After the new year, it's February in a blink of an eye.
This time for her birthday, only Hui Niang rushed over and ordered a bowl of birthday noodles for her.
Lu Mingshu was already very happy. After her birthday, she would be eight years old, and she could start practicing martial arts.
…
A bowl of medicinal soup was placed on the stone table, and the whole stone room was filled with a strange fragrance.
This bowl is Kaimai Decoction.
Lu Mingshu was a little nervous. For this bowl of soup, she squatted in the kitchen for two months, lit a fire, and controlled the fire...but she learned how to make soup.
This bowl of soup and medicine has almost used up all her savings, if it doesn't work, it will be troublesome.
"It's definitely possible, it's definitely possible." Lu Mingshu murmured to himself. This bowl of decoction was decided by the seniors in Tianlun through discussion, how could it not work
She let out a breath, picked up the bowl tremblingly, and downed it in one breath.
Going back to the bed and sitting down, there was no reaction at first, and when Lu Mingshu suspected that the medicinal soup had failed, he suddenly felt numb three inches below his navel, as if he had been pricked by something, and then began to ache.
It is numb and painful at first, and after a while, it stings like a needle prick. The stinging pain became more intense and more intense.
A drop of sweat slid down from the corner of Lu Mingshu's forehead, and then a second drop. Soon, her whole body was covered in sweat, as if she had been fished out of the water.
"Woo..." Lu Mingshu gritted his teeth, tearing from the pain. However, thinking of her mother and grandpa, she desperately endured it.
It is said in the book that if the closed meridian is forcibly opened, it will definitely cause pain. This is the only way to open the meridian, and it must be endured.
The pain began to spread, torso, limbs, head... Her heart was beating like a drum, and she was sweating like pulp.
Her fingers twitched slightly, and she bit the cloth strip, numb from the pain.
The meridian is stretched inch by inch, the pain is as strong as the medicine effect.
In the boundless pain, Lu Mingshu could only endure it forcefully, muttering something in his mouth, trying his best to ignore the pain.
But pain is not transferred by people's will, it should still hurt.
I don't know how long it took, when she felt that she was dying of pain, suddenly, her whole body convulsed, as if something was agitating, trying to forcibly break her body open.
"Ah—" Did the meridians explode
Lu Mingshu only felt a force burst out of his body, his whole body was torn apart, and he lost consciousness with a loud cry.
Her shout came out, and Liu Jizhen came out from the next door, kicked up and broke in the door.
In a daze, Lu Mingshu woke up and found that he seemed to be soaked in water, surrounded by the fragrance of medicine.
"Don't move." Came a deep voice.
Lu Mingshu called vaguely: "Master?"
A big palm covered the top of her head, and her usual indifferent voice, with a little emotion: "You want to open the pulse, why don't you say it?"
She was confused, and said in a low voice: "Master... I don't want to trouble you..."
Lu Mingshu's small body was huddled in the huge bathtub, which was filled with hot air and exuded a strong medicinal fragrance.
Liu Jizhen stood aside, his face hidden in the shadows.
Lu Mingshu seemed to have had a long, long dream. In the dream, there were colorful lights and shadows at first, and then it was darkness that was extremely blood-colored. Negative emotions overwhelmed her, and she couldn't tell if it was pain or sadness. Unknowingly, tears streamed down her face, but she was still muttering that she would never cry after she said it.
In the darkness, someone touched her head and sighed softly.
So in her dream, the warmth of the palm was kept.
I don't know how long she slept, but when she woke up from a dream, the sun came in through the hole and shone on her window.
There was silence in the stone room.
Lu Mingshu moved his stiff hands and feet, and found himself sitting in the bathtub.
The water was still warm, but the medicinal fragrance was gone.
She was hesitating whether to get up when the door creaked open.
"Master!"
Liu Jizhen put down the hot water, came over and patted her head: "It's all right."
Lu Mingshu stared at him blankly.
Liu Jizhen sighed in his heart: "Changed clothes and came out to see me."
"Oh… "
The door was closed again, and Lu Mingshu sat there for a while, until the water became cold, before getting up to wash and change clothes.
After leaving the Tongtian Pavilion, Liu Jizhen sat on the big rock in front of the hut, facing the sun.
"Master..." Lu Mingshu lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Liu Jizhen turned around.
"Do you know your mistake?"
Lu Mingshu felt guilty and short of breath: "Yes."
"Wrong. Where?"
"I... shouldn't bother Master."
Liu Jizhen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. It was he who said it himself, don't bother me, it's not easy to blame her now. Then he sighed: "That's all. Let me teach you that the opening of the meridian is very important, how can there be no one to protect it? Do you know that if I didn't find out at the time, maybe your meridian will be cut off, and you will become a useless person like a teacher?"
Lu Mingshu was taken aback, why didn't anyone in Tianlun tell her
She didn't know that this was common sense. Those people in Tianlun never thought about it, so she would not know.
"I don't know where you got the secret recipe for opening the pulse. You dare to take it alone with such an overbearing medicine!" Liu Jizhen was also taken aback. Fortunately, he found out in time that he still had some old belongings around him, so he took the medicine in time Steady her.
Speaking of which, he was secretly surprised. Master Yuwen said that Lu Mingshu's bones are good, but he didn't expect to be so good. If it was another person, with such a strong effect of the medicine, I'm afraid it would have exploded.
What he didn't know was that Lu Mingshu's body had been washed by the alternating light of the sky, and it was far from what ordinary people could compare.
"I'm sorry, Master..."
Liu Jizhen shook his head: "You have opened your pulse as you wished, but your spirit is exhausted, so take a good rest for three to five days."
Lu Mingshu was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Really?"
"Yeah. I made herbal tea with you, let's drink it first."
"Thank you, Master." Lu Mingshu happily ran in.
Liu Jizhen looked at her back with complicated eyes. This kind of aptitude is not much worse than he was back then. Is it true that she should be taught by herself
He wondered if he should find a good place for her. Because of her embarrassing status, it is not easy to abuse favors, so she can be sent to the lower court. Seeing her outstanding aptitude now, I can't help but be moved to love talents. He has a good relationship with several Supreme Elders, if Lu Mingshu can live up to his expectations, he may not be unable to please others...
Lu Mingshu didn't know that Master had changed his mind again and wanted to send her away. After the pulse was opened, her body became much more flexible, and her eyes and ears were clear. She was very happy.
After resting obediently for a few days, Bixi Valley had a visitor.
"Master!" She was holding the newly stewed soup, eagerly wanting to ask Master to taste it. As soon as she went out, she saw an extra person on the big rock where Master often sat.
This person looks like a young man, but with white eyebrows and white hair, his aura is awe-inspiring, like a wisp of winter snow.
Standing behind him was a young boy, Gao Xiang who helped her that day.
As soon as she came out, all three eyes fell on her.
Lu Mingshu suddenly saw an outsider, and was taken aback, not knowing what to call him.
Luckily, Liu Jizhen spoke up: "Come here, I have met Master Uncle."
