Chapter 52: Pills

Her gestures caught my attention because I had seen similar gestures before.

When I went to visit Cheng Shi in Dagu Mountain, I was attacked by a fool, and Cheng Shi saved me, and he used a strange gesture at that time. In fact, it is not called a gesture, strictly speaking, it is called a handprint, which belongs to a special secret tradition of people in Taoism.

I chuckled in my heart, could it be that this delicate girl in front of me is a person in the Tao?

After Xiao Chang was kicked out, the house returned to calm, maybe the people in the house saw that Miss Xiao Cai looked very kind, not like a troublemaker, so they didn't chase her away.

The goddess continued to jump and jump, then put down her waist drum and lit a long incense stick, and the room suddenly became smoky. But don't say it, the lying child was originally unconscious, and suddenly woke up and muttered something.

The goddess stopped, climbed into bed, knelt beside the child, and listened with her ears tilted. No one noticed that Miss Cai's handprints were changing very quickly, and she was listening attentively.

I suddenly realized something, could it be that the child's awakening has nothing to do with the goddess, but this little Cai girl?

At this moment, a voice sounded in my head, it was Cheng Hai, and his voice was urgent: "Little golden boy, go quickly!" We're showing up. ”

I was so taken aback that I didn't have time to think about it and jumped off the platform. The backyard wall is very high, and it is a bit difficult to climb up. The back window suddenly opened, and I didn't have time to climb the wall, so I hurried behind the firewood stack. It was probably the family member who opened the window, and he glanced out and shouted into the house, "There is no one." Then he closed the window.

I was frightened, and asked Cheng Hai and Huang Xiaotian in my mind, but the two of them didn't respond.

I waited a moment, made sure no one was looking, came to the base of the wall, stepped on the uneven wall, and climbed up the wall with great difficulty. There was no one behind, so I didn't dare to jump down, so it took a lot of effort to climb down slowly. When I came down, I saw that my clothes were all dirty, and my hands were covered with dust.

I hurried out along the path and back to the farmhouse where I lived. Fortunately, I wore a padded jacket, and when it was dirty, I just rubbed it with a wet rag and didn't need to wash it. I cleaned up in my house for a long time, barely cleaned up, and was able to go out to meet people.

When he was cleaning up, Cheng Hai said in his heart: "Little golden boy, we risked showing up just now and obtained an important piece of information. ”

"What?" I asked.

Cheng Haidao: "Do you know how this child fell for evil? ”

I hurriedly asked.

"I briefly probed, he should have been poisoned." Cheng Hai said: "When the child woke up, he said, 'The abandoned house on the black hillside at the end of the village'. You hurry up and inquire, sooner or later, let's go over and check. ”

"Is this necessary?" I frowned, I didn't want to make a fuss. The dragon and crouching tiger are hidden here, and it looks calm, but in fact, there are waves below. At present, there are suspected masters, including men in buns and Xiao Cai girls, and their roads are completely unclear.

Cheng Hai said in a serious tone: "It is necessary. The poison in that kid is very evil, although I don't know what it is, but Sect Leader Huang and I both think that it is a bit similar to ancient pill poisoning in terms of symptoms. ”

"Pills?" I'm a little confused.

"When people in the Taoist practice practice, they must cultivate the tripod vessel outside and refine the pill inside. Now that the secret of the Dan Jue has become a masterpiece, few people know it. There are pills in this place, which means that there is an extremely ancient Taoist gate, which is likely to be related to the Eight Immortal Caves. This child inadvertently swallowed the pill and was infected with erysipelas, and the goddess also has a way to do it, she will be able to find out the root cause sooner or later, if they all go, it will be too late for us to start again. Tonight, it's now, let's find out. Cheng Haikou was in a hurry.

To be honest, I really didn't want to go, but I had no choice but to sneak out of the yard. Tonight there is a large bonfire party in the village yard, and tourists and villagers have gone there to play, which is convenient.

I trotted all the way through the night, and reached the end of the village in about twenty minutes. Here by the tributaries of Chagan Lake, there are blisters everywhere, the reeds bow their heads, the water is murmuring, and there are many wooden bridges built on it.

I don't know where the slope of the Black Mountain is, so I can only follow Cheng Hai's instructions. I took a flashlight and looked everywhere, and when I walked to a wooden bridge, there was a commotion far behind me, and when I looked back, I could see the fire rising in the village, black smoke rising, and there were people and bursts of music, and the bonfire party in the evening officially began.

I didn't have a single figure in this place, it seemed to be cut off from the world. I asked Cheng Hai in a low voice where he was going, and Cheng Hai told me that it was right to go all the way, and he could feel the Yin Spirit Qi there.

The further the road became, the more difficult it became, and at the end of the bridge, I turned on my flashlight to shine into the distance, and on the opposite blister, there was indeed an abandoned thatched house, and after many years, the roof had collapsed more than half. The poisoned bear child is quite capable of tossing, and he actually ran so far.

I climbed over the bridge and carefully stepped on the stones on the water to reach this thatched hut. The hut looked old, with large iron chains. The window was a big hole, and the window frame was pasted with old newspapers, and when I looked in with a flashlight, the walls were falling and the house was collapsing, and there was no furnishings or furniture.

There was a very uncomfortable feeling here, like something evil was hiding in the deep darkness.

I looked left and right, and in the dead of night, there was a commotion in the distance. I pushed open the broken window, climbed onto the windowsill, and jumped in.

There was really nothing to see in the front room, so I cautiously walked around the ruined wall to the back room. The door of the house is empty, and there is an old altar at the door, the lid on it has been broken, and it shines with a flashlight, and most of the water in the jar is left, slimy and dark green, I don't know what it is.

I pushed the door open and entered, there was very little space inside, and there was dry wood everywhere in the house. There was a broken table against the door, on which was a mess of things, covered with a thick layer of dust, and what caught my attention most was that there was a palm-sized three-legged incense burner on the table, with soot spread everywhere and cobwebs hanging from the stove.

Cheng Hai whispered, "Be careful, there's something in there." ”

I looked around, picked up a copper drill with a wick, carefully reached into the ashes of the incense burner, and played around, revealing half a plum. This plum is black and not slippery, obviously half bitten off, and it is covered with fragrant ash.

I was just about to take it with my hand, when Cheng Hai suddenly said: "Not good!" There are high-ranking people to arrive. I'll hide it first. He was silent for a moment.

There are so many tattered and cluttered houses in this house that there is really no place to hide. I crouched down and lifted the tablecloth from the table, revealing the space below, and I slipped inside.

As soon as I entered, I heard the door open. I curled up and cautiously looked out through the gap, and I was surprised that the person who came in was actually Miss Xiao Cai. My mind turned a thousand times, and it made sense that she was here, she must have gotten some clue and came to look for it.

Miss Cai walked to the table and stopped, I couldn't see what she was doing, I guess she also saw the half of the plum.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and I was suspicious, when she suddenly began to move, and she was actually moving the table. I was shocked, could it be that she saw me? It didn't seem like she needed this table for something.

The table was very heavy, and there were so many things on it that she couldn't move it and began to drag it, and the table was full of dust, and it fell so hard that I could not stand it, and coughed.

"Who?" She exclaimed.

I came out from under the table, my eyes glazed over, and I raised my hands high: "It's me, it's me." ”

"Hey, why are you?" Xiao Cai looked at me, she took a step back and said vigilantly, "Why are you here?" ”

I threw dust on my head, thinking that my clothes had been washed in vain, and I coughed and said, "I'll get here how you came." ”

Xiao Cai looked at me, this girl's eyes were very sharp, she pulled her hair back and tied a ponytail with a head rope: "Which lock are you?" ”

As soon as I heard how to speak black, I thought about it and said, "I'm from Zhaojiamiao, Liaoning." ”

Xiao Cai looked at me, "Zhao Family Temple? Then we're not far away. Zhaojiamiao has three debut masters, who are you with? ”

"Mother-in-law Stormeye, do you know each other?" I say.

Xiao Cai nodded: "I know there is such a number." Okay, let's talk about what you're doing here. ”

I came to my senses and giggled: "I didn't expect you to be such a beautiful girl, and you are also a real person." ”

"Don't be poor, why do you say you came." Xiao Cai was impatient.

I thought I had to come up with something dry, or I would make her look down on him, so I said, "That kid has erysipelas, he should be here, I'll come and see if I can help him." ”

"His erysipelas is easy to handle," Xiao Cai said, "In fact, sending him to the hospital for gastric lavage as soon as possible is the best treatment." The pill can't be absorbed by the child, and it is old, and there are a lot of germs on it. But the locals would rather believe in the goddess than the hospital, and there is no way, and when they have tossed enough, they will go to the hospital for treatment. I wondered at the time, how could there be an elixir in such an inconspicuous countryside, so I came over and took a look. ”

I don't know if what she said is true or not, she doesn't seem to know anything about the Eight Immortals Cave, and she came here unintentionally.

"You're here to play?" I asked.

"Hmm." Xiao Cai said: "I had annual leave, I came to play with my sisters, and I attended the wedding by the way, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Hey, what's your name. ”

"My name is Feng Ziwang. What about you? I said.

Xiao Cai said: "You call me Cai Xiaocai, my friends call me that." ”

I asked her what she was doing with the table. Cai Xiaocai looked at me: "The surname is Feng, you don't know, you can't see this." The real trick in this room is on the beams. ”
