143 Means
In the next moment, a pair of clear black eyes looked up and met his. The corners of her lips curled up as she said indifferently, “I saved it.”
Chu You grabbed the reins hard and was about to say, “I’ll reward you,” when Gu Yanfei said first, “The deer doesn’t belong to Your Highness.”
Gu Yanfei stood up leisurely and patted the deer butt again.
Only then did the female deer react and run. Its legs were light, and when it leaped, it seemed to want to fly. It easily passed through a patch of bushes and was gone in two or three moves.
Only the mountain wind was still howling through the surrounding trees. The pools of blood on the ground and the blood-stained gray feather silently reminded everyone what had just happened.
The smell of blood lingered in everyone’s noses.
“This is Your Highness’s.” Gu Yanfei chuckled and threw the gray arrow in her hand towards Chu You…
How dare she! A cold smile appeared on Chu You’s lips. He raised his hand to catch the gray arrow that was shooting at him with ease.
The sticky touch of deer blood made him frown in discomfort. When he looked at Gu Yanfei again, his eyes became sharper and deeper, as if he wanted to see through her appearance and see through all her thoughts and secrets.
“It’s alive, Yanfei. It’s alive!” Wei Jiaoniang looked in the direction the female deer had left and smiled happily. She took out another handkerchief and handed it to Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei took the handkerchief from Wei Jiaoniang and casually wiped the deer blood from her hand with a casual expression.
Clap, clap, clap.
Baili Yin clapped gently, applauding the magical scene just now.
There were many beauties in the Jiangnan area. In the State of Yue, he had seen many beautiful women.
Gu Yanfei was very beautiful and had an ethereal aura.
Therefore, he was attracted to her at first glance.
The first time he was stunned, it was purely because of her beauty, but now it was more than that.
The charm of this girl was rare, and she was beautiful but thorny.
She was the only one he had seen in his life who had such extraordinary abilities.
Baili Yin narrowed his wolf-like eyes. His gaze was as hot as if he had seen his prey.
After confirming that the female deer had gone far, Gu Yanfei casually patted Wei Jiaoniang’s shoulder and said, “Jiaoniang, let’s go.”
Wei Jiaoniang followed without saying a word.
The two of them got back on their horses and rode on without any intention of bidding farewell.
“Yanfei.” Wei Jiaoniang pointed ahead excitedly and said, “I remember that there should be a mountain spring ahead. There might be prey lingering around the water source. I’m guessing that Lu Qin and the others will most likely go that way.”
“Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to hunt some prey!”
Gu Yanfei smiled and said, “Okay.”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked away. The sound of hooves faded into the forest.
Baili Yin stared straight at Gu Yanfei’s back, and the corners of his mouth curled up higher and higher. With a hint of casualness, he said, “Kang Wang, what’s there to fuss about with a beauty? A thorny beauty is like strong wine. It burns one’s throat, but it’s strong and lingering.”
Chu You did not think much of it, but he did not refute the other party.
Baili Yin continued, “Was that a talisman she drew with deer blood just now?”
Baili Yin had long heard that Taoist doctors were prevalent in the State of Jin and were respected. However, before today, he had never cared about these divine things and thought that these Taoists were just swindlers.
The people of the State of Jin were stupid enough to be superstitious. It was no wonder that the country had declined over the years.
Only now did he know that the methods of a Taoist doctor were even more magical than the rumors!
“That’s right.” Chu You retracted his gaze. When he looked at Baili Yin again, his expression returned to normal. “Taoist doctors are best at talismans, abstaining, signing, incantation, and sacrificial…”
He explained patiently.
Chu You did not believe in Taoist doctors.
Just as Rong’er had said, there were no ghosts or gods in this world at all. Those Taoist priests and shamans saving people with talisman water and witchcraft were just playing a trick to fool people. It was like throwing their hands into a hot oil pot and shattering rocks with their chests.
That’s right. Gu Yanfei must have done something strange just now, but she hid it better than others.
For an ignorant, incompetent, vulgar, and rude country girl to be able to openly become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Household, squeeze into Rong’er’s position, and even coax Chu Yi to take a fancy to her, she naturally had some methods that ordinary people did not have.
“Interesting, really interesting.” Baili Yin laughed. It was unknown if he was talking about Gu Yanfei or a Taoist doctor.
The mountain wind grew stronger, and the whistling sound blew away the laughter…
Not only Baili Yin, but Wei Jiaoniang was also very curious about the “Taoist doctor”. After confirming that Chu You and Baili Yin could not be seen behind her, she pestered Gu Yanfei and asked, “Yanfei, tell me quickly. How did you do it?”
Without needing Gu Yanfei to pull the reins, Hongyu stopped himself. Gu Yanfei’s little face tilted, and she said with a smile, “Give me your hand.”
Wei Jiaoniang quickly stopped her horse and impatiently handed her left hand to Gu Yanfei, looking at her without blinking.
Gu Yanfei held her left hand with one hand and gently drew a talisman on the little girl’s soft and delicate palm with the other.
She drew the simplest talisman with only three or four strokes.
“This is the most basic Disease Removal Talisman.” Gu Yanfei slowly drew it again. She looked at her face and asked, “Have you memorized the drawing method?”
There were also many types of Disease Removal Talismans. The one Gu Yanfei had taught Wei Jiaoniang was most suitable for beginners.
“Yes!” Wei Jiaoniang suddenly felt that her left hand had become precious. She carefully held her precious left hand with her right hand and nodded.
Gu Yanfei reminded her again, “This talisman can’t be drawn wrongly. It has to be completed in a coherent manner and be completely correct before it works.”
This Disease Removal Talisman was an entry-level talisman of their sect. When drawing talismans, there was no need to rely on spiritual energy. Although the effect of the talisman was minimal, it was better than that of ordinary mortals who could draw and use it.
In the past, there was a plague in the mortal town protected by the sect. Countless people fell ill and were on the verge of death. Her master asked her to go down the mountain and spread the Disease Removal Talisman to a few medical centers in town.
