[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

The sun was shining brightly, and the simple wooden knife in his hand was shining with a black luster, and the fingers holding it were even more transparent like jade.Xuan Zhen turned the handle of the knife slightly facing the light, and sure enough, he could see that the fine grained gouges on the knife body were full of golden light and could be clearly distinguished, but there were only some strange flowers and plants engraved on it. As the breeze blew, strands of five-color threads on the handle of the knife fluttered along with it, and Xuan Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly because of the bright colors in front of him.

Puzzled in his heart, Xuan Zhen couldn't help thinking a few more layers.He has searched in Huangshan several times but never thought of anything. He has already felt a faint sense of giving up on the memory of the past. Now hearing the old man say that something on his body is from southern Xinjiang, it is like seeing a ray of light in the dark, when he is hungry and thirsty. Just as he was eating and drinking, he secretly made up his mind immediately, no matter what, he would go to that black witch tribe for a while.He even thought in his heart: it would be the best if he could retrieve his memory, if not, it would be considered as a trip to southern Xinjiang.

With this in mind, Xuan Zhen asked Fu Sou about the way to the Black Witch Clan.The old man knew what he meant as soon as he heard it, shook his head and sighed: "Our southern border is full of mountains, there are hundreds of hills, big and small, and those mountain roads are all in weeds. You will definitely get lost. What's more, the mountains are full of poisonous insects and weeds, and there are so many poisonous mist and miasma, why should a knight take risks?"

It is related to whether or not one's memory can be retrieved. Although this persuasion is out of good intentions, I have no choice but not to listen to it.Xuan Zhen said: "Old Mr. Huo doesn't know something. I have something that Yu Jie has been thinking about for more than ten years. Now that I have a way to untie it, I have to try it even if it is impossible. It's good for peace of mind. Please do me a favor, old man."

He spoke with sincerity and firmness on his face.The old man saw that his intention could not be changed, so he sighed and said: "Go south, and you will meet a mountain full of giant trees. That is Lingshan. It is said that the black witches live on the Lingshan Among them, as for the exact location...but no one knows except their own people."

While speaking, the sun had already set in the west, and the sky was full of brocade, which contrasted with the fiery red phoenix flowers all over the city. It was like a fire burning all over the city, and even the faces of these people in the city were also stained with red spots.Fu Sou and Xuan Zhen babbled and instructed many things to be careful when entering the mountain, and at the same time quickly dismantled the wooden birds on the ground into small pieces and threw them into a dark blue linen bag. Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the group of children gradually dispersed and went home.

Xuan Zhen was listening attentively to the teaching of the old man, when he suddenly felt that the corner of his clothes was pulled by a small force, he lowered his head to look, it turned out to be the tiger head, the child opened a pair of round black eyes, and his cheeks were puffed out. Bang opened and closed his mouth, opening and closing his mouth like a goldfish out of water, and managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time: "Big Brother, Xiao Di and San Zhuaner also want to play with big swords, you, you come back tomorrow Is it?" The children don't know the sword of the fairy family. Seeing that the blade is sharp but does not hurt people, and the blade is long and narrow, it is only regarded as a big knife used by ordinary entertainers. disobedient.

Xuan Zhen smiled slightly, leaned over and patted Hutou's head, and said: "Maybe he will be here tomorrow, but it might happen in a few days. If you want to play, please come early."

Hu Tou cheered after hearing the first sentence, and ran towards the little hairy heads under the flower tree over there. Xuan Zhen looked at their backs and smiled, and suddenly a gust of fragrant wind passed by his shoulders , elegant but not strong, but somewhat like the breath of phoenix flowers permeating the city.

Then I heard a very pleasant voice breaking into my ears from nearby, the voice was soft, but the words were a bit cold: "Grandpa, I haven't been to the market recently, if I didn't hear that the aunt next door said I met you here You, I almost missed it again... Do you still have some of the medicine you gave me last time? My father took the soup made from the medicine, and his cough was much relieved, even coughing up blood. I am very grateful."

Xuan Zhen turned around and looked over, and saw a young girl in Tsing Yi standing in front of Huosou's booth. It's just a side face, but it's also exquisitely contoured. The eyelashes are feathered, and some golden-red sunlight falls from time to time. The black eyes are moistened with water, reflecting the phoenix flowers but not the slightest color. The complexion is fair, just like fine porcelain, even more She has a calm demeanor, and although she is dressed in plain clothes, she is a rare and beautiful woman.

It's just that the girl frowned at this time, and although there was joy on her cold face, it was also faint. Xuan Zhen thought about the meaning of her words, it seemed that her father was seriously ill, and only the medicine of the old man had some curative effect, so As soon as he heard that the old man was here, he hurried over and didn't even care to comb his hair carefully.

He was looking sideways at the girl and felt slight sympathy, when he suddenly saw the girl's eyes turn and looked over, but the eyes moved down after Xuan Zhen's face was swept away, and the next moment he saw the girl and the same looking over The old man showed a look of astonishment together.

Xuan Zhen was startled, followed the eyes of the two of them to look at the skirt of his clothes, and was immediately shocked.But inside the Taoist robe with embroidered patterns on the blue border, there is a piece of Yuanyuan that can't stop showing white light, because he is carrying the sun behind his back, and it is twilight at this time, so he can see it very clearly through the thin clothes.The light scrambled to be the first to release it impatiently, as if to prove his existence for more than half a year, Xuan Zhen hurriedly reached into his bosom, and took out the cool round object touched by his tentacles.

As soon as he took out the jade bi, the white light came into his hands, and now the girl and the evil man naturally knew that it was the object that emitted the light, and their gazes followed.The spiritual light algae jade still exuded a white radiance reluctantly in Xuan Zhen's palm, and it took a long time for it to slowly fade away. Huo Sou stared at a pair of cloudy old eyes and was dumbfounded. On the contrary, the girl was only surprised for a moment and then returned to indifference look.Xuan Zhen stared at her intently for a long time, but the girl was calm and composed, perhaps she was used to being looked at like this and endured it, she didn't say a word, she didn't even bother to stare.

She turned her head and pleaded with the old man, "Grandfather, if you still have the elixir, please give me some more... I brought some money this time, although it is not too much..."

"You old man, this girl's filial piety is really commendable. Just give her some medicine. If you don't have enough money, I'm willing to raise some for her." Xuan Zhen was originally in a state of anxiety. The cold face was full of embarrassment, his heart softened, and he hurriedly interjected.

The girl glanced at him. Although she was silent, there was a touch of gratitude in her eyes.Xuan Zhen smiled at her, then turned to look at Huo Sou, waiting for his answer.

The old man shook his head and said: "It's just grass and leaves picked from the mountains. They are born naturally and don't need me to water and fertilize them. They are picked for nothing. How can they dare to accept the girl's money? I am blessed by Empress Nuwa, so don't thank me. There are not many medicinal herbs, but this time I went down the mountain and pulled a few. If you want to, girl, just take them all, I only hope that your father will get better after eating them."

After the girl heard this, her sad brows finally eased a little, and the corners of her lips curved like a red diamond. This sweet smile is like spring returning to the earth, and a hundred flowers bloom on the earth. Steady, but still able to maintain a positive look on the face.

But when the girl took over a small bag full of herbs that was stained with mud, the old man asked again: "Girl, I don't know about the blood your father coughed up... but it is red with pink, much brighter than before? "

The girl nodded and said: "Grandpa Huo is right. Daddy used to be out of breath when he coughed, and the blood he vomited was dark brown. Since he took this medicine, he occasionally coughed up blood once or twice. But the color gradually returned to bright red, presumably it was the effect of the elixir." She thanked her several times before hurriedly dragging the corner of her skirt with the medicine bag in her hands.

Xuan Zhen sent the girl around the street corner with his gaze, but was startled when he turned his head.Huo Sou also stood beside him and watched the girl's back go away, but instead of a kind smile on her face, there was a look of worry.

"Mr. Huo... Is there something wrong with that girl?" Xuan Zhen couldn't help asking.

Huo Sou was startled, and was stunned for a long time, then slowly shook his head under Xuan Zhen's repeated inquiries: "That's not true. I have seen this girl a few times, and only one of her old fathers fell seriously ill again, and everyone in the family Relying on her alone to take care of it, but also bothering to ask for medicine for her father, this kind of heart is really admirable, so I specially picked those herbs for her..."

"It turns out that this herb was specially picked by you, old man, as a gift to her. No wonder you don't charge any money." Xuan Zhen nodded.

The bad old man sighed: "It's just that even if there is good medicine to support it, I'm afraid it won't last long... Her father is suffering from hemoptysis. At first, he just coughed endlessly, and gradually it became serious, with phlegm and dry mouth. The sputum was also bloody, and then it was simply coughing up blood, which changed from less to more, and the blood color gradually turned black and brown..."

This remark is roughly in line with what the girl said earlier, Xuan Zhen nodded and said: "But didn't she just say that after taking the herbal medicine of Mr. Huo, her father was much better?"

The old man shook his head, his face became more worried: "It's wrong, it's not good, it's bad! Although the elixir slightly suppressed the symptoms of coughing up blood, it's just a terminal illness. Where can I be rescued? This baby girl's father only has a month or two to live, what can I teach her to do after leaving such a young daughter behind?" He sighed, his face full of gloom.

When Xuan Zhen heard this, his heart sank.For some reason, when he saw the situation of the girl begging for medicine for her father, he felt empathy, as if he had also suffered from the worries and sorrows caused by the illness of his relatives. If there is any panacea that can prolong life, it will be delivered to the door immediately.

Just thinking about the panacea, Xuan Zhen's chest trembled, and he suddenly said to himself: Yes, even if I don't have any medicine for healing, the Elder Qingyang of the Qionghua Sect's Longya Dao Pill Room may not have... Qionghua Did you send any treasures!not to mention……

He lowered his head to look at the aura jade in his hand that was no longer shining, and felt more certain in his heart.After thinking about it for a while, he changed his look, and smiled at the old man in a leisurely manner: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I have my own way to help that girl. But there is still one thing to ask, dare to ask Where does that girl... live?"
