36. Fake face, fake smile, false meaning, sincerity, true affection, true kindness.
It has been more than a month since they left the Righteous Heroes Villa, and apart from the delay of a few days in Golden Town, the five of them have been walking in the deserted suburbs that are inaccessible, and they can't find any next target!
Seeing that Zhongnan Mountain was not far away, Xianzhen wanted to go back and have a look. First, it has indeed been a long time since he left the division, for fear that the teachers will worry. Second, Zhongnan Mountain is a Taoist holy land, in addition to superb martial arts, he is also quite involved in miscellaneous studies such as medicine and astrology, and may be able to find a way to heal Banqin.
Anyway, there is no need to do it, so it is not bad to visit the famous mountains anyway.
The five of them went up the mountain all the way, Xianzhen grew up in the Quanzhen Sect since he was a child, and he also traveled all over the world in his life, and for Banqin, it didn't make much difference no matter where he was. As for Yang Chen and Xuelu, they rarely go out in their lives, although Huashan, which has grown up since childhood, is also a famous spot, but at this time, I saw Zhong Lingyuxiu in Zhongnan Mountain, which is wonderful and wonderful, although it is quite different from Huashan, it is definitely not inferior!
Back in the Quanzhen Sect, Xianzhen's popularity also looks good, and a large group of fellow disciples of the same age have gathered around him to ask long and short questions. After a while, there were three old Taoist priests with clear faces who came out of it, presumably the famous martial arts Quanzhen Sanping, the head of Pingsong, and the junior brother Ping Bai and Ping Shan!
Seeing the master, Xianzhen hurriedly stepped forward to see him, and the other three also saluted very respectfully, but Banqin was still alone, indifferent to everything that happened in front of him!
Ping Song, as the head of the Quanzhen Sect, is also quite prestigious in today's martial arts. He is broad-minded and kind to people, and he is very pleased to see his apprentices and several rising stars who have recently become famous in the martial arts!
"You don't have to be polite! Although Poor Dao has rarely set foot in martial arts, he has also had several relationships with the Lord of the Snow Alliance. Recently, I have heard that although I am young, I have repeatedly defeated the masters of the Western Regions Demon Palace, and I really admire it in my heart!"
"The Taoist has a good reputation, and the juniors are really ashamed to be ......!"
Smiling slightly, Ping Song naturally looked at the independent half-qin by the door, Yang Chen hurriedly walked over and pulled him back: "Dao Chief, this is ......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ping Song smiled and said: "This must be the Banqin young man who defeated the Second Saint of the Demon Palace and the Lord of the Eight Formations, and he is indeed a hero and a young man!
It is said that he has been praised by his predecessors, and it is also a basic politeness for Banqin to at least thank him! But he always had a weak face, and he didn't even look at Ping Song, which made everyone quite embarrassed!
Xianzhen had no choice but to explain: "Master, Banqin grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he didn't know anything about the world when he first came out ......of the rivers and lakes."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ping Song smiled and shook his head: "Xianzhen! Is being a teacher a worldly person in your eyes? Not to mention that if it is ordinary, how can you have high hopes for the Lord of the Snow Alliance?"
Xianzhen was stunned when he heard this! The matter of the Demon Palace's disturbance of the Righteous Heroes Villa before the dark box must have spread all over the martial arts now, and that Banqin is naturally no longer an unfamiliar name, and his strange temper must have been exaggerated long ago in this world where rumors and rumors are most prevalent!
At that moment, Ping Song instructed his disciples to prepare guest rooms for several people.
After listening to the disciple's intentions, Ping Song looked at Banqin: "Banqin Gongzi! Poor Dao has been lazy in miscellaneous studies all his life, and his martial arts are really shallow, but Yu Yidao is still a little confident! I wonder if I can allow Poor Dao to examine Gongzi?"
Banqin stretched out his right hand expressionlessly, put his three fingers on his wrist, closed and concentrated, the expression on his face changed for a while, and he didn't say anything for a long time!
Everyone looked anxious, but they didn't dare to disturb. I can only hope that this Taoist celebrity can really cure Banqin, but ......
After a long time, Ping Song slowly opened his eyes, looked at his withdrawn hand, and sighed softly: "Hey! Poor Dao has studied medical skills for decades and read countless classics, but symptoms like Gongzi's are unheard of and unseen!"
Although everyone was not unexpected, they couldn't help but feel lost when they really heard him say this!
After thinking about it, Xianzhen asked in a deep voice, "Master, even if you can't think of how to heal him for a while, can you see that he is poisonous?"
"Poisoned ......?"
Stunned, Ping Song frowned slightly: "It's not bad to say that Gongzi is poisoned, but this poison is connected to the heart and veins, and it flows through the whole body and merges with qi and blood, I'm afraid it is not caused by accident......!
Hearing his words, it was obvious that there was a way to detoxify, and Yang Chen couldn't help but frown: "Dao Chang can really detoxify this poison?"
Shaking his head slightly, Ping Song sighed softly: "The poison in the child's body is innate, and it must be carried by the mother." Moreover, there seems to be a strange poison in southern Xinjiang, which has never been discovered in the Central Plains, and it must be because of this that the master of the Snow Alliance does not know it! And although this poison itself is highly toxic, it is not fatal, but it will form a drug addiction and it is extremely difficult to get rid of. It's just that Childe has deep internal strength and is innate, so he is not addicted!"
Yang Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Could it be that the people in the Demon Palace deliberately deceived us?"
First of all, Poor Dao also said that this poison is only a kind of poison in Childe's body, as for how Poor Dao is still difficult to figure out for a while! It's just that Poor Dao took the pulse of Childe, and found that Childe's appearance was really weird, far slower than ordinary people, which naturally shows that Childe's internal strength is profound, but more importantly, the flow of qi and blood in Childe's body is very slow, but it will change with his mood. And the poison in you just happens to be in line with the flow of your qi and blood, so you will not suddenly burst out of your qi and blood and die! In other words, although you are poisonous, the poison is in your life! If you lose the medicinal properties, I am afraid that you will ...... instead."
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this! Xianzhen frowned and asked, "Master means that Banqin didn't die because of the explosion of qi and blood, is it because he has poison in his body?" But according to Yin Yaoji of the Demon Palace, the toxicity in his body will cause him to explode with qi and blood, right?"
"If that's the case, I think it's probably because the purpose of the toxicity in his body is to curb the qi and blood that will explode! If the medicinal properties and his skills can be balanced, he may be able to be unharmed for the time being, but Poor Dao feels that the toxicity in Gongzi's body is decreasing, and once the toxicity is lifted, he will lose his restraint and inevitably his internal breath will skyrocket. And this toxicity will be connected to people's moods, if Childe can always keep his heart and not be alarmed, he must be able to keep safe for the time being. But the son is a man of temperament, and he has a lot of thoughts in his heart, and I am afraid that it will be ...... in the long run."
Listening to Ping Song say that Banqin is a person of temperament, except for Yang Chen and Xianzhen, everyone can't help but be surprised. Even if Banqin himself, on his wood-carved face, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching!
At this time, Xuelu groaned slightly: "If my guess is correct, according to what Yin Yaoji said that day, they are born with super potential in their bodies. And this potential seems to be related to toxicity. Because they have practiced the martial arts of the Demon Palace since childhood, the toxicity will accelerate the onset, but there is a way to contain it in the Demon Palace. But Banqin has never practiced the martial arts of the Demon Palace, so he hasn't been poisoned for the time being, but he can ......"
At this time, everyone understood that although the Demon Palace was constantly injecting toxins into Yin Yaoji and the others, it would help improve their strength, and there was a way to curb the development of toxicity. But although Banqin is not poisonous for the time being, there is no way to save the poison in the body once it occurs!
After a while, Ping Song sighed softly: "Hey! Banqin Gongzi, please let the poor Dao Jin! Born as a human being, the most rare thing is not that people think that they are righteous and selfless, but that they are truly ruthless and unrighteous, and have no desires and desires! Once the love is too deep, even if it is not poisonous, it is inevitable to mislead others and oneself!"
Lowering his eyelids slightly, Banqin looked out the window at the floating clouds: "The wind is impermanent, and the clouds are impermanent." But the clouds move with the wind, and the wind helps the clouds to go. But if there is no wind, the clouds will be helpless! If there are no clouds, the wind will inevitably be lonely, right......?"
Ping Song couldn't help but show sadness and pity on his face when he listened!
Yang Chen pondered and asked: "According to the Dao Chief, the poison in the body of the half-qin should come from Southern Xinjiang, can the Dao Chief tell us where to find it?"
"Do you want to go to that poisonous weed to cure Childe?"
"Exactly!"
Shaking his head with a bitter sigh, Ping Song said sadly: "It's useless! This grass is ordinary in southern Xinjiang, it can be said to be everywhere, but its medicinal properties are peculiar, from the rhizome, to the leaf veins, and the stamens are all different. Moreover, there are various ways to refine and configure. Unless the person who poisoned it, even if others can get it, they can't do it. If there is a slight mistake, I am afraid it will backfire!"
Everyone was full of sorrow at this time, and the little hope that had risen was once again in vain!
In a moment, Ping Songzhen took a small wooden box from the bookcase and opened it to reveal two bright red pills!
"Childe, these two pills of Pure Heart Pill are newly practiced by the poor Dao, since Childe's symptoms are connected to the heart veins, this medicine has the ability to calm the mind and calm the qi, and it must be of some help. Today, Poor Dao sent this medicine to Son, hoping to at least relieve Son's pain a little......"
Banqin looked at the elixir, then looked at Ping Song, and immediately thanked him and accepted it, but still didn't have much reaction! This is not to say that Banqin didn't know what to do, and was indifferent to the kindness of others! It's just that he was well aware of his current situation, and any way to prolong his life a little was worth trying. But anything that may involve too many worldly human feelings, he must try to avoid it.
Just like Ping Song himself said, any emotional reaction can become Banqin's fatal wound! Therefore, he must do his best not to affect the thoughts or emotions in his heart! Therefore, he can only discard all feelings outside of perception, and if he can do what he can do, the people who have helped him will naturally be rewarded! However, although he does not know much about his own situation, Ping Song's mention does make him understand some things......
That night, Ping Song was alone with his disciples, listening to him tell about his experience and encounter after coming down the mountain. Hearing Yin Yaoji's warning, Ping Song couldn't help but feel sad and angry in his heart!
"The Western Regions Demon Palace has invaded the Central Plains Martial Arts in the past, and every time it will cause a huge disaster. And their methods are cruel and evil, and they have always been outrageous. But I never imagined that there would be someone in the world who could do such an act that annihilated the conscience of heaven and was inferior to beasts, and really lived up to the name of the Demon Palace!"
Xianzhen smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes! But no matter how evil the Demon Palace is, Banqin is really pitiful! As the master said, although he is indifferent on the outside and ignorant of the world, he is mostly because of the claustrophobic nature of Xue Lao! But he is innocent and kind by nature, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but he is not good at expressing it! Just like he wants to leave the Yixia Villa, firstly, he does not want to affect others because of himself, and secondly, he also wants to eliminate the threat for Xue Lao. Xue Lao knows this very well in his heart, but he is also a person who does not express emotions easily. Moreover, in the Golden Town before, he accidentally touched the poisonous hair because of his righteous indignation at the bandits' harmful acts. But in the end, the first time he took out the Shura Good and Evil Sticker in order to save people, it was actually equivalent to leading the White Tiger Gang's goal of revenge in the future to himself!"
Ping Song smiled and nodded: "So although you wanted to try to kill him in order to avoid future troubles, you never really did it?"
Xianzhen looked at the master in amazement, and nodded with a wry smile at random: "I really can't hide anything from the master......! Indeed! At first, I heard that he was ruthless, and the disciple really didn't think that he was just trying to eliminate evil! But when he knew that he was a disciple of Xue Lao, he didn't think it was strange. But when I found out that he would really suddenly lose his mind and become cruel and murderous, the disciple had only one thought at that time, since Xue Lao had been raising him for twenty years and could not heal him, there was only one way to kill him. So I started to get close to him, just looking for an opportunity to do it. But over the past few days, I feel that my previous faith has become more and more shaken......!
"And you think that he actually knew your mind for a long time, but not only did he never guard against you, but he also never made a move to attack you first, so you are even more ruthless?"
Although he never said what was in his heart, he was actually really kind! And he knew that Xue Lao had high hopes for Yang Chen, and he also instructed him in his martial arts at the right time without a trace along the way. Even if it was decided a long time ago, it was stopped because of Yang Chen's dissuasion. In addition to Xue Lao's friendship, there is also the kindness in his nature!"
Ping Song let out a long sigh as he listened! Although it was only the first time he saw it, he also felt very sorry for the heavy burden that Banqin had borne physically and mentally!
"This person is indeed pure by nature, and his qualifications are extremely high, no wonder Elder Xue will not hesitate to cultivate him! For the sake of their own evil diseases, they dare not be too close to others, even if they are not riddled with evil diseases in the long run, how can a good person bear it?"
"Master, is it true that his illness cannot be cured......?"
After pondering for a long time, Ping Song shook his head lightly: "I really can't do anything, but the two Pure Heart Pills I gave him can save his life within a year! That is, as soon as he starts taking it, it will ...... after a year"
Hyun-jung was amazed when she heard this, but after thinking about it, no one knew when Hanqin's illness would occur, but it would definitely happen, and there were already signs. Now, although the Pure Heart Pill may cause him to have an early attack, since there is a time limit, it can also make people feel a little at ease.
At this point, Hyun-jeong secretly decided that if he couldn't cure Banqin within a year, he might only be able to kill him. Even if he can't get anyone's understanding, he firmly believes that it must be the result that Hanqin himself wants!
