"That being the case, I believe you have made your own decision." Nan Liyu knew Ranchen's temper, so he didn't say anything.
"Is there anything strange over there, Grand Master Wen?" Thinking of Wen Jirou, Ranchen became a little worried. When Grand Master Wen entered the city, he instinctively felt that there must be something unusual. If it was just for the city lord's ceremony, it wouldn't be easy. That's all, but Wen Jirou is a very deep man in the city, and now he has come with such a secret order. There is no clue what he wants to do.
"Don't worry, Taishi Wen. I've arranged for someone to keep an eye on him at all times. He hasn't done anything. He just burns incense and tastes wine these days. However, we have kept your illness a secret, and there will be no one in the house." Known.”
"Speaking of this," Ranchen seemed to have just come to his senses, "Why is Miss Gu here?"
Hearing this, Nan Liyu also said with some disbelief: "Speaking of this, I was also a little surprised. Li Luo originally went out of the city to find Dr. Su, but he returned not long after and brought Miss Gu back. He only heard He said he met him on the way out of the city. I will ask him about the details later."
"Okay." Ranchen nodded, but the mist between his brows had not dissipated since he woke up.
"But are you worried about the City Lord's Ceremony tomorrow?" Nan Liyu seemed to see through Ranchen's worries, "We have been preparing for the City Lord's Ceremony for a long time, there will be no mistakes, and Miss Gu said that your thoughts are not stopping, so you are afraid It can happen at any time. You have to take care of yourself."
Ranchen heard and said with a smile: "Li Yu, you are becoming more and more of a mother-in-law. Maybe I think too much."
"By the way," Nan Liyu thought of Wen Jirou's purpose of coming to Yunzhong City and said, "Many sects have come to Yunzhong City in the past few days, and they are all here to participate in the city master's ceremony tomorrow. I have sent people to check it out. Yes, no one from Tianma Temple came."
"It doesn't matter, the City Lord's Ceremony in Yunzhong City is just to open the door to welcome guests." Ranchen pondered for a while and said, "In that case, let's discuss the matter of Tianma Temple after the City Lord's Ceremony is over tomorrow."
"Okay, then you have a good rest."

There are jagged rocks in the bamboo garden. When you enter the top of Chunshan Mountain, there is a gray stone rockery. The color of the stone is close to earthy gray, covered with green moss and drooping green willows.
When it was getting dark, an old man with white beard entered the yard. He was wearing casual clothes and carrying a huge basket behind him, which was filled with herbs. He was very happy.
Just when the old man was about to pass by the rockery, suddenly, a figure jumped down from the rockery. Before the old man could react, an arm firmly locked the old man's throat.
The old man was startled, and his backpack fell to the ground with a plop.
"Smelly old man, why did you come back?" A complaining voice came from above.
After hearing the voice of the person coming, the old man pushed his elbow behind his back. The force was quite strong. When the person behind him said "Ouch", the arm at his throat immediately relaxed.
The old man immediately cursed angrily: "You stinky boy, you are neither big nor small. Are you tired of living?"
Nan Liluo rubbed his belly and said with a smile: "Our Doctor Su's hands are becoming more and more like those of young people."
Su Chengyan glanced at Nan Liluo and let out a disdainful "hum". The beard on his lips began to move in response to his hum. He squatted down to pick up the herbs that had just fallen to the ground and asked, "You bastard?" If you don't stay with me, why are you here with me?"
Nan Liluo squatted down and picked up the herbs that fell on the ground for Su Chengyan. He lowered his voice and said, "Young Master fell ill this morning."
"What?" Su Chengyan's expression changed, and the herbs he just picked up fell to the ground again, "It's such a big deal, why don't you go out of the city to look for me?"
"Don't panic," Nan Liluo held down Su Chengyan's hand, "I had already left the city to look for you, but on the way out of the city, I actually met Gu Guzhu of Yaowang Valley."
"The legendary Yaowang Valley where the living dead have flesh and bones?" Su Chengyan asked in surprise.
"That's right. I'm bringing Master Gu back. The young master has been settled by her. Don't worry. I'm afraid you'll be worried, so I'll keep you here and let you know."
"Although Yaowang Valley has existed in the world for nearly a hundred years, it is mysterious and unpredictable. Almost no one can find it. However, it has only begun to appear in the world in recent years, opening the valley for more people to consult. The last time you went there, I I'm already worried, but it's fine that you guys can enter Yaowang Valley smoothly, but now, the owner of Yaowang Valley will actually appear in Yunzhong City?" Su Chengyan touched his beard with his right hand and said slightly thoughtfully.
"She does seem to have some purpose in coming to Yunzhong City. Anyway, Valley Master Gu does seem to have a way to cure the young master's illness."
"Boy, can you introduce me to this Valley Master?" Su Chengyan suddenly stood up with a "wow" sound, which startled Nan Liluo. He immediately stood up and snickered: "Why, old man, you know that you If your skills are not as good as others, do you still want to show your shame?"
"Hmph," Su Chengyan rolled his eyes at Nan Liluo, "It is said that the Master of the Medicine King Valley is a genius with medical skills that many doctors may not be able to reach in their lifetime. Given this opportunity, I naturally want to humbly ask for advice."
"Hahahahahahaha, I didn't expect Old Man Su to be soft on a young woman. That's all. Although Gu Guzhu is a bit bad-mouthed, he probably won't be so mean to his elders. Come with me."
The two of them ignored the herbs scattered on the ground and walked all the way to the courtyard where Gu Jianghe and his party were staying.
Passing through the corridor, you can see lush green trees, brilliant flowers, flying towers on both sides, and carved and embroidered thresholds. At the end of the corridor, a figure was shaking.
"Miss Qingyang." Nan Liluo saw the figure clearly and called out, "Is Miss Gu here?"
She was drying the herbs that Jiuxia had just given her on the stone steps at the end of the corridor. When she heard the sound, Qingyang turned around and rolled her eyes. It was this fool again: "The girl went to see your young master and just left. You Go to your young master to find her."

When Gu Jianghe walked into the room, Ranchen, who had been lying weakly on the couch in the afternoon, had already stood up and sat on a black nanmu wheelchair. He changed into a dark blue satin robe, with black patterned cloud sleeves, waist and However, he did not wear a belt, and his clothes were loosely worn on his body. His knees were covered with a thick-looking blanket. The wheelchair stopped by the window, his eyes drifted out the window, but there was no focus. He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Although it's spring, the wind will do you no good." A faint voice came from behind Ranchen, pulling him back from his thoughts.
Ranchen turned the wheel of the wheelchair with his hands, turned himself half a circle easily, then faced Gu Jianghe and smiled lightly: "I didn't follow the doctor's instructions."
Gu Jianghe hesitated for a while, then walked to the window and closed it. The gauze curtain on the soft couch that fluttered from time to time due to the gentle night breeze slowly listened. The originally cool room seemed to be gradually getting warmer. stand up.
A few steps away from the desk in the room, there was a tea table with a tea set on it. However, the night was slightly cool and the tea in the teapot had already cooled down. Gu Jianghe didn't care about this at all. He sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea.
"I came over to see you. Do you feel better after taking medicine this afternoon?"
"I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern, girl."
Gu Jianghe put down the tea cup in his hand: "Cyperus rotundus is the painkiller I prepared for you when I was treating you in Yaowang Valley, but it can only relieve your pain. I told you that if you want to get rid of the poison, you will never get rid of it." Not easy.”
"I understand."
"Not to mention, your leg is injured."
Hearing this, Ranchen unconsciously touched his knees with his hands. His legs under the blanket seemed to have no feeling, but sometimes he could feel them.
"Not to mention whether I can remove the poison for you, your body needs to rest and not be tired." Gu Jianghe paused and said: "I left Yaowang Valley without saying goodbye before, but for tomorrow's City Lord's Ceremony?"
"Miss Gu, you know everything?" Ranchen was not surprised.
"Today I finally know why master asked me to come out of the valley and come to Yunzhong City." Gu Jianghe looked at Ranchen who was sitting in a wheelchair in front of him. The hair that was originally disheveled was now tied back with only a hosta, revealing all of her face. She finally didn't look as weak as she did in the afternoon. "But the Lord of Yunzhong City, who has shaken the world, what's wrong with him?" There are people who are more powerful in the world than you."
"Lord of Yunzhong City." Ranchen smiled mockingly, "But people in the world don't know that this man is like a gleam on his back."
"What?" Ranchen's voice was so low that Gu Jianghe couldn't hear clearly for a moment.
"Nothing?" Ranchen shook his head slightly, "The girl said in the afternoon that she wanted me to do you a favor. What kind of favor was it?"
Hearing this, Gu Jianghe seemed to hesitate, but seemed to have finally made up his mind and said, "I want you to find someone for me."
"Okay." Ranchen nodded, "After the City Lord's Ceremony is over tomorrow, I will help you search for him until he is found."
"Thank you."
"It's just a small matter, no need to say thank you. Until then, Miss Gu can just stay with me."
When Gu Jianghe was about to reply to Ranchen's words, his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the yellow pear wood bookshelf next to the desk.
Noticing Gu Jianghe's distraction, Ranchen followed her eyes and found that her eyes were attracted by a pair of exquisite white jade chess pieces on the bookshelf.
Ranchen smiled and said, "Does Miss Gu also like to play chess?"
One sentence interrupted Gu Jianghe's wandering, and she didn't feel a little embarrassed. She just said frankly: "Master had some chess skills when I was young, but my master's own chess skills are not very good, so I haven't learned much."
"Then I wonder if I could do the honors of playing chess with you?"
"Me?" Gu Jianghe was a little surprised, "I'm not good at chess."
"I can teach you." Ranchen turned the wheel of the wheelchair with both hands, came to the front of the bookshelf, and took down the exquisite white jade Qi placed on it. The seemingly heavy wheelchair seemed as light as a cloud in his hands.
In addition to medical skills since she was a child, her sisters in the valley also taught Gu Jianghe a lot of things, such as tea tasting, embroidery, calligraphy, and martial arts. But apart from playing chess, she really had no interest in anything else. It's a pity that the master is the best chess player in the valley, but he is only average. Moreover, the master is also an impatient person. Every time he plays chess, he finds it boring and refuses to play. Gu Jianghe's chess skills are not good at all because he is tired. Make progress.
Seeing the exquisite white jade chess piece in Ranchen's arms shining faintly under the candlelight, Gu Jianghe's eyes slightly curved and he smiled: "Okay."
Gu Jianghe smiled, but Ranchen was a little lost.
