Chapter 986 [Fragrant Honey: Zhou Shengru Gu 12]
In the misty, quiet and deep valley, Youyou continued to walk forward with light but firm steps. The surrounding rocks were jagged and strange, as if they had been carved by the hands of time, with various shapes. Occasionally, a few unknown birds flew over the head, making crisp chirping sounds, breaking the silence.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Youyou suddenly saw a cliff in front of her. The cliff looked like it was split by a giant axe, vertical and steep, with no bottom in sight. The cliff was covered with layers of moss and vines, swaying gently in the breeze. Youyou slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, and curiosity drove her to look down. One foot away from the cliff, a small and exquisite sacred heart grass was growing tenaciously. The leaves of the sacred heart grass were light green, shining with a warm luster, and there were a few crystal dewdrops hanging on it, which looked like bright pearls under the sunlight. Its stem was thin, but it was tough, and a small lavender flower bloomed on the top, with slightly curled petals, exuding a faint fragrance.
Youyou was pleasantly surprised. She knew that the Sacred Heart Grass was an extremely rare spiritual grass with the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life. She had already made preparations to obtain the Sacred Heart Grass. She quickly drew out her extremely sharp sword from her waist. The blade of the sword flashed with cold light, and the hilt was engraved with exquisite patterns. It was obviously an extraordinary weapon. Then, she remembered the willow branches she had cut when she passed by a willow forest. She tied those willow branches together casually and put them in the backpack. She quickly took out the willow branches, used the internal force in her body, and danced with her hands quickly, like a skilled weaver. Under the nourishment of the internal force, the willow branches gradually became thicker, intertwined with each other, and finally turned into a strong rope.
Youyou carefully inserted the sword into a hard rock on the cliff to ensure that the sword was firmly fixed. Then, she tied one end of the rope tightly to the hilt of the sword, tied several knots, and checked carefully to make sure it was not loose. Then, she tied the other end of the rope to her body, wrapped it around several times, and tied it tightly. She took a deep breath, her eyes revealed a hint of determination, and she pushed her feet hard, and the whole person jumped down the cliff.
As she fell, the wind whistled past her ears, and Youyou could feel her heartbeat speeding up. She quickly took out the dagger she carried with her and thrust it into the cliff wall, using the friction of the dagger to slowly stabilize her body. At this moment, she was getting closer and closer to the Sacred Heart Grass.
Youyou stretched out her hand and gently grasped the stem of the Sacred Heart Grass. As soon as her fingers touched it, she felt a little stinging, as if she was pricked by a tiny needle. She frowned slightly, but the stinging sensation soon disappeared and she could not feel it for a while. Youyou thought that maybe she was too nervous, or the fluff on the surface of the Sacred Heart Grass pricked her, so she did not take it seriously. After all, she took a detoxification pill before going out. In her opinion, even if the Sacred Heart Grass was really poisonous, it would be detoxified by the detoxification pill. So, she pulled hard and successfully pulled the Sacred Heart Grass off.
This sacred heart grass exudes a soft light green light, and the veins on the leaves are like carefully carved lines, each of which contains powerful and pure medicinal power. Its stamens are golden yellow, like stars, flashing an alluring light in the dim environment.
Youyou's hands trembled slightly with excitement. She stretched out her hands carefully, as if she was afraid that her heavy breathing would disturb the precious Sacred Heart Grass. She gently pulled it up by the roots, and then quickly took out an exquisite box from her arms. The box was made of top-grade agarwood, and the box was carved with exquisite patterns. It has excellent preservation and storage effects, and can retain the medicinal properties of the Sacred Heart Grass to the greatest extent. Youyou gently put the Sacred Heart Grass into the box and closed the lid, as if she had completed an extremely sacred mission.
At this moment, time was running out, and she could not afford to delay even a little. Youyou tapped the ground with her toes, displaying her exquisite lightness skills. Her figure was as light as a swallow, flying through the valley. Every time she took off, she seemed to merge with the wind, bringing up a light dust. Her figure flashed between the trees and rocks, and quickly ran towards the top of the valley.
However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. When Youyou finally reached the top of the valley and looked into the distance, he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him. The shadows were dense and dense, like a dark cloud, and dust flew everywhere they passed. A closer look revealed that they were a group of monsters attracted by the scent of the medicine. These monsters had different shapes, some were huge, like a hill; some were agile, moving like lightning. There was greed and ferocity in their eyes, and they were obviously coming for the Sacred Heart Grass.
Youyou's heart tightened, and she looked around in panic. The top of the valley was wide and there was no place to hide. The trees were sparse, and the rocks were short, so they could not provide effective cover. She was anxious, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She held the sword tightly in her hand, and the sword body flashed with a cold light. This sword was given by her mentor. The sword body was forged from thousand-year-old cold iron, and it was extremely sharp, cutting iron like mud.
In this helpless situation, Youyou gritted her teeth, made up her mind, picked up the sword resolutely, and jumped off the cliff. The sound of the wind whistled past her ears, and her long hair and clothes were blown by. The bottom of the cliff was bottomless and filled with thick poisonous fog. This poisonous fog was a strange purple color and exuded a pungent smell. It was several times stronger than the poisonous fog encountered in the medicine valley before. The poisonous fog was like a venomous snake, constantly entwining her body and corroding her skin.
As the poisonous fog became thicker, Youyou felt dizzy and her limbs became weak. Her consciousness gradually blurred, and the scene in front of her became more and more blurred. Finally, she could no longer hold on and passed out.
After an unknown amount of time, Youyou slowly woke up. She felt pain all over her body, as if she was being pricked by countless needles at the same time. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a lush green grass. The grass here was extremely lush, and every blade of grass was emerald green, exuding a fresh breath. In the grass, there were also some unknown small flowers scattered here and there, colorful and beautiful.
Youyou struggled to stand up and looked around. He was stunned by the scene in front of him. There were large tracts of medicinal herbs growing here, and each herb exuded a strong medicinal fragrance. These herbs were very old. Some had grown for hundreds of years, with thick roots and lush branches and leaves; some even had a history of thousands of years, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. They had different shapes, some were as round and cute as Ganoderma lucidum, and some were as slender and upright as ginseng.
Youyou was overjoyed. She knew that these herbs were rare treasures in the world. She quickly picked up the basket from the ground, walked carefully to the herbs, squatted down, and carefully selected them. She picked a little of each herb, her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was treating her own children. After putting the picked herbs into the basket, Youyou remembered the poisonous herbs she had picked before. However, she searched everywhere where she dropped them, but only found the basket, and nothing else. The poisonous herbs seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Youyou felt a little disappointed, but soon calmed down. She suddenly remembered the Sacred Heart Grass, and was startled. She quickly reached out to touch her clothes. Fortunately, the Sacred Heart Grass was safely placed in her clothes.
Just as Youyou was concentrating on exploring something in this mysterious and quiet valley, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body, followed by a sweetness in her throat. With a "puff" sound, a mouthful of black blood spurted out of her mouth uncontrollably, splashing on the stone at her feet with a "sizzling" sound. The stone was actually corroded by the black blood, leaving tiny pits.
Youyou's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She felt a thump in her heart and realized that something was wrong. She must have been poisoned. In a panic, she reached into her arms and finally touched the small porcelain bottle containing the detoxification pill. She opened the bottle cap with trembling hands, quickly poured out a detoxification pill, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it eagerly.
After a while, the burning pain eased a little, but Youyou's brows were still tightly furrowed. She was full of doubts. What kind of poison was this? It was so strong that even the detoxification pills that she regarded as a life-saving magic weapon could not completely eliminate the toxins.
She tried to recall every detail after she entered the valley, trying to find out when she was poisoned. She clearly remembered that before entering the valley, she took an antidote pill, thinking that it would be safe, but she was still poisoned. "Is there something wrong with the flowers and plants in this valley? Or is there something poisonous hidden somewhere I accidentally touched?" Youyou kept guessing in her heart.
Although the detoxification pills had a certain effect, the toxins in her body still clung to her like maggots. Youyou gritted her teeth and decided to try to use her internal energy to force the toxins out. She slowly sat down cross-legged, formed seals with her hands, closed her eyes, and began to circulate her internal energy.
At first, the internal force flowed slowly in her meridians like a winding stream. She guided the internal force to the poisoned part, trying to force the toxin hidden deep inside out of her body bit by bit. However, when the internal force touched the toxin, it seemed to encounter a hard wall and was violently bounced back.
Youyou felt a powerful force flowing up along her meridians, impacting her internal organs as if they were displaced. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. The beads of sweat slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground. But she did not give up, gritted her teeth, and increased the output of her internal force again.
This time, her inner strength rushed towards the toxin like a surging tide, engaging in a fierce battle with the toxin. She could clearly feel that the toxin in her body was also resisting frantically, and the two sides engaged in a thrilling battle in her meridians, and every collision made her feel so painful that she wished she was dead.
Youyou's face became more and more ugly, and her lips were bitten until they were bleeding, but her eyes were extremely firm. She gritted her teeth and insisted on using her internal strength to fight the poison, as if she was fighting a desperate battle with fate.
