Chapter 69: Take the old man as your teacher and collect the magical medicine
"Hey, little girl, if it were normal times, I would definitely not tell you, but considering that you just saved my life, it's okay to tell you. Do you know what the token of love between me and my wife is?"
When he said this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked completely different.
"Grandpa, I don't know." Su Yue looked at the old man's expression that suddenly changed, and guessed that it must be something very important.
"That's right. You are only thirteen or fourteen years old. How do you know about medicinal materials?" The old man seemed to lose his spirit again when he thought of this.
Su Yue's heart moved, the old man's two words were still lingering in her ears: If you hold on for another ten years, you will be saved. How do you know about medicinal materials?
"Grandpa, could this token of love be a medicinal herb?" Su Yue asked carefully, with an unnoticed excitement in her tone.
"That's right. It is a unique medicinal herb in the world, and it is also a token of love between my wife and I."
When the old man said this, he seemed to see a stunningly beautiful woman in red, excitedly pulling the young man to look at a medicinal herb with a strange fragrance.
"What a pity! It was not mature more than ten years ago. Now it is mature, but I am old and my wife is gone." The old man felt lonely and no longer wanted to speak.
"Grandpa, are you talking about the medicinal herb that is all red and has a strange fragrance?" Su Yue wanted to confirm his guess so much that he couldn't help but ask directly.
"How did you, little girl, know that?" The old man was shocked. Only a handful of people knew the secret of this elixir. How could this little girl, who was so young, know that?
Su Yue felt relieved that the old man admitted it! I didn't expect that this elixir actually had an owner. Thinking about the reason why the Medicine King was able to obtain this medicine in the previous life, it was probably because the old man unfortunately fell into the water at this time.
But thinking about what the Medicine King once said, this medicinal material is the secret of the Medicine King Valley, how could this ordinary old man in front of him know it?
Thinking about what the old man had just said about his medical skills, Su Yue suddenly realized something. Could it be that this old man had some relationship with Yaowang Valley?
"Grandpa, to be honest, I got this by chance. I came to this mountain this time just for this magical medicine. I have a newborn cousin whose life is hanging by a thread, and I used silver needles to keep him alive.
I hope Grandpa will give up his love and take me to find the elixir. I, Su Yue, will never forget your kindness. I can even do anything for you! ”
Su Yue didn't intend to hide it. After all, this thing belongs to someone else, and it would be unreasonable for her to take it without permission.
"Do you know medical skills?" The old man was moved when he heard Su Yue say that he was keeping the patient alive with silver needles.
"Yes, the situation is very urgent. Grandpa, please give up and take me to find the elixir!" Su Yue knelt down in front of the old man without reservation.
"You are a quick-witted girl. Your personality reminds me of an old friend."
The old man looked at the blurry red figure kneeling in front of him, and couldn't help but miss his wife, who also loved wearing red clothes.
"Forget it, you saved my life, so I owe you one. I'll take you to get this elixir. But I do have a request." The old man stared at Su Yue with his gray eyes and spoke in a light tone.
"Not to mention one, even if it's ten, I will agree." Hearing the old man's agreement, Su Yue nodded quickly.
"I want you to be my apprentice!" The old man looked at Su Yue with a smile on his face. From the first time he met this little girl to the time when she was able to keep her composure in the most critical moment, it really suited his taste.
"This..." Su Yue hesitated. After all, she wanted to be the disciple of the King of Medicine, and the request of the old man in front of her could not be refused.
"Why, you don't want to?" The old man couldn't see Su Yue's expression, but he could hear hesitation in her tone.
There are countless people who want to become his disciples. As long as he is willing to agree, there will be at least thousands of people coming. This little girl probably has never heard of his name.
"I am..." The old man was about to give his name when Su Yue interrupted him.
"No, I do. I'm Su Yue, the apprentice, and I greet the master. Master, I'll serve you tea when I find a formal time." After saying that, Su Yue kowtowed three times, which was considered a temporary apprenticeship.
Compared to the Medicine King's disciple, the child's life is more important!
"That's right, my good disciple. You will not suffer any loss if you take me as your master." Seeing Su Yue agree, the old man nodded with satisfaction and did not give his name again.
"If you take me across this stream, I will take you across." The old man stood up and pointed to the stream in front of him.
"Okay, Master, please follow me. I just saw a fallen tree over there. It's just the right size for us to cross the river." Su Yue carefully held the old man's hand and led the way.
It didn't take long before they crossed the stream.
"Let's go back to the path we were just on, then I can lead the way by feeling." said the old man. After all, after so many years, he was very familiar with that road. Not to mention that he was half blind now, even if he was completely blind, as long as he was on that road, he would be able to find it.
With the guidance of her master, Su Yue was much faster, and finally, she saw the peerless elixir.
On the cliff, a blood-red leaf was revealed under the shade of a protruding rock, which was very eye-catching among the withered yellow leaves.
But if it weren't for the master showing her the way, it would have taken her time to find the location.
Su Yue untied the hemp rope skillfully, tied a knot on a big tree next to him, and tied the other end around his waist, also with a knot.
Following her master's instructions, she slid down carefully step by step. When she was hanging on the cliff, she saw that the piece of red cloth she had placed at the bottom of the cliff was quite a bit tilted away from the location of the elixir.
Finally, with her efforts, she picked the elixir.
When she took it to show her master, the old man held the magic medicine with his eyes full of memories, as if he was missing something, and as if he was giving up something.
"Disciple, please keep it!" After a long time, he handed the medicine to Su Yue.
The two of them returned along the same route, and their speed increased a lot. When they reached the fork in the road halfway up the mountain, the old man spoke: "Disciple, I live in Yuanyin Temple. If you save someone, come find me!"
After saying that, without waiting for Su Yue to answer, he turned and headed for the side road.
Su Yue was stunned. This old man actually lives in Yuanyin Temple? !
"Master, do you want me to take you there?" She asked softly, looking at the old man's slowly moving back.
"No need, saving people is more important, don't delay." The old man did not turn around, but just waved his hand.
"Master, I will be here in two days. How will I find you then?" Su Yue shouted.
"Just look for Wuchen as you said."
"Wu Chen." This is clearly the title of a monk, but the master has not shaved his head.
Su Yue shook her head and stopped thinking about it. The most important thing right now was to save people.
When Su Yue returned to the foot of the mountain, it was still early. She excitedly walked to the place where she had tied her horse before and prepared to go back. As a result, her horse was gone!
Su Yue was shocked. The silver needle could only keep him alive for a day and a night. If he didn't have a horse, it would be too late for him to go back. The Yuanyin Temple was in the mountains, so there would definitely be no horses. There was no one living nearby. The originally excited Su Yue became panicked.
"Wheeh..." Suddenly, Su Yue heard the sound of horses coming from not far away, and there were faint curses.
