It is a fable familiar to local people.
There was a rich man who had a treasure and became rich because of it.
He is old, but he has three sons. He is not sure who is suitable to inherit his property and who is suitable to inherit his treasure.
So he told his children.
"I'm old and sick and about to die, but this baby of mine can make a potion that can cure all diseases. However, when making medicinal tea, a cup of poisonous tea will also appear, and the two cannot be distinguished. of."
The old man took out two cups of tea, one with a fragrant aroma and one with an unpleasant stench.
"My children, if anyone is willing to help me try, as long as he does not die, he will be my successor, and if he dies, his children, my grandson will become the heir."
The eldest son hesitated. He also had his own career. He was not as successful as his father, but he was doing well, so he gave up.
The second child also hesitated. He had several beautiful wives and a good fortune. At least, he could survive.
Only the third child, who was heartbroken for his ailing father, gritted his teeth, stood up and said.
"Father, let me do it. I don't want to be rich. I just hope that if I die, I will treat my children and my brothers well."
The third child knows that one person must try today, otherwise no one will be able to leave this room.
So, for the sake of his family, the third child drank the tea.
"The story goes like this. It basically has a happy ending. The tea is actually not poisonous, it was just used by the old father to test his children. The family business was eventually passed on to the third child. The eldest and second children woke up and the family was reunited. , Everyone is happy. What a ghost. There is a huge gap between reality and fairy tales, and they are basically completely different."
When Lu Ping'an learned the information, he felt a little confused when he saw the truth of this dark fairy tale.
First of all, there are three types of tea, one is poisonous, one can treat simple injuries, and the other is based on the ingredients of "making tea" and gives some precious benefits.
The most common thing is to increase vitality. To put it bluntly, extend life.
The healing medicinal tea can be seen clearly, but the other two are indistinguishable, and the old rich man wants the third one, the one that can extend his life.
The real version of this story is that the eldest son became the material for making tea. This tea cup is famous for being made up by drinking whatever you drink. The old rich man was eyeing the vitality of surviving, so he used his eldest son who had long been rebellious.
The second and third boys were forced to try the tea. If they were unlucky enough to take a sip, they would die, and the remaining one could be used as an ingredient for the next time.
The result was that the two brothers drank the medicinal tea while pretending to be poisonous and fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
The third child was holding the cup and wanted to drink, but his father snatched it away.
The old rich man drank the poisoned tea in a hurry and was immediately finished.
Is this the end of the story? Well, there is a sequel. The third child smashed the second child with a teapot and killed the second child who was pretending to be dead, and then wrote this fairy tale, which was widely circulated.
"Our family is the descendant of Lao San, so only our family records have the true version of this story." The lord was very honest. He didn't care at all.
"To be honest, I also think that our ancestor, the third old man, was quite evil. He even found a bard and made up a story. By the way, the life-extending effect is limited. The old rich man can only live one or two years longer at most. That’s all.”
The old lord was very happy when he said this. After all, the treasure of the family has been lost. It doesn't matter if he goes out to have fun. At this time, there is no need to care too much about reputation. He is eager to share this with others. It's really hard to hold back the family past for so many years.
The story itself is extremely subtle, but the function of the "teapot" is obvious.
It can process materials into "poisonous tea", "medicated tea (buff effect)", and "healing tea (healing pain)". Even if only the last one has the effect of healing pain, it is extremely effective and is a healing material. It is always in short supply, and there is no need to worry about drinking the wrong drink.
The most ironic thing in the story is that after testing by later generations, there was little difference between tea made from "humans" and "animals". If the old rich man didn't use his children to make tea, these things would not happen.
The teapot is just a tool for transformation. The grade and characteristics of the "material" are important, but "who it is" really doesn't matter. If they are all ordinary creatures, there is no difference between humans and animals.
At this moment, that cruel scene was staged again.
Amufen, the silver herder, looked at the black tea in front of him. His breath was extremely confused and he couldn't control his emotions at all.
He couldn't understand how such evil behavior could exist in the world, where a "living person" was used to make tea and he was forced to drink it!
Evil Bones looked at him with a smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all.
"Bang!"
However, when the metal ruler fell, large cracks appeared again on Muyinren's beautiful skin.
"Drink, why don't you drink? No, it doesn't suit your taste, does it?"
So, he snapped his fingers.
Two "orcs" came over, one held him down, and the other forcibly opened Muyin's mouth and poured it in directly.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Weird sound waves echoed in the room. The miserable survivors fell into despair and fear. Some of the bandits covered their ears and fell down. Overly sensitive hearing was not always a good thing. Only Evil Bones himself watched with interest. With all this.
He is waiting, waiting for life or death in front of him.
"Heh, good luck."
After a few minutes, the numb Muyinren was not dead. He looked at everything around him blankly, and when he saw the devilish smile, he became more and more frightened and uneasy.
"Aren't you going to ask me?" Muyinren was a little puzzled. Aren't these greedy robbers asking for information from him?
You must know that this poisonous tea has a characteristic. The "poison" of different races may not be effective. If the poisonous tea is made by "people of the same race", the "people of the same race" will definitely die suddenly after drinking it.
"It doesn't matter. Having this treasure is enough. Of course, if you are willing to say it, you can buy your life."
Evil Bones smiled indifferently, as if he didn't care at all.
And the poor Muyin man had never seen such a scene before. The constant deaths of his companions had already hit his shaky defenses. The choice between life and death made him even more precious about this hard-won life.
"I am the last silver herder of the gray and blue tribe. I cannot die."
Evil Bones smiled. Although he couldn't understand the other party's expression, he knew that it was only a matter of time before the other party would give in. Evil Bones didn't understand Shepherd Silver, but he understood people's hearts.
Greedy bandits would certainly not gamble their lives with "treasures".
What the Muyin man drank may not actually be medicinal tea. It was just tea made from an unlucky victim, not a compatriot of the Muyin man!
The only tea that is truly made from Muyin people is the cup in Evil Bone's hand. As for whether it is medicinal tea or poisonous tea, does that matter? Evil Bones doesn’t like gambling, he likes me and wants it all!
"These days, the Red Sand Pirates have lost a lot of people. Their weapons and equipment also have another treasure. Maybe, I can try again."
