Pengxi Town, located more than 200 miles east of Cangxuan Mountain, has been a traffic artery since ancient times, with many merchants and few natural and man-made disasters. A hundred miles to the west is the Yaoji Palace, the first major sect in the world of cultivating immortals, this town is blessed by it, and the demons have retreated since ancient times, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

This town can be said to be the most prosperous place within a radius of hundreds of miles, with white walls and black tiles in every house, smoke and willow painted bridges, and bright lights even at night. If you want to say that the most prosperous building in Pengxi Town, it belongs to the mansion of the Xia family in the north of the town.

On this day and night, the lights inside and outside the Xia Mansion were bright, but in the unknown dark corner, there was a figure who passed away suddenly, this person was carrying a medicine basket, ragged, and dusty, it was Ling Ziyang. He didn't have time to go home and change into clean clothes, so he came straight here.

Ling Ziyang is no longer what it used to be, it took three days to climb Cangxuan Peak that day, and today he is running with his breath, and it only takes half a day's work to get down the foothills. Along the way, he specially found a quiet and uninhabited path, and performed "Feiyundu", and it only took one day to reach Pengxi Town in the evening.

Skilful of his way, he skilfully avoided the servants who were on the night patrol and came to a brightly lit house in the backyard. He stood quietly outside the window, because he realized that there was more than one person in the room.

He quietly squatted outside the wall, pierced the window paper with his saliva index finger, and looked in, only to see a man in white sitting on the edge of the bed, and the person he had been dreaming of day and night was lying on the bed.

I saw that the man in white was holding the hand of the woman on the bed, his face was full of worry, and then he stretched out the woman's hand to his face and rubbed it. Ling Ziyang saw all this in his eyes, his fists were clenched tightly, and he really had the urge to rush in and kill him.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and he hurriedly restrained his anger and hid in a dark corner. But seeing a maid coming from the front, he knocked lightly on the door here, and said softly: "Master Qin, the Empty Moon Dao Leader is looking for you, please go to the front hall to discuss matters." ”

After a while, the door opened with a "squeak", and the man was sword-eyed, elegant, and cleanly dressed in white, and he could only hear him say, "Okay, I'll come right away." ”

Seeing the maid walk away, the man turned to look at the woman inside, closed the door, and turned to leave.

Ling Ziyang came out of the darkness and couldn't wait to enter the room, as soon as he entered the door, he put his steps very slowly, he walked towards the woman who was thinking about it step by step, and the long-term lovesickness could not withstand this glance and a thought.

When I walked to the bedside, I saw that the woman was sleeping soundly, her breath was even, and her face was unusually pale and bloodless. Ling Ziyang was distressed when he saw it, and unconsciously shed two lines of tears.

He stared at her silently for a moment, then heard another shuffling of footsteps, and pushed the window away.

Outside the house, it was still the maid just now, holding a bowl of steaming soup, gently pushing the door in, the woman seemed to be woken up, opened her eyes and looked at it: "Huan'er, what time is it?"

The maid said, "It's the first time you have arrived, Miss, it's time for you to take medicine." ”

The woman got up and sat up with the help of the maid and asked, "Is there any news of Ziyang?"

The maid shook her head, and the woman bowed her head lonely, and when she raised it, she suddenly saw three strange plants on the table in the middle of the room, each of which was blooming with white flowers, which looked extraordinarily gorgeous. She asked the maid, "Did anyone enter my room just now?"

"Qin Yinghan and Qin Gongzi came to visit Miss just now. The maid said truthfully.

The woman was thoughtful, and when she saw the maid bringing the medicine, she drank it while it was hot, and lay on the bed, thinking a lot.

After Ling Ziyang left the room, he secretly went to the garden outside the front hall and hid behind a rockery. But I heard the sound of discussion inside, the door of the front hall was open, and I saw that there were four people inside, an old man stood straight with his hands behind his back, and a dark robe could not hide his grace and luxury, this person Ling Ziyang knew it, and it was Xia Jiang, the father of his sweetheart.

Standing opposite him was a middle-aged female Daoist, dressed in a white robe, carrying a dark purple fairy sword, with faint wrinkles on her face, but her long hair was jet black and shiny, Ling Ziyang guessed that it was the Empty Moon Dao Leader mentioned by the maid.

Behind the Empty Moon Dao Chief, there was a man in white standing on the left and right, one of whom Ling Ziyang had also seen, it was the person he had seen in his sweetheart's room, Ling Ziyang saw it from afar, and gritted his teeth with hatred. The other man was half a head shorter than him, and his expression was arrogant and domineering.

I only heard the head of the empty moon say: "The disease of Ling Ai is very rare, and the fire poison in the body attacks the heart, and it should be accumulated for a long time. ”

Xia Jiang said worriedly: "The Taoist chief is not bad, the little girl has been weak since she was a child, and she has seen countless doctors, all of them say that it is just a simple poor body, but she loves to move since she was a child, she dances with guns and sticks, everything can be done, if you want to strengthen her body, she should be physically stronger than ordinary people when she exercises like this." But a month ago, somehow, I always fainted, and no doctor could see the cause, so people were helpless. ”

The Empty Moon Dao Elder sighed and said, "This disease should be an inflammation, and it needs Xueling Flower to be cured. ”

Xia Jiang's expression moved, looking very surprised and thoughtful. These were all seen by Qin Yinghan, thinking that he had a difficulty, so he said: "Although the snow linghua grows on the top of the high mountain and is not easy to find, but for us immortal cultivators, it is really a trivial matter, although Xia Yuanwai can rest assured, my junior brother and I will definitely bring this thing back tomorrow." ”

Xia Jiang said: "I'm not worried about this, but I think that a month ago, there was also a Lang Zhong who diagnosed and treated the little girl, and he also said that it was this disease." ”

When Ling Ziyang heard this, he recalled that he knelt down and begged Xia Jiang bitterly, asking to see her, Xia Jiang didn't have a good impression of him, and his daughter was seriously ill and irritable, a poor boy, and always thought that the toad wanted to eat swan meat, so he ordered his subordinates to drive away with sticks. But he would rather die than leave, and Xia Jiang saw that he was also a doctor, so he relented and asked him to check his daughter's condition.

On the same day, he said the word inflammation, which was also a corresponding record seen in an ancient book, and he was very uncertain, but when he saw that his sweetheart was sick, he decided to give it a try, so he risked his life and climbed Cangyu Mountain to seek elixir. At this time, when I heard that it was indeed that kind of disease, my heart was suddenly relieved, and this month's hard work was finally not in vain.

When he heard this, he saw that his sweetheart had hope of recovery, so he quietly left.

Walking home slowly, it was already the middle of the night, but he saw that his courtyard was in a mess, and medicinal herbs were scattered everywhere, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger. "It's the again!" he slammed his fist into the pillar.

It was already early the next morning when he had packed up everything in the house, and when he was about to rest, he saw a thin young man outside the fence leading four or five men who were five big and three thick men shouting.

"Hey, Ling Ziyang, you're back, where are you hiding this month? You let Lao Tzu find it easy, your regular money for this month has been spent, hurry up and take out some, or I will burn down your kennel." ”

Ling Ziyang snorted and said, "It's you again, are you here to die?"

The thin young man said: "Yo, do you still think that the girl of the Xia family can support you, let me tell you the truth, not to mention that she has this Rausch disease, which is vulnerable, just say that she has hooked up with a little white face recently, and she has long ignored you, you died of this heart." ”

When Ling Ziyang heard this, his anger surged, and a pair of eyes glared fiercely.

The thin man couldn't help but be afraid, and took a half step back and said, "You······ What do you want to do?

A few men behind him rushed towards Ling Ziyang with a shout, and the thin man watched this good show with great interest. "Cut, let you scare me. ”

When the thin man looked at Ling Ziyang again, his mouth was already wide open, and he saw that those big men who were five big and three thick had all sunk into the ground, and their condition was extremely miserable, and they couldn't get up.

"Say it again!" Ling Ziyang approached the thin man. But I saw that he had already sat down on the ground, and his face was full of horror.

Ling Ziyang wanted to deter him and make him have a long memory, so he walked to a weeping willow in front of the door, took a deep breath, condensed his strength, and hit the trunk of the tree with a punch. The big tree with a thick bowl mouth was suddenly cut off, flew out flat, and landed five feet away.

The thin man was so frightened that he couldn't speak, Ling Ziyang only said one word, "Get out", and he crawled far away.

Ling Ziyang returned to the courtyard, one in each hand, and threw out the man who fell to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, anyway, when he came out of the room again, there was no trace of them.

After he packed everything up, he went to the Xia Mansion to inquire about Miss Xia's illness, walking on the street, but he saw the pink dress in the crowd from afar, like a colorful butterfly, fluttering among many moths, it seemed so prominent, she was his dream, a distant dream.

But when he saw the person next to him, he couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart, Qin Yinghan held an umbrella for him, one step at a time, talking and laughing, and the two seemed to be intimate. He stood on the spot, weak and weak, and felt the urge to cry. He tried to restrain himself, his feet were like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't take half a step.

Not long after, Miss Xia had already seen him in the crowd, a smile bloomed on her slightly pale face, she walked quickly towards him, and asked, "Ziyang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

"Good ······" Ling Ziyang said a word with difficulty, and asked with a forced smile, "Is your illness better?"

"It's already good, you see that I can get out of bed and walk around shopping? Thanks to Brother Qin, it was he who went to pick the snow linghua alone. I heard that there are often strange beasts near the snow linghua, even if it is a cultivator, it is difficult to pick it if he does not have high skills. Saying that, he glanced at the man next to him affectionately, and continued: "I want it won't be long before I can dance and play with swords, if someone dares to bully you, remember to tell me, after I am injured, I will definitely settle accounts with them." ”

Ling Ziyang's brain exploded, and the smile finally froze on her face, and as for what she said later, she didn't listen to a word. "How can this be, how can this be?" Ling Ziyang kept asking himself.

"What's wrong with you, Ziyang, is there something uncomfortable?" Miss Xia asked with concern.

At this time, the magnetic voice said, "Brother Ling, what is difficult for you? ”

Although it was a very polite sentence, in Ling Ziyang's ears, it was very disgusting.

"I'm fine, a little tired, I'll go back. Ling Ziyang didn't want to continue to face them, and without waiting for them to answer, he turned around and walked back.

The past is like smoke, reappearing one by one, when he was young, his parents died violently, he was helpless, and he once lived by begging. Xia Qingyun, the young lady of the Xia family, was one year older than him, and was born with a temperament that loves to fight and hold grievances, and when she saw him being bullied, she took him to the mansion to seek a job and become a subordinate. thought that his life had taken a turn for the better from then on, but the old man of the Xia family saw that he was very close to his daughter, and after a long time, he was angry in his heart, so he drove him out of the house again.

Forced by life, Ling Ziyang provoked his father's business again, studied the medical classics handed down by his ancestors, taught himself medical skills, became a doctor, and his life was barely surviving, but his relationship with Xia Qingyun was better than day by day, he often went out to play, fished by the river, and falcons in the mountains, Xia Qingyun didn't care that he was a poor boy, he was willing to associate with him, live happily, and be happy.

But now, this happiness is no longer what it used to be.
