Volume 1 Brave New World Chapter 63 Stepping on Tai Sui?
The cave here is naturally a place where bandits often come, and every three or five zhang distance on the rock wall, a square grid is carved out at the height of a person, and the lattice is lit with an oil lamp made of animal fat, which is very durable.
Because of the impact caused by the burning of the fire talisman, many small lamps were blown out of the flames, and the remaining ones were less impacted, and finally survived between the light and the extinction, but because the air in the cave was burned by the fire talisman and removed a lot of oxygen, for a long distance, the oil lamps were burned because of insufficient burning, and the brightness was also much darker.
But fortunately, Zhong Yebai and Niu Si are used to the dark environment in the cave, although the light of the oil lamp is not bright enough, but it is enough to illuminate the road!
After running for a while, Zhong Yebai and Niu Si finally had to stop, breathing in the air to regain their strength because of the long time they had escaped into the rock wall and the low oxygen content in the air in this cave. Fortunately, the puppet's speed was not fast, and it only slid down the slope of the cave, so although the two of them only ran a cup of tea, they had already thrown the puppet that stabbed in all directions with iron thorns out of a long distance, and it should not be able to catch up in a short time, and there should be no danger for the time being.
The two of them stopped and wanted to take a rest, originally the escape method is a very physical consuming spell, although it does not require true yuan, but it is not suitable for long-term use, therefore, Zhong Yebai and Niu Si were already physically exhausted when they escaped from the rock wall, and later the fire charm consumed a lot of oxygen in the cave, causing the two of them to recover too slowly, and they ran away at this time, and they really couldn't hold on.
"Since they dare to come down and chase us, it means that this path must be right, let's go down and try, we should be able to find the right way out!" Zhong Yebai thought about the development of the whole thing, and slowly analyzed, but because this body was relatively weak, in this air with a relatively low oxygen concentration, his brain also became a little sluggish, and at this moment, Niu Si was still a little sober.
"Is there still a must to try? The puppet in the back won't stop, there is only one road in front, what can you do if you don't go down?" Niu Si gasped, a little disdainful of Zhong Yebai's well-founded but seemingly unnecessary analysis.
After listening to Niu Si's words, Zhong Yebai thought about it for a long time, only felt that Niu Si's words were still more reasonable, and nodded seriously.
Since there are puppets chasing after you, it must be better to go early than late, and if you go early, you can stay away from danger as soon as possible. The two of them regained their strength a little, and they continued to walk down with each other's arms.
The further down they went, the more they felt that the surrounding environment was gradually getting hotter, and the sweat on their bodies couldn't stop coming out.
"Childe, your body is too weak, you have to make up for it after you go back!" Niu Si felt the sweat on Zhong Yebai's body like running water, as if he had just come out of the bath.
Zhong Yebai couldn't hear the word "virtual" the most, but his body was indeed empty at this time, so empty that he was reluctant to waste even the slightest bit of strength, and he was even reluctant to scold back.
As he walked, Zhong Yebai only felt a softness under his feet, and he slipped to the ground without paying attention, and slid down the cave for a distance of several feet.
The person didn't fall and was injured, but Zhong Yebai, who fell, was very disappointed in his heart, the body used after crossing over was also weaker, the body was thin and weak, and it didn't matter if he didn't have the strength to beat others, the most hateful thing was that he was still weak, and he was so weak, and he didn't know how the owner of this body had ruined this body before, Zhong Yebai even believed that if it wasn't for the time he crossed over, the owner of this body was so ruined, lingering in the fireworks and willow alleys day and day, and within three years, he would definitely die on the belly of a woman.
No, this body is empty, this sweating, even the sense of touch is not bright, others say that the feet are soft, but it means that the feet suddenly have no strength, but their feet are soft, it is really soft, this hard stone, I stepped on it and there was a soft feeling, it seemed that there was a layer of silicone about half an inch on the ground......
I wanted to get up with my hands, but I pressed my hand on the ground, and my hand actually pressed the layer of "silicone" into it, and as soon as I let go of my hand, the layer of "silicone" automatically bounced up and recovered.
Is this body hallucinating?
In this cruel world, if you don't have a good body, what's the use of a good family background? Besides, after you return to Xuandu City and return to the Chu Palace, whether you can survive under the cover of this body is still two words, in those time-traveling novels, it is not uncommon to see open and secret battles in the courtyard of wealthy families, and its cruelty is definitely no less than that in the rivers and lakes.
Zhong Yebai dragged his tired body and tried his best to stand up, but his feet slipped again, and he fell to the ground again, and his hands naturally went down......
Hey?
This ground seems to have a layer of soft stuff laid on it, is it Tai Sui?
In a place where the temperature and humidity are suitable, and there is abundant water, there will indeed be a creature that can grow, in the original world, it is called Tai Sui, and another name is called Meat Lingzhi.
In the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded, "The meat is like meat." Attached to a boulder, the head and tail have it, and it is a living thing. The red ones are like coral, the white ones are like fat, the black ones are like lacquer, the green ones are like green feathers, the yellow ones are like purple gold, and they are all bright and penetrating like solid ice!"
In modern scientific research, it is believed that Tai Sui is a rare aggregate that grows underground and is composed of three types of fungi, slime molds, bacteria and fungi, as for the edible and medicinal value, there is no conclusive conclusion, but in Ge Hong's "Bao Puzi" it is believed that this is an elixir of immortality.
Is it really Tai Sui?
Although the oxygen content in the air in the cave is much higher than that of the ground, and even the candles and oil lamps on both sides of the rock wall can no longer burn normally, driven by curiosity, I still want to see the true face of this "Tai Sui".
Tai Sui, Zhong Yebai has seen it on TV before, seen it on the news, but never seen it with his own eyes, and the biggest Tai Sui on the TV is only a few hundred catties, but he stepped on these few feet, and he seemed to have a soft feeling, if this piece was a Tai Sui, it would be really too big, but unfortunately the oil lamps on both sides were only slightly bright, and he couldn't see what the "Tai Sui" on the ground looked like!
"Niu Si, you can get a fire talisman, light a little fire, and see what is on the way?"
"What are you looking at?" Niu Si was puzzled, this good walk, didn't he just fall two heels, what is there to see? His Royal Highness the Prince of the World used to look quite able to endure hardships, but how could he be pampered at this time.
"Look what's on the ground!"
"There are also oil lamps to illuminate here, this time I have prepared only more than thirty fire talismans, and there will be no more when they are used up!" Niu Si looked reluctant, indeed, in Niu Si's opinion, the road below is still long, it is impossible for all places to be illuminated by these oil lamps, and when the time comes, this fire talisman is really useful, and it is really a waste to use it at this time.
"Don't you think there's a soft, slippery layer on the floor?"
After Zhong Yebai's reminder, Niu Si recalled that he really felt that the ground was a little soft and slippery, so he hurriedly stomped on the ground, but there was no sound, and he punched the wall, and it was still the same.
Could it be that this cave is wrapped in Tai Sui on all sides? Zhong Yebai can't help but feel creepy, this place is also a little evil, right?
At this moment, the two only heard a faint movement behind them, and looked back, the three puppets that had been left far away had already chased behind them, and it turned out that on this soft ground, the wooden track was no longer a simple roll, but a slide, and the speed naturally increased a lot!
"Escape!" Zhong Yebai, who had already recovered some strength, grabbed Niu Si and wanted to escape into the rock wall again to avoid the attack of the puppet iron thorn.
But when the two jumped to the rock wall, they were firmly blocked by the soft thing, and they bounced back, and the two fell heavily to the ground, but fortunately, the soft thing, the two of them fell to the ground and it didn't hurt.
But what the two of them were afraid of was not the pain of falling to the ground, but the sharpness of the puppet's iron thorns.
Seeing that the two of them were about to be stabbed by the iron thorns on the puppet's body, Niu Si was in a hurry, and a fire talisman was thrown out, burning a ball of fire directly in front of the puppet......
