Chapter Forty-Eight: Fire Divine Water

After sniffing it and weighing it with the tip of his tongue for a while, Zhou Langzhong slowly said: "Young master, the taste of the water is slightly astringent, it should be because a little wild chrysanthemum has been added." Drinking it for a long time has the effect of clearing the liver and brightening the eyes. ”。

In this era, the source of tea was only in the Central Plains. And the region is only limited to South China, Southwest China, Jiangbei, Jiangnan and other places. According to the current geographical division, it is concentrated in the Southern Song Dynasty, Dali, and Jinguo.

However, due to the limitations of the times, the cultivation of tea is far less developed than that of later generations. Therefore, the tea producing areas are basically concentrated in the Southern Song Dynasty. Dali, Jinguo and other places are not climate.

Daliao, located in the interior of Central Asia, can only obtain tea from the Central Plains by land. And whether it is the eastern route from Jin Guo and Western Xia, or the western route from the sea to Khorezm, it will take a long time.

Therefore, at present, tea is still a high-end luxury product. Except for prominent dignitaries and dignitaries, or wealthy businessmen, ordinary people simply do not have the financial resources to buy tea.

This Jade Dragon Jie Chi Inn will never do that loss-making business and serve tea to people.

In this hot summer, get some chrysanthemums that clear heat and detoxify, and make tea to entertain guests.

Hearing this, Li Chengji picked up the sauce-colored teacup, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Is there really no herb next to it?" ”。

Zhou Langzhong shook his head and responded, "It should be a sideless herb!" If the young master doesn't believe it, you can find another doctor to see. ”。

Li Chengji frowned and did not respond.

Because he really can't figure it out!

If there is really only chrysanthemum, which clears heat and detoxifies, why does your heart feel hot? Although the sound of the drum seemed to be the source of the heat and dryness, he thought to himself. No matter how weird the drum sounds, you shouldn't hallucinate.

So after thinking about it, only the tea he drank made him suspicious.

When he left, he secretly took the finished teacup away. Before the water stains dried, he hurriedly asked Zhou Langzhong to inspect it.

But now listening to Zhou Langzhong's inference, the tea does not seem to be half different. I thought to myself for a while, and said a little unwillingly: "In the daytime, when I hear the sound of drums, I always have an impetuous heart, and the illusion is suddenly born?" If it wasn't for the tea, what was the reason? ”。

As he spoke, he told all about his situation at the time.

After listening to Li Chengji's story, Zhou Langzhong also lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a long time. seemed to have made some decision, and said hesitantly: "In this way, the young master's strangeness is all due to the drum, and it is stopped because of the drum?" ”。

Li Chengji answered yes and looked at Zhou Langzhong with some expectation.

I saw that he stroked his three-inch-long hair, and said with a solemn face: "When I was dancing with the spoon, I traveled all over Daliao with my father. When he crossed the Amu Darya River and arrived at the city of Baharan, he heard that there was a Jehanna (Hell of Fire) that lived underground and fed on the fire of the Netherworld.

It is the size of a three-year-old baby, has a jagged mouth, and is unusually fierce. Every male and female, if it is not born with a mutation, the earth shakes the mountains, and it is impossible to come out.

Because of its preciousness, it is hard to find.

It is rumored that the Persian royal family used to use its male insects as the main medicine, supplemented by Tianshan Snow Lotus, Broken Intestine Grass, Hibiscus and other herbs, ground into dry powder, and dried for 129 days.

Wait for it to dry completely, and then soak it in the sea water of the Khorezm Sea (Aral Sea) for three years.

From this, the secret medicine of the palace was refined--- the water of Hakham, also known as the water of the fire god.

Although this medicine is a poison, it is very different from ordinary poisons.

It is said that before the onset of the disease, the person who took the medicine was no different from ordinary people. However, if the female insect is awakened and the male insect is breathed, the person who takes the medicine will have an evil fire in his heart and desire will be born. and from the virtual to the real, and died in a hurry. ”。

"Then, according to what you say, what I have in me is the poison of the fire god water?" , Li Chengji said in surprise.

It was the first time he had heard of the name Agni Divine Water.

"Well, local rumors. The poisoner often sews the female worm into a secret medicine drum, so that the poisoner can rise and rest because of the drum.

These symptoms are very similar to those of the young master. ”。

Li Chengji immediately recalled that when Yarawachi was beating the drum nearby, there would always be a special fragrance coming from him. At that time, he only thought it was a spice used by the locals, so he didn't think much of it.

But thinking deeper, he didn't believe it, so he said suspiciously: "Are you mistaken?" This poison is so precious that it must be extremely rare. And Persia has been destroyed for a long time, and the royal family has long been gone. Where is the kind of medicine that refines this poison?

If it is said that Hu Shang alone is the power of that Hu Shang, I will never believe it!

What's more, if it is really poisoned, why is there no difference in the water? ”。

"That's the beauty of this poison!

Within half an hour, if no one drinks it, the poison will dissipate. And there is no female insect to induce, and this poison will never be endured. Even if Hua Tuo is alive, there are no signs of poisoning.

As for the origin of this poison, it is impossible to deduce it below. ”。

"Humph!" , Li Chengji slapped the table heavily, his face was gloomy. Because he didn't expect that he would be poisoned after drinking a glass of water. And the other party's methods are still so secretive. People can't grasp the handle at all.

Zhou Langzhong also nodded gloomily, indicating that he had no other way.

It was at this time that Zhuqing saw that their tea was gone, so he added water to the tea knowingly.

I didn't know that the green cup was useless, so I made a cup too.

Li Chengji looked at it and immediately shouted: "Stop!" Stop...

Zhu Qing hurriedly stopped his movements, a little unclear.

Li Chengji didn't have the heart to explain, so he hurriedly poured the tea on the ground, and said with some excitement: "Another cup!" ”。

At the same time, let Zhou Langzhong take a good look at the changes in the tea.

The moment the tea was poured in, the almost transparent mist was mixed with a few wisps of sauce-colored mist. It's easy to overlook because it dissipates quickly.

But just now, Li Chengji kept staring at the teacup, and he immediately noticed it.

Zhou Langzhong also saw this situation, and hurriedly tried it with a silver needle. Instantaneously, the silver needle turned black, which was obviously poisonous.

Li Chengji's face immediately showed irrepressible joy.

It's really 'stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them'! racked his brains to find the clues, and Zhu Qing inadvertently showed his original form.

Later, in order to verify his idea, Li Chengji used warm water and cold water to test it in turn. It was found that the teacup would only dissolve the poison when it was poured with boiling water. The other water temperatures are the same as those of ordinary teacups.

This convinced Li Chengji that the source of the poison was indeed a teacup.

So he didn't look at it anymore, and asked Zhou Langzhong to take the teacup and study it carefully.

Who knows, Li Dali came forward to report. said that Hu Shangya of the Jade Dragon Jiechi Inn, Tokoba came to the door, saying that there was something important to ask for.
