Chapter 448 Blood Spirit Mushroom
Old Man Lu blushed as his daughter spoke to him.
"Girls shouldn't talk nonsense all day long. Dad just wants medicine that can make his face look younger."
I understand, I understand.
Men have pride.
Older men care more about their reputation.
hey-hey……
Old Man Lu sighed helplessly and earnestly instructed, "When you have time, make some nourishing food for your mother. Don't be fooled by her seemingly fine appearance; her health has been deteriorating for a long time. She was arrested while she was sick, and then she spent ten years here struggling to make ends meet. If she doesn't take good care of herself, she probably won't live much longer..."
Her hands and feet were terribly cold... and she couldn't warm them up even at midnight..."
Lu Qingqing's expression turned serious.
"Was Mother taken away?"
Didn't he fake his death?
"When we returned to Ming'an County, we were seen by the people of the Holy Physician Sect. Your mother had no choice but to fake her death in order to leave Liuyun Village. Who would have thought that she would be caught up and brought back to the Holy Physician Sect soon after she left?"
She was so glad she left quickly, that the people from the Holy Healer Sect hadn't discovered the four of them...
Old Man Lu rubbed his face.
"I understand, Father. Mother will be alright. I will take good care of her."
...
At this time, there was a cliff bottom where many corpses had fallen.
Shan Yueming bid farewell to the vulture.
There will be no more corpses left here, so there will be no more food that vultures like.
She once loathed this ugly and ferocious eagle.
It feeds on humans, is filthy and sinister, like a demon living in hell.
Later, she had to endure the nausea and approach it, regarding it as her only hope of escaping this hell.
Even as she tied strips of cloth to its body, she basely hoped that some hunter would shoot the eagle so that he would hear her cries for help.
As her hopes were dashed day by day, she finally understood.
The eagle is not dirty or filthy at all; it is people who are dirty.
It didn't kill people; it just ate the flesh of the dead, which was no different from people eating grain.
It is even very devout when it comes to food; if it wants to eat, it will eat every last bit. Half of the credit goes to the fact that the bottom of the cliff has not become a stinking graveyard.
Sometimes, she even thought it was a messenger sent to purify this corrupt world.
The vulture stood on a high rock, looking at the bright moon over the mountain, as if it knew that the time for parting had come.
It should have left long ago.
No bodies have been dumped here for several months now, because the Holy Healer Sect has been wiped out.
Its mission is complete.
Perhaps it also feels a little reluctant to leave this place.
The mountain moon waved its hand in the bright morning.
"Let's go, to where you're supposed to be!"
The vulture spread its wings and flew away.
Lu Yun shivered and went over to put his arm around Shan Yueming's thin shoulder.
"Mother, it feels a bit chilly here, let's hurry up and leave."
"Wait, let's find another medicine."
"What medicine are you looking for? The medicine that grows here... would you dare to eat it?"
It has a sinister air about it!
"Your mother survived ten years ago thanks to this medicine!"
Shan Yueming used a stick to pry open the crevices in the rocks.
He said, "Everything in the world can be used as medicine, but this kind of medicine is grown by being watered with human blood over many years, in a dark and damp environment, mixed with all sorts of drug residues. I call it Blood Lingzhi."
What I ate back then grew from a human breastbone...
Later I searched for a lot more, but I used them all to save people. I even gave the last one to the prince. Otherwise, do you think it was that easy to survive? We are all blessed by heaven.
"They must have been great benefactors in their past lives..."
Shan Yueming glanced at Lu Yun, who hadn't uttered a sound for a long time, and saw that his eyes were wide open, as if he had been greatly frightened.
He couldn't help but scoff.
"You brat, you haven't improved at all over the years. If it were Qingqing, you wouldn't be so scared. What's wrong with eating blood spirit mushrooms? When you're about to die, you'd eat shit and pee if you were given to you!"
"No, Mother, oh dear, hurry and find it, hurry and find it!" Lu Yun said urgently, grabbing a stick and starting to search.
Shan Yueming rolled his eyes, not in a hurry.
This was her last chance to try her luck; since she buried the remains, no more Blood Spirit Mushrooms had grown.
The last time I found a few flowers was two or three years ago.
The Blood Spirit Mushroom lives by attaching itself to bones and blood. Even though she knew that it could grow back if she didn't deal with the bones, she still couldn't go against her conscience.
She always felt that these blood-red Ganoderma lucidum saved her and her disciples' lives because those wronged souls made an exchange with them.
They could exchange their grievances for justice, or at least have them laid to rest.
Shan Yueming was powerless to redress their grievances, but he could at least ensure they were laid to rest in peace.
One should not be too greedy. Blood Ganoderma is not like other medicinal herbs that can be cultivated. If you can get it, then get it; if you can't get it, then don't force it.
"You're so easily startled, like a duck whose tail has been stepped on. You're married now, how can you still be so immature? Learn from your sister..."
Shan Yueming leisurely lectured his son.
This kid used to be the naughtiest, and she loved to scold him.
Unlike the eldest son, who is obedient and doesn't need to be disciplined.
"Mother! To tell you the truth, my elder brother isn't in the army camp right now; he's sick and needs this medicine!"
"What?" Shan Yueming exclaimed in shock.
"How dare you keep this from me!"
"Mother, be calm, be calm... Ouch!"
Before Lu Yun could explain, he was slapped on the back of the head.
It was Old Man Lu who came and hit him.
"If you dare make your mother angry, I'll slap you!"
Lu Yun covered his head, too lazy to pay attention to his agitated father.
His position at home... is very familiar.
He excitedly shouted towards Lu Qingqing as she approached, "Blood Spirit Mushroom! Blood Bone Core! Girl, it really exists!"
Where?
"Mother, Mother, quickly tell my little sister."
"It's gone." Shan Yueming's voice sounded somewhat dejected.
"The last one was used for Yanzhi. If I had known, I would have used it more sparingly..."
Even so, Shan Yue knew that it couldn't be saved. Even if a few people who used the Blood Spirit Mushroom couldn't be saved, it couldn't be said to be a waste. No one knows the fate of a person before saving them.
Lu Qingqing's biggest question was how Shan Yueming managed to avoid infection while performing surgery to repair internal organs under such conditions.
Now I know, the key is actually this Blood Spirit Mushroom?
Oh, this thing really exists!
"Don't rush, keep looking," Ji Ruyan called out gently.
Ask your subordinates to help with the search.
“The wind is strong on the cliff, and the bodies that were thrown down are scattered everywhere. If there aren’t any here, there might be some on the other side of the cliff. Take a rope and climb over there to take a look.”
“That’s right! There must be more.” Lu Qingqing firmly believed it too.
As long as the environment here is suitable for growth, there will inevitably be some that slip through the net.
