130. Chapter 130 13 Adventures at the Valley Bottom
In the past, when I read Jin Lao's novels, the male protagonist always met a divine creature by some chance and coincidence, and under its guidance, learned a superb martial arts.
For example, Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" encountered the divine eagle and learned the swordsmanship of Dugu Qiufeng;
For example, Zhang Wuji in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer" met a white ape after falling into a cliff, and obtained the "Nine Yang Manual" lost in martial arts from its belly. He became the youngest leader of Mingjiao, and his martial arts reached its peak.
.
Of course, after Xiaoxue and Shiro fell into the deep valley, they encountered neither the divine eagle nor the white ape, nor did they learn the superb martial arts from Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji.
However, Xiaoxue is still grateful for God's favor on her, because deep in the bamboo forest at the bottom of the valley, there is a small bamboo house hidden. The bookshelf in one of the rooms in the house is filled with various medical books, which are treasures that have long been lost among the people.
There are so many types of books that even the collection of books in the 'Yaowang Valley' was not as much as one-tenth of the collection here.
However, at this time, everything in the house was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the corners of the walls were covered with spider webs. This showed that someone had lived here before, but the person who lives here now died.
Whether he left or left is unknown.
Xiaoxue found a letter in the secret cabinet on the bookshelf. The date was signed twenty-five years ago. The letter told the life of the owner of this small bamboo house.
***
The person who wrote this letter is called Lu Tianhe. He was once a rare medical wizard. He was born in Xixia. His superb medical skills and his compassionate heart won the respect and love of the people of Xixia.
However, it was precisely because of his superb medical skills that he and his family suffered unforeseen disasters.
One day, in the Snowy Valley of Western Xia, he discovered a poison that could be mixed into the air after being refined into water. It was colorless and odorless, and could make people's hands sore and feet weak and unable to move in a moment. Even with martial arts
No matter how tall a person is, under the influence of this potion, they can only help themselves.
Because after taking traditional Chinese medicine, he would burst into tears and his whole body would be sore and weak, so he named the medicine "Sorrowful Breeze".
He is a person who likes to study medical skills and various poisons. In his opinion, only those who are proficient in both medical skills and poison skills can truly save people from fire and water. As for the use of poison skills, he can only see
Are the people who use poison intentional? Because sometimes poison can be the key to saving lives. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "fighting poison with poison".
This potion was quickly learned by the Xixia royal family at that time. Xixia had always had the ambition to dominate the world, but there was another Liao Kingdom in the world that was several times more powerful than them, so they had always been able to bow to it.
If this potion is obtained and spread on the battlefield, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful, making the Xixia army invincible and invincible.
They found Lu Tianhe and threatened him with the lives of his family members to hand over the poison. Lu Tianhe was not a fool. He knew very well what serious disasters this drug would cause once it was used on the battlefield. But seeing that his family's lives were in danger, he
In desperation, I had to hand over the formula of the medicine.
In exchange for the lives of his family members. Unexpectedly, the cruel and ruthless Xixia royal family, after obtaining the formula, not only did not release his family members, but also killed them all and ordered others to kill him and silence him. Because they were afraid that this medicine would spread to the outside world.
It loses its only weapon for dominance.
Fortunately, a palace maid who had been rescued by him accidentally learned of the Xixia people's plot to kill him, and risked her life to inform him, so that he escaped death. However, he was hunted all the way and fled into the Liao Kingdom.
He was rescued by Yelu Yi, the then King of Beiyuan of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Xiu's father, and was brought back to the Beiyuan Palace.
As luck would have it, a few months later, Princess Beiyuan had a difficult delivery, and it was difficult to save both the adult and the child. When all the imperial doctors were at their wits' end, he used his medical skills to save Princess Beiyuan, and the mother and child were safe.
After recuperating in the Beiyuan Palace for a while, he decided to leave. Yeluyi did not persuade him to stay, but gave him a large sum of money to cover his travel expenses. In order to thank Yeluyi for his kindness, he left a letter
The letter left behind the antidote formula for the 'Sorrowful Breeze' poison, and asked Yelu Yiwan in the letter not to use this drug on the battlefield, otherwise all lives will be destroyed!
Yeluyi remembered the life-saving grace he had given to his wife and children, and kept his promise and did not leak the "Sorrowful Breeze". Of course, because he had received his warning and had the antidote, the Xixia Kingdom's conspiracy to destroy the Liao Dynasty was also
Couldn't succeed.
The formula of 'Sorrowful Breeze' has been kept in the Beiyuan Palace, and no one except Yeluyi and Brother Yeluxiu knows about it.
After leaving the "Beiyuan Prince's Mansion", he felt that the world was vast and there was no place to stay. The person who was chasing him appeared again, and finally forced him to jump off the cliff!
After falling off the cliff, he survived and saw that the cliff was as beautiful as a fairyland, so he decided to spend the rest of his life here. Fortunately, there were various fruits growing under the cliff, as well as many small animals, and there were even fish in the stream.
Son, survival was not a problem at all. It took him several years to finally find a way out of the valley and come to the outside world.
At this time, the Song Dynasty had been established and the world was at peace. He used the money Yeluyi gave him to buy a lot of things, built this small bamboo house, and placed all the medical books he had collected over the years here.
Three years ago, he fell seriously ill and knew that he would not live long, so he wrote all the past events in a letter and left the recipe of 'Sorrowful Breeze' in the letter. He hoped that one day, someone would come here by chance and see
This letter, and inherit what I have learned throughout my life.
He was also afraid that the people who came here were people with evil intentions, so he ingeniously placed the letter and some important formulas in a secret cabinet. Unless someone had a strong interest in medicine and was very careful, he would never have discovered the secret cabinet.
exists.

Xiaoxue and Shiro fell into the bottom of the valley, which can be said to be accidental or providential.
It's said to be accidental because if the silver-faced man hadn't shot and injured the eagle, the two of them would not have fallen to the bottom.
It is said to be God's will, because the man who once lived in seclusion in this valley was the discoverer of the 'Blessed Breeze' and also left behind the antidote formula. Xiaoxue also learned from his letter how Brother Yeluxiu obtained the 'Blessed Breeze'
'of.
It is not difficult to prepare the antidote. The miracle doctor planted a lot of herbs in the valley, including many of the raw materials for preparing the 'Sorrowful Breeze'. Although no one has taken care of it for many years, the survivability of these herbs is extraordinary.
In addition, the climate in this valley is excellent, so even if no one takes care of it, it can still survive vigorously.
As for other things, there was no shortage of them in the bamboo house. Xiaoxue, who had knowledge of herbal medicine, quickly prepared the antidote. This also required patience with the teachings Luo's daughter gave her back then, so it might as well be said that Xiaoxue saved Shiro's life.
It was said that Luo's daughter saved him.
The only thing that worries Xiaoxue is the medicine that Brother Yeluxiu said was added to the 'Sorrowful Breeze'. She still can't figure out what it is? Therefore, even if the poison of 'Sorrowful Breeze' is removed from Shiro's body,
Even though he acted normally, she was still worried about the onset of another poison in his body. Her blood had now lost its effectiveness and could no longer detoxify Shiro's poison.
Compared to her worries, Shiro was more open-minded and just said with a faint smile: How happy is life, how painful is death.
When arranging materials, Xiaoxue found a white skeleton in a house behind the bamboo house. From the appearance, it was a male, about sixty years old. She was sure at a glance that this must be the Lu Tianhe mentioned in the letter.
This valley was sparsely populated, and everything in the hut showed that no one had ever been here before them. Therefore, apart from the fact that this corpse belonged to Lu Tianhe, she did not think twice about it.
After Shiro recovered, he and Xiaoxue found a hoe and other items, dug a pit in the yard, and prepared to bury Lu Tianhe. When moving the bones, a small box fell from the hands of the bones and fell to the ground. Neither of them noticed it.
After the last handful of soil fell, the two of them knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Shiro finished kowtowing and was about to get up when he suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, rolling around! The painful and ferocious expression on his face was exactly the same as before he fell to the bottom that day.
"Brother Shiro! Brother Shiro!" Xiaoxue hurriedly went to pull him, but Shiro was so strong that he pushed her to the ground! He was like a wild beast, his eyes were red, and he rushed over and grabbed her neck! Xiaoxue Deng
She felt breathless, but Shiro's eyes were scattered, which meant that he had completely lost his mind and could not hear her voice at all. In desperation, she had no choice but to stab his sleeping point with a silver needle to stop his madness.
!
Xiaoxue caressed her neck. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been strangled to death by Shiro. She looked at Shiro who was unconscious on the ground, with lingering fear in her heart. She couldn't help but curse: "Brother Yeluxiu, you turtle bastard!"
Brother Yelvxiu, who was looking for a way into the valley, sneezed twice in response. He looked around and found it strange that there was no wind. How could he sneeze for no reason?
