Hu Long secretly channeled his inner strength when he shouted these words. Although his voice was not very loud, it echoed over the ruins of the castle for three days and lasted for a long time.
"Hall Master!"
When the two soldiers saw that he had taken the initiative to provoke the terrifying "Poison Hand Medicine King", they became extremely nervous. They rushed forward together and stood in front of Hu Huan again.
He had made up his mind. If the "King of Poisonous Hands and Medicine" really took offense and used a "poisonous hand" on his own hall master, he would do it himself, and he would never let the hall master make any mistakes.
"Don't make trouble, just stand still for me!"
Hu Long looked at these two brave men who were not afraid of life and death. He was moved and a little funny at the same time. He reached out and grabbed their shoulders and threw them back, like throwing straw, a distance of two or three feet, and let out a low scolding in his mouth. .
At the same time, a figure flashed at the city gate, and a girl appeared.
This woman looks to be fifteen or sixteen years old, but her figure is very thin and petite, and she looks like a little girl who is only twelve or thirteen years old.
The contours of her eyebrows and eyes are quite delicate, and her eyes are especially smart and bright, shining like two cold stars when she looks at them.
His complexion was yellowish, and his hair was yellow and thin, as if he was suffering from severe malnutrition due to not having enough to eat all year round.
This place is located in the far north, and even though it is the spring season, it is still very cold. Except for himself, Hu Long's group only wore a thin Taoist robe, and the rest all wore cotton clothes to keep warm.
And this girl only wore a blue cloth singlet, standing in the increasingly cold evening breeze in the mountains, without even the slightest hint of coldness.
"The Taoist master has such profound internal strength, but he is just so showy. Do you want to show off your authority in front of this little girl?"
The girl looked at Hu Long with a sinking face and a rather unkind tone.
Hu Long was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly smiled and said: "I wonder what we call the girl and Senior Medicine King? Pindao and others came to this barren mountain. Seeing that it was getting late, they planned to use this desolate place as a shelter. Because they saw the name of Senior Medicine King, I didn't dare to trespass, so I had to take the liberty of making noises to disturb you. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
Seeing that he was polite and well-spoken, the girl's face brightened slightly, and she sighed softly: "I've already made a lot of noise, what else can I say? There are a few shabby houses inside that can block the wind. Come with me!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and sprinkled some white powder on the wall and ground of the city gate, then turned around and walked directly inward.
"Master, be careful!"
The two warriors behind Hu Long saw the girl's movements, and saw that Hu Long waved his hands nonchalantly to follow her. They then raised their feet and followed her inside. They were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her.
The girl said without turning her head: "I sprinkled some medicine here before to stop people from wandering, and the one I sprinkled just now is the antidote. If you don't believe it, just find another place to stay!"
Hu Long said with a smile: "If the poisonous hand medicine King's family wants to poison, how can anyone see it clearly? I will naturally believe the girl."
After saying that, he pushed aside the two men and took a few steps to follow the girl.
When the others saw this, although they were still a little worried, they gritted their teeth and followed Hu Long closely.
Everyone arrived at the castle, followed the girl through many broken walls, and finally arrived in front of a row of houses that were suspected to be military buildings, but now had no roofs, doors, or windows.
The girl pointed to a room at the east end and said, "That room is my residence. You can choose any of the other rooms."
Then he ignored everyone and entered the room on his own.
Hu Long didn't care about her indifference. He ordered his subordinates to choose a few rooms as shelters, gathered dry firewood, lit several bonfires, took out the dry food and water he brought with him, and heated them on the fire. Come eat and drink.
"Taoist Master Hu Yuan, can you please come over and have a chat?"
The girl suddenly poked her head out of the window, which had only a big hole left, and greeted Hu Long, who was holding a pot of wine and drinking.
Hu Long laughed: "It's a great honor to be invited."
Then he signaled to his subordinates who all looked uneasy, asking them to stay where they were, and he carried the wine bottle and walked to the room where the girl lived.
After entering the door, which also had only a big hole, he saw that although the room had no tiles to cover the roof, the floor was very clean, a pile of hay was spread in the corner as a bed, and a fire was lit in the room. , the girl hugged her knees with her hands, curled up and sat on a log by the fire, looking increasingly petite and frail.
Hu Long saw another log lying on the other side of the fire, and knew that this was the seat the girl had prepared for his guest, so he walked over and sat down without ceremony.
He looked across the blazing flames and saw a blush on the girl's yellow cheeks, revealing a faint charm.
"Are you good at martial arts?" the girl suddenly asked.
Hu Long was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party meant, so he could only reply vaguely: "It's not bad."
The girl curled her lips and muttered: "If it's good, it's good, and if it's bad, it's bad. It's not a manly manner to be so vague!"
Hu Long burst into laughter, and immediately looked scornfully at everyone, and said proudly: "If I tell the truth, I don't dare to belittle myself. In terms of martial arts alone, although there are as many people practicing martial arts in the world as there are sands in the Ganges, but those who can enter the ranks of Pindao Those with eyesight can only count with one palm!"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed.
At first she thought that although Hu Long was young, he had unpredictable martial arts skills and a large following, so his status was of great importance. She thought he was a young man who had achieved his ambitions and was arrogant, but she didn't expect that he was so easy-going and funny.
After laughing, she said sternly: "Although what you said seems to be arrogant, the fact that you can say this shows that your cultivation is indeed not weak. In this case, the little girl wants to ask the Taoist Priest to help with something. Of course. , Since ancient times, emperors have never been short of hungry soldiers. If things can be done, the little girl will be grateful."
Hu Long raised the flask, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Thank you, but I didn't rush to say that if the girl wants to work for Pindao, she should first let Pindao know who she is working for."
The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "What the Taoist said makes sense. Since you have something to ask for, you should be honest with yourself. The little girl's surname is 'Cheng', and her nickname is 'Ling' and 'Su'. It is said in the world that The 'Poison Hand Medicine King' is the master."
"It is indeed her."
Although he was 99% sure in his heart, after the other party told him the origin of his name, Hu Yuan still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In the story in the memory of her previous life, this plain-looking woman became the most outstanding character in the whole story with her superb poisoning and medical skills, her endless resourcefulness, and her unyielding love. His life experience and ups and downs in love have made countless readers sigh with regret, and Hu Long in his previous life is one of them.
He instantly suppressed all the emotions that flashed through his heart, raised his hands to Cheng Lingsu and said with a smile: "Miss Cheng can be named after the two major medical classics "Lingshu" and "Suwen". I think the way of Lai Qihuang has been passed down by Senior Medicine King. I am disrespectful."
Hearing the other party casually tell the origin of his name, and that he admired his medical skills rather than his master's poisonous techniques that made everyone talk about it, Cheng Lingsu's bright eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.
