Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 517 516. Could it be you?
After the old grandson finished speaking, as if he was stuck in time, the sense of peace rippling in the small courtyard suddenly stopped.

Li Zhen subconsciously stood up and walked directly to Xuanzang's room, followed by Sun Simiao. When they entered the room, they saw Xuanzang sitting on the bed looking at him.

To be honest, on the surface, Xuanzang looked fine, as if his injuries had healed.

But both Li Zhen and Sun Simiao could tell that his eyes were dim.

It is no longer the glory it was before.

"The two priests..."

"Do not talk."

Snatching the bottle from Li Zhen's hand, Sun Simiao took a step forward, uncorked the bottle, and poured out a fragrant red medicine.

"Eat, let's go!"

"Uh……"

Xuanzang was obviously confused, but he obediently squeezed the pill and put it in his mouth.

Close your eyes and let your Qi flow.

In an instant, Li Zhen saw a blush on his face.

Then... the monk who had just woken up for less than a minute stopped moving again.

"That's... all right?"

Hearing his words, Sun Simiao nodded, handed him the bottle with only one pill left, and said:

"Start to practice Qi, and the Sanguan Pill will start to make up for his original source. This elixir is powerful, and if you want to dissolve it, it will take at least seven days. He won't wake up during this period, don't worry."

"...No, what I mean is...are you moving too fast? At least you...let him drink some water and eat something!"

Looking at the handsome bald guy with a little dry skin on the corner of his mouth, Li Laodao couldn't laugh or cry.

After Sun Simiao glanced at him, he sneered:
"What? Are you distressed?"

"..."

Hey, Niubi, you are nothing.

Li Laodao began to curse in his heart, while Sun Simiao waved his hands:

"Okay, that's it. I really have to go to rest, this sleep...you don't have to disturb me, wake up, I'll get up. I won't wake up...don't come up with bad ideas, hear?"

"...Don't eat anymore?"

"Don't eat. I have a terrible headache right now~"

After the Lord Yao finished speaking, he went out of the house without asking where Li Zhen lived, and went straight to the East Wing. When the door was closed, he took a special look at Li Zhen.There seemed to be something uneasy. After closing the door, Li Laodao heard the sound of the door bolt being inserted from the inside.

"..."

Is this treating our old Li as a thief?
Hey, you old grandson, you're really an asshole!

However, at least Xuanzang took the elixir.

After walking out of the house, he also closed the door, feeling the slowly resurging peace of the room behind him, and the trace of the nascent Dao rhyme in the east wing opposite, Li Zhen sat back at the stone table again.

The chat with the old grandson just now was actually bragging and farting in essence.

It's not so much a discussion, it's better to say it's teasing the poor.

It's good to be boring with your buddies, you can be smart and confused, just be happy.

But now that there was no one there, he sighed faintly.

This matter... is a bit troublesome.

Young national teacher.

Middle-aged Taoist.

And... that mysterious Wuyu old man.

To be honest, in the final analysis, this matter was actually instigated by the old Taoist Wuyu.

If it wasn't for his box... Li Zhen felt that a storyteller wouldn't be able to catch the eyes of the national teacher.

But there was something odd about this.

How does the national teacher know that he can absorb Jinren?

He was puzzled, and at the same time, he didn't think deeply about it.Because at this moment, an even more absurd possibility in his heart occupied all his thoughts.

Taoist Wuyu, why can he take the inheritance of the national teacher and give it to himself?
And after he refused to enter the so-called "treasure house", he used an attitude of... forcing it to himself.

He asked himself, his vision of seeing people is still accurate.

Wuyu Laodao stuffed the box into his hand, and the gloating expression on his face couldn't be faked.

If it was something from the national teacher, how could he dare to gloat?

And the gathering of these contradictions, in the end, an extremely absurd idea popped up in his mind:

"Wuyu is an old man, could he be... also a national teacher?"

He didn't know why he had this idea.

But somewhere, an instinct made him more determined after this idea was born.

Absurd, but extremely true.

For a moment, his thoughts were in chaos.

Until Cui Wanrong's arrival.

"Shou Chu Taoist priest."

Hearing this movement, Li Zhen came back to his senses, and saw Cui Wanrong walking in surrounded by two maids carrying food boxes, he got up quickly:

"Fu Sheng Wuliang Tianzun, Pindao has met shopkeeper Cui."

He hadn't seen any members of the Cui family in the past few days, but looking at the elegant woman who was wearing a white dress with apricot flowers today, she looked well-educated, elegant and intelligent. Those suspicions were pushed to the back of his mind.

"I don't know that shopkeeper Cui is coming today, but what are your orders?"

"The Taoist priest speaks seriously, how dare he give orders, say such words, but complain about Wanrong's poor hospitality?"

"How dare you dare..."

Li Zhen shook his head quickly, and the two maids also put the small dishes in the food box on the stone table.

"Master, please."

After inviting Li Zhen to sit down, Cui Wanrong continued:

"I would also like to ask the Taoist priest to forgive me. Things in the city have been busy these days, and food and supplies have to be dispatched, so the Taoist priest and the mage have been neglected. I wonder how the injury of the mage Xuanzang is? Are you sober?"

"Well, I just woke up once and took the elixir refined by Daoist Sun..."

She was polite, so Li Zhen was polite to her.

But it seems that the other party should have eaten, and there is only a pair of chopsticks in the food box.

She handed it to Li Zhen herself:
"Master, please."

"Thank you."

Cui's food is hearty, and every meal consists of four dishes.

Two meat and two vegetables are packed in different food boxes to prevent Xuanzang from having difficulty eating chopsticks due to the mixed meat and vegetables when he wakes up at any time.

After seeing Li Zhen moving, Cui Wanrong glanced at the East Wing and asked:
"Daozhang Sun, are you back too?"

"Well, sleep in the house."

"……I see."

Although I can guess that the other party came to find me for something.

But Li Zhen chose to remain unchanged in response to all changes.

Eat and drink.

Sure enough, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Cui Wanrong suddenly said:
"Daoist Shouchu, I don't know... Xuan Junguan, has there been any news in the past few days?"

"..."

Li Zhen paused with chopsticks.

First, he looked up suspiciously and looked at her.

This girl is really not ugly.

Honestly, it's not ugly at all.

But that's not the point.

The point is the meaning behind her question.

Xuan Junguan, send a message to yourself?

What news?
Following this question, Li Zhen changed his mind and understood the other party's intention.

"Treasurer Cui."

Sitting up straight, he said to Cui Wanrong in a very formal tone for the first time:

"Xuan Junguan didn't get any news to Pindao. Besides, Pindao also said it before. My Xuanjunguan is dedicated to protecting the human race. For us, everything outside is just a passing dust. Therefore, if Shopkeeper Cui... or Cui Xiancheng, or even the Cui family, if they think this pool of dragon fire is useful to Xuan Jun Temple, it is unnecessary. At the same time, Pindao didn't think that doing these things...is anything so great. And The pindao will not get involved in this pool of dragons and flames, and the shopkeeper Cui and the county magistrate Cui can handle other matters. When Xuanzang wakes up, the three of them will leave. Please rest assured the shopkeeper Cui. "

These words are tantamount to saying to death that "Xuan Jun Guan and you have no meddling".

He felt that if he said that, the other party still wouldn't believe it...

Then do what you like.

But as everyone knows, after hearing this, Cui Wanrong's heart was relieved.

Indeed, she did not come today of her own will.

Early this morning, she received a letter from her family.

If there is no accident, in two days, two elders from the family will come over.The opponent has already passed Hengshan City.After receiving the news, the elder brother, for the sake of safety, asked himself to make sure and see what the way this high-ranking disciple of Xuan Junguan is.

Apparently, Cui Gan still didn't believe in the Priest Shouchu.

It's not that he thinks Li Zhen is a villain who doesn't agree with what he says.

Just kidding, people's great mercy is right there and cannot be tarnished.

But Cui Qian also understands that being compassionate and gaining benefits are two different things.

Why kneel when you can make money standing up?

That's the truth.

So, he asked his sister to confirm again.

Are you sure that Xuan Jun's concept doesn't account for half of this pool of dragon fire, right?
So Cui Wanrong came.

But at this moment, under the clear and calm eyes of the Taoist, he lost the idea of ​​speaking out for the many rhetoric and temptations he had prepared.

At this time, if you confirm it again and again, it will really damage the face of the Cui family.

And all she can do is express her admiration in her heart:
"Shou Chu Taoist priest, it's my job to be a villain. But at this time, after all, the Taoist priest and Master Xuanzang occupy the first place. Such a great virtue, the Cui family must repay it. The purpose of the Taoist priest to come to Hedong... these In time, Wanrong can probably guess it, but for the people of Hedong County?"

"Oh?"

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

The heart said that the other party was really smart.

After all, what he told the former steward Cui was to find Lao Du by himself.

Unexpectedly, this would make the shopkeeper Cui guess it directly.

Now that you have guessed it, you won't hide it.

Nodding generously:
"To be honest, it is."

Picking up the chopsticks again, he sighed:
"Alas... After the military disaster in Hedong, when Keming and I were in Hongnong, we heard that the food grown by the common people here was looted by the rebel bandits. And after the rebel conferred the head, His Majesty did not forgive them, nor did he say relief. The matter of money and food...Pindao wanted to take a look."

"...So, the reason why Brother Du Shi suddenly proposed to his family that he wanted to work in Hedong is also related to the Taoist chief...Huh?"

While Cui Wanrong was talking, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Subconsciously, a pair of eyes fixed on the Taoist priest in front of him:
"What did the priest just say?"

"what?"

Li Zhen was taken aback:
"what?"

"When did the Taoist priest go to Hongnong? Did he go with Brother Du?"

"Yeah. What?"

"...The Taoist priest has been to Shangluo?"

"Uh...been there."

"...and brother Du Shi?"

"Ah."

"..."

After getting the answer, in an instant, Cui Wanrong's eyes were a little... inexplicably shocked and dull.

Recalling that day in the collapsed mine pit, clouds of mist appeared out of nowhere around the Taoist in front of him and penetrated into the ground.

Thinking again... the information I heard from Shangluo and Hongnong counties a month ago.

The gods came to the world, manipulating the golden light and mist to cultivate the land.

Afterwards, he walked away without leaving his name.

A total of two people...

"No...is it you?"

she asked subconsciously.
