Chapter 4 The Taiping Dart Bureau
As soon as he heard the sound, he asked the driver to stop. He jumped out of the car to see that it was Yuan Fengming and Che Hai hurrying from behind.
A little puzzled in his heart, Xiao Yi secretly said, what is the matter with these two people? He walked to the back of the car and said to the master in the carriage.
Yuan Fengming looked apologetic, and said to the Qingyun Dao Chang in the car: "There are many people at the banquet, and it is difficult to go into detail, so I stop the Dao Chang's car here, and invite Dao Chang Haihan!"
Qingyun Daoist glanced at Yuan Fengming, who was full of eagerness, and said gently: "It's okay, if the girl has anything, please tell me directly." ”
"Here...... Please forgive the little woman for being presumptuous, I wonder if I can ask the Taoist chief to move to the Taiping Dart Bureau to speak?" looked a little uneasy, and Yuan Fengming's tone was hesitant.
Daoist Qingyun glanced at the other party, and said, "Please lead the way." ”
I didn't expect Daoist Qingyun to be so easy to speak, Yuan Fengming immediately replied in surprise: "Okay! Thank you Daoist Chief! Please come with me." ”
The sea of cars behind Yuan Fengming was also happy, rubbed his hands fiercely, and shouted loudly to the coachman: "Do you know the Taiping Dart Bureau? ”
The three-year-old child in Taiping Town also knows the gate of the dart game. The dart head is relieved," the driver replied cheerfully.
Looking at all this, Xiao Yi became more and more curious. He sat down in the front of the car again, drove the carriage with the coachman to carry the master, and followed Yuan Fengming and Che Hai towards the Taiping Dart Bureau.
The Taiping Dart Bureau is located on the north side of Xitou Road on Cross Street.
On both sides of the door of the dart board, a pair of stone lions are angry and round-eyed, and under the main house of the beams and cornices, are the four golden characters of the Taiping Dart Bureau. In front of the door, there is a flagpole three or four feet high, and at the top of the flagpole, there is a Taiping dart flag with gold characters on a red background and a black flame gilt. There are also two stone drums and horse-tied stakes next to the foot-high threshold, and the whole dart game is full of majesty and grandeur.
When the car arrived at the door, Yuan Fengming and Che Haihai stepped forward to help Qingyun Daochang get out of the car, but they didn't expect Qingyun Daochang to push the two away with his hand, and he jumped out of the car by himself. Seeing Xiao Yi snickering in the back, Master will only let me support me alone. He was secretly smug again.
The door of the dart game opened, and a sturdy middle-aged man strode out inside, full of beard and extraordinary momentum.
Yuan Fengming and Che Haihai saluted.
"I've seen my uncle!
It turned out that this was Yuan Fengming's uncle, the deputy head of the dart bureau, Yuan Wanwu.
Yuan Wanwu saw Daoist Qingyun and Xiao Yi and the two Taoist priests, his expression was slightly stunned, and he moved his gaze to Yuan Fengming. The latter hurriedly whispered a few words.
Yuan Wanwu immediately looked abrupt, hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Qingyun Dao Chang is a rare guest, so Yuan was surprised, and he was afraid that the etiquette would not be good. I heard Feng Ming say this, Yuan Mou thanked the aisle chief in advance!"
Listening to this, it is obvious that although Yuan Wanwu is rude on the outside, he is also shrewd on the inside.
Daoist Qingyun shook his head lightly and said, "Vice Chief Darthead, there is no need to be polite! Lao Dao was invited by Miss Yuan, and he didn't know why. ”
"It's easy to say! Yuan Wanwu said busily.
Xiao Yi and his master and Yuan Fengming came to the living room of the dart game. The living room is facing the courtyard, which is wide and bright, but it is empty and empty. On both sides of the courtyard are some weapons, stone locks and other things. It seems that this courtyard is also a training ground for the dart game. The first time he entered the dart game, Xiao Yi's eyes were full of curiosity.
Yuan Wanwu led the master and apprentice of Qingyun Dao to sit in the guest seat, and after Yuan Fengming presented the tea cup to the two, he motioned for Che Hai and Yuan Fengming to sit down on the side, and then saluted the master and apprentice with fists again: "Here's the thing......"
It turns out that although the Taiping Dart Bureau is located in the remote Taiping Town, it is the largest dart bureau in Siping County, with many dart divisions under it, and there are halls in various towns and towns in Siping County. Most of the valuables and correspondence between the towns and villages in Siping County are borne by the Dart Bureau. That is to say, the dart board not only bears the dart, but also has the meaning of a carriage or a post station. The business of the dart bureau is very prosperous, and it also has contacts with the dart bureau of other state cities and counties, so that the goods can be passed through the world and the wealth can reach all over the world. This is also a common means of operation in the dart game.
Last month, the dart bureau received an order from the state capital Qincheng dart bureau, which was to transfer a batch of goods through Siping County. As long as the Taiping Dart Bureau escorts the goods safely through Siping County, and then transfers them to the Longcheng Dart Bureau in Jincheng. What I didn't expect was. Three days ago, when the dart bureau escorted the goods through the black wind outlet near the west hundred miles of the Taiping Mountains, there was an accident.
There is a group of bandits entrenched in the black wind outlet, about one or two hundred people. This gang of thieves, under the leadership of the leader Liu Yidao, has plagued all directions for decades. The government encircled and suppressed several times, but Liu Yidao was insidious and cunning, and the officers and soldiers retreated into the Taiping Mountains to hide.
Heifengkou is located at the junction of several towns in Siping County, and is a walking artery for merchants. There has never been an accident so far, and every time the dart is played in time, the bandits will turn a blind eye and let the dart team pass. Otherwise, fighting for both sides will be a lose-lose situation, which neither side wants to see.
Due to the booming business of the dart board, the dart master was overwhelmed for a while, and Mr. Yuan, who had not been dart for several years, personally went out and took his men to take the dart. But I never expected that I was pecked by geese all year round.
When the dart team passed through the black wind outlet, and the dart master of the team gave the thieves who blocked the road to buy the money, the bow and arrow of the hidden weapon suddenly fired in the grass on the mountain and the side of the road, and the dart team was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
Yuan Wanzhang, who was furious, fought forward with a ring-backed chopping knife. Unexpectedly, a masked man suddenly burst out and hit Yuan Wanzhang in the chest with a palm, when Yuan Wanzhang spat blood and fell to the ground, but before falling to the ground, he also used a hand-throwing knife. The masked man was a little light after the first blow, but he didn't expect Yuan Wanzhang's big knife to get out of his hand and be slashed in the waist and abdomen by the heavy mountain chopper.
The dart master of the team saw that the head of the dart was seriously injured, and the thief was also shocked by Yuan Wanzhang's hand knife, and then took advantage of the chaos to abandon the dart, snatched the head of the dart Yuan Wanzhang and fled back.
When Yuan Wanzhang was carried back to the dart game covered in blood, the dart game was inevitably hectic. Yuan Fengming was busy sending someone to recall his uncle Yuan Wanwu and his senior brother Che Hai, and at the same time asked the doctor of the dart bureau to treat his father. Fortunately, the doctor of the dart bureau was also good at treating knife wounds, and Yuan Wanzhang's life was saved, but he was still unconscious.
But the house leak will be rained, that is, as the saying goes, the disaster is not a single line. The owner of the dart also came to the door after escaping from the black wind. There is also how to explain to the Dragon City Dart Bureau, if it goes on like this, the whole dart game will be messed up.
When Qianqiu Fu Wine Workshop sent an invitation to his granddaughter's full moon wine, Yuan Fengming didn't want to go. It's not a good idea for a family to be in a hurry. After being persuaded by his uncle Yuan Wanwu, Yuan Fengming asked Che Hai to accompany him on a trip, but he didn't expect to meet Qingyun Daoist at the banquet. Yuan Fengming saw that the other party seemed to know him, and he seemed to have heard his father mention that in the Xuanyuan Temple thirty miles away, there was a strange person Qingyun Dao Chief. Later, she witnessed the fairy-like ghost drawing of the Taoist on the spot, and she had great expectations that the Qingyun Taoist would be able to cure her father.
There were many people at the banquet, and Yuan Fengming was not easy to speak, so he followed the master and apprentice of Qingyun Dao, and invited the two to the dart game. Yuan Wanwu immediately understood everything, and roughly described what was happening here in front of and behind him.
After listening to Yuan Wanwu's explanation, Xiao Yi was also very satisfied with the curiosity left at the banquet.
Yuan Wanwu said: "I didn't have a Dao Elder in advance, please Dao Leader Haihan! I don't know if the Dao Elder can treat my brother?"
Qingyun Dao Chang nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "You can help the head of the dart, and Lao Dao will not stand idly by." But Lao Dao has traveled all over the world all his life, and he can be regarded as having a lot of experience, and he is also a little familiar with the art of Qi Huang, but he did not personally visit the injury of the head of the dart, and Lao Dao did not dare to say anything. ”
Yuan Wanwu got up in surprise and looked at Qingyun Daoist deeply.
As long as the old Taoist is willing to come to the rescue, it will be a great favor to the Yuan family and the Taiping Dart Bureau, and Yuan has thanked the old Taoist here!"
Qingyun Dao Chang slowly stood up, raised his hand to support him, and said in a deep voice: "The deputy chief dart head doesn't have to be like this, where is the chief dart head?
Yuan Fengming was pleasantly surprised, and she said sweetly: "Old Daoist, please come with me." ”
Yuan Fengming led the way in front, Qingyun Daochang, Xiaoyi, Yuan Wanwu and Che Hai followed and came to a courtyard in Erjin. I saw that the courtyard was full of people, a burly man, with a fierce expression, but with an anxious face. Seeing the arrival of Yuan Fengming and his entourage, the group hurriedly dodged away and made way out of the aisle in front of the door.
When the group walked into the house, they saw a stout middle-aged man lying on a bed, with a heavy beard, a red face, and closed eyes. At the head of the bed sat a middle-aged woman, sobbing quietly. When she heard the commotion, the woman looked up at the crowd with a look of surprise. Among the people in front of her, in addition to the ones she knew, there was also an old Taoist priest with gray sideburns and a little Taoist boy with a shrunken head behind him.
Yuan Fengming stepped forward and gently grabbed the woman's arm, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't panic! This is the Qingyun Daoist of Xuanyuan Temple, who came to diagnose his father's injuries." ”
When Yuan Fengming's mother heard this, she hurriedly wiped the tears on her cheeks, got up and saluted Qingyun Dao Chang, and said with a crying voice: "It turned out to be Qingyun Dao Chang, I haven't seen it for a long time, and the little woman is clumsy and didn't recognize it." There is a long way, and the little woman will give a salute to the chief!"
Qingyun Dao bowed his head and looked at Yuan Wanzhang, who was unconscious on the bed. Lao Dao pondered for a while, then sat on the chair in front of the bed, stretched out two fingers, lightly touched Yuan Wanzhang's wrist veins, and closed his eyes silently.
Xiao Yi also stood tightly behind Qingyun Dao Elder with the sword on his back, staring at all this with wide eyes. The people in the room were silent and did not dare to speak. As if a long time had passed, Daoist Qingyun opened his eyes. Everyone stared at the old Taoist priest eagerly. Daoist Qingyun looked around at the people standing around, let go of the fingers that were holding the pulse, and said, "Don't worry! The head of the dart was injured by the strong palm force and the viscera, but fortunately, the treatment was timely and the medicine was appropriate, and his life is now fine!"
After a pause, Daoist Qingyun continued: "The head of the dart is red, because of the stagnation of the lung meridians. The coma is caused by the accumulation of qi and blood in the chest and the poor breathing. If it is not treated in time, Mr. Ren will fall asleep and will never wake up again. ”
"Ahh Yuan Fengming's eyes were also red, and everyone around him had an anxious look.
Daoist Qingyun smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay! There is an old Daoist, please don't be impatient!"
Xiao Yi is behind the master, and he is also happy for everyone's words from the master. After following the master for so many years, he knew that the master's medical skills were excellent, not that he himself said that he was slightly familiar with the way of Qi Huang, but that he was much stronger than ordinary doctors. The master taught Xiao Yi never to hide his selfishness, and for medical Taoism, Xiao Yi also studied with the master for many years. Xiao Yi also has some opinions about the illness of the head of the dart, and he believes that the master can wake up Yuan Wanzhang.
"Take off your shirt and sit up. Qingyun Dao Commander commanded.
Che Hai and Yuan Wanwu hurriedly stepped forward to help, took off Yuan Wanzhang's shirt, and helped him sit cross-legged on the bed according to the instructions of Qingyun Dao Chief.
"Make room for the old way. Daoist Qingyun continued to command.
Everyone hurriedly took a few steps back, and Xiao Yi also hurriedly stepped back and stood with everyone.
Behind the left hand of Qingyun Dao Chang, he stretched out the two fingers of his right hand to make a sword finger, held his breath and concentrated for a moment, and suddenly shot out like lightning, the sword finger flew like a butterfly, and quickly asked for acupoints on Yuan Wanzhang's chest and back.
Xiao Yi's eyes widened, and he could see clearly, the point technique used by the master was obviously the Xuanyuan swordsmanship, and the Xuanyuan swordsmanship could be used with the sword finger to perform in a square inch, as fast as lightning and as light as willow smoke. The acupuncture points that the master pointed out were all parts of the dredging veins that Xiao Yi knew, and he had a trace of enlightenment in his heart.
As Qingyun Dao Chang's technique accelerated, everyone saw Yuan Wanzhang's face becoming more and more red.
Qingyun Dao Chang gestured, the sword finger of his right hand changed into a palm, and he secretly used his internal strength, and gently patted Yuan Wanzhang's back lung Yu acupoint, only to see Yuan Wanzhang's eyes open suddenly, and he opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood.
"Ahh
"Daddy!"
"Big brother!"
"Master!"
Seeing Yuan Wanzhang wake up, everyone was surprised inexplicably, and hurriedly surrounded him, helped Yuan Wanzhang to lie down gently, and brought clothes to cover Yuan Wanzhang's body.
"Ahem, you're all there, I'm asleep...... How many days?"
Yuan Wanzhang looked at his relatives in front of him with a weak expression, and asked intermittently.
Yuan Fengming replied with joy: "Daddy, you have been asleep for three days, which makes your mother and the people in the dart game worried." Fortunately, thanks to the help of Qingyun Dao Chief, Daddy woke up. As she spoke, she flashed around, allowing Yuan Wanzhang to see Qingyun Dao Chang and Xiao Yi standing in front of the bed.
Qingyun Daoist nodded slightly to Yuan Wanzhang, who woke up, and said:
"It's good to wake up the head of the dart, I have prescribed a prescription for you, and it will slowly heal after a while. ”
"I haven't seen the Taoist for a long time! Ahem! This time, Yuan Mou is thanks to the Daoist Chief's treatment! Ahem! Many years ago, he received the favor of the Daoist, and the Daoist is as kind as a mountain to my Yuan family...... Ahem!"
After hearing this, Xiao Yi secretly guessed that this Yuan Wanzhang should have been treated by the master many years ago. I'm going to go back and ask Master what this is all about.
"The total dart head does not have to be like this, it is also a blessing to be able to help the total dart head! Fortunately, the total dart head is no longer in serious trouble, and it is important to recuperate from injuries with peace of mind. ”
After Qingyun Daoist gave a sentence, he immediately asked for a pen and paper, prescribed a prescription for Wen Bu, and warned Mrs. Yuan that she should avoid the medicine of tigers and wolves, and that the internal injuries of martial artists can only be treated with slow kung fu to treat both the symptoms and the root causes. Then he took Xiao Yi's resignation and retained everyone, got into the carriage, and rushed to Xuanyuan Temple.
It was past noon, and Xiao Yi sat at the front of the car, thinking about the master and a bunch of packages in the carriage, and his heart blossomed. The shopkeeper of Qianqiu Fujiu Brewery not only gave two jars of wine, but also a bag of japonica rice and salt, plus a ham and half a piece of bacon. In the package sent by the dart bureau, in addition to a few new clothes and shoes, a hundred taels of silver were also stuffed inside. The master is a person who does not want to repay his kindness, but these are also necessary for the master and apprentice to make a living.
Xiaoyi is happy that for a long time to come, the master and apprentice will not worry about eating and drinking.
"Haha!" Thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud......
