Beyond the Divine States

"Your master is quite famous in the state of Zhao. He thought that this time he would be invited out of the mountain to finish this matter. I didn't think it would end like this."

Zhao Shisong led the way in front of him and said with regret.

"But you don't have to be afraid. Maybe it's just cold and Yin accumulating in our house. Coupled with my wife's weakness, I'm not worried about the disease. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Ning long nodded and said, "master has been immersed in this way all his life, and finally died. In a sense, it's a good death."

Zhao Shisong did not think that the young man was so open-minded. He laughed a few times and said, "if things go well in the future, you will be better than others."

Ning Changjiu said, "thank you very much."

Ning Xiaoling walked silently.

When Zhao Shisong looked at her, he only felt that the little girl was pretty and lovely, but there was always something cool between her eyes. He couldn't help teasing her: "little girl, how old are you this year? How many years have you studied with your master?"

Ning Xiaoling honestly said, "at the age of 14, I have been practicing Taoism with my master for three years."

Zhao Shisong nodded and said, "I think you have a lot of wisdom. You should have learned a lot over the years, right?"

Ning Xiaoling cursed Ning Jishui a few words in her heart, but she said with a smile: "it doesn't matter. It takes years and years to cultivate Taoism."

"The little girl is modest."

"Mr. Zhao is flattered."

Zhao Shisong's residence is not far from each other, and the conversation begins.

There was a carriage at the gate of the residence. A Taoist priest with a yellow amulet on his forehead was coming out with his mouth chanting.

"This prescription used to be a good one. What's the matter now? Is it because I'm also infected? "

When the Taoist priest saw Zhao Shisong coming back, he immediately stood still, folded his fist and bowed his body, and apologized: "prince, forgive me for my incompetence. I can't understand my wife's illness. It's like evil or evil or evil or evil. I'm worried about my wife's illness."

Zhao Shisong sighed and said, "it doesn't matter. Take the money and go home."

The Taoist priest answered and noticed that Zhao Shisong was accompanied by two "little dots" in Taoist robes.

The man's face was slightly different, and he said strangely, "is that what you do?"

Ning long asked: "what's the matter?"

The Taoist priest walked around them two times, shook his head, and tut tut said: "Miao Zi is a good one, but listen to the elder's advice, go back, don't waste your effort."

Ning long ignored him, just looking at Zhao Shisong, said: "please Mr. Zhao lead the way."

The Taoist priest flushed with anger and jumped to his feet and said, "I can at least rank in the top five in our business in the imperial city. You can't listen to my good advice."

Ning long ignored him, and Zhao Shisong was dissatisfied with the Taoist's rambling model. Now he casually waved his hand and led Ning long to the mansion.

After a few steps, the Taoist turned to follow.

Ning Xiaoling was a little tired of him and frowned: "smelly Taoist, what are you doing here?"

The Taoist said angrily, "I'll just watch. If I don't disturb you, I want to open my eyes and see what means you have. How dare you be so young?"

Ning Xiaoling's fine eyebrow is erect, about to refute a few words, Ning Changjiu says directly: "it's OK, let him."

……

Through the court corridor, in the antique hospital room, the cough came from afar.

Standing at the door, the maid saw Zhao Shisong coming back and gave way after calling the master.

A young woman was lying on her side. Her cheeks were pale, her eyes half closed, and she coughed from time to time. She looked very beautiful.

Ning Xiaoling thought she would be a dignified and virtuous lady, but she didn't expect to be so young and beautiful. She looked about twenty years old, and she didn't know how many bedrooms she was.

When the woman saw Zhao Shisong, she put her hand on the brocade quilt and wanted to get up to salute. Zhao Shisong ran to her side and pressed her hand. Haosheng comforted her.

The woman took a look at this side and frowned: "the Taoist just left. Why did he come here again? I don't think he has any ability. It's annoying to walk around here."

"You..." the Taoist took a deep breath and sighed, "what madam said is."

Then she looked at the two strange faces and said with a weak smile, "this little Taoist has a pretty face. I can be happy to see him."

Ning didn't respond to her praise for a long time.

He looked around, looking over the top of the high beam, as if looking for something.

The Taoist looked at him with great interest, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Rather long hand into the sleeve touched, but nothing out.

The Taoist couldn't help laughing: "why, did you forget to bring the rune paper? How about I lend you some? "

The woman on the couch couldn't help frowning. Zhao Shisong glared at him, and the Taoist stopped laughing.

Never thought rather long actually spread out a hand: "lend me a copper money is good."

"Copper money?" The Taoist frowned: "are you kidding the Taoist?"

It's better to hold out for a long time.

The Taoist looked at the eyes of the people around him, sighed, untied his purse, took out a copper coin and threw it away.

Ning long took the money and put it on the wooden cabinet in front of the woman. After a while, he said, "OK."

Everyone was stunned.

All right? What will do?

The Taoist couldn't laugh or cry: "do you think we are all fools?"

As soon as Zhao Shisong was about to speak, he saw that the copper coin on the wooden cabinet had split into three parts. His mouth was half open and he looked at Ning Changjiu in surprise.

Ning Changjiu calmly looked at the young woman on the couch and asked:

"Feel better?"

The woman glanced at the coin with a smile and was about to shake her head. But when she looked at him, she felt that Lingtai was stiff and cold because of the cold winter wind.

After a while, the smile on the woman's face reappeared, "ah, I really feel better and lighter."

Zhao Shisong was overjoyed to see that she looked better. He looked at Xiang Ning for a long time with more kind eyes: "I used to think that spending money to eliminate disasters was just a joke. Today I met the Taoist priest and found that if it was really extraordinary, Zhao didn't know how to thank her."

Ning Changchang said, "my younger martial sister and I have no place to go."

Zhao Shisong even said: "come on, clean the room, and arrange for the Taoist to stay temporarily."

The Taoist was stunned and didn't know what happened: "this... This, are you playing with me together?"

Zhao Shisong is even more lazy to pay attention to him at the moment. He just waves his sleeve: "seeing off the guests."

"Ah, I..." that way was so popular: "my copper money!"

Ning long way: "owe."

……

midnight.

When the young woman wakes up from her couch, she lifts the curtain, stretches her body lazily, and reaches for her long hair.

She turned her head slowly and was about to light the light. Suddenly, she exclaimed, holding her heart in both hands and looking frightened.

In the dark room, beside an ancient wooden table, a figure was vaguely sitting.

"Don't pretend." The voice spoke and the candle lit.

"You... Are you?" The woman's chest undulating, angry strange way: "you little Taoist, I see you look pretty in the daytime, but also when you are a good man, what do you want to do when you break into my boudoir in the middle of the night? Go out now, or I'll call someone else! "

Ning long turned his chair and looked at her calmly: "tell me something about your miss."

"Miss?" The woman grabbed her collar. "What nonsense are you asking? Do you think I look like a servant? "

Ning Changchang said: "these days you are lying in bed pretending to be ill, so you should not be able to go out. I have met your lady in the daytime. Let me tell you about her."

The woman gazed at him and immediately laughed: "you men, old and young, are all the same. You've come here, and you're serious with your sister. Ah, if you treat me, I'll promise you. If you hear me, I'll beat you out."

Rather long asked: "do not want to hear?"

The woman laughed and said, "you little Taoist are unreasonable. Come on, I'll listen to you. Who is my master?"

Ning Changjiu said: "she has many pieces in the city, but it's not easy for her to make a hasty layout and coordinate the communication between all parties. You haven't received a letter from your master for several days."

The woman shook her head and said, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Ning Changjiu continued: "because she has also been seriously injured. I think so many people want to kill her

The woman looked at the boy who was separated by the lights and said, "you just want to say these irrelevant words to me?"

Ning Changchang said: "I'm just an ordinary Taoist. I haven't determined my position yet. Every word you say next may influence me."

The woman's eyes trembled and immediately calmed down. She said with a smile, "I haven't seen an ordinary Taoist who broke into a woman's room."

Ning long did not answer, just quietly looking at her, the woman suddenly felt that sitting in front of her, as if it was not a person, but a ghost without temperature.

She gradually gathered her smile: "ordinary Taoist? What are you doing in the imperial city? Don't fool me with such things as acting for heaven. "

Ning Changchang said: "I don't need to explain to you. If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, I have the ability to keep myself, so naturally I have the ability to intervene."

"Well? The tone is not small The woman looked at the young man sitting in front of her, and her breathing slowed down.

Ning Changjiu said, "just tell me the simplest story of your lady. You don't need to sell anything."

"The simplest?"

"Well, like her name, like what happened three years ago."

Her name? Three years ago? Do you still have a lot of trouble scaring me about this kind of thing? Ask anyone in the palace who doesn't know? Am I stupid or are you stupid? The woman was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Ning long thought that she did not want to say, lazy nonsense. I don't know when a gold hairpin stopped from the dressing table and came to the front of the woman. It almost stuck to the tip of the nose. The woman's throat stirred and she carefully swallowed her saliva“ Are you testing me? " A woman will never give up“ No, "he said Rather long sit quietly waiting for her answer, he raised his hand, all over the body suddenly sent out a deadly killing. The woman admitted her fate and sighed: "Miss Zhao Guoguo's surname, her name is Xiang'er, three years ago..." Zhao Xiang'er... In the silent night, she slowly talked about the past.
