The second story of the ancient sword II

The earthen pot on the stove was gurgling and bubbling, white water smoke rose, and a warm mist diffused in the room.Yi grabbed a piece of thick cotton cloth and wrapped the handle of the pottery pot, a silver jet of water flew down, tender greenness immediately rose from the bowl, and a handful of fragrant tea was displayed in front of Wu Yi.

"The best little orchid in Shucheng, I should take it as an apology to brother Le." Yi Ze cupped his hands with a smile, "I never thought that I would wake up late today and let brother Le bump into the boudoir. I am really ashamed!"

"Then what... Actually, I didn't see anything." On the contrary, Wuyi scratched his head in embarrassment, "How dare you ask the third prince to make tea for me?"

"It's the easiest way to make tea, but this is what Yi only knows! Xiao Yezi often roasts chicken legs for me, so it's a gift." Ruan's voice came from outside the door.

"Alas..." Yi was embarrassed.

"Ah?" Surprise was written all over his face, "You guys, how do you live your life? You don't live on tea every day, do you? Did you eat the last meal or not?"

"To be honest, I can go out and buy some food, or..." Yi looked at A Ruan with some embarrassment, "She likes to cook very much, and sometimes she will taste A Ruan's cooking."

"Sister Fairy's...cooking skills?" It was like opening his mouth wide open.

"That's right, I learned from brother Xie Yi." Ah Ruan stepped forward.

"Thank you... thank you... Uncle's cooking skills..." swallowed the second half of the sentence, and looked at Yi Ze full of sympathy.

"Yize..." Ah Ruan yelled coquettishly, "I don't feel uncomfortable, can I not go to Mount Taihua?"

"Nonsense!" Yi Ze said with a serious face, "Master Huiyan is hard to find, and only Master can help you now. Even if you feel okay, I still don't feel relieved. If there is nothing wrong, it will be counted as Go see Master."

"Then, you promise me that you won't force me to take those unpalatable medicines." Ah Ruan took a step back, but still stated his conditions.

"Try not to force you." Yi Ze replied lightly. "If everything is ready, let's go."

It's like calling out the gluttonous chicken, only to see that it looked sullen, with its head drooping, and the look of grievance in its eyes.It turned out that Liuli Pig didn't pay attention to it at all, and kept hiding behind the dressing table and was unwilling to come out.

"Let's go." Wuyi patted Gluten Chicken's butt affectionately.

Immediately, the courtyard was filled with darkness, and the wind howled, and the roc carrying the three of them flew into the sky.Only then did Liuli Xiaozhu realize that his beloved A Ruan had been taken away by them, and quickly crawled out from under the dressing table, looking sadly at them who were getting smaller and smaller in the sky.

In the first lunar month, Mount Taihua is as clean as ice.The frozen water seems to freeze the mountain scenery inside, and the cranes that occasionally pass by leisurely make their own appearances on it.The rolling hills are covered with green pine trees, and the thick snow is pressed on the strong branches.The mountain wind blew, and the snow on the branches fluttered down, shocking the squirrels looking for food on the ground for a while.

"Yi Ze, do you know what those stupid squirrels are doing?" A Ruan asked with satisfaction.

"You must know the answer." Yi Ze glanced sideways at Ah Ruan.

"If you ask me, I'm just looking for something to eat!" Wuyu replied without thinking, and wiped his nose casually, "But it's so cold, how can there be food? My nose is almost frozen."

"Of course I'm looking for something to eat!" Ah Ruan was all smiles, "This is the most fun. Squirrels will collect a lot of delicious things in autumn, such as pine cones, hazelnuts, and chestnuts. They will hide those foods in places very close to where they live. But their memory is very bad. When it snows heavily in winter, they will not be able to tell the direction. Of course, they will not be able to find the place where the food was hidden. , I had to pick and pull in a hurry. Haha... Do you think that squirrel is dumb?" A Ruan leaned back and forth with a smile, "What's more interesting is that if you can't find it, those pine nuts and hazelnuts slept all winter, and they will drink it in spring. When it is full of water, it will slowly germinate, and then a small sapling will grow!"

"Hahaha..." Wuyi laughed unscrupulously, "Sister Fairy even knows about the Squirrel's family, really amazing!"

"Of course, I have lived in the forest for a long time. I am a grass, just like Yi Ze is very familiar with the properties of water. He is a relative of fish!" A Ruan said without thinking.

"Oh, that's it. No wonder Yi is not afraid of the cold." Wuyi echoed without thinking.

"Cough, cough..." Yi Ze coughed awkwardly, "Damn it, it's just that the five elements belong to water..."

Passing through the overlapping snow-capped peaks, the three of them landed safely in the Taihua Temple with the help of the chicken.As soon as it landed, the gluttonous chicken didn't want to take another step, chirping and bouncing into the same Yanjia bag, and after a while, its nose blew its whistle.

"Master." Yi Ze, A Ruan and Wu Yi came to Qinghe's meditation room, and Qinghe Zhenren was reading a book.

"Here we come." Qinghe put down the book in his hands, and looked at Yize carefully, "We're married, and we haven't had a wedding drink yet as a teacher. Does Yichen really miss me as a master?"

"Master..." Yi Ze's face turned red and white for a while, "The disciple was married to A Ruancheng in the hometown of his mother and concubine. After that, many things always hindered him, so the future and his wife Come to pay homage to Master. Now that I am here, I am here to ask Master, but also to visit you." Yi Ze turned his head and called A Ruan, "Master, please accept my apprentice and wife's respect."

Yi Ze and A Ruan were about to bow, but they were held back by Qing He, "Don't do it, don't do it...it's just a joke as a teacher. Tell me, what can you ask of me?"

Yi then recounted what happened in detail.Qinghe signaled Ah Ruan to come forward and feel her pulse personally.Two fingers feel the pulse, frowning slightly, Yi Ze and Wuyi at the side can't help but get nervous looking at Qinghe Zhenren.

"It's nothing." Qinghe Zhenren spit out two words lightly, and his slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed.The stone in Yi Ze's heart also fell.

"The seal must have been violently turbulent not long ago, and the spiritual power pathway also seems to be damaged, but..." Qinghe's face was slightly surprised, "The seal turmoil recovered so quickly, it should be the help of an expert .”

"There is no expert to help." Yi denied Qinghe's deduction, "I also suffered internal injuries last night, but after waking up this morning, I feel much better."

Master Qinghe cut Yi Ze's pulse again, and said slowly, "There were traces of internal injuries, but they recovered quickly, but the recovery was not good. But your daughter-in-law recovered much better than you. But for more than a year, the spiritual power accumulated in your Qi training has been lost, which is really a pity, a pity..."

"It's the greatest luck that Ah Ruan is fine." Yi Ze's eyes were filled with relief, "It's just a matter of doing it all over again."

"Well, since there is nothing to do, let's stay in the temple for a few days, so that I can play a few games with my teacher." Qing He smiled slightly.

While speaking, the disciple Tongchuan's voice came from outside the door, "Master, Master Nanxun is here to visit." Yi Ze and the three left Qinghe's meditation room.

"Thank you brother Le for walking with me and Ah Ruan." Yi Ze thanked him as soon as he left the house.

"Seeing that the fairy sister is fine, you only think of the benefits of my friend." Wuyi said sourly. "How can I thank me?"

"When you and Miss Wenren are happy, I will definitely give you a big gift!" Yi Ze teased with a smothered smile, taking advantage of his weakness.

"Yi Ze, you are too..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a somewhat familiar Taoist sister walking towards them, "That, that... Yi Ze, your natural enemy is here!"

"It turned out to be...Senior Sister Yiqing." Yi Ze's expression froze instantly.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Yichenzi?" Yiqing's clear voice sounded beside his ear, "Long time no see, he looks even more handsome!"

"Senior sister's praise!" Yi Ze cupped his hands in embarrassment.

"Hahaha...has junior brother picked flowers recently? Don't break your heart again..." Yiqing laughed without any concealment, and suddenly her laughter stopped abruptly, "Oh...no, No, I heard that my junior brother got married earlier. Well, the entire Taihua Temple knows about it, so how can I pick flowers again?"

"Senior Sister... If there is nothing wrong, then Junior Brother will go back to the room to rest." Although Yi Ze is a cold person, he still has some fear of Senior Sister Yiqing.

"Okay, then don't make fun of me, junior brother, hurry up and take your beautiful lady to rest. It's rare to come back, how can I, as a senior sister, not show face?" Yiqing stroked the hair on his forehead, " I will go to Qinghe Master."

"Realist Nan Xun is with the master, if you are not in a hurry about the matter of the senior sister, then find time to go." Yi Ze suddenly remembered the voice of the disciple outside the door before leaving.

"Oh, hehehe, it came so soon..." Yiqing smiled unnaturally, "Oh, I have my own sense of proportion. Junior brother, go ahead."

"What do you mean, Senior Sister?" Yi realized that there was something in Yiqing's words.

"No, no, Junior Brother Yichen, you just love to worry." Yiqing hurriedly waved her hand, and a stack of papers floated out of her waist pocket inadvertently.

"That's..." Yi Ze fixed his eyes, it turned out to be some prescriptions for curing diseases. "Is the senior sister hiding something?"

Yiqing looked at the prescription picked up by Yi Ze on the ground, and couldn't help frowning, "Young brother, don't bother you, I'll come, I'll come..."

"Senior sister is sick?" Yi Ze said lightly.

"No, it's not me, it's..." Yiqing suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, "Oh, forget it, I can't hide it. Qing and Shizun have been ill recently, and old injuries have flared up. Master Nanxun came here to Help him heal his wounds. And I found some healing remedies from other sects when I went down the mountain, so I took them to see if they are still applicable. But I was exhausted, and I just came back..."

"Master is sick?" Yi Ze's heart tightened, with a worried look on his face, "Why didn't you hear him mention it?"

"Why are you willing to let your good disciple worry? Don't say anything, I have to go quickly, if you have time, spend more time with Master!" Yiqing smiled and walked forward.
