Volume 3 Bixian Strange Tales Chapter 70 Requiem Grass
"What to bring?" Qin Lingxuan asked suspiciously, Jin'er and Ran Ran didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the master and apprentice.
"The elixir that can control your surging blood," Shangguan Yunyun continued with relief, "Ling'er, you won't have to suffer inhuman pain in the future. ”
Although Shangguan Yunyun's face was calm, her eyes unconsciously revealed helpless love, and her mood could not be calmed down.
"Thank you, grandma!" Qin Lingxuan knelt down sincerely, his eyes flashed with tears, since he grew so big, this is the first time he has knelt, and it is also the first time he has knelt down so willingly, as the saying goes, there is gold under a man's knees, but then again, kneeling and licking and kneeling to his parents, now that his parents are nowhere to be found, grandma is the bright sky above Qin Lingxuan's head, illuminating his footsteps!
"Ling'er!" Shangguan Yunyun was excited, her vicissitudes of life, a few pieces of loose skin kept shaking, and she gently stroked Qin Lingxuan's head with her shriveled old hand.
"Young Master!" Xiuxiu still couldn't change her mouth for a while, and said the title uncontrollably.
"Xiuxiu, stop calling me young master, I'm older than you, if you don't mind, be my sister, you call me brother!" Qin Lingxuan slowly stood up from the ground, and said to Xiuxiu with a slightly serious expression.
Xiuxiu blinked her autumn-like eyes and looked at Shangguan Yunyun.
"Xiuxiu, you just call him that, you don't have the distinction between master and servant," Shangguan Yunyun opened his mouth, and Xiuxiu put away the embarrassment.
"Brother Qin!" Xiuxiu's voice was pleasant, like the cry of a well-behaved elf cuckoo, and it made people's bones tingle when they heard it.
"Brother Qin? Love brother? Ran Ran muttered to herself, didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
"You can't call Brother Qin!" Jin'er retorted very seriously, she was trying her best to state her position and attitude, defending her position in love.
"I, did I say something wrong?" A blush appeared on Xiuxiu's jade face, shyly and shyly, very lovable.
"Anyway, you can't call Brother Qin, don't you know this?" Jin'er's tone became tougher, and she seemed to be a little angry, and her chest continued to rise and fall.
"Then my name is Brother Xuan!" Xiuxiu seemed to have understood something, and immediately changed her words.
"Can't!"
"Alright, alright, don't mess around, it's useless!" Shangguan Yunyun interjected, and suddenly said such a meaningful sentence, and I don't know if she said it to Jin'er or Xiuxiu.
Ran Ran hadn't seen such a "harmonious" scene for a long time, and she was happy to watch this good show from the sidelines.
Qin Lingxuan on the side was caught in the middle, in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
"You call Brother Ling'er directly!"
"Brother!"
"Anthracene!"
Jin'er didn't stop it anymore, and seemed to acquiesce to her address to Qin Lingxuan, in fact, she was afraid of offending Shangguan Yunyun, who knows what this old man is thinking, she hasn't passed the door yet, she doesn't want to be swept away.
Ran Ran disturbed the back of her head boringly, and with Shangguan Yunyun's appearance, the play had already ended at the beginning.
"Let's get down to business, sister!" Qin Lingxuan changed the topic back.
Xiuxiu carefully took out a red plant and presented it to them, this plant was in the shape of a grass, six bright red pentagonal diamond-shaped leaves, as if soaked in blood, red and gorgeous, looking very demonic, the branches and rhizomes were transparent, and all the surging in it was red liquid, which was three points redder than the blood of a living person.
"What is this?" Qin Lingxuan asked suspiciously
, This leaf is incomprehensible just by looking at the shape, it can't be described as precious, it must be a rare thing, and its juice is unheard of and unseen by Qin Lingxuan.
Xiuxiu explained very professionally, it is called requiem grass, growing on Mount Everest at an altitude of 8,000 meters, the only one in the world, there is no similarity, it absorbs the essence of sunlight and moonlight, as its own energy, however, it does not suck rain and dew, but blood, whether it is human or livestock, as long as it is blood, it is its best nourishment, but there is a premise, it must be hot blood, no temperature of blood, it can't even smell.
"Blood as nourishment?" Ran Ran grew her mouth in horror, this grass is too terrifying, she likes to eat blood, and she is such a "picky eater".
"How does it suck blood?" Jin'er couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, and asked Xiuxiu.
No matter how spiritual a grass is, no matter how it "becomes a spirit", it is impossible for it not to kill people and animals, it sounds incredible, could it be that it can turn into a human form?
"Its bright appearance always attracts a lot of curious people and animals, they approach it step by step, thinking that they will be caught, but they are invited into the urn, and its blood-red juice contains a deadly drug, a little sniff with the nose or a mouth inhalation, can make the people and animals close to it hallucinate, willingly cut by its sharp leaves, let it suck!" Xiuxiu continued to explain unhurriedly.
"Sure enough, the world is so big, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe that there is such a terrifying existence in the world, it's really terrifying!" Qin Lingxuan couldn't help but take a breath.
"Then how did you 'submit' it?" Ran Ran asked curiously, her face full of confusion.
"This," Xiuxiu suddenly tilted her head to one end, embarrassed, Ran Ran's question seemed to be very tricky, what was she unspeakable, and she couldn't express it in words.
"Child's urine, virgin blood!" Shangguan Yunyun opened his mouth and said to them, indirectly solving Xiuxiu's ugly siege.
Looking at Qin Lingxuan and the three of them were still puzzled, she continued to explain that although it was terrifying and bloodthirsty, heavy and yin, it was very afraid of child urine and virgin blood, but any of them would make it extremely uncomfortable, and "surrendering" it was to mix child urine and virgin blood, with cinnabar yellow manxiong yellow wine, after Xiuxiu's precise processing, splashed on its body, it was a lamb that could only be slaughtered.
"I see!" Qin Lingxuan suddenly realized, and finally understood, and also sighed in his heart Xiuxiu's hardships, to climb the 8,000-meter cold Mount Everest, and to always beware of dangers such as avalanches, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to the sky, coupled with its "spirituality", if it is an ordinary person, it has already become its "belly meal".
Qin Lingxuan can't say clearly, he doesn't like Xiuxiu, and he doesn't even have any good feelings between men and women, so there is no such absurd thing as love at first sight, but he admires Xiuxiu very much in his heart, and this admiration is a kind of pity and love.
Jin'er didn't know Qin Lingxuan's inner thoughts, but she was extremely uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to show it because of Shangguan Yunyun's presence.
"By the way, what's it called?" Ran Ran asked in confusion, after talking for a long time, he didn't even know its name, in his opinion, such a terrifying plant should always have a name, and it was a domineering name.
"It's called Requiem!" Xiuxiu returned to normalcy and said lightly.
Ran Ran couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this was far from her guess.
"Ling'er, hurry up!" Shangguan Yunyun suddenly urged.
"Grandma, what do you mean?" Qin Lingxuan's face was confused.
"Swallow it, brother!" Xiuxiu added on the side, her eyes were full of hope, the most thing Shangguan Yunyun told her since she was a child was about Qin Lingxuan, though
However, she has never seen Qin Lingxuan, but the person she is most familiar with in her life, except for Shangguan Yunyun, is Qin Lingxuan.
"How to swallow?" Qin Lingxuan took the requiem grass from Xiuxiu's hand, and the moment he touched her fingers, his whole body was numb, as if he had been shocked by a weak current, and spread all over his body, this strange feeling, he couldn't say why.
Qin Lingxuan shook his head vigorously to keep himself awake, and then asked, "Chew and swallow?" ”。
"No," Shangguan Yunyun retorted, this was the first time she had spoken to Qin Lingxuan in such a stiff tone, because the requiem grass was related to Qin Lingxuan's safety, so she couldn't be careless.
"So what am I going to do? Grandmother! Qin Lingxuan looked at the bright red requiem grass and didn't know how to put her mouth shut.
"Swallow it!" Shangguan Yunyun and Xiuxiu said in unison, their tones resolute, as if they were issuing orders to Qin Lingxuan, and there was no room for him to refute them.
"This," Qin Lingxuan felt that his head was big, this requiem grass was fifteen centimeters to say the least, if he really swallowed it, he would be choked to death.
"Xiuxiu, help Ling'er!"
"Yes, Master!" Xiuxiu took out a bottle of aged vinegar from a red bag of Shangguan Yunyun, and then asked Qin Lingxuan to take a sharp sip and hold it in her mouth, unable to swallow or spit it out.
Qin Lingxuan did as instructed, the old vinegar in his mouth was sour and astringent, his tongue was numb, and he couldn't even feel the existence of his lips.
According to Xiuxiu, this is an aged vinegar that has been stored for a hundred years, so the taste is a little strange, but the effect is excellent, especially for swallowing requiem grass.
Xiuxiu stretched out her slender jade hand and pressed it on Qin Lingxuan's forehead, Qin Lingxuan tilted her head back very cooperatively, forty-five degrees, and then, opened her mouth to the maximum, deep throat, exposing it.
I don't know if it's the wind blowing in the lobby, or if the requiem grass is really spiritual, it fanned the six-leaf clover violently, as if it was doing a dying resistance, it didn't want to be reduced to the food in Qin Lingxuan's belly.
"It's now!" Shangguan Yunyun immediately decided.
Xiuxiu seized the opportunity, and when the requiem grass was most "restless", she poked its roots into Qin Lingxuan's mouth, and went deep into her throat little by little......
Qin Lingxuan was extremely uncomfortable, according to his throat, it seemed to be blocked by a wooden stick, and even his breathing was a little unsmooth, he could only use his nose to breathe.
"Ahh
"Ling'er, hold back!" Shangguan Yunyun persuaded lovingly.
Qin Lingxuan's stomach was tumbling, his stomach was also making noise, his throat was like being pricked by a needle, the pain was terrible, he tried his best to endure this torture, and his mouth was still retching uncontrollably.
Jin'er thoughtfully patted Qin Lingxuan's back, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, but as long as Qin Lingxuan could no longer "get sick" because of this, she felt that it was worth bearing these pains.
"Drink it!" Xiuxiu took out a transparent glass jar, which was filled with clear liquid, but Qin Lingxuan could see that in the clear, there were some yellowed strange liquids involved.
"Gollum!" Qin Lingxuan drank it without hesitation, this pungent strange smell, he knew very well what it was, that's right, it was child urine!
According to Xiuxiu, the child's urine can remove the cold poison of the requiem grass, relieve the pain of the damage it brings to the throat and internal organs, and the most important thing is that it can slowly melt, and Qin Lingxuan will not be eaten by it.
After a long time, Qin Lingxuan regained his vitality, and after taking the requiem grass, he did feel that the blood in his body was no longer surging, but became peaceful......
