It is strictly forbidden to fall in love

The old doctor walked over slowly on crutches, and his granddaughter carefully supported him.

"Where's fetching water?"

"Ah."

The old doctor sat down on the stool by the well, "You can't drink the water directly from this well, you have to filter it." He gently waved his hand to motion for his granddaughter to help.

The girl said, "I'll come."

Yun Jue handed her the water in his hand, "Thank you."

The girl skillfully removed two oval-shaped fine-mesh spoons from the side shelf, placed the bowl on the ground, scooped up a spoonful of water with the spoon, and began to filter it. It didn't spill out either.

Zhong Qing was lying in the room, as soon as the wind lost, there was a fine layer of sweat on his head, and the mosquitoes swarmed in. Zhong Qing turned his eyes to see the thatched roof where the flies were flying around, and suddenly he turned his head and yelled Shouted: "Have you got the water ready?" I was going to die.

Yun Jue by the well heard the lingering voice from afar, exhaled slowly, turned around and shouted: "It's almost done!"

Zhong Qing: "You have to come back immediately after you finish playing!"

Yun Jue: "...Oh."

The old doctor at the side looked at Yun Jue's face covered with the word "Patience", smiled, and said, "You two are monks, right?"

Yun Jue looked over, and the old doctor smiled and said, "When I was young, I stayed in the Daoist sect for a while, and the coat of arms on his cuff looks like a dragon and a cloud, I know it."

Speaking of it, Zhong Qing was very fateful. When he was carried on his back, the injuries on his body could no longer be seen. The old doctor said: "If he hadn't met me, he wouldn't be sure what he looks like now. How could he be so noisy like this?" .”

Yun Jue: "Mister is also a Taoist?"

The old doctor shook his head, "Forget it."

The old doctor told Yun Jue that he had indeed stayed in the Taoist sect for a few years, but he hadn't made a name for himself. Since the rapid rise of alchemists, another ancient branch of the Taoist sect, the pharmacists, has been declining day by day. To put it bluntly, "pharmacist" is actually an alchemist with the name of "pharmacist". Under the huge impact of the alchemy wave, the eliminated pharmacists either changed to refining elixir, or retired to the mountains and forests to roam around. He is one of the latter. one.

"It's just that I had some dealings with the Taoist sect when I was young. This place is so remote, and I haven't entered outsiders for many years. I didn't expect to see monks here in my lifetime. I feel kind." He asked Yun Jue: "Now the Taoist sect outside how's it going?"

Yun Jue said honestly: "I don't know much about it either. I have been traveling in the South China Sea, and I just came back here not long ago."

The old doctor still asked Yunjue about the recent situation of several major sects outside, and Yunjue answered what he knew one by one, and the old doctor asked again: "How about Chaotianzong?"

Yun Jue: "What Chaotian Sect?"

The old doctor was taken aback when he heard the sound, and said: "It is Chaotianzong, the head of the sect under heaven."

Yun Jue said, "I've never heard of this sect."

The old doctor's expression was very surprised, "The five major sects, Tianhengzong, Tiandufu, Ziweizong, and Taiyuanzong are still there, but Chaotianzong is gone?"

Yun Jue said: "I've only heard about the four major sects, but I've never heard of the five major sects." He added, "I'm not very familiar with Taoist sects either."

The old doctor sat on the spot leaning on his crutches, and after a long time shook his head and sighed softly: "The world is impermanent." One day in the mountain has been in the world for a thousand years, and I always feel that in the blink of an eye, the world outside has been turned upside down, and the old man can't help but have a lot of thoughts.He said to Yun Jue: "When you asked for a doctor, you said that the two of you came to this town along the river?"

Yun Jue said: "Yes."

The old doctor said: "It is also destined." He turned his head to his granddaughter and said, "Go and fetch the painting hanging in front of the hall table."

The girl got up and went back to the house to get her things. The old doctor said to Yun Jue, "When I was young, I stayed in Taoism for a while, and I made a friend of Tianhengzong. I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you very much. Since you are A disciple of the Tianheng Sect, who came here by chance, I have something here, and I need you to hand it over to my friend."

The girl took the drawing out, a thin piece of tissue paper, folded several stacks and only about the size of a palm, Yun Jue took the piece of paper and said, "What's the name of your friend, sir?"

"Lu Xuanzhen."

In the room, Zhong Qing felt that he was about to be surrounded by flies and insects pouring out of the nest, so he turned his head and shouted to the door, "Why don't you come back?"

Yun Jue turned her head and shouted, "It's almost done!"

Yun Jue put away the painting, and he scooped up the drained water from the ground.

The old doctor said: "I have been practicing medicine for so many years, and I have never seen such an annoying patient like him."

Yun Jue agreed sincerely, "Indeed."

Seeing that no one came back for a long time, Zhong Qing shouted towards the door, "My arm is broken, can someone help me? I'm going to die!"

Yun Jue: "You can't die, stop shouting!"

Zhong Qing: "I'm going to die!!!!!!"

Yun Jue: "..."

The old doctor couldn't hold back his laughter, and said to his granddaughter, "Go and see what's wrong."

The granddaughter said "Hey", and she followed Yun Jue who got up and walked back.

The door was pushed open, and Zhong Qing, who was lying on the bed, finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Why have you been here for so long? I've been waiting for you..." His voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes fell on Yun Jue who was following behind. on that girl.The girl was about ten years old, wearing a turquoise blouse, combing a simple and capable single bun, a delicate and clean round face, eyes like two stars, Zhong Qing was inexplicably stunned for a moment, slowly Slowly said: "I have waited so long that I don't even know what to say."

Yun Jue: "You said you were going to die?"

Zhong Qing: "It seems to be okay." Zhong Qing noticed that the girl was looking at him all the time, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."

Yun Jue: "What did you say happened to your arm?"

Zhong Qing: "There seems to be nothing wrong."

Yun Jue looked at Zhong Qing's inexplicable eyes, and then at the girl beside him. After he realized it, he suddenly laughed coldly in his heart, and asked, "Then do you still want to drink water?"

Zhong Qing stretched out his hand that he said not long ago that the bones were cracked and could not be lifted, and took the pottery bowl from Yun Jue's hand very smoothly and took a sip. Yun Jue's expression was as puzzled as his mood at this time.At this moment, Zhong Qing's hand holding the bowl trembled suddenly, and he gasped, Yun Jue immediately caught the bowl with one hand and supported Zhong Qing with the other hand.

Zhong Qing lowered his head and frowned, "No, I really can't lift my hands."

Yun Jue supported him, "Why don't you try to be brave?" When he saw a woman, his eyes lit up, it couldn't save you.

Seeing this, the girl said, "Let me see."

Zhong Qing heard the sound and looked up, "This...thank you."

"It's okay." The girl sat down by the bed, she rolled up her sleeves, reached out and touched Zhong Qing's shoulder, and touched her arm along the bone, her movements were very gentle.

Zhong Qing looked at the side face, suddenly stopped talking, and let her touch it little by little.

The girl raised her head and said softly: "Several bones are crooked. I'm afraid they will have to be broken and reattached. I'll be fine."

Zhong Qing said: "Oh, thank you very much."

The girl's sleeve fell off, she rolled it up again, and said, "It's okay." She was about to start, but she took her hand back, and said, "You are seriously injured, I will ask my grandpa to help you reconnect, I will If I help you reconnect, I will be scared when you call."

Zhong Qing couldn't see a gentle and good-looking girl talking like this the most, he comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, just answer it, don't be afraid, I won't make a sound."

Yun Jue pulled over the stool where the medicine bowl was placed before and sat down. He looked at the two of them quietly, especially at Zhong Qing. He was deeply suspicious of what Zhong Qing said at the end. You can't make a sound for a person who can howl miserably for a long time with a small wound?

Zhong Qing softly said to the girl: "It's nothing, just do it."

Only then did the girl make up her mind, "Okay." She got up and found the tools in the medicine box, and then sat back on the edge of the bed. She pressed Zhong Qing's shoulder, looked up at Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing nodded, and the girl moved her wrist. After a click, it was folded open with a click, and then reattached neatly.She raised her head to look at Zhong Qing again, and Yun Jue had been observing Zhong Qing all the time, Zhong Qing's expression didn't seem to have changed, but was inexplicably stunned.

Seeing that he really didn't respond, the girl felt relieved. She smashed bones and joined bones neatly, her movements were smooth and skillful, and finally she withdrew her hand and said, "Okay, let's cultivate for a while."

Zhong Qing didn't make a sound for a long time, just looked at her, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Thank you." He looked at the girl in front of him.

The girl said: "You don't need to say thank you." She touched the position of the bone to reconfirm it.

Yun Jue on the side kept staring at Zhong Qing intently, with some surprise in his eyes, he asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhong Qing shook his head, "It's okay, nothing at all."

The girl packed up her things, and as soon as she walked out of the room, Zhong Qing immediately changed a hideous expression, he wanted to hold his hand, but found that there was no place to do it, the sweat on his head was pouring out layer by layer, The pain was so painful that his back molars were about to be crushed, and he slowly squeezed out a sentence, "It's really hard to bear the grace of a beauty." He raised his head and said to Yun Jue, "Don't watch the show! Help me! I'm going to die! Come here and let me lean in!"

Yun Jue didn't know why, he sat there and watched inexplicably wanting to laugh, and finally when Zhong Qing was about to fall off the bed, he stepped forward to support him, Zhong Qing grabbed his hand almost Did not crush his hand bones.Yun Jue sat on the edge of the bed, holding Zhong Qing's hand to infuse him with spiritual power, a sentence inexplicably flashed in his mind, the wicked will be grinded by the wicked, and the wicked will be harvested by the heavens.

Yun Jue asked, "Didn't you say you're fine?"

Zhong Qing lowered his head and leaned against him vigorously, not caring whether this person was mocking him, he said in a low voice: "This girl looks so small, why is her hand so strong?" Huh?" He put the accent on the word "so big".

Yun Jue couldn't hold back a soft laugh when he heard the sound, he held Zhong Qing's hand and lost his spiritual power, Yun Jue suddenly felt that Zhong Qing was really interesting.

After lying on the bed for many days, Zhong Qing raised his hand to face the sunlight and slowly clenched his hand. Although the injury was not healed, it looked like nothing serious. He and Yun Jue planned to leave this hidden town.

On the day when the two left, they went to say goodbye to the old doctor. The old doctor waved his cattail fan and looked at the medicine book. The little granddaughter sat in the yard picking herbs. The old doctor waved his hands and said, "Let's go."

The girl looked up at Zhong Qing, and suddenly smiled at him, her brows and eyes were curved, Zhong Qing was infected by that cute smile, and laughed too.The old doctor glanced at his granddaughter, the girl shrugged, picked up the herbs and walked into the room, Zhong Qing turned around and left with Yun Jue.

The old doctor sat on the recliner and looked at the two leaving figures. He didn't know what he thought of, so he shook his head lightly and smiled.

According to the old doctor's previous guidance, Zhong Qing and Yun Jue walked out along the stream, and soon walked out of the town, climbed over two mountains, and took a boat down the river. It was as if it had disappeared, and the misty town could never be found again.

Zhong Qing raised his hand and leaned against the canopy, and said thoughtfully, "It will be quite comfortable if I can live in seclusion in this kind of place in the future, and I don't have to worry about all the disturbances outside."

Yun Jue mercilessly exposed him, "Did you fall in love with her girl?"

Zhong Qing looked at Yun Jue, and he said, "Who doesn't like gentle and kind girls?" Everyone should look at the beautiful flowers on the road, because beautiful things are naturally attractive.

Yun Jue doesn't believe Zhong Qing's nonsense at all, this person is clearly lustful and loves the other when he sees one.

Zhong Qing looked at the distant mountain and Jindu, and said in a low voice: "There are trees in the south, you can't stop thinking about it. Han has wandering women, you can't think about it. Han is so vast, you can't think about it. The river is forever, you can't think about it."

Hearing the sound, Yun Jue turned to look at Zhong Qing with strange eyes, Zhong Qing said: "You are still young, when you reach my age, you will know the pain of being alone."

Yun Jue: "Isn't there a rule in your Taoist school, that those who practice are cut off from emotion and desire?"

Zhong Qing was so teased that he laughed aloud, he said: "Fake, Taoist rules govern heaven and earth, and even men and women fall in love? It's something that God can't care about."

Yun Jue looked at Zhong Qing who was out of tune, and didn't speak any more.Suddenly he remembered something, took out a rolled painting from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing glanced, "What is this?"

Yun Jue: "The doctor said he has a friend in the Tianheng Sect and asked me to pass this painting on to him. I'm not familiar with the Tianheng Sect disciples, so I'd better leave it to you."

Zhong Qing said: "Okay! What's the name of his friend?"

"Lu Xuanzhen."

Just as Zhong Qing took over the painting, his hand suddenly paused. He looked up at Yun Jue, with surprise in his eyes, "Who?"

Yun Jue repeated, "Lu Xuanzhen."

Zhong Qing said: "Stop joking!"

Yun Jue said, "I'm not joking, he said that his friend's name is Lu Xuanzhen."

Zhong Qing said: "Don't make trouble! Do you know who Lu Xuan really is?" Under Yun Jue's expression of "I don't know", Zhong Qing said, "Xuanzhen Taoist is the founder of Tianheng Sect. His surname before practicing Taoism was Lu, so many books also call him Lu Xuanzhen, the portrait hanging on our mountain is him, he died almost 3000 years ago, where can I give it to him?"

Yun Jue frowned upon hearing the sound, "Is he dead?"

Zhong Qing said: "He died early! Two years ago, I went to Tianfang Mountain to pay homage to Tianheng's grave. If it was really him, then this painting can only be burned to him." He was talking and sorting the scroll in his hand, An inattentive picture scroll suddenly shook open, Zhong Qing looked down, his eyes changed.

On the thin silk paper, there are peach blossoms, flowing water, red cranes flying together, and on the plank road in the distant mountain, a pharmacist carrying a medicine basket is chatting with a Taoist-looking person, and looking outside the mountain, the white mist covers most of the world , A group of cranes flew south, without a trace, without a trace.

Zhong Qing was stunned because he had seen a similar portrait, which was hung in the main hall of Qingya Mountain of Tianheng Sect. Master Miaomiao told him that it was the only authentic work of Tianheng ancestors handed down to the world, and it was invaluable, because the silk paper It cannot be preserved for a long time, and the disciples of Tianheng Sect have to carefully restore it every ten years, but it is no match for the weather and frost of the years. In the end, the painting still turned yellow and brittle, and the ink stains became blurred.

Zhong Qing looked at the almost brand-new silk painting in front of him that was exactly the same as the one hanging in the main hall of Qingya Mountain, with clear ink stains, bright colors, and said incredulously, "How is this possible?"

Zhong Qing suddenly recalled the old doctor's hearty smile when they met for the first time: "You can just call me Doctor Cheng.", "You are seriously ill!" "I haven't seen anyone from the Taoist sect for many years. ", "When I was young, I stayed in Taoism for a while, and I made a friend of Tianhengzong, and I haven't seen him for many years."

An old pharmacist surnamed Cheng, who was acquainted with Taoist Xuanzhen of the Tianheng sect, wrote eight big characters on the front of the hall of his house, "Hanging the pot to help the world, and rejuvenating the hand".

Zhong Qing's eyes changed, and it took a long time before he whispered: "The surname is Cheng, that person can't be Cheng Jingyi, right?"

The founder of today's pharmacist lineage, and the two founders of alchemy, Fang Hong and Pu Xuan, are listed as the three masters in Jinzhong. Today, it is more than 3000 years old!

Zhong Qing immediately straightened up and said to Yun Jue, "Go! Turn around and let's go back!"

Yun Jue was not familiar with Taoist affairs, so he asked, "Who is Cheng Jingyi?"

Zhong Qingdao: "Let's put it this way, if an ordinary pharmacist has superb medical skills, we will call him a miracle doctor, but for someone like Cheng Jingyi, we usually call him a medicine sage."

Probably because Zhong Qing really didn't seem to be a serious person, Yun Jue, who was dragged up, asked suspiciously, "You don't think you're still thinking about that little girl, do you?"

Zhong Qing said: "If she is really Cheng Jingyi's granddaughter, I might call her grandma when I meet her."

Yun Jue followed Zhong Qing back, but no matter how Zhong Qing searched in that area, he couldn't find the way into the small town again.The scenery in the mountains is similar, trees, mountains, water, birds, everything gives people a subtle feeling, as if the town is in the same world as them but not in the same time and space.

During these years in Tianhengzong, Zhong Qing listened to Miaomiao's anecdotes about famous people in the past when he had nothing to do.Cheng Jingyi, a pharmacist in Jinzhong more than 3000 years ago, has an unlucky background. It is said that he and the two ancestors of alchemy are brothers, but it is just a rumor.Daomen has always been the site of alchemists, his reputation is not as great as the other two brothers, but he is well-known among the people.He left hundreds of books in his life, the most famous of which is called "Fang Jing Yao Shu", which has been lost.

Regarding Cheng Jingyi, apart from the name of the medicine sage, the most famous thing about him is that he once opposed the search for the dragon. The world knows that the fortune of Taoism is inextricably linked with the dragon. Compared with today's people's enthusiasm for dragons, it can only be worse than today's. However, under this huge wave, Cheng Jingyi stood up and put forward the concept of "observing oneself", emphasizing self-cultivation, self-cultivation, self-cultivation, and self-cultivation Tao, he opposes people's blind pursuit of the power of the dragon. All things in nature have their own way, and they are greedy for the power of the dragon with the body of a human being. One by one, they are like gluttonous ghosts, destroying the heavens and morals, and they will definitely be backlashed in the end. .

At that time, Taoist people regarded Cheng Jingyi as a lunatic, and on the contrary, they highly praised the alchemist who could help them improve their cultivation. Cheng Jingyi later left the Taoist school and traveled alone to help the world. Without the holy name of Liufang, for ordinary people without roots, the so-called dragon is a fantasy, and they can't enjoy those expensive medicines. Cheng Jingyi's medical books are what can really save their lives.

Because of the grievances between Taoism and Cheng Jingyi, Cheng Jingyi has always been unwelcome in Taoism. Of course, this is understandable. For Taoist monks, you call me a gluttonous ghost and say every day that my descendants will not be good. I will be a ghost if I can wait to see you. It was not until more than 1000 years ago that Cheng Jingyi was able to rectify his name in the Taoist school after the Taoist textual research revealed the author of several classic Taoist books such as "Original Records".

Because Taoism found out that these books were actually written by Cheng Jingyi in his later years, which made a big joke in the world.This is equivalent to that you love sweet rice dumplings, and your neighbor loves salty rice dumplings. You two have been arguing for decades whether salty rice dumplings are better or sweet rice dumplings, and suddenly one day you find out that your favorite sweet rice dumplings are He sold it, and after you finished eating, he would say indifferently: "Yes, I can make sweet rice dumplings, but I just think it's unpalatable!" Seek the psychological shadow of the Taoist cultivator at this time.

Throughout the past and present, there is only one person who dares to play with everyone in the Taoist sect like this, and the time span is as long as thousands of years. When Zhong Qing first heard about this from Master Miaomiao, he sincerely expressed admire.

Zhong Qing and Yun Jue finally failed to find the way to the small town again, and when they returned to the ferry, Zhong Qing took out the painting from his bosom and looked at the sun, "It can't really be him. Right?" He turned his head to look at Yun Jue, "How did you find that town?"

Yun Jue said, "Walk along the stream, and you will see it when you keep walking."

"Then why can't I find it when I walk back along the stream?"

"do not know."

Zhong Qing looked back at the painting in his hand again, "You don't think the two of us encountered a ghost, did you?" If the old doctor is really Cheng Jingyi, it would be unbelievable that he is more than 3000 years old, right?There are some things that you really don’t want to think about. The more you think about it, the more you think about it, it’s frightening. The real version of Peach Blossom Spring?

Yun Jue said, "It might be his descendant."

Zhong Qing thought about it for a long time, and felt that this explanation seemed to be the most self-consistent, but it was not impeccable, just like the painting in his hand, no matter what, it looked too new, right? The painting from more than 3000 years ago, the one on the Qingya Mountain of the Tianheng Sect is about to turn into ashes, but this one is brand new and beautiful, isn’t the gap too big?

Zhong Qing thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason, so he had to turn his mind to a better place to think about it. Although his identity was a bit strange, he had no ill intentions towards the two of them, and even saved his life, no matter whether he was a human, a ghost or a ghost. Immortals are always good people.I can only think so.Zhong Qing put down the painting, looked back at Yun Jue, and suddenly said: "I found that after being with you, I always seem to encounter some strange things."

It seems too coincidental that the beautiful sharks in Tiandu, the evil dragons in the rivers who kill people for no reason, and the medicine saints and paintings from more than 3000 years ago are piled together.

Yun Jue said: "That's just right, we both go our separate ways, you take the boat back to Tianheng, let's say goodbye."

Zhong Qing immediately said: "Don't, don't! I'm talking nonsense! Just kidding! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
