The Mantle of the Four Emperors (2)
Xiaoding is not gold or wood, the shape is peculiar, the texture is simple, and it is not a mundane thing at first glance. www.biquge.info The booklet called "Materia Medica" is divided into two parts, the upper part is grass, and the lower part is medicine, and both the medicine department and the grass department are equipped with pictures and texts. The grass department is the appearance of various herbs, and the text next to it records the properties and effects of the herbs, and the medicine department is the method of refining various drugs, and the conditions and heat of each medicine are recorded in detail.
At this time, Shennong gestured to the book "Shenzhou Finger Map", Gengchen picked it up and took a look, only to see that it was full of illustrations of landscapes, animals and plants. Shennong said: "This is a little experience I have when I traveled the world, recording the location of the mountains and rivers in various parts of our Chinese continent and the strange flowers and plants, demons and spirit beasts that come out. Combined with that "Materia Medica", it will be of great help to you in the future. ”
Gengchen heard the words and checked carefully, and sure enough, he found a picture in the north mountain, only to see a large ridge surrounded by mountains, and the small print below reads: ... Two hundred miles to the north, it is said that the God of War Ridge, the mountain is bare and red, there is no grass and trees, it is the place where Xuanyuan captures and kills Chiyou.
Although Gengchen is young, he has been living around the God of War Ridge for the past few years, knowing that what is recorded in the book is correct regardless of the pictures and small characters, he excitedly raised his thumb and praised: "Old fairy grandfather, you are so amazing!"
Shennong smiled smugly, and then glared at Gengchen unhappily: "Boy, what do you call me?"
"Old God ......"
Gengchen was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, immediately turned over and knelt down, lay in front of Shennong and kowtowed, and said excitedly while kowtowing: "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Shennong showed a satisfied look in his eyes at this time, and then saw that Gengchen had knocked more than a dozen times in a row without stopping, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, stop, don't knock your head stupidly, there is no way to do what I want to explain." ”
When Gengchen heard this, he stopped bowing, got up and looked at Shennong, and said firmly: "Teacher, please command, Gengchen will never give up." ”
"Don't be nervous, it's just for you to deliver something. ”
Shennong said and motioned for Gengchen to pick up the white jade bottle, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "These are the two elixirs that I have just refined recently, and they have the effect of deforming. There is a Tianyu Mountain thousands of miles away in the southeast, and there is a Taixu real person on the mountain, you send this bottle of medicine over, and then tell him what happened here, and he will know what to do. ”
Gengchen saw Shennong's solemn expression and knew that the stakes must be important, so he carefully put the jade bottle back into the Qiankun bag, and said resolutely: "Master rest assured, Gengchen will definitely deliver things even if he fights for this life." ”
"Hehe! I can't just give my life away, otherwise I won't accept your apprentice in vain. ”
Shennong laughed, and pointed out the medicines in the other jade bottles to Gengchen one by one, told him the effect of the medicine and how to use it, and then explained to him the trick of fire control. Gengchen never thought that there were so many tricks in fire control, so he immediately followed it seriously.
After learning for a while, I waved my hand and tried it, and the flames emitted were indeed much stronger than before, and the power was even more incomparable, and my heart was even more excited.
When he raised his head suddenly, Gengchen was startled, it turned out that in this short period of time, Shennong's color had changed greatly, his body had become strange translucent, and the bones and meridians in the skin and flesh could be seen, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that it was definitely not a good phenomenon, so he hurriedly said, "Master, you can rest first, and then talk about it later!"
"My spirit is about to burn out, just because my mind is not over, I haven't let go of a thought, where is there still time to rest. ”
Shennong smiled with relief, Gengchen could only endure his sadness when he heard this, and kept everything Shennong said in his heart.
At this time, Shennong asked Gengchen to take out Xiao Ding, teach him control skills, and finally said: "Your strength is low, you can only go on foot, so this trip must be very difficult." I'm going to help you now, so that you can have some self-preservation. You want to keep the original god, and you must not move. ”
After finishing speaking, he concentrated and returned to the yuan, gathered a handful of red flames, and surrounded Gengchen in it.
Gengchen only felt the heat wave hit his body, and the scorching heat invaded all the way to the body through the surface of his body, and he was dizzy in an instant, his head seemed to explode, and he hurriedly guarded the Yuan Shen according to the method taught by Shennong before, and he didn't dare to be distracted.
"Child, the things I give you are the most important things in the world, you must not show them easily in the future, let alone say that they are my disciples, otherwise they are likely to be coveted by others and cause death, remember to remember. ”
Shennong whispered while conveying firepower, Gengchen had already guessed the preciousness of those things before, and immediately nodded in agreement. It's just that this distraction doesn't matter, and in an instant, it feels like being in the magma with a temperature of 10,000 degrees, and the body is unbearable. Shennong's Yuan Shen collapsed, and he was engrossed in instilling firepower, and he didn't pay attention to Gengchen's situation at all, and the situation was very critical for a while.
Seeing that something was about to happen, he saw a burst of red light flashing, and then Gengchen suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he could no longer feel the scorching heat. Looking down, he found that the firepower that made him unbearable was actually sucked by the red pendant under his head, and at this time, the pendant was still absorbing the firepower conveyed by Shennong all the time.
Shennong had also discovered the existence of the pendant at this time, and glanced at Gengchen in surprise, but this was not the time to speak, so he didn't ask much. After a while, he saw that Geng Chen's face showed an unbearable look again, knowing that he would not be able to accept it if he continued to convey it, but it would be harmful to his body. Then he withdrew his fire and asked, "Child, do you have anything to protect yourself from on your chest?"
At this time, Gengchen only felt that his whole body was fluttering, and there was no discomfort. Hearing the teacher's inquiry, he immediately took off the pendant from under his head and sent it to him: "Master Hui, it is a relic left to me by my mother. ”
Shennong took a closer look, and saw that outside the pendant was a five-color metal locket, and there were two lines of small characters on the box, one line was "Heaven and Earth Light Flame Filled with Void", and the other line was "The Gate of Hell Welcomes the Abyss". Inside the box is a red bead the size of a child's fist, which is crystal clear and beautiful.
After reading it, he looked at Gengchen carefully, and looked up to the sky and laughed. The heart said that no wonder this kid is born with the body of the fire spirit, it turns out that there is this cause in it, it seems that it is really a heavenly chance for the two of us to meet here.
Geng Chen's face was inexplicable, but he had already guessed that the problem was likely to be on the pendant, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what is that bead, how can it automatically absorb flames?"
"This is the Fire Spirit Bead, which has a huge effect on you, and your natural fire body comes from it. However, this is not an ordinary thing, and you must not show it easily in the future, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”
Gengchen hurriedly nodded in agreement, and when he looked up, he found that Shennong's expression had changed again, his originally smooth face was covered with deep wrinkles that crisscrossed vertically and horizontally, and his body was completely transparent, and the internal organs in his body and even the blood in his blood vessels could be seen clearly. I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, knowing that one more word of the teacher would accelerate the aging of the teacher, and I didn't dare to say anything again.
"Good boy, you can try to clapp your hands in the air according to the method I taught you to resist fire!" said Shennong at this time.
Gengchen had already felt the heat surging, and he had an inexhaustible strength, so he immediately jumped up and slapped the air in front of him.
"Boom~!"
In an instant, a flash of fire flashed, and a boulder several feet away was shattered by the blow of the firelight, and the debris flew everywhere.
Gengchen was stunned and froze there, looking at his palm in disbelief, he couldn't believe that his light blow was so powerful. Shennong shook his head, coughed weakly and said, "It's a pity, I don't have time to teach you the method of fighting, but fortunately, you are blessed with a deep fortune and the protection of the Fire Spirit Bead, so you should be able to arrive safely." ”
"The disciple must live up to his mission. Gengchen woke up from his stupor, and knelt on the ground with a pop.
Shennong nodded with satisfaction, and finally his face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "I have done nothing in my life, and the most proud thing is to completely separate human beings from the demons and develop our own civilization. It's a pity that I have limited abilities and can't make them live a comfortable life. Since you have accepted my mantle, you should also think of the common people in the world and contribute to the prosperity of mankind. ”
Gengchen is just a teenager, and he has been living in the mountains, where do he understand this, he is confused. However, the teacher's last words will not be wrong, and naturally there is no reason not to obey it, so he immediately bowed and said: "The disciple respectfully obeys the teacher's teachings!"
"Very good, very good, my wish has been fulfilled, and I can go with peace of mind. ”
Shennong said as he lit up a red flame to envelop his body, and soon the crystal-like body burned with the flames.
Gengchen's parents died when he was a child, and he was born with a fire body because he didn't know how to control it, and often unconsciously caused fires, and he has been regarded as a freak by the people in the tribe, and he has been alone in the mountains with fierce jackals as a companion these years, except for an elder who taught him to speak and write when he was a child, he almost never felt any family affection. Therefore, although I have only known Shennong for half a day, I have already regarded him as a close friend in my heart. Unexpectedly, this dear person left like this again, his heart was like a knife, tears were like springs, and he could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart, and knelt in front of Shennong and cried.
Shennong said in the flames at this time: "I have never been guilty to others in my life, only a woman is quite ashamed." When you succeed in cultivation, you will take care of her as a teacher. ”
"Master rest assured, the disciple will treat her like a sister. I just don't know what my sister's name is and where she lives now?"
"You'll know when you look back. ”
Shennong sighed softly after speaking, and Yu Huo sang the ballad intermittently:
Jingwei Mingxi... Heaven and earth moved!
Mountains and trees... Man-made fish insects!
A lady can't be a word... Father grieves!
Why is the sea uneven... Rough!
May future generations be... Do not go into the sea!
May our nation be ... Always be proud of the mainland!
