The small medicine slot is used to hold medicine, and if necessary, a small roll of paper can also be placed in it.
By touching the groove with your finger, you can apply the medicine in the small medicine trough to the medical knife without anyone noticing.
Xue Li had sharp senses and deft fingers, and it didn't take her long to figure out the principle. She laid out all the problematic medical instruments in a row, the number of which was staggering.
Xue Li and Xun Wang looked at the row of problematic medical instruments in front of them and both fell silent.
After a long while, Xun Wangfang said, "This is not what I prepared."
"I know."
Sydney answered.
If it was really Junior Uncle who tampered with the medical instruments in order to cheat, he would never have taken the initiative to show her the medical instruments without any precautions.
But it was fortunate that they discovered it in the tea room when they were alone. If this mechanism was discovered directly at the Xinglin Conference, or if there were other untrustworthy people at the scene, Junior Master would have no way of defending himself and would not be able to explain himself.
Xue Li asked, "Master Junior, can you think of when these medical knives were tampered with? And do you have any clues about who tampered with them?"
"… No."
Junior Master thought hard and frowned.
He seldom left the mountain where he lived, and spent the whole day practicing. Not to mention having any clue about the person who did something wrong, he didn't think he had any enemies with anyone.
Junior Master said: "I have kept these medical tools in the peak for a long time. They are not moved at all, so it is difficult to estimate the exact time. As for this commonly used... Xue Li, can you hand it over to me for a look?"
Xue Li handed the medical knife to the junior master.
Junior Master took the medical knife in his hand and weighed it, then frowned and said, "... The weight is different."
They, the medical practitioners, have to hold a knife in their daily practice and are very sensitive to the tools in their hands. Treating injuries and illnesses is a delicate job. The junior master uncle was able to practice to the same level as the senior master uncle at the age of 20, so it is natural that he could not be careless in such matters.
He said, "But the appearance is the same as before. When I went to the Xinglin meeting this morning, the medical knife should have been fine. But such a slight difference in weight, if you don't think about it specifically, you probably won't notice it normally."
Xue Li said: "So, this medical knife was most likely tampered with or replaced after today's final test... Uncle, did you leave your medical box today?"
Xun Wang frowned and thought.
Although medical practitioners always carry a medical box with them when they go out, it is a heavy item after all, and it may be placed anywhere for a while. Moreover, Xun Wang went back to Zhufeng before looking for Xueli today, and he did not have the medical box with him at that time. Although he and his master live in seclusion, there are often outer disciples and boys coming to Zhufeng to deliver things or clean. There are quite a few people coming and going, and it is not a monolithic entity... Thinking about it now, there are really loopholes everywhere and problems can occur anywhere.
Moreover, this was only the medical knife he carried with him. Judging from the number of the remaining medical tools he collected, it was impossible for them to be replaced and modified all at once. It would definitely not be a one-day job.
Moreover, he did not use these medical instruments that often. Even if he discovered in time that there was a problem with the medical knife he often used, as long as he did not think carefully and directly replaced it with a set from his collection, there was a high possibility that there would still be a problem.
If he really brought these medical instruments to the Xinglin Society, the consequences would be disastrous.
Junior Master Shu was immediately terrified. He immediately stood up and said, "I will take these medical tools to the main peak and report to the chief peak master!"
Having said that, Junior Master Uncle began to pack up his things seriously.
"etc!"
This time it was Xue Li who stopped the junior master.
She said, "Uncle Master, you can't go like this, right? Just like you just told me, words are not enough. Although your medical knife has been replaced, no one knows who replaced it. The final exam of the Xinglin Association has just ended. Except for you, no one knows whether the medical knife you used in the final exam of the Xinglin Association is a normal one. If you hand it in now, you might be suspected of thief crying "stop thief". "
Upon hearing this, Junior Master Uncle indeed hesitated and stopped moving.
He said: "I have never used Wanlingcao in the final test. This kind of thing will be known once it is tested."
"You don't need to use the herb."
Xue Li didn't understand the twists and turns of the world, but she repeatedly thought about what her junior master-master had told her, and she actually came up with some ideas. However, these ideas made her feel a little scary and made her feel cold all over.
Xue Li drew inferences from one example and said, "Even if you didn't bring these medical tools to the Xinglin Conference, even if you participated in the competition normally, as long as someone finds even one of the medical tools with mechanisms in your possession, you won't be able to explain yourself. Because you can't explain what you used these medical tools for, and others will only suspect whether you have secretly used them at the Xinglin Conference. As long as there is even one, it will look like you have the intention to cheat."
If such a situation really happened, even if there was no conclusive evidence that Junior Master-Uncle had used it, in order to protect the reputation of the Xinglin Society, the Peak Master would invalidate Junior Master-Uncle's achievements. He would also probably be involved in gossip and rumors, ruining his reputation.
The junior master's face gradually became solemn as he looked at the row of dirty medical instruments in front of him.
The two people in the tea room were very quiet, but even without words, they both knew that the other must be thinking of the same thing.
The current situation is very similar to Lin Shao’s situation back then.
Xue Li asked, "Master Junior, the person who tampered with your medical instruments, could it be that he is the same person who framed my aunt at that time..."
Junior Master's face looked heavy, and he said nothing for a long while.
After a long time, he said, "It's very likely."
Xue Li said, "So what should we do now? We definitely can't keep these medical instruments, but it doesn't seem right to deal with them anyway, and it's easy to leave a handle behind."
Junior Uncle Master said solemnly: "When you go back, immediately check your own medical tools... No, in addition to medical tools, you should also check all the places where things can be placed. My sister was given many letters with her forged medical skills. If someone really wants to deal with you and me, they may not use the same method."
Xueli nodded seriously.
Xue Li herself is not afraid that someone might have bad intentions towards her. After all, this is the mortal world, she is an immortal, and she behaves honestly and openly in her life. Xue Li does not think that anyone can cause her serious harm.
However, if this matter concerns her aunt, Xue Li naturally hopes to catch the culprit and find out the truth. If all goes well, she may be able to find a way to redress her aunt.
Xueli thought for a moment and said, "Master Junior, I have an idea, but I wonder if it's feasible."
Xun Wang looked at her doubtfully and said, "You tell me."
Xue Li said, "If the person who designed this is the same person who framed my aunt before, then they have already taken the first step, and there is no way they will not take the second step. They have already placed the tampered medical knife with you, and my side may not be safe either. They will definitely want to see the result and will not fail to close the net. In this case, we might as well take advantage of their tricks."
…
At the same time, in the Thousand Peaks to the east of Xinglin Peak, the peak where the master lived.
This mountain is located in the most prosperous place in the east, with bustling voices and immortal carriages everywhere. Although the residences are owned by mortals, the pavilions and towers have the spirit of immortal palaces, with jade railings and red walls, and disciples coming and going and laughing, it is very lively.
The master uncle was in his residence at this time.
He had bid farewell to his master many years ago and set up his own sect. Now the medical office, study, medicine storehouse, etc. in his residence were all his personal property. He had a good reputation in Xinglin Peak. The younger disciples and outer sect boys were all willing to visit his peak. But although it was bustling outside at this time, it was quiet and a little lonely inside the peak.
The master sat in the empty hall of Huaya. The bright and cold floor was so clean that it could reflect a person's shadow. His eyes were sharp, like an old eagle, with a hint of vicissitudes of life.
At this time, a man leisurely walked into the master's room. He had his hands in his sleeves and looked a little sloppy.
The master uncle asked, "You are here with your father this year too?"
"Yes, that old man is so noisy, he keeps mumbling all the time."
The man replied with a grin.
He was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, but looked younger than his actual age. If someone who was present at the time was there, they would definitely recognize him as the son of the Taoist leader who had identified Lin Shao fifteen years ago.
He said, "I have already read the letter about why you asked me to come. I have been in the Xinglin Society for some time and I know everything."
Master Bo paused and asked, "Can you do it this time?"
"Don't worry! It's absolutely safe."
The clan leader's son waved his hand and patted his chest.
"If I can't do this well, why would I stay in the Taoist sect? It's just to make someone withdraw from the Xinglin Society. No matter if she is a deity or something else, it has already been successful once, so there will be no problem!"
The master uncle seemed to be relieved: "Thank you very much."
"Between you and me, why bother saying thank you!"
The clan leader's son swore solemnly.
"Don't worry, Doctor. When I fell off a cliff, even my father thought I was hopeless and left. If you hadn't passed by and used medicinal herbs to save me, I would have died long ago. How could I be here today? From then on, no matter what others think, in my heart, you are the undisputed number one doctor in the world. Even if Hua Tuo is reborn or a god descends from the sky, you can never replace me. If anyone else wants to replace you, I will be the first to stop them!"
When Master Uncle heard him say this, he seemed to recall the past and couldn't help but lower his eyes.
He said, "You don't have to worry about it. It's natural for doctors to practice medicine and save lives. I didn't think too much about it at the time."
"A drop of water should be repaid with a spring, let alone the kindness of saving a life!"
The clan leader's son said firmly.
"Doctor, I'll take care of this matter. Just wait and see."
The master uncle said: "Thank you very much, Young Master."
The two men bowed to each other, but the clan leader's son soon became confident and left in a swagger.
Not long after he left, Master Uncle was the only one left in the hall.
He sat in silence for a while, then poured himself another cup of tea and held the cup silently in his hands.
The tea has gone cold.
The master uncle's deep and calm eyes responded to the swaying tea, and he did not move for a long while.
…
When Xinglin Club reached the final stage, the contestants had more time because the preparation time between each competition became longer.
After Xue Li came back from her junior master's uncle, she continued to practice medical skills and consolidate her basic skills step by step the next day.
In Xueli's guest house, there were still many young disciples who came to see her secretly. As her reputation in the Xinglin Conference grew, and the possibility of winning the championship became higher and higher, more and more disciples gathered in Xueli's yard. In addition to those who were curious about her fairy identity and rumored appearance at the beginning, there were now many more disciples who were curious about her medical skills and wanted to learn basic skills from her.
Xue Li's style is in line with that of Fairy Shao Yin, so she naturally would not refuse disciples who want to practice with her. As a result, more and more people gathered here, and Xue Li's yard has become the most popular place for practice in the entire Xinglin Peak. Many young disciples get up early and stay up late just to reserve a spot in Xue Li's yard in advance.
What's more, today, it was Xue Li who took the initiative to say that everyone could come to her courtyard to practice. She also specially tidied up the courtyard to make it more spacious so that more people could sit, so the situation was more lively than usual.
Xue Li looked at the crowded scene in front of her and felt dazed.
These days, she also heard a lot about her aunt's past from her junior uncle.
It is said that my aunt had made a name for herself in Xinglin Peak, but before she was driven out of Xinglin Peak, she was very popular among fellow disciples and even outer disciples. She was often surrounded by others before and after class, and many people liked to ask her questions.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Xue Li couldn't help but wonder if her current situation was somewhat similar to that of her aunt back then
However, Xue Li had never witnessed her aunt's splendor in those days, and her aunt is not here now. Xue Li can only try her best to do what she can.
She patiently performed the basic exercises step by step every day.
The young disciples sitting in the front row were looking at her expectantly. Ah Jin was of course the closest to Xue Li. She would glance at Xue Li from time to time and happily pick the grass leaves in her hand.
At first, Xue Li just sat with everyone to practice as usual, but after spending such a long time together, these young disciples became more familiar with her than before and were naturally less afraid.
So after a while, someone couldn't wait and asked curiously, "Fairy Xueli! We all went to watch your competition at the Xinglin Conference. The magic you used at the Xinglin Conference looked so powerful! Can you demonstrate it again here?"
The author has something to say: I worked hard to update today.
