Between mountains and seas

Chapter 151 Mushroom Hot Pot

"It's all here" is really a golden phrase, anyway, after Shao Jingxing said this sentence, Su Zheng didn't say a word, and everyone sat down in a friendly manner again, each with a piece of ear rat meat.

"Eat it." Du Weiping had already calmed down the churning feeling in his stomach, and urged others gloatingly, "Actually, the taste is not bad, and I swallowed it as soon as I closed my eyes. And I think it's effective, a little changed."

Shao Jingxing moved the piece of meat away from his hand, and before he could speak, he saw that Gu Rong had already thrown the piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it carefully a few times, seemed to taste the taste, and then swallowed it.That expression is calm, as if eating some kind of ham sausage.

"Why, how is it?" Shao Jingxing swallowed subconsciously, very suspicious that Gu Rong's tongue might not be very good.

"You can try it." Gu Rong said simply, looking at Bai Xin.

"Try what?" Shao Jingxing was at a loss.He was asking how Gu Rong tasted, which was not the answer.

But Bai Xin obviously understood what Gu Rong meant, and pulled out a bag from his backpack: "Then you guys should try this."

"Mushrooms?" Shao Jingxing stretched his neck, and saw that what Bai Xin took out was a bag of dried mushrooms, divided into ten small bags, and each bag looked different.

"Yunnan mushrooms." Bai Xin took out a small packet, "This one is the least poisonous, and it's the one that will make people dance after you eat it. Try it, and if you don't respond, then eat other ones. Let's take it step by step. "

Shao Jingxing never knew that the word "step by step" could be so cruel, because eating only 50 grams of the most poisonous mushrooms in these ten packs is enough to kill an adult.

Then...then a burst of fresh fragrance wafted from the fire, yes, the mushrooms in Yunnan are really fragrant.

"Didn't you bring any other mushrooms?" Shao Jingxing stirred the soup in the pot with a spoon, "For example, matsutake, chicken fir, and bamboo fungus, all of them are delicious!" Only green hands are too few up.Although it is delicious to see green hands...

Bai Xin rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Do you think you're here to eat Baijun hot pot?"

Shao Jingxing stirred the soup again: "Isn't it?" Isn't this similar to hot pot?

Bai Xin was choked by him, watching the boiling soup in the pot and also fell silent.

Yes, what is cooking in the pot now is the bag of poisonous mushrooms she brought. It was originally used to verify whether the ear mouse meat is effective—although the effectiveness of the ear mouse meat is recorded in the book, it still needs to be verified, otherwise in case The record was wrong, and it was only when it was time to use it that it was found that it could not resist poison. Isn't that a joke with everyone's life?

But now—well, ear mouse meat is indeed effective, just eat it in one piece, Gu Rong and Du Weiping tried ten kinds of poisonous mushrooms, and there was no abnormality, which proved the ability of ear mouse meat to "resist all kinds of poisons" ——These ten kinds of poisonous mushrooms cover nerve type, hemolytic type, gastrointestinal type, liver damage type, and respiratory failure type toxins. Basically, the common types of poisoning are included. The so-called "hundred poisons" are actually Most of them can't get out of this range.

So, the remaining poisonous mushrooms were used to cook soup, and ear mouse meat was put into the soup—of course, the fire used to cook the soup was Shao Jingxing's, and the ear mouse meat was first roasted and then stewed, so The stinky smell is gone, replaced by a chicken-like fragrance, plus these mushrooms, it is simply a famous dish in Northeast China with chicken stewed mushrooms.

"It's a pity that the side effects of this ear mouse meat are too great..." Shao Jingxing sighed a little, "otherwise you only need to eat a piece, and you can eat any mushrooms in Yunnan." Mom no longer has to worry about me getting poisoned by eating mushrooms!

Bai Xin shook her head, quite speechless for foodies like Shao Jingxing: "Actually, it's not just ear rat meat, many things have side effects." She lowered her voice a bit, "One of the ideas of the Gonggong faction is to use these There are exotic animals and plants with medicinal effects, but firstly, it is difficult to obtain them, and secondly, although they are effective, they also have side effects. Even those that seem to have only advantages but no disadvantages, it is hard to say... After all, this cannot be done on a large scale. large-scale clinical trials."

Shao Jingxing immediately thought of the unqualified Xuncao Yangyan Pill: "It's because of the power of mountains and seas..."

"Yes. People with supernatural abilities can still bear it, but it's hard to say how ordinary people will react." It may trigger supernatural abilities, but other reactions are more likely.

"Then, it's like nectar or something, and it also has side effects?" And the Ganoderma lucidum he has seen before, isn't it said to be the best thing?

Bai Xin shook her head slightly, and asked, "The best? Does the best medicine have no side effects?"

Shao Jingxing couldn't help scratching his head, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I remember a kind of five-color dew. "Dong Ming Ji" records that Dongfang Shuo was once taken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and given to all the officials. Those who got the dew tasted it, and the elderly were few. , all diseases are healed. Doesn’t this count?” This doesn’t sound like any side effects.

The records of Wuselu are quite detailed. It is said that Dongfang Shuo once visited the land of Jiyun—what is the land of Jiyun?It is because the clouds in that place can be used for divination. If there is something auspicious, the five-color clouds will rise all over the room, and when they attach to the grass and trees, they will become five-color dew, which tastes quite sweet.

This sounded delicious, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked curiously, "Can you try it?" Then Dongfang Shuo went to get it, and it was served in a glass vessel, with colors such as dark yellow and blue.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only tasted it himself, but also rewarded a group of ministers. The effect is just like what Shao Jingxing said, "the elderly are less, and the diseases are all cured", which sounds really good.

Bai Xin obviously had a different opinion: "Since there is such a good thing, why didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty live a long life? Speaking of which, apart from King Zhou Mu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the emperor with the most "fairy adventures" in records." Right? But he only lived to be 70 years old, let alone being inferior to Qianlong, even Kublai Khan and Zhao Gou, isn’t it a waste of these ‘adventures’?”

"That's right..." Shao Jingxing always thought that Bai Xin was a taciturn person, but he didn't expect that when he spoke, he was very eloquent, comparable to Ji Xiaojiu.

"Not only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also his ministers who tasted the five-color dew, have not seen any rejuvenation. Moreover, if there is such a magic medicine, wouldn't Emperor Wu of the Han beg for Wei Qing? Why is Wei Qing still under the age of 50? Passed away, obviously the five-color dew is not so miraculous."

Shao Jingxing couldn't help but glance at Bai Xin again, thinking silently: Is this telling a fan story?Sure enough, when it comes to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, do we have to talk about Wei Qing?I don't know if there is really a fairy medicine, whether Emperor Wu of the Han would take it himself or give it to Wei Qing...

Of course, fan stories do not prevent Bai Xin's analysis from being reasonable, and Shao Jingxing also thought about it seriously: "If the records in "Dong Ming Ji" are reliable, then the five-color dew is indeed effective when taken..." After all, the records Li said in a very affirmative tone that "the elderly are less, and the diseases are all healed".

But after that?The damn thing is still dead, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't live a long life. Although 70 years old was considered a long life in that era, it really seemed a little sorry for the reputation of Wuselu.In particular, Wei Qing did die too early.

The same person belongs to the same person, the relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Qing is indeed beyond doubt. If there is five-color dew, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will not not give it to Wei Qing, then Wei Qing will die before the age of 50. Obviously, this medicine is of no use for prolonging life.

Shao Jingxing thought for a long time and came to a conclusion: "That is to say, five-color dew can stimulate cell vitality, so it can cure diseases and make people look younger, but..." According to modern theory, the number of cell divisions depends on telomeres The length of the body, when the length of the telomere remains constant, the more active the cell division ability is, the faster the telomere will be consumed...

"So the life expectancy is shortened instead?" Shao Jingxing was a little horrified by his conclusion.

"It's just possible." Bai Xin hesitated to speak.The cells of supernatural beings are naturally different from those of ordinary people, but the principle is generally the same. After all, supernatural beings are not out of the category of human beings.Therefore, the power of mountains and seas also has an impact on supernatural beings, but it is not as obvious as it is on ordinary people.

There were some things that Bai Xin wouldn't say to Shao Jingxing, after all, her friendship with Shao Jingxing hadn't reached that level yet, so she left the fire after saying a few words, and turned to look for Su Zheng.

"You mean, ear rat meat is also harmful to us?" Su Zheng was still patrolling around, and the leopard that Gu Rong dragged just now had been identified as Meng Ji.This thing should be on the Stone Mountain in the north of Danxun Mountain, but now it appears here, which proves that the inside of the enchantment has indeed begun to become a sieve, so Danxun Mountain is not so safe, maybe something else will escape Come on.

"Everything with the power of mountains and seas will inevitably have an impact on the human body." Su Zheng didn't pay much attention to Bai Xin's words, but felt a little strange, "Didn't you already know this?" To be more precise, this is Bai Xin She has always maintained that even though she awakened the ability to heal, she always felt that when she used the ability to heal ordinary people, there might be side effects.If the ability is like this, let alone the strange animals and plants in the world of mountains and seas.

Bai Xin kicked him lightly: "I mean, for low-level supernatural beings, this kind of influence will be greater." Those who are capable, while the low-level ones are basically doing logistical work.Take Gu Sheng for example. Although he is the leader of the third "action" team, he himself does not enter the world of mountains and seas, because although his abilities are special, they are of a lower level.

Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood: "You mean Gu Rong?"

"You understand..." Bai Xin sighed, and motioned him to lower his voice so that Gu Rong could not hear him, "A supernatural level like him shouldn't come at all." Ear mouse meat can resist all kinds of poisons , I am afraid that no one can predict what kind of side effects such a powerful ability will bring. In terms of Gu Rong's ability level, it will have a greater impact on him!

In fact, it's not just about eating rat meat. The power of mountains and seas in the world of mountains and seas is already filled everywhere, so when Gu Rong enters the world of mountains and seas, he will be affected all the time.

"So he must have come here by himself against the rules!" Su Zheng was a little annoyed, "Why didn't you just say that? You should drive him back!"

"No!" Bai Xin was also speechless to his elm head, "He must not have come here privately, otherwise what would the green clam blood talisman say? I mean, knowing that his ability level is low, Gu Ke Why did you let him come?"

Su Zheng almost said the words "take credit", but fortunately he controlled himself in time.Gu Sheng would never do favoritism just because he wanted to take credit, even if Gu Rong was his son!And now Gu Rong actually belongs to the second group of action, even if he takes the credit, it is for the second group, and it has nothing to do with the third group of action under Gu Sheng's original jurisdiction!

If not for credit, then why?Wouldn't it be Gu Rong to experience the power of side effects?Is this your own son?

Su Zheng realized that his mind was really not suitable for thinking about this kind of question, so he could only ask Bai Xin, "Why do you say?"

"I don't know either!" Bai Xin gave him a blank stare, knowing that it would be useless to discuss with him, but it's really hard for her to tell others about this speculation, "I just think, maybe Gu Ke thinks , Gu Rong is of great use."

"His predictive ability?" Su Zheng thought, "It's probably considered."

"Definitely not!" Bai Xin vetoed him with one sentence, "Otherwise he would have been put in the team from the very beginning, and he wouldn't have come here again until now. I'm sure it must be Gu Rong After we set off, we challenged Gu Ke again, and Gu Ke thought he would be useful, so he agreed to come with him."

Su Zheng was really impatient to guess like this: "Go ask Gu Rong and you will know?"

"You elm head!" Bai Xin finally pulled his ears bitterly, "If Gu Rong knew, he would have said it when you squeezed him just now. If he didn't say it, it proves that he didn't know. Or— ——His usefulness is very special, so I can’t say it now. Anyway, no matter what it is, if you ask him now, there will definitely be no answer.”

Su Zheng rubbed his ears, and muttered in a muffled voice: "Then what's the use of guessing now..."

"What did you say!" Bai Xin tugged his ear again, "This may be a very important matter! Otherwise, Gu Ke would not let Gu Rong take part in the action at the risk of being eroded by the power of mountains and seas!" What's more, this time The action has been planned very thoroughly, and Gu Rong's predictive ability is actually not very necessary.

"But after all, it's still useless..." Su Zheng covered his ears, "If it's really useful, you'll know when the time comes—I said, is the soup ready? It smells delicious." , let’s have dinner first, and continue to move forward after dinner, before it gets dark, we can get that blank land.”

If it wasn't for the toadstool hot pot—no, it was the ear mouse meat and mushroom soup, it was indeed delicious and mouth-watering, and Bai Xin would have to pull Su Zheng's ears off.

A group of people gathered around the fire to share the soup, and even Du Weiping couldn't help sighing, "It's great that Xiao Shao is here..."

Holding a bowl of soup, Zhuang Juan sighed, "Little Huo is so lucky..."

Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing's tricks, now anyone with eyes can see it. Of course, some people can't accept it, but after all, they are his colleagues, and no one will say anything in person.Zhuang Juan didn't care about this, so he sighed like this - he is so blessed. He also entered the world of mountains and seas. Others ate unpalatable beef and fish meat or raw ear rat meat. Huo Qing brought Shao Jingxing, just Being able to drink mushroom broth makes a huge difference!

Huo Qing had just received the soup that Shao Jingxing served him. Looking at the large piece of roasted meat in the soup, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Instead of answering the question, he spread out the map instead: "Since the effectiveness of ear rat meat has been verified now, , then let’s set off immediately after dinner, before dark, we have to go to that blank land, and observe if there will be any special changes there after dark according to the plan.”

He spoke seriously, but everyone present had good eyesight. Who hasn't seen the corners of his mouth that can't help but turn up?People like Du Weiping who are already married, and people like Su Zheng Baixin who have their own hearts are fine, but single dogs can't bear it a bit.Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes directly, and even the teasing Zhuang Juan himself was a little bit choked on the dog food, secretly hating himself for opening his mouth like that.

But what Huo Qing was talking about was serious business, so everyone had no choice but to wash down the bowl of dog food with broth, ready to leave after eating.The blank space on the map really made people feel uncertain, so according to the plan, they had to observe it first, and would rather waste some time there than wait for unforeseen problems to arise after stepping in.

However, at this time, the people holding the dog food did not know that someone had already appeared in that blank space.

Of course, the so-called blank land does not refer to an empty flat land. It just has never appeared in the Shan Hai Jing. In fact, it looks like a lush forest, and it even looks a bit gloomy because it has been untouched for many years.

"Zhongshan is behind this forest?" The speaker was wearing a black tights, and he looked like a shadow that shouldn't appear in the sky. This was Hidemi Fukui.

Masao Komatsu stood beside Fukui Hidemi. He habitually set up an awning and looked into the woods for a while, then frowned: "Mr. Fukui, don't underestimate this forest. The situation inside should be very complicated. Not far."

Indeed, although it is now afternoon outside the woods, the sun is bright, and even the branches of the surrounding trees can be seen clearly, and even the moss growing in the gaps in the bark are bathed in the sun, but the woods seem to be filled with The fog is so thick that even with the eyesight of a supernatural person, they can only see a dozen meters away, and the depths are covered by the fog.

"There is miasma in this forest." Fukui Hidemi laughed, "Don't worry, Komatsu-kun, I have seen these things a lot during training, and I have already prepared antidote pills here." He was quite concerned He proudly took out a few wax pills and distributed them to the people next to him, "Put this pill in your mouth, and you don't have to worry about miasma."

"Mr. Fukui is better to be cautious." Qi Tongmin came from behind, twisted the wax pills, smelled the dark green pills inside, and smiled: "The miasma here may not be the same as those in the woods on the uninhabited island. It's the same."

Fukui did his training on an uninhabited island at the beginning, where no one had set foot there for thousands of years, and the rotting plants and the corpses of poisonous insects formed an almost green miasma, and even the local wild animals did not dare to stay in the miasma for a long time.Fukui has always been proud of the fact that the ninja who can come out of there is one in a hundred.

Now Qi Tongmin's tone seems to be laughing at his proud experience, so why not make Fukui angry: "Mr. Qi is saying that my medicine is useless at all?"

"I dare not say that." Qi Tongmin shrugged and smiled softly, "I'm just afraid, what if Mr. Fukui's judgment is wrong and we are poisoned after we go deep into the woods?"

Fukui Hidemi gave him a hard look, and put a pill into his mouth: "Since Mr. Qi is so timid, let me go in and find the way first. When I find the way to Zhongshan , come out to pick up Mr. Qi!"
