After finding the little red snake that day, the wizard wanted to go to the Valley of the Medicine King to look for it, but it was getting dark. The wizard knew the danger of walking in the woods at night, so he made an appointment with Luo Qingning to look for it tomorrow.

Luo Qingning was still unwilling to believe that the snake swam out of the Valley of the Medicine King. 'This river extends in all directions, maybe it just passes through the Valley of the Medicine King, and the people who raise snakes may live farther upstream. 'Luo Qingning comforted herself like this.

The next day, Medicine King Valley

Qiao Mingyu was still checking Huamanlou's pulse, giving needles, and inquiring about her condition as usual. Luo Qingning was decocting medicine by the medicine stove, staring at Qiao Mingyu's figure in a daze while fanning the wind. Tang Qin was busy preparing flowers by her side. The floor is full of medicinal materials.

bump--

Unconsciously, Luo Qingning slammed her fan's elbow into the shelf next to her, and the jar filled with medicinal materials just hit Tang Qin from the top of the shelf.

At that moment, Luo Qingning saw Tang Qin dodge to the side quickly, and stood firmly in a safe place. The jar fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.

Luo Qingning asked curiously: "Miss Tang knows martial arts?"

Tang Qin froze for a moment, then nodded.

Luo Qingning continued: "Then can you teach me some tricks, I'm good at self-defense."

Tang Qin looked at Luo Qingning's sincere eyes and said, "It's too late for you to learn now."

Luo Qingning grabbed Tang Qin's sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "Then why not teach Qinggong, I have some foundation in Qinggong."

Tang Qin pulled out his sleeves calmly, and said, "I'm not good at lightness kung fu, so I can't teach you."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went out.

Luo Qingning looked at Tang Qin's back with a cold look on her face. 'The actions just now are enough to show that Tang Qin's lightness skills are good. Why would a woman with good martial arts and good looks stay in this mountain with nothing for three years?Is it really because I like Master? '

Luo Qingning glanced at the elegant man who was making needles for Huaman downstairs. 'Snakes generally like to live in dark and damp places. The Valley of the Medicine King is surrounded by medicine fields on all sides, and there is only one bamboo building in the middle. The only place suitable for raising snakes is...Master's wine cellar! '

Cuckoo - cuckoo -

The cuckoo's cry sounded outside the small building, and the sound became louder and louder, interrupting Luo Qingning's thoughts.

'How can the cuckoo call so ugly! Luo Qingning got up angrily, intending to drive away the silly bird that was screaming in her ear.

"It's you!!" Luo Qingning pointed to the unidentified object in front of him who was wearing bird feathers, with leaves on his head, and was hiding on a tree branch.

The wizard jumped down from the tree and glared at Luo Qingning: "Screaming so loudly, I'm afraid no one else can hear it!"

Luo Qingning gave him an angry look, and said, "It's so early."

The wizard said: "I came early to familiarize myself with the environment, so as not to catch the snake breeder and put myself in it."

Luo Qingning nodded appreciatively: "So, how is your observation?"

The wizard approached Luo Qingning and said, "There are medicine fields all around here, so it's not good for you to hide or run away."

Luo Qingning patted the wizard on the shoulder, and said, "So we have to act after dark. The so-called night is dark and windy, when killing people and stealing goods!"

The wizard shook off Luo Qingning's paws on his shoulders, and said, "We are here to investigate the case, why are we acting like thieves?"

Luo Qingning said with a serious face, "You don't understand this, it's too much to scare the snake, we must be fully prepared, plan during the day, and act at night."

The wizard nodded in agreement and said, "What's your plan?"

Luo Qingning pointed to the woman in the medicine field in the distance, and said: "Have you seen that woman? I suspect that she is the snake breeder behind the scenes. She is not weak in martial arts. There is only one way to catch her safely."

Wizard: "What way?"

Luo Qingning: "Poison."

Luo Qingning took out a pack of medicinal powder from her body, and said, "This is Qingfengsan. Go find a place with a downwind wind and sprinkle this out. At that time, no matter people or animals near this small building, they will fall if they smell it."

The wizard reached out to take it, and said with contempt on his face, "Isn't it just drugged? What kind of name did you give it? It doesn't fit at all."

Luo Qingning gave the wizard a violent shudder, and said: "This is called surprise, who would have thought that this is a drug, stop talking nonsense, and pretend."

Reluctantly, the wizard packed the medicine and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Luo Qingning touched the mask on the wizard's head, and said, "Can't you take off the bird feathers on your head? It looks weird, what if someone sees it? "

The wizard raised his head proudly, and said sharply, "No! This is my status symbol! The most honorable lord witch doctor!"

Luo Qingning nodded helplessly, waved her hand casually, and said, "Okay! Just wear it, and treat it like a slightly bigger bird fell on the tree."

The wizard smugly got into the grass and disappeared in the bushes.

The waiting time is always long, and the sun is finally willing to move his fat body and walk down the mountain bit by bit.

Midnight, Valley of the Medicine Kings

Luo Qingning quietly pulled up the wizard who was hiding in the grass, and walked towards the cellar bit by bit.

Wizard: "Why didn't you see that man that day?"

Luo Qingning: "He stays behind, if anything happens, he is responsible for blocking my master."

Wizard: "Could your master be an accomplice of the snake breeder?"

Luo Qingning gave the wizard a blank look: "Of course not, that Tang Qin is the real one. We are going to uncover her mask now so that Master can see the truth!"

The cellar door was gently opened, and Luo Qingning and the wizard stooped and sneaked inside on tiptoe.

There seemed to be no wind in the cellar, the air flow was sluggish, and there was an unpleasant smell.

Luo Qingning sniffed, and said, "What's the smell?"

Wizard: "It smells like dead people."

Luo Qingning took out a fire pocket from her pocket and blew it on, illuminating the environment of the cellar. There were jars in the cellar, and some dried meat hung on the wall. There seemed to be something slowly crawling in the corner, and the ground sounded There was a grinding sound.

"Master!" Suddenly Luo Qingning's hand trembled, and the fire bag fell to the ground.With the help of the faint firelight, the wizard saw the scene in front of him clearly. A man was sitting motionless on the chair in front of him, staring at them without blinking. He was wearing a white robe, which seemed to have not been changed for a long time. There are stains on the corners of the clothes.

The wizard took a few steps closer, reached out to touch the man's neck, and said, "He is dead."

Seeing that the person in front of him was motionless, Luo Qingning bent down to pick up the fire bag on the ground, approached him, and reached out to touch the man's veins. There was silence and no beating.

Luo Qingning's face was full of disbelief: "How is it possible, he was fine this morning."

Luo Qingning checked the man from top to bottom. The man's body was stiff and he had obviously been dead for a long time. There were two red spots on his neck, and the skin around the red spot was all black and blue.

Luo Qingning: "He's been dead for a long time, but why, I talked to him this morning."

Luo Qingning put her hand on the man's cold face, and stroked it repeatedly to make sure that he didn't change his face.

'This is indeed the master, so who is the person who treats Hua Manlou these days?Why did he pretend to be a master?Why kill him?And Tang Qin, who is she?Did she stay by Master's side all the time to observe Master?Why am I only now finding out?If I could come back earlier and find out earlier, wouldn't Master not be dead? 'Luo Qingning's mind was in chaos.

While Luo Qingning was inspecting the man's body, the wizard had searched through all the jars in the cellar. The jars contained some precious medicinal materials, and some jars still contained the sloughs of the little red snakes.

The wizard said coldly: "Sure enough, the snake breeder is here, but we seem to be one step too late. These snakes seem to have been removed now."

Luo Qingning glanced at the jar and exclaimed, "Not good!"

She dragged the wizard towards the entrance of the cellar quickly, but it was already too late, and the oily liquid flowed into the narrow cellar bit by bit along the entrance of the cellar.

Luo Qingning touched it with her fingertip, sniffed it under her nose, and said, "It's kerosene. They want to burn us alive here."

The wizard kicked the wall angrily, muttering in an incomprehensible dialect.

Luo Qingning approached the man on the chair, reached out and gently stroked the man's handsome face, with a sad expression: "Master, it's me. Am I late? Master, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone Yaowanggu, I shouldn't have come back to see you for two years, Master, I was wrong, can you get up and scold me? If you really can't, hit me, hit me hard!"

Luo Qingning's eyes were filled with tears, and she spoke intermittently to Qiao Mingyu's body, her voice choked up.

The wizard couldn't stand it anymore, he pulled Luo Qingning up: "Why are you crying! Come on! Open the door with me, let's rush out and kill those ruthless people!"

The wizard's face seemed to be shining under the light of the fire, Luo Qingning was slightly taken aback, then nodded fiercely.

Flames quickly burned down the stairs in the cellar, and the feather mask on the wizard's head was the first to suffer. Luo Qingning pulled off the mask, threw it on the ground, and stamped it out with his feet.

The wizard hugged the trampled mask with a distressed expression, staring at Luo Qingning.Luo Qingning settled down and dug on the ground of the cellar.

Wizard: "What are you doing?"

Luo Qingning: "This is a cellar, there is nothing to burn, the fire will burn to the stairs at most, but if the fire is not extinguished, we will soon be smothered to death by the smoke, and now the only thing that can be used to extinguish the fire is soil .”

Upon hearing this, the wizard quickly dug up the soil.

The stairs were burnt and fell obliquely in the cellar. Luo Qingning and the wizard quickly poured all the excavated soil on the stairs. After a while, the fire on the stairs ran out of oxygen and was completely extinguished.The fire at the cellar door also went out after burning the wood on the cellar door.

Luo Qingning and the wizard exhaled heavily and crawled out of the cellar.

The flames were soaring into the sky, and the small building in Yaowang Valley had been burned to the ground.Luo Qingning stood in a daze outside the burning building.Countless bits and pieces of her and Master getting along day and night in the small building flashed through her mind.It seemed that Master's smiling face was still shining in the firelight soaring into the sky.

"Your life is really great!" A soft female voice came.

Luo Qingning and the wizard turned their heads. Under the moonlight, the woman was dressed in black, with exquisite curves.

Luo Qingning stared at the person in front of her, and said, "Tang Qin!"

Tang Qin smiled alluringly, and said: "You must have seen your master's body. You are really chilling. I haven't come back for two years to take a look, but let me wait!"

Luo Qingning looked stern, and said, "You killed my master?"

Tang Qin shook his head and said, "No, your master was bitten to death by a snake he raised."

Luo Qingning looked directly at Tang Qin, and said coldly, "You think I'll believe your nonsense?"

Tang Qin smiled more tenderly, and said: "I'm telling the truth this time. These snakes are the painstaking efforts of your master. Your master has raised them for a long time."

Luo Qingning didn't have the leisure to listen to Tang Qin talking here, she quickly raised her hand, and the poisoned darts struck Tang Qin from her hand. shoot down.

Tang Qin smiled and said: "It seems that he has taught you our Tang Sect's kung fu a lot."

Luo Qingning asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"

Tang Qin leisurely took out the same dart from his sleeve, and said, "Don't you know? What you learned is not the medicine practice of Yaowanggu, but my Tangmen's method of killing!"

Luo Qingning's eyes were filled with shock, she took a few steps back, then stabilized herself, and said with a smile:

"So what? There is no separation between medicine and poisoning, not to mention that I am a good student who humbly asks for advice. If you want to teach me, I can learn it too."

Looking at the smile on Luo Qingning's face, Tang Qin was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "That's true, I said how could he, who has always been arrogant and reserved, suddenly accept disciples, Luo Qingning, you are really different ah!"

After finishing speaking, he leaned over and shot the dart in his hand at Luo Qingning, followed closely behind, and attacked Luo Qingning. He took out the powder and sprinkled it out.

Seeing the medicine powder coming, Tang Qin quickly fixed her body, held her breath, and used the wind of her palm to disperse the floating medicine powder. At this time, the wizard standing behind her suddenly moved, holding a short sword and stabbing at Tang Qin quickly. Tang Qin Turning around and dodging, a small cut was cut on the arm.

Tang Qin was afraid that the sword would be poisoned, so he quickly sealed the acupuncture point on his arm, then turned his left hand, took out a handful of medicinal powder from his sleeve, and sprinkled it on the wizard.

whoosh-

Tang Qin watched in disbelief as a little red snake came towards her quickly. Her left hand was sprinkling medicinal powder at the wizard, and the acupoints on her right hand were sealed off. Her raised body seemed to be frozen, and she fell heavily to the ground.

Luo Qingning walked towards Tang Qin and looked down at her: "Are you surprised why those snakes bit you? What I asked the wizard to sprinkle on you with the wind is not Qingfengsan at all, but a medicinal powder that can attract poisonous snakes." , and the hidden weapon I shot at you just now is also mixed with this powder, even if you can dodge once, you can't dodge the second time, plus the smell of blood on your arm, the snake must think you are Delicious."

Tang Qin looked at the cruel smile on Luo Qingning's face, and suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, he didn't hire the wrong person."

Tang Qin died, and before she died, there was still a contented smile on her lips. Luo Qingning knew that Tang Qin had no intention of leaving Yaowang Valley alive, no matter whether they ended up alive or dead, Tang Qin would definitely not be able to go back up...

In front of my eyes, was the flames of the bamboo building all over the sky.

Luo Qingning's cold and trembling right hand was pulled up and wrapped in his hand.

Luo Qingning tilted her head: "The building is full of flowers?"

Hua Manlou said warmly, "You still have me."

Looking at the fire, the wizard seemed to think of the nights when he was helpless, the faces eager to live, the pairs of expectant eyes, tears streaming down his face...
