CHAPTER XVIII

After speaking, Qingyunzi handed the porcelain vase in his hand to Ye Xiaoer, "Now you smell the smell of this 'Yan Beihong' again." ”

Taking the porcelain vase, Ye Xiaoer sniffed it carefully, and a very faint aroma wafted into Ye Xiaoer's nose.

"How can this thing taste salty but smell fragrant?" Ye Xiaoer said in surprise.

"It seems that your kid's 'smell' and 'taste' are also much stronger than ordinary people. Qingyunzi nodded and said, "The fragrance of this goose is extremely light, and it is difficult for ordinary people to smell it." ”

"By the way, how do you eliminate the toxicity of these poisons?" Ye Xiaoer asked.

Qing Yunzi touched his beard and said recallingly: "The recipes for these non-toxic 'poisons' were invented by that bastard senior brother of Lao Dao. ”

"It's your bastard brother again?" Ye Xiaoer said curiously.

Qingyunzi said, "Except for martial arts, that guy's talent in other aspects is really jealous. ”

"Formation, alchemy, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... That guy can be considered a genius in all these aspects. ”

"These non-toxic 'poisons' are the products of his alchemy. After that, this guy concentrated on the pharmacology of poisons and drugs, and spent several years studying all the pharmacology of most poisons and drugs, so he worked out how to eliminate the toxicity of poisons but retain their taste. ”

Ye Xiaoer was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he said in surprise, "Old liar, your senior brother...... Really a genius. ”

Qingyunzi rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, don't look at whose senior brother it is." ”

The corners of Ye Xiaoer's mouth twitched slightly, and then he opened the second bottle from the left to his own heart.

The unusual sense of 'smell' made him clearly smell a disgusting fishy smell.

He pinched his nose and frowned and asked, "What's in here, this smell is disgusting." ”

Qingyunzi said, "That's the 'Drunken Immortal Rainbow', it is extremely poisonous, and it only takes a little to make you die several times." ”

Ye Xiaoer pinched his nose and said depressedly: "The five senses are too strong, and it's not very good." It tastes so ......."

Qingyunzi smiled, "Generally speaking, the more poisonous the poison, the more fishy and spicy it tastes. ”

Ye Xiaoer asked, "Isn't there that colorless and odorless poison?"

Qing Yunzi said, "How could there be such a thing." You have to remember that all poisons have a color and a taste. Know the poisonous mushroom, the more poisonous the mushroom, the more vivid its color. The same is true of this poison. ”

Ye Xiaoer nodded thoughtfully.

Qingyunzi continued: "In the same way, because the smell of poison is too obvious, people who poison them often put them in dishes with a stronger taste, or in decoctions. ”

Ye Xiaoer said: "I understand this, for example, if you put poison in the green vegetable soup, it will make people taste it as soon as they taste it." ”

Qing Yunzi nodded, and then he pointed to the bottle containing the "Drunken Immortal Rainbow" and said, "Now you kid can taste the taste of this 'Drunken Immortal Rainbow'." ”

Ye Xiaoer put on a bitter gourd face, and reluctantly poured out a little black powder from the bottle.

Pinching his nose, Ye Xiaoer closed his eyes and swallowed the "Drunken Fairy Rainbow".

At the entrance of the poison, Ye Xiaoer's first feeling was - spicy.

Different from the spicy seasoning, the spicy of "Drunken Fairy Rainbow" is fishy. Spicy with a disgusting stench.

Ye Xiaoer opened his mouth and breathed heavily, unable to dissipate the fishy and spicy taste in his mouth.

Qingyunzi asked with a smile: "How is it, stinky boy, this 'Drunken Fairy Rainbow' tastes good." ”

Ye Xiaoer rolled his eyes and spat on the ground, and the fishy feeling in his mouth had faded a lot.

"I said old liar, how can the cultivation of these two senses be completed?" Ye Xiaoer asked.

Qingyunzi said: "When you can be blindfolded, just by smelling and tasting these medicines, you can distinguish these medicines well." ”

As she spoke, Mingyue picked up a bunch of bottles and put them on the ground.

The corners of Ye Xiaoer's mouth twitched and asked, "Why is there still ......?"

Qingyunzi smiled, "These are only one-twelfth of all, and your kid still has a long way to go." ”

Ye Xiaoer sighed weakly and opened the third bottle by himself.

"Huh?" Ye Xiaoer sighed lightly, the bottle opened and there was no fishy smell as he imagined, or the medicine in this bottle even had a hint of fragrance.

"These medicines are not only poisons, but also many of them are healing herbs. Qingyunzi said.

"Now this bottle contains a hemostatic herb. ”

Ye Xiaoer also saw the three words written in cinnabar on the bottle at this time.

"Blood Clotting Grass?" Ye Xiaoer read.

Qingyunzi took out a book from his arms and handed it to Ye Xiaoer, "This 'Hundred Herbs' records a lot of useful herbs, you can take a look at it when you have nothing to do." ”

Ye Xiaoer took Baicaoji and put it in his arms, he poured out some red paste-like medicine from the bottle and swallowed it in his mouth.

The entrance of the ointment had a strong bitter taste, and Ye Xiaoer's brows furrowed. But compared to the previous Drunken Immortal Rainbow, the taste of this blood condensation grass is still acceptable.

Seeing this, Qingyunzi coughed lightly, "Actually...... You don't need to eat this blood-clotting herb......"

When Ye Xiaoer heard this, he almost broke the bottle in his hand. He glared and said, "What do you mean, old liar?"

Qingyunzi said: "This blood coagulation grass is applied externally to the wound to take effect, besides, this is not a poison, you just need to be able to smell it." ”

Ye Xiaoer said, "You can't say it earlier!" The bitter taste of the blood clotting grass spread wantonly in his mouth, and it was very uncomfortable.

Qingyunzi said innocently: "It's you, kid, you didn't ask me if I was okay." ”

Ye Xiaoer opened his mouth, and finally didn't know what to say.

He relieved the discomfort in his mouth, and after a short rest, opened the fourth bottle. However, when Ye Xiaoer opened the fourth bottle, he seemed to think of something and slowed down his movements.

Qingyunzi asked, "Stinky boy, what are you thinking?"

Ye Xiaoer said, "If I remember correctly, won't the silver needle turn black when it is poisoned." I'm still here to taste some poison, so why don't I just bring a silver needle with me in the future? ”

Qing Yunzi almost laughed out loud when he heard it, and he laughed, "How did you kid know about the silver needle drug test." ”

Ye Xiaoer said: "When I was a child, I listened to the storyteller in the village. ”

Qing Yunzi smiled and shook his head, "Since you asked so, then follow the old way." Let's see if the silver needle drug test you mentioned is useful. After speaking, Qingyunzi turned around and left.

Ye Xiaoer followed all the way, and the two came to Qingyunzi's room.

Pushing open the wooden door, Qingyunzi walked into the house. He pointed to the bookshelf on the side and said, "There's a pack of silver needles on it, you go get it, I'll go to the alchemy room to find some poison." After speaking, Qingyunzi walked out of the house.

Ye Xiaoer took the silver needle and sat cross-legged on the futon and waited.

A moment later, Qing Yunzi walked in with two porcelain vases.

Placing the porcelain vase on the ground, Qingyunzi sat opposite Ye Xiaoer. He pointed to the bottle between the two and said, "Now you kid try it with a silver needle." ”

Ye Xiaoer took out a silver needle from the needle bag and poked into the bottle on the left.

After a slight pause, Ye Xiaoer picked up the silver needle. I saw that the end of the silver needle into the bottle had turned black.

Ye Xiaoer said, "How about it, I'll just say that the silver needle can be used to test for poison." ”

Qing Yunzi pointed to the bottle on the right and said, "Don't rush to a conclusion, let's try this one on the right." ”

Ye Xiaoer took out a silver needle from the needle bag again and probed it into the bottle on the right.

However, this time when Ye Xiaoer picked up the silver needle, the silver needle did not turn black.

Ye Xiaoer asked with some surprise, "What's going on?"

At this time, Qingyunzi said leisurely, "The so-called silver needle poison test is just arsenic. In fact, silver needles have no effect on poison other than arsenic testing. ”

Ye Xiaoer looked at the two silver needles and didn't know what to say.

Qingyunzi said: "The rivers and lakes are full of strange poisons, and some of them will turn into a handful of loess even if they are not careful. ”

"You kid still have a long way to go. ”

Ye Xiaoer nodded, "Got it......"

Qingyunzi stood up from the futon and said, "Let's go, go and continue to taste those poisons." ”

Ye Xiaoer cried with a face and stood up with Qingyunzi.

Qing Yunzi looked at Ye Xiaoer's expression and felt a little funny: "You kid, do you put on such an expression." ”

Ye Xiaoer said angrily, "The taste of those things is really ......", Ye Xiaoer didn't know what words to use to describe it.

Qingyunzi patted him on the shoulder and said, "In the future, you will have to taste it every two days, and you will get used to it." ”

Ye Xiaoer said, "I don't think I'm going to get used to it......"
