During this meal, the two of them didn't say a word and ate very quietly.
Chen Guan did not ask the woman about the Taoist gestures used to heal her wounds. In the past twenty years, he did not have extravagant hopes for cultivating Taoism. He understood that it was only a matter of luck to me and life to me.
However, he knew that the woman's injury was very critical, so after eating, he went up the mountain to collect medicines, hoping to encounter some good medicinal materials such as Shouwu Ganoderma and Ganoderma lucidum. However, he found nothing. Until evening, he had no choice but to return to the temple.
I still saw the woman sitting and gathering her energy.
As soon as the woman saw Chen Guan coming back, she quickly opened her eyes and saw that there was no one behind Chen Guan and he was the only one coming back. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Guan saw this and gestured with his hands to ask her if she didn't want others to know her?
The woman nodded and closed her eyes again to gather her energy.
For seven or eight days in a row, Chen Guan went up the mountain to collect herbs, but he couldn't find any good herbs. Every day when he looked back at the meal, he felt guilty for the woman, but to his surprise, the woman's face looked better and better.
On the morning of the tenth day, the woman suddenly stretched out her left hand to ask Chen Guan to take her pulse. Chen Guan was confused and took the woman's pulse again carefully. He found that the woman's pulse was in the three parts of Cun Guan Chi. The pulse was neither floating nor sinking, not big.
It is not small, the rhythm is even, calm and gentle, fluent and powerful, and the Chi pulse is constantly sinking and taking. This is a sign of healthy pulse. The Qi and blood in the chest are active, which is completely different from the previous woman who was injured and had all three Yin meridians blocked.
"It's amazing! I almost recovered without taking any medicine. Could it be that she was gathering energy to heal her wounds? Cultivation has such magical effects, right? It turns out that there really is a secret to monasticism in the world. The old Taoist priest didn't lie to me, although I didn't find it.
The method is there, but it doesn't mean there is none." Chen Guan was also happy for her in his heart, but he also understood that the woman's meditation and Qi gathering gestures could not be learned by others. They must be supplemented by spiritual practice. If a layman were to force them to learn it, they would just have to learn it.
It can be similar in form, but cannot be divine.
Besides, Chen Guan has a strong character, so why would he secretly learn other people's gestures and techniques?
What puzzled him was that this woman who fell from the crane was really mysterious. What was her origin?
In the next ten days, the woman continued to perform Taoist techniques to gather energy, and her injuries were almost healed. She hardly left the house, only stroking the huge wing feathers and looking at the sky outside the window, her eyes filled with expectation.
Chen Guan knew that she was waiting for the huge red-crowned crane to pick her up.
"She is just a passing visitor. She will leave as soon as the giant crane comes, and her relationship with me is only a short one." Chen Guan felt slightly disappointed in his heart, but he did not show it at all.
The weather has long since returned to normal, there are no longer heavy rains, and the huge red-crowned crane has never appeared again.
The woman waited for more than ten days to no avail. She seemed to have slowly calmed down, and there was no anxious look on her face. She kept everything hidden in her heart.
After the woman recovered from her internal injuries, she still never left the gate of the ancient temple. However, she was very diligent and cleaned the main hall, two side halls and the corridor for cooking under the eaves. Even the food enshrined in the main hall was cleaned.
The statue of the Taoist priest was also wiped spotlessly clean, and the toilet was flushed with water so that there was no smell at all.
"At least it's good for the statue of Patriarch Yu Ke!" Chen Guan saw it and smiled rarely.
The food she cooks is ten times more delicious than Chen Guan's. Even if it is white rice, green vegetables and tofu, when she cooks it, it will be full of color and flavor.
"The food you cook is so delicious!" Chen Guan praised while eating: "It's a pity that I still don't know your name?"
He asked in vain, knowing full well that the woman would not be able to reply to him.
Chen Guan tidied up the old Taoist priest's room, moved it there himself, and signaled the woman to live in his room. Men and women were not allowed to be intimate in broad daylight. Chen Guan understood this and did not want the woman to be wary of him.
When the woman was packing up Taoist classics for Chen Guan, she didn’t even take a look at the various Taoist scriptures. Several books were put upside down. Sure enough, she didn’t seem to know how to read. Chen Guan couldn’t write on the ground to communicate with her.
.
However, Chen Guan knew that the woman was definitely not deaf, because many times as soon as he looked back, the woman heard his footsteps and was waiting for him at the door.
That morning, after Chen Guan got up, he suddenly heard the soft sound of a woman's sexual intercourse. He hurried over to the woman's bed next door. The woman's face was slightly pale, with sweat on her forehead. She was swaying slightly from side to side on the bed, seemingly in pain.
Chen Guan was shocked, because he knew that although he was already twenty years old and was several years older than the woman, and he seemed tall and powerful, the woman was a monastic and her physique should be said to be far better than his own. Even that kind of
Serious injuries involving damage to all three meridians can be healed on their own, and ordinary ailments and pains should have been avoided long ago!
"Girl, you...what's wrong with you?" Chen Guan asked her hurriedly.
The woman forced herself to stand up, but her face suddenly turned red.
She got up and went to the corridor to boil a large pot of water. Chen Guan thought that she would take a shower when she got up in the morning. Didn't she take a shower last night? However, she still fell into the big wooden bathtub in the women's room.
The woman had slight abdominal pain and sore waist. After taking a bath, she found a pair of clean clothes and underwear to change into. When Chen Guan went to pour water, he found that the hot water turned red and had a slight fishy smell.
Although he didn't understand anything about men and women, he understood instantly: "Oh, this is her menarche!"
Chen Guan was not a Taoist monk and was not averse to eating meat. He went up the mountain to hunt a fat pheasant and brought it back. After cutting it open, he threw away the internal organs, scalded the hair with boiling water and stewed half a pot of pheasant soup for the woman.
The woman nodded, looking shy, but continued to drink two bowls of chicken soup.
For three or four days in a row, there was a small amount of blood on the underwear that the woman changed out of, which gradually became less and less, and finally disappeared completely.
In the days that followed, the woman still didn't speak. She seemed to gradually understand a little bit of Chen Guan's words. What remained unchanged was that she was very diligent every day. While practicing Taoism, she maintained a dilapidated ancient view with great dignity. Chen Guan
I simply went up to the roof again, repaired the broken tiles, and papered the windows with clear paper to make it warmer.
Chen Guan really enjoyed spending time with his woman in the ancient temple. Every time he collected herbs, he could see the smoke rising from the kitchen in the ancient temple. In his heart, he suddenly felt a sense of home and peace.
After more than ten days, Chen Guan went to town again and bought a lot of white soft cloth for the woman to use. On the way back to the temple, he unexpectedly met many Taoist priests. The monks were hurrying on their way.
These Taoist monks do not avoid the secular world today, and go out directly in Taoist robes and monks' clothes. Some of them have long swords on their backs and holding sticks in their hands. Although they are not masters who have survived thunder tribulations and cannot carry them in the air, every step they take
He walked forward with long strides of one or two meters, as if jumping up and down, obviously something big was going on.
"Taoist monks used to be very rare in this area of several dozen miles. What happened now?" Chen Guan was confused and heard Li Zhenbei chatting with three of his men and seven or eight townspeople at the Wang family tea stall: "The county government
An announcement has been issued. If you pick up any cultural relics or the like, the government will reward you greatly! The reward will be one hundred dollars!"
The crowd burst into envy. The Beiyang government was in chaos, but gold, silver, and ocean were always the most popular in the official and private markets. They could be used everywhere, and one hundred oceans was enough to buy four or five brick houses in the town.
If the big tile-roofed house was used for marriage, the wealthy families in the town would be willing to marry off their daughters!
Someone asked: "Captain Li, what's going on?"
Li Zhenbei's expression perked up and he said with a smile: "Do you still remember that it rained heavily for a long time almost a month and a half ago? I heard that on those days of heavy rain, it was the little Japanese ninja who was trapped on Guantao Mountain two hundred miles to the north.
When you live! That damn ninja actually escaped from Kanto to Guantao Mountain!"
Chen Guan was excited. He knew that Guantao Mountain was only a hundred miles away to the north. He also thought of the mysterious woman in the temple and listened carefully to what Li Zhenbei said.
It turned out that the group of Japanese ninjas really stole something important on Jiuding Iron Sha Mountain, but before they had time to take it back to Japan, they were blocked by the monks who came from Kanto!
"There are seven or eight Japanese ninjas, and all of them are elusive, especially the two leading ones, a man and a woman. They are both masters of surviving thunder tribulations. They can jump more than ten feet in one jump and create a whirlwind with a long sword.
! The Kwantung army could not stop them, and they did not dare to fire. But this time our domestic masters came out to be the master of the Baiyun Temple in Beijing, Shou Yue Zhenren, and the Jiuhua Mountain master Tie Hei. They brought Taoist and Buddhist monks with them.
There were more than twenty people in the sect training in Kanto. One of them chased the ninja, and the other blocked the ninja's road back to Japan! After fighting overtly and covertly, the ninja knew he was defeated, so he fled into the pass and passed through Beijing. After several fierce battles,
They are all hiding on Guantao Mountain." Li Zhenbei talked eloquently.
While listening to Li Zhenbei's words, Chen Guan nodded and said secretly: "That's it. The old Taoist priest once said that Master Shouyue is the top Taoist master of Bei Quanzhen Taoist Sect, and his Taoist power is no worse than that of the Tianshi Zhengyi in the south.
, the Taoist sect has four uncrowned masters, "Wind, Rain, Star and Moon", all of them are powerful. And Jiuhua Mountain is a famous mountain of the Buddhist sect, with many masters, "Golden Wutai, Silver Putuo, Bronze Emei, Iron Jiuhua" are equally famous all over the world.
Master Tiehei must be the Buddhist master 'Tie Jiuhua', they are all Taoism masters who have gone through the thunder tribulation!"
Li Zhenbei told everyone that Master Shouyue and Master Tiehei led the Buddhist and Taoist sects to pursue the ninjas to recover the stolen things. They fought with the ninjas several times and finally trapped all the ninjas on Guantao Mountain.
The competition lasted for several days and several times. It was dark, windy and rainy, and the ninjas did not dare to fight anymore!
But the ninja refused to hand over the stolen items. Just when Master Shouyue and Master Tiehei were about to go on a killing spree, the Beiyang government hurriedly dispatched a special case team and a special plane from the Japanese ninja and the Japanese army flew to Guantao Mountain to reconcile.
Although Zhenyue Shouyue and Tie Jiuhua are not afraid of the government coming forward, they still have to give some face. Moreover, it is strange that these ninjas seem to have different styles from the notorious ninjas in the rumors. In the past, the ninjas have killed many times.
They killed many Chinese monks, but this time the two ninjas who led the way through the thunder tribulation did not kill anyone except Master Shouyue and Tie Jiuhua. The end result was that the ninjas were restrained one by one by Master Shouyue.
After testing their whole bodies with spiritual energy, they found nothing, nothing hidden at all!
"The things are not there, so we can only let them go!" Shouyue sighed, and he and Tie Jiuhua could only watch the ninjas get on the special plane, leave Guantao Mountain and fly north.
