Chapter 23 Mu Ling

"Look, that's the one!"

The woman in green said, pointing to a tree at the end of the mountain road ahead.

Xue Song and the others looked in the voice.

"well?"

The two walked under the tree and looked up at the cherry tree that had not even been emitted.

"What, isn't this completely unopened?"

Seeing the bare cherry trees in front of you, the woman in green standing on the side also felt very strange.

"What's wrong? What a pity."

But she didn't stay there for a long time. She said goodbye to Xue Song and continued walking forward. She also had to go to the doctor's house.

...

Xue Song and the others continued to set off. Since they had not seen the famous cherry blossoms in full bloom, they were ready to continue to go to the village mentioned in the commission.

Turning around the intersection,

There is a house standing, and the courtyard is full of cherry blossom trees.

A woman in green could be heard from a distance talking to a man.

After hearing the man invites a woman in green to stay for a night,

Xue Song and the others turned around and left.

"Yingu, look!"

Xue Song looked at a tree in front of him and made a sound unconsciously. He sensed the existence of spirit from the ancient tree covered with moss in front of him.

This cherry tree looks very old, and there is a relatively large tree hole in the middle of the tree, and there are some pink foamy objects inside.

"That's..." Yin Gu Xunsheng looked,

"Cough cough cough..." Suddenly, a woman's cough broke Xue Song and his two thoughts.

"No, I didn't feel that someone existed!" Xue Song thought to himself,

He turned his head and saw the woman leaning against the tree, and in his perception, the woman seemed to be integrated with the ancient tree.

That was a glorious and heart-pounding beautiful woman.

The long black hair was scattered casually,

Clear and bright pupils,

Curved willow eyebrows,

The long eyelashes were trembling slightly,

The fair and flawless skin reveals a faint red pink.

Thin lips are as delicate as rose petals.

"Hello..."

Yin Gu greeted him but the woman did not respond to the two.

Xue Song and the others looked at each other, but they felt something was wrong but couldn't say it.

Yin Gu thought of the foamy object he just saw, and couldn't help but think of a possibility.

Just as he was about to make a conversation and test it out, Xue Song stopped him. Xue Song noticed that the man who had just talked to the woman in green was approaching.

"A naive face, what's wrong with Zobao?"

"No, it's nothing, I'm just a little curious when I pass by. Is there any place to stay nearby?" Xue Song asked at the person coming.

"There are some abandoned houses in front of you, you can go and have a look..."

Xue Song and the others continued to walk forward.

What the man didn't see was a black vine falling from Xue Song's body to the ground, and swam into the grass and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"That is an insect called 'Mu Ling'. Can the trees in which the wood spirit live longer than their kind and bloom more beautiful flowers? But once they enter the animal's body, they will numb one of their five senses. Long-term contact will make people lose their five senses..."

Yin Gu said slowly while smoking a cigarette, he suspected that the woman just now had eaten the foam that oozed out of the tree and turned into that appearance.

"What did you stop me just now?" Yin Gu asked Xue Song again.

"You will know it at night, and be careful, that man just now is probably not a good person."

Xue Song replied, he already knew where the wrong feeling he had just developed came from.

The close contact just now made Xue Song find out that the woman's body had begun to rot. I'm afraid she is no longer a normal living person.

But he had already released the Pian Ge,

Xue Song could sense any movement that man had.

Yin Gu heard Xue Song's warning and also realized that things were not good.

Walking to a place far from the man's hut, the two stopped.

Xue Song found a flat place, put down the suitcase behind him, and Yin Gu also sat down after searching for the ground.

"He just stared at us behind the door for a long time, and he came out as soon as we touched that woman. I'm afraid there was something wrong with it."

Xue Song took out the wine pot and took a sip, and said to Yin Gu.

"However, I left the surveillance of the man, and we will go there again, otherwise he will not tell the truth."

When they walked to the old tree, Xue Song felt a strong gaze coming from the hut.

When the man saw that the two were about to have some contact with the woman, he hurried out to interrupt.

Even if Yin Gu asked just now, he probably won’t get any truth.

Now that the two of them have left the neighborhood, they have dispelled the man's concerns and he should take certain actions.

"Um."

Yin Gu nodded, took out his cigarette and started smoking.

...

It's late at night,

The light of the moon was completely obscured by dark clouds.

"Pu...pu..."

Footsteps sounded,

A black shadow quickly approached the ancient tree,

He took out a pot-shaped object and reached into the tree hole to collect pink foam objects.

It was the man during the day. After collecting the wood spirits, he walked into the house.

He fed the collected wood spirit to Zuobao, the glorious woman,

After drinking Mu Ling, the woman's coughing decreased and her frown also loosened.

Then, he poured another cup of hot tea and poured some medicine powder into it.

He walked towards the room of the woman in blue who came to ask for medicine during the day.

The young woman woken up by the sound of footsteps found the man standing outside with a lantern.

"Can you disturb me?" the man asked.

The young woman opened the door,

“The medicine is ready,

But I want you to drink a little too.

Occasionally some people have poor physiques for this medicine.

If your daughter is okay after drinking, it should be fine.”

The man placed the hot tea he had just prepared in front of the young woman.

"Oh, me?" the young woman pointed at herself and asked.

The man nodded.

The young woman who had taken the medicine quickly fell asleep. The man picked up the woman and came to Zobao's room.

Putting the woman next to Zuobao, the man's expression became firmer.

"Sorry, that was just a sweat pill just now." Looking at the young woman who had fallen asleep, the man stood up.

Zuo Bao, who was lying on the other side, opened his eyes again and coughed, and Mu Ling's effect on her became less and less.

"Don't worry, you can still survive." The man looked at the beautiful woman lovingly.
