Chapter 66: Two Kinds of "Manifestation"
Chapter 66
"Brother Dou Ba, the blue water you are talking about...... Will...... Is this it? ”
Deng Si'er took out his small glass bottle used to hold the blue "Manifest Truth" from his body, put it on the table, pushed it in front of Dou Ba with his hand, and asked in an unsteady voice.
"What is this?"
Before Dou Ba could understand what the three of them were saying, he saw Deng Si'er suddenly take a small bottle out and show it to him, so he asked suspiciously.
"You open it and see what's in there, and you understand." Zuo Idiot said.
Dou Ba nodded obediently, reached out and took the small bottle on the table in his hand, and then took the small bottle to look left and right, and saw that the small bottle was nothing unusual except for its delicate and beautiful appearance, so he opened the bottle cap and smelled it.
"It doesn't smell good." Dou Ba said suspiciously.
The mouth of the bottle was too small, and Dou Ba couldn't tell what was inside.
"You pour out some and see."
Chu Jing said, lifted the lid of his teacup, turned it upside down and put it on the table in front of Dou Ba, and said.
Dou Ba immediately raised the small bottle to him following Chu Jing's words, and seeing that the eyes of the three of them were staring at him, Dou Ba couldn't help but carefully pour out a drop.
"It's ......!"
Dou Ba looked at the liquid in front of him, although the amount was very small, but the color was distinct, and said in astonishment.
"It seems that the blue potion they poured you drank was 'revealed'."
Zuo Idiot turned his head and glanced at Deng Si'er, then turned back and glanced at Chu Jing, and said in a deep voice.
"True?" Dou Ba looked at the three people who obviously knew what this thing was, and hurriedly asked.
"That's right, they poured the blue potion you drank, and the name was 'Manifestation'." Zuo Idiot said.
"You ...... How did this come to be? The surprise on Dou Ba's face did not decrease in the slightest, but increased a few points, and his eyes widened even more.
"This thing...... It is not very difficult to get it, on the contrary, anyone who has some ability can get it. Chu Jing also spoke.
"Easy to get?! How is this possible? It has such a strange effect that it can make people lose their minds, how can it be so easy to get?! Dou Ba's eyes were full of disbelief.
"You don't have to be so surprised, because this thing is just a potion with special effects, and although it is expensive, it is by no means a rare thing." Chu Jing patted Dou Ba's shoulder, and then said:
"This blue potion was once made by the head of Chongyang Academy when he accidentally dispensed medicine, and he found that this potion could cover up ink stains, so he kept it and named it Chongyang Academy, and since then it has been a unique symbol of the academy."
"Can you cover up the ink?" Dou Ba asked suspiciously.
"That's right, but if you write in ink, you can smear the potion and cover it, obscure the contents of the paper, and use it to send the secret message. By placing the letter over the candle flame and lightly curing it, the handwriting will resurface. Chu Jing explained.
"Is there such a thing? I haven't even heard of it?! Dou Ba looked at Chu Jing in surprise, he didn't expect that there was a potion in the world that concealed handwriting?
"Maybe the purpose of this potion is too secretive, so it is not publicized, but any wealthy businessman, or the royal family and magnates, as long as they can afford to pay, can buy it from Chongyang Academy, so this item is not difficult to find." Chu Jing thought for a while and said.
"If it's just what you say, this blue potion is used to hide handwriting, but why is it ...... Yes...... There is such a ......" Dou Ba's eyes were complicated, looking at Zuo Idiot, and he didn't want to think about everything he had suffered for a moment.
Because, that experience, in Dou Ba's heart, he thought that those strange behaviors were no longer a person, but a monster who had lost his mind, only knew how to fight cruelly, his eyes were full of blood, and there was no trace of humanity at all.
"This ...... I think it may have something to do with alcohol. Zuo Idiot frowned and thought about it, supported his chin with his left hand, looked at the three of them and said.
"Wine? Could it be osmanthus stuffed? Chu Jing immediately guessed what Zuo Zhi meant, put it down and hurriedly asked.
"Osmanthus stuffed? What does this have to do with osmanthus brewing? Deng Si'er was also at a loss, why did he have anything to do with osmanthus brewing?
"Idiot, you say, let's all listen." Chu Jing stretched out his hand to hold Deng Si'er, and said to Zuo Idiot in a deep voice.
Zuo Idiot nodded, removed his left hand supporting his chin, sat upright, with a serious expression, and said slowly:
"It's just my guess, because I found this in the dark room of the warehouse."
As he spoke, Zuo Idiot took out a small porcelain vase from his arms, put it on the table, and continued:
"Deng Si'er, after you were separated, Uncle Jing and I didn't rush to look for you, but advanced to the warehouse in the Song Mansion, and then found that there was a dark room inside......
While thinking about it, Zuo Idiot told all the things that happened to him and Chu Jing after they were separated from Deng Si'er, as well as all the scenes they saw when they entered the warehouse of the Song Mansion.
"I entered the dark room and found that there were two rows of elevated shelves, which were neatly placed with such small porcelain bottles, and after I opened them, I found that the contents were 'Xianzhen', I thought that these were all about the potion trade in the academy, so I didn't care about it at first, so I didn't tell Uncle Jing." Zuo Idiot said.
Chu Jing nodded and didn't say much.
After Zuo Jing finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Jing, and opened the porcelain vase he took out from the dark room of the Song Mansion, and like Chu Jing, poured some on the lid of his teacup, and then continued:
"Dou Ba, look at this, this ...... But it's the same blue potion you drank? ”
Seeing that Zuo Idiot suddenly asked himself, Dou Ba hurriedly leaned over and took a closer look, but the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Dou Ba moved the lid of the teacup closer to himself, and sure enough, he still felt that something was wrong, so Dou Ba raised his head and said:
"Although this looks blue, it is slightly different from the blue potion I have drunk."
"Different colors? Could it be that it's not blue? Didn't you say blue water? How is it different again? Deng Si'er immediately asked when he heard this.
"Deng Si'er, don't worry, I think that the difference that Dou Ba said is not that there is a difference in the intuitive color of the potion, but that the shade of blue is different."
Chu Jing is an old Jianghu in the end, and the meaning of Dou Ba's words can be heard only once.
"That's right, what Uncle Jing said is exactly what I want to say, you see."
As he spoke, Dou Ba took the little potion that Deng Si'er poured out of his glass bottle before and put it together with the lids of the two teacups that Zuo Idiot poured out of the small porcelain bottle, although it was night now, the candles in the room were bright, and everyone could still see clearly.
Sure enough, the potion in the lid of Zuo's teacup was much lighter in color and luster than the potion poured out before.
Deng Si'er looked at Zuo Idiot in surprise and asked puzzledly:
"This ...... It's the same 'show of truth', how can it be different? ”
