Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 7 Hundred-Day Wormwood

The night is about to open.

You can vaguely see a wisp of red cracking the paint on the horizon, and the surrounding torches clearly reflect the faces of the escorts and porters.

After walking in the wilderness for many years, monsters and ghosts are not uncommon. All the escorts looked at each other, and they were all staring into the distance, ready to go.

The atmosphere gradually became depressing, almost suffocating in the heavy snowy sky.

"禫!"

The next moment, a black shadow came towards the crowd. Uncle Wang was frightened and hurriedly avoided it. The long knife in his hand slashed and hit the black shadow's back.

"Ow—"

The black shadow's body suddenly trembled, and brown hair could be vaguely seen flying around.

"Take down this official!"

"."

A group of escorts took this opportunity to surround him, and without missing any chance, several spears pierced the black shadow.

With the torch in his hand and the smelly blood, the true appearance of this black shadow slowly emerged.

——Human head and animal body.

Rigid fuzz is spread all over the body, hiding muscle mass. Scarlet muscle tissue is still attached to the thick claws. Scarlet pupils are dilated, and breaths are constantly exhaled from the mouth.
  "Is this a mandrill? It doesn't look like it."

"How can a mandrill be so big? It's the size of an adult. Could it be that he's a half-demon?"

"."

Surrounded by a group of escorts, the young prince walked towards the half-human monster.

However, when several torches illuminated the half-demon clearly, his expression suddenly changed and he said:
  "Uncle Liu? Is that you?"

"."

The clan emblem on the half-demon's clothes clearly told him that the half-demon in front of him was the Uncle Liu he had been waiting for.

Roar--

However, all he received in response was a low roar.

The long and smelly fangs looked particularly ferocious under the light of the torch.
  "Uncle Liu? Who made you become like this?"

The young prince turned around slowly, his brows were narrowed, his tone was a little low, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were slightly cold.

"."

"It's zinnia."

A gentle voice sounded.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound and looked towards the source of the sound. They saw the handsome young man in fox fur walking towards the half-demon and spoke warmly.

The young prince raised his eyebrows, came back to his senses, and looked at Mr. Lu who was carrying the snow fox on his back:

"Mr. Lu, you say it's mugwort? What is mugwort?"

"."

Lu Chenran approached the half-demon, squatted down, and looked at the roaring monster with a calm face.

On the title page of the golden book in my mind, lines of writing slowly emerged:

[Being associated with mugwort: (0/10)]

[There is a magic grass called moxa in the south, but its name is not moxa (Tao Xing Yi Jiazi). If a mountain man carries it into the forest, the wild beasts will escape, and he can see the hole in the ground, and he knows where Shen Qi is. If he does not return for more than a hundred days, the moxa will enter his throat. , the hair and tail become a beast. 】

【.】

He didn't know about Hundred Day Wormwood before, but it was the title page of the Golden Book that reminded him that this caravan accepted him without charging any fees, so he took this opportunity to return the favor.

Lu Chenran thought for a while, then sorted out his words, and said in a calm tone:

"It is said that there is a kind of spiritual grass in the south called mugwort. It is very rare. If mountain people take it, they can see all kinds of rare things in the mountain. Their eyes can even penetrate stones, and they can also avoid the mountains. It’s just that after taking this kind of mugwort, you can’t go into the mountains for more than a hundred days.” “If you delay the time to go down the mountain due to greed, or fail to spit out the mugwort in time, the mugwort will enter the throat. , covered with long hair, turning into a beast and gradually losing its mind."

"."

The young prince looked at Lu Chenran with a slight change in his eyes. The man who came down from the mountain in front of him seemed to be something more than simple. That's right, who of those who went to the capital to seek immortality were just like ordinary people?
  Since he understands such rumors, he probably also has some experience in its treatment methods.
  He took a deep breath, then bowed to Lu Chenran and said:

"Master Lu, I wonder if there is a cure for Uncle Liu's condition?"

"If Young Master has a cure, please help me. Uncle Liu is particularly important to me. As long as Young Master can cure Uncle Liu, whatever request Young Master Lu has, as long as the Prince's Palace can fulfill it, we will give full support."

"."

Lu Chenran chuckled, thought for a moment, and answered warmly:

"It's not a big deal to make a request. The young prince is willing to let Lu take a carriage to Beijing. It is a great favor. If Lu is useful, I will help you."

"It's just that Lu has never encountered such a rumored thing like Hundred-Day Ai, but Lu is willing to try his best. Please also trouble Uncle Wang to tie Uncle Liu up and carry him indoors so that Lu can treat him."

"."

The young prince nodded and waved his hands. Several escorts tied the half-demon tightly and carried him into the young prince's room according to Lu Chenran's request. Lu Chenran followed him and walked in together. .

Indoors, there are curls of agarwood floating in the air, creating shadows on the screen.

The young prince and Lu Chenran were sitting across from each other. All the escorts and servants were dismissed and they were standing quietly outside the house. Only Uncle Wang was left with him.

There was a bamboo slip on the desk, half unfolded and half rolled. He lowered his eyebrows, then withdrew his hands and folded them on his knees, and said seriously:

"If Mr. Lu can cure Uncle Liu, this kindness will be unforgettable in the Li Mansion in Beijing."

"Young Master Lu, if you have any needs, just ask me. I will ask my servants to prepare them for you. I just ask you to cure Uncle Liu."

"."

Lu Chenran smiled and nodded, and then said:

"Please ask the young prince to leave first. Lu may have an accident during the treatment and injure the young prince."

"."

The young prince took a deep look at Uncle Liu who had turned into a half-demon, then stood up and walked out of the room with Uncle Wang.

There was only one person, one demon and one fox left in the house.

Agarwood smokes people, and the smoke rolls up to haunt the soul.

Lu Chenran picked up a futon from the ground, and then sat three feet away from the half-demon, meditating and entering concentration.

Xue Hu looked at everything in front of him anxiously.

The fox opened his mouth slightly, blinked his eyelashes twice, took a breath, and slowly followed the annoyance in his heart. After a long time, he finally calmed down the annoyance in his chest.

Although the fox didn't know why Ran'er knew about such strange things as Bodhisattva, what could he do? Is this something he can heal?
  The monster transformed by Hundred Days Ai is extremely cruel and can hurt people in an instant if you are not careful.

Thinking like this, Xue Hu raised his tail slightly, thinking that if Ran'er was in danger, he would stun him and then take him away.
  The night is long, quiet and silent.

The snow is still falling.

The crane paper windows are shining white, reflecting the bright light inside the house.

After a whole night, there was still very little agarwood on the low table.

For a long time, there was a cockcrow outside the window, and finally dawn——

Lu Chenran suddenly opened his eyes, and the writing on the title page of the golden book in his mind slowly flickered:
  [Becoming associated with Aiguai: (1/10)]

[If someone swallows moxa for a hundred days and turns into a half-demon, you can catch him unawares, smoke his eyes until they burst into tears, and strike his throat with a finger to make him vomit moxa for a hundred days, and then he will gradually turn into a half-demon body. Rest for half a year and your body will recover. 】

【.】

He glanced at the half-demon huddled in the corner and said to himself:
  "It seems that your life should not be cut off."
