Liu Xiu couldn't help but grunted and swallowed again. From last night to now, he had sweated a lot, but he hadn't even drank a sip of water. Now he felt like his throat was about to smoke.
He lowered his head and sniffed the liquid in the jade bottle. It was indeed very fragrant. The aroma was not strong, but it had a refreshing feeling. He couldn't help but lick a little bit. It was sweet and had no peculiar smell.
Liu Xiu did not hesitate, raised his head, and drank all the liquid in the jade bottle. He played with the empty jade bottle in his hand and felt that his throat felt much better.
Just when he was about to put the small jade bottle back on the stone table, suddenly, his body seemed to be on fire, and everything from his throat to his belly seemed to be burning.
Liu Xiu, who had such a tenacious temperament, could not help but scream in pain. The small jade bottle fell from his hand and fell to pieces. He staggered back a few steps, leaned on the cave wall, covered his stomach with both hands, and his whole body was burning.
Trembling with pain.
Everything in front of him began to become blurry, and the world was spinning. Liu Xiu couldn't hold on any longer, leaned against the cave wall, and slowly slid to the ground.
A scalding heat surged out of his belly and rushed to his whole body, and he couldn't help but spit out blood.
The scary thing is that all he spit out was black liquid, and it had an unusual fishy odor.
Liu Xiu couldn't sit still on the ground, fell sideways, and curled up into a ball.
He secretly smiled bitterly. He escaped the barbarian ambush, escaped the barbarian pursuit, and even escaped from the barbarian lair. However, he died due to accidentally taking poison from unknown centuries ago. This is simply too ironic.
.
At this time, he thought of many people. He thought of his eldest brother, Long Yuan and others. He wondered if they had escaped from Qianyou Mountain. He thought of his eldest sister, second sister, second brother and younger sister. If they knew that he was dead,
, it will be very sad, especially for my little sister. She has been very dependent on herself since she was a child...
Liu Xiu's consciousness became increasingly blurry. Gradually, his vision turned pitch black and he could no longer see anything. His whole body seemed to be plunged into chaos.
He was in coma for an unknown period of time. When Liu Xiu woke up again, he felt as if he had been asleep for several years.
He slowly opened his eyes. It was dark outside, and it was even darker inside the cave. But what surprised Liu Xiu was that he could see everything clearly in the cave, even the grass stalks that fell on the ground.
, he can see the leaves clearly.
Liu Xiu tentatively sat up from the ground. He felt that there was no discomfort in his body. On the contrary, his whole body was comfortable and relaxed. This feeling was like he had been living in constraints for the past sixteen years, and now he suddenly broke through these constraints.
, breaks out of the cocoon.
He subconsciously wanted to rub his eyes, but when he raised his hands, he suddenly discovered that his hands were black. Liu Xiu was startled, and instinctively wiped the back of his hands.
With this wipe, a layer of something similar to black oil was removed, which was sticky and smelled bad. Liu Xiu almost felt sick and vomited, and jumped up from the ground.
But what Liu Xiu didn't expect was that with this jump, his whole body seemed to fly, and his head directly hit the roof of the cave.
With a muffled thud, Liu Xiu fell heavily to the ground again.
He lay on the ground and didn't feel much pain. He slowly closed his eyes and felt the changes in himself.
It was not as simple as being comfortable and transparent. He felt as if there was endless strength in his body. He stood up again and walked to the stone table in the center of the cave. He lowered his head and looked at the stone table. He estimated that it must be at least two to three hundred years old.
Heavy, Liu Xiu rubbed the black oil on his body carelessly, then grabbed the two edges of the stone table, and lifted it up with force. Hearing a roar, the stone table was lifted by him forcefully.
stand up.
This time, Liu Xiu himself was so shocked that his face suddenly changed.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly put down the raised stone table and touched his back shoulder first, then his lower back. The two original arrow wounds were miraculously healed.
What on earth is going on? I obviously passed out, but when I woke up, how could such a big change happen? Not only can I see the night as day, but I also have amazing strength. I guess I can compete with my elder brother now.
.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Liu Xiu spotted the fragments on the ground. They were the fragments of the small jade bottle that he had smashed. His heart moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the fragments one by one.
The only explanation for such a big change in his body is that it has something to do with the bottle of water he drank. Unfortunately, the small jade bottle was broken, and the remaining liquid in it was dried, leaving not a drop left. Even if Liu Xiu wanted to study it, he couldn't do it.
He placed the fragments of the small jade bottle on the stone table one by one and sighed softly. He thought that what he drank was a bottle of poison, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a panacea that could improve the human body.
Liu Xiu picked up a bamboo slip again. He still couldn't understand the words written on it. He shook his head, put the bamboo slip back on the stone table, and rearranged it. Then he looked around and walked to the stone bed.
Come near, kneel and kowtow.
He didn't know who dug this cave, let alone who lived here before, but he did know that the owner of this cave saved his life.
Not only did it save him from drowning at the bottom of the lake, but the bottle of elixir he left behind helped him reborn, as if he had been reborn.
Now he finally knew what the foul-smelling black oil on his body was. It was probably the impurities excreted from his body after he was reborn.
He couldn't find the owner of the cave, so he could only kowtow to the stone bed to show his gratitude.
Now he doesn't have time to stay here any longer. In the battle of Ganyou Mountain, an army of more than 10,000 people was dispersed by the barbarians. He didn't know whether the eldest brother and the others were alive or dead. He had to rush back to the county as soon as possible to confirm that the eldest brother and the others
Case.
After bowing to the stone bed, Liu Xiu stood up and looked at the bamboo slips on the stone table. He wanted to take it, but then he thought, it would be useless if he took it. No one could understand the words on it.
.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu walked to the entrance of the cave, peeled away the grass and vines outside the door, and looked out. Only then did he realize that the entrance of the cave was not at the foot of the mountain, but halfway up a cliff, at least a dozen meters from the ground.
10 feet tall.
Liu Xiu frowned secretly. He didn't dare to jump from such a high place, but he was asked to return along the original path and dive into the lake in the valley. He couldn't help but shiver. The small lake in the valley,
It's simply a nightmare.
He thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed a vine and pulled it. It felt quite strong. He used the vine as a rope and climbed down bit by bit along the vine.
After crawling for a while, he realized that not only had his strength become stronger, but his body was also many times more flexible than before. He could jump over a grass vine that was so far away and grab it firmly with just one jump.
In the past, it would have taken Liu Xiu a long time to climb down from such a high place, even if he had the courage. But now, he climbed down the cliff smoothly without much effort and stood at the foot of the mountain.
What Liu Xiu didn't expect was that he didn't take away the bamboo slips placed on the stone table because he couldn't understand the words on them. His move made him a successful person.
One hundred years later, a man entered the cave by chance and obtained this bamboo slip.
Liu Xiu thought that no one could understand the words on the bamboo slips, but he was wrong. This man did understand it and realized the great truth from it.
This person's name is Zuo Ci, and this bamboo slip is the "Nine Alchemy Gold Liquid Sutra" which became famous in the Three Kingdoms period. The bottle of liquid Liu Xiu drank was the gold liquid that was not successfully refined.
.
‘Among the nine elixirs, the golden liquid is the best. Those who drink the golden liquid will have a purple-gold color, stand up with wings, and ascend to heaven as an immortal official.’ - "Nine Elixir Golden Liquid Sutra"
The bottle of gold liquid that Liu Xiu drank can only be regarded as a fake, or an unsuccessful semi-finished product.
But even so, its effect can be described as wonderful. It can cut bones, cleanse marrow, and regenerate people. Now Liu Xiu's physique is greatly different from ordinary people.
As for the characters engraved on the wall of the cave, it is the word "Tianzhu", and later the mountain was named Tianzhu Mountain.
Of course, these all happened more than a hundred years later. How could Liu Xiu know about it now?
He raised his eyes to look at the night sky, and now even the stars in the night sky became brighter in his eyes. He used the Big Dipper to identify the direction clearly, and was about to take a step, but then he thought about it and took back his step.
The barbarians in the valley were so brutal that they must not be left here. Thinking of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but clenched his fists.
In the past, he would have never dared to enter the barbarian's lair alone, but now, he felt that there seemed to be endless power in his body, which gave him the courage to fight the barbarians.
Furthermore, even if he couldn't defeat the opponent, he could still escape. He felt that with his current foot strength, no barbarian could catch up with him.
Liu Xiu followed the roots of the mountain and didn't go far before he saw the long and narrow canyon. He passed through the canyon and came to the valley.
The barbarian tents are still there, but it can be seen that the barbarian army is not here, and the entire valley seems deserted.
In order to detect the truth, Liu Xiu bent down and ran to a tent as quickly as possible. He gently lifted the curtain and looked inside.
Sure enough, the camp was empty, with no one in it. Liu Xiu checked several more nearby camps, and they were all empty like the one just now.
The barbarian army is not here, then...
Suddenly, Liu Xiu remembered Feng Yi's previous analysis. The purpose of the barbarian army was not to hide in Qianyou Mountain, but their real target was the county town. Could it be that the main force of the barbarian army was attacking the county town?
At this point, Liu Xiu took a breath of cold air. After the battle at Ganyou Mountain, the county and city's troops suffered heavy losses. Now is the time of weakness. If the barbarians take advantage of the weakness, the county and city will be in danger!
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly stopped hearing the sound of yelling not far away. Liu Xiu was shocked and hurriedly crouched down and hid in the shadows. Then he stuck his head out slightly and looked for the sound.
