Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years
Chapter 99: The Medical Immortal and the Wizard
He always tried medicines whose properties he didn't know himself and never let his disciples try them.
Along the way, it seemed that he had only met a group of ordinary people in the Medical Valley, but everything told Mu Xiaoqiao that Zhuo Sheng was not a wicked person. On the contrary, he was a person with a kind heart of a doctor.
And such a person who saved countless people has to bear the shackles for a lifetime because of a mistake he made in his youth.
"Let's go. I'll take you to see the master." Ruan Haoyu took the lead this time.
Passing through the lobby of the small building, it became darker and darker as we went deeper in. Later on, they simply lit up long-burning lamps on both sides. It turned out that this small building was connected to the mountain and went directly into the belly of the mountain.
This time, we didn't walk long before we entered a stone chamber. The chamber was very large, supported by four thick stone pillars in the middle. It was empty and spacious. The strange thing was that there was a freezing ice bed in the middle of the chamber, which was emitting cold air.
There were many ice beds of different sizes around, some of which had people lying on them. From the stone door nearby, the sound of pounding medicine could be heard.
"Master, I'm back." Ruan Haoyu couldn't wait to speak before he even entered the stone chamber.
"You little brat, you finally came back. I thought you were enjoying yourself in some sweet place..."
A thin old man rushed out of the stone chamber, talking as he walked. However, before he could finish his words, he saw Mu Xiaoqiao and stood there in shock with his mouth open, and forgot to say the rest of his words.
Ruan Haoyu was a little amused and waved his hand in front of Zhuo Sheng's eyes, "Hey, old man, why don't you say anything?"
Zhuo Sheng knocked Ruan Haoyu's hand away, walked around Mu Xiaoqiao, and murmured, "Resemblance, too similar."
Mu Xiaoqiao let him look at her with a cold face as he also looked at this medical immortal whose appearance he had imagined countless times in his mind.
He was similar to what he had imagined, but a little older. His hair and beard were not black, but he looked energetic. He was rather short, two centimeters shorter than himself. Looking at his face, he didn't look fierce, but rather a bit funny.
"Is Haoyu back?"
Another old man walked out of another stone chamber. Mu Xiaoqiao turned around and saw the old man with white hair and beard. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, he searched his memory and could not remember where he was.
On the contrary, when modern Mu Xiaoqiao saw this old man, he was shocked. Isn't this the doctor Jing he met in his previous life? How come he is still alive?
However, she was unable to convey her thoughts to Mu Xiaoqiao at the moment, so she was shocked in her heart, but she could not ask anything. She could only be a bystander and watch the development of the situation.
When Zhuo Sheng saw Doctor Jing, he rushed over like a child, hugged him and laughed, "Wizard, Old Jing, Haoyu found Xiao Qiao, found her."
It turned out to be the wizard that Ruan Haoyu mentioned.
Ruan Haoyu bowed and said, "Greetings, wizard."
Doctor Jing in the previous life, the wizard in this life, changed his expression when he saw Mu Xiaoqiao. He stared at her blankly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhuo Sheng was so happy that he didn't notice the wizard's abnormality. He just kept talking to himself, "It's been fifteen years. Xiao Qiao has been lost for fifteen years. Now she finally stands in front of me again. I have lived up to Concubine Li's trust."
As he spoke, he actually started to cry.
Mu Xiaoqiao turned away and said, "Are you living up to my trust? What do these fifteen years of mine have to do with you? Do you know what kind of life I've been leading?"
Ruan Haoyu held Mu Xiaoqiao's hand. He knew that it was impossible for Mu Xiaoqiao to have no resentment in her heart, and she needed to vent it, so he did not stop her.
Zhuo Sheng immediately lowered his head, "I am sorry to you and your daughter, Xiao Qiao. I was wrong. You can beat me or scold me if you want. Or, if killing me is the only way to relieve the hatred in your heart, then just kill me."
Mu Xiaoqiao clenched the Soul-Breaking Sword tightly in his hand.
Ruan Haoyu hurriedly held her other hand tightly and said anxiously: "Amu, no."
Mu Xiaoqiao took a deep breath and said, "Since Ayu has saved me several times, I can spare you, but you must tell me everything about my mother, and where my mother is buried. You must take me there."
"Even if you don't ask, I still have to tell you. I didn't do what your mother entrusted to me. All these years, I didn't even dare to die, for fear that I would die before I saw you, and then I would completely let your mother down. Thank God, you are still alive and well and have grown up."
Zhuo Sheng sighed with satisfaction and said, "Haoyu, tell the kitchen to make more delicious dishes tonight and vacate the best room facing the sun upstairs for Xiao Qiao to live in. You just came back and must be very tired. Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to say. You have made a great contribution this time, and the master will definitely reward you with some good medicine."
Ruan Haoyu's face instantly fell, "No, Master, please don't reward me. The last reward kept me out of bed for three days."
Mu Xiaoqiao almost couldn't hold it in. Zhuo Sheng's reward method was really too weird. What's the difference between this and punishment?
Zhuo Sheng looked a little embarrassed. He glanced at Mu Xiaoqiao and said awkwardly, "That time was a mistake, a mistake. I promise it won't happen this time. After you eat me, you will be as strong as ever and as powerful as ever." He pointed at Ruan Haoyu's hand holding Mu Xiaoqiao's, with an intriguing expression on his face.
Mu Xiaoqiao had never experienced the world and didn't know what this meant. Ruan Haoyu was extremely embarrassed: "What are you talking about? Aren't you afraid that the wizard will laugh at you?"
Having said that, he took Mu Xiaoqiao's hand and left. He didn't dare to stay any longer. If he did, he didn't know what unreliable words his unreliable master would say again.
Watching the two young men disappear, Zhuo Sheng turned back happily, only to find that the wizard had a serious look on his face. He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Old Jing, what's wrong with you? You haven't spoken for a long time."
The wizard shook his head, "If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided."
"What do you mean?" Zhuo Sheng scratched his head, but the wizard didn't intend to say anything more. He just sighed and went back to his stone chamber.
In the evening, Medical Immortal Valley prepared a large bonfire dinner for Mu Xiaoqiao. People from the entire Medical Immortal Valley came. Because Ruan Haoyu was so popular, many people rushed to get to know Mu Xiaoqiao, and there was an endless stream of people toasting him.
Mu Xiaoqiao had never drunk so much alcohol before. The alcohol in Yixian Valley was all grain alcohol brewed by the herbal farmers themselves. It had a mellow taste and a strong aftertaste. At first, Mu Xiaoqiao thought it was fine, but she didn't expect that in the end, Mu Xiaoqiao was carried back to his residence by Ruan Haoyu.
Ruan Haoyu gently put Mu Xiaoqiao on the bed, kissed her forehead, and stood up to leave, but Mu Xiaoqiao grabbed his sleeve. He turned around and found that she had opened her eyes at some point.
