Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 14 Brother Xiang
Cao Cao couldn't help but get closer.
I saw a thick layer of dead butterflies falling under the stone bed, and Cao Cao and the three of them saw it very clearly: it turned out that the butterflies fell to the ground and died after 'sucking' on the two of them. A group of butterflies dies, and another group of butterflies fills the 'sucking' position.
I don't know how long the cycle has been going on and on, so it's no wonder that there are thick piles of butterfly corpses.
Could it be that this 'nectar' is poisonous? Knowing that they are killing themselves, why do these butterflies continue to follow suit?
It's called Butterfly Valley, and butterflies should be everywhere, but batch after batch of butterflies repeat this action, but people can't understand it. 'Moths to fire' is well known, but is it the same for butterflies to do this?
Walking to him, Cao Cao saw clearly that there were really two people lying on the stone bed, but because there were too many butterflies, they couldn't see their faces clearly.
Brother Xiang looked at these butterflies and said to himself, "Well, it's almost." ”
Could it be that these butterflies are helping the two of them 'take drugs'? Cao Cao suddenly flashed this thought, and then thought, how is it possible, butterflies do not understand human nature.
Soon, Brother Xiang confirmed Cao Cao's hunch. He put the flute to his mouth and began to 'play', Cao Cao knew that his 'music' was extremely unpleasant, and wanted to plug his ears with his hands, but he was embarrassed.
But these butterflies seemed to 'appreciate' Brother Xiang's flute very much, and they left the bodies of the two on the stone bed one after another, and began to fly around Brother Xiang, looking very intoxicated.
The strange thing is that these butterflies are at least two feet away from Brother Xiang's body, and none of them dare to get close to his body.
Brother Xiang played while pacing towards the southeast corner, and at the same time, the butterflies were also 'taken' out. There seemed to be an exit in front, and Brother Xiang walked out slowly, and at the same time, the butterflies all 'followed' away, and soon disappeared.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong and then at Li Ru, and the two were also confused.
This man is a strange man, who can both 'manipulate' poisonous snakes and 'command' butterflies. Cao Cao wanted to follow, but was stopped by Su Huangying, he shook his head and motioned for everyone to wait here.
Su Huangying pointed to the side, and Cao Cao saw that there was a stone table and a few stone benches, so everyone helped Su Huangying to sit down.
There was not a single butterfly fluttering in the cave anymore, except for the dead layers on the ground, and none of the two lying butterflies could be seen.
Soon Brother Xiang came back, of course, there were no butterflies around him at this time, Cao Cao was very curious, since this place is called Butterfly Valley, there are naturally a lot of butterflies, but it is really eye-opening to 'listen' to people's commands so obediently.
I remember when I was a child, my companions tried their best to catch a beautiful butterfly, and when they finally caught it, the butterfly was often injured again and died not long after.
Thinking of the scene when he was a child, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of those old friends, in addition to Cao Ren and Cao Hong, he remembered that there were two little boys and a little girl in the neighborhood, and the little girl in his memory was the youngest, following the boys' butts all day long, often wrestling, and often crying nose. It's a pity that Cao Cao followed his father to the capital, and he never saw the neighbor again, and he never saw the three playmates again.
A wonderful childhood that everyone has had.
Occasionally, Cao Cao also thought of them (her), and now they are all adults, and I don't know if I can meet again in this life.
Brother Xiang opened the cloth bag, put two pieces of broken Ganoderma lucidum on the stone table, took out a small box from his arms, took out a row of thumb-length thin needles, inserted countless needle holes in each Ganoderma lucidum, opened a porcelain bottle, and poured some powdered medicine powder into those needle holes.
After everything was done, he divided the two pieces of Ganoderma lucidum into small pieces and put them into the mouths of the two of them, and then took out a small bottle from his arms and fed some yellow liquid into the mouths of the two of them.
Brother Xiang gently pressed the mouths of the two of them with both hands to prevent the juice from flowing out, and after a while, all the drugs in his mouth were 'swallowed' into his abdomen by the two of them.
After everything was done, Brother Xiang wiped the sweat beads on his face and came over to sit down gently. It didn't take much effort to do this, and was the sweat due to the nervousness of calculating the dosage of the medicine, or the excitement of being done?
Cao Cao's curious eyes all looked at this big brother Xiang, and this big brother Xiang's arms seemed to be a treasure bag, a small box and a small bottle. Who are the people lying on the stone bed? Gang Leader Su said that the two of them are also related to the Five Elements Sword, could it be that they have a secret about the Five Elements Sword hidden in them? Cao Cao wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.
Brother Xiang took out a small box from his arms again, took out a pink pill the size of an egg yolk, stuffed it into Su Huangying's mouth, and sighed: "For my brother, my medical skills are shallow, and this little bit of Taoism can't save Brother Su's life." In today's world, only Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, two miracle doctors, can rejuvenate with their hands, but unfortunately these two are thousands of miles away... ”
"Brother Xiang doesn't have to blame himself, I am a rough man, my parents died since I was a child, I can only grow up by eating a hundred family meals, and I can lead the 'Yellow River Gang' to do something for the suffering people on both sides of the Yellow River. ”
Su Huangying said these words in one breath, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, seeing that his spiritual qi was getting worse and worse.
Brother Xiang took out the second pill and wanted to give it to him, but Su Huangying shook his head, meaning that there was no need to waste any more precious medicinal materials.
Cao Cao's mood is also very heavy, Su Huangying and Peng Hexiong are both well-known men, righteous men who really do things for the people, and they are a hundred times stronger than Tang Zhenwei and Liu Changfeng's 'chivalrous heroes' who are openly and secretly. It's a pity that both of them have such a short life, which really fulfills the old saying, 'Good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years.'" “
Brother Xiang sat up straight, looked at Cao Cao, and asked, "Shaoxia is the descendant of the 'Qinghong Sword', how much do you know about the Five Elements Sword?"
Cao Cao saw that although this big brother Xiang was ugly and behaved strangely, he must not be a treacherous person to be able to associate with a man like the 'Yellow River Gang', so he did not hide it and told the past events of these days.
Brother Xiang listened, nodded incessantly, and when Cao Cao finished speaking, he continued to ask: "Since Shaoxia knows the Five Elements Sword, has he ever known the 'Overlord Sword'?"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Even my Cao family's 'Qinghong Sword' has not been found, and the other four swords don't know where to start, but I heard others say that the little junior sister's sword is the 'double-strand sword' in Qingfeng Village, and it is not clear whether it is true or not." “
"I heard the ghost shadow say that the 'double-strand sword' is in the hands of that little girl, as for whether it is true or not, we can only wait for the young man to verify it in the future. “
"Ghost shadow?" Cao Cao couldn't help but be surprised, it was a ghost shadow again, this person had appeared many times, what was his origin?
"Yes, it's the ghost shadow, and I don't know his true identity, but one thing is for sure, he is also looking for the heir of the Five Elements Sword. ”
Cao Cao's sixth sense told himself that this ghost shadow was definitely not a simple person, he must know more secrets, and if he was lucky enough to meet him in the future, he must ask him face to face.
Brother Xiang smiled: "Young man don't have to worry, I know what you're thinking." The other four swords will be slowly searched for by Shaoxia, and I will tell Shaoxia about the 'Overlord Sword' today. ”
This Brother Xiang is really amazing, he can guess Cao Cao's thoughts, since Brother Xiang is willing to tell him the secret of the 'Overlord Sword', he naturally can't ask for it. It's just the scar on his face, his terrifying smile, I really can't bear to look at it more.
Brother Xiang stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and said softly.
"Although I know whose hand the 'Overlord Sword' is, I will never see it again in this life! First, I have lost all my martial arts, and second, I have made a solemn oath not to touch this sword again. It's just that in order not to bring regret to the coffin, I just want to find the true heir of the 'Overlord Sword' as soon as possible and put this matter to a conclusion. “
"So over the years, I have been searching, just like a young man looking for a sword, the 'Overlord Sword' is my mission. The sky has eyes, and I finally found them, but unfortunately when I found them, they were already two dying people, they were injured internally, and they were poisoned, and they were already dying. “
Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately understood, what Brother Xiang was talking about was the two people lying on the stone bed in front of him, so they were really the heirs of the 'Overlord Sword', Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but turn to the stone bed, the two were still lying still, and it was not clear whether they were dead or alive.
Brother Xiang is really a smart person, Cao Cao's action, he immediately understood Cao Cao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Shaoxia must want to know how I found these two people, and how can I be sure that they are the heirs of the 'Overlord Sword'?"
Cao Cao's face turned red, and he was guessed by others, but he couldn't help but be suspicious, because the Sword of the Son of Heaven was related to the fortune of the Han Dynasty, and if you want to open the Calvary, you must first find the Five Elements Sword, so you must be careful and careful.
"I'm ashamed to say that I have been looking for so many years in vain, but in the end someone else found it first. A month ago, the ghost shadow suddenly came to the Butterfly Valley, saying that he had found the heir of the 'Overlord Sword', and when I and the two brothers Su and Peng rushed to the Songshan Fawang Temple with the ghost shadow, they saw these two motionless, half-dead people. I had my doubts at the time, but the ghost shadow was sure that they were the heirs of the Overlord Sword. “
Cao Cao was speechless and couldn't ask any more questions, and it was the ghost shadow who said it! This answer is equal to no! His doubts not only did not decrease, but on the contrary added new doubts, why did everything have the shadow of a ghost? Is he a human being or a ghost?
When he heard about the Songshan Fawang Temple, Cao Cao felt a thrill in his heart, this name is so familiar, who has heard of it?
That's right, it's the temple where the nephew and grandson of the old man who accompanied him all the way out of the house, which is really a coincidence.
At the same time, a strange thought arose in Cao Cao's mind: The heir of the 'Overlord Sword' wouldn't be the monk of Fawang Temple, right?
Thinking of this, even Cao Cao felt that his thoughts were ridiculous, and Brother Xiang was clearly talking about it, and he just listened to it, but he was still thinking nonsense.
Seeing that Cao Cao was distracted, Li Ru looked at and tugged at the corner of Cao Cao's clothes, Cao Cao understood, and apologized for smiling at Brother Xiang.
Brother Xiang didn't pay much attention to it, and continued: "Fortunately, I learned a little about medical skills, and when I returned to Butterfly Valley, I immediately gave the two of them a full examination, only to find that they were not only highly poisoned, but also suffered extremely serious internal injuries. The poison is easy to do, there is my homemade medicine, with 'butterfly therapy', over time, it should not be difficult to resolve, you have also seen the scene just now, this treatment is the last day, and the poison in their bodies has been completely discharged at this moment. “
Hearing the last sentence, Su Huangying's originally godless eyes showed a trace of joy.
Cao Cao and the three of them also suddenly realized at the same time that the butterflies were helping those two detoxify by doing this!
This Brother Xiang's medical skills are really ingenious, this kind of 'butterfly therapy', Cao Cao and others are simply unheard of!
