Chapter 44 Shallots and Rue
Yun'er's face turned red, and she gently pushed him and said, "Idiot, my story is finished." ”
Lin Fengsheng sighed a few times in his mouth, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said, "I know the truth, is the elixir you are talking about this 'shallots and rue incense'?"
Yun'er said: "Well, the shallot leaf rue can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and it is very effective. There is only one plant within a radius of 100 miles, and only my grandfather and I know the Tao, so the people of the Shura Sect will never find it. ”
Lin Fengsheng said curiously: "Since this shallot leaf rue incense is so rare, how did you and your predecessors find this elixir?"
Yun'er said: "It was found by Master Kongyuan. That year, my grandfather discovered Shentie, but he was also harmed by the miasma in the valley, and his symptoms were terrible, and his life was in danger. Master Kongyuan is proficient in the art of disambiguation, and said that there is only one medicine in the world that can solve this poison, and that is the shallot. Later, Master Kongyuan took me to search around in the mountains, and finally let us find it. Youyou sighed and said, "It's a pity that grandpa still left me now." ”
Lin Fengsheng wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he was afraid that his grief would be touched even more, so he had to say, "You can take me to see this magical herb, okay?" Yun'er nodded, looked at the night and got up to leave.
After a while, Yun'er's sobbing sound was faintly heard in the room, thinking that she missed her dead grandfather again. The cuckoos in the mountains seemed to be also touched by Yun'er's cry, and they also cried one after another, which sounded particularly sad in the middle of the night.
Lin Fengsheng touched the scene, and couldn't help but groan: "Living near the low humidity of the Huangjiang River, the yellow reeds and bitter bamboos surround the house. In the meantime, when I heard something, the cuckoo cried and the blood ape wailed. This poem is a few lines from Bai Letian's "Pipa Quotation", and the aptitude is as if it was written for this situation. He didn't have the intention to meditate anymore, so he fell asleep under the covers.
After breakfast the next day, Yun'er poured a bowl of pale yellow soup and said, "Drink this, I'll take you to Sword Casting Valley to play." ”
Lin Fengsheng was overjoyed, took the soup bowl and drank it, as soon as he entered his mouth, he felt a faint smell of medicine, hurriedly spit out the soup, and frowned: "What kind of medicine is this? I am not sick, so I don't need to drink medicine." ”
Seeing this, Yun'er covered her mouth and giggled, and said, "This is the medicinal juice boiled with shallots and rue, aren't you afraid of miasma if you don't drink it?"
When Lin Fengsheng heard that it was a good medicine against poison, he drank the medicinal soup in one go. Yun'er carried a small medicine basket, took a small blue and white porcelain vase, took Lin Fengsheng out of the thatched hut, and walked straight to the mountain.
The two of them stepped on the winding mountain path step by step, and when they crossed a mountain range, they saw a canyon between the two mountains, and the valley mouth was covered with verdant trees and a faint mist, and the scenery seemed to be quiet.
Yun'er pointed to the valley and said: "In front of it is the Sword Casting Valley, there are few birds and beasts in the valley, and there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects." He took out the small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured some powder out, and sprinkled it on Lin Fengsheng's clothes and hair, which was pungent and spicy, and made people want to sneeze.
Lin Fengsheng heard the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the valley, and he was faintly scared, and said, "Let's go and pick the shallot leaves and rue incense, and go into the valley to play another day." ”
Yun'er naturally knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, these medicines contain more than ten kinds of drugs to restrain snakes and insects, and the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the valley will naturally stay away when they smell the smell." Lin Fengsheng was a little relieved, and also sprinkled medicinal powder for Yun'er, and followed behind her.
Both sides of the valley are jagged and strange, as if it were a natural gateway. There is a three- or four-foot-wide corridor between the strange stones, and there are traces of chiseling everywhere, which are obviously artificially excavated.
Yun'er led Lin Fengsheng across the corridor, picked a few leaves and put them in her arms, picked another one and sucked it in her mouth gently, and said, "Fengsheng, look, this is the shallot leaf rue." ”
I saw that there is a flower tree that resembles a camellia next to the strange stone, the leaves are oval and thin, verdant and dripping, dotted with the flowers of golden stamens and white petals, the pavilion is independent, very eye-catching.
Lin Fengsheng stroked the leaves and watched them carefully, and sighed: "This is the poison-avoiding spirit grass and shallot leaf rue? ”
Yun'er said: "I once heard Master Kongyuan say that all things in the world are mutually reinforcing, and the antidote to poison often has to be found in the source of poison. As the so-called bell is solved, the bell must be tied to the bell. ”
Lin Fengsheng nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, Master Kongyuan is really a great monk. ”
A few steps further is a swamp with dead leaves and rotting grass, emitting a foul smell that makes you want to gause. Every other step in the mud there is a stake, which leads straight to the other side of the swamp.
As soon as Lin Fengsheng and Yun'er stepped on the first wooden stake, they heard a few clear gurgling sounds from the valley, and then they heard the sound of the dead leaves, Lin Fengsheng stared at it and got goosebumps when he landed, only to see that the other side of the swamp was densely packed with snakes and insects, and with a few gurgling sounds, they fell into the mud one after another, shaking their heads and tails and swimming outward.
Lin Fengsheng exclaimed, "Yun'er, it's not good, these poisons are coming to bite us." He took Yun'er's hand and turned around to run away.
Yun'er stood still, not only did she not show the slightest fear, but her face showed excitement, and said: "No wonder these poisons want to escape, it turns out that there is a nemesis from the valley." ”
Lin Fengsheng saw that she looked fearless, and said in his heart: "This little girl is not small, isn't she afraid of poisonous insect bites?" ”
Yun'er pulled her a few steps closer, stretched out her hand and pointed to the other side, "Look, isn't that their nemesis?"
Lin Fengsheng looked along where she was pointing, and saw two small toads on the edge of the swamp, all snow-white, squatting with their heads held high, and their cheeks gurgling one by one.
Yun'er said: "This is the ice toad, it is very rare, today is really a coincidence, and it was actually seen for us." ”
Lin Fengsheng didn't know its preciousness, and said nonchalantly: "What's so strange about the two little toads, it's just that they look better, and I usually look at them tightly." ”
Yun'er smiled and glanced at him and said, "Do you know what to say, this is not an ordinary little toad, but a rare treasure in the world." You see, these poisonous snakes and insects are afraid of it like this, how can it be an ordinary thing. ”
Lin Fengsheng saw these poisons and fled in all directions, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said: "This little thing really has some ability, it may be the king of these poisons." ”
Yun'er said: "They are not a group, the ice toad is the natural enemy of these poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, it can detoxify the poison of any kind of poison." ”
Lin Fengsheng said happily: "Yes, it seems that I underestimated it." These two little things are so cute, shall we catch them back?"
Yun'er said happily: "Okay! Just be careful of its toad sand, you see, even these poisons can't withstand it." "Sure enough, there were many poisonous snakes, centipedes, and scorpions dead in the mud, and only a small amount of poison escaped.
Lin Fengsheng was surprised and delighted, and said: "I didn't expect this ice toad to be so powerful, we will take it with us in the future, and the poison will be easy everywhere we go, I don't know how majestic the road is." How are we going to catch it?"
Yun'er didn't feel a little guilty: "I don't know the way, I just heard my grandfather talk about the ice toad, I have never seen it before, and I don't know how to catch it." ”
Lin Fengsheng was even more unheard of, and said eagerly: "It doesn't matter, let me catch it." ”
Yun'er pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Your footwork is very clever, and its toad sand may not be able to spray you." But you have to be very careful, if you really can't catch it, forget it, don't force it at all. If you accidentally hurt it, then I ...... Then I want ...... I regret it for life. After speaking, I couldn't help blushing. Lin Fengsheng was secretly moved in his heart, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." As soon as the smoke ran past the stake, the two ice toads were still crouching on the edge of the swamp, screaming from time to time, as if they were proud of their achievements.
Lin Fengsheng ran behind the ice toad, grabbed one of them like lightning, but this little thing reacted very quickly, and avoided it with a slight jump, spewing out a stream of poisonous sand. The other ice toad's cheeks were bulging, and it was also a stream of poisonous sand spewing out, and the two streams of poisonous sand shot one after the other, Lin Fengsheng was shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the ice toad was so flexible, and the real qi was all over his body, and the two poisonous sands seemed to hit an invisible wall of qi when they landed, and they scattered and splashed in all directions.
Lin Fengsheng was very happy in his heart, thinking that the two little toads were nothing more than that, and he was about to pounce on them again to catch them, when he suddenly felt a dizziness in his mind, and his limbs were soft and disobedient, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
