Spirit rhinoceros

Chapter 36

"Oops, she must be suffering from miasma?" Xia Houfeng didn't think too much, stepped forward to help her up, and shook her violently: "Hey! Wake up! Wake up!"

Consonance is completely unconscious.

"You're not going to die, are you?" Xia Houfeng yelled, and was pushed away by Mo Long as soon as he finished speaking.

Mo Long directly probed her neck veins, then quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xia Houfeng angrily: "Let Mo Ji bring the shark beads, hurry up!"

Xiahou Feng responded, and quickly turned back the same way.

Mo Long carefully observed Lingxi's condition. It stands to reason that the peach blossom miasma is poisonous, and people who have been infected by the miasma should have black faces, but Lingxi's skin color at this moment is different from normal, but it is white and almost transparent.Or, is it because of the difference in dragon physique?Mo Long couldn't be sure for a while, but only vaguely felt that it might not just be because of the miasma.

After a while, Xia Houfeng took the shark beads and came back.Although Mo Ji treasured the shark beads, but when she heard that Lingxi was unconscious, she immediately took out the shark beads and handed them to him without any hesitation.At the same time, Dong Lichang and the others learned that something happened to Lingxi, and hurried over here.

Mo Long carefully put the shark beads into Lingxi's mouth...

"She should pick more peaches and carry them with her. She is too inexperienced to travel the rivers and lakes. Isn't it, brother?" Xia Houfeng squatted beside him with concern, muttering, "Fortunately, we will look for her later, otherwise she will appoint Die here. Tell me, she came to find her brother with great effort, but before he found him, she took her own life. How wronged I am. The people of the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea are too weak. She If brother is similar to her, then it must be a disaster, I don't think there is any need to look for it..."

Shark beads protect the body, but it seems that the consonance has not improved at all, and there is no sign of waking up.

"Bring the old man on your back, hurry up!" Mo Long interrupted the chattering Xia Houfeng.

"Oh... is she going to die?" Xia Houfeng became a little nervous when he realized something was wrong.

Mo Long glanced sharply, "Go!"

"Oh oh, oh!"

Xia Houfeng didn't dare to delay any longer, he quickly turned back, like a gust of wind, he carried his short legs back.

"Old man." Mo Long called out in a deep voice, "Shark beads don't seem to be useful to her."

Dong Lichang leaned over to observe the consonance carefully, felt her breath, felt her pulse again, pondered for a long time before saying: "She seems to have entered the breath of a turtle."

Mo Long understood, but Xia Houfeng didn't, and asked in surprise, "Turtle's breath?"

"It's a state of suspended animation." Dong Lichang explained as simply as possible, "This is a breathing method that imitates the turtle clan's breathing and breathing exercises. It shuts down all six senses of color, sound, fragrance, touch, and touch, and minimizes physical consumption."

"Turtle clan? But old man, you are not like this?" Xia Houfeng wondered.

At this time, Mo Ji and Bai Xi just arrived. They were not as fast as Mo Long and Xia Houfeng, and they had to beware of the miasma in the forest, so they didn't dare to take a big breath, so they didn't dare to move too fast.

Dongli Changbai glanced at Xia Houfeng, and was too lazy to explain to him, frowned and looked at Lingxi: "Could it be that she shut off her six senses to prevent miasma from entering her body? But it doesn't make sense, unless she doesn't want to leave this peach blossom forest at all. .”

Mo Long asked: "What should I do now? How can I wake her up?"

"I can't wake her up. She has lost all six senses right now. She can't see, hear, or feel when she is beaten and pinched. She can only wait for her to wake up by herself."

"Wh, what... She doesn't feel it when you beat her and pinch her? I'll try."

Bai Xi had never encountered such a situation before, she reached out to pinch Lingxi's arm, but before she touched a trace of her skirt, Mo Long gave her a cold look, and she had to retract her hand in embarrassment.

"It's useless, I just pinched her, and there was no response." He said lightly.

Bai Xi glanced at Lingxi's hand, and there was a deep purple bruise on the tiger's mouth, which was quite deep, obviously pinched hard.He smacked his lips and said nothing.

"Let's get out of this peach forest first and then make plans. Xiaofeng, you carry her on your back." Dongli sighed, straightened up, and pointed out, "If you let her go back to the East Sea with the three-headed jiao earlier, It’s no longer the case.”

Knowing that Dong Lichang was actually speaking to herself, Mo Long did not reply, but lowered her head to pick up the silver pin on the ground, brushed off the dust, and squatted down with her back to Dong Lichang: "I'll carry you."

Dong Lichang climbed onto his back and said unwillingly, "Did you hear what I just said?"

"En." Mo Long replied casually.

"Then what are you going to do with her?"

"She's not dead right now, what can I do?" Mo Long said angrily, "When you get out of this forest, throw it on the side of the road. Everyone has their own life, and I can't control it, okay?"

Seeing that he was angry, Dong Li had no choice but to smooth things over: "I didn't say no, why are you in a hurry."

"Who is in a hurry?!"

"Okay, okay, pretend I didn't say anything, pretend I didn't say anything."

Dong Lichang sighed quietly again, and the breath just sprayed on Mo Long's neck.

"If you didn't say anything, you would just sigh. Wouldn't it be over if I didn't care about her? Why are you sighing again!" Mo Long said relentlessly.

Dongli Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Can't I just sigh?"

"At the restaurant, I didn't want to take care of it, but you wanted to take care of it. Why are you sighing now?" Mo Long said dissatisfied, "If it wasn't for you in the first place, would these things happen now?"

Dongli was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was referring to rescuing Lingxi from Lord Banyuan in Changliu City, and he said helplessly, "Yes, I'm the one who's meddling, that's fine."

"At the beginning, it was you who wanted to take care of it, but now it's you who don't care..."

"I didn't say no, let's just take care of it. Take care of it! Take it to the end, okay?" Dong Lichang patted him on the shoulder to coax him.Mo Long seldom argues with him, let alone being so restless and restless.Dong Lichang faintly realized that Lingxi no longer seemed like a business deal in Mo Long's heart.And this point, I'm afraid even Mo Long himself hasn't noticed it yet.

At this moment, the peach blossom forest has lost all its leaves and turned into a bare forest.The branches are also starting to dry up, the water is leaving the tree at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bark is peeling off bit by bit.The dead branches broke off in the wind and hit everyone head-on and face-to-face.

Everyone could only bury their heads and walk forward hard, and ran for another five or six miles before they came out of this peach blossom forest.Although it was not dusk at this time, the sky was dark, with layers of dark clouds pressing overhead, and a heavy rain was coming.This place is close to Guo, and there are no neighboring villages in the distance. From a distance, you can only see the corners of the ridges and eaves exposed among the dense trees on the mountainside. Everyone thought it was the best way to avoid the rain, so they rushed to it. Only when they got closer did they see that this is an old house temple.

There are more than a dozen ascetic monks in the temple. They don’t refuse visitors, but they are not enthusiastic. They pointed out to them where the side rooms and kitchens are, and then they concentrated on chanting.

The wing room is quite large, but it is extremely simple, with old tables and chairs, straw mats and thin quilts.Xia Houfeng was a little annoyed at first, so he took out the silver and dragged Bai Xi to find the monks in the monastery. After a while, the two came back in despair.It turned out that the monk's room was worse than the guest room. There were no tables, no chairs, no beds, and only a few straw mats spread out on the spot, which made people feel embarrassed to say anything.

Fortunately, there is firewood in the kitchen, rice in the rice jar, and a large pile of yams piled up by the wall.Bai Xi rolled up her sleeves and cleaned her hands, cooked a big pot of sweet potato porridge, and shared it with everyone.The little meatball rested its head on the side of the bowl, and it was the most delicious to eat.

It was pouring rain outside, hitting the mud in front of the house, and soon merged into several thin water channels. With the force of the rain, the water channels gradually widened and became more turbid... Mo Long leaned absent-mindedly against the door , letting the splashing rain wet the boots, I don't know what Yizhi was thinking.

"Why isn't she awake yet?"

Xia Houfeng propped his elbows, looking worriedly at Lingxi who was still unconscious.Mo Ji leaned against him and also looked at Ling Xi, wondering how she could enter the turtle's breath state.

Bai Xi came up with an idea: "Why don't you invite someone to read the scriptures for her? Anyway, we are in the temple, and we have everything ready."

"Extraordinary chanting? She didn't die!" Xia Houfeng vetoed it, and turned to ask Dongli Chief, "What should I do?"

Dong Lichang shrugged, without answering, he raised his chin, motioning for him to ask Mo Long.

Xia Houfeng didn't think much about it, he raised his voice and called Mo Long: "Brother Long, what should we do?"

Mo Long didn't respond.

Xia Houfeng called out two more times: "Brother Long! Brother Long!"

Only then did Mo Long come to his senses, and lazily turned around: "What's wrong?"

"If she stays awake, what shall we do?" Xia Houfeng asked.

Mo Long was silent for a moment, then said flatly: "Give her back to the people in Donghai, anyway... her matter has nothing to do with us."

Xia Houfeng was startled, but before he could speak, he heard Chief Dongli nod his head in agreement.

"It's most appropriate to hand her over to Donghai, and I think so too. Fortunately, she's only in a state of tortoise rest, and we have nothing to do with it." After all, Nie Ji met them face to face, and if there is any coincidence, Donghai will It would be unfair to put all the bills on their heads.Thinking about it, Dong Lichang felt his back sweating.

While they were talking, another group of people entered the temple in the rain, about five or six people, dressed in soap cloth open clothes, wearing eight-eared hemp shoes, dusty, pushing two carriages full of black pottery. Large urns, each half the height of a person.

This group of people seemed to come and go frequently, and they didn't need monks to lead the way, so they arranged the horses and vehicles familiarly.They were also quite surprised when they saw Mo Long and the others, and looked inside and out several times.Curious in her heart, Bai Xi straightened her robe and walked around to get close.After a while, he came back bouncing around with a piece of dried meat in his mouth.

"I've found out all about it. Guess why they came here?" Bai Xi was very excited.

Everyone rested separately, and no one paid attention to him, except Xia Houfeng.

"You still rubbish other people's food?" Xia Houfeng looked at him contemptuously, "...Didn't you think of bringing me a piece?"

Bai Xi swallowed the jerky in two mouthfuls: "I'm telling you something serious. Guess where they come from? Guess three times."

Mo Ji, who was already preoccupied, gave him a blank look: "Shut up if you don't want to talk."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Bai Xi could only say, "They came from Tianjing Villa!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Dong Lichang's head poked out from the turtle shell. Mo Long opened his eyes and looked at it. Mo Ji sat up straight... Bai Xi was very satisfied with receiving such attention, and continued: "There is a spring in the back mountain here, called Huiquan. They came here to collect water from Huiquan and send it to Tianjing Villa."

"Is there no spring water near Tianjing Villa?" Xia Houfeng wondered, "Is it worth going all the way here to get spring water?"

"I heard that it was appointed by Xuan Huan. The spring water from this place must be used to make tea." Bai Xi seemed to know what he was going to say next, and then said, "They said that Xuan Huan's tongue is not ordinary. Once transported spring water , encountered an accident on the way, the car overturned, and the spring water was spilled, they secretly replaced it with other spring water in order to get away with it, but Xuan Huan tasted it immediately."

Dong Lichang twisted his beard: "It turns out that those big urns outside are for transporting spring water." "

Bai Xi went on to say: "Getting spring water is also very troublesome. When the rain stopped, they had to dig out the well, and then waited in the middle of the night, until the new spring gushed out before they could get it. Those big urns on the car, there were still piles of broken rocks at the bottom of the urns , Said it was to keep the spring water clear. By the way, there is a rule that water must be taken on the day of the full moon, and if the day is delayed, you have to wait for the next month."
