Chapter 193: A Study of "Immortality".
"This is the room that the little monk is most proud of."
Sokai led Ogata and Amachi to the innermost room in the back hall, and said this in a slightly smug tone as he opened the paper sliding door of the room, revealing the scene behind the door.
After the paper door was opened by Sokai, a strong smell of medicine rushed towards Ogata and Amachi.
"What is this?" Ogata, who was shocked by the scene inside the house, narrowed his pupils slightly.
A variety of medicinal herbs, stoves and pots for boiling medicines, firewood, Western-style test tubes, and various medicines—that's what Ogata sees.
"The little monk usually studies medicine in this room."
Looking at the various things in this room, Zong Hai's eyes emitted a soft light, as if he was looking at his own child.
"Just as the female benefactor said just now - after the Heavenly Sho Sect, where the little monk took refuge, issued the 'Sword Hunting Order' in Toyotomi Taiko, our sect turned to study medicine and earned extra income by selling medicine."
"After more than 200 years of research and precipitation, my Tianxiangzong also has extremely good achievements in medicine."
"Teacher, he has learned the sword-casting technique that has been passed down from generation to generation in my Tianxiang Sect."
"And although I haven't learned this sword-casting technique, I have learned the medicine of my Tianxiang Sect."
"The two donors don't have to stand in front of the door, they can come in and visit."
After obtaining Munekai's permission, Ogata and Amachi slowly stepped into the pharmacy and carefully examined everything in the pharmacy.
"Sokai ......" Ogata picked up an empty test tube, "You have a lot of rare things...... You even have the medicine and equipment of the Nanban......"
"Oh?" Zong Hai raised his eyebrows, "Donor, do you also understand Lanxue?" ”
"I don't know much." Ogata said casually, "You must have put a lot of effort into getting these Nanban medicines and equipment, right?" ”
"That's right." Zong Hai smiled bitterly, "These Nanban medicines and equipment were all purchased from a Nanban merchant when the little monk came to this island to retreat with his teacher. ”
"The little monk originally thought that the Nanban was just a good shipbuilder, but he didn't expect that they also had good achievements in medicine. Nanban's various equipment and medicines all amazed the little monk. ”
Speaking of this, Zong Hai sighed, and then sighed:
"There are really people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky......"
"Zong Hai." While looking at the various medicinal materials stacked in the corner, Ah Machi asked Zonghai, "You said that you usually study medicines here, so what kind of medicines have you been researching lately?" ”
"I used to just study randomly."
Zong Hai said softly.
"To study the special medicine for typhoid fever and diarrhea...... In short, it is aimless and random research. ”
"This island is extremely rich in medicinal resources, so it's enough for me to squander to my heart's content."
"Until...... There were ogres on this island, and I became interested in the poisonous blood of the cannibals, so I began to devote myself to the research of medicines that can remove the 'immortal poison' in the past two years. ”
"Did your research produce anything?" Ogata asked.
"If you want to talk about results...... There are still. ”
Zong Hai smiled bitterly and took out a small jar from a cabinet.
When the jar was opened, a smell of medicine so strong that it could be described as a "foul smell" immediately poured out of the jar.
Lying quietly in the jar was a black pill the size of an adult's tail finger.
"What ...... this?" Amachi, who was smoked by the smell of the medicine, pinched his nose and frowned because he couldn't stand the smell of the medicine.
"This is a medicine made by the little monk by accident." Zong Hai said softly, "After the cannibal's blood enters the body and is infected with the 'Immortal Poison', immediately take this medicine, the medicinal properties of this medicine may be able to resist the toxicity of the 'Immortal Poison' and allow you to survive." ”
"'Maybe'?" Ogata keenly grasped a word in Sokai's sentence just now that he had to care about, "Isn't this medicine 100% clear of the 'immortal poison' in the body?" ”
"Of course not." A bitterness flashed across Zong Hai's face, "To be honest...... The little monk is not sure whether this medicine has a miraculous effect on the 'immortal poison'? After all, the little monk doesn't have enough people who have been poisoned by the immortal poison to conduct the experiment......"
"The little monk originally made 2 of these pills."
"One of the pills? Previously given to a prisoner who was accidentally attacked by a man-eater and whose blood was splashed into the wound. ”
"If ordinary people are poisoned by immortality, they will die in about a stick of incense."
And the prisoner held up...... Nearly 2 sticks of incense time. ”
"It's a pity that in the end, he died violently."
"So—this medicine should still have a therapeutic effect on the 'immortal poison'? But can this thing save your life? It's all up to destiny......"
With that, Zong Hai re-cloned the jar and closed it back in the cabinet.
……
……
After touring the entire Tenmanji Temple, Sokai led Ogata and Amachi into the guest room.
"Two donors, this room will be lent to the two of you for the time being."
"I've asked Xianhai to clean this up."
"Later, Xianhai will also bring the futon."
"The room is a little cramped? Please don't dislike it. Munekai clasped his hands together and saluted Ogata and Amachi.
"Nothing." Ogata returned the favor and said, "Would you like to let us spend the night?" How grateful are we? How can you dislike it? Besides? The room you've provided is big enough, at least a little bigger than the one I used to have in the Hirose Domain. ”
"Hehehe." Zong Hai chuckled a few times? "It's good if the two donors don't dislike it."
"Then—then the little monk won't bother the two."
"It's getting late now, and the little monk and Xianhai have always gone to bed early? So the little monk is also going to bed. ”
"Two donors? Good night. ”
With that, Sokai slowly exited the guest room that had been temporarily lent to Ogata and Amachi, and closed the door by the way.
After Munekai left the room, Amachi let out a sigh of relief and lay down on the tatami mat in a "large shape".
"That's great......," said Amachi, "I don't have to spend the night in the wilderness tonight, I can spend the night comfortably under the covers...... It's been a long time since I've slept in a warm bed......"
As soon as Amachi's words fell, Ogata also let out a long sigh:
"Me too...... It's been a long time since I've slept on a tatami mat or under a warm quilt. ”
"But although we can sleep under the covers tonight, the vigil is still indispensable."
"I know......" Ah Machi, who was lying on the tatami mat, stretched hard, "Ah Yi, who will keep watch in the middle of the night tonight?" ”
"I'll do it anyway." Without thinking, Ogata said, "Just like last night, I keep watch for the first half of the night, and you watch for the second half of the night." ”
"Good"
"Two donors."
At this moment, the voice of Xian Haide suddenly sounded outside the room.
"I've brought your futon with you."
"Ah, thank you." Ogata hurried over to the door and pulled the paper door open.
Xianhai, who is short and holding two large futons, is standing outside the door.
