The black clouds on the horizon are getting thicker and thicker, and there has been no movement for several hours, as if they have saved up enough energy to do a big job, seeing such a sky, starting from Liangxian County, and now everyone who has traveled to the mountain road, are slightly frightened at this time.

Even more sensitive than men are the horses carrying supplies, and the restless restlessness of the horses that have been in the mountains since they entered the mountains, and the heavy panting that comes from the nostrils from time to time disturb the hearts of the people.

At this time, the attendant on Yan Xingge's side looked around with a worried face, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, the general sentence was left in Liangxian County to preside over the affairs of Liangzhou for the adult, but the adult insisted on personally supervising the transportation of materials in danger for some reason.

So he said weakly: "My lord, the horses seem to be a little restless, I am afraid that the road ahead is more difficult, you see ......"

"Keep walking, I said it's fine." Yan Xingge interrupted the attendant's words a little impatiently, coughed lightly twice, tightened the hood of the cloak, and trotted forward with the horse's belly in his mouth.

The attendant sighed softly, turned to the crowd behind him and shouted: "Hurry up, after the mountain in front, you will be safe." Then he hurried to follow.

Dongyu Kingdom, the imperial city

Two figures wearing moon-white hooded cloaks appeared outside the palace gate, one of them was tall and long, his hands tucked in his sleeves, his face was hidden under the hood with the cloak attached, and the other was slightly shorter, and at this time he walked in front of the guard, took out a jade plaque from his waist and handed it over.

The guard took the token with a serious face, was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully: "The subordinates don't know that the national teacher is coming, and they still hope that the national teacher will atone for their sins." ”

Under the cloak, a jade-like hand was revealed, waved it slightly, and said, "Lead the way quickly." ”

"Yes, the national teacher is here, please, the chief manager of Wu has been waiting for a long time, and he will take the national teacher to His Majesty's road later." Leading the way was Xiao Gan, the commander of the Dongyu Guard, who was specially assigned by the Jade Emperor to wait at the palace gate and wait.

Unlike Nanyue, which is a rising star, Dongyu is the oldest ancient kingdom in the Four Kingdoms, and its court rank and management policies are inherited from their ancestors, and they have been pursued for many years, even affecting the Northern Zhao and Western Yuan; It is different from Nanyue, which has been constantly repairing the country for more than 100 years, and among the four countries, only Nanyue has its own official rank.

Stepping into the palace gate, but after a moment, the chief attendant Wu who received the news had already stepped forward and saluted: "The national teacher can be regarded as coming, hurry up and go to the road with our house." ”

There are many people at the palace gate, and at this time, the news of Queen Dongyu's critical illness is not known except for the people who are confined in the emperor's road bed, and there is no word along the road until they reach the road dormitory.

"Your Majesty, the national teacher is here." Chief Manager Wu had received the order before, and he brought the person directly into the inner hall.

At that time, the Dongyu Jade Emperor sat on the edge of the dragon couch, looking at the unconscious queen with a haggard face, holding a white and weak hand that she exposed outside the brocade quilt with both hands, and hurriedly put the queen's hand into the brocade quilt and got up to look over.

In the inner hall, after the two-month-white figure stood still, a person with a long and tall figure slowly put down his hood, revealing a handsome and noble face, and a pair of amber eyes revealed a reassuring look, this person was Bai Ran, and the shorter boy next to him was Xue Er, who came with him.

The Jade Emperor saw the true face of the national teacher for the second time after many years, and he was shocked and speechless, "You, you are actually ......"

"Your Majesty, Bai Ran is here, please rest assured." Bai Ran understood the reason for his surprise, after all, more than ten years ago, the two of them looked similar, but now they are like father and son, although the Jade Emperor's demeanor is still the same, but under the pressure of the dragon position, it is inevitable to leave traces of time.

After a pause, the Jade Emperor seemed to have figured it out, nodded, and said to himself: "The national teacher is a strange person, and the face of the cultivator is not a problem. ”

When he came back to his senses, he stepped forward to support Bai Ran and said, "I'm tired of the national teacher, let's take a look at the queen's condition first." Bai Ran nodded, without delay, took off the cloak and handed it to Xue Er on the side as he walked, came to the dragon couch, observed the Dongyu Empress with a bloodless face at this time, frowned slightly, and asked, "What were the queen's previous symptoms?" ”

"Pulse generation, palpitations, qi and blood loss, lack of heart qi, is the image of heart paralysis, but accompanied by the symptoms of poor appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, a closer look at the pulse sometimes three or five out of balance, stop and repeat, such as a finch pecking, is poisoned."

A slightly old voice with a loose and uninhibited tone came from the outside to the inside, Bai Ran turned around, and saw that it was an old man with pale hair but not completely white, dressed in a Taoist robe, who was walking slowly with his hands behind his back at this time, and his eyes were looking at himself carefully without concealment, followed by a young girl in a blue robe and dressed in men's clothes.

Seeing that the people were expecting each other, the Jade Emperor hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The valley lord is also here, but he thought of a healing method?" When the old man heard this, he bowed to the Moon Emperor, and then his face was embarrassed and he shook his head.

Seeing him like this, the Jade Emperor's face turned pale, relieved for a moment, and said forcefully: "Okay, now that the two of them are here, the queen will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety, I will talk to the two outside, let the queen continue to rest." As he spoke, he walked out into the room.

Everyone sat down, and the Jade Emperor spoke: "I haven't introduced each other to the two yet, this is the medicine store in the Medicine Valley Valley, before the queen had an emergency, the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless, and it was the valley lord who came day and night to alleviate it, and next to him was the only personal disciple of the valley lord." The Jade Emperor first looked at the medicine shop, and then looked at Bai Ran and said.

Bai Ran looked kind, and said to the medicine shop: "Long admiration." The medicine store still looked lazy and nodded in reply.

The Jade Emperor then said to the medicine store: "This one is my Dongyu National Teacher Bai Ran, a few years ago, the drought that Dongyu rarely saw in a hundred years ago was the National Teacher who prayed for rain with his own strength, so as to turn the tide and protect Dongyu to this day, and he is a great contributor to my Dongyu." ”

As soon as the Jade Emperor's voice fell, Bai Ran immediately bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, this is a matter within the minister's responsibility, Your Majesty and the minister's acquaintance are all fate, not confined to the imperial city, the minister is very grateful in his heart, and the minister in trouble in Dongyu will do his best to protect it." The Jade Emperor was relieved, nodded, and just wanted to speak, but saw that the medicine store stood up from the bottom, walked to Bai Ran with burning eyes, leaned over slightly on his face and looked at it carefully, Bai Ran looked calm, picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly, and did not raise his eyelids more.

It's just that the Jade Emperor, who was sitting at the top, looked at the scene in front of him and felt quite helpless.

The medicine store is an old acquaintance with whom he has a lot of fate, and the medicine valley is independent of the world and is not controlled by him; And Bai Ran is not to mention, he is only a nominal monarch and minister, but in fact he is his benefactor, if these two people are right, it will be lively.

Fortunately, Bai Ran has a mild temperament and is tolerant of all rivers, and although Yao Xing is acting unruly, he is not a person without measure, so he can only look at the two of them with embarrassment, and he does not say anything to stop it.

However, the medicine store looked interested, but he looked at Bai Ran closer and closer, and at the same time touched his face and muttered: "Are you really the legendary mysterious national teacher?" ......"Everyone was puzzled, thinking that he had made a shocking discovery.

In the end, his eyebrows were distorted, and he said with some discouragement: "Medicine and food are useless, if it is true that cultivation is the unique secret method of the face, tsk...... This look and skin is really jealous. ”

He sighed for a long time, and what he said was such a word, everyone was frozen when they heard the words, Xue'er was a person who had never seen the world much, and his eyes widened and he was stunned aside, and Le Ran, who was standing on the other side and pretending to be a teenager, as the personal disciple of the medicine valley master, was even more eager to throw a crack in the ground, such a shameful master, she really didn't want it.

At that time, Bai Ran, who had a calm face, also trembled his wrist after listening to the "heartfelt words" that the old man in front of him, who was only three fingers away, also trembled, and the tea soup almost overflowed, and he was silent for a long time, and then a chuckle appeared on the corner of his lips.

At the same time, the medicine store also noticed the smile on the corner of Bai Ran's mouth, and just wanted to talk, "How do you ......" Before he finished speaking, he felt a strong force, and slowly pushed his body outward and slowly pushed away from Bai Ran's side, stopping when the two were three feet apart.

And he wanted to move forward, "Hey, hey, hey, what's going on." But it was as if there was an invisible wall blocking him from Bai Ran.

The medicine was jumping to his feet here, and I saw Bai Ran slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, got up and tucked his hands in his sleeves, and said, "Thanks to the valley lord's love." ”

After that, he said to the Moon Emperor: "If the queen's illness is as the valley lord said, it is indeed dangerous, Your Majesty forgives the ministers, although the queen has now stabilized her heart, but she is still fierce and auspicious, and she should not be taken lightly." ”

Then he turned around, took a cold jade box from Xue Er's hand, glanced at the medicine store, and opened the box to the Jade Emperor, and suddenly the cold air around the box overflowed.

At this time, the barrier barrier around him had been withdrawn, and Yao Xing's eyes lit up and strode to his side, looking at the box, his fingers trembled slightly and pointed to the two strange flowers and plants lying quietly inside, and he was speechless for a while, "This ......" took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down, but he still couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "Is this the Netherworld Grass and the Earth Bolian?" ”

Bai Ran smiled gently and replied, "Exactly." After that, he wanted to hand over the cold jade box to the medicine store.

The medicine store looked at Bai Ran, then turned his head to look at the Jade Emperor, and after getting his approval, he took the box with trembling hands and praised it again and again.

Seeing this, the Jade Emperor turned to Bai Ran with hope in his eyes and asked, "This thing is used to heal the queen's illness?" ”

Without waiting for Bai Ran to answer, the medicine store held the box and said excitedly: "There are many divine grasses on the top of Tutai Mountain, among which the nature of the dark grass is unknown, and it is born suddenly when eaten, but it can be used to cure all kinds of poisons in emergencies; And the Bodhisattva is like a lotus, its taste is sweet and sour, the eater is beneficial to people and has been heartbroken, when the old man went through more than nine months of death and finally got half of it, to cure His Majesty's heart disease, today the national teacher actually got two intact divine grass, it is really a god man. ”

After that, he turned around and beckoned the little apprentice, Le Ran had been eager to wait on the side before, but he didn't dare to come forward to watch, but now he was summoned and hurriedly stepped forward, waiting for orders.

"Your Majesty, the queen is now under double symptoms, but according to the old man's opinion, it should be detoxified first, and the effect of this divine herb cannot be delayed, it is better to let the old man take the apprentice down first and develop the antidote." The medicine store closed the box and arched his hand.

When the Jade Emperor heard this, his face finally had a hint of anticipatory joy, looked at Bai Ran, saw him bowing slightly, hurriedly responded, and summoned the chief servant Wu to come and guide the master and apprentice of the medicine shop.
