Chasing the Immortal Road

Chapter 16 Mother She Knows
At the entrance of the village into the mountain, a beautiful young girl holds a lantern in her hand. Sometimes she sits on a boulder by the side of the road, and sometimes she walks back and forth limping with a cane. Full of haste.

The faint brilliance of the new moon could not break through the dark night like ink, nor could it dispel the haze lingering in the girl's heart.

It has been two days and still no news.

If he had known this earlier, he should have persuaded him yesterday not to let Qing Luo go up the mountain alone.

Yesterday afternoon, she was looking through medical books in the hospital, when several villagers came to seek medical treatment suddenly, she knew about the killer bees in the forest, and Song Ning came to find them.

Although she was surprised by Song Ning's sudden appearance, she did as he said and sent the news back to the capital on time.She also used a lot of money and medicines that can temporarily suppress toxins to summon the villagers to help them go up the mountain to find them.

However, the killer bees are notoriously vicious, and once they get angry, they will attack them in groups. In addition, there are wild beasts running around, and most of the villagers dare not enter rashly. Only a few hunters who are usually physically strong dare to agree to come down.

But even the brave men under the heavy reward fled back to the village in a panic this morning. Not only did they fail to find out about Qingluo, they were also chased by ferocious beasts, and now they dare not take a step further into the mountain.

Fortunately, the people from the General's Mansion have arrived. They have extraordinary skills, and with Liu Yu who is familiar with the mountains and forests leading the way, they must be able to find Qingluo!Qingluo will be fine, will be fine!
She kept praying in her heart.

Because of the relationship between her grandfather and her father, she didn't like the embroidery and piano paintings of boudoir girls since she was a child, and she only loved medical skills.In addition, her mother passed away early, her father had been blind for more than ten years, and her grandfather was exhausted both physically and mentally while practicing medicine while looking for ways to restore sight, so she inevitably neglected her growth.Therefore, from the beginning of her memory, she has no playmates, and her personality is therefore more introverted.

But five years ago, Qingluo walked into her life. She was obviously a lady who was loved by the general's mansion, but she didn't have the arrogance and scheming of many official daughters; Painted sallow, dressed as a servant, shuttled around the front hall and backyard of the medical hall.

Over the years, they memorized medicinal herbs together and assessed each other; they studied acupuncture and pharmacology together, and often pierced each other's eyes to tears; they developed small poisons together, and sent countless little mice to the sky...

Her personality was also affected by the wise and quiet girl at that time, who was sometimes carefree and silly, and gradually became cheerful and outgoing.

But now, the only close friend she has ever had is in a predicament, and her life or death is unknown. She can do nothing but wait here...

Thinking of this, her heart that had just settled down became more and more anxious, and she was about to rush into the forest with her lame leg.

At this moment, in the mountains and forests as far as the eye can see, the light of the torches came faintly, and as the torches approached, the figures of a group of people gradually appeared.

Under the intertwined red and yellow flames, she saw the petite figure surrounded by everyone at a glance.

"Qingluo! Qingluo!" She limped forward while waving excitedly.

Yun Qingluo also saw the dim yellow light not far away, and after hearing her shout, she trotted closer: "Xuanxuan! Why did you come out so late, a wounded person? It's dangerous in the forest recently!"

Looking at the excited girl in front of her, her tone was slightly reproachful, but Qing Luo was very moved. Xia Xuan must have come here to wait because she was worried about herself, but she doesn't know martial arts. What if the frightened beast from yesterday came down the mountain... ...is his own fault.

Xia Xuan threw away her crutches, checked her whole body with trembling hands, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, she let out a long sigh of relief, hugged her, pretended to be angry and said, "Qingluo, you bloody girl, why don't you just let me go?" I’m ashamed to tell you that yesterday I told you not to go up the mountain but I didn’t listen, if it wasn’t because I was worried about you, would I need to come here at night? Heartless brat!”

Thinking of leaving this friend soon, Yun Qingluo suppressed her tears and patted her on the back: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault, Xuanxuan shouldn't be worried."

"Hmph! It's good to know." Xia Xuan hugged her for a moment, then suddenly remembered that she was obviously older than Qing Luo, but she was being coaxed by her like a child at this moment, she let go of her hand, and said awkwardly.

"Hey, let's go back first, I found something good, I'll show you when I go back." She said rather mysteriously.

Then, regardless of Xia Xuan's objection, he carried her on his back and walked towards the village that was lit up with everyone.

……

General Mansion Ming and Qing Court.

"Mother, according to Dr. Xia's professional appraisal, this ginseng is all 800 years old. How about it? Am I good?"

Sitting across from her, Mrs. Li sighed softly when she saw her daughter's playful look begging for praise, touched her hair helplessly, and said earnestly, "Luoer, no matter how precious things are, they are just foreign things after all."

Seeing that her mother didn't mean to blame herself, Yun Qingluo was scratching her head, and was about to show her the copied secret technique.I heard Li continue to say:

"Luoer, can you tell mother, where exactly do you want to go? What are you going to do?"

The voice was still gentle, but the content was so startled that Yun Qingluo shrank her pupils and raised her head suddenly.

Mother, she knows!

Seeing her reaction like this, Mrs. Li sighed again and shook her head:
"Mother was only slightly suspicious at first, but with a little trick, you showed such an expression. Luoer, the world is not as dangerous as in the mansion, and people's hearts are dangerous. Now you can't hide your thoughts like this. If you really go outside, you will let me go." How can mother be relieved?"

"Mother...you are from..."

"Since your second brother left, your temperament has changed. Although you tried your best to hide it, your mother still noticed it. Later, you practiced martial arts and swords, studied medicine and medicine, and stocked money and medicine. How you look at it is all about why Prepare for things, which confirmed my conjecture.

It's just that Luo Er, you are like your second brother, you have made up your mind since you were young, and learning martial arts and medicine is only good for you, so your mother has always supported her, even this time you don't want Song Ning to go to Hualian Mountain. up.

But now, my mother regrets her original decision.In case, in case something really happens to you this time, mother will never forgive herself.

So Luo Er, can you tell mother?What exactly are you trying to find? "

"Mother, mother, I want to go out and have a look. I want to know what kind of world is beyond these few countries."

"Luoer, mother wants to hear the truth!"

"Mother." Yun Qingluo opened his mouth, unable to think of any rebuttal, and considering that he would not be able to leave quietly in the future, he confessed:
"Mother, I want to find a fairy!"

"What?" Li Shi's beautiful eyes widened, and her volume was raised a bit in shock.

"Is it because of that exercise? Luoer, your second brother must have told you that no one has ever practiced that exercise successfully. It's you, after many years, it didn't work, right?"

"Indeed not! But mother, I still want to go!" Yun Qingluo's eyes were firm.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li could only say: "Forget it, mother will not stop you, but now that the dynasty has changed from old to new, your eldest brother has not returned from suppressing bandits. Not to mention the outside, even this capital is not very safe. When everything settles down, May mother send some more people to go with you?"

"Mother—" Yun Qingluo's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and it was filled to the brim. She was so stuffy that she couldn't say a word, her eyes were sore, and she could only nod her head heavily.

Before leaving, Yun Qingluo handed over the transcribed secret technique to Li Shi, and only vaguely said that she found it when she was out. Now that she knew her plan, Li Shi didn't ask any more questions.However, after learning from Song Ning that she had lost her saber, she found someone to find one for her. Yun Qingluo did not tell the truth about this.

She didn't want to tell her mother about the Qiankun bag, saying that she was selfish or ruthless.Thinking that other people still have the chance to be reincarnated after death, but she herself will only disappear completely, she also thinks about everything more for herself.

It's just that the Qiankun bag is such a treasure that can surprise people, and it can't be more than ten centimeters away from her. Whether it's sewn on the clothes or hidden in the boots, she doesn't feel at ease, so she can only think of a way.

In the days to come, Yun Qingluo had one more task every day, which was to practice the Flowing Light Technique.

In a blink of an eye, it's time for the once-a-year stall in the Pavilion of Strange Objects again.
