Chapter 5: Horses and Beasts
Mingyuan City, the third largest city in Fengguo.
The city is located in the plain, covering an area of 100 miles, a large river in the south of the city is meandering, and the water and land transportation are extremely convenient, which also contributes to the prosperity of the city.
At this time, the crowd of people entering the city at the city gate lined up in a long line, and the sound was noisy.
Liu Le'er pulled the tall young man into the crowd, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, and her eyes glanced at the city gate several feet high from time to time.
An octagonal bronze mirror hangs there, facing the direction of the city gate.
At this time, the sun is three poles, and a gossip pattern depicted on the bronze mirror shines in the sun, exuding a dignified atmosphere.
To enter the city, you only need to pay some silver money to the guards, and the inspection does not seem to be strict, and soon it will be Liu Le'er and the young man's turn.
The two came to the city gate, facing the gossip bronze mirror on the city gate, and an inexplicable force enveloped the two.
Liu Le'er's body looked a little stiff and lowered her head.
The tall young man looked straight at the gossip bronze mirror, his eyes were dull, but no one noticed that a wisp of blue light flashed in the depths of his pupils, but there was no abnormality on the bronze mirror.
"Where are you, what are you going to do in the city?" a middle-aged man's guard at the gate asked, glancing at the two of them.
"A few eldest brothers, our brothers and sisters are three hundred miles northwest of the city, from Liujia Town, my name is Liu Leer, this is my brother Liu Shi, who came to the city to join his relatives, and by the way, he treated his brother. Liu Le'er's little face was full of smiles, and she said quickly.
Over the years, although she and the tall young man have relied on each other, they still can't help but come into contact with outsiders, and for convenience, they gave this "stone brother" a willow name.
As she spoke, Liu Le'er quickly took out some copper coins and handed them to the guard, which was slightly more than the entrance fee to the city.
Seeing this, the middle-aged guard showed a hint of satisfaction on his face, and quietly stuffed the extra copper coins into his bag, glanced at the tall young man Liu Shi, who was a little sluggish, and waved his hand without asking any more questions:
"I see that your brother and sister can't be villains, go in. ”
Liu Le'er agreed, pulled Liu Shi into the city quickly, walked a long distance, and was far away from the city gate, only to slow down in a no-man's corner and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I still have the qi charm that my father gave me back then, which can cover my demonic energy, and I was not found by the demon mirror. ”
Liu Le'er looked around and no one was paying attention, muttered a few words in a low voice, and then took out a cyan jade talisman from his arms.
The jade talisman is two inches long and two fingers wide, and it is engraved with cyan patterns, forming a complex magic circle, and soft blue light flows on it, as if flowing water.
She looked at the thing in her hand, and after a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, she carefully hid the jade talisman again.
After turning two alleys, the two came to the main street of Mingyuan City.
The street is wide enough for three horse-drawn carriages to travel side by side, and the street is lined with tall and spacious commercial buildings, which are lined up one after another, leading to the end of the view.
However, there are not many bricks and tiles used here, most of them are built of wood, although the houses are not very tall, and there are very few high-rise buildings of more than ten zhang, but they are better in subtle and exquisite, and they are very novel.
Liu Le'er came to a big city like Mingyuan City for the first time, and the bustling crowd around her made her a little scared, and her body was next to Liu Shi.
However, although there was a lot of people around, they went their own way, and no one came to interfere with the two, so that her mood gradually relaxed, and she began to be attracted by all kinds of new things in the city, and pulled Liu Shi to wander around the street with great interest.
"Brother Stone, look over there! I've heard of that thing, and it looks delicious. Liu Le'er looked intently at a vendor selling rock sugar gourds not far away.
Liu Shi's dark eyes reflected the lively scene around him, and his face was expressionless, looking completely indifferent to these.
Liu Le'er was about to pull Liu Shi over, when she suddenly saw the young man like this, she felt a sense of loss in her heart, and immediately remembered the purpose of this trip into the city, and hurriedly clenched the young man's palm, and said seriously.
"Brother Shi, don't worry, this city is so big, there must be a doctor who can cure you. ”
When Liu Shi heard this, his eyes flickered slightly.
Liu Leer took Liu Shi to eat something at the street stall, asked someone about it, and soon asked about the location of the two nearby medical centers.
Chengxi, Lee's Medical Center.
Li's Medical Center has been practicing medicine here for 100 years and can be regarded as a time-honored brand.
A middle-aged man in a green cloth robe sat on a wooden chair, pressed three fingers on Liu Shi's wrist, and carefully checked the pulse, Liu Leer stood aside a little nervously.
This middle-aged man's name is Li Changqing, and he is the contemporary successor of Li's Medical Center, a well-known Xinglin master in the vicinity, who has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years.
After taking the pulse for a long time, Li Changqing withdrew his palm.
"Brother Ling's six veins are smooth and powerful, full of qi and blood, and his body is obviously excellent, how can he suffer from soul loss. When did this symptom of his appear?, but is there any external reason?" Li Changqing frowned and looked at Liu Le'er and asked.
"My brother and I haven't seen him for years, and we don't know anything about his cause. Liu Le'er shook her head and said.
"Then it will be difficult to do, and if you don't know the cause, there will be no cure. Please forgive me for being shallow and weak in the lower medical path. Li Changqing stroked his long beard and said apologetically.
"Is there really no clue?" Liu Le'er said urgently.
"There's really nothing you can do about it. Li Changqing shook his head and said.
Liu Le'er was disappointed in her heart, saluted Li Changqing, and walked out of the medical hall with Liu Shi.
"There are still many medical centers in Mingyuan City, and if we look at it as a family, we will definitely be able to cure you. ”
The girl hung her head for a while, and then quickly said to Liu Shi with a cheer.
Liu Shi grinned, not knowing if he understood Liu Le'er's words.
The two walked in one direction, through two blocks, to the door of another medical hall.
The gray exterior wall of this medical hall, the black tile roof, and the wide courtyard, exude a luxurious atmosphere, which is much more magnificent than the Li Medical Center, and there are many people who come to seek medical treatment.
"This medical hall is so big, the doctors in it should be even more skilled. Liu Le'er was full of expectations and walked in with Liu Shi.
Half an hour later, the two of them came out of it, and the girl still had a look of disappointment on her face.
"Don't worry, there are other medical centers. Liu Leer quickly lifted her spirits.
For most of the next day, the two walked through the streets and alleys, almost going through most of the medical halls in Mingyuan City, but those doctors were helpless about Liu Shi's symptoms.
......
North of the city, wild chrysanthemum.
Two figures slowly paced out from inside, it was Liu Leer and Liu Shi.
Liu Le'er looked lost, bowed her head and played with the corners of her clothes.
Although this Yeju Zhai is not the largest medical center in Mingyuan City, it is said that the doctors here have quite an opinion on some incurable diseases, but unfortunately they have not been able to see the cause of Liu Shi.
"The little girl stayed. At this moment, a voice came from behind, and an old man in a green robe with gray hair quickly chased after him from behind.
"Dr. Liu. Liu Le'er was slightly surprised and stopped.
This old man in the green robe is the person who just took the pulse of Liu Shi, the doctor of Ye Juzhai.
"What did you think of about your brother's condition?" Liu Le'er suddenly felt a little hope in her heart, and asked hurriedly.
"Exactly, after the old man treated Brother Ling, he went to the back hall to read some medical classics, and happened to see a case that was quite similar to Brother Ling's situation. The old man in the green robe nodded.
"Doctor, please. Liu Leer was overjoyed when she heard this.
According to the book, Brother Ling's symptoms are very different from ordinary soul loss, and he is cursed, or he is forbidden by someone, and his soul is hurt. This kind of injury is not something that ordinary doctors can treat, and it is only possible to cure it if they find an immortal master who is good at it. As for the unspeakable things, it is a trivial matter, so that my brother's tongue is not hindered, as long as the spirit returns to normal, he will naturally speak. The old man in the green robe continued.
After hearing this, Liu Leer fell silent, and after a while, she barely managed to squeeze out some cute smiles:
"Thank you Dr. Liu for your advice. ”
"The little girl is polite, it is our duty as a doctor to treat the sick and save people. The old man in the green robe shook his head and returned to the house on his own.
Liu Le'er took the young man out of Yeju Zhai and became sullen.
"Alas, Brother Shi's situation is really that he was injured. The girl muttered to herself.
She is the body of a fox demon, although she is young, but she also has some understanding of cultivating immortals, and she has vaguely guessed that she may have been injured by someone from Liu Shi's abnormal appearance over the years.
If you want to be treated, you have to turn to an immortal cultivator who is proficient in the path of the divine soul.
It's just that such an immortal cultivator is extremely powerful, and with just one qi amulet, she is really not sure that she can hide it from the other party.
The two of them came to Mingyuan City to seek medical treatment this time, and they also had the idea of what happened, hoping that it would be best if they guessed wrong, but now it seems that it backfired.
Liu Le'er couldn't help but hesitate.
Just as she was frowning, there was a commotion on the street in front of her, and the pedestrians on the street were in a mess.
"The horse beast is shocked!"
"Get out of the way!"
An exclamation came from the front, and the crowd was chaotic and ran desperately to both sides.
I saw that not far away, a silver carriage was torn down by a cyan strange horse covered in scales, and it ran wildly as if it was crazy, and happened to rush towards Liu Le'er and Liu Shi.
The strange blue horse neighed like a madman, and the carriage bumped left and right behind it, and the man who drove the carriage had a face like white paper, and desperately pulled the reins of the horse, but it was useless.
Liu Le'er was shocked and pulled the young man to dodge, but it was too late
In a gust of fishy wind, the strange horse pulled the carriage and flew as if it were close to the two of them, and the girl could even clearly see the full mouth of the tusks of the cyan strange horse and the clumps of white foam thrown out of it.
