Chapter 889: The Bad Habit of Fetishizing Things (Part 1)

While asking questions, I was completely awake...

No matter what, this so-called Holy Spirit must have been taken care of by us.

So next...

I looked up at Zhao Yuanzhu.

Fortunately!!

I didn't see any signs of viciousness in the other party. On the contrary, the other party had a very complicated expression. He was looking at the bloody thing on the ground with a strange look. I couldn't tell whether it was sadness or sympathy.

This made me relax a little, thinking that it seemed that Wushuang and I were judging each other with a villain's heart, but I didn't feel guilty. In such an environment, trust is actually quite a luxury, and it can only be achieved through trust.

Maybe you can live longer by thinking about others with the most vicious thoughts.

Immediately, Zhao Yuanzhu's light voice sounded in my ears: "As you can see, it is just like this."

As he spoke, the blood spilled on the ground quickly turned black and filled with an astonishing stench. The smell was like the sewerage of a large animal that had been exposed to the sun for a long time. The roots connected to the human head quickly withered and rotted, and together with it,

As the sweet smell in the air disappeared, the roots of the ancient trees on the ground that extended here were rapidly losing moisture and became like hay.

I'm not surprised by this, I can even say that this was what I expected.

Everything here is maintained by this evil thing devouring flesh and blood. Now that it has been killed by Wushuang and I, everything here should naturally return to dust and earth. It is a place that should not exist in the world of the world.

It is only natural to disobey the rules of heaven and earth and disappear at this stage.

Compared with these, I want to find out the origin of this thing more. After all, it involves Yumin. I can't say that it has nothing to do with me. I thought hard and couldn't understand what Zhao Yuanzhu said, so I pointed to the withered rhizome in the soil: "I

I still don’t quite understand, well, this thing looks like a ginseng, a very big ginseng...could it be said that its essence is an old ginseng that has become a climate?"

"It is not ginseng. Compared with ginseng, it has a more famous name - life-saving grass!!"

Zhao Yuanzhu pursed her thin lips and sighed: "However, it can't be regarded as a life-saving grass if it looks like this now!"

Life-saving grass!!

I almost jumped up, this is not the first time I heard this name.

Long before we set out to come here, the old fox from the Hu family mentioned this thing, and said that there was a stick here. The so-called stick refers to the life-returning grass.

Later, we met some herb collectors who often collect herbs in Xiaoxing'an Mountains. They also mentioned Huanmingcao, and even swore that someone had really seen such a thing!!

However, compared to what the old fox and the herb collectors heard from hearsay, it was clear that Zhao Yuanzhu knew more about this thing. She seemed to have special feelings for this thing. When this thing died, she seemed a little melancholy and could not speak.

More and more, along with her somewhat confusing description, I gradually sorted out a lot of useful information, and everything that happened here gradually became clearer.

The royal secrets of the Zhao royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty clearly recorded that this rumored life-returning herb was most likely the elixir of immortality that Qin Shihuang was seeking!

From Emperor Qin to Han Wu, and later to Emperors of Tang and Song Dynasties, they all frantically searched for this kind of thing.

Over a long period of time, someone has indeed found it, and more than once, but every time... it ended without any success.

The most accurate one that only Zhao Yuanzhu knows is that during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, a herbal collector once cried to the mountains, wailing for medicine to save his relatives. Soon after, he encountered the legendary life-saving grass, but it was not true.

After seeing this thing, his original intention of saving his relatives quickly dimmed, and all he could think of was using the Life-Returning Grass in exchange for wealth. The Song Dynasty was prosperous, so he sneaked into the Song Dynasty and prepared to

Find a good buyer, but just before the deal is about to happen, your life is gone!!

Coincidentally, almost everyone who claims to have found the Life-Returning Grass ends up like this!!

They moved the mountains with their sadness, and lost their treasures because of their greed.

As for whether taking this life-returning herb can really lead to immortality, Zhao Yuanzhu has a negative attitude towards this. She even scorns the flesh and white bones of the living and dead, but this thing can indeed pull people who are only half alive from the door of hell.

, and allow them to be strong and live healthily for many more years.

This description reminds me of what the old fox said at the beginning - the life-returning grass, the life-returning grass, is everywhere but not everywhere. Good people will eventually be rewarded, and despicable people will never meet again.

"Actually, it's not that mysterious at all..."

Zhao Yuanzhu said expressionlessly: "The so-called life-returning grass is not a medicine at all. Its essence should be a very special aura bred by heaven and earth. This aura has no consciousness at all in essence. I even think it is very

The evil sect, in order not to disperse, will live in some spirits in the mountains. Under its influence, the appearance of those spirits slowly changes, becoming very much like vegetation.

Therefore, instead of saying that those who asked for medicine moved the mountains and the life-returning grass with their true feelings, it is better to say that they moved the spirit that was being inhabited, so the spirit willingly spit out the spiritual energy, and it was there

It does heal others to some extent.

However, after breathing out the spiritual energy, the spirit will die soon. At this time, the spiritual energy will find another place to live. Under its influence, when the spirit breathes out to save people, it will often be the same as the one who moved itself with sadness.

The two parties have negotiated in advance that after saving the person the other party wants to save, the other party will have to bear the responsibility of the container. It probably means that one life is exchanged for one life, which can be regarded as a kind of balance!!

This is why the life-saving grass behaves so strangely, because its essence is not a medicine, but a living thing. It may be a person or a spirit in the mountains. When it is moved by tragedy, it will

It will come out to save people, and when it discovers that the other party is up to something evil, it will find an opportunity to escape!!

That's the difference between reality and legend."

What she said sounded inexplicably familiar to me. When I thought about it carefully, a look of shock appeared on my face.

Because, I heard a very similar story!!

This story was also heard from a herbal collector. It is a story related to the life-saving grass, but the life-saving grass in the story has been extremely beautified and personified.

The story is very simple. It basically means that once upon a time, there was a child who grew up with his grandma. When his grandma was seriously ill, he ran to the mountains to look for the legendary Bangchui Girl, hoping that the Bangchui Girl could save his grandma. Later, he

When he lost his footing and fell down the cliff, he finally met this stick girl. He begged her to save his grandma, but she said that if he wanted to save his grandma, he would not be able to survive. No one would be here to guard this place in the future. The young man once again

Later, Bangchui girl couldn't resist the young man's pleading, so she had to agree. She went out to save the young man's grandmother, and the young man guarded that place forever instead of Bangchui girl.

This story is widely rumored among herb collectors, and more than one person knows it!!

Zhao Yuanzhu glanced at me and suddenly laughed: "Now you know who he is, right?"

She pointed at the mangled head on the ground.

I said harshly: "Don't tell me, he is the young man in the legend who sacrificed himself to save his grandma? In fact, there is no such thing as a stick girl. The one who saved his grandma was a spirit with special spiritual energy, and

In the end, he became the substitute for that spirit?"

In fact, there is no need for Zhao Yuanzhu to answer at all. I am 100% sure that this is the person in the surrounding legends!!

He should also be a Jurchen, but a Jurchen from a long time ago...

He kept calling Aijian, which is the name given to female elders...

In this way, all our experiences and encounters along the way will make sense!!

I licked my lips and then asked: "What about you...why would you..."

"Why wasn't I swallowed like everyone else?"

Zhao Yuanzhu suddenly turned around and said: "Because... the disease I have is exactly the same as Ai Jian's disease..."
