Chapter Thirty-Six: Return to the Valley of Hundred Flowers
Hundred Flowers Valley, among the hundred flowers, Ruoxi is watering each flower very seriously, just like caring for his own children. Ruoxi, who hasn't seen Ren Xiaoyao for three years, has spent every day in the thought of Ren Xiaoyao, and has slowly become mature. Today's Ruoxi, in addition to still being cute and innocent, has more mature beauty. In addition to raising some flowers and herbs and studying medical books, Ruoxi's biggest hobby is refining Baicao Dan and brewing Baihua Wine, and now Ruoxi's level in refining Baicao Dan and brewing Baihua Wine is much higher than that of her master, Mr. Baicao. Ruoxi promised Ren Xiaoyao to brew a lot of Baihua wine for him to drink when he returned to Baihua Valley, and also promised to refine more Baicao Dan for him, so in the past three years, Ruoxi has stupidly done these two things, and used all the materials that can be used in Baihua Valley, which made Mr. Baicao's heart ache.
"Ruoxi, how are you?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Ruoxi, Ruoxi's whole body shook, this voice was too familiar, it was the voice she had been thinking about for three years. Ruoxi knew that he was back, and only then did he hear Ren Xiaoyao's voice, and Ruoxi's tears couldn't stop flowing. Ruoxi turned his head and wanted to see the appearance of the person who had been thinking about it for three years.
"Hell!!"
Ruoxi, who turned around, saw a person who was dressed in rags, his skin was swollen and purple, and there were large and small blood blisters everywhere, and there was thick blood bubbling inside, so he was so frightened that he sat down in fright, with a frightened face.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, I'm Ren Yao. β
The ghost man Ren Xiaoyao said to Ruoxi with a smile, but at this time he laughed more scarily.
"Brother Xiaoyao, it's you, how did you become like this, and you were poisoned so badly. Ruoxi, who was frightened, took a closer look, it was indeed Ren Xiaoyao, and she was so worried in her heart that she couldn't care about being scared and crying, so she stepped forward directly, wanting to support Ren Xiaoyao.
"Don't touch me, I'm poisonous. β
Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly got out of the way and stood in a place far away from Ruoxi, staggering, he was afraid that he would pass on his poison to Ruoxi.
"Come with me. β
Saying that, Ruoxi didn't care about Ren Yao, turned around and ran desperately in the direction of Baicaotang. Ruoxi can't practice martial arts because of his special physique, but he has been collecting medicine outside all the year round, and his physique is not weak. Although Ren Xiaoyao has gradually run out of oil, it is still easy to catch up with Ruoxi's pace.
As soon as she arrived at Baicao Hall, Ruoxi hurriedly called out to her master. Mr. Baicao was studying herbal medicine, and when he heard Ruoxi shouting at him in a hurry, he thought something was wrong, and hurriedly went out to take a look, and saw Ruoxi followed by a terrifying person, and thought that someone was going to be unfavorable to Ruoxi, and was just about to make a move, but was stopped by Ruoxi.
"Brother Xiaoyao is back, he has been poisoned, Master save him. β
"Come with me into the house. β
Mr. Baicao looked at Ren Xiaoyao's appearance, knew that the situation was strict, and said that after Ren Xiaoyao entered the house, he was the first to enter the house.
As soon as Ren Xiaoyao entered the house, he staggered and spit out a mouthful of black blood, which startled Ruoxi. Mr. Baicao seemed much calmer, he took out a few pills, and really let Ren Xiaoyao take it.
"These pills are all used to save lives, the effect is strong, you are in a special situation now, and I don't know if you can be saved, so just take them." β
Ren Xiaoyao obeyed his words, and Ren Xiaoyao had nothing to worry about at this time, and completely handed over his life to Ruoxi and Mr. Baicao. Ruoxi heard Mr. Baicao say that Ren Xiaoyao didn't know if he could be saved, and his heart was sad, and his tears almost came out again, but this was not the time to cry, Ruoxi desperately held back his tears.
After Ren Xiaoyao took the pill, Ruoxi, under the command of Mr. Baicao, used a special silver needle to pierce dozens of big holes around Ren Xiaoyao's body, and almost all the blood in Ren Xiaoyao's body was released, and the black and smelly blood flowed all over the ground, and even the floor was corroded. Ren Xiaoyao, whose blood was about to be drained, was stuffed into a few strange pills by Mr. Baicao, Ren Xiaoyao is now unconscious, and the medicinal effect cannot be refined, all of which are refined with the help of Mr. Baicao's luck. After that, Ren Xiaoyao was placed in a special huge wooden basin, which was full of medicinal herbs, and even some living creatures, all of which let Mr. Baicao make a special potion for Ren Xiaoyao to soak in, and this soak was seven days and seven nights.
"Master, can Brother Xiaoyao be saved?" Looking at Ren Xiaoyao, who was unconscious in the wooden basin, Ruoxi, who hadn't spoken much for seven days, asked worriedly.
Looking at his apprentice's worried look, Baicao sighed in his heart and said:
"If your medical skills are not worse than mine, you should know that Ren Xiaoyao's poisoning is too deep, and it has penetrated deep into the internal organs, and it stands to reason that ordinary people would have died a long time ago, and I don't know how he persevered until this time and didn't die. We drained the poisonous blood in his body, and then used medicine to neutralize the poison in his body, as long as he persisted in this process for another three days without dying, he would be considered to have crossed the first ghost gate. However, the poison in him is too deep, and I estimate that he will have to soak the potion of poisonous blood in his body more than a dozen times to roughly remove the poison from his body, as long as he does not die in the first three times, it will be fine.
"I also know that Brother Xiaoyao's situation is not optimistic, but I'm just worried! Woo!" Saying that, Ruoxi was already crying on the side, thinking that crying here at Ren Xiaoyao might affect Ren Xiaoyao's treatment, so he hurriedly went outside, found a place where no one was, and cried happily for a long time.
For three months in a row, Ren Xiaoyao continued to release poisonous blood, soaking the potion thirteen times, the first time it was used for ten days, the second time it was used for seven days, and the time used later became shorter and shorter, one is that the poisonous blood in Ren Xiaoyao's body is getting less and less, and moreover, after Ren Xiaoyao is awake, he can use his power to absorb the medicinal effect of the potion, so that the time for soaking the potion is greatly reduced. The first three times, Ren Xiaoyao almost died, and several times he passed through the ghost gate, he was taken care of by the side, and from time to time he pricked a few needles for Ren Xiaoyao, or added some medicine to the potion. In this way, a month later, Ren Xiaoyao's toxicity was basically stable, although the poison in his body was still very heavy, but Ren Xiaoyao had already woken up from his coma.
Ren Xiaoyao, who was soaking in the potion, woke up for the first time in a month, and saw Ruoxi lying on the side of the wooden basin falling asleep, if it weren't for the strong smell of medicine in the room, Ren Xiaoyao would definitely be able to smell it, Ruoxi, who hadn't taken a bath for a month, was sour and stinky. Looking at Ruoxi's sleeping appearance, Ren Xiaoyao smiled happily, suddenly thought of Su Birou, felt a pain in his heart, and unconsciously leaned against the edge of the wooden basin, making a slight noise, but woke up Ruoxi who was sleeping.
Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao woke up, Ruoxi's heart that had been hanging for a month finally relaxed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Brother Xiaoyao, you finally woke up, do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your hard work. β
Ren Xiaoyao didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but seeing Ruoxi's current appearance was much thinner than when he saw her before he was unconscious, he knew that Ruoxi must have suffered a lot in order to take care of him these days, and he couldn't bear it, so he reached out and stroked Ruoxi's face, this intimate action made Ruoxi blush like a ripe peach, and hurriedly avoided it in shame.
"I'm not hard, as long as Brother Xiaoyao is okay, I'm willing to work hard. Ruoxi was embarrassed to let Xiaoyao's intimate movements, and hid to the side and reddened to make medicine.
"Old man, I haven't had a good rest for nearly a month, why can't I hear the greeting of the free boy?"
Mr. Baicao took hundreds of bottles and cans from outside the house, carried them in a large basket, brought them into the house, heard the conversation between Ren Xiaoyao and Ruoxi, and quipped.
"The junior thanked Mr. Baicao for saving his life, and he opened his mouth in the place where I could use it. β
Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved, but his face was extremely stern and said to Mr. Baicao. This Mr. Baicao called him Xiaoyao Gongzi, obviously knowing Ren Xiaoyao's affairs. Ren Xiaoyao was a little suspicious that the previous assassination was related to the know-it-all, and the know-it-all knew Mr. Baicao, and Ren Xiaoyao didn't know the Cheng dΓΉ they knew, but he didn't think it was low. At the beginning, Mr. Baicao gave Ren Xiaoyao a letter and asked him to bring it to the know-it-all as a letter of recommendation, but at that time, Ren Xiaoyao already had a high status in the rivers and lakes, so he didn't bother to take out the letter of recommendation, so he didn't take it out. Now that Mr. Baicao knows Ren Xiaoyao's affairs in the rivers and lakes, and knows everyone from all trades, he has to let Ren Xiaoyao keep an eye on it. However, Mr. Baicao saved him after all, and Ren Xiaoyao only kept an extra eye and didn't think more.
"This is what you promised yourself, and when the time comes, when the old man asks for something, Ren Gongzi should not forget what he said just now. When Mr. Baicao heard Ren Xiaoyao's words, his eyes lit up and he said.
"What I have said has always counted. β
Ren Xiaoyao said solemnly, although listening to Mr. Baicao's tone, it seems that there is really something to be done by Ren Xiaoyao. But it doesn't matter if you are free, your life is saved by others, and you should do something for others.
"Master, Brother Xiaoyao is not an outsider, why do you want Brother Xiaoyao to repay him?"
Ruoxi is not happy, she saved Ren Xiaoyao It was all out of sincerity, Mr. Baicao said this, and even her behavior in the past month seemed to have a purpose, she was afraid that Ren Xiaoyao would misunderstand.
"Hey, what a poor old man, I, now that I'm an outsider, the girl now puts me aside as soon as she sees your carefree brother. β
Mr. Baicao pretended to be pitiful and sighed on the side, which made Ruoxi's little face red, and he just wanted to pull Mr. Baicao's beard, but when he stood up, he was dizzy and fell to the side.
"Ruoxi!"
"Girl!"
Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly stood up from the basin, and saw that Mr. Baicao had already gone to check Ruoxi's condition, so he sat back in the basin.
"Ruoxi, how is she?" As soon as Mr. Baicao finished his diagnosis, Ren Xiaoyao asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't rested much for a month, I'm overtired, I've fainted, I'll be fine with a good rest. Mr. Baicao said.
Ren Xiaoyao's heart is determined.
......
Since Ren Xiaoyao first woke up, Ren Xiaoyao has been able to move freely, and he has also been able to heal the poison on his own. However, Ruoxi still served Ren Xiaoyao as a patient, and fed Ren Xiaoyao when he ate, which made Ren Xiaoyao very embarrassed and very moved. Ren Xiaoyao knew that Ruoxi had taken care of himself and lost a lot of weight some time ago, so he deliberately played a small character, changed his way to eat delicious food, and also ate with Ruoxi, if Ruoxi didn't eat, he wouldn't eat, and if Ruoxi ate as much as he wanted, he would eat as much as Ruoxi. Ruoxi was worried about Ren Xiaoyao's body, so what she did for Ren Xiaoyao was very supplemental, and in order to let Ren Xiaoyao eat more, she had to accompany Ren Xiaoyao to eat more, so soon after, Ruoxi's weak body was replenished again.
Ren Xiaoyao self-examined his skills and found that his skills were only half of his usual strength, but fortunately, Ren Xiaoyao's martial arts training foundation was not destroyed, and these lost internal forces could be practiced again sooner or later. In addition, it is the mysterious power in Ren Xiaoyao's body, before Ren Xiaoyao forcibly took five spirit gathering pills, raising that mysterious power to a limit, as if breaking through a bottleneck. Although Ren Xiaoyao squandered that mysterious power after that, at this time, Ren Xiaoyao clearly felt that the mysterious power in his body not only did not decrease, but increased. Ren Xiaoyao can also vaguely feel that this heaven and earth are full of that kind of mysterious power, and his body can slowly absorb this mysterious power, but the speed of self-absorption is very slow.
"It seems that the mysterious power between heaven and earth is really the aura of heaven and earth, but how should I absorb this mysterious power, if I rely on my body to absorb it, it will be too slow. β
Ren Xiaoyao thought about it, went to an open place, and tried to sense the aura of heaven and earth, but after sensing it for a morning, although he could vaguely sense the aura of heaven and earth, he didn't know how to absorb it, and he didn't even know how his body absorbed the aura of heaven and earth.
Ruoxi cooked a meal for Ren Xiaoyao and sent it to Ren Xiaoyao, and when he saw Ren Xiaoyao meditating on the closed, he watched from the sidelines. After Ren Xiaoyao came to the Valley of Hundred Flowers, Ruoxi seemed very busy, at first he was busy detoxifying Ren Xiaoyao, and later he was busy making food for Ren Xiaoyao. Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao finished meditating, Ruoxi stepped forward and said:
"Brother Xiaoyao, come and eat, it's not delicious when it's cold. β
"Ruoxi, thank you. Ren Xiaoyao smiled, got up and walked to Ruoxi's side.
"Brother Xiaoyao doesn't need to be so polite to me, it's all my own volition. β
Ruoxi was very happy that Ren Xiaoyao returned to the Valley of Hundred Flowers again, but Ren Xiaoyao, who returned to the Valley of Hundred Flowers again, seemed to have changed a lot, at least he was very polite to Ruoxi, which made Ruoxi a little awkward, but he couldn't say why.
"Brother Xiaoyao, how are you practicing, I haven't seen you meditate to practice before?" Ruoxi, who was giving Ren Xiaoyao a meal, asked casually.
Ruoxi's favorite thing before was to watch Ren Xiaoyao practice swords, Ren Xiaoyao likes to deduce swordsmanship, the moves are strange, but they are as natural as flowing water, Ruoxi every time he looks at Ren Xiaoyao practicing swords, he has a feeling of fascination. Ren Xiaoyao once mentioned that he wanted to teach Ruoxi swordsmanship, but Ruoxi had a special physique and was born unable to cultivate internal strength, and Ren Xiaoyao simply taught her some moves, but Ruoxi did not have internal force support, and the moves could not be practiced well, so Ren Xiaoyao gave up later.
"I lost half of my internal force by poisoning this time, I have to repair my internal force back first, and when my internal strength is restored, I will practice the sword to Ruoxi, okay?"
Ren Xiaoyao touched Ruoxi's hair and said to Ruoxi with a smile. Ren Xiaoyao has a habit since returning to the Valley of Flowers again, she likes to touch Ruoxi's head, that is, the hair on her head, Ruoxi was a little embarrassed at first, but then she got used to it after many times, every time Ren Xiaoyao touched her hair, she had a feeling of happiness.
"Brother Xiaoyao, look, what is this?" was touched by Ren Xiaoyao's specially washed hair this morning, Ruoxi was very happy in his heart, took out a gourd, sent it to Ren Xiaoyao, and said.
Ren Xiaoyao took the gourd suspiciously, and as soon as he opened it, a burst of fragrance came into his nose.
"Baicao Dan! There should be hundreds of pills! Ruoxi, you haven't been refining this for the past three years, right?"
Ren Xiaoyao was really shocked, Ren Xiaoyao knew that this Baicao Dan was a rare commodity in the rivers and lakes, and it had a miraculous effect on the growth of internal force, and it was rare for idle people to see it once. This time it is a few hundred grains, it should be all the inventory of Baihua Valley, and the most important thing is that this is all refined by Ruoxi in the past three years, which shows how much sweat Ruoxi has put in behind it.
"After Brother Xiaoyao left, I asked my master to learn the refining method of Baicao Dan, and then I refined it myself, a total of two hundred and eighty-six grains, but unfortunately the materials of Baihua Valley are limited, otherwise there will be more. β
Seeing Ren Xiaoyao's surprised expression, Ruoxi looked very happy, Ren Xiaoyao's surprise meant that he still needed Baicao Dan, Ruoxi was afraid that Ren Xiaoyao didn't need it in the end, then all her efforts would be in vain.
"Thank you, Ruoxi!"
Ren Xiaoyao suddenly hugged Ruoxi and said affectionately. This is the most intimate action Ren Xiaoyao has ever done to Ruoxi since returning to the Valley of Hundred Flowers, Ruoxi, who was being held, had a red face and shortness of breath, she was embarrassed to hold Ren Xiaoyao, but she was reluctant to let go of Ren Xiaoyao so quickly, so she leaned her head on Ren Xiaoyao's shoulder and closed her eyes happily. Ren Xiaoyao, who was holding Ruoxi, had a painful expression, and faintly shed tears, he remembered Su Birou, remembered that Su Birou was also very good to him, but he had to commit suicide because of Ren Xiaoyao's suspicions, and Ren Xiaoyao blamed himself in his heart. Ren Xiaoyao hugged Ruoxi tighter, Ruoxi's feelings for him he knew, he really didn't want Ruoxi to have the same ending as Su Birou.
Ruoxi, who was hugged tighter, was a little breathless, opened her eyes and saw Ren Xiaoyao's tears, she became anxious, her eyes were full of tears, thinking that she had done something wrong.
"Brother Xiaoyao, why are you crying? Did Ruoxi do something wrong? These herbs are all refined by myself, and I also refined them voluntarily, I ......"
Seeing Ren Xiaoyao's painful expression and crying, Ruoxi looked at a loss, and his speech was a little incoherent.
"It's okay, Ruoxi, I was just moved to tears, how about I tell you a story?" Ren Xiaoyao wiped away his tears, wiped Ruoxi's tears again, and comforted with a smile.
"Hmm!"
Although Ruoxi wondered what story Ren Xiaoyao wanted to tell her, as long as Ren Xiaoyao told it, she was willing to listen to it.
Then, Ren Xiaoyao told Ruoxi all the things he had experienced from leaving the Valley of Hundred Flowers to returning to the middle of the Valley of Hundred Flowers to Ruoxi, from Xiaoyao Mountain Villa to Xiaoyao Tower, to Xiaoyao City, all the way to challenging the celebrities of the rivers and lakes, and destroying the sects of the rivers and lakes, he was fascinated by it. Especially when talking about the story of him and Su Birou, Ren Xiaoyao told it in great detail, until Ren Xiaoyao was poisoned, suspected to be Su Birou, Su Birou saw that Ren Xiaoyao no longer trusted her, and resolutely committed suicide to prove her innocence. Later, it was how crazy Ren Xiaoyao was, how he killed the rivers and lakes, and how he returned to the Valley of Hundred Flowers.......
Ruoxi was still very excited and happy when she first heard Ren Xiaoyao's story, until she heard the story of Ren Xiaoyao and Su Birou, her expression was obviously a little unnatural, as if she was a little aggrieved and jealous, but Ren Xiaoyao continued to talk as if she didn't see her expression. Later, when Su Birou committed suicide to prove her innocence, and when Ren Xiaoyao went crazy and killed boundlessly, Ruoxi no longer had a jealous expression, but was infected by Ren Xiaoyao's story, and she had already cried a lot.
