Ye Qiu did not take Bai Bing home to make a human. Instead, he went to the street, found a literature and art store, and bought forty-nine lanterns and some yellow paper, writing brushes, cinnabar and other things.
Afterwards, I returned home and rested for a whole day.
Recharge your batteries.
Six p.m.
Ye Qiu and Bai Bing had dinner, then took a shower and changed clothes, and then went straight to the hospital at the military rest center in the capital.
Mr. Tang specially greeted the guard on guard, so this time Ye Qiu and the others had a smooth journey without encountering any questioning.
As soon as Ye Qiu came to the door of General Bai's ward, he saw Mr. Tang.
"Ye Qiu, I got what you asked for."
Mr. Tang handed a wooden box to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu opened the wooden box and took a look. Inside, there were one hundred-year-old ginseng and two hundred-year-old polygonum multiflorum wrapped in red silk.
"Mr. Tang, thank you so much! I'll transfer the money to you," Ye Qiu said.
Mr. Tang smiled slightly and said, "No need to pay."
Um?
Ye Qiu and Bai Bing were stunned and looked at Mr. Tang in confusion.
Mr. Tang smiled and said: "These three herbs were originally collected by Mr. Ye. I heard that they were needed to treat General Bai, so Mr. Ye asked me to get them."
"Lao Ye said that General Bai is a hero of the country. If these three medicinal materials can help, it will be a great thing, so I will give them to you for free."
Ye Qiu knew that the reason why Mr. Ye was so generous was probably because of his face.
Bai Bing was very moved and said: "Mr. Ye's gift of medicinal materials at this time is undoubtedly a timely help. After grandpa wakes up, I will definitely go to Ye's house to express my thanks."
Mr. Tang smiled and said: "Bai Bing, Mr. Ye gave special instructions and said that there is no need to come to thank you. This is his heartfelt wish. I hope you will work hard in the future and have a happy family."
Bai Bing still doesn't know the relationship between Ye Qiu and Ye Lao, but he only feels warm in his heart.
Mr. Tang then said to Ye Qiu: "Mr. Ye asked me to tell you that you should go all out and don't let him down."
"knew."
Ye Qiu responded lightly.
Just at this moment, Zhang Jiuling came, holding a sword in his hand.
"Ye Qiu, I got the peach wood sword for you, do you think it's okay?" Zhang Jiuling handed the sword to Ye Qiu's hand.
The scabbard is made of cowhide, and the sword is three feet and three inches long, brown in color, with a Tai Chi Bagua carved on it.
As soon as Ye Qiu pulled out the sword, he smelled a strong scent of incense, and his eyes lit up instantly, "This sword is not bad."
Zhang Jiuling said with a smile: "The owner of the Changchun Temple even asked me if I was going to use it to suppress evil spirits. He didn't believe me when I said it was for curing diseases."
Bai Bing felt a little weird, "Can a wooden sword ward off evil?"
"The Peach Wood Sword is not an ordinary wooden sword." Ye Qiu said: "The "Taiping Yulan" once said: Peach is the essence of the five trees. It suppressed evil spirits in ancient times. This fairy tree is also the essence of peach wood in the ghost gate.
To control hundreds of ghosts, I made a mahogany sword to suppress evil spirits."
"Peach wood was also called dragon-subduing wood in ancient times, and it does have the effect of calming down the house and warding off evil spirits."
"During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao suffered from a headache due to being too suspicious and could not be cured for a long time. Later, on the advice of his military advisor, he selected high-quality peach wood from the Central Plains area and made a peach wood sword and hung it indoors. The headache disappeared immediately. Later, he went south and north.
The war established the hegemony of Cao Wei."
"Of course, the ordinary peach wood sword cannot control the house and ward off evil spirits. It must be consecrated, or it must be a magic weapon contaminated with the scent of incense."
"If I read it correctly, this peach wood sword should be made of century-old peach wood, and it has been enshrined in Taoist temples for at least two hundred years. It can be said that this is a top-quality magical weapon."
Ye Qiu said with a smile: "With this sword, I am more confident in using the method of extending my life."
"By the way, where's the big rooster?" Zhang Jiuling suddenly asked.
"I asked Tang Fei and Long Ye to help find them. There should be news soon..."
Before Ye Qiu finished speaking, Tang Fei and Long Ye ran in from outside, panting.
Long Ye was holding a big, snow-white rooster in his hand, weighing about seven or eight kilograms, with a blood-red comb, sharp claws, and a mighty look.
Tang Fei was holding a thermos bucket in his hand. When he opened the lid, the fishy smell hit his nostrils, and there was a bowl of dog blood inside.
"I bought the big rooster from a cockfighting player for 30,000 yuan. I don't need to give this money to me anymore, just treat it as a little bit of my gratitude," Long Ye said.
Tang Fei said: "The dog blood was obtained from the military dog raised by grandpa. Ye Qiu, you don't have to pay, but you will have to buy some nutrients for the military dog later. I have drained so much blood. I don't know when it will be replenished."
"No problem." Ye Qiu agreed.
"Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, and we only need to wait for the turn of midnight to use the method to extend the life of General Bai." Old Tang said.
Ye Qiu took a look and saw that it was only eight o'clock in the evening.
"Treatment officially starts at eleven o'clock in the evening. Now I need to arrange the venue." Ye Qiu asked: "Mr. Tang, can you lend me the rooftop of the hospital tonight?"
Mr. Tang nodded: "Okay."
"Tang Fei, Long Ye, you two help me."
Ye Qiu took the two of them to the rooftop, and then placed forty-nine lanterns on the ground in the shape of Tai Chi and Bagua.
Then, Ye Qiu mixed cinnabar and dog blood together and used a brush to draw symbols on the yellow paper.
He drew a total of seventy-two talismans.
After doing this, it was already past nine o'clock.
There were only three of them, Ye Qiu, so Tang Fei said: "Ye Qiu, General Bai is the Bai family's Dinghai Shenzhen. If he wakes up, the biggest beneficiaries will be Bai Yujing and his son. Are you sure you really want to save him?"
Ye Qiu said: "Of course I am sure, otherwise, why would I have spent so much effort asking you to help me?"
"What if after General Bai wakes up, he stands on the same front as Bai Yujing and his son and deal with you together?" Tang Fei reminded: "Old General Bai has a high prestige in the army, and his relationship with the supreme leader is not bad."
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of him."
Since Ye Qiu dared to save him, he had already thought about the consequences.
After General Bai woke up, he was not afraid of him, whether he was an enemy or a friend.
Time passes quietly.
Ten fifty.
Ye Qiu pushed General Bai out of the ward, and then he, Tang Fei, and Long Ye carried General Bai to the rooftop.
At this time, General Bai was lying quietly on the hospital bed, surrounded by forty-nine lanterns.
"Ye Qiu, what else do we need to do next?" Elder Tang asked.
Ye Qiu said: "Everyone has prepared everything for me. There is nothing I need to help with at the moment, but there are two points that I need to pay attention to when I am treating you later."
"First, no matter what happens during the treatment, no one should disturb me, and don't let others disturb me."
"Second, you should stay away and protect your own safety."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ye Qiu lowered his head and glanced at the time.
11:09.
"It's almost time, I'm going to start treatment!"
