"Miss Mantian, thank you. These are freshly picked from the ground, you can try something new." Several village women brought a lot of things to the medical center where Mantian was treating patients. Mantian had just sent away a group of patients. , I saw a few of them busy smiling and standing up to greet: "Aunts are better, I haven't finished eating the things you gave me last time, don't do this again in the future." Fruits and vegetables and eating, I can't help but have a black line.The medical center has become a rural supply and marketing cooperative. She has been in Bashan for a while. Although the spread of the plague has been controlled, the source of the disease has not been found.The villagers are very simple. Seeing her working hard to treat everyone's illnesses, they all regard her as a god and offer her up. Whoever has good things wants to send some to Mantian.
"It's all grown in our own land, and it's not worth a lot of money. The girl cured our illness, and we can survive because of the girl's kindness. Although we country people don't know much about the truth, we understand that the grace of dripping water springs from the spring." The truth is to report to each other." A village woman took out a bamboo tube and said to Man Tian: "I think girls like tea, this is a good tea from my mountain. In previous years, I had already harvested the tea, but this year I don't have the heart Do this. Waiting for the health of my head to recover, the season for picking tea leaves has passed. This is a few years ago when he went up to the mountain to visit, he found a few tea trees growing in the shade, and the buds had not yet grown, so he picked them carefully It’s fried, give the girl a taste.” Saying that, he stuffed the tea into Man Tian’s hand.
Man Tian wanted to decline, but a woman next to her said, "Aunt Ming's tea is famous for its quality. Her family has a good tea garden deep in the mountains. In previous years, the tea leaves from that tea garden were ordered by merchants before they could be picked. Let's go. Everyone is sick this year, so who cares about it. This tea is a rare and good thing, and it's also Aunt Ming's heart. Girls don't want anything else, but this tea is always accepted." All over the sky looked They thanked them with sincere eyes and accepted the tea leaves. The rest of the food, fruits, melons and vegetables were left all over the sky, and they asked them to take the rest back.
After a period of treatment, the spread of the plague has been brought under control, and the clinic is no longer full of patients as it used to be.Mantian just sat down with them and chatted while drinking tea.After coming here for a while, she had a better understanding of the situation in Bashan. The worst plague was only in this small town in the mountain. Although there were some infected people in other places, there were not as many people as here.I have asked all over the place about the people infected with the plague. Many of them have the experience of coming here before. It seems that the source of the plague is in this town.
"Our place is called Jinye Town. Although it is not big and remote, it is surrounded by mountains and rich in products. There is a clear water river running on the mountain all year round, and the river water can also irrigate the fields near the town. Therefore, it is also a place where you can eat and wear. Who Knowing Haohaodi suddenly fell ill with febrile disease, and many people died. Those merchants who came and went to collect mountain tea did not dare to come, and the town of Haohaodi fell into depression. Fortunately, the girl came to us to treat illnesses and save lives, otherwise this Everyone in the town has to leave their hometown to find a way out elsewhere." Aunt Ming sighed and talked about the history of this place.
Ever since Mantian came here, he found that this place is indeed a blessed place. The distribution of mountains and rivers is very good. According to the pattern, there should be no plagues. Moreover, the people in this place are simple and honest. Although there are a few sneaky people, But generally speaking, people's hearts are not bad, and their living habits are not bad. How could a plague suddenly appear? "It's really good for you to stand together. Although I am young, I have traveled a lot of places. If you don't have things in front of you, this town is a good place to live. Now that the plague has happened, don't you think of any way to save yourself? I I heard that you invited several experts to come and see, what did you say?"
An aunt sighed: "Speaking of which, there is a Golden Leaf Temple on the Jinye Ridge, and there is a Golden Leaf Grandma living in it. A good person who keeps one side safe. It’s just that when the plague came this time, we went to the mountain to look for her first, but there was no one in the Golden Leaf Temple, thinking that the Golden Leaf Granny was gone. Later, some monks and Taoist priests were invited to do it. , Some said that we angered the heavens, which was a sin from the heavens, and some said that there were monsters. But all kinds of methods have been used to no avail. Now it is the plague, but no one knows the reason. People are panicking."
Listening to their conversation, Mantian was concerned, she asked about the seat of Jinye Temple and the people who lived there before, and she decided to go to Jinye Temple sometime.This plague is too strange to be an accident.
At this time, an elderly woman suddenly remembered something, hurriedly took out a small flower pot from the basket and said to Man Tian: "I actually forgot, this is the treasure my grandson found for the girl." As he spoke, he handed it to Man Tian.There is a flower planted with moss and bark in a small flower pot. There are golden veins on the dark green leaves, as if the veins are not green juice but gold, shining in the sun, the grass There is a flower bud on the top, although no flowers can be seen, but there is a faint fragrance, Mantian knows that it is a precious thing.
"This thing is called a golden leaf barnacle, and it only exists in our mountain. The Golden Leaf Temple got its name because of this fairy grass. It is said that this thing can eat the body and lighten the body, and there are other benefits, but we live in the countryside. People only know that if they have a headache and brain fever, they can drink boiled water. The girl practices medicine to save people, and I think it is the best thing to give this girl. This thing is hard to find, and it needs to be grown in the canyons in the deep mountains. "Because Mantian saved her son and daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law took care of Mantian as her own granddaughter.
It turned out that this was the golden leaf barnacle. She had only seen dried ones in Changliu's pharmacy, but she did not expect the fresh golden leaf barnacle to be so cute.Sheng Xiaomo said that he came to look for this, so it might be nearby.Thinking of Sheng Xiaomo, Man Tian felt a little stabbed in his heart. He didn't know whether he came to find her under cover, or if he really came to look for the golden leaf barnacle.Since leaving the boat that day, Mantian has never seen Sheng Xiaomo again.Or he has already got the medicinal materials he wants, so let's go back to Changliu.What a narrow-minded person!Man Tian snorted dissatisfied in his heart, and still talked to the aunts and aunts.
She seemed to have a premonition that there must be an invisible black hand manipulating everything behind the rampant plague in the town.After a while, all the ladies left, and some patients came for follow-up visits.By the time the work was over, the sky was getting dark, Man Tian helped the doctor close the gate of the clinic, and it started to rain patter outside. "Miss Ni, please rest. This epidemic in the town is thanks to the help of the girl. I have practiced medicine for many years, and I have also studied the pharmacology of self-control, but only after seeing the prescription drawn up by the girl, I know that there are strong hands in the strong. I am just a frog at the bottom of the well." That's all. I've been thinking about it for a few days, and there are some things I need to ask for advice." The owner of the clinic, Doctor Wang, is a very experienced old doctor. He lives with his wife and a young grandson, and he is very concerned about appearing in the town at times of crisis. Man Tian, who helped everyone to treat illnesses, and Dr. Wang, from the distrust at the beginning, has now regarded Man Tian as a friend who forgets years.
"It's not that I'm good at it, it's really my master who taught me well. Mr. Wang, just say what you have to say. As a junior, I will naturally listen to you." Sitting under the lamp, Man Tian and Dr. Wang began to pay attention to medical principles and formulating prescriptions.
"The prescription I prescribed to treat the plague at the beginning is similar to the one prescribed by the girl at the beginning. Although the patient improved after taking it, the root cause of the disease could not be cured. This problem also occurred when the girl first came. Later, you changed the prescription. Zi, the effect is getting better. I would like to ask the girl on what basis you changed the prescription. You removed the medicines that were used to purify the original prescription, but added some medicinal materials that strengthen the body, eliminate evil and strengthen the root. Why? Instead of waiting for their condition to stabilize and then draw up a prescription for recuperation, we have to make one." Although Doctor Wang is old, she has a good spirit of research, and she has been studying the sky-high prescriptions for the past few days.
"I checked their pulse and found that this plague is different from common plagues. Generally, plagues are caused by external factors and anger in the human body, so they get sick. But I found that the people here eat light food. The town has beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. , everyone is living and working in peace and contentment, everyone is in a happy mood, willing to do good deeds, and the peaceful energy in their bodies is flourishing. Therefore, the medicines that are taken down can only damage their righteous energy, and can only make their bodies weaker and weaker, unable to resist the invasion of evil spirits from outside. Therefore I removed those cold and strong medicines. I can't figure out where the evil spirit of the plague came from this time. Mr. Dare, has there been a plague in this place before? Is there something cold and damp around here? Is there a place?" The living habits of the local people are fairly healthy, and the living environment is also clean and tidy. It is really impossible to find out where the origin of the plague is.To cure a disease, treat the symptoms and the root cause. She cured the illness of the villagers, but did not eradicate the root cause of the disease. Waiting for her to go, the plague may break out again.
The two of them studied for half the night, but still had no clue. The next morning, before dawn, the sky was woken up by a sudden knock on the door. The old lady who gave her the golden leaf barnacle yesterday had an anxious expression on her face. Come in, grabbed Man Tian and said: "It's not good, girl, go and see my grandson!" She was about to kneel down, and Man Tian hurriedly grabbed her: "It was fine yesterday, why suddenly it's not good, he is now What are the symptoms, don't worry, I'll take a look with you right away." Mantian walked with her mother-in-law carrying the medicine box.
"Yesterday was fine. He said a few days ago that his livelihood was delayed because of the plague. The day before yesterday, he went to the mountains to collect herbs. He only came back yesterday morning. He happily told me that he had picked a lot of good things. The golden He got the barnacle leaf, and it was fine all afternoon. When I ate at night, I said I had no appetite, so I ate some porridge and went to bed. I thought it was because I was tired from going up the mountain, but I didn’t think much about it. Started to have a fever, vomiting and diarrhea, talking nonsense, before dawn this morning, I was out of shape!" The woman was crying sadly, begging all over the sky to save her grandson.
Looking all over the sky at the patients lying on the bed, Ah Cheng, a young man who was alive and well the day before yesterday, was lying on the bed dying. wearing something.After taking the pulse, Man Tian's brows frowned more and more tightly. The pulse was dangerous, just like those who were infected with the plague.It's just that after treating so many people, Mantian hasn't found anyone with such severe symptoms.Listening to my mother-in-law saying that Ah Cheng fell ill when he came out of the mountain, it seems that the source of the plague is in the mountain.
Man Tian took out a small bottle from the medicine box, poured out a few pills of medicine and fed it in. At this time, Ah Cheng's mother brought a bowl of water and fed his son a few mouthfuls. Ah Cheng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly changed his face. , coughed a few times, and spit out all the medicine he had just taken, Ah Cheng suddenly let out a scream, spit out a mouthful of blood, and immediately passed out.Everyone present was startled, and his family members burst into tears. They stabbed Ah Cheng's acupoints with silver needles all over the sky, and finally stabilized his condition for the time being.Taking a long look at the half bowl of water on the bedside, she picked it up and smelled it, and sometimes there was an imperceptible fishy smell.
"Do you drink this every day?" Good tea is produced here, and good tea cannot be grown in water with a fishy smell. "The town is high in the east and low in the west, and wells are drilled in the east. The terrain here is low and it is very close to the river. Everyone goes to the river to fetch water for food. There is a river behind my house. Where do they fetch water from?" Ah Cheng's mother looked at her dying son on the bed with despair in her eyes.
Man Tian got closer and smelled it carefully, and her heart tightened. There was really something wrong with the water. When she was sorting out the prescriptions these days, she found that there were obviously more sick people in the west of the town than in the east. It seemed that the drinking water was blocked. polluted. "This river flows out of the mountain, right? Where is the source? Doctor Wang, please go and tell the folks not to drink the water in the river. I'll stabilize Ah Cheng's condition first, and go into the mountain to have a look." " Man Tian is determined to go to the mountains to investigate, maybe there will be amazing discoveries.
Dr. Wang promised to leave in a hurry. Ah Cheng, who had just settled down, suddenly writhed on the bed, talking nonsense: "My lord, please forgive me. Come here..." Ah Cheng closed his eyes, with a distorted expression on his face, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it vigorously in mid-air, his appearance was really frightening, and he saw that Ah Cheng's skin was turning into a frightening blue, this was not a plague at all, He was detained by magic and poisoned by corpses.
Man Tian immobilized Ah Cheng's soul with silver needles, she took out the solution and poured it down on Ah Cheng, soon Ah Cheng slowly woke up, Man Tian gave him some requiem and calming medicine, Ah Cheng finally recovered It's normal now.Seeing this, Ah Cheng's family knelt down to thank Mantian for saving his life. "Get up, it's just my job, please don't do this. Ah Cheng, can you talk now? I have something to ask you." Man Tian looked at Ah Cheng who was struggling to get up and stopped him.
The next morning, Dr. Wang followed Mantian all the way to the outside of the town, and there was a dark mountain in front of him. Ah Cheng handed a backpack to Mantian, and said worriedly: "The Niuniu Mountain is very dangerous, even if there is no monster, There are also beasts, and it’s not safe for you to go in alone.”
"Don't worry, I will be careful. You just don't want to enter the mountain again. Can you be sure that those corpses are in that cave? What else is there in that cave besides corpses?" Ah Cheng and Mantian said yesterday that he was in this river In a cave upstream, the body of a person who died of the plague in the town was found. He ate it and hurried home.Before returning to the town, A Chengha went to the cemetery outside the town to look at it, but there was no sign of being passive in the cemetery. A Cheng thought he was wrong.After hearing Ah Cheng's words, Man Tian took people to the cemetery to dig up the graves of the people who died of the plague, but was surprised to find that the cemetery was empty and the corpses were gone.
It is not something ordinary people can do to steal a corpse without anyone noticing it.Man Tian felt that the cave where the dead bodies were mentioned by Ah Cheng was suspicious, so she decided to go into the mountain to find out the situation herself.
Man Tian said goodbye to Dr. Wang, Ah Cheng, with a basket on his back, and walked towards the deep mountain alone. Soon the town was left behind, and the road in front of him was slowly covered by vines and weeds. The faint light that comes down can barely discern where the road is.
Man Tian stood still and took out a silver rice distribution box from her body. She opened the rice distribution box after making sure that there was no one around. It flew out of the box, and stretched along the almost invisible path towards the deep mountain.Ah Cheng's path yesterday appeared in front of him.She is just a Taoist nun in front of people, and she cannot reveal that she knows magic in front of ordinary people. This is a long-standing rule.Mantian performed a magical spell, and all of a sudden, his feet seemed to be flying through the clouds and fog, and he quickly followed the shining path to find the cave. '
The forest in front of me became more and more dense. I heard the sound of lingling water all the way, and the sound of water became clearer as I got closer to the cave. I stopped and looked at the surrounding environment. This is in the deepest part of the canyon, and there are high peaks on both sides. The trees are lush, the forest is densely covered with vines, and there are few people.The roots of the trees reach out to the ground to extract water vapor, and the water vapor permeates the valley through the evaporation of leaves. The peaks on both sides are too high, and the water vapor turns into rain and dew when it encounters cold air at high altitude. This is an extremely humid place. place.The sunlight above his head is shielded by the canopy of trees, and the dead branches and dead leaves and dead animals have accumulated for thousands of years under his feet. It is no wonder that Ah Cheng collected golden leaf barnacles in this place.The cave was covered by many vines, if it wasn't for a small stream flowing out of it, it would not be easy to find a deep cave behind the vines.
Man Tian put down the basket she was carrying, summoned her pure Jun sword, and walked into the cave. As soon as she stepped into the foot of the cave, there was a faint crackling sound. Man Tian looked down and found that she stepped on a dry branch, and a drop of water splashed It fell in front of her with a click.Man Tian was angry with a question, why are there dry branches in such a humid place?
Turning his eyes, thinking about it, the sky disappeared, a little bat flapped its wings and flew into the bottomless cave, and flew in for half a meal, the front of the eyes opened up, a deep pool appear in front of your eyes.The little bats disappeared, and appeared all over the edge of the pool.Ah Cheng said that he went into the cave, but he found that the pool was filled with the corpses of people who died from the plague. The pool was bottomless, the water surface did not fluctuate at all, and the fishy smell on the tip of his nose became stronger.
Mantian originally wanted to throw a stone into the water, but Mantian changed his mind at the last moment. He took out a talisman from his arms and muttered something in his mouth. The flames burned bigger and bigger, and finally the entire water surface was cooled by the flames.At this time, a terrible change occurred on the surface of the water. It was still a pool of stagnant water just now, but now ripples began to appear on the surface of the water. The ripples on the surface of the water turned out to be bigger, and finally the whole cave vibrated accordingly.
There was a lot of chanting, the splash of water became bigger, there was a huge roar from the depths of the water, and many pale corpses floated up. The plague has been going on for a while, and these corpses were all buried and soaked in the water for a long time .But what is surprising is that these corpses have not been damaged in any way, their faces are lifelike, and there is no sign of being bloated.
Someone is using these dead people to practice sorcery!With a wave of the long sword all over the sky, the sword energy rushed towards the depths of the pool, the whole cave trembled, and the water surface returned to calm. "Hmph, I dare not come out." Man Tian said to herself, she thought it was some kind of monster, but it was just a turtle with a shrinking head.Man Tian roughly counted the corpses on the water, and the number was similar to the missing ones. Man Tian was thinking about getting these corpses to the shore, when suddenly there was a faint cry for help from the water.
An old woman and a girl on the water were struggling to ask for help from Man Tian on the shore. "Who are you?" Mantian looked at the two pale-faced people who were almost collapsed, and lit a bonfire outside the cave. The two survivors were shivering around the fire. "Thank you, young hero, for saving us. We are cultivators on Jinye Ridge." After drinking some hot water, the two of them got better.
It turned out that it was Jinye Grandma of Jinye Temple and her apprentice Lan Yu who saved Mantian. Knowing Mantian's true identity, Jinye Granny said with some surprise: "It turns out that he is a disciple of Changliu, and he is really powerful in spells. Fortunately, he is an immortal." Help us out, otherwise we, master and apprentice, will die in the pool."
Asking all over the sky about the cause and effect of the incident, Grandma Jinye told them one by one. It turned out that there was a black-headed snake in a pool that had been cultivated to a fine level. He wanted to occupy this place to practice. And the corpses of the dead villagers were hidden in the deep pool to practice evil methods.Granny Jinye's cultivation base is too low, she has never beaten this snake spirit, but was caught by the snake spirit with her apprentice, and wanted to absorb their skills to practice, but fortunately, all over the sky came and scared away the snake spirit and their master Only disciples can be rescued.
Grandma Jinye's apprentice, Lan Yu, had already calmed down. She thanked Mantian softly. Mantian saw that she was also a little girl, with a thin body, a delicate slapped face, and dark hair. Messy, timid, I feel pity.Grandma Jinye's cultivation is not very good, and her apprentice seems to be a beginner with little mana.Otherwise, their master and apprentice couldn't even beat a snake spirit. "You don't have to thank me. These are some medicines to nourish vitality. Take them immediately and they will restore your strength quickly. Did that snake spirit run away or hide?" Man Tian handed Granny Jinye a few medicines, and took out some dried medicine. Change clothes for their master and apprentice.
"The deep pool in the cave is connected to the lake in front of it. When the monster's cultivation was reaching a critical point, he was suddenly injured by his sister's sword energy, and he escaped from the injury." Lan Yu is a sweet-talking girl named Sister Man Tian. It's very smooth.
Taking stock of the situation, Man Tian decided to go to the deep pool where Snake Jing hid to explore the situation.She asked Grandma Jinye to take Lan Yu back to the town first, and asked someone to come here to take the missing corpses back for reburial.Lan Yu watched Man Tian stand up holding the sword and hurriedly grabbed Man Tian's sleeve, and said worriedly: "That snake spirit is very powerful, sister, be careful."
"It's okay, before the snake essence is successfully cultivated, I just take advantage of this time to get rid of it." Mantian was about to leave while talking.After separating from Granny Jinye's teacher and apprentice, Mantian quickly found the deep pool. This is a lake among the mountains, and it is also a good place to collect spiritual energy from heaven and earth to practice.
Staring at the water all over the sky and thinking about what to do next, suddenly Sheng Xiaomo's voice came from behind him: "Don't act rashly, haven't you checked those corpses? I don’t know, it would be very dangerous to try so rashly.”
"It's all grown in our own land, and it's not worth a lot of money. The girl cured our illness, and we can survive because of the girl's kindness. Although we country people don't know much about the truth, we understand that the grace of dripping water springs from the spring." The truth is to report to each other." A village woman took out a bamboo tube and said to Man Tian: "I think girls like tea, this is a good tea from my mountain. In previous years, I had already harvested the tea, but this year I don't have the heart Do this. Waiting for the health of my head to recover, the season for picking tea leaves has passed. This is a few years ago when he went up to the mountain to visit, he found a few tea trees growing in the shade, and the buds had not yet grown, so he picked them carefully It’s fried, give the girl a taste.” Saying that, he stuffed the tea into Man Tian’s hand.
Man Tian wanted to decline, but a woman next to her said, "Aunt Ming's tea is famous for its quality. Her family has a good tea garden deep in the mountains. In previous years, the tea leaves from that tea garden were ordered by merchants before they could be picked. Let's go. Everyone is sick this year, so who cares about it. This tea is a rare and good thing, and it's also Aunt Ming's heart. Girls don't want anything else, but this tea is always accepted." All over the sky looked They thanked them with sincere eyes and accepted the tea leaves. The rest of the food, fruits, melons and vegetables were left all over the sky, and they asked them to take the rest back.

Aunt Ming sighed and talked about the history of this place.

As he spoke, he handed it to Man Tian.There is a flower planted with moss and bark in a small flower pot. There are golden veins on the dark green leaves, as if the veins are not green juice but gold, shining in the sun, the grass There is a flower bud on the top, although no flowers can be seen, but there is a faint fragrance, Mantian knows that it is a precious thing.

She seemed to have a premonition that there must be an invisible black hand manipulating everything behind the rampant plague in the town.After a while, all the ladies left, and some patients came for follow-up visits.By the time the work was over, the sky was getting dark, Man Tian helped the doctor close the gate of the clinic, and it started to rain patter outside.

She cured the illness of the villagers, but did not eradicate the root cause of the disease. Waiting for her to go, the plague may break out again.
The two of them studied for half the night, but still had no clue. The next morning, before dawn, the sky was woken up by a sudden knock on the door. The old lady who gave her the golden leaf barnacle yesterday had an anxious expression on her face. Come in, grabbed Man Tian and said: "It's not good, girl, go and see my grandson!" She was about to kneel down, and Man Tian hurriedly grabbed her: "It was fine yesterday, why suddenly it's not good, he is now What are the symptoms, don't worry, I'll take a look with you right away." Mantian walked with her mother-in-law carrying the medicine box.
"Yesterday was fine. He said a few days ago that his livelihood was delayed because of the plague. The day before yesterday, he went to the mountains to collect herbs. He only came back yesterday morning. He happily told me that he had picked a lot of good things. The golden He got the barnacle leaf, and it was fine all afternoon. When I ate at night, I said I had no appetite, so I ate some porridge and went to bed. I thought it was because I was tired from going up the mountain, but I didn’t think much about it. Started to have a fever, vomiting and diarrhea, talking nonsense, before dawn this morning, I was out of shape!" The woman was crying sadly, begging all over the sky to save her grandson.
Looking all over the sky at the patients lying on the bed, Ah Cheng, a young man who was alive and well the day before yesterday, was lying on the bed dying. wearing something.After taking the pulse, Man Tian's brows frowned more and more tightly. The pulse was dangerous, just like those who were infected with the plague.It's just that after treating so many people, Mantian hasn't found anyone with such severe symptoms.Listening to my mother-in-law saying that Ah Cheng fell ill when he came out of the mountain, it seems that the source of the plague is in the mountain.
Man Tian took out a small bottle from the medicine box, poured out a few pills of medicine and fed it in. At this time, Ah Cheng's mother brought a bowl of water and fed his son a few mouthfuls. Ah Cheng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly changed his face. , coughed a few times, and spit out all the medicine he had just taken, Ah Cheng suddenly let out a scream, spit out a mouthful of blood, and immediately passed out.Everyone present was startled, and his family members burst into tears. They stabbed Ah Cheng's acupoints with silver needles all over the sky, and finally stabilized his condition for the time being.Taking a long look at the half bowl of water on the bedside, she picked it up and smelled it, and sometimes there was an imperceptible fishy smell.
"Do you drink this every day?" Good tea is produced here, and good tea cannot be grown in water with a fishy smell. "The town is high in the east and low in the west, and wells are drilled in the east. The terrain here is low and it is very close to the river. Everyone goes to the river to fetch water for food. There is a river behind my house. Where do they fetch water from?" Ah Cheng's mother looked at her dying son on the bed with despair in her eyes.
Man Tian got closer and smelled it carefully, and her heart tightened. There was really something wrong with the water. When she was sorting out the prescriptions these days, she found that there were obviously more sick people in the west of the town than in the east. It seemed that the drinking water was blocked. polluted. "This river flows out of the mountain, right? Where is the source? Doctor Wang, please go and tell the folks not to drink the water in the river. I'll stabilize Ah Cheng's condition first, and go into the mountain to have a look." " Man Tian is determined to go to the mountains to investigate, maybe there will be amazing discoveries.
Dr. Wang promised to leave in a hurry. Ah Cheng, who had just settled down, suddenly writhed on the bed, talking nonsense: "My lord, please forgive me. Come here..." Ah Cheng closed his eyes, with a distorted expression on his face, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it vigorously in mid-air, his appearance was really frightening, and he saw that Ah Cheng's skin was turning into a frightening blue, this was not a plague at all, He was detained by magic and poisoned by corpses.
Man Tian immobilized Ah Cheng's soul with silver needles, she took out the solution and poured it down on Ah Cheng, soon Ah Cheng slowly woke up, Man Tian gave him some requiem and calming medicine, Ah Cheng finally recovered It's normal now.Seeing this, Ah Cheng's family knelt down to thank Mantian for saving his life. "Get up, it's just my job, please don't do this. Ah Cheng, can you talk now? I have something to ask you." Man Tian looked at Ah Cheng who was struggling to get up and stopped him.
The next morning, Dr. Wang followed Mantian all the way to the outside of the town, and there was a dark mountain in front of him. Ah Cheng handed a backpack to Mantian, and said worriedly: "The Niuniu Mountain is very dangerous, even if there is no monster, There are also beasts, and it’s not safe for you to go in alone.”
"Don't worry, I will be careful. You just don't want to enter the mountain again. Can you be sure that those corpses are in that cave? What else is there in that cave besides corpses?" Ah Cheng and Mantian said yesterday that he was in this river In a cave upstream, the body of a person who died of the plague in the town was found. He ate it and hurried home.Before returning to the town, A Chengha went to the cemetery outside the town to look at it, but there was no sign of being passive in the cemetery. A Cheng thought he was wrong.After hearing Ah Cheng's words, Man Tian took people to the cemetery to dig up the graves of the people who died of the plague, but was surprised to find that the cemetery was empty and the corpses were gone.
It is not something ordinary people can do to steal a corpse without anyone noticing it.Man Tian felt that the cave where the dead bodies were mentioned by Ah Cheng was suspicious, so she decided to go into the mountain to find out the situation herself.
Man Tian said goodbye to Dr. Wang, Ah Cheng, with a basket on his back, and walked towards the deep mountain alone. Soon the town was left behind, and the road in front of him was slowly covered by vines and weeds. The faint light that comes down can barely discern where the road is.
Man Tian stood still and took out a silver rice distribution box from her body. She opened the rice distribution box after making sure that there was no one around. It flew out of the box, and stretched along the almost invisible path towards the deep mountain.Ah Cheng's path yesterday appeared in front of him.She is just a Taoist nun in front of people, and she cannot reveal that she knows magic in front of ordinary people. This is a long-standing rule.Mantian performed a magical spell, and all of a sudden, his feet seemed to be flying through the clouds and fog, and he quickly followed the shining path to find the cave. '
The forest in front of me became more and more dense. I heard the sound of lingling water all the way, and the sound of water became clearer as I got closer to the cave. I stopped and looked at the surrounding environment. This is in the deepest part of the canyon, and there are high peaks on both sides. The trees are lush, the forest is densely covered with vines, and there are few people.The roots of the trees reach out to the ground to extract water vapor, and the water vapor permeates the valley through the evaporation of leaves. The peaks on both sides are too high, and the water vapor turns into rain and dew when it encounters cold air at high altitude. This is an extremely humid place. place.The sunlight above his head is shielded by the canopy of trees, and the dead branches and dead leaves and dead animals have accumulated for thousands of years under his feet. It is no wonder that Ah Cheng collected golden leaf barnacles in this place.The cave was covered by many vines, if it wasn't for a small stream flowing out of it, it would not be easy to find a deep cave behind the vines.
Man Tian put down the basket she was carrying, summoned her pure Jun sword, and walked into the cave. As soon as she stepped into the foot of the cave, there was a faint crackling sound. Man Tian looked down and found that she stepped on a dry branch, and a drop of water splashed It fell in front of her with a click.Man Tian was angry with a question, why are there dry branches in such a humid place?
Turning his eyes, thinking about it, the sky disappeared, a little bat flapped its wings and flew into the bottomless cave, and flew in for half a meal, the front of the eyes opened up, a deep pool appear in front of your eyes.The little bats disappeared, and appeared all over the edge of the pool.Ah Cheng said that he went into the cave, but he found that the pool was filled with the corpses of people who died from the plague. The pool was bottomless, the water surface did not fluctuate at all, and the fishy smell on the tip of his nose became stronger.
Mantian originally wanted to throw a stone into the water, but Mantian changed his mind at the last moment. He took out a talisman from his arms and muttered something in his mouth. The flames burned bigger and bigger, and finally the entire water surface was cooled by the flames.At this time, a terrible change occurred on the surface of the water. It was still a pool of stagnant water just now, but now ripples began to appear on the surface of the water. The ripples on the surface of the water turned out to be bigger, and finally the whole cave vibrated accordingly.
There was a lot of chanting, the splash of water became bigger, there was a huge roar from the depths of the water, and many pale corpses floated up. The plague has been going on for a while, and these corpses were all buried and soaked in the water for a long time .But what is surprising is that these corpses have not been damaged in any way, their faces are lifelike, and there is no sign of being bloated.
Someone is using these dead people to practice sorcery!With a wave of the long sword all over the sky, the sword energy rushed towards the depths of the pool, the whole cave trembled, and the water surface returned to calm. "Hmph, I dare not come out." Man Tian said to herself, she thought it was some kind of monster, but it was just a turtle with a shrinking head.Man Tian roughly counted the corpses on the water, and the number was similar to the missing ones. Man Tian was thinking about getting these corpses to the shore, when suddenly there was a faint cry for help from the water.
An old woman and a girl on the water were struggling to ask for help from Man Tian on the shore. "Who are you?" Mantian looked at the two pale-faced people who were almost collapsed, and lit a bonfire outside the cave. The two survivors were shivering around the fire. "Thank you, young hero, for saving us. We are cultivators on Jinye Ridge." After drinking some hot water, the two of them got better.
It turned out that it was Jinye Grandma of Jinye Temple and her apprentice Lan Yu who saved Mantian. Knowing Mantian's true identity, Jinye Granny said with some surprise: "It turns out that he is a disciple of Changliu, and he is really powerful in spells. Fortunately, he is an immortal." Help us out, otherwise we, master and apprentice, will die in the pool."
Asking all over the sky about the cause and effect of the incident, Grandma Jinye told them one by one. It turned out that there was a black-headed snake in a pool that had been cultivated to a fine level. He wanted to occupy this place to practice. And the corpses of the dead villagers were hidden in the deep pool to practice evil methods.Granny Jinye's cultivation base is too low, she has never beaten this snake spirit, but was caught by the snake spirit with her apprentice, and wanted to absorb their skills to practice, but fortunately, all over the sky came and scared away the snake spirit and their master Only disciples can be rescued.
Grandma Jinye's apprentice, Lan Yu, had already calmed down. She thanked Mantian softly. Mantian saw that she was also a little girl, with a thin body, a delicate slapped face, and dark hair. Messy, timid, I feel pity.Grandma Jinye's cultivation is not very good, and her apprentice seems to be a beginner with little mana.Otherwise, their master and apprentice couldn't even beat a snake spirit. "You don't have to thank me. These are some medicines to nourish vitality. Take them immediately and they will restore your strength quickly. Did that snake spirit run away or hide?" Man Tian handed Granny Jinye a few medicines, and took out some dried medicine. Change clothes for their master and apprentice.
"The deep pool in the cave is connected to the lake in front of it. When the monster's cultivation was reaching a critical point, he was suddenly injured by his sister's sword energy, and he escaped from the injury." Lan Yu is a sweet-talking girl named Sister Man Tian. It's very smooth.
Taking stock of the situation, Man Tian decided to go to the deep pool where Snake Jing hid to explore the situation.She asked Grandma Jinye to take Lan Yu back to the town first, and asked someone to come here to take the missing corpses back for reburial.Lan Yu watched Man Tian stand up holding the sword and hurriedly grabbed Man Tian's sleeve, and said worriedly: "That snake spirit is very powerful, sister, be careful."
"It's okay, before the snake essence is successfully cultivated, I just take advantage of this time to get rid of it." Mantian was about to leave while talking.After separating from Granny Jinye's teacher and apprentice, Mantian quickly found the deep pool. This is a lake among the mountains, and it is also a good place to collect spiritual energy from heaven and earth to practice.
Staring at the water all over the sky and thinking about what to do next, suddenly Sheng Xiaomo's voice came from behind him: "Don't act rashly, haven't you checked those corpses? I don’t know, it would be very dangerous to try so rashly.”
