Faced with the charming eyes that appeared after the gray-black gas was blown by me, I remembered that there was a record of such a medicinal herb in the pharmacopoeia, because it was recorded in the last few pages of the whole pharmacopoeia, so I remember it more clearly.

The first sentence of the pharmacopoeia is: This thing is rare, and it is something that can be found and unattainable.

It is rumored that in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, because of the alternation of power, it led to social turmoil, and all kinds of evil were rampant, and some could even harm the dynasty.

At that time, a foreigner came to my kingdom from the sea, and when he was halfway there, he was robbed, and many tributes on the ship disappeared from the people in this robbery.

In those days, it was difficult to recover what was lost in such a situation, let alone at sea.

Later, when the pirates were checking the tribute, they found a specially made box, which was finely made and extremely tightly sealed, and the keyhole seemed to be specially made, and the pirates tried hard to open it, and they searched everywhere for the key but did not find it, and it was probably thrown into the sea by the people on board at that time.

In order to open this box, the pirates went into the sea to salvage everywhere, but in the vast sea, what is the difference between looking for a key and looking for a needle in a haystack?

This is undoubtedly a futile approach.

After several tosses to no avail, and fearing that the precious contents of the box would be destroyed by brute force, the pirates had no choice but to take the box back to the interior to sell.

Because it could not be opened, the box tossed and turned for a long time, and fell into the hands of several wealthy merchants, but it was worthless, so it had to change hands until it was finally obtained by a salt merchant.

At that time, the salt merchants were very rich, and most of them were nouveau riche, in today's words, rich and capricious.

This rich and willful businessman simply made a bold decision to open the box with brute force, anyway, it was useless to store it, and smashed it directly, even if it destroyed the rare treasures inside, if it was lucky, at least one rare treasure was released, which was also a great joy.

Unexpectedly, opening this box is the coming of disaster.

The wealthy businessman hired more than a dozen locksmiths to pick the locks at a high price.

First of all, when opening the box, someone stuffed the configured key into the keyhole, and the box immediately spewed out a stream of venom, and the person who opened the box was destroyed at that time.

But in the era when human life was like a mustard, it was not a big deal to die, take off the body and bury it well, and come up again and continue to open the box.

The second person saw that the first person died miserably, and he already regretted it in his heart, but he couldn't help but do things after receiving the money, not to mention that the rich businessman ran away with a large number of family members, which was unrealistic, and he had to bite the bullet, and could only hope that he would be lucky and not be hurt by the organs.

With the experience of the first lockpicker, the second lockpicker stuck the handle of the key with one end of the stick and stuffed it into the keyhole.

The stick was long, but it didn't reach the range of an arrow.

The second man died under the sharp arrows that suddenly burst out of the box.

By the time the third person arrived, he was already trembling with fright, this guy was simply fully armed, put on armor, and took a shield, this set of equipment was comparable to a riot police at that time.

Unfortunately, no matter how well-equipped he was, he couldn't change his fate, because there were two accidents, the third key into the hole, the locksmith did not use his hands to insert the key, nor did he use a wooden stick to open it, but just used tweezers to clamp the key, and stuffed the key into the keyhole from the opposite direction, the result was that the box sprayed a thick fog, and the locksmith who was caught off guard did not even snort and fell on the box.

When he opened a box and three people died, the salt merchant's face was frightened at that time, and he even thought that someone was deliberately trying to harm him, but thinking about it, the one who sold him the box was also a rich merchant, and there seemed to be no grudge between the two of them, and the rich merchant had also tried to open the box, and he didn't know if there were any dead people.

He carefully recalled the expression and words of the rich merchant when he sold him the box, and instantly understood that this box had been opened by people with many illegal attempts before, and he didn't know how many people had died before it fell into his hands.

You know, to become a wealthy businessman in that era, it also requires a certain amount of brain and eyesight, this rich businessman immediately analyzed the causes and consequences of this matter, and immediately gritted his teeth and decided, open, must open, there are already three dead people, even if it is smashed, this box must be smashed!

The courage and indomitable spirit of the wealthy businessmen are commendable, but the idea of insisting on doing it knowing that it cannot be done is too extreme, and the final result is miserable.

The fourth locksmith was almost forcefully pressed against the box.

When the matter came to an end, the locksmith was also a little crazy, with dozens of gold ingots on one side, and the abyss on the other, even if he didn't open it, he would die, and the locksmith had to let it go.

Since the rich merchant said that he would smash the box open, then use the smash.

Of course, he didn't dare to really cut the box with a big axe, otherwise the rich merchant might as well find two people to smash it himself, where would he need a locksmith.

He used a chisel and a small hammer, as well as a saw.

'Ping Pong' smashed, no matter how hard the box is, it won't resist hours of tossing.

After the chisel was blunted, the hammer was smoothed, and the saw was broken more than a dozen times, the box was finally 'cut'.

Fortunately, he smashed the chisel saw this time, and he didn't do any damage to the opposite thing.

When the locksmith took out the things wrapped in yellow silk cloth tremblingly, the rich merchant jumped up excitedly, and the locksmith, because of his nervousness, went crazy on the spot, babbling and singing, dancing, and leaving the rich merchant's yard at some point.

Because everyone was attracted by what was in the hands of the rich merchant, and wanted to see what was under the yellow silk cloth, no one noticed the locksmith.

And this locksmith also became the only person who survived after witnessing the whole incident.

There is no doubt that he was pretending to be crazy at the time, because the opening of the box, even three people died, this locksmith did not dare to take it lightly, the locksmith who has been surrounded by a sense of crisis is undoubtedly the smartest, he pretended to be crazy and left the rich businessman, and then took a detour to the rich businessman's backyard.

How else to say that curiosity kills people? He had worked hard to open the box, and he would never be willing to do so without glancing at what was inside.

The moment the locksmith climbed the top of the wall, he just saw the moment when the rich merchant uncovered the yellow silk cloth.
