Chapter 598: The So-called Beauty Is on the Other Side of the Water
Datang, Longzhou, Langzhong.
This is an ancient city with a long history, surrounded by mountains on all sides and the Jialing River on three sides. The mountains, rivers and city are integrated into one, and the yin and yang are in harmony, creating an extraordinary atmosphere.
According to legend, in ancient times, a woman named Hua Xu became pregnant after stepping on a footprint and gave birth to a son, Fuxi.
The place where this legend took place is Langzhong.
Today is a sunny day with not a cloud in the sky. People in Langzhong are hanging out their clothes to dry or washing them by the river. Although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an and Luoyang, it is full of life.
However, at this moment, there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky. The sky, which had just been clear, suddenly became cloudy, and then light rain fell. Many clothes were blown away by the wind.
But this horrible weather came strangely and went away quickly.
Just as the people were busy collecting their clothes, the clouds and rain stopped in the sky, and the weather became clear again.
I just heard from the fishermen on the Jialing River that they seemed to vaguely hear a dragon's roar, and the entire river surged violently, almost capsizing their boat.
Then a story spread from somewhere that the Dragon King in the Jialing River woke up and accidentally sneezed.
…
In a thatched cottage.
A beautiful Taoist nun with messy hair was lying on the bed, with a dot of cinnabar between her eyebrows, looking otherworldly and otherworldly.
She was lying on her side on the bed, soundly sleeping, completely disrespectful of any elegance, with her head even covered by a book that she had not finished reading yesterday.
A brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks covered her body, hiding her slender and graceful figure, leaving only two white jade-like bare feet playfully exposed.
Her toes were as white as shells, her skin was moist and radiant, and as tender as two lotus flowers that had just grown in a lake on a snowy mountain.
Cha Cha rushed in and shouted, "Oh no, oh no, Master, I just saw a big bug flying over here!"
"I hope there won't be any monsters in Langzhong City!"
As she spoke, she swallowed her saliva and murmured, "I wonder if that monster tastes good..."
Taizhen: “Huh~Huh~”
She slept so soundly. She stayed up late last night reading a book, the kind that makes people blush and their hearts beat fast. She was really mentally exhausted and just wanted to sleep a little longer.
Cha Cha made a face at her and nodded, confirming that her master was indeed asleep. That was great, she could finally steal something valuable to exchange for money!
However, after a moment, she looked at this bare place and could not find anything valuable.
It seems that the most valuable thing is her lazy and gluttonous master?
Or... sell out the Master?
No, no!
Cha Cha slapped herself. How could she think like that? Her master was so heavy. If she carried her on her back to sell her, wouldn’t she be exhausted?
Not cost-effective.
Looking around, she glanced at her master's bed, rolled her eyes, and carefully stole a book from it, which was still warm.
She didn't know what book it was, nor did she have a title, but her master, who usually only read a book once, kept flipping through it with a silly smile on his face.
It must be a very valuable book, it can be exchanged for a lot of money!
Just as she was about to run away, Taizhen suddenly opened her eyes, pinched her ear with one hand, and snatched the book back.
“Oh, it hurts!”
"You know the pain, but you still dare to steal things?"
Taizhen sneered, pulled down her panties without any hesitation, and slapped her several times.
Cha Cha said aggrievedly: "But I'm hungry!"
Taizhen was angry at him for not fighting back and said, "You are just a tea leaf. You can eat the sunlight in the whole room, but you insist on eating. Don't you know that eating costs money?"
Cha Cha cried, "Master, it was you who said you wanted to stop writing and that you didn't want to make money by writing stories anymore. If we had money, Cha Cha wouldn't be starving."
Taizhen said calmly: "Isn't your teacher ready to practice medicine and make money by treating patients? Who said that there is no business now?"
"Woo woo, Master, you're just treating patients, why do you have to hang those two words at the door? Who would dare to come with those two words?"
Hearing this, Taizhen felt a little guilty.
Last time, Cha Cha complained that she was hungry and begged for a long time. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she said she wanted to open a clinic to make money.
However, she only likes to stay at home and hates communicating with others, so she wrote two sentences on the door.
It turned out that this trick was very effective. For a whole half month, no one dared to come to see the doctor.
"Maybe... a patient will come today?"
Taizhen wanted to fool him.
Cha Cha pinched her waist and snorted, "Master, you are lying to a three-year-old child. If someone comes today, I will, I will eat shit!"
She swore solemnly, her little face full of resentment.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
“Boom boom boom!”
It is not urgent, but rather very soothing, yet clear and powerful.
Cha Cha was stunned, her face instantly froze there, as if petrified, but she refused to accept her fate and struggled, "Maybe... maybe that person had something else to do and didn't come to see a doctor—"
"Excuse me, is there anyone inside? I am suffering from a serious illness and I am here to seek medical treatment."
His voice was clear and gentle, and his words were distinct, interrupting the words that Cha Cha hadn't finished saying yet.
There was a hint of surprise in Taizhen's eyes. In this Langzhong City, there was actually someone who dared to come to her for medical treatment?
Does he want to live anymore?
"Did you see the two lines of words outside?"
“Yes.”
"So you still need to see a doctor?"
"yes."
Taizhen fell silent for a moment.
…
Half an hour ago.
Li Daoxuan entered Langzhong City. Walking in this ancient city, he felt the gazes of the locals. He lowered his hat a little and continued walking.
Before this, he had taken a strand of hair from Wu Ruyi, used it as a medium, and performed Zi Wei Dou Shu, and indeed he calculated a vague clue of the secret.
This also proves that there is indeed some kind of secret connection between Wu Ruyi and his senior sister.
Following the guidance of heaven, Li Daoxuan rode a dragon and came to the ancient city of Langzhong, which was surrounded by mountains on four sides and water on three sides.
But the secret ends here.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as he is sure that his senior sister lives here, he will have a way to find her. After all, his senior sister can stay at home all the time, but Cha Cha can’t sit still.
He asked several times, spent some money, and soon got a clue.
In an alley in the south of the city, there is a thatched cottage, which seems to be a clinic, but no one dares to go there for medical treatment. However, there is always a little girl with braids running out of there.
The little girl liked to wear green skirts and was very cute. She ran to the pawnshop picking up things here and there. Everyone guessed that the clinic would soon be closed.
Following the instructions of the local people, Li Daoxuan soon arrived at the door of the clinic. When he saw the words on both sides, he finally understood why no one in the entire Langzhong City dared to come here for medical treatment.
"A cure is worth a hundred ounces of gold, and a cure that kills is free of charge."
Horizontal banner: Love to treat but not cure.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and laughed. Who else could say such willful words except for his eccentric senior sister?
Thinking that his senior sister was inside, he felt a little excited, but he calmed himself down, straightened his robe, and then reached out to knock on the door.
After a moment, the door opened.
A little head poked out cautiously, with two small braids hanging down, and a white and tender face, but not as chubby as before, and had lost a lot of weight.
"You came—"
When she saw who was outside the door, Cha Cha stopped talking. She opened her mouth and stared blankly at the man in a neat green robe with a warm smile, shock in her big eyes.
Then she looked around excitedly, picked up a brick on the ground, and smashed it against her forehead.
Bang!
The stone brick broke into two pieces, and Chacha's bloodstained little face showed both pain and excitement.
"Master...Uncle Master!!!"
Cha Cha's eyes were instantly filled with tears. She arched her head and rushed towards Li Daoxuan like a calf, even breaking pieces of floor tiles because she couldn't control her magic power.
Bang!
She buried herself in Li Daoxuan's arms, nodding her head and crying loudly, as if a child who had been lost for many years had finally found her relatives.
All the grievances in my heart poured out like a flood.
Thanks to the Qinglian Treasure Robe's built-in cleaning function, otherwise Li Daoxuan's Taoist robe would have been wet by her snot and tears.
"Be good, Master Uncle is here and brought you a lot of delicious food."
Li Daoxuan touched her little head, as if he had returned to the days in Zhongnan Mountain outside Chang'an City, the gatekeeper tigress Qiangwei, the mushroom-picking Cha Cha, and... Zhuge Qing, dressed in white as white as snow.
His eyes softened unconsciously.
Cha Cha raised her head and choked up, "Uncle Master, do you think... shit... tastes good?"
The smile on Li Daoxuan's face suddenly froze.
Sometimes, he really wanted to open this guy's head and see what was inside. Why did he always have such... such wild ideas.
Could it be that tea... likes this?
After a moment.
Under Li Daoxuan's persuasion, Cha Cha finally gave up the idea of eating shit. She held a bunch of snacks and food sent by her uncle, her face almost raised to the sky.
He was jumping around, completely different from the person just now.
"Uncle, the master is in the room. Let me tell you, she is so lazy. She doesn't write books, cook, or make money. She just lies on the bed and reads books every day . The room is a mess, with shoes, socks, and bellybands thrown everywhere..."
Cha Cha kept complaining about her own master.
But when Li Daoxuan pushed open the door, she was stunned and wiped her eyes several times before she was sure that she was not seeing things.
The room was clean, tidy, spacious and bright, with exotic flowers and plants placed all around. The room was filled with the fragrance of plants and trees. The sloppy master she mentioned was sitting leisurely on a chair in the middle, quietly sipping tea.
The snow-white dress seemed to be woven with clouds from the sky. It was flawless, without a speck of dust, and outlined a graceful and slender curve.
Taizhen even tied up her long black hair and combed it into a flowing bun. The jade pendant under the silver hairpin swayed gently as she lowered her head to sip tea, which was magnificent.
Her bun was loosely tied up and her makeup was lightly done.
She didn't wear any heavy makeup, but she looked so pure and elegant, with an ethereal air, especially the cinnabar between her eyebrows, which added an indescribable Taoist charm.
Cha Cha: “…”
Girl, who are you? How can I be such a sloppy master?
Ignoring the shocked Cha Cha, the two people's gazes seemed to travel through the long river of time and collided with each other.
Before Li Daoxuan opened his mouth, the immortal sound had already sounded.
"My dear brother, my consultation fee is not cheap. Are you sure you want to see me?"
Well, senior sister is playing the role again.
