Volume 3 Journey to the North Chapter 46 Accept an apprentice named Xun Fang
The man was slightly stunned when he heard Zhou Ping's words, and then fell to his knees with a pop.
"Please, as long as you are willing to give me the medicine, I will repay you for your great kindness even if I am a cow and a horse!"
As he spoke, the man kowtowed three times, and then slowly raised his head to look at Zhou Ping. At that moment, dignity and personality were all left behind by him, he just wanted to save his mother, for his mother he could give up everything, even his life!
"What's your name?" Zhou Ping helped him up and asked in a deep voice.
"My name is Xun Fang, Xun of Xun grass, Fang Yuan. ”
Zhou Ping took the medicinal herbs and followed Xun Fang all the way through the streets and alleys of Yinbei City, and finally came to the place where he lived. Xun Fang and his old mother live in a dilapidated shack, not to mention the four walls of the family, and even the four walls here are not even together.
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Xun Fang looked at the old mother lying on the straw mat and trembled uncontrollably, seeing that there was already no breath in and out, he immediately threw away the medicinal herbs in his hand and knelt down by the straw mat and held her hand tightly.
Zhou Ping immediately stepped forward and pushed Xun Fang away, and used the true yuan to investigate up and down.
This old woman suffered from the same lung disease as Xun Fang, and Zhou Ping finally understood the origin of this lung disease with the help of this investigation.
The lungs belong to gold, and the mother and son are born with gold in their lungs, but they don't know how to practice, so this domineering gold energy not only can't be used in cultivation, but even causes great damage to themselves.
At this time, the old woman was terminally ill, her lungs had been almost shattered after years of golden energy, and it was difficult to maintain even the most basic breathing at this time, Zhou Ping was not the legendary power that could reshape human organs, his true yuan could force out the dirty blood in Xun Fang's body, but he was completely powerless against this completely damaged organ.
"Benefactor, benefactor, you must have a way to save my mother, right! As long as you can save my mother's life, I am willing to use you as a cow and a horse!"
Xun Fang knelt on the ground and clutched Zhou Ping's trouser legs, tears and snot flowed down his cheeks, and now Zhou Ping could be said to be his only hope.
But Zhou Ping was really helpless about this situation. Or in addition to the legendary power that can reshape human organs, no matter how good Lang Zhong is, he can't get back to this old woman's life.
"You go and fry the medicine first, and then give it to your mother first. Zhou Ping closed his eyes and took a deep breath, although he didn't have the ability to reshape his organs, he could at least smooth the patient's breath and save her life for the time being.
When Xun Fang heard Zhou Ping's words, he immediately got up from the ground, took out a dilapidated crockpot and began to decoct medicine for his mother, and now there was only so much he could do.
Zhou Ping almost exhausted all the true yuan, and finally sorted out the old woman's lungs, watching her gradually stabilize her breathing, Zhou Ping smiled with relief and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Xun Fang supported him on the side.
"Benefactor, ahem, are you okay?" Xun Fang put down the pu fan in his hand and asked with a cough.
Zhou Ping waved his hand, motioning for him to continue decocting the medicine, and then sat in the open space on the side and stared blankly at the sky.
He doesn't know what the point of doing this is, this world is much worse than this girl, no matter how much he helps, he can't help it, and Zhou Ping doesn't think that he is the kind of sage who worries about the suffering of all beings, he is just a hairy boy with a little ability, but only one line of power.
However, who told him that Zhou Ping met?
Seeing that Xun Fang had finished feeding the old woman the medicine one by one, it was already dark.
"Sleeping?" Zhou Ping raised his head and looked at Xun Fang who came over and asked.
Xun Fang nodded, then squatted beside Zhou Ping, was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to ask.
"My mother, how long can you live?"
Zhou Ping glanced at him deeply, the eyes of this man named Xun Fang were so clear, and they looked so bright against the background of the sunset behind him.
"Since you already knew that your mother couldn't be saved, why did you kneel on the ground and beg me and Langzhong?"
"I know, my mother and I have a disease, of course I do. Xun Fang smiled miserably and grabbed his unkempt hair.
"But she is my mother, even if there is only the slightest chance, I am willing to sacrifice my life to fight for it, but if I don't even have this chance, then I can make her go less painful......"
With the excitement of emotion, Xun Fang coughed violently again, and Zhou Ping just sat beside him, just sitting quietly like that.
Is the love between mother and son like this, can they do anything for each other? Is it so pure, hot and hot?
"Why don't you find a job to do, why do you do all this stealing and stealing things every day?" Zhou Ping asked with a long sigh as he leaned against the wall in a different position.
"Me?" Xun Fang raised his head and glanced at the night sky that was getting dark, and smiled helplessly.
"It's not that I haven't looked for it, but every boss quit me after knowing that I had a lung disease, partly because I couldn't do heavy work, and on the other hand, they were afraid that I would infect others. ”
Looking at his mother lying on the mat, Xun Fang smiled slightly, if a person like him can't even do physical work, then what else can he do? Isn't it just stealing chickens and dogs and begging along the street?
"Do you believe in fate?" Zhou Ping turned his head and asked, "Two unrelated people met in the dark, and the thread of fate quietly changed under each other's influence, and once again re-established two different lives." ”
"Benefactor, if you have something to say, just say it! I, Xun Fang, is just a bad life, even if you ask me to sell my life, I will do it for you!" Although Xun Fang didn't understand what Zhou Ping meant, he understood Entu Bao, even if Zhou Ping really asked him to do something dangerous, he would not hesitate to do it.
Zhou Ping turned his head, looked at the man who might be older than him, and whispered a word.
"Be my apprentice, I'll teach you to cultivate immortals. ”
"Cultivating immortals, be your apprentice?" Xun Fang stood up suddenly, obviously surprised by Zhou Ping's words.
"Can I also cultivate immortals? Can I also become an immortal who can do everything from heaven to earth?"
Zhou Ping shook his head with a smile, and pulled him to sit down again, "I don't have the ability to go to heaven and earth! ”
Xun Fang was stunned for two seconds when he heard this, and his body leaned slightly, but he was stopped by Zhou Ping before he could kneel.
"Don't kneel, you have already knelt in front of the pharmacy, I will worship me as a master, from now on you will be my Zhou Ping's apprentice, I only set three rules for you, you have to listen well!"
Zhou Ping stood up and looked directly into Xun Fang's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "First, you can't steal again in the future! Second, be a human being, don't bully the weak and fear the hard, not to say that you will make a life for the people of heaven and earth, but ask for kindness and peace ......of mind!"
"Third. In the future, except for kneeling to heaven and earth, and kneeling to parents, you can't kneel for anyone! Even I don't have to, understand?"
Xun Fang nodded again and again, and tears began to flow uncontrollably from his eyes.
"Master, I also have a master, I can also become an immortal cultivator!" Xun Fang hurriedly ran to his mother's side, held her hand, and said with tears in his smile: "Mother, mother, did you hear that?"
Seeing this, Zhou Ping's heart tightened, and he slowly turned around, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little sour.
"Mother, mother, don't scare me!" Xun Fang held his mother's slightly stiff hand, and his breath was strained in his chest, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
If all good people in the world have a good end, and all good deeds can be done well, then it is excellent.
For Zhou Ping, although good is not rewarded if there is no intention, although evil is not punished. When manpower is exhausted, it is a great good to do your best and dedication.
The woman buried in the ground, the man standing outside the tomb, that night, Zhou Ping was also like the old cigarette pouch in the south, carefully guiding Xun Fang to the entrance.
"Slow down your breathing and imagine you're in a vast ocean. You are surrounded by bright water, they are clear and transparent. ”
"Remember, they are fluid, they are free, try to let them flow into your body, try to attract the force in your dantian to manipulate them......"
I remember one night a few years ago, someone was also patiently explaining to Zhou Ping beside him.
That person changed Zhou Ping's fate, and today, Zhou Ping has quietly moved the trajectory of another person's life like this.
This is life, this is people......
