Chapter 55

Ning Yao hadn't been as nervous as she was today for a long time. She kept holding her breath in her chest and didn't dare to take a breath. Both her walking steps and breathing sounds were kept very low, and she also kept her breath at the same time.

He stopped and walked step by step into the deep forest, and then arrived outside a low mountain stream.

The mountain stream was obviously very warm and humid. There was a faint sound of water drops falling on the rocks. The sound was clear and cold. It echoed in the mountain stream several times before gradually dissipating. Ning Yao looked around again.

After some research, I discovered that this mountain stream is on the sunny side and can receive sunlight all year round, which is very consistent with the environment in which red fruit and green leaves grow as described in ancient books.

Seeing this, Ning Yao looked around again vigilantly, but did not find the red and green snake, so she glanced into the mountain stream, and sure enough, she saw a red fruit with a fruit as small and round as red agate, with a jade-like luster.

, the leaves are as clear and green as emerald herbs.

I think this is the red fruit bileaf grass.

Ning Yao didn't see the Red and Green Snake, and felt a mixture of joy and sorrow in his heart. He planned to dig up the Red Fruit and Green Leaf Grass when the Red and Green Snake came back, but for a while he was troubled because there was no suitable bottle to hold the herbal medicine.

It would be a pity to accidentally destroy such magical and precious medicinal materials as red fruit and blue leaf grass. It was best to take the live plants away. This was her first time seeing it and she had no experience in handling it. It would be a pity if she accidentally destroyed it. Just in Ningyao

When she was in dilemma, she noticed the cold air above her head.

She raised her head warily and saw a snake coiled on a branch, looking at her with its head tilted up. It was vomiting impatiently. It was obviously very dissatisfied with Ning Yao who had intruded into his territory. The snake had legs and arms.

The scales are thick, half red and half black, slightly transparent, it is a red and green snake.

Ning Yao immediately looked at its length carefully, and conservatively estimated that it was more than three feet long. This kind of snake is highly venomous. Judging from the scales she found along the way, if you were accidentally touched by it, you would definitely die.

Faced with such a difficult challenge, Ning Yao suddenly became excited and was about to show off her skills to subdue the red and green snake. However, she didn't know whether it was because she had the scales of the red and green snake on her body or because of something else, the red and green snake reached out.

Most of his body was used to explore the scent of Ning Yao for a long time, but in the end he turned his head away affectionately and coiled his body back into the tree.

Ning Yao was confused when he saw that the red and green snake was no longer hostile to him. He was stunned for a moment, and then decided to leave it alone since it was no threat. He looked around hurriedly, trying to find someone who could hold the red fruit and blue leaf grass.

Finally, looking at the trunk of a tree that had been knocked down by lightning, I suddenly had an idea.

She could have cut a section of the tree to a suitable length, dug out the center to make a container, and then used it to hold the uprooted red apples. For now, this was the only option.

It worked. So, just as he was told, Ning Yao cut off a piece of wood with his sword, and used a dagger to take out the core of the wood inside, making a container of about the same size, and then prepared to dig up the herb.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yao just turned around, but within a moment, the red and green snake crawled into the container and coiled its body into a ball. However, the container was too small to hold it, leaving half of its body exposed.

He walked outside. He looked at the small wooden basin, and then at his exposed body. He seemed to be very depressed, with his head hanging down and staring blankly at Ning Yao.

That look was quite a bit aggrieved and pitiful.

"..." Seeing this, Ning Yao had a headache. He thought that this snake might be humane, so he tried it and talked to the red and green snake, "I don't know if you can understand me.

, now I need this herb to save people's lives, if you can understand, help me pull it out intact."

After saying that, Ning Yao looked at the red and green snake and was still unmoved. She chuckled and said that she was really overthinking. She planned to make a new container, but she didn't expect that just when she raised her sword to chop off another piece of wood.

At that time, the red and green snake wrapped its tail around the container and entered the mountain stream.

When it came to the Red Fruit and Blue Leaf Grass, the Red and Green Snake let go of the container, then wrapped its tail around the Red Fruit and Blue Leaf Grass, uprooted it and placed it gently on the ground outside the mountain stream.

Ning Yao saw that after being pulled up, a small fruit fell on the ground. It disappeared into the soil in an instant. Then he quickly looked at the red nut plant and saw that there was nothing else about the herb.

It was damaged, so he walked over, tentatively picked it up, and then said "Thank you" to the red and green snake.

After doing all this, the snake no longer paid attention to Ning Yao, and coiled itself around the place where the red fruit green leaf grass grew before, motionless, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep, and the color of its scales also faded.

many.

Ning Yao knew that he couldn't waste any more time, so he turned around and walked back the way he came. He saw the restless Hegong Gama beaming immediately after seeing her safe return. He couldn't help frowning, but still had a stunned face.

The mangosteen in his hand was handed over.

"I got the thing, but do you still remember how to use it?"

"There is one fruit for every two leaves of red fruit and one branch for every two fruits. Just a small branch, held in the mouth, can cure any poison in the world." As he said this, Hegong Gama looked at Ning Yao unscathed.

, and then asked, "It's just that the book records that the red and green snake is highly poisonous. How did you avoid it and get the herbs?"

"There is no other, it's just a matter of cleverness."

For some reason, Ning Yao always vaguely felt that the red and green snake was humane, and she didn't know why the red and green snake was initially hostile to her, and then relaxed its vigilance towards herself. Maybe it would not treat others as well.

She would be so merciful. So when Fang came out all the way, she eliminated the traces left by the red and green snake one by one.

After listening to Hegong Karma's words, Ning Yao raised her hand and pinched off a branch and handed it to He Gong Karma. Not long after, her pale face turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye. He Gong Karma suddenly

I feel a lot better, and even the injured area on my leg that had been tingling from time to time no longer hurts.

Hegong Karma felt a little miraculous for a moment, then he untied the cloth tied around his leg and looked at it. He found that the originally hideous wound suddenly healed. After a while, there was no scar at all on his leg.

No traces can be seen.

Hegong Karma was in love with beauty at this time. She originally thought that even if she had a scar, it would be on her legs and no one would see it. If she had a scar, she would just leave it. But it was impossible for her not to care. Now.

There was no scar on her leg, and she couldn't help but laugh excitedly. She looked at Ning Yao, and then she just smiled without saying a word.

Ning Yao looked at the remaining red fruit and bileaf grass and didn't know what to do with it for a moment. He was hesitating whether to keep it for himself or give it to the royal family of Xizhou, when Hegong Gama spoke.

"My sister got this by her own merit. Whether it is according to the rules of Xizhou or according to reason, it belongs to her. Now that she has saved my life, I will definitely repay her in the future."

"You were injured while saving our prince, so it's my duty to save you." As he said that, Ning Yao pinched another branch and put it into another porcelain vase, then handed the rest over.

He gave it to Hegong Karma and said, "Since this medicine is a rare treasure in the world, if it spreads, I am afraid it will cause war, and the peace of your Xizhou will be destroyed."

"You are the crown prince of Xizhou and the future emperor of Xizhou. In order to ensure the stability of Xizhou, you must not mention this herb today to anyone else. I keep this one because I need to use it.

You can rest assured that if you save a person's life, the whereabouts will never be revealed."

"I believe Sister General, but that brother went to find reinforcements. How can we cover up the lie?"

"This will wrong you."

"What's the explanation?"

"You were scratched by a wolf. I will carve out a wolf scratch and use it to give you another wound. As long as you handle it carefully, there will be no scars." Ning Yao knew that this was too much.

He forced her to do something difficult, knowing that she might not agree, so he continued, "If you don't want to, you can find another way."

"No need!" Hegong Karma said anxiously, "As long as I don't turn into that monster that is neither human nor animal in the future, such a minor injury is nothing to worry about."

"So, I have wronged you." After saying that, Ning Yao took off the wooden block from his waist, recalling the appearance of the wound on Hegong Gama's leg in his mind, and finally carved out a wolf claw.

The carved wolf claws are not much different from those of a real wolf, except that they don’t have the fur of the wolf and are just pieces of wood.

Ning Yao held the wolf's paw in his hand, glanced at Hegong Gama one last time, and saw that she frowned and nodded, so he used his strength to scratch her leg at a position similar to the original wound.

As he went down, the hideous wound appeared again on Hegong Karma's leg, which was not much different from the original wound.

Furthermore, only Ning Yao knew the location and appearance of the wound. In fact, there was no need to go to such an extent in the first place, but if you wanted to hide it from the imperial doctor of Xizhou, you had to do this.

The pain is really unbearable. In addition, He Gongkarma is still young and was raised as a prince since childhood. Although she has a heavy workload on weekdays, after all, she is a girl who has grown up with thousands of favors and parents.

He was loved by his elder brother and had never been injured since he was a child. Now he suffered two equally serious injuries in one day. The pain was so painful that he lost all color and could only break out in cold sweat.

Looking at her appearance, Ning Yao couldn't help but move her hands lightly, and then took the gelatin ointment she had prepared just in case and applied it to her wound. The gelatin ointment was cool to the touch, analgesic and anti-inflammatory. It not only detoxified, but also

It has the effect of stopping bleeding and accelerating wound healing. The most important thing is that it does not leave scars on the wound. It is very useful.

This medicine was originally developed by Cai Xiaoyun to remove scars and sold specifically to girls. Later, she slowly improved the formula and gave it many more functions. She also replaced some expensive medicinal materials with cheaper ones that have the same effect.

However, the selling price not only remained unchanged but also increased. The profit was so high that it made Cai Xiaoyun smile from ear to ear and left Ning Yao speechless.

So, Ning Yao later decided to get it directly from Cai Xiaoyun for free, and it became her most commonly used medicine. After all... every time she took it without paying, Cai Xiaoyun was so angry that she stamped her feet. It felt really good, and

It has complete functions. You only need to bring one medicine every time you go out, which is very convenient.

There are a lot of wolves in Xizhou. Logically speaking, after being bitten or scratched by a wolf, you should die from exhaustion, as Ning Yao said. Why have you never heard of a similar situation in Xizhou? He Gong

Although Karma believed that Ning Yao did not make up those shocking words to deceive herself, after all, if it was just Ning Yao's nonsense, why would she go to such an extent and risk her own life to find the red fruit green leaf grass?

There has always been a legend in Xizhou that Kunlun Mountain is the passage connecting the divine world and the human world. Gods live on the top of Kunlun. Therefore, Xizhou is the holiest place in the world. If one day, this land is polluted,

The gods will send down floods to cleanse the land.

Thinking of this, Hegong Karma made a bold guess. A thought was born and hard to destroy. If things were really as she thought, then everything would be terrible.

"Sister General, have you ever thought about a question?" While riding back with Ning Yao, Hegong Gama thought for a long time, and finally decided to share her suspicions with Ning Yao, "Almost every day in Xizhou

There are people who have been bitten or scratched by wolves, but why have I never heard of anyone turning into a monster that is neither human nor beast like what my sister said?"

"There is a legend in Xizhou that if this land is polluted, the gods will send down floods to cleanse the land." Before Ning Yao could answer, she spoke again, "Those people have either become monsters.

, the family concealed it and refused to report it, or they were killed by others."

Speaking of this, Hegong Karma couldn't help but feel that his heart was beating a little faster. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"If that's the case, what should you do?"

"I don't know. After all, this matter is related to the national destiny of Xizhou. I may not do better than my father." He Gongkarma laughed at himself, "But... there is obviously a way to save them, but they still call me

I can't help but watch death."

"Whether one person's faith and destiny is more important than the faith and destiny of millions of people is an eternal problem. Your father made the choice he should make. One day, you will have to make the same choice.

Your own choice."

Ning Yao sometimes faces such a choice. Whenever she encounters it, she always seems to be able to make a decision quickly, but in fact, she has also done some thinking and weighing. Since ancient times, death has been lighter than a feather.

There are also those who are more important than Mount Tai. How to choose is not her decision to make, but to ask the other party to choose.
