Copper Coins

Xuan Min was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You've never seen it before?"

Hearing what he said, Xue Xian was also a little surprised: "Could it be a common word? I've never seen it before, maybe it was created by someone. How should I put it, it's too... simple and simple. .”

Xuan Min's face darkened when he heard the words, as if he was thinking about something, after a while, he looked up at the characters and said, "I can understand these characters, as if I have learned them one by one since I was young, but I can't remember I'm sorry who ever taught this."

Someone taught it?

Xue Xian recalled a scene he had seen in Xuan Min's memory. At that time, Xuan Min's perspective was quite low, and his memory was too vague. He could only see the other party's white robe that almost touched the ground. At that time, Xuan Min opened his mouth and said something. It's as simple as two or three words, like some kind of address.

Now that I think about it, maybe it's... Master?

For a moment, Xue Xian even felt a little strange.Because Xuan Min's temperament or habits usually don't seem to have too much contact with other people, and living alone in a small bamboo building filled with mist is more in line with his consistent performance.

Sometimes, Xuan Min is even more like a person who was born and raised and has nothing to do with the world.However, now, I suddenly realize that he has also grown from a small child to what he is now. He also had parents, teachers, and even disciples... just like the questioning Xuan Min that appeared in fragmentary memories. Whose child is it.

These entanglements made Xue Xian suddenly realize that the Xuan Min he saw was only one side of it, and Xuan Min himself didn't even know about the rest.

Xue Xian was in a daze for a while, so he was silent for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he saw Xuan Min looking at him, as if he had misunderstood something because of his sudden silence.

"I won't lie to you." Xuan Min looked at him quietly with dark eyes, and said.

Xue Xian was stunned for a moment, relaxed his expression, waved his hands and said, "I just suddenly remembered something, I didn't slander you for lying to me, monks don't tell lies, I understand." As he spoke, Xue Xian winked lazily at him Blinked one eye.

Xuan Min: "..."

"Speaking of this, I have to confess one thing to you." Xue Xian pulled up his skirt, sat upright solemnly, looked up at Xuan Min, and said embarrassingly, "Your copper coin seems to be a bit of a traitor."

"Traitor?" Xuan Min subconsciously glanced down at the string of copper coins hanging between his fingers, unable to comprehend the meaning of these words for a while.

"After I used it to nourish my muscles and bones a few times, I had some weird reactions." Xue Xian was inexplicably guilty when he said this, but when he thought about it, it was obviously not something he could control, what a guilty grandma.

He paused, put away the feeling of guilt, and said to Xuanmin solemnly: "Maybe the effect of the copper coin is still in my body, so... there seems to be some tension between you and me because of it." To be implicated, some of your emotions and reactions will be transmitted to me, just like you being spittled by a dragon... so what, anyway, that's what it means."

He was still talking serious things before, but then he started to lose his head. When the last sentence came out, Xue Xian tied his tongue silently, then scratched his cheek and passed it vaguely.

Xuan Min: "..."

"It's nothing. The point is that when you recovered part of your memory last time when the restriction on copper coins was lifted, I saw some." Xue Xian glanced at Xuan Min's expression, and immediately added: "But not many, just I saw a few rather fragmented fragments, but I didn't hear a whole sentence, and it was like looking at a flower in a fog, it was extremely blurry—"

As he spoke, he stopped scratching his cheek, and immediately pointed to the copper coin pendant in Xuan Min's hand, and said confidently: "It's to blame."

Xuan Min: "..."

For a moment, Xue Xian saw Xuan Min's lips move slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he still didn't make a sound.He looked at Xue Xian's eyes without anger or other uncomfortable emotions, but after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "It's okay."

After finishing speaking, he repeated lightly: "I won't lie to you either, just watch."

This defenseless attitude made Xue Xian feel a little itchy, but this kind of involvement was a bit inappropriate after all, so he still said to Xuan Min: "I believe you, but if you have a way to get rid of this involvement, you should get rid of it. "

"Let's go out and discuss." Xuan Min replied casually, but there was really no hint of concern on his face.

He raised his hand and clicked on the characters on the stone wall, and opened his mouth and said: "It is mentioned above that there are two kinds of poisonous spiders here, and the poisonous insects in the cave below are used for feeding. 49 years is a generation. It was originally raised at the request of people, but when it was raised, the person it asked for was no longer there, so the poisonous spider was banned on the spot."

"Generation in 49, what year and month was it in the first place? I don't know how many generations have been born until now." Xue Xian frowned. He didn't know whether it was good or bad. Not Yinxie, "What else is written on it?"

Xuan Min clicked on the third column again, "Poisonous spiders are circled in the array, they don't know death but they don't see life."

"Such a long speech is finished in just a few words?" Xue Xian wondered.

"This is the only sentence related to the same life spider." Xuan Min explained patiently.

But that's enough, those characters seem to be eloquent and eloquent, if you read him from beginning to end, he probably won't have the patience to listen, just focus on the key points.So Xue Xian nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. He tapped his fingers lazily on the edge of the stone platform twice, and said, "No wonder..."

Xuan Min replied in a deep voice, "Huh?"

"That bronze mirror." Xue Xian raised his hand and pointed at the bronze mirror in the corner, and said, "Didn't you just say that the poisonous spiders are in the formation, and they don't know death but don't see life? We searched here before and couldn't find it." A little living thing, perhaps because the poisonous spider was trapped in the formation. Because seeing death through the bronze mirror, we can see life. This makes sense, otherwise why the people who were one step ahead of us would be here Such a formation is set up here, probably to lure the poisonous spider out of the formation with the feeling of dying."

Xuan Min glanced at the bronze mirror, nodded, and after another two rows of characters, he nodded and said: "This sentence is about how the same life spider works."

"how?"

Xuan Min glanced at Xue Xian's finger helplessly, and said, "The same-shou spider is actually a mother-child spider, offering the son to the mother, and it will take effect when the blood is seen. When the son-spider draws a mouthful of blood from the Shou-lord, bleeding lines will appear on the abdomen." , and if the paired female spider draws another mouthful of blood from another person, this effect will be achieved, and the latter will live the same life as the former."

Xue Xian: "..."

He immediately stood up from the side of the stone platform, staring and searching on the spot: "Where's the female spider?!"

The child spider drank a mouthful of his blood, and the other female spider stabbed whoever it wanted, and that person lived the same life as the real dragon.If you don't find that thing now, let it hide in the corner, and when he and Xuan Min leave, if someone comes again in the future, it will be a lot of fun.

If this is a sincere and kind person, it will be fine if he lives longer. If there is some kind of crooked person, wouldn't it be a disaster for thousands of years?

Taking a step back, even if the female spider bites a good person, it would not be a good thing. After all, not everyone can bear a near-infinite lifespan, and the taste is far beyond what ordinary people in the world can bear.

Xuan Min said: "Mother and child are connected, the baby spider is in your hands, the other one should not be too far away."

Hearing the words, Xue Xian raised his finger to his lips, and made a silent gesture to Xuan Min.Then he lifted his robe and squatted down, and listened carefully with his ears sideways.

This kind of poisonous spider has slender legs and moves almost silently, and it can only barely hear it with its extraordinary ear power.Xue Xian listened with bated breath for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and gestured to Xuan Min, then pointed at Xuan Min's feet.

Poisonous spiders are extremely sensitive to the movement of people. If Xue Xian got up and chased after them at this time, the poisonous spider might have moved its nest again.So Xue Xian blinked at Xuan Min, motioning for him to catch him.

Fortunately, Xuan Min is not an ordinary person. After comprehending Xue Xian's meaning, he lifted his monk's robe, squatted down silently, stretched out his hand and swept the ground in a circle, and finally stopped at a place.

That place happened to be close to the crack in the wall, so Xuan Min had to turn sideways.From Xue Xian's perspective, he could only see his shoulders.

He probed and took a look, and saw Xuan Min stretched out his hand to gather there, his movements were quite cautious, as if he was on guard to avoid being bitten by the poisonous spider.After a while, Xuan Min waved his sleeves and finally stood up.

He was probably afraid that the poisonous spider would give Xue Xian another bite, so he stuffed them in his palm, and then said to Xue Xian, "I have a pocket porcelain bottle in my dark pocket."

Xue Xian blinked, only then did he realize what Xuan Min meant.He let out an "oh", and walked in front of Xuan Min, the spider in his hand had been properly pinched between his left fingers, his right hand paused in front of Xuan Min's waist, and still touched the dark spot in his waist. bag.

Xuan Min: "...not around the waist."

Xue Xian bit the tip of his tongue, thinking that he would not speak sooner!He retracted his hand in embarrassment again, and poked it in through the hem of Xuan Min's front.

He suddenly had some nostalgia for the self who used to touch the silver in Xuan Min's pocket and touch the fine needle without changing his face, but now his mind is not right, just touching it into his arms through his clothes, there is something indescribable.

If it wasn't for Xuan Min's full attention on the poisonous spider in his hand, with a serious expression on his face, his mind would have gone awry.

"I found it." Xue Xian said with a serious face, and retracted his hand, and there were two rather delicate porcelain bottles lying side by side in his open palm.This porcelain vase was only as big as Xue Xian's thumb, with a big flat belly, at most it could hold some medicine powder, but it just happened to come in handy at this time.

Xue Xian squeezed one of the corks off, Xuan Min moved his fingers, picked something up from his palm, and pressed it into the porcelain bottle.Seeing that Xuan Min had one hand free, Xue Xian gave him the other porcelain bottle, and looked down at the bottle in his hand.

I saw an orb spider crawling around in this bottle, the color of the whole body was gradually fading, almost to the color of white porcelain.At first glance, this poisonous spider is no different from the sub-spider that bit Xue Xian, except that there is a very thin line of blood on the top of the head, which happens to be a pair with the sub-spider.

Xue Xian didn't think about it any longer, and immediately stuffed the spider in his hand, plugged the bottle, and put it away carefully.When he was putting away the porcelain vase, he caught a glimpse of Xuan Min plugging another porcelain vase out of the corner of his eye.

For a moment, he was a little puzzled: Was the bottle opened just now for Xuan Min?It seems not?

But when he looked up again, Xuan Min had put the porcelain vase back into his arms, and glanced at the characters on the stone wall again, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something else.

"Why?" Xue Xian didn't study the porcelain vase carefully, but raised his chin at the stone wall, "Why is there such a look, what's the problem?"

Xuan Min raised his index finger and tapped lightly on the end of the stone wall, and said, "The name of this inscription..."

"Is this the signature?" Xue Xian asked curiously, "What happened to the signature?"

"It seems familiar." Xuan Min replied.

"Oh? What's it called?"

Xuan Min hesitated for a moment, then read: "Same lamp."
