Chapter 25: The Heart of the Drug
After returning to the room, Chen Yu, who was already hungry, hurriedly took out the food and picked it up in a bummer, until there was nothing left to eat, he patted his stomach with satisfaction and burped. Then he picked up the tea that had been brewed a long time ago and drank a cup beautifully.
After eating and drinking, Chen Yu began another day of cultivation. I don't know when he began to practice the nameless mantra as one of the things he had to do every day. Before, because the mysterious light spot fell for a day, he was uncomfortable, as if something was missing, and even Chen Yu himself felt that he was a little stunned.
......
Until late at night, Chen Yu stopped cultivating the nameless mantra. He had just finished cultivating the mantra and was in good spirits, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. It is worth mentioning that with the improvement of the level of mantras, the number of days he can cultivate every day has also increased, and this discovery made Chen Yu very happy.
Over the past few years, he has gradually mastered the level of daily cultivation so that his muscles and veins will not be injured due to his inability to withstand the energy.
Outside the window, the stars are dotted, and a waning moon hangs in the night sky.
Chen Yu looked out the window, and he got up and got out of bed without sleep. Immediately took the gourd off his neck, Chen Yu was a little unsure, he felt that the green on the gourd seemed to be a little lighter.
He shook his head, laughing at himself if he was thinking too much. The milky liquid in the gourd hadn't been figured out yet, so he decided to take it out and take a look at it first. Chen Yu opened the gourd and glanced into the gourd.
"Huh, why do you feel so much less?!"
Chen Yu squinted one eye and stared at the inside of the gourd, a little surprised. I saw that the milky white liquid in the gourd was missing a small half, and the liquid level had reached the important part of the gourd. He thought about it, he had been cultivating the mantra just now, and if someone moved the gourd, it was impossible for him not to know it.
Before, he went to fetch food and didn't find that Taniguchi's mechanism was touched, and it was impossible for anyone to break in from other places, so the problem could only lie with Hulu himself.
In order to confirm his guess, Chen Yu resealed the gourd and held it tightly in his hand. He decided to wait until dawn to see if the liquid in the gourd would disappear, and he also had to think about how to use the gourd liquid. Also, whether the gourd liquid can be produced again is a question that bothers him.
......
When it was almost dawn, Chen Yu, who felt that it would make no difference if he waited for another hour or two, opened the gourd again, but just by looking at the inside of the gourd, Chen Yu's face completely darkened.
There was still half a gourd's milky white liquid last night, and at this time there was less than a third left. After looking forward to it for more than half a month, a whole gourd liquid disappeared by two-thirds so inexplicably, how could it not make Chen Yu angry.
However, Chen Yu also determined one thing, that is, if the liquid in the gourd is not used, the liquid in the gourd will disappear faster with the increase of time. At this moment, Chen Yu had an urge to drink the remaining liquid into his stomach, otherwise he felt that it would be too wasteful.
In the end, Chen Yu still suppressed the impulse in his heart, it would be funny if he drank this unknown liquid to death.
Chen Yu brought a clean teacup and poured half of the remaining milky liquid into it, determined to take a good look. However, with just a cup of tea, Chen Yu found that all the liquid in the teacup had disappeared.
In order to study it carefully, Chen Yu opened the gourd and poured a few drops, and poured half a cup of water into the teacup, he was determined to dilute the liquid.
In less than a cup of tea, the diluted liquid in the cup became no different from water.
It seems that there must be an unknown ingredient in the liquid, and if it is not used, the longer it passes, the faster it will disappear. And once it leaves the gourd, it cannot be kept for more than one cup of tea.
At this time, Chen Yu gave up completely, and it seemed that he had to find a living creature to give it a try. Chen Yu looked out the window, it was not long after dawn, and the disciple who delivered the food should be about to arrive. He put away the gourd and hurried to the valley mouth.
......
Chen Yu waited for a stick of incense outside the valley before the vegetable delivery disciple rushed over sweating. In addition to the food delivery basket, there are also two rabbits in his hands.
Chen Yu looked at the vegetable delivery disciples who trotted over all the way, frowned, and leaned against the stone tablet at the mouth of the valley. He didn't expect that the disciple who had never been late for food delivery would be late today, making him wait so long.
"Senior brother, your meal. The little brother didn't come late on purpose today, he was really the granddaughter of the kitchen steward....." The vegetable delivery disciple who approached Chen Yu had a bitter face and hurriedly explained to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu looked at the rabbit that the disciple who delivered the vegetables on the ground, and his frowning brows relaxed slightly. He hasn't blamed the other party because he has something to ask the other party for, but at the moment, it seems that what he wants is right in front of him, so there is no need to wait. However, Chen Yu didn't intend to show his intention too obviously, he made up his mind and spoke.
"What do you call the little junior brother?" asked Chen Yu pretending to be angry.
"Senior brother, junior brother Sun Fuji. The vegetable delivery disciple replied in a low voice.
"Well, you're saying you're late because of these two rabbits? Chen Yu pointed to the two rabbits on the ground, and his tone was unpredictable.
"Senior brother, it's the granddaughter of the kitchen steward who wants to raise two rabbits, and the steward asked me to find a way to get two. The monthly silver in the door has been sent back, so I have no choice but to borrow some silver from a few senior brothers, and I have been delayed for a lot of time. Sun Buji poured bitter water with a bitter face.
Chen Yu is not easy to be difficult for the other party, but he needs those two rabbits very much now.
"Isn't there silver in the door every month, why do you still have to borrow silver?" Chen Yu asked.
"The senior brother didn't know that there was a famine in the younger brother's house this year, and there were five younger siblings in the family, so he was counting on the silver in the door to make ends meet. Sun Buer said helplessly.
"Okay, I'm not going to pursue you. But I want these two rabbits, and it just so happens that I have nothing to do to raise and play. Take the ten taels of silver, when I will buy these two rabbits. Go and buy two new rabbits for the housekeeper's granddaughter, and keep the excess. Chen Yu unconsciously moved his heart of compassion, stuffed the only ten taels of silver left on his body into the other party's hand, picked up the rabbit and food and turned back to the valley.
"Senior brother, two rabbits only need one or two ....." Before Sun Buer could finish explaining, Chen Yu disappeared.
He looked at Taniguchi, and suddenly felt that Tanuchi, the uncle he had offended before, was actually much better than anyone else in the door. Not a bully, and magnanimous. Unlike other elders and Dharma protector disciples, they wantonly bullied them by virtue of their status, and once they made a mistake, they were either severely punished or expelled from the school.
.....
Back in the valley, Chen Yu put down his meal, put the two rabbits in the open space on the west side of the valley, and quickly went back to the house to get a teacup and a pot of water, and he decided to experiment with the milky white liquid of the gourd with two living animals.
Time was running out, and Chen Yu estimated that the liquid in the gourd would all disappear after a while. He opened the gourd and poured all the liquid from the gourd into the teacup. He takes out a rabbit and feeds the rabbit the liquid from the teacup. The snow-white rabbit also seemed to be a little thirsty, and lowered his head to drink all the liquid.
Chen Yu put down the rabbit and decided to unscrew the gourd and rinse some diluted liquid with water to feed it to another rabbit. The rabbit on the ground suddenly roared wildly, its eyes turned completely red, its body gradually expanded, and it kept bulging egg-sized bags, as if it was about to run out.
didn't have time to think about it, Chen Yu put away the gourd and left immediately. Chen Yu, who had run a few feet, just turned his head and saw that the rabbit's body was already bulging, about the size of a basketball, and the rabbit was still screaming in pain.
Suddenly, with a bang, the rabbit exploded, shedding a rain of blood. A whole rabbit was left with no bones left in an instant.
Looking at the deep pit as big as a basketball at the explosion, Chen Yu wiped the sweat on his forehead, fortunately he didn't experiment in person last night, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chen Yu looked at the other rabbit that was not affected, and planned to put it away. He twisted the hoist as he walked, he was going to try it with a diluted liquid, maybe the liquid was too thick.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the gourd could not be opened as before. Chen Yu sighed, cleaned up the explosion site, and it seemed that he had to wait for the night to verify whether the liquid in the gourd was disposable.
"It looks like I'm going to have this rabbit for the next few days. ”
.....
This night, the scene of the gourd absorbing light points appeared again. Chen Yu began to practice mantras during the day, and let the gourd absorb light spots at night.
.....
Seven days later, Chen Yu collected a gourd full of milky liquid again. Seeing this, Chen Yu finally concluded that this gourd could continuously collect this liquid, and as long as the gourd was full, it could be opened. Then he could continue to study until he discovered the use of the gourd liquid.
Chen Yu began to wonder if he was too bored or too paranoid.
At noon on this day, on the west side of the valley. Chen Yu took out the rabbit that had been hungry for a day and had been basking in the sun for half a day. This time he diluted a drop of liquid with a bowl of water and fed it to the rabbits.
The rabbit, who was already drooping his head, covered his head and drank. Half a bowl later, the same situation happened again, and Chen Yu immediately hid away with the bowl.
"Bang ....." The second rabbit is also gone. Chen Yu sighed, and splashed the remaining half bowl of liquid casually, coincidentally, it happened to splash a white silver grass planted by Hai Lao before leaving.
Chen Yu leveled the ground at the explosion site until he didn't see anything unusual, and then went back to the house depressed.
