Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 71: Charming Soul (11)
He couldn't help calling out: "Xiao Si Ming, is that you?"

A head emerged from behind the cliff, with curved brows and eyes, full of smiles, and a pair of bright eyes with a sense of vitality that ordinary people can't match.She smiled and answered Baili Jiuge loudly: "Heifeng, so you look like this after taking off the bamboo hat and black gauze! You are not ugly, why do you have to cover up your true face?"

Baili Jiuge looked up at the girl above, and didn't know how to answer her for a moment, so he replied: "I also put on a human skin mask now, mainly for the convenience of movement. It's you, don't stay in Epiphyllum Valley." Xi Wu, why did you come to my Dashang?"

"Hmph, when I mentioned this, I was so angry that I wanted to cut off my head!"

Xiao Siming clasped his elbows and shook his small body, pouted and reprimanded: "Brother Ziqian was wandering happily outside, and he didn't take me with him. I chased him all over the country and was thrown off countless times. This time it's okay. It's easy to hear people say that he's coming to Chaodu, so of course I want to find him! If I don't catch up with Senior Brother Ziqian, I'll be in vain as the little commander of Epiphyllum Valley!"

Baili Jiuge only felt that the corners of her lips were cramped. If she remembered correctly, when she met Xiao Si Ming a year ago, she said that she was going to pursue her senior brother Ziqian.Why hasn't it caught up after a year?It was obvious that her senior brother was avoiding her all the time, but she was so perseverant, insisting on playing hide-and-seek for more than a year.

How come all the people in Epiphyllum Valley are born with such individuality?
It was the "Ziqian" in Xiao Siming's mouth that aroused Baili Jiuge's curiosity.

She knew this man, known as "Young Master Siming", his martial arts cultivation was higher than that of Xiao Siming, he came and went without a trace, his whereabouts were unpredictable, and there were even rumors that he could split into two places.Moreover, Mr. Siming and Xiao Siming are disciples of "Madam Si Ming", the owner of Epiphyllum Valley, and all three of them are good at the unique skill "Ming Ning Ten Lines", which is to strangle the enemy with a silver thread.I don't know how many masters have fallen into this trick over the years, just like a shadow puppet whose fate has been determined.

Thinking of this, Baili Jiuge asked with a smile: "Since you said that Mr. Si Ming is in the imperial capital, why not describe his appearance, maybe I have seen him before."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Siming was very happy, nodded his head, and said: "Senior brother Ziqian is four or five years older than me, because I don't know if I am on the [-]th or [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the year of Guiwei. His birthday was on the first day of the first lunar month in the Jiashen year. In short, he was born in Xin Sinian! He is a little shorter than Uncle Gu Yan, and he looks much better than Uncle Gu Yan. Mink's name is Shining, ah, by the way, Shining always hangs around his neck like a scarf. Have you ever seen someone like this?"

This... I have never seen it before.

Baili Jiuge asked himself that he had never seen anyone tie a ferret around his neck as a scarf in the past six months, let alone a ferret with an irregular color.

But Gu Yan's face has become like pickled vegetables at this moment, "Gu Yan... Uncle...? I am so young, and you actually call me Uncle?!"

"That's right, everyone who is eight years older than me is an uncle." Xiao Siming replied eloquently.

Gu Yan was speechless, he might as well find a place to vomit blood by himself.Did this little aunt make a mistake? She even said that her senior brother is much prettier than him. His handsome and humorous appearance is already exquisite enough. So what kind of Ziqian can he grow up to be the most handsome in the world? ?
Forget it, good men don't fight women!
Childish words have no taboo!Childish words have no taboo!

Looking at Gu Yan's appearance as if he was cooking dumplings in a teapot, Baili Jiuge couldn't help but sneered, and said: "Little Siming, since you want to find Mr. Siming, come back to the imperial capital with me later. It just happened to be on the way, didn't it?"

"I can't, I have to raise the 'Returning Soul Grass' I bought at Uncle Ghost Doctor, so I have to stay in Zhongshan for these two months!"

Xiao Siming jumped up, jumped off the cliff, and landed lightly with his petite body, and said with a smile: "Also don't always call me 'Xiao Siming, Xiao Siming', we are both Huagu Qisu, just She should be a good sister. Just call me Ziqi!"

Baili Jiuge said "En!", and felt in his heart that "Ziqi" should be the same as "Ziqian", a sign, not a name.I don't know what Xiao Si Ming's real name is, but since she likes the name Zi Qi, of course I follow her.

So he asked: "Ziqi, what is the 'soul-returning grass' you mentioned just now?"

Ziqi said: "It is a very rare herbal medicine. It is said that it can restore the health of the sick and dying people! I went to the black market in Loulan country to buy it, and it cost me a lot of money!"

Baili Jiuge shuddered, and the phrase "can restore health to the sick and dying" hit her deep in the heart.At this moment, it was as if she saw a slender dawn in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but want to grasp this hope.

Quickly asked: "Ziqi, can this kind of soul-returning grass save people who have passed the Yin-Yang curse?"

Ziqi's face became turbulent, "Hey? Do you want it too? I also bought it for a person who is very important to me. He was cursed with Yin and Yang when he was a child. However, I advise you to Let's get rid of this idea, the soul-returning grass is rare in a hundred years, and I didn't even expect to encounter it this time. I think there is nothing else in the world except the one I bought. Not to mention the vicious things like Yin-Yang Curse , I'm really not sure if the soul-returning grass is of any use to it."

These words were like pouring a basin of cold water on the top of Baili Jiuge's head, soaking it straight down along the body, soaking the whole body from the inside to the outside, and the heart was so cold that it wanted to twitch/convulse.

I also know a little about the Yin-Yang Curse. It is said that it is a spell created by a sect called "Yin-Yang Family". It is similar to the witchcraft in Hunan, but it is several times more vicious and sinister.No one knows why people from the Yin-Yang family cast curses on others, they only know that there are many people who died under the Yin-Yang curse.

That sect is too mysterious and terrifying.

Mo Li, he was under the Yin-Yang curse when he was a child, and he has endured a lot of suffering to survive until now.It is said that the Yin-Yang Curse can only be undone by the caster, she really doesn't know how else she can help Mo Li!
Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, he didn't notice for a while that there was a slight noise in the wind, and a dangerous smell was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

"careful!"

Gu Yan's voice was like a slap in the face.

At this moment, Baili Jiuge was almost pushed to the ground by him. The moment she leaned back, a bright silver sword pierced her body. Pierce her chest!
Without thinking about it any more, Baili Jiuge hurriedly adjusted his pace, stabilized his body, and shouted, "Huang'er, Yan'er, protect yourselves first!"

The two big birds spread their wings obediently and took off, blowing up gusts of wind.

Baili Jiuge took a closer look, he didn't expect so many killers to come!All of them were fully armed and lined up. Some stood on the cliff, some hung on the mountain wall, and some hid in the tree. They surrounded this small cliff in all directions.This number, even if there are not one hundred, there are eighty!

Xiao Si Ming's eyes sharpened, and he took the lead in shouting: "Whoever is, please report your name first!"

The killers looked serious, and one of them laughed lowly: "I was entrusted to kill Baili Jiuge, but unexpectedly, Baili Jiuge turned out to be Heifeng, one of the seven places in Huagu, and what was even more unexpected was that he met the famous Gu Yan and Xiao Siming! If the three masters of Qihua Valley fall into our hands this time, then we will definitely be famous in the world!"

Gu Yan asked fearlessly: "I hear what you mean, do you want to catch them all?" Humming: "Don't think that the people in Qihua Valley are easy to bully, besides, there are two people from Qisu in Flower Valley here, I advise you to take it easy Alright, report your name first!"

"Hmph, dying people, what do you know so much about?" The killers sneered triumphantly: "I only blame you for not staying with Baili Jiuge, otherwise, you can still save your life! Hahaha!"

All of a sudden, the 80 No. [-] people began to laugh triumphantly. The ferocious laughter resounded through the valley, causing the wind to panic and the birds to fly.

Baili Jiuge felt extremely speechless, this group of people came really aggressively and arrogantly, and they looked really bluffing, but, I have been in the world for more than ten years, and I can tell at a glance what the martial arts of these people are. what grade.It's obviously a bunch of Xiao Xiaoxiao, but they still talk so casually, is it too long?

She laughed loudly and said, "Since you are going to kill me, at least let me understand? Which sect of killers are you, and who hired you?"

The killer said proudly: "We are nameless and have no faction. We are dead men who kill and set fire as long as we give money! Baili Jiuge, you have offended the current princess Ruyi, and killing you will be cheap for you!"

Yin Ruyi?
It was Yin Ruyi again!
What kind of lingering ghost is this person, isn't he just kicked half to death?Hired someone to kill her so soon?

His bright eyes sank, and Baili Jiuge had to suspect that Yin Ruyi had maintained a cooperative relationship with these desperadoes all year round, and might have killed many of them secretly.

well!
Now that these desperadoes are coming to kill her, and they know her identity as "Black Phoenix"...

Then she can only kill the killer!

"Needless to say, come on!"

The red skirt was raised, and Baili Jiuge flew up, holding eight white feathers between the ten fingers of both hands.The figure was like a shuttle, dazzled, rolled up his sleeves, and shot, the feathers were as sharp as a blade, and the eight people's eyebrows were hit in the blink of an eye.

The eight people had just let out a scream, then fell to their deaths and fell off the cliff.

The killers all changed their colors at this moment, as if they realized that they had bluffed just now, they stared at Baili Jiuge with gritted teeth, no longer daring to underestimate the enemy, and swarmed up.

She scolded in a cold voice: "The mob!" She kicked on the tree trunk, turned around and threw herself into the encirclement of the killers again, her sleeves fluttered like a bright red phoenix, and between the sleeves, thousands of gorgeous feathers flew into snow, turning into snow As a sharp hidden weapon to attack everyone.

"Wow!"

"It hurts!"

"Help!"

The killers were hit by the unpredictable feather one after another, some hurt their throats, some were blinded, and some were right in the mouth!I saw that among the large group of killers in the dark, suddenly someone was on the verge of falling, and then fell off the cliff with no bones left!

Seeing the glamorous singing of Baili Jiuge, Gu Yan changed his previous style of protecting his junior sister, instead he walked slowly to a tree with a smile on his face, sat down, and said with a gentle laugh: "The grades are too poor, I I won’t make a move, so as not to be said to be a bully and ruin my reputation as Gu Yan in Phoenix Valley.”

The fierce battle continued.

Baili Jiuge was forced to the edge of the cliff by three killers. She stood on the ground, jumped up, flew back from the heads of the killers, turned around in the air, and kicked each of the three in succession.Only three screams were heard, and the three killers sprayed blood and fell to the cliff on their backs.

Turning around again, he joined the battle again, surrounded by white feathers, flitting out a magnificent and powerful killing intent.The red skirt danced, and with a snap of the fingers, lives fell one by one.

Suddenly, Baili Jiuge approached a person, and the feather between his fingers was stabbing his throat, but at this moment——

The person in front of him suddenly tilted his neck, his whole head was separated from his body, and flew out with a long stream of blood!

This scene was too horrifying and bloody, and it was beyond Baili Jiuge's expectation. At this moment, my heart was stunned, and I almost fell down without controlling my lightness.

Then Gu Yan's scolding sounded in my ears: "I said, Xiao Si ordered you to say hello before you make a move! Is this trying to scare my junior sister to death?!"

"Uncle, I want you to take care of it!" Xiao Si Ming's sharp voice sounded, and then the petite figure joined the battle.

I saw that slender figure dexterously shuttled among the many men in black like a rabbit, with arms constantly staggered and changing postures, and ten thin silver lines flew out from between the ten fingers, like a net that made it impossible to guard against.

Under the moonlight, the thin thread glowed with a death-like icy luster, and danced with cruel strength, but any killer who hit the thread was actually——

Baili Jiuge looked away, unable to bear to watch it for a while.Even though I have experienced many killings, I have never...never seen such...

The screams of the enemies were so shrill, as if they were going through the torture of eighteen layers of hell, and the sound tore her ears fiercely.

Inadvertently, a bloody thing flew past her eyes, and she saw clearly that it was a person's severed arm!
"Heifeng, don't look."

Just when her heartbeat was a little overloaded, Gu Yan covered her eyes with her cool hand, wrapped her slender body with the other hand, and led her back.

Guided by Gu Yan, she suddenly left the ground and was carried by Gu Yan and flew towards a place far away from the killing.

Those shrill voices in my ears finally got farther and farther away, Baili Jiuge couldn't help but want to look back, but Gu Yan tightly covered his eyes.

"Don't look, Epiphyllum Valley's unique skill 'Fate Condensation Ten Lines' is so cruel, otherwise why would the world call them 'Ming'?"

Every word of Gu Yan's words was like a chisel, ruthlessly piercing Baili Jiuge's heart, arousing blood.

How could she not guess what kind of Shura field is over there at this moment!

Those who were strangled by the silver thread had their arms and legs cut off, their noses cut off, their ears cut off, and even their heads were cut off and flew out!
Fate Congealed Ten Lines, such a terrifying move, really seems to be adjudicating the fate of others.

Such a cruel technique actually came from Epiphyllum Valley...

In my heart, I suddenly felt a little unacceptable.

She is obviously used to the elegance and gentleness of epiphyllum, and the beauty that blooms like snow, but experiencing all this at this moment completely tore up that tender state of mind, making her have to face the bloody reality——

Epiphyllum, indeed beautiful.

However, like those who are instantly strangled——

short-lived.

If... like Xiao Si Ming Ziqi, who was so vicious at such a young age, then what about Si Ming who is stronger than her?And what about their master, Mrs. Si Ming?What kind of means?
I can't even think about it anymore!
Suddenly, Gu Yan whispered: "Okay, let's take a rest here, when the little aunt finishes solving the enemy, she will come over and join us."

With the light in front of his eyes again, Baili Jiuge realized that the two of them had turned over to the back of the mountain, and they could hardly hear the sound from the other side through the mountain. The body trembled slightly.

She just couldn't help but laugh: "Zi Qiming is younger than me next year, but her methods are so cruel. I can't believe that she will go to the black market in Loulan Kingdom to buy soul-returning grass for the important person in her mouth, and also for the sake of her. To grow that grass well, I would rather stay in the thatched hut of Senior Ghost Doctor for two months."

Gu Yan patted Baili Jiuge's shoulder, and comforted him: "Everyone has something that they care about. I think Ziqi is the kind of person who is cruel and ruthless to the enemy, but devoted to his own people. I think, this point Quite like you."

Listening to what he said, it seems that this is really the case.Forget it, people in the rivers and lakes often face swords, swords, and killing and being killed.Ziqi has her style, so it's better not to mind too much.

After what seemed like a long time, Ziqi's figure leaped over like a rabbit.

The first thing after landing was to stroke the epiphyllum that was used as a decoration on the double flat bun to make sure there was no blood on it. Ziqi smiled happily, and her red lips burst into moist red: "It's all solved, now I want to Go back to Uncle Ghost Doctor and take good care of my soul-returning grass, Sister Heifeng, are you with us or are you going back to the imperial capital?"

She asked cheerfully and naturally, but the bloody smell all over her body still made Baili Jiuge feel slightly blocked. After adjusting her mood for a while, she suddenly remembered something and said, "I want to ask the senior ghost doctor to heal a person, so I will go with you first." Go to his hut."

"Who is it?" Ziqi asked curiously.

Baili Jiuge said: "It's a friend of mine in Chaodu. She can't move her legs and her voice is very hoarse. It's really inconvenient to sit in a wheelchair all day long. The senior ghost doctor is known as 'the bones of life and death'. I suddenly To think that maybe he could heal my friend."

Gu Yan knew very well that her junior sister's temperament was to give her heart and soul to her own people and help her out, so naturally she wouldn't say much right now.

But Ziqi asked suspiciously: "Can you make friends even in the imperial capital? I always feel that there are no good people in places with many people."

Baili Jiuge smiled sassyly, it didn't matter what Ziqi said.

Later, outside Zhongshan's hut, I saw the ghost doctor who had returned from gathering herbs in the night. He was adding herbs to a small silver stalk and cooking them carefully over a simmering fire.

After listening to Baili Jiuge's story, the ghost doctor generously decided to go to the imperial capital to diagnose Yin Liehuo.Gu Yan and Ziqi were left in the thatched hut to take care of the medicinal materials for the ghost doctor, and Ziqi happened to take care of her soul-returning grass.

In the early morning, Zhongshan was covered with fog and mist, and the crisp sound of birdsong broke the silence of dawn. The flowers and plants were hit by the summer dew overnight, and the crystal dew fell on the moss on the stone surface, making almost inaudible noises.

The ghost doctor used to get up early at the time of Yin Shi, and moved lightly. Shi Shiran went out to chop firewood and make a fire, and cooked some home-cooked breakfast for a few young people in the open stove on the ground.

Because the hut is very small, everyone crowded in the hut last night, as soon as the aroma of breakfast wafted, Baili Jiuge and Gu Yan opened their eyes almost at the same time, only Ziqi fell into a deep sleep, presumably tired.Baili Jiuge didn't wake her up, lightly combed her clothes and long hair, stretched her waist, covered her mouth to suppress the yawn, then floated off the bed lightly, and went out with Guyan.

After having a relaxing breakfast, the ghost doctor left the stove behind and took his medicine box, ready to go to Chaodu to treat Yin Liehuo.

On the other hand, Gu Yan disguised himself very brazenly, and became the image of a gangster, insisting on going with him to join in the fun.In this way, the group of three bid farewell to Kunshan Xuehuang and Dayan temporarily, went to the capital shrouded in gold, and met Yin Liehuo under the leadership of the maidservant of the Zuoxiang Mansion.

At that time, Yin Liehuo was sitting in front of the crabapple wooden table in the study, holding an ancient book made of sheepskin in his plain hand. When he first saw Baili Jiuge, the book tilted and almost fell off.

Yin Liehuo closed the book, placed it in the lower right corner of the table, and turned the wheelchair to welcome the three of them.

"Agni, slow down!"

Baili Jiuge hurried over and said, "I brought two friends from the world to see you. This is the legendary ghost doctor who can save human flesh and bones. I'll invite him to see your legs and voice!"

There were shallow waves in the dark eyes, and Yin Liehuo groaned gratefully: "Thank you Jiuge, in fact, Dad has invited many famous doctors for me, but it was all in vain, I don't care anymore."

"Don't say that, Senior Ghost Doctor is very powerful!" Baili Jiuge increased his voice, and then turned to introduce Gu Yan: "This is——"

The words stopped.
