Incredible

"

Huang Banxia replied: "Brother!"

Shen Yao asked again: "What am I yours?"

Huang Banxia respectfully said: "Brother!"

Shen Yao taught him: "Brother for a day, brother for life. From now on, if you see any good medicinal materials, first bring them to honor your elder brother; if you get any delicious food, first bring them to your elder brother to taste."

Huang Banxia's eyes fell aside.

There was a brightly red "囍" posted on the front of the courtyard of a nearby family, but the surroundings were cold and desolate, not even a rooster crowing could be heard.

Seeing this, Shen Yao said a word of relief: "I won't treat you badly either. In the future, if you want to get married..."

Shen Yao was about to make a statement: I can help you connect, but Huang Banxia, ​​who was standing by the side, was already furious: "Shen Yao, you are deceiving people too much! You started thinking about my wife before I got married and started a family?"

Shen Yao reprimanded solemnly: "Who cares about your daughter-in-law? The heart of a villain is the heart of a gentleman, and I will punish you to recite "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" silently three times today."

Before Huang Banxia went out, his father asked him to take Shen Yao and his party back to the pharmacy.

Huang Banxia followed his father's order and did not dare to argue with Shen Yao anymore.

Shen Yao hooked his shoulders with him: "I'm not bragging, I've seen a girl who looks like a fairy two or three times, and there is no movement in my heart. I have already jumped out of the world of mortals, and I have seen through the boring colors."

Huang Banxia didn't believe it: "Really?"

Shen Yao nodded: "Of course it is true, if you don't believe me, ask my brother."

Huang Banxia asked curiously: "Miss Tianxian...what does she look like?"

Hearing this conversation, Xu Xingxiu turned to look at Shen Yao.He thought to himself: Shen Yao, this little bastard, probably thinks of Yun Tang, the leader of the Demon Cult.

Shen Yao laughed and said, "Don't mention those beauties in the rivers and lakes. If we can't solve the plague, we will all die in Anjiang City. We will never leave the city gate for the rest of our lives."

With his hands behind his back, he said lightly: "It's a pity, I haven't been to the famous Liangzhou. I heard that the rice noodles in Liangzhou are the first, the wine is the second, and the beauties in Qinhuai Tower are the third... "

Huang Banxia suddenly answered, "The fourth unique skill in Liangzhou is Sword Immortal."

Shen Yao turned his face and glanced at him: "Anjiang City is so close to Liangzhou, have you ever been there?"

Huang Banxia raised her head slightly, as if she was thinking: "When I was seven years old, I went to Liangzhou with my father. That day, the Duan family was selecting a group of young people who practiced martial arts...it was the Duan family who had been born a sword fairy! "

Shen Yao chuckled: "Who in the world doesn't know the Duan family in Liangzhou? Although I am a foreigner, I am not a villager."

Liangzhou is an important place for the imperial court. It has been prosperous and prosperous since ancient times, making people linger and forget to return.After dark, tourists often walk along the streets and alleys, and the street lights are as bright as stars.

When Shen Yao's master was young, he traveled in Liangzhou for a year, and wrote a poem in his own hand: "The spring wine is warm by the lakeside of Hualou, and the flowers are red on the banks of the fine grass and breeze."

Master seldom wrote poems.But he fell in love with the pavilions, towers and pavilions in Liangzhou, with smoked willows and painted bridges.

However, when mentioning Liangzhou in front of Jianghu knights, most of them would hear the name of "Liangzhou Duan Family".

It is said that more than 30 years ago, there was a young sword fairy in the Duan family, who was amazingly talented.He has no sword in his hand, but he has a sword in his heart. He is good at "Treading Xue Wuhen", which can kill people invisible.

Shen Yao put forward a new opinion: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to live, just go to the Duan's house to find the sword fairy! Die quickly, without pain, and without suffering."

Huang Banxia advised him: "Brother, you are a doctor, if you meet this kind of person, you have to persuade him to spare his life."

"I won't persuade," Shen Yao said lazily, "People who deserve to live can live, and people who deserve to die will die sooner or later."

He took out the dagger from his pocket, put it in his sleeve, looked at Huang Banxia again, and said something in his words: "For example, we were in your pharmacy that day... When we talked about the plague, how did you answer it? Do you remember?" ? You said, we gangsters from out of town go as far as we can to confuse people.”

He stopped and stood quietly in front of the pharmacy: "Tell me, if you believed us at that time, could there be fewer deaths in this city?"

Huang Banxia endured for a moment, then stepped up the steps: "Aren't you from the Chu family in the capital?"

The steps are slightly higher and the stone is polished smooth.Huang Banxia raised his other foot, and the sole of his shoe crushed the ground: "The Chu family in the capital is so famous, why don't you ask Mr. Chu, or ask Mr. Chu to come forward to do something?"

Xu Xingxiu, who was standing in front of him, replied: "You guessed it right, I really went to find Chu Kairong."

Xu Xingxiu was easy-going, safe and steady, just from his words and deeds, he was much more reliable than Shen Yao.Huang Banxia believed what Xu Xingxiu said, and asked eagerly, "Master Chu, what do you need?"

Xu Xingxiu smiled and said, "Young Master Chu doesn't see any visitors behind closed doors."

Shen Yao continued to correct and said: "To be honest, we are not from the Chu family. However, if something goes wrong with the whole Chu family, the three of us brothers...will have no face to go back to our hometown."

Several people said, they passed the side door of the pharmacy and walked into a hall.

The screen is embroidered with flowers, grass, fish and insects, and stands against the wall.Huang Banxia's father opened the screen, clasped his fists and saluted, "Doctor Wei."

Wei Lingfeng replied: "You're welcome, Doctor Huang."

Huang Banxia's father said modestly: "I am no longer a doctor in front of you, so why don't you just call me Lao Huang."

Lao Huang asked him to sit down: "Last night, I went to see the magistrate. I also presented the prescription you prescribed last time to the magistrate... What the lord means is, please come to uphold justice and eradicate the epidemic."

After saying a few words, Lao Huang rolled up his sleeves and covered his face with a cough.

In front of him was a purple clay pot, brewing the best Biluochun.He had just poured a cup of tea for Wei Lingfeng, when Shen Yao pushed aside the teacup and asked him, "Doctor Huang, I have a question, I don't know if I should say it or not."

With a smile in his eyes, Lao Huang said kindly, "Please tell me."

Shen Yao held his breath, and then said: "Since the magistrate appreciates my senior brother, why don't you meet with senior brother alone?"

After a while, Shen Yao smiled: "Naturally, Dr. Huang is dedicated to serving the people, I'm not doubting you."

Wei Lingfeng didn't care about Shen Yao's speculation.He said: "Old Huang, we are all foreigners, and it is inconvenient to do things in Anjiang City. If you trust me and my juniors, give me the key to the pharmacy, how about it?"

Old Huang hesitated.

Wei Lingfeng looked at Huang Banxia: "How long has your father been coughing?"

Huang Banxia was startled, Nuonuo said: "Three, three days."

Wei Lingfeng stretched out his left hand: "It's not too late."

Without waiting for his father to speak, Huang Banxia took out the key and put it in Wei Lingfeng's palm.

Wei Lingfeng stood up, his robes were clean and spotless, like fresh snow.He said: "Please inform the county magistrate that martial law is ordered throughout the city. Everyone, regardless of gender, age or age, must drink boiled water, eat cooked food, and avoid raw food..."

He bent down and said the most important words: "The corpses of the dead are not allowed to be buried or disposed of without authorization. They are all handed over to the government."

Lao Huang frowned tightly: "What do you mean?"

Wei Lingfeng took a step back and said honestly, "The dead body should be cremated."

The apex of Lao Huang's heart throbbed with pain: "After death, it is safe to bury yourself in the ground."

Wei Lingfeng raised his hand and caught his pulse: "After death, there is rebirth. Whether your body is intact or your bones are ashes..."

Wei Lingfeng gently put down Lao Huang's arm: "You have to go to Huangquan Road and Naihe Bridge."

Lao Huang's chest kept rising and falling, and the satin gown was covering his body, and the fabric was folded into traces one after another.

Wei Lingfeng didn't know what he thought of.In short, Lao Huang's complexion also became ugly.

Old Huang Mingming had to sit on a chair and lean half against the screen to be more comfortable.But after listening to Wei Lingfeng's warning, he walked around the hall a few times before saying, "I will write to the county magistrate."

"It's too late to write a letter," Wei Lingfeng urged, "It's best to go to the government now."

Lao Huang nodded and ordered his housekeeper to prepare the horse.

The housekeeper helped him steady: "Master..."

Lao Huang waved his hand: "No problem, you go prepare the horse. The county magistrate only trusts me. My sons are not in the same generation as the talking."

After Lao Huang left, Wei Lingfeng dragged the two juniors to pick medicinal materials from the warehouse.

The three of them cooperated tacitly and worked swiftly, especially the way of handling medicinal materials was something that Huang Pinxia had never seen or heard in this life.

Shen Yao also recorded all the medicinal materials, quantities, and formulas used, and left them to Huang Banxia: "Even if you are the county magistrate, you can't use your things for nothing. After this plague is over, you take this piece of paper and copy it. The people who hand it over to the government... At least they can get a few taels of silver from the court."

Huang Banxia even claimed to be.

He squatted aside to help.After a while, he asked, "Brother, do you still blame me for what I said that day?"

"Stop beating me up," Shen Yao said impatiently, holding a bundle of forsythia and flavescens, "What time is it now? Human life is at stake, and you can't protect yourself."

Shen Yao was right.

All over the city, everyone was thinking: the plague broke out, and they couldn't protect themselves.

The Huajie Liuxiang, which was once crowded with people, also became deserted in just a few days.

The beauties were so lonely that they leaned against the tall buildings and sang.They played the piano and sang: "Looking forward to longevity, fame, wealth, and happiness every day. Laughing at the world of mortals, laughing at spring dreams, laughing at infatuation, laughing at people who get drunk every night..."

The one who stands out the most among them is none other than the number one Qilan girl.Qilan held on to the railing and threw down a gauze handkerchief, which happened to be picked up by a passing man.

The man had clear and handsome features, was tall and slender, and wore an epee at his waist.He looked up at Qilan.

Qilan pulled out the golden Bu Yao hairpin from her hair, and the corner of her lips touched the Bu Yao hairpin.The smile faded from her eyes, she frowned slightly and coughed muffled.

The surrounding sisters scattered.A certain girl cautiously asked, "Qilan, do you have heart palpitations?"

Qilan deliberately frightened her: "My heart is beating so fast."

There was laughter everywhere.Qilan put a piece of cotton cloth on her face, and chased and played with everyone: "Run, everyone, run faster! Anyone caught by me must be careful."

The field of vision is black and silent, like nightfall.

Qilan was unsteady and was about to fall to the ground. When she was about to hit the ground, she scrambled and grabbed a piece of cold sleeve.Then, she got her wish, and heard the man's voice: "My servant, Duan Wuhen from Liangzhou's family."

Duan Wuhen stuffed the handkerchief into her arms: "Girl's handkerchief, don't throw it away."

The author has something to say: Master’s poems and the beauty’s songs are all written by me...forgive me

☆, vendetta

Duan Wuhen is young, elegant and handsome, he was born in a famous martial arts family, and he is also a well-known chivalrous man.

Legend has it that Duan Wuhen's father passed on to him the "Wuhen Sword", which cuts iron like mud.But he is restrained by nature, keeps a low profile, and never strikes in front of others... Therefore, what level Duan Wuhen's swordsmanship has reached is still an unsolved mystery in the world.

Qilan has heard his name for a long time, but has never seen him.Today, as soon as she tasted what she wanted, she couldn't hide the shame in her eyes, so she covered her face with a gauze, not like a romantic oiran in a party, but more like a little girl next door who peeped at her lover.

Duan Wuhen didn't look at her, but asked: "Is Young Master Chu there?"

Qilan lowered her head and said, "Please follow me."

Qilan waved her sleeves, her clothes fluttering in the wind.Duan Wuhen followed behind her, through a side door, towards an even more remote inner room.

There are no windows and no skylight inside.

There is only one lantern hanging on the beam of the house, standing alone, and the solitary shadows form a pair.The lantern is unusual and worthy of careful inspection. It seems to be made of a piece of yellow leather, which is thin in color and moderately soft and hard.

Duan Wuhen put his left hand on the sword around his waist and asked, "Human skin? Mr. Chu is very interested."

Chu Kairong caressed the title page of a book, and said with a smile: "I have the guts to kill people, but I don't have the guts to peel them."

Duan Wuhen sat opposite him: "Why did you come to me?"

A velvet blanket was spread on the ground, Chu Kairong's left leg was stretched out, his right leg was bent, his wrist rested on his knee, and his posture was relaxed and leisurely.He drank half a jug of fine wine by himself, and suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Duan, you have been holding the hilt of your sword since you entered the door. Could it be that in your eyes, I, Chu, is a villain who cheats behind his back?"

Duan Wuhen's back was as straight as green bamboo.His breath is calm, his pulse is unpredictable, he is indeed a master among masters, in terms of internal strength alone, he is far stronger than Chu Kairong.

Therefore, he said: "Yesterday, I stayed outside the city until late at night, and climbed over the city wall of Anjiang City, just to... see Brother Chu. Even if it was to compete with Brother Chu in martial arts, this trip was not in vain. .”

Chu Kairong looked at Qilan and raised his arms.

Qilan understood what Chu Kairong meant.She lowered her eyes and raised her eyebrows, knelt down beside him in submission, and rubbed ink for him.

Chu Kairong said with satisfaction: "The red sleeve adds fragrance."

He held Qilan's willow slender waist tightly with one hand, slightly turned the wine glass with the other hand, and said, "My mother heard that the previous head of the Jialan Sect lived in seclusion in Anjiang City..."

Before Chu Kairong finished speaking, Qilan Momo's fingers trembled suddenly.

A silk handkerchief of Qilan was on the table, stained with ink.She quickly smoothed things over, "I can't ask for a handkerchief."

Before the words finished, Duan Wuhen drew his sword out of its sheath.

He put the long sword on the table, borrowed Qilan's handkerchief, and wiped the sword.Only then did Qilan notice that Duan Wuhen's sword was stained with two drops of blood.

Chu Kairong said indifferently: "Where did the blood come from?"

Duan Wuhen lowered his head slightly, and replied truthfully: "When I came, I saw a pair of brothers and sisters lying on the street coughing up blood. The younger sister was sobbing against the wall, and her older brother begged me to draw the sword and give them a good time. Let them catch up with their parents sooner."

Chu Kairong clapped his hands and praised: "You kill two people, and there are only two drops of blood on the sword."

Duan Wuhen nodded and said: "If I kill ten people, the sword will not be stained with blood."

At first, Qilan didn't understand what Duan Wuhen meant.Then, she had a flash of inspiration and remembered that there were eight sisters outside the side door of the inner room.Those eight girls, together with Qilan and Chu Kairong, made exactly ten people.

The more Qilan thought about it, the more frightened she became.When seeing Duan Wuhen for the first time, the charming spring love secretly in my heart disappeared in this instant.

Chu Kairong smiled unabated: "I know you are powerful in martial arts, and you are the son of a sword fairy, a superb master, okay? Speaking of what I just said, the previous leader of the Jialan Sect lived in seclusion in An Jiangcheng. He is carrying the "Sky King Kong Jue" in the Sutra Pavilion, which is what my mother wants."

Duan Wuhen put his sword back into its sheath, and asked back: "What does it have to do with me?"

Chu Kairong was solemn, and spread his palms out: "The old head of Jialan Sect has two treasures, one is "Sky King Kong Jue", and the other is his Guangbing Sword."

Duan Wuhen stood up slowly: "Although I am a sword idiot, I don't steal people's favors."

Chu Kairong drew the scabbard of the Guangbing Sword on the paper: "During the Warring States period, a vision fell from the sky and a strange rock fell. The rock was extremely hard and glowed with black light. The princes ordered people to sharpen the sword with the stone for 20 years. , Jiancheng, named Guangbing."

Duan Wuhen turned his back to Chu Kairong.In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the corner, and asked, "Chu Yizhan, you invited me here to sneak attack the old head of the Jialan Sect and steal his treasures?"

"It's not what a gentleman did," Chu Kairong shook his head and sighed, "I invite you here, and I want you to help me find the old man. I will personally negotiate terms with him and make a good relationship."

Chu Kairong held Qilan in his arms, stroked her soft black hair, and said in a low voice: "The city is plagued by diseases, but I have three friends with excellent medical skills. This plague is about to come to an end."

Chu Kairong trusted Wei Lingfeng and the others so much, but they didn't know it.

Shen Yao and Wei Lingfeng took turns decocting the medicine and stayed up all night.Xu Xingxiu was so sleepy that he took time to take a nap. When he woke up, it was broad daylight, and several servants from the government stood in front of the medicine shop, asking in a warm voice, "Is Doctor Wei there?"

Wei Lingfeng carried the barrel and stepped out of the steps: "Let's go."

Inside the wooden barrel, there are countless pills.Shen Yao, Xu Xingxiu, Wei Lingfeng, and those government servants were all carrying bags and were divided into multiple groups to deliver medicines from door to door.

According to the regulations of the government, anyone who died in the family must turn over the body and deal with it uniformly by the government.

However, Shen Yao discovered that the common people mostly regard "the dead as the greatest", and pay attention to "entering the earth for peace".Unwilling to hand over the bodies of their relatives, they secretly held a funeral at home, with white cloth and mournful cries.

This is not good, Shen Yao thought to himself.If the living cannot avoid contact with the dead, then the bunch of pills they sent by the alchemy medicine will be in vain.

Fortunately, Shen Yao also met several families who were in urgent need of medical treatment not long after the onset of the disease.Shen Yao listened to them, left behind the pills, and left with his deep achievements and fame.

Everyone was very grateful, and even an old woman said: "Youth is kind and kind, and the heart of a Bodhisattva is good. If you accumulate virtue and accumulate blessings, you should have good luck."

Shen Yao laughed it off.

In the evening, he was tired and hungry, so he took a break on the side of the street and ate a steamed bun, then set foot on the long road again.

The sunset is dusk, the sky will be late.

Shen Yao pushed open the door of a house and smelled a foul smell.There was an old man lying on his back in the courtyard, no longer breathing.

The old man was white-haired, his eyes were wide open, and he was as terrifying as a copper bell.He was wearing coarse linen clothes, his wrists and palms were covered with thick calluses, and there were bloodstains on his lips and cheeks. He should be infected with a disease... But his fatal injury came from a deep knife mark on his neck.

Shen Yao half knelt beside the old man.

After a while, he heard footsteps in the house.

A person came out of the house.

Shen Yao knew who he was—the King of the East Street, Wu Jiuyi.

That day in front of the pharmacy, Wei Lingfeng's copper coins were spilled on the street. Wu Jiuyi not only picked up the money, but also beat Shen Yao severely.

Shen Yao remembered that he once said: Three days later, if you have a sudden illness, I will never save you.

Alas, be a good person, Shen Yao thought to himself.

The kind of guy who walks the talk.

So, with his hands behind his hands, Shen Yao pretended not to see Wu Jiuyi, turned around and was about to walk out of the courtyard.However, he was carrying a pair of luggage and a doctor's cloth bag, and there was a strong smell of medicine all over his body, which couldn't escape Wu Jiuyi's nose at all.

Wu Jiuyi yelled at him, "Stop!"

Shen Yao sneered and said: "Your grandfather, I come whenever I want, and leave whenever I want. You are a fart, how dare you let me stop?"

A flying knife slashed across Shen Yao's shoulder, cutting off a handful of his hair.He held his breath and looked back at Wu Jiuyi.

Wu Jiuyi sat on the stone bench, spread out the remaining three knives, with blood on his lips, and said with a smile in the blood: "I will leave your life behind when you leave."

Shen Yao put his hands into his sleeves and held the dagger.

He approached Wu Jiuyi slowly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "The old man in the courtyard, did you kill him?"

"Yes." Wu Jiuyi admitted.

Shen Yao frowned: "Does he have a grudge against you? Are you going to kill someone?"

Wu Jiuyi pointed to the wound on his body: "Stop talking nonsense. Come here and check my pulse, stop the bleeding, and treat the injury, or I will kill you immediately."

With that said, Wu Jiuyi grabbed the handle of the knife and shook it threateningly.

Shen Yao quickly bent down: "Calm your anger."

He unpacked his bag and put it on the stone table.Then, he stood beside Wu Jiuyi, and took a pulse at random—as expected by Shen Yao, Wu Jiuyi was seriously injured, bleeding profusely, and his internal organs were shattered by the shock.

Wu Jiuyi observed Shen Yao's expression, and felt bad.

With a sigh of relief, he raised his hand to touch the knife.Shen Yao noticed his subtle movements, brushed away all the knives with his sleeves, and kicked Wu Jiuyi's abdomen.

Wu Jiuyi kept vomiting blood, and said bitterly, "Okay, I'll take your dog's life away now..."

Shen Yao couldn't tell if he was bluffing or if he had already made up his mind to kill.

Shen Yao lifted the stone bench and hit Wu Jiuyi on the forehead, and the man was still cursing.

The dirty blood stained the soil, Shen Yao took out his dagger and stabbed him in the neck while he turned over, with the handle down, deeply cutting Wu Jiuyi's flesh.There are dense bones, hidden in the vague blood.

Wu Jiuyi didn't even cry out in pain, he opened his eyes and died on the spot.

Shen Yao pulled out the dagger, his palm was stained with blood.

He kills for the first time.

He thought to himself: If Wu Jiuyi doesn't die, then he dies, according to the rules of the world, there is no distinction between right and wrong.

Shen Yao picked up his bags and was about to go out when he suddenly remembered that he should check the courtyard to prevent himself from missing something and being traced as a murderer by the government servants.

Shen Yao walked back and forth, and found a long and narrow cloth bag by the wall.Opening it, there was a copy of "Sky King Kong Jue" and a long sword with a pitch-black scabbard and a cold body.

He put all these things in his bag, and decided to go back and study them secretly, so that he escaped death today in vain.

There was a light rain at night, the mist was dense, and the rain was hazy.

Huang Banxia stood guard at the door of his father's room, waiting left and right, and finally waited until Wei Lingfeng opened the door and came out.

The lanterns in the corridors were all extinguished, and darkness lurked throughout the mansion.Huang Banxia's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, secretly suppressing her depression.

"What happened to my father?" Huang Banxia asked eagerly.

Wei Lingfeng took a few steps forward before replying, "No good."

Huang Banxia followed him closely: "I don't see you? You are a big disciple of the alchemy school, you must have a solution, right?"

Wei Lingfeng didn't sleep for several days in a row, and there was a faint bruise in his eyes.But he has a handsome appearance, a free and easy manner, and his white clothes are ethereal under the dim moonlight, like a pure person in the world.

If it is said that he is detached from the mundane world and has no desires or desires, Huang Banxia also believes it.

However, Wei Lingfeng said sadly like a helpless mortal: "There is nothing I can do to help."

Huang Banxia's throat was sore, she grabbed his skirt: "What did you say?"

Wei Lingfeng replied one sentence at a time: "My father's heart disease is still unhealed, he is infected with an epidemic, hepatic and intestinal obstruction... I can't even prescribe medicine for him. He knows that the end of his life is approaching, so he asked me to tell you that he will devote himself to studying medicine and benefit Ze people."

The rain hit the plantains in the courtyard, making a rustling sound.

Yellow pinellia rushed into the rain.The water dripped on his head, and he didn't recover after a long time. He could only mutter to himself: "Doctor Wei, are you lying to me? Are you kidding me?"

Seeing tears in his eyes and bulging veins on his forehead, Wei Lingfeng just casually comforted him: "Brother Huang, my condolences will change."

Wei Lingfeng has been a doctor for more than ten years and is used to watching life and death.He has seen a young woman with dystocia die twice, and her husband who loves her so much weeps and coughs up blood from his heart.He has also seen a couple of middle-aged couples suddenly die of serious illness and die, leaving their helpless young children behind.

Although he talked about "benevolence and kindness" and taught Shen Yao carefully, he was a little numb in nature.Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in the world, and it is impossible to change one's fate by one person alone.

Wei Lingfeng didn't speak again, turned around and left.

Braving the cold wind and rain, Huang Banxia finally lost all strength and fell to the muddy ground.

Outside the wing, Xu Xingxiu called him: "Huang Banxia, ​​are you free? Come out and help."

The rain poured into my ears.Huang Banxia's clothes were soaked, clinging to her body.The boy's body was thin and thin, trembling slightly in the cold night, he didn't make any sound, so Xu Xingxiu didn't enter the door, and detoured through the door.

Xu Xingxiu muttered, "Why hasn't Shen Yao come back yet?"

There was a long queue outside the pharmacy.Many people held oil-paper umbrellas, or wore coir raincoats, and rushed over from Beicheng on a special trip.

But the pharmacy ran out of pills.Wei Lingfeng, Xu Xingxiu and others were busy while waiting for Shen Yao.After another half an hour, Shen Yao finally appeared in front of them with a package in his arms.

Wei Lingfeng raised his left hand and wiped the rainwater from Shen Yao's head with his clean sleeve: "Little brother, do you still have any pills?"

"Nope," Shen Yao smiled at him, "I distributed them to the patients."

Said, Shen Yao also went to pull Wei Lingfeng's wrist.

Wei Lingfeng paused suddenly.He stared at Shen Yao's cuff for a long time, and even turned over Shen Yao's palm.

Following Wei Lingfeng's line of sight, Shen Yao noticed...the inside of his cuff was stained with blood.

"Whose?" Wei Lingfeng asked him.

In fact, Wei Lingfeng only said two words.But he changed from his usual modesty and gentleness, and his aura suddenly became fierce.Sensing the subtle change, Shen Yao quickly said, "Oh, a patient coughed up blood and spilled it on my clothes."

Wei Lingfeng shook off his package: "Your pulse suddenly fluctuates and is strong, rapid and irregular. In front of me, Yao, you still want to lie?"

Shen Yao clenched his fists and shouted, "Elder brother..."

Wei Lingfeng was a little sad: "Don't call me senior brother. Brothers from the same school should be one. Even if you have something to say, you can't speak it directly, so don't use excuses to deceive me."

This time, Shen Yao was really anxious.He picked up the package with his left hand, grabbed Wei Lingfeng tightly with his right hand, and dragged him back to his room.

Shen Yao lit a candle.When the flames were extinguished and jumping, Shen Yao opened the cloth bag, took out the well-bound "Sky King Kong Jue", and placed it in front of Wei Lingfeng.Before the other sword was taken out, Wei Lingfeng asked, "Why is the Guangbing sword in your hand?"

Shen Yao whispered to him: "I picked it up today."

Wei Lingfeng flattened his left palm, and lightly stroked it on the table: "The "Sky King Kong Jue" and the Guangbing Sword are treasures of the Wulin Cangjing Pavilion, which are guarded day and night by masters from the eight major sects, so you can pick them up if you want of?"

Shen Yao wondered: "I don't know either. I passed by a remote house today and was about to go in to deliver medicine. I saw an old man lying on the ground, dead for more than half an hour."

Wei Lingfeng flipped through "Tianxiao King Kong Jue", and asked him again: "Do you remember the old man's appearance?"

"Remember, remember!" Shen Yao described, "White eyebrows and long hair, a scar on the right cheek, and a mole at the corner of the left eye."

Wei Lingfeng nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Shen Yao was surprised and said, "Brother, do you know him?"

"I don't know," Wei Lingfeng guessed slightly, "He is probably wearing a mask of human skin."

Shen Yao was quite emotional: "So there are really human skins and masks in the Jianghu? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Wei Lingfeng actually asked him back: "Is there anyone else around that old man?"

Shen Yao sat on a bamboo bed, and the bed frame "creaked" and shook: "There is another person in the yard, who looks like a burglar. His name is Wu Jiuyi. On the street that day, Wu Jiuyi stole your copper coins. He asked for justice and was immediately beaten up by him."

Wei Lingfeng seemed to be in deep thought, but didn't answer for a while.

Seeing him like that, Shen Yao said without hesitation: "Wu Jiuyi was killed by me."

Wei Lingfeng raised his head suddenly: "Have you learned how to kill?"

Shen Yao lay down heavily on the back: "Don't scold me, senior brother. Ever since I entered the door, Wu Jiuyi threatened to take my dog's life away. I had an old grudge with him first. If he can't cure his evil disease, he must They will attack me. Besides, there was an old man lying in the yard, and Wu Jiuyi was seriously injured. If Wu Jiuyi ran to the Yamen, sued me for killing the old man, and claimed how weak he was, I would have jumped into the Yellow River. Unclear."

In fact, the moment Shen Yao started to kill, he was not without fear in his heart.

The ancestral secret training of their alchemy school has only five words: the heart of a doctor's parents.

Over the years, Shen Yao has always kept in mind.

If Wu Jiuyi hadn't threatened him again and again, Shen Yao would never have been able to kill him with one blow.He felt unspeakably sleepy, so he could only open the quilt, cover his waist, and said: "Brother, I'll sleep for a quarter of an hour, you call me if you have something to do."

Wei Lingfeng sat at the head of his bed, his voice was so low that it was hard to hear: "The world is dangerous, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Wu Jiuyi is used to doing evil, and today's life is exhausted. No matter what, he won't live until tomorrow."

Shen Yao yawned: "He killed that old man, I will kill him on behalf of the old man, is it fair?"

Wei Lingfeng patted him on the forehead: "It conforms to the rules of the world."

Shen Yao lay down on the innermost part of the bamboo bed, leaving a large vacancy: "Brother, you come too, let's sleep together for a while. Have you not slept for a few days? The room in this pharmacy is much better than the inn. Xu Xingxiu He also said that the county magistrate promised the Huang family that after the plague is over... a reward will be given to them."

Wei Lingfeng was lying on Shen Yao's left side, their arms were touching and their shoulders were touching.Through a thin layer of clothing, Shen Yao's drowsiness gradually subsided, and his whole body became energetic again, just like eating some refreshing herbal medicine.

Wei Lingfeng was really tired, so he said slowly: "I'll keep that Guangbing sword for you first. This sword is one of the most evil things in the world. Thousands of people died during the sword sacrifice. , as soon as the sword is out of its sheath, there will be blood."

Shen Yao hugged him: "Brother, that is really Guangbing Sword? How can you be sure?"

Wei Lingfeng just warned him again and again: "A third-rate swordsman can become a first-rate swordsman if he gets the Guangbing Sword. There are too many people in the world who want it. Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. Except for me, don't tell me. The second person includes your senior brother Xu Xingxiu."

Shen Yao turned over and sat up. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Lingfeng pressed his head with one hand: "Lie down."

Shen Yao didn't listen to him.

Wei Lingfeng pressed him back again with force: "Let you lie down, aren't you tired? Let's rest for a while."

But Shen Yao said: "Senior brother, I want to read that copy of "Sky King Kong Jue"."

Wei Lingfeng stuffed the book back into his hand: "I just finished reading Chapter 1. With your foundation in martial arts, if you start rashly, you will definitely go crazy."

Shen Yao laughed and said, "Hey, I don't have any foundation in martial arts? I can't even do the horseback riding."

Wei Lingfeng closed his eyes: "A master's martial arts foundation is not achieved in a day. You just need to practice hard, and one day, when you have mastered the Tianxiao King Kong Jue, any school in the world will be regarded as the first!" A top-notch character."

Shen Yao frowned and thought: "Brother?"

Wei Lingfeng responded: "What's the matter? You just say it's okay."

Shen Yao crossed his arms: "Why do you know so much about the gossip in Jianghu?"

Wei Lingfeng blew out the oil lamp by the bed.In the dark, he answered without distraction: "The more I understand, the less you will suffer. There are so many juniors in the sect, but you are the only one that worries me the most."

☆, funeral

Shen Yao half-lyed on his side, and replied: "Have you never cared so much for other juniors?"

Wei Lingfeng was half asleep and half awake, and said vaguely: "They...they are different from you."

Shen Yao smiled and asked, "What's the difference? Aren't we all men?"

He straightened up and sat up.The bamboo bed was not strong enough, and with his movements, the whole bed frame swayed slightly.

The evening wind was silent, and the rain did not stop.

Shen Yao didn't wait for Wei Lingfeng's reply.He saw a tall figure outside the window, got out of bed quickly, and shouted, "Senior Brother Xu?"

Xu Xingxiu pushed open his room door: "I was just asking, where did Shen Yao go? So he ran back to his room to be lazy?"

Shen Yao closed the cloth bag on the table, blocking the Guangbing Sword and the "Sky King Kong Jue".

He held Xu Xingxiu's shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, brother, I'll apologize to you. After running around a few streets today, my legs felt weak, and I lay down and slept for a quarter of an hour..."

Xu Xingxiu looked at the bed in the corner, and teased, "You actually dragged senior brother onto the bed?"

Wei Lingfeng stood up with his clothes on, and walked towards him step by step.As soon as the three of them met, they naturally chatted about what they had seen during the day.Shen Yao insisted that the people in the city were unwilling to hand over the remains of their relatives.They must find a way to solve this problem.

How to do it?

Wei Lingfeng thought about it: "Choose someone and set an example."

Xu Xingxiu touched his chin: "You mean, find a corpse that died suddenly, and have it cremated gracefully in front of the common people?"

"This corpse can't be an ordinary corpse," Shen Yao waved his hand and interjected, "It's better to be...a person with a head and a face in Anjiang City."

As the saying goes: Legal principles do not show mercy.But right now, the plague is rampant in Anjiang City, and people are panicking.If a few examples of cremation can be found, supplemented by the "orders and prohibitions" of the officials, the plague will definitely be eradicated in a short time.

Therefore, Wei Lingfeng found the old servant of the pharmacy and asked him: "In Anjiang City, which high-ranking official has the highest reputation?"

The old servant was dumb, and he kept gesturing in sign language.Both Shen Yao and Xu Xingxiu didn't understand, only Wei Lingfeng sighed and said, "That's fine, please convey it for me."
