Brahma Temple is in chaos, and Huineng and many of his disciples have been poisoned. Sun Niuma's poison powder is prepared from more than a dozen extremely poisonous substances. Without a symptomatic antidote, a person with strong skills will die within two days.
On the official road, a fast horse was galloping, raising clouds of dust. In the afternoon, we stopped at a roadside teahouse.
Huiming, a disciple of Brahma Temple, jumped off his horse, walked into the teahouse, paid some loose silver, urged the waiter to hurry up, and then sat under the pavilion on the roadside to wait.
On the table opposite Huiming, there were several dark burly men sitting, some of them wearing bamboo hats, and the rest had square scarves on their heads. A man with a bumpy face, as if he just had chickenpox, looked at the baggage on Huiming's back, whispered a few words to the people next to him, paid for the tea, and walked out of the teahouse.
Huiming asked the storekeeper to feed the horse some fodder. He had to go on his way soon. The storekeeper agreed, took the horse to the back of the house and added some fodder to the horse.
When Huiming quenches his thirst, the horse has almost eaten. Huiming got on his horse, shouted, and disappeared at the end of the road.
The road ahead became narrower and gradually began to get steeper. Huiming knew that we were almost there.
Just when he was thinking about inviting the King of Medicine as soon as possible and going back to detoxify his brothers, suddenly there was a shout from the woods, and forty or fifty people jumped out and blocked the way.
Huiming asked in surprise: "Who is it? Why are you blocking my way?"
A short man smiled: "Haha, little brother, we brothers are kings here. , I don’t want to hurt anyone’s life, I just want money. I’ll leave your baggage and silver without delaying your journey.”
Huiming knew that he had encountered a bandit, so he took out five taels of silver from his pocket. Throwing it over: "Let's use it as money to buy money!"
Several bandits laughed: "Do you think we are beggars?"
Huiming asked, feeling unhappy.
"What do you want?"
The bandits laughed wildly.
"Keep all the money you have, and I will spare your life!"
Huiming was furious.
"I don't know whether to live or die! If you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink it as a penalty!"
He jumped up from the horse, with the iron rod on his back already in his hand, and hit him on the head and face.
Suddenly there were shouts of killing and a fight broke out on the mountain path.
People often say that a hero is difficult to defeat with four hands, let alone forty or fifty people. Within an hour, Huiming was taken into the stronghold and locked in a dungeon.
This village is located in the middle of the mountain, with paths winding around it. The cottage does not have a heavy gate, which is custom-made from a few logs. There is a yard inside the gate, and behind it is the hall where they gather. There are alleys on both sides of the hall, and at the end of the alleys is the dungeon. The dungeon is also covered with wooden fences and guarded by two sturdy men.
By midnight, Huiming was already anxious. He held his hands on the wooden fenceOn the cell door of the bar, luck was in the arm. With a muffled groan, the cell door was torn apart.
He quietly walked along the steps to the entrance of the dungeon, and saw two bandits standing with knives, chatting. Huiming suddenly dodged and broke their necks. Then he found the stable and took the horse out.
He walked to the entrance of the cottage, killed the two thieves guarding the door, got on his horse, and galloped away.
When the sun came out, Huiming had already arrived at a bamboo forest. Although the bamboos were sparse, they were also very lush.
There is a narrow dirt road in the middle of the bamboo forest, only allowed for one person to walk. There are nameless wild flowers on both sides of the road. It is blooming brilliantly, and the rich fragrance makes people feel dizzy.
At the end of the road is a low thatched house, surrounded by walls made of adobe. The roof is covered with thick thatch, which has been hanging down, covering the door that is not very wide. Narrow. There are bamboos all around the thatched house, which is very cool.
Huiming chose a thick bamboo, tied the horse, walked to the door of the thatched cottage, and knocked lightly on the door.
An old voice came from inside the house: "Who is it?"
Huiming bowed to the door: "Huiming of Brahma Temple, Master Yuan Zhi sent his disciples to visit !”
Hearing a few footsteps, the door creaked open.
An old man with white beard and hair, a little hunched back, and dressed in lean clothes came out, carrying a big gourd on his back at all times. Eyes narrowed into slits.
Huiming felt confused, was this the King of Medicine? His body was half cold.
The old man coughed twice.
"Where are you from?"
Huiming reluctantly raised his hand.
"Huiming of Brahma Temple, on the orders of his master Yuanzhi, came here to pay homage to Mr. Medicine King!"
"Yuanzhi!" The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, "This The old thing is quite strong and is not dead yet!"
Huiming suddenly felt angry and was about to explode when he suddenly remembered his master's instructions and could only suppress his anger.
"The Brahma Temple has been poisoned by gangsters. Many disciples are in danger. Please go away quickly!"
The old man smiled.
"No hurry, no hurry, wait until I take a nap before leaving."
Huineng couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "God has the virtue of good life. , now I, a disciple of the Buddha, is suffering in pain, looking forward to the antidote, but the master wants to sleep, treating life as nothing!”

The old man ignored him and just walked into the room.
"If you are in a hurry, just leave first!"
Huiming had no choice but to stand under the eaves and wait for the Medicine King to wake up.
At this time, a boy saw that Huiming was still standing, so he walked byCome.
"Sir, my master said that you should leave first. Just leave. You don't have to wait here. I won't miss your family's affairs!"
What else did Huiming want to say? , was stopped by the boy waving his hand.
The boy turned his head.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Huiming led the horse and slowly left the thatched house listlessly. The task assigned by the master has not been completed, and the brothers in Brahma Temple are still waiting for him to invite the King of Medicine back.
After all the hardships, but this is the case, Huiming feels very melancholy.
After walking for a while, he thought, there was no way he could do business when he returned. So he returned to the thatched cottage.
This time he behaved well and just waited quietly in front of the door, waiting for Yao Wang to wake up from his lunch break.
The sun slowly set, and night quietly enveloped the thatched cottage deep in the bamboo forest.
Is it possible that this old man has to sleep continuously during the day and night? Huineng became anxious again.
He kept pacing back and forth.
The door suddenly opened.
Huiming thought to himself, old man, you finally woke up.
Just as he was about to step forward to ask questions, he saw the boy.
"Hello! Are you awake, old man?"
Huiming suppressed his anger.
The boy also opened his eyes strangely.
"Hey, why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to leave?"
Huiming blushed.
"If I go back like this, I can't explain it to Master!"
The boy covered his mouth and laughed.
"You are such an honest person. Master asked you to leave, but he has already gone, and you are still standing here stupidly."
Gone? Huiming didn't expect that this medicine king would just say that he couldn't cure the disease. I stayed at home and slept all day, and now I’m telling such a big lie.
Huiming then thought again, since Master sent him here, he might have some means, but he is too arrogant!
Thinking of this, Huiming had no choice but to swallow her anger and laugh along with her.
"Brother, don't be joking. I haven't left here, so I haven't seen the King of Medicine leave."
The boy rolled his eyes at Huiming.
"I don't believe you, but I'm telling you, if you're dawdling like this, maybe my master will come back for treatment before you even leave!"
As he said that, he turned around and asked again. Entering the room, I muttered to myself: I was burning in my heart, but I didn't dare to vent it. It seems that Master is right. Although he is impatient, he is also an honest person.
Huiming opened her eyes in surprise. This Medicine King was really not an ordinary person. He could know what he was thinking even when he was sleeping at home. It seems that what this boy said may be true, and the Medicine King may have really goneBrahma Temple.
Huiming thought about it and did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly got on his horse.
Unexpectedly, the horse was just shaking its head, snoring, and spinning in circles. No matter how much he pulled at the reins, he never took a step forward.
The boy stood at the door, laughing again.
"That horse may not be used to the scent of wild flowers on the roadside. You'd better come down and lead it out of the bamboo forest and ride it!"
Huiming dismounted doubtfully and knocked on his horse. The reins go forward. The horse was indeed much better behaved. It followed Huiming and walked smoothly step by step. He just kept snoring and his head shook from time to time.
I only heard the boy shouting from behind.
"Don't touch the wild flowers on the roadside, otherwise you won't be able to sleep here for three to five days."
After hearing the boy's words, Huiming did not dare to be presumptuous. After walking out of the bamboo forest, I got on my horse.
The horse was also strange. After leaving the bamboo forest, it galloped away.
