Chapter 2 Stone Heart Flower
The moonlight hanging in the middle of the sky means that it is already night.
"Yao Lao, then let's go back." Nangong Yunyao said to Yao Lao, who was reading a book.
Yao Lao replied: "Well, you should be careful on the road. ”
"Goodbye Yao Lao!" Xiao Meng, who was following behind Nangong Yunyao, was waving her little hand at this time.
Along the creek next to Yao's house all the way down is Nangong Yunyao's house, the silver hair in the moonlight is very handsome with the breeze, and the road is also white, don't worry about walking in the dark.
"Brother Yao, see you tomorrow."
At this time, she had arrived at Xiaomeng's house, and after seeing her in, Nangong Yunyao continued to walk down according to the memory in her mind.
The first thing you see is a house made of stones below, and many large skeletons above, the roof is covered with animal skins, and looking at these skeletons and animal skins, these monsters are several times larger than the elephants on the earth when they were alive.
The area of the house is about 50 square meters, and the room exudes an enticing smell of barbecue, which makes people drool when they smell it.
Nangong Yunyao hesitated back and forth at the door in front of the house, thinking that it was this body that saved him, otherwise he might not be able to cross over, since this is the case, then treat this great mother well!
"But Yun Yao is back?"
He was hesitating when the voice of his mother Yang Hui came from the house.
"Mother, it's the child who has returned." Ying Sheng walked in.
In the room, the eyes were met by the kind face of a mother, with two sideburns on her head, and she was teasing the needlework in her hands.
Meat was being grilled on the large shelf next to it, and the fire under the shelf was roasting and smoking, with a hot and puffing aroma.
"Hurry up and eat, now is the time to grow taller, go to bed early after eating." Yang Hui looked at the hungry Nangong Yunyao with a motherly look of concern.
"Well, Mother, you eat too." Feeling this strong maternal love, my nose suddenly soured, I was on earth because my mother opened a store all the year round, and I grew up with my grandmother since I was a child, and I have never been cared for like this.
I thought in my heart that I must treat my mother well, and I must not treat him badly.
For the time being, I won't tell my mother the news of Shi Xinhua, and after trading with Li Lao, I will go to the Li family tribe to buy a good gift for my mother and surprise my mother.
After finishing, in bed.
Nangong Yunyao, who was tossing and turning, couldn't fall asleep for a long time, thinking about it, tears fell.
"You must be strong, even if it's ......!"
Dawn.
There were bursts of crying in the village, like a chicken, and it was not a chicken, but a bird that every household was free-ranged, wearing a colorful long feather like a peacock, but the body shape was like an ostrich, an egg weighed two or three catties, which was the most commonly eaten bird egg in Xiangjia Village.
At this time, an eighteen-year-old young man with black hair was carrying a large bundle of rope tools on his shoulders and was rushing to Nangong Yunyao's house.
"I don't know how effective the heart of stone is, is it as solid as a rock as rumored? Is there a better chance of activating the stone core? Can you really break through to the beginner level of martial arts? The boy thought about it and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Good morning Aunt Yang, is Cousin Yunyao up?"
"Ah, it's Li Hao here, Yun Yao hasn't woken up today, do you have anything to do with Yun Yao?" Yang Hui looked at Li Hao, who was carrying the rope tool, and wondered, this Li Hao was already the backbone of the second hunting team at a young age, and he rarely played with his own children.
"Aunt Yang, that's the case, Yun Yao saw a medicine plant yesterday, and because one person couldn't pick it, he asked me to help." Although Li Hao didn't understand why Yun Yao didn't tell Aunt Yang about Shi Xinhua, he also believed in his character.
"That's the case, then you sit and wait for a while, and I'll wake up Yunyao." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.
In one of the bedrooms in the house, a bed made of wood was covered with many animal feathers, including the common bird feathers, and the boy on the bed was still asleep, and the tears on his face were seen by Yang Hui who entered the room.
"Hey!" How could Yang Hui not know that the child had cried, but she was helpless, since her husband was killed, there was no source of life.
During this period, some people persuaded her to remarry, but she still couldn't let go of Nangong Yunyao, watching him grow up year by year, her heart was also more comforted.
Looking at the sleeping Nangong Yunyao, although he couldn't bear to wake up, he still shook it.
"Yun Yao, Yun Yao, your brother Li Hao came to you, is there something wrong with you?"
"Ahh Mother, is Brother Li Hao here? Yesterday, I made an appointment with Brother Li Hao to go to Xiangshan to collect medicine together. Nangong Yunyao rubbed his eyes and got up and said.
"Well, get up quickly, don't keep people waiting."
After getting up and leaving the house, I saw Li Hao, who had a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, sitting on a wooden bench.
"Brother Li Hao, I've been waiting for a long time, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, I've already brought something to eat, and I'm going to eat on the way there." Li Hao took out the cries in the toolbox and said.
"Well, then let's go to Xiangshan quickly." Looking at Li Hao, who had already been prepared, he couldn't help but speed up, and then threw a bird egg from the ashes under the grill.
"Brother Yao, Brother Li Hao, I thought you wouldn't wait for me to leave!" Nangong Xiaomeng suddenly came out at the door.
Nangong Yunyao looked at Xiao Meng, who had long hair in a shawl at the door, and said helplessly: "How can I be, I was about to call you." ”
"Alright, everyone is here, let's go." Li Hao said urgently.
A moment later, at the foot of Elephant Mountain, looking up at the Elephant Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of kilometers and stands tall in the forest.
"Yun Yao, where did you meet Shi Xinhua?"
"Brother Li Hao, don't worry, follow me, turn left from this road and walk for a quarter of an hour to see where Shixinhua is located." Nangong Yunyao walked towards a road in front of him.
Moments later, the trio appeared on top of a cliff that had apparently been stepped on on the path next to it.
"Brother Li Hao, look, it's that one."
Looking up at the top of the path, there is a small flower bud in the stone crevice, reflecting a little sunlight, and the stone gray leaves are naturally hidden and integrated with the stone wall, if it were not for the crystalline flower buds and bones in the sky above the spirit plant, it would be difficult for anyone to find it.
"Well, I see, I'll go down and pick it, and you guys are going up and looking at the rope." With that, he took out a thick bundle of rope from his toolbox and tied it to a large tree on the top of the cliff.
Walking cautiously along the trail for a while, Li Hao arrived at the stone crevice where the stone heart flower was, and gently excavated the stone heart flower in the stone crack, there was no fluctuation on the surface, but he was introverted but extremely excited, is this the stone heart flower that advanced himself?
"Brother Li Hao, be careful, come up quickly, go home and refine the herbs after the old medicine is verified." Nangong Yunyao saw that the stone heart flower had been picked in good condition, and when he returned home, he would be able to go to the Li family tribe tomorrow to buy medicinal herbs, and he was also excited.
Xiangjia Village, the hometown of medicine.
Yao Lao's calloused hands tightly held the stone heart flower and said excitedly: "It's really a stone heart flower!" This bud has just bloomed for less than a few years, and it will take more than ten years to fully open.
"Then trouble the old man to refine it into herbs, the medicinal materials you need have been bought." Li Lao, who was already waiting in the house, said.
"Well, I'll pick it up tomorrow."
"Yun Yao, this is the 1,500 gold coins that just finished trading the second-level monster, but you have to save it." Elder Li handed a money bag containing gold coins to Nangong Yunyao's hand and taught.
"Well, Elder Li rest assured."
"Yun Yao, haven't you already wanted to learn alchemy? This is a list of medicinal materials, tomorrow you will go to the Li family tribe to purchase and teach you to refine herbs. Yao Lao handed him a piece of paper with a list of medicinal herbs written on it.
"Thank you, Yao Lao."
"Yao Lao, Brother Yao has long wanted to learn." Nangong Bingmeng on the side said mischievously.
"It's like you don't want to learn, and someone was worried about it yesterday."
"Slightly." Nangong Bingmeng stuck out her tongue mischievously.
At noon, my stomach screamed uncontrollably, and the eggs I had eaten in the morning had already been digested, and it was time for lunch.
"Yao Lao, let's go home." Nangong Bingmeng was the first to step out of the door.
"Well, you come back in the evening, and make a move when you refine the Stone Heart Flower."
Night.
Medicine in the old family.
The three of them are refining the stone heart flower, the stone gray leaves have been refined into powder, the crystal bright stone heart flower buds are being soaked in potions, and a pair of bronze tripods next to it have already been put into the medicinal materials, only after the auxiliary medicinal materials are boiled out of the medicinal juice, they can be put into the stone heart flower.
Soon after, Yao Lao's hurried voice sounded.
"Quick, put in the stone heart flower and leaf powder, bamboo dragon beard, elephant horn, morning dew ......"
With the implantation of a rare medicine in the ding, the color of the medicinal juice in the ding is dark red and silver, like a hodgepodge, and the medicinal plants are boiled into a ball, bubbling with a medicinal fragrance that makes people sleep in the heart.
"Now, put in the heart buds."
With the last main medicine into the Ding, the tense nerves of the medicine elder gradually relaxed, everything went well, and the essence of the medicinal juice in the Ding can be taken after a day of boiling on a small fire.
"People are old, and it takes so much effort to even refine a one-grade spirit plant, hey!" Yao Lao lightly twisted his beard with his right hand, sighed deeply and said.
"Yao Lao, you still have a long lifespan, if you break through the spirit, you can increase your longevity by one hundred."
"How can it be so easy, maybe it was possible before, hey!"
"The world is so big, maybe there is a Spirit Master Realm medicine master who can cure your illness."
"Perhaps! But I'm afraid you don't even have the qualifications to meet others, you two little rabbit cubs are good at cultivating, and tomorrow you will buy medicinal materials and come back to teach you how to refine. ”
"Don't worry, Yao Lao, I will definitely work hard to become a pharmacist."
