"It's still too dangerous, but there is no better way at the moment," Fei Xuan picked up the tea cup, "If we successfully find the Yin Chakra Dharma Plate, we must pass through it quickly, and we must not be delayed at all, destroying the Dharma Plate and killing the goddess. The matter will wait until we gather together and join forces to figure it out."
"Okay," Wu Dongfang nodded, "You don't have to worry about me. Are you sure about self-sealing?"
The three of them shook their heads slowly, and Fei Xuan said, "We are still human beings. We are no better than those monsters and ghosts. We cannot be truly sealed. There are only three ways to extend our lifespan. One is to take spiritual objects, but spiritual objects are not The divine object is just like the ground fat you swallow. It is said that it can lead to immortality, but its effect is only to prolong life, and it is rare to live forever. Another method is to freeze, but freezing needs to be frozen instantly, and it needs to be frozen afterwards. Keep the temperature low. If the temperature rises and the body is revived but cannot be awakened by external force, it will die completely. I feel that the only feasible way is to suspend death and sleep. There are many herbs that have this effect, but the effectiveness of these herbs cannot last long. It takes many years to find different species to get the medicine to be highly effective. In addition, it also needs a powerful medicine to enhance the potency. Four thousand years is too long, and as far as I know, no spiritual thing can last for so many years."
"Fake death? By the way, do you know about corpse ginseng?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Of course I know. Corpse ginseng is extremely rare. It collects the yin and evil of the cold water of rotting corpses, blocks Yang Qi, and shuts down vitality. Taking it can make people sleep and fake death. How do you know about this medicine?" Fei Xuan asked.
"The prince and I were traveling around the Fire Tribe back to the Jin Tribe. On the way, we found a large ginseng plant under a sinkhole. The prince said it was a corpse ginseng. According to the prince, the corpse ginseng can make people coma and cause serious illnesses. People with terminal illnesses will pretend to be dead for many days after taking it. At that time, I felt it was of no use, so I didn’t use it," Wu Dongfang said.
"Do you still remember where the pit is located that day?" Fei Xuan asked eagerly.
"Remember, that place is extremely remote, and the corpse ginseng must still be there." Wu Dongfang said. Judging from Fei Xuan's expression and tone, the corpse ginseng was very magical, and the prince was also eager to let him dig up the corpse ginseng. Come on, the prince is greedy for money. If this thing is cheap and common, he will not take it seriously.
Fei Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Go to the pit that day to see if the corpse ginseng is still there. If it is, don't dig it up. Just tell us the location and wait until we return from the west and find the medicine guide before we go get it." use."
"Okay." Wu Dongfang stood up from his seat, thought about it and disappeared with Tudun.
Before Tu Dun, he was thinking about which place in the south the sinkhole was closer to. Tu Dun appeared at an inn in the southern border of the Tu tribe. He had waited for the prince and Ming Yue here, and was also here. Met Qi Qi who was being chased while picking flowers.
Taking this place as a starting point, we quickly headed south. Half an hour later, we found the bamboo house where the prince lived. Although the bamboo house was dilapidated, it did not collapse. From here, we quickly headed west, and soon we found the sinkhole.
I leaned down and looked down. Due to the lack of rain this year, the water in the sinkhole was not deep. The carrion of the animal from back then had long since rotted and disappeared. However, the corpse ginseng was still there, rooted in the mud of the sinkhole, and its stems and leaves were much more lush than before.
After confirming that the corpse ginseng was still there, Wu Dongfang found four locating spirit beads in his arms, crushed them all, and fled back to the Tianshi Mansion in Xiadu.
Seeing Wu Dongfang's return, Si Ruo immediately informed the palace maids to serve the dishes and start the banquet. Wu Dongfang was afraid that everyone would give in to the order of seating, so he took the initiative to sit at the last table. Seeing this, the four people had no choice but to sit down casually, regardless of priority.
Before the banquet started, Wu Dongfang informed everyone about the situation of the corpse ginseng. Fei Xuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "This thing is useful. We only need to find a powerful medicine, and we can hope to spend years in suspended animation. When we wait, I will meet you again in four thousand years."
"I also have suitable medicinal primers." Wu Dongfang said. The medicinal primer itself has no medicinal properties. Its function is to strengthen the power of the medicine and guide the medicine to the lesion. Wine is the most commonly used medicinal primer, and everyone's situation is also suitable for using wine as a medicinal primer. Wine It has the effect of promoting blood circulation and can make the medicine reach all the limbs and bones.
Everyone turned to look at him after hearing what he said. Just as Wu Dongfang was about to speak, the team of palace maids bringing wine and food had already arrived at the door. There were eighteen dishes of meat and vegetables and five jars of imperial wine. It was relatively poor at this time, and there were many rules. Eighteen dishes, five jars of fine wine, was the banquet standard for the emperor to entertain guests. If the ministers and princes did this, they would be deceiving the emperor and commit a crime, and they would be whipped or even beheaded.
Si Ruo waved her hand and sent away the maids who were standing by. After all the outsiders left, Wu Dongfang grabbed the wine jar and poured wine for the four of them. "I have two bottles of Qianni Wine in my hand. They were given to me in July and eight years ago." , it is most suitable to be used as a medicine guide.”
Fei Xuan was overjoyed, "If it really is a thousand days of wine, everything will be fine."
"You can't be wrong. This thing has a lot of history. Just the smell of alcohol can make people drunk and fall asleep." Wu Dongfang filled the four people with wine, put down the wine jar and sat back down. The reason why he didn't explicitly say that Qianri Wine came from Dayu's tomb was because Si Ruo was here, and Dayu was the ancestor of Si Ruo and others.
"This saves us the trouble of searching." Fei Xuan felt relieved.
Wu Dongfang picked up the wine glass, and the four of them raised their glasses. At this time, they didn't say anything about clinking the glasses, and drank them directly.
Everyone had been hungry for a long time. At this time, the general context had been sorted out. The five of them put down their wine glasses and picked up their chopsticks to pick up the food. Si Shaokang, in order to express his respect and respect for Wu Dongfang, rewarded him with a dining table specially designed for emperors. The tabletop can be rotated, somewhat similar to modern turntables, but this kind of table is more reasonable than modern turntables. There are eighteen small turntables inside the large turntable, and there are gears between them. When the big turntable moves, Eighteen small turntables will also rotate. In this way, while moving the position of the dishes, the angle of the plate can also be rotated to ensure that the place where the second person puts down the chopsticks has not been touched by the first person.
"Where is Qianrijiu now?" Fei Xuan asked.
"At Ming Yue's place, I will explain it to her before I leave, and you can ask her directly for it then." Wu Dongfang said.
"Okay." Fei Xuan nodded in agreement.
"According to your estimate, how many people can use two bottles of Qiannijiu plus corpse ginseng?" Wu Dongfang pointed to the vase not far away, indicating that the bottle of Qiannijiu was similar to it.
Fei Xuan thought for a while and said, "Eight to ten people."
"As long as it's enough. You don't need ten people. Each person will increase the effect of the medicine to ensure that you can sleep for more than four thousand years." Wu Dongfang stood up again. When Xin Tong saw this, he stood up and took it from his hand. Wine jar, pour wine for everyone.
"It's a shame that you are still a holy witch of the Five Tribes, so you don't know anything about the art of Qihuang." Fei Xuan slowly shook his head, "Corpse ginseng is a poisonous thing, and it needs to be used carefully when used as medicine. It needs to be supplemented with medicinal ingredients to enhance the potency, and It is necessary to add heart-protecting and spiritual-protecting drugs to maintain vitality..."
"You mean this thing is poisonous and can't be used more than once?" Wu Dongfang interrupted Fei Xuan. It was already late afternoon, and the sun would set in two hours. There was really no time to listen to Fei Xuan's long speech.
"Yes, four thousand years is not a day or night. It requires heavy doses of strong medicine to last for such a long time. However, the more power of the medicine, the more dangerous it will be. Even if we have advanced to Taixuan, pretending to be dead for four thousand years is extremely dangerous." Fei Xuan said.
After Fei Xuan finished speaking, Wu Dongfang and others frowned.
Seeing everyone frowning, Fei Xuan hurriedly spoke to comfort him, "I'll be the one to set the standard, so you can rest assured."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you," Wu Dongfang breathed a sigh of relief, "We must think of all aspects and make sure there are no mistakes."
"Don't worry." Fei Xuan picked up the wine glass and offered to drink.
The four of them raised their glasses and drank together.
Wu Dongfang then informed everyone about the Vampire King. As expected, the leader of Ancient Greece this time was still the mustache who deserved a beating. Before the expedition, Fei Xuan and others who had never seen it had to let Fei Xuan and others know its strength. a general understanding.
"Si Ruo, are you full?" Wu Dongfang looked at Si Ruo.
"What are the instructions from the Holy Witch?" Si Ruo left her seat and stood up.
"You go to the palace and say hello to Emperor Xia. I will go over to meet him later." Wu Dongfang said.
Si Ruo nodded in agreement, confessed to Fei Xuan and others, and went out to the palace.
"If you have any requests, I'll tell him." Wu Dongfang drank tea and rinsed his mouth. Before leaving, he had to meet with Si Shaokang. The reason why Si Ruo was asked to report first was to send her away and let Si Ruo go and inform her first. Fei Xuan and others can speak freely.
The three of them shook their heads at the same time. They knew what Wu Dongfang meant. After returning from the westward journey, they would feign death and go into hibernation. Once they go into hibernation, the tribe will lose their leader, and their funeral arrangements must be made in advance.
"Let's talk about it." Wu Dongfang said.
"It's up to you to decide." Xun Shuang took the lead in expressing his stance.
Xin Tong and Fei Xuan nodded in agreement. It was not just the three tribes of water, fire, and wood that lost their holy witches. The Jin tribe also lost their holy witches. Wu Dongfang would definitely make a decision that was most beneficial to the four tribes.
"You will select the next leader, and future leaders will be jointly elected by the tribesmen. The Tu tribe shall not interfere in any affairs of the four tribes, and shall not use troops against the four tribes for any reason." Wu Dongfang said.
The three of them nodded again. The suggestion put forward by Wu Dongfang seemed to be the best way at the moment.
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go to the palace." Wu Dongfang put down his cup and stood up. The reason why the three of them were able to leave their own people and go to fight alongside him four thousand years later was largely because of the three of them. They are all single and have no close relatives or children.
When he went to the palace, Si Ruo had not arrived yet. Si Shaokang knew that he was in Xiadu, guessed that he might come, and had been waiting for him in the palace hall.
After the meeting, Si Shaokang took the initiative to confess, saying that he knew that he was in Xiadu and that he was doing very important things before. He was worried that going to Tianshi Mansion would disturb his business, so he never went to visit.
Wu Dongfang and Si Shaokang were not on good terms, but Si Shaokang had always been very polite to him. In addition, in all fairness, Si Shaokang was a good emperor. Since time was tight, he didn't talk nonsense to Si Shaokang and directly stated his thoughts and requirements, and Si Shaokang was right.
The meeting with Si Shaokang took less than half an hour, and then Wu Dongfang returned to the Mansion of the Five Clan Holy Witches and Heavenly Masters, greeted the three of them, and Tu Dun returned to the Jin Clan.
Ming Yue was the only one in the hall, and Ming Zhan had already gone back.
Ming Yue stood up and poured a glass of water for Wu Dongfang, then sat down under Wu Dongfang, looking at him quietly, waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.
After a long silence, Wu Dongfang said in a deep voice, "I'm leaving before sunset today..."
