The heavenly ghost Bu Jixin was invited to a hexagram, and only said four words: woe to Xiao Wall. Xu Zhengxing asked, but he put on an unfathomable look and no longer cared about people.

Li An saw that the little Taoist priest had a lingering breath, and he looked like a master, and he was secretly funny in his heart. The gods of the rivers and lakes calculated, and sure enough, seven points relied on divination, and three points relied on pretending.

Back at the medicine house, Old Man Xu was preoccupied, called Li An aside, and told the origin of Yanshi Gorge.

Langya County Xu family generations of good doctors, about two hundred years ago, a young doctor named Xu Jingting in the clan was called into the court, full-time alchemy.

The emperor took Xu Jingting's elixir, felt good, and was very happy, so he asked him what reward he wanted.

Xu Jingting asked to borrow books from the royal collection, because the ancient Danfang was scattered among the people, and there were many unique fragments collected by the royal family and hidden in the forbidden palace. Xu Jingting is obsessed with the art of alchemy, and he dreams of seeing it.

The Emperor readily agreed. In addition to Xu Jingting's daily alchemy, he went to the forbidden palace to read the books, and sometimes borrowed them home to read. It's been ten years in a blink of an eye, and unfortunately, I haven't found any particularly valuable Danfang.

On this day, Xu Jingting brought home a torn silk book, and at a cursory glance, the content was not unusual, and he could write a copy of the things recorded in it. It just so happened that an idle prince invited him to dinner, so he put the silk book on the coffee table and went out.

When I came back, as soon as I entered the door, I heard my son crying, Xu Jingting asked, it turned out that my son knocked over the teapot, wet the silk book, and was beaten by his wife. Xu Jingting comforted his wife and children, and thought: If you use medicinal materials to concoct them and then flatten them, you can't tell that they have been blistered.

Gently holding the soaked silk book, Xu Jingting's hand trembled uncontrollably, and in the gap between each line of words on the silk book, many small red characters appeared in the original blank position, all of which were extremely exquisite medical skills, as well as incomplete ancient Dan prescriptions.

Xu Jingting spent another two years collecting the surviving silk books, and collating and transcribing the hidden documents, including those incomplete Danfang, into a collection.

It just so happened that the emperor relied more and more on pills, and just some prescriptions to prolong life and strengthen his body could no longer satisfy him, and he gradually alienated Xu Jingting. Recruit people from all over the world, develop what elixir, in just one year, there are many Taoist temples in Beijing, and there is a miasma of smoke all day long.

The ancient Danfang was obscure, Xu Jingting was obsessed with it, and he had no intention of serving in the imperial court, so he resigned. Traveling around the world, his footprints are all over the ancient temples in the mountains, looking for hermits who are proficient in alchemy, and learning from them.

Hard work pays off, Xu Jingting traveled all over the world, and met a strange person by chance, this person is a mute, talking with pen and paper, and signing Yanshi.

Yanshi's medical skills are not under Xu Jingting, and what is even more strange is that the puppets he made are flexible and free, and their appearance is no different from that of a real person.

Today, most of the anti-heaven pills in the Medicine King Valley were collected by Xu Jingting back then, discussed with Yanshi, and gradually improved. Among them is the Kaiyuan Zijin Dan, which is well-known among the major immortal cultivation sects.

After a few years, the emperor took too many improperly refined pills, and Shen Ke was difficult to treat, so he urgently summoned Xu Jingting to return to the court. also issued an edict that if he died, Xu Jingting and other famous doctors would fall to the ground and expel the monks.

Yanshi secretly made a puppet, and his appearance was the same as Xu Jingting's, and even his demeanor in acupuncture and moxibustion was very similar. It's just one thing, this puppet is tireless, and it can't really judge people's conditions, and if no one controls it, it will keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Xu Jingting had no choice but to pretend to be a servant and bring a puppet into Beijing. When I saw the emperor from afar, I knew that His Majesty was terminally ill and could not be cured. He calculated the time for the emperor to return to heaven, asked the puppet to tell him to go back to the inn to wait, and signaled the puppet to continue to cut the emperor's pulse, so he escaped.

The emperor died, and the puppet was beheaded along with several other famous doctors. The headless puppet still moves freely, walking around, and asking people about their pulses in turn. And the technique is fast, grasping the connections, one by one, once caused panic in the execution ground, and the prison officials were held by the puppet and peed their pants directly.

There was no shortage of bold people in the hands of the nephew, and after a few more slashes, he found that it was not a corpse, but a golden cicada that had come out of its shell.

Rao is like this, and folk legends also say that Xu Jingting is a generation of famous doctors, and in the end, his head is different, and his resentment does not disperse and turns into a ghost. Xu Jingting didn't dare to go back to Langya County directly, changed his name and surname, and hid in a small town in disguise for three years.

When he returned to the mountain gorge, Yanshi was dead, and only a lonely mound remained. Xu Jingting found a plain note in the medicine box commonly used by Yanshi, which was a letter left by Yanshi.

It turned out that not long ago, Yanshi's younger brother Gong Ink found in the nameless mountain gorge and forced Yanshi to hand over the secret technique of making dolls.

Yanshi knew that he could not be spared, so he left a book, saying that he had a daughter, and implored Xu Jingting to take care of it. There was no address on the letter, Xu Jingting looked through the medicine box and found that there were only two flavors of medicine: Banxia and Shudi.

He thought for a moment: Banxia, which can also be said to be the fifth day of the fifth month of May. Immediately knew in his heart, and on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, he stood at the door of the Tongji Pharmacy and waited for Yanshi's daughter Zhengyu.

Xu Jingting later recruited a wide range of disciples and founded the Medicine King Valley faction. In order to commemorate the life-saving benefactor, the nameless mountain gorge behind the Yaowang Valley is called Yanshi Gorge.

Old man Xu had seen those bronze figures, and he thought that Li An's congenital deficiencies were related to the evil arts recorded above. Old man Xu also said that Li Xiangyang is not a person with narrow energy, and the reason why Bai Xiushan, a famous doctor in Jiangnan, was locked up for ten years was probably because Bai Xiushan discovered this problem, but he did not dare to tell him directly, delaying the best time for treatment......

Li An also had this kind of suspicion, but he didn't want to think about it, artificially letting a child be born with a stubborn illness, how frustrating would this be? Old man Xu wrote out the evil magic on the back of the bronze man from memory, and Li An read it several times, and after remembering it, he silently burned it.

――――

In the Yanshi Gorge, the cold wind was blowing, and Li An and Jixin took Bai Ruixiang to walk forward in the knee-high barren grass. In such a desolate place, even if the Medicine King Valley is not set as a forbidden place, it is estimated that not many people will be willing to enter.

It is still very wise to bring the snake demon in, the strong smell of medicine on Bai Ruixiang's body can repel insects, and snakes like to drill around, and they will not miss any suspicious places.

However, when Bai Ruixiang stopped for the tenth time and hissed at the wooden man in the Yanshi's former residence that could close the door automatically, Li Ang couldn't wait to stew it. Bai Ruixiang quietly slipped out of the courtyard, and after a moment, hissed again.

Ang Lee chased out, this is an ordinary stone wall. Reaching out and groping and knocking, there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal. He kicked hard at the stone wall, and the dust shook down, and a little crack appeared in the stone wall. Ang Lee widened the gap as if it were a mechanism. Stretching out his hand and breaking it hard, click, click, click, the sound of the machine turning faintly came.

"Be careful!" reminded him.

Li An looked around nervously, but no hidden weapon was shot. Suddenly, his feet were empty, and his body fell down involuntarily, and he was in mid-air, thinking in his heart: Brother, what's the use of you just talking about being careful, who would have thought that it was the soles of your feet?

The heart also came down, but he didn't fall down, but he flew in the wind in a chic manner, holding a jade flute. This guy still has a bit of a conscience, and he took Li An a hand, so that he could avoid the doom of falling into disgrace.
