Chapter 49: After the Disaster
In the mountain forest outside Shenjing City, Shen Ning carried his son Fu Lingyue back to the cave.
Zi Fu Lingyue was seriously injured. Even though she used spiritual energy to seal the wound and stop it, the internal organs in her body suffered a big impact from the battle with Nais and a group of evil cultivators, and she lay weakly. In Shen Ning's arms.
"Put me down first." Because of excessive blood loss, Zi Fulingyue felt a little dizzy.
Shen Ning placed her on a stone slab and frowned slightly, "You are seriously injured. You should receive treatment from Qingyi Division as soon as possible. No matter what happens, you should recover from the injury."
Zi Fu Lingyue leaned against the stone wall and shook her head, "The current Tsing Yi Division cannot go back. I suspect that there are members of the Evil God Cult in the Tsing Yi Division or the Tianshi Mansion, and they are very likely to belong to the force that assassinated you before."
"Why do you say that?"
"I have checked the body of the Arhat possessed by Nais. There is no aura of the evil god on it. He died from a magic weapon that pierced the heart." Zi Fulingyue's breath fluctuated, "So the members of the Evil God Sect can escape. Getting out of the Jokhang Temple prison should not rely on one's own ability, but on someone releasing them. This person must be a practitioner from the Qingyi Division or the Tianshi Mansion, because only the people from the imperial court were guarding the Arhats when they approached the Jokhang Temple Prison. You won’t be wary."
Shen Ning looked thoughtful. He was a smart man and he immediately figured out the meaning of Zi Fulingyue's words.
Ying Qin had warned Shen Ning before he left Shenjing City that after he left Shenjing City, the forces in the dark would most likely attack them.
Now that Zi Fulingyue is seriously injured, and she has judged that there is a possibility of a traitor in Tianshi Mansion and Qingyi Division, going back now is undoubtedly a God-given opportunity for the forces in the dark.
Shen Ning looked at Zi Fu Lingyue's pale face and couldn't help but worry a little: "What about your injury? I didn't prepare any pills when I came out."
"There are many healing elixirs in this mountain forest...cough cough..." Zi Fulingyue coughed up blood from the corner of her mouth as she spoke, and her breathing became a little faster, "Can you step on it a few times for me?" Plants of blood-coagulating grass, flowers of the five internal organs... and mutton-fat jade are boiled into a decoction, and I will be able to recover in a short time."
After inquiring in detail about the appearance and growth environment of these herbs, Shen Ning placed a barrier at the entrance of the cave to prevent wild beasts from entering by mistake, and then began to search for the elixir.
Disciples of the Tianshi Mansion often get injured when they go out to deal with monsters, so most of them are involved in herbal medicines, and Shen Ning is certainly no exception. However, the herbs Zi Fulingyue described are relatively rare and cost a lot. With the help of nine oxen and two tigers, Shen Ning found everything and hunted a wild boar for the two of them today.
After cleaning the wild boar by the spring outside, Shen Ning kept the wild boar skin. The skin was very old and had very good toughness and tensile strength. It could be temporarily used as an earthen pot for brewing elixirs.
Back in the cave, Shen Ning lit a fire and began to make medicinal soup for Zi Fulingyue, who lay down by the stone wall and closed his eyes to rest.
I don’t know when the relationship between the two people slowly changed from the previous confrontation to the current mode of getting along, like good friends who have known each other for many years and like...an old husband and wife?
Perhaps it started when she ate her roasted venison. A smile appeared on Shen Ning's face unconsciously.
Putting aside these miscellaneous things, Shen Ning wrapped the decoction in wild boar skin and handed it to Zi Fulingyue when the temperature was almost cold.
Looking at the elixir wrapped in pig skin, Zi Fulingyue looked strange.
"Conditions are limited, it'll be good if you can survive." Shen Ning coughed awkwardly, "How about you see if the Qingyi Division has any magic weapon that can hold items, and get one for me. If this happens again next time, I won't use wild boar skin to make medicine for you."
"Let's talk about it later." Zi Fu Lingyue hesitated. After taking a few sips of the elixir, she felt a warm current begin to flow in her lower abdomen. She immediately used her spirit energy to nurse the injury.
Shen Ning shrugged and grilled wild boar meat indifferently. This time he not only picked wild vegetables to remove the oil, but also found some herbs that could be used as seasonings, such as star anise, cloves, osmanthus, Sichuan peppercorns, and angelica. Entering the belly of the wild boar, the rich meaty aroma mixed with the refreshing aroma of medicinal herbs makes your lips and mouth salivate.
The firelight shone on Shen Ning's face, and for some reason, a new idea appeared in his mind. If possible, he would rather find a peaceful village and live a peaceful life, instead of fighting endlessly with evil demons and heretics every day.
Of course, Shen Ning just thought about this idea. He had his own path. The reason for this idea was probably because he was tired of the long battle.
Even if you really want to live in seclusion, you have to wait until the world is peaceful.
After eating the roasted wild boar, Shen Ning stretched comfortably and walked outside the cave entrance, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers, enjoying the rare leisure.
At that time, the sun was setting in the west, and the pale red afterglow covered the world with a thin veil. The birds were chirping in the mountain forest, which made people not feel noisy. On the contrary, it was accompanied by the tinkling of the spring water flowing through the stream. During this time, the breeze rustled the leaves and accompanied them. This was a very beautiful music, a natural gift from heaven and earth to them.
Zi Fu Lingyue walked out of the cave and stood next to Shen Ning. Her pale complexion was rosy. The two of them had a tacit understanding without saying a word. There were too many things that happened during this period. In the beautiful world, In such an environment, you can calm down all kinds of negative emotions in your heart.
In the next few days, Shen Ning did not rush back to Shenjing City, but waited until Zi Fulingyue had almost recovered before leaving the forest.
Walking on the streets of Shenjing City that had been destroyed by evil spirits, Shen Ning saw the ruins of ruins and the people who were rebuilding their homes among the ruins. Their faces were more or less sad, but more of them were Hope for life.
The people of Dajin are strong. In this chaotic world, they have experienced painful blows again and again, but they can always stand up in the face of pain and despair.
Unyieldingness and tenacity are things deeply rooted in the bones of this nation that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Shen Ning loves the Jin Dynasty, but he is not loyal to this dynasty, but to these nations who have risen up to resist again and again in adversity, declaring their unwillingness and anger.
For the sake of the people, he is willing to be the lamp bearer in the darkness.
For the country, for the nation, and for all living things in the world, we must open up a path for reproduction and survival.
