At this moment, there was tension in the mountains, and Qin Chuan didn't dare to speak beside him, watching the other party's weapons glow in the light of the torches.

Seeing this, Lao Dao bowed slightly and said: "Brothers, don't misunderstand, I and the young apprentices chose to live in this mountain and wild Taoist temple, and I also have a little understanding of the evil diseases in this mountain, I saw a few brothers next to the mule cart standing up and swaying, and when you breathe and breathe, you are weak, especially you still have many people who cover their faces with black scarves, but do not cover up the clothes of the dart game, although I don't know which dart game you are for, but I have a calculation in my heart, guessing that you are caused by the miasma. ”

Miasma is the poisonous gas in the mountains. The mountains and woods here are luxuriant, and the rotten gas cannot be discharged and is congested here, and the weak will inevitably be contaminated with miasma when passing through this place, so that the whole body is weak and it is difficult to breathe.

Hearing Lao Dao's words, the leader was half-convinced, and the knife in his hand was still pointing at Lao Dao and the young boy.

A masked man in a black scarf beside the mule cart asked anxiously at this moment: "Dare to ask the Taoist, there is a way to solve the miasma." We waited for the delivery of the darts, the previous journey was delayed for a while, counting the date, it was already not enough, and because I was infected with miasma, the trip was delayed, if this continues, only some people can go first. ”

Qin Chuan knows that this dart game walks in the martial arts rivers and lakes, and pays attention to a righteous word, if it is promised to deliver the goods to the owner at the time, it cannot be later than the time, even if it is delivered at the right time, it is also a bad rule. But according to the situation at this moment, if some people are allowed to transport the darts first, then the few people who are infected with the miasma, if their condition deteriorates, must be weak in their limbs, and I am afraid that they will be eaten by fierce beasts before they can get out of this mountain.

On one side is the rules, and on the other side is the morality. When the few people next to him heard this, they were also silent, not knowing what to say.

Lao Dao naturally saw what was happening, so he said in a round game: "Lao Dao, I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I am naturally familiar with birds and animals, flowers, plants, trees, medicines, etc., so there is also a solution to this miasma, I don't know if I can let Lao Dao give it a try?"

Hearing Lao Dao's words, one of the scarfaces refused: "Boss, in this barren mountain and wilderness, don't trust others." I don't know where the two people came out of nowhere, and they actually said that they wanted to solve the miasma for us, and I think that if they are not charlatans, they are people with evil intentions. If they are not driven away, I am afraid that there will be enemies in ambush here. ”

After all, if you don't watch out, when the time comes, you will be trapped, and you will be empty, and you will not be able to account for it.

When Qin Chuan heard this, he also replied quite unhappily: "I came here today just to pass by, but in your eyes, I have become a villain, leave a line when you speak, and we will see each other in the future." Don't spew blood. ”

Hearing that Lao Dao was ready to help, but was suspected by everyone, Qin Chuan's heart was naturally angry.

"Yes, big brother, these two people have come out of nowhere, we have to watch out. In the team of the dart game, there was another person holding a knife, and he ignored Qin Chuan and said.

At this moment, the mountain leader was silent, and everyone was looking at the white-haired old man in the lead, and the white-haired old man frowned, obviously he was also entangled. As the leader of the dart game, the first task is to prevent problems before they happen, if it is so simple to enter the team of the dart game, it is too dangerous, but if you don't try, these brothers of the dart game, whether they can come out alive is still two words.

Lao Dao glanced at the few people beside the mule cart from a distance, and said to the white-haired leader: "Look at their faces, they have begun to turn black at this moment, if you don't hurry up and try, I'm afraid you won't last tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone turned around and looked at Lao Dao's eyes, and in some places where the black scarf mask was not completely covered, it was indeed seen that there was a difference, especially the corners of the eyes had begun to darken, so it seemed that what Lao Dao said was true.

But if you let Lao Dao get close to the people and darts in the dart game because of this, everyone can still rest assured.

The white-haired old man who led the dart game seemed to have made up his mind at this moment and said, "Dao Chief, if you have a way, please come to the rescue." ”

Lao Dao bowed and said, "I am a returnee, so naturally I will do my best." ”

The white-haired old man of the dart game continued: "It's just that the dart game has the rules of the dart game, I will bring these brothers here, if you are cured, you can rest in this mountain, but if you can't cure it, ......." The white-haired old man paused for a moment, but stared at Qin Chuan and continued: "Then we can only find another place." ”

The meaning of the white-haired old man is very obvious, if the old man dares to play tricks, this little Taoist boy will definitely not be able to run away.

Being stared at like this, Qin Chuan was a little flustered, but he didn't take a step back.

The scarface next to him saw that the leader had agreed, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "Boss, we have so many brothers in the dart game, you have to think twice." ”

The white-haired leader put the knife away, waved his hand at the scarred man, and said, "Let them try, do their best, and know the destiny of heaven, otherwise we will feel guilty in our hearts." If it really doesn't work, I can leave the two brothers with me at that time, and the others can follow me to deliver the goods first. ”

Hearing what the white-haired leader said, everyone else put away their weapons, and the people next to the mule cart not far away also walked over with the support of the other brothers, and they were grateful to the old man.

If the miasma has not been cured, I am afraid that I will have to explain it here.

Seeing this, Lao Dao said to the few people in front of him: "You take off the black face towel and wait for me to take a serious look." ”

Several people in the dart bureau took off the black scarf, and when everyone saw this, sure enough, their faces were already starting to turn black, obviously because the miasma had entered the body. A few people next to him took two steps back and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, for fear of being infected.

Lao Dao lifted the robe, turned to Qin Chuan and said, "Rabbit cub, do you remember how to solve this miasma?"

Everyone in the dart game was taken aback, it turned out that this old man himself would not know, and he still wanted to ask this yellow-haired child, is this not obvious and amusing everyone in the dart game? The man with the scar wanted to step forward with a knife, but was stopped by the white-haired old man.

Qin Chuan didn't seem to be afraid of this miasma, took a few steps forward, glanced at a few people in the dart game who were suffering from the miasma, raised his head and said to Lao Dao: "For this kind of miasma, you can mix the snake spirit grass with angelica leaves." ”

When Qin Chuan first came to the Taoist temple, he ate snake spirit grass and angelica leaves every day, and in less than five years, every time he passed by the miasma land, he didn't have to have any precautions, so Qin Chuan was quite familiar with the treatment of miasma. However, all of this was told by Lao Dao when Qin Chuan was a child.

"Not bad. You remember. I thought I was so drunk that I forgot about it. The old man praised Qin Chuan, and said to the white-haired old man: "Please always borrow us a torch, and we will go back to find some herbs." ”

Without waiting for the white-haired head of the dart bureau to answer, the man with the scar spoke: "This snake spirit grass and angelica leaves are both common and available, and the two can be mixed together to treat miasma, why don't I know? ”

The white-haired general of the dart bureau smiled, shook his head and said to the scar man: "Old Five, you follow the Taoist leader to find this snake spirit grass and Angelica Angelica leaves, whether you can cure it or not, we will know when you come back." ”

It turned out that this man with a scar was ranked fifth in the family.

When the scar man heard what the white-haired leader said, he was stunned for a moment and agreed: "Okay, I'll come when I go." ”

Lao Dao looked around and said to Qin Chuan: "The snake spirit grass has two leaves, and the colors are different, one is yin-loving, facing the mountain, and the other is yang-loving, which is towards the sunrise. Therefore, along the mountain line, it is bound to be easy to find. ”

Qin Chuan asked, "How did you find Angelica Angelica leaves?"

"Angelica leaves like to rely on the trees to survive, and when you look at it, under the roots of the trees, you will inevitably find it. After speaking, Lao Dao had already started and walked towards the mountain line.

Qin Chuan asked for a torch from the person next to him, walked side by side with the scar man, and also followed.

The man with the scar asked behind him: "Hey, Oxnose Old Dao, this snake spirit grass and angelica leaves can cure miasma, why don't I know? If you lie to me, I won't let you get out of here alive." ”

The old Taoist said without replying: "If it is in an ordinary place, this snake spirit grass and angelica leaves will definitely not be able to treat the miasma, but the miasma here can only be dealt with the medicine here, this snake spirit grass and angelica leaves are a perfect match!"

When the scar man heard this, he snorted coldly: "Pretend to be a ghost, hurry up and find this thing, I'll rest early tonight!"

After walking a few hundred steps, on a mountain range, Qin Chuan held a torch and searched one by one, and the old man and the man with the scar followed behind, without saying a word.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan pointed to one place and asked, "Is this a snake spirit grass?" I saw a few green grasses with two leaves, one purple and the other cyan.

Seeing this, Lao Dao squatted down and looked at it for a while and said: "Yes, it is this thing, you should be careful when you take it, you must pull it directly from the root, but you can't pinch two leaves directly, otherwise it will lose its medicinal effect." ”

"Well, got it. Qin Chuan agreed, casually put the torch on the ground, and used his fingers to deduct the roots of the snake spirit grass.

After a while, Qin Chuan held up the five snake spirit grasses and asked, "Is that so much enough?"

Lao Dao squinted his eyes and said: "Originally, one or two plants were enough, this thing is strong, if you eat too much, it will be very toxic." But since you have deducted them all, then take them all, and check their situation later, if the miasma is very serious, you can only use a few more. ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he put the five snake spirit grasses in the cloth bag he carried, and the three of them turned around for a long time, and the old Taoist saw the change of moonlight in the sky, pointed to a fir tree and said, "Go ahead, there must be angelica leaves underneath." ”

The man with the scar asked curiously, "Old Dao Niubi, how did you know that there are Angelica Angelica leaves underneath this?"

Lao Dao smiled, pointed to the moonlight and said: "The angelica leaves in this mountain absorb the aura of the moonlight, so the place where the moonlight is the worst naturally has this angelica leaf." I have been waiting in the mountains for a long time, and although I don't know anything about the outside world, I am quite familiar with this grass. ”

When Qin Chuan heard what Lao Dao said, he raised his hand and turned around, and sure enough, at the bottom of the root of the tree, he found a few flowers covered with white leaves, but the middle of the flowers was yellow.

Lao Dao looked at Angelica Leaf and said: "This Angelica Leaf only needs to take the leaves, and other places are of little use." If it's too troublesome, you can take it all together. ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he grabbed the angelica leaf and pulled it hard to uproot the angelica leaf.

Seeing that the snake spirit grass and angelica leaves had been found, the three of them turned around and walked towards the people beside the fire.

Seeing Lao Dao and the others coming, the white-haired general of the dart bureau hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Dao Chief, can you find the snake spirit grass and angelica leaves?"

Lao Dao glanced at Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan reached out and took it out of the cloth bag.

Lao Dao pointed to the medicinal herbs and explained to everyone: "This snake spirit grass can't be put too much at a time, otherwise it will be highly poisonous, if the poison enters the heart, this can be a lack of magic." Wait a moment and I'll see if I'm going to check it out."

Lao Dao said that he held the torch, and let the guy who was suffering from miasma in the dart bureau stretched out his right hand, looked at the place on his chest again, thought for a moment and said: "The miasma has reached the bloodline, but it has not yet reached the heart, this snake spirit grass, you can use two plants." Put down all the angelica leaves to protect the meridians of the whole body. ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he asked for a clay pot from the side, put down the two snake spirit grasses, took out all the angelica leaves from the cloth bag, picked off the leaves separately and put them in, took a spoonful of spring water handed over by others, and roasted them in the fire.

The bearer of the dart bureau looked at it, and still asked uneasily: "Dao Chief, will this snake spirit grass be put too much?"

Lao Dao touched his beard and said with a smile: "No, the weight of this snake spirit grass is just right, if it is lighter, the miasma cannot be cured; if it is heavy, it will poison into the lungs, rest assured, I am waiting here, naturally there is nothing to do." ”

Seeing that Lao Dao was so confident, everyone's hearts relaxed and began to look in the direction of the fire.

At this time, a man in the dart bureau who was infected with miasma said: "Dao Chief, if you cure the miasma disease tonight, such a life-saving grace, my Wang Dagui will be rewarded, as long as we can do it, we will never give up!"

Lao Dao asked: "Where do you end up going with the dart?" I want to rush to Qingzhou City with the young apprentice, if you stop by, you can take us all the way. ”

At this time, the head of the dart bureau took over: "If it can cure the suffering of miasma, it is naturally easy to say." ”

There was no need to wait for a long time, a smell of medicine came from the clay pot, and Lao Dao said: "Take the medicine and cold it, and everyone should drink it." ”

The people who were suffering from miasma couldn't wait for a long time, and despite the boiling of the medicinal soup, they blew a few mouthfuls and went down.

At first, I only felt a warm flow in my stomach, but then for some reason, I only felt nauseous, and I vomited a mouthful of black blood and fainted.

The head of the dart bureau hurriedly stepped forward to check, and saw that the people lying down were steady, so he was relieved.

Lao Dao explained beside him: "This journey, I'm afraid it's quite compact, and it's caused by miasma, so this physical strength is naturally a loss, and you can recover after a little rest." ”

The head of the dart bureau hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said: "Old Dao, I am the head of the Qingzhou Chengdong Fu Dart Bureau, Yu Fu, if you have offended before, don't go to your heart, on the way to the dart, you are always miserable by strangers." ”

Lao Dao said with a smile: "It turned out that Mr. Yu put his head up, looked up for a long time, looked up for a long time." ”

Lao Dao was full of polite words, and in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that he had known Mr. Yu before.

But Qin Chuan knew that in fact, he had been to Qingzhou City many times before with Lao Dao, and knew that this Dongfu Dart Bureau was a small dart game in Qingzhou City, and in terms of power, it was naturally not as good as the Yonghe Dart Bureau that was also Qingzhou City.

This Dongfu Dart Bureau usually transports some goods for businessmen, and earns hard-earned money. When Qin Chuan and Lao Dao went to Taoli Ji in Qingzhou City to buy the four treasures of the study, they learned from Xiao Er's mouth that this Taoli Ji came from Huizhou's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which was personally sent by Mr. Yu of the Dongfu Dart Bureau.

Mr. Yu turned his head to the old Taoist and said: "Our trip to transport the standard objects is to return to Qingzhou City, if the Taoist chief does not dislike it, let's go forward with us." ”

Lao Dao and Qin Chuan looked at each other and smiled, and both agreed: "So good, so good." ”

At this time, the guy next to him brought some wine and food, and Lao Dao and Qin Chuan sat down by the fire with everyone, talking about the recent anecdotes in Qingzhou City, talking and laughing.

Qin Chuan was also overjoyed to see that there was wine to drink at this moment, and he took a few sips of strong wine, stunned everyone, they didn't expect this Dao Tong to have such a lot of alcohol.

Qin Chuan thought that there were three snake spirit grasses in the cloth bag, so he took them out and threw them behind his back. He looked at a bucket next to him and asked, "Is this bucket full of wine?"

A dart brother next to him said: "Don't joke with the little road chief, so much wine, such a long journey, it must be inconvenient to carry." Inside this bucket is freshly beaten mountain spring water, which is extremely sweet and thirst-quenching. ”

When Qin Chuan heard that it was not wine, he sighed, and suddenly lost interest.

Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was not harmonious. It's just that I'm too tired to travel today, and after a while, everyone will fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, even the sentry men dozed off, when a figure got up and walked towards the bucket.
