Chapter 222: The Wise Man
"Then what next?" Chu He looked at him gloatingly.
"Wouldn't we have found this thing before they had an accident!" Li Ning glanced at him and said lightly.
Actually, he has a doubt now, and he is very puzzled in his heart.
Why did the people in the inn look like nothing had happened, you must know that there are dead people here.
However, instead of waiting for the martial artist, he just waited for the doctor.
Judging by this.
Either a group of people but not a single heart.
Either that group left early without going deep into here.
This person wants to eat alone.
"How do you want to find it?" Chu He asked with interest.
"Cut your palms. I think since this thing likes to eat hearts, it should be bloodthirsty. Li Ning observed the corpse and pondered.
"Why me?" Chu He refused.
"Because my skin is so thick, ordinary attacks and blades can't cut through it at all. Li Ning said truthfully.
Copper skin and iron bones are not blown.
His defense is particularly strong now.
Even if he fights with Chu He now, he doesn't care about it at all.
"I think you're thick-skinned, aren't you?, aren't all spirit people extremely fragile in their bodies?" Chu He tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"I don't need to lie to you about this matter! The master of the five heavens, grinding and chirping, like a girl, afraid of pain?
"You're so afraid of pain, I'll come, I'll come. "Chu He's most annoying thing is that others say that he is a girl, although he doesn't turn his face, but he is very angry.
"Let's get started. Li Ning looked at him playfully.
"Hey, idiot. As soon as Chu He stretched out his left hand, with a little luck, blood overflowed from his pores.
Drops of bright blood beads fell down the edge of the palm.
In a few moments, the ground was yellow and close to rotting leaves, stained with blood.
In an environment full of exhaust fumes, it doesn't take long for the blood to clot and become a lump.
But the bloody breath was blown by the wind and began to spread in all directions.
"You've disappointed me, coward. Li Ning shook his head and said disdainfully.
"Wisdom: Shut up. Chu He's eyes widened.
Babbling –
Suddenly.
Something crept in.
At first, it was very weak, giving people the feeling of carefully stepping on the grass, rubbing forward little by little.
But as time went on, the sound grew louder, and finally it seemed like something moving rapidly in the grass.
With a whooshing sound, sometimes the surrounding grass, sometimes the leaves overhead, constantly shaking.
"It's fast, and it doesn't seem like it's big. Chu He cautiously glanced around.
"It's not big, it's like a monkey, but the face is a little disgusting. Li Ning's eyes lifted, entered the three-color vision, and instantly captured the trace of this thing.
In his world, everything around him seemed to be air.
Only the Chu River and this monkey-like thing exuded a striking light.
"Where?" Chu He looked at him in astonishment, but before he found out, the other party found it.
"Overhead!" Li Ning stretched out his right index finger and raised it, pointing at the leaves above the two of them.
Crash!
The leaves were ripped open by a pair of hairy hands.
Don't look at the small hands, but the five fingers are strangely long, and the nails are very sharp, like daggers.
Immediately after that, a face the size of an adult's palm slowly emerged from the leaves.
"Grimace Monkey. Chu He's face changed slightly.
"Acquaintance?" Li Ning looked at this face as ugly as a grimace and raised his eyebrows.
This face resembles the tragic expression of a dead corpse at the foot of the pole, but it is more vivid.
With sharp canine teeth, a large scarlet mouth, and a dark round and huge eyeball.
They can even see themselves through each other's eyes.
"The 327th place on the foreign body list, a grimace monkey, likes to eat human blood and heart, and lives in a place of exhaust gas all year round. Chu He seems to have memorized these common senses.
"Group living?" Li Ning frowned.
"This is an animal that has been infected by the breath of death and has been mutated, not integrated into the group, and lives alone. Chu He shook his head with a cold face.
"Is it amazing?" Li Ning continued.
"The adult Grimace Monkey is probably around the Jade Lock Four Heavens, but it's fast, so it's a fight with me. Chu He nodded with a slightly solemn expression.
Yikes!
The grimace monkey suddenly screamed.
The black tail as slender as a whip wrapped around the branch, and its whole body sank down.
His hands stretched out to Li Ning below.
The dagger-like index finger grabbed at the neck.
It seems that there is a desire to uproot.
"Be careful!" Chu He exclaimed, but the next second the whole person froze.
Li Ning raised his right hand, and the latter came first, and directly spread out his slap and grabbed the face of the grimace monkey, and grabbed it lightly.
With a click, the head of the grimace monkey was torn apart, and a yellow-white sticky substance continued to seep through his fingers.
The diminutive body twitched violently a few times before losing its breath.
If it weren't for the tail that kept rolling up the branches above.
It was already hanging on the ground at this moment.
Li Ning let go of his hand and wiped it on the tree trunk next to him, and said contemptuously: "I thought it was something powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so fragile." ”
"You... You kid... Are you a monster?" Chu He looked at him in disbelief, this strength was not comparable to his own.
And, more importantly, it's hard to catch the movements of the grimace monkeys.
Because it is small and fast, any movement is completed in an instant.
I was only instinctively aware of the danger just now.
However, Li Ning actually managed to be the last to come, and directly crushed the head of the grimace monkey alive.
Do it with one hit.
"The danger is gone, and we can continue our search for the fish scales. Li Ning didn't want to dwell on this topic too much, so he continued to go deeper after speaking.
"Slow down, tell me if there is any increase in strength among the abilities of the spirit. Chu He hurriedly followed, asking relentlessly.
Only the corpse of the ghost-faced monkey with its head swayed weakly from side to side in the air.
It's like a pendulum that has lost its precision.
As the two of them continued to go deeper along the cliff.
The front suddenly opened up.
It was no longer a large area of trees and vegetation.
Instead, a space is freed up.
It is full of all kinds of delicate greenery.
It looks out of place with its surroundings and stands out from the crowd.
There is also a refreshing fragrance in the air.
"Hey, you said it!" Chu He followed all the way, still asking.
"It's supposed to be here. Li Ning didn't bother to pay attention to him, and carefully observed the surroundings.
"I... This... How does it feel like there are people living here?" Chu He originally wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end, but when he looked at the surrounding scene, he was stunned.
"There may have been, but not now. If you look at the weeds on the ground, it's clear that no one has cleaned them up for a long time. Li Ning nodded, thinking the same way.
"In other words, if someone is cultivating real estate here, then this grimace monkey will not be a guard. Chu He said thoughtfully.
"I don't know, anyway, let's look for the fish scale fruit first. Li Ning said and stepped forward.
This property area is not very large.
There are also no fences around.
It's like simply enclosing such an open space.
Then some medicinal herbs and other plants are planted in it.
"There's a cave hidden by vines, I'll go inside and look inside, and you continue to look for the fish scales. Li Ning's three-color vision quickly found clues.
"Okay, but when you come out, the fish scale fruit may be gone. Chu He laughed and walked briskly to the other side.
"Now you're laughing, and then you'll cry. Li Ning looked at the tall back of this goods, and his expression was very sinister.
In his left hand, he grabbed a three-finger-thick vine and pulled it away.
Li Ning cautiously walked inside.
The vines drooped back to where they were.
Swinging from side to side.
So that the light is sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
It's dazzling.
Luckily, he has a three-color vision.
So it didn't get too much of a hindrance.
Deep tunnels.
The sound of clattering footsteps echoed.
Li Ning went deeper and deeper, and gradually came to a relatively large space.
Inside, there are some simple furniture, such as wooden tables and stools, as well as hay and plank beds.
It seems that they were all made by the previous owner himself, but the craftsmanship is very average, so it is slightly rough.
On the left, there is a trickling stream that slides from left to right into the crack in the wall.
On the right side of the stream, there is a gourd-shaped, one-person-tall crimson alchemy furnace.
Underneath the firewood is a pile of black embers that have stuck together.
It is revealed that it has not been used for a long time.
"Alchemy furnace, herbs, it seems that the person who lived here before was a physician. Li Ning came up with the answer through various traces.
Step forward.
Let's start with the hay plank bed.
Look carefully.
Didn't find anything useful.
He crouched down and swept down under the bed.
A cyan wooden box, arm wide and half arm long, came into view.
Li Ning stretched out his left hand and pinched the handle wrapped in the fur of an unknown animal, and gently pulled it out from below.
Even a large pile of hay that had fallen on the ground was dragged out.
A black arch appeared on the ground.
There was no hesitation.
Li Ning directly pressed the up, down, left and right sides with both hands, and with a slight pull, the wooden box opened with a click.
A black quaint medical book, a porcelain vase of blue and white porcelain, and a burnt half-roll of bamboo slips appeared.
This further proves that his guess just now is correct, the person who lived here before is definitely a doctor.
[Summary of the alchemy of the first half of the body]
【Fish Scale Pill】
【Arch of Afternoon Fire Alchemy】
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a simple thing, and there's a full bottle of fish scale pill here. Li Ning picked up the porcelain bottle, twisted the cork clockwise, looked inside with his left eye, and found that the blue-gray pill was almost full.
There are at least a few dozen.
So here's the problem.
What was the reason for the sudden departure of the doctor who had been here before?
Not even these things were taken with them.
It seemed as if something was in a hurry, as if someone was being chased and killed, so he had to leave.
But since he couldn't guess it, of course he didn't bother to continue to speculate, and hid this bottle of fish scale pill first.
Then he carried the wooden box and walked towards the alchemy furnace.
Getting closer, he looked around and found the place where the lid had been opened.
Immediately, the middle finger of the left hand was stretched into the gap, and the top was pushed with a little force.
Bang.
The cover pops up.
Li Ning grabbed the lid to the side with his right hand, stood on tiptoe and looked deep inside.
Found in the middle of the round belly, there is a transverse plate that seems to be made of iron or something.
On the black horizontal board, there was a large gray mass glued together.
It seems to be an elixir that has not yet been formed.
It seems that the alchemy physician was in the middle of the alchemy when something suddenly happened.
And he didn't care about the refined pill at all, so he left in a hurry.
"Hey—did you find anything?" said Chu He's voice outside the cave.
"I found something old, and I'm going to get out. Li Ning felt that there was nothing worth searching for, so he returned the same way.
After a while, he pushed open the vines with the wooden box and walked out.
I saw the Chu River head-on.
There were already quite a few members of the boxing gang standing around.
In the face of so many mature medicinal herbs.
Everyone looked very excited.
"The ichtha has been found, right over there. What about you, have you found anything?" Chu He said, pointing to a very dwarf green plant behind him on his right side.
Fish scale fruit is naturally a fruit that looks like fish scales.
Juvenile is blue, and when mature, it is dark green, and the surface is densely covered with scale-shaped lines.
The fruit on this plant is almost identical to the one in the description.
Apparently it is a precious ten-year fruit.
"Found a wooden box, it seems that this place was previously inhabited by an alchemist. Li Ning shook the wooden box he was holding in his right hand, and there was a clattering sound of things colliding inside.
"Now we're rich, hahaha!" Chu He smiled proudly and happily.
"That's right, it's true that I've made a fortune. Li Ning nodded in agreement.
"Ah, what do you mean?" Chu He saw that his answer was a little confusing, and he didn't know why.
"Don't you feel a little familiar with that corpse just now?" Li Ning looked at him with a smile.
"The corpse? the clothes are indeed a little... Isn't that my Chu family's clothes?" Chu He was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment.
"You're so smart. Li Ning smiled and nodded.
"This is the Chu family's discovery?" Chu He chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Yes, it was your Chu family who found out!" Li Ning nodded without hesitation.
"You asked me to come with you to the place where the Chu family found the fish scale fruit, you are special. Chu He's eyes suddenly straightened.
"And that's not all. The doctors who carried the anti-poison pill were all invited by your Chu family, but they were cut off by us halfway. Li Ning said seriously.
"I... I ......" the corners of Chu He's mouth twitched violently.
"In other words, you were sold by me, and you ended up counting the money for me together!" Li Ning grinned and showed his white and neat teeth, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"What are you—" Chu He's whole body began to tremble, and his expression was as ugly as eating.
