[Sword Three] Baili Maple

This guy came out of nowhere half a year ago. At that time, Hua Ling was squatting in the sea of ​​flowers collecting herbs, and watched the little deer pass through him without hindrance. At that time, she was petrified and cried. Come out, throw the wooden shovel and run to look for the elder brother.

"Big brother, big brother!! They are here again!! Hua Ling is scared!!!"

The little girl clutched her black robe tightly, and lowered her head as if she was afraid to look up and see something.

Pei Yuan was startled, then put down the wooden pestle in his hand, and patted the little girl who was hugging him tightly, "Don't be afraid, senior brother is here."

"Brother, they are here again, are they going to catch Hualing and go back?"

"Won't,"

Pei Yuan looked up and frowned slightly, "This is the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, no one can break in and take Hua Ling away."

"But, but Huating saw it!!"

"Have you watched Hua Ling carefully?"

"..."

The little girl hesitated for a while, then clenched the corner of the clothes she was holding tightly, as if to make sure that the backer was still there, then slowly raised her head, first looked at Pei Yuan with grievances, then turned her head to look in front of her. go.

Looking at it, she found that this person looked different from the person she had seen before.

"He's wearing yellow clothes,"

Hua Ling tilted her head, sniffed and said, "He's still carrying two swords, laughing foolishly..."

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows.

……

Hua Ling was not born in Wanhua Valley. When was she born, what was her name, who were her parents, and where did she live? What people in Wanhua Valley know is that it was three years ago when several sects gathered together. When chasing down the Red Clothes Sect, in a sub-forum of the Red Clothes Sect in Fenghua Valley, I found several little girls who were captured by the Red Clothes Sect, and Hua Ling was among them.

They were all four or five-year-old girls, and they were not brainwashed with drugs like the older women who were arrested. Presumably, it was because they were young and could slowly teach their influence.

But soon these knight-errants discovered that there was a little girl who was different.

She was neither frightened nor panicked, nor did she look dazed, but tensed her body as if she was full of hostility towards them.When a young swordsman wanted to reach out to approach her, he was bitten severely. She looked like an enraged little beast, and they would not let them approach her even at the risk of getting hurt.

Later, there was really no other way, so I had to temporarily seal the acupoints to make her sleepy and quiet, and then brought them out of the sub-altar together.

Afterwards, after the accompanying Wanhua disciples checked, it was found that the girl was also affected by the drugs used by the red clothes, so she behaved like this.After discussion, it was decided to take Hua Ling back to Wanhua Valley for treatment slowly.

Due to the influence of drugs, Xiao Hualing often has abnormal emotions. Most of the time, she is aggressive and wants to escape at any time. The only time she ran out of the medicine hut, everyone searched for it for a long time before finding this girl in the flower fields of Qingrihai. Little guy, she sat under the flowers and plants blankly, with her eyes closed, her expression appeared calm and serene for the first time.

It's like listening to the sound of flowers with your heart. This is the description of Huasheng, and the name Hualing comes from it.

Under the treatment of the medical sage Sun Simiao and the care of the disciples of Xinglin, the little girl finally returned to normal. The members of the Red Clothes Sect came to arrest her again, and sometimes they would dream of the horrible scenes they saw when they were trapped in the Red Clothes Sect.

Such sequelae slowly began to heal as Hua Ling lived in a paradise like Wanhua Valley. Until a year ago, basically no recurrence had occurred. This also made many Wanhua disciples who had been caring about her secretly heave a sigh of relief. happy for her.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that just half a year ago, when several Qixiu disciples came to Wanhua to visit Qin Sheng Su Yuluan, because they passed through Fenghua Valley, they saw that the maple leaves here are bright red like blood, which is particularly different from other places. Picked a few pieces for collection, but unfortunately, when I showed them to Wanhua's friends, they were seen by the curious Xiaohualing who joined in the fun...

"Xiao Ling'er."

"Ok?"

The quiet sound of the flute successfully made the little girl fall into a drowsy state again. She squinted her eyes and answered in a daze.

"Little Ling'er, remember,"

There was a slight smile in the young man's voice, "My surname is Ye, and my single name is Feng, the name of Maple Leaf."

"It's obviously a madman's madness..."

The little girl did not forget to bury him even though she was half asleep and half awake.

The young man was stunned when he heard the words, and then he chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid to see Maple Leaf again in the future."

This time there was no response, and when he looked up again, the little girl was already curled up in the quilt, fast asleep.

Cursing the corners of his lips, he put away his flute and moved closer, his eyes focused on the little girl's immature face, he stretched out his hand and approached slowly, but when he was about to touch the little girl, he retracted it suddenly, staring at his own Hands, under the dim candlelight, the blurred and translucent palms look extraordinarily illusory and unreal.

With a soft "tsk", the young man pursed his mouth, looked at the little girl who was sleeping soundly, and extinguished the candle with a grievance.

***

The brothers and sisters of Hua Ling, in fact, have always known that the little guy dare not sleep at night because once he falls asleep, he will have nightmares. They worked hard to read various medical classics, consulted the master medical sage, and went out to find all kinds of Herbs that can help little ones.It's a pity that the effect is very little. They also understand that the root of the little guy's disease lies in the heart, and if the shadow in her heart cannot be eliminated, her disease cannot be cured.

And Gu Zhilan, who has a similar experience, knows all this best, and can only rely on time and people around him to heal slowly.Because of this, she has a special affection for Xiao Hualing.

It is not the first time that Hua Ling has hallucinations, but this time the hallucinations seem to be different from the previous times that made her fearful. On the contrary, sometimes she looks more lively and more like a child of this age, so everyone sometimes sees When the little guy talked to himself in the air with a rich expression, he already had some tacit understanding, so he didn't deliberately point it out, just pretended not to see it.They also discovered that the little one probably had Realization herself, since she never spoke to the figures in the visions in their presence.

The senior brother said that the little guy seemed to be a person from Hidden Sword Villa in the phantom, which made the Wanhua seniors who doted on the little guy feel sour, but they could only secretly be angry. The first person in the sub-altar to break through the door of the secret room was a bastard who came from hiding a sword. I don't know what luck he had. There is actually a secret room behind the wall, so I guess the little guy just remembered the golden look he saw at first sight. After all, it's hard not to see the clothes that can blind people's eyes.

Heh, the little guy took a bite of that bastard back then, it should be!

A certain brother who was grinding the powder secretly gritted his teeth.

"Sister, when are you coming back?"

Standing at the entrance of Wanhua Valley, Hua Ling was a little reluctant to look at Senior Sister Gu Zhilan and the other senior brothers and sisters who accompanied her, and muttered, "Elder brother, why didn't you agree to Hua Ling to go with you, you should come back sooner. Otherwise, Hua Ling will miss you very much."

"Silly girl, we didn't go out to play,"

Senior Brother Song Tingfeng shook his head and said, "It is said that the plague in the outskirts of Chang'an is very severe. Many people have not been treated, and countless people have died of illness. The corpses cannot be properly housed. Instead, the plague has spread, and even animals have not been spared."

"That's right." Gu Zhilan frowned, with a hint of melancholy on his face, "This plague is really strange. If you don't go to the place and take a closer look, you really can't feel at ease."

"plague……"

The first time I heard the reason why my brother and sister left the valley, Hua Ling was stunned, and hurriedly said loudly, "Hua Ling is going too! Hua Ling can also help! Senior brother just praised Hua Ling a few days ago and said that her medical skills have improved , the little deer Hua Ling in Huahai can be cured. Hua Ling will also follow to help, okay, senior sister..."

"Flower listening~"

Gu Zhilan touched the little girl's head, squatted down and smiled, "The plague is contagious, Hua Ling is still young and her health is not good, what if she gets infected?"

"But the master said that to be a doctor, you must calm your mind and resolve your mind. You should have no desires or demands. You should show great compassion and compassion first, and vow to save the suffering of all souls." The little girl raised her face and said seriously, "Hua Ling Not afraid of the plague, Hua Ling also wants to save the people of Chang'an!"

"This……"

Seeing the immature but serious face of the little girl, Gu Zhilan was a little embarrassed.

"It is good for a doctor to have this kind of heart, but he must do what he can,"

At this moment, Qi Jin, the real person from Zixu of Chunyang Palace, who was standing not far away and dressed in a cold Taoist robe, came over. He looked at the little girl with burning eyes, and then turned to look at Gu Zhilan, and said in a cold voice, " Have you thought about it, if you catch the plague because you insist on going there, will your senior brothers and sisters take care of you or the people? Not to mention, because you indulged you and made you sick, you would like to see your senior sister and them Are you guilty of this?"

"I……"

Biting her lips, Hua Ling, who was a little scared under Qi Jin's cold gaze, couldn't help clenching the corner of Gu Zhilan's clothes and shrank behind her.

"You should remember what the sage of medicine said. A doctor vows to save the suffering of all souls. He does not avoid hardships and dangers, cold and heat, and goes to rescue with all his heart. He has no heart to do kung fu."

Qi Jin glanced at the little girl again, turned around and said calmly, "It's not enough to help the world and the common people as they say."

Hua Ling's face turned red and turned white, and she was a little bit dissatisfied in her heart, but she was a little scared because of Qi Jin's aura, and her whole body trembled slightly.

"A real person speaks too seriously,"

Gu Zhilan gently patted the little girl's back and comforted her, "Hua Ling is kind by nature, but she has a slightly impulsive personality. After all, she is too young to think too thoroughly, and she never wants to save the people just for the sake of Get compliments. The real person should stop being so harsh on a child."

Qi Jin frowned, but didn't say anything, and led a few Chunyang disciples to wait in the distance.

Gu Zhilan looked at Qi Jin's back and shook her head helplessly, but with a smile on her face, she turned her head and said warmly to the little girl who was still holding on to the corner of her clothes, "Okay, flower Don't be afraid, Master Zixu is not a big villain, it's just that he is more... stubborn."

"..."

Hua Ling lowered her head, slowly let go of her hand, and said in a low voice, somewhat aggrieved, "Hua Ling didn't study medicine just to get the master's praise..."

"Well, Senior Sister believes in Hua Ling."

Gu Zhilan laughed.

"Senior sister,"

Hua Ling raised her face and said seriously, "Hua Ling is really not afraid of the plague, nor is she afraid of suffering. It is sincere that Hua Ling wants to save the sick people. Therefore, Hua Ling will learn from her master and brother, and wait until one day Hua Ling You can also go out of the valley by yourself, and then you don’t have to worry about causing trouble to the senior brothers and sisters.”

Gu Zhilan was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay."
