Chapter 202: The Past Is Like the Wind
Xiangxiang and Qin Po both arrived outside the house, and only Li He and Yixian were left in the house.
The medicine fairy sat on the bed, his face hidden in the hood of his robe, and his expression could not be seen clearly. Li He stood on the side, holding the small porcelain bottle in his hand, his face full of surprise, not knowing what the hell this medical fairy was doing.
"Sit and talk." The medicine fairy's voice was still as low and hoarse, but it was obviously much better than the last time we met.
Li He slowly sat on the chair on the side, looking at the medical immortal in front of him, and couldn't help but feel worried, this old lady should not have stayed in this Wanlin Sect for a long time, lonely and unbearable, looking at our handsomeness, she became lustful...... As the saying goes, a woman is as good as a wolf at thirty and forty as a tiger, and the age of this medical immortal is estimated to be as ferocious as a tyrannosaurus.
Is Xiuyun okay? The medicine fairy asked again.
"Huh? What? Li He was worried in his heart about what if the medical fairy put forward any non-trivial thoughts, such as staying with her for one night, otherwise he would not treat the third daughter.
"Xiuyun, are you okay?" The medicine fairy repeated the question just now, not at all anxious, and his previous personality was very different.
Li He frowned: "Xiuyun? Who is Xiuyun? ”
The medical immortal paused for a moment, it seemed a little strange that Li Hejing didn't know Xiuyun, and muttered, "Could it be that she is no longer by Brother Li's side?" No, she won't leave Brother Li..."
Li He was aroused, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Senior, senior medical immortal?" What are you talking about? This... Who is Xiuyun? What do you have to do with my grandfather? ”
The medical fairy raised his head slightly, Li He vaguely saw that the face under the gray robe was also dark purple, and his body couldn't help but lean back again, and hurriedly looked away. The drum beat in his heart, this medical immortal, I don't know what medicine I used. Make yourself like this, no one is a ghost, no ghost.
The medical immortal sighed faintly and said slowly: "Everyone in the world knows that the name of my medical immortal is the emperor's own seal, but few people know that it was decades ago. I was Ouchi's chief imperial physician. ”
"Huh? Physician!? Li He narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect that the medical immortal was actually the imperial doctor in the palace before, so how did she provoke the queen and fall into such a big stride? Since it's the Imperial Doctor. It makes more sense for her to recognize her grandfather.
Li He couldn't help but sit up straight and listen intently to the medical fairy's story.
At that time, Brother Li ...... Also your grandfather. He is not yet in the position of the Grand Master. But he was already a high-ranking minister of the court, and was very favored by the emperor at that time. Because of this, Mrs. Li was seriously ill once. The Emperor asked me to go and treat her. After healing Mrs. Lee, we became good friends. When she was a few years older than me, she recognized me as a sister-in-law, and from then on she was called a sister.
Sister, what a perfect woman, so beautiful. is so gentle, it's no wonder that Brother Li is so fond of her..."
As he spoke, the medicine fairy seemed to be caught in memories of the past. Even his voice doesn't seem to be so hoarse.
Li He listened, and could even vaguely see the beautiful demeanor of the year through the portrait he had seen in his grandfather's room in the capital in his memory.
The so-called once the sea was difficult to water, but Wushan is not a cloud. When her grandmother was alive, her grandfather's love for her remained unchanged, and decades after her grandmother's death, her grandfather still remained obsessed. It can be seen how much grandpa loved grandma back then, and it can be seen that such an excellent grandfather can be so infatuated and excellent. Li He thought to himself.
"At that time, there was a noble concubine who had just entered the palace, the daughter of a small official in the northwest, surnamed Han, and named Xiuyun. When the emperor saw his beauty during his western tour, he was overjoyed, so he was summoned to the palace and named him a concubine. At first, he was favored by the emperor, but it didn't take long for him to grow cold. She was not eighteen at the time, she was not pregnant with a dragon, she had no backstage, and she lost the emperor's favor, so she naturally had a hard time in the palace. Later, one time, my sister entered the palace to see the queen mother at that time, met her, and saw that she was still a little girl, and she was not contaminated with the filth in the palace, so she recognized her as a sister, and after talking to the queen mother, she often went to the palace to see her......"
Hearing this, Li He couldn't help but muttered to himself: Grandma is really "amorous", and she recognizes her sister everywhere.
The medicine fairy continued: "Because of my sister's relationship, Xiuyun and I have also become good sisters. In this way, in the palace, she and I will take care of each other, be each other's company, and we will no longer be so lonely.
"And what about later? Why did you go to find the queen of you, where did this Xiuyun go? ”
The medicine fairy's voice suddenly became lower: "The Imperial Palace, in the midst of the high-walled compound, is separated from the world, and all mortals look up to and worship it, but they don't know that the darkness and filth inside it are ten times more than the world outside. ”
Li He asked, "What happened?" ”
The medicine immortal sighed and said, "Since ancient times, the open and secret battles in the harem have always been no less than those in the court, and they are even more insidious and dark. At that time, although I was no longer a little girl, and I had been in the rivers and lakes for a while, I couldn't compare with those people in the palace at all. There was a big battle in the palace that time, and Concubine Yin fell, but Xiuyun and I were somehow and inexplicably involved. ”
At this time, Li He said: "I know, at that time, my grandmother asked my grandfather to intercede with the emperor and save Ding you and that Xiuyun, right?" ”
The medicine fairy shook his head: "No, it's not that simple. The battle turned out to be too serious. A prince who was less than a month old and a princess who was just three years old died unexpectedly, and the emperor was furious, and all those involved could not escape death. ”
"And what are you...?" Li He asked half of the question, but he already had the answer in his heart.
"Brother Li sent the master of the Li family to the palace and rescued me and Xiuyun." Yixian Dao, when he said this, it was as if he was sighing for a long time, as if Li Xiao should not have sent someone to rescue them in the first place.
"We have been hidden by Brother Li in the Li family, and it didn't take long for the emperor to die and the new emperor ascended the throne, and that incident was quickly forgotten, and Xiuyun and I didn't dare to show up all the time."
"The days in the Li family were the happiest days of my life. At that time, with my sister and Xiuyun, I was happy and carefree every day...... Sister, she is really capable, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also good at cooking. And the martial arts are still very high. I followed my sister to learn the piano, and Xiuyun learned Shigong from my sister. If...... It would be nice if we could keep doing this..."
Li He was curious: "What happened later. ”
The medicine fairy was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Later... Alas...... Later, I had a bit of a conflict with Xiuyun. A man was walking around the streets of the capital and met a person. ”
"Men?" Li He immediately said, he pondered the reason why he could make a woman do stupid things. It's definitely inseparable from love, love, or something.
"Yes, man. He is the eldest young master of the Longyuan Dart Bureau, the head of the two young heroes of martial arts that year. ”
Li He secretly thought in his heart, this is the eldest young master of the Longyuan Dart Bureau. It is estimated that he is handsome and chic, suave, and strong in martial arts. Less years and more gold. Although the doctor was not small at the time, he didn't seem to have been in love yet, and he was fascinated by the dragon in a few seconds.
"I fell in love with him, but Brother Li and my sister didn't agree, they said that he wouldn't really treat me, and I was stubborn at that time, and I was angry with them because of some things. didn't listen to them, and went back to the Longyuan dart game with him. But I didn't expect that it hadn't arrived at the Dragon Yuan Dart Bureau yet. And he departed from me......"
"Huh? So fast?! Li He Daqi, "This kid has no heart and no lungs!" "I said this, but I couldn't help but think in my heart, could it be that the medical fairy was too ugly when he was young, and the dragon couldn't hold it anymore, so he ran away halfway, right?
The medicine fairy also shook his head and sighed: "Yes, he is a heartless person, but unfortunately, I was too stupid at the time, but I didn't figure it out." Do you know why he left me so quickly? ”
"Do you have a crush on any girl again?" Li He originally wanted to say, "I was scared by you, but fortunately, I thought of Ling'er's three daughters' illness in time and had not yet been cured, so I hurriedly changed my words."
"Yes, he saw a man."
Li He's heart moved, and he said, "Could it be ...... Is it the Queen of Darkness?! ”
The medicine fairy was silent again, as if reminiscing, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Yes, it's the dark queen." The Queen...... The first beauty in martial arts, she is indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that people feel like falling into a dream. The women I've seen in my life are the ones my sister can compete with. If it's just about her appearance, she's even better. After a pause, he added, "But your maid who knows how to spell seems to have some of her appearance back then." It's not that it looks alike, but it's beautiful, and it's so elegant. ”
Li He knew that the queen of the Netherworld back then must not be as weird as when she was in the Netherworld Heavenly Palace, and in the Netherworld Heavenly Palace, her beauty was even more elevated.
The medicine fairy sighed again: "No wonder he likes the queen of ghosts, and even his soul has been hooked." Indeed, no man can resist her charm, and even me, a woman, almost fell under her gauze skirt. Alas......"
"Oh, because of this, you went to trouble the queen of the ghost, so that you were given a ...... by the queen Belch...... Poisoned? ”
The medicine fairy said: "He's dead." ”
"Him?"
"It's the eldest young master of the Longyuan Dart Bureau. At that time, the queen suddenly retired to the rivers and lakes, and countless young talents on the rivers and lakes were ready to follow her to the Netherworld Island in the East China Sea. But on the way, these talents and young heroes fought by themselves, and he ...... He died so inexplicably, he was chopped to pieces, and he didn't even know who killed him. ”
"You deserve it~!" Li He sighed.
"yes, you deserve it. But I didn't think so at the time, it was just such a tendon, and I stupidly found his body and cried for a day and a night. Looking back now, I cried so sadly, but it wasn't for him at all. ”
Li He was a little confused when he heard it, but his curiosity became heavier and heavier: "And then? You can't find the murderer, so go find the source of the ghost? ”
"I was really stupid at that time, and I suddenly hated Yu for no reason, so I decided to go to her and seek revenge on her. At this moment, Brother Li sent someone to find me, hoping that I would go back, but I didn't agree. They told me that my sister's illness had recurred, and that it was very serious, and begged me to go back and heal her. But I thought it was a trick by Brother Li to trick me into going back, so I defeated them and went to the Netherworld Island in the East China Sea alone. The medicine fairy said, his voice getting quieter and quieter, hoarse, and a little choked in the distance.
Although Li He didn't see the face of the medical fairy, he could feel that she was crying.
"I'm sorry for my sister, I'm sorry for Brother Li... In the past few decades, there has not been a day when I have not regretted and felt guilty. If I hadn't been confused, not willful, and hadn't avenged the eldest young master of the Longyuan Dart Bureau who couldn't even remember his name now,. But if I go back to the capital to treat my sister, my sister may not die, Brother Li will not be sad, and I... It won't be so painful. The medical fairy couldn't cry anymore, and Li He couldn't hear what she said clearly. But the cause and course of the incident are still basically clear.
After a while, the medical fairy slowly stopped crying and said to Li He, "How did you get the antidote from the Queen of You?" Have you ever fought her? How did she let you back? ”
Li He was slightly stunned. After thinking about it, he said, "Hehe, I have known her for a long time." ”
"Old acquaintances?" The medical fairy was puzzled. "The Queen of the Netherworld has been on the Netherworld for much longer than I have been in the Wanlin Sect, and it is said that she has never left the Netherworld Island decades ago. You...... Nineteen or twenty at most, how can you be an old acquaintance with her? ”
"Oops. This one... Hehe, it's hard to say. Li He smiled and prevaricated.
The medical immortal pointed to the small porcelain bottle in Li He's hand and said, "That, is it an antidote?" ”
"Well, this is... Li He hesitated a little, this medical fairy and his grandfather are old acquaintances, is it too much to feed her and drink her own baby?
But before he could hesitate, the medicine fairy had already walked to his side, stretched out his dark purple hand and took the small porcelain vase.
I saw the medicine fairy uncork the bottle and put it under his nose and sniffed. Li He couldn't help but feel nervous, and his eyes stared closely at the purple nose on the mouth of the bottle.
"This smell...... Why is it so weird? What is this thing, I can't tell what it is? The medical fairy said suspiciously, and his voice returned to the hoarse and low just now, which made Li He's back chill, and secretly said in his heart: Nonsense, this is the essence of this child's boat for several days, working hard every day, fighting night and night, only to accumulate such a small bottle, which is different from others.
"I don't know what it is." Li He spread his hands and said.
"It's so sticky, can you drink it directly?"
Li He turned around and coughed dryly: "Probably." ”
Hearing the sound of sucking something behind him, Li He unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
After a long time of sizzling, Li He couldn't help but turn around and say, "Then why did the small bottle drink for so long?" ”
The medicine fairy said indistinctly: "It's too sticky to swallow." ”
Li He was embarrassed, took the cup on the table next to him and handed it over, "Just drink water." ”
A small bottle, but the medical fairy tossed for a long time before drinking it.
"Is it okay to drink just this bottle?" The medicine fairy still spoke strangely, as if the sticky bottle was still in his throat.
Li He hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's definitely okay." This is an absolutely genuine antidote, there is no counterfeit or shoddy, and the poison that the queen has put on you has been removed. He knew that the medicine fairy's body was not really poisoned, everything was just her own inner demon, so he must make her believe that she had indeed drunk the real antidote, and no longer thought that she was still poisonous.
At this time, the voices of Mingyu and Ling'er came from outside the house, and Li He's ears immediately stood up.
The medical fairy saw it in his eyes and said softly: "I have temporarily suppressed the conditions of the three girls, and the refining of the Tianshan Snow Lotus has also been clueless, you can rest assured, knowing that you are the descendant of Brother Li, even if you don't get the antidote, in my lifetime, I will do my best to cure their diseases." ”
Li He turned around and nodded, and said in thanks: "As long as they can be cured, whatever the requirements of the medical immortal seniors are, they will obey their orders." ”
The medicine fairy waved his hand, and the dark purple and thin hand appeared in the sleeve robe, "Even if I detoxify, I don't have a few years to live, for so many years, I have been in the torture of guilt and poison in my heart." Until I know your identity, the words that have been buried in my heart for decades have finally found a gap and can be said...", he took a deep breath and sighed softly: "Today's Zhao Qingya is no longer the previous Zhao Qingya." ”
The two talked for a while, and Li He said: "Regarding the Tianshan Snow Lotus, this time I brought someone from the Netherworld Island, she was originally an alternate saintess of the Tianshan Sect, and she should be more experienced in refining the Tianshan Snow Lotus. ”
"Oh? The alternate saintess of the Tianshan faction? Well, if she had been courteous, she should have understood the refining method of Tianshan Snow Lotus Lotus Seeds, which would indeed allow me to refine the medicine I needed faster. "Yixian Dao.
"I'll go find her." Li He said that he hurriedly walked out of the cabin. As soon as he opened the door, a soft and petite body immediately threw himself into his arms, and Dingqing saw that it was Ling'er, a girl from the Tianshan Mountains.
Xiao Nizi looked like she was indeed a lot more ruddy than when she was first sent to Wanlin Sect.
"Brother, brother!" The girl buried her head in Li He's chest and hugged him tightly, as if he would fly away as soon as she let go.
At this time, Princess Xingyue Fei'er also heard Li He's voice, broke open Mingyu's hand to support her, and groped her way towards Li He.
Li He hurriedly took out a free hand and hugged her into his arms. Jing Ji seemed to have nothing to say next to her, and when she saw Li He smiling and waving to her, she hesitated for a moment before bowing her head and walking to him.
With Xiaolan's help, the medical fairy quickly refined the Tianshan Snow Lotus and divided it into three different parts, with other excipients, to treat the three daughters respectively.
Tianshan Snow Lotus really has a miraculous effect, after staying in Wanlin Sect for more than a month, Ling'er and Jingji's illness has basically healed, and Fei'er can vaguely see the human form walking on its own. The condition of the three daughters is no longer serious, Li He is worried about the affairs of Tanping Town, so he wants to say goodbye to the medical fairy.
"There is a miraculous medicine refined by Tianshan Snow Lotus, as long as you take the pill on time, in another ten days, the illness of the two girls Jing and Ling can be cured, there will be no sequelae, and they are guaranteed to be healthier than before. As for Fei Girl's clear eyes, it still needs to be recuperated for about half a year, and it will soon recover. The medicine fairy sat in the wooden house and said slowly, since she took the "antidote" brought back by Li He a month ago, she had never taken the evil swamp in the Wanlin Sect to cure the poison, and her voice was getting softer and softer day by day, no longer as hoarse as sandpaper. It seems that she really regards Li He's "antidote" as genuine in her heart, but the gray robe on her body has never been removed, so Li He has been here for so long, but she has not seen her true face.
"After you go back, see your grandfather and apologize to him for me..."The medical fairy sighed lightly, "Just say that Xiaoya's team can't afford him, I'm sorry for my sister, Xiaoya has no face to see him, let alone face my sister...... I... Don't dare to beg for his forgiveness, don't dare to ...... Over the years, Xiaoya has always regretted and regretted it. I've always felt guilty, deep guilt......" didn't say a few words, and I couldn't cry again.
These days, Yixian often chats with Li He, but whenever he mentions his grandfather and grandmother, he can't help but cry and can't continue.
Although the medical fairy was a little confused, Li He still understood what she meant, and said, "Why didn't the seniors leave here with me?" Now that your poison has been cured, you don't need to stay in this place. I'll send you to the capital to see my grandfather, and if you have anything to say, you can tell him face to face. ”
The medicine fairy shook his head slowly: "No, I don't have the face to see him, I don't have a face..."
"Senior, after so many years, my grandfather may have forgiven you a long time ago."
"Brother Li can forgive me, but I can't forgive myself."
Li He persuaded: "Otherwise, you can go back to Tanping Town with me first." This place is full of vicious beasts and poisonous insects, and it is not popular at all, so it is really not a good place to live. ”
The medical fairy still shook his head: "Li Gongzi's kindness, I understand it." But after so many years, I've gotten used to it, and it doesn't matter where I live. It's not early, so Li Gongzi should hurry as soon as possible. ”
Li He hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, my parents and grandfather both call me 'Tielang'. You don't have to call me Li Gongzi anymore, just call me Tielang. ”
The medical immortal said: "Tie Lang... Okay, Tielang. Speaking of which, your grandmother is my sister, if you were ...... If I hadn't left the capital at the beginning, now you should call me aunt. ”
"Auntie." Li He did not hesitate and immediately shouted. The medical fairy had friends with his grandparents and saved his three red faces, and he was quite sympathetic to this woman who had suffered for most of her life.
"Hey, good, good... Tetsulang. The medical fairy trembled and stretched out a hand to touch Li He's head, Li He was immortal at this time, her hand was still as thin as wood, but it had returned to its ordinary flesh color, but it was covered with old age spots.
She is now just an ordinary old man who has been tortured and her heart is full of guilt and regret, and she is no longer the medical fairy Zhao Qingya who knows the rivers and lakes.
