Utterly Ignorant

Chapter 70: Fang Hu Travel Notes

Views:

Legend has it that Fanghu Island is wandering on the surface of the West Sea, and some people have tried their best to find it even in their entire lives; while some people are blessed with good fortune and just go out to sea once, and they accidentally stumble into the fairy island and gain endless luck.

Old Man Song spent more than half a month looking for Fang Hu and sent them to the island. Mu Lin had been on the boat for such a long time, and as soon as he stepped onto the island, he felt the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate.

It is indeed a good place to live. Compared with the fairy palace suspended in the air in Yingzhou Fairyland, this place is full of trees and lush grass, and the spring is in full swing, bright and melodious.

I hear the bell of the monastery from afar on the stream, and moor my boat on the narrow path through the deep pines. The clouds are still there after the clear sky, and the four or five peaks in the southeast are highlighted.

In the distance, the mountains are like ink and wash paintings, and the land at the foot of the mountain is flat and spacious. There are blue bricks and white tiles, and neat houses. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboos. The roads are connected, and the chickens and dogs can be heard. There are people working and planting, and the men and women are dressed like outsiders. The old and the young are all happy.

This place doesn't really look like a place where immortals and demons live together, but rather like a paradise that humans pursue in seclusion.

The young man in yellow rushed towards them like a whirlwind, grabbing the old immortal's sleeve and saying, "Grandpa Song! Grandpa Song! Please come with me quickly. Lord Qingyu's wife has been in labor for a day and a night, and she is waiting for you to save her life!"

"Let's go without further ado! Song Ze, you stay here with Miss Shen."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Seeing the anxious look on the yellow-shirted boy's face, Mu Lin asked curiously, "What happened?"

Song Ze was already used to communicating with Mu Lin by writing, so he simply wrote down the matter. Mu Lin glanced at it and said, "Let's go take a look too."

Song Ze was a little worried at first, but when he heard her say that, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He took her through twists and turns on the country road and soon arrived at a small house on the mountainside.

The children were all driven out of the door, looking around curiously. Mu Lin thought for a moment, put Xiao Xilan on the eaves of the door, and stuffed a fire spirit bead into her arms. Xiao Xilan was indeed attracted by the attention, and did not even make a fuss when Mu Lin left.

As soon as Song Ze entered the door, he heard the pregnant woman's screams, and Mu Lin smelled a strong smell of blood. Women were coming in and out, and copper basins stained with blood were brought out again and again. Mu Lin guessed that the situation in the house was not good. It was a pity that the Du Shen Dan was gone, otherwise he could help the pregnant woman.

At this time, Old Man Song came out with his hands behind his back. Song Ze went to meet him and saw him slowly shaking his head: "I can't save him..."

Soon, Qing Yujun with red eyes chased out, grabbed Old Man Song's shoulders tightly, and was so anxious that he almost knelt down to him.

The two of them were in a stalemate. At this time, Mu Lin walked up to them and said, "I am also a doctor. Do you have an acupuncture kit? I want to try..."

Mu Lin entered the delivery room with an acupuncture bag. The strong smell of blood almost made her vomit. She endured the discomfort in her stomach and checked the pregnant woman's condition. The pregnant woman looked extremely haggard, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she was in a semi-comatose state.

Mu Lin lifted the pregnant woman's eyelids and took her pulse. The pulse was extremely dangerous. The pregnant woman was bleeding heavily during delivery, and the most important thing now was to stop the bleeding. Mu Lin spread out the acupuncture bag, took out the appropriate moxibustion needle, attached a weak fairy power, and performed the acupuncture step by step according to the order and strength of the acupuncture in his memory.

Mu Lin wiped the sweat off her head, not daring to relax. She had only used acupuncture on the bronze man and Ming Yijian, and had only used acupuncture on herself, so she had almost no practical experience. Normally, she would never dare to use acupuncture, but in an emergency, she had to give it a try...

When the pregnant woman's bleeding stopped a little, Mu Lin took out a piece of spiritual ginseng and asked her to hold it in her mouth, and continued to transfer immortal power into her body. Mu Lin and the midwife encouraged the pregnant woman to give birth to the baby. The people outside the house waited from day to night, and finally heard a faint baby cry. Qing Yujun paused slightly, suspecting that he was hallucinating. Just as he was about to continue pacing anxiously, he heard the midwife's shouting from inside the door: "It's born! Mother and daughter are safe!"

Qing Yujun was stunned, and a wave of unreal ecstasy surged in his heart. Even the grandfather and grandson of the Song family who were guarding the door together breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the midwife came out holding the baby, her face full of joy, "Congratulations, it's a girl!"

Qing Yujun immediately stepped forward, took a look at the red swaddling clothes, and tried to enter the delivery room past the midwife, but was stopped by the midwife quickly.

"Miss Shen is stitching up Madam. She asked me to tell you that Madam is fine, but we can't go in and disturb her now..."

Qing Yu Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief and carefully took the child from the midwife's hands. The child was so small, quietly sleeping in the cradle. Qing Yu Jun, who had just become a father, suddenly felt incredibly soft in his heart.

When Mu Lin came out, Qing Yujun, who was eagerly waiting for her, thanked her profusely. She waved her hand, and Qing Yujun immediately went into the delivery room to visit his wife. Mu Lin finally breathed in some fresh air, pinched herself a cleansing spell, and then went to the door to find Xiao Xilan. Sure enough, she was still sitting there obediently... Mainly because she hadn't finished absorbing the Fire Spirit Pearl.

The master's mechanical bird had been lost for a long time and arrived at this moment. The light blue fat bird collapsed in Mu Lin's palm and turned into a piece of paper. There was only a simple sentence on it: Everything is fine, don't worry.

The corners of Mu Lin's lips curled up slightly, as if the warm spring light enveloped her body. Not long after, she began to blame her master for only sending her one sentence and not writing any more.

The outsider Miss Shen saved Qingyu Jun's wife Shen Ruyue, which became a local legend.

Mu Lin told others that she had failed to pass the calamity, and therefore lost her hearing, and came to Fanghu Island to live in seclusion. As the most powerful immortal on the island, it was not difficult for her to conceal her identity and strength.

Qingyu Jun and Old Man Song were both Daluo Jinxian, they could not see through Mu Lin's depth, and they never thought that Mu Lin was an immortal. Mu Lin then knew that Qingyu Jun was the Daluo Jinxian who married her apprentice, and Song Ze's deceased grandmother was a bamboo demon, so she always felt something was wrong when she saw Song Ze, it turned out that he had the blood of the demon clan flowing in his body.

Mu Lin didn't understand why the immortals on the island could ignore the secular world, so she decided to experience it here. With the help of the islanders, she built a bamboo house and settled down with Xiao Xilan.

In order to "make a living", Mu Lin picked up medical skills again at the suggestion of the grandfather and grandson of the Song family. He went up the mountain to collect herbs every morning, sat next to the bamboo house to see patients at 9 o'clock, and read medical books to study medicine when there were no patients.

At this time, Qing Yujun brought his family to thank Mu Lin for saving his life. Mu Lin looked carefully at the master and apprentice couple. The man was handsome and the woman was smart and gentle. When they looked at each other, there was affection in their eyes and eyebrows.

Mu Lin suddenly understood a little bit. It was because of the wrong identity that he met the right person. He was also glad that they were born in Fanghu, so they were not bound by worldly constraints.

In the end, Mu Lin took a few precious herbs from them as consultation fees. But this was obviously not enough to express Qing Yujun's gratitude. He sincerely told Mu Lin a secret, "In three years, the Qingyou Divine Relic Secret Realm at the southernmost tip of Fanghu Island will be opened. If Miss Shen is interested, she can go explore it then."

Mu Lin stroked the dragon cub in his arms, which had gained a lot of weight, and was very pleased with this secret.

Song Ze often came to her to help. Seeing that he was passionate about medicine, Mu Lin copied a few medical books from memory and gave them to him. She was always a little puzzled: "Besides Grandpa Song, why are there no other doctors on the island?"

So Song Ze told Mu Lin the whole story. The people on the island were almost all demons, fairies and their descendants. Their physical constitutions were obviously much better than those of mortals and they generally didn't get sick very often, so there were not many doctors on the island.

Mu Lin charged a very low consultation fee, and the nearby immortals liked to go to her for treatment. Gradually, the demons also went to her for treatment and to get some golden wound medicine. As she came into contact with more patients, Mu Lin gradually understood why she, an outsider doctor, was so popular.

Cultivating immortals is not omnipotent. Newborns and women always have more problems, and it is difficult to heal themselves by immortal power. There are also those who have difficult labor like Mrs. Shen. Without supernatural powers, they still have to rely on medical skills to save them in critical moments.

Mu Lin has a very good reputation on Fanghu Island. Every person they meet will greet her and call her "Doctor Shen" affectionately.

Mu Lin really liked the local customs and practices here. There were not so many etiquette rules, and it was full of simplicity and freedom. She took Xiao Xilan to the market, picked a cow and brought it back, raising it in the backyard to milk it every day.

The children here are happy to play with Xiao Xilan. They take her, like a dragon cub, to the mountains and the sea, climb trees to dig out bird nests, and go to the river to catch fish and shrimp... Mu Lin goes to catch her and bring her back for dinner almost every day.

Mrs. Shen came to visit every day and taught Mu Lin how to cook and make snacks. Mu Lin was very interested in learning, but his talent in this area was limited, and only milk cakes were delicious. When she was in a good mood, she would make some food, and when she was in a bad mood, she would directly feed Xiao Xilan with divine power or fire spirit beads.

Three years passed in a flash, and Xiao Xilan could already clearly call Mu Lin "Master". She was still in the form of a young dragon, and was already as tall as Mu Lin's knees.

"If your parents saw you like this..."

Xiao Xilan used magic to write words of protest: Master, you have nagged me more than ten times, and didn’t you draw a picture of me and put it in the letter to them

"It's different... Xilan, you are still too young, it's normal that you don't understand some things."

Xilan: But sooner or later I will understand, and I am already a Xuanxian. Master can't look down on me just because I am young~ Master, why don't you say anything! Master

Xilan pulled Mulin's sleeve, and seeing that she didn't react, she followed her gaze. The golden and red clouds in the south were bright and gorgeous, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Xilan had never seen such a beautiful scenery in her three years on the island, and she couldn't help but stare at it in a trance. Mu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, she sensed a special divine power fluctuation in the south, and of course she knew what it was - the Qingyou Divine Heritage Secret Realm was about to be opened.

Mu Lin suddenly said, "Master is going to a dangerous and mysterious place. Will you go with me or wait for me at home?"

Xilan nodded without hesitation: Of course I will fight alongside Master!
