161. Moxibustion

Merlin whipped the dark unicorn and hurried back to Ashhearth, he had never felt that living on the third floor was such a hurry as he did now, he wished he had a pair of wings and went upstairs.

The sun shone on the spire of the Ashburg Castle, and the small bamboo forest was quiet. Through the open window, Merlin heard a pious prayer: "Goddess of Wisdom, please listen to the prayers of the believers and heal this poor boy!"

The repeated murmur sounded like a ray of sunlight shining into Merlin's mind, and at this time he began to hesitate, maybe there was really a god in this world. This thought flashed through me, like a seed quietly buried in the soil, waiting for the rain and sunshine to bring the moment of germination.

Merlin didn't bother the woman who was kneeling on the ground praying sincerely, and he took out the wild mountain ginger from the space package. Freshly dug out of the dirt, the wild ginger is fresh and tender, and it exudes a spicy smell.

Merlin cut the fresh wild ginger into thin slices, pasted them on top of the Guan Yuan acupoint below Arthur's navel, twisted some dried mugwort leaves, crushed them into fine filaments, and piled them on top of the ginger slices. Use fire to set the mugwort leaves on fire. A trail of green smoke rose up.

Merlin took a deep breath, it was this familiar smell of moxibustion. The ancient ancestors discovered the medicinal effects of moxibustion in the era of lack of medicine, and in the era of later empires, there were many kinds of synthetic medicines, but there were still some people who liked to use this ancient method to treat diseases. Mei Xiaolin is one of them.

As the saying goes, there is Chen Ai in the family, but the doctor does not use it. Especially after coming into contact with children, Mei Xiaolin discovered many uses of moxibustion, basically children's headaches, brain fever, colds and flu with moxibustion have a good effect. After Merlin saw Aiye in Hippo City, he collected a lot, because in this world, the medical conditions are really unbelievable, and it is always right to save a little more Aiye to prepare.

A pillar of mugwort was quickly burned out, and Merlin replaced it with a piece of ginger and rekindled a pile of mugwort. Miaomiao's green smoke filled the surroundings. Arthur finally stopped crying, his hands and feet stopped shaking, and he was quiet.

"How's it going, Arthur, is he better?" asked Leah, looking up.

Merlin nodded, "I don't cry anymore, I will sweat again later, and I will get better slowly." ”

"What is this?" asked Leah, pointing to the moxibustion that was smoking from Arthur's belly.

"This is mugwort from the city of Hippo, and this is wild ginger from the Black Forest. Merlin took out two things and placed them in Leah's hand.

"Your Highness, it doesn't have to be this way, Leah is not interested in therapeutics. Leah's eyes were red, the healing potion had always been in the hands of the church, and ordinary people would not want to touch it, but now that Merlin had taught her these things, she felt a trust and need that she had never felt before.

"I got this recipe from a dream, and the goddess of wisdom reminded me that it needed to be applied for seven days in a row before it would be effective. Merlin told a lie because he had no way to explain where this treatment came from. It would be much simpler to attribute the source of the cure to the Goddess of Wisdom, at least Leah wouldn't have doubted it.

At this time, the second pillar of mugwort leaves happened to be burned, the green smoke dissipated, Arthur's face became red, and his soft little nose opened and breathed, making a slight snoring sound, after working so hard, he finally fell asleep.

"And said it would be seven days, and you see he's already asleep!" Leah burst out laughing.

"Arthur is cold, and it's not so easy to be completely well. ”

Leah's face changed, and her brow furrowed again.

"Don't worry, as long as you put a column of mugwort leaves at these two points under Arthur's navel every night before going to bed, he will be fine for seven days. Merlin squeezed Leah's hand tightly.

Leah's original bohemian dress was wet in the rain on the way back, and while Merlin went to dig wild ginger, she changed into clean clothes, but Merlin's clothes were too big for Leah's figure, especially the top, which didn't fit at all.

"Look at it," the fair-skinned Leah's neck turned red with embarrassment, "It's not that I haven't seen it!" Leah's voice was as low as a mosquito.

"Can't get enough!" Merlin's cheeks grew thicker.

"Nasty!" Leah's face was as red as sunset, turning to the other side.

"Where do you hate it?"

"I hate it everywhere!"

......

The fallen minotaur emerged from the void, his eyes red, and the corners of his mouth spurting white foam. Rommel knew that these guys were definitely not easy to mess with, such a depraved race was almost extinct on the continent, but there were no absolutes, and some spellcasters who had mastered the secrets of space had the ability to summon them. The strength of these fallen minotaurs is comparable to that of Lance in Ashfurnace Village, and they almost have the strength of the peak of the Bronze Horseman. They hold a black axe in one hand and a black shield in the other, and in the bard's singing, these black cauldrons and black shields can hurt people.

The three fallen minotaurs formed a sharp triangular formation, and Rommel didn't have a hard grasp of these big men, and after Merlin left on the dark unicorn, Rommel also began to worry that Arthur was coming, and he didn't want to waste time with these guys here.

"Rommel, do you want to do anything with me?" Parker was a little helpless about Merlin's departure, but there was nothing he could do, he took out his weapon and joined the warband.

"Uncle Parker, I'm sorry, Aunt Leah is in a hurry, we're going back to save people?"

"Don't mention that slut!" Parker said, a little irritated.

"Yo, Parker is angry," Sophia said, covering the wound on her face with one hand, "Parker, this is the end of the game, you lost." ”

"No, no, the game isn't over yet. Parker struggled, he knew very well what Sophia was doing, and if it ended now, he would be greeted with unimaginable fear and punishment, and those wriggling tentacles were the nightmare of his sleepless night.

"Are you still struggling, aren't you still giving up, the hope Merlin brought to Leah, what do you think they are doing now?" Sophia laughed very presumptuously, as if a fox was crying, which sounded worse than crying.

"I want to see the end with my own eyes!"

"Okay, then let you die!" Sophia tapped her finger, and a puddle of water appeared on the ground, and a beam of light shone into the water, and a clear reflection appeared in it. Leah leaned on Merlin's shoulder, her eyebrows closed, and she snored slightly.

"See, this is what they look like now, aren't you still dead?"

"No, I'm not reconciled!" Parker growled.

"Come on, Parker, depraved, come here, and have the power you have always dreamed of!" Sophia spread her arms.
