Chapter 135 These two...
The two elderly people's request was quite unique. They wanted to see flowers, pink flowers.
According to the two old people, they once had a daughter who would pick a flower from somewhere every day and put it at home as a gift to her mother.
Later, their daughter accidentally fell off a cliff while picking flowers and her body was never found.
Although the couple later had another child and now live a happy life, in old age, people always like to think about the past in detail and chew it over again.
For this reason, the two old people missed their daughter again. Since they couldn't see her, it would be great to see the flower again.
But the problem is that there are so many pink flowers, and it is still winter, so where can we find flowers?
Chen Qing thought about it, folded a paper flower with a talisman, and added some special formations. In the eyes of the old man, the talisman flower became a delicate and gorgeous pink flower, lifelike.
The two old men were so excited that they wanted to touch the flower, but were stopped by Shen Qing.
This flower is just a decoy. If you touch it rashly, the formation will become ineffective and useless.
After stepping out of the yard, Li Daoxuan put away the cloth bag.
For several days in a row, the two of them were on the road. Li Daoxuan seemed tireless. When Chen Qing was tired, he carried her on his back and she almost slept on his back for several days.
Perhaps because of traveling day and night, Li Daoxuan finally felt tired, or perhaps he wanted Chen Qing to have a good rest, so Li Daoxuan found a guest house. As soon as Chen Qing touched the bed, he fell into a deep sleep and was not disturbed by thunder.
There's no way, I'm just too tired.
Li Daoxuan always sat beside the bed with his sword in his arms, watching over her as she slept.
There were dark circles under his eyes from fatigue over the past few days, and looking at her sweet and affectionate sleeping face, he felt a little calmer.
Li Daoxuan took out the cloth bag from his arms and shook it. It was so light that it was almost nothing.
Still too slow, he thought.
.
When Chen Qing woke up, there was no one beside him, only Qiu Renjian was left guarding him.
She searched the entire guesthouse but couldn't find him, so she waited there, but when it got dark, there was still no sign of him. She wondered if he thought she was a burden and had left her alone and run away.
But the huge Qiu Renjian told her that he had not abandoned her.
The shop owner told her that the room had been occupied for three days.
Three days later, Chen Qing couldn't help but think of Li Daoxuan's Gu. Calculating the time, it was about time for it to break out.
He seemed to have forgotten the agreement between them.
Chen Qing had personally guaranteed to him that after the marriage, she would offer Liuli Heart to him with both hands.
Now he never mentioned it and was content and happy.
On the third night, a strong and pungent smell of blood rushed into his nose, and Chen Qing suddenly woke up. He saw that the tightly closed window had been opened at some point, and the clean moonlight poured in through the window lattice and sprinkled on the visitor's eyebrows.
The corners of his eyes, red lips, and neck were all stained with blood, and his skin looked particularly pale against the moonlight.
Before Chen Qing could say anything, he floated to the next room like a ghost, and soon, the sound of splashing water came to his ears.
The water in the bathtub was already freezing cold, and he didn't even have time to ask for hot water, so he just soaked in the cold water to clean himself.
Chen Qing recalled the smell of blood just now, and wondered how serious his injuries were. If she attacked at this moment, would she kill him with one blow?
After taking a shower, Li Daoxuan changed into a clean coat and went to bed feeling cold.
Chen Qing shuddered at the chill he felt. The young man paused, moving away from her. When he approached Chen Qing again, he was already incredibly warm.
Li Daoxuan was hugging her waist and abdomen at this moment, burying his face in her abdomen, almost shrinking his entire body into her arms.
Seeing that he seemed to be asleep, Chen Qing thought for a moment, took out the Qiuren sword, and pointed it at his neck. The Qiuren sword was really sharp, and Chen Qing missed, leaving a faint blood mark on his neck.
Li Daoxuan seemed unaware of her intention and fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Qing stared at him for a long time. Before long, she put down the Qiuren Sword, took a nap, curled up, and returned to the warm bed to prepare to fall asleep.
Not long after I lay down, I heard a slightly hoarse voice.
"Qiu Ren has recognized you as my destined one. Even if others hold Qiu Ren, they cannot harm me. Only you can summon it. You can even use this sword to kill me."
Chen Qing was startled by his sudden voice. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that he was hinting at something.
After he said this, he fell silent.
What she didn't see was that Li Daoxuan's face was extremely pale at this moment, and his eyes were tightly closed.
Chen Qing lowered her head and poked the top of his head, "Li Daoxuan, you wouldn't have...broken your meridians again, would you?"
After a long while, he said sullenly, "No."
"It's only half broken, but it will recover in a few days, so it won't affect our journey."
So, last time in Weinan County, he broke his own meridians just to suppress the outbreak of Zhuyan Gu?
Li Daoxuan only said that the Zhu Yan Gu in his body would flare up, but he didn't explain how it would flare up. Chen Qing was curious about why he wanted to sever his own meridians, so she poked him and asked, "The Gu in your body flares up every month. Could it be that you have to sever your own meridians every month?"
Li Daoxuan: "There is another way. Tie me up with an extremely hard chain for three days and three nights. It will also work." It's just that this kind of chain is hard to find, and he can't brazenly travel with the chain from his house.
Chen Qing became even more curious, and she asked, "What are the side effects of your insect?" She could actually guess a little bit.
"It would temporarily consume my sanity, and I would lose control and hurt people."
"Then you are quite - quite self-aware." Thinking of how he looked when he was found in the cave last time, Chen Qing's eyelids jumped.
My waist and abdomen tightened, and I listened to him in a deep mood: "Go to sleep, and continue the journey tomorrow."
Chen Qing wondered, at this rate, when would the cloth bag in his arms be filled, and when would the two of them be able to reach Guisoupo.
Now he was collecting rice from hundreds of households, so he had to walk and knock on every door to ask for rice. The people he asked were also very particular, either those with happy families or those with great kindness, and he could only get one grain of rice from each person he asked.
I don't know what he wants to do with all this rice.
Chen Qing's eyelids grew heavier, and she gradually fell asleep. Before falling asleep, she said with a rare show of compassion, "Don't cut your own meridians again in the future. Just find a remote and deserted place to hide. With my formation, there's no need to worry about you running away."
Li Daoxuan pinched the soft flesh on her waist and said, “Well, thank you very much, Madam Shen.”
.
As winter passed and spring came, the rice bag around Li Daoxuan's waist swelled up as if it was inflated and became noticeably heavier, and the relief grain from the imperial court began to be transported to various places.
Whenever he arrived at a place and found that the people were still poor and naked, Li Daoxuan would send a letter, and soon all the local officials would be severely punished by the governor.
Soon, the news spread everywhere that a very important person was secretly investigating officials who were corrupt and taking bribes.
When this news reached the provincial and county governments, most officials holding their teacups would tremble in their hands - some were truly uneasy, with unreported disaster records on their desks and withheld disaster relief grain hidden in their accounting offices; some were frightened birds, and even if they had not embezzled money, they would carefully think about whether they had made any mistakes.
For this reason, the states and counties were surprisingly obedient, fearing that they would be investigated if they were not careful.
The snow melted and the willow branches sprouted new buds, with a few drops of water on the tips, looking very fresh.
Chen Qing was wearing a light green dress, and the small bells hanging from the ribbon at the end of her hair rang crisply. She was holding a willow branch in her hand, waving it as she walked, sweeping across the willow trees beside the road. She almost blended into the clusters of green smoke.
