The reason why Ning Daocheng said this was simply to reassure Li Man'er and tell her that he would not do anything detrimental to her, let alone have the ability to do anything detrimental to her.
Li Man'er just smiled and said, "Don't worry, little uncle, I have never told anyone about this matter, only you. I can't trust those people in the Li family. Well, originally, I didn't want to tell you either, but
You will definitely ask me where we are, whether we are safe or not, etc., but I really can’t think of any excuses, so I will tell you the truth.”
"Don't worry, Man'er, uncle will help you keep this secret." Ning Daocheng said: "You little girl, you have been extremely lucky since you were a child, and now you have such a great opportunity, it shows that even God is reluctant to let you suffer.
."
The stone had been in my sister's hand for such a long time, but she never discovered its secret. Until her death, she probably thought that the stone was just a stone, which blinded the crazy monk.
Perhaps, the stone did not belong to his sister in the first place, and the crazy monk insisted on giving the stone to his sister, maybe asking her to keep it for him, waiting for its true owner.
And Man'er is the real master of Mustard Seed Xumi!
Ning Daocheng felt a lot more relieved when he thought of this. If Tiandao insists on doing this, who can stop him? There is no need to worry about being coveted.
However, in order to avoid trouble, you still have to keep your mouth shut.
"Little uncle, what is going on between you and the Xiao family, what happened back then, and why did you come to Mobei?" Li Maner asked several questions in one go.
Ning Daocheng fell into memories and didn't speak for a long time. Li Man'er didn't rush him and just waited quietly.
I don't know how much time passed, but Ning Daocheng slowly said: "A few years ago, someone discovered the whereabouts of my master Qiu Yixian in Mobei. When I got the news, I didn't bother to say goodbye to my family. I simply packed up and set foot.
I went on a journey to find my master. When I arrived in Mobei, I inquired as I walked. It took me three months to finally find out that the master had appeared near the Moro Mountains."
Moro Mountains?
As if he knew that Li Man'er didn't know anything about the Moro Mountains, Ning Daocheng gently explained her confusion, "That is the highest mountain range across Mobei and the barbarian territory. The mountains stretch endlessly, the peaks reach into the sky, and there are countless dense forests in the mountains.
The four seasons are distinct halfway up the mountain, but the top of the mountain is covered with white snow. The snow on the top of the mountain never melts all year round, like a chasm in the sky."
It sounds like a very high and dangerous mountain.
Only when the altitude reaches a certain level, the snow on the top of the mountain will not melt all year round. Such a mountain will also be very rich in vegetation and various resources, and there may be some secrets hidden in it.
Li Man'er guessed that Qiu Yixian would not go to such a dangerous old forest for no reason. He might be looking for some treasure. As a doctor, he has no resistance to the rare treasures of the world. Think about the thousand-year-old man who is like a carrot.
Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum as big as a washbasin, or Tianshan snow lotus whose efficacy has been widely publicized, these are all treasures, and they are all things that don't make people worry.
"The Moro Mountains are full of crises. I prepared for more than three months before I brought supplies and local guides into the mountains."
Really...
In order to find Dr. Qiu, my uncle really risked his life.
"We wandered around the mountains for more than a month and found nothing. We had almost eaten everything we brought with us. For safety reasons, we had to withdraw."
The second time he went into the mountain, Ning Daocheng was more prepared. Not only did he find three experienced guides, he also found a escort team. A group of more than a dozen people prepared a wealth of supplies and went into the mountain. They stayed for more than two days in total.
When Yue came out of the woods, only eight of the dozen people survived, and two of them were injured and became disabled.
"Uncle, did you get injured at that time?"
Ning Daocheng shook his head, "It's very dangerous in the woods, and it's even more dangerous in winter. The snow is very heavy, and you might slip and fall if you're not careful. There are also wild animals, so the difficulty is much higher than before. The dead guards
, some were attacked by wild beasts and died, some fell into the mountain stream and died, and some suffered trauma and became disabled because there was no treatment."
Having said this, Ning Daocheng's face became unsightly. His insistent actions had harmed many people and paid a lot of price.
"What happened later? Did you give up?"
"I didn't give up. I prepared for a few more months. When spring came, I recruited more people to go into the mountains. I spent all my money on purchasing supplies, and it was a desperate move."
If you can't find anyone, you would rather die in the woods. What kind of spirit is this?
Li Man'er frowned and wondered who this Medical Fairy Qiu was. As far as she knew, Medical Fairy Qiu had never admitted that he had a disciple. Although his younger uncle's medical skills were taught to him personally, it seemed that he did not like to see this successor.
Ah, otherwise, why wouldn't the master-disciple relationship between the two be recognized to the outside world?
Wait, isn’t Doctor Qiu a woman?
Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu?
Li Man'er shook off the random thoughts in his mind and couldn't help but ask: "How is it going this time?" The Ning family has money, and they never treat Ning Daocheng poorly. They are afraid that he will not spend enough outside and will be stuffed.
The banknotes given to him were never small.
Ning Daocheng spent all his money, which shows how many things he bought.
"This time, we wandered around the mountains for about half a year..."
so long!
"What's the result? Did you find the person?" Li Man'er actually had the answer in his heart. If he found Qiu Yixian, maybe nothing would happen next.
But she didn't expect that Ning Daocheng would tell her, "Found it."
Ah? You're not playing your cards right.
"found it?"
Before Li Man'er could ask, Ning Daocheng said: "We found it, but the person is already dead."
Li Man'er's heart sank slightly, "How could this happen?" A generation of medical immortals, regarded as a god-like figure by the people of the country, disappeared like this?
"When we found her, her body was already somewhat decomposed. It looked like she had been dead for more than a month. The temperature in the mountains was low and the preservation was pretty good. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be able to recognize her when we found her.
"
"However, there are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests..." It is not common sense that the body has not been eaten by wild beasts after a month of death.
"My master, I have been working with medicine all year round, and my body has long been unable to be measured by ordinary people's standards. Her flesh and blood are all poisonous, and it is normal for wild animals not to eat it."
"What happened next?"
Ning Daocheng curled his fingers and said, "I found her, so naturally I have to take her out and let her bury her in peace."
"Then, how did you meet the Xiao family?"
Ning Daocheng said: "Do you know why my master entered the Moro Mountains?"
Li Maner thought for a moment, and then said: "Is it because of the Xiao family?"
