Ning Yu comforted him: "That means there is no fate, and there is no need to force it too much."
Xiaodong nodded.
He is not so attached to that now. In the past, he paid special attention to the pendant because he felt that it was the only relic left to him by his parents. No matter what, he had to take good care of it. It had nothing to do with the value of the pendant. It was a thought, and it was his sustenance for his family.
Later, he found out that Chen Jingzhi stole it on purpose. In addition to being disappointed, he also felt extremely angry.
He stole more than just a pendant.
But things are different now.
He already knew who his parents were, and even knew... that his biological mother should still be alive. Even though they didn't have much affection between mother and child, knowing that she was alive always felt comforting in his heart.
And Mr. Wan—he's alive too.
that's enough.
Just like what the book says, it's fine for everyone to take care of themselves. You don't have to force them to be together. Mrs. Yan must have her reasons for denying him. Mr. Wan may have reasons for not recognizing him, Xiaodong understands.
He is already an adult, not a three-year-old child, who insists on crying and yelling and pestering adults.
Now that the knot in his heart has been untied, the pendant is not as important to him as it used to be.
At most... I still think about it occasionally. After all, I have worn it for many years. Once it is gone, I always feel a little empty around my neck.
The elder brother also said before that if he wants to get another pendant to wear, it may not be the same as the original one, but he must find one he likes.
But senior brother has become like this now... Well, Xiaodong has not thought about the pendant for many days.
As long as the elder brother can recover quickly, Xiaodong can do whatever he wants.
Ning Yu's complexion was not very good, and after talking for a while, Xiaodong found that his face was pale, his speech was a little weak, and his voice was low.
"Senior brother Ning? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ning Yu shook her head slightly, not even saying a word this time.
"Oh, we're not someone else, so don't meet outsiders." Xiaodong helped him into the room and lay down on the couch, and said, "I'll ask Master Hu..."
"No, no need to go." Ning Yu got up and waved his hand at him: "Don't bother Master, I have a pill here, just take one slowly."
Xiaodong was a little worried: "Really?"
"Really, if it doesn't work, it's the same if you go to my master again."
"good."
Xiaodong went to pour half a bowl of warm water, and Ning Yu took out a small bottle, his hands trembled a little, and he didn't uncork the bottle.
Xiaodong quickly took it and took the medicine for him, pulled the plug and asked, "How many pills?"
Ning Yu said weakly: "One will do."
Xiaodong poured him a pill and watched him lie down after taking the medicine.
"You too, the weather is bad today, you shouldn't go down the mountain, can't we meet each other when we go up the mountain tomorrow? But if your health is not good, you will have a hard time this whole spring, maybe you will have to lie down until summer."
He capped the bottle in his hand, the medicinal pill smelled strong, even after covering it, the medicinal smell remained on his hand.
"Senior brother Ning, this tastes different from the medicine you used to take."
Xiaodong now has some common sense. The smell of some common elixir is generally not so strong, because the elixir and gunpowder are so tempered back and forth during alchemy, many times you can't smell the smell, or the smell is very weak. The medicinal smell is so strong, it is usually a medicinal pill with strong medicinal power.
Ning Yu's health is not good, and he usually takes some warming and tonic medicines. The medicines he carried with him in the past didn't taste like this. Xiaodong still remembered this.
"Well, this recipe is newly formulated by Master..."
Xiaodong wasn't so blank, seeing that Ning Yu was struggling to speak, so he kept quiet and sat by the side to watch.
The eldest brother has been staying in his sleeve since just now, and now Ning Yu seems to have rested, so he poked his head out.
Xiaodong called softly: "Eldest brother?"
Mo Chen can't speak now, but he can smell the medicine.
His nose is much sharper now than before.
In the past, he could at most smell the main ingredients, but now he can almost judge the ingredients and auxiliary materials, and even the sequence of the process.
This medicine is not warming and nourishing, of course it also has the effect of warming and nourishing, but its main function is to expel poison.
Ning Yu was poisoned
Mo Chen came out from Xiaodong's sleeve and slowly moved to the bedside.
Xiaodong's attention was all on the elder brother.
Eldest brother, this... Well, he seems a little awkward with this qualification now.
For nothing else. Eldest brother used to walk on two feet, now... he has five claws, the frequency of walking is, well, anyway, it is different from ordinary four-legged beasts - not ugly, very smooth, the posture of the elder brother It was as natural as he was born to walk on five paws.
Xiaodong thought, if he suddenly changed into a completely different appearance, let alone five legs, he would not know how to move even with four legs.
A big brother is a big brother, he can do what others can't.
hey-hey.
Mo Chen put a paw lightly on Ning Yu's wrist, took it off after a while, and carefully observed Ning Yu's complexion.
The breath he exhaled was stale, which was obviously wrong.
Ning Yu was poisoned.
How did he get poisoned in Tianji Mountain
Because of Ning Yu's poor health, she rarely had contact with outsiders, and always lived in seclusion. He is also very careful about his diet and daily life. He even doesn't even go out when the weather is cold or hot because he is afraid of getting sick. It can be said that everything that Ning Yu imports must be carefully selected. In this case, it is difficult for him to be poisoned in ten thousand years.
But he was poisoned.
it's really...
Mo Chen shook his head.
There is no doubt about Hu Zhenren's ability, he values Ning Yu, and pities Ning Yu's natural frailty, so he is too partial to this apprentice.
Perhaps Master Hu felt that Ning Yu would not be able to inherit the Banshan Hall in the future, and that his life would be more comfortable without arousing the envy of others.
But things are not as he thought. His preference for Ning Yu may be the reason why Ning Yu was poisoned. Whether it is to get rid of Ning Yu and replace him, or to blackmail Master Hu into something, it is not surprising that others will focus on Ning Yu.
Tianji Mountain has reached this stage, and the same sect is already at stake. To be honest, even if it is not divided on the surface, it is actually torn apart.
So what they heard on the road shouldn't be all rumors.
If Tianji Mountain is safe and sound, they will not be ignorant of the rumors spreading outside, and they will not let it go. The rumors spread so far and are so true, which in itself shows that Tianji Mountain has lost control of this matter.
Mo Chen took a deep breath.
He couldn't tell where the hidden worry in his heart came from, but in these years, one after another was full of bad news, and one sect after another died. Of course, there is also the handwriting of the Demon Dao, but some of the small movements of the Demon Dao, compared with the battle of killing demons that Master mentioned decades ago, seem to be insignificant at all. noisy.
The spiritual veins in this land are gradually cut off, and the spiritual energy dissipates. Like Master and the others, outstanding talents are still as bright as stars, and counting forward, countless geniuses have been born out of nowhere. But in their generation, how many young heroes can really be counted
This road seems to be gradually declining.
How many years have there been no one who has attained Taoism? It seems that it has become a legend, and everyone has accepted their fate, step by step to a dead end.
It is precisely because of the hopelessness of ascension that they value worldly things more, desire for money, desire for power, desire for sex...
Just like what happened in Tianji Mountain now, how is it different from ordinary people
It's like a vicious cycle, the source of the water is blocked, so the water in the pool becomes shallower and more turbid, and the fish in the pool no longer want to jump over the dragon's gate, which is impossible anyway Instead, he began to frantically want to kill other fish in the pond.
What is the reason why the spiritual energy is getting thinner and even the spiritual vein is cut off
Hearing the movement outside, Mo Chen went back into Xiaodong's sleeve again.
The door of the outer room was pushed open, and Li Fulin and Hu Zhenren walked in.
Xiaodong rushed to meet him, first saluted Hu Zhenren, and then told about Ning Yu's situation.
"Senior brother Ning fell asleep after taking the medicine..."
Xiaodong was a little uneasy.
According to him, Ning Yu's situation is much worse than when we met last time, at least he was weak and in good spirits at that time. But looking at it now, Ning Yu's situation was not a little bit worse, it was as if someone had sucked his energy away, and what was left was a lingering broken skin.
Master Hu looked at his disciple lying there motionless, with a calm expression on his face.
Anger, doubt, hatred, sadness... He's been through it all, and it doesn't help. He knew that Ning Yu would encounter these things because of his own preference. Not only people outside the Banshan Hall have long been dissatisfied with this, but even some people in the Banshan Hall are also indignant.
This also made Hu Zhenren make up his mind.
"It seems that it is not convenient for you to go back to the mountain tonight."
Hu Zhenren didn't care too much: "It doesn't matter, I will disturb you all night."
Anyway, Fengsui City relies on Tianji Mountain for food, so it would never dare to neglect these high-level people on the mountain. Hu Zhenren wants to rest here for a while, the innkeeper can't wait to free up his bed for an expert to live in, maybe it can make his family feel immortal.
But this is not important, the important thing is: "If you don't go back, it doesn't matter on the mountain?"
The situation in Tianji Mountain is really changing in an instant, let alone a night, even an hour can cause a big change.
"It doesn't matter whether I go back or not. I have placed my other disciples, like Chen Man'er and Li Qing, for them. Others... just do whatever you like."
Xiaodong couldn't help opening his eyes wide after hearing this.
Hu Zhenren's meaning sounds as if he doesn't plan to go back after he comes out.
Ji Zheng reminded me coldly: "Since you came, there were people watching from the front and back of the inn secretly—I counted them, and there were eight of them. Is it because they are afraid that you will run away or wait for you to run away?"
Hu Zhenren's smile was also very cold: "It's just them? I didn't care about it in the past because of my classmates." If he really wanted to care about it, he wouldn't care about eighty, let alone eight. (to be continued)
