Chapter 3 Merit as Medicine

Without waiting for Chen Cuo to speak, Chen Jiao laughed.

"Second brother, you forgot, an old beggar came to beg for food a few years ago, you didn't divide the house at that time, and you also saw it, I saw that he was pitiful, and asked for some soup cakes for him, the old beggar thanked me, saying that I was highly qualified, I was a cultivator seed, and wanted to accept me as a disciple, but I was blocked by you, brother."

"Old beggar?"

Chen Jiao nodded: "At that time, you asked the old beggar to be forcibly driven away, and before he left, he left some gadgets for me, including this paper crane, and a mantra, let me recite it silently day and night, a few days ago, I could suddenly drive this paper crane......"

The speaker has no intention, and the listener's heart is already roaring by, trampling the past common sense!

Chen Cuo took a deep breath and desperately flipped through the fragments of his memory, trying to find some clues.

If Chen Jiao's words are true, doesn't it mean that this world is not a materialist historical era? If the old beggar is really a master of the game, wouldn't he Chen Fangqing cut off the immortal relationship with his own hands?

"That's not the point!"

He took a deep breath, reined in his thoughts, and thought of a possibility.

"If this is the case, then what kind of ability does Zhou Youzi really have? His book is not nonsense? After all, charlatans have been deceived into the palace......

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Cuo was apprehensive, and then his mind moved, and he asked Chen Jiao: "The old beggar told you the formula, tell me about it." ”

Chen Jiao straightened her face and said: "I can't tell you, don't worry, it's the old beggar who ordered it, he said that you are a blessed person, and your life is unlucky, so you don't want to get involved in the relationship, oh, don't look at me like that, I don't dislike you, and I also defended you twice, but the old beggar said: Your two brothers are tyrannical and blessed, I'm afraid they won't die well, if you follow them, sooner or later you will suffer, it's better to worship the old man, the old man was born ......"

"What is your origin?" Chen Cuo thought that Nan Chen would die in the Northern Dynasty sooner or later, and the words of the old beggar might have to be confirmed in the future, but he came through time and knew the historical context, how did the old beggar know that he was in this world?

"I don't know what the background is," Chen Jiao spread her hands, "Before I finished speaking, my brother's people came over and drove the old beggar away!"

Chen Cuo was speechless for a moment.

Chen Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she cheered: "Xiaohe'er has replied, I'll tell my brother." Mother is talking to that gentleman about the eldest brother! This Mr. Zhou really has a fairy spirit! He looks more like a master than the old beggar! Oh, don't talk about it, Mr. Zhou took a look at my little crane, he must have found it, I have to call it back quickly, nothing can happen, I don't have anything more interesting than it!"

With that, she hurriedly made a trick.

——————

In the main hall, the graceful and dignified Mrs. Chen Fu was talking to an elegant man.

The man was about forty years old, with eyebrows and sideburns, a long beard, his hair was casually buttoned, most of it was draped down, his robe was wide, and his posture was elegant.

He withdrew his gaze from the window and smiled at the old lady: "I heard that before the king went north, he left two sons and a daughter, and now the king has gone south to sit in the town, and the prince has also been knighted, but I don't know what happened to the lady of your mansion?"

"Huh?" Mrs. Chen Fu was stunned when she heard this, and then said with a smile, "Since Mr. asked, the old man did not answer, and the little girl was stubborn, afraid that she would bump into Mr., so she was not summoned." ”

Although she is an old lady in the mouth of everyone in the house, Chen's mother is really forty years old, and she is half a.

As soon as her voice fell, a young man next to her smiled and said, "So that Sir will know that my cousin is very intelligent, and if Sir sees her, he will definitely like her." ”

Zhou Youzi nodded and said with a smile: "What Zhang Gongzi said is that he was about to meet." ”

Chen He happened to walk in at this time, and whispered two words in Chen's mother's ear, the latter's expression remained unchanged, and said to Zhou Youzi: "Since Mr. has met, let her come to meet him, and it just so happens that my second son who is not a good person has also improved, so let's call them together." ”

Soon, Chen Cuo and Chen Jiao came to the main hall together.

Chen Cuo saw Zhou Youzi at a glance, and saw that his person was really extraordinary, just like a successful master in the workplace in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and then he saw Chen's mother kneeling on the main seat, and the young people around him.

The young man is Chen's mother's cousin, named Zhang Ju, who was born in the Zhang family of Wu County, and is a writer in the court, and the mansion is not far from the county king's mansion, and he has close contacts with the mansion, and he is very respectful to Chen Fangqing's brother, and he is also very polite to himself.

In contrast, Chen's mother's face was not so good-looking, because there was still Zhou Youzi there, she didn't have a seizure, but just said expressionlessly: "This Mr. Zhou is a friend of our family, and he is a half-hearted Taoist, come and see him." ”

Chen Cuo and Chen Jiao visited Zhou Youzi.

"I can't help it, the princes and ladies are invited, and the grass people of Zhou are not allowed to give this ceremony. Zhou Youzi was polite, but he didn't stop the two, his eyes swept over Chen Cuo, stayed on Chen Jiao, and couldn't stop nodding.

Chen Jiao looked quiet, and after saluting, she stood aside and was silent.

Chen Cuo thought about the paper crane, he was very curious about the gentleman in front of him, and he had the heart to ask, but he didn't dare to speak rashly, his heart was like an ant climbing, which was very uncomfortable.

Chen's mother said: "Mr. has also met the two of them, compared to my family, there is a gap, I can't hide it, this time Mr. came over, the old body really wants to ask for a cheeky request, and ask for a chance for my family." ”

"The king sits in southern Xinjiang and is the pillar of the imperial court, Zhou is idle and wild, and he can't help, but he took care of me when he went north, and a certain family has always remembered it, and he should return it......" As he spoke, Zhou Youzi withdrew his gaze from Chen Jiao, and his wide sleeves swept over the table beside him, leaving two wooden boxes, both the size of palms, one red and one black.

"What's the mystery of these two things?" Chen Mu looked at the things on the table and quickly asked.

Zhou Youzi picked up the red box, and as soon as he opened it, the house was suddenly filled with a strange fragrance, and he saw a red pill living in it.

The eyes of several people in the room widened, and even the servants waiting inside and outside couldn't help but look over, all of them in surprise and with different expressions.

Mother Chen immediately waved her hand and let the unrelated servants disperse, leaving only three or four henchmen.

Among the servants who dispersed, there were many people who were reluctant to give up, but they did not dare to disobey their orders.

Mother Chen then asked about the origin of the pill.

Zhou Youzi said with a smile: "This thing is called Tongming Dan, it is refined by my master, it is contained in the mouth, it can be understood by the heart, swallowed, within a moment or three, it can subdue the heart ape and the horse, which makes people feel transparent. ”

"This is it!" Zhang Ju murmured.

"Nephew Xian knows about this?" Mother Chen asked, turning her head.

Zhang Ju nodded, arched his hand and said: "The little nephew once watched the chess master Shi Gong play against others, Shi Gong is over sixty years old, the game is in the middle of the game, he is already groggy and tired, and the white son is also down, so he asked people to take this thing, and after holding it, he immediately was in good spirits, winning three games in a row! Afterwards, the little nephew heard that this thing can increase wisdom!"

"There is such a miraculous effect!" Chen Mu couldn't help but solemnize, "Such a valuable thing, I'm afraid it's not easy to refine." ”

"It does take time, a few herbs are more difficult to get together, but it is not a masterpiece, this pill can make people's minds clear, but it can only work for a while, it is taken by my disciples when they are in retreat to understand the mysteries, and it is also effective for ordinary people. Zhou Youzi closed the lid, the fragrance disappeared, and his gaze swept over Chen Jiao intentionally or unintentionally.

"That old body is no longer hypocritical, so thank you!" Chen Mu nodded with a smile, and her eyes fell on the black box again.

Zhou Youzi took the opportunity to open the second box.

The contents made Chen Cuo and Chen Jiao stunned - it was a paper crane carved from black jade.

"This is the ink crane," Zhou Youzi stroked his beard and smiled, "I can control it with my will, travel ten miles, and listen to the mystery from afar, as if I am on my side." ”

When Chen's mother heard this, she was moved.

This thing can be called mysterious, it is a sharp weapon for listening and probing, his eldest son is now sitting outside, and there are soldiers and horses, and he also wants to attack, if he has this thing, it is equivalent to an additional accompanying scout, who can sneak into the exploration, like a tiger with wings!

"Such a valuable gift, I'm afraid it cost Mr. a lot of effort. She stood up and was about to salute.

Zhou Youzi shook his head to stop: "Zhou is given by the teacher, otherwise, with a certain family of less than ten years of Taoism, the first step of seeking the Tao has not yet been completed, wandering the mundane, there is no fire in the chest, how to refine the magic weapon?"

Mother Chen was taken aback and said, "Isn't it even more precious!

"Madame, don't be in a hurry to refuse, this matter also has a origin, you will know in the future, besides, a certain family sent these two things, and there is also a plan," Zhou Youzi pointed to the two boxes in front of him, "My teacher is inherited from one of the Guangcheng Taoist traditions, although he does not return to the path of refining qi, but he also cultivates virtue, ordinary disciples want to take the Menzhong Pill pill, it is necessary to use medicine to introduce, and Mohe wants to recognize the master, and he also needs a certificate." ”

"Dare to ask sir, what do you need?" Mother Chen had already made up her mind, such a miraculous thing must not be let go, no matter what she wanted, she had to find a way to get it.

Zhou Youzi didn't go around in circles, so he said: "Merit! The medicine of the elixir is cited as merit, if the ink crane wants to soar, it also needs to protect itself with merit, condense the talisman seal, and guard the mind, so that it can be controlled, otherwise the soul is easy to get lost......"
