Chapter 27 Take the Food
Qingwei was waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain, and just now teased a few four or five-year-old novices, but she made people cry, and now she is annoying. She had been following the old lady to find Wu Xu, but then the thunder came, and the whole county saw it, and the old lady sent her back to the house. Later, she heard about what was happening in the temple, so she immediately ran here, and she didn't even have time to bring the guards.
For her, it's something she's supposed to do, and maybe a little fun. Grandpa cares about Wu Xu very much, she can see that naturally she should also care, she has always followed her grandfather's tune, and as for her father, Qingwei has been more or less influenced by her sister.
When her mother died, Qingwei had just been born, everything about her mother she heard from others, and many times, she also envied that others had mothers, but she felt very content now, her sister loved her very much, and took care of her almost like a little mother, even if she really had a little mother.
But everyone said that it was the woman who caused her mother to be seriously ill after giving birth, and she didn't know who to believe, because she felt that woman was very kind and pitiful. She also thought that the young lady named Lan Jin was very beautiful, but her sister did not allow her to associate with them, and even the people in the house did not treat them. So Qingwei felt that they were very pitiful, and there was only one maid waiting for their mother and daughter, and they lived next to the garden, and they had to do some work to grow vegetables and water them.
This was not what she wanted, even though many people said that the woman had killed her mother. But she felt that at least that young lady was innocent, she had never seen such a submissive person, and she liked her very much.
Somehow, she saw the shadow of the young lady from Wu Xu's body, it was a feeling, soft and resolute, very much like a delicate pebble that was constantly sinking and floating in the turbulent sand flow. None of them can hurt others, they are just trying their best to protect themselves.
"Little donor," Master Zhiren had already come to Qingwei at this time, "Master Wu is a guest in the Zen courtyard of the family teacher, and he can't go back to the house yet, so you better go back first." ”
Qingwei looked very disappointed and said, "Then you have to tell him and let him come back quickly." ”
Chi Ren smiled: "Don't worry. ”
Qingwei looked up at the mountain a few more times, and then turned around and left. Zhiren noticed that there were no guards around her, frowned, and asked the two monks to secretly send her back to the house.
After Qingwei returned to the house, she asked the little girl at the door a few words, and ran directly to the old lady's courtyard, as soon as she walked into the courtyard, she heard her grandfather's voice in the room, as if she was talking to someone, but Qingwei didn't care, she ran directly into the room, and just called 'grandpa', she saw a girl in green clothes standing up, it was Li Lanjin, her half-sister.
"Sister Lan, are you ...... You're there too. Qingwei saw the old clothes Li Lanjin was wearing, and she didn't know what to say.
"Second Miss. Lan Jin bowed slightly and said softly.
Qingwei was in her heart again, originally the title of Second Miss should have belonged to the girl in front of her, just because her mother was born as a maid, she was deprived of it. Qingwei laughed dryly, which made her feel like a thief.
"Qingwei, where did you go again?" said the old lady.
Qingwei heard this, so she ran over and hugged her grandfather's arm, and said coquettishly: "I heard that Brother Wu Xu is in Huayan Temple, so I ran to ......" Before she finished speaking, she noticed that Lan Jin's face was a little unnatural, thinking that she was coquettish in front of her grandfather and stimulated her, so she hurriedly spread her hand and laughed, not knowing what to do.
"Did you go to Huayan Temple?" The old lady was taken aback, and when it came to Venerable Hongxuan, he couldn't help but be calm, and hurriedly asked Qingwei about the situation, and after hearing Qingwei's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "It's not as good as in the past, fortunately, it's you who went, if the men in the house go, it is likely to make Venerable Hongxuan misunderstand." ”
Qingwei stuck out her tongue and hurriedly made excuses to slip away. In her impression, grandpa rarely met Sister Lan, and this time she didn't know what was going on, anyway, she felt very awkward staying there.
"Lan Jin, what do you think about grandpa?" The old lady looked at Li Lanjin and said, for his granddaughter, his feelings are really complicated, on the one hand, her mother's affairs were exposed, and she indirectly killed her daughter-in-law, on the other hand, she is really well-behaved and very painful, but there is also a real granddaughter of his in the middle - Li Hongfu, many times he can't help but take care of Hongfu's feelings, and deliberately alienate her, and even her food, clothing, housing and transportation are secretly taken care of. But this granddaughter looks supple, but she is a little stubborn in her bones, and she has never used the new clothes and food she gives her, so that he has to carry it on both sides when he does these things now. Now he is planning to marry her to Wu Xu, Wu Xu has not detected the root bone, and it is no longer possible to marry Hongfu. In any case, this is actually a better result for both her and Wu Xu.
Hearing the old lady's words, Lan Jin's face showed a little struggle, and a little ruddy, but in short, she was reluctant.
"Wu Xu, this kid is good at everything," the old lady sighed, and continued: "It's just that there are no roots, and there is no hope for cultivating immortals." Grandpa knows that you live in the house awkwardly, if you are willing to marry him, grandpa will make the decision for you to move out, and then use a few shops as a dowry, you are self-reliant, you don't have to listen to the gossip of the house anymore, do you say?"
Lan Jin has never doubted the arrival of this day, she has no roots and bones, she can't cultivate immortals, and she can't be as good as the eldest lady, and the only way out in the future is to get married, she has already accepted her fate. But she still hopes that this day will come later, although it is really uncomfortable to live in the house, but she hopes that her life can be chosen by herself, instead of casually marrying someone she has never met as she is now.
She really didn't want to, but what could she do, what could she do but guard her last self-esteem in the garden? For this reason, she never wore the clothes that her grandfather secretly sent, and she never ate those beautiful meals, she knew that her stubbornness was very embarrassing to her grandfather, but this was her last self-esteem. You see, even her self-esteem is pitiful, what else can she do?
The old man in front of her, who had been secretly taking care of her, though she rarely met, could see the love in his eyes when he looked at her, unlike the father, who had only indifference in his eyes, although once she saw in his eyes a rare thing she wanted to see, but soon it was covered up by pain and guilt, and then by that chilling indifference. She had become utterly disappointed in that man.
If it was that person who asked her to marry, she would definitely refuse without hesitation, she had no confidence in that person. And now it's her grandfather, she's really struggling, grandpa can't hurt her after all, perhaps, that Wu Xu is really good.
But anyway, everything, that's it. Lan Jin laughed to herself, and said softly for a long time: "Grandpa...... It's up to you. Before she could finish speaking, a few crystalline tears slipped down her beautiful face and dripped onto her hands, which were bone-white from the clenching of them.
Huayan Temple, Houshan Zen Temple.
Wu Xu's body was bubbling with white steam, his red face was crawling with a hideous and terrifying look, and his whole body was trembling violently, and he was about to lose his support.
Venerable Hongxuan solemnly pressed his hands on Wu Xu's waist Yang Guan and Yintang acupoints, and continuously injected true qi into Wu Xu's body, guiding the Yuan Force Stimulation that occurred due to taking too much Youtan Flower, so as to avoid the manic Yuan Force rushing into the spinal cord and brain, "It's Lao Wei's negligence, after all, you haven't cultivated, and you can't skillfully absorb these Yuan Forces, which has led to the current situation that is difficult to control." You must not panic, and absorb it step by step according to the mental method that the old man taught you before. If you really can't support it, you must say it, and the old man will scatter the Yuan Qi for you. ”
"Scattered...... Scatter ...... Is Yuan Qi ...... All the previous efforts have been abandoned?" Wu Xuan spit out these words with great difficulty.
"Not only that, but there will be damage to the body, even irreversible damage, which cannot be done lightly until it is absolutely necessary. ”
"Then I'll ...... Rest assured, I will definitely insist...... It's okay. At this time, the majestic energy Yuan Qi was rampage unscrupulously in Wu Xu's body, and everywhere he went, the blood vessels burst, the muscles and muscles were destroyed, and the unbearable pain spread all over his body, Wu Xuan even had a feeling that death was not the most terrible, and the previous two times were even more different from this time.
Regret shouldn't be greedy, I was not satisfied after eating a Youtan flower, and I even pestered the old monk to swallow two more, but the Yuan Li was uncontrollable. Wu Xu regretted it in his heart, but fortunately, the old monk guarded the Waist Yang Pass and Yintang Acupoint for him, otherwise he would definitely end up paralyzed or even killed directly.
Even so, the current feeling is still that life is worse than death, because the Yintang acupoint is sealed, the brain is not hindered for a while, so now Wu Xu's consciousness is in a completely awake state, and he can clearly feel every inch of flesh and blood on his body as if it was being stripped of life. In this case, he still had to do his best to protect his heart and pulses, but when he looked inside, he saw that the thousands of acupoints in his body were gradually glowing with white light points, and then these light points began to rotate along the acupoints in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. It didn't take long for some acupuncture points to join each other, forming many large whirlpools, enveloping the whole body.
Under the whirlpool of these whirlpools, he saw that the blood vessels and tendons in his body, which had been almost destroyed into rotten flesh, gradually grew back together, and the pain mixed with the strange itching sensation was even more unbearable than before. Moreover, the Yuan Qi in the body was still on a rampage, and the flesh that had just grown was almost immediately destroyed again, and then regrown. This coming and going is a deep pain in the soul. Several times Wu Xu really couldn't hold on and fainted in pain, and then he was awakened by Venerable Hongxuan with his true qi, and every time he woke up, he was reborn in endless suffering, and then died in endless pain.
If Wu Xu's spirit platform did not preserve a trace of clarity, and there was no mother and sister constantly emerging in the spirit platform, Wu Xu would definitely choose to die, and die without nostalgia.
It turns out that there is such pain in this world! Such suffering! It almost makes people feel nostalgic for everything.
