Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 186 The Dog In The Cloud-Lying Village

Although the contents of the two skulls were combined with the new elixir prescription, it was still incomplete. Even so, Ning Tao's heart was still full of expectations, and he couldn't wait to make a new incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir. The one he remained was given to Bai Sheng, and he had no more. To re-enter the magic and mystery reaction of drug allergies, he needed a new incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir.

“Brother Ning, are you hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?” Qing Zhui asked.

Ning Tao replied, “No, I'm not hungry. I have to go back to the clinic and go to Shennongjia. I asked Jian Mi to pick some herbs for me. I wanted to see if he had any.”

“It's late today. Can't you go tomorrow?” Qing Zhui obviously didn't want Ning Tao to leave.

Ning Tao said, “I need spiritual materials to make the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. I'll stay in Shennongjia for a day or two. Be careful these two days. You can go out and do something good. I'll give you my bank card and pa.s.sword. Don't care how much money you spend on charity.”

Qing Zhui wanted to go to Shennongjia with him, but she had no courage when she thought of the terrible experience of entering the Sky Clinic.

“Well, then, I'll stay at home and go out to do something good.” Qing Zhui agreed.

A demon was born to do harm, but she was going to do good. This was probably a different way of cultivation.

Ning Tao gave Qing Zhui his bank card and pa.s.sword, as well as a few more instructions, before he left the rental house for the Sky Clinic. He took his medicine collection tools and some money, then opened the door to the Cloud-lying Village and went in.

Two seconds later Ning Tao could see clearly around him. He was at the foot of a cliff near the Cloud-lying Village. He wanted to open the blood lock left in Jian Mi's room, but he was afraid that Jian Mi would see it and be frightened. The blood lock left in Jian Mi's room was the spare lock, and he'd better not open casually.

Then he entered the Cloud-lying Village. The village was quiet. Not a house was lighted.

A hound rushed out of a farmhouse yard, but instead of barking, it wagged its tail at Ning Tao.

Ning Tao was a little curious and said to himself, “Does it because Chen Pingdao bit me? Is he really a dog? If so, he is… a demon?”

But he soon dismissed the conjecture with a wry smile. Chen Pingdao had left a message telling him he was a pract.i.tioner who had lived for more than 2,000 years. Since he was a pract.i.tioner, he was not a demon. More important evidence was that Chen Pingdao was also a natural go-between of good and evil, the previous owner of the Sky Clinic. He was a go-between of good and evil, not a dog.

Ning Tao reached out and patted the hound's head, smiled and said, “You're so good, next time I'll bring you some dog food. You must have never eaten one in your life.”

“Woof!” The hound barked twice at Ning Tao, softly, as if to show that it understood what Ning Tao was saying and said “thank you.”

Ning Tao walked on, the hound following him.

Ning Tao waved and said, “Go back and look at your yard.”

“Woof!” The hound barked at Ning Tao again and went back.

Ning Tao took a few steps and felt something was wrong. He glanced back at the back of the hound, filled with wonder and curiosity. “My G.o.d, can it really understand me? It's not scientific, is it…”

He was puzzling to think of the Heavenly Hound tripod with a bulging belly in the Sky Clinic, which he didn't know its use. Maybe he should try the tripod on a dog to see if it was really a tripod of an alchemy, or a dog bowl.

Jian Mi's house was dark as others.

Ning Tao woke up the looking and smelling of his eyes and nose, and then saw the innate aura released from the crack of the door, one belonging to Jian Mi's mother, Aunt Jiang, and the other belonging to Jian Mi. To his surprise, he also smelled some precious medicinal herbs, which was from Jian Mi's room.

Ning Tao went to Jian Mi's room and knocked.

A few seconds later, Jian Mi's voice came from the room. “Who is it?”

Ning Tao replied, “It's me, Ning Tao.”

Learning that it was Ning Tao, Jian Mi immediately got up and opened the door for Ning Tao before he could put on his shoes.

When Jian Mi turned on the light, Ning Tao saw a large amount of herbs piled up in the corner, which were needed to make the Primary Elixir. Then he noticed that Jian Mi had a number of cuts on his face and arms, apparently from thorns when he picked up herbs.

“Does it still hurt? I'll take care of it, or you'll get scars.” said Ning Tao, concerned.

Jian Mi gave a simple smile. “Brother Ning, this little injury doesn't matter. There's nothing to have scars. It's good for a man to have some scars on his body. A man who is too white and clear will look like a woman.”

Ning Tao laughed at what he said. “Well, it's up to you. I'll leave you a bottle of delicate perfumed cream. Apply it to your wound. It's okay to have scars on your body, but if your face is damaged, it's hard to find a partner.”

After a few words of conversation, Ning Tao took out a bottle of delicate perfumed cream from the small medicine chest and gave it to Jian Mi.

The door of the next room opened suddenly. Aunt Jiang came out of the door, looking a little confused. “Jian Mi, who's here?”

“Mom, it's Brother Ning,” Jian Mi replied.

Ning Tao said politely, “Aunt Jiang, h.e.l.lo. Sorry to disturb your sleep.”

“Oh, don't be so polite. You saved my son. Are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of poached eggs.” Aunt Jiang then went to the kitchen and really wanted to poach eggs for Ning Tao.

Ning Tao hurriedly called to her. “Aunt Jiang, don't worry about me. I've had dinner. I'm not hungry.”

Aunt Jiang is a cheerful person. She smiled and said, “Since you are not hungry, I will not cook for you. By the way, how did you get here?”

Ning Tao answered, “A friend dropped me off. I'm here to get the herbs, and I'm going to collect some on my own.”

“And where's your friend? Why don't you invite him?” Aunt Jiang looked at the direction of the village's entrance.

Ning Tao said, “He's gone, don't worry about him. Aunt Jiang, go back to your room and rest. I'll have a few words with Jian Mi before I go into the mountains.”

“You're going into the mountains at night? It's dangerous. Let Jian Mi go with you. He knows the environment here,” suggested Aunt Jiang.

Ning Tao was a little hesitant.

Jian Mi said, “Brother Ning, let me go with you. Dr. Ma and her colleagues are here again. They've camped in the mountains. I'll show you to them.”

“All right, you come into the mountain with me and take me to see Dr. Ma,” Ning Tao said.

Did the quiet archaeology doctor, Ma Tongtong, borrow that book? He thought of it. Because the clinic moved, and then he encountered a series of events, he almost forgot the “Feminine-moon civilization”. Now he remembered these things.

Was it true that there was a lost Feminine-moon civilization in the vast primeval forest, just like the Mayan civilization of America? His curiosity never abated. What was more, he suspected that the cloudy ore that the Feminine-moon people own was actually a kind of spiritual material, and that the Feminine-moon civilization was likely to be cultivating civilization. However, since he had never seen the cloudy ore, this speculation could only be a fantasy.

Jian Mi went in and put on his clothes and shoes, and took a rope and a basket. Before he could say he was ready to go, Ning Tao took out several bundles of money from the small medicine chest and handed them to Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang was surprised and said, “Doctor Ning, what are you doing?”

Ning Tao smiled and said, “Aunt Jiang, this is for Jian Mi's medicine collection. You keep it for his future marriage.”

“No, no, it's too much. How can we take money from you when we haven't even thanked you for saving his life? Take it back, take it back.” Aunt Jiang tried to slip the money back to Ning Tao.

Ning Tao took two steps back and said, “Aunt Jiang, this is different. If you don't take the money, I won't come again.”

“This…” Aunt Jiang did not know what to do.

“Aunt Jiang, I also want to invest in this place and let the villagers help me pick and grow herbs. If you don't even take my money, how can I invest it? Don't refuse. Take it. Look at Jian Mi, he got hurt all over because of collecting medicine. He deserves it.”

Aunt Jiang sighed and said, “I'll take it.” She then looked at Jian Mi and said, “You silly boy, you must be done something really good in the other lives so that you meet Doctor Ning. Listen to Doctor Ning. Remember that.”

Jian Mi smiled and said, “Got it. Whatever Brother Ning says, I will listen.”

Saying goodbye to Aunt Jiang, Ning Tao followed Jian Mi to leave the village.

In the night, the cold moon enveloped the old temple. The door of the small temple was open, and the stone statue of Shennong could be seen standing on the shrine. Without the allergic reaction to the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, Ning Tao couldn't see the woman in red, but he had a clear picture of her standing in the temple door in his mind.

“Who are you?”

Ning Tao asked silently.

Out of the village, Jian Mi took Ning Tao down a mountain path into the primeval forest. There was no road much farther, but there were traces of someone in the forest.

“Jian Mi, ask the folks in your village if they want to grow herbs. If they want, I can give them a deposit and let them plant it.” Ning Tao started the conversation.

“Okay, Brother Ning. You're such a nice guy, the folks would love to grow herbs for you,” Jian Mi said.

“Next time I'll bring some presents for the folks.”

“That's very kind of you…”

They talked as they walked.

An hour later they came to the entrance to a valley. A few makes.h.i.+ft tents were visible in the distance, with a bonfire burning in the middle of the camp. Someone was sitting by the fire, but Ning Tao couldn't see who it was because he was some distance away.

“That's the archaeologists' camp.” Jian Mi pointed to the camp and said to Ning Tao.

“Let's go near them,” said Ning Tao.
