41. The heart is long, and life also meets.
Seeing the strong enemy retreating, the nuns who had been on guard before were all slightly relieved. The eldest nun reversed her long sword and arched her hand: "Thank you for your help, the poor nun Xiaoyuan is grateful to the people on behalf of this temple!"
The four of them hurriedly returned the salute, and Xue Lu said humbly: "The teacher is too serious! Seeing that the road is uneven is my generation's duty, how can I thank you! It's just that why did the people from the Western Regions Demon Palace suddenly come here?"
Xiao Yuan sighed softly when he heard this, and immediately instructed his fellow disciples to lead the people up the mountain, and then ordered the guards to guard the mountain road, and personally led the four people behind the palace to slow down and tell what happened.
Since a few months ago, a plague broke out in the villages near Beacon Hill, and many people died. And there is a Guanyin Temple on this mountain, and Xiaoyuan is the abbot. After knowing what happened, Xiaoyuan took the disciples and the medicine in the temple down the mountain to treat the sick everywhere. But when she found out that her medicine was of little use against the plague, she couldn't help but feel sad!
At that time, Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered a hidden divine doctor in the mountains, who rarely went out, so not many people knew about him. The Tibetan medicine in Xiaoyuan Temple was originally given by the divine doctor.
So, Xiaoyuan immediately went to visit the divine doctor and told him about the plague. When the doctor heard this, he immediately followed her to the stricken village to examine the sick. As a result, the plague was not a natural disaster, but a human poison.
However, if there is no empirical evidence to say this kind of thing, it can only cause panic in the people's hearts, and the officials in southern Xinjiang will not care about the people's feelings, and rashly saying it can only anger the wicked and make things worse.
So the divine doctor began to study, and during this period, he also went out to collect medicine, and finally made an elixir after coming back, saving many people. Gradually, patients from farther and farther heard about it, and they came to seek medical treatment one after another, until a group of people suddenly came not long ago. It was the one who led the fire and named the miracle doctor who cured the plague!
Since it is true that the plague is believed, these people are tantamount to not confessing to themselves. But if there is no evidence, it is difficult to accuse, and what can be done if the accusation is made? Xiaoyuan had to take the nuns in the temple to deal with the other party, and Lihuo came to harass him almost every day, and it was thanks to Xiaoyuan who led the nuns to guard desperately to support it to this day.
And the four of them sighed in their hearts when they heard it, because of course they knew that although Lihuo was also very good, even if it was Yin Yaoji or Yu Mohan once these days, these nuns would have already gone to see the Bodhisattva!
However, the plague caused by the Demon Palace here is obviously not just idle and boring, and it is conceivable that the abbot of Lihuo here is afraid of being blamed because he is only a group of nuns but cannot succeed, so he is afraid of being blamed.
But now that I see the four of myself, I'm afraid that Lihuo will definitely return back this time. In other words, it won't be long before more powerful people appear, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that only the four of them may not be able to resist.
The temple is not big, but it is already crowded with sick people inside and out. In addition to the nuns who were carrying water and medicine everywhere, an elderly man who appeared to be in his 60s was sitting in the middle of the temple to take the pulse of the patients seeking medical treatment, and a young girl under the age of 20 was acupuncture for the patients.
Xiao Yuan looked at the four of them apologetically, and they all understood that she was sorry for the chaos here and the inability to entertain!
Xuelu smiled slightly: "Mrs. Shi doesn't have to mind, of course saving people is more important! If there is anything we can help, please Mrs. Shi just say." Xiaoyuan smiled and thanked him, and immediately led the four of them to the guest house behind the temple.
From the afternoon to the evening, there is always the sound of busyness outside. The four of them didn't know anything about medicine, and they couldn't help even if they wanted to, so they could only wait patiently.
Finally, the door opened, and Xiaoyuan walked in first, followed by an old man and a young man.
"Doctor Luo, Miss Luo, it is these four who helped to repel the thief! Four, this is Doctor Luo, and this is the daughter of Doctor Luoshen!"
The four of them immediately got up to salute, and the old man twisted his beard and smiled: "Thank you four for your help, old man Luo Hao, little girl Siru!
Xianzhen smiled slightly: "The divine doctor is too humble! He can treat so many people, and the divine doctor's medical skills and kindness are enough to make us admire! We are only doing a little work, how dare we be a divine doctor!"
Luo Hao smiled with satisfaction, and Xiaoyuan immediately invited everyone to sit down!
After a while, Luo Hao asked in a deep voice: "Listening to Master Xiaoyuan, the four of you seem to know those traitors?"
The four of them sighed together, and Yang Chen's face was sad: "Don't hide it from the divine doctor!" Those thieves are masters of the Western Regions Demon Palace, and they are ambitious for the Central Plains martial arts, and they have already done evil things, and the next brother is ......."
Luo Hao frowned when he listened: "I still wonder who can cast such a vicious plague, it is actually the Demon Palace, no wonder......"
Xue Lu listened to the strange question and asked, "Could it be that the divine doctor also knows about the Demon Palace?"
Luo Hao's face was painful: "Hmph! Those inhumane guys do bad things, when the old man was young, he practiced medicine in all directions, and he heard that they tried people, and I don't know how many innocent people died." Moreover, the inner man died because of the Demon Palace, leaving only the old husband and daughter to rely on each other!"
Hearing this, Yidao couldn't help but slap the table angrily: "Bastard! I shouldn't have let them go just now!"
"With so many people here, if we fight, I am afraid that we will inevitably hurt the innocent, how can we act rashly? Besides, ......"
Seeing that Xianzhen wanted to speak and stopped, Luo Hao asked in a deep voice: "I heard that the four are from the Righteous Heroes Villa, I don't know why they came to Southern Xinjiang?"
The four of them glanced at each other, and Xue Lu said slowly: "It's not a secret! The people in the Demon Palace have been lurking in the Central Plains for a long time, and I was ordered to come out to investigate." And not long ago, I stumbled upon this jade pendant, this is a family heirloom of the Xue family, and I heard that the person who held this jade said that it was obtained here, so I came to visit!"
Seeing her take out the jade pendant, Luo Siru suddenly let out a low breath! The four of them were stunned, and Luo Siru hurriedly approached to take a closer look: "Where did this jade pendant sister come from?"
"The girl knows this jade pendant?"
"This jade pendant was lost by the little sister not long ago, when the little sister was treating the patient with her father, and the jade pendant was lost when she found it. It's just that there were too many patients at that time, and I really didn't have time to look for them!"
The four of them were very surprised when they heard this, and Xuelu asked in a deep voice, "That girl, where did you get this jade pendant?"
"This ......"
Seeing that her face was flushed, Luo Hao smiled slightly: "Actually, there is nothing to be told about, the old man went out to collect medicine a month ago and accidentally saved a seriously injured young man." He was seriously injured at the time, and the little girl took good care of him. The young man was also generous, and he said that he was grateful for giving the little girl this jade pendant! I am ashamed to say that the old man and his daughter are greedy for money! But when the young man was concerned, we were disrespectful. But since this jade is so precious, it's really inconvenient for us to keep it for ourselves......"
The four of them looked at each other when they heard this, and Xue Lu muttered: "No matter how precious the jade pendant is, it is something outside the body! Besides, thanking for saving my life is even more insignificant! It's just that the divine doctor can lead me to meet that young man, maybe he is really our acquaintance!"
Luo Hao's face was embarrassed when he heard this: "Don't hide it from a few! This young man is delicate and elegant, but his temperament is very withdrawn, and it is very rare to say a word on weekdays." For the rest of the month, we still don't know what his name is, or where he came from. So ......"
Yang Chen asked in a trembling voice, "May I ask the divine doctor, what kind of appearance does this person ......have?"
Luo Hao pondered for a moment: "It seems that he is not very old, at most he is twenty years old......!
The four of them couldn't help but bounce together when they heard this, and they were all very excited when they looked at each other!
Luo Hao and the three looked at each other in surprise: "Could it be that the four of them really know him?"
"Yes, he is our lost brother, and we have come down to find him, please ask the doctor to take us to meet him!"
Luo Hao pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Okay then! It's just that he is at the old man Zuofeng's house at this time, and it will take at least an hour to go." It's getting late now, so it's better to ......."
Yang Chen couldn't care about the morning or evening at all now: "Divine doctor, please take us there! We have been looking for him for the past two months, for fear of ......"
Seeing that several people were sincere and eager, Luo Siru said softly: "Dad, why don't I take the four of you on a trip, you are tired for a day, you have to be diagnosed tomorrow, and you have a good rest tonight!"
Luo Hao nodded when he heard this, and instructed "Be careful." At that moment, the four of them followed Luo Siru out of Guanyin Temple and walked all the way to Zuofeng.
The four people on the road were full of anxiety, looking forward to what they expected, but they were also worried that the sky would not fulfill people's wishes!
After a while, Luo Siru asked with a sad face: "May I ask the four......! Did he experience something very sad?"
The four of them looked at each other in astonishment, and Xuelu asked in a deep voice, "Sister Siru, why do you ask that?"
"I just think that although he is seriously injured, there seems to be something bigger in his heart, so he can't let go, so he looks cold!"
"It may just be because we went out on an important business this time, but he was injured and separated from us halfway, so we can't rest assured!"
Luo Siru lowered her head slightly, frowned and shook her head: "No! I can feel that he has a lot of troubles in his heart! But it has nothing to do with other things in the outside world, just because he is sad! Even I think that he is not happy that his father saved him, I am afraid that he wants to die even more......"
The four looked at each other sadly, speechless for a while.
Xuelu looked at Luo Siru's reddened face full of Yousi and asked, "You...... Loves him, huh?"
Luo Siru trembled when she heard this, and nodded shyly for a while: "But I can feel that there is another person in his heart who can't let go." But he was hesitant, as if he wanted to see the man, but for some reason he didn't dare to look for ......"
Xuelu frowned and looked at Yang Chen, looking at each other, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart! And there is nothing to continue on this topic, and the Alien Dao and Xianzhen are even more confused!
Following Luo Siru all the way up the mountain, I saw a thatched house in the distance, and there were many dried herbs and tools lined up in the courtyard.
And under the moonlight, there was an extremely lonely and lonely figure sitting on the ground outside the door!
