But Yao Zisheng didn't come to the Sword Club, and I don't know if he lives in Yuefu.

When I saw Qi Boxuan the next day, I hesitated and asked him for news.

"Self-defeating? He's been busy dispensing medicine these days, and if you have something to do with him, I'll ask him to come over. I'm a layman in the matter of healing, and I have to ask him to do it myself. ”

"Don't bother like this, if it's convenient, I'll go see him."

Before the sword party began, the guests were sparsely seated. Qi Boxuan stood up: "I'll go with you." ”

Wen Fei hasn't come yet, but I don't know so much about Aunt Yue's illness.

But Qi Boxuan had already stood up.

Wu Zhen whispered: "You just go, I'll talk to you if someone asks." ”

Of course, this person will not be a bystander.

I nodded, and Qi Boxuan led the way. He wore a dark green cloak, like the color of the mountains in the distance, which were obscured by mist.

"Zisheng has a weird temper and doesn't like to deal with people, so he lives in a bit of a biased way." Qi Boxuan pointed forward: "He lives in the northeast corner of the house, and he has passed through the garden closely. ”

I don't know what kind of tree it is, the leaves have already fallen, and the branches are heavy with snow, which crushes the branches to the ground. Qi Boxuan stretched out his hand to pull the branch away, the branch shook, and the snow fell in a pinch and fell on his hair and body.

The snow in the garden is not cleared, and when you step on it, it is a clear footprint. There was a gong sound in the front yard, probably the beginning of the sword game.

Yao Zisheng really lived in a lonely courtyard in the corner, the courtyard door was closed, Qi Boxuan tapped the door twice, and Yao Zisheng said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go far." ”

"Self-victory, it's me."

There was silence in the courtyard, and then footsteps were heard. There was a creak and the door opened from within. Yao Zisheng was unkempt, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was wearing a thick cloak, and my eyes were downward—he was actually standing barefoot in the snow.

"You ......"

He seemed to have just noticed that he was not wearing shoes, and with an "ouch" cry, he turned around and ran into the house.

There was a smell of medicine in the room, and it was warm. The earth dragon burned so vigorously that it was no wonder he didn't wear shoes in the house.

"Why are you here?" He shoeed off and came out again, his messy hair tucked back. Pin it with a wooden hairpin. I picked up the pot and wanted to pour tea, but it turned out to be an empty pot.

Qi Boxuan asked him, "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”

Yao Zisheng dragged a chair: "Sit down...... Well, it looks like someone has come to deliver food. I didn't open the door. ”

"What about last night?"

He scratched his head: "Last night, I ...... I don't remember. By the way, you don't look at the sword competition in front, what are you doing in the back? ”

I asked him, "Why aren't you going?" This sword will be a rarity. ”

"I don't love that." He said, "Are you well at the cold?" ”

"Well, thanks to your medicine. I'm here today. There's something else I'd like to ask you to help with. ”

He smiled and said, "Is there anything you can ask me to help with?" Is it because you don't like someone? That's easy to do, with me on the horse, I promise to clean up properly and smoothly for you. ”

"No......" I couldn't help but want to laugh: "It's not poison, it's that I want to ask you if you can see a doctor." ”

"What kind of patient is it?"

"Well, that elder is a little old. You're in your early forties, right? The root of the disease that fell in the early years, the body was very weak, and I couldn't get out of bed all winter when it was cold. Coughing all night......"

Yao Zisheng asked, "Is it a woman?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"I haven't seen anyone, so it's hard for me to say. Poisoning, injury, and cold may all be the cause, whether it is an injury to the meridians or an injury to the lungs...... That's right. Do you have a medical case or prescription? ”

I shook my head.

"Then we can only talk about it when we see people." Yao Zisheng said: "I'll go with you." ”

"Thank you very much." I rejoiced.

He waved his hand: "You're welcome, I don't have anything to do." In the past two days, a new medicine has been dispensed in the house. The more anxious you are, the more you can't match it. He didn't know what to think, and suddenly he laughed: "Besides, I may not be able to cure people—but I have a lot of ways to keep people from dying." ”

What does that mean?

Qi Boxuan said: "Don't joke. ”

Yao Zisheng coughed: "How is this a joke." "He talked to me with great interest about the difference between the same fate Gu and the twin Gu, although both can prolong people's lives, but their effects are completely different. Twin Gu is planted on two people separately, and the two can live in symbiosis. But if one really dies, the other will not die. The same fate Gu is different, one of them dies, and the other will die.

This is the first time I've heard of this, and I think it's both novel and faintly scary.

But when you think about it, most people in the world will be wary of what they don't understand.

Just like us who practice illusion, when others mention it, it is not much better than these Gu and poison.

When I think about it this way, I am at ease.

"By the way, I'll show you this." He brought out of the house a clay pot with earth, but nothing was grown.

"What is this?"

"Didn't I say last time that I want to match the medicine Gu mentioned in the book, but I can't grow the night stone vine with the main ingredient I need." He held the basin as if he was holding some rare treasure: "I have been trying from Nankui all the way to the capital, changing different soil and trying seeds, and all kinds of methods have been tried, but it just doesn't sprout." ”

I wasn't proficient in any of these either, so I asked a few questions like, "Is there less sun?" "Too much or too little?" He shook his head and said no.

Come to think of it, since he tried all the way from the south to the north, he must have been ruled out in case of anything.

"It's weird......"

He picked up the soil and took out a white seed like a lotus seed: "Why doesn't it sprout?" ”

This is the seed that has been waiting for a thousand times and will not sprout?

Up close, it still looks like a big lotus seed, and there is nothing unusual.

"Where did the seeds come from?"

"Father's stay." Yao Zisheng was a little frustrated: "My father also got it by accident, saying that it was born on a small island in the sea. ”

I thought for a moment, "Is this going to be watered with seawater?" ”

He smiled, shook his head and said, "No, I tried too, but it didn't work." ”

"Then what's the use of the stone vine this night?"

"It is said that if it is formulated into a medicinal Gu, the medicinal effect will occur at the first rooster cry at dawn." He looked left and right with the seed: "But what is the effect of the medicine Gu, I don't know, my family's medicine scripture is just a remnant." ”

Qi Boxuan reminded me: "The sword meeting has begun. ”

"Ah, yes." If I delay any longer, Wu Zhen must be in a hurry.

Yao Zisheng buried the seed back in the flower pot and grabbed the cloak on the side: "I'll go with you." ”

He didn't forget to take the clay pot with him when he went out.

I thought, maybe it wasn't a seed, Yao Zisheng was deceived, so he couldn't grow anything anyway.

As a result, on this very day, the seed sprouted. (To be continued)
