The flickering candle was extinguished by her mother, and when she heard a slight sound of closing the door, Xiao Tingyu opened her eyes that were originally closed, a pair of black and white clear eyes were extraordinarily bright under the moonlight outside the window.

Xiao Tingyu turned sideways and stared curiously at a simple black wooden ring carved with simple patterns in her hand under the moonlight, blinked, pursed the corners of her lips and listened nervously outside, the door of her parents' room sounded There was a creaking sound of the rotating shaft, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his crisp voice and stared at the wooden ring: "Hey, you, are you there?"

The wooden ring did not move, and when Xiao Tingyu's eyes gradually dimmed, finally a silvery white light flickered reluctantly, which was regarded as a response.

Xiao Tingyu's eyes were a little bit brighter than at the beginning, and her throat felt itchy. Xiao Tingyu turned half of her small face to the side indifferently.

Buried under the quilt, he suppressed a few low coughs, but kept staring at the wooden ring in his hand.

"Why don't you talk? Are you going to sleep too?"

Xiao Tingyu was a little puzzled, this wooden ring was bought last night when she went to the street with her parents to watch the lanterns.The light was dim, but Xiao Tingyu fell in love with this wooden ring scattered randomly on the street stall at the first sight in the bustling night market.

Rings are mostly a token of love between men and women. Xiao Tingyu is only seven years old now, and she suddenly wanted to buy a wooden ring, and she was laughed at by her parents, saying that at such an age, she wanted to buy a gift for her future daughter-in-law.

However, Xiao Tingyu was sick and weak since she was a child. The fault brought out from her mother's womb has always been indifferent. She is not naughty and playful like ordinary children. Because of her health, she never played with the children around her.Now that I suddenly like an object so much, not to mention a cheap wooden ring, even if it is a valuable item of gold and jade, the couple who dote on their youngest child will definitely buy it for the child with joy.

Last night Xiao Tingyu played with the wooden ring happily, but who knew there was someone inside.

Uh, maybe it can't be said to be a person?

Spirits or monsters?

But Xiao Tingyu didn't feel scared, the child was the most sensitive, and didn't feel the danger, so he talked a lot with the big brother in the wooden ring full of curiosity.

Xiao Tingyu has no special preference for the surroundings since she was a child. She always feels a little out of place when facing those children of the same age who are playing in the mud. Now she suddenly has a strong desire/desire to confide in her. Unfortunately, this big brother does not seem to be Don't like to talk.

When Xiao Tingyu was studying medicine with her father during the day, she always wondered, could it be that her eldest brother was in a bad mood because he was locked in such a small wooden ring, so he didn't want to talk?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tingyu turned over and lay down on the bed, carefully placed the wooden ring on the medicine pillow, supported her chin with both hands, stared at the wooden ring and chattered about the things around her, hoping to make the poor big brother happy a little.

After being forced to listen to the little guy's trivial words for a day, the wooden ring flickered impatiently, and a young boy's gloomy and cold voice sounded: "So, have you considered what I said?"

Xiao Tingyu tilted her head and was silent for a moment, her voice was a little dazed that didn't fit her age: "But, the world is so boring, why should I pursue longevity? It's boring for a person to live for decades, isn't it?"

Xiao Tingyu himself knew that he was too abnormal. He once carefully looked at the children around him.Ordinary children will laugh happily, cry sadly, be excited and look forward to countless "most wanted", but he is not interested in everything, but don't worry for the sake of parents, he will always Nod or shake your head with a smile, even if it really doesn't matter to him.

The voice paused, and there was imperceptible helplessness in the usual gloomy voice: "Don't you want a healthy body?" Every morning, noon and night, a bowl of dark soup will come, and the average child will not be able to bear it. !

Xiao Tingyu held her small face in hesitation and thought for a while: "But I still feel too boring, I might as well drink a few more years of medicine." Xiao Tingyu overheard the conversation between her father and grandfather when she was only five years old. The deceased grandfather said that he could only live to be 25 at most, and advised his father to prepare early.

At that time, Xiao Tingyu didn't feel anything special, just listening to her father choking with grief and depression, for the first time, she felt a sense of astringent discomfort in her heart.

Now he is seven years old, although there are many, many distances away from 25, but his parents are forty this year, Xiao Tingyu wants to rely on the soup to keep him warm, and after his parents pass away, he will not be able to use it How long it takes to leave is actually pretty good.

He was already thinking about this at the age of seven, and he was so indifferent to life. If people knew about it, they would probably feel fear and disgust in their hearts.

The person in the wooden ring snorted unhappily and stopped making any noise.

Xiao Tingyu frowned worriedly, her eyes were dim, and her voice was full of disappointment: "Did I hate what I said? Am I really a monster?"

Xiao Tingyu recalled the story his father took him to the teahouse to hear the bookman, and was a little confused. The young Xiao Tingyu also realized that he was different from the people around him.

Mu Jie couldn't stand Xiao Tingyu's repeated questioning, or couldn't bear the disappointment of such a young child, so he said "no" impatiently, and then resolutely stopped talking, no matter how long-winded the child was.

In the next few years, Mu Jie also gradually got used to the child who is taciturn and only smiles with a good temper in front of outsiders, but in private he always babbles to himself to be extremely annoying, but he doesn't say much anymore, just Every once in a while, he would ask him if he would like to cultivate immortality.

But Xiao Tingyu always replied in a daze: "I don't want to live forever."

Until he was 15 years old, the imperial court was incapable of ruling, the people were in dire straits, the dragon spirit that suppressed the fate of the world was gradually thinning out, and demons were rampant in the world.

The Painted Ghost in his mother's skin tenderly poured tea for Zhao Tingyu who had returned from collecting herbs. Zhao Tingyu stood in the hall of the backyard of the hospital without saying a word, staring at the "mother" in front of her with only a pair of clear black eyes. After a long while, she finally pursed her lips and sat on a chair beside her with some exhaustion, stroking the wooden ring that never left her body and whispering: "A Li, are my mother and father..."

The man in the wooden ring sneered sinisterly as always: "Yes, if you don't care, your parents' souls will soon be refined by that Painted Skin Ghost."

Painted Skin Ghost, as the name suggests, is a ghost with no skin and covered in blood and flesh. If it wants to come out to harm people, it can only wear human skin. After that, Painted Skin Ghost will also refine the victim's soul on that layer of skin. It can not only let ordinary exorcists discover its breath, but also facilitate its frequent replacement in the future.

Each Painted Skin Ghost collects a lot of skins, just like wearing clothes, hiding in the crowd, so it can't be found easily.

If it wasn't for Zhao Tingyu's innate sensitivity and his mother's familiarity, the Painted Skin Ghost would have been waiting at home to eat Zhao Tingyu because of his good looks.

Mo Li in the wooden ring thought about the young man's appearance, and not only sighed, but it's great to let the always timid and cautious Painted Skin Ghost want the skin even at the risk of being discovered.

Although Zhao Tingyu was frail since he was a child, his body was slender and weak, but his facial features inherited the advantages of his parents. Not to mention the extraordinary handsomeness of his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face is also extraordinarily gentle and delicate. With a faint smile on his face, the whole person is like the warm wind in spring.

This appearance is also one of the best in Meiruo Town. If it is not because of his frailty, at his age, the threshold of the Zhao Family Medical Center may be trampled by the matchmakers.

Zhao Tingyu heard the man in the wooden ring say so, sat in the chair in a daze, waited until the "mother" brought another plate of snacks, smelled the blood that hadn't dissipated from his nose, sighed faintly, and fell in love with the wooden ring in his heart. Mo Li in the precept said: "Well, my father always taught me that a doctor should be benevolent to the world and not slack off because of my incompetence, but I have always been too narrow and separated myself from the world. Now the world is suffering from the pain of ghosts and ghosts. , I just understood today. It turns out that I am also such an ordinary person, and I am proud of things that have nothing to do with me."

After a pause, Zhao Tingyu made up his mind, and his tone became firm: "A Li, are you still willing to teach me?"

Mo Li snorted coldly, with dissatisfaction in his voice, "Don't tell me you still want to be an exorcist? Since you want me to teach you, you must aim to become a fairy, otherwise you will die in this ghost today." In hand, the family of three can reunite in this Painted Skin Ghost wardrobe, and I can find someone else!"

Zhao Tingyu didn't think it was disobedient, just chuckled and agreed.

He knew that A Li hated iron but could not make steel. If ordinary people had such an adventure, they would have agreed to it long ago, but A Li met him and stayed with him for several days in this small wooden ring. If it hadn't been for the sudden bad luck of his parents, who awakened him from self-restraint and fell into a predicament, I am afraid that A Li would have to wait for a long time.

As for what Mo Li said about finding someone else, Zhao Tingyu knew that it was just what A Li said deliberately for the sake of face. If not, why didn't he leave immediately a few years ago?

Thinking of his parents, Zhao Tingyu felt depressed. Although he was born with superficial emotions and desires, after all, they were his parents. Now, he can only think about letting Ah Li send his parents Haosheng to the underworld for reincarnation later.

Death, in Zhao Tingyu's heart, is not the end of everything, but a new beginning.I had this kind of perception when I was young, and because Mo Li knew about the reincarnation of time, ghosts and gods, I felt that life after life is just like this.Now that the parents die, it is just that the fate is broken, and they will go to reincarnation. If the fate can still be connected on the Sansheng Stone, the parents who have loved each other for half their lives will naturally become husband and wife.

The Painted Ghost saw that Zhao Tingyu was only caressing the wooden ring hanging on his belt, and felt anxious.

When I went out to get some snacks just now, Painted Skin Ghost had already closed the clinic outside. Now seeing that the other party didn't drink tea or plan to eat snacks, and smelling the extraordinarily delicious flesh and blood exuding from the other party's body, Painted Skin Ghost couldn't bear to swallow it. Drooled.Before, it was only because of Zhao Tingyu's well-known appearance outside, but now when he met, he found that he had met a good thing, and the Painted Skin Ghost didn't care about being cautious, so he walked lightly behind Zhao Tingyu, where Zhao Tingyu couldn't see, Grinning revealed the sharp teeth of the big mouth that occupied half of the face, the hands were curled into claws, the fingertips showed long and sharp black nails, and the corners of the mouth dropped blue and yellow saliva and rushed to them.

The distance between the two was less than half a step, and they threw themselves on Zhao Tingyu's back without even taking a breath, but suddenly there was a flash of inspiration on Zhao Tingyu's body, and the Painted Skin Ghost screamed and was bounced off the wall and fell on the ground. land.

The Painted Skin Ghost was terrified, fell to the ground, rolled and crawled, and wanted to escape outside the door. As long as he escaped outside the door, with his own skin, he thought he could use the resistance of the humans on the street outside for a moment to escape.

Thinking about it this way, Painted Skin Ghost didn't even care about the handsome middle-aged man's corpse in the room. The already cowardly Painted Skin Ghost was frightened to the point of tearing his heart apart, thinking that he had encountered something deeply hidden. The dewy master ran out regardless of covering Zhao Tingyu's mother's skin.

Now that Mo Li has got Zhao Tingyu's promise, he will not let the painted skin ghost escape, and suddenly shoots a ball of spiritual energy from the wooden ring, wrapping the painted skin ghost in it, and for a moment, he can only hear the ghost screaming with its teeth and claws. It was drawn out by the spiritual energy as a cloud of black mist, and finally swallowed by the white spiritual energy, disappearing without a trace, and the white spiritual energy itself became a little grayer.

There was only a shriveled layer of skin left on the ground, Zhao Tingyu sighed, stepped forward to collect the skin, and found his father's body intact in his parents' room. The two of them buried in a coffin together, which is considered to be the love of their parents. .

However, the mother whose flesh and blood was devoured by the Painted Skin Ghost, leaving only a layer of skin, has always left a deep mark in Zhao Tingyu's heart.For the first time in 15 years, Zhao Tingyu, who is indifferent by nature, has a strong desire: to kill the demons and ghosts who cause harm to the world!

"Thank you Doctor Zhao, thank you, thank you..."

The old woman in tattered clothes bowed her body and thanked the young doctor again and again, tears of gratitude filled her wrinkled and turbid eyes. If it hadn’t been for Dr. Zhao’s free diagnosis and treatment and medicine, the old woman’s only son would not have been able to be saved. , the old lady naturally thanked her again and again.

Zhao Tingyu was dressed in moon white, with a straight figure and a smile as he saw off the old lady. He stood at the door of the medical hall for a while, a itch rose in his throat, Zhao Tingyu smiled lightly, took out a plain handkerchief to cover his lips and coughed a few times, Turn around and enter.

Tongdetang is a small medical clinic, but it has a history of hundreds of years. Zhao Tingyu inherited his ancestral business and became a famous doctor in Meiruo Town.He is famous not only because of his superb medical skills, but also because of his handsome appearance and the warm and gentle temperament of a gentleman, but it is a pity for everyone that this doctor was born weak, and the problem of birth, although there is no serious illness, it is Over the past 20 years, daily decoctions have continued.

Therefore, although everyone respects this doctor, no one dares to marry their daughter to him. Seeing that he is coughing all day long, his body is not only thin, and his face has no blood, if he hears about this doctor the next day No one will be surprised if they fall down.

Dr. Zhao's body and bones made everyone respect him more.

Such a sick and weak person still insists on seeing a doctor for everyone, and those who encounter difficulties will be treated for free. It is really grateful and admirable. It really echoes the words most commonly used by these common people on this doctor: Bodhisattva heart.

Zhao Tingyu went into the house and tidied it up, and told the apprentice Anan who was helping out in the medical center to take good care of the house, and if he was in doubt, he could ask Dr. Tong.Anan is the youngest son of the shopkeeper of the restaurant next door, and the shopkeeper himself is helping others to look after the store, and he doesn't want his son to be the shopkeeper like him in the future. Finally, under the instigation of Anan himself and Anan's sister, Abi, he sent Anan to follow him. Zhao Tingyu studied medicine, not to mention how good he is, at least he can see a headache, and it will be regarded as a craft in the future.

Meiruo Town is not big, and there is only the Zhao Family Tongde Hall among the decent medical clinics.

That's right, in this small town with no more than a hundred residents, even if you want to open a few more medical clinics, there are not so many patients. Not to mention that the Zhao family has opened medical clinics here for several generations. Good, the reputation in Meiruo Town is exceptionally good.

As for the nearby villages, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, the farmers are poor, and the taxes are complicated. Minor illnesses are all boiled down. As for serious illnesses, few people come to ask for medical medicine. , depends on luck.

Old doctor Tong was the doctor Zhao Tingyu hired when his father was alive, and he originally came to the small town from other places to avoid disaster.Zhao Tingyu's father was kind-hearted, seeing that the other party knew some medical skills, so he directly invited him over and became a doctor.Over the past twenty years, Dr. Tong's medical skills have become better, but he is getting older, and he doesn't come to the clinic every day.

Now Anan has been studying medicine for nearly two years. Anan himself likes to study medicine and has a good talent. Now that he is only fourteen, he can deal with some minor illnesses alone. With the addition of Dr. Tong, Zhao Tingyu can naturally leave from time to time without worry. some days.

Five years ago, the king was in a daze, and the dragon energy was about to run out. There were even rumors that the beautiful concubine in the palace was transformed by a monster. Even the imperial city is in chaos now. People in Meiruo Town who are convenient, now often hear that there are big monsters that cannibalize people in certain cities and towns.

Not long ago, I heard that a monster that eats the blood of middle-aged men appeared in Ping An City outside Mei Ruo Town. Everyone was trembling in their hearts, and even the business of the only brothel in Mei Ruo Town became quite cold.

Who knows if that seductively dressed woman is the monster?Even seeing some beautiful girls, now those men have to bow their heads and walk away quickly: I heard that the fox demon loves to change all kinds of beautiful appearances to seduce men!

Anan didn't know what the boss was doing when he often left, but after two years, the boss was always like this, so he didn't care too much. He just thought about the medicinal baths that the boss had been taking every day for two years, and shook his head, feeling sorry for his sister. Dian Xin was very troubled.

Although he also likes his boss, but watching his sister marry such a poor boss, Anan is still a little worried.He is not the kind of person who can let his own sister marry to be a widow for the sake of things outside his body. Naturally, he will not think that if his sister marries, and Zhao Tingyu dies in the future, this Tongde Hall will belong to his sister.

What Anan didn't know was that Mo Li asked Zhao Tingyu to prescribe the medicine bath and even the medicine that Zhao Tingyu usually took to exercise and strengthen his bones.

"I used to let you take medicine to recuperate your body when you were young, but now it's healed. After so much effort, you still look sick, hum!" Mo Li was very upset, he had never met such a weird person before, He didn't want to become a fairy at all, and he wished to die early.Among the male protagonists he met before, who didn't have various reasons for wanting to become stronger?

But fortunately, he finally waited for that accident a few years ago, otherwise Mo Li would really have nothing to do with this person.

In fact, Mo Li should have appeared five years ago when the hero's parents had an accident, but Mo Li wanted to complete the task earlier, so he wanted to take advantage of the hero's young age to fool around, so he came down a few years earlier.

There has been chaos in the headquarters recently, and many members of the Goldfinger Department who went to do missions have lost contact. It has been confirmed that eight people were killed, and there are even those who were assimilated by traitors and rebelled.Therefore, the headquarters has issued a high-level alert notice, and it is suspected that there are high-risk people who have defected into the headquarters.

A few days ago, the ministers had also gone to various planes to seek alliances, and naturally these team leaders did not accept difficult tasks occasionally as before.

As the leader of a group whose combat power is comparable to that of the Order Department's combat madness, Mo Li still has a bunch of tasks piled up on his desk!

Zhao Tingyu smiled lightly, shook his folding fan, and walked in the night market in Ping'an City with the appearance of a refined gentleman, attracting a bunch of girls to peek at him shyly.

"A Li, don't worry. Outsiders don't know, so maybe you don't know? Aren't I much better now?"

Mo Li snorted gloomyly, paused for a moment and seemed to feel that he would be taken as acquiescence by the guy outside, and then added unwillingly: "Who is worried about you? It's just that this time the monster is not easy, you don't want to die , lest I lose my face!"

Hearing the other party's claim, Zhao Tingyu chuckled lightly, noncommittal.

Mo Li gritted her teeth secretly. Facing this kind of person was even more aggrieved than facing a dull man. At this moment, Mo Li could not wait to catch this person in and beat him up hard!
