Chapter 101: The Elixir of Life
Long Zijing told Brother Kan about his guess, "In order to prevent accidents, in the process of refining medicine in Shennongjia, King Chu Mourning stepped up the construction of a luxurious mausoleum after his death, and the finished product was the palace of King Chu Mourning established in one of the eight dragon veins. ”
"We saw in the cedar coffin carved with the process of refining the medicine of King Chu Mourning, one of which is engraved with soldiers picking golden dendrobium on the cliff, take a closer look, in fact, the golden dendrobium picked by the soldiers is different from the appearance of the golden dendrobium we see, they picked a herb called long live grass."
"Banzai grass is a flat, light green plant that can be used as medicine, the reason why the long-lived grass is called this is because when the weather is dry, the twigs of the long-lived grass will roll up and shrink into a ball to keep the water in the body, once the rain is obtained, the temperature rises, the rolled branchlets will be flattened, just like the resurrection of the dead can live long live, and the golden branch of dendrobium, the long live grass also likes to settle on the cliffs of the barren mountains and mountains that are inaccessible, because it is difficult to pick the precious herbs that are said to be miraculous."
Brother Kan was dizzy when he heard it, "Little Dragon King, what do you want to say?" ”
"Even if this herb can really be refined into the elixir of life in your hands, it is also a kind of poison, King Chu Mourning died of illness That's right, he really refined it into a pill and ate it, just refine the medicine according to the technology at that time, even if it is refined into a chronic poison containing heavy metals, not only will it not be immortal, but it will also accelerate his death."
"I ...... I don't believe it, if you want to eat it, I'll give you one. Brother Kan winced and took out a pill and gave it to Long Ziyan.
Long Zi's yellowish reverse pupils pierced people's hearts like sharp blades, shook his hand and hit the pill in Brother Kan's hand, pulled him to the jade sarcophagus and said: "Brother Kan, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it, the corpse of King Chu Mourning is the evidence, the corpse is fresh all over the body, and the skin on the face still shows signs of ruddy, but the expression still looks painful, the lips are crooked and unusually black, and there are undried blood stains on the ears. ”
"What does it have to do with the pill whether he dies or not, it's because he is not blessed, maybe he died without eating it at all, and how to explain the "Shennong Materia Medica" that Xiao Zhi is looking for?"
Long Ziyan grabbed the bamboo slips in the coffin and threw them to the ground, and the bamboo slips fell to pieces, "This is not Shennong's Materia Medica at all, remember that it is all evil art to deceive ghosts, why do you think the corpse of King Chu Mourning can not decay for thousands of years, is it a jade sarcophagus embalmed?" It is because he has been absorbing yang energy, just like the turtle pattern stone in the burial pavilion of Panlong Mountain can absorb the aura of the earth's veins, those qi eaters are not illusions, they suck the yang energy on people's bodies and are absorbed by the jade coffin to make King Chu Mourning like a living dead. ”
"Brother Zijing, ...... so many years" Zi Kite couldn't bear to see Long Zijing so persistently stop Brother Kan from saving Meng Xiaozhi, and opened his mouth to help him speak.
Long Ziyan immediately interrupted the purple kite and said sharply, "Shut up!" Do you want to ask why King Chu Mourning has not been corrupted without a source of yang energy for so many years? ”
Long Ziyan walked to the coffin lid and closed the half-open coffin lid again, at the same time, the rectangular sunlight that came in from the hole above the tomb shone impartially on the green jade sarcophagus, the concave and convex jade sarcophagus lid reflected the sunlight on the polished and smooth green jade stone wall on the tomb, and some of the light reflected on the jade wall was reflected back and forth back and forth on the green jade sarcophagus, so that people had no time to react, the Taoist blue light filled the tomb, and some light extended outward from the four rectangular openings above the tomb, it looked like the mountain peaks were shining, and the sun rose in the east and set in the west. The east and west caves can provide the jade sarcophagus with the essence of light from the sun for more than ten minutes once a day at different time periods, bringing a steady stream of life breath to the king of Chu Mourning in the green jade sarcophagus, so that he can look like he is immortal, waiting for resurrection.
Brother Kan still held the wooden box with both hands, and stepped back with a blank face, "I don't want to see her die, and I don't want her to die." ”
Long Ziyan stepped forward and hugged Brother Kan and said: "Good brother, love is deep and righteous, I know that you like her from the bottom of your heart, but don't hurt him for the love in your heart, if that's the case, you will be 10,000 times more uncomfortable than now." ”
"What would you do if the purple kite was dying of life?" Brother Kan pushed away Long Zi's eyes and ran towards Meng Xiaozhi, who was waiting for help at the bottom of the cave.
Long Ziyan didn't chase after him, and the purple kite urged: "Brother Zijing, go and stop Brother Kan." ”
"No need, whether this pill is toxic or not, I just guess, Meng Xiaozhi is already terminally ill, take a gamble! Purple kites? ”
"Huh?"
"You are absolutely not allowed to do this kind of thing with the three of us in the future, otherwise this scene will repeat itself."
The purple kite didn't dare to speak and bowed her head in contemplation, and Longgang asked, "What now?" ”
"Isn't Jingbu already in hand, as for the King of Chu Mourning, he is also a Ming monarch in the history of Chu who is not willing to lag behind and dares to change, a Ming monarch worthy of praise, we have achieved our goal, there is a way to steal, it is inconvenient to disturb more, continue to let him rest here." The trio then descended to the tomb on the ground floor.
The four of them returned to the bottom of the cave, Zhang Hualei hugged Meng Xiaozhi and looked at the four of them with anticipation, Brother Kan became hesitant, a few days ago he was still young and beautiful, and the energetic Meng Xiaozhi was gray-haired today, and his face was gone, Brother Kan watched Meng Xiaozhi slowly walk up to him step by step and asked again: "Is this disease really incurable?" ”
Zhang Hualei nodded, Brother Kan took out the wooden box, his hands trembled and said, "This is the elixir of life refined by King Chu Mourning, feed her." ”
Zhang Hualei stretched out his hand and was about to take the medicine, but at this time, Lao Li Tou broke into the cave and strode towards a few people, Long Ziyan asked vigilantly: "Old man, why are you here?" ”
Lao Li said as he strode forward: "I don't have to ask you, throw me alone in that labyrinthine hole, you know how hard I spent to find you to find here, hey, how did this girl become like this?" ”
"Old man, where's your gun?"
"I lost it on the way." As he spoke, he approached Brother Kan.
Long Ziyan grabbed Brother Kan and stepped back, pointed at the bronze sword and asked, "Lost the gun?" It's time for the old guy to finish singing, seeing that you performed quite well along the way, do you want to award you a Best Actor Award
。 ”
Lao Li Tou said with an innocent face: "What is this little brother talking about, what actor?" ”
"Don't pretend! You are an old man who is not at home to take care of his life, and he has become a guide at a young age, and he is familiar with Shennongjia, especially Shennong Valley, like his own backyard, I was a little suspicious of you when I was in Zizhu River, and when I saw the person who was bitten to death by a broken snake, not only did not call the police, but also thought about what was the purpose of destroying the corpse? I'm afraid that more people will find out your secret. ”
