Chapter 38 Rescue
Chapter 38 Rescue
Yunqi didn't know much about treating souls, but in fact Meijishan's attainments in treating souls were very high. Yunqi only regretted that he had not spent time to study it before.
However, he himself had experienced his soul traveling outside of the body. Although he did not know how many herbs there were in the world that could repair the soul, and what they were, he knew that the green-leafed wisteria and Polygonum multiflorum he saw during the Meiji Mountain trial must be effective.
The old village chief was very surprised and glanced at the clouds.
Yunqi asked the village chief if there was a herb like this in the nearby mountains, with long heart-shaped green leaves with white veins, dark purple vines, and thick rhizomes.
The village chief was a little confused after hearing this. As he was old, he went out of the village less and less often, so he had no impression of it. However, he immediately told this description to several warriors beside the bed. After hearing this, one of the warriors nodded excitedly and pointed in a direction.
When they heard that this herb might be able to cure the child's illness, several warriors and the child's father immediately set out.
The village chief grabbed the child's father. It was now night time, and the child's father did not have enough yang energy and did not have a chicken feather comb. If he went, he would be committing suicide.
The cloud also stopped several warriors and said to the village leader,
"Munaigong, as long as you know where it is, it will be fine. Otherwise, I will have to spend more time looking for it. Now you guys wait here for me. I will be back soon."
The old village chief grabbed Yunqi tightly again, saying that he was a stranger and didn't know the strangeness of the forest at night.
Yunqi smiled and said to the old village chief, "Munaigong, I didn't enter the forest during the day. Before coming to the village, I had spent several nights in the forest."
The old village chief hesitated when he heard this, and loosened his grip on Yunqi a little, but soon tightened it again. He was worried that Yunqi was just lucky and had not encountered any evil spirits before.
Seeing that the child's breathing was gradually stopping, Yunqi had no intention of explaining or hiding anything, and directly summoned the "Dragon Cart".
A cloud of fire appeared in the room, and the fire quickly heated up the house.
Yunqi stepped on the cloud and asked the old village chief to describe in detail what the mountain looked like.
The people in the house were frightened by the sudden appearance of the fire cloud. The old village chief also let go of the cloud and stammered, asking the warrior to describe the location and appearance of the mountain, and then relayed it to the cloud.
Yunqi nodded, walked out of the house, and flew away directly on the cloud.
The people around the campfire were startled when they saw a flash of fire flying out of Donghuo's house, not knowing what was happening.
The cloud went straight west, crossed the mountain where the terraced fields were, and crossed two hilltops. Sure enough, he saw a pond on the left and a hill behind the pond. He hurriedly descended.
He put away his cloud in mid-air and landed on a hill. At this moment, a cloud of cold mist suddenly rose from a pond not far away. Looking closely, he could see the vague features of a person. At the same time, there was an old willow tree by the pond. Under the old willow tree was a hole in the ground, from which came out a yellow raccoon and a white snake.
A chilly night wind blew by, and the cold fog was blown towards the clouds by the wind.
The yellow fox and the white snake were also ready to make a move.
When he first entered the forest, Yunqi had seen some little monsters and ghosts, but at that time he thought it was not easy for little monsters to become spirits and it was also the creation of heaven and earth, so he avoided them. But he didn't expect that these beasts actually liked to eat people!
The cold fog was close to his back, but Yunqi's two feet were still moving forward. He twisted his waist and turned his upper body slightly backward. His left hand drew a semicircle in the air, pointing his index finger, and chanted:
"burn!"
The cold fog made a sharp scream and burned into nothingness in the air.
Huang Li and Bai She turned around and tried to flee, but after they had taken a few steps, their bodies suddenly caught fire, and in a few breaths, they turned into ashes.
"Zhao!"
Light burst out from his hands, illuminating the hillock, and the clouds looked down to find it.
here!
Yunqi really saw this kind of Wisteria and Polygonum multiflorum, which stretched out in a large area, with about seventeen or eighteen trees.
He dug five in a row, cut off the rhizomes, and flew away on a cloud.
In Lixi Village, people sitting by the campfire were still discussing what the fire was, when they saw Huoyun coming back.
There was a sharp-eyed child who immediately spotted the Taoist priest in the firelight as a new guest, and he shouted out loudly, causing the crowd to talk even louder.
Yunqi flew directly to the house and walked into the door. After entering the house, he remembered that the child was dying and could not eat. Although Yunqi was not good at alchemy, he still knew some basic methods. He summoned fire to refine a root into spiritual liquid, forced the child's mouth open, and poured it in. He didn't know if it would work, so he really tried his best.
Everyone stared at the child closely, not daring to breathe or even look at the clouds.
About half a cup of tea passed.
The mother, who had been holding the child's hand, suddenly screamed, and she seemed to have felt the child's pulse again.
The old village chief hurried forward, listened carefully and confirmed that the child was slowly "coming back to life".
The child's father fell to his knees at the feet of Yunqi, knocking his head against the ground with a loud thumping sound.
Yunqi quickly pulled the man up.
Several cock-comb warriors who were standing by the bed also ran away, laughing loudly and wanting to tell the news to other people in the village as soon as possible.
The doll in Donghuo's house was saved! The new guest is a fairy!
After seeing the child, the old village chief also wanted to kneel down. The young man was even more afraid to do so. He held up the old village chief with his hands, and the old village chief could not kneel down.
"If Mu Nai Gong wants to thank me, just give me more 'white knives'."
Yunqi smiled and said that in just a short while, he had fallen in love with this fiery liquor.
Hot tears flowed down the old village chief's dark face, and the old man nodded continuously.
This herb in the mountains can heal souls. Now it has only saved the baby in Donghuo’s family, but in the future, who knows how many people it will save!
At this time, the news reached the campfire, and the cheers were like a fire, driving away the silence and sadness of the village.
----
The next day, Yunqi woke up from bed, still feeling a little dizzy.
He walked outside. The sun was high in the sky and the sky was bright. Someone was working on the terrace opposite.
At the same time, he was surprised to find that Polygonum multiflorum had been planted on the gentle slope on the north side of the village, and the soil was still newly covered. It seemed that someone in the village went to dig vines on that hill as soon as daybreak.
Yunqi still exercises and eats air as usual.
Not long after, the old village chief came up with three people. Yunqi took a look and found that it was the Donghuonai family who had gone there last night. The child walked briskly and climbed the stairs without even taking a breath. It seemed that he was fully recovered.
The old village chief led the three people to the front of Yunqi, and all three knelt down.
Yunqi was about to help again, but was stopped by the old village chief, "This is what you should do."
Yunqi then accepted the greeting.
Dong Huo took out a white puppy from his arms. The puppy was curled up like a glutinous rice dumpling, with a pink mouth and nose, very cute. Dong Huo held it in both hands and handed it to Yunqi.
"This is?"
Yunqi looked at the old village chief.
The old village chief smiled and said, "The Donghuo family gave birth to Bai Long'er a few days ago. This is the eldest, with short hair, a red nose, strong ears and a clear mouth. It is the best appearance. In our Hongjiang Miao Village, roosters cannot be given as gifts, so giving Bai Long'er as a gift is the greatest etiquette and expresses the highest gratitude."
Yunqi scratched his forehead when he heard this and asked, "Do you want to raise a dog?"
