Zhang Qiuli!
Where does this person live?
"At the foot of Desert Mountain!"
"That's great! We can go find him now!"
Mu Bingxing excitedly.
Xie Yuan shook his head. " Zhang Qiuli was a military doctor who followed Xuanyuan on his expeditions in his early years. Later, he was expelled for causing the death of a general, and he disappeared without a trace. Until recently, I heard someone mention him by chance, and that's when I remembered him."
"To be honest, he has saved countless lives in his life, including many Great Emperor and Heavenly Emperor. His only blemish is that of that general. Xuanyuan's actions were truly arbitrary, and whether he holds a grudge against Xuanyuan is unknown. Moreover, it is said that he has an eccentric personality and dislikes interacting with people... In short, if you want to go find him, you should be prepared to be turned away."
Mu Bingxing asked, "Uncle Xie, where is Desert Mountain?"
" Sixth Universe!"
" The Sixth Universe? Isn't that where Little Feng is located? It's convenient for him, so let him go there. As for past grudges... this is also a good opportunity to test him. If he can resolve even this kind of matter, it will further prove that my disciple has great talent, and that will put my mind at ease!"
Mu Bingxing's analysis was very logical and reasonable.
Xie Yuan and his companion were also persuaded.
They left the Eternal Night. Before leaving the Sixth Universe, they told Xie Feng about it through a communication talisman, and Xie Feng readily agreed.
In the southwest direction of the Sixth Universe, there are continuous green mountains, one peak after another, majestic and undulating. Among them is an inconspicuous mountain called Desert Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain lies a small courtyard nestled in a bamboo grove, now hidden away in the lush forest.
The courtyard is simple yet picturesque.
At this moment, dawn is breaking and all things are beginning to awaken.
In the center of the courtyard stood a rough stone table, on which lay a pile of fresh herbs, their roots still covered in soil, as if they had been pulled up just a few days ago.
A little boy, about eight or nine years old, was sorting medicinal herbs at a table. He was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his face was childish, his hands were moving mechanically, and his eyelids were drooping.
The little boy was drowsy and yawned repeatedly.
As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, and finally, unable to stay awake any longer, I lowered my head, wanting to fall asleep.
At this moment!
Whoosh!
A dark shadow attacked from behind him, and with a thud, struck him squarely on the head.
"Ouch!"
The boy clutched his head and screamed.
What hit him was a dark purple Ganoderma lucidum. Luckily, the Ganoderma lucidum was small, otherwise it would have definitely cracked his head open on the spot.
Although the Ganoderma lucidum is only the size of a baby's fist, it has an infinite luster, a fragrant aroma, and contains an ancient and profound aura, clearly indicating that it is a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
The little boy turned his head, staring at the main room door with anger but not daring to speak out.
A curtain hung on the door; it swayed in the wind, indicating that someone was inside and had launched this "hidden weapon" at him.
"You little rascal, you're not taking this seriously again! I told you to pick medicinal herbs, why are you sleeping?"
The curtain was flung open, and a middle-aged man in a grey robe stepped out. He had a cold and stern look in his eyes and stared at the little boy with great authority.
The little boy pouted, looking extremely aggrieved.
"I'm sorry, Master. I won't be careless again."
"This is a matter of attitude! Medical students must get rid of their lazy habits! Do you intend to treat patients with the same fear of hardship and fatigue? Yesterday, I asked you to pick two basins of medicinal herbs, and you only picked half a basin. I asked you to grind the herbs into powder, and you dawdled again. If you continue with this kind of poor attitude, you don't need to study medicine with me anymore. Pack your things and leave!"
The middle-aged man in the yellow robe spoke sternly.
"I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong. I will never be so lazy again. I will definitely overcome my laziness. Please don't send me away!"
The little boy said pitifully, tears welling up in his eyes.
The middle-aged man's gaze softened slightly after looking at them, and he said, "It's good that you know your mistakes and have a good heart. Alright, finish sorting these medicinal herbs, and make a cup of water with the Ganoderma lucidum to relieve fatigue!"
The little boy immediately cheered and exclaimed, "Master, I knew you were the best! Don't worry, I'll finish it quickly!"
He flashed an extremely bright and sunny smile.
The middle-aged man shook his head, turned around, and went back into his room.
After being startled, the little boy's drowsiness vanished, and he began sorting the medicinal herbs with Nine Heavens vigor.
A moment later.
The boy placed the selected medicinal herbs on a table against the wall in the yard to dry.
The surrounding courtyard walls were not made of brick or earth, but rather of bamboo fences.
After the little boy spread out the herbs and breathed a sigh of relief, he looked up and saw someone smiling at him from outside the fence.
It was still that malicious smile!
That person is Gu Yu!
He squinted at the little boy. "Hehehe, little friend, are your parents home?"
The little boy suddenly saw this thing and turned pale with fright. He pointed at the Gu Yu and cried, "Monster!"
Gu Yu glared at him. "Nonsense! Have you ever seen such a dashing and debonair monster? Call me handsome!"
The little boy swallowed hard; he could never utter such narcissistic words.
He remembered his master's admonition not to talk to strangers, so he quickly dusted off the dust that had fallen on his clothes while picking herbs, and turned to leave.
Gu Yu grew anxious. "Hey, little friend, don't go! I still have something to ask you!"
The little boy became even more frightened.
There's a pervert outside!
Just then, a soft, sweet voice drifted into the little boy's ears. "Little friend, wait a minute, we're not bad people."
Hearing the voice, the little boy turned around and saw a smiling woman in black standing next to Gu Yu. He hesitated for a moment, his gaze wary yet timid. "Who are you? What are you here for?"
The beautiful woman in black was none other than Xie Ling.
She winked at Gu Yu, realizing that it was indeed her turn to handle the situation!
Which little boy can resist a beautiful older sister with a soft, sweet voice?
She cleared her throat and continued in a high-pitched voice, "Little friend, are your parents home?"
The little boy nodded. "My master is in the room."
Xie Ling raised an eyebrow and smiled sweetly, "Could you please invite your master over? Or perhaps we could go in and pay him a visit?"
"Okay, let me ask!"
The little boy's voice was clear and crisp. After speaking, he turned around and ran into the main room directly opposite the door.
" Sister Ling, you're amazing!" Gu Yu gave a thumbs up.
"It's not that I'm amazing, it's that you look too much like a pervert trying to kidnap a child!" Xie Ling teased.
"Perhaps we'll be turned away."
At this moment, another man in blue robes stepped out from behind the two. He had a furrowed brow and seemed to be pessimistic about the situation.
Gu Yu crossed his arms, nonchalantly saying, "If he doesn't show up, we'll just barge in!"
Xie Feng said, "Such a rude approach is unnecessary. In short, let's act according to the situation and adapt to the circumstances!"
