In Jiangling City, a few days later.
Song Xin went to Song Ya's room to visit. Song Ya had woken up, but his wound had not yet healed.
"Cousin, your medicine is really effective. The wound caused by the spear has actually grown new flesh."
"Well, cousin looks good." Song Xin said with a smile.
Song Xin got this medicine from the medical chapter of "Yu Qian Lu". He asked Cao Ren to find some medicinal materials. Song Xin personally prepared the ointment and applied it to the injured Cao Jun soldiers that day. The injured ones were now healed. Got to the ground.
Song Xin said: "Brother Wei left a message asking us to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible."
Song Ya said: "Well, cousin, my leg injury no longer hurts. I should be able to ride a horse."
"Cousin, if you rest for two more days, we will set off."
"good."
Song Xin returned to his room, and Xiaoyu's voice rang in his ears, "Song Xin, I can pick up the little straw horse, look."
At the same time, he saw a small grass horse floating in front of him.
"Really, so fast?" Song Xin said, opening the eye of clear consciousness. He saw Xiaoyu standing in front of him, holding the pony in one small hand.
"Well, just finish practicing this morning. Xiaoyu is so happy. I will make new dolls for Xiaoyu in the future."
Song Xin smiled and said, "Well, I have been busy with work recently. When I have free time in the future, I will definitely play with you."
Xiaoyu said: "Well, when you were at the city that day, Xiaoyu saw your face covered with blood, killing people in anger, and was very scared. It seems that Xiaoyu had seen someone as scary as you a long time ago, but she just couldn't remember it. .”
She thought for a moment and said, "Well, there's one more thing about Xiaoyu. The bone fragment you gave me last time seemed very familiar to Xiaoyu when she saw it."
"Oh, what did you remember?" Song Xin asked in surprise.
"No, I just remember that this bone fragment seems to be related to a relative of Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu really can't remember his appearance."
"Xiaoyu, don't worry, now that you practice Netherworld Dao Sutra, your soul power will become stronger and stronger, and you will remember these things in the future."
"Well, Xiaoyu knows, Xiaoyu is going to play." After saying that, she showed the cute look of a child again.
"Well, go quickly."
After Xiaoyu disappeared, Song Xin looked at the place where she disappeared and was stunned for a while. I don’t know what Xiaoyu is talking about, I hope it’s not something bloody and cruel. Song Xin even regretted practicing for her. If it was something extremely cruel, it would be better if she didn't think about it. Even if it dissipates in the end, it would be better than being tortured by that cruel and crazy memory.
After such a battle, the child's temperament has lost a lot.
Now the sergeants of Cao's army on the city also saw Song Xin's bravery in riding his horse into the enemy's formation to rescue Niu Jin and Song Ya. Don't underestimate him. Whenever you meet him outside, you will salute him.
In the past few days after the war, Song Xin felt that his body's meridians had become much stronger. In the human form that represents his cultivation in "Jade Seal Record", the Yang Wei meridians, Yin Wei meridians, Foot Yangming Meridian and Foot Taiyin Meridian used in Earth Escape Technique are all thicker.
The strengthened meridians also made the five senses more acute. Song Xin could clearly hear the whispers of others in the room dozens of feet away without having to release his spiritual consciousness while sitting in the room.
The encounter with Zhang Xiuyang that day and the subsequent battle at Jiangling made Song Xin feel that his physical condition was very good and he should be close to the boundary of breakthrough.
At this time, Song Xin heard someone walking into the yard and walked directly to the door of his room.
"Dong dong" The door of the house was knocked softly. Song Xin released his spiritual consciousness and scanned it, and it turned out to be Shi Chenjiao, the commander of the southern expedition.
Song Xin was puzzled, "I'm not familiar with Mr. Ji Bi, why did he come back to my room?"
Song Xin felt strange, went down to the ground, opened the door, and welcomed Chen Jiao into the house.
"Song Xin pays homage to Mr. Chang Shi." Song Xin knelt down on one knee and bowed.
"Brother Song, you're welcome. Please get up." Chen Jiao stepped forward to help Song Xin up.
"I wonder what you can teach me if you condescend to me?"
"Brother Song, you don't have to be polite. I was just watching the battle from the top of the city that day. I admired my bravery and martial arts very much, so I came to express my condolences." Chen Jiao was very polite.
"This lord must have something to say, but he just doesn't feel comfortable saying it." Song Xin thought to himself, and then said, "Thank you, lord, for your concern. Everything is fine with Song Xin. Does your lord have anything to ask Song Xin about?"
Chen Jiao did have something to do today, but he was not familiar with Song Xin. He was also a scholar and liked to mince words when speaking. Seeing that Song Xin saw that something was wrong with him, he secretly praised the child for his quick mind and good observation of words and expressions. Then he said, "Chen Jiao is here today. He really has something to ask."
Song Xin smiled and said, "My lord, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"Brother Song, I heard someone say that day that you suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the enemy's formation. It must have been a monk's spell, right?"
Chen Jiao's tone was very polite and courteous because he doubted Song Xin's identity. If he was a practitioner, he needed to treat him with courtesy.
Song Xin looked into Chen Jiao's eyes, a little surprised, but felt that this man had some bad thoughts, so he said calmly: "Sir, that's right."
"Are you really a practitioner?"
"Sir, you actually know about the practitioners?"
"Chen Jiao's original surname is Liu, after Liu Xu, Queen Li of Guangling of the Han Dynasty. Later, my maternal grandfather, Chen Tong, the Prime Minister of the State of Lu, had no heirs, so he adopted Jiao as his heir, so he changed his surname to Chen."
"Grandpa Jiao is just like my younger brother. He is a practitioner, but what he practices is the art of alchemy." Chen Jiao said.
Song Xin opened his mouth in surprise, "Oh? Your grandfather is also a monk. No wonder you guessed my identity. I wonder if your father is still alive?"
Chen Jiao sighed softly and said, "Jiao has lost his father."
"Song Xin doesn't know. I have offended your lord, but I hope you will forgive me." Hearing Chen Jiao say that Chen Tong had died, he felt that it was a bit reckless for him to ask whether his father was still alive.
Chen Jiao said: "It doesn't matter. In his later years, my father was obsessed with refining alchemy and knew some alchemists. Therefore, Jiao also knew that there were practitioners in this world. But my father later misplaced the elixir recipe when he was refining it. As a result, he was poisoned and had an accident. He was seriously ill and eventually died of illness. My father made good friends with alchemists during his lifetime, and he also told Jiao some of the things involved."
Song Xin asked: "I see, has your Excellency been able to practice with your father?"
Chen Jiao shook his head, "An old alchemist saw it back then. Jiao couldn't withstand the spiritual energy test and couldn't practice. But Jiao was willing to make friends with celebrities and practitioners throughout his life, so he knew some of the stories."
Chen Jiao said respectfully: "Today I learned that Brother Song is a cultivator, and Chen Jiao admires him very much. I would like to become friends with him in the future. I wonder if I am willing?"
Song Xin was naturally overjoyed. It was a good thing to have such a person willing to make friends with him. He didn't know much about Chen Jiao, but he couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw this man's politeness as a corporal. It seems that not all nobles are condescending and look down upon others.
"Your Majesty, I won't give up. Song Xin is a commoner with a humble background. It would be a great honor for you to be your friend."
"Haha, Brother Song said this, and Chen Jiao felt very relieved. Okay, I won't disturb Brother Song anymore." After that, he stood up and left. Song Xin also stood up and said goodbye.
Chen Jiao mentioned the matter of alchemy, and Song Xin remembered that in the "Sheng" section of the "Xuan, Sheng, Qi, and Ji" in the Yuqian edition, there were prescriptions and alchemy books for alchemy.
"I see that the materials recorded in the alchemy prescriptions are mostly minerals and herbs. According to medical theory, many of these materials are highly toxic. If an alchemist is not careful when making alchemy, he can easily be poisoned. Alchemy is very complicated. And the methods of alchemy that I can see so far are all written in difficult-to-understand words. If you meet a monk who is proficient in alchemy in the future, you can ask him for advice."
Since the two personalities merged into one, Song Xin has also learned to read and write in this era. Obviously, the Song Xin in this world originally read books. Moreover, his current intelligence level far exceeds the sum of the two of them.
Even so, I still can't understand those instructions for refining alchemy.
Song Xin flipped through several alchemy books while thinking about it, then shook his head and gave up. It's not that he is unwilling to work hard to understand. For someone like Song Xin who has no knowledge of alchemy, this is as difficult to understand as a heavenly book.
At this time, Xiaoyu's voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "This guy is really funny. His speech is refined and refined, and he is completely different from those big men with thick waists. I came here to talk to him because I actually want to make friends."
"This man is a contemporary celebrity, and his speech is of course refined. Those generals you are talking about are charging into battle, so they must not speak like this. Is it possible to walk up to the enemy and say: 'Can you kill someone?'"
As he spoke, Song Xin even bowed down, making Xiaoyu laugh.
"However, his father died because he took the wrong elixir. An ordinary person might not want to have contact with this monk anymore. But he still likes to associate with monks. It's quite interesting." Song Xin said.
"Yes, I also find this gentleman very interesting."
"Since Mr. Chen Jiao is here today, I should also pay him a return visit as a courtesy." Song Xin decided to visit Chen Jiao tomorrow.
