Chapter 102: Separate Actions
Xu Zhaohua once heard others talk about that the king of the Creation Domain of the Ridge Fire Domain is a man who is good at using witchcraft, and his name is called Hualing Fire, from which the name of the Ridge Fire Domain comes from. However, unlike the current Ridge Fire Domain, at that time they all used witchcraft to save people. They took in the homeless and taught them the art of witchcraft so that they would not end up on the streets, and the Linghuo Domain quickly became famous all over the world. Later, for some reason, the King of the Ridge Fire Domain left, and until now he has no responsibility to know.
The Linghuo Domain has not existed for a long time, Xu Zhaohua calculated according to the year that the age of the Hualinghuo who left suddenly back then should not be very old, and the current age after so many years should be this age.
"Outsiders can't just know about the affairs of the Ridge Fire Domain, how do you know this?"
Xu Zhaohua smiled and didn't speak: "If you want to know these things, you can still know, and this Grandpa Hua doesn't have to worry about it." But what makes me wonder is, why did you leave the Ridge Fire Domain in the first place? ”
Grandpa Hua's Adam's apple moved up and down, and after quietly swallowing his saliva, he said: "If you want to know these things, you can still know, and this Grandpa Hua doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Grandpa Hua said in Xu Zhaohua's words that Xu Zhaohua had just rejected her, this was the first time Xu Zhaohua felt speechless.
"In that case, then it's inconvenient for me to ask, I was abrupt just now, I hope you understand." After speaking, Xu Zhaohua bowed respectfully to Grandpa Hua, and Grandpa Hua also bowed slightly.
After that, Grandpa Hua looked at Xu Zhaohua in front of him and nodded gently, as if he had no intention of making people feel that it was deliberate, he felt that the woman in front of him was becoming more and more interesting, she could bend and stretch, and she must be a good man if she was a man.
Xu Zhaohua thought for a while and asked, "Grandpa Hua, can I call you that?" ”
Grandpa Hua touched his beard and nodded.
"How good was Grandpa Hua when he got the witch medicine?"
"It was probably the summer season, and I remember that day seemed to be a New Moon." Grandpa Hua said after thinking about it.
Xu Zhaohua was thinking in his heart, the New Moon at the time of the summer season? It stands to reason that it is impossible, at that time, Sui Chen was commanding the attack on the big end, and it was impossible for him to have time to study witchcraft, let alone come over to send something to Grandpa Hua.
"Grandpa Hua, do you notice any difference between that day's Sui Chen and the past?" As if he suddenly thought of something, Xu Zhaohua then asked: "Did he use that arm to reach the door?" ”
Grandpa Hua felt that it was strange for Xu Zhaohua to ask this, but he was still thinking about the situation that day in his mind, when he was about to close the door Sui Chen's arm was deliberately stuck on the door frame to prevent him from closing, his arm seemed to be a little strange, not strange but strange, he seemed to use his left arm, but this was not right......
"Left arm." Grandpa Hua said: "But I remember, Sui Chen is not left-handed. ”
Xu Zhaohua sat up and walked to the boiling medicine jar: "It is true that Sui Chen is not left-handed, when a person is in a hurry, he will definitely use his usual hand, and a normal person will definitely use his right arm to block the door." ”
"So that person isn't Sui Chen at all?"
Xu Zhaohua nodded.
"Who could that be?" Grandpa Hua fell into thought.
Xu Zhaohua suddenly asked, "How was that person dressed that day?" ”
Grandpa Hua thought for a while and said, "The clothes are gorgeous, and they are about the same as what Sui Chen wears on weekdays." ”
"Does his clothes look like they're made of Shu brocade?"
"It looks like it is."
"The left-handers I know are only the king of Daduan Sui Yue, and Shu brocade can only be something that can only be found in the Daduan Palace, this kind of cloth and its luxury, it is produced in Shu, and only a few horses are paid to the royal palaces every year, which is very rare, and others can't buy it even if they have money. And only Sui Yue can do this," Xu Zhaohua said, she also had some doubts, Sui Yue had no reason to practice witch Gu, and he himself was controlled by Sui Chen, in order to avoid disasters, he even pretended to be a Gu.
After hearing Xu Zhaohua's words, Grandpa Hua walked to the window and closed the window, and you walked to the door to see if the door was closed, and after all this was done, he walked to Xu Zhaohua's side and said in a low voice: "Sui Yue is the lord of a country in Daduan, the girl doesn't dare to jump to conclusions casually, now we are in the land of Daduan." ”
At that time, Zhou Shengcuobai, who was looking for Xu Zhaohua in the attic, looked down and found that a room with the window was still open and was now closed in a blink of an eye, obviously someone was inside, but he clearly remembered that the room was a pharmacy and not a person's residence. Will it be a crisp?
Thinking about Zhou Shengcuobai, he walked down the attic.
Xu Zhaohua didn't speak at first after hearing Grandpa Hua's words, and his expression became solemn: "Grandpa Hua, don't say anything else now, let me ask you a question." ”
"Tell me what the problem is."
Xu Zhaohua picked up a rag to protect his hand, put it on the lid of the medicine jar, and looked at the soup that was slowly cooking: "You say that people who are new to witchcraft can learn to pretend to be other people's faces?" ”
"This is possible, the disguise Gu is an indispensable Gu technique when learning witchcraft, this is also an entry-level thing, it is not difficult to learn, many wizards first learn when they first start to learn witchcraft is the disguise Gu, not only is the operation simple but also the danger is low."
Xu Zhaohua's mind suddenly opened up a lot, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said: "If that's the case, then everything makes sense." ”
"What do you say?" Grandpa Hua was a little puzzled.
"Since people who have just learned witchcraft can easily manipulate the disguise Gu, I believe that the only person who has the ability to wear clothes made of Shu brocade in the entire Daduan and knows a lot about Sui Chen's walking, speaking habits, and the details of his appearance."
Grandpa Hua thought about it, Xu Zhaohua's analysis was very reasonable, logical and thorough, but he also couldn't think of why Sui Yue did this, looking at Xu Zhaohua in front of him, she looked at him with a little smile, Grandpa Hua suddenly asked Xu Zhaohua with some questions: "How do you know this, Sui Chen and Sui Yue are not ordinary people can come into contact, right?" ”
Saying that, he cast a questioning eye at Xu Zhaohua, with Xu Zhaohua's various performances, words and deeds, and extraordinary conversations in front of him, he became more and more curious about Xu Zhaohua's identity, although Xu Zhaohua was wearing a coarse cloth short coat at the moment, but she did not cover the unique aura on her body at all.
Xu Zhaohua lowered his eyes after thinking about it, I'm afraid his identity can't be hidden, Grandpa Hua will have to know sooner or later, it's better to tell him now,
"Actually, my real ......," Xu Zhaohua was about to say when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Anyone? Is there anyone in there? Zhou Sheng Cuobai had already come to the door of the pharmacy at this time, and when he heard that no one inside answered, Zhou Sheng Cuobai suddenly felt a little anxious: "Crispy, are you inside?" ”
Xu Zhaohua had no choice but to reply: "Yes, I'll come out." ”
After Xu Zhaohua opened the door, Zhou Shengcuobai saw that the dim room was filled with a strong smell of herbs, not only that, but there was also a person standing inside, it was Grandpa Hua, although he was also a little curious about why Crispy was here with him early in the morning, what were they talking about? Zhou Sheng Cuobai didn't ask, just frowned, couldn't figure it out, so he turned sideways and stood on the other side of the door so that Xu Zhaohua could come out.
"Crispy, are you okay?" After Xu Zhaohua came out, Zhou Shengcuobai was afraid that Xu Zhaohua would have any mistakes, so he asked with concern.
"It's okay, don't worry too much."
When he went upstairs, Zhou Shengcuobai turned his head and took a deep look at Grandpa Hua in the house, and when Xu Zhaohua stepped on the stairs, he saw which woman and Xiao Ye were sitting under the wall of the corridor yesterday, and secretly clenched her fists, she must save these people.
When I pushed the door open and entered the room, everyone had already woken up, although it was winter, but the room was still a little stuffy, maybe there were too many people living in it, and it was not a way to go on like this, there was only one bed in the whole room left for Sui Feng, who was sick, and the rest of the people could only sleep on the chair and sit on the table and sit on the stool in the hall, although everyone didn't say anything, but she could see that everyone's spirit was not very good, after all, there was no good rest all night.
Su Mingtuo yawned and said, "Zhaohua, I didn't see you when I woke up this morning, where did you go so early?" ”
"I went to Grandpa Hua and said something."
"Grandpa Hua, who is Grandpa Hua?" Su Mingtuo asked curiously, this is also what everyone is curious about, why did there be an extra flower grandfather overnight?
Xu Zhaohua remembered that this was what Ono said to himself, and he didn't have time to tell everyone: "It's the white-bearded old man we often talk about." ”
Su Mingtuo nodded, and then Xu Zhaohua told everyone the cause of what Grandpa Hua told her.
"So, this Grandpa Hua is the old domain master of the Ridge Fire Domain, Hua Linghuo?"
Xu Zhaohua nodded and answered Su Mingtuo's words.
"It turns out that he still has such an identity."
In that case, why did Sui Yue pretend to be Sui Chen? What's in it for him? ”
Xu Zhaohua shook her head, now this matter is just her preliminary speculation, and she can't guarantee that this is the case, so it's not easy to jump to conclusions.
As everyone pondered, a person walked out of the window, judging by the weight of the silhouette and steps, it should be Grandpa Hua, followed by a pungent smell of herbs, he was probably going to feed the sick.
"Otherwise, I'll invite Hualinghuo back, let's ask him well!" Zhou Sheng Cuobai proposed.
"There's no hurry, wait." Xu Zhaohua said quietly, and got up to open the door by the way.
After a while, when Grandpa Hua passed by the corner room again, he saw that the originally closed door was open at this time, and naturally Tibetan Milk Red knew what this meant.
"In that case, the old man is better to be respectful than to obey his orders, so let's go in." After speaking, Grandpa Hua went in without waiting for the inside to speak, and what he saw was Xu Zhaohua sitting on a chair, with a cup of tea in front of him, and an empty chair directly opposite her, and similarly, there was also a cup of tea opposite the empty chair.
At this moment, Xu Zhaohua was sitting in the middle, looking at him with a firm look and a smile on his face, as if thousands of things in the world were under her control, he Hua Linghuo had dealt with many people in his life, but few people could give him such a feeling, but now the woman in front of him, who didn't look very old, gave him this different feeling.
"Grandpa Hua is here, please take a seat." As he spoke, Xu Zhaohua pointed to the empty chair opposite.
After Grandpa Hua looked at it, he sat up, and Zhou Shengcuo, Bai Su, and Mingtuo all stared at him, making him feel a little chilled inexplicably.
"Grandpa Hua, I've been here for so long and I haven't been able to introduce us to you, this is my husband" Xu Zhaohua pointed at the sentient beings Cuobai, and then Zhou Sheng Cuobai nodded at Grandpa Hua, and Grandpa Hua bowed slightly to answer.
"This is my uncle." Xu Zhaohua pointed at Su Mingtuo, Su Mingtuo hugged his fists at him, and Grandpa Hua immediately knew that he must be a person who practiced martial arts.
"That's my master." Xu Zhaohua pointed to the ghost lady standing in front of the window, since she told everyone the true identity of Grandpa Hua, the ghost lady did not say a word, Xu Zhaohua guessed that since the ghost lady knows witchcraft, then she may have something to do with the Linghuo Domain, and she may also know something about Grandpa Hua, so this is why she is like this.
Grandpa Hua followed Xu Zhaohua's gesture and looked towards the window and saw the ghost lady standing in front of the window, the ghost lady did not look back, and Grandpa Hua had to nod and turn his body again.
"Your true identity is already known, so let's be calm now." Xu Zhaohua said.
"In that case, that's good. By the way, you haven't said your name yet, girl. Grandpa Hua asked.
"The little girl's name is Xu Zhaohua."
"You said your name is Xu Zhaohua?" Grandpa Hua's eyes widened and asked, Xu Zhaohua nodded, and then Grandpa Hua asked again as if confirmed: "But that Xu Zhaohua in Dongqi?" Xu Zhaohua nodded again.
"But that Queen Xu Xu Zhaohua in the palace of Eastern Qi?"
"Exactly."
Grandpa Hua was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Sheng Cuobai again: "This is your Langjun, so he is Zhou Sheng Cuobai, the emperor of Eastern Qi?" ”
Zhou Sheng Cuobai nodded: "Xiao Sheng has seen Grandpa Hua." There was still a hint of abuse in his eyes, and he deliberately bent down and bowed to Grandpa Hua as a junior to an elder.
Grandpa Hua couldn't sit still at all, and immediately stood up and saluted back: "I can't help it." ”
"Then this is General Su Ming Tuosu, right?"
"A martial artist." Su Mingtuo hugged Grandpa Hua with a fist.
Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Hua touched his beard and sighed: "I can't imagine that a few characters who are so famous in this world are now in front of me, a bad old man, it's really disrespectful." This also just explains why he can feel a strong aura on Xu Zhaohua, it turns out that this is the reason, since she is Xu Zhaohua, then there is no need for a reason for all this.
"Grandpa Hua is serious, we also came out now by hiding our identities, so we can't be too public, you can call me Zhaohua in the future, and we will call you Grandpa Hua, what do you think?"
Grandpa Hua nodded in understanding.
"Grandpa Hua, when we discuss it later, I still have a question, that is, why did you say that Sui Feng would not be infected with this disease at all in us, just because he had the blood of the Gu King in his body?"
Grandpa Hua thought for a while and said, "It's indeed because he has the blood of the Gu King flowing on his body. ”
After saying that, everyone look at me, I look at you, the ghost lady standing in front of the window also turned her head slightly and listened to the next words, they all knew that the blood of the Gu King was a medicine primer, but they didn't know that it had this effect.
"Many years ago, I got the Gu King, it is recorded in the witch book that the Gu King has the effect of greatly increasing people's witchcraft, once it can enter a person's blood, then any witchcraft will have no effect on that person. The Gu King has been sleeping for many years, and once he wakes up, he must find his mother within three days. But due to various insurmountable self-causes and natural reasons, I couldn't integrate the Gu King's blood with myself, and seeing that the time of three days was about to come, I was in a dilemma, until I accidentally gave you a little boy to treat his illness and found that his blood was the best vessel for raising the Gu King. ”
Xu Zhaohua seemed to think of something and suddenly understood: "That kid is Sui Feng?" She remembered that Sui Feng had mentioned to her that she had a serious illness when she was a child, and any imperial doctor said that she had no way to recover. In desperation, Aunt Shen found a wizard who walked the rivers and lakes to prepare to give it a try, and in a room with only two people, the wizard planted a Gu King for Sui Feng, and Sui Feng was able to survive.
The door behind everyone was opened, Sui Feng walked out with the door frame, Grandpa Hua looked at Sui Feng, there was indescribable emotion in his eyes, and he immediately lowered his eyes, although the Gu King could save Sui Feng's life, but he also knew the consequences, there would be a period of unbearable pain for ordinary people at the beginning of every month, to be honest, he still had his own selfish intentions when he gave Sui Feng the middle and lower Gu King.
"I remember, you are the one who gave me the trick in the first place." Sui Feng pointed at Grandpa Hua and said, he walked up to Grandpa Hua with great effort and paused word by word: "You tell me, how to take it out of my body!" ”
Grandpa Hua shook his head, he didn't know how to take out the Gu King, it was very likely that this Gu King would exist in Sui Feng's body for a lifetime, until he died.
Sui Feng sat on the ground in despair, his last hope was shattered, all these years he had been secretly looking for the wizard who gave him the Gu King, and now he was standing in front of him, but it didn't help, every New Year's moon, he would still be as painful as being manipulated by the devil.
Xu Zhaohua helped Sui Feng from the ground to the chair on the side, she knew how painful Sui Feng was, sooner or later she would have to help him take out the Gu King to repay him for what he had done for herself.
"What do we do next? I suggest that we should rush back to the Eastern Qi military camp first, in the current form, it is not appropriate for us to stay in this place for a long time, the Eastern Qi soldiers need generals to boost their morale, and Qin Feng alone is far from enough. Su Mingtuo said as if asking himself.
Zhou Shengcuobai nodded, it is true that now that the national disaster is at hand, he should immediately return to the frontier to guard Dongqi, he can't let the people of Dongqi suffer because he wants to save the people of a town in Daduan, he is really the emperor of Dongqi, he must have the judgment of this pattern, it is very difficult to care about the world, all he can do is to protect the people and things he can protect within his ability, such as a grass and a flower in Dongqi, such as a stream and children playing by the stream, such as an old man who enjoys the shade under the tree in summer, For example, Xu Zhaohua, his crispy.
Xu Zhaohua on the side also obviously hesitated, between the affairs of the family and the country and the common people in the world, she can only choose the same, whether to return to the Eastern Qi military camp first or save these sick Daduan people first, these problems make her in a dilemma.
"Zhaohua, what do you think?" Su Mingtuo asked, after such a long period of experience, he always wanted to ask his niece's opinion, and too many times he felt that Xu Zhaohua was more far-sighted than him.
Xu Zhaohua, who had been hesitating for a long time, did not speak, and now everyone is waiting for her decision.
"The battle still has to be fought, and people must be saved." This is Xu Zhaohua's answer to everyone, everyone feels very helpless, they also want to do both, but obviously they can't do it now, and they have no way to alleviate the condition of these patients.
"I'll stay to save people, you go to the Eastern Qi military camp first, and you can save a lot of time by acting separately." Xu Zhaohua opened his mouth and made everyone a little stunned.
"Crispy, how can you save these people if you stay?" Zhou Shengcuobai said with some excitement.
"I'll figure it out."
When Zhou Shengcuobai was about to persuade Xu Zhaohua again, Mrs. Ghost spoke: "I will also stay and help Zhaohua detoxify together." ”
Only then did Grandpa Hua see the face of the ghost lady, she said that she helped Xu Zhaohua heal these people, could it be that she also knew witchcraft? I recalled in my mind that I didn't know this woman, but I felt inexplicably a little familiar.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai knew that Xu Zhaohua was stubborn, and she would not change her mind if she persuaded her, and even more firmly her idea, so she had to give up, thinking that several battles on the battlefield were inevitable, maybe Su Su was safe here, but Sui Feng and Su Su were together, and this kid's eyes always looked on Su Shu's face, which made him feel a little unhappy. But thinking that Sui Feng was currently in a lot of health and couldn't follow them, he had to let him stay here.
Zhou Shengcuobai sighed: "Since that's the case, let's act separately." Su Mingtuo originally wanted to stop Xu Zhaohua from staying here, after all, they were not very safe in Daduan's territory now, but since Zhou Shengcuobai said so, he couldn't say anything, so he stood next to him and didn't speak.
"Okay, Cuobai, uncle, you must be careful on the road, and when you get to Dongqi, use the white pigeon to send me a message."
After that, Zhou Shengcuobai and Su Mingtuo simply packed some luggage, and there were not many things in themselves, and soon they bought two horses in Dongshi and set foot on the road to Dongqi, Xu Zhaohua looked at the backs of the two and gradually disappeared from view before they were willing to go.
When they arrived at the medicine hall, the sick townspeople were still here, and the three people who were left behind began to discuss how to save these townspeople next.
