Chapter 50: Flying Away
Wei Daoshi wiped the wine stains on the corners of his lips, he didn't care at all, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't say it, Li Wei'an looked at him, sobered up from his stunned mind, Wei Daoshi was aging too fast, when he was still in Yunzhou, he looked at it only fifty or sixty, but now he looks at it, and he is more than ten years old.
Sitting on the bluestone, looking at it intently, the old skin on the face was pulled down for a long time, and there was no longer a little bit of fairy wind bones.
Li Wei'an was stunned, and he was also shocked to realize that the old Taoist priest disappeared for many days in Bianjing, and when he came back, he was still the same robe, and the old sword told him to see the old Taoist priest.
"What kind of rare strange poison? Or are you extremely seriously injured, and you used a strange medicine stone that can only be used in a hurry. The thief put down his hand and said, looking at Daoist Wei's reaction.
There are many strange things in the world. Some can cure epidemics, some can heal internal injuries, and some can only be applied externally to regenerate muscles, and the injuries will be healed in a few days.
There are some weird medicinal stones, and if you eat them, you will die immediately, and there is no cure. This is not an uncommon thing, since ancient times, some families have already had some secret techniques, which can cure all kinds of diseases, but most of these families have been too few, if there is really any medicine that can make people age so fast, it is not surprising, whether it is secret art or medicine, it can be done.
The old Taoist priest only cared about drinking, there was not much wine in the wine gourd, and after a few sips, he finally drank it dry, and he didn't get drunk, but just lowered his head and said: "If it is an ordinary poison, I will solve it myself, and it is naturally not an ordinary poison." ”
"It is not poison, but something else. ”
This sentence was said by a thief: "I probed into your veins of Daoist Wei, and it should be said that there is no pharmacology in it, not even a secret technique." ”
"Secret art?" Li Wei'an asked more, what is the secret technique? When he was born in Yunzhou, it seems that his father often talked about secret arts.
I didn't hear the thief's voice, but the old Taoist priest heard it, turned his head to look at him, and explained to him: "In the Han and Tang dynasties, there were many capable people who used secret techniques to make a living, among which the secret arts were called illusions by the people at that time, which could deceive others in person, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth. ”
"He can't hear the thief, and when you talk to him, you have to let him see it so that he can know. The old Taoist priest said.
Li Wei'an looked at Chen Tao, who was a thief, there was a red and green sarcoma outside his ear, which just blocked the pinna, he just sighed in his heart, there are people in the world who have this appearance. It's not very obvious, you only know when you see the ears.
In fact, the world only knows one thing, but not the other. There are four kinds of secret magicians, one of them is the illusionist, the other is the secret medicine master, the secret medicine master is very good, the secret medicine developed, some can prolong life, some can cure all kinds of diseases, and some can kill people invisibly, the doctor who does not know the secret medicine, can not find the place to take the medicine, and can not find the slightest crack. The old Taoist priest said.
Wei Daoist didn't care if he was really aging rapidly as they said, of course, he himself must have felt what changes had happened to his body, but he didn't care so much about drinking and getting drunk every day.
The wind and rain outside hit the branches of the firewood and could not be poured into the shed, so the shed was supported by the wall, and water droplets fell from the gaps in the shed, and a few drops hit the cheeks of the sleeping acquaintance, and the person was awakened.
Li Wei'an was hazy, rubbed his eyes, and found that it was the thief who woke up, and the moon was still hanging in the sky, so he was already making a fire and starting a stove, pouring half a bowl of rice into the pot, and covering it with a wooden lid.
Li Wei'an looked at him, very curious, how could such a young boy be deaf, he made a sound, and he didn't see him react, just turned his back on his gaze and took out a water bladder from the side, and he didn't know whether he was drinking wine or water, looking at the moon and looking at the rainy night.
Such a person, I don't know what Li Wei'an is thinking about, so a feeling of sorrow arises, if he becomes deaf, he will definitely be bored every day.
Got up from the ground, walked behind Chen Tao and sat down, and stretched out his hand to put his shoulder on his shoulder.
It's just that the next moment, Chen Tao turned his head to look at him and said, "What's the matter?"
Li Wei'an was taken aback: "Aren't you deaf?"
"Deaf, not deaf, but stuffed with something in my ears, I hear very lightly, and sometimes when you speak, I really don't hear you. ”
Chen Tao said: "But don't worry that I can't hear, I have good eyesight, and I can see you talking when it's dark, and I can know what you want to say by looking at the shape of your lips." ”
Li Wei'an asked him, "What are you looking at?"
The moonlight fell, and on a rainy night, clear clouds of smoke filled the sky, but still the rain shimmered with moonlight, splashing water, and there was a great sound of rain, and the louder the rain, the more sleepy the people who slept at night.
Chen Tao thought about it, but still said: "I like to look at the moon, I thought there was no moon today, but I didn't expect to be able to see the moon today." ”
"This rain is really ......" Li Wei'an just said, it was a sneeze, this one was so loud that even the sleeping old Taoist priest turned over, obviously looking very old, according to Chen Tao, Wei Daoist is in his early fifties at most this year.
"Thief...... Thief. ”
"When I was as old as you, I knew Daoist Wei, and at that time he was still a middle-aged Taoist priest, squatting down to call my name. ”
"He later went to the rivers and lakes, I looked for him for many days, but I didn't find it, but I heard that there was a Taoist priest in Hangzhou City, who competed with people in the street garden of Qixian Tower, and defeated one person with one move or two moves, just to write his name on Qixian Tower. ”
Chen Tao took a sip of wine, the wine was fragrant, mellow and rich, he then thought and said: "For a while, the Taoist priest defeated dozens of people in a row, and finally got his wish, and carved his name on the pavilion of the immortals, some people say that he is the first swordsman in Hangzhou City, even if it is a Taoist priest, but a sword will make the knights of the city of rivers and lakes hibernating." ”
Li Wei'an glanced at Daoist Wei, who was still asleep, and Daoist Wei scratched his cheek, it seemed that his old skin was dry, which made him very uncomfortable, so he scratched it. He knew that Chen Tao was talking about the old Taoist, but he couldn't believe it in his heart.
He had seen the old Taoist sword, not to mention the rust, and often let the old Taoist priest use it to wear chickens, ducks and rabbits, and smoke them on the fire.
How can a swordsman do these things with his love sword? A swordsman's sword is sometimes more important than his own net worth and life.
He broke into a great reputation, and naturally attracted many people who challenged him, a Taoist priest occupied the Hangzhou City Qixian Tower, for a time, there would be three or four people to fight him every day, but none of them could catch ten moves. ”
"Aren't there a lot of Sword Sect Sword Sects? Why didn't anyone come to stop them?" Li Wei'an asked, as far as he knew, there were thirteen famous Sword Sects in the Great Song Dynasty alone, and there were hundreds of sword sects that were not well-known, and the sword was originally the king of a hundred soldiers, and the swordsmen who practiced swords, some were self-taught, and some were born in the Sword Gate, how could such a Taoist priest be the first swordsman in Jiangnan?
"Can't stop it. Chen Tao said.
"Can't stop it?"
Chen Tao nodded: "If you say that the Great Sword Sect of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect makes a move, you only need to call an elder casually to defeat Daoist Wei, but Daoist Wei was only thirty or forty years old at the time, and he is really called an elder of his age." ”
"That's to bully the small?"
"Yes, but there is no one in the younger generation who can defeat Daoist Wei, so they can only set their sights on Jiangnan and look for people outside. Chen Tao said.
"Despicable. Li Wei'an said unfairly, he looked down on these people, he couldn't beat them, and he couldn't do it, so he went to find outsiders to intervene, in his eyes, this was really a bit despicable and shameless.
Chen Tao watched his lips move and smiled, the rain outside was a little smaller, and he didn't know if it would get bigger, but at this moment, the rain was much smaller, and there was less rain splashing on the ground.
"At that time, there was a Xichuan scattered Bai Shaoyang, whose martial arts were very high, and he came to the Central Plains to consult the masters of various states, and someone specifically found him and asked him to enter the south of the Yangtze River to defeat Wei Daoshi, and Bai Shaoyang promised. ”
"Bai Shaoyang?"
"Bai Shaoyang's martial arts quirks, swordsmanship is extremely high, as soon as he came to Hangzhou City, he went to challenge on the same day, and in one day he defeated all the people who challenged in the Qixian Tower, saying that he wanted to defeat Wei Daoshi. ”
Wei Daoshi turned over again, there was a small pebble behind his back, it was hard behind him, and he felt a pain, but he still fell asleep, grabbed the red mark behind him, and fell asleep.
"When I went to Hangzhou City to look for him, it was half a month late, some people said that Bai Shaoyang was defeated, and some people said that Wei Daoist was defeated, Bai Shaoyang returned to Xichuan, and Wei Daoshi went all the way to the north. ”
"So, Daoist Wei is really a powerful swordsman?" Li Wei'an raised his eyebrows, as if he was still in doubt, after all, the image of the old Taoist priest at the moment was too different from that of a swordsman.
"Daoist Wei is very powerful, and those who can leave a name on the Qixian Tower are not ordinary swordsmen, they must be first-class swordsmen. Chen Tao said.
"But this year, there will be a lot fewer people who want to come to the Qixian Building to compete, and too many people have died during the epidemic, and even the huge Qixian Building has been closed for several days. ”
The porridge was ready, the aroma of rice porridge wafted out, and Chen Tao grabbed a pottery bowl, scooped two spoonfuls, and there were only about thirty grains of stewed rice in it, and handed it to Li Wei'an: "I'm afraid that you will get sick, I also put two horns of ginger slices in it, and after eating ginger for a while, it won't take a few days for the cough in your throat to be intact."
Li Wei'an nodded, just this bowl of porridge, I ate it in three or four bites, and then chewed the ginger slices in my mouth and swallowed it.
"After eating, I'll go and talk for a while, you didn't sleep well today. ”
"It's okay, I still want to ask you, can the old Taoist priest's disease be cured?" asked Li Wei'an.
"......" The thief was silent for a while before answering him, "Daoist Wei is not sick. ”
"Not sick?"
"There was no sign of medicine in his body, and there was no outline of arcane magic, but it made people feel a bit like witchcraft. ”
Witchcraft? Li Wei'an looked at Chen Tao and asked curiously.
