Chapter 258: Hidden Immortal Medicine

"Five-colored heather?!" It was Ji Ziyang who exclaimed, and the expression on his face was really surprised and exaggerated that I had never seen before.

"What? Ziyang, do you know this plant? I've never heard of it. "I wondered, but Ziyang has been in existence for thousands of years and has been involved in various fields, so it is not surprising that he knows such a rare herb. I looked at Kun, and his face was also gloomy, and I couldn't tell why.

"Girl, it doesn't matter if you don't know this grass, come forward and take a closer look." Poor said, Ziyang nodded at me, and I walked up boldly again, this time I not only looked carefully, but even reached out and touched it. This plant has no side branches, only a stem, which suddenly emerges from the back of Qiqi, whose limbs are now stiff and roots grow under his feet, which shows that this plant uses Qiqi's entire body as a rhizome. There are no flowers and no fruits at the top of the plant, only five leaves grow, the leaves feel oily in the hand, much like the texture of leather, each leaf is long oval, the edge has a fine zigzag shape, the edge of each leaf is green, but the position of the center of the leaf is different colors, which are red, yellow, green, blue, purple five different colors.

"This leaf is so beautiful." I sighed.

"How did this thing end up with you?" Ziyang asked.

"I can only say that this is a chance." Poor said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ziyang asked puzzled.

"I'm running out of time anyway, and you happen to be here. My last words can be regarded as being listened to, so let me tell you to hear them. Poor said, his voice began to grow a little old, "Sit down, I'll speak slowly." The poor words were full of pleading, and Kun and Ziyang sat on the ground, and I also walked to Ziyang's side and sat down.

"My mother was a buffalo spirit, and the reason why she became a sperm was because Nuwa Niangniang created humans and taught people how to farm, but human power was limited. A wild land. It was very difficult to cultivate, so my mother volunteered to help humans plow the land, and perhaps it was with this ideological consciousness that my mother became a demon. That may be the earliest demon that appeared in this world. Possessed mana. My mother began to be unscrupulous. She showed mercy at every turn, and eventually gave birth to me and Qi, but we were born freaks with dual personalities living in one body. For this, my mother used almost all of his mana. In the end, before the gods returned, my mother took me and Qi to look for Nuwa Niangniang, and Nuwa said that we were originally because of the evil deeds that my mother had done and achieved evil karma, so it was difficult to get rid of them. At that time, Nuwa helped me on the back, she said, this child is born with demon bones, the long life span is unmatched, he is like two demon souls living in one body is also a kind of torture and harm to himself, I can't save him, now give him a five-color heather grass, if one day he meets someone who is destined, this grass takes root and sprouts, it is the day of liberation from this evil obstacle. Don't make a mistake in reincarnation in the next life, even if it's a grass, it's good. Poor said so.

"There is such a thing, no wonder Qin Shi Huang searched for rare treasures all over the world, but he didn't find this five-colored heather, I didn't expect the seed of this thing to be in your body, how could I find it." Ziyang said.

"Ziyang, you mentioned Qin Shi Huang just now, why is Yingzheng also interested in five-color heather?" I asked.

"The five-color heather grass is a fairy grass that exists in legends, how can there be no interest." Ziyang said.

"What's the use of this grass for him?" I asked.

"Nature is for immortality." Kun said on the side, Ziyang nodded and continued to add.

"Back then, Ying Zheng unified the six countries, almost swept away all hostile forces, and even hidden families like you and me were uprooted, his main purpose, in addition to unifying the six countries and consolidating his hegemony, is to seek a way to live forever. Ying Zheng has exhausted all his life, and the only thing he is afraid of losing is his own life, so he searched everywhere for secret techniques that can make him immortal. Just after he eradicated the Ji clan and our Yin and Yang family, he successively eradicated many such tribal groups, and then studied the collected classics, and finally sorted out three sets of formulas that may be able to make people immortal. The first is said to be a plant that gathers the aura of heaven and earth called Flesh Lingzhi, which is commonly known as Tai Sui, and it is said that as long as you eat this, you can live forever. The second is that there is a recipe, which lists ninety-nine precious medicinal materials, plus three medicinal primers, namely the crystal orchid cultivated in the underworld, the seven-colored Jin cultivated in the heavenly realm, and the colorful grass that blooms in the world. It is said that these three herbs can find one, as a medicine primer, and then decoction of the medicinal materials prepared before, can also be immortal, the colorful grass in this refers to the five-color heather. Ji Ziyang said.

"This thing is so rare, huh? No wonder Yingzheng couldn't find it, it actually grew on Qiqi's body. I said.

"You said there are three ways, but what about the last one?" Kun asked.

"The last one is not a drug, just a place, where no one knows, it is said that as long as mortals reach that place, they can live forever, but I don't know if this place really exists." Ziyang said, "Didn't Ying Zheng send Xu Fu and Lu Sheng to find the formula for the elixir for him, I guess they should have divided their troops into two ways, one way to find that place, and the other to try to find the hidden elixir, but obviously both teams failed, so that Ying Zheng's wishful thinking also failed." ”

"Poor, you just said that when this grass grows on your body, it will be ......" I asked sadly, at this time Poor had changed a lot, his legs had become like tree stumps, and his hind legs were covered with bark and moss.

"Yes, it's finally coming to an end, maybe for you humans, this is life and death, but I, Qi, and Kun, we've all lived for too long, and it's not necessarily good to end like this." Poor said.

"Why this time?" Kun asked.

"Nuwa said that she wanted to find someone who was destined, just now this girl was injured by me, her blood may be the guide to nourish this five-colored heather, it seems that God will do so, I am bound to end up in the hands of this girl." Poor even said this in a joking tone at this time.

"But...... I ......, "I don't know what to say for a while."

"Girl, since you and I are destined, wait for a while and when I am completely dispersed, you will take this five-colored heather grass, it will be useful in the future, and then, come back to see Kun for me from time to time, even if you are mortal, send your descendants here, so as not to be lonely here." Poor said.

"I have my own way of life, I want you to be here, mother-in-law." Kun said angrily, maybe they really lived too long, and their reaction to the separation of life and death was not so strong, so we silently watched Qi Qi's huge body, with two hind legs standing upright, turning into a tree, and only these five leaves grew on the bare trunk. Eventually, the green of the top edges of the five leaves faded, and the process of growth was over, and the whole tree turned into powder before our eyes. I looked at the dust that gradually dissipated, some silvery-white and some red, like poor and strange, and the two of them could not be separated for the rest of their lives.

"Shh......h Shh......h The ghost glaze slowly devoured everything, and by the time I could see it again, I was standing in a burial chamber with walls made of a stone that was close to crimson, and I guess it was the heart stone. There was a door in front of me, just a dilapidated wooden door, unlocked, and on the ground in front of me lay a grass, a magical five-colored heather that had no roots, but did not wither. Ziyang followed behind me, and behind him stood Kun.

"I'll send you here, after this gate is the Yongdao, your friends are already in the Yongdao, they will naturally wake up when they feel your breath." I looked at Kun, and he put on the colorful fish scale coat again, as if he felt very cold, and his face was still the same as a beautiful young man, but there was a little more dead air between his eyebrows.

"What are you going to do in the future?" I asked.

"What else can I do? Continue to stay here, maybe one day I will be like poor, turned into powder, until then all I have to do is to guard this place, if you are destined, if you return the same way, I promise that you will see exactly the same scene as when you were poor. Kun was a little lonely when he said this, "Also, if your descendants are willing to come, I welcome it." ”

I looked at Kun and smiled, and finally this fish spirit who had lived for thousands of years still couldn't help but feel afraid of loneliness, "By the way, this five-colored heather grass is better for you to keep, I'm afraid this is the only thing you use to remember being poor." I said and handed over the five-colored heather.

"No, no, no, you should take it, this grass is destined for you, if you give it to me like this, maybe it will die tomorrow." Kun said and sent us to the dilapidated wooden door, we opened the door, there was a flow of air inside, a gust of wind blew in the face, the corridor was pitch black, Kun waved his hand, there were countless small pearls hanging in the air in the corridor in front of him.

"Let's go, I'll give you another ride." Kun said, we didn't look back into the road, and there are some people who don't need any ceremony, simple, plain is the best, the wooden door slowly closed behind us, behind the sound of the bone flute, not the ancient tune I heard before, this one is more mournful and melodious, that is Kun's endless mourning for the poor. (To be continued......)
