one person is right

Chapter 3 Merit as Medicine

Without waiting for Chen Cuo to speak, Chen Jiao laughed.

"Second brother, you forgot, there was an old beggar who came to beg for food a few years ago. At that time, you didn't have a division, and you met. I thought he was pitiful and asked him some soup cakes. The old beggar thanked me and said I'm very talented, I'm a seed of Taoism, you want to accept me as a disciple, but I was blocked by you, brother."

"Old beggar?"

Chen Jiao nodded: "At that time, you asked the old beggar to be forcibly driven away. Before he left, he left some gadgets for me, including this paper crane, and a saying, let me recite it day and night, A few days ago, I was able to drive this paper crane suddenly..."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is heartbroken!

Chen Cuo silently flipped through the memory fragments, trying to find some clues.

Guessing is one thing, seeing it with his own eyes is another. If Chen Jiao's words are true, she must adjust her plan as soon as possible.

"If you go back to ancient times and have some background, whether it is to develop an industry, train a new army, or enter the dynasty to innovate, there is hope to reverse the historical trend, at least to protect Chen Fangqing's family, and to bear the cause and effect of this body in vain. Involving immortal family affairs, the depth is unpredictable, and the historical trend may be a game of immortality. Even if it is a secular power, how can it be reversed? I am afraid that there is not much time before the world is unified. In a short period of time, how much can be changed by oneself ?"

I thought it was from the ancient times, so it's okay to say that I can afford to have some foundation, but if it is a fairy family matter, even if he has the intention to kill the enemy, he is unable to return to the sky.

"Wait! If this is the case, Zhou Youzi's book is obviously not nonsense. This may be an opportunity. In addition, there must be more verification..."

Thinking of this, Chen Cuo's eyes lit up, and he first asked Chen Jiao, "Can you tell me the formula Lao Qi'er gave you."

Chen Jiao straightened her face and said, "I can't tell you, don't be annoyed, it was ordered by the old beggar, he said that you are a person with poor luck, and your life is so unlucky, so he doesn't want to get involved with you, oh, don't Look at me this way, I don’t despise you, and I even defended you a couple of times, but the old beggar said: One of your two brothers is tyrannical and the other is blessed, and I am afraid that neither of them will end in a good life. , it's better to go to the door of the old man, the old man was born..."

"Why did you come from?" Chen Cuo thought that Nan Chen would die in the Northern Dynasty sooner or later, but he had come through and knew the historical context. How would he know that the old beggar was in this world?Sure enough, there are some ways to go?
"I don't know what I'm from," Chen Jiao spread her hands, "before I finished speaking, the elder brother's people came over and drove that old beggar away!"

Chen Cuo was speechless for a while.

Chen Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up and she cheered: "Xiao He'er has replied, I'll tell my elder brother. My mother is talking to the gentleman about the eldest brother! Mr. Zhou is really immortal this week! It's even better than that old beggar looked at. Like a master! Oh, let's not talk about it, Mr. Zhou glanced at my little crane, he must have found it, he must call it back quickly, nothing can happen, I don't have anything more fun than it at hand!"

After all, she hurriedly squeezed a hand gesture.

------

In the main hall, the graceful and dignified Mrs. Chen Fu was talking to a refined man.

The man was about forty years old, with eyebrows on the temples, long beard, and his hair was tied at random, most of which were let down. His robes were wide and his posture was elegant.

He looked away from the window and smiled at the old lady: "I heard that before King Xianmin went north, he left behind two sons and one daughter. Now that the king goes to the south to sit in town, the monarch has already won the title, but I don't know what happened to the lady in your palace?"

"Huh?" Mrs. Chen was stunned when she heard the words, and then smiled, "Since Mr. asked, the old man did not answer, the little girl was naughty, and she was afraid that she would bump into Mr., so she didn't call."

Although she is the old lady in the people of the mansion, Chen's mother actually looks like a forty-something, a milf.

When she finished speaking, a young man smiled and said, "So that my husband will know that my cousin is very smart. If my husband sees her, he will definitely like her."

Zhou Youzi nodded and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhang said that he was about to meet."

Chen He just came in at this time, and whispered a few words in Chen's ear, the latter's expression remained unchanged, and said to Zhou Youzi: "Since the gentleman has met, let her come to greet him, just as my second son, who is not a weapon, is getting better. Let's call them together."

Soon, Chen Cuo and Chen Jiao came to the main hall together.

Chen Cuo saw Zhou Youzi at a glance, and seeing that he was indeed extraordinary, just like a successful master in the workplace in his previous life, he couldn't help stunned, and then he saw Chen's mother in the main seat and the young people around him.

The young man was the cousin of Chen's mother, named Zhang Ju, who was from the Zhang family in Wu County, and was a writer in the court. He was also very polite, and when he saw himself coming in, he smiled and nodded.

In contrast, Mother Chen's face was not so good-looking, because Zhou Youzi was still there, she didn't have any seizures, she just said expressionlessly: "This Mr. Zhou is a good friend of our family, and he is a half-hearted Taoist, come quickly. See you."

Chen Cuo and Chen Jiao met Zhou Youzi.

"Please come up, ladies and gentlemen, Zhou Moujie is a grass-roots citizen, and this ceremony is not acceptable." Zhou Youzi said politely, but did not stop the two, his eyes swept over Chen Cuo, stayed on Chen Jiao, and kept nodding.

Chen Jiao looked quiet, and after saluting, she stood aside and remained silent.

Chen Cuo thought about Zhihe, and naturally wanted to ask for advice, but seeing the current situation, he pressed curiosity first, prepared to observe, and then made plans.

Mother Chen said: "Mr. has also seen the two of them. Compared with my eldest brother, there is a gap. To be honest, this time the gentleman came here, and he honestly wanted to make a brazen request to give my eldest brother a chance. ."

"Your Majesty sits in the southern border, and is the pillar of the imperial court. Zhou Xianxuan Yunye He can't help me, but I first take care of me when Wang Bei went. A certain family always remembers it and should return it..." While speaking, Zhou Youzi will She looked away from Chen Jiao, her wide sleeves swept across the table beside her, leaving two wooden boxes, both the size of a palm, only one was red and the other was dark.

"What's the mystery of these two things?" Mother Chen asked quickly, looking at the things on the table.

Zhou Youzi picked up the red box, opened it, and the house was filled with fragrance, and he saw a bright red pill in it.

Several people in the room looked over, and even the servants serving inside and outside couldn't help but look over, all of them were surprised and had different expressions.

Mother Chen waved her hand immediately and let the irrelevant servants disperse, leaving only three or four confidants.

Among the scattered servants, there are many people who are reluctant to part, but they dare not refuse to obey their orders.

Mother Chen asked about the origin of Dan Wan.

Zhou Youzi smiled and said: "This thing is called Tongming Dan, which is made by my teacher. If you put it in your mouth, you can understand your mind, swallow it, and in a moment or three, it can subdue your mind and make your mind clear. Come here, I'm about to give it to your palace."

"It's actually this thing!" Zhang Ju murmured.

"My nephew knows about this?" Mother Chen turned around and asked.

Zhang Ju nodded, cupped his hands and said, "My little nephew once watched chess master Shi Gong play chess with others. Shi Gong was over sixty years old, and when the game reached the middle of the game, he was already groggy and exhausted. Let someone take this thing, and after holding it, he will immediately be in high spirits and win three games in a row! Finally, he spit it out, cherishes it, and does not allow others to see it. Afterwards, my nephew heard that this thing can increase wisdom!"

"It has such a miraculous effect!" Mother Chen couldn't help but solemnly, "I'm afraid it is not easy to refine such a precious thing."

"It does take time, and it is more difficult to collect several medicinal materials, but it is not a superb product. This pill can make people think clearly, but it can only take effect for a while. People are also effective." Zhou Youzi closed the lid, the fragrance disappeared, and his eyes swept over Chen Jiao intentionally or unintentionally.

"That old man is no longer hypocritical, so thank you!" Mother Chen nodded with a smile, and her eyes fell on the black box again.

Zhou Youzi took advantage of the situation to open the second box.

The contents inside made Chen Cuo and Chen Jiao stunned for a moment - it was a paper crane carved from black jade.

"This is Mohe," Zhou Youzi stroked his beard and smiled, "I can control it with my mind, travel ten miles, peek into the distance and listen to mysteries, as if by my side."

When Mother Chen heard this, she was immediately moved.

This thing can be called mysterious, and it is a sharp tool for snooping and exploration. His eldest son is now sitting outside, and in name is commanding the troops and horses. With decoration, that is also done.

"Such a precious gift, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort from the gentleman." She stood up with support, and was about to salute.

Zhou Youzi shook his head to stop him: "Zhou is given by the teacher, otherwise, with less than ten years of Taoism in a certain family, the first step of seeking Taoism has not been completed, and he is wandering in the mundane, and there is no fire in his chest, how to make a magic weapon?"

Mother Chen was shocked and said, "Isn't it more precious! How can I bear it?"

"Madam, don't be in a hurry to refuse, this matter also has its origins, you will know it in the future, besides, there is a lot of care about sending these two things from a certain family," Zhou Youzi pointed to the two boxes in front of him, "My teacher has inherited it from Guangcheng Taoism. First, although he does not return to the path of qi refining, he also cultivates morality. Ordinary disciples need to take medicine pills, and Mo He needs to identify the master and also need credentials."

"Dare to ask, sir, what do you need?" Mother Chen had already made up her mind that such a miraculous thing must not be let go. No matter what you want, you must find a way to get it.

Zhou Youzi didn't go around in circles, and said: "Kong and virtue! The medicine of medicinal herbs is used as a virtue. If Mohe wants to soar, he also needs to protect his body with virtue, condense talismans, and guard his mind before he can control it, otherwise his soul will easily get lost... "
