Then, the four old men walked down from their seats at the same time, and each of them excitedly looked at the little white snake in her hand.
"They are so similar, absolutely identical."
"Didn't they say the snake was dead a long time ago? How come it's still alive?"
"Didn't you see clearly? This snake is much smaller than the one we saw. It's not the same snake."
"Okay, stop arguing. There's no point in arguing anymore. Why don't you ask this girl?" The eldest elder suddenly spoke up and interrupted the discussion of his three younger brothers.
When Lin Qingqing heard this, there was even more confusion in her eyes.
"Girl, let me ask you, where did you adopt this snake?" The Great Elder looked at her seriously and asked.
Lin Qingqing looked at the four of them with serious expressions, and answered honestly this time, "I met this snake on a small road in our village. It must have been hungry at the time, and it kept pestering me. I couldn't get rid of it, so I had to adopt it. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my snake?"
The four elders looked at each other, and there was a glint of disbelief in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the elder said to the young couple with a serious face, "Come with us to a place."
After saying that, the four old men walked towards the wall in the hall.
Lin Qingqing, who was following behind them, saw that they were taking her to a place with no roads. When she was about to stop the four of them and ask if they had taken the wrong road, something suddenly happened that scared her to death.
The great elder touched a protruding part of the wall, and the next second, a secret room appeared in front of them.
Lin Qingqing quickly rubbed her eyes with her hands. After rubbing, she quickly stared at the place where the secret room had just been revealed. The secret room was still there.
Now she finally believed that what she had just seen was not an illusion, and that this secret room really existed.
"Come in." After the secret room appeared, the elder turned around and spoke to the couple.
Lin Qingqing was really curious about what was hidden in there, so as soon as the four old men walked in, she immediately grabbed Xiao Wen's hand and chased after them with an impatient look on her face.
Xiao Wen, who was pulled in by her, looked at the petite figure walking hurriedly in front of him with gentle eyes, his mouth corners raised, and his eyes were full of doting light.
After the group walked into the secret room, Lin Qingqing was a little disappointed by the things placed inside, because the things inside were not rare treasures, but rows of tablets.
The elder took a look at the young couple, then immediately walked behind the tablet, took out a portrait and handed it to Lin Qingqing.
"Open it and take a look." he ordered.
Lin Qingqing held this hot potato in her hand, not knowing whether she should open it or not.
"This is not good. These are your things. It's not appropriate for an outsider like me to open them. Why don't you open them?" After saying that, she was about to put it back.
As a result, when she was halfway through stuffing it in, she received a glare from the Great Elder, which scared her so much that she stopped immediately.
Lin Qingqing quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll open it, isn't it okay if I open it?"
After she said this, the fierce look in his eyes disappeared.
Lin Qingqing sighed and had to open the tied old portrait.
The portrait shows a man wearing very ancient clothes. He is standing in a bamboo forest, looking up at something.
But what interested Lin Qingqing the most was that there was a big white snake coiled at the man's feet.
After staring carefully for a while, Lin Qingqing quickly discovered that this big white snake was an enlarged version of the small white snake on her wrist.
"How could there be an identical snake here? Who is the man in this portrait? And what's going on with this white snake?" Lin Qingqing's heart was filled with curiosity, so she immediately looked up at the four of them and asked.
"Now you believe it, right? This is why the four of us said you, the little white snake, looked very familiar to us." said the Great Elder.
"The person in this portrait is our ancestor. The construction of our manor and the medicinal herbs in it were all created by him. As long as the medicinal herbs are grown by our ancestor, their medicinal properties must be the best, and the medicinal aroma is also very strong. Unfortunately, since our ancestor passed away, the medicinal aroma of the herbs in the manor has become weaker and weaker, and it is only being carefully maintained until now." The second elder finished telling this matter with a sad face.
After hearing these words, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but look at the man in the portrait a few more times.
Because after the second elder said these words, she always had a question in her mind: how come this guy was the same as her, and seemed to have a medicine field space.
At this moment, she connected the scent of medicine she smelled the first moment she arrived here.
At that time, she felt that the smell of medicine here was quite familiar. So, this smell of medicine probably came from the medicine field space.
In other words, the medicinal herbs grown here should have been taken out of the medicinal field by the man in the portrait.
After thinking about this clearly, Lin Qingqing realized that she was not the first person in the world to own a medicine field space.
"Girl, actually, there is another very important reason why we asked you to come here this time. That is, the pill you made tastes exactly the same as the pill left by our ancestors." The elder said honestly.
Hearing this fact again, Lin Qingqing was no longer surprised.
After all, the man in the portrait also has a medicinal field space like himself, so the taste of the medicine he makes is the same as the pills he makes. There is nothing surprising about this.
"I understand, but I looked at the person in the portrait. The hermit who taught me how to make medicine doesn't look like him at all."
"Of course we know this, because the person in the portrait has been dead for more than 200 years. However, the four of us suspect that the hermit who taught you how to make medicine might be the descendant of a disciple taken in by our ancestors." The second elder continued immediately.
Lin Qingqing looked at the serious expressions on the four of them. She really couldn't bear to tell them that the hermit master was actually a fabrication she made up and it was not true at all.
But she knew she couldn't say this.
Once it was revealed, the fact that she suddenly knew how to make medicine would become a mystery.
"That hermit master never told me anything about this matter, so I can't say anything." She had to answer ambiguously.
"It must be like this, otherwise no one in this world would be able to make pills with exactly the same taste. In this way, you might still be our uncle?" The third elder said happily.
"Master." The four old men suddenly laughed like little children and called out to her in unison.
