Chapter 29: On the banks of the Canglan River
Qin Hongyun turned his head slightly, glanced at the inner hall of the inn, and saw two men dressed as Jianghu people connecting their ears, the person on the right was older, and he already had a beard under his chin, he spoke, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank it. The man on the left was still young, about thirty years old, and said, "Brother, are you serious?" The man who spoke before was deliberately taunting, and when he saw that he didn't believe it, he put the wine glass on the table and said arrogantly: "You don't believe me?"
The young man said: "How dare you! It's just that the medicine king is by no means an idle person, with his own medical skills, he can be said to be a hundred responses in the rivers and lakes, and I really can't think of anyone who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!" The middle-aged man chuckled, his expression was quite disdainful, and said: "You are not a kid who has just set foot in the rivers and lakes, how can you not understand this simple truth?" You must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, even if it is Qin Mutian, the first swordsman in the Central Plains, it cannot be said that no one can control him!"
Qin Hongyun snorted coldly when he heard this, and said in his heart: There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people, this truth is not bad, but from a mouth like you, there is no reason to make people disgusted! But if he wants to know the situation in the Medicine King Valley, he can only "cover his nose" and listen.
The young man was not angry, but nodded his head in favor, and then said: "What the predecessor said is very true, but I don't know which hero is the one who is embarrassed by the Medicine King Valley?"
The middle-aged man's face was slightly embarrassed, obviously not knowing who that person was. He drank a glass of wine to cover up, and then said: "Although I am a Han Chinese, I have lived here for a long time, and I can't recognize those rising stars." He seemed to feel that he could not get over his face, and said, "It is said that the man was tall and mighty, like a god, and his whole body was knotted, as if he was not made of flesh, but of fine iron." ”
The young man had a fascinated expression on his face, and muttered, "What a great man from the northern kingdom! It's just such a character, why should he be embarrassed by the Medicine King? Although the Nangong Valley Lord has a strange temper, he is not a person who is extremely evil!" The middle-aged man laughed dryly, and then said, "There are many things in this world that are not right or wrong. Whether you love each other or attack each other, most of them are because of interests. Taishi said: 'The hustle and bustle are all for profit, and the hustle and bustle is for profit.' That's what it means. ”
Qin Hongyun heard that his two words were reasonable, and couldn't help but nod in agreement, thinking: The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Qin Bo also said that his father's experience after the death of his master was quite bumpy because of his family swordsmanship. When he thought of his father's youth, he couldn't help but think of himself, and said secretly: Although my father has experienced ups and downs, he can still not forget his original intention and uphold good thoughts, but I am becoming more and more biased, could it be that I am really not my father's child?
Thinking of this question, he became upset again, and immediately shook his head fiercely, forcing himself to listen attentively. At this time, the young man said: "Hearing you say this, that person didn't mean to embarrass the Nangong Valley Lord, but... Are you just jealous of his medical skills, or do you want to ask him to come to his rescue?"
The middle-aged man didn't expect him to have such an opinion, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "Maybe that's the case, who knows?" He wanted to eat and drink every time he said a few words, a plate of cooked beef and a pot of good wine immediately went down, he burped, touched his belly again, and shouted to the inner hall: "Xiao Er, another pot of Huadiao, two catties of cooked beef!"
Qin Hongyun glanced at Uncle Qin, and when he saw a smile in his eyes, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he thought he could hear some great secret, but he found out that he was a cheater. Qin Hongyun didn't care about him anymore, got out of the car and walked to the carriage, just as he was about to open the curtain and help Qin Mutian out, the middle-aged man said: "As far as I know, if you want him to come to the rescue, I'm afraid it's even more difficult than ascending to the sky!" The young man said: "Why? Isn't it the duty of a doctor to save the dead and help the wounded?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Duty? Many years ago, he pulled a thief back from the ghost gate, but what was the result? That man saw his wife's beauty, so he took advantage of him to go up the mountain to collect medicine, raped and killed her, and then in order to kill the mouth, he didn't even let go of a slave, and he didn't even let go of a slave, and he took pity on his family for more than 40 people, and only one person was left alive alone!"
Qin Hongyun rushed up angrily when he heard this, and then he only heard a "click", and the wheel made of pear wood was actually crushed by him. Fortunately, the young man was also jealous and hateful, and after hearing this, his big hand fell on the table suddenly, and shouted: "Such a dog thief, he really needs a thousand knives!"
The middle-aged man saw that the diners stopped their movements one after another, looked at them like monkeys, hurriedly hugged them, said sorry, and then lowered his voice, and said: "Since then, he has accepted four disciples, and each of them has learned the same skill, as long as you pass their test, even if your life is on the line, you can rest assured!" said and patted the young man's shoulder.
The young man was already a little absent-minded, gritted his teeth, seemed to have made some decision, and said, "Senior, the person I asked you just now is really in the Medicine King Valley?" The middle-aged man waved his hand. The young man frowned, and said with some displeasure: "What the senior said just now is all lies?" The middle-aged man straightened his face and said, "You kid, why did I talk to you falsely? The person you asked was originally good in the Medicine King Valley, but when I saw him, he just left the valley. There was only one avenue to the east, and the young man did not delay any longer, and said: "Senior, there is something important to do, so I have to suspend today's joy!" As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, then picked up the long sword and walked out. The middle-aged man saw that he was walking away, and deliberately shouted, "Oh, this... How can this break the bank? I'm so embarrassed!"
The young man turned a deaf ear, and when he walked in front of Qin Hongyun, he couldn't help but stop, looked at him and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but is it Zhu Gongzi?"
Qin Hongyun glanced at him and said lightly: "No!" He didn't know if this person was a friend or an enemy of Zhu Gongzi, so he didn't plan to tell him Zhu Gongzi's whereabouts. The young man looked apologetic, bowed to Qin Hongyun, and then walked out of the inn.
Qin Hongyun and the others ate and drank at the inn for half an hour, then asked for three rooms to rest, slept until noon, and then set off towards the Medicine King Valley. Xuanye Zen Master's letter only said the approximate location of the Medicine King Valley, to this point, has lost the guiding significance, so everyone specially inquired about the location of the shopkeeper, and then set off, they follow the road in front of the door, all the way to the south, the scenery is quite beautiful, but no one appreciates, just care about the boring head.
After walking for about an hour, there was a sudden sound of water in front of me, and when I got closer, there was a big river in front of me, there was a chain bridge on the river, and there was a person squatting in front of the bridge, who seemed to be depicting the landscape in front of him, but he turned his back to everyone and could not see his face.
