Chapter 2 Three Years Later The sound of horses' hooves, what is the comer?
Three years later.
The flames in the Heavenly Valley were so bright that all the plants, houses, and bones inside were burned clean.
The carriage stopped quietly upwind outside the valley, the door was ajar, and Shen Bikong leaned on the door, watching the fire start from scratch, burn for a whole hour, and then be extinguished by a rain that was expected to come as scheduled. The time was just right, the valley had burned out, and the fire had not spread.
Looking at the sky, this rain is about to fall for half a day, it is not a comfortable thing to rush in the rain, but the valley is burning, within a radius of more than ten miles, there is no place to hide from the rain, hurry up, and you can also go to the town more than ten miles away to spend the night, otherwise, not only to rush in the rain, but also to sleep in the wilderness, now this weak body, can not bear the wind and cold dew.
"Let's go."
said a word to Luo Feng on the front frame of the car, Shen Bikong was helped into the car by the child next to him, and sat down against the wall of the car, with a gray fox fur mattress under him, and a thin quilt on his legs. When he sat down, the whip sounded, and the wheel of the car turned, and although it was fast, it was extremely steady.
Luo Feng is the rickety medicine man, of course, he is not rickety now, his back is straight, and he is as strong as an ox. The child's name is Bai Jue, eleven or twelve years old, born with picturesque eyebrows, combing a pigtail to the sky, adding a lot of lively, white and tender like a good wealth boy under the seat of Guanyin.
They are all medicine people in Tu Lang, there were a total of seventeen medicine people in the valley at the beginning, Shen Bikong used one mouth to rebel against Luo Feng, and with Luo Feng as an intermediary, he rebelled against all the medicine people, and then plotted to kill Tu Langzhong. No one wants to die, and neither do these medicine men, Shen Bikong himself can also heal, although he is not as outstanding as Tu Langzhong, but if he wants, he can completely support a medical hall. When he was young, his ambition was not to be a good doctor, but to be a good doctor, and later met Zhao Hao, and he was moved by his ambition, so he went all the way to the road of good looks, thinking that he would not have the opportunity to be a good doctor again in this life, but he did not expect that one day, he would have to rely on the medical skills he learned when he was young to save himself.
He promised the medicine people to kill Tu Langzhong and seize the medical scripture codex in Tu Langzhong, and he would do his best to dissolve the medicinal power in the medicine in the medicine people's body. Fortunately, Tu Lang has the habit of recording the medical codex, otherwise this plan is really not useful.
The medicine people did not believe in his promise, but they had no choice, continuing to be medicine people, sooner or later it was a dead end, the medicine people in Tu Lang, none of them could get out alive, in the Heavenly Absolute Valley, half of the valley was piled with the corpses of the dead medicine people, and these corpses were not cremated or buried, because Tu Lang Zhong wanted to use these corpses to cultivate a highly poisonous herb, as soon as the medicine people came out of the house, they could see those white bones, as well as the red blood grass growing in the pile of white bones, the grass was blood-red all over, like blood flowing out of the human body.
If Concubine Gu knew that the herb of the Muscle Breath Pill was this red blood grass, and she didn't know the pill, she would still be able to eat it. When Shen Bikong was looking at the prescription of the Muscle Rest Pill, this thought flashed through his mind.
He gave the medicine people a glimmer of hope, and the medicine people did not hesitate to help him kill Tu Langzhong, Tu Lang's traditional Chinese medicine skills are outstanding, and his martial arts are not weak, if it weren't for the medicine people and Luo Feng, who is strong in martial arts, I am afraid that this rebellion really has no chance of success.
It's a pity that only two of the seventeen medicine men survived in the end, Luo Feng and Bai Jue, some of them died in that rebellion, and some of them died in the conflict of medicine and finally died by the expansion of the meridians by the medicine power, Luo Feng was able to survive because he knew martial arts, had internal strength to protect the meridians, and finally survived, Bai Jue was able to live because he had just become a medicine man at that time, and there was not much medicinal power accumulated in his body, and the conflict of medicinal power was relatively weak. This boy is also a bad luck, when he was three or four years old, he was abducted by a kidnapper, and in a few years, after changing hands several times, he was finally sold into a small house, and finally escaped, only to get out of the wolf's den, and then into the tiger's den, and was hitting Tu Langzhong. Tu Langzhong accidentally discovered that his body was different from ordinary people, and his heart was not born on the left side, but was reversed, so he easily grabbed him back to the Heavenly Absolute Valley.
When he was abducted, he was still young, Bai Jue didn't remember what his name was, where his home was, who his parents were, and even this name, Shen Bikong found that he had a piece of mutton fat white jade carved jade, so he gave it to Bai Jue and named it after it.
Bai Jue's boss was not happy, he wanted to follow Gu Jiqian's surname, called Gu Jue, Shen Bikong slapped him directly on the back of the head, and said, "I don't have a son as big as you." "That's it. In fact, Shen Bikong doesn't mind Bai Jue taking his surname, it's just that it's not easy to say that he borrowed the corpse to return the soul, can he say that he doesn't care about himself?
Dissolved the medicinal power in the body, Luo Feng once left the Heavenly Absolute Valley for a period of time, and after coming back, he recognized Shen Bikong as the master, the Tao was a life-saving grace, and he counteracted with his body, Bai Jue also joined in the fun, regarded himself as a servant, stared at Shen Bikong all day long to drink medicine and eat, rice can not be eaten less, medicine can not be drunk less, regular work and rest, sleep a moment late, and resolutely do not allow Shen Bikong to study the medical codex left by Tu Lang day and night.
Shen Bikong often laughed and said that Bai Jue was a servant boy, and he was clearly more lenient than his father. Although Bai Jue was in charge of it tightly, he still studied the Codex of Medicine in Tu Langzhong in three years, thanks to his already proficient in medical skills, many places he didn't understand, and he knew what was going on at a glance, so he didn't have to spend all day long.
The medical skills in Tu Lang are different from ordinary medical skills, there are often whimsical but proven effective methods, but they are inevitably used as experiments on living people, which is too cruel, from the medical codex in Tu Lang, he has healed less than 100 people, but the test medicine people who died in his hands are no less than tens of thousands. Shen Bikong assisted Zhao Hao for twelve years, from an unfavored prince to ascending to the throne of the Northern Qin Emperor, he also stepped on the flesh and blood all the way, and he was not a merciful person, but some of the contents in the Codex of the Medical Scripture were too cruel, if it was circulated, once someone imitated it, he was afraid that it would hurt Tianhe too much, so in the end he decided to burn these medical codex together with Tianjue Valley.
Saving one person by harming countless lives, the real medical skills should not be like this, although the medical skills in Tu Lang are effective, they are walking the evil path, not the right path. The concept is not in agreement, even if Shen Bikong learns his medical skills, he only absorbs his medical theory to improve what he has learned, and does not accept it all.
"The Tao is good, the Tao is very good, the name is famous, the name is not ......"
Reciting Nanhua in the rain is elegant, but the sound of hooves is too urgent, and the sound from the carriage is shattered. Luo Feng drove the car, fast but not chaotic, the sound of hooves was very rhythmic, and it could be in harmony with the chanting sound, this rapid hoof sound was naturally not made by the horse pulling the cart, but somewhere else.
Shen Bikong put down the Nanhua Sutra in his hand, listened to it with his ears, the sound came from the front, more than one ride, and there were at least seven or eight rides to listen to the sound, anxious but not chaotic, and the riding skills were exquisite. This is not an official road, this road only leads to one direction, that is, the Heavenly Valley, Tu Lang is notorious, although the medical skills are outstanding, but the asking price is too high, ordinary people can't afford it, so there are not many people who come to him for treatment, there may not be one to seek medical treatment in a year or two, but there is one counts as one, and it is definitely not a good stubble. In the past three years, only one person came to seek medical treatment, Shen Bikong just wanted to verify how much he had improved after integrating Tu Langzhong's medical skills, and he took a lot of effort to cure it, but he didn't expect to leave the Heavenly Absolute Valley and meet the second one who came to seek medical treatment. The problem is that the Heavenly Absolute Valley has been burned, and there is no more Tu Langzhong in this world, and he doesn't want to continue to take on the name of Tu Langzhong.
"There's trouble."
He smiled at Bai Jue, and Tong'er immediately pouted and said, "I hate trouble." Then he knocked on the wall of the car in front of him, "Uncle Luo, hurry up." ”
Luo Feng didn't answer, but the speed of the carriage was obviously twice as fast as before.
The sound of hooves passed by the carriage, and the leader glanced at the carriage, and did not think much about it, but still galloped in the wind and rain, and in a blink of an eye it was gone, but in two quarters of an hour, the distant hooves returned.
The carriage was blocked on its way, and seven or eight horsemen surrounded the carriage. Luo Feng has always been silent, and in the face of this scene, he didn't speak, but just clenched the horsewhip.
"In Xia Ji Yan, I took the liberty to stop the car, but I really have something to inquire about, and I hope to ask Haihan if I have no choice." The leader took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice.
"What?"
Bai Jue pouted, very annoyed that he still didn't get rid of those people, Shen Bikong patted his head with a smile, and then asked back.
Hearing a clear male voice coming out of the carriage, such as a golden sound and jade vibration, straight to the bottom of people's hearts, Ji Yan was stunned, he originally had a glimmer of hope, looking forward to the person in the car is that Tu Langzhong, at this time when he heard the voice, he knew that it was not, although the voice was good, but the lack of qi, either injured, or sick.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency, have you ever been to the Heavenly Absolute Valley?"
"Yes."
"Have you ever seen Tu Langzhong?"
"Yes."
"I don't know where Tu Langzhong is now?"
"Killed."
"What?" Ji Yan exclaimed, although when he saw that the Heavenly Absolute Valley had turned into a ruin, he suspected that Tu Langzhong was dead, but now that he heard the people in the car admit it, he still couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
"I am stubbornly ill, seeking medical treatment in the valley of the sky, but Tu Lang is helpless, or the price is too high, I am angry, ask for his life, burn his valley, your Excellency's heart, is not exactly what you think. I am just doing as Your Excellency wishes, so that Your Excellency can also give an account to your lord when you turn around. Shen Bikong laughed lowly.
Ji Yan stared at the carriage dumbfounded, how did the man know what he was thinking, although the rain was falling at this time, but the ashes in the Heavenly Valley were still warm, obviously it had just been burned, if Tu Langzhong was alive, how could he allow someone to burn his residence, so most of them were dead. In and out of the Heavenly Absolute Valley, this is the only one, he came from the front, and met all the way, there was no one else, only this car, so he secretly speculated that the person in the car killed Tu Langzhong and burned the Heavenly Absolute Valley.
