Midnight, the darkest time of the day, there is no moon in the sky.

Wu Ma Xin walked out along the main road, full of doubts. Who is this Gao Xuesong? He taught me to play beast chess, not because he wanted to trap me, but because he wanted me to know how to abide by the rules of the game. What's the matter with that blue skink? Why did it help me?

Several dark shadows floated in the sky, making strange noises.

Wu Ma Xin found an open space and sat down, and pulled out a few fire bats with his fingers. The fire bats circled around, and finally there was a glimmer of light, and this light made people drowsy.

......

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright. It was uncultivated wasteland, and the weeds were more than half a man's height. Wu Ma Xin shook off a handful of dew from the grass and moistened his lips. If you go on like this, when will you be able to reach Yangzhai?

In the weeds, a cow can be seen lying among the weeds, seemingly sleeping.

I'm really hungry. If you catch this cow and roast it, it should be a delicious thing. Wu Ma Xin cautiously touched the cow, manipulating the wood element along the way, and the weeds naturally separated to the sides, without making a sound at all.

When he approached, Wu Ma was a little dumbfounded. Where is this cow, it is clearly a monster with a bull head and a human body. The monster was tall and muscular, but lay unconscious on the ground, with a puddle of white foam running from its mouth.

Poisoning?

Wu Ma's first reaction was like this.

He has the antidote in his body, and the ruthless blood flowing in his body is the nemesis of all poisons. However, he can't use it, and he needs to use life-changing herbs to heal him when he is hit by the ruthless blood. Besides, it's not a healing, it's clearly a life for a life, exchanging someone else's life for your life.

Wu Ma Xin gently patted the monster lying on the ground: "Are you okay?" The monster's body moved, trying to open its eyes, but it didn't open after several attempts. Only his heavy gasps could be heard.

"Can you hear me?"

"Whew. ”

"Are you poisoned?"

"Whew. ”

"Do you know where the antidote is?"

"Whew. The monster gasped and tried to point it to the witch horse's heart, but its body couldn't move at all.

The monster's fingers trembled slightly, as if to point the way. Wu Maxin followed his fingers, and there was a handful of colorful weeds growing there.

"You mean there's an antidote over there?"

"Whew. ”

Wu Ma was taken aback, could it be that he knew that he would be poisoned, and he pointed out the direction of the antidote with his hand before he fell to the ground? Oh, or maybe he was looking for an antidote after he was poisoned, but he passed out before he could take it off.

"Is that green tree an antidote?"

"Hoo ......"

"The yellow one?"

"Hoo ......"

"The red one?"

"Whew. ”

"Are you sure?" Wu Ma's heart suddenly came to his senses, he didn't expect him to be so deeply poisoned, and his brain was still so clear, "Are you sure it's the grass with red grains?"

"Whew. ”

Wu Ma Xin ran over excitedly to pick the grass, gathered a few drops of moisture, and put it in the palm of his hand to grind it. The red grass was crushed into a paste, and Wu Maxin opened the monster's mouth with his hand and poured the juice into it.

"Whew. The monster let out a long breath, its whole body trembled, and then with a "wow", it spat out a puddle of black water, and its face gradually returned to blood.

Wu Ma Xin helped him up, and a stream of water condensed from the air, flowing down his index finger into the monster's mouth. The monster rinsed its mouth a few times, spit out all the black water remaining in its mouth, and then slowly sat up.

"Thank you, little brother. The monster smiled and said to Wu Ma Xin, "If it weren't for the help of my little brothers, I'm afraid I would have buried me here as flower fertilizer." ”

Huh? He can speak? Uh, exactly, he can speak human language?

Of course. Wu Ma's heart reacted instantly. He was the first to see the head of a cow, so he had a preconceived idea that it was a cow, and when he saw the cow with a human body, he would of course think it was a monster. When he sat up, Wu Ma Xin could see clearly that this was a person, but he had a bull's head. This man was about forty or fifty years old.

The first thing you see often determines what you think.

Wu Ma clenched his fists and said, "Dare to ask why my brother is poisoned and lying here?

"Definitely. The man smiled, "My name is Jiang Yan, and I am poisoned almost every day, and sometimes I have to be hit dozens of times a day, but this time it is a little dangerous, haha." ”

"Poisoned every day?" Wu Ma was confused.

Jiang Yan smiled: "Yes, because I am a doctor in Shenzhou, I have to taste hundreds of herbs every day, and poisoning is naturally commonplace." ”

"Taste hundreds of herbs a day?"

"Haha, yes. Jiang Yan said, "In the past, I was a eater in Shenzhou. At that time, the people of Shenzhou relied on hunting to survive, and the birds in the sky became fewer and fewer, and the animals on the ground became thinner and thinner, and people often went hungry. So I set out to help everyone find food, and it was not easy to find something safe to eat and satisfy their hunger among the flowers and plants. Fortunately, with God's help, I was able to identify the grains and find a way to plant them. ”

Wu Ma was in awe, this can definitely be called a great sage.

Jiang Yan didn't feel anything, and continued: "If people eat whole grains, they will inevitably get sores and diseases, and they will shed their skin if they don't die. Although China is big, there is no medicine, and I saw it in my eyes, and my heart was anxious, so I became a doctor again. Shenzhou is a big land, flowers and plants are everywhere, I don't know their cold, hot and warm medicinal properties, and I don't know the sour, bitter, sweet and salty medicinal taste, let alone apply medicine because of illness. So I tasted the herbs every day and wrote them down in detail: which herbs were bitter, which ones were hot, which ones were cold, which ones were sufficient for hunger, and which ones were for healing. Write down the medicinal properties, feel the ups and downs, experience the visceral return to the meridians, and finally accumulate a large number of usable herbs. ”

Wu Ma Xin hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Mr. Dade, please accept the next bow." ”

"Haha. Jiang Yan waved his hand, "What are you worshiping me for, just now I put a piece of grass in my mouth and tasted it, and the sky spun in an instant, and I fell headlong, if you hadn't rescued me in time, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago, it stands to reason that I worship you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Wu Ma waved his hand again and again, "This really bothers me." ”

"Okay, then we won't worship anyone, just sit down and have a good chat. ”

"Yes. Wu Ma nodded repeatedly.

He couldn't help but think of the King of Medicine, it seems that all doctors are like this, if they are not crazy, they will not become great doctors.

Jiang Yan smiled: "Just listen to me, I didn't even ask the name of the little brother." ”

"In the heart of Xia Wu Ma, from Duanguo. Wu Ma said respectfully.

Jiang Yan frowned and said, "You are from Duanguo?"

"Exactly. ”

"Are you a descendant of Wuma Pingchuan?"

"Yes. ”

"Haha. Jiang Yan suddenly laughed, "It seems that the world is really small, I didn't expect to turn around and turn back." ”

Wu Ma asked in surprise, "Do you know Wu Ma Pingchuan?"

"I can't talk about acquaintance. Jiang Yan said, "Once when I was tasting poisonous weeds, I happened to meet Wuma Pingchuan, and he saved me. Alas, I can't imagine that many years later, you saved me again, and it seems that I am destined to owe you the Wuma family. ”

Wu Ma waved his hand again and again: "You are serious, you take risks for the world, this is the person of great virtue and great sage." ”

"What is virtuous or not, holy is not holy. Jiang Yan said, "Some people murder others for their own personal gain, and there will be people who benefit the common people for the sake of the way of the world, this is the way." ”

Wu Ma Xin arched his hand and said, "I have been taught below." ”

"What is teachable and untaught. Jiang Yan said, "I treat the diseases of the common people in the world, and you heal the injuries of the five clans, and you are also a doctor, I'm afraid you are much higher than me, haha." ”

Wu Ma was ashamed for a while, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Alas," Jiang Yan said, "your Wuma family has saved me twice in succession, but I don't have anything good to give you, you can take this grass." With that, Jiang Yan took out a black grass and shimmered it. He stuffed the grass into Wu Maxin's hand and said, "This grass is called Mi, you may be able to use it in the future." ”

"Isn't it confusing?"

"Haha, when you need to make a choice, you might as well put this grass in your mouth, which can naturally relieve the confusion in your heart. ”

"Yes, thank you. ”

Jiang Yan moved his body for a while, and it seemed that he was fine, and said to Wu Ma Xin: "I'm leaving, the road ahead is dangerous, you should be cautious and careful." ”

"Yes. ”

It wasn't until Jiang Yan's back with a huge bull's head disappeared that Wu Ma Xin turned around and continued to walk forward. A bunch of dark shadows flew out of his head again, the same as he had seen in the middle of the night.

What kind of bird is this?

Wu Ma was a little curious, and couldn't help but follow. Soon, the birds flew to the seashore, threw the stone in their mouths into the sea, and then turned and flew back.

It's strange that these birds come all the way to throw stones into the sea.

When he was wondering, a voice like thunder sounded next to him: "What's so strange about this, this bird is called Jingwei, and the title stone is just to fill in the revenge." ”

"Revenge?" Wu Ma looked around, but saw no one, only two tall and thick trunks wrapped in blue cloth.

"That's right. The Emperor's daughter drowned while playing in the sea, so she turned into this bird. The voice continued, "This bird lives and dies to fill the sea in revenge for death. ”

Wu Ma's heart turned around again, but he still didn't see a figure, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Why are you hiding and not daring to come out and speak?"

"Haha. The sound of laughter was like thunder, "I'm right here, it's just that you're too young to look at me." ”

Too small? Wu Ma Xin looked at the two tree trunks again, and sure enough, they turned out to be two human legs. He looked up and saw a giant towering above the clouds, with a wide nose and a wide mouth, and two front teeth almost larger than his body.
