Chapter 43: A Chance Encounter with a Beautiful Woman

A few days later, Wang Yuan came to visit. "The Zhu family is so powerful, it was one of the four major families of Wu County during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was even more prominent at the time of Sun Wu. In the past hundred years, although the strength of the Zhu family is not as good as before, it is still not to be underestimated, and the power in this Wu County is deeply rooted. Li Qingxuan remembered Wang Yuan's words when he sent two thousand five hundred taels of silver ingots, and his heart shook slightly, but even so, he was still fearless.

Behind the county lieutenant Tian, it is naturally the support of the Zhu family. If the Zhu family does not fall, it will not be easy to attack the obviously unclean Tian County Lieutenant for the time being. And the Zhu family is quite powerful, the roots are all over the place, and it is extremely difficult to deal with them, even if Lord Thorn Shi has already had the intention to get rid of this party Haoqiang, but he is also very scruples, in addition, the Zhu family is in the capital, and he is also in contact with many big people.

Li Qingxuan was surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. However, these days, the effectiveness of Jindan soaking has gradually decreased, and I don't know if it is because I have taken too much Jindan spiritual water, which has led to a decrease in effectiveness, or because of Jindan itself. "After the effect of Jindan is reduced, boiling it with boiling water can also be effective at the beginning, and the effect is gradually decreasing at this time. "I'm afraid it's better to use the fire talisman." ”

The fire talisman is naturally the rune recorded on the Wuzhen Sword Dao. It is extremely difficult for a jade sword or a golden sword to melt it into water, because it is difficult for the flames to reach this level, and second, if you want to melt the sword, you are afraid that the iron pot will melt first. So, there was this fire talisman. Li Qingxuan wanted to try this fire talisman and use it to burn the golden pill.

Of course, the most important point is that I want to practice it, so as not to have any accidents when I practice the true kendo. Talismans, cinnabar, and the like are essential. Uncle Jian had already gone to the shops in the city to inquire that if he wanted the best cinnabar, he would have to wait a few more days for it to be delivered, but the price was expensive. For Li Qingxuan, who has thousands of taels of silver, it is obviously nothing.

"Uncle Jian has already ordered cinnabar, and the talisman pen has also bought the best one, and in addition, most of the things have been prepared, and in a few days, the alchemy pill will be boiled. Thinking like this, he moved slightly, and realized that there was someone outside the door. Since the true qi has been running-in, the perception has become more and more acute.

"Sister in early summer?" After going out, seeing the person outside the door, Li Qingxuan was slightly stunned. Chu Xia didn't have a good face for him, snorted, entered the door, looked around, and said, "Doctor Li, this is where you live? Why is it so simple, how long do you plan to live here?"

Li Qingxuan said with a smile: "In two or three months, I will go back to live in the house in Wu County, and I don't have to worry about my sister in early summer." Chu Xia muttered in a low voice: "I heard that you are a famous doctor, you should open a medicine hall." Li Qingxuan smiled slightly and did not answer. "Where is your county seat?"

Chu Xia looked around and said, "How many people enter and leave your house? It won't be as simple and simple as a bamboo house, right? Li Qingxuan said with a smile: "My house is in the south of the county town in the blessing lane, two in and two out of the courtyard, when the time comes, welcome my sister in early summer to come to the cold house." "Okay, I won't talk to you more. Hatsu put a small package on the side, then clapped her hands and said, "It's time for me to go." ”

Li Qingxuan was quite puzzled and asked, "What is this inside?" "The day before yesterday, I met that Uncle Jian with Miss on the street, and I heard that he was originally the housekeeper of your family, and he wanted to buy some talismans and cinnabar or something. These were from the young lady who passed through the lord and asked for them from the adults of the other state capitals, and I heard that they were obtained from the Zhongnan Mountain. ”

"Things on Zhongnan Mountain?" Li Qingxuan was suddenly startled. Zhongnan Mountain, one of the holy places of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty invited Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, as the holy ancestor, and vigorously respected Taoism, especially because the master of the Louguan faction, Qi Hui Zhenren, had sponsored the uprising of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so after Li Yuan established the Li Tang Empire, he favored the Louguan faction.

In the early years of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty ordered the construction of a large-scale Zongsheng Palace. Over the years, the Li Tang royal family has built palaces on Zhongnan Mountain many times, and many princesses of the Li Tang royal family have become monks on this mountain, making the name of the Taoist holy land of Zhongnan Mountain spread all over the world. Such a fairy mountain, there is naturally no shortage of fairy legends, and there are countless believers.

It is recorded in the notes of his master Zhang Laodao: Zhongnan Mountain is also known as Taiyi Mountain, Dilung Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, and Zhou Nanshan. This mountain bell is beautiful, full of aura, worthy of the name of the blessed land of the fairy mountain, but visiting the whole mountain, although there are people who cultivate the Tao and refine the qi, but do not see the respect of the fairy god.

"There are people who cultivate qi on the mountain, and there are also people who release their true qi, but Master he has not seen a higher person in cultivation, but Master he has never met it, but it doesn't mean that there is none. At least, there are really people who practice qi cultivation on this mountain, and there are indeed high-ranking hermits. "The mountains are not high, there are immortals. Zhongnan Mountain is not very towering, but it is shrouded in white clouds and light mist.

In the eyes of the world, this is a fairy mountain, a mountain shrouded in a veil of mystery, and it is one of the Taoist holy places recognized by the imperial court, and the Taoist disciples are revered as the immortal mountain where the ancestor is located. When Li Qingxuan opened it, he found that there was a talisman pen, a box of cinnabar, a dust, and a sachet of incense.

Li Qingxuan said softly: "This is a bit precious, how can you ...... it in the future" "Don't want to accept it?" Chu Xia raised his eyebrows and snorted: "Anyway, I only sent it, it's your business whether you can collect it or not, if you lose it, it's also your business." Li Qingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "I really dream of such treasures, I asked Uncle Jian to buy a talisman pen in the city before, and book cinnabar, although it is the most superior, but compared to the things that come out of the Taoist holy land, it is indeed different from cloud and mud." But this thing is precious, and it is useless, so it is not as good as me......"

Chu Xia's face was slightly cold, and he snorted: "You are a young lady of our family, and you are rare with your little silver? This thing came from Zhongnan Mountain, and it was originally used by the cultivators of Zhongnan Mountain, if it weren't for my lord to ask for it from adults in other state capitals, would it be so easy for you to have it?" Li Qingxuan smiled bitterly. "Hmph, I hate your appearance as a sour scholar the most, this girl is gone. "Sister Chuxia, why don't you have a cup of tea first?"

"Are you as idle as this girl?" As a maid, she had to stay by her side at all times, but whenever she was told, she had to do her best and not slack off. Even in the middle of the night, when you are asleep, if you hear a command, you must get up immediately. When the world is toiling, how can there be leisure?

Another example is the cook of a large family, if the owner wants to eat any dishes in the middle of the night, even if he is asleep, he has to turn over and get up without delay. Thinking about it like this, Li Qingxuan suddenly thought of Liu Wuye again, and remembered the remarks of the old imperial doctor. When he came back to his senses, early summer had already left the bamboo hut and gradually walked away, and a horse-drawn carriage stopped on the side of the road not far away.

"Huh?" This place is at the foot of the Dome Mountain, quite far away from the mansion of Lord Thorn Shi, when Wang Yuan came to invite, he drove the carriage for half a day. Why did you go down to Qionglong Mountain in early summer? Even so, Miss Cui should also be on the carriage not far away? Li Qingxuan paused for a long time, frowned, and finally got out of the bamboo house, and said in his heart: "You should always say thank you?" Somehow, this guy suddenly remembered the soft touch at that time. "Amitabha, sin and sin. ”

"Wrong, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Uncle Jian didn't return for the time being, Li Qingxuan closed the door and left immediately. The true qi in his body is nearly eight inches high, not only has his internal strength increased greatly, but he is also more elegant and agile, and his body walks like the wind. He had a keen sense, and although he had been delayed for a long time, he was still able to follow behind early summer. In a short time, it was already early summer, but the delicate little maid was always a little hostile to him, so he slowed down and followed only behind.

In early summer, follow the road and go into the forest. Li Qingxuan then entered, and saw a carriage in the glade. There were four guards with knives and a driver with a long whip. Chu Xia stepped forward with a smile, laughed a few times next to the car, and said a few words. Li Qingxuan thought secretly: "Miss Cui is really near Qionglong Mountain. ”

Suddenly, I saw a person getting down from the carriage, with exquisite facial features, excellent appearance, and exquisite beauty. I saw that her skin was better than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and when she was looking forward to it, she had an elegant and noble temperament, which made people feel ashamed of herself and dare not blaspheme. She was dressed in a white plain gauze placket skirt, her white hands were as crystal as jade, her temperament was elegant and vulgar, and she had a light spirit. There are a few elegant plum blossoms embroidered on the wide sleeves, and the white clothes are fluttering, as if the fairy in the moon descends to earth, with an indescribable moving color.

Compared with when he was weak and sleeping, he added a little bit of agility, and Li Qingxuan's heart suddenly felt a little pounding. "It seems that Miss Cui has really recovered, her complexion is excellent, she has been able to walk on the ground in just a few days, and the Jindanling fruit is really extraordinary. Li Qingxuan hid on the side, saw Miss Cui and the early summer girl go hand in hand, and asked the coachman and the guards to wait, thinking that she wanted to take a walk in the forest, see the scenery, and talk about her daughter's home.

Just as Li Qingxuan was thinking about whether to go back to the bamboo house courtyard first, he heard a sentence "sour scholar" wafting into his ears. Hearing the nickname that Hatsu had given him, he hesitated for a moment, then followed around the other side of the forest. "Miss, although this sour scholar cured you, he shamelessly asked the master for a lot of compensation, and he actually asked for a small sword made of pure gold, and I also heard that the master gave him a thousand taels of silver in private. ”

"What nonsense, a thousand taels of silver is just a rumor outside, not a fact. "Who knows, you see that he is so brazen, he can ask the master for so many medicinal materials, and even ask for an extra golden sword. This thousand taels is estimated to be true, I think it must be difficult for the master to say it. Li Qingxuan listened to it from the sidelines, feeling a little embarrassed.

"And, I just sent those talismans, cinnabar, didn't this sour scholar take it away with a look of a wealth fan?" Another sentence in early summer made Li Qingxuan a little crying and laughing, was the seven-foot man so obsessed with money at that time?

At the end, Chu Xia finally sighed and said, "Miss, he saved you once, and our master also paid for it, and the right to be the medical fee, it will be clear." Why are you still so concerned about this sour scholar?" Miss Cui's face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "I slapped him that day, and I didn't want to go." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Xia suddenly said angrily: "That sour scholar is obviously taking advantage of you, don't talk about beating him, if you want me to see him, you have to smash him with a vase." A layer of blush appeared on Miss Cui's fair face, and she said in shame: "Little girl, what nonsense? People are treating diseases, which is taking advantage of what? Just you are talking nonsense, saying such ugly words." ”

"No, no, no. Chu Xia shook her head and said, "Who knows if that sour scholar is a fake public and private? After being cured, he still came to take advantage of him and get addicted?" Miss Cui hurriedly kicked her lightly and said angrily: "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
