Chapter 139: Corpse Spotted Snake and Shadow Ghost
In fact, there was no way to try it, the old man had already believed what Ye Qing said from the bottom of his heart.
The reason is very simple, from beginning to end, he never said that his illness fell after being bitten by a poisonous snake, and this little girl, without looking at it, has already accurately said the cause of the disease, if he really has no ability, it is absolutely impossible to do this.
But having said that, the old man rushed into the small kitchen for the first time, couldn't wait to open the seasoning box, picked up the spoon, and tried all kinds of condiments in one go.
"Ah, salty, salty."
"Hey, how is this bitter, no wonder Azaro ate my cookies last time, and he won't eat anything in the future."
"Also, who brought the pepper these days, why did it last so long, and it's still so spicy."
……
In this way, he nested alone in the ear room, holding the seasoning box and talking to himself, I don't know, I am afraid that I still think he has some Alzheimer's disease, only Ye Qing knows that his performance at this moment is complete, and it is the most real and natural expression of human nature.
After a while, the old man finally put down his excitement, returned to his usual expression, and walked out of the small kitchen with a smile.
"By the way, little girl, I remember that you seem to have said before that if you want to fully recover from this disease, you still need a medicinal bath treatment, I don't know, what herbs are needed?"
In the end, it is a person who has rich life experience, and when he encounters this situation, he can calm down and ask these detailed questions in addition to being excited.
And it just so happened that what Ye Qing was waiting for was exactly what he said.
"The prescription is in my heart, and if you need it, I can not only write it out, but also provide the required herbs for free."
"Really?" The old man looked incredulous, and just wanted to thank him, but instantly seemed to remember something again, tightened his expression, and asked tentatively: "Wait, there is no free lunch in the world, you are doing this to force me to tell the specific location of Tiannan?" ”
"That's right!"
Ye Qing said bluntly: "In addition to Tiannan's location, I also want to know where you got this jade tablet on the kang." ”
"What?" The old man gasped, his eyes were full of vigilance and stared at Ye Qing for a long time, shaking his head and denying: "What jade tablet, I don't understand what you're talking about." ”
"It's okay if you don't understand."
Ye Qing didn't force him, and stood up with a smile: "Anyway, the poison on your body, I have already opened the occlusion pass with a silver needle, if you don't force out the toxin by the medicinal bath within twenty-four hours, even if Da Luo Jinxian is alive, there will be no way to return to the sky." ”
The old man's face sank suddenly, and the dim candle flame reflected on his face, swaying like a ghost.
He was irritable, and subconsciously put his hand into his arms and took out the tin flask.
As soon as he unscrewed the lid, the sour and rancid smell in the wine seeped out, and at this moment, Ye Qing said unhurriedly: "By the way, I just forgot to add, since the acupuncture points have been penetrated, then, if you take these ghost things again, not only will they not be able to suppress them, but they will also accelerate your death in advance......
Hearing this, the old man's hand froze, and he angrily re-tied the cap of the bottle, and with a clang, threw the tin flask into the corner angrily.
"Wait, don't go yet!"
He opened his mouth to stop her: "Tiannan's secret is related to the life and death of our Canglong Sect, do you want to know?" OK! However, in this matter, you have to ask Master Zu's opinion first. ”
It's a pity that Ye Qing didn't buy it: "The deceased is gone, the living are the greatest, what is the opinion of your grandfather, isn't it up to you?" ”
"Good, good."
After a long silence, the old man did not laugh angrily, his wrinkled face smiled like a blooming cosmos: "I have never served anyone at such an age, and I have to say today, little girl, you are ruthless enough!" ”
Ye Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Then you agreed?" ”
"No, you heard me wrong, I clearly didn't say anything."
He stroked his gray beard and said in a pretended profoundness: "You should know that old people always have a bad memory, and it is common for them to leak a few words from time to time. ”
"Leaking your mouth?" The corners of Ye Qing's mouth curved slightly, and when she heard the deep meaning of his words, she paused and waited for the following.
However, after waiting for a long time, he did not speak.
Ye Qing's mind moved, knowing what he was thinking, so he had to remove the backpack on his shoulder, take out a few medicinal materials stored in the space from it, and put them on the table one by one.
"Yes, yes, working with smart people really saves worry and effort."
He glanced at the medicinal herbs on the table, nodded, and lifted the quilt on the kang, the top layer was a thick wooden board, and there was a round hole in the middle, the old man stretched out two fingers to buckle the hole, and pulled hard, and the wooden board retreated like a drawer lid.
It was still pitch black inside, but Ye Qing could already vaguely feel that a faint aura fluctuation like a gossamer was floating lightly in the earthen tile house.
A ** bag was pulled out of the kang hole by the old man, and in an instant, the blue light was awe-inspiring, like the jade illuminated by the lights at the jewelry exhibition, emitting bursts of moving cold light.
"It's beautiful!" She sighed from the bottom of her heart.
The whole piece of spiritual jade is natural, almost half a meter high, crystal clear, bright as a bright glow, take a closer look, you can also see the front position, carved with hollow patterns, like an ancient charm, dense, revealing a sense of mystery.
"Beautiful, huh?" The old man smiled, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I saw this thing for the first time, I knelt down directly, I believe that no one has ever been able to ignore this beauty that goes deep into the bone marrow, you know, this is the boundary monument of the Inner God Mountain, and it is the cornerstone of the Buddha's spiritual entrance." ”
"Inner Divine Mountain?" Ye Qing heard this title for the first time, "Where is the Inner Divine Mountain?" ”
The old man couldn't help but sigh, looked back at her and asked, "Why, you know Tiannan, but you don't know where the Inner God Mountain is?" ”
She nodded.
"That's a strange thing, I thought you should know a lot about the mountain." He refilled the oil lamp, and the room became bright again.
Ye Qing tried to reply, "Isn't the sacred mountain Mount Kailash?" ”
"You can say yes, you can say no." The old man said, "Mount Kailash is nothing more than a symbol or a symbol for you, and most people don't know its true meaning at all, so they just run around and join in the fun." In fact, Kailash is a sacred mountain, but the sacred mountain is not just Kailash, in addition to legends, it also involves the distinction between inside and outside, Tiannan, which is an important intersection between inside and outside, outside Tiannan, is the outer sacred mountain, and within Tiannan, is the inner sacred mountain. ”
"This jade tablet is a spiritual object of the Inner God Mountain, so you have been to Tiannan?"
"That's right, it's because I've been there, that's why I know that Azaro's trip is destined to be a life of death."
Ye Qing seemed to know something, and asked, "If you guessed correctly, the illness on your body fell because you entered the Inner God Mountain, right?" ”
The old man nodded gloomily: "That place is not at all for ordinary people to go, there are dangers everywhere, disasters everywhere, oh no, it can't be said to be a disaster, it's just a nightmare, it's a curse!" Anyone who disturbs the peace of the gods will not end well! ”
When he said this, there was a panicked look on his face.
Ye Qing was puzzled: "It's just a corpse snake, is it so terrifying?" ”
The old man chattered, "That's because you haven't met a shadowcaster." ”
Listening to his recollections, Ye Qing knew that ten years ago, an archaeological team discovered the existence of Neishen Mountain, and they wanted to enter it to explore, but they couldn't find where the entrance was.
Ten years ago, the old city of Pulan was in a state of ruin, with Tibetans living in poverty, natural disasters and no decent roads nearby.
So the travel fee of 10,000 yuan completely moved him.
It was the first time the old man came to Tiannan, the road was difficult to walk, and it rained for several days in a row, and the group struggled for more than half a week before walking from the foot of the sacred mountain to the destination. That night, they spent the night in the Outer God Mountain, and the night was still uneventful, and the next morning, not long after entering the Inner God Mountain from Tiannan, an accident happened.
As they passed through a dark forest, they encountered the Shadowcasters.
Ye Qing asked, "What does the shadow ghost look like?" ”
The old man replied: "To be honest, I can't see clearly, I only know that it was still bright tomorrow, we entered the woods not long ago, and suddenly it was dark, and the people of the archaeological team were worried that it would not be safe to stay in the woods after the rain, so they hurriedly urged them to go on the road, but before they had gone far, they saw a black shadow like a small mountain, hulala flew over their heads, with a burst of fishy smell, and with a whoosh, it was gone." At first, I thought it was a delusion, until I heard the screams of the people walking in front of me, and then one of the girls in the archaeological team ran back in a panic, all the way, and cried all the way and said, 'There are ghosts, there are ghosts, there are ghosts'. In a panic, I also ran along, but I tripped over the ancient vine halfway through, rolled down the slope, and when I woke up, I encountered the big snake. ”
Ye Qing didn't hear any useful information from here, so she asked again: "You didn't see it clearly at the time, what about the others?" ”
"Others?" He smiled bitterly: "The others, as early as when I rolled down the slope, were swallowed into the stomach by the shadow ghost, how can they survive." ”
Ye Qing pondered for a moment, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the shadow ghost in the old man's mouth was very likely to be some kind of unknown monster.
Since ancient times, there have been many rare beasts in the deep mountains, some of which are species that have not been extinct in ancient times, because of the changes of time, they have experienced countless evolutions while surviving, and finally survived in some almost supernatural form, just like the water monster of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, and the wild man of Shennongjia.
Others, introduced invaders, because of the lack of competitors in the new environment, have played a dominant role in the local ecosystem, such as the eutrophication of water bodies and the super-fertile brown rat.
