Chapter Twenty-Five: The Bottom of the Dangerous Lake
Liang Xiaomei didn't know how to find a thick book with dust almost half an inch thick from that corner, and the book looked okay after wiping off the dust.
Thick leather wraps around the cover, and the gold text on the cover reads Dragon Flying Phoenix Dance.
Materia Medica.
Ying Xiang weighed the heavy book in his hand and felt a little numb, he just wanted to find a book to pass the time, but this ...... It's such a thick book, when do you have to see it?
Liang Xiaomei casually stuffed the book to Yingxiang and then lowered her head to busy herself, Yingxiang was embarrassed to disturb with the book in his hand, so he found a stool and leaned against the door to read.
After reading the opening introduction of "Materia Medica", Yingxiang probably has an understanding of this book. It turned out that this book was written by a great physician surnamed Li a thousand years ago, and he spent two hundred years traveling almost all the famous mountains and rivers of this plane.
After that, he spent half his life processing the data of his travels all over the world, and compiled it into a book to compile the most comprehensive flora in history.
It's a pity that when he was three hundred and fifty-two years old, he ran out of immortals, and at that time, the Materia Medica was only half completed. After his death, his disciples picked up the pen to continue the unfinished business of the teacher, so there is the current 'Materia Medica'.
The entire Hundred Herbs Record contains more than 100,000 kinds of medicinal herbs in detail, which are distributed throughout the plane. Ying Xiang briefly flipped a few pages and found that the book was very new, as if it were a new book.
Without asking Liang Xiaomei, Yingxiang quickly understood the reason. Although there are many medicinal herbs recorded in the Wancao Record, nine out of ten percent of them do not grow in the area where they live, and even if they are recognized, they are of little use.
However, it is not bad to look at it in your spare time to increase your knowledge, and Eagle Xiang looked at it with interest.
It takes 3,000 years for a "child's fist" to mature, and after eating, it can greatly increase the strength of the fist. Really?
Hey, the seven-leaf clover blood grass, but any living creature dies when it touches it, and it is sucked dry and covered in blood and dies like a dried corpse? It's so terrifying that if you want to pick this herb, you can only dig out its rhizome and hold its rhizome in your hand.
Oh my God? There are flowers in the world that are four or five meters high? They still eat people? The leaves of cannibal flowers have the function of quickly stopping bleeding.
Fortunately, this flower does not grow in the southern regions, but in the western frontier. It's really not easy for you people living in Western Xinjiang, and if you don't make it, you will be eaten by a flower on the side of the road!
The concept of the region known to Yingxiang is roughly divided into five regions, of which the demon clan occupies four regions - the southern region, the western frontier, the northern territory, and the eastern plain.
The area occupied by the Terrans is the middle area surrounded by four areas, the Middle Heaven. It is said that Zhongtian is larger than the four domains combined, and it is full of spiritual energy and abundant products.
Ying Xiang knew that his area belonged to the Southern Regions, but it was difficult to imagine how big the Southern Regions were. The Green Valley can only be regarded as a tiny speck of dust in the vast Southern Regions.
Ying Xiang knew the vastness of the Southern Regions from the bone book of the Great Elder, and it seemed that there was a kingdom established by the Eagle Clan in the depths of the Southern Regions.
The author of the Materia Medica, the physician surnamed Li, is really not simple, and he actually spans many domains just to collect information on medicinal herbs. The introduction seems to mention something called a teleportation array, with the help of which Dr. Li was able to travel across domains.
Teleportation array? What a magical thing, I'm afraid this thing has never even seen the patriarch's grandfather.
The patriarch's grandfather once said after getting drunk once that he had been wandering outside for more than ten years, but the places he had reached were less than one ten-thousandth of the Southern Regions.
Continuing to read the Materia Medica, Yingxiang was completely fascinated unconsciously, as if following the author to travel the world.
The Materia Medica is a strange book, and each herb on it is described in great detail, with an illustration. Eagle Soar really expanded its horizons, it turns out that the world is so big and there are so many magical and unknown things.
Eagle Xiang is immersed in the world of the book, completely oblivious. Unconsciously, Ying Xiang felt that his neck was very sore, which seemed to be caused by reading for too long.
Ying Xiang stretched out his hand and hammered his sore neck, and when he looked up, he was taken aback.
When does the sun go down? So you read a book all day?
"Oh no, I remember that Xiaomei said that she was going to deal with medicinal herbs today, but she didn't do anything. Ying Xiang patted his head and stood up, very annoyed in his heart.
There was no shadow of Liang Xiaomei in the house, and Ying Xiang hurriedly ran out.
"Oops. An exclamation.
Ying Xiang only felt that a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and he bumped into it before he had time to react.
The person who came was Liang Xiaomei, and Liang Xiaomei was hit by the reckless Eagle Xiang when she entered the door, and almost flew out.
Liang Xiaomei almost fell and took several steps backwards in a row.
After seeing clearly that the person who hit her was Yingxiang, Liang Xiaomei angrily threw the medicine basket on her face to the ground, and her big eyes almost wanted to spew fire.
Liang Xiaomei rubbed her shoulders that were hurt by the crash, glared at Ying Xiang and said, "Are you a cow, with so much strength? Where are you going to go so reckless???ly?"
Ying Xiang hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just woke up from the state of being fascinated by reading, and I found that you were missing and hurried to look for you, but I didn't expect ......"
Liang Xiaomei angrily pushed away Yingxiang and walked into the house, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I really don't know if you did it on purpose." When I was working, I shouted at you, but you ignored it, and sat motionless at the door like a stone. No, as soon as I'm done with my work, you'll be running around alive right away. ”
Ying Xiang hurriedly explained: "I...... I really didn't hear it, I ......"
"Hmph. Liang Xiaomei snorted coldly, turned around and walked away quickly.
"I ...... I ......" Ying Xiang followed closely behind Liang Xiaomei and tried to explain.
Seeing that Ying Xiang was in a hurry, his face was flushed and he was a little stammering, Liang Xiaomei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liang Xiaomei grinned and said, "Of course I know that you are not pretending, and I didn't even hear you call for lunch." Besides, even if it's pretending, it's impossible to stay motionless all day. ”
Yingxiang's stomach suddenly gurgled, he looked embarrassed, Liang Xiaomei didn't say that it was okay, but this reminded him. He hadn't eaten all day, and he felt so hungry that he was about to vomit sour water.
Ying Xiang whispered, "That...... Is there still food in the canteen?"
Xiaomei still grinned and said, "Over there in the canteen......"
Liang Xiaomei watched Ying Xiang deliberately prolong her voice, and suddenly said loudly, "Of course there is no food!"
"Huh?" Ying Xiang was disappointed, he really didn't expect it to be so miserable that he couldn't even eat.
Liang Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said, "You don't look at what time it is now, Aunt Fang has gone home to rest now." ”
Now that the sun had set, it was indeed a long time since dinner time was over as usual.
"I'm so sorry I didn't help you today, and I won't be like this tomorrow. Ying Xiang lowered his head and touched the back of his head.
"But that book is really interesting, can you borrow it for me to read back?" Ying Xiang remembered the book and wanted to borrow it back.
Liang Xiaomei said nonchalantly: "It's okay, you can take it and see it." ”
Eagle Xiang is happy to pass and is very excited. Although the things recorded in the Materia Medica may not be used for a lifetime, it is very interesting to write, and it really gives him a lot of insight.
"But it's grandpa's book, you can see if it can be damaged!" Liang Xiaomei added.
"Yes, yes, I'll take care of it, and I won't break the book. Ying Xiang smiled and used a leaf as a bookmark to put it in the place where he turned it today, and put the book under his arm and prepared to leave.
Seeing Ying Xiang leave with the book, Liang Xiaomei hurriedly grabbed him, and said angrily: "You are really a fool." ”
Liang Xiaomei took out a bag of things from the medicine basket and stuffed it to Yingxiang, and said, "You have to come on time tomorrow, but you have to work hard." After speaking, Liang Xiaomei jumped and left.
Ying Xiang opened it and saw that there was some food in it, thirty or forty cakes and a large piece of meat, and the corner of Ying Xiang's mouth hooked a smile.
Ying Xiang smiled, it seems that Liang Xiaomei is really not angry, but she is unforgiving, but she knows that he is hungry and remembers to bring him food.
Ying Xiang sat on the threshold and munched, slowly looking at the splendor of the sunset on the horizon, feeling very satisfied.
Back to his cabin, Ying Xiang first put away the borrowed materia medica, and then simply cleaned up the house.
After reading books all day, his body was about to stiffen, and Ying Xiang couldn't help but come to Yinyue Lake for a walk to stretch his stiff muscles.
The water of the lake was clear, and Ying Xiang took off his clothes and jumped into the water with a plop in only a pair of calf-nosed shorts. The water of the lake is very cool, and Eagle Xiang swims freely in the water.
Eagle Xiang's swimming is self-taught, far superior to the people, and the average Eagle Clan is not very good at swimming.
Normally, the Eagle Clan only burrows into the water when they are fishing, but they quickly come out of the water.
After all, wings are not so convenient in the water, and the Eagle People evolved from birds, and some birds have the habit of instinctively being afraid of water.
Taking a deep breath, Eagle Soar began to dive underwater. He took a breath and could hold on for a long time without coming up.
There were many small silverfish swimming past him, and he tried to reach for them, but the small fish were fast, and he always took a slow step to catch them.
Ying Xiang was not annoyed, just frolicking with the small fish, and shook his head: Or my speed is not fast enough.
Looking at the little silverfish swimming around beside him triumphantly, Ying Xiang secretly thought: If I use the big net made of true qi to catch you and trap you, I am afraid that you will not be convinced if you die. Okay, I'll practice my speed well, and I'll catch you with my real skills in the future!
The deeper he dived in the lake, the depth of the lake was obviously beyond Eagle Xiang's expectations, and he dived nearly 100 meters without touching the bottom of the lake.
Ying Xiang tried his best to look down, only to see that the black hole under his feet could not see the bottom, Ying Xiang couldn't help but gasp: how deep is this lake, could it be that the water from the ground and finally appeared on the top of Tianyao Peak?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the bottom of the lake is still nearly a kilometer away from me.
I couldn't dive any further, the pressure of the water was amazing, which made Ying Xiang feel dizzy in his head, as if there were countless stars in front of him, and his body was also in severe pain.
At the same time, the breath in the lungs is almost unbearable, and it will definitely be life-threatening to dive any further.
