Section 27 The Nine Women's Springs (3)
After Ling'er left, the old woman said to the girl sharply: "Qin'er, the poisoning of the villagers is your masterpiece!"
Qin'er bowed her head and said respectfully: "Tell the palace master, the flame knights of the Demon Sect strictly guard the Nine Maidens Spring, if it weren't for this, Qin'er wouldn't be able to secretly obtain the spring water." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"The old body knows that your intentions are good, but how can you do such a hurtful thing for the sake of the old body's life, and how many innocent people have suffered because of it, do you know?" said the old woman earnestly.
"Palace master, Qin'er knows that she is wrong. Qin'er knelt down as she spoke, and she continued to explain, "The palace master has been unconscious, and I don't know what has happened to the martial arts recently. A few days ago, the Jade Xiao Princess, claiming to have obtained the Lingxiao Silver Token, held a martial arts conference, and wanted to dominate the Lingxiao Palace!"
"What? Senior Brother can't possibly hand over the token to the Demon Sect. The old woman said firmly.
"Yes, Palace Master Cheng handed over the token to Yixingmen before he died. Qin'er said.
The old woman nodded when she heard this, thinking that this was very appropriate, and then she said: "The jade flute prince is really cunning, and in order to lure the old man to appear, he also held a martial arts conference! If the old body is detoxified, he will definitely show up to stop him, if it is not detoxified, he can find the old body as long as he guards the Nine Female Spring." ā
Then the old woman asked, "Qin'er, what happened to the meeting?
Qin'er said, "The Yixing envoy exposed the conspiracy of the Demon Sect on the spot, and also showed the silver token. ā
The old woman nodded with satisfaction and said, "Senior brother is right! He entrusted the silver token to Yixingmen, and the old man also believes that Yixingmen can take on this important task!"
"Palace Master, do you also want to entrust the token to Yixingmen?" asked Qin'er.
The old woman said, "The old man has a plan in his body. ā
Yes, this old woman is none other than Li Xiaoxiao, one of the two former palace masters of Lingxiao Palace. It is rumored that she fell off a cliff and died many years ago, and there are only a handful of people who know that she is still alive, including the jade flute son.
Li Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at Qin'er and said solemnly: "No matter what, Qin'er, you still did something wrong this time." ā
"Qin'er knows that it is wrong to poison the villagers, but it is also helpless, is the palace master willing to see Lingxiao Palace fall into the hands of evil demons? Only you can save Lingxiao Palace!" Qin'er said sadly.
"Wrong is wrong. Li Xiaoxiao lowered his eyes and said.
"Please think of the palace master for Qin'er's many years of taking care of you, and take it lightly. Jean pleaded with her.
"The old body has always treated you like a granddaughter. Li Xiaoxiao sighed, and then said, "However, the state has national laws, and the palace has palace rules!"
Qin'er kowtowed to her with tears in her eyes and said, "Qin'er can no longer serve the palace master, palace master, you have to take care of yourself!"
Li Xiaoxiao closed her eyes sadly and let the tears slide down gently.
Qin'er wiped away her tears and reluctantly left the cabin.

The next day, Ling'er came to visit the old man as promised.
The attentive Ling'er noticed that the girl was not at home, and asked curiously, "Where has the little sister gone?"
"Can the old body call you Ling'er?" Li Xiaoxiao saw Ling'er nodding, so he continued, "After you left yesterday, Qin'er confessed to the old body that she was responsible for the poisoning of the villagers, and she left by herself. ā
"What?" Ling'er was startled, and hurriedly explained to the girl, "The seniors may have misunderstood, the poisoning of the villagers did have something to do with her, but it was done unintentionally, and she didn't know that it was poison at all." How can you ...... unintentional mistakes?"
"Is this what Qin'er told you?" Li Xiaoxiao interrupted softly.
Ling'er nodded.
"Ling'er, how can you be so gullible about others? The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and people's hearts are even more sinister!" Li Xiaoxiao said earnestly, "You can't have the heart of harming people, and you can't have the heart of guarding against people!"
"But she ......" Ling'er was about to defend Qin'er, but was interrupted by Li Xiaoxiao again.
"Don't mention her again. Ling'er, the old body has important things to tell you. Li Xiaoxiao said seriously, "The old body is Li Xiaoxiao." ā
Ling'er was taken aback and said, "The senior is the Li Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace?"
"Looks like you know the old body. Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"But didn't Palace Master Li stumble off a cliff many years ago?" Ling'er raised her doubts.
"Yes, when the old man was chased and killed, in order to protect Lingxiao Palace, he jumped off the cliff, and the meridians of his whole body were broken, and only one breath remained. Fortunately, God has eyes, so that the old body met the Gan Shen Doctor who was collecting medicine under the cliff. Li Xiaoxiao said.
"My grandfather?" Ling'er said in surprise.
"Doctor Gan used the technique of rejuvenation with his wonderful hands, not only saved the life of the old body, but also restored the old body's martial arts. Li Xiaoxiao said gratefully, "Later, the old body asked Doctor Gan to keep this secret for the old body. ā
"No wonder I don't even know. Ling'er said.
"However, a few days ago, the old man met the jade flute son of the Demon Sect. Li Xiaoxiao said, "I didn't expect his martial arts to be so high, and the old man escaped by luck after being slapped in the palm." ā
"After that, the seniors came here and relied on the Nine Girls Spring Water to suppress toxins?" Ling'er asked.
"Not bad. Later, the old man fell into a coma and remained unconscious. Qin'er was taking care of her, and she poisoned the villagers in order to hide her eyes. Li Xiaoxiao said reproachfully.
"Cover people's eyes?" Ling'er was puzzled.
"The Jade Flute Princesses sent a flame knight to guard the Nine Maidens Spring, hoping to find the old body. Li Xiaoxiao explained.
"It's no wonder that on the way from Hengshan to here, I saw many Demon Cultists on the way, including six Flame Knights. Ling'er remembered the words of the two Zhong brothers, and suddenly understood that the target of the Demon Sect was not Luoyang, but Wutai Mountain.
"The jade flute boy is also here. Li Xiaoxiao frowned.
"What should I do then?" Ling'er said anxiously.
Li Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Ling'er, her brows stretched again, and she said, "Ling'er, your Gan family has saved the life of the old man many times, and you don't thank you for your kindness, you can accept this!" As she spoke, she stuffed a golden sign into Ling'er's hand.
Ling'er looked down and saw that this brand was cast from gold, rectangular in shape, and engraved with the words "Lingxiao Palace". She hurriedly refused: "This is so valuable, I can't help it! If grandpa knew about it, he would blame me." He often said that it is the duty of a doctor to save people, and he should not expect anything in return. ā
"It's not a return, it's a piece of the old body's heart. The old body admires the kindness of Miss Ling'er and the salvation of the world, and wants to stay here to commemorate you. Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"That can't be done!" Ling'er stuffed the Ling Xiao Gold Token back into Li Xiaoxiao's hand.
"This thing is just a burden on my shoulders, and I entrust it to you to complete my old mission. Li Xiaoxiao said.
"Huh?" Ling'er was puzzled.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't explain to Ling'er, but said toughly: "If you don't accept it, you will look down on my Lingxiao Palace!"
"This ......" Ling'er was very embarrassed, she explained: "The younger generation will never do this. ā
"Then take it!" Li Xiaoxiao said sincerely.
Ling'er couldn't refuse, so she nodded and agreed.
Li Xiaoxiao said with relief: "It's finally a matter of heart. She had already seen that Ling'er didn't know that this was the Lingxiao Gold Token, and she was not in a hurry to tell her, if Ling'er knew, she would definitely refuse to accept it. Actually, it doesn't matter if she knows it or not, she trusts Ling'er and Yixingmen, and she is no longer worried about the future of Lingxiao Palace.
Li Xiaoxiao held Ling'er's hands tightly and said solemnly: "Ling'er, you must protect it and don't let it fall into the hands of bad people!"
Ling'er nodded and said seriously: "Senior, please rest assured, Ling'er promised you that she would protect it with her life." ā

In the next few days, Ling'er conditioned Li Xiaoxiao's body, and after she was healthy and recovered some of her internal strength, Ling'er took her leave and went to Luoyang.
---
After some investigation, the jade son found Liujia Village, learned about the poison of "Yusheng Cao", and then roughly confirmed the location of Li Xiaoxiao's residence according to the pharmacy manager who sold "Yusheng Cao" in Geng Town.
After a series of searches, they eventually found the cabin.
"Li Xiaoxiao, don't get out of here yet!" the Flame Knight shouted outside the door.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoxiao had expected that they would find this place, and he had been away for a long time.
"Childe, we're a step too late. Ge Fei whispered.
Jade Flute sighed softly. He ordered a thorough search of the entire hut, but where would there be a shadow of the Sky Gold Token?
"Don't worry, as long as she is still nearby, her subordinates will definitely find her again!" Ge Fei said.
At this time, Li Yun rushed out of the room and said, "Childe, there is something special in the medical set on the table. As he spoke, he handed over a silver needle.
The jade flute boy took it, looked at it carefully, and found the word "spirit" engraved on the silver needle.
Maybe he won't be able to find Li Xiaoxiao again.
