The young Taoist suddenly realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and quickly changed the subject: "The young leaves of the green water pond dragon scale tamarisk, oh, they are called Sanchunliu here. The leaves were picked at the wrong time, seven or eight days late. And this bag
Dragon Feicao, commonly known as Girl's Waist, was too sloppy when grinding the powder, and there are also these piles of paper flowers, and Yang's shop is even more outrageous. We agreed on three taels, but why is there a penny missing?"
The young Taoist poured the beans into the bamboo tube and picked out a lot of faults, almost none of which he was satisfied with. It felt like he had some personal grudge with the Yang Family Drug Store. Finally, he made a big turn and concluded: "The shop owner of this store."
My conscience is eaten by dogs, but the decoction of these medicinal materials on the table is enough to save lives. Of course, this is mainly due to the good health of this Ning Yao girl, and she has at least half a copper coin relationship with the Yang family shop."
The young Taoist slapped his head, spread out a piece of plain white paper, and while writing, he warned: "I almost forgot, I am going to write you another recipe for decoction. This is a real and meticulous job.
Chen Ping'an, you can't be careless. Pindao's prescription can not only heal the wounds, but also strengthen the foundation. It is the best way for military strategists to maintain an invincible position and support war through war. What's more, it is good in temperament.
It is warm and does not hurt people. At most, it will take more time and time. Buying more medicinal materials is nothing more than a matter of spending money. When to fry quickly with strong fire and when to fry slowly with slow fire, Pindao has written it down in detail on the paper, and even what
There is also something to be said for decoction at the right time. In short, in the next ten days, Chen Ping'an, thank you for your hard work. Men are the ones who bear the burden. Otherwise, how could there be such an upright man? You must not shirk your responsibility and call other girls petty in vain.
Take a look..."
When he mentioned the four words "standing upright with heaven and earth", the young Taoist shook his head imperceptibly.
A prescription is only half a piece of paper, but the method of decoction uses two pieces of paper. The font is in ordinary small letters, square and regular.
Chen Ping'an was a little anxious and asked: "Will the Taoist Priest stop caring about things from now on? Isn't it safer for the Taoist Priest to keep an eye on such a life and death matter personally?"
The young Taoist said helplessly: "Pindao is leaving the town now. There is a sect of Pindao's lineage in Nanjian Kingdom. There is a ceremony to be held, and Pindao wants to see it with his own eyes."
Chen Ping'an was even more helpless, "Taoist Priest, but I can't read!"
The young Taoist was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Miss Ning can read. Before you cook the medicine, just ask her more about the relevant matters."
The girl nodded.
Chen Ping'an still wanted to speak, but the young Taoist suddenly remembered something and took out a small and exquisite sapphire seal from his sleeve. He breathed lightly at the seal, then pressed it hard against the paper on which the prescription was written.
After lifting the seal from the paper, he was quite satisfied. After putting it into his sleeve, the young Taoist handed it to Chen Ping'an along with the other two pieces of paper, "Keep it well. Most of the books in the small town are private collections. It is not easy for you to buy them. If you really want to
To learn calligraphy, you can start with Pindao's prescription."
The young Taoist smiled at the girl and said: "If a leaf of duckweed returns to the sea, we will meet again in life. Miss Ning, will we meet again in the future?"
The girl in black said sternly: "Taoist Master Lu, see you soon! I won't thank you for your kindness. If you need help in the future, you can fly your sword to pass the letter to Daoxuan Mountain. But Taoist Priest remember, don't forget to sign the word 'Lu Chen', otherwise
The Hanging Mountain may not allow flying swords to enter the mountain gate."
After hearing the name of Daoxuan Mountain, the young Taoist was obviously a little surprised and hesitated to speak. The girl shook her head slightly. He quickly understood what he meant and stopped asking further. There were some things that, for the young man in the room, it was better not to know.
The young Taoist took the lead to leave the room, not forgetting to hold the young man's arm, "Chen Pingan, I want to say something to you at the end."
Chen Pingan first put the package on the bed and told the girl in black that it was newly bought clothes.
After the two of them came to the courtyard, the young Taoist asked directly in a low voice: "Based on your memory, you must have already recognized the words on the first prescription. In addition, there is a scholar living next door who uses the term 'illiterate'
, is not the real reason why you stopped Pindao from leaving."
Chen Ping'an replied: "With Taoist priest's ability, I must know the reason."
The young Taoist laughed dumbly, "Do you think you are bound to die, so you are afraid that no one will take care of that little girl?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Since I opened the door at that time, I must be responsible to the end."
The young Taoist stood next to the cart, put his fingers together, and with a quiet touch, the white-sheathed long sword that had been inserted into the two-word sword spirit by the Confucian scholar Qi Jingchun flew quietly into the room. It must be that the girl in black did not want to scare Chen Pingan, so she
He acquiesced to the arrogance of this flying sword. The young Taoist thought for a moment. When he was thinking about the problem, he would subconsciously stretch out a finger, tap the lotus crown above his head, and finally said: "Before coming here, I heard a senior brother say
However, you have to be reasonable when doing things, and be kind to others... In this case, Pindao shouldn't be too rigid and harsh. Although everyone in the world has their own fate, since the fundamental teachings of Pindao's sect are inherently related to
Generally speaking, the laws of Taoist sects are somewhat deviated... The meeting is already a fate, and it can still be regarded as a good relationship. I might as well take advantage of the situation. I can't give you the lotus tube and the 108 lots. The cause and effect are too confusing.
I can't figure it out and keep cutting it off, it's very troublesome. As for the private seal, it's a bit heavy, so I'll give it to you. Once the town is free of restrictions, everything will be exposed to the broad daylight. If you are not a poor person, it will harm you. Alas.
, is it possible to give some gold, silver and copper coins? This is too unrefined, too tacky, what a shame for me..."
Unexpectedly, Chen Pingan said categorically: "Director Lu, when you give money, you must be very particular and not tacky!"
The young Taoist said with a playful smile: "You didn't understand the two things before, but you must know that they are of great significance. Why don't you ask for them?"
The young man said slowly: "A white bowl that can hold at least a large tank of water, a Taoist priest who can burn talismans to give to the elders in the underworld, a seriously injured girl, a strange girl, and a bag of twenty-eight pieces of gold."
Old man Yao used to say that our place is strange, but now I have seen it with my own eyes. If I had met those two foreign men and women before, I would have avoided all of you, and the door would not have been opened today.
"
The young Taoist leaned on the cart and said in a deep voice: "That foreign woman tapped your forehead with her finger. This is a dirty trick of forcibly opening a person's orifice. It is called 'pointing' in martial arts."
, the techniques are different, and the intentions are also good and bad. For example, the door to your courtyard is not strong, right? So she deliberately banged it with a hammer. Of course, the door can be entered, but the foundation is actually damaged. Just imagine.
, in the windy, rainy, frosty and snowy weather in the future, the person who opens the door will have oiled the soles of his feet, but what should you, the owner who lives in the courtyard all year round, do?"
Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, "I can still endure hardship."
Looking at the straw-shoe boy who didn't look like he was telling a joke, the young Taoist smiled angrily: "This is the first time she has tried to harm you. If your muscles and bones are strong and your qi and blood are strong, it will not be difficult for you to live to your thirties or forties. After that, she will
Slapping your heart with the palm of my hand is the real fatal wound. Not only does it destroy your body, it also cuts off your path to immortality... To be precise, you have a slim chance to use this world.
It may not be impossible for you to continue to practice on the great path when your fortune is overturned and the world is reversed. It is like a torrent rolling down the river. There are countless dragons, fish and shrimps in the river. Those who are lucky will certainly gain a lot, but even those who are unlucky will not be able to benefit others.
If you fish up the dragon snake turtle, he might be able to catch some small fish or shrimp."
Chen Ping'an didn't look shocked or panicked. He stood there quietly, without even the slightest sign of pretending to be calm.
The young Taoist neither appreciated nor belittled him. He sighed softly: "Chen Ping'an, at such a young age, it is not a good thing to be indifferent to life and death. Do you think it is best to live? But if there is really nothing you can do, God is really
If you don't let yourself live, you won't be afraid of dying, right? Because death, for you, is actually an opportunity for a hopeful reunion?"
Chen Pingan did not deny it.
The young Taoist suddenly cursed: "Then have you ever thought about how your parents will feel when they see you, even if you are lucky enough to meet them in the vast underworld?"
The young Taoist became more and more angry as he spoke. He stretched out a finger and poked the young man's head vigorously, as if he wanted to poke the elm tree's head open.
White hat, whenever he comes to the world to detain the soul of the dead, the dead person can clearly see the four big words written on the white hat, 'You are here too'! Chen Pingan! Let me ask you, did your parents see it?
When you are here, will you happily ask Chen Ping'an, "Son, are you here too?" Can they still be reincarnated with peace of mind? Do you really think there are many people in the world who have the energy to achieve such great blessings that they can
Are we going to be children or husband and wife in all our lives? Pindao tells you clearly, don’t even think about it! Even those masters of the Shangzong who can change the color of mountains and rivers with just one word do not have such extraordinary abilities, let alone you, Chen Ping’an.
A pauper who doesn’t even have food?!”
At the end of the sentence, the young Taoist spoke sternly and extremely seriously.
The young man was at a loss.
This was the first time in his life that the boy felt so scared and his hands and feet were cold after he became wise.
The young man squatted down and held his head in his hands. This time he did not scratch his head.
The young Taoist looked down at the thin figure, "That's all. In order to save people, Pindao owes you a favor. I thought it would be best if I could refuse the debt, otherwise I would leave the rest in the next life. But now it seems that everything is still a waste."
Pay it back to you, and everything will be settled in the future. Pindao told you three things, remember them one by one. The first thing is to wait for Miss Ning to get better and take her to the south side of the town by the stream to find a couple.
The father and daughter named Ruan, please remember that you are taking her with you, otherwise it will be useless for you to go a hundred times by yourself. After you go, even if you are shameless and wallowing, you have to strive to be their apprentice, digging wells and moving rocks.
Okay, you can forge swords and forge iron, but after all you have found a shady place to stay. In this way, Miss Ning has repaid your favor, and you don’t think you are taking advantage of others."
"The second thing is that after the fifth day of May, you have to go to the creek under the covered bridge frequently. Whether it's picking up stones or catching fish and shrimps, it's up to you. In short, go there often. Go there when you're upset.
When you sense it, go even more. As for the harvest, God knows with your little chance, but at least hard work can make up for weakness. If you still get nothing, just accept your fate."
After the young Taoist said the two things, he started to push the cart. When he saw that the boy was still squatting still, but facing him, he said, "Get up and help!"
After the young man got up, he went to help push the cart and asked curiously: "Didn't we agree on three things?"
The young Taoist snorted coldly, "I told you a long time ago that I want to go!"
The young man was stunned.
Then the Taoist gave some more instructions.
"Those copper coins are very precious, keep them well."
"For the next period of time, don't go out much."
"Smile more. You always have a long face and you are not handsome. Who are you showing off to?"
Ramble.
The young Taoist seems to be an elder.
After getting the car out of the yard, the young man said that he would come out of the Mud Bottle Alley, and the young Taoist did not refuse.
Walking one after another in the alley, the Taoist finally said: "I have something to say, let's say it. According to Pindao's calculation of fate, it is not your fault that your parents died young."
The young Taoist paused for a long time, until the cart was about to leave Mud Bottle Alley, and then he said softly: "Not only that, your life has been bumpy, and you are still affected by your parents."
The young man remained silent.
In the end, the young Taoist insisted on not letting the boy see him off, and pushed the cart far away to the east gate alone.
Looking back, the young man was still standing at the entrance of the alley, waving vigorously to himself with a bright smile.
