I don’t know when I started to develop a coughing symptom. When I was tired, my cough became more severe.
Life has been relatively quiet since entering the Yang Mansion. Ruosui thought he was fine. Recently, the matter of marriage has officially come to the table. After thinking about it, how can he not feel sad and melancholy?
After getting up early that morning, she was practicing in the hospital. As she was practicing, she felt something rushing into her throat. She thought it was phlegm, so she casually spit it into the flowers beside her. She spit out a mouthful of blood and put it on the side of the flower. Master Zhixian was so frightened that he turned pale.
She supported Ruosui and sat down on a rock. Ruosui, who had a pale face, slowly stopped vomiting. Zhixian, who was helping Ruosui, felt that her whole body was hot at this moment. Li Shun came over after hearing the news, but Ruosui was still forcing a smile. This is what he said.
"It doesn't matter, we'll be fine."
"It's already like this and you still think it's okay?"
Li Shun had already seen the blood vomited on the ground and was extremely distressed. He did not care about the ordination ceremony of men and women and took Ruosui into the room with both hands. When Yang Jian heard about it, he immediately came to visit and notified Liu Pi of the East Palace. Zheng Yi invited the imperial doctor to treat him. If you follow the treatment.
Yang Jian closed his eyes on the side, and with his hands in an arched shape, he was practicing a mouthful of internal energy. Because Yang Jian knew that people who practice martial arts must have internal energy, and internal energy is given to another person. If there is a big harm in the body, it can temporarily save life. If the small harm is not cured, it can be slowly healed. The Prajna Palm technique can not only kill It is extremely powerful and has the ability to hang a pot to save people.
Yang Jian saw Li Shun pacing at the door distractedly and pulled him aside.
"Master taught us the Prajna Palm Technique. We have never harmed anyone with this set of palm techniques. This is a good palm technique. If the imperial doctor is unable to cure it, we will use our internal strength to cure Junior Sister Ruosui."
Li Shun said with tears in his eyes.
"Brother, we heard from the master that if you use this palm technique to save people, if you don't have enough internal strength, you will hurt yourself. In the least case, you will lose your energy. In the worst case, your life span will be shortened by 5 years."
Yang Jian held Li Shun's hand and said.
"Five years? Even if we live 70% off, 5 years is enough. Brother, don't say Ruosi. Even if we are met by a commoner, we will be obligated. Since we were young, our master has taught us that saving someone's life not only benefits ourselves but also benefits others. .”
The imperial physician took the pulse and looked at the tongue coating for diagnosis before speaking to Zhixian and Li Shun.
"Based on my more than 10 years of experience, I dare to conclude that the monk and nun are suffering from tuberculosis, and the symptoms are caused by diabetes mellitus. The monk and nun have been suffering from this disease for several years, and it is unlikely to be cured now. Take medicine and stay in bed to recuperate.”
After hearing this, Li Shun looked ferocious and heartbroken, grabbed the imperial doctor's collar and said.
"You can see clearly, how can Ruosui suffer from diabetes mellitus? Don't you just want to extort some money? Grandpa wants you to taste our fist today."
Li Shun was about to punch the imperial doctor, so he hit the fatal spot. When Master Zhixian saw him, he tried to remove Li Shun's fist with two moves.
"You are so presumptuous. Do you still remember what my master taught you? Isn't the imperial doctor coming from the palace just to treat Ruosui? If you do this, you will hurt innocent people again."
"The imperial doctor is laughing at him. My brother has a bad temper. Don't give him any advice. It's just a drop of money for you to come over."
Li Shun played a great role in treating Ruosui's illness. Whenever he was free, he came to accompany Ruosui and tried his best to make her happy. No matter how bitter or unpleasant the soup was, Ruosui could swallow it as long as it was brought by Li Shun. If the condition improves slightly, the condition will improve.
"Li Shun is a panacea for Ruosui."
After the hottest summer, Ruosui was already able to get out of bed and walk around, and she could still perform kung fu in the hospital. Just when everyone thought a medical miracle was about to happen and looked forward to Ruosui's complete recovery, she said.
"We dreamed a few days ago that the Buddha's light shone in the hall, and we want to go to Mount Wutai to worship Manjushri Bodhisattva."
The road from Chang'an to Mount Wutai is long and has many mountainous roads. It is not easy for an ordinary person to go to such a far place, let alone a weak woman who cannot afford to suffer from serious illness.
After hearing this ridiculous reason, everyone rushed to persuade him.
"Mount Wutai is a long way away. All you have to do is have the Buddha in your heart. We will go with you when you fully recover."
In the emperor's campaign to exterminate Buddhism, he excluded the old White Horse Temple, Wutai Mountain Grand Buddha Temple in Luoyang and several famous Buddhist temples in Buddhist holy places from being destroyed. If he followed this move, he would undoubtedly be taking a risk to explore the future destination of the master.
While everyone strongly opposed this unreasonable request, Li Shun agreed.
Li Shun's idea is very simple. As long as it is Ruosui's wish and there is a way to achieve it, he will try his best to satisfy her.
As the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, Li Shun started to organize things vigorously and resolutely after winning Yang Jian's consent and support. At this moment, even Zhixian's opposition became soft.
First of all, Li Shun selected Yang Jian's best big car and installed a spacious expansion bag on it. He also selected two handlebar heads who had traveled to Suizhou and had experience in traveling long distances. In addition, he also selected several people who were close to Li Shun. The Yang family's personal soldiers escorted this trip.
Everything was ready, and the leader set off, but Ruosu refused to obey her insistence on not wanting the coachman.
"We want Li Shun to drive for us, and we don't want anyone to follow us."
Li Shun, who had a strong and violent nature, was completely obedient to Ruo Sui. He invited the best craftsmen in Chang'an City to rebuild a small and sturdy carriage. Whenever he was free, he asked the driver to teach him the skills of driving the carriage.
After the car was built, Li Shun test-drove it around Chang'an for two days and felt it was ready for the road, so he put a new bedding in the car. At the same time, Yang Jian also invited a physiognomist to choose a good and auspicious day for Li Shun and Ruosui. Burn incense and set off.
Before leaving, Yang Jian's eyelids kept twitching. He called Li Shun over and said.
"There are rumors among us that Shan Yutong has been operating 50 kilometers around Chang'an recently. Shan Yutong is a guy who will avenge himself. I advise you to bring a few guards with you."
After that, Yang Jian took 20 taels of silver and gave it to Li Shun.
"There is a long way to go, and a poor family has a long way to go. Take this money. You will need it on the road. Tickets are needed for the stars and the sea."
Just the day before they set off, Li Shun had already sent someone to the front station to book the inn where they would rest that night. Li Shun also arranged for more than a dozen soldiers disguised as merchants to follow and protect them behind their car.
After the car left the city, Ruo lay comfortably in the car and raised the corner of the curtain. He glanced at the scene outside the car and then looked at the generous back of Li Shun who was driving, which was particularly satisfying.
The car slowly left Chang'an and headed northeast. Ruosui didn't want to look at the scenery outside, so she lay on the soft quilt. Inadvertently, she pulled out a long whip made of tiger skin from under the quilt.
"Brother Shun, there is a whip down here. What is it for?"
"it's useless."
If you follow the path of incomprehension.
"The whip is quite heavy. Can the horse bear it if it is struck on it?"
Li Shun said with a smile.
"If you don't whip the horse, then the whip is used to whip people, to whip the bad guys."
The weather outside Chang'an City is really nice. The warm sunlight shines on the clear Wei River. Two rows of geese fly south in a herringbone formation between the blue sky and white clouds.
The farther they go, the less densely populated they become, and the more desolate the loess plateau becomes. One after another, their car rides one after another. Li Shun doesn't know when, what month or day he was born, or where his ancestral home is. He only knows that he belongs to this piece of yellow land. descendants.
From the moment Li Shun remembered it, what remained in his young heart were the majestic and rich loess plateaus. As he drove the car and walked, the past events vaguely came to his mind. When he didn't pay attention, a crisp and rough singing sounded. Like the water from the Wei River flying out of the lip.
Li Shun's singing voice is passionate, high-spirited and profound, like a clear spring water jumping from a mountain stream into Ruosui's heart.
"Brother Shun, you sing so beautifully."
If you follow the sincere way.
"But we never knew you had such artistic talent."
"What does this mean? Who in our hometown doesn't know how to roar a few times?"
Li Shun's mood has not been as happy as today for a long time. He snapped his whip and roared at the horse.
"drive."
The horse pulled the cart and rushed forward. The warm early autumn wind blowing into the shed also immediately relieved Ruosui's condition a lot.
In the vigorous dusk, the carriage driven by Li Shun drove into a small town. There was a man dressed like a waiter waiting at the door to solicit customers. Li Shun entered an inn under his guidance. He waited for Ruosui to tidy up her clothes before taking her out of the car. Pick it up and carefully place it on the ground. Walk around with Ruosui to stretch your body.
Then he went back to the room and asked her to lie down and rest, but he personally cooked the medicine for Ruosui. After eating and drinking the medicine, he fetched water for her and asked her to scrub her body. Every time at this moment, he would think of the first time he saw Ruosui in the stream. The scene in the bath is reproduced.
Li Shun and Ruosui also shared a room at night. If it was a kang room, they would each have a bed covered with cloth. There was a small kang table between the two of them. If it was a bed, each would sleep on one bed. If there was bad weather, they would not travel. I found firewood in the inn and set up a copper pot to eat meat.
Stop and go, about seven or eight days later, this morning, as soon as he left the inn and hit the road, he saw a black spot on the loess plateau from a distance. Gradually, the black spot began to grow slowly, and a large car approached. Only then did he see clearly that standing on the loess plateau was a man wearing a black cloak and riding a black horse.
Ruosui couldn't help but admired.
"Brother Shun, look at that man and horse, they really look like they were carved out of a big piece of bluestone. He is so sure and powerful on the loess plateau."
Li Shun said a little jealously.
"Don't praise him so much for how beautiful our whip is?"
Ruo casually took out the whip from under the quilt and said.
"Here it is."
"Get ready for us."
Li Shun's words had just reached his throat when he saw the man walking on the Loess Plateau holding a Mo knife in his hand, blowing up a cloud of dust and rushing toward him. Behind him were seven or eight horse thieves who dropped from the sky and rushed to the roadside. He shouted towards the carriage.
"Stop the car for us."
Li Shun calmly inserted the whip into the socket of the car bumper, put his hand in his mouth and whistled loudly, then reached out to touch the ice-cooked copper stick. In the blink of an eye, the horse thief headed by him had already swung his sword to kill him. Arrive at the car.
Li Shun swung the ice-coated copper stick and drew an arc in the air. The tip of the stick hit the horse thief's waist. Li Shun jumped into the air and kicked the horse thief in the chest. He just listened.
"Ouch."
Both the man and the horse fell to the ground. The yellow horse, which had lost its owner, howled and turned over and ran away regardless of the owner's comfort.
The horse thief stood up and pointed at Li Shundao with his teeth bared.
"Do you still know Shan DaGuan and DaZai? When we heard that Yang Mansion was traveling today, we wanted to intercept and kill Yang Jian, but we met you, a bitch like you. Since you are Yang Jian's brother, then you will do it for him. Let him die and take revenge on my elder brother."
Li Shun also cursed.
"Your grandma is a thief who can't be slaughtered. Now she's messing up the border. I think your elder brother's treatment is too light."
Li Shun couldn't speak at all. The horse thief angrily picked up Mo Dao and slashed it in the air, then brought it down on Li Shun's head. Fortunately, the cooked copper rod weighed 280 kilograms. Li Shun easily caught him with one move and the horse thief couldn't fight despite his strength. He used a choking hand to hit Li Shun's Adam's apple in an attempt to kill him with one blow.
"The Choking Hand? It's Yu Wenhu's unique skill."
The choking hand is extremely lethal. If you don't know how to break it, it will immediately vomit blood and choke to death if it hits the throat.
Fortunately, Li Shun, who had nimble hands and feet, dodged and dodged. He hooked his feet, pulled his shoulders, and then unloaded his fists to throw the horse thief into the air. He hit the horse thief with 80 minutes of strength with the ice-coated copper rod, only to hear a few crisp cracks of fractures. Then Li Shun punched the horse thief directly and flew more than 10 meters away.
The horse thief used his last breath of strength to stand up and when Li Shun wasn't paying attention, he slashed his arm with a knife. Li Shun took a few steps back and saw the soldiers coming from behind. The horse thief said angrily to the sky.
"Even if we die today, you will never be able to capture me. Brother Shan and younger brother Shan have failed to avenge your shame. Let me take the first step. You must always remember that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. Brother Shan and younger brother are gone."
The horse thief was covered in cuts and bruises, limping and running towards Yang Mansion's personal formation. Only a Panlong Guan Dao came out and struck the horse thief. The thief rotated 360 degrees without any blind angle and stood on the spot, his eyes dull as if frozen. There was no movement for a long time and soon he fell to the ground and lost his breath.
"Shan Yutong is a master who must avenge his enemies. We knew you would suffer this calamity today."
Yang Jian put away his sword.
"I didn't trust you two, so after you left, I followed you quietly all the way. Unexpectedly, something happened."
Several other horse thieves who rushed to rescue people saw this situation and quickly turned their horses to look into the wind and fled. Yang's soldiers quickly captured one of the horse thieves and escorted him to Li Shun and Yang Jian.
"Who asked you to assassinate my brother Li Shun? Where is Shan Yutong now?"
"Li Shun didn't want to kill any more innocent people in front of the Buddha, so he begged for mercy.
"Brother, the thief has been killed by you, so let's spare his life."
So the soldiers who had already exposed their identities in front of Ruosui turned to the carriage and greeted Ruosui in various native dialects.
"Oh, if you follow the layman, why don't you do it? Don't blame Brother Li Shun. We are afraid that your identity will be exposed and you will be unhappy. If you are not sick, none of these horse thieves will be your opponent."
Ruosui cried with joy when he saw these familiar faces sticking their heads into the carport.
"We're fine, why don't you go back quickly?"
On weekdays, when the soldiers were practicing in the Yang Mansion Courtyard, Ruosui would sometimes practice in a corner of the courtyard, so every soldier wanted to show off his skills in front of Ruosui.
At first they didn't know Ruosui's details, and they thought they were tall and mighty and could defeat a little girl. Then a timid one wanted to test him out and asked Yingdao.
"Mr. Yang, why don't you set up a ring for me to compete with Master Ruosui?"
As soon as the two of them stepped onto the ring, the soldier stepped forward with a look of disdain and pulled Ruosui and muttered in his heart when he saw that he was not moving at all.
"Is this Ruo Sui layman made of iron? Why can't we shake it?"
After three or four rounds, if he saw a flaw, the soldier fell down and lay on the ground before he could react. One of the burly soldiers shouted in dissatisfaction.
"He must have asked Ruosui to let us try it."
This soldier went up and stumbled down the ring before he could react, just like the one before. The soldiers had to be convinced.
Ruosui always wears a monk's robe in the courtyard on weekdays, so everyone calls her affectionately.
"If you follow a layman."
After getting on the road again, Ruosui said to Li Shun who was driving the car.
"They and Brother Yang are here. Why didn't we know anything about it beforehand?"
"Well, I want you to know from the beginning that you can still avoid being angry with us. Look at what happened just now, if it weren't for them and our brother Yang, we still wouldn't know how it would have ended."
If you follow the way.
"You tricked them all into coming here, so does our master know?"
"You are so stupid. If Brother Yang doesn't ask our master for his opinion on such a big matter, and if our young butler dares to bring so many people out of the Yang Mansion, wouldn't that be a rebellion?"
"But how much will it cost?"
"This is what makes Eldest Brother extraordinary. You see how frugal he and his sister-in-law are on weekdays. Even the two young masters wear ordinary patched clothes, but he is never stingy with the money he thinks should be spent."
"But we see you don't have much money with you. The purse hanging in the carriage is just some small coins."
Li Shun sighed.
"This world is not peaceful. Wealth should not be exposed. We have scattered it on each soldier."
Ruosui said with a girlish smile on her face.
"Your stick today really opened our eyes. When did your martial arts become so good?"
Ruosui lay in the carriage and touched the ice-cooked copper stick and changed the topic.
"Let us see that you are truly capable of everything. In your next life, you are not allowed to marry anyone else. I will marry you."
"You will suffer if you follow me. We have been an orphan since we were young and have never even seen our parents. I don't know what I will be like in the future as a person without a father or a mother."
Li Shun changed the topic and said.
"Don't you know that we are learning and selling this stick now?"
“What does it mean to learn now and sell now?”
"This stick job is a unique skill of Senior Brother Yang's family. You don't know, right? Senior Brother is nicknamed the Weapon King. There are no weapons in Class 18 that he doesn't know how to use. He taught us this stick technique." This is called learning now and selling now."
From that day on, the soldiers no longer shied away from Ruosui. They ate with them, went on trips together, practiced martial arts, and had a lot of fun. Along the way, Ruosui relieved a lot of loneliness and melancholy.
Sometimes the soldiers' movements were irregular and they would step forward to correct them.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, they finally arrived at Taihuai Town, Taihuai Town, at the foot of Mount Wutai. Mount Wutai is surrounded by five peaks: east, west, south, north and middle. These five peaks have a unique shape. Five pillars stand tall and towering in the clouds.
