Chapter 23: Twists and Turns (I)

Chen Jianping was full of joy, said goodbye to the medicine fairy, walked out of the hut, and saw Qi Ruoxue sitting by the stream outside the courtyard, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and the slight sound of the stream came, which made people feel very quiet and serene, somehow, Chen Jianping couldn't help but go over gently, and slowly sat next to Qi Ruoxue, the two glanced at each other and didn't speak.

After a while, Qi Ruoxue looked at the stream at her feet and said softly: "I heard my father say that you were also an orphan before you entered the Xuanyu Gate. ”

Chen Jianping lowered his head and said slowly: "Well, I don't know who my biological parents are since I was a child, and for as long as I can remember, I have lived in a small village called 'Mulberry Leaf Village' on the border of southern Xinjiang. ”

There was only the sound of the stream around quietly, and suddenly he seemed to notice something, Chen Jianping raised his head and said, "Sister, why do you say that I am also an orphan......?"

Qi Ruoxue turned her face, half of her face was reflected in the moonlight, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "When the immortal weng went into the mountain to collect medicine, he picked me up on the side of the mountain road, and my parents didn't want me since I was a child." ”

Chen Jianping was slightly stunned and said, "I guess your parents have some difficulties to ......"

"I don't hate them," Qi Ruoxue said briskly. "If I hate them, I'll really become an orphan without a father or a mother, I just want to see them, even if it's enough to look up from afar, to know where they are, to see what they do every day. ”

After speaking, Qi Ruoxue handed over the sewn clothes, Chen Jianping reached out and took it, only to see the small thin shirt, folded in a boxy box, Chen Jianping glanced at Qi Ruoxue gratefully, and for a moment the four eyes looked at each other, stunned.

In a trance, Qi Ruoxue had already got up lightly and entered the courtyard, Chen Jianping's hand holding the clothes suddenly clenched, and a thought could not be suppressed and poured into his mind, "I will do my best to protect her in this life, and never let her suffer any more grievances", then, with a shake of his hand, put on his coat, glanced towards the hut, turned around and strode away.

Early the next morning, Chen Jianping called Ji Xiaowu and Zhao Dazhuang and instructed: "Xiaowu, you go everywhere to inquire, all the disciples who have practiced for three to five years, how they live on weekdays, how they practice, you have to inquire in detail. ”

Ji Xiaowu asked, "Big brother, what are you doing with this?"

Chen Jianping said: "Second brother, these are very useful to me, you just do what I say", Ji Xiaowu nodded and went out.

Chen Jianping continued: "Da Zhuang, listening to what Senior Uncle Chang Jing said, there are also disciples in other palaces and halls of our Xuanyu Sect who faint, but only our disciples of Ziyun Palace are the most serious, and many of them are bedridden. ”

Zhao Dazhuang nodded and said, "Yes, the disciples of the other palaces and halls are just ordinary fainting. ”

Chen Jianping said: "There must be something different from other palaces and halls in the Purple Cloud Palace, that's why it will be like this, the daily diet of our hundreds of disciples, except for rice, vegetables are all self-sufficient, Da Zhuang, you go and investigate, see where the vegetables are planted, and come back to report to me after finding out." Then Zhao Dazhuang answered and turned around.

In the next few days, Chen Jianping and the others were busy almost day and night, and during this period, many disciples fainted, and the people in Ziyun Palace were panicked.

But said that Cai Youliang, seeing Chen Jianping and the three of them going in and out, busy all day long, the psychological boss was not a taste, and instructed his subordinate named Li Chengyi to secretly monitor Chen Jianping's every move, that Li Chengyi and Wu Chang, who was punished for Chen Jianping half a year ago, were fellow villagers, and they had long seen that Chen Jianping was not pleasing to the eye, and when he heard about this errand, he agreed with joy.

On this day, Chen Jianping and others were busy until late at night, after a few days of investigation, Chen Jianping had some eyebrows in his heart, although Ji Xiaowu and Zhao Dazhuang did not understand medical skills, but they visited everywhere, and they were busy before and after, and they helped a lot.

Ji Xiaowu took a prescription and said, "Big brother, can this medicine easily cure this syncope?"

Chen Jianping said: "Second brother, it's hard to say at the moment, the other medicines in this prescription are all similar, but I haven't thought about one of the medicines yet, but it's almost the same." ”

Zhao Dazhuang said happily: "It's good now, we have been busy for so many days, and we finally have a result, so that the eldest brother has shown his face in front of the master and the uncles." ”

Chen Jianping smiled slightly, and said: "This is also the credit of the two brothers! Tomorrow, I will hand over this party to Uncle Chang Jing, and if it is effective, I will definitely give the two brothers a great credit!"

Chen Jianping looked at the hour and said, "Two brothers, follow me to the East Courtyard to have a look, a few seriously ill senior brothers, I always feel at ease if I don't see it a few times." Ji and Zhao nodded at the same time, put down the prescription, and the three of them left the house.

said that Li Chengyi had already informed Cai Youliang of this matter, and Cai Youliang was shocked and said: "Is this true? ”

Li Chengyi said: "Senior brother, this is not good, if they really cure this strange disease, they will make a great contribution, and then we will not be able to do it, if it is really like what you said, Chen Jianping is coming for your position as a disciple in charge, then it will be troublesome!"

Cai Youliang hurriedly said: "Then what can be done, we can't cure this strange disease." ”

Li Chengyi's eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth grinned, and said, "Senior brother, I have a way to ......", as he spoke, he leaned into Cai Youliang's ear and underestimated it for a long time.

Cai Youliang squinted at Li Chengyi and said slowly: "The only plan for today is that it has to be like this!"

At noon on the second day, Chen Jianping and the three of them came to the inner hall with a prescription in their arms, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Cai Youliang, Li Chengyi and others were there, and Uncle Chang Jing saw that Chen Jianping was coming, and said happily: "Jianping, you came just in time, Cai Youliang, the disciple in charge, has written a prescription and cured this strange disease." ”

Chen Jianping was quite surprised, only to see that Cai Youliang said with a smile: "Uncle, the disciple was originally the disciple in charge of the Alchemy Hall, these are all things within the division, in the past few days, the disciple and the junior brother Li Chengyi have repeatedly inspected the practice and daily life of the disciples, and also inspected the dishes used by the disciples, and the hard work paid off, and finally asked the disciples to come up with a way to crack it, and last night it was tried by the sick disciples in the West Courtyard, and the effect was very good, except for a few serious diseases, the other bedridden disciples have been very good." ”

Chang Jing said with a smile on his face: "Well, it's really hard for you, it's really a great blessing to have a disciple like you in the Purple Cloud Palace, I will definitely give the Master."

Senior Brother Lu, I will give you a great credit!"

Cai Youliang smiled all over his face, hurriedly bowed his hand, and said in his mouth: "What did Uncle Shi say, as a disciple in charge of the Medicine Refining Hall, the disciple just wants to contribute to the Ziyun Palace, where is he greedy for any great achievements." ”

Chen Jianping was shocked, and thought: "It's really a person who can't look good, it turns out that this Cai Youliang also came up with a cure."

Chang Jing smiled slightly, praised Cai Youliang, turned his head, took the prescription and said to Chen Jianping: "Jianping, this is a prescription, you can also take it and take a look, and give medicine to the disciples of the Eastern Academy, so that they can recover as soon as possible." ”

Chen Jianping wanted to see Cai Youliang's prescription, nodded in thanks, quickly reached out and took it, looked at it carefully, and suddenly the whole person was speechless, it turned out that Cai Youliang's prescription was exactly the same as his own.

Chen Jianping and the three returned to the room, and Zhao Dazhuang asked, "Big brother, why don't you show Uncle Chang Jing the recipe we have written?"

Chen Jianping didn't answer, looked at the two of them, and slowly took out the prescription he had written from his arms, and spread it on the table together with Cai Youliang's prescription.

Ji Xiaowu said: "Why is this Cai Youliang's recipe the same as ours?"

Chen Jianping frowned and said: "I guess it was me and Cai Youliang who thought of one thing and prescribed the right medicine, so the medicine on the prescription is exactly the same, or it is just ......."

Ji Xiaowu sneered and said: "The rest of the eldest brother is not easy to say, let the brother say it, or his recipe was originally stolen from us, do you think, even if he Cai Youliang can make a recipe, but why doesn't he make it sooner or later, but as soon as we think of the treatment method, he immediately made the recipe, and it was so coincidental that it was handed over to Uncle Chang Jing at noon today." ”

Chen Jianping glanced at Ji Xiaowu, smiled slightly, and said: "It's not easy to say this, we don't have any evidence, this recipe will be used on the disciples who are less ill first, and the two of you will arrange it." Ji and Zhao answered, turned around and went out.

After a few days, the disciples who had used the medicine were getting better one after another, and some of the disciples who were the least ill had recovered, Ji Xiaowu found Chen Jianping and said, "Big brother, the seriously ill disciples should be able to give them medicine now, right?"

Chen Jianping said: "Don't worry, I'm not sure about the 'psyllium' medicine in this prescription, I'll go to a place first, there is something that hasn't been found out yet, and I'll talk about it when I come back."

After a few days in a hurry, Chen Jianping hurriedly rushed into the house that day, grabbed Ji Xiaowu's hand as soon as he entered the house, and asked urgently: "The seriously ill disciple didn't give him medicine, right?"

Ji Xiaowu asked Chen Jianping inexplicably, and said, "Not yet, eldest brother, didn't you say that you shouldn't give the medicine on the prescription to the more seriously ill disciple first?"

Chen Jianping said: "That's good, hey, really, it's going to be a big deal." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, where did Uncle Changjing go to the inner hall, Ji Xiaowu scratched his head inexplicably, greeted Zhao Dazhuang, and followed.
