Chapter 43: The Poppy (Volume 4)

One day, inside the cosmopolitan view.

Master Zhikong said: "I see that the little apprentice Zhen Yue's complexion is getting darker and darker, and if it goes on like this, it will be difficult to live for a long time." ”

Shangqing Daoist sighed and said, "Zhen Yue has been missing her husband and beloved daughter for a long time, but she has been separated from each other, and she is so depressed because she is tortured by love. ”

Master Zhikong said: "Senior brother, I think you and I need to think of a way for her. ”

Shangqing Dao said: "It's better to let her go out for a walk and return to that world, and after she re-reads the joys and sorrows of the world, she may be able to be much more calm about her own affairs." ”

Master Zhikong said: "The poor monk is worried that Zhen Yue is kind-hearted and does not know martial arts, and he walks the rivers and lakes alone, and he is afraid of danger." ”

Shangqing Dao said: "Senior brother doesn't have to worry too much, everyone has their own life, and Zhen Yue was born strong." Moreover, people who practice medicine are all walking all over the world, how can there be a reason to do things behind closed doors?"

At this time, Zhen Yue walked into the Universal View.

Zhen Yue said: "The apprentice visits the master and the master. ”

Master Zhikong said, "Get up." ”

Zhen Yue said: "I don't know what the master and master called the apprentices to?"

Shangqing Dao said: "Zhen Yue, you have been on the mountain for a long time, and I have discussed with your master and want you to go out for a walk." ”

Zhen Yue said: "It's okay." It's been two years, and it's time to visit my aunt. ”

Master Zhikong said: "Zhen Yue, you remember, this will always be your home, if you encounter difficulties, you can go back to Tianzhu Mountain at any time to ask me and Shangqing Master for help." ”

Shangqing Dao said: "After you go down the mountain, you should also consider yourself a disciple of the Heavenly Pillar, and think twice about everything. ”

Zhen Yue said: "The apprentice understands, please take care of the master and master." ”

In the past, when it came to this, Zhen Yue looked at Bai Siyu and felt that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a mother for many years, and his heart was full of guilt.

Zhen Yue said to Bai Siyu: "My mother later went back to Kaifeng to visit your uncle and grandmother, and then wandered between the four seas. ”

Everyone did not get rid of the pain of Yang Tianmu's sacrifice, and they felt even more sad when they listened to Zhen Yue's bleak past. Bai Siyu is still a child after all, the world is warm and cold, and he doesn't feel deeply.

Bai Siyu said: "Mother, what about later?"

Zhen Yue said in a low voice: "Wait for my mother to speak slowly." ”

About half a year after leaving Tianzhu, Zhen Yue walked alone to the Songxia border, it was late, Zhen Yue saw a stockade in front of him, and walked in. The lights of the houses in the village are dim, a quiet and serene, and some roofs are swaying with smoke, which is extraordinarily graceful under the reflection of the slanting sun. Zhen Yue walked alone under the sun, looking at the quiet village, although tired, this tranquility still made Zhen Yue feel a little comfortable.

Zhen Yue knocked on the door of a household and said, "Excuse me, is there anyone at home?"

A woman opened the door and said, "Are you?"

Zhen Yue said: "I have traveled all over the world, passing by here, can I ask if I can ask your family tonight to stay here for one night?"

A woman saw that Zhen Yue was dressed as a Song person, so she didn't dare to agree, turned around and looked at the old man in the house, and the old man said, "Let her in, this girl looks kind, not like a wicked person." ”

The woman opened the wooden door and let Zhen Yue into the house.

The woman said, "Girl, you haven't eaten at night, have you?"

Zhen Yue was a little shy and said, "Exactly." ”

The woman said, "You sit down first, and I'll go and cook for you." ”

Zhen Yue said: "I'm tired." ”

The old man said, "You little girl, why do you go out alone?"

Zhen Yue felt a little helpless, and said with a smile: "My parents died early, and my husband also died, alas, ......"

The old man said, "O hard-working child. ”

Zhen Yue said: "The little girl is a person who studies medicine, can the old man let me see the pulse?"

The old man said, "Then I'll bother you." ”

After Zhen Yue took the pulse, he wrote down a few medicinal herbs for the old man, handed them to the old man, and said: "Old man, you have a slight qi deficiency, use the medicinal materials on the note to boil it into a decoction, and your qi deficiency body can be well conditioned after taking it." These medicinal herbs should be available locally in the wild, and I will collect some tomorrow. ”

The old man took the note, and then there was a knock on the door, and when the old man opened the door, he saw that there were six female swordsmen about twenty years old, covered in blood, and one of them was already unconscious......

At this point, Zhen Yue couldn't help but pause, seeing that the bonfire in the temple was fading, Zhen Yue got up and added some firewood, Li Lianyu lowered her head and leaned against the corner of the wall, Zhang Qingyuan meditated cross-legged and closed her eyes to recuperate, Lin Xuanxiang seemed to wipe the sword but was actually thoughtful, Tang Qingmei and Mo Ruqiu sat with their backs to the wall, looking at the distance outside the door.

Bai Siyu said: "Mother, who are the six heroines you just mentioned?"

Zhen Yue said: "It's your Uncle Xuanxiang and his five sisters. ”

Bai Siyu said: "Uncle Xuanxiang?"

Lin Xuanxiang put down the Sanqing sword and said: "That day, my five sisters and I were ambushed by the people of the Dali Diancang Sect, unfortunately seriously injured, because of the darkness and familiarity of the terrain to escape, fortunately met Zhen Senior Sister, and the six of my sisters were rescued. ”

Zhang Qingyuan said: "The Diancang faction has become more and more disagreeable in recent years, the head of the sect Situ Jie went around robbing the secret books of his sect and his faction, in a vain attempt to get Dacheng, not long ago he led his disciples to the Song Kingdom and Shu to do evil, but fortunately he was defeated back by the two factions of Qingcheng and Wushanji. ”

Zhen Yue looked up at the window, the moon was shining in the sky, and her thoughts gradually returned to the past.

The dim lights swayed slightly in the evening breeze, but they were never extinguished.

Seeing that all six of them were wounded, the old man hurriedly shouted, "Amei, come out quickly." ”

The woman walked out of the kitchen quickly, saw six people covered in blood, and exclaimed, "Why are they all injured like this, come, hurry up and help them to the bed." ”

One of the most seriously wounded heroines lay down on the bed, and a less seriously injured heroine wiped the blood from her forehead. Zhen Yue carefully observed the six people and estimated that these six people were disciples of the Qinglu Palace of the Xia Kingdom. Zhen Yue knew that although Qinglu Palace was a powerful chess piece to maintain the Li regime of the Xia Kingdom, Qinglu Palace had always put chivalry first, punishing evil and promoting good, which was prestigious, so Zhen Yue decided to do his best to heal the six injured disciples of Qinglu Palace.

After a while, Zhen Yue finished bandaging, put away the medicine box, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the six heroines must be from Qinglu Palace." ”

The leading female disciple pondered for a moment and said, "The girl has good eyesight, and the six of my senior sisters are the disciples of Qinglu Palace. Look at the girl, your clothes are not like those of my Xia Kingdom, dare to ask where the girl came from?"

Zhen Yue said: "The little woman is from the Song Kingdom, and she traveled all the way, and she happened to pass by here. ”

The leading female disciple said: "The girl really has the style of a master in the world, she is young, but her medical skills are already so profound, today thanks to the girl's rescue, dare to ask the girl's name?"

Zhen Yue said: "The little girl's surname is Zhen, and her single name is a Yue character. I am a teacher from the Tianzhu faction of the Song Kingdom, if you don't dislike it, my sister can call me a junior sister. ”

The leading female disciple said: "It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of the Tianzhu Sect, surnamed Lin, and named Xuanxiang. Excuse me, where is Senior Sister Zhen going next?"

Zhen Yue said: "There is no specific place to go, just walking around, collecting wild medicinal materials and refining medicine according to the book." ”

Lin Xuanxiang said: "This goes to the southeast, about a day's journey, there is a canyon, I heard that there is no one in this canyon, rich in medicinal herbs, is a place with many and dense plants." ”

Zhen Yue smiled and said, "Then I'm interested in going and taking a look." ”

Lin Xuanxiang said: "Tomorrow, after my junior sister's condition improves slightly, I will accompany you and lead the way for Senior Sister Zhen." ”

Zhen Yue said: "It's so good, there is Senior Sister Laurin." ”
