Chapter 11: The Old Taoist Memories of the Master's Life
After roasting the wolf jerky, the peach of Ula washes the clay pot and refills it with water.
Alayanzong took some herbs, washed them and chopped them, threw them into a clay pot, and gave Aunt Ula another dose of medicine.
When she woke up Aunt Ula to drink the medicine, Aunt Ulla's breathing became even more rapid, as if she only had the breath coming out, not the breath coming in, and her speech was even more weak.
"Kid, it's useless, I can't do it!"
Alayanzong grabbed Aunt Ula's left hand and said eagerly, "Aunt Ula will be fine, it will be fine." The recipe Master taught me worked very well. ”
Aunt Ula was still leaning on Ulla's peach.
Ula Zhitao held his mother's right hand, frowned, and comforted with tears in his eyes: "Mother must believe in Alayanzong, he will cure you, drink the medicine first." ”
Aunt Ula put the hands of Alayanzong and Ulla's peach together, and after gasping for two quick breaths, she said: "Yanzong, I will hand over the peach to you, and you must rely on each other for your life." ”
Alayanzong burst into tears and nodded frequently, "Auntie, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of her." ”
At this time, Ula Peach cried, "Mother...... Woo...... Woo......"
Seeing that the two children had complied with their request, a smile appeared on Aunt Ula's pale face.
"This ...... I was relieved. ”
Under the persuasion of the two people, Aunt Ulla finally drank the medicinal soup.
The rest of the medicinal soup was naturally not wasted, and the two of them drank it separately.
After that, Alayanzong boiled some rice porridge for Aunt Ula, but Aunt Ula still only ate two small spoonfuls and couldn't eat it anymore.
Aunt Ulla fell into a deep sleep again.
There is enough food to eat for a few days, but there are fewer and fewer herbs.
On this day, it was still Ula Peach who guarded his mother in the cave, and Alayanzong went out alone, mainly looking for medicinal herbs.
He remembered that on the west side of the old Taoist temple, there was a relatively flat land, which used to be the vegetable garden of the master, and there should be medicinal herbs there, so the Alayan Sect went straight to the Taoist temple.
The weeds outside the Taoist temple grew taller, some withered yellow, some new green, but after all, no herbs were found.
Alayanzong did not give up, and searched for the sunny place on the northern slope of the mountain. Finally, I found a few licorice skullcap plants, although there are not many, but they are enough to boil the medicine once.
Alayanzong returned to the Taoist temple, and he wanted to look here again to see if there was anything else that could be used.
I moved two times and found a clay pot, which was missing and could hold half a basin of water. In the spirit of thinking that it would be more convenient to have one more household belongings, Alayanzong decided to bring it back to the cave.
In the easternmost room of the main house of the Taoist temple, Alayanzong saw a broken bed that had been crushed by earth and stones, the wood had rotted, and it could be seen that it was once a bed.
I heard from Master that when he was a child, he and Master lived here because he was too young to have any memory of this place.
This is what Master told him later when he led him to worship his parents and went up the mountain to visit the Taoist temple.
It was here that Master told him the story of Him and Master.
Master's ancestral home is in Qiao Luxi Bird City in the north, which is far away from here. Master's family has been practicing medicine for generations, and his grandfather's generation was quite skilled in medicine.
He has been favored and rewarded by princes and generals, many patients have come here, and the Allah family has also been rich.
My grandfather was also fond of martial arts, but preferred medicine.
However, Master's father was a martial arts idiot, and he had no interest in medical skills at all, and he had reached a point of fanaticism about martial arts.
Relying on his family's solid background, he doesn't need to earn money to support his family, and in addition to practicing martial arts every day, he competes. He had tried it against everyone in the castle who liked martial arts.
Winning more and losing less, this stimulated his aggressive infatuation, and he said wildly that whoever can defeat him will be rewarded.
One day, a warrior came from out of town. Someone who did good things invited Master's father away, and after a competition, his father was beaten to death by the other party.
When my grandfather learned the news, he went to theorize, but the other party took out a life and death certificate, but it was a voluntary life and death competition.
The grandfather had no choice, in addition to collecting the body and going home for burial, he also paid the other party a sum of money.
After his father's death, his grandfather regarded his master as the pearl of his palm, personally taught him to read and practice martial arts, and taught him medicine when he was older.
The master was different from his father, more like his grandfather, who preferred medical skills, and whenever he had time, he delved into prescriptions.
As for martial arts, his grandfather was worried that he would follow in his son's footsteps, so he didn't force it, he preferred that his master would devote himself to medical skills.
But later, because of the rebellion, the people could not protect themselves, and my grandfather saw that it was still necessary to practice martial arts to defend themselves and save their lives, so that the family business could be smoothly handed over to the master.
In order to practice martial arts, my grandfather also invited a head teacher for the master to guide the master's martial arts.
The master has dabbled in all kinds of martial arts, although he has achieved a small success, but he is not fanatical, and he is still dedicated to studying medical skills.
The war is chaotic and unjust.
The people were displaced, hungry and cold, and my grandfather was righteous and squandered money, and soon the family fell into disarray. In the end, because his grandfather was old, worried about the country and the people, he died of illness.
Only the mother and the master were left to rely on each other, and gradually fell into difficulties in life, and later sold their property to get by.
A few years later, the city-state mutinied, and the people fled.
The master and mother had no choice but to go south to avoid disaster, but the mother fell ill halfway, and although the master was a doctor, he could not cure it, and the mother died.
Master was alone, unwilling to participate in the endless battles of either side.
The master is kind-hearted, and martial arts are only used for self-defense and make a living with medical skills.
Later, the master traveled to the Taoist temple and hugged with more than a dozen refuges here to keep warm, and they cultivated the land and became self-reliant.
On weekdays, the master treats the people who come to the Taoist temple to seek medical advice, and he has also lived a peaceful life for several years.
Later, the master saved the infant Alayanzong, and also brought infinite fun to the singles in the Taoist temple.
After the master carried the Alayanzong back to Daoxian, several Taoist priests brought two dead horses up the mountain.
Due to the lack of food, the Taoist priests usually did not avoid meat, and with meat, they increased the nutrition of the Alayan sect, so that he was able to survive and grow strongly.
At the same time, the master brought back to the Taoist temple a pair of iron armor left in the car by Alayanzong's father and the three-foot Xuanjian that he had used.
However, I heard from Master that they had been in this mountain for several years, and they had never heard of or seen any bandits in the vicinity, and they did not know where the wave of bandits who kidnapped his parents came from.
A year later, the army of the princes of one side arrested Ding and conscripted soldiers, and fell in love with more than a dozen Taoist priests on the Taoist temple.
Because these dozen or so people practiced martial arts with the master on weekdays, they had the courage to resist and resolutely refused, so they fought.
Alayanzong was less than two years old at the time. As he peered through the inner chamber to the door, a stray arrow nearly shot him dead.
The master was afraid that he would be hurt, so he carried him and avoided him to the back mountain.
When it got dark, the master carried him back to the Taoist hall and found that more than a dozen Taoist priests had died, and dozens of corpses were lying in the courtyard.
Distinguish from the number of military uniforms, but they are not soldiers of the same army.
The master guessed that in addition to the side that captured them as strong men, another group of men and horses came, and both sides fought fiercely, and both sides suffered casualties, and then they withdrew.
But the master also found that the Taoist temple had been looted, especially the iron armor and three-foot Xuanjian of the father of the Arayan Sect had disappeared without a trace.
The master found a mountain col, and it took him a day and a night to bury all the corpses.
Since then, the master and apprentice have lived a lonely life in the Taoist temple. Because of the war, few people sought medical treatment, and no one came to give alms, so life was extremely difficult.
Later, when he heard from a tourist that the city-state of Allah was now war-free and relatively peaceful, the Master took the Allah Dzong and went there.
At first, he made a living by practicing medicine and seeing doctors, and then met Ula Tao's parents, saying that the family next door to them had no one to live in, and the yard was idle. Because the east side is next to the coffin shop, no one comes to live in this courtyard.
The master did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he stayed, and with the help of Ula no Tao's parents, he settled down, and the two families gradually formed a deep friendship.
