Chapter 58: Theft from the Medicine Storehouse

Si He slept in a daze and had many dreams. The one that impressed her the most was that she turned into a corpse with a particularly terrifying appearance, just like that old man Jiang.

A dead face with white face and black lips, black ghost hands with long pointed nails, the only difference is a pair of blood-red eyes.

In the dream, she was sealed in a coffin by those immortal disciples. Her body was covered with yellow talismans, and many long nails were nailed on the coffin for suppression. Some mysterious runes were also drawn in blood on the coffin lid, as if she had become a powerful evil corpse.

Finally, the dream changed again. The person who imprisoned her turned into Old Man Jiang. He buried her deep in an underground cave and turned her into a carrier for cultivating spiritual essences, just like what she had seen in Tianshan before. After thousands of years, he would dig out the spiritual essences in her body!

The cave was pitch black. There were many horrific looking zombies around her. Her ears were filled with the endless roars of the zombies. Endless despair and fear overwhelmed her.

Finally, she was awakened by the fright.

She breathed deeply, her chest heaving. Even though she opened her eyes and woke up, she was still immersed in the nightmare and hadn't recovered.

"What's wrong?" Ning Ji hurried over to check on her. "Did you have a nightmare?"

When Si He heard his voice, she came to her senses and looked at him. The next moment, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Ning Ji froze for a moment. After a long moment, he raised his hand and gently patted her back, reassuring her in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

She snuggled in his arms, slowly calming herself down, and it took her a while to recover.

And he was still patting her back, coaxing her in a low voice like a child.

She didn't want to cry at first, but for some reason her nose felt sore and her eyes gradually became moist.

"Cousin~" As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was obviously crying and her nasal tone was very heavy.

"Yeah." He responded, looking down, and saw that her eyes were full of tears.

She said: "I dreamed that I became a zombie..."

He stroked her head gently, wiped the tears from her eyes, and said, "It's just a dream. Dreams are always the opposite."

She took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes.

He was right, dreams are always the opposite of what they actually are, she will be fine.

She comforted herself in her heart, and when she looked away, she noticed that the surrounding environment had changed. She was no longer in a tomb, but in an empty cave.

She looked sideways and saw that the cave seemed to be halfway up the mountain. There was a bed, a bathtub, and a big pot boiling water in the cave.

He said, "This is the back mountain of Taiyi Sect. It's relatively safe. The water will be boiling soon. You should take a medicinal bath first."

"Okay." After she sat up, she suddenly felt that her body was still very weak, much worse than yesterday. She guessed that her physical condition was not good again.

If he hadn't supported her, she would have probably fallen down.

She simply sat down against him, looking at the scenery outside the cave with a tired look. All she could see was lush forests. The sun was shining brightly, and it was probably almost noon.

He asked her, "Are you hungry?"

She shook her head, feeling puzzled. She hadn't eaten anything last night, but she still wasn't hungry at all.

He reached out and felt her pulse. After a while, he went to get the boiled medicine and fed it to her.

This time the medicine tasted harder than before. She had to hold it in to avoid vomiting it out. After drinking it, she felt dizzy.

She wanted to speak, but the effect of the medicine gradually came on. She closed her eyes, feeling unusually tight, and only felt him gently patting her back, as if to coax her, saying: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while..."

His voice was gentle and soothing, which gradually made her relax.

She leaned in his arms, holding his clothes with one hand, as if this would make her feel more at ease.

After a while, she finally fell asleep in drowsiness.

Ning Ji checked her pulse again to see how she was doing, then carried her to the tub, gave her a medicinal bath, and gave her acupuncture.

Fortunately, after changing the prescription, her condition stabilized and did not worsen.

At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, she looked like a dead person, her eyes were red as blood, and her body temperature was low. Although she was not as ugly as Old Man Jiang, she would definitely be shocked if she saw it herself.

But Ning Ji looked at her the same way as before, without any change. When he carried her to sleep on the blanket, he still kissed her forehead gently, and then closed his eyes to rest.

Momo lay in the shade at the entrance of the cave, occasionally looking inside the cave and occasionally looking outside, like a loyal little guard.

Compared to the calmness here, there is chaos outside.

Taiyi Zong.

In the main hall, the headmaster and a group of elders had ashen faces and were filled with anger.

Several disciples were kneeling in the hall, each of them was terrified, panicked, and angry at the same time.

Because Taiyi Sect was robbed last night, not only were all the precious medicinal materials in the medicine storehouse taken away, but even the medicine fields were damaged, causing heavy losses. The disciples who were guarding the sect were all drugged and unconscious for the whole night. They were only discovered when they changed shifts in the early morning.

"Investigate thoroughly, even if you have to dig three feet underground, you must catch that damn thief!"

Sect leader Hu Qing was extremely furious and distressed at this moment. Even he was reluctant to use the precious medicinal materials in the medicine storehouse. Those were priceless things that could not be bought outside even with money, yet they were stolen by a thief!

How can this not be infuriating?

Not only him, but the elders around him were also gritting their teeth. Before, one of the elders was seriously ill and had to pay some price to apply for some precious medicinal materials in the medicine storehouse. Now, this heavily guarded medicine storehouse was robbed!

While they were furious, they also had great doubts. The guards of Taiyi Sect were no worse than those of Lingcheng Mansion. How could that thief sneak in so easily?

And he was able to leave quietly after stealing so many things?

This was most likely committed by someone they knew well. If it wasn't someone who knew Taiyi Sect intimately, how could they have done it so flawlessly?!

Guo Yi and other disciples below were also very surprised when they heard the news. At the same time, they all thought of someone inexplicably.

Ning nationality!

They returned to the clan early this morning, but on the way back, according to the search results of the government and the team, Ning Ji and his cousin were seriously injured. They robbed several pharmacies along the way and fled towards Lingcheng.

The Zongli medicine storehouse was robbed last night, and the thief is most likely him!

Moreover, Ning Ji was once a disciple of Taiyi Sect and was naturally very familiar with Taiyi Sect, so he was the most suspicious!

Thinking of this, they expressed their guess. After all, they hurried back mainly because those disciples who were unconscious in Stone Village were still waiting for medicine!

"Ning Ji!" Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Hu Qing's face turned stern. "We shouldn't have let this hypocritical villain go so easily!"

The elders on the side nodded in agreement, and one of them said, "Since he was seriously injured, he must not have run far. He must still be in the territory of Lingcheng, or very likely hiding near Taiyi Sect."

The Sect Master's eyes immediately fixed on Guo Yi, "You must lead your disciples to search for Ning Ji's whereabouts immediately. Make sure to recover the stolen herbs as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Disciple commands!"

The disciples hurriedly left the main hall, and after a brief discussion, they dispersed and searched with all their might.
