Xu Wancun said: "How is the kung fu of this hated monk, but the family teacher has never seen it with his own eyes." Mei Zhanxue said: "Speaking of which, I still haven't seen it with my own eyes." "I'm very dissatisfied.

Wei Shuoren said: "If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, what else can you do? Third sister, if you keep interrupting like this, you can make it clear when you don't know when this matter is." ”

Xu Wancun glanced at Mei Zhanxue and said, "When the family master arrived at Shaomu Mountain, it was already too late, but I heard that the hated monk had three palms with the first master of the Dharma Hall, and the result was not superior. ”

Wei Shuoren said: "The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, they say that it is not superior, that is, the hatred of the monk has the advantage." ”

Xu Wancun said: "This person must have real ability, otherwise how can he wander outside the territory for many years? Think about it again, what kind of place is Shaolin Temple? It is a nest of capable people, if everyone doesn't have something with their own eyes, will they let a crazy person eat there? If this spreads, his face will be thrown to his grandmother's house." Chu Qingliu said: "Mr. Xu said very much, Bao Honghuang's second brother's strength can also be used as proof. ”

Xu Wancun said: "The ancestor doesn't know the slightest martial arts, but martial arts and medicine are all done on people, and he doesn't read any books, and he reads as much as he writes with hatred of monks." ”

"Speaking of which, the first master is also a person who scolds the world, otherwise how could he have brought me to this mountain? With his ability, he can choose a capital at will, and he is afraid that he will not be able to make money in the future? He would rather retreat to the barren mountains and not hesitate to abandon his skills. In contrast, the master of the sneaking view is the suzerain of the Shaolin faction, and the hope of the world's martial arts must be cautious in every word and deed, and he cannot be as unscrupulous as the first master, and there are many affairs, so it is difficult to talk to the hated monk thoroughly. ”

"The ancestor said, people outside the territory, more practice muscles and bones, less do tuna, its tuna skills are also very different from the Central Plains, never mention the meridians and acupoints, this matter originally knew a lot, but no one has ever thought deeply about the truth, all of them are attributed to the transformation of the wild people, do not know my Chinese magic arts. But according to the hated monk, it is very different, and the masters and talents of the Western Regions are by no means inferior to our state. ”

Wei Shuoren said: "I believe this. Mei Zhanxue said: "I believe it too, second brother, don't you believe it?" Chu Qingliu said: "I naturally believe it too"

But after reading the book of hating monks, the ancestor felt deeply awkward. He studied the art of meridians all his life, and suddenly saw someone say that the meridians are useless, and that there is another heaven and earth beyond the meridians, isn't it strange?"

"The ancestor said that in his own life, he has been burned from clay to magnetic goods, and he can no longer change it. Wei Shuoren said: "Lao Xu, let me say something presumptuous, he still has insufficient talent." Xu Wancun said: "Where is this presumptuous? A truly talented person has nothing to do, so he should not be embarrassed because he left home halfway." Mei Zhanxue said: "You just scolded the book of hating monks, saying that he slandered the meridians and acupoints, made you unhappy, and said that you have studied all your life the art of meridians, so are you a truly talented person?"

Xu Wancun said: "Of course I am really talented. The technique of meridians, learning what I look like is enough, why bother to learn it all over again? Save time, isn't it good to learn calligraphy?" Wei Shuoren smiled: "Old Xu, you are bragging. ”

Xu Wancun said: "Although the family teacher said that he had no intention of studying the book of hating monks, he said that this book has a deep meaning. He went down to Shaomu Mountain, and used a lot of money to find a famous hand of gold and stone writing, and hated the monk to write one, so he asked the person to imitate one, and he himself checked it himself, where there was a hook, where there was a change, and he was not allowed to go out of shape at all, let alone make a mistake. Let's put it this way, even if the hated monk accidentally leaves an ink spot, the person who copied the book will have to leave an ink spot according to it. Mei Zhanxue flipped through the book in her hand, nodded and said, "There are really black spots." ”

Xu Wancun said: "This is called as true as the real thing." Hate monk wrote for more than half a year, one day selected some manuscripts to send to the master of the dive view, after returning, the pen, ink and paper into a package, take the temple outside to burn, and he also drifted away. Speaking of this book, there was originally no name, and the six words 'The Return of the Western Regions was arbitrary', which was written by Mr. Jinshi from the mouth of the ancestor. ”

"The book in the master's hand, the number of words is not very small, and it has not been rewritten and smeared, but the master said that if you want to talk about the truth, it is still the one in his hand. The one in Shaolin Temple, as you know, didn't take long for the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion to catch fire, and there was no piece of paper left. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Mr. Xu, can I read this book?" Xu Wancun said: "Yes, why can't you?" But if you get sick because of this, I may not be able to cure it. The diving master also said that there were Tianzhu monks in Shaolin Temple, and it is said that not only Tianzhu, but also the west of Tianzhu, there is also the method of vomiting and acupuncture. It is not appropriate to delve into knowledge, whether it is paranoid about ancient Chinese methods or foreign skills. This book can be used to broaden your horizons, and if you want to use it as a supreme secret book, I don't think you need to. ”

Chu Qing agreed again and again, took the book, and thanked Mr. Xu for the order. But Bao Honghuang has seen it with his own eyes, and if he wants to say that the book of hating monks is useless, he can't believe it. Anyway, I have nothing to do, except for eating and sleeping, I hold a book in my hand and watch intently.

Mei Zhanxue's heart to learn poison is not weaker than him at all. She has never learned martial arts honestly, and after getting acquainted with Wei Shuoren and Chu Qingliu, everything she learned was strange tricks and strange killings, relying on cleverness and deceit. This kind of weakness, she herself is not unaware, Qu Lingyu's skills when beating the dog and picking lotus, Su Yiyue's swordsmanship, she is not unenvious when she sees it. But all the internal strength and skills can't be achieved quickly, and in addition to self-hatred, there is only complaining about the sky. I never thought that I would meet such a big expert in poison as Xu Wancun in this mountain, and he did not hesitate to teach each other, it can be said that he picked up a cornucopia of begging, not to mention the joy, even in his sleep, he often had to laugh.

What is even more rare is that she has a relationship with poison, what is light powder, what is arsenic, once you see it, you will never forget; what is the difference between red lady insects and green lady insects, you can also distinguish the subtleties; motherwort, lilacs, plum roots, cotton seeds, how these ordinary things are poisoned, it is also a unique wisdom; what is even more rare is that you can always come up with a unique machine and imagine fresh poisons. Li Taibai said that natural talents must be useful, and it is really not bad at all. provoked Xu Wancun to praise her from time to time, praising her as a talent, if he trained her, she would be a good doctor in the future (miracle doctors and the like are not successful, since he is already in Xu Wancun, there will be no more miracle doctors in two hundred years).

On this day, Mei Zhanxue caught four or five toads, prepared stewed soup for poison, and was scrubbing the clay pot in the courtyard. This kid almost caused a big disaster since he brought Chu and Mei here, and he has never been here again, and he is also weak when he thinks about it.

Mei Zhanxue was overjoyed, and was about to design revenge, when she saw the child walking with a limp, the trouser tube of his left leg was pulled above the knee, and the flesh and blood on his left leg were blurred, as if he had been scratched.

Xu Wancun ordered Tong'er to call hot water, mixed with analgesic drugs, and clean the sores with his own hands. Xu Wancun said coldly: "What's the matter? Is it worse than a toad? If you don't smell good, you can avoid it." Mei Zhanxue said: "It smells bad, but I don't avoid it." "Hands-on help, deliver soft cloth knives.

Xu Wancun ignored her, and while cutting the rotten meat at the sore with a knife, she asked the swineherd: Where have you been to herd pigs? What strange flowers and plants have you seen? What poisonous snakes have you encountered? What is abnormal about the pigs?

The dressing was properly bandaged, and Xu Wancun ordered the child to go to the swineherd's house to report the news. said that the swineherd has to recuperate here for a few days, and he can't go home, and the matter of herding the pigs will be sent to others to do, but there is no major matter, and the family does not have to come to see it.

After everything was done, Xu Wancun returned to his room, took out a long and narrow log box, put it on the desk in the hall, and looked at it wordlessly. After a long time, I peeled off the wax seal at the mouth of the box, unlocked the lock, and uncovered the lid. I saw that a thick layer of white cotton cloth was laid at the bottom of the box, and on the top of the white cloth, there was half a black withered snake, and the tail was gone, except for the upper half. The snake's flesh and bones were black, but dull.

Mei Zhanxue said: "Mr. Xu, what kind of snake is this?" Xu Wancun said: "It's called Snow Mountain Black Snake." "Seems to be very irritating. Pick up a small piece of bamboo to play with the snake body, the bamboo pieces are everywhere, and the snake body is immediately shattered, obviously weathered for a long time, rotten can not be strengthened. Xu Wancun gradually became uncontrollable, and his hands became heavier and heavier, and soon he smashed half of the black snake to a pulp, leaving only a complete snake bone the size of a finger.

Xu Wancun used bamboo tweezers to clamp down a small piece of snake bone of mung bean grains and put it separately, and the remaining snake bones were bottled in porcelain bottles, and still sealed with wax. He ordered the boy to pour out all the rotten things, and took a few other herbs by himself, mixed them with small pieces of snake bones, and decocted them. After decocting the medicine, he served the swineherd with his own hands and drank the medicine. Mei Zhanxue had never seen him so cautious, and asked: "Mr. Xu, is this sore on the swineherd's leg very dangerous?" Xu Wancun said: "I don't know, maybe it's dangerous, maybe it's not ruthless, I have to wait and see." "It seems that there is no certainty, and there is no usual demeanor.

The swineherd took medicine for three days in a row, and his injuries were already healed and he could go home. Xu Wancun said: "Your child has a big life, and you have met something good." "It's very emotional.

For a few days, Xu Wancun went out early and returned late, completely ignoring the agreement with the three of them that "they can't leave Baizhang", and after they came back, they were alone and dazed. After dinner, Chu Qingliu went back to the room early to study the book of the hated monk, leaving Xu, Wei, and Mei as the main and two guests, sitting and chatting with each other.

Wei Shuoren said: "Old Xu, you are like this all day long, do you have something on your mind?" Xu Wancun smirked: "No, there is nothing on my mind, what can I worry about?"

Wei Shuoren said: "I see that you just dislike the three of us brothers and sisters for eating your food, and I tell you, disliking you is also disgusting." If you have any good ideas, go and tell the elders to let us walk, do you want to live with you?"

Mei Zhanxue nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, what the eldest brother said is very true. ”

Xu Wancun said: "Okay, I have something in my heart. I'll tell you, and you'll see what to do. You know, that swineherd, his name is Sanguan, and he has a sore on his leg, and I have cured it. Mei Zhanxue said: "There is no disease that you Mr. Xu can't cure." Wei Shuoren also said: "The medicine is cured." ”

Xu Wancun said: "These days, I have been looking around to see the phenology of the earth, if my expectations are good, in the early spring of next year, at the latest at the beginning of summer, there will be a big plague in this mountain, if the response is not effective, this person will die cleanly." I waited to live here, I didn't have to pay food and taxes, and I didn't have officials to control me, and I was a free people outside, but after all, I still suffered from God's taboo. ”

Wei Shuoren and Mei Zhanxue were shocked. Wei Shuoren said: "Mr. Xu, whether there is such a thing as Heavenly Dao in this world, it is difficult to say, even if there is, Heavenly Dao may not really be so unscrupulous." With you, Mr. Xu, the people in this mountain will definitely be safe. Mei Zhanxue said: "Don't you still have a snake bone?" Xu Wancun said: "It's not enough, where can I use that little bit of things?" He shook his head repeatedly.

Wei Shuoren said, "Where are you going to find this snake bone?"

Xu Wancun said: "This black snake was born on the peak of the Northwest Eternal Snow Mountain, and it is not necessary to use this snake bone, but in comparison, the snake bone is still easy to find, and it is even more difficult to find other objects." ”
