Zhou Shaobai tried his best to use his remaining foot to use his twelve points of force and kicked the sword inserted on the ground!

The sword body flew up, and a silver cold arc drew out under the moonlight, which penetrated into the abdomen of the thief!

"You!" The thief's expression changed drastically, he let go of his hand, hurriedly reached out to draw the sword. Zhou Shaobai fell to the ground, his face was blue and purple, and he breathed greedily.

"Boy, how dare you hurt me!" The thief suddenly pulled out the sword in his belly, furious, his face as a ferocious ghost. He raised his sword high, "Grandpa asked you to be a decapitated ghost!"

The girl exclaimed: "Be careful!"

Zhou Shaobai no longer had the strength. He raised an arm to block it. Of course, he also knew that the consequence of blocking this way was that his arms and his neck would be cut off together.

However, the thief suddenly screamed and fell down.

Zhou Shaobai was stunned. He was very surprised. Although the sword was inserted into the thief's belly, this injury would not kill him instantly. Could it be that he was pretending to die?

He crawled to the side of the thief, but saw that the thief's eyes were bulging, his face was blue and purple, and there was no movement in his nose and chest. It was obviously dead. Blood was still flowing out of his abdomen, and the blood was faintly black.

Poisoned!

Zhou Shaobai wanted to try the pulse and breath of the thief. As soon as he reached out his hand, the girl over there called out: "Young master, wait a moment, this thief dies strangely, don't act recklessly!"

Zhou Shaobai suddenly realized that the girl also saw something was wrong. He quickly retracted his hand and thought to himself that it was important to rescue the girl quickly.

He dislocated his leg and was unable to move. He turned around and crawled towards the girl with difficulty, but the girl cried in a low voice: "Young master! The little girl is in disheveled..."

The voice was full of shame. Zhou Shaobai's face became hot. He didn't dare to look up and lowered his head and said, "What the girl said is that I was confused just now, but..."

"Young Master, don't worry. With half a stick of incense, the little woman can completely break through the acupoints that the traitor pointed." The girl said shyly.

Zhou Shaobai's face turned red: Yes, this girl can even untie the mute acupoints by herself, but she can see that she is very skilled in acupuncture kung fu, but she really doesn't think about it thoroughly and she doesn't think about it.

After a while, the girl happily said, "Young master, the little girl's acupoint has been untied. Please wait and go and help you when I put on my clothes."

Zhou Shaobai nodded: "Okay, then I'll bother the girl."

Listening to the rustling sound of the girl wearing clothes, Zhou Shaobai tried to look up several times, but he couldn't muster up the courage.

After the girl finished dressing, she hurriedly walked over: "Young Master, the thief just now said that your leg injury was a dislocated. If so, please don't worry. The little girl can help you take it back."

Zhou Shaobai was overjoyed: "Really? That's great! Thank you, Miss, I'm sorry!"

"Young Master, you are polite. If you hadn't sacrificed your life to save me just now, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I've been insulted by the thief, or I'm worried about my life. Please lie down, it's very painful to reconnect the joints, please endure it."

Zhou Shaobai gritted his teeth: "No, come on!"

"Okay, please be patient."

The girl stretched out her hands and carefully stroked Zhou Shaobai's dislocated hips. For the first time in her lifetime, Zhou Shaobai was so close to a girl of the same age. She could feel the girl's breathing like orchids, and she felt her soft and boneless hands wandering around the joints to check, which made him feel his mind and almost forgot the pain.

With a "click", Zhou Shaobai let out a muffled groan, and a layer of sweat the size of soybeans were covered with a layer of beads of sweat on his forehead.

The girl said happily: "Okay, young master, the joints have been reset. You can try standing up and walking."

Zhou Shaobai followed the words and acted as usual, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The girl's medical skills are really brilliant, which makes me admire her very much. By the way, next week, Shaobai, haven't you asked the girl's name yet?"

The girl looked at Zhou Shaobai with a slight look, lowered her eyes and smiled, "Young Master, don't make fun of her. Gao Ming was ashamed of being aware of it, and he learned a little bit from his father. The little girl's surname is Qin and her name is Ziling."

"Qin Ziling? Ziling is the raw one, which is cold in nature and treats diseases, the fried one is hot in nature and causes diseases, and the steamed one is warm in nature and nourishes people." Zhou Shaobai exclaimed, "The girl is named after medicine, and it seems that she wants to be determined to save the world."

Qin Ziling was a little surprised: "Young Master Zhou is still familiar with pharmacology?"

"Shame, my father is doing medicinal materials business in Lianzhou City. He told me to concentrate on studying the "Medicinal Sutra" in my spare time, but I was stupid and naughty, so I only read a few articles." Zhou Shaobai touched his head and said embarrassedly.

Qin Ziling widened her eyes: "Lianzhou medicinal materials merchant, surnamed Zhou... Prince, is it because Ling Zun's name is Zhou Chaozong?"

Zhou Shaobai was very surprised: "Not bad! Miss Qin knows her father?"

"It's not just about knowing Uncle Zhou, but my father is the best friend!" Qin Ziling clapped her hands and smiled, "My father is a famous doctor in Lianzhou City, and Qin Guangzhong is my father's name. I have known since I was a child that Uncle Zhou's family had an older brother who was sent to Xiyun Temple to practice eight years ago, but I didn't expect to see him here!"

Zhou Shaobai remembered that when my father went up the mountain to visit him two years ago, he was going up the mountain with his friend Qin Guangzhong. Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him was the daughter of Uncle Qin. He clapped his hands and smiled and said, "It's so fate. It turns out that I saved the Qin girl. It's so clear that the sky has eyes. Arrange me to meet here!"

Qin Ziling's face turned red: "Thanks to Mr. Zhou to save him, otherwise, I really..."

The two did not expect that they had such a relationship with each other and they met very happily. Zhou Shaobai was one year older than Qin Ziling, so they called each other brothers and sisters. Qin Ziling followed his father to learn medical principles since he was a child, studied the eight extraordinary meridians, and also learned some methods of nourishing qi. Therefore, the acupuncture points were sealed just now, and they could also break through the acupuncture points by luck.

The two went to check the thief's corpse. Qin Ziling pulled out a silver hairpin from her hair and pressed against the skin of the corpse. After a while, there was no abnormality. She stabbed the silver hairpin into the corpse and pulled it out for a while, but there was still no abnormality.

Zhou Shaobai said: "There seems to be something wrong with his blood."

Qin Ziling touched Yinchai's blood stains on the abdomen of the corpse as he spoke. Sure enough, Yinchai immediately turned black.

"Miss from the Qin family, do you have a clue?"

Qin Ziling frowned and thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, this poison is taken from snake blood herbs, and people will only get this poison through diet. After being poisoned, there is no abnormality, but if there is no antidote within three hours, the poison will definitely be killed. Moreover, if the body is injured after being poisoned, it will bleed continuously and die immediately."

Zhou Shaobai suddenly realized: "No wonder his abdomen is not fatal, but he died in an instant."

"This man came to Xiyunguan to set fire, and even said that he had a treasure, but he didn't know what treasure it was?" Qin Ziling said suspiciously.

Zhou Shaobai had no idea either. He untied the clothes on his body and checked them carefully.

"This traitor actually carries a scent with him. I really don't know how many good women have ruined." Zhou Shaobai frowned and continued to search, but found a short sword from the waist of the corpse. The short sword was in a strange shape, unlike the Central Plains objects, which were covered with jewelry. Under the moonlight, it was filled with bright light and was very gorgeous. Zhou Shaobai pulled out the short blade and saw that the cold air was imposing under the silver light. In a moment, the two of them were shocked to see fine water droplets appearing on it. It turned out that the short sword was cold in nature, and the water vapor naturally condensed on it.

"What a beautiful dagger, is this the treasure on the mountain?" Qin Ziling said in surprise.

"I don't know this. But there shouldn't be such a strange weapon on the mountain. My master, the uncle I have met, and the head of the sect, all use swords. This thing is definitely not from the mountain. Maybe it was stolen from this flower-picking thief. If the girl from the Qin family likes it, she will take it for her own use." Zhou Shaobai handed it over.

"No, I don't want this traitor." Qin Ziling frowned and turned her face to the other side in disgust.

Zhou Shaobai smiled and said, "This thing was indeed buried with the thief. Fortunately, when we met us, it was considered a loss of darkness and light. Since my sister disliked me, I will take it with me to see if I can make it return to the original owner by chance one day."

Zhou Shaobai put away his sword, and the two continued to search and found another tart cloth bag from the body. When they opened it, there was an old book inside, which was not very clear under the moonlight. So Zhou Shaobai took a fire note from the bag and blew it on, and looked closely before the letter.

I saw the words "Ten Essentials of Taoism" vaguely written on the mottled cover.
Chapter completed!
