Song Dynasty

Chapter 277
Niu Gao said: "It can be seen that Brother Yao is also a person with outstanding martial arts. Naturally, he knows that the meridians on this person are all connected with each other. When we fight with people, when we use our strength, the moves are different, and the muscles and bones used are also different. It is not the same, and the muscles and meridian hands bear different forces. For example, when the shoulder and neck are exerting force, the muscle behind the scapula must be involved."

"Brother Yao was hit by the enemy in the lungs, and the muscles in his chest can no longer be used. When his arms are exerting force, he can only mobilize a few muscles in his vest. If you use too much, it will naturally hurt."

"Small, the injection just now is to relax the tense muscles and bones in your vest, and transfer the force that those muscles and bones have to bear to your waist. In this way, your waist will feel sore."

"But it doesn't matter, you just need to give another injection every two days, and it will be completely healed after three or five times."

Yang Yao cupped his hands: "So that's it, I understand, thank you Brother Tie. Since you have entered the Fa in Wei Hui, you can be regarded as a brother of my God Sect. If you go back to the old camp to rest, there will be more troubles in the future."

"I'm willing to work for Brother Yao." Niu Gao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he had successfully sneaked into the Manichaeism.

After he got down, Wei Hui also quietly asked Niu Gao, saying, Brother Niu, how can you be so good at medicine?
Niu Gao chuckled: "What medical skills do I know?"

Wei Hui: "Then how do you cure the disease with acupuncture?"

Niu Gao replied: "It's inevitable for people who practice martial arts to have bumps and bumps in their daily life. Naturally, they must know some techniques of massage and bending."

It turned out that he had been addicted to martial arts since he was a child, and he had a rich family. His family invited more than ten instructors to learn martial arts.One of the instructors has a family's medical skills, seeing that Niu Gao is interested, he simply passed it along.

In this way, Niu Gao can be regarded as having a little knowledge of Qi and Huang's skills. With this skill, he finally gained Yang Yao's trust.

Not coughing anymore, except for a little soreness in the waist, Yang Yao only felt the wind under his feet, and his whole body was comfortable.Immediately, I took all the people to the riverside and changed to more than a dozen bamboo cuttings that had already been tied up. After paddling six or seven miles against the current, I arrived at a Daping Dam, where I abandoned the raft and landed.

There are many mountains in the south, but there are countless Xiaopingba with fertile land scattered among the mountains.Therefore, most of the common people live in these mountain basins.As the population increases, villages, towns and cities will flourish.

The dam in front of me is very large and flat, spreading out from under my feet, it is fourteen or five miles long and wide, and there are villages everywhere.The traffic on the rice paddies, the smoke from the kitchen is curling up, and it really feels like a paradise.

However, in the distance is a huge village built with rammed earth and bluestone. In the sunset, it looks like a monster with teeth and claws.

Juzhai is located on a high platform of a mountain, connected only by a small road.

There are deer villages and earthen castles all over the mountainside, which are really sinister.

There are countless banners waving, and from time to time, teams of scouts gallop across the Pingba Dam on horses.

There are long convoys everywhere, and the peasants push the carts to send countless grain and fodder to the mountains.

Niu Gao's heart trembled, and a voice shouted in his heart: Zhong Xiang's false imperial court is here!
"Brother Yao, is the official's house in the city on the mountain?" Wei Hui asked carefully, "What kind of place is this?"

Yang Yao said with a smile: "The official family is not in there. This is a sub-rudder that our divine religion originally repaired. The terrain here is dangerous, and there are products in the dam to replenish. Therefore, the church members who were withdrawn from Lizhou and Dingzhou Just rest here temporarily. This place was originally the territory of Yaozi and Miaozi in the south, and it was under the jurisdiction of local officials, because not many people know about it. This place is called Lianyunzhai. It is located on the edge of the Yuan River, not far from Taoyuan County. Attack, retreat and defend."

Hearing that Zhong Xiang was not here, Wei Hui was disappointed.

But in Niu Gao's heart, he was sure that this was definitely Zhong Xiang's lair, otherwise, how could there be so much food and troops hoarded here.

After settling down in Lianyunzhai, Niu Gao was a big man after all, he was bold and forthright, and within a few days he became acquainted with everyone in the Manichaeism.

More than 3000 people have gathered in this cottage, and they are all elite guards.The grain and grass on the cottage can be used by the army for a month, and more grain, fodder, soldiers and horses will gather here one after another. Obviously, the demons want to manage Taoyuan County well and use this as their base.

He and Wei Hui were not idle, and soon established an intelligence contact with Wang Shen, passing the news back.

In the letter, Niu Gao said that he suspects that this is Zhong Xiang's false imperial court, but now he is not sure.How important it is to find Zhong Xiang's old lair, I dare not talk nonsense until I am not sure.Otherwise, it would be a bad thing.

He and Wei Hui are investigating, and will report back as soon as they are confirmed.

After arriving at the cottage, Niu Gao gave Yang Yao the injection because he was nearby, and the twenty men he brought were all brave warriors.Among the thin and small Manichaeists, he really stood out from the crowd, and was very popular, so Yang Yao added him to the teaching team.

Wei Hui was the captain, and Niu Gao was his deputy.

Another six days passed, and on this day, someone suddenly came to report that brother Yao had ordered Niu Gao to go to see him immediately, and had something to say.

"I've seen Brother Yao." Niu Gao cupped his hands and saluted,
This is the garden behind the hall of Lianyunzhai, which is a courtyard-style building.In the middle is a wide courtyard, the ground is paved with bluestone, and a large stone jar is placed at each of the four corners of the courtyard to prevent water from leaking.

The golden sunlight casts down from the patio, making the yard warm and bright.

In the sunlight, Yang Yao was wearing a green gown with a leather belt tied around his waist, and a short sharkskin knife hung from it.He was thin and small, but he cleaned up extremely neatly. When he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "Here we are."

A mouthful of white and neat teeth, a gentle expression.

Although he is younger than Niu Gao, but at the moment he looks like a generous elder brother, exuding an admirable aura.

As expected of being the leader of tens of thousands of demons and thieves, this sublime attitude is something that others cannot learn.

In the past few days, Niu Gao has figured out the situation of the Manichaean monsters clearly, and he also knows that although Zhong Xiang is the false emperor of the Mingzun Sect, he has a weird personality and a superior person.All the daily affairs in the church are handled by Yang Yao, and because of this, he is loved by the congregation.

After Niu Gao straightened up following his gestures, he asked: "I don't know if brother Yao has gotten better these days, why did you tell the villain to come over today?"

Yang Yao: "Thank you Brother Tie, after you gave the acupuncture and took a few more doses of medicine, the cough has completely healed. It's just that my waist is still a little sore, and I can't lift my strength. I guess it will take a while to recover. .”

Niu Gao said with a smile: "Brother Yao, the acupuncture points on your waist are all badly pierced by the needles, you can't prick any more, you have to stop for a while."

"This is for you." While speaking, Yang Yao took out something from his sleeve and stuffed it into Niu Gao's hand.

Niu Gao looked intently, but was taken aback.He was born in a local wealthy family, and he also knows the goods, but he saw that the box was half a foot square, and the whole body was shining with dark purple light.Crystal smooth and smooth, it is made of a whole piece of small-leaved red sandalwood.

The wooden box is inlaid with bright pearls and precious stones, so dazzling in the sun that people can't open their eyes, it is actually a treasure worth thousands of gold.

The box is already valuable, but I don't know what kind of treasure it contains.

Niu Gao hurriedly said: "Brother Yao, how can a villain afford such a reward?"

Yang Yao smiled: "Brother Tie, you can open the box to see what's inside before it's too late."

Niu Gao opened the box, to his surprise, it was not a rare treasure, but a row of silver needles of different lengths and thicknesses: "This is..."

Yang Yao: "That's right, this is the silver needle used by the doctor for acupuncture. Brother Tie is very skilled in medicine, and the needles he can use are extremely simple. Last time, he even used bamboo sticks. Shemei has loved medical books since she was a child, and she has some of them in her hand. There are a lot of silver needles, so I asked her to find a suitable set, and then picked a box from the treasury and put it in a box, and I will give it to you today. By the way, you should keep it well. I know you battlefield fighters have a lot of silver needles. Often short of money, haha..."

Niu Gao hurriedly said: "Brother Yaoci, I dare not resign, no matter how tight the money is, the villain would not dare to pry the gems on this box for wine money."

After speaking, the two burst out laughing.

As soon as the laughter started, a woman's voice snorted coldly from the side room: "He dares!"

Suddenly a woman's voice came, and Niu Gao was stunned.

Yang Yao smiled: "Sister Xi, didn't you want to see Brother Tie? Today I brought you someone. I also delivered the needle for you. It's nothing to do with me now. Just ask her if you have anything to say. "

After finishing speaking, he whispered in Niu Gao's ear: "In the house is Shemei. She has collected medicines in the mountains since she was a child. She is familiar with medicine and is fond of Qihuang. Lianyuanzhai came to Lianyuan Village the day before yesterday. I drank a decoction. Hearing about Brother Tie’s acupuncture and moxibustion techniques, I was happy to see Lie Xinxi, and I wanted to ask you for advice. You go in, I’ll go first... Also, Ximei’s temper is not very good, what do you say? It's time to follow her will."

After saying that, he left in a hurry, with a hint of fear on his face.

Niu Gao was amused, Yang Yao commanded thousands of believers and ruled the land of the three states, so majestic, he was so afraid of his sister, but he didn't know what kind of character this younger sister was.

When he was in Henan, he used to be a big man, he talked and laughed with great scholars, and he had no casual contacts. He had never seen such a big man, and how could he be afraid of a mere cultist.

Immediately, he strode into the room, cupped his hands and said, "Tie Zhu has seen Ximei."

This room is quite large, the air is filled with the smell of medicinal materials, and there are long cabinets with labels everywhere. It is obvious that this is a Manichean pharmacy.

"Get up!" The woman's voice came: "I heard that you cured my elder brother's cough with acupuncture, tell me what is the reason?"

Niu Gao raised his head and looked, the light in the room was a bit dim, a slender figure was cutting slices of drink with a small guillotine on the desk.

She has a graceful figure, with beautiful facial features unique to southerners, and she is actually a little beauty.At this moment, she was sweating slightly on her forehead, her breathing was slightly long, and her face was reddish, which made people feel the urge to hold her in their arms and feel pity for her.

However, no matter what kind of person Niu Gao is, he doesn't care about beauty.

Soon he calmed down, and explained in detail how he had acupuncture with Yang Yao.
