One Piece: Heart Set Sail

Can it be taken away without force?Everyone was skeptical and looked at the steward, waiting for his next explanation. The steward recited a Buddha's name and did not let everyone wait any longer: "Pahua Xianlu or even treasures, if you can use it to save someone's life, there is nothing wrong with it." , but if you want to obtain it, you need to unlock the barrier that seals it."

"Boundary? What is that?"

"Maybe it's also a seal? Just like the Heart of the Ocean." Xavier thought for a moment and guessed: "If the difficulty of unlocking the barrier is equal to the difficulty of unlocking the Heart of the Ocean, we may have to return in vain. "

Seeing the silence of several people, thinking deeply, Xue turned her eyes to the steward again: "Can you please tell me how exactly you did it? I heard that some people have come before, but they all failed. Since it was a failure, it is also a failure. You just tried it and didn’t just leave after hearing about the barrier, right?”

"What the girl said is that this barrier is an illusion. As for how it came about, please be patient and listen to the old man tell a story." The steward was not in a hurry, and did not wait for Luo and his party to answer, as if they were lost in memories. , began to tell.

It turns out that there was a small country in the previous dynasty. The general who protected the country gave birth to a daughter. She was born with stunning beauty. Her beauty was spread throughout the prosperous times. The royal family and nobles were so enamored with her that they squeezed their heads to win the beauty's heart.But she was indifferent to all this. She seemed cold-hearted, except for one thing: she was a pharmaceutical genius.Because her temperament did not match her beautiful appearance, the medicine she prepared was used by the emperor and cured countless people. Therefore, ordinary people regarded her as a goddess who was ignorant of the world and came down to earth to protect everyone. country.

If you combine beauty and talent in your life, you will definitely not be able to live a stable life.When her deeds were widely circulated, the powerful enemy country also got this information and sent its troops south to attack it. The small country was defeated and sent envoys to peace talks. In the end, the enemy country asked the general who protected the country to sacrifice his daughter for a marriage. The general tried every means I don't want to, but I can't stand the pressure.At this time, the beautiful woman behaved calmly and went voluntarily.Her name is not known in later legends. It is only known that the emperor wanted to give her the title of princess during the marriage. She chose the word "Yulu". Because of her medicine to save people from fire and water, and her voluntary marriage to save the country, people believed that she was a goddess. Linfan, even more so, called Yuluxian.

Pahua Xianlu was the last medicine made by Princess Yulu, but she used thaumaturgy and her own obsession to create a strong barrier. For many years, no one has broken through the barrier and successfully obtained the medicine.

"You said that the barrier is an illusion, which means we have to break this illusion?"

"It should be so. If you want to break the boundary, you must first enter the illusion. I have never been in it, so I don't know the situation inside. But since it is transformed by Princess Yulu's obsession, it can be solved by eliminating her obsession. But over the years, countless people I tried, but I got lost in the illusion and couldn't break the world. In the end, I died in my sleep because I was lost and couldn't wake up. Do you still decide to go?" The steward didn't mean to stop him, and he said this in a very calm tone.

"This... this may cost your life. Captain, do you really want to decide to go?" Peijin asked worriedly.

"Yes, Joey's poison will be eliminated slowly. In fact, he doesn't necessarily need Pahua Xianlu."

Xue looked at Luo, speechless, waiting for him to make a decision. She would accompany him to do it no matter what.Not long after, Luo decided to give it a try. Xue didn't know why he persisted. She also thought that it was probably because he was anxious to do something he said and didn't want to miss the time because of Joey's health. He was also worried. She won't be able to recover well, so that's why she took such a risk.Seeing this, the steward said nothing more and led the group to the mountain behind Sheng'an Temple. After passing through countless bends in the mountain road, they arrived at a cave halfway up the mountain. As they walked deeper, there was something like a looming wall. , maybe that’s the so-called barrier.

"The Pihua Fairy Dew is deep in the cave. To enter the illusion, just touch the incense burner on the stone platform in front. After touching it, you will fall into a deep sleep and your consciousness will enter the illusion. However, only two people can enter the illusion at a time. You Let’s decide, which two will come?”

"I!"

"Captain, I'll go!"

"Why are you just a bear joining in the fun? Can you be so smart and confident in solving Princess Yulu's obsession?! I'd better go for it!"

"Sorry……"

Several people could be said to be vying for the first place. In the end, Luo had a sullen face and scolded in a moderate voice: "Shut up, everyone. I will go there myself. As for the other person, let's Zevi..."

"Brother Luo, I'll go with you!" Xue hurriedly interjected, firstly because she was worried about Luo, and Xavier had no fruit abilities and was just an ordinary person. If there were similar dangers, Xavier might still need Luo's protection, and secondly, she thought this was Princess Yulu's obsession. So as a girl, would it be possible for her to be more keenly aware of Yulu's obsession?

She told everyone her thoughts, but no one had any objections. Luo's worry was self-evident: "Are you sure you want to go with me? I can't predict the danger inside."

"I'm sure!" Xue insisted.

"Sir, let this girl go in with you. There are very few women who have come to get the medicine. They are as heroic as men. Perhaps they are not careful enough and have not noticed the key. I won't be able to wake up again." The steward held a string of Bodhi beads in his hand and walked to the stone platform where the incense burner was placed. There was a stone bed in front of the stone platform: "You two will fall asleep after touching the incense burner. I'll ask the remaining few waiting here to take care of them. We only have seven days. If we can't untie them, you two may not wake up. I ask you for the last time, are you sure you want to go?"

"Yeah." The two nodded without hesitation.They looked at each other and walked to the incense burner.

"Captain! Xiaoxue! We are waiting for you here. We must wake up safely! Don't get lost!!" Beibo's little eyes were filled with crystal tears.

"Bebo, don't worry. Brother Luo and I will definitely try our best. You have to believe in us!"

"Be safe, woo woo..."

The two reached out and touched the incense burner. Miraculously, the incense ashes from the incense burner floated out on their own, filling Luo and Xue like mist. After a while, the two fell asleep.Pekin and the others placed the two of them on the stone bed and began to wait anxiously.

At this time, the two of them had entered the illusion.Standing in a gorgeous garden, people dressed as servants were busy coming and going. At first, Xue pulled Luo to make way for them. It was not until she accidentally discovered that they passed directly through her body that she realized that they seemed to be just A consciousness is here, and those people can't see them.

"Brother Luo, we are like ghosts now." Xue teased, intending to lighten the atmosphere. Since Joey came back from injury, they have been busy and have not had a relaxed conversation with Luo.

"Well, but be careful. Didn't the old guy say that the key point must be found?" Luo looked around carefully, looking for anything special.

"This illusion is the result of Princess Yulu's obsession. Then we should find Princess Yulu first. Where is this place?" There are several crabapple trees planted in the garden, and their petals fall when the wind blows. The whole garden is filled with flowers. Fresh fragrance.

When the two of them were wondering where to find Princess Yulu, they heard the voices of the servants: "Be careful, don't damage these precious medicinal materials. Plant the ones that can be transplanted into the medicine field in the backyard, and send the rest to the medicine field in the backyard." Go to the lady."

"Auntie, do you want medicine again?"

"Yes, the plague is spreading all over Nancheng. The prescription made by Miss last time has worked. It has made the epidemic spread less quickly, but it is still not enough, so the King has issued an imperial edict and hopes that Miss will lead the female doctors to prepare more medicines. "

"Then let's do it quickly and send these to the lady's courtyard."

Luo and Xue quickly grasped the key point. The young lady who knew how to make medicine should be the later Princess Yulu. They could find it as long as they followed these people.

Following along, we arrived at a minimally decorated courtyard. The place was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs, but it was not unpleasant. There were people making medicine in the house, and a series of tinkling sounds sounded really busy.

Taking advantage of the fact that others couldn't see them, the two of them walked into the room and saw the woman sitting on the desk writing prescriptions with a wolf-hair pen in her hand. With just one glance, Xue was stunned. She was so beautiful even without any powder. She is incomparable, her deep eyes reveal an unstoppable attraction every time she blinks. She is so beautiful that I don’t know what words to use to describe her.

"Brother Luo, it seems like she is not particularly approachable."

At this time, there was no expression on Jade Face. She did not feel pity because the people were ravaged by the plague, nor was she happy because her prescription saved people, nor was she nervous because of the imperial edict issued by the emperor. Even after they watched For a long time, I didn't see Yulu speak a word to anyone else.It seemed that she was only concentrating on pharmaceuticals and nothing else concerned her.

"Would such a woman save all the people from misery? Will she voluntarily marry into another country? I don't think so." Luo's first instinct was that she was not who she was in the legend. I'm afraid she was just researching her own prescription and trying it with the plague. My results just happened to be right.However, to understand where her obsession lies, we still need to see what she goes through next.

In an instant, the day in the fantasy world turned into night. In addition to writing prescriptions for medicine, Yulu also took the medicine and refined it in the furnace. It was already very late at night until the last furnace was finished.As if she was not tired, she still walked with her paralyzed face under a tree in the courtyard, where there was a simple swing.How simple is it? It's just two worn-out thick hemp ropes and a wooden board just big enough for one person to sit on. The other end is hung on the tree trunk and swings in the wind.

She walked over and sat down slowly. Her toes touched the ground, causing the swing to swing a little wider than the wind. She stared at one spot and began to be in a daze.

Xue looked at it all: "Although she seems to have no emotions, brother Luo, I think she actually has a problem."

"Well, this is also one of the doubts."
