The Wutai faction is located at the top of the North Terrace, also known as Yedoufeng, which is the highest peak of the Wutai Mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The reason why the top of the North Terrace is called Ye Dou Peak is because its peak is connected to the handle of the Big Dipper. On the way, Ling'er met a young disciple of the Wutai Sect, and while enthusiastically leading the way for Ling'er, he introduced Ling'er endlessly.

Along the way, Ling'er had a deeper understanding of the top of the North Terrace.

At noon, Ling'er arrived at the top of the North Terrace and met her friend Mu Qingping. Mu Qingping is the daughter of Mu Zhixuan, a lay disciple of the Wutai School.

"They're already gone?" Ling'er was shocked.

"Yes, my master Master Wuchen and a few senior brothers went down the mountain early this morning. Mu Qingping said.

Ling'er pinched her count in frustration, today happened to be the day to set off, so she could only be blamed for being late.

"Ling'er, you have never been to Wutai Mountain, let me take you to visit it in the past few days! Don't you particularly like spring water? We have Baishui Pond in the southeast of Beitai Mountain, Jinsha Spring in the south, and the Nine Girls Spring in the back seven miles!" Mu Qingping said enthusiastically.

Ling'er looked at her friend and shook her head, and said sullenly, "Sister Ping, I really want to go to Luoyang." ”

Mu Qingping took her hand and persuaded: "Ling'er, it's been some time since they left, even if you catch up now, you may not be able to catch up." ”

"yes! I didn't think of it! I started all the way down the mountain, and maybe I could catch up with them. After Ling'er finished speaking, she was about to set off.

"Ling'er, why don't you finish your lunch and leave!" Mu Qingping said.

"No, I've got dry food with me. With that, Ling'er said goodbye to her friend.

"How is this good?" Halfway up the mountain, Ling'er looked at the three paths down the mountain in front of him in confusion. She remembered one of the ways she had just taken to go up the mountain, while the other two were to the west and the other to the south.

"Luoyang is in the south, and it must be this south-facing mountain road. Ling'er hurriedly made her choice.

After running all the way, Ling'er stopped in a clearing to rest for a while, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, and inadvertently found that there was a gate on one side of the clearing, and the wooden sign on the door read "Nine Women's Spring".

After passing the Nine Female Spring, the mountain road suddenly became steep, and Ling'er had to slow down. Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, there are many people who come and go, which is very different from the previous rarely inhabited mountain road.

These must be the people who live at the foot of the mountain, they are in a hurry and look panicked, but they do not look like good men and women who want to go up to the mountain to worship God. Ling'er thought to herself. She also noticed that many of them were holding water tanks, while others were carrying gourds. Curiosity is curiosity, Ling'er didn't have time to delay, she left the hurried crowd all the way.

"What kind of place is this?" Ling'er finally reached the foot of the mountain, and there was no expected avenue in front of her, not even a smooth path. She looked at the potholed paths that could barely be called roads, and gradually realized a cruel truth: she was on the wrong path.

"It's impossible to catch up with the Wutai faction, and if you want to go to Luoyang, you can only rely on yourself now. Ling'er patted her bag and cheered herself up, "I can definitely do it!"

As far as the eye can see, there are small villages along the way. In this rural place, how can there be any martial arts characters, and Ling'er's sense of loss is even greater.

Soon, however, this loss dissipated, and Ling'er reveled in the rustic countryside.

Ling'er shuttled through the unknown village, smelling the smell of the villagers' cooking fires, basking in the early summer sun, watching the dogs sleeping lazily in front of the farmhouse, and several village women sitting at the entrance of the village chatting about the sky and being a female celebrity.

Walking through village after village, although it is not the martial arts that Ling'er yearns for, it is the nature she loves.

Outside the village is a stretch of farmland. White clouds flutter in the sky with gold edges, old farmers work in the fields with sweat, and tender yellow flowers are scattered all over the loofah fields. The farmland at dusk and the smoke curling in the distance give travelers a sense of serenity and tranquility.

Ling'er grabbed the bag on her shoulder, looked at the scenery in front of her, and was a little reluctant to leave.

After sunset, villages change their grey tones.

Relying on the guidance of the lights in the farmhouse, Ling'er found the next village where she would stay.

Unlike the villages in front of you, this one is unusually noisy and chaotic. Although it was getting dark, the villagers were running around in a panic, and the cries of children were disturbing. Dried leaves and rotting peels were scattered on the ground, the firewood beside the house was gone, the firewood lay on the ground, and the farming implements were left to the side. Everything seemed disorganized, as if something major had happened.

Ling'er wanted to find a villager to inquire, but how could the anxious people stop their hurried pace? Ling'er had no choice but to carry a sword and go into the village to inspect.

A teenager sat on a boulder on the side of the road, staring blankly at the village.

Ling'er hurriedly stepped forward to inquire with him. From the young man's mouth, Ling'er learned that this was Liujia Village.

"It wasn't like that before. "A little more than a month ago, someone in the village got sick, and then more and more people got sick, and my father said it was a plague. ”

"Plague?" Ling'er was startled and hurriedly asked, "Have you invited a doctor to come and see you?"

"The doctors from near and far have heard that it is a plague, and it is too late to hide!" said the young man sadly.

"I'll tell you the truth, my sister is a doctor, can you take me to have a look?" Ling'er said.

"Really?" the young man hurriedly took Ling'er to a relative's house.

"How many people in the village are sick?" asked Ling'er as she walked.

The boy replied, "As long as a few families are okay, my father and mother and I will be fine." ”

"I'm afraid it's not a plague. Ling'er thought to herself.

When I walked into a farmhouse, I saw that in the dim light, three members of the family were lying on the bed, dying.

"Uncle, aunt, the doctor is here!" the boy shouted excitedly.

As soon as Ling'er saw the patient's face, she knew that it was not a plague, but that they had been poisoned.

After careful diagnosis, Ling'er knew that one of them was a poison called "Remnant Grass".

This little poison couldn't bother Ling'er at all, so she quickly prescribed a prescription and handed it to the young man.

"The strange thing is that it's been a long time since the poisoning, why hasn't the toxin invaded your body yet?" Ling'er said to the young uncle.

The middle-aged man replied weakly: "Girl, I don't know, since we got sick, we have been drinking the water of the Nine Girls Spring on Wutai Mountain, so our condition has not deteriorated. ”

"Nine Female Spring?" Ling'er remembered that there were indeed several kinds of rock spring water recorded in the medical books, because its spring source was far away and cold, and the mountain where it was located had precious medicinal materials, which could maintain health and cure diseases, and if drunk, it could inhibit the spread of toxins in the body. Many places in Wutai Mountain are rich in strange medicinal materials, and it is not surprising that the spring water in the mountain has this miraculous effect.

"Yes, thanks to the spring water, most of our villagers' conditions are under control. An old man in a sixtieth birthday walked in and said to Ling'er, "The old man is the village leader of Liujia Village, and I heard that the girl is willing to treat everyone, so I came to thank you." ”

"It is the responsibility of doctors to save lives and help the wounded, and the village does not need to say thank you. Ling'er said.

Under the leadership of the village leader, Ling'er went door-to-door to treat the villagers. As she expected, they were all poisoned by the same kind.

"The villagers are all poisoned or not poisoned by the whole family, and the little woman thinks that the toxins should come from the diet. Ling'er analyzed

"The old man told everyone to pay more attention to the three meals. "This time it's thanks to Dr. Gan." ”

"No, it's thanks to the Nine Girls Spring, if it weren't for the miraculous effect of the spring, the toxins would invade the internal organs, even Hua Tuo would be alive, and he would not be able to return to the sky. By the way, Muramasa, how did everyone know that the Nine Girls Spring Water could inhibit the spread of toxicity?" Ling'er asked.

"It's also a coincidence that when someone in the village was sick, a young woman passed by the village. It was she who told us about the efficacy of the spring water, and we went up the mountain to get the water. Muramasa said.

"What a coincidence!" Ling'er suddenly remembered the scene she saw when she went down Wutai Mountain yesterday, and people hurriedly went up and down the mountain to get water. "If you stop and inquire at that time, you can save the suffering of the patients for a while. The more Ling'er thought about it, the more she regretted it.

After seeing the villagers overnight, Ling'er felt exhausted. However, she was very happy to see the villagers' illnesses gradually ease.

When Ling'er finished her lunch and was about to take a rest, the young man hurriedly called her yesterday.

"Sister, someone is poisoned again, it's the same symptom. The boy said anxiously.

"Take me there. Ling'er hurriedly said.

Ling'er understands that detoxification is important, but it is more important to find the source of the toxin.

"We were eating when we suddenly felt tightness in my chest, shortness of breath, and then I felt pain in my abdomen. An aunt who had just become ill said bitterly.

Ling'er examines the food they eat and discovers that the source of the toxin is a fish.

"This fish was caught by a clumsy man who went to the Qingshui River early in the morning. The aunt said weakly.

Without further ado, Ling'er immediately went down to the Qingshui River under the young man's lead.
