Wu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Zhang Yuan said.
That smile was like the warm spring sun, full of comfort and trust.
She stared at Zhang Yuan with a sincere look and a firm tone.
"My dear disciple, you have devoted yourself to me and considered everything so carefully, how could I be dissatisfied?
Just do as you say. From now on, I agree to all your arrangements.
I’m sure you’ll surprise me.”
Seeing Wu Xingyun being so open-minded, Zhang Yuan's slight worry instantly dissipated like a wisp of smoke.
He responded with a smile.
"Okay, Master, since you can accept it, I will explain it in more detail.
This time, the medicinal bath is not just for you to soak in the tub alone, but we will bathe together. You should be able to accept this, right?"
Wu Xingyun frowned slightly, and that frown was like the surface of a lake rippling in the breeze, disappearing in an instant.
Immediately, he looked at Zhang Yuan with relief, his eyes clear and his tone calm:
"I know and I can accept it, so don't think about it anymore, my disciple.
Your master is not the kind of shy little girl who takes everything seriously. Don't worry, you and I don't have to worry about this."
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he suddenly felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
He said quickly, speaking a little faster and with a hint of urgency:
“Well then, Master.
Next, let’s prepare the medicinal bath.
I believe you will benefit a lot from the medicinal bath."
Wu Xingyun nodded, his movements gentle and his tone as soft as a spring breeze:
"Okay, I'll have to trouble you from now on, my good disciple."
Zhang Yuan smiled and waved his hands, his movements were casual and unrestrained:
“This is what I should do.”
Soon, more than ten minutes later.
Wu Xingyun took off her clothes with graceful and calm movements.
The jade-smooth back is fully revealed, the skin is like mutton-fat jade, delicate and soft, and under the mist, it is even more moist, just like covered with a layer of gauze, hazy and charming.
Zhang Yuan also took off his clothes, stepped into the bathtub with a nimble posture, and came to the position behind Wu Xingyun.
Next, the two of them sat cross-legged in the bathtub together.
They closed their eyes and concentrated, like monks in meditation. All around them was quiet and silent , except for the steam rising from the bathtub, the aroma of medicine, and the wisps of smoke.
Occasionally, there is a slight sound of water splashing.
During the practice, Zhang Yuan slowly placed his hand on Wu Xingyun's back.
The fingertips lightly touch the skin, which is delicate and warm, as if touching the most precious silk in the world.
He was concentrating, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes focused, constantly monitoring the circulation of Wu Xingyun's spiritual energy, not missing even the slightest fluctuation.
In less than two minutes, Zhang Yuan found the right opportunity.
His eyes suddenly lit up, like stars in the dark night, and he pointed his finger precisely at the Dazhui point on Wu Xingyun's back.
Here, he slowly channeled the true energy in his body into it. His movements were gentle, like the breeze blowing over the willows, yet revealed a steady strength, like an old tree with deep roots in the soil.
Wu Xingyun suddenly felt a warm current flowing into his whole body from the acupuncture points on his back, as if the warm spring sun penetrated the haze. At first, the comfortable feeling was as if he was in the clouds, floating and comfortable.
But soon, the originally comfortable feeling gradually turned into unbearable pain, as if there were fine steel needles moving around in the body, and the tingling sensation spread from the acupuncture points to every part of the body.
Sure enough, the pain that Zhang Yuan had mentioned before finally came flooding back.
However, Wu Xingyun was not afraid at all at this moment. Instead, his eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.
If this was the first time Zhang Yuan treated his injuries and the first time his body felt such pain, he might be nervous and his heart would beat like a drum.
But now, Wu Xingyun knows that behind this pain lies a new life. This pain is undoubtedly telling him that as long as he grits his teeth and endures the pain, he will reap considerable rewards. Moreover, this reward will surely be extraordinary, like a treasure hidden in the mountains, waiting to be excavated.
Therefore, Wu Xingyun's mood at this moment was such that joy far outweighed the pain.
Even though he clenched his teeth and cold sweat oozed from his forehead and slid down his cheeks, he was still full of anticipation for everything that was to come, just like a child looking forward to a New Year's present.
Time passed slowly, half an hour later.
Zhang Yuan looked at Wu Xingyun and spoke softly, his voice gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the quiet atmosphere:
"Master, please turn around now and take off all the clothes on your upper body.
Treating the injury is the most important thing. I really can't care about so much else. Please don't think too much about it, Master. I am doing this all to help you clear the meridians in your body.
Especially the meridians in front of the body, clearing them may be a little offensive, at least in the eyes of ordinary people, this is difficult to accept.
I wonder if you can accept my treatment, Master?"
Wu Xingyun did it without even thinking, and moved quickly, as if he had expected it.
She turned around and looked at Zhang Yuan with a gentle expression, her eyes were as soft as water:
"My dear disciple, I believe in you.
Come on, it's okay."
After saying this, Wu Xingyun took off her only bellyband. Her action was not at all shy but very natural and generous.
Zhang Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Beneath that snow-white skin, the lines are soft, like a winding stream, and the curves are exquisite. The peerless beauty hidden in it is so heart-stirring that it is hard to ignore.
However, at this moment, helping Wu Xingyun heal his injuries is the top priority. Zhang Yuan calmed himself down and quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, as if dispelling the fog in front of his eyes.
He calmed down and began to treat Wu Xingyun's meridians with all his heart, his eyes focused and his expression solemn.
This time, a full hour of treatment passed in a flash.
Zhang Yuan's hands were like nimble fish, swimming back and forth in front of Wu Xingyun.
He kept touching one important acupuncture point after another on Wu Xingyun's body, his fingers moving nimbly as if he was playing a peerless piece of music.
Sometimes, in order to fully unblock these acupoints, Zhang Yuan would skillfully control the strength of his fingers, either gently rubbing and twisting them, like a spring breeze brushing against flowers, or exerting slight force, like a dragonfly skimming the water, to achieve the best effect.
This naturally leads to some inevitable embarrassment.
If Wu Xingyun said that she felt no waves in her heart, she would be lying, but she also knew that the distribution of acupuncture points in the human body was fixed and could not be changed due to worldly taboos. It was like the stars hanging in the sky, whose position remained constant.
Therefore, even though Zhang Yuan's hands kept moving, Wu Xingyun gritted his teeth and cooperated. Even though the pain was unbearable, he could only let the cries of pain escape from the corners of his mouth. The cries of pain were particularly clear in the quiet space.
Although Zhang Yuan's face turned red, Wu Xingyun understood that this was a necessary process in the treatment. His disciple Zhang Yuan was a gentleman and would never have any distracting thoughts in that regard. He was like a clear spring, pure and spotless.
Time passed quietly without anyone noticing, and Zhang Yuan and Wu Xingyun's practice lasted for about six hours.
When the two got up from the bathtub again, Wu Xingyun seemed to have been reborn.
Her pretty face became extremely rosy, like the most beautiful flower on a branch in spring, radiant and dazzling;
Zhang Yuan's expression was also somewhat strange. The blood in his body was surging, as if he was in great torment. Fine beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his hair at the temples, as if he had just been through a tough battle.
The two of them left the barrel and put on their bathrobes.
Wu Xingyun's pretty face flushed red, as gorgeous and dazzling as the clouds in the sky.
She looked at Zhang Yuan and said in a soft voice with a hint of gratitude:
"Thank you for your hard work, my disciple. It's okay. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Zhang Yuan looked at Wu Xingyun, who looked ten years younger after this training. His Adam's apple moved slightly and he smiled and said:
"It's okay, Master, it's not hard at all.
Look in the mirror now, I think you will be shocked by how you look right now."
Wu Xingyun's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of disbelief, as if he suspected that what he heard was just a fairy tale:
"Shocked by your own appearance? Is this so exaggerated?"
As she spoke, Wu Xingyun took light steps and walked towards a mirror not far away, with a graceful figure and elegant manners.
When she saw her own appearance in the mirror, she froze in place for a moment, an expression of disbelief revealed.
The self in the mirror looks mature, charming, graceful, and beautiful. She is more than ten years younger than before.
The skin has lost a lot of collagen due to the erosion of time, and looks old and haggard, like a withered flower;
But now, I seem to have returned to the most beautiful age of my life, probably around 40 years old, with charm in my eyes and eyebrows, like a blooming peony.
Wu Xingyun looked at his current appearance and immediately understood Zhang Yuan’s previous series of slightly strange expressions.
For a moment, her cheeks couldn't help but turn a little redder, as if the sunset glow was even darker.
Then he looked at Zhang Yuan and said:
"My disciple, you are indeed a genius. Amazing, really amazing! I never dreamed that you would have such means. It's not simple, it's really not simple!"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said:
"It's okay, Master, this is what I should do.
Okay, now I have completed the first meridian clearing for you. Next you can practice your set of exercises normally.
However, when you practice next time, don't practice in your original way. It's better to practice in the way I changed it. This way, the effect may be better. What do you think?"
Wu Xingyun nodded, his eyes full of approval, and said in a gentle voice:
"My dear disciple, you are right.
From now on, I will listen to you.
You have worked really hard today, and I have seen it all."
Zhang Yuan quickly waved his hands, with a sincere smile on his face:
"It's not hard. It's my honor. I am happy to be able to help you solve your problems."
As he spoke, Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wu Xingyun. A hint of curiosity and admiration flashed in his eyes, and then he said:
"But I have to say that Master, your appearance is truly extraordinary. If you were to go back to when you were 18, you would definitely be an unrivaled beauty who would outshine all the other beauties."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh out loud. There seemed to be a gleam in his eyes as he jokingly said,
"My disciple, what are you planning? Do you want to see me when I was 18?"
Zhang Yuan didn't even think about it and blurted out:
"Of course I do. How could I not want to? If I could meet my master when he was 18, I would be very excited."
Heroine Wu smiled and said:
"Actually, this isn't that difficult. As long as I'm willing to change back, I can change back very quickly. It just depends on whether I'm willing or not."
Zhang Yuan was startled at first, then smiled and said:
"That's true, but judging from your current situation, it's obviously inappropriate to do so.
The meridians in your body have not been completely unblocked. If you want to officially unblock them, you will have to do at least 6 more such treatments, and the subsequent treatments may be even more in-depth.
Only in this way can I completely clear the meridians for you, my master. And only by clearing the meridians can you make your body truly adapt to the state of your youth.
At the current pace, it will obviously be impossible without a year or two, but if I were five or six years younger, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Heroine Wu smiled and said:
"My dear disciple, you are really thoughtful.
In fact, being younger is of no use, it will only bring more troubles.
It’s not good for a woman to be too beautiful, as it will attract a lot of attention.
Even when I'm walking on the street, people will inexplicably stop me and ask for my contact information or chat me up. It's really annoying, and I'm fed up with that feeling.
It is better to keep a low profile so that no one can disturb me and I can do what I like peacefully and with all my heart.”
Zhang Yuan smiled and praised:
"Master, you are really a person with an open mind. You are not simple, really not simple.
Oh, by the way, I want to tell you something next."
Wu Xingyun asked:
"Oh? What is it? Tell me."
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly and said seriously:
"From now on, you don't need to come to see me so often. You need to wait at least half a month, or even longer before you can come to see me.
Because I am going to Qingyun Temple.
After I went to Qingyun Temple, I could no longer be as free as I am now. Once I went there, if I wanted to get out, it would take at least two weeks. If I encountered problems that could not be solved, I might have to stay in Qingyun Temple even longer.
So, Master, during this period of time, you may not be able to see me. "
Wu Xingyun couldn't help laughing after hearing what Zhang Yuan said, and said:
"So you want to go to Qingyun Temple, okay, I get it.
In the future, I may also go to Qingyun Temple. Wouldn't it be the same if I go to Qingyun Temple to look for you then?"
Zhang Yuan looked at Wu Xingyun seriously, his eyes full of surprise:
"Okay, is that so? Master, you have to go to Qingyun Temple too."
Wu Xingyun nodded heavily and said firmly:
"Yes, the Dao Conference held by Qingyun Temple will start in more than a week. At that time, all the people in the martial arts world who are interested in Qingyun Temple should come to participate, especially the disciples of the Taoist sect will come in greater numbers.
Besides, there is indeed a secret hidden inside Qingyun Temple, so you must be careful when you get there."
Zhang Yuan smiled and replied:
"Okay, then let's meet at Qingyun Temple."
Wu Xingyun nodded and said:
"no problem.
By the way, my dear disciple, after you exorcised the poison from me this time, I felt completely clear-headed.
I wonder, how many times will I need to go through this treatment?
