Da Zhuang shook his head, screaming that he couldn't read it, and Hua Bo and I looked at the same place, the upper right of the scroll, there was a red circle, circled by two strange figures. I touched it with my index finger, and it was cinnabar, although it was very light, but it was very conspicuous on the gray and abrupt skin.

"This, this red circle was drawn by the elder of Zhihua." I whispered, I couldn't read what was written on it, but I was sure that there was no cinnabar circle when I first saw the scroll.

Da Zhuang also sent a smart one, and said: "So, this is a clue left by the elders for us, but, but I can't understand this hook circle!" ”

But seeing that Hua Bo was fascinated, his eyes were serious, and he said after a long time: "This is an ancient script that originated in the Yellow River Valley, and I can only understand a little bit of the specific content, this is indeed a medicine book that records ancient prescriptions." ”

Da Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Master, you even understand ancient words!" Why didn't you teach me? ”

Hua Bo said helplessly: "Twenty years ago, when I traveled to Wuyi Mountain, I was fortunate to get the guidance of a master, and learned the ancestral book of the 'Yellow Emperor's Neijing' and some animal bone medicine books, which were recorded in this similar pictograph, but it is a pity that my fate with this master is still shallow, and the time spent together is too short, and I only learned some skins." Later, I met Elder Zhihua and asked him for advice on several ancient immortal recipes, and among them, there happened to be this flavor. As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the cinnabar circle.

As soon as Da Zhuang heard the word "immortal square", he immediately asked with a light in his eyes: "Master, master, then, what is written in that circle?" Isn't it how to live forever and feather into a flying immortal cloud? ”

Hua Bo did not answer directly, but stared at the ancient scroll and said to himself: "This kind of hieroglyphs was originally engraved on stone, and later widely engraved on animal bones or animal skins, and the words on this Taisu ancient scroll were scalded on animal skins with high temperatures, I thought that this method of branding originated from a kind of torture in the Xia Kang era, but I didn't expect that our ancestors had already used it to remember, but from these burns, the traces seem to be very different, more like they were recorded by different people in different eras." I don't understand what is recorded in it, but the first ding painted on it should be related to an ancient and mysterious Danshu. ”

Although I had been prepared, I was still very surprised to hear the definite answer, and I asked Hua Bo, "Is there really a magic method in this world that can transform immortality into immortals?" Birth, old age, sickness and death are naturally caused, I wonder if it is just some way to prolong life, and the ancient ancestors will always exaggerate when describing it? ”

Hua Bo nodded, with a hint of excitement in his eyebrows, "I think so too, prolonging life is also what my generation wants to practice medicine, if you can really find a way to prolong your life, wouldn't it be a good thing for the country and the people!" Think about the prosperous period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the total number of people in the country was about 50 million, how strong it was, but today, disasters and man-made disasters, wars, plagues are raging, and the number of people in the whole country is less than 20 million. Alas! If you can really explore and find out, it will benefit the people! Moreover, I believe that the matter of your Lejia and the disappearance of the elder Zhihua must also have something to do with it. Just ......"

At this, a trace of unease appeared on his face......

Da Zhuang hurriedly said: "Oops! Master, what's it, tell me quickly? But, I'm dying. ”

Hua Bo frowned and said: "What is recorded in the cinnabar circle is indeed a miracle medicine, but this medicine is extremely difficult to find, and it may take a lot of mountains and rivers, and all the miracle medicines are born in a desperate situation, or they are guarded by fierce beasts and monsters, which are dangerous and abnormal." ”

I nodded and said to Hua Bo: "I have been practicing martial arts with Uncle Zhang Jing since I was a child, trekking through mountains and rivers, and it doesn't matter if I am in danger, even if I take this life, anyway, I have enjoyed enough food, drink and fun, so tell me what kind of medicine this is?" ”

"Yes, yes, what kind of medicine?" Da Zhuang glared at the helper.

Hua Bo said: "This medicine is called' Ghost Afoetui', this kind of medicine is not unusual, divided into yin and yang, the most common is the yang Afoetida, is an umbrella-shaped, such as a small tree-like herb, its fat paste can be attributed to the spleen, dissipated, scattered ruffian, insecticidal, growing in the Gobi or barren mountains in the Western Regions, it is also a common thing; 'Ghost Awei', the legend is the best in Yin Awei, it only grows in a place called 'Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain' in the Western Regions, I just heard Elder Zhihua mention it a long time ago, as for whether this thing is real or not, no one can say clearly. ”

I asked Hua Bo, "The clue that the elder Zhihua left us was a blind medicinal herb, what is the purpose of this?" ”

Hua Bo shook his head: "I can't guess the intention of the elder, I can only understand so much of the content on the ancient scroll, maybe the elder needs this medicine?" But most of this ghost Awei doesn't exist at all, but for the sake of the elders, I have to go to the 'Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain' to find it, but I have to go alone, you two are inexperienced, and it will be bad." ”

"That's not good, 'Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain' is scary to hear, Master, how can I let you go alone, why don't I have any experience? You forgot, the last time I was in distress in Huashan, my life hung by a thread, thanks to my Wu Dazhuang......"

Between the words, I understood Hua Bo's intentions, he felt that he could only understand this little bit of content, there were too few clues, the possibility of being able to get this herb was too slim, and the hint of the elder of Zhihua, I couldn't guess what it meant, if I worked in vain, and then caught up with me and Da Zhuang, it was really not cost-effective, but this is likely to be a clue about the safety of my whole family, I would never give up, so he said: "This medicine book is the ancestral treasure of our Lejia, where the medicine book is, I am there, as a descendant of the Lejia family, I forgot this, Isn't it disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice? ”

In the end, two mouths are still better than one mouth, a bit of soft grinding and hard bubbles, Hua Bo also knows that the Taisu Ancient Scroll is of great significance, I am the owner of the Ancient Scroll, it must be inappropriate not to take me with me, so I have to let me go with Da Zhuang, there is only one condition, I must listen to him along the way, and I can't make claims at any time.

What kind of condition is this? That's a must, Da Zhuang and I patted our chests and promised that we would never go west to the east.

Da Zhuang asked Hua Bo what kind of place this Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain was.

Hua Bo shook his head and said that he hadn't found this place at all, but many years ago, he had treated a patient who had lost his heart and was mad, and the patient had written a book called Maze Lou before he became ill, and he recorded such an incident.

Legend has it that Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth a hundred years ago, and it was originally preached by three eminent monks. One of the monks traveled to a remote village in the Western Regions, only to see that the yin qi was extremely heavy not far away, even in the daytime it was still full of smoke and miasma, and the sight could not see anything, and at night, it was even more eerie and terrifying, and the wind blew through like ten thousand ghosts howling and crying, so it was called 'Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain'.

According to the locals, this place was originally a small ancient country, and the treasure of the country was their princess, the legendary 'First Beauty of the Western Regions', whose eyes could dispel the hatred of the world, calm the mad tigers, and let the fighting army put down the butcher knife in their hands. Of course, the princess is not an extraordinary person, but the great Brahma on the fragrance of the heavenly maiden, once, the king's birthday, the princess danced at the banquet, the neon dress is like a cloud, the moon shadow is sad, the Lingbo fairy, the colorful sleeves fly, the birds and beasts have come, the sky descends auspicious clouds, the colorful glow Wandao, after a song, the monarch and the minister trance into bliss, thinking that only after a cup of tea, in fact, three days and three nights have passed, as the so-called heaven and earth for a year, such a grand scene was reflected in the nine heavens, it is said that not only the local villagers, even many places in the Western Regions, Looking up at the sky, you can see the grand occasion of the dancing of the goddess, the scene of the princess dancing was hand-painted by a famous painter, although the portrait is not as good as my own case, but the people who have seen this painting are still intoxicated, for a while, the princes and nobles of the Western Regions have come, just want to see the princess, but no one can find the way to this small country.

However, there is a demon country in the Western Regions, and its ruler, the Demon Mother, is transformed by a demon god, who is good at poisoning and cursing evil Gu, spreading plagues, and the surrounding small countries are slaughtered by it. The ghost mother is quite magical, knowing that the princess is a fragrant sound goddess, can talk to birds and beasts, and knows the meaning of the grass, so the medical Tao is extremely clever, and kind-hearted, often diagnoses the surrounding people, saves the dead and helps the wounded, and the ghost mother is murderous, and does not want her plague to be treated, so she sent out a fine work, pretending to be sick, mixed in, and finally found this way to a small country.

After that, the ghost mother personally led the army to come, to take the princess's life, the princess knew that her mana was far less than the ghost mother who was the demon god, and agreed to give her life in exchange for the peace of the people in the country, on the day of the execution, the princess was dressed in silver, and went out of the city alone to the front of the ghost mother's array, the ghost mother took out the "fairy arrow" and shot at the princess, at this moment, a young man rushed over, blocked in front of the princess, but unfortunately the fairy arrow is a demon artifact, how can it be blocked by the body, the man and the princess were shot through the arrow and died.

This young man is the only son of the ghost mother, only because he loves the princess to give up his life to protect him, but he didn't expect that not only did he not save the princess's life but caused a big disaster, the ghost mother lost her only son, where is she willing to stop! She unleashed the plague, and within a few days, everyone in the country died painfully, and the ghost mother still hated it, and cursed it, so that the undead here would never be reincarnated, and the unjust souls were trapped here for many generations, and they suffered from being flayed every day, which is the origin of the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain.

If the worst sins are punished in the land, they will also be put to death and their bodies will be dumped in this mountain of corpses as a sign of this curse.

Besides, this monk, with compassion, can not bear the soul to suffer, so he entered the mountain of ten thousand corpses alone to seek its solution, the villagers thought that the monk would die, who knew that after seven days and seven nights, he actually walked out, there is white ointment in the bowl in his hand, the fragrance can be transmitted for several miles, the villagers asked the monk what is this? The monk replied: "Ghost Awei".

Later, this high monk built a temple at the foot of the mountain to preach the Dharma, chanted and prayed for this place day and night, and vowed to save the souls of the dead in the mountain, thus also introducing Buddhism to the Western Regions. Until the death of this monk, he never mentioned what he experienced in the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, and soon after, the "Ghost Awei" disappeared, only Buddhism has been introduced to the countries of the Western Regions, and this matter has become a mystery, some people say that the monk has reached some kind of agreement with the ghost mother after entering the mountain, and there are even slanderers who say that the real monk has died in the mountain of ten thousand corpses, and what came out was the ghost mother's illusion, because someone saw that he had no shadow.
