The Wutai School is located on the top of Beitai, also known as Ye Doufeng, which is the highest peak of Mount Wutai.
"The reason why Beitaidong is called Ye Doufeng is because its peak is connected with the handle of the Big Dipper." Ling'er met a young Wutai disciple on the way. Ling'er led the way while introducing Ling'er eloquently.
On the way, Linger gained a deeper understanding of Beitaiding.
At noon, Linger arrived at the top of Beitai and met his friend Mu Qingping. Mu Qingping is the daughter of Mu Zhixuan, a lay disciple of the Wutai sect.
"They have already left" Ling'er was shocked.
"Yes, my master, Master Wuchen, and several senior brothers came down the mountain early this morning." Mu Qingping said.
Ling'er counted her fingers in frustration. Today happened to be the day they agreed to set off, so she could only blame her for being late.
"Ling'er, you have never been to Mount Wutai. Let me take you to visit these days. Don't you particularly like spring water? We have a white pool in the southeast of Beitai Mountain and a Jinsha Spring in the south. Seven miles behind There is also the legendary Nine Girls Spring where nine fairies wash their hands," Mu Qingping said enthusiastically.
Ling'er looked at her friend and shook her head, and said gloomily, "Sister Ping, I really want to go to Luoyang."
Mu Qingping took her hand and persuaded her, "Ling'er Son, they have been away for a while. Even if you catch up now, you may not be able to catch up."
"Yes, I didn't expect that I might be able to catch up with them if I started Qinggong all the way down the mountain. "After Ling'er finished speaking, he was about to set off.
"Ling'er, why don't you leave after lunch," Mu Qingping said.
"No need, I brought dry food." With that, Ling'er said goodbye to his friend.
"What should I do?" Halfway up the mountain, Ling'er looked at the three roads going down the mountain in confusion. She remembered that one of them was the road she had just taken up the mountain, while the other two were one going west and one going south.
"Luoyang is in the south, so we must take this south-facing mountain road." Ling'er made a choice in a hurry.
After running all the way, Ling'er stopped in an open space to rest for a while. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and inadvertently discovered that there was a gate on the side of the open space. The wooden sign on the door read " Author of "Nine Girls' Spring".
After passing Jiunvquan, the mountain road suddenly became steeper, and Ling'er had to slow down. Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, there are quite a lot of people coming and going, which is very different from the previous mountain road with few people.
"These should be the people living at the foot of the mountain. They move in a hurry and look panicked, but they don't look like good men and women who want to go up the mountain to worship gods." Linger thought to himself. She also noticed that many of them were holding water jars and some were carrying gourds. Curious, Ling'er had no time to waste. She left the hurried crowd with ease.
"What is this place?" Ling'er finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. There was no expected avenue in front of him, not even a flat path. She looked at the bumpy path that could barely be called a road, and gradually realized the cruel fact that she was going the wrong way.
"It is impossible to catch up with the Wutai Sect. Now I have to rely on myself to go to Luoyang." Ling'er patted his bag and encouraged himself, "I will definitely be able to do it."
Looking ahead Looking around, there are small villages all along the way. In this rural place, there were no martial arts figures, and Ling'er's feeling of disappointment increased.
But soon, this loss dissipated, and Ling'er was intoxicated in this simple country style.
Ling'er shuttled through unknown villages, smelling the villagers' cooking fires, basking in the early summer sunshine, watching the dogs sleeping lazily in front of the farmhouse, and several village women sitting at the entrance of the village. Chatting while working as a female celebrity.
Walking through one village after another, although it was not the martial arts world that Linger longed for, it was the nature that she loved.
Outside the village are farmland crisscrossed by streets. White clouds covered with gold float in the sky, old farmers are working in the fields with sweat, and bright yellow flowers are scattered all over the loofah ground. The farmland at dusk and the distant smoke give travelers a sense of peace and tranquility.
Ling'er grabbed the luggage on her shoulders and looked at the scenery in front of her, feeling reluctant to leave.
After sunset, the villages changed into gray tones.
Relying on the guidance of the lights in the farmhouse, Linger found the next village where he would stay.
Different from the villages we passed through before, this village was extremely noisy and chaotic. Although it was getting dark, the villagers were running around in a panic, and the cries of children kept coming and going, which was irritating. Dry vegetable leaves and rotten melon and fruit peels were scattered messily on the ground. The pile of firewood next to the house no longer existed. Everything seemed disorganized, as if something major had happened.
Ling'er wanted to find a villager to inquire, but how could the anxious people stop their hurried pace? Ling'er had no choice but to walk into the village with his sword in hand to investigate.
A teenage boy was sitting on a big rock by the roadside, staring blankly at the village.
Ling'er hurriedly stepped forward to ask him. From the young man's words, Ling'er learned that this was Liujia Village.
“It wasn’t like this before.” The boy said, “More than a month ago, someone in the village got sick, and then more and more people got sick. My dad said it was a plague.”
"Plague" Ling'er was startled and asked quickly, "Have you asked a doctor to come and see it?"
"Doctors from far and near heard that it was a plague, and it was too late to hide," the young man said sadly.
"To tell you the truth, my sister is a doctor. Can you take me to have a look?" Ling'er said.
"Really?" The young man hurriedly took Ling'er to his relatives' house.
"How many people are sick in the village?" Ling'er asked as he walked.
The young man replied, "As long as a few families are fine, my parents and I will be fine."
"I'm afraid this is not a plague." Linger thought to himself.
When I walked into a farmhouse, I saw three members of the family lying on the bed in the dim light, dying.
"Uncle, aunt, the doctor is here"It's gone," the young man shouted excitedly.
As soon as Ling'er saw the patient's face, he knew it was not the plague, they were poisoned.
After careful diagnosis, Ling'er Ling'er knew that what they were dealing with was a poison called "Yushengcao".
This small poison was not a problem for Ling'er at all. She quickly wrote out the prescription and gave it to the young man. /p>
"It's strange that the poison hasn't invaded your body after being poisoned for a long time," Ling'er said to the young man's uncle.
The middle-aged man replied weakly, "Girl, yes." Unknown to us, since we fell ill, we have been drinking water from Jiu Nu Spring on Mount Wutai, so our condition has not worsened. "
"Nine Girls Spring" Ling'er remembered that medical books did record several types of Chuyan spring water. Because the spring source is far away and cold, and the mountain where it is located has precious medicinal materials, it can maintain health and cure diseases. If you drink it, It can inhibit the spread of toxins in the body. Many places in Wutai Mountain are rich in strange medicinal materials, and it is not surprising that the spring water in the mountain has such a miraculous effect.
"Yes, thanks to the spring water, the conditions of most of our villagers have been controlled. "An old man in his 60s came in and said to Ling'er, "I am the village leader of Liujia Village. I heard that the girl is willing to treat everyone's illnesses, so I came here to express my gratitude. ”
“It is the responsibility of doctors to save lives and heal the wounded, and Muramasa does not need to say thank you. "Ling'er said.
Under the leadership of Muramasa, Ling'er went door to door to diagnose and treat the villagers. As she expected, they were all poisoned by the same kind of poison.
“All the villagers, young and old, have been poisoned, or none of them have been poisoned. The little girl thinks that the poison should come from the diet. "Ling'er analyzed and said
"The old man then asked everyone to pay more attention to the three meals a day. Muramasa said, "Thanks to Dr. Gan this time." "
"No, it's all thanks to Jiu Nu Spring. If it weren't for the magical effect of the spring water, the toxins invaded the internal organs, even if Hua Tuo was alive, he would not be able to save it. By the way, Muramasa, how did everyone know that Jiu Nu Spring water can inhibit the spread of poison?" Ling'er asked.
"It seems to be a coincidence. When someone first fell ill in the village, there was a young man. A woman passed by this village. It was she who told us about the efficacy of the spring water, so we went up the mountain to get the spring water. "Muramasa said.
"What a coincidence." Ling'er suddenly remembered the scene he saw when he went down Mount Wutai yesterday. People hurriedly went up and down the mountain to get water. "If you had stopped to inquire at that time, you could let me know. Patients suffer less temporary pain. "The more Ling'er thought about it, the more she regretted it.
After treating the villagers all night long, Ling'er felt exhausted. But she was still very happy to see that the villagers' illnesses were gradually relieved.
When Ling'er finished her lunch and was about to take a rest, the boy from yesterday came to call her in a hurry.
"Sister, someone else has been poisoned with the same symptoms. "The young man said anxiously.
"Take me to have a look quickly. "Ling'er said hurriedly.
Ling'er understood that detoxification is important, but more important is to find the source of the toxin.
"We were having a meal when suddenly we felt tightness in the chest and shortness of breath. rush, then feelAbdominal pain is excruciating. "An aunt who just got sick said painfully.
Ling'er carefully checked the food they ate and found that the source of the toxin was a fish.
"This fish is a clumsy fish. My husband went to Qingshui River to fish early in the morning. "The aunt said weakly.
Without further delay, Linger immediately led the young man down to Qingshui River.
