Chapter 14: The Antidote

Because Feng Zhiling got the antidote in advance, Lan Yuan did not investigate the whereabouts of the holy artifact again.

He offered to follow Feng Zhiling and the three of them to Tong'an County to help treat the poisonous plague, Lan Chengyi was noncommittal, but Feng Zhiling and Rouyi both said that there was no problem.

The four of them flew back to Tong'an County together against the wind.

It was already dark, Feng Zhiling hurriedly returned to the pharmacy, and saw the wood that was guarding the fire of the medicine stove, and the two of them were not there, she shouted: "Wood, we are back with the antidote!"

When Mu saw them, he hurriedly got up and came over to greet them: "Sister Lanxi, you are finally back!

"This is our good friend, you can just call him Brother Lan Yuanβ€”are you still boiling medicine?" Feng Zhiling asked, "What about the two of them?"

"Brother Lan Yuan is goodβ€”β€” yes, sister, we are still boiling medicine, Yuanbao he has another seizure, Brother Boyan gave him another medicine, this is better. The two elder brothers, Boyan and Jingqiu, said that in order to prevent others from having another seizure, they asked everyone to drink the medicine again after five hours, so we kept boiling the medicine. The two elder brothers had just gone to the City God Temple to feed medicine to the patients inside, so I was asked to stay here first. Mu Tou explained non-stop, "Sister, if you don't come back, the medicine won't be able to keep up! The dansha, orpiment, and magnet have all been used up......

She praised Boyan and Jingqiu for their thoughtful way of giving the patient a second dose, and praised Mu for his ability.

Then he said to him: "Wood, there is no need to boil the medicine now, we have already got the antidote." Now you go and tell everyone to line up at the door of the pharmacy to get the medicine. By the way, let each of them bring a large bowl of medicinal soup. Can you do it?"

"No problem, Sister Lanxi, wrap it up on me. Wood patted his chest and immediately rushed out of the door of the pharmacy.

Feng Zhiling opened the wooden box brought out from the Demon Realm, there were ten white porcelain medicine jars neatly placed inside, and there was a small wooden spoon in it, Feng Zhiling opened the cork lid of the medicine jar and found that it contained an orange-brown extremely fine medicinal powder. Ling Xiao told her that a spoonful of medicinal powder could be dissolved in ten liters of water, and a poisoned person only needed to drink five taels of water that had been transformed into medicinal powder to detoxify.

Lan Chengyi walked up to her, brushed up her cuffs and glanced at it, and found that the scope of the toxin had narrowed down to the back of her hand.

He was stunned and asked, "Have you taken the antidote?"

Feng Zhiling also wondered. She had planned to take the antidote with everyone when she came back, but she had never touched the antidote, so why did the toxin slowly fade?

She was also confused, and only vaguely replied: "Well, I ate it when I was in the Heavenly Demon Palace." ”

Why don't I take the medicine and see if the toxin will go away on its own. Feng Zhiling thought.

At this time, Boyan and Jingqiu also came back from sending medicine from the Chenghuang Temple, Jingqiu was still holding a large brown medicine pot, and when the two saw them, they said happily: "Master, you are finally back!

"We went well along the way, and the antidote was also obtained by Lan Xi. By the way, this is He Lanyuan, the head of Taiyi Sect, come and have a look. "Blue City Yidao.

Jing Qiu hurriedly put down the medicine pot in his hand, and said like Lan Yuan: "I've seen Master He." ”

"I have admired the name of the head of He for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet Jingqiu, but I didn't expect to see the dignity of the head of He in this Tong'an City, which is really a blessing. Bo Yan said respectfully.

"Fortunately. The disciples of the Blue Immortal Master are indeed very outstanding, and they are all benevolent and kind, which is admirable. Lan Yuan said.

"This is all the credit of Master and Sister Lanxi, Master saw that the people of Tong'an City were infected with the terrible poisonous plague, it was really pitiful, so he took us to help eliminate the plague, Sister Lanxi also disregarded her safety and stepped forward, we just followed Master's side and acted according to orders. "Park the flue.

"Bo Yan really knows how to speak for Lan Chengyi, obviously I begged him to come over. Feng Zhiling glanced at Lan Chengyi and said in her heart.

Jing Qiu couldn't help but look at the graceful Taiyi head twice, but quickly retracted his gaze and said to Lan Chengyi and Lan Xi: "Master, Senior Sister, Lan Xi, you are all fine, it's really good, Bo Yan and I have been worried about you! Master, you are really amazing, you came back from such a dangerous place in the Demon World so quickly and smoothly, and you also got the antidote." ”

"Lan Xi got the antidote, and we just accompanied her to go shopping. "Blue City Yidao.

"Senior sister, why is your face injured? is it serious?" Jingqiu asked.

"It's not a big deal if the water monster of the Wufu Sea is injured. Rouyi said.

Jing Qiu chased Rou Yi again and asked about the strange things that happened during the trip to the Demon Realm, and Rou Yi told him about the general situation on the side, and Jing Qiu was surprised and sighed when he listened.

"Bo Yan, Jingqiu, Sister Rouyi, you come to help distribute the soup and medicine together, I have already asked Mu to call people, and they will come to the door of the pharmacy to line up to receive the medicine in a while, we have to set up a few tables at the door as soon as possible, prepare the medicine soup, and send out the medicine as soon as possible, so as not to poison someone too deeply and die." Feng Zhi said to the three.

"Okay, you say what you're going to do, and we'll help you figure it out. "Park the flue.

Feng Zhiling took out a white porcelain medicine bottle and a wooden spoon, and said, "This antidote is in powder form, each spoonful of medicinal powder can be dissolved in ten liters of water, and the poisoned person only needs to drink five taels of water that has been transformed into medicinal powder to detoxify." We need to prepare several large water tanks, each water tank is filled with ten liters of water, placed at the door, each water tank is put into the corresponding amount of antidote, and then find some five taels of scale measuring instruments to decompose the medicine. ”

"Lan Xi, since the antidote has been taken back, the rest of these things should be handed over to the county order, right?

At this time, Mu Tou said stupidly: "Sister Rouyi, the county magistrate has taken the whole family to run away early in the morning, and the people in the yamen have long ignored the plague. The two county lieutenants are dead, and those officials who do things are also dead, and they can't protect themselves, let alone take care of our people. ”

"What's the matter with the people guarding the city gate outside?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"They...... They were sent from above to seal the city, and if they saw anyone in the city fleeing, they would immediately kill their heads. They will never come in and take care of us...... I've heard that if the plague in our city gets worse, it won't be long before they burn the city. ”

"What?, burning the city?" Lan Yuan exclaimed.

"It's just a fire that burned Tong'an City. Wood said.

"Why didn't I hear you before?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"I've only heard about it, and it's not necessarily true. Mu explained, "I see that Sister Lanxi has such a good heart, and has been trying to find a way to help everyone cure the plague, if it can really be cured, everyone will pick up a life, if it can't be cured, then I will tell my sister to leave here quickly." ”

"Silly wood, even if we don't find an antidote, we won't let you burn here. Feng Zhiling said.

"I believe that my sister will have a cure for the plague in our city. Wood grinned.

"Now that the county orders have run away, we can only rely on ourselves. Feng Zhiling said, "Let's do it quickly." ”

Feng Zhiling said to Lan Yuan next to him: "Master He, can you please help us distribute the medicinal soup?"

Lan Yuan said: "Miss Lanxi, you're welcome, I'm here to help." However, I need to leave for an hour to take care of some personal matters. ”

"Absolutely. It's only unitary time, and it's still early. By then, it would be almost busy. ”

Lan Yuan, Lan Chengyi, Boyan, Jingqiu, and Rouyi had no one to prepare the tables, water tanks, clean water, measuring tools, etc. needed to distribute the medicine, and they were soon complete.

Ten large water tanks lined up horizontally on the street in front of the drugstore, and Feng Zhiling prepared all the antidotes in proportion.

This long street is the main road in the city, it is very spacious, and the people who receive the medicine slowly gather in front of the water tank, crowded left and right, and can't wait.

"Don't worry, don't be crowded, queue up!"

"There are many antidotes, and everyone will have them!"

Boyan and Jingqiu stood on the table, and Luck shouted loudly to the crowd.

There were three strong men who had taken Feng Zhiling's pills before, so they took the initiative to come over to help maintain order. Most of the people at the scene had eaten Feng Zhiling's medicinal soup, and knew that this time it was a few very powerful divine doctors, and seeing Bo Yan and Jing Qiu standing high on the table, Lan Chengyi, Lan Yuan, and Rou Yi looked at the extraordinary characters standing in front, they couldn't help but feel a little more awe and trust, and the order gradually improved.

"If you already have a patient with dark skin and deep poisoning in your family, you can come forward to get the antidote first. Feng Zhiling also climbed onto the table and said to the crowd, "As long as you take the antidote, it will take half an hour to slow down, and it will take a cup of tea to take as fast as the time, and the illness will be all cured." Those who are not poisoned is too deep, it is still too early for the poison to occur, and their lives will not be hindered, don't rush forward to get the antidote, we know if you are lying. However, I am sure that everyone will follow the order. - Also, please help you to see your left and right after you get the medicine back, and if you see someone sick at home, please also take the medicine for them and save their lives. They will also be grateful for your kindness. ”

Feng Zhiling is petite, but her head is wrapped in white silk, which adds a bit of mystery. People couldn't see her clearly, but they believed what she said.

"The divine doctor has descended to earth, we have been saved!"

"I must listen to the miracle doctor!"

People thanked them and promised loudly one by one.

Feng Zhiling and Bo Yan Jingqiu jumped off the table with satisfaction, and just like that, the four Lan Chengyi masters and apprentices, Lan Yuan, Feng Zhiling, plus the wood, and the three strong men who helped, just ten people, began to distribute medicine in front of the ten water tanks.

Lan Yuan looked at the Lan Xi girl jumping up and down, and couldn't help but think of his lively and active Senior Sister Feng. If you only listen to the voice and watch the movements, regardless of the body shape and age, Miss Lanxi does have some similarities with Senior Sister Feng.

He became more interested in Lan Xi's appearance.

For the first time, Feng Zhiling felt that there were so many people in a small county, and it was only a part of it.

After two hours of busyness, the people in line were finally able to see it all at a glance.

It's finally over - she takes a deep breath and suddenly feels a little heavy in her head, and her body falls uncontrollably to the side.

Lan Chengyi, who was standing on her left, hurriedly supported her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's kind of ...... She opened her eyes in a daze, feeling tired, and remembered that she had probably not eaten or rested for a day and a night.......

With his dedication, he boiled the pill, broke into the demon world, deceived Ling Xiao, and met Lan Yuan...... And then she's been busy until now, and she's almost exhausted in that breath.

Seeing this, Lan Yuan said, "Miss Lanxi is probably hungry, get her something to eat." ”

"If any of you have something to eat, bring some to Miss Lanxi. Lan Chengyi shouted to the crowd.

Feng Zhiling smiled embarrassedly at those who were staring at her, and was helped into the pharmacy by Lan Chengyi.

Someone in the crowd immediately responded, and after a short time, Feng Zhiling got a lot of food, steamed buns, shortbread, hot noodles, and various fruits, piled up on the table of the pharmacy, which was quite rich.

"I keep telling you to go to rest and get something to eat, why don't you listen? Lan Cheng Yi said angrily.

"I thought I was fine. Go out and continue. ”

Feng Zhiling drove away Lan Chengyi, found a dim and remote corner in the pharmacy, moved a chair, put the food on the chair, sat on the ground at will, confirmed that there was no one around, and then untied the white silk on his head.

"Finally something to eat...... she picked up her chopsticks and threw herself into the battle of noodles with ferocity.

"Ghost, ghost!" suddenly a scream sounded in the room, and she shook her hands in fright, and hurriedly turned her head to see where the ghost was.

When she saw the wood that was trembling at him and was about to continue shouting, she realized that she was the "ghost", and quickly stopped the wood, pinched her throat and shouted: "Wood, don't shout, it's me!"

When Mu heard the familiar voice, he immediately stopped, looked carefully at the red-haired female ghost in the corner, and did not dare to move.

"It's me, wood, I'm Sister Lanxi. Don't shout, don't scare other people. Feng Zhiling continued to coax her, for fear that he would provoke more people.

"I'm not a ghost, I'm just sick, that's why my hair turned red. Wood, I'm really Sister Lanxi. Feng Zhiling stood up and patiently explained to the wood.

When Wood heard the words "sick", he began to believe the red-haired woman's words, after all, he had seen such strange plagues, and it was not surprising that there were more strange diseases in this world.

"Sister Lanxi, is it really you?" he asked as he unguarded.

"It's really wood, didn't I give the ingots antidote, if I were a ghost, I would have eaten you a long time ago, why do I talk to you so much?" Feng Zhiling said, "Look, I'm still eating noodles myself, where will the ghost eat noodles." ”

Mu finally let down his guard, walked towards Feng Zhiling, looked at the noodles in her bowl, and then looked at Feng Zhiling's face, smoothed himself out, and said, "Sister Lanxi, you really scared me just now." However, my sister is very good-looking. - Is it because you're sick that your hair and eyes turn red?"

Feng Zhiling hadn't eaten enough, but she didn't dare to continue eating when she was shouted by the wood, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, picked up the white silk thrown on the ground, and slowly wrapped herself: "Wood, are you a night vision, you can see it clearly when it's so dark, I can't see the noodles in the bowl clearly." - Yes, my sister has an incurable disease, and her hair and eyes will become like this. So I usually cover it with something, not daring to let others see it, for fear of scaring others. Didn't I scare you? I'm sorry, wood. ”

"Your clothes are light in color, and your red hair stands out. Sister, you are so pitiful, you must be sad to have this disease. Wood said, "Actually, I knew you weren't a ghost as soon as I heard my sister's voice just now." Besides, if I knew it was my sister, I wouldn't be afraid of ghosts. ”

"Oh?" Feng Zhiling didn't expect a child with such a poor background to say that she was pitiful, she asked, "Why aren't you afraid?"

"Because even if my sister is a ghost, she is also a good ghost, you saved Yuanbao and saved so many people in Tong'an County. Wood replied seriously, "Actually, I also wish I could be like my sister." ”

Feng Zhiling listened to Mu's words, her heart warmed a little, and asked him, "How about being like a sister?"

"Be brave like a sister. "In this way, you can face a lot of bad things." ”

Feng Zhiling smiled and said, "You are already very brave. You're the bravest boy I've ever met. ”

Mu was very happy after hearing this, and Feng Zhiling asked him again: "By the way, why didn't you help outside, what are you doing inside the house?"

"That fairy brother said that he could be alone, so I wanted to come in and see if my sister was better. ”

"Which one?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"The one who was with you before, the one who was more fierce, was not Brother Lan Yuan. ”

Feng Zhiling didn't expect Lan Chengyi to give people the impression of this, but why did she only think that he was trivial and annoying?

"It's Brother Cheng Yi. Where did Brother Lan Yuan go?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"I don't know. Wood shook his head.

Feng Zhiling walked out of the pharmacy and just saw everyone slowly disperse.

Lan Chengyi was just finished busy, she walked over and asked, "I just ate two bites of noodles casually, why are you so fast?"

Rouyi glanced at her and said, "If you're not here, you'll naturally be soon." ”

Jingqiu replied: "With a wave of Master's hand, the medicine will be distributed to everyone's bowls, very quickly." ”

β€œ...... What about the patients in the City God Temple?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"Jingqiu and I also gave them medicine, opened the door, and let them go home. "Park the flue.

"Okay, you're done, the three of you are tired, go and rest. "Blue City Yidao.

Feng Zhiling was a little angry, she asked Lan Chengyi, "Blue Immortal Master, since you can dispense medicine so quickly, why didn't you do it earlier? Just watch us scoop bowl by bowl for a few hours, why do you always like to tease me deliberately?"

Lan Chengyi corrected: "You are calling the wrong name again." ”

"What?" said Feng Zhiling angrily.

Lan Chengyi said casually: "First of all, you didn't ask me to do that, and secondly, that He Lanyuan, isn't it the same as me, didn't he make a move?"

"You ......" Feng Zhiling didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, turned around and left.

For a long time, in order to let her call him Master and learn the immortal method from him, Lan Chengyi often deliberately let her tease her, and when the alchemy was dispensing, he deliberately did not guide her, watching her clumsily busy for a long time, doing a lot of useless work. In the end, it was often Bo Yan Jingqiu who helped her. She didn't care about these little things before, but why did he repeatedly tease himself on such a major matter of life and death? Why did he always do such unreasonable things regardless of the importance and the occasion?

"Don't go. Lan Chengyi called out to her, "Tell me, why are you Ling Xiao willing to give you the antidote?"

"I promised him that when the plague was over, I would return to the demon world to be a servant girl for him. Feng Zhiling angrily put down this sentence, turned around and left.

"Lan Xi, don't go, you make ......it clear," Lan Chengyi shouted behind her.

Walking alone on an unfamiliar street, Feng Zhiling's thoughts were messy and uneasy.

Should she recognize her senior brother in the end? In the Heavenly Demon Palace, what she promised Ling Xiao to, is she really going to do it?

So how should she explain to Lan Chengyi and Bo Yan Jingqiu?

- But why explain it to them, after all, it seems, there is no reason to explain it to them.

During the day, in the Heavenly Demon Palace.

At that time, Feng Zhiling asked Ling Xiao, "...... Uncle, what I just told you about the antidote to Tong'an City, can you promise me?"

Ling Xiao remembered Feng Zhiling's purpose for coming and asked, "Yu Huang, why do you have to save the people in Tong'an County?

"No one forced me, do you need a reason to save people? Then why do you have to kill those people in Tong'an County?"

"I didn't have to kill those people, I just asked my subordinates to test the poison. ”

"Do you need to test the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city?"

"I'm just telling my subordinates, I don't care what they do. Ling Xiao said, "Besides, what about testing the poison of the people in the city?"

Hearing his words, the slightest trace of sympathy that Feng Zhiling felt when she heard him crying just now disappeared. At this moment, she only knew that the person in front of her was a murderous demon without blinking, the same impression as that day in Taiyi Mountain.

"Killing, in your eyes, is it so casual?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"I didn't kill them. ”

"Now more than half of the people in the entire Tong'an City have been poisoned, and it won't be long before all the people will be infected and die one by one. These people, although you did not kill them with your own hands, you also killed them. Feng Zhiling said, "...... Give me the antidote. Whether they die or not, it doesn't matter to you anyway, does it?"

"Yu Huang, if you ask me for an antidote, I will definitely give it to you. Ling Xiao sighed.

Feng Zhiling looked at him: "Okay, then you can give it to me now." ”

"I can give it to you, and I can also send someone directly to detoxify. Ling Xiao said, "Yu Huang, don't go, I'll just find someone to do those little things." After all these years, my uncle misses you very much. If your father and mother knew that you were still alive, they would not know how happy they were. ...... Don't you want to stay, to stay in this place where you were born and raised?"

"I don't want to. Feng Zhiling replied crisply.

"After staying in Taiyi Mountain for thirteen years, do you forget who you are?" Ling Xiao asked her, "Do you know that it was the old man in Taiyi Mountain's Xihe Garden, who led the group of people in the fairy world to kill your mother, hurt your father, and destroy our home? Taiyi Gate is our enemy, do you know? You can't stay with the enemy, I want you to come back and go home." ”

Go home?

Feng Zhiling thought it was ridiculous.

Is the Demon World my home?

No, Taiyi Mountain is.

But, Taiyi Mountain, can I still go back?

Family. Do I still have a home?

"Yuhuang, when you were a child, your father and mother loved you very, very much, and your uncle also loved you, you can't let them down, you have to stay in the demon world and avenge them with your own hands. ”

"When I was a kid, I forgot everything. Feng Zhiling replied coldly, "Give me the antidote, I won't stay in the Demon Realm." ”

"No, I can't. Ling Xiao's face was very ugly when she heard her say this, "If you don't stay in the Demon Realm, I won't give you an antidote." ”

"You ......" Feng Zhiling was very irritable in her heart, Lan Yuan They are still in the four domains of the Demon Realm, and they may be in danger at any time, and the poison in Tong'an County cannot be dragged on forever.

What to do exactly.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "You give me the antidote first, and when I finish my work, I will go back to the Heavenly Demon Palace." ”

"Really?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, a little unconvinced, "Are you sincere or are you lying to me?"

"Really. I said I would do it. I still have friends waiting for me to get my medicine back, and I have to meet them as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely not be at ease and will come here to trouble you. ”

"Hmph, come here to trouble me, I'll see if they have the ability. ”

"No, I didn't mean ......," Feng Zhiling explained, "It's not that I don't think you can't deal with them, they're my friends, and I hope you don't hurt them." I have been in Xianmen for thirteen years, and it is those people who take care of me and accompany me. Where have you been all these years? Shouldn't I be grateful to them for growing so big?"

"I didn't know you were still alive," Ling Xiao said, "If I knew that you were still alive, I would have raised you in the palm of my hand, and I would have been better than them." What's more, they didn't raise you out of any good intentions at all, I think it's a conspiracy at all. ”

...... Hold it in the palm of your hand.

...... Conspiracy.

It's all a mess.

"They just want you to recognize the thief as your father when you grow up, so that you can deal with the demon world. Ling Xiao added.

Feng Zhiling sorted out her thoughts, looked at Ling Xiao's face seriously, and said, "Uncle, let's not talk about these things for the time being, let's not talk about these things for the time being, more than ten years of things, one sentence or two can't be clear." Later, when we have time, we will slowly explain it. Now I have to get out of here with the antidote and rush back to save people. If you believe me, give me the antidote at once, if you just don't-"

"Huh?" Ling Xiao waited for her next step.

"Then we'll give a high-five. ”

Ling Xiao was stunned. High-fives are an oath, which is a unique way of undertaking between Yu Huang and him when he was a child.

"You remember. Ling Xiao smiled, "Little Yuhuang, you haven't forgotten. Okay, let's give a high-five. ”

Feng Zhiling didn't know why she swore a high-five, she really couldn't remember the things before the age of five, but some things always seemed to be placed in an invisible corner of her head, and occasionally they popped out so naturally.

She stretched out her hand, slapped her hands with Ling Xiao, and then stretched out her thumb to touch his thumb, and then pressed her thumb to the center of the other's forehead.

- How stupid.
