The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

Lingtianbanguo has been developing for several years and has become prosperous. Many Tianjidao instruments have been introduced, and people's livelihood is colorful. Li Changxiao boarded a large ship and headed south, returning to Dawuzhou.

There is a miraculous doctor named Bian Huo in Dawuzhou, and he is going to look for him again. After the last separation, Bian Huo returned to Dawuzhou just to investigate the disease of longevity.

Li Changxiao walked to Centipede Valley. Looking inside from the outside of the mountain road, he saw mountains and forests, and steep mountain roads, like twisted centipedes. The vegetation inside was mostly black and purple. At first glance, it looked spooky, and then again, it was more than spooky, it was like the crying of wronged souls.

The mountain path along the way is very narrow, only enough for one carriage to pass. If you are not a driver with more than ten years of experience, you will never dare to set foot here. If you are not careful, you will fall into the depths of the valley and die.

Not long after walking, Li Changxiao suddenly heard the sound of a carriage behind him. Someone shouted, "Boy, make way, make way!" Li Changxiao turned his body to the side, pressed his body against the mountain wall, and tried to make room for an empty path. He saw a carriage coming from a distance, more than a hundred feet away. The mountain road here is winding, with a big bend every few dozen feet. The driver was sharp-eyed and started shouting even though they were far away. It can be seen that he is very experienced and very familiar with the mountain roads.

The driver gradually slowed down and stopped beside Li Changxiao, shouting, "Boy, where are you going? What are your plans?" Li Changxiao didn't mind the other person calling him "boy" and said, "I have nowhere to go, I just want to find a famous doctor!" The driver said, "What a coincidence, what a coincidence, get in the car!"

Li Chang smiled and asked, "Brother, you are really kind-hearted. We don't know each other, but you are willing to give me a ride." The driver said, "I can't help it even if you don't want to. I'm driving a mountain carriage, and there are ten carriages behind me. I'll give you a ride, and it will also be convenient for brothers who come later. Don't say too much, get in the car quickly!"

Li Changxiao jumped on the carriage. Although the driver was rude and careless, he was not a bad person. After getting on the carriage, the driver pulled the reins and flicked the soft bamboo whip. With a "snap" sound, the horse's hooves flew and the carriage galloped away along the mountain road.

The mountain road here was winding and narrow, which was really dangerous. If you deviate a little, you will fall into the valley. At the sharp bend, it suddenly turned left and right. If you didn't hold on to the edge of the carriage, you would fall upside down. There was another man in the carriage. Like Li Changxiao, he was invited by the driver halfway and was given a ride. The man looked pale and was dizzy. He didn't have the leisure to talk, but just forced a bitter smile.

Every time the carriage shook, the man trembled in fear. Li Changxiao saw it and secretly found it funny.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the mountain road gradually flattened out. The man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Li Changxiao took the opportunity to talk to him. Only then did he know that he was here to seek medical treatment.

It was unknown when the Centipede Valley became a holy place for medical fame. Every once in a while, a grand conference of miracle doctors was held. Miraculous doctors and patients from all over the country came to visit. Many people with strange diseases wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of their diseases. The doctors wanted to become famous, and each got what they wanted.

After another half an hour, the driver said, "We've arrived, we've arrived, you can get off now." The carriage reached a dense forest, where the trees were so dense that the carriage could no longer move. The carriage had to walk the rest of the way.

After getting off the train, Li Changxiao simply went with the man in the same compartment and took care of him. He learned that the man's name was "Liu Dake". For some reason, he had a dense rash under his armpits a year ago. Once he sweated, he would itch. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he came from afar to take advantage of this miracle doctor's conference to treat his illness.

As for whether it can be cured, there is no certainty. Those who are in a hurry to cure the disease will try all kinds of medical treatments. If medical treatment fails, they will pray to gods and Buddhas. Liu Dake asked Li Changxiao what disease he had. Li Changxiao joked that he was suffering from lovesickness. He was thinking about Bian Huo, and his trip was to reminisce with Bian Huo and ask about the progress of Changxiao's illness.

The two walked through the forest, where centipedes, poisonous snakes, flying insects... all poisonous things can be seen everywhere. Poison and medicine have the same origin. Medicine is three-quarters poison, and poison is also three-quarters medicine. Taking a risky move, using poison to fight poison, often works wonders.

After walking for more than half a day, they arrived at a small town in the valley, with about a thousand households. They found an inn to stay in, and after staying overnight, they continued to go deeper. After walking for another two days, they arrived at the "Centipede City".

The gate of this city is more than ten feet high and surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if there are thousands of troops, they can only sigh at the city. Li Changxiao entered the mountain city and was greeted by the unique folk customs. Liu Dake told Li Changxiao that this city was the place where the Divine Doctor Conference was held. Most of the famous doctors in the world gathered here. Liu Dake bowed and said goodbye. Li Changxiao did not try to keep him and found an inn with a good environment to stay.

In half a day, more and more visitors came to the city. The inn gradually filled up. Occasionally, there were noises of quarrels and fights in the lobby. Li Changxiao lay in the guest room, his hands behind his head, humming a little tune leisurely.

That day, they parted at Xingbang City of Dayu State. Bian Huo left alone to figure out the disease of longevity. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed. Although Li Changxiao's medical skills are excellent, he is "unorthodox" and is not a gifted person in the orthodox medical field. Bian Huo is "promoting the orthodox path". If even he cannot figure out the disease of longevity, then no one in the world can understand it clearly.

I just don't know if that Bian Huo is in Centipede Valley...

The next day, the Miracle Doctor Conference was in full swing. There was an open space in Centipede City with a stone sculpture of a man carrying a medical basket on his back. This place was called "Ren Xin Tan", where doctors sought medical advice and patients sought medical advice. The Miracle Doctor Conference was held here.

Li Changxiao came to the outside of the altar and took a quick look. There were about a hundred doctors and more than a thousand patients seeking medical treatment. None of the more than a thousand patients had common diseases, all of them had strange diseases of the time. Li Changxiao was very surprised. Although the Divine Doctor Conference was very famous, strange diseases were also rare. It was not possible to get them just by wanting them. More than a thousand kinds of strange diseases were indeed a lot.

The doctors tried their best to treat the patient. But seeing their frowns, they must have found the situation difficult to handle. The reason why strange diseases are "strange" is that they cannot be treated by common sense. Every disease needs to be treated with great effort. If you can cure one person, your medical skills are already good. If you can cure two people, your medical reputation will spread all over the world. If you can cure four or five people... you can be called a great doctor of the time.
