499 Xin Shi Niang
Lin'an is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by beautiful scenery, with green lakes and green mountains, green water, lush vegetation and flowers.
Once you enter the mountain, you can see gorgeous red maples and green pines everywhere.
The mountains and forests that Jiang Yi and the three of them were going to were rarely visited, and there were many high-quality herbs growing there.
However, as Ah Lu said, there are still many monsters and ghosts in this mountain forest.
In the world of Liaozhai, because the aura of heaven and earth is strong, and the mountains and forests are often shrouded in all kinds of strange gases and miasma, it is easy to give birth to mountain spirits, ghosts, and ghosts in the wild.
Not long after the three of them entered the forest, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of them, and the leaves trembled.
At the same time, a strange laugh came from all directions, like a ghost crying wolf.
"Boom!"
When Ah Lu saw this strange scene, he immediately trembled with fright.
The branches of the trees swayed, and the shadows under the shade of the trees were dark, and I don't know how many strange and eerie things were hidden.
A shrill and shrill laugh echoed through the woods:
"Hahahaha, it's been a long time since I've smelled fresh people, and I didn't expect anyone to dare to enter this forest. Since you have delivered it yourself, then obediently make my rations. ”
Call!
As soon as the words fell, a cloud of black gas rushed out from behind a big tree not far away and pounced on Jiang Yi and the others.
A hideous and terrifying grimace faintly appeared in the black air.
"Look for death!"
Xu Mu'e's eyes flashed, she reached out and grabbed the demon sword behind her back, and pulled the sword out of its sheath violently.
Huh!
The sound of Qing Yue's sword resounded throughout the four fields, and a dazzling golden light suddenly lit up, and the panicked sword power swept in all directions, slashing out like a thunderbolt.
"Ahh
A terrible scream sounded, and the black gas melted away in an instant like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
At the same time, the gloomy aura in the whole forest was swept away, and it became much clearer and gentler.
Ah Lu glanced at the surrounding woods, and found that the atmosphere was very different just now, and there was no such gloomy and dark feeling, so he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief:
"It feels much more comfortable in the woods now."
Xu Mu'e calmly withdrew the Demon Slaying Sword and said with a smile:
"There shouldn't be any demons and monsters who dare to appear now, let's continue to collect medicine."
For her, the mountain spirit that just appeared was just a small character, not worth mentioning at all.
"Okay."
Alu nodded.
Jiang Yi let go of his divine thoughts, swept through the woods like a heavenly eye, and soon found all kinds of herbs in the surrounding forests.
Under his guidance, Xu Mu'e and Ah Lu collected medicine very quickly, and it didn't take long for the back basket behind the two to be full.
After walking for a while, Jiang Yi Shennian probed that there was a very good Ganoderma lucidum not far from the Dao, so he raised his hand and pointed to the left side and said:
"There is a Ganoderma lucidum plant fifteen zhang away."
When Xu Mu'e heard this, she hurriedly ran over to pick, and walked back after a while, saying:
"The medicinal materials are almost ready, or let's go back first."
"Okay."
Jiang Yi said, his expression suddenly moved, and he looked at the grove in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Mu'e couldn't help but ask when she saw that his expression was different.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a white and chubby little dot, with hands and feet, about half a foot high, with a few pages of emerald green leaves on his head, deftly rushing from the grass in front of her.
Boom.
The little little dot flickered, and the speed was extremely fast, and it swept past them and disappeared into the forest on the other side.
After Xu Mu'e saw the little thing clearly, her eyes lit up, and she said happily:
"It's ginseng."
As he spoke, he was ready to get up and chase after him.
This ginseng can break through the soil and run around, indicating that it has spirituality, and the medicinal effect is far stronger than ordinary ginseng, if it can be used in medicine, the effect will undoubtedly be very good.
In the world of Liaozhai, after the ginseng is more than 100 years old, it will slowly absorb the aura of heaven and earth to give birth to spirituality, and it is easy to become a refinement.
If it is placed in the low-martial world, even if it is a thousand-year-old ginseng, it is only a little stronger in medicine, and it can increase people's strength for two years.
This is the difference in the context of the world, resulting in a huge difference.
Just when Xu Mu'e's figure was about to move, Jiang Yi stopped her and said:
"There's no need to chase it, this ginseng has already been taken by others."
Xu Mu'e couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this, and before she could speak, a sound of clothes breaking through the air came.
Wow!
Between the shaking of the leaves, a woman in white flew out of the forest not far away, white clothes were better than snow, clothes fluttering, silk ribbons flying, ethereal like a fairy.
She has a delicate countenance, a delicate temperament, a touch of leaves on her toes, and her body sweeps through the forest like a light breeze.
When she staggered with Jiang Yi and the others, her clear gaze swept the three of them.
His eyes intertwined, he smiled slightly, and then disappeared into the forest behind the three of them.
Ah Lu turned his head, looked in the direction where she disappeared, and exclaimed in a low voice:
"Wow, was that a fairy sister just now?"
Xu Mu'e's eyes flashed, her brows furrowed slightly, she looked at Jiang Yi and said:
"Master, this girl doesn't seem to be human."
Her tone was a little hesitant, not quite sure.
Because just now the woman had a fairy aura, fresh and pleasant, but there was some charming and bewitching aura mixed with this fairy aura, which was very weird.
This kind of aura reminded Xu Mu'e of Gongsun Erniang, but there were still some differences between the two, so she asked Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi nodded and said slowly:
"That's right, she's not human, she's a fox demon. However, she is practicing the righteous path of mental law, and she should have been accumulating good deeds and virtues on weekdays, so she has the power of merit in her body, and she does not have the slightest demonic energy on her body. ”
"It's not appropriate to call her a fox demon, you should call her a fox fairy."
As he spoke, his eyes flashed slightly, and he thought to himself: This should be Xin Shi Niang, I didn't expect to meet here.
After listening to Jiang Yi's words, Ah Lu was a little incredulous, the elegant fairy just now turned out to be a goblin.
Xu Mu'e nodded abruptly, and then said quite unexpectedly:
"I didn't expect there to be a fox fairy near Lin'an City."
During her travels down the mountain, she has also encountered a lot of monsters, but those monsters are basically evil beings who harm people, and they like to eat people and drink to improve their cultivation.
The reason why so many youkai like this person is not without reason. After all, cannibalism is much easier than hard practice, so few youkai can resist this temptation and refrain from eating people.
In Xu Mu'e's opinion, it is already a rare thing for monsters to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, or hide in the market and live their lives peacefully, without harming others. As for the youkai who specializes in doing good, she really hasn't met it yet
After a few words of emotion, the three of them returned to Alu's home.
Then Xu Mu'e began to sort and process the medicinal herbs, and then boiled the decoction.
After finishing their work, they carried a large bucket of decoction and medicine to the carriage, prepared a pile of porcelain bowls, and the three of them entered Lin'an City in the carriage together.
After entering the city, Xu Mu'e found an open spot on the street, took the bucket of soup medicine out of the carriage, and then set up a small table and porcelain bowl, which was considered to be ready.
Just when Xu Mu'e was about to beckon the patients on the street to come and drink the decoction, Ah Lu suddenly pointed across the street and said:
"You see, it's the sister I met before."
Xu Mu'e followed her finger and saw a small table on the opposite side of the street, with a wooden bucket on the left, and the top of the bucket was still steaming.
A woman in white was handing out a decoction there, it was Xin Shi Niang that the three of them had met before.
