Chapter 49: The Forest of All Beings
Xuan Che looked at the old man, sighed and said, "But as soon as he went, he never came back, did he?"
The old man nodded, wiping his tears from his eyes.
Xuan Che asked, "The plague you are talking about, but it is manifested as intermittent attacks of cold and heat, when the attack is accompanied by obvious chills, the whole body trembles, the face is pale, the lips are cyanotic, the chills last for about an hour to an hour, and then the body temperature rises rapidly, the face is flushed, the skin is dry and hot, irritability, the high fever lasts for about one to three hours, the whole body sweats profusely, and the body temperature drops to normal or below normal after sweating. After a period of intermittent hiatus, they begin to repeat the intermittent regular chills and episodes of high fever?"
"Yes, that's the symptom, and Childe also understands pharmacology? It's just that you haven't seen a patient, how do you know the symptoms?" the old man asked in surprise.
Hyun Che ignored his questioning and continued, "What kind of disease do you conclude this is?"
The old man said, "This is naturally malaria, this disease must be treated, and it is easy to treat, but this year's drought has caused no grass on the ground, let alone cure, it is difficult to find a medicinal herb." ”
"Why don't you go to the nearby villages and towns to ask for help or report to the imperial court?" Xuan Che frowned.
When the old man heard her ask, he seemed to be extremely angry: "The imperial court is very timely when it collects taxes, and the people are in trouble, but they ignore it. Not only that, but checkpoints were also set up on important roads to prevent the victims from going out to prevent the spread of the plague. We just want to ask for help, but there is no way to ask for help. ”
Xuan Che pondered for a long time and said, "Even so, although that ghost needle grass can cure malaria, it is also bitter and has no medicine to match." ”
The old man nodded, "That's true, although the ghost needle herb is effective, but without the assistance of other herbs, it can't cure malaria, it can only delay the disease." ”
Xuan Che hesitated for a moment and took something from his wrist, "I have a way to cure malaria." ”
The old man saw that the young man in front of him took a white and warm stone from his wrist, and bit his index finger, and dripped a few drops of blood from his fingertips on the stone. At the same time, a small amount of red flocculent began to appear in the stone that had absorbed human blood, as if it were alive, and it was slowly flowing. Xuan Che gave him the stone in his hand, "This thing is called the moon spirit, it has absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, it is a treasure, plus my blood, after you go back, put this moon spirit in the water, simmer for five hours, and the water boiled out can be cured." ”
When the old man heard her words, he laughed out loud, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, so good..." The old man saw that the wound on her fingertip was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in the blink of an eye, the wound was gone. Xuan Che only said lightly, "I'll only say it once, believe it or not, it's up to you." After speaking, he put the moon in the old man's hand, made a "wind" trick, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The old man saw that the son in front of him disappeared in a blink of an eye, and knew that he had met a master, so he knelt down and kowtowed to the forest of all living beings and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva for the medicine, thank you Bodhisattva for the medicine." ”
Xuan Che stood behind a big locust tree, looked at the old man kowtowing and thanking him, smiled slightly, and turned around and went into the locust forest.
As soon as I entered this forest of living beings, I only felt that the evil spirit was compelling, which made people shudder. I don't know if it's because this locust tree grows too tall and obscures the sun, or because the demon world is too close to the demon world.
The human realm outside the locust tree has just experienced a great drought, and there is not a single green in a radius of dozens of miles, but the woods on the border of humans and demons are extremely lush, and even the leaves are green and black. As he walked, Xuan Che checked the situation around him, and always felt that something was wrong. However, it was normal for something to be wrong at the junction of the human world, the demon world, and the demon world, and she was not too nervous. After all, even if she stood still, with the blood of heaven in her body, no demon would hurt her.
As we went deeper, the light in the forest became darker and darker. There were a lot of bones of people and animals in this forest, and the deeper she walked, the less bones piled up. It seems that there are not many people who can come here.
Xuan Che walked slowly and slowly investigated. From time to time, you could see the ground rise slightly, undulating in waves, as if the ground was alive and crawling like a snake. And Xuan Che, still as if he didn't know, continued to walk forward without looking back.
As she walked, things beneath the ground rose and fell more frequently, so much so that they seemed to follow her. Suddenly, Xuan Che seemed to have discovered something and stopped suddenly. The thing that followed behind him also stopped silently.
Xuan Che stopped because she saw three people hanging from the tree in front of her, wrapped in vines, and she didn't know whether they were dead or alive. The three of them, one of them was wearing a tattered blue-black robe, and the gossip map printed on his chest had been torn and incomplete, as if he had experienced a vicious fight, while the other two, one in a coarse cloth short coat, seemed to be a farmer, and the other was dressed in a white robe, as if he was a scholar. Xuan Che looked at the costumes of the three people, and guessed that they might be the Taoist priests who entered the forest of living beings to seek ghost needle grass as the old man said. Looking at the current scene, these people must have been more and less lucky.
Xuan Che sighed, and did not intend to put their corpses down, only to move on. As soon as she raised her foot, she heard the dead-like Taoist priest suddenly yell, "Be careful!" At the same time, something seemed to jump up behind her and pressed straight towards her. Xuan Che didn't have to look back to know that it was the earth demon who followed her all the way, she already knew that there was a earth demon behind her who had been following her, but she didn't take the initiative to attack, and she didn't bother to pay attention. Now that it has taken the initiative, Xuan Che will naturally not ignore it anymore.
Xuan Che quickly turned around, only to see a behemoth already pressed over. She whirled around and easily climbed over the behemoth's head. Xuan Che didn't want this kind of brainless earth demon fight, and only used the highest level spell in the heavenly machine-Heavenly Power.
Heavenly power is unique to Tianjizi, and it is also an innate spell, and with the growth of cultivation, the heavenly power will gradually increase. The so-called heavenly power refers to the majesty of Tianjizi, this spell has no offensive nature, but simply uses the majesty of Tianjizi to oppress the other party and make the other party surrender. The greater the gap between the two, the less difficult it is to cast the spell. So to deal with this earth demon who has almost no divine sense, Xuan Che only needs to use a type of heavenly power to make him obedient.
Xuan Che turned around, and he had already fallen lightly on the back of the earth demon. As soon as Tianquan came out, the earth demon immediately lay on the ground obediently, and he didn't even dare to come out. Xuan Che looked up and down at this earth demon, and said in the "Demon Sutra": There is a beast, its shape is like a snake and is scaly, several battles long, six legs, pointed heads, pig teeth, and the tail is one foot and eight feet long, disturbing the wilderness, called the earth demon. Now it seems that perhaps it is too old, this earth demon has been recorded in the book differently, the length is about the same, earthy yellow, only wide and flat, the eyes have long been degraded because of the long time in the ground, but the nose is very prominent. It is covered in scales, slightly clingy, and has a wide, short mouth that is perfect for biting. Its six-legged front legs are slightly short, but the hind legs are long and powerful, and they are very strong. But no matter how it changes, it's really ugly.
