Section 528 - Letter Bee Box

The bottle of Baicao Zhuyan Dan, which was taken by Li Xiaobai to borrow flowers and offer to the Buddha, really made Xiangjun Empress Long Yan happy.

Give a hug to the bosom, thank you!

The best gift for a woman is not dazzling gemstone jewelry, nor delicate and gorgeous clothes, but the eternal youth that everyone dreams of.

Although Yijiazi is a little short for people in the Dao, as Li Xiaobai said, one is not enough, just two, and it can be eaten as a meal.

It just so happened that Bai Ying'er was also on duty for her father in the palace, and Li Xiaobai's second bottle of Baicao Zhuyan Dan was given to her.

A hundred herbs Zhu Yan Dan was taken, the medicinal power was dispersed, and the effect was immediate, and on the small hands that were used to holding heavy weapons on weekdays, a thin layer of cocoons began to soften on the spot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than a cup of tea, a layer of dead skin was peeled off, and the soft finger skin covered by the thin calluses was elastic, and it turned back into the red crisp hands that a young lady should have.

The shallow scars left by the previous exercises on the body all appeared slightly itchy, like a thin callus on the hand, which gradually turned into dead skin and faded away.

Bai Ying'er, like Empress Xiangjun, couldn't bear the itching all over her body, and hurriedly rushed to the soup pool in the palace to bathe.

After the fragrant soup, the two little ladies seem to have just undergone a washing and marrow removal and rebirth, the skin is white and red, shiny and moist, like a freshly peeled egg, extremely white and tender, the whole person is glorious, and the eyes of the palace maids who are with them are full of color and envy.

Although the Baicao Zhuyan Pill only has the effect of nourishing the face and rejuvenating the skin, it is still a magic pill that condenses the essence of the herbs, and the accompanying little body conditioning effect is enough to benefit anyone a lot.

Erniang Fengniang, who also received Li Xiaobai's gift, was not in a hurry to take Baicao Zhuyan Dan.

For the sake of the baby who was about to be born in her belly, she could only temporarily endure the temptation of Zhuyan Yijiazi and raise the baby in Li's mansion with peace of mind.

However, Li Xiaobai still made up a suitable gift.

He used a dragon's eye size Tongling jade to carve a mutton fat safety buckle with a diameter of about an inch, which can attract spiritual energy, dispel evil spirits, and continuously nourish the wearer's physique, ensuring that there is no disease and a long life.

Li Xiaobai also hopes that through the cultivation of the spirit day after day of this ornament that has reached the second grade, the little nephew in the mother's womb can lay the foundation of the Dao of Magic in advance, and he will have a good affinity for the aura as soon as he is born, and when he steps into the cultivation of the Dao, he can get twice the result with half the effort.

Even if there is no talent for martial arts, this Ping An Tongling Jade Buckle can still ensure the healthy growth of the little nephew, and this effect is probably the gift that any parent wants his child to get the most.

However, Li Xiaobai still underestimated the attractiveness of Baicao Zhuyan Dan to ordinary people.

In less than three days, the magical elixir that could stay in the face of a Jiazi spread throughout the entire imperial capital, and spread to the surrounding roads at a speed like the wind.

Youth is easy to be short, red faces are easy to age, countless women and little girls, whether Yun Ying is unmarried or has become a Feng woman, up to eighty, down to eight years old, all crazy about it.

Most of the Dao elixirs are only for people in the Dao, ordinary pills that can strengthen the body, and the Dan master disdains refining, and the rich people's diet and daily life are all fine, and their complexion is always better than that of ordinary people, so the ordinary people's understanding of the magic of the elixir is only in the most superficial aspects of not being born of all diseases and not being invaded by all poisons.

Life is rare for seventy years, if you can stay in the face of a jiazi, doesn't it mean that when Yang Shou is exhausted, he is still young in his teens and twenties, and even if he dies, he has no regrets.

What woman wants to see herself turn into an old woman with goosebumps, a rickety body, a wrinkled face, and cloudy eyes, of course, hoping that she can always maintain her most beautiful appearance.

If it weren't for Li Xiaobai's request at Zhu Shisan's request, let the female Dan Master Yan Xiao specially refine this furnace of Baicao Zhuyan Pill, I am afraid that this kind of elixir that makes all mortal women in the world crazy would not have a chance to be present at all.

If it weren't for Jin Wuwei's strict defense of the inner street of Taipingfang, and outsiders would have been guaranteed by someone in the fang, the gate of the Li Mansion would have been trampled down by the people who flocked to ask for Dan.

In order to divert the disturbances of the outside world, Li Xiaobai had to take out twelve Baicao Zhuyan Pills, pretending that it was not easy to refine Baicao Zhuyan Pills, and auctioned them publicly in the amount of one per month, which solved the riots in the imperial capital Tianjing.

By the way, he borrowed the hands of those wealthy and powerful people to collect materials for the arts.

Wealthy ladies and ladies are very powerful, and I don't know how many people will break their legs for the various heavenly treasures needed by the Heavenly Palace.

The Baicao Zhuyan Dan, who flattered the little lady, added another business to the Heavenly Palace.

-

Bringing the Wushuang housekeeper of the Li Mansion to the Tiangong Office in Beijing to be a cow and a horse, exploiting and squeezing, Li Xiaobai naturally regained his freedom to shake off his hands and shopkeepers.

No wonder William Wallace shouted a shout for freedom, and there were so many people who responded to it, and it was clear that the heroes saw something in common, but in fact both of them were self-walking spirits in human form.

The first batch of letter bee eggs laid by the jade-patterned queen bee who brought back to the imperial capital Tianjing finally broke out one after another after two weeks of hatching.

During this period, Li Xiaobai did not spare his own blood, so that these little things could grow rapidly by ingesting the essence blood royal jelly and essence blood honey containing the emperor's flow pulp.

Although the newly hatched worker and soldier bees are not as complete as the queen bee, the first new bee species are no less than the heterogeneous drones that cost their lives for the sake of mating.

With black and white fluff, white-gold luster, crimson pupils, and membranous wings with gold threads, the colony of the letter bee has evolved a step more than the original jade-veined bee, and its body size has become five times larger, the size of a soybean, and now it has become like a red date.

The hive hung in the rattan basket hanging from the tree in the back garden completely changed, and in just two or three days, the newly-born letter bees renovated the old hive, and the new hive was enough to stuff an egg.

Perhaps because he felt that the rattan basket was suitable for local materials in the mountains, the hive simply merged with the rattan basket, and with the help of the criss-crossed tough rattan, the overall strength was greatly improved.

Between the cracks of the rattan baskets, you can see two species of bees with completely different shapes burrowing in and out from time to time, with the same vein and the same king, and the two bee species living together peacefully with each other, and the external differences between the two sides are not so important.

Over time, the old jade-veined bees gradually die, and the colony is soon replaced by the newborn letter bee, completing the evolution of the entire population.

With the exception of the Jade Queen Bee, the population will gradually converge.

Strictly speaking, the queen bee is not a belief bee, but the breeder of a new group of faith bees.

The next queen bee will be the true letter bee in its entirety, and I don't know which bee boy will be killed by her.

Li Xiaobai stood under the tree and stretched out his hand.

As if sensing his intentions, a newborn worker bee about an inch long fluttered its wings and fell into his palm, allowing him to carefully scrutinize and scrutinize up and down, left and right.

Since she began laying eggs, the queen bee has never left the hive, working as a seeder to manage the entire colony.

"Childe!"

A slightly shrill voice fell into Li Xiaobai's ears.

"Who?"

Li Xiaobai was startled and looked left and right.

There is no one else in the back garden shrouded in glass, and since the letter bee settled here, many people are afraid of being stung by the bee, so few people come here.

Li Xiaobai was the only one in the park at this time.

"Childe! It's Rong'er!"

This time, he finally confirmed the source of the sound, which was the worker bee in his palm.

To be precise, it should be the effect of the two pairs of membranous wings behind the other party.

"Huang Rong?"

The only name Li Xiaobai could think of was the jade-patterned queen bee he brought out from the vast mountains of Shennong River.

"It's Rong'er!"

The worker bee in the palm of his hand spoke again.

"Aren't you the queen bee?"

Li Xiaobai looked up at the rattan basket, no, it should be the beehive in the rattan cage, there are faint demonic fluctuations inside, it is obvious that the queen bee who turned into a demon has never left.

How did the queen bee become a worker bee? Is it because a certain faith bee usurped the throne and was demoted to a bee?

"Every letter bee is Rong'er, and Rong'er is the whole bee colony. ”

The worker bee flapped its wings and made a sound, and it turned out to be the queen bee with the jade pattern using it to transmit the sound.

"Every letter bee can speak for you?"

Hearing the queen bee's voice explain, Li Xiaobai finally understood why he provoked a jade-veined bee, but it would alarm the entire bee colony.

Not every jade-veined bee can communicate with each other, it should be that every jade-veined bee has a connection with the queen bee, and the entire bee colony transmits messages through the queen.

This means that the queen bee is the server, and every worker bee and soldier bee is the client, so it's no wonder that it says it's the whole colony, and the whole colony is it.

Whether it is a worker bee, a soldier bee, or a drone, they can all transmit sound for Rong'er. ”

After mating with a heterogeneous male, the multiplied letter bees also inherit this ability.

"So is there a limit to the distance?"

Li Xiaobai is most concerned about the contact distance between each letter bee and the queen bee at this time, which means the range of the call.

The worker bee flapped its wings and said: "There is no distance limit, even at the end of the world, as long as Rong'er and the letter bee who is communicating are still alive, they can talk." ”

"That's true!

Li Xiaobai nodded, and the words of Huang Rong, the queen bee with jade patterns, confirmed some of his guesses.

Whether it is the clues provided by businessman Zhu Shisan, or his personal attempt.

The Jade Pattern Swarm is able to chase hundreds of miles, not relying on sounds, smells, and specific hormones, but mostly based on special contact methods such as telepathy, and the impact of distance is naturally minimal.

The demonized jade-patterned queen bee directly skipped the level of communication method, and the entire clan was the best communication tool at present.

The letter bee, the communication bee, lives up to its name.

Li Xiaobai continued to ask, "If I travel far away with a letter bee, how long can it survive?"

Bees are social insects that live in groups, and once they leave the group, their lifespan will be greatly shortened, which also determines the time limit for using letter bees as a communication tool.

"As long as they have enough food, they can survive for a long time, and they can be fed nectar or caramel, or they can be allowed to feed themselves. ”

It is not in vain that Li Xiaobai has fed a large amount of essence blood, and the intelligence of the jade-veined queen bee is equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child, and she can reply clearly and accurately.

On the way back to the imperial capital Tianjing from Shennongchuan, Li Xiaobai was worried about the lack of food, and the bee colony had eaten some starch sugar, after all, the four seasons change, the flowering period is short, and in the case of lack of honey, although the starch sugar is not as good as the nectar, it is also a kind of food.

"It's the best!"

Li Xiaobai snapped his fingers and had an idea in his heart.

After releasing the worker bee, he found a piece of wood, and the "Xuanxing" emerged from the palm of his hand.

As a refiner who has received the orthodox inheritance, packing up a piece of wood is not yet a matter of hand.

After two or three strokes, Li Xiaobai made a wooden box the size of a palm and one and a half inches thick, and did not forget to carve holes and decorative stripes, and sanded the whole body with fine grinding stone to grind off the burrs, and the feel became smoother.

The box is divided into three spaces, the bottom can store honey and other food, and there is a circular concave bottom facing the carved perforation in the middle, which can allow the letter bees to hide in it, and if you put a little cotton and linen wool, it can also cushion the impact and shock.

The small space at the top as a buffer leaves a round hole for the bees to enter and exit, and also for ventilation.

The wooden box can be fully opened for easy cleaning or manual replacement of letter bees.

If it weren't for collecting nectar and feeding the queen bee, a finger-sized piece of bee food would allow a letter bee to survive for more than a month, so the storage space at the bottom of the box was enough to store the bee food for half a year.

In addition to royal jelly, ordinary honey that has not undergone any processing can be guaranteed to be good for 100 years as long as it is kept ventilated and dry.

It only took half an hour for Li Xiaobai to make ten letter bee boxes.

The worker bees take the honey in the form of beeswax and put it in the storage space at the bottom of the box, and then put the worker bees into the box, and the thin silk is pasted behind the perforation, so that even if you look closely, it is difficult to see the secret in the box, and it also ensures breathability.

As long as it does not sink to the bottom of the water, it is usually placed in the arms and pockets, as long as there is a little air circulation, it will not suffocate the letter bees inside.

Li Xiaobai beckoned to the sky, the sound of wings fluttered and fell quickly, the snowy Condor Snow Lady has been circling and patrolling over the palace, and her eyes can also overlook the entire imperial capital.

As soon as Childe beckoned in the garden, it noticed it and immediately descended.

"Xue Niang, give these boxes to Xiangjun, Ying'er, Boss Bai, Second Brother, as well as Gong Yipan and Wuchengzi, and finally leave one for you, and go back to find a thin rope to hang around your neck. ”

Li Xiaobai left a wooden box for himself.

"Yes, Childe!"

Xue Niang rose to the sky with a wooden box wrapped in cloth and began to deliver the express.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Xiaobai said to the wooden box in his hand: "Rong'er, help me connect to Xue Niang." ”

"Childe, you can speak!"

The Jade Queen Bee, who acts as an operator, is definitely professional, it's its innate racial instinct.

"Xue Niang, has it been delivered?"

The letter bee box has become a mobile phone in Li Xiaobai's hands, and it is still hands-free and dial-free.

Although the shape of the box is a bit clumsy, it fits perfectly.
