The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 15 The Taoyuan Hermit
The carriage was galloping on the winding and bumpy mountain road, Xuanchi was lying on the side quietly, as if he was dead.I sniffed for his breath several times, really afraid that he might die suddenly.After probing for a few times, I only felt that although his breath was like a gossamer, his breathing was still smooth, so I was a little relieved.

I opened the window and looked out. The road was lined with verdant trees, and in the distance a small stream shone like a silver belt.Alas, if Brother Xuanchi's life was not at stake, this would be a good place to visit.

The carriage bumped for an hour on the road and entered a forest.At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and the road has become a little unclear.I was sleeping in a daze when I suddenly heard the neighing of a horse.I was startled, sat up with a gulu, and found that the carriage had stopped.

"Why did it stop? What happened? Are you here?" I asked the driver loudly in the car.

However, there was no sound outside, not even the chirping of birds.I had a bad premonition in my heart, so I asked again, and then reached out to lift the curtain.At this time, a hand was stretched out from behind and held me tightly. When I turned around, I saw Xuan Chi was looking at me with a stern expression.

"Don't move!" Xuanchi warned in a low voice, "I'll take the sword and rush out later, you take advantage of the chaos and run away, you know?"

Hearing his seriousness, I was startled and frightened, lost my mind for a while, and nodded mechanically.With a sword in his hand, Xuan Chi slowly went to open the curtain.

"Brother! Don't!" I stretched out my hand to grab him and said, "He is going to kill me, so hurry up!"

Xuan Chi shook his head, pulled my hand away, and shouted sharply: "Don't you even listen to what Senior Brother said?"

I was startled and couldn't help but let go.Suddenly, a few creepy laughs came from outside the car, and then came the voice of the boa constrictor: "Come down and die! My lord, I'm so impatient!"

That stinky monster is so capable that it was able to escape the gossip formation.Xuanchi flicked his sleeves lightly, and flew out to attack, and then the sound of weapons clashing was heard outside.I opened the curtains and saw the coachman lying in a pool of blood, half of his head had been grabbed, his death was horrible.Xuan Chi was swinging his sword to fight with that monster, the monster's attack was fierce and powerful, and Xuan Chi was no match after several rounds.

I jumped out of the car with my hands up and called out, "Senior brother!", wanting to go up to help him.However, my blue light sword was broken by the python monster, and I didn't have a weapon in my hand.Seeing that Xuan Chi was gradually unable to resist, I stood aside anxiously, scratching my ears and cheeks angrily.Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a small tree with the thickness of an arm lying beside the road.Before he had time to think about it, he lifted it up and attacked the monster's back.Although the tree is small, it is really heavy to be honest. Fortunately, I have a lot of strength, so I can barely lift it.

The monster didn't expect something to attack him suddenly from behind, and he dodged away in surprise.I took advantage of the situation to attack, but he didn't dodge, he stretched out his palm and attacked.

Only Xuanchi yelled: "Get out of the way! It's dangerous!"

As soon as I turned my head, I was so frightened that the tree shattered instantly in front of the iron palm, and sawdust flew across.In shock, my hands and feet were so weak that I didn't even have the courage to let go.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xuanchi swung his sword and stabbed the monster's left eye. The monster was shocked and had no choice but to return his palm. Xuanchi took this opportunity to cut off the remaining wooden pole, pulled me aside, and shouted sharply: "You don't It's fatal, isn't it!"

"I...I...be careful!" The monster rushed over again.

Xuanchi threw me away and shouted: "Go!" Then he flew to block the python monster.

I staggered and fell several feet away.At this moment, my life was at stake, and my instinct told me that I should run away as soon as possible.However, Xuanchi is in deep danger and is at stake, which makes me unable to make up my mind right away.How to do how to do!Do I want to go back and die with him at this time?No, die with an ancient man?It's incredible to think about it.

At this time, the long sword in Xuanchi's hand was shaken, he and the monster faced each other with bare hands, although the palm technique is unpredictable, but it is already only defending but not attacking.

"Hurry up! Do you want to die?" Xuan Chi jumped up and shouted at me.

The monster took advantage of his distraction, and immediately took advantage of the gap to attack, grabbed his wrist, pulled and pushed, and threw his whole body out.Xuan Chi hit a tree with a plop, and then spewed out a big mouthful of black blood.

"Don't hurt my senior brother! Smelly monster!" I rushed towards him head-on.He knocked me down with one slap.I suddenly felt that my muscles and bones were rattling and the pain was splitting.The monster laughed grimly, and said sharply: "Stinky girl, my king will suck up your spiritual power now!" As he said that, he flew straight to take my Tianling Gai.It seems that this time he is really going to die.Alas, that's all, even though he didn't die on duty, it's still an honor, and he deserved his death anyway.I closed my eyes and waited for the final blow.

But who would have thought that just as the monster was about to kill me, there was a force in my body rushing straight up.I just felt like my whole body was about to explode, and I hit forward like crazy, only heard a loud bang, and then I didn't know anything.

After some time, I vaguely heard someone calling me.I opened my eyes and saw Xuan Chi's bloodless face.

"Brother? Are we dead?" I sat up and asked.

"Silly girl, we didn't die! It was the white python that died!" Xuanchi pointed his finger not far away.

I followed my fingers.Damn, there is actually a big white snake, no, it's a big white python lying on the side.I am dreaming!Hehe, this dream is really bloody, do you think you are playing "Legend of the White Snake"?
I slapped my face violently, trying to wake myself up quickly.However, no matter how much I deny it, there is indeed a white mass lying there.God, what kind of plot is this?
"It, how could it die?" I was stunned for a while, then suddenly asked.

"You killed it, have you forgotten?" Xuan Chi said.

I?how come?I don't know how to catch monsters, and besides, the monsters are so powerful that I can't kill ten of them. How could it be me? "Brother, what are you kidding?" I said in a daze.

Xuan Chi glanced at me indifferently, and said: "Just when the monster was about to harm you, suddenly you pushed out with a force from your body, killing the monster instantly, don't you remember all this?"

I saw Xuanchi's expression was full of doubts, obviously he didn't believe my words.However, I really don't know what's going on, how can I tell why?
Seeing that I was silent, Xuan Chi wanted to say something later.However, he was seriously injured and the fierce fight just now affected his old injuries.He coughed violently for a while, spit out a few mouthfuls of black blood, and then fell unconscious.I was at a loss when I saw him fainted, and hurried back to look for the carriage.However, the carriage had long gone to nowhere.

damn!Now it's really neither advancing nor retreating. Seeing that the sky is getting dark and Xuanchi is injured again, where should we go?At this time, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a wisp of cooking smoke in the southeast. Could there be someone there?I supported Xuanchi and walked southeast with difficulty.

After walking for less than half an hour, night has fallen, and the road is pitch black on both sides. I am really worried that some monster will come again at this time.At this time Xuanchi was unconscious again, no one was protecting me, just thinking about it made my scalp numb and I broke out in a cold sweat.So, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Turning a corner, a thatched hut appeared in front of me, with a faint candlelight shining through the room.I put Xuanchi on a big rock at the door, and stepped forward to call the door.After a while, a middle-aged farmer came out to open the door. I explained my purpose and gave me a few taels of silver. The man helped me push Xuanchi in.

After walking for a day and not eating anything, the farmer called his wife to make some porridge for us. I ate it and gave Xuanchi half a bowl of porridge.Xuanchi's condition is getting worse and worse, his lips are turning blue, and his cheeks are bleeding dizzy.This is not a good sign!
Xuanchi can no longer walk, the horse has run away, Taoyuan Village is still far away, how did I get there by myself?I'm afraid that when they reach the place, Xuanchi will already be mourning.When I got up the next day, I was standing in the yard scratching my ears and cheeks in worry, when I heard two donkeys braying, hehe, I suddenly had a good idea in my mind.

I smiled and ran to ask the farmer to buy his donkey for grinding.The farmer was quite straightforward, seeing that I was a girl with a half-dead person beside me, and it was really inconvenient for me to move, so he agreed immediately.

"Girl, my black donkey is stubborn, you have to be careful on the road!" the farmer scratched his head and said with a smile.

Stubborn?Is it going to kick me?However, if on the way, it gets wild and runs around the world, then I really have nothing to do.

I thought about it, and suddenly I had a good idea.I asked the man for a radish, tied it to a small wooden stick with a rope, and then waved it in front of the donkey's eyes.The beast's eyes lit up when it saw the radish, and it followed me wherever I went.

Haha, the wisdom of working people is infinite!

We helped Xuanchi onto his new mount, bid farewell to the farmer's family, and turned up the mountain road.

Oh, what the hell is this weather!We walked for a while, and the weather gradually became hotter and hotter. In the end, I was covered in sweat, as if I had just taken a shower.I looked around and saw that it was bare and there was not even a shady place. I thought Taoyuan Village was not a good place.

After walking for about two hours, I was thirsty and tired, and I stuck out my tongue weakly, just like a puppy.I was thinking about where to get some water to drink.At this time, Xuan Chi, who was lying on the donkey's back, snorted softly and woke up.

Amitabha, he hasn't woken up since he fell into a coma last night, several times I thought he died! "Brother, are you awake?" I shouted in surprise, "Are you suffering? Do you want to take a break?"

Xuan Chi nodded slightly.I tied the donkey to a big rock by the road and went ahead to find water.When he came back, he saw Xuan Chi lying there with a nonchalant expression on his face, like a piece of ice that has been frozen for ten thousand years.I wake him up and give him some water.At this time, it was close to noon, and there was no shadow of that ghost Taoyuan Village. Could it be that old man Zhuge was fooling me?Can any legend be taken seriously?I'm such a pig brain.

After walking for a long time, just when I was about to give up some miracle doctor, I turned around the mountain road, and a valley appeared in front of me.Looking from a distance, there are pine trees in the valley. The mountain wind blows, and the sound of the pine trees is very pleasant.

After entering the forest, covered by thick shade, I just feel indescribably refreshed all over my body.After walking for a while, I came to an open space, and saw a gazebo not far away, and a person was sitting in it playing chess.

Anyway, I don't know where Taoyuan Village is, so I happened to go over and ask this person.I led the donkey and walked over, only to see that the man was wearing a green robe and had a chest-length beard, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he was concentrating on something.

I stepped forward and cupped my hands and asked, "Excuse me, how can I get to Taoyuan Village?"

Unexpectedly, that person ignored me and just played chess. "Hey, old man, how do I get to Taoyuan Village?" I'm not being polite this time.

But the man still turned a deaf ear, as if he didn't hear at all.Hey, what a bad old man, what are you talking about? Am I wronged if I ask the way? "Hey, let me tell you, are you deaf..." I said angrily.

"Ruoshui, don't...be rude! Let's...look ahead..." I was about to lose my temper when Xuanchi interrupted weakly.

"Yes!" I replied respectfully, and gave the old man a hard look, but I didn't dare to say anything and pulled the donkey forward.

After walking a few steps, Zhuangzi suddenly appeared in front of him.I looked up, and there were three big characters "Taoyuanzhuang" written on it.I found it, I found it, it seems that this is Taoyuan Village.I knocked on the door, but no one answered after knocking for a long time.Where has everyone gone?Was it eaten by a monster?
I walked around Zhuangzi, but there was no other house here except that Zhuangzi.This Mr. Taoyuan is really withdrawn by nature, he lives here alone, and he is not afraid of being scared to death in the middle of the night.Hehe, fun!

I was just feeling amused, when I suddenly thought, since there is no one here, could it be the old man in Tsing Yi just now?Oh, idiot, what an idiot!I pulled Xuanchi and returned to the gazebo just now.

I went back and saw that the old man in Tsing Yi was still concentrating on playing chess, but his brows were more deeply wrinkled than before.This ghost old man must be a chess idiot, I ignored him and helped Xuanchi into the gazebo.

I sat on the side and stared at the old man for a long time, hehe stepped forward and asked: "Is senior the famous Mr. Taoyuan?"

Not answering!Ok!I said again: "We are from Kunlun Mountain. My senior brother was seriously injured. I heard that senior has superb medical skills. Can I trouble senior to show him?"

no response!very good!See if I don't bother you to death: "Senior, just help us! There is a Buddhist saying that saving one's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You see, my brother is the future master of Kunlun. If you save him, you will not only build a pagoda." There are seven-level pagodas and seven-level pagodas, there are dozens, tens of thousands of pagodas..."

I kept buzzing in the old man's ear, and finally he got angry and turned around and shouted at me, "Get out of here!"

Haha, I just want you to be angry, otherwise why would you talk to me?However, after the old hair was finished, he played chess on his own and never left us again.

This old man is really smelly and hard, well, you won't talk to me until I give you some stimulation.

I laughed and said: "I said, old man, you should have learned to play chess for a long time! However, it is a shame that you can't even solve such a simple chess game!"

When the old man heard it, he immediately snorted, turned his head and said: "Young baby speaks wild words! According to what you say, you will solve this blue dragon puzzle?"

I smiled disdainfully, and said: "Of course! I'm afraid there is no puzzle in the world that this girl can't solve!" Actually, I was talking nonsense, how could I know how to play Go.The reason why this is a bad move is just to get his attention.

The old man looked at me, snorted coldly and said: "Girl doll, what a big tone, okay! You can explain it to me!"

"Then what if I untie it?" Although my tone was full of air, I kept muttering in my heart.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "What do you think?"

"Okay!" I clapped my hands and said, "If I win, you must heal my brother!"

The old man squinted at the dying Xuan Chi, and said, "Okay! Then come!"

Alas, isn't this a rush to put ducks on the shelves!I dilly-dally sat down and glanced at the chessboard.Good guy, densely packed!What is this all about?You asked me to play chess, I still barely know what to do, horse jumping, this is Go!Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

I picked up the sunspot and looked at it again and again, not knowing where to start.The old man got impatient and urged: "Are you going to come down! The old man has no time to spend with you!"

"Isn't it too soon? What's the rush! You haven't figured it out all your life, why don't you let me think about it?" I said impatiently.

The old man in Tsing Yi grunted a few words, but said nothing more.After about a stick of incense, I still hesitated, not knowing where to place my money.The old man urged again: "Are you going down, or are you just entertaining my old man?" He said with a fierce look in his eyes.

I can see that he has a bad look on his face, and I'm afraid that if this guy doesn't leave behind, he will make trouble for us.I turned my head and looked at Xuanchi, he is so angry now, his life is only in a moment.If you die, you die, just take a gamble!I closed my eyes and placed the chess piece in a random place.

"Confused! Confused! Aren't you committing suicide?" the old man in Tsing Yi cursed angrily.

"I didn't say it would definitely be solved!" I muttered softly, knowing I was wrong.

He slammed the table and I was startled. "What are you doing...?" I asked hurriedly.

"You!" The old man pointed at me, "Huh?" The old man looked down at the chess game with surprise on his face.

"Hey... Hey, are you okay?" I saw the old man's face was ecstatic, thinking he was crazy because he couldn't solve the chess game.

After a while, the old man stood up with a whoosh, grabbed me and shook him wildly, laughed and said, "You girl is really amazing! The Azure Dragon Bureau that has troubled my old man for most of his life is finally solved. Haha, good, good!"

What nonsense is this old man talking about!I stared at him blankly, thinking he was insane.

"Put it to death and come back to life! You really are extraordinary! Good! Tell me, what do you want? The old man promises you today!" He said with bright eyes.

real or fake?Could it be that I made a mistake and broke this game? "Are you serious?" I asked cautiously.

"Of course! Tell me!" the old man said loudly, pinching his beard.

I looked at him suspiciously again, and saw that he looked kind, as if he wasn't lying to me.I mustered up my courage, pointed at Xuanchi and said, "My brother is seriously injured, can you help me save him?"

The old man in Tsing Yi walked over, felt Xuan Chi's pulse, pondered for a long time, and said: "Why did your senior brother get poisoned by the python? This poisonous gas has entered the lungs, it is difficult to cure!"

If others say it's difficult to cure, that's all.However, what he claims to be a miracle doctor also said that it is difficult to cure, is it true that Xuanchi is really hopeless? "Old man! Aren't you a miracle doctor in Taoyuan? There should be no poison in this world that you can't cure!"

The old man said impatiently: "Although the poison is difficult to cure, I didn't say it would be cured. Why are you yelling!"

Where did I yell?This is not anxious! "What do you say?" I said.

The old man glanced at the donkey and said, "Take him back to the village first, then we'll talk about it!"

We followed the old man back to Taoyuanzhuang.There are three wooden houses in this Taoyuan Village. There are pear blossoms in front of the houses, and the fragrance is very pleasant.However, it looks deserted here, presumably because only the old man lived alone.The old man took us to the room on the east side.This room is simply furnished, there is no bed, only a very low couch.

I put Xuanchi on the couch, the old man said that he wanted to connect Xuanchi's broken meridians, so he drove me out.I was bored, so I had to pace up and down in the courtyard.

About a meal later, the bamboo door squeaked, and the old man in Tsing Yi came out with a graceful manner.

"How? How?" I ran over and asked.

The old man looked at me, and said slowly: "I, Mr. Taoyuan, will go out, so there is no problem!"

This old man is really conceited, so forget about it. "Senior Brother Xuanchi, is your life safe?" I said happily.

The old man frowned and said: "A few meridians in his whole body have been broken, and there is no serious problem now. However, the poison is not easy to get rid of!"

When I heard him say this, I said anxiously, "Then what should I do? You can't cure it, can you?"

The old man snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "Since you don't trust the old man, you don't have to deal with it! Who forced you!"

This old man is very arrogant, it seems that he can't confront him.I stuck out my tongue and said with a smile: "Sir, I know that your medical skills are simply unprecedented. I'm afraid that even Hua Tuo can't compare with you in this world! I'm not in a hurry, you just don't remember the little ones." Please forgive me this time! Then tell me, what should I do now? If you want me to help, I will do my best!"

It seems that these sweet words are right, the old man was full of complacency when he heard it, and said slowly: "It's getting late today, let's rest for a night, and tomorrow I will take you to the mountains to collect herbs. However, this medicine can If you can’t get it, it depends on your luck!” He sighed softly.
