Chapter Fifty-Eight: Half of the Book in the Bat Cave

The vitality of the Jiao Shark was stronger than Xie An imagined, and after the boat sailed back to the island, they rested for the night, and when they set sail on the tide in the early morning, the wound of the Jiao Shark nourished by hemostatic herbs no longer bleeds, and obediently went to the mysterious cave under the guidance of the mermaid lamp.

According to the pharmacist, the cave is in the island, and the nearby sea area is guarded by sharks, which will fog for no reason and be mysterious.

So far, Xie An has not found out the true identities of these two brothers, how can an ordinary doctor go to the sea to study medicine? And the stone island that requires a mermaid lamp and a guide shark to reach, ordinary people have no luck to bump into it, and it is even more coincidental that there is also a Penglai medical dictionary called "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the cave of Shidao.

The sea is not as good as the land route, and it was originally said that they would be able to return in five or six days, but now they have been floating on the sea for four days before they can see the shadow of Shidao.

Xie An was lying on the bow of the boat facing the sunset sea breeze, the sea surface was half golden and half dark blue, the stone island loomed in the sea fog, and the sea surface could faintly see the shadow of a large swimming fish swimming by, and the boat and people became small and fragile in the sea.

When they landed on the island, the sea avoided the sharks, and when they disembarked, they released the poor sharks into the sea.

The entrance to the cave containing the Penglai medical code is very eye-catching, seemingly natural, but there are traces of human carving, showing that it was indeed inhabited many years ago.

They entered the cave after a short rest.

As soon as he entered the cave, the pharmacist commanded, "Try not to make a sound, the stone walls in this cave are full of bats." ”

Bats have the habit of hibernating, but they don't sleep too deeply, they eat and excrete, and even if they wake up, they will immediately return to normal, but there should be a lot of bats in this cave, and if the movement is too loud, they will all wake up and attack people.

Xie An took out the fire fold of the brass cylinder and followed behind the pharmacist, Rao was so, and when he accidentally saw the dense picture of small creatures leaning together in the faint light, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Even if it's not an intensive phobia, it can be disgusting.

However, bat feces are also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, called luminous sand, which can treat several eye diseases, Bai Zhou's eyelids are in need of this medicine, at this time, even Ge Hong did not know the use of luminous sand, Xie An still wrote it down inadvertently in his previous life, just because the name luminous sand is good.

It looks like I'm going to pick up some luminous sand on the ground when I leave.

Xie An's mentality was very indifferent, which made Ah Jin, who seemed to have claustrophobia, a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but follow him and said, "If you are afraid, hold on to me." ”

Xie An turned around and saw Ah Jin's slightly pale face, "It's okay to laugh at you if you're afraid of the dark, but don't grab my wrist hard, don't you know that you have a lot of strength?" ”

Bai Zhou and Angkor, who were following behind Ah Jin, laughed softly.

Ah Jin, who is quiet on weekdays, rarely reveals the youthful side, but invisibly shortens the distance between each other.

Ah Jin let go of Xie An's hand slightly, biting his lip tightly, and his breathing became heavier and heavier as he walked deeper and deeper.

But fortunately, this narrow and dark corridor is not too long, and when the sound of water dripping into the pool gradually became clear, Xie An's eyes lit up and he saw a faint pool.

The moisture of the sea collects on the roof of the cave, and from the stalactite tip it falls down to the pool, and the source of the water is fish.

The fish that can shine in the deep sea are common in the East China Sea, such as sea ghost fish, candlelight fish, etc., Xie An only knows that the sea ghost fish is also called anglerfish, which is a delicacy that is called the same as the pufferfish.

But the delicacy could not distract him, because when he walked to the edge of the pool, he was completely attracted by an object.

There is a flat boulder protruding from the pool, on which is a man in red sitting cross-legged.

The man in red's long hair fell like seaweed, covering his face, and the skeleton should be a man, and he couldn't tell the gender, nor could he tell if there was a pile of white bones under the red clothes.

He had half of the book on his lap, which should be the other half of the medical book in the pharmacist's arms.

Xie An's attention was not on the Penglai Medical Codex, the cold breath in the cave made him tremble, and he turned around and was about to catch someone to speak boldly, but he didn't expect Angkor Ah Jin Baizhou to follow, and the pharmacist said to let them wait for them at the exit of the Yongdao.

The pharmacist smiled at him with relief, "Don't be afraid, he's dead." ”

Xie An subconsciously asked, "How long have you been dead?" ”

"My brother and I strayed here fifteen years ago, and he was dead."

"Fifteen years ago...... Also such a clean red coat? ”

Where there is air in the world, there must be dust, this corpse is so red but there is no sign of dust, red like a new stained dress, the skirt is wide to cover the whole stone, and a small brass mermaid lamp behind him emits a yellowish light, exactly the same as the one in the hand of the pharmacist.

And looking at this person's clothing style, it is not like the Jin Dynasty's popularity, the Jin Dynasty's clothing inherited the style of the Han Dynasty, which is more gorgeous, but this person is wearing less today's elegant style.

"Fifteen years ago, it was true," the pharmacist sighed slightly, his eyes revealing longing, "Maybe he really came from Penglai Pavilion, and the immortals will not die, but he has no breath anymore." ”

"Are there really immortals in this world?" Xie An was a staunch materialist in his previous life, Xunzi once said that man will conquer the sky, Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty also said that the sky is natural and inaction, and the gods are destroyed without ghosts, and a hundred years later, the Southern Dynasty has the famous Fan Zhen's "Theory of Divine Annihilation" to inherit the materialist view. But after coming to this world, the existence of Xuan Xiu and Penglai Pavilion made him shake again and again.

So Xie An is a little confused.

The pharmacist said solemnly: "Since Xiao Langjun knows that there are fish lanterns, he must have heard that Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fudong to the sea to find immortal medicine. ”

"The place where Xu Fu went to find was Penglai, the abbot and the three immortal mountains of Yingzhou, and after returning, Xu Fu also said that there were Jiaoyu on the way to find Penglai Immortal Mountain...... Now there are also Jiaoyu guarding outside this stone island, and it can be guessed that this must be an immortal who can understand the language of fish, so that Jiaoyu guards it. ”

"This Penglai Pavilion is on Penglai Island, but there have been rumors since the Han Dynasty."

Xie An muttered: "Legend has it that Penglai Island is in the Bohai Sea, and this is the East China Sea, so it's a little far away." ”

The pharmacist seemed to have a bigger and bigger brain, "Immortals can walk against the wind, these are not a distance. ”

Xie Anxin secretly said, "Zi is silent, strange and confused", and couldn't help asking: "Is this person still flesh?" ”

The pharmacist kindly reminded Xie An of the task of this trip, "Wouldn't Xiao Langjun just go and take a look?" ”

Fifteen years ago, the two brothers suffered from a strange illness because of reading the Penglai Medical Codex, one of them had a heat barrier and a poisonous heart, and one of them had cold and premature aging, and now the remaining half of the medical code is in front of him, but the pharmacist never dared to risk the remaining half of his life.

When you arrive at the center of Youtan, there are several stones to settle on, which are the stones that the Si brothers moved from the island together, Xie An stepped on the stone pile bridge under the eager gaze of the pharmacist, and successfully came to the red-clothed man.

The swimming fish swam on the stone stakes at his feet, the world was so quiet that only the sound of his breathing and the slow flow of water could be heard, and the distant sound of the sea tide persistently reached his ears through the dark corridors of the cave, and the faint light illuminated the jaw of the man in red, revealing his creamy skin, like a living person.

But when he got closer to the red-clothed man, he realized that half of his body exuded a cold aura, and the other half was slightly warm, which was in line with the illness of the two brothers of the Si family.

Sure enough, stealing books is punishable, right?

After repeatedly confirming that there was no sign of poison on the body and half of the medical canon on the man in red, Xie An switched to the method of breathing and breathing in Xuan Xiu, and a sweet and cool jin appeared between his tongue, keeping the Lingtai clear, and carefully reaching out to pick up the book from the lap of the man in red.

"I hope the deceased will forgive me." Xie An muttered.

The book was already half-opened, and the broken thread moved slightly without wind when Xie An's hand touched it, his gesture suddenly froze, and he suddenly raised his eyes, and suddenly found that this person was looking at himself in the shadows covered by long hair!
