Chapter 20: The Box

While waiting for the pharmacy hall, Ou Peng reluctantly picked up the seemingly ordinary small box of zuihou, and looked forward to it in his heart, in this short time of tea, he saw a treasure that he had never seen in the first half of his life, I don't know what kind of treasure is in this box, can it be more magical than longevity pills?

This box is cool to start with, it feels very heavy, Ou Peng put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, the whole box is integrated, I don't know what material it is made of, there seems to be no trace of the lid, I don't know where to open it. Ou Peng tried the four sides, pulled it up, and pressed it, but it didn't work. You can't bite with your teeth, right?" Ou Peng secretly laughed at himself, put the box back on the table, and then beckoned everyone to come forward and take a look.

Everyone watched for a long time, and the fourth and sixth children also stepped forward to try several methods, but they didn't work. Zhang Chengyue frowned and said, "Master, is it possible to use something like a key?"

The sixth child glanced at him and said, "Master and nephew, if you want to use the key, you have to have a keyhole, right, this box doesn't see the lock, and there is no hidden lock or anything like that?"

Zhang Chengyue blushed a little, stood curtly and did not refute.

Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing had seen this box in Midi before, and Wen Wenhai had tried to open it, but at this time, seeing that the master and uncle had not been able to open it, they didn't dare to come up with new ideas, but Xue Qing looked at the box that he had won with rock-paper-scissors and was very interested, and even shook it in his ear, wanting to hear if there was any sound inside, but unfortunately it had no effect.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Bai Dong, the hall master of the Pharmacy Hall, and He Yunpu, the elder, arrived at the council hall, and after Shi Li met the helper and the others, Zhang Chengyue took them to the square table where the medicine was placed. The reaction of these two people was even more beyond everyone's imagination, not that they were not surprised by everyone's expectations, but that the surprise was too excessive. I saw that the two of them didn't seem to have turned their eyes since they saw the things in the package, their footsteps seemed to be on the ground, and they couldn't move half a step at all, pointing at the medicinal herbs, their arms were trembling, and the hara in their mouths was almost to the ground.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, the two of them came back to their senses, and they didn't care about the laughing expressions of the embarrassed people who were admiring the embarrassment of the two of them, and said to themselves: "This is more than 600 years of ginseng, this is more than 600 years of Tian Qi, this is 400 years of Tian Jing, this is 700 years of golden thread grass? Yes, it is exactly the same as what is recorded in the "Grass Dictionary", what about this? I am not dazzled, a thousand years of dragon slaying grass? How is it possible? However, 'most of the roots are in the shape of thin cords and curved. Stems erect, solitary or clustered, longitudinally finely striated, glabrous or slightly white at the apex, multi-branched in the upper part. The leaves are dark green above, pale below, stalked at the base, ovate-elliptic, with rounded blunt or sharply serrated margins, silver teeth for centuries, gold teeth for millennia', this ...... These golden side teeth, oh my God, I'm not dreaming. The White Hall Master slapped himself hard in the face as he spoke. Then, he only sucked his mouth in pain.

And the other Elder He Yunpu He also muttered the name of the medicine that everyone couldn't understand, and his face was incredible, zuihou, he picked up a palm-like medicinal herb and said, "What is this? ”

Elder He was also not happy, and said, "The "Grass Codex" says that the fish hand grass is in the shape of three fingers, and this one obviously has four. ”

The White Hall Master took a closer look, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, I don't know, and the remaining four or five medicinal materials, it seems that I haven't seen them." I just don't know if there is a record in the "Grass Codex"?"

Elder He also squinted his eyes and thought carefully, and nodded in agreement: "I don't know, I have learned too little, I have learned too little." ”

Ou Peng interjected in time: "Hall Master Bai, Elder He!"

This sentence woke up the two of them, and the two of them realized that it was in the council hall, not the pharmacy hall where they usually discussed knowledge, and hurriedly bowed their hands to everyone: "Seeing so many haode medicinal materials, I am happy in my heart, I can't help myself, please forgive me and everyone." ”

Everyone returned the favor and said it was okay.

Ou Peng said: "Two gentlemen, what is the value and function of these drugs?"

Elder He said: "The helper doesn't know where to get these strange medicines? This ginseng, Tian Qi, Tian Jing, He Shou Wu and other things, the varieties are also ordinary, but the age of these medicinal materials is really terrifying, the hundred-year-old ones are already extremely rare, and these are actually the worst ones that are three hundred years old. And the golden thread grass, snake gall grass and other things are good medicine for external injuries, this snake grass, coral grass, stone wind medicine is the holy medicine for the treatment of internal injuries, the others are rare medicinal materials, and then supplemented with other medicinal materials, with the way of the monarch and the minister, the principle of yin and yang is prepared into medicine, it must be a good thing to see. ”

At this time, the White Hall Master came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Helper, the place where these things are found must be kept strictly secret, the Dragon Slaying Grass and Peacock Grass among them are the main medicines that can refine power-increasing drugs such as the Qi Pill, which are recorded in our ethereal classics." The ears of the people who said this were pricked up.

Ou Peng said, "Is there a record in the classics about how to refine the Qi Benefiting Pill?"

The White Hall Master said: "No, the formula of the Yiqi Pill has long been lost, and what is recorded in the classics is only some similar pills, the efficacy is limited, and the medicines required are extremely rare. ”

Ou Peng said: "Master Baitang, you can take these medicinal materials to the Pharmacy Hall to study first, what are the effects of each, and then take a detailed look at the formulas of those pills similar to the Yiqi Pill, you are ready, maybe ......."

Ou Peng's words were not finished, and the White Hall Master had already understood it, and immediately said, "Follow the instructions of the helper." ”

Then he and Elder He carefully held the package and walked out of the council hall. Ou Peng also instructed Zhang Chengyue to allocate a lot of manpower to the pharmacy hall to protect it.

After the White Hall Master and Elder He left, Ou Peng sat back in his chair.

His eyes fell on the small box on the table that he couldn't open by all means. After thinking about it, he still instructed Zhang Chengyue to call the master of the Divine Machine Hall, this Divine Machine Hall is the place where the Ethereal Sect refines weapons and hidden weapons, and the master of the Hall of Time is the master of casting weapons in this area of Pingyang City.

Not long after, Shi Yukun came to the council hall, he observed the small box for a while, and used a variety of means, but he was also at a loss.

However, he hesitated for a moment, and asked Ou Peng in a tentative tone: "Helper, I think, do you want Shi Niu to come and try?"

This stone cow is a reckless man who practices strong vajra in the ethereal faction, his kung fu is not very good, but his strength is first-class, plus the main attack on strong vajra, in terms of strength alone, it is the first in the gang.

Shi Yukun's words woke up the dreamer, the box is just a container for storing things, in order to get the things in the box, it is good to keep the box intact, if you can't keep the box, open it skillfully, then there is only brute force cracking. Zuihou can get things is the king.

Shi Niu also came to the council hall, this is a long strong man, standing taller than everyone in the hall, full of strong muscles, looking at his loyal and simple smiling face, Ou Peng didn't say anything, just handed him the small box and gave an order: "Open." ”

When Shi Niu received the box, he didn't say much, and he was about to break it from the middle of the box with both hands, and the box didn't move at all. Immediately afterwards, Shi Niu put the box on the ground, took a deep breath, and luckily dantian, his two arms suddenly became a lot thicker, and the fingers of his hands were thicker than just now, and then, Shi Niu shouted, his eyes were staring at the box, and his hands slapped towards the box hard, only to hear a muffled sound of "poof", and a pair of fan-like hands slapped on the box, and the box was not smashed into pieces as everyone imagined, but was slapped into the stone slab under the hall by Shi Niu.

Shi Niu took out the box that was slapped into the slate, looked at the intact box, scratched his head, and looked at the helper, looking innocent and depressed. I thought, "What is this?"

Send the stone cow away, Ou Peng himself is depressed, what should he do with this box?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he drew the hanging sword from his waist, but then inserted it back. The eyes of the rest of the people in the council hall were also bright, knowing that the helper had thought of a good way to open the box. Zhang Chengyue didn't wait for Ou Peng's instructions, and said to Shi Yukun: "Isn't there still a 'water cut' in the hall of the hall master? Why don't you give it a try?"

Shi Yukun glanced at Ou Peng, and saw that the helper had no intention of objecting, so he said, "Please wait a moment for the helper and you, I will come when I go." ”

After a while, Shi Yukun came back with a knife with a quaint scabbard, and he said to Ou Peng: "Helper, I'll try it first." ”

Ou Peng nodded in agreement.

Shi Yukun pulled out the knife from the scabbard, only to see that this knife was not as shiny as other knives, but a dark knife surface, and occasionally light was reflected from the knife surface, which was a little dazzling, like black lightning.

Shi Yukun raised the knife, first tentatively cut at the corner of the box, but the box did not react, and then, he took a deep breath, raised the "cut water" again, and cut it down with all his strength according to the corner of the box.

However, there was no click, not even, no sound, as if the knife had been cut on cotton, and the box was still there, undamaged.

Ou Peng glanced at Shi Yukun, who was about to slash again, and said, "Give me the knife." ”

Ou Peng took the knife handed over by Shi Yukun, put the box on the ground in the small groove that Shi Niu shot just now, and then, the luck dantian, the color on his face kept changing, until it changed to the sixth time, and then stopped, the fourth and sixth brothers next to him looked envious, and they were all saying in their hearts: "The ethereal magic skill of the senior brother in charge is so profound, and they have all practiced to the sixth layer." ”

Ou Peng raised the "cut off water" and injected the true qi in his body into the blade, and the whole knife was no longer the dark knife surface of the past, and under the injection of ethereal magic skills, there were some color changes, and then, Ou Peng shouted loudly and slashed towards the box.
