Chapter 116

Shen Qiao originally thought that Yan Wushi's injury was not serious.

Who knew this pulse detection, but found that the other party's qi pulse was stagnant, the blood qi was not smooth, and there was a faint sign of stasis, which seemed to be a bit more serious than before.

Could it be that Xue Ting's martial arts has reached the realm of "looks like duckweed, but is actually bone-piercing"?

But if Xueting's martial arts had reached this level, how could he have been defeated by Yan Wushi and let the other party abolish his martial arts?

Yan Wushi covered his mouth and coughed twice to solve the mystery for him: "I'm busy taking care of the Huanyue Sect these days, and I want to slowly bring back the previously dispersed forces, so I don't have time to heal. I didn't expect it to be so serious."

Shen Qiao frowned: "This matter is about the body, so it can be ignored?"

Yan Wushi smiled, obviously not taking it seriously: "It doesn't matter, it's not a fatal injury, it will heal in three or five days."

Shen Qiao thought for a while, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and put it on the table: "You and I are in conflict with the fundamentals of internal strength and Dao, I can't help you, but there are many good medicines for trauma that have been passed down through the generations in Xuandu Mountain. This is my basis. One of the recipes, which was prepared in a pharmacy recently, if you can trust it, take it first, three pills a day, it can slow down the injury."

Yan Wushi picked up the porcelain bottle, and it was a little warm, with the body temperature of Shen Qiao.

His thumb rubbed over the delicate porcelain vase, accompanied by a touch of inexplicable ambiguity.

Shen Qiao doesn't look like much, but when he is suspicious and doesn't believe in himself, he accepts it on the surface, but when he turns around, he secretly throws away the medicine. That would be a waste of money. There are also a lot of precious medicinal materials here. I don't know how many people can be saved, so He added: "If you don't eat, then pay me back. It's not a serious injury."

"Why don't you eat it?" Yan Wushi saw that he was looking at the porcelain bottle, and he was amused, but it was not as he wished. He pulled out the stopper, poured three grains into his mouth, and took the plum drink in front of Shen Qiao with water. swallow.

"I feel that my chest is stagnant and stuffy, and I immediately cleared it." Yan Wushi touched his chest and said.

Shen Qiao: "...this is not an elixir."

Yan Wushi laughed: "I mean that plum drink! I heard that people who practice Taoism can even use body fluids as medicine, and you have drunk plum drink just now, isn't it your body fluid?"

In the face of such bawdy words, what else can Shen Qiao say, Rao has heard a lot of brazen words all day, and his fair face couldn't help but turn a light red.

Yan Wushi saw the embarrassed look in his eyes, without saying a word, he propped up the table to get up and wanted to leave, he held his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, it's the medicine that works, not the body fluid, when are you going to prepare the pills? , why didn't I know?"

Shen Qiao said with a stern face: "Is it possible that everything in the poor way has to be reported to Sect Master Yan?"

Yan Wushi: "Of course not, but do I care about you, I'm afraid you won't have enough money to spend, and I'm afraid you will be deceived."

Shen Qiao: "It turns out that the poor way is so stupid in Sect Master Yan's mind."

Yan Wushi's heart is not, isn't it? I don't know how stupid you can be sold to Sang Jingxing by me, but he still smiled and said: "That's not true, since you went down the mountain, you have been growing day by day, I saw it in my eyes, and now I'm much smarter than before."

Shen Qiao endured and endured, and couldn't help saying: "I think Sect Master Yan is like this, and it doesn't look like he has internal injuries. If you say a few more words, maybe you can get better faster!"

Yan Wushi smiled: "That won't work. Without the good medicine of Daochang Shen, it is destined to be slower. I heard that Yang Jian gave you a sum of money?"

Shen Qiao: "Yes, that money was used to build the Xuandu Temple."

Yan Wushi: "So, do you really plan to stay in Chang'an?"

Shen Qiao: "It's hard to say, I want to go back to Xuandu Mountain to see first. If the matter of Xuandu Mountain can be solved, Xuandu Mountain will be born in the future, and it will be an extra foothold in Chang'an. Looking at Yang Jian, he is quite heroic and talented, not such a faint-hearted monarch who is partial to trust and listening, and he has a lot of respect for Taoism, maybe Taoism can really usher in an opportunity for its rise."

Yan Wushi reminded him: "He did this just to win people's hearts."

Shen Qiao smiled and said: "I know, but there is nothing wrong with it. Although I am a member of the Taoist sect, I don't dare to say that there are no scum in the sect. There will be kings who plunder the people's property for the benefit of a sect, so that the people can't live well. Yang Jian is deeply influenced by Buddhism, but he can still treat Confucianism and Taoism fairly. In my opinion, this is the bearing of a king of a country. The most important thing is Yes, if Xuandushan wants to join the WTO, now is a good time."

Yan Wushi raised his eyebrows: "You don't worship Qi Fengge, why do you contradict his opinion on this matter?"

Shen Qiao: "At this moment, at that moment, when my master was alive, there was no such opportunity. If his old man was still alive, he would definitely agree with my idea."

Yan Wushi: "Oh, when you say this, this seat understands."

Shen Qiao: "Understand what?"

Yan Wushi: "If you want to do, just say that Qi Fengge will agree. If you don't want to do it, just say to obey Qi Fengge's will. Anyway, he is dead and won't jump out to refute you."

He said this on purpose, but Shen Qiao didn't become angry, but thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "You're right to say that."

Between this smile, the eyes flowed, and the splendor was shining, as straight as a room full of light, and even Yan Wushi couldn't help but fix his gaze on him.

Shen Qiao: "The first teacher is a person who can't understand it any more, and he will definitely understand my thoughts."

Yan Wushi raised his eyebrows, and Master was very disapproving of his opening and closing, but he prided himself on being generous, and naturally he would not bother with a dead person.

It can also be seen that although Shen Qiao has a decent temperament, he is by no means a person bound by rules. This is the reason why Qi Fengge finally chose Shen Qiao as his successor from the five disciples.

Yan Wushi: "Since you have accepted the imperial court's edict, even if you don't actually have to obey the order, you are nominally related to the imperial court. In this case, the matter of Xuandu Mountain is not entirely your personal matter. Yuezong's current relationship with the Sui Dynasty, if Yang Jian knew that you were going to Xuandu Mountain, he would ask me for help even if I didn't say it. I'll let Bianyanmei follow you on this trip. Some help for you."

He said the reason for this, but Shen Qiao stopped rejecting it, nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

After that, Shen Qiao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You are injured, it is better to rest in these days."

Don't just jump around all over the place.

Yan Wushi's smile deepened: "A Qiao, are you caring about me?"

Shen Qiao: "No."

Yan Wushi: "You lie."

Shen Qiao: "..." Then what are you asking me to do?

Yan Wushi sighed: "Although I am very moved, I am destined to live up to your expectations, don't forget, the old bald donkey is still waiting for me to cook, how can you say that he was also a dignified Zhou Dynasty national teacher, a Buddhist leader, How could I neglect him for so long?"

I think you are very embarrassed, Shen Qiao thought, he caught the key words in the other party's words: "You want to kill him?"

Yan Wushi said lazily: "This seat will use him to exchange for a huge benefit."

What great benefits, he refused to say, Shen Qiao also knew that he couldn't ask, so he didn't ask anymore.

A few days later, Yuan Ying was very happy when she heard that Shen Qiao was going to return to Xuandu Mountain, and ran to ask Shen Qiao when she would leave.

However, Shen Qiao was not going to take him away, because the Xuandu Temple was still under construction and someone needed to watch it. Yuan Ying was undoubtedly the best candidate.

When Yuan Ying heard Shen Qiao's arrangement, her face immediately fell from joy to decadence and disappointment, which was obviously unbearable.

Seeing this, Shen Qiao was surprised: "Fourth Junior Brother, do you really want to go back to Xuandu Mountain?"

"No, it's not." Yuan Ying said in distress, Yu Shengyan has been playing with him these days if he has something to do, Yuan Ying said that he can't say it, but his martial arts is stronger than others, but Yu Shengyan didn't do it, Yuan Ying is a Honest children, you can't beat people first, and thinking that you are under the roof, you can't embarrass your second senior brother, so they endure them one by one, and have long listed Yushengyan as the first troublesome person, and avoid them when they see them from a distance. .

Shen Qiao patted him on the shoulder: "I know that you are dedicated to cultivating the Dao and don't care about foreign affairs, but this time I have not thought of a more suitable candidate for the construction of Xuandu Temple except you, I will try to come back as soon as possible, only Please help me first."

Yuan Ying hurriedly said: "Second Senior Brother, you can go anyway, I will go there every day to watch, I won't tell you, you worry about it."

Shen Qiao: "Thank you, Aying."

Yuan Ying: "Second Senior Brother, don't say these words, we are under the master's sect, but I am the most useless one, I have never been able to help, I have always been very, very uncomfortable, rare. You will let me do something, I can't wait!"

Long time no see, this fourth junior brother who always wanted to hide behind others is also sensible, Shen Qiao is very pleased.

When he arranged everything properly, Yan Wushi left Chang'an one step ahead of him, and after Yan Wushi, Shen Qiao and Bianyanmei also set off for Xuandu Mountain.

Bianyanmei is a very interesting person. He is interesting in doing things and speaking, but he is very measured in advance and retreat. He will not be like Yan Wushi who often plays off and provokes Shen Qiao into anger. Walking with such a person is naturally a blessing. It's like a spring breeze, not to mention that Shen Qiao is not difficult to get along with. For others, Shen Qiao is also a good companion. He is not pushy, he is willing to listen to others patiently, and can be the most reliable help in the event of danger. , Anyone would like to have such a friend.

Bianyanmei doesn't have much contact with Shen Qiao, but he mostly walks in the courtroom and has an almost keen insight into people's hearts. He is naturally willing to be friends with a person like Shen Qiao who will not betray his friends. As the saying goes, one more friend means one more retreat. Although Bianbianmei was taught by Yan Wushi, the essence is not much different from that of his own master, but compared to his teacher, he is a little more slick, and Bianbianmei knows Yan. There is no teacher's mind, and they intend to make friends along the way, so the two naturally get along happily.

The two of them have light power, and they have good horses to support them. If they travel day and night, it will only take three or five days. If they travel day and night, it will only take ten days. With Mei along the edge, he naturally couldn't force others to accompany him on the road.

After ten or so days, the two came to Xuandu Town at the foot of Xuandu Mountain.

Bianbianmei saw that the town was lively and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xuandu Town has become more and more prosperous in the past two years. I came here once a few years ago, but I only remember that the population was even smaller at that time."

Shen Qiao also hadn't come for a long time, and looked around several times: "Yes, the green mountains remain the same, things are right and wrong!"

He grew up on the mountain since he was a child, and he was very familiar with Xuandu Town, so he was naturally more emotional than Bianbianmei.

At this time, the two of them were sitting in the tea house to rest and eat tea. When the guy next to him heard this, he came over and interjected: "I'm afraid this kind of liveliness will not last long!"

Shen Qiao: "How do you say this?"

Buddy: "Hey, the two of you must also know that the fields at the foot of the mountain belong to the Taoist priests on Mount Xuandu. In the past, the past few headmasters were sympathetic to our difficult life, and we received very little rent. We are also grateful. If not, It's not as bustling and lively as Xuandu Town, but I don't know what the new headmaster thinks. A few days ago, he suddenly said that he would raise the rent for this year, and the number was also raised very high. How can we bear it? , Even if you run an inn and restaurant here, even a tea house like us has to pay rent. If this continues, who would dare to do business? Our boss said that after this month, we will pack up and go back to our hometown!"

Shen Qiao: "This new headmaster? Is it Yu Ai?"

The guy shook his head: "I don't seem to have the surname Yu. It is said that he became the headmaster last month. He used to be the eldest disciple of Qi Zhenren..."

Shen Qiao: "Tan?"

Buddy: "That's right, it's the surname Tan!"

Shen Qiao and Bianbianmei looked at each other.

"But I heard that it wasn't Headmaster Yu, why did he become Headmaster Tan?" Shen Qiao suppressed the shock in his heart.

The guy scratched his head: "That villain doesn't know!"

After a few words of gossip, when he saw another guest came in for tea, he hurriedly put it down and went over to say hello.

Shen Qiao slowly frowned: "How could it be that the senior elder brother became the head teacher, Yu Ai?"

Bianyanmei said: "We set out at the end of last month, and it happened to be the beginning of the month when we arrived here. It is possible to miss the news along the way. Go back and ask someone. Don't worry about Daochang Shen, and we will not be too late to go up the mountain when we ask about the situation. ."

Shen Qiao: "Alright."

Since they wanted to find out the situation, the two of them had to find a place to live first. The post house and commercial store were always a good place to inquire about news. Bianyanmei was familiar with it. Not a small inn, and said to Shen Qiao: "Those merchants and people in the rivers and lakes have a characteristic, unless they come from a noble family, they will never go to a good place, but this kind of environment, good or bad, yes The most people will choose, and it is best to inquire about the news here."

Shen Qiao naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Xuandu Zifu is also a big sect of Taoism. Since Yu Ai announced the reopening of the mountain gate, many young people have come here one after another to seek apprenticeships and learn arts. The generation has fallen, and some people have heard a lot of martial arts stories and yearn for swordsmanship. Many of them have good qualifications, but they are no exception, and they will not be born in a wealthy family, because if they are children of high families, the family will naturally A better path will be arranged for them, and there is no need to travel all the way here to seek a teacher.

However, as Bian Yanmei said, they will choose this kind of good or bad inn as their destination.

The lobby on the first floor was noisy, and the two of them went in and found a place to sit down.

It just so happened that there were also a few young men with swords sitting next to them, and they didn't need to ask more, the other party had already started talking about what happened on the rivers and lakes recently.

One person said: "Have you heard that the Huanyue Sect Sect Master has estimated the gauntlet to Hulu!"

Shen Qiao was about to pick up the cup when he heard the shock, and his movements stopped.
