Chapter 52: Youthful mind

Views:

Although Lingyanzi is a few years older than Nanfeng, she is not tall and has a light body. It is not difficult for Nanfeng to carry her. At the critical moment of escaping, he has endless strength and runs four kilometers in one breath carrying Lingyanzi. Five miles later, we reached the edge of the woods. When we turned around, we didn't see the flower picker following us. Nanfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, tilted his head and said, "Hey, are you okay?"

Lingyanzi had never spoken before, but when he heard Nanfeng ask, he whispered, "Put me down."

Nanfeng looked around, found a grassless flat area, squatted down and put down Lingyanzi.

Lingyanzi's acupuncture point was sealed, and he was not allowed to stand, so he fell to the ground with weakness.

Nanfeng didn't dare to look back. He was running with Lingyanzi on his back. He could feel Lingyanzi's hakama slipping down again. Her waist rope was torn off by the flower picking thief, and her hakama couldn't be worn. If he turned back now, he would definitely fall again. He will see something that he wants to see but is afraid to see.

Since he never looked back, Nanfeng didn't know what Lingyanzi's expression was. He could only hear Lingyanzi's rapid breathing.

"This... this... I'm all here to save you, but you can't repay kindness with hatred." Nanfeng was worried that Lingyanzi would repay kindness with hatred.

"I know, thank you." Lingyanzi's voice came from behind.

As soon as he heard Lingyanzi's willingness to thank him, Nanfeng's heart suddenly lightened. He looked at the Taoist robe on his body, then lifted up the Taoist robe and looked at his middle coat, but it didn't work. He couldn't tear it open without a knife or scissors.

In desperation, he had to take off his waist rope.

"What are you doing?" Lingyanzi asked in confusion.

Nanfeng didn't answer. He unfolded the waist rope, pulled it in two from the middle, tied one piece himself, took the other one in his hand, and handed it to you with his backhand, "Here you are with the waist rope."

Lingyanzi did not answer or accept.

After waiting for a while but not seeing Lingyanzi come to get it, Nanfeng remembered that Lingyanzi was not allowed to move at this time, and asked helplessly, "What should I do?"

After a brief silence, Lingyanzi whispered, "I can't move, please help me tie it up."

"You asked me to help you, so I turned around." Nanfeng turned around slowly.

"Close your eyes." Lingyanzi was still shy after all.

Nanfeng closed his eyes when he heard the sound, and fumbled to help Lingyanzi lift up the hakama, put it on and tightened the waist rope.

Nanfeng is not an obedient master. If Lingyanzi asked him to close his eyes under normal circumstances, he would definitely take the opportunity to get revenge. But at this time, the situation was critical, so he did not take advantage of the opportunity, but some touching would still be helpful. Yes, he could feel the warmth and softness of certain parts of Lingyanzi.

Just looking at it from a distance had made his blood boil, and now touching it with his own hands made his blood rush. Fortunately, his nose was kicked by the flower picker, otherwise he would have been bleeding from the nose at this moment.

Helping Lingyanzi tie up her waist, Nanfeng opened her eyes, and reached out to help her fasten her clothes. While he was doing this, Lingyanzi kept her eyes closed. Seeing that Lingyanzi kept her eyes closed, Nanfeng I regret a little. I shouldn't have closed my eyes when I was told to do so. I should have taken the opportunity to look at it a few more times. It must be very beautiful.

But at this time, the hakama has been pulled up for others, and it can't be pulled down again. It's a pity, it's really a pity.

After fastening the cloth buttons, Nanfeng sat aside and asked, "What should we do now?"

Lingyanzi opened his eyes and looked at Nanfeng, but did not answer immediately.

At this time, Nanfeng had time to check his injuries. His nose, which was higher than his face, bore the brunt of the damage and was the most seriously injured. He didn't dare to touch it. He felt a sharp pain when he touched it. Maybe his nose bone was broken by the guy's kick. He was also kicked in the mouth and spit out two mouthfuls of bloody saliva. He felt it with his tongue and found that there was a large horizontal wound on the inside of his upper lip. The upper left molar was also dangling around. When he shook it with his hand, it fell out. .

"I'm asking you, what should I do now?" Nanfeng frowned and looked at the teeth in his hand. He had passed the age of teeth replacement. Once the teeth fell out, they could no longer grow back. In order to save the guy who broke his head, he actually attached it Got a tooth.

"Let me think about it for a moment." Lingyanzi responded.

Nanfeng showed the fallen tooth to Lingyanzi, "Look, look, you owe me a lot of favors."

"Thank you. I was sorry for you earlier." Lingyanzi looked ashamed.

"You have some conscience." Seeing Lingyanzi's gratitude, Nanfeng felt relieved. There were dozens of teeth in his mouth, and the ones he lost were not his front teeth. As long as he didn't grin intentionally, others wouldn't be able to see it.

"What acupuncture point did that person tap on you? Can you try to undo it?" Nanfeng asked.

Lingyanzi didn't answer.

"No, it's not safe here. I'd better carry you to the town, where we have people." Nanfeng said again.

"How can you meet people with such an appearance?" Lingyanzi said.

"What's the point? It's not like you're not wearing any clothes. Come on, come on. I'll do my best to carry you on my back." Nanfeng stretched out his hand to drag Lingyanzi.

"I'm moving Qi to stimulate the acupuncture points, don't touch me." Lingyanzi stopped him.

When Nanfeng heard this, he quickly stopped and asked, "How long will it take?"

Lingyanzi didn't answer again.

There is a pond in the west of the town. Nanfeng wanted to go there and wash away the blood on his face, but he was worried about leaving Lingyanzi here alone. Lingyanzi was dipping acupuncture points and could not move at will, so he could only sit aside. Wait.

While waiting, Nanfeng stretched out his hand to check his nose again. It still hurt when he touched it. He endured the pain and touched it. He felt that his nose was not collapsed. I don’t know if the nose bone was broken or not. Anyway, it was not collapsed. It would be fine if it was not collapsed. If it was collapsed, it would be disfigured. .

After confirming that there was nothing serious about her nose, Nanfeng went to look at Lingyanzi who was recovering her energy. Legend has it that women who are poisoned by aphrodisiac will have flushed faces, heavy breathing, twisting their waists and making whispers, but Lingyanzi was not In that situation, with her eyes closed, her face was as normal, and her breathing was not heavy. There was no sign of poisoning at all. It was not clear whether the poison had not taken effect, or whether the poison was different from ordinary aphrodisiacs.

"I've made you miserable. I ran out secretly, and now that I'm like this, I'll definitely be punished when I go back," Nanfeng couldn't help complaining, "We agreed in advance that you have to testify for me. I acted bravely, but if you turn your back and refuse to admit it, I will be unlucky."

Lingyanzi didn't answer.

Nanfeng sighed, put his hands on the ground, and tried to get up, but found that his right hand was grabbed by someone.

When he turned around, he found that the person grabbing his right hand was none other than Lingyanzi. Lingyanzi was still lying on the ground, his eyes were closed, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his left hand was holding his right hand.

"What are you going to do?" Nanfeng was very nervous. The fact that Lingyanzi's arms could move meant that her sealed acupuncture points had been unlocked, but this guy had been poisoned by aphrodisiac before. Maybe he wanted to use him to detoxify. Like It seemed true, but he really hadn't thought about doing anything else.

Lingyanzi didn't say anything, but he didn't let go either.

Nanfeng was worried and nervous, and was at a loss for words, "People say that after a hero saves a beauty, if the hero is handsome, the beauty will say that there is nothing in return and is willing to give her life. If the hero is ugly, the beauty will Then he would say that in the next life he would be a cow or a horse to repay his kindness, this, haha, right?"

Lingyanzi opened his eyes when he heard the sound and looked directly at the south wind.

Nanfeng laughed awkwardly, while Lingyanzi's eyes were calm and not blurry.

"Don't stare at me. I definitely don't look good right now." Nanfeng touched his face with his left hand. His face was covered with dried blood, and his lips were swollen. He was very embarrassed.

After a long time, Lingyanzi moved his eyes, let go and stood up, "The fire energy in my body is weak and strong, and I need to use cooling and calming medicine to overcome it. You wait for me here, I will come back as soon as possible."

"Okay, come back soon." Nanfeng stretched out his hand and pointed to the west, indicating that the dead little Taoist nun was still lying in the forest.

Lingyanzi nodded, raised his spirits, made light of his body, and headed eastward into the town.

While Lingyanzi was looking for medicine to detoxify, Nanfeng went to the pool and washed away the blood on his hands and face. He didn't want to throw away the missing tooth. He washed it and put it away, and felt the pain on his body. Parents should not throw them away lightly. This has been a rule for thousands of years. Even if they are dropped, they must be kept so that they can be carried into the coffin when they die.

After returning to the place and waiting for a while, Lingyanzi came back. The two rushed to the scene of the incident together. The poor little Taoist nun was still lying there with a pool of blood on her chest. She had died long ago and refused to close her eyes. Her eyes were still there. open.

"I'll keep watch here. You go back and call for help." Nanfeng said.

Lingyanzi wiped his tears and stood up, shaking his head, "You went down the mountain privately, it's not appropriate to get involved. You go back first, and I will go back to the mountain to report the matter."

"That's fine." Nanfeng nodded in agreement. Tian Dezi and others once told him to keep a low profile and avoid making trouble. He has always kept it in mind that skipping classes and playing around before was completely consistent with his identity. He was noticed by three real people at the same time. He was also a beggar. If he sat in class and listened to the scriptures in a proper manner, he would look pretentious. The so-called low-key was It is not acting beyond one's duty, which is completely different from hypocritically pretending to be a grandson.

It's better not to get involved in this matter today. Apart from anything else, a thorough investigation and interrogation are inevitable and really annoying.

Nanfeng went first, he ran slowly, Lingyanzi came back just after returning to the mountain, and then a group of Taoists from the Lucha Palace hurried down the mountain with her.

Someone saw that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, so they asked him the reason. Nanfeng only said that he had slipped and fell. He did not go to the Taoist doctor, but went to the secular affairs hall. There was a barefoot doctor there who pinched his nose a few times and straightened his teeth. There is no way to install it, and the lips can reduce swelling on their own.

His lips were as swollen as a pig's mouth. Naturally, he was not allowed to listen to the scriptures or go to the canteen to eat. He could only go to the secular affairs hall. It was already the beginning of winter, and the light was dim during morning and evening homework, so he lowered his head to participate, even though Even though I knew I wouldn't be kicked off the mountain, I couldn't do anything too outrageous.

It was very boring to recuperate behind closed doors without any freedom, but Nanfeng was not idle either. During the period of recuperation, he had been studying the Dongshen Sutra on his own, but the process of enlightenment was not smooth, because the Nine Masters of Taiqing Sect He knows all the sacred scriptures. When encountering questions when studying, he will involuntarily seek explanations from high-level scriptures. It is said that he is studying the Dongshen Sutra, but in fact, many of his insights come from high-level scriptures.

In the afternoon, when no one was around, he once looked for an opportunity to go to Tianqizi's residence. The ponytail on the door was still there, but Tianqizi never came back.

Five days later, the swelling on his lips subsided, and Nanfeng began to listen to the scriptures and take classes. It became cold, and he was too lazy to run outside.

The Taoist priest who had not given the gift and the Taoist priest who had given the gift were not in the same place during the morning class. Nanfeng had not seen Lingyanzi in the past few days, and did not know how to deal with the previous incident or whether the flower picker had been caught.

On the evening of the sixth day, Nanfeng was meditating on scriptures in his room when there was a knock on the door.

Nanfeng stood up and opened the door and found Lingyanzi standing outside the door...
