Chapter Twenty-Three: Suzaku Nirvana
When the three of them walked into Wu's house, they saw that the leader Huo Gang and the captain of the other team, Tong Gu, had arrived.
"Here, let's all sit down!" Seeing the three of them come in, Wu nodded slowly.
After the three of them sat down, Wu said slowly with a solemn face: "This time Mu Yong's hunting team has hunted back a green-scaled leopard, which is worth celebrating, but the situation is not too optimistic, I just received news from the nearby Aoki tribe, their hunting team encountered two fierce beasts in three days, a wind wolf and a steel-toothed lynx!"
"Ahh
"Yes" Wu shook his head slowly, and sighed: "Their losses are not small, the first time was when the team encountered the wind wolf and lost three people, and the second time was prepared, the team encountered, but it was still the loss of two people to scare the steel tooth lynx away!"
The faces of the five people were solemn, and at this time they were no longer as relaxed as before.
Huo Gang took a deep breath, looked at Wu, and said in a deep voice: "The Aoki tribe is closer to the depths of the mountain range than us, and the chance of encountering fierce beasts is greater than ours, but why is this?
Wu was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Over the years, there have been hidden rumors in our clan that the king of the Azure Mountain Range, the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird, has climbed to the limit of the bloodline, and it is very likely that he will forcibly achieve Nirvana in an attempt to advance to the Divine Beast. ”
"Now it seems that it is very likely that the Vermilion Bird has become nirvana, the Azure Mountain Range has no owner, and the beasts are competing for the king, causing some low-level fierce beasts to wander around."
"Holy Beast Vermilion Bird Nirvana?" the five of them looked stunned again.
The leaders of the tribe were nervously discussing the matter of this fierce beast, and Fang Luoya was also leading Yun Ling at this time, and the two of them were busy sweating.
"Yun Ling, don't we have an iron pot at home?" Fang Luoya said helplessly.
"Iron pot, of course not!" Yun Ling opened a pair of beautiful big eyes, looked at Fang Luoya, and said helplessly: "Except for Wu You, a big iron pot, everyone uses clay pots to cook soup on weekdays."
For this result, Fang Luoya was not too surprised, the tribe did not have many iron weapons, and they were basically weapons, it seemed that the Wu clan was not too keen on using iron tools, of course, it seemed that this was also related to the lack of iron in the Wu clan itself.
And on weekdays, the diet of the tribe is also very simple, basically roasting meat directly on the fire, and then cooking a few yams in a clay pot, or cooking a soup or something, there is no such thing as frying and frying at all.
But don't worry if you don't have an iron pot, Yun Ling still helped find a big clay pot, which is still good for boiling bones, but it has to be harder, pay attention not to be burned dry, otherwise the clay pot will be burned and the medicine will be in vain.
Although the family was not leaning against the river, Mu Yong still used bamboo to bring in a spring from the rock wall next to it, and Fang Luoya led Yun Ling to wash the clay pot with spring water, and then cleaned the iron-backed vine and animal bones again;
After washing the animal bones, Fang Luoyana took them to the board, picked up the thick-backed knife, and began to chop up the animal bones;
Soon, however, he realized that he was too naïve
He tried his best to chop these beast bones, but he couldn't chop them at all, at most there was a shallow white mark on them.
Shaking his right arm, which was already extremely sore, and looking at the knife that had already faintly appeared with a few slight chips, Fang Luoya could only sigh gloomily, and then gave up those sturdy leg bones and the like, and just carefully chopped the entire spine bone into several pieces.
Fortunately, although this spine bone is long, it can still be chopped off from the position of the joint, but it also makes Fang Luoya sweat solidly.
Looking at these spine bones that had been chopped into several sections, Fang Luoya reached out and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and moved his sore right arm vigorously, finally confirming a fact again.
He is really too weak, this blue-scaled leopard is said to be the lowest level of fierce beasts, and he can't even chop its bones; if he encounters more powerful fierce beasts in the future, can he still be sure to deal with it?
It is impossible for you to stay in the tribe for the rest of your life, you must become stronger in order to survive in this world, and only by becoming stronger can you take care of Yunling!
Secretly clenching his fists, Fang Luoya took a deep breath, and then looked at the pile of green-scaled leopard bones and a mass of iron-backed vines beside him, these would be the first steps to become stronger.
Having prepared everything, Fang Luoya began to put these leopard bones into the clay pot, but after he put a third of the leopard bones into it, he was depressed and found that he could no longer put it down;
There is no way to chop these leopard bones, and the longest leg bones are even nearly three feet long, barely able to fit into this three-foot-tall pot-bellied clay pot.
Looking at this situation, Fang Luoya couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded
And Yun Ling on the side, looking at this scene at this time, was also a little stunned;
"Brother Luoya, why don't we come in batches?" Yun Ling hesitated and looked at Fang Luoya.
Fang Luoya shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "No, we will have at least four or five days for a batch, these bones can't be kept for so long, and the effect will be greatly weakened if they stay for a long time!"
Looking at Fang Luoya's embarrassed appearance, Yun Ling frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, I remember that Aunt Tong also has a big clay pot at home, I'll borrow it!"
"Oh, that's great, hurry up, hurry up!"
After a short time, Fang Luoya filled two clay pots with this leopard bone
Looking at the pile of leopard bones that was about a quarter left, Yun Ling was also a little helpless.
"Brother Luoya, why don't I go and see who else is there?"
Fang Luoya thought for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't need these beast bones, I have another use!"
Although the two large clay pots were filled with leopard bones, most of the bones could not be chopped off, so they did not contain too much, and one clay pot Fang Luoya poured a whole bucket of water into it.
Seeing this, Fang Luoya was also a little relieved, if he could pour a bucket of water into it, then he didn't need to work so hard to take care of this fire jar.
The stove room of Yun Ling's house is much stronger than that of others, not only does it have a stove, but there are also two stoves on top of the stove, which has long made Fang Luoya a little puzzled;
You must know that in other people's homes in the tribe, many stoves do not have a fire pond, which directly roasts meat and wants to cook things, that is, hang a clay pot on the fire pond and cook it directly;
Xiang Yunling's family is such a formal and upright stove room, in this big cliff tribe, it is really unique.
However, this time it came in handy, and there was no need to build another stove.
Placing the two clay pots on the stove of the stove, Yun Ling flicked the ashes in the fire pit next to him, revealing the red coals buried in the fire pit, and used a handful of thatch to lead the fire, and began to make a fire in the stove.
Fang Luoya was not idle at this time, chopping the cleaned iron-backed rattan into sections with a knife, dividing it into six parts, and then throwing two of them into two large clay pots.
This iron-backed vine is a good medicinal material for strengthening bones and tendons, but its medicinal properties are extremely strong, and if ordinary people take it directly, or decoction, it is easy to be poisoned and cause problems.
Therefore, it is normal for Wu Zhi to take mild leaves into medicine.
But he didn't know that there was a saying of long-term decoction in Chinese medicine;
Many toxic Chinese medicines in traditional Chinese medicine, such as aconitum and aconite, will be reduced by special processing, and then when decocting the medicine, the doctor will write that it should be taken first.
The meaning of the first decoction is to decoction first, which should be decocted for a longer period of time than other drugs, so as to reduce its toxicity again while maintaining its effect, so as to prevent poisoning.
The same is true of this iron-backed vine, but Fang Luoya does not plan to deliberately concoct it, because the processing method of this rattan is very troublesome;
After a few days of decoction, the toxic effect has almost been eliminated, and it is just right to exert its medicinal power.
However, Fang Luoya deliberately left one and prepared to add it for the second time, so as not to slow down the dissolution of the medicinal power of the leopard bone after two or three days.
After completing all these things, Fang Luoya handed it over to Yun Ling to take care of the fire, and he used a bucket to knock the remaining leopard bones up, and then carried them towards the outside
