Chapter 80: The Elixir Against the Heavens
Looking at Fang Zhongtian's dewy hair, although Yun Yun was disappointed, he still patiently explained the reason why he came to look for him. First, he was entrusted by Aunt Li and sympathized with his family's plight. Moreover, the purpose of coming to Funiu Mountain this time is to find an old man, who is the same age as him. The group of them just heard that there was an existence named Fang Zhongtian in Fangjiazhai, so they rushed all the way to this place, and it happened to be the right time to save his life.
Fang Zhongtian was also very helpless, it turned out that his name saved his life. Then he solemnly said again that he really didn't know, and if there was a need in the future, he would definitely help everyone find it. Next, he talked about what happened to him these days.
It turned out that he had been looking for the wood spirit root since he left home that day, maybe it was really bad luck, and he couldn't find anything even after looking for a few days, so he could only go deeper and deeper. Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly found a wood spirit root on a steep cliff, so he was ecstatic and climbed the cliff with his good skills. Unexpectedly, he was very happy and sad just now, and his feet slipped and fell, and he fainted.
When I woke up, I found that my leg had been broken. Here is the depths of the mountain, and no one can only save themselves, so they took the bones and simply fixed them, and they were worried about the safety of their son, so they didn't care about cultivation, so they picked a shortcut down the mountain and climbed down. When you are hungry, you eat some grass roots and tree bark, and when you are thirsty, you will have a piece of unmelted ice and snow, but fortunately you have not encountered any beasts. It's just that the injury is really not light, and it is inconvenient to move, so it is only crawling out of dozens of miles after a few days. I really couldn't hold on today, and I fainted as soon as it was dark in front of my eyes.
Everyone was clear about what happened after that, and when he finished speaking, Yun also briefly talked about the process of meeting and getting along with Aunt Li. When he heard that they had tried their best to save Fang Xiang, Fang Zhongtian couldn't help but be deeply moved, and was silent for a while before he made up his mind and said: "A few people have nothing to repay me and my family for what Fang Mou has done, and there will not be many opportunities to use Fang Mou in the future depending on their identities and skills." Fang has no longevity and no way to repay him, I have a secret in my heart to tell you today, maybe it will be of some use to a few people. As for what you plan to do after getting this news, I won't interfere, I just want to express my gratitude. ”
Fang Zhongtian sorted out his thoughts for a moment and then said, "Have you heard of the Innate Creation Pill?"
Both the cloud and the little said they didn't know. Lao Dao thought for a while and said: "When I was young, I sorted out the classics in the door, as if I had seen it from an ancient book. It is said to be an anti-heaven elixir that can improve the qualifications of those who practice martial arts, but it has been lost. ”
"The seniors are really knowledgeable! Yes, it's this elixir. As we all know, the cultivation of martial arts is the most important and diligent, but understanding and qualification are also indispensable. Some people are diligent all their lives, and their understanding is not bad, but they just don't have much achievement, just because of bad qualifications, which is commonly known as congenital deficiency. The Innate Creation Pill is an elixir to improve qualifications, and it is said that after taking it, it can strengthen bones and broaden the meridians, and there are many unexpected benefits. ”
Lao Dao asked curiously: "Why do you mention this?
Fang Zhongtian shook his head: "I don't have it, but I know where it is! I didn't have a mother when I was a child, and it is said that I died in childbirth when I was born, so my father and I were the only ones who depended on each other. At that time, my father's martial arts reached the peak, and he was not weaker than the current top ten masters, but he didn't often walk around the rivers and lakes, so he didn't have such a famous name. ”
"When I was eight years old, my father was invited by a friend to discuss something important, but when he came back two months after leaving, he was seriously injured. Knowing that his time was running out, he called my uncle and me to the bed before the oil ran out, and said that he had been invited by a friend to explore the tomb of an ancient ancestor. Everything went well, they disarmed the trap, bypassed the trap, entered the interior of the mausoleum, and received the inheritance of the senior. ”
"That inheritance is an elixir, according to the suicide note of the senior, this elixir is the innate creation pill, and the efficacy of the pill is introduced. Just when the father and his friends were full of joy, someone attacked them. My father's friend was killed on the spot, and my father was seriously injured. It's just that the person who attacked him was also injured a lot, so his father had a chance to escape. ”
"Their father didn't say who exactly attacked him, but he just said that the man was extremely good at kung fu and was not even an opponent, so he didn't want us to avenge him. And told us to act in a low-key manner, and try not to have more contact with outsiders, so as not to be found by the enemy. ”
"Then he entrusted me to my uncle and gave him the pill for safekeeping. He gave me a service when I was fourteen years old, and he died not long after. It's just that I haven't seen that pill since that day, and it must have been taken by my uncle."
"But after so many years, the elixir may have been taken by him or his descendants long ago!" asked Xiao Xiao strangely.
"That's impossible!" Fang Zhongtian replied, "At that time, my father didn't know what to think about putting the elixir in the Qiqiao Linglong box. The box mechanism is very intricately designed, with a tangram lock. The lock is made up of seven numbers, each of which can be rotated and can only be opened if all seven numbers are selected at the same time. ”
"Can't you pry it open violently?" the cloud was also aroused.
"No, although the box can be opened violently, there is still a mechanism inside the box, if you don't open the lock and force it to open, the acid stored in the interlayer of the box will flow out and destroy the elixir. And my father only told me about the method of unlocking, so the elixir must still be there. ”
"Let's not talk about whether you can get it, even if you get it, what can you do like this?" said with a smile: "As far as I know, that kind of elixir can only play a role in improving qualifications when you are young, and once you become an adult, all parts of your body have been finalized, and there is no possibility of transformation." The two of them were long past the age to take them, let alone an old man like me. Do you want to leave the elixir to their descendants?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he made Yun and Xiao Xiao blush. Xiaoxiao was even more angry and happy: "I don't respect the old!"
Fang Zhongtian hurriedly explained: "Actually, it is a good choice to leave it to future generations, because the combination of two people with the same martial arts skills, the next generation may not necessarily have good qualifications, which has a precedent since ancient times." But this does not mean that this pill can only be taken by children in their early years, and adults can also use it. My father once told me that although this elixir cannot change bones when used by adults, it can broaden the meridians. Martial arts practitioners know that the wider the meridians and the better the toughness, the stronger the internal force emitted. Perhaps it was for this reason that my father did not give my uncle the method to open the box. ”
"Okay!" Lao Dao smiled: "We accept your kindness." You rest first, and we'll talk about this later, and the urgency of the delay is to go back and solve Ling Gongzi's problem as soon as possible. ”
"By the way, I still have one more thing to trouble my seniors. Fang Zhongtian said with a sad face: "Over the years, I often think back to the reason why my son was poisoned, although I was young and frivolous at that time, I didn't offend anyone, and my son was not poisoned to take revenge on me." ”
"Later, I fell out with my uncle and remembered that according to the clan rules, even if my uncle didn't return the position of patriarch to me, he should return my son, which may be the reason why Fang Xiang was poisoned. Again, shortly after I found out that my son had been poisoned, my uncle's son, my cousin, came to see me, and at that time we had no way to detoxify, not even suppress the poison. But he told me cryptically that if I could hand over the way to open the box, he would be responsible for helping Xiang'er detoxify. It seemed like a big grasp to his tone, but I refused at the time. Later, I thought that their family might have tried to use Fang Xiang's poisoning to blackmail me into handing over the pill. So I implore my seniors, if you have any intersection with Fangjiazhai in the future, please pay attention to the method of detoxification for me. ”
After speaking, Fang Zhongtian simply said the arrangement of the numbers, and went to rest. At the same time, his expression was also much more relaxed, as if he had solved the problem that had plagued him for many years.
When he fell asleep, the three of them began to analyze what he had just said. Yun felt that the pill was illusory, not to mention whether it existed or not, even if it was obtained, the effect of the medicine was not necessarily as good as the legend. After all, no one has experienced it personally. Now that the matter of finding Fang Zhongtian is over, don't let it be a troublemaker.
Lao Dao was a little skeptical that Fang Zhongtian wanted to borrow their hands to take revenge on Fang Jiazhai.
And Xiaoxiao believes that what Fang Zhongtian said is extremely true. First of all, they had the grace to save Fang Zhongtian's life, and they had done their best to save his child, Fang Zhongtian should be grateful. Secondly, the three of them, especially the old Dao martial arts, are extremely high, if he is found to be deliberately deceiving in the future, the consequences are not something he can afford. The most important point, and perhaps the closest to the truth, Fang Zhongtian no longer has much hope of getting the pill back, it is better to give it to us as a personal favor. And if his analysis is correct, his son's poisoning has nothing to do with his uncle's family. He didn't want to compromise and didn't have the ability to solve the problem, so he wanted to borrow our hands to get the antidote. And looking at Fang Jiazhai's style of acting, it really seems to be evading or protecting something.
At this point, everyone feels that the truth is not far away. Since it is certain that the elixir does exist, there is still an indifferent attitude in the cloud, but the old Tao and Xiaoxiao are bound to get it. Especially Lao Dao has already taken it as a bag. This makes Yun very puzzled, this old guy is so concerned, could it be that he has an illegitimate child?
