Chapter 260: Hidden Mountain Village
After Xiahou Zheng became an earth immortal, his skills increased greatly, and when he was treating Mingyue's injury, the effect of pushing the palace through blood was getting better and better, and in just twenty days, Mingyue's injury had been completely healed, and there was not even a trace of dark injury.

In the past 20 days, there have been several waves of people from the rivers and lakes who came to the divine doctor to look for Xiahou Zheng, but they have not returned, no matter how they cultivate, whether they surrender or not, they were all directly clicked off by Xiahou Zheng, and the back mountain was about to become a mass grave.
In the space of twenty days, Xiahou Zheng also consolidated his Earth Immortal cultivation, completely reining in that unstable aura, as long as he didn't take the initiative to expose it, he looked like an ordinary person with plenty of qi and blood.
After Mingyue's injuries healed, Xiahou Zheng left directly with her.
On the road, Xiahou Zheng and Mingyue also had a medicine boy, three people riding one by one, walking slowly, and the medicine boy walked in the front.
"Why does the divine doctor have to follow you even if he is holding your thigh, doesn't he want you to leave quickly, so as not to be bullied by you?" Mingyue rode a horse and walked beside Xiahou and asked curiously.
Recalling the situation when he was leaving, the divine doctor hugged his leg and said that he wanted to follow him, Xiahou Zheng couldn't help but smile, "He, I'm afraid that I didn't lift the life and death charm on his body, and in the end, when the life and death charm attacked, others couldn't save it!"
"Did you really unlock the life and death talisman on the divine doctor?" Mingyue asked.
"Untie it, I'm very trustworthy. Xiahou was nodding, it was useless for the divine doctor to control it, so he didn't bother to do this kind of thing.
"Those medicine boys and maidservants of the Divine Doctor's Mansion won't be in danger, right? After all, they treated the Divine Doctor like that before, and the Divine Doctor will definitely retaliate against them, let's go back and warn him!" Mingyue looked back, a worried look on her face.
She was worried about the servant girl who took care of her, in the past month, under their care, Mingyue naturally couldn't watch them fall into the clutches of the divine doctor, but the three of them had already walked far away, and Mingyue couldn't see the divine doctor's mansion when she looked back.
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Xia Houzheng comforted, looking very confident.
"You told him not to hurt those maid medicine boys?"
"Nope!"
"Then how do you know that he won't, the divine doctor has a sinister personality, but you said, how can he not hold a grudge against those people? Even if we go back there in the future and ask someone, he can say that he has gone home, and an accident happened" Mingyue said worriedly, grabbing the reins of the horse and going back, wanting to warn the divine doctor.
"No need to go, the divine doctor won't live long!" Xia Hou was holding her arm and not letting her turn back.
"Did you do anything to him?" Mingyue asked, she believed Xiahou Zheng's words.
"If I want to kill him, I have to work so hard, just kill him directly, who dares to say anything?" Xiahou Zheng said domineeringly.
"Then how do you say he won't live long?"
Xiahou was looking at her and explained: "The divine doctor has a son and a daughter, because he was used by the divine doctor to test the medicine, the son couldn't stand the pain and died, and the daughter was disfigured by the medicine, so the daughter swore to kill him." ”
"And when we left, his daughter was hiding in the woods on the side, and by this time, the doctor must have fallen to the ground. ”
"Ah, you mean, his daughter killed him?" Mingyue looked at Xiahou Zheng in shock, her face was full of incredulity, she had been filial to her grandmother since she was a child, and she was loved by her grandmother, she didn't know that father and daughter could still turn against each other and never die.
"The father is unkind, so the son is not filial!" Xia Houzheng sighed with emotion and stepped forward.
Mingyue hesitated, but still believed Xiahou Zheng's judgment, did not go back, and followed Xiahou Zheng.
The medicine boy didn't say a word, knowing that his conversation shouldn't be too talkative, and he didn't have feelings for the divine doctor, so even though Xiahou was discussing the life and death of the divine doctor with Mingyue, he didn't have the slightest intention of going back to see it, just stopped and waited for them silently.
Xiahou was taking Mingyue with him, and instead of going in the direction outside the mountain, he chose a direction that went deep into the mountain!
He was about to go to the Emperor to settle accounts, but after the Emperor Shakti gave him a shocking reward, there must be countless people in the rivers and lakes looking for news of him, with his current strength, he didn't have to worry about anything, but in case those people made a move on Mingyue after he left, Mingyue would definitely not be able to stop it.
Xiahou Zheng learned from those people from behind that after Emperor Shakti took out the Sacred Heart Decision as a reward, many old guys couldn't stand the temptation of immortality, and couldn't help but dispatch, with Mingyue's early stage cultivation, they were definitely not their opponents.
Therefore, he wanted to find a hidden place, a place where the transmission of information was very slow, a place where people in the rivers and lakes did not go, and placed Mingyue down.
And in this direction they are going, there is a village isolated from the rest of the world.
This is what Xiahou told him when he was asking the medicine boy and maid about the hidden villages around him.
According to him, this village was accidentally discovered by him while collecting medicine, and it is very hidden and unknown to others, just like a paradise, isolated from the world.
Therefore, Xiahou was taking him directly and asking him to show the way.
After walking for a while, the mountain road became more and more rugged, and the road became more and more to the end, and there was no road directly, under the leadership of the medicine boy, Xiahou Zheng and Mingyue both dismounted and hurried with their legs.
Putting the horse aside in the woods, Xiahou was lifting the medicine boy and asking him to show the way, galloping between the mountains and rocks and trees, followed by Mingyue.
After running for about half an hour, Mingyue was a little tired, and the three of them came to a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is a small canyon, and the canyon is full of dense forests, but with Xiahou Zheng's eyesight, some houses and farmland can still be faintly seen.
Xia Hou was looking back, there was no obvious road on the way here, it was full of weeds, he shook his head and asked the medicine boy, "There is not even a road, how did you find here?"
"Once the miracle doctor asked the little one to come out to collect medicine, and accidentally got lost, it was getting late, and he walked here in a panic. The medicine boy replied respectfully.
"Let's go, let's go down!" Xia Houzheng smiled, picked up the medicine boy again, and jumped off the cliff.
Then he stopped steadily on a raised rock on the cliff wall, and when he looked up, Mingyue also followed, and gently landed beside Xiahou Zheng.
The cliff hundreds of meters high, after Xiahou Zheng took a few leaps, had reached the bottom of the valley, Xiahou Zheng and Mingyue were unharmed, and the medicine boy was pale, and things were frightened.
The house in front of him can already be seen by ordinary people's eyes, Xiahou is taking a big stride and walking forward, and the medicine boy can't care too much, so he also follows.
In front of you is a small village, about 50 households, all the houses are concentrated in one place, and the fields are on the other side, in an orderly manner, not like ordinary village houses, with a strong sense of planning.
Between the houses, there were still some children frolicking back and forth, but after seeing Xiahou Zheng and the three of them, their little faces showed frightened expressions, and they ran back to their homes and closed the simple door.
A seven or eight-year-old child cowered and ran past Xiahou Zheng and ran towards a path behind him.
"Little friend, what's your name, why did you run away when you saw your sister?" Mingyue took a few steps, stopped in front, squatted in front of the child, and asked with a smile.
The child didn't have any heart, and when he heard Mingyue ask him, he didn't run away, and he bit his fingers cutely and said: "My name is Xiaoshan, and my father and mother said that if you see someone you don't know, go home quickly, and don't play outside, otherwise your mother will be angry." ”
"Go home when you see a stranger?" Can you tell my sister that there are usually strangers here?" Mingyue scratched his nose and asked with a smile.
"Children don't know anything, what can they ask, let's go, find an adult to ask, and everything will be known!" Xia Houzheng shook his head and said.
"Yes, a few days ago, a group of uncles I didn't know came, and my father and mother were so scared, saying that they were bad people, and I was so afraid. Xiaoshan seemed to remember something bad, and a trace of fear appeared on his little face, and then he looked at Mingyue with innocent eyes, "Sister, are you a bad person?"
Mingyue glanced at Xiahou Zheng proudly, then reached out and patted Xiaoshan's little head, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoshan, of course my sister is a good person, Xiaoshan is so cute, my sister won't hurt Xiaoshan." ”
Xia Houzheng heard that someone had come here not long ago, and his face was also cold, and he glared at the medicine boy fiercely, so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.
"When did those bad guys come, can you tell my sister?" Mingyue continued to ask.
"I don't remember. Xiaoshan said embarrassedly: "But my mother must remember, I'll take you to see my mother!"
"Okay!" Mingyue smiled, took Xiaoshan's hand, and smiled proudly at Xiahou Zheng: "Follow up!"
"Xiaoshan, do you remember what those bad guys looked like?" asked Mingyue on the way.
"Remember!" replied aloud at once, with a proud expression on his face.
"What do they look like?"
"What the child knows, he can't even remember the time, how can he remember what those people looked like. Xia Hou Zheng interjected.
"Just like this brother, it's very bad, it's bad!" Xiao Shan bit his finger and pointed at Xiahou Zhengdao cutely.
Obviously, Xiaoshan didn't know what the bad guys were doing, but he only knew that they were as fierce as Xiahou.
"Boy, be careful when you speak, where do I look like a bad person?" Xiahou Zheng said angrily.
Xiaoshan was so frightened that he leaned towards Mingyue's body, and looked at Xiahou Zheng in fear, "Bad guy, bad guy." ”
"What are you doing, don't freak out the kids. Mingyue patted Xiaoshan's back and glared at Xiahou Zheng, "What are you competing with children, are you ashamed!"
"Shame!" Xiao Shan shaved his face twice at Xiahou Zheng and said with a grin.
Xia Houzheng: "Okay, my fault!
The village is not big, Xiaoshan's home is not far away, a few people soon arrived at the door of his house, a village woman was feeding chickens in the yard, seeing Mingyue with Xiaoshan over, she was taken aback, dropped the chicken food in her hand, and immediately said: "Xiaoshan, come here, come here." ”
Xiaoshan happily ran towards the village woman, and Mingyue didn't stop her, but if she stopped at this time, it would be ill-intentioned and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Who are you?" Xiaoshan's mother breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party was willing to let Xiaoshan come over, but she still asked with a vigilant face.
"Hello, I," Xia Hou said expressionlessly.
"Eldest sister, I am a doctor, this is my escort and medicine boy. Mingyue directly interrupted Xiahou Zheng's words, pointed to Xiahou Zheng and the medicine boy and said with a smile: "We came to the mountains to collect medicine this time, encountered a tiger, fled in a hurry, accidentally lost our way, and found this village after several twists and turns, exhausted, I want to spend a few days, and I hope that the eldest sister will make it convenient." ”
"Are you a doctor?" The village woman looked suspicious, except for the medicine boy, Mingyue and Xiahou Zheng were not at all like doctors and guards, they were neatly dressed, and they were very gorgeous, not at all like they had experienced escaping under the tiger.
Mingyue's ears moved slightly, and she said, "Eldest sister, I heard a heavy breathing sound in this room, there should be a person who has been sick in bed for many years, right?"
These days, when Mingyue has nothing to do, she asks the divine doctor to bring some medical books to her, and there is also a divine doctor to explain it, and her medical skills have also improved a lot.
"How do you know?" the village woman was shocked.
"I'm a doctor, and it's not surprising that doctors are very attentive to what they hear!"
"Can you cure her, then?" asked the village woman nervously.
"You can try!" Mingyue had just replied when a noise came, and after a while, more than two dozen men surrounded the three with hoes and kitchen knives.
A group of people immediately made a noise, shouting for Xiahou to let them go.
"Quiet!" Xia Hou was impatient with their noise, and roared directly, calming everyone down, and glanced at them coldly, "We didn't tie them up, why did we let them go?"
"Then why are you blocking my door?" said a man with a hoe.
There were still some traces of dirt on his trouser legs, apparently rushing back from the field after hearing the news.
"We just came here by accident, so we wanted to ask for some news, so we followed Xiaoshan to your house, and there was no malicious intent, big brother, please don't misunderstand!" Mingyue stood up and said.
Obviously, when dealing with strangers, you still have to be beautiful, and a beautiful woman is more effective than a man.
Those villagers heard Mingyue's words, and immediately chattered about it, some thought that they had no malicious intent and should believe it, and some thought that they were just confusing themselves and should be driven out immediately.
In the end, Mingyue struggled to convince the villagers that they had no ill intentions, but only came here by chance.
"Can you cure the disease?" was Lin Da's first sentence after believing in Mingyue.
"Yes!"
"Can you cure my mother?" Lin Da looked at Mingyue hopefully.
"Yes!"
Subsequently, Mingyue entered the room and saw Lin Da's mother, who had been bedridden for many years and was suffering from a serious illness, at this time her face was withered, skinny, and her face had a hint of death.
After Mingyue investigated the cause of the disease, she said that it could be cured, which immediately made Lin Da's family cheer.
"Auntie's illness is an old disease, not a day can be cured, can you arrange a few houses for us first. Mingyue said.
"No problem, no problem!" Lin Dalian nodded repeatedly, his mother's old illness could finally be cured, he was very happy, and immediately cleaned up the two houses and borrowed a few quilts from the neighbor's house.
"Did you have anyone else here a few days ago?" asked Xiahou Zheng after finding a moment.
"Yes, those people are vicious, like a bunch of bandits, arrogant and domineering, they came to us for questioning, and a few of them were injured by them just a few words of complaint. Lin Da said indignantly.
Xiahou Zheng nodded, he was not interested in these little things, and continued to ask, "How long did they come here?"
"About half a month ago!"
"How many people came?"
"Thirteen!"
"Do you have people here often, and how often?"
"People don't come very often, only a secret path leads to here, and usually we bring our own things outside to change salt and other things and bring them back, and no one comes in here all year round. ”
The two asked and answered, and Xiahou Zheng quickly got the information he needed.
"It's safe here, and even if someone does get here, it's probably not a great person, so you should be able to handle it easily. If there is really a powerful person, I really can't deal with it, so I run into the mountains and hide, and I will come back in half a month at most. Xiahou Zheng directly found Mingyue and gave an order.
"Can't you stay? live a carefree and undisputed life here, don't seek revenge on the emperor. Mingyue persuaded.
"No!" Xia Houzheng replied, "I can only feel at ease if I solve him." ”
"Be careful yourself!" Mingyue looked at his determined eyes and asked in disappointment.
"Got it!" Xia Houzheng nodded and turned to leave.
"I'll be waiting for you here!" Mingyue muttered in a low voice. To be continued.
