Chapter Twenty-Six: Warmth
All afternoon, Yue Zixuan did not appear. Luoyue Peak was deserted, and there seemed to be no one else except for a small figure that could be seen on the mountain road.
It was getting late, and after another four hours, I vaguely saw the willow wind coming out, carrying two buckets of clear water, and staggering up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain. In the cold wind, his little face was red from the cold, and he had strips of cloth wrapped around his hands, and his steps were slow, as if a gust of wind could blow it.
He walked over to the water tank and poured two buckets of water into it as if he had riveted his strength. Looking at the two jars full of clear water in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sat down, as if his bones were falling apart. Stretching out his hands, he saw that the strip of cloth that had wrapped the wound before had already been stained red by the blood oozing out. As soon as his mind relaxed, he felt a burst of pain in his hands.
Liu Zifeng took a deep breath, trying to forget the pain in his hand for a while. Sitting on the boulder where Yue Zixuan had sat before, looking into the distance.
The mountain wind gusted, and his somewhat drowsy brain was cleared for a while. Looking into the distance, I felt a sense of confusion in my heart. At his young age, how can he know where the road ahead is. These days have passed, and the hatred in his heart has gradually been diluted, and the rest may just be obsession.
No matter how much you think about it, it's all in vain, maybe everything is already in fate.
Liu Zifeng was stunned looking at the distance, and was slapped in the back, and suddenly jumped and almost fell. When he turned around, he saw that it was Yue Zixuan, and he was suddenly a little annoyed, and said loudly: "Senior sister, do you want to kill me?"
Yue Zixuan "giggled" and laughed, seemingly quite satisfied with being able to scare him every time in this way. Seeing that he was angry, Liu Mei glared and said, "What's the matter? You dare to lose your temper with your senior sister?"
Liu Zifeng's momentum only lowered for a moment, and several senior brothers couldn't find a trace of him these days, only Yue Zixuan looked for him every day and told him all kinds of things about Luoyue Peak. Although it was a little hard to do homework today, in the final analysis, he promised himself. Liu Zifeng thought for a while, lowered his head and did not answer.
Yue Zixuan snorted, and saw Liu Zifeng's hands wrapped in tattered strips of cloth, and the expression on his face moved slightly, and asked, "Stupid, what's wrong with your hands?"
After speaking, he stepped forward to grab Liu Zifeng's arm. The latter hurriedly dodged and said loudly: "Senior sister, I accidentally fell while carrying water, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
When he said this, Liu Zifeng was a little lacking in confidence. He wouldn't have lied, and he didn't dare to look at Yue Zixuan's eyes at this time. He looked left and right, looking for something to divert his gaze. Yue Zixuan knew what was going on when she saw him, and suddenly shouted like a little tiger: "You come over to me!"
Liu Zifeng was startled by this roar, and turned his head to see Yue Zixuan with her hands on her hips, and her beautiful eyes glared at him angrily. Liu Zifeng found out that she had changed into the purple dress again, and the corners of her long hair skirt were blown by the mountain wind.
Liu Zifeng's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "Senior sister, aren't you cold when you're wearing so much?"
Yue Zixuan saw that he couldn't come, but he didn't have the head or brains to ask such a sentence, the anger swished up, and he pressed Liu Zifeng's shoulder. The latter didn't have time to react at all, so he had no choice but to accept his fate. Liu Zi's wind is much worse than Yue Zixuan, and he is not an opponent at all.
Yue Zixuan saw that he was no longer struggling, and her strength in pressing him with one hand was a little smaller, and her tone was much lighter: "It's good to be obedient, I have to clean you up, senior sister?"
As he spoke, he looked at his hands wrapped in blood-red rags, and a look of unbearability flashed on his face. Don't look at Yue Zixuan, who is usually in a hurry, but in the end she is still a girl's family, and her serious appearance makes Liu Zifeng on the side a little dumbfounded, and she feels that her sister, who is usually in a hurry, has changed in an instant.
Gently uncovered the rags one by one, and the further in, Liu Zifeng felt a burst of pain coming. In the end, Yue Zixuan's face couldn't help but turn white.
The palms that were larger than her were bleeding profusely at this time. The blisters of blood that had been worn out were pouring blood, and the bones were deep in the finger joints. Rao is like this, although Liu Zifeng is in a painful cold sweat, and his face is shaking, he only hisses and breathes in the cool air, without saying a word.
Yue Zixuan forcibly endured the emotions in her heart and took out a vial from her arms. Uncork the bottle and sprinkle some of the yellow powder-like things in the bottle evenly on the willow wind. Then, he took out a few new strands of cloth and bandaged the wound on his hand, and then looked at Liu Zifeng with blazing eyes.
Liu Zifeng felt unbearable pain, but after a while, he felt that the wound was crispy and numb, like a mosquito bite, and the itch was unbearable, but the pain disappeared most of the time. When he came back, he saw a flat white medicine cloth wrapped around his hands, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior sister, I'll be careful next time." ”
Yue Zixuan was stunned there, not knowing what she was thinking, it took a long time to come back to her senses, and said with a serious face: "Senior brother, cultivation must come step by step, and it is impossible to rush to achieve success." At that time, when the senior brother was doing his homework, he didn't finish his homework on the first day. Although you have done double homework today, what will you do tomorrow with the appearance of you? Taoism is a matter of course accumulated over time, and you must not rush it. ”
After speaking, she seemed to be in a lighter mood, made a grimace at him, and added: "Of course, this is what Master told me." ”
Liu Zifeng saw that her initial tone was serious, and his heart was full of spirit. In the end, he showed a naughty appearance, and suddenly felt that his hands didn't seem to hurt anymore, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I will work hard, don't worry!"
When Yue Zixuan saw him smiling, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "You go to eat quickly, there is something to eat in the kitchen." After eating, stay in the room, and the second senior brother will teach you to do your homework. ”
Liu Zifeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be that in addition to carrying water, do you have other homework?"
"No, Second Senior Brother is teaching you some things in the cultivation method. Originally, you were asked to carry water in the morning and practice in the afternoon, but who knew that you were so stupid, you really filled the two large tanks of water, and you still did it at this hour, go quickly!"
Yue Zixuan explained while pushing him. Liu Zifeng saw that it would be dark in two hours at most, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Yue Zixuan and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
The kitchen steamer was steaming white, and Liu Zifeng opened it to see that there were four dishes and one soup inside, and there were a few big steamed buns with white flowers on the side. I haven't eaten for a day, and I only feel like I can swallow a cow at this time. Immediately didn't care about anything else, and picked it up and munched on it.
Maybe it's because I'm so hungry that the cup will be empty in a few moments. Liu Zifeng hiccuped comfortably and went to the room with a plate of dishes.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the room, a black shadow rushed up like lightning, squatting on Liu Zifeng's shoulder and squeaking vigorously, except for Hei Yan. Hei Yan stayed in the room all day, and because Liu Zifeng told him not to run around, he was suffocated. Seeing him come back, he couldn't hold back his rat nature and ran over affectionately.
Liu Zifeng put the plate on the table and let Heiyan eat wildly. I went to the inner room to find a clean set of clothes to change into, put aside the dirty clothes that had been removed, cleaned up the house briefly, and quietly waited for the second senior brother Li Tiancheng to come over.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and a gentle voice came from outside the door: "Little junior brother, are you in the house?"
Liu Zifeng got up and opened the door, and outside the door was the second senior brother Li Tiancheng. Li Tiancheng obviously had just finished his work, stepped into the house, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master asked me to take you with me at ordinary times, but my senior brother is also incompetent, and he usually only cares about himself, so he has no time to care about you." ”
After speaking, he noticed the medicine cloth wrapped in Liu Zifeng's hands, his face changed, and he asked, "Little junior brother, what's the matter with your hands?"
Liu Zifeng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I fell while doing my homework this morning, and my senior sister put a medicine powder on me, and it's out of the way." ”
When Li Tiancheng heard him say this, he put his mind at ease and said, "Senior brother, although we have to endure hardships in our cultivation, we must also do what we can, and we won't dare to be so reckless next time." ”
Liu Zifeng heard the concern between Li Tiancheng's words, his heart warmed, and his mouth should be yes again and again.
Li Tiancheng smiled when he saw this, and said, "It just so happens that I won't teach you the mental formula today, but it will also save you the effort of your hands." What I want to teach you today is the rules and precepts of our Luoxia Sect. This precept was established by Patriarch Qingxia and has not been changed for thousands of years. I'll tell you one by one in a while, you have to write it down carefully, and remember to follow the rules on weekdays, understand?"
Liu Zifeng's face turned straight when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, senior brother." ”
Li Tiancheng was amused by his serious appearance, but then became serious and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, you listen attentively." First of all, the first is to respect the teacher, and not to ......"
Liu Zifeng had a serious face on the side, so he listened to the note. After an hour like this, Li Tiancheng finally stopped talking endlessly, looked at Liu Zifeng on the side and listened seriously, and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, in fact, these eighteen rules and precepts, you only need to think about them a little, you can find that most of them are actually nonsense, only the first few must be followed." ”
Liu Zifeng recalled the content of the eighteen rules and precepts in his mind, and he suddenly brightened up when he was as big as a fight, and said, "Yes, thank you for your teachings." ”
Li Tiancheng smiled and said, "It's okay, tonight Master is going to go back to the Moon Hall and call you to go." After you've had dinner, remember the past. ”
Liu Zifeng said strangely: "Senior brother, don't you go over together?"
Li Tiancheng's face turned dark, waved his hand and said, "Master only called you to go alone, and I won't go." You go to eat, you fetch water in the morning and go to the kitchen to heat it up, and you can rinse it in the evening. Tomorrow, I'll formally teach you the mantra of the heart. ”
After speaking, Li Tiancheng signaled that he didn't have to get up, turned around and left.
