Chapter 9: Lingbi is attacked
Since his injuries had not healed, the two of us walked slowly, and Shinma walked slowly.
While admiring the beautiful scenery on the side of the road, I was thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
Gradually, I figured out some clues, and it seemed that as long as I concentrated my strength to promote spiritual power, and silently recited the incense mantra in my heart, I could flick my fingers and water.
At this time, I didn't know that my predecessor was actually a drop of morning dew on the lotus leaf outside the Cloud Hall of the Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun Cloud Hall of the Shangqing Realm.
As he walked, he silently chanted a mantra to stimulate his spiritual power, and his fingertips really popped out water droplets and fell on a thorny wildflower on the side of the road, and in an instant, he saw that the flower was thorny and blooming.
As soon as the spell was completed, I tried it on a few wild flowers and weeds on the side of the road, and I found it very interesting.
Gradually comprehended the words of the sage that my uncle taught us often: "The good is like water, the water is good for all things without fighting, and the evil art of everyone is better than the Tao......"
It turns out that the greatest goodness in this world is to be like water, with kindness as the bones and weakness as the character, nourishing and moistening all living beings, purifying and washing away filth, and not contending with all things.
Walking until noon, I saw a tea house on the side of the road, after trying the magic repeatedly, I felt thirsty and unbearable, called Niu Chen, and got off the horse to rest.
"It's inevitable to get excited when you first get a glimpse of the method, but do you know that the trickle of water flows for a long time?" As soon as he sat down, Niu Chen said earnestly.
"Ling'er, I just watched you cast a spell, it must be a water system technique, and if you waste spiritual power, you must be thirsty and uncomfortable."
He poured me a cup of tea, paused for a moment, and then said: "I will immediately cultivate the Fa and ask, when it is our responsibility to support justice, eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and help all beings in the world, although the spiritual power spell has a small success, how can it be a child's play and joke at will?"
"Got it, got it", I pouted, "You're not like me, you've been by my uncle's side all the year round, how did you get to learn his master's tone?"
Whispering a complaint to Niu Chen, I picked up the teacup and drank the tea by myself.
This tea house is located on the side of the road in the mountains and forests, there are not many pedestrians passing by, except for the two of us drinking tea here and resting, only there are two middle-aged people with swords chatting in the room.
A person on the left is talking: "I heard that the snake demon on Lingbi Mountain is really not easy to mess with"
The middle-aged man on the right also echoed: "Yes, the little girl who was poisoned yesterday heard that she is still a disciple of the unborn master in Luo Xiao Mountain." Although she is a female streamer, she can be under the door of that master, if you talk about magic cultivation, it is not comparable to us small cultivators. ”
The man on the left nodded: "Yes, yes!" It is said that there are snake demons on Lingbi Mountain, and they are such ruthless characters, and they really have to go around in the future! ”
Niu Chen heard the two of them talk about the demons, got up and hugged his fists and asked, "Two immortal friends, what you said about Lingbi Mountain where snakes and demons are causing trouble, but here?"
I heard that among them, Luo Xiaoshan's female disciple was injured and poisoned, and I was worried about the safety of my future sister-in-law and little girlfriend Ji Yue, so I also hurriedly stood up and asked: "The two are polite, I heard what the two immortal friends said, how can there be any people in the immortal sect who have been poisoned?"
The one on the left also stood up and said: "Immortal friends are polite, we don't know what the specific situation is, we only heard that there is a Lingbi Mountain to the west, and the immortal gate is rumored, and there is a spiritual snake where it has been cultivated to a positive fruit." A few days ago, the snake demon in the mountain somehow came out of the hole and hurt people's lives. It seems to be ...... Bitten...... A few passers-by, I heard that it is also a person from our Xianmen, the little fairy chief who is the leader, I said that they are the reclusive master of Luo Xiaoshan, and I have asked the two of us how to go faster in the medical fairy valley, and one of them has a girl whose face is blue, and it seems that she has been poisoned by snakes. ”
After listening to the middle-aged monk, I couldn't hold back, I couldn't drink the tea, and I didn't feel how thirsty I was.
Worried that something would happen to the eldest brother and Sister Xuefei and their group, I thanked the two monks, sat down and discussed with Niu Chen, we will not go back to the mountain for the time being, go to Lingbi Mountain to see the situation, and then, the two got up and left the tea house, and rode their horses straight to the direction of Lingbi Mountain in the west.
The eldest brother and the others have been walking down the mountain for a few days, and I thought it was time to enter the desert.
After three days of riding our horses, Niu Chen and I arrived near Lingbi.
Outside a half-burned grass house at the foot of Lingbi Mountain, I found Ah Huan, who was guarding the herbal gift cart.
Although I haven't seen me for more than a month, Ah Huan felt very kind when he saw me, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
Hurriedly ran forward and said, "Miss Ling, are you here?" Yesterday, when the eldest prince of Zixiu sent the Yue girl to find the medical immortal valley to detoxify, he sent a letter to the ancestor, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."
Seeing Niu Chen beside me, I said stupidly: "Hello Gongzi Chen, it's good that you are here."
Niu Chen looked at the half-burned grass hut and the carriage and horses outside the house: "Well, we are here." Ah Huan, are you alone? What the hell is going on? He looked around briefly and inquired in detail about what had happened that day.
It turned out that the eldest brother and his party had arrived at the foot of Lingbi Mountain three days ago, and they were about to go to the edge of the desert. Because it is a desert outside the Lingbi land, I made up some supplies in the town near Lingbi Mountain, and at night, I stayed in this grass house under Lingbi Mountain
Immortal cultivators don't pay attention to comfort and comfort, and the eldest brother and Sister Xuefei often go down the mountain to get rid of demons, and they have long been accustomed to being at ease when they meet.
After dinner, the eldest brother simply set up an enchantment and told Ah Huan that they went to bed early.
Who knows, in the middle of the night, a corner of the grass house, suddenly a fire broke out, the eldest brother and they hurriedly got up and wanted to withdraw from the grass house, and when they were panicking, a person dressed in black appeared, destroyed the enchantment set by the eldest brother, and also shot, wanting to capture Ji Yue, who had the weakest skills.
The eldest brother and Sister Xuefei did their best to save Jiyue, and Ji Yue did not fall into the hands of thieves.
But after the chaos, Ji Yue suddenly fainted, as if she had been injured by a sneak attack by the gangsters, her whole body was cold, and her face and lips were bruised, as if she had been poisoned.
Although Ji Yue is proficient in medical skills, it is difficult for a doctor to treat herself, not to mention that she is already in a coma and unconscious.
Interlaced like a mountain, with a cart of herbs empty, except for the unconscious Ji Yue, eldest brother, Sister Xue Fei and Ah Huan, none of them knew how to use it.
Just when the eldest brother and a few of them were helpless, a Xuanyi Taoist appeared outside the grass house.
He told his eldest brother and others that he was near Lingbi Mountain these days, and wanted to eradicate a snake demon who was doing evil in the mountain.
Xuanyi Taoist claims to be the eldest disciple of Taishang Zhenren, Xuanlingzi Xianzun, who has been practicing in Jiuzhi Mountain since he was a child.
A month ago, Xuan Lingzi Xianzun heard that there was a snake demon here to disturb people, this Taoist himself said that his name was Weishan, and said that it was his master Xuan Lingzi Xianzun, I heard that there was a snake demon here to disturb people, and sent him down the mountain to catch demons and eliminate trouble.
He took a look at Ji Yue's face, and took her pulse, and deduced that it was probably possible that Ji Yue was poisoned by the snake demon in this mountain, and invited the eldest brother to go up the mountain with him on the second day to remove the demon and seize the antidote.
Early in the morning of the second day, Sister Xuefei stayed to take care of her sister, and the eldest brother took Ah Huan and the Taoist priest into Lingbi Mountain together, and searched for a day, but there was no snake demon in the mountain, and the snake demon's cave was not found.
Seeing that Ji Yue's face was getting worse and worse, her condition was getting worse and worse, and her life was in danger.
Sister Xue Fei vaguely remembered that when she was young, there was a medical fairy Uncle Lu who was very good friends with the third uncle, and the third uncle once took her to the Medical Immortal Valley, which should be on the border between Lingbi Mountain and the desert.
The eldest brother passed a letter to the ancestor, and hurriedly accompanied Sister Xuefei and took Ji Yue to find the Doctor Immortal Valley.
Ah Huan was left alone, staying at the grass hut at the foot of Lingbi Mountain, taking care of the medicinal herbs, waiting for us to come to help.
Ah Huan was telling us about what happened here, when we saw a Taoist man wearing a Taoist robe walking towards us, this person had hair tied on the top of his head, slender eyes, eyebrows turned up to the left and right, a black mole on the corner of his mouth, and a wisp of goatee next to his chin.
looks shrewd and capable, this person is the Taoist chief named Weishan.
"Miss Ling'er, it's him, he said that Miss Moon was poisoned by snakes." Ah Huan saw him coming, and pointed to the person who came to introduce me.
"A few people, poor and mountainous, polite." The Xuanyi Taoist shook us.
Niu Chen, we also returned the courtesy, "The Taoist is polite." ”
After greeting each other with him, Niu Chen and the four of us discussed together how to lure the snake out of the hole, seize the antidote and then remove it.
"Since you came to help, you shouldn't have intervened, but the snake demon in this mountain is cunning and vicious." The Taoist chief opened his mouth first.
Niu Chen took it and said: "Where is the Taoist chief, we just came, and I hope that the Taoist will take care of it for the first time." ”
"Since Gongzi Chen, he said so, and the old way is not easy to shirk."
Ah Huan interjected: "Didn't we go up the mountain?" Didn't find any snake demons? ”
Weishan Dao Chang glanced at Ah Huan and said: "A few days ago, he alone injured this snake girl, this snake is cunning, so he has only avoided the hole recently, and cast a spell to hide the hole entrance, and we will pounce when we go up with your eldest son." ”
"Oh? In that case, is there any way to get her to open the door herself? Niu Chen asked.
It's such a problem, has she been hiding from the hole, and we've been waiting here?
The Taoist chief smiled: "As the saying goes, 'the magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high', I have already inquired about her habits." ”
"I want to hear about it!" Brother Chen asked directly.
"Don't worry, Gongzi Chen, I have inquired with the villagers here in the past two days, the snake girl on this mountain is named Yaoqing, and on weekdays, she has always used the reason of giving medicine to lead the villagers into the mountain to ask for medicine, and suck people Lingyuan for cultivation."
"The day before yesterday, it was probably supposed that she needed Lingyuan to heal her injuries, so she would venture down the mountain and out of the cave, wanting to kidnap your Jiyue girl. Since she wants Lingyuan, I'll look ......" He looked at me, looking up and down.
"What are you going to do?" Niu Chen and Ah Huan stepped forward at the same time, blocking in front of me.
