Li Zhongyi looked at the Langzhong with bated breath, with longing, in silent prayer, hoping to bring a turnaround in his father's life.
The bone-setter sighed, "I have heard that there are two kinds of immortal grasses that can cure all diseases. One is called Xia Yun Grass, the leaves are like colorful clouds shining with light, it is full of heavenly Yang Qi. The other is called Jade Flower, the stems, leaves and flowers are all colorful, like precious stones with luster, it condenses the yin qi of the underground. These two medicinal herbs together, yin and yang harmony, complement each other, the medicinal effect of the great is not limited. The two set the breath of heaven and earth, the essence of the universe, its medicinal power is incomparable, not only can greatly replenish the vital energy, but also eradicate all evil poisonous and stubborn diseases, naturally, it can cure your father's condition."
When Li Zhongyi heard this, he was a bit deflated, "It's just two kinds of herbs, how could it be that amazing ah."
"What, do you still have doubts?" The Bone-setter looked at him, a little disgruntled.
Zhongyi hurriedly explained, "No, no, my father has been practicing medicine for many years and has never heard of such a miraculous medicine, so he is a bit confused, please don't be offended."
"The medicines that your father and son have seen are nothing more than some ordinary flowers, plants, trees, and the like, and of course you would not have heard of this kind of medicine. That is the immortal grass, not ordinary medicinal herbs can be compared, the strength of the medicine, far beyond your imagination. No matter how heavy the patient is, after taking this medicine, it can harmonize yin and yang, remove the disease and strengthen the body, and even more serious stubborn diseases will be cured and recovered."
Li Zhongyi remained puzzled, not believing that there could be such a miraculous drug.
The Bone-setter ignored it and continued, "In addition, there is something even more amazing, and you'll be even more incredulous when you say it. These two herbs are paired together, and they can also bring the dead back to life, do you believe it?"
Li Zhongyi was very surprised and astonished, "This ...... how can this be possible ah, how can a person die and come back to life, indeed unbelievable!"
"Whether you believe it or not, it's the truth." The Bone-setter said, "If you can get these two magical herbs, you can surely cure your father's illness."
Li Zhongyi half-believed what the Langzhong said, and was very happy to have this information in a time of despair. Regardless, the Langzhong's words still brought hope to the Li family, which was eagerly awaited.
Zhongyi pleaded, "Doctor, I don't know where to go to pick up these two kinds of herbs, I hope to be informed."
"These are two rare immortal herbs that are very hard to find and can only be encountered by going to deep mountains and old forests. However, these two kinds of immortal grasses will not be easily obtained, and even if one is fortunate enough to meet them, there are still many risks. Perhaps, the location of the immortal grass will have raptors and vicious beasts, and even encountered monsters, extremely dangerous, how the consequences are difficult to predict. This is a matter of life and death, you must think carefully."
Li Zhongyi secretly clenched his fists and said firmly, "Fear not, in order to save father, I will definitely go in search of these two kinds of immortal herbs."
"Are you really going?"
"My mind is made up."
"This can be life threatening."
"Fear not, if I can't find these two kinds of immortal herbs, I'd rather drink my heart out and go underground to accompany my father."
The traveling doctor nodded and revealed an approving smile, "Child, it's really rare for you to have such filial piety! As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way, you might be able to succeed."
The Bone-setter looked at the patient, lying dazed and motionless, and sighed in disbelief.
He took out a small medicine bottle and said, "I'll give this medicine to your father to take, and it will keep him safe for three days. If three days pass and you can't pick the immortal grass, he will pass away."
The groomsman put a few drops in the dying father's mouth and a few more in the mother's.
With some emotion, he said, "Well, well, there goes the old man, good or bad, it's about filial piety."
The Bone-setter stopped paying attention to the Li family and left the house while talking.
"Doctor, you haven't been paid for your consultation yet!" Li Zhongyi hurriedly took the silver and chased it outside.
He made his rounds, the groom was nowhere to be seen, and shook his head so he had to go back.
Zhongyi entered the house and froze for a moment, then revealed a look of surprise.
It turned out that my mother, who was paralyzed in bed, had gotten off the floor and was able to walk around freely.
He ran over and took his mother's hand, saying excitedly, "Mother, it's only a matter of time before your old man gets well, it's really a miraculous doctor!"
He looked at his father, although he was unconscious, his breath was much smoother. He was very excited and strengthened his determination to find the immortal grass to save his father. The family was also very grateful to the bone-setter.
Time waits for no one, Li Zhongyi has to go into the mountains immediately to collect medicine.
His mother and sister were so worried that they wouldn't let him go; there was no hope of saving the old man, and he couldn't take the Li family's only son.
Zhongyi's mind was made up, determined to give up his life to save his father, packed up his traveling clothes, took the necessary things out of the house.
Li Zhongyi into the mountains, all the way to find, over the mountains, climbing cliffs, crossing the river, the danger is constantly. Clothes scratched, hands and feet bruised, he did not flinch, continue to find, gradually into the deep forest.
Here, the mountains are high and steep, the terrain is treacherous, the ancient trees are thick and dense, and the silence is both eerie and terrifying.
Zhongyi looked around, a little timid, and couldn't help but punch himself in the face.
He frowned, let out a lament, and blamed himself, "Coward, what are you afraid of ah, in order to save father, even if one dies, it is also to fulfill the last filial piety as a son."
Li Zhongyi was no longer afraid and continued to search. Inspired by the heart to save his father, he became much bolder and stronger, and was able to control his emotions.
It was getting dark, and Zhongyi had a hard time not finding the fairy grass with both hands empty.
He ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and drank enough water from the stream to find a place to spend the night. The cries of wild beasts coming from time to time from the mountains and forests were terrifying, and he looked to his left and climbed a tall tree.
"Swoop--" an eagle took to the air.
Li Zhongyi was startled and immediately looked for a dense branch to sit down, and then used a rope to tie himself to the tree, lest he fall down after sleeping.
He settled down and thought of his sick father, worried, "Alas, these two kinds of immortal grasses are really hard to find, causing anxiety. This is the last hope, I don't know if I can get my wish, so that father's condition can be cured as soon as possible."
At the thought, he shed tears and was whimpering sadly.
"Chug, chug, chug ......" a wolf ran past.
Li Zhongyi was surprised again, tears could not be wiped, quietly looked down, fearful heart panicked.
"Thump! Bam! Thump ......" A black bear ran over to him. It rubbed against the trunk of the tree, bumping it and causing it to tremble slightly.
Li Zhongyi scared, scared to hold the trunk of the tree for fear of falling, more afraid of the guy who wants to climb up, to take his life. Fortunately, the black bear did not find him, relieve the itch on the body and then left.
These were not the most frightening. One spotted tiger came to the tree and stopped walking, probably smelling the human odor, and raised its head to look at it uncontrollably.
The tiger found Li Zhongyi, looked very excited, a little impatient. It looked like it wanted to climb up and "get close" to Zhongyi, but it didn't have the ability to do so, so it roared anxiously.
In the darkness of the night, in the silence of the deep mountains, the screams were really horrible, and Li Zhongyi shivered in his body.
The tiger looked at it for a while, saw that the delicious food was out of reach, and the drooling could no longer be retrieved, so he licked his mouth a few times and walked away helplessly.
Li Zhongyi took a long breath of relief, and his hanging heart was released.
The sky was full of stars that kept twinkling, the mountains were eerily silent and mysterious, the sky and the earth were dark and indistinguishable from each other, and there was only the ghostly, unsettling color of the night.
During the night, Li Zhongyi had been so restless that he didn't know when he had fallen asleep. When he woke up with a start, the sun was already high.
Zhongyi rubbed his eyes and yawned, then untied the binding rope and took a closer look under the tree, it was quiet and there were no wild beasts before he climbed down with peace of mind. He ate the dry food he had brought, drank a few mouthfuls of stream water, and started hiking again in search of Xia Yun Grass and Jade Flower.
Two days passed, Li Zhongyi looking around, never see the two kinds of immortal grass, both anxious and tired, clothes have been wet with sweat.
He wiped his sweat and looked at the westward sun, very anxious, time waits for no one, the time left is very limited, can he still find the immortal grass to rescue dad?
If he couldn't find the Xia Yun Grass and Jade Flower today, his father's life would be in jeopardy. He sighed and grasped for the precious immortal herbs.
Suddenly, the sound of a milky song rang out from a short distance away, adding a sense of peace to the restless mountains.
Li Zhongyi is very surprised, deep mountains and deserted forests, how there are people ah, sounds like a child. He accelerated his pace over to watch, there is a little boy singing and playing.
When he was in a state of disbelief, Li Zhongyi saw the child fall and rushed over to help him up.
"There are potholes here, why don't you be more careful." Zhongyi said as he checked and saw that the child's leg was touched and immediately disposed of.
Li Zhongyi since childhood to follow his father to study, already know the art of medicine, find to stop bleeding and anti-inflammatory herbs mashed in the wound, and from their own clothes to tear a cloth bandage.
He comforted, "Little brother, it's okay to have this little injury, it will heal soon."
"Big brother, you're so nice, thank you!"
Li Zhongyi asked strangely, "Little brother, you are so small, how do you dare to play alone in the mountains? Aren't you afraid? Where are your parents?"
The child laughed and said, "I'm not afraid, I play here all the time."
"Yeah, well, you've got a lot of nerve, so I'll take you home."
"No, I haven't had enough fun yet."
Li Zhongyi was a bit emotional, "Alas, there are wild beasts infesting this place, but you're having so much fun, you're better than me." Then, he casually asked, "Little brother, when you play here, have you seen the Xia Yun Grass and Jade Flower?"
"I've seen it, there are still man-eating demons there. They're especially fierce and scary, no one dares to go there."
Li Zhongyi was deeply surprised, very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly inquired, "Where did you see it?"
"Forgotten." Seeing his disappointment, the child smiled and said, "Big brother, if you're not afraid of demons, I guarantee you'll find the Xia Yun Grass and the Jade Flower."
"Alas, it's hard, I've been searching for more than two days and I'm still empty-handed." Saying that, he shook his head helplessly, remembering his sick father, shedding tears again.
Suddenly, the child screamed as he pointed forward.
