaken, it seems that we have a business relationship, right?" ”

“……”

"Besides, Poor Dao has always been polite to Master Li, but I don't know who Master Li is angry with?"

“……”

Lao Litou's face stiffened when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.

Obviously, he played tricks on others, and he prostituted wine and food for nothing, but not only did they not care, but they also treated each other politely; Even this time I brought wine and food.

Why am I angry?

Who am I angry about?

The more angry I get, the more I prove that I am a harlequin?

Lao Li Tou bypassed the bend, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

He casually took out an antique scabbard with the word 'Zangfeng' engraved on the sheath from the coffin, and grinned: "Huh... The scabbard you want..."

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiuyuan couldn't help but stare when he saw the scabbard.

For some reason, he actually saw an extremely rich cloud of red dust and smoke on that scabbard!

It's so much richer than I've ever seen before...
