Chapter 61 Old Qin's Means
The sun in summer morning is already very vicious, but Old Qin seemed to like the sun very much. He actually placed the lunch table under the tree in the courtyard. He squinted his eyes under the tree, clasped a purple clay teapot in his hand, humming an opera that I don’t understand very well, a free and quiet heart, and a natural cool look.
I was worried about the inexplicable thing on my shoulders and walked towards Mr. Qin with big strides. My anxious look formed a sharp contrast with Mr. Qin.
"Old Qin" Finally, I stood in front of him and couldn't help but shout. Under the shade of noon, I avoided the venomous sun, and the slight natural wind made it cooler here.
Unfortunately, how could such a small coolness allow the heat in my body to dissipate? It was mainly because I was too anxious inside, the dangerous hallucinations that were dreamy and the inexplicable uneasiness inside were the reasons why I felt that I couldn't stand it.
After I shouted, Old Qin opened his eyes and stopped the opera that was singing high. He looked up and down at me, picked up the purple clay teapot in his hand, took a sip of tea with a 'squeak', and then said: "Eat first, have a big deal, let's eat after eating."
I was not in the mood to eat and talk, but Mr. Qin didn't answer my words, but pulled me to the table and sat down with a tough heart, saying, "You are the one that Brother Chengxin values. Otherwise, with his current status in our circle, why should you remove the poison for you yourself? But your nature still has the kind of impulse of young people. This is not possible. In the past, the people that Brother Chengxin values may have heavy responsibilities on your shoulders."
While talking, he picked up the clean cucumbers on the table and ate them, then squinted his eyes again to look very enjoyable. Then he said to me: "The freshly picked cucumber is very sweet. It is better to wash it with clean water than to do it. You can try it too."
When he spoke, he didn't allow me to refute it. He reached out and grabbed a fresh and crispy cucumber and stuffed it into my hand, and asked me to eat it in a stack of sounds.
I was already anxious by the wound on my shoulder, and then I was confused by Mr. Qin's words. What does it mean that the burden on my shoulders are heavy? Why do I mean that Mr. Su values me? What does he value me? Is it because he is poisoned? Then why does he value me? The responsibility on my shoulders is heavy?
Many questions came into my heart, and I couldn't help but think of the notes Mr. Su left me in my shirt pocket. Does he really value me? But what am I going to do?
The pragmatic spirit in my bones will not make me feel like a genius. A generation of heroes will make a name for themselves from now on. I think I am very ordinary, my spiritual sense is poor, and I almost ruined my foundation. So what if I have excellent soul power? Without spiritual sense as a guide, I can't exert it.
The only thing worth relying on is the inexplicable set of hand techniques, but I only remember three of them. Even the soul splitting of a little cat demon around me almost killed me. What qualifications do I have?
Therefore, I would not think about those illusory things at all. In the legend my master told me, the leading figures of cultivators, no matter what inheritance they are from, are all amazing talents. The enemies they face include big monsters, ghost emperors, and high-level existences among zombies, and the others they learn are all great talents who are above the way of heaven, subdue the Feng Shui of the country, and learn about military affairs.
What am I? Although two backs were engraved in my heart, one was Chen Chengyi, the so-called first person in the younger generation at that time, and the other was the mysterious Mr. Su. They ignited the blood in my heart, but there was always a gap between dreams and reality.
I was just worried about the mark on my shoulders, but when facing Mr. Qin like this, I had no choice but to take a bite of the cucumber. I couldn't go against others too much, after all, I still have to ask for him.
However, what I didn't expect was that this cucumber was really sweet, different from what I had eaten in the city. When I chewed it in my mouth, I was unconsciously surprised. Old Qin said proudly: "Is it delicious? It's a cucumber I picked myself without any fertilizer. Where can I eat this freshness in the city with the best mountain springs?"
I nodded and couldn't help but bite the cucumber in my hand again. At this time, Mr. Qin's two apprentices also sat on the table and the sweat beads hanging on their foreheads were particularly crystal clear.
"I have lived in herbs in my life, not as good as Brother Chengxin, and I cannot compare with the leading figures in the current circle of cultivators around him. Some people's lives are legendary, and some people's lives are ordinary, but no matter how they live their lives, they have meaningful and great responsibilities and ordinary duties. As long as this life has its own purpose and life is fulfilled, the heart of this life will be full and tempered by the endless small things in life." Old Qin picked up another chopstick dish, and mixed with very ordinary green onions and tofu.
Just like he said that in ordinary life, who can say that scallions are mixed with tofu and rice, can’t eat enough or not? They must not be as good as gorgeous dishes?
Mr. Qin's words were actually full of wisdom. When I ate the sweet cucumber in my hand, I suddenly felt that my inner anxiety calmed down a little. Mr. Qin continued to say to me: "I tell you this, I want to tell you that no matter how a person's life is, as long as he looks at the whole life, what is the most important thing? It is worth your anxiety and panic? These are not helpful in solving things. Just like when difficulties come, you pass an anxious second and a calm second, will the difficulties really not come? On the contrary, an anxious heart and difficulties may crush you, and a calm heart can also make you understand the problem from the miscellaneous things. The so-called calm mind is really the basis of everything. Maybe the difficulties will be solved easily. Just like now, if you eat well, you should do what you should do. Once you have enough, your mind will be smooth, and your perspective will be different."
I looked at Mr. Qin with some insight. It can be said that what the old man said to me at this time laid a firm foundation for my future behavior. I don’t think I am a genius, but it is also a way to make up for the human nature of not a genius.
After being relieved by Mr. Qin's words, my mind suddenly became clear. My anxiety gradually became calmer and began to concentrate on eating. There were a lot of dishes on the table, but except for a steamed fish, most of them were mountain and rural dishes. However, I ate very sweet. I had forgotten what was happening on my shoulders, and I also began to talk and laugh with Mr. Qin and his two apprentices.
After a meal, my mood had become calm and calm. I found that my mind was much clearer, and this calmness made me feel that I could face anything.
It was then that Mr. Qin asked me: "What's the matter with you just now?"
I took off my T-shirt, then pointed to my shoulder and said, "Old Qin, in order to remove the poison yesterday, Mr. Su felt that the viciousness in my body had been cleared, but for some reason, this thing appeared on my shoulder?"
Old Qin's face was originally calm, and the eyes that looked at my shoulders were also calm, but as he watched the mark grow longer, his face gradually changed.
He whispered to his two apprentices: "Get my silver needle and special pulse-taking tools."
When the two apprentices heard this, they did not dare to neglect them. They quickly entered the room and did as Mr. Qin told him.
I felt nervous when I saw it, and I couldn't help but ask Old Qin: "Is this mark a very serious matter?"
"I can't say whether it is serious or not, because I can't verify what it is without using some means. But this form is too strange. It can be seen that it is a claw mark. This is a bit difficult for me to understand about medical skills. I am not as good as Brother Chengxin. If he is there, I'm afraid you can tell what it is at a glance? It can be seen that this thing was something that didn't exist yesterday." Old Qin also became thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Mr. Qin's two disciples had already taken one of the boxes of tools that Mr. Qin needed to open. It was a slender silver needle with about ten shapes, with some complicated patterns on it, but what am I doing? My awesome master's sect is the formation. I could see at a glance that the complex patterns on the silver needle were a formation.
But after a quick look, Mr. Qin closed the box, otherwise I would give me some time and I could roughly figure out what this formation is for, and even analyze it.
Think about it, this is also the awesome thing about my master. However, at this time, I don’t understand what it means to carve a formation on the silver needle. I can only watch Mr. Qin select a position on my mark and then stab the silver needle in.
"This set of silver needles is something I inherited from. Its main function is not to distinguish poison, but to identify the medicinal properties of various strange herbs. There are special formations depicted by experts on it. You can extract a little medicine and absorb it on the silver needle and then use various means to test its medicinal properties. With silver as the base, it is mainly to distinguish whether it is poisonous or not." Mr. Qin didn't seem to want to hide it from me, so he explained it clearly to me.
At this time, I also had a subtle feeling, and felt an indescribable flow on my shoulder mark, heading towards the silver needle.
