After walking out of the house, Huo Yi walked straight through a small door and came to a darker courtyard.
The yard is very small, and the decoration is very crude.
This small door seems to be an invisible dividing line, dividing this courtyard from the entire house.
There was a simple mud wall around the yard. A very ugly-looking plum blossom tree with a crooked neck was planted in the yard. It was probably that no one was taking care of it, because the branches stretched out of the fence.
There is also an old bamboo deck chair in the courtyard, with several bamboo sticks missing from it.
There is a small well next to the lounge chair, and there is a bucket at the mouth of the well. Half of the water in the bucket has turned into a thick bucket of ice.
Huo Yi straightened his wrinkle-free clothes, took out a bronze mirror from his pocket and looked at his appearance. After confirming that there were no flaws, he walked into the courtyard.
"Butler Huo Shan, are you here?" Huo Yi walked to the wooden fence in front of the courtyard and shouted cautiously.
When no one answered, Huo Yi didn't dare to move around, so he just stood outside and waited with a warm smile on his face.
After a while, the door of the simple wooden house in the courtyard slowly opened, and a well-proportioned middle-aged man walked out of it.
The man had a goatee around his mouth, and his face was neither sad nor happy, as if it were a pool of stagnant water that would remain unchanged for thousands of years.
He was wearing a pair of coarse clothes, and he didn't feel cold at all even when walking in the ice and snow.
"What are you doing here, Second Young Master? Did you find some kind of charlatan?" the middle-aged man asked with a slightly displeased look on his face.
Huo Yi said respectfully, "This time I specially invited a miracle doctor from Fenghuang Ancient City. He has cured countless patients. I believe he will be able to cure my father's disease this time too!"
Huo Shan glanced at him coldly and said, "I have been researching for so long and finally discovered one thing. That is, your father is not sick, but someone has used powerful cultivation to forcibly block all the senses. , the only solution for now is to find a warrior who is more powerful than the insidious villain who did all this to break the blockade, and no bullshit miracle doctor will be of any use."
"That's not possible!"
A cold voice came from outside the yard. Huo Yi followed the sound and saw Huo Jia leading Liao Meng and his group of people walking slowly. Liao Meng walked straight to Huo Shan. Those words were exactly what he said just now.
"Why did you bring outsiders into the Huo family?" Huo Yi looked at Huo Jia displeased and said, "Not just any cat or dog can come into our Huo family."
Huo Jia snorted coldly, "What? Aren't those charlatans you brought back last time cats and dogs? Besides, among the people I brought back this time, there are eminent monks from Mount Putuo. Isn't it possible that even you from Mount Putuo Don’t even take it seriously!”
Only then did Huo Yi notice Xu Yue, who was wearing tattered monk clothes, and said hurriedly, "No, no, I have always been in awe of Buddhism, especially Mount Putuo. I bathe and fast every year, and sincerely worship Buddha."
Xu Yue laughed and said nonchalantly, "If the donor is so sincere, he will surely be able to achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha as soon as possible."
Huo Yi laughed along and said nothing more.
"Taoist priests, monks, when will Buddhism and Taoism come together?" Huo Shan said to himself in confusion.
At this time, Meng said, "I thought that although the doctor
Although you may not be good at martial arts, you can still possess overwhelming power. "
Huo Shan looked at the young man standing in front of him curiously, and found that the young man's aura was extremely deep. For a moment, he could not tell the depth at all, so he asked, "I would like to hear the details."
Liao Meng said in a deep voice, "I heard that many years ago, there was a man called a ghost doctor in the martial arts world. His cultivation was extremely weird, and his medical skills were extraordinary. However, he had a weird temperament and was often irritable. Can people who come here to seek medical treatment be able to Whether or not he is healed depends on his mood.
Then one day, a golden light suddenly appeared in the place where he was, and countless warriors went to check it out. Some people claimed that a valuable treasure had been born, and finally several sects went hand in hand to suppress him on unfounded charges..."
"I have also heard about this. It is said that the ghost doctor did some taboo things, which even attracted heavenly punishment. Fortunately, the sects arrived in time, caught him, and executed him in public as a warning. Follow your example." Huo Shan nodded and said.
Huo Jia and Huo Yi on the side couldn't help but be fascinated and fascinated while listening to this martial arts secret from many years ago.
Liao Meng shook his head and said, "This matter is not that simple. Those sects did think that a valuable treasure was born at first and wanted to seize it, but they were killed by the ghost doctor using a combination of various herbs and poisonous flowers. It was all over the place, but in the end it took the action of several top experts to subdue the ghost doctor. As for what the ghost doctor did was too taboo, the Tianxian Pavilion suppressed the matter and only spread it among some high-level sects."
At this time, Xu Yue on the side said again, "I heard that after the Ghost Doctor was captured, a master came to the rescue and used strange means to summon an extremely huge flower, which destroyed the entire Ghost Doctor Valley. , the killing was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
When Huo Shan heard this, his thoughts surged.
And Huo Jia and Huo Yi were even more interested.
Originally, they all thought that those doctors were powerless people, but they did not expect from Meng Xuyue that doctors could actually have the ability to fight against several sects and countless strong men with the power of one person. Powerful.
Turning your hands turns into clouds, turning your hands turns into rain, almost like an immortal!
“Herbs all originate from the endless changes in the great ways of heaven and earth, and contain endless spiritual energy.
Between the combination of herbs and the collision of spiritual energy, there is a response from the great road, the power of heaven and earth! "
The faceless miraculous doctor and his apprentice also came over. The miraculous doctor's deep and hoarse voice made everyone present tremble.
Huo Yi hurriedly walked up to the miracle doctor and said, "Miracle doctor, why are you here? It's... it's not convenient to talk here. I haven't discussed it with the housekeeper Huo Shan yet! Why don't you go back and rest first, and wait... …”
"No, I have something to do tomorrow. If it's not convenient for you to diagnose and treat me right now, I'll leave first." The miracle doctor said in a calm tone.
Huo Yi said hurriedly, "Miracle doctor, don't leave. I will discuss it with Butler Huo Shan right away. I will leave my father's illness to you, and we, the Huo family, will rely on you to save him..."
Huo Shan and Huo Jia on the side couldn't help but frowned when they saw this scene. It was obvious that Huo Yi's performance made them very contemptuous.
At this time, Huo Shan suddenly said, "You distinguished guests have been coming to my Huo family for so long, and I still haven't asked for your names..."
Huo Shan's sharp eyes like a falcon scanned everyone's faces one by one. As the guardian of the Huo family, he must drive all dangers away.
Xu Yue immediately reported his name, "The poor monk came from Putuo Mountain in Jingzhou. Now he has traveled all over the world. He saw signs of evildoers causing trouble here, so he tracked him down. As for this Taoist friend who has made a dream, he is a good friend of mine. .”
Huo Shan raised his eyebrows, looked at Meng and said, "Are you a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain?"
Huo Jia on the side said immediately, "He is not from Qingcheng Mountain."
After a moment of silence, Liao Meng said, "It used to be."
Huo Shan suddenly narrowed his eyes. Generally speaking, the sect would only expel a disciple from the sect unless he committed a crime such as deceiving his master, destroying his ancestors, or deviating from the sect. Such a thing would be difficult for a veteran like Qingcheng Mountain. Top sects will also choose to keep it secret for the sake of the sect's reputation.
But the young man in front of him, who looked pretty and handsome, didn't look like someone who could do such a thing.
Xu Yue stood up again at this time and said, "I can guarantee for Fellow Taoist Meng that I can trust his character and he will definitely not be a bad person."
Huo Shan looked a little surprised and said, "You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts. Do you just believe him that much?"
Xu Yue muttered, "Amitabha, monks don't lie."
Huo Jia also said in a deep voice at this time, "These people are here because of me and want to treat my old man. Please rest assured, housekeeper, if something goes wrong with them, I am willing to take responsibility."
When Huo Yi heard this, he quickly stood up and said, "I am also willing to vouch for the miracle doctor. He will definitely be fine."
At this time, Huo Shan looked at the miracle doctor brought by Huo Yi with suspicion.
"Your Excellency has been in our Huo family for so long, and you still don't want to show your true colors?"
Huo Yi smiled awkwardly and tried to explain, "The miracle doctor may have something to hide! But he is definitely not a bad person."
Huo Shan looked at the two so-called miraculous doctors and apprentices. Their bodies were covered tightly in loose black robes, and nothing could be seen. Their faces were also hidden in the darkness, giving people a mysterious and dangerous feeling.
Huo Shan sensed carefully and found that there was no aura on the two of them, as if they were just ordinary people. He asked again, "Can you tell me your names?"
Both of them were silent.
Huo Shan asked again, "You two seem to have no aura of cultivation at all. It's freezing cold and you are wearing thin robes. Aren't you cold?"
After being silent for a moment, the miracle doctor said with some displeasure, "The methods of doctors are naturally beyond the comprehension of outsiders like you. There are hundreds of kinds of medicinal herbs and poisonous insects in the world that can help ordinary people resist the cold. In addition, there are thousands of formulas for elixirs. . I can name ten ways casually. If you don’t want me to treat your old man, I’ll just leave.”
As soon as Huo Yi heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Butler Huo Shan, I want to save the old man. You said it took so much trouble for me to invite the miracle doctor here. Don't destroy this last bit of hope. .”
The existence of this miracle doctor is related to whether he can take the opportunity to ascend to the position of the head of the family and inherit the great cause of the family property. If the miracle doctor leaves, then he can only wait for the old man to die and then compete with Huo Jia.
However, Huo Jia is the eldest son after all. He, the younger brother, is born shorter than others. There are also a majority of people in the family who support Huo Jia. If there is competition, he has a greater chance of losing.
Therefore, this time the old man is seriously ill and this is almost his only chance to turn over! ! !
