A year ago, on the day of Su Daxia's death, when Chu Qingliu came to the grave with his master to pay respects, it was early spring, and his vitality had not yet been revealed, and he did not see the green shoots. Come again today, but Qingming is near, the mountains are full of flowers, and there is already paper money and incense at the intersection of the village head, Chu Qingliu bought some casually, and bought a small jar of village wine, and Mei Zhanxue shared it.

Mei Zhanxue took it and said, "Su Yiyue treats us as enemies, and you burn paper for her father." Your kindness, people are afraid that they will not appreciate it. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "I didn't have a chance to meet Su Daxia, but Mrs. Su Wen Nuxia has seen it, and she is really a good person." Let's pay homage to our predecessors and just do our best. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Su Daxia and Wen Heroines are all good people, but it's a pity that the daughter she gave birth to is not good." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "It's wrong for her to stab her eldest brother, but she also has her own sufferings. I've seen her cry at night in the wilderness behind Miaoyiguan, and I can't bear to listen to it. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Her sufferings are all self-inflicted, and she still has the face to cry? I was forced to be like this, didn't she cry?"

Xu Wancun said: "That is, you are much more sensible and smarter than that Miss Su." You can see my poison technique, and no one can do it. What's the use of crying? Can tears be used to water flowers? I don't think so. Crying and being blind, it's really hard to heal. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "It seems that I am the only one who can cry, I am blind from crying, you Mr. Xu will treat me." ”

Xu Wancun hurriedly said: "Don't, don't! You're crying blind, I won't treat it, if you don't believe it, you can try,---- no, don't try." Wei Da Chu Er, you have to help me persuade you, you can't look at my jokes!"

Mei Zhanxue looked at Wei Shuoren and Chu Qingliu, and said with a smile: "Big brother and second brother, you don't have to be afraid, I'm talking about playing, so I won't cry." Let's go to the grave. ”

When he came to the grave, Chu Qingliu lit the fire and burned the paper, slapped the wine jar open and poured out half of the wine, kowtowed and prayed, and said: "Su Daxia, you are a masterpiece when you live, and the heroic spirit will be immortal after death, may you bless us to find the murderer as soon as possible." ”

Mei Zhanxue kowtowed and said, "Su Daxia, please bless us to open the Southern Dart Game to defeat the Chaos Alliance and avenge the dead brother." ”

Wei Shuoren said: "Su Xianbai, I respect you as a character, you died first, I am the same age as you, and I will worship you today." "Kneel down and salute.

Xu Wancun said: "People in the grave, if you really have a spirit, please don't be ignorant, give me enlightenment, and open my eyes." If I can't avenge your grievances, I'm afraid there will be no one else in the world. Then he bowed his head upright, and got up and looked around the grave.

Mei Zhanxue said: "Mr. Xu, you don't really want to dig a grave, do you? I'm a little scared. In our place, there is a lot of pomp and circumstance in digging graves, and I am not very old, and I know this. Let's dig like this, if we alarm the soul, it's not fun, I'm afraid. ”

Xu Wancun said: "Don't be afraid, with me, there is no need to break the ground and dig graves." As he spoke, he paced around the mound.

After turning around a few times, he walked northwest towards the mound, walked ten steps, and leaned over the ground to take a closer look. muttered: "The time is not in tune, I came late, I was late." The three of them didn't dare to step forward and scratch it, for fear of stepping on something by mistake.

Xu Wancun carefully inspected a piece of ground about the size of three rooms, and then turned to look at it from the beginning. This time, he saw it quickly, strode around a few times, drew a piece of ground the size of a tabletop with his toes, and beckoned to Chu Qingliu: "You come to dig, I'll rest and rest." He said he was resting, but he still stood where he was.

The three approached, and Mei Zhanxue said, "Mr. Xu, there is no guy, how can this be dug up?"

Wei Shuoren drew a heavy knife and said, "I'll come." ”

Xu Wancun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "You can't come, this is a delicate job, you don't have the patience." ”

Mei Zhanxue took out a short sword and used the blade of the sword to loosen a layer of soil, and Chu Qingliu held the soil in his hand to move away. Xu Wancun was constantly speaking and pointing, for fear that the sword blade would sink too deep into the ground, so he dug for more than an hour before digging more than a foot deep. Xu Wancun stopped the two and went to dig it himself. Wei Shuoren had already seen impatience, and walked to the side and used the knife over and over again.

Xu Wancun sniffed her fingers while digging, and explained to Mei Zhanxue, no matter how much she understood. After digging for about a quarter of an hour, he finally shouted: "It's here, go and call Lao Wei to come and see." ”

When Lao Wei was called, he said: "Be careful and watch all of them, this kind of thing, in this life, none of you can expect to be able to watch it a second time." "Dig with your fingers little by little, and a flower slowly emerges from the mud.

This flower is the size of a bowl, as high as an adult's palm, the roots are facing up, the leaves are facing down, the roots are white, and the leaves are in the shape of copper coin-sized round pieces, there are seven pieces in total, four pieces are more red and less black, and three pieces are more black and less red.

Xu Wancun said to the three of them: "Have you seen it all clearly?"

Together with Wei Shuoren, the three of them responded in unison: "I see it clearly." Xu Wancun nodded, and used soil to cover the flower, which was composed entirely of roots, and was about to tear his own clothes. Wei Shuoren waved his knife to cut off the hem of the robe and spread it on the ground, and Xu Wancun moved the dirt bag to the cloth and wrapped it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Straightened up and said, "This thing has a good name, it's called 'Colorful Earth Lotus', and it is an object that can be met and cannot be sought. ”

Wei Shuoren said: "You just give me a happy word, say whether there is poison in this grave, and say whether you can trace it out, this strange flower is really not rare for me." ”

Xu Wancun said: "You are not rare, you don't understand." If you understand, I'm afraid you'll have to wield a knife to grab it. I was walking around the grave just now, and that's called hope. No matter how you look at it, you can see anything, and you won't understand it. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Can I understand?"

Xu Wancun said: "This kung fu can not be understood by listening to other people's explanations, nor can it be taught, you have to figure it out by yourself, and after dealing with drugs for a long time, it will naturally be." Different drugs have different smells and breaths, which ordinary people know. Even if it is buried in the ground, after the sun shines, there are different light and shadow leaking and rising, this section, there are not so many people who know, even if they know, they may not be able to distinguish, it is useless. ”

Mei Zhanxue said discouragedly: "This is too mysterious. ”

Xu Wancun said: "It's not too mysterious. Legend has it that those who were truly proficient in medicine in ancient times could assert that someone in a room was dying from a few rooms away. This kind of miraculous skill, according to me, is not all about looking, but also on hearing and smelling, and it can only be done by using all the five senses and six senses. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Mr. Xu, do you have this ability?"

Wei Shuoren said with a smile: "The third sister actually said childish words, how can you answer Lao Xu's words? If you want to say that you can't see it, that is to say that you are not proficient in medical Taoism, he must be unwilling, saying that he can see it, he is weak in his heart, afraid that you will try him." ”

Xu Wancun smiled: "Old Wei, you are really a villain. Let me tell you the truth, I can still see the house of acquaintances, but I can't see the house of the living. You say, am I empty or not in my heart?"

Mei Zhanxue said: "It's not false. Tell me quickly, what kind of poison is in this grave, and how to find the person who poisoned it. ”

Xu Wancun said: "Since you can conclude that the grave is poisonous, why do you want to dig up this strange flower again? Of course, it is to make you believe that I am not talking nonsense, and this flower has great uses." Why should you be so careful? If this flower breaks a leaf, a thin root, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced, and it is really not to be neglected. The remnants of the grave are limited by the terrain, and with the rain washing, most of them gather in this place, and this rare strange flower is born. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "It's not necessarily rare, as long as you cultivate this skill, don't do anything else every day, go to the cemetery to wander around, are you afraid that you won't encounter a poisonous grave?"

Xu Wancun said: "You can think of this, it's not stupid." However, there have been many people who have also had such thoughts, and few have done so. You must know that the poison in this tomb is not an ordinary mundane thing, and even if it is poison, not everyone can eat it. ”

"The grave is poisonous, and it will be 'the year of the year' is undoubted. This good name was given by the Tang people, and when this poison first appeared, it was just called 'change and dispersion', saying that it could secretly shorten people's lifespan. According to the Jin people's medical book "Nanshan Youzhi", this medicine was only available in the two Jin Dynasty. ”

"The Jin people were incompetent in governing the country, which led Hu Er to slaughter Hua and lost half of the mountains and rivers. is confused in big things, but he is still a little smart, and he has some experience in smelting. ”

Wei Shuoren said disdainfully: "If you burn too much, try too much, you can always burn something, which is not a great skill." ”

Xu Wancun said: "According to what you say, as long as a person does not eat or drink, and exercises day and night, he will definitely become a master? ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Mr. Xu, don't pay attention to him, it's important." ”

Xu Wancun said: "They are probably also very bored, and they put many irrelevant things, from the most precious and rare, such as gold and jade, to the most filthy and common, such as poop and urine, all of them are put into a furnace and burned, and no one can say what can be burned." Because of this, it is also possible to conclude that there are some things that have never existed in the world, and poisons that have never existed before, which are very miraculous. ”

"Among these poisons, there is a kind of thing called 'Immortal Stone', which is extremely difficult to come by, not to mention expensive, and it all depends on luck to touch it. In this way, you have calculated the amount of gold and silver and put it in the furnace to burn, this time you can burn the 'immortal stone', and the next time you burn it in the old way, you can't burn anything, and if you burn it again, you still can't burn it. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "This is very unreasonable. ”

Wei Shuoren said: "What's unreasonable? It's the same dog, why do some dogs have dog treasures in their stomachs, and some dogs do? Have you ever heard of the kiln change?"

Mei Zhanxue was puzzled: "The kiln will also change, what can it be conjured?"

Xu Wancun ignored her and said: "This 'immortal stone' has a slight spicy smell, and after taking it, in the first few years, it has the effect of rejuvenation." After two or three years, the person will die violently, and there will be no retrieval after death. Later, some doctors intervened, added drug compatibility, removed the peculiar smell, made it colorless and tasteless, and it was truly difficult to detect and argue, and this 'immortal stone' also had the name of "change and dispersion", from a tonic to a poison. ”

"This thing is not easy to come by, and there are too few people to burn, and there are too many people to poison, which is very insufficient, so some people use drugs with similar properties to replace it. Since it is a substitute, it is difficult to compare with the original, the first is to have a more or less peculiar smell, which must be used in conjunction with food, such as poison with a sour taste, so simply go down to the vinegar. ”

Wei Shuoren said hatefully: "It seems that in this world, there is still the worst human heart. ”

Xu Wancun said: "You can't be colorless and tasteless, this is still secondary." The trouble is that after taking this kind of fake change pill, when the effect of the drug is onset and the person's life is taken, it cannot be silent, which is also a huge loophole. The poison that Su Xianbai was poisoned by was still a pure Flowing Year Rapid Pill in the early stage, but later, when the real thing ran out, he had to use a substitute fake. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Big brother and second brother, I understand, do you understand?"

Wei Shuoren said: "What's the use of just hearing and understanding? You have to think of finding out the murderer, then you can be regarded as capable." ”

Xu Wancun said: "If you can find the murderer, you have to meet Su Xianbai's servants first, and then go to Su Xianbai's house to have a look." Did his cook catch it too?"
