Chapter 9: The Valley of the Medicine King
A few days later, Lu Chenfeng and Wang Po came to a valley, which was surrounded by patches of green bamboo forests, in which birds sang and flowers were fragrant, and from time to time some small birds flew over their heads.
"Brother Wang, it seems that the Medicine King Valley should be around here, it's really beautiful here!" Lu Chenfeng looked at the scenery in the valley and praised Wang Po.
"Yes, Senior Chen said that there is a bamboo forest near Yaowang Valley, and the scenery is beautiful, it seems that this is it. Wang Po picked up a wine jug from behind his back, took a big sip, and then looked at the bamboo forest full of mountains and said.
Many days later, Wang Po has slightly walked out of the pain of losing his wife, but since then, he has always taken two sips of a pot of wine with him, probably using alcohol to seal those bad memories.
The two of them looked at the birds flying overhead, and couldn't help but sigh that this Medicine King Valley was really picturesque.
"Ahh
The two glanced at each other, and quickly ran in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a stout giant snake spitting a letter fiercely towards a woman.
The woman held a small bamboo pole in her hand and a bamboo basket on her back, looking panicked at the giant snake. The giant snake suddenly stood up, looked at the weak prey in front of it, and its huge body quickly wriggled and rushed towards the woman.
At the last moment, Lu Chenfeng, who rushed to hear the sound, pulled out the spear on his back and quickly threw it at the giant snake, with a move "Divine Dragon Swinging Tail", a huge force on the spear shot out, and the spear slapped on the giant snake like a divine dragon.
Hiss, the giant snake was a little stunned by the shot, and quickly crawled to the side with a scream. Lu Chenfeng and Wang Po arrived in time, and the spear in Lu Chenfeng's hand was horizontal, blocking the woman in front of him and protecting the woman behind him.
The giant snake looked at the two humans who suddenly appeared in front of it, and felt a powerful momentum from them, a strong sense of fear came over it, and it knew that if it stepped forward again, it would definitely be killed.
Hiss, the giant snake angrily spit out the letter at the two, turned its head and crawled away quickly, and Wang Po on the side wanted to chase after him with a broken knife.
"Don't chase it, let it go," the woman behind her said loudly to the two.
Lu Chenfeng turned his head to look at the woman, the woman was dressed in pink, and her dignified appearance revealed an indescribable sense of bewitchment, the green silk was draped, only tied with a pink hairband, and a pink light gauze revealed a trace of white skin, which was beautiful, and the phoenix eyes were rippling, which could capture the soul and sway, and the lips were like cherry blossoms, which led people to infinite reverie.
"Hey, look at it again, my eyes are falling. Wang Po on the side stretched out his hand and patted Lu Chenfeng's head and said jokingly.
Lu Chenfeng glanced at the woman in embarrassment, and found that she didn't react, so he put his mind at ease and said to the woman: "Girl, are you okay, why are you here alone?"
Looking at Lu Chenfeng, who was holding back with a flushed face, the woman smiled and thanked Lu Chenfeng's enemy: "Thank you two young heroes for your help, I'm fine, I came down the mountain this time to collect some medicinal herbs, and I was about to go back, but I didn't expect to meet this big snake." ”
"It should have been killed just now, such a big snake should be quite delicious" Wang Po on the side looked at the direction of the giant snake's escape, licked his lips and said.
"All the creatures in this bamboo forest can't be killed, this is the rule of the Medicine King Valley, I hope the two of you can abide by it. The woman glanced at Wang Po and reminded.
"Medicine King Valley!" Lu Chenfeng and the others heard the woman mention the Medicine King Valley, then she must have a connection with this Medicine King Valley.
Lu Chenfeng clenched his fists with both hands and looked at the woman in front of him. "Under Lu Chenfeng, this is Wang Po, I don't know the girl's surname? I just heard the girl mention the Medicine King Valley, I don't know if it's the heir of the Medicine King Valley? Do you know where the old Medicine King of the Medicine King Valley is?" Lu Chenfeng asked several questions in one breath.
The woman looked at the frizzy Lu Chenfeng, a little funny, but this person had just saved herself, and she didn't have a seizure, so she couldn't hold back a smile and said, "My name is Su Mohan, and I am indeed from the Medicine King Valley, what are you looking for the old Medicine King?"
"It turns out that it is really the heir of the Medicine King Valley, Miss Su, it's like this, my eldest brother Wang has been tricked, and we want to find the medicine king's seniors to help treat it. Lu Chenfeng, who was on the side, was overjoyed when he heard that the woman was indeed the heir of the Medicine King Valley, and he glanced at Wang Po and said to Su Mohan.
Su Mohan heard Lu Chenfeng's explanation and said thoughtfully, "Do you know the rumors of the Medicine King of the Medicine King Valley?"
"Rumors, we only know that the medicine king has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and there is no second person in the world who has this medical skill. Lu Chenfeng was a little confused when he heard Su Mohan's words.
"You only know that the Medicine King has superb medical skills and rejuvenation, but you don't know that the old Medicine King of the Medicine King Valley has a strange temper, and it is rumored in the world that there is nothing that the Medicine King cannot be treated, only what he does not want to treat. Unless he takes the initiative to go out to the mountain to heal people, he will not meet anyone, so I am afraid that you will come for nothing. Su Mohan pursed his lips and spread his hands, looked at Lu Chenfeng and said.
After hearing this, Wang Po said to Su Mohan: "Please Miss Su help us introduce the medicine king, and as for whether he is willing to heal me, I will also try it." ”
"That's right, Miss Su, please take us to see the Medicine King, whether the Medicine King's predecessors are willing or not, we have to give it a try. Lu Chenfeng, who was on the side, also stepped forward and said.
Su Mohan looked at the two of them with sincere faces, and his heart was a little shaken: "Okay, I can take you into the Medicine King Valley, but it is up to you whether the Medicine King and his old man can help you." ”
Su Mohan led the two of them through a bamboo forest, and the three of them came to a small valley, the scenery in the valley is charming, colorful butterflies are flying on the flowers, a small stream flows slowly on the side of the valley, and a clearing in front of the valley is planted with all kinds of herbs.
Lu Chenfeng and the others were attracted by the scenery in front of them, and at this time, a man in white walked briskly from the valley.
"Xiao Han, who are they, how do you bring outsiders into the valley!" the man in white looked at Lu Chenfeng behind Su Mohan and said with some anger.
"Senior Brother Wang, these two just rescued me at the bottom of the mountain, and it happened that they were looking for a teacher to treat their injuries, so I brought them up. Su Mohan looked at the man who came and said calmly.
"Hmph, have you forgotten the rules of the Medicine King Valley, the Medicine King Valley is not allowed to bring outsiders into the Valley casually, and why did these two people save you so coincidentally, don't you want to think about it?" The man surnamed Wang pointed at Lu Chenfeng and the others, and said loudly at Su Mohan.
"What? What do you mean by that?" Wang Po on the side heard the questioning of the man surnamed Wang, and instantly said angrily.
"That's enough, Senior Brother Wang, no matter how I say they're also my lifesavers, it's a little inappropriate for you to treat them like this. Su Mohan shouted loudly.
"Hmph, Su Mohan, you haven't sat in the position of the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley, and you have set up a shelf with me so quickly. Since you insist on taking these two people into the valley, then please do it, and then these two people will show their true colors, and see how you end!" The man surnamed Wang said and turned to leave.
"What the hell, this person is too self-righteous, if it weren't for the place where this is the Medicine King Valley, I would have gone up and beaten him a long time ago. Wang Po took a sip of wine from the wine jug and said to Lu Chenfeng.
Su Mohan looked at Lu Chenfeng and the others a little uneasy, glanced at the direction where the man surnamed Wang left, and said: "I'm really sorry, this person is my senior brother Wang Bing, senior brother and I are both disciples of the Medicine King, we had a good relationship before, a year ago, the master announced that he would pass the Medicine King Valley to me in the future, and since then, the senior brother has become more and more cold to me, and he has been against me everywhere." ”
"Tut-tut, this is a typical envy, jealousy and hatred, this person is not very good. Wang Po looked disdainful.
Lu Chenfeng stabbed Wang Po, and said to Su Mohan with a sincere face: "Since Miss Su is a disciple of the Medicine King, I would like to ask the girl for a favor and let us meet the Medicine King's seniors." ”
"Well, okay, I'll take you to the teacher, but whether the teacher can agree or not, that's not up to me. Su Mohan looked at Lu Chenfeng, who was sincerely pleading, and agreed to his request.
On a hill in the Medicine King Valley, in front of a simple thatched house, Su Mohan took Lu Chenfeng and the others here, "Teacher, Mohan is back, this time I met a giant snake on the way back, fortunately, these two young heroes helped, and when I learned that they were going to come to the teacher for treatment, I took them back to the valley." ”
"It's good to be back, and as for them, go down the mountain. An old voice came from the thatched hut.
"Senior, please help me heal, any request from the junior can be agreed. Wang Po looked at the thatched house and said loudly.
There was silence, no matter what Wang Po said, there was no response from the thatched house.
"Hmph, the teacher asked you to go, you don't talk nonsense anymore, is it really bad for me to plot against my Medicine King Gu here?" Just when Wang Po and the others shouted at the thatched house, Wang Bing, who was dressed in white, walked over and asked Lu Chenfeng and the others loudly.
Seeing this, Lu Chenfeng glanced at Wang Bing on the side, and said loudly into the thatched house: "Forget it, Brother Wang, it seems that this Medicine King Valley is not as rumored, it seems that this Medicine King is not capable of healing you, let's go to Miaojiang, I don't believe it, no one can crack the Heart Binding Gu in your body in this big world." ”
"Okay, let's go, it seems that this medicine king is indeed not as divine as rumored, forget it, it's a big deal to directly pinch this heart Gu when the time comes, and after eighteen years, he will be a good man again." Wang Po understood Lu Chenfeng's intentions, and shouted loudly at the thatched house. Still didn't respond, Lu Chenfeng and Wang Po looked at the thatched house with some disappointment, and were about to turn around and leave.
"Wait! You said Binding Heart Gu? Are you looking for me to heal Binding Heart Gu?" Just as the two of them walked outside, the wooden door of the thatched hut suddenly opened, and an old man with white hair asked the two.
The old man was sixty or seventy years old, with a weather-beaten face, two deep-set eyes, deep and bright, looking very godly, a silver-white hair scattered behind his back, dancing gently in the wind, he was wearing a clean white robe, and looked at Lu Chenfeng and the others.
Seeing that Lu Chenfeng and the others did not speak, the old man continued to ask anxiously: "Do you want to untie your heart Gu!"
Lu Chenfeng looked at the old medicine king who was anxiously going out, and he was overjoyed, and instantly replied respectfully: "Yes, senior, we really want to ask you to help crack the Binding Heart Gu." ”
The old man heard that it was indeed a bound heart Gu, and then hurriedly asked, "Who are you being ordered by Gu, and where are you being placed by Gu!"
Wang Po looked at the anxious Medicine King with some doubts, but he also replied patiently: "A month ago, the two of us found out that there were people missing in Qingyang City, Lingnan, so we tracked it down, and finally found a black-robed man who was arresting some young men and women. As he spoke, Wang Po thought of his dead wife Qingqing, and his eyes were slightly red.
Seeing this, Lu Chenfeng interrupted Wang Po and continued at the old medicine king: "Let's talk about it, we followed the black-robed man to an underground secret room, and found that the man didn't know what kind of evil skill he was cultivating, and he actually absorbed the essence of a living person, and then refined the corpse into a puppet. We fought with him, and Brother Wang was plotted by him to plot this bundle of heart Gu. ”
"Nie Hongge! it's him, it's definitely him, this bastard!" Lu Chenfeng finished speaking, and the old medicine king excitedly shouted a person's name.
Su Mohan and Wang Bing on the side also said with a look of surprise: "Senior brother?"
Ahem, the old medicine king angrily scolded Nie Hongge in his mouth for a long time, trembling with anger, coughing up a mouthful of turbidity, Su Mohan on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help, and gently patted the back of the medicine king.
The old medicine king slowed down, and said to Lu Chenfeng and the others: "The person who gave you the Gu should be my eldest apprentice Nie Hongge, he is talented and has followed me to learn medical skills since he was a child, and by chance he got a book of evil arts, which is the evil art of sucking the essence of living people to replenish himself, and the method of refining human puppets.
"Teacher, let's drink saliva first. Su Mohan on the side brought the old man a glass of water.
The old man took a sip of water and continued: "When I found out about this, I scolded him fiercely and asked him to destroy the evil art, but I didn't expect that the rebel actually kept a manuscript for himself. After that, my daughter Xiaorou got a strange disease, and I didn't find a cure for this strange disease, so I could only watch Xiaorou leave me forever.
The more the old medicine king spoke, the more angry he became, "In those days, he suddenly came to me and said that there was a way in his evil art to bring Xiao Rou back to life, and when I heard this, I immediately scolded him again. Tell him that if he doesn't stop practicing that evil skill, he will be expelled from the sect, just when I was about to bury Xiao Rou, I found that the bastard stole Xiao Rou's body, and since then he has left the Medicine King Valley and never returned, I sent people all over the world to search for him until now, but I have not found him. ”
The old medicine king said, tears left in his cloudy eyes, "Hateful, this bastard! Poor my Rou'er, I can't rest in peace after death." ”
