Chapter 20 Box
While waiting for the pharmacy hall, Ou Peng reluctantly picked up the last small box that seemed to be very ordinary. He was even more looking forward to it. In just a short cup of tea, he saw the person he had spent the first half of his life. I have never seen a treasure before. I wonder what kind of treasure is in this box. Is there anything more magical than longevity pills?
The box felt cool and heavy. Ou Peng put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. The whole box was integrated. He didn't know what material it was made of. There seemed to be no trace of a lid. He didn't know where to open it. Ou Peng tried all four sides, pulling it up and pressing it down, but it didn't work. You can't bite it with your teeth, right? Ou Peng secretly laughed at himself, put the box back on the table, and then called everyone to come forward and take a look.
Everyone stood around and watched for a long time. The fourth and sixth children also stepped forward and tried several methods, but they didn't work. Zhang Chengyue frowned and said, "Master, is it possible to use a key or something like that?"
Lao Liu rolled his eyes at him and said: "Master nephew, if you want to use a key, you must have a keyhole. There is no lock on this box, and there is no secret lock or anything like that that can be seen? How can it be used?"
Zhang Chengyue blushed a little and stood there without refuting.
Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing had seen this box in the secret place before, and Wen Wenhai had tried to open it. Seeing that neither the master nor the uncle could open it, they did not dare to come up with new ideas. Xue Qing, on the other hand, looked at himself. I was very interested in the box I won with rock-paper-scissors. I even shook it to my ear to hear if there was any sound inside, but unfortunately it had no effect.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Bai Dong, the leader of the pharmacy hall, and He Yunpu, the elder, arrived at the meeting hall. After meeting the leader and everyone, Zhang Chengyue took them to the square table where the medicine was placed. The reaction of these two people was beyond everyone's imagination. It's not that they were not surprised, but that they were too surprised. It was seen that the eyes of the two people had not moved since they saw the contents of the package. Their footsteps seemed to be on the ground and they could not move even half a step. They were pointing at the medicinal materials, their arms were trembling, and their mouths were dripping with tears. , almost to the ground.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, the two of them came back to their senses. They didn't care about the laughter of the people watching their embarrassment, and said to themselves: "This is a ginseng that is more than six hundred years old. This is a ginseng that is more than six hundred years old." Years of Tianqi, this is the four-hundred-year-old Tianjing, this? The seven-hundred-year-old golden thread grass? Yes, it is exactly the same as recorded in the "Grass Code". What about this one? I am not dazzled, am I? Thousand-year-old beheading Dragon grass? How is it possible? However, the roots are mostly in the shape of thin cords and curved. The stems are upright, solitary or clustered, with vertical fine lines, hairless or with slight white hairs at the apex, and many branches on the upper part. The leaves are dark green above, The color below is lighter; the leaves at the base are stalked, oval-elliptical, with blunt or sharp serrations on the edges. They have silver teeth for centuries and gold teeth for millenniums. This... these golden side teeth, my God, I don't have them. Dream on." Hall Master Bai said as he slapped himself hard on the face. Then, I just sucked in the pain.
Another elder, He Yunpu, also muttered the name of a medicine that no one could understand, with a look of disbelief on his face. Finally, he picked up a medicinal material that was as big as the palm of his hand and said, "What is this? A cactus?" Bai Tang The Lord said: "That's nonsense. It is recorded in the Cao Dian that the cactus has thorns. Did it prick your hand? That's a thorn plant."
Elder He was not happy either and said: "The "Cao Dian" says that the fish hand is in the shape of three fingers, but this one clearly has four."
Hall Master Bai took a closer look, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, I don't know. There are still these remaining fourth and fifth grade medicinal materials that I haven't seen before. I just don't know if they are recorded in the Cao Dian." ?”
Elder He also squinted his eyes and thought carefully, and nodded in agreement: "I don't know, I have learned too little, I have learned too little."
Ou Peng interrupted in time and said: "Hall Master Bai, Elder He!"
This sentence startled the two of them, and they realized that they were in the meeting hall, not the apothecary hall where they usually discussed knowledge.
He quickly handed over to everyone: "I feel so happy to see so many good medicinal materials. I can't help myself. Please forgive me, the leader and everyone."
Everyone returned the courtesy and said it was okay.
Ou Peng said: "Two gentlemen, what are the values and functions of these drugs?"
Elder He said: "The gang leader doesn't know where to get these rare medicines? The varieties of ginseng, Tianqi, Tianjing, Polygonum multiflorum and other medicines are quite ordinary, but the age of these medicines is really shocking. Those that have been around for hundreds of years are extremely It's rare. The worst of these are actually three hundred years old. Golden thread grass, ophidium gallica and other herbs are good medicines for treating external injuries. Snake grass, coral grass and stone wind medicine are holy medicines for treating internal injuries. Others They are all rare medicinal materials, and when combined with other medicinal materials, they are formulated according to the principles of monarch and minister and the principles of yin and yang. It must be a good thing at first sight."
At this time, Hall Master Bai woke up and said hurriedly: "Gang Leader, the place where these things were found must be kept strictly confidential. The dragon-killing grass and peacock grass among them are the main medicines that can be used to refine power-increasing drugs such as Yiqi Dan. Ah, it is recorded in our Miao Miao classics." This sentence made everyone's ears perk up.
Ou Peng said: "Is there any record in the classics on how to refine Qi Yi Dan?"
Hall Master Bai said: "No, the formula of Yiqi Dan has long been lost. What is recorded in the classics are only some similar elixirs with limited efficacy, and the required drugs are extremely rare."
Ou Peng said: "Master Bai, take these medicinal materials to the apothecary and study them first. What are their effects? Also, take a detailed look at the formulas of pills similar to the Yiqi Pill. Be prepared. Maybe... …”
Ou Peng hadn't finished what he said. Hall Master Bai had already understood it and immediately said: "I will obey the gang leader's instructions."
Then he and Elder He carefully held the package and left the meeting hall. Ou Peng then ordered Zhang Chengyue to deploy more people to the pharmacy for protection.
After Hall Master Bai and Elder He left, Ou Peng sat back in his chair.
His eyes fell on the small box on the table that couldn't be opened by any means. After thinking about it, he still ordered Zhang Chengyue to call Hall Master Shigu Kunshi of Shenji Hall. This Shenji Hall is where the Miao Miao Sect refines weapons and hidden weapons, and Hall Master Shi is the master of forging weapons in Pingyang City.
Not long after, Shigure Kun came to the meeting hall. He observed the small box for a long time and used various methods, but he was still unable to do anything.
However, he hesitated for a moment and asked Ou Peng in a tentative tone: "Gang leader, let me see, why don't you let Shi Niu come over and give it a try?"
This Shi Niu is a tough guy from the Piao Miao sect who trains the Vajra Hand. His kung fu is not very good, but his strength is top-notch. In addition, he specializes in the Vajra Hand. In terms of strength alone, he is the best in the gang.
Shigure Kun's words wake up the dreamer. A box is just a container for storing things. In order to obtain the things in the box, it is good to keep the box intact. If you cannot keep the box and open it skillfully, then you have to use violent cracking. . Being able to get something in the end is the way to go.
Shi Niu also came to the meeting hall. He was a tall and strong man, standing a head taller than everyone in the hall. He was covered in strong muscles. Seeing his honest and innocent smile, Ou Peng didn't say much. Just hand him the small box and give him the command: "Open."
When Shi Niu received the box, he didn't say much. He used both hands to pry it open from the middle of the box, but the box didn't move at all. Immediately afterwards, Shi Niu put the box on the ground, took a deep breath, and moved his Qi Luck Dantian. His arms suddenly became much thicker, and the fingers on both hands were thicker than before. Then, Shi Niu shouted loudly, staring at the box with his eyes. , slapping the box hard with both hands, only to hear a muffled "pop" sound, and the pair of palm-leaf fan-like hands smacked the box. The box was not smashed into pieces as everyone imagined, but was flatly smashed by the stone cow. Photographed into the stone slabs on the ground floor of the Assembly Hall.
Shi Niu took out the box that had been patted into the stone slab, looked at the intact box, scratched his head, and looked at the gang leader, who looked innocent and depressed. I thought: "What is this?"
After sending Shi Niu away, Ou Peng himself became depressed. What should he do with this box?
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he took out the hanging sword from his waist, but then inserted it back. The remaining people in the meeting hall also had bright eyes, knowing that the gang leader had thought of a good way to open the box. Zhang Chengyue didn't even wait for Ou Peng's instructions, and said to Shigu Kun: "Don't you still have a 'water cut off' in Hall Master Shi's hall? Why not give it a try?"
Shigure Kun glanced at Ou Peng and saw that the gang leader had no intention of objecting, so he said, "Gang leader and everyone, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
Not long after, Shigure Kun came back holding a sword with a simple scabbard. He said to Ou Peng: "Gang leader, let me try it first."
Ou Peng nodded in agreement.
Shigure Kun took out the knife from the scabbard and saw that the knife was not as shiny as other knives. Instead, it had a dark blade surface. Occasionally, light reflected from the blade surface was a bit dazzling, like black lightning.
Shigure Kun raised his knife and tentatively chopped at the corner of the box. The box didn't respond. Then he took a deep breath, raised the "Shui Shui" again, pointed it at the corner of the box, and chopped with all his strength. Go down.
However, there was no clicking sound as everyone imagined. In fact, there was no sound at all, just like the knife cutting on cotton. The box was still there without any damage.
Ou Peng glanced at Shigure Kun, who was about to slash again, and said, "Give me the knife."
Ou Peng took the knife handed over by Shi Yukun and placed the box on the ground in the small slot that the stone cow had just photographed. Then, the color of Qi Luck Dantian on his face kept changing until it changed to the sixth time. Just when he stopped, the fourth and sixth men next to him looked envious. They all said in their hearts: "Senior Brother, the master's ethereal magic skill is so profound. He has already practiced it to the sixth level."
Ou Peng raised the "Broken Water" and injected the inner energy into the blade. The entire blade was no longer as dark as before. Under the injection of Piao Miao Magic, the color actually changed. Then, Ou Peng gave a loud shout and opened the knife to the box. Cut it off.
