Time passed bit by bit, but there was still no movement in the room next door, which meant that the treatment of Yan Hong by the master of the medicine hall was not over yet.
Ah Tian's eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul, he stared blankly at the wall.
Thinking of the scene in the dungeon just now, Yan Hong was lying in her arms covered in blood, as quiet as a lifeless puppet, Ah Tian couldn't help shivering with fear.
She didn't want to, she really didn't want to suffer the pain of losing a precious person again.
The two people with their own concerns were in a daze in the room, and after an unknown amount of time, the door of the next room finally opened, the master of the medicine hall could hardly hide his exhaustion, and the white hair on his head seemed to be even more.
"Hall master!" Ah Tian rushed over immediately, unable to hold back his excitement, he held his hand tightly and asked, "Hall master Yanhong, how is she?"
The master of the medicine hall glanced at her, and sighed helplessly, "Fate is barely saved, but the situation is still not optimistic. She was injured too badly, and she didn't treat the wound in time. It is estimated that even if she recovers, the root cause of the disease will fall. son."
Ah Tian lowered his eyes, his expression was a little dim.
No matter what, it's not bad to save your life.
"Can I go in and see her?" Ah Tian asked nervously.
The master of the medicine hall didn't understand what was going on between Ah Tian and Yan Hong, but seeing her worried expression, he really couldn't bear to refuse, "Go, be careful."
"Thank you!" After receiving permission, Ah Tian's expression softened a little, and he turned around and rushed into the room.
Tao Hua knew that she was concerned about Yan Hong, so she closed the door intimately, leaving some private space for them to have a private conversation.
"Master, Hall Master." Tao Hua went up to meet her, and asked, "Hall Master Yan Hong is so hurt, what should we do now?"
Dongfang Wen nodded, "We've already discussed it. Yan Hong's injury is too serious to travel far, so I plan to let Ah Tian and Uncle Bian stay and take care of her."
"What about us?"
"We're leaving tomorrow to return to the city."
"Go to Guicheng?" Taohua was stunned for a moment, Guan Fusha and her father went for the martial arts cheats, and Ye Shenjiao was in Yancheng, how could they go to Guicheng?
"That's right." Dongfang Wen said, "Qiyong has been controlled by him, and the key to open the secret room is equivalent to having fallen into his hands. But just having the key to open the secret room is not enough, because the martial arts cheats have been released to the world. In the safe made by the first lock. If he wants to open this safe, he must find the number one lock in the world. Just as Baidao is holding a martial arts conference, the number one lock in the world should also appear."
"Safety box?" Tao Hua's expression was a bit strange, this word should be a modern word, how could it come out of an ancient man's mouth?
Dongfang Wen didn't think too much about it, thinking that Taohua didn't understand the meaning of a safe, so he explained, "It's just a small box with a lock."
"..." Looking at Dongfang Wen suspiciously, Taohua asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the leader, I don't know the word 'safety box', where did you hear it?"
"Huh?" Dongfang Wen couldn't understand why Taohua asked this question, "Why do you ask like this?"
"I... just curious." After a pause, Taohua added, "Because I've never heard of this word before."
"Oh, it was invented by my master and No. [-] lock in the world." After thinking for a while, Dongfang Wen said again: "It seems that master called that thing a safe at the beginning."
"..."
Dare to love Dongfang to hear that Master and she are fellow villagers?
Noticing that Taohua's expression was different, Dongfang Wen frowned lightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Taohua changed the subject in a panic, "Then what should I do, Senior Sister? Aren't we here to save Senior Sister this time? If his next goal is to become the number one lock in the martial arts competition, then he should If we don’t bring Senior Sister with us, wouldn’t it be even more difficult for us to find her?”
"Don't worry." Dongfang Wen comforted: "If you don't eat tiger poison, no matter how vicious he is, he won't attack Fusha. What's more, only by finding him now can we find out where he hid Fusha .”
After hearing this, Taohua remained silent, and only hoped so in her heart.
In the bright red room.
Ah Tian found a chair and sat down beside Yan Hong's bed, carefully scrutinized her sleeping face, and suddenly felt that her appearance was a little strange.
At this time, she remembered that she had never looked at Yanhong's face seriously.
On weekdays, she always wears gorgeous makeup, like a blooming rose, eye-catching.And now this face is so pale that there is not a trace of blood, as if staying here is already the greatest gift from heaven.
Tears slid down from the corners of her eyes involuntarily again, and Ah Tian restrained herself from sobbing, for fear of disturbing her sweet dreams.
Holding her pale face with trembling little hands, Ah Tian just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her sleeping face, without closing his eyes all night.
The next day.
Dongfang Wen set off early in the morning with Tao Hua, while the master of the medicine hall and Ah Tian followed the original plan and stayed at the inn to take care of the seriously injured Yan Hong.
Guicheng and Yuancheng are a little closer, so it didn't take that much time to go there.
In order to save time, they did not use a carriage, but traveled lightly. If they just arrived at the town at night, they would find an inn to stay; if they were unlucky, they could only spend the night in the wilderness.
Just like now.Fortunately, they managed to find a ruined temple.
"Let's spend the night here tonight." Dongfang Wen walked into the ruined temple first.
Taohua didn't have any doubts about this, and followed her in.Dongfang Wen has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and she is experienced and experienced. She is also used to listening to him.
The two lit a small fire and sat beside it to keep warm.It was early autumn, especially at night, when the coolness was even more obvious. For Taohua who came out in a hurry and didn't bring enough clothes, this small fire was simply a life-saving straw.
The wind outside was howling, and the small matches inside the ruined temple made a "popping" sound as they burned. Everything seemed louder in the silent space.
Dongfang Wen sat cross-legged by the fire, resting with his eyes closed.Taohua looked at the atmosphere, hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help but ask, "...Master, can I ask you something?"
After a while, Dongfang Wen slowly opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said calmly, "Is it about Fusha?"
"Yes." Taohua was not surprised that Dongfang Wen could guess it, "Is that person really the father of Senior Sister? What happened back then?"
Looking at the burning fire, Dongfang Wen seemed to be caught in his own memories.
After waiting and waiting, Dongfangwen still couldn't speak, Taohua thought that he didn't want to tell her, so she couldn't help touching her nose to make fun of herself, but unexpectedly, she heard him speak.
"I don't even remember how many years ago it was. My junior brother... Fusha's father and I fought for three days and three nights on the Cliff of Duanqing in order to fight for the position of leader. I knocked him off the cliff. , and then became the leader of the Night God Sect. When sorting out his relics, I found out that he had a daughter."
After a pause, Dongfang Wen continued: "It was born to him and a woman from a brothel. The arrival of that child was an accident for both of them. The woman from the brothel didn't want to raise the child, so she asked my junior brother to go Take that child away. My junior brother originally planned to bring the child back after he took the position of leader, but he was knocked off the cliff by me."
"Later I found the brothel woman and proposed to take the child away." Probably because he was immersed in his own memories, Dongfang Wen couldn't help looking away, "The brothel woman is a person who has an eye for money. I agreed without even asking the reason. That child may feel chilled by his mother, he didn't cry or hesitate, and just followed me away from his biological mother."
"I brought her back to the church, took her as my apprentice, and even taught her everything I had learned in my life. And she lived up to my expectations, and used her strength to seal the mouths of everyone in the church." With such a long story, the ruined temple fell into silence again.
Peach Blossom was silent.Because Guan Fusha's past seemed heavier than she thought, but she never mentioned it to herself.In fact, if Dongfang Wen didn't tell the story, she might have always thought that she was an orphan without father and mother, and her personality was just like this.
"...Does Senior Sister know that her biological father is still alive?" Tao Hua opened her mouth, her voice sounded dry.
"I haven't told her anything about her biological father, but since the two of them have already met, the younger brother should tell her everything." Dongfang Wen said lightly.
Taohua lowered her eyes, she couldn't help feeling worried about Fusha.
Suddenly knowing all the truth, can she bear it?Guan Qingya wanted to take revenge on Dongfangwen, which meant that she had to choose between her biological father and the master who raised her. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, which made her feel so uncomfortable.
"If... senior sister already knows all this, what do you think... she will do?" Tao Hua looked at Dongfang Wen's expression and asked very cautiously.
Dongfang Wen looked ahead without any disturbance in his eyes, "I believe her."
Taohua couldn't help being slightly surprised, and then she was relieved, showing a faint smile.
That's right, Guan Fusha was raised by him, how could he not believe in the child he raised?Not to mention that the child's personality was exactly the same as his. The master-student friendship between the two was probably far deeper than she thought.
After spending this long night, the genius was dim, and the two set off to continue their journey.
The martial arts conference this time was held in the Huacheng sect. Huacheng and Yue Xing, like Beikun and Tianlun, were collectively known as the four major sects of Baidao. They had a long history and many disciples.And the previous leader of the martial arts alliance was the head of the Huacheng faction, so this year's martial arts conference was held here.
It is not difficult to choose a new martial arts leader. Those who have been in Baidao for a long time know that the so-called martial arts conference is just a cover. Yes, and the so-called election means that the other three heads nominate another one, and this is the case every time.
Even so, every session of the martial arts conference is still very grand and lively, and many people from the world are present to witness this great event.In fact, in the final analysis, they just want to escape from the dull daily life and find a reason for themselves to be happy.
When I came to Guicheng again, it was even more lively than last time. The streets were full of people, and the hawkers were shouting one after another.
If you pay attention carefully, you will find that most of the people on the street are wearing swords or other weapons. It is not difficult to see that they are all people from the Jianghu.
Taohua followed Dongfangwen's footsteps closely, for fear that she would get lost.Most of the people gathered here are members of the Bai Daoist sect. If they are recognized as members of the Night God Sect, they will definitely cause trouble.
"Master, where should we go to find the number one lock in the world?" Tao Hua walked beside Dongfang Wen and asked in a low voice.
"Piaoxiang Tower." Dongfang Wen replied without turning his head.
"Piaoxianglou?" Taohua couldn't help being puzzled, why does this name sound like a place of brothels?
"Here we are." Dongfang Wen stopped in front of a luxurious pavilion.
Taohua stopped in her tracks, followed his gaze and looked up, only to see that the pavilion in front of her was five stories high and had unique decorations.As the name suggests, there is still a faint fragrance of wine floating in the air, just like the girl who is just about to bloom.In fact, there is indeed a row of chic girls standing at the door, waving their little handkerchiefs diligently, and welcoming the guests with smiles.
"This is... a brothel?" Tao Hua felt her scalp tingling, she really never thought that she would come to such a place of fireworks one day.
Dongfang Wen seemed to turn a deaf ear, and walked in, and the girls at the door came up to greet him immediately, "Oh, this old man is so face-to-face, is this the first time you come to our building?"
The voice made Taohua feel goosebumps on her body, she rubbed her cold arms, and quickly followed Dongfang Wen's footsteps.Tao Hua was dressed as a girl, she thought she would be stopped by those girls, but she didn't expect that they didn't even look at her, and continued to solicit guests on their own.
But the girl who talked to Dongfang Wen just now walked up to her, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "The girl came with this master, right? Do you need to open a separate room for you?"
Peach Blossom was blinded for a moment, and she couldn't help clicking her tongue in her heart.
I didn't expect that the brothels in this era actually provide take-out service, and you can open a room without calling a girl? !
Dongfang, who was walking in front, heard, "Well, give us a room."
The girl smiled and said, "Okay, this way please, both of you."
Entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is a wall covered with bamboo signs, with all kinds of wine written on it, which is simply dazzling.
After being seated, the girl came forward to greet her courteously, "I don't know what kind of wine my uncle usually likes to drink, I can recommend it to you."
"No need." Dongfang Wen didn't appreciate it at all, and said directly: "Just give me a signboard from your place."
"Okay, okay." It seemed that she had never been rejected so directly before. The expression on the girl's face was a little uneasy, but she quickly returned to the smile just now, "I will prepare it for you."
After that, she left the room.
Taohua looked at the bamboo sign on the wall and asked, "What is this place?"
"Wine shop."
Only then did Taohua show a clear expression, it turned out that the first lock under heaven was an alcoholic.
"But, Piaoxiang Building is so big, how can we find him?"
Dongfang Wen stood up, went to the window and opened it, looked at the bustling hall downstairs, and said calmly: "You will know soon."
After a while, the waiter in the shop brought up the wine.He put down the jug and poured a glass of wine for each of them, "You two, please use it slowly."
Dongfang Wen picked up the wine glass and sniffed it lightly, then took a sip, and said after a while, "...it's extremely unpleasant."
Both Dianxiaoer and Taohua were stunned by this sentence.
Although she knew that Dongfang Wen was an upright person, she could directly say in front of the waiter in the shop that the house's signature wine was unpalatable, and that it was extremely bad. !
Sure enough, the waiter immediately showed a slightly annoyed look, "Master, what do you mean?"
Dongfang Wen glanced at him lightly, then suddenly dropped the wine glass on the ground, with an expression of "I'm so wronged to give labor and management something so bad", and pulled it like the emperor, "Why, it's bad to drink Why don't you let others tell you?"
The quarrel between the two gradually attracted the attention of other guests, and they began to discuss and point in low voices.
With their identities, they should have acted in a low-key manner, but Dongfang Wen deliberately drew attention for some reason.Although Taohua was puzzled, she believed in his judgment, so she kept silent and watched the changes.
"You, you!" The shop clerk was very angry with him, "You are here to find fault at all!"
"No, Piaoxianglou is famous far and wide. I came here here for the name, but I didn't expect it to be nothing like this. It's really disappointing." Dongfang Wen's words were sarcasm.
The two quarreled more and more, and soon attracted the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of Piaoxianglou is an old fritter, and at a glance, Dongfangwen doesn't look like an ordinary person. He is afraid of getting into any trouble, and just wants to make big things out of small things.He greeted people with a smiling face, and said politely: "You two guests, I wonder if there have been some unpleasant misunderstandings between you and the shop?"
"There is no misunderstanding, I just think the wine in your store is terrible."
"It doesn't make sense. The wine in the small shop is a century-old brand, and it has always been guaranteed with quality, and it is fragrant." Thinking whether there might be a process error in the middle, the shopkeeper picked up the jug and poured himself a glass. drink up.It's still the familiar formula, or the familiar taste, which is their signature.
Only now did the shopkeeper understand.It turned out that it wasn't that their wine was bad, but that someone deliberately came to find fault.No matter how you look at this person's attire, he looks like someone from the Jianghu. He should not be an expert. Why did he come to find fault with him?
The shopkeeper put away his smiling face, cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know why this uncle is slandering the small shop so much?"
"It's bad to drink, it's bad to drink, why don't you let others say it?" Dongfang Wen asked sarcastically.
At this time, a drunk man in the hall downstairs staggered to his feet, grabbed the wine jar and threw it on the ground, blushing and said, "Who is it? What the hell is that bastard, who... actually said that I Is the wine made by Jia Baoniang not good?"
The shopkeeper followed the sound and looked down, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and his face was full of panic, "Oh, I'm going, why is this person here again?!"
Ah Tian's eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul, he stared blankly at the wall.
Thinking of the scene in the dungeon just now, Yan Hong was lying in her arms covered in blood, as quiet as a lifeless puppet, Ah Tian couldn't help shivering with fear.
She didn't want to, she really didn't want to suffer the pain of losing a precious person again.
The two people with their own concerns were in a daze in the room, and after an unknown amount of time, the door of the next room finally opened, the master of the medicine hall could hardly hide his exhaustion, and the white hair on his head seemed to be even more.
"Hall master!" Ah Tian rushed over immediately, unable to hold back his excitement, he held his hand tightly and asked, "Hall master Yanhong, how is she?"
The master of the medicine hall glanced at her, and sighed helplessly, "Fate is barely saved, but the situation is still not optimistic. She was injured too badly, and she didn't treat the wound in time. It is estimated that even if she recovers, the root cause of the disease will fall. son."
Ah Tian lowered his eyes, his expression was a little dim.
No matter what, it's not bad to save your life.
"Can I go in and see her?" Ah Tian asked nervously.
The master of the medicine hall didn't understand what was going on between Ah Tian and Yan Hong, but seeing her worried expression, he really couldn't bear to refuse, "Go, be careful."
"Thank you!" After receiving permission, Ah Tian's expression softened a little, and he turned around and rushed into the room.
Tao Hua knew that she was concerned about Yan Hong, so she closed the door intimately, leaving some private space for them to have a private conversation.
"Master, Hall Master." Tao Hua went up to meet her, and asked, "Hall Master Yan Hong is so hurt, what should we do now?"
Dongfang Wen nodded, "We've already discussed it. Yan Hong's injury is too serious to travel far, so I plan to let Ah Tian and Uncle Bian stay and take care of her."
"What about us?"
"We're leaving tomorrow to return to the city."
"Go to Guicheng?" Taohua was stunned for a moment, Guan Fusha and her father went for the martial arts cheats, and Ye Shenjiao was in Yancheng, how could they go to Guicheng?
"That's right." Dongfang Wen said, "Qiyong has been controlled by him, and the key to open the secret room is equivalent to having fallen into his hands.

Dongfang Wen picked up the wine glass and sniffed it lightly, then took a sip, and said after a while, "...it's extremely unpleasant."
Both Dianxiaoer and Taohua were stunned by this sentence.
Although she knew that Dongfang Wen was an upright person, she could directly say in front of the waiter in the shop that the house's signature wine was unpalatable, and that it was extremely bad. !
Sure enough, the waiter immediately showed a slightly annoyed look, "Master, what do you mean?"
Dongfang Wen glanced at him lightly, then suddenly dropped the wine glass on the ground, with an expression of "I'm so wronged to give labor and management something so bad", and pulled it like the emperor, "Why, it's bad to drink Why don't you let others tell you?"
The quarrel between the two gradually attracted the attention of other guests, and they began to discuss and point in low voices.
With their identities, they should have acted in a low-key manner, but Dongfang Wen deliberately drew attention for some reason.Although Taohua was puzzled, she believed in his judgment, so she kept silent and watched the changes.
"You, you!" The shop clerk was very angry with him, "You are here to find fault at all!"
"No, Piaoxianglou is famous far and wide. I came here here for the name, but I didn't expect it to be nothing like this. It's really disappointing." Dongfang Wen's words were sarcasm.
The two quarreled more and more, and soon attracted the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of Piaoxianglou is an old fritter, and at a glance, Dongfangwen doesn't look like an ordinary person. He is afraid of getting into any trouble, and just wants to make big things out of small things.He greeted people with a smiling face, and said politely: "You two guests, I wonder if there have been some unpleasant misunderstandings between you and the shop?"
"There is no misunderstanding, I just think the wine in your store is terrible."
"It doesn't make sense. The wine in the small shop is a century-old brand, and it has always been guaranteed with quality, and it is fragrant." Thinking whether there might be a process error in the middle, the shopkeeper picked up the jug and poured himself a glass. drink up.It's still the familiar formula, or the familiar taste, which is their signature.
Only now did the shopkeeper understand.It turned out that it wasn't that their wine was bad, but that someone deliberately came to find fault.No matter how you look at this person's attire, he looks like someone from the Jianghu. He should not be an expert. Why did he come to find fault with him?
The shopkeeper put away his smiling face, cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know why this uncle is slandering the small shop so much?"
"It's bad to drink, it's bad to drink, why don't you let others say it?" Dongfang Wen asked sarcastically.
At this time, a drunk man in the hall downstairs staggered to his feet, grabbed the wine jar and threw it on the ground, blushing and said, "Who is it? What the hell is that bastard, who... actually said that I Is the wine made by Jia Baoniang not good?"
The shopkeeper followed the sound and looked down, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and his face was full of panic, "Oh, I'm going, why is this person here again?!"
