Chapter Forty-Seven: Visitors from Outside the Mountains
Qi Xuanyao recalled: "My father and master once did not collect medicine at Lingkou, and suddenly saw a seriously injured person with a double sword on his back fall to the ground, so he carried him back for treatment. Master's medical skills are so good that it would be good for him to recuperate for a few months, and in order to repay the kindness of the stubborn disease, he gave us the double sword. The master was usually stern and resolutely did not want other people's things, but when the man left, he deliberately left the two swords without saying goodbye. We could not find any trace of him, so we could only accept it in silence, and when he returned, it would be returned to its original owner, but after a few days, there was no news. My brother and I also went to look for him, but my brother was very negative, and the person's whereabouts were unknown, so we had to give up. ”
Haomei asked, "What does this have to do with my mother's sullenness?" She originally wanted to say: My mother loves my brother very much, and it is normal for my brother to be negative.
Qi Xuanyao glanced at her, blurted out the words of blame, and said, "It is precisely because Master Niang loves him that he caused a big disaster and was out of control. ”
Hao Mei said in horror: "What a catastrophe." ”
Qi Xuanyao continued: "Not long after, Senior Brother liked the double swords left by that man very much, and asked Master for them at night. Who knew that the master wanted him to learn poison, and he was not allowed to touch the weapon, and handed over the weapon to the master for safekeeping. I was also curious about what those swords looked like, because the swords on the man's back were wrapped in black cloth, and after he left them, they were in the master's hands, but I basically couldn't see them, and I didn't dare to ask the master more.
One day, I was meditating in my room when suddenly the door of my room was slammed open, and the man coughed heavily, as if he was seriously injured. I can't see clearly through the side curtain on the bed, and besides, after pranayama and opening my eyes, my state of mind cannot be destroyed, and the true qi in the body has reached the final stage of bone refining and refining, so I just need to exhale the turbid qi as soon as I breathe in, otherwise the turbidity will flow backwards, and the cultivation in the past few days will not only be in vain, but may damage the meridians and even lose my life. This reminds me of the person who has a deep illness on his back after leaving the Divine Doctor Qiling a few months ago, it may be that his illness has flare-up, if so, then it is useless for me to go, after all, even the illness cured by the master has flare-up again, just imagine that my medical skills are a lot inferior to his old man, and the most I can do is to help him. I was wondering if it would be one of them, Master, Master, Sister, and Brother, this kind of thought was fleeting, you know, the house I live in is in a remote corner of the ridge, and their house is squeezed together in the middle of the ridge, but the master often comes to see me and teaches me some skills in identifying herbs, because my physique can't be exposed to too many poisons. I often go to pick some tonic medicine and sell it at the door of the medicine shop, often not at home, every time my wife finds a poison or strange medicine, I record it, put it in a small box at my door, arch me self-research. Since that competition, Shi Niang has rarely talked to me, and she is definitely not Shi Niang, so she is basically sure that she is the owner of those two swords?
I don't think much about it, I just want to spit out the turbidity as soon as possible and go out and have a look. At this moment, I smelled blood in my nose, and I began to think that it was a fork in luck that broke through the blood vessels. But the Dan Yuan in his body was not restless, and then he understood that the fishy smell was coughed up by the person at the door. Realizing that his life was in danger, I was in a hurry and my breath was bifurcated, and a mouthful of blood came out and splashed on the wooden board, and my heart was cracked, but I didn't want to die. I propped up the edge of the bed and went down, regardless of the cleanliness of my shoes, stepping through the blood stains, and when I was about to help the man, I saw that it was the master who was on the door, her expression was pale, she was wearing a dress that was all stained dark red with blood, the corners of her mouth were dripping with blood, and she was holding a red sword in her hand, and on her back was her usual small and long 'tiger tail' sword. She slurred her speech, as if she was saying something, her mouth was full of blood, she staggered, held the sword in her hand and forced it on the floor, and shook it twice, it can be seen that she was only very struggling, the reason why she didn't call outside just now turned out to be too seriously injured. I don't know why, but when I got up and saw her, I immediately stepped forward to help her and shouted: 'Master, what are you doing, who hurt you?' Seeing that the master was so seriously injured, the shadow of a person flashed in my mind, that is, the person who left the ridge, he left two swords, in fact, he wanted us to protect it, so that we could come back to get it after dealing with private affairs, and we must have gone to find the traces of that person and were discovered by his enemies, and he was angry with us.
I didn't dare to delay my master's injury too much, and I was going to infuse a few true qi into her body, but she grabbed my arm and endured the pain and squeezed out a sentence: 'Hurry up...... Leave...... This...... Village. I was at a loss, and immediately said urgently: "What about Master and Senior Brother, how are they?" For a while, I saw that she looked angry, as if she was blaming me for disobedience, and then I realized that she was blaming herself. At that time, her expression changed again, and she became very determined, as if she hated the trouble that the person brought after entering the mountain. I even asked what was going on, and I had the urge to rush to the middle of the ridge to take a look, but she was too seriously injured, and I was at a loss for a while. She gritted her teeth and pushed me away with the last of her strength, put her sword around her neck and said, 'What if you...... If I don't go, I'll ...... Death is yours...... Front. I was scared and anxious, afraid that she would really commit suicide, and I didn't know what the danger of Master and Senior Brother was. When she hesitated, she fainted, and I knew that I had to make up my mind to save as many as I could. I was going to go out from the ridge, but at this time, a powerful sword qi broke through the air, and I didn't hurry to instigate Dan Yuan to destroy the true qi and turn it into light and escape, so I had to pick up Shi Niang, take the sword that fell from her hand for her, and rise in the wind, and use my sword to the raised corner stone on the mountain wall to avoid the terrible sword qi. I saw that the position where I was standing had changed as a result of the landfall, the land had been rejuvenated by the impact of the sword qi, the house had been washed away by a mudslide, and the woods behind the fragments of wood were like seedlings in a rice field like a flood. Secretly surprised, fortunately I escaped quickly, otherwise my sister and I would have died. I knew that the veins of my body were not going well, and I didn't dare to fight to the death with the people who came. When stepping on the beautiful stone of the mountain wall, it has been flying quickly to the high place, which is conducive to escaping as a light filament, and the more it is below, the uneven mountain is difficult to fall thousands of miles.
After taking away the master, we took refuge in a cave. I kept entering the true yuan, repairing her Yuan Dan, after a few days, her injuries were almost healed, I asked her what was going on, she just wouldn't say, I found a time to go back to the ridge to see, who knew that once I entered the center of the ridge was full of devastation, the house was all burned, and the branches were almost cut off by something, and I didn't need to know that it was the man's sword energy. I was so desperate that I had to ask my wife for clarification.
In the cave, Shi Niang sighed: "Xuanyao, we were not good before, and we spoiled such a rebel. She was full of ripples, and sorrow came from it. As soon as I heard the word rebel, it must be my senior brother colluding with outsiders. I didn't dare to say that my brother was not in front of my sister, which made her more seriously injured. She continued: "Yesterday in the blue sky, I was chatting with your master, drinking tea on the stone platform in the open area, and a person came outside to thank us for the seven gods. I felt that the word was familiar, but I couldn't recall it, so I hurriedly asked, 'Who are the seven gods?' Shi Niang said: "It is the person who wrote a book of "Dan Book Refining Qi" that made the world taboo. I was shocked, I heard the master say that that book is an important secret book for refining the 'Chaos Gathering Yuan Dan', when the Heavenly Dynasty Rival Evil King recruited alchemists in order to fight against the world's cultivators, the purpose was to study a kind of Dan Yuan that absorbs cultivators and destroys the foundation. Or make it invalid and let the royal power of the Celestial Empire be consolidated. I've heard that there are many types of 'Chaos Gathering Yuan Dan', but I still don't know. At that time, the master said that he was hiding in the Divine Doctor Strange Ridge when the Evil King was recruiting pharmacists. In the cave, the master continued: "We politely invited him to sit down, but we saw that the man was not young, his hair was white, and he said that he was called the highest building. Taking a sip of tea, he said straight to the point that he had received the favor of the Seven Gods to come without any effort, and we were skeptical, and he took out a yellow-spotted bottle of medicine. Your teacher naturally recognized that it was the Seven Gods who lived in the mountains for a period of time to heal Shen and study a potion to dye hair black. When he saw that we didn't believe us, he dyed his hair on the spot, and your master also knew that he was afraid that the medicine was poisonous, so he came to test the authenticity of the medicine, and secondly, he wanted us to believe him completely. Your master found that he was acting strangely and couldn't say anything, so your brother and I were both there, looking at each other. He also opened his heart and said that the Seven Gods thanked us, not because we had cured him of his illness, but because he had secretly taken some important medicinal books from our bookshelves, so he kept the two swords for exchange. At that time, your master was very angry and saved a white-eyed wolf. I asked my sister at the time, 'Then our death was caused by the highest building.' But the master sighed and said, "You can say yes, or you can say no." I was very puzzled about what it meant to be able to say yes or no, so I thought of the word "rebel" that my mother said before, and my mouth suddenly opened. I couldn't help but say anymore: 'That must be what Gao Zhilou used to lure the senior brother, but we don't have anything. Immediately I remembered the swords. Shi Niang nodded, and then shook her head again.
Didn't wait for me to ask any more questions. Hearing the master, the master continued: "Your master asked me to take out the double swords, saying that they would return them to the Seven Gods, and let the highest building inform him to redeem the medicine book back, and the highest building looked noncommittal. I looked at the corners of the mouth of this slowly dignified and dignified hair dyeing man, and found that something was wrong, but your master had a firm heart to redeem it, and I took it out. When he saw the double sword and his eyes lit up, he praised him, and I even suspected that he was a person who was greedy for heaven and earth, and even glanced at your master. Your master understands and asks him to return the medicine book first. But I said, 'Did he snatch his sword and hurt you?' Shi Niang shook her head slowly, and continued: "He shook his head and didn't agree, saying that he came to see the Turbidity Yang Sword and the Turbidity Yin Sword, not a messenger, and the Seven Gods didn't mean to exchange it back, maybe he copied it and returned it to you." When I thought about it, what he said was very reasonable, but after so many days, Tuo Ye Tuo was finished, and it seems that the other party doesn't want to change. Your master loves medicine like his life, and he is very angry. I also said angrily: "If I am replaced on the spot, I will take this old man hostage to find the Seven Gods." Sitting on the stone, the master coughed, her body was not fully well, and said lightly: "I was also your reaction at that time." I was a little surprised, because usually the master is rarely angry. Shi Niang continued: "The person who came to the highest building was calm and relaxed, and no longer showed flaws. Later, he tried to find a way, saying that he was a swordsmith. ’”
