Chapter 22: The Snake That Obtains the Way Exorcises the Spirit of the Blue Bean

  Arriving at the funeral home, Qin Feng allocated the Huang, garlic and iris according to the ratio of 1:2:1 as told by his grandfather, grinding the medicine into more than twenty portions, then quickly rushed to the hospital to help Fang Yu and others get rid of the Gu.

  "What is this?" Lying on the hospital bed, looking at Qin Feng with a weak and listless expression, Fang Yu finally waited for the lifesaving grass.

  "This is a medicine that can detoxify the Golden Silkworm's poison." He took out a small packet from a plastic bag and handed it to Fang Yu, then said: "Take this orally."

  "Oral? What's the taste of this medicine?" As soon as Fang Yu smelled the pungent medicine, he scrunched up his face in distaste. It was unbearable to take this herbal medicine, which was a mix of the bitter and pungent flavors of realgar and calamus, combined with the strong smell of garlic. Just as Fang Yu was complaining, He Miao snatched the medicine from his hand and poured it into his mouth. With a gulp of water, it went down his throat, and Qin Feng finally felt at ease.

  Looking at Fang Yu's gloomy face, Qin Feng asked: "How are you feeling?"

  "Gulp, gulp, gulp", Fang Yu drank three large cups of water in one breath and panted heavily, saying: "Damn it, you little brat actually made me eat some strange stuff. If you want to know how it feels, try it yourself."

  Qin Feng smiled and continued to ask, "Don't you believe me? Your illness is almost cured now. Just trust me." "Is this medicine really effective?" At this time, He Miao, who was sitting aside, turned her gaze towards Qin Feng, who was full of confidence.

  "Don't worry, of course. The Golden Silkworm poison in Fang Yu's body isn't very deep, so these few medicines can detoxify it."

  At this time, Fang Yu began to react and said: "Qin Feng, it seems that your method is really effective. The pain in my stomach has decreased." It seems that the medicine has started to take effect. Qin Feng told them that as long as they persisted in taking the Golden Silkworm Powder for three days, they would be able to completely eliminate the poison. At this time, Qin Feng seemed to remember something and said to Fang Yu: "The paper man is still in your archaeological workshop. After a while, I will help you burn it, so that it won't harm anyone else."

  "Did you burn them?" Fang Yu's reaction was as if he had just recovered from an illness, looking like it was a pity about those paper people. This wasn't surprising, after all, he was an archaeologist. But on the other hand, the paper people couldn't be left unburned now, the lingering loneliness might still harm others. It's better to have fewer troubles than more, you can't use the name of archaeology to harm people's lives. So, thinking about this, Qin Feng decided to take drastic measures once and for all.

  But then Fang Yu mentioned Professor Xie again: "Qin Feng, you'd better ask Professor Xie about it. He's so particular about this kind of thing, I'm sure he won't allow it."

  "Ah..." Qin Feng didn't know how to respond to Fang Yu, although he knew they were reluctant to part with it, but the truth was that the paper man couldn't stay outside any longer. The only solution was to burn it, to eliminate future troubles.

  Farewell to Fang Yu, Qin Feng immediately returned to school and came to the archaeological workshop on Fang Yu's side. In order to guard against the paper man, Qin Feng did not deal with it directly, but instead bought a set of rubber industrial protective clothing from outside to drag the paper man to the woods behind the school, burned it into ashes, and thus also relieved his own unease, burning away the golden silkworm poison.

  Before he knew it, it was already late afternoon. Qin Feng had finally finished all the things he needed to do and was looking forward to having a good meal at a restaurant he had found with great difficulty. Just as he sat down, Lin Ruochen called him, apparently Little Chen had woken up.

  "Qin Feng, where are you?" Lin Ruochen asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.

  "Am I outside? Is Little Chen awake?"

  "She's awake now, come quickly, she says she saw a ghost."

  "Ghost?" Qin Feng was skeptical.

  "Right, I'm not very clear either, you come over quickly."

  "Okay, I'll go right away."

  He hastily ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then reluctantly headed to Lin Ruochen's house. When he arrived at the second floor, before even opening the door, Qin Feng heard loud shouting coming from inside: "Really, Little Lin, you have to believe me!" "Alright, Little Chen, I believe you, okay?" "But, seeing is believing, none of you have seen it, and I have no way to make you believe me. After a few days when my illness gets better, I will definitely take some photos for you to see. It really exists in this world!" The tone was still somewhat astonishing.

  As soon as the door was pushed open, a refreshing breeze blew in through the window opposite, cooling and calming the noisy and uneasy atmosphere in the room. Qin Feng looked at Xiao Chen's face, which still showed a lingering look of shock, and his curiosity surged up, asking: "What did you see?"

  "It's a snake, a very long and thick snake!" For a moment, Xiao Chen turned his gaze to Qin Feng, staring at him with wide eyes, as if conveying his own personal experience.

  At this time, before Qin Feng could speak up, Xiao Wang said: "Impossible, do you think we're in the tropical rainforest of Africa? There's no way such a thing exists here." It seems that Xiao Wang didn't believe what Xiao Chen said about encountering a huge snake.

  However, Qin Feng was curious and wanted to know about Xiao Chen's encounter, so he immediately asked: "Xiao Chen, tell me how you ran into him."

  "This is what happened, on Friday when I was supposed to go back to my hometown in Dongtou Village to visit my parents, but because my electric bike suddenly ran out of power halfway, so I rode it back. However, when I passed by the road under Zhenyao Mountain, I suddenly heard a strange whooshing sound." After pausing for a moment, Little Chen continued, "At that time, it was already dusk, and the sky was grayish-red. I'm quite brave, so I stopped to investigate, but I didn't expect that when I got closer, I was completely scared by what I saw."

  "It's a snake, a very thick and long snake, I saw it eating a chicken." Little Chen said this with a tone of great surprise.

  "Snake? What does the snake look like?" Qin Feng asked eagerly, not waiting for Xiao Chen to finish. He had heard his grandfather talk about some strange and mysterious things related to animals cultivating Qi before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. If the big snake that Xiao Chen encountered really did attain the Dao, it would definitely pose a threat to the local area.

  After thinking for a while, Xiaochen continued: "The snake was very long and looked as thick as a bowl when coiled up. It was already evening at that time, so I didn't get a good look at its exact appearance. Besides, I didn't have time to take a closer look before it scared me off. Since then, I've been staying home with an icy body, until now.

  She clutched her arms tightly around her, the beige shirt was grasped tightly by Little Chen, and she still looked like she had a shadow, the fear in her heart still impacting her. In fact, not only Little Chen, but also Lin Ruochen and Little Wang, after hearing this, although they were skeptical, they all shivered at the same time, looking at each other in confusion. However, Qin Feng suddenly came to life, his curiosity surging as he wanted to see that snake as soon as possible.

  "So you're saying that Dongtou Village is under the Mountain of Suppressing Demons, then that big snake must be on the Mountain of Suppressing Demons?" Qin Feng asked back at Little Chen.

  Xiao Chen shook his head and replied that he didn't know. However, Qin Feng guessed that the snake was probably a creature from Town Demon Mountain, as it was common for creatures to cultivate and practice their skills in places with abundant spiritual energy, and mountains were usually the first choice. Following this reasoning, it was possible that the snake was indeed on Town Demon Mountain southwest of his school, and who knows, he might even be able to see the snake someday.

  As expected, the opportunity has finally come.
