- Late autumn rain break, morning, deep in the sea of ink bamboo forest, foggy, quiet like a valley.

The medicine pavilion is located next to the secluded spring in the depths of the ink bamboo forest, because it is shrouded in the spiritual mist and water vapor diffused by the secluded spring all the year round, and the thick and warm water mist is like a natural barrier to block the changes in the solar terms of the outside world, so the place where the medicine pavilion is located, the climate and environment are like spring all year round.

As an important place for Tibetan medicine in the outer courtyard of Jingfu Academy, the medicine pavilion contains many treasures and exotic flowers and plants. In order to prevent the medicinal power of the treasure medicinal herbs from losing too quickly under the silence of the years, the building of the medicine pavilion is also very particular.

Different from the usual drug shelter, the medicine pavilion is not a traditional courtyard-style semi-open roof tile building, but a seven-story tower pavilion with decreasing scale from the bottom to the top. The main color of its appearance is the green tile and red eaves, which means "Nirvana and green pine", its lofty pavilion is majestic, the floors are high, the crescent-shaped spring is surrounded, and the whip-like knotted ink bamboo hangs down from between the walls. The open space in front of the pavilion is equipped with a three-foot-high blue-green bronze tripod, and looking back is a simple and depressing plaque, the handwriting on it is like an iron painting silver hook, and two big characters are carved into the wood - medicine pavilion.

At this time, in the medicine pavilion, in a room, Gu Anzheng's face was pale, his body was lying coldly on a bed, there were three figures beside him, one was reaching out to his pulse, his brows were frowning, and the other two figures were standing behind the former, one of the figures was slightly next to the figure was exercising his breath, and the other figure was indeed with tears in his eyes, and he was sad.

"Mmmmmm

(Miss Su Xi, don't worry, my old man is still very smart at this time.) ）

Liang Pang gestured towards Gu Suxi, who looked worried, but the mood between his eyebrows was not very optimistic.

"Hmm..." Gu Suxi snorted lowly, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, her eyes looked at the young man on the bed again, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and she couldn't help but ask again: "Master Qin...... Gu Anhe... What the hell is going on..."

"It's hard to say. ”

The person who took Gu An's pulse in front of the bed slowly withdrew his old right hand into his sleeve, he was dressed in a green shirt and plain robe, with three locks of long beard, his face was furrowed and horizontal under the washing of the years, and his gray hair was half tied on his back.

He pursed his lips at this time, and his serious doubts grew stronger, and he took out a roll of cloth brocade from the medicine box placed aside, and spread it horizontally on the edge of the bed, and on the cloth brocade about two feet long were arranged in an orderly manner with silver needles as thin as hair.

I saw that he cautiously took out a silver needle of about three inches from the cloth brocade, clamped it between his fingers, and a faint but tough clear qi climbed along his fingertips on the silver needle, and the faint white light began to slowly turn into a red light, swaying, like a candle flame.

Qin Shi's fingers loosened slightly, and the silver needle that was like a lamp burning trembled and floated in the air, he closed his eyes, pinched a law in his hand, and muttered a few words in his mouth as if dreaming, the silver needle wrapped in the red clear air suddenly inhaled the whole cloth of clear qi into the silver needle, and the snow-white silver needle suddenly became red like iron that had been forged to red in the next moment, and exuded a faint hot and dry air in the air.

"The five elements are reversed, and the fire is pull-up. ”

Qin Shi opened his eyes and said, "Go!"

The crimson needle swam and coiled in mid-air like a smart but unconscious fire snake, leaving behind lines of fire, and under the command of Master Qin, it flickered with a condensed light like the finishing touch, and it floated to Gu An's chest, like a ray of light, and fell straight towards Gu An's acupoint.

"Hmm!"

At the moment when half of the fire needles were submerged in Gu An's body, I saw Gu An's body suddenly tense, above his closed eyes, his long eyebrows were wrinkled, green tendons appeared on his face, the corners of his eyes jumped wildly, and dense beads of sweat instantly penetrated out from his forehead and sideburns, and a cold air suddenly floated out of his body.

"Brother!"

Seeing this, Gu Suxi's face suddenly turned pale, and she wanted to hurry forward, but she saw that Qin Shi next to the bed made a gesture towards her to signal her to be restless. She cares about Gu An, in this case, only Master Qin knows her physical condition best, and if she goes up by herself, she may be in vain. Thinking of this, Gu Suxi couldn't help but endure the anxiety in her heart, but there were faint tears in her eyes, and her hands were half-closed on her face, as if she was trying to choke her unstoppable sobs.

"Uh-huh. ”

(How's the boss, old man.) ）

Liang Pang walked to Qin Shi's side, gesturing with his hand, he couldn't speak, so asking at this time would not have any effect.

Qin Shi didn't look at Liang Pang either, he stroked his long beard with his hand, he was silent, his left eyebrow was slightly raised, the look of surprise in his eyes floated, his eyes sank slightly, and his gaze condensed again.

"It shouldn't be......"

"Master Qin, what's wrong with my brother?"

Gu Suxi saw that Qin Shi's face was a little wrong, and her heart couldn't help but hang.

But seeing that Master Qin's face was calm, he groaned softly, waved his hand, and withdrew the silver needle that emerged from Gu An's chest into the cloth brocade, and said slowly: "It's just a sign that the skill is a little retrograde, and a few acupoints in the chest are stasis, which causes the operation of the clear qi to be blocked, even if there is no old man to help, he can breathe by himself." ”

"Really?!"

The boulder in Gu Suxi's heart was finally put down at this moment, she breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped away the tears on her face with her jade fingers, and saw that after Qin Shi nodded at her, she smiled and saluted Qin Shi Yingying.

"It doesn't matter"

Qin Shi shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Gu An Xiaoyou and Liang Pang have a very good relationship, and they have also helped me a lot in the trivial matters of the Medicine Pavilion for several years. It is reasonable, the old man has no reason not to help, you are a relative and friend of Gu An Xiaoyou, and it is inevitable that you will not be worried. Liang Fat!" he snorted as he spoke.

"Hmm.."

Liang Pang scratched his head and walked in front of Master Qin, his heart trembled, thinking that the old man's tone was not a good thing, and sure enough, he heard Master Qin pull his ear and said slightly angrily: "When you are an old man, are my words a fart? How many times have I told you not to fool around with Gu Xiaozi! How many times do you want to stir up a storm with your three-legged cat's formation technique? Martial arts are not easy to cultivate! Formation skills are not good to study! Mixed up can't be mixed! If it weren't for your luck today, it would be you who is lying on the bed now, not Gu Xiaozi!"

"Babble...."

Liang Pang pinched the fingers of Qin Shi's ears with a painful face, the flesh on his face trembled with pain, he nodded desperately and frequently, and his look of "I know I was wrong" was really funny in the eyes of Gu Suxi, who broke into tears and laughed.

Qin Shi snorted, and only then did he let go of his fingers like iron tongs, he glared at Liang Pang, and when he saw that Liang Pang was about to shrink into the corner, he said slowly: "Although Gu Xiaozi is only a slight retrograde skill, if you don't send it in time, I'm afraid he will also suffer a lot of injuries." Liang Fat, you take Miss Gu to the hall to rest first, I want to use a medicinal bath to turn the qi in his body back to the original qi veins, and he is not allowed to enter without my orders. ”

"Master Qin, can I help?"

When Gu Suxi heard this, her heart tightened again, and she couldn't help but speak.

"Huh?" Master Qin glanced at him and wondered, "Do you know how to heal?"

Gu Suxi was stunned, and said in frustration: "I, I... Won't ......"

"Then what are you staying for?" Qin Shi's puzzlement intensified.

"I ....." Gu Suxi was stunned for a moment, looking at Qin Shi and Liang Fat looking at her suspiciously, she couldn't help but feel a little hot on her face, she tried her best to endure the shame in her heart, her voice became as thin as a fly, and she hurriedly made another salute, and stammered: "That... Then please ask Master Qin to work hard, Su. Su Xi is grateful..."After that, he didn't wait for Liang Pang to lead the way, and ran out of the room as if he was running away.

"Huh?"

Liang Pang looked at Master Qin with a puzzled expression, scratching his head, not knowing why.

"Think about it... I miss you big ghost!" Master Qin blew his beard and glared, and scolded angrily: "If you have the heart to think about these miscellaneous things, why don't you hurry up and study the formation technique! Picking up a piece of barbecued pork is better than picking you up! I can only eat and eat, get out quickly! lest that little girl run to the wrong place!"

Liang Pang saw that his old man was about to beat someone again, so he fled from this place of right and wrong with his head in his arms, and at first glance, he was afraid that he was running faster than a mad dog.

"Stinky boy......!"

Qin Shi sighed, turned around and returned to the bed, he looked at Gu An, who was still sleeping, the essence in his eyes moved slightly, I saw him stretch out his hand, and the rich fire spirit qi gathered between his fingers, and then connected a few big points on Gu An's chest, and then turned into a sword finger, like a fishing rod fishing, slowly attracting something from his chest, after a while, he suddenly lifted up, Gu An's face like gold paper suddenly became ruddy, after a few breaths, Gu An's eyes suddenly opened, he instantly half sat up, opened his mouth and spit out of the bed.

"Poof..."

A mouthful of thick black blood spurted out of his mouth like an arrow, and there were some small blue particles in it, slowly emitting a cold aura in the black blood.

"You're a big deal. ”

Hearing an old voice, Gu An found that the blood he spurted did not fall on the ground, but was caught by a copper basin, his blurred vision gradually became clear, and he looked up with his hand on the edge of the bed, and the familiar face of the old man came into his eyes.

"Thank you... Master Qin..."

"Don't thank me. Qin Shi put the copper basin aside, the fire in his hand fell, and the black blood suddenly turned into nothing, and he said lightly: "It's your own life." ”

He walked back to Gu An's bedside, glanced at Gu An with a slight frown between his eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what your current physical condition is?"

Gu An was stunned, and immediately shook his head, his face did not show any different color, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. He only remembered that last night Wei Fengyu and the mysterious man used his body as a battlefield to fight, he could only try his best to keep his will immortal, for his own body, he had long lost control, he didn't know what happened in the outside world after he fell unconscious, and all kinds of strangeness in his body, at this moment, can not be easily revealed to outsiders, even if he is familiar with people.

"I just checked your pulse, and found that your pulse is like snow falling in a deep valley, imperceptible, although it is as thin as a gossamer, but there is a domineering but endless power to help you withstand the cold and death in your heart. ”

Qin Shi raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Gu An, and after a long time, said calmly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already stepped into the threshold of the second realm with half a foot......"

And then Qin Shi's abruptly lowered tone made Gu An stunned.

"Yes...... Your time is numbered..."
