Zongwu: Our Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 144
"The medicine is almost finished, why didn't you tell me earlier."

"I…"

Cheng Lingsu opened his mouth, but finally remained silent and lowered his head.

Long Peng sighed slightly, "Let's go back to the Valley of the Medicine King, nourished by the elixir in the valley, you will be fine."

Cheng Lingsu raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and asked, "Didn't you make an appointment with Mr. Yan to go to Huashan together?"

"Let Yan Shisan go by himself, he's such a big man, he doesn't need anyone to accompany him."

"Didn't you say that Medicine King Valley is not safe?"

Cheng Lingsu pursed her lips, and said slowly, "Also... I don't want to trouble you."

Long Peng was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help feeling guilty in his heart. If it wasn't for him, Cheng Lingsu wouldn't have a home and couldn't go back.

"Lingsu, I should be the one who caused you trouble..."

Cheng Lingsu smiled softly, and said softly, "Actually, the "Shenzhaojing" is still very effective. I don't take medicine much these days, so you don't have to worry."

Looking at her bright eyes, Long Peng said slowly, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Naturally it's the truth, why did I lie to you?"

"Then why are you smiling so reluctantly, why don't you dare look into my eyes."

"I……"

Cheng Lingsu's eyes trembled, and he fell silent.

"We're leaving now. Wudang is a bit far away from the Valley of the Medicine King, and it will take half a month to get there day and night. Don't delay."

"No need."

heard.

Long Peng froze for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"But those enemies who are worried about me, don't worry, I will take care of things."

"Dragon Peng."

Cheng Lingsu stood up from the bed and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang told me earlier that he can help me take care of my body, but I can't leave Wudang Mountain."

"This…"

Long Peng was quite surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he was pleasantly surprised and said with a smile, "Lingsu, Zhang Zhenren's pure yang kung fu is pure and perfect. If he takes the initiative, you will be safe and sound."

"I know, but..."

"What is it?" Long Peng asked eagerly.

"But……"

Cheng Lingsu raised his head slowly, with lingering eyes, and said shyly, "But I don't want to be separated from you, I can't bear you."

Long Peng froze suddenly, looked at her sincere eyes, couldn't speak for a moment, sighed faintly, and said gently, "Now we are allotted for better encounters in the future, Lingsu, you cultivate yourself on the mountain, When I come to pick you up, maybe you and I have already recovered?"

"Then when will you pick me up?"

"When I bring Yan Shisan to Mount Hua, I will come back immediately after going to Mount Zhongnan, and it will be the end of next spring at the latest."

Cheng Lingsu was a little disappointed, "Then I won't see you for four or five months..."

"We will meet again." Long Peng smiled with a gentle expression on his face.

"Then I'll wait for you, don't miss the appointment."

Cheng Lingsu tilted his head, eyes curved like a moon, and stretched out his little finger, "I still remember you made me a wish before."

Seeing this situation.

Long Peng looked dazed, and stretched out his hand to hook her little finger, Cheng Lingsu immediately hooked it tightly, his thumb was connected to him, and said with a smile, "Hanging on the hook, one hundred must not change."

"Okay, don't change..."

……

Long Peng accompanied Cheng Lingsu on Wudang Mountain for several days.

Of course.

Getting together and parting is a normal part of life, after all, he left this green mountain with Yan Shisan on a north wind howling afternoon.

In the galloping carriage, Long Peng caressed the sandalwood hairpin in his hand blankly, his eyes fluttering.

Before leaving.

Standing in the fallen leaves in the winter wind, Cheng Lingsu smiled and put the sandalwood hairpin in Long Peng's hand.

"You gave me your hairpin, and now I give it back to you."

Holding the wooden hairpin tightly, Long Peng said with a smile, "I won't miss the appointment, wait for me to come back."

She shook her head and said with a gentle smile, "I want you to have a safe trip and take care of yourself."

……

"Hey!"

Yan Shisan patted Long Peng's thigh and made a "pa——" sound, obviously losing his strength, and immediately brought him back to reality.

"Yan Shisan, what are you doing?"

"What? I want to ask what you want to do?"

Yan Shisan smiled, stretched out his arms, leaned casually on the carriage, and crossed his legs, "You've been staring at this for a long time, haven't you seen enough? If you really can't bear it, you can't leave now." far, hurry back."

"I'm telling you, with your current sick body, even if you accompany me to Huashan, it's useless."

"If there is a fight, maybe I will come to rescue you."

"It's unnecessary to talk nonsense with you alone."

Without squinting, Long Peng wrapped the sandalwood hairpin and put it in his bosom, then took out a pill with a green outer ring and a little white in the middle from the green pouch Cheng Lingsu gave him, and then closed his eyes and concentrated on it, practicing Chemical power.

This medicine is the "Lianxin Pill" made by Cheng Lingsu after many times of adjustments, combined with Xue's previous medication ideas, and using the world's number one poisonous flower "Seven Heart Begonia" as a medicine.

This medicine, one pill a day, has the effect of suppressing toxins and nourishing the body. Its effect is mild and long-lasting, just like a lotus flower that emerges from the mud without being stained.

After Long Peng took it, he could use up nearly [-]% of his internal energy on weekdays.

According to what Cheng Lingsu said.

If Long Peng takes the medicine persistently, more and more internal energy can be mobilized, and within a year, the poison in the body will shrink to a little bit, and then she will have a way to force the poison out of the body.

Yan Shisan looked at Long Peng boredly, and soon felt a lack of interest, shook his head, closed his eyes, and practiced quietly.

All the way west.

Almost a month passed in a flash, and it was the twelfth lunar month.

There are dots of snowflakes floating in the sky, and the sky and the earth are gradually stained with pure white.

"Chuxue..."

Long Peng was wearing a big cloak, standing at the window, looking at the snowflakes falling all over the sky, the snowflakes on his fingertips did not melt for a long time, a little coolness seemed to flow into his heart.

"You are leisurely and elegant..."

"Yan Shisan, what are you doing in my room instead of practicing sword today?"

Yan Shisan stood with his sword in his arms, and said with a light smile, "I vaguely remember that you mentioned a senior sister named Li Mochou earlier, I was outside just now, I seem to have seen it, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Sister?"

Long Peng frowned slightly, a little surprised, and murmured, "She is not staying in the south of the Yangtze River, what is she going to the north to do, maybe she is still thinking about the "Jade Heart Sutra"..."

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard."

Long Peng came back to his senses, and shouted towards the door, "Tie Niu, you go and let Ah Lang come."

"Yes!"

After a while, a young man with a knife with a scar on his face and a firm look in his eyes came in with the sound of "squeak--".

"This subordinate pays homage to Your Majesty, what orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Has there been any abnormalities in Zhongnan Mountain recently?"

A Lang expressionless, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Mr. Zhongnan, there is no abnormality found in the hidden pillars of the divine religion near Zhongnan Mountain, except..."

"Um……"

Long Peng's eyes turned cold, and he stared at him condescendingly, "Except for what, didn't I say before that if there is any abnormality in Zhongnan Mountain, you will report to me?"

A Lang's heart tightened, and he half-knelt down, "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please forgive me."

Long Peng suppressed his anger and said word by word, "Tell me, what happened to Zhongnan Mountain?"

"During the mid-autumn festival in August, a secret message was sent saying that there were disciples of the Vulture Palace near Zhongnan Mountain. At that time, you...you stayed behind closed doors and didn't see anyone. The subordinates didn't come to report it urgently, and then forgot about it. "

"For the sake of your loyalty, please spare your life..."

"Vulture Palace... Miracle Doctor Xue... Tianshan..."

Long Peng's eyes were full of thoughts, and Ah Lang who was kneeling in front of him did not dare to move, as if he buried his head in the ground.

"That's all, nothing else?"

"The rest of the subordinates have already reported to Da Keqing, and they dare not hide anything."

"Only this time, if you do it again, you won't have to appear in front of me again."

With cold eyes, Long Peng waved his hands, "Go away."

"Yes!"

A Lang breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't even dare to wipe the cold sweat off his head, and hurriedly left the room.

"Yo, Long Da Keqing is quite capable of scaring people..."

Yan Shisan, who had watched the play for a long time, grinned and teased.

Long Peng rolled his eyes, he didn't have the heart to chat with Yan Shisan right now, he walked out of the room, stood in the corridor and looked around, looking for the Fairy Chilian.

"Don't look, it's in the Tianzi No. [-] wing opposite."

Yan Shisan followed up, swept the tail of the scabbard at the back of the dragon, pointed to the opposite side, "It seems that you haven't done much work recently, not only your martial arts are rusty, but your perception has also deteriorated."

Long Peng ignored him, walked quickly to the opposite room, reached out and knocked on the door.

"who?"

Long Peng cleared his throat and said, "Guest officer, your meal is ready."

Yan Shisan watched from the side, held back a smirk, and said, "It won't be a problem for you to be an inn waiter in the future."

A suspicious voice came from the room.

"Food? I didn't order it? Did you order it, Master?"

Accompanied by the footsteps of "pata-pata-", a slender figure slowly approached.

At this time.

Another cold shout came from the room, "Ling Bo, don't open the door!"

It's a pity, after all, it was a step too late, Long Peng raised his hand to press the door frame, pushed it lightly, and stepped into the wing.

There were two Kun Dao standing in the room, one big and one small.

The older one was tall and slender, wearing a slim purple robe, with a delicate appearance, with two lingering evil spirits between his brows and eyes, he looked like no stranger, absolutely glamorous.

The young one is slim and tall, wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, with a fair complexion, flushed cheeks, and watery eyes. He is holding a long sword across his chest, drawing a three-inch cold light, and has a vigilant look on his face.

"who are you?"

"Ling Bo, you won't recognize me as my uncle so soon?"

Hong Lingbo was taken aback for a moment, but when he saw Long Peng take off his mask to reveal that handsome face, he immediately reacted and beamed with joy.

Hearing the sound of "Ka——", the long sword returned to its sheath, Hong Lingbo turned his head, pointed at the dragon pendant, and said with a smile, "Master, look quickly, it's the little uncle!"

"I saw it for the teacher!"

Li Mochou snorted coldly, raised her eyes to look at Long Peng for a while, frowned slightly, and thought in her heart, "It's not that this kid has a strange poison in his body, he will die soon, why is his face still so rosy, and there is nothing unusual about it Come……"

"Senior sister, what are you thinking?"

Long Peng waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked with a smile.

"Ahem... nothing..."

Li Mochou coughed twice, turned her eyebrows, sat down slowly, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Long Peng, she smiled softly, the coldness between her eyebrows melted away, like a peach blossom just blooming.

"Junior brother, have a cup of tea to warm up your body."

"Thank you, sister."

Long Peng smiled and nodded, took a sip of tea, "Senior Sister, you still look good when you smile, and you should smile more in the future. You always have a cold face, and you will grow old quickly if you get sullen."

Li Mochou's smile froze slightly, but recovered in an instant, and said softly, "What the younger brother said makes sense, senior sister wrote it down..."

"That Ling Bo, you go out, I have something to talk to your little uncle."

Hong Lingbo was stunned for a moment, with reluctance written all over his face, but as soon as he met Li Mochou's eyes, he faltered.

"The apprentice knows..."

Hong Lingbo cupped his hands perfunctorily, just as he walked out of the room, when he was about to close the door, he saw a tall man in black with an evil face and a frightening aura. He was startled immediately, and I stepped back several steps.

"You... you are a human or a ghost!!"

Yan Shisan asked coldly, "It's broad daylight, what door did you close?"

"I……"

Hong Lingbo puffed out his chest and raised his aura just now, but after a few steps closer to Yan Shisan, he immediately shrank again.

"Hero, you must know my little uncle, right? He's in there reminiscing about old times with my master."

Yan Shisan ignored it, and shouted expressionlessly, "Long Peng, I don't have time to wait here for you."

"Okay, go practice your sword, and save yourself from saying that I wasted your time every day."

Hearing his voice, Yan Shisan nodded, lifted his foot to leave, and glanced at Hong Lingbo before leaving. He was so frightened that he almost flew out of his heart, covered in cold sweat.

"Who is this person, with such a murderous intent..."

……

In the wing.

The two of you talked to each other with smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Let's have a cup of tea. I heard that the tea in this store is the pre-rain tea specially shipped from the south. It is rich in aroma and has a sweet aftertaste. You should like it."

When Li Mochou smiled, her eyes were like crescent moons, and her lips were like Danxia, ​​especially alluring, like a red rose in a flame. She poured some hot tea and pushed it in front of Long Peng.

"Senior sister, you know me."

"That's natural. You are my junior brother, so it's natural for my senior sister to love you."

"Ha ha……"

With a gentle expression, Long Peng smiled twice, just as he handed the teacup to his lips, his eyes trembled slightly, he put down the teacup, and looked into her big moist eyes.

"I remember when I was young, my senior sister loved me the most."

Li Mochou froze for a moment, turned her cheeks, and looked at Dongxue outside.

"Little brother, don't be stunned. The tea is getting cold. If it is cold, it will be bitter. Aren't you the least fond of bitter things?"

"It is true that I liked sweets when I was young, but now that I am getting older, I feel that the bitter taste, if you taste it carefully, it has a different taste."

"Senior sister, what do you think?"

"Little brother is right, but the tea is cold, it really doesn't taste good."

"Perhaps, some people like cold tea, after all, it's hard to agree..."

Looking at the hot cup of tea on the table, Long Peng drank it with a blank expression.

"This tea, it tastes good after all the hardships. Thank you, Senior Sister."
