Chapter 23 Meditation Room
The sound of hibiscus blossoming is like Sanskrit singing. -- Tranquility
On a rainy day, the drizzle converges in the eaves and tiles to slowly fall, and the whole meditation room is dyed in a dark blue hue in such weather. In the vermilion lacquer, there is a slight purple streamer.
Simple, dignified, and distant, everything is silent.
Even the koi fish in the glass jar rested in the water and died, and generally couldn't move. At the bottom of the glass jar is a layer of fine gray sand, on which a green rhizome grows, and when it reaches the surface of the water, countless lotus leaves spread out on the water surface, and a white and flawless, small and delicate hibiscus blooms lazily on the water surface.
Fish, water, and hibiscus are placed in a wide-mouthed glass jar in their own right, which is not crowded at all, and encompasses the world with a small view.
A guqin sat quietly on the table, and there was no other decoration except for the tight strings.
It's quiet in a quiet corner.
Meng Li knelt on the ground, her legs and feet were a little numb, and when she saw that there was no one for a long time, she simply bent her knees and sat on the ground to relax. At this moment, the door of the meditation room creaked open, and Meng Li immediately knelt straight again. The sound of small footsteps stopped at the door, and the man put down his bone umbrella, dusted off the rain, and walked in.
The light outside the room poured in with her, and the whole meditation room seemed to come to life, and the koi in the glass jar shook its golden tail in shock, and the jar of hibiscus swayed. A breeze came in from outside the door, wrapped in the white curtain beside the guqin, like a sympathetic hand, gentle and affectionate, and like a wave, back and forth, consciously or unconsciously, sweeping the strings, silently expressing their hearts.
A female doll walked in with the comer, and the petite figure walked past Meng Li, Meng Li looked up curiously, and her eyes followed her figure. I saw her arrive at the high desk, tiptoe and reach out to remove a piece of sandalwood from the sandalwood box above. Then go to the table, take out the incense burner engraved with the golden beast, use a white goose feather to carefully clean the dust of the incense burner, and then take out a wooden stick with flat ends to flatten the incense ash inside, and finally put the sandalwood into the middle of the incense burner, light it, and cover the hollow incense burner lid. Then, the girl sat down quietly beside Jingyi.
There was smoke rising from the incense burner, soaring through the clouds, and the meditation room was immediately filled with the peaceful scent of sandalwood.
Jing Yi was very satisfied, and only then did he pay attention to Meng Li, and said: "There have been too many things recently, so Master has to find you today, so that I can tell you about the things that hurt Qin Su that day." ”
Meng Li didn't hear Jingyi's words clearly, but she had already expected what she was looking for today, and she was ready to kill the pig without fear of boiling water, and she would not tell the real reason if she was killed. At this moment, she was tilting her head to look at the girl sitting next to Jingyi from a distance, she was Jingyi's newly accepted disciple, Nuo.
He felt as if someone was looking at him, and he looked up a little uncomfortably, and saw that the girl who was kneeling on the ground in the distance was looking at him with a pair of pretty eyes, if it was a boy of the opposite sex, it would be fine, but it was a girl like himself, he glared at her, and then turned his head and stopped looking.
Seeing that Meng Li didn't answer for a long time, Jing Yi's eyes were confused as if she was in a fugue, she turned her head to look at the Nuo beside her, and said, "Arnold, let's go and see if the soup under the corridor is cooked, if not, carefully ignite the fire." When he got this errand, he immediately got up and said, "Yes, Master." "Out of the meditation room.
Seeing that Meng Li was gone, Meng Li suddenly felt bored, and then came back to his senses, but he immediately lowered his head in panic when he looked at Shang Jingyi's hatred of iron and steel.
"You, when will you be able to do something?" Jingyi said with a sigh.
"I know I'm wrong. Meng Li lowered her head and said, sometimes she comes to clean this meditation room, sometimes she is brought to lecture, no matter what, she has not come once or twice, she has already been a regular customer, and even this sentence is very familiar.
"Where did you learn the kung fu that you injured Qin Su that day?" Jing Yi asked, sure enough, it was immersed in the Zen Dao, but there was no trace of anger in the original questioning, it was precisely because of this that Meng Li felt a majesty that could not be bullied, and immediately stood up: "The apprentice beat indiscriminately, but unfortunately injured Senior Brother Qin, and the apprentice himself doesn't know how this happened." ”
Jing Yi was not angry, and said in a clear manner: "Your kung fu has always been procrastinating, even if you have worked hard to improve in those days, it is impossible to surpass Qin Su in a short time, not to mention that you can win the Eight Desolation Palms that he practiced in private, and also beat him to injury, all this is impossible!"
Meng Li was frightened and didn't say a word.
"Listen to Qu Wenchang, a few days ago you went to the Forbidden Forest without permission?" Jing Yi asked.
Qu Wenchang really betrayed himself with a small report, and Meng Li had no choice but to admit: "It turned out that he was confused for a while, please punish the master!"
"I'm going to punish more than that. Jingyi said, "Say, who did you see there?"
"No one has seen it!" Meng Li lowered her head and gritted her teeth.
"You have to get the Law Enforcement Hall, after twelve punishments, are you willing to tell the truth?" Jing Yi's eyes flickered, and a rare anger rose to his eyebrows.
"The apprentice didn't see anyone, even if the twelve punishments of the Law Enforcement Hall passed one by one, he couldn't explain anything. Meng Li said.
"What can't you explain? What do you want to hide from this? Do you know that what you are practicing is a very domineering kung fu, and how vicious it is to break through all kinds of internal skills in the world? Although this kung fu comes from the Xuanmen, it has long been banned! Fortunately, I was the only one who saw it that day, and if it was seen by others, do you think you and the person you protect can still live?" Jingyi's tone was filled with anger, and he pierced the way.
"If you want to die, then you should die me, I will never say that person. Meng Li sulked her head, but she made up her mind to puff up.
"Sure enough. Jing Yi said this, and after closing his eyes, he was relieved to know everything. Her remarks were to provoke Meng Li, and Meng Li was shallow and anxious, and she really said everything.
"Uncle Shi, is he okay?" said for a long time, Jingyi said with the past, full of concern.
Meng Li saw that she no longer asked, but asked this sentence with concern, and said a little ignorantly: "Who is the master talking about?"
"Who else can there be, there are only two people in the world who can make this kung fu, and there is only one one who can guide you in the Xuanmen, the world says that he is dead, but he is still alive. Jing Yi said sadly, "Since I have found you privately today, I just don't want a third person to hear the news of his survival, you just need to tell me about his current situation." ”
"Master, won't you tell others?" Meng Li looked up and exclaimed.
"You underestimate your master. Jing Yi said in a whisper.
"He," Meng Li couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of Ling Chanzi's current situation, and said in a calm voice: "He is sometimes crazy, sometimes sober, living a life where no one is a ghost or a ghost, the disciple goes to visit him every night, brings him some food, he will instruct the apprentice every night on the martial arts, otherwise the apprentice is still as bad as half of the past." ”
Jing Yi felt a cramp in her heart, raised her head and said in pain: "Senior brother, this is the sin you created!" After speaking, countless tears rolled down from his eyes.
Meng Li didn't know what was involved, and she didn't know why her master was so sad, so she said silently: "Master?"
Jing Yi sighed again and turned to Meng Li and said, "Since you have instructed you in martial arts, you should also call him Master!"
"It's called, it's called, otherwise how could he easily pass on my martial arts. Meng Li said immediately.
"Very good, in the past, his martial arts cultivation was the highest among the Xuanmen, you have to study hard, and learning one and a half moves is enough for you to walk around the rivers and lakes in the future. Jingyi was full of relief, and then she looked at Meng Li, as if she had pinned infinite hopes, and solemnly entrusted: "However, you must be a good person in the future, although Guiyuan Yiqi is domineering and vicious, as long as it is to deal with the great traitor and evil person, it is to do the right thing for heaven! In the future, Master, I will pass on you a set of six-tone fingering, you can follow the ingenuity of this fingering to remove its vicious force, and the domineering internal force can be used by you to disperse and dredge all the internal injuries and stubborn diseases that remain in the acupuncture points and meridians of the human body, so it is also a merit!"
"Master, the apprentice must be a good man, and never use this martial art to do harmful things, so that this martial art will become a harm to the martial arts!" Meng Li solemnly promised after understanding Jingyi's worries.
"Good, good, good. Jing Yi was satisfied, and then she changed her tone to Meng Li, her tone was cold to the bone, and she asked, "You must remember that you must not show this martial art in front of others in the future, otherwise it will not only bring you but also that person a killing disaster!"
"It's Master!" Meng Li immediately agreed, she didn't know that this kung fu would not only affect her life and death in front of her, but also affect all the love and hate in her long life in the future!
"Master, the medicine is ready!" said Nuo from outside the door, his face scorched with firewood.
"Okay?" Jingyi said with some disbelief, and couldn't help laughing: "This medicine needs to be boiled for two hours, then add the acacia and simmer for four hours, and then separate the medicinal residue and take out the decoction, and then add the seven flavors of herbs to boil and detoxify, back and forth, go around and around, very particular about the time and the heat, a mistake is a harmful poison, very rare!"
"But no, I've been tossing since yesterday until now, and finally tried it with a silver needle to see if it wasn't poisonous before I knew it was finally good. "At a young age, he had to work a stove full of firewood and a jar of medicine residue, which was hard.
"If this medicine is decocted, any medicine will be able to be fried well in the future. Jingyi smiled and comforted her, and then pointed at Meng Li and said, "You can bring it to Qin Su." ”
"Ah, not for Master?"
"Why me?" Meng Li was not happy either.
"Do you think that your injuries are easy to nourish, and of course you will solve the trouble by yourself, why don't you go quickly?"
Meng Li was very unhappy to follow behind Nuo to get the medicine, Nuo thought that this was for Jingyi to boil, she had suffered a lot of cold eyes since she entered the Xuanmen, only Jingyi regarded her as her own, so no matter how troublesome she was, she tried very hard to boil this jar of medicine, but she didn't think that it was not for the master, and she complained to Meng Li at the moment: "It turned out that you injured someone, but I didn't sleep all night last night until now! The person who was injured by you is really a blessing, I have been busy for more than ten hours, you can tell him not to leave a drop!"
"I don't want to, it's better like this, I'll make a meal to compensate you for the opportunity in the future!" Meng Li opened his mouth to compensate.
When Meng Li came to the male disciple's dormitory with this jar of medicine, he saw several male disciples stepping on the ladder and knocking on the door that Meng Li kicked away yesterday.
"I'm too lazy to come, but I have to come today because I was entrusted by someone, if you don't let me in, then I'll go through the window today!" Meng Li pointed to the window that was still intact and smiled.
"Don't don't, we're afraid of you!" they jumped down from the ladder and said, after saying that, they yelled at the dormitory, "That little girl is here again!" After a roar, a group of disciples immediately rushed out of the house, and surrounded Meng Li with a look of great expectation and joy on his face, Meng Li was the first to come forward and asked with a happy smile: "What delicious food did you bring to Qin Su today?"
"Medicine!" Meng Li said succinctly.
"Ahh
Meng Li was a little inexplicable, and walked in with the medicine jar, although Qin Su's injury was not fatal, it blocked a lot of internal force in the meridians, and the quiet guidance and his own daily luck combined were only half of it, and he still couldn't move freely, so he had to stay in bed to recuperate.
Today, when he saw Meng Li, he didn't have the indifference of last time, and he lay on the bed and said very happily: "You're here?"
Meng Li was a little flattered, why did everyone treat themselves very differently today, frowned and said coldly: "Hmm!" Then he handed over the medicine jar and said, "Master specially ordered people to boil it, don't let it down!"
"What is it?" Qin Su said as he looked at the jar that exuded a strong smell of herbs around him.
"Medicine!" Meng Li said.
Qin Su seemed to have been pricked with a blister and immediately deflated, returned to his previous indifference, and said, "Okay, you can leave here!"
Meng Li was confused by his flickering heat and coldness, and said, "You are all so strange today." After speaking, he carefully placed the medicine jar on the table and asked: "This is what people have spent more than a dozen hours boiling, and you can't waste a drop!"
"Got it. Qin Su said coldly, Meng Li thought about it and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it and turned to leave.
After Qin Su filtered out the medicine residue and poured out a bowl and drank it, obediently, even the root of his teeth was bitter, and even his internal organs were turning over the river and protesting after it flowed into his stomach through his throat, he frowned and had a headache at the moment, coughed a few times and said to himself: "These beasts, as soon as they heard that it was medicine, none of them came back to grab it from me! There was not a drop of yesterday's soup left, and today I can only drink this alone!"
