Chapter 42: The Poppy (Volume 3)
After a while, his subordinates replied: "Prime Minister, Zhen Yue has already thrown himself into the river, and it is estimated that ......"
Cai Jing got up and said, "Thank you Mrs. Bai today, Young Master Bai for your hospitality, and I will leave here." ”
Bai Jianhong said: "Prime Minister Cai, go slowly." ”
At this time, Yang Yuhua and Bai Jianhong felt a little relieved because they drove Zhen Yue away.
Zhen Yue recounted this, and couldn't help choking, and Bai Siyu showed pity. Bai Siyu said: "It turns out that you are so miserable, mother-in-law. My grandmother never told me about my mother, I thought it was my mother, you cruelly left me and my father and left. ”
Zhen Yue touched Bai Siyu's black hair and was silent.
Zhang Qingyuan said: "It's really a chance, the two closed disciples of the poor road have a blood relationship. ”
Bai Siyu muttered to himself: "Yang Linhao is my cousin?"
Bai Siyu looked up at Zhen Yue and said, "Mother, what happened later, where did you go later, and how did you come over all these years?"
The wind whirred, and the firelight shook with it. Zhen Yue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued to tell Bai Siyu about the past.
Zhen Yue was rescued by a fisherman and brought home. After Zhen Yue woke up, he knew that he had no face to return to see his aunt on the cover, and after thanking his benefactor, he went to Tianzhu Mountain alone, planning to temporarily stay in the Qingdao Advantage on the head of Tianzhu. Shangqing Daoist and Zhen Yue's father Zhen Hong are world friends, and the two are also extremely close to each other, but Zhen Hong died early, and the two can not continue to talk about the past and the present.
Seven days later.
Zhen Yue's mouth was dry, and he finally came to the foot of Tianzhu Mountain, and saw the little Taoist priest with clear eyebrows walking towards him, about eleven or two years old, Zhen Yue said: "Little Taoist, can you take me to meet the Taoist chief of your sect?"
The little Taoist priest said, "The female donor wants to visit the family teacher, please come with me." ”
Zhen Yue followed the little Taoist priest to walk on the mountain road of Tianzhu Mountain, with strange rocks beside the road, strange peaks towering, mountain springs flowing, and insects and birds singing together.
Zhen Yue said: "Little Taoist, I don't think you look like a person from the Central Plains. ”
The little Taoist priest said: "The female benefactor has good eyesight, and my home is far away on the shore of Lingnan. ”
Zhen Yue said: "Then why did you come thousands of miles to Tianzhu Mountain to learn art?"
The little Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said, "I heard from the master, I was adopted by him. When Master met me on a tour of Lingnan, I was a child who could just walk, and my parents encountered a strong storm and did not come back alive during a fishing trip, so Master saw that I was standing alone on the beach waiting for my parents to come back and was helpless, so he took me back to Tianzhu Mountain. ”
Zhen Yue said: "Alas, poor child. After finishing speaking, Zhen Yue stroked the little Taoist's hair.
The little Taoist priest said: "I don't feel sorry, the master has been kind to me, taught me a lot of martial arts, and a lot of knowledge." ”
Zhen Yue and the little Taoist priest walked up to the Yueping Pavilion, rows of disciples of the Heavenly Pillar Sword Sect were practicing swords, and in the other direction, the Shangqing Daoist came from afar.
Shangqing Dao said: "Yesterday, I watched the sky at night and noticed that there was a distinguished guest visiting today, but I didn't expect it to be Zhen Yuexian's nephew. ”
Zhen Yue said: "The juniors meet the head of the Shangqing Dao. ”
Shangqing Dao said, "Get up quickly." Child, looking at your face, you've suffered a lot lately, haven't you?"
Zhen Yue told everything that happened before.
Shangqing Dao said: "If you come, you will be safe." You stay in Tianzhu Mountain first, and the rest will be discussed in detail tomorrow. Ruqiu, you take this sister to rest. ”
The little Taoist priest said, "Yes, Master." ”
The little Taoist priest took Zhen Yue to the back mountain, and Zhen Yue saw a wooden house in the pine forest three or four miles behind the Huanyu Temple. The little Taoist priest and Zhen Yue pushed open the door and walked in.
The little Taoist priest said, "Sister Zhen, you live here." ”
Zhen Yue said: "I heard the Taoist chief call you Ruqiu just now, is your name Ruqiu?"
The little Taoist priest said: "My name is Mo Ruqiu, and the master gave it to me. ”
Zhen Yue said: "Mo, Ru, Qiu, good name." ”
Mo Ruqiu said: "Master told me that there will be a lot of hardships in life, but people learn to forget the painful past, and always have spring-like optimism and confidence. ”
After hearing this, Zhen Yue pondered and felt that this sentence also applied to herself.
Mo Ruqiu said: "Sister Zhen, you rest first, and I will come to visit you tomorrow." ”
Zhen Yue quietly watched the back of this friendly and energetic little Taoist priest leaving.
At night, Zhen Yue lit the oil lamp, sat quietly in front of the window, and looked into the distance, unable to suppress the longing for her deceased husband and the concern for her separated daughter.
In the early morning of the next day, there was a knock on the door in Zhen Yue's ears, and he only heard Mo Ruqiu say outside the door: "Sister Zhen, Master, Uncle Zhikong is invited." ”
Zhen Yue opened the door of the house and followed Mo Ruqiu to the Huanyu Temple. The mist of early spring shrouded the entire mountain forest, everything was so hazy, and the green pines were so tender and green under the moisture of the fog.
Mo Ruqiu played with the hilt of the sword and chanted:
mist cage green pine,
Rain and dew moisten the sky.
Heaven and earth spit out new colors,
The day-to-day scenery is different.
Zhen Yue showed a long-lost smile, thinking that this little Taoist priest's life experience was also miserable, but he had always been so optimistic, and admiration poured out again.
After a while, Zhen Yue and Mo Ruqiu came to the Huanyu Temple.
Zhen Yue said: "It is really a shame to wait for the two seniors in the late life. ”
Shangqing Dao said: "Zhen Yuexian's nephew, you don't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”
Zhen Yue said: "Thank you." ”
Zhen Yue gently recounted all the unpleasant things that had happened recently, and her face was gloomy and sad.
Shangqing Dao said: "Zhen Yue, then what are your plans in the future?"
Zhen Yue said: "I am still in confusion, and I hope that the Taoist and the master will guide me through the maze." ”
The Shangqing Daoist looked at Master Zhikong, and Master Zhikong nodded.
Shangqing Dao said: "My Tianzhu Sect generally only accepts male disciples, but there are several generations of ancestors, and there are also female disciples with intelligent qualifications and good conduct who have joined our sect by chance. In my opinion, Zhen Yue, you might as well become a lay disciple of my sect, and I and Senior Brother Zhikong will definitely teach what we have learned all our lives, and maybe we will have something for you. ”
Zhen Yue said: "Thanks to the Taoist and the master, Zhen Yue also wants to have a home." ”
Master Zhikong said: "Zhen Yue, if you want to learn Taoist swordsmanship, Taoist talismans, Taoist formations, and Taoist light skills, you can worship under the senior brother, the boxing techniques, stick techniques, leg methods, and internal skills learned by the poor monks are not suitable for you, but if you are interested in Buddhist medicine, the poor monks are willing to teach you." ”
Zhen Yue said: "The younger generation doesn't like to fight since he was a child, and he has no interest in martial arts. Zhen Yue heard his uncle mention it before, the Taoist swordsmanship, talismans, formations, and light skills are all unique in the world, but Zhen Yue is not blessed to receive it, if the Taoist does not dislike Zhen Yue, I am willing to follow the Taoist to learn light skills. Master Zhikong, who has always admired the benevolence of doctors in his later years, is also willing to follow the master to learn medical skills. ”
Master Zhikong said: "This is very good, the poor monk's medical skills have been passed on." ”
Shangqing Dao said: "Zhen Yue, in the future, you will be a member of my Tianzhu faction, since you like medicine, you will focus on medical skills in the future, and Zhikong Senior Brother is your master, and I will try my best to teach you light skills." ”
Zhen Yue said: "Thank you Shangqing Master and Master Xie, the apprentice must be humble to learn and live up to the high expectations of the master and master." ”
Shangqing Dao said: "Ruqiu, in the future, you will accompany Senior Sister Zhen more after practicing swords, and you can also talk to Senior Sister Zhen if you have something on your mind." ”
Mo Ruqiu said: "Yes, Master, the apprentice understands. ”
Zhen Yue has lived quietly on the pillar of heaven for more than two years, Zhen Yue spends his days studying medical skills and practicing light skills, because of his talent, he has reached a certain level of attainments in medical skills and light skills in just two years. However, his physical condition and mental outlook are deteriorating every day.
