Cheng's deep gate compound. In the hall, there were a total of four people sitting, and in addition to Cheng Yuming himself, there were three other guests. But there were eight servants of the four.

In fact, on the coffee table in front of everyone, there was only a cup of tea and a plate of fine snacks. The four plates are fine, no one has touched it, and no one has ever drunk the extremely difficult to drink sparrow tongue tea.

And these eight good-looking young maids kept turning their eyes, hoping to find something to show their courtesy, and if someone took a sip of tea, they would immediately add boiling water to you, but unfortunately, they were disappointed.

The person who can come to Cheng Yuming as a guest must be a person with a high reputation. These three guests are indeed big names in the rivers and lakes.

The guest sitting on the sofa on the left-hand side, with long hair, is Ye Shaoming, a well-known Chinese medicine expert in Beijing, Ye Shaoming's ancestors have been practicing medicine for four generations, not only with superb medical skills, but also with outstanding knowledge, serving as a visiting professor at Peking University, known as the first doctor in Beijing.

Sitting next to Ye Shaoming was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a face like the bottom of a pot, thick eyebrows, a slender body, a fashionable cheek, and a figure who looked like a character in martial arts. He is the head coach of martial arts at Beijing Sports School, named Ding Xiangen, who is good at iron sand palms, and is known as "Iron Palm Lao Ding" in the rivers and lakes. Ding Xiangen not only practiced into a pair of iron palms, and his strength was able to break stones to open monuments, but also traveled all over the north and south of the river, and the experience on the rivers and lakes was rich and abnormal.

The third is a frequent visitor to Cheng Yuming's mansion, named Sheng Xinghua. In fact, he is more like a bodyguard invited by Cheng Yuming. Because of his proximity to Cheng Yuming, he has always been called "Uncle Sheng" in the Cheng family. Sheng Xinghua is only thirty-four or five years old, with a medium build, a mediocre appearance, and he looks inconspicuous, but he is Cheng Yuming's confidant, and he is highly valued by Cheng Yuming.

A rich man like Cheng Yuming naturally wants to hire a first-class bodyguard. Even if it is a heavy amount of money, it is not borrowed, not to mention that with the financial resources of the Cheng family, it is not difficult to ask Sheng Xinghua to be a bodyguard. Sheng Xinghua defeated thirteen masters under a very secret competition and won Cheng Yuming's favor.

Cheng Yuming personally watched the competition and admired Sheng Xinghua's martial arts very much, so he also had a special respect for Sheng Xinghua.

All four of them had serious faces. Cheng Yuming slowly stood up, raised his hand and waved, and the eight servants retreated together.

Then Cheng Yuming said with a worried face: "Shaoming, your medical skills are so good, are you really helpless against the little girl's illness?" I don't care about the money, I want to spend as much as I want. ”

Ye Shaoming exhaled lightly and said, "Lao Cheng, you are too outward, just with the friendship between the two of us, how can the brothers excuse themselves." The younger brother has really done his best, and I really can't find out that there is no better way. ”

Cheng Yuming kept rubbing his hands, anxious and overflowing, but he still tried his best to keep his voice calm, and said: "Shaoming, you know, my Cheng family's huge family business will be handed over to the little girl in the future, but the little girl's condition is ......."

Ye Shaoming pondered for a while and said, "Old Cheng, it's not me."

I can't find a few people in the country who are more skilled than me, I can't help it, others will ......."

"I naturally believe in Brother Shaoming, but why do you say she has been unconscious?"

Ye Shaoming smiled bitterly and said, "Lao Cheng, don't worry, at least now Xiaojie's life is worry-free, although I can't find out the source of the disease, I have a bold guess in my heart, maybe she is not sick." ”

Ding Xiangen frowned and said, "Old Ye, you said that Xiao Jiesheng is not sick?" ”

Ye Shaoming nodded: "Lao Ding, you are a person who practices martial arts, you should know some of the doorways in martial arts, you can see if there are any"

Ye Shaoming said: "Xu Gongzi has been in a coma for half a day and a night, and Tianwang can't find out the source of his illness, maybe he was injured in the hands of the characters in the rivers and lakes." ”

Tan Changfeng suddenly continued: "Doctor Ye, if Xu Gongzi is injured in the hands of the Jianghu figures, it will leave scars." ”

Ye Shaoming pondered for a while and said, "Has Tan Jiaotou checked Xu Gongzi's condition?" ”

Tan Changfeng said: "I've checked, Xu Gongzi was definitely not hit by someone, and he wasn't injured by a hidden weapon, did he get some strange poison?" ”

Ye Shaoming looked up at the roof. After a while, he picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip, and said, "No! If you are poisoned, you will definitely have signs of poisoning. Even if it is an extremely small poison quenching secret weapon, Tianwang can confidently see it. ”

Lao Ding said: "Doctor, this makes me Luo someone can't figure it out, he is neither poisoned, nor has he been pointed at by someone, how can he be so unconscious." ”

Ye Shaoming pondered for a moment and said: "Tianwang is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but I dabble in a huge number of things, and from a few books related to medical Taoism, I think of some legends and accounts of people in the rivers and lakes. There is a legend of the Dafa of Soul Shifting on the rivers and lakes, I don't know if Mr. Luo and Tan Jiaotou have heard of it? ”

Tan Changfeng's face changed and said: "I've heard, is it possible that the son is injured under the Soul Shifting Dafa?" ”

Ye Shaoming slowly stood up and said: "Brother Xu, Tianwang is very ashamed and powerless about Ling Lang's condition, maybe Mr. Luo and Tan Jiaotou can share the worries for Brother Xu, the brother said goodbye first, Brother Xu feels that there is still a need for brothers, but please send someone to say hello, and the brothers will come immediately." So saying, he walked out of the house.

Although Cheng Yuming was in a state of panic, he still maintained his etiquette, got up and sent it outside the hall, and said, "Brother Tianwang is good to go." ”

Looking at Ye Shaoming's distant back, Tan Changfeng said slowly: "Mr. Luo's dart head has footprints all over the world, and he has seen and heard a lot, can you see some clues?" ”

"Ye Shaoming really deserves to be a well-educated Confucian doctor, and he can even know about such secrets and legends on the rivers and lakes."

"Brother Luo, on the rivers and lakes, is there really such a strange thing?"

"Yes! However, this is just a legend, and I have not seen it. ”

"Good! Good! Since the source of the disease has been found, there should be a cure, Brother Luo, you help more, no matter how much money it costs, I don't care. ”

Lao Ding's black face showed a look of embarrassment, and said, "Brother Xu, this is just a legend, to be honest, brother."

I've never encountered anything like this, and there's nothing I can do about it. ”

"If Xu Gongzi is really calculated by the characters in the rivers and lakes, they should have a purpose, right?" Sheng Xinghua was suspicious.

What is their purpose? If you want money, you should also notify the mud man. ”

"The proprietor, yesterday afternoon, Gongzi was plotted, and now, the day has not yet passed noon, according to the habits of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, today, they should have news, at the latest, it will not exceed tomorrow."

Cheng Yuming sighed and said: "Changfeng, it's been almost a day and a night, Baoyu has never woken up and hasn't said a word. Without a sip of water, I was worried about whether he would be able to hold on. ”

"If the young brother is really plotted by the people in the rivers and lakes, we can go to them, it is best to find the scholar who accompanies the son, and I will ask him again."

Cheng Yuming suddenly raised his voice and said, "Call Xiaomei to me." ”

Xiaomei, just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, is full of youth and happiness, but now, he describes him as haggard and sad, probably since his son fainted in distress, he has not slept either. He timidly walked to Cheng Yuming's side and knelt down. said: "Master, Xiaomei knocks to see you." ”

Cheng Yuming snorted coldly and said, "You and Gongzi walked together, why didn't you faint there?" ”

Xiaomei said: "Me! I ......"

"Brother Xu, we have to ask for the detailed inside information, don't scare him."

Cheng Yuming snorted coldly and said, "Okay, then ask Brother Luo to ask him, right?" ”

Lao Ding breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaomei, get up, don't hurt your uncle, and answer my question truthfully." ”

Xiaomei stood up, bowed down to Lao Ding and said, "I've seen Master Luo." ”

Lao Ding smiled and said, "Don't be polite, how did the young master faint?" ”

"Yesterday, the young master took me to the Fairy Temple together."

"These days are the time of the fairy temple fair. I heard that there are many people rushing to the temple fair. ”

Xiaomei has not yet taken off her childishness, speaking of the temple fair. A look immediately flew up on his face, and he said, "Yes, Master Luo, it's just a sea of people......

"Young Master Xu fainted in that sea of people?"

"No, we saw a ......" on Mei's face. Suddenly there was a look of horror, and a cold sweat broke out on the top door, and he couldn't take it.

Cheng Yuming said angrily: "Bastard, didn't you see a person? Why not keep talking. ”

Xiaomei shook her head in fear and said, "No...... It's not ...... people. ”

This shocked Cheng Yuming, slapped the wooden case, and said, "What is not a person?" ”

"Brother Xu, please take a break from your anger, how can you ask the inside story like this, you need to know what happened, if there is a little mistake. There will be a big fallacy. ”

Yes, Brother Luo, excuse me, Brother will no longer interject. ”

Lao Ding tried his best to make his voice as gentle as possible, and said, "Xiaomei, there are so many people who go to the temple fair, there will never be a monster!" Mei shook her head. Said: "It's not a leaping monster, it's ...... Be...... It's a fairy. The three people present were all stunned. Cheng Yuming started with his mouth, but he endured it and didn't come out

Sound.

"In the fairy temple, there are naturally many fairy statues, and everyone can see the people who enter the temple."

No, not a statue, it's a living fairy. ”

Lao Ding was stunned for a moment and said, "Living fairy, Xiaomei, you are not mistaken, right?" ”

"It's true."

"That's a lot of people seeing?"

"No, only me and the young master saw it."

Lao Ding was a little confused, and said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, aren't there many people in the fairy temple?" ”

Xiaomei said: "The young master and I went to the backyard of the fairy temple and saw the fairy, her clothes and face were the same as the statues in the hall. ”

Lao Ding was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh! And what about later? ”

"The young master has caught up."

"Why didn't you chase it?"

Xiaomei said: "I originally wanted to chase after me, but the young master didn't allow me to follow." I didn't see what happened after the young master entered the cross-hospital, and when I looked for it, the young master was already fainting on the ground. Lao Ding said: "There is no one else there?" ”

"No, the cross courtyard behind the main hall of the Fairy Temple, it was originally forbidden for tourists to enter, the young master and I slipped in, it was very quiet, except for the fairy who appeared, I never saw anyone else, and then the young master fainted on the ground. I was terrified. came out with the young master on his back, and hired a sedan chair to run back to the house. ”

Cheng Yuming said angrily: "Xiaomei, you came back yesterday, why didn't you make it clear?" ”

"Back to the master, the little one—I want to say it, but the old man has been losing his temper, and the little one really hasn't had a chance to explain the details of what happened."

Cheng Yuming thought for a while and sighed: "Okay! Go down! ”

Xiaomei turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "Master Luo, I think, I think the young master chasing the fairy, he must have fallen into evil." ”

"You are nonsense ......" said two words, and suddenly stopped, it turned out that he thought about it, and felt that Xiaomei would not lie, and this matter was indeed a little mysterious, and he was also a little hesitant about the appearance of the fairy in his heart, and he didn't dare to attack indiscriminately.

Tan Changfeng, who had rarely spoken, suddenly smiled and said, "Xiaomei, go to dinner, take a nap again, and recuperate your spirits. In the afternoon, take Luo Ye and me to the fairy temple to have a look. ”

Xiaomei's face showed a look of horror again, and said, "I don't dare to ...... again."

"Don't be afraid, there is Master Luo and I with you."

Xiaomei was helpless, nodded, and walked away.

In the hall, only Cheng Yuming, Lao Ding and Tan Changfeng remained. Cheng Yuming rubbed his hands and sighed: "Brother Luo, could it be that the fairy of the fairy temple will really appear in the daytime?" ”

Lao Ding said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu, I have been walking in the rivers and lakes for decades, and I have heard and witnessed many strange and strange things, but this is the first time I have heard of the appearance of a fairy. ”

"Well, take a break! In the afternoon, after Luo Ye and I investigated the scene, we might be able to find some clues. ”
