Chapter 15: The Daughter of Misfortune
Long Shiqiu picked up the candlestick from the offering table, and the half of the candle inserted in the candlestick had already been covered with a thick layer of dust. He took the menorah out the door and gently placed it on the ground.
Jiang Shanghan was puzzled at first, but his mind turned to react, and the shadow of the candlestick showed that the time had come.
How could he figure it out, Jiang Shanghan couldn't help but ask: "I said why did you come to this broken temple for no reason, it turned out that you were waiting for someone." β
Long Shiqiu did not answer, but cut his hands upside down, and Shi Shiran walked outside the gate of the ruined wall.
Sure enough, not long after, a fast horse galloped from the road, and immediately a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist was wearing a dark color suit, wearing a thin eaves hat, the horse jumped down when it came close, and walked quickly to Long Shiqiu and bowed down.
Jiang Shanghan leaned out of the hall with half of his body, and saw the big man in Xuanyi sticking to Long Shiqiu's ear and muttering something, only to see Long Shiqiu listen to a few words of low command, and the big man in Xuanyi nodded again and again, turned around and patted the horse away.
Although he didn't hear a word, judging from the respectful demeanor of this black-clothed man towards Long Shiqiu, this person was either Long Shiqiu's subordinate, or owed him a lot of silver.
Jiang Shanghan secretly wondered, and he suddenly found that Long Shiqiu was becoming more and more difficult to figure out. He originally thought that Long Shiqiu was just a lonely ranger, but in his heart, he was really too naΓ―ve.
At this moment, three more horses galloped in, these three people were exactly the same as the big man in Xuanyi, and after dismounting, they saluted respectfully, and the leader whispered in front of Long Shiqiu, and then the three of them got on their horses and whipped away.
Long Shiqiu sent the three of them away, and then turned around and slowly walked in front of Jiang Shanghan.
At this moment, Jiang Shanghan has changed from disbelief to being surprised, he knows that Long Shiqiu did not hide his meaning from all that happened just now, since he deliberately let himself see this scene, it means that he no longer regards himself as an outsider.
"Let's go," Long Shiqiu said coldly.
"Where are you going?" asked Jiang Shanghan with a glare.
"Take me to meet the woman who needs the Candle Dragon Pill. Long Shiqiu stared at him and said lightly: "If you want her to continue to live." Jiang Shanghan's scalp tingled instantly.
The mountain spring is murmuring.
At the foot of the mountain, just a shot away from the mountain spring, there is a garden made of green bamboo.
The courtyard is very clean, there is a delicate wooden table in the center, next to the table there is a small stove, on the stove is a copper kettle, a woman in blue is leaning on a bamboo chair reading a book, taking care of the fire from time to time.
This woman is about twenty years old, very handsome, and has a fresh and refined bookish air in her gestures.
After a short time, the water was already boiling, and the woman in blue was carrying the pot to refill the water, when suddenly there was a messy sound of horses' hooves in her ears.
The two horses stopped outside the courtyard gate, and as soon as the woman in blue raised her head, the scroll in her hand fell "popped", "Jiang Lang, it's really you!" Tears burst out of her eyes in an instant, Jiang Shang Hanfei dismounted, and came to the front in a few steps, holding the hand of the woman in blue and saying, "It's me, Ling'er, I'm back." β
The woman in blue touched Jiang Shanghan's cheek with trembling hands, "You're back, you know, how worried I have been these days." β
Long Shiqiu stood outside the courtyard with his hands arched over his chest, quietly looking at the two of them.
I saw Jiang Shanghan looking at her dotingly, and suddenly remembered that there was still one standing outside the door, and coughed dryly: "Ling'er, I'll introduce you to a good friend." After speaking, he beckoned to Long Shiqiu.
"This is a good new friend of mine, named Long Shiqiu. β
The woman in blue known as Ling'er glanced at Long Shiqiu, and Ying Ying said, "Ling'er has seen Brother Long. β
Long Shiqiu hugged his fists and smiled: "I take the liberty to disturb, I hope my younger brothers and sisters will forgive me." As he spoke, he looked at this "Ling'er" carefully, and suddenly his heart tightened!
He suddenly found that there was a faint hint of murder in the eyes of this "Ling'er", which were as clear as water!
Jiang Shanghan smiled and said, "Ling'er, this big brother Long is proficient in medical skills, and I brought him here this time to treat you." β
Ling'er shook her head and sighed: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, even Doctor Luo can't see a disease well, how can others cure it?"
Jiang Shanghan smiled slightly and comforted: "Brother Long's medical skills are exquisite, so it's okay for him to take a look." β
Ling'er bowed slightly: "Okay then." After finishing speaking, she sat down and stretched out her arm, Long Shiqiu looked at it fixedly, only to see a faint purple mark extending inward from the "Lao Palace" acupoint in her palm, and had reached the "Neiguan" acupoint, and her heart was suddenly shocked, but she was silent on the surface.
Jiang Shanghan saw that Long Shiqiu stretched out his finger to call for Ling'er's pulse, and his heart beat a drum, and he didn't know if he really understood medical skills or just talked.
Long Shiqiu secretly wondered, in order to prove whether his judgment was correct or not, he closed his eyes and urged the internal force to the tip of his index finger and gently pressed it down!
In an instant, an incomparably powerful true qi passed through the three big acupoints of "Tianquan", "Xia Bai" and "Qi Ze" on Ling'er's arm, and rushed straight to the "Column Gap", intersecting with Long Shiqiu's internal force, and actually flicked his fingers away!
Long Shiqiu's palm flipped suddenly, and his five fingers and Ling'er's fingers were tightly clasped together, and the true qi that was bumping everywhere in Ling'er's body was forcefully suppressed with the pure internal force.
Ling'er's face turned pale in an instant, her eyes were full of bloodshots, her delicate body shook and spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted directly.
"Ling'er!" Jiang Shanghan hugged her in his arms and said with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Long Shiqiu looked down at the blood she spit out, and this blood turned out to be purple red!
Sunset.
Long Shiqiu drank tea without any expression on his face.
Jiang Shanghan's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, he stared at Long Shiqiu, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you understand medical skills?"
"I don't understand. Long Shiqiu replied honestly: "I'm not an immortal, how can I do anything." β
"You ......" Egami was so cold that he couldn't speak.
Long Shiqiu suddenly sighed and said, "How much do you know about her?"
Jiang Shanghan lifted the teapot, glanced at him and said, "What do you want to know." β
Long Shiqiu simply lay down and closed his eyes, which means that you love to talk or not.
Jiang Shanghan let out a long sigh, and finally spoke: "It was one night two months ago, on my way back to the capital from Yangzhouβ"
"Drive!"
Jiang Shanghan drove the carriage and looked up at the sky.
Just now, the moon was like snow, and the starry sky was bright, and a large dark cloud would blow from nowhere.
The wind in his ears became more urgent, and it didn't take much time for a lightning bolt to pierce the dead night sky, followed by thunder, and bean-sized raindrops came as scheduled.
Jiang Shanghan tightened the reins, saw a gazebo not far ahead, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly rode forward.
Coming to the pavilion, Jiang Shang shivered the rain on his body, took out a cold steamed bun, and just took a bite, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in his ears.
Jiang Shanghan looked fixedly, a white horse galloped in the rain, and a person lying on the horse's back staggered, looking crumbling.
Jiang Shanghan put down the steamed bun in his hand, and ran out of the pavilion with an arrow, the horse seemed to be frightened, spread its four hooves and galloped all the way, seeing the horse approaching, Jiang Shanghan stepped a little, stretched out his body and jumped on the horse's back, didn't think much about it, hugged the horse's feet and the saddle rose into the air, and landed steadily outside the pavilion.
Jiang Shanghan laid this person flat on the stone slab, and when he opened his hair, he realized that it was a young woman!
I saw that the woman's face was pale, and she struggled to open her eyes and glanced at Jiang Shanghan.
"Girl, who are you and what happened?"
The woman's eyes became a little empty, and she said with all her might: "Spirit ...... The spirit ......" only said the word "spirit" and fainted.
......
Jiang Shanghan took a long breath on his back, and said slowly: "I placed her here, I wanted to wait for her to wake up and ask the reason, who knew that when she woke up three days later, she didn't even forget who she was." β
Long Shiqiu sat up after hearing this and said, "You mean she has amnesia?"
Jiang Shanghan smiled bitterly and nodded, "She really doesn't remember anything, and later I found that there was a purple ball in the palm of her hand, as if she had been poisoned by some kind of poison, so I had to take her to Miaoyin Villa." β
"The wonderful hand holds the samadhi, and the sacred heart sets the eight tones. Long Shiqiu said lightly: "In this world, except for the Miaoyin Mountain Villa Luo Shifang Luo Divine Doctor, I'm afraid no one can solve the poison on her body." β
Jiang Shanghan nodded and said, "According to Doctor Luo, as long as the poisonous gas in Ling'er's palm passes through his elbow, even Da Luo Jinxian can't save it." He promised to try to detoxify Ling'er, but the antidote was missing one thing. β
"Candle Dragon Pill!"
"Later, I finally found out the whereabouts of the Candle Dragon Pill, and I went to King Kang's Mansion several times. β
Long Shiqiu suddenly said, "Did Doctor Luo mention any poison in Ling'er?"
Jiang Shanghan shook his head and said, "However, Doctor Luo has said first, and he is not very sure about the antidote to this poison, so he can only do his best." β
Long Shiqiu stood up, sighed deeply and said, "I didn't expect you to be an amorous person. With that, he walked out the door.
"You're leaving?" Jiang Shanghan couldn't help but ask.
Long Shiqiu took the horse and instructed: "You don't have to go to King Kang's Mansion anymore, accompany Ling'er more these days, the poisonous gas on her body has been temporarily suppressed by me, and it will not recur within a month, so take care of her and wait for my news." β
"Where are you going?" Jiang Shanghan couldn't help but ask.
"Originally, I planned to go to King Kang's Mansion with you, but now that the situation has changed, I want to go to Hunan first. Then he turned over his horse and rode away.
......
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
On the official road to the west, one man and one rider are slowly moving forward.
Tang Shiyao was dressed as a scholar, and subconsciously touched the sword on her waist.
This is the first time she has gone far away, and she thought that she would soon catch up with the dart car team of the Yuding Dart Bureau, but who knew that she would not be able to find the north after only thirty miles out of the capital.
Dart line is a very hard business, due to the special requirements of this line, darts usually need to sleep in the open air, sun and rain, as Tang Tianlong's daughter, although Tang Shiyao grew up in the dart director, but never followed the elders to dart.
She finally knew at this moment that it was really a terrible thing to walk alone at night.
"Puff puff puffβ"
Overhead, there was the sound of birds flapping their wings, and then there were bursts of strange laughter in mid-air.
It's a night owl!
The bird is said to be able to smell the scent of terminally ill people and emit eerie laughter, and it is rumored that in many places people die within days of hearing the call of a night owl!
