Chapter 16: Three Lives of a Great Dream (2)
The snow was getting heavier, and the sky was darkening, but my brother hadn't come to pick me up.
The mother of the second girl next door saw that the weather was not good, so she took her back very early. And then scattered are Fat Tiger's father, Hanbao's grandfather, and Niu's sister. But before my brother came to pick me up, the students in the school were gone, and only the master with the goatee was kind enough to stay with me. By the way, he urged me to dictate the gist of his speech today over and over again.
I rubbed my elbow, which was a little crampy in writing, and felt a little irritable, if my brother didn't come to pick me up, I couldn't expect the old man from my master to pick me up. I held my head and looked at the snow falling outside for a while, and suddenly I saw a vague figure gradually walking towards this side, but I was not sure if it was a senior brother, because there was only a rough outline.
I stared unblinkingly at the blurry figure outside, slowly approaching my direction unhurriedly. The shadow gradually became clear as the distance narrowed, and sure enough, he was not mistaken, it was the senior brother in my family who could be calm and calm no matter what happened.
When I got closer, I saw that he also held an oil-paper umbrella, and when I saw him come to the eaves in front of the door, he put the umbrella away, and when he came in, he first signaled to the master, and then said to me, "Doll, go home." ”
I pursed my lips, didn't say anything, walked to the door, saw that the snow was already a little thick, so I looked at him, and he, in front of the sight that I had not seen, leaned in on my oil-paper umbrella, and took my hand and walked.
It's really dark, I don't like to eat vegetables since I was a child, so I often don't know much at night, I just follow my brother by feeling, but he is tall, and one step is equivalent to how many steps I walk, and I can keep up with him by trotting almost all the way.
My breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on my forehead, and although I couldn't see clearly, I felt that there was still a long way to go. As soon as I sighed silently in my heart, before I could lift my breath, I noticed that my body was light, and my senior brother picked me up with one hand and carried me on my back. I took the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and held it, obediently lying on his back, the wind was a little strong, I couldn't hold the umbrella, so I slowly lowered it, just enough to cover me and my brother.
I forgot to mention that my senior brother and I are disciples of Tianyin Cliff Dao Venerable Qingyao. During the day, I went to school in a private school a few miles away from the Heavenly Hidden Cliff, and if school was late, my brother would come out to pick me up. There are only two disciples in Tianyin Cliff, my senior brother and me, so the huge place is for me, my senior brother and the master.
Master is very famous in the rivers and lakes outside, and most of the strange weapons in the world are from him, and he is also very powerful in medicine and poison. As long as you are in the rivers and lakes, you will definitely have a place where you can get swords and medicine, so although there are only three of us in the Tianyin Cliff, no one dares to come to our cliff to make trouble. Back in the small bamboo building where we lived, Master was cooking. The rice he cooked was very fragrant, but the only ones who could eat it or dared to eat it were me and my brother. Even Master, his old friends don't dare to try it easily. As for my senior brother and I, we have been accustomed to his various experiments since we were children, and we are no longer surprised by the sudden extra poison in the meal, and we can even easily dissolve it.
"Come and try the black chicken soup stewed for the teacher, the ingredients are enough, but it is fragrant. "The chicken was simmered over low heat and I did smell the sultry aroma. When the stomach is empty, the chicken is surprisingly fragrant. A bowl of yellow and clear chicken soup is served, and it is not too easy to drink chicken soup on a snowy day. If she hadn't eaten one or two of her disgusting centipedes from inside.
This thing is a huge supplement, according to this old man's cough...... In the words of his master, after slaughtering the chicken and stewing it, it is necessary to give it some spiritual compensation, and stew it with its food, so that it can go on the road satisfied. But I'm really indifferent to this thing, no matter how nice it sounds, it's a disgusting worm, although the master taught me to make poison back then, and put me in the worm nest a lot, until now, although I can cut the worm and extract the poison handy, but it still leaves a psychological shadow.
But I still ate a big bowl of chicken, and the centipede was secretly thrown under the table by me, and it is better to bless the living chicken than to bury the chicken that I have eaten up.
Full of warm thoughts. Although the old man is a layman who loves money, beauty, and the art of war, he sometimes plays chess and tea. There are many rumors in the outside world about how the Heavenly Hidden Cliff Dao Venerable Qingyao is noble, but he doesn't know that the noble Dao Venerable Fang just snatched a chicken leg from his little disciple's bowl.
The lanterns hanging under the eaves outside gave off a warm glow, shining on the small side. Under that light, flakes of snow were lifted by the wind, swept into the warm room, and melted in the thick of the tea. In the rising white air, the master poured us full of tea, took a sip and put it down before saying slowly, "After this snow month, it will be time for Xiao Jiu'er to enter the WTO." ”
The disciples of Tianyin Cliff have not entered the world for ten years, which is said to be a rule set by our ancestors. I was picked up by my brother from a mountain in the south when I was four years old, and it will be ten years since I was a month. Senior brother joined the WTO as early as five years ago, and he has seen the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes for five years longer than me.
I glanced at my senior brother, but he just lowered his head to take a cup of tea, and there was no look on his face. He glanced at Master again and lowered his head sullenly. I can't tell what it feels like. A few months ago I was extremely happy to be able to get rid of the stern old master with a goatee, to get rid of the obscure scriptures that are difficult to memorize, and to get rid of ...... Centipedes in chicken.
The disciples of Tianyin Cliff accept three people per generation, but in our generation, Master Qingyao only accepts me and my senior brother, maybe we are talented. When the senior brother heard me say this, he looked at me from head to toe, and said lightly, "Who gave you the confidence? centipede that you threw away?"
Me, "......"
Each generation receives three people, one person uses medicine, one person makes poison, one person refines, learns art for ten years into the WTO, and elects the next successor of Tianyin Cliff after ten years of training in the rivers and lakes. The disciples who were selected as the next descendants of the Heavenly Hidden Cliff learned their skills from the other two disciples, and then abolished their veins with their own hands, this is the rule of the Heavenly Hidden Cliff, and the disciples of all generations have followed it.
Master was lucky, he originally practiced poison arts, but the other two uncles died unexpectedly soon after entering the world, and the master taught himself medicine and alchemy, and successfully became the next successor. Because this generation only accepted me and my senior brother, the two of us each practiced two skills. He is medicine and refiner, and I am poison and refiner.
Tianyin Cliff does not often accept female disciples, and even if it does, most of them practice medicinal arts, but I am an exception. At that time, the senior brother had objected, and most of the women who were good at poisoning had a hard time surviving on the rivers and lakes. But Master didn't care and insisted on letting me practice poison arts. I have a natural ability to recognize flowers and plants, so it's not difficult to get used to it, but I hate those poisonous bugs that disgust Bala. My poison technique is on par with my brother's medicinal skills, but in terms of refining weapons, I am far behind my brother, so I am very frustrated, and I have worked hard, but the results are not great.
The snow moon passed quickly. Master took care of everything for me, and he was really much more considerate than when he entered the world. My brother left the Tianyin Cliff half a month earlier than me, I didn't go with him, and I went to the Lanyue Tower in the capital out of the Tianyin Cliff, where the master had entrusted the master to do one thing, and now the master has entrusted me again.
After entering the rivers and lakes, I knew that it was not the wanton and happy appearance I had imagined, but it was a conspiracy and calculation of open swords and hidden arrows. I cautiously walked on thin ice to beg for a living in Lanyue Tower, but I didn't know where my senior brother was chic and happy. However, I can often hear the name of a ghost-faced evil doctor.
The owner of Lanyue Mansion was alone in a cubicle when he saw me, and he was not as lonely and secluded as the rumors suggested, but just cold and cold. Sure enough, the rumors cannot be believed. The complexion is like jade, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and the temperament is cold, but it is the type of man I like. He asked me to go to a canyon in the south to get the intestine-breaking herb and make a poisonous medicine, so as to fight poison with poison and remove the toxins in my body. I glanced at the arm he had been resting on his lap and had never moved, and I was convinced. However, I am also a little curious, even if I am injured, why don't I seek medical advice, but I want me, who is good at making poison, to come, in case I don't grasp the degree well, I didn't discharge his poison, but lost my life.
He got up and walked over to me and walked close to me and looked down at me. He was so much taller than me that I could only look up at him. After a while, he touched the top of my head with his uninjured hand and smiled lightly, "I believe in you." "Later, I heard from the girl in the building that the owner of Lanyue Tower is called Yechen.
A few days later I set out for the south, and went to the canyon where he said to find the Broken Gut Grass, and a few other poisonous things, and I would take them with me when I went out this time. On the way, I tried to contact my brother many times, but there was no news, and I couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Senior brother, did he deliberately avoid me?
Half a month later, I arrived at the canyon, but I never found the broken intestine grass. After inquiring with the nearby villagers, I learned that the broken intestine grass in this valley had been taken away by the ghost doctor. The ghost-faced evil doctor often covers his face with a ghost face, and he does not save the wicked, hence this name.
If he doesn't save the wicked, that is, he only saves the wicked? It's funny, and I want to meet him. Because of this, he has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes.
After listening to a lot of things about this ghost doctor, I suddenly thought of my senior brother, he has a somewhat rebellious personality, and this ghost-faced evil doctor has a similar style to him. But in a remote alley, he appeared in front of me without warning, but he was not a senior brother. Although he is masked, I have been with my senior brother for ten years, how can I not recognize him. The ghost doctor has an evil aura all over his body, and although the senior brother is rebellious, he does not practice evil ways.
I used poison well, and my brother admitted that he praised me without hesitation. Although I use poison, I never want to use poison to harm people. I never thought that this ghost doctor would also make poison, and the use of poison is not under me. I was a little invincible, and gradually I was at a disadvantage, and the ghost doctor chuckled strangely, as if to laugh at my inadequacy. The dignified Heavenly Hidden Cliff made the poisonous disciples faint by others, and spreading it will definitely make the people in the rivers and lakes laugh off their big teeth. I gritted my teeth and held on, then fainted in a strange cloud of smoke he released.
When I woke up again, I was in a log cabin with a bag of tips and a broken grass in it. I'm familiar with the style of that bag, it's my brother's. Maybe my brother saved me and brought me here, but he didn't show up.
I had some inexplicable emotions in my heart, thinking of the battle for the disciples of the Heavenly Hidden Cliff to enter the WTO. I knew that I was not an enemy of my brother, and I never wanted to be an enemy of him. I just want to be happy and free on the rivers and lakes for ten years, and after ten years, I obediently go back and let him break my muscles, and it is not bad to be an ordinary waste person from now on.
It can be regarded as repaying his kindness for bringing me back to the Heavenly Hidden Cliff.
I took the Broken Intestine Grass back to Lanyue Tower, and made the most poisonous medicine for the Night Dust Boy. Childe thanked me heavily, and I accepted it. Master said that if you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of the bastard, let alone the cheapness of the man I like. What the hell is reserved? non-existent!
I went to the south again, investigating the ghost doctor and looking for my brother's whereabouts. will also occasionally use poison to punish one or two wicked scum.
I met my brother in a village where there was a sudden plague, and my brother was curing the disease and saving people. This is the brother I have always known. The plague in this village was sudden, and the cause of the disease could not be found, so my brother saved people, and I helped my brother study herbal medicine and insects to see if I could find a cure.
The plague spread quickly, gradually spreading from this village to the imperial city. The people in the city were terrified. The attitude of the Heavenly Family is unclear, and it seems that some people in the DPRK and China support healing and saving people, and some people want to ignore it and close the village and burn it.
The senior brother studied the healing technique day and night, and finally found a solution. The people of Plague Village were saved. They were originally from the imperial city, but they were banished to this village because of illness, and when they recovered, they were isolated in other cities.
I can't always rely on my brother, I know. I need to experience the various states of the rivers and lakes on my own, and I can't just rely on the protection of my senior brother. Knowing that he is thriving in the rivers and lakes, as if he is working under a small prince, I am also relieved.
I've met that prince once, and he seems to be very easy to get along with, and he doesn't look like a person who can play tricks.
I traveled all the way, watched a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and was almost recruited by a girl. Although they blamed me for their itching, it was their fault that they didn't find out that I was a woman. However, after going to Duohualou to drink tea, I realized that I had been dressed as a man since I was a child, no wonder people mistakenly thought I was a man.
Unconsciously, five years have passed, and I have received a lot of orders to punish adultery and eliminate evil. With the poison in my hands, I got rid of the wicked people in the world, and I also made some names in the rivers and lakes, and was called a chivalrous woman. It's still quite cool in my heart.
In the past five years, I have been going to Lanyue Tower from time to time to brush up my presence in front of the Night Dust Boy, and he often invites me to be a guest there, I feel that he must have a good impression of me, maybe it was love at first sight, but I am embarrassed to say.
Seeing my senior brother again, it was a major incident in the rivers and lakes, and the leader of the martial arts alliance died violently with a heavy poison. This poison is still the poison I use without death, and the better poison is still created by me, and I am the only one in the world who can use it.
It seems that there is also a senior brother, I have used this poison on him, and he has learned to solve it.
All of a sudden, my reputation was tarnished, and all sorts of gossip followed, and I became the target of public criticism. My brother took me with him and forbade me to take half a step away from him. But this year's leader has a great reputation and many followers. A lot of high-rollers came to me to seek revenge. Although I was well protected in the courtyard by my senior brother, it was inevitable that someone would take advantage of my brother's absence and arrest me for questioning. These righteous men pride themselves on being upright and do not torture me, a little woman, but they do not pity me at all, and lock me up in a dark room at will, and all the poison on my body is taken away.
But as a disciple of the Poison Saint, how could I not have any other place to hide poison on my body. Taking advantage of the dark sky, I stunned a few guards and escaped, but just in time for a familiar eldest brother on my brother's side to lead a group of people to save me, but I didn't see my senior brother. When I climbed over the wall and went out, I accidentally fell and broke my leg, and I fled for a distance in pain, but I saw my brother waiting for me.
Seeing him look at me like that, and as I slowly approached, it had been a long time since I saw him, and I realized how much I missed him. The grievances I had suffered recently suddenly broke out, and I buried myself in his arms and cried so much that he didn't speak, but patted me gently.
He carried me on his back, tired from crying, like that snowy night when I had not yet entered the world, and carried me back step by step. Later, this matter was suppressed by him, and it turned out that I still had to rely on, my senior brother.
After a few months of being with my brother, Master suddenly appeared and took me back, saying that I had lost someone to him and wanted me to go back and practice for another year or two before entering the world.
I knew that I had lost people to him, but I never thought that it was abnormal for Master to act like this, and it also broke the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation in Tianyin Cliff. In the dispute between the disciples of Tianyin Cliff to enter the WTO, those who are teachers are not allowed to interfere.
In the past two years, I haven't paid attention to any things in the rivers and lakes, concentrated on practicing poison arts, and secretly dabbled in some medicinal arts. Two years later, I re-entered the WTO, but it was not in the rivers and lakes that I was familiar with.
The owner of Lanyue Tower, Ye Chen, was originally the third prince of today's saint, who had forbearance and hidden strength for many years, and his plump wings, and a few months ago the emperor died mysteriously, and he defeated his brother who was equal to him to win the treasure.
His defeated brother is the prince for whom Senior Brother Shaoyu once worked. The emperor did not die strangely and violently, but he was heavily poisoned, colorless, tasteless and imperceptible, and his intestines were broken.
Goodbye brother, he was disfigured. Picked a hamstring, with a half-mask on his face, and sat in a wheelchair. And the defeated prince is already in a different place.
I never knew that my brother's name in the rivers and lakes was called the ghost-faced evil doctor.
