Chapter 86: Trying the Herbs
Standing in place and silent for a moment, Mo Xishi gritted her teeth and walked towards the middle of the flower garden, directly to the side of the first spirit grass.
She bent down to take a closer look, and saw that this spirit grass was red all over, and the fist-sized petals were stacked on top of each other, looking extremely beautiful.
However, Mo Xishi's eyes were extremely cautious when she looked at this spiritual grass, and she recognized this spiritual grass called Xuanfu Flower at first sight. Produced on the shores of the East China Sea, this spirit grass is named for its shape, and the juice of its petals contains great poison. She took out a wooden box from the storage bag, and then took out a small jade shovel, and then steadily shoveled down the swirling compound flower and placed it in the wooden box.
Slightly relieved, Mo Xishi stood up, the task of the secret path does not seem to be so difficult to complete, although there are a lot of spiritual grasses in this flower garden, but as the head of the Tibetan Flower Building, she has been immersed in refining medicine for hundreds of years, and has rich experience and methods for the identification of spiritual grass.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, her steps were much lighter, and from time to time she bent down in the flower garden to observe, closed her eyes and pondered, and then shoveled up the spirit grass one by one and put it into the wooden box in her hand.
In this way, four days passed, and Mo Xishi's face gradually became haggard, and her steps became slower and slower. In the past few days, from the ease at the beginning, to the hesitation later, and then to the current difficulty, in just a few days, she seems to have experienced hundreds of years.
The spirit grass in the flower garden became more and more rare, and many of them she had never seen before, or even heard of them. This process of identifying the spirit grass has been enjoyed from the beginning to the later suffering. And now every step she takes forward is a heavy blow to her confidence.
In this way, another two days passed, and there was only one day and one night before the end of the test, and there were still half of the spirit grass in front of Mo Xishi who had not had time to identify, and she didn't know most of them at all, so she didn't know anything about it.
Looking at the mountain-like spirit grass in the box, Mo Xishi shook her head, a touch of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and muttered: "The time is coming, and there are still half of the poisonous weeds that have not been found." Could it be that I really can't accept the inheritance of Moxi Poems? Could it be that my Tibetan Flower Building is destined to not be able to break that curse? Am I really not the material for refining medicine?"
A question pressed on Mo Xishi's heart, her eyes gradually blurred, and her mood was extremely depressed, and she even thought of giving up......
"Come on, you must succeed!"
"Don't worry, you too, let's see you outside the tower!"
Just when she was about to collapse to the ground, Ning Zhe's voice suddenly sounded in her mind. The scene before entering the Tower of the Dead resurfaced in her mind.
Ning Zhe's encouragement, the smiles of the two, the hardships along the way, and the penance of all the disciples in the Tibetan Flower Building......
This familiar scene appeared in her mind, but her blurred eyes gradually became clear, and a voice kept shouting in her heart: "Mo Xishi, you can't give up, you can't give up like this, you can't give up so easily." There are many people behind you, they are all waiting for you, they are all looking forward to you! You have to cheer up!"
Thinking of this, Mo Xishi actually stood up suddenly, her haggard face flushed with a hint of ruddy, and her tired eyes gradually had a trace of essence.
After pondering in place for a long time, she patted the storage bag, and a purple elixir flew out of the middle and floated in front of her.
Looking at this elixir, Mo Xishi's teeth clenched, the light in her eyes flickered, and she finally opened her mouth and swallowed the elixir.
The moment the pill was entered, a scorching breath escaped to her limbs, and the meridians in her body had become extremely hot under the effect of this breath, and her face gradually became flushed, and her originally blurred gaze sharpened in an instant, Mo Xishi's whole person seemed to be on fire in this short period of time, and even the tips of her originally flat black hair were already a little dry and curly.
She looked at the spirit grass in front of her and muttered, "The medicinal power of this Lihuo Pill is really extraordinary, and there is not much time left for me. ”
As she spoke, she moved and rushed towards the flowerbed.
If Ning Zhe was beside him at this time, he would definitely scold Mo Xishi for being stupid, and then do everything he could to stop her from swallowing that pill.
Because the entire Dan Kingdom knows the domineering of the Lihuo Dan. Strictly speaking, this Elixir is a kind of elixir against poison, but from ancient times to the present, all monks have admitted that this elixir is indeed a poison.
This sounds awkward and contradictory, but only those who know its effects can truly understand that its only effect is to strip the fire element from heaven and earth and inject it into the body of the monk, so that the fire element in the body of the monk who swallows the fire pill will expand to the extreme, so as to delay the spread of the original poison in his body.
But this method is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst, because maybe you may be burned alive by this fire pill before the original toxicity in your body is unraveled.
But at this time, Mo Xishi only had one day to go, and if he wanted to identify all the remaining spirit grasses at the previous speed, it would be almost impossible. That's why she made this decision. After swallowing the Flame Separation Pill, any poison she swallowed would be delayed for more than six hours before exploding. In other words, in these six hours, she can rely on her body's reaction to the spirit grass without fear to judge whether the spirit grass is poisonous or not.
But after six hours, it is not known whether she will die from all kinds of poisonous hair. However, Mo Xishi didn't think about this at all, and she didn't have time to think about it, and now there is only one belief in her heart, that is: complete the challenge!
I saw that after she flew into the flower garden again, with a wave of her big sleeves, she directly rolled up all the spirit grass within a few zhang in front of her, and then flicked the fingers of her left hand, and countless green rays shot out, and each spirit grass was cut off by her, rolled directly into her mouth, and chewed it in a big gulp.
After a moment's effort, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, which was not caused by poisoning, but the sharp edges of some spirit grass directly cut her mouth and tongue, you must know that no matter how high the cultivator is, his tongue is no different from that of a mortal.
Letting the blood flow freely from the corners of her mouth, Mo Xishi's eyes were full of joy, she quickly picked up a few spirit grasses and put them in the wooden box, and threw the others on the ground, and then continued to run forward.
I have to admit that although her method seems stupid, it is extremely effective, and in just one stick of incense, there are more than a dozen kinds of poisonous weeds in her box. It's just that at this time, all of her from the corners of her mouth down was stained red with blood, which looked extremely terrifying, and the clothes on her chest were stained with blood and the residue of spirit grass. If Ning Zhe was here, he would never have imagined that in the past, the ice clear and jade Mo Xi Shimo Great Palm Sect would have such an embarrassing time.
But at the same time, Ning Zhe will also sigh that it is definitely not a fluke that Mo Xishi has been able to take charge of Zanghualou for so long. Although she is a woman, the ruthlessness in her heart and the spirit of not giving up until she reaches her goal are beyond the reach of most men in this world.
Time flies very quickly, as the number of poisonous weeds in Mo Xishi's wooden box increases dramatically, four hours have passed, and there are still two hours left, and the medicinal effect of the fire pill in her body will dissipate, and at that time, all the poisonous weeds she swallowed will attack together, and what awaits her will inevitably be the result of death.
At this time, Mo Xishi's face was haggard to the extreme, and the hairpin with coiled hair was thrown somewhere, and the blood in her mouth was still flowing outward. Looking at the last spirit grass in the flower garden, Mo Xishi was silent for a moment, gritted her teeth, and directly rolled up all the remaining spirit grass and threw it into her mouth.
The green light rises, the spirit grass is divided, the green light falls, and the wooden box is full. This series of actions has been completed in just a few breaths. Her countenance finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips, but this smile seemed so terrifying and desolate in the light of blood.
Her feet kicked hard, and she threw herself straight into the gazebo at the end of the flower garden. In the middle of the pavilion, a half-person-high white marble pedestal quietly visited there, and Mo Xishi poured all the spiritual grass in the wooden box on the stone pedestal, and then the whole person collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. (http://.)。
Suddenly, the sound of her breathing stopped, and she saw that the originally plain white marble stone seat in front of her actually exuded a faint white glow, and then continued to rotate, and the spirit grass she poured into it also rose into the air with the rotation of this stone seat.
Click!
The stone seat collapsed, and a white medicine tripod emerged from the middle of the stone seat, and countless white flames rushed out from the medicine tripod, directly rolling all the spirit grass in the air into the medicine tripod.
At this moment, the tactful voice sounded again: "This medicine tripod is called the medicine god tripod, it is a treasure that the deity has carried with him for tens of thousands of years, and these poisonous herbs you bring will be refined into a pill in a while." If you have collected enough of a hundred poisonous herbs, then this elixir will gather the toxicity of a hundred herbs and become a poison-avoiding pill, after you swallow it, you will be able to prevent all poisons and herbs, and then you can accept my inheritance!"
Hearing this, Mo Xishi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth murmured: "Success, success!"
Then, that tactful voice suddenly became cold: "If you dare to take other spirit grasses to confuse the pearls, or dare not swallow the spirit pill after refining, then what awaits you will be the punishment of ten thousand poisonous phagogens." Those who refine the pill first refine their hearts, and the way to refine their hearts lies in their compassion for the common people in the world. In ancient times, there were great sages, who did not hesitate to try the herbs, and wrote nine articles of the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", if you can survive, then this "Hundred Herbs Sutra" and the medicine god tripod are my gifts to you......"
At the end, there was already a faint sadness and sadness in the voice, and when Mo Xishi heard the end, he couldn't help but be solemn in his heart, stood up and bowed respectfully to the medicine god......
