Chapter 0333: Ice Cicada Beads
Under the nervous and excited gaze of the four people, the box stopped its mechanical movement, and Xue Lang looked at the rising part and looked at the contents inside.
The three grandfathers didn't look at it, but all looked down and looked underneath the raised part.
What Xue Lang saw was two well-preserved books held on a wooden plate, and a black bead.
The books, which are fastened with thin silk threads, apparently prevent them from moving. Beneath the silk thread is a leather cushion, as if fearing that the book will be cut.
And the bead, the size of a walnut and black and not slippery, was held up by a wooden pillar the thickness of chopsticks in a wooden groove on one side of the book.
Looking at it, the eighth grandfather exclaimed: "It's really ingenious, it's amazing!" ”
Xue Lang retracted his gaze, glanced at the three grandfathers, and found that they didn't even look at these things that might be treasures, but looked at the bottom of the rising part, that is, the bottom of the box.
The box opened, and although he wanted to know what the books and beads were, he also wanted to know how the ancient self-destruct mechanism was made. Of course, he wouldn't touch anything rashly.
You know, this is something passed down from the ancestors with poison, so it's better to be cautious.
Look at the bottom of the tray, just one glance, and you can see it.
The edge, is a mechanical gear, hanging around the box, I don't know what material, in the head, is a square strip of porcelain objects, several sharp things like crossbow arrows, spread side by side at the bottom of the box, the tip, facing the porcelain.
Obviously, as long as it is touched, it will crack the porcelain products, and as for what is inside, how to destroy the contents of the box, he is not interested in taking it out and studying it.
Looking at the lid of the box again, Xue Lang understood that the eight words of emotion were similar to the driving gear, in order, pushing an object under the last wooden pillar, filling the insufficient length of the last wooden pillar, and touching the device that was opened below, otherwise, it would never be reached, and the order of staggering would not work, and the object could not run to the designated position, nor could it open the box.
If you press it randomly, I guess it's okay......
Almost lying on the table and looking at the bottom of the lid, Xue Lang muttered to himself.
Only then did the fifth grandfather speak up: "Eighth brother, untie those silk threads, let the little wolf quickly take a look, what good things have been left behind by the fourth brother's master." ”
The eighth grandfather was still unsatisfied, it seemed that the treasure was not as attractive as the box itself, and when he heard this, he raised his head that was crooked, and his face was already on the table, and at the moment in Xue Lang's opinion, he carefully checked the raised wooden plate, and gently pressed a few bumps on the edge of one side.
As soon as he pressed it, the silk threads stretched vertically and horizontally on the book suddenly bounced and relaxed.
There are also organs......
Xue Lang stared at the bouncing silk thread, secretly frightened, not knowing what these meant.
The eighth grandfather picked up a pair of tweezers on the table, carefully moved the silk threads slowly, and then took off the leather stuff that was cushioned, looked up at Xue Lang, and said with a smile: "Little wolf, this is your blessing source, come and see." ”
Xue Lang rubbed his hands excitedly, looked up at the fifth grandfather and grandfather, and saw that they were all smiling kindly to indicate themselves, so he was not polite, and carefully picked up the one on it.
The cover, there is nothing, but Xue Lang can see that the age of this book will definitely not be short, even if he doesn't know the specific age of the box, the binding of the book or something, it is definitely not a modern product.
glanced at the three grandfathers again, and under the urging of the three of them, they cautiously opened the first page.
As soon as he opened it, Xue Lang's eyes lit up.
Turning over the book cover, there are a few big characters on the first page, and it seems that the "Poison Treasure Book" is related to the poison formula......
With a flash of thought, he quickly turned the first page.
The writing of the book is all brushes, although the font is traditional Chinese, and it is different from the font of Taidao, but it is almost the same, at most it is classical Chinese, so it does not delay Xue Lang's reading.
Moreover, he is too familiar with the first name on the first page, which is actually Chang'e worshipping the moon.
Sure that this was the recipe, Xue Lang didn't bother to look at it carefully, and hurriedly rummaged through it, wondering if there was anything about the colorful mist.
The three grandfathers didn't squeak, just looked at Xue Lang quietly.
After a few breaths, Xue Lang saw the formula of the Colorful Mist, and when he turned the next page, his eyes lit up.
The antidote to the colorful mist is really recorded here.
After a few words, he finished reading it quickly, and when he saw the last word, Xue Lang's heart sank.
There is no antidote to the colorful mist, and although there is a way to detoxify, it does not explain the whereabouts of the key item, the ice cicada beads.
It turns out that there is no solution to this colorful poisonous mist, and there is only one thing called Ice Cicada Beads that can detoxify the toxin and leave no residual poison.
Where can I find the ice cicada beads?
The huge expectations and instant disappointment made Xue Lang a little depressed.
The grandfathers saw the changes in Xue Lang, and the eighth grandfather asked first: "Little wolf, is it a formula?" ”
Xue Lang nodded and handed the Poison Venerable Treasure Book to the Eighth Grandfather.
The piece of leather that the eighth grandfather put in his hand took it and looked at it a few times, and he was a little stupid.
The only item that can detoxify, where can I find it on the Ice Cicada Bead?
As soon as the eighth grandfather raised his head from the book, Xue Lang's gaze happened to fall on another book on the wooden plate.
Before the eighth grandfather could speak, Xue Lang suddenly saw the black bead.
Don't......
Xue Lang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, staring at the bead, and reached out to pick it up.
He picked up the beads, and the eighth grandfather also happened to look up, and when he saw it, his eyes lit up and said, "Little wolf, this may be the ice cicada bead!" ”
"Ice cicada beads?"
The fifth grandfather and the grandfather both asked in surprise, staring suspiciously at the black bead.
Xue Lang also raised his head and looked at the eighth grandfather, I don't know if this thing is or not, don't be happy anymore, play with heartbeat, it doesn't taste good.
After the eighth grandfather finished speaking, he frowned first, reached out and took the bead and looked at it over and over, but he didn't keep saying whether it was or not.
After looking at it for a full minute, the eighth grandfather raised his head and said: "Ice cicada beads, cool to start, legend can cure all kinds of poisons, the beads are crystal clear, there is a frost cicada shadow inside, this bead doesn't look like it has been smeared with anything, but if the rumors are true, then this bead is not ......"
No......
Grandpa and Fifth Grandpa both exhaled a breath of turbidity, a little lost. I thought it was to be able to see the legendary things, and it was definitely in vain, but unfortunately it wasn't, and it was empty joy.
Xue Lang was even more disappointed. It seems that even if the fourth grandfather's secret treasure is opened, it will not be able to solve the poison of the colorful mist.
Sighing, Xue Lang didn't go to pick up the book that Grandpa Eighth put down, but reached out to pick up the rest of it.
As soon as I opened it, it was really the next volume, with four big characters in it, "Under the Poison Zun Treasure Book" Under the Poison Zun Treasure Book!
Xue Lang was overjoyed, and estimated that there should be clues to solve the problem here.
Thoughts flickered, and I quickly flipped through them.
As he looked through it, his heart gradually became cold again.
In this book, the first page is ylang-ylang, and there are similar drugs in the back, as well as some tonic formulas for strengthening the body, and some prescriptions for curing diseases according to the name, but there is nothing about poisons.
All right......
Xue Lang had no intention of reading it in detail, and at the moment it seemed to his grandfathers, he closed the book, shook his head, and handed it over.
The eighth grandfather took it and quickly flipped through it, handed it to the fifth grandfather, and picked up the secret book and flipped it up from the beginning.
Xue Lang took a deep breath, picked up the bead again, and looked at it over and over, I don't know what this bead is for, if it is not important, how can it be passed down as a secret treasure of the master.
Looking at it, the eighth grandfather, who was looking through the secret book, suddenly put down the book, grabbed the piece of leather, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, opened the folded place again, looked at it carefully, looked at it for a while, and then pinched those fine silk threads with tweezers and looked at it carefully.
Suddenly, Grandpa Eight stood up and quickly entered the back room.
Xue Lang and the two grandfathers didn't know what the eighth grandfather remembered, but they both felt that there might be something new to discover.
Seeing the eighth grandfather returning quickly, holding a small bottle, they all stood up.
The eighth grandfather said as he walked: "Little wolf, come and get a basin of water." ”
"Okay Eighth Grandpa."
Xue Lang promised to bring a basin of water as fast as possible.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Grandpa Eight poured the powder in the bottle into the water a little.
As soon as the powder entered the water, the clear water suddenly began to slowly turn blue, and in just a few seconds, it slowly turned from thick to light, Shaoqing, and returned to its original clarity.
Isn't this the developing drug that the fourth grandfather used in his hand?
Xue Lang didn't know why, staring at the movements of the eighth grandfather, guessing if these books were going to be put into the water.
Is there still a hidden handwriting in the book?
But then he was shocked, and when the water was clear, the eighth grandfather picked up the piece of leather, slowly put it into the water, spread it flat, and pressed it with his fingers to soak it all in the water.
This......
Xue Lang's thought flashed, and before all the questions could arise, he suddenly paused.
The moment that something a bit like sheepskin was slowly soaking through, suddenly, there was a faint handwriting on it, and as the eyes of Xue Lang and the two grandfathers widened, the handwriting became clearer and clearer.
The Poison Venerable Secret Codex!
Everyone's eyes widened.
This piece of sheepskin, which is not easy to determine, actually has the Poison Zun Secret Book written on it, and with the clear handwriting, the Secret Book not only records a lot of poisons, key steps of the formula of the drug, or the collection of raw materials, such as the collection of ylang-ylang, although it still needs to be the day of the leap year, but a potion can be used to make the collection faster and more effective.
After looking at this side carefully, the eighth grandfather carefully turned the skin over with tweezers, and after a look, he realized that this side was the front.
There isn't much recipe-related stuff on this side, but it just talks about how to use the ice cicada beads, and how to remove the wrapping things on the outside, and explains the reason why this piece of fish skin remains.
It turns out that this is the secret treasure of the fourth grandfather's master's inheritance, and it is the inevitable measure that the poison venerable is worried about falling into the hands of outsiders, once those silk threads cut the skin, the medicine will not be able to show the handwriting, and there will be no key place for the formula, and there will be no ice cicada beads that can cure all kinds of poisons.
Those items wrapped around the beads are not afraid of fire or corrosion, and they cannot be scraped off unless the beads are damaged. With this protective layer, the beads are of no use unless they are soaked in a special agent.
However, the handwriting on the fish skin is a unique formula of the fourth grandfather's master, so if it falls into the hands of outsiders, the beads and the key to the formula will not be lost.
Beads aside, the formula does not have these keys, and it is quite difficult to prepare, and it is also quite dangerous, and it will poison the person who makes the potion.
It's a lot of work......
Xue Lang secretly admired, and then ecstatic.
In this way, isn't it possible to solve the poison of the colorful mist?
