Chapter 78: Speculating on the Origin
After listening to Xiao Bang's words, Shanhe frowned.
Yes, if Lu Guozhong was just a bad old man with extremely poor talent, then how could he know the high-level medicine extraction method? This sounds a bit contradictory.
Thinking of this, Shanhe realized that he might have thought wrong, so he asked:
"Little Bracelet, then what do you say he came from?"
"If you want me to say, Lu Guozhong's way of coming is probably not simple. ”
"How?"
"He should be a very important figure in the Liankui faction, but for some reason...... I had to flee the sect!" said Xiao Bang solemnly.
"Ahh
"I don't know why. But since he knows the high-level medicine extraction method, and he has an innate arrogance in his bones, it is enough to prove that Lu Guozhong is definitely not the kind of bad old man with extremely poor talent as you said. ”
Speaking of this, the little bracelet paused, habitually cleared her non-existent throat, and said:
"Ahem, besides, if I'm not mistaken, it's very likely that he has formed a big bond with the Liankui faction. In order to avoid the pursuit of the sect, he hid in a small hospital in the secular world!"
Upon hearing this, Shanhe was both surprised and confused, and did not understand why the little bracelet had such a judgment.
But soon, I heard Xiao Bang ask him about a past:
"Master, do you remember the exam question he gave you when you met Lu Guozhong for the first time?"
Hearing this, Shanhe was stunned for a moment. At the same time, my mind also flooded with memories of that day.
I remember that day, he came to the Chinese medicine department to report. As soon as he entered the room, the director gave himself a few exam questions. There are those who distinguish medicinal herbs, and there are those who combine prescriptions.
Except for the last "strange question", he answered all the other questions correctly.
It's been a long time since this happened, and I don't know why the bracelet suddenly mentioned it.
"Yes, that time. And what I want to talk about is Lu Guozhong's last strange question. The bracelet explains:
"At that time, he asked you to make a new prescription from the eight herbs that came into the recipe. And I secretly told you an answer, but you didn't tell him in the end. Do you remember this?"
"Of course I do! You later told me that the prescription was from your previous host's memories. However, at that time, I was afraid that the director would see through it, so I didn't dare to answer. ”
"Hmm. In the past few days, while you were practicing the method of extracting medicines, I finally found a clue from my memory! Actually, it was not an ordinary prescription at all, but a prescription unique to the Liankui faction! Although the effect was average and it was not a miracle medicine, almost no one knew about it except for the disciples of the Liankui faction. Therefore, looking back now, the last question Lu Guozhong asked should not be to test your ability, but to test whether you have anything to do with the Liankui faction!"
So far, Xiao Bracelet's mind has stored the memories of dozens of owners, and it is not easy to find some details from it.
Just like during that exam, after seeing the medicinal herbs, Xiao Bang only remembered the content of the prescription, but couldn't remember the source of the prescription.
It wasn't until a few days ago, due to the repeated mention of the Liankui faction in the conversation, that she inadvertently remembered the source of the prescription and told Shanhe.
Hearing this, Shanhe nodded as if he didn't understand, pondered for a moment before asking:
"You mean to say that the director is testing me?"
Hehe, it's good that you didn't say the answer I gave at the time, and you didn't behave unnaturally, otherwise Old Man Lu might really think of you as a member of the Lian Kui faction. ”
"Oh, then, why did he tempt me, then, so he was so good?"
Looking at the mountains and rivers, I still don't quite understand the truth, and the little bracelet explained more bluntly:
"Master, what do you think, since he came up with a question to test your relationship with the Liankui faction, it means that he has some scruples about the Liankui faction, and is worried that you are a member of the faction. In addition, this also shows from the side that even the Kui faction should be looking for him everywhere, otherwise he wouldn't need to be so cautious. Hehe, they must be hiding and looking for one, so I speculated that Lu Guozhong was the one who escaped from the mountain gate and is still wanted by the sect. ”
Listening to what Xiao Bang said was reasonable, Shanhe let out an enlightened "oh".
But swallowing such a large amount of information at one time is still a little difficult for Shanhe to digest, and he was about to sort out his thoughts, but he heard Xiao Lian speak again:
"Of course, there is an important argument for my conclusion!"
"And huh?"
Hearing this, Shanhe really admires the little bracelet!
Secretly sighed, this guy's mind is indeed much more meticulous than his own! So, he raised his head again and listened attentively.
"A traitor of the Liankui faction who knows how to extract high-level medicine, but he tried his best to learn healing techniques from you. Oh, master, don't you think this is a strange move?"
"Uh? That's okay. Isn't it also very important for me to learn the method of extraction?" Shanhe didn't quite understand the purpose of the bracelet.
"It's not the same! You both want to learn each other's techniques, but the price you pay is very different. For you, you're just making an ordinary deal, but for him, you're taking a very bold risk. ”
"Adventure?"
"That's right! In order to learn healing techniques, he exposed his old background to you! Hehe, this is not a trivial matter for a person who wants to avoid the pursuit of the sect!"
"Oh, that's right...... Hey, so why would he take the risk?"
"At first, I didn't understand the reasoning. But later, given his cautious attitude towards the Liankui faction, I guess he may have been severely injured by the masters of the faction and suffered from a stubborn illness. ”
As soon as he heard this, Shanhe immediately asked in surprise:
"What? You mean, the director, he has old injuries?"
"That's right, and it's an injury that can't be cured by the essence of the elixir. In order to heal his wounds, he took the risk of gambling with you, and painstakingly sought healing techniques. ”
Speaking of which, the little bracelet added:
"This also explains why he is old, but his cultivation is not as high as yours, and it is estimated that it is also caused by old injuries. ”
After listening to Xiao Bang's inference, Shanhe let out a long breath.
Although he was surprised, it was not difficult to see that he had believed most of it.
It's a pity that he can't verify these things from the director.
Because even if he asked, with Lu Guozhong's cautiousness, I am afraid it would be impossible to give an answer, but it would arouse the other party's vigilance.
So in the end, Shanhe can only bury these reasoning and questions in his heart.
......
The next day was Saturday, and Shanhe came to the hospital early in the morning.
As soon as I entered the door, I found Qin Xiaodou who was cleaning.
Seeing Shanhe's figure, Qin Xiaodou immediately threw down the mop in his hand and ran over, and a big smile appeared on his face.
She has been alone in the "empty room" for three days, and today someone can be regarded as coming to work!
