Chapter 10: The Elixir of Disorders
Lin Huo didn't wake up from his hangover until the afternoon of the same day, and just when he opened his eyes with a dizziness, he suddenly saw Wu Mian sitting on the edge of his bed, looking at him with a strange look. Seeing Lin Huo wake up, Wu Mian said: "I thought you could only wake up after becoming a witch ancestor" Lin Huo was not fully awake, he looked at Wu Mian in a daze for a long time, wanting to say something, but his mind was blank, and he still didn't say anything after opening his mouth for a long time.
"The wine hasn't woken up yet...... Wu Mian looked at Lin Huo with a smile, and then the thumb and index finger of his right hand bent inward, and at the junction of the two fingertips, he made an arc of electricity. Before Lin Huo could see what was going on, the hand that flashed the arc had already pressed down on Lin Huo's waist and eyes.
"Ahhhh.......h Although his mind was instantly sober, the side effect was that Lin Huo's body was bowed like a shrimp, and the muscles of his whole body were out of his control, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"Good, good...... It's clear, it's clear...... Wake up" Lin Huo used the strength of milk to eat these words from his mouth.
"Don't say it sooner when you're awake" When Wu Mian spoke, his right hand had already left Lin Huo's body, and the arc generated by the upper end of his fingertips also disappeared without a trace at the same time. At this time, Lin Huo returned to normal, and there was no other discomfort in his body except for the feeling of numbness.
After finally relieving this breath, Lin Huo looked at Wu Mian with some horror, asked a few questions in a row and said, "How did you do it just now?" Is that witchcraft? Why haven't I heard you talk about witchcraft before? ”
"It's a little trick, if you go out, how can you know a few things" Wu Mian smiled faintly, looked at Lin Huo's expression and paused for a moment, and then said again: "After you become a witch ancestor in a few years, you will look down on this kind of little trick used to bluff people." The little trick in Wu Mian's mouth was in the cave of Yanshan in Liaodong, where Xu Fu left the spell recorded in the bamboo slips.
Hearing Wu Mian say this, Lin Huo blinked his eyes, as if he was thinking about something again, and after a while, he said with some frustration: "Even if you become a witch ancestor, you probably won't be able to play such a little trick" Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Wu Mian's hand that 'electric' him just now, and continued: "This little trick teaches me...... I've heard the rules of your people, you have to kowtow when you learn something, right? ”
After speaking, he turned over and stood up, knelt down with his knees bent towards Wu Mian, and then leaned forward and kowtowed. Wu Mian didn't stop Lin Huo, but when he kowtowed, Wu Mian flashed aside and gave up this position.
Lin Huo knocked his head down, and when he looked up, he couldn't see Wu Mian's figure. Seeing that this white-haired young man had changed his position, Lin Huo was stunned, he didn't understand what Wu Mian meant.
Wu Mian looked at Lin Huo, who was dazed, and said slowly: "This kind of little trick is not worth your head, I want to learn to teach you at any time." This is not counting, I have better things to cheapen you" As he spoke, Wu Mian had already spread out his other hand, revealing the pitch-black pill inside.
After Lin Huo glanced at the pill, he said to Wu Mian a little inexplicably, "What is this?" ”
Wu Mian looked at the pill in his hand and said, "At the beginning, someone said that if you eat this elixir, you will live forever, but after I took it, it seems that I am already immortal." Would you like to try ......?"
"Immortality?" Lin Huo laughed and continued, "I saw with my own eyes what it was like for you to be caught in a beast trap. I almost didn't survive this kind of injury, how can I live forever ......"
When Lin Huo was halfway through speaking, Wu Mian had already lifted the trouser tube of the 'injured leg', where were there any traces of being pinched by the beast on the exposed calf? Lin Huo was stunned when he saw it, and muttered: "It wasn't like this when I changed your dressing three days ago."
"What you see is just what I let you see" Wu Mian put down his pants, looked at Lin Huo and continued: "You put your heart in your stomach, if you want to do anything to you, I won't keep you until now." I have countless opportunities to reincarnate you every day......."
As he spoke, Wu Mian threw the pill at Lin Huo, and said in his mouth: "The pill is left for you, and it is up to you whether you eat it or not, but there is something to say in front." Not everyone's physique is suitable for this elixir, and there will be two possibilities after taking the elixir. One is immortality, and the other is death, and the result depends on your luck. ”
Lin Huo's hand holding the pill trembled slightly, he had already believed Wu Mian's words, but the last few words made him uneasy. Lin Huo's expression looked in Wu Mian's eyes, and he said, "You don't need to eat it right away, let's make a decision after thinking about it." If you don't eat it, return the pill to me, I'll go out for a few days, you think about it......" After speaking, he turned around and left the bamboo building, leaving only a forest fire that looked at the pill in his hand and was stunned.
After coming out of the forest fire, Wu Mian returned to his residence. He has also saved some food these days, but unfortunately it is still in a bartering environment, and there is no place to spend money when there is no gold cake.
Wu Mian returned to the forest with food, and during the days of cultivation, he asked Lin Huo to draw a map of the mountain, although it could not be connected with Xu Fu's map, but a few more turns, maybe he found some valuable clues.
Nineteen days later, Wu Mian reappeared in the Miao village, but he still did not find the location of Xu Fu's map. Five days ago, he ran out of food, relying on the wild fruits on the mountain and hunting wild beasts, wild fruits are okay, but it has been raining heavily in the past few days, and he can't take the fire to roast food, and the wild beasts he hits can only eat raw. It was really an appetite, and Wu Mian remembered that when he returned to the village, he could at least eat a hot meal.
The folk customs of Miao Village are simple, and everyone knows that he is a friend of the next Wu Zu. Under the love house and Wuxia, Wu Mian returned here again, and the locals did not have any superfluous expressions. However, when he returned to the bamboo building where he lived before, he found that there was already someone waiting for him here, and when he saw Wu Mian coming back, this person immediately rushed out and said to Wu Mian: "I took the pill you gave me...... Not dead yet."
This person was the forest fire that had been haunting him for nineteen days, but Wu Mian didn't believe his words. Looking at Lin Huo's black and shiny black hair, Wu Mian said, "Eat...... You don't look like it."
After returning to the bamboo building, Wu Mian gave Lin Huo a pulse. Lin Huo's current meridians have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to last time. But in Wu Mian's opinion, this level of change is still too far worse than his reaction after taking the pill. Now it seems that Lin Huo did take the pill, and there was no conflict between the medicinal properties, but why was the effect so far worse, and even his hair did not turn white? If Xu Fu is here, he can still see the clues. And Wu Mian thought about it, and could only guess that it was because of his personal physique.
Hearing that Wu Mian gave such an answer, Lin Huo also wanted to ask for another pill from Wu Mian. However, Wu Mian didn't let go, looked at Lin Huo, who had changed a little from the first time he met, and said, "Maybe it's because of your physique, no matter how much you eat, you won't absorb much." Forget it, you have more or less absorbed a lot of medicinal power. It can be regarded as a manifestation of immortality. ”
Lin Huo had a stupid expression, but he could also see that he couldn't get the elixir from Wu Mian, so he had to find another way.
In the days that followed, Wu Mian lived in Miao Village again. Every day, in addition to eating, he used the map drawn by the forest fire and compared it with the map in his memory, but he still did not find any place to match. Wu Mian was busy with himself every day, he didn't notice Yang Xiao, who often appeared with Lin Huo before, and he didn't know when he disappeared. would not have thought that when he and Yang Xiao met again, it had spanned more than 2,000 years, and at that time he and Yang Xiao had already forgotten each other's appearances. Besides, it's time for another person's story......
