Chapter 20: Poisonous Mushrooms (4)
After returning from Linglong Pavilion, Jiang Wu began to take the blood pill. The effect of this elixir is really wonderful, after Jiang Wu takes one in the morning and one in the evening, although it is still a loss of qi and blood, it will not be pale and bloodless. Thanks to the help of this blood pill, he was able to continue to follow his master's instructions and nourish his sword with blood every day.
The Dian Qing Sword is nourished by his daily blood, and it is becoming more and more handy to use. Jiang Wu used a little green sword to cultivate the basic sword technique left by his master, and sure enough, it was a matter of course, in just a few days, he had already cultivated a small half of those few pages of sword technique.
Now, if Jiang Wu encounters a demon beast like a vampire demon bat, he doesn't need the help of others, he only needs to sacrifice some green swords, and he can kill them within a few swords.
As for Jiang Chen, he completely gave up cultivation. He had long been accustomed to not having a chance with the cultivation path, and this attempt was fruitless, and he was not too disappointed, but was very pleased with his brother's rapid progress.
On this day, a guest came to the Chenwu Daoist Hall, this person was dressed in green clothes, wearing a veil, and a slender figure, it was the female cultivator who sold blood pills at the beginning.
The female cultivator took out two medicines, put them on the table, and said coldly: "The blood pill you want has been refined. Don't talk too much about other things!"
Jiang Chen checked it, and there were a lot of blood pills in the two medicine bottles, which was enough for Jiang Wu to complete a month's sword cultivation with blood. He happily agreed: "Your Excellency, don't worry! We have received your elixir, so we are naturally tight-lipped and will never talk nonsense again." ”
The nun nodded, she was silent for a moment, and asked curiously, "How did you see the flaw?"
Jiang Chen said: "Does the third miss want to know? In fact, there is also a doubt in the following, I don't know why the third miss did this? If it is strange in the next word, can the third miss also tell the reason?"
The nun groaned for a moment, then agreed, "Okay. You speak first!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Actually, at first, I thought that the colored lingzhi was a poisonous mushroom, but when it burst, I knew that it was not a poisonous mushroom. Because the highly toxic spores produced when the mushroom bursts should be tiny beads of poisonous blood, forming a blood mist. And the spores formed by the colored Lingzhi are like a piece of green smoke, which is obviously wrong!"
"Do you even know what the poisonous spores of the poisonous mushroom look like?" Female Cultivator Daqi: "The poisonous mushroom is transformed by the poisonous demon of one of the three major guards of the Demon Venerable after his death, and it is extremely poisonous, it is said that anyone who sees the poisonous mushroom burst with his own eyes is poisoned to death, so no one knows what the poisonous spores look like, how do you know?"
Jiang Chen laughed: "Few people know, but it doesn't mean that no one knows." I saw the relevant records from a lost ancient book, so I know a little bit about it. ”
The nun nodded: "Okay, even if you can see that the mushroom is fake, but I always wear a veil, how can you recognize me as the third lady of Yaowangzhuang?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said solemnly: "This is a secret, you can't just say it!"
"If you don't say it, forget it!" the female cultivator snorted coldly: "Most of it is your blind guess." You know that I'm not dead, and suddenly there is a woman selling pills, so I make a bold guess, it's just a matter of luck. ”
"It's not by luck!" Jiang Wu smiled: "My brother is talented, and his five senses are much sharper than ordinary people. He said that there is a faint fragrance on your body, and when you get close and smell it, you will know that you are the third lady!"
"Perverted!" The female cultivator suddenly took a few steps to the side, far away from Jiang Chen, as if she was afraid that Jiang Chen would smell her body fragrance.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Jiang Chen hurriedly explained: "What I smelled was the medicinal aroma of medicinal herbs. Miss San is often exposed to certain medicinal herbs, so she naturally has a little medicinal fragrance, which is different, so it is easier to identify. ”
"Third Miss, you haven't said why you want to act in this play!" Jiang Chen quickly put aside the topic.
The nun sighed and said, "I also have a last resort. My father and mother had four daughters, but no sons. Those uncles and uncles forced my father to recruit a son-in-law and inherit the incense. My father was weak and agreed under pressure. Then the elders of the clan ignored the opposition of me and my mother, and set a family affair for me, and the other party was an old, ugly, and stupid guy, which was annoying to look at! I didn't want to live or die, so I discussed it with my eldest sister and used this method of fake death to escape from my relatives. ”
"I see!" Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, it seems that the third lady is familiar with "The Story of the East Chamber", and it is exactly the same as the plot in the play!"
"Have you read that book?" said the nun in amazement, and then realized that she had lost her words.
Jiang Chen said: "The third lady used the story in the play to perfunctory us, but it was very insincere. I'm just afraid that one of our brothers will accidentally say that he will leak his mouth......"
"Well, it's not all perfunctory!" the nun explained, "Actually, there are other reasons. Our Sun family is known as the family of the king of medicine, but in the past 100 years, there has been an ancestral teaching, strictly prohibiting the children of the clan from practicing medicine and alchemy, and only being a merchant who buys and sells medicinal materials, and will never become a doctor. ”
"I've been interested in all kinds of pills since I was a child, and I've always been secretly alchemist. This time, I left the house with the help of the method of fake death, which was also to facilitate the continued exploration of various Dan prescriptions. ”
Jiang Chen nodded: "This reason is somewhat credible. However, why does Yaowangzhuang have such a strange ancestral teaching? Yaowangzhuang has lived on medicinal materials for generations, and is proficient in the medicinal properties and curative effects of various medicinal materials, so it is more convenient to practice medicine, so why is it strictly forbidden for future generations to practice medicine?"
The nun sighed, "That's a long story. More than 100 years ago, there was a world-famous doctor in my grandson's family, but because of some flaws in the diagnosis of a big person, he was not only killed, but also almost punished the whole family. The Sun family, who survived, fled elsewhere and made an ancestral precept not to practice medicine again. The Sun family has been making a living from medicine for generations, and they can't practice medicine, so they rely on selling medicinal herbs to make a living. Unexpectedly, it became bigger and bigger, and gradually became the name of Yaowangzhuang. ”
"So that's the case!" Jiang Wu sighed: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Even people with scenery like Yaowangzhuang have something that they can't help themselves. ”
Jiang Chen said: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, our brothers are homeless, but the third miss has a home and can't return home, I don't know what the third miss plans next?"
The nun said, "I originally planned to live in Linglong Pavilion for the time being, alchemy and sell pills. However, there is no shortage of hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the rivers and lakes, and since I can be recognized by you, maybe I will also be recognized by other Taoists. Linglong Pavilion is not a place to live for a long time, and I haven't figured out where to live yet. ”
"It's better to stay in Yunlan Town!" Jiang Wu said: "Although Yunlan Town is small, there are no other Taoists except for our brothers, but the people here are simple and simple, and the people are very enthusiastic and easy to get along with. ”
"Well, I'll think about it!" said the nun, "but let me state first, I'm not here because you two stayed! I'm here to supervise you not to talk nonsense, and if there is any rumor of it, I'll poison you at once!"
