Views:

In the early morning of the second day, there was a sound of footsteps outside the west wing of Yu Mansion.

In the vermilion corridor leading to the other courtyard, there are three people walking slowly towards this side.

The two walked side by side, one was an old man wearing a lotus crown and a gray robe, and the other was a heroic woman in a pale yellow palace attire.

Behind the two, followed by a girl dressed as a maid, carrying a three-tiered food box made of fragrant wood and vermilion lacquer in her hand.

The old man walked with his hands behind his back, his white eyebrows clustered lightly, his expression seemed a little displeased, his eyes were straight ahead, but his mind was clearly elsewhere.

The woman in the palace costume is not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although her figure has not yet fully grown, she looks very well-proportioned. Her black hair is pulled high, her facial features are beautiful, her brows are full of heroism, and her two eyes are as bright as stars. , it is forgetful.

In addition, some powder was applied on the woman's face, which made her originally fair and flawless cheeks have a touch of appropriate blush, so she looked particularly charming.

"Master Baishi, I'm really sorry to disturb your alchemy." The woman said with her eyebrows slightly lowered as she walked.

"It's okay to take a look, but the old man is a little puzzled. Why does the seventh lady want the old man to treat a stupid mortal?" The old man withdrew his thoughts after hearing the sound, his face still expressionless.

"The real person doesn't know something, this person yesterday..."

The woman in palace attire smiled slightly, and briefly talked about how Liu Shi stopped the horse in the street to save people yesterday.

The old Taoist rubbed his fingers lightly while listening, when he heard that Liu Shi stopped the Qingfeng horse in the mad rush with only one hand, his white eyebrows slightly raised.

"Since he is kind to Miss Seven, then this person is worthy of the old man's attention." After hearing this, the old man let go of his index finger and thumb, and said calmly.

The woman in palace costume smiled when she heard the words, and bowed slightly to give a salute.

The maid carried the food box a little nervously, and followed behind the two of them in an orderly manner without making a sound.

In the west wing, Liu Le'er, who had finished dressing and washing, was chatting with Liu Shi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, when suddenly she heard a knock on the door.

"Sister Le'er, my young lady has brought an immortal master to visit you." The maid at the side didn't wait for the young lady to signal, she immediately went forward and knocked on the door a few times, calling out in a low voice.

Liu Le'er stood up, did not rush to open the door, and asked with some doubts: "Who is your young lady?"

"Sister Le'er, it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice from outside the door, Liu Le'er blinked her eyes, looking a little puzzled.

After a little hesitation, she still walked forward and opened the door with a "squeak".

As soon as the two doors were opened inward, she smelled a faint smell of medicine, and then saw three people standing outside the door.

She first glanced at the old man to confirm that the smell of medicine came from this person, and then looked at the maid next to her, and found that it was Xiao Wu, the personal servant girl of Mr. Yu Qi whom she had seen yesterday.

When Liu Le'er's gaze finally fell on the woman in yellow palace attire with a slight smile on her face, she was startled for a moment, and then opened her mouth wide in shock.

"You are... Seventh Young Master!" Liu Le'er covered her mouth and shouted.

"It's me. Sister Le'er can call me Seventh Miss, or Seventh Sister." The woman in palace attire saw the girl's surprised expression and said with a smile.

"No wonder yesterday, I felt that Mr. Qi was a little..." Liu Le'er also smiled when he heard this.

"What's the matter?" Yu Qidai raised her eyebrows slightly.

"It's a bit... not like a man." Liu Le'er thought for a while before finding such a euphemism.

"Walking outside as a man can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. After a few years, Leer, when you grow up, you will understand." The woman in palace attire looked at Liu Leer's pretty face and said with a smile .

Liu Le'er heard the words, nodded half-understood, and let the three of them into the room.

"Sister Le'er, this is the fairy master I told you about, Master Baishi. Master, this is Liu Le'er, and the one sitting over there is her elder brother, Liu Shi." Seventh Miss turned her head slightly Body, gave up half of the old Taoist body, and introduced.

"I've seen Master Immortal Master." Liu Le'er had already guessed in her heart, Wen still felt a little bit in her heart, she hurriedly lowered her head, bowed her body and gave a salute, not daring to meet the old Taoist's eyes.

Liu Shi was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the few people who came in, without moving.

Immortal Baishi glanced at Liu Le'er indifferently, then moved his eyes to Liu Shi, walked to the front, then went around to the other side, looked carefully from top to bottom, and finally focused his eyes slightly Look at Liu Shi's eyebrows.

After watching for a while, the old Taoist closed his eyes, raised his palm, and suddenly pointed towards Liu Shi's brow with his two fingers together.

"ah… "

Le'er was startled when she saw this, and couldn't help exclaiming.

The outstretched fingers of the old Taoist froze suddenly, turned around, and glanced at her with displeasure.

"Sister Le'er, the real person is helping your brother to check, so don't make a fuss." Seventh Miss hurriedly pulled Liu Le'er and explained.

"I'm sorry, Master Immortal, I didn't do it on purpose..." Liu Le'er knew she was wrong, so she quickly apologized.

Hearing this, the old Taoist looked slightly relaxed, raised his palm again, and closed his eyes again to point at the center of Liu Shi's brow.

As he pointed his two fingers forward, a cyan light lit up between Liu Shi's eyebrows, and circles of circular ripples swayed from it, like ripples created when a stone was thrown into a lake.

After a while, the old Taoist let out a soft "Huh", retracted his fingers, and slowly opened his eyes.

"How is it? Can brother Shito be cured?" Liu Le'er asked hurriedly.

Master Baishi glanced at her sideways, but did not speak.

Yu Qi stepped forward to take Liu Le'er's hand, and patted the back of her hand lightly, signaling her not to worry.

Liu Le'er kept her mouth shut and stopped asking questions, but her eyes stayed on Liu Shi.

As if sensing Liu Le'er's gaze, Liu Shi moved his eyes to her, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and grinned, revealing a hint of a smile.

After pondering for a moment, Master Baishi flipped his palm, and a somewhat old bronze round mirror appeared out of nowhere in his palm.

"go"

He let out a soft drink, a blue light flashed on the round mirror, and immediately floated up leisurely, and flew to the top of the willow stone, hovering motionless.

I saw Zhen Baishi chanting in a low voice, and his raised fingers were also pointing and drawing in the void, as if he was writing some secret runes.

After a while, he suddenly stopped his fingers and pointed at the round mirror.

The suspended round mirror immediately shook violently, and a layer of blue light shone on the rough surface of the mirror, which became smoother.

Liu Le'er stared at the mirror nervously, feeling that there seemed to be some changes in the blue light, as if some blurred images were about to appear.

However, after waiting for a while, the blue light on the mirror surface was still blurry, and nothing could be seen clearly.

At this moment, Liu Shi seemed to dislike the round mirror covering his head, he raised his hand and waved it as if to repel mosquitoes. Although he missed the round mirror, the blue light on the mirror flickered and became more and more chaotic. .

"Impossible, this is..."

Immediately, Immortal Baishi shook his sleeves and swung at the ancient mirror. The round mirror immediately flew back like a baby swallow returning to its nest, and disappeared into his hands.

Liu Le'er looked at this scene, and a concerned look appeared on her little face.

"The real person can see what's wrong. I wonder if there is a way to cure it?" Seventh Miss couldn't help asking.

"A number of five to five may not be impossible, it's just..." After a moment of cloudy and uncertain face, Baishi Zhenren looked a little hesitant.

"I begging Master Immortal to cure my brother." Liu Le'er was overjoyed, and begged quickly.

"If the real person has a good prescription, please cure Liushi, and I will bear any expenses." Seventh Miss also said.

When Liu Le'er heard this, she couldn't help but look at Yu Qi with a look of gratitude in her eyes.

"Since Miss Seven has opened her mouth, the old man should do his best. But as I said earlier, his spirit is closed for some reason, and it is not easy to reopen it. Only by setting up a spirit summoning circle will he be able to achieve something." It is possible to be cured, but the old man needs to be alone in the quiet room and do his best." After looking at the tall young man for a long time, Baishi Zhenren replied slowly as if he had made up his mind.

"When Master Immortal Master is treating you, can Le'er be by his side?" Liu Le'er hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"What are you doing by the side? Get in the way. Why, you little one doesn't believe in old ways?" Baishi asked with a sudden increase in tone.

Liu Le'er's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly waved her hands: "Don't dare, Le'er just wants to stay with elder brother, and just watch from the side, so I promise not to disturb Master Xianshi."

"It's up to you. The spirit summoning circle is unusual, and there are still some preparations to be made, so the old man will go back first." Master Baishi said lightly, then looked at Yu Qi seriously and said.

"Thank you, sir." Seventh Miss bowed and saluted.

Liu Le'er also hurriedly bowed and bowed to Master Baishi, but before she could straighten up, the old man had already left the room and left on his own.

After Immortal Baishi left, the lady in palace costume didn't stay too long, but just comforted Liu Le'er not to worry too much about Liu Shi's illness, and lived here with peace of mind, so she also took Xiao Wu and left.
