Cranes and Blazing Sun - C12
Zhang Qingyun slightly opened his eyes. In the center of the room, there was a square table made of pear wood. The exquisite decorations of the carved flowers were not ordinary, and on the top of the bed was a brocade bed. Below the table was a soft wooden bed. The bronze mirror was set on the wooden dresser, and the room was clean and comfortable.
The speckles of sunlight shone in through the window. It was a beautiful scene outside. There were fake mountains, small ponds, green lotus roots, and pink water lilies. A young master could be seen passing by the ponds with full footsteps.
The door creaked open. The young girl gracefully walked to the bed with a rustling sound and said gently, “You’re awake.” The voice was like an oriole, beautiful and pleasant to listen to.
Zhang Qingyun muttered, “Where is this? Is it in the fairyland?”
The girl smiled and said, “What immortal mirror? This is my room.”
Zhang Qingyun raised his head to look at the young girl. She was around sixteen to seventeen years old, with green willow leaves scattered on her shoulders, and her flower-like oval face was sparkling and translucent like jade. Her cherry lips were slightly opened, and her cheeks were snow-white without makeup.
The girl smiled slightly and said, “Why are you so unreasonable as to stare at me?”
Zhang Qingyun felt that he had lost his composure and hurriedly looked away. He wanted to sit up but found that he could not move, “What’s wrong with me?”
The young girl’s slender fingers brought out a porcelain bowl. His fingers were as thin as grease, and he said softly, “You have been poisoned, so I took a few dozen of your acupoints.” To prevent the strange poison from attacking your heart, and to prevent it from being exhausted right now, it would be inappropriate to walk around. First, drink this bowl of porridge and get a good night’s sleep. ” He raised his arm slightly and brought the spoon to his mouth.
As the spoon touched his lips, Zhang Qingyun felt a chill down his spine. He said, “What kind of porridge is this? Why is it so cold?”
The young girl said, “This congee was brewed meticulously by me. There are a few rare and strange medicines inside, and it’s not easy to obtain. Drinking it will help you get rid of the poison in your body.”
When the porridge entered his mouth, it was incomparably cold, but it was also extremely refreshing. It was slightly bitter, and could still be considered tasty, and while eating, his eyelids felt heavy for some reason, as if they weighed a thousand pounds. He could not open them, and forced himself to finish drinking with great effort.
When he fell asleep again, he saw that the white morning mist outside the window was like a cloud of smoke, and the air was slightly chilly, as if it had just been raining heavily. Feeling that his hands and feet could move, he got off the bed, walked to the window, and gently opened the window.
The young girl passed through a crescent moon door and walked in. She held a teacup in her hand and placed it on top of Pear Wood’s square table. She said, “Did you sleep well last night? Why did you wake up so early? Not much.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “Sorry about last night, I fell asleep while eating.”
The girl faintly smiled and said, “It’s alright. It can’t be blamed on you because I added some medicine to calm the mind, making people feel especially sleepy.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “So that’s how it is.”
The girl said, “You must be hungry. Come over and eat some breakfast.”
Zhang Qingyun nodded and walked over. On the table, there was a plate of Peach Cream, a plate of green bean cake and a pot of tea. He took a piece of peach pastry and put it in his mouth. The peach pastry was extremely crispy. It was oily but not greasy, and it was tender and refreshing.
The girl’s eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked, “Is it delicious? I made it myself this morning.”
Zhang Qingyun smiled, “I am so lucky to be able to eat such delicious food.”
The girl said, “Really? Eat more.” With a smile on his face, he was in high spirits.
Zhang Qingyun ate a few more peach blossoms, and said, “Thank you for saving me, Miss. Qing Yun is grateful. ”
The young lady said, “At that time, I was just passing by to help. How could I dare to ask for Young Master Qing Yun’s gratitude?”
Zhang Qingyun said, “I’ve been afflicted with a strange poison, thank you for detoxifying me. I wonder what method you used to be able to make me recover in such a short period of time.”
The young girl covered her face as she laughed, “Young Master, this is actually not difficult, but I don’t know what kind of poison it is, but it took you a lot of effort.” She turned around and carried a burst of fragrance with her as she walked out the door, saying, “Young Master Qing Yun, come with me.” She then walked to the corridor, and between the rock walls, a stream of essence water came out and hit the nearby lotus leaves.
Zhang Qingyun said, “What a beautiful fish. Where did you get these? Why haven’t I seen them before?”
The young girl said, “Don’t underestimate these fish. They are the ones who cured you of the poison in your body.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “Fish can also detoxify poisons, they are swimming around in the water so they are very cute. I didn’t expect them to be even cuter, they can even detoxify poisons.”
The girl said, “This is not an ordinary fish, this is something Master obtained from the distant Western Regions. Every day, he uses 100 types of herbs, which is why the fish have the effect of detoxifying the poison.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “Wouldn’t that be very precious?”
The young girl said, “It is indeed a little precious, but no matter how precious it is, it is not as precious as someone’s life.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “I’ve been bothering you for so long, but I haven’t asked for your name yet.”
The young girl said, “My name is Miao Ruofei. Master will call me Fei’er. You can also call me Fei.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “My name is Zhang Qingyun, how would Qingyun Peak dare to call me that? I will never forget Miss Miao’s kindness. However, I have a friend who is trapped in a fire cave. I must take my leave.”
The young girl faintly said, “The person you want to save is that Tingting girl.”
Zhang Qingyun’s complexion turned red. However, he soon returned to his normal state and said, “Miss Miao, how did you know about this?”
Miao Rufei said, “In your dreams, even if you didn’t call her a thousand times, there would have been at least eight hundred times. That Tingting girl must be a beauty that you can’t forget. She must be your soulmate.”
Zhang Qingyun couldn’t help blushing. He hurriedly said, “No, we are just ordinary friends.”
The young girl faintly smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you’re a soulmate or an ordinary friend, why do you need to explain it to me?”
Zhang Qingyun did not know what to say, because he truly did not know what to say, and did not know what to say, so he could only leave. Walking to the Crescent Gate, he saw a sea of flowers, but he had never seen so many flowers in his life before. The entire area was filled with beautiful flowers. The fragrance was intoxicating. With a gentle breeze blowing, the flowers swayed in the wind. It was as if there were many fairies dancing around. It was truly a sight to behold. There was a small cobblestone path in the middle, which went straight through an iron gate. It was very comfortable walking on the road.
Miao Rufei said, “Young Master Qing Yun, don’t go.”
Zhang Qingyun turned around and said, “The flowers here are so beautiful.”
Miao Rufei said, “Young master can admire the flowers, but don’t go near the iron gate.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “Why? Is there a man-eating beast there?”
Miao Rufei smiled faintly and said, “That’s not the case. Master had instructed that no one is allowed to get close to that metal fence.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “So that’s how it is. I won’t be going then.”
Miao Rufei said, “Thank you for your understanding, young master. Why don’t you leave after lunch? It’s rare for people to come here. Young master can accompany Ruo Fei for the whole morning as a form of repayment for saving her life.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “With how enthusiastic Miss Miao is, it would be better for you to listen.”
Miao Rufei said, “Young master can call that lady Tingting, but why can’t you call her Ruo Fei? Could it be that Ruo Fei is Young Master’s friend?”
Zhang Qingyun panicked from what he said and said, “No, I don’t think so. In my heart, I feel like a fairy from the heavens, unreachable.” “How could there be such a thought?”
Miao Rufei smiled and said, “Really? But Ruo Fei doesn’t want to be the fairy in Young Master’s heart. Young Master, if you don’t want to be Ruo Fei’s friend, please don’t make fun of Ruo Fei.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “I’m speaking the truth, you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met. Fei, let’s go prepare lunch.”
Miao Rufei said sweetly, “You call me Fei’er. Big brother Qingyun, you call me Fei’er.”
Am I really beautiful? Did you lie to me? ”
I walked out of the sea of flowers laughing.
Before long, Miao Rufei brought out four delicate dishes and placed them on the table. She said, “My cooking skills aren’t that good. I’m sorry for making Brother Qing Yun laugh.”
Four small dishes, all of them extremely exquisite. Looking at them, they were all salivating. Reaching out with a bamboo shoot to his mouth, they instantly felt refreshing and delicious, and fragrant in all directions.
Miao Rufei watched as Zhang Qingyun ate and asked, “How about it, Big Brother Qingyun, do I cook well? Is it delicious?”
Zhang Qingyun ate one piece after another, but he could not stop talking to Ben. He said, “It’s simply too delicious, truly a delicacy on earth.”
Miao Rufei giggled and said, “Really? Big brother Qingyun, eat more. You eat here first, I’ll go pack up.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “Aren’t you going to eat it? It’s such a pity to not eat something so delicious.”
Miao Rufei carried a lunchbox from the kitchen and walked out. Zhang Qingyun thought to himself, “Not eating something so delicious, where are you going?” Out of curiosity, he put down his chopsticks and quietly followed. His movement technique was as agile and agile as a cat.
Miao Rufei passed through the crescent moon gate and walked towards the sea of flowers. She opened the gate and went in. She picked up a wooden stick from the corner of the gate. There was a pond behind the gate as well. A huge rock garden stood in the middle of the pond, but there were no fish in the pond. There was no water in the pond, not even a little bit.
Zhang Qingyun followed them here and saw a desolate area. There was not even a single blade of grass in the courtyard. There were hundreds of beautiful flowers outside, and the place was full of life and vitality. Inside, however, was gray, heavy earth, lifeless. The difference between the two worlds was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Miao Rufei turned the fake mountain around, but her figure was nowhere to be seen. She circled the fake mountain once, and the courtyard was only about ten feet wide. With a single glance, she could see everything. Finally, a person disappeared into thin air.
Suddenly, a mournful sound came from beneath the fake mountain. He turned around and looked carefully. Behind the fake mountain, there was a crack in the rock that only allowed a person to get close to it.
In the end, he found that there was a dark cave through the crack in the stone.
Miao Rufei lifted up the food box with the stick and hung it on the iron hook in the distance.
Zhang Qingyun was like a cat as he walked behind Miao Rufei and said, “What are you doing?”
Miao Rufei exclaimed, “Who is it?” His left hand hastily clapping out, Zhang Qingyun dodged and moved to the front, saying, “Fei’er, it’s me.”
Miao Rufei replied, “Ah, it’s big brother Qing Yun.” By now, she had already hooked her feet. Zhang Qingyun was unable to defend himself and tumbled into the cave.
A ghost-like roar came from inside the cave, “What beautiful little fresh meat.”
“Brother Qing Yun, how are you?” Miao Rufei asked. line up outside the cave
He frowned, appearing to be burning with anxiety.
Zhang Qingyun patted off the dirt on his body as he thought to himself, “What the hell is this place?” Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly realized that something was touching his face. His fingers were slender and shriveled like a zombie, and he seemed to be scared out of his wits. He was a complete savage. His hands and feet were tied with giant iron chains.
Savage extended his arm and grabbed Zhang Qing’s throat, his actions moving as fast as lightning. Zhang Qingyun had been training in the valley for more than ten years, and he had no time to dodge this wild man. He let out a bitter and dry voice, “Boy, it’s Elder Mi who gave me this delicious meal, isn’t it?” He opened his mouth, revealing his black teeth, and moved closer to Zhang Qingyun’s neck by a meter.
Zhang Qingyun was still in shock, and his hair was standing on end. He raised his hands and attacked the barbarians’ temples.
Savage’s attack was even faster and he used a wild horse to gallop. His two hands blocked Zhang Qingyun’s arms and changed his palms into claws as he grabbed onto Zhang Qingyun’s chest.
Zhang Qingyun also changed his moves quickly. His hand was like a knife, slashing towards the Quchi Acupoint on the Wild Man’s arm. His left hand swatted out hastily, but the wild man had no choice but to change his move. Reaching out with his right hand, Zhang Qingyun was knocked onto the stone wall.
The wild man suddenly shouted as if he had gone mad, “It’s the Xiantian-Qi. There’s actually someone in this world who can use it.”
He then suddenly moved to Zhang Qingyun’s side and said, “Kid, who taught you this martial art? Who’s your master?”
Zhang Qingyun had already fought a few times, but he was either unable to move or fell to the ground, but the wild man acted as if nothing had happened, sending himself flying. His martial arts cultivation was already at an unknown level, so he said, “I don’t have a master.”
Savage snapped, “You don’t have a master. Don’t tell me your martial arts was stolen?” He lifted Zhang Qingyun up and viciously threw him onto the ground.
Zhang Qingyun’s inner strength was deep, but the force behind the savage’s fall was more than a thousand pounds. It was extremely painful to fall to the ground. That’s why I said that without a master, how can you say that I stole it and even hurt myself? “When he stood up, he discovered that there was a large hole in his chest, and that his clothes had been torn apart by the savage’s claw. Seeing that the dragon and phoenix that he had gotten from his mother had fallen to the ground, he bent down to pick it up, and just as his fingers made contact with it, the jade pendant flew into the barbarian’s hand.
The barbarian replied, “Where did you get this thing?”
Zhang Qingyun said, “This is mine, return it to me.” His hands intersected as he attacked the barbarian.
The barbarian looked at the jade pendant in a daze. His left hand reached out and struck towards Zhang Qingyun.
Zhang Qingyun suddenly felt a strong wave of pressure that pressured him to the point that he couldn’t breathe, and he came into close contact with the stone wall. Ye Zichen crawled up and said, “Your martial arts are amazing, but can you just casually snatch something from me just because you have high martial arts skills?”
The barbarian looked at the jade pendant. A few drops of tears flowed down from the corners of his dry eyes. It was as if he had met his family after a long time. However, a trace of hatred flashed in the corner of his eyes.
Zhang Qingyun said, “I’ll curse at you, but don’t cry. Just give it back to me.”
The wild man suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Qingyun. He snapped, “Answer me, how did you get that?”
Zhang Qingyun was so scared that he took a few steps back. With his back pressed against the stone wall, he forced a smile and said, “It was just a joke, don’t make it so big. This is from my mother.”
The savage grabbed Zhang Qingyun and said, “You’re not talking about it, right? I’ve already broken your skin and flesh.”
Zhang Qingyun shouted, “Don’t!” Before he could finish his sentence, he was on the ground again.
Savage bent over and glared at Zhang Qingyun, “If you don’t say it, I will smash you to death.” He made a gesture and grabbed Zhang Qingyun.
Zhang Qingyun quickly said, “I’ll say, I’ll say.” If I say it’s not enough. ” He then told her about his encounter with Grandma Lu and how he was poisoned and how he was rescued by Miao Rufei, and how he accidentally dropped her here.
The savage sat on the ground and said, “Heaven’s will. So you are the Lu family’s benefactor and also the Lu family’s descendant. This jade pendant can be returned to you.
Zhang Qingyun stretched out his hand to receive the jade pendant, but all of a sudden, Savage’s hand wrapped itself around his palm and he raised it high up.
Zhang Qingyun asked in a loud voice, “What are you doing?” He could only feel a ball of warm zhenqi spreading out from his arm, flowing into his limbs and bones, and finally flowing back to his dantian. He could only feel a ball of warm zhenqi spreading up his arm, flowing to his limbs and bones, and finally flowing back to his dantian.
