Blinking her eyes a few times, she said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see Shen Xiao. That old man is very kind and a good person."
Su Bi stood up, carefully extinguished the fire, then pulled Qin Nian and followed Lin Tiancheng into the valley.
After walking less than 200 meters, the weeds and thorns gradually became less, and a narrow rocky path meandered forward.
After walking another 200 meters, two thatched houses appeared in front of us. There were two western wing rooms in the yard surrounded by a fence.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lin Tiancheng started yelling:
“Brother Shen, I’m back, and I brought back two people, they’re here to see me.
One is my apprentice and the other is my nephew. They came to collect my body, but they didn’t expect that I was still alive.
However, I almost frightened them both to death.”
After saying that, he laughed, “Hehe.”
Amid the shouting, Lin Tiancheng brought Su Bi and Qin Nian into the thatched hut.
In this room, there is a kang under the south window, and a bed is placed against the north wall opposite the kang.
There was a square table against the west wall, with a teapot and several coarse porcelain bowls on it.
Shen Xiao crossed his knees and sat on the bed to practice his skills.
He heard Lin Tiancheng shouting and yelling. Just as he put on his shoes and went downstairs, Lin Tiancheng came in with Su Bi and Qin Nian.
"This is my savior, Shen Xiao."
After Lin Tiancheng introduced them, he pulled Su Bi over and said, "This is my nephew Su Bi, and this little girl is my apprentice Xiao Nian Nian."
Su Bi and Qin Nian immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings, Senior Shen, thank you for saving my life."
Shen Xiao smiled and bent down to pull the two young men up: "No need to be so polite, please stand up quickly."
Su Bi was fine. Qin Nian felt a strong force pulling her up and she stood up easily.
Qin Nian looked over.
Shen Xiao is the same age as Lin Tiancheng, but he looks much younger than Lin Tiancheng. He is also taller, almost catching up with Su Bi.
There was not a single gray hair on his head, which was tied up on top of his head and pinned with a wooden hairpin. He was wearing gray clothes and round-toed cloth shoes.
A true immortal.
"My two young friends, please take a seat."
Shen Xiao walked to the square table, picked up the bowl on the table and wanted to pour water.
Su Bi and Qin Nian both stood up hurriedly, and Su Bi said, “Senior Shen, I’ll do it.”
Shen Xiao was not polite and handed the teapot to Su Bi.
Su Bi poured a bowl of water for each person.
Lin Tiancheng picked up the bowl and took a big sip: “Brother Shen, I just went out for a stroll and smelled the fragrance.
I went over to see that the two of them were roasting grouse and eating it, so I rushed to eat a chicken leg. "
Shen Xiao smiled. Lin Tiancheng had been recuperating with him for such a long time, and it was obvious that he knew Lin Tiancheng's character very well.
Shen Xiao's eyes fell on Su Bi: "Su Bi, when that master uncle fell off the cliff, were you poisoned or injured?"
Su Bi nodded: "That day, I saw my uncle fall off the cliff, and I rushed over, but I was also poisoned and slapped -"
Su Bi briefly recounted what had happened.
Shen Xiao frowned slightly, his eyes filled with doubts: “After I rescued Brother Lin, I checked carefully and found that he was indeed poisoned by Lanlingmen.
Once poisoned, a person will die in a very short time. Brother Lin is not dead, and I can say that I treated him in time.
But Su Bi was poisoned by such a strong poison, and he didn't die for several days. What was the reason?"
He looked at Qin Nian and said, "Miss Qin, what medicine did you give Su Bi after he returned?"
Lin Tiancheng and Su Bi did not die after being poisoned because they had drunk spiritual spring water.
Su Bi was brought to the mountains, and Qin Nian gave him at least two large bowls of spiritual spring water every day, which could neutralize even the most toxic poison.
But such words cannot be said to Shen Xiao.
Qin Nian repeated what she had thought of in advance, saying that her master's internal skills might be able to protect the heart and spleen.
“When I was a child, I learned medicine from the village doctor, but I only learned a little bit and couldn’t prescribe medicine.
The medicine prepared for my senior brother was made from common herbs picked up from the pharmacy. I asked the doctor and he said there was nothing special about it.
After drinking it for a few days, the poison he had been poisoned with disappeared.
Senior Shen, is it possible that my brother was only slightly poisoned? "
Shen Xiao knew that if the girl in front of him could really detoxify, there would be no need to hide it.
Now it seems that Su Bi's poisoning was indeed very mild, and he only smelled a little bit, which cannot be considered poisoning.
His master's internal skills were able to protect his heart and spleen, and he also drank some herbal medicine, which saved his life.
But this statement didn't seem to completely convince him, and there was no other explanation, so he was a little confused.
"Senior, you are a disciple of Lanling Sect. Why do you live in seclusion in this valley?"
Shen Xiao's expression changed slightly: "I was expelled from Lanling Sect."
When these words came out, even Lin Tiancheng was stunned. During the time he was recuperating here, he never asked Shen Xiao why he lived in seclusion here.
But I didn't expect that I would be expelled from the sect.
Shen Xiao sighed deeply: “Brother Lin and the two young friends are able to come here because of my fate.
I'm in a good mood, so I'll tell you how I was kicked out of the sect. It all starts with Princess Lanling."
Princess Lanling and the current emperor are siblings. Her surname is Mo and her real name is Mo Xinying. According to the rules, everyone in the palace calls her Princess Ying.
Her mother's surname was Jia. She was not of high rank but was a noblewoman.
With her status, although the daughter she gave birth to would also be a princess, her status was far inferior to that of the princesses born to the queen and concubines.
Concubine Jia understood that when Princess Ying grew up, she would either be married off to a foreign tribe or be married off to the son of a minister by the Emperor.
She was tired of the palace, and the longing life made her feel hopeless.
Therefore, Concubine Jia did not want her daughter to be like her, a sad woman in the deep palace.
Fighting with various women may win you temporarily, but you cannot win you forever.
Concubine Jia wanted to send Princess Ying out of the palace and let her learn martial arts so that she could both protect herself and leave the palace.
But she is just a small benefactor. Even if she has many ideas, she cannot realize them without help.
But Concubine Jia was not a brainless person. By chance, she heard from a young eunuch beside the emperor that the elder brother of eunuch Qiu was the leader of the Lanling School and was a master of martial arts.
From then on, Concubine Jia gave all her belongings to the eunuch chief again and again.
After that, no matter what rewards he received, he gave them all away and did not keep anything for himself.
Finally, she moved the chief steward Qiu. When he found an opportunity, he asked Lady Jia what she wanted.
Concubine Jia knelt on the ground and said that she wanted Princess Ying to join the Lanling School and learn Kung Fu.
Chief Eunuch Qiu has been in the palace for a long time, and he knows the concubines' thoughts better than the emperor himself.
The emperor had long forgotten Concubine Jia, and he didn't care about the princess she gave birth to.
It was because of this that Manager Qiu agreed to help, and at the same time sent someone to deliver a letter to the leader of the Lanling Sect, his eldest brother Qiu Jiang, asking him to come to the capital.
One day, when the emperor was very happy, Chief Steward Qiu tactfully conveyed Lady Jia's intention, saying that he wanted Princess Ying to become a disciple of his eldest brother Lanling.
Learn civil and martial arts to serve the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he agreed. There were more than twenty princesses in the palace, and none of them knew kung fu.
