Chapter 5 A Thought of Life and Death

"It's finished."

Bai Ning, who closed his eyes, only felt that the fingers that had been pressing on his forehead were put down, and then Mu Jingchen's hoarse and weak voice came from his ears.

Hearing Mu Jingchen's words, Bai Ning felt that he had finally survived.

"Is the quenching done? Mu Jingchen is a lot..."

The day was dawning, the sun was a little dazzling, Bai Ning put his hand in front of his eyes and slowly opened his eyes, his face was full of smiles, and at the same time he said words of thanks, but when he saw Mu Jingchen's appearance at this time, his smile instantly turned into horror.

Mu Jingchen sat cross-legged on the ground, his head and hands hung down weakly, there were a little blood stains on his face, and now there were drops of blood flowing out of his seven orifices, sliding down the blood marks on his cheeks, and there was also a small pool of semi-congealed blood under the ground where he was sitting cross-legged.

"Mu Jingchen, Mu Jingchen, what's wrong with you, didn't you quench me my body? Why did you hurt like this? ”

Bai Ning looked panicked, put his hand on Mu Jingchen's shoulder and shook it gently, but Mu Jingchen only lowered his forehead and was gently shaken by him, and he didn't give him any response otherwise.

Seeing that Mu Jingchen didn't respond at all, Bai Ning stretched out his slightly trembling right hand and put it on the wing of his nose that was still dripping blood, and a little faint breath came from Mu Jingchen's nose.

"There is still gas, there is salvation."

Bai Ning was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, his face collapsed again in an instant, it is okay to see a doctor but need money, and where does this money come from.

didn't care so much, Bai Ning found the place where Mu Jingchen hid the money and rummaged through, and found fifteen bronze castings, he wanted to go directly to the doctor with the money at first, but after thinking about it, the money was not enough, even if the doctor was willing to come, maybe Mu Jingchen would be cold when he came.

So he tried to help Mu Jingchen, and found that after quenching his body, his strength became a lot greater, and he could drag Mu Jingchen, so he wiped two handfuls of ash on his face, wrapped Mu Jingchen in a quilt, and put a few pieces of thin wood that were anti-wear and tear at the bottom, tied it with hemp rope, and then dragged Mu Jingchen and the quilt in the direction of Taiping Town.

In the cold winter, a small figure grabbed the hemp rope on his shoulders and dragged the heavy Mu Jingchen behind him with difficulty.

In the process of moving forward, Mu Jingchen woke up once and told Bai Ning that this was just one of his doppelgangers, if the doppelganger died, it would only turn into a rune paper man and burn it automatically, and his body would not die because of this, but it was just a failure to enter the WTO this time, so give up, thanks to his care during this time.

Long-winded. Bai Ning replied.

Mu Jingchen smiled and fell asleep again.

I don't know if it was an hour or two hours, anyway, the sun had already risen from the beginning to the sky, and Bai Ning finally took Mu Jingchen to the gate of Taiping Town with difficulty.

"Help!! Someone is going to save my grandfather!! ”

At the gate of the town, Bai Ning shouted loudly, hoarse and heartbreaking.

Hearing Bai Ning's shout, it didn't take long for a few enthusiastic villagers to come over to help, and soon, Mu Jingchen was sent to the hospital by the villagers.

The doctor was an old man, with a cyan robe and a white beard, looking like a fairy wind and bones, and after seeing Mu Jingchen who was sent, he asked the villagers to send him to the inner room, and then told them to go back, and then closed the door of the inner room.

In the inner room, the old doctor with a long beard was taken aback after passing the pulse for Mu Jingchen, and then briefly checked Mu Jingchen's body, and then walked out.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult !!"

The doctor stroked his beard and shook his head, saying three difficult words in a row, indicating that Mu Jingchen's condition was very critical.

"Doctor, try to save it, I don't blame you if my grandfather really dies."

Bai Ning stretched out his little hand that had been ground by the hemp rope and grabbed the corner of the doctor's clothes and shook it gently.

"Then tell me the truth, how he was hurt."

"I was frail since I was a child, so my grandfather would often go up the mountain to collect medicine for me, and this morning I went up the mountain with my grandfather, and an inattentive grandfather slipped down, and then it became what it is now."

Bai Ning lied with a crying voice.

"Nonsense, your grandfather does not have a single external injury on his body, the injury he suffered is an extremely serious internal injury, and what is even more incredible is that I called his pulse, and found that it was completely inconsistent with the beating of ordinary people, such a body is not a human body at all, you still want to bluff me, I will not treat this person."

After hearing this, the old man's eyes widened angrily, and he flicked his sleeves and shook off Bai Ning's little hand and was about to call someone to carry Mu Jingchen out.

"Wait, doctor, I'll tell you the truth, but you promised me that I would do my best to save him when I found out."

Bai Ning put away her crying tone and said to the old man indifferently.

"Okay, I promise you, then you can tell me what the hell is going on."

The old man turned around and looked down into Bai Ning's eyes.

"Actually, he is an immortal who has entered the world, but he is extremely stupid."

……

"Until last night, I didn't listen to his advice and forcibly wanted to quench my body, and today he has become like this after the quenching is over."

Bai Ning told the old man about him and Mu Jingchen.

"Let me see your burns."

After hearing this, the old man preached to Bai Ning, and reached out to take off Bai Ning's cotton jacket.

"Stop, I'll do it myself."

Bai Ning saw the old man reach over, waved the old man's hand to the side, and then took off the padded jacket on his upper body.

As the cotton jacket faded, two red marks were strangled on the left and right shoulders due to the hemp rope, in addition to the original wrinkled skin of the burn has now become a piece of broken and congealed dander, Bai Ning stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the dander fell one after another. Yesterday's new skin was revealed, although it did not return to the skin of a normal person, but the skin at this time was much stronger than the wrinkled rotten skin that had fallen off before.

"A miracle, a miracle. Immortals, entering the WTO, rune paper people, no wonder he couldn't take his pulse just now. ”

The old man was surprised to see Bai Ning's new skin, stroked his beard and said to Bai Ning.

"What, you lied to me, from my mouth to talk, what is the situation of Mu Jingchen? Can it be cured. ”

After putting on his clothes, Bai Ning's eyes widened when he heard this, he was actually deceived.

It turned out that the old man didn't find out anything, just because Mu Jingchen didn't have a pulse but still had amazing breathing, so he made a clichΓ©, but he didn't expect to find out a big secret.

"If it is according to what you say, it can be cured, but the medicine I have here can't cure him, as far as you say, his physique is different, even if he is allowed to take the best old ginseng, the best result may only be to hang his life."

The old man said slowly.

"If you can't cure it, you can't cure it, what kind of thing to say. You tell me the truth, can you give a cure. ”

Bai Ning pursed his lips and was about to enter the inner room to drag Mu Jingchen out.

"It can be cured, the ancestors have a prescription for internal injuries, it is said that as long as the medicine can be reasonably matched, it is also curable by immortals, but it needs elixir as a guide, and I have never obtained the elixir here. But I heard the woodcutter say, in the west of the cliff next to the snake cave someone saw a peculiar tree, the tree every year no more than no less will only bear five fruits, the cave of the big snake does not need to eat, do not need to hibernate, but every two months will go out of the hole to eat a fruit and then will return to the cave, for the effect of this fruit many people are curious, and some people went up to pick but because of this death, after that no one cared, maybe this is the elixir. ”

The old man said slowly.

"Perhaps, what I want is certain."

Bai Ning said viciously to the old man.

"Children, I also heard this news, as for whether it is true, I can't guarantee it, but at least there is hope for it."

The old man smiled, naturally ignoring Bai Ning's fierce tone, stroked his beard, and said unhurriedly.

"Then you have to promise me that after I go to pick the elixir, no matter whether I succeed or fail, before I come back, you will feed the old ginseng soup to Mu Jingchen every day."

Bai Ning gritted her teeth and made this decision.

"Yes, it is worthy of respect to pay for love, not to mention, if you are successful in picking, or I can also get some elixir for life extension, if there is any need before picking the elixir, you can also tell me."

With that, the old man leaned over and pressed the mechanism under the medicine cabinet, and a dark grid was pushed out from the side of the press.

The old man unhurriedly opened the dark compartment slowly, and saw that there were three good mountain ginseng with full roots hidden inside, and the old man took out one of the smaller ones with a heartache, and grabbed the corresponding accessories on the medicine cabinet and wrapped them with a piece of good cloth and put them on the side of the counter, and then squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Ning.

"A new dress, a cloth package, three short daggers with sheaths, and more than five packs of male yellow powder, if there is anything else you need, I will talk to you later, I will buy it today and I will be able to leave tomorrow."

looked at the mountain ginseng placed on the side of the counter with the accessories, and then Bai Ning looked at the old man with wide eyes.

"That's good, let's stay here tonight, you can get these things tomorrow, but you must return within five days, although the medicinal power of mountain ginseng is there, but after all, it is not as good as the elixir."

Hearing Bai Ning's answer, the old man nodded, grabbed the cloth package and walked slowly to the backyard, and began to stew ginseng soup.

Bai Ning found a small wooden stool and sat down and began to ponder.

The next day, the old man put the finished things in front of Bai Ning, and took Bai Ning to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a set of existing new clothes.

Bai Ning changed into new clothes, took the purchased items and thanked the old man, and walked towards the cliff to the west.
