The owner looked at the direction of the cliff, smiled and said: "The medicinal materials you are looking for are under this cliff, if you want medicinal materials, you must have a person to go down to collect medicines, it is because the place where this medicinal materials grow is too dangerous, so there is no one in the village, and because this medicinal materials are rare, there are generally guardian beasts next to it, which is very dangerous."

Dong Qing heard that this medicinal herb grew under the cliff, so he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down and said, "Owner, there is no medicinal herb on this cliff, where does it grow?" How do we pick it? Is there any place to go down from here? ”

The owner of the village said with a serious expression: "The difficulty is here, there is no secret passage in this cliff, if you want to collect medicinal herbs, you can only go down from here, otherwise you can only watch, there is no way."

Hearing this, Dong Qing, Xiao Cui and Xiao Yan were a little anxious, Xiao Yan looked at the direction of the cliff and said, "I'm familiar with the method of taking this herb, I'll pick it, you guys are waiting for me on it, be careful."

Xiao Yan was about to go down the cliff as he spoke, but was stopped by Dong Qing: "Doctor Xiao, let me go down, your injury happened to be not long, and the owner just said that there are guardian beasts or something underground, let me go, I am better at light work, and if there is any danger, I can escape."

Xiao Yan hesitated, Dong Qing had already jumped down directly, and after Xiao Cui saw Dong Qing go down, he shouted from behind: "Be careful!"

Seeing Xiao Cui's worries, the owner said: "Miss Xiao Cui, don't worry, there are a lot of protruding stones under this cliff, and Dong Qing's light skills are very good, nothing will happen." We'll just wait here for him, and trust in his abilities. ”

Besides, after Dong Qing jumped down, he went down the stone he stepped on, and finally saw the crumbling herb in the crack of the stone, Dong Qing was excited to go over, and suddenly thought of what the owner said, there is a guardian beast around this herb, Dong Qing quietly leaned over, ready to take advantage of the fact that the thing was not found and someone was holding the herb quickly.

However, as soon as Dong Qing approached the herb, a big snake with a black pattern on his body with the thickness of an adult man's arm and a length of more than three meters swam over, and the big snake "hissed" and vomited blood, staring at Dong Qing with fierce eyes, bowing his body, and making an attack posture.

Dong Qing didn't hesitate, and went up directly at the big snake, he didn't believe that he couldn't clean up a beast?

Finally, Dong Qing cleaned up the big snake, looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him, and carefully picked them, when Dong Qing climbed the cliff, he saw Xiao Cui staring closely at the direction of the cliff, as soon as he came up, Xiao Cui saw him.

"Ahh Dong Qing, you're back, how are you? You're not hurt, are you? Have you picked the herbs? Xiao Cui hurriedly ran up and asked.

Dong Qing took out an herb from his arms and said, "Yao! Of course, I picked it, and the guardian beast of this medicine turned out to be a python, which I solved it, whew! I'm tired to death, can you show it to the divine doctor to see if I have what we need? ”

"Hmmm! Dong Qingcai is the herb we want, thank you for your hard work. Xiao Yan came over and said?

At this moment, a few black-clothed people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wanted to grab the herbs, Dong Qing rushed forward as soon as possible, and took the time to say: "Xiaocui, protect the herbs, don't be robbed by this group of people."

And at this time, a few people in black appeared, I don't know which one is my own person, just in Xiao Cui's panic, the herbs in Xiao Cui's hand flew out, Xiao Cui "Ah! With a bang, he pounced and tried to snatch back the herbs, but was seriously injured by the man in black.

Dong Qing had already come over when he saw the herbs flying out of Xiao Cui's hands, and wanted to snatch the herbs back, but in order to protect Xiao Cui, he was also stabbed by the man in black.

Originally, when the two of them thought that the herbs would be snatched away by the man in black, they saw that Xiao Yan didn't know when he got the herbs, they saw it, and the man in black naturally saw it, and the leader said: "Surround him and snatch the herbs back, even if you can't grab them, you will destroy them."

The people in black all went in the direction of Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan looked at the man in black, smiled a little evilly, and then under the gaze of everyone, he stuffed the herbs directly into his mouth and swallowed them directly, yes, he swallowed them directly......

Everybody was like, "How can this be?" The expressions looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment, and the few people in black were also shocked after watching Xiao Yan swallow the herbs, but seeing Xiao Yan swallowing the herbs, this could be regarded as destroying the herbs. Then their task is complete.

"Withdraw!" The leader of the men in black looked at Xiao Yan, and after making sure that he was not cheating, he said to the other men in black.

After seeing all the people in black evacuate, Dong Qing hurriedly picked up Xiao Cui and walked to Xiao Yan's side and asked, "Divine Doctor, what are we going to do now?" There is no second herb here, and without this herb, what will happen to the princess's poison? ”

The Ninth Elder also came over and reprimanded Xiao Yan very disapprovingly: "How can you be so impulsive, this only herb has been swallowed by you, we have worked hard for so long, and we have not gained anything, and the most important thing is what are you going to do with Princess Qi's poison?" How do you explain to Prince Qi when you go back? ”

Xiao Yan said calmly: "You don't have to worry, I swallowed the herbs, the medicinal properties of the herbs are fused with my blood, my blood contains the medicinal properties of this medicine, and my blood can be used as a medicine guide until the princess's poison is lifted and her health is restored."

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Xiao Cui and the others were very shocked, on the one hand, they were shocked that Xiao Yan was thoughtful, and on the other hand, they were shocked that Xiao Yan would make such a sacrifice for Princess Qi, which is really admirable, and at the same time, a little puzzled?

But the Nine Elders didn't think so, seeing that Xiao Yan didn't take his body seriously, the Nine Elders blew their noses angrily and glared, looked at Xiao Yan and said angrily: "Hmph! You're really, really incorrigible, and you don't know how much damage you're doing to your body? ”

Xiao Yan said disapprerovingly: "It's nothing, it's just a little medicine, I can't lose anything, my body has always been very good, so it's nothing."

"You...... Hum! Jiu Lao looked at Xiao Yan with a calm and breezy look, he was simply angry, and was directly taken away by Xiao Yan, thinking angrily as he walked, he felt that he was a dog with a mouse and meddling in things.

Seeing that the Nine Elders were not lightly angry, Xiao Cui said with some worry: "Nine Elders will not be fine, right?" I see that he is really angry, do you want me to comfort him? ”

"It's okay, don't worry, the ninth elder is not such a stingy person, just let him stay alone for a while, we have to resign to the owner of the village now, and then hurry back, let Doctor Xiao detoxify the princess, this is the top priority." Dong Qing grabbed Xiaocui and said.

Several people came to the owner, Xiao Yan said to the owner: "Thank you for taking care of the owner during this time, now that our affairs have been done, we are about to leave, and the people in the family should have been waiting in a hurry." Xiao Yan was very sincere in gratitude.

"Since you are in a hurry to leave, the owner of this village will not leave you, I hope you have a smooth journey and see you in the future." The owner looked at Xiao Yan and the three of them and said.

After a few people said goodbye to the owner, they left Taihang Mountain non-stop, preparing to rush back to the palace day and night, and the black-clothed people who secretly followed them also left.

A few people came to a small town at the foot of Taihang Mountain to buy a few horses here, so that they could change horses on the road, just when they were going to buy horses, there were many people around the street they were going to, and several people did not plan to go up to join in the fun, but this street was their only way.

When I walked up to the crowd, I heard the people around me talking and saying, "Alas! This father and daughter are really pitiful, who is not good, how can they get into trouble with the bullies on the street, no one can save them now, it can only depend on their luck. ”

When Xiao Cui heard this, she pulled Dong Qing and Xiao Yan to the middle of the crowd, and saw that an old man was lying on the ground, a girl was kneeling on the ground, and next to them were the bullies on the street who didn't listen to the shouts.

When Xiao Yan saw it, he peeled through the crowd and walked up to the bully and his men and shouted, "Stop!" In the blue sky and daylight, in front of the public, you are so lawless. Do you still have a royal law in your eyes? You've gone too far. ”

"Where did you come from, you dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs, don't you want to mess around? Tell you, Lao Tzu is the king of this street, if you don't want to be beaten to death by me, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, don't disturb Lao Tzu's interest here. The bully said arrogantly, at first glance, he was used to being powerful.

But who is Xiao Yan? He will definitely do what he wants to do, not to mention that he is just a bully on the street, so even if the people around him have advised him not to meddle in his affairs, otherwise he will definitely get into trouble, but he still manages it.

Ignoring the clamoring of the bullies, Xiao Yan said to Dong Qing and Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, Dong Qing, how are you doing with this old man?"

Xiaocui asked Dong Qing to help the old man up and put him on the steps on the side, and she helped the woman up and said, "Girl." Are you alright? Come and sit down first, don't worry, since we have made a move today, we will definitely not let you have an accident. ”

At this time, Dong Qing called Xiao Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, come and take a look, this old man seems to have passed away."

After hearing this, Xiao Cui hurriedly went over to take a look, Dong Qing looked at Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui shook her head, saying that she was tired of returning to the sky, and the woman who heard the news looked like the sky was falling, lying on the old man and crying, it was really sad for the hearer to cry, and the people around him were also scolding and scolding the bully.

At this time, the bully shouted, "What? The father and daughter owe Lao Tzu money, "Debt repayment, rightful" Since you saved them, then pay them back, otherwise you will be here today, don't think you can get out from here. ”

Xiao Cui looked at the dead and alive woman who was crying with the old man on the ground, looked at the bully's eyes were extremely cruel, and slowly stood up and said, "Pay back the money?" Just because of a few taels of silver, you beat people to death? Such a scum who cares about human life, my aunt and grandmother will not beat you to death today. ”

As he spoke, he went up and beat him up, where would these little gangsters be Xiao Cui's opponents, and after a while, a few gangsters were beaten and urinated, crying dad and calling mother, and hurriedly fled in a hurry while there was a gap.

After Xiao Yan and the others saw that the bully had fled, they walked up to the woman, handed her some silver and said, "You take this silver, find a place to bury your father, then leave here quickly, find a place that no one knows, and live a good life."

The woman looked at the silver in Xiaocui's hand, and cried gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." My name is Erya, the benefactor will take me away, Erya has no relatives, please be merciful, leave Erya, Erya will definitely repay the benefactor. ”

Xiao Cui looked at Erya who kept kowtowing, looked at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan nodded, Xiao Cui stretched out her hand to help Erya up and said, "Okay, we are good people to the end, send Buddha to the west, you will follow us in the future."
