Xiangmaozi held this small piece of jade in his hand and didn't even dare to clench his fists. Is this the order to ascend to immortality? !
Although the immortal didn't say it, Chunyu and the others' Order of Ascension to Immortality, which they never forgot, left such a deep impression on Xiangmaozi that as soon as she saw this small jade piece, she recognized it as the Order of Ascension to Immortality!
Immortal Mingjun gently said to Xiangmaozi, "This is an order to ascend to immortality!"
really!
Xiang Maozi's heart was beating fast, and she pursed her lips tightly, fearing that if she opened the gap even slightly, the unsuppressed heart in her chest would pop out of her mouth.
Immortal Mingjun told Xiangmaozi, "On June 15th three months later, you are going to Fucheng in Xiyi Prefecture, where you can take part in the selection test with this Ascension Order. You will know how to do it when the time comes. "
Xiangmaozi nodded vigorously, and then she unconsciously clenched her hands tightly, never daring to let go.
Seeing her like this, Immortal Mingjun couldn't help but smile again.
Immortal Mingjun took out an elixir and a piece of paper charm, "I still have something else I want you to do."
Lemongrass immediately replied, "Okay!"
Immortal Ming Jun handed her the pill pill and the paper charm, "This pill is called Qingxin Pill, and it's the best for eliminating epidemics. But you mortals can't eat it directly because you can't stand it. You go back and turn it into something." In water, more than a hundred people can take it and be cured!"
Then he took the paper talisman and taught it to Xiang Maozi, "This talisman is called the purification talisman. It is not very useful, but if you bury it in the center of the town, it can protect the town from evil spirits for ten years. With these two things, The matter in your town is basically settled. Do you understand?"
Lemongrass nodded vigorously. The elixir was turned into water for 100 people to drink, and the paper charm was buried in the center of the town. She remembered it firmly.
Seeing him nodding, Immortal Mingjun put both things in her palm. Lemongrass immediately held it tightly.
Immortal Ming Jun said goodbye to her, "Today, I got married to you. Now that the matter is over, let's say goodbye. I hope you can be there on the road to immortality in the future!"
This is a great kindness and encouragement to Lemongrass.
Xiangmaozi was not very expressive and just nodded vigorously.
Immortal Mingjun saw that everything had been explained clearly and that he had a more important task of investigation, so he left in a hurry.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, only the gentle breeze blows on her face, and Xiangmaozi can no longer see the figure of Immortal Mingjun!
If it weren't for the elixir, talisman and immortality order in his hand, Xiangmaozi would have thought that he had just dreamed. She pinched her cheek hard until tears came out of the pain, but the thing in her hand was still there, so she felt relieved.
This is really not a dream.
At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and Citronella looked at the dead rat on the ground, and aroused a desire to go back quickly. Throw in a few more rats and she'll be in trouble.
Xiangmaozi quickly picked up the hatchet and the basket, still carrying the hatchet behind her back, and placed the talisman and elixir in the basket, but Shengxian made her dare not put them in the basket for fear of falling out.
Suddenly, Xiangmaozi simply put the Shengxian Ling into his mouth and pressed it tightly with his tongue!
After doing these things, Xiangmaozi carried the basket and ran quickly into the forest of Huangshi Town.
Fortunately, we encountered no other ferocious beasts or man-loving rats along the way. Citronella successfully reached the edge of the forest, climbed up the tree, and returned along the original path. This time she was very careful and did not fall accidentally, nor was she noticed by the soldiers.
Coming out of the empty house where Sun Fuhu stayed, Xiangmaozi returned to Sixian Building smoothly.
Chunyu, the little boy, was squatting on the stool at the door, dozing off while she waited for the door. When Xiangmaozi walked in, he was leaning on the table leg, drooling from his sleep.
Xiang Maozi thought for a while and did not wake him up.
Instead, she gently carried the basket back to the small shabby room where she and Xin Mao stayed under the kitchen.
She opened the door and took a look.
There was a basin on the bedside, filled with hot water, but now it was cold. A semi-dry towel was placed beside the basin. Chunyu probably wiped Xin Mao before leaving.
Xiangmaozi washed her hands with a towel and water, wiped them clean, and then went to explore Xin Mao's forehead.
Still piping hot.
Fortunately, there is a magical elixir given by the immortal, otherwise by tomorrow, according to the pattern of illness among the guests, Xin Mao would have started to have blood in his stool and cough up blood!
Lemongrass spit out the small jade piece from her mouth and looked at it carefully in her hand.
Chunyu left a small oil lamp beside the bed. Using the oil lamp, Xiangmaozi discovered that there was a very, very small hole at one end of the jade piece. You can't see it if you're not careful.
Xiangmaozi quickly found a ball of silk thread from the basket at the end of the bed. This basket belonged to Mrs. Song. Before she left, she thought she couldn't take it with her, so she left it with Xiangmaozi. Then he pierced the small hole in the jade piece for a long time, and finally put the silk thread through the small hole in the jade piece, and then tied a knot and put it around his neck. Xiangmaozi looked down for a while, then finally reluctantly stuffed the jade piece into the lapel of her clothes.
After doing this, a big stone in Xiangmaozi's heart finally fell to the ground. She walked out with a basin in one hand and a basket in the other.
Because of the epidemic, the kitchen of Sixianlou now has a fire burning day and night, and dandelion and mugwort water is boiled on it all day long. Lemongrass took advantage of the fact that no one was around to get herself a large basin of mugwort water, and then after mixing it until the temperature was right, she wiped it with a cloth from top to bottom.
It took three basins of water to be replaced before the body was wiped clean. Then she changed her clothes and rolled up the dirty clothes stained with rat blood.
Lemongrass began to think about how to get the elixir.
Pills for one hundred people!
Lemongrass began to look around the kitchen, and finally she saw a large bucket next to the water tank. Lemongrass's eyes lit up. She took out a bowl of soup and began to scoop water out of the water tank, counting one by one to see how many bowls there were in one hundred. As a result, one bucket of water is equivalent to fifty bowls, which means that the medicine for 100 people should be equivalent to two buckets!
Xiangmaozi had an idea.
She dragged out a large empty wooden basin used by the master to make dough, and poured two buckets of water into the basin.
Then she carefully took out the elixir from the basket, put it in her palm and prayed before putting the Qingxin Pill into the water.
Strangely enough, Qingxin Pills are probably slightly larger than peanuts and look black in appearance. But once it was put into the water, it dissolved almost instantly.
Then the color of the water didn't change at all, it was still so clear.
Xiangmaozi looked at it carefully for a long time, but couldn't see anything different. She put her nose close to smell it, and it took a long time before she smelled a very faint aroma of grass from the water.
Although I can't see anything, Lemongrass firmly believes that this will work!
She carefully divided another half of the water in the basin, put it into a large wooden bucket, then carried it to her room and put it away in the corner.
The rest of the water in the basin was put aside and covered with a lid, lest someone else would use it as waste water for her.
Then he filled two soup bowls with water and carried them back to his room.
"Xin Mao, wake up." Xiangmaozi pushed Xin Mao up to drink water.
But Xin Mao was so dizzy from the fever that he couldn't hear Xiangmaozi calling him, let alone getting up to drink water and medicine. Xiangmaozi could only go back to the kitchen, took a long-handled spoon, opened Xin Mao's mouth, and poured the bowl of water into him in small spoonfuls.
Fortunately, although Xin Mao was unconscious, it was not troublesome to feed him water. It's just a little slow.
Xiangmaozi saw that Xin Mao finally drank the bowl of water. I also drank a bowl in three sips. He touched Xin Mao's forehead again. Not sure if it was an illusion, Xiang Maozi felt that Xin Mao's forehead was not as hot as before.
Only then did she safely carry the tray and two bowls out. Back in the kitchen, Xiangmaozi was washing two bowls. Chunyu rubbed his eyes and came over to check. When he saw Xiangmaozi washing the dishes in front of the fire, he yawned and said, "Xiangmaozi, when did you come back?"
Xiangmaozi replied to him, "It's been a while since I saw you sleeping, so I didn't call you." After saying that, Xiangmaozi took a clean bowl and scooped out half a bowl of water from the covered basin and handed it to Chun Yu. "drink!"
Chunyu was sleepy and shook his head, "I'm not thirsty. I have to drink for a while and I should go to the latrine. I'm going to feel sleepy now."
Lemongrass passed the bowl forward again and insisted, "You drink first! Then I'll tell you a secret! A big secret!"
Chunyu was completely sleepless by Xiangmaozi's solemn and mysterious tone, and he drank the water with Qingxin Dan dissolved in it in a daze. I don't think much of it, it just quenches my thirst.
Then he asked casually, "What's the secret? I've been worried about you for half the night, fearing that the soldiers would find you and shoot you to death."
Xiangmaozi looked at Chunyu with crystal clear eyes. She said seriously, "Brother Chunyu, I saw an immortal tonight!"
Chunyu didn't react, "Immortal?! Haven't we been to Sixianlou a lot?"
Xiangmaozi said, "It's different, Brother Chunyu. This immortal can save the people in our town!"
When Chunyu heard the word "rescue", his eyes gleamed, and he quickly asked, "How to save people?!"
Lemongrass pointed at the empty bowl and said, "This is the water you drink, just drink it."
What's the meaning? Chunyu was about to ask further questions. But his stomach suddenly started churning, and he couldn't help but let out a string of earth-shattering farts. Before Chunyu could feel embarrassed, the pain in his stomach came again!
As he ran to the toilet, he said to Xiang Maozi, "Hey, wait a minute, and I'll tell you."
Lemongrass covered her mouth, just about to laugh. Suddenly her expression changed and she quickly ran to the toilet.
The two people occupied the positions on both sides of the thatch, not caring about laughing at each other. They were already so drunk that they could hardly stand up.
While Chunyu was sighing, he asked Xiangmaozi through the door panel, "Oh my belly, Xiangmaozi, what on earth did you give me to drink? Even Croton is not so cruel!"
Xiangmaozi firmly believed that the magic medicine was right. She pinched her nose. The smell was really unbearable, "That's right, it's about to be cured."
The two squatted until their feet were weak, and then they came out of the toilet with their feet in front of them.
However, the strange thing is that as soon as I came out, my spirit was not sluggish, but actually became a bit stronger. Chunyu felt that the feeling of sluggishness and heaviness in her body these days was gone. Now he can jump up and down carrying two bags of rice.
"Hey, it's strange. Why is my body full of strength and not at all sore and tired after diarrhea?" Chun Yu was a little confused.
Lemongrass also felt the same way. Her whole body was sore and weak due to being attacked by the man-eating rat, but now her wrists and shoulders, which were originally painful from the impact, no longer hurt! Xiangmaozi carefully moved these two places to confirm that they no longer felt the dull pain. I couldn't help but have more confidence in the immortal's elixir.
Lemongrass said to Chunyu, "Brother Chunyu, what I gave you to drink just now was actually medicine, and I drank it too. That was the Qingxin Pill given to me by the immortal!"
So Xiangmaozi started talking about how she entered the backyard of Sun Fuhu's mansion, and continued to talk about the process of the immortal saving her from the teeth of the man-eating rat.
"Then, the immortal gave me this Qingxin Pill. He said that as long as I dissolve it in water, I can give it to a hundred people to drink, and it can get rid of the diseases caused by the bites of blood-sucking fleas on man-eating rats!" Lemongrass said, "The Immortal also specially told me not to swallow it directly to others, because the medicinal properties are too strong. To ordinary mortals, it is not medicine, but poison!"
Xiangmaozi spoke slowly, leaving little boy Chun Yu dumbfounded. But lemongrass also hides something. For example, she never mentioned the immortal order given by the immortal, not even a hint of it was revealed.
These are enough!
Chunyu stammered, "Then, what you gave me to drink just now was the water transformed from Qingxin Dan?"
Xiangmaozi nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Brother Chunyu. Many people died in the inn before and after, and you helped to bury them. I think I should give this medicine to you, just in case."
Chunyu didn't understand what Xiangmaozi said, but how could a young boy choose a job? ! What Xiangmaozi said made Chunyu moved to tears.
He kept saying thank you.
"Then what to do next?" Chunyu asked.
Xiangmaozi said, "I have given Xin Mao a bowl of water. If Xin Mao gets better tomorrow, we will tell the shopkeeper immediately and ask him to save people. The shopkeeper's words are much more useful than ours!"
Chun Yu had no doubt about this, and he nodded repeatedly.
Then Xiangmaozi solemnly asked Chun Yu, "But Brother Chunyu, I have to go back and take care of Xin Mao. There must be someone guarding the kitchen. In case the master or the water uses this pot of potion as ordinary water tomorrow morning , that would be bad!"
Chun Yu imagined that someone unknowingly poured this life-saving water on the ground like sewage, and couldn't help but shudder. He immediately said, "Don't worry, I will stay here today and never leave."
Xiangmaozi took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye and went out.
She went back and looked at Xin Mao first. Xin Mao was still asleep, but his face looked much normal. Lemongrass stretched out his hand and touched it, and he no longer had a fever.
Lemongrass knows in her heart that this is the Qingxin Pill that has worked. Since Xin Mao had nothing to do, she would no longer waste time.
She took out a small shovel from the woodshed, held it in her hand, and quietly walked out of Sixianlou.
Before going to the latrine just now, Xiangmaozi had already put the paper charm in his arms. Now she quietly walked to the central street of Sixianlou alone.
It was the darkest time before dawn, and the town was sealed off. There is no trace of popularity in front or behind.
Xiangmaozi was not afraid of this. She carried a small lantern and put it aside. Using the weak light, she began to pry the green bricks on the ground with all her strength.
The blue bricks in Huangshi Town have been stepped on until they are very solid. Lemongrass slowly inserted the shovel along the cracks in the bricks, and repeatedly loosened them. It lasted for almost an hour. It was almost dawn, and then he managed to pry up a piece of blue brick, revealing the dark earth below.
She wiped the sweat on her head without hesitation, took out the paper charm given by the immortal from her arms, and then gently threw it on the black earth under the blue bricks.
The paper talisman was originally folded softly. But as soon as it fell to the ground, it suddenly stood up straight, as if there was a rope hanging on it!
Then, with a swoosh, it burrowed into the soil and couldn't even see its shadow!
Xiangmaozi was shocked. They stretched out their hands to pull the black soil and rubbed their hands full of black mud, but they didn't even see the shadow of the paper charm. Citron didn't give up, so he came over with a shovel and dug until he dug two feet down, but there was no sign of the paper charm.
She finally gave up. This was probably the power of the Immortal Talisman. Citronella filled the hole and pushed the rocks back into place.
At this moment, the sky had just become hazy and transparent, turning from deep dark to light blue. Lemongrass looked towards Dongshan in the distance. On the edge of the mountains of Dongshan in the distance, a golden light spot was revealed.
Its daybreak!
At the foot of Lemongrass is the bluestone road of Central Avenue in Huangshi Town.
Lemongrass couldn't see it, but a thick black air was quickly retreating from here into the distance, as if something was driving them away.
And as the black energy receded, a shallow white spiritual energy was slowly rising from the ground, rising to a distance of about ten feet, and began to spread around.
The place where the white aura rose was the big blue stone brick that Citronella had just covered.
