The old man said slowly: "The little girl was seriously ill a few months ago, and the little old man checked it, this disease is rare in the world, and it is necessary to get the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, the pearl of the deep sea, the dendrobium in the rock, the cistanche of the desert, and the Poria cocos of Panasonic to be cured, and the treasure is rare, when can you find it all." I have pictures of mountains and rivers, and I know that there are many fairy grasses in the paintings, and if I have the same, I can win thousands of people in the world, but I have not been able to get involved in them for many years. And said: "That day, I saw Mr. walking in the market, extraordinary temperament, knowing that you are a master of the master, the spell is strong, thinking that you may be able to enter it to find the treasure, so I played with the apprentice, led you into the urn, I don't want to try to succeed, you get the fairy ginseng out," sighed: "It's just that the bitter Mr. has been thirty years long."

Ji Zong thought back to all kinds of things, and waited for decades, but it was a dream, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and asked the old man: "Although you have immortal ginseng in Xia, how does the old gentleman know that you will definitely save your granddaughter in Xia"?

The old man said leisurely: "Mr. is not a merciless person, in danger can help Li Mu defeat the Qin army and the world is restless, I know that Mr. is a person who has a heart to help the world, and will never be indifferent to the weak and dying people."

Ji Zong didn't want this old man to know about himself and his righteous brother Li Mu, so he was a little surprised, but said: "I am ashamed, this is the work of my righteous brother Li Mu, and I dare not be arrogant."

The old man said: "Mr. does not have to be modest, since that battle to become famous, the world knows Mr. Ji's name", and said: "Mr. strayed into the mountains and rivers, although it was done by the little old man, it is also due to the number of lives, and it is also the creation of Mr."

Ji Zongben resented the old man, and when he heard the old man say it slowly, he was relieved in his heart, but he said: "I don't know why my granddaughter contracted a strange disease"?

The old man's eyes were confused, and he said: "This matter is a long story," and said slowly: "The incident happened thirty years ago, the little old man was originally a Baiyue person in southern Xinjiang, ploughing in the fields and mountains, and having a wife and children, and living a happy life. That year, I was also a man of blood, it was young and frivolous, the child in the family had just turned one year old, it was a calm night, a man covered in blood suddenly broke in, saying that he was a person from the Central Plains, and he was chased and killed here. Seeing that he was seriously wounded, I felt pity for him, and without asking for details, I rescued him and left him at home to apply medicine to heal his wounds. It wasn't until many days later that the man's injuries were healed and he was going to leave, and before leaving, he took out an object and said that he would store it for a while, and that he would take it later, and I promised that I didn't want to bury the root of the curse."

Ji Zong asked, "Did that person leave his name, but did he take that thing later?"

The old man said: "Since the man left, until more than a month, there was still no figure of the man, and out of curiosity, he opened the thing." It turned out to be a picture, but at first glance, it was unremarkable, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time. But the man never returned, and finally he faded into the matter, and twenty-three years passed. ”

Ji Zongdao: "That picture is a picture of the mountains and rivers, right?"

The old man said, "Exactly, but I didn't know it at the time. Then he said: "Seeing that the child grew up day by day, and reached the age of marriage, he married him, and gave birth to a daughter the following year, and the whole family rejoiced," and paused: "But the good times did not last long, and the family suffered calamity."

It is not surprising that Ji Zong thought that most of the people in the Southern Dynasty married later. "What's going on?" asked?

The old man seemed to recall the unbearable past, and squirmed his throat and said: "Soon after the birth of his granddaughter, her mother died of illness, and then she saw her son mysterious and secretive all day long, and under secret observation, he found that he was obsessed with immortal magic and Taoism.

Ji Zongdao: "This painting is a treasure, making Lang extremely smart, learning immortal arts, and being able to be self-taught."

The old man said: "Otherwise, in fact, there is another martial arts secret book in the picture scroll."

Ji Zong doubted: "There is such a thing"?

The old man said: "I also learned later that the exercises contained in the secret book are unfathomable, and they are closely related to the pictures, and they can freely enter and exit the mountains and rivers after practice," and said: He secretly practiced before, I didn't know at all, and when I found the abnormality, I pondered the pictures after all other people's things, and the immortal law of immortality was ethereal, after all, it hurt people, and he was angry, so he immediately drank and ordered him to stop, and hid the pictures more secretly, but he was deeply confused by the secret books of pictures, and finally stole the pictures, and I don't know where to go."

Ji Zong said: "Ling Lang has already entered the painting"?

The old man said: "At that time, I only said that he ran away from home on a whim, too impulsively, and would come back in a while, but I did not hear from him for a long time, and I was worried after all, but I had nowhere to look for it, so I had to wait for it," and added: "After more than a year, one day I finally came back in a hurry, and I was already seriously injured and on the verge of death. When he was dying, he said that he was chased and killed by gangsters, and he had hidden the picture in the Central Plains, and told the specific address, so he swallowed his breath.

Ji Zong said: "I don't want love to die early, the old gentleman mourns."

The old man said: "My son passed away less than a day, there was a group of people and horses came to interrogate, I carefully investigated, it is to track down my son's whereabouts, I saw that the group of people is fierce and cruel, although I know that the death of the child is done by these people, how can the old man and the old man fight against it, although the heart is sad, but pretend not to know, luckily escaped." Although they are taken away for the time being, the search will eventually turn back, and the hometown will never survive, although the heart is full of grief, it has happened. Thinking that there were no relatives around him, he buried the child, took his granddaughter, and fought half to death, all the way north, to the Central Plains."

Ji Zong said: "Poor old ancestor has a bad life."

The old man said: "I trekked all the way through the mountains and rivers, the wind and rain, and then there were robbers chasing me, and it was in the era of war, and finally half a year passed, got rid of the clutches of the enemy, and dragged the dying body to take my granddaughter to Yunmeng Mountain."

Ji Zong was shocked, Yunmeng Mountain is the place where the teacher lives in seclusion, and the teacher is famous, presumably ordinary villains dare not make a mistake, I don't want this old man to have been there, and there are thousands of thoughts at the moment.

It turned out that the son of the old man fled from home, and then came to the Central Plains, and visited the famous mountains and rivers with the secret book of pictures, and wanted to get the art of immortality, but there was no way, and there was no guidance from the master, and under the confusion and dancing, he finally accidentally leaked the news. Pictures are the treasure of the world, people in the rivers and lakes all covet this painting, scramble to snatch, the old man's son has not succeeded, how can he resist, when he is hunted down, seriously injured and helpless, the cheats have been snatched away, only the pictures are left, just coincided with Yunmeng Mountain, then hidden in the mountains, with the end of the road and everyone after several rounds, after all, the experience is shallow, but fled home, do not want to lead the wolf into the room.

The old man continued: "After arriving at Yunmeng Mountain, I searched for the location that the child said, and sure enough, I found the picture under the big stone on the edge of a stream, but the martial arts secret book has been lost, and the picture is wrapped in animal skins and is intact."

Ji Zongdao: "It's not in vain that the old gentleman has traveled thousands of miles, and he is tired of running around, and the picture will eventually return to its original owner."

The old man said: "Although I have another picture, look at the blood stains on it, after all, the child died because of it, and the flesh and bones were separated, and he felt desolate for a while, and after months of running, he fainted and died", and said: "When I woke up, I realized that someone had saved me."

Ji Zong had a vague feeling and asked, "I don't know who is the person who saved the old man?"

The old man said: "This person is a master in the world, called Guiguzi."

Ji Zong was shocked, his heart turned out to be the teacher who saved him, thinking that he was still on the mountain at that time, but he didn't hear the teacher mention it, this old gentleman actually had this creation, and said at the moment: "Don't hide it from the old man, this person is under the teacher."

The old man said, "I already knew," and then said, "When I awoke, I fell in love with the man at first sight, and told him what had happened to him. When he saw me holding a picture in his hand, he said that it was even a treasure, told me the details of the origin of the picture, and instructed me on the three-day Taoism, leaving a treasure book and drifting away. I didn't know the name and residence of that person, and I couldn't find it, but later I learned that the person was Guiguzi, "Look at Ji Zong, and said: "Speaking of you, I still have some origins."

Ji Zong sighed with emotion: "Really make people happy." ”

The old man continued: "I got the picture, I wanted to go back to southern Xinjiang to burn the memorial child, after Mr. Guigu pointed out the maze, the idea has disappeared, so I lived in the mountain, since then I practiced day and night, and got the help of pictures, three years, I felt that the magic has been completed, and I went down the mountain."

Ji Zongdao: "The old gentleman's skills are profound, which is gratifying."

The old man said: "After going down the mountain, I passed through a village on the border of the country, it was a plague, the whole village died, under the inspection, only a young man breathed, Ren is a big life, but also infected with disease, life is in a moment, I healed him, he has no relatives, I think that there is no child under the knees, this person is lonely, so I accept him as a righteous son, and then teach him martial arts, accompany me."

Ji Zong said: "It's the man outside, right?"

The old man said: "Exactly, his name is Rubik's Cube, and he is nineteen years old this year."

Ji Zongdao: "What a handsome man, young and promising." I think I went down the mountain at this age, but now I am old and gloomy.

The old man said: "The Venerable Master once counted my lifespan and could live for fifty-five years, and I am exactly fifty-five years old this year. Five months ago, I knew that the end had come, but I was nostalgic for the world, and I wanted to change my life against the sky, so I wandered to the underworld, and judged yin and yang indiscriminately, although I have lived until now, but I have annoyed the king of Hades, and my granddaughter has been devoured, and her blood has been devoured, and the yin spirit is possessed, and I still regret it."

Ji Zong said: "That's the case."

The old man said: "I have figured it out these days, what joy in life, what sorrow in death, I am already a decrepit person, that is, I do not hesitate to die at this moment, I have put life and death out of the way, but the only son has gone, but my granddaughter is lonely in the world, which is my only concern, and this has survived so far." Then he said: "For several months, our grandfather and grandson have been wandering all the way, looking for a cure, until a month ago, I happened to meet you in Anyang City, knowing that there are treasures in the mountains and rivers Spirit Grass, so I led you to the bait, by chance, you really got into it, and since then I have been waiting for Mr. here, fortunately Mr. returned with 10,000 years of ginseng."

Ji Zong finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter, the matter had come to this point, in vain, and he just asked: "In full view of everyone that day, you showed your picture, and you were not afraid of being robbed by gangsters"?

The old man said: "The little girl was terminally ill at that time, forced by the situation, and if the villain did not come, it would be enough, and if he dared to appear, he would definitely go and not return, so as to avenge the murder of his son."

Ji Zongdao: "Since you know medical skills, why don't you heal her injuries in person, and you have to go to the mountains and rivers to find herbs?"

The old man said: "I know shallow medical skills, everyone in southern Xinjiang knows, ordinary diseases can naturally be treated, but the little girl's condition is too evil, you have to be recuperated by masculine herbs, and then you have to be assisted by mana to drive away the yin demon." He also said: "Mr.'s illness is another situation, just the opposite, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the fierce elixir, and I must slowly recuperate."

Ji Zong said: "The old gentleman is reasonable, and the magic method is profound."

The old man sighed: "Although I know medical skills and can save others, I can't save my granddaughter, and I have to be trapped in danger to find immortals, which is really ironic."

Ji Zongdao: "The old gentleman doesn't need to blame himself, he will never stand by and watch the little girl in the next vested two ginseng seeds."

The old man said: "If Mr. is generously helped, the little old man will never die." So he bent down and went to worship Ji Zong.

Ji Zong hurriedly supported the old man and persuaded: "The old gentleman doesn't have to be like this, all the brothers in the four seas are also."

......

At this time, the Rubik's Cube has also been prepared and brought up, when Ji Zong looked, there were braised fish, stewed fried live deer, dried eggplant bamboo shoots, and nourishing ginseng soup, the old man said: "It's hard for Mr. Ji to listen to the old man's chatter for a long time, he must have been hungry, but the food is too shabby, a few generals will use some"!

Ji Zong hurriedly said: "The old gentleman is too polite, enjoying such a sumptuous dish in the mountains and wilderness, it is really a warm hospitality."

The old man turned to the man and asked, "Do you still have any wine at home, take it out and give it to the gentleman to drink."

The Rubik's Cube was embarrassed and said: "It just so happens that there is no more, tomorrow the disciples will go to the city to buy some."

The old man said, "How can you do it without fine wine, you can go and get some back now."

Ji Zong obstructed: "It's getting late now, and besides, it's far away to go to the city, so you don't have to run around, and you don't need to worry about trivial things."

The old man said, "That's the case, I'm very sorry, then let's drink together another day", beckoned everyone to sit down, and said, "How about you taste it, sir?"

Ji Zong sandwiched a piece of fish into the mouth, only felt the taste of fresh meat, and praised: "Lingtu is really good craftsmanship, this fish has a delicate taste, fragrant and crispy, and it is the first time I have eaten such a delicious roasted fish."

The old man smiled and said: "The little apprentice is not good at learning, the gentleman is smiling, let's eat it."

Ji Zong said: "Please." It was six people at the same table, and they moved their chopsticks successively to enjoy the delicious food.

After the meal had been eaten, the old man saw that Ji Zong and the others were slightly drunk, and said, "Mr. has been tired for a few days, you might as well rest early."

Ji Zong looked at the girl in the old man's arms and fell asleep without knowing when, and said worriedly: "But my granddaughter's condition is urgent, why don't I wait for some treatment first?"

The old man said: "It's okay for a while, Mr. doesn't have to worry, it's not too late to trouble tomorrow."

Ji Zong listened to the old man's words, thinking that the second son was indeed tired, and immediately said: "Even so, disturb the old man."

The old man said: "Hmm", instructed the Rubik's Cube to lead a few people from Ji Zong into the inner room, said good night, closed the door lightly, and went.

Ji Zong watched the Rubik's Cube leave, and asked the second son: "You also understand the situation, now that the little girl is critically ill, you two are willing to sacrifice your own lives for her."

Ji Zong and the old man were always present talking, and they could hear the surname say: "It doesn't matter if you save her life, it's just that that person has harmed you like this, Master, even if you don't take revenge, why do you want to help him?"

Ji Zong said: "When is the time for retribution, the teacher has already figured it out, what can you do if you kill him, it is better to save someone's life, accumulate some yin virtue, in the future, when you two walk the rivers and lakes, you must have good thoughts in your heart, you must not accumulate hatred, and you have to spare people and spare people."

The two said: "Follow Master's teachings."

Ji Zong said: "Now that I am stumbling over this matter, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave for a while, let's stay here for the time being," and said: "It's not too early, go to bed quickly, and find out the girl's condition tomorrow, so that she can be healed."

The two agreed, and after a while, Ji Zong listened to the sound of the second son's steady breathing, and saw that the house was dark, only a bright moon outside the window shone on the earth, and the world was so quiet and peaceful. Ji Zong got up and stood at the window, looking at the bright moonlight, the past came to mind, vividly, sighing at the impermanence of the world, where to go next......

In the courtyard, the old man was also contemplating the sky, and heard the concerned voice behind him: "Master, it's cold outside, go in and rest."

The old man knew that it was a Rubik's Cube, but he said, "I don't know how many times I can see it on a full moon night."

The Rubik's Cube said: "As long as the stars are bright, they can be seen in the future."

The old man turned around, looked at the Rubik's Cube for a long time, and finally said kindly: "Fang'er, you are still young, you should go out and break through."

Rubik's Cube said: "I just want to be by your side all the time."

The old man sighed and said, "Are the three of Ji Zong asleep?"

The Rubik's Cube replied, "I've been arranged to fall asleep", and asked, "Will they do their best to treat Dawn"?

The old man said: "Ji Zong's chivalrous person, since he promised to do his best, don't worry about this matter."

Rubik's Cube said: "Those two ginseng seeds can really cure the dawn"?

The old man said: "If you are 100% sure of being a teacher, you will definitely be able to cure the dawn."

Rubik's Cube said: "I'm afraid that those two ginseng will not be willing to cut off the flesh and blood."

The old man said: "As long as Ji Zong speaks, those two will not dare to disobey Ji Zong."

Rubik's Cube said: "I hope everything goes well."

The old man said: "Did you fall asleep at dawn, is there anything unusual?"

Rubik's Cube said: "I have fallen asleep and have not suffered again".

The old man said: "Let's go, let's go back, tomorrow we will witness a miracle, it will be an eye-opener, and we must take care of our spirits." Turning back to the house, the Rubik's Cube went with it.

......

But early the next morning, the sky was still gray, and I heard an exclamation 'Oh no', the sound shook the mountains, Ji Zong and the old man ran out at the same time, and when they saw it, they were all taken aback: but when they saw a person holding a kitchen knife, one arm had been broken, drenched in blood, and the stump fell on the board, the person's face was pale, and he seemed to be in pain, which was fame.

Seeing this, Ji Zong immediately rushed over, clicked on a few acupoints of Fame, and said eagerly: "Ming'er, what are you doing here?"

Cheng Ming barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Master, the disciple wants to save that little girl, now that the flesh and blood are ready, quickly take the decoction medicine to heal her."

Ji Zong choked up and said, "Silly child."

The old man over there also asked the Rubik's Cube, "What's the matter?"

The Rubik's Cube was frightened, and gasped: "The disciple got up early in the morning, thinking about making some food, and didn't want to come to the courtyard to see a person holding a kitchen knife, and he felt bad, and it was too late to stop it, he had already waved the knife and broke his arm, so he shouted that the master came out."

After hearing this, the old man knew everything in his heart, and comforted the Rubik's Cube and said, "It's okay."

It turned out that he heard the words of Ji Zong and the old man last night, and he thought in his heart: Master is benevolent and kind, and he will definitely save the little girl's life, but he can't do it, and then he will rely on me and the surname to contribute, and it will be embarrassing to open his mouth. Thinking back to the kindness of the master for more than ten years, and as a brother, he made up his mind, thought of a strategy, and concealed Ji Zong's early morning to come out to make such a play.

The surname Lijia had also run out at this moment, and when he saw everything in front of him, he exclaimed: "Brother, ...... you?" Seeing Ji Zong's famous look, he lost his mind for a while.

The old man had already walked to the two of them, looked at them, and said, "It is really commendable that the disciple cut off his arm, don't be too sad, sir."

Ji Zong said indifferently: "The matter has come to this point, it's useless, take that piece of ginseng."

The severed arm took off the famous body, and at this moment it had turned back into a small piece of ginseng, lying coldly on the bamboo table. The old man motioned for the Rubik's Cube to take the ginseng and leave, and comforted: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to renew the broken arm for the disciple in the future."

As soon as the words fell, I heard the Rubik's Cube in the house exclaiming: "Oh no, Master, come quickly, she will ...... at dawn" The old man hurriedly ran back to the house, only to see his granddaughter lying motionless on the bed, a pool of black blood on the ground, and hurriedly jumped over to help Dawn's body, and the exercise was entered into the little girl's body. After a long time, he said to the Rubik's Cube: "It's too late, quickly scoop a bowl of water." The Rubik's Cube hurriedly got up and quickly took a bowl of water, and the old man said: "Put the fairy ginseng in, and the Rubik's Cube will do as ordered." I saw that the old man was still exercising with one palm, but the other hand was working on the water bowl, and the water was boiling instantly, and the ginseng was tumbling in the water.

At this time, Ji Zong and several people also entered the house, and they were all stunned when they saw this scene. Fame only felt physical and mental burning, looking at the boiling water in the bowl, after all, the ginseng was a part of his body, but he gritted his teeth and did not speak.

The Rubik's Cube sobbed to the three of them: "I just left for a while, and the dawn suddenly happened, and it became like this."

Ji Zong comforted: "Xin Dian found out in time, the Venerable Master is already healing her injuries, don't worry."

The Rubik's Cube said in a deep voice: "Hmm".

After only a moment's work, the old man stopped exercising, closed his palm and said to the Rubik's Cube: "Give it to me when it's cold."

Rubik's Cube said: "Yes". Look at the ginseng in that bowl is gone, it must have merged into the water."

Ji Zong saw that the old man was overworked, showing signs of weakness, the water vapor in the bowl was scattered, and he couldn't get cold for a while, Ji Zong hesitated slightly, then only waved his sleeves, the water was already calm, and he didn't move on the table, Ji Zong said: "The water is cold, take it."

The Rubik's Cube did not hesitate, and hurriedly handed the bowl to the old man, who took it, still helping the little girl to input true qi with one hand, but pouring soup into the little girl's mouth with the other hand.

After the decoction was in her stomach, the little girl woke up slowly, opened her eyes slightly, coughed lightly, and looked at the people around her. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the little girl wake up, and the old man took the credit, and the Rubik's Cube stepped forward and squatted down, stroking the girl's little face, showing his love.

The old man got up slowly, after all, he had scattered a lot of strength, and his body was a little unstable, and he hugged his fists and said weakly: "The little girl has just hung by a thread, but fortunately the fairy ginseng continues her life, and she has only been closed in the ghost gate for a while, such a great grace, toothless and unforgettable."

Ji Zong replied: "No need to be polite, how is Ling Ai's body."

The old man said: "I have obtained the immortal ginseng solid yuan, and my life is worry-free, but in the future, I will need the essence and blood of the second son to supply and recuperate, and it all depends on Mr. and the disciple."

Ji Zong said: "If there is a need, we will do our best to do our best."

The old man bowed again and said, "Thank you."

Ji Zong also said: "The old gentleman is polite."

At present, the old man's physical strength is overdrawn, the little girl is still weak, and her fame has damaged her vitality, so she has adjusted her own recuperation, and she has nothing to say that day.

In the early morning of the second day, due to the pain of fame and fame, a spoonful of essence and blood was put in the palm of the hand by the surname, and it was dispersed into the body of dawn according to the method taught by the old man, and the luck was reconciled evenly, and the old man also wrote a prescription for Ji Zong, writing: 15 to 20 grams of raw astragalus, prince ginseng, fried atractylodes, fried parsnip, floating wheat, and fried oysters, and they are decocted in water every day. The Rubik's Cube usually goes up the mountain to pick some herbs, and if you can't find it, you can buy it back at the bazaar, and boil it for Ji Zong on time every day. Ji Zong drank a few times, although he felt that it had some effect, one thought it was troublesome, and the two did not want to go, and he always forgot every three or five times, and every time this happened, the Rubik's Cube would always persuade each other, and then it would be gone. In the future, the Rubik's Cube took Ji Zong and others around to talk about some things from the past, the old man also exchanged martial arts experience with Ji Zong in his spare time, and several people went fishing together, riding horses and hunting, Ji Zong and others temporarily stayed, and it was a happy life.
