Chapter 9: A Strange Village
Ying Chun led me to a small river and told me to turn away from looking. I looked back curiously, and Ying Chun seemed uncomfortable, as if he was about to vomit. I didn't dare to look at it anymore, I just meditated on him that he was fine.
"Whoa!"
"Ahem......." I finally couldn't help it, and when I turned around, I saw the old blonde man lying on the river, his body still soaked in the water, and then coughing incessantly.
"Help! Snake! The blonde old man was so frightened that he lost his soul when he saw Ying Chun, and he was far from the noble appearance he had just seen.
"Grandpa, don't be afraid, he rescued you!"
"Little girl, run away, it will eat people!" The old blonde man was so frightened that he lost his senses at all. Now I can't communicate with this old man at all, I have a headache all of a sudden.
'Shadow Chun gets smaller! ’
'Good! ’
I put the little Ying Chun in my hand, put it in front of him, and explained to him that Ying Chun deliberately pretended to eat him because he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of the group of officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers would not arrest him again. Actually, I guessed!
"Really won't eat me anymore?" The old blonde man was still a little frightened, but he was finally able to speak.
"You see it's so small, how can it eat you, the previous one was just an illusion."
The old blonde man suddenly looked me up and down, and I was sweating.
"Little girl, you? You can't be the little girl you were before, right? ”
"Grandpa, your eyesight is so good?"
"How can this be, you were so young before, are you really a monster?" The blonde old man was a little scared.
"No, no, I'm human, I'm like this because I'm poisoned!" I quickly shook my head.
Hearing that I was poisoned, the blonde old man hurriedly gave me a pulse. I noticed that the old blond man's face changed all of a sudden, and he even asked who I was? When he asked me this, I became alert, and I only told him that I was an orphan girl "Xuan'er".
The blonde old man thought about it for a while and told me that he was the "Wudaozi" of the Phoenix Wing Country Poison Immortal. "Fast old medicine" is the proud work he developed, and his medicine has never been used to harm people. And I actually had his unique poison on me, which is why he was so surprised just now.
Then he elaborated on my situation: in addition to the poison of the "fast old medicine", there is another poison in my body, but this poison is just enough to inhibit the toxicity of the "fast old medicine". But as soon as these two poisons lose their balance in me, my life will be in danger.
"It turns out that 'rejuvenation fruit' is not an antidote!"
"You say 'rejuvenation fruit'? Is that a poison at all? Could it be that the other poison in your body is the poison of the 'rejuvenation fruit'? ”
Wu Daozi was surprised, and I nodded helplessly.
"Shouldn't the poison of the rejuvenation fruit be like this?" Wu Daozi is talking to himself.
Wu Daozi couldn't cure the poison in my body, but he told me to find his junior brother, Lan Qiyu from Peach Blossom Spring. After knowing the opportunity between me and Lan Qiyu, he was speechless.
However, he suddenly became excited again.
Wu Daozi said that he actually had a missing master, and he was the medicine king - Mu Qingzi.
Two years ago, the Medicine King went to the Heavenly Mountains to look for the blood lotus, and then disappeared. It is said that the blood lotus can cure all kinds of poisons, and Tianshan Lake can purify all filthy miasma.
It once led countless groups of lotus-seeking teams, but there was no news, and no one dared to go again after that. Some people say that the blood lotus does not exist at all, it is simply a cannibal valley.
"Blood Lotus again!"
"The little girl has heard of the Blood Lotus before? .......cough cough cough ......" Wu Daozi suddenly coughed up blood.
"What's wrong with you?" I was in a hurry and stepped forward to help him, and the peace charm fell out at that time. "By the way, do you still recognize this peace charm? Where did it come from? ”
"He's ...... Blood Lotus ...... I...... I can't! Wu Daozi suddenly vomited a handful of blood when he saw this peace charm, and he gave me the medical book hidden on his body.
Wu Daozi has been comparing himself with his junior brother all his life, in order to prove that he is better, he has been researching new poisons, and his junior brother Lan Qiyu has been researching new detoxification methods, and finally he poisoned himself to death.
Wudaozi's life is also strange and sad, but it's a pity that I couldn't get the news of Nangong Longxiao from him.
"Yingchun, do you think I'll be poisoned one day!?" I looked at the peace charm and felt heavy in my heart.
"The princess is a nobleman, she will definitely get better!"
"Really?"
"He mentioned the blood lotus at the end, I think Nangong Longxiao should be related to the blood lotus."
"Could it be that Nangong Long Xiao also went to find the blood lotus?" I cheered up. 'Is Ye Zhongyang's disappearance also related to the Blood Lotus?' ’
I decided to go to Tianshan Lake in search of blood lotus.
"If you go to Tianshan Lake, take me with you!" The little white dragon suddenly reappeared in the tree.
"Princess, let's go!" Ying Chun seems to have a lot of hostility towards the little white dragon, but I think multiple helpers are okay, but I was forced on my back by Ying Chun.
"Xuan'er, I brought you some clothes!" The little white dragon catches up!
"Young-chun, wait! I want to change my clothes! "I still prefer normal clothes to leather clothes, and the clothes on the little white dragon's hands seem to be okay.
Although Ying Chun didn't want me to accept the kindness of other males, he didn't want me to be unclothed.
When I got the clothes, I realized that I hadn't showered in days. Isn't it a great gift that there happens to be a small river right now?
I was bathing in the river, and Ying Chun and the little white dragon were guarding on the shore. In the reflection of the river, I saw my face for the first time. Although he is only ten years old, he already looks very Peugeot. But why is it so dark? Rub hard, but you can't wipe it off at all. Am I so dark? But my hands are obviously very white.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that I was preoccupied, Ying Chun and Little White Dragon both tried to make me happy. But I couldn't be happy, and I was so disappointed at the thought that if I couldn't cure the poison, I would be so ugly for the rest of my life.
If you are with Yeling in the future, the night of candles in the cave room will become a nightmare night. What's more, that piece of black will always remind me that I am a person who will die of poison at any moment!
After a long walk,
"How long does it take to get to Tianshan Lake?" I had no intention of asking casually
Ying Chun and Little White Dragon both lived, so we didn't know where Tianshan Lake was?
It was getting dark, and we walked to the top of the hill and saw a small village in the distance. The smell of food wafted in the wind, and I drooled.
"Let's go to the village below to find something to eat, and by the way, find out the news of Tianshan Lake!" I haven't eaten properly these days, and the thought of having something to eat makes me unconsciously excited.
Ying Chun and Little White Dragon were secretly relieved to see that I was gaining momentum again. They looked at each other as if to say, "Great! But the next second they ignored each other again.
In order not to scare the villagers, Ying Chun became smaller and wrapped around my hair, and when the little white dragon saw this, it also wanted to make itself smaller, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have this ability. The little white dragon played left and right, and finally disguised himself as a belt and wrapped it around my waist.
"Is that okay? Am I so eye-catching? It feels so weird! "I felt like I had an extra lifebuoy around my waist.
When I arrived at the entrance of Changcheng Village, it was already dark, and I saw an eldest sister who was about to close the stall, I thought I had caught up, but I didn't expect that she didn't want to do my business anymore. And she clearly has a lot of buns there that haven't been sold out, why did she leave? Seeing that she hurriedly packed up and ran away, she ignored me at all. Looking at the buns, I followed.
Coincidentally, the entrance of the village, which was still lively just now, suddenly ran out of people, and became deserted, like an abandoned village.
The eldest sister closed the door when she got home, and I tried to knock on the door, but ignored me.
Soon after, it suddenly got dark and fast. An eerie sound could be heard in the distance.
"Big sister, open the door." I knocked her door in fear.
The door opened suddenly, a large hand pulled me away, and then the door closed immediately. It was dark in the room, and I saw a pair of big eyes and a pair of small eyes looking at me.
"Big sister, I want to buy your buns!" I feigned composure
"Stop screaming, hide!" The eldest sister seemed to be scared and pushed me and her children into the cupboard and hid them.
"Little brother, what's going on outside?" I asked in a whisper
"My name is Huzi, little sister, don't make a sound, the mountain ghost is coming to catch the child!" The child trembled and lowered his voice.
I peered through the small cracks in the cabinet to see that the outside was shrouded in a light purple mist, and then a group of translucent spirits floated by. This group of spirits is very similar to the last time they were seen on the edge of the cliff, but they seem to be very different. They seem to know what they want to do, and the last time they saw the spirit was simply attracted to something.
Listening to the sound go away, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Soon after, the eldest sister opened the cabinet, picked up the tiger and opened the door and left, as if she had completely forgotten my existence.
"Eldest sister, where are you going? Those spirits haven't gone far yet! I pulled the corner of my eldest sister's clothes, but I didn't expect her to throw me away mercilessly, and her cold eyes were like two people compared to just now.
'Stay away from her, princess, she seems to be controlled. ’
'What? How did she get controlled? ’
'I think it has something to do with those purple mist!' ’
We decided to sneak behind and see where the eldest sister went! Before I set off, I wrapped my mouth and nose tightly. Later, I found out that in addition to the eldest sister, there were several other families who also took their children and followed the spirits.
We followed the villagers far behind, and before we knew it, we had moved away from the village and came to a gloomy cemetery. The spirit disappeared into the cemetery with the purple mist, and not long after, a large tombstone actually moved, and the villagers who were holding their children disappeared in front of me one by one.
The crickets cried in the cemetery, and the eerily calm cemetery made people feel frightened. I didn't dare to rush forward, so I stood guard from afar. When I calmed down, my stomach screamed, and I remembered that I hadn't eaten yet.
Now I feel that my feet are weak, and I don't know if it's because I'm hungry or scared?
'I knew I would have taken a bun to cushion my stomach just now! ’
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, Baozi!" The little white dragon whispered and handed over a tempting bun.
"Buns!" I saw that the bun was really bright, and I took a bite of the bun, and then the bun was "eliminated" by me not long after. After eating, I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"Thank you this time!" I grabbed the little white dragon and kissed it, but I didn't expect the little white dragon to fall to the ground softly, and his body began to get hot.
"Bai Yunxiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Ha......" the little white dragon was giggling.
"Yingchun, is it poisoned?" I took Ying Chun in the palm of my hand. Ying Chun's appearance is also a little strange, and he feels a little sulky.
"I have a way to help it detoxify!" After Ying Chun finished speaking, he bit the horn of the little white dragon fiercely, and the little white dragon really became normal, but the two of them began to fight again.
'Why does this black and white always look at each other unpleasantly?!'
