Murong Xi raised the question in his mind: "I have always had a doubt, that is, although the Gu Sutra comes from Fengtian Sect, why do the orthodox elders practice the Gu refining techniques in the Gu Sutra? After all, the Gu Sutra was written a long time ago
They were all taken away by the saint, and the Gu Scripture has been kept in the ancestral hall of Xuanmen Villa ever since. Could it be said that Elder Zheng stole it when he secretly went to Fengtian Sect?" Murong Xi did not believe that Elder Zheng was in Fengtian.
If possible, the only Gu Sutra that can be taught is the wooden box.
After hearing Murong Xi's doubts, Feng Mingye replied: "Xi'er, unless the elder himself tells us where he got the Gu refining technique in the Gu Scripture."
After Xuan Liangyue thought about it, she said, "No, at least someone should know."
Murong Xi nodded and responded: "Yes, that person is Ji Limo. However, Ji Limo was bewitched by the elder Zheng. Only by removing the bewitching for him can we know the secrets in the Gu Sutra.
"
"You mean Ji Limo knows the secrets in Gu Sutra? But we haven't heard him mention it." Feng Mingye asked doubtfully.
"Ji Limo has a lot of things hidden in his head. He wouldn't be able to remember it unless he was specifically asked to recall it." Murong Xi said slowly.
"Are there the medicinal materials you need here?" Xuan Liangyue asked.
"Come and take a look?" Murong Xi glanced at Xuan Liangyue.
Xuan Liangyue looked along the Yin Yang Grass and saw that there was indeed a purple four-leaf flower growing under the leaves of the Yin Yang Grass.
"It turns out to be Sucao. The elder is really vicious. Sucao is not suitable for growing and likes dark and humid places. This cave is close to a spring, so Sucao grows in the cave. Among the medicinal materials you need to cure the poison, Sucao is
It cannot be replaced. If the old grass here cannot be picked, what should we do?" Xuan Liangyue said worriedly.
Murong Xi said: "Don't you remember how I regained my inner strength?"
"You mean...is it really okay?" Xuan Liangyue asked.
Feng Mingye certainly understood the meaning of Xuan Liangyue's words, but asked with some worry: "Xier, you don't want to pull out the Yin Yang grass with your bare hands, do you?"
Murong Xi shook his head and said: "No, I am not pulling out the yin-yang grass, but directly pulling out the old grass. Don't worry, Aye, I know it well and will not make fun of my own body."
Feng Mingye breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Murong Xi was not worried. Murong Xi approached the cave wall and gently pulled out the grass with his hands. After taking the grass, several people left the cave. Mo'er saw
When the three people came out, they handed the kettles filled with spring water to them.
After the three people drank the spring water, Feng Mingye asked: "How many medicinal materials do we still need to collect?"
Murong Xi responded: "There is only one kind left, and it is also the most difficult one to get."
"Xier, you must know that it is already dusk now, and it will be dark in a while. By then, we will have to travel at night." Feng Mingye asked.
"The last herb can only be picked at night." Murong Xi said to Feng Mingye.
"Then let's rest here for a while and then set off again later?" Feng Mingye asked.
Murong Xi nodded and said, "That's fine, the scenery here is beautiful anyway."
"You don't have to worry. After I went back and had a chat with my father, I used the poison control technique. I believe that the poison insects of the elder Zheng are no longer useful." Xuan Liangyue said.
Murong Xi agreed very much with Xuan Liangyue's actions. If she had not been poisoned by poison, she would have used the poison control technique on the elder. However, this matter was indeed her fault. She underestimated the ability of the elder.
This gave him the opportunity to play a poison on himself.
After sitting by the spring and resting for a while, Murong Xi took them to the place where they wanted to collect herbs.
"Xier, didn't you say that this medicine needs to be picked at night? Isn't it a little early to leave now?" Feng Mingye asked.
"We must arrive early and guard there, otherwise we will run away." Murong Xi said with a wicked smile.
Feng Mingye raised his eyebrows and did not continue to ask Murong Xi, but he knew that Murong Xi would not joke.
Several people walked down the mountain. When they reached the halfway point, Murong Xi signaled everyone to stop. It turned out that there was a cave here, but it was smaller than the one at the top of the mountain. However, Murong Xi did not want to follow everyone into the cave.
Instead, he was looking at a yellow flower bud at the entrance of the cave. Murong Xi said softly: "We found it. Let's just wait here."
Feng Mingye looked at the flower bud and felt that the flower bud was very ordinary. Do we have to wait until the flower blooms? However, he didn't understand why Murong Xi's voice suddenly dropped, as if he was worried that the flower bud would really run away after hearing the sound.
After Xuan Liangyue saw the yellow flower buds, she was not too surprised. After listening to Murong Xi's words, she lay down in the flowers opposite.
Several people, like Xuan Liangyue, were lying on the opposite side waiting for the buds to bloom.
Feng Mingye said softly to Murong Xi: "Should we wait until the flowers bloom and then we pick them off?"
Murong Xi shook his head and said to Feng Mingye: "The good show is yet to come, don't miss it."
Feng Mingye didn't ask again, worried that she would miss picking the flowers, so she waited quietly for the flowers to bloom.
The sun set in the west, and soon the moon climbed into the sky.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Feng Mingye discovered that the flower buds were slowly opening. And this yellow flower looked very ordinary just now, but now because of the moonlight, the yellow flower actually gave off a faint golden light. At this time, the petals just opened completely.
The three petals were watery, and there seemed to be mucus on the petals, which was about to drip. The yellow petals also began to become crystal clear, just like flowers made of citrine.
Feng Mingye didn't even blink, because he didn't want to miss such a beautiful scene. However, he was a little surprised by Murong Xi's reaction, that he had no intention of picking flowers.
Murong Xi had already seen Feng Mingye's strange eyes, and blinked at Feng Mingye without speaking.
Just when he thought Murong Xi's reaction was strange, he heard Sisi's voice. Because it was very quiet in the mountains, they didn't even dare to breathe, so Sisi's voice sounded clearer.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Feng Mingye figured out where the sound came from. It turned out to be a little golden snake. That faint sound was the sound of the little golden snake spitting out a message.
The behavior of the little golden snake was also very strange. It seemed to be very vigilant. After circling the yellow flower twice, it stared at the yellow flower intoxicatedly.
Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi and winked at her, meaning that she wanted to ask Murong Xi that if she didn't pick the flowers in time, she would be swallowed by a golden snake.
Murong Xi shook his head and told Feng Mingye not to worry and let him continue to see what happened next with the prescription.
Next, just as Feng Mingye expected, the little golden snake spit out the letter, sucked all the mucus on the yellow flower into its mouth, and then swallowed the yellow flower in one gulp.
Murong Xi still didn't move, and the little golden snake didn't leave directly after swallowing the flower. Instead, it stretched its neck as if looking up at the sky, as if it was absorbing the moonlight.
A quarter of an hour later, when the little golden snake was about to leave, Murong Xi fired a silver needle and pierced the little golden snake's body. The little golden snake seemed to have been drugged and fainted.
"Let's go." Murong Xi rushed over, pulled out the silver needle, grabbed the little golden snake with his hands and put it into a cloth bag.
Feng Mingye asked: "Xier, are you going to kill it now?"
Murong Xi smiled slightly and said: "Of course it is not dead, and it is not that easy to die. I just put the poison on the silver needle, and the little golden snake fell into a coma after being hit by the silver needle."
Murong Xi walked near the yellow flower, thinking that the little golden snake had only swallowed the yellow flower and not the real yellow flower. Murong Xi squatted down and dug out the root of the yellow flower. Murong Xi asked Mo'er for a kettle and put the root of the yellow flower in it.
Clean it. It turns out that the yellow flower is not only beautiful, but its roots are also beautiful. It looks like a yellow gem. Murong Xi did not put this thing in the bamboo basket, but took the sachet from his waist and opened it.
, put the roots of the yellow flowers into the sachet.
"Let's go." Murong Xi said.
Feng Mingye nodded, and several people quickly went down the mountain under the moonlight.
Several people performed light kung fu and entered the backyard. In order to avoid arousing the elder Zheng's doubts, they entered Murong Xi's courtyard directly.
Mo'er went out to find a small bamboo cage and put the little golden snake into the cage.
Seeing that everyone was back, Linglong went to boil hot water, made tea for everyone, and sent it in.
After Feng Mingye sat down, she was worried that Murong Xi would be tired, so she asked: "Xier, if you are tired, go to bed earlier."
"I'm not tired, but I can rest early. After all, I need to remove the poison for Rushi tomorrow." Murong Xi said slowly.
"Anyway, we have found all the medicinal materials, so we don't have to worry anymore." Xuan Liangyue took a sip of tea and said.
"Speaking of medicinal materials, I was very curious at the time. I thought the medicinal material Xi'er needed was the yellow flower, but it turned out to be the little golden snake that swallowed the yellow flower." Feng Mingye said curiously.
"That yellow flower is actually called spiritual grass. The little golden snake likes the smell of spiritual grass very much, but the spiritual grass only blooms in the middle of the night. The little golden snake specially waits there for the spiritual grass to bloom. This little golden snake is a kind of spiritual grass.
Snakes will shed their skin as long as they swallow the spiritual grass. The skin of the small golden snake can be used as medicinal materials, and even the saliva can be refined into an antidote. However, it is very poisonous. After being bitten by it, you will die in seven steps.
.So it is also called the seven-step snake. Moreover, it is not easy to catch it. The little golden snake is usually very fast and often disappears. It will only become slow to react when it swallows the spiritual grass."
Murong Xi explained to Feng Mingye.
"It turns out that Xi'er wanted the skin of the little golden snake. I thought I wanted to kill the little golden snake." Feng Mingye said.
"What I want is not the skin of the little golden snake, but its blood. Of course I won't kill it, I just want to take a few drops of blood." Murong Xi explained.
Xuan Liangyue said to Murong Xi: "Tomorrow you have to remove the poison for Ru Shi, and I will come over. If I can remove the poison for her, you don't have to do it."
Murong Xi nodded, believing that even if Xuan Liangyue couldn't cure the poison, he would still be able to help her.
After Xuan Liangyue got up, she continued: "Go to bed early tonight. The little golden snake will finish shedding its skin early tomorrow morning. By then, you can take blood."
After Xuan Liangyue finished speaking, he stood up and left the backyard.
Because Murong Xi was poisoned and could not take a bath at all, Feng Mingye had no choice but to ask Mo'er to fetch water and wipe Murong Xi's face. After helping Murong Xi lie down, Murong Xi said: "I'll go to bed first, and you go take a bath."
After changing your clothes, let’s go to bed early.”
"Yes, I understand." Feng Mingye covered Murong Xi with a quilt, then turned around to take a shower and change clothes.
By the time Feng Mingye came back, Murong Xi had already fallen asleep. In order not to disturb Xi'er's rest, Feng Mingye leaned on the sofa beside her.
