Chapter 25: Old Knowledge
Zhao Ziming and Qing Yuan, you are staring at me, I am staring at you, and I can't get up for a while.
"What is the relationship between you and Daoist Yunsong?" A somewhat weak voice sounded in the courtyard, but it was Xu Wen who woke up at some point, leaning against the door, staring at the young Taoist priest.
Qing Yuan pursed his lips, "What's the matter with you?"
Xu Wen stared at him for a while, and said with some confusion: "Are you Xiao Qingyuan?" He seemed to confirm his guess, and then said: "By the way, you are Xiao Qingyuan, don't you remember me? ”
Qing Yuan's body stiffened, and then he was overjoyed, and shouted: "Uncle Xu, it's you, great, I finally found you!" Seeing his happy appearance, if he didn't move, I was afraid that he would have pounced directly on Xu Wen.
Zhao Ziming's eyes were stunned, and he said hesitantly: "Mr. Xu, you ...... Do you know this kid?"
Xu Wen walked slowly into the courtyard, smiled slightly, and said to Zhao Ziming: "Ziming, thank you for saving your life this time, he kid, I knew him ten years ago." ”
Qing Yuan was also dumbfounded, and then remembered that he had mistaken Uncle Xu for a gang just now, and not only was he extremely rude to Zhao Ziming, but he also fought hard, even if he was out of nature, he couldn't help but be red at the moment, and he was ashamed.
He stumbled for a long time before he showed an apologetic expression to Zhao Ziming and said, "Brother Qianming, I was reckless, I'm sorry for you." ”
At this time, the blood in Qing Yuan's legs was already unblocked, he stood up, walked to Zhao Ziming's side, and was about to reach out to pull him.
Zhao Ziming jumped up by himself, clapped his hands, and said: "Since it is a misunderstanding, don't mention it more, the most important thing at the moment is to heal Mr. Xu's injuries." ”
Qing Yuan was quite surprised that Zhao Ziming could break through the sealed acupoint path so quickly, but he said: "Brother Qianming, where is the medical Dao master you are talking about, and how far is it?"
On the mountain road, two figures flashed by, if it weren't for the dust behind them, ordinary people would be dazzled when they saw it.
Zhao Ziming looked at Qing Yuan, who was walking side by side with him, and was very shocked in his heart. He had already taken out the fastest speed, but Qing Yuan could still easily follow him with a person on his back, and he was more than one step ahead of him in terms of light skills.
After the two turned enemies into friends, they discussed it a little and decided to take turns carrying Xu Wen on their backs in the most direct way and rushing to Jiuli Mountain.
Before leaving, Zhao Ziming gave the horse to Niu Er, and he had a good impression of this man who was not good at words and had a pure temperament.
And the conversation when he was in a hurry also let Zhao Ziming know the reason why Qing Yuan hated the gang so much. It turned out that when Qing Yuan was still in infancy, his parents once went out, encountered two gangs fighting, couldn't avoid it, and were killed.
Qingyuan, who grew up, learned about his background and vowed not to save the gang in this life, no matter what.
The group of three rarely rested, and finally arrived at Jiuli Mountain before dark.
Yakudo. Zhao Ziming heard that the medicine boy said that the master was still in the hall, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and went straight to the inner courtyard with Xu Wen on his back. Qing Yuan followed behind him, although he already knew in advance, he was still in the gang headquarters, and he still had a look of uncertainty on his face.
Seeing the master, Zhao Ziming introduced Xu Wen and Qingyuan, and briefly talked about the experience of this trip to the mountain, and was about to ask the master to save people, but the master took the lead in speaking.
"Brother Xu Wen, long time no see. The medicine old monster's face was complicated, and the palm on the table trembled slightly.
Xu Wen was seriously injured and had not healed, and he had been bumpy for a whole day, his spirit was sluggish, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "You...... Are you?"
The old medicine monster said slowly: "The sea is endless, the sky is endless, the poor should die, the sea and the sky are the same." ”
Every time he said a word, Xu Wen trembled. After finishing speaking, Xu Wen suddenly stood up and shouted wildly: "Big brother!" vomited blood and passed out.
The old medicine monster held Xu Wen, his face was full of tears at this time, he turned his head to Zhao Ziming and said, "Qianming, there is me here, you go down to rest first." ”
Even if Zhao Ziming was full of questions, he didn't say much, and led Qing Yuan, who was also puzzled, to get up and retreat.
For the next three days, Yao Lao Wei didn't leave the room for a single step, and it wasn't until the fourth day that Zhao Ziming and Qingyuan were called into the room.
Xu Wen sat at the table, his face improved a lot, he smiled and motioned for the two to sit down, and said to Zhao Ziming: "Qianming, I haven't seen you for two years, I didn't expect you to have such a big change." ”
His name for Zhao Ziming has changed from Ziming to Qianming, since he learned about Zhao Ziming's recent situation from the medicine old monster when he was healing in the past few days, although he doesn't know why Zhao Ziming changed his name and surname, but with his life experience, he knows how to deal with it.
Zhao Ziming said: "Qianming didn't expect that after saying goodbye that day, there would be a reunion with Mr. Xu today. ”
Xu Wen looked at Qingyuan again, "Xiao Qingyuan, how did you come to me, you have suffered a lot from here." ”
Qing Yuan was a little embarrassed when he heard this title, touched his head and said: "Master heard that Uncle Xu was injured by Fu Danqing and fled two years ago, and he was in the imperial city and had no time to get out, so he sent a message to me to come to the rescue. ”
Xu Wen nodded and said, "It's really hard Xiao Qingyuan." ”
The medicine old monster suddenly asked, "Qingyuan Junior Daoist, I haven't met with Yunsong Daoist for a long time, I don't know how his old man is now?"
Qing Yuanmian hesitated, and he wanted to speak again. Xu Wen smiled and said: "This is your Uncle Xu's brother in life and death, surnamed Li, you can call Uncle Li, he and your master are also old acquaintances, by the way, his medical skills are not under your master." ”
Qing Yuan was afraid of suspicion, and respectfully bowed to the old man of the medicine as a junior, called "Li Bo", and said: "Don't dare to be called the Taoist, Li Bo just call me Qing Yuan, Qing Yuan has often corresponded with the master in the past two years, and his old man is in good health, but he is confined to the palace, and his heart is not very comfortable." ”
Xu Wen frowned and asked, "Yun Song Dao is free and easy, and he doesn't like restraint, how can he go to that deep palace compound?"
Qing Yuan smiled bitterly: "The queen mother is in poor health, and the emperor issued a royal decree to invite the master to enter the palace for treatment, and the master didn't want to go, but ...... But the Protector Elder also sent a message to summon him later, how could Master refuse?"
Xu Wen was shocked: "Elder Protector!"
The medicine monster on the side heard the words "the queen mother is sick", his face changed slightly, and then fell into a deep silence.
After chatting for a while, Qing Yuan took out a mahogany locket and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xu Wen, "Uncle Xu, this is what Master asked me to deliver to you before leaving." ”
Xu Wen opened the wooden box, a peculiar fragrance spread, there was a round pill in the box, he closed the box with a solemn face, "Yunsong Dao has a heart, now my injury has stabilized, this big pill, Qing Yuan should take it back." ”
Qingyuan said: "Uncle Xu, it's not that you don't know Master's temper, if you don't accept it, I will be scolded again when I go back." ”
Xu Wen had no choice but to accept the pill. Qing Yuan got up, bowed to the three of them, and said, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Li, Brother Qianming, Qing Yuan's task has been completed, and he will return to Guanzhong, and there will be a period later." ”
Xu Wen said: "Since this is the case, then Qingyuan will be careful on the road." He turned to Zhao Ziming and said, "Qianming, give Qingyuan a ride for me." ”
After Zhao Ziming and the two left, Mu Zijing, who was dressed in a black robe, entered the room, without a mask, and the two scars on his face were extremely hideous, but his face was full of joy, and he bowed deeply to Xu Wen, "Teacher." ”
Xu Wen was stunned, and then shrugged up, "It's too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Mu Zijing smiled miserably, "Now I am still some kind of prince?" I have changed my name to Mu Zijing, and the teacher can call me Zijing." ”
Xu Wen glanced at him deeply, nodded and said, "Whether it's Li Jing or Mu Zijing, it's good that you're still alive." ”
The medicine old monster asked at this time: "Zijing, Fu Danqing sent people to help the gang, how is the current situation in the gang?"
Mu Zijing said: "It's not optimistic, we have three more halls that have been broken, and Qiu Chen threatened to break my hall every day in the future, and after half a month, I will swear to go to Jiuli Mountain." ”
"Swear to Jiuli Mountain...... The old monster sneered, turned his head to Xu Wen and said, "Old Xu, it's up to you this time, I need a ...... Deadly Crossbow. ”
Xu Wen frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to use that thing?" If it is exposed, the emperor will not be able to send troops to encircle and suppress it. ”
The medicine old monster said slowly: "I have my own plan. ”
With the help of the Canghai Gang, there were ten more eighth-layer masters, and they were like bamboos all the way, pulling out all the outer halls of the Lone Wolf Gang, and forcing the rest of the people to Jiuli Mountain.
At this point, the Lone Wolf Gang was about to be destroyed, and Qiu Chen, the leader of the Platoon Gang, ordered to slaughter the entire gang with blood, leaving no one behind. In this way, the intention of some people to surrender was completely extinguished, and the remaining people of the Lone Wolf Gang all fought bloodily, desperately resisting with the terrain, and for a while, the platoon gang was blocked at the foot of Jiuli Mountain.
Late one night, the four elders of the Lone Wolf Gang, the medicine old monster, infiltrated the platoon gang alone, and fought against many platoon gang masters, including Qiu Chen, with the strength of one person, and the result was surprising, the medicine old monster not only killed nine eight-layer masters, but also escaped unscathed!
Subsequently, Mu Zijing led the master to launch a fierce counterattack, and the platoon gang had no tendency to crush it in the case of a large loss of high-end combat power, and retreated again.
However, Qiu Chen did not give up, occupied Futian Town, blocked all the external passages of the Lone Wolf Gang, and surrounded Jiuli Mountain. Because the platoon gang has an absolute advantage in numbers, Mu Zijing is helpless about it, and the two gangs are in a stalemate again.
Zhao Ziming didn't know about these things, and after he sent Qing Yuan away that day, he went to visit Zhanyun. Zhan Yun was seriously injured and had just woken up from a coma, and he was very happy to see Zhao Ziming, and the two chatted for a long time.
Then, Zhao Ziming received an order from the medicine old monster to lead more than ten medicine boys and a few disciples who were familiar with the jungle to go to the mountains to collect medicine, and Tie Niu also went with him.
