The four of them quickly packed up their things and immediately set off.

The place where Meng Yanyu was stationed was considered to be the more marginal location of the Nanban Forest, and the Nanban tribe was located in the center of the Nanban Forest. In addition, the road is overgrown with trees and the terrain is complex, and the speed of travel is greatly limited.

"Ah Yan, aren't you planning to build a normal road?" Li Qiutong, who was hung by a tree branch again, complained helplessly.

Meng Yanyu waved his knife to cut off the branches, and said helplessly: "No way, the elders of the tribe have always adhered to the old-fashioned thinking, and they don't want to have too much contact with the Dongwu Continent, everything is self-sufficient, and there is no big problem with normal life, but the development has been greatly restricted, and we who only have the most primitive production materials cannot build a road at all." ”

"Then how did you know something out there?" Yang Ruiyun asked.

"Although it is forbidden to go out, there are still some people who choose to travel to increase their knowledge and martial arts. ”

"For example, my master Canaan, who has been traveling around the continent since he was young, returned to the tribe after completing his studies, and treated many people, and is the only healer of the tribe. Ah Yan and I often like to listen to Master talk about things outside. Ye Ling'er explained on the side.

"I see. By the way, what's going on with that healer of the Qin State. Li Qiutong suddenly thought.

Meng Yanyu also realized this and looked at Ye Ling'er.

"I don't know much about this, because he is the one brought back by Brother Yanfeng. ”

"It seems that this matter is not simple. Yang Ruiyun sighed.

"Let's get to the tribe first. ”

After a day-long journey, the four of them finally arrived at the Nanban tribe in the middle of the night.

Although the night is dark, you can still clearly see that the whole tribe is surrounded by a high fence with bamboo buildings as the main building. The large and small bamboo buildings are scattered with each other, forming the entire Nanban tribe, which is about the size of a medium-sized city, and not counting some of the other buildings in the surrounding area, just a residential area in the center.

Following the two people who were familiar with the road, several people came to a small bamboo building located on the edge. There was still a faint light flickering in the room.

Ye Ling'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said softly, "Master, we're back." ”

Hearing a sound of footsteps inside, the wooden door was opened, and a kind old man in a white robe walked out.

"Come in. ”

Entering the house, Ye Ling'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Yanyu greeted happily: "Teacher, you have been in good health recently. ”

The old man shook his hand, "I'm old, not as tough as before." By the way, who are these three?" asked Canaan, looking at the strange three.

"These are three friends I have recently met, and they are from Songguo. Meng Yanyu briefly introduced.

"Hello old man, I'm Li Qiutong. ”

"I'm Yang Ruiyun. ”

"I'm Deng Zhanxuan. The three of them introduced themselves in turn.

"By the way, Master, do you know that Brother Li is the grandson of the Medicine Saint predecessor you once said. Ye Ling'er said happily to the master.

"What, don't talk nonsense, Lord Medicine Saint has never married, where did he come from. Canaan patted Ling'er's head, then stared at Li Qiutong with a sharp look in his eyes and asked, "Who are you, and what is the purpose of coming to Nanban?"

The scene was awkward for a while.

"Teacher, he," Meng Yanyu just wanted to step forward to explain, but was pulled by Li Qiutong, "I'll come." ”

Li Qiutong stepped forward, smiled and said slowly: "Don't worry, old man, we don't have any purpose, we just want to help Ah Yan." And my grandfather is indeed Li Baicao, but I am his adopted grandson. As he spoke, Li Qiutong took out a box from his bag, opened the box, and took out a silver needle, which was the token that Li Baicao had given him.

"This is something that my grandfather left me before he left, and it should prove my identity. ”

Canaan took the silver needle, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "This is the real jade needle!"

Gradually, the doubt in his eyes vanished, and was replaced by a kind of respect, a respect that was like faith.

However, Li Qiutong knew that it was not himself who he respected, but the silver needle in front of him, or the former owner of this needle, the medicine saint Li Baicao.

The old man carefully put the silver needle back in the box, and said in a deep voice, "Put it away, child." The Medicine Sage probably didn't tell you what this needle meant, so remember not to give it to anyone else in the future. ”

"Grandpa really didn't tell me what it was, just told me to pass it on to another person. Li Qiutong said truthfully.

"Master, what the hell is this needle, is it so valuable?" Ye Ling'er asked puzzled.

Canaan sighed and introduced: "The name of this needle is Jade Needle, which is taken from the 10,000-year-old cold iron of Zhenbei Pass, and is made by the medical saint Zhang Hua himself. Yang acupuncture, sexual strength, can suppress all the poison in the world, Yin acupuncture, sexual and slow, can mediate and reconcile all drugs in the world. At that time, Zhenbeiguan was ravaged by cold bone disease, and countless famous doctors went to treat it, but all of them returned in vain, including the medical saint who had the two divine needles, and there was nothing to be done, until the appearance of Master Li Baicao, he borrowed the yin needle of the medical saint and began his own research. After two years and two months, all the healers left, and only the Medicine Saint was still working hard. In the end, he succeeded, and no one knows how he did it. When the medical saint found out, he was extremely ashamed, so he directly gave the yin needle to the medicine saint, and since then there has been another doctor in the medical world who can be called holy. And the two divine needles are also regarded as the tokens of the medical saint and are worshiped by the world. Speaking of this, he looked at Li Qiutong, whose eyes were a little moist, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he continued: "It's a pity, later, I don't know why there was a reward order for the Medicine Saint on the rivers and lakes, and then, the Medicine Saint didn't even leave the prescription for cold bone disease, so he disappeared without a trace. Some say he was killed, others say he took refuge in a certain country and was hidden. At this point, all that Canaan knew had been said.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Li Qiutong, and Li Qiutong recalled with a smile: "Grandpa didn't die at the hands of the killer, he fled to the Song Kingdom, and lived in seclusion there, and I was also picked up by my grandfather there." We lived together in the deserted mountains, and every day we went up the mountain to collect medicines, grind them, listen to my grandfather's stories, and occasionally go down the mountains to the city to sell some medicines. Live happily. ”

Li Qiutong once again learned about his grandfather's experience, whether it was swearing to cure cold bone disease, or getting jade yin needles to ascend to the throne of medicine saint, these legendary experiences were all owned by the grandfather who had been taking care of his young self and would go to the market to sell medicine, he was so admirable and enviable, but unfortunately he could no longer confide in him.

Looking around at everyone, Meng Yanyu, Yang Ruiyun, and Deng Zhanxuan all remained silent, while Ye Ling'er's crystal tears had already slid down, and they were all shocked by the perseverance and ending of the Medicine Saint.

Li Qiutong rubbed his eyes, "Thank you for letting me know the story of my grandfather." ”

Canaan looked up at the young man in front of him and said in a kind tone, "Young man, I believe that the grandson of the Medicine Saint is a person with the same kindness, goals, and ideals as him. You have to work hard and don't disappoint the Medicine Saint. ”

"I will. ”

"I was a little excited today, so I said a little more. Canaan looked at this group of energetic young people, and his heart was full of relief.

"By the way, teacher, what happened to my father?" Meng Yanyu thought of the main purpose of this time at this time, and hurriedly asked.

After Meng Yanyu said it, Canaan came out of the memories of the Medicine Sage and said, "Ling'er told you something before, but that was my initial speculation, but yesterday when I was flipping through the medical books, I suddenly had a new idea. The chieftain's condition did not seem to be aggravated, but rather to be poisoned, and it was very much like a northern poison - blood poison. And the poisoning is deep. ”

"What then. Is my father still saved?" Meng Yanyu asked anxiously.

"Originally, with my ability, I wasn't too sure, but now that we have the grandson of the Medicine Saint, we can give it a try. Canaan looked at Li Qiutong and smiled confidently.

When they heard this, all of them, except for Canaan, who did not know it, sighed.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Qiutong looked at the scene and could only explain embarrassedly: "That Canaan master, I haven't learned much from my grandfather's medical skills, so I may not be able to help you." ”

"Are you kidding, how could the Medicine Saint not teach you medical skills?"

"Well, that's just the way it is. However, I have some notes that my grandfather asked me to hand over to his apprentice, I wonder if they are useful?" Li Qiutong said, and took out an old book from his bag.

The old man took Li Qiutong's book, opened it and looked at it briefly, and said in shock: "This is not just the notes of Lord Medicine Sage, these are his years of experience and experience." Saying that, he reluctantly returned the book to Li Qiutong and said, "This is the inheritance of the Medicine Saint, I can't peek at will, you can keep it." ”

Li Qiutong pushed the book back again and explained: "It's okay, old man, doesn't it matter if it doesn't save people, and I originally promised to lend the book to Ling'er for study, and grandpa definitely doesn't have any opinions." ”

Canaan turned his head to ask his apprentice, and after receiving confirmation, he slowly took the book again.

"We'll only look at the part about blood poison, and we won't see much of the rest. The old man said solemnly.

Seeing that he was so resolute, Li Qiutong couldn't say anything, so he could only let him.

There was nothing wrong with the poison, and Meng Yanyu asked another question: "Teacher, what's the matter with that Qin State's doctor, why did the eldest brother let him treat his father." ”

Canaan looked at Meng Yanyu and said in a serious tone: "Ah Yan, this matter is not simple, Meng Yanfeng definitely has no good intentions, this poison is nine times out of ten under the Qin State doctor, and it is impossible for Meng Yanfeng not to know." ”

"How could the eldest brother do such a thing, I'm going to ask him. ”

Ye Ling'er hurriedly grabbed him, "Ah Yan, you haven't returned to the tribe, Brother Yanfeng is no longer the same as before." He has been oppressing people lately, making weapons in large quantities, and even the guards are under his control. You can't let him know you're back, otherwise,"

"Otherwise, he could still kill me. ”

Canaan also said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily, now Meng Yanfeng controls the power of the tribe, even if he kills you, no one dares to say anything." ”

"But, big brother, he ......" Meng Yanyu still wanted to explain, but the two people he trusted the most said so, and he had no confidence.

Seeing that Meng Yanyu had calmed down, Canaan continued: "The purpose of asking Ling'er to bring you back is to let you go to see the elders, and as a member of the Meng clan, I asked them to come out to administer justice, not for you to question Meng Yanfeng. ”

"However, without evidence, how could those old fellows believe me, let alone because of my mother's affairs, they are still disgusted with me, how can they help me. ”

Meng Yanyu's words also made Canaan fall into deep thought, before he only considered that the elders would come out to administer justice for the safety of the chief, but he ignored the contradiction between them and Meng Yanyu.

"Although I don't know the contradiction between you, I have an idea, that is, Ah Yan and I sneak into that place first tonight to find out the truth, and the old gentleman will get the antidote as soon as possible, as long as Ah Yan's father can be cured, I believe that Ah Yan's eldest brother will not dare to say anything. Li Qiutong stepped forward and put forward his own ideas.

"Brother Tong is right, I think it's feasible. Meng Yanyu nodded and said,

"Now it can only be like this, Ling'er, come here, we will develop the antidote as soon as possible. ”

"Big brother, why don't I go with you. Yang Ruiyun looked at the two and said.

Li Qiutong said with a smile: "Second brother, it's okay, you and the third brother stay here and protect the old man and Ling'er." ”

"Okay, big brother, be careful. ”

The two of them changed into the night clothes that they had fallen from the killer today, and took advantage of the night to march towards the Meng Mansion.
