Xiang Yan was still in a very depressed mood until he went to bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. Wei Xiaobao said: "Xiao Yan, what's the matter with you? Why do you keep tossing and turning and not sleeping?" Xiang Yan sighed: "I've become familiar with ordinary characters today, so I specially opened the old eunuch's medicine box. I wanted to find the antidote. But I rummaged through the medicine box for a long time and still couldn’t find the antidote. Alas!”
Wei Xiaobao said: "Didn't you say before that you planned to learn medicine and then detoxify yourself?" Xiang Yan said: "That's just a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor. Besides, it's not like you don't accept the medical books that Dr. Li asked us to memorize." You know, how can it be so easy to learn medicine?" Wei Xiaobao asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"
I'd better tell Wei Xiaobao directly! Wei Xiaobao is a very smart person, and I may not be able to hide my thoughts from him. Being secretive may easily arouse his disgust. Xiang Yan asked Wei Xiaobao in return: "Xiaobao, we live in the palace. We may be in danger for a long time. What are your plans?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "I came from Yangzhou, and I plan to go back to Yangzhou to find my mother. It's just that the distance from Beijing to Yangzhou is no less than a thousand miles, so I'm a little timid about going on the road alone." Xiang Yan said: "I have no choice now. I can Can't I follow you to Yangzhou to join my aunt, and then ask my aunt to help me hire a doctor to detoxify me?" Wei Xiaobao said: "My mother is from a brothel, are you willing to work as a servant in a brothel?" Xiang Yan said: "Yes. Okay! It’s better than living on the street as a beggar!”
Wei Xiaobao asked curiously: "Didn't I give you a thousand taels of silver notes? You spent it all so quickly?" Xiang Yan said: "For a half-year-old child like me to hold a thousand taels of silver notes, Aren't you waiting to be robbed? When I get to Yangzhou, I have to ask my aunt to help me change the bank notes into broken silver." Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay. Since you are willing to go back to Yangzhou with me, then we might as well become sworn brothers and have good luck together in the future. Enjoy it and bear the same burden." Xiang Yan was determined and said with a smile, "Okay."
Wei Xiaobao may have some shortcomings, but he is very loyal and cares about his friends. All the people who were sworn friends with him in the original work have benefited more or less from him. After I became sworn friends with him, and having him take care of me, my hope of detoxification increased.
Wei Xiaobao got up from the bed, found incense and candles from nowhere, and asked for a roast chicken from the imperial kitchen, and made a formal sworn statement to Xiang Yan. Wei Xiaobao is older, so Xiang Yan considers Wei Xiaobao his brother.
Xiang Yan said: "Brother, when do you think we will go back to Yangzhou to find my aunt?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I am always a little timid when we just go on the road. Let's wait for three days, and I will use three days to go outside. Let’s see if we can find Brother Mao. If we can find Brother Mao, let Brother Mao take us back; if we can’t find Brother Mao, then we will leave in three days.”
Xiang Yan, who was anxious to detoxify, was quite dissatisfied with Wei Xiaobao's delay, but this matter could only be requested, not coerced - not to mention that Wei Xiaobao might not be able to be coerced. Furthermore, Wei Xiaobao's reason was also very reasonable. It would have been much safer along the way if Mao Shiba was escorting him.
When he climbed into bed again and went to sleep, Xiang Yan glanced at Wei Xiaobao guiltily. If it weren't for Xiang Yan, Wei Xiaobao would definitely not have returned to Yangzhou so quickly, and Wei Xiaobao certainly didn't know what he would lose by returning to Yangzhou at this time. Thinking that Wei Xiaobao's seven beautiful wives and tens of millions of taels of silver were wasted in this way, Xiang Yan's conscience was really uneasy.
Ever since Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan discovered Kang Xi's identity, Kang Xi no longer fought with Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan, but often took them to the study to read with them. The guards and eunuchs in the palace all knew that Xiao Guizi, the deputy chief eunuch, and Xiao Xiangzi, the young eunuch, were the popular people in front of the emperor. When they saw them, no one dared to call them "Xiao Guizi" or "Xiao Xiangzi" ", they are both the elder of Gui Gonggong and short of Xiang Gonggong, and they are called respectful and affectionate.
On this day, after serving Kangxi in the study, Wei Xiaobao went out of the palace to look for Mao Shiba, while Xiang Yan came to Taiyuan Hospital. Doctor Li was surprised when he saw Xiang Yan. He picked up a few more books and handed them to Xiang Yan and said, "Eunuch Xiang, how quickly did you memorize those books? Eunuch Xiang, you are so smart. I didn't I've been memorizing it for a long time. There are several medical books here. You have to memorize them. Come to me when you know them by heart." Xiang Yan couldn't laugh or cry. He took the medical books and said: "Mr. Li, I often hear people say that medicine and martial arts are not separated. Your medical skills are so high, have you ever learned any magical skills?"
"The Xuanming Divine Palm that Zhang Wuji was hit by was much more serious than the poison he was poisoned by, but Zhang Wuji detoxified himself after getting a copy of the "Nine Suns Manual". If there was a copy of "Nine Suns" There is no reason why the poison on my body cannot be detoxified by magic power at the level of the "Sutra", Xiang Yan comforted himself in his heart.
Doctor Li said seriously: "No, Eunuch Xiang, don't listen to the nonsense of those storytellers on the street. Medicine is medicine and martial arts is martial arts, how can they be confused?" Xiang Yan did not give up and asked again: "But doctors need to be in constant contact with patients. What should I do if evil enters the body?" Poisoning can probably be regarded as external evil entering the body!
Doctor Li suddenly realized it, took another book from the table, handed it to Xiang Yan, and said, "This is what Xiang Yan is talking about! This is the 'Five Animal Opera' handed down by Hua Tuo himself. It is different from the abridged versions outside. If you practice this to an extreme level, you can not only strengthen your body and expel external evil, but also prolong your life. Even living a hundred years is not a dream. However, this cannot be used for fighting. No matter how well you practice, you may not be able to beat a strong man."
