The head of Taolin Village, Qiao Youwu:

Before Yuan Xing entered the door, he saw a soft white light coming out of the window. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info stepped into the room, and a familiar air flow soaked Yuan Xing's skin...... Manna Mantra? As far as I could see, Su Wuqian was standing at the head of the bed, and Qiao You and his wife were sideways with him.

Could it be that Su Wuqian really knows how to view spells? Yuan Xing stepped over and pinched Su Wuqian's hand. The pulse is smooth and simple, and there is no flow of air and pulse. This woman has no mana, and Yuan Xing is confident that he will not be mistaken, so why did he ...... just now

"Hey! What are you doing with your hands and feet? ”

"Why are you here?"

"Cure the disease and save people, why are you afraid that I will rob you of your job? Didn't you say you wanted to cooperate, why are you so stingy! ”

Qiao You stepped forward and said, "Wang Shaoxia, don't blame, we invited Miss Su over, Qiao Bin's condition is not good...... Yes! It's not that we don't believe in your and Dr. Jiang's medical skills, it's just that we're worried about ......"

"It's okay, Old Village Chief Qiao doesn't need to pay attention to him. It is the duty of our cultivators to act chivalrous and righteous. I have just gone through my wonderful rejuvenation treatment, and I believe that your nephew will get better! ”

The old couple didn't expect anything anymore, but because of Su Wuqian's appearance, it brought them a glimmer of hope.

"What's the turning point for him? Give people hope first, and then let them despair, how can you bear it? Yuan Xing continued to whisper. Isn't it clear what Dr. Jiang said yesterday? Do you understand how dangerous this village is right now? I really don't understand why you insist on staying here, the bounty is so important to you? ”

"You want to know why I'm here for so long? OK! Su Wuqian approached Yuan Xing and pretended to be mysterious, "But I have conditions!" ”

Yuan Xing clearly smelled the fresh fragrance emanating from this woman: "Say! ”

"After breakfast, you have to take me to the edge of the peach grove, and you must keep me safe. You've got to figure out how to keep me from falling for that worm...... The poison of the white mist. ”

……………………………………

Grove:

Yuan Xing brought a wooden barrel and found two pieces of black cloth to soak in the bucket. The barrel was filled with fishy water, with a small amount of salt and sulfur in it.

"What is this? What a fishy smell! "Su Wuqian came on time. She looked into the bucket and found that it was full of fish guts and blood, and she almost vomited with disgust. "Oh my God...... I just had breakfast......"

Yuan Xing took out a piece of black cloth and slowly wrung it out, demonstrated how to cover the black cloth on his face, and then handed the other piece to Su Wuqian.

The girl covered her mouth and nose and shook her head back. "You want me to wear this! What the hell did you come up with? ”

"If you don't go, forget it, it's not like I forced you to go." Yuan Xing threw the black cloth back into the barrel, "You came to me for help. ”

Su Wuqian went to Jiang Ye early in the morning and asked him for ways to avoid being eroded by white worms. Old Man Jiang said that he didn't know, and said that Wang Yuanxing was proficient in all kinds of crooked ways, and there must be a way to deal with it. Su Wuqian reluctantly found Yuan Xing.

The girl in Tsing Yi frowned, gasping heavily, and finally took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind, pinched the corner of the black cloth with her hand, and covered her face with great reluctance.

"That's not going to work." Yuan Xing approached Su Wuqian and sorted out the black cloth on the girl's face. He wrapped his hands around Su Wuqian's head and neck and tied a knot behind his bun.

Su Wuqian's face was close to Yuan Xing's chest. She unconsciously raised her head, looking at Yuan Xing's slightly protruding chin with resentment, but found that slightly teasing expression. Su Wuqian immediately pushed Yuan Xing away, and took out a hand-drawn map from his arms and smashed it in his face.

Yuan Xing took the drawing and looked at it, there was a peach forest inside the village and outside, and the whole drawing was drawn in a good way, but there was a special mark in the picture. In this case, don't you want to go on a treasure hunt?

Along the way, Yuan Xing led the way. Su Wuqian covered her chest and walked slowly behind, she really couldn't stand the strong fishy smell, her stomach was churning, and she was nauseating from time to time.

Although it was on the outskirts of the peach forest, those bird-like aphids still flapped their wings and flew in front of them from time to time.

The black cloth of the two people has white spots. It seems that the worm mist breaking through the peach forest is a matter of now, although it has not entered the fog forest, but this outside is not a safe place after all.

"Can you hold on? If we don't think so, we might as well go back as soon as possible. ”

"These days, don't you think that Village Chief Qiao has a lot of things to hide from us?" Su Wuqian squatted down to rest.

"After all, we are outsiders, and it is reasonable for Qiao Lao to refuse to say everything."

"There is such a big thing in the village, and he obviously asks us to tell us all the truth, is it not inappropriate?"

"It depends on what he's hiding."

"The other day, before you came. I eavesdropped on the conversation between Village Chief Qiao and his nephew, and I heard something terrible......"

At that time, Beizhan had been at war since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Military war reports are transmitted, there is wolf smoke in Dayan, and there is a news tree in Beizhan. The villages in the Zhanzhou area are remote, and the distance between the adjacent villages is slightly farther. When a village is attacked, the villagers set fire to the village's message tree. The tree could continue to burn for several hours, constantly releasing thick smoke into the sky.

Today, the Dayan is not as tyrannical as it used to be, and the villagers have resumed the habit of burning the tree. Although there was no fighting, in case of emergency, people would still burn the messenger tree to ask for each other's help. After the white mist insect plague occurred in Taolin Village, the village chief ordered someone to burn one of the thickest messenger trees.

"And then? Isn't it normal to burn the Signal Tree in this area? Having said so much, Yuan Xing still didn't know what Su Wuqian meant.

"It's weird, it's weird here! When they burned the tree, they found that there was something in the ashes that could not be burned. And guess what? ”

"How can you talk like an uncle and aunt at a young age? You can't just finish it all at once! ”

Su Wuqian rolled her eyes at Yuan Xing: "They were so frightened that they buried that thing directly!" Fortunately, the old village chief Qiao drew such a map privately, and I copied it. I guess he wants to dig it out secretly in the future! ”

"You're saying this mark is where they were buried? Could it be the golden peach mentioned in the paperwork? Yuan Xing thought about it and felt impossible, "The message tree is not a peach tree, how can it grow peaches." ”

"What...... Gold...... Golden Peach! You actually know about the golden peach?! ”

Yuan Xing looked at the map, visually measured the position below, and picked up Su Wuqian on the ground and headed towards the target. "I knew that your nose used to find money was so sensitive, how could you not smell the smell of golden peaches! Let's talk about it, how much do you know about the golden peach? ”

According to Su Wuqian. About eighty years ago, that is, at the time of the ancestors of the village chief Qiao, a strange thing happened in the village. The peach trees in the peach grove did not bear fruit for two consecutive years, and in the third year, golden peaches actually grew on the peach trees! The people in the village wanted to hide it, but no matter how low-key they were, the news of the golden peach still spread to the nearby villages, and they didn't expect to attract a group of horse thieves and rob all these golden peaches.

This history is not well documented, but is passed down by word of mouth. The ancestors on their deathbed instructed that the descendants of Taolin Village should not neglect Taolin and make Taoxian unhappy.

That night, Su Wuqian eavesdropped on the conversation of Qiao's family, and they mentioned the matter of Jin Tao, which should be studying the details of the year. Qiao Bin persuaded the village chief to move to the village, but the village chief was not reconciled, if the peach forest can bear golden peaches again, what does it matter if the peach forest has survived in the past few years, as long as the peach forest does not burn everything, there is hope.

Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian stopped. The destination has arrived, Yuan Xing waved his shovel to dig the earth, and soon dug a hard thing in the ground. When they dug up all the hard objects, they found that they were shaped like a piece of bark peeling off the trunk of a tree, and its texture was ......

"Gold! It's really gold! Su Wuqian held the heavy golden bark in her arms and carefully wiped the remaining dust on it.

It turned out that the body of the tree contained a piece of pure gold bark, and a few lines of text were engraved on the smooth part of the back. The font is not very clear, but this is by no means the script of the Great Yakuzkoku.

"This is Bei Zhanwen!"

No wonder they were going to bury it quickly. If people know that there are remnants of the Northern Zhan Kingdom here, I am afraid that it will bring catastrophe to Taolin Village. Yuan Xing ignored Su Wuqian's obstruction and wanted to bury the golden bark back.

"Hey! This is gold! We dug it up so hard, why did you bury it again? What about this text again? You don't know the words, so we've got to find someone...... Wait a minute! How do you know it's Bei Zhanwen! Do you recognize those words? What was said above? ”

"It's better to know some things."

"What a joke! I came here at such a great risk. Is it just for the sake of the phrase 'I don't know the best'? ”

"Even if you know what, you won't be able to earn this bounty."

"Wang Yuanxing! You make it clear for me! ”

Looking at Su Wuqian's appearance of wanting to kill, Yuan Xing gave in and said: "It says: Juniors, remember, if one day the dragon spits out the fog, go to Tianshan Tianlongguan for help!" ”

Su Wuqian frowned, pointed to the ground and asked, "What is this?" ”

Yuan Xing looked down in the direction her hand was pointing, but Su Wuqian stood on tiptoe and struck the top of Yuan Xing's head with her fist. "What can't you say in such a sentence!!"

"Uh......" Yuan Xing touched his head, "Do you see this mark at the end?" ”

At the lower end of the text, Su Wuqian did see a peach-blossom-shaped imprint. "What does a peach blossom mark on the golden bark mean?"

"It's none of your business, but it's not a trivial matter, don't continue to dwell on this."

"People have said that they are asking to help Tianlongguan, this fairy is a master disciple of Tianlongguan, how can it have nothing to do with me?"

"You...... Guy who wants money and doesn't want to die, I'm really afraid that you have money and don't have life to spend! ”

Su Wuqian still wanted to argue about something, but suddenly she turned her head behind her and looked into the depths of the woods: "Someone!" ”

I thought she was playing some trick again, but it wasn't until Yuan Xing also noticed the sound in the distance that he stepped up his actions to bury the golden bark. Yuan Xing couldn't help but wonder if Su Wuqian's senses were actually above him, what was the origin of this woman.

Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian hid in the bushes, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, in the distance, staggering towards Taolin Village.

Leading the way was a hunchbacked old woman, her hands disabled by deformity, and her hands clutching a yellow and white animal bone. As he walked, the old man tapped the trees with his animal bones, making various dull sounds of "bang" and "dong".

The hunchbacked old man was followed by a middle-aged man. The man's expression was sluggish, his walking posture was a little strange, his body and limbs were not coordinated, and the amplitude of swaying from side to side was too large. But he always maintained a fixed distance and followed the old man unhurriedly.

"That man is a little familiar......"

"Hey, what are you doing!" Yuan Xing beside him was moving forward, and Su Wuqian couldn't stop him.

Yuan Xing unconsciously moved his steps, slowly approaching the two of them, wanting to see more clearly, until he gasped. That middle-aged man turned out to be the corpse in the thief cave!

"Come out, kid." The old man stopped, and the man behind him also stood still. "Although my old woman is blind, her ears are still good, and the spirit of the grass and trees has already told me where you are hiding."

Yuan Xing took Su Wuqian out of the grass, pointed to the middle-aged man and asked the old man, "Why did the body that had been buried appear here?" ”

"Corpses?" The old man rolled her blue and white eyes, slowly turned to the man behind her, and then used the animal bone in her hand to knock on the man's chest, "Isn't this alive?" ”

Yuan Xing was surprised, and stepped forward to check the man's body, his pulse was weak, but he still had a breath. The sunken face was bloodless. His abdomen was swollen and appeared to be ailmented. This person has long been terminally ill, and I am afraid that he will not last long.

"I know you have a lot of questions, and when I get back to the village, I'll reveal everything."

Su Wuqian finally couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, old man?" ”

"Everyone in the village calls me Granny Ma."

……………………………………

Taolin Village Chief's House, Outside:

The news of Granny Ma's return to the village spread quickly, and many pious people came to the village entrance to greet her. But the most sensational thing is the resurrected villager. This villager's name is Niu Ben, and Chang Sheng calls him Uncle Niu. On that day, the whole village watched Uncle Niu be buried, and now he actually followed Granny Ma back by herself, how can people not be shocked!

The first thing Granny Ma did when she returned to the village was to go to the village chief's house. Village Chief Qiao's house was no longer crowded with people, and the old and young of Taolin Village surrounded the village chief's house.

About six or seven years ago, there was no doctor in Taolin Village who really knew how to heal. If the people in the village have any disasters and difficulties, they all go to consult Granny Ma.

Chang Sheng said that at that time, Granny Ma was a goddess who pretended to be a god and a ghost, relying on her so-called divination skills to prescribe some prescriptions randomly.

Later, a plague broke out in a nearby village, and Taolin Village was also implicated. For a while, half of the villagers fell ill, and Granny Ma was helpless except to burn incense and worship God.

At this time, Jiang Ye came to Taolin Village with a baby in his arms. He used his medical skills to heal the villagers, and even single-handedly quelled the plague and saved several nearby villages.

The village chief thanked him for his kindness and took the initiative to ask him to stay in Taolin Village as a doctor. At that time, Jiang Ye was over sixty years old, and it was extremely inconvenient to walk with a baby, so he agreed. Mr. Jiang has also been conscientious and conscientious over the years, and his medical skills are already well-known.

During that period, Jiang Ye and Granny Ma had their own supporters. Granny Ma's followers still believe in her, and they don't take medicine when they are sick. Jiang Ye accused Granny Ma of being a god who lived by deceiving the villagers and delaying the best treatment for the patient. And Granny Ma accused Jiang Ye of being disrespectful to ghosts and gods. The two seem to have a grudge. Later, Granny Ma quietly left Taolin Village, and no one knew where he went.

Yuan Xing pinched his chin with one hand: "It turns out that there is still this story." ”

"Isn't it? However, just three years ago, Granny Ma reappeared. She brought many prophecies, and they were all fulfilled. Since then, Granny Ma has returned to the village every other month to bring instructions from the gods to the villagers. The villagers don't dare to be disrespectful! ”

"Brother Chang, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes!" Su Wuqian interrupted.

Chang Sheng spread his hands, "That's the case!" Even the disaster of the white fog in Taolin Village, Granny Ma also predicted it! ”

There was a crowd of people behind him, and Su Wuqian and the others were squeezed and couldn't stand still. Jiang Ye, under the leadership of the villagers, is struggling to break through the crowd. When Old Man Jiang saw Yuan Xing, he pointed to the door and said, "Come in too!"

……………………………………

Taolin Village Chief's House, inside the house:

Village Chief Qiao sent irrelevant people out of the house to make room for Yuan Xing and the others. There was a brazier in the room, and Granny Ma was squatting in front of the brazier and grilling the animal bone in her hand. The yellow-white dry bones gradually cracked into a sinuous bone crack, crackling in the red light.

Since ancient times, the gods have always used tortoise shells and the sound of animal bones to convey their will. Burned by fire, beaten, the sometimes monotonous, sometimes changing mystical sound always seems to be full of wisdom.

Granny Ma's most common thing to do was to beat it around with animal bones, which she said was trying to talk to the gods. And only on very formal occasions will Granny Ma baptize the bones of the beast with pure fire.

No, as if she had received a will, Granny Ma recited the words again in her mouth:

"The swamp wetland is on fire, and the peach woodland of Yaoshan is turned over! The dragon swallows the way of the world, how do you know that the demon is not a human! ”

"What kind of revelation is this?" Village Chief Qiao didn't dare to lean forward at will, and asked cautiously.

The old woman shook her head and said that she did not know, she was only the messenger of God's will, and she did not know what it meant.

Jiang Ye didn't pay attention to Granny Ma since he entered the house, but he just focused on seeing Uncle Niu on the chair. Niu Ben is indeed alive and well at the moment, but he still has that sluggish expression.

"Doctor Jiang, can you see what's wrong?" Granny Ma asked with a smile.

Lost souls? Jiang Ye stretched out his hand and patted Uncle Niu's face, and instructed to the side: "Bring some cold water!" ”

"Don't bother." Granny Ma touched the white bones in her hand and said casually: "His soul has long been hooked." ”

Village Chief Qiao paced over and looked at Uncle Niu carefully. "The day before yesterday, I watched Niu Ben be buried, and he was undoubtedly dead! How did you come back to life today, what the hell is going on? ”

"This is the real Bull Run!" Granny Ma sneered. "The one you buried is not a human at all!
