ten abandoned

(four)

The Shifu is located in Jin'an, Xizhou, and occupies a place of geomantic omen.With white walls and black tiles, it is elegant and simple, and like a net, it has housed half of the world's elite heroes.The disciples of Wu Zhonglun have the ability to walk sideways.Leader Shi did not dare to be negligent, and prepared a house in the mansion for Tang Nianqi, who was "carrying his family with him".

Mu Xiao is still counting banana leaves.

It's a sunny day, when there is no rain hitting the plantain, it's desolate and desolate, but the knot is entangled with itself, and it has nothing to do with the wind and rain.Mu Xiao was stunned for a long time, gritted his silver teeth again and again, grabbed the epee and jumped out.She was flying and jumping as if she had entered the land of no one, but she was stopped halfway outside the study.

"Nian Dumb," her face was bathed in Suhui, and it was cold, "You'd better come out to inquire about the news."

Tang Nianqi didn't seem to notice Mu Xiaohan's sharp thorns, and grabbed her into the shadow of a tree outside the courtyard.She knew Tang Nianqi's help was indispensable for a smooth journey, she was ashamed and annoyed that her skills were not as good as others, she said sullenly: "What are you doing!"

Tang Nianqi said solemnly: "I checked the situation before. There is no one serving in the lord's mansion, there is something strange about it, you must not act rashly."

Mu Xiao also sneered: "I'll just say that Old Ghost Shi has some shady secrets!"

Today, the Qin family is extinct, the Song family is decaying, and Shi Zhongxin built a mansion in Xizhou, and his intentions are clearly revealed. It is no wonder that Mu Xiao is still prejudiced.Tang Nianqi didn't want her to get into the horns, just wanted to say a few words of justice for President Shi, suddenly his expression changed, he hugged her and hid in the leaves.Mu Xiao also held back his breath and held his epee tightly.

There were thick clouds touching the moon, and the sound was cut off.The shadows of the Chuo Chuo tree weigh down the heart, as if every leaf harbors a ghost.

In the silence, I suddenly heard the knocking of bamboo sticks, and the bits and pieces can be counted. It has the smell of listening to the bronze chime in a Zen temple.The breeze blows again, the cloud curtain is startled, and the bluestone path is repeatedly icy.

In the middle of the moon, the guest stepped on the frost road. Although he was dressed as a pagoda, there was no incense scar on the top of his head, so he was inherently kind-hearted.

Tang Nianqi lowered his eyebrows in deep thought, while Mu Xiao raised his eyes to greet him.The monk also happened to stop in front of the tree.Holding a bamboo stick, he picked the dead leaves from the road to the side, and when he met Mu Xiaohuan's eyes, he recited a Buddhist gatha, then knocked on the stone road and walked into Shi Zhongxin's residence.

Mu Xiao also read seven steps first to realize his identity, and his whole body trembled.She stared resentfully at the closed courtyard, without waiting for Tang Nianqi's persuasion, she turned and went back home.

The monk walked into the Moon Gate with familiarity, and passed the long powder wall, and soon saw Shi Zhongxin standing with his hands behind his back.

Shi Zhongxin wanted to leave him alone for a few moments, he smiled without being annoyed, and took pleasure in the wind and waves, finding the right moment to neither embarrass himself nor damage the prestige of the lord, and said: "Laugh at the Buddha and congratulate the lord."

"Huh? Why do you like it?"

"Xi Chi's training palace is about to run out, Xi Mie Di Pu is at your fingertips, Xi Wu is insane and ignores worldly affairs."

Shi Zhongxin waved his sleeves and shouted: "Speak carefully!" He suppressed the hotness in his heart, and his appearance was serious, "Back then Lian Wan fled to the southern border, and Xiao Fengsheng also disappeared. Xiaoxiaofutu has been in business for many years, but has anyone found out who he is? Where are the two going?"

Lian Wan, who had a great reputation as a poison in the past and dominated Gu Dao, is the fierce rebel of the Moluo Sect and the chief villain of the Chilian Palace.Wu Zhongmao may be concerned about the friendship of the same family, and he has not killed them all, but he is the leader of the righteous way, and he will never let go of the chief culprit who tarnishes the martial arts!

With a smile, Futu responded with a calm expression: "The poor monk has not heard from Lian Wan, but Master Chi Lian does show signs of coming back. As for that Xiao Fengsheng..." He paused, "He is quite a wonderful person."

Shi Zhongxin asked: "What kind of magic method? You have sneaked into the Chilian Palace for several years, and you should have worked with him for some time, but you have never heard of his magic."

"He is indeed an extremely difficult person. Misfortune comes from the mouth, evil comes from the tongue, and a person who is speechless is born with no openings to find." Smiling, Futu fiddled with the rosary, "The trainer is trustworthy. For him, the two went in and out together, and there was little discord; the poor monk was exhausted and worried, and he was not able to pass him."

Shi Zhongxin said with a smile: "Hearing my little friend's words, there is a place for Xiao Fengsheng to go!"

Smiling, Futu's eyes flickered faintly: "Yes. But the poor monk has a merciless request——"

"Oh?"

"Such a wonderful person, deserves to enjoy the wonderful extinction." He pointed to the bead string and flew around, almost like black clouds destroying the city. The poor monk heard that the Seventeen Swords will arrive at Jin'an in a few days, and since Xiao Fengsheng is his defeated general, with his help, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Shi Zhongxin listened to his statement, and when he mentioned the Seventeen Swords, his eyes showed a little bit of displeasure, and he didn't say yes or no.

Laughing, Futu secretly laughed in his heart, he was less first-rate, and said: "It was his fault that the Seventeen Swords failed to kill the evil. He should, he should do what he should; no, he has no private interests, why should the leader worry about it?" ? There are poor monks taking care before and after, and the leader should rest easy."

Shi Zhongxin sighed and said: "If the remnants of Chilian are not eradicated for a day, the people of Xizhou will be worried every day; as for family affairs, if the family is weak and weak, and the child is seriously ill, how can Shi be able to sit back and relax!"

Laughing at Futu, he said: "Young Master Shi has a deep destiny, and he will surely turn bad luck into good luck. The poor monk had a relationship with Tao Sansi, the genius doctor when he traveled to southern Xinjiang under his name. This matter has now reached the territory of Xizhou."

Most of the stones accumulated in Shizhong's confidence immediately fell away!

He showed a bit of joy, stroked his long beard and said with emotion: "This time I have worked hard for you, and with Tao's temperament, it is difficult for me to invite him out of the mountain even if I visit the thatched cottage three times. If there is no disaster of Chi Lian, with your wise heart The quality of jade, merit must not be under seventeen knives. If a virtuous son is like this, even the father can smile nine springs."

The monk said, the rosary in his palm still didn't stop: "From the beginning to the end, the thoughts arise and die, lose their true nature, and act upside down. I used to be not me, but I have made a name for myself, and there are things outside my body. A bamboo stick, a cloak, Contemplating the phantom dust and listening to the Sanskrit sounds, one can obtain the mind of profound Zen. Wouldn’t it be pleasant to be free from the exhaustion of the dust?” (1)

"The poor man has a carefree heart, and it's hard to be a happy person. After the work here is over, the old man should take good care of his life." Shi Zhongxin sighed, and then said, "I hope everything will go well, and there will be no changes."

Yexiao Futu raised a finger, caught the spinning rosary beads, then closed his palms together, imprisoning eighteen scattered rosary beads.The dense fine sand seeped out between his fingers, he rubbed it a little, and said, "Auspicious words from the lord."

The next morning, when I got up in the dark, the misty clouds and mist covered Binyu all over the place.

Tao Sansi Fang presented the greeting card, and a servant would lead the way for him.When entering the flower hall, there were two servants leading the guests out of the mansion.The guest has a high nose and deep eyes, a wide robe and long sleeves, and he looks three-pointed drunk.The apprentice who was traveling with Tao Sansi stared at his feet for a while before stepping up to keep up.

Shi Zhongxin was nearly fifty years old, his temples were black and black, and he was full of energy.Madam should be in her forties, but she looks haggard and old because she doesn't frown.Seeing Tao Sansi for the first time, Madam couldn't help leaning forward, Shi Zhongxin lightly held her wrists and pressed them back to the table, patted the back of her hands twice comfortingly, and said to Tao Sansi: "I'm so attached to my son, I just fell in love for a while. It’s hard for me, I’m laughing at you.”

Tao Sansi put on an air of superiority: "What are your son's symptoms?"

Shi Zhongxin said earnestly: "Old year in February, a child suddenly suffered from typhoid fever. Although he recovered, his roots were damaged. Every time it rains, the Qi and blood are not smooth, and the pain is unbearable... I have searched for good doctors, but I can't do anything about it. I also hope that Miracle Doctor Tao... will diagnose and treat children."

Tao Sansi nodded: "Since you have promised others, you must try your best to be devout. But whether you can be cured or not, you have to check Mr. Ling's pulse to know." He turned his head and said humanely behind him, "I come to help my master."

Tang Xunzhang, who was pretending to be an apprentice, had to follow him to the wing.

The indoor windows are closed tightly, and you can hear needles falling.A stubborn disease is like a stubborn stone, and the huge shadow covers the whole house, making people tired.Mr. Shi was lying on the couch, covered tightly by several layers of brocade quilts.The maid squeezed the water-filled soup lady under the quilt and lifted a corner, the sick and weak young man shivered.

Tao Sansi rubbed his hands warmly into the quilt to feel his veins, and the uneasiness when he entered the door suddenly turned into a storm.

"Little Tang, you can do it the same way you did to old—cough, that guy last time."

Tao Sansi had a plaque of a genius doctor on top of his head, but his dantian became a hole in the skin during that trip to southern Xinjiang, and his internal strength was completely hopeless.Every time he couldn't do his best, the task fell to Tang Xunzhang and Nie Fang.Tang Xunzhang learned how to warm his hands, and pressed the acupoints on Shi Gongzi's right arm, and happened to catch a glimpse of a small piece of forehead exposed outside the quilt.When the inner strength hit the stagnant blood, the skin suddenly raised a diamond-shaped ear the size of a fingernail, with a bright red spot in the middle, twisting and turning like a dragon moving earth, and it was flat as before in an instant.

He had a heart attack.

Tao Sansi confirmed the conjecture, and he didn't bother, and asked the boy servant to take the medicine according to the prescription he prescribed, sent Tang Xunzhang away, and went to the study alone to discuss important matters with Shi Zhongxin.

Tang Xunzhang was restless and walked to the residence Shi Zhongxin had arranged for the guests. As soon as he opened the door, he was hit by the fat carrier pigeon raised by Tao Sansi.The pigeon's hair pricked his eyes, and tears immediately covered his eyes. He covered his eyes for a while and put down his hands, but his vision was still hazy, and the circles of his eyes were pitifully red.

A laugh scratched the tip of his ear like a feather, and then pierced his heart with all his might.

"So happy to see me? Crying like a little girl."

Brother Tang's upper and lower eyelashes were still glistening with tears, and the tiny water droplets froze in place like his people.The pigeon fled out of the window, but he didn't respond, his spirit seemed to follow the pigeon to the sky, and then brought back the joy and fell to reality.

"...Seventeen?" He smiled in surprise and suspicion, and said shyly, "Seventeen."

Nie Shiqi still put on that fake face, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest and occupied the entire Arhat couch.He propped his legs against the wall, with his head down, and the two Tang Xunzhangs turned upside down reflected in his smiling eyes: "Come here, let me see if I've lost weight in the past month."

Nie Fangren, as his name suggests, doesn't like restraints, so he wears loose clothes, and shows off his ankles carelessly.Tang Xunzhang grabbed those feet and grabbed them back to the couch, then pulled up his outer robe to cover his toes: "You mess around all day, aren't you afraid of pain?"

Nie Fang didn't take it seriously, and said that I didn't blame you for lying to the sky—and he happened to remember the calligraphy before he left, and his light "tsk" turned into a guilty cough.Tang Xunzhang thought that he had really caught the cold, and wanted to wrap him up and stuff him into the brocade quilt without saying a word.

Nie Fang looked funny, but also a little distressed.He looked at Xiao Tang, who was busy in his family, his Adam's apple rolled, and when he came close to him, he suddenly stretched his waist, and rubbed his wet lower eyelid.

Tang Xunzhang was stunned, only staring at Nie Fang.

Nie flicked off an eyelash that was attached to his fingertips, as if he had unloaded a load of luggage in his heart, relaxed and empty.

"Shut up for a while if you don't feel well." He said, and asked curiously, "How did you recognize me?"

"I won't tell you." Tell him everything and let him change it, so you won't be able to find him next time. "You tell me where you went first."

"Let's go to Zhangtai to eat flowers and wine. Girl Qiqi's piano skills and figure, that's really... hiss!"

He still has the face to mention!

Tang Xunzhang put up the momentum of being in charge, and wrapped Nie Fang into a rice dumpling.In order to prevent this careless bastard from leaving again, he rolled over on the couch to restrain the person, and tied a rope outside the brocade quilt in one go, and tied it in a tight knot.

Nie Fang was dumbfounded.

The culprit smiled coldly: "What is it?"

"It's really...too tight...You bastard, you want to strangle me to death!"

"Eat a pit and gain a wisdom, if I don't tighten up, you will run away."

"All right, all right, I won't run anymore...you go down first! What does it look like to be pressed like this!"

"What are you two arguing about—"

Tao Sansi entered the house with the pigeon in his arms, jumped back when he saw the situation clearly, closed the door behind him, and poked his head in after a while.The two on the couch were still inseparable when they got up and down, and they looked at each other calmly, and even looked disgusted when they looked closely.He couldn't help but patted his chest, completely forgetting about the pigeon that was thrown away: "I just said that Lao Nie is not that stupid... Cough cough, Xiao Tang, let him go, there is a business, he can't escape. "

Tang Xunzhang said logically: "He has a mouth."

Nie Fang sighed: "Don't make trouble, Shi Zhi, be good. I really won't run away."

Tang Xunzhang untied the rope, but still did not remove the quilt.As soon as Nie Fang freed his hands, he tore off the mask for camouflage, and peeled off the skin on the cheekbones and jaw pad. He was sweating a lot before. His face was originally light red, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a libertine. Seriously, it still looks like this: "They are all our own people, so let's 'close the door' and tell the truth, and tell us everything that needs to be revealed."

Tang Xunzhang understood that this was to remind him that everything except Tang Nianqi and Mu Xiaohuan had been fully explained.Tao Sansi sent a letter to Nie Fang earlier, and he didn't have much to say, so he detailed the illness of Young Master Shi's family.

Nie Fang heard that the youngest member of the Shi family had a similar encounter with him, and kept fiddling with the seventeen copper coins that he carried with him.Tao Sansi was quite disturbed, and said, "Old Nie, let me see, he looks quite similar to you."

Tang Xunzhang also looked over.

"Similarity is similarity, but it's not the same thing in the final analysis. Lao Tzu's flawed body is unparalleled in the world, and it is unique. Unless Lian Wan climbed back from the palace of the king of hell, no one will suffer the same crime. If this is the case, that kid from the Shi family Can it last until today? Just the bad kung fu of the Shi family—" Nie Fang finally remembered that he was still on the family's territory, and stopped in time, but his left face said he didn't like it, and his right face said he looked down on him. He knew nothing if he didn't want to good words.

Tao Sansi said solemnly: "You said Chi Lianzhu is dead, but it's hard to guarantee that he has an apprentice? Besides, there are evil schools in southern Xinjiang. Can you guarantee that this is 'too dead'?"

Nie Fang defeated Chi Lianzhu with seventeen moves and became famous all over the world.Later, Lian Wan fled far away, and he chased to the southern border, where by chance, he rescued Tao Sansi.In order to repay his kindness, the latter reluctantly became an occasional drinking and meat friend, so he knew a thing or two about this past, but not much about the details.

With Xiao Tang around, Nie Fang didn't want to go deeper, so he diverted and said, "I mean Chi Lianzhu is dead, and I didn't say that there can only be one Chi Lianzhu. It's you, the third child——I'm riding a tiger, and the world is going to die." Why did the Immortal Foreign Doctor come to wade into the muddy water?"

"I don't even know who the creditor is for the debt of favor I owed in the early years." Tao Sansi understood Nie Fang's meaning, shook his clothes and got up, "You and Xiao Tang chat first, I will go to see Young Master Shi. "

As soon as Tao Sansi left, the two of them were on the same arhat couch, and the weird atmosphere reunited again.

Tang Xunzhang spoke first: "How did you come here?"

His eyes seemed to be filled with water vapor, they were clear and soft, probably anticipating that Nie Fang would throw another lie to evade, and under the softness was covered with a little depression.

Nie Fang couldn't lie to these eyes, his conscience woke up from a deep sleep, which made him feel a dull pain.

"I want to laugh at Futu's life." He said bloody words, but the ending sound softened, "What's more important is that you are here."

The author has something to say:

Stupid as I am, I have always mistyped the name of Ye Xiao... The outline is that it becomes Ye Huan after I write it, but there is no one.
