“The first is to be free from all the five impurities of life and death to be pure and flawless.
“Secondly, don’t mix with evil. Eliminate all evil and focus on creating good.”
“Thirdly, incense sticks are to be filled with a wonderful fragrance. You can sll it everywhere. This wonderful fragrance is virtuous.”
“Fourthly, keep your bodies peaceful, and your hearts as clear as a mirror. They should be untainted.”
“Fifthly, be soft and not astringent. Be charitable and benevolent.”
There were many people in the world who did good deeds and virtues, but Yu Youyao was the only one who had good deeds according to the ten practices.
Yu Youyao was fated with Buddha.
Yu Youyao was in a daze, although all of this was just her cousin’s guess.
For so reason, she had a vague feeling that her cousin was right.
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Zhou Linghuai said, “There are all kinds of strange things in the world. We’ll do as we did in the past, now, and in the future. There’s no need to feel confused.’
He knew that the spiritual dewdrop would not be bad to him. In the future, he would use it as carefully as he did now, so he did not have to worry anymore.
After figuring this out, Yu Youyao smiled. “Actually, I’ve always been very glad that I had such a fortuitous encounter. At the very least, it’s because of the spiritual dewdrop that I can help Cousin recuperate.”
No matter how expensive the dicinal herbs were, her cousin’s body was weak and could not be nourished. Only a spiritual item like the spiritual dewdrop could have the effect of nourishing his body.
Although its effect was not especially powerful, in two to three years, her cousin’s body had recuperated a lot and could already withstand the treatnt of the internal acupuncture point.
The corners of Zhou Linghuai’s mouth twitched slightly. “It’s all thanks to Cousin’s spiritual dew.”
Yu Youyao suddenly thought of sothing. “By the way, Cousin, Uncle Sun said that after you wake up, you still have to drink a bowl of nourishing Yang soup.
I’ll ask Uncle Sun if you want to drink it now.”
Zhou Linghuai shook his head. “There’s no need to ask him. The dicine is on the stove over there. It’s already brewed. I’ll just drink it directly. It’s always been like this before.
Yu Youyao quickly went to the dicinal stove.
Zhou Linghuai tilted his head to look and frowned. “Let Chang An do it. Be careful not to burn your hands.”
“It’s not like I haven’t done this before, so I won’t burn my hands.” Yu Youyao took a cloth from the side and wrapped it around the handle of the dicinal jar. She easily picked up the dicinal jar and poured the black dicinal soup into the bowl that she had prepared early on.
In order to prevent the dicine from being too hot and not easy to swallow, she specially raised the dicine jar and slowed down the speed of pouring the dicine. The dicinal soup slowly entered the bowl.
In the past, her grandmother was always sick, and her headache dicine had to be eaten consistently. Sotis, she would also help her grandmother deliver the dicine.
Zhou Linghuai chuckled.
The black porcelain bowl was burning. When she poured the dicine, the temperature had decreased significantly. It was no longer too hot. With a layer of cloth, it was not hot in her hands.
Yu Youyao brought the dicine bowl over and sat beside her cousin.
Worried that the dicine was still a little hot, she was in no hurry to feed it to her cousin. She first took the spoon and gently stirred the dicinal soup. After a while, she scooped a small spoonful of dicinal soup and lowered her head to blow on it a few tis before bringing it to her cousin’s lips.
Every move was ticulous.
When the dicine entered his mouth, it was neither cold nor hot. It was the most suitable for drinking. As soon as he swallowed the dicine, Yu Youyao took a plate of Lingxiang Fragrance Cake from the table and handed it to her cousin. “This dicine tastes too strong. It must be very bitter. Cousin, eat a piece of Lingxiang Fragrance Cake to wash away the bitterness before continuing to drink the dicine.”
Zhou Linghuai thought to himself, What kind of bitter dicine had he not drunk before?
Why did she have to be so delicate?
Although he thought so, his body was still extrely honest. He obediently opened her mouth and finished a large bowl of black dicinal soup.
It was clearly a dicine that was even more bitter than Chinese goldthread, but after drinking it, there was a hint of sweetness in his mouth.
Seeing that there was a little dicinal soup at the corner of her cousin’s mouth, Yu Youyao subconsciously pinched her handkerchief and naturally wiped the corner of her cousin’s mouth.
The thin handkerchief was pressed against her cousin’s pale lips, and a soft touch ca from her fingertips.
Yu Youyao couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw her cousin looking at her deeply.
Only then did she realize that her actions were a little inappropriate.
Yu Youyao moved the handkerchief away in a panic and said reluctantly, “Uh, in the past, Grandmother had always been sick. I would sotis serve her dicine. I’m used to it, so…”
Towards the end, she couldn’t continue.
Zhou Linghuai chuckled. “No wonder you’re so proficient.”
Yu Youyao panicked a little and avoided her cousin’s gaze. However, her cousin kept looking at her. Even though she lowered her head and did not et his gaze, she could feel that his eyes were as focused as before. When he looked at her, his eyes were always deep and vast, like an abyss. However, every ti, she could see the dazzling starry sky in her cousin’s eyes.
Once, she said to Yu Shuangbai, “Cousin has stars in his eyes.”
Yu Shuangbai rolled her eyes at her. “Cousin Zhou’s eyes are clearly a bottomless abyss. Just looking at them makes feel like I’m about to fall into the abyss and shatter into pieces. I don’t even dare to look into his eyes.”
Later, she understood that the stars in her cousin’s eyes belonged only to her.
Yu Youyao felt that sothing was amiss. She had only helped her cousin wipe the corner of his mouth.
She and her cousin usually fed each other. What was this?
Besides, her cousin had just finished his acupuncture and his body was still very weak. She should be taking care of him ticulously.
Yu Lianyao had successfully convinced herself to calm down. When she looked up again, she was a little calr. “I’ve finished my dicine. Cousin, you should eat sothing.”
After a long morning, Zhou Linghuai was indeed hungry.
There was light and appetizing food prepared in the kitchen. Yu Youyao had lunch with her cousin. “Uncle Sun said that after the acupuncture today, Cousin can try to stand first.”
As soon as she said this, Yu Youyao regretted it.
She rembered that her cousin’s leg had been broken for five to six years and he had only regained consciousness now. It would definitely not be easy for him to stand up. She could not be too anxious.
She quickly explained, “Uncle Sun ans that Cousin’s legs will recover after seven treatnts. However, Cousin has been in a wheelchair for five to six years. The muscles and bones in his legs need to be reforged to beco flexible and gradually recover to their original state. Cousin, don’t be too anxious. We’ll take it slow.”
Zhou Linghuai suddenly tightened his grip on the armrest of the wheelchair. Uncle Sun had said this to him before he perford the acupuncture this morning.
However, that wasn’t what he had said.
Qi rushing to the internal acupoints could indeed dissolve the blood and circulate the ridians. This only gave him a chance to recover his legs. Whether he could stand up again depended on him to overco all kinds of physical, ntal, and spiritual obstacles.
The pain of standing up again was like being seriously injured and on the verge of death back then. However, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Seeing that her cousin was silent, Yu Youyao felt a little nervous again. “It’s just a try. It doesn’t matter if it fails. There’s still a long way to go. I’ll just accompany Cousin and take it slow.”
Zhou Linghuai suddenly asked, “Do you really want to stand up again?”
Yu Youyao pouted. “Is there a need to ask? From the first ti I saw Cousin, I felt that a person like him shouldn’t be trapped in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and suffer the strange gazes of the world. Cousin should stand upright..”
