Chapter 17: Forget the Dust and Water
There was nothing strange about the second and third rooms that Chen Mu searched, until he came to the fourth room.
This room should be Huoli's alchemy room, there is a refined dark iron furnace in the middle of the house, there are four futons around this furnace, and on one side of the wall there are two rows of tall cabinets, on which are placed all kinds of strange herbs, Chen Mu doesn't know any of them.
"Well, I'll wait for her here. Chen Mu looked at the surprisingly quiet hall behind him, and the cautious feeling made him really unable to scream.
Chen Mu entered the room and examined it carefully. There was a row of dilapidated books on the top of the herbs, Chen Mu flipped through them, and found a book of "Strange Herbs" compiled by someone I don't know, each page has a picture and text introduction of a herb, and there is a number next to the name of each herb, but unfortunately most of them are common low-level herbs, and there is no strange grass that Shi Wei gave him, and there is not even a similar shape.
"Let's learn the basics of this herb when you have time. Chen Mu thought about it and put "Strange Grass Chronicles" into his arms.
After rummaging through the dried herbs, Chen Mu felt bored after a while, and turned around and came to the second row of cabinets.
I saw that the cabinet was full of all kinds of bottles, each of which was labeled with a number, and on the side of the cabinet was a catalog of medicine pills with corresponding numbers.
"The first floor, number thirteen, 'Forget the Dust Water'. Chen Mu found that this potion was the one that Xia Xue Lu mentioned to him, and it was possible that he had drunk it on the day he fell off the cliff.
Picked up the potion bottle, sealed it well, shook it, and there was a full bottle.
However, this dust water is not the purpose of this visit, the purpose is to find the antidote to the dust water. Chen Mu looked at the catalog excitedly, he knew that he was not far from revealing the truth.
Before he could find the antidote, Chen Mu had already carried several bottles of second-grade pills in his arms, one of which was the 'Blue Heart Pill' that Bai Wan gave him back then, and this kind of second pill that quickly restores his physical strength must of course be always available.
When he searched the third layer of cabinets, Chen Mu found that all the three pill bottles were empty. Continuing to climb up the wooden ladder, Chen Mu believed that there would be a better one on it.
There are not even bottles in the fourth layer of cabinets, that is the place where the four pins of pills are stored, this level of pills Chen Mu has heard of for a long time, and there are only about a dozen of them in the entire Xuanqing Gate, all of which are the best pills with various strange medicinal effects.
Looking at the fourth layer, which was empty, and there was not even an imprint on the bottom of the bottle, Chen Mu shook his head in disappointment.
Searching for the complete row of cabinets, Chen Mu was even more disappointed that there was no antidote to forget the dust and water.
"Maybe it's in another room. Chen Mu straightened out the bulging bag of belongings on his body and prepared to go to the next room to continue the search.
Walking to the door, Chen Mu looked back and forgot to glance at it, and with this casual glance, he found a clue that he had missed.
He stopped, turned around and walked towards the furnace ding, and through the six fire inlet holes of the furnace ding, he saw that there was a strangely shaped elixir inside.
"What kind of elixir is this? Such a strange shape, and being left out in this furnace ding, is definitely not a good elixir. Chen Mu looked at it, thought about it, and finally put the pill into his arms, planning to study it after taking it back.
At this time, Chen Mu was suddenly slapped from behind, and his heart was almost frightened, and finally he couldn't help but scream. The person who filmed him was, of course, Xia Xue.
"Senior sister, you can't make such jokes in this kind of place!" Chen Mu's face turned pale and scratched.
"Silly hat, guess what I found?Did you find anything in this pharmacy?!" Xia Xue looked around and asked excitedly.
Knowing that he had not found the antidote to the dust water, the barely hidden disappointment on Xia Xue's face was clearly seen by Chen Mu. But Xia Xue's surname was extremely tenacious, and she instantly returned to her normal state and began to tell Chen Mu the story he had discovered about this secret room.
"Alas, Chen Silly Hat, don't cry. The story of this secret room is very tragic, and I found a secret compartment in a room that looked like a lady's show, and in it was stored a note written by a woman, so I might like to tell you about it. Xia Xue frowned and looked at Chen Mu, who looked dumbfounded, and told him the story in the book......
This woman has two older brothers, and she is very fond of her, and often takes her out to play. Until one day, the woman's second brother and she took a dozen subordinates to play somewhere, and suddenly a red-haired beast came out of the mountain col, and finally subdued it under the joint efforts of many people. The second brother stood on the red-haired beast in order to show his might to his sister, and an inadvertent red-haired beast broke free of the rope and rushed to his sister. Since then, the second brother has been looking for elixir that can treat his sister's internal injuries, and he is also hunting for the nameless red-haired beast, only the inner dan of this beast can cure his sister's beast poison.
The younger sister is barely maintaining her life under the care of the eldest brother, how the younger sister is grateful to the two elder brothers, and how she doesn't want to see the sad mood of the two elder brothers anymore Xia Xue didn't say it directly.
Finally, one day, the second brother came back with several high-grade medicinal materials, and he was still cautiously carrying a bronze book page in his arms, which seemed to be the formula of some kind of elixir.
My sister was very grateful for the efforts of the second brother, she felt that the second brother was not sorry for her, and what he did could make up for the accident a long time ago. She deeply knows that her body can't last long, she just wants to hold hands with her second brother and recall all kinds of fun things she encountered when she traveled to the mountains and rivers.
To my sister's disappointment, the second brother didn't talk to her. As soon as he came back, he locked himself in the alchemy room......
The next two months were all about how the woman wanted to see her second brother, and she could already feel the passage of her life.
The second brother's efforts did not save his sister's life in the end. In the third month of the retreat alchemy, the younger sister was still immersed in the endless love for the second brother, lying in the arms of the eldest brother, and wrote the last sentence left for the second brother in the diary, and passed away quietly......
After Xia Xue finished speaking, Chen Mu was already crying. And what Xia Xue wants to know most is whether this second brother is Huoli, if so, she will teach the second brother a good lesson on behalf of this sister, and the brother who never saw his sister in the end is really killing a thousand knives.
Seeing Chen Mu hunched over, Xia Xue pouted and patted Chen Mu's back again, as if to comfort him: "Look at you sad, I don't think I'm very eloquent, you are so face-saving." If I encounter life and death, I will definitely face it calmly, what is there to cry about. As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xue paused a little strangely for some reason.
"Chen Mu, don't you want to know what the woman wrote in the end?"
"Let's talk about it, maybe there is a clue to the Forget Dust Hydrodote. Chen Mu straightened up.
"The last sentence is: Second brother, I don't blame you, I want to play with you forever. We must still be brothers and sisters in the next life, please leave me here, here are all the memories of my childhood to adulthood. Love your sister. After Xia Xue finished speaking, she looked into the hall again.
"There is a jade coffin in this sister's room, but it is empty, and I have also looked at several other rooms, and there is not the slightest clue about this sister. Xia Xue's expression became cold and gloomy, as if this deceased "sister" was not simple.
