Section 4: The Dream of Wu Lin in the Misty Cave (2)
Da Song Mingyue http://www./0_1/ The latest work of the master of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! It rained for a long time before it stopped. By the time Ling'er and Zixin went back, it was already dusk.
Hengshan Sect is located in Tianfengling, the main peak of Hengshan Mountain.
"Eh? Aren't those the two Zhong brothers?" Ling'er pointed at the two young men and said.
Zixin looked in the direction pointed by Ling'er. Who could it be if they weren't Zhong Gong and Zhong Long? She said happily: "Daddy and the others are back from Wangzhuang Fort! I'll go in and have a look."
Ling'er also ran in after her.
Zhong Gong and Zhong Long are twin brothers. They have handsome faces that look exactly like each other and are about the same height. Fortunately, they have different personalities, so people who are familiar with them can easily tell them apart. They like dark clothes and behave well.
The elder brother Zhong Gong is gentle and elegant; and the younger brother Zhong Long is naughty and active and likes light-colored clothes. They are orphans. They studied under Ji Cangyu since they were young, and grew up with Ling'er as childhood sweethearts.
"Ling'er!" As soon as the two Zhong brothers saw Ling'er, they rushed to her side and surrounded her on the left and right.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you miss me so quickly?" Ling'er said jokingly.
"Ling'er is not with us, life is so boring!" Zhong Long complained to her hurriedly.
"What about the thing I asked you to inquire about?" Ling'er said expectantly.
"Let me tell you." Zhong Long stopped his brother and rushed to say, "The terrifying murderous organization Feitian Gang has issued a heavenly evil order against the martial arts world again."
"Heavenly Evil Order?" Ling'er was surprised.
"It's the top secret order we told you before! Only if the Heavenly Evil Order is issued, the top killers of the Feitian Gang will come out." This time it was Zhong Gong who rushed to say, "By the way, Ling'er, why do you always ask us to ask Feitian
Something to help with?"
"It's nothing!" Ling'er asked again, "What happened to the Heavenly Evil Order this time?"
"Uh... we haven't found out yet." Zhong Long said in a low voice. Sure enough, he saw Ling'er's disappointed look. He hurriedly added, "I heard it seems to be related to the Wulin Heroes Association."
"Martial Arts Heroes Meeting? What is this?" Ling'er's interest returned.
"The Martial Arts Heroes Meeting was held at Yixingmen. It can be said to be a grand gathering for the rising stars of the martial arts world. At the meeting, young martial arts elites from various sects will compete with each other in martial arts." Zhong Long introduced hurriedly.
Ling'er's eyes lit up, she liked this kind of martial arts competition.
Seeing Ling'er happy, of course the Zhong brothers are also happy!
Yixingmen is the sect that Ling'er has longed for for a long time. The Wulin Heroes Meeting will be Ling'er's first stop in the world, and she has made a decision.

In the evening, everyone from the Hengshan faction held a banquet to wash away the dust of the leader and his entourage.
"On the way to Wangzhuang Fort, we received an invitation letter from Yixingmen. Three months later, a gathering of martial arts heroes was held in Luoyang. Yixingmen invited disciples from various sects to study martial arts together. Since two months have passed,
It's the death anniversary of the third junior brother, so I won't go. I have asked the ten young disciples with the highest martial arts skills in the sect to set off from Wangzhuang Castle to Taihang Mountain to attend the meeting with the Taihang sect." Xiao Yuan mentioned the most important thing about this trip.
Tell everyone.
Zi Xin ate with her head down, feeling unhappy.
Ling'er understood her thoughts and said, "Uncle Xiao, I want to go to the Wulin Heroes Association."
"Young people should go and see it. Ling'er's idea is very good." Xiao Yuan said.
The two Zhong brothers looked at each other and smiled. They didn't want to miss such a big scene.
"However, the rivers and lakes are dangerous. Ling'er, you have never set foot in the rivers and lakes. It's really not reassuring to go there alone!" Xiao Yuan expressed his concerns.
Ling'er was about to answer, but was interrupted by Zhong Gong.
Zhong Gong excitedly recommended himself: "Zhong Long and I will accompany Ling'er so we can protect her."
"No." Xiao Yuan resolutely refused them, "Zhuang Master Ji entrusted you two to me and told me that during his absence, you must stay with me to practice martial arts."
The two Zhong brothers were like deflated rubber balls, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
Linger secretly touched Zixin with her elbow.
Zixin understood and was about to speak, but when she saw her father's face, she immediately lost her courage again.
This made Ling'er anxious on the side.
Seeing his daughter hesitate to speak, Xiao Yuan said: "Xin'er, dad knows what you are thinking, and you must also understand dad's considerations."
"I know, Dad." Zixin could only nod meekly.
Ever since the accident nine years ago, Xiao Yuan has not allowed his daughter to leave Hengshan Mountain without permission. Every time he thinks of the situation at that time, he feels frightened. He blames his poor discipline for letting his nine-year-old daughter go down the mountain to play alone.
It wasn't until the next day that the child came back covered in mud. He seemed to have experienced a great ordeal, and was in a daze, exhausted, and contracted extremely severe typhoid. At the same time, he received the sad news that his third junior brother had been assassinated and died tragically.
"Uncle Xiao, then I'll go by myself!" Ling'er said, looking at Zixin helplessly.
Xiao Yuan said: "You must not go alone. If it hadn't happened to be the anniversary of my third junior brother's death in two months, and I was worried that there wouldn't be enough people, I would send a few disciples to go with you. I will think of a way!"
Xiao Yuan suddenly thought of Master Wuchen of the Wutai Sect and suggested, "Maybe you can join the disciples of the Wutai Sect. I remember that you and Miss Na Mu also have a good relationship."
"Okay then!" Ling'er responded happily.
"I will repair a letter to Master Wuchen later," Xiao Yuan said.

Early the next morning, Zixin came to the elixir shop to look for Ling'er.
"I'm really going to travel in the world in a few days. It's time for you to make a surprise attack and practice your skills, right?" Zi Xin took Ling'er's sword and prepared to hand it to her.
But Ling'er didn't have time to pick up the sword. While grinding the medicinal materials, she had to stir the ground medicinal powder. At the same time, she had to take care of the heat of the alchemy furnace. She was very busy!
"I'm sorry! Zixin, I can't practice sword practice with you today. My latest development of the elixir has reached a critical stage, and I really can't leave!" Ling'er said apologetically.
"Okay!" Although Zi Xin felt a little regretful, she heard that Ling'er was about to develop a new elixir, so she supported her unconditionally. She had already experienced the miraculous effects of the external ointment developed by Ling'er last time, so she was
She had unlimited expectations for the new elixir, and asked: "What kind of magical elixir is this time?"
"I haven't thought of a name yet, but the effects will definitely make you wonder!" Ling'er pretended to smile mysteriously, "It's a must-have medicine for traveling in the world."
Zi Xin became even more interested when she heard what she said and hurriedly asked: "Tell me about it!"
Ling'er no longer whetted her appetite and replied: "It is an internal analgesic. Even if you are injured and painful, as long as you take this elixir, you can relieve the pain in a short time and stimulate the potential power in the body. How?
Like? Is it necessary to travel around the world?"
Zixin admired Ling'er even more after hearing this.
So far, doctors have relied on external paralysis drugs to relieve pain, but the effect is still not good, because external drugs can only relieve pain on the surface, but have no effect on pain in the body, especially internal injuries, let alone stimulate the body's potential.
Something like that.
"Awesome! Ling'er, you are so amazing!" Zi Xin excitedly pulled Ling'er's arm.
"Actually, it's nothing!" Ling'er was praised by her and smiled sheepishly. Her originally fair cheeks turned slightly red, revealing two shallow dimples.
"Why do you suddenly want to develop this kind of elixir?" Zi Xin suddenly asked.
"A few days ago, we went to Xishantou to collect herbs. I discovered a kind of orchid that can relieve pain. This herb has analgesic effect but does not paralyze the nerves. It just so happens that I have recently been studying how to stimulate the body's potential.
"Acupuncture therapy and the herbs that go with it." Ling'er answered her without stopping, "You think, you will always encounter bad people when walking in the world. If you are accidentally injured, the pain of the wound will make you even more unable to deal with the enemy.
Wouldn't it be great if there was such a pill at this time?"
"Not bad! This elixir is really practical!" Zi Xin agreed.
"However, this elixir still has a flaw. It will cause the gastric juice to be diluted, and the stomach may feel uncomfortable after taking it. I am still trying to figure this out." Ling'er frowned.
When Zixin was confused, Ling'er said again: "This is so difficult to solve! Because the properties of medicine always conflict with each other." After saying that, Ling'er sighed again.
Zixin wanted to comfort Ling'er, saying that medicines always have side effects and there is no need to be too upset about it, but she also knew that Ling'er would not give up lightly when dealing with difficult problems.
"Please Zi Xin, help me get two roots of Angelica dahurica." Ling'er pointed to Zi Xin at the medicinal materials hanging at the door.
"Ah?" Zi Xin was at a loss when facing the dozen or so unknown medicinal materials in front of her.
"I'd better do it myself!" After saying that, Ling'er rushed over, grabbed two root-shaped medicinal materials, and hurried back to her medicine grinding table.
Zixin couldn't help but smile when she saw her friend running around and busy. She felt that she couldn't help here, but would disturb her, so she went to practice her sword by herself.
Just as Ling'er saw off his friends, the two Zhong brothers arrived one after another.
"Ling'er, let me help you grind the medicine." Zhong Gong took the tool from Ling'er and started working.
Zhong Long picked up the medicine bowl, stirred the medicine powder, and asked with a smile: "What else needs to be mixed in?"
"You?" Ling'er was stunned.
"Ling'er, you can rest! If you have any instructions, just let us know. Just leave these menial tasks to us." Zhong Gong seemed to enjoy the fun of this work.
"You have nothing to do to express your kindness, tell me, what is your purpose? Do you want me to plead with Master Xiao to let you go to Luoyang together?" Ling'er guessed their purpose at once.
Unfortunately she guessed wrong.
"No, Ling'er, you will be traveling far away in a while, and we won't be able to see you for a long time. We feel reluctant to part with you." Zhong Long said reluctantly.
"Luoyang is so far away, Ling'er, you have to take care of yourself!" Zhong Gong was not only reluctant to leave, but also worried.
Ling'er suddenly felt so ashamed that they couldn't let her go, and why was Zixin the only one she couldn't let go of? But Ling'er still said: "I can't let you go either! When I come back, I will tell you all the fun things I encountered on the road.
I’ll tell you all.”
"Ling'er, it's a deal." Zhong Long stretched out his little finger to tick her.
Suddenly, Zi Xin appeared again.
"Okay! You two boys are here as expected. It's practice time now. Come quickly, or my father will punish you, and I won't intercede for you anymore." After Zixin finished speaking, she winked at Ling'er with her left eye.
He picked up his sword and left.
"So you guys are here to be lazy!" Ling'er suddenly realized, "Why don't you go practice Kungfu quickly?"
"No." Zhong Long quickly denied, "Okay, let's go right away." He put down the medicine bowl helplessly and went to get his brother.
"By the way, Ling'er, this is given to you by the second lady of Wangzhuangbao." Zhong Gong said, taking out a brocade box from his arms and giving it to Ling'er. After Ling'er took the brocade box, he and his brother
Left depressed.
Ling'er opened the brocade box, and inside was a finely crafted silver needle. On the body of the slender silver needle, there were very exquisite patterns. Ling'er took a closer look and saw that his name was engraved on the handle of the silver needle, a "
