A small green pond, next to a tall locust tree, and a few blooming peach blossoms on the side, shade the loess houses behind it. If it weren't for the lumps on the faces of every villager here, it would be a village with a pleasant scenery.

Chen Muzhi and Liang Wenxin, under the warm greeting of the Qi family's father and son, ate some wild vegetables and bamboo shoots they picked in the mountains. The two fathers and sons also cooked a little millet porridge, Chen Muzhi and Liang Wenxin shirked it and let their father and son eat it. Then he followed them and walked along the forest path for a long time until he reached the entrance of the village.

There is a lot of commotion in the village now, a person with a gray beard who looks like a village chief, leading people to collect food and herbs from house to house, making a fuss, some of them are closing their doors, some are crying, and some of them are squatting in the corner of the wall and are stunned.

Young children don't know the taste of sorrow, in the good spring, at the entrance of the village to catch butterflies in the yellow flowers. Suddenly, I saw the uncle in the village walking out of the woods, followed by two fairy-like people, and the children who had never seen the world were stupid, with a thumb in their mouths and snot on their lips.

Far away, Qi Laohan shouted: "Village chief! I've got the miracle doctor back! ”

After shouting a few times, the whole village gathered around, and Liang Wenxin and Chen Muzhi, who were surrounded inside, whispered and bit their ears, "Master, are we too high-profile like this, I feel like they are watching monkeys." ”

"No way, Master, my charm is too great."

Chen Muzhi thought, "I don't think this person can do anything." I had to call Qi Laohan and said, "My aunt likes to be quiet, does she have a house?" Just ask the village steward to find out. ”

"It should be, it should be."

Qi Laohan discussed with the village chief, and finally invited Chen Muzhi and Liang Wenxin into the largest house in the village, the ancestral hall. It is also the most luxurious place in the village, and a traditional couplet is engraved on the pillar in front of the door, "Loyal and heirloom, poetry and books are passed down from generation to generation". There is a patio and two side rooms. More than a dozen pillars in the lobby supported the roof, and inside was a wide long table, and several leading old people in the village invited Liang Wenxin and Chen Mu to sit down.

The rest of the village did not disperse, and gathered in the three floors inside and three layers outside the door, and even the big locust tree outside the house was crawling people.

Liang Wen's mind was depressed, but his medical skills were still there, so after a little look at a few people, he found the symptoms and asked, "Is it a hematoma from the same day?" ”

After receiving a unanimous reply from everyone, Liang Wenxin said: "Everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation are different, so the problem lies in the water source shared in the village. ”

Everyone talked about each other, and the village chief led by him asked tremblingly: "Who is so vicious?" It's just that this neighborhood is mountainous, and the village usually uses water from the well next to the pool, so it is not a long-term solution to go to the distant river to get water! ”

Qi Laohan said: "The divine doctor naturally has a method, you look at my face, it will be cured at once." ”

Chen Muzhi said: "Could it have anything to do with the priest you said?" ”

Although the people felt a lot of pity in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything more, so as not to anger the "gods". , the top priority is to detoxify first.

Chen Muzhi also turned his head to look at Liang Wenxin, Liang Wenxin thought for a while and said: "The poison in the body, I have my own medicine to detoxify, but the poison in the water needs to be combined with a large number of herbs to detoxify!" ”

"Just tell me the miracle doctor, if you need anything, we'll find it!"

"yes, yes."

"First go to the river to get a big bucket of water, and when I come back and boil it, I put the antidote in it and drink a sip of antidote for each person. In addition, you also need red poria cocos, xanthella, parsnip, ghost needle, and cnidium monnieri these flavored medicines, the more the better. After detoxification, Xu Changqing also needs to mash it externally. ”

One of the clan elders hesitated: "Divine doctor, we collect medicines for a living in our era, and these detoxifying medicines have been tried before, but not only are they not good, but they are even more serious." ”

"Naturally, there is also my flavor medicine as a medicine guide."

"Okay! These are common herbs in the mountains, and our village has been collecting herbs for generations for a living, and each family should have some, so we will arrange for people to go. ”

Everyone in the Qi family dispersed one after another, and everyone at the door was driven out to work, only the village chief and the two old men stayed to chat with Liang Wenxin and Chen Muzhi.

Liang Wenxin stared at the big locust tree outside with a pair of beautiful eyes for a while, and asked the patriarch: "This big locust tree in your village has been around for some years." ”

"Yes, there has been this big locust tree since I was a child, and I heard my ancestors say that since there is this village, this tree has been there, I don't know how many hundred years it has been."

"Get out there and have a look."

The people in the Qijia village were scattered and busy, and when they came closer, they found that the locust tree was really not small, the tree was surrounded by a zhangxu, and the trunk was like a dragon, although it had not sprouted, but it still had the style of covering the sky and the sun.

Liang Wenxin circled the tree three times, raised his chin and groaned, Chen Muzhi followed behind him, and asked when he saw this: "Master, is this tree strange?" ”

"Yes," Liang Wenxin replied, turning his head and asking the village chief not far away, "It's already March of spring, why hasn't this tree sprouted yet?" Is this true in previous years? ”

A few old people also felt strange about this reminder, and they didn't find anything when they looked at it every day, but when they thought about it at the moment, in previous years, they should have sprouted earlier.

"Mu Zhi, when Yan'er was in retreat, he said that you are good at drawing talismans, but do you have talismans to ward off evil spirits and suppress demons?"

"There's a demon in this tree?" Chen Muzhi was surprised.

"Not really, but it looks like it's a bit of a parasitism from a spirit animal."

"The disciple has never drawn a demon suppression talisman, but there is a low-level drawing method in the "Shenxiao Taiyi Thunder Book" that fell out of the third-order heavenly thunder talisman last time, which should be true, and it does not rely too much on the thunder spirit root, but it can only be drawn if it is a little 'lightning strike wood' as a talisman."

Liang Wenxin took Chen Muzhi back to the ancestral hall, and the village chief asked, "Has the divine doctor seen anything?" ”

Liang Wenxin frowned slightly and said, "Your village is almost about to be wiped out!" ”

The village chief hurriedly asked what was wrong, Liang Wenxin said a few words, and did not want to reveal the identity of the cultivation road, and asked: "Have you ever had a piece of wood in your village that has been struck by lightning?" ”

An old man said: "Yes, yes, there was a big jujube tree on the mountain in the early years, but there was a heavy rain one year, which was cut off by lightning, and then it was carried down and placed at the carpenter's house in the east of the village, is this useful?" ”

Chen Muzhizhi: "Just a little bit is enough, and you also need a quiet room." ”

The village chief asked him to hurry up and move the "lightning strike wood", and the other people cleaned out a quiet room in the side room of the ancestral hall.

Not long after, the people in the village "hey, hey, hey" put the jujube wood that had been struck by lightning on the wooden cart and pushed it over.

Chen Muzhi and Liang Wenxin went out to take a look, good guys, more than a zhang long, more than two feet in circumference, Chen Muzhi smiled a little bitterly: "Just a little bit, you don't need to work so hard." ”

Qi Laohan came over with the cart and said, "I thought it was useless before, but since the divine doctor can use it, I will move it over directly, and put it in the ancestral hall in the future." ”

Chen Muzhi asked them to push the lightning wood into the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and no one was allowed to watch and peep.

Liang Wenxin asked them to take a medicine jar and a white porcelain bowl.

Closing the courtyard door, Chen Muzhi took out the flying sword, and with a slight stroke, he cut a half-foot-large piece of lightning strike wood from the trunk of the tree and put it into the storage bag for later use.

scraped off some black sawdust, entered the quiet room with Liang Wenxin, and took out the Chimu Lingju pen, red silk landscape inkstone, and other materials such as "Shenxiao Taiyi Thunder Book", cinnabar rune paper, etc., and began to draw the Heavenly Thunder Talisman for the first time.
