The days before transmigration were always very dull. Every day, besides attending medical sessions in the medicine shop, Ling Xiao would cultivate, move his internal energy, and open up his meridians. Fortunately, he had Lin Wan 'er and the other beauties to accompany him every day, so he did not feel bored.
As usual, Ling Xiao went to the back of the mountain early in the morning to do his morning exercises to absorb the purple qi of the rising sun. After finishing his morning exercises, he hunted a wild boar and returned. As soon as he entered the medicine shop, he ran into a flustered Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li was Li Changsheng's wife.
" Ling Xiao, you're finally back." When Mrs. Li saw Ling Xiao, she immediately grabbed his hand and pulled him out."Not good. I don't know why your Big Brother Li has the same illness as Huang Sheng. He's unconscious.”
" Don't worry, Mrs. Li. I'll go with you to take a look." Ling Xiao didn't dare to stay any longer. He threw the wild boar on the ground and instructed Liu Sisi to get the medicine before hurriedly following Mrs. Li out.
Because of Huang Sheng, Ling Xiao's medicine store had all the medicine ready, so there was no need to go through the trouble.
When they arrived at the Li family's residence, Ling Xiao saw Li Changsheng lying on the bed. Just like Huang Sheng, he was unconscious because his Yang Qi had been sucked by the evil spirit.
Ling Xiao handed the medicine to Mrs. Li and comforted her, asking her to feed the medicine to Li Changsheng every day. Only then did he return to the medicine shop after receiving Mrs. Li's gratitude.
When he returned to the medicine shop, Village Chief Luo was already waiting there. Lin Wan 'er had brewed tea for the old man. Seeing Ling Xiao return, Village Chief Luo hurriedly put down the teacup and invited Ling Xiao to sit down.
"Ling Xiao, is Li Changsheng alright?”Village Chief Luo asked with concern.
" Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief. Big Brother Li is fine now. I've already prescribed a prescription and caught some medicine. He'll wake up in a few days." Ling Xiao was still very confident in his medical skills. His current medical skills were not only passed down from Fei Jie in the world of Qing Yu Nian, but also further improved by the Maoshan Taoist skills in Mr. Zombie's world.
Since ancient times, Taoism and medicine were inseparable. The Taoism of Mao Mountain was broad and profound, and it also included medical skills.
" That's good." Village Chief Luo felt a little relieved when he heard that."There was Huang Sheng before, and now there's Li Changsheng. Xiaosang Village is getting more and more unstable. You go in and out every day and go into the mountains to pick herbs.”
" Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, I'll be careful," Ling Xiao said,""Oh right, tell your Second Brother Luo not to go into the mountains to pick herbs for the next few days. The herbs in the shop are enough for the time being.”
" Alright, that's good." Village Chief Luo stretched out his hand and said,""The things that have happened recently are too strange. I'm exhausted. I'm old and my body isn't as good as it was back then. It's still good that you're young and have the drive.”
" Grandpa Luo isn't old," Ling Xiao said immediately,""Even if I'm old, I'm still strong."
Village Chief Luo laughed and said happily,""You're the only one who knows how to make this old man happy. I won't talk anymore.”
" I'm telling the truth," Ling Xiao said with a smile,""How about this, Grandpa Luo? Don't be in a hurry to leave. I'll give you a prescription and some medicine. Take it back and boil it. This medicine has no other effect. It can help you regulate your body and bones.”
" No need, no need." Village Chief Luo waved his hand to stop him.
Ling Xiao stood up and walked to the medicine cabinet. He grabbed some herbs for Village Chief Luo according to the prescription and carefully wrapped them up before stuffing them into Village Chief Luo's hands without any explanation.
Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't ask Village Chief Luo for money. Although he insisted on giving it to him, Ling Xiao insisted on not taking it.
" Father, Xiao Hu and Xiao Yao are missing. I can't find them even after searching the entire village." Just as Ling Xiao and Village Chief Luo were at a stalemate, a young man rushed into the medicine shop and shouted anxiously at Village Chief Luo.
Naturally, Ling Xiao recognized the person. He was the second son of Village Chief Luo. As for Xiaohu and Xiaoyao, they were Village Chief Luo's grandsons.
" Aiya, these two brats are just not obedient. I don't know where they've gone crazy. There are wild boars and jackals outside. It's not peaceful to begin with. I'm so angry." When Village Chief Luo heard that his grandson could not be found, he immediately became anxious like an ant on a hot pan. He stomped his feet and sighed repeatedly.
" Grandpa Luo, don't be anxious. The child is mischievous. He might have hidden somewhere or come out on his own in a while," Ling Xiao said,""How about this, you and Brother Luo bring some people to continue searching in the village. I'll look outside the village.”
" Okay, okay, okay. Ling Xiao, thank you," Village Chief Luo said as he ran out.
" Wan 'er, you stay at home with Sisi and Dong' er. I'll go outside and help Grandpa Luo look for Xiaohu." After Village Chief Luo left, Ling Xiao did not delay and quickly instructed Lin Wan 'er to go out as well.
Because of Huang Sheng and Li Changsheng's incident, Ling Xiao knew that there were evil spirits in the mountains outside. Even if it was not good, there were still many wild beasts in the forest. The two children were Village Chief Luo's precious flesh and blood, so nothing must happen to them.
After giving his orders, Ling Xiao hurriedly left the village. He was not worried about his home as Hong Xiu's presence was enough to ensure the safety of the three girls.
After leaving Xiaosang Village, Ling Xiao went straight to the Earth Temple. Compared to trying his luck without any clues, Ling Xiao had spies.
Ling Xiao's spy was naturally the Earth God in the Earth Temple.
"I asked you to keep an eye on the village, but did you find out where the two children went?”Ling Xiao summoned the Earth God from the Earth Temple.
" Young Master, my powers are weak. I can only monitor the area three miles around Xiaosang Village. Outside this area, I can't do anything," the Earth God said in fear."However, I do know that after the two children left the village, they headed southeast.”
Hearing this, Ling Xiao knew that things weren't good. The southeast direction was the direction of Fox Hill, so he didn't dare to delay any longer. He immediately followed the instructions of the Earth God and headed southeast.
Ling Xiao went at full speed and headed southeast. His hard work paid off. After a while, he found Luo Xiaohu in a big tree hole.
Ling Xiao immediately called Luo Xiaohu out from the tree hole. At this moment, the little guy was already frightened and could not even speak properly.
" Xiaohu, don't be afraid." Ling Xiao patted Luo Xiaohu's head and tried his best to comfort him."Tell Brother Ling Xiao, where did Little Yao go? Why are you alone?”
"I actually…" Luo Xiaohu looked at Ling Xiao and said in a panic,""Actually, I didn't mean it. I lied to Xiao Yao that I found a good place and asked her to go with me.”
Luo Xiaohu took out a letter and handed it to Ling Xiao. He continued,""We picked up a letter not far from the village. Then, a fox ran out and kept chasing us. As it chased us, it even spoke and said that it wanted us to return the letter to it or it would eat the two of us. I was very afraid and kept running. I found this tree hole and went in. Only then did I realize that Xiao Yao was gone.”
At this point, Luo Xiaohu finally couldn't help but cry."Please don't tell Grandpa about this. If he finds out that I lost Little Yao, he will definitely spank me. Little Yao must have been taken away by that talking fox.”
Hearing this, Ling Xiao sighed in his heart. He thought that Little Yao was probably dead. He did not dare to delay and quickly opened the letter in his hand, hoping to find some clues about Little Yao.
After Ling Xiao finished reading the letter, his brows furrowed tightly. He knew that things were not good. Little Yao had probably really been captured by the demons.
This letter was a love poem written by the Fourth Master Huang to Hu Meiniang. It was filled with lewd words and sentences. It was truly lewd by nature.
Huang Silang did not know what kind of demon it was, but Hu Meiniang was most likely a fox spirit. Previously, when Huang Sheng and Li Changsheng were sucked in by the demon, Ling Xiao had already guessed that it was most likely the doing of a fox spirit. Now that he had heard of a fox that could talk, it really confirmed his guess.
Speaking of which, it was interesting that this vixen's name was also Hu Meiniang.
" I might have to go meet this vixen. Who knows if Xiao Yao is captured by them," Ling Xiao thought to himself as he casually burned the letter in his hand.
With the thought that nothing unexpected had happened to Little Yao, Ling Xiao decided to try his luck with Hu Meiniang and see if he could rescue Little Yao. Hence, he first settled Luo Xiaohu in the Earth Temple, lest Village Chief Luo find out that Little Yao's life was uncertain and could not accept it.
After settling Luo Xiaohu down, Ling Xiao changed into his Taoist robe. Since there were fox spirits around, he had to do the things that he had to do.
After changing into his Daoist robe, Ling Xiao headed straight for Fox Hill. Since Hu Meiniang was a fox spirit, her nest must be in Fox Hill.
Not daring to delay, Ling Xiao sped up. The mountain path was rugged and dense with trees. Even so, it did not take long for them to reach Fox Hill.
Stepping into Fox Hill and into the dense forest, Ling Xiao searched all the way. Suddenly, he saw a person not far ahead with a child following beside him. Upon closer inspection, it was the missing Little Yao.
Ling Xiao was overjoyed and shouted,""Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
When the Daoist in front heard that, he immediately stopped and turned around to look at Ling Xiao warily. At the same time, he shielded Little Yao behind him.
" Brother Ling Xiao," Little Yao saw that it was Ling Xiao and immediately shouted happily,"" It's Brother Ling Xiao, Brother Ling Xiao!"
When the Daoist heard Little Yao's words, he relaxed his vigilance and stopped to wait.
Ling Xiao arrived in front of the Daoist and Little Yao in a few flashes. He bowed to the Daoist and said,""Thank you, fellow daoist. This little fellow disappeared for no reason and worried the elders in the family. They sent me out to look for him. Fortunately, I met fellow daoist. Thank you for saving my life.”
" It's alright, it's alright. You're welcome, you're welcome,"" I am Qing Lingzi, a disciple of Ningyang Temple. A few days ago, the second son of the Luo family went to Ningcheng Mountain to collect herbs and happened to meet my master. I learned that there was an incident in Xiaosang Village where evil spirits were gathering Yang Qi. It is my duty as a cultivator to subdue evil spirits. My master ordered me to go down the mountain to eliminate evil spirits. Coincidentally, I saw a fox demon chasing after this child, so I saved him from the fox demon's mouth. There's no need to thank me."”
