In the inn room, pharmacist Xu Gui prescribed a prescription and handed it to Pi Kaiyuan: "Quick, you go to the pharmacy now, and according to this prescription, grab some medicine to reduce swelling and relieve pain, stop bleeding and clotting." ”

"Yes, I'll go. Pi Kaiyuan took the recipe and turned to leave.

"Miss Yi, please find a pair of scissors and a clean white cloth, and bring some boiling water over. Xu Gui said to Yi Dan.

"Okay, let's do it. Yi Dan and Youming, according to Xu Gui's request, brought all the things in a short time. Pi Kaiyuan also grabbed the medicine back, and as requested, ground a part of it into powder.

Xu Gui used scissors to cut the clothes on Mu Yongxiao's shoulders. I saw that the arrow was deep under the collarbone, with the depth of a thumb. Due to the hot weather, there was a circle around the wound, and it was noticeably starting to become red and swollen.

Xu Gui held the arrow and said, "Mu Daxia held back, I'm going to pull out the arrow." ”

Mu Yongxiao gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, you can pull it out." ”

Xu Gui saw the position and quickly pulled out the arrow. The arrows brought some of the blood out as well.

Mu Yongxiao gritted his teeth, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Xu Gui put the blood arrow aside, scalded the white linen cloth with boiling water, cleaned up the blood around the wound, and said to Yi Dan: "Quick, give me the ground herbs." ”

Pi Kaiyuan handed the medicinal powder in the bowl to Xu Gui, and Xu Gui used a spoon to apply the herbs that were used to stop bleeding and coagulate blood on Mu Yongxiao's wound.

Just as Xu Gui was about to use a white linen cloth to wrap Mu Yongxiao's wounds. Pi Kaiyuan took out a packet of black powder and said, "Mr. Xu, put this medicine on Master's wound as well." ”

Xu Gui looked up at Pi Kaiyuan holding a bag of black powder in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

Pi Kaiyuan: "This is called gunpowder, and many people in the local area use it to smear it on their bodies to treat sores or something, and the effect is very good." ”

Xu Gui said suspiciously: "Gunpowder?

Pi Kaiyuan said: "That's right, this was originally a Taoist alchemy. ”

Xu Guidao: "No need, these herbs are enough." Let's talk about these alchemy gunpowders. Whether it is good for the body or not is still unknown, and as a pharmacist, I can't indiscriminately use unknown medicines on patients. ”

At this time, Yi Dan took out the unique healing god "Medicinal Cordyceps Nine Zhen Pill" that he carried with him and asked, "Mr. Xu, the gunpowder of alchemy may not be able to help Mu Daxia's injury. But I believe that this Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill must be helpful. ”

Xu Gui asked, "Cordyceps Nine Zhen Pill? Could it be the unique healing elixir of the Dangshan Cultivation School, the Nine Zhen Dan of Cordyceps?"

Yi Dan said: "That's right, my master gave it to me, you see, can you give it to Mu Daxia?"

Xu Guida: "In the early years, I heard my father say that the Nine Treasures of Cordyceps cultivated on Dangshan Mountain were made by refining nine kinds of precious medicinal materials for 7749 days with Cordyceps sinensis from Kunlun Mountain, thousand-year-old ginseng from Taibai Mountain, and fairy grass Ganoderma lucidum from the Eastern Xianbeilian Forest. It not only invigorates blood circulation and dispels blood stasis, greatly replenishes vitality, but also is an excellent medicine for internal and external injuries. When I was a child, when I was in Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi), with my father and I were treating the injuries of King Yang Xing of Wu, I met a Taoist leader of the Dangshan Sect, and used Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill to cure King Wu's injuries quickly. However, at that time, I also saw the great power of using this gunpowder to attack the city. ”

Yi Dan said: "Since Mr. Xu is a pharmacist, he is also the one who heals Mu Daxia's injuries. Whether this Cordyceps Nine Zhen Pill can be given to Mu Daxia, I want to ask for your consent first. ”

Xu Guidao: "Of course I need it, I can't ask for such a good healing medicine." However, I have just stopped the blood of Mu Zhangmen, this Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill is a tonic for blood circulation and blood stasis, and it will take a few hours before taking it. ”

"Okay, let's take it in a few hours. Yi Dan said.

Everyone stayed by Mu Yongxiao's bedside, and after two hours, Deng Xiang handed over a cup of warm water, and Yi Dan gave Mu Yongxiao the Cordyceps Nine Zhen Pill.

After Mu Yongxiao took Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill, he obviously felt much better. He leaned on the head of the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, it seems that this Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill does work, but it is such a precious medicine, so Miss Yi, you have broken the bank." ”

Yi Dan said jokingly: "Mu Daxia doesn't have to be polite, medicine is originally used to cure diseases, and it is the blessing of my Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill to be able to treat injuries for a hero like Mu Daxia." How's it going? Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better. Thank you!" Mu Yongxiao said.

"Then you can get some rest. Xu Gui admonished.

Mu Yongxiao said: "I just heard Mr. Xu mention the gunpowder siege, but it reminded me of a person. He was best at developing sulfur saltpeter, which he made into explosives and used to fry fish. If we can get his help, I believe we will definitely be able to capture Cape Villa. ”

Yi Dan asked, "Really, who is this man, and where is he now?"

Mu Yongxiao said: "I only know that this person's surname is Zheng, more than ten years ago, he moved from Jiangdong to Ya County, and now he lives in Nanshui Fishing Port in Ya County. He came to Haijiao Villa more than ten years ago to find me, and he said that he wanted to combine the explosives he developed with my bow and crossbow, so that it could be used to attack the city and fight the war, and help the Tang Dynasty. But I didn't answer him, and I threw him out. ”

Yi Dan asked, "Why didn't Mu Daxia agree to him?

Mu Yongxiao said: "Of course, there are reasons for this, but the most important thing is not this reason. ”

Yi Dan asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Mu Yongxiao sighed: "Hey, it's been hundreds of years since this matter, and I don't want to mention it anymore." But historical facts, after all, are unchangeable, and evasion will not help. ”

Yi Dan said: "Since this matter is a secret of Mu Daxia, you don't want to mention it, so don't talk about it." ”

Mu Yongxiao said: "But now it's not what it used to be, and it's okay to talk about it." This matter has to start with my ancestors..."

Everyone listened carefully to the story told by Mu Yongxiao, he slowly sat up and began to describe in detail: "My ancestor was a person in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, originally surnamed Li, with a single name of the word 'secret'."

"Li Mi?" Xu Gui heard this and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, General Li Mi, who assisted Zhai Rang in Wagangzhai and rebelled against Sui?"

Mu Yongxiao: "That's right, it's Li Mi, the leader of the anti-Sui rebel army in Wagangzhai. The father of the ancestor died in the war of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and when his mother was pregnant with him, he begged to give birth to Xingchan Temple, and the ancestor Li Mihou unfortunately passed away. Li Mi was adopted and raised by Master Xinci, the abbot of Xingchan Temple. He practiced martial arts in the morning, read poems during the day, was extremely intelligent, and never forgot it. From the master of Xinci, he learned a strong and powerful heart-destroying palm, and he has the courage to be invincible. ”

"These are all recorded in the history books, but what about later?" Xu Gui asked.

Mu Yongxiao continued: "Later, the world was in turmoil, and the ancestor Li Mi defected to Zhai Rang in Wagangzhai and became a strategist general under his account. Because of this, he got acquainted with Xu Shiji, Wei Zheng, Wang Bodang, Shan Xiongxin, Qin Shubao, Luo Cheng, these well-known heroes, and a group of founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty. The ancestor Li Mi once offered advice to Zhai Rang, so that Wagangzhai repeatedly broke the Sui army. Wagangzhai once controlled the Central Plains for three years, and there was hope of winning Kyushu. ”

Hearing this, Youming became interested, so he asked, "Why did the Nawagang army fail again?"

Mu Yongxiao said: "Throughout the ages, all righteous failures have been due to greed and infighting. At the beginning, everyone didn't care about gains and losses, and worked hard. But later, the power became bigger and bigger, and people's hearts changed. Everyone wants to take the world and keep it for themselves. ”

Yi Dan asked, "Then what happened? What about the Wagang Village?"

Mu Yongxiao said: "Because of the ancestor Li Mi, he has the greatest merit and ability in Wagang Village, and has also become the de facto leader of the Wagang Army. The original owner of the village, Zhai Rang, was generous-minded, thinking in the ancestor Li Mi to understand people, wise and resourceful, respecting him as 'Duke of Wei', and wanted to give him the position of the leader of the Wagang Army. But Zhai Rang's eldest brother Zhai Hong was entangled, saying that the position of the Son of Heaven could not fall into someone else's house, but the open-minded Zhai Rang ignored it. ”

Xu Gui asked, "Then why did Li Mi later become the leader of the Wagang Army and call him Emperor Kim Yong Cheng?"

Mu Yongxiao said: "Although Zhai Rang is generous-minded, the ancestor Li Mi is greedy for power, and he is afraid that Zhai Rang will not be able to withstand the instigation of his eldest brother, and will eventually take back the power in his hands, and he will have nothing, so the ancestor was confused for a while, so he killed Zhai Rang, and built Jin Yong City to the east of Luoyang, called the emperor temple." Later, from the Nanban, the long-lost Zhuge crossbow was occasionally obtained, and it was transformed and erected on the city wall. Turn Kim Yong Cheng into an impregnable wall. even with Wang Shichong of Luoyang, forming a trend of confrontation. ”

Xu Guidao: "Later, why was the Wagang Army wiped out by Wang Shichong?"

Mu Yongxiao said: "It is all because the ancestors killed Zhai Rang and got the power of Wagang, they became proud and complacent, stubborn and self-serving, appointed villains, did not listen to advice, and separated from the soldiers, so they were defeated by Wang Shichong." Most of the ancestors and most of the generals of Wagangzhai also voted for the Tang Army successively. Later, the ancestor Li Mi rebelled against the Tang Dynasty because he was unwilling to submit to others, and was beheaded by the Tang general Sheng Yanshi. The only surviving son of the ancestor was afraid of being chased and killed by the Tang Dynasty, so he fled all the way south to the southern end of Qiongya Island, and used the drawings of the ancestors to build the city in the South China Sea. At the same time, it inherited the ancestors' Zhuge crossbow and transformed it into a 10,000-arrow crossbow. The fierce and powerful heart-destroying palm evolved into the Zhenhai stone sand palm. is no longer surnamed Li, but takes the upper half of the word "Li" as the surname of a "wood" character, and lives in seclusion at the ends of the earth for generations, not involved in the rivers and lakes and does not ask the court. ”

Yi Dan said: "Oh, I understand, no wonder Xiaofeng told me before that the heads of the Tianya faction never set foot in the north to set foot on the mainland, and they only asked about the grievances of the Central Plains rivers and lakes." It turned out that he was afraid that he would be too public, attract the attention of the imperial court, and cause unnecessary trouble, right?"

Mu Yongxiao said: "That's right, although I also thought that the ancestor Li Mi killed Zhai Rang first, and then betrayed the Tang Dynasty, it was an act of injustice and disloyalty." But after all, the Tang Dynasty once sent people to hunt down and kill Li Mi's descendants, and we can only live incognito and live alone in the world from generation to generation. So when the person surnamed Zheng came to me and said that I should help the Tang Dynasty with him, I was very reluctant, so I didn't agree to him. Although Qiongya Island in the south of Lingnan is a place of wilderness and miasma, exiled prisoners. But the people of my Tianya faction have lived here for generations, and their lives are very comfortable and happy, and they don't want to ask about the grievances of the rivers and lakes anymore, and the general trend of the world. ”

Xu Guidao: "It turns out that the Tianya faction and the Tang Dynasty once had such a grudge. No wonder my Knife Grinding Gang has invited Master Mu to go to Guangzhou several times to discuss the support of the Tang Dynasty, but Mu Daxia politely refused. I didn't expect Mu Daxia to have such an unspeakable secret. ”

Mu Yongxiao said: "Hey, I'm ashamed, in fact, the Tianya faction is not all because of hatred of the Tang Dynasty. After all, so many years have passed, and the grievances of the past have long since disappeared. It's just that we don't really want our friends on the rivers and lakes to know that this period of the ancestors' not so glorious past is. I'm afraid that fellow martial artists will find out and laugh at us. ”

Yi Dan hurriedly said: "Mu Daxia, you don't have to carry such a big burden on yourself. After all, the good and evil of the ancestors are their own business, and we don't need to let ourselves carry a heavy burden for the mistakes of our ancestors. As long as we are open and have a clear conscience, we can stand between heaven and earth. ”

Mu Yongxiao said: "You're right, I don't know if it's worrying, or if it's been too long." Now Mu thinks that if he stays away from the grievances of the rivers and lakes, he can enjoy himself. So that when he was in danger, he could not get the assistance of other sects in the rivers and lakes. I'm ashamed to think about it, hey. ”

Xu Gui said: "The rivers and lakes are woven by the relationship between people, if you don't interact with people, people will not be too hot." ”

Yi Dan said: "Mr. Xu is right, but Mu Daxia is on Qiongya Island, and he is just as chivalrous. The people in the rivers and lakes are all thinking about you. It's just that the good guys are worried about it, and if it's the bad guys, then it's..."

Mu Yongxiao said: "That's right, I will also think carefully in the future and readjust my position in the rivers and lakes of the Tianya faction." ”

Yi Dan took this opportunity to add: "Now that the Tang Dynasty has long been wiped out, the things that the Tianya faction has been worried about for generations no longer exists. If Mu Daxia can think of the well-being of the people in the world and can reappear in the rivers and lakes, I believe that Mu Daxia will be able to become famous in the world, shock the martial arts, and set the country and peace just around the corner. ”

Mu Yongxiao said: "Famous all over the world? Hey, Miss Yi, don't make fun of me, now I can't protect myself, what country and what kind of state will I set? If this time, my wife and daughter can be safe, everything will be fine." I just hope that I can continue to help the poor on this Qiongya Island, and be at ease, which is enough. ”

Yi Dan smiled and said, "Well, then I will do my best to help Mu Daxia relieve the danger and rescue Mrs. Zun and Ling Ai." ”

Mu Yongxiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Yi! I think that if you can invite that person surnamed Zheng to help, I believe it will get twice the result with half the effort." Excuse me, who would like to go down there for you?"

Yi Dan arched his hand and said unyieldingly: "Then, let me go for a run with my junior brother." We'll definitely find a way to get that Mr. Zheng to help. ”

Youming said: "Yes, Mu Daxia, we will definitely invite Mr. Zheng here." ”

Mu Yongxiao said: "Okay, just work hard Miss Yi and Yuan Shaoxia to run for me." Please help me bring a message to Mr. Zheng, just say that Tianya sent Mu Yongxiao to say hello to him, he is injured and can't come to visit, please understand!"

Yi Dan said: "Okay, Mu Daxia, don't worry, I will definitely bring your greetings." You can recuperate in peace and wait for our good news. ”

Mu Yongxiao nodded and said, "Well, thank you two." ”

Pi Kaiyuan said: "Master, let me go with Miss Yi, I am more familiar with this journey." ”

Mu Yongxiao said: "Okay, you can go together." But it's not early today, so you can rest for a day and go tomorrow. After finding Mr. Zheng, please remember to be polite, please invite if you can, and don't be too embarrassed if you can't be invited. ”

Yi Dan said: "Don't worry, we will definitely invite Mr. Xu politely." (To be continued.) )
