"Brother, be careful!"
After the reminder came from nowhere, Lin Wen reacted, but the movements of his hands were already half a beat slower.
Everyone in Iron Bone Village stared in horror, as if their boss would be seriously wounded in the next moment.
Lin Pan felt as if a thousand kilograms of cold iron had been poured into his feet, and he shouted in his heart: "Ah, those remnants didn't leave!"
Just when Lin Pan thought he was doomed this time, a figure suddenly rushed out of the diagonal stab and reached out to grab the hilt of the sword at the critical moment.
"hiss--"
Looking at the sharp sword tip less than an inch away from his forehead, Lin Pan was so frightened that he quickly backed away.
"Brother! Are you okay?"
Lin Wen's hand that had already been stretched out helped Lin Pan, and then he had the opportunity to turn his attention to the rescuer.
"Master Mu Qing?"
Lin Wen looked at Mu Qing in surprise and said, "Mr. Mu Qing, was it you who issued the reminder just now? But we met some powerful imperial criminal."
Mu Qing laughed in his heart, when did Shaoyao's disciples become prisoners of the imperial court.
His face was stern, and he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice: "He is not a powerful imperial criminal."
Looking at the people in the Iron Bone Village who had received his emotions, Mu Qing said angrily: "I don't know how you guys in the Iron Bone Village guarded a prisoner with damaged meridians, and actually gave him the opportunity to come here and cause trouble. I I almost got hit by the other party just now.”
"prisoner?"
Lin Pan reacted, "Mr. Mu Qing, are you talking about that old man Cao Baiji?"
In fact, no one knows that "Cao Baiji" is just a pseudonym for Cao Mo.
Mu Qing nodded, "Yes, but when I just bumped into him, he already had a young look."
Lin Wen had doubts in his heart and asked hesitantly: "Master, forgive me for the offence, could it be someone else? How could you conclude that the person you met is Cao Baiji?"
Mu Qingjian raised his eyebrows and recalled with disgust: "When I bumped into him, he happened to be grabbing a person and biting his neck to suck the blood. His appearance began to look younger at a speed visible to the naked eye."
Lin Wen looked frightened and said, "Is this happening?"
Mu Qing raised his chin and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that when I met Cao Baiji, he had already sucked more than one person. I fought with him and found that his internal energy was very mixed. If it hadn't been for him at that time, If my energy and blood are not stable, I am afraid that I will already be at a disadvantage."
As Mu Qing spoke, he spread out his palms. Everyone looked away and saw that there were bruises and bruises on his palms. It was indeed a scar.
Lin Pan's face was palpitating. He looked at the black sword in Mu Qing's hand and believed it for a moment.
"Big brother and second brother are not good, something happened!"
The mood of everyone here has not yet calmed down, and the voice that foreshadowed the bad news pierced through the forest.
Lin Pan and the others followed the sound and saw Lin Zhen and the others running closer with one person on their backs.
Lin Wen realized that he didn't know the person on Lin Zhen's back, and he scolded angrily: "What made you so fussy? Don't you know that the enemy is hiding us and revealing it?"
Lin Zhen's words that came out of his mouth were blocked. He tilted his head back and explained the identity of the man on his back: "This man is the arrogant eldest brother, and he has been poisoned now."
Lin Wen was shocked. Isn't Geng Jie's eldest brother the "Obsidian Sword Maniac" whom people in the world nicknamed him?
When did Tianshou's second gear become so fragile?
He and Lin Pan looked at each other. The brothers in Iron Bone Village might not know the identity of the person who was working with them today, but he and his eldest brother knew it clearly.
I didn't expect that a person with such status would be found here.
Lin Pan asked quickly: "Eighth brother, please tell me carefully what's going on?"
Lin Zhen replied: "Brother, I actually don't know much. Our team was originally led by Geng Jie to surround the escaped imperial convicts. Unexpectedly, the man on my back suddenly rushed out and said that he was poisoned by someone. , and you absolutely can’t believe who he said poisoned him?”
Lin Wenfu reached his heart, and his eyes flashed, "Is it Cao Baji?"
Lin Zhen said in amazement: "Second brother, how did you know?"
"well……"
Lin Pan sighed.
After a moment of silence, he looked around at everyone present and said loudly: "This dense forest is always full of weirdness, with murderous intentions lurking everywhere. Let's evacuate this place temporarily."
"I second the motion!"
"Listen to big brother."
The real "weird" took the initiative to become invisible at this time. He silently watched the performance of everyone present, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at Geng Jian's green grimace.
"It turns out that this person is the eldest brother of Geng Jie. I guess they are all official thugs. I don't know why Shaoyao and his disciples got entangled with each other..."
"When we get back to the village, they will definitely ask me to treat this person. Then I can give him a delayed prescription and then run away with Miss Wei Rui and the others."
Mu Qing was thinking about the current situation in his mind. He didn't know the specific identities of Geng Jie and the others yet, so it was difficult to do many things in a targeted manner.
Mu Qing just noticed the subtle expressions between Lin Pan and Lin Wen when they looked at each other. He guessed that the other party knew the specific identities of Geng Jie and his party. He could find out the answer from them later, and also help Shaoyao's fellow disciples. Do understand.
"I don't know if they ran away..."
While Mu Qing was worried about Bai Jiahe and the two here, she and her senior brother Xu Zuo had followed their senior sister Ning Chu to find a very hidden cave.
Ning Chu looked at the layout around the cave and found that the marks left here had not been touched, so he greeted the two people behind him with confidence.
"Junior brother and sister, please come in and have a rest."
Bai Jiahe sat on a clean stone pier, looking towards the dense forest outside, still worried about his companions.
Ning Chu walked up to Bai Jiahe, handed her a pill that exuded the fragrance of grass and trees, and said: "Junior sister, your Qi Palace is damaged. After taking this repayment pill, you can use your luck to digest the medicine for seven weeks. No, Your situation will improve greatly in half a day."
Bai Jiahe shook his head and refused: "Sister, no need!"
Ning Chu didn't care so much and just threw it to Bai Jiahe, "Just take it if it's given to you. Are you meeting the senior sister?"
Bai Jiahe quickly took the Huanqing Pill with both hands and said sheepishly: "I heard from the master that the Huanqing Pill is a holy medicine for healing the Dantian Qi. Even if it is combined with the Wanhua Heart Sutra, only one pot of ten medicines can be produced. It is very precious. Senior sister, you’d better take it back.”
Ning Chu looked at Bai Jiahe's face that made her a little moved. She pinched Bai Jiahe's cheeks subconsciously and said with a smile, "Junior sister, please eat quickly. There are still some here."
"Although Master Uncle is right, after joining Hidden Valley from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley and becoming a lineage of pharmacists, Quan Mansion regularly sends many medicinal materials every ten days, and also sends some disciples with pharmacological talents to fill the gap. The outer sect specializes in refining medicine, so there aren’t many others in Wanhua Valley, but there are really a lot of pills!”
"Here, junior brother, please take this Asarum Bone Renewing Pill first. After you meditate and become quiet, I will activate the Wanhua Heart Sutra to heal your injuries."
"The Heart Sutra of Ten Thousand Flowers..."
Bai Jiahe read it.
Ning Chu said: "Junior sister, after you return to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and your name is written into the inheritance genealogy of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, you can practice the Heart Sutra of Ten Thousand Flowers."
Bai Jiahe's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a moment, he sighed: "Unfortunately, I am already twenty-one years old. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to practice the Wanhua Heart Sutra."
Ning Chu shook his head, "Uncle Master, didn't he tell you that the Ten Thousand Flowers Heart Sutra is a pure auxiliary internal skill and mental method. Although it is the most important inheritance of the master, it is actually incomplete."
"And as long as your name is recorded in the genealogy, you can practice at any time. There is no age limit for practicing."
"After practicing this mental method, in addition to its natural healing effect, whether you are practicing Sword Sutra or Shenfa, there will be an auxiliary blessing effect to get twice the result with half the effort. However, according to the master's speculation, with this mental method The supporting techniques are missing, which means there are no moves that can directly match the Wanhua Heart Sutra."
Bai Jiahe's eyes widened and he sighed softly: "The auxiliary effect is just like the Shiquan Dabu Pill?"
Ning Chu looked confused: "What?"
When she turned around, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Junior sister, our Wanhua Valley doesn't have those Shiquandabu pills. Those are just the words of charlatans. If the medicine has similar effects, there are no pills in Wanhua Valley." There is only one similar medicine, called Ten Thousand Flower Pills. Even if Youquan Mansion provides us with so many medicinal materials, we cannot refine many of these pills, because there are only two people in the entire valley who can refine them."
After Xu Zuo opened the pill, he had been silently resisting the burning and itching feeling at the broken sternum. In order to divert his attention, he asked: "Senior Sister, those two people are Uncle Valley Master and you. What?"
Ning Chu shook his head, walked behind Xu Zuo and sat cross-legged. While using the Wanhua Heart Sutra to relieve his discomfort, he smiled and said, "It's not me, it's the master and the junior sister."
Ning Chu spoke of his junior sister Shaoyao with the same doting expression as the master's embrace of the wind and flowers, "Junior sister Shaoyao is only eighteen years old and has already reached the sixth level of perfection in the Ten Thousand Flowers Heart Sutra. She, like the master, is the body of ten thousand flowers." .”
Xu Zuo felt the coolness and comfort brought by the Wanhua Heart Sutra, and said lightly: "The sixth level of perfection, isn't that the peak of fourth-level cultivation? She is only eighteen years old, and my junior sister is really a genius!"
In the eyes of practitioners in Taishi Continent, nine is the ultimate number. The Baicao Heart Sutra practiced by Xu Zuo also has nine levels, so it is not difficult for him to judge the true cultivation level of Shaoyao.
"I'm already in the fourth grade at the age of eighteen. I'm so bad..."
Bai Jiahe lowered his head and couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Ning Chu comforted him: "Junior sister, you and your junior brother are practicing the Sword Sutra, right? The Sword Sutra is inherently difficult, and you don't have the Ten Thousand Flowers Heart Sutra to help you practice like me, so there is no need to be discouraged."
After helping Xu Zuo completely digest the effects of the medicine, Ning Chu stood up, clapped his hands, and asked the two of them: "By the way, are you hungry? I remember that the resting places marked on the map have preserved dry food."
Bai Jiahe raised his slender eyebrows and said in surprise: "Senior sister, has this cave been marked by the sect?"
Ning Chu found a large bag of dry food wrapped in tung oil paper to prevent moisture from the pile of dry thatch piled inside the cave. After she divided the food between the two of them, she explained: "It can be regarded as the master's journey in the mountains. There are resting places that have been marked, but these plans are all done for us by the Hidden Valley Spring Mansion, so we in Wanhua Valley have enjoyed the advantage."
Xu Zuo chewed the dry food and asked: "Sister, I heard from the master that Wanhua Valley used to be independent of Hidden Valley. How did it become the lineage of Hidden Valley's pharmacists?"
Ning Chu glanced at Bai Jiahe, squinted his eyes and recalled his memories of his master's sect when he was a child.
She said without hesitation: "Uncle Shi went to the Imperial City to make offerings before the first year of Tianshou. Later, several division commanders in the valley died in the civil strife in Suzaku City in the first year of Tianshou. We only had After that, the master's lineage could be said to be alone. Surrounded by more than a dozen large and small forces, the situation was already in danger. Finally, in the sixth year of Tianshou, the master suddenly became the fourth elder of the Hidden Valley, and the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley became a logical place. The earth became a lineage of medicine men in Hidden Valley.”
Ning Chu talked about his master Huai Fenghua, his crescent-like eyes full of reverence, and said softly: "Later, the master broke through to the eighth level of the Wanhua Heart Sutra in one fell swoop, and the same was true for the "Aoki Sword Sutra". With the cooperation of others, her strength can already match that of a first-class warrior, so our Ten Thousand Flower Valley can still maintain a certain degree of independence in the Hidden Valley, and we can still call ourselves the 'Ten Thousand Flower Valley'."
Xu Zuo's tone was full of admiration, "Uncle Master Valley is so awesome!"
Bai Jiahe's eyes were full of yearning and admiration, "Uncle Master Valley is really a hero among women!"
Ning Chu was very impressed by the admiration of her master by her junior brothers and sisters. She gave each of them an extra pay-off pill for emergencies and asked with a smile: "Since the junior brothers and sisters also agree with our Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, Can you tell me, senior sister, what kind of situation you are facing now?"
