Chapter 54, Utopia has a walled branch and leaves
Under the girl's entanglement, Shangguan Yun had to patiently tell her about the customs of the Roselle Kingdom, but he only looked forward to arriving at the village that the girl said quickly, because if the girl asked again, he would have to go through the gang without much experience. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Where the hell do you live, why haven't you arrived yet?", an hour later, Shangguan Yun faintly felt that something was wrong, the girl seemed to be taking him in circles.
"It's coming soon!", the girl stuck out her tongue before leading Shangguan Yun towards a dense jungle at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.
Shangguan Yun then discovered that the jungle at the foot of this mountain was different from other places, and the trees were even taller, almost every one of them was twenty or thirty zhang high, and the highest one was fifty zhang high.
Following the girl into the jungle, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but look up, and found that the thick branches and dense leaves, like a big umbrella, covered the sky tightly, and the treetops could not be seen at all.
"Alright, here we are!" the girl suddenly stopped in front of a large tree.
"Where is the village?", Shangguan Yun was confused.
"Hee-hee, you wait. The girl suddenly put her hand into a tree hole and played with it, and suddenly a door opened on the thick trunk for one person.
"Follow me!", the girl reached out and grabbed Shangguan Yun's wrist, pulled him into the tree door, and then took out a fire fold, the fire lit up, and a spiral staircase appeared. Then the girl pulled Shangguan Yun up the stairs for a long time, and the light on the tree ladder gradually brightened, and a half-moon-shaped doorway appeared in front of her.
Walking out of the doorway, Shangguan Yun found that there was indeed a village on top of the big tree, a small but quite delicate tree house, connected by a tree trunk, in the middle of the village, there was even a square built with wooden planks, and there were many people in the square looking at them.
"Sister Una is back!", a little girl of four or five years old ran over, hugged the girl's legs, raised her face and asked, "Sister, where have you been? Who is this person?"
"She can also speak Central Plains?", Shangguan Yun asked in surprise.
"I taught her. The girl touched the little girl's head, "Hua'er, you go play by yourself first, my sister still has something to do." The little girl answered obediently and ran away.
"Your name is Una?"
"yes, what's the matter, isn't that a nice name?"
"No, it's nice!"
"Follow me!", Una pulled Shangguan Yun and hurriedly walked towards the square, seeing the two coming, several young men deliberately blocked their way, looked at Shangguan Yun with obvious hostile eyes, and muttered something to Una.
Una said a few words to the boys, and suddenly with an impatient face, she pushed aside the few people, pulled Shangguan Yun into a large tree house behind the square.
There were seven or eight beds in the treehouse, and in each bed lay a man, all of them crimson and unconscious, and one or two women in front of the bed, wiping the patient's forehead with water. Shangguan Yun knew at a glance that these people were all poisoned by the miasma, and the crimson face was the fever at the time of the miasma.
In the middle of the treehouse, there was a long table, and there were several elderly people sitting at the table, one of whom was carrying a medicine basket, presumably the witch doctor in Una's mouth. Seeing the two of them come in, an old man in the middle talked to Una, judging from Una's respectful expression, the old man should be the grandfather in this village.
The witch doctor also started talking to Una at this time, Shangguan Yun couldn't understand a word, so he had to stand aside and wait quietly, and suddenly found that all the people in the room were looking at him, and he was a little embarrassed, so he nodded to everyone and turned his gaze to the patient closest to him.
"This is the patriarch of our Utopia village, this is the witch doctor Pawa, and those few are also the elders of the village. Una introduced to Shangguan Yun. The old men immediately got up, put their right hands on their chests and bowed to Shangguan Yun, estimating that this meant welcome, Shangguan Yun also hurriedly followed suit, bowing and returning the salute in the same way.
The patriarch immediately opened his mouth and said a few words to Shangguan Yun, and Una hurriedly translated, to the effect that he welcomed the distinguished guests from afar, hoping that he could relieve these people of the miasma, and thank him on behalf of the people in the village.
Shangguan Yun muttered in his heart, he just promised Una to try, and he didn't know how Una introduced himself to the other party, in case he couldn't cure these people's miasma, he would be regarded as a liar.
Nodding at Una, "I'll take a look at the patient first." ”
Shangguan Yun immediately leaned down to inspect the nearest patient. As soon as his finger tapped the pulse of the poisoned person, Shangguan Yun immediately had a hot feeling, and hurriedly injected the spiritual energy into the patient's body to explore it, only to find that the poisonous gas in the patient's body was stagnant, alternating between cold and heat, and the condition was indeed critical.
After looking at all the patients one by one, Shangguan Yun stood up and asked Una, "Can you tell me how they were poisoned?" This should not be an ordinary miasma, but a corpse miasma, or the poison of the miasma, if it wasn't for the timely treatment, I'm afraid that the poison would have died a long time ago." ”
Una nodded, and then began to talk to several old men, who nodded as they listened, and the witch doctor had some praise on his face.
"There is a hidden valley a hundred miles southeast of the stockade, and many animals rush to it when they are dying, especially elephants, and they will use it as their burial place, which is also called the elephant cemetery, and people from nearby tribes often go there to find ivory to make jewelry. ”
"These are the hunters in our village, they went to the elephant cemetery five days ago, I don't know how they were poisoned, they all fainted on the road, fortunately they were found by the medicine collectors in the village, and the witch doctor in the village immediately gave them herbs, but the disease is still getting worse day by day, as for the specific poison, no one knows. ”
After listening to Una's explanation, Shangguan Yun nodded, and then said to Una, I'll give it a try, but I need your help.
"No problem, what should I do?", Una said dryly.
"I needed a quiet room and some herbs. ”
"Okay, I'll talk to the team leader. ”
Una said a few words to the patriarch, and then pulled Shangguan Yun to a tree house not very far from the square.
"How's this one?"
"Well, yes, you can get me some more paper and pen. ”
"You wait!", Una flew away, and after a while came with paper and pen.
Shangguan Yun lay on the table, drew on the paper for a long time, and then stuffed the drawn paper to Una, "This is the herb I need, you go and prepare, I'll wait for you here." ”
After Una left, Shangguan Yun took out his ugly and broken Dan furnace from the storage bag, and couldn't help but think of things and people, thinking of Zhao Lao Wei, the reason why he dared to give it a try was entirely because among the alchemy experiences left by Zhao Lao Wei, there was a pill prescription for treating all kinds of miasma poisons.
I don't know how Old Monster Zhao is doing now, as well as those medicinal fields in Feiliu Valley.
The tree house was simple and tidy, and there was nothing to do while waiting, so Shangguan Yun meditated cross-legged on the wooden bed. Not long after I sat down, I suddenly heard the voice of a woman outside, but it was a very standard Zhongyuan dialect.
"Excuse me, may I come in?"
Shangguan Yun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up.
"Please come in. ”
A woman who looked to be in her forties, dressed in a blue dress, with silver jewelry on her wrists and neck, walked in from outside the house, and her face was quite similar to Una's.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Una's mother. ”
"Ah, please sit down, may I ask you something?"
"I heard from the flowers that Una has returned, but I haven't seen her in the village, so I came to you and asked her where she was. ”
"Una may have gone to collect medicine. ”
"Oh, then I know, I heard the patriarch say that you are a Danshi?
"Sort of, I've studied alchemy for a few days. Shangguan Yun was a little weak-hearted.
"Okay, I won't bother you, and when Una comes back, please tell her and let her go home early. ”
"Okay, I'll tell her, you go slowly. ”
After the woman left, Shangguan Yun thought in his heart, Una's mother must have come here not only to find Una, but to see her? After thinking about it, she smiled secretly, isn't this a standard self-inflicted amorousness! But to be honest, Una, this girl is really beautiful, but it's a pity that she is anxious now, how can she be in the mood to think about this.
It's a pity that people are so strange, when Shangguan Yun wanted to calm down and meditate again, the figure of Una kept appearing in his mind, the small mouth that kept talking, the tinkling silver ornaments, and the black hair like a cloud, and the little hands that always liked to point when he spoke.
Unable to calm down, Shangguan Yun simply let go of his thoughts, his father's revenge had not been avenged, and his cultivation path was also confused, he felt more and more that the pressure on his body was so heavy, but this aroused his pride, since I have nothing to rely on, then I can rely on my own strength, as long as I don't lose confidence, there is still hope.
After thinking about it like this for a while, Shangguan Yun's heart calmed down instead, and he slowly immersed himself in cultivation, although now the "Thick Earth Technique" is almost useless, but practicing is better than not practicing!
When Una returned, it was noon the next day, but there was a joyful smile on her tired face.
"The herbs are ready"
"Well, leave it to me. ”
"Ah, is this the alchemy furnace?"
"But, why does it look so broken!"
“。。。。。 ”
"Okay, I'm going to start alchemy now, please help me keep guard, don't ask others to break in. ”
"Got it. Una then rushed out the door, drove away all the three or four young men who were guarding the door, and then turned back into the house.
"Can I stay here and watch you do alchemy?"
"You can watch it if you want!", Shangguan Yun immediately began to get busy.
Three hours later, the first pot of elixir was finally baked, and Shangguan Yun found that Una had fallen asleep on the table.
"Wake up", Shangguan Yun gently patted Una on the shoulder.
