Chapter 299: Confusion (II)

"Reverse scales?" Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, although I often see this reverse scale, but if you want me to explain its meaning well, I don't know much about it.

"Legend has it that the dragon has a palm-sized scale under its neck, which takes the shape of a crescent moon, and is commonly known as the reverse scale. It is said that blood gushes out of the heart throughout the dragon's body, flows over these scales, and then disperses throughout every vein throughout the body. The reverse scale is the most sensitive and fragile part of the dragon's body, even if it is a particularly docile dragon, once it is touched by the reverse scale, it will exude infinite dragon power, and the reverse scale is the bottom line of the dragon family. There is a way that the dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will be angry. That's what I'm talking about. "Although I have never seen a dragon, this scale is so close to the description of the legend that I am afraid that it is not far from ten." ”

"I didn't expect Kun to have gone to such a realm, I always thought he was just a servant by Qiqi's side. But now that he's given me the scales, isn't he dangerous? I said.

"Although the reverse scale is the bottom line of the dragon clan, it is not their lifeline, and I still don't know if the dragon has a lifeline. When he gives you the scales, he is implying that you have entrusted your bottom line to you, that is, he will have no bottom line for you. You put this thing away, and if you use it in the future, I'm sure he will be able to respond to his needs. Grandma's tone was quite gratifying, and it seemed that I finally had something to praise in front of my grandma.

"Grandma, this is still for you, in case I am not by your side in the future, maybe you can use it." I say.

"Silly girl. Do you think this is a TV series, and I have to summon a dragon when I am in danger? None of these objects are mortal things, so the method used depends on chance. Kun handed it over to you, that is, it recognized you, you put it away, and I believe it will come in handy in the future. When did you get these dragon scales, you didn't mention it before. Grandma said.

"After I got out of the tomb, I checked my belongings and saw this, but I couldn't remember when it appeared in my backpack." Grandma nodded and insisted on refusing to accept it. There is no way. I had no choice but to put the scales away.

"By the way, grandma, if you didn't keep this." I suddenly remembered the five-color heather grass that Qiqi gave me, and I just cared about telling my grandmother what happened. But forgot to mention this. I took it out.

"It's ...... Five-color heather? Grandma said in surprise. How did you get this? ”

I just summed up Qiqi's death in just a few sentences, and now I can finally say it as it is, and I tell the ins and outs very clearly. Grandma frowned after hearing this. "What's wrong, grandma, what's wrong?" I asked.

"This grass ...... I don't know if I want to stay or ......not," my grandmother said in embarrassment.

"Grandma, I heard that this herb is a kind of medicine primer, and after mixing it with a special formula, it can be made into an elixir of life, is that so?" I asked, and Grandma nodded.

"It is said that there are three kinds of sacred grass in ancient times, all of which are grown by gathering the spirit of heaven and earth, without roots and stems, without water and soil, and can also live, which is said to be seven-color pansy, multicolored grass and crystal orchid."

"Pansy?!" The first thing that came to my mind was the story of the seven-colored flowers, and the little girl who made a wish, and my grandmother seemed to see through my mind again, and shook her head gently.

"This seven-colored pansy is said to be the seven-colored skirt of the ancient god Nuwa, when bathing in the heavenly pool, the skirt placed next to it absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, and it is transformed into a colorful fairy grass. When Nuwa came back from bathing, she couldn't find the hem of her skirt, but she saw this seven-colored fairy grass, and immediately understood what was going on. After that, Nuwa left, leaving the seven-colored fairy grass growing next to the heavenly pond in the heavenly realm. Grandma said.

"Grandma, how do you know so clearly, as if you've been through it all?" I say.

"Among the fragments left by our family, there is a volume that introduces the origin of these three kinds of fairy grass in detail, and it is also accompanied by patterns." Grandma said.

"I see." I was thoughtful.

"Crystal Orchid is the daughter of the king of the underworld, and that woman was born in the underworld, with amazing bones and extraordinary appearance." When my grandmother said it, I muttered in my head, the bones were amazing, and the appearance was extraordinary, that is, ugly, right? "But she has a bodhisattva heart, the human world suffered from the plague, she was born an immortal, that is, to cut flesh and bones, and saved a lot of human beings with her own body. In the end, she had no body, and the original god turned into a crystal, sneaked back to the underworld, took root in the soil, and finally gave birth to this crystal orchid. ”

"It's great." I sighed and said, "What about this five-color heather, what is the story?" I asked.

"Colorful grass is a token of love given by the Yellow Emperor to his ancestors. Once the Yellow Emperor went out on a tour, he met a woman who was picking mulberry leaves, and there were silkworms that were being raised, and the woman was wearing clothes made of smooth material. She said that this is a silkworm, silkworm spinning silk, and then silk to make clothes, the Yellow Emperor was very happy, at that time, human beings were still wearing leaves and fur, living a life of no clothes, so the Yellow Emperor wanted to marry the ancestor as a wife, let her teach people how to raise silkworms and make clothes. The ancestor agreed, but she asked for a token. The Yellow Emperor didn't bring anything that could be used as a token with him, he saw that there were colorful soil on the ground around him, so he collected a little bit of everything, and then made a multicolored grass with five leaves, each leaf with a different color, and gave it to the ancestor as a token. In the early days, multicolored grass could also be planted, but slowly the greed of the human heart began to be revealed, multicolored grass is priceless, and has high medicinal efficacy, for this grass tribe to fight each other. So Nuwa destroyed all the multicolored grasses, leaving only one seed, which may be planted on Qiqi's back before the gods died, as you said. Grandma said.

"Then what do you mean by staying or not staying?" I asked.

"This five-color heather, although it is an elixir, but unlike the colorful pansy and crystal orchid, it grows in the human world, and human beings don't know where the fairy world and the underworld are, so this is the only elixir they can get, for immortality, how many people have died. Therefore, the anger carried by this grass is too heavy, just like what you said about the two sides of Qiqi, and I don't know if you are taking it with you is fierce or auspicious. ”

"Leave him alone, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided. By the way, grandma, in fact, I have always wanted to ask, who wrote these files in our family? I asked.

"We Kui family have never believed in any academic morality, we only believe in ourselves. We already know too much about the things in this world, and they are not explained by any academic morality, so our family files and books are all compiled by our own family members, but by this time, we have long lost the rules for compiling family files, and no one knows what else to write. Grandma replied.

"Since these files, fragments, and books were all written by our ancestors, how did he know about them? Grandma, I've been exploring all the way, and I've always heard that the matter of the Xia Immortal clan, is our family really ...... Hi-Clan? I asked.

"I don't know, I've been searching for a lifetime, and I haven't found an answer, maybe this mystery is left to you to solve."

I nodded, but I didn't know at the time how huge the responsibility behind such a small commitment was. "By the way, grandma, there's one last thing." I said and pulled out a bronze key.

"Isn't this the bronze key? I've seen it, isn't it taken out of an agarwood box? Grandma said.

"Yes, that's right, but ......" I said with another part, which I had just brought out of the tomb.

"Found another one? Have you ever tried this, this ......" Grandma was almost incoherent.

"I've tried, I can't spell it, there's another section in the middle, what the hell is grandma?" I asked.

"I don't know, I don't have a clue, it must have something to do with our Kui family, but I didn't find any clues in all the fragments, and I didn't say a word about this strange bronze key." Grandma said.

"Maybe you'll know later, by the way, grandma, where are we going to retreat this time? Who are they carrying? I asked, and the joy was palpable, like an elementary school student who knew that he was going on a spring outing tomorrow.

"I know how to play, no one is allowed to bring it, it's just you and me, do you think this time you are going to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Grandma said solemnly.

"Then, can't you even bring thistle?" I asked.

"I said it was just the two of us!" Grandma emphasized.

"Two, people! Okay, understood. "I was secretly happy in my heart, and my heart said that this was agreed, and sure enough, if I didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence.

"Grandma, you'll take Mama Feng too, right?" I asked, who knew that as soon as I heard Mama Feng's name, Grandma's face suddenly changed, and she didn't speak for a long time but fell into a daze, I called her for a long time, and she reacted.

"Grandma, grandma!"

"Ah, what did you just ask?" She asked.

"I asked Mama Feng, you will also take her with you, then again, why don't you come to see me, really, Grandma Feng's mother, I haven't seen her recently."

She ...... She...... I asked her to complete a mission. Grandma said.

"Oh, that's right, when will she come back, we can wait for her to ......" I interrupted before I could finish my sentence.

"It's not early, you go back to your room to rest, I'll let them pick me up by car, you have a small place here, I'll go back to the hotel." Grandma said.

I don't know why, I feel that I don't want to discuss Mama Feng's matter, so I didn't continue to ask, just asked at her back.

"Where are we going to retreat?"

Grandma didn't look back and said, "Lingshan." (To be continued......)
