Chapter 696: Learning From a Human Snake, Saving Others
Li Changxiao was carrying a bamboo basket with sickles and herbs in it. Early this morning, the old Wang family in the small town went hunting in the mountains and caught a wild boar, but unfortunately broke his leg. When he passed by the inn, he asked Li Changxiao to set his bones.
Li Changxiao never publicized his medical skills, but over the years, a few people knew that he had good medical skills, and would seek treatment from him for minor ailments.
The old Wang's leg fell on the stone tip, and it was dripping with blood. The bones were visible, and the flesh and blood were mixed with gravel. It was already a very serious disease in the mortal world. But Li Changxiao smiled and told him that this was just a minor illness, so Lao Wang didn't need to worry. Lao Wang also believed it. Li Changxiao's treatment was simple. He first blindfolded Lao Wang, used fine needles to pick out the gravel, then applied needles around the wound and applied herbs.
However, it seems simple, but it always hides the subtleties of the universe. The more subtle, ordinary and inconspicuous everything Li Changxiao does, the more miraculous it will be to understand the universe in his palm.
This is similar to Li Changxiao's dream. He and Mei Sanniang can barely be regarded as "harmony". After Lao Wang was cured, he was already walking around a lot, but Li Changxiao told him not to go hunting in the mountains these days.

Lao Wang smiled and agreed, and to express his gratitude, he cut off a big leg of the wild boar and gave it to him. The meat of the pork leg is firm and firm, and needs to be stewed over high heat, and the ingredients must be handled properly before it can become a delicacy.
So Li Changxiao went up the mountain to collect herbs and wanted to make a bowl of Shiquandabu roasted pork leg. The herbs he needed all grew on the cliffs. So today's scene happened. On the way back, they met Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan who were unconscious, and Qing Chunhua collapsed and cried.
It's all a coincidence, but that's not necessarily the case. Qing Chunhua is Zhang Mo's disciple, and Li Changxiao can't just ignore her, so meeting her today is somewhere between coincidence and reason. Perhaps it is to control the universe, control fortune, and control misfortunes and blessings, the three of which are combined with each other. These three are all existences that are difficult to fathom, and they are drawn in a mysterious way.
Li Changxiao checked the injuries of the three people and just smiled, which was nothing. Qing Chunhua said: "I didn't listen to you and ended up like this. You will be very happy to see it." Li Changxiao nodded and said: "Of course I am happy."
Qing Chunhua felt that the shopkeeper was so heartless. When he saw people suffering, he would not comfort them and would always make sarcastic remarks. Li Changxiao ignored it, leaned down and tapped Liu Ju's back with his fingers.
The tentacles are smooth.
The wild beast of the ancient world, the snake, is really cunning and insidious. Its frontal combat ability is mediocre, but it is good at using tricks to deceive and frame, which is very scary. Moreover, the Snake can talk to people, and anyone who responds will also become a Snake within a certain period of time.
Li Changxiao had gone into the mountains several times to suppress the killings, but the killings were incessant and very strange and difficult to deal with. Every time he thought he had killed them all, they would appear again after a while. And because most of the people who study human snakes are people who transform into snakes and retain human memories, to a certain extent, killing them is the same as killing people. Over time, Li Changxiao was unwilling to get in touch with them in depth. All he could do was to remind passers-by to try not to take the mountain road in the northwest direction.
It is easy to break the venom of human snakes. Before completely transforming into a snake, you must carefully regulate the five elements in your body and take hot and thick soup every day, and you can recover little by little.
Li Changxiao carried Liu Ju on his back, "You carry Xiaochan on your back and follow me back to the inn." At this moment, Qing Chunhua became obedient and sensible, and honestly carried Qu Xiaochan on her back and followed Li Changxiao.
After walking a few miles, Qing Chunhua asked: "Did you specifically want to save us, but you were too embarrassed to speak, so you pretended to collect medicine?" Li Changxiao chuckled, "You think so...I can't say you are wrong. ”
Qing Chunhua said: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier." Li Changxiao held a sickle in his hand and chopped the branches in front of him, not caring at all, "Hey, you are quite honest." Qing Chunhua's face immediately turned red, and she felt extremely awkward. , I finally mustered up the courage to apologize, but I didn't expect to be ridiculed in return.
Qing Chunhua spat, then became sullen and stopped talking. She thought fiercely in her heart: "If I turn into a snake, I will find a way to turn you into a snake as soon as possible to see if you still say sarcastic words."
Qing Chunhua looked around and suddenly wondered: "I've walked this road too, why can't I get out? I always feel like I'm going in circles. Why does it seem to be different now that you've walked on it?"
Li Chang smiled and said: "After the scholar snake chooses its prey, it will always follow it secretly. This strange beast has a characteristic. Wherever it crawls, the mountains, terrain, and water will be slightly distorted."
"If I guess correctly, the reason why you got lost is because since you met the scholar snake, there have been hundreds of scholar snakes secretly following you all around, but you were not calm enough to notice them in time."
As soon as she said this, Qing Chunhua's hair stood on end. She never expected that there would be hundreds of beasts secretly following her with a human face and a snake body. Thinking back to the past few days, a chill suddenly rose. The wave of fear made her shiver all over, and she looked around cautiously. She also quickened her steps and leaned towards Li Changxiao.
Qing Chunhua said, "What about now?" Li Changxiao said, "Let's follow." Li Changxiao stopped, pointed to the bushes on the left, and said, "Look carefully."
Qing Chunhua looked in the direction. At first, I didn't notice anything strange. It was clearly an ordinary green plant. But after staring for a long time, I felt an inexplicable chill in my heart. I just felt that it was eerie, so I concentrated on taking a closer look. His eyes gradually passed through the gaps between green leaves and branches, and met a pair of resentful human eyes.
She was startled, her legs weakened, and she almost fell. Li Changxiao grabbed his shoulder, lifted it up gently, and joked: "If you are so timid, how can you go around in the world in the future?" Qing Chunhua cried immediately and wanted to cry to the shopkeeper. He was so ungrateful, but he didn't dare to say more. He said that he was afraid that he would make him angry and leave him alone in the forest.
Qing Chunhua asked tremblingly: "I have extraordinary eyesight and have opened my eyes. I should not have been unable to see them before." Li Changxiao replied: "They are blocked by the mountain. No matter how strong your eyesight is, it is still your naked eyes, and your experience is average. If it were your master, this little thing would not be difficult for her."
After that, he quickened his pace. The mountain is mysterious. But you only need to focus on one place to break through the confusing mountain, and you will suddenly see the light. Qing Chunhua looked around and saw that there were indeed human-like snakes all around. And those pairs of resentful eyes followed the two of them.
Qing Chunhua asked tremblingly: "Where did this monster come from?"
