Murong family’s treasure
Ye Feng's gaze changed, and curiosity appeared in his eyes.
Since Murong Bo was able to use miraculous methods to insert needles into Murong Xiaoyu's important acupoints and prolong the life of a patient with congenital cold veins for so many years, there is no doubt that the Murong family should be a family with a long tradition of traditional Chinese medicine.
This kind of traditional Chinese medicine family has a profound heritage, and the ancestral treasures must be extraordinary.
"I know that with your vision, ordinary things will definitely not be worthy of your attention, but this treasure will definitely satisfy you."
Seeing that Ye Feng was slow to speak, Murong Bo thought that he was complaining that the conditions he offered were not generous enough, so he hurriedly took out a wooden box from the bag in his hand, placed it in front of Ye Feng and opened it.
This is
The Murong family's treasure is actually a bowl? !
The wooden box was opened, revealing a jade bowl inside. It was lustrous and had no flaws at all, and looked very valuable.
However, no matter how valuable it is, Ye Feng feels that such a thing does not seem to be worthy of the words "ancestral heirloom".
"At first glance, this bowl seems to be just a little more expensive, and there is nothing unusual about it, but in fact it is very special."
As if seeing Ye Feng's confusion, Murong Bo explained with a smile: "This bowl was obtained by my ancestor by chance. If you use this bowl to hold the medicine, even if you leave it for a few months, it will not deteriorate, and the medicinal properties will be improved."
This bowl actually has such a miraculous effect
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this. After carefully examining the bowl, he felt that the effect of this thing sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of it for a moment.
"Not only that, this bowl has some more incredible effects. If you fill this bowl with water and put a goldfish in it, even if you don't feed it or change the water, the goldfish can live in it for a full month!"
At this moment, Murong Bo showed some pride again and said something even more incredible.
What?!
When Ye Feng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but frighten.
It is incredible enough that the medicine put in it does not deteriorate and the medicinal properties are improved; but putting a goldfish in a bowl, without feeding it or changing the water, and letting it survive for a month is even more incredible!
"What do you think? Can this bowl be considered a treasure?" After Murong Bo said everything, he smiled at Ye Feng.
"If this is not a treasure, then there is nothing in this world that can be called a treasure."
Ye Feng nodded, and then said to Murong Bo: "Old man, can you let me take a closer look at this bowl?"
Murong Bo was not a talkative person. After hearing Ye Feng's words, he handed the bowl to him.
This bowl...
After taking the bowl, Ye Feng immediately felt the warmth in his palm. What made him feel even more incredible was that when he held the bowl, he felt that what he held in his hand was not a dead object, but a living being.
Buzz!
Immediately afterwards, the mental power in Ye Feng's sea of consciousness buzzed, and he felt as if he was uncontrollably rushing into the bowl.
“This… This is…”
The moment this feeling arose, Ye Feng's eyes flashed and his heart began to beat wildly.
At this moment, he finally remembered why he felt that the effect of this bowl sounded somewhat familiar.
According to the records in the Medical God's Heart Sutra, Qi Bo not only wrote the Medical God's Heart Sutra, but also used his ingenuity to create several sacred instruments of traditional Chinese medicine for self-defense and preparation of medicines, such as the Broken Jade Pestle, the Mountain-Breaking Guillotine, and the Soul-Calming Bowl, while traveling across the country and through the wilderness.
These devices are extremely mysterious. Not only can they save lives, but they also have unfathomable powers.
But unfortunately, after Qi Bo's death, these instruments were scattered between heaven and earth. After a long time, they were either buried deep in the loess or crushed into dust, and have long disappeared.
When Ye Feng first read the Heart Sutra of the God of Medicine, he also had the idea of looking for these sacred artifacts of traditional Chinese medicine left by Qi Bo. But after thinking about it again, he realized that thousands of years have passed and even if these things existed, they would be like looking for a needle in a haystack and would be nowhere to be found, so he gave up the idea.
But what he didn't expect was that today he would see one of the holy artifacts, the Soul-Calming Bowl, in Murong Bo's hands.
The function of this bowl is roughly the same as what Murong Bo described. It can be used to store medicine, enhance the medicinal properties, and warm the vitality of the things in the bowl. However, the other most important function of the Soul-Calming Bowl is something that the Murong family has not discovered.
The reason why the Soul-Calming Bowl is called the Soul-Calming Bowl is, as the name suggests, because it is related to the soul.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human heart stores the spirit, the lungs store the soul, the liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the intention, and the kidneys store the will. In short, they are called the five internal organs.
These five treasures are the human spirit, the human consciousness, and the foundation of human life in the world.
The function of the Soul-Calming Bowl is that it can store a person's soul and spirit in the bowl and keep it warm.
In this way, even if the body decays, the soul will be immortal and incorruptible. If a suitable body is encountered, the soul can be invested to continue the life of the previous life and complete it with a brand new body.
Such means are unpredictable and have reached the level of transcending life and death.
However, according to Ye Feng's judgment, this soul-calming bowl should not be the authentic one left by Qi Bo, but a replica.
Otherwise, the goldfish in the bowl would not die after one month, but would at least be able to survive for a few years.
However, even though it is a replica, it still has some of its charm. It may not be able to restrain the human spirit, but it is definitely good in nourishing mental power and saving lives.
"How about it, are you willing to accept the conditions I offer, use this treasure as an exchange, and help me save the little fish?"
Murong Bo asked urgently.
Murong Xiaoyu was born with a cold meridian. Although it was suppressed by the needles, it would relapse sooner or later. According to his judgment, the time of relapse should be very close.
The needles inserted into the body do not cure the cold meridians, but suppress them.
Once the disease relapses, it will be like a flood that breaks through the dam and cannot be controlled.
By then, there will be only one outcome waiting for Murong Xiaoyu, and that is death.
"This thing is already a treasure, why are you willing to exchange it?"
Ye Feng did not give a direct answer, but asked Murong Bo curiously.
Although this soul-soothing bowl was only a replica, its effect was still extraordinary. Anyone who possessed such a treasure would keep it secret and study it carefully. It was hard to understand why Murong Bo was willing to take it out for exchange.
"This bowl has been passed down in my Murong family for six generations, but the efforts of six generations have not been able to unlock the secret hidden in it. We can only put it aside and worship it. Rather than letting the pearl gather dust, it is better to use it to do something more meaningful."
Murong Bo smiled upon hearing this, then held Murong Xiaoyu's hand and said, "And for me, there is only one treasure in my Murong family, but it's not this bowl, but Xiaoyu! What treasure can compare to her?"
"I accept this deal!"
Hearing the voice, Ye Feng smiled with relief, and then nodded without thinking.
Just as Murong Bo said, treasures in the world are dead, but people are alive!
No matter what treasure it is, it is not as important as the life of the person you care about!
