Chapter 16: Night in the Valley
"What?" Xiaoyaozi looked at the ghost doctor puzzled, "Could it be that there are any taboos here?"
The ghost doctor didn't speak, but smiled and whistled at the wooden house not far away.
Is there anyone else living here?
This was the first thought that came to Xiaoyaozi's mind.
But then, Xiaoyaozi dispelled this thought, in such a quiet and lonely deep mountain and old forest, I am afraid that few people can endure the temperament, living here, let alone living with a strange temper like the ghost doctor, it takes a lot of courage and perseverance.
At this moment, a white fox ran towards the ghost doctor, and after running to the ghost doctor, he coiled his tail and curled up on the ground, as if to please the ghost doctor.
Xiaoyaozi became more curious about the skills of the ghost doctor, why there were so many kinds of creatures here, and why these fierce beasts were so docile in front of the ghost doctor. This white fox, Xiaoyaozi has also seen once, it is in the area of Taihang Mountain, there is a legend that there is a snow fox haunted, and this white fox is the legendary snow fox.
The snow fox is a very special species, and it is not just a fox. The fur of this fox can be used in medicine, which can play a role in calming the mind and calming the qi, dispelling fire and detoxifying.
The reason why snow foxes are called special breeds is also because they have a strong lethality, an adult snow fox is enough to rival a wolf.
However, now look at the snow fox at the feet of the ghost doctor, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a pet dog. Thinking about the leopard he had seen before, Xiaoyaozi felt that it would not be strange if he saw any more fierce beasts in front of the ghost doctor.
The ghost doctor picked up the snow fox, stroked the snow fox's fur, turned his head with a smile, and said to Xiaoyaozi, "Anyone who wants to get close to here, without my permission, Xiaobai will attack them." I didn't let you go before, and that's because of this. ”
Xiaoyaozi was thinking at this time, why did the ghost doctor give Snow Fox such a childish name? Xiaobai? It seems that the dog of the eldest lady next door was also called Xiaobai when he was a child
When he raised his head again, Xiaobai's figure had disappeared, and there was only the ghost doctor's rickety back and vigorous steps in front of him. I have to say that the ghost doctor's body is still very good, he has basically never rested after walking so far, and he is not walking slowly.
After crossing the stream, the ghost doctor took Xiaoyaozi to his wooden house, put the basket on his back on the table, reached out and picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water into the cup, and drank it himself.
After drinking three cups in a row, the ghost doctor seemed to quench his thirst, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the room you live in tonight." The ghost doctor said, walking to a room in the cabin.
Xiaoyaozi didn't say a word, and followed the ghost doctor to the room.
This room is the one closest to the stream, the window is large, the light is good, you can hear the sound of running water, and you can see the colorful flowers mixed in with the trees.
The colorful flowers exude a rich fragrance that makes Xiaoyaozi's heart feel relaxed. For some reason, Xiaoyaozi suddenly felt that his whole body was a little fluttering, as if he was about to float.
Wrong!
The scene in front of Xiaoyaozi had begun to blur, and he saw the stream flowing into the sky, and the whole house began to fly.
Xiaoyaozi has a delusion, and what is the reason for the delusion?
It was not the ghost doctor who drugged Xiaoyaozi, but the strange plant unique to this valley, the mandala flower.
Mandala flowers, born in the Western Regions, are suitable for growing in warm places, and when the mandala flowers bloom, they emit a strange fragrance, which can not only make people linger, but also make people hallucinate. If you keep smelling the fragrance of the mandala flowers for a long time, it may cause the person to fall into a state of fainting temporarily.
Sure enough, after a while, Xiaoyaozi's pupils began to shrink a little until he closed his eyes completely.
When the ghost doctor walked in from outside the door and wanted to ask if Xiaoyaozi needed more bedding, he found that Xiaoyaozi was already lying on the ground.
The ghost doctor shook his head helplessly, lifted one of Xiaoyaozi's shoulders with one hand, threw Xiaoyaozi on the bed, and then closed the window again.
At this time, Xiaoyaozi was completely unconscious. It was precisely because of this that he did not see the shocking scene in front of him. The ghost doctor is obviously an old man over sixty years old, and he can easily pick up Xiaoyaozi with one hand, which is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It can be seen that the ghost doctor is quite good.
Amazing strength is by no means something that can be cultivated overnight. Xiaoyaozi would never have thought that the ghost doctor who seemed to be lying on his back had such a powerful power.
After closing the window, the ghost doctor took out an incense stick from the cupboard next to the bed, lit it, inserted it into the incense burner, and walked out.
It was night, the wind was refreshing, and Xiaoyaozi dreamed that he had come to a fairyland, where there were fairies in fluttering clothes, old fairies with crane hair and childish faces, and horses galloping in the sky, he felt that he could touch the soft clouds with his hand, and the golden palace
Suddenly, it began to rain in the sky, and the soft white clouds turned into dark clouds, and in the darkness, I couldn't see my fingers. Only when lightning whistles across the sky will it shine again.
Wrong!
Xiaoyaozi finally woke up from his dream, he opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up, his clothes soaked with sweat. Xiaoyaozi looked around vigilantly, and only after he didn't notice anything unusual did he put his mind at ease and think back to the dream he had just had.
Strange, why do you dream like that?
Xiaoyaozi was a little strange, and after he glanced around a few times, he lay down again.
However, as soon as he lay down, Xiaoyaozi felt something strange - why was the pillow wet, and there was a lot of sweat on his body, but it wasn't so much, it was obviously not sweat, and it was mixed with a smell, more like urine.
But at night, there are only himself and the ghost doctor in the valley, no matter how strange this ghost doctor is, it is impossible for him to pee on his pillow, right? This kind of thing is estimated to be done only by children, but there are no children in the Medicine King Valley at all.
Xiaoyaozi was puzzled.
In fact, he overlooked one thing, not only people can pee, but animals can too.
Look at Xiaoyaozi's bed again, the snow fox is lying quietly on the floor, sleeping soundly!
It's a pity that Xiaoyaozi didn't look under the bed, and he didn't think that there were animals under his bed. He jumped out of bed, opened the window, and looked out at the moon.
At this time, the mandala flower actually closed its petals!
