Chapter 105 One Ten Wu's Medicine of Immortality

Two hours later, A Tianli came back, still twirling the dagger in his hand, as if he couldn't put it down, and said to A Tiangu: "The patriarch has promised this matter, so you will go to Yuanqiu Mountain early tomorrow morning. Immediately leave Taodu Mountain for the medicine of immortality, there must be no mistakes."

The third prince and others were overjoyed after hearing this, and thanked them again and again.

A Tianli said again: "It's also a coincidence. This time I went to the patriarch to intercede on behalf of my brother, but the patriarch flatly refused as soon as he heard the intention, and refused to agree. Later, seeing the dagger in my hand, I borrowed it out of curiosity to try it out. Back, cutting the mutton to be sacrificed, I only said that the utensils made of pig iron were extremely sharp compared to the stone knives used by my family, so I felt relieved. I told him that you brought back a lot of things from Fangwai this time. Although we don't know its name, it is quite practical. There are many people in the tribe who are interested in this thing. After hearing this, the patriarch Fang slowed down his attitude, I believe you miss the tribe; And killing the fierce bird with his hands, Mr. Daofeng, is considered to be a meritorious service to our clan. If you don’t ignore it and don’t repay it, it’s not like ruining the reputation of our clan before outsiders. The patriarch only agreed to this matter after hearing the words..."

A Tian heard alone A Tianli's narration of the incident, and admired A Tianli's persuasion method: "This time, thanks to my dear brother's astuteness, my stupid brother is really inferior!"

This matter is established, everyone rests for a day, eats and drinks enough, and recharges their batteries.The next day, A Tiangu personally led the way and led the third prince and others to Yuanqiu Mountain.

To the north of Taodu Mountain in Wuqi Kingdom, there is a river called Heishui, and to the east of Heishui is a place called Liusha, and that Yuanqiu Mountain is located between Heishui and Liusha.There is a spring at the foot of the mountain called Chiquan, and the legendary immortal tree Ganmu does not grow in a hundred places, but on Yuanqiu Mountain.

This time, the three of them rode a good steed all the way through the mountains and rivers, passing through the place where the people of Wuqi lived together, and headed towards the northern part of Taodu Mountain.The three of them first searched for the red spring at the bottom of the mountain. After searching for a while, they also found several mountain springs. However, the water from these springs looks the same to each other, and they don't know which of them is called the red spring.

When he was at a loss what to do, a thought came to Yun Yong's mind, and he couldn't help blurting out: "If Mr. Yukan is still here, just summon the mountain god of Yuanqiu Mountain to inquire, and the truth will come to light, and everything will be safe..." At this point, Just remembered something, changed the subject hastily, bowed and cupped his hands to the third prince, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't intend to bring up Mr. Yu Kan to touch His Highness's heart..."

The third prince shook his head when he heard the words: "You don't have to blame yourself, since he is not here this time, we have to rely on ourselves, and there will always be a way to find out where the red spring is."

Then the third prince asked A Tiangu if the Chiquan had other characteristics, and A Tiangu said: "Because the people of the despicable country can bring the dead back to life without using the medicine of immortality, not many people in the Sui clan know about the medicine of immortality. My lord I have consulted the ancient books handed down by the family, and the records in the ancient books are only a few words, and there is no detailed description of the characteristics of Chiquan..."

Seeing that A Tiangu didn't know the details, the third prince was a little annoyed and didn't know where to start. At this time, he heard the taciturn person who was all the way all the way suddenly said: "Although I don't know the details, I heard that Chi The spring lives up to its name."

After hearing this, the third prince pondered for a while, and said: "Since the spring is as its name suggests, it must have the distinctive features that fit the word 'Chiquan'. We just need to investigate carefully, and I think we will find something."

After the three of them ate some dry food on the spot, it was the time when the golden crow was hanging down, the third prince remembered Mr. Xing's words just now, and wanted to go to some nearby springs to check again.There are three springs at the foot of Yuanqiu Mountain, which are located in the west, southwest and south respectively.This time, the three of them were near the spring in the southwest. They went to investigate for a while, but they still didn't find anything unusual, so they had to abandon this place and turned to the spring in the west.This time, they only looked at the spring water from a distance, and the three of them exclaimed in alarm: "This is Chiquan, there is no doubt about it!"

I saw the golden light of the sunset in the west, and Yuxia cast on the spring water in the west, and the red stones at the bottom of the spring water complement each other, making the spring water red and dazzling, like red silk and satin, which is the origin of the name Chiquan.Afterwards, the three of them thought about it for a while. They only said that they had never seen the red color of Chiquan spring when they came here. Although there are red stones at the bottom of the spring, the spring water has no color at all. If it is not for the projection of sunlight, it will not show this color. Such a strange scene, so only when the sun slanted to the west, the red rocks at the bottom of the spring and the sun hanging down from the west reflected each other, did it present such a strange sight that could only be seen by chance.

Seeing that Chiquan was found, the three of them were all overjoyed. The third prince immediately turned to Mr. Xing who was following him and praised: "Mr. Sell ​​fine wine for Mr. to drink freely."

Hearing the words, the scorpion had a very contented expression on his face.

Then the third prince took out the kettle and poured Chiquan spring water into the kettle.After the matter here is over, the three of them led their horses up the mountain.It is recorded in ancient books that Ganmu only grows on the sunny side of Yuanqiu Mountain, but no trees grow in the shaded place.The sweetwood is clustered, with knots, purple skin, leaves with a thick white midrib, the stems are peeled and edible, and contain sugar juice water, hence the name Ganmu.

This time, the three of them climbed along the Nanshan Mountain to the top of the mountain. When they reached the middle of the mountain, they saw a large area of ​​sweet trees growing in clusters.A Tiangu pulled out the dagger from his body, cut off a section of sweetwood, peeled the skin and tasted the stem, only to find that the juice was unusually sweet, Fang said to the third prince with a smile: "That's right, this tree is exactly sweetwood."

The third prince was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately pulled out his dagger and cut off two sweetwood stems, segmented them into sections, put them into cloth bags and took them away.And because the tree is a sacred tree, I dare not be greedy, so I only take a few sections.

Yun Yong said from the side: "The water of the red spring and the stem of the sweet tree have been obtained, and the trip went smoothly. It can be seen that His Highness is blessed by heaven."

The third prince was also filled with emotions when he heard the words, he only said that bringing people back to life was against the heavens, it was extremely difficult and extremely difficult, and it was probably because of the pity of the heavens that they found the medicine of immortality so smoothly this time.Thinking this way, the three of them were waiting to return along the way they had come. Before they took a few steps, they heard a voice behind them, saying:

"Stop, who are you waiting for? What is the purpose of taking the water from the red spring and the stem of the sweet tree?"

The three of them were shocked when they heard the sound, and hurriedly turned their heads, only to see a strange looking beast with a pig's body and snake tail and eight legs behind them. , I don't know if your Excellency is..."

The beast replied: "This seat is the mountain god of Yuanqiu Mountain. For thousands of years, it has been guarding this holy tree and holy water here."

Hearing this, the third prince immediately explained: "It was originally the mountain god. I didn't know that the lord would come, so I hope you will forgive me for being rude. I am waiting to take the holy water from the sacred tree for saving people, not for anything else. I hope the mountain god will come." My lord has pity on human life, and I promise to bring him back to save the life of the person he loves!"

I don't want the mountain god to hear the words from the bottom of his heart, but said: "No, I have guarded here for more than a thousand years, just to guard the sacred tree and holy water here, and no one can take it away and use it arbitrarily."

After hearing this, the third prince was shocked: "My lord's intention is that I will never allow me to take the holy water from the sacred tree?"

The mountain god nodded: "That's right. Put down the holy water of the sacred tree, and I, Yun'er, will go down the mountain and return."

The third prince heard this resolutely, and hurriedly knelt down and begged: "This time, I would like to ask the Lord Mountain God for mercy. I have heard that the heavens have the virtue of good life, and the emperor of heaven is also happy about life and not happy about death. I am asking for medicine, and it is only to save people." Its destiny is not for other things... Besides, the holy water of the sacred tree also nurtures the people of Wuqi in Taodu Mountain, so that the country can last for thousands of years and live endlessly. Therefore, the lower class also hopes to share the light of this rain and dew, and receive this blessing. ..."

At this point, the mountain god just explained: "Your words are different. The emperor of heaven ordered me to guard the sacred tree and holy water here. It is actually to protect the balance between life and death of all things in the world..."

The third prince was very surprised when he heard this, and immediately asked: "What does your lord mean by this?"

The mountain god went on to say: "The so-called balance between life and death means that there is a limit to life and death, and one should not violate its own laws and destiny; But it is hard to bear. If there is no restriction, all living beings will not scramble to snatch it when they hear the law of bringing the dead back to life, so that they will be greedy and try to revive their lives. People who should be dead?... just like what you mentioned just now, there is no country, no enlightenment Although the people of the country are nourished by the holy water of the sacred wood here, God has gifted them with the ability to resurrect from death like this. However, it is not without price. When God bestowed them with the power of immortality, they also deprived them of the ability to bear children. Therefore, there is no enlightenment If the people of the country suffer absolute death, they will not be able to be resurrected, and the number of people will never increase...God is using this to maintain the balance between life and death in the world, so that the life and death of all creatures are orderly and endless..."

After the third prince heard this, Zhi Yi pondered for a while, then resolutely raised his head, looked directly at the mountain god and said: "Heard what your lord said, if you can not destroy the balance of life and death, you can pursue the resurrection of the dead, as if there is no one who can start the country." Like that?"

The mountain god was very surprised when he heard this, and then asked back, "What do you mean?"

The third prince replied: "Since it is to maintain the balance between death and life, it means that there is life and death, and life and death are in an orderly manner. It cannot be life without death or death without life. Therefore, if I wish to resurrect a person this time, I need to exchange one life for one." Fate, so that the rules of life and death will not be violated..."

The mountain god nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly what it means. If you want one person to be resurrected, you need the other to pay for it. Only in this way can life and death be orderly."

At the side, A Tiangu and Yun Yong didn't understand the meaning of the third prince. After hearing this, they felt ominous in their hearts: "What is your highness' intention?..."

Only to hear the third prince say again: "In this case, I would like to exchange my life for the medicine of immortality!"

A Tiangu and the two of them were shocked when they first heard this, and hurriedly said: "This is what His Highness intends to exchange one life for another? Do you want to sacrifice your own life in exchange for the resurrection of Master Yi Kan?"

Yun Yong said again: "Just praying for the medicine of immortality, why does Your Highness have to do this?"

Hearing the words, the third prince turned to Yun Yongdao: "The world has its own laws that cannot be violated, and so is life and death. These laws are to maintain the survival of everything in the world. If you violate them easily, the balance will not exist, and everything will not exist. This time, too, it must be complied with.”

Yun Yong said: "Your Highness's words are very true, but even if you want to exchange one life for another, how can Your Highness sacrifice easily? He ordered his subordinates to sacrifice their lives in order to revive Lord Likan!..."

Unexpectedly, the third prince shook his head and said to each other: "I was the one who killed him at that time, and it was I who owed him his life; all the promises I have not fulfilled in this life will be my life, to taste his love!..."

This time, A Tiangu also said: "This is a matter of life and death, Your Highness needs to think twice!"

The third prince shook his head when he heard the words.

At this moment, a voice was heard suddenly, saying: "Your Highness, you must not commit suicide, I have a method..."
