Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 173 Life-saving kindness ([-])

The Wu Yi tribe has lived in caves in Yunming Valley for generations. In order to cover up their traces, the tribe set up a barrier formation at the entrance of the cave on the mountainside so that few outsiders could enter.

There are five elders in the Wu Medical Clan, and they are divided into two factions. One faction specializes in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and is called the "Xuanzhen Sect".The other school studies the art of rejuvenation and is called the "Miaoji School".In terms of seniority, Tang Zhiyao is the second disciple of Miaoji Sect No. 40, Ninth Generation.

Tang Zhiyao's daily routine was to collect medicine, practice, and refine medicine, and the cycle continued until the second day of July four years ago.

The elder of the Wuyi clan is old and his end is approaching. According to the centuries-old rules of the clan, five people from the eighth generation disciples of No. 40 should be selected to succeed him.

During the Wuzhou Rebellion 20 years ago, all the people sent by the Wu Medical Clan were eighth-generation disciples of No. 40, headed by senior brother Tang Fan.

The Miaoji sect only treats illnesses and saves people, while the Xuanzhen sect is proficient in the art of marching and forming formations, but is not good at martial arts.Moreover, there were only two thousand garrison troops left in Wuzhou City at that time. How could they resist the fifty thousand cavalry of the Southern Kingdom?
In the end, Tang Fan had no choice but to set up a bloody formation at the gate of Wuzhou City. Ten disciples of the Wu Medical Clan resisted with their bodies. They delayed for three days before reinforcements arrived.

Wuzhou City was saved, but after this battle, all the disciples in the formation died of anger, and the Wu Medical Clan was seriously injured, and they did not show up again for 20 years.

There are only a few members of the Wuyi clan, and they only adopt orphans under the age of two. At this time of handover, there is no successor.After three days of discussion, several elders decided to select one person from the ten ninth-generation disciples of No. 40 to fill the position. This was an opportunity that the Wu Medical Clan had not had in its hundred years of existence.

However, the disciples of Tang Zhiyao's generation were more than intelligent, but they were shackled by age and ultimately lacked experience.Therefore, the elders decided to cancel the formation and let them out of the cave to practice for half a month. Their mission was to find the snakethorn grass.

Under the arrangement of the elder, Tang Zhiyao and other fellow disciples came out of the cave separately.

The Yunming Valley stretches for hundreds of miles, with complicated and winding terrain, and only one plant of Agatha blooms every ten years. This task is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.Tang Zhiyao searched the valley for eleven days and found nothing.

Until the night of No. 12, he went deep into a dense forest and heard a faint gasp from the depths of the forest. It was a sound that overflowed from the chest, almost desperate.

At first, Tang Zhiyao thought it was a wounded beast and wanted to run away, but his compassion stopped him from leaving.When he pushed aside the grass and walked over, he found that lying on the edge of the cliff was not a beast, but a dying boy.

The young man was wearing a black brocade robe and was covered in bloodstains. His eyes were tightly closed, but his brows were still furrowed.A broken sword was held tightly in his hand, and a stream of dark red soaked the loess beneath him.If Tang Zhiyao had discovered it later, he was afraid that the smell of blood would soon attract wolves to eat the body.

And that young man was none other than Shen Yuning.

There were only three days left before the end of the training, and there was no sign of the snakethorn. Time was already very tight. Tang Zhiyao hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to save people first.

He wanted to help Shen Yuning up. Unexpectedly, he heard a rustling sound just as he started to move. After polishing the fire, he discovered that there was a group of tailed scorpions under Shen Yuning.This scorpion is easily attracted by the fragrance emitted by the snakethorn plant and is extremely poisonous. Once it is infected, unusual medicinal stones can cure it.

Fortunately, Tang Zhiyao had been prepared. After he used the powdered poison to kill all the scorpions, he followed the clues and actually found a few snakethorn plants.

After the mission was completed, he was not in a hurry to return to his cave and carried Shen Yuning to a stone cave to heal his wounds and apply medicine.

In the past two days, Shen Yuning had been completely lifeless and exhausted.Just when Tang Zhiyao thought he was really going to be unable to survive, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, moved his hands like a gust of wind, and grabbed his throat.

Tang Zhiyao grabbed Shen Yuning's arm, already scolding him bloody in his heart. How come this man is still so strong despite being seriously injured?
Shen Yuning squinted his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then let him go when he saw that he really didn't know how to do martial arts.

"Who are you? Where are you?" Shen Yuning glanced at him.

Tang Zhiyao took a few breaths, picked up the remaining herbs on the ground into a bamboo basket, and rolled his eyes at him: "This is the cave in Yunming Valley. You were about to die the night before, so I rescued you because I thought you were pitiful. I didn't expect that. , the first thing you do when you wake up is to kill your savior."

Shen Yuning looked around and saw that the bonfire was burning brightly and the vague smell of herbs floated in the air, so he said lightly: "Thank you." Tang Zhiyao calmed down and threw a white jade ring to Shen Yuning: "You s things."

Shen Yuning's cold eyes glanced at him.

Tang Zhiyao immediately felt a sense of danger: "Hey, hey, don't accuse a good person wrongly. This thing fell out of your body, I didn't take it on purpose."

When Shen Yuning looked away, he took a serious look at the young man he had saved halfway.

At that time, he didn't know Shen Yuning's identity, let alone the white jade finger ring.But his intuition told him that this person's identity might not be simple.

First, in addition to the wounds of the Tail Needle Scorpion, this person also had dozens of scars, large and small, mottled and fine.Almost all of those wounds were forced away, which was definitely not the work of ordinary bandits. Bandits did not have such accuracy.To be able to attract a group of professional killers to pursue him, such a person must have a secret.

Secondly, this person lived a beautiful life, even if he fell into such an embarrassing situation, he still remained charming.

Growing up to this age, he thought that the most handsome man in the world was undoubtedly his fifth junior brother.After all, when the fifth junior brother is meditating in the practice room, he can attract many junior sisters to squeeze in the door and watch.It turned out that this person was even more beautiful than the fifth junior brother.

He held the dog's tail grass in his mouth and circled Shen Yuning several times: "Who are you?"

Shen Yuning remained silent, his eyes cold.

Tang Zhiyao squatted on the ground, looked at him levelly, and decided to take the first step: "My name is Tang Zhiyao, and I am a disciple of the Wu Medical Clan. Have you heard of our Wu Medical Clan?"

"You are lucky. If it had been normal, no one would have known about your death in Yunming Valley. This time, we disciples of the Wu Medical Clan went out to practice acupoints, so that you could meet me, the best living Bodhisattva in the world."

Seeing that Shen Yuning still remained silent, he accepted his fate and said, "It's mysterious. That's all. Since you don't want to reveal your identity, just don't say it."

Shen Yuning endured it and stood up, holding on to the stone wall, "Your kindness will be repaid one day." He staggered a few steps, and when he stabilized, he was about to walk out of the cave.

Tang Zhiyao stepped forward quickly, stopped him from leaving, and said hurriedly: "Where are you going!"

"Go where I should go." Shen Yuning brushed him away lightly, with little strength, but with a mountain-like willpower.

Tang Zhiyao held his forehead and said, "Do you know that you have been poisoned by the sting scorpion?"

Shen Yuning paused and looked at him: "Do you have any idea?"

Tang Zhiyao said honestly: "No."

Shen Yuning was extremely calm, as if he was not the one who was poisoned.He only asked: "How long can I live?"

"If you can't cure this poison, you won't survive ten days." Tang Zhiyao sighed.
