"My health is not up to par. I was born with this strange disease. When I get sick, I fall asleep and look like a dead person."
"By the way, I also met Sister Mu and the eldest young master when we were at the inn." Miss Xia said.
"Yes, at that time your face was pale, your whole body was cold, your breathing and pulse were almost non-existent, and even the doctor asked us to prepare your funeral."
"So, sister, you have this disease."
"Well, when I was young, it only happened once every three or four years. When I grew up, it became once every one or two years, and now it's once every three or four months."
"Originally, my father took me to perform on the streets. Although I was poor, I was still hungry. As long as I had any money left, my father would use it to treat me."
"But I saw many doctors and took some medicine, but my condition never got better. Later, my father got seriously ill and passed away."
Miss Xia said: "That's the way it is."
"Senior, is there any cure for Xia Mei's illness?"
"This girl can obviously talk and move, but with this reaction and the current situation, there is no sign of a spell being cast on her.
This is the first time I have seen such a situation of either death or life."
"Senior, is there nothing you can do?" Lin Xiao said.
"There was once a woman in the Central Plains who was seriously injured. Her spirit was damaged and she could not recover. Later, the holy aunt of Bai Miao used a magic to revive her."
"Where is that holy aunt?" Lin Xiao asked.
"That happened decades ago. How do I know? At that time, we Heimiao were still following the leader, saying that this girl was not like the Central Plains girl."
"It's okay, thank you for seeing me." Miss Xia said.
"You're such a strange girl. When other people know that their illness has not been cured, they will always cry and make a fuss. But you can see clearly."
"Many doctors have visited me before and they all said the same thing. I'm used to it. They said that when I was sick, I was like a dead person. I could die while sleeping. Compared with those people who struggled for a long time before dying.
, you should still be much luckier."
Miss Xia said.
"Miss Xia, don't talk nonsense." Lin Xiao said.
"You are interested. Well, let me tell you one more thing. I heard that the woman has something to do with the Shushan sect. You can ask her."
"Excuse me, which Taoist priest should we find?" Lin Xiao said.
"Who knew that what happened decades ago had something to do with that bull nose? Okay, I'm tired too. You can go."
"It seems that you are going to the Shushan sect."
"Yes, I didn't expect that everything now involves the Shushan Sect, the matter of Brother Jiang and the little sister." Murong said.
"Brother Jiang, the Shushan sect has always been committed to slaying demons. I think this time it is better for me, Sister Xia, and the eldest young master to go first. You can stay here for a few days and wait for news from us."
"This is my business, but I need you to run for me."
"We are friends to begin with. Why are you talking about this? It's settled. It's getting late. Let's have a night's rest and set off tomorrow morning."
"Brother Lin, you're not asleep yet."
"I feel restless and can't sleep."
"Miss Xia, there must be nothing wrong."
'Brother Jiang, I haven't rested yet. I'm really worried about going back?'
"Brother Lin, my master has been so kind to me. I have been trying to forget the Ouyang family in my heart, but what I saw and heard in Qianfengling can't help but shake my previous understanding of good and evil." Jiang Cheng said.
"I don't know what to say. I want to go back, but can I really go back now?"
"Brother Jiang, don't lose confidence. We will do our best to help you return to the villa."
"Thank you, Brother Lin. Let me think about it alone."
‘Then, I’ll go out for some fresh air and I’ll be back soon.’ Lin Xiao said.
Lin Xiao walked out of the room and looked at the scenery outside, but he was very troubled in his heart.
"Why are you here? You can't sleep."
But I don't want to see Miss Xia.
"Is this place keeping you awake?"
"Haha, I haven't heard you tease me for a long time." Lin Xiao said.
"The last time I heard you say this was at Zhejian Villa. I didn't expect so many things to happen at that time."
"I didn't expect to be with you all for so long."
"Can I sit down?"
"Okay." Miss Xia said.
"Haha, what do you have to say."
"Miss Xia, why didn't you tell us about your condition before?"
"Let me tell you, I didn't expect to be with you for so long. I met so many people and happened so many things along the way. I even saw monsters and ghosts. It was simply more exciting than a storyteller. Everyone was unfamiliar with the illness at the beginning.
, I’m not going to say it.
"Oh, I was thinking of breaking up the gang when we arrived at Zhejian Villa, but I didn't expect something happened to Brother Jiang." Miss Xia said.
"After that, I flew into the sky again in a daze. Although there were dangers along the way, I was very happy to be with everyone. I almost forgot about my illness. When I remembered it, I couldn't hold on anymore."
"Miss Xia." Lin Xiao said.
"Okay, I understand, I won't hide anything from you in the future."
"Well, it's settled. By the way, Miss Xia, what do you want to say?"
"I want to say that when we get to Shushan, after Brother Jiang's matter is resolved, we can break up the gang." Miss Xia said.
"Why do you say that?" Lin Xiao said.
"I was four years old when I first got sick."
'What does this have to do with breaking up the gang?'
"Listen carefully to what I have to say."
"You take it."
'That day when my father came home and saw that I was motionless, he was so frightened that he hurriedly went to find the doctor.
But the doctor asked him to prepare for his funeral.’
"Other doctors must have said the same thing."
'Um.'
"According to the custom in our hometown, we have to stay at home for two days before burial. But when I woke up on the third day, I found myself lying in a small coffin."
'I got up. People in the village saw me as if they were seeing a ghost. Only my father held me and cried.'
'Later on, I couldn't stay in the village anymore. People said that I was possessed by ghosts and wanted my father and me to get out. So we had no choice but to leave the village and start wandering around.'
"When we grow up, we also understand that we are different from other people. We have gone to many places to seek medical treatment, but we have never been cured." Miss Xia said.
"Every time I get sick, my dad is waiting for me. I know he is afraid that I will never wake up again."
"Later, my father became seriously ill. Before he left, he said to me: "I'm sorry, girl, I didn't expect that I would leave earlier than you."
"Dad worked hard to raise me and was worried about me all the time. He could have lived a better life without me."
"I'm a burden to dad, and I don't want to be a burden to others, but now you have to run around and worry about my illness. In this way, won't I become a burden again?"
"So, you want to leave?" Lin Xiao said.
"Yes." Miss Xia said, "But don't worry, I will go with you to help Mr. Jiang clear his name."
"Young Master, did you hear what I said?" Miss Xia said.
"Miss Xia, you still like to call me eldest young master." Lin Xiao said.
"Well, we've been together for a long time. I know you don't like to look at people with your nostrils. I can get used to calling you at first. How about I call you by your name in the future?"
"That's what I meant." Lin Xiao said.
"That." Miss Xia said.
"Young Master....Lin Xiao."
"Um."
"Haha, it sounds so strange." Miss Xia said.
"Miss Xia, I will definitely cure your illness. Brother Jiang has suffered an unjust injustice. As a friend, I will do my best to help you. Miss Xia is sick, and I, Ding Ao, will find a cure."
"So leave this, please don't say it again."
"Just because Miss Xia is a very important friend to us, please promise me." Lin Xiao said.
"Yes, I promise you." Miss Xia said.
Early the next morning.
"Brother Jiang, although this is Miao territory, it's best to be careful. We are going to Shushan this time. If we go quickly, Shi Tian will be back soon," Murong said.
"Thank you everyone, you should be more careful." Jiang Cheng said.
"Speaking of Jie Luo and Li Yan."
"I haven't seen him since morning," Jiang Cheng said.
"That's it."
"Miss Xia, the Ouyang family has some contacts with Shushan. I once heard that the Shushan sect has a Taoist priest named Caogu who is proficient in medical treatment. Maybe she can cure you." Jiang Cheng said.
"Well, I understand, thank you." Lin Xiao said.
"Brother Jiang, we are leaving for Shushan Sect now, take care."
"Take care and have a safe journey."
Soon everyone arrived at Shushan.
"This Shushan Mountain is so majestic."
"Shu Mountain deserves to be a sect of cultivating immortals. This mountain actually floats in the air."
"Sister Xia, I can't even move my eyes when I look at it."
"What's wrong? I usually fly around, but why am I so shocked here?" Murong said.
"Compared with that stone, this place is much more majestic, and I was fascinated by it immediately." Miss Xia said.
"It's human nature to be a beautiful girl. How many mortals can't help but be amazed when seeing such a scene. But I don't have time to appreciate it right now, so I'd better ask about us as soon as possible." Lin Xiao said.
"I wonder if Taoist Master Lingbo is here. It would be difficult for such a large sect without a personal introduction," Murong said.
"Let's go see him first," Lin Xiao said.
"Who are these three distinguished guests, and why do you come to Shushan?" said the disciple guarding the mountain.
"Taoist Master, we came here specially to visit Taoist Master Lingbo. I didn't know that she is in Shushan right now."
"May I ask their names so that I can inform Senior Sister."
"Now that you're busy, let me tell you that Lin Xiao, Miss Murong and Miss Xia are here to visit." Lin Xiao said.
"Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
Not long after.
"It is indeed you." Ling Bo said.
"Taoist Master Lingbo, long time no see." Lin Xiao said.
"Why are there only three of them, Mr. Huangpu and Mr. Jiang?"
"Both of them are inconvenient. By the way, we met Mr. Long in Miao territory a few days ago, and today we met the Taoist priest here. It can be said that we are destined. I wonder if the Taoist priest can help."
"He went to Miao territory?"
"Don't you find it, Taoist Master? We met Mr. Long on the road. He said he was looking for medicinal herbs."
"Yeah,"
"Shortly after leaving Loulan, Long Ming and I went our separate ways. We haven't seen each other for a long time. What's going on with you guys?"
'It's a long story. Can we discuss it somewhere else?'
"Come with me."
Came to an empty place.
"The Taoism of the Immortal family is indeed extraordinary, and the sword alone is impressive."
"This spell allows the sword to attack by itself, and it can also be used to travel. It is really comfortable for those who are cultivating immortals." Miss Xia said.
"Girl, I'm joking. People who practice immortality have a lot of rules and regulations. It's very boring."
"Is it so troublesome to be an immortal?"
"I heard that Shushan is different from others."
"With so many people in Shushan, has anyone become an immortal?"
"I heard that a master in Shu Mountain ascended to become an immortal, and there was also a disciple who also ascended in the daytime and was named King Ming."
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin knows a lot about our Shushan sect." Ling Bo said.
'Just what I saw from the collection of books.'
"Master Lin is really knowledgeable, and the elder Yushu of our sect is also fond of reading. If you have the opportunity to meet, you will definitely hit it off."
"This is my room. If you have anything, please come in and discuss it in detail."
After entering the house, Lin Xiao briefly explained the matter.
"So many things have happened to Mr. Jiang and Miss Xia before."
"That is to say, Young Master Jiang is considered a demon, and now all martial arts sects are trying to get rid of him."
'exactly.'
"But the last time I saw Young Master Jiang, I didn't feel that he had any demonic aura."
"They are not in Shushan now and will report to the leader."
"Then can we ask the leader for advice?" Lin Xiao said.
"The leader likes to travel around, and he is no longer in the sect at this time."
"But when the leader is away, the affairs within the sect are managed by a few elders. The disciples have to report them after they come back from the mountain to perform their tasks. Maybe they know something."
Ling Bo said: "If you want to cover up, I'll go with you to see Uncle Caogu and heal Miss Xia by the way."
"It's causing trouble for the Taoist priest." Miss Xia said.
'Don't worry, Miss Xia, Uncle Caogu will definitely cure your illness.'
"The pills in Shushan are refined by Shanfang, and Uncle Caogu is here."
"Don't delay, let's go directly."
"Yes, Senior Sister Lingbo."
"Ruosi, these are my son's friends from the martial arts world. They came to Shushan for some business and wanted to visit Master Caogu. I wonder if it is convenient for Master now."
"Senior sister has arrived just in time, and master has just returned from collecting medicine. I will go and report it right away."
Not long after.
"Senior sister, Master asked you to come in."
"Thank you, junior sister."
"Disciple Lingbo has met my uncle."
"You two have also studied under me, why are you so open-minded?"
"I'm afraid that it will disturb my uncle's alchemy."
'You are always considerate in everything you do, who are these?'
"Lin Xiao, I met Taoist Priest Caogu."
"Oh, Young Master Lin Jia."
"These two girls must be Miss Xia and Miss Murong."
"Huh? How do you know? Could it be that you have mind-reading magic?"
"You can't read minds in immortal magic, but I just heard my disciples talk about killing monsters before."
‘During the Napin Sword Tournament, the demonic energy was discovered.’
"Is this why you're here?"
"To be honest, Jiang Chengcheng, who hurt others at the time, was my best friend, but now he is slandered as a murderer, and because of the testimony of Shushan disciples, he can't defend himself at all," Lin Xiao said.
"Taoist Master, I got acquainted with Jiang Cheng. At that time, he was just possessed and lost control. He was definitely not a monster who killed people wantonly. The Shushan sect is a well-known and upright sect. Please be able to uphold justice and clear Jiang Cheng's name."
