Chapter 23: When I meet the old acquaintance again, people are not
After breakfast, I took Xu Tongzhen to buy a few clothes, and Zhifa Dao Ren went to the horse market to buy a carriage. It was already noon.
He found a roadside stall and ordered two mutton steamed buns. The master and apprentice ate slowly. Xu Tongzhen suddenly asked, "Master, why are you buying a carriage?" Thinking of the master and apprentice hiking on the Jianmen Shu Road before. Although it was difficult, he had walked through such a difficult road. He didn't think that the master would kindly buy a carriage for him to carry on.
Zhifei Taoist smiled and said, "Of course it's time to travel."
"Ah?" Xu Tongzhen expressed surprise, but was knocked on the forehead by Zhifei Taoist man with chopsticks. "What, eat your meal." Seeing Xu Tongzhen feel aggrieved and "Oh" and lowered his head to eat, Zhifei Taoist man explained again: "I was deliberately honing your will before, and I wanted to teach you some tips for outdoor life. What better than what you have experienced in person? Now that this subject is over, naturally I don't need to do this next. Well, as a teacher, I am actually a lazy person and I am not willing to walk."
Xu Tongzhen secretly curled his lips, but did not dare to say anything. After a while, he asked again: "Master, where are we going next?"
After ate a bun with satisfaction, the Taoist Zhifei said, "Next, I will take you to meet a great hero. Well, the real great hero, um, he may not be famous now."
Xu Tongzhen expressed his discomfort: "Master, since he is a great hero, why do you say he is notorious?" Zhifei Taoist smiled and said, "This is one of your next courses. Just use your own eyes and soul to judge. As a teacher, I will warn you a sentence of 'It's okay to conjecture whether something is there without seeing or not,' I hope you can understand it."
Xu Tongzhen was smart after all, so he replied: "Master means that this great hero is misunderstood? But as long as you explain it, how can you make it infamous?"??? The Taoist patted Xu Tongzhen's shoulder with approval: "Silly child, the things in this world are not as black or white as you imagined. Moreover, people are more willing to believe the answer they want, which sometimes affects people's judgment more than whether it is reasonable or not. Moreover, if the position is different, then the conclusions drawn from things will be different, or even completely opposite. For example, there is a saying that is 'One hero, my enemy,' you should know it."
Xu Tongzhen shook his head blankly: "I know what you said, but Master, what you said is a bit complicated, and it is a bit difficult for me to understand."
The Taoist Zhifei smiled and said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, you will understand one day. I'll tell you this just to remind you, just know it."
Xu Tong responded, stopped talking, and ate heavily.
The next morning, the master and apprentice drove their carriages to Songshan. As soon as they arrived in the wild, the Taoist knew that they had not been able to pull Xu Tongzhen off the carriage and said, "After buying the carriage for the master, there is no money at hand. Let's make some herbs and go to the city to exchange for money."
Xu Tongzhen was helpless. This master was really unreliable. However, he had to play a guest role with Zhifeidaoist. When he was picking some herbs and passing by the town, he could go to exchange for some silver and money. After passing two towns, Zhifeidaoist saw that the silver and money were enough for a while before he stopped this activity.
Whenever it was time to rest, Zhifa Taoist would instruct Xu Tongzhen to practice boxing and kicking. On this day, seeing that Xu Tongzhen's foundation was almost the same, Zhifa Taoist would call Xu Tongzhen and ask, "Tongzhen, have you remembered all the meridians and acupoints clearly?"
Xu Tongzhen replied: "I have already remembered it."
In fact, when he was still on the Shu Road of Jianmen, Xu Tongzhen had already memorized the "Huangdi Neijing" while he was rushing, so the meridians and acupoints were naturally no problem.
Zhifei Taoist nodded after hearing this: "I think you have already laid a good foundation now. Next, I will teach you internal skills and mental skills. Well, you can learn swordsmanship, so let's learn together."
Xu Tongzhen said obediently: "But it depends on the arrangements of the master."
The interaction between master and apprentice along the way will not be mentioned. On this day, when Professor Xu Tongzhen was practicing swords, the horse tied to the road broke free from the rope and ran away. Of course, when the horse was lost, Xu Tongzhen could clearly see the smile on the corner of his master's mouth.
Without a horse, the cart would naturally not be used, so they had to throw it next to the road. The master and apprentice could only measure the road with their feet. Walking and stopping, on this day, the master and apprentice arrived at a territory called Xu Jiaji and found the largest inn in the local area. As soon as they were about two rooms, they turned around and saw a man with a very tall figure, Qiao Feng.
It was really a coincidence. The Taoist Zhifa originally planned to wait for Qiao Feng in Juxianzhuang, but unexpectedly met him. He immediately said hello and said, "It turns out that it is the leader of the Qiao gang. I haven't seen each other for many days. Is it good?"
Qiao Feng looked up and recognized the Taoist who knew nothing. He smiled bitterly, "It turned out to be the Taoist priest in front of him. But he was no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect. Moreover, Qiao is now a great evil man who is not tolerated by everyone and cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth. Taoist priest is not convenient to get close to Qiao."
Although he was open-minded in his words, he could hear the desolation behind his back. He said immediately: "I heard about Brother Qiao's affairs before, and I have also heard people talk about it recently. However, I would rather believe in the leader of the Qiao gang."
Xu Tongzhen, who was next to the Taoist, suddenly spoke: "Uncle Qiao, Master said, 'The clear one is clear and turbid one is turbid', and he also said, 'The original intention is not easy, and no wind or rain can be added', why should uncle care about other people's eyes?"
Qiao Feng smiled bitterly and praised, "What a smart and clever child." He looked at the Taoist Zhifei and said, "Is this the Taoist priest's disciple? It's indeed extraordinary."
The Taoist Zhifei smiled and said, "That's right. I saw Brother Qiao in a hurry, but what's the urgent matter?"
Qiao Feng said: "That's true. A companion of mine was hit by the Great Vajra Palm of Shaolin Temple and was about to find a doctor to treat his injury."
Zhifei Taoist smiled and said, "I am a little familiar with medical skills. If Brother Qiao is more trustworthy than me, you might as well let me see." Qiao Feng was overjoyed. He also knew that there was unlikely that there would be any famous doctors in these small places. Zhifei Taoist dared to speak, he should be somewhat sure.
At that moment, the Zhifei Taoist was led to Azhu's room.
After taking the pulse, the Taoist frowned. Although he could cure this injury, if the method of medicine and stone was used, it would take more than half a year to work, and the medicinal materials needed were extremely precious. He was not sure that he could get the medicinal materials. As for the other method, it was the healing chapter of the Nine Yin Scriptures. However, there were many taboos in the healing chapter. Qiao Feng did not fall in love with A Zhu at the moment. He was an open and honest man. He might not be willing to stay with A Zhu in a secret room for seven days and seven nights. After thinking for a long time, he finally explained these two methods and let Qiao Feng consider it.
Seeing that Qiao Feng was also hesitant, the Taoist said again: "If Brother Qiao is in a dilemma, I have a elixir here, which can hold Miss Zhu's vitality. With Brother Qiao's daily internal strength maintenance, it can ensure two years of safety. However, in the past two years, it is OK to seek a famous doctor to treat him. Otherwise, even if the Medicine King Sun Zhenren is alive, he will not be able to save him. How to choose, Brother Qiao will make a decision by himself."
