"How is this possible?" She encountered the same thing as the middle-aged man. However, unlike the former, she did not have any mental preparation at all. She just stood there in a daze.
In fact, at this time, the saplings were very thin and could not stop people at all. If they wanted to break through, they would naturally be able to do so. However, it was inevitable that they would be badly injured.
"Take a step to the left and then back away." Just as Guo Sirou was shocked and did not know how to deal with it, she suddenly heard a prompt behind her. So, she did as she was told and came out of the formation.
"What is this?" She grew up in an aristocratic family and naturally had a wide range of knowledge. However, it was the first time she had seen such a mysterious thing.
"Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, treasures that have been passed down for thousands of years. I always thought that these things were antiques that were hidden deep in the hands of people. I did not expect to see them here. This is really surprising. I am now more and more curious about the identity of this young man!"
At this time, the young man that they were anxious to see was standing outside the door. When Wang Yao heard the dog barking outside the house, he knew that someone had come up the mountain again. He went out the door and saw two familiar figures.
"Miss Guo, Mr. He."
"Why do I feel awkward when you call me that? I should be slightly older than you. You can call me sister. As for this, you can call him Uncle He or Lao He," Guo Sirou said.
"Okay." Wang Yao smiled.
"This formation was set up by you?" the middle-aged man asked impatiently.
"Yes, why?" Wang Yao asked with a smile.
"Who is your teacher?"
"I read books and learned it myself," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"What?!"
Guo Sirou and the man were stunned.
"That's impossible!" the man said with a smile.
"Why?" Wang Yao asked.
The middle-aged man did not answer directly. Instead, he asked this question first, "Do you know the Book of Changes?"
"No." Wang Yao shook his head.
"What about the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams?"
"I know a little about this." Wang Yao said. He was not lying. The Five Elements Formation did mention the Five Elements. As for the Eight Trigrams, it was only mentioned slightly.
"Do you know Yin and Yang?"
"I know a little." Wang Yao's reply surprised the middle-aged man. He was not lying. The Natural Classics given by the system mentioned the Way of Yin and Yang. It was the most fundamental and mysterious thing. He had read a lot of classic Taoist scriptures these days, and many of them mentioned the Way of Yin and Yang.
"Do you know geography?"
Wang Yao shook his head. He knew that the geography that the middle-aged man was talking about was not the geography that he had learned in school. He was afraid that it was something deeper, such as geomancy.
"Based on what I know, this formation is not simple. If you want to succeed, you need to understand the Book of Changes, the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and geography. If you don't, it will only have a form. However, this formation of yours already has a spirit!" He Qisheng said, "If you really comprehended this array on your own, then you are worthy of being called a peerless genius."
Wang Yao was slightly surprised when he heard this, and he became vigilant in his heart.
As the saying goes, an ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime.
Sometimes, knowing too much might not be a good thing, especially in this society. He Qisheng in front of him was obviously very interested in this formation.
"Uncle He?" Guo Sirou coughed.
"Sorry, I was so surprised that I lost my composure!" The middle-aged man just came back to his senses.
"It's okay. I think you two didn't come here just to ask this question, right?" Wang Yao smiled.
"Well, I wonder if you can introduce us to your master?" Guo Sirou asked.
"No!" Wang Yao refused without thinking.
"Why?"
"My master doesn't see outsiders, and he is no longer in Lianshan County."
"Where did he go?" Guo Sirou hurriedly asked.
"He went to the northwest." Wang Yao's lie was getting bigger and harder to cover. In the end, he simply said that his master did not know where he went.
"Northwest?" Guo Sirou frowned.
"Miss, maybe he can help," the middle-aged man next to her reminded her softly.
"Well?" Guo Sirou looked at Wang Yao. "Can he do it?"
"It's like this. An elder in my family is in bad health, and I want to ask an expert to take a look."
"Hug …" Before Wang Yao could finish his words, he heard a prompt from the system.
Task: Special Request: Fulfill Guo Sirou's request. Reward: A pack of seeds, a prescription. Failure penalty: Any attribute reduced by one. Note: Cannot leave the mountain voluntarily.
Every single time, the System's Quest would be such a scam. Most importantly, this time, he didn't even know what illness the other party's family members were suffering from. Furthermore, they couldn't take the initiative to leave the mountain, which meant that the other party had to come to the mountain. With his current half-baked skills, he would definitely be exposed when the time came. Fortunately, there was no time limit this time!
"Well, what illness does your relative have?" Wang Yao hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Body failure, multiple organ failure," Guo Sirou said.
"What?!"
This kind of illness was extremely difficult to treat. He had been enlightened by the system once, and he had already gained some knowledge. He had also read some medical books and knew that there were many reasons for organ failure in the body. It was very complicated to analyze.
"How old is he?"
"84 years old."
So old?! Wang Yao frowned.
"I can try."
"What?!"
"Really?!"
Guo Sirou and the middle-aged man spoke at the same time, but the content was different.
"But I have something to do, and I can't leave the mountain for a while. If you want to see a doctor, can you ask your family to come to the mountain?" Wang Yao said.
"My grandfather lies in bed all day, and he can't even speak clearly now. How can he come here?" Guo Sirou smiled bitterly.
"I see. Can you show me his medical records and other information?" He didn't have to complete this task. After all, the penalty for failure was only a deduction of one attribute point. Based on his current situation, it would affect him, but it wasn't particularly big. However, if he could, he would still try his best to complete it.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you as soon as possible."
"Don't just stand there. The mountain wind is cold. Come in and have a seat." Wang Yao smiled and invited the two into the cottage.
There was a small table and a pot of tea with a faint aroma.
"Good tea!" After taking a sip of tea, Guo Sirou's eyes lit up.
"It is indeed good!" The middle-aged man sighed as he held the teacup.
The two of them were not ordinary people. It could be said that they had tasted almost all the famous tea in the country. However, today's cup of tea surprised them.
