More than a thousand cultivators, what a powerful force! Among them, there were eight people who broke through the Great Success Cultivation, namely Baisha, Xuansha, Xingsha and Chiwangqiu Five Elders. I heard that another Fan Chong was added recently. As for the cultivation of the others, I am afraid that even Liang Yu is not very clear.
Half of these more than a thousand people came from the Bai'e clan. Huwa also understood that the annual pilgrimage to the fairy city is actually Chi Wangqiu selected successors among the Bai'e clan members, but Liang Yu did not say it clearly. There are about 600 monks who have lived in Chi Wangqiu for many years, and the rest of the successors are spread all over Bayuan. They usually practice their own practices and sometimes perform various sect tasks.
Through a few words, Huwa also deeply realized what kind of giant he was facing, even with his current cultivation level, he could not fight alone.
Every day, I trekked hard in the mountains, and the road seemed to never end. Someone asked Liang Yu how long it would take to walk? Liang Yu smiled and replied that since he left the east coast and entered the mountain, the road would take about a month, and about one-third had passed. Calculate the days, and before entering the mountain, the pilgrims from the farthest place had been walking for two months.
The terrain is getting higher and higher and colder. They have already walked from autumn to winter. Huwa's hometown is on the plateau deep in the wilderness. Even if he has no cultivation, he has no discomfort. However, the other people in the team feel different. They have lived in plains since childhood and have never experienced winter on the plateau. Whenever the cold wind whistles, it is difficult to breathe. Many people have begun to experience symptoms such as headaches, chest palpitations, dizziness.
In this case, the road is exhausted and you will be injured if you are not careful, and people will be more likely to get sick. But it is snowing again in the sky. It is heavy snow that cannot be seen in Bayuan. The snow does not melt, and it is even more difficult to move around. At this time, it is most likely to suffer from cold and dampness, such as Jian Bai who is sick.
Jianbai had a fever that day. Not only did he feel a headache, but he also felt dizzy and exhausted. When the carriage overturned the mountain, he also had to help in the snow. Although under the special care of Huwa and Gu Xiang, he changed him to the imperial carriage, the symptoms became more and more serious.
When he arrived at camping, Jian Bai couldn't do the heavy work. But he also struggled to help his companions clean up the tent and help make the fire while cooking dinner. After dinner, Huwa took out many small sticks from his backpack and started to make soup. A scent of medicine gradually floated out of the soup.
The two companions came over curiously and asked, "What are you cooking? Why are they all small branches?"
Huwa replied with a smile: "This is the tender branch of the stamen flower. Pick it in spring, peel it and dry it, and boil it into a soup to remove the symptoms of cold and dampness. Jianbai quickly drink a bowl, otherwise you will not be able to hold on tomorrow; Guxiang, you'd better drink a bowl, at least it can remove cold and dampness."
To participate in the pilgrimage to the Immortal City, there are no other things to prepare except for the clothes to carry on. When Huwa left Cuizhen Village, the two sets of cold-proof clothes made by Miss Ayuan in his backpack. The rest of the place was filled with these branches of stamen-containing flowers, which was also specially asked by Miss Ayuan to bring with him. It played an important role at this moment.
In fact, Huwa is not the only one in the team who carries medicinal materials. At least ten people in the team led by Liang Yu have brought various medicinal materials with them. They started to make soups and medicines every day when it snowed. Most of the effects of the medicine are to remove cold and dampness, and to make people more adapt to the climate on the plateau. It seems that they have prepared for a long time.
Huwa is very clear that injuries not only need to be treated, but more importantly, it depends on rest. Even if the medicinal materials carried by those people have some effect, they still cannot play a big role in such a hard journey every day. The pot of soup and medicine cooked by Huwa is obviously different. It not only contains the medicinal properties of the sac-carved flower branches itself, but also the great magical methods he secretly used.
Huwa just wanted to help Jian Bai, so he couldn't get sick halfway through. In such a dangerous environment, once the symptoms worsen, the consequences might be very serious. But Huwa was not convenient to directly treat Jian Bai. After all, there were monks like Liang Yu in the team to supervise it. So he cooked the sprig-bearing flower branches, but used his great magical power to secretly stimulate its medicinal properties. Only with this method can he do it without any trace.
Jian Bai was extremely grateful when he heard this and came over and said, "Although I feel uncomfortable, you have been tired for a day. Let me do the rough work of making soup and medicine. You and Gu Xiang have a good rest first."
Huwa smiled slightly, but did not refuse, and asked Jianbai to cook the soup. He just secretly cast a spell to give the soup a more refined medicine. After boiling it, Jianbai drank two big bowls, and the heat suddenly evaporated in his body, and he felt slightly sweaty. His body bones immediately became much more relaxed, and his head was no longer dizzy. He quickly got into the animal skin bed to rest. Seeing this, Gu Xiang drank two big bowls and felt much more comfortable.
At this time, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted open, and Liang Yu walked in and said, "Tiger baby from Cuizhen Village, are you taking out the sacred flower branches?... I didn't expect that you knew this medicinal material and could carry it with you. Well, what a pure medicinal property!"
There are five young people in this team called Huwa, so Liang Yu will distinguish them in terms of their names. Huwa quickly stood up and replied, "This is something I learned by chance in the village. I saw someone using this flower branch to treat cold and dampness."
Liang Yu nodded in an approving tone and said, "Hanruihua can be seen occasionally in the mountains and fields, but it is not easy to plant it in pieces, and the time for collection every year is very short, so not many people know the efficacy of the medicine. Even I saw Hanruihua in Chiwangqiu, and I occasionally heard from my elders mention it. You are indeed very symptomatic. I wonder if you still have it on your body?"
Jian Bai and Gu Xiang also got up to salute. Huwa handed his backpack over and said, "I have brought so many more, are you useful?"
Liang Yu waved his hand and didn't answer: "I don't need it, but there are still many people in the team who need it. This is the medicine you bring yourself, so of course you have to keep it for yourself, but someone will find out when he sees Jian Bai's disease being cured, and he will ask you for it. What to do depends on yourself."
Liang Yu left after he finished speaking. His meaning was a bit inexplicable, like a reminder. Jian Bai was the smartest, and immediately reacted and lowered his voice: "Huwa, do we need to keep it a secret? No one would ask for it? Otherwise, there would be many people asking for it. If you don't give it, you will offend people. If you give it, so many people may not be enough. At least half a month will be left, maybe you will use it yourself."
Huwa smiled and said, "No need to keep it secret. Mr. Liang Yu already knows that as long as you are not too stupid, you can more or less guess what you look like when you smell the fragrance of medicine today. You can avoid giving medicinal materials, but we can cook them ourselves and make them the best effect, but we can cook a big pot every day. If you need it, you can share a bowl with him."
Sure enough, when the camping the next day, people came over to find out what medicine they had cooked yesterday, and expressed their desire to ask for it. Before Huwa could speak, Jian Bai said the meaning of Huwa - he would not give me some medicines, but the soups they cooked every day can be distributed to everyone for drink.
Huwa has not done it himself since that day. He asked Jian Bailai to make fire and boil medicine every day. People kept asking for soup medicine, and the effect was really good. Riding the wind and snow on the plateau, even the strongest people would be disturbed by cold and dampness. Huwa and the others could boil the most appropriate medicine, of course everyone wanted to drink it. Even if each person was divided into a small bowl and more than 60 people, that pot of soup medicine was not enough.
Fortunately, Jian Bai solved the problem in time before the dispute arose. He discussed with everyone that he would take care of the people who were already injured and take the rest of the medicine every day. On the next journey, Huwa and the three others won the favor of everyone in the team. They have experienced hardships together and their invisible friendship has become deeper and deeper, and everyone has gradually become friends. Even when Liang Yu occasionally sees Huwa, his eyes will be filled with praise.
Huwa couldn't help but sigh secretly that in Cuizhen Village, the villagers really regarded themselves as one of them. On the way to pilgrimage to the fairy city, most of the people in the team also truly regarded themselves as friends. But they were all members of the Bai'e clan, and some of them would become disciples of Chiwangqiu in the future.
Huwa's enemy is the tall and untouchable Baisha - the leader of the Bai'e clan. However, these Bai'e clan members and ordinary Chi'e clan disciples are not their enemies. However, if he wants to take revenge in the future, it is difficult to avoid things that he does not want to see.
What should I do? Maybe it's too early to think about these things now. Huwa only wants to target the real enemy, but at this moment, the people around him may not even have heard of the Qingshui clan. Huwa will not only take revenge in the future, but also resolve unnecessary conflicts.
Perhaps the effect of the stamen-bearing branches brought by the tiger baby is indeed very good, perhaps Liang Yu protected the team very carefully, or perhaps they were lucky, although more than ten people in the team of more than 60 people were also attacked by injuries, most of them were not too serious, and none of them died.
But the other four teams were not so lucky. The wind and snow in the mountains seemed to be particularly heavy this year. Even if there were leaders of the four-level monks, they could not prevent all accidents. There were people in the other four teams seriously injured or seriously ill, and one of them died. On this day, the snow gradually calmed down, and the road under their feet was getting lower and lower. After reaching a place without snow, Liang Yu finally told everyone good news - rest for another night and you can reach the immortal city tomorrow!
Everyone cheered in unison, which was the joy of the heart, full of gratitude and pride. Most people here have never experienced such a difficult experience in their entire lives. It is hard to believe that they have really survived. This is also a baptism of body and mind and tempering of will. Even a person's temperament has undergone subtle changes without realizing it.
When they were camping, everyone was already asleep, but Jian Bai suddenly sat up quietly in the tent, reached out to wake Gu Xiang and Huwa, and whispered: "Don't hurry to sleep, I have something to say."
Gu Xiang muttered a little dissatisfiedly: "What can't be said tomorrow? Why wake up people in the middle of the night!"
Jianbai: "You can speak softly! Just because I will arrive at the Immortal City tomorrow, I want to tell you that the annual pilgrimage to the Immortal City actually has a deeper meaning."
Gu Xiang rubbed his eyes and sat up and said, "What's the deep meaning? This is your first time here, and I've attended it last year, why don't you know?"
Huwa also stood up and asked, "Jianbai, what do you know?" (To be continued)
