Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 57 Pharmacist (Part )

The constant pain did not make Gu Jingnian numb, but only made him feel like he was in hell.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt the old tree shaking.

The branches wrapped around him moved as if struggling angrily.

Faintly, from somewhere, an old and slow voice was roaring.

"Who's burning me?! Who's burning me?!"

Outside the tree hole, the feathered man Luoxia shouted, "Master, Pei Nian set the fire!"

Gu Jingnian knew that the great pharmacist was about to open the tree hole, so he endured the pain and stared at him, wanting to see how he would control this ancient tree.

But the great pharmacist did not move and continued to wait quietly.

The tree hole was opened and it was as bright as day outside.

The fire was in the treetops above.

When Pei Nian pounced on the winged man, his purpose was not to fight with him, but to find an opportunity to step on the winged man's back and leap onto the high branches of the ancient tree.

When the living branches rushed towards her, she had already taken out a tinder and set fire to the dry branches and leaves of autumn.

The fire broke out.

The old tree, having awakened from its slumber, began to shake in fear of the fire.

Finally, the ancient tree came back to life and stood up.

The earth was overturned, and huge roots broke out of the ground, like its legs, moving towards the distant river.

Its movements were clumsy and slow, but each step was huge, knocking down trees one after another, and as the treetops caught fire, its shaking frequency became more and more intense.

The tree hole was also shaking, and even the pharmacist was entangled by a branch around his waist, barely avoiding falling down.

Finally, the old tree ran to a river.

It couldn't wait to sink its roots into the moist soil by the river, and the towering trunk slowly fell down, crashing into the river with fire.

There was a loud bang in the tree hole, and the table fell to the ground, followed by all kinds of bottles and jars falling out.

A branch wrapped around the Great Pharmacist and slowly carried him out. Luoxia fluttered her wings and descended from the sky to protect him.

"Whoo-"

Finally, the treetops crashed into the river, and a cloud of smoke rose up.

But the fire was still burning, and the smoke in the tree hole was choking.

Gu Jingnian could feel the branches that bound him gradually becoming weaker. He struggled hard for a few times, and the branches pierced into his internal organs, causing severe pain. However, the ancient tree did not bind him tighter, but instead reduced its strength.

The healing wounds began to grow new flesh and skin, some of which even wrapped around the branches, but were torn apart again as he struggled.

Enduring all this, he hoped to pull himself out bit by bit, but found that it was futile.

Finally, he was exhausted and lowered his head. He was too weak to even open his eyes. He could only stroke the branch that trapped him with his fingers, feeling the familiar touch of the bark.

Some distant things came to my mind.

In Chongjing Academy, the library, an old man who was unknown how many years old handed over a wooden sign.

"Do you recognize...Tree Master...?" Gu Jingnian murmured in an unclear voice.

"Tree Man."

Faintly, that low, old voice sounded, carrying a hint of sadness.

Gu Jingnian felt the branch on his body loosen, and he fell to the ground. His injuries became more painful and he almost fainted.

Then, the yellow tiger also smashed down.

After a short rest, Gu Jingnian's throat injury slightly recovered, and he murmured, "Climb out."

The old tree had completely fallen down, with the opening of the tree hole facing the ground, and only a small gap through which the light of the fire shone.

The fire was still spreading, but the old tree was unable to turn over.

Huang Hu opened his eyes dazedly and murmured, "Young Master, go first."

He mustered up his remaining strength and pushed Gu Jingnian's foot.

Gu Jingnian gritted his teeth, crawled forward, and stuck his head out of the gap.

He saw that the fire had reached the tree trunk, and the terrifying burning sensation hit him in the face.

Then he saw a pair of feet slowly falling in front of him.

The feet were not big but rather delicate. She wore a pair of white flat embroidered shoes and blue silk trouser legs above the ankles. What was rare was that in such a dirty environment, the white shoes were still very clean, without even a speck of mud on the soles.

A foot stepped on Gu Jingnian's head.

It was the winged man Luoxia.

"How dare you escape? Prepare to die!"

As Luoxia spoke, she swung the sword in her hand straight towards Gu Jingnian's neck.

Finally, a clear shout was heard in the forest. Although the voice was anxious, it was still pleasant to the ears, like the sound of flowing springs or the singing of orioles.

"Don't kill him! I'm already here!"

Yingyao actually came.

Luoxia swung the sword in her hand down, and only retracted it at the last moment, placing it on Gu Jingnian's neck.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a hint of calculated smile, and said: "Come out!"

Ying Yao shouted, "Don't kill her, I'm coming out now!"

In the moonlight, a thin figure peeked out from the treetops more than ten steps away.

Luoxia stabbed Gu Jingnian to the ground with a sword, then flew towards Ying Yao and reached out to catch him.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke came out and sprayed directly on Luoxia's face.

She flapped her wings quickly a few times, but still fell to the ground.

The thin figure quickly rushed towards Gu Jingnian, and when it got closer, people could see clearly that under the red makeup was the face of Master Ma Choupi.

Master Ma was also holding an ancient bronze mirror in his hand.

As he ran, he shouted at the bronze mirror, "Little ancestor, don't come out, I'm saving him now." But the voice came from far away, which was probably the effect of the bronze mirror.

"it is good."

Yingyao was also speaking, but her voice had changed.

Master Ma ran to Gu Jingnian, pulled out the sword that was stuck in his body, and said, "Have you recovered? Let's go..."

suddenly.

Someone in the distance shouted another crucial sentence.

"Got it!"

As soon as these words came out, a large net covered Master Ma, and the winged man who was originally unconscious on the ground suddenly flew up.

At the same time, men in black jumped down from the treetops in the distance and surrounded this side.

The great pharmacist came over under the protection of the men in black, looked in the direction where the words "caught" were heard, waved his hand, and ordered his men to go over.

After that, he slowly ordered, "Put out the fire."

Finally, a water dragon rose from the river and sprayed towards the burning fire.

Everything seemed in order.

"Finally caught it."

The great pharmacist looked up at the falling clouds flying towards him, a smile spread across his face, and he said, "Go and see for yourself..."

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow shot out.

Luoxia was about to fly towards the place where Yingyao was captured, but the arrow had already pierced her lower abdomen, and the huge force caused her to fall a long distance.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Arrows shot out from the darkness. There were not many arrows, but the terrifying thing was that each one was extremely accurate and powerful.

Those men of the night were extremely agile, but no matter how swiftly they dodged or blocked with their swords, the arrows still mercilessly pierced through their bodies.

"stop?!"

The great pharmacist shouted angrily, "Wei Chen, what are you doing?! Stop it!"

The next moment, he suddenly closed his mouth.

Because he saw a figure that he was not expecting.

There were endless screams, and archers emerged from the darkness, holding bows and slowly moving forward. Dozens of people moved in an orderly manner, as if they were one person. They were murderous, but there was a terrifying momentum that could not be defeated. This was the momentum of the brave and resolute soldiers who had fought many battles.

Behind them, a graceful woman pushed a wheelchair, as if she was taking a walk in the woods.

"Gu Jizu?"

The great pharmacist recognized the other person and smiled contemptuously, but there was shock in his eyes.

He turned to the old tree, pointed at Gu Jizu, and kept shouting, "Kill him! Kill him!"

Gu Jingnian was lying on the ground, listening to the familiar sound of arrows breaking through the air, knowing that it was Gu Jizu's personal guards arriving.

He had anticipated that as long as there was hope that Gu Jizu's legs could be healed, this eldest brother would pursue it at all costs.

This is his back-up plan.

On that rainy night, Ying Yao hugged him and pressed her body against his heart. He patted her in his sleep and said a few words to her.

"You shouldn't have come here. It's very dangerous here. Gu Jizu will eat you. But if we are in danger, we can also use him to protect us..."

This is why Gu Jingnian has complicated feelings towards the Gu family.

Sometimes, he was indeed protected by the Gu family.

In the sight, the burnt old tree slowly stood up, and its branches swept towards the archers of the Xiaoyi Army.

At this time, Gu Jizu spoke.

"Qian Suibai, is that you? For the sake of the tree elder, I won't burn you, but if you dare to help the tyrant again, I will show no mercy."

The old tree retracted its branches, uttered a dull sigh, and awkwardly extended its roots, knocking down several trees with a loud bang, before disappearing into the woods.

Gu Jingnian and others recovered some strength, struggled to stand up, and looked at the great pharmacist.

The great pharmacist tried to call back the ancient tree but failed, so he had to command the men in black to resist with a sullen face; in the sky, the seriously injured winged man flapped his wings twice and flew away, but no more aliens appeared; finally, all the men in black around the great pharmacist fell down, leaving him standing there alone, muttering to himself.

A hint of doubt flashed across Gu Jingnian's eyes. He stood up with difficulty and staggered over there. In the end, he was exhausted and fell to the ground. He only vaguely heard the great pharmacist say, "It shouldn't be like this."

He always felt that something was wrong, but he was too tired and finally closed his eyes...

"Keep alive!"

Gu Jizu ordered, his seemingly calm tone filled with irrepressible excitement.

He had obviously found out that this mysterious pharmacist was the one who had the ability to cure his leg disease. Tonight, he used his brothers as bait to lure the man out and would not let him escape.

Moreover, the person who took the snake's heart has been found, and the hope of recovery is right in sight.

Thinking of this, Gu Jizu's eyes were still sharp, but his hands on the blanket began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Push me over."

"Sir, I'm afraid there's danger..."

"Push me over."

Miao Chunniang had no choice but to push the wheelchair.

The wheelchair passed by Gu Jingnian. She looked down and quickly looked away.

Gu Jizu only stared at the great pharmacist.

As the distance got closer, his eyes became more and more lively, sweeping away the decadence of the past.

He looked at the pharmacist, weighed his words, and said slowly and politely: "Don't be afraid, sir. Just treat me as a patient."

"I know you, Gu Jizu." The great pharmacist calmed down, stroked his beard and said, "If you want, we can..."

Before he could finish his words, black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His eyes widened, and in an instant, all the life in his eyes disappeared, and he fell to the ground and died.
