(727) Medicine Valley Smudge
- Yan Xingzhi raised her head, her eyes were still gloomy, and she had a new trace of doubt.
Because he could hear from Liao Shi's tone that they seemed to be really waiting for someone or something, but this was before leaving, Liao Shi told him many details about the long journey, and made sufficient preparations for the trek, but the only thing he deliberately omitted was not told.
And it seems that as long as they wait for this person or thing that is also waiting for them, it will be of great help to their situation of carrying a heavy burden at the moment.
"What are you waiting for?" Yan Xingzhi couldn't help but ask, and unconsciously, he stopped.
"Tell you to wait, you wait." Liao Shi also paused slightly, and suddenly had a mysterious smile on his face, still refusing to explain his words, "However, it's not that you are told to wait where you are, we still have to continue to move forward." ”
"Oh......" Yan Xingzhi ran two steps fast and kept up with Liao Shi's pace.
Although he could obviously see that the old pharmacist had something to hide and refused to explain it quickly, he knew very well that although the old pharmacist had a withdrawn personality and spoke ugly, he would not even have bad thoughts towards strangers, let alone treat him, a little follower of the medicine boy who had been officially recognized. If you don't say it, you won't say it, and it won't get in anyone's way anyway.
Yan Xingzhi is just sick physically, as a descendant of a famous medical family, he has been cultivated by the family's dogma since he was a child, and the good character he has created will not change lightly because of his physical illness. He was not a frizzy person, and the old pharmacist finally admitted to taking him as a medicine boy, which made him confident in his "entanglement" formula. I don't know today, he will find a way to take advantage of the old pharmacist's good mood to ask questions again another day, and he will definitely be rewarded.
Looking at Yan Xingzhi's thoughtful appearance, Liao Shi's heart moved, and he wanted to ask him what little idea he was working on, but the words changed again, and he just said in a very casual tone: "Four hundred miles is Lin Shan suing you?"
"Yes......" Yan Xingzhi nodded without thinking, but he quickly seemed to understand something else from Liao Shi's words, and immediately asked again: "Isn't it?"
"Huh." Liao Shigan laughed.
Originally, he didn't want to say anything more about this matter, but when he thought of Lin Shan, he had finally been deceived by himself. He was a little proud. At this time, only the orangutan regretted that his beard was not long enough, otherwise he would say the next words while brushing his beard, and he would definitely be able to grow in front of this newly acquired little medicine boy.
"If you want to get rid of the people he sent to follow you, it's not enough to have four hundred miles." Liao Shi let go of the hand pressed on the heavy medicine box on his chest, touched the short beard under his chin, which was only half a finger long, and said slowly, "But if I tell him that it will take eight hundred and thirty miles to return to the valley, he will definitely know immediately that I am lying to him." ”
"Huh? Four hundred miles is fake?" Yan Xingzhi looked at the rickety old man with extremely surprised eyes, and was stunned for a moment. He suddenly shook his head again and said, "Eight hundred and thirty miles." You tell me. I wouldn't think it's true either. ”
"It's... Hey......" Liao Shi almost admitted that eight hundred and thirty miles was a reliable distance, but his words were cut off by himself after only one word. He wasn't sure if he would take this Yan family's only grandson back to Medicine Valley for the second time, so it would be useless to talk about it.
He only paused slightly. casually perfunctory: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how long the road is."
Yan Xingzhi pursed his lips deeply and thought for a moment, he gave up asking Liao Shi "why doesn't it matter", but said seriously: "Mr. Lin wants to give us a ride, which is also a good intention, pharmacist, it is not right for you to lie to him."
Liao Shi smiled disapprovingly when he heard this, and said lightly: "If you can only refuse a person by deception, how will you choose?"
Yan Xingzhi did not answer. I just wondered: "Why do you have to refuse, isn't it acceptable?" Mr. Lin doesn't want to throw you a fireball, he just wants to send a few guards to escort you for a while, and you don't need to take care of the food. ”
"You don't know what kind of place Medicine Valley is, so you can speak openly about this evil." Liao Shi sighed softly. "If he sends men to escort me, he will surely send his most handy men. Of course, I believe that these subordinates will be able to escort them safely, but I can't guarantee their return, and I can protect you alone at most. This way back, it's not that I can't go by myself without those few guards to give me a ride, so why let him lose his most powerful subordinates. ”
Liao Shi's master has only been stored in the ears of the world, and no one has ever been able to accurately say the specific location of this place.
Even if some of the false addresses are popular, they will soon be exposed. Because there are still quite a few individuals or organizations who want to find the medicine valley and destroy it, as long as they really go out to investigate, they will find out which claims are false. But despite this, no one can strip the real result just by ruling out false rumors.
Of course, there are still a few medical students who want to learn from their teachers without fear of hardships and dangers, but in addition to the hidden address, even the recruitment of people in the medicine valley does not seem to be an open way. In addition to Liao Shi, who also left some footprints in the world, the demon doctor who was falsely rumored to be more exaggerated, specializing in alchemy, and even specializing in refining hidden puppets as his daily pleasure, has never been seen by anyone with the seclusion of Medicine Valley.
Hearing Liao Shi personally mention the horror of Medicine Valley again, but not saying what the specific horror is, Yan Xingzhi squinted, and a question that had been entrenched for a long time in his heart also popped up again, but it was not a hidden puppet legend that the world was most concerned about.
After enduring it for a while, Yan Xingzhi finally couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Pharmacist, I have heard rumors from others for a long time that the Medicine Valley has been immersed in a poisonous mist all year round. Even if anyone just enters by mistake and doesn't know that it is the Medicine Valley, they will be killed by those poisonous mists. Is that really the case?"
※※※※※※
On the small mountain parallel to the dirt road that extends from the entrance of the town's torii, the forest cedar riding on horseback looks down the mountain.
There was no rain for many days, and the empty dirt road reflected the grayish-white color of the dry sand in the sun. On the road, an old man and a young man suddenly took a few steps away from their bodies, and suddenly approached side by side, and their walking speed was also fast and slow. When the young and old looked at each other, their lips opened and closed from time to time, without a long pause, as if discussing a more important issue.
However, with the distance of Lin Shan, not only could he not hear what the two people were saying on the dirt road a hundred paces away, but it was impossible to even capture the shape of his mouth to read the words.
After condensing his gaze towards the two people at the bottom of the mountain for a while, Lin Shan withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
Looking sideways at Chen Jiu, who was riding a horse beside him, he remembered the question she had just asked, and after hesitating for a while, he finally chose to answer: "The hidden puppet is indeed a thing, but the reason for the trouble of the medicine valley is not only this."
Originally, Chen Jiu saw that Lin Shan didn't speak for a long time, thinking that the matter he asked caused him to be displeased. and they were not prepared to receive an answer. However, not only did she get an echo at this moment, but she also saw Lin Shan's answer so directly, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Putting Lin Shan's words in his mind and repeating them, to make sure that he had heard correctly, Chen Jiu couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's hard to imagine that the pharmacist's sect is such a terrible place."
Lin Shan pondered for a moment, and then said, "Liao Shi left the Medicine Valley almost thirty years ago, and after seven years, there were rumors in the world that the demon doctor was refining the hidden puppet. Liao Shi quietly went back to the Medicine Valley to make sure that his crazy junior brother was indeed evil. It's just a slight departure from the rumors. The puppet child was picked up from the refugees who fled the famine. ”
The surprised expression on Chen Jiu's face narrowed slightly. But she still firmly believed that Lian Yin Puppet was doing evil, and immediately argued: "Refugees are also human beings, and even if those children starve to death in a disaster year, it is better than being tortured." Lives in human form. ”
In fact, it is also true that it is a sin to test medicine on a living person, for whatever reason.
"Now that the hidden puppet has been refined, there is no room for manoeuvre in this matter." Lin Shan looked at the old wine, his eyes softened.
He knew that women had motherhood, and he couldn't see his filial son suffer. Even if Chen Jiu scolded Yaogu in front of him for a few words, and scolded Liao Shi with him, he would not be angry at her. Let alone...... It would have been a big mistake for Medicine Valley to do this kind of thing. There is no reason to explain.
When he saw that the anger on Chen Jiu's face had receded slightly, he slowly explained: "The Medicine Valley is secluded in the mountains, and there is no chance to meet refugees, but Liao Shi's junior brother also came out of the Medicine Valley that year, just to find him. I didn't expect that the person I was looking for later didn't find it. But he took a few and went back. ”
Chen Jiu said suspiciously: "It turns out that the rumored demon doctor has never been out of the Medicine Valley."
"That's just the time I came out." Lin Shan Wen Yan continued, "As soon as the rumors of the hidden puppet came out, Liao Shi returned to the Medicine Valley, in order to dissuade his junior brother. Since then, his junior brother has never left the Medicine Valley, and of course he will no longer arrest people to enter the Valley to refine puppets. Liao Shi agreed with his junior brother that he would return to the Medicine Valley once a year, as long as his junior brother could settle down. ”
Chen Jiu's puzzled expression on his face became even heavier, and he couldn't help asking, "Is such a ruthless and terrible person also afraid of loneliness?" Do you want his junior brother to go back and spend a few days with him every year?"
Lin Shan didn't answer immediately, but just asked: "If you have enough food and keep making wine, but no one comes to drink it, and your love for wine makes you still can't help but continue brewing, until the house is full of wine, and even new varieties are produced, but still no one comes to drink, how would you feel?"
Chen Jiu muttered thoughtfully, "That's indeed a bit lonely."
"So Liao Shi goes back to Medicine Valley once a year, although it is true that he is to accompany his junior brother for a few days, but the content of his companionship is not a happy and leisurely thing such as hand talking, fishing, and drinking, but fighting medicine." Lin Shan sighed lightly, "His junior brother is even more ruthless with poisonous methods, if he walks out of the valley, he is almost a strange person who will not be tolerated by the world." ”
Listening to Lin Shan's words all the way to this, Chen Jiu faintly realized a strict question, his eyes shrank slightly, and he asked softly: "As far as you know, Liao Shi or his junior brother, who has more poison?"
Lin Shan heard Chen Jiu's worry, but his expression eased, and said gently: "These two people are both invincible to poison, even if anyone is heavier, at most lying down for a few days, it is impossible to harm their lives." No one in the Medicine Valley goes without medicine for a day, and poison is to the two of them like we touch food every day. ”
Chen Jiu suddenly said: "Is it that they are poisoned by their own medicine, just like ordinary people choking on eating and eating are almost the same, let them rest for a few days without eating, it is naturally better?"
Lin Shan couldn't help but stagnate when he heard this, then laughed and said: "Almost, it can only be said that it is almost, it is better to eat less at night, although it is not invaded by a hundred poisons, it is just a flesh body."
Chen Jiu raised his hand and raised two fingers, covered his lips and smiled.
Lin Shan smiled and looked at her for a moment, and then looked sideways at the dirt road, and could vaguely see that the old and the young on the road were still talking about something.
Liao Shi didn't really tell him the specific location of the medicine valley until the day before he set off, but he still knew the general direction, so he found someone to investigate and arrange a route for him.
At this time, seeing that Liao Shi and Yan Xingzhi were still walking unhurriedly, as if they were just wandering around a certain scenic spot, and there was not much hurry, Lin Shan was very worried that when it got dark, they might not be able to go to the next town in the established route to rest.
And if he could hear clearly the distance between the old and the young just mentioned, it is estimated that he would not only not be worried, but would also be a little annoyed.
※※※※※※
Regarding the question about the poisonous mist of the Medicine Valley, after listening to the personal explanation of the heirs of the Medicine Valley, Yan Xingzhi was so surprised that he opened his mouth and forgot to speak.
Liao Shi looked at him and just added: "I made an exception to tell you this big secret, you can't just say it!" If others find out and spread the word, the medicine valley will suffer! ”
Yan Xingzhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course I won't say it, otherwise Medicine Valley will not be a secret."
"You kid, you really have a simple heart, and you think about Medicine Valley so quickly." Liao Shi felt a hint of joy in his heart, but the more he saw Yan Xing's heart towards the Medicine Valley, the more he suddenly felt that he should remind this young man of something, so he said solemnly: "Since you have heard the rumors of the poisonous mist, of course you will not have heard the rumors of the hidden puppet, why don't you ask about this matter later, for fear of upsetting me?"
Regarding the choice of these two issues, Yan Xingzhi did consider avoiding the important in front of Liao Shi. Suddenly, when he heard Liao Shi mention this matter himself, he was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know whether to continue to avoid the important and light.
The rumor of refining the hidden puppet is almost a stained hat that exterminates humanity in the drug delivery valley. Now that he is almost half of the heir of the Medicine Valley, it will always be a little inappropriate to talk about this matter in front of the old pharmacist as a junior, right?
"Alas......" Liao Shi sighed, and said with a deep sense of melancholy in his tone: "This is the most criticized and most difficult stain in the Medicine Valley. But I'm going to take you to Medicine Valley now, even if you don't ask about this matter, I'm going to sue you, so that you can take precautions in advance, and you can be less uncomfortable when you arrive at Medicine Valley. ”-
