Chapter 33: Shi Peng
After some investigation, the doctor first used gauze to stop Erlong's bleeding, and then he shook his head and sighed: "My medical skills are shallow and I can't do anything. Unless there is a Taoist elixir to 'avoid impermanence' to continue his life, he will not live to be ugly tonight. ”
When Long Yuan heard this, he immediately felt his ears buzzing, and then he held back the panic in his heart and asked, "Where is the 'Avoiding Impermanence', how can I get it?"
The doctor's eyes flashed, as if he was unwilling to look at Long Yuan, and said: "'Avoiding impermanence' is a second-grade pill refined by the Taoist Danding Sect, and its real name is Life-Extending Pill, which is the top-level existence of the second-grade pill. Its value is even higher than that of some Sanpin pills, and it is a pill that has no price and is monopolized by others, and ordinary people cannot get it. This little monk was seriously injured, and if he used ordinary medicine, he would die before the medicine came out. ”
Long Yuan suddenly remembered the description of the Life-Sustaining Pill in the "Taiqing Dan Sutra": The Life-Sustaining Pill contains extremely strong vitality, which can protect the hearts of seriously injured people and delay the time of death.
"It's a pity that there are only weapons and no pill......s in Longyin Villa," Long Yuan clenched his fists, and the bruises on his face couldn't hide his painful expression. Then he picked up Erlong and said, "I will let Master do everything possible to save you." ”
Just as Long Yuan was about to leave, the doctor hurriedly said, "Slow."
Long Yuan looked at the doctor and said, "Is my friend still saved?"
The doctor's eyes rolled and he asked, "Little brother, are you from Longyin Villa?"
Long Yuan nodded and did not deny it: "My master is the head of Longyin Villa. ”
The doctor's brows jumped, and he immediately said: "Longyin Villa is admired by the world, and Xue and I are no exception. Earlier, I thought that you were being hunted down by the enemy, and you were rude, and I was worried that you were saving two poisonous snakes, so you did not fulfill your duty as a doctor, and I ask my brother to forgive me. ”
Long Yuan was stunned for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly said, "I was abrupt before, what does Mr. Xue mean?"
The doctor, Mr. Xue, did not answer, but walked straight to a wall, opened a hidden compartment, and took out a wooden box from it. Suddenly, the entire medical hall was filled with a smell of medicine.
Long Yuan subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and it was this small action that completely convinced Mr. Xue of Long Yuan's identity. Pills and decoctions are poisons to martial arts disciples. Because of the sea of qi in the body, the martial artist has a special physique, and has a strong self-healing ability, supplemented by his own true qi to heal his injuries, even if he hurts his muscles and bones, he may be healed within seven days. But this self-healing ability is the martial arts for thousands of years to inherit the bloodline, I don't know when the martial arts even if they are seriously injured no longer use medicine, thousands of years of inheritance, the martial arts' self-healing ability has reached an extremely terrifying point. However, this ability will gradually disappear after coming into contact with elixirs and decoctions.
Therefore, the use of medicine by martial artists is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.
Mr. Xue opened the small wooden box, and a pill the size of a dragon's eye appeared. This pill is what Mr. Xue called the "avoiding impermanence" life-sustaining pill.
Under the reflection of the faint light, there was a wisp of mist above the Life Continuation Pill, the pill was round, and the surface was a layer of pale green shiny, which was very gratifying.
"Little brother, this is 'Avoiding Impermanence', which was given by Xue by a monk many years ago, and today he used it to save your friend. Mr. Xue crushed the last trace of reluctance in his heart and approached Long Yuan Dao.
"Thank you, Mr. Xue, I will definitely compensate for the value of this Life-Extending Pill in the future. Long Yuan solemnly bowed his hand to Mr. Xue.
"It's not necessary, it's Xue's honor to be able to help Longyin Villa. Without further ado, let's treat this little monk's wounds first. With that, Mr. Xue stuffed the Life Continuation Pill into Erlong's mouth.
"I'm not a martial arts practitioner, it's useless to keep this elixir, if I can let this little brother admit his feelings, maybe I can borrow a book on martial arts qi yuan art to take a look." Mr. Xue said in his heart.
"Mr. Xue, this elixir is too valuable, so I'll exchange some items. Long Yuan saw that Mr. Xue took out the Life-Extending Pill for Erlong to take, and he felt some guilt in addition to gratitude, the value of this pill was too high.
Ling Jiutian had sternly taught them that they were not allowed to ask for a stitch from the world in the name of the mountain villa, otherwise the door rules would be dealt with.
But now that the two dragons are in danger, the Life Continuation Pill has to be used, and Long Yuan can only make amends later.
"Xue studied medicine in his life, but his family has seen too few medical classics, not to mention that some medical classics are difficult to buy. I heard that there are several books on medical science in the martial arts, and if the little brother can borrow Xue to read it, Xue will be very grateful. ”
"I have a few books on medical science, and I will bring them to you tomorrow if you need them. Long Yuan was worried that he didn't know how to ask Ling Jiutian for goods to compensate Mr. Xue, and when he heard that he wanted books on medical science, his heart was immediately relieved.
There are many annotations in the books that Ling Jiutian taught Long Yuan to study, and these annotations are all from the perspective of martial arts to understand medical theory, and it can be said that these books are the mutual confirmation of Qi Yuan Technique and medical theory. These books are all secrets of the martial arts, and their value is no less than that of peerless medical classics in the world, but now they have been replaced by a second-grade pill.
"Okay......" Mr. Xue said a few times when he heard this, and then said, "Little brother, don't worry, this little monk has taken the 'Avoidance of Impermanence', and I will treat his injuries with the best medicinal materials, and he will recover in about ten days." ”
Long Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and found a chair to sit down on the side.
After more than half an hour, Erlong's face was slightly better-looking, not as pale as at the beginning. Trying to open his eyes, Erlong looked around, and just as he wanted to move, a sharp pain came from his body.
"Erlong, don't move. Long Yuan stepped forward to stop him.
"Brother Long Yuan, thank you for saving me. "Erlong has the strength to speak weakly.
"Who injured you?" Long Yuan saw that Erlong was covered in fatal injuries from swords, obviously the other party wanted Erlong's life.
Erlong didn't answer Long Yuan immediately, but asked, "What time is it now?"
"Three moments. ”
"Brother Long Yuan, please go to the Inner Courtyard Discipline Hall on my behalf, it's a big mistake to not go back to the martial arts house when I pass in the inner courtyard, and I will be kicked out of the inner courtyard, so please go over and help me explain the situation." As for how I got hurt, I'll explain it to you in detail when I get back. Erlong paused for a few breaths before he finished speaking.
"Good. ”
Long Yuan immediately left Mr. Xue's medical hall and ran in the direction of the inner courtyard.
Several lanterns were hung at the entrance of the inner courtyard for night lighting, and two strong men dressed as guards stood by the doors on either side. The one on the left stood as upright as a sword, carrying a large sword about four inches wide behind his back, and the lantern in the doorway swayed when the breeze passed, but the man's clothes and hair did not move, and he was obviously a good hand with a heavy sword.
On the right side of the doorway stood a stout man with muscles all over his body, his thighs and arms were twice as thick as those of ordinary people, and the skin on his face was very rough, and he had a kind of temperament that was not angry and arrogant.
These two are the left guard and the right guard who guard the gate of the inner courtyard at night.
"Stop!
When Long Yuan came to the door of the inner courtyard and was about to take a step further, he was stopped by the left and right guards.
"I have a friend who is a disciple of the inner court, and he is now seriously injured and cannot return to the martial arts house on time, so I will go to the discipline hall to report the situation on his behalf, and ask the two eldest brothers to be accommodating. Long Yuan bowed to the left and right two guards.
"What is that disciple's name, where does he live, and who is the mentor?" Zuo Wei routinely asked Long Yuan.
"Xin Erlong, who lives in the first room of the Huangzi Martial Arts, is Wang Changfa. Long Yuan said.
"Hmm. You wait here, I'll take a trip to the Discipline Hall. Those who are not disciples of the inner courtyard are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard at night, this is the law of Da Xuan, and the people who live in the Huangzi martial arts house are all new disciples, and they probably don't know this. Zuo Wei said.
"That's going to bother the big brother. Long Yuan arched his hand. It was indeed inappropriate for him to enter the inner courtyard by an outsider in the middle of the night, and it was the same for the guard brother to report when he went in.
"Wait!"
Just as the left guard turned around, a voice shouted.
Long Yuan and Zuo Wei turned their heads to look at the source of the sound at the same time.
A man of eighteen or nineteen walked in from the other side of the door. This man was dressed in a yellow-brown suit, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Shi Ying.
"Shi Peng?" Long Yuan frowned.
"The duty of the two of you is to guard the gate of the inner courtyard at night, and now you have left your post without permission, in case you let the evil demons enter the inner courtyard, can you take responsibility?" Shi Peng said in a flat tone, but anyone present could hear the aggressiveness.
"Young Master Peng, this little brother went to the Discipline Hall to report on behalf of our Inner Court disciples, can't I handle it like this?" Zuo Wei asked. Shi Peng is the eldest disciple of the dean of the inner court, and the nephew of the dean of the outer court, although he is nominally a new disciple of the inner court this year, he has been living in the inner court for many years, but he is not a disciple of the inner court.
However, although Zuo Wei and Mo Baichuan are said to be subordinate and superior, the backbone of people who practice martial arts is much higher than that of Wen Shi, so when he heard Shi Peng's words, Zuo Wei was also a little unhappy in his heart, but he still called him Peng Gongzi.
"Of course not. The Discipline Hall of the Inner Court clearly stipulates that those who cannot return at night must go to the Discipline Hall to report in person, don't you know?" Shi Peng snorted coldly, he had previously persuaded him with "good words" but he didn't expect Zuo Wei to buy his account, which made him extremely unhappy.
"This ......," Zuo Wei was speechless for a moment. If the disciples of the inner court cannot return at night, they must report to the discipline hall in advance, which is the rule of the Dawei for all areas and the inner and outer courts. After all, there are no more than three generations of wealth, and there are many heirs of princes and ministers in the inner and outer courts, and once these heirs are sent to the two courts, they must be talents after they are released. In order to rectify the atmosphere and prevent these heirs from falling willingly, Da Wei stipulated that the disciples of the two academies were forbidden to stay overnight. This has greatly reduced the phenomenon of many sons and brothers spending all night drinking outside and not returning all night.
However, the inner court did not consider the situation of Erlong, because the act of killing the disciples of the inner and outer courts was tantamount to fighting against the empire. Therefore, it was the first time that Erlong asked Long Yuan to go to the Discipline Hall on his behalf today.
"I am a disciple of Longyin Villa, not the so-called evil demon. There was a faint anger in Long Yuan's eyes, Shi Ying's group of people he was extremely disgusted, and now at this time, Peng was making trouble at this time, and he really responded to a sentence: Fish out of a bay, turtle out of a beach.
"Where is that Xin Erlong now? Could it be that he is a warrior monk and still wants to linger in the land of gentleness?" Shi Peng sneered.
When the left guard and the right guard heard this, they suddenly felt a little angry in their hearts, such words were undoubtedly an insult to the monks.
"He was injured and is now in the Xue Clan Medical Center in the south of the city. Long Yuan clenched his hands into fists and gurgled, obviously angry at what Shi Peng said.
Shi Peng smiled slyly and said, "Oh, it turned out to be in the Xue Clan's Medical Hall." ”
