Chapter 15: The Long Night (2)
"Why is this happening? No matter how big the mountains and forests are, as long as you keep going, there will always be an end?" In Xiao Jian's opinion, as long as you are well prepared, no matter how deep the mountains are and how dense the forests are, you can always get out.
"I don't know why, it's not like no one has tried before, but no one has succeeded. They either went crazy inexplicably in the mountains and forests, or they fell ill and died inexplicably, in short, none of those who wanted to get out of the mountains could die well. Then, slowly, basically no one tried it anymore. Amu explained.
"It's really weird. Amu, according to you, I was the first outsider to come to you?"
"yes, your presence is so strange. Your presence has upset many in the tribe, for the difference between how you look and what you dress is so obvious from our people. When many people in the tribe are against my Abba's healing of your wounds, especially the deputy chief of the tribe, Dan Iwan, he even tried his best to persuade the old chief to put you to death. Fortunately, you were saved by my Abba, who is the best medicine pill master in the tribe, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. But in the end, it was proposed that my father refine two hundred Replenishing Yuan Pills for the tribe in exchange for keeping you to heal. It is also because of this that my father and grandmother went into the mountains to collect medicine, and it should be a few days before they come back. When Amu said this, he sighed slightly, and then continued, "Brother Xiao, you don't have to worry too much about my Abba and Aunt, both of them are very good at kung fu, and this time they went into the mountain just to collect medicine, so there shouldn't be any danger." ”
"I hope the two of them can come back safely soon, if they are in any danger, then I am so sorry for you. By the way, Amu, what kind of thing did you mention about the Replenishing Yuan Pill just now?" Hearing Amu talk about the Replenishing Yuan Pill, Xiao Jian couldn't help but think of the online novels he often read when he was in school in Huaxia. In those novels, there have been pills like the Yuan Pill more than once, saying that they can replenish the Yuan Power consumed by people or something, and when I saw these descriptions, I just laughed and never took them seriously. I didn't expect that now I would hear Amu personally mention the Supplement Yuan Dan here, could it be that the things described in those novels are true?
"Buyuan Pill is a kind of elixir. You know, the battle between a warrior and a warrior relies on martial arts and Yuan Li the most. When a person's Yuan Power is consumed to a certain extent, if it cannot be replenished in time, it will not only affect his combat effectiveness, but also may hurt his martial arts foundation, and it will be difficult to advance from now on. In order to let Xiao Jian know more about the Replenishing Yuan Pill, Amu took out a small jade bottle from the pocket of his body, then opened the cap of the bottle, poured out a dark red pill the size of a broad bean from it and handed it to Xiao Jian, "This is the Replenishing Yuan Pill, but it is only a first-order one." Brother Xiao, have you practiced martial arts before? If you have practiced before, then you might as well take one and try it, maybe it will be effective for you. ”
"Is it true? I can also take it? This pill is very precious, right?" Xiao Jian pinched the pill with two fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, and suddenly felt a refreshing light medicinal fragrance, and as his breath penetrated into his nostrils, he suddenly felt refreshed.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. If you haven't practiced martial arts before, then this pill just won't work on you, and it won't have any side effects. If you have practiced martial arts before, then after you take it, self-pranayama for a while, you will be able to find the effect of this elixir. Seeing that Xiao Jian was a little uneasy, Amu encouraged.
"Well, okay, I'll give it a try. Xiao Jian didn't suspect that there would be something wrong with this pill, but he felt that this pill was too precious, and he was a little embarrassed to accept it, and when he saw that Amu said this, he no longer hesitated, put the pill in his mouth, swallowed it as soon as he tilted his head, and then sat cross-legged on the chair and began to close his breath. Xiao Jian was originally from a martial arts family, and he began to practice martial arts at a very young age, and he was no stranger to the method of pranayama.
After a while, Xiao Jian noticed that a subtle stream of heat slowly rose from the dantian, like a trickle, accumulating more and more. "Thinking that this is the Yuan Power contained in the elixir", Xiao Jian thought to himself, so he hurriedly guarded his mind and used his mind to guide this hot flow to run in the meridians of his whole body.
After the internal force had been running throughout his body for two weeks, Xiao Jian slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and said with emotion: "This is really a miracle medicine, after taking it, not only does it make people feel a hundred times more energetic and tired, but I also feel that there are a few places where the meridians have been blocked before, and there seems to be a lot of loosening! Amu, is there any more pill left? Give me a few more, maybe I can wash away those loose places at one time!"
"Brother Xiao, do you think this elixir is candy. Seeing that Xiao Jian still wanted to take the Replenishing Yuan Pill again, and he still wanted to eat a few at a time, he immediately felt speechless, "You can't eat more of this Replenishing Yuan Pill, especially for people whose martial arts foundation is not too good or who have been seriously injured, you can't take too much, if you take too much at one time, it will not only be useless, but harmful." For people like you who have just been seriously injured and the wound has not completely healed, after taking it, because the blood circulation is too fast, it is likely to burst the blood vessels and cause heavy bleeding. If that's the case, it's troublesome. In your case, it will take at least four or five days before you can take the second pill. ”
"Hehe, I'm in too much of a hurry. Xiao Jian smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "I heard you say just now, the Replenishing Yuan Pill you gave me is a first-order, is this Replenishing Yuan Pill still divided into several levels?"
"Yes, listen to my father, this Supplement Yuan Dan is divided into levels, starting from the first order to the ninth order, as for whether there is a super grade, even he has not heard of it. In fact, not only the replenishing Yuan Pill, but most of the pills in this world can be divided into grades, and the higher the level of the pills, the more difficult the refining technique. My Abba said that he had seen a fifth-order elixir. Although my Abba is the best elixir master in the tribe, he can only practice some third-order elixirs now. In fact, if it were possible, I would really like to go outside the mountain, because only by going out of this mountain and going to the outside world can I see more things and achieve higher things. Although I am still only a first-order pill pharmacist, it won't be long before I am about to advance to a second-order pill pharmacist. However, this is not my ultimate goal, my ideal is that one day I will also be able to refine the legendary super elixir of the prosperous era of the Nine Streets. As soon as he talked about his ideals, Amu suddenly became radiant, and his eyes flashed with the divine light of infinite yearning for the future. Suddenly, Amu seemed to think of something happy, and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, Brother Xiao, do you know, Dan Ivan's guy thought that the best Replenishing Yuan Pill was just a third-order pill, but in fact, he didn't know at all that there were fourth-order, fifth-order, or even ninth-order supplemental pills." He was also a second-order pill pharmacist, so he didn't know that there was a higher level of the Replenishing Yuan Pill. With his knowledge, he still thinks about going against my Abba all the time, which really makes me laugh to death. Hahahaha......"
"This is the height of vision determines the height of thinking, some people always think that they are great, their eyes are above the top, and they think that people are inferior to themselves. In fact, he didn't know that he himself was the frog at the bottom of the well, the most ridiculous person in the world. Amu, I don't know if you have heard of a saying: 'Humility makes people progress, pride makes people backward'. Any knowledge has its value and its uniqueness. "Everything in the world is knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article". At all times, we must remain humble and eager to learn, so that we can get help from more people and achieve more. As you just said, you want to go outside the mountain and become the best pill medicine master in the world. It's a good idea, and I think that if we work hard, we will be able to find a way out. ”
"Well, Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will. By the way, Brother Xiao, I see that the clothes you are wearing are completely different from those we have here, can you tell me where you are from?"
"I, I'm from a far, far away place, that place is called Huaxia, I'm a soldier there, I was injured in the line of duty, I don't know why, I suddenly came to you. Speaking of this, Xiao Jian paused, and his face became serious, "Amu, you can't tell others about my origin, because I don't know how I got here, and I can't tell you clearly when others ask, maybe it will cause you trouble, but don't worry, I don't have any ill will towards you." I don't know if I'll be able to go back, but for now, your family should be my only friends in this world. I don't want to get you guys in trouble because of my abilities, can you understand?"
"Well, Brother Xiao, I swear, I will never tell anyone about you. Seeing Xiao Jian's expression so serious, Amu also put away the laughing expression just now and solemnly promised. What Brother Xiao said just now should be his biggest secret, since Brother Xiao believes in himself so much and tells himself all the most confidential things, how can he be sorry for Brother Xiao's entrustment.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Jian told Amu not to tell his origin was not because he was afraid of anything, but because he didn't want to bring more trouble to himself. None of the people here have ever been out of the mountains, so naturally they don't know what kind of place Huaxia is, and they can prevaricate by making up any excuses. But why I am here, it is really a bit troublesome to explain. However, if someone asked, they would say that they had been injured when they went into the mountains to hunt, and that they had lost their way while fleeing for their lives, and that they had come here while walking. As for whether you can deceive others, that will only happen then. Anyway, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and even such a ridiculous thing as crossing has happened to him, can't he even make up a small excuse to prove that he can't do anything? That is really underestimating himself, as a special soldier, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, will he still capsize in the gutter because of such a small thing?
