Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 220 Tianwei Mingwu
In mid-August, the Sixth Prince and his party arrived in Yongzhou.Yongzhou is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Canglan River, and it is already a water town at this time.

It has been raining heavily for two months and it hasn't stopped yet.The Canglan River roared in front of us, and the sound was so deafening that it covered up all other sounds, and they couldn't even hear them talking face to face.

The river was so turbid that it was as wide as the sea, and it was impossible to see where the other side was.As for the houses, farmland, town market, etc. on both sides of the river, they were all submerged so that there were no shadows left.The muddy river water is full of broken trees and branches, as well as the corpses of various beasts and people.

The Sixth Prince and the others were all stunned by the tragedy in front of them. The capital city that had just left, full of people singing and dancing, seemed to have happened in a previous life, and everything in front of them was the truth of the world.

They didn't enter Yongzhou City, they went here directly.The Yongzhou officials who rushed over could not prevent the sixth prince from seeing this scene, and all of them smiled miserably.This time I lost my official position and my job was so small that I'm afraid I might lose my life.

When the sixth prince was furious and scolding the Yongzhou officials for the vegetarian meal, a figure flew out, causing everyone to exclaim.The figure turned around on the river, lifted something from the water, and flew back again.

"Liu Xian's family, what are you holding?" Zhao Xian went up to him and asked.

Liu Qinghuan put a boy who was hugging a tree trunk to the ground.

The young man was so cold that his lips were blue and his face was pale. Seeing that the people around him didn't react at all, he refused to let go of the tree trunk.After a while, he seemed to have just come to life, and immediately began to cry in grief, calling his parents continuously.

Everyone who saw it was moved, Zhao Xian hurriedly ordered his followers to bring blankets, wrapped the boy up and took him down so that he could settle down.

They went to discuss how to relieve the disaster and control the flood. Liu Qinghuan stood above the big river and stood still for a long time.

In the next few days, he often followed Zhao Xian and others to the river.Zhao Xian was busy getting people to repair the embankment, so he went to the river and stood still for most of the day.

Others felt strange, but did not dare to ask.

Half a month later, the heavy rain finally stopped. At the moment when the sun came out, everyone was cheering and shouting, showing the smiles of the survivors.

Liu Qinghuan raised his head, the golden sunlight fell on his face, and the flood was still raging under his feet.This flood has already killed tens of thousands of people, and the plague and famine after the flood will take more lives.

He felt sorry for the smallness of the soul.

Faced with such a terrifying natural disaster, even if he reached the foundation building, he was still like an ant, unable to stop the pouring rain, nor to make the roaring river obedient.

At this moment, Liu Qinghuan was full of thoughts.

Thinking of the past, he also walked out of such natural disasters, seeing all the life and death in the world along the way.

I think of the Penglai clawed turtle, which takes the good fortune of the world and transforms into an infinite body, shuttles through nothingness, and exists in eternity.

I thought of myself again.Ever since Ming Yangzi accepted him as a disciple, although he didn't like to listen to flattery, some intangible pride still sneaked into his heart like a demon; after arriving at the sixth prince's mansion, he felt a little bit elated because of the gazes of ordinary people looking up.

But in the face of this roaring river, everything was beaten back to its original shape.He has only taken two steps on the way of longevity, how ridiculous are those frivolous and emotional actions?
Liu Qinghuan faintly came to some understanding, as if her mood had been washed, the dust and ashes slowly dissipated and became clear.

Zhao Xian discussed with a group of officials for a long time, and finally decided on the epidemic prevention after the flood and the opening of warehouses to release grain.Exhausted, he was about to go back to the backyard to rest, when he saw Liu Qinghuan, who had been wandering outside for a long time, walking in step by step from the outside.

He was about to say hello, but he was stunned, he always felt that Liuxian's house was a little different today.

The demeanor around him seemed to be much lighter than before, and the invisible chill that made people dare not approach all the time seemed to dissipate, becoming a calmness that was neither sad nor happy, neither anxious nor impatient.

……

In the next two months, Zhao Xian was so busy that his heels never touched the ground, Liu Qinghuan would only follow him when he went out, and meditate in his room on weekdays.

He is not practicing, but silently recites the "Zuo Wang Longevity Sutra" over and over again.

"The man who is determined is the extreme of the vulgar, the first foundation of the Tao, the success of the practice of tranquility, and the end of the peace. The shape is like a withered tree, the heart is like dead ashes, there is no feeling and no desire, and it is peaceful. No mind in steadiness but no uncertainty. ..."

Unknowingly, the gap in his state of mind slowly healed, and the inner demons that had just emerged disappeared in smoke.Although his cultivation base has not advanced, but the way ahead is clear. He only needs to accumulate enough spiritual energy to successfully enter the late stage of foundation establishment.

In November, the flood finally passed.Under Zhao Xian's strategizing, although the post-disaster and other matters were not perfect, they were still in order.

When he was about to return to the capital, Zhao Xian finally relaxed completely, and was interested in drinking and having fun with his two newly-accepted beauties.But he was very cautious, and never ran outside, so Liu Qinghuan was relieved.

However, it is difficult to guard against backstabbing. Sometimes even if you are cautious, you will be taken advantage of.

On this day, Liu Qinghuan was meditating, when there was a sudden commotion in front of him.With a sweep of consciousness, his face changed, and his figure disappeared into the room in an instant!
"Quiet!" Liu Qinghuan shouted.

The shouts and cries in Zhao Xian's room were chaotic, and under Liu Qinghuan's loud shout, everyone seemed to be strangled by the neck, and his legs trembled.

With this sound, he faintly released a trace of coercion, and immediately quieted everyone down.

When Liu Qinghuan came to the bed, she saw Zhao Xian lying unconscious on the bed, his face was dark green, obviously poisoned.

He quickly took out a detoxification pill and stuffed it into Zhao Xian's mouth, but found that the green layer didn't show any signs of melting away.

The detoxification pill is a elixir refined from spiritual grass, but it can't cure the poison on a mortal?
Liu Qinghuan's heart sank, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into his body, only to see that his internal organs and six abdomen had been stained with a thick layer of green, and his vitality was rapidly dying off!
Liu Qinghuan didn't dare to hesitate, her spiritual power penetrated into his body, she pulled one of his hands and pierced his fingertips.Under the compulsion of spiritual power, I saw dark green venom dripping from Zhao Xian's fingertips, and when it dripped to the ground, there was a "sizzling" sound, and a puff of foul-smelling smoke came out.

However, after a few drops of venom, it couldn't be forced out anymore!

Liu Qinghuan's face darkened instantly.What kind of poison is this, even with his mana in the Foundation Establishment period, he can't force it out!Do you want to watch Zhao Xian die?
When he was at a loss, the spirit beast bag around his waist shook, and the green wood demon monkey yelled in Liu Qinghuan's mind: "It smells so good! Master, let me out. It smells so poisonous!"

As soon as Liu Qinghuan slapped it, the Aoki Monster Monkey appeared in front of everyone immediately. Its incomparably strong body was as tall as two people, with a ferocious face and a domineering aura, which immediately caused the other people in the room to scream.

"Zhao Shicheng!" Liu Qinghuan shouted: "Get everyone out! Interrogate those who should be questioned, and punish those who should be tortured. Xiao Hei, get me smaller immediately!"

"Master, I'm the Great King!" The Aoki Demon Monkey shouted dissatisfiedly, and quickly shrunk in size, becoming half as tall as a human.

It rushed to the bed, staring at the wound on Zhao Xian's finger with a pair of monkey eyes shining like a thief: "Master, can I eat?"

Liu Qinghuan was puzzled: "How do you want to eat it? This person can't eat it!"

"What's delicious about a person, I mean the poison in his body."

The Qingmu Monster Monkey grabbed that hand and stuffed its fingers into the sharp teeth of its mouth.The person who hadn't finished retreating screamed again, if Liu Qinghuan hadn't made a sharp eye, the other party would have rushed over and snatched Zhao Xian's hand from its mouth.

But I saw the Aoki Monster Monkey taking a sip!A fine stream of venom was sucked out from Zhao Xian's finger by the green wood demon monkey.

That ugly monkey face immediately showed the expression of people enjoying the ultimate food, smacking their lips while eating.At the same time, the green color on Zhao Xian's face was fading rapidly.

Liu Qinghuan nodded in satisfaction.It's not in vain that he has raised this guy for more than ten years, and he finally has some use for it.

But not long after, I saw the Qingmu Monster Monkey sipping harder and harder, but the venom seemed to have taken root in Zhao Xian's body, and could no longer be sucked out.

The Qingmu demon monkey showed annoyed expression, yelling: "What kind of poison is this? Why does it look like it has a hook, I'm so mad!"
