One hundred and seventy-nine, return to the night soul grass
Chang Long breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Master Wang Xue, I beg you for something." Wang Xue said: "Good apprentice, just say it." Chang Long raised his hand slightly, pointed to the green sword that was broken in two, and said, "Please help me bury it." Wang Xue said: "The sword of heroes should be buried as a good life." "Walk into the forest behind you, grab the soil into a pit, and put the green sword into the pit.
Wang Yingying suddenly said: "Aunt Wang Xue slow down!" Wang Xue asked, "What?" Wang Yingying ran to Wang Xue's side and said, "This sword saved my life, let me come." After speaking, he knelt on the ground, picked up a handful of soil and buried the green sword, and made three respectful gestures.
Chang Long saw that Qingjian was buried, and said: "After I die, please bury me next to Qingjian, and don't let my parents know about it for the time being." Chang Long's vitality was greatly damaged, and he was already angry when he said this. Wang Xue said angrily: "This, can't do it!" Chang Long said in a hoarse voice: "Master and apprentice, does Master Wang Xue want to watch me expose my corpse in the wilderness?" Wang Xue said: "Who said that you will die, a manly husband, if you suffer such a small injury, you will have to die or live, how can you be the queen of Zhongliang?" In fact, Wang Xue didn't know if Chang Long was loyal or not, and this sentence was just said casually. Chang Long sighed silently. Wang Xue said again: "Didn't Hu Xiaochen go up the mountain to look for herbs? Although your master and I are not some miracle doctors, we are also proficient in medicine and healing, and when Hu Xiaochen comes back from collecting medicine, I will give you medicine to heal your injuries, and ensure that you will recover quickly." Although Wang Xue said so, Wang Xue had not yet observed Chang Long's injury, and he didn't know if he could cure him, but in order to make Chang Long feel relieved, he could only say something good and obedient. Zhao Xiaocao still held Chang Long in his arms, and when he saw that Wang Xue said this, there was no joy on his face, knowing that Wang Xue was just casually perfunctory, he couldn't help but sigh. Wang Xue shouted: "Sigh, I said he can't die!"
As soon as Wang Xue's words fell, she heard Hu Xiaochen's voice on the mountain shouting: "It's not good, it's dead, it's not good, it's dead!" Wang Xue said angrily: "What are you dying, you've been going for so long, have you found any herbs?" Lin Tikun and Barda glanced at each other, and they both thought in their hearts: "When did this little woman practice such a profound internal skill?" Hu Xiaochen rushed down the mountain and shouted urgently: "Oh no, Master, there are no herbs." Wang Xue said angrily: "Why is this, is it possible that the mountain is bald?" Hu Xiaochen said: "The mountain is not bald, but now it is late autumn, it is almost winter, and it has long passed the season of collecting medicine, I have been looking for a long time, but I really can't find half a herb!" Hu Xiaochen was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't breathe, this sentence was obviously not fake. Wang Xue is quite pharmacological, and naturally knows that the season for collecting medicine has passed, but she followed Li Hao, Bu Ziyi studied medicine in the Bozi Mountain in the north of the Yangtze River, and the Fujian Yiwei Mountain here is in the south of the Yangtze River, the winter in the north of the Yangtze River comes late, sometimes you have to wait until January of the following year to see the snow, some of the early autumn plants and trees can still be picked on the Bozi Mountain in winter, because of this, Wang Xue is lucky, counting on Hu Xiaochen to find herbs in the mountains, and the winter in Fujian comes early, before the early winter Yiwei Mountain has shown a depression, even a green grass is difficult to find, let alone the herbs for curing diseases.
Zhao Xiaocao saw that Chang Long was seriously injured and dying and there was no cure, she was already crying, and at this time she was even more anxious, shouting: "There is no medicinal herb shop within a radius of dozens of miles, how is this good, Master, we can't watch Chang Long die!" Zhao Xiaocao cried, Wang Yingying cried at night, and choked up: "Brother Changlong, don't die, I will never go against you again, please don't die!" Hu Xiaochen saw Zhao Xiaocao and Wang Yingying crying sadly, his eyes were also red, he lay beside Chang Long and shook his hand gently.
Wang Xue pursed her lips and quietly glared at Hu Xiaochen and Zhao Xiaocao, thinking: "Even if Chang Long is seriously injured, he may not die, but you ignorant little urchins are crying endlessly beside him, and if he doesn't die, he will be told to die by you." ”
Lin Tikun said: "It's not a way for us to stay here stupidly in the middle of the night, go back to the residence first to let Chang Long recuperate, and then think about it slowly." Wang Xue asked for the token back from Hu Xiaochen's hand, went to the forest and cut a little vine and branch to tie it into a wooden frame, helped Chang Long up, and let Hu Xiaochen and Barda carry him up the mountain.
When everyone went to the mountain, they helped Chang Long to rest on the kang. Chang Long was completely unconscious at this time, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed. Wang Xue sat next to Chang Long, grabbed Chang Long's arm to build Chang Long's pulse, only to feel that Chang Long's vitality was greatly injured, and the pulse was so weak that it was almost impossible to touch, even if it was lucky, most of them would become living dead. Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen hurriedly called two pheasants and boiled them into chicken soup for Chang Long to take, hoping that the chicken soup would make up for it and pull Chang Long back from the ghost gate, but Chang Long couldn't open his mouth when he was unconscious, and it took a lot of effort for the two to reluctantly feed Chang Long a bowl. Wang Xue brought out the internal strength of blood circulation and blood stasis in the Haba operation, and massaged on the big acupoints around Chang Long's body, but Chang Long was still unconscious.
Lin Tikun sighed: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, everything cannot be forced, I think Chang Long, this kid is also destined for this catastrophe, don't be too sad." Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about, Chang Long will not die!"
Hu Xiaochen sat aside, thought for a while, and suddenly got up and shouted, "You have an idea!" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What idea?" Hu Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "This...... This, I still don't say it......" Zhao Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Don't say that I killed you to give Chang Long a funeral!" Barda roared loudly: "When are you still selling Guanzi?" Hu Xiaochen said: "It's not that I sell Guanzi, it's just that it's not a good idea, and it's useless to say it." Wang Xue finished massaging on the big acupoint behind Chang Long, and wanted to continue to massage the acupuncture points on the top of his head, but Chang Long's head broke a large wound and could not be massaged, Wang Xue was hesitant, and heard Hu Xiaochen say this, so he said: "Xiaochen, whether it's a bad idea or a good idea, you can say it and listen to it, let's treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”
Hu Xiaochen said: "When I was a child, I heard the adults in the village say that there is an artifact herb in the deep mountains and old forests, called Guiye Soul Grass, it is said that this medicine is ten times better than ginseng and deer antler velvet, these high-grade supplements, we went up the mountain to pick it, decocted it into a potion for Chang Long to take, it will definitely make him come back to life." Wang Xue said: "But now that the picking season has passed, where are the plants and trees on the mountain that can be used?" Hu Xiaochen said: "This can rest assured, the night soul grass is evergreen all year round, cattle and sheep do not eat, no matter what season it is on the mountain, you can see it." Wang Xue said: "This is very good, without further ado, I will go up the mountain to collect medicine, Xiaochen, you quickly go and get a pen and paper, and show me this What is the Night Soul Grass." Hu Xiaochen spread out his hands and said: "The Returning Night Soul Grass is a herb passed down from generation to generation in the village, but it is only passed down from generation to generation, and even the old man who has been collecting medicine on the mountain all his life has never seen it, where can I see it?" The implication is that the Returning Night Soul Grass is just a legend, and it is still inconclusive whether there is such a fairy grass in the world, and it is a bit ridiculous to block Chang Long's life on the legend. Zhao Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Whether it is a legend or not, we have to go up the mountain to take a look, maybe there is really fairy grass on the mountain that can save Chang Long's life? Wang Xue said: "If there is really an elixir that resurrects the dead, then the villagers will definitely go up the mountain to find it, but the people in the village are only word of mouth, no one really went up the mountain to look for it, and no one has seen it with their own eyes. Hu Xiaochen said: "This sentence may not be. First, the effect of the night soul herb to raise qi and replenish blood is too strong, it is for the dying people to catch their lives, if the healthy people eat, they must not shed a lifetime of nosebleeds, the villagers are good and dignified, who is full of food will think of going up the mountain to find; second, there are rumors that there is a monster that guards the night soul grass all the year round, and no mortals are allowed to pick it, and no one in the village dares to go to the deep mountains and old forests without their lives. Zhao Xiaocao was startled and said, "There are monsters!" Hu Xiaochen said: "If the rumors are true, then there must be monsters guarding the Night Soul Grass, if the rumors are wrong, then there will be no Soul Grass in Yiwei Mountain, and we don't have to go up the mountain." ”
Wang Xue saw that Chang Long was unconscious, and he had to be a panacea to save him, so he said: "Regardless of whether Yi Weishan has returned to the Night Soul Grass or not, let's go up the mountain and take a look." It's just that we are gone, I don't know how many days it will take to come back, Chang Long faints on the kang and needs to be taken care of. After saying this, Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen turned around and looked at Lin Tikun and Barda, Wang Xue's martial arts are the highest here, Chang Long is her disciple, she wants to go up the mountain to collect medicine, Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen are the villagers of Yiwei Mountain, the two are familiar with the mountain road, and they have to follow up the mountain together to take care of Chang Long's affairs, so they can only be handed over to Lin Tikun and Barda. But although Lin Tikun and Barda are majestic on weekdays, and they don't frown when the knife is on their necks, but it would be difficult for the two of them to take care of Chang Long, both of them are rough people who wander the world, they can only use force to fight, and they can't even take care of themselves in normal times, so where will they take care of others? Lin Tikun blushed and said: " This, this, this, it's not that my brothers are lazy and don't want to help, it's just that we, we really don't know how to serve others, or I'll accompany you up the mountain, if you really bump into some vicious monster, let it eat me, my surname Lin will not say a word. Wang Xue knew that Lin Tikun was careless, and Barda was even more clumsy, so he asked the two of them to take care of Chang Long, Chang Long was afraid that he would die earlier, and said: "The bandits of the Black Spirit Gang are going to go down the mountain to rob and kill people at any time, you two should go down the mountain to protect the villagers, Chang Long's matter, I will find another way." Lin Tikun and Balda had a martial arts, but they couldn't help much, the two of them felt ashamed, and felt shameless to stay here, so they turned around and went down the mountain.
Wang Xue sent Ba and Lin away, and was about to let Zhao Xiaocao stay and take care of Chang Long, when she suddenly heard a crisp voice at the door say, "Chang Long will be handed over to me to take care of." I saw a little girl walking out from behind the door, it was Wang Yingying. It turned out that Wang Xue had set up a wooden frame in the forest and carried Chang Long up the mountain with everyone, Wang Yingying didn't dare to go home, and she didn't know where to go, so she followed behind Wang Xue, Wang Xue and others were all on Chang Long, no one noticed Wang Yingying, until Wang Yingying hid behind the door and heard that Wang Xue needed someone to take care of Chang Long, so she hurriedly walked out. Wang Xue was overjoyed and said, "You little girl is really timely rain." You're here to help us take care of Changlong, and we'll be back as soon as possible." Wang Yingying said awe-inspiringly: "Even if Master Wang Xue goes, Chang Long saved my life, and I will take care of him no matter what." She usually calls Wang Xue aunt, but on weekdays, she always hears Chang Long call "Master Wang Xue" one by one, and then she casually called out. After Wang Yingying finished speaking, she immediately thought that she had lost her mouth, but since the word "master" had been called, it was not good to change her mouth and call her aunt back, so she couldn't help blushing and lowering her head. Wang Xue smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and stroked Wang Yingying's forehead, and said, "Good boy, you are not wrong, don't be embarrassed, if Auntie can come back alive this time, she will definitely accept you as a little playgirl." ”
At this time, the sky was already dark, Wang Xue took the token, carried a few cold steamed buns as breakfast, took Hu Xiaochen and Zhao Xiaocao up the mountain, and ate while walking. Although Hu Xiaochen has played in the mountains since he was a child, even the woodcutter who has been chopping firewood all his life in the depths of the mountains and forests does not dare to walk in easily, and Hu Xiaochen has never stepped into it, so he cannot show Wang Xue the way. In fact, it is not yet winter, but the weather in Fujian is cold early, and the trees on Yiwei Mountain are withering, and the grass is withering, a desolate and terrible scene. Zhao Xiaocao couldn't help but be a little timid, trembling all over, and didn't know if it was because of the cold climate or the fear in his heart, he suddenly thought: "Although Master Wang Xue's martial arts are high, but after all, he is a woman, Hu Xiaochen is smart and decisive, after all, he is not an adult, if there are really any monsters and beasts on this mountain, then we can count it out." But he didn't dare to say this thought, so as not to make Wang Xue and Hu Xiaochen more afraid. Wang Xue didn't know what Zhao Xiaocao was thinking, but when she saw Zhao Xiaocao looking left and right and cowering, she knew that she was scared in her heart, and comforted her: "When Master was so old with you, he also walked through the deep mountains and dense forests once. Twenty years ago, I passed through Yaojia Village on my way back to my hometown, and learned that there was a group of crazy demons in Yaojia Village who specialized in sucking human blood, and that the demons lived in the deep mountains and forests of Yaojia Village during the day, and went to the village at night to catch people and suck blood. Zhao Xiaocao couldn't imagine that there would be monsters in the world that suck human blood, and when she heard it, she felt even more frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you must have been scared at that time?" Wang Xue said: "It stands to reason that I am a little girl from a foreign country, facing such a large group of inhuman evil ghosts, I should be afraid, but to be honest, I am not afraid at all, and I myself can't tell why, I only think that I am born to be a bold person." But then I figured out that we spend our days on the rivers and lakes fighting and killing all day long, in order to protect our family and friends around us, if we give up, our family and friends will suffer, there is no way, there are some things you don't have to do if you're not afraid, you have to do it if you're afraid. I wasn't scared at the time, it must have been the strength in my heart that supported me. Zhao Xiaocao didn't seem to understand it, but his sense of timidity was also eliminated a lot.
In the deep mountains, there are no traces of people, there are branches and weeds and vines everywhere, Wang Xue danced the token with both hands to open the way in front, cutting off all the grass and trees that blocked the way, Rao is Wang Xue's token is sharp, and it is extremely difficult for the three of them to walk in the dense forest. After walking for more than two hours, the three of them were still spinning in the deep forest, Yiwei Mountain did not climb the peak, it didn't seem that the mountain was deep, but in fact, it was nearly a hundred miles in radius, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, Wang Xue, Zhao Xiaocao, and Hu Xiaochen only knew that they were still in the mountains at the moment, but they didn't know in what direction, and the Night Soul Grass, which no one had ever seen, didn't even see the slightest shadow. The three of them were worried in their hearts, but they were afraid that there was no such thing as the Night Soul Grass in the world, and they delayed time in the forest in vain, and missed the time for Chang Long's treatment, but they had traveled so many distances, and it was not appropriate to turn around and go back.
Zhao Xiaocao sat down under a big tree and said sadly: "I'm not leaving, I really can't walk." With Wang Xue's internal strength, she has walked in the mountains for a long time, and she feels that her feet are sore, Zhao Xiaocao's internal strength is low, and she is a child, so she should have been unable to support it a long time ago, she stayed up until this moment before sitting down, which is already very resolute. Hu Xiaochen sat down next to Zhao Xiaocao and said, "Master, let's take a break before leaving." ”
Although Wang Xue also felt tired, but Chang Long's life was in danger, she really couldn't rest assured, and suddenly saw a mountain peak not far behind her, although the peak was only a few years high, it was also the highest peak in Yiwei Mountain, thought about it, and said: "You guys rest here and wait for me, I will climb to the top of the peak and take a look at the surrounding terrain." Hu Xiaochen saw that the peak was steep, and there was almost no place to stay from the bottom of the peak, if he stumbled and chased down, it would be extremely dangerous, so he hurriedly got up to stop Wang Xue and said: "Master, it's better for me to go, although my martial arts are not as good as yours, but I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and my ability to climb the mountain is better than yours." Wang Xue was willing to let the child take risks for herself, and said: "I have a high level of skill, and I won't be seriously injured if I fall, don't fight with me, let me go." Today, let you see the wisdom and light skills of the teacher. Wang Xue took out the internal strength of Wangjiaquan and ran towards the peak, her internal strength was exquisite, her steps were light, and she had run to the bottom of the peak in the blink of an eye. Hu Xiaochen and Zhao Xiaocao were afraid that Wang Xue would make a mistake, so they couldn't sit still, so they got up and walked a few steps closer. Zhao Xiaocao wanted to shout Wang Xue to be careful, but her lips moved, and she finally held back, for fear that her shouting would distract Wang Xue and increase the danger. I saw Wang Xue using both hands and feet, and in a moment he rushed to the peak halfway through, and grabbed a small vine hanging down from the peak with his left hand. Climbing so far, Wang Xue's right hand and feet are no longer difficult to borrow, and she can't go up and down at the mountainside. Hu Xiaochen shouted, "Master jump down, I'll catch you." Hurriedly ran towards Wang Xue. Wang Xue said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's hard to find me in a small peak!" The token was hard and sharp, embedded in the cracks in the stone. Wang Xue was lucky with his left hand, his body rushed upward, his right foot stepped on the token, and he jumped up, his hands were able to reach the edge of the cliff at the peak, and his arms climbed to the top of the peak with a single effort.
Hu Xiaochen and Zhao Xiaocao saw that Wang Xue climbed to the top of the mountain without much physical strength, and they were overjoyed. Zhao Xiaocao clapped his hands and shouted to Hu Xiaochen: "If you don't say that someone is a master, you are a disciple, if it is you, most of you will fall down and become disabled at this time, even if you find the Night Soul Grass that I don't know if there is, you have to take it first." Hu Xiaochen pouted and said: "It's a shame that you are still a senior sister, and your words are hurtful." Zhao Xiaocao laughed, reached out and touched Hu Xiaochen's forehead, and said, "Ah, is my senior brother angry?" Hu Xiaochen frowned and said: "No, my big man is not angry with your little woman." Zhao Xiaocao grinned and said, "Okay, okay, senior sister apologizes, I won't hurt you." ”
Zhao Xiaocao was laughing to herself, when she suddenly saw a long vine hanging down from the peak. Wang Xue stood on the top of the peak, beckoned to Zhao Xiaocao, and shouted: "You grab the vines, I'll pull you up! This mountain peak is very big, most of the Night Soul Grass is here, you come and take a look!"
