Work hard for the shadow guard

Ji Yuheng got up very early. Some time ago he discovered a rare medicinal herb Luohuanhua on the mountain, which is the main raw material for making the drug "Dream Luohuan".

In addition to reading books these years, Ji Yuheng's only hobby is to study the "Xuanyi Baicaolu" in his mother's house, which records hundreds of medicinal materials and the production methods of various elixirs.

When he was a child, he used this book to read pictures and characters, and then he gradually realized that this might be a precious secret book, and one day he would be able to make the panacea in it.

Luo Huanhua is a kind of orchid that looks like a magpie. According to the records in the book, it only blooms when the sun is near dawn and the sun has not risen. Once the sun comes out from behind the mountain, it will wither.

Although Ji Yuheng found Luo Huanhua before, he overslept every time and never got up early to pick it. This time, he thought that since he was going to travel far away from home, he had better prepare some self-defense medicine and bring it with him just in case.

He received too much information last night. In fact, Ji Yuheng didn't sleep well. He woke up before dawn. He was afraid of waking Yingjiu, so there was very little movement. It fell halfway, and Ji Yuheng has been dragging it without repairing it, so he happened to see Ying Jiu lying on the wooden board.

Sensing someone's gaze, Yingjiu opened her eyes vigilantly, and made eye contact with Ji Yuheng who was outside the window.

Ji Yuheng walked into the firewood room angrily, why didn't he sleep in the good wing room, but slept on the cold and hard wooden boards!

Seeing Ji Yuheng's angry face, a trace of panic flashed in Yingjiu's eyes. He stood up neatly, lowered his head and waited for the answer. He didn't expect his master to get up so early, and he didn't get up early to prepare breakfast for his master.

In the middle of the night, the moon appeared quietly, and the bright moonlight poured down on the earth. Through the window of the firewood house, it happened to be projected onto the wooden board where Ying Jiu had slept, and there were some mottled red spots on it.

After Ji Yuheng saw it, he didn't have time to ask Yingjiu why he was sleeping here. He walked up to the wooden board and saw that it was really bloodstained!

"Are you injured?" Ji Yuheng's voice became louder, yesterday he didn't see that Ying Jiu was injured at all.

Yingjiu also saw the blood-stained wooden board, probably because the wound opened again while sleeping.

If it was before, Yingjiu would definitely think that the master disliked him for dirtying the household items, but after getting along with him last night, the master should be blaming him for not reporting it, and maybe there is a tinge of pity for him.

"Take off your shirt and let me see your wound." Blood oozed out, it must be a serious injury, Ji Yuheng once again forgot about collecting herbs.

Ying Jiu clenched his fists, the welt marks on his back were intertwined and ugly, and there were four ugly nails, the master would definitely be disgusted after seeing it.

What value can an injured shadow guard have...

Seeing that Ying Jiu didn't make a move, Ji Yuheng threatened: "Do you want me to take it off for you?"

Ying Jiu's body trembled slightly, how dare he bother the master, he took off his shirt roughly, even though the inner shirt tore off the broken flesh on his back, he didn't care.

The clear moonlight shone on Yingjiu's naked upper body. The perfectly proportioned skeleton was covered with a thin layer of muscles. His figure was thin but not thin.

Ji Yuheng was worried about Yingjiu's injury, so he didn't appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him carefully. There was indeed no wound in front of him, but he saw a few dark red scars extending from his back to his shoulders, and the wounds were all on his back.

Ji Yuheng turned directly behind Yingjiu. Unlike the white and clean one in front, Yingjiu's back was a mess with criss-crossed welts, one on top of the other. The crack is still seeping blood.

Between the shades of red, Ji Yuheng saw four dark black dots inlaid on Yingjiu's beautifully shaped butterfly bone, and his pupils shrank slightly. Could this be a torture nail!

Ji Yuheng once read in a book that nails are a very ancient punishment. Those who make mistakes will be nailed everywhere on their bodies, and their every move on weekdays will be tortured by the nails in their bodies. Abolished, only some big families or powerful groups are still using it privately.

If it hit the butterfly bone, Yingjiu is a martial arts practitioner, and every move she uses will probably cause endless pain.

Ji Yuheng felt that his head was congested, and the endless pity in his heart turned into a strong anger in his chest, how could he make people like this!If those who hurt Yingjiu stood in front of him, he might tear them to pieces.

"What the hell is going on! How did you get the injury on your body?"

Hearing the anger in the master's voice, Yingjiu thought that Ji Yuheng was angry at his concealment. The punishment behind her must have disappointed the master. Only the shadow guard who made a big mistake would be nailed, and he was alone. There are four.

"Master, it's just a few minor injuries." Ying Jiu's voice dropped, there were too many injuries, and he couldn't tell Ji Yuheng the origin of each one.

If this was considered a minor injury, there would be no serious injury in the world!

Ji Yuheng didn't make it difficult for Yingjiu. He knew that as a shadow guard, he would inevitably be punished during training. He didn't ask about the whip marks on his back for the time being. He returned to Yingjiu and asked, "What's the matter with the nails on your back?"

But she didn't want her master to know the origin of the nails, so Yingjiu quietly looked at Ji Yuheng's expression. The master's expression was solemn, her brows were tightly frowned, and her face seemed clouded. He knew that he could no longer disobey his master at this time.

Yingjiu said in a low voice, "The shadow guards have to accept nine assessments when they have cultivated to a certain level. Only after passing the assessment can they leave the villa and come to your Highnesses. However, my subordinates have never passed the last assessment. Every time they fail, they will be punished. Put a nail on it."

So far this year, Yingjiu has accepted the assessment four times and failed four times, which is why he has the nails on his back.

Ying Jiu's words were tantamount to uncovering his scars again. He felt that the blood on his body was almost frozen, and his whole body was extremely cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

The master already knew that he was an unqualified shadow guard, and he failed four times in a row. Since the establishment of Qiwu Villa, there may not be another shadow guard as bad as him.

Will the master not want himself?

After knowing the reason why Ying Jiu was nailed, Ji Yuheng's complexion did not improve, and he continued to ask: "Since you failed the examination, why did you leave Qiwu Villa and come to me?"

Is the master really going to abandon him?Thinking that the master's kindness to him last night will disappear in the next moment, Yingjiu feels unbearable pain in his heart. He has never hated his incompetence like this time, so why can't he pass the test!

Ying Jiu licked her dry lips, and replied in a low voice: "Because this generation has the most descendants, and the number of shadow guards in Qiwu Villa is not enough, I was sent here."

The answer I got was unexpected and reasonable.

"I see," Ji Yuheng picked up the jacket next to Yingjiu, "Put on your clothes first, it's cold in the morning, don't freeze."

Ji Yuheng didn't care if Yingjiu was a qualified shadow guard. Although the two met for the first time yesterday, Ji Yuheng already regarded him as his close partner, so when seeing Yingjiu's injury, Ji Yuheng cared more about Yingjiu's pain and anger. How to cure him.

"Master, won't you abandon me?" Ying Jiu raised her head all of a sudden, and her dark eyes burst out with hope.

"Of course I won't abandon you. Put on the clothes lightly, don't rub the wound, come with me to the house, and I'll bandage you up."

Such a serious injury was not bandaged at all, and the sore medicine was not wiped carefully, no wonder there is a tendency to worsen.

Ying Jiu put on his clothes and followed Ji Yuheng out. Hearing what the master said, his pain seemed to be much better. Not only did the master not dislike him, but he also bandaged his wound.

The two stayed in the firewood house for a long time, and when they came out, the sun had already risen half way from the mountain in the west, and the faint light came in through the windows of the main house with the morning mist.

Ji Yuheng's family didn't have good golden sore medicine, Yingjiu took out the unused golden sore medicine from his bosom, Ji Yuheng sprinkled it on the wound carefully, and took out a bandage to wrap it up for Yingjiu.

During this period, Yingjiu kept her body stiff. Ji Yuheng knew that he was not used to being approached by others, but the wounds were all on his back. Yingjiu could not apply the medicine by himself, so he could only slow down his movements as much as possible, trying not to touch Yingjiu's body.

Yingjiu sensed his master's cautiousness, and he said, "Master, you can just apply the medicine without worry, the subordinates are not afraid of pain."

You are not afraid of pain, but I am afraid of your pain. Ji Yuheng wanted to divert Yingjiu's attention so that he would not be so tense, so he asked how to nail the nail.

The use of this kind of punishment nail is actually very difficult. Whether it is the person who hits or pulls out, it needs good strength.

What Yingjiu replied was that the punishment nails on her back were fixed by a special force and could not be pulled out privately. Only after returning to Qiwu Villa and passing the final assessment, could the villa owner pull it out in person.

Sure enough, Ji Yuheng suddenly had the urge to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger could he survive the so-called competition and take Yingjiu back to pull out the punishment nail.

After the dressing was finished, Ji Yuheng forced Yingjiu to sit beside her and rest while he went to prepare breakfast.After breakfast, Ji Yuheng began to think about going to the Immortal Sword Sect to be a teacher. It was only less than two months before the apprenticeship post was posted, and he didn't even know where the Immortal Sword Sect was. Xiu was too far away for him. Without this Sealing the apprentice post, I am afraid that he will not be able to get in touch with cultivation in this life.

In the next few days, Ji Yuheng and Yingjiu went up the mountain together in the early morning, picked Luo Huanhua to make a drug, and carried it with them for self-defense.

Uncle Xu has passed away, and his mother does not return all year round. Ji Yuheng does not need to say goodbye to anyone when he leaves. He strengthens the fence outside the yard to prevent animals on the mountain from entering, and puts a letter in his mother's room, stating his whereabouts. , if mother comes back, she can go to Xianjianzong to find him after reading this letter, of course, if his mother is willing to find him.
