Chapter 48 Chapter Eighteen

Chapter 18, Part 2 Xiaoqiang Rebellion After recovering from the cloud, Sangchen bid farewell to Chang'an. Before he left, the king presented him with a thousand pieces of gold. Mr. Zhe refused, and Zhe advised him that the gold and silk were not for rewarding meritorious deeds, but only a little help for the line of work. Besides, there are many poor and sick people in the world, and Mr. Xi is good at saving them. - "The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties."The Legend of Jiang Suiyun" What it feels like to escape from the dead is something that only those who have experienced it can understand. So when I opened my eyes, although I felt numb all over, and the pain in my heart was unbearable, I still couldn't help showing a faint smile. It was difficult to move my limbs, and there was another burst of pain. I was more sure that I was still alive in the world, not in the underworld. I moaned, and the hoarse voice just escaped from my lips. Looking carefully, it was an imperial doctor in his forties. I forced a smile, and he turned around in surprise and shouted: "Master Jiang is awake, go and inform Mr. Sang." Then there were steady footsteps in my ear , and then I saw that familiar face.

Although I haven't seen him for many years, Mr. Sang's appearance hasn't changed much. His beard is gray and his hair is thin. His eyes are always focused and ruthless. Yes, ruthless. He worked hard to heal the poor, but his heart was cold and ruthless. I knew this back then.In his eyes, the patients were just men and women with blurred faces. He was concentrating on treating the patients, and he was well aware of the changes in the patient's condition and mood fluctuations, but if the patient recovered afterwards, he would be a stranger to him. He will never feel sad when he dies.Perhaps, in Mr. Sang's eyes, there is only the distinction between patients and healthy people. To him, patients are just a tool to verify medical skills. If there is anyone who is an exception, then it is probably me.

I remember when we met for the first time, my father begged him for medical treatment. He only took one look at him and said that his father’s disease was deeply rooted, and even if he was cured, he would only survive for a few years. At first, my father was a little disappointed, and even planned not to treat him anymore. It was I who said to my father: "Although a few years are short for ordinary people, they are very important to us father and son. The son is still young. If there is no father to take care of him, he will inevitably be displaced. If the father can't afford it, how can he rest assured that the child's future livelihood is not as good as father and son. If the father is in pain, the son will not dare to force the father, but as long as the child takes good care of him, the father should not suffer much."

My father was only discouraged for a while, and seeing my sincere words, he sought medical treatment again. After hearing my words, Mr. Sang just said indifferently: "This child is quite sensible." After saying that, he stayed to treat his father and detained him for several months. Teach me medical skills. I have heard him say that he has no ambition to practice medicine and help the world. Practicing medicine is just his means of earning a living. Although he said it so indifferently, I like his straightforwardness, and Mr. Sang can't see patients However, fortunately, he is usually taciturn. If people know the thoughts of Xinglin Medical Sage in the eyes of the world, I am afraid that he will turn pale with shock.

Seeing Mr. Sang, I couldn't help but shed tears. This is my only elder in this world.Mr. Sang understood my thoughts, came over to check my pulse, and said calmly: "Suiyun, your injury is no longer serious. You have taken a lot of expensive tonics these days. Although it saved your life, it is inevitable that some Vitality is too strong, these days, you should recuperate slowly, and I will heal and recuperate you after your injuries are fully recovered." I looked at Mr. Sang questioningly, and he smiled slightly: "Are you asking His Royal Highness King Yong and the boy who has been using his true energy to keep you alive? King Yong has been too tired these days, and I have already asked him to go back Rest, it is said that His Royal Highness fell asleep and has not woken up yet. Your entourage is indeed loyal, but I saw that his internal energy was exhausted and he refused to rest, so I took a dose of medicine to let him go to rest obediently Well, when he wakes up, it will be a good time to break and then stand up. I will supervise him to practice in closed doors. Your child is born with a lack of talent, and he will not achieve much in martial arts. He is a genius in martial arts. Although his martial arts It is indeed very subtle, but he is very talented to be able to practice to this level. My martial arts have not been passed on to others. It is better to teach him. You are half of my disciple. He is loyal to you, so teaching him is the same ."

I couldn't help being overjoyed. Although I don't know the depth of Mr. Sang's martial arts, I can tell from his tone that he should be very extraordinary.After thinking about it, I remembered that King Yong must have been very tired for many days, otherwise he would not be able to wake up. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and quickly took Mr. Sang's hand and wrote the word "King" on the palm of his hand.Mr. Sang smiled slightly, and said: "Could it be that His Highness is so kind to you, I have already visited him, don't worry." Only then did I relax, when a maid brought a bowl of medicine and carefully served me to take it.After taking the medicine, I felt sleepy again, so I fell asleep again. For several days in a row, I spent my sleep and taking the medicine. It wasn't until seven days later that I didn't have to drink the added soup , I can finally lie on the bed soberly.

I touched my stiff legs, and wanted to get out of bed and take a walk, but Mr. Sang stopped me. Xiao Shunzi wanted to serve me, but Mr. Sang said, "there are so many martial arts masters in the world, how can you do it?" Do you want your young master to be injured like this?" He blocked it, and now he is training hard in closed doors. It seems that although Mr. Sang's inner strength is quite different from Xiao Shunzi's, Mr. Sang's research on martial arts is not comparable to Xiao Shunzi's. Yes, so my ears have been cleaned up a lot, at least no one has made a fuss to plead guilty to me.King Yong and his concubine took Roulan to see me once, and then they were forbidden by Mr. Sang to see me, saying that he wanted me to cultivate well so as not to worry about outside things.Since then, King Yong never came here except to send people to greet him every day. According to Mr. Sang, it seems that King Yong is personally rectifying the defense of the palace, because the previous defense inevitably has too many loopholes for the masters of the rivers and lakes.Although recuperation is beneficial to my body, it is too depressing. I don’t even let me touch my favorite books. Mr. Sang only showed me a few Taoist scriptures that are pure and inaction, saying that they can calm me down. , but it is quite effective, otherwise, my mood will be much calmer. After experiencing life and death, I feel that many things have been taken lightly. Even the shadow of Piaoxiang will not always linger in my heart. Mostly it is the sweetness full of happiness, not the pain of heartbreak.

Five or six days later, Mr. Sang finally allowed me to get out of bed and walk around, and Xiao Shunzi had returned to my side. With his support, I took the first step after recovering from the illness gently. The cotton is still soft, and after walking around the room, I was a little out of breath. Now it is mid-March, and several green peaches in the garden have bloomed. Although the spring breeze is still a little chilly, it is not so biting anymore. Xiao Shunzi asked people to surround a gazebo in the garden with Shu brocade on three sides to block the spring breeze, and spread thick Persian blankets inside the pavilion, and put soft couches, tables and chairs, and I sat comfortably on the soft couch , wearing the silver fox fur that His Royal Highness King Yong bestowed on him last winter, Mr. Sang was sitting on a chair with his eyes slightly closed, while Xiao Shunzi was making tea at the side. After a while, two cups of hot tea were brought over, and I drank them all in one gulp. , I only felt a burst of relief in my limbs and bones.

Mr. Sang also drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "The tea His Highness sent is really good. Suiyun, King Yong treats you like a soldier of the state. It seems that you are not willing to live in seclusion with me." I was taken aback and asked, "Why did you say that, sir? Could it be that you don't like Zhe serving King Yong?" Mr. Sang said with a faint smile: "I don't bother to care about these mundane things. King Yong is not a stupid person. There is nothing wrong with you assisting him. I just think about your health. I want you to resign and go back to seclusion. "

I said calmly: "But can my body not be tired from now on?" Mr. Sang shook his head and said: "Not only that, Suiyun, although your injuries are serious, but as long as you take good care of them, you will be able to recover in a few years. As long as you are careful in the past few years, there will be no serious problems. It's just that your heart disease is difficult to heal. The heart veins are injured by the seven emotions, if you can't calm down and cultivate your illness, I'm afraid you will be terminally ill in ten years. If my prediction is not bad, you must have experienced great joy and great compassion when your body and mind were exhausted, so You hurt your Heart Sutra, and you have been grieving all these years, so you developed a chronic illness. Although your medical skills are good, it is difficult for a good doctor to heal himself, which led to today."

Xiao Shunzi turned pale when he heard this, and he looked at Sang Chen without saying a word. Sang Chen shook his head slightly, sighed, and stopped talking. We walked out from the critical moment, but heard such news again, but strangely, I didn't feel any sadness in my heart, and said with a faint smile: "This is also the destiny of Zhe, that is, Zhe used to want to go back to hermit, but now he is under the auspices of His Highness King Yong." If this kind of kindness cannot be repaid, wouldn’t it be a lifetime of restlessness? Besides, if the mood is restless, what’s the use of practicing hard in the mountains? My disciples dare not hide it. I bear the blood feud of killing my wife. Xiu. However, ten years is enough time. The disciple is confident that he can avenge his hatred and assist King Yong to achieve great things. When the time comes, he will be adrift in the lakes and seas, and his life and death will be beyond his control. Wouldn't it be nice to regard wealth and honor as floating clouds? " Xiao Shunzi's face was pale at first, but after hearing this, his expression turned calm.Sang Chen glanced at him and asked, "Are you going to let your master mess around?" Xiao Shunzi said respectfully, "Master likes this, and slaves can only rely on him, and the most slaves will follow each other. I think it won't make you lonely." I am not moved by what he said. After experiencing life and death, many of my thoughts have changed. Even if Xiao Shunzi died for me, I just feel that I have one more friend under the spring, and with my means, let There is no difficulty for him to live, so I just glanced at him lightly and smiled slightly, expressing that I know his painstaking efforts. He said this just to let me work hard to live a few more years. Sang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, it's up to you, but I will take good care of you during this time, and it will be up to you in the future." I asked suspiciously: "Why do you want to travel far, sir? Why do you want to make your home all over the world when you are so old?" Sang Chen said indifferently: "I'm getting old, and I don't want to get involved in the disputes of the secular world. The waves here are rough. I'm no younger than you, and I can't stand the wind and waves. But I'm really old. This time I plan to go back to my hometown to live in seclusion. If you If you need something in the future, you can find me in Penglai, East China Sea." I nodded and said: "Sir, you are right. If the situation stabilizes, I would also like to see the scenery of overseas fairy mountains." Mr. Sang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Suiyun, is your enemy the Fengyi Sect?" My body shook, and I said calmly: "Sir, why would you say such a thing? The leader of the Fengyi sect is the leader of the martial arts, he is the spiritual leader of the Bai Dao, and he is also the great honor of the Great Yong. How can I be against them?" Sang Chen said lightly: "You don't have to worry, I have nothing to do with Fengyi Sect. When the head of Fengyi Sect became famous, I was already in my forties. Although she wanted to invite me to be a guest several times, I did not agree. This time They came to seek medical treatment. I took a look, and I knew that Liang Wan had been poisoned by the poison made by Grass Grass Duan En. There is no cure for Grass Duan Grass, and only you and I have this kind of medicine in this world. So I know it must be you who did it, but you never do unreasonable things, so I didn't tell them, I just said to take good care of them, Liang Wan can still return to normal, but the past memories can't come back." I was a little relieved and asked, "Will you not blame me for being so tricky?" Sang Chen smiled lightly and said, "I've never cared about worldly affairs, it's just that this Grass Cutting Grass is too poisonous, so I don't want to use it in the future." I asked again: "What do you think of Fengyimen, sir?" Sang Chen took a deep look at me, and said: "The master of Fengyi sect is a poor man, and a hateful person must be pitiful. There is nothing wrong with what you do, but don't hurt your body. If there is hatred, you just Remember who the enemy is, as for that period of hatred, it is better to forget it, burn your heart, not remembering is the kindness to yourself." I saluted lightly and said: "Thank you sir for your teaching." The only person in this world who can make me submit has made it clear that he won't interfere with my affairs, so I really don't have any scruples.Although I don't know what kind of past Mr. Sang and Fengyi Sect Master have, but that is already irrelevant. Sang Chen sighed, this child felt congenial at the first sight, even though he was as old as a grandson, and he really regarded him as a grandson, but he also knew that he could not change his mind, Fengyimen Lord Fan Huiyao had had wine talks with him several times. That woman was a radiant existence. Although he was used to living alone, he had been attracted to her once, and he even handed over the fragmented copy of the Taiyin Heart Sutra that he had collected. I gave it to her. If I didn't have the share I gave her, then I believe she would not have achieved what she is today, at least ten years later. He has never regretted it, because martial arts are not important to him, but For the sake of this child who will confront the master of Fengyi sect sooner or later, he passed on all his martial arts to Li Shun, presumably in this way Li Shun can better protect Jiang Zhe. Looking at Jiang Zhe, Sang Chen said lightly, "I'm leaving soon, take care of yourself." I hurriedly said: "Today is too hasty, I'd better stay a few more days, so that I can see Mr. for a ride." Sang Chen smiled slightly and said, "No need, you are not in good health, what are you going to do for me?" At this time, a brisk voice came from a distance: "Why, who is leaving." I looked up, and it was King Yong and Li Zhi walking over with Sima Xiong.Then he said: "Your Highness, Mr. Sang is leaving now." Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Sir, how could you be in such a hurry, last time you saved my king's life, I didn't have time to repay him, this time I saved Jiang Sima's life, if I don't stay for a few more days, I'm afraid I'll say my king's hospitality is not good. " Sang Chen said indifferently: "It's useless to stay longer, Suiyun is all right now, I still have things to do, so I have to leave." Seeing that Sangchen's words were firm, Li Zhi knew that he could not be forced, so he asked someone to fetch gold beads worth thousands of gold, and said: "I dare not force you to keep these gold beads, sir, please accept these gold beads, I dare not thank you, it's just a matter of helping and asking for money. " Sang Chen said indifferently: "Suiyun is my old friend. If His Highness hadn't spared expensive medicines, I'm afraid he would have died already. Sang is so grateful, how dare he accept the gold and silver." Now the King of Yong refused to agree, and repeatedly begged Mr. Sang to accept it. I knew Mr. Sang's temper, and I didn't want them to be stiff, so I persuaded: "Mr. Your Highness doesn't even pay the travel expenses, I'm afraid it doesn't sound good, and my husband often treats the poor and sick. They don't have money to buy medicines, and they often ask him to donate money to help them. Your Highness's gold and silver, you should accept them for them Bar." What I said hit the nail on the head. Although Mr. Sang was as cold as ice, he always wanted to heal the sick. Some people received him, but those people probably didn't know Mr. Sang and couldn't remember who they were. Sang Chen felt that what Jiang Zhe said made sense, so he accepted the gold and silver and left.King Yong sent them off in person, and I was the only one who was forbidden to follow, and I could only watch Mr. Sang walk out of the cold garden. Alas, I am the only elder in this world, and I will be separated after a few days of reunion.Depressed and ecstasy, that's all. Xiao Shunzi came back soon after seeing him off on my behalf. He said with some hesitation, "Master, do you want to check Mr. Cha Sang's relationship with the head of Fengyi sect? It seems that I have not seen any information on these matters." I said lightly: "No need, Mr. Sang has to be a man, I know very well, since he said he doesn't care, he doesn't care. If we kill Fengyi sect master, Mr. Sang won't be offended, as long as we don't overuse Fengyi sect master Besides, what kind of character is Fengyi Sect Master, even if we destroy the entire Fengyi Sect, we may not be able to hurt her." Xiao Shunzi's expression changed, and he asked: "If the master of Fengyi Sect escapes in the future, wouldn't there be endless troubles, and there must be a way to trap her." I looked at Xiao Shunzi, smiled slightly and said, "There is a way, but it's up to you, if you can take all the moves of Fengyi Sect Master without losing, then I have a chance of winning." Xiao Shunzi said resolutely: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do it." I smiled and nodded.He said again: "Why hasn't Your Highness come here? He must have something to discuss with me when he came here today." Xiao Shunzi's face suddenly became very strange, and he said after a long while: "Your Highness received some news just now, so he didn't come over. He must come here soon." As soon as he finished speaking, I saw Li Zhi's figure, but I He didn't have time to ask Xiao Shunzi why he looked uneasy.
