Chapter 43: Yin and Yang - Waterhole

Only half the size of a palm, the purple-black purple gold toad was lying in the small box, and the flashlight light shone through, and it was only a flickering eyeball.

I don't know what the Budai monk is doing with it, so I stood aside and stared.

The cloth bag monk reached out and held the purple gold toad in the palm of his hand, and carefully placed it on the old clam's chest.

This purple gold toad is extremely poisonous, but it can be regarded as the top species in the world's poisons, is it possible to fight poison with poison?

Several of us held our breath and stared at the purple toad motionlessly.

The little thing sniffed on the old clam's chest, and suddenly became excited, jumping up and down on the old clam's body, and soon jumped on the old clam's face, and then actually pried open the old clam's mouth, and got into it in the blink of an eye!

This frightened us, and we stared blankly at the old clam's body, not knowing what the purple golden toad was doing in it.

After a few minutes, the old clam's breathing became even more rapid, and I frowned as I watched his chest rise and fall violently, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

About ten minutes later, the old clam's mouth opened, and the purple gold toad jumped out of it, landed on the old clam's chest, and then jumped onto the old clam's neck, and bit down with one mouth!

"Hey?!" I was startled, and instinctively shouted, startling Liang Ruoyi beside me.

Soon, I found out that the purple toad was sucking the blood of the old clam, and I could see its mouth open and closed, as if it was eating very deliciously. A few minutes later, the purple gold toad jumped back into the palm of the cloth bag monk, and the old monk held the little thing and looked at it, and put it back in the small wooden box.

"Master, this?" The seventh master looked at the cloth bag monk expectantly.

"It should work. Just wait. The cloth bag monk said, walked to the side and sat down, took out a piece of bread and ate it.

I glanced at the time, it was already half past six in the evening, and it seemed that this was the end of today's operation, and the next thing was to wait for the old clam. I took out the last bit of food from my bag and gave it to them, now only Liang Ruoyi's bag still has some food, the toad is still missing, and he is also injured and he doesn't know if he can carry it.

Everyone was speechless, silently eating bread and observing the old clam's injury.

After about ten minutes, the purple black color on the old clam began to slowly fade, and the puffiness on his face began to disappear!

This situation made us overjoyed, it seems that it was the Zijin Toad that sucked out the venom and poisonous blood in the old clam's body, and this kind of improvement occurred. After about half an hour, the old clam basically returned to normal, and his breathing was slowly steady, but he had not woken up yet.

"Because the poisoning is too deep and the time is relatively long, I can't treat the organs in his body that have begun to fail." Monk Budai looked at the old clam that was slowly improving, and his frowning brows were completely relaxed: "Then wait until you get out, and send it to the hospital for treatment." Now, the liquid venom and poisonous blood in his body have basically been exhausted, and the remaining residual poison is slowly excreted. ”

"Master!" I asked, "And when will he wake up?!" ”

"I don't know." The old monk's eyes that had been squinting slightly glanced at me: "It's also possible that I will never wake up." ”

Yes, this old monk didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong today, and he spoke so chokingly.

I waited until ten o'clock in the evening, but the old clam still did not wake up. It may be because of organ failure, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for the old clams.

We took stock of what we had left and decided that we had to go out tomorrow and get out of here.

After some discussion, everyone leaned against the bluestone wall and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, I was woken up by a sound of chatter, thinking that something evil was coming, and I hurriedly opened my eyes, and saw that everyone except the Budai monk was gathered around the old clam. I also hurried over, and saw the old clam moaning a few times, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Old clam?!" My heart suddenly became happy, and I opened my mouth to exclaim.

The old clam slowly opened his eyes, glanced at us, moved his mouth, and muttered, "Iβ€”What's wrong with me?" ”

I turned my head and saw that the Seventh Master's tears were about to fall, and this middle-aged man who was very deep in the city on weekdays could not control his mood at this time.

The seventh master roughly explained the matter, the old clam grinned at the corners of his mouth, and I hurriedly took a bottle of water and gave him a few sips: "Old clam, how are you feeling now?" ”

"I, I'm ......" the old clam frowned, "I feel like I can't move." ”

The seventh master sighed, and told the old clam truthfully about his condition on the side.

The old clam nodded and said with a wry smile: "In the future, I won't be able to accompany you anymore, right?" ”

"How can it be, after I go back, I will be fine when I heal my body." The seventh master smiled: "You have to believe in yourself, at this time yesterday, we all thought that you couldn't wake up, but after the master's treatment, isn't it still fine!" Okay, let's not talk about that, let's find the tomb and get out of here. ”

Because there was not much food left, we ate a little hastily, and I and the seventh master held the old clams, Liang Ruoyi was in front, and the cloth bag monk was behind, each with a flashlight, and walked into another road in the fork in the road.

In the dark, the old clam's breathing was much soothed than before, and the two of us felt a little easier when we helped him up, but he was still not able to control his body well, and he walked swaying, without a center of gravity.

After walking for more than half an hour, the road in front suddenly became wider, and after walking for a while, I saw an exit, and the warm sunlight shone in, making people feel comfortable!

"Sunshine!" I laughed: "Okay now, I guess we can go out directly!" There's no need to go back the way you came! ”

The road under my feet also began to turn uphill, and I walked for more than 20 minutes with some difficulty, and finally appeared at the exit!

Looking around, we found ourselves in a clearing halfway up a snow-capped mountain, and not far away there was a small waterhole, strangely speaking, with two views: one half sparkling water, the other half crystal clear ice.

There was snow everywhere, and the place where we had just come out was a very small cave, and the sun shone on the snow, and it shone a little white, which was a bit dazzling.

From a distance, there are also towering snow-capped mountains around, and the wind blows, raising snowflakes as if it is snowing.

"Seventh Master, where are we?!" I've never seen such a magnificent view, asked excitedly.

"Naturally, it's Miaojiling." Since the seventh master woke up, the habitual smile returned to his face: "Although we have walked a long way, we still can't walk out of the main peak of Xiling Snow Mountain, Miaojiling, this place should be on the back of Miaojiling, surrounded by mountains, the mountain road is extremely steep, and no one comes here." ”

I nodded, looking up at the sun I hadn't seen in a long time, and it was extra comfortable.

"Hey, don't forget what we're here for!" Liang Ruoyi saw that I looked intoxicated, and directly threw me a violent shudder.

"Oh! Oh yes! I smiled wryly and touched my head: "In this kind of place, there shouldn't be any evil things, the sunshine is so beautiful, I ......"

"Let's go, Xiao Gu, go to the water's edge!" The Seventh Master interrupted my lyrical words and beckoned me.

I answered, and followed everyone to the yin and yang pool. The snow was so deep that it could almost sink into my calf, because the old clam couldn't exert his strength, and the three of us had some difficulty walking, and Liang Ruoyi couldn't stand it, so he came over to help.

Tens of meters away, we walked for a full ten minutes before we walked over.

Standing at the edge of the pond and looking closely, you can see that the water is crystal clear, and there are no creatures below, but a pile of beautiful stones at the bottom of the water, which looks particularly beautiful in the sun.

"There's something over here!" Liang Ruoyi suddenly shouted.

We hurriedly followed, and saw that in the other end of the ice lake, a huge ice rock could be faintly seen, and a skeleton-like thing could be faintly seen.

"That's the bones of the snake!" The seventh master said.

"There's no place to store a coffin here!" I wasn't interested in the bones of the snake, and looked around at the other ice stones, trying to see if any coffins were frozen in the ice stones.

Several people looked around carefully, and indeed, except for the snake skeleton in the ice stone in front of them, there was nothing in the other ice stones. However, where will Li Longji's coffin be hidden?
