Chapter 5 Horses and Beasts
Mingyuan City is the third largest city in Fengguo.
This city is located on a plain, covering an area of 100 miles. A large river in the south of the city is winding, and the transportation between water and land is extremely convenient, which also contributes to the prosperity of this city.
At this time, the crowds entering the city at the gate lined up in a long line with a noisy sound.
Liu Le'er pulled the tall young man and mixed in the crowd, feeling a little uneasy, and looked at the city gate several feet high from time to time.
An octagonal bronze mirror hung there, facing the city gate.
At this time, the day was three o'clock, and a gossip pattern carved on the bronze mirror shone in the sun, emitting a dignified aura.
When entering the city, you only need to pay some money to the guards. The inspection did not seem to be strict, and it was soon Liu Le'er and the young man's turn.
The two of them came to the city gate, facing the Bagua bronze mirror on the city gate, and an inexplicable force enveloped the two.
Liu Le'er's body looked a little stiff and she lowered her head.
The tall young man looked straight at the Bagua bronze mirror, his eyes dull, but no one noticed that a ray of blue light flashed deep in his pupils, but there was no strange thing on the bronze mirror.
"Where are you people? What do you do when you enter the city?" A middle-aged man's city gate guard looked at the two of them and asked lazily.
"A few elder brothers, our brother and sister are from Liujia Town, three hundred miles northwest of the city. My name is Liu Le'er. This is my brother Liu Shi. He came to the city to marry him and treat his brother by the way." Liu Le'er's face was full of smiles and said quickly.
Although she and the tall young man depended on each other over the years, they still had to contact outsiders. For convenience, they gave this "Stone Brother" the name Liu Shi.
As he spoke, Liu Le'er quickly took out some copper coins and handed them to the guard, which was slightly more than the cost of entering the city.
Seeing this, the middle-aged guard showed a hint of satisfaction on his face, and stuffed the extra copper coins into his bag quietly. He looked at Liu Shi, a tall young man who was a little dull, and waved without asking any more questions:
"Look at it, you brothers and sisters can't be bad guys, go in."
Liu Le'er agreed and pulled Liu Shi to the city quickly. She walked a long distance away. She was far away from the city gate, and then she slowed down in an unmanned corner and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, there is also the qi-induced talisman that my father gave me back then, which can cover my demonic energy and was not discovered by the demonic mirror."
Liu Le'er looked at no one noticed her, muttered a few words in a low voice before taking out a green jade talisman from her arms.
The jade talisman is two inches long and two fingers wide. It is engraved with green patterns, forming a complex magic array, with soft green light flowing on it, like flowing water.
She looked at the thing in her hand, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and carefully hid the jade talisman again.
After turning two alleys, the two came to the main street of Mingyuan City.
I saw that the street was wide, allowing three carriages to drive side by side. The street was lined with tall and spacious shops, lined up, connecting to the end of the view.
However, there are not many bricks and tiles used here, and most of them are built with wood. Although the houses are not very tall, there are rarely high buildings over ten feet tall, but they are more delicate and novel.
Liu Le'er came to a big city like Mingyuan City for the first time. The bustling crowd around her made her a little scared, and her body was close to Liu Shi.
However, although there were people around her, they did their own things and no one came to interfere with the two, which gradually relaxed and began to be attracted by the various new things in the city. She pulled Liu Shi to wander around the streets with great enthusiasm.
"Brother Shitou, look over there! I have heard of that thing, it looks delicious." Liu Le'er stared at a hawker selling candied haws not far away.
Liu Shi's dark eyes reflected the lively scenes around him, with a blank expression on his face, looking completely indifferent to these things.
Liu Le'er was about to pull Liu Shi over, but suddenly saw the young man like this, and felt a little disappointed. He immediately remembered the purpose of his trip to the city. He hurriedly held the young man's palm tightly and said seriously.
"Brother Shitou, don't worry, this city is so big, there must be a doctor who can cure you."
When Liu Shi heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
Liu Le'er pulled Liu Shi to eat some food at the street food stall, asked someone to ask, and soon asked about the locations of two nearby clinics.
West of the city, Li's Medical Center.
Li's Medical Center has been practicing medicine here for a hundred years and can be regarded as a time-honored brand.
A middle-aged man wearing a long blue cloth gown sat upright on a wooden chair, pressing his three fingers on Liu Shi's wrist, concentrating on checking his pulse, and Liu Le'er stood aside nervously.
The middle-aged man is named Li Changqing, who is the contemporary descendant of Li's clinic. He is a famous Xinglin master in a generation nearby. He has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years.
After taking the pulse for a while, Li Changqing took back his palm.
"Make my brother's six meridians calm and powerful, full of qi and blood, and his body is obviously very good. How could he suffer from aphrodisiac? When did his disease appear? Is there any external cause?" Li Changqing frowned and looked at Liu Le'er and asked.
"My brother and I haven't seen each other for many years, and we don't know anything about the cause of his illness." Liu Le'er shook her head and said.
"That will be difficult. If you don't know the cause of the disease, you will not be able to cure it. Please forgive me for being superficial and weak in the medical treatment." Li Changqing stroked his long beard and said apologetically.
"Is it really clueless?" Liu Le'er said anxiously.
"I am really powerless." Li Changqing shook his head and said.
Liu Le'er was disappointed, bowed to Li Changqing and took Liu Shi out of the clinic.
"There are many clinics in Mingyuan City. We will definitely cure you after looking at them."
The girl was depressed for a while, and soon said to Liu Shi like anger.
Liu Shi grinned, wondering if he understood Liu Le'er's words.
The two walked in one direction, crossed two blocks, and came to the door of another clinic.
The clinic has a gray exterior wall, black tiles and a wide door, which exudes a luxurious atmosphere. It is much more grand than the Li clinic, and there are many people coming to seek medical treatment.
"This clinic is so big, the doctor's medical skills should be more skilled." Liu Le'er pulled Liu Shi in with anticipation.
Half an hour later, the two walked out of it, and the girl still looked disappointed.
"No hurry, there are other clinics." Liu Le'er quickly cheered up.
For the next half day, the two walked around the streets and almost walked through most of the clinics in Mingyuan City, but the doctors were helpless about Liu Shi's symptoms.
...
North of the city, Yejuzhai.
Two figures slowly walked out from inside, and it was Liu Le'er and Liu Shi.
Liu Le'er looked disappointed and lowered her head and played with the corner of her clothes.
Although Ye Juzhai is not the largest clinic in Mingyuan City, it is said that the doctors here have a lot of insights into some difficult and complicated diseases, but unfortunately they have not seen the cause of Liu Shi.
"Little girl stay." At this moment, a voice came from behind, and a gray-haired old man in green robe quickly chased after him from behind.
"Doctor Liu." Liu Le'er was slightly surprised and stopped.
This old man in green robe was the one who had just taken Liu Shi's pulse and was a doctor in Ye Juzhai.
"Did you think of your brother's condition?" Liu Le'er suddenly felt a little hope in her heart and asked hurriedly.
"That's right, after treating Brother Ling, I went to the back hall to read some medical documents and accidentally saw a case, which was quite similar to Brother Ling's situation." The old man in green robe nodded.
"Doctor, please speak." Liu Le'er was overjoyed when she heard this.
"According to the book, the symptoms of my brother are very different from those of ordinary abscess. The direction is to be cursed, or someone is restricted, and the soul is injured. Such injuries are not something that ordinary doctors can treat. Only when they find immortal masters who are good at this path can they be cured. As for things that cannot be spoken, it is a trivial matter, which makes my brother speak without any hindrance. As long as the soul returns to normal, they will naturally speak." The old man in the green robe continued.
After hearing this, Liu Le'er was silent and after a while, she forced out some cute smiles:
"Thank you, Dr. Liu for your advice."
"You little girl, you're polite. It's our doctor's duty to treat diseases and save people." The old man in green robe shook his head and returned to the house on his own.
Liu Le'er took the young man out of Yejuzhai and became depressed.
"Oh, Brother Shi Tou's situation is indeed hurt by someone's soul." The girl murmured to herself.
She is a fox demon. Although she is young, she also has some understanding of cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism. Over the years, she has long guessed that she might have been hurt by someone's soul.
If you want to heal, you must seek help from a cultivator who is proficient in the way of the soul.
However, such immortal cultivators are extremely powerful. With just one Qi-induced talisman, she is really not sure that she can hide it from the other party.
The two of them came to Mingyuan City to look for someone for medical treatment, and they had the idea of being inadvertent. They hoped that they would have guessed wrongly, but now it seems that things are contrary to their wishes.
Liu Le'er couldn't help but hesitate.
Just as she was frowning, there was a sudden commotion on the street ahead, and pedestrians on the street were in chaos.
"The horse beast was shocked!"
"Do not to escape!"
A burst of exclamation came from the front, and the crowd was in a mess, running desperately to the sides.
Not far away, a silver carriage was pulled off by a blue monster horse covered with scales. It ran wildly like crazy, and happened to rush towards where Liu Le'er and Liu Shi were.
The weird blue horse screamed like crazy. The carriage was shaking left and right behind. The person who drove the carriage was like white paper, desperately pulling the reins, but it was useless.
Liu Le'er was shocked and pulled the young man to hide, but it was too late.
