Hidden in the mountains, the road to the valley is so rugged and so rugged that it can be said to be isolated, and few outsiders have set foot in this paradise for years. Because it is surrounded by mountains and low-lying terrain, the cold winter always comes very late. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the valley is still warm like spring and the flowers are blooming. As soon as Xia Xue'er arrived, she was like a bird escaping from a cage, and she was excited. Sometimes wandering in the sea of flowers, sometimes frolicking on the banks of streams, sometimes exploring in the green forest...... However, she didn't just return to Netherworld Valley this time to play, there was also something more important - to restore martial arts! In the past few days, Xia Xue'er has seen a lot of uncles and uncles who have traveled all over the world all the year round, and heard Xianglan say that these people were urgently recalled by Shizun, the purpose is to find out the reason for her martial arts loss, so as to find the best and fastest way to restore her skills.

In the evening, Xia Xue'er sat quietly at the entrance of the netherworld cave and admired the sunset, and suddenly asked Xianglan behind her: "Xianglan, is the master so good to every disciple under the sect?" ”

Xianglan looked at Xia Xue'er's unfazed side face, and didn't know why she said this, but she couldn't capture her feelings, so she could only smile and reply, "How can it?" There are thousands of disciples in the valley, and there are only 782 resident disciples, if the master is as worried about everyone as he is about the young lady, then he will not be alive! ”

"That's right." Xia Xue'er nodded, looking thoughtfully at the sun gradually sinking in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun stained the entire sky red, and also plated the mountains with a layer of soft light.

Xia Xue'er is not the only female disciple in the valley, there are even more people who are better than her, but Zhen Tianxiong only accepts her as a true disciple. If Shizun only accepted her as a true inheritance after seeing her extraordinary martial arts talent, it would be reasonable, but Xia Xue'er was taken under the door by Zhen Tianxiong when she was still a child who didn't know anything, which couldn't help but make her wonder. How can Xia Mansion say that it is also a well-known family in the capital, how can the daughter of such a family be a true disciple of the head of the power of the rivers and lakes, and is also known as a martial arts genius with the most potential to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance? What was it that allowed her to achieve such a prestigious dual status? Although she had only been to the Netherworld Valley twice and had not stayed for a long time, she always felt that her master treated her more than her father, and she always felt that the relationship between him and her was far more than a loving teacher and a beloved disciple.

Xia Xue'er said to herself: "I hope I think too much." ”

At this moment, a white-robed little junior brother ran over, bowed to Xia Xue'er and said, "Senior sister, the third senior uncle asked you to go to the medicine house immediately." ”

The third uncle, the famous poison saint Zhang Tianyu in the rivers and lakes, is good at using poison and is also proficient in the preparation of various antidotes, it is said that as long as he takes a look at the poisoner, he can immediately tell what poison is in the patient and what is the solution. Perennial wandering outside, his personality is quirky and arrogant, and few people in the world have seen his true face, even the disciples in the Netherworld Valley are no exception, and this time he returned to the valley because he received a recall order issued by Zhen Tianxiong. But Xia Xue'er is strange in this poison, the third uncle locked himself in the house to meditate and consult all kinds of information, and there has been no news for three days, and now he is suddenly summoned, is there a result? Xia Xue'er didn't dare to slack off, and while guessing in her heart, she rushed down the mountain towards the medicine house. Pushing open the door, Shizun was also in the house, and the two were talking, Xia Xue'er bowed and saluted: "The apprentice visits Shizun and the third uncle." ”

When Zhen Tianxiong saw that it was Xia Xue'er standing at the door, he immediately said in a loving tone: "You are here, come in." ”

Xia Xue'er turned around and closed the door, and walked into the house respectfully, "The master urgently summoned the apprentice to come, isn't it the poison in the apprentice's eyebrows?" ”

Zhen Tianxiong stroked his beard and replied, "That's probably it, your third uncle just found a teacher, and you arrived before you could tell me." ”

"After a few days of research, the old man finally found that the poison you had before was the first of the long-lost poisons on the rivers and lakes, this poison originated from Miaojiang, and it disappeared in the Central Plains thirty years ago, and it reappeared again for some reason."

Zhen Tianxiong muttered suspiciously: "Thirty years ago? What is so poisonous? ”

Zhang Tianyu turned his head to look at Zhen Tianxiong and said, "This poisonous senior brother knows. ”

Zhen Tianxiong was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes widened and he looked at the third uncle and asked, "Could it be the rotten bone devouring heart poison that killed the former martial arts alliance leader?" ”

Zhang Tianyu nodded and replied, "I don't think it should be wrong." This poison is not called 'rotten bone devouring heart poison', it has a very nice name called 'blue iris', this poison originates from Miao Jiang, it is a poisonous Gu raised with the blood of a child to the yin with more than 100 kinds of precious poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers grinding, steaming for 7749 days, the prepared poison presents an extremely bewitching blue powder and has a faint iris fragrance, but after encountering the liquid, it will become colorless and tasteless, and can blend with water and wine, so it is difficult to be found. The poisoned person will be poisoned within an hour, and it only takes seven days to gradually decay from the internal organs to the bones until it becomes a pool of blood, during which the poisoned person will be very painful, and life is worse than death, but this poison can protect the heart of the poisoned person so that it cannot commit suicide, and there is no other way to die except for gradually melting from the inside out, so the outside world calls it 'rotten bone devouring heart poison', and there are also calls it 'Hades'. ”

Hearing this, Xia Xue'er swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

Zhang Tianyu paused and said: "But if there is a knot in everything, there is a solution, and the same is true for using poison." Although this poison is called the first of the strange poisons, it is so terrifying, but it is not a perfect killing move. "Rotten bones and heart" will invade the blood vessels after entering the human body, and then reach the whole body with the flow of the person's blood, as long as the poisoned person can be found within a quarter of an hour after poisoning and immediately block the whole body veins, the poison can be forced out with internal strength, but the poison is very camouflaged and not easy to be detected, so this method requires the internal force of the poisoned person to be more than two nails to be feasible, and even if the poisonous internal force is forced out, it will be counterattacked, so that the power is completely lost, and there is no trace to follow afterwards. From various symptoms, it is shown that Xue'er has been poisoned, but the only thing I am not sure about now is that Xue'er is still young, although she has practiced martial arts since childhood, she will not reach the internal strength of two Jiazi, so further research is needed. ”

The whole body trembled, but he desperately suppressed the anger in his chest, closed his eyes and said, "No need to be researching, Xue'er does have the internal force of two nails." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Xue'er and the third uncle looked at Zhen Tianxiong together, the former was puzzled, and the latter was shocked! Xia Xue'er not only has amnesia but is not a person of this era, of course she doesn't know what the internal strength of the two Jiazi means, but from the previous words of the third uncle, she can also guess that the internal strength of these two Jiazi is definitely not trivial, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate. Zhang Tianyu is a person in the martial arts, of course, he knows the meaning of this, but after being shocked, he immediately regained his calm, and his heart was slightly sour, no wonder he hadn't seen him for several years, not only did not go to the next level, but it was much worse than before, did this girl really make him so disregardful? He loves Wu and Wu, even if he is not his own child, but he loves her more than he loves his own child, which he really can't compare.

After a long time, Zhang Tianyu slowly spoke: "Senior brother, is it worth it for you to do this?" ”

Zhen Tianxiong opened his eyes, and there was no thick murderous aura in his eyes, replaced by a calm pond of water, bottomless. He looked up and said: "Only whether it should be or not, whether it is worth it or not, I have not regretted what I did in the past." ”

"It's been twenty years, and you haven't put it down."

"Didn't you put it down too?"

The room was silent for a while, Xia Xue'er could feel the relief of the third uncle and the open-mindedness of the master, but both of them had a little helplessness on their faces, and they couldn't get rid of it.

What did they not put down? Does it have anything to do with her Xia Xue'er?

Zhen Tianxiong took a deep breath, broke the silence in the room again, and asked, "You just said, is there any possibility of recovery?" ”

Zhang Tianyu sighed, thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, there has never been a case of recovery, but I don't rule out the possibility of being able to restore it, but after all, two Jiazi are not so simple." I will do my best to prescribe an auxiliary prescription, and after taking it once a day during the practice, it depends on the will of heaven whether I can recover or not. ”

Zhen Tianxiong smiled helplessly and said, "Providence? I never believed in providence, otherwise that wouldn't have happened back then, and we wouldn't have come this far! ”

Zhang Tianyu didn't answer his words, but said calmly: "Try your best no matter what." ”

Xia Xue'er never spoke, she didn't know what to say, her heart was very chaotic at the moment, she never thought that a fourteen-year-old girl would be so poisoned. Rotten bones devour hearts, what kind of grievances and hatreds will hate her to the bones and use such a tragic means? Until he dies of blood, it is really chilling! How did she return to the Netherworld Cave from the medicine house, she was unconscious, she only felt cold, her heart was cold, her whole body was cold, and even this warm place like spring seemed to have become a cold cellar in an instant.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Isn't this ice bed too cold? Xianglan looked at Xia Xue'er's trembling body lying on the thousand-year-old ice ice and was extremely worried, since her young lady came out of the medicine house, she had been in a haunted spirit, and others called her to ignore it, I really don't know what happened!

Xia Xue'er's body didn't move, her eyes stared at the murals in the cave, and she replied faintly: "It's not cold, I'm just a little scared suddenly." ”

"Afraid? What is Miss afraid of? ”

"Afraid of people's hearts."

"You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Miss doesn't have to worry about this, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and their plans are hidden in their hearts, so they can avoid it if they are afraid. ”

There was no voice for a while, and after a long time, Xia Xue'er came back to her senses and asked Xianglan, "Xianglan, when did you enter the Xia Mansion?" ”

"The slave maid entered the Xia Mansion when the young lady was less than five years old, and it was the valley owner who sent the slave maid to follow the young lady to protect the young lady's safety."

"So how did I behave in the past? Have you offended anyone? ”

"How can it be, Miss, you are kind-hearted, you have always treated people very well, and people up and down the house like you very much!"

Xia Xue'er said with a sad expression: "Really? So why do so many people still want my life? ”

Xianglan knew that Xia Xue'er was worried about the second miss murdering her before, in fact, even she didn't see that the second miss hated her young lady so deeply, and the two of them talked and laughed on weekdays, and in the eyes of outsiders, the second miss was a quiet and graceful woman, who knew that she had hidden such a heavy heart, and it was really a dog that could bite and not bark. He sighed in his heart and persuaded: "Second Miss, that's envy and jealousy, Miss, you have been loved by the old lady since you were a child, and you have lost the idea of being a concubine, why should Miss always take it to heart." ”

Xia Xue'er turned over and didn't speak again. Xia Qiaoyun is because she can't tell the difference between the dignity and inferiority of the concubine, what about the person who poisoned her? She couldn't tell what? The long-lost poison in the rivers and lakes, the terrifying rotten bones and heart-eating, who has such a great ability? What really makes her rotten bones is not the horror of the blue iris, but the secretiveness of the people around her, and the deliberate planning of the people close to her!
