Chapter 106 The Origin of Fire and Water
"Can this really restore sight to people who are blind?" Ziche said as he stared at the beads in his hand with Qianyan, chattering and studying, and the two of them didn't seem to mind how disgusting the thing in their hands was. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Feng Xin glanced at me as if he didn't have anything, fished out another eyeball from the pool, and paused and replied, "It's just that it is said in the historical materials that I have not seen a record of the real thing."
Qian Yu curiously put the eyeball in front of his nose and sniffed it several times, "Although this fruit looks quite scary, it does taste quite fragrant. By the way, you just said that this can cure eye diseases, so ...... What happens to people who have no problem with their eyes? Clairvoyance?"
"Uh-huh, maybe my vision will soar above 8.0 or something!" I couldn't help but say, I remember watching a program on TV that tested my eyesight, and concluded that the best eyesight in the world was the Maasai people, an African people, with a visual acuity of 8.0 with the naked eye. It is equivalent to being able to see a lion 10 kilometers away.
Then, Feng Xin grabbed a purple eyeball and walked up to me, raised his eyebrows and said, "You can see clearly, this is not really a dead eyeball, it just looks like it
now."
"Don't look at it." I instinctively turned my head away.
With a preconceived notion, even if Feng Xin explained it to me, he still had some resistance in his heart, and he looked at the purple beads handed to him with his face and his spare eyes.
In short, Feng Xin ignored my wishes, only to see him peel off the skin of the purple eyeballs and explain at the same time.
In the library of his hometown, there are many ancient books and literature, many of which are folklore or mythological classics, and of course some legendary events are completely unverifiable. But after all, these transmissions are also part of historical changes. His family naturally collected a lot of "legends" for historians.
Feng Xin finished peeling the skin, and then began to peel the flesh.
Legend has it that the blood grape is a fantasy fruit that has only appeared in ancient mythology and can cure eye diseases. No matter what kind of eye disease you have, even if you are blind, you can immediately regain your sight as long as you eat blood grapes. The blood grapes described in ancient books have a purple-red appearance and a fruity aroma like fresh grapes, but they are larger than the size of ordinary grapes. The skin is thin and tender, revealing the flesh and seeds inside, which looks like a human eye at first glance.
The purple fruit in front of him fully confirms what the book says.
Shennong not only tasted herbs, but also taught people farming skills and expanded agriculture. And personally planted many rare herbs, blood grapes and gold leaves are one of the strange flowers and plants planted by the legendary Shennong.
It's just that Shennong has cultivated many magical herbs like elixir, and according to legend, those herbs have become legends.
I looked at Feng Xin peeling the purple beads and found that it was really a fruit. At first glance, it looks terrifying, but after watching it for a long time, it doesn't feel disgusting, and even begins to be amazed.
"A lot of historical materials are collected by the people, and there are really not many records about Shennong Baicao, and they are not examinable. It's just that......
There is one thing that is very paradoxical." Feng Xin handed me the peeled flesh of the fruit seeds, and said with a twisted eyebrow.
Paradox? I was stunned for a moment, and the two people next to me also fell silent.
"Hmph, tell me how to be paradoxical." Ziche asked.
Feng Xin raised his chin and looked at the environment of the stone cave carefully, and said lightly, "It is said that blood grapes are rare, mainly because this fruit only grows in the land of yin and yang."
"What?" I reorganized the language spoken by Feng Xin in my head.
"The Land of Yin and Yang...... Is this a place of yin and yang? Because this is between the ground and the underground?" Qian Yan turned the flashlight light source to the top of the cave, looking back and forth with a puzzled expression.
"What is the land of yin and yang?" Ziche rubbed his nose and asked.
Feng Xin shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know that what the ancient secretary had entered was only written in the land of yin and yang.
Ziche nodded, no more questions.
"Hey, there is a book that says that people with good eyes will eat blood grapes, what will happen if they eat blood grapes?" Qian Yu didn't give up and asked again.
Feng Xin cleared his throat, "Since you grew up in the land of yin and yang, do you think that you can already see the people of the yang world, what else can you see after eating?"
"Ghosts." Ziche immediately blurted out.
Qian Yu instantly lost color when he heard this, and quickly threw away the blood grapes in his hand and shouted, "Then I don't dare to eat it."
"Damn, do you want to eat?" I looked at her in surprise, and said in my heart who would pick up something casually and want to stuff it into my mouth, "I said that eldest sister, you have a sick brain, you are not sick, do you want to report to the hospital when we go out this time?"
"Don't you find the taste of this grape tempting for a moment?"
I rolled my eyes at Qian Yan and shook my head, "I thought about it when I only smelled it, but I gave up the second I saw the entity."
Qian Yu grimaced at me, and he looked quite playful. At the same time, a strong shock of the earth's crust suddenly came from the soles of his feet.
"What's going on? Earthquake?" Qian Yu shouted in panic.
The shaking extended to the cave in a very short period of time. At the top, many small stones and blood grapes couldn't withstand the violent shaking and fell down one after another, although it was already known that this purple bead was a rare plant fruit, but the scene of things that looked like human eyeballs smashing down in a string in an instant was still a little terrifying.
I shouted while hiding from the rocks, it was really terrible to encounter an earthquake underground, no matter how big the space here is, even if there are 100 pings, it will be crushed into a patty. Before I could even react, my legs were already running briskly towards the intersection. I suspect that the epicenter of the earthquake was nearby, and the magnitude of the earthquake was so violent that it was like sitting in a rushing car and feeling dizzy, and one of them did not step steadily, and the whole person fell to the ground, and half of his body slipped into the mud of the wine pool.
Qian Yan had already run to the entrance, kicked off the stones blocked in front of the tunnel with Feng Xin, and anxiously beckoned us to return as soon as possible.
The cart came back and pulled me out of the wine swamp, but just as I was out of the mire, the earthquake suddenly stopped, and everything was calm again.
"Quick, go up, before the next wave of aftershocks comes." Qian Yu urged.
"Oh, yes! That's right!" Hearing Qian's shout, I suddenly came back to my senses and ran back with the back of the car.
Behind him, there was a strange hissing sound from the spring in the crack of the rock, like the breath of a creature. Feng Xin, Qian Cai, and the car running beside them suddenly stopped moving, and the three of them looked at the spring like stone statues.
Before I could react, the next second, I heard a loud bang.
In an instant, a red flame erupted from the spring of the waterfall.
The flames burst out so suddenly that everyone was taken aback, and they froze in place with their faces staring at each other, and lost their voices in surprise.
After a while, "Hmph, I finally understand, this is the true meaning of the land of yin and yang." Feng Xin snorted and said, his gray pupils reflecting the orange light.
"What do you really mean?" I thought about it and thought it was weird, but I still couldn't understand it.
Feng Xin narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "The land of yin and yang refers to the place where water and fire come from the same source."
Water and fire are in contact with each other, and it is logically impossible for them to appear at the same point. I saw that the clear spring water was flowing from the mouth of the spring, and there was an orange-red flame burning in the water.
