Chapter 51 A group of demons dance 43
There are many herbs in the valley. Chen Xiao led Shi Xianyu and Linyuan to collect them, and he taught them some knowledge to identify herbs.
Chen Xiao has been practicing Taoism since he was fifteen, and has been seventy years since now. His accumulation of seventy years of traveling around the country has made him very knowledgeable. In addition to swordsmanship and talismans, he also has some understanding of herbs.
"All things are mutually repelled, and antidotes often grow near poisons, sometimes even in the poison itself, because the nature and taste of many herbs are completely opposite. For example, the effect of ephedra is to cause sweating and promote diuresis, while the effect of ephedra root is to astringent and stop perspiration. For example, ginkgo poisoning, you can decoct ginkgo shells and take to relieve..."
Lin Yuan studied very seriously, and remembered the characteristics of the herbs in his hands while listening. Shi Xianyu was a little absent-minded. Her mind was full of deep and bitter love, and it was so miserable.
"The little fish's hand was injured. Just use this herb to mash it and apply it externally." Chen Xiao pointed to a plant in the grass and said, "Only the part of the leaves is needed, and you can pick more of it in the abyss."
Linyuan nodded and carefully collected leaves. Shi Xianyu also picked leaves with him.
Chen Xiao laughed at this and stopped her and said, "Didn't Xiaoyu listen? He picked the wrong leaves?"
"Ah?" Her cheeks were slightly hot, and she quickly peeked at the leaves picked by Linyuan again, and learned to him to pick them again.
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, don't worry about me. Do you think I'm fine?"
Shi Xianyu thought to himself: It is because you look so good, just like nothing, that I am more worried...
Chen Xiao seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled: "Little Fish, I didn't force myself to smile."
Shi Xianyu couldn't help asking: "Brother Shen, aren't you sad?"
Chen Xiao asked her: "Why are you sad?"
Shi Xianyu was confused, frowned and thought for a while, saying, "You only wanted to go to Lingshan for Miss An. You have so many years of looking for her everywhere, putting time and effort into it, and going through all kinds of dangers... Now that I finally saw her, I found that she already has something to do with you. Then you...
If Shi Xianyu is not good, he always feels that no matter how tactful it is, these words are still very hurtful.
Put yourself in your heart. If it were her, she would definitely not have let go so open-mindedly.
After listening to this, Chen Xiao still smiled faintly and said, "No matter whether I have met Miss An or not, I will embark on the road of cultivation. But she pushed me at a critical moment, making me more determined to go this path, so I thank her and miss her. Xiaoyu, I understand what you mean. You are worried that I will feel that I have made efforts for the past years and everything will be empty, but I have been doing well over the years. My practice has been growing, and every danger I encounter has also made me more diligent. Maybe I once had expectations for her, but life is my own. No matter whether I get or lose, it is me."
Shi Xianyu looked embarrassed. Look at the situation and the realm of others. If you want to be a god, Chen Xiao is probably more qualified than her.
"Brother Shen, I'm narrow-minded." She touched her face embarrassedly and whispered, "I just thought that you always remember Miss An in your heart, but you have no results with her, so I feel a little sad."
Chen Xiao looked at the endless sea of flowers in the distance, with a calm expression, "All kinds of love in this world, such as parents' love, master-apprentice love, brother-friendly love, sister-friendly love... There is no need for results, if you are obsessed with results, it will eventually become pain."
Shi Xianyu felt that he had to continue studying.
In the future, not only do you have to learn how to help others realize their wishes, but you also have to find ways to improve your level.
Not far away, An Yao suddenly flew into the air, and a blue light and shadow danced in the air with her dress.
Her expression showed some anxiety, and fell in front of Shen Xiao, Shi Xianyu, and Linyuan, and said, "Sorry, I wanted to introduce His Highness King Jing to you, but just now I heard an urgent report that a large area of bizarre white silk appeared in a village, and only one of the scouts sent survived. I must rush over and deal with it as soon as possible."
"White Silk?" Chen Xiao was stunned and asked her subconsciously, "But is near the Black Abyss Forest?"
An Yao was also stunned when she heard this, "Do you know?"
Chen Xiao looked at Shi Xianyu and Linyuan, "Is it the village of Wanji's family?"
Shi Xianyu said in surprise: "When we left, the village was obviously fine. Did the spores of the white fungus be brought into the village?"
An Yao hurriedly asked, "Do you know what's going on with those white silk?"
Chen Xiao explained: "Those white silks are poisonous mushroom plants. They originally grew deep in the Black Abyss forest. Once people touched them, they would be paralyzed and weak. When we passed through that village, all the white mushrooms had been burned. Unexpectedly, it spread to the village. It might be that some animals happened to carry their spores, which caused the village to suffer."
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but stop, frowned and murmured: "This is not right... White fungi will die when they encounter sunlight, and it is impossible to reproduce on a large scale in the village."
An Yao said to them earnestly: "Since you know so well about this white fungus, can you go with me?"
Chen Xiao said seriously: "This is natural, and it's not appropriate to go there, let's go now."
An Yao showed gratitude, "Thank you all!"
Although she was born delicate and pure, she was actually over 100 years old. Because she followed King Jing for many years and was very courageous in doing things, she immediately counted twenty light cavalrymen, plus two monks, and set out to the village where she was killed.
Among the two monks An Yao brought, there was a dwarf that Xianyu had seen last time. This person would shrink into an inch. He casts spells along the way. The journey that should have been completed in a few days was arrived in a short while.
While on the road, Shi Xianyu was still lucky and guessed that white silks that they had not found grew in other villages. However, as the scenery on the road became more and more familiar, Shi Xianyu's heart also hangs.
An Yao said to them: "The surviving scouts came back to report that the village had suffered a massacre and all the people were killed. If the spores were brought into the village by outsiders as you guessed, then it is very likely that they were brought by the gangsters."
Shi Xianyu's face turned pale, "How could the village be implicated when it is far away from the war?"
An Yao sighed deeply and replied: "Although the location is far away, if you encounter deserters and bandits, you will not be able to escape. This situation has happened elsewhere."
Shi Xianyu pursed her lips tightly, and suddenly felt timid in her heart. She was a little afraid to face... she didn't dare to face the current tragic situation in the village.
They soon arrived at the entrance of the village.
Black sticky objects can be seen everywhere.
An Yao may not know, but Shi Xianyu recognized that this is what the white fungus looks like after being exposed to sunlight. It will gradually dry and eventually turn into a part of the dust.
Continue to move forward, there are more and more black sticky objects, and blood stains and corpses are also coming into view.
These corpses included both innocent villagers and criminals attacking the village. From their clothes and weapons, it can be seen that they were indeed wandering deserters as An Yao said.
Thinking of the fact that I had celebrated and celebrating with everyone here not long ago, singing and dancing, but now there is only a piece of purgatory on earth. Shi Xianyu avoided his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it any longer.
At this moment, a soldier in front suddenly exclaimed: "There is a monster in the room!"
