"what happened?"
Zhu Qiaoyu wanted to go up the mountain to see the immortal and seek medicine, but found that she couldn't even climb one step.
The steps are clearly in front of you, but you can't step on them no matter what. Each foot falls, half an inch in front of the steps.
When I was anxious and anxious, a voice came from the mountain.
"This is the road to immortality. It is difficult for those who are not destined to climb it. You can go to Penglai if you get the spring stone, but there is no chance of becoming an immortal. Your road is in the human world."
"Immortal Lord?" Zhu Qiaoyu was stunned at first, and then hurriedly knelt down in front of the mountain road, "Immortal Lord knows that this little girl has no such delusions. She came to Penglai just to ask the Immortal Lord for a magical elixir to cure her friend's hysteria. disease."
"..."
Su Qing on the top of the mountain was rarely speechless.
The moment Zhu Qiaoyu entered Penglai, Su Qing already knew her purpose. But there is really no way to satisfy this wish.
When it comes to elixirs, there are many on the island. Just grab a handful of grass and go out, and it can solve 90% of the illnesses in the world. But there is really no medicine that can cure Xu Jinlin's disease.
"Stay on the island for three days and look for opportunities. After three days, regardless of whether you have gained anything or not, I will send you away." Su Qing said another sentence and stopped talking.
"There are only three days..." Zhu Qiaoyu was disappointed.
"The Immortal Lord obviously wants me to find the medicine myself, but where can I find it on such a big island? And there are only three days..."
I had the heart to plead again, but I still resisted the idea.
"Three days are very short. If you offend the immortal, I'm afraid you will be kicked out immediately... That's all, just three days. I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I also have a way of identifying medicinal herbs. As long as you use your heart, you can definitely do it. turn up."
Zhu Qiaoyu kowtowed to the mountain three times, and immediately went to the grass to search.
It’s clear what I’m looking for, it’s some herb that calms the nerves.
Similar herbs from the outside world will definitely not be of much use. But Penglai is a fairy island, and the Anshen Grass is also an Anshen Grass. No matter how serious Xu Jinlin's illness is, he can definitely be cured by medicine.
After searching for a while, Zhu Qiaoyu realized her naivety.
There were almost no flowers and plants everywhere in Penglai that he could recognize. Even the most ordinary grass is completely different from what is outside.
The difference between pure fairy grass and mortal grass is not the difference, but the difference in varieties.
If you were an ordinary person, you might not be able to see anything. But in the eyes of Zhu Qiaoyu, a doctor, the difference is too big.
Almost all plants can be found similar outside, but these in Penglai obviously retain more original characteristics. It has a wild and ancient atmosphere, more like the existence of grandfathers and ancestors.
I found a few suspected soothing herbs, but Zhu Qiaoyu didn't dare to take them back and use them like this.
Even if it is the same herb, there will be differences in medicinal properties if picked in different seasons and locations. This was something that had been passed down for generations, and it was difficult for her to determine whether the medicinal properties were what she imagined.
If the medicine happened to have the opposite properties, it would be better not to come to Penglai this time.
"What should I do?" Zhu Qiaoyu was very anxious.
She wanted to cure Xu Jinlin so much because she felt that she was responsible.
He ridiculed the young Xu Jinlin in every possible way and gave that frail young man a wrong concept. Regardless of whether it was caused by subsequent changes or not, she has an unshirkable responsibility.
"How about going to ask the Immortal Lord again? But he said it just now. If I ask again rashly, will it be a taboo..."
Zhu Qiaoyu was hesitating when she suddenly saw the grass move and a small snake crawled over.
Looking at the little snake, which was not vicious at all, Zhu Qiaoyu suddenly thought of a good idea.
"I'm so stupid, why do I have to ask the Immortal Lord?" Zhu Qiaoyu patted her thigh.
"There are spiritual birds that understand human nature in Di Sheng Qian Continent. The beings on Penglai Island are naturally more amazing, and their wisdom is no worse than that of humans. It is not advisable to ask the Immortal Lord rashly. You can try asking the immortal beasts and birds on the island for help."
Seeing that the little snake had not crawled far, Zhu Qiaoyu quickly followed it.
The little snake didn't crawl very fast, and slowly reached the spring. He put his head into the spring and took a sip of water, then pulled back, shook it vigorously, and spit out the water again.
Fighting also requires intermissions to allow for proper recovery and rejuvenation. Every time he finished his daily routine with the Luan Bird, the little snake would come here to clean its mouth.
The feeling of having your mouth burned by fire is not pleasant, but the coolness of the spring water can make it more comfortable.
Zhu Qiaoyu chased after him all the way and happened to see this scene in his eyes.
"This is……"
The spring water reflected the light, so clear that it almost didn't exist. It's like flowing crystal amber, and like beautiful white satin floating. When the little snake spurts out water, it emits a colorful glow.
After staring blankly for a while, an idea flashed in Zhu Qiaoyu's mind, "The spring water nourishes the fairy grass in Penglai. This is the original power. As long as you bring this water back, wouldn't it be more effective than any medicinal herbs?"
Zhu Qiaoyu trotted to the downstream position, dipped her hand in some spring water, smelled it, and licked her fingers with her tongue.
"Xianquan!"
Zhu Qiaoyu's eyes sparkled.
The spring water has no smell, but the coolness you smell is like washing your soul. After licking a little bit, the power penetrated deeply into the limbs and bones, and the realm even showed signs of loosening.
The water from such a fairy spring is better than all miraculous medicines.
"Thank you Fairy Snake for your advice."
Zhu Qiaoyu bowed and thanked the little snake, and then couldn't wait to take out a small bottle to fill it with water.
But then, the situation happened again when I went to the Immortal Road.
No matter how hard she tried, the bottle couldn't touch the water. It was clear that my hand had reached the spring water, but the bottle still contained less than half a drop. It seems that the spring water is alive, perfectly avoiding the small porcelain bottle.
"No luck?"
Zhu Qiaoyu's eyes were full of disappointment when she thought of what Su Qing had said before. But looking at this precious fairy spring water, I am really unwilling to give up. He looked at the little snake beside him, gritted his teeth secretly, and knelt down to worship him with a glimmer of hope.
"The little girl Zhu Qiaoyu has a friend who is suffering from a serious illness and needs the water of this fairy spring to save his life. Unfortunately, the little girl is not lucky enough to take out the water. I ask the fairy snake to give me some advice and help. The little girl is here to work as a cow or a horse. , and repay your kindness..."
The little snake blinked, seeming a little embarrassed.
It feels good to be asked for, but the problem is that it doesn't know how to do it.
What's so hard about spring water is that it soaks in it every day. This human being is too stupid to do such a simple thing well.
I originally wanted to turn around and walk away, but it was rare to be begged by someone, and I felt that I couldn't lose face. Especially the little Luan bird didn't know when it came, and it was standing on a tree not far away. He raised his neck proudly, as if he was despising it.
"Hiss..."
Unwilling to be humiliated, the little snake turned around twice and came up with an idea.
After searching around, I found a piece of stone with a depression. I bit it and stirred it in the spring water, then filled it with some water.
He hissed at Zhu Qiaoyu twice and poured out the water contained in the stone. He crawled over and took Zhu Qiaoyu's small bottle in his mouth, throwing it aside.
The meaning is very clear, if this one doesn't hold water, just change it.
Zhu Qiaoyu blinked and seemed to understand what the little snake meant. .
"You mean my bottle won't work? If you want to take away the water from the fairy spring, you have to use something from the fairy family?"
My understanding is slightly different, but the meaning is basically the same.
The little snake nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the little Luan Bird provocatively.
Luanniao turned away, very disdainful.
"Thank you, Fairy Snake." Zhu Qiaoyu thanked the little snake again, and then went to pick up the stone pieces that the little snake had thrown away.
But, she couldn't pick it up.
I went to pick up other ones, but I couldn't get them either.
This time Zhu Qiaoyu was not in a hurry, she thought carefully and took out her piece of stone. Put it tentatively into the water, and then take it out again. The stone was indeed dipped in water.
"This is acceptable!"
Zhu Qiaoyu was overjoyed at first, and then distressed.
Her stone is round, so how can it hold water?
The little snake shook his head, as if he thought this man was stupid.
But it only has so much patience, and it can't continue to give guidance. Besides, it doesn't know how to give instructions.
"Chirp..." The luan bird chirped twice, seeming to challenge the little snake, and also seemed to remind it of its idea.
Then the little Luan bird flew down from the tree, grabbed a stone with its claws, went to the river bank, and threw it against a big stone.
With a click, the stone broke into several pieces.
The little Luan bird then used its claws to pull back and forth, trying to see if it could find a dented piece.
Zhu Qiaoyu watched from the side and seemed to understand again.
"Thank you Fairy Bird for your advice."
Zhu Qiaoyu felt that she was really lucky.
Not only did the fairy snake give guidance, but the fairy bird also came to help. The fairy beasts on Penglai Island are indeed kind.
Zhu Qiaoyu took her stone to the river, found a large stone with edges, and tried to grind it a few times.
When outside, the stone is virtually indestructible. But after grinding here for a few times, a dent was actually made.
"It works."
Zhu Qiaoyu squatted by the river and rubbed hard.
Little Snake and Luanniao watched for a while, a little confused at first, but soon understood what Zhu Qiaoyu was going to do.
They stared at each other vindictively, hissing and chirping, as if they wanted to prove their own merit.
Su Qing saw it clearly from the top of the mountain and was speechless for a while.
This should be considered fate.
But why, Su Qing couldn't explain.
Zhu Qiaoyu was grinding stones by the spring, and Xu Jinlin faced a powerful enemy in Qianzhou.
"Taoist Master, Uncle Chu."
After returning to Qianzhou for more than a year, Xu Jinlin's face showed emotion for the first time. No longer the domineering and cold-hearted person before, he bowed respectfully and handed over his hand.
Huang Songzi, the master of Baihemen, and Chu Ye, the master of Qingyi Building.
These two people are not only legendary seniors in the world, but also elders who single-handedly raised him in a foreign land.
"You shouldn't have come." Xu Jinlin's expression was very complicated, "You have all withdrawn from the world for a long time, why bother to come out and wade into this muddy water."
"When Xiao Lin'er founded the sect, how could we, the elders, not come to congratulate him?" Huang Songzi, who has white beard and beard, is still smiling, with two white eyebrows twitching, "It's just The old man doesn’t like the name of your gang.”
"Xiao Linzi, if you still recognize me as your uncle, tell me the truth!" Chu Ye, who also had white hair, was much more direct, scolding him with a dark face. "Recruit a group of scum and give the gang such a name. What on earth do you want to do!"
"Since you are here, it means you already have the answer, so why bother asking more questions." Xu Jinlin raised his head.
"The world will meet, so naturally we will dominate the world."
…
There is a strange snake and red bird in Penglai. Although it is a beast, it is fair and loves justice. I saw a woman fetching water, but she didn’t have a dish. Then they grinded stones and used tools, vying to help each other and express condolences to Zhou Zhi.
