Traveling to the ancient harem

A carriage sped away in the direction of the Poison Doctor Valley.

Huang Ye and her companions had been on the road for five days. Finally, on this morning, the carriage drove into a small town. Second Master said that after passing this town, they would not have to go far before they entered the outskirts of the Poison Doctor Valley. She decided to leave Xiao Zhao in the town and the three of them walked into the valley.

Xiao Zhao looked at them worriedly and confirmed again and again: "I'll let the innkeeper take care of the carriage. I'm worried about you three women going into such a place. I'll go with you so that I can take care of you along the way."

"No, just keep an eye on the carriage. The things in the carriage are very important." She emphasized.

We won’t stay in there long.”

Huang Ye told Xiao Zhao that they were going to the valley to find a medicinal herb. She didn't want anyone to know the secret of the Second Master. The fewer people who knew about the Poison Doctor Valley, the better. Seeing that Yue Huan's matter had not completely passed, it was for his own good not to let Xiao Zhao know, for fear that the old matter would be brought up again one day, and anyone who knew about it would be in danger.

Xiao Zhao was worried, but he stayed anyway. He was just a coachman, and he couldn't stand meddling in other people's business.

The three people that Xiao Zhao was worried about were now standing at the foot of the Poison Doctor Valley. The mountain was covered with dense branches and leaves, and there were no signs of anyone having walked through it.

Jingzhen's face turned pale. After so many years, I finally came back to this place. Miss, Xiao Xingxing came back to see you. You know, I taught an apprentice. She is a good child. Today I brought her to kowtow to the master and you. How have you been doing in the underground these years?

"Uncle Master, it seems there is no way to get in." Hongdou said to Jingzhen.

"Come with me." Jingzhen came back to his senses and led them up from one side of the mountain. There were more rocks in this place, so it was relatively easier to go up.

It is easier said than done. When they climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already past noon. A few people sat down to rest for a while, ate the dry food they brought with them, and then started to walk down the mountain into the valley.

The way down the mountain was even more difficult to walk. Fortunately, Huang Ye and Hong Dou were used to running around in the primeval forest of Fanjing Mountain. Only Jing Zhen was exhausted and panting. He had to sit down and rest for a while after walking a distance. Finally, the three of them reached the bottom of the valley before dark.

It was not visible from the mountain before, but when I reached the bottom of the valley, the view suddenly opened up. Rows of houses were built at the bottom of the valley. Although they had been in disrepair for a long time and some houses had collapsed, their former prosperity could still be seen.

Jingzhen walked past these houses and came to a row of small stone houses built along the stream. He pushed open the door of the middle stone house, found a few candles from inside, lit two of them with a tinderbox, took down the candlestick on a cabinet, placed it on the table in the middle of the house, and then inserted the candles on it. The room immediately became bright.

Huang Ye and the other two walked into the house and looked around curiously. The furnishings in the house were very simple, with just some tables, chairs and cabinets, and nothing else.

"This is where the master used to entertain guests." Jingzhen explained, and then came to a room that looked like a kitchen and took out a wooden barrel. Hongdou looked at him long-temperedly, took the barrel and went to the stream to fetch water.

Jingzhen took out another clay pot from the kitchen. Huang Ye followed her to the stream, washed the pot under the cover of night, and brought it back for Hongdou to boil water.

Huang Ye washed several bowls with the water that Hongdou brought in, then poured boiling water into them, took out the steamed buns she bought in the town, and ate them with the garlic chili sauce she made herself (she made two jars in total and left one for the master when she left). Hongdou and Jingzhen were not afraid of spicy food, and the three of them ate with gusto. This stuff went really well with rice.

After dinner, the three of them simply washed up. Jingzhen opened the door of the next room, cleaned the bed inside, lit some mosquito repellent incense, and the three of them curled up on the bed and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, several people did not wake up until noon. Huang Ye thought that it might be because there was a sleeping pill in the incense sticks.

In short, the three of them woke up full of energy after a night of rest. They washed their faces by the stream and had breakfast. Jingzhen led them along a stone road and walked to another valley. There were tombs of all sizes in the valley. The valley was very large. Huang Ye did not count them carefully, but it seemed that there were at least dozens of tombs, if not a hundred.

Jingzhen knelt down, kowtowed to the graves, then stood up and said to Huang Ye, "This is the burial place of our Poison Doctor Valley, from our ancestors who came here to his descendants, as well as some disciples who have made great achievements and never left the valley. As their successor, you should kneel down and kowtow."

Huang Ye knelt down facing the tombs and kowtowed three times respectfully: "Dear seniors, I, Huang Ziye, pay my respects to you today. Seniors, rest assured that I will never let the inheritance of Poison Doctor Valley be cut off in the future."

Then she kowtowed again. She really thought so in her heart. The poison treatment skills of the Poison Doctor Valley were a treasure in the medical field. If she had the chance, she would find someone with both talent and integrity to pass on the Poison Doctor Valley's medical skills.
