Chapter 58: All the Fowls Are Safe
"Good!" The audience erupted in a burst of cheers, the game was on, a disciple on the stage was demonstrating the elixir he had prepared, I saw him burn a pot of fragrant wood one person high with fire, burned it into a pot of dead branches, and sprinkled his own potion into the pot, and soon saw that the soil under the dead wood began to swell and roll, and with a snort, it was a small arm thick bud breaking through the ground, and growing upward with the dead branches at an astonishing speed, but in a moment the original dead wood was covered, and then it began to bloom and scatter leaves, The momentum was even more lush than the incense wood of the past. Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.
"That's amazing." The girl watched in the background, clapping her hands and turning her head at the boy.
"Awesome, awesome." The young man frowned slightly, looked at a brocade long feather in his hand and said with a smile: "If my guess is right, that person should put away the fragrant wood immediately." ”
"Why do you say that?" The girl was puzzled, but suddenly saw the mimic Fengling in the young man's hand, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did you get this?" ”
"The show girls who danced just now gave it to me." The boy smiled: "Fragrant wood is a rare spice on the island, it takes a hundred years for a seedling to grow from broken seeds to scattered incense, and the reason why it grows so slowly is not only because of its long growth cycle, but also because it needs a lot of nutrients to grow." Like him, he forcibly used medicine to grow, and the soil nutrients in the pot were not enough for the fragrant tree to grow to such a size, so although he forcibly urged it to grow, it was only barely maintained, and in a short time, the fragrant tree would fall and wither, and it would die completely, and it would be difficult to save him no matter how much potion he poured. If he really wanted to fool him, he had to quickly cover the fragrant wood and carry it down. Otherwise, it will definitely be foreign when the time comes. ”
"If that's the case, isn't your 'non-separation' the same? Could it be that the mouse's leg will suddenly fall off shortly after it is connected? The girl quipped.
"Not really." When the boy heard that the girl doubted his prescription, he couldn't help but become serious: "There is a difference between people and trees, it takes years for trees to grow in a circle, but people are not so slow, and it costs a lot to connect broken bones, but it is only exhaustion and hunger." Eat more, get some rest, and you'll be fine in no time. After a pause, he said, "As soon as you say it, I remember." Is my rat still with you? ”
"Nope." The girl shook her head and said, "Probably because I dislike you for making him unrecognizable, and I can't find a mother mouse to have a biological child, so I ran away from home." ”
"It's obviously getting a lot cuter." The young man was not convinced, and pouted: "I have used a lot of rare medicinal materials." ”
"Maybe the side effects just went unnoticed for a while. Besides, the fragrant wood on the stage has not withered. The girl smiled: "I'm afraid that you are envious of other people's prescriptions." ”
"Cut." The boy shook his head and said, "I'll envy this flashy junk prescription?" We'll see. He stopped arguing and continued to look at the situation on the stage with the girl.
Sure enough, after a while, the man took out a piece of brocade, covered the fragrant wood, and ordered someone to carry it down. When she reached the steps, the girl clearly saw two black fragrant leaves falling from them.
"It's exactly what you say." The girl's eyes widened in disbelief, "But since his potion has no practical use, why is it being displayed in this competition?" ”
"Still don't understand?" The young man snorted and laughed: "Most of them have already been mixed in, in charge of this part, and when they are inspected, they can turn a blind eye to it, and then when this potion wins, their door will naturally attract the attention of thousands of people, and this potion formula will naturally not be easily leaked to others as a secret in the door." In this way, fame and fortune are gained. It's seamless. ”
"You're saying that, right?" The girl frowned and said, "You can see it, can't the masters see it?" ”
"The masters can naturally see it, but between the various doors, they don't want to tear their faces because of this. As for the group of people in the audience, they are so far away, and they are not refined, so naturally they won't understand, but they just came to see the fun. You must know that every time you compete, except for a few inconsequential small awards, the first place has already been decided, and those masters don't know, but they know but don't say it. The boy said.
"I don't understand." The girl shook her head and said, "Since the awards are set, what's the point of holding this competition?" ”
"It wasn't like that at first." The young man smiled: "At the beginning, the purpose of the medicine test was indeed to select excellent prescriptions and promote the display of the development of medicinal arts. But some of the medicine is not refined, and the competition every year, the limelight always falls on others, and their own medicine is becoming more and more cold, and the worst one can't even recruit children every year. The skills are not as good as others, and if you don't think of other ways, then this medicine gate will disappear between the gates. ”
"Ahh The girl suddenly realized: "Cheating." They couldn't come up with a good prescription, so they bought the organizers and asked them to help. ”
"It's more than that." The young man said: "They will also visit the excellent medicine doors in the past one by one, and the prices given are different according to different strengths. ”
"I'll tell you." The girl said: "Last year, the Blood Gu Sect was obviously the medicine sect with the most hope of winning the first place, but in the end, it was unexpectedly defeated by a little-known side medicine sect. I was strange at the time, but now when I hear you say it, I understand it all. ”
"The land of an island, and so." The boy smiled: "But I don't know what the world outside the island should be like." He shook his head and said, "Man, it's such a strange thing. ”
The girl listened to the young man's sudden emotion, and she didn't know how to answer, and was hesitating, but suddenly heard her name being shouted on the stage, so she hurriedly went back to the backstage to prepare. Seeing her like this, the young man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Was you so flustered when you went on stage before?" ”
"You have to take care of it." The girl turned her head and stuck out her tongue at him and said, "Hurry up and prepare your 'non-separation', it will be you soon." ”
"I don't want to mess with all the bells and whistles." The young man also stuck out his tongue and said, "Wait a while, go up and cut off the legs of the person above, and then pick him up, and it's over." ”
"You just have a poor mouth." The girl smiled, "I'll see if you're not in a hurry later," and went backstage.
The girl slowly stepped up to the stage, waving slightly, and someone carried a fire frame to the stage. A raging fire fluttered on the shelf, and in the middle of the shelf was a strange container, and I don't know what it contained.
