Chapter 10 – The Secret of the Little Merfish's Family

Tuo Zhixin returned home, and was naturally ecstatic to see her father and brother.

After listening to Xin'er's explanation, and seeing that she came back with some products of the Sea Empire, Xiao Die said: "You said that you have been learning art from the master for three years, but my mother thought that you would not come back." ”

"Mother, the master said that I always think about my family, and I don't have to worry about learning art, so I asked me to come back to visit me and tell me not to be distracted in the future, this time I really have to wait for three years after I come back, you and my father don't worry, I will come back after I finish my studies." ”

Xiao Die seems to have finally believed that there is really a master in this sea empire, so he left her as an apprentice because he admired Xin'er's talent.

Tuo Zhijun couldn't help but blame himself, but seeing that Tuo Zhixin not only improved his spiritual power, but also was very happy to stay in the Sea Empire, he didn't worry about it anymore.

Only Tuo Haisheng took it for granted, and said: "It's good, you just think about it all day, and you can't sleep because you're worried, I say you, the children are so good, just be happy and don't think too much." ”

Xiao Die glanced at Tuo Haisheng dissatisfiedly: "How else to say that fools have foolish blessings?" Xin'er, don't listen to your father, it's always good to have multiple eyes in everything, you come to the inner hall, I have something to say to you." ”

Xin'er obediently followed her mother to the inner hall.

Xiao Die took Xin'er's hand and sat on the bed: "Xin'er, I was in such a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to ask you, I always feel weird about your master, you are a girl's family, people's hearts are sinister, you have to guard against it in the end." By the way, did he ask who your master is?"

Xin'er lay down in her mother's arms: "I asked, I will coax him as you said, it seems that he doesn't care very much." ”

Xiao Die thought thoughtfully: "That's very good, I think that the spiritual power of the big brother Leng who sent you last time is already top-notch, not to mention that his master, even if he can mobilize such a person to do things for him, I am afraid that your master's status in the Sea Empire is not simple, you have to pay more attention there." ”

Xin'er felt a little guilty for deceiving her mother, but in order not to worry her, she had no choice but to do so, she rubbed in Xiao Die's arms, and said coquettishly like when she was a child: "Mother, I know." But why can't I tell someone that you taught me?"

Xiao Die said: "You have grown up and inherited the Xiao family's silver silk technique, I should have told you a long time ago, it has been delayed." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Die got up, walked to a seemingly inconspicuous mud brick at the bottom of the wall, and pulled out a brick from under the bed, which turned out to be a dark grid. Xiao Die took out a dusty box from inside, patted the dust, and handed it to Xin'er.

Xin'er opened the box curiously, only to see that there was a small box in the box. Xin'er opened the small box, only to see that there was a purple flower-like thing in the box, Xin'er said strangely: "Mother, what is this?"

Xiao Die said: "This is Ziyunzhi, a strange flower that can open the cultivator's twin spiritual apertures, increasing the spiritual power cultivation speed to twice and the attack strength by tripling. ”

"Ah, how can there be such a magical thing at home? This is just for my brother, doesn't my brother always want to be stronger?"

Xiao Die said: "This was originally intended to be left for your brother, Jun'er has been obsessed with cultivating the art of attack, but the spiritual power is too low to take I'm afraid I can't afford it, but now that your master has saved Jun'er's life, we can't repay it, my mother and your brother have also discussed giving this thing to your master." ”

Xin'er pursed her lips, "No need, the master doesn't need it." ”

Xiao Die nodded Xin'er's forehead with disgust: "You kid, didn't I tell you, don't owe favors to others, whether they need it or not, we just have a clear conscience." ”

Xin'er pursed her lips, and although she was unwilling, she agreed: "Got it." ”

Xiao Die walked up to Xin'er, took out the book pressed under the small box, and handed it to Xin'er.

Xin'er looked at the book, and it read: "Silver Silk Pharmaceutical Notes - Xiao Mingyuan".

"Who is Xiao Mingyuan?" asked Xin'er.

"He is your grandfather, that is, your mother's father, your grandfather once practiced silver silk medicine with a master, and he also studied with his junior brother Leng Xiaoyan, who was ten years younger than him, and practiced another kind of water medicine technique, this purple cloud tail was given by your grandfather's master, and their senior brothers and sisters had one plant. ”

Xiao Die picked up this purple Yunzhi, and her mind seemed to drift to many years ago.

"Later, the previous patriarch of the beast mutant clan tried his best to invite your grandfather back to the beast clan, and your grandfather said goodbye to his master and brother and returned to the clan. Since then, for more than ten years in the beast mutant clan, your grandfather has been concentrating on refining medicine to cure diseases and save people. Xiao Die paused, leaning slightly out of the window, as if recalling the accident that changed her life.

"However, by chance, your grandfather encountered a rare poison, which aroused his competitive spirit, so he tried to develop a variety of poisons, and all his attempts are recorded in this note, because they are all poison formulas, so I am most afraid that the person who gets this note will not be right. ”

Xiao Die's speech gradually slowed down, as if she was trying her best to suppress the fluctuations in her heart, and she continued:

"But what your grandfather feared most happened anyway. Someone spied on this book, and even used your grandfather's silver wire alchemy to make poison to poison a person of great status. Everyone in the world knows that the only person who can use silver wire to refine medicine at that time is your grandfather, and your grandfather has no choice but to flee with my grandmother and me, who was only fifteen years old at the time, preparing to go to my father's younger brother Leng Xiaoyan. Xiao Die recalled the scene at that time, and it seems that it is still unforgettable.

"There were many people chasing and killing us along the way, my father and mother were injured, and I also lost the spiritual power to continue refining medicine due to serious injuries at that time, we fled all the way, and finally your grandparents sent me to a cave to hide, and my mother and father went together to lure away those pursuers, and my father told me to live well, not to avenge them, and let me keep this book. ”

Xiao Die turned back to Tuo Zhixin and said: "This book is your grandfather's brainchild, although this is the recipe for poison, but this is also the recipe for saving people, just see how people can use it." After your grandmother told me all this that day, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I searched for my father and mother, and passed out at the bottom of the mountain and was rescued by your father. ”

Xiao Die quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued:

"At that time, I was wounded and crying all day, and your father told me that he saw your grandparents dead in the wanted notice, and that they were going after me. Your father risked being wanted to protect me and take care of me, so I had the confidence to survive. ”

"Mother, I must cherish it. Xin'er stroked the book and said to Xiao Die, thinking, this is really a nowhere to find a place to get through the iron shoes, God is pitiful, as long as I can refine the poison, my little life will be saved, thank you grandfather!

"Mother, does my brother know about this?" asked Xin'er.

Xiao Die smiled: "Your brother is seven years older than you, he already knew about this, this time he was poisoned, and I just remembered to remind me to give you the book early, your brother didn't like to practice alchemy since he was a child, but he said that he has a sister who can make medicines, and it is very shameless to be poisoned when my brother." He said that you should practice your skills early. ”

"Brother's heart is a lot," Xin'er said with a smile. But neither Xin'er nor Xiao Die guessed that this matter was definitely not over in Tuo Zhijun's heart, and an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth was the way of survival that Tuo Zhijun believed.

He seems to be frank and undistracted on the surface, but his cunning and ambition are also deeply hidden, and the future of him is by no means a thing in the pool.

In the next two days, the family was happy, and Tuo Zhijun's health was almost better, and he planned to go back to the barracks.

The sun was shining, the cherry blossoms were blooming in the backyard, and Tuo Zhijun quietly pulled Xin'er to the backyard.

"Xin'er, if you want to go back to the Sea Empire, are you really looking for a master? How can there be such a good thing in the world, now that your father and mother are not here, you tell me the truth. ”

"Really, brother, how else would I have the ability to get the Lonely Grass?"

"This thing is very strange, this is not an ordinary thing, I said that I will send you to you, but what are the exchange conditions?" asked Tuo Zhijun.

"Brother, you just don't believe that there are good people in the world!

Tuo Zhijun looked at Xin'er suspiciously: "You think you don't have anything to do with you, others don't think so!"

Xin'er stomped her feet: "Brother, I won't tell you." ”

Xin'er turned around to leave, but Tuo Zhijun stretched out his hand and grabbed it: "If you want me to rest assured, if you go back this time, I'll send you there, and I'll be relieved when I go to see me." ”

At this moment, in the corner of the wall, Xiao Die was eavesdropping on the conversation between the brother and sister.

Tuo Haisheng was rough in the house with his hands and feet, complaining: "Said to eat, this person ran away!"

Xin'er twisted the corners of her clothes with her fingers and bit her lip: "Did your mother ask you to ask?"

Tuo Zhijun's handsome face froze, "It's what I want to ask, you answer me first!"

"No, the master has been very kind to me, he is so busy, do I still take you to disturb his old man's cleanliness?"

"I'm not noisy, I don't bother him, I'll just take a look," Tuo Zhijun said.

"Anyway, it's just not good, the master has helped me a lot, I don't want to trouble him"

"How can your brother be in trouble?" said Takuchi-jun.

"Anyway, it just doesn't work!" Xin'er said.

Tuo Zhijun looked at Xin'er's stubbornness, and he also had a calculation in his heart. softened his tone and said, "Okay, that brother won't force you, how did you see your grandfather's handwriting in the past two days?"

"I looked at it roughly, and I can't remember some of it. Xin'er said.

"Your memory is much stronger than that of my brother, you hurry up and read it, and when you return to the Sea Empire, don't bring the book, this book will also be a disaster if it falls into the hands of others. ”

"Yes, I see. Xin'er replied.

Tuo Zhijun glanced in the direction of the root of the wall and saw that Xiao Die had already left.

"By the way, you carefully study the "Sage Chase" prepared by your grandfather, so you should practice your hands, and make it out as soon as possible for me to see. ”

"What do you want poison for?" Xin'er said strangely.

Tuo Zhijun reached out and touched Xin'er's head, "Little girl, don't let your brother take care of your affairs, do you still want to take care of your brother's affairs?" ”

"Hmph, if you don't tell me honestly, my brain won't be good, and the medicine won't be able to be made. Xin'er pouted.

"You-" Tuo Zhijun pretended to raise his hand to hit Xin'er, Xin'er hurriedly protected her head and said: "Dare to hit me, if you beat me, I will call my mother!"

Tuo Zhijun gritted his teeth and poked Xin'er's forehead hard, Xin'er stroked her forehead and frowned: "Brother-"

"Do you think my brother was poisoned miserably this time?"

Xin'er nodded: "Miserable." ”

"You also learn to refine poisons, and only when you know the ingredients of poisons can you make an antidote, right?"

"Yes. ”

"In addition, if you refine a few poisons, my brother will always need to defend himself in the barracks, so be prepared, you know?"

"Well, I know, brother" Xin'er smiled, but she thought that maybe she wouldn't have a chance to bring it to her brother.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Tuo Zhijun sent Xin'er to the beach.

Xin'er said: "Brother, go back, don't send it." ”

"It's only been a few days since I went out, so I dislike my brother, right, and urge my brother to go. Tuo Zhijun said.

Xin'er said coquettishly: "Brother......"

"Okay, I'm not going to say it, you take care of yourself. ”

"Yes. Xin'er was a little reluctant, but she had to part.

Without looking back, she jumped into the sea, and after taking the Heart Protection Pill, she no longer needed to transform into a fish to walk in the deep sea.

However, Takuchi, who was supposed to leave, turned into a cloud and followed closely behind Xin'er.

Tuo Zhijun, who is already level forty, also does not need to transform to enter the deep sea, and at this moment he transforms just to prevent Xin'er from discovering it.
