Chapter 60 Panacea
After hearing what the old lady said, I immediately said: In this way, my second uncle brought me here to seek medicine?
The old lady nodded, but I still don’t understand a little bit. Mother-in-law, according to what you said just now, I was already very ill at that time, but why did the second uncle still traveled a long distance to bring me to Sichuan? Aren’t you afraid that I will die halfway?
In fact, your second uncle had to do it. The old lady said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
I was actually a little thirsty, and I wanted to pick up the teacup and drink a few sips of water, but I remembered what the old lady said just now: The Tan family is good at saving medicine and killing medicine. I shrank my hand back without any loss of emotion.
The old lady seemed to see through my thoughts all at once, and reached out to push the water cup in front of me, and drink it. For your grandfather's sake, I won't harm you.
I smiled unnaturally. I felt like I was sitting here, like I was not wearing any clothes, completely seen through by the old lady in front of me. The old lady's eyes gave me an unfathomable feeling. Even when I was dealing with Aunt Tan before, this feeling was not so strong. I can't imagine how powerful the old lady was when she was young.
Since the old lady said that, I had no choice but to pick up the cup and drink it. Put down the cup, and I continued to ask: Did you just say that my second uncle had to do it?
Yes, the old lady nodded. Many medicines have very short time to take, and the more spiritual medicines are, the more they are. Therefore, some medicines must be taken immediately after decocting. The longer the time is delayed, the faster the effect will be lost.
I remembered what my second uncle said to me before he left. He said that the Tan family has been operating here for many years. One of the biggest gains is that they have obtained a lot of precious elixirs. So I said to the old lady: I heard from the second uncle that the Tan family has treasured a lot of magical medicines.
This is true, the old lady continued: You also know that this was the ancient Tea-Horse Road, but before that, it was also a trade channel between Sichuan and Shu and the Western Regions. Many Western Regions' strange medicines would enter Sichuan from here, but the Shu Road was difficult to reach the sky. At that time, the mountain road was steep and countless caravans were destroyed in the mountains. So when the Tan family was exploring this place, they got a lot of good things left over from that time.
So that's the case. I nodded. I wonder what magic medicine my second uncle was asking for for me when he came here?
The old lady raised her head, looked at me carefully for a while, and then said: The medicine your second uncle asked for back then was the treasure of the Tan family, which caused a stir. In the end, the eldest lady agreed to your second uncle's request against the public.
Oh? I didn’t expect that my second uncle would have such a thing for me back then. I wonder what treasure my second uncle wants from the Tan family?
The old lady took a deep breath before speaking: I wonder if you have ever heard of this medicine. The name of this medicine is: Uznamu!
Uznamu? Of course, I have heard of the name of this medicine. Not only have I heard of it, but I have also seen it with my own eyes, touched it with my own hands, and I have also experienced someone fighting for it to the death. I just didn’t expect that I had taken this rare spiritual medicine.
I nodded and said: I know Uznamu, the legend is a magical medicine that brings people back to life. But I didn’t expect that I would have such great blessings.
The old lady smiled and said that your blessings are not only that. The medicines that the Tan family cooked for you back then had two main ingredients, one was uzina wood, and the other was dragon scales.
Dragon Scale!!! I screamed out unconsciously, Dragon Scale? Dragon Scale? I also feel a little familiar with this thing. I must have heard this somewhere. My mind was spinning quickly, and suddenly I thought of it, it was the second uncle!
My second uncle once told us about his back-and-forth experience. When he was young, he went to the tomb of a Ming Dynasty admiral general, where he got a dragon scale. But I remember he told me that he had given it to someone. After hearing what he said, Yuanxiao and I were very sorry at the time, but I didn't expect that he gave me the dragon scale.
The old lady continued: Yes, your second uncle took out the dragon scales he had treasured for many years. The Tan family used special techniques to divide the dragon scales into two, half of which was put into the medicine, and the other half was used as the reward for the Tan family's actions this time.
It’s not easy for me to calm down my mood. So, my other half, Long Lin, is now in the hands of the Tan family?
The old lady shook her head. After many years, I don’t know much about it now.
During the conversation for more than ten minutes, messages like bombs hit me like cannons, which made me almost forget to breathe. I picked up the water cup on the table in front of me and drank the tea inside. I took a few deep breaths to make my chaotic thoughts clearer.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head. I really don’t know what disease I had back then, and I had to use these two magical objects.
The old lady looked up at me and said: It is said that your illness is related to the secret of your Zhuo family, so... she suddenly stopped when she said this.
I was so hung up by her and asked: So what? Mother-in-law, please continue.
The old lady lowered her head, forget it, nothing. Because I don’t know what the secret of your Zhuo family is in the legend.
Seeing that the old lady wanted to speak but stopped, although I was curious, I couldn't continue asking questions, so I had no choice but to give up. I said: Mother-in-law, this is the first time I have heard what you said to me today. I didn't expect that my illness back then would cause such a big incident.
Hearing my words, the old lady suddenly turned her eyes to me. In fact, this is also something I can't understand!
The old lady's eyes showed a sharp look, which made me stunned. Mother-in-law, what do you mean by saying this?
Because, the old lady continued to stare at me and said: Because after you drink the medicine, there was no effect. At that time, several leaders of the Tan family agreed that you would not live for a year. I don’t understand how you survived until now, the disease that Longlin and Uzinamu could not be saved.
