I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]
Chapter 20 Chapter 20
Yaoyao took the medicine bowl and crushed the herbs that Yun Chuxiu had weighed one by one, and placed them in a row of crystal jars in front of her. Yun Chuxiu sat in front of the medicine furnace with a fan, staring at the flames in the furnace in a daze.
"Miss, if you don't want to boil the medicine, let me do it!" The maid said this, snatching the fan from his hand and fanning the fire in front of him. Being regarded as a hindrance, Yun Chuxiu neither felt ashamed nor argued with her. Instead, he stood up suddenly, put his hands behind his back and muttered in annoyance: "This is strange, could it be that the charlatan really didn't follow us into the peach blossom forest?"
When he rode into the peach blossom forest, Yaoyao immediately followed him. She was always a stubborn girl, never asking too many questions, never thinking too much, and it was natural for her to follow him. The demon Li Zixi was just the opposite of her, picky and suspicious, especially cherishing his life, so he hesitated, so he got separated from the two of them, which was actually expected by Yun Chuxiu.
But he originally thought that everyone just arrived at different places, but now he no longer thinks so.
"Don't tell me this paradise will send people to different worlds, that wouldn't be fun at all." Yun Chuxiu muttered to himself, but couldn't help laughing. "However, what is there for the charlatan to worry about? If he wants to go back, it will probably be easier than it is for me."
He always called his subordinate and friend a "shen gan", which was not just a nickname. Li Zixi was born with a pair of black and white eyes, and was abandoned by his biological parents as a devil. A kind-hearted farmer adopted him, but a few years later, a sudden mountain torrent destroyed his village, and everyone died, except for him.
In order to survive, he climbed to the top of Mount Hua alone in the snow and wind and became a disciple of the Huashan Sect. This should have been the beginning of a legendary martial arts hero, but a few years later, he betrayed Mount Hua for killing several of his fellow disciples, and was nicknamed "Demon Dao". He was hunted by the Huashan Sect for most of the world, and only settled down after Xiao Donglou intervened to resolve the dispute.
"In fact, I didn't kill them at all." When Yun Chuxiu asked him the truth, he confessed very frankly. "They first killed a group of escorts to rob the escort, and then they were bewitched by the wronged spirits, killing each other in fear until they died... So I was the only one who survived, and I was unharmed. Huashan Sect believed that I did everything, and said that the mountain flood that I survived alone must have been a problem. What else can I say?"
"Then why didn't you tell the master the truth?" Yun Chuxiu felt that it was unnecessary for him to be forced to defect. "Also, they were already killing each other, why did you stay there? Why didn't you leave quickly? If you are not considered the murderer, who will be considered the murderer?"
Hearing this, Li Zixi couldn't help but smile at him: "Young Master, not everyone is as lucky as you. I am just an ordinary disciple responsible for closing the door and lighting the fire. I usually can't see the headmaster at all... Let alone the headmaster, even if I want to see the senior uncles in charge, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"As for why I didn't leave that day..." His strange eyes suddenly showed a strange color, and they were curved like two crescent moons.
"If I leave, how can those newly dead ghosts have the strength to restrain those people? So, I am not the murderer, but I am also an accomplice."
At this point, he confessed that he could not only see ghosts, but also communicate with them and cooperate with them. But the reason why he became famous was that he met Yu Ruojin, the number one swordsman in Huashan, on the way to escape, and he was able to block his sword and escape successfully, and he immediately became famous from an unknown person, which was quite amazing.
Of course, only Yun Chuxiu knew that when he was picked up in the stream near the deep valley, he was almost dead. Yu Ruojin's sword split his chest, causing him to be bedridden for more than half a year before he could get up. He truly escaped death. However, this was not because he was lucky, but at the critical moment, Li Zixi told Yu Ruojin that there were many dead souls following him, one of whom was his biological father!
"Sometimes, I really don't know whether I should hate these eyes or be grateful for them." It was also because of several times in front of the gates of hell that Li Zixi cherished his life especially. Of course, his swordsmanship has improved a lot now, and he is no longer the little Taoist priest who relied on his cleverness to escape from death in the past. To be able to gain a foothold under Xiao Donglou, relying on the special yin and yang eyes alone is naturally not enough.
Coming out of his memories, Yun Chuxiu couldn't help but look back at Yaoyao who was staring at the medicine furnace. Since the three of them left the valley together, they naturally had to go back together.
Well, plus the intact Snow Phoenix Ice King Flute!
He had changed the prescription for Lu Xiangchuan twice according to his pulse. Although it didn't help much with his infertility, it at least helped him regulate his physical condition. However, Yun Chuxiu was confused by Liu Wumei's problem, even after seeing her attack.
"Ah..." Liu Wumei had an attack, rolling on the bed in pain, moaning and groaning, tears streaming down her face. In the blink of an eye, she turned from a gentle and lovely beauty into a haggard patient, which really made people feel pity. But Yun Chuxiu held her hand and pressed it for a long time, and observed her face again and again, and finally turned around and told Li Yuhan with certainty: "Your wife is not poisoned at all!"
"What?!" Li Yuhan was shocked. Yun Chuxiu could understand, after all, seeing her painful appearance, anyone would think she was poisoned by some strange poison, but in fact, there was no such thing.
"She has been taking opium powder. Although it can calm people down and relieve pain, it is addictive. If she doesn't take it for a day, she will be in unbearable pain like before. Judging from her condition, I'm afraid she has been taking it for quite some time. However, Madam is highly skilled in martial arts and has deep internal strength, so when she is not having an attack, she looks no different from a normal person." Yun Chuxiu shrugged. "She doesn't need to take anything. She just needs to give up opium powder and she will be fine--" Before he finished speaking, Liu Wumei, who was in the middle of an attack, suddenly grabbed his wrist. Yun Chuxiu was startled and subconsciously used his internal strength. Liu Wumei felt as if she was holding a piece of piercing ice. She couldn't help but moan and shook her hand away.
But she did not stop there. Instead, she said in a frantic manner: "No! That's impossible! I'm poisoned! I'm poisoned!"
"Are you out of your mind? Am I the doctor or are you? I said no, that's all!" Yun Chuxiu said firmly. He was originally more interested in poisoning than other illnesses, and naturally wanted to unravel the mystery of the strange yin-yang compound poison. Who knew that he would encounter such a situation? It was already very disappointing. Now seeing Liu Wumei's attitude and Li Yuhan's suspicious eyes, he couldn't help but stand up angrily.
"If you don't believe me, please find another job."
By the time he walked out of the room, he had calmed down. After all, what did this matter have to do with him?
It was unknown what consensus the two of them had reached, but Li Yuhan and his wife quickly said goodbye. But before leaving, they came to Yun Chuxiu's room, picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup for each of them, saying that they wanted to apologize to him.
Seeing their sincere attitude, Yun Chuxiu's anger also subsided a little, and he couldn't help but give them a few more words of advice: "Although opium can relieve pain, it has hallucinogenic effects. The more you eat, the more toxins accumulate. Madam, don't be controlled by hallucinations. Trust my judgment."
Liu Wumei smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Yun, you don't know that the person who poisoned me is the most terrifying and weird person in the world. I, I don't believe that she did nothing..."
Yun Chuxiu immediately shut up: Her attitude is so firm that she cannot be persuaded with just a few words, why bother with this. Just wait for them to find another doctor and see who can persuade her.
Then he drank the tea that Liu Wumei offered him.

After handing the boiled medicine to the servants, Yaoyao cleaned up the stove and the remaining herbs, and went to the small kitchen, intending to make some lotus cakes for Yun Chuxiu.
There was no one in the small kitchen, and she didn't ask anyone to come in to help. She heated the stove, kneaded the dough, and threw it into the frying pan one by one after kneading it. She took it out and placed it in a circle on the plate. A voice sounded in her ear with a smile: "It smells so good, what are you doing?"
Yaoyao was startled and turned around to see a thin little servant standing behind her, looking at her with a smile. She didn't think much about it and just thought he was a servant from the Sun Mansion, so she picked up the plate and handed it to him: "Take one."
"Is it okay? Won't your master blame you?" The man said as he reached out and took one, swallowing it in two or three bites. "Delicious, delicious. Your cooking skills are so good, no wonder Lu Xiaoji took a fancy to you and specially asked me to come to you."
"What chick?" Yaoyao immediately became alert. However, before she could touch the soft sword at her waist, the other party had already pressed her acupuncture points like lightning and twisted her to sit on the stool in the corner.
"I heard your master is a beauty? I want to see how beautiful she is!" He took the plate from Yaoyao's hand and put it into the food box on the table, still smiling. "Don't worry, I will hand over the snacks you made with great effort to your master, and come back to see you later."
He staggered out of the room and suddenly turned into an ordinary servant carrying a food box. After turning left and right, he walked into Yun Chuxiu's house as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Yun——"
The room was empty.
