Cornucopia 3
Not long after, under Shen Wansan's orders, more than a dozen maids around him, along with his eldest son Shen Rong, were all driven out of the room. Only Bai Xiaoyi and Xi Yingzhen, the old and the young, were left busy, and they were busy around the sickbed.
The old Taoist priest asked the apprentice and Shen Wansan to sit cross-legged face to face and put their palms against each other, Bai Xiaoyi mobilized the true qi in his body to infuse it into the withered old man's body, and Xi Yingzhen guided him from the side to help Shen Wansan absorb and digest this true qi that did not belong to him. After arranging everything, the Qingyi Daoist took out a delicate white jade bottle, poured out a tablespoon of milky white liquid for Shen Wansan to drink, and then said with a serious face:
"This medicine is not easy to come by, and it can play a miraculous effect on strengthening the foundation and cultivating the yuan. Brother Shen planned to swallow it, which could reduce the pain caused by the entry of true qi into the body. He turned his head to his apprentice and ordered: "Xiao Yi, you must be careful when you instill true qi, this Shen Yuanwai is very old, and the meridians in his body are relatively fragile, and if he is not careful, the meridians will be broken and he will die." The master will guide you from the side, so that your true qi can flow smoothly into his eight veins of the Qi Sutra, as long as the master shouts to stop, you have to stop immediately, do you understand?"
Nodding seriously, Bai Xiaoyi held his breath and began to mobilize the majestic true qi in his body. After a moment, the young man opened his eyes and nodded at the old Taoist priest. Then he nudged with both palms, and slowly injected a stream of true qi into Shen Wansan's body along his hands.
At the same time, the figure of the Qingyi Daoist turned sharply, and he used the silver needle in his hand to continuously pierce the meridian points of the withered old man, opening the nasal congestion meridians in his body one by one. After finishing, the old Taoist priest stretched out two fingers and guided the foreign true qi towards Shen Wansan's dantian little by little along the direction of the meridian flow.
With the passage of time, the top of Bai Xiaoyi and Shen Wansan's heads began to smoke curling, and small strands of true qi continued to flow out of the young man's body, and as far as the eyes could see, strips of pale cyan true qi were flowing down the arms of the two to Shen Wansan's body, and then under the guidance of the Qingyi Taoist, after a week of wandering, they quietly integrated into the old man's dantian.
After a full stick of incense, large drops of sweat oozed from the faces of the three of them, and Bai Xiaoyi, who consumed the most true qi, was even pale, and he was about to faint. Shen Wansan on the other side had a ruddy complexion, and the dead air that had just run out of oil and lamps was gone.
After introducing the last wisp of true qi into the old man's dantian, Xi Yingzhen sighed softly:
"Close!"
Immediately, his hands flew and he pulled out the silver needles inserted in Shen Wansan's body one by one. At the same time, the exhausted Bai Xiaoyi slowly lowered his arms, and fainted directly after a period of dizziness.
Exploring the pulse of his apprentice, the old Taoist priest let out a sigh of relief and said:
"Stinky boy, I've worked hard for you this time. ”
After settling his apprentice, Xi Yingzhen turned to look at his old friend. I saw that Shen Wansan, who was still dead-looking, was groping his body in disbelief, although the old man's face still showed an old state, but the sharp eyes and the red light on his face proved that his illness had been cured.
Looking at his hands blankly, the old man said suspiciously:
"I ...... I'm ...... Okay?"
With a sigh of relief, the Tsing Yi Taoist replied calmly:
"Yes, you're good. ”
Holding this old friend's hands tightly, Shen Wansan's tone was obviously a little choked:
"Thank you...... Thank you ......."
Gently patting the back of the old man's hand, Xi Yingzhen said softly:
"Don't thank me, thank you, just thank this stinky boy. ”
Glancing at the young man who had fallen asleep, Shen Wansan asked with some concern:
"This kid is going to be fine, right?"
"Don't worry, he just suddenly consumed a part of his true qi, and he was just a little physically exhausted, and he was fine after a sleep. ”
Looking at this young man who treated him with love and pity, Shen Wansan said calmly:
"I wonder how long I'll live?"
After a slight hesitation, Xi Yingzhen said earnestly:
"Don't worry, although you can't live as a hundred-year-old person, there is no problem with living an eighty-year-old life. ”
Hearing his old friend's answer, Shen Wansan muttered with a look of life and death:
"Enough, enough......"
"But, I advise you, it's best not to use that basin again. Otherwise, I won't have the energy to save you again next time I make it like this. ”
With a wry smile, Shen Wansan nodded noncommittally.
"By the way, Brother Xi, what are you going to do later, Your Majesty?"
While packing up the tools, the Qingyi Taoist replied with relief:
"Since you can be saved by this method, then there shouldn't be much of a problem with the little princess. It's just that we need to wait for the child to recover before making arrangements. ”
Nodding slightly, Shen Wansan continued:
"When the time comes, are you going to go to the palace for treatment? That's a princess, and it seems a little unreasonable to let Xiao Yi, a child, meet the princess directly. ”
"Don't worry about this, Your Majesty has its own arrangements. At that time, I'm afraid I still need you, Brother Shen, to cover up. ”
"Okay, if you need someone from me, I'll do it. ”
When the two old guys were chatting on the side, the exhausted Bai Xiaoyi had already fallen into a deep sleep, in which he lived in a big mansion, which contained countless gold, silver and jewelry, endless wine and delicacies, and a little fox who would grab something to eat with him.
On Jubao Mountain, which is only a mile away from Bao'en Temple, the arrogant wind with two swords on his back came alone to a pavilion located on the top of the mountain. Looking at the majestic capital city in the distance, the young man with the sword stood for an hour. In the mountains and forests after the rain, there is a refreshing coolness, completely isolating the summer heat.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the middle of the forest:
"Cangfeng, how are things going?"
The young man with the sword who was originally a little distracted tightened his whole body, and instantly turned around and knelt down and said:
"The disciple is arrogant and has seen the master. ”
The creaking sound of stamping dead leaves came from far and near, and a man in black wearing a hood slowly walked out of the dense forest. This person is in a majestic figure, and there is a proud domineering spirit all over his body.
"Excuse me, do you have the sword pill?"
Bowing his head respectfully, Ao Cangfeng truthfully said:
"The disciple was incompetent and didn't grab that sword pill. However, the disciple is not for nothing, I have obtained the cultivation of Ichikako within the sword pill, and I also have a complete kendo understanding. ”
"Oh?" the man in black asked in a hoarse voice with a little confusion, "What the hell is going on, you tell me in detail." ”
After a stick of incense, Ao Cangfeng truthfully told the man in black about the whole process of his entry into Beijing to seize the treasure. After pondering for a moment, the man in black whose real identity was the owner of the Hidden Sword Mountain Villa said coldly:
"I didn't expect that the dignified Heavenly Machine Pavilion Master would be interested in such a sword immortal's sword pill. Well, since that person intervened and became a teacher, I am afraid that I will not get any benefit, so you should get up first. ”
The sword-bearing boy slowly got up and respectfully handed a scroll of pages to the man in black.
"Master, I have recorded the sword intent of the Taibai Sword Immortal in a few moves that I have comprehended, and I also ask the master to check it. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, the mysterious man named Wan Guizang said in a deep voice:
"Well done. After careful calculation, you are not a failure this time, with the cultivation of this Jiazi and the kendo perception of Taibai Sword Immortal. With your qualifications and talents, your future achievements will never be under the guidance of your teachers. ”
It is rare to hear the arrogant wind of Master's praise and salute respectfully:
"Master Xie praised that the apprentice's achievements today are all the credit of the master. ”
"Well, don't say these polite words. Cangfeng, I have a new task for you. The man in black walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, also looked at the majestic capital from afar, and said in an indifferent tone: "According to what you just said, that young man named Bai Xiaoyi seems to have received the most benefits, with his qualifications, will he threaten you?"
Bowing his head respectfully, Ao Cangfeng replied calmly:
"It's hard to say, although that kid's qualifications are mediocre, he has eighty percent of the sword pill skill in his body after all. Competing with him that day, that kid unexpectedly used the Earth Immortal Sword, if one day he completely digested that sword qi, I'm afraid it would ......" After hesitating for a moment, the young man with the sword asked tentatively: "Master, does the apprentice need to kill him?"
Shaking his head slightly, Wan Guizang said incomprehensibly:
"Not for the time being, if even Xi Yingzhen's old Taoist priest is involved, it means that Zhu Yuanzhang intends to cultivate this young man. You stay by their side, adapt to the situation, and wait for the opportunity to approach Zhu Yuanzhang. ”
"What does the master mean by approaching Zhu Yuanzhang?"
"This is the master's secret order, hoping that someone can become Zhu Yuanzhang's cronies and help find out the news in the court. ”
With a slight stunned face, Ao Cangfeng said with some puzzlement:
"But the disciple has not been deeply involved in the world, and he has always been in contact with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and now he wants to get close to the emperor, I am afraid it will be ......."
Before he could finish speaking, the man in black interrupted in a cold voice:
"Needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang is suspicious by nature, and only people with a simple background like you are more likely to approach him. Rest assured, in the future, the master will arrange for others to secretly assist you. ”
After being silent for a long time, Wan Guizang took a deep breath and whispered meaningfully:
"It seems that the sky is about to change......"
