Chen Ke looked at the book and said, "Could it be that the binding was wrong when binding? Well, that must be the case."
The practice methods in the book are indeed very profound, and Chen Ke cannot understand them at all. But as he read the scriptures in the book, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot. Although the hatred was still there, he seemed to have an unusually calm feeling.
"What a magical "Tao" Sutra. The scriptures taught by the immortals are really extraordinary." Chen Ke held the book and couldn't help but sigh: "With my qualifications, I don't know when I will be able to understand the words in it."
Chen Ke was thinking about it, and suddenly he thought that he could go to the old man selling books and ask him to teach him. Chen Ke still remembered that he said that he could learn to cultivate immortality from him.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Ke quietly continued to breathe according to the method given by Uncle Wang. This has become something he must do every day.
Chen Ke didn't know how long it would take him to completely resolve the pain in his chest.
This dull pain has been with Chen Ke since he was a child. It has no effect at ordinary times, but he can't breathe freely. Until recent years, the chest pain has worsened, making Chen Ke sometimes unable to bear the severe pain.
Chen Jinglan took Chen Ke to see many old doctors who specialized in treating various difficult and complicated diseases. There is also a miraculous doctor who can rejuvenate people and save people who are pretending to be dead.
But no one could help Chen Ke. These doctors could not identify the cause of Chen Ke's chest pain.
Chest pain is usually a respiratory disease, but Chen Ke's chest pain is not a lung disease. Chen Ke's pulse is very strange. Sometimes it beats stronger than a strong middle-aged man, and sometimes it is extremely sick, like an old man who has no strength.
After the doctors in the city diagnosed and treated Chen Ke, they finally concluded that Chen Ke would not live to be twenty years old.
According to the breathing method taught by Uncle Wang, Chen Ke could feel the changes in his body. The chest pain had weakened too much, and there was no longer the pain that penetrated into the bone marrow before.
Chen Ke held the book in his hand and thought to himself: "I don't use special breathing methods, I just read the scriptures given by the old man, and I don't seem to feel any chest pain! Could it be that reading the scriptures can also cure my chest pain!"
Strange thoughts came to mind, and Chen Ke was slightly surprised. He really didn't feel any chest pain.
Chen Ke decided to try to see if the immortal cultivation method given by the old man could really relieve the pain in his chest. Moreover, Chen Ke also wanted to verify something!
In the early morning, the red sun rose in the east, and it was another ordinary sunrise.
For Chen Ke, there is nothing to do today. Lord Long Tu is waiting for Bai Wei's investigation to determine the authenticity of the case, and then he can help him get justice.
The nervous nerves had been oppressed for so long. Today, Chen Ke did not wake up early or have nightmares.
When the sun cast its golden caress, Chen Ke woke up naturally from his sleep.
"I..." Chen Ke touched his head, got dressed, got out of bed, and walked out of the room.
"Brother Chen Ke, look!"
Xiaobao is already playing in the corridor. There are only three families living on this floor: Chen Ke, Qin Sister-in-law, mother and son, and Zhang Guard. It is safe for Xiaobao to play upstairs alone, and he does not have to worry about provoking any arrogant and domineering people.
Chen Ke looked over and saw that Xiaobao was holding a piece of silver in his hand, the size of twelve pieces of silver. Chen Ke had only seen it in the home of a rich man in Shanyin County.
"Who gave it to you?" Chen Ke asked. He looked at the room. Sister Qin didn't seem to be there.
Xiaobao smiled and said: "Dad gave it to me. I took brother Chen Ke to buy candied haws."
Chen Ke's heart sank slightly, he squatted down, picked up Xiaobao, and asked, "Is your father here?"
Xiaobao said: "Yes, he took his mother out and gave me money to buy delicious food."
Chen Ke put the silver into Xiaobao's arms and said, "Put it away carefully and don't let others see it."
"Why?" Xiaobao asked innocently.
Chen Ke threatened: "Because someone will see you holding such a large amount of money. If he doesn't have it, he will come to defraud you of your money, rob you of your money, and even beat you."
When Xiaobao heard this, he immediately protected the money in his arms with his two little hands and said, "Brother Chen Ke, don't worry, I will take good care of my money. When the bad guys are gone, I will buy you candied haws."
"Okay." Chen Ke pinched Xiaobao's cheek and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Xiaobao nodded, patted his little head, and said with some annoyance: "Look at my memory, Mom left food for you in our room, I was only thinking about buying candied haws, and forgot to tell you."
Xiaobao said as he struggled to slide off Chen Ke's body, protecting the silver with one hand and holding Chen Ke with the other, and walked into Sister Qin's room.
Sister-in-law Qin's room is very simple. The quilts are stacked on the bed, and there is a table and a stool in the middle of the room. There is a teapot and a porcelain bowl on the table.
There is a large bowl next to it with noodles, a chicken leg and two eggs on it.
"This is what your mother left for me? Do you eat chicken legs?" Chen Ke was surprised when he saw such a sumptuous meal.
Xiaobao said: "I have already eaten a chicken leg, which is delicious. But I am full now and cannot eat anymore. My mother also said that if I eat brother Chen Ke's chicken leg, brother Chen Ke will also be hungry. , can’t eat your chicken legs.”
"Thank you." Chen Ke said.
"You're welcome." Xiaobao imitated Sister Qin's tone and comforted Chen Ke. After saying that, he covered his mouth and giggled. Children's joy is that simple.
In the morning, Chen Ke played with Xiaobao in the room after eating. After waiting for an hour, Sister Qin came back from outside.
"Brother Chen, are you awake?" Sister-in-law Qin asked, "Have you eaten the chicken drumsticks left for you?"
"No!" Xiaobao said immediately and crisply, "Xiaobao will not steal brother Chen Ke's chicken legs. Xiaobao is rich and wants to buy candied haws for brother Chen Ke. Brother Chen Ke also promised to Xiaobao. Teach Xiaobao the martial arts to lift big rocks! Haha!"
Xiaobao said, holding his little fist and making a starting gesture.
"You are the naughtiest." A smile appeared on Sister Qin's face.
Chen Ke asked: "Brother Chen is back?"
The smile on Sister-in-law Qin's face paused for a moment before she kept it up and said: "Yes, he said that he is busy with official duties and is living in someone else's house now, so it is not easy to bring our mother and daughter there. Let me stay in the capital first, and he will often Come see us.”
Chen Ke felt something was wrong. Chen Ying was openly provoking the emperor.
Moreover, if the princess discovers Sister Qin's existence, the princess doesn't know whether to punish Chen Ying or help Chen Ying hide the news!
"Brother Chen is so shameless. Even if he has no house, he should buy a small yard to settle you mother and son in!" Chen Ke said.
Sister-in-law Qin laughed dryly, but still maintained Chen Ying's reputation outside: "He is currently undergoing promotion evaluation, and the housing prices in the capital are so expensive. If he spends a large sum of money to buy a house that does not meet his status, his colleagues will laugh at him, so it's okay. Now, Xiaobao and I will spend some time at the inn."
"Actually..." Chen Ke said suddenly, but he saw the helplessness hidden in Sister Qin's eyes. He sighed and said, "I will tell you more when I see Chen Ying next time!"
Sister-in-law Qin then laughed, hugged Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, aren't you rich? Take your brother Chen Ke downstairs to buy candied haws."
"Okay!" Xiaobao didn't understand the situation between his parents, so he smiled and pulled Chen Ke down the room.
The candied haws vendor was right at the door, with several children hawking. Chen Ke's eyes lit up when he saw the old man in a blue robe in the corner.
"Old man, you are here today!" Chen Ke came to the old man holding Xiaobao in his arms.
"Step aside!"
Suddenly, a disdainful shout came from behind, and a hand grabbed Chen Ke's arm, trying to pull him away.
Chen Ke held Xiaobao and stayed still. The people behind him pulled hard but couldn't move.
"Boy, you are looking for death."
A fist came from behind. Although Chen Ke didn't understand boxing and kicking martial arts, his body was very responsive. He held Xiaobao to the side, turned around and kicked him.
"Bang!"
The person who attacked from behind had no time to react and was kicked to the ground by Chen Ke. Chen Ke has already withdrawn his strength. If he kicks out with all his strength, Chen Ke can break this man's bones.
"Ouch, it hurts me so much!" The person who was kicked was a tall middle-aged man. He covered his chest and cried out in pain.
"Trash, useless stuff!"
Sharp scoldings came from a fat woman wearing red silk brocade clothes. She was holding a child. Chen Ke looked familiar. This was not the kid who bought books with a jade pendant yesterday!
"Hmph, you're so powerful. If you hurt someone, call the police to arrest you!" The fat woman came over and shouted at Chen Ke.
Then with bloated steps, he came to the old man's side, stretched out his hand, and the tall middle-aged man lying on the ground next to him immediately got up and took out a book from his arms, which was the book the old man sold to the child yesterday.
"Snapped!"
The fat woman smashed the book on the old man's body, reached into the old man's arms and took out a jade pendant and a penny: "Old liar, you dare to defraud my son of jade with a broken book! You dare to defraud my son of anything again." , break your legs, bah!"
The fat woman took the reluctant child and left. When she passed by Chen Ke, she hummed softly: "Poor man, don't show off if you don't have money. Today, my wife is going to worship God and fulfill her vow. I will spare you. Let's go!"
The fat woman pulled the child away, and the tall middle-aged man shook his fist provocatively at Su Zhao, then trotted after him, bowing his head next to the fat woman like a guarding dog.
"She is so fierce." Xiaobao said.
Chen Ke said: "Don't be afraid, if she dares to hit us, I will kick her away too!"
The old man smiled and stuffed the book under his butt. He did not show any embarrassment at all. He chuckled, "It seems that they have no chance of immortality, that's all, that's all..."
Chen Ke hugged Xiaobao and asked the old man: "Old man, what you said two days ago that I can follow you to cultivate immortality is true, is it true?"
"Of course it's true. I won't lie." The old man said, pointing to the outside of the city: "There is a Taoist palace twenty miles west of the city, which is my Taoist temple. I am the only fairy cave there. You are lucky. , you can meet me. Remember to bring me some apprenticeship rituals when you come to learn how to become an immortal."
"Okay, I will go." Chen Ke nodded.
"Little brother, don't believe him, he often cheats people out of wine and meat." A big man reminded Chen Ke.
Chen Ke thanked him, but did not say that the old man was a liar. He felt that the old man had not lied to him until now.
Taking Xiaobao to buy candied haws, Chen Ke planned to give some to the old man, but found that the old man had already left.
Returning to his residence, Chen Ke sent Xiaobao back and stayed in his room, reading the words in the book silently reciting "Tao" until late at night.
At midnight, Chen Ke's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"From early yesterday morning to early this morning, I didn't have any chest pain for the whole day!"
