Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Poria cocos

Now that he was discovered, there was no need to hide anymore, Gongshu Lingbao simply manipulated the wooden bird to fly back, gliding lightly to Zimian and the others, hovering above their heads.Seeing the huge wooden bird, the horses jumped up and neighed in fright, Zi Mian and He Lingyun hurriedly reined in and controlled the horses. "Oh, be careful!" Long Baiyue looked scared on the wooden bird and couldn't help exclaiming. He Lingyun pointed the whip at them while controlling the horse, and roared angrily: "Stay away from us! Didn't you see the horse that scared me?"

Zi Mian looked up at them, but said worriedly: "Don't fly too high." When the wooden bird was far away and the horses calmed down, Long Baiyue saw that Zi Mian and Ling Yun were both wearing light clothes, and there were shovels and picks protruding from the baggage they carried with them.What they used for lighting were two fist-sized fluorites, each of which was wrapped in a rope net and tied to the horse. It was round and beautiful with blue light.This stone was recently rewarded by the emperor to Zi Mian, Long Baiyue had never seen it before. "Since you've already followed, let them follow." Zi Mian smiled, comforted He Lingyun, who had veins on his forehead, and whipped the horse to continue galloping forward.

He Lingyun cursed in a low voice, and had no choice but to keep up.Gongshu Lingbao grinned quite complacently, and manipulated the wooden bird to fly behind them.The horses ran through the night until the third watch of the moon, the road ahead became more and more desolate and deserted. Occasionally, there was a cry from the night owl, against the faint blue light of the fluorite, chilling the back of Long Baiyue on the wooden bird. When will we go?She muttered in her heart, and glanced at the black tree shadows that kept retreating on both sides, feeling a little impatient. Among the majestic mountains, Lin Mang walked deeper and deeper, and before they knew it, they were already in the depths of the valley.When Zi Mian finally reined in and called to stop, even He Lingyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.This area is a pure barren mountain, without temple incense, sparsely populated, and the mountain road is so narrow that even wooden birds can hardly fall down.

After getting off the horse, Zi Mian took out a compass from the bag, and observed the surrounding landforms by the light of the fluorite.He Lingyun tied the two horses to the tree, took the burden and carried it on his back, weighed the shovel inside, and walked to Zi Mian's side: "Did we find the right one?" Gongshu Lingbao put away the wooden bird's wings, jumped up and down in front of He Lingyun: "What are you looking for, Poria cocos, what are you doing for it?" "You want to care?!" He Lingyun gave her an angry look.But seeing that Gongshu Lingbao didn't think he was disobedient at all, he continued to jump up and down to join in the fun.

Long Baiyue turned her head around, looked at Zi Mian and asked, "I'm looking for Fu Ling, but because of Mrs. Qian's paralysis?" "Yes," Zi Mian nodded, and continued to focus on the compass, "Ling Yun, please light the torch." He Lingyun glanced at the fluorite on the horse, guessing that Zimian's move must have a deep meaning, so he took the bag and took out the flint, lit a torch and held it in his hand. "I want a torch too!" Gongshu Lingbao became excited when he saw the bright flames, and reached out to snatch it from He Lingyun.

"Stop messing around," He Lingyun hurriedly raised the torch, freeing one hand to hold down the monkey-like spiritual treasure, "Didn't you see that there are red pine trees all around? The sky is dry, so give me the torch? Do you want to set it on fire?" mountain?" At this time, Bao'er had already turned into a human form, and was standing aside with Long Baiyue watching the fire from the other side.Long Baiyue leaned close to Bao'er's ear, stared at Gongshu Lingbao and laughed in a low voice: "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart." "What?" Bao'er didn't respond yet.

"I said Lingbao," Long Baiyue smiled, "I don't see that she likes He Lingyun?" "No," Bao'er shook her head and said to herself, "I know you like Lord Zi Mian, but I don't feel that Lingbao likes Young Master He." Long Baiyue was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what Bao'er meant, and said with a smile: "Yes, this time you can see clearly——Ling Baoguang will make a fuss, what exactly is true liking, I'm afraid she will I’m still confused—it’s a child after all.” Bao'er couldn't help turning her head to look at Long Baiyue sideways, and scratched her arm: "You call her a child? She's older than you, and she's already twenty years old."

"What?!" Long Baiyue's jaw was about to drop from shock—even her old eyes were deceived. Of course, her old eyes never stared at women, but, but——Si Gong Shu Lingbao, don't I want to lie to her again about her secret recipe for beauty! Long Baiyue stared murderously at Gongshu Lingbao's ruddy and childish peach face, clenching her teeth with jealousy, but at this moment Zi Mian spoke and diverted her attention. "Let's enter the forest from here." Zi Mian stretched out his hand and pointed to the red pine forest beside him, looking for a general direction.

Immediately, everyone followed Zi Mian into the woods, He Lingyun walked in front with a torch, Long Baiyue and Bao'er walked in the middle, Gongshu Lingbao volunteered to break the back, and put the faint blue fluorite on his head, shining brightly Jumping all over the place. Under the interweaving reflection of red flames and blue fluorescence, the night was far away.There are not many other kinds of trees in the forest, only pine trees; the ground is full of dodders, which are densely entwined on the bushes, hooking the skirts and trousers legs of passers-by, making it difficult for people to walk.Zi Mian and He Lingyun walked slowly ahead with torches on. After walking for a long time, Long Baiyue felt a little tired after following them.

Just when she was not paying attention, the torch in He Lingyun's hand suddenly dimmed. Long Baiyue only felt that his eyes were dimmed, but Zi Mian had already stopped He Lingyun's footsteps: "Wait..." When everyone heard Zi Mian speak, they immediately became nervous.Holding the torch, He Lingyun didn't dare to move, only looked sideways at Zi Mian, and pressed his voice and asked excitedly, "Did you find it?" There was no wind in the forest, but the flame on the torch kept shaking.Zi Mian took out the talisman paper from her arms, looked at the direction where the flames were swaying on the torch, and pasted a Dao talisman on a pine tree in front of her.At this time, a force from nowhere completely extinguished the flames on the torch, leaving only the glowing blue light of fluorite in the forest.Zi Mian quickly pulled out the shovel from the bag, shoveled away the dodder on the ground, and pasted a Taoist talisman on the flattened ground: "Ling Yun, let's start digging from here."

He Lingyun also hurriedly took the pickaxe and carefully dug the soil, while Long Baiyue and the others could only idle around and watch the fun.After Zi Mian and He Lingyun dug for a short while, they saw a lump of khaki-yellow ball emerging from the soil—couldn't it be Poria cocos!Long Baiyue was so happy that her eyes disappeared from laughter, she likes this kind of thing to get rich out of thin air, a good piece of Poria cocos is worth a lot of money, it's like digging for gold. Unexpectedly, the more this piece of gold was dug, the bigger it was and the longer it was dug, gradually Long Baiyue's eyes became straight.This piece of Poria is bigger than a bucket, shaped like a chubby three-year-old child, with arms and legs, Zi Mian and He Lingyun sweated profusely for a long time, but they still haven't dug it out completely. At the same time, Bao'er was drooling while watching: "My God, if I eat this baby, I can save thirty years of struggle!" Gongshu Lingbao didn't know why, so he could only yell excitedly: "Oh, it looks like a doll, it looks like a doll..." She was dancing outside with the fluorite in her arms, the faint blue light flickered randomly, and the shadows of the trees around her were stacked chaotically.When Zi Mian and He Lingyun worked together to lift Fu Ling out of the soil, a cry of a child came out of nowhere in the forest, and the sound disappeared in an instant, very strange.At first, Long Baiyue thought she was dizzy, but when she saw everyone's stunned faces, she realized that she had heard correctly.She took a step back in fright, thinking to herself that it might be the call of an unknown little beast, and it could never be related to the doll-like Poria in front of her. Unexpectedly, Gongshu Lingbao didn't know what to do, and exclaimed: "Baby is crying!" She jumped away while screaming, and accidentally scratched the Dao talisman that Zi Mian had just stuck on the ground with her feet.At this moment, the Poria cocos screamed suddenly and jumped out of Zi Mian and He Lingyun's hands. "Not good!" Zi Mian hastily stretched out her hand to fish for it, but failed.That Poria cocos jumped into Long Baiyue's arms with a fresh and rustic air, and the oversized Poria cocos was extremely heavy, and threw her down abruptly.Long Baiyue fell to the ground, her eyes blurred, but she could still feel that the Poria cocos was as hot as a ball of living flesh, and there was something wriggling and struggling under the earthy yellow skin, and even without a nose or eyes, it was still screaming . gross!Long Baiyue screamed, and instinctively threw the damn thing out.I heard Zi Mian yelling urgently: "Hurry up and hug it!" "Yes, I'm sorry..." I've already thrown it away... Long Baiyue collapsed on the ground with a blue face, so horrified that she even forgot her goosebumps. The Poria cocos has a human form, so it has already become a spirit, and it will burrow into the soil as soon as it hits the ground.Zi Mian couldn't allow it to escape, and quickly pasted a Taoist talisman on the ground.The magical power of the Dao Fu Ling made Fu Ling dare not enter the ground for a while, but turned around to run away, and saw Bao'er turned into a fox with a groan, and flew out to chase Fu Ling all over the mountain. Zi Mian hurriedly ran to keep up, joined hands with Bao'er to outflank, with the Dao Talisman in hand, ready to catch Fu Ling at any time.Gongshu Lingbao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he illuminated them with a fluorite on his head.The forest was full of blue light flashing randomly, the monsters, elves, beasts and wild girls shouted together, Long Baiyue leaned against the tree with a blue face, rubbed his chest and calmed down, glanced at him, and saw He Lingyun standing aside with a very bad expression, seemingly Very weak - it seems that only the two of them are normal people here, and the feeling of pity for each other arises spontaneously. After making a fuss for a while, Lin Zi finally calmed down. Long Baiyue and He Lingyun followed the blue light to look for it, and saw Zi Mian and the three of them were panting from exhaustion.Bao'er thought to herself that she would have to sit on a wooden bird anyway, so it would be better to be a fox all the time to save trouble; Gongshu Lingbao lay down on the ground with Bao'er to rest weakly, the round fluorite rolled out of her hand, stopped Faintly glowing under the tree.Zi Mian was leaning against the tree, her face covered in sweat, holding Fu Ling in her arms, the doll-shaped Fu Ling had a Zhang Daofu pasted on her head, she was peaceful and quiet at this moment. After resting for a while, they walked back and successfully dug Poria cocos, and they felt much lighter on the way back.The sticky night before dawn made Long Baiyue unable to see the surrounding scenery clearly, his eyes could only follow the faint blue light below the wooden bird, staring at Zimian's blurred figure in the blue halo. After parting ways with Zi Mian and He Lingyun, it was already early morning when we returned to the other hospital of the Imperial Medical Office.Gong Shuling treasured the wooden bird, and together with Bao'er, accompanied Long Baiyue, he sneaked under the wall of the other courtyard.Long Baiyue listened attentively, and felt that there seemed to be no movement in the other courtyard, so she waved to the other two.According to the agreement, Lingbao and Bao'er stacked Arhats under the wall, and set up a shelf for Long Baiyue to step on and climb up the wall.Stepping on them cruelly, Long Baiyue climbed tremblingly on the wall, and rode up on the top of the wall, but she didn't forget to wave goodbye to the two people under the wall. Gongshu Lingbao and Bao'er smiled and winked at her, They held hands and went to the street to eat breakfast.At this time, Long Baiyue began to frown slightly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and jumped towards the inner wall of the courtyard. Fortunately, the soil in the courtyard was soft, so Long Baiyue felt that she was not injured, so she opened her eyes, just as she thought of Amitabha, she found that two eunuchs in charge of another courtyard had stood in front of her at some point.They looked at the panicked Long Baiyue, and said in a strange way: "Dr. Long is back? Let's go, Mr. Yuan has been waiting for a long time."
