Chapter 410: Acceptance
Dong Hou looked at the old man's flying sword, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, Uncle Shi, this is a relic left to you by your master, you must not take this, I have already thought about it, so I will use the spiritual object under my old mansion to give it to Qin Ye, and now we only have that spiritual object that is similar to the pill in value." β
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "That's your father's lifeline, I think if your father comes to his senses, he will definitely not let you change the pill." β
Dong Hou shook his head and said: "Although that spiritual object is important, it can't be compared with my father's life, besides, Qin Ye is going to accept Xiaoqi as an apprentice now, in case he annoys them in the trade of pills, Xiaoqi's future doesn't matter, the lives of our people are under their control." β
The old man looked at Han Shang and the others behind Qin Wen at this time, and had to shake his head and sigh: "It seems that this is the only way now, but let's wait until your father wakes up, and then talk about the spiritual object, don't they can't save your father at that time, and it will be inappropriate for us to compensate the spiritual object again." β
After the two discussed, Dong Hou returned to Qin Wen's side, and said with a respectful expression: "The conditions in this mountain forest are very limited, and I am a little slow to treat Qin Ye, I don't know what questions Qin Ye wants to ask, as long as he knows the Tao in Xia, there will definitely be no concealment." β
Qin Wen nodded and said, "We also just came from the country of the He Blade, I just want to ask you, the country of Huichuan, which country are you at war with now, and how many years have you been fighting?"
Dong Hou thought for a while and said: "Actually, there are often wars on our side, and this country of Huichuan can be regarded as less than a hundred years old. In the past, we belonged to the country of Akatsuki, but in fact, the current king was the general of the country of Akatsuki, when he staged a coup d'Γ©tat, killed the previous king, occupied the land of this kingdom, and changed the name of the country to the country of Inuikawa. β
"But when he launched a coup d'Γ©tat, there was a prince who escaped from the palace, and after the most retreat, this prince worked hard to cultivate, and it is estimated that he has now broken through to the cultivation of the upper level of the Xuanshi, and he has also become the national teacher of the Ziyang Kingdom opposite. This war was started by this prince with the patronage of the king of the Ziyang Kingdom. I still want to regain the original throne of the country of Akatsuki. β
Qin Wen nodded slightly, it seemed that this was also a war caused by a palace coup, so he opened his mouth and continued to ask Dong Houdao: "Just now you said that after your father's illness is cured, you are ready to leave here." Travel to the Land of the Blades. Now he has abandoned these inheritances in the town. When you go to the country of the blade, you want to be someone else's subordinate, are you mentally prepared for this?"
Dong Hou smiled bitterly and said, "This is also something that there is no way to do, Qin Ye, you have also seen it now." Even if we stay here, we will wait for death, I have already asked someone about the market for entering the country of He Blade, my father is a monk of the lower level of the Xuan Master, if he is there, he can go to a family to make offerings or something, then we dozens of clansmen can still live together. β
"If it weren't for my father, the highest realm among us would only be the upper level of the Xuanshi, and it would be a little difficult to bring in so many people at once, besides, we had to avoid the pursuit of the army along the way, and without a monk in the Xuanshi realm, we wouldn't be able to reach the border at all. β
Qin Wen suddenly remembered what he had planned at this time, he originally wanted to hire some locals to help his caravan get familiar with the situation here as soon as possible, but now it seems that this Dong family is a good choice, so he sighed and said: "Dong Hou, if there is a chance for you to stay in the town, and you will not be disturbed by the army and mountain bandits, are you willing to stay?"
Dong Hou was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Of course I am willing, it is good to be at home for a thousand days, and it is difficult to go out for a while, not to mention that this is to escape the famine, if there is a stable environment, even if it is a little more difficult in life, not only me, but even our clansmen will agree to stay." β
Qin Wen nodded and said: "Okay, I'm going to discuss one thing with you, my caravan will often take this road in the future, and I also need the help of some local monks, these monks are brought by me temporarily, you can see their strength, I think it is more than enough to protect a town." β
"I want to treat your town as a stronghold of our caravan in the future, and we can be fully responsible for the security matters, as for how you managed the town before, and Lishan Town will be under your management in the future, my condition is that you will try your best to help our caravan find out the news in the vicinity in the future, and you can't reveal any situation of our caravan to anyone. β
After Dong Hou listened to Qin Wen's words, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face, in this night, Qin Wen's arrival brought him several surprises, first he accepted his son as an apprentice, and then he healed his father, and Qin Wen actually gave them such a safety guarantee.
Dong Hou said excitedly: "Master Qin, don't worry, as long as you can ensure the safety of the town, you can leave the matter of finding out the news to our Dong family in the future, in this country of Huichuan, I can inquire about the prices of all spiritual objects, including the situation of any shop." β
"There is also the situation of the caravan, I swear, no one from the Dong family will leak anything about the caravan in the future, and when my father is sober, I will ask him to write this prohibition on the clan rules. β
Qin Wen bowed slightly: "Okay, I believe you, now you can explain these things I said to your people, if they all agree, then you can get up early tomorrow and go down the mountain, even if I leave here in the future, I will leave you high-level monks to ensure your safety." β
Dong Hou bowed down and agreed, he knew that in this way, although his Dong family was nominally the master of Lishan Town, in fact, the entire Dong family would become Qin Wen's subordinates, but after thinking about it, even if his father recovered from his illness and took his clansmen to the country of He Blade, he would still be someone else's subordinate when he got there.
On the contrary, it is better to stay in Lishan Town, and besides, Qin Wen only asked them to help find out the news, and did not ask about the affairs of other towns, which is basically a kind of cooperation, not to mention that in this period of war, even if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, it is undesirable to have such a strong force and cooperate with his own family.
Dong Hou thought as he walked, he first came to his uncle's side, and discussed with the old man the conditions proposed by Qin Wen, the old man also agreed very much, and then they called all the clansmen over, and everyone agreed to stay in the town to live, thinking that in the future, safety is guaranteed, and there is no need to live away from home, everyone has a trace of joy on their faces.
Just when Dong Hou came back to report to Qin Wen that the clan had agreed, a woman suddenly ran out of the cave, a little unable to suppress her joy, but her voice did not dare to be loud and said: "Ah Hou, your father is awake, thank you Qin Ye, your father has woken up." β
After Dong Hou heard the woman's words, he looked at Qin Wen in surprise, Qin Wen thought that the monks here were very sensitive to pills, and it was normal to wake up at this time, so he took Dong Hou back to the cave, and as soon as he entered the cave, he saw Dong Hou's sister feeding the old man water.
Qin Wen walked to the old man's side, and when he finished drinking the water, he reached out and pressed his veins, feeling that the vitality had gradually run in the meridians, he nodded and said, "It seems that the pill has already worked, by the way, Dong Hou, are you and your father practicing the same kind of skill?"
Dong Hou didn't know why Qin Wen would suddenly mention the skill trick, so he nodded yes, Qin Wen let go of the old man's pulse at this time, and said to Dong Hou: "You are now holding down your father's pulse with your hand, and then running the skill technique, using your vitality to drive your father's vitality to run, now the effect of the antidote pill cannot be fully played by his own vitality alone, with your vitality, you can basically force out the toxins near the wound." β
Dong Hou listened to Qin Wen's words, and hurriedly pressed his father's veins with his right hand, and then ran the gong trick, inputting his own vitality into his father's meridians, and guiding his father's vitality to run in his body for a week, he suddenly felt an obstacle in his chest that blocked the operation of his vitality.
Then he increased the input of his vitality, and the obstacle was immediately washed away, and at this moment, a stream of purple-black pus sprayed directly from the wound on the old man's chest, splashing three feet away, and the purple-black skin at the wound also faded a lot, Qin Wen then signaled Dong Hou to take back the vitality.
After Dong Hou's hand left his father's vein, Qin Wen casually took out another external pill from the storage bag, gently crushed it and sprinkled it on the wound, and the black pus and blood at the wound suddenly turned into a pale yellow liquid and flowed down his chest.
Dong Hou's sister was busy wiping it with a clean cloth towel, at this time the old man opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Qin Wen standing next to the bed, he couldn't help but show a puzzled look, and then he saw Dong Hou behind Qin Wen, and his wriggling lips were a little hoarse and said, "Ah Hou, what is this place?"
Dong Hou saw that his father had come to his senses and could still speak, and the stone that had been suppressed in his heart for several months was finally put down, so he hurriedly said: "This is the back mountain of our town, after you were injured, there were several officers and soldiers and mountain bandits in the town, and everything in our town was also looted. β
Speaking of this, he introduced Qin Wen to his father and said: "This is Qin Ye who came to us to do business, he is a Dan Master, and the poisonous wounds on your body were cured by him, by the way, Dad, he also accepted Xiaoqi as an apprentice, and we will also have Dan Master in the future."
