Chapter 211 - An inoffensive posture



Chapter 211 An inoffensive posture

Watching that the close hand was about to seal her acupoint again, He Danggui yelled, “Stop! You can’t do that! Why should I stab you for no reason?It’s better to give me money. Stop! If you seal my acupoint once again, I will kill myself!” The last sentence was what Dong Xinlan often yelled at Luo Baiqian, when they quarreled in Tao Yao Yard. Therefore, He Danggui learned these words unconsciously, and now she shouted out in a hurry.

She didn’t expect Chang Nuo to stop immediately. Not only did he stop, but he also stepped back in a panic and waved his hands. He persuaded, “Your mother and Lord Ning are by your side. How can you keep saying death? We can talk about it! I won’t move!” It was as if there were explosives on her body and a dagger in her hands. As soon as he got close, she would kill herself at once.

He Danggui felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t expect the sentence to work, after all Luo Baiqian didn’t go for it. She grabbed her dress on the ground and put it on. She said, “I don’t have any trauma, no need to check. Uncle Pan is a warmhearted man. Every time I cough, he will give me some medicine the next day. The vulnerary he sent for me was just in case. To be honest, I just suffered a very serious and strange internal injury, and it cannot be found by feeling my pulse. As long as I am not irritated, I will not be in danger temporarily. Childe Feng, if you have extra Zhenqi, you can give me some.” She learned this cheeky trick from Bai Yangbai, which could weaken the enemy’s power while strengthening hers. In this way, she was more confident to confront them.

Looking at He Danggui’s dress dyed red with blood, Chang Nuo still didn’t believe her words. He pointed to the blood on her back and said, “Why is there blood? Are you injured?”

He Danggui lied, “I told you that a killer came to Luo’s Mansion, who was a rare master in Wulin. He cruelly hit everyone he saw. I was slapped by him, so I vomited blood on my chest, and others were bleeding after being hit. Thus, my dress was dyed red with blood. But I didn’t suffer any trauma. It will be great if there is some Zhenqi to relieve my viscera. Well, I’m usually busy studying so that I don’t have many opportunities to practice martial arts. For the past 3 years, my internal force hasn’t improved.” She lowered head in a melancholy state.

Chang Nuo was shocked by the scene, which He Danggui described as “the killer hit people, and all of them were bloody.” So, he asked, “What’s his background? Do you have any clue? How many people did he kill? And have you notified the local yamen?” No wonder Pan Jingyang looked so vigilant when he saw Chang Nuo before. It turned out that such a vicious murder took place in Luo’s Mansion.

Since Chang Nuo was so gullible, He Danggui remembered the good deal. She smiled and said, “Fortunately, it was just a close call because Bai Yangbai came unexpectedly and fought off the killer. You must be curious that why I am so close to Bai Yangbai, right?”

Talking of Bai Yangbai, Chang Nuo showed an admiring expression, and recalled, “Yeah. I admired Taoist Sage very much. I wanted to be his student and learned his prowess since I was a child. Later I heard that Ning Yuan had become his student, so I asked him to recommend me to Taoist Sage. Although I met him, no matter how I begged, he refused to accept any student except Ning Yuan, but agreed that I could learn some confidential skills of Daguomen Sect from Ning Yuan. Those skills are amazing, but what I do want to learn is his rainfall magic. He has not even taught his only disciple the magic at all.”

He Danggui sat cross-legged on a futon. She pointed at the ground and told him to sit down with a smile, “It’s boring just talking. We can talk while healing, and it can be warmer. This cave is too cold.”

Chang Nuo nodded and said, “Wait a minute. I’ll be right back.”

Then he left and entered a dark hole not far away, fading away in the darkness. A rustling sound came from the next cave, and then Chang Nuo came back with a large bunch of firewood. He dumped the firewood next to He Danggui, and took an oil lamp from the stone wall to light them. The firewood burned up immediately with high flames, not only driving the cold away, but illuminating the small cave as bright as day.

Chang Nuo sat by her side. He looked at the blood on her chest and asked, “Where did the killer hit you? I can heal where you are injured, and you will recover fast.”

He Danggui smiled and reached out her right hand. She said, “You can use your hand and pass Zhenqi slowly, otherwise I have no time to absorb.” She pointed at her chest and said, “The killer hit my chest. If you pass Zhenqi from here, won’t you poke your chest? Actually, I have Zhenqi for protecting the body, and the injury isn’t serious. But it is better to heal me by a master, right?”

Chang Nuo held her slender hand. He felt that it was so warm and soft, so that he let it go at once uncomfortably. He didn’t think it was good to hold her hand because it would take a few hours to pass Zhenqi. So, he looked at her carefully, trying to find an appropriate and inoffensive part to pass Zhenqi. Finally, he pointed at the Zusanli acupoint on the outside of her calf and said, “How about here?”

He Danggui nodded and said, “Okay, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Chang Nuo answered and sat face to face with her. He grabbed one of her calves and passed the pure and mild Zhenqi to her body. He looked at her chest and said, “Since the killer hurt your cardiac vein, how about I pass Zhenqi into your pericardium channel?”

“Don’t bother,” He Danggui waved hand and said, “You can pass it into my Dantian. If I feel uncomfortable, I can use it to heal. Thank you again!”

“Nothing.” Chang Nuo began to concentrate on passing Zhenqi.

No one spoke. After the spark in the oil lamp cracked for the fifth, He Danggui began to speak, “Childe Feng, you are so talented. Why are you so believe in Bai Yangbai? Do you really think that he is omnipotent? Don’t you think that he is nothing but a mystical conman?”

Chang Nuo was wide-eyed. He said unhappily, “Miss He, how can you discredit Taoist Sage? You are so close with him, so haven’t you ever seen him show his rainfall magic?”

He Danggui shook her head and said, “Not once. I’ve never seen with my own eyes. Even if he did succeed in praying for rain in public, that was because he knew in advance that it was going to rain, and went to prepare. When it was overcast, he went to say something mysterious, pretending to be an immortal. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning are all natural. How can mortals control those?”

Chang Nuo retorted, “But he is not a mortal. He is the reincarnation of the Dragon King, and the immortal coming with the dragon! To be honest, I saw him do.”

“All right, fine.” He Danggui was not interested. It was just Bai Yangbai’s little trick.

Chang Nuo insisted, “Once the Emperor feted all officials, and also invited Taoist Sage. At that time, Taoist Sage didn’t say anything about rainfall magic. But an official surnamed Peng spoke recklessly during the banquet, implying that Taoist Sage was a deceiver, and the so-called magic was just a stupid trick. Then some officials believing in Taoism began to refute. The 2 groups quarreled word by word. In the end, they looked at Taoist Sage together and asked him to pray for rain on the spot to prove. However, Taoist Sage did not agree at the beginning. He said that the magic was used to benefit people in the world, instead of gambling. So, he couldn’t do it, or he would offend immortal. Besides, he was indifferent to fame and wealth. What other people thought of him was none of his business.”

He Danggui laughed and said, “He is a good poser. I can image his awe-inspiring but funny look.”

“Just when many people were a little disappointed, a news came from outside the palace. People who heard that Taoist Sage had come to the capital and entered Imperial Palace all gathered at the gate of the palace and bowed down. They begged Taoist Sage to pray for rain because they all heard that the rain from him could turn wasteland and sand into fertile soil.” Chang Nuo changed to a cross-legged posture and put her slender calves on his knees to pass Zhenqi. When he was recalling, there was a yearning look on his face. He said, “So, Taoist Sage had no reason to refuse. Even the Emperor also asked him to pray for rain. Many people were suspicious, worried, or gloating. He walked to the center of the palace courtyard. Then he pointed to the sky and made a circle. While murmuring, he did a few magic gestures. After a while, the cloudless sky was full of dark clouds. And then he shouted, ‘Here is the rain!’ The pouring rain fell down immediately.”

He Danggui scratched her nose and tilted head. She said, “Sounds very amazing.” How did he do it?

In retrospect, Chang Nuo was still thrilled, “That’s right. This is what he has. Watching the heavy rain, the people outside the palace cheered and the officials in the palace burst into an uproar. The Emperor was overjoyed and asked Taoist Sage how long the rain could last. Taoist Sage said the rain was from the Yellow River. Because the Yellow River was in the flood season, it would rain for 4 whole days, and the color of the rain was yellowish with silt. 4 days later, everything was as he said! Who can have such magic tricks in the world? Taoist Sage, Bai Yangbai!”

He Danggui wanted to laugh. It turned out that Feng Yang, Young Lord of Yangzhou Caobang Organization, was an admirer of Bai Yangbai. It was unexpected. She thought that someone who was outstanding and powerful like him should trust his own strength more. And people who reaped without sowing liked to fantasize those weird things of immortals, monsters and ghosts most... Wait, there was a problem!

He Danggui smiled and scrutinized the young man in front of her who was passing Zhenqi to her. Then she asked slowly, “Childe Feng, how could you witness that scene? When did you go to the Imperial Palace? I remember that you haven’t participated in the imperial examination, and you have no official rank, right?”

Chang Nuo’s dumbfounded expression lasted for so long. Right, he was now speaking to her as Feng Yang, not Chang Nuo, the Major General of Chang’s Mansion! What should he do?

“Ahem,” Chang Nuo cleared his throat and said, “Here is the thing. All I heard were from Ning Yuan. I admire Taoist Sage all the time, so I said I had seen them with my own eyes.”

When he mentioned Zhu Quan, He Danggui’s good mood of being passing Zhenqi was destroyed. She said coldly, “Since you heard from Lord Ning, I think it has something to do with him. Maybe this is a trap he set, in order to make Bai Yangbai be famous. And then he could use the name of Bai Yangbai to do his own things.”

Chang Nuo glared at her, “Don’t be full of nonsense. At that time, Ning Yuan went to Nihon. How could he plan such a big event when he was not in the capital? This is what Taoist Sage has. And he is omnipotent!”

He Danggui nodded with a smile and said, “Lord Ning went to Nihon, and he could tell you what he saw in the Imperial Palace. How funny you are.”
