Xiao Yuyao and Yun Yun nodded in unison.

Pei Lao lowered his head and said thoughtfully, "Hmm...... Xiao Cang, Yun Yun, you help me carry him to the house first. ”

Meng Xiaocang responded, and hurriedly helped Pei Lao and Yun Yun carry the man into the house and put him on the bed.

Pei Lao opened the man's eyelids and found that his pupils had also turned purple.

Pei Lao's eyebrows furrowed, then he picked up the man's arm and took off the scarf, and found that the purple-black blood was still gurgling out, and the man's body was also accompanied by convulsions from time to time, Pei Lao's eyebrows wrinkled a little tighter.

Pei Lao pondered for a moment, and opened the sleeve of the man's other arm to see if there was a wound, but suddenly found that the man was wearing a fiery red watch on his wrist. Pei Lao looked at it and exclaimed softly: "This is ......"

"The dragon clan leads the way. Xiao Yuyao said in a deep voice beside her.

"Hmm...... Seemingly...... The origin of your life-saving benefactor is not simple," Pei Lao said earnestly, "Xiao Cangyunyun, prepare the things for surgery, remember to bring the black sandalwood jar at the top of the medicine house, go and prepare, Yaoyao, you come to help." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Yuyao responded.

Pei Lao brought a small bowl of lamp oil and lit the fire, and a sharp scimitar of about three inches traveled back and forth on the flames, and at this time Xiao Cang and Yun Yun had already prepared everything.

Pei Lao took off the man's clothes, held a small scimitar in his hand, and cleaned up the pus and blood at the wound with three strokes and five divisions, Xiao Yuyao helped to stop the bleeding and apply medicine very neatly on the side, Pei Lao saw it in his eyes, and secretly admired it in his heart.

Xiao Yuyao, as the eldest daughter of the Lingdie family, is young and beautiful, but the most admirable thing is her medical talent, she is a typical girl who can rely on her appearance, but she has to rely on her talent.

Xiao Yuyao has studied with herself since she was a child, and by the time she was 13 years old, she had nothing to teach her anymore. Medicine and botany are all about memorization and hands-on, which is inseparable from her own efforts.

Veteran Pei opened the sandalwood jar, and the strong smell of medicine made Xiao Cangyun take a few steps back, and Xiao Yuyao, who was standing in place, was also choked and coughed.

Pei Lao scooped out a small bowl of potion from the sandalwood jar and poured it into Du Xiaobai's mouth. Within a moment, the purple color on Du Xiaobai's face gradually receded, the convulsions were much less, and the bleeding on his arm stopped, but he still didn't wake up.

"Teacher, what's going on?" Xiao Yuyao asked.

"I just gave him the antidote to the madness. Yaoyao, I have taken care of the Soul Eater Flower for many years, and I know its temperament very well. The wound on the man's arm, though severe, was only a skin wound and was not to be feared. Soul Eater Flower likes the souls of Yang Shou Unfinished, but in fact, he likes the spiritual qi on their bodies. The greater the resentment, the more spiritual power is emitted, and the deeper the poisoning will be. However, because your sedan chair is coated with the family's special floral scent to defend against the Soul Eater Flower Poison, he inhales very little Soul Eater Flower Corpse Madness. This was supposed to make him safer, but he developed a coma and convulsions, which were symptoms of the third stage of Soul Eater poisoning. The corpse is insane and poisonous, divided into about three stages. The first stage is also the mildest stage, the symptoms are dizziness and delirium, the second stage is the stage of madness, and it is also the stage where most of the soul is eaten by flowers, and the third stage is the coma convulsions and the spread of purple blood. It is incomprehensible that he inhaled only a small amount of flower poison and then quickly entered the third stage. I don't have a clue, so I can only help him get rid of the necrophilia for the time being. Pei Lao replied.

"Teacher, I think this man is a little thin, could it have something to do with his own physique?" Xiao Yuyao said strangely.

"Now the preliminary judgment is that his situation should indeed be related to himself, and I can't say anything else, if we want to really figure it out, we still need to do more tests. The master's equipment here is not complete, so you can only take him back to Lingdie Castle for testing. Pei Lao continued.

Xiao Yuyao nodded silently. Her gaze shifted to the fiery red watch on the man's wrist again, her brows tightly knitted together.

While Xiao Yuyao was pondering, a little girl pushed open the door and walked in.

The little girl wore a big straw hat that covered half of her face, and she was covered with mud. The little girl did not pay attention to the situation in the house, but walked to the corner of the wall as if no one was around, and began to take off her coat. When she took off her straw hat, she revealed two naughty little pigtails on her head, as well as a ruddy face that had not been taken off childishly, as if she was carved out of the same mold as Xiaocang.

Yun Yun's eyes lit up, and she shouted loudly: "Meng Xiaoshuang!"

The little girl was startled by the sudden shout, turned her head to look, and found that it was Xiao Yuyao and Yun Yun, so she screamed excitedly, and hurriedly ran to the two of them, took their hands and began to jump around, not noticing that there was still a half-naked man lying on the bed in the room.

Pei Lao turned his face and said: "You kid, seeing that the eldest lady is not big or small, the eldest lady finally came to visit, hurry up and learn from her, don't know how to go out to play in the mountains and rivers all day long." ”

Meng Xiaoshuang spit out her little fragrant tongue, "Master, look at what you said, what is it called playing in the mountains and rivers, I went to the back mountain to collect medicine today, and I found a grass that I have never seen." Meng Xiaocang, go outside the door and bring my medicine basket. ”

Meng Xiaocang on the side pouted, turned around and went out of the house to bring in the medicine basket.

"Jing is talking nonsense, then in the back mountain, is there any grass that the teacher doesn't know?" Pei Lao looked incredulous.

"Old man, you are empiricist, or you have to do it~, look!" Xiaoshuang took out a purple-red grass from the medicine basket.

Pei Lao took the grass, and after carefully studying it for a while, his brows furrowed, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"What's wrong, teacher?" Xiao Yuyao saw that Pei Lao was worried.

Pei Lao sighed lightly and said, "Yaoyao, in fact, I just have something I want to report to the patriarch, you came just in time, I will tell you the matter, and please go back and tell the patriarch." ”

“...... Okay, teacher, please. Xiao Yuyao knew that Pei Lao was rarely so serious, and couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

"Xiaoshuang, come here, the master is glad that you are not playful, but the master tells you that this is actually a grass we know, this grass is called Broken Tooth Orchid. Pei Lao turned to Xiaoshuang and said.

"Isn't the Broken Tooth Orchid green, not to mention that this one has more textures than the Broken Tooth Orchid!" Meng Xiaoshuang asked in disbelief with her big watery eyes.

"It's a pity, this is indeed the Broken Tooth Orchid, as its name suggests, the thorns at its roots are like broken teeth, and its appearance is very unique, and the whole underworld is the same. But...... It is not certain whether it can continue to be called the Broken Tooth Orchid in the future, because it has already mutated," Pei Lao looked at the Broken Tooth Orchid that had mutated in his hand and said, "Moreover, I think that more and more mutated flowers and plants will appear in the underworld in the future." ”

After listening to Pei Lao's words, everyone looked at each other, and Xiao Yuyao was the first to react: "Teacher, I don't want to doubt your judgment, but for many years in the underworld, the quality of plants, medicinal materials, and even river water has not changed!"

Pei Lao sighed and said, "Yaoyao, if you are not completely sure of being a teacher, you will never dare to speak falsely. I have good evidence, you come with me. ”

Everyone followed Pei Lao out of the house, Xiao Yuyao turned her head to look at Du Xiaobai, who was still lying on the bed, and gently covered him with a blanket, then turned around and walked out of the house and came to the courtyard.

"This, this, this, and this one, all have symptoms of mutation," Pei Lao said with his hand pointing back and forth to the flowers and plants under the side of the wall, "These are all inconspicuous flowers and plants, so they may not have attracted the attention of others, they all have three distinctive features, the body has become purple-red, the leaf stems have become thicker, and the texture has increased." ”

Pei Lao pointed to the flowers and plants under the wall on the other side and said, "There are also those flowers, which are also on the way to mutation." ”。

"These flowers and plants that have mutated and are mutating have one thing in common, that is, the water used to water them is the water of the Lechuan River. Pei Lao said in a deep voice.

The crowd was speechless.

Pei Lao continued: "The broken tooth orchid that Xiaoshuang found today grows on the lonely Lan Mountain near the Lechuan River, and the rhizome also absorbs the groundwater of the Lechuan River. I think it won't be long before many flowers and plants on the mountain will show mutated characteristics. ”

"Teacher, have you ever tested the characteristics of these mutated flowers and plants?" Xiao Yuyao asked.

"It's completely changed. It gets very bizarre. Basically, they have a certain toxicity. There are several types of flowers that become very toxic. These flowers and plants must no longer be used to make medicinal herbs. Moreover, yesterday I inspected the water of the Lechuan River and found a very strange thing," Pei Lao frowned, "The water of the Lechuan River contains cloud mushrooms. ”

"Yun Rong?" Xiao Yuyao was startled and shouted.

Pei Lao nodded heavily.

Xiaoshuang asked on the side, "Master, what is Yun Fu, why have I never heard of you?" ”

Pei Lao stroked Xiaoshuang's forehead and said, "The reason why the teacher didn't teach you is because this cloud mushroom is not a thing in the underworld. This plant is extremely demanding on the growing environment, requiring extremely low temperatures, and it can only be harvested at the peak of the highest peak in the Heavenly Realm, Xianwu Peak. It is said that there are very few people who can climb it, so it is extremely rare, and its medicinal properties are very unique and the characteristics are extremely distinct. One of its medicinal properties is that if you add the ingredient of cloud mushroom to other medicines, the medicine can become colorless and tasteless, and even the bitter medicine is easy to eat. If you add cloud mushroom to the poison, the poison will also become difficult to identify, and it can completely kill people invisibly. ”

Hearing Pei Lao's words, everyone fell silent again. The rivers of the underworld have botanical ingredients that only the heavens have, which is beyond their comprehension.

Xiao Yuyao looked into the distance at this time, her brows furrowed. Yun Yun Xiaoshuang and the others didn't realize the seriousness of this matter, but as the future head of the Spirit Butterfly Family, she already felt a chill in her heart.

The Spirit Butterfly family is the largest medicine family in the underworld, and almost all the medicines and healers in the underworld come from the Spirit Butterfly family. These medicines are almost entirely made from flowers and plants in the underworld. About 80 percent of these flowers and plants are absorbed by the water of the Lechuan River. If the water of the Lechuan River is polluted, all the flowers and plants that grow on the water of the Lechuan River will be invaded, and I am afraid that they will no longer be used to make medicinal herbs. Then, the Spirit Butterfly family, which lives on medicine, will definitely suffer a blow, and when the time comes, what will be the fate of the family? How will the entire creatures in the underworld be cured and survive? And the water contains cloud mushrooms that can only grow in the heavenly realm, is it ...... Was it someone who deliberately threw poison into the Lethe River?

Pei Lao looked at Xiao Yuyao quietly and did not speak.

Pei Qingqing grew up in the underworld since he was a child, he is close to fifty years old this year, he is respected by the family as Pei Lao, he has never married, and he has been obsessed with raising flowers and distinguishing flowers and picking up grass and recognizing grass all his life, and his skills are very exquisite, and he is known as one of the four talents in the underworld, and he is nicknamed "maniac". It sounds a little indecent, but it's also very apt.

Pei Qingqing watched Xiao Yuyao go from a toddler to a slim man, taught her to learn more knowledge, and treated her like her own daughter. But after all, he is only a small part of a big family, and he has never encountered such a thing that may affect the fate of a big family, and even, it affects the entire underworld.

"Teacher, this side of the Hidden Lan Mountain has been affected, I wonder when it will affect the Holy Mother Mountain......" Xiao Yuyao's eyes looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Holy Mother Mountain.

"......" Pei Lao was stunned by Xiao Yuyao's words, and he came back to his senses, which instantly made him shudder.

I only care about the flowers and plants around me, how can I ignore the Holy Mother Mountain...... If the medicinal herbs in the mountains of Yulan Mountain could not be used, it would indeed affect the fate of the entire Spirit Butterfly family. The absence of medicinal materials will also affect the survival of the people of the underworld, but it may be possible to find other solutions to replace the previous medicinal materials. But I forgot that Our Lady Mountain is also an area where the Lethe River flows, and if the water source under Our Lady Mountain is affected, it will not only affect the Baishou grass that I cultivate and plant on Our Lady Mountain, but also the Virgin Lotus that naturally grows on Our Lady Mountain. Although the Hundred Longevity Grass is a strange thing, it is not indispensable, but the Holy Mother Lotus is a sacred object that suppresses the gates of hell, and if it is polluted, the ones imprisoned in hell ...... How many people will this really affect......

Pei Lao didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"I'm going back!" Xiao Yuyao is a very decisive person, she knows that she can't do this thing, so there is no need to waste time here.

"Pei Lao, I'm going to take away these pots of flowers that have mutated, the man in the house, please take care of them first. Xiao Yuyao commanded neatly.

"Go ahead, I'm here. Pei Lao answered, and then turned around and instructed Xiaocang Xiaoshuang to move all the flowers to Xiao Yuyao's sedan chair.

"Miss, what about me?" Yun Yun asked anxiously.

"You stay here first, help the teacher take care of the man in the house, someone will come to pick you up later and take you back to the city," Xiao Yuyao finished speaking, turned around and got into the sedan chair, suddenly thought of something, turned back and said, "If he wants to leave, don't stop him, if he doesn't go, I will definitely make arrangements for him." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yuyao's sedan curtain was covered and left with a swoop.

At this time, Du Xiaobai, who was in the house, had already opened his eyes.
