Chapter 361: True Artifact

Shao Xuan followed the old man along the mountain, and if he saw the plants he needed, the old man would go up and pick some of them.

A kind of brown low grass was cut off by the old man, and the spiraling tree was stripped of its skin, and there were some flowers that Shao Xuan had never seen before, and the old man also picked the flowers.

"Are you ......" Shao Xuan saw the old man's movements and asked.

"Down with those wild mice!" the old man's tone was solemn, for those few plants that were suspected of being "thousand grains of gold", he was determined to get them, and he would never let those wild mice eat the ears of grain.

"Poison them?" asked Shao Xuan. There are also a lot of those wild mice, and if you want to poison those wild rats, even if you configure herbs, the amount is very large, unless you configure special drugs.

However, the old man did not want to poison the rats directly.

"They are useful to stay in this barren mountain, and if there are a thousand grains of gold in the future, maybe they will have to be found by them, and they can't all be poisoned, I just want to poison them now." The old man's hand was already full, although there was not much grass growing in every place on the mountain, and there was even less to pick, but in order to hurry, the old man was in a hurry, and he was also familiar with the places where some needed plants might grow, and in a moment, his hand was full.

"I'll take it, you go ahead. Shao Xuan took the concentrated grass from the old man's hand.

The old man didn't insist, and when he handed the thing to Shao Xuan, he advised: "Be careful, don't touch the fracture, it's not good if the grass juice is stained." Don't get close, I won't be able to put all those wild mice down if you fall first. ”

The two of them walked faster, and the movement of those wild mice indicated that the ears of grain on the top of the mountain were about to be fully ripe, and they had to hurry.

Following the old man along the way, Shao Xuan also learned a lot of things, but he didn't reach the old man's ability to use local materials at all times, because he was in a hurry. The old man won't say much, Shao Xuan can only read and remember more, maybe he will be able to use it in the future.

The mountains that seem to be full of dwarf trees and weeds, for people like Lao Ju, are actually full of treasures, waste products or treasures. It depends on the person. Some plants may not have much power when separated, but when they are combined, they are different, and what the old man wants to configure is a medicine that is mixed with multiple plants.

"Alright, that's all. ”

The old man took one on the spot and began to dig out things to prepare for the production.

A small copper tripod and a few odd-shaped knives can handle them all.

"Shao Xuan, you go down the mountain to look for it, and get more 'worries'. Look for the kind that opened a small bite. Don't open your mouth, and don't open your mouth completely. Lao Ju said to Shao Xuan without raising his head, he was so busy with his work that he had no time to leave, and he couldn't compare to Shao Xuan's speed.

"Okay. Shao Xuan didn't say much, he knew what kind of plant the old man was talking about, and the old man taught him to recognize it on the way.

Shao Xuan remembers that most of the plants of "A Line of Sorrow" grow in the valley between the two mountains. He had seen quite a few as he walked along the narrow part of the valley.

The shrub of "a glimmer of sorrow" is less than Shao Xuan's waist. This is the name that the old man himself gave to this shrub.

Running down from the mountain, Shao Xuan looked around, and saw a "glimmer of sorrow".

The so-called "sorrow" is because when the fruit of this shrub is about to ripen, a line will appear on the fruit with a hard shell, and then it will mature more and more as the fruit becomes more and more ripe. This thread will crack open, and the wind and sun will blow it, and the inside of the fruit that has been cracked will dry up until only a small core remains, and when the time comes, the fruit that has cracked a crack will snap and open completely. Squirt out the pits inside.

Shao Xuan tried it once, but he was hit by the core of the fruit squirting, and it hurt a lot, if it weren't for Shao Xuan's strong body and thick skin, maybe the skin would have been broken.

Normally, after the fruit of this plant is cracked, no other wild beasts will appear around it, and in the words of the old man, "I am worried when I see the threads on those fruits, and I can't get close, and if I get close, I will be shot." ”

If it is not picked properly, it will also stimulate the fruit that cracks a line to shoot out of the pit in advance, so the old man also demonstrated twice when he told Shao Xuan, telling him how to pick the "first line of sorrow" correctly.

Compared with the first two days, there are more and more fruits on the first line of sorrowful trees that appear lines and crack a crack, but I don't know which ones the old man needs, and some of the cracks are still shallow, which may not meet the old man's requirements.

After thinking about it, Shao Xuan directly cut down the branches that were more densely fruiting and took them away. After finding more than a dozen trees in a row and cutting down a lot of branches with fruits, Shao Xuan went up the mountain.

The old man said that the wild mice on the mountain were waiting for the moment when the ears of grain were really ripe, and when the ears of grain were at their most perfect, the wild mice could get the things they wanted most from them, and they couldn't do it even a little earlier. Maybe the larger ones at the front of the wild mouse herd will grow like that after eating too many thousand grains of gold. Why don't you cook some of it yourself when you get it?

While thinking, Shao Xuan went up the mountain with a line of sorrowful branches that he had chopped off.

When Shao Xuan arrived, the old man had already lit a fire, and the various grasses next to him had been almost processed, and some pungent smells wafted out from the copper tripod.

"Stay away. The old man waved his hand to Shao Xuan, asking Shao Xuan to put things down and avoid them, after all, Shao Xuan didn't have his detoxification physique, so he was afraid that Shao Xuan would fall down directly after hearing too much.

Shao Xuan felt a little dizzy when he smelled the smell just now, so he moved his feet and stood upwind about ten meters away from Xiaoding.

The fire was burning very strongly, and there was constant water vapor coming out of the copper tripod, and the old man squatted next to him and stared, his eyes did not leave the small tripod for a moment, and he kept stirring it with a knife.

"That's it!"

The old man shouted excitedly, extinguished the fire, picked up the branch brought by Shao Xuan, quickly picked the fruit that echoed his request, and then held the fruit in one hand, and picked up two strange-looking knives with the other hand, scraped some powder from the small ding, and poured the powder into it through the gap between the open fruits.

Each fruit was the size of a quail egg, and the gap in the fruit was even narrower, but the old man could pour the powder into it with the two strange knives with only one hand, and the powder that leaked out was very small.

No wonder I brought so many strange knives, which were originally used for these.

After pouring it, the old man also covered the gaps with a thin layer of almost transparent leaf skin, so that the fine powder inside would not leak out.

With a swift movement, he poured all the fruits he had picked up and sealed them with the leaves, and the old man picked up the last fruit with the least medicine and looked around.

Not far away, there was a small bird pecking insects on the ground, looking at the target, the old man flicked his fingers, and the fruit shot straight over there, hitting the ground, making a "click" sound, the fruit was completely opened, and the kernel inside was shot out, and at the same time the powder filled in was sprayed out.

Shao Xuan saw that the bird fluttered its wings twice, and it seemed that it wanted to fly, but after shaking its wings twice, it fell.

"How?" the old man looked at Shao Xuan with a smug expression. Obviously, he was very happy with what he had made himself.

Shao Xuan looked at the bird that fell to the ground and didn't move, and then looked at the empty husk that was completely opened, and commented sincerely: "What a real artifact!" (to be continued......
