After going through untold hardships, Yuan Weixiu and his party finally arrived at Shenshui Palace.
Shui Yiyi looked at the looming entrance of Shenshui Palace not far away, shed tears of excitement, immediately jumped out of the carriage regardless of everything, and ran forward, shouting as he ran: "Dad! I'm back, Dad! I'm back!"
In the carriage, Ouyang Yi closed his eyes in pain, what should come, finally came.
Yuan Weixiu frowned slightly, but thinking of Shui Yi, a little girl's family, who had been away from home for so long, and finally returned home, she was excited for a while. In fact, he was a little excited and finally arrived at Shenshui Palace. With the help of Shenshui Palace, their road to seek medicine can go more smoothly.
Yuan Weixiu thought so, and excitedly drove the carriage forward, but was stopped at the entrance. "Who is coming?"
Yuan Weixiu frowned, did Shui Yiyi get so excited that he didn't even explain this? "We are friends of your young lady."
Several guards looked at each other in blank dismay. When the eldest lady passed by just now, she didn't say this. But the eldest lady seemed to have gotten off their carriage. Perhaps, it is really the eldest lady's friend.
The guards discussed and waved the chess pieces to the opposite side.
After the suspension bridge was lowered, Yuan Weixiu drove the carriage and walked forward slowly.
While walking, Yuan Weixiu looked at the surrounding terrain. The so-called Shenshui Palace is actually more like a small city. The city is surrounded by water on all sides. The river is about seven or eight feet wide. The only link is this suspension bridge.
After entering Shenshui City, Yuan Weixiu didn't see Shui Yiyi. He intended to visit the owner of Shenshui Palace directly, but thinking that he had been through hardships all the way, it was not appropriate to just go there. So he found an inn in the city and stayed there.
After washing and changing, Yuan Weixiu nodded in satisfaction, "Yi'er, as a teacher, I will take you to visit your future father-in-law."
Ouyang Yi smiled wryly, the future father-in-law, hehe, the attitude of one by one has already explained everything, master, haven't you seen it yet? "Master, forget it!"
"How can it be forgotten? This is etiquette. Besides, looking for Black Jade Intermittent Ointment requires the help of Shenshui Palace!" Yuan Weixiu said seriously. Along the way, there were many people who helped him, but most of them only provided him with money and food. If there were more, there would be nothing. Yuan Weixiu knew that it was impossible to find the Black Jade Ointment by himself, and Shenshui Palace was his hope. Absolutely not.
Ouyang Yi also knew the reason why Yuan Weixiu insisted on visiting Shenshui Palace, which made him even more ashamed, it was all for him.
The result was exactly as Ouyang Yi guessed, the guard at the door didn't let them in at all. Even if Yuan Weixiu repeatedly stated that they are friends of your young lady, it won't work.
"The old palace lord passed away, the new palace lord succeeded, and no one else is allowed to enter. Letting you enter the city is already for the sake of the eldest lady, and you still want to enter! Hurry up!" The guard said sternly.
Yuan Weixiu has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, but he has never received this kind of treatment, and he is about to get angry immediately.
At this time, a little girl suddenly came out of the door, "Brother Yang, they are really Missy's friends, Missy wants me to talk to them and give them something. You are so flexible, let me go out for a while!" "The little maid said and raised the burden in her hand.
The guard took a closer look and found that it was indeed the maid next to the eldest lady. He checked the contents of the bag again, and after making sure that there was nothing in it, he nodded in relief.
The round-faced little girl quickly ran out and pulled Yuan Weixiu aside, "Hero Yuan, our lady asked me to give this to you. It contains two thousand taels of silver, some big woolen clothes, some food, and A map, you can walk out of this desert quickly by following the map, even where there is a water source, it is also marked on it. As for the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment you are looking for, the lady also asked for you, it has indeed disappeared for nearly a hundred years. The lady even asked Mrs. Tai to inquire about it. Mrs. Tai came from the Western Regions, but she didn't know the whereabouts of the black jade discontinuous ointment. The possibility is very small, I advise you to give up."
The round-faced little girl chattered very quickly, but Yuan Weixiu's face became more and more gloomy, "Where's Shui Yiyi?"
The round-faced little girl sighed, "Hero Yuan, you have self-knowledge, Lingtu is like this now, how can he be worthy of our eldest lady. Now that the old palace lord has passed away, the successor palace lord is our eldest lady's half-brother." Brother, our eldest lady is also in trouble. Yuan Daxia, you are a hero who has been famous for a long time in the world, so don't make things difficult for our lady, okay?"
Yuan Weixiu was about to explode, "That's not what she said when she and my disciple spent the month before last to pledge each other!"
Seeing that Yuan Weixiu was ignorant, the round-faced maid was a little unhappy, "Why don't you have any self-knowledge..."
Yuan Weixiu couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to teach this arrogant little girl a lesson. In the carriage, Ouyang Yi's voice came, "Master, forget it! Let's go!"
Yuan Weixiu listened to the faint despair in Ouyang Yi's words, and his heart ached terribly. Thanks to him saying that a friend in need is a friend, it turns out that Shui Yiyi is such a realistic woman! He was wrong!
The round-faced little maid then calmed down, "That's right. Here, there is another thing that my lady asked me to return to Mr. Ouyang. She said that in this life, I have nothing to do with Mr. Ouyang. Form a marriage alliance again. In addition, my young lady asked the young master to return the jade pendant that the young lady gave you. It’s nothing else, the jade pendant was left to the young lady by the young lady’s mother. The young lady is very reluctant to part with it.”
Ouyang Yi endured the pain in his heart, "Master!"
Yuan Weixiu knew what he meant, and got into the carriage with red eyes.
"Master, it's on my chest." Ouyang Yi said softly.
Yuan Weixiu took off the jade pendant, looked at Ouyang Yi's reddened eyes, "Yi'er, don't be sad, such a realistic woman is not your good match, don't worry, the master will heal your injury, and then find you someone who is better than her." A thousand times better woman!"
Ouyang Yi smiled sadly and did not speak. Is he still okay
Yuan Weixiu wiped away tears, got out of the carriage, stuffed the jade pendant with Ouyang Yi's body temperature into the hand of the round-faced maid, then snatched the jewelry box from the maid's hand, took out the hairpin inside, and with a forceful hand, He directly rolled the valuable hairpin into a ball, threw it on the side of the road, and then drove the carriage to the outside of the city.
The round-faced little girl saw that he didn't take the bag prepared by the young lady, so she quickly chased after him and threw the bag onto the carriage, "Don't forget this!"
Yuan Weixiu didn't even look at it, so he lifted the burden to the ground with a horsewhip, and said with a disdainful face, "Thank you, Miss Shui, for your kindness! But it's not necessary. Landscapes and rivers meet each other, and Yuan Mou is here to wish Miss Shui her wish, Find a good husband as soon as possible! From then on, I will be happy and healthy, with many children and blessings!"
Then he drove away in a carriage.
Seeing that Yuan Weixiu was ungrateful, the round-faced maid felt that this person was a little too ignorant, after all, it was Miss' kindness!
The round-faced little girl picked up the bag, patted the ashes on it, turned and went back.
Shui Yiyi was pacing back and forth in the room at this time, doing so made her feel uncomfortable, after all, she really liked Ouyang Yi, and Ouyang Yi also met all the conditions for a future husband in her heart, with strong martial arts, and listening to her if. Unfortunately, things change. This liking is not enough to support her to abandon everything and serve a useless person.
Therefore, she could only choose to be sorry to Ouyang Yi.
"Miss!"
"How is it? Have you packed the things?" Shui Yiyi's excited eyes calmed down after seeing the bundle in the maid's hand.
"Miss..." The little maid wanted to say something else.
But Shui Yi waved his hand, "Okay, I understand, you don't need to say any more, you go down, I want to be alone."
The little maid let out an oh, put the burden and jade pendant on the table, took it to the door, and left.
Shui took the jade pendants one by one, and it seemed that Ouyang Yi's body temperature still remained on it. She recalled the night when she and Ouyang Yi made love, how beautiful the moonlight was that night. However, what is more beautiful than the moonlight is her mood.
The good old days seem to have happened yesterday. But immediately, Shui Yiyi's eyes became firm, don't blame her for being heartless. People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves. She is also an ordinary person, she will not jump into a fire pit knowing it is a fire.
Although her father is dead, she is still the eldest lady of Shenshui Palace, and she does not leave the pavilion every day. Don't even think about marrying a half-sister. For the sake of fame, or to appease those congregants, the stepmother and younger brother will definitely find a good marriage for her. No matter who you marry, it's better than being with Ouyang Yi.
She is just a vulgar and vulgar person among all living beings, who knows how to choose what is best for herself. So, don't blame her!
Shui Yiyi repeated this to himself in his heart.
Time flies, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye.
In a private house in Gusu, Li Su was picking peach blossoms from a tree with his grandson in his arms, while Ah Qing sat on the porch with a big belly, smiling and watching.
Yuen Long strode outside.
"What's the matter? Haven't heard from them yet?" Li Su wanted to hand over his grandson to the wet nurse, but the grandson refused and hugged Li Su's neck acting like a spoiled child. Seeing this, Li Su asked the nurse to go down and continued to hold his grandson.
But Yuan Long was afraid that his mother would be tired, so he stretched out his hand and hugged his son, "There is news, it is said that they are still in the Western Regions, and someone persuaded them to come back, but Yuan Weixiu refused and insisted on continuing to look for it." Maybe it was the great martial arts these years With increasing fame in the rivers and lakes and a happy family, Yuen Long has opened up a lot to those things in the past.
Seeing that Yuan Weixiu's master and apprentice had almost disappeared in the rivers and lakes, Yuen Long was moved with compassion. In the final analysis, Ouyang Yi's misfortune was also due to their mother and son. So I discussed with Li Su and wanted to find out the whereabouts of the two of them. If there is anything that can help, I will help.
Li Su also agreed. Because Li Su knew that even if Ouyang Yi had another adventure and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, it would not affect Yuen Long anymore. In fact, in the past few years, young and promising young knights in the martial arts world have emerged one after another, but none of them will affect Yuen Long. It doesn't refer to martial arts, but to state of mind.
Yuen Long is now really strong.
"Oh, it's all the same. If it were you, I would do it no matter how bleak the hope is." Li Su sighed, "Has the Black Jade Ointment really disappeared in the Jianghu?"
Ah Qing listened for a long time with her stomach in her hands, then tilted her head and asked, "What exactly is Black Jade Ointment?"
Yuen Long smiled and explained to her the use of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment in detail, and Ah Qing suddenly realized, "Ah, isn't this the black glue used to treat wounds for cattle and sheep in our village!"
Yuen Long looked cautious, "Ah Ching, what did you say?"
"If the Black Jade Intermittent Paste you said can heal broken bones, then it is. However, before using this black glue, the bones must be crushed again, and then the black glue should be used again to be effective." Ah Qing said earnestly. Said. "Ours are all for livestock. Grandma Liu's farm cattle were attacked by wild animals that year. When she ran away, she hit her leg, and the leg bones were all broken. It was cured with this black glue. It turns out that people can also use it. ah!"
Yuen Long and Li Su looked at each other in blank dismay, this is true, there is nowhere to find them when they have broken through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here! However, no one thought that the holy medicine for healing wounds more than a hundred years ago would now be used in the Miao village to treat the bones of livestock.
Yuen Long didn't have time to sigh, "Ah Qing, do you have this vinyl on you?"
Ah Qing shook her head honestly, "No. But we have them in the village, I can write to ask my elder brother to send me some."
Yuen Long thought for a while, "I don't need your elder brother to give it away, I will get it myself. We have been married for five years, and your elder brother has only seen me once, and your father and mother have not seen me yet."
Ah Qing jumped up, "Really? Can I go with you too?"
Yuen Long smiled and stroked her stomach, "Can you travel long distances with your current appearance? When the child is born, our family will go back to Miao Village together."
Ah Qing was a little disappointed, "Okay!"
Yuan Long said to Li Su, "I'll send someone to send a letter to Yuan Weixiu to let them come back. Mother, do you want..." to see him
Li Su shook his head, "No need." She had already said that she and Yuan Weixiu would not be together. So, there is no need to meet again.
Yuen Long nodded, "Okay, I understand, I will arrange it." He understood what Mother meant, and it meant that he didn't intend to meet.
Yuen Long quickly made arrangements. First, he asked the beggar gang to send a letter to Yuan Weixiu, asking him to bring Ouyang Yi back from the Western Regions. He found a medicine that could cure Ouyang Yi, and they met in Liangshan.
Then he rushed to the Miao village without stopping.
Three months later, Yuan Long finally met Yuan Weixiu's master and apprentice in Liangshan. When he saw them for the first time, Yuan Long almost didn't recognize them. Yuan Weixiu was ragged and unkempt. Ouyang Yi was better than Yuan Weixiu, at least he was clean . It can be seen that under such difficult conditions, the first thing Yuan Weixiu thought of was Ouyang Yi.
Seeing Yuen Long, Yuan Weixiu immediately asked, "You said that there is medicine that can cure Yi'er, is it true or not?"
"After you wash, change and settle down, can we talk about it in detail?" Yuen Long said.
Yuan Weixiu didn't have the mood to do this at this time, but he looked back at Ouyang Yi, thinking that Yi'er had suffered a lot along the way, so he nodded in agreement.
Yuen Long booked a few rooms in the inn, and arranged for someone to bring several buckets full of hot water in, wait for the two of them to take a good bath, and then ate a hot meal.
Yuan Weixiu wiped the corner of his mouth, and looked at Yuen Long impatiently, "What's the matter with the medicine you mentioned?"
Ouyang Yi also looked at Yuen Long expectantly, if possible, no one would want to lie on the bed all day like a living dead.
Yuen Long thought about it and said, "I don't know if this is the legendary black jade discontinuous ointment, but I have investigated and its medicinal effect is the same as that of the black jade discontinuous ointment in medical books. However, this The ointment is used by the Miao Village to set bones for livestock. Because I was in a hurry, I didn't experiment on the human body, so I wonder if you would like to try it?"
Yuan Weixiu's expression ranged from full of hope, to disappointment, to hesitation. To be honest, he didn't know whether he should give it a try.
"Yi'er, what do you mean?" Yuan Weixiu couldn't make a decision and asked Ouyang Yi.
"Master, I want to give it a try! Even if there is only a ten thousandth chance, I will try it! Master, I don't want to lie on the bed like a cripple!" Ouyang Yi said firmly, "Anyway, the worst result Can it be worse than it is now?"
After thinking for a while, Yuan Weixiu said, "Didn't you say that this medicine has never been used on humans? I'll come, use it for me first, and then give it to Yi'er!"
Both Yuen Long and Ouyang Yi were a little shocked when they heard the words, Ouyang Yi naturally refused, the master has done enough for him, he can't let the master suffer like this again!
Yuen Long did not expect Yuan Weixiu to do this for Ouyang Yi, he said in a deep voice, "Have you thought it through? Are you really going to do this?"
Yuan Weixiu nodded.
"No, I don't agree! Absolutely not! Master, you can't do this!" Ouyang Yi objected.
Fearing that Yuen Long would object, Yuan Weixiu was so cruel that he directly pinched the wrist bone of his left hand with his right hand. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, but he endured the pain, "Do you think this is okay? Do you want to pinch it again?" Broken a little?"
Yuen Long took a deep breath, "Okay. I'll give you medicine first, and the bones will heal in about a month." Then, he took out a wooden box three inches long, two inches high and one inch wide from his chest, Open the lid, a fresh fragrance hits.
Yuan Weixiu endured the pain, "Is that all? Is it enough? If not, give me less medicine."
Yuen Long sighed helplessly, his biological father and son were probably nothing more than that. Forget it, didn't he not care a long time ago? "I have already figured out the formula of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment on the way here, and collected a lot of medicinal materials along the way. One month is enough for me to make a new Black Jade Intermittent Ointment. Will be better than this!"
Yuan Weixiu's hanging heart finally fell. He had completely forgotten the pain in his wrist, but when he saw Yuan Lang's handsome face, he suddenly came to his senses, and it took him a long time to mumble and ask, "Your mother? Are you ok?"
While preparing the medicine, Yuen Long said without raising his head, "My mother is very good, she is happy with her grandchildren, and she lives a carefree life."
"Are you married? Have a child? Great! What's the name of the child?" Yuan Weixiu said in surprise.
"The eldest son Yuan Shuxuan, the second son I plan to let him and the master's surname be Li, the name is Shu Xuan." Yuen Long motioned Yuan Weixiu to sit down, and then put medicine on his wrist, because his wrist was a new injury, so it can be avoided. The steps of smashing and reconnecting are performed. It can be faster too.
Yuan Weixiu opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time.
But Ouyang Yi defended the master, "You are the son of the master, and your son is the grandson of the master, shouldn't it be the master's surname?"
Yuen Long said with a smile: "Do you still think that blood relationship is so important? Although you two are masters and apprentices, you are as close as father and son. My father and I are the same. In the future, your child can have his surname? "
my child? Ouyang Yi laughed at himself, "I don't plan to get married, master, if you don't mind, I will adopt a child with your surname in the future, okay?"
Yuan Weixiu was silent for a long time after listening to Yuen Long's words. He had to admit that maybe what Yuen Long said was right, sometimes blood relationship really doesn't matter that much. As for whose surname it is, what does it matter? A name is just a code name.
Yuan Weixiu smiled, "It's fine if you're happy, and it doesn't matter if you don't get married. It's the same for us master and apprentice to go out in the rivers and lakes, punish rape and eliminate evil. However, if you are happy, it's the same to accept an apprentice." No son, apprentice is the same Can retire.
Perhaps this is the fate of their master and apprentice!
Yuen Long lowered his head and smiled slightly, but did not speak.
A month later, Yuan Weixiu's wrist was back to normal without being affected at all. He was very happy, it proved that the medicine was indeed black jade discontinuous ointment, and Yi'er could recover.
But Ouyang Yi's situation is more complicated than Yuan Weixiu's. He needs to shatter the healed wound again, and then apply medicine to bone.
Although the process was very painful, Ouyang Yi gritted his teeth without saying a word, and forcibly resisted. This tenacity made Yuen Long admire him when he saw it.
Three months later, the bone injuries in Ouyang Yi's limbs have completely healed. Next, as long as he persists in exercising, one day he will be able to return to normal and walk freely.
Yuen Long also bid farewell, "I should go back. It's almost six months since Shu Xuan, and I, a father, haven't seen him yet!"
Yuan Weixiu had mixed feelings in his heart, he nodded indiscriminately, not knowing what to say, and finally stuffed something in Yuen Long's hands indiscriminately, "You are fine. I..." In the end, without saying a word, he turned head away. Since the choice has already been made, why bother to continue. If he had thought about this earlier, perhaps all these things would not have happened.
However, it's not too late to think about it now.
Yuen Long looked down, and in his hands were two longevity locks, one old and one new.
Yuen Long smiled slightly, put the longevity lock in his arms, and rode away.
Many years later, Yuen Long, the owner of Tianji Pavilion, rearranged the list of martial arts masters, and he himself was not included in order to avoid suspicion. But no one in the martial arts world dares to underestimate him, and the Tianji Pavilion that he built to know the world's affairs.
In the list of martial arts masters ranked by Tianji Pavilion, martial arts is the highest, and Jiang Rong, the leader of the Demon Cult, ranks first. This person defeated the ten elders of the Kunlun Sect with his own strength before, and became famous in the first battle.
And Ouyang Yi, who had been missing for a long time in Jianghu, was also on the list of masters, ranking fifth. This surprised many people.
Among them, the most surprising one was Shui Yiyi. Under the arrangement of her stepmother and younger brother, she married the young owner of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. She can be regarded as a young hero. With the backing of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, which is based in the Jianghu with the mechanism formation, it can be regarded as her wish.
It's just that not long after the marriage, Shui Yiyi discovered that her husband was greedy and lustful, and had a lot of domestic pets. At the beginning, because of the relationship between Shenshui Palace, her husband was still scruples, but later, seeing that Shui Yiyi and Shenshui Palace were not close, her husband began to have no scruples.
Shui was exhausted from dealing with one woman after another, physically and mentally exhausted. He couldn't even save the child. Twenty years of marriage left her exhausted and a stupid daughter!
At this time, Shui Yiyi learned that Ouyang Yi had entered the master list and was ranked fifth, so he couldn't help feeling ashamed and regretful. If she had known today, she should have persisted. now······
Shui Yiyi later approached Ouyang Yi, wanting to continue his relationship. She had inquired that Ouyang Yi hadn't been married for so many years, and had no heirs. Apart from Yuan Weixiu, he had just taken in a new apprentice. She thought that Ouyang Yi probably hadn't forgotten her either.
For this reason, Shui Yiyi put on the clothes she wore when she and Ouyang Yi were dating. Although it was a bit tight, looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that she was still as beautiful as ever.
She has imagined countless times what it will be like when she meets brother Yi again.
But she never thought that she had prepared for a long time with full of anticipation, but when they actually met, Ouyang Yi seemed to ignore her, ignoring the affectionate expression on her face, and walked directly past her.
Shui Yiyi's eyes widened in disbelief, just about to ask why. But I heard the young man next to Ouyang Yi say in a contemptuous tone, "Master, look how strange that woman is. She will be a lot older next year, and she still wears pink clothes, which don't fit well, and her back is broken. It's ridiculous. .”
Shui Yi was struck by lightning all of a sudden, his face was red, he couldn't take it anymore, and he ran away.
Under the setting sun, Ouyang Yi looked helplessly at his apprentice, "Yuan Shang, you're messing around again."
The young man named Yuan Shang smiled proudly, he just didn't like this kind of woman who betrayed her promises and abandoned them! Hmph, when Master needed her most, she ran away. Now the master has stood up again, and she is here again. Cut, don't look at what you look like now!
"Master, let's go, Master is still waiting for my wine!" Yuan Shang smiled slyly and ran forward first.
Ouyang Yi followed helplessly. Both he and the master are straight-forward, why did this kid learn to be so clever and weird.
In Tianji Pavilion, Yuen Long looked at the note brought by the carrier pigeon and smiled, "File it!"
Yuan Shuxuan walked over with a smile, "Father, there is news about grandma."
"Oh? Bring it here!" Yuen Long said excitedly.
"Grandmother and mother went to Ryukyu, and they plan to visit Java. They said they would bring us gifts, and they won't come back this year for the New Year." Yuan Shuxuan said.
Yuen Long was a little disappointed, and everyone's hearts were wild.
"Don't worry, father, Shu Xuan and Shu Yi are following." Yuan Shuxuan comforted him thinking that his father was worried about his grandmother's safety.
Yuen Long looked at Yuan Shuxuan, "You are not too young anymore, you have almost mastered the affairs of Tianji Pavilion, I should too..."
"Father, don't you want to let go of your hands? This is not possible. The Tianji Pavilion cannot do without you. Without you in charge, all those ghosts and monsters will emerge. Not to mention, what if the pair of devil brothers and sisters come? That's all for Jiang Rong, that Jiang Qiao has been coveting his son's beauty!" Jiang Rong is the biggest enemy of Tianji Pavilion, and he will provoke him every now and then, sometimes when he wins, but more often when he loses. There is also that Jiang Qiao, every time he comes, he will look at his father with that kind of obsessive eyes, and when he is old, he will panic when he looks at him! Yuan Shuxuan tried to reassure his father. We can't run away one by one, leaving him alone here bitterly!
"Why are you so stupid? My father has taught you for so many years, and I can't even beat Jiang Rong. Forget about being stupid! How long do you want me to guard for you? I'm old, okay?" Yuen Long said angrily .
"Hehe, dad, don't say that, you look like my brother, and you can last for another few decades. When your grandson grows up, you just hand over the Tianji Pavilion to him .” Yuan Shuxuan said with a chuckle.
Yuen Long was annoyed for the ten thousandth time, why did he set up this shit Tianji Pavilion in a daze, but in the end it became his drag!
"What are you looking at, don't hurry up to practice martial arts! It's okay to be stupid, but don't be more diligent! Tell you, I don't have time to take care of your son, and I will give you another five years. After five years, I will definitely leave!" Yuan Lang stared at his son, turned around and went in to write a reply.
Yuan Shuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, five years is five years, as long as he doesn't leave now.
In other words, shouldn't I call my two younger brothers back? Why do I practice martial arts all day long, and the two of them can travel around in the name of companionship and protection
Yuan Shuxuan thought so, and planned to go back and write a letter, even if he recalled one of them.
