Chapter 107 Illusion
Chapter 107 Illusion
Mo Chenru has been paying attention to the surrounding environment. As he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has been guided by a famous teacher, his internal strength is stronger than that of ordinary people and he can hear things a hundred meters away.
Suddenly, not long after he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he heard the distinct sound of footsteps behind him. He flashed and hid behind a towering tree.
His eyes were full of disdain and contempt. It must be that those people were relying on his money to catch up with him again!
There are two kinds of people that he despised the most in his life. The first kind is those who slander medical skills, and the second kind is those who rely on their wealth to follow him around.
But after seeing the young couple, the disdain in his eyes became even stronger. Did he think that he could convince him by sending these two people? It was ridiculous!
However, he had more important things to do now and must not let them disturb him.
This is why I asked the question just now.
Xue Zhiyu took a breath and was about to go find the land when she heard the man's question. She frowned slightly and met his gaze. She said in a cold tone, "Aren't we all here for the same purpose? What do you mean?"
Mo Chenru looked unhappy, looking back and forth between the two of them, "Just you? I advise you to get down the mountain earlier, this is not a place for fun."
"Oh, you look down on others with your dog eyes. How great can you be if you only judge others based on their appearance? Haven't you heard that there are always people who are better than you and there are always higher things beyond you?"
After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she didn't intend to continue to tangle with this guy, and waved at Jun Xian, signaling him to follow.
If she remembered correctly, she walked along the pavilion, passed a spring, and then walked a little further to see a field of medicinal plants.
Jun Xian was too lazy to even nod and say hello, and simply ignored Mo Chenru who was extremely angry.
Seeing how rude the two men were, Mo Chenru clenched his hands hanging by his side into fists. He was sure that these two men were not the ones who were following him, but he still disliked them.
Everyone who saw him greeted him with a smile. He felt a little embarrassed after being scolded by that rude woman today. He wanted to see what this woman was capable of, so he quickly followed her.
On the way, Xue Zhiyu kept observing her surroundings, but there was no medicinal plant as she remembered.
Jun Xian walked up to her and lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to deal with the guy behind you?"
"No, I'll go our own way and don't bother with him."
Soon, gusts of cool air blew towards me, blowing away the hot air. It was a pool of crystal clear spring water. When I shone my eyes on it, the ripples sparkled like layers of silver light.
Suddenly, Xue Zhiyu squatted down and looked at a plant hidden in the grass. A hint of depth flashed across her eyes. This was also the reason why she left the others behind.
This grows near springs, and the smell it emits can have a hallucinogenic effect. As long as the mist is thick enough, the smell it emits will be stronger.
But even though its smell is very strong, it will not arouse others' suspicion. Although it looks like just an ordinary wild flower, its smell is completely different from its appearance. It is a strange fragrance.
Mo Chenru saw the savage woman bringing it down, wondering what she was looking at, and couldn't help but walk over. After seeing that it was just an ordinary wild flower, he snorted in disdain in his heart.
"Tsk, it's just a wild flower, what's the big deal?"
Xue Zhiyu looked at him strangely. Although this flower was not very common in the world, it had been recorded after all. How come no one here recognized it?
Perhaps it was because Xue Zhiyu's eyes were too naked, Mo Chenru had the illusion that he was being looked down upon. He straightened his back and said, "What kind of look is that? Am I wrong, or are you just not very knowledgeable?"
"A dead duck has a tough mouth."
Xue Zhiyu stood up, patted the wrinkles on her knees, and continued walking forward, calculating in her mind the time it would take for the water mist to appear.
"Hey! What do you mean?!"
Although Mo Chenru was not very clear about the meaning of this sentence, his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing.
"That's what it means literally," Xue Zhiyu rolled her eyes speechlessly. She hated this kind of arrogant and stupid man the most.
Jun Xian glanced at Mo Chenru who was getting angrier and angrier, and inexplicably felt a little sorry for him. No one could get anything good from the princess.
Mo Chenru was choked by this remark and couldn't find any words to refute for a moment. He never said such vulgar words and could only stand there angry.
After passing the spring, the front was still clearly visible, but as soon as they walked in, fog suddenly spread from both sides.
When Xue Zhiyu saw the sudden fog, she calmly threw a pill from her sleeve to Jun Xian and took one herself.
Sure enough, there was a large area of medicinal plants behind the fog. Xiao Qi kindly gave a brief introduction to each medicinal plant and listed the corresponding prescriptions.
Xue Zhiyu's eyes lit up. This was truly a rare medicinal herb, a treasure all over the ground. If it weren't for the mist, they would have been plucked out long ago.
She walked to one of the medicinal plants. According to Xiao Qi, because the color of the outside was the same as stone, it was called Shi Gan Yi. It was a holy medicine for treating internal bleeding. She carefully picked one and threw it into the space.
Mo Chenru also saw the fog suddenly surrounding him and felt a little scared, but when he saw the two people in front of him acting as if nothing had happened, he gritted his teeth and followed them.
He is Qi Yue’s medical saint, how could he be worse than them!
But the further I walked in, the more dizzy I felt, and my whole body was swaying.
"Hey, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Mo Chenru controlled his posture and spoke again: "Hey! I'm asking you a question!"
"Tsk, which fly is buzzing there? How annoying!" Xue Zhiyu said as she threw the silver needle away without blinking.
Mo Chenru narrowed his eyes, caught the silver needle with his bare hands, and said proudly: "How dare you show off your skills like this?"
But not long after he finished speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted to the ground.
Jun Xian walked over and kicked Mo Chenru who had fainted on the ground, "He's really fainted."
If Mo Chenru woke up, he would probably faint again from anger.
The fog was thicker than when she first came in, and there was a faint strange fragrance in the air. After Xue Zhiyu put what she needed into the space, she planned to leave quickly.
When passing by Mo Chenru, he saw that he looked like he was suffering, with his brows tightly furrowed and the original color on his face completely drained away.
Jun Xian saw what Xue Zhiyu was thinking and shrugged indifferently, "The Medical Saint is definitely not short of money. I heard that the Mo family said that anyone who can beat Mo Chenru can get one million taels."
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhiyu raised her eyebrows and looked at the unconscious Mo Chenru. She didn't expect that this kid was so valuable. It was worthwhile to save his life.
Thinking of this, she took out the pills and silver needles from the space.
At this moment, in Mo Chenru's illusion, he looked at the scene in front of him, his arrogant eyes were filled with a fragile expression.
It came again. It took him a long time to get out of this nightmare last time, but this time he felt the despair very realistically.
"Chen Ru, save me, please save me!"
The woman was wearing an elegant white gauze dress and had a pretty face, but at this moment she was crawling towards Mo Chenru step by step in an embarrassed manner. Her slender white fingers were already broken from constantly scratching the ground.
"Xi'er!!!"
Mo Chenru flew over suddenly, but it was too late. Xier finally died under the bandit's knife. Before she died, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were still looking at him with expectation.
Xue Zhiyu pierced several of his major acupuncture points with silver needles, picked up the pills and motioned for Jun Xian to help him sit up. She lifted his chin herself, but heard Mo Chenru's almost inaudible voice, and she subconsciously moved over.
"Xi'er, I'm sorry...I'm useless...Xi'er..."
Xue Zhiyu quickly stuffed the pill into his mouth. Seeing his throat roll, she knew he had swallowed it, so she let go of her hand and said gossipingly, "I didn't expect that a great medical saint would say the three words 'I'm sorry.'"
Jun Xian seemed to dislike Mo Chenru leaning on him, and put him back on the ground without mercy, and said slowly: "Jiang Yunxi is Mo Chenru's fiancée. Later, they quarreled, and Jiang Yunxi ran away from home in anger. In the end, she was kidnapped by bandits, and his fiancée died in front of him, but he was unable to save her in time. This became a source of worry for Mo Chenru, causing him to remain single for the past three years."
"By the way, the Jiang family is also a scholarly family in Qiyue, and is a good match for the Mo family. If the current queen and the emperor were not childhood sweethearts, maybe she would marry into the Jiang family in the end."
Xue Zhiyi listened to such big gossip and almost asked Xiao Qi for the melon through the space, and she just sat quietly on the side and listened.
I didn't expect that Mo Chenru is such a lovesick guy. It's just his mouth that is really unpleasant.
Mo Chenru was still sad in the illusion, when suddenly a ray of light shone from a distance. He blocked it with his hands, and when he opened his eyes again, everything in the illusion had disappeared.
He only saw the wild woman sitting cross-legged next to him, and the man she came with was sitting next to him.
"Oh, you're finally awake. My legs are sore from sitting so long. Jun Xian, let's...help Mr. Mo walk."
Xue Zhiyu originally wanted to ask Jun Xian to follow her, but when she saw Mo Chenru waking up and thought of the one million taels of silver, she quickly changed the subject.
Mo Chenru felt dizzy again, but he stood up and walked a few steps, and nothing happened. He looked at Jun Xian in disbelief, "You saved me?"
Jun Xian shrugged, "It wasn't me who saved you, it was Miss Xue who saved you."
"is her?!"
"Hey! Look at what you said. Why can't it be me? I should have let you faint by yourself, and saved me a pill."
Xue Zhiyu put her hands on her hips and met Mo Chenru's questioning gaze. She almost rolled her eyes to the sky. If it wasn't for one million taels, she wouldn't bother with him.
Mo Chenru was completely silent this time, he lowered his head and no one knew what he was thinking.
But Xue Zhiyu didn't care. Seeing that he was fine, she didn't need Jun Xian's support and walked out the same way she came in without looking back. Fortunately, she had made some marks when she came in.
Mo Chenru lowered his head and picked a few medicinal bamboo plants and threw them into the medicine basket, then followed the two of them, occasionally looking at Xue Zhiyu who was walking in front.
It seems that he is not as barbaric and ignorant as he imagined, and he does have some skills.
After getting out of the fog, Xue Zhiyu saw a group of people lying outside. She rubbed her brows with a headache. It seemed that she couldn't get through unless she rescued the people.
Mo Chenru just happened to walk up and when he saw the unconscious man, he didn't rush to speak. He wanted to take a closer look at how this woman managed to save him from the illusion.
Xue Zhiyu roughly counted the number of people, took out a bottle of pills and a few silver needles from the space, turned to look at Jun Xian and said: "You will be responsible for feeding the medicine later, and I will give the acupuncture."
"it is good."
Jun Xian took the bottle from her hand and started feeding the medicine to the man closest to him. Xue Zhiyu followed closely with acupuncture. The two of them cooperated very well, which made Mo Chenru on the side stunned.
What exactly are the ingredients in the pills in the bottle? And this method of acupuncture is something he has never seen before.
While Mo Chenru was still thinking, he heard Xue Zhiyu's impatient voice.
"Master Mo, please don't just stand there. My pills are not elixirs. If you stay here for too long, they will lose their effectiveness. Come and help me!"
"oh oh....."
Mo Chenru came back to his senses and took out a silver needle from his needle bag. He learned things very quickly and had a photographic memory, so he remembered clearly all the acupuncture points that Xue Zhiyu had pierced.
There were also some people who had been fed pills but had not had time to receive acupuncture, so Mo Chenru also went over to help.
Some people have woken up one after another, and seeing the three people still busy, their eyes are full of admiration and worship.
Mo Yisheng and his men have always been regarded as miracle doctors, but now in front of that woman, they just seemed to be helping her, and they had no complaints at all.
However, this woman's acupuncture skills are really amazing. Not only is every needle in the right place, but it is also fast, accurate and ruthless.
By the time she was done, Xue Zhiyu had already formed a thin layer of sweat, and her hands and feet were shaking a little. She was a little overwhelmed by the repeated movements of squatting and standing up, as well as the acupuncture techniques on her hands.
Seeing this, Mo Chenru took out a box of ointment from his sleeve and handed it over. "Here, this is the ointment I made myself. It can relieve muscle soreness. Apply a layer on it and it will soon be relieved."
After saying this, without being able to anticipate Xue Zhiyu’s reaction, he threw the ointment on the ground and walked towards the spring without looking back, his ears turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xue Zhiyu picked it up. The box was made of white jade stone. The ointment inside did not smell bad. Instead, it had a light floral scent mixed with the aroma of other herbs such as cinnamon twigs.
Although Mo Chenru had already walked to the edge of the spring, he kept an eye on Xue Zhiyu's movements. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was applying the ointment.
Wait! It's none of my business whether she applies the ointment or not. I must be paying attention to her because I'm afraid she'll waste the ointment.
Humph, it must be like this, otherwise he would not pay attention to her. After figuring it out, the awkwardness in Mo Chenru's heart disappeared.
"Miss, are you also studying medicine?"
An older man couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I just happened to be interested in this. Fortunately, I had the guidance of an expert, so I learned a little bit."
