Chapter 64: The Elixir
The next day, Jiang Xiaobai went to the outskirts of Xicheng again, and this time he also brought Bai Qi with him.
Outside a small courtyard with green eaves and red tiles, there was a lush green cage in front of the fence, Jiang Xiaobai stood in front of the door, thought left and right for a while, and knocked on the courtyard door. After a while, I heard a clear and immature voice coming, "It's coming!" ”
It was Yue'er who opened the door, and when she saw that it was Jiang Xiaobai, she said obediently: "Big brother!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Yue'er, see who I brought here?" ”
After that, he clapped his hands, and a group of people walked out from the side, wearing a blue-gray robe, holding Buddha dust, although he was short and chubby, but he looked radiant, fairy-winded, and quite dusty.
This Taoist is none other than Bai Qi. Yesterday, after the fortune teller Boss Li left, Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to play the role of dispensing medicine, and the Taoist uniform that Bai Qi was wearing was brought by him in Xuanqingguan. And those medicines placed under the altar, Jiang Xiaobai not only distributed them to the people, but also kept a few servings for himself, and asked Meng Da to identify them, and after confirming that they were all medicinal ingredients, he decided to come to Yue'er's house and let Bai Qi play the role of "immortal friend" in his mouth.
Yue'er's eyes lit up, she blinked, and said happily: "Could it be that this is what the eldest brother said...?" ”
"Yue'er is so smart, she guessed it right at once." Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "This is what I am talking about immortals, earth consumption stars and white sun rats." ”
Yue'er was overjoyed in her heart, and when she saw Bai Qi's appearance, she was even more convinced of Jiang Xiaobai's words, and after sweetly shouting "Good immortals", she shouted happily in the house: "Mother, the immortals are here, Daddy is saved!" ”
When Yue'er heard this, she hurriedly ran out of the house, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Childe... This is? ”
Jiang Xiaobai winked and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this is the immortal I specially invited to treat Yue'er's father. ”
Yue'er's mother immediately understood, and said respectfully: "Immortals, please." ”
Bai Qi let out a faint "um", walked into the house slowly, and after glancing at Yue'er's father slightly, he was slightly surprised.
Yue'er opened her big eyes and asked with a blank eye, "Immortal, did my father really collide with the ghosts and gods?" ”
Bai Qi didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and Yue'er said in a panic: "What should I do then?" ”
"Don't worry, wait for me to find out which ghost is doing it." Bai Qi said, Buddha dust was lifted, his left hand was already a sword technique, and he muttered a spell in his mouth. After a while, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "There is! Your father is the wild pig demon in the seventy-two cave demon kings of Nanyang Mountain. ”
Jiang Xiaobai saw that Bai Qi was pretending to be presentable and talking like a matter, and he was amused in his heart, but Yue'er firmly believed in this, and said gloomily: "Could it be that Daddy is teasing horses all day long..."
Bai Qi said lightly: "Yes, that day was the day when this horse demon came out of the mountain, and I happened to see you performing on the street, so I mistakenly thought that I was teasing its descendants, so I sent a demon to punish your father." ”
When Yue'er heard this, she immediately turned red-eyed, and said hurriedly: "Immortal, you quickly think of a way to save my father." ”
"This wild pig horse demon was originally the mount of Emperor Nanhua, and this time he secretly went down to earth to be a demon, presumably his master didn't know, wait for me to go and say." Bai Qi closed his eyes again, pretending to be out of his body, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes, "The horse demon has been subdued, and it will not come out to harm the world again." ”
After Bai Qi finished talking, he took out the medicine given by Jiang Xiaobai in advance from his bosom like a trick, handed it to Yue'er's mother, and continued: "This is the elixir given to me by Emperor Nanhua, which can be used to break the demon art." ”
Yue'er's mother looked at Jiang Xiaobai herself, her expression was quite hesitant, and when she saw Jiang Xiaobai nodded, she took the medicine, got up and boiled the medicine and left.
After that, Yue'er asked a lot of things about fairies and ghosts, this Bai Qi can also blow, the way of heaven has changed, and the evil ghosts of hell have all said it thoroughly, and Yue'er has heard it sometimes longing and sometimes afraid.
At this time, Yue'er's mother had boiled the medicine and brought it in with her hands, she sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and blew the medicine in the bowl gently, and after the temperature could enter the throat, she slowly fed the medicine into Yue'er's father's mouth with a spoon, and when the whole bowl of medicine was fed, it was already half an hour.
Then, none of the four people in the room spoke again, all looking nervous, waiting for the result. After a while, they saw that the black spots on Yue'er's father's body had degenerated into dark red, and when several people saw this, they knew that the effect of the medicine had taken effect, and their faces couldn't help but show joy.
After another half an hour, only to hear a sick and weak voice from the bed, Yue'er's father slowly opened his eyes and coughed a few times, Yue'er and her mother immediately cried with joy, and pounced on them at once: "Daddy, you finally woke up!" ”
Yue'er's father patted the two of them on the back weakly, and muttered in a low voice, "I am..."
Yue'er's mother sobbed and said, "You've been in a coma for a long time. ”
He looked at the two people who pounced on him tenderly, and said softly: "These days, I have wronged your mother and daughter." “
"As long as you're okay." When Yue'er Niang sobbed for a while, she wiped her tears and said, "Thanks to the help of Gongzi and the immortals, I saved you back." ”
"Childe? Immortals? Yue'er's father was stunned for a moment, only to find that there were still two people standing in the room, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Are you?!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled lightly: "Brother, remember that I don't." ”
"Who wouldn't remember! When I was in Guangfu, I received the favor of your son, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! Yue'er's father said movingly, "What virtue do I have, how can I let my son treat me like this!" After that, he was about to stand up and thank him, but let Yue'er's mother press it.
Hearing the sound of "poof", Yue'er's mother knelt on the ground, tears gushing up: "Thank you son, the immortal for saving my father-in-law, great kindness, I will be a poplar in this life, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will repay the two." ”
Yue'er also quickly knelt down and said in a dignified manner: "Thank you big brother, thank you immortals!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly helped the two of them up, showing a trace of compassion on his face, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's serious, it's serious!" Isn't it tormenting me, let's get up first. ”
"Just let them kneel, this is all as it should be," Yue'er's father said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be going to see Hades this time." ”
Hearing the word Hades, Yue'er's face suddenly showed fear, and she buried herself in her father's arms, pouting and saying, "Yue'er doesn't want her father to go down to the Hades Palace, the immortals say that there are all man-eating monsters, it's so scary." ”
Jiang Xiaobai stroked his head and smiled, in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, until he saw the dark spots fade, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time silently thanked Boss Li. Now, not only Yue'er's father, but also the more than ten porters in Dongcheng District can be regarded as saved. And the effect of the medicine also confirmed Boss Li's statement, this strange disease with black spots is not a disease but a poison! But who could be so ruthless and attack a group of ordinary people?
As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes sank, no matter who it was, he vowed to find it out!
Yue'er's father nodded Yue'er's head and chuckled, "What a stupid girl." Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was in a daze, he shouted, "Childe? ”
Jiang Xiaobai came back to his senses and said with a light smile: "It stands to reason that my brother has only improved a little, and he should meditate and cultivate, but there are some things I want to ask to understand, so I will disturb my brother for a while." ”
"Childe, please say, my body is not tight."
Jiang Xiaobai held his chin and said, "The journey from Lingnan to Wanzhong County, can you tell me." ”
Yue'er's father pondered for a moment and recalled: "After meeting Gongzi in Guangfu City that day, we left for a small town called Zhenyang the next day, and because the business was relatively good, we stayed there for a few more days. Then, it is out of Lingnan and goes all the way north to Wanzhong County. ”
"So what's wrong along the way?" Jiang Xiaobai continued to ask.
"Abnormal..."Yue'er's father thought for a while and said, "There was a time when I finished work late, so I asked Yue'er and her mother to go back to the inn to rest first, leaving me to clean up alone." Then I went to a small noodle restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles, and then I went back to the inn. The strange thing is that I was obviously exhausted that night, but I couldn't sleep at all, and I was very energetic. In the end, I secretly walked outside for a few laps before falling asleep. Yue'er and her mother didn't know about this. ”
Speaking of this, Yue'er's father paused and said abruptly: "By the way, it was the day I first arrived in Zhenyang." ”
Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Do you feel particularly motivated and excited?" ”
"Uh, yes!" Yue'er's father was stunned and nodded.
Jiang Xiaobai frowned slightly, and recalled in his mind what the eldest lady in Dongcheng District had said that day, and suddenly, he understood that Dayong, who had never made trouble with alcohol, had an abnormality before suffering from illness, it was not drunken madness at all, but hypermental activity, which was a symptom after poisoning!
Now it seems that Yue'er's father was poisoned when he first arrived in Zhenyang, but why are the dark spots on Dayong's body far more serious than Yue'er's father? From time to time, Yue'er's father was poisoned a few months before him.
Before he had time to think about it, Jiang Xiaobai asked again: "In that noodle restaurant in Zhenyang, have you met strange people?" ”
"Hmm... Not really. Yue'er's father shook his head, but Yue'er interjected: "We met a young lady!" ”
"Yes, yes, as soon as Yue'er said it, I also remembered." Yue'er's father suddenly said, "It's a girl, she looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she is very old when she speaks, she gave me a lot of silver, and looked at me with a very strange look. It's just that it wasn't in Zhenyang, but when I was about to arrive in Wanzhong County. ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and after a little groaning, he raised his hand and said, "Brother still needs to meditate and cultivate, so I won't stay longer, and I'll visit you another day." ”
"Childe!" Yue'er's mother hurriedly shouted, "That day in Guangfu City, I heard that Gongzi wanted a big cool horse..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai had already guessed a little bit of meaning, and interrupted: "Sister-in-law, don't do it, your family lives on horses." How can I be so careless that I will cause you to ignore it? ”
Yue'er's mother said anxiously: "It's a pony who was born not long ago, don't worry, son, you can accept it!" ”
"Big brother, you can take it." Yue'er tugged at Jiang Xiaobai's coat and said aggrievedly.
Jiang Xiaobai saw the expressions of the two and knew that if they didn't accept it, their hearts would be unhappy, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll accept it." ”
Yue'er's mother was overjoyed when she heard this, and Xin Yue said: "Childe, I'll take you to see the horse!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Don't worry, when the horse is older, let's talk about it." ”
