Li Qing took a closer look and saw that the slovenly old man in front of him was the master he had cursed in circles.
Traveling through ten years, more than 90% of the time was spent with the old man.
Although we have only been separated for more than two months now, we can see each other again, but it feels like we are worlds apart.
Various emotions surged into his heart, and Li Qing had an inexplicable urge to cry.
He wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked. Thousands of words finally came together into one sentence:
"Master, why are you even more sloppy?"
"You...you traitor!"
Zhang Slutty was already full of emotions and was about to give his disciple a big hug. When he heard these words, he immediately broke his guard and gritted his teeth and said:
"You killed the master when we first met, and now you have killed the master. Your bones are itching, aren't you?"
"Wrong, wrong." Li Qing apologized again and again, "Master, please sit down quickly. Are you hungry?"
"kind of."
Zhang Sloppy pulled up a chair and sat down, looked around the room, nodded and said: "You're a good guy, can you buy a house now?"
Are the three girls next door your wives?"
"Where?" Li Qingqian smiled and said, "They are my maids."
"Is she really just a maid?"
"...Okay, let's do something sometimes."
Zhang Sulu nodded lightly: "Tao is natural, just follow your heart, but don't indulge too much."
"Disciple, please remember this."
"Hmm...huh?" Zhang Sloppy frowned, "You don't look very good!"
Without waiting for Li Qing's answer, he said: "Is he poisoned?"
"Master has a sharp eye." Li Qing said with a bitter face, "My arms and legs were pierced by poisonous arrows. We were almost separated from each other. Why didn't you come a day earlier?"
Zhang Sloppy stretched out his hand to touch Li Qing's wrist. After a moment, he said calmly: "Okay, I won't die."
"..." Li Qing handed over the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Lao Zhu rewarded, "Master, please eat something first. I have something to tell you."
Zhang Sloppy picked one up and tasted it, "Well, this pastry tastes really good."
He ate happily, "Is it about Queen Ma?"
"Master, you are really amazing." Li Qing quickly flattered her, "Empress Ma is terminally ill and I can't cure her. Is there anything you can do?"
"I...ahem...tea." Zhang Sloppy rolled his eyes as he choked.
Li Qing handed over a cup of tea in a funny manner and stroked his master's back, "Master, I am really at my wits end. I have used all the things you taught me."
"You usually don't practice hard, but now you know how to find the master?" Zhang Sloppy put down the tea cup and patted the residue on his hands, "Okay, today the master will teach you another trick."
Is there a real trick?
Li Qing's eyes lit up, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Master, you really did spare a hand for me."
"...It's not that you don't teach as a teacher, it's that you can't meet the conditions."
"Then Master, do you want to take action yourself?"
"No, no, no." Zhang Sloppy chuckled, "Of course you take care of the job you took. I'm used to being a teacher, but I don't want to be tied here."
Li Qing said helplessly, "The problem is that Queen Ma's life is hanging by a thread. It's just a matter of these few days. I don't have time to learn!"
"You don't have to worry about this, it's very simple." Zhang Sloppy said with a smile, "Here, give me your hand."
"Here." Li Qing stretched out his hand in front of him. At first, he felt his palm was warm, but soon he felt a pure energy flow into his body along the palm.
Wrists, forearms, shoulders... eventually spread to the whole body.
Hundreds of years of Qi is nothing to compare with. In comparison, Li Qing's cultivation level is really not good enough.
"It feels so comfortable, Master. Are you really a god?"
"You damn god." Zhang Sloppy sneered, "I can't survive you."
"Uh..." Li Qing smiled awkwardly, and then regained his energy, "Um...master, what do you think is going on with me?"
Zhang Sloppy took back his hand and sighed, "Look at your wounds."
Li Qing quickly rolled up his sleeves and was dumbfounded when he saw it.
The wound left by the arrow's entire penetration has actually healed, and the same is true when looking at the thigh.
If you pull out the arrow in the afternoon, will it be cured in the evening?
"Master is awesome!"
"Screw you, my master's true energy is not so magical. It's mainly due to your own fault." Zhang Slutty took a sip of tea and said quietly, "You are not on the right track now. I will wait for you to return to the original track.
, maybe it’s normal.
Or maybe, you will never get back on the right track, because you have changed some things now, and the more you go on, the more you will change.
Unless you are far away from the center of power, but...are you willing?"
Li Qing shook his head slightly, "Master, I am not the kind of person who covets wealth and honor."
"Master knows." Zhang Sulu asked, "You can let go of power, but can you let go of it?
When you're on the mountain, you just look at it all day long, isn't that all you do?"
"Disciple... is not as noble as Master thinks." Li Qing sighed softly, "If you can change it, change it. If you really can't change it, don't force it."
Zhang Sloppy smiled and nodded, "I am very pleased that you can think so."
As he spoke, he sighed, "Master can't accompany you through the hardships of this journey, nor can I give you any advice."
"Master, can't you even live forever?"
Zhang smiled sloppily, thought for a while, and finally said a motto: "The trend is irreversible, we need to go with the trend and don't get into trouble."
"Disciple understands."
Li Qing was very disappointed, and suddenly felt an extreme sense of loneliness.
"Master, are you feeling well?"
"Don't worry, it won't be a problem to live for another hundred and eighty years." Zhang Ruotie chuckled, "I'll live on."
Li Qing was amused by the little old man's appearance, and his negative emotions disappeared.
We'll talk about the future later, it's more important to take care of the present first.
"Master, how long can Queen Ma live if she is healed with zhenqi?"
"It's hard to say." Zhang Slutty picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and continued eating, "It depends on the situation."
"Okay." Li Qing sighed and said, "But the disciple is not cultivated enough and cannot use Qi to heal injuries!"
"I'll pass it on to you!" Zhang Sloppy said with a smile.
Li Qing was startled, "What about you?"
"Even if all your true energy is exhausted, you will be back after practicing for a day or two." Zhang said with a sloppy smile, "Besides, you can't keep up with my master's hundred years of skill. Thirty percent is enough."
"Yeah~"
Li Qing felt relieved, "Master, please tell me the specific details of Qi healing."
"Um."
…
Fourth watch.
Zhang sloppily stood up and said, "I have to go. I'll come back tomorrow night."
"Master, please stay here." Li Qing stood up to persuade him to stay, "Let me fulfill my filial piety."
"Forget it, I'm not used to it." Zhang Sloppy shook his head and refused.
Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Li Qing had no choice but to take out a stack of Ming Dynasty treasure notes and said, "Master, take it and buy whatever you want to eat."
This time Zhang Sloppy didn't refuse. After all, even a penny can't help a hero. Immortals also have to eat, and the feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable.
"Okay, I will stay in the capital during this period to help you treat the queen's illness, don't worry."
"Yeah, okay." Li Qing agreed with a smile.
With Master here, he is very steadfast. This feeling of having someone to protect me from the wind and rain is really good.
After a stick of incense, there was a knock on the door.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
After a while, Xiao Guizi and his party came in carrying a dragon chariot.
"It'll be good if Mr. Li wakes up." Xiao Guizi said with a flattering smile, "Sir, please quickly board the dragon chariot and go to the palace to diagnose and treat the empress."
"Yeah." Li Qing stepped onto the dragon chariot.
Xiao Guizi looked shocked and muttered: "Last night, I looked like I was dying. Does this mean it's nothing?"
"Can you carry the sedan and leave?"
"Ah, okay, okay..." Xiao Guizi cleared her throat, "Go back to the palace."
…
Palace entrance.
The four brothers, King Zhu Xi of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Di of Yan, and King Zhu Ju of Zhou, came to the entrance of the palace, exchanged a few words with each other and entered the palace together.
"Have you heard about Li Qing?"
There is a long way from the palace gate to Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Fan raised a topic.
"Yes." Zhu Di's face was full of admiration, "I heard that he was assassinated at night, and then he killed fifteen people on the other side, and none of them escaped. He was very powerful."
"Oh, so what if you're powerful? How many days can you survive being poisoned?" Zhu Xi said disdainfully.
Zhu Fan shook his head and said, "Second brother, your news is too late. Li Qing woke up last night and was summoned to the palace by his father."
"Lao San, do you have spies in the palace?"
"What a fool!" Zhu Fan's face turned green, "Boy, don't talk nonsense. I just heard that if this word reaches Father... I'll go, Father is here."
Zhu Xi originally wanted to make a few teasing remarks, but when he heard the last sentence, he quickly stood upright.
Immediately he found that there was nothing in front of him, and he couldn't help but became furious, "You dare to trick me, Third Brother?"
"Behind." Zhu Ru reminded, "Second brother, look at the back."
Zhu Fang glanced behind him, and when he saw his father's chariot approaching slowly, the arrogance that had just arisen immediately disappeared, and his face was filled with humility.
The four feudal princes lined up in a row and paid attention to the dragon chariot.
After a while, the dragon chariot approached. Seeing that the distance was almost the same, the four of them lifted up their robe sleeves and said respectfully:
"My son..."
"Ah... Your Majesty, please stop." Xiao Guizi was startled.
The sky was gray and he couldn't clearly see the feudal kings just now. When he found out, several of them had already begun to lift their robes.
Xiao Guizi was so anxious that she stuttered, "Kneel down, kneel down..."
Several feudal princes were speechless. Should they kneel or not?
Yes, just to be on the safe side, let’s kneel down.
