Minghua Qiushi

"Master, are you looking for me?" Mu Xuance came to the front hall of the General's Mansion, and bowed respectfully to Ming Xi.Although Mingxi had told him many times that there was no need to be formal, Mu Xuance still insisted on doing so, so Mingxi had no choice but to let him go.

Ming Xi turned around and looked at the boy in front of him. He was only half a child when he was rescued by the Zuixian Pond, and his thin body made him even more frail. He has lived in the General's Mansion for two years, and he is already 15 years old. Grow into a handsome boy.Mu Xuance had delicate features and a slender body, which made him even more feminine.

Mingxi handed Mu Xuance a letter and said, "This is the list of military supplies for this season, which need to be sent to the border of the East China Sea. You will be in charge of this escort. Maybe it can be done well?"

Mu Xuance's eyes suddenly brightened, and he cupped his hands and said, "This disciple will surely fulfill his mission!"

Seeing his expression, Ming Xi thought to himself that this child is so happy to entrust him with an ordinary and no more ordinary escort, and he couldn't help saying softly: "It's a long way to go to the East China Sea this time, and you have never been to such a far place before. , Be more careful on the road."

Mu Xuance became even happier when he heard the words, and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your concern, Master, the disciple will be careful!" After saying goodbye to Master, he went to work.

Ming Xi couldn't help sighing secretly when he saw his leaving back. This kid is serious and thoughtful, and his spiritual strength has also improved rapidly. He is a rare pillar, much better than the prince Mu Jincheng. The emperor really has no vision .After thinking about it, I worried about the future of the Celestial Clan.

Fifteen days later...

The servants in the mansion returned in a panic: "General! General!"

"What's the panic?"

"The Fourth Highness is back, but he was seriously injured, the general should go and have a look!"

Hearing this, Mingxi was shocked, and hurried to visit Mu Xuance's room.I saw that the person in front of him was covered in blood, the most seriously injured was a pair of eyes, the eye sockets were bruised with black blood, as if he had been poisoned.Mingxi felt distressed for a while, and asked, "Xuance, how are you?"

The medical officer standing beside him said: "General, he passed out, we treat him first, if you have any questions, it's not too late for the general to ask him after he wakes up."

Hearing this, Ming Xi hurriedly stepped aside and asked the medical officer to apply acupuncture for the pulse and clean the wound.After being busy for a while, the medical officer mysteriously invited Ming Xi aside and said, "General, although the injury suffered by His Royal Highness is not life-threatening for the time being, what I am worried about is that this injury seems to be caused by a monster."

Ming Xi was surprised, and said, "Monsters? The whole way to the border of the East China Sea is the territory of my Celestial Clan. How could there be monsters invading?"

The doctor said: "Although the old man is not good at learning, the poison in his eyes is one of the strange poisons of the demon race, the Purple Scorpion Poison Powder. The old man will never be wrong. Although the Fourth Highness is only blind at the moment, it is difficult to guarantee that the poison will not be damaged. It will spread all over the body, the mild ones will be paralyzed, and the severe ones will be poisoned and die!"

Mingxi hated secretly, but right now Xuan Ce's life was more important, so he hurriedly asked, "Can this poison be cured?"

The doctor said: "I am ashamed, this poison is a strange poison. I am really not good at learning and can't share the worries of His Highness and the general." Seeing Ming Xi's sad face, he hurriedly said: "But there is still one person in the world. Maybe it can cure this poison."

Mingxi hates people who speak out of breath the most, can't they finish it all at once, it's shocking. "Who can understand?"

The medical officer looked troubled, and said: "The master of the Yaoling Clan in Baicao Mountain is known as Lord Yuhua."

Ming Xi said: "Okay, then I will send someone to invite him now."

The medical officer hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, general, the other party is the leader of the Demon Spirit Clan, how can he be invited easily? What's more, if a member of the Heavenly Clan who once had a war with the Demon Spirit Clan invites him, he will definitely not come. According to the old man, the general is the best It’s better to take the Fourth Highness to come to seek medical treatment in person, maybe he will still be willing to see him. Now that the Fourth Highness is too seriously injured to travel far, the old man has suppressed the poison temporarily. It is suggested that His Highness will take care of him for a few days, and then he will be with the general after the trauma is healed. It's more appropriate to go."

Ming Xi thought it was the reason, the Yaoling Clan and the Celestial Clan had enmity, it would be good if Lord Yuhua didn't drive him out, but could he still count on inviting him?There was still a glimmer of hope for him to come to the door in person, so he had to wait a few more days.

Mu Xuance was in a coma for three or four days before waking up, during which Ming Xi often came to visit.When Mu Xuance woke up that day, although he couldn't see him, he could feel his master sitting beside his bed, and said very moved: "Master, it's useless to be all disciples. If things are not done well, I have to trouble Master to take care of him."

Ming Xi said: "I didn't take care of it, Chu Xiao took care of it." I saw a slim young girl standing next to Mu Xuance, looking at Mu Xuance with concern.This Chu Xiao is Mingxi's distant cousin, she has often come to Mingxi's house for the past two years, she seems to like Mu Xuance, the admiration is so obvious that even Mingxi can see it. "By the way, Xuan Ce, how did you get injured?"

Mu Xuance hurriedly described the situation along the way.It turned out that he set off from the mansion that day, because he was carrying a large amount of military supplies and could not control the sword, they walked by land.The first few days went well, but when we reached a dense forest in the Taihang Mountains, we were attacked.

"Who hurt you?" Mingxi asked. Although Xuan Ce's current cultivation base is still far behind Li Yunting and Qin Qingluo, it should be enough to be alone, otherwise he would not let him lead the team to do errands alone .

"It's all because of my disciple's carelessness. I accidentally took the drug. After taking the drug, my whole body became weak. The disciple was also surprised. He clearly paid special attention to food and drink along the way. I don't know how the drug got on us. "Mu Xuance said.

Ming Xi knew that Xuan Ce had always been cautious, so it was impossible for him to poison his food, but probably because of smoking.There is a kind of colorless and odorless mist among the demons, even a person with high spiritual power like Ming Xi may not be able to easily detect it, let alone Xuan Ce.This monster used mist to plot against Xuance and then blinded him with poison. It is very despicable and hateful. I don't know how this child escaped.

Mu Xuance looked at Ming Xi with guilt in his eyes, and said, "This disciple has fulfilled the trust of Master, I hope Master will punish him!"

Ming Xi hurriedly said: "You have tried your best to protect that batch of supplies, it doesn't matter, what matters is your life!" Mu Xuance was quite moved when he heard the words.

In the court hall the next day, sure enough, the group of people headed by Nangong Chenao ruthlessly read Mingxi's book, and even suggested that the emperor dismiss Mingxi and investigate Yunyun, Mingxi remained silent, but Li Yunting quarreled with Nangong Chenao stand up.The Emperor of Heaven had a headache, and finally fined Ming Xi with a year's salary to settle the matter. Nangong Chenao refused to accept the Emperor of Heaven and pretended to be deaf and dumb, just pretending that he didn't hear.

Two days later, Ming Xi brought Mu Xuance to Baicao Mountain to seek medical treatment.Baicao Mountain has a radius of hundreds of miles. It is a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and abundant spiritual energy. Mingxi heard that Yuhuajun lives in the north of the main peak, near a waterfall and a clear pool.Mingxi flew away with Yujian, and there was no restrictive barrier set up on the mountain, so he arrived at the destination smoothly.Ming Xi landed on the edge of the clear pool, looked up, the waterfall was nearly twenty feet high, not too wide, hanging above the cliff like a jade belt, the splashing sound of falling water was very pleasant.Ming Xi sighed in his heart that it was a good place. He thought that Lord Yuhua was the head of the clan and should live in a palace or castle, but where there are any large buildings in this secluded valley, it is full of tree crowns when viewed from the sky.

The trees around here are too luxuriant, and his eyesight is not enough to look into the distance. Mingxi thought that Xuan Ce was blind and could not move, so he asked him to wait by the waterfall, and went to find the place where Lord Yuhua lived alone.After running in the wrong direction once, Ming Xi found a bamboo house on the east side of the waterfall. There was a plaque hanging on the bamboo house, which was called "Wangyouzhai".Ming Xi thought to himself, this could not be the residence of Lord Yuhua, it is very elegant, it seems that Lord Yuhua has good taste.I went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered. It seemed that I had gone out.

Helpless, he had no choice but to walk around casually, and after walking not far, Ming Xi was attracted by the melodious and melodious flute sound.The sound came from a towering tree, which was huge and had an extremely wide canopy, which was very special even in this densely wooded Baicao Mountain.Ming Xi approached and looked towards the place where the sound of the flute was coming from, and saw a young man sitting on a tree trunk, with his eyes closed, playing a musical instrument he had never seen before.Hearing that someone was approaching, that person slightly opened his eyes and looked at him. They were a pair of light green eyes, the first time Ming Xi saw such eyes.He was wearing a white gauze dress, with bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, his extremely long hair tied casually with a green ribbon, his hair color was yellowish, and his face was handsome and refined.As the breeze blows, the leaves of the trees slowly fall, and the hair of the people on the tree flutters like an exiled immortal.

The man looked at him in a daze, and said, "May I ask if this fairy friend came to look for me?"

Ming Xi returned to God and said, "May I ask if Your Excellency is Lord Yuhua?"

The man smiled slightly, the smile was as gentle as a breeze, and said: "Exactly." After speaking, he jumped down from the tree and landed gracefully. "Why are you looking for me?"

Ming Xi saluted, and said earnestly: "I am here to seek medical treatment. My apprentice was injured by a monster. I heard that Lord Yuhua has excellent medical skills and can cure strange poisons. I am here to ask for help."

Lord Yuhua also bowed back and said, "My dear friend, I'm overwhelmed. May I ask where you are practicing?"

Mingxi's heart is broken, if he says he is from the Jiuchongtian, will Lord Yuhua beat him out in anger, but even if he wants something from others, lying is even more inappropriate, so I struggled for a while He still replied: "My next Ming Xi is a member of the Tian Clan."

Lord Yuhua didn't look very surprised, and said: "It turns out to be General Chi Yun who is so powerful in all directions. I'm sorry and disrespectful."

Ming Xi looked embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "I know you may not want to see the people of the Tian Clan, but my disciple's life is in danger, I hope Lord Yuhua can save my disciple's life regardless of the previous suspicions, if he can help, Ming someday Definitely answer."

Jun Yuhua said: "Bring him here and let me see if he can be treated. As for the repayment... I haven't figured it out yet. I will ask you for it when I think about it."

Ming Xi didn't expect him to agree!After thinking about it for a while, he struggled for a long time and said, "...There is one thing I need to tell Your Excellency, my apprentice is Mu Xuance, the fourth prince of the current emperor..."

Hearing this, Lord Yuhua's complexion changed slightly, and he said quietly: "The general is a magnanimous gentleman, knowing that it was the Emperor of Heaven who launched the war against our clan back then, it's fine if you don't tell me I don't know, but now you want me to Do you want to save the enemy's son?"

Mingxi cupped his hands and said: "Your Excellency is generous enough to save my Celestial Clan, how can I still lie?" Seeing that Yuhua Jun was silent, he bent down and bowed deeply: "I beg Your Excellency to save me!" Disciple's life, I will promise anything in return!"

"Master! No!" Mu Xuance stumbled over. He waited by the waterfall for a long time but did not see Mingxi coming back. He thought this was the place of the demon spirit clan, and worried that Master would be in danger, so he came looking for him. "It's not a pity for my apprentice to die. Master, don't bow to others for me. You are General Chiyun!"

Lord Yuhua was quite moved when he saw their master-student love, and said: "Forget it, my enemy is only the Emperor of Heaven, so why do I have nothing to do with others. The boy who fought the war back then was not born yet, so I will not take my anger on him."

Mingxi didn't expect that Yuhua-jun would be so open-minded, and it would not be easy for him to do it, so he was amazed in his heart, and thanked Yuhua-jun from the bottom of his heart.

Mr. Yuhua led them to Wangyou Zhai. There was a piece of green bamboo planted in the yard, and a few colorful koi swimming in a small pond. things, and shelves full of books.Lord Yuhua invited them to sit down, and made tea in front of the tea table, with skillful and graceful movements.The majestic leader of the demon spirit clan doesn't live in the palace and has no servants to serve him around. He doesn't look like a prince at all, he looks like a secluded expert.

After taking two sips of tea, Lord Yuhua didn't delay, and began to check Mu Xuance's eyes, and said while checking, "What your medical officer said is true, it's the Zixie poison powder."

"Is it possible to solve it?" Ming Xi asked.

"It's not difficult to solve, but the trouble is that the medicinal materials are not complete." Jun Yuhua said.

"What medicinal materials are missing? All kinds of medicinal materials are sold in the heavenly realm. I'll go back to the heavenly realm to buy them." Ming Xi said.

Jun Yuhua smiled and said: "Although there are many medicinal materials in the heavenly world, the only fairy grass that can detoxify the purple scorpion poison is found in Baicao Mountain."

Ming Xi hurriedly said: "Then dare to ask Lord Yuhua where is this elixir? I'll go get it right away."

Jun Yuhua said: "Don't worry, general. This fairy grass grows on a cliff more than 50 miles to the east. Just like its name, it needs to be picked when the dew condenses to be effective, so we have to go at night."

Ming Xi said: "Don't bother Mr. Yuhua, I can go alone. You just need to tell me what the grass looks like."

Jun Yuhua said: "It's better for me to go with you. The general doesn't know. There is a black pool beside the cliff. There is a monster in Tan Zhongsheng, the red chinchilla. It is very difficult to deal with. You and I will go together to take care of several people."

Ming Xi thought that Lord Yuhua was not only broad-minded, but also generous, and he was a good friend, so he took advantage of the time to chat with Lord Yuhua, and the chat was very speculative.When the moon rose, the two set off to gather herbs.

The two walked with their swords for about two sticks of incense, and landed in front of a cliff. "There is a line of sky in front, you can just pass through here, this place is too narrow to hold a sword, let's walk in." Jun Yuhua said.

Ming Xi nodded and followed behind Lord Yuhua. This line of sky was indeed narrow and difficult to walk, and could only accommodate one person to pass through. In some places, he had to turn sideways to squeeze through.After walking for another stick of incense, the front gradually widened, and after walking for a while, there was indeed a pool of water at the end of the road.The pool is not big, only two or three feet wide, and it may have been formed after the underground river gushed out.No wonder Mr. Yuhua said that this is a black pool. The light at night is already poor, and it is surrounded by cliffs, so the pool looks dark.Ming Xi looked up the cliff, and sure enough, under the faint moonlight, there were clusters of crystal clear medicinal herbs, which looked like orchids.

Lord Yuhua said that there were monsters and beasts in this pool of water, and Mingxi did not act rashly.I saw Mr. Yuhua take out the musical instrument that Mingxi had seen last time and start playing. As the music sounded, a tree vine suddenly grew on the cliff, and it was stretching towards the fairy grass quietly like a snake.Seeing that the grass was about to be reached, suddenly a long tongue stuck out from the pool and cut off the vine.

Yuhua sighed and said: "Oh, I didn't steal it. I thought that the scarlet chinchilla monster's hearing is not good. We can quietly pick the fairy grass away, and we were discovered again."

Mr. Yuhua said, "It was discovered again", probably he had come to steal it a long time ago but failed to pick it, no wonder there are not enough medicinal materials, Ming Xi thought.There was only a loud sound of water, and a two-person-tall monster emerged from the bottom of the pool.This monster has a human-like face, but a fish body, a bit like a black catfish. Its cry is like a baby crying, and it is glaring at the two people in front of it with two big yellow eyes.

Yuhua-jun played the music again, and more than a dozen water plants quickly grew out of the pool to tightly wrap the red chinchilla. The monster writhed frantically and sprayed water jets from its mouth to attack the two of them. This jet of water was as sharp as a sword, There is a hole in the ground.This monster is not too difficult for Mingxi to deal with, most monsters are afraid of fire, Mingxi formed a seal, and a fire dragon attacked.But Yuhua Jun gave a soft "ah", the music stopped, and the water plants wrapped around Chi Chi's body also subsided.

Ming Xi hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?"

Lord Yuhua said: "Is this the true fire of Yan Po?"

"Exactly." Seeing that his complexion was not good, Ming Xi felt strange, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the demon spirit clan was transformed by the grass and tree elves because they were afraid of fire, not to mention the real flame of fire.After thinking this through, he hurriedly said, "I'm being reckless, sorry!"

"It's okay, the general is polite." Jun Yuhua said with a smile.

Without further ado, Ming Xi drew his sword and struck Chi Chi, instead of attacking with spells, he simply and rudely solved the problem.Yuhua-jun cooperated with water plants to control the Chiqi, and after a while, the monster was beaten back to its original form.It turned out to be a giant salamander, and Mingxi was about to cut it in two, when Jun Yuhua stopped him and said, "Forget it, it didn't harm anyone, this fairy grass is used for its cultivation, in fact, we broke into its home, Take its stuff."

Knowing that Lord Yuhua has a kind heart, Ming Xi obediently withdrew his sword.Just as he was picking herbs and was about to leave, Mingxi caught a glimpse of the sword on Yuhuajun's waist. It was a silver sword with jasper on the hilt. It was not ordinary at first glance. "I haven't seen you wearing a sword during the day, and I didn't pay attention to Yujian when I was on my way just now. This sword looks very extraordinary. Why didn't you use a sword just now?"

Lord Yuhua paused for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "This sword is called Lingshuang, it is my father's relic, and I usually don't wear it on my body when I enshrine it in the altar. I am not good at swordsmanship, but there is no need for me to make a move if there is a general here."

Mingxi was a little embarrassed, poking other people's sad things in a good manner, it's really like dying.As if guessing what Mingxi was thinking, Lord Yuhua smiled and said: "My father has passed away for many years, the general does not need to worry about it....The medicine has been picked, let's go quickly." The two returned to the entrance along the same road, Yu Jian gone back.
