Chapter Seventy-One: Returning to the Old Place
Chapter Seventy-One: Returning to the Old Place
Time passed slowly, and it was night in the blink of an eye.
Yun Youyou didn't know how long he had been asleep, and in his dream he seemed to have arrived in a place where birds and flowers were singing and the sky was clear and he was staying with Jiang Qingyan. When I woke up, it was dark, and I knew that it was just a dream. She touched Jiang Qingyan's body and called him softly, but she didn't see him respond, only that the person was dead. At this time, I have cried enough, and I am so sad that I am not so sad, but I am indescribably happy.
Yun Youyou said: "Dying here can be regarded as having a home, at least you don't have to let the wolves eat outside." Holding Jiang Qingyan and retreating, leaning on the earthen wall and falling asleep. In the haze, I seemed to hear something behind me, and it seemed that a ghost was calling. She was startled and wanted to get up, but she couldn't move while holding Jiang Qingyan, and when she touched the Chengying Sword, she stabbed back. As soon as the Shadow Sword touched the earth wall, it stabbed open a hole, and light spilled through the hole.
Yun Youyou was stunned for a moment, then reacted, swung the Chengying Sword and slashed indiscriminately, and the earth wall fell down with a bang, dust splashed, and the light overflowed the cave. Yun Youyou hugged Jiang Qingyan and went out, looked up, and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that there were more than 30 people sitting outside the cave, both men and women, Taoist priests, Taoist aunts, even monks dressed as bald, and bald people dressed as monks. The thirty or so people sat and lay down in twos and threes, and although they saw that the earth wall was broken and some people rushed in, they could not move one by one, and only stared at each other with big eyes.
Someone suddenly shouted, "Who is it? dare to break into here?" Two people rushed from the other side, their hands crooked and snatched towards Yun Youyou. Yun Youyou raised his sword to block, but was picked open by the hook, and the other person stretched out his foot and kicked Yun Youyou's calf. Yun Youyou screamed in pain, his knees weakened, and he knelt down, but he was already grabbed by the neck by another person and grabbed him.
Yun Youyou had already put life and death aside, and although he was captured, he was not a little depressed and panicked, but very calm.
One person said: "Go find Elder Guo, how can anyone break into here?" This matter is not unusual, we must find Elder Guo to come and plug the hole again." The other said: "Yes." "It's about to act.
Suddenly, an iron chain stretched out, and knocked him down. The man was frightened, so he wanted to get up, his legs and hands were already bound by iron chains, and the other was about to move, his throat was cut by a sword, and he covered his throat with both hands and fell to the ground and convulsed.
I only heard a man say, "It turns out that people are really locked up here." Yun Youyou looked up and shouted, "Lin Xi." It turned out that the two people who came were Lin Xi and the woman, and the two of them came out of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, so they went to look for the person who was captured by the little missionary, found a place with many guards, and sneaked in, so that they met Yun Youyou.
Lin Xi was slightly stunned when she saw it, and said, "Why are you here?" Seeing Jiang Qingyan on the ground, he said, "What's wrong with Jiang Qingyan?" Yun Youyou was happy in her heart, and then she felt a pain, she was very happy to see Lin Xi come to the rescue, but how could she be happy when she looked down and saw Jiang Qingyan......'s corpse?
The woman also lowered her body and took Jiang Qingyan's hand, checked the pulse, and said, "It's not dead yet, it's just nine out of ten lives, and there is still salvation." Yun Youyou said: "My master still has salvation?" But he didn't believe it all, but he was afraid that the woman was just talking casually.
The woman said, "If there is salvation, as long as there is medicine, it will save him." Yun Youyou said: "Medicine...... Where to find medicine at this time?" the pale face turned away from joy again. The woman said, "He is very seriously injured, if there is snow artemisia grass, wolf poison flower, green snake grass, red pearl grass, snow lotus seed can save him." Otherwise, he will die in another hour. ”
Yun Youyou laughed miserably: "Go find these things in an hour." Lin Xi suddenly remembered something and said, "I have some medicinal herbs, but I don't know if they are useful." "Reaching into his arms, he took out the various medicinal materials and iron ore that he had stolen from the alchemy furnace of the chief division of the country last time, and spread them on the ground.
The woman said curiously, "These medicinal herbs are strange. "Pick and choose among those piles of herbs. Lin Xi said: "Is there anything that can be used?" The woman said: "There are not the ones I said, but there are the ones I didn't say." These are the other remedies that can save him. ”
Yun Youyou was overjoyed and said, "Then you can use it quickly." The woman shook her head and said, "No, some of these medicinal materials can be burned into potions, and some need to be made into pills." It's easy to boil water, but it's too difficult to make Dan. Yun Youyou said: "Then you make it quickly!"
The woman smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how to make it!" Yun Youyou was stunned for a moment, and said, "You can't make it?" The woman spread her hands and said: "At the beginning, my grandfather only asked me to memorize these prescriptions, and he didn't say how to refine them, but I still memorized them randomly, and I can't remember clearly, how can I refine what pills?"
Yun Youyou said: "Are you reciting it randomly?" The woman was dumbfounded, and laughed: "I memorized everything else, this should not be wrong, at most one or two are wrong." But I don't know how to do alchemy, and my grandfather didn't teach it. ”
Suddenly, someone said, "I know how to make alchemy." Lin Xi followed the sound and saw a pale and white-haired Taoist priest in the corner, bent over, bowed to the side, and his body was tied with hemp rope. Lin Xi stepped forward to untie the hemp rope, and then untied the acupoints for him, and asked, "Do you know how to make Dan?"
The Taoist priest got up and showed his skills, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you for saving me." On the other side, there was a humanitarian: "He is a famous Songyunzi Songyun Dao person on Wudang Mountain, Dan is the first, the Tao is the second, and the sword is the third, how can he not refine the Dan?" Lin Xi looked over, but saw that the person who spoke was none other than Gao Zhixuan.
Songyun Daoren smiled: "Complimented." Lin Xi went over to loosen the binding to Gao Zhixuan, untied the acupoint, and untied Chen Wanfu next to him. Looking around, I saw Mo Lian, Nie Liang, Zhang Lieyan, and Bai Yun lying on the side, and stepped forward to save them, but saw that they were still asleep.
The woman said, "Do you know how to make pills?" Can you make Heavenly Snow Soul Rejuvenation Pill?" Songyun Taoist said: "As long as there is medicine, it can be made." The woman said, "I have a prescription, but this is not a place for medicine, so I have to find a safer place." ”
Yun Youyou said: "A safer place...... It's not safe here. The woman looked Yun Youyou up and down, and said, "You have to get out of here first, just out of the hole you just came in!" Yun Youyou hurriedly said: "No! There are a lot of wolves over there!"
The woman said, "What's so terrible about a wolf?"
Lin Xi untied everyone one by one, and saw that some of them were captured by Guo Yingtian with a naming technique before, and there were also a few people who didn't know each other, and they were all masters of various sects. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: "What is the reason why the little missionary has captured so many masters for no reason?"
When they heard that there was a wolf behind the cave, they all shook their heads and laughed, "What's so terrible about wolves? And he went out of the cave one after the other. Gao Zhixuan walked to the entrance of the cave, and saw that the little traditional guard before was not dead, so he swung a sword and killed it. Lin Xi carried Mo Lian on his back, and asked Gao Zhixuan, Chen Wanfu and a few people who had seen him to carry Jiang Qingyan, Nie Liang and others out.
When they got out of the cave, the wolves had already been killed by the Taoists, removed the skin, took the meat and roasted it and ate it. The woman sneered slightly, and said in a low voice, "Aren't these Taoists, but how can they eat meat?" Lin Xi was stunned.
Gao Zhixuan took a piece of cooked meat and handed it to Lin Xi, saying, "Young Master Chu, give it." Wolf meat is sour, but it's always meat. Lin Xi took it and put it aside.
The woman said, "Aren't you Taoist monks, how can you eat meat, and you also kill?" Gao Zhixuan laughed and said, "Taoist monks are also human beings, and people always have five desires." Don't eat meat and don't kill is a foreign saying, and the cultivation of the mind is enough, and it is okay to be proud if you don't win. Eating some meat is nothing, in fact, why haven't Taoist monks eaten meat?"
The woman sneered and said nothing. I talked to the people of Songyun Dao about the medicinal materials, boiled the potion again, cut a stone bucket, put the potion in, and put it in a quiet place. Tell Yun Youyou to take off Jiang Qingyan's clothes and put them in a bucket to take a bath. Lin Xi wanted to help, but the woman said, "Don't go, what kind of fuss are you making about other people's masters and apprentices." I'll refine the antidote for you and save those unconscious people. ”
Lin Xi responded: "Yes." "I took out Zheng Zhu's medicine book, and saw that it read "Ten Thousand Poisons Medicine Sutra", and opened it to find it, but it was all a method of making poison, and there was an antidote to it later. I found an antidote prescription, took a few more samples from the pile of medicinal materials, and handed them over to the Songyun Dao people to refine together.
Three days have passed, and there is little silence under the cliff, and no one comes to disturb it. The Taoist people have been cultivating under the cliff for three days, and their qi and blood have recovered. retired to Lin Xi one after another, and left one after another in the clouds and fog.
As early as the second day, Mo Lian, Nie Liang and the other four people had woken up, and when they woke up, they were dazed and didn't know where to go. Lin Xi had no choice but to talk about the past and the aftermath together, only hiding one place from the Lord, Nie Liang listened, and sighed: "That Zheng Zhu's generation of Confucians, I didn't expect that he would also faint and enter a small mission, and die so miserably. ”
Mo said pitifully: "Who is that woman, why do you want to save us?" Lin Xi shook his head and said nothing. When I looked up, I saw the woman standing in the corner of the cliff, standing in the setting sun.
Lin Xi walked towards the woman and stopped behind her. The woman stood upright, her long hair blown by the breeze, and suddenly sighed, "I'm leaving." Lin Xi said: "Where are you going?"
The woman said, "Go and find someone, or not a person." Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "What is it?" The woman sighed lightly: "I came to the world with a smile, looking for a dream, it is ethereal, and it is plain and real, I came to look for it, not to find a certain person." ”
Lin Xi said: "Dream?" The woman nodded and said, "I came to the world with a smile and went back with tears." I'm just looking for a dream that is empty and ethereal, happy and painful. At this time, the wind blew the white shirt, and the woman was like a cloud and mist, like a light breeze and white clouds, and she couldn't see through it.
Lin Xi said: "What are you looking for when you came to the little mission?"
The woman said, "I'm leaving." "Turn and leave. Lin Xi shouted, "Who are you? What is your name? Why do I feel so familiar with you? Do we know each other?" The woman said: "I don't know you! My name is Yue Qingqing, you remember!"
She was gone, leaving only the breeze and white clouds on the cliff, and a dream.
