Chapter 658: What's Behind Me?
The pill made from the root of the Heavenly Vein was the size of a little finger, but the ingredients of the Heavenly Vein accounted for only one-tenth of it, and the remaining ninety percent were all other auxiliary herbs, some of which were used as buffers to slow down the side effects caused by too strong the medicinal effect, and prevent people with poor physique from being unable to withstand the rapid effects of the medicine. Others, in order to maintain the medicinal effects of Tianmai for a longer period of time, in short, to increase the shelf life.
As for the bottles containing the Tianmai pills, they are not bronze or pottery or stoneware, but jade, and according to Gui Ze, jade has the best shelf life.
Although Jingwu had never seen jade before, he could see that the bottle containing the medicine was very valuable, and he couldn't say why, he just "saw" the conclusion.
Shao Xuan poured out the pill, "Give him half a pill first, and see the effect." ”
Because Miao can't swallow the medicine now, the small half of the medicine that was cut off was directly ground and put into the water, and poured it little by little for the person on the bed to drink.
Jingwu and his wife took care of it carefully throughout the whole process, after all, Miao's injuries are now very serious, and they used to drink and vomit anything except water, but now Jingwu and his wife can only try to feed it little by little, Shao Xuan saw that the small wooden spoon was not as big as his little fingernail.
After feeding a few spoonfuls, Jing Wu was overjoyed to see that Miao didn't spit out what he had swallowed this time, what a phenomenon!
After feeding the medicine, Jingwu took Shao Xuan around the tribe and told him how he got his true eye.
"The Ordinary Eye Stone and the Universal Pupil Stone will be in the quagmire on the periphery, but the True Eye will only be here!" Jingwu pointed to his feet.
"I think you should have guessed," the mood is good, Jingwu rarely talks much, "the better the ground, the closer to the fire pit." ”
The fire pond of the Jing tribe is in the center of the central quagmire. Shao Xuan stood in the room and could see a little muddy yellow light not far away, it was not bright, but it was impossible to ignore, even if the fire was just a little spark, it could make people feel it at the first time.
In fact, the flame of the crystal tribe is not strong. But in particular, their spark has a very strong attraction to creatures like Earth Eye. The Eyes of the Earth live underground, no one knows how far they can go underground, and very few people can even dig them out, even the sub-tribesmen who live underground all year round have never dug out those Eyes of the Earth.
However, in the Crystal Tribe, those strange creatures that live underground will appear on their own. In the quagmire, those earth eyes sometimes swim in it, and the people of the crystal tribe will grab those earth eyes, and the goblin meat will eat them, and the earth eye stones inside will be left.
To some extent, the people of the Jing tribe also hunt from time to time. It's just that they are not hunting beasts, but those eyes of the earth in the mire.
"It turned out that they were hunting in the mud. Shao Xuan saw some Jing tribe children squatting next to the quagmire before. When they were still stirring in the mud with wooden sticks, they thought they were digging earthworms, but they were practicing hunting the ground eye.
That day
The food that the Jing tribe entertained Shao Xuan was bowls of earth-eye soup.
The Eye is a fusiform creature with a ring of hard shells that rotates as it moves underground, so that a distinct spiral pattern can be seen on their hard shell.
Break through the hard shell of the earth's eyes. The meat inside is used to cook, and the ground eye stone is taken out and put away. Goblin meat is the highest-level food of the Crystal Tribe, and if it weren't for the guests they particularly valued, they wouldn't have brought out these treats.
Jingwu asked people to entertain Shao Xuan and them with earthy meat, which was also a welcome. This is already a high-level etiquette of the Crystal Tribe.
The Jing tribe people mainly fished out the eyes of the earth from the big circle of quagmire on the periphery, sank the fishing net, and then fished it up, it looked simple, but in fact, on average, ten times under the net, in order to fish out a ground eye, people with good eyesight will have a higher chance of success, but people with poor eyesight will be miserable.
The muddy water makes it impossible to see what's underneath, and perhaps only experienced people can get into the net more accurately.
Jingwu mainly took Shao Xuan to see here in the central quagmire, and the true eye only appeared here.
Judging whether there is a real eye here, Jingwu purely uses "look", he opened the third eye in the center of his eyebrows, it is an eye with a dark brown iris, it doesn't look much different from Jingwu's own eyes, just a little darker, but such an eye, it is vertical and long, and it is at a ninety degree angle to Jingwu's two normal eyes, and the eyelids open and close left and right when blinking.
That special eye has a strange penetrating power, and when it is facing that eye, it seems to be able to see through people and see things that others can't see.
Jingwu opened his eyes, looked around the central quagmire, and shook his head regretfully: "I haven't seen the earth eye with the true eye." Come back tomorrow and don't worry, I'll find one for you!"
Afraid that Shao Xuan would stop the supply of medicines, Jingwu was very active in finding his true eyes, but some words Jingwu still said after hesitating.
"I can only promise to find the true eye, if it doesn't work in one year, it will be two years, and if it doesn't work in two years, it will be ten years, until I find it, but I can't guarantee that you will be able to successfully place it on the beast. Even most of us people from the Crystal tribe can't fuse successfully. Afraid that Shao Xuan was just using the fierce beast as an excuse, Jingwu emphasized again, "Anyway, it is absolutely not okay to use it on people." ”
"I know. I don't give it to anyone, I just give it a try, no matter how likely it is to succeed, you have to give it a try. ”
Jingwu nodded, and said no more. Anyway, he said all the reminders he should have, and it doesn't matter if the other party listens to him or not, he is only responsible for finding the true eye.
When he walked around and went back, Jingwu made a suggestion to Shao Xuan: "It's not a matter of a day or two to find the True Eye, Elder Shao Xuan, you see, if I find it and send it to your Yanjiao Tribe, or will you continue to wait here for a few days?" You know, the night of the full moon will be in three days, and the possibility of the True Eye appearing will be the greatest at that time." ”
"It's fine. ”
Hearing Shao Xuan's answer, Jingwu's face flashed with joy, the reason why he said this was actually to hope that Shao Xuan could stay here for a while longer, at least until his son's injury was okay before leaving. As for whether he could really find his true eyes that day, he himself was not sure, he also said "maybe", if he was unlucky, he would have to continue to wait, but at that time Shao Xuan was leaving. Jingwu won't dissuade him either.
Because Shao Xuan decided to stay here for a few more days, the people of Yanjiao began to hunt, around here, there are many fierce beasts that the people of the Jing tribe do not want to provoke on weekdays, and the people of Yanjiao go to solve those troubles, and the people of the Jing tribe are happy to see it. They don't feel like their prey is being robbed.
Most of the fierce beasts hunted are wild beasts, although the Yanjiao people can't look down on them, but for the crystal tribesmen, it is still more attractive, and they use the hunted prey to trade with the crystal tribe, in exchange for some ordinary earth eye stones and goblin meat, but universal pupils, even if the crystal tribesmen have them, the number is not much. Moreover, whether the universal pupil can be traded or not, it has to be Jingwu to speak, if Jingwu is not allowed to trade with universal pupils, they will not take it out anyway.
After Jingwu knew, he only thought about it for a while, and then waved his hand, and he was right!
Thereupon. Someone has hunted universal pupils at home and preserved them, and there are people who are willing to trade. They all went to contact and negotiate with the Yanjiao people, and they could exchange them for artifacts made of beast meat, animal skins, horns, bones and teeth of fierce beasts from Yanjiao.
Originally, Dori and they thought that after Jingwu allowed it, the Crystal tribesmen would be more than happy to trade with them. However, the fact is that the people of the Jing tribe are willing to trade Wanxiang Hitomi out of the way, and they can count them in the face.
Among the ordinary earth eye stones they are willing to take out, there are few high-quality ones. However, they also don't look down on the Eye Stone Duoli with a poor texture, so that after Jingwu agrees to the transaction, Duoli's harvest is still pitiful.
"I really don't understand, what are they hiding those stones for?" Dori looked at the only two universal pupils in his hand, and his face was entangled, this is the result of his two days of trading, there are only two!
There are more than a hundred ordinary earth eye stones in the wooden box next to it, which are also ordinary and high-quality, but compared to the inventory in the hands of the Jing tribe, it is not even one-twentieth!
"They don't travel far, they don't need universal pupils, and they don't even want to trade even slightly better earth eye stones, so what are they hiding for? The Tuo next to them were also quite confused, and they really didn't understand what was going on in the minds of the Jing tribe people.
Shao Xuan got the answer to this question from Jingwu.
For the people of the Crystal Tribe, the Eye Stone is wealth, but also their spiritual food, the more precious the Eye Stone, the more satisfied they are, and even in the history of the Crystal Tribe, there were people who would rather starve to death with a box of Eye Stones, rather than use it to exchange food with other tribes.
This is simply impossible for the Yanjiao people, and the Yanjiao people can't understand the alternative values of the crystal tribe people.
"No wonder I've never seen an eyestone outside. Shao Xuan sighed.
Maybe some tribes once had the Eye Stone, but since the Crystal Tribe migrated here thousands of years ago, and did not communicate and trade with the outside world, after a long time, the Eye Stone passed the expiration date and began to "die", and gradually, the outside world no longer has the Eye Stone in everyone's sight.
"However, if Elder Shao Xuan likes it, I will give you another box, which is my private collection. Jingwu said with a smile.
Her son's condition improved, and Jingwu felt more and more relaxed, smiling.
On this day, Shao Xuan handed the last bit of medicine to Jingwu.
Miao can now eat some fluid food, and he seems to be in much better spirits, not as lifeless as the day before yesterday, and his eyes are also bright, and he has a focus when he looks at people.
"How?" asked Miao nervously.
"I can already see. Miao's voice was still not loud, but it was better than the day before yesterday, when he almost just opened his mouth.
"Really, good, good!" Jingwu was overjoyed, thinking of something, he let Shao Xuan behind him out, and introduced to Miao: "This is Shao Xuan, the great elder of the Yanjiao tribe, this time thanks to the medicine he took out, you can be well." ”
Miao Wenyan looked at Shao Xuan, in fact, every time Shao Xuan was brought over by Jingwu, he knew that it was just because his eyes couldn't see because of a long-lasting injury before, and this was the first time he had seen Shao Xuan with his own eyes.
However, when Miao was about to say thanks, he looked at Shao Xuan's gaze for a moment, and the smile on his face froze.
Closing his eyes, Miao looked at Shao Xuan again, pulled a stiff smile on his face, and said dryly: "Thank you, Elder Shao Xuan!"
After speaking, Miao said, "I can just see things, but it is still very laborious to see things, and I am not very clear." ”
This is an explanation for the gaffe just now.
Shao Xuan looked at Miao, and Miao staggered his eyes.
Shao Xuan looked at Jing Wu again, Jing Wu gave an apologetic smile, and then turned to his wife and said, "Take Elder Shao Xuan to see the thank you gift I prepared." The thank you gift he said was the box of earth eye stones that he had just mentioned to give Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan followed the woman out of the room, and before going out, he looked back at Jingwu and his son before leaving.
After Shao Xuan left, Jingwu pulled the wooden plank that served as the door of the room, and then came to the side of the bed.
Miao's hand under the linen cloth clenched tightly because of nervousness, and he didn't let go until Shao Xuan left, his palms were sweaty.
"Daddy, he'...... He's got ...... behind him."
"Shhhh ”
After Shao Xuan followed Jingwu's wife to fetch a box of Ground Eye Stones, he did not stay there, but went to find the others in Yanjiao.
Dori was watching the people of the Jing tribe teach the children how to catch the eyes of the earth, and when they saw Shao Xuan coming, they were about to express their feelings, when they heard Shao Xuan ask, "Is there anything strange on me?"
"Nope. Duoli looked inexplicable, and didn't understand why Shao Xuan suddenly asked this.
"Behind you?" Shao Xuan turned his back, turned his head to look at Duoli again, and then looked at the others, seeing that they all shook their heads, not as if they had seen anything abnormal.
That's weird.
What did the two fathers and sons see?
Shao Xuan knew that Miao looked at him at that time, to be exact, not staring at him, but staring behind him, and his eyes were not focused on himself, but around him.
Say you just regained your eyesight, and you can't see clearly, lie to the ghost! )
