Chapter 7, Accident
Suddenly, the door of the siblings' room was violently pushed open, and Lin Chengze rushed out, his face showing an expression of urgent distress. Upon seeing Jue Da, he ran up and cried out: "Uncle Liang, something is wrong! This morning when I woke up, I found that my sister, she, she, she seems to have a high fever! She has been talking nonsense and is drenched in sweat. I don't know what is happening! Yesterday, sob, yesterday she was perfectly fine! Uncle Liang, please save my sister, you must save my sister! She has been talking nonsense and is drenched in sweat, I don't know what is happening! Yesterday, sob, yesterday she was perfectly fine! Uncle Liang, please save my sister, you must save my sister! I beg you!"
Without waiting for Liang Bo to respond, Lin Chengze turned to Xiao Tian, pointing at him and saying: "You are too young, it would be useless for you to go! Just stay here and take care of my sister. If my sister loses even a single hair when I return, I will hold you accountable! Hmph!"
"How terrifying it is to be uneducated!" Lin Chengze scoffed again upon hearing this.
Xiao Tian looked at the note and curiously murmured, "Why does this Lingchuan Xiong look just like dogtail grass? Could it be dogtail grass?"
Xiao Tian pouted and said: "Liang Bo only knows how to make fun of me. I am a talented child who can compose poetry, how can you say I am so foolish!"
Although Lin Chengze was curious, he did not ask any questions. He bit his thumb and let a drop of blood fall onto it
Xiao Tian asked in confusion: "This little piece of paper is quite nice, so Liang Bo, could you give me one as well?"
Xiao Tian solemnly nodded: "Of course! I promised Xiao Yan that I would take care of her before her parents come to pick her up"
Jue Da chuckled: "That's right, so Brother Lin Chengze is a good boy, but he doesn't know that our Xiao Tian is also a good boy. Therefore, Xiao Tian, you need to prove to Brother Lin Chengze that you can also be a man who protects his little sister Xiao Yan together with him! Xiao Tian, do you think you can do it?"
You...! Lin Chengze did not expect that the usually mild-tempered Xiao Tian would actually retort this time, becoming furious: "My sister is well protected by me! Besides, when did my sister say she needed you to take care of her?!"
Xiao Tian forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying and said: "Master Liang, with your medical skills, handling the illness of a nobleman is a piece of cake, and treating a child like Xiao Yan is even easier, isn't it, Master Liang?"
Jue Da continued, "This talisman only recognizes the first drop of blood that falls upon it, so the two of you must stay together without a moment's separation. In the event of danger, you must bite your finger to draw blood and let a drop fall upon it. No matter what I am doing, I will be instantly pulled to this talisman!"
"Liang Bo! Does my sister (Xiao Yan) have something going on?" Xiao Tian and Lin Chengze asked in unison, their voices tinged with anxiety
Jue Da hummed and said: "Please take good care of this young girl, I will be back soon"
Lin Chengze felt a surge of emotion upon learning how precious this talisman was, and he developed a deeper sense of gratitude towards Jue Da.
"Yes, Master, please rest assured." The young monk said respectfully, bowing.
At this moment, a young monk in his teens entered and said, "Master Jue Da, I have arrived"
"Alright," Jue Da stood up and said, "There is no time to waste. Come, you two, sit on this limitless seven-treasure lotus, and we shall depart now!" After saying this, he raised a multicolored lotus platform, took the two children, and with a flash of colorful light, they disappeared from the room
Two people rushed into the room, and Jue Da was currently connecting with the acupuncture point of Xiao Yan.
At this moment, small beads of sweat dotted Xiaoyan's forehead, her complexion was deathly pale, and there were faint purple-black streaks of blood along the scar on the right side of her face
Haha! Jue Da smiled with satisfaction and said: "Come on, Xiao Tian, let's go and see Xiao Yan and Brother Lin Chengze!" After saying this, she took Xiao Tian's hand and was about to head towards the siblings' room.
Hmph! Lin Chengze disdainfully turned his head to the side
Little Tian pouted and thought for a moment: "I believe that, hmm~ having such an older brother would make Little Tian very happy!"
Nonsense! Jue Da reprimanded, "Xiao Tian, do you not know the current situation of Han Yan Valley? Xiao Ze, do you not know either? You and your sister have only just escaped a few days ago! Aside from being a burden to me, what use do you have? You are to stay here and take care of Xiao Yan properly. Within two days, Liang Bo will return."
"Master Liang, I want to go!" Lin Chengze shouted with a sobbing tone, "Master Liang, our Absolute Dust Sect has relied on poison as the foundation of our sect for generations. Although I am young, I have read quite a few books on medicinal herbs. I know where Lingchuan Xiong is planted. Please take me there, I promise I will not cause you any trouble!"
I will go too! Xiao Tian and Lin Chengze shouted in unison once again
This time you are not just going to Han Yan Valley for leisure; it concerns Xiao Yan's life and death, so you must be extremely cautious. Liang Bo took out a palm-sized talisman from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chengze, solemnly reminding him: "This is a summoning talisman; Xiao Ze, you need to drop a drop of blood on it now."
Jue Da furrowed his brows and sighed inwardly: "I was too careless; I never expected that the dagger that struck the little girl's face that day would actually be poisoned"
Even a clay figurine can ignite a spark of determination. Xiao Tianyan, with a defiant expression, declared: "I promised Xiao Yan that I would take care of her, so this time I must follow Liang Bo!" Xiao Tian deliberately emphasized the name Liang Bo.
Xiao Tian and Lin Chengze stared wide-eyed at the lingering shadows, then exchanged glances with each other. Without having time to think further, they hurriedly dashed towards Xiao Yan's room.
Oh, then I won't take it. Little Tian obediently nodded his head
"Alright, Xiaotian, come here," Jue Da beckoned to Xiaotian. "Give the pen and paper in your hand to Elder Liang. Little Ze knows what Lingchuan Xiong looks like, and Elder Liang will draw it for you now, so you won't be such a little fool and step on the Lingchuan Xiong without even knowing it."
Upon hearing this, Liang Bo laughed and scolded, saying: "You foolish boy, this talisman is a relic from the ancient times left behind by powerful beings. The method of its creation has long been lost, and after being used once, it becomes ineffective, turning into an ordinary piece of paper. Although this talisman is not unique to our Great Ming ancestral temple, it is not something that can be found in small sects. Nowadays, even some major sects are running low on them, using one less with each use."
Xiao Tian, feeling indignant, exclaimed: "Who are you to tell me what to do!"
Before finishing his sentence, Xiao Tian excitedly shouted, "Liang Bo, rest assured, I, Xiao Tian, am the most obedient child in the whole world!" After saying this, he even made a face at Lin Chengze who was standing nearby
Jue Da raised his head and looked at Lin Chengze, slowly saying: "Xiao Yan has been poisoned. It is a type of chronic poison called Blood-Eating Powder. Although this poison is rare, it is not difficult to resolve; however, one of the medicinal ingredients in the antidote is somewhat uncommon, known as Lingchuan Xiong. This Lingchuan Xiong can only be found in the southern Youzhou Han Yan Valley, which is exclusive to your Jue Chen Sect. I must go to Han Yan Valley immediately, otherwise, Xiao Yan may not survive for three days." This Lingchuan Xiong can only be found in the southern Youzhou Han Yan Valley, which is exclusive to your Jue Chen Sect. I must go to Han Yan Valley immediately, otherwise, Xiao Yan may not survive for three days.
"Ah, so that's how it is." After listening to Xiaotian's account and gaining a general understanding of the situation over the past few days, Jue Da stroked his beard and said, "Xiaotian, you are still young, and there are some things that you may not understand even if Uncle Liang tells you now. However, look at how much Xiaoyan's brother loves her and fears for her safety. How would you feel if you had a brother like that?"
"Give it to Xiaotian and keep it safe," Jue Da said solemnly as he handed the note to Xiaotian.
Liang Bo did not expect that these two little ones were so incompatible. He thought that perhaps this trip to the southern Youzhou might help eliminate the barriers between these two little fellows. With this in mind, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh and said: "Alright, Xiao Yan, I will arrange for someone from the temple to take care of you. You two should come with me, but you must listen to me along the way; otherwise, next time when we come down the mountain..."
Jue Da heard this, his figure flickered, and in an instant, he vanished before Xiao Tian and Lin Chengze, leaving only a trace of an afterimage
