colorful butterfly

Chapter 89 Entrusted by Others
To the east of the capital, there is a small mountain. At this time, the mountain is green and orange. The autumn wind has filled the low potholes with withered and yellow leaves. The path on the mountain is also covered by these fallen leaves. Ben's face, halfway up the mountain, there is a Taoist temple with a white house. This Taoist temple seems to be in a barren land. The white wall looks like an old man who has experienced countless vicissitudes. There are many cracks that have been repaired. You can tell by the color. Like a long-sick person, he was healed many times, and it didn’t collapse, which is the best result. The house inside is also old, and the black tiles have long faded from their original color, turning gray-black, with no luster at all. , the structure of this house is different from other places, and it still maintains the same architectural style for thousands of years, like a stone sculpture left over a thousand years ago, standing there stubbornly.

Li Qingzhu looked at the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him, and his heart seemed a little heavy. Looking at the vermilion wooden gate at the entrance, too much background color had been revealed, and the original vermilion color was dotted in the endless night sky like sparse stars. Most of it has fallen off and disappeared.She knocked hard on the door, and there was a low voice from the door, but there was no movement inside, and she knocked hard again, and she heard the sound of footsteps on the inside of the door, walking slowly, someone should have heard the knock on the door He opened the door, but the door didn't open immediately, and a word came from inside, "Who is here?" The voice sounded a little old, like an old man.

Li Qingzhu cleared his throat, and replied: "I came here at the invitation of Lord Yi Ciyuan, please open the door." The people inside probably knew who was coming, so they opened the door.

The two doors opened slightly tremblingly, and the person who opened the door was a Taoist priest dressed in white and black, with a gray hair bun on the top of his head, and a light yellow vine tree that was also aged was inserted. His eyes are dull, but there is still a trace of vigilance, his chin is slightly long, and his long beard is also flowery white, drooping like a willow, and his wrinkles are inlaid in this pale white like the repaired wall seams. face.

He looked at Li Qingzhu, looked up and down, stretched out his head, and looked around, as if looking for any dangerous aura, maybe because he felt safe, and then said: "Come in!"

Li Qingzhu followed the old Taoist priest through a room where god statues were placed. Various tributes were placed under the statues. The smoke in the incense burner wafted a strong fragrance, which made people's noses itchy and wanted to sneeze.She covered her nose with a handkerchief, looked around, and then walked through a narrow and dimly lit corridor, the floor of which was covered with green bricks, and passed through several empty rooms with unknown uses, and came to In the last room, this room is very large. On the shelves, there are some ancient books with yellowed skins and some damaged skins. They should be some Taoist classics. They are all placed on a wooden shelf against the wall. Although the books are old A little bit, but the arrangement is only neat.The old Taoist reached out his hand behind a shelf, and after pressing some mechanism, one side of the bookshelf turned at an angle. Here was a secret door, which led to nowhere. The old Taoist turned his head and signaled her to follow in.

After walking another dark road, I finally came to a secret room, which was dimly lit, without windows, and there was a musty smell in the air, which was also mixed with a bit of blood, which was disgusting.A few oil lamps emitted faint light, illuminating the secret room, and a bed was faintly seen inside, and there seemed to be a person lying on the bed.When Li Qingzhu approached, he saw that the lying person seemed to be seriously injured.

Li Qingzhu stared at the bed, wondering who that person was, and muttered in her heart: "Don't be the master." When she found out that it wasn't her master, she gasped heavily, and her nervous expression slowly faded away. Relieved, she was glad.

The person lying there was actually a man.It turned out that the master wanted to save this person, but after a closer look, this person was not young, and his appearance was also strange, and he had never seen him before.

The man's body was covered with white cloth sash, blood seeped out from time to time, the cloth sash was stained with blood, the color was as bright red as a peach blossom, and there were several wounds on his face, like a sword wound. His eyes were also covered with a cloth, and he might have been injured too. Judging by the state of this person, the injury was serious. He closed his eyes slightly and ignored people. It was like a faint cry.I can't hear clearly, maybe there are too many wounds, too deep, and the severe pain caused by it.

Li Qingzhu didn't know why the master asked her to come here to meet this person. This person must have a great relationship with the master, otherwise her old man would not let her come here at this time.Two days ago, Li Qingzhu received a note, which was sent to her by her master, saying that she was in trouble and asked her to come here.She knew that this matter was no small matter, and her current status was inconvenient to go out casually, so she left a note on the table and ran out secretly, ignoring the Jiang family, if she told the truth, Mother Jiang would definitely not let her out, so she had no choice but to come out The worst policy is to leave without saying goodbye.

She rushed here quickly, but there was no sign of her master. When she saw this seriously injured person, she knew that the master asked her to save this person. Although she didn't know who he was, what was certain was that he must be invisible A man of light might be a fugitive from the imperial court, otherwise, why can't he be rescued in a fair manner, but hide him here.For so many years, the master has never mentioned his identity, nor has he asked to do anything for her. At that time, he has repeatedly saved himself in danger. If there is no master, he may have died long ago.The master silently accompanied her since she was a child, helped her recuperate her body, and taught her martial arts. These kindnesses are greater than the sky. No matter what she is asked to do, she will do it. She believes that with the master's behavior, this person will definitely not be a villain.

The master didn't know where he was, and whether he was in danger.The only task now is to take good care of this person so that he can get well soon. She came here in a hurry and didn't bring any precious medicinal materials, so she sent some silver taels for someone to buy, and she took good care of this person's daily life .

As a princess, she has never worked as a maid, and she is a bit clumsy. Fortunately, in this Taoist temple, there is a little Taoist boy who looks about ten years old. He helps every day, fetches water, boils water, wipes his body, changes medicine, Do some rough work.

This Taoist temple is located in the middle of the mountain, so it is quite hidden. She is careful every time she goes down the mountain.For fear of being discovered by others, after these few days of careful care, the man's complexion gradually recovered, the wound was no longer inflamed, and scabs gradually formed in some places, but this man has never spoken, nor is he willing to pay attention to others. The sun is like a wooden man.Li Qingzhu spoke to him, but he never responded.

Li Qingzhu couldn't help but feel depressed, this person was so arrogant, and he ran out to take care of him so recklessly, without a word of thanks, or even a good face.Thinking about how the Jiang family would be very disappointed with her trip this time, his husband would be angry knowing that she left without saying goodbye and didn't say where she was going. I didn't expect this person to live up to his dedication like a wolf, and even felt a little bit Complaining about my master, why I gave myself such an errand, I can't figure it out.
