medicine stone without medicine

Lou Hua picked up the Cuju that had rolled to his feet, and when he looked up, the gentleman really appeared in front of him.

Lou Hua raised her eyes to observe her husband's expression, but didn't say anything.

He just smiled at Mr. and handed out the Cuju in his hand.The gentleman nodded, thanked him and left with a group of children.

Lou Hua stepped up and followed, like yesterday, all the way to the school.

He didn't care about that gentleman, but first glanced sideways at the yard beside him.

In the yard, the stone table that was smashed by him yesterday stood there, and there was a rocking chair beside the stone table, but there was no weird old man smiling and basking in the sun yesterday.

"Brother Xiaohua, brother Xiaohua?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Lou Hua.

He looked back and saw that it was Chang Ying.

But Chang Ying's current state is a bit strange. He seems to have no entity, giving people a light and unreal feeling.

If you look closely, Lou Hua can even vaguely see the flowering tree behind him through him.

Chang Ying's expression was a little frustrated:

"Brother Xiaohua, I followed you all the way and kept calling for you, didn't you hear me?"

Lou Hua smiled at him habitually:

"I was distracted and didn't pay attention."

"Really?" Chang Ying didn't seem to believe his words very much, but she still smiled, and then walked up to him a few steps, cheered up and asked:

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at that man." Lou Hua pointed to the gentleman playing with the children in the school not far away.

While the children were playing cuju, my husband sat under the peach tree in the yard and recited a thousand-character essay.He read a sentence, and the children learned a sentence with a smile.

Lou Hua patted Chang Ying's head:

"Want to play with them?"

Chang Ying: "Can I?"

Lou Hua nodded.

The child then trotted to join the children's team.

When his figure appeared in the sunlight, the illusory sense of unreality was stronger, and the figure was a bit more transparent than before.

Lou Hua looked at his back and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Chang Ying was an "exception" that appeared midway and was not recorded by the magic circle.His identity is not recognized by the magic circle, and he is destined to disappear slowly over time.

When they completely become part of the magic circle, Chang Ying will completely cease to exist in this world.

Where will the kid go when the time comes?

Lou Hua didn't know, and he didn't care.

He bent his lips, and stepped up to follow.

The yard of the school is larger than that of other houses. There is a brick house standing inside, and a swing is made on the peach tree for the children to play.

When Lou Hua went, the husband was sitting on a chair under the tree reading a book, some petals fell on his shoulders, Lou Hua walked over and raised his hand to stroke them off.

The gentleman froze for a moment, then said:

"Young Master Lou."

"Yeah." Lou Hua took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside him, and didn't ask how the husband knew his name, and just asked straightforwardly:

"Sir, how long have you been in Taoyuan Village?"

Mr. looked down at the book:

"forgotten."

"Can you forget this kind of thing?"

The person reading the book lost his voice, as if he was thinking about his question.

"Then I'll change the question."

Lou Hua looked at him with a smile:

"Sir, where are you from?"

Mr. still didn't respond, Lou Hua said again:

"Sir, after reading a book for hundreds of years, don't you get tired of it?"

Mr. turned over a page of the book, seemed a little dissatisfied with his interruption, and only said:

"I don't understand what the young master is talking about."

"I'm not talking nonsense, why don't you understand?" Lou Hua laughed twice, took out the jade pendant he picked up from the peach tree yesterday from his bosom, and threw it in front of Mr.

"You don't understand the question about Mr., so I'll ask someone else. Just ask Elder Yuanjing, how about it?"

When Lou Hua met him yesterday, he somehow felt that this person looked familiar, but no matter what, he couldn't remember where he saw him.

It wasn't until last night that he opened his eyes and thought about it for most of the night that he finally dug up that old incident from his memory.

He remembered that there was a hall behind the main mountain of Qingyang Mountain, which was not open to the public on weekdays, and only opened during major events. Before that, Qingyang Mountain would organize handyman disciples to clean it.

That hall can be regarded as the place where Qingyang Mountain records the history of the sect. Inside it hangs portraits of the sect leaders, life stories, natal spiritual tools, and natal lamps.In the next room, there are portraits of the elders of the past.

Lou Hua used to go in once when he was a handyman disciple, and it happened to be the elder's room that was assigned to clean.

He stayed in there all day by himself that day, it was too boring, so he looked at every portrait carefully.

Among them, the head of the five contemporary elders is the "Mister" in front of him. Another name is Yuan Jing.

After hearing the name, the gentleman was stunned, and it took him a long time to raise his hand to pick up the jade pendant.

He stroked the strokes of his name with his fingertips, and there was a slight tremor between his movements.

Yuan mirror.

Seeing him like this, Lou Hua found it boring, so she flicked up her sleeves and stood up.

He walked around the school yard, looking at the surrounding environment.Finally, his eyes fell on the thick peach tree in the yard.

The children in the yard were still playing, and their laughter and frolicking were slightly noisy.

Lou Hua stepped close to the peach tree, then raised her hand, and picked a peach blossom.

The moment the peach blossoms left the stems and leaves, the sound of playfulness behind him disappeared instantly, and everything was silent for a while, only the rustling of the wind blowing through the treetops.

Lou Hua squeezed the peach blossom in her hand, and looked back slowly.

The children who were playing around just now suddenly stared straight at him with their eyes wide open.

Their movements stopped at that moment, and the Cuju in a child's hand rolled down, rolling several times on the ground.

Chang Ying was among the children, he was so frightened by the sudden change that he dared not move.

Lou Hua looked at the scene, and tentatively put the picked flower back on the treetop.

The wolf-like eyes of the group of children disappeared, and they continued their actions just now, as if nothing had happened.

But Chang Ying didn't dare to stay any longer.

He took a few steps back, and subconsciously wanted to hide beside Lou Hua.

A child saw this and asked:

"Hey, little brother, don't you want to play with us?"

After all, Chang Ying was a disciple of the Immortal Sect, so it would be outrageous if he couldn't feel anything wrong at this time.He knew that these children were extraordinary, so he naturally didn't dare to stay any longer.

He shook his head, and was just about to make up a reason to evade it, but before he could say anything, he heard a slight "click" sound from behind.

Chang Ying's heart turned cold, and she turned her head to take a look.

Beside the peach tree, Lou Hua was holding a branch that had just been broken from the tree in his hand, smiling innocently, and even showing off at the group of children.

"Brother Xiaohua!!"

While shouting, Chang Ying rushed towards Lou Hua with the fastest speed.

At the same time, the faces of the group of children also distorted, and they uttered strange and meaningless screams, as if they were about to rush towards the painting.

The dozen or so children were like ferocious beasts, but they couldn't get close to Lou Hua and Chang Ying, because a blue spiritual current flew towards them and stopped them.

The Qinghan sword stabbed obliquely into the ground, and the blue spiritual flow of the sword spread out, creating an enchantment to protect Louhua Changying and the Yuan mirror under the tree.

Yuan Jing was still sitting there, touching the jade pendant in his hand in a daze, his back was a little lonely for no reason, as if he had been separated from them by hundreds of years.

The tranquility of him alone formed a sharp contrast with the children outside the barrier.

Lou Hua glanced at him, raised his palm, and condensed an ice skate with spiritual power.

He whistled to attract the attention of the children outside the barrier, then smiled viciously, raised his hand and used the ice blade to chop at the peach tree beside him without hesitation!

Lou Hua has been thinking since yesterday, since the peach tree is the carrier of obsession, if the peach tree is destroyed, will the people trapped by the peach tree regain their sobriety.

But guessing is not enough, he has to try to know.

Now it just so happened that someone like Yuan Jing appeared, and Lou Hua happened to use him to practice.

The ice blade was submerged into the tree trunk, and when it was pulled out, there was still some thin gray smoke wrapped around it.

If the guess is correct, those should be Yuan Jing's obsessions.

Gray smoke continued to overflow from the cracks in the peach tree, and all the peach blossoms on the tree withered.

In the end, the huge peach tree slowly tilted to one side and fell to the ground with a bang, leaving only pink petals in the sky, mixed with dust and thrown into the air.

Qin Dongyi also rushed over at this time, he pulled Qinghan from the ground, and when he looked up again, the children outside the barrier were silent.

They seemed to be frozen there, and in just a few breaths, their figures grew rapidly.

Children, teenagers, young people, middle-aged people... eventually become rickety old people, and then corrode and weather at an extremely fast speed, falling to the ground and turning into a pool of dead bones.

The cyan barrier gradually dissipated, and the dry bones shattered into pieces, turning into piles of loess.

Yuan Jing under the tree finally stood up from the chair at this time.

A few hundred years is a lifetime for ordinary people, and that time is enough to dissipate all traces of them in the world, just like those children trapped in schools.

But Yuan Jing's face remained the same, but the blank and numb eyes were a little more sad.

He looked sideways at the three people beside him, and his eyes finally fixed on the ice skate in Lou Hua's hand.

He frowned slightly, and looked at Lou Hua in surprise.

Lou Hua ignored his scrutiny, just threw away the things in his hands, and asked Qin Dongyi:

"Did you find that floral blanket?"

Qin Dongyi shook his head:

"This area is restricted by the magic circle, no matter which direction you can go out."

Yuan Jing came back to his senses at this time, he saw that Qin Dongyi had just used Qingyang Mountain's mind method, so he looked at the Lou Hua and asked one more question:

"Are you from Qingyang Mountain?"

"They are, but I am not." Lou Hua didn't know why this person didn't ask Qin Dongyi, he was a little impatient, but still answered with raised eyebrows.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jing slightly bent the corners of her lips, as if a little self-deprecating.

他 说:

"I thought after so many years, Qingyang Mountain finally gave in and was willing to treat demons and humans equally."

After all, he asked again:

"How many years have passed outside now?"

Lou Hua shrugged: "I haven't seen you, at least three hundred years ago. But you, Elder Yuan Jing, how did you get into this village? What happened afterwards?"

Yuan Jing nodded, and didn't care about the slightly frivolous attitude of the junior in front of him, and only seriously recalled:

"When Zhou disappeared, I searched for him for a long time. I traveled almost every corner of the world, but I still couldn't find him. Until one year, I met a leopard demon near here."

"The leopard demon asked me for help, saying that two strange people entered his hometown. After the two left, the whole village suddenly changed slightly, as if the same day was repeated every day, and he also I was trapped outside and couldn't get in. So he asked me to go into the village to help him check it out, and as you can see, I was fascinated by the magic circle, and I was trapped here for hundreds of years."

This is already the few times that Lou Hua has heard of Xu Yu from outsiders, and he asked along the way:

"That flowered blanket... is that leopard demon. Why is he wandering outside the village, did you ask?"

Yuan Jing nodded:

"I asked. He said that he was the only child in his family and lived with his mother since he was a child. But one day when he was 16 years old, he suddenly turned into a leopard and couldn't go back. He lived beside humans for more than ten years, so he naturally He thought he was a human being, but now something happened, he just thought he had some strange disease. Afraid of scaring his mother, he secretly left the village, but he was reluctant to go far, so he kept wandering outside the village."

"No one taught him how to use spiritual power, so he couldn't change back to human form, and could only live in the posture of a leopard."

"Oh?" Lou Hua narrowed his eyes and questioned:

"But when I saw him, he was clearly very strong, he could change freely, and he would use his natural ability to attack others."

Yuan Jing said calmly:

"I taught it."

Lou Hua felt novelty when he heard this:

"He's a demon. When you people from Qingyang Mountain meet a demon, don't you all want to get rid of it?"

Yuan Jing was not annoyed after hearing this, but only looked at Qin Dongyi:

"Monsters are good or bad, and people are the same. Doesn't the fairy beside you care about your identity and choose to protect you and walk with you?"

As a result, Lou Hua had nothing to say for a moment.

He snorted, as if feeling bored, walked to the side by himself, and picked up a bone from the ground to play with.

Yuan Jing looked at him and smiled, inexplicably, there was a bit of elder's love for junior in his eyes.

He looked at Qin Dongyi again:

"What are you doing here?"

Qin Dongyi saluted him and said:

"Come to find the ruins of Jincheng."

This is clear to Yuan Jing:

"I've also heard about Jincheng. I guess the magic circle in this village is used to seal the ruins of Jincheng. How do you break the formation? Do you have an idea?"

Lou Hua on the side heard him say this, and raised his voice:

"I saved you. If you want to break the formation, you can cut down all the peach trees in this village, right?"

This is also a way, but Yuan Jing was silent for a moment, but said:

"No."

Lou Hua: "Why?"

Yuan Jing: "According to what you said, you have also met that leopard demon. This means that he has been outside alone for hundreds of years. He presumably came here to protect his home, and maybe he wanted to see his mother again. At this time The time in the village was fixed on a certain day hundreds of years ago. If the peach tree was cut down, Xu Wang’s mother would be reduced to dead bones like the children in the school. Waiting for hundreds of years is only waiting for a handful of yellow sand , is this a little too cruel for him who has been guarding his mother outside for so long?"

Lou Hua didn't expect that Yuan Jing, who had been trapped in the illusion for so long, still had the mind to think about these things.

He raised his eyebrows and asked;

"Then what do you mean, he can't come in and I can't get out, so let this magic circle stay here forever?"

"I'll just go find the Leopard Demon. It stands to reason that I have broken free from the shackles of the magic circle, and I no longer belong to it. I can go out."

The tone of Yuan Jing's speech sounds very comfortable, making people not want to refuse:

"But before that, maybe I have to trouble everyone to stay here for half a day, can you?"
