Li Zhen was holding the jade pendant that Gao Yanfu gave him. Jiu Zhi and Xiao Xiu met him, and he immediately cheered with excitement.

Jiuzhi slapped himself twice and cursed: "I'm such a fool. I actually forgot about this thing. We're saved now!"

Although Xiaoxi was not present at the time, he could not suppress his joy when he heard Li Zhen talk about this afterwards and murmured: "Blessings of the Bodhisattva."

Yan Xiao was confused when she heard this, and finally she couldn't help but say, "Don't be excited, tell me what's going on with this jade pendant?"

Li Zhen asked her, "Do you know Gao Yanfu?"

"Of course I know that he is the eunuch who is the most trusted eunuch in God's world."

Yan Xiao suddenly realized, "Is this the jade pendant he gave you?"

Li Zhen nodded, "When he came to Dunhuang at the beginning of the year, he was attacked by a wild wolf on the way. We happened to pass by and saved his life. This is the jade pendant he gave me, saying that I had any difficulties and could go to Luoyang to find him."

Jiu Zhi said from the side: "I was there at that time. Eunuch Gao said to Lao Li that he did not thank him for his kindness, so he gave him this jade pendant. My golden dagger was also given by him. If he had known that I would have wanted a jade pendant."

Yan Xiao took the jade pendant and looked carefully. She smiled, "It seems that God really favors you. Maybe Gao Yanfu can really settle this matter, you don't know! Gao Yanfu is recommended by Wu Chengsi to the emperor. To a certain extent, he is actually Wu Chengsi's person."

Everyone breathed even more relief, and Li Zhen asked with a smile: "How come Miss Yan knows so much?"

Yan Xiao's face turned slightly red. Fortunately, the night was dark and Li Zhen could not see it. Yan Xiao stood up and said, "Since that's the case, let's go now. The longer this matter is, the more troublesome it will be."

Li Zhen also stood up and asked, "Are you going to Luoyang directly now?"

Yan Xiao pointed at the small thin, "Where is this Yao Shaolang going? Should I go back to Zhangye or follow you?"

Xiaoxi sighed and said, "Brother Fat will definitely not go to Zhangye. I can help me with my health. I will also go to Luoyang. Miss Yan, please call me Xiaoxi!"

Yan Xiao looked at Li Zhen again, and Li Zhen nodded, "Since they refuse to go to Zhangye, then we all go to Luoyang together."

Yan Xiao made a quick decision, "Okay! Let's go to Zhongnan Mountain first."

"What are you doing in Zhongnan Mountain?" Li Zhen was stunned.

Yan Xiao shook her head, "I really don't have enough experience. It's a thousand miles away to Luoyang. You must be covered with your rewards and wanted notices along the way. Maybe you can walk around the city, but can you pass Tongguan? Can you use your brain? "

Li Zhen laughed, "I understand. Let's go to Hanzhong first, then to Nanyang, and finally take a detour to Luoyang. Miss Yan, I'm right!"

Yan Xiao glared at him angrily, "I'm another smart guy!"

She was too lazy to pay attention to Li Zhen anymore, picked up the sword and walked out, "Let's go! You'll know then."

...........

Zhongnan Mountain is located in the middle of the Qinling Mountains. There are thousands of green peaks and beautiful scenery. It has been known as the Immortal City since ancient times. Countless sages and gentlemen live in seclusion here. Some cultivate immortals and seek immortality, while others cultivate their minds and morality, seek inner peace.

The four of them headed south and entered Lantian County the next morning. The terrain gradually grew higher and vast mountains appeared in the distance, which was Zhongnan Mountain.

Lantian County is also the entrance to Ziwu Valley of the Qinling Mountains. This area is steep and has many valleys. It is also a gathering place for the hermits in Zhongnan.

At this time, Li Zhen finally understood Yan Xiao’s purpose of coming to Zhongnan Mountain.

"Miss Yan, are you coming to Zhongnan Mountain to find a master?" Li Zhen walked side by side with her and asked tentatively.

"It's almost the same! But it's not my master, but my aunt. She has been living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain for ten years."

It turned out that it was Yan Xiao's master. Li Zhen couldn't help but be curious about her. Her swordsmanship and light skills were very good. She should be famous. Who is her master?

Everyone walked for more than half a day, and finally entered a large valley at dusk, where there was a small village that was self-sufficient and had no dispute with the world.

"We're here!"

Yan Xiao led everyone to a small courtyard. The yard was very small. A very short fence was built with branches. The yard was planted with various herbs, and two large purple gold gourds, medicine hoes and medicine baskets were hung under the eaves.

"Sister Aunt, are you at home?Sister Aunt!"

Yan Xiao leaned over and shouted for a long time, but an old woman's voice came from behind them, "Is it A Yan?"

Everyone turned around quickly and saw an old Taoist nun standing not far behind them. She looked almost sixty years old. Although she had silver hair, her face was rosy and energetic. She was very thin and half a head shorter than a small one, but she was carrying a large medicine box, which looked quite funny.

"Mr.!"

Yan Xiao jumped up with joy, flew over like a little bird, grabbed the old Taoist nun's hand, and shook it hard like a coquettish, "Mr. Master, did you ever think I would come?"

"You little girl, there are foreign guests next to you!"

The old Taoist nun had no choice but to take advantage of her, so she glanced at Li Zhen and the other two, "Are they all your friends?"

"That's right! Master, I'm going to cause trouble for you again."

"Do you have caused me less trouble? Let's go! Everyone goes in and talk."

Yan Xiao said a few words to the old Taoist nun. The old Taoist nun was stunned, looked at Xiaoxi, looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"

"If you say that, I'm Yao Xi, please call me Xiaoxi."

Xiaoxi hurriedly stepped forward to get her medicine box, and the old Taoist nodded with a smile, "Yeah! She is quite polite."

Everyone entered the room. The old Taoist nun only had three thatched houses, two of which were filled with various herbs, the other was her living room and bedroom, and it was also a place for consultation. Everyone could see that the old Taoist nun was a doctor.

Yan Xiao quietly said to Li Zhen: "My uncle is the apprentice of the famous doctor Sun Simiao. He has been treating villagers in Guanzhong. His uncle also learned his medical skills from him. After his uncle passed away ten years ago, his uncle became a monk in Zhongnan Mountain and became a Taoist priest. He inherited his husband's will and continued to treat his mountain people."

Li Zhen nodded. He understood what Yan Xiao said to his aunt just now, okay! Let Xiaoxi recover from her injuries, and then go to Luoyang before recovering her injuries. Li Zhen smiled and said, "Your aunt seems to have a little fate with Xiaoxi."

I saw that in the room, the old Taoist nun was asking Xiaoxi something. Xiaoxi lowered herbs and answered respectfully. The old Taoist nun took a few more herbs and asked him. Xiaoxi's answer seemed to satisfy the old Taoist nun.

Yan Xiao was also a little surprised. Although she asked her master's aunt, she usually would not pay so much attention to outsiders, especially those with unknown origins. At most, she would let Xiaoxi stay and see the situation in front of her... This is really strange.

In fact, Li Zhen knew very well that Xiaoxi was a young monk in the past, and had been studying medicine with Master Lingyin, the host of Dayun Temple, and was treating disaster victims everywhere. Of course, the old Taoist nun would have some fate with him.

At this time, the old Taoist nun ordered Yan Xiao: "It's getting late, Yan, go and cook! There is a little wheat in the next room, and there is also a little wild vegetables in the mountain fern."

Yan Xiao quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Master, we bring dry food, soak it in water."

"This is OK. If you go and boil some hot water, I have to organize a room and give them some children a sleep."

The old Taoist nun went to sort out the thatched house. Li Zhen leaned forward and asked Xiaoxi in a low voice, "What did she say to you?"

Xiaoxi smiled and said, "She is really amazing. She actually saw that I knew medical skills. She asked me how I helped the plague victims in the past. I told her one by one. She said that our method of isolating patients is very good."

At this time, the old Taoist nun's voice came from the thatched hut, "Xiaoxi, please help me!"

"Why!"

Xiaoxi hurried over, and the old Taoist nun pointed at the herbs all over the room and smiled kindly: "These are all herbs picked by mountain people for me. Some of them have been too long and can no longer be used. Please help me separate them."

"Aunt, let me do it!"

Xiaoxi walked into the thatched hut and sat down, and carefully sniffed the medicines and distinguished them very carefully. He was originally a very well-behaved monk. His father's death had a great blow to him. The kindness and kindness of the old Taoist nun actually made him feel a little attached to him.

Li Zhen stood aside and watched silently. He could feel the subtle changes in his heart, which was what he expected.

Li Zhen looked back at Yan Xiao who was boiling water again, and couldn't help but be very grateful to her. Yan Xiao was very careful. She knew how to place Xiaoxi, so she brought Xiaoxi to the Master Gu of Zhongnan Mountain. Her careful move may really change Xiaoxi's life.

Life in the small mountain village is very hard and dull, and there is only simple meals. However, the old Taoist nun is respected by the mountain people. When they saw that there were guests at her home, they brought prepared cured sauce and fresh mountain fruits, which gave Li Zhen and the others a very good game meal.

At night, everyone sat in front of the fire. After listening to Li Zhen’s narration calmly, she realized that Li Zhen and the others had become the murderers wanted and offered rewards by the government.

"Relics are originally sacred relics of Pure Land, but they have become the target of the rights holders. They fight openly and secretly, and even kill people. It is a sin! Don't worry, the government's wanted information cannot reach this place. I have never seen a toll here for decades. I like this little child very much, so stay here for a few days!"

Xiaoxi quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old Taoist nun respectfully. He knew that he was too weak and could not help Li Zhen for the time being, and he was willing to cultivate here for a while.

The old Taoist nun smiled, "I originally stipulated that there was no meat here, only wild vegetables and coarse wheat, but small and thin ones had to nourish the body, so this rule was temporarily broken. Child, your body was thin because you had eaten too lightly since childhood and lack of qi and blood. I hope I can help you make it up as much as possible."

Jiuzhi quickly took out dozens of Sogdian gold coins. He was about to hand them to the old Taoist nun, but Li Zhen was shocked and stopped him. The old Taoist nun smiled and said, "It's okay, I really need to buy something. In two days, I will ask the mountain people to go to Lantian County to bring it back."

The old Taoist nun smiled at Li Zhen and said, "Don't think I am a god who is not in the world. My grandfather was the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty and his father was a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty. I have never seen any wealth? I am here just to seek inner peace, not to cultivate immortals."

Li Zhen felt a little embarrassed, so he stopped stopping Jiu Zhi from giving the old Taoist nun gold coins, but he was very curious about who the old Taoist nun's grandfather and father were?

.........

The next morning, Li Zhen and the other two said goodbye to the old Taoist nun and Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi sent them a trip. He said to Li Zhen: "Brother Zhen, I will recuperate here for a few days. When my health is a little better, I will come to Luoyang to find you."

Li Zhen patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "You can cultivate here with peace of mind and learn medical skills from your master. Although you can't practice martial arts, I hope you can become a famous doctor of the generation. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Luoyang. I just want Gao Yanfu to get rid of our sins. I will come to see you again. In short, you don't have to rush to come to Luoyang to find us."

Xiaoxi nodded silently.
