The first aftermath
Outside the window, a slightly cool autumn breeze blew. The dead branches of the osmanthus tree rustled. A few withered yellow leaves hovered in the air. Only the few stubborn little hanging flowers remained stubbornly standing on the branches, swaying in the wind, exuding a fragrance that seemed to be there.
Under the tree, the delicate little girl hurriedly walked to the room with a bowl of steaming porridge in both hands. Silently pushed open the door with his body, looking at the haggard little boy on the bed, his already red and swollen eyes became more and more rosy.
Putting the hot porridge at the head of the bed, he gently patted Chi Daokuan, who was guarding Zhang Sen's bedside.
Chi Daokuan shook his somewhat dizzy head, and when he saw Zhang Suxin's big watery eyes, he stood up a little unbearably. Yawned slightly. "Not awake yet"
Zhang Suxin nodded disappointedly and whispered: "I'll come, you go eat something first, and then have a good rest." ”
Chi Daokuan nodded, got up and walked two steps, suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Zhang Suxin's somewhat messy hair, opened his mouth, and stopped talking. Hey~ shook his head and sighed, and closed the door.
Zhang Suxin warmed the towel, wiped Zhang Sen's face, and called softly: "Brother." Seeing that the little boy lying on the bed didn't react after all, Zhang Suxin picked up the hot soup, scooped it with a spoon, put it to her mouth and blew it, and took another sip to make sure it was warm and appropriate. Only then did it begin to pour into Zhang Sen's mouth.
Ben's movements seem a little greasy, but they look very warm on the two teenagers
Warm streams lay into his body, and Zhang Sen groaned softly with some comfort: "Uh"
Zhang Suxin on the side of the bed was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Sen with his eyes closed, and thought that he was hallucinating. Continue pouring the soup.
The five senses of the body are slowly returning, and the dark vision is gradually beginning to shine, but the head is still a little drowsy. I moved my fingers a little and tried to lift my arm, but I couldn't do it. The body is a little heavy. It seemed that he heard something, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Sen finally opened his eyes slightly and looked at the three people standing in front of him. The mush in my brain began to fade. After a while, Zhang Sen opened his mouth and shouted: "Uncle Chi" was so hoarse that even he was startled!
Chi Yuan nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, put one arm on Zhang Sen's pulse, and paused for a few breaths. smiled and nodded: "Lie down and recuperate for two more days, and your body will be fine." ”
Hearing Chi Yuan's words, Zhang Suxin couldn't hold back any longer, covered her mouth and began to cry silently, tears falling like raindrops in front of Zhang Sen's eyes.
I wanted to comfort him, but his throat was a little uncomfortable, Zhang Sen opened his mouth, and the sound that could come out was just a "uh-uh" voice.
Chi Yuan looked at Zhang Sen's anxious appearance, shook his head, and stretched out a finger between his eyebrows. A little flash of inspiration. Zhang Sen immediately fell into a coma again
The second time I woke up, it was night. Guarding the bedside is still Zhang Suxin. Zhang Sen tried to move his body with great difficulty, and Zhang Suxin immediately woke up. Looking at Zhang Sen's familiar face, a pair of eyes began to watery again.
"Silly girl, I'm fine. Zhang Sen laughed softly and patted Zhang Suxin's forehead with some pity. I looked around and looked at the familiar decoration, and confirmed that it was my room. Strangely asked, "How many days, why am I here?"
"It was a beautiful sister who sent you!" Zhang Suxin thought about the situation at that time and added. "There was a woman with me at the time!"
"After that beautiful sister put you down, she said something to Uncle Chi Yuan, and left again. ”
"At the beginning, Uncle Chi said that in three or two days, you will be able to wake up. But later, somehow, Uncle Chi helped you check your pulse, and found that you were unsettled, so he gave you a lot of herbs. It has been half a month since you said that you should slowly recover by yourself. ”
"Yes, I see. Drinking the tea handed by Zhang Suxin, he digested the information a little. Straighten her hair. "You go back to sleep first, don't worry about me, I'm fine now!"
Zhang Suxin looked at Zhang Sen's face and wanted to say something. "Go. Obedient. Zhang Sen said again.
Watching Zhang Suxin close the door, Zhang Sen breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes were a little shiny and he looked at the old osmanthus trees outside the window, and whispered to himself: "Today I know that I am me!"
The next day, before dawn, Zhang Sen got up early and played tiger and bear plays over and over again in the empty yard. Feeling the warm air flow between heaven and earth flowing in the body, there is some real and inexplicable joy. It's never been better! I'm getting ready to start practicing crane play. was stopped by Chi Yuan, who was standing aside at some point. "Come with me to the study first, I have something to tell you. ”
Chi Yuan looked at Zhang Sen who was sitting on a chair with a book in his hand, and said with a smile: "I know the ins and outs of the matter. I think you have a lot of doubts. Let's go one by one. ”
Zhang Sen thought about the abnormal changes in his body and raised his head: "Uncle, what kind of herb is that 'fairy spirit grass'?"
Chi Yuan listened, and took out the "Herbal Herb Book" from the bookshelf: "I haven't seen that kind of rare herb either. It's just that there is a record in the book, and the specific origin is not stated in the book, but it is said that the 'fairy spirit grass' grows slowly, and it blooms once in ten years, with nine as the extreme. into the number of nine, before it can be used in medicine. After that, it takes 30 years for each flower to bloom! Its petals can warm the soul! The stamen can see the heart and see the true self. ”
"See your true self?" Zhang Sen hung his head and muttered to himself.
"I just want to talk about it, and see the true self, which can only be seen by the monks of the 'One' Realm when they cross the Heavenly Tribulation. Just a flower and a plant, how capable is that!?"
As if he was a little happy, Chi Yuan closed the book, held it in his hand, and said, "Monk, in the final analysis, what is cultivated is a divine soul." The spirit is powerful and has many benefits for spiritual practice. The simplest example is that the veins can withstand more force. So to the monks, the petals of this grass are truly a treasure. ”
Turning to page 3672 of the book, Chi Yuan pointed to the fragments in the book, and sighed with some emotion: "Regarding the page of "Fairy Spirit Grass", I tore it off, but it was not because of you, but because of some old things. ”
Looking at Zhang Sen's somewhat puzzled expression, Chi Yuan shook his head and continued: "Old things, don't talk about it! But this 'fairy spirit grass' is a strange grass in the world, and I have never heard of it in the past hundred years! To some extent, it is also good luck for you to come across it!"
Zhang Sen smiled bitterly twice, and thought of the thrilling encounter in the cave again. "Uncle Chi, why does that old man have to let us pick it, I don't believe he can't do it himself!"
Chi Yuan nodded. "Yes, the reason why the old man asked you to pick it is because you can't do it. The picking conditions of this 'fairy grass' are also interesting. It is necessary to have a young man under the age of fifteen, and he must have a perfect body and a strong spirit! Pick the stamens first, and then pick the leaves! No one knows why! It's just that according to records, some people have tried to pick the petals first, and the 'fairy spirit grass' that they picked has no medicinal effect!"
Zhang Sen nodded knowingly. "No wonder"
"Well, do you have any thoughts on that old man? Chi Yuan suddenly said out of nowhere.
Zhang Sen was stunned for a moment, and laughed twice. "It's all over, and besides, I'm fine. After thinking about it, he said again. "But if I meet that old man again, I can't say that I have to repay his 'kindness'!"
Chi Yuan shook his head, stood up and walked to the window: "Not to mention his 'compatible' realm cultivation, even if he is a person, we don't know the details, so how can we talk about 'repaying the favor'?"
As he spoke, he frowned and said to himself: "In this world, how can a 'compat' realm cultivator be so worthless!"
Zhang Sen lowered his head and continued to read. Didn't answer. Intentionally or unintentionally. Both of them avoided the matter of the stamen of the "fairy grass". Zhang Sen was skeptical. And Chi Yuan is related.
looked at Zhang Sen, who was still immature in front of him. Chi Yuan tightened his fingers holding the book.
contained. Almost all the children who have picked the 'fairy spirit grass' have not ended well, and they may have shined in the first few years, but for some reason, or after a few years, or decades, most of their temperaments have changed greatly. Finally a bizarre death!
Looking at the little boy with his head hanging in front of him, Chi Yuan mistook pity for his identity. If there is really an accident, let go of this body cultivation, and find the old man to ask for an explanation!
