Chapter 423 Recognizing Lin Xi as the Master
"The poison developed by Xiao Yuanyuan is really useful!"
Lin Xi jumped down from the tree, muttered something, and then walked over to the bandits to check.
After making sure that everyone was dead, Lin Xi put the gold, silver and other items he had searched from them into the boundary bead, and then walked towards the mansion in a swagger.
"Well, I've gotten rid of those bandits. You're free!"
Lin Xi returned to the mansion, kicked open the door of the room that was locked by the people before, reached out to help them untie the ropes, and smiled at them.
The few people regained their freedom, tore off the black cloth covering their eyes and the rag stuffed in their mouths, and looked at Lin Xi in disbelief.
The old man held the kid's hand tightly, walked up to Lin Xi and asked, "Girl, are all those bandits really dead?"
"They are dead. I poisoned them. Their bodies are still at the entrance of the valley. You can go and have a look. Now everyone is safe and can go out!"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she turned and walked outside. She did not leave the house, but opened the doors one by one, put all the little bugs in the corpse pool into a bottle, plugged the bottle mouth, and threw it into the boundary bead.
The people rescued by Lin Xi saw the situation inside the house, their eyes suddenly widened, and their faces turned pale in an instant. The old man was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and with trembling hands he covered the eyes of the little boy next to him.
Before they were captured, they could hear screams coming from the house from time to time, and they knew that the people who were brought in earlier must have died. However, when they saw these unrecognizable corpses, they were still greatly shocked. They simply could not accept such a scene in their hearts. What sin had their fellow tribesmen committed to deserve such pain and torture!
"Let's go and see how many of our tribesmen are still alive, and discuss what to do next!"
The old man sighed deeply and spoke with trembling lips.
After saying that, he turned around and staggered outside. Seeing this, the other people hurried forward to support him and walked out of the house together.
After they left, Lin Xi walked to the patterns in the center of the yard again. She looked at the stone pillar that was glowing with black light, held her chin and thought for a while, then she circulated her spiritual power, pulled up the stone pillar, and threw it into a corner of the boundary bead.
After putting away the stone pillars, Lin Xi pried up the bluestone slabs with patterns carved on them, wanting to see if there was anything else underneath.
It turned out that there was just ordinary ground under these stone slabs, nothing special. Lin Xi waved at the stone slabs, and the bluestone slabs instantly turned into stone foam. She clapped her hands and walked out of the yard.
As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw Ermao and his grandfather standing on the road shouting, "Fellow villagers, come out quickly, those bad guys are dead! Come out quickly!"
The few people who were rescued by Lin Xi earlier sat weakly on the ground, each holding a bowl of water in their hands and drinking it in small sips.
After hearing Ermao and his grandfather's voices, after a while, someone tentatively opened the gate, stuck his head out and looked carefully at the road.
"Don't be afraid, those bad guys are dead, come out!"
Ermao’s grandfather saw his tribesmen sticking their heads out and waved and shouted at them.
When everyone saw that there were indeed no bad guys on the road except Ermao, his grandfather, the clan leader's family, and a little girl, they turned around and shouted towards their own yards, asking their families to come out quickly.
After a while, all the survivors gathered together. Big Head's grandfather told them the whole story from beginning to end. Then they went to the entrance of the valley to look at the bodies of the bandits. Only after they were sure that they were all dead did they feel relieved.
Everyone walked up to Lin Xi and knelt down in front of her.
"Thank you for saving my life, girl!"
"Girl, if it weren't for you, our entire village would have died out!"
"Girl, wait here for a while. We usually go up the mountain to collect herbs and store some precious herbs. We will bring them to you as a thank you gift!"
......
Everyone kowtowed to Lin Xi and thanked her repeatedly, then got up and ran back to their home, took out all the precious herbs that were stored in the secret room, brought them to Lin Xi, and asked her to accept them.
"It just so happens that I know medical skills, so I won't be polite to you all. I'll take these herbs!"
Lin Xi put all the herbs they sent into a big bag and carried it on his back.
Hearing Lin Xi say that she knew medical skills, Big Head's grandfather winked at the young man next to him, and the young man turned around and ran towards his home. After a while, he came back carefully holding a stack of books.
Grandpa Datou took the book with some effort, walked to Lin Xi, and said, "Girl, these are some medical books handed down by our ancestors. Since you know medical skills, I'll give them to you. You are a very capable person, and these medical books will be more useful in your hands than in ours!"
Lin Xi's eyes lit up, he took the book, flipped through a few pages, and exclaimed in his heart that he had found a treasure!
This is the medical experience passed down from generation to generation in a medical family. Things like this are treated as heirlooms, and outsiders are not allowed to even take a look at them.
"Do you want to copy this book, or I can copy it and return the books to you!"
Lin Xi touched the medical books lovingly and asked the old man.
"No need, girl. The contents of this book have been deeply engraved in our minds. We can just write them down when we have time."
The old man saw the love and cherishment in Lin Xi's eyes and smiled. It seemed that the medical book was the right gift.
During his grandfather's generation, there was an elder in the clan who was very skilled in divination. He predicted that their family would be exterminated in the future, so his grandfather, as the clan leader, led all the clan members to live in seclusion in this valley. Unexpectedly, they still could not avoid the disaster, and out of so many clan members, only they were left.
But fortunately, it was not as the elder had predicted, the whole family was wiped out and no one was left alive. Could this girl be the noble person that the elder had asked them to wait for?
The elder said that only if a noble person came, their family would have the possibility of continuing, and only by taking refuge in this valley could they meet their noble person.
While the big-headed grandpa was lost in thought, he heard Lin Xi's voice: "Grandpa, thank you for your gift. I'm going to deal with the bodies of those bandits. Goodbye!"
Lin Xi bowed to Big Head Grandpa and said, then he smiled at the other villagers and strode towards the valley entrance.
Grandpa Datou looked at Lin Xi's back, walked up to the tribesmen, and said solemnly: "Fellow villagers, this girl should be the noble person we are waiting for. According to our ancestral teachings, we must go out of the valley to serve her as our master in order to ensure the continuation of the family!"
After hearing what Big Head Grandpa said, the young people all turned their attention to their elders. They had vaguely heard their elders mention this matter, but they didn't know it very clearly.
After hearing what Grandpa said, several old men who were about the same age as Grandpa Head bowed to him without any hesitation and said, "Everything is up to the clan leader!"
When they were young, they lived a life of luxury. At that time, they were puzzled as to why their family suddenly moved to this valley to escape from the world. Now they had really encountered a disaster, and the time of the disaster was almost the same as what the elder had calculated. Although they made a lot of preparations and every household dug a secret room, they still could not escape.
They no longer had any objection to the actions of that elder and the previous patriarch, and decided to follow the arrangements of the current patriarch and act in accordance with the ancestral teachings.
"Okay, then everyone go back and pack your things. I'll go tell the master about this!"
In Big Head Grandpa's mouth, Lin Xi has become their master.
"Yes, patriarch!"
Everyone agreed and went home to pack their luggage.
Big Head Grandpa also returned to his yard with his family. After entering the secret room and taking out the ancestral teachings left by his elders, he walked towards the entrance of the valley tremblingly.
At this time, Lin Xi was at the entrance of the valley. He threw the bodies of the bandits into the forest nearby, and then took the corpse-dissolving potion he had just taken out of the boundary bead and sprinkled it on the bodies of the bandits.
After the potion was poured on the corpse, a white mist suddenly rose up, and the bones, skin, and flesh gradually turned into a pool of blood under the corrosion of the potion.
Lin Xi had an oversized mask on his face. After pouring the medicine, he quickly retreated to a distance. The smell was really unpleasant.
She wrinkled her nose, feeling a little nauseous. This was even though she was wearing a mask. If she hadn't worn a mask and stood in front of those corpses and smelled the smell, she would have vomited.
It was better when Xiao Que was here. A fire would burn the corpses to ashes in an instant, and there would be no smoke to attract other people's attention.
At first, she considered setting the body on fire, but she was afraid that it would produce too much smoke and attract the attention of other bandits. After thinking it over, she decided to use corpse-dissolving water.
"Bai Ji greets the master!"
As soon as Lin Xi came out of the woods, she saw Big Head’s grandfather walking towards her, but what he said surprised her too much. When did she become his master?
"Grandpa Bai, please stand up. Did you recognize the wrong person? We have never met before, and I am only twelve years old. How could I be your master?"
Lin Xi bent down and helped Bai Ji, who was kneeling in front of her, up, and said with a smile.
"I didn't recognize the wrong person. Young lady is the master that our entire Bai family has been waiting for. This is the legacy of our ancestors. Young lady will understand it after reading it!"
Bai Ji stood up, bent down and respectfully handed the yellowed paper in his hand to Lin Xi.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Lin Xi's eyes. He reached out to take it, gently opened the paper, and read it carefully.
No way, there is such a thing!
After reading the Bai family's legacy in his hand, Lin Xi widened his eyes in surprise, looking quite unbelievable.
However, thinking about all the fantastic things she had encountered since she traveled to this world, she easily accepted that she was the noble person that the Bai family had been waiting for.
It is possible that the ancestor of the Bai family was also a cultivator, and was an immortal who was good at divination.
She looked up at Bai Ji, who was standing respectfully in front of her with white hair, and thought secretly: It would be good to accept these people. Judging from the previous medical books and the ancestral teachings, the Bai family is a medical family, and there have been many famous doctors among their ancestors. I can take them back to Linshan Village and let them teach medical skills to the villagers. I can also discuss more with them and improve my own medical skills.
After thinking about it, Lin Xi folded up the ancestral precepts and handed it back to Bai Ji. He looked at him and asked seriously, "If you accept me as your master, you must leave this valley where you live and come back to live in my village. Have you thought about it?"
"Master, this is natural. We are hiding here just to wait for your arrival. Of course, we must serve you and obey your orders!"
Bai Ji looked up at Lin Xi and said with a smile.
"Is it possible that your medical skills can be passed on to others?"
After hearing Bai Ji's words, Lin Xi nodded, looked at him and continued to ask.
"As long as the master tells us to, we can spread it. According to our ancestors' teachings, after we, the Bai family, recognize the master, all the rules of doing things will be in accordance with the master's orders. All the previous rules of the Bai family are invalid!"
Bai Ji looked at Lin Xi and answered respectfully.
Before his grandfather passed away, he once said that under the leadership of their future master, their Bai family would become the largest medical family in the world. As long as they followed the master, they would be able to prosper forever!
"Okay, in that case, I'll give you two hours to pack your bags and collect the bodies of your tragically killed clansmen. I also need to check on other bandits nearby. I'll come back to pick you up in two hours!"
Lin Xi said with a smile, and then he looked at Baiji's pale face and weak body, frowned slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind. He took out a few bottles of body-strengthening pills from the boundary bead and handed them to Baiji.
"This is a pill I made to strengthen your body. It is extremely good for your health. Divide it among you. You still have to follow me on the mountain trail in two hours!"
Bai Ji did not refuse this time. He took the porcelain bottles, thanked Lin Xi gratefully, and carefully stuffed the other bottles into his sleeve pocket, leaving only one in his hand. He pulled out the cork, poured out a few pills from the bottle, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them all with his head tilted back.
Seeing that he was no longer on guard against her like before and refused to take the medicine she gave him, Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction and said: You go back, I'm leaving, wait for me here in two hours!
Then he disappeared in a flash.
Bai Ji bowed respectfully in the direction where Lin Xi disappeared, then strode towards the village.
The pills taken by the master are really effective. After taking them for such a short time, he felt that his physical condition had improved a lot.
Bai Ji looked down at the light legs and couldn't help but sigh. He became more and more convinced that Lin Xi was their master.
"Dad, why did you come back alone? Where is the master?"
As soon as Bai Ji walked into his yard, his son Bai Zhi came up to him. Seeing that there was no one behind him, Bai Zhi asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Master has something to do and will be back in two hours. Have you packed everything?"
Baiji stroked his beard and looked at his son and laughed. Because he was in a good mood, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be less than usual.
