The rain had been falling for a long time before it stopped, and when Ling'er and Zixin went back, it was already dusk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Hengshan faction is located in Tianfeng Ridge, the main peak of Hengshan Mountain.

"Huh, aren't those two Zhong brothers?" Ling'er said, pointing at the two young men.

Zi Xin looked in the direction that Ling'er was pointing, who could it be if it wasn't Zhong Gong and Zhong Long, the two brothers? She said happily: "Daddy, they're back from Wangzhuang Fort! I'll go in and take a look." ”

Ling'er also ran in with her.

Zhong Gong and Zhong Long are twin brothers, with handsome faces that resemble each other, and their height is generally tall, but fortunately their personalities are different, so it is easy for those who are familiar with them to distinguish between the two. It is his elder brother Zhong Gong who likes to wear dark clothes and behaves gently and elegantly, while it is his younger brother Zhong Long who likes to wear light-colored clothes and is naughty and active. They are orphans, they have studied under Ji Cangyu since they were children, and they grew up with Ling'er is childhood sweetheart.

"Ling'er!" As soon as the two Zhong brothers saw Ling'er, they rushed to her side together, surrounding her on the left and the right.

"It's only been a few days since you see me, so you miss me so soon?" Ling'er quipped.

"Ling'er is not by our side, life is so boring!" Zhong Long hurriedly complained to her.

"What did I ask you to inquire about?" Ling'er said expectantly.

"I'll tell you. Zhong Long stopped his brother and hurriedly said, "That terrifying killer organization, the Feitian Gang, has issued a Heavenly Evil Order to Wulin again." ”

"Heavenly Evil Order?" Ling'er was startled.

"It's the supreme secret order we told you before! Only when the Heavenly Evil Order is issued, the top killers of the Flying Heaven Gang will make a move. This time it was Zhong Gong who rushed to say, "By the way, Ling'er, why do you always let us inquire about the Feitian Gang?"

"It's nothing!" Ling'er asked again, "What's going on with the Heavenly Evil Order this time?"

"Uh...... We haven't heard yet. Zhong Long whispered, and sure enough, he saw Ling'er's disappointed expression. He hurriedly added, "I heard that it seems to be related to the Martial Arts Heroes." ”

"Martial Arts Heroes, what is this?" Ling'er's interest came again.

"The martial arts heroes meeting was held in Yixingmen, which can be described as a grand gathering of rising stars in martial arts, at which the martial arts juniors of various sects and factions will learn martial arts from each other. Zhong Long hurriedly introduced.

Ling'er's eyes lit up, she liked such a martial arts conference.

Seeing Ling'er happy, of course the Zhong brothers are also happy!

Yixing Gate, the long-awaited sect in Ling'er's heart. The Martial Arts Heroes Club will be Ling'er's first stop in the rivers and lakes, and she made a decision.

In the evening, Hengshan sent everyone to hold a banquet to wash the dust for the head of the family.

"On the way to Wangzhuang Fort this time, we received an invitation letter from Yixingmen. Three months later, a martial arts meeting was held in Luoyang. Yixingmen invited disciples from various sects and sects to study martial arts together. Since it was the death day of the third junior brother in two months, I didn't go. I have asked the ten young disciples with the highest martial arts skills in the sect to set off from Wangzhuang Fort to Taihang Mountain to attend the meeting with the Taihang faction. Xiao Yuan explained the most important thing about this trip.

Zixin lowered her head to eat, sullen.

Ling'er understood her thoughts, so she said, "Uncle Xiao, I want to go to the Martial Arts Heroes Club to have a look." ”

"Young people should go and see it, Ling'er has a good idea. Xiao Yuan said.

The two Zhong brothers looked at each other and smiled, they didn't want to miss this kind of big scene.

"However, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, Ling'er, you have never set foot in the rivers and lakes, and it is really not reassuring to go alone!" Xiao Yuan raised his concerns.

Ling'er was about to answer, but was interrupted by Zhong Gong.

Zhong Gong excitedly recommended himself: "Zhong Long and I will accompany Ling'er to protect her." ”

"No, you can't. Xiao Yuan resolutely rejected them, "Master Jizhuang entrusted you two to me, and explained that you must stay with me and practice martial arts during his absence. ”

The two Zhong brothers were like deflated balls, bowing their heads and saying no more.

Ling'er secretly touched Zi Xin with her elbow.

Zi Xin understood, and was about to speak, but when he saw his father's face, he suddenly lost his courage again.

This made Ling'er anxious on the side.

Seeing his daughter's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xiao Yuan said: "Xin'er, Dad knows your thoughts, and you must also understand Daddy's considerations." ”

"Got it, Dad. Zixin had no choice but to nod meekly.

Since the accident nine years ago, Xiao Yuan has not allowed his daughter to leave Hengshan without permission. Every time he remembered the situation at that time, he felt thrilled. He blamed him for not being able to discipline his daughter, who was only nine years old, to go down the mountain alone to play, and it was not until the next day that the child came back in mud, as if he had experienced great hardship, and was in a trance, exhausted, and contracted a very severe typhoid fever. At the same time, he got the bad news that the third junior brother was assassinated by a killer and died tragically.

"Uncle Xiao, then I'll go by myself!" Ling'er said, looking at Zixin helplessly.

Xiao Yuan said: "Don't go alone. If it weren't for the death day of my third junior brother in two months, and I was worried that there would be insufficient manpower, I would send a few disciples to go with you. I'll think of a way again!" Xiao Yuan suddenly thought of the Wutai Sect's Dustless Master, and proposed, "Maybe you can join the disciples of the Wutai Sect." I remember that you and Miss Namu also had a good relationship. ”

"Alright then!" Ling'er replied happily.

"Later, I will repair the letter to the Venerable Master of the Dustless. Xiao Yuan said.

Early the next morning, Zixin came to Dan Pharmacy to find Ling'er.

"You're really going to explore the rivers and lakes in a few days, you should also make a surprise attack and practice your skills, right?" Zi Xin took Ling'er's sword and prepared to hand it to her.

Ke Ling'er sometimes has a sword, she grinds the medicinal materials at hand, and at the same time has to stir the ground medicinal powder, and at the same time, she has to take into account the heat of the Dan furnace, so she is very busy!

"I'm sorry!Zi Xin, I can't accompany you to practice sword today, my latest elixir has reached a critical time, and I really can't leave!" Ling'er said apologetically.

"Okay then!" Although Zi Xin had some regrets in her heart, she heard that Ling'er was about to develop a new elixir, so she unconditionally supported her. I had already learned the miraculous effect of the external ointment developed by Ling'er last time, so I had infinite expectations for her new elixir, and asked, "What kind of miraculous elixir is this time?"

"I haven't thought of a name yet, but the efficacy will definitely make you unbelievable!" Ling'er pretended to smile mysteriously, "A must-have medicine for walking the rivers and lakes." ”

When Zi Xin heard her say this, she was even more interested, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it!"

Ling'er no longer hung her appetite, and replied: "It is a painkiller taken internally, even if you are injured and painful, as long as you take this elixir, it can relieve pain in a short period of time and stimulate the potential strength in the body." Isn't it necessary to walk the rivers and lakes?"

Zi Xin admired Ling'er even more when she heard this.

So far, doctors have relied on external paralyzing drugs to relieve pain in wounds, but the effect is still not good, because external drugs can only relieve the pain of the epidermis, and have no effect on internal pain, especially internal injuries, let alone stimulate the potential of the body.

"Great! Ling'er, you're so amazing!" Zi Xin excitedly pulled Ling'er's arm.

"Actually, it's nothing!" Ling'er was praised by her, and smiled a little embarrassedly, her originally fair cheeks flushed slightly, revealing two shallow dimples.

"Why did you suddenly want to develop this elixir?" Zi Xin suddenly asked.

"It's not a few days ago that we went to Xishantou to collect medicine, and I found a kind of orchid grass that can relieve pain. This herb has a pain-relieving effect without paralyzing the nerves. It just so happens that I have recently been researching acupuncture therapies that can stimulate the potential of the body and the herbs that go with it. Ling'er replied to her, but her hand did not stop, "You think, walking in the rivers and lakes will always meet bad people, if you are accidentally injured, the pain of the wound will be even more powerless to deal with the enemy, if there is this kind of elixir at this time, wouldn't it be good?"

"Yes, yes, this elixir is really practical!" Zi Xin agreed.

"However, there is still a flaw in this elixir, which will cause the gastric juice to dilute, and the stomach may be uncomfortable after taking it. I'm still figuring out how to do that. Ling'er frowned.

When Zi Xin heard it, Ling'er said again: "This is so difficult to solve! Because the medicinal properties are always mutually reinforcing." As she spoke, Ling'er sighed again.

Zixin wanted to comfort Ling'er and say that drugs always have side effects, so there was no need to be too upset about it, but she also knew that Ling'er would not give up easily when dealing with problems.

"Please, Zixin, help me get two Angelica dahurica. Ling'er pointed to Zi Xin to the medicinal herbs hanging at the door.

"Huh?" Zi Xin was at a loss for what to do in the face of the dozen or so unknown medicinal materials in front of him.

"I'd better come by myself!" Ling'er rushed over, grabbed two root-like medicinal herbs, and hurriedly ran back to her medicine grinding table.

Zixin couldn't help but wonder when she looked at her friends running around and busy. She felt that she couldn't help here, but would disturb her, so she went to practice the sword by herself.

As soon as Ling'er sent off her friend, the two Zhong brothers came one after another.

"Ling'er, I'll help you grind the medicine. Zhong Gong took the tool from Ling'er's hand and got to work.

Zhong Long picked up the medicine bowl, stirred the medicine powder, and asked with a smile, "What else do you need to mix?"

"You?" Ling'er was stunned.

"Ling'er, you can rest, if you have any orders, just say that these rough jobs will be left to us. Zhong Gong seems to enjoy the work very much.

"Nothing to offer, let's say, what is the purpose of the two of you? Do you want me to intercede with Master Xiao and let you go to Luoyang together?" Ling'er guessed their purpose at once.

It's a pity she guessed wrong.

"No, after a while, Ling'er will go far away, and we won't see you for a long time, so I can't bear it. Zhong Long said reluctantly.

"Luoyang is far away, Ling'er, you have to take care of yourself!" Zhong Gong was not only reluctant, but also worried.

Ling'er suddenly felt so ashamed, they couldn't bear to be themselves, and why was Zixin the only one who was reluctant? But Ling'er still said: "I can't bear you either! When I come back, I will definitely tell you all the interesting things I encountered on the road." ”

"Ling'er, a word is a certainty. Zhong Long stretched out his little finger to tick her.

Suddenly, Zixin appeared again.

"Yes, you two boys are here. It's practice time now, come on, or my father will punish you, and I won't help you intercede anymore. After Zi Xin finished speaking, he winked his left eye at Ling'er, and then picked up his sword and left.

"So you're here to be lazy!" Ling'er suddenly realized, "Why don't you go to practice soon?"

"Not really. Zhong Long hurriedly denied, "Okay, let's go." He reluctantly put down the medicine bowl and went to pull his brother.

"By the way, Ling'er, this was given to you by the second Miss Wang Zhuangbao. Zhong Gong said, and took out a brocade box from his arms and gave it to Ling'er. After Ling'er took the brocade box, he and his younger brother left depressedly.

Ling'er opened the brocade box, and inside was a silver needle with exquisite workmanship. On the slender silver needle body, there is a very delicate pattern. Ling'er looked at it, and the end of the silver needle handle was still engraved with her name, the word "Ling".
