Since Bai Gu's face after having a headache was too ugly, paler than the white clothes on Wang Xizhou's body, and Wang Xizhou had just resisted a blow from the female sword fairy and lost strength, so everyone decided to rest at Shen Jin's place for another day and see what happens tomorrow. Then decide when to leave.
Shen Jin and Wang Xizhou naturally had no objections. The former liked to make friends with people from all over the world and would not refuse anyone who came, while the latter wanted to stay with his highly respected senior. This kind of opportunity was rare, so of course it was refreshing. promise.
As for the others, they all looked indifferent.
Especially Xia Chanyi, now she only cares about recuperating from injuries and rebuilding her realm. Other things have nothing to do with her.
A place to rest? Where to sleep is not sleeping?
It would be nice to have some sleep!
Then everyone returned to Fangchun Garden and returned to their original rooms.
Wang Xizhou simply tidied up the room and planned to take an ancient book to Shen Jin to discuss the words in the book. However, he changed his mind and worried that Shen Jin needed a lunch break, so he went to find Hedu.
But even if Wang Xizhou really went to find Shen Jin, he would be in vain.
Because at this time, Shen Jin was sitting in Bai Gu's room, looking at Bai Gu on the bed with a smile on his face.
Shen Jin pointed at a young woman wearing blue and white clothes and a floral apron who was following him, "This is Liu Xue, the cook at my Fang Chunyuan. She usually spends less time in the small courtyard. If you walk around, you two may look unfamiliar."
The young woman bowed to Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao on the bed.
Bai Gu recalled the first "home-cooked meal" he had when he first came to Fang Chunyuan. He seemed to have seen the cook when he served it. It's just that the cook was walking briskly at that time, so Bai Gu didn't pay much attention to her, just glanced at her.
"Mr. Bai may not know that Liu Xue is not only an expert in cooking, but also has great medical skills."
"Huh?" Bai Gu looked at Liu Xue with some curiosity. The latter had round palms and long fingers. There was no trace of callus scars from chefs and doctors over the years. He looked more like a pampered and wealthy daughter.
Shen Jin knew what Bai Gu was curious about, but at the same time he appreciated Bai Gu's meticulous observation.
At such a young age, he has the airs of a veteran.
Shen Jin smiled and said: "It is said that the hands are a person's second face, and girls all love beauty. They definitely don't want their hands to be covered with calluses and scars. It is reasonable to practice a certain method of repairing the skin. Besides, , using Liu Xue’s medical skills to prepare a prescription for taking care of your hands, wouldn’t it be a matter of convenience?”
Bai Gu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Shen Jin turned to Liu Xue, "Mr. Bai's meridians have just been swollen, and his qi and blood have gone backwards. Please help Mr. Bai with acupuncture first to relieve his weakness. Also, Mr. Bai's physical condition seems to be lacking. Do you think there is any way to help?" Conditioning.”
"Yes." Liuxue's voice was as light as her footsteps.
However, when Liu Xue walked into the bed with the needle bag, Bai Xiaoxiao jumped down from the bed, holding her two small hands in front of the bed to protect her.
Liu Xue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Miss Bai, I am going to give your brother an acupuncture to relieve his weakness. I don't mean any harm."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked wary and shouted: "You are not a human! Don't come here!"
Liuxue's body trembled and he froze on the spot.
Bai Gu straightened up slightly, pressed down Bai Xiaoxiao's straight hands with his hands, and pulled her to his side. Then Bai Gu smiled and apologized to Shen Jin and Liu Xue, "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji, I'm really sorry. Miss Liu Xue, I didn't take care of Xiaoxiao, don't take it to heart."
Liuxue shook his head, "I'm fine. But Miss Bai is telling the truth. I am indeed not a human being."
This time, Bai Gu was stunned.
Shen Jin explained with a smile: "There are spiritual beings in the world, which can be divided into ten thousand races, and our human race is just one of them. Liuxue used to be a human race, but his hometown suffered a disaster and he died long ago. When his soul was wandering, he encountered an opportunity, Only when you start to practice, the flowing snow can remain in the world."
Bai Gu raised his eyebrows, "So, isn't Miss Liuxue..."
"I am indeed a ghost cultivator. What Miss Bai just said is actually true." Liu Xue admitted openly.
Bai Xiaoxiao's little face turned pale all of a sudden, and he went straight into Bai Gu's arms, "Ghost! There is a ghost!"
Bai Gu gently patted Bai Xiaoxiao's back. Although his hand was meant to comfort him, he pretended to be angry and said, "What are you talking about!"
Then Bai Gu turned to Liu Xue, "Made Miss Liu Xue laugh."
"It doesn't matter, this is the truth."
Bai Gu's face was still a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Miss Liuxue, for mentioning your sadness."
Liu Xue smiled casually, "There is nothing to be sad about. I have no feelings about life and death. Death back then was a matter of seconds. Before I could react, I became a lonely ghost. Later I became a ghost cultivator. There was a period of time I was confused, but slowly I figured it out, and this is actually a good thing. It’s the same whether it’s a human or a ghost, it’s just a different form of existence. I’m still me, still living in the world. This is extremely lucky. , is there anything better than this?”
Bai Gu nodded, deeply convinced, and felt a little more admiration for this woman whom he had never met before.
There are probably not many people in this world who can live such a free and easy life.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Liu Xue began to give Bai Gu acupuncture. After just a few injections, Bai Gu suddenly felt refreshed, and even the stagnant spiritual energy in his body became much more relaxed.
What Shen Jin said just now about his excellent medical skills was not just a casual statement.
Liu Xue took out another small porcelain bottle and handed it to Bai Gu, "Mr. Bai, this is the calming pill I prepared. It can relieve fatigue and weakness, relieve pain, calm the mind, and clear the meridians."
"Thank you." Bai Gu took the small porcelain bottle and was about to take out one and eat it, but he smelled a familiar smell.
Bai Gu brought the small porcelain bottle to his nose, smelled it carefully, and then took out a small bottle from the Xumi Pearl with a strange expression on his face. There was a small note on it with the word "Pain Relief" written on it.
Bai Gu took the small bottle and knocked it on his palm, pouring out a dark green pill the size of a mung bean. After getting closer and smelling it, the expression on Bai Gu's face became even weirder.
"Um, Miss Liuxue, I think I also have your elixir."
Liu Xue was also a little stunned when she looked at the mung bean-sized pill in Bai Gu's palm. As a doctor, Liu Xue was extremely sensitive to medicines, so naturally he smelled something familiar immediately.
Isn't this the smell of the calming pill I just took out?
Moreover, it seems that the one Bai Gu took out smells better and has purer medicinal properties?
Shen Jin didn't know much about medical skills, but he had traveled all over the world for many years, and he knew a little about the screening of elixirs. When Bai Gu poured out the small pill, he also noticed something strange.
It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad, but even if it’s bad, it’s not that bad.
Liu Xue took two steps forward, her tone trembling with excitement, "Can you let me see the elixir in Mr. Bai's hand?"
There was an extremely shocking thought in her heart.
Bai Guzheng wondered why Liuxue's calming pill and the painkiller given to him by Lao Liutou smelled so similar. Hearing what Liu Xue said, Bai Gu nodded and handed the small pill out.
Leave professional matters to professionals, why do you think so much about it?
Liu Xue took the small pill with both hands, and her knuckles separated from Bai Gu's palm as soon as they touched.
The two of them had only one idea, ice cold.
Bai Gu was unable to keep up with his diet in the previous years and suffered from malnutrition, resulting in a lack of Qi and blood. Coupled with the harsh spring cold now, it is understandable that his hands and feet are cold.
As for Liuxue, she is a ghost cultivator herself. If her whole body is not cold, then there is something wrong.
Liu Xue held the small pill and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally confirmed the idea in her heart. She felt that the world was spinning and her heart was surging, "Mr. Bai, I would like to ask, where did this...this bottle of pill come from?" Come?"
Bai Gu was not deaf, so he could hear the excitement in Liu Xue's tone, and the expression on his face became even weirder, "This was given by one of my... old neighbors. He is also a doctor and treats people for free at our place." Get some medicine. But he doesn’t seem to have very good medical skills and can only treat minor illnesses.”
Bai Xiaoxiao had a hidden illness previously, and wasn't Old Liu Tou helpless? Finally, he found Mr. Wu to take action, and Bai Xiaoxiao got better.
"Is this elixir refined by Mr. Bai's old neighbor?"
Bai Gu shook his head, "I don't know about that, he didn't say anything."
Liu Xue still refused to give up. He took out a scroll with a respectful expression and activated his spiritual power to open it.
There is a man in black clothes depicted on some yellowed paper, with a face like a crown of jade, a rich and handsome figure, his slightly opened eyes showing laziness and indifference, as cold as if a king came to the world and looked down upon everything in the world.
"I wonder if Mr. Bai has seen the person in the portrait?"
Shen Jin looked at the person in the portrait, couldn't help but sit up a little straighter, and then shifted his gaze to Liu Xue with an inexplicable meaning.
Bai Xiaoxiao climbed onto the bed and whispered in Bai Gu's ear: "Brother, why do the people in the painting look familiar? They seem to be the same person."
Bai Gu nodded with weird eyes and responded in a low voice: "A bit like Grandpa Liu, but Grandpa Liu is not as good-looking."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked back at the portrait a few more times, then nodded vigorously in agreement.
Bai Gu looked at Liu Xue, "Miss Liu Xue, to be honest, the person in this painting does look a bit like my old neighbor, but not much. My old neighbor is very old now and his hair is gray. . There are a lot of wrinkles on his face, and he is not that white, but much darker. His back is a bit hunched, and he is also very thin, so he wears more casual clothes. Anyway, he is not as majestic as in your painting, nor is he as good-looking. Pure There is just a slight resemblance. As for other people’s connections with this painting, I really don’t have any impression.”
"That's it." Liu Xue thought for a while, "Then Mr. Bai, this old neighbor, can I reveal his name?"
"The people there only know his surname is Liu, and they all call him Old Liu Tou, Grandpa Liu or Doctor Liu. As for his name, I'm not sure."
Liu Xue had disappointment on her face and put away the scroll.
Bai Gu looked at Liu Xue's expression and asked, "Are the people in the painting important to Miss Liu Xue?"
Liuxue hesitated for a moment and replied: "After all, this is my master."
"Calculate?" Bai Gu immediately grasped the key point.
"Because I am half a registered disciple of my master. My master said that I need to get the master's approval before I can officially join the master's sect."
Bai Gu twitched his lips, "So that's it."
This rule is so outrageous.
It’s such a vast world, full of wonders.
Shen Jin glanced at Liu Xue, who understood it and asked: "This elixir seems to be related to my master's inheritance. I wonder if Mr. Bai can temporarily give this elixir to me for research. I will return it tomorrow." Original owner.”
Bai Gu waved his hand, "It's just a painkiller. It's no big deal. Just treat it as my medical expenses. There is no need to pay it back."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai. Then I will go to prepare the pharmacy for Mr. Bai, so I will take my leave now."
"Miss Liuxue, walk slowly." Bai Gu gently poked Bai Xiaoxiao's back, "Go and see Miss Liuxue off."
Bai Xiaoxiao struggled for a while, but when he saw that Bai Gu was unmoved, he said reluctantly, jumped out of bed, and followed Liu Xue, always keeping a distance of seven or eight steps. After Liu Xue left the room and closed the door, Bai Xiaoxiao ran so fast with her little legs that she wanted to jump back to the bed from the door in one step.
Bai Gu understands Bai Xiaoxiao's actions very well.
It’s normal for little girls to be afraid of the dark and ghosts.
I’m afraid too!
Then Bai Gu turned his gaze to Shen Jin who was sitting aside, "Senior Shen, do you have something to tell me?"
