Chapter 19: The Valley of the Medicine Ghosts
Earlier than Shen Yusheng expected, it was only a day and a half for them to see the destination this time, the Valley of the Medicine Ghosts.
Although there is a ghost word in the name of the medicine ghost valley, it is an apricot forest holy land, its successive valley lords have unparalleled medical skills in the world, and it is rumored that if all the true legends of the medicine ghost valley are obtained, the living dead, flesh and bones, which also leads to people suffering from incurable diseases all over the Great Xuan to come here to seek medicine, and the door is like a city, but since the old valley lord passed away, after the new valley lord took office, everything has changed, because the new valley lord is an outlier.
The name of the new valley lord is Li Que, he is a poison doctor, although the medicine ghost valley is a doctor, but most of the absolute schools in the valley need to be based on qi to be able to learn, Li Que is not talented, there is no hope for six products in this life, but when everyone gave up on him, Li Que found another way, learned pharmacology, entered the medicine with poison, and in the case of discarding the inheritance of the medicine ghost valley, he made great achievements, and overwhelmed all the contemporary brothers and became the valley master.
A valley master who did not know the inheritance of the Medicine Ghost Valley made the rest of the Medicine Ghost Valley a joke, and the disciples angrily scolded him for his deviance, and left one after another to set up their own doors, and as a result, the once prosperous Medicine Ghost Valley declined without warning.
"Here we are." Shen Yusheng stopped his horse and stopped in front of the Medicine Ghost Valley, and heard that since then, there was only one person left in the Medicine Ghost Valley, Li Que, who planted a poisonous miasma at the entrance of the valley, and died without permission, looking at the white smoke miasma rolling at the mouth of the valley, Shen Yusheng and the others did not dare to move.
"Sanhe Dart Bureau, come here to get medicine, please let the valley master go!" Liang Yujue stepped forward and shouted, his voice echoing between the canyons.
"Wait a minute, everybody." It's a crisp girlish voice.
Liang Yujue and Shen Yusheng glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes, didn't they hear that Li Que had a wife and daughter?
After a short wait, a girl with hair in a white dress walked out of the miasma, and when she saw Shen Yusheng and a few people, she first saluted, and then said: "My master has not yet completed the medicine you need, maybe a few of you will have to wait in the valley for a few days, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"It's okay, if you don't delay anything for a few days, then bother the girl to lead the way." Liang Yujue dismounted and saluted back.
The girl in the white dress escaped from the sachet and handed a few brown pills to Liang Yujue, let the four people and the horses take the pills, and then took them into the valley, there were many strange flowers and insects along the way, Hong Zhengwei saw a good-looking flower butterfly, wanted to touch it, but was stopped by the girl in the white dress.
"That's the four-winged colorful butterfly cultivated by my master, I came out too quickly today, I didn't bring its antidote pill, if you touch it, you may not be able to survive into the valley and die." The girl seemed to be talking to herself, and her understated tone made Hongzhengwei panic, and she quickly withdrew her hand and spit a few mouthfuls of saliva on her hand and rubbed it clean.
This little episode made the four of them become cautious, for fear that they would accidentally be poisoned, and they would die with a whimper, but fortunately, the canyon was not long, and the group soon entered the valley, there are caves in the Valley of Medicine Ghosts, rare birds and beasts, and precious medicinal plants can be seen everywhere, Shen Yusheng sighed that even if it declines, the heritage of the Medicine Ghost Valley should not be underestimated.
"By the way, in Xia Shen Yusheng, I haven't asked the girl's name yet." Shen Yusheng remembered that at first, he was surprised to find that there were people other than Li Que in the Medicine Ghost Valley, and he actually lost his courtesy, and he didn't ask the name of the girl.
Liang Yujue heard Shen Yusheng speak, this time he remembered that he had forgotten about it, glanced at Shen Yusheng secretly, and complained about why he didn't remind himself, Shen Yusheng had no choice but to spread his hands.
The girl in the white dress didn't look back and said, "Hu Xi, you can just call me Doctor Hu." ”
"Doctor Hu, this is our dart head, Liang Yujue, these two are Hong Zhengwei and Hou Yun, and they have been bothered for the past two days."
Shen Yusheng introduced the rest of the people by the way, but he didn't expect that this little girl looked younger than him, and she was actually a doctor?
Hu Xi nodded coldly, and after arranging the accommodation of Shen Yusheng and the others, he left. "This little girl, her face is quite cold."
Hong Zhengwei picked up the teapot and took a big sip, a little unhappy with Hu Xi's performance of rejecting people thousands of miles away just now, what a little girl doll didn't take others into her eyes.
Shen Yusheng didn't think there was anything, living in such an isolated place, it was normal for his personality to be a little weird, after thinking about it, he frightened: "You gossip behind people's backs, aren't you afraid that she will take advantage of your inattention and drug you to poison you dumb?" ”
was so frightened that Hongzhengwei didn't dare to drink the water, and hurriedly put down the teapot.
And after Hu Xi left, he went around and came to a thatched hut, there was a not-so-good smell near the thatched house, which was the result of Li Que's test of medicine for many years, there was a crackling sound in the house, Hu Xi stood outside and was not in a hurry, just waited, after standing for more than an hour, the thatched hut stopped, a thin man with a goatee opened the door and climbed out, his face was blue and purple, and the poisoning was not light, Hu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to feed two pills of interpretation pill, and the man's face looked better.
"Master, are you okay?" This man is the valley master of the Medicine Ghost Valley, Li Que.
Li Que took two sips of the medicinal wine from his waist, looked at Hu Xi, who was tearful because of worry, and comforted with a smile: "Okay, great, I have found the key to the problem, as long as it takes two days, I can make that flavored medicine." ”
A few days ago, because of the medicinal properties, he suffered a lot, and today he was finally able to solve it, he was overjoyed, poured a big sip of medicinal wine, took a long breath, and laughed. After calming down, Li Que asked, "Have you entertained those dart masters well, and you can't be rude." ”
Hu Xi nodded, shook his head violently, lowered his head, rubbed his fingers on the hem of his skirt and said embarrassedly: "I arranged the best place for them to live in the valley, but ......" Hu Xi did not continue.
Li Que is a little helpless, his own disciple, everywhere is good, but there is a problem, afraid of life, looking unapproachable, in fact, he is simply afraid in his heart, he doesn't dare to talk more, originally this kind of character is not good at being a doctor, but there is no way, Hu Xi's talent in the medical Tao is too good, although he enters the doctor with poison and overwhelms everyone, but this is just his own way, others can't learn it, he has always wanted to find someone to inherit the mantle of the master.
"In the past two days, you will be responsible for the daily living and food of several of them, and take this opportunity to exercise more, you know."
Li Que pinched the face of the cute apprentice, and then let Hu Xi cook.
Turning around and entering the hut again, he knew that he had found the way, and now it was up to him to see what the outcome would be this time.
Shen Yusheng and his entourage were idle in the Valley of Medicine Ghosts for two days, during this period, Hu Xi also treated Shen Yusheng, although Shen Yusheng had Yuehua to heal his injuries, but he was seriously injured one after another, there were still some small problems that were not cured, don't look at it as a small problem, the embankment of a thousand miles, collapsed in the anthill, and with the improvement of the realm in the future, it may become more and more serious.
After seeing Hu Xi's medical skills, Shen Yusheng no longer doubted the title of Doctor Hu, Hu Xi can indeed be called, but compared to this, what makes Shen Yusheng even more curious is that Hu Xi is already a sixth grade at this age, because he is using gold needles to puncture acupoints, he clearly feels the qi.
"Doctor Hu, you actually didn't learn the poison way, but the traditional medicine ghost valley medical skills, as far as I know, Li Gu Master doesn't know the inheritance of the medicine ghost valley." Shen Yusheng asked during the treatment, during this time together, he found that when he usually chatted, Hu Xi looked uninterested, and only when it came to medical skills, she would talk, and she was also interested in discussing.
After Hu Xi finished the last needle, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said: "Shizun really doesn't know the medical skills of the Medicine Ghost Valley, but the Medicine Ghost Valley has medical skills, I can see and learn by myself." ”
Hu Xi's words are sparse and ordinary, as if he is talking about eating rice tonight.
Shen Yusheng, who was like a hedgehog, and Liang Yujue, who was waiting outside, were in turmoil, just by reading medical books, they could learn this by themselves, this is no longer a genius but a demon, and such a young Liupin, those big sects in the outside world will also be contested.
However, for his own realm, Hu Xi explained that there is a special secret technique in the Medicine Ghost Valley that can make people improve to the sixth grade in a short period of time, but it is difficult to ascend to the sky if they want to improve after that.
"What is the use of a doctor saving lives and helping the wounded, with a high grade?" After Hu Xi finished speaking, he waved his hand and took away the golden needle on Shen Yusheng's back and left.
Shen Yusheng moved his body, thinking that there was this kind of secret technique in the Medicine Ghost Valley, but Li Que still failed to break through the seventh grade and enter the sixth grade, how bad should his qualifications be?
At noon on the third day of coming to the Valley of the Medicine Ghosts, Shen Yusheng and the four of them finally saw Li Que, the owner of the valley, which was different from the image of the yin owl in everyone's imagination, Li Que seemed to be a kind little old man next door, and he seemed to welcome them more than Hu Xi, Li Que was indeed really happy, after all, there had been no outsiders in the valley for a long time.
"This is the medicine you need to ship this time." Li Que took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill with a strange pattern, he put the pill in his hand, and rubbed it carefully as if he were a treasure, and then put it back into the porcelain bottle. Liang Yujue stepped forward to take it, Li Que took the porcelain vase back into his arms, and after a while, he was quite reluctant to hand it over, and he also had a handful of snot and tears, which made Shen Yusheng amused, these two masters and apprentices were very interesting.
"By the way, that guy's medicine hasn't been paid yet." Li Que said suddenly.
Liang Yujue was stunned for a moment, no one had told her about this, they all said that the medicine in the Medicine Ghost Valley was priceless, and she didn't think they had enough money to pay it off.
Looking at Liang Yujue, whose face was a little ugly, Li Que knew that she was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "The reward he promised me, well, it is two future corpses, you just need to hand over the medicine to him safely, as for the reward, I will let Hu Xi go with you, and when the time comes, you can send someone to help me send Hu Xi and the corpse back, and it will be used as the medical expenses for treating that kid." ”
Originally, he wanted to go by himself and leave Hu Xi to take care of the house, but when he thought of Hu Xi's temperament, he felt that he still had to let Hu Xi go out to experience the experience.
Hearing the mention of himself, Shen Yusheng stepped forward and said, "I will personally escort Doctor Hu back to the valley when the time comes." ”
It is his illness that should not be bothered.
"Alright, then pack up and go." Li Que turned his head after speaking, and went to the hut again.
Hong Zhengwei complained: "It's all this time, shouldn't we be left for a meal first?" And, what about Miss Hu? ”
"Behind me, Doctor Hu has prepared some food for us, and we can eat on the way." Liang Yujue shook the food in her hand, Hu Xi also shyly poked out half of her head from behind, and Hong Zhengwei laughed embarrassedly.
"Doctor Hu doesn't know how to ride a horse, so just ride with me, let's go, out of the valley."
Several people took the antidote pill and began their return journey.
