How can one find the legendary descendants of the Shennong Family? Currently, there is not a single clue. As for hints and secret codes for communication, there are none. For the geologists who mapped this area at that time, they not only documented the mountains, rivers, and villages but also included important military bases.
This raises a question: cartographers would not mark unimportant military targets. Even if the descendants of Shennong are still hidden in this secluded paradise, they would likely be overlooked due to their ordinary status as mountain dwellers. However, there is an advantage; many sizable villages would be recorded. This provides Wang Jian with convenient conditions to locate these inhabited places using the map index.
Since the intention is to find someone, there must be people who can answer your questions. Even if the person being asked does not know the details, they will still provide some clues. These scattered bits of information are crucial for those seeking medical help without any leads. Conducting reasonable inquiries and filtering through the information will lead to uncovering the truth.
Wang Jian and his companions were able to find this place as a result of visiting several small villages. It is said that there is a master of Miraculous Healing on the mountain, whose medical skills are exceptional but who never leaves home. Anyone with a serious illness or injury can be treated as long as they can carry the patient up the mountain. As for why this is the case, the villagers shake their heads in ignorance.
When inquiring about what this miraculous doctor looks like, everyone had different opinions. Some said it was an Old Immortal, while others claimed it was a young woman. This suggests that none of these seekers of medicine had ever seen the true face of this immortal.
But this is not important; what matters is that there is finally some lead. Everyone has been running around for days now. With hope in sight, how could they wait any longer? If it weren't for Wang Jian's strict orders to ensure sufficient food and sleep, they would have gone up the mountain last night.
For this reason, Li Xin earnestly advised them. "We can stay up all night, but can that miraculous doctor be like us night owls? Secluded masters understand the principles of health preservation; they value working at sunrise and resting at sunset. If we disturb the Old Immortal's rest and he refuses to come down, who will take responsibility for that? You! Or you!?"
Chang Yu, seeing Li Xin so adamant, patted his sword and said, "Refuse to come down!? Dare! We’ll even tie him up and bring him back!"
"Go! Go! Stay wherever it's cool!" Li Xin was infuriated by Chang Yu's eagerness. If they were fortunate enough to find the Old Immortal, they wouldn't even dare speak loudly. "What are you thinking!? Kidnap him!? He’s here treating our Brother; even missing one ingredient could affect the treatment."
Chang Yu thought about it and retorted angrily, "Isn't there a Surgeon in our camp? If he really used the wrong medicine, those experts would notice immediately! How dare he!?"
If they knew that particular medicine was incorrect, would they have come deep into the mountains looking for an immortal? Li Xin looked at him and asked, "Do you even understand!? We might as well just take you back!"
Wang Jian understood that their argument stemmed from their inability to find answers but knew that being anxious would not help with important matters. So he simply told everyone else to go back and rest so they could recharge for tomorrow's work. If this miraculous doctor turned out to be as legendary as described, then tomorrow would be crucial. All preparations should revolve around this premise.
At this moment, Wang Jian was the leader of the search team, and his words were unquestionable orders. Moreover, the earlier argument was purely about the matter at hand, with no personal grudges involved. Thus, they quickly dispersed and went to sleep.
Li Xin turned to leave but returned shortly after. He was the only one in the Special Operations Group unaware of the truth, so he had a lingering concern. The past few days had been busy with compiling materials, leaving him no time to inquire. Since there was nothing going on now, he could take the opportunity to ask.
Wang Jian clearly knew why Li Xin had returned and gestured for him to come over and pour himself some tea. People often said that drinking tea at night would keep one awake, but since he started drinking tea, he had never experienced insomnia. He drank when it was time and would lie down immediately to fall into a deep sleep.
Li Xin sat down without saying a word and began pouring tea for himself. As the storyteller began to speak, his inner questions slowly unraveled. Upon learning that Luzi had suffered severe injuries, he held his teacup for a long time without putting it down. He could not convince himself to believe this was true, yet reality was cruel. The assassin's mission was inherently deadly, and it was certain they would aim for the target's vital points.
However, the scene at that time was too chaotic for anyone to suspect that assassins were mixed in among the Qin Soldiers. Furthermore, the assassin who had been shot and rendered disabled by Wang Jian said nothing, so no one knew who his true target was. Since Luzi held the identity of Brother, it was only logical that he would be the most important target at that moment.
Wang Jian noticed Li Xin's reaction and took the teacup from his hand to refill it with tea. "This information has always been confidential; the outside world only knows that Luzi was killed by an assassin."
Li Xin did not question the leak of information; it was normal for the Qin Army to focus solely on the fleeing assassin as their target at that time. It was precisely because of their eagerness for revenge that they overlooked the fact that there were likely still accomplices lurking in the village. After capturing the culprit, the assassins' accomplices could swagger back to report their situation. However, discussing this now held no significance, so he nodded in understanding.
"Since that's the case, there's something I don't understand. We're out here in these outfits looking for a divine doctor; won't people become suspicious?"
Wang Jian took a sip from his teacup before pointing to his chest and quietly said, "Luzi's injury is here; I believe those assassins hidden among the Soldiers could see it clearly."
Upon seeing where Wang Jian pointed, Li Xin immediately understood that it was near a person's heart. If such an injury created a penetrating wound, unless they could summon someone from Divine Proclamation to steal an elixir of immortality, there would be little hope. Thinking of this made him yearn for meeting the divine doctor tomorrow. In ancient times, people did not have superstitions; Ancient People always believed that deities were real beings.
For injuries like this, mere mortals would certainly be helpless! As long as they found a deity, Luzi would be safe!
With this answer confirmed, Li Xin finally understood the importance of this mission. He stood up and declared, "Even if we have to face blades or fire, we must bring back a divine doctor! Even if it costs us our lives!"
Wang Jian took the initiative to volunteer to search for the divine doctor, expressing to Old General Wang He that if he couldn't find him, he would commit suicide. However, the elder did not allow him to say it out loud. At this moment, seeing Li Xin's firm determination, he stood up and echoed, "This is Luzi's only hope. If we fail... I won't go back!"
Not going back!? Where to?
Li Xin turned and saw Wang Jian's resolute gaze, and immediately understood what this so-called "not going back" referred to.
