Chapter 218 Inside Story and Confession
"Master, I see that Miss Fang Rou's injury is not simple, it seems to be a stab wound.
There is also Master Fang, who has advanced cultivation and has reached the level of internal organs. Those who can hurt them are probably not ordinary people."
After being silent for a long time, Lu Qing said.
His special power is that he can see through the information of all things in the world.
However, the information detected is not infinite and contains a certain degree of randomness.
Just like this time, he failed to learn from Fang Tao and the others why the girl Fang Rou was injured.
"Everyone is good. We doctors have always only focused on curing diseases and saving people. As for those vendettas and grievances, we should ignore them if we can." The old doctor said.
"Disciple understands." Lu Qing nodded.
He felt the strange connotations surrounding him, and couldn't help but praise: "Master, your innate realm is really wonderful. I wonder when I will reach such a state."
"Young man, your talents are much stronger than those of a teacher. With the spiritual energy about to recover now, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can catch up with the realm of a master." The old doctor laughed and scolded.
He is the one who knows Lu Qing’s cultivation talent best.
He even had some doubts that his disciple had not yet entered the innate realm. It was not because he was unable to break through, but because he did so on purpose.
Otherwise, it only took him a few months from the time he first started practicing martial arts to entering the inner realm.
It makes no sense that two years have passed and we still can't even break through the Xiantian realm.
It's just that the old doctor knew that Lu Qing had always had his own plans in terms of cultivation, so he didn't interfere.
After the master and apprentice chatted for a while, they fell asleep.
As for Xiaoyan, she had already fallen asleep holding Xiaoli in her arms, and even Wei Zian fell asleep as well.
Ma Gu will be responsible for keeping vigil, and Lu Qing will not get up until the second half of the night to take turns with him.
After all, it is essential to be on guard against others. When you go out, you must be careful in everything.
While Lu Qing and others were lying down to rest, Fang Tao and others were also whispering something in the inner hall.
"Master, now we are trapped here by the heavy rain, and our junior sister is seriously ill and unconscious. What should we do if the people from the Liuyun Sect come after us?"
The disciple named Dashi whispered.
"Probably not." Fang Tao pondered for a moment and then said, "The route we took to escape this time was relatively remote. Coupled with the heavy rain, all our traces were washed away. It will not be easy for the people of Liuyun Sect to find us."
"That Liuyun Sect is really nothing. Our villa gives them so much money every year, but they always fall out with each other. That bullshit young sect leader also wants to take his junior sister back to be his concubine. Master, why didn't you let me chop him down at that time!"
Dashi said angrily.
“Kill that young sect leader, we will really be doomed and have no way out.” Fang Tao sighed, “The Liuyun Sect has an ancestor of the Xiantian realm who is in charge, and he is always domineering. The young sect leader is the only great-grandson of the Liuyun sect’s Xiantian ancestor. If he dies, The Liuyun Sect is furious. The world is so big that there really is no place for us. "
"But if we don't kill that young sect leader, we will still be hunted by the Liuyun Sect. Does this make any difference, Master?" Dashi asked in confusion.
"If there is no blood feud, there is still room for maneuver. I had some friendship with an elder from the Guiyuan Sect in Qingzhou in the past. As long as we can escape to Qingzhou, pay the price, and ask the Guiyuan Sect to intercede, we may be able to turn the war with the Liuyun Sect into friendship."
Dashi remained silent.
He recalled the expression of the young master of the Liuyun Sect back then, and felt that the master might have been too optimistic.
With a character who is determined to retaliate against evildoers, after suffering such a big loss, would he really be willing to reconcile with them?
According to what he said, it would be better to kill that scumbag with one knife that day. That way, even if they all die in the end, at least one of them will be able to back him up.
Thinking of the scene in the villa where the guard servants were massacred by Liuyun Sect disciples that day, Dashi felt a burst of anger rising in his heart.
If he had not been strong enough, he would have really wanted to kill the Shangliu Yunzong alone and avenge the guards he knew so well!
But this is the master's decision. As a disciple, he is unwilling to accept it. It can only be followed.
"However, this is just my expectation in the end." Fang Tao added, "If we are overtaken by the Liuyun Sect before we reach Qingzhou, we will have to fight to the death.
Dashi, if the Liuyun Sect's people catch up to the Taoist Temple in the past two days, , Remember, you have to cut ties with Old Doctor Chen and the others. We cannot repay kindness with enmity. "
"Of course, Master, what if someone from the Liuyun Sect insists on attacking Old Doctor Chen and the others?" Dashi asked.
Dashi could never forget how arrogant and unreasonable the people who were chasing them were.
Fang Tao was stunned, then gritted his teeth and said: "Then we will fight with them to buy Dr. Chen and the others time to escape!"
…
Lu Qing, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and dozing, had a smile on his face.
Fang Tao and the others may have a low voice, but in front of martial arts masters like Lu Qing, they are no different from loudly conspiring.
After hearing that Fang Tao and the others had no objections, Lu Qing fell asleep with peace of mind.
The night passed, nothing special happened, everything was fine.
Fang Tao's daughter didn't see anything unusual, and she didn't bother Lu Qing or the others in the middle of the night.
Because Lu Qing was responsible for the vigil in the second half of the night, he happened to be able to make breakfast earlier, so when everyone woke up, they could smell the fragrance.
"Lu Xiaolangjun, are you up so early?"
Fang Tao was a little surprised when he saw Lu Qing busy.
"I'm used to it." Lu Qing said with a smile, "Just in time, Mr. Fang, I've also made your breakfast here, and this medicinal meal is for Miss Fang. I guess she will wake up soon."
"Master, junior sister is awake!"
"Xiaorou is really awake?"
Fang Tao was greatly surprised, both happy that his daughter woke up, and also surprised that Lu Qing's information was accurate.
"Lu Xiaolang, please forgive Fang for being with me."
"Wait a minute, Master Fang. Since your wife has woken up, you can just bring this bowl of medicated porridge in. She has just woken up from a serious illness and is weak. This is the time when she needs to supplement her nutrition."
Lu Qing brought over a bowl of medicated porridge.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu Xiaolang."
Fang Tao took the medicinal porridge very gratefully and hurriedly came to the main hall.
Then he saw his daughter sitting there halfway.
"Daddy."
Seeing Fang Tao come in, Fang Rou shouted weakly.
"Xiaorou, you're awake, how do you feel now?"
Fang Tao hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Feeling better, daddy, where are we now?"
As soon as Fang Tao heard this, he knew that his daughter had no memory of what happened before.
Similarly, my daughter was already semi-conscious before coming to this Taoist temple, so it is normal for her not to remember.
"We are now in an unknown Taoist temple. You were injured earlier and were invaded by the cold air. The situation is very critical. Fortunately, old doctor Chen, who was also taking shelter from the rain in this Taoist temple, came to help and rescued you and saved the day."
Fang Tao explained to his daughter.
"The clothes on my daughter..."
Fang Rou's face showed a hint of blush.
When she just woke up, she discovered that the clothes she was wearing were not her original ones, but seemed to be men's clothes.
But when she was about to ask, the senior sister was so surprised that she ran out and informed her father.
"The clothes you are wearing were also lent to us by Dr. Chen and the others. They are all men, so they only have men's clothes. But don't worry, your senior sister put on the clothes for you."
Fang Rou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. : "In this way, this old doctor Chen is really very kind to his daughter, and her daughter needs to thank him in person."
h
Fang Rou responded softly. Suddenly, she smelled a very special smell. She looked around and found that it came from the bowl in her father's hand.
"Dad, what's that in your hand? It smells so good!"
Fang Rou's throat quivered.
From yesterday to now, she has not eaten a grain of rice in her stomach. She didn't feel it before, but now that she was attracted by the aroma, she suddenly felt hungry.
"Oh, I almost forgot, this bowl is a bowl of medicinal porridge specially cooked for you by Dr. Chen's disciple Lu Xiaolangjun. He said that you should wake up this morning. Unexpectedly, you woke up just after he said it outside. You are really good at predicting things."
Fang Tao handed the medicated porridge to his daughter: "Xiaorou, you haven't eaten for almost two days, drink this porridge while it's hot."
Fang Rou looked at the porridge in the bowl, a little surprised.
In her impression, almost anything related to medicine is bitter and unpleasant to drink. It is really strange that this bowl of medicinal porridge is so fragrant.
With curiosity, Fang Rou scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth and tasted it. Soon, her eyes lit up and she started to drink the porridge one bite at a time.
Fang Tao saw this and knew that the taste of the porridge should suit his daughter's appetite, so he felt relieved.
Soon, Fang Rou finished the entire bowl of porridge and handed the bowl to her father with some reluctance.
She felt that she should be able to drink a few more bowls, but she also knew that she was still ill and should not eat too much.
"Master, Old Doctor Chen is here."
Fang Tao had just received the bowl when he heard his disciple Dashi coming to report.
“Invite him in quickly!” Fang Tao said quickly.
"Zhu Fang, I heard that your wife has woken up, so I came over to take a look."
The old doctor came in and said with a smile.
"Exactly, the little girl just woke up, drank a bowl of medicated porridge cooked by Lu Xiaolangjun, and asked the old doctor Chen to see if she was okay."
"Let me check her pulse first."
The old doctor came to Fang Rou, and when the girl saw the gentle temperament and kind face of the old man, she felt a sense of intimacy in her heart, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand.
The old doctor put his fingers on the girl's wrist and felt it carefully for a while before taking his hand back.
"Congratulations to Master Fang, the coldness in your wife's body has been basically eliminated, and the wound on her shoulder has begun to heal. Next, as long as she rests for a while, she will be fine."
"Thank you, Old Doctor Chen!"
When Fang Tao heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell completely, and he bowed heavily to Old Doctor Chen.
"Thank you, old doctor, for saving my life."
Fang Rou also wanted to stand up and say thank you, but the old doctor held her down gently: "You don't have to be so polite. You have just recovered from your illness, so you should rest more and not move too much."
Fang Rou then added: "Master Fang, my disciple has made some breakfast. If you don't mind, you might as well come over and eat some together."
Fang Tao and the others were naturally very grateful for this, and soon everyone gathered around the fire and began to have their morning meal.
Lu Qing's breakfast was not complicated. He just made a large pot of bacon rice and a vat of wild vegetable soup.
But Fang Tao and his disciples still ate very comfortably.
Not only because Lu Qing's craftsmanship is very good and the food is delicious, but also because for Fang Tao and the others, it is extremely rare to have a hot meal and a bowl of hot soup to drink when facing life and death pursuit.
"Old doctor, I'm looking at the rain, I'm afraid it's going to rain for another day or two. I wonder what your plans are?"
Fang Tao asked after breakfast.
"What else can we do? We are riding in a carriage. It is not suitable to travel in the rain. We can only wait until the rain stops before leaving." The old doctor said.
Fang Tao didn't know whether he was worried or happy when he heard this.
To be honest, if the old doctor and the others have to travel in the rain, this is not good news for them.
His daughter's injuries and condition mean that she will no longer be exposed to the rain and cold for the time being.
At that time, if they are the only ones staying in this remote Taoist temple, life will probably be much more difficult.
But similarly, if the old doctor and the others continue to stay in the Taoist temple, no one can guarantee when the Liuyun Sect people will come after them.
If they get involved with the old doctor and others, he will probably have a troubled conscience for the rest of his life.
The struggle between selfishness and morality made Fang Tao not know what to say for a moment.
After thinking about it, Fang Tao felt that with the intensity of yesterday's rain, the Liuyun Sect's people might not continue to pursue them before the rain stopped.
Hence, he decided to hide the matter for the time being.
"In this case, I'm afraid I will have to bother the old doctor in the next time. I have some gold leaves here. Although they are a little short, I would like to ask the old doctor to accept them as a little bit of my kindness."
Fang Tao took out a small stack of gold leaves from his arms and handed them to the old doctor.
The old doctor looked at the pile of gold leaves. There were at least two of them. He smiled and just took out one piece.
"It's not like we need so much. This piece of gold leaf is more than enough to pay for your wife's medical consultation and medicine. The owner of the village, Fang, will take back the rest."
Fang Taozheng When he was about to say something, he saw that the old doctor had already shaken his head lightly and said: "Master Fang, we doctors treat diseases and save people. We follow our true intentions and are not doing it to make money."
Seeing the old doctor's insistence, Fang Tao had to take back the remaining gold leaves.
Just in my heart, I have more respect for the old doctor.
At the same time, the guilt became deeper and deeper.
There was a look of struggle on his face, but in the end, Fang Tao decided to confess.
"Old Doctor Chen, there is something I must explain to you clearly..."
