Chapter 485: Chapter 485

Initially, that villager woman was unconscious. However, as soon as she heard the three words of “Tortoise King Mountain,” her entire body trembled and she opened her eyes abruptly. Yet, her pupils shrank rapidly revealing a reaction of excessive shock. One only saw this villager woman grabbing the air randomly with both hands and gritting her teeth as she let out a gurgling sound.

Before the bed of that village woman, a mountain village man cried miserably: “Doctor Shui, is there still hope for my wife?”

That young girl had an ashen face full of apology. Apparently, she was beyond saving.

“No!” That villager, Mo Laosi gave a miserable roar and kneeled before the bed as he repeatedly pressed his forehead to the ground: “Doctor Shui, I beg you, you must find a way to save our child’s mother, I beg of you.”

That young girl revealed a saddened expression: “Senior Brother Mo, you should not have let your wife go to the Tortoise King Mountain.”

Qin Wushuang who was standing behind the young girl suddenly approached the head of the bed as his expression changed slightly. He grabbed the wrist of that villager woman, put his hand on her pulse and started to sense her condition.

“What are you doing?”

“Who is he?”

When the people around saw the sudden appearance of Qin Wushuang, all of them started swearing. Apparently, they felt extremely surprised by the appearance of this strange man.

Before these people could speak, Qin Wushuang poked his way to the body of that villager woman. He said to that young girl: “Young lady, where is the Tortoise King Mountain?”

That young girl said with a slight surprise: “Senior Brother Qin, do you have some medical expertise as well?”

“Hers is not a sickness, and not poisoning from the mountain malaria. It’s clear that someone planted a legendary venomous insect.” Qin Wushuang gave a light sigh.

“Legendary venomous insect?” That girl did not understand fully.

Qin Wushuang did not know how to explain it either. Initially, this venomous insect witchcraft was a mysterious and black method. It was difficult to explain the existence of such thing in medical terms.

“Yes, when one falls victim to this legendary venomous insect witchcraft, unless we find the person who had planted it, no medicine would be able to save her. Has people of the village shown this symptom in the past?”

As soon as Qin Wushuang asked this question, instantly, people surrounding him reveal worshipful looks. All of them kneeled down: “This foreign Young Master, in the recent years, a dozen of people had died mysteriously in our village.”

That young girl added: “All of them had been to the Tortoise King Mountain. That place is very dangerous.”

The Tortoise King Mountain was about few hundred miles away from this Bowl Valley. The villagers from this place would always go to the surrounding deep mountain in search of mountain goods. Although that Tortoise King Mountain was slightly further, it was the place with the most abundant mountain goods to earn their wealth. With some luck, some villagers had succeeded once or twice after having gone to the Tortoise King Mountain. Whenever they took the goods from the mountain to sell at the towns outside, it would sell at an extremely high price.

Thus, despite being a highly dangerous place, these people took the risks seeking the treasures of the Tortoise King Mountain.

Qin Wushuang frowned and said: “For now, I have suppressed the functions in her body with some way. However, if we cannot find the person who planted the venomous insect, sooner or later it will break out.”

Hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, Mo Laosi turned to kneel toward Qin Wushuang and kept begging: “Young Master from the outside world, I beg you to give us some kindness, I beg of you.”

Qin Wushuang nodded: “I will look into the Tortoise King Mountain. Don’t worry, it won’t be a problem for another seven days. I will try to find the owner of the venomous insect in this period of time.”

That young girl moved her mouth as if she wanted to say something. However, under such circumstance, as a doctor with a parental heart, she could not find the words to stop him.

Qin Wushuang followed this young girl and returned to the thatched house on the other side.

“Senior Brother Qin, are you really going to the Tortoise King Mountain?” That young girl asked.

With Qin Wushuang’s current situation, he should not be meddling into other people’s affairs. However, he had just experienced the life and death parting with Bao Bao and Lone. Seeing that Mo Laosi’s miserable and despairing expression, he felt deeply moved inwardly.

Besides, he saw that the towering mountain around this Bowl Valley had a strict meteorological feature. It did not seem to be that sort of nameless place. Thus, he wanted to explore it. Most importantly, he had to find a path out of the valley and return to his righteous path.

Seeing Qin Wushuang fall silent, that young girl gave a indistinct sigh and carried the herbal basket onto her back: “I will accompany you.”

“You are going too?” Qin Wushuang was surprised, “It’s fine for me to go alone.”

That young girl said with a determined tone: “Senior Brother Qin, I am a doctor. If the villager had been poisoned at the Tortoise King Mountain, I can use the source of the poison to find the corresponding antidotal herbs, and it’s easy to deal with it.”

“Didn’t you say that the Tortoise King Mountain is dangerous?”

That young girl nodded and continued with a tone that was as calm as the water: “I am a doctor, it’s dangerous for me to search for herbs in the mountain. However, whenever those beasts in the mountain see me, they would let me have my way.”

“The beasts let you have your way?” This was completely unheard of. Could it be that the beasts around this Bowl Valley were all vegetarian, or were undergoing spiritual cultivation?

How could they step back before a powerless human?

“Senior Brother Qin, I am not lying to you.”

Qin Wushuang found it outrageous as he smiled bitterly: “Perhaps I am ignorant and inexperienced, or is it because you have something special on your body.”

As he said this, Qin Wushuang’s tone also become determined: “However this time, you don’t have to come at all. I promise that it is not poisonous air from the mountain, but a man-made venomous insect! For this poison, doctors are useless. Only when the person who performed the witchcraft dies will it be resolved.”

“We need to kill people?” Instantly, the expression of that young girl changed as she bit her lips lightly.

Indeed, she was a girl made of pure water. Seeing the look of this young girl, Qin Wushuang sighed secretly. For sure, she was a girl not polluted by the dirty secular world, and a fairy hidden in an utopia.

“The person who used this venomous insect to kill people is bad. When bad people don’t die, good people will suffer.” Qin Wushuang could only explain patiently.

However, to a shy and naïve young lady doctor with as pure merciful heart like the snow lotus, such explanation would not persuade her so quickly.

That young girl was lost in thoughts. Suddenly, she remembered something and said: “Senior Brother Qin, you have injuries.”

Qin Wushuang said: “I will take care of myself for a few days, and it would be fine.”

Despite getting his Primordial Spirit wounded, after the baptism from the spiritual light, Qin Wushuang’s foundation and body functions were powerful. Thus, his regeneration ability was also superior.

Although the primordial spirit had suffered heavy injuries due to excessive use, it was not a fatal injury. He only needed to get enough rest.

Qin Wushuang had slept extremely soundly while listening to the mountain wind and the babbling streamlet.

In such hidden land of peace and prosperity, all the outside killing and grudges slowly fell into a deep sleep inside his heart.

Early morning on the next day, the sunlight shone through the window. The birdsong and fragrance of flowers awoke Qin Wushuang from his sleep. Qin Wushuang sensed his Dantian and after a day and a night of rest, the majority of his injuries had been healed.

Qin Wushuang did not find his own healing abilities strange. Ever since he had stepped onto the martial arts path, he had also suffered a lot of injuries. Yet, the powerful recovery abilities of his body made his injuries heal at an extremely rapid speed.

“Young girl, which direction is that Tortoise King Mountain in?” After breakfast, Qin Wushuang asked.

“Senior Brother Qin, you are definitely not taking me with you?”

“Yes, girl, please trust me. This time, for sure you don’t have to come.”

That young girl breathed in deeply and nodded with disappointment: “Walk forward towards the entrance of the valley to the south west direction. That should be a few hundred miles. At the boundary, you will see a mountain with a shape like a giant tortoise. That would be the Tortoise King Mountain.”

“Ok, I will go see now.” Qin Wushuang said with smile to that young girl, “Sorry for disturbing you for the past few days. In the future, I will repay you for your kindness for saving me.”

That young girl shook her head: “Senior Brother Qin, I am a doctor, it’s my duty to save people.”

“To you, you are healing the dying and the injured, to me, you have saved my life. Young girl, goodbye.” Qin Wushuang cupped his hands into a salute and stepped towards the entrance of the valley in large strides.

“Senior Brother Qin.” Seeing Qin Wushuang walked a few steps, that young girl immediately called out.

Qin Wushuang turned to look: “Yes?”

“Senior Brother Qin, my surname is Shui, you can call me Ruolan.” After that young girl had finished speaking, a blush appeared on her face as she jogged back to her room. She closed the wooden door and leaned against behind it. Her entire body felt hot, her throat dry and her chest heaved up and down at a rapid speed, it was clear she was too embarrassed.

“Ruolan, Ruolan, the scene of this empty valley of serene orchid is only available here, ha ha.” Qin Wushuang gave a light sigh and walked outside the valley. Then, he opened his wings and flew at a swift speed towards the direction of the Tortoise King Mountain.

With just a few hundred miles, even without the wings, Qin Wushuang would not take too long to arrive there. With this pair of flexible contracting wings, it had become even easier for him. In a few flaps, he saw the legendary Tortoise King Mountain.

Indeed, the outer appearance of this Tortoise King Mountain seemed like a giant tortoise cowering there. However, despite its appearance, the elevation of the mountain was not low. Compared to those mountain ranges in the surrounding area, it appeared imposing.

Then he looked around to see that there were a few villages near this Tortoise King Mountain. However, these villages surrounded the Tortoise King Mountain and had great length of distance between them.

Each village was separated by a few hundred miles.

Looking down from above, Qin Wushuang had a great view. He saw that most of these villages had been abandoned and become a dead land.

From this height, they appeared extremely ruined and desolate.

Qin Wushuang looked again at this Tortoise King Mountain and saw that with the strict meteorological feature, there were no evil influences. Inwardly, he found it too strange: “This Tortoise King Mountain has a majestic atmosphere and does not appear to be a place full of evil spiritual presences. Why are most of the villages surrounding it in ruins? Could it be that they could not live around such a place?”

Qin Wushuang withdrew his wings and stopped at the foot of the mountain. Arriving at a completely strange place, safety was the priority as Qin Wushuang was not in a rush to go deeper. Instead, he followed the mountain path and explored the path step by step to the upper areas.

After he had traversed a few segments of the mountain road, suddenly, a woodsman appeared before him. He carried a bundle of wood and whistled a light tune. When he saw Qin Wushuang, this woodsman first stopped and looked at him with alert.

Qin Wushuang said: “Mr. Woodsman, which village are you from?”

That woodman went to touch the axe hang on his chest unconsciously as he said stutteringly: “Why do you care which village I’m from? Who are you, you dared to come to this Tortoise King Mountain? Are you not afraid of dying?”

“You dared to come to chop the trees for wood, could it be that I am not allowed to hunt here?” Qin Wushuang asked a counter question.

Stunned, that woodman retreated to the side of the mountain road and said: “Then you go first.”

Without speaking a word, Qin Wushuang walked slowly to the upper areas. That woodcutter had raised his arm slightly as Qin Wushuang reached him. Almost at the same time, Qin Wushuang bumped directly into the shoulder of that woodcutter with his right elbow lightly.

With a stuffed groan, a wave of serene blue light flew out all of a sudden from that woodcutter. Then, he squeezed his fingers into a fist, took a dozen steps back and looked at Qin Wushuang with full vigilance.
