Chapter 7: Wood Butterflies
The wood butterfly is one of the few herbs in the Yunyang Continent that can enhance divine consciousness but no one cares about it, and the reason has to start from ancient times.
In ancient times, there was an abundance of spiritual energy, and various herbs grew luxuriantly, but elixirs that could enhance divine consciousness were still in short supply. At this moment, a casual cultivator spotted a wooden butterfly.
The wood butterfly resembles a butterfly, has a beautiful appearance, and exudes a seductive fragrance, and at first people did not understand its effect, and it was considered a poison based on its appearance.
It wasn't until a casual cultivator accidentally ate it that he found that the wood butterfly was not only delicious, but also made his divine sense increase a lot!
This made him overjoyed, and he wanted to keep the secret to himself. Although the wood butterfly is everywhere, only he knows its powerful effect, and he doesn't even need to refine it into an elixir, he has such a medicinal effect. If it's just for himself, then he will soon be able to catch up with others.
In order to keep it a secret, each practice is carried out secretly. Sure enough, after practicing for a period of time, his divine sense increased greatly, and in a fight, he unexpectedly used his divine sense to defeat another loose cultivator who had suppressed him for a long time.
This attracted the attention of people with a heart, how could a person who had always been a low cultivator suddenly have a surge in his divine sense? Can he defeat someone so much stronger than him? People suddenly thought of a panacea, so under the guidance of people with a heart, the use of the wood butterfly was finally known to the world.
The Yunyang Continent was boiling all of a sudden, and everyone was crazy about adopting the Wood Butterfly, and even the Great Clan Sect couldn't sit still and joined the ranks of using the Wood Butterfly.
For a time, the value of wood butterflies skyrocketed, and the wooden butterflies, which were originally as many as rice, became extremely rare in just a few years.
But gradually, some people discovered the side effects of using the Wood Butterfly: although the divine sense was enhanced, the willpower was extremely weak!
Many geniuses were destroyed by the wooden butterfly, which corroded the monk's will, making the monk unable to keep his mind and keep the spiritual platform clear, and it was difficult to prove the Great Dao for the rest of his life, and many great powers fell because of the wooden butterfly. The entire Yunyang Continent was wailing all over the field for a while, and suffered heavy losses.
Just when people wanted to save it, they found that they couldn't leave the wood butterfly! If they didn't take it for a day, they felt uncomfortable, as if there were countless ants gnawing on it, and they couldn't even concentrate on cultivating.
At this point, it took tens of thousands of years of recuperation before the cultivation realm recovered, but the once great forces lost their power, declined, and were overtaken by other forces, and could no longer recover their previous glory.
This incident was recorded in the history books, and the history is known as the Wood Butterfly Rebellion. Since then, all monks have known about the dangers of wood butterflies, and even to the point of talking about the discoloration of wood butterflies.
Now what does Lin Zhenzhen do when she mentions the wooden butterfly? Doesn't she know that the wooden butterfly is terrible?
Lin Zhenzhen saw that Lin Zhenxi's face was wrong, "snorted", and said, "What kind of expression do you have?" I will tell you that of course I have a solution!"
"What method?" Lin Zhenxi asked curiously.
If you can really solve the harm of the wood butterfly, you can start refining the gods, and you don't have to worry about the lack of materials, there are a lot of them in the mountains behind the Lin family, and the year is not low.
Lin Zhenzhen looked around and beckoned to Lin Zhenxi, who stretched out his ears cooperatively.
"It's just my conjecture, grandpa kept saying it was too risky to let me do it, and now I'm telling you, we do it secretly, you don't tell anyone. Lin Zhenzhen whispered in her ear.
Lin Zhenxi hesitated in her heart, should she trust the other party? Although she would later be taken by Dan Sheng as a disciple, now she is only a five-year-old child! If something goes wrong, she will not be able to practice in this life.
Then she thought about it, her husband didn't eat five tripods in life, and he cooked five tripods when he died. It's rare to be reborn in a lifetime, if you still hesitate and achieve nothing, it's better to fight.
"And what's your approach?"
Lin Zhenzhen smiled mysteriously and said, "I think the key to solving the problem lies in the roots of the wood butterfly." ”
"Roots?" Lin Zhenxi was puzzled.
"Yes, I have carefully observed the structure of the wood butterfly, and its flowers, leaves, and stems are very fragrant and mouthful, but the roots are dry and bitter. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so I guess its roots can detoxify it. ”
"It's that simple, how could people not have found out before?" asked Lin Zhenxi.
"At that time, how many people fell because of the wooden butterfly, and those who had eaten it wished that they had never eaten it, and even more so if they had not eaten it, they were all glad that their strength was low, and they couldn't rob the high-level monks, and they didn't take the wooden butterfly, who would dare to get close to it or even do experiments! Later generations were also warned not to get close to the wooden butterfly since childhood, and of course no one discovered this secret. Lin Zhenzhen's face was full of pride.
Lin Zhenxi's heart turned back and forth, why does this method sound unreliable, but there is a certain amount of truth when you think about it carefully. Just as there are herbs that can detoxify in the vicinity of poisonous snakes, maybe the root of the wood butterfly is the antidote.
"Can you guarantee it?" asked Lin Zhenxi uncertainly.
"If only you can bring some wood butterflies back, I'll find out if I quizzes. ”
"Great, it's not easy to get wood butterflies, aren't there a lot of them in the back mountains?" Lin Zhenxi said.
Lin Zhenzhen said distressedly: "It's easy for you to say, but grandpa didn't let me touch the wooden butterfly at all, and the people around me were banned from giving me the wooden butterfly, how can I pick it myself?"
"Then I'll pick it!" Lin Zhenxi said, "My father and mother don't take strict care of me, and I will secretly go to the back mountain to pick it at night." ”
"Great!" Lin Zhen was overjoyed, "Then we'll see you tomorrow night after you pick it, I'll go look for you, and you have to clear the maids first." ”
After agreeing, both of them left satisfied.
After Lin Zhenxi returned to the house, he took care of himself and went to visit Mrs. Lin.
When Mrs. Lin saw her, she asked with concern, "Xi'er, how was your training today?"
Lin Zhenxi saw that Mrs. Lin cared so much about herself, her heart warmed, and she said with a smile: "Mother, I'm not tired, today I learned "Savage Fist"!"
"Oh?" Mrs. Lin thought that she would open her eyes at most, but she didn't expect to make such rapid progress.
Lin Zhenxi then handed the prescription to Mrs. Lin and said, "This is given to me by Lin Shen, and he said that this is the medicinal soup that I have to bathe every night." ”
Mrs. Lin took the prescription and saw that there were traces of alteration on it, and asked, "Why are there traces of alteration?"
Lin Zhenxi replied truthfully: "I was really told that changing a medicinal herb can give greater play to the medicinal properties." ”
Mrs. Lin said: "That's right, but I think Lin Shen deliberately replaced Banxia." ”
"Why?" "Why should there be a better one?" Lin Zhenxi was puzzled.
"You're too young now, and if the medicine is too big, the more pain you'll have to bear. Changing to herbs, although the effect is weakened, the pain is also reduced, and it is more suitable for you. Mrs. Lin patiently answered.
"Mother, use it better, I can bear the pain. Lin Zhenxi begged.
Mrs. Lin disagreed, she said solemnly: "No, you are too young." ”
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Lin Zhengde walked in and answered.
"Sir. Mrs. Lin saluted.
"Daddy. Lin Zhenxi rushed up, hugged Lin Zhengde's arm, and said coquettishly, "Dad, help me." ”
Mrs. Lin explained in a timely manner.
"Just do what Xi'er wants. Lin Zhengde made a decision.
"Master!" Mrs. Lin was dissatisfied.
"Haha. Lin Zhengde laughed and said, "Madam, don't underestimate Xi'er, Lin Shen came to me to report and said that Xi'er broke the limit today." ”
"Really?" Mrs. Lin also smiled, "I didn't expect Xi'er to have such perseverance, so it's not impossible to give it a try." ”
Lin Zhenxi finally got her wish, so she couldn't wait to take a medicinal bath, and she said goodbye to her parents and returned to her room.
Lin Zhenxi punched a few times to relax his body in order to better absorb the medicinal properties.
The medicated bath was ready, and a large vat of green oil was still boiling and bubbling, making a "gurgling" sound.
Lin Zhenxi hesitated a little, doesn't this really cook people? She carefully stretched out her fingertips, touched the liquid medicine and quickly retracted it.
Not hot!
Lin Zhenxi took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, and jumped into the barrel.
"Coaxing", she felt a hot breath rush from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and her whole body quickly turned red.
It hurts! Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but open her mouth wide, but she couldn't make a sound, it hurt too much! Her body was as painful as if the wound was soaked in pepper water, it was itchy and numb, she wanted to leave the barrel, but it was too painful, Lin Zhenxi couldn't use any strength, she could only curl herself up in a ball, hoping to reduce some pain.
Time passed little by little, but the pain on Lin Zhenxi's body did not decrease at all, she wished that she could faint, and she didn't want to bear such pain anymore, but the seventh-layer divine consciousness and powerful divine soul of Qi refining made Lin Zhenxi maintain a high degree of sobriety.
Suddenly, she let out a scream, and the pain in her body changed from the initial tingling pain to a knife-like pain, and she felt that every inch of flesh on her body was torn and recombined. Tearing and combining like this, the severe pain made Lin Zhenxi scream again and again.
Gradually, the screams became quieter, and the pain of the knife cut was followed by the itch of new flesh growth, but Lin Zhenxi had no strength to scratch it, and she lay dying in the barrel.
After lying down for half an hour, Lin Zhenxi recovered, and she slowly walked out of the barrel and put on her clothes.
At this time, the medicinal decoction has become transparent, and it seems that the medicinal effect has been fully absorbed. Lin Zhenxi didn't expect that taking a medicated bath would be so painful, although it only hurt for 20 minutes, she felt that it was so long for a lifetime, and when she thought of the pain just now, she was still a little dazed.
Lin Zhenxi punched again, and the effect of punching after soaking the medicinal soup was really different! The body quickly became warm and comfortable, and the pain just now didn't seem to be so painful.
So Lin Zhenxi beat over and over again, and gradually, she felt a warm current inside her body, running along the meridians, and after punching once, it just ran for a week, and finally converged to the dantian to settle down.
Lin Zhenxi was amazed, he didn't dare to try again, I don't know what this energy is, what if it collides with spiritual power?
I feel that my body is not in pain at all, and even compared with myself in the morning, it is really a world of difference, and Lin Zhenxi feels that the pain is worth it.
What you want, you have to give. Now that the strength has increased, it is also appropriate to suffer the pain, there is no free lunch in the world.
