Lingshan County City, Xia Mansion.
Jiang Rou and Xia Qingshan, one on the left and one on the right, felt Chu Xiu's pulse.
"This pulse..." Xia Qingshan frowned, the pulse was vague and absent. If he didn't have some strength, he might not be able to detect Chu Xiu's pulse at all.
Jiang Rou's focus was on the temperature of Chu Xiu's wrist. As Meng Tiangang said, it was like a piece of warm jade, which was slightly lower than the body temperature of ordinary people.
"I'm fine. Master Jiu Taoist once took me to Yaowang Valley, and Yaowang Mo Baicao treated me." Chu Xiu explained, and Jiang Rou's concerned and pitiful eyes made him a little unbearable.
"Mo Baicao..."
Xia Qingshan calmly retracted his hand.
He does have some medical skills, but compared to the King of Medicine, he is just like Guan Gong.
"You're like this, how can my brother let you come to Lingzhou alone?" Jiang Rou was very dissatisfied, her eyes full of pity.
"Forehead……"
Chu Xiu was speechless for a moment, thinking that I just had cold poison in my body, and I was not weak.
"Master Yichen can't help you resolve the cold poison?" Jiang Rou looked at Chu Xiu and asked warmly.
"Master Yichen said that the dean of Zhuque Academy may be able to help me." Chu Xiu said truthfully.
"Suzaku Academy..." Jiang Rou, Xia Qingshan, and Xia Chuxue were all startled.
"Dean Feng is the number one person in the world. If he is willing to take action, he can indeed help you." Xia Qingshan said.
"Actually, my master Jiu Taoist also said that the dean could help me." Chu Xiu said softly, "He asked me to take the Suzaku Academy exam in April."
"You also want to take the Suzaku Academy's general examination?" Xia Chuxue couldn't help but ask. Before that, she had already planned to take the Suzaku Academy's general examination.
"Yeah?" Chu Xiu glanced at Xia Chuxue, his heart moved, and he suddenly understood.
Jiang Rou muttered: "Zhongzhou is eight thousand miles away from Lingzhou. You stay here for a few days, and we will go to Chang'an City together in a few days."
"..."
Xia Chuxue on the side moved her eyes slightly, glanced at Chu Xiu, but said nothing.
After knowing that Chu Xiu had been suffering from cold poison, her impression of Chu Xiu improved a lot.
"this…"
Chu Xiu hesitated.
In his plan, he wanted to travel eight thousand miles alone with one man and one sword, riding a horse and carrying wine.
"Brother asked you to come to me because he definitely wanted us to take you with him." Jiang Rou held Chu Xiu's hand and said in an unquestionable tone, "You stay here first, and we will set off in a few days."
"All right."
Chu Xiu did not refuse anymore.
"Let's go together..." Xia Qingshan secretly glanced at his daughter Xia Chuxue and became wary.
He didn't forget that his uncle, the wine Taoist, wanted to bring his daughter and Chu Xiu together in his letter.
"I was walking with Rou'er back then, and that's why I caught up with Rou'er..."
Xia Qingshan frowned secretly.
.
Return to the room in the east chamber courtyard.
Chu Xiu put down the book box and breathed out gently.
Thinking back on this trip to Lingshan, I was speechless.
Master Yichen is highly respected and enjoys a good reputation in the nineteen states.
Although Master Jiu Taoist was addicted to alcohol and often lost his temper, he really had nothing to say about him. It could be said that he took care of him for five years and provided him with various precious medicinal materials.
These two people are undoubtedly good people.
In comparison, Yiming, the sweeping monk who led Chu Xiu to practice, seemed to have ulterior motives.
"My survival depends on more than just fighting fire with fire..."
Chu Xiu shook his head, took out a green gourd from the bookcase, and drank it gently.
Lingshan County.
In a restaurant.
With both fists and palms, Meng Tiangang's face turned a little pale.
In three hours, he went to the latrine twenty-four times.
"Grandpa, are you poisoned?" Meng Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask. He felt as if his grandfather had been given laxatives.
Naturally, I thought of the pot of wine my grandfather drank.
Meng Tiangang's face turned dark and he glared at Meng Xiaochuan fiercely.
Meng Xiaochuan looked innocent and muttered: "Why are you staring at me? I didn't poison you."
"That kid is so bad." Meng Tiangang gritted his teeth and said, "He actually put laxatives in the wine!"
"Well... I think someone reminded you, grandpa." Meng Xiaochuan hesitated. He remembered that Chu Xiu specially brought a pot of non-toxic wine gourd to hand to his grandfather, but his grandfather thought that the wine he gave was the worst...
The wine was obviously quite delicious.
"snort."
Meng Tiangang snorted coldly, feeling extremely depressed.
It's hard to avenge this revenge.
Just as Sun Tzu said, he drank the wine by himself, and he also knew that there was poison in the wine... However, he did not expect that the poison in the wine would be so strong that even he could not Really hold on.
"Grandpa, you won't really let me compete with the monks from Lingshan Temple tomorrow, right?" Meng Xiaochuan complained, "I'm just here to watch the battle.
The exams for Suzaku Academy are coming soon, and I don’t want to reveal my strength in advance. "
"Don't worry, no one will know." Meng Tiangang said calmly, "Just make a few moves. I have recovered. I will find an opportunity to fight with the one-punch monk tomorrow."
"Just a few tricks?" Meng Xiaochuan frowned and said in a low voice, "I don't want to lose."
"Then fight seriously."
"I don't want to reveal my strength in advance."
"I don't want to do this or that. Why are you going to do it?"
Meng Tiangang was angry.
Meng Xiaochuan's face was dark and he thought, "What am I here to do?" Don't you have any idea?
You drank and made mistakes, and you blame me?
"If you win, I will take you to have a nice drink tomorrow." Meng Tiangang said calmly.
"Good wine?" Meng Xiaochuan's eyes lit up, and some of what Xia Qingshan said came to mind.
Two hundred and seventy years of monkey wine.
Two hundred and forty years of Wuquan wine.
One hundred and ninety years of Sangluo wine.
One hundred and fifty years of Tusu wine.
And the peerless wine Wangyou Wine that even Grandpa was jealous of!
…
Outside Lingshan County, near the Xia Family Medicine Forest.
"This is quite a treasure."
Duanmu Yaoyao from Zhuque Academy closed her eyes and inhaled gently through her nostrils. The fragrant smells of various herbs in the medicinal forest filled her heart and spleen one by one.
Next to her, there was a young man standing, slightly fatter, who was Duanmu Yaoyao's junior brother, Tang Jiabao.
Both of them are disciples of the Suzaku Academy. They came here this time because of the Red Flame Clam that appeared in the Xia Family Medicine Forest.
In the eyes of most people, the Red Flame Clam is a highly poisonous thing like the God of Plague;
In Duanmu Yaoyao's eyes, the Red Flame Clam is like a holy object, a rare medicine that only exists in legends.
In addition to being a disciple of Suzaku Academy, Duanmu Yaoyao is a descendant of the Sunu lineage of doctors. She is proficient in medical skills. People who know her well even feel that her medical skills are no weaker than that of Medicine King Mo Baicao.
"It is indeed a treasure land." Tang Jiabao looked at the medicinal forest and said with emotion, "It is no coincidence that the Xia family has been able to inherit it for hundreds of years. They understand the principle of 'too much is not equal'. There are many medicinal plants in this medicinal forest that are more than three years old. Precious medicinal materials that have been used for centuries, the ratio of new medicines and old medicines is very harmonious.”
Tang Jiabao, who was born in the Tang clan of Sichuan, is proficient in poison techniques and hidden weapons.
Usually, people who know the art of poisoning are as good at medicine as those who know the art of medicine.
"Are you sure you can catch Zhu Ha?" Duanmu Yaoyao glanced at Tang Jiabao.
"Let's go and take a look first. Xia Qingshan's strength is not weak. He has been unable to catch the red clam. We are afraid that we will have to spend some time." Tang Jiabao muttered. He didn't know much about the red flame red clam.
"good."
They both put on black robes and hats and sneaked into the medicinal forest.
