Zhan Ranming is sincere

Qinling Taiyi Mountain.Qujian streams are criss-crossed, green trees cover the mountains, and green bamboos are luxuriant.

The young man in Tsing Yi wandered around in the bamboo forest, wearing a pair of black ink-soled boots, shouting anxiously: "Master Uncle! Master Uncle!"

After a "rustling" Mosuo sound, the boy turned around abruptly, and saw not far away a giant macular python with a thick bowl mouth spitting out blood-red letters, looking for prey.The boy forcibly calmed down, slowed down his breathing, and slowly took out a feathered arrow from his back, using all his strength to draw the bow in his hand to the full.Sensing the noise, the boa constrictor flew towards it with its bloody mouth wide open, and only heard a "whoosh" sound as the feathered arrow deviated from the snake's head and flew towards an old tree. He ran away, sweating all over his head.There were two more "chuckles" behind him, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.Hearing the abnormal noise, the young man turned his head frequently, and saw a man in brocade clothes cut off the macular python behind him with a black iron long sword, and flew to the ground in a graceful swing.

The young man quickly stepped forward to check, he expected that the person had strong internal energy, he only chopped off the snake's head and body in two strokes, and the cross section was neat.

Looking up, I saw the man in brocade clothes with a face like a crown of jade, a pair of red phoenix eyes shining with a smile, wearing an ivory white brocade robe, red arrow sleeves with auspicious cloud patterns, and a headband that was as red as fire, holding a peerless sword Sword, peerless elegance.

Faced with the young man's reckless looking up and down, he showed no anger at all, and said with a faint smile: "It's getting late, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, I advise this little brother to go down the mountain as soon as possible."

"Thank you for saving my life, my lord! I still have good advice! It's just... my uncle is still in the mountains, and my master and brothers are looking for my uncle to save my life. I was anxious and went to Taiyi Lake in the back mountain to have a look. I met the yellow python! I was so anxious that I even forgot to use the lightness kung fu..." The voice of the last sentence was as soft as a mosquito, and the young man's fair face was slightly flushed.

"This mountain will become foggy after nightfall, and the road will be even more difficult to walk. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to find people. You should go down the mountain as soon as possible." After saying this, the man in brocade clothes did not continue to try his best to dissuade him. He just nodded slightly and turned away. go.

Seeing that the direction he left was not the way down the mountain.

The young man hesitated for a moment, frowned, but still raised his breath and followed up with Qinggong.

As soon as he approached, he heard the man in brocade groaning: "The sky plate is B, and the site is A. Good luck. The hexagram of Feiniao Tiaoxue."

After speaking, he looked back.The broken hair on the forehead of the boy following him swayed in the wind.The two people's eyes collided, and the young man's cheeks became even more red, and he said cautiously: "I...can I follow the young master? I won't cause you trouble..."

The man in brocade clothes glanced at him calmly, and he hastily clasped his fists in salute: "Zhong Ziqing, a disciple of Master Shan Zhenren on Xia Taiyi Mountain, is the second generation of the medical school and ranks tenth. Is the young master a member of my Taoist sect?"

Since 100 years ago, Zen Buddhism, Huayan School, and Ci'en School have been regarded as the three holy places on the rivers and lakes.The Jing Chan sect advocates Buddhism, establishes Jingnian temples in various places, and takes compassion as its heart, and never participates in disputes between the rivers and lakes.Huayanzong established the Tai'a School on the banks of the Weishui River, and Ci Enzong established the Yanyue School on the banks of the Luoshui River.Tai'a school martial arts requires a lot of internal strength. To practice the Tai'a school's eight sceneries, all the original energy in the body must be dissipated. After practicing the vigorous eight sceneries, the power is infinite.The martial arts of the Yanyue School are light and elegant, and all of them are female disciples. In addition to the swordsmanship that uses softness to overcome rigidity, the female disciples are good at using hidden weapons and soft whips, and their lightness skills are outstanding.

In addition to these three holy places and various small sects of casual cultivation, the Daoist metaphysics sect with a history of more than hundreds of years is the sect with the deepest foundation and the greatest influence.

The Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong straddle the east and west. On the main peak Taiyi Mountain, there are five holy halls, namely Kongshan Hall, Shangshan Hall, Taibai Hall, Yangtian Hall, and Feixing Hall. Art, Physiognomy, Divination.It is said that Xuannv of Nine Heavens taught Xuanyuan Huangdi the Qimen Dunjia technique to help Huangdi destroy Chiyou.

Later people inherited the ancient alchemy and created divination techniques such as Plum Blossom Yishu.In charge of teaching more than 1000 mountain disciples under the real person of Kongshan, he is good at alchemy, martial arts, and charms.The 150 disciples of the Master Shanshan are famous for their medical skills. They travel all over the world and hang pots to help the world. They have the reputation of "little living Bodhisattva".Master Taibai of Mingshu School, Master Yangtian of Xiangshu School, and Feixing Master of Divination School like to observe stars and measure fortunes.Daozong disciples all wear cloth clothes in blue and black.

Zhong Ziqing carefully looked at the man in brocade clothes opposite, and couldn't suppress his curiosity to guess: This young man is not wearing my Taoist clothes, but he is walking around Taiyi Mountain to heal his wounds. Could it be that he is a distinguished guest of the mountain gate?

"It turned out to be the old man's little apprentice of Shangshan Daoist. Aren't you the little follower of the medical sage?"

"Master, you actually know me?" Zhong Ziqing looked surprised, and then said with a sad face, "Please respect my teacher, sir, and don't call him old... old or something."

"The old man is the old man. When I was young, I loved pulling out his long beard for fun! Who told him to grow such a long white beard, which looks like ginseng beard, and it makes his hands itchy just looking at it." The man curled his lips and smiled, and patted Zhong Ziqing said over his shoulder, "The person you are looking for is the medical saint? I have practiced on Taiyi for seven or eight years, and I have never seen your medical saint. He is the old man's uncle, that is, the old man. Old man? How old is that... tsk tsk tsk..."

"It's true that no one knows the age of my master's uncle." Zhong Ziqing was a little embarrassed.

"How about this, I just happened to go to Taiyi Lake to take a bath, how about letting your master uncle go back to Shangshan Temple?"

"Really? Thank you...uh...May I ask your master's name?" Zhong Ziqing thanked him.

"Mo Ming Wu."

"Ah? You are the elder brother Mingwu? Ziqing has eyes but does not know Mount Tai. I hope the elder brother will forgive me!" Zhong Ziqing buried his head even lower, and his ears seemed to be dripping with blood.

"That's right, if I don't change my name or surname, I am the number one ignorant person in the Taoist sect, Mo Mingwu! Hahahaha!" Mo Mingwu walked towards the top of the mountain with a hearty smile and a black iron sword on his back. go.

Zhong Ziqing walked all the way down the mountain, scratching his head and muttering: "Huh? Why is Brother Mingwu different from the rumors? Although he is indeed personable and looks like a gentleman, why does he look like a prodigal son when he opens his mouth? Outside the mountain gate It really has changed a lot after several years of wandering around!"

There are nineteen springs, 26 caves, and 28 pools in the back of Taiyi Mountain. There are many peaks and mountains, surrounded by clouds and mists, and the climate is pleasant.Taiyi Pool is at the deepest point, it is a natural hot spring with healing effect.Ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter the back mountain without permission, let alone enter the Lingquan Shenchi.

Mo Mingwu was daring and curious since he was a child. Ever since he was accepted into the mountain gate at the age of eight, he felt that practicing kung fu was rather monotonous and boring. Every day he thought about finding interesting things and interesting people to toss him around: scribbling and destroying talismans, randomly setting fire to blowing up alchemy furnaces , so angry that the elder teacher and uncle jumped up and down, setting up enchantment arrays everywhere to trap the younger brother for three days and three nights, summoning souls and pretending to be ghosts, scaring the younger brother crying for his father and mother.

Because of his brilliant talent, astonishing talent and excellent bones, he often gets twice the result with half the effort, and he is the only direct disciple who teaches Master Kongshan. The three elders can only turn a blind eye to him.After being mischievous for a while, I found that the Shanmen had nothing to do, and ran to the medical gate, the Mingmen, the Xiangmen, the Bumen, and made a fuss.Tear medical books into snowflakes, hide turtle shell copper coins for divination, and Luban ruler for fortune-telling and compass in places where no one can find them. Regulations, punished to face the wall and think about mistakes.It's a pity that after the penalty was over, they still persisted and continued to toss, making each family miserable, queuing up every day to complain to the head teacher.

At the age of 14, Mo Mingwu overheard the elders mentioning that there is a spiritual spring in the back of Mount Taiyi, which is amazing, can heal injuries and improve spiritual power, so he rushed into the back mountain overnight and spent more than an hour After deciphering Houshan's illusion and maze, he successfully entered the 28 pools, took off his shirt and shirtless, and soaked in the pools one by one.After Yinshi, the sky was getting brighter, and he finally got dizzy, so he decided to take a look at the last Taiyi pool and go back.

His eyesight was excellent, and he saw a slender figure in the steam of the hot spring.The long hair like a waterfall with silver light poured down, and the white jade-like beautiful back and slender waist were half hidden and half revealed in the lingering heat, elegant and dusty, just like an exiled fairy.

For a moment, Mo Mingwu's heart seemed to be hit hard, the spring water rang in his ears, the smell of fresh herbs in his nose, and the beautiful scenery in front of his eyes, his whole body seemed to have fallen into the clouds and fog, and he was so light and soft that he didn't know where he was.A sentence came to mind: There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful.Encounter encounter, suitable for my wish.

He only heard a whoosh sound and a row of silver needles flew towards his ears, he managed to dodge it, two lines of hot blood flowed out when he touched his nose, before he had time to make amends and apologize, he fled Taiyi Lake hastily with lightness kung fu.He had never felt that his Qinggong was so proficient, and he only cared about escaping all the way down the mountain.

Seeing him rushing into the house with his nose covered early in the morning, the juniors all covered their faces and laughed and whispered, guessing what kind of disaster Master Mingwu had caused, and escaped as if the soles of their feet had been oiled.But I didn’t see the punishment from my master and uncles for a long time, but I saw him sitting on the bell tower night after night drinking wine facing the moon, and from time to time he imitated the words of literati: "Looking for the road in dreams, flying rain and falling flowers."

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who knows lovesickness and sorrow?The juniors smiled and began to sympathize with him with bitter faces.

Mo Mingwu had been a heartbreaker for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to go to the Taiyi Lake in the back mountain again. Master Kongshan Master ordered Elder Yuxu to take their first and second generation disciples down the mountain to practice.

It coincides with the troubled times, when demons and monsters run rampant, Mo Mingwu led his juniors to subdue ghosts and demons, and refine the souls of the dead.After several years of experience, Mo Mingwu's actual combat ability has been continuously enhanced, and he has become more and more dominant. He is the best in swordsmanship and spells in the Jianghu. He is honored as "Ming Wu Gongzi" of Taoist sect.

During the years of wandering outside, he would often recall the graceful figure in Taiyi Lake like snow under the moon. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there had never been such a wonderful person on Taiyi Mountain. Which fairy came down to earth.Fearing that we will never meet again, I suddenly feel sad.It was just a figure, but it made me so obsessed with it, as if I had entered a magic barrier.

This year, as Elder Yuxu got rid of the old devil of Minshan Mountain and solved the massacre of more than 100 villagers in Gejiazhuang, he returned to the mountain gate of Mount Taiyi under the call of Elder Bajing and Elder Zhifu .

It had only been a few days since he was ordered to take a bath and fast, and Mo Mingwu couldn't bear it anymore and ran to the back mountain.

It took him half a stick of incense this time to break through the illusion and maze of Houshan, and found that the maze had been strengthened and became more complicated.But these are just a piece of cake for him.

Enter the Lingquan Shenchi with ease, and go deep into the wind tunnel, only to see the water vapor and the hot spring tinkling.This time he learned his lesson, and before entering the Taiyi Pool, he burned an amulet to hide his breath.Standing at the entrance of the cave and watching for a while, I suddenly saw a person slowly walking out from behind the glazed screen placed beside Taiyi Pool.

This person is tall and tall, with flying jade belts, elegant and outstanding.A head of silver hair is scattered to the waist like flowing clouds, looking up, there is a pair of slender black eyes, the eyes are as bright as stars, the bridge of the nose is high and straight, and the pale pink lips are lightly pursed into an arc.This person's appearance is unparalleled, his complexion is crystal clear like jade, but his expression is cold and quiet, just like the dim moon on the river.Every step is a lotus flower.

Mo Ming felt like a drum beating unintentionally, stretched out his finger and flicked his forehead: "It hurts! Isn't this a dream?"

Before he had time to rejoice that he finally saw the person in his dream, a row of silver needles flew towards him.

This time he clamped the silver needle with two fingers, not one of them was missing.

"Again?" He grinned.

"Irreverent." The voice of the exile-like person was cold and sweet, like the sound of a guqin reverberating in a deep valley.

Mo Mingwu stared at the chest of the person opposite, and lamented in his heart: Oh, this peerless beauty is actually a man!Love is hard to wish! Love is hard to wish!

"Which sect do you belong to? Don't you know that trespassing here is a felony?"

"Mo Mingwu, the great disciple of Xiashanmen, may I ask the fairy's name? Uh, no, what is your surname?"

"It turned out to be the disciple of Master Kongshan, but the rules of the mountain gate are so relaxed now!" The man approached, and the fresh fragrance of grass and trees on his body burst into his nostrils, which made Mo Ming feel uneasy, and even his scolding could be heard in his heart. Itchy, like being scratched by a kitten.

"Hey! Young Master, wait a minute!" While Mo Mingwu was still thinking about it, the silver-haired man had already walked away.He urged Qinggong to fly to chase after him, stretched out his hand and blocked his fingers just to brush the silver-haired man's ice-blue dragon silk cuff.

"What's the matter?"

"Is the young master alone in the Lingquan Shenchi in the back mountain?"

"There is also a disciple who does not know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth."

"Uh... sorry for being abrupt, I shouldn't have barged in abruptly. I just want to ask, have you ever seen a hundred-year-old old man? I'm here to find the medical saint of the medical school."

"Do what?"

"Ah? Zhong Ziqing, the second-generation young disciple of Master Shangshan of the medical school, is in a hurry to find his master uncle and wait for him to save his life!"

"Xiao Shi is not a person who doesn't know how to measure, let me go and have a look." He turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Hey! Wait for me! I'll go too!" Mo Mingwu made up his mind to find out the identity of the peerless beauty in front of him, sticking to the back like a piece of dog skin plaster, and the person in front of him jumped up and he jumped up too He walked through the white marble gate of the hospital in just one stick of incense, and saw Zhong Ziqing waiting eagerly, rubbing his hands anxiously.

The bell and drum towers on both sides of the gate face each other.There are stone steps in front of the door, winding to the top of the platform.Climbing up the steps, there is a huge stone platform on the west side. The real person Shangshan set up a case to burn incense, facing north, standing upright, holding a sword in his left hand, thinking according to the style, the green dragon is on the left, the white tiger is on the right, the red bird is in front, and the Xuanwu In the back, the Big Dipper covered his head, with the hilt of the sword pointing forward, stepped on Yu step three times, and recited a mantra in front of the incense burner: "The green dragon in the east holds water, the red dragon in the south brings water, the white dragon in the west brings water, and the black dragon in the north holds water." The water comes, and the yellow dragon in the center comes with the water! Throw it into the three cups, and the water in the three cups is very watery, washing away the filth of the sky, the filth of the earth, and the filth of the 36. The filth of the body is cleansed! Hurry up like a law!"

"Tiandi Taiyi is banned!" A wave of emotion floated in the eyes of the silver-haired man.

Mo Ming did not look around, and saw that the three elders of the Mountain Gate and the three real people of the Bumen of the Mingmen Xiangmen and the disciples of the same generation were present, and they all looked solemn, surrounding a person lying on the ground.He was born with a pair of yin and yang eyes, and when he opened it at this time, he saw that there were black wounds on this person's body, especially the head was covered with black thick fog.

"Hey! It's already a dozen or so victims... Injustice, injustice!"

"I'm afraid this person will die soon... If this murderer is not caught, people will be panicked for a day, what should we do?"

"Reverend Shangshan gave that man a thousand-year-old ginseng to hold his last breath. I don't think there is anything other than a medical sage."

A group of young disciples huddled together and discussed in a low voice, Mo Mingwu had excellent hearing ability and listened intently.

"Look! Isn't that the one?"

Following the sound of astonishment, he glanced at the tall and straight figure with shining silver hair in the crowd, and suddenly his heart beat wildly.The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared blankly at the man who walked down like a scroll.

After Master Shangshan performed the incantation, most of the evil energy from the lying person dissipated.

Mo Mingwu stepped forward to check: "This person's seven souls have dissipated, and his life soul has also left. His life ends here. Calling the soul is useless."

"What?!" The other disciples turned pale with shock.

"Mingwu, have you figured it out?" Elder Yuxu from the mountain gate came forward.

"Well, it's exhausting." Mo Mingwu sighed.

"The refreshment of the heart is for the soul. How long can it take for the soul to go away?" Master Shangshan said while stroking his long beard. Seeing everyone's frowning faces, he shook his head helplessly.He quickly stepped forward and bowed to the silver-haired man: "See you, uncle! The situation is urgent to disturb Qingxiu, please forgive me."

Everyone was startled, and they all said in unison: "Greetings, Senior Medical Sage!"

No one in Mo Ming stood stupidly by the side, did not salute, but stared blankly at the legendary medical sage: "What? This young gentleman is actually the highest-ranked medical sage in the medical school? How is it possible? The old man Shangshan is old and blind right?"

"Presumptuous! How can a child with a yellow mouth criticize senior medical sages!" Elder Bajing of the Shanmen always paid the most attention to etiquette and dignity, and now his beard grew straight with anger.

"Tch! There's nothing to say! I'm still watching him take a bath..." The last sentence caused everyone to gasp, and even Elder Bajing was dumbfounded before he could react and scold him.

The medical sage cast Mo Mingwu a cold look, and waved gently to signal everyone to disperse.

Everyone pretended to be calm and retreated quickly.

The medical sage took out a piece of jade silk from the cloud sleeve, unfolded the jade silk to reveal a long row of silver needles, and pierced one acupuncture point each at the heart meridian and Du Meridian acupoint.

"Could this be the legendary 'Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate'?"

"Sure enough, I got the True Inheritance of the Medicine King! Tsk tsk tsk!" the mountain gate disciple whispered privately.

The medical sage stood up slowly and said: "The living soul can't be locked, so cast the requiem spell."

He seemingly inadvertently gave Mo Mingwu a look, and the latter immediately beamed with joy, and ran forward courteously: "I'll come, I'll come!"

Mo Mingwu proficiently burns incense three times and knocks three times, stepping on Yu steps to recite the scriptures: "The Supreme Commander, surpassing your lonely soul, ghosts and ghosts, all four lives are blessed. Dust and pollution are eliminated, nine holes receive spirits, and you are deeply enlightened. And go, to be reborn elsewhere!"

In a short while, the broken wisps of life and souls of the victim had been soothed and transcended, and the corpse of the deceased was prevented in time, and the resentment of the undead deepened and turned into evil spirits.

"Look! He's starting to rot!"

All the disciples were full of curiosity, and wanted to get together to check, but Elder Yuxu stretched out his hand and brushed the ground to stop him: "Be careful of the corpse!"

"Die so fast!"

"This must be caused by ghosts!"

"It's unreasonable to bully my Daozong Taiyi Mountain! You look down on my Taoist Dazong!"

"Silence!" Elder Yuxu shouted.The disciples groaned and dared not speak up.

"Thank you for your help, seniors of the medical school! All the disciples listened to the order and carried this corpse back to the mountain gate. I want to see what kind of evil is doing it for a tiger! Hmph! Let's go!" Elder Yuxu and a dozen disciples of the mountain gate stepped on the stone steps with the corpse leave.

Mo Mingwu saw the medical sage walking up the steps of the Shan Temple on the top of the stage, and hurriedly flew forward to block him: "You haven't told me what my last name is!"

The little tail Zhong Ziqing who was following behind the medical sage couldn't help interjecting: "Senior Brother Mingwu, it's inconvenient to tell you the name of your uncle, so please forgive me!"

Mo Mingwu frowned, his face darkened, and he turned to leave.

"Feng Lingze." The man's voice was deep and ethereal.

"Your name is Feng Lingze?" Mo Mingwu frowned with a smile, and grabbed his slightly cold hand hanging on the side with one hand.

"Ah! Senior brother Mingwu is not allowed, senior uncle is taboo to be touched by others!" Zhong Ziqing, in a cold sweat, popped his head from behind Mo Mingwu to dissuade him.

Feng Lingze gently withdrew his fingers from Mo Ming's passionate hands, and walked to the top of the stage calmly.

Mo Mingwu clenched his hands into fists, staring straight at the cold and arrogant back, as if a fire was burning vigorously in his chest.

"Senior Brother Ming Wu, it seems that my uncle is in a good mood today, not angry! Generally, as long as someone touches a corner of my uncle's clothes, he will be shot into a sieve by his silver needle! Don't mention how scary it is!"

"Oh, tell me how scary your master and uncle are! Come on, I invite you to drink!" Mo Mingwu drew Zhong Ziqing into his arms with a hook, and patted Zhong Ziqing on the shoulder.

"No, no, master uncle said that medical students must abstain from alcohol and meat!" Zhong Ziqing waved his hands in fright.

"Why are you so afraid of him? Let me tell you, I bought the eight altars of pepper wine hidden in the old man's room in Shangshan from the Baiyun Restaurant at the foot of the mountain. Don't believe their so-called abstinence from alcohol and meat. We are Daozong, you don’t need monks who have learned Zen to make family members!” Mo Mingwu laughed.

Zhong Ziqing: "But but..."

Mo Mingwu: "Come on, little brat! We won't return today if we're not drunk! Let's go!"

Zhong Ziqing: "Senior Brother Mingwu, I'm not a child, I'm already 14 years old! By the way, Brother Mingwu doesn't need to investigate the murderer? Isn't Brother Mingwu the highest Taoist ability among the disciples of the mountain gate?" Zhong Ziqing said to Mo Mo Ming Wu rubbed his hair very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to resist.

"Hey! Xiao Shi from the medical school also knows how powerful I am! You have a good grasp of the information! Didn't you say that Senior Feng has also heard of my reputation? Hehe, I won't wash my hands if I touch it today..."

Zhong Ziqing watched his face □□ the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the famous young hero "Ming Wu Gongzi".

The two went down Taiyi Mountain together, ran to the largest Baiyun Restaurant in the small town at the foot of the mountain, ordered two jars of pepper and cypress wine and drank freely.Zhong Ziqing was dizzy and confused by Mo Mingwu's wine, and in a few words, he was tricked out of Feng Lingze's unknown secrets.

Zhong Ziqing's face was bright red, with little stars in his eyes: "Master Uncle was brought to the medical school by a strange man, the King of Medicine, and was personally taught and raised by the founder of the School of Medicine, Yuan Lingzi. The King of Medicine traveled all over the world, his whereabouts were erratic, and he was forgotten by the world , and the master uncle inherited the medicine king's unique skill "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles" and became the only direct descendant of the medicine king in this world! Master Shangshan Daoist started a little late, he is the second generation of medical disciples, although he is also a master His heart and medical skills are superb, and according to the order of seniority, he has to be respected as Shishuzu. It is still a mystery how old Shishuzu is now! But Shishuzu’s face has not changed at all since I was a child, it has always been Such a cloudy appearance, Yaolin Yushu..."

"Xiao Shi, your master uncle taught you to abstain from alcohol and meat, did you say abstinence from sex?"

Zhong Ziqing: "This... our medical school can find Taoist couples just like the mountain school, and it is not necessary to marry a secular woman after retiring. It's just that this is the secret of the medical school, brother Mingwu You must keep it a secret, I said, I said, isn't the master uncle the descendant of Zhu Youshu, it is said that he must abstain from female sex! Huh? Brother Mingwu, why are you smiling so obscenely?"

Mo Mingwu: "It's okay, drink yours."

Zhong Ziqing: "I can't do it... I can't drink anymore..."

Mo Mingwu saw that he was delirious and drowsy, and poured it alone, drinking one cup after another.
