Chapter 188 - A Black Iron Dagger Named Shi Ying

Chapter 188 A Black Iron Dagger Named Shi YingThen Yang Changkong takes Li Yong into the main living room of the quadrangle courtyard. Li Yong sees two gray-haired elderly people sitting side by side on the old and broad dark wooden chairs. They are a man and a woman. Although they look haggard, they are hale and hearty.

“Master, Mistress, I have brought Xiaoyong with me.” Yang Changkong says respectfully.

“Grandpa, Grandma.” Tian Baiqing, Tian Hailu and Tian Qiushuang hurry to greet.

They slowly open their muddy eyes together and their dim eyes fall on Li Yong. The old man named Master by Yang Changkong gently waves his hand. Yang Changkong and three female disciples quickly withdraw, leaving Li Yong standing alone in front of them.

“Are you my master?” Li Yong asks suspiciously. He feels that it is like a dream now.

The old man laughs and says in a hoarse voice, “I didn’t choose the wrong person. Li Yong, have you got the secret from the Dragon Jade?”

Li Yong is astonished. The Dragon Jade’s secret is known only by himself. He has never told anyone about it. How does the old man know that? Li Yong tries to calm down his mood and says faintly, “What is the Dragon Jade? What is the secret? What are you talking about, Master?”

“Since you call me Master, it seems that you accept me in your heart. Then I will tell you that when you were just born, I passed on the Dragon Jade to you. You have the opportunities and achievements now because of the Dragon Jade.”

Li Yong says thoughtfully, “Isn’t the Dragon Jade the treasure of the Li Family? The Li Family is the best medical family. How can it be yours?”

“Ha-ha, you are the heir of the Li Family. Why not let you inherit it?” The old man laughs.

“Where are my parents?” Li Yong asks. Although he regards himself as an orphan, he still longs for parental love in his heart. So whenever he has the chance, he will inquire about his father and mother’s whereabouts.

“After you got the Dragon Jade, they were revenged by the family. It was also my carelessness. I have been looking for them all these years. Fortunately, you are not in danger. You should also thank the cripple for protecting you.” The old man says and raises his hand. Then the cripple, who raised Li Yong, walks out of the shadow.

“Young Master.” Seeing Li Yong, the cripple can hardly hide the joy in his heart, so he says happily.

Now the leg of the cripple has been cured by Li Yong. He is not lame at all. Li Yong looks at him and asks again, “Uncle, do you know where my parents are?”

Li Yong has asked the cripple this question several times.

The cripple shakes his head and says with emotion, “They gave you to me in order to save you. The killers went after them. I don’t know where they escaped after separating. At that time, they were seriously injured. I don’t know whether they escaped or not. Young Master, I’m sorry. I’m useless. I couldn’t protect them.”

Li Yong finally believes the cripple. He stretches out his arms and holds the cripple tightly. Li Yong bursts into tears. After a moment, the cripple wipes the tears for Li Yong and continues, “The house has been built at home. When you go back, you can marry.”

The old man raises his hand again and says faintly, “You shouldn’t worry about his marriage. Xiaoyong, don’t be sad. I believe you can find them if you look for them with your heart.”

Li Yong clenches his fist, grits his teeth and says, “I must find them. I will avenge them.”

Yesterday, he advised Hu not to be influenced by hatred. But now he has lost himself in hatred.

The old man laughs and says, “If you want to avenge them, you must have the strength. At present, your strength is still very weak. You have to strive to practice. You have to finish practicing the mental cultivation methods of the Dragon jade perfectly. In fact, there is a shortcut to practice. You can practice by having sex with women. Since more than a decade ago, I have been helping you find women who can practice by having sex with you. Now, I will test for you to see if you can practice by having sex together.”

When the old man says this, Yang Changkong looks at Tian Baiqing, Tian Hailu and Tian Qiushuang. The three women hesitate for a moment and walk forward together, standing next to Li Yong.

The old man looks at the old woman sitting beside him. The old woman stands up with great effort, carrying a big bowl with some clear water. She walks towards Li Yong shakily and says lovingly, “Young man, give me a drop of your blood and drop it in the clear water. Come on, Xiaoyong, you first.”

Li Yong bites his finger and drops a drop of red blood.

Then the old woman walks to the three women and continues, “If your blood is mixed with Xiaoyong’s, you can practice by having sex with him. If your blood isn’t mixed with Xiaoyong’s, you can’t practice by having sex with him.”

Tian Baiqing takes the lead in dropping her blood into the clear water. Her blood is not mixed with Li Yong’s blood. She is overjoyed.

Tian Hailu’s blood isn’t mixed with Li Yong’s blood, either. She is disappointed.

Finally, Tian Qiushuang bites her finger three times for fear of pain.

After dropping into the clear water, a drop of blood is still a drop of blood. Her blood isn’t mixed with Li Yong’s. Tian Qiushuang doesn’t care. But the pain from her fingers keeps her frowning.

“It’s strange that none of their blood can be mixed with Xiaoyong’s blood.” The old woman comes back to the old man and says, “They can’t practice with Xiaoyong. Are we wrong? Can they practice together by having sex when their blood isn’t mixed?”

“How can we make a mistake? Since they can’t, it means we’re not lucky. Never mind. In the future, it will depend on Xiaoyong himself.” The old man sighs continually.

The old woman also sighs a few times. Then she puts the big bowl aside and closes her eyes again.

The old man thinks for a moment, then looks at Li Yong and says expectantly, “Xiaoyong, there is a space in the Dragon Jade and there is a mountain spring in the space. It is said that the spring water there can make people rejuvenate. My wife and I are going to die. We hope that before we die, you can take out a bowl of spring water so that we can live.”

Li Yong takes out the Dragon Jade and looks at it. Then he smiles bitterly and says, “Master, how can there be a mountain spring in it? If there is a mountain spring, how can I get them out? Isn’t it too funny?”

“Yes! At first, it sounds funny but the legend should be true. We don’t know how to get water. I hope you can do it. Come here, Xiaoyong, I’ll give you one thing.”

Li Yong walks to the old man according to his words and sees the old man take out a black iron dagger from his arms and play with it. Then the old man says, “It is a token of Nanshan School’s Host. Today, I will give it to you. From this day on, you are the Host of the Nanshan School.”

“Host.” Just after Li Yong receives the black iron dagger, Yang Changkong kneels down with Tian Baiqing, Tian Hailu and Tian Qiushuang to salute.

Li Yong quickly lifts them up and says with a bitter smile, “Don’t kneel down in this day and age. In the future, no one can kneel down. We are all brothers of the same school. We should be brothers.”

Seeing that Li Yong is not arrogant at all, the old man appreciates him very much. He thinks for a moment and orders again, “Changkong, you should protect him well. Don’t leave him until he is strong.”

“OK.” Yang Changkong hurries to promise.

“The immense sea allows fish to leap at will and the vast sky lets birds fly freely. The world belongs to you. Go for it boldly.” The old man says and waves his hand to signal everyone to leave, and then he closes his eyes tiredly.

After walking out of the dilapidated quadrangle courtyard, Li Yong looks at the black iron dagger in his hand and says, “Senior Brother, I don’t think I have time to be the Host. I still need to find my parents. I have to run a company and hospital. My energy is limited. I’m afraid I can’t take care of it. Why not give it to you? You can be the Host!”

Yang Changkong looks happy. He slowly takes over the black iron dagger. He looks at it carefully but returns it to Li Yong. He sighs, “Xiaoyong, this is what Master meant. The Host can only be you.”

Li Yong sees that Yang Changkong is very interested in being the Host, so he says again, “Senior Brother, Master won’t know. We won’t tell Master. You can be the Host!”

“Senior Brother, you can do it!” Tian Baiqing also advises.

Yang Changkong stares at the black iron dagger for several seconds and finally says, “No, we can’t go against Master’s will.”

Li Yong sighs and says, “Okay! Although I am the Host, I have no time to deal with the affairs. If there is anything, don’t bother me.”

“Well, if we don’t encounter any major problems, we’ll try not to bother you.” Yang Changkong laughs and says.

“Well, let’s go back quickly. I have to go to work in the morning.” Li Yong says and gets on the car.

On the way, Yang Changkong looks at the black iron dagger in Li Yong’s hand from time to time and says meaningfully, “Xiaoyong, the name of this dagger is Shi Ying. It’s not made of iron or wood. I don’t know what the material is. However, it is not a weapon to kill people but an antidote to all poisons.”

“Can it detoxify? How does it detoxify?” Li Yong looks at the dagger carefully and asks with doubts.

“It can detoxify after soaking it in water.” Yang Changkong says earnestly, “Our Nanshan School is a medical school. Shi Ying can not only detoxify but also treat some diseases.”

“Can it treat diseases? How does it treat diseases?” Li Yong becomes more puzzled.

“It can treat diseases as long as it is boiled in water.” Yang Changkong laughs and says.

“Are you kidding?” Li Yong doesn’t believe him at all. It’s too ridiculous. It can detoxify after soaking in the water. It can treat diseases after being boiled in the water. If it is so amazing, what will doctors and hospitals do?

“Look.” Then Yang Changkong picks up Shi Ying and stabs himself in the arm. His arm bleeds immediately. He takes out the dagger and puts it on his wound. Soon, the blood stops bleeding and the wound scars. It’s too amazing.

Li Yong’s eyes widen. He opens his clairvoyant vision. In his eyes, there is a faint white light on the surface of Shi Ying, which plays a role in healing the wound.

Although Li Yong doesn’t understand why the black dagger can emit a faint white light, he no longer doubts the magical effect of the dagger. He solemnly puts Shi Ying in his arms as if getting a treasure and then he says, “It’s a good thing.”

“Yes, if it is not a good thing, it will not become the treasure of our Nanshan School.” Yang Changkong says.
