I come to see Bai Yujing today
Chapter 86: There are not many people with conscience and morality in Xuantianjing, and you are one
Chapter 86: There are not many people with conscience and morality in Xuantianjing, and you are one of them
Chu Xiubai finally left.
Even though he was furious, he really wanted to pick up a whip and beat Chen Zhian's mouth when he heard his words which seemed to harbor evil intentions.
But this is the imperial city after all, and it is Princess Shang Qiu’s residence after all.
In addition, after he wrote the poem and the poem in Yinhe Tower, Chen Zhian was no longer an ordinary painter who could be manipulated by others.
Chu Xiubai came from a noble family and knew what it meant to have a good poem that would be passed down in history.
This means that Chen Zhian has already caught the attention of many nobles. Before this storm has cooled down, I don’t know how many people are paying attention to Chen Zhian.
Being too reckless is actually not a good thing.
In addition, the worshipper who came with him was already injured. He felt severe pain in his chest, and even blood oozed out from time to time.
Even if one wants to punish Chen Zhian, it may not be possible to do it quietly and it may disturb other people in the imperial city.
What's more, just next door lives a person who should never be provoked even if he is from the Chu family of Nanhai.
Old Sword Mountain.
Fourth in the world.
The old sword master of Jianshan has not drawn his sword for many years.
His name was not on the Fortune List, but no one doubted the true strength of this man who had become a fortune by riding a whale many years ago.
With the help of Sword Master and Sword Second, Lao Jianshan made the Xuanmen sect of only four people jump to the fourth place in the world, which shows how extraordinary he is.
Because of this, Chu Xiubai looked at Chen Zhian deeply in silence, then left with the priest who seemed to be seriously injured.
Yu Li Ke was not destined to die.
After Chen Zhian and the other two left, a quarter of an hour passed before he stood up, jumped up, and went to Li Xushi's yard.
Li Xushi's courtyard is much larger than Chen Zhian's small courtyard. The landscaping is more leisurely and elegant, and also has some human touch.
Just as Chu Xiubai said, the third master of the Si family originally lived in this courtyard.
Just because Li Xushi came, in order to show the Si family's importance, even the third master of the Si family had to give up this yard.
The courtyard was empty.
When Chen Zhian arrived at the main house, he saw Li Xushi guarding a young man. There was still true energy flowing in his body, and a sword light was faintly visible between his eyebrows, shining brightly on Yu Like.
The young man had his eyes closed and his clothes were stained with blood.
Half of his face was covered by an exquisite bronze mask. The patterns on the mask were simple and mysterious, emitting a faint moonlight.
As for the other half of his face that was not covered, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples. At this moment, he had his eyes closed, and a complex tattoo spread down from his forehead.
The tattoo pattern was like a series of mysterious runes, shining with a unique light under the sunlight.
Half of the face is covered by a mask.
Half of his face is covered with tattoos.
But even so, Chen Zhian could still see the childishness between Yu Like's brows, and he looked no more than twenty-one or twenty-two years old.
Li Xushi was a little worried: "Brother, your friend is seriously injured. I'm afraid my true energy alone won't be able to sustain him for long."
Chen Zhian frowned and said, "What else do you need?"
Li Xushi stood up, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and started writing.
“He must take healing pills, which can not only heal his body, but also eliminate the true energy that has invaded his body, so as to keep him alive.
Otherwise, after today, he will surely die."
As Li Xushi was speaking, his writing suddenly stopped and he frowned and looked at the sky.
It was already late at night, and everything was quiet. Even the moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, and the courtyard was already dark.
“It’s already late at night, but I don’t know if there is any pharmacy open.
Moreover, the medicinal materials needed for these two prescriptions are quite precious. Even though this is Xuan Tianjin, I don’t know if ordinary medicine shops have them.”
"At least, my senior brother had asked around in every city under Old Sword Mountain, but he couldn't find so many herbs."
Chen Zhian lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Just keep writing, I'll look for it, I should be able to find it."
Li Xushi nodded and carefully wrote down the required medicinal materials on the paper.
Chen Zhian looked at Yu Like on the bed and thanked Li Xushi: "I am sorry to bother you and borrow your name, Old Jianshan."
Li Xushi smiled, shook his head and said, "My second senior brother said that the names of Lao Jianshan and my master are used to scare people.
It is said that since the master has not used the sword for a long time, his authority in the martial arts world is becoming less and less.
If you don’t use it anymore, it will be useless after a few years.”
"Brother, you don't have to be polite. You invited me to dinner and I saved someone for you. This is what you usually call a courtesy."
Chen Zhian said helplessly: "You have injured a Jade Palace figure who reflects the divine appearance today, don't talk about it in such a normal way."
Li Xushi smiled complacently and said, "The gap between the Jade Palaces is much greater than that of the previous realms.
Yuque is very different from Yuque. The monk in black should be a three-eyed mountain ghost, who is actually not presentable.
The Dao Zhen Qi used when breaking through the realm was not complete.
Senior Brother, I am not bragging, but even if there were three more Jade Palace monks like this, they would not be able to enter this courtyard."
"Twenty-two on the Tiger Cub Monument, it really lives up to its reputation."
Chen Zhian showed his white teeth and gave a thumbs up.
Li Xushi became even more complacent and said with a smile: "Senior Brother invited me to have dinner at Yinhe Tower, and I was behind you when you went to pay the bill that day.
The meal cost thirty-six taels of silver.
It was the first time in my life that I ate a meal that cost thirty-six taels of silver.
Senior Brother has really helped me see the world, and it is my duty to help him drive away such a Jade Palace cultivator."
Chen Zhian did not think much about it and said to him seriously: "In fact, silver is nothing. If you are willing, someone will naturally send you endless silver."
"That's different." Li Xushi shook his head: "My senior brother taught me that those silvers were sent to people for something, and they need to be returned in the future.
But when Senior Brother invited me to dinner, he was just inviting me to dinner, and he didn’t ask for anything in return.”
"But you still helped me after all." Chen Zhian felt a little embarrassed.
Li Xushi said, "That's different. I make a move because I want to. It's different from someone else using money to buy me to make a move."
He wrote down what was needed for the prescription, which was three pages long.
Chen Zhian didn't say any more words of gratitude.
If there is a chance in the future, it will not be too late to repay you. The most urgent task now is to find these medicinal herbs and save Yu Li Ke's life.
Otherwise, Chen Zhian would have risked offending Chu Xiubai and saved another corpse, which was really not worth it.
He jumped over the wall, left his yard, left the imperial city, and came to Balian Street.
Even though it was past three in the morning, there was still a shop on Balin Street with candles lit.
The owner of the shop was still sitting on the recliner with his eyes closed, resting.
This shop is naturally a place for people to live.
Chen Zhian entered the shop and snapped his fingers in Qu Junhui's ear again.
Boss Qu woke up and smiled when he saw Chen Zhian: "Did he save the person?"
Chen Zhian shook his head: "We are still short of some life-saving herbs." He handed the three pages of paper to Boss Qu. Qu Junhui only took a look at them and immediately a look of pain appeared on his face.
“These herbs are unusual.”
"It's life-saving. How can ordinary herbs save lives?"
"You come and ask for it, and I'll give it to you?"
Chen Zhian didn't say any more and turned and left.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Qu Junhui stood up hastily and said with a smile, "I was just joking, don't be upset."
As he spoke, he casually folded the three pages of paper in his hand into three paper cranes and flicked them lightly.
The paper crane flew away and disappeared into the deep darkness.
"You begged me to save people with this paper crane. Now that you are short of medicinal materials, you need me to beg you."
Chen Zhian was somewhat helpless: "Boss Qu, I know you are extraordinary, why don't you go and save him yourself?"
Qu Junhui shook his head and said, "Many times, the person who does the work cannot do it himself, otherwise many things will be irreversible."
"For example, Yu Li Ke, it's not just Chu Xiubai who wants him dead. Many bigwigs who look down on the capital are also keeping their eyes on him."
“But there were many adults who didn’t want him to die, so he just went around in circles and ended up in my hands.”
Chen Zhian didn't quite understand. He pondered for a few seconds, then finally looked up and stared at Qu Junhui: "Boss Qu, what role do you play in Xuantianjing?"
Qu Junhui did not shy away from the question and said frankly: "I am just a broker in Xuantianjing, doing things for many people that they are not convenient to do.
Some people want Yu Li Ke to die, while others want him to live.
The people who wanted him alive found me, so even if the Yuque monks took action, he would not die and could run safely to the imperial city.
You will show up at just the right time to save his life."
"After that, you take the herbs and go to save him. Someone will naturally take him away during the day. You don't have to worry about it."
Qu Junhui's majestic face had a cunning and stingy smile, but Chen Zhian felt that Xirenju on Balian Street and Qu Junhui in this shop were both mysterious, and he wondered what secrets they were hiding.
"I owe you a favor again in this transaction."
While the herbs were still not delivered, Qu Junhui poured tea for Chen Zhian: "I expected that with your temperament, you would definitely help me."
"Why does Boss Qu think I will definitely save him?"
"You once delivered a knife to him, so you know why he came to Xuan Tianjing.
He was carrying the souls of 642 innocent people on his back. He wanted to kill the culprit with the long sword in his hand, to repay his gratitude and to help these souls to be liberated.
Chen Zhian, from the moment you handed me the knife, I knew that you had some chivalrous spirit, and a conscience hidden in your heart.
There are not many people with conscience in Xuan Tianjin, and even fewer who have both conscience and character. You, Chen Zhian, are one of them."
“The word morality is easy to write but difficult to do.
You did a very moral thing today, so I will certainly remember it well."
At this point, the smile on his face became even brighter: "And in this matter, I earned some very valuable things.
You also played a vital role in this matter.
Since I am a broker, I have to give some benefits to the people who do the work.
Chen Zhian...what do you want?"
Chen Zhian didn't think much about it. He immediately found paper and pen and wrote down many medicinal herbs.
Qu Junhui looked at Chen Zhian writing. Originally, there was a smile on his face, but as he smiled, he could no longer smile.
"What do you want to do with so many medicinal herbs? It's enough to make three perfect jades."
Chen Zhian said: "I am just an ordinary court painter, and because of this matter, I offended General Chu Xiubai of the Nanhai Chu family.
I am afraid that many disasters are waiting for me in the future.
Is it possible that such a risk is not worth the cost of these medicinal herbs?"
"Are you an ordinary painter?" Qu Junhui sneered and said, "Someone told me that after you took the elixir I refined, you built the Niwan Palace in a few days and condensed six divine essences in succession.
He also composed lyrics and poems in Yinhe Tower, earning him a great reputation and causing a great disturbance in Xuantianjing.
There is no ordinary painter like you in this world."
Chen Zhian's smile faded a little, and he said, "Then I'll give you a little less for each item. If it says two kilograms, I'll only give you one kilogram. If it says two hundred plants, I'll only give you one hundred plants."
Qu Junhui seemed to realize something and turned to look outside Xirenju.
Into the quiet sky, another paper crane flew, with a ring on its tail.
Qu Junhui took the paper crane from the air, took the ring and poured it down casually.
Suddenly, many packaged medicinal herbs appeared on the table from the Qiankun ring.
"Take these life-saving herbs first. I'll send you the herbs you need tomorrow, but I don't have this many."
"Go, go, go, the store is about to close."
Qu Junhui chased the people away, but Chen Zhian left contentedly and returned to Fosang Street immediately.
In the second half of the night, Li Xushi was refining medicine in front of Chen Zhian. His extremely precise method of controlling fire opened Chen Zhian's eyes.
What made Chen Zhian even more envious was that the strange little sword between Li Xushi’s eyebrows could actually spew out bursts of flames.
Li Xushi used this to make pills, so the pills he made were naturally good.
In the end, a lot of medicinal materials were consumed and two different pills were refined.
Chen Zhian crushed the pill and fed it into Yu Li Ke's stomach with water.
The true energy colliding in Yu Li Ke's body suddenly subsided, and the blood from his wounds stopped oozing out.
Li Xushi and Chen Zhian looked at each other and smiled.
This man's life was saved.
-
Just as Qu Junhui said.
At dawn the next day, the two sleeping people were awakened by a gentle breeze.
Yu Li Ke had actually disappeared.
Chen Zhian had already informed Li Xushi about this, and Li Xushi was not surprised. He just felt that there were so many masters in Xuantianjing.
An extraordinary night passed.
Just as Chen Zhian was about to start practicing, someone came knocking on the door.
When he went to open the door, he saw Shen Haohao standing at the door with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, wearing a moon-white brocade shirt and a red cloak, and squinting at him.
"Chen Zhian, you have made it big. You can actually live in the imperial city." Shen Haohao said this, and tried hard to suppress the surprise that welled up in his eyes when he saw Chen Zhian.
Chen Zhian was also somewhat delighted: "You are out of isolation?"
Shen Haohao raised his head and said with a smile: "I have come out of retreat. Now my divine essence has been perfected. Soon I should be able to break through to the unpolished jade and become a cultivator of the fifth level!"
Chen Zhian cupped his hands and said, "I admire you!"
Shen Haohao became more and more contented, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing two shallow dimples, and her laughter was as loud as a silver bell, dispelling the dull atmosphere on Fosang Street.
