"By the way, why don't you see Qiansuo waiting for you on the side. ”

Xia Tan suddenly asked about Qiansuo's whereabouts.

"I heard that he went to find a panacea for me. Xia Yuan replied.

"This little rabbit cub, I asked him to take care of the eldest brother every step of the way, and he dared to ......" Xia Tan was a little displeased, and he reproached.

Xia Yuan persuaded on the side: "Second brother, Qiansuo is also kind-hearted, don't blame him, there are many people in this mansion, and Qianru takes care of him, so let him go." ”

"Okay, big brother. Xia Tan helped Xia Yuan cover up the quilt: "I can rest assured that Qianru is here, but, big brother, I heard that there is a third-order house slave taking care of you, who is this person? How can a third-order house slave ......?"

"Second brother, this person's name is Song Ningxi, an orphan I brought back with my own hands, and it was Qiansuo who asked him to take care of me, humble and polite, and behaved in a disciplined manner, if it weren't for his humble background, how could I let him be a third-order house slave, you can rest assured. ”

"In that case, then I'm relieved. ”

"Tan'er, let's not disturb your eldest brother's rest too much, order someone to give your eldest brother the white jade unicorn fruit, you go to Honghua Mountain with me, there are important things that need your help. Mr. Wu Zhe said to Xia Tan.

"Okay, Uncle Wu. When Xia Tan left the bedside, he comforted Xia Yuan and said, "Big brother, you can rest well, everything is assured." ”

"Second brother Lao is bothered. Xia Yuan replied.

Mr. Wu Zhe took Xia Tan from Baiji Ridge in the southwest corner of Qingying Peak, passed through the Fensha River, traveled all the way, and on the fourth day, he arrived at Honghua Mountain.

"Tan'er, ahead is Red Birch Mountain. On the distance of Honghua Mountain, Wu Zhe pointed to the mountains and introduced it to Xia Tan with an ebony pole.

Xia Tan looked around, saw the peaks of the red birch mountain like gathering, the dangerous peaks were like clouds, the top of the mountain was full of clouds and mist, the purple gas was pervasive, the plains at the foot of the mountain were vast, the lakes and mountain streams were lined up with astrolabes, the mountains were full of fiery red birch trees, the beasts and birds in the forest were at ease, and it was a fairyland at a glance.

"The scenery is truly like no other. Xia Tan couldn't help but praise.

"Tan'er, there is a Baicao Cave Immortal living in this Red Birch Mountain, called Wu Beiqu, who is my fellow disciple, we came here today to borrow a hanging pot and refine the blood spirit pill to save your eldest brother. ”

Mr. Wu Zhe introduced to Xia Tan while climbing the mountain.

"Oh, since it's Uncle Wu's junior brother, it's hard to talk about it. ”

"Hehehe......" Wu Zhe stopped and sat on a stone to rest: "You don't know this, my junior brother has an enmity with me, this time we are bold to go, he will definitely make things difficult for us." ”

"There is a feud?!" Xia Tan looked curious, he sat down next to Mr. Wu Zhe and handed the kettle on his waist to Mr. Wu Zhe.

Mr. Wu Zhe drank water and said: "Back then, I practiced with my senior brother in Beiqu under my master's Shengyang Sanxian Sect, both of us were comparable in medical and magical skills, and the master intended to cultivate one of our inheritors, so he asked us to compete, I fought with him for three days and three nights, and my junior brother in order to win me, when I was trying to compete with Xuanfa martial arts, I was unprepared, and gave me a poisonous Gu technique, and then I was defeated, but this matter was known to the master. ”

"Did the Shengyang Sanxian seniors punish your junior brother?" Xia Tan asked.

"My master abolished his ears and nose, and made him unable to hear or smell. Originally, I wanted to demote him to the extremely cold Youqiu Mountain, but I interceded for him at that time and asked the master to let him go, and the master demoted him to this Red Birch Mountain. ”

"Here!" Xia Tan was startled.

"Yes, this is an out-of-this-world paradise for us, but for my junior brother, it is nothing more than a beautifully decorated cage. Wu Zhe stretched out his hand and asked Xia Tan to help him get up: "There is an enchantment formation in this mountain, as long as the junior brother walks out of this Red Birch Mountain, the Yuan Spirit will collapse, and life is better than death." ”

"Then how long has your junior brother been here?" Xia Tan helped Mr. Wu Zhe slowly up the mountain.

"I'm afraid it's been ninety-two years this year. ”

While talking, the two went up the mountain for a short time to arrive at the hollow cliff where Wu Beiqu lived.

On the hollow cliff, in a huge pot circle rock surrounded on three sides, seven or eight houses are built along the rock wall, the outer wall of the house is dotted with green bricks, the roof is covered with green tiles, and the courtyard outside the house is placed with medicine shelves, and various herbs are neatly placed inside.

A child was grinding medicine in the yard.

"Child, there is something wrong with your crushing technique, and the medicine is easy to disperse. ”

Mr. Wu Zhe walked into the courtyard slowly with a cane.

The child raised his head, looked at Wu Zhe curiously with big eyes and asked, "Old man, who are you?"

"The old man's name is Wu Zhe. Wu Zhe squinted and smiled.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person flying out of the room in front of him, holding a sharp sword in his hand.

I saw that the man was a sturdy young man in his twenties, wearing a white cross-collared robe, broad shoulders and strong arms, long eyes and sparse eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, and the ears on both sides drooped down his chest, but he had a white jade headband on the top of his head, which was in it.

"Old thief, you are Wu Zhe! Look at the sword!" the young man in white raised his sword and stabbed him without saying anything.

Mr. Wu Zhe knocked the black staff on the ground, and a force rolled up the dust on the ground, forming a wave of air and impacting the past.

The young man in white flew in the air, swept his sword, and cut through the waves.

Wu Zhe was startled, and hurriedly staggered back, Xia Tan saw the situation and made a move, only to see Xia Tan turn his palm into a claw, and violently embed the wrist of the young man in white.

The young man stopped in the air, and the force in his palm forced the sword to cut around, forcing Xia Tan to let go and retreat.

In order to avoid the blade of the sword, Xia Tan took a step back, but he still attacked and defended well, he fell backwards violently and threw out a whip leg, knocking away the sword of the young man in white.

Then he stepped forward, stood up, and took the throat of the young man in white with his palm, and the young man in white rotated his body to open the distance, and his body was extremely flexible.

Xia Tan saw the young man in white flying to the side, raised his head and flew away, catching the sword of the young man in white.

"The kid is rude!" Xia Tan held the sword in his hand, and with a dodge, the tip of the sword reached the throat of the young man in white.

The young man in white was unconvinced at the moment, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

He snorted coldly and tilted his face to the side.

"Huaiyu!"

With a shout, a flying needle carrying a stream of true qi pushed open the door and flew straight towards Xia Tan.

Xia Tan returned to the sword to block, and after the crisp collision sound, Huaiyu, a young man in white who was only one step away from Xia Tan, was rescued.

"Two seniors, Huaiyu was rude just now, look at the two Haihan. ”

Outside the main hall on the five-step wooden steps, another white-clothed young man protected Huaiyu behind him and bowed to Xia Tan Wu Zhe.

"This young man is so handsome. Xia Tan recalled the scene just now, it was indeed not easy for this young man in white to save a person in an instant.

Xia Tan held his sword and said, "Dare to ask who this young man is." ”

The young man in white looked up and saw that his eyebrows were clear, and there was a tear-like red mark on his forehead. The bridge of the nose is high, and the dress is no different from the previous white-clothed boy Huaiyu, but the figure is thinner than Huaiyu.

"Two seniors, under Li Huaige, this is my younger brother Li Huaiyu. ”

"The Hundred Grass Crossing Cave Immortal is your master?" Wu Zhe approached and asked.

"Exactly, dare to ask who the old gentleman is?" asked Li Huaige.

"Lao Yu is Wu Zhe, his senior brother. Wu Zhe replied.

"Well, it turned out that Uncle Shi had arrived. Li Huaige hurriedly went down the stairs, came to Wu Zhe, and said, "Disciple Huaige greets the master." ”

"Oh......" Wu Zhe then said with both hands: "Good, Huaige, where is your master?"

"Old thief, you dare to mention my master!" Huaiyu, who was standing on the steps, scolded again.

Huaige turned around and whispered, "Huaiyu, don't be rude." ”

"I ......" Huaiyu still looked aggrieved, he gritted his teeth angrily, made a posture of bowing his head, and shouted reluctantly: "Uncle." ”

Wu Zhe saw that the atmosphere here was not right, so he hurriedly asked, "Huaige, Huaiyu, where is your master?"

"Please come with me to the inner hall, and we'll talk slowly. Li Huaige brought the two into the inner hall.

Serve fragrant tea.

"I don't know who this senior is?" Li Huaige handed the teacup to Xia Tan and asked.

"This is Xia Tan, the younger brother of Xia Yuan, the master of the Qingxuan Sword Sect. Wu Zhe introduced.

"Well, it turned out to be Mr. Xia Tan, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Huaige Shaoxia is polite. Xia Tan said politely with a teacup.

"Mr. Xia, are you willing to return my sword?" Li Huaiyu sat on the right side of the main seat, and his eyes never left Xia Tan's seat, because Xia Tan handed over his Moon Chasing Sword and placed it diagonally on the edge of the tea table.

"Return from the pawn. After that, Xia Tan picked up his fingers and pushed the sword in front of Li Huaiyu, Li Huaiyu got up to take the sword, and when he sat down again, the sword had already been returned to the sheath.

"Uncle Shi, the family teacher passed away three years ago. ”

Huai Ge returned to the main seat and said to Wu Zhe.

Wu Zheyi was shocked: "This ...... How is this possible? His Dao forensic skills are so high, how can he ......?"

"Five years ago, the evil plague was raging at the foot of Honghua Mountain, and in order to save the people under the mountain, the master forcibly broke through the enchantment formation, causing the Yuan Spirit to collapse, and he passed away after two years. ”

Five years ago, it was a rainy night in Red Birch Mountain.

At the exit of the enchantment formation, Huaige Huaiyu knelt in front of Wu Beiqu and begged bitterly: "Master, you can't go out of the enchantment. ”

Although Wu Beiqu couldn't hear with his ears, he could read lips, and he held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand and helped the two disciples up: "Huaige, Huaiyu, the evil plague under the mountain is strange, the people are in danger, if I don't go, they will all die." ”

"But master, this enchantment formation is set up by the master, and once you go out, you will definitely ......" Huaiyu didn't say that word.

"The Yuan Spirit is scattered, for the teacher to know. Wu Beiqu was very indifferent to this ending: "I am more than 100 years old as a teacher, compared to the world, the master has already earned, when I was young, I was competitive and competitive, and I didn't understand the way of a real doctor. Wu Beiqu pulled the hands of the two disciples and his own hands together: "For the doctor to hang the pot to help the world, do not be arrogant, do not look at no one, must be humble and merciful, no matter what the identity of the patient, whether it is an emperor or a beggar, you must treat everyone equally and do your duty." ”

"Master!" Li Huaige called softly, as if he had some understanding.

"This time, the evil plague under the mountain is very strange, the teacher has always been interested in incurable diseases, when I competed with my senior brother, I did lose. The corners of Wu Beiqu's mouth raised, and he laughed at himself: "If I can solve the evil plague under the mountain this time, I will definitely let him know that I can win him." ”

"Master!" Li Huaiyu was a little anxious: "Don't go!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the master's clothes.

"Hum ......" Wu Beiqu snorted and laughed, and then with a wave of his right hand, a palm wind sealed Huaige Huaiyu's limbs and veins.

"This is called the Wind Needle, when the teacher comes back to teach you, your acupoints will be unlocked before dawn. ”

Wu Beiqu handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Huaiyu's half-raised hand, and clenched his fingers into fists: "It will rain later, leave the umbrella for the teacher, if you feel a little cold, you can decoct the medicine by yourself." ”

After that, Wu Beiqu turned around and walked towards the exit of the barrier, and when he arrived at the mountain pass, an orange luster formation flashed on the ground, and within the formation, the runes fluctuated, and eight subtle electric lights surged, gathering into the air and hitting Wu Beiqu's body.

Wu Beiqu's old body, in a stream of electric light, slowly walked out of the mountain pass and disappeared into the night.
