Chapter 406

Medical Hall.

Pei Ye walked in. Many injured people were lying in the hall, and Kongdong physicians were running back and forth. Pei Ye didn't see the familiar figure, so he went straight to the depths, the sound of people gradually disappearing behind him, and came to a quiet and deserted backyard.

Passing through the courtyard, just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a cold voice coming from inside.

"These cracks are not external wounds, but the continuous state of your body, the manifestation of deep disharmony. Medicine cannot cure it; it can only be adjusted from the root."

"Mm." The woman's familiar voice, accompanied by the sound of flipping pages, "Miss Qu, I remember your hut has a 'Sword of Life'. Dai Zhuangjian's 'Mount Taishan Leisure Notes' says it 'grows in spring and summer, and all things flourish. Old women practice it, walking like flying, can ward off'."

"Take off your sleeves, let me see again." The words were interrupted.

A short rustling sound.

The woman continued: "'. Can ward off a hundred diseases'. I have always been a bit curious. Clearly, practicing the sword cannot make an old woman grow a meridian tree. Does it really have such a magical effect?"

"Yes. Does it hurt when pressed like this?"

"It hurts." The woman's voice was thoughtful, "Then I think the logic of this sword moving tendons, bones, blood, and breath must be very interesting. I wonder if Miss Qu can perform it?"

"I can. I don't know what it would be like if this kind of injury were forcibly stitched up."

"It would be very ugly."

"It shouldn't be that it would break the thread by itself." The girl muttered to herself, "It's really an interesting body state."

"Miss Qu, can you perform it for me when you have time?"

"When you are in the 'Ice and Snow Body', are you still flesh and blood?"

"Mm?"

"Because this is not a wound that a normal body can produce, it looks like porcelain or glaze, so I think, in the 'Ice and Snow Body' state, are you brittle and hard when touched?"

"No. 'Ice and Snow Body' is a sublimation of essence. 'Gu She' says it is 'flawless', and 'Zhuangzi' says 'skin like ice and snow', which just means it looks cleaner. The body won't turn into anything else."

"Oh, you are completely without the 'Ice and Snow Body' state now, right?"

"Mm."

"Then your hair is so smooth and good-looking, what do you use to wash it on weekdays?"

"This is natural."

Pei Ye couldn't help laughing at the door. These two people had been talking at cross-purposes for a long time, often with no answers to their questions, and neither of them was in a hurry, and it even seemed quite harmonious.

He smiled and pushed the door in. Inside the room, a gauze cover was pulled up. Behind the cover, the girl was standing at the case with her back straight and neck lowered, preparing medicinal soup. Further away, on the couch, the woman's hazy and slender figure sat leaning against the bed, seemingly holding an ancient book in her hand.

Pei Ye gently lifted the gauze cover, smiled at the girl who was looking over, and was about to speak when Qu Xin lowered her head and said: "You came just in time. I also prepared a pot of medicinal soup for you by the way. After taking the 【Sprout Pill】, your internal life is sufficient, so don't supplement it anymore. This dose of soup can clear wounds and detoxify. They are all common medicinal materials. You follow, um."

"Oh, thank you, Divine Doctor Qu!"

But he heard her lowering her head and flipping through the papers on the case, muttering to herself: "Where is the prescription for the little hero?"

"."

Pei Ye remembered that she called Inspector Sui "White Braid". It seemed that giving people nicknames was one of her big habits. He corrected somewhat awkwardly: "Divine Doctor Qu, don't call me that, it sounds too strange."

"But Little Male Duck might seem disrespectful."

". Why call me Little Male Duck? My name is Pei Ye!"

"Because you want to find a little mother duck."

Pei Ye smiled politely and changed the subject: "You even hung a gauze cover."

"To prevent some people who don't knock before entering."

Pei Ye didn't want to talk at all. He walked in and looked at the woman leaning against the head of the bed. She tied her long hair with a ribbon. It was indeed a beautiful sight. She was lowering her head and tidying her sleeves. The loose and comfortable white clothes were indeed not very rigorous and tidy.

"Miss Ming," Pei Ye sat on the floor by the edge of the bed, looked up at her, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, whispering, "How are you?"

"It's nothing. Divine Doctor Qu helped heal for a night. Everything that can be recovered has been recovered, and I just need to sort out the remaining problems myself." Ming Qitian lowered her eyes and looked at him, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, why are your shoes covered in mud again?"

"I went to see how their case was going." Pei Ye hugged his knees and smiled, "Sure enough, there is nothing I can help with anymore."

"You are too busy-minded."

"I have to see the result. Now I know there is nothing for me to do." Pei Ye said, "Miss Ming, let me see your hand."

Ming Qitian reached out and stretched it to him: "It's nothing, it has already faded."

Those shocking cracks had disappeared, and the woman's neck and cheeks had also returned to a smooth and moist state. It looked like a situation for the better.

"Then, Miss Ming, I want to set off for the prefecture city tomorrow morning." Pei Ye said, "The matter here can be considered over. After going to the prefecture city at Inspector Sui's invitation, I will turn around and head to the Divine Capital. You."

The young man looked up at her.

He didn't take notifying the woman of his itinerary seriously at all, but after what the black cat said just now, he realized that this actually represented something.

"Okay, then let's set off tomorrow." Ming Qitian said. Pei Ye was just about to smile when he met the woman's clear eyes looking over, "However, when we arrive at the prefecture city, I will separate from you."

"."

"I want to go back to Yunlang to deal with the problem of 'Gu She', and continue to complete the world sword questioning." Ming Qitian said, "Platform Master Zhang insisted on arranging for someone to escort me, starting from the prefecture city."

". Oh." Pei Ye was quiet for a moment.

Ming Qitian paused for a moment: "If. your trip to the capital is not urgent, you can also wait for me in Shao Long for some time. I will come back to find you, and then we can set off together again, from Shao Long to the Divine Capital. There are four or five sword sects in between, and you can question the sword with me."

Pei Ye listened and was just about to speak when he couldn't help but smile as if he remembered something.

". What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Miss Ming." Pei Ye looked up at her and smiled with some embarrassment, "I just remembered that it was the same in Bowang City. You went to Mount Tianshan to question the sword, and I waited for you in the city to finish the martial arts competition so we could go on the road together. Now it's like this again, it's as if. even if I am not legless, I am mostly a horse, and I need someone to lead me to leave the city."

Ming Qitian smiled, and the black cat on Pei Ye's shoulder suddenly interrupted calmly: "You carry me every day."

"."

Pei Ye threw it to the ground, and the black cat jumped into Ming Qitian's arms.

Pei Ye didn't bother to pay attention to it, stretched out slightly and smiled: "Then, Miss Ming, when will you be back?"

"At least two ten-day periods, at most two months. I might have to discuss the path after 'Gu She' with my master."

"Oh." Pei Ye paused, "I probably won't delay in the prefecture city. Miss Ming, after this matter is over, I will learn about the situation in the Divine Capital from Inspector Sui, and then I should set off directly. I don't think I can catch up with you."

". Mm."

Pei Ye looked up again and smiled: "Miss Ming, I remember you said at that time that the heart of Gu She could only be polished in the human world. I thought you didn't have to go back to the mountain. However, it is indeed too dangerous."

"I don't have to go back. But there is another matter."

". What matter?"

"Your Mind-Spirit Realm." Ming Qitian picked up the sword book and lowered her head to flip through it, "I'll go back to the mountain to find a way."

"."

Ming Qitian handed the sword book to him: "You read this page."

"Ah?"

"Since we won't walk the road ahead together, let's make up for the things we missed in these few days."

"."

Pei Ye took the book in a daze. A finger suddenly poked his shoulder, and a prescription was handed to his eyes from his shoulder.

Turning his head, Qu Xin was standing behind him, saying with no expression: "Found it, take it every two days."

". Oh, thank you."

"Sorry, Pei Ye, was I impolite just now?"

"." Pei Ye was stunned, reacted, and waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no, you saved my life, I'm not that narrow-minded."

"Because every patient has privacy. Although she didn't take off her clothes, she still needs to knock." Qu Xin explained seriously.

Pei Ye was silent. She said this in a high-sounding way, and he couldn't bring up the fact that she didn't close the door and let him expose his butt.

"Then you are not angry with me anymore, right?"

". I wasn't in the first place."

"Mm-hmm." Qu Xin was very satisfied, "Then can I take the carriage back to the prefecture city tomorrow morning? I don't know how to ride a horse."

"."

————

The candles in the small courtyard burned all night.

In the peaceful night, Qu Xin was boiling medicine in front of the stove, the young man leaned against the woman's couch, and flipped through the entire sword classic page by page in the gentle voice.

Either because of insufficient time, or because the young man had already entered the spiritual realm, Ming Qitian didn't teach him higher things later, but took him to read the Jade Jade sword principles gifted by Li Weiru bit by bit.

"You are most proficient in this 'Jade Jade Sword' now. Bringing the sword to learn its sword principles is not a castle in the air. By verifying each other, you will understand everything." The woman said eloquently, "Your spiritual light is too prosperous, and you often have amazing feats in the sword path. I am not worried about you taking a low path in practicing the sword in the future, but I am worried that you have seen and fought with many outstanding sword talents, and therefore become ambitious and practice yourself into a lonely high building. You remember, every time you learn a sword with spiritual light, you must go back and thoroughly understand it from the sword principles and hard work. You must not be complacent and lazy to look at it again after learning it."

Pei Ye remembered every word in his heart.

When he closed the book, the sky was already clear. Pei Ye lay on the bed, and Qu Xin performed acupuncture on him again. This time she did close the door and pull the curtain, only separating the woman outside.

The black cat squatted at the head of the bed openly.

On the main road in front of Mount Kongdong, Pei Ye and several armored soldiers loaded their luggage onto the carriage one by one—almost all of them were Qu Xin's, and she even had a medicine stove as tall as a person—turned his head, and bowed to several familiar people to say goodbye.

Kong Lanting leaned against Shi Shaosheng with great reluctance. Guan Qianyan and Zhang Jingbi didn't react much—they were also dressed neatly, each leading a horse, and were going to the prefecture city for the gathering as Kongdong disciples.

This team was actually not too small.

Pei Ye finally nodded to Gan Zifeng, Xiao Changgong, Xu Shang, and others, and turned onto the carriage.

So in the morning light, the carriage went away, leaving this vast sect that stretched for a hundred miles behind. When he looked back, he could no longer see the faint iron building.

Moving further and further away, the last building he could see was a tall building like a gate.

"Brother Zhang, what is that? It seems I didn't see it when I was on the mountain." Pei Ye sat on the carriage shaft and turned his head to ask Zhang Jingbi, who was trotting alongside on his horse.

Zhang Jingbi looked back and was also stunned. Beside him, Guan Qianyan said: "That is the third gate of Kongdong, 【Knowing Sword Heart】. This is the ambition of entering Kongdong."

". Oh."

Pei Ye still remembered the first gate when he first arrived at Kongdong. Under the plaque of 【Other World】, the five people stood respectfully. Guan Qianyan was lazy, Zhang Jingbi was irritable, and under Xi Tianji's discipline, they were still full of childishness.

Now Xi Tianji and Yan Caiyue had both died, and they were the only two left who were suitable to represent Kongdong to the prefecture city.

In the silence, they had bypassed the depths of Great Kongdong and turned onto a main road that was not steep. It was vast and difficult to describe, with green forests lining the road. Those heavy mountain shadows were left behind, and the view suddenly had a refreshing openness.

A dozen or so horses galloped past from the side immediately.

The knights on the horses were all dressed in strong clothes and wore knives and swords. The leader was a wheat-skinned sword-wearing woman, followed by a young man leaning forward with his mouth opening and closing constantly.

They had already galloped past, but the heroic woman suddenly looked back, seemingly seeing the sect uniform, her eyebrows slightly surprised, and her lips formed the word "Kong".

Zhang Jingbi immediately bowed first, and the woman also nodded and cupped her hands in return, but did not stop her horse speed and galloped away.

Guan Qianyan had already gently pulled Zhang Jingbi's sleeve, frowned slightly and said: "That is Qu Ying of the Pi Kong lineage of the 【Five Sword Blessed Land】. She is one of the top three figures of their younger generation, and this time she is going to compete with us. And the 【Five Sword Blessed Land】 has always been unconvinced by us. You actually bowed to her first."

Zhang Jingbi was a bit stuttering: "I don't recognize who she is, I'm just afraid that others will think we are arrogant."

Pei Ye leaned on the carriage shaft and smiled slightly, suddenly realizing that it had been two months since he left Fenghuai, but this kind of clear grievances and Jianghu atmosphere with some dust was the first time it had rushed towards him.

No longer the ghostly and terrifying enemies, nor the golden eyes looking down on him from above, the weird and high-reaching magic techniques, the formations that are hard to reach in the world, the life-and-death moments again and again, and even the determination and hatred of treating life and death as the least valuable thing. all were behind him.

Heroic, calculating, cold words, drawing a knife in anger, being fierce and afraid of death—this is the vibrant Jianghu in the storybooks that he had always longed for since he was a child.
