Chapter 663: Cooperate with suspended animation
Ah Bao returned to Shenyang's management, probably because he knew the reason why Ah Bao joined them, Shenyang more or less let down his vigilance.
And Ah Bao is quick with his hands and feet, and he is also a good helper, Shenyang came back with a basket of herbs on his back, and saw him honestly squatting in front of the medicine jar, still holding a fan in his hand.
"How's it going today? Did you burn the medicine dry again? He took out the herbs from the bamboo basket one by one and placed them on the ground in different categories.
The leaves are still stained with dewdrops, obviously freshly picked, these are the herbs used to develop sleeping pills, some of the medicinal properties are not known, and they must be tried.
Before, Po was clumsy. also boiled the herbs dry, although he wouldn't do it again, but Shenyang liked to use this thing to make fun of him.
Ah Bao scratched his head, his face was a little honest: "No, I've watched it, it should be almost good now." ”
He lifted the lid, and the strong smell of herbs came to his face, if it was an ordinary person, he would have vomited a long time ago, but Ah Bao's face was as usual, and he did not receive a trace of influence, which was the reason why Shenyang had changed his opinion of him.
"Okay, this method doesn't work, I found another herb today, and I went through the classics, and my previous methods were all wrong."
Ah Bao was not disappointed when he heard this, and got up happily: "Really, that's great!" He glanced at the ground, and sure enough, there was an herb he had never seen before.
He pointed to the herbs and seemed a little embarrassed: "Is this it?" It seems to be a little little, and even if it can be boiled out, it is estimated that it is a very small portion. ”
Shenyang shook his head funny, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Stupid, who said that you must boil, just dry these herbs, grind them into powder, and mix them with others." ”
Ah Bao patted his head after hearing this, and looked like he suddenly realized, why didn't he think that if it was made into powder, then these medicinal materials on the ground would be more than enough.
"It's worthy of being a miracle doctor, you can think of it." He praised Shenyang, from the heart.
Shenyang squatted on the ground and fiddled with the medicinal herbs, without raising his head: "Then how about I take you as an apprentice?" I think you're quite spiritual. ”
Ah Bao was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive, and then his eyes lit up, not wanting to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"I do! As long as you don't dislike my food! Master! ”
Shenyang smiled dumbly, Ah Bao is sometimes very smart, and now even the master has shouted.
"In that case, I don't want to come and help." He tapped the ground with his chin, he had been trapped here for too long, and he didn't care about the red tape in the outside world for a long time, as long as Ah Bao called him Master, then the master-apprentice relationship would be settled.
Po smiled and didn't say much, but his joy could be felt between his movements.
There are not many herbs, and they are turned over quickly, and it just so happens that these two days are the big sun, Shenyang and Ah Bao are quick with their hands and feet, and they use up all the materials overnight, and they can do a little more.
"Master, this should be enough." Ah Bao weighed the cloth bag in his hand and asked Shenyang.
He cleaned his hands with water, took the cloth bag and nodded: "Enough, you wait here, I'll send it to Zhan Ge." ”
Zhan Ge wanted a lot and was anxious, and without a little time to rest, Shenyang called Zhan Ge out.
It's still the original bamboo forest, but it's deeper than the last time, in order not to delay time, Zhan Ge walked over quickly when he received the news, and didn't find the mage who came to find him.
"It's all here, it should be enough for you." Shenyang stuffed the cloth bag into his arms, wrapped it tightly, and didn't have to worry about it spilling.
"It's hard work, it's totally enough." Zhan Ge dismantled the cloth bag into three small parts, which made it easier to hide, otherwise such a large bag would be too eye-catching.
"What are you doing?" The mage was slow, and when he came, he only saw Zhan Ge stuffing things on his body.
He and Zhan Ge also have a cooperative relationship, so naturally he doesn't have much to worry about, and he doesn't treat himself as an outsider.
"See them all?" Shenyang felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, and the tone of the question was lazy.
The mage frowned, seemed to react, and put his index finger against his mouth in a silent gesture: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and won't say it." ”
Shenyang shrugged his shoulders and didn't pay attention to him, but asked Zhan Ge to come over and solve it.
Zhan Ge's eyes rolled, leaned over and whispered a few words in Shenyang's ear, he raised his eyebrows, took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Zhan Ge.
"There are only three in it, don't waste it."
Zhan Ge took it, poured out a pill in the palm of his hand, and could still smell the fragrance of Chinese medicine.
The mage stood motionless, his brain knew what Zhan Ge was going to do to him, but his body just didn't listen to him, and he froze in place.
"Eat, and suffer less." Zhan Ge stretched out his hand and handed it forward.
Seeing the mage's hesitation, Shenyang yawned and explained: "Don't worry, although it is poison, it will not seal your throat with blood, as long as you are obedient, you will definitely be given an antidote afterwards." ”
At the beginning, he wanted Bao's life, but this time it can be regarded as kind.
The mage knew that he couldn't hide today, so he could only blame himself for being too curious to keep up, so he took the pill tremblingly, closed his eyes, and swallowed it without even tasting any taste.
After a while, I didn't feel any discomfort before I opened my eyes with confidence.
"You're the only one who can move around here freely now, and I want you to do something for me." Zhan Ge said lightly.
"What?"
"Drugged, don't worry, it's not for you to be poisoned, it's just some sleeping pills, and after you succeed, no one will doubt you."
Shenyang answered on the side: "If you don't agree, then you don't want to get the antidote." ”
As soon as the two of them sang and harmonized, the mage's face turned pale with fright, and he nodded in agreement.
Shenyang gave him a lot of sleeping pills, and Zhan Ge only gave two copies to the mage, and kept the rest for himself to use later.
"Just find a moment and just throw this in." Zhan Ge also carefully advised before leaving.
It's a matter of his own life, and I believe that the mage will not dare to be sloppy.
"By the way, you're going to catch ghosts tonight, so you can get them ready."
"No, where are the ghosts going to catch, won't this be exposed?" The mage subconsciously retorted, after all, he was the one who knew the inside story.
"You don't have to worry about this, naturally I'm here." Zhan Ge waved his hand and motioned for him to be wrapped.
Although the mage was a little skeptical, he could only do so.
The three left. The mage gathered his emotions and walked to where the battalion commander was.
After the last time, he was also a lifesaver in the mine, and the battalion commander saw him come over and greeted him with a smile.
"What is the so-called matter of the master coming here now, is it possible that he doesn't like it?" The battalion commander rubbed his hands, his face full of flattery.
He shook his head, put one hand behind his back, and said, "I watch the sky at night, today is the most suitable time to catch ghosts, you hurry up and prepare, don't delay." ”
The battalion commander was stunned when he heard this, but quickly reacted and nodded again and again: "I know, let's go and prepare." ”
"Wait, I'm going to do it in the mine, and I'll just move things there when the time comes."
The battalion commander nodded in agreement, and the mage breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at his back.
Zhan Ge trotted all the way, looking back from time to time to see if anyone was following, and walked all the way to the old man's cave with his memory.
He sat on the stone, and Ling'er lay on the bed, as if asleep.
"Boy, are you here?" The old man noticed his footsteps and got up and asked Zhan Ge to go to the other side with him, so as not to disturb Ling'er to sleep.
Zhan Ge quickly looked at Ling'er lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully, except for some flowers on his little face, he was not injured in any way.
Only then did he let go of his heart and followed the old man to breathe calmly.
"How's the thing I gave you?" The old man asked straight to the point, with a hint of impatience between his eyebrows.
"Almost, everything is in plan, but ......" Zhan Ge deliberately lengthened his voice and did not finish his words.
"But what?" The old man said anxiously, and Zhan Ge sneered in his heart.
"I need you one more time." Zhan Ge stretched out his index finger and continued: "This opportunity is rare, you must come out, you can rest assured that your identity will not be exposed." ”
"Why should I trust you, how many times have I helped you?" The old man didn't appreciate it.
Zhan Ge shrugged indifferently: "Do you have any other choice?" Either cooperate with me, or the previous efforts will be in vain. ”
"You threaten me." The old man gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"No, it's up to you to do it or not, do you need to give you time to think about it?"
The old man's breathing was a little heavier, and his hands clenched into fists: "Okay, I agree." ”
Zhan Ge triumphantly hooked the corners of his mouth and whispered his plan.
Then he straightened his back and said, "Just pretend to fight, and then fake your death." ”
The old man looked down as if to consider the feasibility of this approach, and finally nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Zhan Ge wanted to go to see Ling'er once, but was stopped by the old man, as if revenge, he said proudly: "You have seen it today, you can go back." ”
He pursed his lips and finally turned to leave.
Things were quickly ready, and the mage straightened his clothes, his palms were sweaty, and his eyes were blank, and he didn't see a familiar figure.
The battalion commander had already begun to drive people away, and the crowd began to panic, and a figure passed by the mage and said softly: "Everything is arranged, don't worry." ”
Only then did the mage relax, and a clearing was separated in the middle, and the crowd could only watch from a distance.
Suddenly, the wind was blowing, and the people who were blowing in the dark sand and stones couldn't open their eyes, and the figure of the mage in the middle became blurred.
The mage let out a loud shout, and those who could barely see could only catch a glimpse of the mage entangled with a black shadow, the figure flipping, and it was difficult to tell who had the upper hand for a while.
"Don't worry, I'll disappear on my own." The old man was a little tired from acting, and said softly in his ear, and the strength in his hands was a little lighter.
The mage nodded gratefully, it was too hard to deal with the old man.
The old man realized that the mage could not support it, and immediately pulled away, and the mage shouted, and the whole world returned to silence.
For the sake of realism, he tore open his clothes, looking a little embarrassed, and the peachwood sword stabbed into the ground, and he fell to his knees, his face pale.
The flying sand and rocks dispersed, and everyone immediately rushed up and asked about the situation.
He raised his hand to silence everyone and continued, "Don't be impatient, the evil ghost hasn't been eliminated yet!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all knew each other and refused to come forward.
