Chapter 34: The East, West, Yin and Yang are busy raising blood
After three or two days of busy running around in the mountains and forests, and experiencing several life and death adventures, our clothes and pants were all stained with dirt and blood, and our shoes were full of mud.
Before entering the village, I hid all the shotguns and knives on my body. It didn't look like some gang organization. The male owner of this farmer's family had already kicked us out.
Friends who have no experience in rural areas or in the wild may not know much about using grass to solve the problem of wiping buttocks. Because the grass is not wiped very clean, it emits an unpleasant odor, like a beggar, which makes the first thing we open.
Every family dislikes us very much.
During the communication with the villagers, we learned that this is the boundary of Baokang.
Unknowingly, we not only walked out of Heizhugou, but also crossed 4 towns, 4 townships, a national forest park, countless high mountains and ravines, and arrived at the northern edge of Shennongjia. My first reaction was of course
It is impossible. The Shennongjia forest area covers a vast area, with dense forests and hundreds of miles of mountains. Let alone walking, even driving, it is impossible to go so fast in this forest area with winding mountain roads.
Faced with our doubts, the villagers quickly called over the captain of their brigade (a natural village, belonging to the brigade).
After confirmation from several people, we finally realized what a magical thing we had experienced, but we did not say much to the villagers here. Almost everyone here was injured, and we begged the villagers to find a car to take us to a nearby village health clinic.
We went to the hospital or the town hospital. Because we were all strangers, the already unsophisticated villagers were obviously a little reluctant. But fortunately, Zamao Xiaodao and I didn’t lose our backpacks. We scraped together some money and finally got them to nod.
, drove a small agricultural truck and pulled a group of nine of us into the township.
We stayed in the township hospital for one night, and Wan Sanye called his family members in Badong to report that they were safe. Early the next morning, we were transferred to the hospital in Xiangyang (still called Xiangfan in late 2008) for treatment. Wan Sanye
The third master’s family members also came overnight to arrange relevant matters.
Zamao Xiaodao and I both suffered some external injuries. After a few days of rest, nothing would happen. Although Wan Chaodong, Wan Chaoxin, Wan Yong and others were poisoned, with the yellow fruit to detoxify, they only caused
He is physically weak, exhausted, and also has some symptoms of fever and cold - this is considered good; although people with small butts are small, they are full of energy and can recover faster than us.
The most serious one is Wan Sanye, followed by Wan Chaoan and Xiaojun.
Zamao Xiaodao told me that Wan Sanye's ghost is indeed his "corpse god".
This corpse god is also called Peng Qiao. He is in the foot of a person and makes people scratch at the pass. The five pure spirits move bravely and the evil spirits cannot restrain themselves. Ancient books once said that being able to kill any one of the three corpses is a rare feat in this world.
It is naturally impossible for a man of Taoism and a unique genius to follow Wan Sanye's way of doing things. Perhaps Mr. Wan had some adventure and peeled off this incomplete body of the corpse god. That is exactly what happened.
The disappearance of the ghost caused great damage to his soul.
Xiaojun suffered from muscle strain due to being hung upside down from the beam, and there were some hidden injuries in his body. In addition, he was tired and mentally exhausted all the way, so he developed a high fever. Wan Chaoan suffered from coughing and hemoptysis due to kidney yin deficiency.
I was so frightened that I couldn't get sick after being admitted to the hospital.
Zamao Xiaodao and I stayed in the hospital for two days and then were discharged. We found a hotel in the city to stay.
The tiger cat woke up early that night. There was nothing serious about it. It was just because Wan Chaoan's sudden voice caused the space to become chaotic. For a moment, his soul was shocked, his mind was unstable, and he fell to the ground.
When talking about this matter, the Lord was full of resentment and cursed him with the slogan "Silly Boy" from morning to night without stopping. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Wan Chaoan, who was like a fool.
After cursing these words, the master flew out, saying that he was going to find a way to stabilize his soul.
Mr. Wan San’s youngest son arrived at the hospital the next afternoon. After greetings, we found out that he was a forty-six-year-old working for the uncle of the Xiao family. He helped find the relevant departments for subsequent investigation and evaluation.
This undoubtedly made us feel a lot more relaxed.
Xiaojun also left with us on the second day after we were discharged from the hospital, quietly and without saying hello to any of us here.
The nurse at the hospital told me that three men with fierce faces picked him up. They took Xiaojun and left without going through any formalities at all. I guessed that those people might be the remaining members of the Seventeen Arhats of Yubeitang mentioned by Li Tangcheng.
A few of them.
The risks in their profession are really high. Seventeen men who were high-spirited back then are now buried in a few cups of loess. I don’t know where they are buried, and only five of them are left. How desolate is it? At that time, I did not expect that I would still be with this ""
"Seventeen Arhats of Yubeitang" no matter how I deal with him, I just sigh in my heart and don't have much intention of understanding.
Although we were discharged from the hospital, we still visited Wan Sanye every day.
The old man experienced the disappearance of ghosts and was very depressed. However, what made him even more sad was the disappearance of his beloved disciple Zhao Zhonghua. Although the two had not seen each other for nearly ten years, the relationship between master and disciple did not weaken by half. Zhao
Since Zhonghua chased Zhou Lin away, he has not appeared again, and his life and death are unknown. This makes Mr. Wan San very worried - Lao Zhao went missing to help him find his nephew and grandson, which makes Mr. Wan feel guilty.
He kept asking his youngest son to come forward and find his beloved apprentice through connections. Zhao Zhonghua's identity was public, so naturally some people were anxious. His youngest son was also unequivocal. He kept making phone calls and contacting many parties to help organize manpower and go into the mountains to search.
But there was no news from the shopkeeper for a whole week. This matter made us a little desperate.
To be honest, as a friend, the shopkeeper is indeed a very nice guy.
Because we still need to be treated, we did not leave here. Although we experienced life and death this time, were injured, and died, we finally got some benefits. Duoduo and Fatty Bugs only got more benefits, and the most important thing was convenience.
It's the lightning-struck peach wood from the Zamao Trail, which is an excellent material for making peach wood swords. Lao Xiao was so fond of it that he even held it in the hospital ward and refused to let go, for fear that someone would snatch it away from him.
Making a mahogany sword is not just about cutting out a wooden sword. It must be calculated based on the grain direction, age and characteristics of the tree core, how to best bring out its effectiveness, and the sword-making process is also very special.
It is complicated and can be roughly divided into six major steps: "water removal, soaking, shaping, seal carving, polishing, and soul worship." Each step here is very particular. If a step is missing or the work is not done to perfection, this rare product may be wasted.
s material.
The next three steps of the miscellaneous path can be done by yourself, but the first three are a bit reluctant. If you want to come up with a high-quality sword, you must ask a specialized sword-making master to work on it. According to the properties of the material, he will determine the process flow and complete the first part.
Then it was left to Zamao Xiaodao to raise the sword.
Yes, this peach wood sword is just like jade. If it wants to be spiritual, it needs someone to take care of it.
He told me that the old master who made the Lightning Strike Zaomu Sword for his third uncle twenty years ago is still alive today. Once the matter on my side is settled, he will go to the old master to help him make a cool sword.
Take the Taomu Sword, and then give it a powerful name, so that you can use it to travel around the world.
I agreed that I would go and see it together if I had the chance.
We stayed in the city for nearly ten days. Wan Chaoxin, Wan Chaodong, Wan Yong and Wan Chaoan left the hospital one after another and returned to Badong.
Mr. Wan Sanye was in better spirits and wanted to go home from the hospital, but his youngest son disagreed. Although he returned to the border area a few days later because of his busy schedule, he brought his wife over to watch over the old man.
, he was not allowed to leave, which made Mr. Wan San angry several times, but in the end he had no choice but to obey.
Mr. Wan San still remembered what happened to me and went to his ward specifically to find me. He explained to me the medicinal materials needed in the prescription and asked me to look for some of them in the next few days. In addition to dragon fern grass and wormwood gallbladder,
In addition, most of what he mentioned can be found in traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies. It is not difficult to find. There are only two items. Although they are not rare, they are really difficult to find for two grown men like me and Zamao Xiaodao.
.
What is it? The first thing is to find a big reed rooster that crows every day to announce the dawn, and it must be more than three years old;
The second thing that is even more troublesome is the need to find the blood from the lower palace of the girl Tian Kui.
Because the former rises towards the rising sun every day, its blood has absorbed enough of the sun's essence, and its nature is yang, while the latter is the first time that the uterus that nurtures life is stimulated by estrogen, and begins a series of developments.
A blood stream from the lower uterus means pure yin essence of the earth mother, which is yin in nature. These two things will infiltrate my hands during the final treatment process and harmonize yin and yang.
One of them is a rooster, and the other is a woman's uterine blood. They are both the most common things in the world. However, although a rooster can live up to six to seven years, or even more than ten years, it can only grow in half a year and a few months.
It immediately turned into fragrant food and entered our bellies. It is really rare to find a big cock that has lived for three years; and the so-called lower uterine blood that Tiankui first came, Zamao Xiaodao and I, two grown men, can't.
How to find it?
Wan Sanye didn't mention this before, probably because he didn't expect me to find the dragon fern grass and wormwood snow gallbladder so quickly.
During the days after we were discharged from the hospital, we spent most of our time looking for those two things.
After hitting the wall with no clue at the beginning, as a person in the information society, I immediately thought of asking for help on the forum. We logged into the most influential forum in the city, and then posted a reward post for these two things. At the beginning, I followed
They were all boring people, laughing and scolding, but then someone provided information that there was a professional chicken farmer in Ziguan Town, Gucheng County, who had such a big rooster.
Zamao Xiaodao and I immediately took a bus and bought this energetic big rooster for 1,000 yuan. As for the latter, after being scolded as a gangster several times, there was no news again.
At noon on the tenth day of hospitalization, Wan Sanye called me and said that he had just received news about Zhao Zhonghua and asked us to prepare quickly and rush back to Badong that day.
