cold.
The pain was so cold that my bones felt cold.
Where is this, exactly where is it.
Suddenly, a girl's voice came from the horizon, slightly childish but full of anxiety: "Valley Master, Valley Master, wake up."
The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
Sweat flowed down his face, but his pajamas were already soaked on his back.
Kneeling beside the bed was a girl in pink clothes with buns in a bun. She looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her face still had the childish look of a girl. Seeing the person on the bed open his eyes, the girl let out a long breath.
"Sister Valley Master, you finally woke up. You scared me to death."
The woman on the bed was stunned for a long time. The candlelight in the room had been extinguished. The sky outside the window was gray and gray. A faint light shone into the room. The sky was already slightly bright, which actually made it difficult for her to see the person beside the bed. He took a long breath, supported his body on his elbows, and sat up with difficulty.
Her long black hair was disheveled, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her delicate face looked extremely pale.
"Yiyi, why is it you?"
Yiyi quickly took out the plain silk in her arms and gently wiped the sweat from the woman's forehead.
"The police came from the bottom of the mountain. Sister Qingyang said that there must be outsiders breaking into the valley. She went to have a look, but she was afraid that the owner of the valley would have nightmares again, so she called me here. Fortunately, I came," Gu Jianghe continued After passing the plain silk in Yiyi's hand, Yiyi quickly stood up, picked up the coat on the shelf beside the bed, and draped it on Gu Jianghe, "Sister Valley Master, your nightmare is getting more and more serious. What should we do?"
"Police quit smoking?" Gu Jianghe didn't care about Yiyi's worries at all, but he was slightly surprised by what she started to say. He turned to look out the window, "It's just spring, so someone came to seek medical treatment so early. ?”
Yaowang Valley is located in a remote area with steep mountains. There are many mechanisms to enter the valley, and the diagnosis fee is thousands of taels. If there is no way to seek help, people in the world will not easily choose to enter the valley.
"Yiyi, please ask someone to dress up with me." Gu Jianghe stood up, stood barefoot by the bed, looked out the window thoughtfully, and smiled faintly, "There are police tobacco cigarettes placed at the bottom of the mountain, which means that the person who came has broken through the poisonous Mi Lin, such a desperate person, let’s go meet him.”
***
The sky has become bright.
Although spring has just begun, the medicinal herbs grown in various medicinal gardens in Yaowang Valley have already sprouted, and with the morning breeze, bursts of medicinal fragrance float in the air.
Not far from various medicinal gardens, there is a pavilion about fifty steps wide, made of green bamboo. It is very spacious. It is filled with exquisite tea sets, tables and chairs, and various medicinal materials are dried around it.
A woman in green clothes entered the pavilion in a flash, and the strong wind behind her almost turned the herbs lying aside.
"Oh, Qingyang, slow down, you're about to knock over all my herbs." An angry voice came from the medicine garden next to the pavilion, and a woman in light-colored clothes emerged from the medicine garden, accompanied by Hearing the sound of running at a very fast speed, he suddenly stopped at the edge of the pavilion and looked into the pavilion with a surprised look on his face.
Qingyang threw the person he was leaning on on the bamboo chair with such force that he couldn't help but groan.
The person who was thrown onto the bamboo chair by Qingyang was actually a young man. He looked to be in his early twenties. He was handsome and elegant, with a face as pale as snow, a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and a trace of blood on his cheek. There were a few traces of blood, and he was slumped on the chair, covering his chest with his right hand, breathing heavily. The clothes on his body were actually stained with blood.
"No wonder I saw the police quitting flower when I was in the medicine garden just now. It turned out that someone broke into the valley." Jiuxia saw the person who was almost carried back by Qingyang and laughed, "Where did you pick him out? "
Qingyang shook his right arm and said with a grimace: "As we walked out of the poisonous miasma forest, he was entangled by poisonous ivy. It took me a lot of effort to get him out. It's really, it kills me. ”
"Do you need my help to help him in?" Jiuxia stepped forward and came to the young master. She raised her hand and grabbed the young master's pulse, with a trace of surprise on her face: "Can you bear it?" I've suffered serious internal injuries. I think this injury has been around for some time. How dare you break into the valley like this?"
The young master kept coughing and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I have no choice but to forgive you. Please lead the way and introduce me to the master of the Medicine King Valley."
"Although your internal injuries are not minor, a doctor with some reputation in the world should be able to handle it. Why risk going into the valley?"
A crisp shout sounded not far away, and a petite and brisk figure ran towards the pavilion.
"Sister Qingyang, sister Jiuxia." After a while, Yiyi appeared in the pavilion with a smile on her face, "The Valley Master is here."
Yiyi stepped aside, and a woman in a white gown came into the young man's eyes.
The woman looked to be no more than twenty-two or thirty years old. Her long black hair was tied up casually with a silver hairpin. As soon as you enter the pavilion, there is a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Valley Master."
"Valley Master."
Qingyang and Jiuxia saluted the woman who entered the pavilion at the same time.
"Yaowang Valley opens a consultation on the fifteenth day of every month. Today is not the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Can't you wait for ten days?" Gu Jianghe said calmly.
Nan Liluo was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the owner of Yaowang Valley was such a young woman, but he didn't care much about it. Regardless of the injuries on his body, he struggled to stand up from the chair and raised his hands. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply: "I understand the rules of Yaowang Valley. Except for the fifteenth day of every month, no consultations are allowed on the rest of the time. However, the patients at home really can't wait for ten days. As long as I can ask the owner of the Valley to advance, Take action, I am willing to agree to any conditions of Yaowang Valley."
Gu Jianghe did not answer Nan Liluo's words, but his eyes slowly swept over his right shoulder. Nan Liluo was wearing a plain dress without any decoration, but there was a nine-band flower tattooed on his shoulder.
"Qingyang, where did you get him out?" Gu Jianghe skipped Nanliluo and sat down on the bamboo chair next to him. As time went by, the sunlight suddenly became dazzling. At this time, the light shining on Gu Jianghe's unpainted face was so intense that it made people close their eyes.
"He broke through the five gates of life and death in the poisonous miasma forest, but was entangled by the poisonous ivy." Qingyang's eyes were also a little surprised. "His attainments in Qimen Dunjia are astonishing. Jiuxia had just fought with him After diagnosing his pulse, we found that he must have suffered serious internal injuries before breaking into the valley. If there were no internal injuries, even the thirty-six gates of life and death in the valley might not be able to trap him."
The woman on the bamboo chair looked indifferently and slowly glanced at the young man in front of her who was still bowing. The gown, which was originally without any decoration, was covered with torn cracks. The exposed skin in the cracks was actually covered with cloth. It was covered with wounds of various lengths, and the gown was also stained with blood, which was really shocking.
I don't know if it was because he kept the same posture for too long, but the young man's hands were trembling slightly, but in the woman's eyes, there was no wave.
"You already know the rules of Yaowang Valley, why do you think that Yaowang Valley will break this rule for you?" Gu Jianghe put his right hand on the table, stretched out his thin white fingers, and made a move, seemingly unintentionally. Without hesitation, he tapped the table with his fingertips. His fingertips touched the table and made a sound of "ta, da, da", one after another, "There are still ten days, just wait if you can, on the fifteenth day , bring the consultation fee, Yaowanggu will open a consultation on its own. As for whether to accept this patient," Gu Jianghe's lips curved in a vague arc, "It depends on your luck."
The woman on the bamboo chair slowly stood up and walked out of the pavilion, "Jiu Xia, detoxify him and let him go down the mountain."
"Valley Master, wait a minute." When Nan Liluo saw Gu Jianghe was about to leave, he stood up hurriedly and tried to stop her, but he never thought that it would go too far, tearing the wound on his chest, and a sharp pain hit him. His face became even paler, and large beads of sweat instantly dripped from his forehead. But at this time, he didn't care much. He could only press the wound on his chest with his hand to make himself speak a little smoother.
Qingyang's slender eyebrows also frowned slightly, and he stepped forward to stop Nan Liluo: "Why are you so ignorant?"
Nan Liluo really had no intention of talking to Qingyang, but hurriedly rushed to Gu Jianghe and said: "I know that it is not a gentleman to force others to make things difficult, but this time I really have to do it out of necessity. I have brought one hundred thousand taels of silver and some medicinal materials. Xiyanhua. All I want is for the Valley Master to take action."
The departure steps suddenly stopped.
Even Jiuxia was a little surprised and whispered: "You actually have Xiyanhua."
It is said that in Dongli, a neighboring country, there is an endless forest of lost traces. There is a cold pool deep in the jungle. The cold pool is bone-chilling and bottomless. But at the bottom of the cold pool, there is a kind of flower growing, called the sunset flower. I heard that the sunset flower The flowers are used as medicine to revive human flesh and bones. It is a rare medicinal material in the world. Over the years, countless people have gone to the Lost Forest to collect medicinal herbs, but almost never returned. It also doubled its value.
Gu Jianghe turned his head suddenly, standing with his backlight, making it difficult to see his face.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Under the sunlight, that smile was so cold.
"It seems that Yaowang Valley will make an exception for you today. Qingyang, go down the mountain and bring the patient into the valley."
"yes."
