It started to drizzle in Cangyun Mountain.
The rain is as cool and clear as the morning mist, floating down one after another.
Sang Luo slung the dark blue Tai Chi bag on his body, locked the door, and planned to go down the mountain to find a destined person, and use the locust wood Ruyi in the bag to exchange for a desktop computer.
There is only one stone step road from the ancient town at the foot of the mountain to Cangyun Temple.
Villagers from Cangyun Village live on both sides of the stone steps, and at the end of the stone steps is Cangyun Temple.
When Sang Luo climbed yesterday, he counted the steps and found that there were nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in total.
From the perspective of yin and yang, odd numbers are yang and even numbers are yin. The steps of the yang house must be odd numbers.
"Nine" is the ultimate yang number. Generally, this number is only used in the Temple of Heaven where the royal family worships heaven.
Cangyun Temple is built at the end of the 999 steps, which is enough to show the status of Cangyun Temple thousands of years ago.
It is really strange that a Taoist temple that has been passed down for thousands of years suddenly declined without leaving a single descendant.
Sang Luo walked down the mountain step by step along the steps until he reached the 483rd level.
Several yellow and green flower snakes flashed across the stone steps and into the grass nearby.
A trace of surprise suddenly flashed across Sang Luo's originally calm face. This snake was the same kind as the snake corpse next to the ancient well in the temple.
"How come snakes unique to foreign lands appear in Rongcheng?" Sang Luo murmured to himself.
With doubts, Sang Luo was about to continue walking down the mountain. Within two steps, he bumped into Village Chief Wang and his wife who had just returned from the mountain.
"Will Niuniu's strange disease be passed on to us?" Village Chief Wang's daughter-in-law Liu Lan asked with a sad face, pulling on the hem of Village Chief Wang's clothes.
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he immediately darkened his face and said, "You worthless bitch, if it can be passed on, are you still planning to abandon our Niuniu?"
Liu Lan was so anxious that she slapped the backs of her hands on her palms, "Niuniu's strange disease will definitely not be cured! Then we two have to live, right?"
She looked at the evil substance that her daughter had been infected with. It was exactly the same as the symptoms suffered by the master of Cangyun Temple and his disciples a few years ago. How miserable she died in the end! She was afraid when she recalled the scene where the Taoist priests collected the corpses at Cangyun Temple.
"What are you talking about in front of the children? Doesn't Niu Niu make such a fuss every summer? Just wait until winter!"
Village Chief Wang tried to convince his wife.
Sang Luo looked over the shoulder of Village Chief Wang. A little girl wrapped in a blanket was lying on the back of Village Chief Wang. It was midsummer and the heat was extremely hot, but the little girl's body was wrapped tightly, leaving only The lower two round eyes are still exposed.
The eyeballs were pitch black, so black that they were red, the whites of the eyes were gone, and the entire eye sockets were a dark red, as if a few drops of blood could be squeezed out at any time.
"Niuniu can't survive this winter."
Although Niu Niu only showed her eyes, Sang Luo could also tell that this girl couldn't survive this summer.
Village Chief Wang followed the direction of the sound, raised his head, and immediately saw Sang Luo standing on the stone steps.
She was very unhappy in her heart, "What do you know, girl? Niu Niu does this every summer, and it will be better in winter."
Sang Luo curled his lips slightly, "Niuniu has been sick for three years. She starts to get sick every year after the Waking of Insects, and recovers after the frost, right?"
Village Chief Wang nodded laboriously, as if his head weighed three thousand kilograms.
"Niuniu has been bitten by the Yin Snake Gu, and almost all the internal organs in her body have been eaten by the snake."
"What?" Village Chief Wang had an expression of disbelief, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, "Girl Sang Luo, you, do you have a way to remove the evil snake poison from our Niuniu?"
Although he did not believe that this young girl, Jianzi, could save his daughter, after all, the old patrons of Cangyun Temple had not been able to cure this poison. What could she, a young girl, Jianzi, do?
But he could really feel that the evil thing in Niu Niu was becoming more and more rampant. His daughter might be dying soon, and Sang Luo was like the last life-saving straw to him.
Liu Lan was not happy anymore, "Her father, are you confused? What can this little girl understand? She has been pretending to be in Cangyun Temple all day long. I think she is obviously a white-bone spirit talking in human language, and she is here to confuse the public with her lies!"
Sang Luo raised his eyebrows, "There are ways, but if you don't believe me, then that's it."
After Sang Luo finished speaking, he lowered his head and prepared to continue down the mountain.
She shouldn't have meddle in such a nosy matter and be called a goblin for no reason.
"Wait a minute! Girl, don't leave yet!" Village Chief Wang chased Sang Luo with Niuniu on his back, "This woman doesn't know anything, just leave her alone! Just help me, Niuniu, get rid of this evil thing. Bar!"
Just as Liu Lan was about to speak, Village Chief Wang killed him with a look.
Sang Luo looked at the grass where the flower snakes escaped just now, and then looked at the yard next to him where Village Chief Wang's family lived, "Did your Niuniu pull out a few snakes in the past few days?"
"Yes! That's right!" Village Chief Wang showed a hint of joy on his face. He didn't tell Sang Luo about Niuniu's situation, but Sang Luo could tell her. It seemed that Sang Luo really understood.
"Let's do this, girl Sangluo, you come with me to our house, and then we can talk slowly."
Sang Luo nodded, "Let's go."
Village Chief Wang led the way with Niu Niu on his back, Sang Luo followed behind Village Chief Wang, and Liu Lan followed behind Sang Luo.
After arriving home, Village Chief Wang put Niu Niu on the bed. There was a brass basin next to the bed, and there were some blood stains in the basin.
Village Chief Wang sighed, "This evil thing is very strange! Every year after the spring thunder, Niu Niu starts to bleed from her seven orifices, but when the frost comes, she miraculously heals herself! I don't know why!"
After listening to Village Chief Wang's story, Sang Luo nodded, "This snake poison has been in your Niuniu's body for three years."
"Everything is shocked, and the earthquake is thunder, so it is called Jingzhe, because the stinging insects are frightened and run away. After the Jingzhe, snakes and insects appear, and the snake gu in Niu Niu's body starts to act, so the disease starts every year after the Jingzhe."
"After the frost, the snakes and insects hibernated again, so they stopped in Niuniu's body, giving you the illusion of recovery without treatment."
"Snakes become adults in three years. This year happens to be the third year, and the snake is already an adult, so it ran out of Niuniu's body. But Niuniu's internal organs have been eaten by them."
Hearing this, Village Chief Wang couldn't help but burst into tears in his eyes, "Then, can this still be cured?"
Sang Luo nodded, "You need to take the antidote to promote organ regeneration in Niuniu's body."
"Then, what do we need to do?"
Sang Luo turned his head and looked at Niu Niu lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. Then he stepped forward, opened Niu Niu's eyes and looked at her carefully.
He turned around and said to Village Chief Wang: "Go and prepare the eggs laid by the black hen. I'm also preparing a black thread and a sewing needle."
