Chapter Seventy-Seven: Wounded Parting

readx;

Dongfang Zhen, whose upper body was naked, sat cross-legged, stretched out his palms and countered Shangguan Xiong, who was sitting cross-legged opposite. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoShangguan Xiong took a deep breath, and Wudang Jiuyang Gong began to launch, and a steady stream of "lung Yu acupoints" from the Dongfang earthquake surged out.

Wang Shouyi didn't dare to slack off, and quickly pierced the golden needle in his hand on Dongfang Zhen's key acupoint, and in an instant, dense golden needles pierced his back.

After a while, I saw Dongfang Zhen's cheeks red with blood, trembling all over, and cold sweat trickling down.

"The internal breath is in a mess, how to heal the wounds!" Shangguan Xiong broke off, "If you don't want to end up crippled for life, hurry up and throw away distracting thoughts!"

Dongfang Zhen's mood is indeed very chaotic.

Just half a cup of tea ago, Shangguan Xiong was still furious, scolding himself harshly, and saying all kinds of ugly words, but in the blink of an eye, there was another 180-degree turn, and he was willing to heal himself again. Why?

Is it because he was reluctant, but because he promised Qing'er, he had to do it, so he came to vent?......

Is it possible that their father and daughter were acting one after another, and their purpose was just to be grateful to them? No, Qing'er never had this kind of scheming, and she was definitely not this kind of person! Well, it must have been Shangguan Xiong's trick! He did this because he wanted me to be grateful to Qing'er, and at the same time I felt sorry for him......

Is it possible that he had decided to heal himself a long time ago, but he had the conditions to ask himself to repay him, but he held his own identity and was embarrassed to say it, so he had to understand his intentions?......

“...... What happened?" Shangguan Xiong's voice was anxious and angry, "I really want to die?!...... Isn't your master teaching you to be so famous? Listen: No distractions! No distractions......

Dongfang Zhen was shocked when he heard this. Of course, he knew that what Shangguan Xiong said was the truth, and his purpose was also for his own good; at the moment, he was busy collecting his mind, slowly urging Xuantian Wuji Gong, pressing the disordered internal breath into the dantian, and gradually entering the realm of forgetting things and me.

After the tea work, his Xuantian Wuji Gong and Shangguan Xiong's Jiuyang Gong finally merged into one, and launched an attack on the blocked "Lung Yu Acupoint".

"That's right!" Shangguan Xiong's tone was a little teachable and gratifying, and he said in a deep voice: "Hit the 'Lung Yu Acupoint' with one blow!" No matter how difficult it is, you must grit your teeth and hold on, and you must not interrupt!"

Shangguan Qing looked at Dongfang Zhen anxiously and pityingly, but saw that the white mist on his head was steaming, his face was so red that he seemed to be dripping blood, he was covered in cold sweat, and his blood was full of blood, like a smelting furnace that could explode at any time. She gritted her teeth and frowned, and her fingers crossed, as if she wanted to share some pain for him, but she felt powerless, but she always felt that she had to do something for him to be at ease, so she took out a handkerchief and prepared to wipe the sweat from his face.

"Get out of here!" Shangguan Xiong broke off.

"Never!" Wang Shou beside him hurriedly grabbed her, and his heart was so frightened that he was "pounding". Although he can only use superficial kung fu to strengthen his body, he knows the principle of internal strength and healing, and knows that at this time, their bodies are full of terrifying energy, just like hundreds of thousands of volts of high-voltage wires, so Shangguan Qing, who does not know kung fu at all, is tantamount to suicide.

Shangguan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter escape. Just now, he just asked them to protect the Fa for himself, but he forgot to warn him; he never thought that his daughter would do this! Fortunately, Wang Shouyi pulled it in time, otherwise, ...... He didn't dare to think any further.

Wang Shouyi told Shangguan Qing about the terrible situation just now, and immediately frightened her into shock and shame, and her face was pale.

In the sound of "poof", several golden needles inserted in Dongfang Zhen's back flew out and were nailed deep to the head of the bed.

With a "wow", Dongfang Zhen blurted out a mouthful of blood arrows, which hit Shangguan Xiong's face firmly, immediately causing him to be covered in blood, but Shangguan Xiong didn't seem to realize it. Shangguan Qing subconsciously wanted to wipe it, but suddenly remembered the lesson just now, and paused heavily.

"Heh! Rush out of the 'Lung Yu Acupoint'!" Wang Shouyi's face was full of joy.

The two of them rested for a while, and did the same. After about an hour, they finally rushed through the "Jiyin Yu Acupoint", "Xinyu Acupoint", "Kidney Yu Acupoint", "Life Gate Acupoint", "Zhimuro Acupoint", "Qihai Acupoint", and "Weilu Acupoint" one by one.

As soon as Wang Shou saw that all the golden needles on Dongfang Zhen's back flew out, he knew that the meridians on his waist and back had been opened, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Shangguan Qing saw that he was so happy, and naturally understood, and even smiled.

"Finally...... It's done!" The sweaty Shangguan Xiong wiped away the blood and sweat from his face, his face turned pale, and he gasped: "Dongfang Zhen,...... By your skill,...... Rush out of the way...... The rest of the ...... Small block, which should ...... No problem, right?"

"Yes. ...... Thank you, senior!" Dongfang Zhen's face had turned pale, and his whole body was shaky as if he had collapsed, but he mustered up his spirit and saluted him.

Shangguan Xiong turned sideways and said coldly: "Hmph, don't thank me! I said it, it's not that I want to save you, it's Qing'er who wants to save you!"

Wang Shouyi and Shangguan Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Wang Shouyi took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and said softly: "Dongfang Shaoxia, this is the 'Shengli Pill', which can replenish qi, eat it quickly! Just get some sleep!" and turned to Shangguan Qing and said, "Go, pick up the alliance leader!"

Wang Shouyi was busy serving Dongfang Zhen and lay down. Dongfang Zhen felt tired, and fell asleep after a while.

Wang Shouyi pulled out the golden needle on the head of the bed with difficulty, and asked with concern: "Alliance leader, do you want to eat a 'Shengli Pill'?"

"No need. Shangguan Xiong pushed away his daughter, turned around and walked two steps, but he stumbled a little, and muttered his head: "Shaolin Zhao Yanhao!

Shangguan Qing hurriedly helped him again, and said diligently: "Daddy, my daughter will help you go back! In the evening, my daughter will make you your favorite chopped pepper fish head and braised cold mushrooms." ”

"You do it?" Shangguan Xiong looked at her sideways with a grin, and twisted her face lightly, "My Qing'er has this filial piety, and my father will be satisfied!

"Daddy, why don't you believe in your daughter's cooking skills so much?" Shangguan Qing pursed her red lips, "Mother's cooking skills, my daughter has learned them all!"

"Oh, is it?" Shangguan Xiong smiled and said with great interest: "Okay, tonight, Daddy will try our Qing'er's craftsmanship!"

※※※

Dongfang Zhen has been healing by self-movement for another night, and finally expelled all the yin energy accumulated in the meridians. He felt that except for his physique, which was still relatively weak, there was no major problem left, and not only that, but even his strength had recovered five or six times out of ten.

How to describe the feeling of being lost and regained, which people have generally experienced, and the feeling of being in a desperate situation and resurrecting from the dead is relatively rare, how should we describe the taste? I think it should be ecstatic, as if it was a lifetime away, right?

In the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Ronaldo, who had been plagued by injuries for several years, was fortunate to catch up with him in good health, not only won the top scorer, but also won the World Cup for Brazil. I think that's how he felt at the time.

Dongfang Zhen at this time is also in this mood.

I can really stand up and walk; after a few days of recuperation, I believe that my strength will be completely restored! It is absolutely true, it is definitely not a dream......

Early the next morning, Shangguan Qing came to take care of him in a hurry, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Dongfang Zhen concentrating on folding the quilt in front of the bed, and he was unexpectedly excited, and shouted crisply: "Brother Dongfang, you ...... You can really stand up!"

Dongfang Zhen straightened up, looked at her sideways, and said with a smile: "En." Not only that, but I can still go!"

"Really?" Shangguan Qing smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, walked forward quickly, and looked him up and down as if he suddenly didn't know him.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Zhen was a little uncomfortable with her.

"It's nothing!" Shangguan Qing pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly put his hand flat on the top of his head and gestured with him, finding that his height was barely up to his lower lip, and exclaimed: "Brother Dongfang, I really didn't find out before, it turns out that you are so tall!"

"Hehe, no way, genetic. ”

"So, my uncle is also very tall, right?"

"Yes. When I was a child, when I looked up at his old man's house, I always felt that he was holding up the sky!"

"Hey, my father is also very tall, why didn't he pass it on to me?" Shangguan Qing sighed faintly.

"Hehe, because you're a girl! Actually, among girls, you're quite tall!"

"It's a pity, it's not as tall as Sister Sang!"

Dongfang Zhen smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Brother Dongfang, seeing that your injuries are finally healed, I ...... I'm so happy!" Shangguan Qing's smile slowly dissipated, his expression was a little gloomy, and he bit his lower lip and said softly, "But...... But...... I'd rather your injuries recover a little slower......"

Dongfang Zhen understood what she meant, and was very moved in his heart, and said softly: "Miss, I'...... I'm so grateful to you!"

"Don't call me 'Miss'!" Shangguan Qing finally stopped the title that had made her sound both sarcastic and pungent these days, but thinking that this was what he asked people to call her so, he was a little embarrassed, so he said softly: "Brother Dongfang, from now on, don't call me 'Miss', just call me 'Qing'er', okay?"

"Of course you can! Qing'er!" Dongfang Zhen sighed in his heart: Hey, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, it's so elusive!

In the past few days, not only have the people in the Taiyi Pavilion suddenly increased, but the entire Chu Xiang League has also become lively, like a large group of male lions who have suddenly woken up, running and jumping excitedly all day long.

Dongfang Zhen wanted to go out and walk around, but Doctor Wang disagreed, and only allowed him to walk around in the Taiyi Pavilion, on the grounds that the internal injuries had not healed, the meridians were very fragile, and the displaced viscera also needed to be recuperated, so it was only advisable to recuperate.

On this day, Shangguan Qing, as usual, came to the Taiyi Pavilion early in the morning to take care of Dongfang Zhen.

"By the way, Qing'er, have you helped me find out the news of my master and them?" Dongfang Zhen finally asked the question he had been trying to ask all these days.

"Hey, not yet!" Shangguan Qing looked at him apologetically, "I already brought a letter to Yun Xiangjie, but somehow, he has neither come back nor a message now." ”

"Qing'er, I've bothered you, thank you!" Dongfang Zhen smiled: "It's okay, I'll inquire myself." ”

Shangguan Qing was stunned when she heard this, but immediately understood, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Dongfang, you ...... Are you leaving soon?"

"Well, I was going to leave today. But Doctor Wang refused, saying that he would have to recuperate for a few more days, and even if he was really in a hurry to leave, he would have to finish the 'bitter pill' before leaving......"

"Oh......" Shangguan Qing muttered as she calculated, "There are a total of thirty-six pills in one course of treatment, two pills a day, and you need to take them for eighteen days...... You started taking it on April 20th, well...... It's been sixteen days......" Speaking of this, he suddenly saved his life and exclaimed: "Ah, isn't that the day after tomorrow to be served?!"

"Yes. Dongfang Zhen nodded lightly, and said with a straight face: "So, I plan to leave the day after tomorrow." ”

When Shangguan Qing heard this, he suddenly froze on the ground like a wooden stake, and after a long while, he came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "I said it...... I will not stop you...... Brother Dongfang, do you know?" Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly filled with tears, and his voice was crying, "I'm so sad, I'm so sad...... I'm really sad......"

"I know!" Dongfang Zhen was greatly moved, grabbed her hand unwillingly, stared at her eyes and said, "Qing'er, actually...... Actually, I'm reluctant to leave......! It's just that...... I have a lot of things to do, and I have to go!"

When Shangguan Qing heard this, her tears flashed with joy, and she suddenly felt that he didn't care about herself at all, "Brother Dongfang, what ...... Will you come back to see me in the future?"

Dongfang Zhen hesitated for a while, lowered his head and sighed lightly.

The light in Shangguan Qing's eyes suddenly disappeared, like a burning candle, suddenly extinguished by cold water. She shook off Dongfang Zhen's hand and took two steps back tremblingly.

"Qing'er, I'...... I'm sad too...... We don't have a chance, you...... You forget me!" Dongfang Zhen's eyes also turned a little red, "In this life and this life, I can't repay your affection......; Wait for the next life, the next life, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will also ......"

"Liar!" Before he finished speaking, he had already received a hot slap in the face, and Shangguan Qing hissed: "I don't want any next life! You get out! You get out! Dongfang Zhen, I hate you to death!"

Dongfang Zhen stroked his cheeks, stared blankly at her sad and desperate back, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

※※※

Until Dongfang Zhen left, Shangguan Qing never came again.

"Dongfang Shaoxia, this is the sword you want. The man who took care of him handed him a sheathed sword and a baggage, "in which are two sets of clothes and more than a hundred taels of silver." This is prepared for you by the old man of the master, and you can use it on the road. ”

"Thank you!" Dongfang Zhen took it, opened the baggage, took out an ingot of silver weighing twenty taels and handed it to him, "Take it." ”

"This ......" The guy was stunned, and then shook his hands wildly: "Absolutely not!

Dongfang Zhen gave it to him and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you have been working so hard these days! Don't shirk it! Otherwise, you will look down on me!"

"Dongfang Shaoxia is really polite! This is a small matter. Still, he took it honestly.

"You still haven't found the flying ring, right?" Dongfang Zhen frowned slightly and asked softly.

"Nope. Guy Li shook his head, "I remember that when you were first sent, there were no flying rings around you at all. ”

"Oh?...... That's it. Dongfang Zhen waved his hand lightly.

In fact, he was disappointed that he couldn't find the flying ring. Because, in those days, it not only cost a lot of money to build those flying rings, but also spent a lot of work; how easy was it to build another pair of weapons that were so satisfactory? And re-entering the rivers and lakes must be full of dangers, and now that there is no flying ring, he must have at least three points discount in martial arts, so he can't help but be a little worried.

He guessed that either Yun Xiangjie didn't pick up the flying ring at all when they rescued him that day, or they picked it up and didn't bring it to the Taiyi Pavilion, but helped him keep it. But he hadn't come back yet, so he couldn't inquire, so he had to give up.

"Dongfang Shaoxia, the horse you want has also been prepared, just at the door of the Taiyi Pavilion. ”

"Good. I'm tired of you!

Dongfang Zhen looked thoughtfully at his turned back, and suddenly shouted, "Brother Li, please wait!"

"What's the matter?" said Lee, smiling and turning around.

"I ask you something: Why haven't you seen the king for the past two days?"

"He's busy! When he comes back from this expedition, there are so many wounded, and he's busy treating those wounded every day!"

"Oh. Dongfang Zhen's eyes flashed, "Then where is he now?" I want to go and say goodbye to his old man's house." ”

"The master has already ordered you not to go and say goodbye to him!"

"How's this going to work? I'm going to have to say goodbye to my face!"

Guy Li smiled and said: "The master doesn't like these red tapes the most! I really don't have to go, I won't be happy when I go to his old man's house! Dongfang Shaoxia, you can go on the road with peace of mind!"

"Okay then!" Dongfang Zhen was helpless, thought for a while and asked, "Brother Li, I want to ask you one more thing: Where is the home of the leader of the Shangguan League?"

"Oh?...... Do you want to go and say goodbye to our alliance leader?"

Dongfang Zhen nodded.

"This ......" Li hesitated a little, "the morning before yesterday, the alliance leader ...... I came to our Taiyi Pavilion and asked when you could leave, and the master said that it would take at least two days. ...... When the alliance leader heard this, he said angrily...... Say ......"

"Say what?"

"Dongfang Shaoxia, don't be angry when you hear it!" "Li said hesitantly: "The alliance leader said at the time...... said...... 'This stinky boy, Lao Tzu doesn't want him to stay any longer!' tell him to get out of here!'......" Speaking of this, he stared at Dongfang Zhen, saw that his face was ugly, and comforted: "Dongfang Shaoxia, our alliance leader is hot-tempered, don't you mind! Actually, his old man is very bad to people on weekdays...... For the sake of your body, the master fought hard to be scolded and fought for you for these two days...... In the end, the alliance leader agreed...... So ......"

"I understand!" Dongfang Zhen thought that it was because of Qing'er's matter that he was furious, and he felt guilty, biting his lower lip and nodding, "Okay, I won't go to make fun of myself...... Thank you for telling me this!"

It wasn't until the guy had finished eating that Dongfang Zhen was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

The parting was imminent, but several life-saving benefactors were either absent or avoided, and they didn't even have a chance to say a word of thanks, which was very uncomfortable.

What made him especially sad was that Shangguan Qing didn't come. He felt a little sour in his heart, and at the same time he felt a sense of loss.

"Alas, it seems that it really breaks people's hearts!" Dongfang Zhen sighed in his heart, and muttered with a wry smile: "What about goodbye......? Isn't that the best?

He stood up violently, grabbed the long sword and baggage, and strode out of the Imperial Doctor's Hall.

※※※

Dongfang Zhen led the horse away from the Taiyi Pavilion, looking around as he walked, subconsciously hoping to see Shangguan Qing or Yun Xiangjie.

In front of him was a large square, with two avenues surrounded by verdant willow groves, stretching into the distance, which seemed to be the road leading to the outside.

There were a lot of people in the square, some were carrying goods, some were walking briskly, and there were also a few groups of people trained with knives and guns, and from time to time they let out a uniform "hey...... Kill ......".

Dongfang shook to the edge of the square, and he didn't know which way to go, and when he hesitated, three patrolling guards came over.

"Excuse me: Which way should I go to the northwest?" Dongfang Zhen smiled and bowed his hand to them.

The three guards looked at each other with some confusion when they saw a stranger in front of them, and one of the guards pointed to the avenue on the left and said, "Oh, over there." ”

Dongfang shook his thanks, turned over and walked on his horse, which was very strong, and ran fast and steady with his hooves spread.

In the blink of an eye, go out of two miles, the end of the willow forest road, out of the willow forest road, turn into a riverside avenue.

Dongfang Zhen suddenly had an inexplicable emotion, stopped his horse with a "hoo", and turned to look at the place that gave him a second life.

Seeing clearly, it turns out that it is surrounded by mountains on its back, facing the river valley in front, and the continuous houses are scattered among the mountains and forests, which looks majestic and elegant. And the clear river around him is spreading towards it.

Dongfang looked at it in a daze for a long time, and there was a faint hint of nostalgia in his empty heart.

"Farewell, Qing'er!" he swerved his horse's head, whipped it the horse's hips, and galloped away.

On the right, there is a large river like a green belt, flowing comfortably, and on the left, there is a maroon mountain rock, craggy and steep, like a silk axe. Dongfang Zhen has the feeling of running in a gallery with Yanyu Jiangnan on one side and the Gobi Desert on the other.

After running for miles, I was still in the gallery, as if there was no end in sight.

Dongfang Zhen was a little unconvinced, but fortunately, there was a small coal boat pulling coal on the river in front of him, and a swarthy and lean boatman was struggling to row wooden pulp.

"Excuse me, big brother, I'm going to the northwest, take this road, right?"

"Right. The boatman stopped and wiped his sweat, "After walking three or four miles, out of this valley, the road on the left is to the northwest." ”

Dongfang Zhen did as he said, out of the river valley, the terrain gradually rose, but gradually opened up gently, and the fields and fields gradually increased, and hard-working peasants could be seen everywhere.

The fiery red sun had risen in mid-air, but the breeze was not too hot.

Dongfang Zhen, who was walking in Yu, suddenly had a feeling of returning to the world, and his mood was both excited and a little melancholy; so he slowed down his horse, looking left and right, while softly humming the hometown folk song of "The Return of the Elder Brother on the Long Road".

Suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him. Dongfang Zhen was slightly surprised, and looked back, but saw a sturdy man in his thirties looking anxiously at his side while controlling his horse and galloping.

"Brother Dongfang, please stay!" the man waved at him on horseback.

Dongfang Zhen stared at it in surprise, but felt that this person's face was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
