Anyway, he never had the idea of sacrificing his life for the emperor.Even though he is Yan Wangjun, Liang Qianlie doesn't always talk about his loyalty to the country. Instead, he scolds the dynasty from time to time. Survive troubled times.
In all fairness, he neither likes nor dislikes the King of Yuanzhou, let alone wants to kill him. Capturing the King of Yuanzhou and returning to the city is just to do his duty and make meritorious service.
Seeing that he remained calm, the King of Yuanzhou changed the subject: "Yes, Liang Qianlie and Yan Luan have a good relationship, but what does Yan Luan have? Military power? Just a few old ministries? Is there a city? Just a Yuanzhou city, the emperor sent If a prefect goes, he has to..."
"Shut up!" Chi Heng was furious suddenly, and pushed the knife forward, "Don't blame my knife sharpness."
His knife is blunt, like a block of iron on the skin, it can't even chop pork, and it has no lethality. It is only extremely sharp when it is full of power.With this angry push, Yuanzhou's neck immediately bled.The King of Yuanzhou was in pain, and was even more surprised by Chi Heng's moodiness. He looked indifferent just now, and was taken aback for a moment. After thinking about it, although he didn't know the reason, the kid in front of him either couldn't listen to Yan Luan or Yuan Zhoucheng was excited when he heard it.
He twisted the front of his white robe, becoming more calm.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been born in youth. Last time you led troops to break through my king's Beiguan, this king took care of it. It's a pity that you are still following Liang Qianlie. You are just a reckless man who only knows how to fight. This king is a prince. He has a fief and a land. The title, there is..." It is nothing more than Xu Gongming, Xu Lilu, and Xu Yunshen's unknown Jinse prospect.
Chi Heng didn't even bother to listen, thinking about how to escape.
After Xu Shi fought for a long time, he found that his hands were a little soft, and his palms were full of sweat.The three generals in front are staring at each other, it's really difficult to deal with.
"I thought I lost Yuanzhou and had nowhere to go, but I didn't know that I was taking a long-term view." The king of Yuanzhou suddenly changed the subject and said emphatically, "Yan Luan can't defeat Yuanzhou, the emperor will kill him sooner or later." ;He defeated Yuanzhou, so naturally someone will consume him to death, heh, don’t think that he is so frivolous now that he falls down worse than anyone else, not only him, but also his family. Hmph!"
"Shut up! Let your soldiers die far away!" Chi Heng was anxious, his heart twitched suddenly, the strength in his hand softened again, and it was still a little itchy, he couldn't help rubbing the knife with his palm handle.
When he rubbed against each other, Yuanzhou Wang faintly smiled strangely, and waved at his subordinates: "Yudu, you all step back."
Chi Heng felt that the palm of his hand was not only itchy, but also a little painful, like a barb.
The king of Yuanzhou turned around and said to him, "Don't worry, with this king in your hands, they will not act rashly. Does Liang Qianlie want to join forces with Yan Luan? That is also a dead end. It is impossible for the emperor to cut Yan Wangjun into what it is now. Unsteady, together, he still has the eye of a needle? The emperor doesn't even worry about the loyal boss of the Yan family, but he can rest assured of the rebellious Yan Luan. In less than a month, the Yan family will be in catastrophe. ..."
Hearing what he said, Chi Heng was so angry that he kicked him hard without saying a word.
Yuanzhou King instinctively knelt forward, and when his knees were about to touch the ground, Chi Heng grabbed him by the hair and pulled him up. The action was rude and impatient: "I told you, shut up!"
The king of Yuanzhou had disheveled hair and was in a state of embarrassment. He still had a smile on his face: "This king is unarmed, and his subordinates are far away, beyond the reach of the whip. Why should a strong man go to war like this? Excuse me, should I get on the horse first, or you invite me first?"
On this one horse, obviously they can only ride together.
Chi Heng took off Yuanzhou King's belt and tied his hands in a knot, and pushed forward: "Get out!"
The king of Yuanzhou was very obedient, and stepped on the horse in an awkward posture.
Holding a big knife in his hand, Chi Heng said to those generals who were about to draw swords, "Go back!" Until those generals were a little far away, Chi Heng flew on his horse, holding the reins in one hand and a knife in the other, Hold the horse's belly and gallop forward.
The black horse also knew how to play, raised its black hooves to catch up with the wind and the moon, and galloped all the way along the river, running for more than ten miles at a stretch.He ran wildly along the river, because this road was the closest to Yizhou City, and other roads were complicated, and troubles were inevitable.
There are few people along the way, one is in troubled times, and the other is that there have long been rumors that Huo Chi is coming, so they all stay at home cautiously.Occasionally, there are two plowing figures in the grass, and when they see horsemen, they also quickly get into the grass.The king of Yuanzhou who was tied up was very sensible, and he didn't say anything or struggle immediately, with a faint smile on his lips.Whether it is a princely manner or letting nature take its course, he has never struggled, and Chi Heng didn't think too much about it when he thought that was his face.
The scenery by the river was different from before, the terrain was high and steep, the water had become turbulent, surging, and the sound of water was rushing.
Chi Heng felt that his hand was getting more and more itchy, and when he rubbed the handle of the knife, it hurt, as if the barb was getting harder and harder.At first it was just in the flesh, but soon the whole hand felt uncomfortable.The knife sank again, and he secretly tried to hold the big knife tightly.This force doesn't matter, he almost cried out in pain, because the barb-like pain pierced directly into the skin.
With a bang, the sword fell straight to the ground.
"Woo--" Chi Heng hurriedly reined in the rein and returned to the horse. When he reached the place where the knife fell, he held the rein in one hand and jumped off the horse. As soon as he bent down, his heart twitched again, and his hand touched the handle of the knife. Immediately, the pain burst into flames, not only his hands, but also his whole body. He quickly looked at his palms, arms and legs, but found nothing abnormal.
Chi Heng was startled, it was as if hundreds of nubs were placed on the soles of his feet in an instant, and it hurt, and when he moved, the pain came like a tide.He stood still, motionless.Looking up at the sky, the sky seemed to be much darker, and began to shake slowly.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that he has been tricked.
The king of Yuanzhou, who was sitting on the black horse, did not run away. He got off the horse slowly, and said with his hands behind his back, "Don't you know that this king is best at poisoning? Few people are as unscrupulous as you to ride a horse with this king. Really, young and ignorant!"
Chi Heng knelt on the ground, wishing he could give him a knife immediately.
No matter how careful he was, he would never have imagined that the invisible and invisible poison would suddenly prick him with thorns. This kind of rare thing, how could it... the more he was angry, the more itchy and painful he finally understood. Why did the state king irritate himself several times.
The wind was rustling, and the king of Yuanzhou looked at the river in front of him.He didn't go forward, but cautiously moved a little further away from the horse, and was also a few feet away from Chi Heng.
Along with the wind, a faint fragrance hit Chi Heng's nose, and each strand softened his meridians a little.What to do with this, Chi Heng spread his palms, covering the gravel to try to wipe off the blood, who knew that his hands and feet would cramp as soon as he touched it, and it didn't help.Just now when the hand was getting more and more itchy, I realized something was wrong, and it was too late to regret.
Only the legs still barely supported the strength of the whole body.
But it can't last long, the treacherous fragrance has penetrated into his body, Chi Heng can feel the blood stagnation, going down the meridians, his legs and feet are gradually weak and glued.
An eerie silence, no one speaks,
The sound of horseshoes sounded, and Chi Heng looked back with difficulty. Three horses were galloping towards him. Guarding the dilapidated King Yan's army is just a dead end. For the sake of each being the master, I don't blame you for recklessly holding you hostage today. You are young and brave, and you are a malleable talent. This king will spare you from dying, and promise You have the position of guarding the army. Within two months, Yuanzhou will definitely return to the king!" The last sentence was resounding.
Seeing the three generals on the horses flying down one after another.
Chi Heng touched the knife with his fingers, and King Yuanzhou took a step back vigilantly.Chi Heng pressed his heart, and the heartbeat slowed down. He smiled contemptuously: "A defeated general, a bereaved dog, overestimate his own strength!"
The face of Yuanzhou King changed: "Kill!"
The general Youdu immediately took up the bow and arrow, and Chi Heng jumped up violently, turned over and entered the river.
The river was falling from a high place, and it was rushing fast. A violent wave instantly wrapped him up and pushed him into the cliff. In the blink of an eye, the gray clothes disappeared.
Youdu took a bow and shot a few arrows at the river, and the arrows entered the river without sound.
The river was tumbling, and the king of Yuanzhou sighed it was a pity.
Not to mention that the king of Yuanzhou and his generals rode away on horseback. The sound of the water suppressed the clouds, and the sky became blue.Here Cen Pojing wiped out hundreds of remnants of soldiers, the river was stained with blood, but Chi Heng did not return.
After waiting for a while, the more he waited, the more uneasy he became. He ordered the black wolves to take the prisoner back, and he and two or three black wolves rode on horses and went forward along the road.
A lying dead horse was soon found.
Cen Pojing recognized that it was Zuo Hujun's mount. It looked like a mess after a fierce battle, but there was no one there.
The more they thought about it, the weirder it became, so they hurriedly galloped forward, and asked as they went. Some children who had seen them showed them the way, saying that there were people fighting by the river, and they all ran away after hitting each other.
The grass by the river was soft, and the horse's hoof made a mark. Seeing the hoof prints of at least four horses moving forward, a sense of ominousness welled up in his heart, and Cen Pojing galloped his horse.
At the place where the current was the most rapid, he saw a black horse wandering.
The black horse lowered its head, sniffing something on the ground.
Looking closer, it was a big knife.Chi Heng's unremarkable knife was lying on the ground, the blade was dull, not even a drop of blood.Cen Pojing got off his horse to check the footprints. There were many and chaotic footprints. In the end, it was obvious that three horses had left here.Then he got up slowly, looked at the rushing river, felt a chill in his heart, confused for a while, got up and told Hei Lang: "Go! Ask the people next to you one by one, and don't let anyone miss what you see. Down!"
The black wolf left in response.
There was no one around, Cen Pojing picked up Chi Heng's broadsword, frowned towards the river, stood there for a long time without saying a word.

The cloud forest is covered with pine trees, the water lily buds float in the water, and the scenery in early autumn is picturesque.
Chi Heng woke up from the pain.
He fell into a dazed stupor, but after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, it was as if a raging fire ignited in his stomach, blazing wildly, waking him up from the stupor.The pain was unbearable, he opened his eyes, his vision was blurred, and after overlapping several times, he finally saw clearly: a [-] or [-]-year-old boy was holding a bowl in one hand, while jumping, with a look of burning eyebrows, he kept shouting: "What's the matter?" What to do, what to do, what to do."
Lying on his back, Chi Heng managed to put away his distracted thoughts, endured the pain and lowered his head to see that a bowl of hot black concoction was dripping all over his stomach.
Suddenly crying.
"Put down the bowl. Scoop up cold water. Rinse it." Chi Heng spoke with a hoarse voice.
Hearing Chi Heng's words for the first time, the boy jumped again in shock, suddenly panicked and put the bowl on the table with a bang, scooped up a large ladle of water in a hurry, and with a bang, Chi Heng's stomach I poured it all over.
Speechlessly watching the boy's hands and feet make the situation the worst, the only consolation is that Chi Heng found that his hands and feet are no longer itchy or painful, but very weak.He recalled that after he jumped into the big river, he let the rapids beat him, dragged him into the cliff, and then he was unconscious.From this point of view, he survived the catastrophe and was rescued by this young man.
Before Chi Heng could inquire, the boy had already been swept out of the door like the wind, and then came back like the wind, holding something like a rag in his hand, and wiped the messy bed dry.After jumping around for a while, he finally collapsed to the side, gasping for breath.
When the boy stopped jumping, Chi Heng asked who he was.
Hearing his words, the young man suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "My name is An Cuo, and I am a doctor. If you meet me, you will be saved. Wait, I will make you a bowl of medicine."
I can't stop it even if I want to.
Chi Heng opened his mouth wide, smelling the smell of medicine in the room, he couldn't believe that An Cuo was a doctor, at least he had never seen such a rough half-doctor doctor.An Cuo is about the same age as Chi Heng, but far weaker than Chi Heng, with a dimple around his mouth when he smiles, he looks shy.As long as he doesn't jump his feet, anyone will think he is very smart when he stands there; when he jumps his feet, his true colors are revealed, not to mention his hands and feet, which make people feel anxious.
To treat people?Forget it, it's almost the same as making people sick.
After a full hour, Chi Heng waited for this bowl of medicine.The medicine was as thick as ink, with a strong musty smell, and it made me want to vomit. Chi Heng raised his hand and pinched his nose with all his strength: "What is this? I won't take it!"
"Why don't you eat it? I know how much effort I have spent!" An Cuo glared.
"I'm not sick." Chi Heng took a breath.
"Not sick? Didn't you feel itchy and sore all over before you fell into the river? You got the 'seven-day itch', don't know anything. If you hadn't met me, you would be so itchy that you would die now " An Cuo sneered, and sat down on the edge of the bed carelessly.
This doctor seems to be reliable, at least he knows his symptoms without saying anything, Chi Heng is relieved.
"But I don't itch now."
An Cuo scratched his head, and raised his head as a matter of course: "Of course I know that you don't itch anymore. I helped you detoxify you when you were in a coma, but you hurt your breath and you need to make up for it. Do you have no strength now? ? If you want to lie in bed for the rest of your life, don’t eat it!”
Chi Heng hesitated and opened his mouth.An Cuo took a spoon and fed him one by one, the movements were skillful, and he looked at Chi Heng triumphantly.
"You should be glad you met me. If it were someone else, you would die of pain when you woke up."
Chi Heng said helplessly, "Thank you benefactor, where is this?"
"Mount Huo Luo."
Fire Mountain?Chi Heng was surprised, but he didn't go too far, it was still in the territory of Yizhou, but the Huo Luoshan's radius of a hundred miles was Huo Chi's territory, which was really bad.
"When will I be well?"
"It's hard to say, you have to stay here for at least seven days before you know." An Cuo said leisurely, "Seven days, the poison can be completely removed. After all, whoever is so poisonous will harm you, 'seven-day itch' is rare Treasures are not easy for ordinary people to get."
"What is itching for seven days? I was mowing grass by the river, and suddenly it started to itch." Chi Heng thought about his words, it is better to conceal the truth.
After hearing this, An Cuo didn't ask deeply, but became happy instead: "In order to cure the 'seven-day itch', I gave you heavy medicine. Are you feeling weak now? It doesn't matter, it will be fine soon. Yes Now, do you want someone to send a message to your parents?"
I don't know how Cen Pojing is, he must be very anxious if he can't find himself.Send a message back?I'm afraid that if it is Liang Qianlie's person, he will be arrested and thrown into the dungeon.
Chi Heng shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm the only one in the whole family."
Parents are gone?An Cuo said sympathetically: "Then you should stay honestly for seven or eight days. What's your name? My master and senior brother are not here, just waiting for you to recover a little strength, and then you can come and help me with work. I'm almost tired." died."
I don't know what kind of work can make An Cuo worry. Chi Heng lay on the bed, feeling the strength in his hands increasing little by little, and his mood became more relaxed. He slipped through the ghost gate and escaped so easily. If he said it, he still felt uncomfortable. The place where it is, is that the face is tensed little by little for no reason.
About two hours later, it was already afternoon, Chi Heng got out of bed with all his strength.
The autumn wind is cool.
An Cuo was sitting on a small stool at the door, humming a little song and smoking a bamboo and rattan basket. When he saw Chi Heng going out, he waved happily: "Yo, can you get down now? Come on, give me a chop!" Zhutiao, I'm exhausted!"
Not at all.
Unable to explain, Chi Heng picked up the hatchet, his fingers felt numb, and barely cut it a few times.Perhaps the bones and muscles became active, and they became more vigorous. The chopping became easier and easier, and finally the chopping was very fast.
An Cuo was overjoyed.
In addition to being frizzy, An Cuo was quick to weave the pannier, his fingers shuttled between the bamboo strips like a snake, and he quickly wove one. The brand new bamboo green color is refreshing.Put it on your back, the size of the basket is just right: "Then someone, Chi Heng, take advantage of the good weather, and go pick some herbs with me."
Chi Heng looked at the sky, the sun was setting and the dusk was like weaving.
"It doesn't matter, some herbs are only effective when they are stained with dew. Besides, we are not going to collect herbs, but to find stones. You will know what kind of stones you get when you arrive." There is a lot, and after a while, something pours out.For example, the master went to Yuanzhou to see a doctor; he wanted to find stones, so he built a broken shed here to live in; Collect, and only on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, and it will wither after the expiration date; and other strange herbs, talk about it endlessly.
An Cuo also asked Chi Heng about various matters, but Chi Heng answered vaguely.
The mountain road was rough, and Chi Heng was sweating profusely on his forehead. He wiped it. He noticed something was wrong. He looked at the sleeve and almost jumped up in shock. The sleeve was dyed light red. He hurriedly grabbed An Cuo and stammered and asked: "I see what happened to my forehead?"
An Cuo was not surprised at all, just shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, you took my medicine, and the poison will be discharged."
Chi Heng settled down.
An Cuo, who was dancing all the way, suddenly stopped: "Wait, I'm going to pay homage to the Lord of the Land."
It turned out that there was a land god here, and it was leveled on the side of the mountain, and a short land god tablet was placed, with incense stuck obliquely in front of the tablet.An Cuo respectfully bowed three times, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "Okay, don't you want to bow?"
Chi Heng followed his example and also bowed three times.
After brushing off the dust, the two of them left the Land God a few steps away when they suddenly heard a shout: "An' dumb, an' dumb, I'll tell your fortune."
Chi Heng looked back and saw a bearded Taoist priest waving at himself and An Cuo from behind.
An Cuo is clearly articulate, so why is he called "An Dumb"?
The Taoist priest's face was dusty and cheerful, with a scruffy beard, he looked like a fortune-teller on the street.The Taoist put the bag with the arms hanging on the grass, and looked at Chi Heng: "This little brother with a red face looks like a man, he is not from Mount Huoluo. What's wrong with his face? You made it look like this again ?” The last sentence was said by looking at An Cuo.
Chi Heng was a little puzzled, his own face was not the reddish red of Guan Gong's face, it seemed to be caused by poisonous discharge.
On the side, An Cuo waved anxiously: "Fortune, fortune-telling."
Seeing it is common but never counted, Chi Heng is very interested: "Does it count as a lifetime?"
The Taoist priest took off his straw sandals, knocked them on the ground, put them on again, grinned, and his front teeth turned yellow: "Fortune-telling is divided into different types. Fate belongs to fate, and luck belongs to luck. For a while, it can be as long as a few months or as short as a few days, and the poor can occasionally count a few accurately. Look at this little brother with a dragon palace, a full seal, and a rich and powerful appearance... Do you want to count it as a peach blossom?" A liaozi spoke in a high-sounding manner, and the last smile was very obscene.
An Cuo sneered: "Hey, last time I said I was lucky, but as a result, I have even hit girls face to face."
"Who told you to surround Huoluo Mountain with herbs all day long? Even giving you a peach blossom tree won't help!" The Taoist took out a lottery and said courteously, "Brother, come here and shake a marriage."
The kindness is hard to refuse, Chi Heng held the stick in his hand, shook it again and again, flicked it down, and threw out a stick.
The Taoist was happy: "Sign it up."
"What is the allusion?"
"This lot, there is an allusion here. In ancient times, there was a man, a great gentleman, and there was a beautiful woman on the east wall of his house. He had a special liking for him. If he jumped over the wall, the woman would belong to him; he If she didn't dance, cough, that woman wouldn't come over the wall, would she? Brother, your good match has come, and if you like someone, just go up and talk to him, but if there is any hesitation, this good match will go away. "The old Taoist spoke eloquently.
Thinking about it, Chi Heng thinks it makes sense, isn't Zhong Xu the "beautiful woman" on the east wall.Then he felt in his pocket, but it was empty, not even a penny.
An Cuo pouted at the Taoist priest: "I haven't picked any medicine today, so I'll give you a big tonic plant another day."
[Note: Yuelao Temple lottery-fifth lottery: if you go beyond the east wall and hug your virgin son, you will get a wife, and if you don't hug him, you won't have a wife. ]

An Cuo pulled Chi Heng away.
Under the golden light, the mountains and forests are quiet, and the mountains are all covered with gold. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, it is very dazzling and peaceful.Huo blamed this disaster, Huoluo Mountain was also rumored to be a den of thieves, who would have thought that walking around and seeing it in this autumn, Chi Heng had some different ideas.
Seeing his concentration, An Zuo smiled and said, "This is the Xijin tree. The leaves turn golden yellow in early autumn and look like fire in late autumn. That's why Huoluo Mountain got its name. Where there are many Xijin trees, there will be no copper or iron. Minerals, but it is rich in a kind of sapphire, which has honeycomb-like lines, which can be used as medicine to dispel wind and dampness, and treat red eyes, swelling and pain. Some women also grind sapphire into bracelets and pretend to be jasper.”
Chi Heng sat on the rock, looked at the scenery, and dug up the half-dried herbs.
Khan lowered the stone, splashing blood.Although An Cuo always said nothing was wrong, but looking at the blood and sweat one by one, Chi Heng dug the soil with a small shovel and asked, "Do you live on Huoluo Mountain? Why do you live so far away? It takes a lot to see a disease."
An Cuo shook his head: "We were originally in Yuanzhou. We were invited here by Huo Chi because of the human plague in Yishan and Huoluoshan."
"Human plague?" Chi Heng was startled, he had never heard of a plague in the huge Yizhou.
"Of course you don't know. How could you spread the word about this kind of thing before Huo scolded it? But don't worry, since we came, this plague has been brought under control." An Cuo said calmly, "I just don't know why, Yuan Rumors broke out in Zhoucheng, so my master rushed there."
"Yuanzhou City? Is it important?"
He suddenly became nervous, and An Cuo was confused: "If it happens, it must be more serious. Because there are few people here, and most of them are working, at most they are lying at home and look like a disabled person. If someone dies, others should be treated as a sudden illness; Yuan Zhoucheng is different, there are many people, there are many rumors, saying that the wind is the rain, and a few days ago I heard that the sick people were buried on the spot."
Yan Luan got a very troublesome city.
Human plague is no different than others, it not only depletes the strong men, but also arouses people's panic. At this time, there must be some rumors about "the disaster star is in power", I am afraid that Yan Luan will be difficult to attack and even harder to defend.
Chi Heng felt like sitting on pins and needles.
An Cuo continued: "In fact, there is a sign that there will be a human plague. As early as March, there were green farming birds in the Yishan area. The green farming bird is a bird with green feathers and green legs. There are rumors in ancient times that when the green farming birds come out, there will be a great epidemic in the world."
"How many people died?"
"I'm just telling you that there were at least a hundred people before we came." An mistakenly pinched the herb and put it in the back basket, "Since we came, we have given all the people herbal medicine and prescriptions, and no one died. But it’s just that no one died, and more and more people fell ill.”
When An Cuo said this, he revealed a sense of compassion and melancholy, which is really the heart of a doctor's parents.
"There is no cure for this disease?"
"Yes. As long as we can find a kind of green and red water jasper, it is called crimson stone. Crimson stone can prevent the spread of human plague, and the sick people can also be saved."
"Where can I find this stone?"
"At night, when mixed with aquamarine, this kind of stone will emit a faint light." An Cuo pointed to the ground and said, "Let's turn it over one by one, and that's it."
What are you looking for?
No matter how unreliable it sounds, Chi Heng had a little fantasy: "Did your master ask you to look for it before he left?" This can also understand why there are two big sesame seed cakes in An Cuo's back basket, and he searched for them all night. Stone, if you don't eat something, you will collapse early.
Unexpectedly, An Cuo shook his head: "No, I came up with it myself."
Speechlessly looking at the confident An Cuo, Chi Heng thought that he must have been punished for falling into the hands of such a guy who did not do things right.Those green farming birds and water green stones seem to be nothingness no matter how they sound, could they be fabricated by An Cuo when he was bored, Chi Heng is dubious.
An Cuo cheerfully talked about the medicinal properties of herbs, eloquently.
Soon, it was dark.
The branches and leaves of the Xijin tree spread out like an umbrella cover, exuding a woody fragrance like pine and cypress, densely growing together, covering a lot of the light of the stars and the moon above the sky, and everywhere is dark and misplaced. Really patient, pointing to a tree, said: "I have searched for this large area, from here today to the west, turning over one by one, crimson stones are usually hidden under ordinary water and green stones."
After finishing speaking, he squatted on the ground and pushed aside the stones one by one with his hands.
The Shuibi stone was smaller than a finger, and the big one couldn't be hugged. Chi Heng flipped it over for a while.The wind was blowing slowly, and his forehead and shoulders began to sweat. Dozed off next to a stone.
I do not know how long it has been,
The hurricane blew up, turned up countless leaves, a chill woke Chi Heng up, he rubbed his eyes, the surroundings were still dark, a thin light shone from the sky, and it was peaceful.He turned his head and saw clearly that there was a figure in the distance. It was An Cuo. He was still turning over the water stones one by one without any intention of stopping. Judging from the distance between the two, An Cuo found at least two or more people. It's time.
His mind flashed like a wave, and Chi Heng stared at An Cuo's back, perhaps his eyes were in a trance, and he felt that An Cuo was also shrouded in a faint light.
Taking a deep breath, Chi Heng shouted, "An Cuo."
An made a mistake and turned around: "Hey, here..."
The two voices echoed each other in the dark night, startling several perched birds, fluttering and making chaotic noises, and then returned to tranquility.Chi Heng ran over, bowed his head and helped to find without saying a word.An Cuo smiled: "Are you awake? It can't be turned so fast, it's easy to miss."
Following An Cuo's example, carefully flipping through the pieces one by one, Chi Heng asked, "Aren't you tired?"
An Cuo's eyes were bright, and a pear blossom dimple appeared on his lips: "No! You must find it. When the master comes back, you will be able to see the wonders of Jiang Shi, and those who are sick will not be worried all the time. gone."
"Okay, let's find it together."
Although he was skeptical, Chi Heng looked for it more seriously than before, squatting down while wiping his sweat.The slender moon goes westward, and the sky is half-bright in a hurry.The two found nothing. Looking at the crimson twilight in the sky, An Cuo said regretfully: "It's dawn, and it's hard to find. We can only come back tonight. Let's go back and sleep quickly."
Chi Heng was disappointed, but An Cuo was used to it.
Back to the small stone house on the mountainside, An Cuo was busy driving again.
Walking back and forth like a bee: Boiled the black juice, and half-forced Chi Heng to drink it.After drinking the medicine, Chi Heng was extremely sleepy but couldn't fall asleep.And An Cuo boiled some ointment again, the smell is extremely weird, there are several large pots in the open air, in which there are medicinal materials such as Angelica dahurica, Sappan, Citrus aurantium, Akebia, Shen Xin, Gardenia, etc., and the bottom of the pot is burning. Raging fire.It is said that it is a healing medicine for Huo Chu's subordinates. Now it is a few big pots, and it is only a small bucket after refining.
After setting up the fire, I went to wash the medicinal herbs immediately, and after washing, I was very busy.
After a long time, the sound of walking stopped, and Chi Heng became worried.
He got up and found the backyard, and saw An lying on the herbs sprawled across the ground, sleeping with all his clothes on, snoring slightly, indicating extreme sleepiness and fatigue.Chi Heng pushed him, but there was no reaction at all. He looked around and saw that there was no one else in this wasteland. Chi Heng carried An Cuo back to the bed and let him sleep peacefully.
He himself walked to the medicine pot, looked at the bubbling medicine, smelled the strong medicine smell, hesitated for a moment, squatted down to add firewood and set fire.
I was so busy that my face was covered with ashes, and I wiped the red and ashes with my hands.
Chi Heng thought, An Cuo's master must be a very powerful person, otherwise he wouldn't be invited to the mountain by Huo Chi, and then to Yuanzhou City, maybe he is talking to Yan Luan now.He had heard the legend of the green farming bird. This kind of catastrophic bird meant disaster, but it also meant a harbinger of changing the world. Could it be that the fate of the Yuanxi Dynasty was coming to an end?Chi Heng laughed at himself, it doesn't matter whose dynasty it is, the only way to end the dispute as soon as possible is king.
Just after adding firewood, An Cuo ran out of the room, staggered, and said loudly, "You! What are you doing?"
Chi Heng looked at An Cuo with a flushed face in bewilderment: "The firewood is about to go out, so add some fire."
"You didn't add... anything to the medicine, did you?" An Cuo said nervously, his round eyes were very frightened, "This medicine is life-threatening, there can't be a little... mistake."
"No."
After being silent for a while, An Cuo breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few struggles, he confessed: "I don't know if you are a soldier of Yizhou or a soldier of Yuanzhou King. Anyway, you are not a soldier of Huo Chu. No matter who is the leader, the ones who use medicine are soldiers. , you can't..."
Chi Heng looked at him: "I know, I didn't move, how do you know I'm a soldier?"
"Hand full of cocoons, it looks like it was made with a knife." An Cuo asked with wide eyes, "This medicine is a secret medicine, and you can't go wrong with it. Is it true that no ingredients were added to the medicine?"
"If you don't believe me, try it on me first after you finish practicing."
An made a mistake, smiled embarrassedly, swished his sleeves and pretended to bow: "Brother Chi, I judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I wrongly blamed you."
Chi Heng snorted: "I just look like a bad guy."
"Of course it's not bad. The camps are opposite, and you can't help yourself." An Cuo sighed and smiled, "Whose soldier are you, don't worry, I won't say anything. I am a doctor, in my eyes There are only two kinds of people here: those who are sick and those who are well.”
"Liang Qianlie from Yizhou."
"Oh, I've never treated a disease before, so I don't know what it's like. Swords and guns have no eyes. I often meet people who have been cut off and have their hands and feet cut off. Don't be a soldier, follow me... master to learn medicine. Healing diseases is very interesting. , People who were about to die were alive and kicking the next day, which is more than killing people. It is even more amazing to dig up uncommon herbs, and it is more fun than digging up gold." An Cuo danced and laughed, and the smile was very childish.
This is what everyone deserves.
"Let me teach you a few sets of boxing techniques. It will take physical strength to collect herbs in the future."
"It's useless, brother Huo taught me, but I can't remember it. I'm thin and thin, and my whole body is full of muscles and bones." An Cuo raised his sleeves and bulged the flesh on his shoulders and arms. He was as thin as firewood, and he bulged Little bit, make Chi Heng amused
The displeasure of being suspected was also swept away.
After laughing, An Cuo suddenly looked into Chi Heng's eyes, and murmured in confusion: "Why are the eyes turning red, do you feel something is wrong?"

After laughing, An Cuo suddenly looked into Chi Heng's eyes, and murmured in confusion: "Why are the eyes turning red, do you feel something is wrong?"
Chi Heng hesitated: "Yes, I'm sweating all over my body, and my face is still tense. Is there a mirror?"
An Cuo immediately shook his head and said, "It's right to sweat, but why is your face like this?"
As soon as he said that, Chi Heng's heart became flustered, what kind of treatment did this half-baked man make of himself, and he immediately grabbed him and asked him what was going on.An Cuo refused to speak at first, and Chi Heng refused to let go.In the end, An Cuo was really guilty, and said: "The seven-day itch is no small matter. Once you wake up, you will definitely be in pain, so I prescribed the most violent purple fu medicine..."
"Well, then what?"
"Fighting poison with poison is too fierce. Zifu specializes in the toxicity of the seven-day itch, but there is also a downside: if you use too much, it will cause excessive fire, resulting in imbalance of yin and yang, and weak kidneys." An Cuo's voice became lower and lower, He said vaguely, "So you will feel weak all over and break out in red sweat."
Chi Heng couldn't hear clearly in the fog, so he asked: "What will happen, I can explain it clearly."
"To put it bluntly, it's: kidney deficiency, impotence, early pregnancy and so on."
Upon hearing this, Chi Heng jumped up: "What...you...you didn't use less in the past." This life is a tragedy.
"So, after you woke up yesterday, I immediately gave another medicine that is specially designed to counteract purple fu." An Cuo tried hard to argue, very seriously, "It is very effective in nourishing the kidney and strengthening the yang. It is very rare, and I am not stingy."
What does it mean not to be stingy?
Well, none of this is the point, Chi Heng said anxiously: "But I'm still sweating non-stop, and my face is hardened into a piece." Not only was I sweating, but my whole body began to tense, especially my face. When I said it, it felt like a tortoise shell being stretched into pieces, and I wished I could pick it off immediately.
An Cuo was thinking hard.
Chi Heng reminded feebly: "Isn't it, what kind of panacea is too powerful?
In all fairness, he neither likes nor dislikes the King of Yuanzhou, let alone wants to kill him. Capturing the King of Yuanzhou and returning to the city is just to do his duty and make meritorious service.
Seeing that he remained calm, the King of Yuanzhou changed the subject: "Yes, Liang Qianlie and Yan Luan have a good relationship, but what does Yan Luan have? Military power? Just a few old ministries? Is there a city? Just a Yuanzhou city, the emperor sent If a prefect goes, he has to..."
"Shut up!" Chi Heng was furious suddenly, and pushed the knife forward, "Don't blame my knife sharpness."
His knife is blunt, like a block of iron on the skin, it can't even chop pork, and it has no lethality. It is only extremely sharp when it is full of power.With this angry push, Yuanzhou's neck immediately bled.The King of Yuanzhou was in pain, and was even more surprised by Chi Heng's moodiness. He looked indifferent just now, and was taken aback for a moment. After thinking about it, although he didn't know the reason, the kid in front of him either couldn't listen to Yan Luan or Yuan Zhoucheng was excited when he heard it.
He twisted the front of his white robe, becoming more calm.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been born in youth. Last time you led troops to break through my king's Beiguan, this king took care of it. It's a pity that you are still following Liang Qianlie. You are just a reckless man who only knows how to fight. This king is a prince. He has a fief and a land. The title, there is..." It is nothing more than Xu Gongming, Xu Lilu, and Xu Yunshen's unknown Jinse prospect.
Chi Heng didn't even bother to listen, thinking about how to escape.
After Xu Shi fought for a long time, he found that his hands were a little soft, and his palms were full of sweat.The three generals in front are staring at each other, it's really difficult to deal with.
"I thought I lost Yuanzhou and had nowhere to go, but I didn't know that I was taking a long-term view." The king of Yuanzhou suddenly changed the subject and said emphatically, "Yan Luan can't defeat Yuanzhou, the emperor will kill him sooner or later." ;He defeated Yuanzhou, so naturally someone will consume him to death, heh, don’t think that he is so frivolous now that he falls down worse than anyone else, not only him, but also his family. Hmph!"
"Shut up! Let your soldiers die far away!" Chi Heng was anxious, his heart twitched suddenly, the strength in his hand softened again, and it was still a little itchy, he couldn't help rubbing the knife with his palm handle.
When he rubbed against each other, Yuanzhou Wang faintly smiled strangely, and waved at his subordinates: "Yudu, you all step back."
Chi Heng felt that the palm of his hand was not only itchy, but also a little painful, like a barb.
The king of Yuanzhou turned around and said to him, "Don't worry, with this king in your hands, they will not act rashly. Does Liang Qianlie want to join forces with Yan Luan? That is also a dead end. It is impossible for the emperor to cut Yan Wangjun into what it is now. Unsteady, together, he still has the eye of a needle? The emperor doesn't even worry about the loyal boss of the Yan family, but he can rest assured of the rebellious Yan Luan. In less than a month, the Yan family will be in catastrophe. ..."
Hearing what he said, Chi Heng was so angry that he kicked him hard without saying a word.
Yuanzhou King instinctively knelt forward, and when his knees were about to touch the ground, Chi Heng grabbed him by the hair and pulled him up. The action was rude and impatient: "I told you, shut up!"
The king of Yuanzhou had disheveled hair and was in a state of embarrassment. He still had a smile on his face: "This king is unarmed, and his subordinates are far away, beyond the reach of the whip. Why should a strong man go to war like this? Excuse me, should I get on the horse first, or you invite me first?"
On this one horse, obviously they can only ride together.
Chi Heng took off Yuanzhou King's belt and tied his hands in a knot, and pushed forward: "Get out!"
The king of Yuanzhou was very obedient, and stepped on the horse in an awkward posture.
Holding a big knife in his hand, Chi Heng said to those generals who were about to draw swords, "Go back!" Until those generals were a little far away, Chi Heng flew on his horse, holding the reins in one hand and a knife in the other, Hold the horse's belly and gallop forward.
The black horse also knew how to play, raised its black hooves to catch up with the wind and the moon, and galloped all the way along the river, running for more than ten miles at a stretch.He ran wildly along the river, because this road was the closest to Yizhou City, and other roads were complicated, and troubles were inevitable.
There are few people along the way, one is in troubled times, and the other is that there have long been rumors that Huo Chi is coming, so they all stay at home cautiously.Occasionally, there are two plowing figures in the grass, and when they see horsemen, they also quickly get into the grass.The king of Yuanzhou who was tied up was very sensible, and he didn't say anything or struggle immediately, with a faint smile on his lips.Whether it is a princely manner or letting nature take its course, he has never struggled, and Chi Heng didn't think too much about it when he thought that was his face.
The scenery by the river was different from before, the terrain was high and steep, the water had become turbulent, surging, and the sound of water was rushing.
Chi Heng felt that his hand was getting more and more itchy, and when he rubbed the handle of the knife, it hurt, as if the barb was getting harder and harder.At first it was just in the flesh, but soon the whole hand felt uncomfortable.The knife sank again, and he secretly tried to hold the big knife tightly.This force doesn't matter, he almost cried out in pain, because the barb-like pain pierced directly into the skin.
With a bang, the sword fell straight to the ground.
"Woo--" Chi Heng hurriedly reined in the rein and returned to the horse. When he reached the place where the knife fell, he held the rein in one hand and jumped off the horse. As soon as he bent down, his heart twitched again, and his hand touched the handle of the knife. Immediately, the pain burst into flames, not only his hands, but also his whole body. He quickly looked at his palms, arms and legs, but found nothing abnormal.
Chi Heng was startled, it was as if hundreds of nubs were placed on the soles of his feet in an instant, and it hurt, and when he moved, the pain came like a tide.He stood still, motionless.Looking up at the sky, the sky seemed to be much darker, and began to shake slowly.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that he has been tricked.
The king of Yuanzhou, who was sitting on the black horse, did not run away. He got off the horse slowly, and said with his hands behind his back, "Don't you know that this king is best at poisoning? Few people are as unscrupulous as you to ride a horse with this king. Really, young and ignorant!"
Chi Heng knelt on the ground, wishing he could give him a knife immediately.
No matter how careful he was, he would never have imagined that the invisible and invisible poison would suddenly prick him with thorns. This kind of rare thing, how could it... the more he was angry, the more itchy and painful he finally understood. Why did the state king irritate himself several times.
The wind was rustling, and the king of Yuanzhou looked at the river in front of him.He didn't go forward, but cautiously moved a little further away from the horse, and was also a few feet away from Chi Heng.
Along with the wind, a faint fragrance hit Chi Heng's nose, and each strand softened his meridians a little.What to do with this, Chi Heng spread his palms, covering the gravel to try to wipe off the blood, who knew that his hands and feet would cramp as soon as he touched it, and it didn't help.Just now when the hand was getting more and more itchy, I realized something was wrong, and it was too late to regret.
Only the legs still barely supported the strength of the whole body.
But it can't last long, the treacherous fragrance has penetrated into his body, Chi Heng can feel the blood stagnation, going down the meridians, his legs and feet are gradually weak and glued.
An eerie silence, no one speaks,
The sound of horseshoes sounded, and Chi Heng looked back with difficulty. Three horses were galloping towards him. Guarding the dilapidated King Yan's army is just a dead end. For the sake of each being the master, I don't blame you for recklessly holding you hostage today. You are young and brave, and you are a malleable talent. This king will spare you from dying, and promise You have the position of guarding the army. Within two months, Yuanzhou will definitely return to the king!" The last sentence was resounding.
Seeing the three generals on the horses flying down one after another.
Chi Heng touched the knife with his fingers, and King Yuanzhou took a step back vigilantly.Chi Heng pressed his heart, and the heartbeat slowed down. He smiled contemptuously: "A defeated general, a bereaved dog, overestimate his own strength!"
The face of Yuanzhou King changed: "Kill!"
The general Youdu immediately took up the bow and arrow, and Chi Heng jumped up violently, turned over and entered the river.
The river was falling from a high place, and it was rushing fast. A violent wave instantly wrapped him up and pushed him into the cliff. In the blink of an eye, the gray clothes disappeared.
Youdu took a bow and shot a few arrows at the river, and the arrows entered the river without sound.
The river was tumbling, and the king of Yuanzhou sighed it was a pity.
Not to mention that the king of Yuanzhou and his generals rode away on horseback. The sound of the water suppressed the clouds, and the sky became blue.Here Cen Pojing wiped out hundreds of remnants of soldiers, the river was stained with blood, but Chi Heng did not return.
After waiting for a while, the more he waited, the more uneasy he became. He ordered the black wolves to take the prisoner back, and he and two or three black wolves rode on horses and went forward along the road.
A lying dead horse was soon found.
Cen Pojing recognized that it was Zuo Hujun's mount. It looked like a mess after a fierce battle, but there was no one there.
The more they thought about it, the weirder it became, so they hurriedly galloped forward, and asked as they went. Some children who had seen them showed them the way, saying that there were people fighting by the river, and they all ran away after hitting each other.
The grass by the river was soft, and the horse's hoof made a mark. Seeing the hoof prints of at least four horses moving forward, a sense of ominousness welled up in his heart, and Cen Pojing galloped his horse.
At the place where the current was the most rapid, he saw a black horse wandering.
The black horse lowered its head, sniffing something on the ground.
Looking closer, it was a big knife.Chi Heng's unremarkable knife was lying on the ground, the blade was dull, not even a drop of blood.Cen Pojing got off his horse to check the footprints. There were many and chaotic footprints. In the end, it was obvious that three horses had left here.Then he got up slowly, looked at the rushing river, felt a chill in his heart, confused for a while, got up and told Hei Lang: "Go! Ask the people next to you one by one, and don't let anyone miss what you see. Down!"
The black wolf left in response.
There was no one around, Cen Pojing picked up Chi Heng's broadsword, frowned towards the river, stood there for a long time without saying a word.

The cloud forest is covered with pine trees, the water lily buds float in the water, and the scenery in early autumn is picturesque.
Chi Heng woke up from the pain.
He fell into a dazed stupor, but after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, it was as if a raging fire ignited in his stomach, blazing wildly, waking him up from the stupor.The pain was unbearable, he opened his eyes, his vision was blurred, and after overlapping several times, he finally saw clearly: a [-] or [-]-year-old boy was holding a bowl in one hand, while jumping, with a look of burning eyebrows, he kept shouting: "What's the matter?" What to do, what to do, what to do."
Lying on his back, Chi Heng managed to put away his distracted thoughts, endured the pain and lowered his head to see that a bowl of hot black concoction was dripping all over his stomach.
Suddenly crying.
"Put down the bowl. Scoop up cold water. Rinse it." Chi Heng spoke with a hoarse voice.
Hearing Chi Heng's words for the first time, the boy jumped again in shock, suddenly panicked and put the bowl on the table with a bang, scooped up a large ladle of water in a hurry, and with a bang, Chi Heng's stomach I poured it all over.
Speechlessly watching the boy's hands and feet make the situation the worst, the only consolation is that Chi Heng found that his hands and feet are no longer itchy or painful, but very weak.He recalled that after he jumped into the big river, he let the rapids beat him, dragged him into the cliff, and then he was unconscious.From this point of view, he survived the catastrophe and was rescued by this young man.
Before Chi Heng could inquire, the boy had already been swept out of the door like the wind, and then came back like the wind, holding something like a rag in his hand, and wiped the messy bed dry.After jumping around for a while, he finally collapsed to the side, gasping for breath.
When the boy stopped jumping, Chi Heng asked who he was.
Hearing his words, the young man suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "My name is An Cuo, and I am a doctor. If you meet me, you will be saved. Wait, I will make you a bowl of medicine."
I can't stop it even if I want to.
Chi Heng opened his mouth wide, smelling the smell of medicine in the room, he couldn't believe that An Cuo was a doctor, at least he had never seen such a rough half-doctor doctor.An Cuo is about the same age as Chi Heng, but far weaker than Chi Heng, with a dimple around his mouth when he smiles, he looks shy.As long as he doesn't jump his feet, anyone will think he is very smart when he stands there; when he jumps his feet, his true colors are revealed, not to mention his hands and feet, which make people feel anxious.
To treat people?Forget it, it's almost the same as making people sick.
After a full hour, Chi Heng waited for this bowl of medicine.The medicine was as thick as ink, with a strong musty smell, and it made me want to vomit. Chi Heng raised his hand and pinched his nose with all his strength: "What is this? I won't take it!"
"Why don't you eat it? I know how much effort I have spent!" An Cuo glared.
"I'm not sick." Chi Heng took a breath.
"Not sick? Didn't you feel itchy and sore all over before you fell into the river? You got the 'seven-day itch', don't know anything. If you hadn't met me, you would be so itchy that you would die now " An Cuo sneered, and sat down on the edge of the bed carelessly.
This doctor seems to be reliable, at least he knows his symptoms without saying anything, Chi Heng is relieved.
"But I don't itch now."
An Cuo scratched his head, and raised his head as a matter of course: "Of course I know that you don't itch anymore. I helped you detoxify you when you were in a coma, but you hurt your breath and you need to make up for it. Do you have no strength now? ? If you want to lie in bed for the rest of your life, don’t eat it!”
Chi Heng hesitated and opened his mouth.An Cuo took a spoon and fed him one by one, the movements were skillful, and he looked at Chi Heng triumphantly.
"You should be glad you met me. If it were someone else, you would die of pain when you woke up."
Chi Heng said helplessly, "Thank you benefactor, where is this?"
"Mount Huo Luo."
Fire Mountain?Chi Heng was surprised, but he didn't go too far, it was still in the territory of Yizhou, but the Huo Luoshan's radius of a hundred miles was Huo Chi's territory, which was really bad.
"When will I be well?"
"It's hard to say, you have to stay here for at least seven days before you know." An Cuo said leisurely, "Seven days, the poison can be completely removed. After all, whoever is so poisonous will harm you, 'seven-day itch' is rare Treasures are not easy for ordinary people to get."
"What is itching for seven days? I was mowing grass by the river, and suddenly it started to itch." Chi Heng thought about his words, it is better to conceal the truth.
After hearing this, An Cuo didn't ask deeply, but became happy instead: "In order to cure the 'seven-day itch', I gave you heavy medicine. Are you feeling weak now? It doesn't matter, it will be fine soon. Yes Now, do you want someone to send a message to your parents?"
I don't know how Cen Pojing is, he must be very anxious if he can't find himself.Send a message back?I'm afraid that if it is Liang Qianlie's person, he will be arrested and thrown into the dungeon.
Chi Heng shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm the only one in the whole family."
Parents are gone?An Cuo said sympathetically: "Then you should stay honestly for seven or eight days. What's your name? My master and senior brother are not here, just waiting for you to recover a little strength, and then you can come and help me with work. I'm almost tired." died."
I don't know what kind of work can make An Cuo worry. Chi Heng lay on the bed, feeling the strength in his hands increasing little by little, and his mood became more relaxed. He slipped through the ghost gate and escaped so easily. If he said it, he still felt uncomfortable. The place where it is, is that the face is tensed little by little for no reason.
About two hours later, it was already afternoon, Chi Heng got out of bed with all his strength.
The autumn wind is cool.
An Cuo was sitting on a small stool at the door, humming a little song and smoking a bamboo and rattan basket. When he saw Chi Heng going out, he waved happily: "Yo, can you get down now? Come on, give me a chop!" Zhutiao, I'm exhausted!"
Not at all.
Unable to explain, Chi Heng picked up the hatchet, his fingers felt numb, and barely cut it a few times.Perhaps the bones and muscles became active, and they became more vigorous. The chopping became easier and easier, and finally the chopping was very fast.
An Cuo was overjoyed.
In addition to being frizzy, An Cuo was quick to weave the pannier, his fingers shuttled between the bamboo strips like a snake, and he quickly wove one. The brand new bamboo green color is refreshing.Put it on your back, the size of the basket is just right: "Then someone, Chi Heng, take advantage of the good weather, and go pick some herbs with me."
Chi Heng looked at the sky, the sun was setting and the dusk was like weaving.
"It doesn't matter, some herbs are only effective when they are stained with dew. Besides, we are not going to collect herbs, but to find stones. You will know what kind of stones you get when you arrive." There is a lot, and after a while, something pours out.For example, the master went to Yuanzhou to see a doctor; he wanted to find stones, so he built a broken shed here to live in; Collect, and only on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, and it will wither after the expiration date; and other strange herbs, talk about it endlessly.
An Cuo also asked Chi Heng about various matters, but Chi Heng answered vaguely.
The mountain road was rough, and Chi Heng was sweating profusely on his forehead. He wiped it. He noticed something was wrong. He looked at the sleeve and almost jumped up in shock. The sleeve was dyed light red. He hurriedly grabbed An Cuo and stammered and asked: "I see what happened to my forehead?"
An Cuo was not surprised at all, just shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, you took my medicine, and the poison will be discharged."
Chi Heng settled down.
An Cuo, who was dancing all the way, suddenly stopped: "Wait, I'm going to pay homage to the Lord of the Land."
It turned out that there was a land god here, and it was leveled on the side of the mountain, and a short land god tablet was placed, with incense stuck obliquely in front of the tablet.An Cuo respectfully bowed three times, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "Okay, don't you want to bow?"
Chi Heng followed his example and also bowed three times.
After brushing off the dust, the two of them left the Land God a few steps away when they suddenly heard a shout: "An' dumb, an' dumb, I'll tell your fortune."
Chi Heng looked back and saw a bearded Taoist priest waving at himself and An Cuo from behind.
An Cuo is clearly articulate, so why is he called "An Dumb"?
The Taoist priest's face was dusty and cheerful, with a scruffy beard, he looked like a fortune-teller on the street.The Taoist put the bag with the arms hanging on the grass, and looked at Chi Heng: "This little brother with a red face looks like a man, he is not from Mount Huoluo. What's wrong with his face? You made it look like this again ?” The last sentence was said by looking at An Cuo.
Chi Heng was a little puzzled, his own face was not the reddish red of Guan Gong's face, it seemed to be caused by poisonous discharge.
On the side, An Cuo waved anxiously: "Fortune, fortune-telling."
Seeing it is common but never counted, Chi Heng is very interested: "Does it count as a lifetime?"
The Taoist priest took off his straw sandals, knocked them on the ground, put them on again, grinned, and his front teeth turned yellow: "Fortune-telling is divided into different types. Fate belongs to fate, and luck belongs to luck. For a while, it can be as long as a few months or as short as a few days, and the poor can occasionally count a few accurately. Look at this little brother with a dragon palace, a full seal, and a rich and powerful appearance... Do you want to count it as a peach blossom?" A liaozi spoke in a high-sounding manner, and the last smile was very obscene.
An Cuo sneered: "Hey, last time I said I was lucky, but as a result, I have even hit girls face to face."
"Who told you to surround Huoluo Mountain with herbs all day long? Even giving you a peach blossom tree won't help!" The Taoist took out a lottery and said courteously, "Brother, come here and shake a marriage."
The kindness is hard to refuse, Chi Heng held the stick in his hand, shook it again and again, flicked it down, and threw out a stick.
The Taoist was happy: "Sign it up."
"What is the allusion?"
"This lot, there is an allusion here. In ancient times, there was a man, a great gentleman, and there was a beautiful woman on the east wall of his house. He had a special liking for him. If he jumped over the wall, the woman would belong to him; he If she didn't dance, cough, that woman wouldn't come over the wall, would she? Brother, your good match has come, and if you like someone, just go up and talk to him, but if there is any hesitation, this good match will go away. "The old Taoist spoke eloquently.
Thinking about it, Chi Heng thinks it makes sense, isn't Zhong Xu the "beautiful woman" on the east wall.Then he felt in his pocket, but it was empty, not even a penny.
An Cuo pouted at the Taoist priest: "I haven't picked any medicine today, so I'll give you a big tonic plant another day."
[Note: Yuelao Temple lottery-fifth lottery: if you go beyond the east wall and hug your virgin son, you will get a wife, and if you don't hug him, you won't have a wife. ]

An Cuo pulled Chi Heng away.
Under the golden light, the mountains and forests are quiet, and the mountains are all covered with gold. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, it is very dazzling and peaceful.Huo blamed this disaster, Huoluo Mountain was also rumored to be a den of thieves, who would have thought that walking around and seeing it in this autumn, Chi Heng had some different ideas.
Seeing his concentration, An Zuo smiled and said, "This is the Xijin tree. The leaves turn golden yellow in early autumn and look like fire in late autumn. That's why Huoluo Mountain got its name. Where there are many Xijin trees, there will be no copper or iron. Minerals, but it is rich in a kind of sapphire, which has honeycomb-like lines, which can be used as medicine to dispel wind and dampness, and treat red eyes, swelling and pain. Some women also grind sapphire into bracelets and pretend to be jasper.”
Chi Heng sat on the rock, looked at the scenery, and dug up the half-dried herbs.
Khan lowered the stone, splashing blood.Although An Cuo always said nothing was wrong, but looking at the blood and sweat one by one, Chi Heng dug the soil with a small shovel and asked, "Do you live on Huoluo Mountain? Why do you live so far away? It takes a lot to see a disease."
An Cuo shook his head: "We were originally in Yuanzhou. We were invited here by Huo Chi because of the human plague in Yishan and Huoluoshan."
"Human plague?" Chi Heng was startled, he had never heard of a plague in the huge Yizhou.
"Of course you don't know. How could you spread the word about this kind of thing before Huo scolded it? But don't worry, since we came, this plague has been brought under control." An Cuo said calmly, "I just don't know why, Yuan Rumors broke out in Zhoucheng, so my master rushed there."
"Yuanzhou City? Is it important?"
He suddenly became nervous, and An Cuo was confused: "If it happens, it must be more serious. Because there are few people here, and most of them are working, at most they are lying at home and look like a disabled person. If someone dies, others should be treated as a sudden illness; Yuan Zhoucheng is different, there are many people, there are many rumors, saying that the wind is the rain, and a few days ago I heard that the sick people were buried on the spot."
Yan Luan got a very troublesome city.
Human plague is no different than others, it not only depletes the strong men, but also arouses people's panic. At this time, there must be some rumors about "the disaster star is in power", I am afraid that Yan Luan will be difficult to attack and even harder to defend.
Chi Heng felt like sitting on pins and needles.
An Cuo continued: "In fact, there is a sign that there will be a human plague. As early as March, there were green farming birds in the Yishan area. The green farming bird is a bird with green feathers and green legs. There are rumors in ancient times that when the green farming birds come out, there will be a great epidemic in the world."
"How many people died?"
"I'm just telling you that there were at least a hundred people before we came." An mistakenly pinched the herb and put it in the back basket, "Since we came, we have given all the people herbal medicine and prescriptions, and no one died. But it’s just that no one died, and more and more people fell ill.”
When An Cuo said this, he revealed a sense of compassion and melancholy, which is really the heart of a doctor's parents.
"There is no cure for this disease?"
"Yes. As long as we can find a kind of green and red water jasper, it is called crimson stone. Crimson stone can prevent the spread of human plague, and the sick people can also be saved."
"Where can I find this stone?"
"At night, when mixed with aquamarine, this kind of stone will emit a faint light." An Cuo pointed to the ground and said, "Let's turn it over one by one, and that's it."
What are you looking for?
No matter how unreliable it sounds, Chi Heng had a little fantasy: "Did your master ask you to look for it before he left?" This can also understand why there are two big sesame seed cakes in An Cuo's back basket, and he searched for them all night. Stone, if you don't eat something, you will collapse early.
Unexpectedly, An Cuo shook his head: "No, I came up with it myself."
Speechlessly looking at the confident An Cuo, Chi Heng thought that he must have been punished for falling into the hands of such a guy who did not do things right.Those green farming birds and water green stones seem to be nothingness no matter how they sound, could they be fabricated by An Cuo when he was bored, Chi Heng is dubious.
An Cuo cheerfully talked about the medicinal properties of herbs, eloquently.
Soon, it was dark.
The branches and leaves of the Xijin tree spread out like an umbrella cover, exuding a woody fragrance like pine and cypress, densely growing together, covering a lot of the light of the stars and the moon above the sky, and everywhere is dark and misplaced. Really patient, pointing to a tree, said: "I have searched for this large area, from here today to the west, turning over one by one, crimson stones are usually hidden under ordinary water and green stones."
After finishing speaking, he squatted on the ground and pushed aside the stones one by one with his hands.
The Shuibi stone was smaller than a finger, and the big one couldn't be hugged. Chi Heng flipped it over for a while.The wind was blowing slowly, and his forehead and shoulders began to sweat. Dozed off next to a stone.
I do not know how long it has been,
The hurricane blew up, turned up countless leaves, a chill woke Chi Heng up, he rubbed his eyes, the surroundings were still dark, a thin light shone from the sky, and it was peaceful.He turned his head and saw clearly that there was a figure in the distance. It was An Cuo. He was still turning over the water stones one by one without any intention of stopping. Judging from the distance between the two, An Cuo found at least two or more people. It's time.
His mind flashed like a wave, and Chi Heng stared at An Cuo's back, perhaps his eyes were in a trance, and he felt that An Cuo was also shrouded in a faint light.
Taking a deep breath, Chi Heng shouted, "An Cuo."
An made a mistake and turned around: "Hey, here..."
The two voices echoed each other in the dark night, startling several perched birds, fluttering and making chaotic noises, and then returned to tranquility.Chi Heng ran over, bowed his head and helped to find without saying a word.An Cuo smiled: "Are you awake? It can't be turned so fast, it's easy to miss."
Following An Cuo's example, carefully flipping through the pieces one by one, Chi Heng asked, "Aren't you tired?"
An Cuo's eyes were bright, and a pear blossom dimple appeared on his lips: "No! You must find it. When the master comes back, you will be able to see the wonders of Jiang Shi, and those who are sick will not be worried all the time. gone."
"Okay, let's find it together."
Although he was skeptical, Chi Heng looked for it more seriously than before, squatting down while wiping his sweat.The slender moon goes westward, and the sky is half-bright in a hurry.The two found nothing. Looking at the crimson twilight in the sky, An Cuo said regretfully: "It's dawn, and it's hard to find. We can only come back tonight. Let's go back and sleep quickly."
Chi Heng was disappointed, but An Cuo was used to it.
Back to the small stone house on the mountainside, An Cuo was busy driving again.
Walking back and forth like a bee: Boiled the black juice, and half-forced Chi Heng to drink it.After drinking the medicine, Chi Heng was extremely sleepy but couldn't fall asleep.And An Cuo boiled some ointment again, the smell is extremely weird, there are several large pots in the open air, in which there are medicinal materials such as Angelica dahurica, Sappan, Citrus aurantium, Akebia, Shen Xin, Gardenia, etc., and the bottom of the pot is burning. Raging fire.It is said that it is a healing medicine for Huo Chu's subordinates. Now it is a few big pots, and it is only a small bucket after refining.
After setting up the fire, I went to wash the medicinal herbs immediately, and after washing, I was very busy.
After a long time, the sound of walking stopped, and Chi Heng became worried.
He got up and found the backyard, and saw An lying on the herbs sprawled across the ground, sleeping with all his clothes on, snoring slightly, indicating extreme sleepiness and fatigue.Chi Heng pushed him, but there was no reaction at all. He looked around and saw that there was no one else in this wasteland. Chi Heng carried An Cuo back to the bed and let him sleep peacefully.
He himself walked to the medicine pot, looked at the bubbling medicine, smelled the strong medicine smell, hesitated for a moment, squatted down to add firewood and set fire.
I was so busy that my face was covered with ashes, and I wiped the red and ashes with my hands.
Chi Heng thought, An Cuo's master must be a very powerful person, otherwise he wouldn't be invited to the mountain by Huo Chi, and then to Yuanzhou City, maybe he is talking to Yan Luan now.He had heard the legend of the green farming bird. This kind of catastrophic bird meant disaster, but it also meant a harbinger of changing the world. Could it be that the fate of the Yuanxi Dynasty was coming to an end?Chi Heng laughed at himself, it doesn't matter whose dynasty it is, the only way to end the dispute as soon as possible is king.
Just after adding firewood, An Cuo ran out of the room, staggered, and said loudly, "You! What are you doing?"
Chi Heng looked at An Cuo with a flushed face in bewilderment: "The firewood is about to go out, so add some fire."
"You didn't add... anything to the medicine, did you?" An Cuo said nervously, his round eyes were very frightened, "This medicine is life-threatening, there can't be a little... mistake."
"No."
After being silent for a while, An Cuo breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few struggles, he confessed: "I don't know if you are a soldier of Yizhou or a soldier of Yuanzhou King. Anyway, you are not a soldier of Huo Chu. No matter who is the leader, the ones who use medicine are soldiers. , you can't..."
Chi Heng looked at him: "I know, I didn't move, how do you know I'm a soldier?"
"Hand full of cocoons, it looks like it was made with a knife." An Cuo asked with wide eyes, "This medicine is a secret medicine, and you can't go wrong with it. Is it true that no ingredients were added to the medicine?"
"If you don't believe me, try it on me first after you finish practicing."
An made a mistake, smiled embarrassedly, swished his sleeves and pretended to bow: "Brother Chi, I judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I wrongly blamed you."
Chi Heng snorted: "I just look like a bad guy."
"Of course it's not bad. The camps are opposite, and you can't help yourself." An Cuo sighed and smiled, "Whose soldier are you, don't worry, I won't say anything. I am a doctor, in my eyes There are only two kinds of people here: those who are sick and those who are well.”
"Liang Qianlie from Yizhou."
"Oh, I've never treated a disease before, so I don't know what it's like. Swords and guns have no eyes. I often meet people who have been cut off and have their hands and feet cut off. Don't be a soldier, follow me... master to learn medicine. Healing diseases is very interesting. , People who were about to die were alive and kicking the next day, which is more than killing people. It is even more amazing to dig up uncommon herbs, and it is more fun than digging up gold." An Cuo danced and laughed, and the smile was very childish.
This is what everyone deserves.
"Let me teach you a few sets of boxing techniques. It will take physical strength to collect herbs in the future."
"It's useless, brother Huo taught me, but I can't remember it. I'm thin and thin, and my whole body is full of muscles and bones." An Cuo raised his sleeves and bulged the flesh on his shoulders and arms. He was as thin as firewood, and he bulged Little bit, make Chi Heng amused
The displeasure of being suspected was also swept away.
After laughing, An Cuo suddenly looked into Chi Heng's eyes, and murmured in confusion: "Why are the eyes turning red, do you feel something is wrong?"
32, [-]

After laughing, An Cuo suddenly looked into Chi Heng's eyes, and murmured in confusion: "Why are the eyes turning red, do you feel something is wrong?"
Chi Heng hesitated: "Yes, I'm sweating all over my body, and my face is still tense. Is there a mirror?"
An Cuo immediately shook his head and said, "It's right to sweat, but why is your face like this?"
As soon as he said that, Chi Heng's heart became flustered, what kind of treatment did this half-baked man make of himself, and he immediately grabbed him and asked him what was going on.An Cuo refused to speak at first, and Chi Heng refused to let go.In the end, An Cuo was really guilty, and said: "The seven-day itch is no small matter. Once you wake up, you will definitely be in pain, so I prescribed the most violent purple fu medicine..."
"Well, then what?"
"Fighting poison with poison is too fierce. Zifu specializes in the toxicity of the seven-day itch, but there is also a downside: if you use too much, it will cause excessive fire, resulting in imbalance of yin and yang, and weak kidneys." An Cuo's voice became lower and lower, He said vaguely, "So you will feel weak all over and break out in red sweat."
Chi Heng couldn't hear clearly in the fog, so he asked: "What will happen, I can explain it clearly."
"To put it bluntly, it's: kidney deficiency, impotence, early pregnancy and so on."
Upon hearing this, Chi Heng jumped up: "What...you...you didn't use less in the past." This life is a tragedy.
"So, after you woke up yesterday, I immediately gave another medicine that is specially designed to counteract purple fu." An Cuo tried hard to argue, very seriously, "It is very effective in nourishing the kidney and strengthening the yang. It is very rare, and I am not stingy."
What does it mean not to be stingy?
Well, none of this is the point, Chi Heng said anxiously: "But I'm still sweating non-stop, and my face is hardened into a piece." Not only was I sweating, but my whole body began to tense, especially my face. When I said it, it felt like a tortoise shell being stretched into pieces, and I wished I could pick it off immediately.
An Cuo was thinking hard.
Chi Heng reminded feebly: "Isn't it, what kind of panacea is too powerful?
