When Gou Xinjia met Hu Yunbao, they were surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese. Later, they broke out of the encirclement and were exhausted in the Changbai Mountains, so Gou Xinjia did not have time to explore the magic with Hu Yunbao.
Therefore, Hu Hongde was the first person Ye Tian met who knew the magic of the Sun and Moon. Now that he heard the word "Fox Fairy" from his mouth, Ye Tian couldn't help but ask: "Is there really a Fox Fairy in this world?"
"Um...I...I don't know, but after chanting the spell, I can feel a force coming over my body. I have hired a fox fairy to protect Xiaoxian since she was eight years old, and she has never been sick."
Facing Ye Tian's inquiry, Hu Hongde couldn't tell him anything. It was all because he refused to practice magic in the early years, but now it was too late to regret it.
However, Hu Hongde heard from his father that he was able to enter the Japanese army camp alone and assassinate the major general officer only by relying on the escape technique. Without the family-inherited technique, he would not have been able to break out of this place.
Such a great reputation.
Moreover, Hu Hongde also witnessed his father cast a spell to invite the fox fairy to take possession of him. At that time, his father, who was already in his fifties, was as dexterous as an ape in the Changbai Mountains. This really opened his eyes to Hu Hongde.
However, it was related to his granddaughter's life. Hu Hongde was really not in the mood to discuss the technique with Ye Tian. He said calmly: "Ye Tian, let's not talk about this for now. Let's see if you can contact me and ask him to come over."
A trip?"
Hu Hongde knew that Gou Xinjia was already over 80 years old, and it was logical that he should kowtow to him as a junior, but in the current situation, Hu Hongde couldn't care so much.
Ye Tian shook his head and said: "Old Hu, I just called Senior Brother. He is not very familiar with your techniques. It doesn't matter whether he comes or not."
"Then...isn't that a little fairy?"
Hu Hongde was shocked when he heard this. If even Gou Xin's family couldn't do anything, then no one in the world could save his granddaughter. Hu Hongde's face suddenly showed a sad look.
"Old Hu, what I mean is that I am here, and it doesn't matter whether senior brother comes or not!" Seeing that Hu Hongde didn't understand what he meant, Ye Tian repeated what he just said.
"Ye Tian, you...you mean, you can save Xiaoxian?" Hu Hongde understood this time and looked at Ye Tian with a surprised look on his face, quite unbelieving in his heart.
Gou Xinjia defeated his father with three moves and used formations to trap the little devil. Hu Hongde witnessed these with his own eyes. That heroic and invincible figure was still etched in his heart even after fifty or sixty years.
made an indelible impression.
But the Ye Tian in front of him was only in his early twenties, and there was even a trace of childishness on his face. Hu Hongde could not connect him with the impression of a master of magic.
“I’m not 100% sure, but you can give it a try!”
Ye Tian still doesn't know what kind of spell Hu Xiaoxian was hit by. He can only try spiritualism, so he doesn't dare to give Hu Hongde a guarantee.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian continued: "Lao Hu, if you want me to treat your granddaughter, you need two conditions."
"You said, as long as I can do it, any of the ten conditions will be fine!"
Hu Hongde quickly agreed. Just because he had a relationship with Gou Xin's family, it didn't mean he had friendship with Ye Tian. Naturally, others couldn't help him in vain.
Ye Tian nodded and said: "First, when I am casting the spell, no one else can be in the room except you. If this is not possible, then there is no need to mention it again."
"That's no problem. I'll kick them out as soon as possible. If I don't get angry, does this little brat really think I've changed to a vegetarian diet over the years?"
Hu Hongde gritted his teeth. For the sake of his granddaughter's life, even if he fell out with his son and wife, he still had to ensure that Ye Tian was not disturbed when he cast the spell.
"Okay, the second condition is that I need the rhizome of a soul-returning grass. Can you find this?"
According to the senior brother, the roots of the soul-returning grass must be ground into powder, then mixed with incense and burned. Without this, the effectiveness of Ye Tian's spiritualism will be greatly reduced.
"Resurrection grass? What is this?" Hu Hongde was stunned when he heard this. He had never heard of such a thing.
"You don't know?" Ye Tian also had a look of surprise on his face. According to what his senior brother said, soul-returning grass should grow in the Northeast.
Hu Hongde shook his head and said, "I don't know. Can you tell me about its unique shape? There are many names for things in our old forest."
"This is a plant that should be between 60 centimeters and 1.5 meters tall. The rhizome is short and thick, with many slender roots clustered in clusters. The outer skin is grey-brown, and the leaves are grizzly-shaped and oblong.
This thing blooms in summer and autumn, with many flower heads and three layers of bracts, hemispherical, green with purple tinges, and tongue-shaped flowers at the edges, blue-purple. Lao Hu, that’s all I know. Look, there are similar plants.
?"
Ye Tian has an excellent memory. Gou Xinjia described the characteristics of the soul-returning grass to him on the phone, and now he relayed them word for word.
Hu Hongde thought carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "This thing is called donkey plywood. Yes, you can see these things in the old forest!"
"Donkey plywood? That's an interesting name, Lao Hu, are you sure?" There are as many as ten thousand kinds of plants in Changbai Mountain, and Ye Tian is afraid that Hu Hongde won't get it wrong.
"I'm sure, it's donkey-splinted vegetables!" Hu Hongde grew up in the old forests of Changbai Mountain from the day he was born. Later, he studied Chinese medicine with his elders in the family, and he knew these medicinal materials very well.
"But this season, the branches and leaves of the donkey plywood have withered, so it's not easy to find the roots."
Hu Hongde frowned as he spoke. If it were spring and autumn, donkey plywood would be in bloom and could be seen in many places.
But it was almost winter now. Except for pines and cypresses, all the other trees in the mountain forest were bare, and these herbaceous plants only had their roots buried in the soil, making it a bit troublesome to find them.
"Ye Tian, otherwise, I will go back to the mountains right now. You wait here for me for a day. I will be able to come back with the soul-returning grass tomorrow afternoon at the latest. What do you think?"
For the sake of his granddaughter's life, Hu Hongde didn't care so much. He even used his hand to dig out the soul-returning grass.
"Lao Hu, it's fine if I stay here, why don't I go with you?"
Ye Tian thought about how boring he was staying in the ward, especially when the patient was a girl. He might as well follow Hu Hongde and go for a walk in the Changbai Mountains.
"Ye Tian, Changbai Mountain is not easy to walk. You, a person who grew up in the city, may not be used to it." Hu Hongde shook his head after hearing this. He was afraid that Ye Tian would follow and delay his search for the soul-returning grass.
Ye Tian saw Hu Hongde's thoughts and laughed loudly and said: "Old Hu, I didn't grow up in the city. I have been wandering around Maoshan all day since I was five years old. Don't underestimate me!"
"That's it, let's leave now!"
Hu Hongde had a bad temper, so he took out another two hundred yuan from his leather jacket pocket and threw it on the table, then pulled Ye Tian out of the noodle shop.
Since closing the small clinic, Hu Hongde has been living in Changbai Mountain all year round. In recent years, after the mountain was closed for afforestation and the hunting of wild animals was strictly prohibited, Hu Hongde often went to collect some precious medicinal materials, and he was not short of money.
"Hey, let me make a phone call."
Ye Tian originally thought about going back to the hospital and telling Yu Qingya, but unexpectedly he was pulled into the carriage by Hu Hong. He could only take out his mobile phone and call Yu Qingya, dumbfounded.
Although she didn't know how Ye Tian got together with Hu Xiaoxian's grandfather, Yu Qingya knew her boyfriend's abilities, so she wasn't worried and just asked Ye Tian to pay more attention.
"Drive! Come on..." Ye Tian had ridden in cars, trains and airplanes, but this was his first time riding a carriage. Watching Hu Hongde whip his horse was a bit novel.
Changbai City is not very big. In more than half an hour, the carriage left the city and started running on the muddy ground, a few minutes faster than in the city.
"Ye Tian, your kung fu is incredible."
After getting on the carriage, Hu Hongde and Ye Tian sat on the shaft of the carriage, with their shoulders touching. Hu Hongde discovered that Ye Tian was only wearing a thin shirt under his jacket.
You know, the temperature in Changbai Mountain is already below zero in November. Even Hu Hongde wears a fire fox vest, otherwise he will not be able to withstand the severe cold.
Only then did Hu Hongde realize that he had underestimated Ye Tian. Apart from anything else, Ye Tian's ability to withstand the cold and heat alone was far beyond his ability.
Ye Tian smiled and said: "I just have a good chance, Lao Hu, how long will it take to get to where you live?"
At this time, the carriage had already gone up the mountain road, bumping along the path with birch trees on both sides. Sitting on the carriage was like dancing, and the whole person was trembling.
Hu Hongde raised his whip, pointed ahead and said: "After passing the forest farm in front, it's almost half an hour's walk in. This carriage belongs to the forest farm, and I want to return it."
As he spoke, the path ahead opened up, and a forest farm filled with logs appeared in front of him.
"Master Hu, is Xiaoxian okay? Why are you back so early? Who is this little brother?"
After the carriage stopped, a middle-aged man in his forties came up to him. He glanced at Ye Tian sitting next to him strangely, took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to Hu Hongde and Ye Tian.
"Little girl, you are tough and don't be afraid. I don't want to smoke this cigarette, so you might as well smoke my pipe."
Hu Hongde pushed the cigarette back and said: "Director Song, this is Xiaoxian's classmate. Follow me into the mountains. Give me a few bottles of wine to keep out the cold at night!"
"Master Hu, okay, if you hunt a roe deer later, please leave some meat for me."
Hu Hongde had lived in the mountains for more than ten years. He would always be asked to see anyone in the forest farm who was sick or something. He was therefore very popular. Director Song agreed and went back to the house and brought out four bottles of wine.
