Hearty laughter came from the cave, and an old man with gray hair and a childish face walked out quickly:
"It turns out to be Mei Niang. Why do you have time to come here to see me today? You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace without anything to do. Tell me, if you have anything to do, just say it."
"Uncle Shen, what are you talking about?" Mei Niang stamped her foot: "If I have nothing to do, I can't come and see your old man. If your old man doesn't like it, he can just leave, and he will never come back again.
"
"Haha--welcome, welcome, I'm not happy that you can come. Why don't you welcome me? Please come in quickly."
Amid the laughter of the old man, several people walked in one after another. The cave was decorated very simply, plain and tidy, as warm as spring, with a stone table, several stone chairs, and a futon lying across it.
"Everyone can sit wherever they want, no need to be restrained."
The old man waved his hand, and the haze floated, and several boys with red lips and white teeth appeared. The boys held flowers and fruits, and placed them on the stone table one by one. Fine wine was also served, and the fragrance was overflowing, making people intoxicated.
"The mountains are high and there are no good things to entertain you. There are only some flowers, fruits and wine for everyone to enjoy."
A few people chatted and laughed happily. After talking for a while, Mei Niang made her purpose clear. The old man smiled and said, "It's a good thing to cure diseases and save people. Just tell me how much ginseng is needed."
"It doesn't take much."
Mei Niang smiled and stretched out her hand, grabbed the old man's beard, shook it gently, and several long beards fell:
"Just a little bit is enough."
"Oh, stop, stop."
As soon as the beard was caught, the old man blew his nose and stared:
"Well, you beautiful girl, no matter how big or small, isn't it just to save a mortal? Just one stick is enough. Don't pull it any more. If you pull it again, you will pull it clean."
Standing up, the old man protected his precious beard with one hand and stayed far away from Mei Niang. He was afraid that Mei Niang would go crazy and pull away a few precious beards with one hand, which would really kill him.
After getting the Ziyun Dragon Ginseng Beard, Zhang Yutang and others did not stay long and left the cave on an excuse. When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, the ginseng fairy pulled Mei Niang aside and muttered:
"Mei Niang, before I leave, I have a message for you. You must keep it in mind. The iron law of Shinto is the same as that of humans and demons. You must not make mistakes and let hundreds of years of practice go to waste."
Mei Niang's face flushed at first, and then she felt resentful: "Who would like my dignified appearance? Even if I like others, they may not like me."
"The cause is determined by fate, and the destiny is determined by man. Everything is uncertain." The old man smiled mysteriously: "Go, go, it's important to save people, don't waste time."
As soon as they left the Shenxian Cave Mansion, when they turned back, they saw mountain walls, clumps of ancient trees, and green grass everywhere. There were caves and flowing springs everywhere.
"You two, I have obtained the Purple Rhythm Dragon Ginseng now, and I want to go back to save people. We will see you later."
Zhang Yutang cupped his fists, and the green boat appeared under his feet and walked away in the air.
"Caiyin, do you think he will remember saving a person named Mei Niang in the future?"
"Sister, we are fairies and he is a human. Don't think too much about it. You can't be together."
"Who said that, when I succeed in my practice and get rid of the birthmark on my face, I will definitely go to him. At that time, the talented man and the beautiful woman will fly together."
…
Qiantang is thousands of miles away from Phoenix Mountain, and Zhang Yutang has been away for more than a day and has not returned yet. Xu Jiaorong can only force a smile when she looks at her smiling father next to her.
She knew that if Zhang Yutang could not come back in time, her father would only have three days left to live.
A Bao, Li Yong, who delivered a letter to the Zhang family, soon returned to the Security Hall. In addition to Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang also walked in. Looking at the rosy-faced Doctor Xu, she said with some surprise:
"I heard from Abao and the others that Doctor Xu, you are ill, and you drank the talisman water to become like this, as if you were fine."
"Yes, thanks to your master's talisman water, otherwise I would still be lying in bed eating and waiting to die."
Doctor Xu asked Yuan Zhang and Mrs. Zhang to their seats, ordered the servants to get into the water, and said apologetically:
"Because of my affairs, I made my son travel thousands of miles to Fenghuang Mountain to seek Purple Rhythm Dragon Ginseng to cure my illness. I feel really sorry."
"That damn kid has been kind-hearted since he was a child. In order to do good deeds, he doesn't even know how much he weighs. He only knows how to show off his strength." Mrs. Zhang sat on the chair with worry on her face: "I heard someone say,
There are many man-eating goblins on Phoenix Mountain. If my son is not careful and encounters such a goblin, how will he survive?"
When I said the last sentence, my voice couldn't help but feel a little miserable.
Zhang Yuanwai comforted him from the side: "Yu'er has his own destiny, you don't have to worry."
"Humph, he's not a piece of meat that fell off your body. Of course you don't have to worry about it. My poor son, why did he end up with such a cruel father?"
Doctor Xu was listening on the sidelines, neither standing nor sitting, with a look of embarrassment on his face:
"It's all my fault. It's really not worth it for a child to risk my life. Outside of Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, please do whatever you want to do with me. I have no complaints."
"What are you talking about, Dr. Xu? As a fellow villager, no one needs anyone."
Zhang Yuanwai smiled and said:
"She is just so angry right now that she just needs to vent her anger."
The few of them chatted together for a while, then they had nothing to talk about. They sat in silence until it was dark and Zhang Yutang did not come back. Outside of Zhang Yuan, Mrs. Zhang asked Li Yong and A Bao to wait at Zhang Mansion.
The two returned to Zhang Mansion.
After returning home, she tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Mrs. Zhang even secretly cried several times. She put on her clothes, walked out of the room, looked at the bright moon in the sky and murmured to herself:
"I hope we will live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart. Yu'er, you have to be good and don't let anything happen to you."
"Let it go, Yu'er will be fine."
Behind him, Zhang Yuanwai walked gently, holding a piece of clothing and draped it on Mrs. Zhang:
"It's late at night and you're exposed. Don't let your body catch a cold. Go back to the house and sleep. When you wake up, your son will be back. Three days will pass quickly."
…
No matter what happened, life still had to go on. When the bright sunshine shone on the earth, a group of people came steadily from the street. In the middle of the group was a large sedan chair. It turned out to be the Eight Prefecture Patrolmen who had just arrived in Qiantang yesterday.
according to.
"Sir, Zhang Mansion has arrived."
When the sedan arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion, someone lay down in front of the sedan and said something.
"Get off the sedan!"
The sedan was gently put down, and a middle-aged man walked out of the sedan. Someone trotted over and gently supported him.
"Is this the Zhang Mansion? It really has an extraordinary atmosphere. No wonder a talent like a Saint Master can emerge from it."
The middle-aged man is thin, tall and upright, walking tall and graceful, with extraordinary demeanor.
"Please ask someone to knock on the door. Don't disturb Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang."
"Yes, sir."
At that moment, a government official stepped forward and gently shook the doorbell.
"Who is it?"
The door of Zhang's Mansion creaked and slowly opened to both sides.
