From the outside, this looks like an ordinary small village.
A series of sparsely arranged ordinary houses, a few crooked and crisscrossed dirt roads, and ordinary people walking and working in front of and behind the houses.
Xunzi followed Tianming and walked along the main road towards the innermost part of the village. The corner of his eye casually glanced at the villagers who passed by them from time to time, with an inexplicable smile hanging on his lips.
This village...is very interesting.
These villagers look like honest ordinary people, but their body postures when walking show that most of them have martial arts skills, but their strength may not be very good.
If it were another person, he might still be worried that Tianming would lead him into a den of thieves. After all, it doesn't look like a kind place.
But Xunzi doesn’t care much about this.
After Tianming led Xunzi to the innermost courtyard of the village, he stepped aside and playfully pointed at the closed main house in the middle of the courtyard, "Hey, I don't have anything to do with you later. Master Xunzi, go in and talk to them yourself."
Right."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside without waiting for Xunzi's response.
Regardless of why Gao Jianli and the others called Xunzi here, Tianming is no longer interested. He just wants to find a place to rest, and his legs are almost useless!
Xunzi turned his head to look at Tianming who was about to walk out of the courtyard. He frowned and shook his head slightly, but he did not move in the end.
The next second, Tianming felt his eyes go dark and lost consciousness.
The snow girl appeared at the door of the courtyard, reaching out to support Tianming who was about to collapse to the ground.
Xunzi looked at everything quietly without any reaction... It was not that there was no reaction at all. When he saw the Snow Girl for the first time, he couldn't help but praise the beautiful little girl in his heart.
He wanted to save Tianming just now, but he hesitated and failed.
It's just a knockout, not a fatal blow. Let's see what kind of medicine the other party sells in the gourd.
After the snow girl stabilized Tianming, she bowed slightly to Master Xun and said, "I have met Master Xun. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
"I'm fine, but..." Master Xun stroked his beard and looked at Tianming, "What do you want to do by knocking this child out?"
Even if what we are going to talk about next is inconvenient and God knows it, there is no need to do this. People are leaving, so why not just let him go?
"Senior, please come in for a detailed discussion." Xuenu picked up Tianming with one hand... to be more precise, she held him in her armpit. As she walked towards the main house, she extended her hand to invite Master Xun.
Mr. Xun naturally followed the guests as he pleased, deliberately falling behind Xue Nu and following her into the room.
When I went in and took a look, there were quite a few people in the room.
A pretty and sober little girl.
A short, fat old man with a machine arm.
And a handsome, cold-faced young man.
Xunzi basically knew their identities in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face.
When Yuki-onna said hello to him, she only called her "senpai" but didn't say her identity, which made her attitude clear.
Unlike Yan Lu, Snow Girl Gao Jianli met Yan Lu in order to help Zhang Liang gain Yan Lu's support. They needed to reveal their identities and gain a certain degree of trust with a more sincere attitude.
But facing Xunzi, they only need to ensure a tacit understanding between both parties. It is not a wise choice to directly identify their identities in front of this Confucian scholar with the highest status at present.
His willingness to come forward to persuade Fu Nian expressed his position to a certain extent, but only to a certain extent - Xunzi was only trying to persuade Fu Nian, rather than forcibly opposing the Confucian leader.
In short, it's all Zhang Liang's arrangement, just follow it.
Xunzi didn't know Zhang Liang's arrangement, but he could see the attitude of everyone in the Mohist family, and he was happy to do so.
If he really made it clear, he would not be able to continue to get involved with the Mo family - he must save some face for his nephew.
When the two sides met, Master Ban was the first to speak, cupping his hands towards Xunzi and saying, "I have met Master Xunzi."
When Xunzi saw this, he smiled and returned the gift - Master Ban was also an old man. He could maintain a distant attitude, but he could not be rude or scornful.
Later, Gao Jianli and Duan Murong also met their seniors one after another. The former Xunzi just nodded in response, but the latter was different.
Duan Murong is not from the Mo family, so she can openly confess her true identity.
"Jinghu Medical Village, Duan Murong, met Master Xun."
Although she was greeting her seniors, Duan Murong still had a cold expression on her face and was not at all angry.
Xunzi didn't care either, and was a little surprised, "It turned out to be the Jinghu Medical Immortal in front of him. I didn't expect it... It's fate that I have the honor to meet him today."
He was surprised for two reasons.
First, he really didn’t know that Jinghu Medical Immortal Duan Murong was now involved with the Mo family.
The second thing is... didn't he remember that Tianming asked him to come to him for treatment? Isn't there a miracle doctor?
Faced with Xunzi's words, Duanmurong said a few words modestly, "Master Xunzi praised him erroneously. The younger generation is less talented and less knowledgeable, so we should not be called medical immortals."
Xunzi smiled at this and said nothing more.
It's better to find out what their purpose is in finding you now, and it won't be too late to talk about the pleasantries later.
At this time, Xue Nu carried Tian Ming to the bedside and put him on it.
After she arranged Tianming, Master Ban told Master Xun the purpose of their meeting with him today:
"I invited Master Xun here today mainly to treat a person."
Xunzi nodded and said with some confusion, "Little friend Ziming mentioned it to me on the way, but he didn't say who was seeing the doctor."
"I see that you all are in good health, and Miss Duanmu is here, so..."
Xue Nu took the words and replied, "Actually, I'm treating... Ziming."
"Huh?" Master Xun frowned.
Yesterday plus today, he and Tianming have been in contact for a long time. Didn't he find anything wrong with the other party?
Even with his strong internal strength, he doesn’t look like he’s suffering from a serious illness, right?
Under doubt, Xunzi didn't waste any time, walked directly to the bed, reached out and took Tianming's right hand.
On this pulse No. 1, Master Xun immediately noticed the clue, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
After a while, Xunzi let go of Tianming's wrist, but did not relax his brows at all, "What a strange pulse... Yin and Yang are disordered, waxing and waning... Does it feel a little familiar?"
"What happened to this child?"
Duan Murong came over and stretched out her hand to twist Tianming's head, exposing the back of his neck. Purple-black lines were faintly visible, but they were not very obvious.
Now the curse mark has not taken effect, and the traces are not obvious. When it takes effect, the purple-black lines will cover half of Tianming's neck, and at the same time, the core will become blood red, and it will also stand out as if it represents the five elements.
Ordinary tiny marks.
Although the traces are not obvious now, the well-informed Xunzi still recognized the source of the problem at a glance based on the results of his previous pulse examination.
