Chapter Seventy-Eight: Red Mist

There was a door in the northwest direction, and the old man walked in front, through the corridor and the herbs, to the door.

Turning around, he asked Ji Deyue, "Do you dare to come in with me?"

As soon as Ji Deyue heard this, she knew that there must be something else here, but let her admit that it was impossible to be cowardly, and then look at the door.

It is a single iron door, unlike the other rooms in the house that have double doors, and this door is locked with an iron chain, and I can't help but wonder:

"Grandpa, if you have a treasure here, and you lock it with such a thick iron chain, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here?"

The old man pointed to the iron chain and said, "What treasure can I have, what I can have is medicinal herbs, what is special about this iron chain when you smell it?"

Ji Deyue stepped forward and was about to smell it, Lou Tai pulled her over, staring at the old man vigilantly, Ji Deyue patted Lou Tai's shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, the old man is the doctor in the village, I have a two-sided relationship with him, and I have been in this courtyard, it doesn't matter!"

Lou Tai heard and looked at the door carefully, as if there was nothing special, the old man looked at Lou Tai and nodded, and Lou Tai let go of Ji Deyue!

Ji Deyue stepped forward and sniffed it, it was the Broken Intestine Grass, it turned out that the old man had smeared the Broken Intestine Grass juice on the iron chain.

Ji Deyue said in surprise: "Grandpa, it seems that you really have a big treasure here, the juice of the broken intestine grass on this iron chain is a poisonous herb."

Intestinal herb poisoning is mainly caused by the nervous system. Someone may just get dizzy if they touch it slightly.

If you deliberately want to offend you and open your door, you will get dizziness, double vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, numbness of limbs, and in severe cases, nerve paralysis.

It's a great precaution, and you have a doorknob that's very high above a 10-year-old, so I think it avoids the danger of a child touching it. ”

The old man nodded "um" and said, "You doll is carefully observed, flexible, bold and careful, and you do have Huigen!"

Ji Deyue was complimented, and looked at Lou Tai embarrassedly with her tongue out.

And Lou Tai is also looking at her, she is thoughtful and knows a lot of medicines, especially the weeds in the field, this is not like Xu Ranran!

Even if Xu Ranran had been in contact with medicine before, it would only be in textbooks, and it was impossible for her to see the medicinal properties just by smelling it, unless she had been exposed to a large number of real herbs!

Ji Deyue couldn't help but get nervous when she saw Lou Tai staring at her with a solemn expression, didn't he see something, did she not know how to restrain herself recently?

At this time, the old man was the first to break the silence, he put on his isolation gloves, opened the chain and door lock, and said, "Come in!"

Ji Deyue hurriedly turned around and stepped into the house as if to escape, the placement in the house was no different from that in the courtyard, and the smell was very different, it was still the Chinese herbs that were placed.

It's just that in this room, there are cabinets made up of rows of common small boxes to store medicines.

Each box is marked with the name of the herb, and Ji Deyue took a look at it, and it was no different.

So how is it worth locking up with such a large chain?

The old man walked to the back of the cabinet and pushed the cabinet with his hands, but the cabinet that was originally in the east-west direction was turned into a north-south direction by him.

The wall-to-wall side of the cabinet is presented, probably perennially against the wall, a little damp, and the color of the cabinet is different from the front color!

There was a crack in the center of the cabinet, and the old man took an awl, broke the gap and said:

"I haven't touched it in 30 years, and this door is already dilapidated!"

Then the two wide cabinet doors were opened, and the contents of the cabinet were gradually revealed!

Ji Deyue was startled when he saw it, his hands clenched unconsciously, and even his body unconsciously mocked Lou Tai two steps closer.

This reminded her inexplicably of the python Lou Tai was locked in the basement of the study, and the situation she saw when she fell that day was exactly the same.

Lou Tai naturally noticed her abnormality, and quietly took two steps forward and blocked her in front of her!

The old man looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile and said, "Come, see, can you see anything about this specimen?"

When Ji Deyue heard that it was a specimen, she secretly stuck out her tongue, just glanced at it, and now she came to see it openly, and she was surprised by its magic!

I saw that there was a stand in the cabinet, and a thigh-thick snakeskin was propped up above the stand.

This snakeskin is about 5 meters long and about 10 centimeters in diameter, and each part is very full, which makes it suddenly look too realistic in visual effects, which scares Ji Deyue!

The old man sighed proudly: "It's been more than 30 years, and it's still as good as ever, I can't imagine it!"

Ji Deyue stepped forward to take a closer look, this is like a python's snake molt, so thick, but how can there be two holes the size of a hammer on the head of this snake?

Ji Deyue pointed to this hole and asked puzzledly: "Grandpa, this python snake is well preserved, why are there two holes on the head, which you cut?"

The old man shook his head and denied: "No, it's not me, it's not itself, I think these two holes should be horns!"

How can a snake have horns, Ji Deyue felt that this old man was joking, and couldn't help laughing:

"Grandpa, I don't know, where did the python get its horns, only dragons have horns!"

As soon as these words came out, the old man looked at Ji Deyue with bright eyes, and said excitedly: "You also think it's a dragon molt, right?"

Ji Deyue's head was short-circuited for a while, this is a dragon molting, is there really a dragon in the world?

Looking at Lou Tai incredulously, Lou Tai's contemplative face flickered, Ji Deyue pulled the corner of his clothes and said a little shocked:

"Is this grandpa delusional?"

Lou Tai opened his mouth and asked, "Old man, where did you get this snake molt, can you tell me?"

The old man's spirit suddenly became very good, and he was a little excited, he touched the snake and said:

"You want to know, I have this dragon this only one thing in the world, even if you have money, you can't buy it!"

Ji Deyue pursed her lips and said: Isn't it just a python molt, why is it so expensive, although the python is difficult to find, the python molt is even more difficult to find, so it won't be sky-high!

Lou Tai continued: "I think your snake molt is indeed special, and it is also extremely precious.

And this python is the best medicine in the world, but I don't know if I can find it again where you found it!"

The old man's baby thing was recognized, and he was very happy, waved his hand and said proudly:

"It's impossible, that place can't be anymore, it's become a barbaric land with no grass!"

Ji Deyue was shocked in her heart, and she gossiped curiously: "Why is this happening, is it related to the dragon's transformation?"

The old man stroked his beard, thought for a while and said helplessly: "Maybe, more than thirty years ago, when I followed my grandfather there, it was still lush and full of life, but now there is no grass anymore!"

There was a sadness spreading in the air, and the old man couldn't hide his sadness!

Ji Deyue boldly guessed: "Old man, did you get this in Luxiang Bay?"

As far as I know, at present, only Luxiang Bay has been seriously damaged by the nuclear leakage, and the land has become uninhabited, and the radius is no longer inhabited!"

After hearing this, the old man laughed and said: "Luxiang Bay is too far away from here, how can it be possible, the place I am talking about is the lake at the end of the village where you are going."

This lake was originally called Tianbi Lake, and later changed its name to Xuebi Lake!"

Ji Deyue was a little creepy when she heard this name, what name is not good, why is it such a terrifying name!

Lou Tai also frowned and asked puzzledly: "Why did this lake change its name, and it was so memorable?"

The old man smiled mysteriously, beckoned them to go out, put the cabinet back in its place, locked the door, and then came to the courtyard, pointed to the place at the end of the village and asked:

"You two come and see, is there any difference there?"

Lou Tai picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of his finger.

Ji Deyue was very surprised on the side, she teased Lou Tai and said, "I can't see it, you still have a lot of treasures!"

Lou Tai glanced at her and said, "I'm going to inspect, so I'm naturally prepared, otherwise how do you think I can find you so quickly!"

Ji Deyue suddenly nodded and smiled at the old man:

"Grandpa, your eyes are so good, I look at the distant mountains and there is a cloud of mist, this is a very common scene in the mountains!"

The old man smiled, brushed a handful of scum, shook his head unfathomably, and said, "Look at it again!"

Ji Deyue looked around, the distant mountains were like daisies, the mountains were undulating, and the fog was shrouded between the mountains, and only one place was shrouded in the mountains!

Lou Tai said in surprise after reading it: "No, why is the fog red in one place?"

Ji Deyue hurriedly took the telescope from his hand and couldn't wait to look at it, and sure enough, as he said, it was the place where the mist flooded the mountain.

Red smoke rose from the mist, like a mushroom cloud!

I couldn't help but open my mouth in surprise and said, "Could it be that the snake fairy is about to take off with colorful auspicious clouds?"

These words amused the old man, as if he couldn't imagine her being so naughty, and sat on the stone bench and said:

"Your friends are here!"

Ji Deyue hurriedly looked at the road with a telescope, and sure enough, Huang Qi strode over with a righteous stride!

But the distance that the telescope sees is far from the distance seen by the naked eye.

Ji Deyue looked at the old man in shock again, secretly surprised in her heart, and after 5 minutes, Huang Qi walked within Ji Deyue's line of sight.

Ji Deyue mocked him and shouted: "Huang Qi, this way!"

Lou Tai looked around at the decoration of the house, he was very curious about the three of them standing in the same position at the same time, why the old man was looking farther than him and Ji Deyue!

Finally, a few mirrors under the eaves caught Lou Tai's attention.

The house is already in a high position, and the placement of the mirrors is adjusted at different angles to make the mirrors refract with each other.

A total of 24 small mirrors create the effect of two telescopes, and things can be seen clearly from a distance of 100 meters on both sides of the road!

Lou Tai thought tacitly: "It seems that this is an old immortal, there may be some things, and he has to rely on him for help, after all, he has seen more than others!"

Huang Qi trotted up to the courtyard and greeted the old man respectfully.

Ji Deyue said mischievously: "Huang Qi, your walking posture is really majestic!"

Huang Qi touched his head embarrassedly and said: "I've been shouting the trumpet for 5 years, standing in a military posture for 5 years, and now let me bend over and hunch, I can always think of our instructor's shadowless feet!"
