Chapter 14: Entering the Valley of Butterflies
After sleeping in the open air along the way, Su Mu soon arrived at the destination with Gao Yuanshan, at the foot of the Butterfly Valley.
Butterfly Valley is located in a basin surrounded by mountains. Although it is not far from the nearest town, Butterfly Town, because of the frequent occurrence of strange beasts in the valley, the poisonous miasma is spread across the swamp. So there was still no one close. Although people in the vicinity know that a large number of precious and rare medicinal materials are grown here, if you have a life, you may not have a life to sell.
The doctor introduced by the woman surnamed Liu was named Butterfly Fairy, and according to the townspeople, he lived in the depths of the valley. It's a woman who can't tell her age.
The Butterfly Fairy has only moved to this butterfly valley in the last few years. No one knows where she came from. At first, the Butterfly Fairy did not plan to practice medicine, but by chance he healed the legs of the injured hunter who had strayed into the valley. Orion was very grateful, and went back to prepare several killed hares to send to the butterfly fairy as a thank you. Under the enthusiastic propaganda of Orion, the butterfly fairy pushed the boat along the way and became a doctor.
However, the people in the town also said that this butterfly fairy doctor depends on the mood, and when he encounters a match, he will not receive a penny, and he will not be cured if he encounters a daughter who is not pleasing to the eye. He is a doctor with a lot of personality. In addition, the people who have been treated have boasted that her medical skills are amazing, and over time, she has a very famous reputation in the surrounding area.
However, it is not easy to find this butterfly fairy. The butterfly fairy's home is in the depths of the Butterfly Valley, and there are many obstacles along the way, and ordinary people may not be able to find a way even if they want to seek a doctor.
Despite the dangers, the map in the letter details the locations of the dangers to be avoided. Coupled with the true qi fluctuations emanating from Gao Yuanshan, a powerhouse with a second-grade qi void realm, ordinary foreign beasts did not dare to approach, but they were safe and sounded along the way, and arrived safely.
The place where the butterfly fairy lives is a small mansion in the deepest part of the valley, which is simple but does not look old. There are also fresh spikes on the wooden walls. At the entrance of the house is a large area of plants, which are particularly eye-catching. A deep path between the grass and trees leads to the door. Su Mu can smell the combination of various scents in the air, which is very harmonious and pleasant, and the owner of this place must have a deep understanding of the balance and matching between plants.
After getting closer, Su Mu and Gao Yuanshan were a little surprised to find that when they arrived, it seemed that there were other people who came to seek medical treatment here, and there was a man's pleading cry in the house.
The master and apprentice looked at each other, waited for the sound in the room to stop, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door politely.
"Come in. A cold voice responded.
When Su Mu and Gao Yuanshan entered the door, they saw a woman sitting on a simple chair with a veil covering her face and wearing plain clothes, who must have been the famous doctor Butterfly Fairy mentioned in the letter. In addition, there was a middle-aged man holding a little girl about seven or eight years old, who was kneeling in front of the butterfly fairy at the moment. The little girl seemed to be asleep at this time. The middle-aged man's face was haggard, and he was still crying silently. made Su Mu look a little sad.
Maybe I brought this little girl here to seek medical treatment, looking at the middle-aged man's expression, I'm afraid the result is not very optimistic.
I don't know what kind of result I'll get in a while. Su Mu thought to himself.
"In the Lower Cold Mountain, the Sword Sect is high and far away. Under the guidance of Miss Liu, come and ask the medical fairy butterfly fairy for help!" he said and handed over the quill.
"Who wants to heal?" Butterfly Fairy glanced at the quill, her voice seemed to soften, and she said lightly while sipping tea with her head down.
"It's my disciple Su Mu. This child. Gao Yuanshan patted Su Mu's backlash. "His meridians ......"
"Needless to say, if there is any disease, you will know if you come in for a check-up. Butterfly Fairy interrupted.
The butterfly fairy glanced at Su Mu meaningfully, then got up and walked into the inner room, not looking at Gao Yuanshan directly, nor at all at the middle-aged man who was still kneeling there. Gao Yuanshan and Su Mu also followed, and when they left, Su Mu nodded to the silent middle-aged man to show politeness.
Entering the house, the butterfly fairy motioned for Su Mu to sit down with her eyes, took out some silver needles from the wooden box on the table next to her with various utensils, and put them on the lamp one by one and began to roast.
"Take off your clothes, let's check first. Butterfly Fairy continued.
This medicine fairy doesn't seem to have such an eccentric personality as rumored, and his attitude is very gentle, Su Mu thought to himself, took off his coat and sat on the futon.
The butterfly fairy also sat behind Su Mu, and she could feel her seriousness through the tulle covering her face, and the butterfly fairy's palms were attached to Su Mu's back. Closing his eyes to mobilize his true qi, he began to probe the condition of Su Mu's meridians. As he probed, he pulled out a silver needle and stabbed it into the key node in his back. Su Mu felt a comfortable heat infused into his body, although there were no meridians to circulate, but it was steaming in his body like mist, without any discomfort.
After a while, the butterfly fairy stopped her luck and stood up, probably after completing the inspection.
Su Mu naturally felt it, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, just quietly waiting for the judgment of the butterfly fairy.
"It's true that the meridians are broken. These were the first words spoken by the butterfly fairy.
"It's not an ordinary fracture, it collapses directly, and it basically can't be continued. This is the second sentence, Su Mu sighed in his heart. Gao Yuanshan also chuckled in his heart.
"I can only reshape the meridians for you. These were the last words of the butterfly fairy. Su Mu raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
There is still a chance. Su Mu forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, for so many days, including on the way to leave the Sword Sect to seek medical treatment, Su Mu has been constantly lowering his psychological expectations. He didn't dare to expect too much from himself, for fear that he would bring deeper disappointment after being punctured. Hearing the very confident words of this medical immortal now, the surprise brought to Su Mu was far greater than the joy.
"Can it be reshaped?" Gao Yuanshan was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but ask.
"Since it can be broken, of course it can be reshaped, what's the fuss?" the butterfly fairy said in a disdainful tone.
"But this meridian reshaping is unheard of......"
"If you can do what ordinary people can't and think about what ordinary people don't want, you can be a medical immortal. The butterfly fairy took off the silver needles one by one, and said, "The child is still young, and the meridians are already fragile, and it is common for them to break. It's no wonder. The butterfly fairy glanced at Gao Yuanshan with disdain.
Gao Yuanshan was also a little ashamed, he knew very well in his heart that Su Mu did have a great responsibility for becoming the way he is now.
"But it's not that easy to reshape the meridians. The butterfly fairy said suddenly.
Gao Yuanshan thought that the butterfly fairy was asking for some kind of reward, and hurriedly said: "If the medical fairy has any requirements, just ask, Yuanshan will definitely meet them!" ”
"You don't have to, you've already paid for the treatment. That's not what I mean. ”
"Have you paid it?" Gao Yuanshan was a little confused.
"The quill just now. Butterfly Fairy explained.
"I see. Gao Yuanshan thought to himself, it seems that this mysterious woman surnamed Liu is really good at it. Even such a reclusive medical immortal has a way. And the attitude of seeing the medical fairy is suddenly so good, it also started after seeing the quill. The man who put down the door directly came to help Su Mu see a doctor first.
"What I'm saying is not easy is not that you have to pay any price, it's just that it is not easy to reshape the meridians, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that this child will continue to practice after the remodeling. In that case, it will not be able to be reshaped with ordinary materials, it will not be able to withstand the expansion of true qi, and there is a risk of secondary fracture, so it must be made of a very strong material. "Butterfly Fairy Road.
"If you need anything, I'll find it right away. "As long as I can help Su Mu reshape, even if he is bankrupt, he will not hesitate.
"You can't find it, the thing I want basically only grows in this deep valley, now is not the medicine period, I don't know when it will mature next time. ”
"Then may I ask the medical fairy, how long will it take?"
"It can be a few months, a year. "The butterfly fairy is still not salty.
"This ......" Gao Yuanshan hesitated a little. Gao Yuanshan already had a lot of hidden worries in his heart after leaving the Sword Sect this time, thinking that it might take so long to heal, Gao Yuanshan really didn't know what the Sword Sect would be like when the time came.
"Why don't we return to the Sword Sect first, and then come to the Medicine Immortal when the medicinal materials are ripe?" Gao Yuanshan asked tentatively, he also knew that this request was a bit rude.
"Okay, then you can go. The kid can stay. I'll write to you when healed. ”
"Mu'er wants to stay?" Gao Yuanshan was a little surprised.
"Of course," the butterfly fairy stepped forward and glanced at Su Mu, who was a little furious by her. "It's only a few days since what I want has matured and died, and it won't be too late to notify you when I find it, and if I miss the best time, the quality of the reshaping meridians will be affected. The butterfly fairy continued.
Gao Yuanshan was a little hesitant, Su Mu grew up beside him since he was a child, and now he has to be separated from him for so long, it is inevitable that he is a little reluctant. Although Su Mu was reluctant to leave Gao Yuanshan in his heart, he also saw Gao Yuanshan's embarrassment, so he smiled and said to Gao Yuanshan: "Master, it's okay, the apprentice is waiting here, and the master will come to pick up the apprentice when he heals his body." ”
"Okay. "Gao Yuanshan can only compromise, and now is really not a good time to leave the sect. The disciples of the sect were killed outside, and Ruan Qishen, the second uncle of the sect, is also worth watching, and the internal and external troubles have made Gao Yuanshan, who has been the shopkeeper for almost ten years, feel great pressure. "Then this kid will be more troublesome to the medicine fairy! After being cured, Yuanshan will definitely come to the door to thank you!"
"It doesn't have to be. The butterfly fairy said, who had packed her things.
After saying goodbye to Su Mu, Gao Yuanshan embarked on the road back to his sect.
Looking at Gao Yuanshan's departing figure, Su Mu's nose was a little sour, and the uncomfortable emotions that he had just suppressed came to his heart. First the little junior sister Yin Yu, and then the master Gao Yuanshan, these people who have been with him all have left now, which makes the ten-year-old Su Mu's heart a little empty for a while.
Now that he has the opportunity to reshape his meridians, he must heal himself quickly, redouble his efforts to practice the sword, and he must not let Gao Yuanshan worry. Su Mu cheered himself up.
