Chapter 181 Exorcising Evil Spirits
Chapter 181 Exorcising Evil Spirits
“Indeed, this is an unreasonable request.” Uncle Ding bowed and thanked him. “This time, thanks to everyone from Bazhenlou, we were able to find a way to cure the poison in the young master’s body. Meizhou is a long way from here. It will take more than half a month to travel north from Weizhou.”
"He Zhen hasn't returned yet, and I don't know if it's safe for you all on your way there." Old Master Qu was actually worried.
After all, he is a junior member of Qingyun Manor.
Even with He Wenxue's connection, the old man was still uneasy.
Lao He and Liu Henshui went to see the Eight-Sided Broken Umbrella. He wasn't there, but his younger generation was there, and he should take care of them both out of courtesy and reason.
"Logically speaking, He Zhen should have already returned to Qingyun Manor. Even if he has something to do and cannot return temporarily, they should still be exchanging letters." Ding Botai knew He Zhen's thoroughness and caution in his actions.
He Zhen knew they were on their way to Weizhou, and even if he couldn't leave temporarily, he would find a way to contact them.
Moreover, He Zhen was arranged by the manor lord to take care of the young master.
Among the many disciples of Qingyun Manor, He Ping and He Zhen are the two with the best aptitude and the most reliable.
With He Zhen there, it would indeed be better to go to Meizhou.
Moreover, Ding Bo also had other considerations in mind: "With the help of Layman Meng, we already have one Blazing Sun Grass; the Cold Cicada Ice Dew is in the hands of the Four Heroes of Meizhou. Although the Four Heroes of Meizhou should take care of it because of the relationship with Qingyun Manor, it is still a life-saving medicine. It would be better if the old manor master, the manor master, or the eldest son stepped forward."
Indeed, the cicada and the dew are no ordinary creatures.
But given the reputation of Qingyun Manor, the Four Heroes of Meizhou will surely help.
However, Qingyun Manor has always been a leading force in the martial arts world, and both morally and logically, it should be respected first.
Jiang Yutang crossed her arms: "Didn't He Lingyun go?"
He's an expert in all walks of life, so his information network is naturally excellent.
He Lingyun went to Meizhou to attend the Heroes' Gathering convened by the Four Heroes of Meizhou; this news was not hard to find out.
"Since He Lingyun can stand in place of Elder He, Elder Huo and He Huai'an should also be able to ask for medicine when they participate in the martial arts tournament."
Jiang Yutang holds this view.
Ding Bo stroked his beard and said gently, "Miss Jiang, you may not know this, but compared to the young master and the second young master, the old master, the master, and the eldest young master are the ones in charge of the manor. The second young master was originally going on behalf of the master, which is already an apology from Qingyun Manor. It would be unreasonable and inappropriate for him to ask for medicine again."
Jiang Yutang understood.
Such double breaches of etiquette are certainly not in the style of Qingyun Manor and Elder He.
"I was thinking of going to Meizhou first, and sending a letter to the manor at the same time. It will eventually reach the old manor lord, the manor lord, or the eldest son. Then someone can go there or write a letter, which would not be impolite." Ding Bo had a somewhat incomplete plan in mind.
“If we write a letter back to Qingyun Manor and encounter delays on the way, it might be too late. He Zhen went back so long ago and hasn’t returned yet, there must be some kind of delay.” Wang Sumo’s mind was clear.
I was worried about Master Huo's safety, which is why I thought of sending He Zhen back to deliver the letter.
The letter was veiled and didn't explicitly state the truth.
But there is still no news about Master Huo and He Zhen.
If this letter, which seeks the Cold Cicada and Ice Dew from the Four Heroes of Meizhou, were to reach Qingyun Manor, it would likely attract He Huai'an.
It's not the right time yet...
Wang Sumo looked at the old man and the old man Weng. If he wanted to ask for a favor from one of the Four Heroes of Meizhou without compromising the relationship, it would be appropriate to ask the old man or the old man Weng.
Both of them were Huo Ling's elders.
It is reasonable that Master Qu and Master He were close friends. Master He was away, so Master Qu met Huo Ling on the way and took Huo Ling to Meizhou to seek medicine.
In addition, there was also Old Master Weng. Old Master Weng had previously served in Zhenhu Division, and the Four Heroes of Meizhou must have had dealings with him.
With the two old gentlemen stepping in, that's more than enough of a favor.
There's no need to inform Qingyun Manor.
We'll discuss this further after we've developed a complete solution.
Bai Cen immediately understood the owner's meaning: "Yes, this way there won't be any delays. It's just as well that He Zhen isn't here, so Bazhenlou can go to Weizhou together."
Originally, the old man was also worried about Huo Ling, but when Wang Sumo made the suggestion, the old man replied without hesitation, "That's even better, it won't cause any more trouble."
The sooner we get the Cold Cicada Ice Dew, the less suffering Huo Ling will endure.
Although he didn't know who else in Qingyun Manor could poison Huo Ling.
But these are not the priority right now.
With He Wenxue away, he was to take good care of Huo Ling for the master.
Grandpa Weng sensed something unspoken in Wang Sumo's words, though he didn't know what Sumo and Bai Cen had been whispering about every day lately.
But after so many years, it's clear that Zhenhu Division has encountered a thorny issue.
Su Mo and Bai Cen were both eager to go to Weizhou, so they must have other considerations. Old Master Weng didn't expose them: "I haven't been to Meizhou for a long time, and there's a martial arts tournament in Meizhou."
As soon as Wang Sumo looked at Zhao Tong, Zhao Tong nodded: "Wherever the master says, we'll go."
Jiang Yutang nodded, "I have no objection."
Duan Wuheng was even more excited: "That's great! I can stay with Huo Ling for a while longer! I'll go tell him!"
Duan Wuheng had already run off in high spirits.
With a childlike heart, everyone around him chuckled softly.
Fang Rushi, however, also looked at Meng Huizhou and said, "You have to go. I can't handle this by myself."
Fang Rushi's expression was strange.
Fang Rushi's eccentric temper was well-known throughout the martial arts world.
Fang Rushi herself was probably not used to needing help from others. But she also knew that although she had a way to detoxify, she might not be able to solve the problem by herself.
It's more prudent to discuss it together as a whole.
Meng Huizhou's mind was filled with what Bai Cen and Wang Sumo had said about He Huai'an last night, and the poison on Huo Ling's body was also administered by He Huai'an.
The detoxification process in Huo Ling's body will greatly benefit the diagnosis and treatment of Bai Cen's poisoning.
He naturally wanted to go: "Old Fang, let's go together."
Meng Huizhou did not make things difficult for Fang Rushi, who paused for a moment, a rare smile appearing on his face.

The old man rarely travels far, so Yang Fan helped prepare all the bags and packages.
The master is always forgetful and his mind is always on the merchant ship.
Although no decent merchant ship has been built yet, they still go to ride on other people's legitimate ocean-going merchant ships every day without fail.
The master really likes it.
He knew every part of the merchant ship like the back of his hand and could name it.
But this time, when it was really time to go on a long trip, I spent the whole night on my unfinished little merchant ship instead of going to other people's merchant ships to freeload.
Actually, there are hardly any people on ocean-going merchant ships at night.
He delivered the cloak once.
It's the dead of winter, and we're by the sea. The sea breeze is chilly; I hope you don't catch a cold.
He rarely saw the master drink.
The master made him drink a cup of wine with him.
To be honest, the master treated all the servants in the household and the craftsmen in the shipyard very well.
Before he was suddenly asked to go on a long trip, the master gave him a lot of instructions.
Everything, big or small, was handled by the government and the shipyard.
At first, he thought it was probably because the master didn't go out often, and he was worried about this and that when it was time to go out, so he kept nagging.
But as the master spoke, he gave him the key to the box in the mansion where the banknotes were stored.
He was astonished. This was too much responsibility; he dared not keep it safe!
The master earnestly advised him that if he found this trip enjoyable, he could travel the world with these martial arts figures and never return. He then instructed him to take out the silver notes and distribute them to the people in the household.
Oh, and the craftsmen at the shipyard have been paid.
I made a promise to him before, to let him work until he's old, but now that he's gone out first, I can't break my promise, because his whole family's livelihood depends on this.
Calculate the amount of money and give it to them. It doesn't matter if there's more; money is just an external thing.
Then, once all that is done, if he still doesn't have a destination in mind, he can stay and help with the final finishing touches on the merchant ship.
The banknotes in the money box should be enough.
If the ship is built and he happens to be free, he can take the small merchant ship for a spin around the surrounding rivers and lakes.
After that, let him do whatever he wants.
He had previously thought the master's instructions were rambling, but upon hearing this, Yang Fan began to feel a sense of unease.
This, this isn't the master rambling on.
This is clearly the master giving his final instructions...
Yang Fan felt a sense of panic.
No matter how I asked, the master wouldn't say anything, and instead got angry that I was just saying bad things!
He was helpless.
Today, the master is setting off with Bazhenlou, and Yang Fan saw him off all the way to the city gate.
"I'm going back." Meng Huizhou waved to him.
Yang Fan didn't move much, his brows were furrowed, he must have wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back in the end.
Just as the carriage slowly drove away from the gate of Weizhou City, Yang Fan stood on tiptoe and waved to him. He was too far away to hear clearly, but it looked like he was saying "Have a safe journey".
When they were almost out of sight, Meng Huizhou lowered the curtain of the carriage window.
It's been so long since he's left this world.
The moment I returned, things started in such a disastrous way.
Looking down, he found something rubbing against his feet. It was one of the three white tiger cubs. Meng Huizhou was most afraid of cats!
Isn't a tiger just a very big cat?
Meng Huizhou was sweating profusely: "Take it away, take it away now!"
Duan Wuheng pouted and stepped forward: "The Qilin is so obedient, it's not fierce at all!"
But Meng Huizhou had absolutely no desire to know whether it was fierce or not!
He was terrified.
Throughout the carriage, one could see that Yu'an Jushi had pressed himself against the side of the carriage out of fear of a white tiger cub.
Zhao Tong frowned and asked seriously, "Weren't they called 'powerful,' 'threatening,' and 'powerful' yesterday?"
Duan Wuheng sighed softly: "The owner has changed his mind. He said that all the pets at Bazhenlou must now be named after auspicious beasts. This one is called Qilin, that one is called Pixiu, and that one is called Yinglong."
All: "..."
Jiang Yutang trembled with fear: "Then, what about might and might?"
Duan Wuheng sighed, "They're not called 'majestic' or 'fierce' anymore. Now they're called 'Jianma' and 'Qiuniu'."
It would have been better to use the previous names!
Duan Wuheng wasn't finished yet: "And those three sheep, and the fish the owner kept in the fish tank, now they all have names! Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Baxia, Bian, Bixi, Chiwen..."
All: "..."
Is this for warding off evil spirits or exorcising demons?
[Author's Note]
