Alternative Jianghu Adventures

Chinese medicine consultation has always been expected to hear, ask and cut four opinions. Most doctors at least carry a consultation bag with them when they travel around the rivers and lakes. Diagnosis needles are indispensable.

Even the imperial doctor in the court, the highest praise is "diagnosing the pulse with a silk thread", like He Lianqiu who can see the disease with just a glance - and who started making tea before he actually saw Qiao Anyue Judging from the behavior - not uncommon, but, heard, what, not, heard.

... Really, a good person.

The vigilance in Xia Yun's heart suddenly relaxed, even if she only had a short contact, she really couldn't have any way to be wary of the owner of Baicao Valley in front of her.

People who walk around the rivers and lakes and fight on the tip of their knives have a special temperament. Even Qiao Anyue, who has only practiced a little boxing kung fu, can tell that they are different from ordinary people.

Whether it's the walking posture, or the unintentional power and influence, or the calluses on the hands that have been ground with weapons all the year round, they can all be seen.No matter how good the disguise is, there will be times when negligence is recognized.

It's fine if you don't have bad intentions. Once you have thoughts, your words and expressions will definitely reveal it. The so-called murderous intent is an invisible warning that can be seen clearly.

But He Lianqiu... From the moment of contact to now, Xia Yun and Qiao Anyue's whole person feels like this "clear stream", giving people a kind of softness like moistening rain.

He Lianqiu smiled slightly, and shifted his gaze to Xia Yun, "There's nothing in yours, don't worry drink it."

"That..." Xia Yun sneered, "Actually, I'm a little curious. You are so far away from the secret passage, how can you see the two of us?"

"It's just a gadget."

He Lianqiu took Xia Yun to the side of the table, and Xia Yun noticed a long wooden object about half a person's height on the table.

Put it on the square table, the eye opening just meets the eyes of a tall person like He Lianqiu.

Xia Yun stooped slightly to look in, and what came into his eyes was a mirror that had been polished to a clear surface, and the entrance of the tunnel could just be clearly seen inside the mirror.

"Cheng Zhe called it a thousand-fold mirror." He Lianqiu explained, "Actually, there are such small mirrors along the corridor, conveying the scene here layer by layer."

Although Xia Yun dislikes a certain person very much, he still has to admit that the miser's mind is indeed filled with many crooked ways.

"Well, it's convenient for me to ask... how much did you Baicao Valley pay him to make these things?" Xia Yun asked tentatively.

"No money."

"Sure enough, I knew this guy would accept..." Before Xia Yun finished his prepared speech, he immediately realized that his voice raised a few degrees, "What? It didn't cost money! This! No! Yes! Yes!"

"Second Master Cheng, you are so generous to my sister!" Wan'er interjected, and said triumphantly: "Second Master Cheng and my sister are childhood sweethearts, and they think of my sister for everything good. This city of organs is him. Jian, you are not allowed to slander him!"

Xia Yun: "..."

Was she sure she was talking about Cheng Zhe?

"Wan'er, don't mess around." He Lianqiu scolded, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, which made it hard to believe her sincerity: "Go and tell the kitchen staff to check the progress of the dinner, don't make trouble here gone."

Wan'er made a grimace, glanced at Xia Yun with a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes, and walked out in two or three steps with the palace lantern in hand, not at all as cold and arrogant as when they first met.

Fickle woman.

Xia Yun snorted.

"Sorry, don't mind," Helian Qiu smiled, "On weekdays, that child is the only one who talks to me, and I didn't let her learn the worldly rules outside."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way," Xia Yun waved her hand, her curiosity was entirely on the "female relationship" between the valley owner and Cheng Zhe.

It was the first time for her to meet someone who could make a miser less than her cost, and she couldn't help gossiping, "Speaking of which, what's your relationship with Shou...Cheng Zhe? The little girl named Wan'er said, you two are childhood sweethearts? "

"For now." Xu Shi mentioned Cheng Zhe, and He Lianqiu's eyes softened even more.

Qiao Anyue, who watched coldly from the sidelines and focused on studying other people's expressions for more than ten years, could tell at a glance that these were a pair of eyes that mentioned the love hidden in the heart of her sweetheart.

"I have been physically weak since I was a child, even if I was born in Baicao Valley, I can't completely eradicate it, I can only barely use good medicinal materials to hang my breath.

Cheng Zhe also suffered from leg problems from birth, and his mother searched for medicine everywhere, and finally found the hidden Baicao Valley.But at that time, I took all the medicines that Baicao Valley could treat Cheng Zhe, and my father felt ashamed of his mother, so he proposed to take him to Guzhong to try his best to relieve him.

The two of us are like two medicine jars in the valley.Although his legs are still unable to walk, they are not much different from ordinary people in appearance, but I am still the same.

Because he couldn't walk since he was a child, his favorite thing was to hide in the house and play with his pile of wood.Sometimes when my health is better, I will sit by and watch.

When he was a little older, he was forcibly taken back to Cheng's house by his father, and his legs were delayed like this.It's just that from time to time, people will send some medicinal materials and some wooden toys that are also exhausted in the valley. The attached letter says that they know that I don't like crowds, and they are afraid that I will be lonely, so they try their best to help me pass some boring days. "

Xia Yun listened to He Lianqiu's indifferent narration, and then he sketched Cheng Zhe's appearance when he was a child in his mind, and felt a chill without thinking about it.

...the contrast is too great to accept.

From Helian Qiu's mouth, what kind of bastard is Cheng Zhe who cheats money everywhere?She is clearly a model of talent and beauty in the storybook, childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, sounds like a romantic and suave appearance.

"I became a doctor after a long illness, but I couldn't heal myself. As I grew older and became weaker, I had to hand over the affairs of Guli to my sister slowly, and only occasionally came forward when I encountered a particularly difficult patient.

A few years ago, he took me here from Baicao Valley. After all, Baicao Valley has a lot of contacts. , but I just... can't bear to watch those people being tortured. "

He Lianqiu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Probably because I have been deeply aware of it for a long time, and I thought that if I can save one person, it is only one person."

"But Cheng Zhe didn't think so, after discussing with the elders in Gu Nei, he built a Xiaobaicao as my recuperating place - this is it.

He said it was to save me from worrying about it, and told me that he had found a clue to the medicine that could save me, so let me recuperate here, and don't think about anything else. "

"...So Cheng Zhe has been collecting money crazily in the past few years just to help you find medicine?" Xia Yun thought about it, and immediately connected the cause and effect.

He Lianqiu nodded and smiled wryly, "How could there be such a medicine? Only the legendary 'End of the World' in the Pharmacopoeia can cure my ailment. But for so many years, no one has seen it, let alone a clue. "

"The End of the World... what is it?" Xia Yun asked.

"It is said that the blind herb that can revive the dead, flesh and bones, if ordinary people eat it, it will not be a problem to increase their lifespan by 30 years." Qiao Anyue explained.

"I read it in the Pharmacopoeia before. This medicine has no name, and the record only mentions the place where it grows, Tianya Haijiao—hence the name."

Xia Yun pouted, "The end of the world... the corner of the sea..."

I always feel very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

She thought about it for a while, but she couldn't figure it out. She felt that maybe she remembered it wrong, so she stopped thinking about it.

"Dinner is here!" Wan'er entered the door carrying a wooden tray, "I let them all go down, this room can't accommodate so many people."

There are two bowls of warm porridge on the wooden plate, with a faint aroma.

"Big fish and meat will accumulate food at such a late hour." Wan'er put the wooden plate on the table, a little aggrieved, "It's almost three o'clock! It's all because of your reckless intrusion, otherwise my sister will go to bed early Yes! Now I have to stay up all night to entertain your sister, what if I vomit blood?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Helian Qiu coughed again and again.

"...I'm really sorry." Xia Yun apologized, "We didn't think about..."

"It's okay." He Lianqiu calmly took back the hemoptysis veil, "It's been a long time since anyone came to this place, and... I really want to hear about that guy. The last time he came back was half a year ago. "

Qiao Anyue had already sat down with Xia Yun, ready to eat.

"I see that you are very skilled in sealing poison, have you learned it before?"

"Know a thing or two." Qiao Anyue nodded, seeing Helian Qiu's smiling face, her heart tightened.

Her doctor and poisonist was an old gentleman who served as a guest minister in the palace medical bureau, and his real identity was a well-known elder in Baicao Valley.

Baicao Valley has never entered the imperial court and ignored political affairs, but this elder was an exception. It is said that he had to agree to serve as a guest minister for ten years because he wanted to obtain the rare and precious medicinal materials unique to the palace.

Judging from He Lianqiu's narration just now, maybe it was for curing He Lianqiu's illness that he condescended to enter the palace.

"You Lao told you that this technique of sealing the pulse with one finger is his original creation?" He Lianqiu took a sip of tea, and reminded unhurriedly,

"I've always heard that Mr. You has a direct disciple who is not in the valley, but he refuses to say his name, only talks about his activities outside, and according to his personality, he will not reveal anything about Baicao Valley to you. information."

Qiao Anyue tensed up, she didn't expect that there was such a relationship.

Since Mr. You will report to Baicao Valley...then, will He Lianqiu also know her true identity?

While Qiao Anyue was worried that He Lianqiu's identity as a killer would be exposed, Xia Yun had long been worried that Mu Zhi's identity would be exposed in front of Qiao Anyue, so she kept looking for other topics to try to divert Helianqiu's attention.

See the picture poorly.

This is an ending that neither side wants to see.

At least not yet.

Qiao Anyue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her temples on her forehead thumped, and her back was covered with cold sweat.

She touched the tip of her tongue lightly, trying to wake herself up, secretly thinking that it was not good——

Damn it!Why at such a time...

Obviously, it has been silent for so many days and has not appeared...

There were countless revolving lanterns in her mind without warning, and the bustling voices from all directions made her not even hear what Helian Qiu said just now!

However, He Lianqiu didn't seem to see through the inner struggle of the two of them, and said casually, "The porridge is getting cold, you two, drink it quickly."

The two of them finished drinking with evil intentions, just when He Lianqiu ordered Wan'er to arrange a guest room, Qiao Anyue finally couldn't hold on anymore.

Gritting his teeth, he was disturbed by the turbulent images in his mind so that he couldn't tell the north, south, south, east, and north. His eyes were darkened, and he fell to the ground with a thud while holding on to the door frame!
