This made Dajun a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and felt good about himself, so he could hold it.

Then everyone came over. "Mr. Daejun, they rarely see foreigners, and since ancient times, they have a natural fear of men of different races, so they are not good at communicating with you. Please don't mind!"

......

How could Qi Luo and so many people come to Lan Mei'er's rescue? Her village was still some distance away, in the mountains opposite. People rarely go out in the harsh winter season, but they will send people to watch from high places and watch out for movements around them. When the monks of the Beast Mountain were chasing Lan Mei'er, they were discovered by the watchers from afar, so they gathered the elites of the clan and rushed over.

When Qi Luo heard that Baoyu was now a miscellaneous disciple on the Wufu Hill, this simple woman of the Serpentine Clan did not feel anything wrong, but felt very happy. Because Wufuqiu has a deep relationship with the Serpentine Clan since ancient times, in this way, their relationship seems to be invisibly close again.

Miss Qi Luo introduced Baoyu and the others to her companions, and the snake girls obviously knew what happened to Qi Luo outside the mountain, and when they heard that the young man in front of them was the little road that came forward to help Qi Luo, use the magic method to heal her injuries and help her cultivate, they all cast curious glances and saluted Baoyu together.

This made Baoyu quite embarrassed, and waved her hand again and again so that everyone didn't have to be so polite. Lan Mei'er came to Baoyu, knelt down on the snow with a puff, and said in a mournful voice: "It turns out that you are Mr. Xiaolu, listen to Sister Qi Luo, your secret healing method is miraculous and rare in the world! Can I ask you for one thing, please save my man Xia Zhuo!"

This snake girl actually has a man, his name is Xia Zhuo, and now he doesn't know what is going on, and he wants to ask Baoyu to help. Before Baoyu could speak, Dajun suddenly stepped forward and said in surprise: "What did you say? Xia Zhuo! How did you know him, did he ever go to Wufu Hill?"

Lan Mei'er knelt there and bowed her head and replied: "Yes, my man was also a miscellaneous disciple on the Wufu Hill, for the sake of the friendship of the same family, please save him!"

Hanxiong whispered behind Dajun, "Who is Xia Zhuo?"

Dajun replied, "He went up the mountain two years before me, and he was born in an Orion family outside the Red Brocade City, and he lived in the same house as us. He has been a miscellaneous disciple on Wufu Hill for three years, and he has also cultivated his strength to open the mountain, but he has not cultivated Wuding Gong for a long time. A month before Xiaojun went up the mountain, he went down the mountain and went back, and none of you have seen him. If we talk about the order of going up the mountain, we all have to call him a senior brother. ”

As he spoke, Dajun stepped forward to help Lan Mei'er, and after questioning, everyone learned the whole story.

......

When Baoyu climbed the mountain on the winter solstice, he found that in addition to the monks of various sects who came to join in the fun, most of those who really climbed Wufuqiu and wanted to become miscellaneous disciples had already practiced the opening of the mountain or martial arts, but there were also people who had never practiced any kung fu, that is, they relied on their physical strength and tenacity.

After such a person comes to Wufu Hill, it is quite difficult to cultivate the strength of the mountain until he cultivates the martial arts, and finally he can pull out the divine sword and cut through the long steps after the clouds and mist. It's not impossible, but it's unlikely. In fact, there are miscellaneous disciples leaving on Wufu Hill every year, and the number of people who have successfully climbed the mountain is about the same. There are only a handful of people like Uncle Agen who have been able to stay on the Takefu Hill and plan to die in the mountains.

Xia Zhuo also worked very hard after going up the mountain, and it took him three years in the mountain to finally refine the spirit of opening the mountain, but the hope of practicing martial arts is really slim. Although he was a little disappointed, but there was nothing to be disappointed about, after three years in the mountain he had practiced to open the mountain, and learned a lot of skills, and was good at creating various utensils, so he went down the mountain.

After Xia Zhuo descended the mountain, he became the best hunter and craftsman in his village, and the village he lived in was at the southern end of the territory of Hongjin City, which was very close to the southern wilderness outside Wufu Hill.

Perhaps it was because of the courage of the artist, or it may have been because he was curious about the legends of the Southern Wilderness after hearing a lot of legends about the Southern Wilderness on Wufu Hill, Xia Zhuo would occasionally carry a sharp blade and bow and arrow into the Southern Wilderness to hunt. At the turn of spring and summer a year ago, he rescued an unconscious woman in the mountains, who was Lan Mei'er.

Lan Meier was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake when she went out to collect red brocade stamens. Are snake women also bitten by snakes? They are human beings, not snakes, let alone snake demons, and as for the ancestors, they can't tell what kind of demon king they are. Even if Lan Mei'er's physique was different from that of ordinary people, the toxic attack would not be fatal immediately, but she fell to the ground unconscious and rolled down the hill and fell and was injured. If no one had passed by, she would have died.

Xia Zhuo had studied art in Wufuqiu and knew some ways to treat poisonous injuries, so he stayed in the mountains to take care of her for more than half a month until she fully recovered. He is a man in the prime of life, and he spends his days with a charming snake girl, and some things happen naturally, and the process does not need to be described.

Later, Xia Zhuo sent Lan Mei'er back to the snake girl's village, and both of them felt very reluctant. The habit of snake women is to live in villages inhabited by clansmen, and when they meet men, they come out alone. She told Xia Zhuo that he could come to her when he wanted her, as long as he marked the agreed place outside the village. She asked Xia Zhuo again, where should she look for him when she misses him?

The two talked for a long time, but they were reluctant to break up, and then Xia Zhuo stomped his feet and said: "Why bother so much? I don't have to live near here, anyway, I will be single when I return to the village!"

Xia Zhuo built a house and courtyard at the foot of the mountain not far from the snake girl's village, and lived here most of the time on weekdays, only occasionally returning to the village of Hongjin City. Lan Mei'er originally came here to meet him occasionally, but then she simply lived here for a long time, and occasionally returned to the village of the Serpentine Clan. The two of them are equivalent to living a small life as husband and wife in the mountains, and it feels very wonderful.

But after this autumn, Xia Zhuo suddenly got a strange disease, at the beginning he was only occasionally confused, but the onset of the disease was very fast, the symptoms became more and more serious, and even the body became abnormal, and strange color spots appeared on the surface of the skin, and he was often confused, his whole body was itching and unbearable, and he even fell into a coma and convulsions.

The courtyard house that Fubao and the other beast mountain monks saw in the mountain was where Xia Zhuo and Lan Mei'er lived. Lan Mei'er went out in the early morning to collect medicine for Xia Zhuo, but she didn't worry about leaving home for too long, and on the way back, she happened to bump into Fubao and others.

Lan Mei'er usually collects various herbs for Xia Zhuo to recuperate, and the means of medicine are passed down from generation to generation of the Serpentine Clan, and its effects are analgesic, anti-itching, antipyretic, and soothing the nerves, which can only alleviate Xia Zhuo's pain, but cannot cure his symptoms.

Lan Mei'er heard Qi Luo say not long ago that Mr. Xiaolu healed her injuries and refined elixirs to help her cultivate, and her magical powers were beyond imagination. Today, when I saw this Mr. Xiaolu himself, and heard that he had also become a miscellaneous disciple of Wufuqiu, hope burned in my heart, and I begged Baoyu to save Xia Zhuo's life.

After Baoyu heard the details, she frowned and asked, "You said so much, what kind of disease does Senior Brother Xia Zhuo have?"

Lan Mei'er lowered her head and sobbed: "I didn't know, but later Sister Qi Luo said some rumors outside the mountain, and the symptoms should be ...... Snake essence disease. Once his illness appeared, the onset deteriorated rapidly, and he was almost inseparable from someone to take care of him...... What the hell am I going to do, is he saved?"

When everyone heard this, their hearts immediately cooled, because Ba Yuan knew that there was almost no way to completely cure the snake spirit disease. However, this disease is usually not fatal, and only occasionally attacks can affect a person's sanity, and when the condition is stable and does not deteriorate or the symptoms are mild, the impact on ordinary life is not even obvious.

But listening to Lan Mei'er's introduction, Xia Zhuo's illness has obviously flare-up and worsened, not only his sanity, but also his body has been damaged, to this extent, people are basically hopeless. Baoyu held his voice with his divine sense, and quietly asked Hanxiong: "Mr. Changling is a miracle doctor in Bamuro Country, and he is very good at medicine. Did your father tell you that snake spirit disease is incurable?"

Han Xiong also quietly replied: "My father once mentioned that if the symptoms of snake spirit disease have worsened, it is not absolutely incurable as the rumors in the world, as far as he knows, there are two ways. But these two methods can only treat his physical injuries and make it difficult to cure his confusion. And neither will my father. ”

Baoyu: "What two methods don't even know Mr. Changling?"

Han Xiong replied again: "The first method is medicine, it doesn't matter whether it will or not, but it is necessary to use the Elizhu Divine Medicine, how can ordinary people get it? ”

It is said that there are only three trees on the Ba Yuan, which grow at the peak of the main peak of Meng Yingqiu, and before the Dharma seat of the daily cultivation, ordinary people want to ask for the magic medicine of the Lizhu to cure diseases and save their lives, which is simply something they don't even think about. And the corpse decides. Baoyu had heard the mountain god mention that it was a secret method passed down by Emperor Xuanyuan, but he had not heard of anyone in Bayuan who had this inheritance.

Baoyu remembered another thing. Hou Qi once told him that Meng Yingqiu had released a word to thank the little gentleman who killed Gong Gonggong Lang in Xiangmuro Kingdom, and asked him to climb Meng Yingqiu and take an immortal elixir in front of fate.

In this way, Baoyu has a chance to get the Elijab elixir. But Baoyu himself was not willing to do that, at least not now. First, he may expose his identity and whereabouts to many people, and second, who knows if it is a trap? The most important thing is that Baoyu is not greedy for the magic medicine of the pearl.

And when it comes to today's events, even if he wants to, it's too late. Because according to Lan Mei'er's description. Xia Zhuo's condition is already very critical, and to rush to Meng Yingqiu from here, he needs to cross the entire Zheng Muguo from south to north, and I am afraid that there is not enough time.

Of course, Hanxiong didn't know about the matter between Baoyu and Meng Yingqiu. When he explained to Baoyu, his tone was full of regret. Baoyu, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, his thoughts were different from those of Hanxiong. It turns out that there is a cure and a cure for this snake essence disease, and it is not to despair.

Baoyu and Hanxiong communicate with each other in a voice that others can't hear. Over there, Dajun comforted Lan Mei'er again: "Don't worry, let's go and see Senior Brother Xia Zhuo's situation first, and then figure out how to treat it." ”

On the other hand, none of them had ever seen a patient with a deteriorating condition, and the so-called incurable was just hearsay, and the way Koji was so skilled in retreating injuries that he might be able to think of other ways.

Everyone was about to go to Xia Zhuo and Lan Mei'er's house, and Qi Luo said to the snake girls: "You go back to the village first, if there is anything, I will inform everyone again." ”

There are hundreds of people here, and they can't all flock to Xia Zhuo's house. Besides, snake girls don't like to approach men of different races, this is a habit they have cultivated over the generations, Xia Zhuo is just Lan Mei'er's man, and the other snake girls have never been to where they live.

Before leaving, everyone cleaned up the battlefield. Of course, the magic weapons of the six Beast Mountain monks, as well as the various elixirs, utensils, and specialties they took or bought, could not be wasted, and they were brought back to the village by the snake girls. As for their bodies, they were left in the snow. There are often hungry beasts foraging in the mountains, and it is estimated that in a few days, they will not even have any bones left.

Dajun took the initiative to help the snake girls clean up the battlefield and collect things, and took the opportunity to get closer, but suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, the heads are gone!

Everyone was also taken aback, and after a careful search, the heads of the six people were indeed missing. Three of the heads were cut off by the old man's strange methods, the other two were beheaded by Han Xiong with a sword each, and the last monk of the Beast Mountain was killed by the bow and arrow of the snake girl, but at this moment all six heads were missing.

When the snake girl arrived, the old man disappeared strangely, and no one noticed how he left, and now it seems that he also took the heads of these six people, which made everyone both shocked and puzzled. Why did he take all his head off after killing, was there some special fetish? This is too scary!

Fortunately, the old man had no ill will towards Baoyu and the others, and fortunately, he killed the murderer. Otherwise, Baoyu and the others may not be the opponents of those Beast Mountain monks, and they will not be able to avoid a fight for their lives today, and there will likely be casualties.

The old man was cutting the cold fire wood before, this kind of special branches are very rare, the cold fire wood in this thousand-year-old cold fire pine forest has been cut down by the old man, there are only six branches in total, and they are still inserted in the snow at the moment, he only took away the human head but left these things.

The main branches of these six cold fire trees are about one zhang long, the thickness of the wrist, and there are many horizontal twigs on them, ranging from one foot to three feet long and one to two fingers wide. These are all good things, and they can't just be wasted here.

Baoyu took Hanxiong's sword, and with great luck, he cut off all the branches on the cold fire wood, and tied six smooth long sticks into a bunch, and even those small branches were tied into several bundles for everyone to carry. Of course, they also asked Qi Luo if they knew the old man who was chopping wood, and why he would help?

But Qi Luo was also confused, she didn't even notice the old man when she came from a distance, and she didn't even see it clearly. Everyone was puzzled by the identity of the old man, but he must be a master of cultivation beyond imagination, and he was probably a powerful demon king in the wilderness, and what he used was a talent and magic magic that everyone had never seen.

Xiao Tian saw that the spirit beast black panther was lying in the snow pit, his head was still there, and there were no scars on his body, even the black and shiny leopard skin should be intact. The corpses of the monks of the Beast Mountain were thrown here, but such a prey could not be wasted, and it dragged it down the hill with a leopard's claw in its mouth, and it could not see that this small dog had so much strength. Seeing this, Han Xiong also carried the spirit leopard on his shoulder, and everyone followed Lan Mei'er.

......

Xia Zhuo had climbed Wufu Hill as a miscellaneous disciple for three years, and had cultivated the spirit of the mountain, not only strong, but also an excellent hunter and craftsman. Although the courtyard he built in the valley was a little rough, it was very strong and spacious, and the courtyard wall was very high, and the walls were set with many sharpened sharp stones, which could prevent all kinds of fierce beasts in the mountains.

The gate is made of tough thick wood, and there are many sharpened hardwood sticking out of the front, even if a fierce wild boar hits it, it will not end well, and it is obvious that it took a lot of thought and effort to build this courtyard. Everyone opened the door and entered, the various utensils in the yard were quite messy, it seemed that Xia Zhuo's illness had been on for a while, and Lan Mei'er was busy taking care of him every day, and she didn't have much effort to clean up.

On the left side of the front yard is a barn stacked with all kinds of miscellaneous items, while on the right side there is a pigsty with a roof. There were two pigs in the pigsty, and they snorted vigorously at the sound of human voices, and they were obviously hungry.

Xiaojun asked in surprise, "Do you still have pigs at home?"

Lan Mei'er replied: "Yes, there are many products here in summer and autumn, and if you can't eat food, you can not only dry and store it, but also raise pigs. At this time, you can kill it for the winter. But Xia Zhuo is sick for a while, and he hasn't had time to kill the pig. ”

The reason why Xiao Jun asked was because he finally remembered the task of going down the mountain this time, and the second elder asked them to catch twelve live fat pigs and go back. But they didn't have the idea of beating these two pigs, so they left it to Xia Zhuo and Lan Mei'er for the winter, and they were obviously not fat enough.

Dajun couldn't help but ask again, "Miss Qi Luo, do you also raise pigs in your village?"

Qi Luo replied: "Yes, but not much, I only started raising it a few years ago." ”

Han Xiong put down the spirit leopard and asked, "Are there any big fat pigs?"

Ziro did not understand why these people suddenly became interested in pigs, and replied, "There are a dozen of them." ...... Let's go in and see Xia Zhuo. ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and the completion of the task assigned by the second elder was finally completed, but now is not the time to be happy, let's see if we can cure Xia Zhuo's illness first.

Walking into the hall, there is a fire along the wall on the right side. The first wall is made of stone, very thick, with a mezzanine in between. When a fire is lit in a stone stove, the entire wall can be baked slightly hot to warm up in the harsh winter. Lan Mei'er went out for a long time today, and the fire in the stove was about to go out, so she hurried to the warehouse to get firewood.
