Chapter 23 Healing is not life

Smack!

Wu Zhongjun took advantage of the moonlight to come to the door of the Taoist temple, regardless of the dead of night, gently knocked on the door knocker, not much effort, the door opened, and a gray-haired blue-clothed Taoist walked out of it with a lantern.

Lao Dao lifted the lantern, leaned in front of Wu Zhongjun, saw his appearance clearly by the faint light, and asked in surprise: "Why is Master Wu here now?"

Wu Zhongjun bowed his hand and said: "Come to visit at night, disturb a lot, and ask Old Zhou to forgive your sins!"

"I'm nothing, you came here so late, did you come to see his old man?" asked Old Zhou in a low voice, as if he was afraid of arguing with someone.

"What the Lord said is right, I got the news last night, I heard that Mr. Qimiao came here tonight, and came to visit his old man. ”

"Why should Mr. Wu be in a hurry, his old man is going to stay in Chang'an for a while this time. ”

"Human life is at stake, don't dare not be in a hurry. ”

"Huh, let's get on in!"

The two of them walked one after the other, and walked to the Xuanyouguan, and after a short time, they had already bypassed the main hall and came to the two rows of quiet rooms behind, only to see that the door of one of the quiet rooms was slightly closed, faintly revealing candlelight, and there seemed to be someone inside.

Wu Zhongjun respectfully came to the door of this quiet room, and said loudly: "Chang'an Wu Zhongjun meets Mr. Qimiao. ”

"The Chinese army is here, come in. A crisp voice came from the room.

When Wu Zhongjun heard this, he hurriedly walked to the door, gently pushed open the door, and walked in, followed by Zhou Laoguan, and followed the house together.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, only a cloud bed and a wooden table, but the cleaning is very plain, and it looks like it has been cleaned with care.

On the cloud bed, there was a young man lying reclining, this person looked only about twenty years old, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like bright stars, his black hair was scattered behind his head, his face was lazy, he had changed into a cotton pajamas, and seemed to be about to rest.

"The disciple pays a visit to Mr. Qimiao, the old man has always been fine!" Wu Zhongjun bowed down to salute, and Old Zhou Guan followed suit and saluted with him.

If people who don't know the inside story are here, they must think that these three people have taken the wrong medicine, obviously Mr. Qimiao who is lying on the bed is the youngest, at most in his early twenties, Shi Zhongjun and Lao Guan are much older, one is almost forty years old, the other is full of white hair, at least sixty years away, but the older ones call the younger ones the old people, and the younger ones don't think it's weird, how weird this scene is, how weird it is.

But both Wu Zhongjun and Lao Guan Master understand that the real age of this young man in front of him does not know how much more than the two of them, at least Old Guan Juan Zhou still remembers that forty years ago, when he was still young, this person was like this, and forty years later, his demeanor is still the same, as if there has been no change in the slightest.

"Zhongjun, you are not a member of the Daomen, you don't need to make such a big gift, just ask me to return. ”

"How dare the disciple!"

"Is there something wrong with you coming so late?" asked in a loud voice.

"The disciple came here today to ask Mr. to save his life!" Wu Zhongjun said solemnly.

"Judging from your face, although there have been small setbacks in the near future, the future is a thoroughfare, and I really can't talk about saving lives. She looked at him and smiled.

"Don't hide it from Mr., I'm not here for myself, I'm here to save my nephew Li Tianhua. Wu Zhongjun said in a deep voice.

"What's going on?"

"It's a long story, this child is born with a hard life, and he is the son of my sister Wu Zhongying and my brother-in-law Li, who has been dependent on his sister since they were killed a few years ago. Shi Zhongjun said.

"Wait, Li Yiju, why does this name sound like a child of the Li family in Chang'an?" asked in a interjection.

"Mr. is right, Li Yiju is not only a child of the Li family, but also a descendant of the Li family. ”

"That's strange, your martial arts family and the Li family have been feuding since the Tang Dynasty, and the feud is as deep as the sea, and they will actually marry. ”

It is precisely because of the child's origin, after the sister and brother-in-law were killed, the two families did not care about the two children, and let them drift in the world. At first, I thought that I could get out of the whirlpool of feud between Li and Wu, although it was ordinary, but it was also a blessing for the two children, but unexpectedly, at the beginning of this year, Li Tianhua suddenly became seriously ill, and there was no way in the mortal hospital, unless it was a master of medicine in the cultivation world, willing to refine elixir for him, there was a chance of recovery, but unfortunately I have always been in Hongchen, taking care of foreign affairs for the family, and I don't know anything about cultivation, so I asked the family for help, and the clan refused to help on the grounds that the two children were surnamed Li, so I asked for help from Mr. ”

"You martial artists don't care, I still figure it out, since these two children are surnamed Li, they can also be regarded as the descendants of the Li family, don't the Li family care?"

"For some reason, the Li family really doesn't care. Wu Zhongjun said.

"Oh. He frowned slightly.

"Please have mercy on you, sir!" Shi Zhongjun fell to his knees with a "poof".

"Get up, report his birthday, and let me count it. ”

"Okay. Wu Zhongjun immediately reported Li Tianhua's birthday.

After a while, he opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "I can't save this child." ”

"Ahh

"I said I can't save it, it's not that I can't cure his illness, I can't save his life, although you don't know how to practice, you should also know that the doctor can't cure the disease, Li Tianhua has this death in his life, even if I refine medicine for him, there will definitely be accidents, there will be changes in the condition, and it will be difficult to escape death after all. ”

"It's... This... Is there really nothing to think about?" Wu Zhongjun's face turned a little pale.

"Unless someone can jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, and not bound by the number of lives, he can change his life, but such a great power has not been in the mortal dust for hundreds of years, let alone you, even I have not seen it. He also said in detail.

"Alas... In this case, the disciple retired. Wu Zhongjun slowly got up from the ground, his whole body was soft and soft, without half strength, as if he had been pulled out of his bones, he slowly withdrew backwards, and before going out, he suddenly raised his head and said: "Sir, someone has recently prescribed a pair of medicine for my nephew, which seems to have some effect, I don't know if Mr. can look at it again and see if he can increase or decrease the ingredients." ”

"You present it. ”

Wu Zhongjun hurriedly took out a prescription from his pocket, which was the prescription that Pang Xie prescribed for Li Tianhua.

He also took the prescription, glanced at it, and said: "This prescription is good, although it can't save lives, but it can be regarded as symptomatic, so I won't change it." ”

"The disciple understands. ”

After saying that, Wu Zhongjun slowly withdrew from the quiet room, and accompanied by the Lord of Zhou Guan, they left the Xuanyouguan Temple together and walked down the mountain step by step.

At this time, the east is white, the sky shows a glimmer of light, and the majestic scene in the Qinling Mountains has just emerged, but the Wuzhong army is sad and has no mood to appreciate the scenery.

......

Looking at the slightly clumsy back of Wu Zhongjun, Zhou Guan shook his head, returned to Guanzhong, strolled to the quiet room where Mr. Qimiao was, and sighed and said: "Sir, it is also a good thing that you did not promise to save the life of Wu Zhongjun's nephew, and you have saved a lot of trouble. ”

"Why is that?" asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Xiaodao has been in Chang'an Mansion for a long time, and I have heard some rumors, it is said that the death of Li Tianhua's parents is extremely complicated, involving a public case of the Li family, and no one in the Li family has taken action, but it is not mean. ”

"What's involved?"

"It is said that Li Yiju got a rare treasure at the beginning, and he died soon after he got it, and he didn't understand, for this treasure, the three veins of the Li family also fought infighting for a long time, and then it was gone, and I don't know what the ending was, but, thinking about it, since this treasure is obtained by Li Yiju, even if Li Yiju dies, it should be inherited by Li Tianhua. ”

"But Li Tianhua doesn't know how to practice..."

"Sir Mingjian, this is where the joints are. ”
