Cuihua Mountain's ancient trees are towering and their branches are tangled. On the mountain path a mile away from the Li family's motorcade, a fierce killing sound suddenly sounded. More than a dozen green-clad swordsmen were fighting five dead men of the Li family. During the battle, they were highly skilled in martial arts and used ruthless attacks. Some devout Buddhist believers around them saw the flashing swords and murderous intent. They were frightened and ran away to avoid becoming the dead souls of the swordsman in green.
A pilgrim saw the last dead soldier of the Li family retreating towards him with scars. His eyes were full of murderous intent. The sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the silver sword light flashed across the sky. The dead soldier actually let him stab him. Cut into two pieces at the waist, the dead man screamed "Second Young Master", and his upper body separated from his lower body like a chopped tree, falling to the middle of the path. He took one last look at the young boy lying in the middle, and then Close it slowly.
The young boy was Li Shimin, who was angry with his mother. He was lying on the ground at this time, with a crossbow arrow sticking out of his chest. His face was already black and blue. It was obvious that he had been poisoned, and his frightened eyes were also Gradually became confused.
Directly in front of Li Shimin, a man in black robe wearing a black hood glanced around. Seeing that the situation had been controlled and the real pilgrims had been dispersed, he squatted in front of Li Shimin, who was breathing rapidly. Seeing that he was not dead yet, he felt great in his heart. Surprised, he asked casually with a hoarse voice: "Li Shimin, the 'employer' said that you are young, smart and resourceful, and resolute and decisive when facing critical events. You cannot be judged by your age." Let me ask you now: What other last wishes do you have? "
Li Shimin's eyes moved, a look of deep reluctance appeared on his face, and the conversation between his mother and him not long ago echoed in his mind.
"Mom, my brother's name is Jiancheng, why am I not called Jianmin, but Shimin?"
"Erlang, when you were four years old, there was a scholar who claimed to be good at reading faces and said to you, "You are a noble man and you have a noble son." When he saw you, he said, "This son has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun and the moon. When he is twenty years old, he will definitely be able to help the world and bring peace to the people." You, Aye, were afraid that the scholar's words would be leaked, so you killed him, but you adopted " The meaning of "helping the world and bringing peace to the people" is used as your name. "
"Auntie, can a child really "help the world and bring peace to the people"? "
"It must be possible!" Mrs. Dou sighed and said in a solemn tone: "Mom has a huge blood debt that she wants to recover. I just regret that I am not a man and can't recover it, and you, Aye, Axiong and the others... Lacking the decisiveness and courage to do big things, I can only rely on Erlang."
"What blood debt?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"Now, you just need to work hard to learn martial arts. When the time comes, my mother will tell you."
"Okay! It's settled."
"It's a deal."
Seeing Li Shimin's expression changing like an adult, the man in black robe asked curiously, "No?"
Li Shimin didn't answer and asked instead: "Who are you? Why do you want to murder a child like me?"
"I can't say this!" The man in black robe paused and then said: "After listening to your words, I finally understand why the "employer" wants to kill you. Since you understand everything, then if you have any last wishes, I Maybe it will be presented. "
Li Shimin had run out of oil, and black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the sky that was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and whispered intermittently: "I, my last wish is twofold: one cannot bring peace and prosperity to the country, and two cannot be completed." , fulfill mother’s wish.”
"Boom!" Suddenly there were several thunders in the sky, and there was even more secret joy above the dark clouds. The man in black robe focused his eyes and raised his head slightly. Drops of rain as big as beans immediately hit the hood, and then heavy rain fell from the sky. , the man in black robe lowered his head and glanced at Li Shimin, only to see that he had died with his empty eyes open.
"Every time a famous official, general, hero, king, or sage dies, something strange always appears." In the heavy rain, the man in black robe said with deep feeling: "I finally understand why the big leader must kill him. This son is like a hidden man." Like a dragon, once it rises into the sky, it will definitely cause unimaginable trouble."
The "Pilgrim" next to him was also surprised by the sudden change in the sky. He nodded, looked towards the northeast of Daxing City, and said with great reverence: "In the face of the big leader, the flying dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to be coiled." You have to lie down, it’s just a little hidden dragon, what does it mean?”
"Well said." The man in black robe praised,
I saw other people gathering too. Then he said: "This heavy rain came just in time and can hide our whereabouts very well. Let's go."
Everyone didn't talk nonsense and fled into the forest one after another.
When Li Jiancheng hurriedly brought the dead soldiers to look for Li Shimin because of the sudden heavy rain, he was greeted by six corpses. Looking at Li Shimin who died on the ground, he first fell off his horse in shock, and then, he There was an inexplicable and indescribable feeling that arose spontaneously. It was as if there was an invisible and heavy shackle deep in his soul, which suddenly disappeared out of thin air, making him feel refreshed.
. . . . . .
When the assassins took action and the sky changed, Li Xuanba's temporary "operating table" was moved from the grass to a large carriage. At the same time as Li Shimin died, Dou's body suddenly disappeared as he knelt down and watched. She started to tremble, her heart seemed to be torn apart and the pain was immense.
Li Xiuning quickly supported her mother, but seeing Sun Simiao and Xie Hong's full attention, she did not dare to make a sound.
Apart from the sound of raindrops hitting the roof and walls of the car, the only sound inside the car was the sound of sharp knives cutting flesh. After a long time, Sun Simiao, who was dripping with sweat, slowly exhaled and placed the sharp knife on the small table next to him. Xie Hong waited until the black blood flowed out, and immediately used medicinal powder to stop the normal blood flow.
"Mr. Sun..." Mrs. Dou couldn't bear the silent pressure and the sudden pain. Seeing that the last abscess was cut, she asked in a low voice with a trembling voice: "But I wonder how the child is doing? He ,Is he okay?"
"This method is very successful." Sun Simiao stared at Li Xuanba without blinking and said in a weak tone.
Mrs. Dou said happily: "Does this mean that the child is okay? Can he play like a normal child in the future?"
Sun Simiao said in a deep voice: "Don't be too happy. Your son is not suffering from one kind of disease, but many kinds. The most deadly among them is poison. In addition to the poisons that are inflicted in the mother's body, there are also strong tonics and powerful medicines. Although powerful tonics can prolong life, "medicines are three-part poisons." When multiple types of medicines and poisons are mixed together, they become a very delicately balanced poison. "
"However, all the poisons have been excreted by now. Even if there are still some, they are no longer fatal. But after all, your son is frail and young, and after such a long time, the poisons have already spread in his body. It may be possible in the future It will affect his future growth."
Mrs. Dou was stunned, and tears rolled down her eyes again. Looking at her thin son sitting on the couch, her heart felt like a knife twisting her heart.
When Sun Simiao saw that Xie Hong had finished his work, he immediately took Li Xuanba's pulse. After a while, he withdrew his hand and said to Mr. Dou in a relaxed tone: "Congratulations, madam. After this incision, your son's pulse is the same as before." , it has not caused symptoms such as insufficient Qi and blood. As long as it is adjusted slowly, it will be like other children. The worries I just mentioned no longer exist."
Mrs. Dou was overjoyed when she heard this, and her heart was filled with light. She said very gratefully, "Mr. Sun and Taoist priest Xie have allowed the child to be reborn and regain a new life. This kindness and love are no different than..."
It is tantamount to giving her a son.
However, this statement was full of ambiguity, so he took it back in time.
Sun Simiao said nonchalantly: "Later, I will write prescriptions for detoxification, conditioning, and replenishing qi and blood to my wife. As long as he takes the medicine on time, the toxins in the son's body will disappear in ten days or one month. By then, If you follow the prescription to replenish your qi and blood, within a year, your son will be no different from other children."
Mr. Dou cried with joy. He suddenly thought of something and asked nervously: "Mr. Sun, are the required herbs very difficult to find?" Then he explained hurriedly: "It's not that we are reluctant to part with it, but that we are afraid of not finding it. "
Sun Simiao smiled slightly and said quite proudly: "Mrs. Haojiao learned that the herbs used in all my prescriptions are different from those of other doctors. None of them are expensive and hard to find. They can be found all over the mountains and plains. Even if some of the prescriptions are The seeds must use expensive and hard-to-find things, so I replaced them one by one with ordinary plants. The effect is no less than expensive and hard-to-find things."
Before Sun Simiao studied medicine, he spent all his money treating himself, and from then on he determined to practice medicine; when Sun Simiao
After learning superb medical skills, I saw that many poor people, like myself, could not afford expensive medicines, so they simply imitated Shennong and tasted herbs, studied the properties of medicines, and finally replaced them one by one with cheap herbs with equivalent effects. Expensive and hard to find herbs. This enables the common people to afford medicine and cure their diseases.
However, as his research deepened, Sun Simiao felt more and more that his medical knowledge was endless and his own abilities were inadequate. While he felt more and more in awe of nature and life, his "addiction" to medicine also It became bigger and bigger, until now it is impossible to extricate itself.
While Sun Simiao was talking to Mr. Dou, Xie Hong glanced at Mr. Dou and was suddenly stunned. An incredible expression appeared on his face. He pinched his fingers and quickly calculated something while muttering to himself. Said: "It shouldn't be, this is not reasonable."
"Brother Xie, what's wrong with you?" Xie Hong's strange behavior attracted the attention of Sun Simiao opposite, and he asked in a low voice.
Xie Hong's calculations failed, and he said to Sun Simiao with a solemn expression: "Brother Sun, look at Mrs. Li's face. Why do I suddenly feel that my divination skills have failed?"
Sun Simiao, Dou Shi, and Li Xiuning in the car were stunned when they heard this. Sun Simiao glanced at Dou Shi, and his expression changed drastically.
Sun Simiao, like Xie Hong, was also good at medicine. Although he was best at medicine and health care, as one of the outstanding figures in Taoism, he also knew some divination and Taoism. The latter two were not as good as Xie Hong, Zhang Qiu Taiyi, and Yuan Shoucheng. Others, but also surpassed many first-class physiognomists.
From Dou's face, we can see that she has clear facial features, full of energy, clear eyes, and a clear mind; the three stops are also precious and indescribable. However, as if suddenly, her eyebrows became misty and unclear, and her middle part became even darker, as if she had lost her son.
Dou's original noble appearance has become very blurred, and he no longer has the luster and trend before.
"Mr. Sun, Taoist Master Xie, what are you...?" Mrs. Dou was relatively unfamiliar with Sun Simiao, but she had heard of Xie Hong's name for a long time and knew that this man was a Taoist priest with superb Taoist and medical skills, no less than Zhangqiu Taiyi. Although she didn't know them both, after the "surgery" just now, Li Xuanba's breathing became normal and his skin became normal rosy. In his sleep, Li Xuanba was very peaceful and slept better than ever. , which also made her no longer doubt the identity of the two people.
At this time, when the two of them saw their faces, their expressions changed drastically, their hearts were in a state of trembling, and their expressions began to become nervous.
"Mrs. Li, please forgive me for speaking bluntly..." Xie Hong was silent, silently considering how to speak.
Mr. Dou said anxiously: "Master Xie has something to say, but please say it directly."
"Mrs. Li was originally a dragon and a tiger, with an extraordinary and precious appearance. This dragon and tiger should belong to all the young masters, but Madam Li's appearance at this time is dark clouds covering the dragon, the blood and energy are scattered, and the Yintang is even more gloomy. There is a sign of losing a son." Xie Hong frowned, looked at Li Xuanba who was breathing evenly, and said slowly: "My son was originally expected to die young, but now that Yintang is in full glory, the fate of his fate is unexpectedly... It disappeared, which shows that people are not as good as God, and good luck has its own destiny. The old Taoist dares to say that as long as your son is upright and peaceful, he will be rich and noble."
After glancing at Mr. Dou, Xie Hong continued: "As long as you take the medicine properly, you will have no worries. The problem now is that my wife looks like she has lost her son."
When Li Xiuning heard this, he was furious: "Taoist, don't be alarmist or talk nonsense; you..."
Mrs. Dou waved her daughter to stop, and said to Xie Hong, "Thank you so much, Taoist Priest, for your concern, but I never believe in fate, and even if there is a disaster, isn't it true that the child will turn the disaster into a good one?"
"It's true. Some people's fate will change due to people and situations. No one can predict future changes until the last moment." Xie Hong also knows that some people's fate will change due to certain opportunities or certain people. was reversed, so not only did he not feel dissatisfied with Dou's words, but he nodded with approval, and then he said: "But there are some things that you would rather believe than trust them. Take preventive measures in time, and always That’s right. This way, at least you won’t regret it.”
"That's right!" Sun Simiao was convinced and said to Mr. Dou: "Madam, this place is Yin and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. You should get there early."
It is better to leave. "
He also saw that the other party did not believe in the art of divination, so he wrote a few prescriptions, then said goodbye to Xie Hong and got out of the car. They put on their raincoats, called Xie Yingdeng, who had been waiting for a long time, and left.
Dou didn't really believe in divination and Taoism, but she was intimidated by the names of Sun Simiao and Xie Hong, and they also had good intentions and good words. She didn't want to refuse. After thinking for a while, she decided to brave the rain. Forward.
At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves, and Li Jiancheng's panicked voice came from outside: "Auntie, Shimin was killed by a female gangster one mile ahead and has already died."
Madam Dou was immediately furious, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and her vision went dark.
