Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 50 Elixir?poison?
Although Fang Yiai was displeased, she didn't want to lose her manners in front of everyone, so she cupped her hands and said to Ping Laodao, "It turned out to be the Taoist priest of Yuntai Temple."

When Ping Laodao saw Fang Yiai bowed his hands and saluted, he felt even more disdainful, and snorted softly, "I have devoted myself to cultivation for forty years, and I have also worshiped as a disciple of Sun Simiao. I think I still have some research on the Qihuang technique."

Knowing that Ping Laodao had studied medicine with Sun Simiao, Jin Jiatong Huan, Lu Mingxing and Lu Mingyue all spoke in praise.

"It turns out that he is a disciple of Master Sun Simiao, no wonder he was born with such a spirit!"

"Sun Simiao, king of medicine? I heard that he is over a hundred years old this year!"

"Daoist Ping, I have chronic illnesses all over my body, so I will definitely come to disturb you someday."

"Ping Daochang has a childlike face, and he must be very good at nourishing qi. The matter of seeing the elixir today is entirely up to Daoist."

Facing the compliments from everyone, Ping Laodao nodded his head, waved the whisk in his hand lightly, and said: "Although He Bangtou has excellent literary talents, he also shot and killed Turkic thieves. But the technique of Qi Huang is a hard work, so the leader of the list should not intervene." , don't look away and hurt others!"

Hearing Ping Laodao's evaluation of Fang Yi'ai, several generals nodded repeatedly. In their opinion, although the top of the commoner list is famous in Chang'an, the matter of Qihuang is related to life and cannot be sloppy!
"Yes, He Bangshou just sit aside and rest."

"The first one on the list is excellent in martial arts but looks like he is only in his early twenties. Presumably he is not proficient in Qihuang skills?"

Seeing doubts on everyone's faces, Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting on the side, also nodded secretly, and said, "Brother He, sit next to Lao Cheng and drink tea. I'd better leave it to Daoist Ping to watch the elixir of the Western Regions."

When Ping Laodao saw that Cheng Yaojin also spoke to comfort Fang Yiai, the disdain on his face increased greatly, "Since all the generals have invited experts, please watch the elixir first."

After finishing speaking, Ping Laodao lightly stroked his long beard under his chin, and the brush in his hand was windless and automatic, just like a real person.

Seeing Ping Laodao speak, several other masters standing behind several generals took a step forward one after another, leaned in front of the servant and stared at the Western Region elixir in the wooden tray.

Because she was beside Qin Qiong, Fang Yiai did not see the true face of the western region elixir, but from the expressions of several experts, it seemed that they had never seen this kind of herb before.

After staring at the elixir of the Western Regions for a while, several people looked at each other, with shame on their faces, and said in unison: "I'm ashamed, I don't know."

"Hmph!" Seeing that several experts could see the origin of the Western Regions elixir, Old Daoist Ping snorted coldly, and then said: "You have little knowledge, you are useless here. Go down!"

Seeing that Ping Laodao issued the order to evict guests, several experts looked at each other in blank dismay, and after getting the tacit approval of the generals, they immediately walked down the Jueming Tower in disgrace.

"Useless mediocrity!" Seeing the eminent people leaving in embarrassment, Ping Laodao gave Fang Yi'ai a white look, then shook his whisk lightly, and said, "What's the first place, please?"

Fang Yiai was very upset when he saw Ping Lao Daoist's bull nose almost raised to his forehead. With the attitude that watching the excitement is not a big deal, he chuckled and said, "I'd like to invite the Taoist priest first, and I will learn from the side."

Fang Yiai's respectful and modest attitude made Ping Laodao very useful, "Well, this is it!"

After finishing speaking, Ping Laodao walked slowly into the room, and walked up to the servant holding the wooden tray.

Looking down at the elixir of the Western Regions in the wooden tray, the smile on Ping Laodao's face disappeared immediately. After pondering for a while, he looked up at the strange man from the Western Regions and asked hesitantly, "Is this a kind of Ganoderma lucidum?"

The stranger from the Western Regions smiled charmingly when he heard what the old Taoist Ping said, and shook his head and said, "Ganoderma lucidum does not grow in the Desert of Death."

Receiving the negation from the strangers from the Western Regions, Ping Laodao's face changed slightly, he twirled his beard frequently, and asked again: "Could it be ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum or other medicinal materials?"

Seeing old Taoist Ping guessing again and again, as if preparing to be blind, Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting beside him, slapped his thigh and said annoyedly: "Oh, people have already said it. This elixir is obtained from the Desert of Death. You Ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum grow in the desert at home!"

"This." Cheng Yaojin said, the old Taoist Ping blushed and stood there for a moment without thinking.

Ping Laodao had learned medical skills from Sun Simiao for a period of time when he was young, and Sun Simiao had also let him look at the hundred sketches. He thought he knew the rare medicinal materials in the world, but now he was embarrassed when he faced the Western Regions elixir!
After a long time, seeing that old Taoist Ping hadn't let out a fart for a long time, the foreigner from the Western Regions standing aside smiled slightly and said, "Master Daoist, don't you know this thing?"

Ping Laodao, who had boasted about Haikou in front of everyone, felt embarrassed, and then found a way for himself, "This is not a native plant of my Tang Dynasty. I have never seen it before."

Seeing Ping Laodao slumped, the stranger from the Western Regions raised the corners of his mouth, and then said loudly: "Indeed, such elixir is extremely rare even in my territory of Kucha."

Hearing the words of the foreigner from the Western Regions, Fang Yiai chuckled and thought to himself, "This foreigner from the Western Regions is really good at observing words and expressions, no wonder he came to Datang with the caravan."

Although Ping Laodao's face was dull, but out of curiosity, he couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, sir, what kind of herb is this elixir?"

"This elixir is called light water vine, and it is the heart of the simple tree in the desert."

Knowing the name of the elixir, Ping Laodao frowned slightly, and then asked: "Qingshui vine? What is Qingshui vine?"

"The Daoist doesn't know that the simple wood is a unique tree in the desert of death. It takes a hundred years to grow, and when it is mature, it encounters quicksand and is then submerged in the sand sea. After a hundred years of corrosion, the simple wood is completely worn away, and only the root of the tree can survive. It is well preserved under the sea of ​​sand. After the root, stem and tree core fall off, it can float on the sea of ​​sand because of its aura. This is why it is named Qingshuivine, which means it is lighter than water."

"Oh, so that's the meaning." Hearing the explanation from the strange man from the Western Regions, Ping Laodao nodded repeatedly, and then said: "But I don't know how to judge that there is spiritual energy in the light water vine?"

"Master, please wait patiently."

Seeing that old Taoist Ping was doubtful, the stranger from the Western Regions smiled, and then waved to the merchants from the Western Regions.

After being reminded, the businessman from the Western Regions called someone to bring a porcelain bottle, and then put it on the desk between the seats.

Looking at the porcelain bottle in front of him, Yu Chigong frowned slightly, his face was full of puzzlement, "Since you want to verify the authenticity of the elixir, what are you doing with the porcelain bottle?"

The businessman from the Western Regions noticed everyone's curious eyes, smiled slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "Duke, please take a look."

When the businessman from the Western Regions spoke, the foreigner from the Western Regions reached out and took the light water vine in his hand, then held it up to his chest and muttered something.

Hearing the words recited by the strangers from the Western Regions, Fang Yiai couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He had studied the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries in his previous life, and he vaguely remembered that the pronunciation of Sanskrit was very similar to the mantras that the strangers from the Western Regions were chanting at this moment.

"How can the aliens in Kucha know how to recite Sanskrit? Could it be that they really believe in Buddhism?"

Just as Fang Yiai was secretly guessing the origin of the foreigner from the Western Regions, the foreigner from the Western Regions suddenly yelled after reciting Sanskrit, then quickly changed his gestures, and then made a gesture directly at the porcelain vase placed on the desk with one hand into claws. made a grabbing gesture.

The next moment, to the surprise of everyone present, it was the stranger from the Western Regions who grabbed the porcelain bottle ten meters away from him and smashed it into pieces!
The moment the porcelain vase was turned into powder, the hall on the top floor of the Cassia Building was completely silent. Several well-known battle-hardened generals looked at each other with incredulous expressions on their faces.

Seeing that everyone who was doing this had a surprised expression, the stranger from the Western Regions slowly put down the light water vine, and said with a light smile: "Don't be surprised, generals, I just drove the aura in the light water vine to release. , which crushed the porcelain bottle."

"Release the spiritual energy? This is indeed a panacea! The method of the master is also extremely clever!"

"Mister is a good method, but I don't know how to take this elixir?"

"Mr. Thunder's method, I bow to you! If you can learn such a method as sir, you can go to the battlefield to fight in the future and take the head of the enemy general without any effort!"

Jin Jiatonghuan, Lu Mingyue and Lu Mingyue, when you say something to each other, it is obvious that the aliens from the Western Regions are enshrined as gods!
Even Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong, who were well-informed and ranked among the Dukes of the state, could not help but change their expressions slightly, and the horror in their eyes could be seen at a glance.

"Clap!"

After seeing the methods of the foreigner from the Western Regions, the whisk in Laodao Ping's hand fell to the ground. Looking at the foreigner from the Western Regions in front of him, Ping Laodao's eyes were full of admiration.

"Mr. is a great talent. The little old man can't see Mount Tai. I hope you will forgive me a lot."

As he said that, Ping Laodao, who had always looked down on everyone, actually bowed and bowed to the strange man from the Western Regions, and made a respectful salute!
Seeing that the aura in the light water vine could turn the porcelain bottle into powder, Fang Yiai couldn't help being a little suspicious, and thought to herself, "Lingzhu grass is also a high-grade elixir, but the aura contained in it can only be effective after ingestion. How come the light water vine in the hands of a foreigner from the Western Regions can turn a hard porcelain bottle into powder just by releasing its aura?!"

Out of curiosity, Fang Yiai couldn't help but stood up and peeked at the wooden tray. After he saw the face of the light water vine, he couldn't help being horrified.

I saw the light water vine in the wooden tray held by the boy, the whole body was black and shiny, and its shape looked like a humanoid ginseng. No wonder Ping Laodao saw the light water vine before, and his first reaction was to regard it as ginseng.

"Generally, the color of elixir is mostly blue and white. Why is this light water vine so dark all over? Moreover, there is a trace of filth faintly exuding from it. It doesn't look like an elixir for healing and saving lives!"

Thinking of this, Fang Yiai quietly looked at the foreigner from the Western Regions. In an instant, he suddenly saw a blood-red bamboo tube hidden in the sleeve of the foreigner from the Western Regions!
After discovering the blood-colored bamboo tube, thinking about the act of the strange man from the Western Regions silently reciting Sanskrit, a bold idea popped up in Fang Yi's heart, "Could it be that the burst of true energy that destroyed the porcelain bottle before came from the bamboo tube between his robe sleeves?" from within?"

Just as Fang Yiai was staring at the bamboo tube in the sleeve of the foreigner from the Western Regions, the foreigner from the Western Regions felt Fang Yiai's gaze, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Fang Yiai.

Looking at each other, a venomous snake-like gaze flashed through the small eyes of the foreigner from the Western Regions, and then he raised his palm slightly, and quickly hid all the blood-colored bamboo tubes in the sleeves of his robes!
Seeing the strange behavior of the stranger from the Western Regions, Fang Yiai snorted coldly and thought, "There is indeed a problem!"
