Chapter 279: Lie Down and Rest

At dusk, Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions returned to the top of the mountain.

The light outside the residence of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng dimmed again. When Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan saw this, they looked at each other.

Zhenren Qiyuan told them that these changes outside the residences of Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng were all very normal.

At night, Shi Xiaoliu and two other people sat on the roof. Under the bright moon in the sky, Shi Xiaoliu introduced to Xia Yu some methods of preparing medicinal herbs.

“Both the skin and the flesh of this herb are useful medicines. The skin is extremely cold, and famous doctors in the secular world usually prepare this skin to treat fever.

But the meat inside is a good warming and tonic medicine.

Therefore, when preparing it, it must be handled extremely cleanly. ”

Xia Yu took a breath after hearing this: "This is a delicate job."

Shi Xiaoliu laughed when he heard his words: “There is no one in the medicine pavilion who is truly impetuous.

There are people like this. After entering the medicine cabinet and being taught by his master, he will be able to handle matters concerning medicinal materials calmly. ”

"You people in the medicine pavilion are never in a hurry to speak or do anything."

"Xia Yu, you have an air of pride. When you walk out, others can tell that you are the beloved and valued child of a big family."

After Xia Yu heard what Shi Xiaoliu said, he looked at him in surprise, then turned to ask Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, do you agree with what Xiaoliu said?"

Shi Zelan smiled and was about to speak when she looked up and saw more than ten or twenty stars passing through the sky and quickly falling to the distant horizon.

"Meteor shower, I saw a meteor shower."

Shi Zelan murmured, and Shi Xiaoliu heard her words: “So many stars falling, it really looks like rain.

What happened to cause so many stars to fall at the same time? ”

"Dad, we saw a meteor shower."

Xia Yu quickly passed the message to Master Qi Yuan, and Shi Zelan's excitement calmed down.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at the residences of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng at the same time, and they also looked at each other.

Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan: "I want to send a message back to the medicine pavilion."

"Then I'll pass the message to Master Uncle."

After the three of them delivered their messages, they remained silent on the roof for a long time.

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu each returned to their own rooftops, and the three of them meditated and practiced in silence.

The next day, after Shi Zelan woke up, she received feedback from Master Fang Cheng.

"Sister Lan, the sect has received the news you sent."

Shi Zelan told Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu the news he had received. Shi Xiaoliu said to them, "I didn't dare to tell my master, so I told my senior brother.

The eldest senior brother replied to my message and said that the master has set a time for retreat.

After discussing with the headmaster, the elders decided that the four True Lords would take turns acting as the headmaster until the headmaster came out of seclusion. ”

Xia Yu and Shi Xiaoliu said, "My father and his companions have not returned to the sect yet, but they saw the meteor shower while they were flying.

My father asked the three of us not to go down the mountain casually these days, and to decide whether to close the top of the mountain depending on the situation. ”

After hearing this, Shi Xiaoliu said thankfully: "Fortunately we bought a lot of vegetables and food and returned.

We will fetch some mountain spring water these days, so that if the day comes to close the top of the mountain, we won’t be too worried. ”

Shi Zelan nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go get some spring water in a bit. I also want to cut some bamboo."

Seeing that they had made all the arrangements, Xia Yu did not make any other requests.

For several days in a row, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were busy carrying things back to the top of the mountain, and they went to the bottom of the canyon again.

They found that there were people living at the bottom of the valley, so they did not linger there.

Shi Zelan picked up a few colorful stones at random, while Shi Xiaoliu dug up a few trees.

Xia Yu walked back and forth along the river bank in a very leisurely manner, and then the three of them went to the top of the canyon together.

Not long after they left, three wanderers came to the bottom of the valley, with blood on their clothes.

One of the bearded men said with anger on his face: "Brother, when you make a comeback, you must not let go of the person who stabbed you in the back."

After hearing what the bearded man said, the man with the mustache said calmly, "Do you think he can live until I seek revenge on him?"

The man in Confucian robes looked around the valley and said, "We can't stay here for long. We will rest here for two or three days and then we need to move to another place."

The man with a mustache looked at him and said, "Master, I'm sorry to have implicated you this time.

You warned me a long time ago that he couldn't be trusted, but I treated him as a brother for many years. ”

The man in Confucian clothing looked at the man with a moustache and said, "Sir, if you hadn't rescued me back then, I would have died long ago.

If you want to rest for a few days and then plan to make a comeback, I am willing to sacrifice my life for you. ”

The man with the mustache sighed, "I'm tired of fighting and killing these years, but I can't let go easily just to follow my brothers.

This time, whether they choose to stand by and watch or choose to go along with the crowd, I don’t want to care about them anymore.

If you two have other ideas, feel free to express them. ”

The bearded man's expression changed when he heard his words, and he was worried that the man in Confucian clothes might notice something.

He immediately bowed his head and said, "Brother, I want to follow you."

The man with the mustache smiled and said, "Now is the best time for you to leave. Xiao Taohong has been waiting for you."

The man in Confucian clothing exchanged glances with the man with a straight beard. He said to the man with a beard, "Change your clothes, go back to the city at night, pick up Xiao Taohong and run away."

"Brother."

The man with a mustache looked at him and said, "Come on, you have been with me for so many years and have helped me avoid them. You have done me justice.

I also want to do my best to repay you for once, let's go. ”

After a while, a man in a purple-red robe walked out from the bottom of the valley. He looked back as he walked, but there was no one behind him.

After he left, the man with the mustache and the man in scholarly attire asked, "Do you think he will betray us?"

"We were always found as soon as we arrived at a place during our escape.

Uncle, I don't want to doubt him, but he wants you to make a comeback, but you have no intention of doing so. ”

"We thought that there would be no one around us in the end, so we changed our clothes and went the other way."

Soon a smell of burning cloth wafted from the cave. The man with the mustache shaved his beard, and he and the man in Confucian robes changed into tight-fitting clothes.

They quickly left the valley and wanted to go deep into the mountains, but the man in Confucian clothing suggested: "Let's not go into the mountains. Let's find a safe place nearby."

As the night darkened, they stumbled into a maze on the mountainside, alarming Xia Yu.

He called Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, and the three of them stayed at the edge of the mountain. When they saw the two people entering the maze, they did not try to break the formation, but lay down and rested. ”
