The so-called "skilled woman is difficult to cook without rice", no matter how skilled the Jinwu doctor is, he can only do nothing when there is a shortage of medicinal materials. Although Xue Chang had already ordered people to go out to find the medicinal materials when they were in a hurry, it was extremely time-consuming to come and go, and after all, many people died before they could be cured.
Bai Li casually pounded the medicine in the clay pot, pounding the contents into a smash, or kept his hands. Jin Wu glanced at the pottery pot in his hand, and then looked at his face again. Seeing his ghostly appearance, he was a little surprised. He quickly grabbed the pot and asked with concern, "What's wrong? But why not? Comfortable?"
"Ah?" Bai Li recovered, shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine."
Jin Wu looked at him for a while, then frowned and said, "You are so pale, and you still say you're fine? Quickly stretch out your hand and I'll take a look for you."
Bai Li stretched out his hand indifferently: "If you don't believe me, I'm really fine. It's very sad to see so many people die."
"What's the pain? Life, old age, sickness and death are human nature." Jin Wu smiled gently, pinched his wrist, just felt his pulse, raised his brows suddenly, glanced at him quickly, and lowered his eyes again. I took his pulse carefully, this time it was really confirmed that his pulse was not human.
"Because birth, old age, sickness and death are just human nature, I feel uncomfortable..." Bai Li was unaware, and muttered to himself, "I feel uncomfortable when I think that Ah Qing will get sick one day. will grow old, will…”
Jin Wu pinched the pulse of his wrist, and quickly guessed his real body, feeling a little funny, let go of his hand and said: "You will also get sick, you will grow old, and one day you will..." Finally Deliberately imitating his protracted syllables and then stopped abruptly.
Bai Li snorted, unable to argue and didn't answer his words.
Jin Wu poured the medicinal herbs that he had smashed into the crock pot on the side, and then picked some again and put them into Bai Li's hands.
Bai Li took it subconsciously, with a gloomy expression, feeling that he was getting more and more greedy. Even if he could see Ah Qing in the past, he felt that his whole body was filled with warm spring water, and then he looked forward to staying by his side. , and then hoped that he could like him, and fell into the mud step by step.
After several reincarnations, he was finally able to stay with Ah Qing. He originally thought that he would be satisfied with this, but when he thought about the missed life in each life, he felt uneasy in his heart. Ah Qing will be buried in the ground when he is old. He is not afraid to wait, but he is afraid that he can't wait. What if he misses it every time like before
Bai Li's heart is in a mess, and the strength of the medicine in his hands is sometimes light and heavy, and there is no way.
Jin Wu looked at him and shook his head again and again. Seeing that there was no one around, he walked over and sat beside him with a sieve for picking up medicine: "If I guess correctly, you have a close relationship with Master You, right?"
As soon as Bai Li heard this, his low mood disappeared instantly, and he nodded with a smile, the sweet expression on his face could not be concealed.
Jin Wu only found it funny to see him like this, and sighed with emotion: "I have heard about the infatuation of the fox clan for a long time, but I didn't expect that I would really see such a person."
"Ah?!" Bai Li raised his head suddenly, stared at him with wide eyes, and looked stunned, "How, how did you know?"
Jin Wu pursed his lips and smiled, pointing to his wrist.
Bai Li lowered his head along his line of sight, stared at his wrist for a long time, suddenly bounced off the stool, almost knocked over the pot, stared at him for a while and said angrily, puffing out his cheeks: "Impossible, you can't get the pulse! I had typhoid fever last year, and the doctor came to see me, but I didn't see anything!"
"Normal doctors naturally can't see it." Jin Wu smiled, lowered his head and continued to pick up the medicine, "Others can't see it, it's not necessarily that I can't see it either."
Bai Li scratched his head in frustration and sat down again. After thinking for a while, he stared at him suspiciously: "No, the elders told me that when you transform into a human form, your pulse is no different from an ordinary person. How can you tell it?"
Jin Wu smiled and shook his head, but did not answer.
Bai Li stood up again and walked around him three times, frowning more and more tightly, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, "Oh", and pointed his finger at him: "I see! You are not an ordinary person!"
Jin Wu answered the question: "Does Master You know your identity?"
"Of course I do!" Bai Li nodded smugly, thinking that every time he lost control of his emotions and exposed his tail, he would be fondly stroked by Ah Qing, and his heart was sweet again.
"I'm really envious of others." Jin Wu sighed and said again, "Every life, old age, sickness, and death make feelings so precious. It's a blessing to only be together for decades. Why should you care? If you have been there for hundreds of thousands of years Together, it will inevitably be noisy and only hurt feelings."
Bai Li curled his lips in disapproval, obviously disapproving of what he said, thinking of the previous question again in his mind, and leaned over and said, "You haven't told me why you can see it, you must not be an ordinary person, right?"
Jin Wu smiled narrowly: "Of course I'm not an ordinary person, I'm a genius doctor."
"Of course I know you are a genius doctor!" Bai Li snorted, looked left and right on his face, and said tentatively, "You are also a demon?"
Jin Wu shook his head and smiled.
"Then you are a fairy?"
Jin Wu smiled and shook his head again.
Bai Li's eyes widened: "Aren't you a ghost?"
Jin Wu laughed and sighed: "You really can guess."
Bai Li stared at him unhappily: "You already know my secret, it's really unfair that I'm still guessing your identity here!"
Jin Wu looked helpless: "I'm a mortal."
"Don't believe it! You lied to me!"
"Look, you don't believe me when I say it." Jin Wu was not angry at all because of his curious questioning, and smiled, "I am a mortal, but I just lived longer than the average person."
Bai Li was stunned for a moment: "How long?"
"I don't remember..." Jin Wu's eyes showed a momentary emptiness, and he smiled lightly, "You don't die, who still remembers how old you are?"
Bai Li was stunned when he heard the words, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the knock made a buzzing sound in his head. He was so excited that he grabbed his sleeve and said, "What did you say? Immortal?"
Jin Wu nodded.
Bai Li's breathing was uncontrollable, he swallowed hard, and looked at him expectantly: "How did you do it? Is there an elixir of life?"
"The elixir of life is something from the heavens, how could I have it?" Jin Wu's peaceful eyes suddenly wavered, and after a while he spoke again, "Someone crossed out the name on the life and death book for me."
Bai Li was stunned and patted his forehead excitedly: "Why didn't I think of it? Stupid! Stupid!"
Seeing that he was about to rush out in an instant, Jin Wu hurriedly pulled him back with a serious look in his eyes: "What are you doing? Don't mess around."
Bai Li was so happy that his eyes narrowed into two slits: "I'm going to cross out A Qing's name too!"
Jin Wu shook his head and sighed: "I told you not to mess around, you are just a little fox demon. If you go to the underworld, then you have no return?"
Bai Li looked unconvinced: "What happened to the fox demon? You are a mortal who still looks down on the fox demon! Then who crossed your name? Why can't I go if he can go?"
Jinwu couldn't help laughing and crying: "Why do I look down on the fox demon, it's just a matter of fact. The person who crossed out the name for me is a god. He said that when he first entered the underworld, there would be a fog, and mortals couldn't enter. If the demon clan entered, they would definitely lose their minds. , will never come out again."
"You lied to me again!" Bai Li retorted with a rare retort, "If he is an immortal, why didn't he just give you an elixir of life?"
Embarrassment loomed in Jin Wu's expression: "He has a arrogant temperament, doesn't love to owe favors, the elixir of life is too good for Laojun, he is too lazy to ask for it, he said it would be better to write a stroke on the book of life and death. This is not a lie. You, you really can't go!"
Bai Li couldn't listen to his advice, and the perseverance in his eyes made people jump.
Jin Wu was extremely regretful that he had told the truth, and quickly said, "If you don't listen to my advice, I'll tell Lord You right now."
"Don't, don't!" Bai Li was anxious and stopped him with a bitter face, "Don't tell him, I'll listen to you."
Bai Li swears by pointing to the sky, he finally made Jin Wu believe his words, but when he turned around, he became happy by himself. After a little thought, he crept out of his arms, ready to get out of bed to cast spells and sneak away.
However, You Qing slept very alertly, and woke up as soon as his arms were empty, opened his eyes and said, "Ali, why did you get up?"
Bai Li was startled, and hurriedly burrowed into his arms again, mumbling, "I wanted to shush just now, but now I don't anymore."
You Qing smiled and hugged him tightly, and kissed him on the lips: "The weather is getting colder, so I have to put on some clothes at night."
Bai Li nodded obediently: "Oh!"
After such a restless sleep, I felt quite lost, but the next day I ran to Jinwu and said confidently: "Look! I didn't lie to you, did I? I did what I said!"
Jin Wu was amused by his slightly childish behavior, nodded and said, "That's the best."
Bai Li snorted secretly and tried this two or three times. Even if he moved lightly at night, he would still wake You Qing up, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
On the fourth day, Bai Li couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he threw himself into You Qing's arms and acted like a spoiled child: "Aqing, I haven't eaten chicken legs for a long time!"
You Qing squeezed his chin: "Now you know it's hard? I told you to go back, but you didn't listen."
Bai Li was in the middle of his arms, and he was overjoyed in his heart. For fear of being seen by him, he arched his head into his arms again: "I wouldn't be happy to let me live in the capital alone! However, it's okay to go back to relieve my cravings and come back..."
You Qing never expected that Bai Li would lie to him, so he had no doubts about what he said, and seeing that he was pitiful, he complied with his request: "Alright, go back and let Xiaohe make some delicious food, If you don't want people to find out, come back before dawn."
"Yeah!" Bai Li nodded with a smile, bit his lips and kissed him.
After rubbing his ears and temples for a while, Bai Li disappeared in front of You Qing upright and bright. Although You Qing believed what he said, he was not at ease after all, so he looked in the mirror with the help of spells, seeing that he had really returned to the mansion in the capital, and had been seeing the four elders coming out to greet him, and then he fell asleep with peace of mind.
The elders were shocked to see Bai Li: "Wang, why did you come back alone? Where's the husband?"
"Aqing is sleeping, I'll come back and eat some chicken drumsticks." As soon as Bai Li finished speaking, he saw Xiaohe smartly bringing a plate of drumsticks over to him. He patted his head admiringly, and took one and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely, "Actually, I came back to ask one thing."
The elders immediately listened attentively.
"If I go to the underworld, how can I escape the fog at the entrance?"
The elders were stunned for a moment: "The Psychedelic Forest? Wang is already a nine-tailed spirit fox, not an ordinary little demon. Why should he avoid the Psychedelic Forest?"
"Huh?" Bai Li looked surprised, "Then can I go?"
The elders heard something wrong: "King, what are you doing in the underworld?"
"I made a bet with others that if I can enter the psychedelic forest and come out successfully, he will give me 100 chicken legs!" Bai Li said, swiping his fingers, turning around and leaving.
The elders were even more puzzled: "Who did you bet with?"
Bai Li ignored it, dropped a bunch of doubtful foxes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
