Chapter 22: The Ancient Fierce Birds
When night fell, the lights of each house began to light up one by one, reflecting the moonlight on the horizon, which was very peaceful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Great sage and good teacher, you sit down for a while, my mother will go out to get some wine, and I will be back soon, we must have a good drink tonight!" Mu Shan warmly welcomed Zhang Jiao and the others into the house, looked back at Qin Mei, who had already walked away, and asked in a condensed voice: "Great sage and good teacher, you have also seen a lot of villagers, do we have any ...... in Tianyin Village?"
Mu Shan lit the oil lamp, and the warm yellow light reflected his face uncertainly: "You know what I mean." ”
Zhang Jiao sat by the oil lamp, looking at the dim and uncertain sky outside the thatched house, and his voice began to become low: "Within three days, the old, weak, sick and disabled will begin to show various symptoms, fever, edema, ulceration, pus, until death!" ”
Zhang Jiao's words were undoubtedly a sharp blade, piercing deep into Mu Shan's heart.
"Bang!" In front of Mu Shan, the faint light rushed upwards without warning, forming a brilliant and blazing fireball, illuminating the room red.
Zhang Jiao's upper body moved back slightly, avoiding being burned by the flames. And Lian Duxue, who was on the side, reacted even more violently, her body suddenly floated back, and she stared at Mu Shan with a wary face.
The fireball flickered, leaving a deeper darkness in its wake.
The faintly flickering light seemed to have a trace of coldness in the eyes of Zhang Jiao and Mu Shan.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on, but when the mind is excited, this uncontrollable unexpected phenomenon occurs. Mu Shan came back to his senses and asked in a low voice: "Great sage and good teacher, your wisdom is well known in the sea, but there is any good medicine to cure this plague and save the people in the village." ”
Zhang Jiao stared deeply at Mu Shan's face full of sorrow, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, which was extremely obvious in this dark thatched house: "Yes, but the chance of success is not great, we can only do our best and obey the fate of heaven!" ”
Mu Shan slapped the table excitedly, and asked impatiently, "What should I do?!" Although you command, as long as you can save my mother and them, even if you go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will not give up! ”
"Little brother, don't worry, sit down first and listen to me slowly." Zhang Jiao stretched out his hand and motioned for Mu Shan to sit down, and then said earnestly: "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell, since this plague is caused by the hook, the cure will naturally fall on the hook." ”
"Hooks? Is that weird duck that smells so bad? Mu Shan's two thick eyebrows suddenly twisted together, and he asked puzzledly: "Great sage and good teacher, can that stinky duck not only spread the plague, but also cure the disease?" ”
"Don't underestimate it!" Zhang Jiao said eloquently: "Legend has it that in ancient times, the gods and demons were divided, the war was continuous, and large-scale massacres often occurred, and the corpses were not buried excessively. ”
In order to vent his unwillingness and resentment, he spread the plague everywhere, causing a large number of innocent people to be tortured to death. However, this move finally angered one of the three emperors who had no quarrel with the world, Shennong. ”
Zhang Jiao said with a melancholy expression: "Shennong shot to kill the hook, and put the Huangquan Zhu transformed by the resentment of the hook into the Shennong Ding to refine, but what happened in it, causing the Huangquanzhu to escape. Then, whenever there is about to break out in the world, Huang Quanzhu will come out at the right time, incarnate as a hook, spread plagues everywhere, kill innocent people, and absorb their negative emotions such as resentment, fear, and unwillingness when they are dying, and strengthen their own ......"
"Great Sage and Good Master, you have said so much, what does it have to do with the healing of the plague, you can't let me go to Shennong, one of the legendary Three Emperors." At the moment, Mu Shan was not interested enough to listen to some ancient anecdotes, what he wanted to know more was how to save Qin Mei, Xiuniang and Ji Li's lives: "Great Sage and Good Master, you can directly tell me the method, what elixir you need to find, no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to find it." ”
"Hehe, little brother, I can understand your feelings, you calm down first." Zhang Jiao's eyes narrowed even closer, and the corners of his mouth showed a meaningful smile: "If you want to save this plague, you don't need any elixir." Only one bead is needed, called Huangquan Pearl! ”
Mu Shan raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Huang Quanzhu, didn't you say that Huang Quanzhu incarnated into a hook?" The plague emanated from that bead, and it could not suck all the plague back! Great sages, now is not the time to joke. ”
"Hehe, little brother, do you look like I'm joking with you?" Zhang Jiao still looked at Mu Shan with a smile and said, "Human life is at stake, how can it be child's play!" Huangquanzhu was refined by Shennong into Shennongding, and it already has a kind of magical power, which can not only cast the poison of the plague, but also absorb and cure all kinds of toxins in the world. Therefore, as long as you have the Huangquan Pearl, the plague in Tianyin Village can be solved! ”
"But the dead duck didn't know where it had gone, and three days was too short to find it! You can't go to the village and post a notice to find ducks, right? Mu Shan stood up, paced back and forth in the house, and said irritably: "Even if I can find it, not to mention its thick skin and rough flesh, ordinary weapons will not work on it at all, and more importantly, it can fly, once I let it fly, I can only watch it on the ground and stare dryly." ”
Mu Shan was anxious, and when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Jiao out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't move away anymore, and pleaded eagerly: "Great sage and good teacher, didn't you say that you want to help the poor and helpless people, this is the right time." Not only do you have a compassionate mind, but you also have great powers, and you must have a way to clean up that stinky duck, right? ”
Zhang Jiao suffocated slightly, looked Mu Shan up and down, and wondered if the man in front of him who looked five big and three rough would always be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger: "Little brother, it's not that Zhang Jiao shirks, but he really can't do it." I do have a little supernatural power, but the plague around my body is that I don't dare to get contaminated with it, otherwise I will definitely die! Hey, if the people of Luowu Pavilion are here, it will be easy to do, legend has it that their archery skills are unparalleled in the world, and they can take people's heads thousands of miles away. It's a pity that the time is too rushed, and the distant water still can't save the near fire after all. ”
"Mu Shan, are you at home?" The voice of the owner of Guan Zhuang, with a strong sense of joy, came to Mu Shan's ears from afar.
Qin Mei, Xiuniang, and Geely are facing the ravages of the plague, and they don't know if they can survive, Mu Shan is in a state of distraction, panic and irritability, and the owner of Guan Zhuang, who is bent on settling the county order, happened to bump into him, and immediately ignited all kinds of emotions that Mu Shan had accumulated in his heart, and he was furious!
"Oh, what a big bear, this head, I'm afraid it's already a sperm!" Guan Zhuang walked into the house, looked at Zhang Jiao and Lian Duxue in the house, secretly surprised in his heart, couldn't help staring for a long time, and said, "These two are ......."
"Master Guan, what are you doing?"
Mu Shan's voice carried a surge of anger, and the owner of Guan Zhuang on the side was displeased.
The little guy who was following the owner of Guan Zhuang was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by the owner of Guan Zhuang in advance: "I heard that you hunted a wild bear that has become a sperm, so I came to take a look and fulfill my previous promise by the way." ”
The owner of Guan Zhuang waved his right hand forward, and the little guy behind him held a plate of silver taels with white flowers and brought it to Mu Shan: "Mu Shan, don't know how to lift it, this is the owner of the village to reward you, don't accept it quickly." ”
"Boom" The oil lamp behind Mu Shan, the flame soared suddenly, like a pillar ......of fire, straight to the roof.
All the people in the room suddenly changed color, and they stepped back in horror, looking in amazement at the pillar of fire that was about to set the roof on fire.
Mu Shan's face gradually turned iron-blue, and the anger in his heart kept rolling, and he shouted angrily: "Hmph, who is rare about your stinky money, get back to me!" ”
"Mu Shan, what do you mean by this!" Guan Zhuang's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If it's too little, I can send someone to send some more......"
Mu Shan yelled impatiently: "Money, money, money, you think it's great to have money!" If you have money, you can buy anything! Bear bile is for auspiciousness, not for you, bring your silver, go back to your Guanjiazhuang, my temple here is small, I can't accommodate your great god! ”
"You ......" The little guy was about to attack, but was stopped by the owner of Guan Zhuang waving his hand.
The owner of Guan Zhuang looked at Mu Shan with a serious face, and in his eyes, in addition to anger, he could vaguely see a little appreciation: "Let's go!" ”
