Chapter Ninety-Five: Apprenticeship to the Medicine King

The Medicine King took Yi Dan and the others down the mountain to the riverbank, but there was no trace of Xin Le and the others on the banks of the river.

"Zitra... Citra"

"Brother Hatred... Big Brother of Hatred"

Everyone looked into the river and shouted desperately, but there was no trace of the two.

"Where did the two of them go?"

"No, my junior sister is so good at water, there shouldn't be anything wrong. The river is fast, maybe they have been washed down, let's go a little downstream, right?" Zhao Cheng proposed.

"Alright, let's go downstream and look for it, I hope they're all right. With that, Yi Dan took the lead and looked downstream along the river.

After a while, everyone came to the fire that Zhi Qiu and Xin Le had just burned by the river. Yi Dan hurriedly ran forward, pointed to the fire and said, "Medicine King, look, there is a fire here, and it's still hot." Maybe it's the two of them who left it, I think they should be nearby, let's look for it here. ”

The medicine king stepped forward and took a look: "Well, that's right, maybe it's the fire they made, please hurry up and help find it." ”

At this time, the aunt Zhang came to the river with a basin again, and happened to meet the people of the medicine king.

When Aunt Zhang saw the Medicine King, her eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Shenlong Medicine King, is it really you?

The medicine king stepped forward, rubbed his eyes, and after taking a closer look, he suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Aunt Zhang, I don't know if you have seen my apprentice..."

Before the medicine king finished speaking, the aunt continued: "Ah, what kind of wind is blowing today? Just now Miss Xinle and a young man came to me, but I didn't expect you to come down the mountain as well, it's really good." ”

"Really, Auntie, are you saying Miss Xinle is at your house?" Yi Dan hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Miss Xinle and that ugly-looking young man seem to have fallen into the river," Aunt Zhang said here, and Zhiqiu's mother interjected and asked, "That's right." It must be my son, are they hurt?"

"Oh, not really, but they were soaking wet, and I let them go to my house to change their clothes on this cold day. Medicine King, are you here to find them?" asked the aunt.

"Yes, Auntie, great, we are here to find them, please trouble Auntie to help me lead the way to your house. Okay?" asked Yi Dan.

"Okay, of course, you all come with me. Aunt Zhang said.

"Then it's troublesome Aunt Zhang," the Medicine King said politely.

"What are these words? Medicine King, you healed my leg, I can now run, jump, and work, I can't thank you too late, why do you say thank you to me? I'm ashamed to say that. Aunt Zhang said.

"You're welcome, these are all things that an old man should do. I'll take care of you to lead the way. The Medicine King said.

"Well, that's it, everyone, please," Aunt Zhang took her clothes and took everyone back.

At this time, Zhi Qiu and Xin Le were still roasting the fire in Aunt Zhang's house, and they both looked at each other gently.

Suddenly. Hearing a large crowd of people noisily breaking in, the two immediately separated.

"Xinle, so you are really here, how are you? Are you all right? Are you hurt? Let Master take a look. "After the medicine king entered the house. Hurriedly took Citra's hand and asked.

"Master, you're all here, we're all fine. It's just that I'm soaking wet. There were no injuries. Citra said happily.

"It's great that you're okay, if not, I'll have to leave this old bone with you. The Medicine King took Citra's hand and said.

"Master, don't worry. Brother Jing and I are fine. Citamine said.

"Yaotian, are you okay? Zhiqiu's mother took his hand and looked at it carefully, tears streaming down her face.

"Mother, I'm fine, don't worry. I will never be so stupid again, I want to cherish myself well, and I will take care of you for the rest of my life. Zhi Qiu took his mother's hand and said.

"Well, well, that's my good son," said the mother.

Xin Le looked at the master, and then at the eyes of Zhi Qiu, and didn't know how to speak. At this time, the medicine king knelt down in front of Zhi Qiu with a thud, Shanwen and Zhao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to help the medicine king up, and the medicine king shouted: "You two also kneel down for me, kneel down quickly"

The two had no choice but to kneel down at the order.

"Jing Shaoxia, what the two apprentices of the old man have done, all because the old man has no restraints, everything is borne by the old man alone, please don't blame them. The old man once owed your father a life, and also lost money to many innocent souls who died in my hands, and today the old man will make a decision in front of you. With that, the Medicine King raised his right hand and wanted to slap his eyebrows.

"Master, don't" Xin Le grabbed the medicine king's hand and cried and said, "Master, Brother Jing has forgiven you, he has forgiven you, you can't do this, Master..."

"Yes, King Yao, you must not be like this, the people of Wuyi Mountain need you. Yi Dan also hurriedly walked to the front of the mountain and persuaded him.

"Don't stop the old man, all this fault is caused by the old man alone, let the old man die and repay all the debts. With that, he snatched the sword out of Yi Dan's hand with his left hand, and wanted to put it on his neck to kill himself. At this time, Zhi Qiu, who was quick in his eyes, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the blade with his bare hands, and his hand was also cut bloody by the sharp blade.

"Jing Shaoxia, what are you doing? You just let me die, thank the world. The Medicine King shouted.

Zhi Qiu looked into the eyes of the Medicine King and said, "If everyone who makes a mistake breaks off on their own, wouldn't there be no one in the world for a long time? ”

Zhi Qiu's sudden move, as well as the bloody hand that grabbed the blade of the sword, really shocked Xinle, and also shocked everyone, including Yi Dan. Seeing this, Xinle has already cried into a tearful person, and I don't know what to do.

"Yu Shaoxia, the old man said that he would give you a satisfactory explanation, and now the old man has decided himself in front of you, please don't stop the old man. "The Medicine King tried to drag the sword, but Zhiqiu pinched it even tighter, just didn't give it.

"Could it be that the old man wants to die, and you won't let him?" asked the medicine king Xiang Zhiqiu.

"No," Zhi Qiu and the medicine king were in a stalemate.

"Medicine King, Medicine King senior, you see that Brother Zhiqiu has forgiven you. Please don't torture yourself like this anymore, okay?Brother Zhiqiu's hands are still bleeding, don't you want to do this?" Yi Dan shouted.

"Yes, Master, I beg you, don't torture me like this," Xin Le cried, feeling sorry for his hateful hand, but also afraid that if he let go, Master would commit suicide. She was both happy and scared in her heart, happy that Zhi Qiu did this, and he must have forgiven the Medicine King on his behalf. What is feared is the unpredictable ending. She hugged the Medicine King's right hand tightly and looked at the Medicine King's face with a cry.

"Jing Shaoxia. The old man thanked you for your kindness, but the old man himself couldn't forgive me, since you didn't let me use the sword, that's good..."

Zhi Qiu was also a little timid, and he didn't know what the Medicine King wanted to do. At this time, Xinle shouted loudly: "It's not good, Master wants to cut off his heart." Hurry, I can't let him do it. ”

At this time, Yi Dan, who was standing next to the Medicine King, heard Xinle's words. Quickly used the index finger and middle finger of his right hand to tap the Zhangmen acupuncture point on the waist of the medicine king. The Medicine King was poked by Yi Dan's powerful finger force at the acupuncture point under the soft underbelly, and he was immediately deflated, let go of the sword in his hand, and fell to the ground.

"Master. Master, how are you?" Xin Le hurriedly helped the Medicine King up.

"I'm sorry for the medicine king, I was forced to offend me. Are you alright?" Yi Dan asked quickly.

"The old man is bent on death. Why are you trying to stop it?" asked the Medicine King.

"Master, Master, I don't allow you to do this, I beg you...", Xin Le turned around and wanted to take revenge and said: "Brother Jing, Brother Jing begs you, you persuade my master and him, now only you can persuade him." ”

"If I remember correctly, you once said that your life is mine, and I will be at my disposal in the future, right?"

"That's right, that's what the old man said. If Jing Shaoxia wants to do it himself, then please come. With that, the Medicine King closed his eyes and waited for the hair to fall.

Zhi Qiu shook off the blood on his hands and said, "Since your life is at my disposal, then everything must be up to me." Now I've changed my mind and won't let you die. I will keep you alive to atone for your sins. Zhi Qiu said.

"Live to atone for your sins, Jing Shaoxia, what do you mean?" asked the Medicine King, opening his eyes.

"That's right, live to atone for your sins. I don't want you to die, but I want you to continue to live, and you are not allowed to seek death and life in the future, this is what I ask of you, you must promise me," Zhi Qiu said.

"Jing Shaoxia, the old man's sins are deep and unforgivable, so you still let the old man break it himself. All this is the old man's own doing, and he doesn't need to be sympathized with by others. The Medicine King said.

"I'm not doing this for you, but for the people of Wuyi Mountain. Zhi Qiu said.

When the Medicine King heard Zhi Qiu's words, he calmed down and fell into deep thought.

"I want you to promise me three things, can you do it?" asked Chi Qiu.

"Hey, you say, as long as the old man can do it, he will try his best to meet it. The Medicine King said.

"Okay, but these three things are harder than death, can you do it?" asked Zhi Qiu again.

"The old man is deeply guilty and knows that he is unforgivable. As long as he can meet Jing Shaoxia's wishes, no matter how difficult it is, the old man will do his best, even if he doesn't want his life, he will not hesitate. The Medicine King said.

"Okay, the first thing I want you to do is to promise me that I will continue to treat the people in this Wuyi Mountain in the future, and I will not be able to regret it until I die, can you do it?" asked Zhi Qiu.

"Free medical treatment for the people is the old man's long-cherished wish in his life, of course, he can't ask for it. This is not a requirement, please Jing Shaoxia change it again. The Medicine King said.

"A gentleman is hard to follow, my first request is like this, do you agree or not?" Zhi Qiu asked.

"This..."The Medicine King was very embarrassed.

"Master, you can say yes. Citamine said.

"Yes, King Yao, the people of Wuyi Mountain will need you, so you can agree," Zhiqiu's mother also persuaded.

"Hey, well, the old man promised you. The second request should be too much, otherwise the old man would never have agreed. The Medicine King said.

"Okay, then I'll make the most excessive request. My second request was—" The grudge was unspoken.

"Please Jing Shaoxia, just say it, no matter how difficult it is, the old man will definitely do it. The Medicine King said.

"Well, my second request is: you take me as a disciple and teach me how to heal the sick and save people. I also want to be like you, to be a doctor who hangs a pot to help the world and save the suffering. Can you do it?" Zhi Qiu lowered his head and didn't look into the Medicine King's eyes.

As soon as Zhiqiu said this, everyone couldn't believe their ears. All the apprenticeship scenes in this world are disciples respectfully kneeling and serving tea. The Master stands or sits high and receives the devout worship of his disciples. And this kind of apprenticeship in front of me is something that no one has ever seen.

"Old man... The old man is ashamed of you, how can he still be qualified to be your master?" said the Medicine King in embarrassment.

"Didn't you say that you could promise me anything? You don't want to pass on your skills to me, the son of an enemy?" asked Zhi Qiu, puzzled.

"No, no, no, that's not what the old man meant. The old man did kill Jing Shaoxia and your father back then, and the old man is ashamed of you, how can he be your master? If Jing Shaoxia really wants to learn this Qihuang technique, the old man will teach him everything. There is no reservation, but I dare not claim to be a teacher. The Medicine King explained.

"Since the skill is taught, it is the master. If you say that, then I'll take you as you agree?" asked Zhi Qiu.

"It's... Old man..."The medicine king looked embarrassed.

"Master, since Brother Jing is willing to learn medical skills from you, then you can promise him. In fact, Brother Jing, he is a good-hearted and good person. Please don't miss such a good apprentice. Zinaut said earnestly.

"Yes, Medicine King, you have such a wonderful master-apprentice fate, which can be regarded as cultivated in the previous life, so you can promise to Brother Zhiqiu. I think he's genuine. Yi Dan on the side also persuaded.

The Medicine King knelt on the ground, looked into Zhi Qiu's eyes and said, "Okay, since you don't dislike the old man, then the old man will promise you." The old man will learn all his life. Teach each other. In order to make up for the mistakes of this life, please accept Jing Shaoxia. With that, the Medicine King knelt up straight, holding his right hand with his left hand. Bow to the enemy.

"Get up, don't do that. Zhi Qiu hurriedly reached out and helped the Medicine King up.

The Medicine King got up and said, "This is what the old man owes you." You're welcome. ”

At this time, Sheng Luniu on the side whispered to Youming: "This is the most comical apprenticeship scene I have ever seen in my life."

"yes, I think so too. Youming said.

"Senior Medicine King, congratulations on accepting such a good apprentice. Yi Dan hurriedly said.

"Oh, I'm ashamed. May I ask Jing Shaoxia, what is your third request? Please just tell me, the old man will promise you everything. The Medicine King said.

"The third request, I haven't thought of yet. I'll tell you when I've figured it out," Chi Qiu said.

"Well, the old man has written it down, no matter when, as long as you want, you can ask the old man for your request," said the medicine king.

"Master, great, Brother Jing is now my teacher... Oh, Brother Jing, is he my senior brother or junior brother?" asked Xinle happily.

"Senior sister, although he is a little older than you, after all, he started late, of course he has to be our junior brother. Shanwen interjected.

"Don't be rude, Jing Shaoxia is the benefactor of the old man, you all have to respect him," said the Medicine King.

"Yes, Master" Shan Wen quickly retracted his head.

The medicine king sighed and wiped his tears with his sleeve, but saw that the sleeve was stained with the blood on Zhiqiu's hand, so he hurriedly took out a bottle of special medicinal powder from his pocket: "This is the old man's special golden medicine, you should put it on first to stop the bleeding." ”

Zinaut wanted to reach out and grab the medicine bottle and hand it to Chigue, who reached out to stop Cita. He reached out and took the medicine bottle from the medicine king's hand, opened it and sprinkled it on the wound, and the scar healed immediately.

"Thanks to the Medicine King, the grudge between us has finally come to an end. Chi Qiu's mother said.

When Mrs. Jing said this, the old man was ashamed of himself. The old man made a big mistake back then, but fortunately, the two of them now ignore the past suspicions, the old man has no worries, and the only thing he can't let go of is the people in the mountains. The old man thanked the two for allowing the old man to survive for a few more years, and let the old man treat the people in the mountains, but he was still alive. The two repay their grievances with virtue, great kindness, and the old man is extremely ashamed, please accept the old man's worship. With that, the Medicine King knelt down again and thanked the two.

"King Yao, please get up quickly, you have been treating the people in the mountains all these years, and I have heard of it for a long time. As the saying goes, people are watching the sky, and who dares to say that they did not make mistakes when they were young and frivolous? If they know that they can change their mistakes and can benefit the common people, then it is a merit. The things of the past, please don't worry about the medicine king," said Zhiqiu's mother.

"Old lady Jing, great benevolence and righteousness, the old man is really ashamed," said the medicine king.

"My son was blinded by hatred before, and there are many things that are wrong, please don't take it to heart," said the mother.

"Where is the old lady of the well. Jing Shaoxia is a young hero, brave and filial, and the old man is also deeply admired," said the medicine king.

"The king of medicine is benevolent, in the future, please teach children to learn medicine and medicine, so that he can also turn back as a prodigal son from now on, and the old man is grateful here. Chi Qiu's mother said.

"Mrs. Jing is polite, Jing Shaoxia is kind. The old man must do his best to pass on what he has learned in this life to Ling Lang, and he must make him a benevolent holy doctor. The Medicine King said.

"Then thank you Medicine King!" Zhiqiu's mother nodded.

"Mother, look at it. I didn't expect this medicine to work so well, and my wound immediately stopped hurting and bleeding. Zhi Qiu looked at his hand in surprise and said.

"These are all small skills of carving insects, if you are interested, the old man will definitely teach you without reservation. The Medicine King said.

"Great, great, I can also heal and save people in the future. Zhi Qiu's simple mind was unreservedly displayed, and at this moment, he finally showed a knowing smile.

Shanwen and Zhao Cheng on the side looked at Zhi Qiu with jealousy on their faces, and rolled their eyes at each other.

"Great. I didn't expect the matter to be solved so satisfactorily. Brother Zhiqiu, I'm so happy for you. Yi Dan said.

Zhi Qiu touched his face and said, "I didn't expect that I would exchange this face for such a life." But it's okay, it's better than the previous one. I don't know how much better it is for Jing Yaotian, who is high in the sky, right?" he said, recalling all the hardships he had suffered for more than a year, and Zhi Qiu let out a long breath.

"Yaotian, it's good that you figure it out. As long as you can regain that good self. Mother is worth it for you. The mother said, taking her son's hand.

At this time, Yi Dan looked at Zhi Qiu's face and thought for a while.

"Miss Yi. What are you watching me do?" asked Shihate.

"Brother Zhiqiu, I think your face should be caused by the venom left over from practicing the Thousand Snakes and Poisonous Skills. I'm thinking, if you ask the Medicine King to think of a way, you should be able to get rid of all the residual poison in your body, right?"

"Well, that's right, the old body also has this intention, I wonder if the Medicine King can help my son?" asked the Medicine King's mother.

"Okay, this matter is all because of the old man, let the old man think of a way. The Medicine King said.

Zhi Qiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then, what if it can't be cured?"

"Brother Jing, it doesn't matter if you can't be cured, even if you can't be cured, I like you all the same. I don't care what you look like, what I like is your kind heart. Zinaut said, looking into Chi Qiu's eyes.

"Miss Xinle, Brother Zhiqiu, you?" asked Yi Dan with a look of surprise.

"That's right, I like Brother Jing, I want to be with him. Master, will you promise me?" asked Xinle.

"Zineda, you were brought up by me, just like my own daughter. Jing Shaoxia is a person worthy of lifelong trust, if you really like it, Master will definitely bless you. The Medicine King said to Xin Le in a fatherly tone.

"Great, great, Master agreed, you agreed, thank you Master!" Zin Lok jumped for joy.

"However, the old man still has to find a way to heal Jing Shaoxia's injuries. The Medicine King said.

Xinle looked at Zhi Qiu's face and said, "I see... It doesn't matter if it's not cured, it's actually good to get used to it this way. ”

Xinle knows very well in her heart that she has always been not very confident in her appearance, and now in the face of the hatred of her ruined appearance, it may make her feel less inferior. If Zhiqiu's face is really cured, what if he likes himself again? Thinking of these consequences, she had just said this.

"No, Miss Xinle, if there is hope, let's cure, otherwise how will I see people in the future? If that's the case, I'm afraid no one will dare to go up the mountain to see the medicine king in the future," said the mother.

"It's okay aunt, the people here aren't even afraid of the big python of the dragon, not to mention that Brother Jing is a big living person, as long as they know that Brother Jing is a kind person at heart, isn't it?"

"In that case, then I'm dead, right?" said Zhi Qiu.

"No, Brother Zhiqiu, you better cure it. How do you know if you can't cure it if you don't try it?" Yi Dan said.

"But—" Chi Qiu looked into Cita's eyes, worried.

Xin Le thought about it, and then said earnestly: "But Brother Jing, if your face is cured, maybe you will be happier in the future, so you can let Master give it a try." ”

"You still say you don't care about my face, I think you still do?" Zhi Qiu said a little unhappily.

"Brother Jing, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. It's just that... I can't be so selfish, I want you to be happy and happy forever. You know what? As long as you can be happy forever, I'll be very happy, I don't want much, that's enough. Citamine said.

"Cita, thank you for being so nice to me. But what if I get uglier?" asked Shihate.

"No matter what you become, I won't dislike it. Please believe in me and in Master. Citamine said.

"Well, well, I'll listen to you. Chi Qiu nodded slightly.

"Okay, without further ado, let's hurry back to Yao Wang Feng and find a way to treat Jing Shaoxia's injuries. At the suggestion of the Medicine King, everyone finally returned to the Medicine King Peak happily. (To be continued.) )
