Chapter 922: The herbs will run away
Murong Xi raised the question in his heart: "I have always had a doubt, that is, although the Gu Sutra comes from the Fengtian Sect, why would the Zheng Elder practice the Gu Sutra in the Gu Sutra?" After all, the Gu Sutra was taken away by the saint a long time ago, and later the Gu Sutra was always placed in the ancestral hall of Xuanmen Villa. Could it be that Elder Zheng stole it when he secretly went to the Fengtian Sect? "Murong Xi didn't believe that Elder Zheng had obtained the Gu Sutra in the Fengtian Sect at all, and if it was possible, only that wooden box would remain.
Feng Mingye listened to Murong Xi's doubts, and replied, "Xi'er, unless Elder Zheng himself opens his mouth to tell us where he got the Gu Sutra alchemy technique. ”
After thinking about it, Xuan Liangyue said, "No, at least someone should know." ”
Murong Xi nodded and responded, "That's right, that person is Ji Limo." It's just that Ji Limo was bewitched by Elder Zheng, and only by unraveling the Gu for him can he know the secrets in the Gu Sutra. ”
"Are you saying that Ji Limo knows the secrets inside the Gu Sutra? But we didn't hear him talk about it. Feng Mingye asked suspiciously.
"Ji Limo has a lot of things hidden in his head, and he can't remember them if he doesn't specifically let him recall." Murong Xi said slowly.
"Here are the herbs you need?" Xuan Liangyue asked.
"You're coming over and have a look?" Murong Xi gave Xuan Liangyue a look.
Xuan Liangyue looked at the Yin-Yang Grass and saw that there was indeed a purple four-leaf flower growing under the Yin-Yang Grass leaf.
"It turned out to be a long-cherished grass, and Elder Zheng was really vicious. It is not suitable for growth and prefers dark and damp places. And this cave is close to the mountain spring, so grass grows in the cave. And among the medicinal materials you need to solve the Gu, the Herb cannot be replaced. If we can't pick the weeds here, what are we going to do? Xuan Liangyue said worriedly.
Murong Xi opened his mouth and said, "Don't you remember how I recovered my internal strength?" ”
"What do you mean...... Can it really be? Xuan Liangyue asked.
Of course, Feng Mingye understood the meaning of Xuan Liangyue's words, but asked with some concern: "Xi'er, you don't want to pull out the Yin and Yang Grass with your bare hands, right?" ”
Murong Xi shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going to pull out the Yin Yang Grass, but directly pull out the long-cherished grass." Ah Ye rest assured, I know in my heart that I won't joke with my body. ”
Feng Mingye was not worried when he saw that Murong Xi was not worried, and he was also relieved. Murong Xi approached the cave wall, and then gently pulled off the grass with his hand. After taking the grass, the group left the cave. When Mo'er saw the three people coming out, she handed the kettle containing the spring water to the three people.
After the three of them drank the spring water, Feng Mingye opened his mouth and asked, "How many herbs do we still need to pick?" ”
Murong Xi responded: "There is only one left, and it is also the most difficult to get your hands on." ”
"Xi'er, you must know that it is already dusk, and it will be dark in a while. When the time comes, we will have to travel at night. Feng Mingye asked.
"The last herb can only be picked until the evening." Murong Xi said to Feng Mingye.
"Then let's rest here for a while, and then we'll set off later?" Feng Mingye asked.
Murong Xi nodded and said, "It's okay, anyway, the scenery here is very beautiful." ”
"You don't have to worry, after I went back and talked to my father, I used the Gu Control Technique. I believe that those Gu worms of Elder Zheng are no longer useful. Xuan Liangyue said.
Murong Xi recognized Xuan Liangyue's approach very much, if he hadn't been poisoned by Gu poison at the beginning, he would also use Gu control techniques on Elder Zheng. It's just that she is indeed to blame for this matter, she underestimated Elder Zheng's ability too much, and gave him the opportunity to play Gu on himself.
After sitting by the mountain spring and resting for a while, Murong Xi led them to the place where the medicine was to be collected.
"Xi'er, didn't you say that this medicine needs to be picked at night? Wouldn't it be a little early to go? Feng Mingye asked.
"We have to get there early or run away." Murong Xi said with a wicked smile.
Feng Mingye raised his eyebrows and didn't continue to ask Murong Xi, but he knew that Murong Xi wouldn't be joking.
Several people walked down the mountain, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Murong Xi motioned for everyone to stop. It turns out that there is also a cave here, but it is smaller than the one at the top of the mountain. However, Murong Xi didn't want to go into the cave with everyone, but looked at the yellow bud at the entrance of the cave. Murong Xi said softly: "Found it, let's just wait here." ”
Feng Mingye looked at the flower bud, and felt that the flower bud was very ordinary, do you have to wait until the flower blooms? It's just that he didn't understand why Murong Xi's voice was suddenly lowered, as if he was worried that Hua Bud would really run away after hearing the sound.
Xuan Liangyue was not too surprised after seeing the yellow buds, and after listening to Murong Xi's words, she lay down in the flowers opposite.
Several people, like Xuan Liangyue, all lay on the opposite side and waited for the buds to bloom.
Feng Mingye whispered to Murong Xi: "Aren't we waiting until the flowers bloom, and then we will pick the flowers?" ”
Murong Xi shook his head, and said to Feng Mingye: "The good show is still to come, don't miss it." ”
Feng Mingye didn't ask again, worried that he would miss picking the flowers, so he quietly waited for the flowers to bloom.
The sun was setting, and soon, the moon was climbing into the sky.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Feng Ming found that the buds slowly opened. And this yellow flower, which just looked very ordinary, now because of the moonlight, the yellow flower actually emits a faint golden light. At this time, the petals just open completely. The three petals were watery, and there seemed to be mucus on the petals, and they were about to drip down. The yellow petals began to shine like a citrine flower.
Feng Mingye's eyes didn't blink, because he didn't want to miss such a beautiful scene. It's just that he was a little surprised by Murong Xi's reaction, and he didn't mean to pick flowers.
Murong Xi had already seen Feng Mingye's strange eyes, winked at Feng Mingye, and did not speak.
Just when he felt that Murong Xi's reaction was strange, he heard Sisi's voice. Because the mountains were so quiet, they didn't even dare to breathe, so the sound of the slightest voice sounded even clearer.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Feng Mingye knew where the voice came from, and it turned out to be a small golden snake. The slightest voice was the voice of the little golden snake spitting out the letter.
And the little golden snake's behavior is also very strange, it seems to be very vigilant, around the yellow flowers twice before staring at the yellow flowers intoxicated.
Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi and gave her a look, meaning that he wanted to ask Murong Xi, if he didn't pick flowers in time, it seemed that he would be swallowed by the golden snake.
Murong Xi shook his head, telling Feng Mingye not to worry, and let him continue to see what happened next in the prescription.
Next, just as Feng Mingye expected, the little golden snake spit out the letter, sucked all the mucus on the yellow flower into its mouth, and then swallowed the yellow flower in one gulp.
Murong Xi still didn't move, and the little golden snake didn't leave directly after swallowing the flower, but stretched his neck as if looking up at the sky, looking like he was absorbing the moonlight.
Knowing that a quarter of an hour later, when the little golden snake was about to leave, Murong Xi launched a silver needle and pierced the little golden snake's body. The little golden snake seemed to have been drugged, and fainted in a drowsy state.
"Let's go." Murong Xi rushed over, pulled out the silver needle, and grabbed the little golden snake with his hand and put it in a cloth bag.
Feng Mingye asked, "Xi'er, is this going to kill it?" ”
Murong Xi smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's not dead, and it's not so easy to die." I just smeared the drug on the silver needle, and the little golden snake was hit by the silver needle, and naturally fell asleep. ”
Murong Xi walked near the yellow flower, thinking that the little golden snake had only swallowed the yellow flower, and had not swallowed the main yellow flower. Murong Xi squatted down and dug out the roots of the yellow flower, and Murong Xi asked Mo'er for a kettle to clean the roots of the yellow flower. It turns out that the yellow flower is not only very beautiful, but also its roots are beautiful, and it looks like a yellow gem. Murong Xi didn't put this thing in the bamboo basket, but took the sachet on his waist and opened it, and put the root of the yellow flower into the sachet.
"Let's go." Murong Xi said.
Feng Mingye nodded, and several people quickly descended the mountain by taking advantage of the moonlight.
Several people made light efforts and entered the backyard, and in order to avoid arousing the doubts of Elder Zheng, they went directly into Murong Xi's courtyard.
Mo'er went out to find a small bamboo cage and put the little golden snake in the cage.
Linglong saw that everyone was back, so she went to boil hot water and made tea for everyone and sent it in.
After Feng Mingye sat down, he was worried that Murong Xi would be tired, so he asked, "Xi'er, if you are tired, rest early." ”
"I'm not tired, but I can rest earlier, after all, I need to explain the Gu to Rushi tomorrow." Murong Xi said slowly.
"Anyway, the medicinal materials have been found, so we don't have to worry about it." Xuan Liangyue took a sip of tea and said.
"Speaking of medicinal materials, I was very curious at the time, and I thought that the medicinal materials Xi'er needed were the yellow flower, but it turned out to be the little golden snake that swallowed the yellow flower." Feng Mingye said curiously.
"That yellow flower is actually called Spirit Grass. The little golden snake likes the taste of the spirit grass very much, but the spirit grass only blooms in the middle of the night, and the little golden snake specially waits there for the spirit grass to bloom. This small golden snake is a spirit snake that molts as long as it swallows spirit grass. The skin of the little golden snake can be used as medicinal herbs, and even saliva can be refined into an antidote. However, it is very poisonous, and after being bitten by it, it will die in seven steps. Therefore, it is also known as the seven-step snake. Moreover, it is not easy to catch it. The little golden snake is usually very fast, and it is often elusive. Only when it swallows Spirit Grass will it be sluggish. Murong Xi explained to Feng Mingye.
"It turns out that Xi'er wants the skin of the little golden snake, and I thought I was going to kill the little golden snake." Feng Mingye said.
"I don't want the skin of the little golden serpent, but its blood. Of course I'm not going to kill it, just take a few drops of blood. Murong Xi explained.
Xuan Liangyue said to Murong Xi: "Tomorrow you want to solve the Gu for Rushi, I will also come over, if I can solve the Gu for her, I don't need you to do it." ”
Murong Xi nodded, believing that even if Xuan Liangyue couldn't solve the Gu poison, she would help her.
After Xuan Liangyue got up, she continued: "Rest early tonight, the little golden snake will finish shedding its skin early tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, you can take blood." ”
After Xuan Liangyue finished speaking, she got up and left the backyard.
Because Murong Xi was hit by the Gu and couldn't bathe at all, Feng Mingye had to ask Mo'er to fetch water to wipe Murong Xi's face. After helping Murong Xi lie down, Murong Xi said, "I'll sleep first, and after you go to bathe and change your clothes, rest early." ”
"yes, I see." Feng Mingye covered the quilt for Murong Xi, and then turned to the side to bathe and change clothes.
By the time Feng Ming came back in the night, Murong Xi had already fallen asleep. In order not to disturb Xi'er's rest, Feng Mingye leaned on the soft collapse on the side.
