Chapter Eighty-Six: Jizo Snow Lotus
At this time, there were more and more white shadows in front of me, and a terrifying feeling instantly spread all over my body, and I felt so dazed for the first time, like a child who had just left its swaddling clothes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I had no idea what I was holding the candle for, and among the three of us, I was supposed to be the protector, but now the most important eye problem has put everyone in a predicament, and I feel very uncomfortable.
"Hey, it smells so good!" Yu Aiting suddenly said this.
Uncle Liu nodded and said, "Well, it seems to have come from the front." ”
I was skeptical of everything in the dark, because it was probably just a hallucination, and I reminded, "Don't forget that we were tricked into eating a feast in the Yellow Fairy Aunt's nest. ”
Yu Aiting said: "No...... The smell should not be hallucinatory, as if it was the smell of some kind of Chinese herb. ”
She sniffed ahead, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I remember, this is the smell of snow lotus!" ”
"Tianshan Snow Lotus?!" Uncle Liu suddenly came to his senses, but he quickly frowned: "Be careful, it is impossible for the Tianshan Snow Lotus to grow in the hinterland of the Central Plains, let alone grow underground, and it really makes the little brother right, it must be an illusion." ”
"Who said that it is the Tianshan Snow Lotus, the Snow Lotus is divided into many kinds, the Tianshan Snow Lotus is just one of them, not only Kunlun Mountain, Changbai Mountain, Himalayas, but there are many cold places, but because of the great medicinal effect, the supply exceeds demand, and the growth environment is extremely harsh, so many varieties are extinct, this underground belongs to the cold place, should belong to the Tibetan Snow Lotus, it is the same as other snow lotus varieties, the requirements for light are not high, the harsher the environment, the colder the place is easier to grow. I heard my mother say that there was once an old farmer in the joint pharmacy of our hospital who came to sell a snow lotus from Jizo, because it was too cherished, and it was not of much practical value after drying, so it was always stored as a specimen in the pharmacy, and then it was accidentally stolen by thieves. In other words, the Jizo Snow Lotus still exists. ”
When I heard the words, I thought of a possibility in my heart, my heart couldn't help pounding, and I suppressed my excitement and asked, "Can Xuelian cure me and Uncle Liu's illness?" ”
Yu Aiting spared no effort to analyze: "Snow lotus is cold, specializing in fire evil, whether it is fever, body heat, or heartburn, it has miraculous effects, and it can also effectively treat the fire poison in mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants, and it is even said that patients who are scalded and burned can even remove scars and muscles, it can be said that it is a representative of cold drugs." I don't know what is in your eyes, but the place where you and Uncle Liu were bitten by fire ants can definitely be treated, and even the injury on Uncle Liu's leg can prevent infection and inflammation and speed up healing. ”
In this way, this snow lotus is really a miracle medicine, I really didn't expect to have such a magical situation in this desperate situation, and for a while, my dead heart ignited a spark of hope again, and my body was inexplicably full of strength.
I stood up, ignoring the white shadows floating in front of me, and walked forward with Uncle Liu with Yu Aiting, the more I walked forward, the more real the fragrance became.
The cold aroma is not pungent, it smells refreshing, and it is indeed the best in the snow lotus.
After walking forward for about five minutes, the passage was at its end, and a moat cut off the passage, and we had never let our guard down, otherwise we would have to fall.
I stretched out my head to look at my feet, this abyss was dark and deep, I couldn't see the bottom at a glance, the light of the candle was limited, and I couldn't see the situation below until I was about five meters away.
"Look, Jizo Snow Lotus!" Yu Aiting's eyes are the best, pointing diagonally upwards and saying to us.
When I looked up, I saw four chains spanning the cliff, two on each side of which were fastened to the four corners of a golden chest, and then fastened to the crevices in the stone above the passage.
In this way, these chains are a big fork hanging above the head, and a snow-white flower grows upside down under the gold chest, at this time the flower is blooming, and the fragrance is fragrant, just like Yu Aiting said about the snow lotus in the ground!
It's just strange that how can this snow lotus grow upside down? The flowers point to the abyss, and it looks like this should be artificially built and planted, who would plant a snow lotus in such a place?
Of course, I haven't raised the following questions for the time being, and the most important thing now is to get the snow lotus first, and then talk about the rest.
Before I could speak, Yu Aiting said: "It's really the Jizo Snow Lotus, the Jizo Snow Lotus absorbs the essence of the leylines, likes the flowers to hang down and grow, the Jizo Snow Lotus has a long growth cycle, an average of 30 years to bloom, each flowering period is only nine days, the rhizome will not wither after the petals wither, will continue to grow new flower bones, so repeatedly, endlessly, it is said that the color of the petals will become lighter every time the flower opens, the thousand-year-old snow lotus is transparent, and the food has the effect of rejuvenation, and the critically ill people have the legendary magical ability to resurrect the dead, We're really in time, this Jizo snow lotus has already bloomed, it's best to pick and take it immediately, but ...... How do you pick this? ”
She was born into a family of medicine, what she said was naturally true, what she said was so magical, it aroused my interest more and more, I knew what she was worried about, and hurriedly said: "If nothing else, we rely on it to save our lives now, even if it is dangerous, we must strive to pick it up!" ”
Although I said so, but when I handed over the candle to Yu Aiting, I was a little frightened when I saw the abyss below, there was no way, there was no way back now, only by letting go of the fight could I win a glimmer of life.
Thinking like this, I clenched my teeth, moved my muscles, squatted slightly, jumped up violently, grabbed the chain above the hole with one hand, and took advantage of this explosive force, slammed my foot against the wall, and rolled over on the chain with a swing.
My drastic movement made the gold chest in the middle of the chain shake violently, and Uncle Liu said: "Alas, be careful, don't shake the snow lotus off." ”
I secretly scolded this conscienceless person in my heart, I risked my life for our survival, it is not easy to climb up with one hand, don't worry about me, and worry about the snow lotus.
Thinking about it, I don't have the strength to talk back to him, or Yu Aiting is more emotional, she advised: "Pay attention to safety, try not to look down, don't force yourself, come back if you can't do it." ”
Even if I climb with both hands, it is difficult to turn around on the chain, and now I am in this situation with no turning back from the bow, I can only move forward, not backward, I nodded to her, and explained: "I mean, if I fall, you will burn me more paper in the future, I am afraid of poverty." ”
Under the light of the candlelight, her eyes were slightly glistening with tears, and she said, "How can I live without you?" You must come back alive. ”
Although I know that this sentence has no other meaning, but this kind of trust and sense of responsibility that is tied to my life makes me think a lot, she and Uncle Liu's lives are in my hands, success or failure is in one move, and, if it weren't for my intervention, she should be in the Three Gorges at this time to visit the great scenery of the motherland, how can she end up in such a life and death situation? She never complained about me from beginning to end, and that alone was enough to move me.
I suddenly felt some itching in the corners of my eyes, I blinked my eyes vigorously, took a deep breath and moved forward, my legs twisted on the chains and swam slowly, the chains trembled slightly, making a 'whoosh' sound, as if applause from the ghosts of the abyss below.
