In the bronze mirror, his face is aging, and his youth is gone.

I touched the wrinkles on my face, and the pain in my heart made me not think much about it.

I took off an oil lamp from the cave wall and walked towards the depths of the cave opened by the Medicine King, and the little Zhou Tian compass on my body vibrated again, and the pointer pointed to a stone trough in front of me.

It is a cave that looks like stalactites, and the cave is surrounded by carved stone lattices, and in each stone compartment there is a small medicine bottle that seals the mouth of the bottle.

Next to the stone trough of the cave, there was also a collapsed medicine cabinet, all the medicines in it were scattered on the ground, although they were not moldy, but when I lightly touched one of the pills, the pills immediately turned into powder, and so did the rest of the medicinal herbs.

Presumably, the Medicine King didn't expect that after his death, no one would find this place for so long.

But think about it, such a hidden place, if I hadn't stumbled into it by mistake, and there was still Xiao Zhoutian's compass on my body, how could I have found his real retreat.

At this point, I finally discovered another use of the Xiao Zhou Tian compass, that is, treasure hunting.

No wonder Xiao Wu and Mr. Chang, including Guo Blind, they all praised Xiao Zhoutian's compass, Xiao Zhoutian's compass took me to Yaowang Cave because of Rendan, and now reminds me that the stone trough in front of me is different.

I looked at the stone trough in front of me, there was a man-made hole in the stone trough, and there were some small holes around the stone trough, which seemed to be used for drainage.

When I looked up at the top of the middle cave, I found a stalactite hanging on it, and the tip of the stalactite was aimed at the hole in the groove below.

It is rumored that stalactites are perennial and dripping stones, if it is a liquid dripping in a specific feng shui treasure land, it is a treasure liquid formed by absorbing the essence of mountains and rivers, if it can be collected, it can be used to prolong life. It's just that the treasure liquid of stalactites is difficult to collect, either it is polluted by dust in the thousands of years of dripping stones, or the new liquid replaces the old liquid, and the effect is not good.

And the stone trough under him is obviously specially hewn, and the medicine king Sun Simiao loves immortality so much that he actually thought of using such a method to collect the treasure liquid dripping from the top of the stalactites. The treasure liquid of the mountains dripped into the holes of the stone trough, leaving the essence, and the rest of the water flowed out through the small holes under the stone trough.

If this method works, isn't the sink filled with mountain essence at this time?

The essence of the mountains collected more than a thousand years ago to the present, the surface of the stone trough has not been destroyed, and now the stalactites above the mountains have not lost the slightest moisture.

I picked up the small medicine bottle in the stone lattice around the cave, opened the medicine bottle, and found that there was nothing inside, presumably this small medicine bottle is either used by the medicine king to hold the treasure liquid in the future, or the medicine king used to cultivate the treasure liquid dripping from the stalactite, and even the medicine in the medicine cabinet is used to cultivate the treasure liquid in the stone trough.

I don't know what's so unusual about the treasure liquid in the stone trough, but since the Medicine King can spend so much effort to cultivate, it must be extraordinary.

I found the tools used by the medicine king to dig the cave in the cave, the wooden tools were rotten, and I only found a stone hammer and a sharp and curved small sword, and on the hilt of the small sword were engraved two words, fish intestines.

I have long heard that the ancient people's skills in forging swords and making weapons are difficult to compare with modern technology, and now I see that it is true, a sword more than a thousand years ago, the sword body has no rust, and the surface still emits a cold light.

By this time I was so hungry that I hadn't eaten for at least two days, and I had long since lost the strength to run, so I smashed the stone trough in front of me with a stone hammer for a long time.

After the stone trough was broken, a strange medicinal fragrance came to my nose.

I removed the rubble from the trough, only to find that it was filled with a large piece of milky ointment.

This ointment is something cultivated by the Medicine King with the mountain treasure liquid and many medicinal herbs during his lifetime, and the color has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and it is tender and soft to the touch.

The medicine king's human pill has a special effect, and it looks like a pebble, I don't know how to take it for the time being, but the milky white ointment under the eye is fragrant, making people have the urge to eat it.

I used a small knife of fish intestines to cut off a piece of ointment and put it in my mouth, the taste was not very delicious, there was a strong smell of medicine, but there should be no problem with the stomach.

I ate a few small pieces and didn't dare to eat too much, when I used to listen to the old lady tell some stories about ghosts, foxes and demons in Futuling, I often heard that the woodcutter found the fairy treasure in the cave, and ate it violently, and was killed by the medicinal power of the fairy treasure, just like a weak person even if he drinks the ginseng soup of an ordinary year, he will definitely have a nosebleed for the first time, which is the truth that the void is beyond supplementation.

After eating a few pieces of ointment, I felt some strength in my body, and my body was no longer so cold and painful, I looked at the crossbow arrow on my calf, the wound had begun to bleed pus, and if I didn't treat it, once it became inflamed, I would have to die if I didn't die.

Right now, there's no way to go out to find a doctor in the wilderness, and I don't know if the people of the Snake Sect have left, and I'm afraid I'm going to die before I reach the populated town.

For me, who doesn't understand pharmacology, I can only rely on the ointment of the predecessors of the king of medicine for now.

I don't usually have any faith, but at this time, I began to pray for the protection of the Medicine King's predecessors, and I felt deeply ashamed of breaking into his Qing Mansion.

I sat down next to the stone trough, put the oil lamp on my lap, took off the only vest left on my body, cut off the arrow of the crossbow arrow with the small sword of fish intestines, held the calf with one hand, and held the tail of the crossbow arrow with the other, and only pulled it out slightly, and the blood immediately overflowed.

I was so painful that I almost fainted, and I couldn't help but scream.

I took a deep breath and gritted my teeth and pulled the crossbow arrow out of my leg, blood flowing straight down and numb with pain.

I put the tip of the small sword on the oil lamp, removed the pus from the calf, cut off the ointment from the stone trough and applied it to the wound on the calf, wrapped the wound with my clothes, and leaned against the side of the stone trough and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, there was a dull pain in the calf, I don't know how long it was, the bloody clothes on the calf were untied, and there was no pus and blood on the leg, only blood clots, it seemed that the ointment worked.

I took some more ointment, then got up and walked towards the inside of the Yaowang Cave, and after walking more than ten steps, I came to a spacious cave, and there was a light from the top of the cave that led to the bottom of the cave.

By the light, I saw that this was already the end of the Yaowang Cave, and there was no way out.

The sound of water running outside can be faintly heard in this cave, and if you guess correctly, this cave was built inside the mountain where the waterfall is located.

In this cave, there is a pool of bubbling water, and the surface of the water is still steaming.

The waterfall and spring are a treasure trove of feng shui, but it is impossible to form a hot spring, because the bottom of the hot spring is a volcano, and according to the records in the secret records of feng shui, it must have been modified for feng shui.

During his lifetime, the king of medicine was not only unparalleled in medicine, but also proficient in Buddhism and Taoism, and had a wide range of knowledge, so it was not difficult for him to change the pattern of feng shui.

And this hot spring can be favored by the medicine king, which can explain his peculiarity.

I picked up the hot spring and drank a small sip, the pool water was sweet, at this time I was already a little seriously dehydrated, so I drank a few big sips and felt that it was okay to take off my clothes and step into the hot spring, the pool water was very shallow, the wound touched the water and made me sting unbearably, I gritted my teeth and lay in the hot spring, soaked my whole body in it, time passed very slowly, I don't know how long it took.

When I opened my eyes again, a faint ray of moonlight cast from the cave above the cave.

The wounds on my body were all healed, leaving only some faint marks, and although the wound on my calf was not healed, the bruises on it were gone, and new flesh had grown.

So I was in the Yaowang Cave, I could finally be sure that I could survive, there was nothing else to eat in the cave, I ate the ointment in the stone trough in the cave during the day, and applied some ointment to my legs, and at night I soaked in the hot spring to sleep, I would find that there were some dirt in my pores that were discharged, and I vaguely felt that my body was getting stronger and stronger.

Until one day, there was only one piece of ointment left in the cave stone trough, and I could eat it for a day at most.

I looked at the stone steps on the cave wall, leading up to the top, and during the days of recuperation in Yaowang Cave, I used a stone hammer and a fish intestine sword to dig up the stone steps to climb up every day, and I could climb up as long as I carved a hole.

I'm going to get out of here.
