Chapter 66: Three Days of Horror (7)
When Lu Zhi picked up the jade bottle containing the pill, he had already checked them one by one, Xu Chen didn't know the words on the jade bottle, and Lu Zhi didn't know either. However, the knowledge of the mysterious people that has been circulated among the masters of the Grandmaster Realm has the meaning that these characters represent.
The outsiders obviously couldn't understand the words of the mysterious man, but this did not prevent the outsiders from constantly trying the medicinal effects of the elixir, and then finding suitable words that could accurately describe the medicinal effects from the knowledge system they were familiar with, and spontaneously naming the elixir with a noun that they could accept and express in their own words, so as to correspond this noun to the characters on the jade bottle.
Perhaps this simple and crude correspondence has long lost the original meaning of the characters, but it can be remembered by outsiders and spread.
In fact, no matter where in time and space, the cultural collision between two different civilizations begins with the most one-to-one correspondence.
Hundreds of years later, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the exchanges between the missionary Matteo Ricci and the scholar Xu Guangqi, as well as the translation between Chinese and English, actually followed the same path.
When Xu Guangqi pointed to a table and said, "This is called a 'table'!" Matteo Ricci would have replied, "Itistable." So, "table" and "table" correspond as a matter of course, and perhaps before these two terms correspond to each other, they may have other meanings, but since they correspond, after a long period of circulation, they have become the only one!
The cognition of the masters of the Grandmaster Realm on the rivers and lakes about the elixir of the mysterious person is also a rough process, but this correspondence can only be applied to the elixir, but not to the rest of the talismans and magic weapons. After all, unlike the text translations of Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci, there is an accurate one-to-one correspondence between the two sides, and the explanations of the masters of the Grandmaster Realm on the rivers and lakes to the elixir of the mysterious man are just out of a generalization of the efficacy of the elixir, and it is completely a one-sided reference to the deer as a horse. It is difficult to say that the masters of the Grandmaster Realm have cracked the words of the mysterious people, so if they transfer the things they have copied to the talisman and magic weapon, and use this to judge the name and efficacy of the talisman seal and magic weapon, it will obviously be very wrong!
Fortunately, today's Xu Chen doesn't need to accurately decipher the mysterious person's words, he just needs to know the approximate effect of the elixir.
Hearing Xu Chen's question, Lu Zhi introduced them one by one: "Owner, these bottles are all healing, and the specific effects need to be tested by someone to be clear, but they can all be guaranteed to be non-toxic and harmless." ”
"These others are all pills that can be cultivated!" Lu Zhi deliberately pointed to another pile of jade bottles with more than a dozen of them, and said excitedly.
According to the rumors that circulated in the rivers and lakes before, even if a few Grandmaster Realm masters occasionally joined forces to kill a mysterious person, the pills that could be obtained and could be cultivated were only one or two bottles at most, and several people divided them, and each person could get one or two pills at most. That's not bad, after all, there is something to gain, but the normalcy on the rivers and lakes is to try their best, and in the end they can't find a pill that can be cultivated.
I had never heard of any mysterious person who would carry so many elixirs that could be cultivated intensively! At least Lu Zhi had never heard of it in the many years since he entered the Grandmaster Realm.
This is also normal, there are generally two kinds of people who can be sent to the outside world to perform tasks by various domains:
A kind of person who is experienced and has superior strength, and often goes out, such a person has almost never been killed by the masters of the Grandmaster Realm in the outside world, and the masters of the Grandmaster Realm can't even find their traces!
There is also a type of mysterious person who can be killed by the masters of the Grandmaster Realm, that is, those monks who have made mistakes in various domains, or who are struggling with their lives, will take the initiative or passively take on the task of going out. No matter which one it is, this kind of person will not have a great background. And the elixir of intensive cultivation is the most precious thing for the monk, no matter which realm it is! How could these people who have no background carry a large handful of such precious elixirs on their bodies?
But Wu Yan is different! Wu Yan's Lao Tzu is the great elder of the Kunlun Domain, and with such a son as Wu Yan under his knees, how can he neglect his cultivation? Usually in the sect, Wu Yan can go directly to his Laozi Cave Mansion to get any elixir that needs to be cultivated!
But this time Wu Yan needed to go out to perform the task, and he couldn't go back for a few months, Wu Yan's Lao Tzu waved his hand to equip Wu Yan with half a year's elixir at one time in order not to let his son slack off his practice. But how did he know that since Wu Yan came out, he had escaped from Lao Tzu's discipline, so how could he still have the heart to practice hard! The pills that he Lao Tzu had equipped for him, Wu Yan was useless, and in the end, they were all cheaper than Xu Chen......
Lu Zhi stared straight at the elixir that had been transferred to Xu Chen's hand, his eyes revealing a strong desire.
Xu Chen smiled, put all these pills back in Lu Zhi's hands, and said, "You can take these things and share them with everyone!"
Lu Zhi held the dozen bottles of pills in both hands, glanced at Xu Chen deeply, and then nodded heavily.
"By the way, what kind of pills are these bottles?" Xu Chen asked, pointing to the other pile of pills on the ground that had been specially sorted out by Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi shook his head and replied helplessly: "I don't know! These pills are very strange, different from any pill I know." ”
"Haven't seen the elixir?" asked Xu Chen.
"That's right!" Lu Zhi nodded back.
Xu Chen picked up a small jade bottle, put it in his hand, and asked while playing with it, "Can you be sure about the approximate effect of this thing?"
Xu Chen is now extremely lacking in offensive means, and it is a common routine to use war to nurture the war and use what he has obtained from the enemy as a method to control the enemy. For this reason, Xu Chen desperately wanted to get something from the enemy that could be used immediately to strengthen his own strength.
At present, Xu Chen has scavenged a total of three flying swords from the enemy, but these flying swords are all short and concise, and they are only a few inches long in total. And it's blunt, the edge of the blade is not opened, it's quite strong, but it has no effect, even if it is handed over to Geng Yanqiu as a dart, Geng Yanqiu can't use it to exert the speed of an ordinary dart.
As for the rest of the embroidered handkerchiefs, belly pockets, ribbons, Dan furnaces and so on, Xu Chen really couldn't think of a way to use them.
Now that it is not easy to see some pills that may have strange effects, Xu Chen is naturally full of expectations. After using the drugs brought back by Chai Lao, Xu Chen became interested in these simple and powerful drugs. If these jade bottles could also have some potions with the same function, then it would undoubtedly make Xu Chen's next battle much easier. Of course, it would be even better if there were some powerful poisons!
However, using poison is a highly technical job! It requires the user to have careful thinking and deep scheming, and this Wuyan is obviously impossible!
Sure enough, when Lu Zhi took the risk to open the jade bottle and carefully sniffed the elixir in the jade bottle, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Lu Zhi's face: "Dongjia, in my opinion, the medicine in these jade bottles may be the kind of medicine that men only use under special circumstances......"
Looking at Lu Zhi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xu Chen understood, and then said with disappointment and anger: "Aphrodisiac is aphrodisiac, why are you so euphemistic?"
Lu Zhi smiled wryly, and said in his heart: "I don't see that you are a young man who has not yet opened!"
Xu Chen was a little disappointed and casually threw aside the jade bottle containing the special medicine, but he didn't know that the jade bottle had just been taken off and picked up.
Xu Chen, who was sitting on the ground, raised his head and looked up at the person who came, but it was Lu Hao!
"What are you doing with this?" Xu Chen looked at Lu Hao with a strange expression.
Lu Hao pretended to cough twice, and then said seriously: "I said that this thing was also obtained by us with a lot of effort, and it was just thrown away, it is unreasonable! It is too disrespectful to the fruits of our labor!"
"Edit! continue to edit!" how could Xu Chen believe this mouth full of nonsense.
"I didn't make it up! I'm serious, I'm born to be useful! Didn't the eldest brother also say that saving zài is the truth! Since this thing happened to be in our hands, it was wasted like this, and it was not suitable! Maybe as long as we activated the Brain Sutra and thought about it, we could still find the right way to use it!" Lu Hao still spoke with a decent expression, as if what he was carrying into his arms at the moment was a treasure that had been misunderstood by the world and was like a pearl covered with dust.
"Which girl in the building wants to use it?" Xu Chen suddenly asked.
Lu Hao didn't panic at all, and still said calmly: "I'm here to solve the problem of the source of life for the girl who has lost her footing!
Xu Chen completely surrendered, shook his head and sighed: "I always thought that my skin was the thickest......! It's not as good as others!"
Lu Hao directly ignored Xu Chen's last sarcastic words, and his face was still full of solemnity.
"Second brother, I'm ...... I'm going too!Last time, you didn't take me with ......you" At this moment, Shi Lei came out of nowhere and interjected such a sentence between Xu Chen and Lu Hao.
When Lu Hao heard this, he was in a hurry! Stretched out his hand and slapped Shi Lei on the back of the head, and reprimanded loudly: "Where are you going? People don't have any hair, what about you? Where are you going?"
After being beaten, Shi Lei had no choice but to touch his head, lower his head, and mutter: "The sister there is very good-looking, people just want to go and see it......"
"Damn!" to these precocious brothers, Xu Chen, as the eldest brother, was completely speechless!
"By the way, Lao Lu, can you use these yellow papers?" Xu Chenyou, who had seen the bottles and cans, and found nothing, did not give up, shaking the stack of talismans in his hand, and asked Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi looked at these talismans with an embarrassed face, and shook his head helplessly and replied: "These things seem to be called spell talismans by them, and they seem to be specially drawn by a person called a talisman among them, and there may be some differences in the names." However, it is basically a thing that stores power on zài rune paper and waits until the battle to activate it to damage the enemy. I heard that the power is huge, and the activation speed is much faster than using spells, but like magic weapons, these things must be activated by guò aura before they can be used. We don't need ......."
Xu Chen slapped the whole dozen talismans on the ground with some irritability, and scolded angrily: "Aura, aura, and aura!
Listening to Xu Chen's complaints, Lu Zhi on the side was also quite helpless, the source of the mysterious person's power is the aura, and all the qiē things he uses are naturally all around the aura, and without the aura, people from the outside world naturally can't use it.
"Big brother, if you want to talk about aura, we also have it in our hands! There are three or four kinds of aura bracelets, and there are a few full of them, and they all have a lot of aura!" Lu Hao, who was ridiculed just now, urgently needed to reorganize his glorious and majestic image in front of his brothers, and seeing that Xu Chen was worried, he immediately reminded.
"Yes, we also have the aura in our hands!" After Lu Hao's reminder, Xu Chen also reacted, hurriedly ran to the side, took off the aura bracelet on Wu Yan's remaining right hand, and then threw the severed limb away, ignoring the severed limb that left the aura and was decomposing strongly.
After running to the same place, he began to grasp the aura bracelet in one hand and a talisman seal in the other, and began to study it carefully.
"How should I use this thing?" Xu Chen gestured for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the trick, so he asked out loud.
But how could the few people around him not be as ignorant as him?
"It should be to find a way to guide the aura in the aura bracelet to this talisman through certain means, and then complete the stimulation!" Lu Hao pondered.
"How to motivate?" Xu Chen still asked.
Lu Hao immediately took the aura bracelet from his eldest brother's hand, and saw that this aura bracelet was still emitting a faint light, but suddenly remembered that the two aura bracelets that he had stolen from Senior Brother Ma and Ling'er were dim!
Xu Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes!
"But this one has been glowing!" Lu Hao stretched out the aura bracelet in his hand to Xu Chen's eyes and signaled.
This aura bracelet has been glowing, Xu Chen has naturally noticed it a long time ago, but it was not until Lu Hao mentioned it at this moment, thinking of the two aura bracelets that he got not long ago, as well as those disintegrated legs and left hand, as well as the right hand that had just been decomposed, that he connected this series of pictures in his mind, and suddenly woke up and said: "I understand! The two spiritual qi bracelets that did not shine were obviously kept on their bodies for backup! Since they are spare, they will definitely not be opened to prevent the spiritual energy inside from slowly passing away." And this one is glowing, it must be in use! The person who called himself Wu Yan just now, I remember that he seemed to have come down from a flying sword, that sword should be a magic weapon, since it is a magic weapon, then it obviously needs to be stimulated by spiritual energy. This guy ran here as soon as he flew his sword, and he didn't even prepare for defense, so he definitely wouldn't remember to close the aura bracelet, so this aura bracelet should have been turned on all the time! And the one that Wu Yan took out of his arms just now was also glowing, probably because he opened it in a hurry!"
Xu Chen's speculation was very organized, but Lu Hao had his own questions: "No, big brother, you said that these people must rely on aura to resist the ubiquitous toxin invasion of the outside world, so they obviously need aura all the time when they are in the outside world, but when we met the surnamed Ma and this woman, they didn't see any glow on their wrists! And where did their toxin-resistant aura come from?"
"This ......" Lu Hao's question was also very convincing, Xu Chen couldn't find a suitable answer for a while, so he had to guess: "Maybe they have some aura reserved in their bodies to resist toxins, or maybe this aura bracelet only shines when a large amount of aura is needed." Alas...... Let's try it first, and we'll know if this glowing aura bracelet has been turned on!"
"How to try, big brother, do you know how to transmit aura?" Lu Hao looked at the eager big brother and asked rhetorically.
"Anyway, there's no danger in trying! Besides, I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run! The Taoist priests in the temple who danced the great gods, didn't they all wipe the yellow paper on the copper sword, and the yellow paper could burn!" Xu Chen snatched the aura bracelet in Lu Hao's hand, and then pulled out one from the stack of talismans, and while constantly rubbing the talisman on the aura bracelet with the talismans, his mouth was irresponsible.
"But didn't the eldest brother say that the tricks of those Taoist priests are all chemical changes!" Lu Hao looked at the eldest brother's movements and said a little weakly.
"Eh! Chemical changes are also changes! Maybe this thing is also made by some kind of change!" Xu Chen's hands kept rubbing, still rubbing constantly, and as soon as he said "change" in his mouth, the talisman seal in his hand really changed!
"Look! It's glowing!" Xu Chen grabbed the talisman with his right hand, which was still dim just now, but at this moment it had a red light flashing, and shouted excitedly.
"Oops!" Lu Zhi saw that Xu Chen was still holding the glowing talisman in his hand, and Lu Hao was even curious to take the talisman seal, and immediately remembered some rumors, and hurriedly shouted: "Boss, throw it away!"
Xu Chen heard Lu Zhi's shout, only then did he come back to his senses from the excitement, and remembered that his hand was about to throw it out after pulling out the lead, and now the talisman in his hand, looking at the red light flashing rapidly, is not it the same as the smoking hand thunder!
"Damn!" Xu Chen just thought of the two things, and with a sudden force of his right hand, he threw the red light talisman seal out fiercely!
It's strange to say, the talisman seal, which was originally light and fluttering and couldn't bear the slightest force, became heavy after it glowed, and gradually gained mass, and was thrown so hard by Xu Chen that it was thrown out three zhang away!
So, next, the talisman seal that was thrown out three zhang away, the red light on it began to become more rapid, and finally the red light on it exploded violently!
The sound was not as huge as when the thunder exploded, but it was like a spark falling into a pot of oil, and a thick flame suddenly burst out!
Flames suddenly burst into the sky!
The burning sound of "snorting" is as dense as the crossing of ants.
The ferocious flames came and dissipated quickly, dissipating in just a few moments!
But three zhang away, in addition to the sudden appearance of a flame, a big tree that originally grew there peacefully, a hundred years old, and needed two big men to surround it, actually disappeared out of thin air!
If it weren't for the roots of the big trees that were still burning in the soil in the same place, and the big black pit that was burned, Xu Chen and the others would never have believed that there was a hundred-year-old tree growing in that place!
On this side beyond Sanzhang, Xu Chen and the others all grew their mouths!
"This ...... This...... This ......" Xu Chen worked hard for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with the right words, but the joy in his heart surged up in an instant: "This is so fucking cool!hahahaha......"
Cool, naturally cool!
I never thought that Xu Chen's real yàn with the attitude of giving it a try would be successful! What I didn't expect was that this talisman used to make real yàn really had such great power!
"Hahahaha! Great, great, great!" Even Xu Chen, who is usually calm, got carried away with excitement at this moment!
