3, the peach blossom demon is not a demon Part I
Zhimeng felt like a fool in front of the scroll for two full hours, and finally gave up and lay on the ground. It's even more tiring than having her sit at the bottom of a waterfall.
She turned her head to see the colored egg at the head of the bed, and wondered if it was her own delusion, but she always felt that it was bigger than yesterday. Zhimeng fed the spirit egg a drop of her own blood according to what the master said, maybe she was really tired today, and before she knew it, Zhimeng hugged the spirit egg and fell asleep.
It happened that Xiaobai came back from patrolling the mountain and passed by Zhimeng's room, and saw Zhimeng lying on the ground sleeping on all fours, her saliva was wet, and she couldn't help but look disgusted. Xiao Bai's eyes rolled, and his two small sharp tiger teeth were revealed evilly.
Zhimeng only felt an itch on her face, and she couldn't hold back a sneeze and sat up. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw Xiaobai sitting in front of the door not far from her, with an egg in her mouth.
Zhimeng only felt that this egg was a little familiar. Before she could react, she saw that Xiao Bai was already running out with the spirit egg in her mouth.
Zhimeng stood up and ran out after Xiaobai. This is a spirit egg given by the master, if anything goes wrong, how can she explain it to the master. Zhimeng's mind suddenly flashed the master's serious and expressionless face, and she trembled all over, and her steps sped up a little.
"Xiaobai, don't make trouble, return the spirit egg to me!"
Zhimeng chased Xiaobai and entered the peach blossom forest all the way. There are many forks in the peach blossom forest, and after only walking for a while, Zhimeng can't tell the direction.
I saw the sun set, and the afterglow of the sun reflected the whole forest into a tender pink, which was particularly beautiful. Zhimeng chased after it breathlessly, thinking that this stinky little white, usually looking for it to play, it loves to ignore it, but now it is all naughty here. I simply didn't chase it, so I sat on the ground and cried.
Xiaobai turned his head and tilted his head to look at Zhimeng, with an apologetic look in his eyes. Zhimeng saw that this trick worked, so she cried even harder.
Xiaobai saw that the little person in front of him was really sad, so he hurriedly ran forward to comfort her. But a black thing suddenly flashed in front of it, and before it could see it clearly, the spirit egg in its mouth had already stood opposite it along with the black object. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a little peach blossom demon here.
"Greyhound, don't be greedy, be careful that I sue your master. ”
Xiaobai looked at the little peach blossom demon, snorted twice unhappily, and then jumped and disappeared.
Before Zhimeng could react, she wiped away her tears and looked at the little boy in front of her who was about the same age as her, with a big question mark written on his face.
"Little brother, who are you?"
"I'm not a little brother, I'm a little girl better than you. The Peach Blossom Demon looked at Zhimeng not very happily and handed her the spirit egg in his hand. "My name is Tao Qing, and I am a peach blossom demon in this peach blossom forest. This spirit egg is very precious, don't play with it with the lion. ”
"Thank you!" Zhimeng holds the spirit egg. It turned out that he was the peach blossom demon that the master had told her about. But he looks no different from an ordinary little boy with beautiful eyebrows, but he is very old-fashioned when he speaks, and he calls himself a little girl, which makes Zhimeng want to laugh inexplicably.
"You're sick. Taoqing looked at Zhimeng and couldn't help but say such a sentence.
"Sick, me?"
"Well, but I can't save you, but you won't die for the time being, so don't worry. ”
Forehead...... Is he really a peach blossom demon who is proficient in medicine? How does this sound a bit of a quack doctor, Zhi Meng was speechless.
"Then Qing'er, what's wrong with me?" I didn't feel any discomfort.
"Stupid, I don't even know if I'm sick. ”
Forehead...... He was serious, as if what he said was very reasonable, and Zhimeng was speechless again. At this time, it was already half dark, so Zhimeng thought about going back early so as not to worry the master. But a small hand grabbed the hem of Zhimeng's skirt.
"Qing'er can find a way to save you, but can you help save Qing'er's grandfather?" Taoqing looked at Zhimeng, her eyes full of anticipation.
Two days ago, there was a strong wind in the mountains, which was not a big deal, but the elderly grandfather couldn't help the destruction of the wind, and the roots of the trees were blown up by the roots. I thought that my grandfather was in danger this time and couldn't support it for much time, but today I unexpectedly saw Zhimeng passing through the peach blossom forest.
"Save grandpa?" Zhimeng only felt that the style of painting changed in an instant, and looked at Tao Qing in confusion, how could he save the illness that the peach blossom demon couldn't cure.
The next afternoon. Zhimeng followed Taoqing through the peach blossom forest in a daze and came to the deepest part of the forest.
This is a cave, and the cold in the cave is pressing, and Zhimeng shiveres from the cold, and even has no feeling for her toes.
At the very back of the cave is a pool and a stone bed in the middle of the pool, as if it were floating. The temperature in the cave was so low, but the water in the pool magically did not freeze, but was steaming. Zhimeng naturally leaned closer to the hot water, and then her whole body stretched out again.
An old man was lying on the stone bed, his face haggard and dying. Zhimeng trembled when she saw the old man, and wondered if she could tell the master to solve this matter better.
The Peach Blossom Demon was born to see the seven meridians and eight veins of a person, but Zhimeng's seven meridians and eight veins flashed with a soft light, which Tao Qing had never seen in his life. To explain in the simplest way, Zhimeng is a living ginseng tree in Taoqing's eyes, and she can save her grandfather.
Of course, Tao Qing would never tell Zhimeng that in their eyes she was a living ginseng. It must not be known to anyone who cares, and it will cause harm to Zhimeng.
"Please save my grandfather. Tao Qing suddenly knelt on the ground in the face of Zhimeng, and the dozens of little peach blossom demons who followed behind also knelt on the ground and said in unison.
Zhimeng looked at the peach blossom demons in front of her helplessly, and anxious tears were rolling in her eyes.
"Zhimeng, please give my grandfather a few drops of blood. The little peach blossom demon who followed behind Tao Qing was the first to speak.
"Blood?" exclaimed Zhimeng.
"You have a special bloodline, and your blood is the medicine primer that saved my grandfather. Today, you saved my grandfather's great kindness, and I will repay it with my life. ”
"But everyone says that my blood is poisonous and kills. Besides, how can blood save people? ”
"To mortals, it may indeed be a deadly poison, but to us, it is a rare primer for medicine. ”
Zhimeng heard her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out. She looked at the expectant eyes of the peach blossom demons, and she couldn't bear to refuse. It's not that she doesn't believe in the Peach Blossom Demon, since they say so, they must be sure. But using blood to save people, this is the first time she has heard of it.
Zhimeng looked at Taoqing, always hesitant in her heart. With a slight tremble, she reached out and dripped the blood into a round container filled with herb juice as Momoaki had instructed. Tao Qing took out a glowing branch from his pocket, stirred it in the container, and then sat in front of the container with a few peach blossom demons, and began to work against the container.
Something sporadically rose from the container, and in a few moments the entire cave was illuminated. Zhimeng looked at the scene in front of her with some fascination, the light emitted from the container became more and more dazzling, and after a while, the liquid magically gathered into a ball and flew away from the container, slowly flying towards the mouth of the grandfather in the middle of the water.
Taoqing got up and hurriedly stepped forward to check his grandfather's pulse, and after a while, he saw that the pulse was stable and relieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and made a reassuring gesture to the surrounding peach blossom demons.
Looking at the cheers of the peach blossom demons, Zhimeng's heart at the mention of her voice was also relaxed, which was much easier than she imagined to save people. But as soon as she raised her feet and was about to go to see Grandpa Peach Blossom Demon, she suddenly felt dizzy in front of her, and there were some scenes she had never seen before.
The girl in front of her seems to be her, but strangely, it seems to be what she looks like when she grows up. The man in front of him was dressed in white Shengxue, with long black hair, but he was lying in his arms dying, and she was cutting her wrist with her fingers, letting the blood keep dripping into the man's mouth, and the scene was even more messy. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly. The more I tried to see it, the more my head hurt.
"Zhimeng, Zhimeng......" Tao Qing saw that Zhimeng's face was full of pain, and her head was still sweating, but her pulse was very normal, and she instantly wondered if it was the reason for the lost half-soul, so she couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly put her hand on her head, using the nature of the peach blossom demon to calm down the chaotic internal calm in her body.
Zhimeng heard someone call her, and the cool breath in her brain slowly spread through her body like a spring water, and the image in front of her gradually disappeared, and her normal vision was restored, and her head gradually became less painful.
"Thank you, Qing'er. "I don't know what's wrong, since I was a child, there have always been some unfamiliar scenes in my mind, very familiar, but very vague, Zhimeng is coarse and strange, and I don't want to think of things that I can't figure out. She looked up and saw Taoqing's anxious expression, and her heart suddenly warmed.
Tao Qing saw that Zhimeng was fine, so she took the whole clan to thank Zhimeng. He reluctantly glanced at his grandfather, who told him when he was very young that he was destined to be inextricably linked with a person in this world, who was different from ordinary people, a human being with an incomplete soul.
Zhimeng looked at the sachet in front of her, although she was a little weak and inexplicable, obviously she didn't do anything to get the peach blossom demon, but she was still full of joy, she jumped and ran home, and wanted to tell the master the good news.
The master once said that the Peach Blossom Demon is one of the most difficult goblins to tame, and they are kind but do not like to get along with people. If you can get a peach blossom demon, it means that this person's blessings are profound.
And now, she got a peach blossom demon. Although she hasn't figured out the ins and outs of the matter yet, if the master knows about it, he will definitely be happy for her.
"Master!"
In the distance, Jiechen heard Zhimeng's call. Today, Heavenly Court came to report and asked him to fulfill the five-hundred-year covenant and go to the peach banquet next month on time. His frown eased slightly when he saw the running figure in the distance.
The running figure was slightly different from the previous two days, and Jiechen immediately noticed the extra sachet on Zhimeng's waist.
"Master, this, this is the peach blossom demon Taoqing. Zhi Meng breathlessly picked up the sachet in her hand and shook it in front of Jiechen.
"Peach Blossom Demon?" the corners of Juechen's eyes lifted slightly, and he looked at the sachet again.
Jiechen knew that Zhimeng's origin was not simple, but he didn't expect her fortune to be so deep, and after only a few days of coming, he got a peach blossom demon. If these old men in the heavenly realm knew about this, the beards that were still angry would have fallen out.
"I saved his grandfather, so he said he was willing to stay with me. Zhimeng said with a little weakness, and her voice was a little quiet.
"You just studied medicine, how did you save that old peach blossom demon?" Jue Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Zhi Meng.
"Qing'er asked for a drop of my blood, saying that my blood was strange and could be used as medicine. Zhimeng stretched out her wrapped finger to Jiechen.
It's clear. People who can grow hearts should have different blood from ordinary people.
"Master, how can you say such a strange thing. When I was a child, I knew that my blood was different from ordinary people, and I could bloom flowers, but I just thought about not harming people, but I didn't expect to be able to save people...... But Meng'er didn't want to be so different. Zhimeng didn't have any joy when she said it, remembering that she was beaten by the children in the village before, and she felt aggrieved in her heart.
Jiechen raised his eyebrows, looking at the lost Zhimeng, even his eyes became dim, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. "The scroll that the master gave you, you might open it today?"
When Zhi Meng heard this, she chuckled in her heart, what was different and what the ghost blood peach blossom demon was all left behind, and she lowered her head and stuck out her tongue.
"No, master. ”
"You take out the scroll and try again. ”
Hearing this, Zhimeng obediently took out the scroll from her arms, put it in front of her, concentrated her energy, and took a deep breath.
It's also strange to say, Zhimeng felt that today's internal breath was extraordinarily smooth, up and down her body, extending in all directions, and only felt an inexplicable feeling of coolness gathered on her fingertips pointing to the scroll.
Suddenly, the scroll rose into the air, emitting a soft shimmer, but forced Zhimeng to close her eyes. In an instant, lines of words flashing white appeared in front of me one after another, the words were clear, and they were all about some medicine.
Zhimeng looked at the words that kept jumping in front of her, and her heart was extremely happy. This book is very magical, and if Zhimeng thinks about any illness or symptom in her mind, it will show the relevant content. Think about it, the master knows that she loves medicine, and the master cares about her all the time and thinks about her. In an instant, Zhimeng's heart was sweet and warm.
Zhimeng took a deep breath, slowly dissipated the breath gathered in her fingertips, opened her eyes, everything returned to normal, and the scroll fell quietly in Zhimeng's hand.
"Master, master, Meng'er has succeeded!" Zhimeng danced twice with the scroll. It's strange to say, I didn't feel it at all before.
Juechen nodded slightly. I thought that the Peach Blossom Demon really lived up to its name, and it could help people regulate their internal strength to such a situation. Although Zhimeng was born with fairy bones, it would take at least two or three months to do this. He just wanted Zhimeng to try to see if there was any progress, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, she would be able to open this scroll, which really shocked Jiechen's heart.
"In the past few days, you continue to cultivate for these two days, and next month the Heavenly Court will hold a peach conference, if you behave well, I will take you there. ”
Jiechen lightly tapped Zhimeng's forehead, but his words unconsciously revealed doting, such a smart, talented, and lovely child did unconsciously let him like it.
Zhimeng only felt that the place on her forehead that was touched by the master suddenly became hot, and her whole little face turned red unconsciously.
This is a place that Zhimeng had never even dreamed of before, she blinked curiously, and nodded vigorously obediently. "Meng'er must not embarrass the master!"
