Chapter 358: Taste the Herbs and Die

Shao Xuan didn't expect this old man to change this commanding tone, probably he was used to calling people on weekdays, and he couldn't change it for a while, and it was already rare to say the word "help".

Seeing that the old man was so excited, Shao Xuan looked in the direction he was pointing.

It's another grass on the long mountain wall, but this grass looks very ordinary, there are no patterns, compared with the grass at Shao Xuan's feet, only the leaves are slightly narrower and longer.

"What kind of grass is that, and what is it for?" asked Shao Xuan.

"I don't know. ”

Shao Xuan: "...... I don't know why you're so excited?"

"I'm just excited when I don't know! I've never seen that kind of grass before. The old man's eyes stared straight at the mountain wall, urging Shao Xuan: "Hurry up!"

Shao Xuan shook his head, not following the old man's knowledge. However, going up the mountain wall to pick grass is only a matter for Shao Xuan for a while, it is not much difficulty, and Shao Xuan is not much entangled. As before, Shao Xuan dug up the grass with the old man's knife and threw it to the old man.

In addition to some medicinal herbs that were often used in the tribe, as well as those plants that were recorded, many other plants Shao Xuan didn't know, and after arriving here, there were even more plants that he didn't know, Shao Xuan didn't know what was special about this grass, and wanted to see how this old man treated.

I saw that after carefully observing and sniffing, the old man cut off a leaf, bit the tip of the leaf, and tasted it carefully.

"Does it smell?" asked Shao Xuan.

The old man shook his head, "There is no smell, it's strange, it doesn't even smell grass." ”

"What do you always think?" Shao Xuan asked again.

"Idea? Kind of...... Bad feelings. The old man commented.

Feeling bad and still eating when you're old?

Shao Xuan saw that the old man had eaten a whole leaf, and then, the old man's face began to twitch, not the kind that was suffered, but really uncontrollable twitching, and his complexion turned a strange blue-gray.

Poisonous!

"Spit it out!" Shao Xuan hurriedly said. Looking around, he broke off a branch and peeled off the outer skin, intending to help the old man induce vomiting.

The old man, whose face quickly turned gray, saw Shao Xuan holding a branch to his throat and knew what he was going to do. Turning his head to avoid the outstretched branches, he also stretched out his arm to push Shao Xuan: "Ni beat Kai!"

Shao Xuan was stunned for a while before he reacted, this old man was disgusted with him and let him go away.

Okay, just go away. Shao Xuan thought to himself: It's not me who was poisoned, I'm in a hurry.

I thought that the old man would induce vomiting by himself, or hide some herbs to detoxify, but the old man's performance surprised Shao Xuan.

The old man had a gray face. The folds on his face wrinkled deeper because of the pain, and the whole old face was squeezed together, and he knew that it was very uncomfortable when he looked at it. After staggering two steps, the old man sat down against the mountain wall.

"Hey, Lao Ju, are you really okay? don't you want to eat some detoxification?" Shao Xuan persuaded.

The old man didn't speak, just waved his hand softly, and sat there still. He didn't speak, he closed his eyes. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, at first glance, it would really make people think that he had lost his breath.

His aura was weakening.

Shao Xuan stared at the old man, this old man is looking for death?

I eat things I haven't seen indiscriminately, and I don't vomit when I eat them, so I hold back the poison. Isn't this death?

Suddenly, Shao Xuan found that some black lines appeared on the old man's body, like extended leaves, and on his face and arms, the outer parts of his clothes were exposed. This black vein appeared.

Totem pattern?

A fire appeared in Shao Xuan's mind, this fire was the source of power in the old man's body, but, the difference was that there was a vague shadow in this fire, like a grass or something, he couldn't see clearly, and he was surrounded by fire.

The blue and red flames were intertwined, and instead of weakening, they were burning more and more. The flames surged and expanded, and the shadows faintly revealed within the fire were like a weak seedling, rising and growing.

Looking at the lines on the old man's body, the original black lines gradually turned into bright green, and the blue and gray on the old man's face began to fade, and the dead air was expelled, replaced by an extremely strong breath of life.

When the gray on the old man's face disappeared completely, the green lines faded, and everything changed to normal again. Just looking at the old man's current appearance, no one would have thought that the old man had almost been poisoned to death after eating a piece of poisonous grass just now, and if Shao Xuan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have thought of it.

No wonder you have no fear, you pushed yourself away so vigorously just now, it turns out that you have the ability to save your life. Shao Xuan calmed down.

The old man let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and looked carefully at the inconspicuous-looking grass that had not been put down in his hand, and his eyes lit up.

Seeing that the old man carefully put away the grass, Shao Xuancai asked, "Are you really okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a little poison. "The old man doesn't care about the authentic way. In that breezy tone, he really didn't take the seemingly dangerous situation to heart just now.

That's how this old man, if he had been replaced by someone else, he would have been poisoned a long time ago.

"Since I entered the mountain, I have tasted more than 100 kinds of grasses, and there are also poisonous weeds, and this one is not the most poisonous. The old man said seemingly casually.

Catching a glimpse of the smugness flashing in the old man's eyes, Shao Xuan wanted to praise it, but he directly held it back.

I thought Shao Xuan would be amazed, but who knew that he would wait and wait, and when he raised his eyes, the old man found that Shao Xuan had left with his feet raised. didn't care about anything else, hurried to catch up, he also counted on Shao Xuan to help him pick grass, before he met Shao Xuan, he also saw a lot of unfamiliar grass, but he couldn't pick it, and broke an arm, so he had to give up. Now it's different, having someone to help pick the grass is a hassle-free.

Because of the old man, Shao Xuan did not follow the shortest route, and sometimes went over the mountains to find some plants, but the general direction remained the same, but the distance was far away.

Shao Xuan followed the old man to collect some poisons and wound medicines, and got to know a lot of plants. It is rare to meet a person who listens to himself, and when the old man is interested, he will also talk about the distribution of various medicinal herbs, and he has traveled a lot and learned a lot.

Shao Xuan not only knew about various medicinal plants from the old man's words, but also the distribution of some tribes and cities, and in general, this trip was worth it.

The old man told Shao Xuan that he could judge what was going in that direction based on some flying insects, what kind of changes were taking place in the plants there, and that different insects had different preferences, and that if they were looking for something, it would save a lot of time.

"Of course, in addition to these flying little insects, you can also judge according to some other beasts, such as ......" The old man was about to point to a small bird and was about to say something, his ears quickly shook twice, the old man's eyes flashed, and he couldn't care about the bird, looked at one place, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Shao Xuan not to make a sound.

Shao Xuan looked over there, and there was a cluster of low grass, which was the densest grass around.

And from behind the grass, there was a gray-furred animal that looked like a mouse hiding behind it, and after listening carefully to the movements around it, it poked its head out, propped up its front body, sniffed into the air, and then swooped out.

"Hurry up, follow it!" the old man suppressed his excitement and urged Shao Xuan in a low voice. (To be continued......)
