Pick up the Dragon

Thanks to the late An Amulet, Peng Yu fell asleep until the sun was up, and the exhaustion of the past few days and the hostility from nightmares were swept away.He sat beside the bed in confusion and thought for a while, then slapped his head and hurried to find a book for Uncle Dragon King.

In the end, the butler told him that there was no need to look for it. The Dragon King took away twenty copies by himself, and ordered another fifty. He is reading them in the backyard.

What did Peng Yu hear?Twenty books?Does he read or eat books?

He strolled to the backyard and saw a thin white figure parked by the pool, sitting cross-legged on the bamboo mat with his back straight.This person seems to be meditating, but there is a book on his knees, and a Zhang Fu is hanging two feet in front of him, which is spinning around.When he got closer, he clasped his hands lightly and didn't touch anything, but the book was flipping through by itself, and in less than half a moment, a book had been read from beginning to end.

Peng Yu looked at him with question marks all over his head, thinking that this man's eyes are also closed, what book is he reading?This book goes by so fast, can you read it clearly?

Read the book again, after reading it once, he flew away from his lap and fell lightly to the side.There is already a thick stack on the left, about ten volumes, while there are three volumes left on the right.

Peng Yu rubbed his chin, and then found a more interesting thing. The Dragon King seemed to be sitting in meditation, but he was not honest.An arm-thick dragon's tail protruded from the hem of his robe, resting on the edge of the pool of water, swinging it left and right, teasing the koi in the water to swim around with the tip of his tail, all of them open wide. Mouth, just can't eat.

Peng Yu despised the stupid fish raised by himself, and then carefully sized up the dragon tail, eagerly chasing after it. He didn't know what the difference was with the stupid fish.

The giant that swept away the courtyard wall that day looks much smaller now, densely lined with dragon scales, with a jade-like luster, firm and soft, as if you can sell a piece of it for a price Liancheng—Peng Yu naturally wanted to pick it up, but unfortunately he couldn't bear it.

The tip of the tail is a handful of fluffy fur. When Peng Yu saw it, he remembered the fox fur collar he wore last year.The snow-white snow-white hand flutters up and down with the movement, occasionally making ripples on the water surface, but it doesn't get wet at all.

It must feel good.

Thinking of this, Peng Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed the tip of the tail that seemed to be twitching wildly.

Li Yi woke up in the morning and tried to break the seal in his body. He thought that a mere seal would take him a lot of effort. Who would have thought that the group of immortals put a lot of thought into it, but he couldn't break it for a while? have to open.

So he was somewhat annoyed, pulling out the scales and sealing the spell, clearly trying to put him to death.Not wanting to waste precious time, he took twenty books from the Peng family's library and read them while rushing.

Reading is really boring, so his restless tail came out to join in the fun. When he was a little dragon, he was not so restrained. He practiced alone, regardless of whether he was in dragon or human form. He often showed his tail and horns. outside.

The tail has many functions, besides teasing all kinds of small animals, the most important thing is to maintain balance.It's a pity that he has been the Dragon King for these years, his nature has been annihilated, and he is tired and flustered by putting on airs every day. Now that he has fallen into the world, it is rare to enjoy some leisure.

Anyway, when he was in human form, the mortals in Peng's mansion couldn't see the dragon parts on his body, so he sneakily exposed his tail. At first he wanted to release the dragon's horns as well, but he thought it would probably destroy his body. hairstyle, so let it go.

He divides his mind into three purposes, making seals, reading books and teasing fish.It's a pity that it can only be divided into three uses. I was so focused for a while that I didn't notice that Peng Yu was standing behind me.

Then he was caught by the tail.

He was so startled that the whole dragon almost jumped up, and with a swipe of the ground, he retracted his tail.His majestic Dragon King was caught by the tail for no reason, and the people in the clan would laugh for 3000 years if he said it.He has always been used to majesty, how can he stand this kind of stimulation?

The wound on his neck almost burst open, he turned his head to look at Peng Yu dumbfounded, the culprit was staring at his empty palm in a daze, thinking that he had clearly caught it, why did it disappear all of a sudden?

Li Yi is even more stupid than him, how can this surnamed Peng see his tail?Can you still grab it?What is the background of this man?

Peng Yu swept under his buttocks for a long time, but he didn't see that dishonest tail again, so he couldn't help asking: "Hey, where did it go?"

Where did it go?The Dragon King's own tail still wants to tell you where it's going?

Peng Yu spread his palms towards him, and said endlessly in shocking words: "Play with me."

... for you to play with?

Is this the attitude you should have towards the Dragon King?

"Hurry up, you can play with fish, but you can't play with me?"

Li Yi: "..."

The mortals nowadays are really upside down.

He closed his eyes again calmly, and continued to turn the pages by himself, but the "untouchable" tail was honestly placed in Peng Yu's hands.

Peng Yu sat beside him, stroking the hair on the dragon's tail contentedly, squinting at the suspicious blush on a certain dragon's cheek and behind his ear, and asked, "Can I pull two?"

I have to push forward, does this person not know what "fear" is in his bones?

Li Yi frowned: "No."

Peng Yu had no choice but to give up. When the tail rested peacefully in his hand, it looked like a fine work of art - a little less alive.

The koi in the pool didn't have anyone to tease them, so they didn't gather together on the shore, and went to the bottom of the lotus leaves or deeper into the water one by one.Lingling water flows from the miniature waterfall beside the pool, which brings the glass-like water to life.

Li Yi finished reading the last three books, but the seal was still not broken, so he simply gave up.His tail was clenched in other people's hands, which made him a little confused. If he couldn't break through the seal and hurt himself, it would be bad.

He got up and put the dragon's tail back, and went back to his room. Peng Yu was hanging on the back of his buttocks, and he didn't know what to do with him.Just at this time, the servant brought over a pot of freshly brewed hot tea, and Peng Yu came up to him like offering a treasure and said, "By the way, you can try this tea, it's the new tea brought over by the gourds."

Drinking hot tea on a hot day, I don't know what's wrong with the people in Peng's residence.

Li Yi glanced at him indifferently, picked up the teacup as a gesture of honor.But before the tea reached his mouth, his sense of smell, which was comparable to a dog's nose, sensed something was wrong—why does this tea have a fishy smell?

Bite the bullet and taste it again, and even frowned immediately, the green and clear tea was tasted by the tricky Dragon King, it was really fishy.

He let out a "tsk", put down the teacup, wishing he could spit out the mouthful too: "What? Boiled corpses?"

Peng Yu didn't understand, so he said, "Huh?"

"Try it yourself."

Before Peng Yu realized what kind of evaluation the Lord Dragon gave, he tasted it quicker than his brain. He was first scalded by the hot tea to the tip of his tongue, and then he smacked something wrong: "Why is this taste so strange?"

Then lifted the lid of the teapot and smelled it: "Is this pot boiled fish? Haven't washed it yet?"

Li Yi snorted coldly, fanned his nose and moved away: "Hurry up and take it away."

Smoked a dragon.

"No, how could this year's new tea taste like this?" Peng Yu finally understood, his face darkened suddenly, he shook the lid of the pot, and when he went out, he yelled, "Hulu! Get out!"

Leader Hu, who had only been interrogated in the middle of the night before, was taken advantage of again.

While listening to his young master's scolding... no, earnestly teaching, he silently mourned for himself, wondering why he was so unlucky recently, he went to a ghost town and brought back "smuggled goods" "The little yellow book, now there is something wrong with this tea.

Strange to say, the least likely thing to go wrong is the tea leaves.The tea merchants who supplied them with tea had been in contact with the Peng family countless times, and they almost led them directly to the tea fields to pick them.There is no chance of problems with the tea leaves that are checked at every level?

Could it be that he entered evil when he passed the ghost town that day?But this tea is no better than a book, and it is easy to seal it in a jar. What kind of evil wind can blow through the jar?

In front of Li Yi was a can of tea leaves transported by Hulu and the others. He gently picked up a pinch, put it under his nose and smelled it carefully, and then tapped his temple: "Don't scold, it's not about the tea."

Peng Yu was startled, and looked at him: "What's the problem?"

"It should be water." He stood up and took two steps with his hands behind his back. "What kind of water do you use to make tea?"

Before Peng Yu could answer, a heart-piercing scream suddenly came from the yard, and a maid hurriedly ran in with tears in her eyes: "Master, master! It's not good! They are in the well Li... hit it up... hit it up with a bunch of hair!"

Peng Yu walked out with a gloomy expression. Before he got close, he saw servants surrounding the courtyard, and some even vomited while leaning on a tree.He made a way, only to see a bucket overturned by the well in the northeast corner of the courtyard, and a large mass of jet-black hair spread out in the water that was splashed all over the ground.

Li Yi stood beside him, frowning and covering his nose.The fishy smell by the well was exactly the same as the smell in the tea.

"Oh my god! Why, why is it still moving!"

The crowd screamed again, and Peng Yu shouted impatiently: "What are you shouting for! Shut up!"

The ball of "hair" was moved by itself without anyone touching it.Li Yi squatted down enduring the stench, and saw that it was not hair at all, but a kind of worm, because it was thin and long, it was brown and black, and a large group of them crowded together, like a big group of hair.

He stretched out his hand to pinch it, but he probably felt it was too dirty, he paused in his hand, and pulled out another piece of talisman paper, using the talisman paper as a pad to carefully pinch one.The ugly worm was writhing in his hands, twisting and struggling to jump out.

He looked at the pile of bugs and felt something was wrong.This is a kind of parasite, and he has seen it before. They can be found in various water bodies, but he has never smelled such a strong fishy smell from this insect.

If it's not something the bugs themselves have, there's only one explanation—these bugs have eaten carrion.The fishy smell was not only the smell of fish and insects, but also an irrepressible smell of corpses.

He instantly thought of Chen Zhou.

At this moment, with his extraordinary ear, he heard the whispers of a few female relatives: "Tell me, does this bug...can it burrow into people's bodies? The patients all had the same symptoms, stomach ache. Doctor Zhou gave them medicine, and then... a bunch of worms came out."

Another said: "Oh, don't say it!"

"Also, there is one more, the bug got into his brain, Dr. Zhou pulled out such a long... such a long..."

"Don't say it!"

Li Yi glanced at them, got up and faced Peng Yu, and said in a low voice: "This bug should not be parasitic in the human body, but at present, there are already infected patients among the patients admitted by Zhou Huai. Maybe this bug has already occurred. Mutation."

If you have eaten carrion, you will inevitably be more courageous.

"What should I do?"

"I have a way to keep this worm from approaching Peng's house, but the entire city of Xianzhou cannot be protected with my current ability. And I suspect that this worm came from Chenzhou."

Peng Yu was startled: "Chenzhou? Chenzhou is thirty miles away from Xianzhou. This bug is only a little bigger. It will take half a year to crawl over?"

Li Wei shook his head, and a map appeared in his mind: "This worm lives on water. Lizhou, Chenzhou, Xianzhou and the surrounding counties are all on the same water vein. There is no matter whether there is an underground river or not." There are no bugs, and if some clean or dirty things are sent along with it, no one can control it."

He touched his chin, and the worm in his hand was almost dead: "Lizhou and Chenzhou are only less than five miles away. I suspect that there is some kind of plague in Lizhou. It's not a plague, it's a disease caused by this worm." The disease has no particularly prominent symptoms, but abdominal pain, which can easily be treated as other minor illnesses. Eating insect eggs by mistake may lead to parasitism. If it is not treated in time, and the insects grow in the body, then..."

When he said this, Peng Yu shivered.There are so many adults in the well, how many eggs are there?

Li Yi sighed: "Let me boldly guess again, the insect spread so quickly, it may be partly due to my credit. It fell from the sky that day, and it may have hit too hard, moving the ground and disturbing the water. Only then did the worm take advantage of the loophole."

Peng Yu: "..."

People say that seeing a dragon is auspicious, why didn't he see where the auspiciousness is?

Li Yi also seemed to feel ashamed, touched his nose, and handed the dead bug wrapped in talisman paper to the housekeeper: "I'm sorry to bother you to go to Jirentang, and it is said that Peng's family was also infested by this bug." , Ask him to prescribe a prescription for everyone to drink when they come back. If there are infected people, we will deworm them, and those who are not infected will also take precautions."

The butler nodded and took the talisman paper.

Li Yi patted Peng Yu's shoulder again: "Go and find me a knife and four stones the size of a palm."

Peng Yu gave orders inexplicably, and went back to the room to find the knife.

As soon as he left, Li Yi wrote a fire talisman and threw it at the pile of worms, and the swarm of worms burst into flames, twisting and making people's scalp numb, just like an insect explosion scene.

He took the knife and asked again: "How many water sources does the Peng family have?"

Peng Yu thought for a while and said, "Three places, two wells, and one pool... Hey, what are you doing?"

I saw him slashing his palm fiercely with the blade, and blood gushed out instantly.He walked to the edge of the well, dripped the dragon's blood into the well, and dripped a circle on the platform of the well: "Don't drink water for half an hour, and pour out all the water you drew before. Just bear with it. "

Then, he repeated the above actions to the other two water sources, and took a bloody handprint on each of the four stones: "Bury these four stones in the four corners of the house, and bury them deeper. Don't wipe off the blood on them. .”

After finishing the order, he found a nearby stone bench and sat down, propped his forehead with one hand, and gasped wearily.

The bit of blood that had just accumulated was gone again.

Peng Yu quickly bandaged his wound, and whispered in his ear: "Didn't you say that the dragon energy will make those things stronger? Then these bugs won't..."

"It's okay," Li Yi closed his eyes, his voice was softer than usual, his cheeks were pale, "there are only some bugs, they don't have the ability to fly snakes, if it weren't for the snake scales, the resentment in your book would be stained with dragon blood It dissipates at the same time. Dragon blood is yang, and the things that come out of these carrion dare not approach."

Peng Yu didn't ask any more questions, dismissed his servants, and heard him mutter softly: "I wanted to wait until the seal was broken... Now I'm afraid the schedule will be advanced."
