The night is quiet, with the moonlight shrouding the mountains and forests like smoke. In Xuanhu Manor, the door and window of a study room are closed, and the curtains are also drawn, making it airtight. The light shines through the window, and you can see it hundreds of meters away.
The light everywhere.
Ling Xiao sat in front of the desk, with the "Huang Di Wai Jing" on the table. He stared at it depressedly, and it faced him motionless. People and books seemed to be a pair of enemies, and one wanted to find something in the book.
A secret, but one that he was not allowed to understand.
"What kind of secret is it? And where is it hidden?" Ling Xiao held his chin and stared at the "Huangdi Apocrypha" in front of him, muttering to himself, "It can't be an ancient treasure or something.
That's too ridiculous? It can't be some civilization relic left by aliens? That's too outrageous? It can't be...your sister, what on earth is it?"
Secret, secret, secret...
Ling Xiao now hates this word the most.
In the afternoon, after escaping from Hu Lin's home, he kept himself locked in this study room to study the "Huangdi Wai Jing". He was still studying it until everyone else fell asleep.
During this period of time, he read the contents of "Huangdi's Wai Jing" twice more. However, just like he had read it hundreds of times before, he was familiar with the contents, and this time he could not
He found something unusual. In addition, he also checked the cover of "Huangdi's Foreign Canon" several times, inside and out, and there was nothing suspicious. So, where did the secret go?
Time passed quietly under Ling Xiao's eyes, one minute, ten minutes, one hour...
"Could it be related to the Yin Yang Ring? Do they need to be combined to unlock the hidden secret?" For a while, such an idea suddenly appeared in Ling Xiao's mind, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart.
The yin and yang ring left by Xuan Jizi is still a mystery, and Ling Xiao has never been able to solve it, but this does not seem to prevent it from being used as a tool in some form to unlock the secrets in the "Huangdi Wai Jing".
But how can you use a ring to decipher the secrets of a book? There are no examples to learn from in this regard. After thinking about it, Ling Xiao began to try various methods. He gently rubbed the ring surface of "The Yellow Emperor's Wai" with the ring surface of the Yin and Yang Ring.
He licked the paper on the Huang Di Wai Jing with his tongue, and after the saliva wet the paper, he used the ring surface of the Yin and Yang Ring to touch the paper.
; He endured the burning pain, heated the Yin and Yang Ring with a lighter, and then touched the paper of "Huangdi's Foreign Canon"...
His imagination took off like a winged Pegasus. No matter how absurd and weird the idea was, he would try it. If one idea didn't work, he would immediately change to another one. He never tired of it, and he was going crazy.
Another hour passed...
"Why...why can't it work?" After all the conceivable ideas failed, Ling Xiao cursed angrily. He grabbed the "Huangdi's Foreign Canon" fiercely and prepared to throw it out.
The hand holding the "Huang Di Wai Jing" was raised high above his head, with a look of indignation and eyes full of grief and indignation. At this moment, he was like the revolutionary hero who sacrificed his life to blow up the bunker. However, in the end, he failed to put the "Huang Di Wai Jing" in the air.
Sutra" fell out. He couldn't do such a thing. He thought of Xuanjizi's eyes full of expectation and everything he had today. For him, the "Huangdi Foreign Canon" left by Xuanjizi
"It's like a piece of land for him to take root and sprout. It's his foundation. How can he destroy his foundation?"
"What am I doing? Forget it, maybe this is Master who deceived Mu Wanyin. If there is really any secret, why didn't he tell me? I'd better take this kind of thing lightly. I'm now
I'm living a pretty good life, what else am I dissatisfied with? I am so persistent in deciphering a secret that does not exist. Isn't this asking for trouble? Haha..." The knot in his heart opened, and Ling Xiao couldn't help it.
He laughed, laughing at himself for being lost in thought.
Just as he slowly put down the "Huangdi Wai Jing", his eyes suddenly stopped at the corner of the "Huang Di Wai Jing". That was the lower left corner of the book. There were some signs of wear, but that was not the point.
What he had in mind was the binding of the book. A section of the binding of "Huangdi's Foreign Canon" fell out, and the threads also showed some signs of unraveling.
Books in the old days did not have staples, let alone today's advanced glue binding. They usually punched holes in the paper and then bound it with binding thread to form a book. Some of these binding threads are ordinary sewing thread, and some are relatively simple.
Strong beef tendon thread, but whether it is sewing thread or beef tendon thread, if their thread ends are spread out, they must be thinner fibers, but the spread out thread ends that Ling Xiao saw have no fibers.
, it is like paper that has been twisted into a rope and then spreads out after letting go.
It was obviously not the commonly used sewing thread or beef tendon thread. Ling Xiao, who was curious, handed it to his eyes for a closer look. Soon he discovered that it was indeed a thread made of paper. Moreover, it was not
Ordinary paper is made of a very special material and has strong toughness.
The secret must be inside this rope made of twisted paper.
Ling Xiao's heart was filled with excitement. He carefully pulled out the paper rope little by little. The paper rope that was pulled out was two meters long. He spread it on the desk and opened it little by little. The opened paper was about a foot long.
There are text and patterns on the left and right widths of the paper.
After taking a quick look, Ling Xiao was shocked.
The content recorded on the paper is the content of refining a pill called "Laisheng Pill".
There are three types of pills in the "Huangdi Wai Jing", namely the Small Disease Pill, the Big Disease Pill and the Huisheng Pill. Ling Xiao has long learned the refining methods of these three pills, and he has always thought that among these three pills, the Huisheng Pill is the best.
It is extremely difficult to refine the high-end pills, but once they are refined, they have the effect of resurrecting the dead. However, after reading the content on the paper rope, he discovered that the resurrection pills were not the most high-end pills. This kind of "rebirth pills"
That's it.
The content recorded on the paper string is far more than the three pills of Small Disease Pills, Serious Disease Pills and Huisheng Pills combined. It is also more complicated and more difficult to refine.
"Afterlife pill? Why is it such a strange name? It feels...as if taking this pill will have something to do with the afterlife. Afterlife, afterlife, isn't that what people who are about to die talk about? Isn't it?
Is this medicine used to euthanasia the patient? So it cannot be found in the "Huangdi's Foreign Canon", but it is hidden in the paper rope binding the book?" Questions emerged one after another, filling Ling Xiao's head.
Although he couldn't understand many things, he was certain of one thing, that is, if this "Laisheng Pill" was an ordinary pill, it would definitely be recorded in the content of "Huangdi's Foreign Canon" instead of being used as a pill.
It's hidden in this way. On the contrary, if someone hides it in this incredible way, there must be a reason and purpose.
The answer lies in these contents and illustrations. Ling Xiao couldn't wait to read it, ponder it, and study it.
"The 'Yin Yang Paste' is made from Tai Sui, tiger bones and deer antler, and the 'Ling Paste' is made from Xiao Bian Wan, Da Bian Wan and Laisheng Wan, and is also made from ginseng, snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, licorice, mulberry root, Poria...
'Baicao ointment'. The three ointments are combined into one, mixed with internal force, and baked in a medicinal cauldron...The obtained product is 'Laisheng Pill'..." Ling Xiao was also secretly surprised as he watched and memorized it. He didn't expect it.
This kind of Laisheng Pills not only uses the extremely rare medicinal material "Tai Sui", but also small disease pills, serious disease pills and Huisheng Pills! Moreover, there is also "Baicao Ointment" at the back, which is literally hundreds of kinds of medicinal materials.
And some of them he had never heard of, they were very unpopular!
Whether this kind of "Laisheng Pill" is complicated or not can be seen just from the medicinal materials required. Ling Xiao broke into a cold sweat when he looked at those medicinal materials. A Huisheng Pill is already difficult enough, but he didn't expect it.
There is a fourth kind of pill in the "Huangdi Wai Jing", and even Huisheng Pill is just one of the hundreds of medicinal materials needed for it!
So, what is the use of this "afterlife pill"?
Ling Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart and read on. Finally, his eyes stopped on a line of text - People in this world can borrow the power of the next life.
Ling Xiao was stunned for a long time, thinking about this sentence over and over in his mind, and finally he laughed, "Isn't this feudal superstition? This life and the next life are religious terms, and medicine has never mentioned the afterlife.
.According to this sentence, doesn’t it mean that I can use my power in my next life now?”
Can a person borrow power from the next life?
Let's not talk about whether this is possible. I'm afraid that if you say it, everyone who hears it will sneer. That's right, who would believe such a thing?
Ling Xiao doesn't really believe that this "afterlife pill" can really borrow the power of the next life, but he also believes in "Huangdi's Wai Jing" and Xuanjizi. "Huangdi's Wai Jing" has no false content, and Xuanjizi is indeed true.
He is indeed a strange man who lived for more than 150 years. Looking at this issue from this perspective, could the content of the "Laisheng Pill" hidden in the "Huangdi's Foreign Canon" be fake?
Ling Xiao continued to read, and his eyes fell on the last paragraph of text - This medicine is against heaven and against heaven and Taoist people, so it is hidden. If you see it, you can't refine it.
Can't be refined? Ling Xiao is surprised, can't be refined and still keeps it?
"This must be the secret that master leaked that could shock the whole world. Now it seems that the reason he didn't tell me this secret is probably because of this 'cannot be practiced'?" Ling Xiao's heart was filled with ups and downs, and it was difficult to calm down.
It was fine that this secret had not been discovered by him, but now that he had discovered it, would he give up just because he said it could not be practiced? No.
Outside the window, the wind sounds, frogs chirp, and the moonlight sultry.
In the room, Ling Xiao was hunched over his desk, taking a pen and paper and copying out all the contents on the paper string. In the process of copying and drawing pictures, he also memorized the names of the medicinal materials and figured out the refining steps, bit by bit.
Understand it thoroughly, study it step by step...
This work lasted until dawn. The sun shone in through the gaps in the curtains, and golden spots appeared on the floor. Ling Xiao, who had finished packing, came to the window, opened the curtains, and opened the window. He
I saw Zhou Jun, who was standing in the corridor, and nodded to him.
Ling Xiao smiled and looked far away. The factory area of Shennu Pharmaceutical came into view, bathed in golden sunlight, with a majestic tension.
"Perhaps, this kind of 'Laisheng Pill' will make Shennu Pharmaceutical take off rapidly! And I will master the secret that will shock the world!" Ling Xiao secretly thought in his heart, feeling very excited.
Could this be an opportunity? He didn't know.
Could this be a problem? He didn't know.
This secret is like Pandora's box. Who knows what the result will be until it is opened?
