Chapter 90 Spiritual Medicine Space
At first, Qin Muxue felt that this emerald ring was similar to her necklace. Could there be space in it?
"Hide the ring first, and then take it out and show it to me when they are resting." Qin Muxue gave some instructions. It would be better if this secret was not discovered by too many people.
Manman nodded, "Okay, I understand." After putting the ring into her pocket, she comforted Baozhu and Anan as if nothing had happened.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she crawled out of her sleeping bag. Qin Muxue was already waiting for her in another room. "Xiaoxue, look, it's still glowing!"
Qin Muxue took the emerald ring in her hand and asked, "Manman, did your tears fall on it when you were crying?"
She remembered that when her emerald was activated, it was because she missed her mother so much that her tears fell on the emerald necklace, and that's how it gained space. If tears were the only way to recognize the owner, then Manman's emerald ring was most likely glowing because Manman cried.
Manman raised her head and thought for a while, "It seems that I did shed a tear on the emerald before."
"Try closing your eyes and touching the emerald with your hand to see if it will appear?" Manman touched the emerald as Qin Muxue said. In an instant, she found herself in an unknown space.
Manman's thoughts began to panic, "Xiaoxue, what was that just now? I seemed to see something strange."
It seems that this emerald ring and the emerald necklace do have a space, but I don’t know whether Manman’s space is the same as mine.
"Don't be afraid. Did you see a huge space?" Manman frowned and shook her head. "Xiaoxue, I didn't see any huge space. What appeared in front of me was a lush garden. I don't know what's growing on it."
Is it possible that Manman’s space is different from mine?
"Manman, recite my name silently in your heart and take me to your space." Manman closed her eyes and silently recited Qin Muxue's name, and then the two of them came to a garden together.
Qin Muxue's space was only used for storage in the beginning. After it was gradually upgraded, planting areas and breeding areas appeared. But why did Manman's space look like a plantation from the beginning?
Manman squatted down, looking at the unknown plants around her. She reached out and touched them, and the name and properties of the plant immediately emerged in her mind: "Licorice, a perennial herb of the genus Glycyrrhiza in the Leguminosae family, has a certain effect on the treatment of chronic bronchitis and asthmatic bronchitis."
She was startled, and tried to touch another plant, and the same thing happened. "Perilla seed is the fruit of the annual herbaceous plant Perilla frutescens of the Lamiaceae family. Perilla seed is warm in nature, spicy in taste, and enters the lung and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of lowering qi, clearing phlegm, moistening the lungs, and widening the intestines. It is mainly used to treat cough, phlegm, asthma, qi stagnation, and constipation. In addition, it should not be used for people with chronic cough due to qi deficiency, yin deficiency, and loose stools due to spleen deficiency."
As long as the plants she touched were plants that could be used as medicine, "Xiaoxue, these seem to be medicinal herbs."
"Could it be that all the fields are filled with medicinal herbs?" The two walked deeper into the field. Not only were there medicinal herbs, but there were also various flowers and trees. There was also a small wooden house not far away. Qin Muxue became even more confused.
Manman followed behind Qin Muxue. Qin Muxue pushed open the door of the cottage and immediately found a strong smell of Chinese medicine. There were also many medicine pots and stoves for boiling medicine. It seemed that this was the place for decocting medicine.
"Medicine field, boiling medicine, is this the space for spiritual medicine?" Qin Muxue murmured to herself.
"Xiaoxue, come and see, there are a lot of prescription books here." There is a huge bookcase in the room, which is filled with medical books and prescriptions that can treat various difficult and complicated diseases. On the other side is a medicine cabinet, which contains some processed and dried medicines, including some precious and important ones. Qin Muxue also saw a large Ganoderma lucidum, which would not have grown to this size without a hundred years.
If so, it seems her guess is correct, "Manman, this should be the spiritual medicine space."
"I have only seen the existence of space in books. I didn't expect that there is a spiritual medicine space in this ring." Then she thought that this ring was given to her by Qu Yanbai, "This space should not belong to me, it should belong to Qu Yanbai."
"Manman, you have to know that it was not you who chose the space, but the space that chose you. Otherwise, why would your tears activate it? Since it is the relic of Qu Yanbai's mother, I think she must have chosen you. She knows the relationship between you and Qu Yanbai." Qin Muxue analyzed it seriously, fearing that Manman would feel burdened. Besides, the fewer people who know about things like space, the better. Emerald is not like a superpower. It can be snatched away by a more powerful person at any time.
"Xiaoxue, you are talking nonsense. What is the relationship between him and me?"
Qin Muxue teased, "When you two were alone together, did something happen? Did that guy confess to you?"
Manman's face suddenly turned red, "Xiaoxue, how do you know all this..."
From the changes in their eyes and some of their behaviors, I analyzed, "Do you agree?"
Manman shook her head. "Not yet. Qu Yanbai has always been by my side. I did have a crush on him at first. He protected me and saved me. I was afraid that was why I had a crush on him. Although I am a bit slow in emotions, I also know what love means. We must be in love with each other to be together."
"Are you afraid that Qu Yanbai confessed to you because he feels guilty?" Qin Muxue pointed out the problem directly.
"Xiaoxue, you finally found out. I think we just have feelings for each other. If you want to say it's love, it may be a little early. Besides, look at our current situation. How can we have time to talk about love? It's more important to save our lives. Let's consider the relationship after we settle down. So I told Qu Yanbai that I need to think about it. It's not that I deliberately delayed time, but I think we should take the relationship seriously and can't promise others casually. If we hurt their feelings at that time... It's not worth it. Besides, Qu Yanbai is still our teammate. If we have a conflict and break up, won't our team be disbanded?"
Manman spoke out all the worries hidden in her heart in one breath, and immediately felt much more comfortable. Facing Xiaoxue, she could tell her secrets without any scruples.
"What you're thinking about is not without reason." Qin Muxue covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "It seems that you have considered it long-term enough. Things like feelings can't be rushed. Anyway, we have a lot of time in the future. You can continue to try to understand him. What can I say about Qu Yanbai? I think he should be a good man. He is responsible and filial. He is also very good to you and protects you in times of crisis. But people's hearts are changeable. From a friend's perspective, I also hope that you can observe him again!"
"Xiaoxue, we are thinking the same thing."
Qin Muxue stood in this huge spiritual medicine space, looking at the herbs all over the ground. With her space, they could survive safely even if they left the shelter.
She suddenly felt a little cough, probably because she caught a cold. Manman looked at Qin Muxue's symptoms, compared them with the symptoms on the prescription, and tried to prescribe a medicine: scutellaria baicalensis seeds, radish seeds, licorice, bitter almonds, ephedra, and then boiled a pot of medicine in a medicine pot. The medicine pot here is even more magical. It used to take a long time to boil Chinese medicine, but in the medicine pot, it only takes ten minutes to boil it.
Manman quickly poured out the medicine soup, "Xiaoxue, drink this!"
Qin Muxue looked at the dark bowl of medicine. The most important thing was that it smelled very bitter. "Are you really going to drink it?"
"Well, I heard you coughing just now. The medicine I prescribed should be effective." Moreover, when she picked the medicine, she didn't need to look at the name. She only needed to take a glance and the name and properties of the medicine would appear in her mind. The efficiency was very high. If used with her healing ability, she could become a qualified doctor.
Qin Muxue pinched her nose and drank the medicine in one breath. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect or if it was really effective, but after a while, she felt that the pain in her throat had disappeared.
"How is it?" Manman looked at her expectantly.
"The effect is good..." It's just a little bitter, so bitter that her tongue is almost numb.
"If the medicine here is effective, I won't have to use my supernatural powers to treat those minor illnesses. After all, it consumes a lot of mental energy." Manman was excited, but before they could be happy too soon, they were teleported out. It seems that this elixir space is the same as Qin Muxue's space, which has a time limit and people cannot stay in it for a long time.
Qin Muxue looked at her watch and found that exactly ninety minutes had passed. They had actually been in the space for ninety minutes.
Before Manman could react, she found that they had returned to the real world. "What's going on? How did we get out?"
A line of words suddenly flashed in my mind, "The time limit of the spiritual medicine space is ninety minutes."
Qin Muxue explained it to her again, and Manman nodded thoughtfully.
"No matter what, you must keep this ring safe and never tell anyone else about this." Qin Muxue warned again.
"I know, but can't I tell Qu Yanbai about this?"
"We can explain it to him slowly later. There's no need to tell him now. It's late now. Why don't we go back and get some rest?"
But Manman was a little excited now and couldn't fall asleep for a while, "Xiaoxue, why don't you talk to me again!"
Qin Muxue recalled how she was when she first created her own space. She was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. She could understand Manman's state. "In that case, I'll take you to visit my space!"
This was the first time she brought other people into her space. If it were someone else, she would definitely hesitate, but for Manman, she did not hesitate at all.
The two were in the storage area. This was the first time Manman saw the space in Xiaoxue's mouth. It was neatly stacked with a wide variety of food and daily necessities, as if they had come to a large supermarket. Going further inside, there were airplanes, yachts, and all kinds of cars.
After passing the storage area, we came to the planting area, with all kinds of fruit trees, vegetables, and even wheat and rice. At first glance, we thought we had come to a rural field.
Qin Muxue picked an apple and threw it into Manman's arms, "Didn't you say that apples are delicious?"
"So, Xiaoxue, the apples in your space are all grown?" Manman took a bite of the apple, it was fresh and juicy.
"There are not only apples, but also oranges, pineapples, strawberries, bananas, and everything else. I grow them all when I have time every day. How do you think? Not bad, right?" Qin Muxue couldn't help feeling a sense of pride when she talked about this, just like the joy of a farmer during a good harvest. These were also grown through her hard work.
The most surprising thing is of course the breeding area. On a green grassland, there is a house. Manman took a closer look and found that it was her old house. "I thought the house had been submerged by the flood. I didn't expect it to be preserved so intact." She touched the rock wall of the outer wall and missed her life in Taoyuan Village for a moment.
When they arrived at the courtyard, a group of dogs rushed out. It turned out to be Ah Huang and his children. They were very excited to see Qin Muxue and Manman coming, and they were wagging their tails wildly around them. In addition, there were Sang Qing's pastoral dog and three cats. The whole yard was as lively as a zoo. There were also a few pigs in the pigsty in the distance. Because Qin Muxue had not had time to build a sheeppen, the pigs and sheep still lived together. A group of chickens were running around in the grass. It looked no different from being in the countryside.
The furnishings in the house were exactly the same as before they left. The windows were clean and it looked like someone cleaned it regularly. It would be a comfortable life if they could stay in this space for a long time. Unfortunately, they could only stay here for ninety minutes.
After Qin Muxue finished feeding the cats and dogs, she said to Manman, "Since you can't sleep, come with me to build a sheepfold for these sheep, so they don't have to stay with the pigs and get smelly."
These wild boars are really unclean and love to roll in the mud. The piglets have grown several sizes bigger but are still wild and often bully the sheep. It's time to separate them.
"Okay, let's build a sheepfold together."
Fortunately, they had all the tools at hand. The two of them cut some wood from the planting area and made a fence. The sheep were just enclosed inside. It was not very exquisite, but it was enough. Qin Muxue cut some grass as their feed and saw that it was almost time.
"After being busy for a while, do you feel tired?"
Manman nodded. "Working for a while is more tiring than running around outside."
Qin Muxue threw a bottle of water to her and said, "Drink some water. It's almost time. We should leave here."
When they came out, it was already early morning.
The weather seems good today. Manman yawned and looked at the sun rising in the east. She was surprised for a moment, "Xiaoxue, look at the sun, isn't there something wrong with it?"
Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, Qin Muxue felt it was a little dazzling. At the same time, she also felt what Manman said was different. This sun seemed to be several times larger than an ordinary sun. It was very strange. One could even clearly see the flares in the sun. For humans, it seemed too terrifying to see all this with the naked eye.
"Is the sun closer to us? But why is the temperature getting colder?"
Shi Yan stood behind Qin Muxue and analyzed: "Maybe it's not the sun?"
Not the sun? Qin Muxue had never encountered such a scene in her previous life. "Is it another star?"
Shi Yan shook his head. "I don't know that either. But generally speaking, when strange phenomena appear in astronomy, there will definitely be bigger natural disasters. We still need to take precautions in advance."
The old man, Sang Qing and Ailan were looking at the wonderful sight before them.
"I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a scene..." He couldn't calm down for a long time, and the hand holding the pipe was still shaking.
Sang Qing stared at Alan beside him and asked, "Alan, what's going on? If a bigger disaster happens, will we die?"
Because the old man was beside him, Alan couldn't make a more intimate move. He leaned against Sang Qing and whispered, "No matter what disaster happens, we will face it together, even if we die, we will die together."
"I don't know what nonsense you are talking about, Wu Yazui. We all need to live well and live until the day when Blue Star returns to normal."
Although he said this, Sang Qing knew that in the face of all things in the universe, the Blue Planet was just a tiny one. Abnormal weather could wipe out an entire race, let alone the abnormal phenomena in the universe. Even if an asteroid hit the earth, he would not find it strange. He said this just to comfort himself.
"Are you really not going to the shelter?" Qin Muxue asked again, "Other unknown natural disasters may happen outside. The shelter is safer. Why don't you go to the shelter with me?"
Sang Qing still rejected her. "Misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often come with disasters. We don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster, but I still decided to stay outside with Alan. I believe that Grandpa will agree with our decision."
The old man sighed, "I already have one foot in the ground. I don't want to go to that shelter. I still want to stay with Qing."
In fact, he had already vaguely noticed something, but now he thought that it didn't matter. After escaping death, he no longer obsessed with Sang Qing getting married and having children. He only hoped that in the limited time, Sang Qing could live the life he wanted, because he just turned a blind eye to the affairs between Sang Qing and Alan.
Seeing how persistent they were, Qin Muxue no longer forced them and just gave them some grain, flour, meat and vegetables.
She smiled and said, "It's just a favor for you to eat. Just accept it."
Qu Yanbai still had some supplies in Qin Muxue's space, and he also gave them some warm clothes, sleeping bags and the like.
"You must take good care of yourself, Sang Qing." After years of comradeship, the two men had a kind of close friendship.
"Don't worry. But you should hold on to the people around you and don't let them run away with you. I can see that you like him very much." He leaned close to his ear and whispered.
Qu Yanbai pushed him and said, "You'd better take care of the one next to you!"
Sang Qing smiled and sighed, "Thank you for your kindness."
"There are many unknown dangers outside. I hope Alan can protect Sang Qing well." Although Qin Muxue didn't know this Arctic wolf, she could feel that this guy's eyes were always on Sang Qing.
"Wolves are the most loyal animals. You don't need to worry about me. I will take good care of him." Even though they were about to leave, this guy still didn't say a single good word.
Sang Qing showed an embarrassed expression, "I have another thing I want your help with..."
Qin Muxue already knew what he was going to say. "This request is a bit excessive. Our original residence has been destroyed. Before we build a new home, could you please help me take care of my cats and dogs? I will definitely take them away after I settle them down!"
Sang Qing knew that in this situation, cats and dogs would suffer if they followed him.
"Sure, it doesn't matter when you pick them up."
Mantou whimpered and refused to leave. It kept staring at its owner, and then looked at Baozhu reluctantly, as if it was making a dilemma.
In fact, even he was not sure. He didn't know when they would meet again after this separation. "Mantou, you must listen to them. It's not that I don't want you anymore. I will definitely come to pick you up. Don't be sad."
Looking at the man and the dog reluctantly saying goodbye, Qin Muxue could understand him. If she were to part with Baozhu, she might be even sadder than him.
Mantou looked at the backs of Sang Qing and the other two as they left, then looked at Baozhu behind him, rubbed her affectionately, then resolutely broke free from the leash and followed the three people.
Qin Muxue saw Sang Qing stop from a distance and picked up Mantou. "It seems Mantou has made his choice. This is good."
Sang Qing waved at them apologetically. Qin Muxue nodded, understanding what he meant. He decided to take the steamed buns away.
The saddest person right now is probably Baozhu. She lost her mother yesterday and separated from her boyfriend today. Qin Muxue could only hug her tightly and stroke the hair on her back. At this moment, she saw tears in Baozhu's eyes.
"Baozhu, as long as you live in this world, you will always have to experience these. No matter whether you are a human or a dog, we have all experienced life and death. Don't be sad. At least I can promise you that we will never be separated." She hugged Baozhu tightly in her arms. Baozhu seemed to understand what she meant. She nodded slightly, looked into the distance reluctantly, and finally followed Qin Muxue.
Qin Muxue put the pearls and gems back into the space. The temperature outside was too cold. The thermometer showed minus 79 degrees Celsius. She looked at the huge unknown planet in the sky and felt an inexplicable sense of fear in her heart.
"Let's go!" She held An An's hand and said to the people behind her.
There was still some distance to the shelter, so they decided to drive a little further on the snowmobile.
