941 Giving Herb (4)
The Daoist priest casually picked up a willow branch and walked forward like a child, humming an unknown tune.
The Daoist priest walked for a long time. Afraid of angering him, Luo Tan did not dare to complain, and Shen Miao did not say anything. She did not know what time it was, but she felt that the sky was gradually getting dark. When the sun almost set, the Daoist priest suddenly stopped and said, “We’re here.”
Luo Tan and Shen Miao both took two steps forward and saw a huge valley in front of them. The flowers and plants filled the valley, blooming densely. Painted by the afterglow, this place looked like a paradise on earth.
“This place is so beautiful!” Luo Tan exclaimed.
Daoist Priest Chi Yan looked at Shen Miao. “Madam, did you notice anything?”
Shen Miao only smelt a faint medicinal fragrance in the air. Looking at the flowers and plants everywhere, she hesitated for a moment and said, “Are they herbs?”
Daoist Priest Chi Yan laughed. “That’s right. Although I can’t save your husband or change his fate, my shifu has a herb valley. There’s a herb inside that can remove all poisons, but this herb can save your husband’s life.”
Shen Miao did not tell Daoist Priest Chi Yan about Xie Jingxing’s injuries, but Daoist Priest Chi Yan immediately pointed out that Xie Jingxing was poisoned. Luo Tan looked at the strange Daoist priest in admiration. Shen Miao had long expected this strange Daoist priest to be capable, so she was not surprised.
She said, “Daoist priest, please give me the herb that can save my husband.”
Chi Yan smiled. “This herb was left behind by my shifu. It’s been kept in this herb valley for a long time. There’s only one in the world. If ordinary people eat it, they will live for a long time. If people who are poisoned eat it, they will naturally be cured… This herb is so precious. How can I give it to you for nothing?”
Luo Tan said, “If you want gold and silver, my little cousin can afford it.”
Shen Miao also said, “As long as it’s within my ability, I can give you anything.”
“What if I want you to exchange your life for it?” Chi Yan said cunningly.
Shen Miao was stunned. Before she could speak, Luo Tan shouted, “You’re too much. How can you do that?”
Chi Yan waved his hand. “I’m a Daoist priest, so I naturally won’t do such a thing. I’m just joking. I have a question to ask you.” He looked at Shen Miao, who was stunned for a moment. “Madam, can you enlighten me?”
Only then did Shen Miao come back to her senses. She was extremely surprised. The moment Chi Yan asked her if she was willing to exchange her life for it, a thought flashed across her mind. She was willing.
But how was that possible? She still had Shen Qiu, Shen Xin, and Luo Xueyan to protect, but now, she was willing to die for Xie Jingxing. Shen Miao suddenly felt a little afraid.
If she invested too much in love, she would be hurt more in the future. Everything in her previous life was a living example. She could try to love again, but she did not dare to and could not take the risk.
“Little cousin?” Luo Tan shook her arm.
Shen Miao composed herself and looked at the Daoist priest. “Daoist priest, please go ahead.”
“Look.” The Daoist priest squatted down and pointed at a small flower in the grass. “This is the Red Sleeve Flower. It’s a spirit herb that can treat respiratory diseases. However, it hasn’t bloomed much these days. Madam, what do you think is the reason?”
