Jian Qiushan received a report early in the morning, saying that Jian Xiaoxin and Wang Tiehan did not return overnight, and his heart was raised, his father and mother put his sister here to practice, because this Dingbian County is not as dangerous as the border pass where the two elder brothers are stationed. Although this girl is curious and a little unconvinced, she is not ignorant of the seriousness of the two years, although she has been running around with these catchers all day long, she has never been like this time and has not returned all night.

sent Chen Pengshan and others to look for him, but Jian Qiushan still couldn't rest assured, so he hurriedly handled official business and called all the swordsmen to chase after him. After only half an hour out of the city, he saw Chen Pengshan and his party hurrying over, asked about the situation, and knew that Wang Tiehan had not been found, Jian Qiushan hurriedly ordered Chen Pengshan to go to Sunjiawa, and while carefully protecting Jian Xiaoxin and Li Qing to rush to the city, he sent people to ask for the doctors of the city guards.

In addition to eating every day, the village chief spends most of his time in the medicine garden to serve his treasures, which is a habit for decades, and his wife knows the village chief's temperament very well, as long as he enters the medicine garden, he almost never bother.

Today, the village chief was removing some weeds for the newly bred Teng Snake Orchid, and his wife hurriedly ran in. The village chief was startled, and his subordinates were heavier, almost injuring the rhizome of the orchid, and he couldn't help but be a little unhappy, and when he heard that someone from Fallen Leaf City was coming, he hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out without looking back.

As soon as he entered the gate of the county government, Jian Qiushan felt different, more than a dozen officials were not like talking and laughing on weekdays, they all stood neatly and solemnly, and their eyes did not squint. When a team leader saw Jian Qiushan coming in, he hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the lobby, and said in a low voice: "Not long after you left, the master came." ”

Jian Qiushan was shocked, her sister was in a situation just now, how did her father arrive?, although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to slack off, and asked the officials to carry Jian Xiaoxin and Li Qing to the inner courtyard, and he dressed up and went to the lobby to greet his father.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw his father talking with an old man in cloth, Jian Qiushan was surprised in his heart, his father had a lot of affairs on weekdays, why did he have time to come with this old man today? While thinking, he stepped forward to salute his father and the old man.

"Brother Jane, is this the third child?" the old man in cloth looked at Jian Dashou with a smile.

"Qiushan, this is your Uncle Huo, I heard a few days ago that you have a girl missing here, how did you find out?" Jian Dashou took a sip of tea and looked at Jian Qiushan.

"Father, I originally thought it was just an ordinary missing case, but now it is a little strange, last night Xiaoxin and Wang Tiehan did not return overnight, this morning to welcome, but found that Xiaoxin and a teenager named Li Qing were injured, Wang Tiehan has not been found, Chen Zhutou has taken someone to Sunjiawa.

Before Jian Qiushan finished speaking, Jian Dashou and the old man had already stood up, beckoned Jian Qiushan to lead the way, and hurriedly went outside.

Entering a side room in the inner courtyard, the old man stood beside Jian Xiaoxin, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, his hands danced, and in an instant, he wept all the way down and applied more than ten needles in a row, and then exhaled softly. Stretched out his hand and was about to wipe it off his forehead, when a silk handkerchief was suddenly handed over to him. The old man was stunned, stretched out his hand to pick it up, and a small pink face appeared in front of him, with curved eyebrows, and dark, clear eyes full of smiles.

The old man was worried about the injuries of the two teenagers all the way, and did not pay attention to what people were in this room, at this time, he applied the needle, and his heart was a little settled, and then he noticed that there was this little girl beside him, thinking that this little girl was carefree on weekdays, and she was sticking to a few brothers like a fart all day long, and she was so sensible today, these children may not have had an easy time in the past two days, and her heart hurt, she reached out and rubbed the little girl's hair, got up and walked towards Li Qing.

Beside Li Qing, the old man stood for a long time, his expression became more and more solemn, and he saw Erya's heart pounding.

"Go and get my Teng Snake Orchid, and send someone to the army to get ten Dragon Blood Pills. The old man carefully applied the needle and commanded.

Jian Qiushan originally saw that Li Qing's body was covered in blood, thinking that the injury was bound to be extremely serious, but when he brought it back, he found that there were only a few knife wounds on his chest and right leg, but they were not too deep, so when the old man came in, he first treated Jian Xiaoxin, and Jian Qiushan did not object. At this time, after listening to the old man's words, what is the Teng Snake Orchid, Jian Qiushan does not know, and the Dragon Blood Pill is a healing elixir in the army, no matter how many injuries you have, only one can save your life. Now the old man not only wants to bring Teng Snake Orchid here, but the Dragon Blood Pill is even more than ten, what kind of injury did this young man suffer?

Jian Qiushan was having some doubts in his heart, and suddenly met Jian Dashou's cold gaze, hurriedly turned around and went to his room to get his own seal, and called the master bookkeeper Lu Zhi, and carefully entrusted, so that he could turn around with confidence.

The Jian family's Flying Tiger military order was forbidden, and it only took half an hour for Lu Zhi to lead Pei Baifa, the captain of the Leopard Tao Battalion, to hurry over. The old man has been applying needles for half an hour in a row at this moment, although it is winter, his clothes are soaked, and the second girl is desperately fanning the fire on the side, lest the old man be frozen, but a pair of big eyes are staring at Li Qing's face, and his eyes are full of eagerness.

When Jian Qiushan saw Lu Zhi coming back, he hurriedly came over and took the medicine, and put it in a large vat according to the old man's instructions, the house was full of strong medicinal fragrance, and everyone carefully carried Li Qing into the vat.

The old man was still not at ease, and after guarding the tank for a long time, he was relieved to see that Li Qing's face was gradually ruddy, and his pulse had some strength.

After being busy for a long time, Lu Zhi had already prepared the meal, Jian Dashou saw the old man's expression, and knew that Li Qing was okay for the time being, so he invited the old man to sit together, and suddenly saw that Er Ya was still holding the mouth of the cylinder and wiping Li Qing's sweat with a silk handkerchief, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to beckon the little girl to eat together.

"Huo Bo, what kind of injuries did Xiao Xin and Li Qing have?, why do you think you are so nervous?" Jian Qiushan saw the old man's expression, thinking that the injuries of the two teenagers were no longer serious, so he asked the question that he had endured for a long time. The second girl next to her gently sandwiched the food for the old man, and also pricked up his ears to listen.

"The third child," the old man's voice was a little solemn, "You have not been in Dingbian for a short time, you must have heard of the embroidery hall, right?"

Jian Qiushan's face immediately changed when he heard this, this embroidered clothes hall is extremely mysterious, every time there are unresolved grievances or unheard news in the rivers and lakes, many people will turn to the embroidery hall for help, but very few people know where this embroidery hall is, and there are some people in the hall. Listening to the old man's meaning, the injuries on the two teenagers were actually related to the embroidery hall, and he couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart.

Seeing Jian Qiushan's expression, the old man knew that the young man in front of him had really heard some rumors, so he continued: "This embroidered clothes hall specializes in doing things for employers that are inconvenient or incapable of doing on their own, including assassination and listening to news. Their actions are extremely secretive, and many people died at the hands of the embroidered clothes hall, but they can't find any clues, why do you say this?"

Jian Qiushan shook his head, and Erya also listened with wide eyes.

"It's just that the cultivators in this embroidery hall are different from ordinary cultivators, they are not very human, or they are not human. There was a hint of disgust in the old man's eyes, "The cultivators in the embroidery hall have been secretly detained since they were children, and these souls live on the bodies and souls of living people, and when one day these souls are strong enough, they can take away the bodies of some highly gifted cultivators for cultivation, then they change their identities, but they are no longer themselves." ”

Jian Qiushan and the girl listened to the old man's story, and couldn't help but feel terrified, they didn't expect that there was such an evil method in this world. If that's the case, wouldn't everyone around you be a person from the embroidery hall?

The old man seemed to see what the two of them were thinking, waved his hand lightly, and continued: "Although this method is evil, the person who came up with this method can be called a genius. And with this method, those who are born with strong souls, but mediocre qualifications, have the hope of changing their fate, because for a long time, both the court and the sect have been trying their best to exterminate the embroidery hall, but it has never had much effect, which is the reason. It's just that this method can only be used once, and once you take away others and use their physical bodies to start cultivating, your soul will no longer be able to survive outside your body for a long time, and from then on, you will truly become another person. ”

Jian Qiushan and Erya glanced at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly waited for the old man to continue.

"Once these souls succeed in seizing them, they will have a foundation for cultivation, what if they betray the Embroidery Hall one day?" the old man asked softly.

"Yes, most of the people who choose this method to cultivate their minds are because their own qualifications are too poor to cultivate, since they already have a foundation for cultivation, who still wants to live like this?" both of them thought in their hearts.

"For this problem, Xiuyitang naturally has a way, and this method is the Soul Pill. These people who have cultivated the Embroidery Hall exercises, although they have changed their fate and have a foundation for cultivation, but the soul and the new body are not perfectly compatible, and after a long time, the soul will not be nourished by the body, and it will gradually weaken, or even die. And the Soul Pill can nourish these evil souls. These cultivators couldn't leave the Soul Pill, and naturally they would never be able to leave the Embroidery Hall. ”

"Grandpa, what is this soul pill? Isn't it related to the injuries of Sister Xiaoxin and Brother Qing'er?" Er Ya seemed to guess something, and couldn't help but ask.

"Er Ya is really smart," the old man touched Er Ya's forehead lovingly, and continued: "This soul pill is made by catching ordinary people, torturing them with the most cruel and vicious methods, and then collecting the resentment of these people. At the least, he will lose his memory, or at worst, he will be invaded by these obsessions and become a demon in hell. ”

"What about Xiao Xin?" Jian Qiushan didn't dare to ask.

"The amount of poison in them is quite light, and the people who want to administer the poison may know their identity and don't want to harm their lives, but they just forget something, I have already applied the needle, and soon Xiao Xin will wake up. The old man gently patted Jian Qiushan's shoulder, signaling him to rest assured.

"What about Brother Qing'er?" Erya was careful, noticing that the old man had not said that Li Qing would also wake up, and hurriedly asked.

The old man looked at Erya, hesitated for a moment, sighed lightly, and then spoke: "Qing'er's injury is a little special, the meridians in his body are broken, and the injury is extremely serious," Seeing that there were already tears in Erya's big eyes, the old man hurriedly added, "But you don't have to worry too much, your brother Qing'er is extremely talented, the quality of the aura is extremely high, and although the meridians are a little broken, I have used Teng Snake Orchid to renew the meridians for him, and I have used the dragon blood pill to consolidate the foundation, I believe that in a few days, it will be fine." ”

Hearing that Brother Qing'er was fine, Erya reached out and wiped her eyes, and laughed again.
