No matter how many times it was forged, the gauze wrapped around the palm of the blacksmith Xue was already seeping with blood. The two pieces of alloy were gradually beaten into one, and the blade gradually took shape.
Lin Xixue knew that the follow-up would be boring fine adjustments and sharpening, and she had no patience to continue observing.
She decided to go to the book store first to see if there were any books related to herbal medicine.
But the blacksmith's method of asking the statue for the so-called "Sky Fire" really frightened her.
I thought he was just an ordinary blacksmith in the market, but I didn't expect that he would also use such weird methods secretly.
She felt that if she came into contact with the green flame that burned everything, she would have to shed her skin even if she didn't die.
After all, it was a flame that could burn a clay crucible red in a few breaths. She couldn't imagine how high the temperature must be.
It seems that even seemingly ordinary mortals must not take it lightly in the future. Who knows what strange things these people have enshrined.
If you are not careful, you may capsize in the gutter.
But then again, the original purpose of this flame is obviously not to fight the enemy. After all, it is bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and kneeling, and it has been chopped down by someone in actual combat.
However, the statue of this blacksmith is Lao Jun... In the mythical stories of the previous life, there was also a deity that Lin Xixue was very familiar with, also called Taishang Lao Jun.
Is there any connection between the two?
Alas, the lack of information is really frustrating. She still can't figure out what the world is like.
However, since the blacksmith can also use this weird magical power, can he see the black feather coat on my body?
I still have to ask him when I go back to get the knife later.
While she was thinking, she arrived at the door of the largest bookstore in the city.
However, when the customers and shopkeepers in the bookshop saw her coming as a woman, they all had strange expressions on their faces, a look of disdain and some mockery.
After all, there were not many people who could read in ancient times, and even fewer women who could read.
But she didn't care about everyone's reaction at all, and walked into the bookstore without being humble or arrogant. Although he is a head shorter than many men in height, his cold temperament can overwhelm Shuang Aoxue.
She raised her head and scanned it with her consciousness to find the grass and trees she needed.
In fact, with her memory, she could just use her spiritual consciousness to memorize the entire book in a few breaths, but she didn't lack the money now, so she shouldn't do such a shameful thing.
After all, this grass and tree chronicle is also a piece of information collected and compiled by the author. Especially in ancient times, when information exchange was underdeveloped, this kind of work was even more difficult to do.
After paying the money and buying the grass and trees, she asked the shopkeeper: "Does the shopkeeper know where the City God's Temple is?"
"North of the city, you can see it if you walk north along the cross street in the city."
Sure enough, it was in the north of the city. It seemed that the strange coffin-carrying team last night was really sent by the City God to collect the souls.
Could it be that I made a big mistake due to a mistake...
"Thank you." Lin Xixue cupped her hands, thanked her in a cold voice, and quickly left the bookstore.
In the bookstore behind him, a young scholar wearing Ruyi Lingyun's dark floral gauze round-neck robe unfolded his folding fan with a "swish" sound, fanned the wind, and said with emotion: "We believe when did Liangcheng have such a man of character?" woman!"
Several scholars around him gathered around him like stars over the moon, teasingly saying: "Master Gu is going to have true feelings again this time?"
"Absurd, what do you mean, I have true love for every girl!" He closed his folding fan, nodded his neck gently, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't know where this girl lives."
"As long as you think about it, Master Gu, is it possible that there are still people who can't be found?"
"What do you know? I'm just a gentleman, and I'm not trying to arrest a criminal. I have to exchange my sincerity for true love. Do you understand?"
The scholar surnamed Gu hit the speaker on the head with a folding fan and said "education" seriously.
"Master Gu, this girl has just inquired about the City God's Temple, and she is obviously going to visit in the near future. Why not wait at the gate of the City God's Temple in advance, and we will surely meet again." Another scholar was making suggestions on the side.
"What a great idea! Come to my house in a few days to receive the reward!" He tapped the shoulders of those who agreed with his folding fan.
How did this group of people know that their conversation was clearly heard by Lin Xixue.
Lin Xixue didn't even bother to sneer, thinking it was best not to get involved with these cynical young men. Otherwise, I don't mind letting them experience the horror between life and death.
Although she no longer has any hope in this world and is indifferent to everything, this does not mean that she has a good temper.
After leaving the book shop, she walked directly to the medicine shop. On the way, she used her spiritual consciousness to read through the grass and tree records, and knew what the various herbs used by the great witchcraft were.
After grabbing the medicine at the medicine shop, she was ready to go back to the blacksmith shop to see the progress.
Just as he was about to leave the drug store, several tall figures rushed in, and Lin Xixue had to step aside to avoid them.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be a police officer from Yunzhou Prefecture, wearing the same clothes as the police officers last night.
The leading policeman looked around when he entered the door and shouted to the pharmacy clerk: "Where is Mr. Baili?"
"Sir, he is still resting in the back room. If the officials need consultation, they can come back in the afternoon. Sir, he is old and needs to rest."
"Forget the afternoon, we must invite Mr. Baili now. Early this morning, Master Wei and several brothers of the Jinling Division suddenly fell ill for some unknown reason. Now they are already dying, and they are all waiting for Mr. Baili to save their lives! "
Lin Xixue seemed to be standing aside obediently, but what she was thinking in her heart was that Mr. Wei, the Secretary of the Ling Dynasty, could he be the one who dealt with the walking corpse last night?
If he is really the one who dealt with the walking corpses, is there any connection between his strange disease and the walking corpses?
She decided to continue watching the show.
The young man looked embarrassed and said: "Sir, he has been doing free clinics for homeless people outside the city these days. He has become ill due to overwork. Now I'm afraid..."
"Yixuan... cough cough cough... still remember the first day I took you in... cough cough... how I taught you!"
Before the clerk could finish his words, he was interrupted by a weak scolding voice coming from the back hall of the drug store.
Lin Xixue guessed that the owner of this voice was probably the Mr. Baili mentioned by the guy named "Yixuan".
"Sir, but now you..." Yixuan argued.
"Ahem...I'll let you memorize what I taught you on the first day you started."
"Yes...whenever a great doctor treats a disease, he must calm his mind and calm his mind, have no desires or demands, first have a heart of great mercy and compassion, and vow to save the suffering of souls..." I heard Yi Xuan's voice. It was very aggrieved to go up.
"anything else!"
"Don't look forward or backward, worry about your own good or bad, protect your life..." His voice became smaller and smaller.
"Copy these words a thousand times tonight!" Although Mr. Baili's voice was weak, it conveyed an unquestionable majesty.
Mr. Baili closed his inner clothes and walked out slowly while holding on to the wall. He gave a little salute to the messengers and said, "I'm making everyone laugh because I don't know how to teach my disciples. I'll take care of it now and go." Diagnosis and treatment.”
Lin Xixue looked at Mr. Baili. His gray hair was withered and messy. There was already a circle of darkness around his eyes. He had not rested for an unknown amount of time.
Under such circumstances, he still insists on going out for medical treatment. If he really just wants to treat diseases and save people, and has no selfish motives, it is indeed very admirable.
However, Lin Xixue had already experienced firsthand what the world was like.
Can such a selfless and selfless saint really exist in this world?
Lin Xixue was a little suspicious...
