After staying in Tangmen for one night, Huan Xin left with Su He the next day. We were going to Shennongjia to look for the descendants of the King of Medicine. If even the King of Medicine couldn't figure out what kind of plant poison Su He was,
Then there is really no hope.
Tang Tianjiao led the two of them down the mountain through the secret passage the day after tomorrow. She still trusted Tang Tianjiao very much and did not hide from him this secret passage that only people from the Tang Sect could know.
After all, Huan Xin came flying with a sword, so whether he knew the secret passage had no influence at all.
Just like that, Huan Xin took Su He and set off to Shennongjia with great difficulty.
When talking about Shennongjia, most people's first reaction should be the legend about "savages".
But no one can tell whether there are any savages there. All they know is that it has been developed into a "nature reserve" by the country in recent years, and it is now a famous tourist attraction.
The Medicine King they are looking for will not be in the tourist attractions. They only know that it is in a place called Fragment Cliff. The terrain here is difficult and there are no people around all year round. It may not be easy for ordinary people to find, but for
For a monk, it shouldn't be difficult with a little effort.
However, Su He's condition has been getting worse and worse recently. Huan Xin has to use several times the previous Qi every day to suppress the cold poison attack. Originally, it was not a long journey from Tangmen to Shennongjia, so he had to stop and go.
It took three days.
When he arrived at Shennongjia, Huanxin felt that Su He was already very weak. Seeing that it was already getting late, he still wanted to find a place to stay first. So Huanxin could tell where there were people based on the aura of the mountains and rivers.
We can't let Su He spend a night in the deep mountains and old forests!
After walking for an unknown amount of time, I saw a village faintly appearing in front of me. Huan Xin was also very happy and walked over with Su He. The two of them walked along and found that there should be about ten families here.
, but at this time, the sky is getting dark, and the only two houses with lights on are two and two stars.
This village obviously did not have electricity. After all, Huan Xin did not find any signs of modern civilization here. Looking at the houses with lights on the east and west ends of the village, Huan Xin knocked on the house at the east end of the village without hesitation.
.
Not long after, an old man with a stooped body opened the door and stood at the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
Huan Xin looked at the old man's face and felt like he had seen a ghost. The hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, and he was startled by the old man.
At this time, Huan Xin seems to have forgotten that he is a Taoist priest in the out-of-body realm. Isn't this kind of expression and action a bit rude?
So Huan Xin quickly returned to normal. He stepped forward and took a closer look. It turned out that the old man did have large burn marks on his face, which was why he looked a bit ferocious. In addition, this place was deep in the mountains and there were no people and the light was dark. For a moment, there was no trace of burns.
Only when Huan Xin was prepared in his heart was he taken aback.
Huanxin smiled and took out a hundred yuan from her pocket, placed it in front of the old man, and said politely: "Old man, I'm sorry to bother you. My girlfriend and I were traveling and got lost.
You see it’s getting late now, could you please stay at your house for the night? It’s not respectful of me!”
The old man looked Qing Xin up and down, and then looked at Su He behind him, but his eyes still stayed on Su He for a moment, as if he saw something.
But he quickly withdrew his gaze, reached out and took the money from Huan Xin, then turned around and entered the house, saying as he walked: "With this much money, you can stay for a few days, no problem, come in!"
When Huan Xin heard this, she looked at Su He behind her with a smile, thinking that the villagers in the mountains were still simple! Then she helped Su He into the house.
The old man's house is still very simple, with only one inner room and one outer room. The house is full of old wooden furniture, which looks very old at first glance, but it is considered clean and spotless.
Su He only saw the old man's face clearly after entering the house. He almost screamed out in surprise. He couldn't see clearly just now when he was standing behind Huan Xin. Fortunately, Huan Xin held her tightly by the side.
Her hand prevented Su He from crying out.
Huan Xin stepped forward, bowed politely to the old man and thanked him, and then asked: "Thank you so much, what do you call me?"
The old man nodded and said: "No one knows the name of this old man from the countryside. Just call me Uncle Qi!"
"That's such a coincidence, my surname is also Qi." Huan Xin said with some surprise.
Then the old man poured them two glasses of boiling water. Qian Xin also took out two wrinkled pieces of bread from his bag and handed one to Su He. Then the two of them ate the bread with the boiling water.
.
Uncle Qi looked at the pitiful appearance of the two children in front of him, and couldn't bear to shake his head and said: "Okay, these buns are so dry, don't eat them, I'll go get you a bowl of noodles!"
After hearing this, Huan Xin was also a little moved. After saying that, she wanted to pay Uncle Qi again, but Old Man Qi didn't ask for it this time and pushed it back directly to Huan Xin.
After a while, two bowls of steaming and fragrant noodles were served. Qing Xin's mouth watered when she smelled the aroma of the noodles. The two of them had been running around on the road in the past few days, many times walking over mountains and ridges to get here.
Yes, in order to save more time, Huan Xin used the Cold Wave Sword to fly over in uninhabited places, so most of the places the two of them visited were uninhabited.
Looking at the two pieces of oily bacon cut into the bowl, Huan Xin felt that he wouldn't trade it for gold or silver for this bowl of noodles.
Su He put the bacon in his own bowl into Qing Xin's bowl. Qing Xin urged Su He to eat all the meat with some displeasure, but Su He excused himself because he had no appetite.
Seeing that Su He's face that was not fat had lost a lot of weight, Qing Xin felt better. On the other hand, the same was true for Su He. She saw that Qing Xin was running around hard with him every day, but she had no complaints or regrets.
She also felt very uncomfortable.
After finishing the meal, Huan Xin took the initiative to help Uncle Qi put away the dishes. Uncle Qi gave the back room to Huan Xin and the others, saying that it would be more convenient for them as the female relatives, and then handed them a kerosene lamp and said
It's also more convenient to go to the toilet at night.
After a tiring day like this, Qianxin injected his true energy into Su He's body before going to bed. Qianxin became more and more determined. He thought that Su He couldn't be cured in his lifetime, so he used his true energy to protect it.
her whole life.
One night passed, and when Huan Xin got up in the morning, she found that Uncle Qi was already making breakfast!
Huan Xin also wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Uncle Qi and inquire about the location of Duantian Cliff and the Yaowang Sect. He thought to himself that this old man had lived here for so long, so he should know something about it.
"Uncle Qi, are you up so early?"
Old Man Qi said without raising his eyes: "Didn't you see it and still ask?"
Huan Xin smiled awkwardly, and then asked casually: "How many families are there in Uncle Qi's village? Last night I saw that there were only two families with lights on?"
At this time, Uncle Qi raised his head and glanced at Huan Xin, and said angrily: "I lived in this village by myself many years ago. The conditions in the mountains are not good, so it is not suitable for people to live!"
Qing Xin thought something was wrong, last night he really saw that the house at the west end of the village also had light!
Huan Xin asked curiously: "So last night at the west end of the village..."
Halfway through Huan Xin's words, Old Man Liu interrupted with a smile: "The widow at the west end of the village hanged herself at home many years ago. How could there be someone here? Have you seen a ghost?"
Huan Xin took a deep breath and thought, could this happen to me, a Taoist priest?
