Chapter 22: Foraging for Medicine in the Forest
One day, it happened to be a rest day, Qin Hexuan wanted to go down the mountain to relax, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Xia Xue coming towards him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sister Xue'er, came to your brother so early?" Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
"No, I'm here to find Brother Hexuan. Xia Xue said.
"Looking for me, what's the matter?" Qin Hexuan asked.
"I want to ask Brother Hexuan for a favor. Xia Xue said.
"What's the help, my brother can help. Qin Hexuan patted his chest and said.
"During this time, I have been busy helping the master take care of the medicine garden, and I have planted many medicinal herbs in the past half a year, but there are still a few things missing, I heard that we have them in Tianzhao Peak, I want to trouble Brother Hexuan to go into the mountain with me to look for them, is it okay?" Xia Xue asked.
"Of course, let's go. Qin Hexuan said.
"Well, thank you, Brother Hexuan. Xia Xue said.
"Sister Cher is so polite. Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
In addition to Tianzhao Academy, there are no other humanities buildings in Tianzhao Peak, there is only a stone ladder and an artificial masonry road in the whole mountain, except for both sides of the road, there are few traces of the rest, the deeper you go, the more you reveal a mysterious atmosphere.
Qin Hexuan and Xia Xue walked in the jungle, surrounded by all kinds of ancient trees and lush vegetation, Xia Xue searched left and right, and often found some rare herbs from the weeds and flowers, and carefully put them into his back basket. Looking at Xia Xue, Qin Hexuan sighed in his heart: Two years have passed, Xia Xue has also grown into an adult, two years ago, when he was chasing Lingling to run in the jungle, he still needed Xia Qingcang to carry him, and now it is effortless to walk in this deep mountain, and his eyes are like torches, and he can distinguish the medicine and strange grass from such a chaotic plant, which shows that the sweat has not been shed in the past two years.
Thinking of Lingling, Qin Hexuan asked Xia Xuedao: "Xue'er, you have been gone for the past two years, how is Lingling?"
"I put Lingling back in the mountains when I left, and I don't know how the past two years have been. Xia Xue said.
"That monkey is human, and he will surely recognize you. Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
"I also hope to meet it again when I go into the mountains this time, so I also brought a large bunch of bananas, hehe. Xia Xue said with a smile.
"What? You bananas won't attract a whole bunch of monkeys, will you? Two years ago, a spirit had already choked us, and if we came to a group this time, we wouldn't be able to bear it. Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, there is Brother Hexuan, is the current Brother Hexuan still Brother Hexuan two years ago?" Xia Xue said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's, with me, don't be afraid, although I don't learn a set of shocking boxing techniques like your brother, but it will definitely not be a problem to deal with a few small mountain monkeys. Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
The two walked for a while, but there was no trace of the mountain monkey along the way. Suddenly, I saw Xia Xue running to a place very happily, digging up an inconspicuous grass in the mud, and her expression could not hide her excitement.
"Is such an ordinary-looking weed also some kind of rare treasure?" Qin Hexuan stepped forward and asked.
"Well, yes, this grass is called Mingxin Grass, and it is a strange grass that can refresh the mind and demystify the elephant. Xia Xue explained.
"Refresh your mind, just drink a pot of tea, do you still need to work so hard to find this herb?" Qin Hexuan was puzzled.
"Brother Hexuan's words are wrong, what I mean by refreshing your mind is not to boost your spirits, but to make your brain instantly awake when you are hypnotized or by some psychedelic illusions, and this grass is very simple to use, you just need to pluck its leaves and put it in your mouth. Xia Xue explained.
"Pick a slice and try it. Saying that, Qin Hexuan wanted to reach out and pick it, but Xia Xue patted her outstretched hand and said, "This grass is relatively rare, and I don't have it in my medicine garden, so I have to transplant it back." ”
"Okay, okay, then wait for you to plant a few plants, and I'll use them to wake up my brain and see if I can make my reasoning ability improve by leaps and bounds, haha. Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
"Brother Hexuan, you're laughing again, hehe. Xia Xue said with a smile.
"I don't think it's getting early, why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow. Qin Hexuan raised his head and said.
"I still need a purple frost flower, after I find it, the herbs in my medicine garden are basically complete, let's look for it again. Generally, the purple frost flowers bloom on the cliffs, and we go to the higher places. With that, Xia Xue climbed up the mountain.
Crawling and crawling, the two of them inadvertently came to the peak of Tianzhao Peak. Standing on the top of the peak, the breeze is coming, mixed with the breath of vigorous life in the woods, and a sense of freshness and nature hits the whole body.
"It is said that I have stayed in Tianzhao Academy for more than two years, and I have not climbed to the top of this Tianzhao Peak, if it weren't for Sister Xue'er today, I would definitely have to lament for missing this beautiful scenery in the future. Qin Hexuan stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance and sighed. At this time, the Tianzhao Peak is full of clouds and mist, standing on the top of the peak, such as the shore of the ******, the waves are surging, the waves are splashing, and the waves are crashing on the shore.
"Yes, everyone is studying hard, but they don't know that there is such a strange scene at the door. Xia Xue stood beside Qin Hexuan and said.
The two stood side by side in silence, admiring the churning of the sea of clouds.
"By the way, Xue'er, hurry up and see if there is any purple frost flower you said nearby, it's not early, and there is still a long way to go down the mountain. After a while, Qin Hexuan said.
"Well, I can't see it here, I need to climb down the cliff to see. Xia Xue said.
"No, it's too dangerous. Qin Hexuan refused.
"Brother Hexuan, don't worry, I used to go up the mountain with Wuyi to collect medicine, and I often walked between the cliffs, I am used to it. After saying that, Xia Xue went to the surrounding area and found a thick vine tied to herself at one end, and tied to the giant tree at the other end, and slowly climbed down the cliff.
"You have to be careful, if you pull the vine in any case, I'll pull you up right away. Qin Hexuan stood in front of the cliff and shouted.
"Yes. After speaking, Xia Xue had climbed down a few feet.
Qin Hexuan waited on the cliff for a while, there was a quiet place under the cliff, Xia Xue's figure had been hidden in the sea of clouds, if it weren't for the fact that the vines had been moving slowly, Qin Hexuan would have jumped down to see if Xia Xue had an accident. Suddenly, the vines stopped moving, and then Xia Xue was vaguely heard an exclamation, Qin Hexuan did not hesitate, and pulled Xia Xue up the cliff with his internal force.
Qin Hexuan helped Xia Xue sit on the ground, and saw that Xia Xue was holding a purple flower in her hand, but there was a tooth mark similar to a snake on her right foot, and black blood flowed out of the seal, and she knew that she was poisoned at a glance. At this time, Xia Xue's consciousness was already a little blurred, and she whispered in her mouth: "Taipan Snake..."
As soon as he heard the Taipan snake, Qin Hexuan's head exploded, this snake had heard Chen Wuyi talk about it in class, it was the first poisonous snake, it was violent, the poison was very fast, and few people who were bitten by it survived, why did such a poisonous snake appear in Tianzhao Peak. Seeing this, Qin Hexuan immediately sealed several large points on Xia Xue's right foot to seal the toxicity and prevent it from spreading to the heart. Then injected his internal force into Xia Xue's body, hoping to force out the toxin.
It is a profound skill in the field of medical and martial arts integration to use your own internal force to cross into the opponent's body to help it force poison, because first of all, you need to guide your own internal force to enter the opponent's body in an orderly manner without running around in the body, and secondly, you have to find the toxins in the opponent's body, and finally the most difficult step is to guide your own internal force to slowly force out the toxin, this process is not fast or slow, you must adjust the speed and purity of your own internal force according to the flow speed and strength of the opponent's toxin. Therefore, people who do not have profound medical skills and mellow internal strength cannot do it at all.
Qin Hexuan had only heard of it from Chen Wuyi's class, and he had never tried it, but this time there was no antidote around him, so he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Qin Hexuan directly started from one of the several acupuncture points on his newly sealed right foot, and slowly injected internal force to guide the internal force to move along the meridians to the wound, but due to his lack of experience, the situation in Xia Xue's body was almost a blank sheet of paper for Qin Hexuan, and he couldn't even observe the direction and strength of the meridians, let alone the distribution location and flow of toxins. Therefore, Qin Hexuan only dared to inject a small internal force and search tentatively, but he was still like a blind man exploring the way, wandering around. As time passed, Qin Hexuan had already vaguely felt that the toxin had begun to impact the sealed acupuncture points, and there were gradually signs of loosening. Qin Hexuan became more and more anxious, the more anxious and chaotic, and the internal force began to commotion. Just when he was out of control, suddenly an external force struck, and it vaguely guided Qin Hexuan's internal force to return to one place, and slowly walked forward. Qin Hexuan was taken aback, and found that at this time, he didn't know where Xia Xue got the strength, and he was holding a silver needle to stimulate the acupuncture point of his right foot, it turned out that Xia Xue was using the silver needle to probe the acupoint to guide Qin Hexuan's internal force. Seeing this, Qin Hexuan gradually calmed down and let his internal force guide him in Xia Xue's body.
With the guiding light, Qin Hexuan can rest assured to increase the output of internal force, and Xia Xue is worthy of being a saint hand medicine immortal disciple, and through the silver needle, he can not only guide Qin Hexuan's internal force to the direction, but also control its flow rate and strength, which makes Qin Hexuan feel that the medical field is broad and profound. The two worked closely together, and gradually the toxin was slowly forced back and flowed out of the wound. Xia Xue didn't say a word throughout the whole process, Qin Hexuan saw that he had been clenching his teeth and closing his eyes, which showed that he had to resist the erosion of snake venom on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to keep his mind clear and guide his internal force.
Just as they were about to finish, suddenly, there was a loud bang above the two of them, and they saw a huge eagle falcon leaning over, aiming at the purple frost flower in Xia Xue's hand. Qin Hexuan shouted in his heart: At this time, it is a critical juncture, if he withdraws to resist the eagle falcon, as soon as the internal force is gone, the toxin will flow backwards, and the previous efforts will be wasted, Xia Xue's now weak body will not be able to go through such a toss.
The eagle falcon's diving speed was unusually comparable, and in a moment it had reached the top of Xia Xue's head, and when he was dying, he saw Qin Hexuan use his body to block the earth-shattering blow of the eagle. The huge eagle claw struck Qin Hexuan's back firmly, and in an instant, a large piece of flesh and blood was grabbed by the claws, and suddenly Xia Xue felt that Qin Hexuan's internal force in her body was disordered, and two lines of tears had slid down her face, and she shouted in her heart: Brother Hexuan, don't worry about me, but at this time she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Qin Hexuan endured the pain and hurriedly adjusted his breath to stabilize his internal strength. The falcon failed to make a single blow and quickly rose into the air, ready to strike a second time, this time to a higher position, hoping to use the drop dive to increase its power and the first blow to get rid of the nasty obstacle in front of it.
A long roar, piercing through the clouds, straight into the sky, the eagle falcon swooped down, and if it was hit again, it would be fatal, at this time Qin Hexuan's heart was extremely clear, although he knew this, what could he do?
