Chapter 208: Parting is for a better reunion
“Old man, when did you know about this?”
“When I saw the Taoist priest condensed into the capital yesterday on the road, I I guessed it in my mind, and then I went to ask the Taoist priest where the Taoist temple was, and then I finally confirmed it."
"Then you never told me?"
"It's not like I didn't find it. Opportunity? ”
Guan Jinping felt angry and wanted to reach out and pinch Yan Wangsheng, but she was embarrassed to do so in front of Zuo Chen and could only stare at him.
Yan Wangsheng whistled toward the sky.
Zuo Chen was also a little helpless: "I don't have the corresponding memory. There is no conclusion on this matter now."
No conclusion?
Then I don’t dare to make a mistake.
After simplifying the Taoist scriptures in one night, Guan Jinping felt that Zuo Chen's level was probably about the same as that of the capital master...
No, he was much better!
Guan Jinping didn't know what to say to Zuo Chen, so she could only hold the Dao Jing tightly in her arms and bowed deeply to him:
"Old lady, I'm stupid, I'm afraid it's rare. The Tao is wonderful.”
“You don’t have to insist on the Tao, it is true that it can prolong your life.”
Zuo Chen smiled.
His simplified Taoist scriptures are easy to get started with. These two old people started practicing late, so the upper limit is definitely not that high, but it is not difficult to extend their lifespan for a few more years.
Seeing that the sky was bright, Zuo Chen also called Cai Yi and Zhu Laoba, asking Cai Yi to get the bamboo basket, and then pointed at the thick books on display and waved, A gentle breeze came up.
The books soared into the air like birds and beasts, spreading their wings and flying, swirling towards one side of the bamboo basket and pouring in like squabs returning to their nests.
In the blink of an eye, all the books were put into this small bamboo basket.
It was an eye-opener for the two old men.
The magic of holding objects is common, but such a clever and fairy-like magic of holding things is indeed very rare.
Getting on the donkey cart again, Guan Jinping rode on horseback and stretched out his hand towards Yan Wangsheng, but Yan Wangsheng smiled and waved his hand:
"I have been out for too long, I will never go back, Shu Those people in the building should be suspicious."
"You damn old man, you want to leave as soon as you say something." Guan Jinping also looked gloomy, as if she wanted to hit him.
Yan Wangsheng chuckled, then took out a stick of incense from his pocket and put it into Guan Jinping's hand.
Guan Jinping took it over and took a look, only to realize that it was a fine Thousand Miles Communication Incense.
“This is my private incense, it can talk to me when you light it. I specially prepared it when I came out this time. I didn’t know who to give it to at the time, but I didn’t expect that it would be delivered to the right person today. "
"You're so glib."
Guan Jinping snorted, but still carefully took out her handkerchief from her arms and rolled the incense stick around. He wrapped it up and then put it in his arms, as if he was afraid of damaging it.
After doing all this, he looked at the old man and said:
"After I settle down with Prince Jing, I will find a time to go to Kyoto to see you."
"Then I will certainly serve wine. Let’s have a banquet.”
After the two of them finished talking, they were still somewhat reluctant to leave, but in the end they didn’t stay with each other any longer.
It won’t take too long for us to be reunited this time.
Yan Wangsheng waved goodbye, turned and left.
When I looked at the back, he no longer looked like a weathered old beggar, but like a well-read gentleman. Even a pair of rags could not hide his elegance.
Looking at Yan Wangsheng's back, Guan Jinping let out a long sigh of relief. Putting her hand on her chest, she could touch the long incense stick wrapped in a handkerchief.
He also rode forward and left with Zuo Chen and others.
……
Yan Wangsheng did not leave Xiguan City immediately.
He first went to the clothing store and took out a few taels of silver amid the doubtful gaze of the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to pick out a clean piece of scholarly clothes for him.
It took some time to change clothes. When he came out again, Yan Wangsheng was already dressed in Confucian clothes. He changed from the old beggar to a bright and handsome gentleman, which shocked the clothing store owner. My jaw almost dropped.
Yan Wangsheng thought the clothes were good, so he gave him a little more silver as a tip. Then he walked from house to house on Xiguancheng Street and finally found a small courtyard at a not-so-busy street corner.
He entered directly without knocking, and quickly reached the master bedroom.
I saw that the master bedroom window was still half-covered, and I could vaguely hear snoring coming from it.
Stretch out your hand and push open the window.
I saw Wei Shu sleeping soundly on the bed.
I saw his brows furrowed again, rolling back and forth, as if he had some nightmare.
This morning Zuo Chen told Yan Wangsheng about the prescription he gave Wei Shu, and Yan Wangsheng wanted to come over to see if this young man who had been poisoned for a long time had successfully overcome the knot in his heart.
But for now...
It’s probably a bit difficult.
After thinking about it, Yan Wangsheng simply pulled a chair over and sat next to him to wait.
I picked up another book and read it casually.
After waiting like this for half a day, I suddenly saw a young man in luxurious clothes walking towards the entrance of the yard. He walked hurriedly, his steps were fast, and his face was full of anxiety.
But even so, it is difficult to conceal his nobility.
Yan Wangsheng put down the book in his hand.
Sure enough, someone is here.
The young man who walked quickly also saw Yan Wangsheng who was studying in the courtyard, with a surprised expression on his face.
He immediately saluted Yan Wangsheng:
"Uncle Yan."
Yan Wangsheng glanced at the young man and looked him up and down: "Are you from the library?"
"Yes." The young man said: "I checked my life this morning and found that Brother Wei was not in good condition, so I came to look for him. Do you know what happened to him?"
"He is here. Lying down.”
Yan Wangsheng stepped aside, and then the young man saw Wei Shu struggling painfully on the bed.
He hurriedly came to Wei Shu's side, with a look of horror on his face:
"This? Could it be that Brother Wei has suffered some kind of magic?"
"I still want to do this. I really don’t know. When I passed by here this morning, I wanted to visit Xiaoyou Wei, but when I saw him, he was already like this.”
The young man was in a hurry and didn’t know how to arrange Wei Shu. .
He simply sighed and said:
"Uncle Yan, I'm going out to rent a fast horse and take Brother Wei back to Kyoto. Could you please continue to guard Brother Wei for a while?"
"Okay. . ”
Seeing the young man finish in a hurry, Yan Wangsheng’s eyes fell on Wei Shu again.
In the distance, Yan Wangsheng seemed to see that young boy who looked like a young boy running up to him to study a long time ago.
"Obviously my mind was still normal at that time."
Yan Wangsheng sighed.
When he came here today, he actually hoped to see Wei Shu wake up and regain his energy.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to recover from overflowing water, and Wei Shu has gone too far on this road.
I just hope this kid can look back and see the way back that Mr. has left for him.
...
Guan Jinping, who was riding a horse, felt lonely for a while, and then regained her energy.
Looking at her return to form, Caiyi beside her laughed:
“You’re not lost?”
“You’re not lost.” Guan Jinping said: “The two of us are not, either. I’m not young anymore, so I still have so much passion. Besides, the separation won’t last forever, so I can definitely go find him when the time comes.”
"I'm going to Kyoto in a short time." Zuo Chen said, "We can go together then."
"It's really troublesome, sir."
"Not really. Trouble." When Zuo Chen said this, his expression became slightly weird:
"Actually, the booklet I gave you was for the two of you to practice together. I didn't expect that he would return to Kyoto first. "
"It should be okay if you practice two days late, right?"
Guan Jinping immediately became nervous.
“It’s really nothing. The first step in my booklet is to rejuvenate. If you practice alone for three months, your appearance will probably change a lot...”
< br>Guan Jinping: "?"
"After all, it is a technique deliberately designed for the elderly. I have added some facial features. After practicing, I can become much younger."
Zuo Chen also coughed lightly.
Guan Jinping didn't know what to say for a moment.
“How young will you become in the end?”
“Whatever your heart desires, whatever your thoughts are, I don’t know exactly how young you will become. It depends on your thoughts. "
Hearing this, Guan Jinping couldn't help but have a strange picture in her mind:
A few months later, a beautiful girl ran into the library and dragged Yan. Exuberant...
Would the old man's heart have stopped due to fright?
Seeing that Guan Jinping stopped talking, Zuo Chen did not continue talking to her, but looked at the small pile of objects placed on the cart.
These are the inheritance of the Immortal Family collected by the returnees, and it is said that most of them have unknown functions.
In the past, it was left to the capital for appraisal, but now it falls to Zuo Chen.
But he was quite curious.
What kind of objects would those immortals leave behind?
