Chapter Thirty-Nine: Studying Medicine Can't Save Qijia Village
Tongming Valley is not very far from Yuhang Town.
Li Chu and the little divine doctor set off after lunch, and at dusk, they had already arrived at a village in front of the valley.
Walking with the little divine doctor was something that made Li Chu quite nervous.
You have to keep an eye on him all the time, for fear that when he will pull out a knife and give it to himself.
Although ordinary swords can't break their own defenses.
But what if?
He clearly remembered that he had read in some news that those who studied medicine were all masters of knives.
Originally, they planned to go into the mountains overnight to collect medicine and then hurry back, but this village attracted the attention of the two.
Because here, every family is vegetarian.
As far as the eye can see, there are forty or fifty of the eighty or ninety households in a village, wrapped in white cloths, and there are cries and sounds.
This is clearly not normal.
Li Chu looked at it with his heart, and did not see the yin qi swirling, indicating that there was no evil here.
He was a little curious, discussed with the little divine doctor, and walked into the village.
The village is very orderly, and every family has a lot of livestock and poultry, and it seems that life is not bad. There were no famine wars, and it wasn't a year of famine, so it was strange that so many people died at the same time.
"Could it be a plague?" muttered the little divine doctor.
Thinking so, I saw a house in front of me, and many people gathered in the dirt yard.
He stepped forward and shouted through the fence, "Fellow, I'm passing by Langzhong, can you come in and talk about it?"
A child here came to open the door, looked at Li Chu's outfit and the medicine box of the little divine doctor, and ran back: "Grandpa, grandpa, there is a Taoist priest and a Lang Zhong here!"
"Ahh ”
A neatly dressed old man came out of the house, followed by a large number of children and family members.
The old man looked at Li Chu, who had a calm face, and then looked at the little miracle doctor who was eager to try.
Then he stepped forward and held Li Chu's hand: "Xiaodao Chief, do you have any mana, can you help us?"
Li Chu said: "This old man, I am indeed a cultivator, what has happened to you, you can tell me about it." ”
"That's great, my daughter-in-law is going to die, you can do it!"
So saying, he led the two of them into the door.
I saw a middle-aged woman lying on the bed, her face was painful, and she was unconscious.
Li Chu observed with his mind and eye technique, only to feel that her breath was extremely weak, like a candle flame in the wind, about to be extinguished at any time, but he didn't see anything abnormal.
At this time, the little doctor coughed lightly and said, "Uncle, she may be sick." Instead of asking a Taoist priest to do it, you should ask Lang Zhong to see the illness first. ”
"Lang Zhong?" the old man raised his eyebrows: "It's useless! If it was useful to see a doctor, more than 50 people would not have died in our village!
Li Chu immediately asked, "The dead of those families in your village are all dying like this?"
"yes. The old man sighed and replied, "They all fell into a coma suddenly, and then died in less than a day." In the past two months, one day at a time, one day at a time, it is like the king of Yama ordering it. I burn incense and worship Buddha at home every day, and I don't want it to be our turn at home!"
After listening to him carefully for a long time, the two of them learned the details.
Originally, this place was called Qijia Village, and it is said that the ancestors moved from Tiannanzhou, and it was one of the Qi families in the seven families of Tiannan, and the villagers have always been proud of it.
Life here has always been good, but in the last fifty or sixty days, people in the village suddenly began to die strangely.
At first, people didn't pay attention, but after a whole month, it was one a day, no more, no less, which was too strange.
After listening to this, Li Chu was thoughtful.
Indeed, a few days may have been a coincidence. But if one person dies every day for nearly two months in a row, there must be something strange.
The little doctor rubbed his hands and said, "If it's a disease, let me see first." ”
The old man glanced at him with disgust, "Okay, be light." ”
"I know. The little doctor waved his hand, sat down on the edge of the bed, and put his two fingers on the patient's pulse.
As soon as he took the pulse, his expression instantly settled.
After a while, he withdrew his finger and came back to his senses.
"How's it going?" asked the old man, still a little nervous.
The little doctor smiled: "It's okay." ”
"Huh?" There was an uproar, some surprises, some surprises, some smiles just about to show.
I heard the little divine doctor say again: "I just took the time to calculate, and seven days later it will be the auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is appropriate to enter the earth." Although the daughter-in-law is hopeless, the day she chooses for herself is still good. ”
"Huh?"
When the old man heard this, his brain blood suddenly surged, and he wanted to pick up the broom by the door, but was reluctantly stopped by his relatives at home.
There was a commotion over there, but the little divine doctor ignored it, lowered his voice and said to Li Chu: "I just watched, her three souls are dim, her seven spirits are ethereal, and her qi and blood are declining, like she died of natural causes. It's just a little younger, but ...... If you are overworked, it is not impossible, and you don't see too much abnormality. ”
The soul is weak, and the qi and blood are exhausted......
Li Chu thought for a while, "I'll try it." ”
The little doctor was stunned: "You can also heal?"
Li Chu shook his head and said, "It's just that I've learned a small magic power of the recovery class." ”
The little divine doctor muttered: "Eighty percent is useless, your magic powers can't replace the ...... of medicine."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chu had already picked up the Little Bodhi Mantra.
Phew-
As soon as the light flashed, the whole room was suddenly filled with the light of the sun, and everyone who was covered by this light felt warm and comfortable all around.
"This is, Bodhisattva!" an old man shouted, and he fell to his knees.
Immediately, a hula group fell to their knees.
Especially the middle-aged woman who was illuminated by the little sun at close range, her face gradually became ruddy, and her breath gradually became powerful, when Li Chu put away the little Bodhi mantra, she actually opened her eyes like that!
And he threw himself over and fell to the ground, shouting, "Why am I here? Am I not in the field?"
A crowd of people rushed up, the husband called his wife, and the child called his mother, and he went to explain to her without mentioning it.
More people were led by the old man and knelt around Li Chu to worship: "Little Dao Chief, you are really a living Bodhisattva!"
Li Chu was very embarrassed by these words, and hurriedly helped them up, saying, "It's just a small magical power, it's not worth mentioning." ”
The little divine doctor also opened his mouth wide: "You call this ...... Recovery's little supernatural powers?"
"You're almost like coming back to life, okay?!"
Li Chu said indifferently: "It's just that it can temporarily help people improve their qi and blood, if you don't find the root of the disease, you still can't solve the problems in the village." ”
Where can the little divine doctor listen, he muttered and shook his head: "Studying medicine can't save Qijia Village." ”
After some tossing, it was already dark.
The grateful family intended to kill chickens and sheep, and treated Li Chu and the others warmly.
But they were in a hurry to go into the mountain to retrieve the fairy grass, so they only promised to come back and stay here to spend the night, so they went out the door.
As soon as I went out, I saw that there were fires burning everywhere on the roadside in the village. Almost every household burns paper money in a brazier.
For those family members who have funerals, it is reasonable to burn paper, but the families who have not done funerals are also burning.
That's weird.
On the side of the ancient road in the mountain village, the red fire reflects the yellow money, and the scene is indescribably weird.
Li Chu couldn't help asking, "Uncle, what are they doing here?"
"This ......" The old man's expression became a little strange, and he sighed: "Alas, they are paying tribute to the Luo family." ”
