Chapter 13

Title: Violet Hidden Star

Summary: Ziwei star is the symbol of the emperor, and he is not in the temple but in the grass

On the fourteenth day of the first month of Shenglin's 16th year, both of them read my medical books in my room, and I went to see a doctor in Hemu Medical Clinic.During the Chinese New Year period, the harvest was early, and the meal was earlier in the evening. I made lotus duck sticks and golden belly soup for them, and asked them to come to the kitchen to eat.

During the meal, I said: "This year I have been in a hurry, and I haven't been to the Four Temples in Chang'an yet. The mystery of the prayers in the Four Temples is my old master. He is in charge of preaching, offering sacrifices, divination, and drinking tea in the temple. I want to give him two taels of Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoot tea cake. Do you want to go?"

Both of them nodded at the same time, and Shen Lian asked, "Are the tea cakes delicious?"

I said: "You just tasted the Peng cake in the eighth room of Wei. It's a pity that Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots are out of Weihou's mansion, and only in the Forbidden Palace. I'll make some for you to try."

I gave him two cups of tea.

After eating tea, Wei Yan wanted to use lightness kung fu to carry me and Shen Lian away, but I stopped him. I hailed a donkey cart at the gate of Hemu Medical Center and went to Xuanji's Four Temples.

After paying homage to the four gods of Tianyijiao in the main hall, Zhike led us to the mystery room.He was playing chess with himself, his long beard sweeping across the chessboard, without raising his head: "The layman who entered the door last has quite a high level of cultivation."

Wei Yan replied, "It's not a layman."

Xuanji didn't think it was disobedient, he shook his head after finishing the round and sighed to himself: "Oh, Pindao lost another round."

Wei Yan is behind, looking over my shoulder at the chessboard: "Play with yourself?"

I patted Wei Yan on the head, and he retracted.

I presented the Guzhu purple bamboo shoots I brought with me, and said, "This is the Guzhu purple bamboo shoots from the Marquis of Wei's mansion. I'll come and pray if I have anything else."

Xuanji took it, weighed it, put it on the table, and looked at Shen Lian up and down.

After Shen Lian entered the door, he stood there in a regular manner, and only bowed to say hello at this moment.

Xuanji stroked his beard and smiled, "Little baby, come over and let me have a look."

Shen Lian walked to his side, Xuanji shot like lightning, pressed the big acupoints all over his body, and pinched his bones: "Tsk, it's a material for martial arts."

Shen Lian let him investigate, and bowed to thank him when he heard the praise: "It's too good."

Xuanji said: "You two wander around in the audience, Li Ping, you stay."

This is another one or two pointers.It's just that he said three points and seven points, which sounds really painful.

Xuanji told me to sit down, brewed a cup of tea for me, and said with a smile: "Li Ping, how about this tea?"

I was flattered and took a sip in a hurry, it was so hot!Forcibly wrapping it in his mouth, he didn't dare to spit out and swallow it for a while, and couldn't swallow it, tears were about to come out of his eyes.

He said with emotion: "It's just a cup of tea, why should you be so moved. When Huaiyuan accepted you, he valued your kindness."

Xuanji suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, I observed the astrology at night and found something strange. After deducing it, I actually deduced it..." He lowered his voice, "Ziweixing is in Chang'an, but he is no longer in the forbidden zone."

The water in my mouth turned cold, I swallowed it quickly, my throat moved slightly.

Seeing this, he said: "Don't be so surprised. It's just that there is an accompanying hidden star next to Ziwei star. It's unknown whether it's good or bad."

My tongue was still hot, so I took a slight breath of cool air.

Xuanji sighed: "Don't worry. You have that layman protecting you, so it's not difficult to live a stable life in Beijing."

I was finally able to speak: "I know that Ziwei Star is the symbol of the emperor, and it is not in the temple but in the wilderness at this time. It is indeed an ominous sign for the change of the dynasty. But I am a little doctor, and I have nothing to do with the affairs of the world. But I have received prayers , make some tea fruit next time and bring it with you."

"On the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month," I motioned to those two who walked out, "a layman with high martial arts gave me a medicine boy, that's all."

Then bid farewell to Xuanji, and found those two in the deserted side hall, Wei Yan hid in the shadow of the pillars, and Shen Lian stayed in the center looking at the statue.I greeted him two: "Let's go."

Just after returning to Hemu Medical Center in the evening, someone knocked on the door again.I was heating hot water, Wei Yan was taking a shower in the courtyard, I called Shen Lian next door: "Shen Lian, answer the door."

Shen Lian came back after a while, and pointed behind her: "Look who's here?"

The person behind him strode up to me and patted me on the shoulder: "Doctor Li, I came to Hemu Medical Center to bother you."

My shoulders were about to fall apart, so I forced a smile and said, "Brother Qi, why are you being so polite, call me Li Ping. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Qi Jin scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "My mother is over 70 years old, and it is inconvenient to live in the suburbs. I want to build a courtyard for her in Chang'an City. You have a lot of shops here, and I want to find a quiet courtyard in the middle of the bustle. .”

I said: "The place where the Hemu Medical Center is located is called Caoshi Town. I will ask the vacant house for you to join the army here. Where is your mother? Do you want to stay with me tonight?"

He said, "No need, I found an inn to house her."

I remembered what he said at the banquet, and asked him: "How do you know that Wei Yan's mind is unusual?"

Qi Jin said innocently and complacently like a child: "Hey, let me think about how to say it... I have a nickname, and it's called 'Heroes'."

Shen Lian and I also looked puzzled, Qi Jin had no choice but to say: "My martial arts are very high, maybe the best in the world."

I saw him at 33, with a childish look on his face, so I didn't quite believe it, so I just asked him, "How old are you?"

"47 years old," he said.

Shen Lian let out an "ah", and I took two steps back to look at both.

Qi Jin asked: "Where is the shadow guard you brought home? I want to compete with him."

At this time, Wei Yan stepped into the kitchen after taking a shower, Qi Jin's eyes lit up, eager to try.

Qi took a step closer to Wei Yan, his step was huge, and his feet hit the ground heavily, with an imposing manner.I was out of breath standing behind him. Although the surrounding space was huge, it seemed unavoidable.

Wei Yan, however, looked like a ghost, and suddenly walked around Qi Jin and stood beside me.

Qi Jin paused, and then laughed loudly: "Tianyi Xinfa is really powerful! But you haven't finished practicing."

As an outsider, I was confused, and Shen Lian was a little envious.

I asked Qi Jin: "Have you finished the contest? How was the result?"

He said: "The contest is over, I won."

Wei Yan confirmed beside me: "Yes."

Qi Jin pointed to Wei Yan and said: "His moves are fast, ruthless and accurate. Every move does not seek self-protection but only kills. It is used to control the enemy. It is only suitable for raising dead shadow guards. There are almost no shadow guards in the world. But he used it. The mind is open and open, and it is more like a master than the current leader of Tianyi Sect, Shi Xiangtian. Why didn't you practice it?"

Wei Yan said nothing.

I elbowed him: "Talk back."

Wei Yan said, "I don't understand the last paragraph."

Qi Jin shook his head: "It's a pity, I've always wanted to know whether I'm the best or Tianyi's mind is the best."

Shen Lian who was at the side suddenly asked: "Brother Qi, did you lose to Shi Xiangtian?"

As soon as I heard it, I knew that Xiao Lian was cheating again, and I was about to remind Qi Jin.Qi Jin said triumphantly, "No, I beat him."

Shen Lian said: "Tianyi Sect has always regarded the leader with the highest martial arts as the leader. Why didn't you become the leader after you won?"

Qi Jin frowned: "What can the leader do? In the eighth year of Shenglin, I went to Uzang to fight Shi Xiangtian at the age of 39. In addition to the white snow-capped mountains on Uzang, there are grasslands and yaks. It's boring to the extreme. I would rather Admit to the people of the world that I have lost, and don't practice the Tianyixin method he cultivated above."

Then Qi Jin said with a sad face: "I'm going to serve my mother. After I rescued Wei Ba, I swore to my mother that I would serve her incognito and not do anything. Otherwise, the retribution should be on her. Otherwise, Wei Mansion I'll do it, why call you?"

He strode out.

My second pot of hot water is also ready.I pushed Shen Lian back to the room to sleep, and then remembered to ask him: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be a Lantern Festival at Donghuamen, do you want to go?"

Shen Lian said, "You can go and see."

Wei Yan said, "Yes."

So they went back to their rooms to sleep.Wei Yan jumped up to sleep on the beam, I didn't call him, thinking about when to cure him of sleeping on the beam.
