Everyone in the world knows this saying: Those who come out of Tianmen Mountain may not necessarily be miracle doctors, but miracle doctors must come from Tianmen Mountain!
Doctors can save lives, but they can also take them.
What they are even more proficient in than medicine is poison!
It is rumored that the disciples within Tianmen Mountain can bring the dead back to life. But if you provoke them even slightly, with a casual wave of their hands, there will be no living creatures within a hundred miles!
No one really knows what the truth is.
Twenty years ago, the imperial court couldn't tolerate people with the ability to topple a country. They sent troops several times to hunt them down, hoping to wipe them out.
Out of desperation, the master of the Tianmen Mountain School led all the disciples to flee deep into the burial ground. This place was surrounded by miasma. Those who were not proficient in medicine and poison dared not enter casually.
Those who forced their way in would, at best, be poisoned and have hallucinations. At worst, they would drop dead on the spot!
Going deeper, there was the restricted area of the Tianmen Mountain School. The miasma there was extremely thick. Even the eldest disciple of the Tianmen Mountain School could only withstand it for a maximum of one quarter of an hour.
Thanks to the miasma that had lingered there for years, there were quite a few rare medicinal herbs that outsiders had never even heard of.
Through the hazy green mist, a young woman could be seen walking out merrily, carrying a basket of medicinal herbs on her back.
The woman was dressed in a white robe. Her gentle eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a flower. Her long black hair cascaded down her back. But her steps were steady, exuding a heroic and valiant air.
This was none other than the eleventh personal disciple of the master of the Tianmen Mountain School and his only female disciple, Song Jinyu.
There should have been guards outside the restricted area, but they were nowhere to be seen at the moment. Song Jinyu silently thanked her lucky stars. It was a good thing no one had seen her. Otherwise, she would surely be punished by her master again.
The last time she had to copy the medical books three hundred times, her hand had almost broken off!
She dodged all the way and finally returned to her room. Rubbing her sore shoulders, Song Jinyu happily counted today's harvest.
"Miss, you're finally back! Something has happened in the prefect's mansion. The young mistress had a miscarriage!" Niaoniao rushed into the room out of breath and pulled her up.
Song Jinyu was shocked. Her elder brother and sister - in - law had just gotten married and she was just pregnant. How could she have a miscarriage?
Her mother had died early, and her father was busy with official duties all day. At that time, she was still young. There were only her second aunt and cousin in the family, so her father had to ask her second aunt to manage the household affairs.
When her elder brother got married, the power to manage the household naturally passed into the hands of her sister - in - law.
On the way, Cheng Song told her everything. Only then did Song Jinyu learn that since her sister - in - law had become pregnant, the power to manage the household had returned to her second aunt.
Under her second aunt's "special" care, her sister - in - law ate worse than the servants every day and even had to clean the courtyard by herself. That was why she had a miscarriage.
Song Jinyu slapped the table and stood up, then angrily slammed the door and rushed out.
Just because she, the legitimate daughter, was not around, did they think they could turn the prefect's mansion upside down?
Not long after, a disciple reported within Tianmen Mountain that the little junior sister was missing. Everyone knew that she was the apple of the master's eye!
Hearing this, the master threw down his medical book and issued an order. All the disciples searched the entire Tianmen Mountain, but they couldn't find Song Jinyu. Finally, the eldest disciple found some clues in her room.
"Master, look... this..." Countless poisonous herbs were neatly lying in the basket.
Taking a closer look, the master of Tianmen Mountain almost fainted. Normally, it was common for the little eleventh to sneak into the restricted area. She knew better than anyone what rare medicinal herbs were inside.
In the past, she would just pick some simple poisonous plants to play tricks on her senior brothers. As her master, although he always said he would punish her severely, he would only make her copy the medical books a few times.
But this time, there were all the top - grade poisonous plants raised in the back mountain, and even two stone flowers. It was these two stone flowers that made the master so heart - broken.
They only bloomed once a year, and there was only one flower each time.
They had to be picked at the exact moment when they were fully mature. If you were late, they would turn into smoke. If you picked them too early, they would harden directly and turn into stones, just like they were now.
This girl was obviously taking revenge for the three - hundred - time copying of the medical books last time!
After the heart - ache, the master frowned. Something was wrong!
His little apprentice loved medicinal herbs the most. Why would she leave such rare medicinal herbs behind but disappear herself? Could it be that an outsider had entered this place?
Who dared to bully his little eleventh? That was asking for death! The master waved his long sleeve and ordered, "Go and find out!"
There was chaos within Tianmen Mountain, but the person involved had already fled.
On the way, Song Jinyu stared angrily at the little maid. Finally, Niaoniao couldn't stand it anymore and pleaded bitterly.
"Miss, please stop looking at me like that. It won't be too late for us to come back and get those medicinal herbs in a few days."
Song Jinyu snorted and turned her head away. It was easy for her to say. That poisonous flower was full of treasures. She had wanted to conduct some new experiments, but now it was probably already a stone flower.
If her master found out, she would be lucky if he only made her copy the medical books three hundred times. She might even be soaked in the poisonous pool for three days and three nights!
