"It's a unique method. Don't you know?"
"I don't know," Miao Xinhe said. "It's the biggest secret in our stockade. It should have been passed down for hundreds of years. Such a secret is only in the hands of a few people."
"Is it the core secret of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine?"
"You can understand it that way."
An 80-year-old man with a 40-year-old body, or even younger, sounded incredible. How did he do it?
"Who else has this ability besides your chief?" Xu Xinyuan asked.
"A few elders in the stockade."
"How old are they?"
"80 or 90 years old."
"Are they still healthy?"
"Very healthy," Miao Xinhe said. "It's estimated that they can live for another 30 years. At least that was how they were when I left."
That was an unexpected discovery. Health and longevity were one of the biggest wishes of almost everyone. By the time they were 80 or 90 years old, they would not be blind or deaf. They would be able to walk as if they were flying and could take care of themselves. They would not be paralyzed in bed, needing to be fed medicine, fed, and urinated. That was what many people longed for.
The stockade in the deep mountains and forests actually hid such a big secret.
"Why don't you promote it?" Miao Xinhe asked. "You said that there is only one surname in your village. The men don't marry outside women, and the women don't marry outside men. In that case, you are all real clansmen with the same blood. Isn't it better to be healthy and live a long life?"
"Well, I've heard my parents mention it before. That process may be relatively harsh and requires a large amount of precious medicinal herbs. There are also certain risks. In the past, people have died because of that process, so very few people use it."
"Oh." Xu Xinyuan nodded. In this way, the explanation made sense, but it was still very interesting.
In today's society, people with money and power had everything. As long as money was available, precious herbs were naturally not a problem.
"This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly," Xu Xinyuan thought.
"I think you should contact those friends who came out of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine and confirm if this matter has anything to do with them."
"OK, I'll contact them again," Miao Xinhe said.
"Do you have friends who have been implicated because of this incident?" he asked.
"Yes, he was heavily implicated," Xu Xinyuan said.
As the main person in charge of He County, Guo Zhenghe was greatly implicated. In fact, the higher-ups were already very dissatisfied with him, but for various reasons, they still endured it.
"I'm sorry," Miao Xinhe said after a moment of silence.
"It's none of your business. You don't have to apologize."
"I'm guessing that this matter is most likely related to the stockade. By the way, an outsider once entered the stockade to learn medicine," Miao Xinhe suddenly recalled.
"Study medicine?"
"Yes, who is the most famous doctor in southern Yunnan?"
"King Pharmacist," Xu Xinyuan said after thinking for a while.
"You've heard of it?"
"I've heard of him. He's very famous. It's said that as long as you can find him, there's no disease that can't be cured. There are even rumors that he can cure those incurable diseases. It's just that the cost of treatment is very special. "
"Yes, he used to study medicine in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine."
"What?!" Hearing this, Xu Xinyuan was shocked.
"Who else?"
"I don't know, but the number of people must be very small," Miao Xinhe said. "Moreover, to study medicine in our stockade, one needs the consent of the chief. The King Pharmacist of Miaojiang was a student of our previous chief."
"The previous generation's patriarch? That means that your previous patriarch's medical skills are very impressive?"
"Of course, as far as I know, there is no disease that he can't cure," Miao Xinhe said. "According to the rules of the stockade, the chief of each generation has always been the person with the strongest medical skills."
"All the generations?"
"All of them."
"What about this generation?"
"Miaoxi River is an amazing figure," Miao Xinhe said. "Whether it's his medical skills or his use of poison, he is a very good person. The old chief praised him and said that he is the most outstanding person in the stockade in 100 years. Miao Xinhe said, "Although I hate him very much, I have to admit that he does have considerable ability."
"Is he that good?"
"He is a master in medical skills, kung fu, and poison," Miao Xinhe said.
"Of course, it may also be that I don't have much contact with people, so I think he is too good."
"Alright, there are two things I need you to do. First, settle yourself down. If you need anything, just tell me. Second, please use your methods to help me find out who is behind all this, and where the missing Miao Qingshan might be, while protecting yourself."
"Okay, I will try my best."
"Well, you must protect yourself. Your stockade is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface."
"Well, I know," Miao Xinhe said.
"Remember to let me know if you need anything."
"Got it, thank you."
"You are welcome. In fact, to put it bluntly, we are each taking what we need. By the way, how are your medical skills?"
"I know a little, but I am not proficient," Miao Xinhe said.
Although their stockade was said to have studied these things for generations, not everyone was proficient. After all, some people were not willing to learn this, and some people were really not suitable to learn this because they were not talented.
Xu Xinyuan left the place where Miao Xinhe temporarily lived. After he left, Miao Xinhe's face instantly became a little gloomy.
"Clan Chief, I've troubled you. I hope you'll like it." After saying that, he smiled. It was a smile that gave off a very sinister feeling.
After Xu Xinyuan left Jizhou, he flew straight to southern Yunnan.
In the neighboring Qi Province, in Lianshan County, on Nanshan Hill …
In the stone battle array …
There were two people.
"How is it? Have you found any patterns?" Wang Yao held a cup of tea and looked at Su Xiaoxue with a smile.
A few days later, the two of them came to Nanshan Hill. Su Xiaoxue insisted on entering the stone battle array. Wang Yao was not at ease, so he followed her in. As a result, Su Xiaoxue could not find the way out after entering.
"Well, I can't find any patterns," Su Xiaoxue said.
The stones looked different in size and shape. There was no pattern to the vegetation on the ground. After entering, it felt like they were circling around the stones, but they could not find the way out. They always felt that they were surrounded by stones. It was as if they were trapped there by these lifeless stones. Su Xiaoxue tried to make some marks on the stones, but she found that they were still circling in place.
"What is the principle of this?" Su Xiaoxue asked curiously.
"Well, Yin and Yang, the five elements, and some other things," Wang Yao said with a smile. "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Well, forget it." Su Xiaoxue thought carefully and shook her head.
"I have enough courses now, and I also have to practice Kung Fu with the teacher. This battle array must be very profound."
"It is not very profound," Wang Yao said. "Come on, I will explain the basic knowledge to you."
Wang Yao explained the most basic knowledge to Su Xiaoxue. As he spoke, the scene in front of them changed. The stones disappeared and were replaced by lush trees.
When they looked back, the Formation of Chaos stood quietly behind them. It looked really ordinary and nothing special. Only when they entered it would they discover the mystery and feel deep regret and fear.
"It is so magical!" Su Xiaoxue exclaimed. After Wang Yao's explanation, she had a preliminary understanding of the battle array.
"Let's go," Wang Yao said. "Let's go to other places."
"Okay."
The two of them wandered around the mountain.
On Nanshan Hill, the climate was mild. Even in such a cold winter, once they left a certain range and went to Xishan or Dongshan Hill, the climate would immediately change. The wind on the mountain was already strong, let alone in such weather. It was quite cold and whistling.
"Are you cold?"
"No," Su Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"Ah, with your current cultivation, you should almost be able to reach the level where you are immune to cold and heat," Wang Yao said.
"Well, I tried it when I was in Jing. Even if I wore very little, I would not feel cold. If I wore too much, I would not feel too hot," Su Xiaoxue said.
The changes in the weather did not have much impact on her body.
"Sir, can you teach me a few more moves of Kung Fu?"
"Kung Fu?"
"Yes."
"Well, I will teach you the Kung Fu I am best at," Wang Yao said after thinking for a moment.
As early as when they were in Jing, Wang Yao had taught her some Kung Fu. However, it was the most basic foundation of boxing and was not profound.
"Space-Splitting Fist?"
"Yes, Space-Splitting Fist," Wang Yao said.
This was the Kung Fu he learned from the ancient boxing scripture. It was also the Kung Fu that he had studied the most. When combined with his neixi, it was very powerful and magical.
It looked like a simple punch, but it could produce unimaginable power.
Su Xiaoxue learned very seriously.
"Sir, is this Kung Fu very powerful?"
"Well, it is quite powerful," Wang Yao said after thinking for a moment.
"Won't that kill someone?"
"Well, if you use force, it will," Wang Yao said very seriously.
"Ah, I have to be careful." Su Xiaoxue smiled. Her eyes were like crescent moons, beautiful and lovely.
"You will get used to it. Practice makes perfect. Kung Fu is practiced and comprehended," Wang Yao said.
His explanation was very detailed, and he himself also did a round of punching. It was very slow, especially when it came to some parts that required a lot of skill. Don't look at it as a simple punch. Punching, punching, Dharmic powers, and breathing were all techniques that required coordination and training.
"I didn't expect there to be so many skills in it."
"Of course, Kung Fu, Kung Fu, Kung Fu, Kung Fu," Wang Yao said.
This was external Kung Fu, and neixi was internal Kung Fu. The combination of internal and external, the integration of Yin and Yang, and the intersection of illusion and reality, was profound Kung Fu.
The happy time was very short. A day passed just like that.
It was dark. The mountain village was very quiet during the day and even more so at night. However, Wang Yao's house was very lively. Wang Ru and Du Mingyang had also come back.
