Chapter 24: The Recipe for Longevity (1)
The continent of Sdipad is a place famous for cultivating immortals. Among the many sects, the Taibai Sect is the pinnacle of its power.
It's a long story, it has to be traced back to many years ago, Elder Taibai, the founder of the Taibai Sect, just because he was the first person in the immortal cultivation world to control his mind and figure out the trick, and successfully ascended to the elder-level figure.
Since then, the Taibai Sect has become famous, and many people want to enter it, even if they are not official disciples, but just doing chores in it, there are often many people vying for a few places.
The name of Taibaimen's heart is called "longevity", but it is very worthy of its name, even if people who practice longevity can not ascend, but they also live with heaven and earth, so it is called longevity.
It's just that because of this, this trick is also picky. Only those who have a pure physique can cultivate, otherwise they will be eaten by it, and at least they will lose most of their cultivation, or they will go mad.
As the one hundred and twenty-eighth head of Taibaimen, Tang Wan's strength is even more unfathomable. It can be said that she is only as good as the previous heads.
When everyone mentions Tang Wanxian Master, they often put her on the altar with worship and awe, and they can only watch from a distance and not play blasphemous.
Tang Wan herself is actually not easy to contact, she only thinks about how to pass on the Taibaimen's mental method and how to better protect everyone.
But in fact, part of the reason is because of her identity, everyone respects and worships her, but they never get close to her.
confirms the sentence, the height is not cold.
It's really strong to the point that it will be unaccompanied and not very cold.
Tang Wan lay on the window edge of the Begonia Garden, dragging his chin with both hands.
It's already a cold winter moon, and at this time there are snowflakes floating outside.
Today was the day when she was going down the mountain to practice, and she was stunned for a moment, then pinned her sword to her waist, put on her cloak and walked out with a bamboo umbrella, leaving deep and shallow footprints in the snow.
Tang Wan raised her head and reached out to catch a snowflake, which had melted in her palm before she could look closely.
She withdrew her hand and continued walking.
Tang Wan didn't plan to make Edgeworth, it would be too high-profile and easy to cause unnecessary incidents. Besides, just going to the town to experience the demon extermination, you don't need to go far.
By the time she reached the entrance of the town, it was already noon. The snow doesn't seem to stop, but it is falling harder.
She sighed, and prepared to find an inn to settle down first, and then go out when the snow stopped.
Who knew that while walking, the soles of her feet suddenly touched something hard, and she fell into the snow without paying attention for a while.
Tang Wan: "......"
She brushed the snow off her face and body, and was about to get up, not thinking much about what had tripped her on the ground.
The bamboo umbrella was thrown away by Tang Wan, and there was still a long way to go from her.
She sighed helplessly, and was about to pick it up, but found that the soles of her feet were quite soft and they didn't know what she had stepped on.
Only then did she look down, and a human figure covered in snowflakes could be faintly seen on the ground. This is the culprit who caused her to fall.
Thanks to her fall, there was more than half of the snow piled on this person, and she could see it at a glance.
It seems that he has been here for a long time, and I don't know if he still has breath...... Most of the time it's out of gas. Tang Wan said in her heart, but she still leaned down, stretched out her hand to probe at the man's neck, and after finding that there was still a rhythm, she sighed helplessly.
"That's it, be a man to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. You're in luck today. Tang Wan didn't know what to pinch in his mouth, the bamboo umbrella turned around on the ground twice with a slight glow, and then it became a lot smaller, until it became the size of half a palm, as if he had consciousness, he obediently got into Tang Wan's sleeve.
She "dug up" the man out of the snow, and just wanted to pinch the trick to remove the snowflakes attached to his body, but she felt that it was inappropriate.
If it melted directly, this person's clothes would probably be soaked.
Tang Wan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and reached out to brush the snow off his body for him.
She then took a closer look at the man's clothes, not so much a garment as a rag, for it was so rotten that there was a hole in almost every small part.
This man didn't look very big, he was estimated to be nine or ten years old, and he was very thin.
Tang Wan inadvertently touched his body in the process of brushing the snow away for him, and she only had one feeling - this child was too thin!
When I touched it with one hand, it felt hard, and I could directly touch the bones.
She frowned, unloaded her cloak and wrapped the child in her arms, and carried him into an inn not far away.
"Xiao Er, I want a guest room and a bucket of hot water. She held the child she had picked up with one hand, and with the other she took out the silver taels from her bosom and placed them in front of the counter.
"Okay, come with me. The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him, led Tang Wan to a guest room, and intimately pushed the door open for her, and then said: "Objective, you wait a minute, the hot water will be delivered immediately." ”
After saying this, he withdrew and closed the door for Tang Wan.
Tang Wan put the person on the bed and held his hand to input internal force for him.
It wasn't until his palms slowly began to sweat that she let go, put her hand on his forehead and probed it, looked at his face again, and was relieved to see that his face was as pale as usual.
It's just that...... His clothes are too shabby, and he really can't withstand the cold.
Tang Wan's gaze turned to his clothes again, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Objectively, the hot water you asked for is here. Can I go in?" Xiao Er knocked on the door and asked tentatively.
"Hmm. Tang Wan pulled her hand back from his forehead and opened the door for Xiao Er.
"Just leave it here. Tang Wan said.
"Okay. Xiao Er put down a bucket of water and closed the door and withdrew.
Tang Wan reached out and tested the water temperature.
Well, just right. She turned and walked to the bedside again, and removed the child's clothes, which were so torn and covered with mud that she left only her trousers, and removed all the other clothes.
Tang Wan took him in his arms and gently put him into the barrel.
Because most guests want hot water for bathing, so Xiao Er understands it without Tang Wan's details, so this wooden barrel is enough for him to lie in it.
Besides, he was so thin, just such a small ball, even if there was one more person in the barrel at the moment, he probably wouldn't feel crowded.
Tang Wan sighed again.
She didn't know how many times she sighed today.
Because the child's body in the water has just warmed up and he is asleep, Tang Wan is very careful to help him clean the sludge on his body.
After washing him cleanly, he took out a clean bath towel and helped him dry his body.
Just when Tang Wan just held him in his arms and was about to put him back on the bed to lie down, the child in his arms trembled his eyelashes and opened his eyes suddenly.
Child: "?"
Tang Wan: "...... That, I can explain. ”
