The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the glass windows, illuminating the room in gold.

Pang Xie sat in front of the fire, looked at the medicinal soup in the casserole, and shook his head slightly, no matter how he tried, the medicinal properties could not be broken through.

It took a whole day, six different pairs of medicinal materials in a row, and repeatedly exerted the "medicine" magic power in the medicinal soup, and the results were all the same, after the medicinal properties reached a limit value, they were no longer changing, and it was only in vain to inject more aura.

Just like boiling the water in a kettle to 100 degrees is the limit, continuing to increase the heat can only make the water boil more, but it cannot make the water increase even one degree.

Practicing supernatural powers, inside not outside.

Pang Xie closed his eyes, his mind sank into the dantian, and he saw that in the dantian cyclone, four silver runes were suspended and did not move.

When these four runes first entered the cyclone, they were all a little silver light, bright and uncertain, and after a long time, they gradually showed the difference, one of the runes changed the most obviously, almost condensed into substance, which was a "medicine" rune, and the other two did not have such obvious changes, but they also gradually transformed into substance, these two were "drinking water" and "shooting", and one rune was the most illusory, still a little silver light, which was not transformed into substance at all, and it was the "vigorous" rune.

The "Medicine" supernatural power has been infused with the most spiritual energy, and the transformation is also the fastest, the two runes of "Drinking Water" and "Shooting" have only been infused once, and they are also transforming into substance, only the "Vigorous" rune has not been cultivated, and it is still an illusory silver light.

Pang Xie secretly speculated, only afraid that the day when the rune condensed into the essence would be the time when the "Beginning Solution" was completed, but unfortunately the later the rune transformation became, the slower it became, and the "medicine" rune was only one point away from condensing into the essence more than a month ago, but there was almost no change in the past month, only by careful observation could we find a slight progress, if it was according to this progress, I don't know when it would be condensed into the substance.

"Brother Pang, it's time to eat!" Li Yueya's crisp voice came from outside the house.

Pang Xie turned off the stove, got up and came to the living room, and there was a table of dishes on the dining table, husband and wife lung slices, mapo tofu, boiled pork slices, etc., all of which were spicy Shuzhou dishes.

Pang Xie occupied the kitchen and fried medicine all day, Li Tianhua couldn't cook, and he ordered takeout for lunch and dinner.

After eating, Pang Xie went back to the house by himself and practiced supernatural powers.

Li Tianhua didn't bother him, and continued to explain notes to Xiao Yueya in the living room, and the content of the explanation was no longer limited to mathematics, physics and other subjects, but also included his thoughts and views on the whole world.

Pang Xie could see that Li Tianhua wanted to teach everything he had learned in his life to Xiao Yueya before he died.

......

Nightfall, early in the morning.

Pang Xie rubbed his numb temples, got up and went to the living room, this day has consumed a lot of energy, and there is still no progress in the supernatural powers.

After pouring a cup of hot water, Pang Xie pushed open the window, and the cold air rushed to his face, and his spirits were lifted.

During the day, the weather is good, the sun is warm, and the snow melts a lot, but the melting snow absorbs heat from the air, so although the snow has disappeared, it is colder than yesterday.

Ponche is accustomed to winter these days, and the cold, dry air is refreshing and unique.

"Brother Pang...", someone behind him called him softly.

Pang Xie turned his head silently, Li Yueya was not far behind him, dressed in a fluffy fawn pajamas, his eyes were red, and his teeth were biting his lower lip tightly.

"Haven't slept yet?"

"I can't sleep. ”

"Rest early, staying up late is not good for your health. ”

"Actually, I didn't fall asleep in the hospital that day, and I heard everything you said to my brother. ”

"I know—" Ponsie reached out and placed his hand on Little Crescent's head.

When he first entered the ward the day before yesterday, he found that the little crescent did not fall asleep, but the little crescent did not get up, and he did not say anything, yesterday evening, he heard the sobbing sound of the little crescent, and he wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

"I'm nothing... My brother is hard, he only has two days left to live, and he has to take care of me, I understand, he doesn't tell me the truth, he just wants to spend these few days happily with me, and leave a good memory. ”

"It's not easy for both of you..."

"I'm sorry for my brother, and I'm sorry for my parents, my parents are gone... Brother is leaving now..."Li Yueya spoke, and suddenly pounced on Pang Xie's chest, tears like pearls with broken threads, flowing down his cheeks, instantly wetting Pang Xie's clothes.

"Don't be sad, it's not your fault. Pang Xie gently patted the back of the little crescent moon with his hand, he was a demon turned into a human, and he didn't know how to comfort people, but he remembered that three hundred years ago, by Jinshan Lake, an old monk with white hair was like this to comfort the grief-stricken little apprentice.

"Brother Pang, you don't know, it's really my fault, it's always been my fault..."

"My mom and dad worked on a geological expedition, and one winter eight years ago, they went to the Tien Shan Mountains to inspect a valley, leaving my brother and I homeschooled. One day, I didn't come back until late, and my brother went out to look for me in a hurry, and when someone robbed me, he was slashed and seriously injured during the fight..."

"After Mom and Dad got the news, they went out of the mountain overnight despite the heavy snow and wanted to rush back to see my brother, but there was a car accident and the car slid into a deep valley..."

"Brother Pang, do you know why my brother catches a cold?"

"The day before yesterday was the death day of my parents, my brother went to the grave to pay respects, and after he came back, he drank a lot of wine and stood downstairs for half a night, that's why it's like this..."

"It's all my fault... It's all my fault..."

Li Yueya couldn't cry, snuggled up to Pang Xie's chest, her body was trembling constantly, she couldn't breathe, and she felt like she was going to faint.

Pang Xie had never experienced such a scene in the past eight hundred years, and for a while, he didn't know what to say, and after a long time, he said softly: "Little crescent, don't cry first, there must be a way, you will definitely be able to heal your brother." ”

"Really?" Little Crescent looked up, her tear-filled eyes fixed on Pang Xie, filled with scorching light.

"Really. Ponche nodded.

"Brother Pang, you must help me. ”

"I know. ”

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Pang Xie got up, pushed the door and came to the living room, the room was spotless, Li Tianhua got up early, he had already prepared breakfast, and when he saw Pang Xie coming out, he went to ask Li Yueya to get up.

The three of them had breakfast, Li Tianhua took out his notes from the room, and talked about the past 20 years of life, every experience summed up, Li Yueya sat beside him, listened very seriously, obediently, and couldn't see the sadness of last night at all.

Pang Xie had breakfast, said goodbye, and went out, yesterday in the house for a day, there was no progress, the road of penance is no longer possible, it is better to go out for a walk, look for some inspiration, find other ways.

Out of the Shuncheng community, it is Shuncheng Lane, along the Shuncheng Lane all the way to the east, is a T-shaped intersection, turn south, is Yaowangdong Street.

Pang Xie had bought medicine on this street a few days ago, and he was familiar with this road, so he walked and walked here, and he arrived here unconsciously.

Yaowangdong Street belongs to the old town of Chang'an City, where most of the local residents are very lively, and there are shops on both sides of the street, selling things that can be used every day, including grocery stores, steamed bun shops, small shops, and several second-hand bookstores.

Pang Xie walked along the street, suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of herbs, when he looked up, he saw a building sitting north and facing south, occupying a large piece of land, and the surrounding small shops are not commensurate at all, and then look carefully, the door of this building is very new, obviously newly repaired, the name of a government agency is written, but the surrounding wall is some years, faint traces of cigarette smoke, I can't help but be curious.

Looking around, there is a second-hand book shop next to it, with several bookcases in the shop and two wire beds in front of the door, all piled with old books.

Just behind the bookstall stood a young man, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a star, wrapped in a plain cotton robe, holding a steaming roasted sweet potato, standing in front of the door with a smile, looking at the passers-by, who seemed to be the owner of the shop.

"Morning!" said Ponche a few steps closer to him.

"Have you eaten it early?" If you haven't eaten it, go to the bun shop next door and try it, his buns are good!" the young man smiled.

"I've already eaten it. ”

"You're not a local, are you?"

"How do you tell?"

"It's different in your eyes, you see everything fresh, but when you look at it, you're not a local. ”

"So..."

"Chang'an is a good place, how many emperors are here, if you have the opportunity to come over, you can go around, and there are many interesting places. ”

"Well, speaking of which, what was this courtyard next to it used to do, how did it smell like herbs, could it be that it used to be a pharmacy?" Pang Xie gestured to the building next to him.

"You can smell herbs too?" the young man's eyes moved, as if he was a little surprised.

"Of course. ”

"This place was still the Yaowang Temple a few decades ago, I was still in it at that time, and then it was changed to other uses, and the Taoist priests inside were gone. ”

"Medicine King Temple, could it be the "Medicine King" Sun Simiao?" Pang Xie asked, not noticing that the young man in front of him was only in his early twenties and had not been born decades ago.

"Of course, apart from his old man, who else can be the prince of medicine? The prince of medicine is a real compassionate heart, there are countless people in his life, and the emperor does not give him an official, he would rather go to Zhongnan Mountain to taste a hundred herbs..."

"You remember wrong, it was Shennong who tasted the herbs, not the medicine king. Pang Xie laughed.

"I only know one thing, but I don't know the other!" The young man waved his hand and said, "Shennong has tasted a hundred herbs, which is good, but that is a matter of ancient times, how many medicinal materials have been harvested later, the medicine prince does not taste the hundred herbs, rediscover new medicinal materials, what does he use to cure diseases?"

When Pang Xie heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"In order to taste medicine, the medicine prince went through three deaths and three lives, which was a big deal at that time!" the young man continued to explain when he saw that Pang Xie did not speak.

Pang Xie didn't care about talking to this person, hurriedly arched his hand, and strode towards Li Tianhua's house, he finally thought of a way to save his life!

......

After Pang Xie left, a white-haired old man walked out of it and said to the young man: "Young man, thank you, please help look after the stall." ”

"With a little effort, I don't have much to do. The young man said with a smile.

"Eh, thank you for that!" the old man was quite stubborn.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll go first, and we'll see you later. As he spoke, the young man walked away from the bookstall with a roasted sweet potato in his hand, eating as he went.

"See you later!"

Bite... Bite...

The young man walked forward not far, and the mobile phone suddenly rang, holding the sweet potato in one hand, taking out the mobile phone with the other, chewing the sweet potato in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Hey, yes, I'm Shao Huan, who is it?" Ao Lie? How do you know that I am in Chang'an? Something to discuss with me? Okay, let's meet and say..."
