Chapter 147: Gu
Xuanyuan Chen and I glanced at each other, looked at Sheming, and waited for him to say the second thing.
She Ming raised the corner of his eyebrows, took out a note and handed it over, "The second piece is relatively simple, there are one hundred and thirty miles to the east, there is a hat weir mountain, there is a blue-faced two-tailed spirit fox in the mountain, you just need to capture the spirit fox alive and come back, and it will be." ”
I took the page, and this was the appearance of the spirit fox and the rough map of Maoyan Mountain.
The map is also drawn in detail, and even the approximate location of the spirit fox is drawn, looking at the map, but the road up the mountain is slightly tortuous, but the steepness of this mountain is compared to Ji Ge Mountain, it is simply a small thing, as long as the spirit fox is found, it seems that it is not difficult to catch.
Xuanyuan Chen asked him again, "What is the third one?" ”
She Ming's face was a little unnatural, but after hesitating for a moment, he said, "This third thing is simple to say, and difficult to say, just wait for the two of you to finish the first two things and come back, and the doctor will tell you about this last thing." ”
Xuanyuan Chen nodded, glanced at the page in his hand, and responded, "The reputation of the Doctor Immortal is famous all over the world, but it will take nearly a day to go down the mountain from here, and it will take two days to go to Naweir Mountain from here, but my girl ......."
"That's fine. ”
He took out a locket carved with a strange pattern from the cuff, handed it over, and commanded, "Take it." ”
I took all of them and opened the lid, and inside was a white insect-shaped elixir, which smelled very pungent.
"What is this?" I asked.
He didn't answer, just looked at me indifferently, as if to say, I'll tell you after you eat.
At this point, I picked up the worm-shaped elixir and swallowed it with my mouth open.
How to describe it, this thing smells strange, but the entrance is tasteless, and there is a faint sweetness. But when the sweetness melted away, I suddenly felt a pang in my body, and something felt like something was churning in my heart.
The feeling became stronger and stronger, and in just a moment I was sweating in pain.
Xuanyuan Chen hurriedly put me on a bamboo rattan on the right side, wiped the sweat from my forehead distressedly, and asked, "Sheyi Xian, what did you give her to eat?" ”
He didn't say anything, just kept looking at me, because it hurt so much, I couldn't look at the color in his eyes, until I was a little less painful, he opened his mouth and spit out two words: Gu worm.
"What!"
When I heard the word worm, my stomach turned upside down, and I instinctively vomited a few times.
She Ming looked at me lightly and said, "This is the Mother Gu, as the name suggests, there are two in total, the one you just took is the Mother Gu, and the other Gu is in my room." Within fifteen days of this Gu suit entering the body, it will use the power of the Gu body to make people return to their spirits, and the two of you will take advantage of this half-moon period to go down the mountain to do things. ”
Xuanyuan Chen frowned slightly, "What about after half a month?" ”
"When you two come back in half a month, I will use Zi Gu to lure out the mother Gu, and when the time comes, if you can help me do the third thing, this doctor will find a way to try to detoxify this girl and continue her life."
"Figured out?" Xuanyuan Chen's beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly he, and he looked at him and said, "What does the medical immortal mean is that he is not sure that the poison will be cured at present?" ”
She said, "The poison has been with her for many years, and it has already penetrated into the bone marrow, I can only say that I tried it, and the final result can only depend on the will of God." ”
Xuanyuan Chen's face was slightly gloomy, and he gently tried to remove the sweat beads on my face with a handkerchief.
With this effort, the Gu worms in the body seemed to be a lot more settled, and the heart was not so painful, but there was a steady stream of power spreading from there, and after a while, this power was filled to the limbs, weakened, and swept away.
"How does it feel? But still uncomfortable? Xuanyuan Chen asked.
I clenched my fists a few times and got up from my chair again, feeling all over my strength.
I have long heard that the grass Gu is strange and strange, but I can see it today, and it really lives up to its name.
However, I heard that the power of this Gu is to concentrate my own vitality and overdraw, and now I can stand up, and I will ...... in the future
"Little girl ......"
Xuanyuan Chen seemed to think of this, and called out worriedly.
I just smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I only have three days to live, so it's half a month more, no matter how you calculate it, it's all earned." ”
"You think so." He smiled wryly.
What if you don't want to open it, it's not the time to care about these now, half a month, the time is very urgent, or think about how to get the head, Linghu catch it.
Dangling on the verge of dying, I wanted to live even more.
She Ming said lightly, "The Gu worm has taken effect, now is the time, you two can go down the mountain." If the matter is done, I will return to Xiaozhu before the time of half a month, and the doctor will only wait for you to arrive. With that, he strode into the depths of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Xuanyuan Chen's eyes were pale, and he got up and said, "Mr. is highly talented, famous and apocalyptic." When the head and the spirit fox were presented, I also asked the doctor fairy to keep his promise and save my girl's life. ”
She Ming didn't reply, but walked with his hands behind his back, his loose hair dancing lightly in the wind, and his white coarse cloth robe fluttering gently.
"As long as you can do three things, you will definitely find a way."
His figure walked farther and farther away, and just when we thought he wouldn't talk back, his voice rang out.
Although he just said to try, try, it's better than not trying.
I glanced at Yu Xuanyuan Chen, he stepped forward and gently held my hand, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain." ”
"Hmm." I answered, and put my fingers on his palms.
We, down the hill!
The mountain breeze is blowing, and the fragrance of medicine is rippling.
The two of us walked out of the medicine building hand in hand and went all the way down the mountain.
When I went up the mountain, it was chaotic, and when I went down the mountain, I realized that the mountain road was steep, and there were several dangerous cliffs that were very laborious to climb with both hands and feet, and I really didn't know how Xuanyuan Chen took me to the top of the mountain.
The two of us hurried all the way, and when the time of Shen was nearing the end, it was already nearly dark, so the two of us quickened their speed, and walked for a closer time, and then we reached the foot of the mountain.
Xuanyuan Chen reached out and took an object, blew the fire fold and lit it, and with a whoosh, a cluster of letter smoke rose into the sky, exploding a colorful flower in the dark night.
About the time of tea, a column of people and horses came at night, and when the line was near, the leader jumped down directly from the horse that was hurrying, knelt down on one knee and bowed, "Subordinate Mingqi, see the prince!" ”
Xuanyuan Chen nodded, and said up, Mingqi got up, a guard had already led a horse, he jumped on the horse's back, and then bent over, which took me on the horse's back, and the guard had already handed me a black cloak, he turned up a wrap and wrapped me, and then beat the horse forward.
Descending the mountain for more than ten miles, first through a shallow forest, and then forward, all are uninhabited grasslands.
The climate of Beili is different from that of Xiqi, and the four levels of Xiqi are distinct, and it is already late autumn at this time, and Beili will still be in midsummer.
The grass is lush, the fireflies are flying, and there is grass and no trees in front of you, looking ahead, the sky and the earth are vast, and the stars seem to be right in front of you, and you can lie in your hand when you reach out and grab it.
"Little girl, I really want to just hug you like this and keep going." Xuanyuan Chen lowered his head and whispered in my ear. The warm breath in his mouth hit the side of his ear, and my face turned red unconsciously.
As if sensing something, Xuanyuan Chen held the reins in one hand, hugged me with the other, and pressed me closer to him with a little force, "Little girl, it's good to be able to hold you like this." ”
As soon as my heart softened, I relaxed and leaned against him.
yes, it's nice to be able to ride horses together......
"Little girl, when you're well, come back to Zhonglu with me, I want to show you where I grew up, okay?" He said softly.
The night is silent, the seven stars in the sky are shining from time to time, the air is filled with a strong fragrance of grass, and the sound of horses' hooves in the ears is bursting, so good.
I smiled slightly, and Xuanyuan Chen didn't ask anymore, just approached me and hit the horse hard, so that the wind in my ears slid faster......
An hour later, the front turned into the official road, and played the horse for two pillars of incense time, the front is convenient to see that there is a city tower brightly lit, in the approach, you can see the word "Xiang Licheng" on the city tower.
Beili has just been taken by Baili Tianqi, and the guards at the gate of the country have all been replaced by Dongmu forbidden soldiers, so as not to cause more trouble, we slowed down our horses, entered the city in three batches, found a good inn, and stayed for the time being, ready to explore the situation.
The inn is divided into three floors, there are just a few private rooms upstairs empty, after everyone checks in, the child will send hot water, I closed the door, forked the doors and windows, and soaked in a comfortable hot bath.
Almost as soon as I had changed my clothes and dried my hair, there was a knock on the door.
"Dada...... Little girl, how are you, I have something to do with you. ”
I answered, dragged Jin Jinpeng and draped it on my body, and opened the door for him.
He also seemed to have washed up, changed his clothes, shaved his beard, and although his eyes were bloodshot, his face was very clear.
"I thought you hadn't eaten properly in days, so I sent you this." He curled his lips and smiled, and I saw that he had a bag in his hand.
Without waiting for me to speak, he dodged into the house, walked to the table and opened the big bag, which was full of special food, xiaolongbao, chicken legs, and all kinds of manuscript cakes, all of which were unique to Beili.
"Come here, try this." He greeted me with a smile.
I smiled slightly, walked over anyway, picked up a small bag in my hand, put it in my mouth and took a bite......
"How's it taste?" He asked with a smile.
Naturally, I nodded, and he smiled and handed me something else, and I took it and took two bites.
Actually, I haven't told him all the way, no matter how delicious these things are, they taste the same as chewing wax for me, and I can't taste the slightest taste.
On the way down the mountain, he was afraid that I would be thirsty, so he picked a lot of wild plums for me, and the fruits were red, smelling sweet and sour, but there was no taste in the mouth.
Later, I thought that the loss of taste was related to the Gu worms on the body, so I wouldn't let him know about it first.
But it doesn't have a sense of taste, it's bad after all, I can't eat a few bites, and I can't eat anymore.
Xuanyuan Chen thought that I didn't have an appetite, and he didn't persuade anymore, but just took out the white sketch that Sheming gave me, and said, "I sent someone to check and inquire about who this person is." ”
"Who is it?" I asked.
He glanced at me and said, "He Yi, the city lord of Xiangli City." ”
