step on mountains and rivers

After Jiang Ling and Lu Qing left the Immortal Medicine Valley, they came to the Beggars' Clan in a carriage.

After the two entered the room to put down their things, Jiang Ling led Lu Qing towards the bamboo hall.

In the bamboo hall, Chen Jianghe and Jiang Yu were drinking with several elders. When they saw Jiang Ling and Lu Qing approaching, Jiang Yu said to them, "A Ling, you are back."

"Uncle Dayu, old gang leader." Jiang Ling smiled, then looked at the elders and said, "Hello, elders."

Everyone nodded, and Lu Qing, behind Jiangling, also bowed to everyone one by one:

"Old leader Chen, leader Jiang, all elders."

"En." Jiang Yu nodded, and then said to Jiang Ling:

"A Ling, I have received your letter. I am investigating what you said, and I have not found any action from the Sisheng Palace. They have not moved. It should be very cold in winter and it is inconvenient to move. When the weather gets warmer, Maybe they will take action. Ah Ling, you have worked so hard on this matter, first take a good rest in the beggar gang for a few days. If there is any news, I will let you know."

"Okay." Jiang Ling said.

Seeing that he agreed, Jiang Yu nodded.

Chen Jianghe looked at Lu Qing and said:

"Xiao Lu, are you busy recently?"

Lu Qing was thinking about the Four Sacred Palaces, but he heard Chen Jianghe asking him, so he came back to his senses and said, "It's okay."

"Well, are you free?" Chen Jianghe asked.

"??? Yes." Lu Qing replied with doubts.

"Old leader, if you have anything to say, I'll help you," Jiang Ling said.

"You can't help." Chen Jianghe said.

"??? What can I not help with??" Jiang Ling asked.

"Do you know medical skills?" Chen Jianghe asked.

"No." Jiang Ling said.

"That's right, get out of the way, don't delay me talking to Xiao Lu." Chen Jianghe said, and then he looked at Lu Qing and continued: "Xiao Lu, old man, I have something to trouble you for."

"Old gang leader, please tell me." Lu Qing said.

"Well, some of us have suffered from sore backs and leg pains recently, and our bodies are very uncomfortable. I would like to ask you to take a look at it for me and the elders." Chen Jianghe said.

"Okay." Lu Qing said, walked to Chen Jianghe, felt his pulse, checked his heart and limbs, and said:

"Old leader, your body is fine, the soreness may be caused by the cold weather in winter and the invasion of cold air. I will make you some anti-cold medicinal wine and send it to you. You can smear some of it every day to relieve the pain."

"Okay. You can help the elders to take a look." Chen Jianghe said.

"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded, and looked at the elders one by one:

"The elders are suffering from old injuries caused by the cold. The situation is the same as that of the old leader. I will make a few more medicinal wines and send them together."

"Thank you Mr. Lu." The elders arrived.

"You are welcome." Lu Qing replied.

After Lu Qing finished speaking, Elder Qian walked in from the door. He looked at Chen Jianghe and asked:

"Old leader, what are you looking for from me?"

"Old Qian, come here quickly. Didn't you say that you were not feeling well a few days ago? Xiao Ling brought Xiao Lu back and asked him to look at it for you." Chen Jianghe said.

Elder Qian hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

Lu Qing took the pulse for him, and the pulse was a bit vague and faintly visible.He frowned and said, "Elder Qian, are you tired and weak recently, have cold attacks from time to time, and have trouble falling asleep at night?"

"Yes." Elder Qian replied.

"May I ask if the elder has injured internal organs in the past?" Lu Qing asked.

Elder Qian nodded lightly and said, "Well, the sharp blade pierces the heart, lucky to save a life."

Listening to his answer, Lu Qing thought for a while and said, "Elder Qian hurt his heart, but heart is the most difficult thing to take care of. I will try my best."

"Master Lu, can I be cured?" Elder Qian asked with hope.

"Although I'm not completely sure, there is a [-]% chance of being cured." Lu Qing said.

"Seventy percent? Seventy percent is fine, Mr. Lu, after my injury is healed, will my internal strength..." Elder Qian asked.

"Yes. After the cure, the internal force can flow smoothly." Lu Qing said.

After hearing Lu Qing's answer, Elder Qian felt mixed emotions in his heart, making it difficult for him to speak.

"Xiao Lu, I will trouble you about the old Qian." Chen Jianghe saw that Elder Qian did not speak, so he said.

"Yes." Lu Qing replied.

After Jiang Ling watched a few people finish talking, he said, "Old leader, leader, all the elders, if there is nothing else to do, then Lu Qing and I will retire first."

"Okay." Everyone nodded.Jiang Ling led Lu Qing out of the bamboo hall.

After the two left, Elder Qian looked at Chen Jianghe and said, "Master, thank you."

"Old Qian, as long as it's good." Chen Jianghe said.

"Yes." Elder Qian nodded.

After Lu Qing walked out of the bamboo hall, he went back to the house. He wanted to look up the ancient books to see if there was a safer way.

Jiang Ling went to the kitchen. He came out of the kitchen with broth and pancakes and walked towards Lu Qing's room.

After entering the door, he saw Lu Qing reading a book, so he put the food on the table and said:

"Lu Qing, let's eat something."

Hearing Jiang Ling's voice, Lu Qing put down the book, went to the table and sat down.

Jiang Ling handed him the broth and said:

"How? Did you find anything?"

"Well, I have gained something." After taking a sip of the soup, Lu Qing looked at Jiang Ling and asked:

"have you eaten?"

"You eat first, I'm not hungry." Jiang Ling said.

Lu Qing looked at him, handed back the broth in his hand and said, "Drink some, I'll go out when I have something to do."

Jiang Ling took the broth, took a sip and said:

"What's the matter?"

"Go to Jinghu Lake to collect herbs." Lu Qing said.

"Oh, good." After Jiang Ling finished speaking, the two had a quick meal and went out.

On the path, Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing with his backpack on his back and asked:

"Lu Qing, what kind of herb are you looking for?"

Lu Qing glanced at him, and said helplessly, "You don't need to carry such a big basket, we'll just find a medicinal herb."

"I know." Jiang Ling smiled.

Lu Qing sighed, no longer entangled, and explained to him:

"Jiangling, the medicinal herb we are looking for is called Heart-protecting flower. This flower blooms in winter. It is red all over. The petals are filaments distributed in an arc shape, enveloping the stamens. What I want is the stamens of Heart-protecting flower. It may be It can cure Elder Qian’s illness.”

"Well, good." Jiang Ling replied.

The two talked and walked towards the mirror south mountain.

At the foot of Wudang Mountain, Chu Xiaohe took Chu Linglong to bid farewell to Li Chengfeng.

"Brother Li, I will let you know about the Four Sacred Palaces." Chu Xiaohe said.

"Okay, Brother Chu, go slowly." Li Chengfeng said.

"En." Chu Xiaohe nodded, looked at Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu and said:

"Both, farewell."

"Master Chu, go slowly." Li Zhenwu said.

Chu Linglong looked at Li Zhenwu, and said cautiously:

"Brother Zhenwu, will we meet again?"

"Yes." Li Zhenwu said.

"Brother Zhenwu." Chu Linglong said happily.

"Well, Master Chu has a good relationship with Master, and they often walk around. If Miss Chu wants to, she can come with Master Chu." Li Zhenwu said.

After listening to Li Zhenwu's words, Chu Linglong thought for a while and said:

"What if Senior Brother Zhenwu isn't here when I come?"

Li Zhenwu thought for a while and said: "Master is my closest relative, and it's the same when you see him."

Chu Linglong was a little displeased at what Li Zhenwu said, but then suddenly thought of

"Brother Zhenwu, didn't he imply to me that Uncle Li is like his biological father, let me come here often, get along with Uncle Li more often, make him like the old man, and plan for future marriage?"It turns out that Senior Brother Zhenwu has already thought so long about our future, but I am still playing a childish temper here, it is true and wrong. '

So she looked at Li Zhenwu and said seriously: "Okay, Senior Brother Zhenwu, I will definitely visit my uncle often."

"Oh, good." Li Zhenwu looked at Chu Linglong suspiciously and replied.

"Then we'll take our leave." Chu Xiaohe took Chu Linglong away after speaking.

Seeing the two leave, Li Chengfeng turned around and walked back to Wudang.

Li Zhenwu looked at Chu Linglong's leaving back, and said in doubt:

"Did she misunderstand something?"

Seeing Li Zhenwu's doubts, Tang Qingfeng smiled lightly and said, "Zhenwu, Master is like your biological father. If you let her come to see him often, it's hard for her not to be wrong."

Listening to Tang Qingfeng's explanation, Li Zhenwu suddenly realized, and then hurriedly explained: "Brother Tang, I am not...I am..."

"I know." Tang Qingfeng said with a smile: "Zhenwu just wanted to politely refuse, but she didn't understand."

Then he looked at Li Zhenwu and said seriously: "Zhenwu, you don't need to explain, I always understand."

"Brother Tang." After listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, Li Zhenwu turned his head away, his ears blushing.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the speechless Li Zhenwu and smiled slightly.

He still remembers the first time he teased Li Zhenwu, Zhenwu looked indifferent.But now when he was teasing him again, he allowed himself to mess around, and he was tolerant to this point.

'Zhenwu, you are so kind, life is too short, I am so sad to let go. ' Tang Qingfeng thought to himself.

The two were silent for a moment, Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and said:

"Zhenwu, today's New Year's Eve, what shall we have for dinner?"

Li Zhenwu thought for a while and said:

"Porridge?"

Tang Qingfeng was taken aback after hearing this, and then asked, "What did Zhenwu and Master eat for the New Year?"

"Porridge." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Really." Tang Qingfeng said with a smile: "Is the porridge too plain?"

Li Zhenwu thought for a while and said slowly: "I don't seem to know how to cook other dishes."

Seeing his answer like this, Tang Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, let's eat hot pot."

"Okay." Li Zhenwu nodded.

Tang Qingfeng nodded, then looked at Li Zhenwu and asked, "Zhenwu, master should like light taste like you."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Okay, let's go to the town to buy ingredients first." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." Li Zhenwu replied.

The two of them walked towards the town not far away.

On Jingnan Mountain, Lu Qing and Jiang Ling were looking for the Heart-protecting Flower. They found this flower on the cliff at the top of the mountain by stepping on the white snow.

"Jiangling, over there." Lu Qing pointed to the red flowers on the cliff.

Jiang Ling looked along Lu Qing's direction, and saw a blood-red red flower, facing the cold wind, blooming on the white snow on the cliff.

The blood-colored petals are like filaments, half of which are blooming, and the other half are gathered inwards, wrapping the stamens, like a pair of gentle hands, protecting the stamens and protecting them from the severe cold.

"What a gentle flower." Jiang Ling said.

Lu Qing nodded in agreement, and then said: "Heart-protecting flower is named after its guardian. Its petals, like hands, protect the stamens from the moment of birth, resisting the invasion of severe cold. It will bloom layer by layer. When the last layer of petals blooms, the stamen will no longer be guarded, and it will wither instantly in the ice and snow, and fall into the dust with the petals, slowly dying."

Listening to Lu Qing's explanation, Jiang Ling felt a little pain in his heart.

He looked at Lu Qing and said seriously:

"Lu Qing, I will not die, and I will not let you die. I will become stronger, stronger, strong enough to protect you."

"Jiangling." Lu Qing looked at him and said, "You don't have to criticize yourself."

"Lu Qing, I don't want to protect you for a while like protecting my heart flower. I want to protect you forever." Jiang Ling said.

"Jiangling." Lu Qing looked at him, and then said slowly, "Okay."
