Fire Captain

Bai Ziyang looked around and saw a dense jungle, which looked even more eerie under the moonlight. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tong, can we have some choice in where to land next time?"

system:"……"

Bai Ziyang said angrily: "When it comes to this time, just pretend to be dead."

Bai Ziyang had no choice but to randomly choose a direction to move forward and asked: "System, how old am I now?"

System: "Forever eighteen years old, dear..."

Bai Ziyang: "Get lost..."

System: "This command cannot be executed..."

Bai Ziyang: ...

Bai Ziyang tried to distinguish the road under his feet by the moonlight. He was bored anyway, so he asked: "System, what kind of world is this?"

System: "No plot characters encountered, unable to analyze..."

Bai Ziyang sneered, "It seems like you brought me here. Don't tell me you didn't check the location before locating it."

System: “It’s just a joke…”

Bai Ziyang asked: "Is it funny?"

System: "It's actually very simple. You will know it when you see the mission target."

Bai Ziyang asked: "Sister, where is the mission target?"

System: "It's three hundred meters in front of you!"

Bai Ziyang looked up in silence. The forest here was deep and dense. If the system hadn't reminded him, Bai Ziyang really wouldn't have noticed that there was a person standing in front of him, dressed in white. He couldn't help but say in a steady tone: "Female ghost? You know, humans and ghosts are different!"

The system got angry and said, "She is clearly a human being, how can you tell that she is a female ghost with your eyes?"

Bai Ziyang slowly approached and muttered, "Who else but a female ghost would come to this haunted place so late at night?"

Bai Ziyang walked behind the "female ghost", or should I say the girl, and found that she was concentrating on staring at a poisonous snake in the book, as if she wanted to lead the snake into the bamboo basket in front of her, and she didn't notice that there was anyone behind her.

Bai Ziyang patted the shoulder of the woman in front of him and said, "Girl..." Unexpectedly, he scared her and she subconsciously exclaimed.

Bai Ziyang didn't expect the girl to make such a big move and was startled. However, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the poisonous snake that was originally looking at her took the opportunity to leap forward and was about to bite her neck. He made a lightning-fast move and pinched the snake's vital point.

Bai Ziyang held up the venomous snake and said, "Don't be afraid, girl. But do you want this?"

The girl who was frightened by Bai Ziyang was still in shock. When she heard Bai Ziyang's words, she quickly nodded and said, "That's right! Thank you, sir!" Han Dieyi came to her senses and saw the young man next to her in a blue shirt, tall and graceful like a young man in his twenties, with a smile on his face, and an indescribable open and unrestrained air. He didn't look like a bad guy at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Ziyang said embarrassedly: "I should say sorry. I scared the girl just now. I am really sorry."

Han Dieyi held up the bamboo basket with one hand and tried to take the poisonous snake with the other hand. Bai Ziyang avoided her hand and said, "This snake is very poisonous. Let me do it!" He carefully put the poisonous snake into the bamboo basket and said, "My name is Bai Ziyang, may I ask your name?"

Han Dieyi said: "My surname is Han and my name is Dieyi. You can just call me Dieyi."

Bai Ziyang raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that he knew where he was. The system will settle the score with you later!

The system froze for unknown reasons, and I looked around: there was no virus!

Bai Ziyang asked, "I wonder why the girl appeared here so late at night?"

Han Dieyi said: "I am only here to collect herbs for my father. I just don't know why you are here?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Oh, I just missed my place to stay because I was in a hurry, so I was going to find a sturdy branch in the woods to rest. I didn't expect to see the girl alone, so I couldn't help but come to see her out of curiosity."

Seeing Han Dieyi about to leave, Bai Ziyang said, "Miss Dieyi's father is ill? I have some medical skills and can take a look at your father."

Thinking of his father, Han Dieyi felt much more desolate for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's useless. My father's illness has been treated by many doctors but none of them can be cured, unless we find a miracle doctor."

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "I don't know how good the divine doctor's medical skills are, but I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I have never seen a disease that cannot be cured. Hearing what Miss Dieyi said, I am even more curious."

Han Dieyi said, "My father is in the wooden house in front. You have nowhere else to stay anyway. If you don't mind its simplicity, you can stay here for one night."

Bai Ziyang waved his hand and said, "As a Jianghu person, you can take a break anywhere, so there is no such thing as disdain."

Bai Ziyang followed Han Dieyi to a wooden house, which seemed to be built by hunters in the forest for resting. It seemed that this was just a temporary place for the father and daughter. After entering the house with Han Dieyi, they saw an old man lying on the bed. He was indeed sick and had a weathered look.

Bai Ziyang lowered his voice and said, "This must be Uncle Han!"

Han Dieyi nodded and said, "It's my father." He took the teacup and said, "Mr. Bai, have a cup of tea!"

Bai Ziyang walked to the bedside and said, "Let me check uncle's pulse first!"

Just as he was about to touch Mr. Han's wrist, he saw Mr. Han, who seemed to be asleep on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, put his hand on Bai Ziyang's pulse, and asked sternly, "Who are you?"

Seeing this, Han Dieyi hurriedly said, "Dad, this Mr. Bai is here to help you with your medical treatment."

Bai Ziyang did not move either, still allowing Old Man Han to hold his pulse tightly with a smile on his face.

When Old Man Han heard what Han Dieyi said, he looked at Bai Ziyang with even more suspicion and sneered, "Treat me? Boy, even your master may not be able to help."

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "My master has gone to have tea with Lord Yan Wang. I'm afraid that Mr. Han won't be able to see him in the short term. Why don't you let Xiao Ke take a look at him? Maybe I can cure your disease."

Old Man Han snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, tell me the truth, what is your purpose for suddenly appearing here?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "People from the martial arts world follow the martial arts world. It's not strange for them to appear here. I don't think you two are strange either. Besides... is there anything you two can do that I should plot against?"

After he finished speaking, he felt a shock inside, and Old Man Han's mouth, which was originally tightly grasping Bai Ziyang's pulse gate, involuntarily loosened. Bai Ziyang smiled and moved his wrist, pretending not to notice that Old Man Han's palm was numb from the shock.

Bai Ziyang picked up old man Han's arm and gently took his pulse. Old man Han looked at him in surprise and doubt. Han Dieyi walked to Bai Ziyang unconsciously. Although he had no hope, his eyes were involuntarily fixed on Bai Ziyang's slender fingers.

Bai Ziyang pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Hiss... Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Cream?"

Mr. Han was surprised and asked, "You actually knew that?"

Bai Ziyang said with emotion: "I haven't seen it for many years..."

Han Dieyi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Bai, can you cure my father's poison?" He looked at him with hope in his eyes.

Bai Ziyang said, "This poison is made from seven poisonous insects and seven poisonous flowers. There are 7749 ways to prepare it. If the antidote is wrong, the victim will die immediately. So there is no antidote! Now I finally understand why Miss Dieyi wanted to catch the poisonous snake. Judging from the pulse, Mr. Han has been poisoned for 20 years. He must have survived until now because he used the method of fighting poison with poison."

Old Man Han said, "Good boy, you are the first person to know what poison I was poisoned with."

When Han Dieyi heard that Bai Ziyang was unable to interpret it either, she lowered her eyelids to hide the deep disappointment and sadness in her eyes.

Bai Ziyang looked at the sad Han Dieyi and couldn't help saying, "I can't detoxify now, but I can help relieve the pain of Uncle Han. At least he doesn't have to fight poison with poison anymore, causing himself unbearable pain. And I may be able to detoxify in the future. I need time..." After saying that, he looked at Uncle Han and sighed, "It's been a long time since I've seen anyone who was poisoned and still alive..."

Han Dieyi was surprised and asked, "Really?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and nodded. Han Dieyi turned to Old Man Han and said, "Dad, let's just listen to Master Bai. It's been a while, and Master Bai is the first person who dares to say that he can cure your poison."

Uncle Han nodded with an obscure look on his face and said, "Okay."

Han Dieyi said happily: "I am familiar with this area. If Mr. Bai needs any medicine, just tell me. I will collect it no matter how difficult it is."

Bai Ziyang said, "Don't worry about what medicine you need, just leave it to me. It's getting late, everyone should go to bed early."

Although one hour of meditation is enough for Bai Ziyang with his martial arts skills, he still likes to lie in bed and take a nap, even though it will take longer to recover his energy.

The next morning, Bai Ziyang was the first to open his eyes. Seeing Han Dieyi still sleeping, he quietly walked into the woods and leaned against a tree. To others, he seemed to be in deep thought, but in fact he was talking to the system.

Bai Ziyang said: "Brother Tong, let's come out and talk."

System: “ZZZZZZZZ…”

Bai Ziyang secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Wake up, wake up, I've never heard of a system that can sleep. Don't simulate the sound of sleeping for me, do you think I'm stupid?"

System: "This world is a low-level cultivation world that cannot be lower. Host, what do you have to worry about?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Since the cultivation world has appeared, it means that it is possible to enter the Tao through martial arts in this world. You probably don't want me to be chopped back to Star 2B and you to be remade."

System: "Don't worry, host. Only the protagonist can achieve enlightenment through martial arts. No one else can. They are limited by the laws of nature in this world."

Bai Ziyang said: "What about me?"

System: "If you can be bound by the laws of nature, we wouldn't be here. And since you can roll around in the world of cultivating gods and immortals, what is there to be afraid of?"

Bai Ziyang: "Get out of here. If I hadn't practiced before, I really couldn't survive here with you. Do you believe it?"

System: "Don't worry, dear..."

Bai Ziyang originally wanted to get some breakfast from the space, but he didn't know how to explain it to Han Dieyi and his daughter. He wanted to hunt some game, but he felt it was not good to eat something so greasy so early in the morning. He had no choice but to take out some sesame cakes. Well, he just pretended to carry some dry food in his arms before. He took a walk, picked some wild fruits and returned to the wooden house.
