Chapter 171: The Gu Master Who Cultivated the Young Hero
"Yes, it is Bilu Hantian. Since you know it, you must also understand how precious it is, so please don't tell anyone else about it, lest others get their hands on it."
City Lord Chen stroked his beard, his face full of worry.
Qu Ziheng said: "Don't worry, City Lord, we are very tight-lipped."
"To be honest, this is the medicine that my child needs to save his life. I spent a huge amount of money to get this medicine from Biyuan Villa. I only got it last night. When I was waiting to take it, the porcelain bottle was replaced. I had no choice but to lock down the city urgently."
Yan Yixuan was furious: "You actually stole the life-saving medicine. You are simply not a human being. Don't worry, uncle. We will do our best to help you find it!"
"Then I'll trouble you guys. My man was lost near Xin'an Street and Lulin Street last night. I sent people to guard the place. The man should still be there."
City Lord Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't know kung fu and could only wait for news.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, everyone found a secluded place and curiously asked Qingxun what the Bilu Hantian was.
"I don't know what it is specifically. The medicinal materials in Biyuan Villa are classified into four grades: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Heaven is the most precious and rare. I once curiously asked if someone would swap the bottles. Master told me that it's impossible. For example, Bilu Hantian is in the form of water when in the bottle. You have to take it immediately after uncorking it, otherwise it will immediately turn into smoke and dissipate. There's no time for someone to change the bottle."
Qing Xun sighed: "Beyond that, I don't know anything. Only by becoming a doctor with more advanced medical skills can you get access to those things."
Qu Ziheng noticed his friend's sadness and patted Qingxun on the shoulder: "It's okay, we believe that you will be a world-famous doctor in the future. When the time comes, remember our friendship and don't charge for your treatment!"
Jiang Yan waved his fan and chuckled: "I'm not as stingy as this kid. Don't worry, Xun, I will definitely not let you down."
"Bah, bah, bah, you better not come to me."
Qing Xun's gaze lingered on Qi He's eyes for a moment, but unfortunately he was not well-trained. He had treated Qi He before but could not find out the cause of his eye disease. When taking Qi He's pulse, he even felt that Qi He's pulse was no different from that of ordinary people, but he was clearly sick.
If he really achieved something and saw Qi He again as a doctor in the future, he hoped that he could cure Qi He's eyes.
Lin Zhi noticed Qingxun's look, smiled gently at him, and said, "What you have told me is already useful enough, and you will know the rest in the future."
"Thank you, Brother Lin. Can I ask you more about poisons later?"
"Of course, you're welcome," Lin Zhi nodded, and turned the topic to business, "Since the medicine has such properties, we have to hurry up."
On the Feng Shui map, Xin'an Street is the street in the narrowed central part of the gourd shape, and Lulin Street is the street in the center of the lower half of the gourd. According to City Lord Chen, the thieves' activities are in this area.
Lin Zhi, Qi He and Yan Yixiuan searched from Xin'an Street, while Qu Ziheng and the other three searched from Lulin Street.
Yan Yixiuan and Qu Ziheng were both very jumpy and impatient, and soon disappeared from the sight of Lin Zhi and the others.
"You seem a little distracted."
Lin Zhi looked at Qi He beside him. After coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, he had a feeling that his child was frequently distracted.
It seems that this Bilu Hantian, like the Sheyun Grass, is related to the Qi family's affairs.
The Qi family searched for so many rare herbs, so they attracted covetousness or even fatal disasters?
But although these things are rare treasures, they are not hard to find in the world and can be obtained by paying manpower and financial resources. Who would kill for these things and use various moves from various sects to avoid being found?
These things should be related to something more important. The people who want to destroy the family want these things.
Qi He paused and whispered, "Master is always so perceptive."
"It's about you, naturally."
Lin Zhi did not deliberately say nice things, he was just stating it.
Qi He felt a sudden pain in his heart, and then all the previous emotions were dispelled. He smiled and said, "I'll tell Master later. Now Master will have to listen even if he doesn't ask."
The most important thing at the moment is to find the bottle of Bilu Hantian, but it is a small porcelain bottle that is too inconspicuous and difficult to find.
From early morning to night, Lin Zhi finally met up with Qu Ziheng and the others, but no one found any clues.
Yan Yixuan pointed to the attic at the back and said, "This is the only street left. Aren't we going in?"
Jiang Yan tapped Yan Yixuan's head with his fan and said, "Girl, don't go to that kind of place."
"Why can you men go but we women can't? If I change into men's clothes and go in with you, I won't be so conspicuous, right?"
The air was filled with the scent of cosmetics, the sachets hanging on the pavilions swayed in the wind, and even the red lanterns looked particularly ambiguous.
They were all martial artists, and they could also hear the sweet voices trying to attract customers not far away.
This street has the largest brothel in Qinhe Valley, and it becomes lively as soon as night falls.
Many people passing by Qinhe Valley were forced to stay here, and naturally they would visit some entertainment places. Whether it was a gambling house, a tavern, or a brothel, business was particularly good tonight.
Qingxun said with some embarrassment: "Yixuan, don't go. Let's go back together."
Yan Yixuan: "No, I haven't been there before. I want to see it. Qingxun, if you are embarrassed to go, then go back to the inn with Xiaohe to rest. We will continue to look for it."
Qi He was puzzled and asked: "Why should I go back?"
Qi He had read books and knew what a brothel was, but since he wasn't going there for pleasure, what did it matter?
"It's very noisy inside, the scent of powder is too strong, and there are many clingy women inside. You must not be good at dealing with these."
It’s not because he’s young, Qi He is old enough to visit brothels, but he can’t see, so it’s easy for something to get into trouble.
Although Qi He had his eyes covered with white silk, one could still see that he had an outstanding face. What if he learned bad things by entering such a place of entertainment?
Yan Yixiuan kept winking at Lin Zhi, asking him to take care of it.
Lin Zhi took a compromise approach and said, "You wait outside. If there really is a thief inside, you can chase him if we force him out. If he is not inside, we will get out as soon as possible."
Qi He wanted to stay with Lin Zhi, but he would always listen to what his master said.
So he nodded silently to show that he understood.
"Then I'll go wait on the other side. If I see anything, I'll tell you."
Seeing this, Qingxun didn't plan to go back and planned to wait at another alley.
Qu Ziheng warned: "Be careful, that person is able to remain undetected despite so many people searching for him, don't try to be brave."
Yan Yixiuan quickly got herself a set of men's clothes and put them on, but anyone who looked carefully could still tell that she was a woman dressed as a man, but she managed to fool people on the surface.
Lin Zhi walked into the building, and the silver bell on his wrist rang softly with his movements.
Since it concerns Qi He, it doesn't count as meddling in other people's business. Lin Zhi is willing to take the trouble for this. As long as a suspicious person appears, his little poisonous insect baby will show up.
As soon as Lin Zhi entered the building, she separated from Qu Ziheng and the others, and so did Jiang Yan.
Because Qu Ziheng and Yan Yixiuan were so eye-catching, one was full of righteousness and clear stupidity, without any signs of pleasure-seeking, and the word "looking for someone" was written all over his face.
Yan Yixiuan was overly bold. A woman leaned towards her, and perhaps she realized that she was a woman and was about to leave, but Yan Yixiuan put her arm around her waist and asked her to introduce what was in the building.
Lin Zhi deliberately concealed his presence in the crowd, while Jiang Yan held his folding fan, which did not look like a deadly weapon, and acted like a noble and unrestrained man, fitting in very well.
This brothel has several floors. There were no suspicious people on the first floor, so Lin Zhi went to the second floor, and the others also found an opportunity to go up to the second floor.
There are no stars or moon tonight, and the light is dim.
Qi He's figure was hidden in the shadow of the corner, his breathing so slow that it was almost invisible.
A man's voice and a woman's laughter were getting closer and closer, and stopped not far away.
Qi He frowned slightly, thinking about how to knock these two people out so that they wouldn't get in the way.
Qi He had excellent hearing, and some vulgar and obscene words came clearly into his ears, which made him feel a little unhappy.
Qi He picked up some debris and injected his internal energy into them.
"Next time, I'll give you a bell. I'll string it with a red string, hang it around your waist, tie it to your leg, and it'll ring when I shake it. Is that okay?"
Qi He subconsciously tightened his hands, and the fragments in his hands turned into powder and poured out from between his fingers.
His breathing became disordered for a moment, revealing his breathing point. If there was someone with great martial arts skills here, he would have been able to sense his presence.
However, the two people not far away were just ordinary people. They had no idea that there were people nearby and continued to fight fiercely.
A few small pieces of gravel flew out, and a wild mandarin duck fell asleep on the side of the road.
The place has returned to its previous quietness, but some emotions are not.
It's an April night and it's still chilly at night.
Qi He's body temperature has always been low, and his palms should be cold, but now his hand holding the sword is slightly hot.
