Chapter 36: Xiao Man's Past
"Sister, I'm back. Xiao Man went back to her house, a dilapidated house, a house in a remote slum.
She doesn't live here because she's poor, it's just to hide her eyes.
In this Chang'an City, there are many people who want to kill her, and she is not the opponent of those people, so she can only change the location so often to avoid the pursuit of those people.
Her luck seems to have been very good, and she has been hiding in this Chang'an City for nearly three years, and she has never been caught.
Although she has been living a life of fugitives, she has never thought of leaving Chang'an City, she can't leave, because in this Chang'an City, there are medicine valleys and medicine immortals.
That was her only hope.
"Ahem, Xiaoman, it's good to come back, you're not hurt," a weak voice came from inside the room.
Xiao Man pushed open the door, with a smile on her face when she was excited, she was holding a crystal jade box in her hand, and in the box, a bright red heart seemed to be beating from time to time.
She rushed into the house and shouted excitedly, "Sister, you see, I succeeded." ”
"What?" In the room, the beautiful girl lying on the bed didn't react for a while.
She turned her head to look at the door and saw the jade box Xiao Man was holding in his hand.
"This, this is the heart of the poison king?" the girl was a little incredulous.
In fact, this is not the first time Xiao Man has participated in the trials of Qingyun Academy.
She had already been there once last year, but that time, he had almost died in the Trials.
This year is the second time, she doesn't want to join Qingyun Academy, the reason why she participates in the trials of Qingyun Academy again and again is to go to the depths of the endless forest, to hunt this quasi-sixth-order poisonous elvis, and obtain the heart of the poisonous king to "heal" her sister.
Her "sister", the beautiful girl lying on the bed, is not her own sister.
Her surname is Li, Li Shuyan, a child of the Li family, one of the six families in Chang'an City.
And Xiaoman is not from the Li family, she doesn't know who her parents are, she was adopted by Li Shuyan's parents.
Although she is only an adopted daughter, Li Shuyan's parents treat her very well and have always treated her as their own daughter, and she is also a sister with Li Shuyan.
Although I don't know who my parents are, she is happy, she has a good sister, an adoptive father and adoptive mother who loves her, and a little bad childhood sweetheart, at least, he was happy at that time.
However, when she was thirteen years old, everything changed, and her parents offended the childhood sweetheart who she had been bullying for some reason.
That day, she learned that the little boy who used to lie in her house all day turned out to be the legendary "Qin Jue".
Qin Jue, that's not a name, that's a title, a terrible title, a title that the entire Li family doesn't dare to offend.
offended Qin Jue, and her parents undoubtedly became outcasts and were abandoned by the Li family.
That day, she and Li Shuyan were tied up by Qin Jue and sent to the drunken forest.
On that day, many, many people in black rushed into the Drunken Forest to besiege Qin Jue, who was only fourteen years old at the time, and along with those men in black, there were also her parents.
On that rainy night, blood stained the green bamboos of the drunken forest, and the stream in front of the thatched hut, and everyone died.
Only she and Li Shuyan escaped by luck, although they escaped, but when they fled, Li Weiwei didn't know when she was poisoned.
She had never seen that kind of poison, and she didn't even know that Li Weiwei was poisoned.
Later, she had seen many doctors, and those doctors said that Li Weiwei was poisoned, but they recognized what kind of poison it was, let alone cured it.
At that time, she fell into despair for a while, and later, by chance, she learned about the "Qingshen Pill", an existence that can cure all poisons.
And the most important medicinal material for refining the Qingshen Pill is the heart of the poison king.
The Heart of the Poison King has never appeared a few times in the entire history of Chang'an City, and even if it does appear, it is impossible for her to afford it.
And there is a sixth-order poisonous presley king in the trial land of Qingyun Academy, and no one has ever successfully hunted it, which is a well-known thing.
That's why she infiltrated the Endless Forest to hunt the poisonous Elvis Presley.
With the passage of time, Li Shuyan's health is getting worse and worse, she doesn't know, how long can Li Shuyan last, a year, or a month?
She couldn't control that much anymore, even if it was to sacrifice everyone who participated in the trial, even if it was to send her to hell to repent, she would not hesitate to do so.
"Sister, I finally got the heart of the poison king, wait for me, I will go to the medicine valley to ask for medicine now. Xiao Man poured a glass of water for Li Shuyan, with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Xiao Man. It seems that because she saw the hope of living, Li Shuyan's face was a little ruddy, and her spirit was much better.
"Well, sister, you wait for me, I'll go first. With that, Xiao Man put away the heart of the poison king and walked out of the door.
After leaving the door, the smile on Xiao Man's face instantly dissipated, and turned into apprehension, worry, and finally a touch of determination.
Although she said that she was full of confidence, it was just what she comforted Li Shuyan.
Who is she? an outcast, an outcast.
Not to mention that she is just an outcast, even before she was abandoned, she was just a second lady of the Li family's branch, nothing more.
Why did she impress the medicine fairy in the medicine valley and let the medicine fairy help her refine the pill.
Is it possible?
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the medicine fairy is kind-hearted and moved by her sincerity, there must be a premise - she must see the medicine fairy.
In the entire Chang'an City, those who want to see the medicine fairy can line up from the east of the city to the west of the city, but how many people can see her?
Not to mention that she is an abandoned child, even the young master of her Li family's generation has no chance, or rather, no qualifications.
In this regard, she has no choice but to take one step at a time, and she doesn't want to use the last method until the last moment.
That was the only way she could think of it.
She was going to go to the front of the Medicine Valley to have a look, go there to try her luck, and see if she could have a chance to meet the Medicine Fairy, but it was the middle of the night, and she definitely couldn't go at this time.
At this point... At the gate of the Medicine Valley...
Standing at the door of the Medicine Valley, Qin Jue took a deep breath.
Although, she is a koto jue and represents the drunken forest, but his master, the head of the four peers of the previous generation, has already left the drunken forest and left the Izumo country.
The current drunken forest has no strength to compete with the medicine valley at all.
Although he is very strong, he is only a young generation, and in the face of the older generation of characters, he is still a few points behind after all.
But no matter what, he represents the drunken forest, and no one dares to snub him.
After all, the head of the four absolute groups of the previous generation is not dead, he is just gone, and no one knows if he will come back.
