Chapter 7 A Mouthful of Eyebrows
Liu Ci was poured a stomach full of sweet spring water, and the burning sensation in his throat disappeared.
Then she noticed that her head was less dizzy. When she concentrates on seeing the lotus pond, she can really "see". Even if he was born in a family of faith and knew some of the wonders of the world better than ordinary Federation people, Liu Ci encountered this situation for the first time.
The lotus pond hid in the center of her eyebrows.
A person's eyebrows are so small that they can hide a pool. If Liu Ziyuan, who is in charge of the supernatural arts, is here, he can explain to his sister: The white mist space hidden in the center of the eyebrows is called "Zhihai".
When the cultivator cultivates qi into the body, when the cultivation breaks through the innate and is able to see inward, the sea of consciousness is opened, and he has divine consciousness.
Liu Ci's current state is very mysterious. She has never practiced, and she doesn't know what to look into, but Zhihai is far ahead of herself to be opened, to be precise, in the case of Liu Ci's involuntariness, her Zhihai has been preemptively occupied by Bai Yuchi. ”
The white jade pond is three meters square, no more than one meter deep, and it is filled with two-thirds of the pond water, and a lotus leaf that has not yet fully stretched out is crumpled and floating on the water. The place exuded a pleasant atmosphere, but Liu Ci could only "see" and could not enter, only the pool water inside could listen to Liu Ci's command, which successfully alleviated her thirst.
The sun in late autumn didn't have much heat, and Liu Ci didn't know how long he had been lying on the grass. The campfire beside her was completely devoid of temperature, filled with water, and she was no longer thirsty, but she felt hungry.
Hunger pulls her back to reality. Liu Ci quickly realized that after such a long time, she had not died of poison, which had to be said to be a miracle.
Could it be that the pool water still has a detoxifying effect?
Liu Ci didn't bother to study the white jade pool hidden in the center of her eyebrows, twisted her stiff neck to observe herself, and found that the ice blue color on her skin did not continue to spread, but it did not disappear.
It turns out that it is not detoxifying, but slowing down the spread of venom? Liu Ci smiled bitterly, she is now half paralyzed, even if the pond water can stop the spread of snake venom, she is also a paralyzed person with limited mobility. The mountains and forests were full of dangers, and if the flying snake swam back, she would not have a torch in her hand to scare it away.
Liu Ci is very unwilling, strange things have happened in the center of her eyebrows, and she can't just find out that she is different from ordinary people, and she will come to a dead end again.
After "watching" for a long time, she felt mentally tired. After closing her eyes and resting for a while, Liu Ci condensed and "looked" again: the white jade pool was still like that, and the lotus leaves had not changed much, but her "sight" turned in a different direction, and on the other side of the white jade pool, she found two thick paper thread-bound books.
In the cosmic era, there was an explosion of information, and all book knowledge was recorded with light brains, and paper books in the Earth Federation had been eliminated for thousands of years, not to mention the two thick books discovered by Liu Ci, which were still old-fashioned thread-bound books.
This is only the case with pre-New Era ancient books...... Liu Ci couldn't understand why Bai Yuchi suddenly appeared and why he also came with two books. But to appear here, shouldn't it be a cabbage product that is everywhere?
She tried, but she couldn't take out either book, but she was able to flip through it by the lotus pond.
"The Complete Collection of Fu Gong"? What the hell, Liu Ci was dizzy by the unsegmented ancient text at the beginning. As a descendant of the Liu family, in addition to the interstellar lingua franca, Liu Ci naturally learned the Chinese mother tongue, and even included some rather remote ancient Chinese languages. But now that she is dizzy, she is obviously not suitable for such in-depth research.
Instead, it was another "Qi Min Technique New Edition", and when I opened it, Liu Ci almost laughed.
The 24 solar terms, farming, gourmet recipes, papermaking, and weaving are all kinds of complicated, it is simply an encyclopedia of life that instinctively achieves self-sufficiency in all directions, and many crops are also illustrated, Liu Ci suspects that it is simply a knowledge system tailored to make her feel at ease as a "wild man".
This book, placed in the period of agricultural civilization before the new era of the earth, is undoubtedly a treasure. But in the eyes of Liu Ci, who lives in the era of the universe and relies entirely on agricultural robots for farming, as long as he is willing to travel interstellar at any time, some knowledge is really backward and "cute".
For example, the appendix says that mashing dandelions and applying their juice to the wound can prevent inflammation. The root system of dandelion is decocted with water, which can eliminate internal inflammation and has a significant effect on reducing fever.
If the above is still the normal medical treatment method in ancient China, then such as sprinkling plant ash on the wound to stop the bleeding, it is completely unacceptable to Liu Ci. Liu Ci will not wear the clothes that were slightly stained in the past, and the dirty grass and wood ashes are sprinkled on the wound, she can't imagine it!
"When a snake is attacked in the wild, within seven steps of the snake infestation, there are herbs that can detoxify it......" Skipping the section of plant ash, Liu Ci completely read the earthwork in the appendix as an interesting novel. When she saw this paragraph, she didn't react at first. When she understood that she was not dazzled, the great joy overwhelmed Liu Ci in an instant.
Not only in the agrarian era, but everywhere this book is placed, it is a gem! Liu Ci quickly corrected her judgment, "There must be an antidote within seven steps of a poisonous snake", and she didn't seem to have to go to see the ancestors of the Liu family.
What about the flying snake that spits out ice ridges, as long as its saliva contains toxins, it is essentially a type of poisonous snake. Liu Ciru grasped the last straw as a drowning person, and she could only hope for the home remedies recorded in the appendix of "Qi Min's Technique".
Liu Ci carefully read the description of identifying the antidote weed, and then began to move his stiff body to look in the direction where the flying snake attacked and fled.
Because she was half paralyzed, she crawled very hard in the grass, and the grass was a paradise for insects and ants, Liu Ci was bitten all over her body, but she was tired and hungry, and the life crisis was not resolved, and she couldn't even use the strength to hate itchy.
Carefully identifying and comparing in the grass, Liu Ci tried to eat a lot of weeds, some of which tasted the same as chewing wax, and most of them were bitter and weird, making her little face wrinkled.
It wasn't until she put a grass with leaves like gladiolia and pea-sized fruit in her mouth and chewed it twice that she knew she had found it.
Putting gladiolia grass in his mouth and chewing it, Liu Ci really felt that the bitter grass juice was supreme delicious at the moment.
The sequelae of being injured by the flying snake made Liu Ci weak for a whole day.
The remaining walnuts were eaten clean by her, and the time that she was curled up in the tree hole was used by Liu Ci to read "Qi Min's New Edition".
The wound on the left shoulder was still indiscriminately bandaged, and Liu Ci washed the wound with lotus pond water, which was very cold and comfortable. The lotus pond water is not only drinkable, but also has the effect of delaying venom and analgesia, Liu Ci intuitively felt that these were not the most important effects of the lotus pond water, but she had no clue at this time, and she didn't know how to use the lotus pond water.
What is happy is that the flying snake did not go and came back to attack her this night, and what is not very pleasant is that the wolf howls on the opposite hill have not stopped all night, so that she does not sleep very well.
The next day, Liu Ci embarked on a journey to find food according to the map of "Qi Min's New Edition".
She felt that the giant sword had a deterrent power, but in fact it could not be used conveniently, and yesterday she was bitten by a flying snake that could spit ice edges, Liu Ci didn't dare to look at the place where she was as an ordinary forest anymore. It was extremely insecure to go out empty-handed, Liu Ci chose a strong wooden stick with the thickness of a baby's arm, and sharpened one end at the edge of the giant sword.
Liu Ci practiced a set of basic movements according to his memory, and then he happily carried the "weapon" on the road.
Before she could find food, she found a familiar bush of plants: dwarf, jagged leaves, completely broken fluffy seeds, the dandelions described in the appendix to Qi Min's Techniques.
The record that "there must be an antidote within seven steps of a poisonous snake" is too powerful, and there is some credibility that ordinary weeds can reduce inflammation. The palm that was worn out the day before yesterday was extremely red and swollen, and the yellow water that made Liu Ci sick this morning began to flow, which was undoubtedly a symptom of inflammation, and she had washed it with lotus pond water, but it didn't have much effect. Liu Ci squatted down and picked dandelion leaves, mashed them, and smeared the juice on his palm, the dandelion juice seeped into the wound and stinged, but after a while, it was cool and comfortable.
has not seen the exact curative effect, which does not prevent Liu Ci from defending "Qi Min's Technique" to the position of "Bible Treasure" again!
Of course, without the disgusting application of plant ash to the wound, she would have been more convinced of the book.
Knowledge is power, and soon Liu Ci tasted the sweetness of reading ancient books diligently last night-
It turned out that the purple-black, purple-black, hanging on the withered yellow vines, densely packed with bunches of berries, were mountain grapes. Pick a few and throw them in your mouth, sweet with a slight sourness, except for the small size, the skin is thicker, and the taste of the grapes that Liu Ci used to eat is no different. Yes, this one needs to be picked up more!
Picking a lot of mountain grapes and tying them together with animal tendons to carry them on the road, less than a kilometer away, Liu Ci found the wild kiwi described in "Qi Min Yaoshu", green skin and yellow meat, this fruit is thought to have been extinct in the catastrophe before the new era of the earth, and she has never eaten it before.
Kiwi fruit is more edible than mountain grapes, and it will not be tarnished due to acidity, Liu Ci ate seven or eight in a row with an open stomach.
She found a small bag of dried fungus behind a pile of rotten wood. Wild fungus is a delicious mountain delicacy, Liu Ci has eaten countless times in the past, and the first time he saw the wild fungus that has not been soaked, it is small and dry, and it is difficult to associate it with the fat and crispy fried fungus. According to the "Qi Min Yao Shu", natural fungus is mostly born in the mountains and forests with abundant rain in summer, and damp rotten wood is a necessity for its growth.
Found a bush of wild mushrooms that could be used, but unfortunately the mycorrhizae were all rotten, and the joy on Liu Ci's face froze immediately after picking the fruit with his hand and pinching the rotten juice with his hand.
Perhaps her bad luck was temporarily used up after she almost died in Shekou yesterday, and before the sun set, Liu Ci returned to the tree hole safely with all kinds of edible berries. At noon, she had faintly seen the figure of a leopard, and she held her breath to avoid it safely, and besides, she had not encountered a magical beast like the Flying Snake again in a day.
Liu Ci was extremely glad that the place where she was located was like a safe zone, and there were no large beasts within a radius of three or four miles. The not very optimistic news is that at noon when the mountain fog clears and the sight is the best, she climbs a big tree dozens of meters high and looks into the distance, no matter which direction it looks at, it is an endless mountain range, with her ten-year-old body that is now dragging her legs, she may not have crossed a mountain, and she was killed in seconds when she encountered a monster that was more powerful than the flying snake.
Looking out of the mountains in a short period of time, there is little hope.
The food collected today was enough to eat for three or four days, and Liu Ci decided to start practicing physical arts from tomorrow in order to get out of the forest as soon as possible.
Before going to bed, I flipped through another ancient book, "Fu Gong Daquan", and it was still three words: I don't understand.
