Chapter 248: Peerless Medicine Strange Man
When the two of them were preparing to go down the mountain, the shopkeeper suddenly said embarrassedly: "Mr. Professor, my stomach hurts a little now, I want to, I got up in the middle of the night tonight, just because my stomach was uncomfortable, but after seeing you and that strange rainbow, I forgot about it when I was excited, and I didn't pull it, and now it's very uncomfortable, you wait for me to get down, and I'll be fine right away." ”
The professor had no choice but to wait for the shopkeeper to finish pulling it first.
The shopkeeper probably didn't dare to go too far because he was afraid, so he only squatted down in the grass a few meters away, and talked to the professor while pulling back: "Don't stay too far away from me, I'm a little scared."
The professor couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only cover his nose and wait in place.
I don't know what they ate, the of the shopkeeper really stinks, a gust of wind blows, the smelly professor wants to vomit, the professor really can't stand it, so he quietly walked a few meters away, and took out a cigarette and smoked.
The unknown night bird in the mountains, a few cries from time to time, the cool breeze of Xixi, mixed with the smell of feces from the shopkeeper, and the smell of the two female monsters and blood, the professor took a few puffs of cigarettes, and all kinds of weirdness just now kept churning in his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.
As a sinologist, he has studied Chinese culture for decades, but the more he studied, the more he felt the mystery and mystery of this ancient civilization, this was also his first in-depth visit to China, he did not expect to encounter so many strange events, although there were many dangers, but also felt very exciting, the professor knew that he was an adventurer in his bones, for him, danger and pleasure always went hand in hand.
Just when the professor was thinking wildly, suddenly, the shopkeeper screamed in the grass, the professor's nerves were actually tense, because in this kind of dangerous place, it is necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, listening to the shopkeeper's exclamation, the professor almost instantly pulled out the revolver on his waist, turned on the flashlight, and rushed over.
In the grass, I saw that the shopkeeper was already sitting on the ground, and he didn't even have time to lift his pants, and the professor was shocked that in the place where the shopkeeper was, there was a blue, fluorescent, unknown cluster of flowers and plants, and these flowers and plants could watch them grow up.
Both the professor and the shopkeeper were stunned by the sight in front of them!
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the professor quickly extinguished the flashlight, and in the darkness, the fluorescent plants became even brighter and stranger. In his mind, a thought popped up - could this be the kind of plant he had read about in books?
It was about 20 years ago, when the professor was already studying for a Ph.D. Because of his high talent, the tutor was very fond of this student, and they often discussed various academic issues together, sometimes for hours.
On one occasion, the professor took him to the university library, a library dedicated to the collection of ancient books from Asian countries, which was strictly managed - the temperature and humidity were kept in it, and it was not allowed to take pictures of these ancient books, let alone borrow them, and he had to wear gloves when reading them.
The tutor found an ancient book from China and told the professor that the book had been lost in China and was written by an "enlightened" scholar during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. This scholar can be called the strangest person in the history of China, and even in the history of the world.
This person is neither a monk nor a Taoist, and the reason why he was able to "become enlightened" was not by hard cultivation or meditation, but by virtue of his unique talent - and more importantly, by a mysterious elixir - the world he saw in his eyes was very different from what ordinary people see.
When this Chinese scholar was eleven or twelve years old, for some reason, his parents died in just one year, and the neighbors at that time all felt that his parents died very strangely - both of them were not yet thirty years old at the time, they were in the prime of life, and they were both in good health, without any history of disease, and the most bizarre thing was that when these two people died, the expressions on their faces were an unpredictable and strange smile, which made everyone who saw it feel creepy.
A corpse with a smile on its face is so rare.
In addition, to the bewilderment of these neighbors, the scholar, who was still a child at the time, did not cry a single word after the death of his parents, and he was extremely indifferent to the death of his parents, as if the dead person had nothing to do with him. The neighbors couldn't figure out why this unusually intelligent child was so indifferent to the death of his parents.
Speaking of which, the scholar's family is quite mysterious - no one knows where their ancestral home is, the villagers only know that the scholar's parents moved to this small mountain village, and their family rarely interacts with the villagers, usually only hunting and collecting medicine for a living, although they do not have close contact with the villagers, but they are very kind, they will always greet politely when they meet, and often share the prey with the neighbors, so they get along with the villagers very well.
After the death of his parents, the scholar, who was only a teenager at the time, began to live on his own, going to the mountains every day to collect medicine and sell it at the pharmacy in the bazaar, so as to make ends meet.
Time flies, this scholar slowly grew up, I don't know where he learned to read, anyway, he began to read gradually, and bought a lot of books. Unlike his parents, he was cold and never associated with anyone, and people thought he had an odd temper and was difficult to get along with.
However, with a series of events that followed, people gradually realized that this person was far more strange than they imagined.
The villagers gradually discovered that the appearance of this scholar always seemed to stay in his twenties, so majestic and vigorous; By the time he was in his fifties, his contemporaries in the village were deaf and gray-haired, and the scholar still looked to be in his early twenties, and people privately said that he must be a goblin, and the scholar had become a well-known stranger in the area.
What happened after that made people appreciate the strangeness of this strange man.
At that time, the area where the scholars lived, there was a plague of strict zhòng, the strictest zhòng, within a radius of several hundred miles, almost became a no-man's land, many people died one by one, these people in the epidemic area were not infected, ready to flee to escape the plague, but also by the separatist warlords at that time to seal up, some even directly escaped from these epidemic areas, unified arrest, directly killed, and then burned the corpses.
The people in these affected areas are really pitiful - if they stay at home, sooner or later they will be infected, but if they flee, they will be killed. Later, the dead bodies were no longer buried, and it happened to be summer again, and the rotting corpses and the large number of flies increased the speed of the spread of the plague, and the area became a hell for people.
But it is incredible that in the village where the scholars lived, in addition to the scholars, there were still some young women who survived. But all the men, children, and middle-aged and elderly women in the village had the same fate as the people in the other villages in that area, one by one they died of the plague.
The scholar and the young women were the only survivors within a radius of hundreds of miles. It was not until many years after the plague had passed that people from outside the area began to dare to enter.
People were amazed to find that in this plague area, where they thought they were all sick and dead, there was a man and dozens of women who survived, and they were red and healthy, and they were not affected by the plague in the slightest.
Later, out of nowhere, a rumor came out that all these young women who survived had relationships with scholars. In other words, as a young woman, as long as you sleep with a scholar for one night, you will not be infected by the plague.
People also gradually believed this rumor, because some of the women who survived had children with scholars. This is an anecdote that has been recorded in many historical documents of the time. And these things were also attached to the front of the book written by that scholar as background information for this book.
It is also mentioned in these background materials that after this strange incident, people at that time speculated about the origin of the scholar, and some people said that the scholar's family was by no means very human, and the scholar's parents were two apprentices who were proficient in the master of medicine, and the male and female apprentices were adopted by the master of medicine since childhood, and studied medicine with the master of medicine for many years.
However, the world is unpredictable, and what happened later is beyond everyone's imagination.
Here's the thing, these two apprentices later discovered the biggest secret of the medical master: this medical master, who spent a lifetime of painstaking efforts, used the secret recipe developed exclusively to refine three pills, these three pills, respectively, appear red, yellow, and blue, and among these three pills, only one has a miraculous effect on prolonging life, which can extend people's life several times; The other two are highly toxic, but even the medical masters themselves can't figure out which of these three pills is life-prolonging. Moreover, if you want to know which two are poisons, you can only try them in people, and you can't use other animals.
That is, even if other animals ate those two poison pills, they would not have any reaction. Therefore, although this medicine master refined these three pills, he did not dare to try them immediately. But what he didn't expect was that these two apprentices, whom he had regarded as his own since childhood, would actually remember these three pills, and he didn't expect that these two apprentices would be so vicious.
As the two apprentices grew up, the two soon reached the age of the beginning of love, and the two were grinding together all day long, inevitably falling in love for a long time, young men and women, it was the most hot age, so they couldn't control it, and things happened between men and women. After it happened once, I tasted the sweetness, and I couldn't stop it later.
There is no impermeable wall, and over time, this matter will inevitably be revealed.
Late one night, the male apprentice was hungry and thirsty, and quietly touched the female apprentice's house, and the two couldn't help but hug each other naked, and the storm rose. It actually alarmed this master of medicine.
When people are older, they often sleep very lightly, and the master of medicine sounds as if something is wrong in a daze on the bed, so he quietly gets up, walks outside gently, and listens carefully.
