Chapter 161 Looking for a miracle doctor in Beiqin Mountain
The cat ran forward again and sniffed the grass on the roadside.
Sniffing and sniffing, he opened his mouth and took a few bites.
While chewing, he looked back at the two people and one horse behind him.
Wu Nuxia led the horse and pointed to a road: "Go this way and you'll find the famous Changjing Ghost Market."
"I've also heard of the Changjing Ghost Market."
"Where did you hear that?"
"Tea House."
"Have you been there?"
"No."
"I don't think so."
"yes."
This ghost market is outside the city and only opens at night. If you go to the ghost market, you will definitely not be able to come back at night. With the sound insulation of the small building and the vigilance of this heroine, if she does not return home at night, she will probably have a clear conscience.
Chu.
"I also want to go shopping, but I don't know how to get to this ghost market, what's so special about it, and what's so special about it?"
Song You just wanted to ask her for advice.
Wu Nuxia didn't hesitate and said: "The ghost market opens every 40 to 70. Today is May 14th. We have to walk for more than a day to Beiqin Mountain. If we find Doctor Cai, it will probably take some time. If we can't find him, it will take more time."
I'm sure I won't be back right away. If we can catch up with the market at Shiqiu, I can take you there. If you still want to go to the depths of Beiqin Mountain to find the Snake Fairy, I won't accompany you and go alone.
, if you are twenty or twenty-four when you come back, you can also go there."
"Is it interesting?"
“It’s not interesting, but it’s different from the usual market.”
At this time, the two of them had already walked through the small road. Wu Nuxia had no choice but to turn around and point to the road: "Follow that road and keep going. There are cracks in the ground. The widest part is several feet, and the narrowest part is two feet."
, the deepest part is almost ten feet deep and stretches for dozens of miles. Except at noon, there is no sunlight at all."
"Is it naturally occurring?"
"It is said that in the last years of the previous dynasty, there were demons and demons dancing wildly in the world, and there were gods and demons in the lower realm. There were incredible gods and demons fighting here, and the earth was split open, so this gap appeared."
“It’s amazing.”
"I don't know if it's true or not. Have you heard of it?"
"I haven't heard of it."
"You haven't heard of it. It's mostly a rumor. It may be the Earth Dragon who came back." Wu Nuxia said, "Because the Earth Sea is outside Changjing City, people gradually began to do shady business here. At first, it was just some people.
Desperados and some shady people come here, and their troubles gradually become bigger and bigger. Now many brave and curious people sometimes come to join in the fun. It is called the ghost market. I heard that sometimes there are real mountains.
Monsters and wild ghosts come here to do business."
"I see."
"There are some special things. It's quite special when you walk in. They are grottoes dug out on both sides of the seam in the ground. They are often foggy. The things sold are all kinds of weird things. They are not often seen in Changjing or even on ordinary streets.
You can see everything that is for sale. If you have the ability, you can also buy some secret information." Wu Nuxia said, "But people from the government often sneak in, so those things that are strictly prohibited are still very uncomfortable.
If you sell something that is easy to see, such as armor, the place will be surrounded the next day."
"Does the government not care about it during normal times?"
"There is not much control. The government is like this. In the city, the control is strict, but outside the city, the control is very loose." Wu Nuxia said, "On average, there will be a big inspection once every few years, and ordinary small inspections are not important.
, the ghost market that has existed for hundreds of years has been involved too much, and it will not be thrown away easily."
"I see."
When they spoke, they had already gone a long way.
Suddenly there was a burst of cicada chirping approaching quickly and intermittently.
The Taoist couldn't help but lower his head and take a look.
He saw the calico cat walking back toward him with cheerful little steps, holding a cicada in its mouth. The cicada made a few intermittent noises from time to time, as if begging for mercy, but it was completely unable to shake the calico cat's cold heart.
She just walked up to the Taoist and used her paws to pull at the Taoist's trousers.
The Taoist bent down and spread his hands. She put the cicada on her lips into the palm of his hand, then raised her head and looked at him:
"Eat cicadas."
"I will not eat."
"People want to eat cicadas." The calico cat stared at him and said, "There are people in the city who eat cicadas. They roast them over the fire, and you roast them and eat them too."
"I don't bake."
"I'll help you bake it."
"I appreciate Empress Sanhua's kindness. It's better for Empress Sanhua to eat it herself."
"You're hungry."
"I don't."
"You're tired from walking."
"nor."
"..."
The calico cat stared at him for a long time, took the cicada from his hand, and ate it in two or three bites, not letting it go to waste.
Then he took small steps and ran to the front again.
"You cat really cares about you."
"She was afraid that I would starve to death."
"interesting."
Wu Nuxia couldn't help but smile.
This kind of warmth will affect those around you.
At this time, morning gradually went to noon. Although it was cloudy and there was no scorching sun, it was still a bit muggy.
In addition to the sweltering heat, there are occasional gusts of cool breeze, and each gust of wind brings amazing coolness.
Coupled with the dots of summer flowers on both sides of the path, they are not as soft as spring flowers, but have their own brilliance. Along with the sound of cicadas coming from all directions, it seems to be similar to every summer in my memories.
It's a bit confusing to say -
This summer has passed halfway. She has been running around outside almost every day, being exposed to the scorching sun and being disturbed by the summer heat. Today is the first day she has free time to look at the summer flowers on the roadside and listen to the chirping of cicadas beside the road. So.
It’s only after half of summer that I can feel the feeling of summer.
Suddenly, I heard another sound, vague and vague.
It's like a kettle being boiled.
It wasn't just her, the calico cat bouncing ahead and seemingly carefree was also attracted to her, stretching its neck to stare at the direction of the sound.
Several people walked over and saw only four or five village children walking barefoot on the road.
Two village boys were wearing only half-length trousers, and three village boys had their trousers rolled up to their knees. Their feet were all covered in mud. One of them was carrying a basket, probably going to the river to catch fish and loaches.
In addition, each person holds half of the pod in his mouth and blows out loud or deep sounds.
Multiple sounds mixed together are really harsh.
"Hey kids!" Wu Nuxia stopped them, "Where did you find this name?"
"Um?"
Several children stopped immediately and were at a loss.
Although Wu Nuxia is a female voice, she is covered with cloth, is tall, leads a horse and carries a knife, so she is somewhat intimidating.
"Where did you find the barking?"
"What……"
"Squealing, squealing." Wu Nuxia said to them. Then she realized that Chang Jing's name might be different, so she pointed to her mouth and said, "That's what you're saying."
"There's one on the road ahead."
"Let's go."
Wu Nuxia waved her hand.
A group of children immediately left quickly, looking back at them as they walked, and the whistle sounded again.
The calico cat also stood there, staring straight at them.
It wasn't until the children were gone, and the Taoist and the heroine were also far away, that she withdrew her gaze and quickly caught up with the Taoist.
after awhile--
The calico cat has turned into the appearance of a little girl. Like Wu Xia, one of them holds a whistle made of wild pea pods in her mouth. The two walk side by side, one big and one small, blowing a sound like a cooking pot. In my memory,
The feeling of summer has become more complete because of this.
The Taoist was surrounded by noise, but he smiled.
There are faintly visible mountain shadows ahead, as if they are in an inaccessible distance.
…
The mountains in the distance were getting closer and closer, and their shadows became clearer, but as I got closer, I saw more blurry mountain shadows behind the mountains.
The mountains in this world really have no end.
I slept on the roadside at night, and the next morning I arrived at the foot of the rolling Beiqin Mountains.
The mountains are majestic, and there are homes deep in the white clouds.
"Woooooo~~"
The little girl was still blowing the whistle and walking very rudely. She always fell down and fell on the Taoist priest. She bumped into him and then walked straight. After a while, she turned sideways and bumped into him again.
It seems like this is fun.
The road up the mountain is indeed difficult to find and difficult to walk. If you are not careful, you will go wrong.
Fortunately, there are many people living on the mountain, as well as Taoist temples, and the roads are not narrow. In some places, there are stone steps. Wu Nuxia came here twice, holding the yellow-maned horse and chatting with him while trying to find the way.
So in the mountains, a path led diagonally to the depths of the forest. The two of them, one cat and one horse, slowly walked up the mountain.
Sometimes there are loess roads, sometimes there are bluestone steps.
The roadside is covered with unknown shrubs, with small thorns all over the body and small blue-purple flowers.
An unknown ancient temple on the top of a mountain can be faintly seen in the distance.
The mountain breeze is full, causing the grass and trees on the roadside to sway, the scenery is wonderful, the world is clear and dark, the sultry heat is gone, and the mood is naturally very comfortable.
The group of people took their time and gradually entered the depths of the white clouds.
From time to time, I would meet some people from the world who seemed to be looking for Master Dou. I was afraid that they would regard them as competitors and would look at them in a pretentious manner.
Song You always ignored them and only looked at the road seriously, while Wu Nuxia had to look at them and had to wait until they took the initiative to look away or the two sides staggered before looking back.
"If I remember correctly, it's the front."
"A hermit in the mountains."
"He's not a hermit." Wu Nuxia's voice came out, "Even though he lives in the mountains, he actually just does it for the convenience of collecting medicines and tasting herbs. He is only at home for a few months in a year, and usually travels around for medical treatment.
You will be treated as a guest no matter where you are, so it doesn’t matter if you live in a remote place.”
"There's a house!"
The little girl temporarily took off the whistle from her mouth, pointed forward and said, then wiped the saliva on the whistle and continued to stuff it into her mouth.
"Woo~"
"puff!"
Suddenly he lost his grip and fell to the ground.
The little girl immediately reached out to pick it up, but the Taoist held her hand.
"My scream..."
"Dirty."
“Not dirty!”
"There are more on the way."
"oh."
There is indeed a hut in the distance.
When I got closer, I saw that the doors of several thatched huts were closed, and one of them had a pair of fish tails stuck on the door.
"nobody."
The little girl whispered.
"Dong dong..."
Wu Nuxia knocked on the door, but no one responded.
"It's too late again."
Wu Nuxia frowned, bent down and looked at the door, stretched out her hand, touched it, and looked at her fingers: "There is a layer of dust in front of the door. Even if it is windy on the mountain, no one has been in or out for several days."
"I have betrayed the heroine's trust."
"She should have gone out to practice medicine." Wu Nuxia shook her head, "What did you say?"
"I came here when I was happy. It's good to find you. If you can't find me, it's all the fun." Song You said with a smile, "Besides, I came here to avoid the chaos in Changjing. It doesn't matter if I can't find it. But the heroine,
It seems that I came to Dr. Cai for something more important, so I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed.”
"Then what can be done?" Wu Nuxia sighed, "I plan to wait here until tomorrow afternoon. If there is no one around, I will go back and come back next time."
"Then I'll wait until tomorrow afternoon."
"OK."
The two of them didn't mind being dirty, so they sat down at the door, leaning against the door, enjoying the mountain breeze and waiting for dark.
