Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 188
It was three poles high in the sun, and Zi Jing was sitting at the stone table in the yard, basking in the sun while sipping tea slowly, very leisurely, if not for the dirty clothes, she would have looked like an old Taoist cultivator.Su Qingxue held Bai Ling'er in her arms and looked around at the intersection behind Meifeng Temple, looking restless, walking back and forth, leaning forward and looking into the distance, waiting for someone.

It turned out that Zijing left Li Wenxuan below, secretly observed for a while, and saw that although Li Wenxuan was not strong enough, walking up the steep slope was difficult, but his life was not in danger, so he rushed back to Meifeng Temple first, and went directly into the house sleep.Su Qingxue got up early and didn't see Li Wenxuan. She was wondering, but she didn't want her apprentice to disappear, but the master suddenly jumped out. She felt that Zijing must know where Li Wenxuan had gone.Su Qingxue pestered Zijing to ask for a long time, but Zijing just couldn't explain clearly, she said that Li Wenxuan went out to buy wine, and then said that Li Wenxuan went to relax, but in short, she didn't mention Li Wenxuan's practice .In the end, Su Qingxue really couldn't handle it, so Zijing had no choice but to say that Li Wenxuan had gone to the village below to find a young daughter-in-law to play with. I waited stupidly at the intersection, thinking that no matter where Li Wenxuan went, he would have to come back anyway, and then I would ask Li Wenxuan to find out, if Li Wenxuan really dared to sneak down the mountain to do some shameful things, I would definitely Call him pretty.

Finally, a tattered and dirty figure stumbled in from the gate of Meifeng Temple. Who else could this person be if not the half-dead Li Wenxuan tossing on the steep slope?
Li Wenxuan's life almost fell on the steep slope. Originally a young and beautiful boy, he was tortured to look like a refugee fleeing from famine. His clothes were torn many times. He was probably even more sloppy than the beggar's outfit Zijing was wearing. A few minutes later, the turban that tied the hair was hung off by a tree branch, and the hair was scattered, covering half of the face, but there was a bruise on the exposed half of the face, Li Wenxuan I only know that it hurts, but when it comes to where it hurts, there are too many bumps and bumps along the way, and I can't tell. As for the small injuries on my body, there are more, and a few are broken Flesh, it seems that it is extremely pitiful.

"Master, Wenxuan is back..." Li Wenxuan had exhausted his strength a long time ago, his body went limp, and he slumped down in front of Zijing, holding the teapot on the table, gulping down his mouth in one gulp, gasping for air. With a rough breath, his mental head improved a little.

Ordinarily, Zi Jing should feel sorry for Li Wenxuan tossing like this, who knows that Zi Jing turned a blind eye to Li Wenxuan's embarrassment, just looked at the shadow of a wooden stick stuck beside him, and then looked at the sky. In the direction of the sun, he curled his lips and said, "Oh, it's too slow, too slow, it's about this time, alas! It still doesn't work, it seems that you can't practice this quick method!"

"Master... I..." Li Wenxuan was thinking about how hard he had worked so hard, but he finally came up from the steep slope and lost half of his life. He hoped that the master would praise him, or watch him I comforted myself with a few words for the sake of my scars, but I didn't expect that not only were there none of these, but I was also scolded by the master. When a basin of cold water was poured, Li Wenxuan felt a hundred grievances in his heart, his heart was sour, and he felt very sad It's not the taste, it's just that I don't know how to say it.

"Master, Wenxuan did his best today, but... Wenxuan can only go so far..." Li Wenxuan said, his words were very frustrated, and there was also some complaint.

Zijing turned to look at Li Wenxuan, her eyes were like fire, and asked, "What did you say? You mean you can only do this?"

Li Wenxuan lowered his head and said nothing, obviously acquiescing.

Zijing took a deep breath and said again: "Okay, let me ask you, if in the past, no one taught you the knack of this movement method, let you walk up from the bottom with your past skills, do you think you can walk up alive?" Did you come up? Even if you climbed up the rope, you said, how long will it take you? How long did it take you to come up today? This is just the beginning for you to practice, and you are so afraid of danger , what can you do in the future, then just pretend that I haven't taught you anything!"

Since Li Wenxuan worshiped Zijing as his teacher, although Zijing had a bad temper and often teased and scolded Li Wenxuan, Li Wenxuan knew that it was only due to the temperament of the master, just joking.But now Li Wenxuan was really angry when he saw Zijing for the first time. Li Wenxuan secretly glanced at Zijing's expression, and felt that it was indescribably severe, just like when he made a mistake when he was a child and was punished by his father, Li Wenxuan dared not Looking at it more, the head drooped desperately, but I felt more and more uneasy in my heart.

The two were silent for a while, and the scene was very awkward. Li Wenxuan thought that since the master was angry, he couldn't stay still like this. It's better to say that he apologized first and eased it up, and we'll talk about the rest later.Li Wenxuan was about to open his mouth to admit his mistake, but he heard a bird singing behind him. Looking back, it was Su Qingxue who heard movement in the yard at the intersection and turned back.

Su Qingxue looked at Zijing sitting with a man in rags, at first she felt a little strange, where did this person find this place?Strange in my heart, I took another look, only to see that the dirty man was actually Li Wenxuan, Li Wenxuan was a decent person, how could he look like a beggar after not seeing him for a long time?In a panic, Su Qingxue accidentally pinched Bai Ling'er, and Bai Ling'er began to cry.

"Wenxuan, what did you do? Why...how did you become like this? Ah——you were injured, and your arm is bleeding!" Su Qingxue ran to Li Wenxuan quickly, crying.Seeing so many scars on Li Wenxuan's body, Bai Ling'er was very hostile to Li Wenxuan, but seeing Su Qingxue crying, she didn't peck Li Wenxuan again this time, and limped to the ground. side.

Su Qingxue grabbed Li Wenxuan's clothes, stared at Li Wenxuan, her eyes were already full of tears, Li Wenxuan wanted to comfort Su Qingxue, and had to say good things to her master, at the moment she didn't know what to do, so she cast her eyes on Zijing, wanting to The master offered to help, but Zijing was angry, so who cares about Li Wenxuan?He walked out with his hands behind his back, leaving Li Wenxuan and Su Qingxue here.

"What the hell did you do? Why didn't you speak?" Su Qingxue asked again.

"I..." Li Wenxuan was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that the master had told him that he could not tell Su Qingxue about learning this lightness kung fu. Things, accidentally... I accidentally fell down, don't worry, it's all skin trauma, it's not a problem."

Su Qingxue was gently wiping the lumps of bruises on Li Wenxuan's body. Hearing Li Wenxuan's words, she didn't doubt it at first, but after thinking about something wrong, she said again: "No, how can you buy something so big? Haven't seen anyone for a long time? Besides, I've been waiting for you at the intersection, why didn't I see you coming back from the road, and you didn't go shopping for a robbery, how could you get injured all over your body? Tell me honestly, what did you do? .”

Seeing that Li Wenxuan was still silent, Su Qingxue said again: "Tell the truth, no matter what you did, I don't blame you!"

Li Wenxuan secretly groaned in his heart, and was thinking about how to lie, but Su Qingxue said again: "Could it be that you really..."

Li Wenxuan was puzzled and asked, "Really what?"

Su Qingxue's face was originally covered with spring rain, but suddenly it became pouring rain, and she said: "Your master came back last night, and the master said that you... went down the mountain to look for... Did you go down the mountain to find a girl, and you were caught by someone?" Hit, right!"

Su Qingxue looked at Li Wenxuan angrily. As Zijing said, she was like a little tigress, pouting and staring, tears streaming down her cheeks, her jade teeth rattling. It seemed that she wanted to eat Li Wenxuan. Li Wenxuan kept complaining in his heart: "Master, you can just say that you don't know. Why do you have to talk nonsense and always make problems for the apprentice? How can you tell me to give me a lesson?" Qingxue explained."

The facial features on Li Wenxuan's face were all squeezed together, and he stretched out his hand to wipe Su Qingxue's tears, but his hand was black and black, not only did not wipe off the tears, but also added a gray spot to Su Qingxue's pink and tender face. Lost paw prints.Li Wenxuan didn't dare to say it, for fear of adding fuel to the fire.I had no choice but to keep saying: "Qingxue, don't listen to the master... don't listen to the master, I'm actually... actually..." Li Wenxuan pondered for a long time, and said simply: "I actually went to Putian Temple!"

"Putian Temple?" Putian Temple was obviously a bit of a surprise to Su Qingxue, her tears stopped temporarily, but Su Qingxue still choked a little from time to time, and asked, "What did you go to Putian Temple for? Let me tell you first, don't lie to me!"

Li Wenxuan stretched out his hand to pull Su Qingxue's hand, but Su Qingxue refused, and with a strong shake, Li Wenxuan's hand was pushed away. Li Wenxuan sighed and swore: "Qingxue, I swear to heaven, I I really went to Putian Temple in the evening, if I lie to you, I will be unloved and cared for the rest of my life, and I will die alone in the end!" Although Li Wenxuan swore, he knew it very well in his heart: "God, I am indeed It’s not wrong for me to swear that I went to Putian Temple, so please don’t really punish me.”

Seeing Li Wenxuan swearing indiscriminately, Su Qingxue was afraid that it would come true, so she hurriedly waved her hand to pull Li Wenxuan's hand to stop him from talking nonsense, and Li Wenxuan took the opportunity to grab Su Qingxue's hand firmly. He didn't move, and let Li Wenxuan hold it, but he still didn't quite believe what Li Wenxuan said, and asked again: "Tell me honestly, where did you go?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Qingxue, I didn't lie to you. I really went to Putian Temple. In order to take a shortcut, I took the steep slope in the middle. If you don't believe me, look at my clothes and my clothes. The wounds were all scratched on the road."

Su Qingxue put aside the annoyance in her heart, looked at Li Wenxuan's body was covered with scars, and felt pain in her heart, so she was also half-believing, and asked again: "Then you are doing well, where are you going to do, this steep slope is so dangerous, what are you doing?" I really don't want my life!" Su Qingxue's tone seemed to be complaining, but in fact it was full of caring, Li Wenxuan also felt that he didn't tell Su Qingxue the truth, and he was a little sorry for her, but he had already promised his master, so he had no choice but to Bite the bullet and lie to the end.

Li Wenxuan turned his head quickly, and continued: "Qingxue, it's like this. I didn't make you angry last night. You didn't cook for me. As a result, I was very hungry in the middle of the night. It happened that the master came back. I heard the master said that Putian The food made by the temple kitchen is very delicious, so I couldn't hold it back for a while, so I went out in the middle of the night, and went...to steal food from Putian Temple."

After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, his heart was pounding violently, for fear that Su Qingxue would not believe the lies she made up.

"You...you..." Su Qingxue was about to cry again anxiously. Seeing Su Qingxue like this, Li Wenxuan was even more disturbed. Su Qingxue didn't want Su Qingxue to say: "Do you really want to make people worry to death? For some food, you ran so far and made it like this, don't be ashamed!"

Li Wenxuan sighed, thinking that Su Qingxue was finally deceived by him for a while, but seeing that Su Qingxue was worried about herself, she felt extremely guilty, and said, "Okay, I won't call you in the future." Just worry about it, okay?"

As Li Wenxuan spoke, he pulled Su Qingxue into his arms.

"Cough—cough—" There was a cough outside the door, Li Wenxuan and Su Qingxue both knew that Zi Jing had returned, so they hurriedly separated, fearing that Zi Jing would see their intimate appearance.

As if nothing had happened, Zijing came in staggeringly, fearing that she had been eavesdropping on the two people's speech just now.Li Wenxuan thought that the master was angry just now, and secretly felt guilty, and secretly looked at the master's face, which was still good, not as serious as before, so he felt a little relieved.

Zijing walked up to the two of them slowly, and said, "Su Yatou, when did you get cat paws on your face?"

"Cat's paw?" Su Qingxue was a little angry at Zijing, thinking that he lied to herself that Li Wenxuan had done this and that, without telling the truth. What's more, he caused Li Wenxuan to run to Putian Temple and come back with injuries all over his body. , I had already made up my mind to ignore him these two days, but when I heard about cat's paws, I was curious, and rubbed my little hand on her face, and it really left a gray patch, Su Qingxue snorted softly , blushing, turned around and ran back to his room, tidying up his face.

As soon as Su Qingxue left, Li Wenxuan felt relieved, and immediately said to Zijing: "Master, my apprentice told you the wrong thing before, please don't take offense, master!"

Zijing glanced at Li Wenxuan angrily, took out a purse from behind, threw it to Li Wenxuan, and said, "Use these things to boil water to wipe your body, so you don't need to practice during the day, just rest."

Li Wenxuan thanked Zijing first, opened the purse, and saw that it was full of safflower, panax notoginseng, angelica and other things that reduce swelling and relieve pain. Li Wenxuan sighed in his heart: "Master is not so unreasonable, this herbal medicine is obviously early. Just prepare it for me, alas!" Li Wenxuan raised his head and was about to thank the master, but the master was gone, and the one who was clearly in front of him just now was able to walk so silently. Added a bit of yearning, if I can also practice such agility in the future, it will be worth it to suffer a little bit now.

Su Qingxue went into the house and tidied it up, and when she came out, she saw Li Wenxuan, and Zijing was missing, which was also strange, but Li Wenxuan shook her head, not knowing where Zijing had gone.Su Qingxue didn't ask any more questions. She dragged Li Wenxuan into the house, and asked about all the details of Putian Temple. Except for not mentioning the master, Li Wenxuan told the truth, Su Qingxue didn't see Flaws, there is no longer any doubt.

Li Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but in the middle of the night, the quilt was pulled up quietly, and after tossing and tossing on the steep slope for so long, he was already sleepy and tired, so tired that he had cleaned up his injuries, and fell asleep.Su Qingxue couldn't bear to disturb him, and she didn't bother Li Wenxuan either.

Li Wenxuan slept for half an afternoon. After getting out of bed, although he felt some pain all over his body, it was all skin trauma, and it didn't matter. Li Wenxuan went to look for Su Qingxue. Xue was playing with Bai Ling'er in the room, but the master was nowhere to be seen.

Bai Ling'er's injuries healed quickly. After more than ten days of hard work, more than half of them were healed, and she was already flying low with her wings flapping. However, Su Qingxue was worried that she might break her bones, so she walked away all day long. So take Bai Ling'er somewhere, and don't let this little guy mess around.

Su Qingxue only looked at Bai Ling'er, but didn't see Li Wenxuan right behind her, it was Bai Ling'er who called out twice, Su Qingxue realized that there was someone behind her, and turned around and asked, "You're awake, are you here?" How's the injury on your body? Does it still hurt?"

Sitting beside Su Qingxue, Li Wenxuan said with a smile, "If you can rub it for me, it won't hurt."

Su Qingxue chuckled, knowing that Li Wenxuan must be fine if she said that, she said, "I won't get angry and refuse to cook for you again, and you shouldn't mess around like this, okay? What if something goes wrong?"

Li Wenxuan smiled and said: "It's also my fault. I've only been thinking about practicing kung fu recently, and I haven't had much time to talk to you, so I should be punished!" Su Qingxue lowered her head, her face flushed slightly, and Li Wenxuan said again: "But look at me It’s okay, the steep slope looks dangerous, but it’s really nothing to walk on.” Li Wenxuan deliberately said it lightly, because Li Wenxuan guessed that it was the first time today, and maybe the master will come to him on a whim one day. She had to let herself do this terrible thing, so she reassured Su Qingxue in advance.

Su Qingxue was a little unhappy, and said: "I don't even know what you think, the monks are all vegetarians, why are you going to take such a big risk."

Seeing Su Qingxue ask, Li Wenxuan made a fool of himself with what he heard from Zijing at night, how good and delicious the food in the kitchen of Putian Temple is, and how the imperial chef has surpassed him. No, regardless of whether it was true or not, they all moved out. Su Qingxue was dubious, so she didn't say any more.
