Chapter 197: The Vanity of Purpose (2)

The doctor in the medical hall is an older man, with white hair and white beard, dressed in a long robe, and looks a little gentle.

He put the medical book away and carefully placed it next to him, stretched out his hand to the seat in front of him, and let Su fall over, opening his mouth was a landmine.

"I know it."

Sang Ling couldn't believe it.

"Do you really recognize this poison?"

Not to mention that she didn't believe it, even Su Luo didn't believe it, Pot City is a small city, there are many mortals living here, and the traffic news is blocked. Don't talk about poison, just say that monks are hard to see, how can it be solved.

She still has a little hope in her heart, in case she scratches the lottery ticket and wins five million!

The doctor smiled and was not in a hurry to explain, first checked Su Luo's injury, and after asking a few words, he was already confident and very sure.

"It's not a complicated venom in him, it's a unique kind of mountain grass and tree of ours, called hook leaf grass."

She was even more confused.

"Hook leaf grass? I've never heard of any grass so powerful! ”

The old doctor touched his beard a few times and thought about it, then took a pen and sketched a few strokes on the paper, and drew a piece of grass. He handed over the paper and instructed:

"This is the kind of grass that grows in a lot in the mountains outside the city. All you have to do is bring its stems and leaves, and I can detoxify it. However, this hook leaf grass will be completely dead after a day, so you should bring it as soon as you dig it, and don't delay on the way. ”

Sang Ling took the paper, but did not look at the painting first, but stared at the old doctor carefully. The old man who sent the assist? It could also be the villain of murder and robbery!

The old doctor blinked, there was a little puzzle in his eyes, but more of it was gentle and friendly, and waved his hand:

"Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about it. Three years ago, I also had a patient with the same symptoms, and he said that it was because the grass was poisoned, and I studied it for a while to find a solution to this thing. At the same time, it is also strange that a grass that does not harm people, how can someone be poisoned? Later, by accident, I learned his identity. Presumably, he should be the same identity as you. ”

Su Luo's hand that grabbed the armrest was tight.

The old doctor continued to be kind:

"Don't be so nervous, the old man didn't say it back then, and the old man naturally won't say it today, you can believe this. Go quickly, it's dark and the mountain road is not easy to walk. ”

After saying that, he didn't care about their reactions, sat back in his seat just now, picked up half of the medical book and continued to read.

Sang Ling hesitated for a while, but still took Su Luo and prepared to leave the city.

Because the carriage was too big, it was parked in an alley a few meters away, and the bluestone slabs on the street were a little more uneven because of the perennial trampling, and it was not easy to walk.

This is the cultivation realm, there is no blind road that can be seen everywhere in modern times, Sang Ling gave full play to the professional ethics of the demon clan Sang to help, intimately helped the "blind demon" Su Luo, slowly stepped on those uneven streets, and moved towards the carriage.

Su Luo lowered his head and walked, and after being silent for a while, he was still a little uneasy.

"Do we really have to believe him? Mortals are not really simple and kind, if there is any trap arranged, how will you get out with me? ”

Sang Ling thought of the doctor's behavior just now, and felt that this person was either really good, or his acting skills were too good. However, the matter is nothing more than the soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, if they are really calculated, no matter how they dodge, they can't dodge, it is better to go directly.

Thinking of this, she reached out and patted Su Luo's shoulder, slapped off the wall ash he had inadvertently rubbed just now, and said with relief:

"Don't worry about this, it's really calculated. Today's dusk is beautiful, and when your eyes are healed, we will stay here for a few days to have a good look. ”

Su Luo nodded in response, and a smile appeared on his face.

When I got to the carriage, I suddenly heard one or two voices from the alley, and there was a wind blowing through the hall, which happened to bring the sound to my ears very clearlyβ€”

"Is this rumor of using gold and silver to ask for the god of the mountain true or false?"

"Where will it be fake? Not long ago, the child of a wealthy family in the north of the city was looking at the lanterns, lost the child, and immediately went to use the money to ask the mountain god for help, and the next day he saw the child come back, how is it not true? ”

"Tsk, it's really strange for us, we have always lost our children inexplicably in the past two or three years......"

The wind in the alley changed, and the gossip was no longer audible.

Sang Ling only acted as an episode, and after sending Su Luo to the carriage, he went straight out of the city.

After taking the same path into the city, and then at the next fork, turning into a small road, the road suddenly became one-third the size of the original, and then narrower and narrower, and finally it was impossible to cross at all. I had to lose the carriage and walk up the mountain.

This is mainly a plain, the so-called mountain is also several mounds connected together, behind the mound is a real mountain, dense with grass and trees, the terrain is complex, the grass they are looking for is also in this mountain, Sang Ling according to what the doctor of the medicine hall said just now, directly found a place.

At this time, it was already dark, and in the mountains and forests, and she could barely see her fingers around, so she quickly picked up a few branches to make a simple torch and inserted them in the open space beside her. Set fire to the mountain, and sit at the bottom of the prison. After laying the torch with sand around it, Sang Ling made the second one with confidence.

Su Luo, who was beside him, stood by the torch, his eyes that had been white and could only see a little light and shadow, and at this time, he could vaguely see a thin figure surrounded by a circle of orange-yellow light, right in front of him.

That's Sang Ling.

It was the first time he had seen the other party's shadow in the past few days, and although it was vague, his restless heart was suddenly soothed.

He couldn't tell what kind of mood it was, he just felt that he wished that time would slow down, slower a little more, and that it would be best to stay in this moment forever.

Sang Ling's hand flew and intertwined a few times, and he saw the prototype of the torch. I used the torch just now to lead the fire and prepare to go downhill.

He saw that the orange figure in front of him was about to move, and subconsciously followed, but was stopped by Sang Ling.

"This is a dirt slope, and there is a lot of grass underneath, I'll go down and look for it, and you can just wait for me here."

The corners of his mouth moved, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Stupid hamster, I should have protected you, but now I let you go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire for me."

Sang Ling glanced at the dirt slope that was only more than two meters long, and scratched his head, Dao Mountain? No, but in the end, she didn't refute the sensitive and fragile mind of the patient, but said casually:

"When you're ready, you will go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire for me, and stick a knife in both ribs. When the time comes, you must not forget that my great kindness will be fine today. ”

She took some things such as Mazha water from the storage bag, and placed the person in place, so that she could go down the slope with confidence.

Behind him, Su Luo's eyes were empty, but he stared at the orange light and did not move for a long time.

Sang Ling went all the way down, because there was no rain for a few days, and the soil was dry, so she quickly reached the bottom of the slope.

This is a small world on the other side, from the grass that is as tall as the calf to the thatch that is taller than a person, it is all interspersed and grows wildly.

The grass on the paper had long been imprinted in her mind, and she began to look for it little by little in the night with a torch, not wanting to find a lot of grass here in the mouth of the old doctor, but now it became like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I had no choice but to go deeper and deeper, and then I saw a few grasses under a thatch that had been torn off in half and only the roots were a little higher.

She was suddenly startled, and immediately withdrew her foot to walk over, and then crouched down on the spot and looked carefully, only to find that this half-dead grass was the hook leaf grass she was looking for.

"Why is there only half of it?"

This is the first plant, then the second plant, the third plant...... The next countless strains were the same.

After looking for Sang Ling in a circle, he believed that there should have been many herbs growing here, but he didn't know that someone had ripped them away, and only the dead branches and leaves were left to grow in other wild grasses, and there were no stems and leaves for detoxification at all.

She reluctantly threw away the torches that had been burned, covered the wet soil completely, and completely broke the spark, before she reflexively crawled back.

At this time, Su Luo was still sitting honestly on the dirt slope, the little Mazha was just the right height for her, and he couldn't put his long legs a little bit, so he could only stretch forward and half-bend, looking very innocent and wronged, a little more childish.

Sang Lingben's somewhat depressed mood improved, and she climbed up the slope in a few steps and disposed of the torches that were about to burn on the ground.

The firelight disappeared, and Su Luo's eyes suddenly turned in a hurry, but he was empty and confused, and he couldn't find the orange shadow, nor could he see Sang Ling's location.

"Stupid hamster, where are you?"

"Let's go downhill first."

A familiar force grabbed his arm, taking him away from where he had been.

It's Sang Ling.

He relaxed, feeling the strength in his arm leave again, the temperature cooling with the speed of the void, and he grabbed the hand that wanted to leave with his backhand.

"What's wrong?"

She's wondering.

He quickly said:

"It's too dark, but it's still safe."

Well? Sang Ling raised her eyebrows and looked around, there were dense weeds here, probably still in the autumn relationship, a little withered and yellow, but it did not fall down, and it seemed a little dangerous to not be able to see the road clearly in the dark sky.

She didn't withdraw her hand, and continued to slowly move to the side with Su Luo.

"Three steps to the right, this is a flat road, you can walk with confidence. There was no grass under the slope just now, so I'll send you to find a place to stay first, and I'll go to other places later. ”

Su Luo really wanted to go together, but he was poisoned like this broken grass, so he could only become the glaze that was protected, and he was placed somewhere waiting for Sang Ling's return. Thinking of this, his voice was a little low.

"Okay, if we can't find it, we'll just arrest the old man and let him find it himself."

Sang Ling grinned, but her mouth was fiercely affirmed:

"That is, you can't fool people indiscriminately! obviously said that there are a bunch here, but in fact, it has already been dug up, causing us to run in vain, but we must settle accounts with him! ”

Su Luo listened to her words of coaxing the child, but her eyebrows expanded a lot, and she was a lot less repulsive about becoming Liuli's protected status, and took the initiative to analyze:

"Since there used to be a lot of grass growing here, we can't get too far away. You still have to look for places with similar terrain, but now that it's too dark, it's better to wait until tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it overnight. ”

Sang Ling patted her head and said with annoyance:

"It's true, I was told by the doctor just now that there are a lot of them here, and it's as easy as digging for things, but I'm anxious. Listen to you, find a place to rest first. ”

She searched around, and sure enough, she found a dry cliff cave not far away. It seems to be a natural formation, with a huge cave carved out in the middle of the mountain, which is smooth and dry, but there are no wild beasts and insects.

took Su Luo to drill through a small hole that could only pass through one person, and looked in from the stone steps, only to find that the space in the cliff cave was unexpectedly large, so big that it was almost half a football field. There is also a waterfall hanging next to it, which flows on the edge of the stone steps and falls to the ground, forming a small pool, which is not large enough to draw water.

Sang Ling simply found a place to sit down, lit the torch again, and the light spread around, and then realized that something was wrong.

It seems that there were really people living here, and there are still many families.
