It was late at night, in the main hall of Marquis Wending's mansion.

Dugu Ziyan continued: "But occasionally, some herb collectors will go there. Because of the geographical environment there, it is suitable for the growth of some medicinal materials."

"And many years after that incident, every time a herb picker went there, he would always meet a young man hunting and gathering herbs there."

"I heard that the boy's skill is very good. Because every time I meet him, I can see him from a distance. He leads a lot of prey."

"Once, he even saw that young man walking down with a tiger on his shoulders."

"At that time, the herb picker was very shocked. The boy's skill was so powerful that he could kill a tiger by himself and carry it away."

"At that time, he was very impressed, and wanted to say hello to the past. But the distance was relatively far at that time, but when he walked over, the boy had disappeared."

"However, when the herbal picker stopped and looked around, he was shocked!"

"Because the direction the boy was walking turned out to be going into the valley."

"And in the valley of the Fallen Leaves Valley, the Miao Jiang man captured children to refine Gu skills, and after he was besieged by the government, he escaped again."

"After this matter was widely spread, no one dared to go in that valley."

"And the road into the valley has long been overgrown with weeds, and there is no way to get in."

"At that time, the herbal picker looked around, but he didn't see any traces of those weeds being pushed aside or walked on."

"But that boy disappeared from that direction.

"It's gone!" Qingluan exclaimed.

Dugu Ziyan nodded, and continued: "Yes, that's right. At that time, the herb collector was also scared. From then on, when he went to collect herbs, he would avoid that area and avoid those few hours. "

"After he deliberately avoided it, he didn't meet that boy again in the valley."

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi had doubts in his eyes, and continued to ask: "Has Zhao Kuo visited there?"

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied, "Zhao Kuo went there once, but he couldn't see anything."

Mo Yi's eyes were deep in thought, and he said, "Someone may have designed other secret passages there, or set up a strange magic trick to cover the entrance and exit."

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied, "Well, I thought so too. But Zhao Kuo is not good at this. So he went and found nothing."

Xiao Jinxi continued: "You just said that he didn't meet again in the valley. That is to say, he met in other places."

Duguzi smiled, and continued: "That's right. A year later, the herbal picker went to the pharmacy to sell the medicine, and when he was about to leave, he saw that young man again. At that time, the young man walked in carrying a bag of medicine."

"At that time, he was shocked. But he didn't dare to stay, so he left the pharmacy."

"Another point, what shocked him was that the boy carried the medicine bag, greeted the shopkeeper, and walked in."

"And that pharmacy is called Jishengtang."

Qingluan looked over in an instant, and said, "Jishengtang? Is it the same one that Ji Haotian went to?"

Dugu Ziyan shook his head and said, "I don't know about that yet. It's not unusual for a pharmacy to have this name. Whether it's the same one or not, we'll find out later."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said: "It seems that the boy is very familiar with that drugstore. It is even possible that he and his master opened that drugstore."

Qingluan was startled and asked: "His master? Could it be Ye Qing?"

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied: "That's right. Since the government encircled and suppressed people and failed to catch anyone in the Fallen Leaves Valley, people in the vicinity have not dared to go."

"In the past few years, someone dared to live in that valley, and even secretly designed a way that outsiders could not enter. Then who else is this person besides Ye Qing?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled, nodded and said: "That's right. At that young man's age, even if he is good at martial arts, he will still design secret passages or strange ways to escape armor."

"But to learn these things, there must always be a source and someone to teach. It can't be done, all of them are self-taught!"

"As for those who dare to live in that valley and have these abilities. The only person I can think of right now is Ye Qing."

Mo Yi nodded and said: "Xi'er is right. The government was besieged and suppressed him back then, but he ran away. Later, the government was around there. After searching for a month, there was still no news, so they took over the troops."

"But Ye Qing, it's hard to find a place to stay. And there are those medicinal materials in that valley, which are suitable for him to continue refining Gu art, how could he give up so easily."

Qingluan nodded and said: "Yes, what the master said is true. So that Ye Qing, it is very likely that he will return to the valley after the wind has passed. He also hides everything in the valley and continues to live in it. on."

Dugu Ziyan continued: "Yes, that's right. And that young man hunted and collected medicines in the Fallen Leaves Valley. Then he sold those medicines in the medicine shop."

After a while, Qingluan continued to ask: "The herbal picker at the back, did you meet that young man again?"

Dugu Ziyan continued: "Their herbal collectors, if nothing special, usually go to a pharmacy to sell medicines on a regular basis."

"That day in the valley, the herbal picker was a little scared when he saw the young man disappear. But at the pharmacy by the street, he wasn't afraid anymore. Instead, he became curious."

"Since then, he has saved up some medicine and saved it to sell medicine at Jishengtang on the same day and at the same time. Until two months later, he met that boy again."

"At that time, I heard that there was a girl beside him, who was about his age, and that girl was called that boy, Senior Brother."

"Brother?" Qingluan was startled for a moment: "So, this girl also lives in that valley, maybe it's related to Ye Qing?"

But Dugu Ziyan shook his head and said, "No, that girl doesn't live in the valley."

"Because that day, the girl said something, senior brother, the crickets in the mansion disturbed me all night, and I didn't sleep well."

"While talking, the two of them went into the inner room together. After that, the herb picker finished paying and left, and the two of them didn't come out."

Qingluan asked anxiously: "Then what about the back, did the herbal picker go to the medicine shop to follow?"

Dugu Ziyan shook his head and said, "No. Because the herb picker heard the girl say, in the mansion."

"Those who can afford to live in the mansion are either rich or noble. In addition, the boy disappeared in the valley."

"The herb picker was really scared. Later, he changed to another pharmacy to sell medicine."

"It's been like this for a few years. One day, the herb picker was on the street and saw the girl again."

"At that time, that girl had already grown up. That day was the day when the Dayue court sent Di Ji to Tianqi to get married."

Xiao Jinxi understood instantly, and said, "That's Concubine Mei."

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied: "That's right. It was the time when the first young master of Dayue became the emperor and the queen mother assisted the government."

"To show his sincerity, the dowry prepared by Dayue is very rich, and he sent this Princess Mei to Tianqi for marriage."

"At that time, the herbal picker was on the wedding sedan chair, and saw the girl back then, who was the Da Yue Emperor Ji dressed up."
