Zhao Man'er took this ancient medical book in her hand and flipped through a few pages, but they were all blank. She quickly read a few more pages, and it was still the same.
"Grandpa, what's going on?"
The old pharmacist smiled mysteriously and said, "Come and see." As he said that, he put his hand on the blank page of the medicine book and stroked it gently.
Zhao Man'er remembered that her grandfather had rubbed the cover of this book just now. At that time, she thought he loved it very much and was reluctant to give it to her. Now it seems that her grandfather is doing something very secret.
She looked carefully at her grandfather's palm and saw a faint blue light flashing between the palm and the paper. After rubbing his palm up and down several times, clear writing gradually appeared on the blank paper.
"Grandpa, how did you do this?"
"I had to do this as a last resort. This book is really important. If someone else discovers it, the consequences would be disastrous. So, to be on the safe side, I worked hard to prepare a medicinal solution and wash it with
If you put it on the paper, the writing on it will disappear. Anyone will think that this is a wordless book. When you want to read it, you have to apply another liquid on your palm. The temperature of your palm is just right for the second time.
After a medicinal solution temporarily fails in less than half a quarter of an hour, you can see the writing."
"So that's it. Grandpa, you are so smart." Zhao Man'er stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the medicine too!"
The old pharmacist shook his head and said, "No."
"Why not? Are you being stingy again?"
"This book is too important. For absolute safety, I can only let you read it here for one night. You can remember as much as you can."
"Grandpa!" Zhao Man'er was a little reluctant, but seeing her grandfather's resolute attitude, she had no choice but to sit down and start memorizing it from the first page.
The words in this book are obscure and difficult to understand, most of them are unheard of, and many of them seem to be contrary to common sense, like a fantasy. Zhao Maner does not have time to understand them one by one, so she can only write them down first before talking about them.
After Zhao Maner finished memorizing one page, the old pharmacist turned out a page. It took him a whole night, until dawn, to finally memorize the book.
The old pharmacist asked: "How many did you remember?"
Zhao Man'er remained silent, closing her eyes and recalling every page and paragraph of text in her mind.
"Actually, it doesn't matter how much you remember. The key is that you don't remember wrongly. If you remember wrongly, big things will happen in the future."
Zhao Man'er remained silent. After a quarter of an hour, she finally opened her eyes, her eyes full of smiles, "Grandpa, I have written it all down."
"What? Have you... written it all down?" The old pharmacist's eyes widened.
Zhao Man'er nodded heavily and said, "I have remembered everything."
"Let me test you!" The old pharmacist neither believed it nor felt reassured. He was really afraid that she would remember it wrong.
The old pharmacist randomly checked a few pages, and Zhao Man'er could memorize every page word for word, including some of the strange shapes, and she could also draw them with a pen, without missing a beat.
The old pharmacist smiled like a flower blooming on his face and said happily: "Girl, you really surprised grandpa. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that God would not stop me and give me someone to succeed me." As he said that, his eyes were filled with laughter.
There were tears all over.
The old pharmacist took the book in his hand and clamped it between his two palms. A burst of green smoke rose up and burned the book.
"Grandpa, why..." Zhao Man'er asked with wide eyes.
"Now that you have memorized it, what is the use of keeping it? It is safest to keep it in your heart. Girl, you must remember this book at all times, even if your medical skills are
Even if you are brilliant, you can't say that your medical skills come from the "Wai Jing", otherwise, even grandpa won't be able to protect you."
Zhao Man'er nodded solemnly and said, "I will definitely remember it."
"You have to study this book carefully. As long as you understand it by 10% or 20%, it will be of great help to that boy Medi."
Zhao Man'er seemed to have had her thoughts revealed, and she looked a little embarrassed. The reason why she worked so hard to learn medical skills was because she wanted to help Mo Di.
The old pharmacist didn't seem to notice Zhao Man'er's emotional changes, and continued: "More importantly, we may have a chance to defeat that person and rescue your parents."
Zhao Maner's heart was filled with waves, "Mom, dad?" Although she had never seen her parents, she had shouted these two words in her heart thousands of times. "Mom, dad, where are you?"
Tears flashed in Zhao Man'er's eyes, and she said to her grandfather: "I can do it, I will definitely do it."
******
Today is the day when Mo Di and King Xiang agreed to go to the Qin Mausoleum together.
Mo Di was already ready. He was dressed in white clothes, with his hair hanging casually on the back of his head. He exuded a mature and capable aura, which was far beyond his actual age. Although in the past few days, he has been almost in a hurry.
I kept refining my spiritual core. Not only did I not feel tired at this time, I felt an indescribable sense of joy all over my body.
Yang Zi was still dressed in black and had a black gauze mask, so cold that people dared not approach him.
Zhao Man'er hid the mysterious porcelain bottle that her grandfather gave her with her body, and also carried a small bag with a lot of self-defense and healing elixirs in case of emergency. In addition, there was a living thing in the bag.
Heizi. If you leave it alone at home, I don’t know how many of Grandpa’s bottles and cans you will break.
King Xiang sent Cao Kun with chariots and horses to pick him up. Mo and Di all rode fast horses and followed Cao Kun straight to Qin Ling.
The Qin Mausoleum is a hundred miles southeast of Xianyang City, south of the Wei River and north of the Li Mountain. It is a rare geomantic treasure land. In less than half a day's journey, Mo Di and others arrived at the Qin Mausoleum.
Although Mo Di had seen the phantom of the Qin Mausoleum from the great wizard, when he actually stood in front of the Qin Mausoleum, he was still shocked by the scale and majesty of the Qin Mausoleum. The entire mausoleum was surrounded by tall and thick walls, and there were continuous palaces inside.
You can't see the edge, and its size is comparable to Xianyang City.
King Xiang's army has surrounded the entire Qin Mausoleum. The soldiers are densely packed, with a hundred thousand people, but in an orderly manner. Except for the sound of flags waving and the snorting of horses, there is no sound. There is a nervousness in the chest.
atmosphere.
King Xiang's tent was set up on a nearby hill, and Mo Di and others rode up to it.
"Master Mo, I'm waiting for you. Today you can see the might of our Chu army." As soon as Mo Di came to the tent, King Xiang greeted Mo Di.
"Your Majesty has a good command of the army. I have long heard that the soldiers of the Chu army are brave and good at fighting. Today I can have an eye-opener." Mo Di flew off his horse and entered the tent. Zhao Man'er and Yang Zi also followed him into the tent.
King Xiang glanced at Zhao Man'er and Yang Zi without any special reaction. He looked ahead and said: "It will be three quarters at noon, and we will start to attack."
"Attack?" Mo Di was a little confused. In fact, he had doubts in his mind when he saw so many troops just now, so he took this opportunity to ask clearly, "Your Majesty, we just want to enter the Qin Mausoleum, why do we need so many soldiers?
"It seems very strange to launch an attack on a mausoleum.
"The Qin Mausoleum is much more complicated than you and I imagined. The mausoleum that Emperor Qin built throughout his life is itself a very well-defended city that can withstand an army of 100,000 people. It is no less difficult to break than Xianyang City.
You'll see it later."
Mo Di still had some doubts in his heart. He looked at Yang Zi and then looked at the grand mausoleum of Qin Ling. The soldiers of the Chu army were ready and waiting for orders.
"Send the order, attack!" King Xiang gave the order, Cao Kun waved his hand, and a ball made of condensed spiritual energy flew into the sky, exploded in mid-air, and resounded for dozens of miles around.
When the soldiers of the Chu army, who were ready to prepare, heard the order, their horses brayed, and the huge team, like a huge machine, began to move forward, and the whole earth trembled.
Some of the small beasts that were originally surrounded between the army and the city wall were so frightened that they screamed and fled in all directions. Many of them were trampled to pieces by war horses.
"Ah, there is a child over there!" Zhao Man'er exclaimed and pointed forward.
Everyone looked in the direction Zhao Maner pointed and saw a child chasing a dozen sheep.
The area near the Qin Mausoleum is too dark and few people come here, but the water and grass are abundant and the little boy often comes here to herd sheep. He arrived here today before the army came. When he saw so many people and horses, he was so frightened that he hid the sheep nearby.
In a small ditch, he wanted to wait until the Chu army and horses left before leaving. But the Chu army surrounded here and refused to leave, so he was so frightened that he hid in place. Just now the army started to attack, and the sheep were frightened and ran away.
When he came out, the little boy chased after him.
Everyone looked at this child. It was a pity that such a weak child could not hide even if he wanted to in front of the advancing army. He would definitely die.
The little boy was halfway through the pursuit, but he was facing the Chu army again, jumping and waving his hands, as if he was saying something, but he was drowned in the sound of thousands of troops and could not be heard at all.
King Xiang just glanced at it and turned his attention to Qin's mausoleum in the distance, no longer paying attention to this matter.
Mo Di was worried. This was a human life. He was about to be buried under the hoof of the horse. He couldn't bear it, so he bowed to King Xiang and asked for an order: "Your Majesty, please give an order to stop the advance of the army. Don't hurt the child's life."
.”
King Xiang frowned and said, "Master Mo, if military orders are inconsistent, you will lose military morale."
"But that's a human life?"
"I have asked the wizard to predict that the Qin Mausoleum and even the Land of Yin must be attacked at three o'clock at noon. If we stop at this time, we will violate the destiny and our success will be in vain." King Xiang will never sacrifice the life of a child.
influence the overall situation.
"Mr. Mo Di, what should we do?" Zhao Man'er was so anxious that the child was about to be overwhelmed by the army.
Mo Di's heart skipped a beat when he saw a well-dressed horse not far away. He stepped over in a few steps, jumped on the horse's back, tightened the reins, and whipped the horse's butt hard with the whip. The horse neighed.
With a sound, the smoke rushed down the hillside and ran towards the army. (To be continued)
