Chapter 11 Decisions

Han Ming's face was full of doubts after leaving Hua Lao's cave mansion, this Hua Lao's personality changed too quickly. Not long ago, he tortured him with strange methods to die, and later, he was quite kind and kind in the next moment.

Han Ming was a little apprehensive now, he was secretly glad that Hua Lao hadn't found the nameless formula, otherwise he wouldn't know how to treat him!

After this incident, Han Ming also realized that he was still too naïve, his concentration was far from enough, and he was too taken for granted!

At the same time, Han Ming also realized that Hua Lao's unfathomable depth, this old man could control his life without even leaving the door, which was really powerful.

Han Ming began to wander around, wanting to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment first, he had a hunch that he might stay here for a long time.

There are a lot of strange flowers and plants on the edge of Hua Lao Cave Mansion, planted together one by one, uneven height, many of them are in the flowering season, and the colorful flowers exude a faint fragrance.

Han Ming was surprised to find that there was a small pond behind a piece of flowers and trees, and the pond was full of lotus flowers.

Most of the waters in the lotus pond are white or pink lotus, but in the center of the lotus pond there is a lonely lotus flower, this lotus flower does not have a lotus leaf within a zhang of the lotus flower, and there is no other lotus flower, which is very unique.

Han Ming took a look and found that half of the petals of this lotus flower were white, and half of the petals were pink. In amazement, he couldn't help but look at the lotus flower not far away again, and then he realized that in addition to the white and pink petals, the lotus flower also had a small black petal hidden in the innermost layer.

Han Ming swallowed his saliva, when he saw this three-color lotus, a strange legend that he heard when he was a child popped up in his mind, according to legend, there is a three-color lotus flower that absorbs the essence of ten thousand lotuses, and it is a fairy lotus that falls from the sky. If someone takes it after it is mature, he can live the dead, flesh and bones, and become a land immortal.

"Could it be that this is the kind of fairy lotus? Han Ming's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't help licking his lips and touching his nose again.

"Alas, how is it possible, if it is really a fairy lotus, Hua Lao will let it grow here! And legends are legends, and they can't be true. Han Ming thought about it and denied the possibility that this was an immortal lotus.

Han Ming reluctantly looked away from the three-colored lotus, and then walked around, he wanted to see what other strange flowers and plants were here.

Han Ming grew up next to the mountains since he was a child, and he didn't know too few trees, but after turning around, he saw hundreds of plants, but he didn't even know one.

"This is ginseng, so many leaves!" Han Ming finally saw the only plant he could recognize in a remote corner, but he was startled. The twenty or thirty ginseng plants planted in the corner at random are more than ten years old, let alone twenty or thirty plants, and even one of them is precious and abnormal in the outside world!

Han Ming didn't tamper with these herbs, these flowers and plants were all Hua Lao's, he didn't want to violate Hua Lao's taboo! When he was probably familiar with the surrounding environment, he walked outside, he wanted to go to the bamboo house that Hua Lao said.

After walking a few steps, Han Ming saw a young man running towards him in the distance, and the young man was followed by an old servant, Han Ming smiled slightly, because he recognized the person, who was not the young master of the Zhu family, Zhu Yiwen.

"Didn't you wait for me in the carriage, I couldn't find you when I went back, and I thought you had been abducted by human traffickers. Zhu Yiwen wrinkled his nose and pointed at Han Ming with his little finger, a little puffed.

"Hua Lao wants to see me! I can't help but come. Han Ming smiled helplessly and spread his hands.

"Hmph, isn't your poison good, what is he looking for you?" Zhu Yiwen was still a little angry, staring at Han Ming with a pair of big eyes.

"Well, what do you say, Hua Lao wants to take me as an apprentice. Han Ming picked out the most important part and told Zhu Yiwen to listen.

"Really, take you as an apprentice? Quickly call a couple of senior brothers to listen to it, haha. Zhu Yiwen seemed to have heard something extremely happy, and his face instantly smiled.

"You are the apprentice before Hua Lao, how could it be?" Han Ming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"Why not, it's all the fault of the two strings of sugar gourds, hum. Zhu Yiwen seemed to remember something unhappy, and clenched his fists with his small hands, as if he was going to beat someone hard.

"Sugar gourd? There was a hint of doubt on Han Ming's face, how did he get the sugar gourd.

"I was frail since I was a child, and since I was five years old, I was prescribed to eat only three meals, no more and no less, and I ate all medicinal food, not ordinary meals at all. Zhu Yiwen recalled his miserable life in the past, and his little face was full of bitterness.

"Until I was nine years old, the old man took two strings of sugar gourds and tricked me into worshipping him as a teacher. At that time, I didn't know that I was cured, I didn't need to take medicine and food anymore, and I could eat normal things, but I was deceived and became his apprentice. Zhu Yiwen wrinkled his nose fiercely, cursing Hua Lao viciously in his heart, like a beard falling out, teeth falling out, and so on

Han Ming was speechless for a while, Hua Lao's eldest apprentice was deceived by two strings of sugar gourds, and if he became Hua Lao's apprentice, then Hua Lao's second apprentice should be regarded as forced by coercion and temptation, this Hua Lao is really a failure, and he has to "do whatever it takes" to accept an apprentice.

At this time, Han Ming suddenly thought of the middle-aged scribe named White-clothed who had just led the way for him, that person wanted to worship Hua Lao as a teacher, but Hua Lao just wouldn't accept it. Han Ming now sympathized with this middle-aged scribe in his heart, it seemed that he was even more defeated than Hua Lao.

"But although he tricked me into becoming an apprentice, I just didn't learn the medical skills he taught me, and he didn't have a problem and accepted me as an apprentice for nothing. In the future, I will become a martial arts master, a generation of chivalrous warriors, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, how can I help people see a doctor all day long!" Zhu Yiwen put his arm on Han Ming's shoulder and laughed.

"Did Hua Lao live here before? How do I feel that the medicine garden was built especially for him. Han Ming was extremely puzzled by this, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, he's been here for a long time, but it's my first time. Senior brother, let's go around, it doesn't seem to be a small place, maybe there's something interesting about going around!" Zhu Yiwen didn't discuss with Han Ming, grabbed his arm and left, and began to explore the entire Zhu Chiyuan.

I have to say that the Zhu family and the Chi family are really wealthy, and this manor has been built nine turns and eighteen turns. Han Ming and Zhu Yiwen didn't find their way back after wandering around, but the two of them were not afraid, after all, they were still in Zhu Chiyuan, were they still afraid of any danger?

It was dark after a while, and Zhu Yiwen was invited away by a few maids, saying that it was a unified dinner party between the two families of Zhu Chi. Zhu Yiwen didn't want to go at first, but under the pitiful pleading of the maid, he left very reluctantly.

After Zhu Yiwen left, Han Ming also returned to the bamboo house not far from Hua Lao's residence, but he saw an unexpected person.

A sickly middle-aged scribe in a green robe was cleaning up a room in a bamboo hut, and Han Ming recognized the green-robed scribe as the one who led him to see Hua Lao at noon, and Han Ming remembered that he seemed to be called Baiyi.

"Why are you here, and what are you doing here?" the white-clothed scribe frowned and looked at Han Ming with some confusion.

"Hua Lao let me live here, No, Hua Lao gave me the waist card at this time. Han Ming took out the waist card given by Hua Lao.

The green-robed middle-aged scribe seemed to have seen something incredible, he approached Han Ming with an arrow, reached out and took the token from Han Ming's hand.

Han Ming was stunned, this person's speed was too fast, he floated in front of him in the blink of an eye!

"How so, how could it be!" the green-robed scribe looked a little excited, his pale face turned a little bloody, and his left hand gently stroked the token.

"Alas, Master Hua has accepted you as a disciple!" The green-clothed scribe sighed after a moment of confusion, and handed the waist card to Han Ming with some reluctance.

"Ah, he wants to take me as an apprentice!Uncle, how do you know?" Han Ming was a little surprised, he flipped the token over, and found that there was nothing special on it except for a Chinese character of dragon flying and phoenix dancing and some strange patterns.

"My surname is Bai Yi, and I am Old Lady Zhu's personal physician and bodyguard, you can call me Senior Brother Qi in the future. The middle-aged scribe took a deep breath, and then looked at Han Ming's eyes a little gentle.

"Senior Brother Qi, then why are you here?" Han Ming wondered a little in his heart, this person was twenty years older than him, and let him call him Senior Brother, isn't his head broken, could it be that this middle-aged scribe is Hua Lao's trust?

"I've lived here before, and I'll live here for a while. Senior Brother Qi's eyes were a little lonely, as if he remembered something.

"Senior Brother Qi, why is your face so pale, are you sick? Aren't you a doctor? Han Ming finally asked, after all, he might live with this Senior Brother Qi in the future, and it would be miserable if he was infected with some incurable disease.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry, I'm caused by practice, and it won't be contagious!" Senior Brother Qi looked at Han Ming with a smile, as if he saw what Han Ming was thinking.

Han Ming smiled and touched the bridge of his nose with his right hand: "Practice, what kind of kung fu can make a cultivator become like this." ”

"Well, let's go, go into the house, don't stand here stupidly, there are still some snacks in it, you can eat as you like." As soon as Senior Brother Qi greeted Han Ming, he walked towards the bamboo building.

The bamboo building is not small, there are twenty or thirty rooms on the two floors, and finally Han Ming chose a room to the north, the room is not big, the only advantage is that the field of vision is broad, and you can see Hua Lao's cave mansion when you stand in front of the window.

Senior Brother Qi also helped Han Ming clean up the room after Han Ming's selection, if he let outsiders know that Lu Sha, one of Old Lady Zhu's five major guards, actually helped a kid clean the room, I am afraid that his jaw would drop all over the place.

And Han Ming didn't know that this gentle Senior Brother Qi was a murderous demon outside, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to live with this sick person if he was killed.

Senior Brother Qi left after cleaning up after a few words, at this time he returned to a sick appearance, walking lightly, as if he could lose his breath at any time, looking at his trembling back downstairs, Han Ming was afraid that he would die on the floor if he was unstable under his feet.

Han Ming saw Qi Baiyi go downstairs, he went back to his room, and then lay down on the bed in a big character, listening carefully to the wind outside, but he began to think about how he should go in the future.

"Since Hua Lao didn't discover my nameless formula, it's not impossible to stay, and where can I go if I don't stay now! Besides, Hua Lao's means of controlling me at noon are extraordinary, if I can learn a trick and a half, I will have some self-preservation power to continue eastward in the future. And I don't even know where Jiang Guo is now, so I can't rush on the road again. Han Ming muttered silently in his heart, which could be regarded as persuading himself.

"Moreover, Senior Brother may have something to do with that Cecilia blood poison, otherwise Hua Lao would not have mentioned him, so I should stay. Han Ming's mind came to mind the innocent and handsome young master Zhu Yiwen.

"Alas, stay first, let's take one step at a time in the future, be cautious in everything, and think twice before acting. Han Ming made up his mind.

Han Ming calmed down for a while, sat on the bed and began to practice the nameless mantra, he thought that his qualifications were dull, and he only hoped that he could make up for his lack of qualifications by being diligent.
