Chapter 4: Soul Extraction
Since Jiang Nian's gift of tying his hair, Jiang Wu has to go up the mountain every other month.
The neighbors greeted each other warmly, and they didn't ask much, but Jiang Wu was going to go up the mountain to hunt for a living, and only Jiang Nian and his mother knew that this was very different from going up the mountain usually.
Looking at Qingyun Mountain, Jiang Wu tightened the long rope on his body and walked along the business road towards the foot of the mountain.
After an hour's journey, he walked fast, but he came to the bottom of the mountain much earlier.
It was late autumn, and fierce beasts in the mountains and forests were infested, looking for food, which also made no one around, and few people dared to come to Qingyun Mountain, but this also suited his heart.
After checking around and making sure that there was no one nearby, Jiang Wu went into the dense forest, but gave up the road up the mountain.
In the dense forest, he scattered a few nests of medicine arrows everywhere, and it would be good if there were some windfalls on the way back.
After walking for a while, he came to a stream under the rock, and saw an arrow mark on the rock wall, Jiang Wu couldn't help but recall the scene that happened a few months ago.
It turned out that Jiang Nian's "Miscellaneous Notes on Fitness" recorded a lot of medicinal diet prescriptions to nourish the body, but most of the materials required were unheard of for Jiang Wu, only this Linggan diet was expensive, but there was a place to find it.
When he gathered all the materials, he couldn't make the sweet food on the prescription of 'sweet food'.
Although he failed, this matter was still firmly in his heart.
A few months ago, Jiang Nian's gift of binding his hair was coming, and Jiang Wu went into the mountain to hunt a small beast and give it to his son as a gift of adulthood.
During the search, I didn't find a suitable little beast, but I found a flower deer with beautiful fur, if I could use this fur to make a warm cushion for my son's bamboo chair, it would be very suitable.
Under the pursuit, the deer was injured by an arrow, Jiang Wu got closer and closer, and Hualu panicked and fell into the mountain stream behind Qingyun Mountain.
Came to the edge of the stream, only to see a clear pond under the mountain stream, the surface of the clear pond is eight or nine zhang high from the top of the stream, the flower deer floats motionless on the water surface, and it is dead to think about it.
Jiang Wu pondered around the mountain stream for a long time, the stream wall was straight and steep, and there was no place to stay, so he decided to give up salvaging the prey in desperation.
Strange to say, just as he was about to leave, the seriously injured floating deer in the pool was struggling to pounce on the water, came to a bluestone at the bottom of the stream, wagged its tail, and did not look seriously injured and dying at all.
When Jiang Wu saw this scene, he was puzzled and surprised, and finally he was deeply shocked, in his opinion, this pool of water actually has the effect of bringing the dead back to life!
On the second day he took the rope again to the side of the stream, and without hesitation, he fixed the rope and went down into the pool.
For him, this waterhole is about whether his son can recover his body, and it is the closest he has come to hope in so many years!
The pool of water was not above his chest, and Jiang Wu did not feel anything special except for the exception of being extremely cold.
He tried to recall the scene when the deer fell into the pool, and after a while, he actually took out the long knife beside him, the knife was half sheathed, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it, and the bright red blood soaked the pool water along his arm. He's mimicking the scene where Hanalu is injured!
At this time, a magical scene happened!
The blood that had just dripped into the pool seemed to have disappeared, and then the pool water glowed with a faint green light, and the injured palm immediately stopped the bleeding when it touched the pool!
Jiang Wu is an ordinary man, and the impact of this scene on him cannot be expressed in words.
The shock in his heart, as well as the excitement that his son's body is expected to be cured, made him unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
After a long time, Jiang Wu, who came back to his senses, began to grope around, touched the bottom of the pool, but found nothing, drank a few sips of pool water, and it was no different from ordinary landscapes.
The miracle that happened just now is now gone?
He tried his best to restrain the restlessness caused by excessive eagerness in his heart, and the cold pool of water hit his face, forcibly calming himself down.
If the hope that was close in front of him was dashed, he thought he would go crazy.
After swimming to the edge of the pool and searching every inch of the place, he was a little depressed, but still found nothing.
Recalling the moment when the wound healed, he reached out and drew his knife, and the pool was red with blood again.
With his first experience, this time he carefully observed the changes in the water in the pool.
In about two or three breaths, the blood stained with the red pool suddenly disappeared, replaced by a little green fluorescence, like fireflies in a summer night.
Blood dripping into the pool, the green fluorescence will rush to catch up, Jiang Wu put his palm into the water, the fluorescence concentrated on his wound, he had the courage to hold it gently, the fluorescence actually passed through the palm, and then continued to repair his wound!
With a stick of incense, the wound healed, and those green points of light also broke away from the palm of the hand and scattered in the pool water, disappearing.
After several temptations, Jiang Wu vaguely grasped a few points: this fluorescent light point has the magical ability to heal; without blood, they will scatter and disappear in the pool water; they cannot be mastered, but they can be relied on in the water.
Worried about whether this thing was poisonous, for the safety of his son, he took the risk of swallowing a few points of light to see if there was anything unusual, but as soon as he swallowed it in his mouth, the points of light returned to the pool through his body.
In the end, he didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed. It's not so magical, it's useless to eat it, and it's useless to regenerate a broken limb? It seems that it only has the ability to repair wounds, so what's the use of bringing it back.
In the end, he still used the copper kettle he usually drank to fill a pot of water, there were more than a dozen fluorescent light spots in it, no matter whether it was useful or not, he couldn't come in vain, let alone so magical.
Strange to say, these points of light stopped moving when they left the pool, and lay quietly in the pot.
After Jiang Wu went home, Jiang Mu Wanyu was in the medicine jar according to the steps contained in the book, step by step to make spiritual sweet food, but to the last step there was still no 'wonderful and picturesque' in the book, obviously failed again.
Jiang Wu had been silently watching Wanyu's steps until the last step failed, and he sighed softly.
"It's okay, it's not the first time, let's think about the prescription and try again. Jiang Wu reassured.
"Let's not talk about this prescription, look at what I have brought!" He was a little excited, came to his wife, opened the copper kettle, and handed it over.
Wanyu took the copper kettle and saw that there were many points of light in the kettle, which was also amazing.
"Huh, why is there a point of light that goes out?"
"What? extinguished?!" Jiang Wu was startled by his wife's words, and he hurriedly took the kettle to look at it.
The two of them were surprised and accidentally knocked over the kettle, and the fluorescent light dots spilled out with the pool water, and several fell into the medicine jar in front of Wanyu.
When the two of them were in a hurry, there was a sudden sound in the medicine jar, and in an instant, an extremely sweet smell emanated from the jar! Then a spiritual light shot out, and a light and shadow appeared at the mouth of the jar, and if you looked closely, it was actually the image of a tree!
Wanyu was so shocked that she couldn't speak, for her, this was simply a miracle.
Jiang Wu hurriedly picked up the medicine jar, and a white ball the size of a child's fist was lying quietly at the bottom of the jar.
It's sweet and picturesque!
This Linggan Meal was actually made by chance!
