Chapter 186 The Demon Cult Witch 15

Wen Wu originally thought that he would die.

The Xuyang Sect had launched a thousand-mile ambush on him. He was already at the end of his rope. All his resistance now was like the struggle of a trapped beast.

But who knew that just when the sword of the man in black was about to sever his heart veins, a long sword pierced the man in black's heart from behind.

The blood blurred Wen Wu's vision. He stared at the long sword for a long time before asking hoarsely: "What kind of sword is this, who are you?"

Yao Rong knocked down the last man in black, sheathed the sword, and said lightly: "Frost Sword. Juexian Pavilion. Yao Rong."

If someone had told Wen Wu in the past that the person he trusted most was from the Demon Cult, Wen Wu would have sneered.

But now, when he heard Yao Rong introduce himself, Wen Wu stopped trying, rolled his eyes, and let himself faint.

When Wen Wu woke up again, he was lying in a room, all the wounds on his body had been treated and bandaged.

Perhaps the people guarding outside heard the noise and went to report it, and Ah Xi quickly came over.

"Wen Wu, you're awake." Ah Xi said happily, and went forward to take Wen Wu's pulse. "The fever has subsided. You just need to take good care of yourself and you won't have to worry about your life."

Wen Wu covered his chest and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you a doctor?"

"Yes, just call me Ah Xi."

Wen Wu was slightly stunned, "So you are Miss Ah Xi."

Ah Xi imitated Wen Wu's sentence pattern and said generously, "So you are Wen Wu, the hero."

If Wen Wu hadn't been worried about pulling his wound, he would have laughed out loud.

Yes, this Miss Ah Xi is the protagonist of the gossip, and isn't he Wen Wu also the protagonist of the gossip.

Wen Wu asked where this was, and Ah Xi explained, "This is a base of Juexian Pavilion. Three days ago, my mother saved you. You were too badly injured at the time and couldn't move around. It just so happened that the place was not far from here, so my mother and I separated from the escort agency and brought you here."

Not long after arriving here, Wen Wu developed a high fever.

He had too many new and old wounds on his body. When Ah Xi treated his wounds, he was always doing his best and leaving the rest to fate. If Wen Wu's will to survive hadn't been strong enough, he would have gone to report to Prince Yan.

Hearing her mention Yao Rong, Wen Wu asked, "Where's your mother?"

"I went to clean up." Yao Rong walked into the house in the wind and snow, "The Xuyang Sect mobilized a lot of people to kill you."

Wen Wu said solemnly, "I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet."

Yao Rong said casually, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I am helping myself by helping you."

Wen Wu pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Yes, isn't this the reason why he trusts Juexian Pavilion?

They have a common enemy, so in this world, the one who least wants him to die quietly is Juexian Pavilion.

"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. You owe me more than one favor of saving your life."

What does this mean? Wen Wu asked with his eyes.

"The Xuyang Sect has a base not far from the Wen family. On the night of the Wen family's accident, they tried to sneak into the Wen family, but it was too late. In the end, they only rescued your brother's two grandsons. They are now in the Juexian Pavilion."

Wen Wu's originally dead eyes were suddenly stained with a strange color, and his face showed a look of crying and laughing. It took a while for him to calm down: "This favor is greater than saving my life."

He originally thought that the entire Wen family no longer existed, and now there are still two children left, which is a blessing from heaven.

Wen Wu's will to survive was originally very strong. After learning that his two nephews and grandsons were still alive, he burst out with unprecedented vitality.

In just two days, he will be able to sit up.

After making sure that Wen Wu's body could adapt to the hardships of the journey, Yao Rong continued on her journey and hurried back to Juexian Pavilion.

***

The red plum blossoms were in full bloom, the white snow was white, and it was at this time that Axi and his group returned to Juexian Pavilion.

Before she could see the scenery clearly, the Left Protector rushed to Axi with a leap, his tiger eyes filled with tears.

"Grandpa Zuo." Axi called out crisply.

The Left Protector patted Axi's shoulder awkwardly: "Hey, Axi, you have suffered a lot these years."

"It's not hard. With mother and Grandpa Zuo protecting me in the future, I will definitely live a very happy life."

Hearing her say this, the Left Protector felt even more sad. Such a good child had experienced such a terrible calculation.

Chen Nan asked from the side: "Are you hungry, Axi? I ​​asked the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles. Why don't you go and eat something first?"

Axi stared at Chen Nan for a few seconds and said uncertainly: "Are you Brother Chen Nan?"

"It's me." Chen Nan was even happier now, "You still remember me!" "Chen Nan

is now the right protector of Juexian Pavilion. I have been away for a few months, and thanks to him and several elders, there has been no chaos in Juexian Pavilion. By the way, he is also in charge of your prescription business. If there is anything wrong with the accounts, you can go and settle the accounts with him."

Yao Rong introduced Axi to the current situation of Juexian Pavilion in a few words, and also finalized Chen Nan's position as the right protector.

After chatting for a while, Yao Rong asked everyone to go back to work, and she took Ah Xi to the kitchen to eat noodles.

"Senior Brother Chen Nan is still as thoughtful and considerate as before." Ah Xi drank a sip of noodle soup, looking satisfied, "He even remembers how much seasoning I like to put in my noodles."

After using the things, the mother and daughter walked around the Juexian Pavilion before returning to Ah Xi's residence.

The yard had been cleaned in advance and was spotless.

All the furnishings in the house were almost exactly the same as in Ah Xi's memory, as if in the past six years, she did not "fall off a cliff and die", but just went on a long journey.

But the cenotaph standing in the back mountain told her that it was not the case.

Her mother really thought she was no longer in the world.

Yao Rong touched the cold tombstone and said to A Xi, "I will ask someone to push it down tomorrow."

A Xi smiled and said yes, then took Yao Rong's arm.

As soon as the mother and daughter came down the mountain, Chen Nan came over and reported to Yao Ronghui about Wen Wu: "I have sent the two children and the maids who serve them to the hero Wen Wu. The maids looking after the children will not affect the recovery of the hero Wen Wu."

Yao Rong nodded: "You should take care of the hero Wen Wu more often. Give him any treasures he needs."

Chen Nan looked at A Xi, his lips slightly curved: "Recently, I have collected a lot of medical books, and I have ordered someone to send them to your yard together with this month's share of the rouge shop."

Chen Nan said this, obviously to get rid of A Xi and report some things to Yao Ronghui alone.

Ah Xi also wanted to see these medical books as soon as possible, so she said hello to Yao Rong and ran back to her yard with her skirt lifted.

Yao Rong then said, "Go ahead."

Chen Nan bowed and said, "The He family is willing to cooperate with us. And the leader of Zhaotian Sect sold us a large batch of golden sore medicine at cost price some time ago."

"Elder Chang Yue also provided us with a list of the Xuyang Sect's strongholds hidden in various towns. If we eliminate these strongholds in one go, the Xuyang Sect's information source channels will basically be destroyed."

Yao Rong became interested and asked, "Chang Yue has been a rebel for so long, will the Xuyang Sect still be in those strongholds?"

Chen Nan: "This list was accidentally discovered by Elder Chang Yue. The Xuyang Sect's people should not know that she has this information."

Yao Rong thought for a while: "In this case, there is no need to rush to eliminate these strongholds. Let's keep them for now and catch them off guard on the eve of the action."

Chen Nan took the order and retreated.

***

After a heavy snowfall, the New Year is approaching.

Ah Xi propped up the window, looked out at the vast expanse of white, and let the cold wind pass through the hall.

In a blink of an eye, she had been back in Juexian Pavilion for a month.

This was the happiest month of her life.

Every day after breakfast, she began to look through medical books.

At noon, she would go to her mother's yard, have lunch with her mother, and stay there for a nap. In

the afternoon, she would sometimes look through medical books, sometimes stroll around the sect, and feed the white cranes that were raised by the lake.

Of course, she liked to feed the white cranes, and the elders and senior brothers and sisters of Juexian Pavilion also liked to feed her.

Ah Xi often eats special products brought back from the mountain by an elder, and also eats food baked by her senior brothers and sisters. When she is busy dealing with herbs, her junior brothers and sisters who have just finished martial arts practice will come to help her, and even share half of the maltose in their arms with her.

Ah Xi is addicted to such a warm and comfortable life, and is willing to do more for Juexian Pavilion.

But she doesn't know much, and the only thing she is good at is curing diseases and saving lives, so after thinking for a long time, Ah Xi wants to set up a clinic in Juexian Pavilion and open a herb garden.

Yao Rong was the first to express his support: "This is a good idea. Juexian Pavilion does lack a clinic. But as for the herb garden, what are you going to do?"

Ah Xi's idea is to reclaim a small piece of land in the back mountain, and then she will transplant various herbs into the herb garden. When the need arises, you can go directly to the herb garden to pick herbs.

Yao Rong thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to hear my ideas?"

"What ideas?" Ah Xi looked at Yao Rong curiously.

"If you are the only one taking care of the herb garden, the scale of the herb garden will definitely be very small, and the number of herbs planted in the herb garden will only be enough for the people of Juexian Pavilion. I want to ask you, are you willing to lead the people down the mountain to plant herbs together?"

There are several villages at the foot of the mountain where Juexian Pavilion is located.

The land in these villages is barren and not suitable for growing crops. The grain harvested each year can only barely make ends meet, and don't even think about more.

If herbs can be planted, on the one hand, the villagers can have more income, and on the other hand, it can also enrich the herb reserves of Juexian Pavilion.

In troubled times, no one will complain about having too many herbs.

Ah Xi was a little surprised at first. She just planted some herbs randomly when she opened a herb garden. She didn't know how to teach others to plant them. But after listening to Yao Rong's explanation, Ah Xi couldn't help thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion.

"I want to go to those villages first to see their soil quality, and then go to the nearby mountains to see what herbs grow there and what herbs are suitable for the village."

"Of course, no problem." Yao Rong smiled slightly, "I have something to do and can't leave for the time being. I'll send someone else to accompany you."

With the previous experience in mind, Yao Rong sent Zuo Hufa and Chang Yue to protect Ah Xi.

Accompanied by Zuo Hufa and Chang Yue, Ah Xi spent three days walking through several villages, and also talked to the villagers, asking them what herbs they would collect when they went into the mountains to collect herbs.

Afterwards, Ah Xi spent another five days carrying a basket of herbs and holding a hoe to collect herbs in the mountains.

After that, she locked herself in the study and read medical books for several days.

"Mom, I found some herbs suitable for promotion and cultivation."

At noon that day, Ah Xi ran to Yao Rong excitedly holding a medical book.

Yao Rong closed the letter in his hand and asked, "What herbs?"

Ah Xi named three herbs in one breath: "Astragalus, Bupleurum, Platycodon."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Seeing Ah Xi's high-spirited attitude, Yao Rong laughed in his heart and added a few more burdens on Ah Xi's shoulders: "Then I will give you another task. You can find a way to convince the villagers to learn from you how to grow herbs. What do you think?"

Ah Xi lowered his eyes and thought: "If you leave it to me, maybe I won't be able to catch up with this year's spring plowing."

Yao Rong spread his hands: "That's your problem."

Ah Xi pursed his lips: "Although the time is a bit tight, I am willing to accept this challenge."

With the experience of Qingfeng Town, Ah Xi would go to the village for free clinics every three days.

She built trust with the villagers by curing illnesses and saving lives.

When the time was right, Ah Xi brought up the idea of ​​planting herbs.

"I will teach you how to take care of the herb garden."

"I won't charge you for the seeds in the first year. I'll give you the seeds for free."

"And after the herbs are mature, if we can't find anyone to buy them, Juexian Pavilion will definitely buy them at the market price. We will never let you lose money."

Ah Xi went back and forth between the village and Juexian Pavilion, and the villagers all knew that she was from Juexian Pavilion, so they were more trusting of Ah Xi's words.

They would definitely not be happy if they were asked to use all their land to plant herbs at once. But many villagers were willing to use a small piece of land for a try.

A more impulsive young man said excitedly: "I will do whatever Doctor Axi tells me to do. You saved my life!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Doctor Axi's efforts and herbal medicine, I would still be suffering from illness and how could I work in the fields."

"Anyway, Doctor Axi will definitely not lie to us."

"That's right, we don't have anything that Doctor Axi can lie to us about. We are so poor, and this is all we have."

Listening to their words and looking at their eyes, Axi felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier.

The more people trust you, the less willing you are to betray that trust.

After thinking it over and over again, Axi decided to promote the planting of Bupleurum and Platycodon first.

Because Bupleurum and Platycodon grandiflorum are both annual herbs, they can be harvested around next autumn if planted this spring, while Astragalus membranaceus needs two to three years to mature.

With the trust she has built up, she can get the villagers to listen to her suggestions. But to further mobilize the villagers' enthusiasm, she still has to let them see the tangible benefits first.

"How about this, everyone think about how many acres of herbs you want to plant in the next two days, whether you want to plant Bupleurum or Platycodon grandiflorum, and report to the village chief after you have thought it through. Then I will prepare seeds for everyone according to the situation reported by the village chief."

Ah Xi said everything she could think of.

The left protector stood behind Ah Xi, looking at Ah Xi with pride, as if he was honored.

Elder Chang Yue also had some feelings.

As a former elder of the Xuyang Sect, Chang Yue had a superficial impression of the disciples in the sect.

She had seen Ah Xi many times in the clinic, but Ah Xi at that time was silent and introverted, and would only quietly complete his own duties. He would never stand in the front and make plans like he did today.

Everyone said that Juexian Pavilion was a demon sect, but the demon sect in the eyes of the world was thinking about how to increase the income of the people and how to make the people live a better life.

Ah Xi and his three companions just returned to the gate of Juexian Pavilion and met Yao Rong.

Without Ah Xi repeating what happened today, the left protector had already happily told Yao Rong about Ah Xi's performance today: "Our Ah Xi is really a smart and kind child."

Chang Yue also praised him generously: "Indeed. Ah Xi's performance these days is really impressive."

Yao Rong smiled: "You two elders said it's good, it seems that it is really good."

After chatting with them for a few words, Yao Rong took the wine to find Wen Wu.

Wen Wu's injury was really too serious. He had to stay in the house for three months before he could barely walk. He was sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

"Come to drink with me?"

"I'll treat you." Yao Rong pushed the pot of red wine in his hand in front of Wen Wu.

Wen Wu lifted the lid and smelled the wine: "It's a familiar smell. But I have two children in my courtyard, so it's not convenient for me to drink."

"Leave it there, and have a couple of drinks when you feel good."

"That's fine."

Yao Rong asked: "Will the injury affect your strength?"

Wen Wu did not hide it from Yao Rong: "Originally it might have an impact, but with the treasures provided by Juexian Pavilion, if I have a few more months, I can not only completely heal the injury, but also take it to the next level."

Yao Rong nodded, that's good.

Juexian Pavilion's top combat power is still a little lacking.

If Wen Wu's strength can be taken to the next level, it will definitely be a good thing for Juexian Pavilion.

"Are you still planning to rebuild the Wen family? If you don't plan to rebuild the Wen family, you might as well join Juexian Pavilion, and I will give you a position as an elder." "

Okay. Don't give me the position of elder. I'm used to being free and don't like to be in charge. Just give me a guest position. But I have a condition."

Yao Rong has always been very patient with talents: "You say."

"If my two nephews don't join Juexian Pavilion, maybe when they grow up, they will want to rebuild the Wen family."

"Of course no problem."

Wen Wu laughed loudly: "It's a pleasure to talk to a straightforward person like you. Come on, come on, let's get everything clear today."

Yao Rong was speechless. This man just said that it was not convenient for him to drink, but he still accompanied Wen Wu to have a drink.

Wen Wu suddenly asked: "When are you going to attack the Xuyang Sect?"

"When the Xuyang Sect becomes more chaotic."

This time it was Wen Wu's turn to be speechless: "Isn't the Xuyang Sect chaotic enough now?"

"If the Xuyang Sect was chaotic enough, would it have chased you for thousands of miles?"

Speaking of that chase, Wen Wu suddenly had no way to refute.

Yao Rong turned the wine glass in his hand and said leisurely: "The Xuyang Sect has been able to dominate the martial arts world for more than sixty years. The foundation is extraordinary. I even suspect that there are people at the level of supreme elders in the Xuyang Sect who are still alive. It looks chaotic now, but it is just an illusion caused by the decline in prestige. In fact, the Xuyang Sect has always been orderly in chaos, and all personnel dispatches have been smooth. When the personnel dispatches of the Xuyang Sect start to become chaotic, that will be the best time for us to take action."

Wen Wu smiled bitterly: "If Wen Yi and I could see it as clearly as you did that day, the Wen family would not have suffered the disaster it has today."

After taking a sip of wine, Wen Wu swallowed his anger.

He asked Yao Rong: "Then how do you plan to make them cause chaos?"

***

"Get out! Get out!"

The leader's residence has always been the most dignified place in the Xuyang Sect, but after Mu Wenxuan got into trouble, it is always very lively here, mixed with Mu Wenxuan's roar, the sound of things being smashed and broken, and the screams of maids and servants.

Sect Leader Mu was busy all day, and when he returned to the courtyard, he saw such a farce. He frowned immediately, and his sharp eyes pierced his servants like a knife: "Why is the young sect leader so angry again?" "

Replying to Sect Leader, the young sect leader...he went out for a walk today and happened to hear a few young disciples talking about his injury. They also said...and said...the young sect leader has no internal strength, so how can he be the young sect leader of Xuyang Sect..."

The servant was trembling as he answered, and after a long while he finally finished his words.

Master Mu's face suddenly turned ugly: "Which young disciples said that?"

The servant said: "I don't know, the young master didn't see their faces clearly."

Saying that he didn't see clearly was a euphemism.

Mu Wenxuan's eyes had long been blind, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Master Mu strode into the room, but just as he walked around the screen, a vase hit him.

Sect Master Mu quickly used his inner strength to hold up the vase, and sighed, "Wenxuan, it's Dad."

"Dad, Dad, you're here!" Mu Wenxuan's hair was disheveled, and he looked crazy, "Dad, I have nothing now, are you going to take away even the position of the young sect master! My father is the sect master, and I am the young sect master, isn't this a matter of course!?"

Sect Master Mu was worried that Mu Wenxuan would hurt himself if he moved too much, so he quickly followed Mu Wenxuan's words to comfort him, "Don't worry, don't worry, this is your position, and no one can take it away from you."

It was not known whether it was a coincidence or an accident, but the next morning, the third elder actually proposed in the hall to change the candidate for the young sect master.

After the third elder's voice fell, the disciples and sons of several elders behind Sect Master Mu quietly straightened their chests.

Obviously, every one of these people has some idea about the position of the young master.

Master Mu was furious and even suspected that those young disciples yesterday were arranged by the third elder. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Wen Xuan heard those words yesterday and the third elder made a similar proposal in the hall today.

In anger, Master Mu said something a bit too much and scolded several elders.

"What is your intention to change the young master so quickly?"

"I'm not old yet, and you have already started to consider what will happen after I die, right!"

If he hadn't been pulled away, the third elder would definitely have quarreled with Master Mu.

Everyone left unhappily.

Privately, the third elder snorted coldly: "If Wenxuan was still fine, I would definitely not make such an annoying proposal. But Wenxuan is like this in the future. We can afford to support a useless person in Xuyang Sect, but we can't joke about the position of the young leader."

The sixth elder also echoed: "That's right, there are so many excellent disciples in the sect, what's wrong with giving other disciples some opportunities?"

Not to mention the elders, even the disciples of the head of the sect, were secretly criticizing the decision of the head of the sect.

I don't know who made such a voice first.

"The elders and the headmaster are mutually checking and balancing. The headmaster doesn't consider the elders' opinions at all. Isn't he too arbitrary?"

"The position of the young headmaster cannot be decided by the headmaster alone."

"Anyway, such a position must be occupied by capable, virtuous, and respected by fellow disciples. A useless person must not occupy it!"

As long as one is a human being, he will have selfish desires.

This selfish desire did not emerge before because headmaster Mu was able to suppress everyone and Mu Wenxuan's qualifications were not bad.

But now, if there is a chance, who would not want to let his grandson/son become the young headmaster, or even the future headmaster?

The balance tilted a little bit like this, and the situation got a little bit out of control. Without

Master Mu's knowledge, many elders united to try to weaken Master Mu's power; those young disciples who had the opportunity to compete for the position of Young Master were also ready to make a move.
