At the top of Emei Peak, the simple and elegant building of Chime Xinju stands quietly on it.

Lu Wan was looking at the sunset in the distance at the moment, and the figure seemed to be about to melt into the golden light of the sunset.

"Wan'er! Do you still want to be a layman? The woman in white was still masked, falling from the sky and falling on the edge of the cliff and asked Lu Wan.

"Mother! I really want to be a layman, even if it is for the sake of the wooden fish, and also to cut off the pain in my heart. Lu Wan's face was full of resolute looks, although she was only fifteen years old, the expression on her face seemed to have experienced decades of vicissitudes of life.

It has been a month and a half since Shang Yu fell off the cliff, and the woman in white took her back to Emei Mountain a month ago, Lu Wan was very surprised by her mother's strange skills, but she was extremely depressed because of Shang Yu's death, and she didn't think to ask her mother.

Qi Xinju was founded in the early years of the Northern Han Dynasty, originally a place for some women who believed in Buddhism and did not want to cut their hair to practice incognito, this place was Li Yanhong's important place, Li Yanhong did not explain to Lu Wan the reason for the separation from Lu Weixuan, and Lu Wan did not ask.

If it weren't for her mother always by her side, Lu Wan would have committed suicide long ago, Shang Yu's words before throwing herself into the cliff rang in her ears all the time, making her unforgettable.

"Okay, since you insist on doing so, then the mother will also agree to your request, but you have to change your mother's surname to enter the door of Chi's heart, and you can't marry again, you can think about it again!" The woman in white had no wind on her face at this time, but her eyes flashed with concern and pity.

Shang Yu is dead, if it weren't for this, she Li Yanhong is the Minyue royal family, even if it is a thousand years later, she will not allow her daughter to marry a subordinate, but Lu Wan's body has been touched by Shang Yu, and according to the rules, she can't marry, Shen Fu's nephew took on the important task of rebuilding the Minyue Kingdom, but it was not yet the time for Shen Fu to know about it clearly.

"Mother! Unless Muyu is resurrected, Wan'er will never think about other men in this life. The daughter is willing to change her mother's surname. Lu Wan immediately replied affirmatively after hearing this, but a sad feeling arose in his heart.

I thought to myself, "Muyu! Have you really been eaten by wild beasts? You damn thief. ”

"Xiao Wan! My mother has some important things to tell you. Li Yanhong looked at Lu Wan with a soft gaze and said.

"Mother! Say, please. Lu Wan finally completely withdrew his gaze into the distance, forced the sad feeling in his heart to suppress himself, looked at his mother and said.

Li Yanhong had an obvious scar on the left side of her face, and she put a scarf on her face to cover it, but Lu Wan asked where the scar came from, but Li Yanhong refused to say it, but she had an extremely complicated expression on her face.

"Wan'er! My Li family is the surname of the former Tang Dynasty, originally the Minyue royal family, two hundred years ago by the business alliance in the iron shirt gate led the soldiers and horses to destroy the country, these two hundred years, the clan has been trying to restore the country to revenge, to a hundred years ago, after Meng Yuan entered the Central Plains, my Li family is hopeless to restore the country. ”

"Although there is no hope of recovering the country, the search for revenge on the Iron Shirt Gate cannot be stopped, so after learning that Lu Weixuan became the leader of the Business Alliance, Wei Niang continued to approach your father in various ways, so as to find the whereabouts of the Iron Shirt Gate, but at that time, my mother was still young, and she fell in love with your father and you, but later found that the Iron Shirt Gate had already parted ways with the Business Alliance!"

"I have a deep relationship with your father, and finally one day, I talked to your father about it in the Lu Mansion, but I didn't expect that there were still people left behind in the mansion by the Iron Shirt Gate, and they actually told me my identity."

"In Yunzhen Temple, when I went to incense with your father to make a vow, the people in the iron shirt finally started, my mother's martial arts skills were much worse than now, and your father was also beaten to serious internal injuries, and he has not recovered until now, but fortunately, the master rushed out from behind the temple to defeat the other party." She said that she was the old monk in the Yunzhen Temple.

"But my mother had to leave Quanzhou Mansion because of a letter, that is, because your grandfather was seriously ill that year, and the Iron Shirt Gate also left that letter, if I continue to stay in Quanzhou and contact the Shang Alliance, I will kill your father and you, in desperation, my mother left from Quanzhou, went to the north to see your grandfather, but when I returned home, I found that your grandfather had died tragically under the hands of the Iron Shirt, and your aunt had married into the Shen family and survived!"

"After several people attacked my mother, my mother's skills are not as good as people, not to mention that there are many people on the other side, seeing that I am invincible, my master finally appeared, she is the head of the current Chixin Residence, Du Qingxuan, she saved me and took me back to the master."

"Over the years, my mother has gone to practice martial arts, that is, Quanzhou Mansion to visit you and your father, but I always take a look at it in secret, the iron shirt door for more than ten years, there is no news, I want to entrust you to your ancestor, and then my mother wants to go down the mountain! If you can't take revenge, then the hard work of the mother for more than ten years is not only in vain, but also sorry for the ancestors of the Li family! ”

When Li Yanhong said this, a trace of tears flashed in her eyes, and these things that had been hidden in her heart for many years were finally said, which made her feel a sense of weakness and relief.

"Mother! It turns out that you didn't come to see me all these years for the safety of me and my father, so why did my father go out all the year? Lu Wan temporarily forgot about Shang Yu and asked with some curiosity.

"Your father was looking for strange people in various branches of the business alliance to replace him, one was looking for the holy hand of medicine to heal his internal injuries, and then there was the news of his mother everywhere, which made you feel that he didn't care about you, every time my mother heard that you were messing around in Quanzhou Mansion, my mother was very sad in my heart, and my mother was very sorry for you this year!" Li Yanhong stepped forward and hugged her daughter into her arms, and the tears on her face couldn't stop flowing.

Lu Wan's extreme personality was caused by the loss of her parents' love, and she kept messing around in order to attract people's attention, and wanted more people to comfort her, take care of her, and accompany her.

But most of the people in the house are subordinates, and Lu Weixuan is often not in the house, in order to keep his daughter from being bullied, he also issued a clause that if the people in the house go against her, even those aunts will be driven out, and Lu Wan's second uncle is just a fun-loving son, and he doesn't care about this niece at all, which is also one of the reasons why Lu Wan's nonsense style is getting worse.

Fortunately, Shang Yu appeared in front of her when she was five or six years old, and at the same age, Lu Wan had an inexplicable affection for Shang Yu, which would continue to tease Shang Yu to attract his attention, and as she grew older, she gradually had a deeper emotion for Shang Yu, which was also her idea when she splashed water on Shang Yu when she was in Lu's warehouse.

"Mother! Do you know how much I have missed you in the past ten years, and even many people have been accompanied by their fathers and mothers! But I am the second lady of Lu Mansion, but I have never been accompanied by my mother, the eldest sister married in Yunnan when I was six years old, and she hates you for taking away her mother's status in the eyes of her father, never ignoring me, the only thing I look forward to over the years is to be with my mother! Lu Wan hugged her mother and cried, and the grievances of more than ten years were finally completely outward.

"Mother knows! Niang's current martial arts skills are definitely in the top ten in the Central Plains, so this time I will send you to the division, and my mother is also relieved! This time I'm going to go down the mountain to find the enemy, and then I'll invite your father back to Emei! At this time, the Lu family has fallen into the hands of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and my mother can't help but do these things, good daughter, don't cry! My mother will take you to meet your ancestor immediately, and she will definitely send someone to take good care of you. ”

While talking, the mother and daughter cried for a long time before they each wiped away the tears on their faces, Li Yanhong took Lu Wan into her arms, her figure floated up, and she flew towards the Chime Xinju not far away.

"Sir! The little brother said that he would start roasting medicine immediately tonight, making many strange items in the blacksmith shop, and bought more than ten purple sand pots in the market, and urged me to buy dozens of catties of pear charcoal, which looks very troublesome! The official surnamed Zhou said with an expression of admiration on his face.

"Oh! Strange items? What are they? Ge Ribu Subarcher was wearing a silk robe and sat on top of the soft collapse, and several concubines beside him were busy rubbing the fat all over his body for him, which made him squint his eyes and asked, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange after hearing the words of the official surnamed Zhou.

"Sir! Not to mention the many strange objects, he also ordered several blacksmiths to make hundreds of steel needles! It is said that it is used for roasting medicine, but I have never heard of this method of making medicines. At that time, the little one asked him, but he said that it was used to hold pills, which could suppress the aura of medicine, and I didn't know if what he said was true or not. ”

"When I came out of him just now, he had already made two strange stoves out of those strange things, saying that he could send out the most uniform fire to bake medicine, sir, is this how the Suicao clan refines medicine?" When the official surnamed Zhou said this, he couldn't help blinking his eyes, what Shang Yu did really made him very surprised, to make special stoves, they were all composed of many parts of fine iron, and they also had to use many needles made of stainless steel, which was difficult for him to understand at all.

"What? Needing to use up a lot of steel needles? I've never heard of this before, so he quickly took me to his pharmacy room to see it. Gřibsu Balcher couldn't sit still any longer, and pushed away several concubines around him with some difficulty, slowly sat up straight, and slowly wanted to get up.

"Sir! I'm here to help you. The official surnamed Zhou stepped forward obediently and hurriedly helped the county lord to get up.

"Weird! What does he want to do with so many iron tools and hundreds of steel needles? You don't have to help the officer, you lead the way. Ge Ribu Subarcher glared suspiciously, and pushed up the hand of the Kai Zhou surnamed Ya Di and said.

"Yes! Master. The official surnamed Zhou immediately said with a smile.

A spacious room, this is a well-ventilated room specially prepared by the county lord at the request of Shang Yu, there are several curved exhaust bamboo pipes on the top of the room, the room is not too cold, and it is not afraid of smoke.

Shang Yu was busy setting up the seventeenth iron stove, and those steel needles were evenly cushioned between the purple clay pot and the stove on the side of each stove, there were switches that could be opened and closed between the stoves, and the charcoal inside had also emitted red fire, and the tips of the steel needles had also become red, which could be seen clearly with the naked eye.

The pot also began to emit a strong smell of medicine, and it also emitted steam in the air holes at the top of the casserole.

"I didn't expect that there are such good Shouwu and Aoki lotus seeds in the pharmacy in Yongchuan County, not only are they weighed in catties, but also Shouwu has been formed for 500 years! All I had to do was make the worst part of the medicine and give it to the fat pig. ”

"The rest of the land can be made into medicines with different curative effects, and the most practical one is to supplement my body's current lack of energy, which is the most effective medicine, as long as it is made according to the several prescriptions left for me by the master." Shang Yu looked at the fire in the furnace, and his face showed a hint of pride.

After the official surnamed Zhou went out, he immediately drove out the people who helped him dispose of the medicine in the medicine jar, and he easily achieved his goal on the grounds that the pharmaceutical process was inconvenient for people to watch.

After driving people out, he has successfully assembled the newly made crossbow bow, and the parts are quite well matched, this time after loading the steel needles, he can shoot fifteen steel needles in succession, but the distance must not be far, but there will still be extremely strong lethality within two or three zhang.

After having the weapon, he reassembled the flying grab, which was the item he needed to escape if necessary, and at this time, in addition to being a little worried about meeting Lu Cai, he also had some confidence in his heart.

"After practicing the medicine, I will take some of these pills that can heal injuries, and my strength will recover a little! After getting the guide, after going out for 200 miles, you can leave the official road and rush to Nanping by the short road, and you will be able to rush to the north as soon as possible. ”

But when Shang Yu thought of this, tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, and he thought in his heart: "Is the news about the place where my parents had an accident true or false?" Will I lose my parents after I lose Wan'er? How did Daddy get stuck in quicksand? How could my mother's boat encounter a tornado? How could things be so coincidental? For a while, there was a trace of pain in his head, and he couldn't help but slowly carry a bamboo chair and sit in the room, and for a while recalled the time he spent with his father.

"Little Brother Mu, the master came to see you for medicine, why don't you hurry up and greet you?" At this time, the voice of the official surnamed Zhou suddenly came.

"Not good! When the fat pig official comes, he must not worry about my utensils, come to watch! I'll have to be careful. Shang Yu immediately thought in his heart.

Hearing that the voice was not far from the door, he hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and quickly rubbed his cheeks to make his expression relax, and then promised: "Mu Yu will come immediately." ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps to open the door, and when he walked out of the door, he bowed down and saluted Gribusu Balcher, who had approached, and said, "Lord of the county government! Please come into the house, you came just in time, the villain still has a very important thing to talk to the master, and you don't need to be disturbed by the villain at this moment. ”

"I heard that you have used a lot of steel needles for medicine, and this official has never heard of this! So I came here to take a look, this unprecedented pharmaceutical method is really the first time I've heard of it, Brother Mu, can you let this official take a look? Ge Ribu Subalche snorted coldly and asked, his face was full of doubts, the Yuan court had extremely strict control over iron tools, if it weren't for the official surnamed Zhou who took Shang Yu to go, the blacksmith of the blacksmith shop would have been killed and would not dare to make such a large number of iron tools for Shang Yu privately.

Hearing what the other party said, Shang Yu immediately said with a smile on his face: "My lord, this is the method of the Qiang people's special spike grass, Shou Wu and ginseng are also things with aura, if you use purple gold needles to select medicines, it is the best, but Yongchuan never has such a large amount of purple gold, so the villain dares to use steel needles instead, which will not make the medicine aura dissipate, but also leave a set of pharmaceutical equipment for adults as a souvenir." This is a piece of the villain's heart! ”

"Oh? I see, purple gold and stainless steel needles are both things that calm the spirit, and I have heard of the saying that locking the aura, but I didn't expect it to be so! It is rumored that Mu's pharmaceutical method is extremely special, you can actually be willing to give this set of equipment to this official after the pharmacy, this gift is not light! Most of the doubts in Gřibsubalcher's heart immediately dissipated.

"Where, sir! This kind of utensils for making holy medicine need to be enshrined after being used once, which can bless the county government to eliminate all diseases in their lifetime, which is the tradition of our people for many years, and the adults do not know that it is also a reason to be in place. Shang Yu couldn't help but feel relieved and said.

"Oh! It turns out that there are such benefits, but I don't know why you put these steel needles in these stoves and roast them? Gřibsu Balcher puffed up his stomach and asked as if he looked at the steel needles placed on the seventeen stoves with a fat face as wide as an iron pot.

"Lord of the county government, the reason for roasting with fire is that when the medicine is boiled to viscous, take off the pot and needles, and use these steel needles to throw them into the pot when they are not cool, which can quickly make the medicine in the pot gather and air dry, and can also lock the aura and maintain the efficacy of the medicine!"

"Due to the different types of medicines, the size of the stove and purple clay pot used for these medicines and the boiling time are also different, and after another two quarters of an hour, the Aoki lotus seeds will be ready, you can wait here for a while! The villain will then talk to you about the wonderful use of these steel needles that have gathered the aura of the medicine. This is the secret of the clan, you and Lord Yacha must not spread it! Shang Yu said solemnly, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Even he didn't believe his nonsense, but he had to explain solemnly to the fat pig county magistrate, so as to hide the use of the steel needle.

"Oh! It's really amazing that there is such a way to pay attention to medicine! This official has really increased his knowledge, duh! Zhou Fujiu, where did you kid become a bullshit adult? In the future, Brother Mu doesn't have to call him an adult, what kind of adult is something that doesn't even have a grade? Remember, if the word that Brother Mu said today spreads, the official will order someone to cut off your tongue. Ge Ribu Subarcher immediately glanced at the officials surnamed Zhou around him with disdain.

The official surnamed Zhou trembled, and immediately agreed.

Seeing the expression of the official surnamed Zhou, Ge Ribu Subarche nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can tell me how to use these steel needles in your clan?" ”

Shang Yu immediately began to say something that even he didn't believe, especially when he buried those steel needles under the foundation of the house, which could play a role in suppressing ghosts, Shang Yu wanted to smack himself several times.

But the more bizarre Shang Yu said, the more this Ge Ribu Subarcher nodded again and again, praising the Mu clan people for being different from others, and the medicine making utensils could be so wonderful, it was simply similar to the ancient immortal alchemy refining tools.

After nearly two quarters of an hour, Shang Yu said: "County master, my Mu Clan's Spike Grass technique was originally taught by the ancient immortals, but it is a long time, and what I have learned is only a skin, and after I can turn back to the capital, in order to thank you for taking care of the villain, I will definitely give the Sect Master of Spike Grass to make a batch of drugs with stronger medicinal effects for you, which can make your life expectancy multiply." ”

After hearing this, Ge Ribu Subalcher was immediately overjoyed, and when he heard what Shang Yu said, he couldn't wait to leave Yongchuan County, and immediately went to Dadu with Shang Yu to obtain the elixir that increased his lifespan, but now he had to guard against the Quanzhou Semu Volunteers and maintain local law and order, but he couldn't get out.

He immediately stood up with great difficulty, shook his fat and said, "Brother Mu! Thank you, when these medicines are ready, this official will immediately send ten elite soldiers to escort you back to Dadu. ”

This time, he called Shang Yu from Little Brother Mu to Brother Mu, and now he is called Brother Mu, and he is almost sent to Shang Yu to be promoted to the next generation.

Shang Yu complained bitterly in his heart after hearing this, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only bow down and say, "Thank you, my lord, that Aoki lotus seed should have been boiled at this moment, you can watch me condense its medicine immediately." ”

At that moment, he walked to a stove, took off the purple casserole, and opened the lid, a white mist rose, Shang Yu quickly put the steel needle placed on the stove into a sand tray, and when its red color receded slightly and became a little colder, he threw the steel needle into the pot, and a burst of heat rose again.

Shang Yu thought with some regret in his heart: "Not only can these steel needles not be used, but even the medicine wrapped around them is greatly reduced, but this is the only way to make the medicine coagulate quickly. ”

After a few minutes, Shang Yu slowly poured those medicines from the pot into a clean sand tray with a wooden spoon, and then turned around and said: "Next, the villain will dry these medicines, and then wait for the remaining dozen or so medicines to be made according to this method, and then after grinding into powder, mix them evenly according to the special proportioning method, add honey and glutinous rice flour, make pills, and then bake them in the oven, if you master the time, the first batch of pills can be made at noon tomorrow." ”

Shang Yu said as he slowly put the used purple casserole aside, and turned to face Gribu Subarcher and the official surnamed Zhou.

"It turns out that there is such a complicated process, so the official will no longer wait here! Brother Mu, please make it yourself, this official is going back to rest! Gřibsubalcher looked up at the window, but saw that it was getting dark, so he took his leave.

"Then there will be no adults, and the villain will send the county master!" Shang Yu said with a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a maid shouted from outside the door: "Master! There are distinguished guests with a large number of gifts to visit, do you see it? ”

After hearing this, Gřibsubalche said impatiently: "No, no! I'm so tired today, sir, how can I have time to meet any guests! It's so late, let him come back tomorrow. As he spoke, he walked straight out of the courtyard.
