The Secret History of Mars

Yuan Yizhou took the purple clay pot given by Elder Cang Xi and followed Ye Qinghe out of the tea room. Ye Qinghe continued walking along the corridor, completely unaware that Yuan Yizhou behind him was already upset.

"'Thank you'?! I can only say these two words from beginning to end. What's wrong with me!"

"Elder Cang Xi's two sentences seem to have answered all the questions I carefully prepared last night: They are the guardians of mankind, so they are friends but not enemies; Xirang is protecting Xingmeng."

"But what exactly is Xiliang, and why does it protect Xingmeng? What is in this purple clay pot, and why should it be used up before seeing Xingmeng? Also, she said I look like Bao Xi, who is Bao Xi? ?”

Yuan Yizhou's brain finally started working again, and before he knew it, he had followed Ye Qinghe to a small door at the end of the corridor. This time Ye Qinghe didn't knock on the door, but opened the door and walked straight in. Yuan Yizhou followed behind and also entered the room.

This is a very ordinary reception room. There is a set of round sunken sofas in the middle of the room, surrounded by a round coffee table. On the coffee table is a set of mutton-fat jade tea sets.

"Please sit down." Ye Qinghe greeted Yuan Yizhou, "We have a lot to talk about today. This room will make you feel more comfortable."

After Ye Qinghe said this, Yuan Yizhou discovered that this room was decorated according to his company's reception room. The only difference was that the company's reception room was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. There were no floor-to-ceiling windows here, just walls.

As Ye Qinghe sat down, he filled the kettle on the tea set and placed it on a black area on the coffee table that looked like the surface of an induction cooker. His movements were as natural as boiling hot water and making a pot of good tea to entertain him. , the only difference was that he found that the temperature Ye Qinghe entered into that area through the touch screen was minus 80 degrees Celsius! Her pot is not filled with water!

Ye Qinghe found Yuan Yizhou staring at him and teased him: "Don't you humans also have the saying, 'Why do you need a pill from Emperor Wei, and seven bowls of tea from Lu Tong?' Why, Martians boil water and drink tea very quickly" Is it weird?"

"What you are boiling is not water. At minus 80 degrees Celsius, the dripping water has turned into ice a long time ago." Yuan Yizhou said vigilantly. The gaffe he just made in front of Elder Cang Xi made him doubt whether he was hypnotized. Along the way, he finally regained consciousness and vigilance.

"Good eyesight, this is indeed not water, it is the extract of Zhu Yucao, bring it here," Ye Qinghe stretched out his hand to Yuan Yizhou, pointed at the purple sand pottery pot in his hand and said, "Elder Cang Xi is so generous, doing this is simply Helping humanity cheat.”

"Zhu Yucao?" Yuan Yizhou heard this name for the first time. He handed the purple clay pot to Ye Qinghe and asked, "What is this?"

Seeing that he was still alert, Ye Qinghe asked with a smile: "Are you going to stand there and interrogate me from a high position, or are you going to sit down and listen comfortably to me answering all your questions?"

Yuan Yizhou realized that something was wrong with his appearance, so he sat down on the sofa facing Ye Qinghe.

Ye Qinghe looked unsurprised and said to Yuan Yizhou: "Zhu Yucao is a carbon-based life enhancer. When we come to Earth, we usually drink it to relieve discomfort, just like you humans drinking tea. It’s the same thing as refreshing.”

Ye Qinghe opened the purple sand pottery pot, scooped out a spoonful of Zhuyucao with the teaspoon on the tea tray, and placed it on the tea table for later use. Then he used a bamboo tea needle to carefully pick out the flowers and leaves of Zhu Yucao. Only then did Yuan Yizhou see clearly that Zhu Yucao looked like a leek, but had green flowers.

"Tsk, tsk, it is indeed the secret treasure of Elder Cangxi!" Ye Qinghe praised, and then said, "If you humans drink Zhuyucao, your body functions will be greatly improved, especially the connections of nerve cells in the brain. Activate to another level.”

At this time, the temperature set by the extraction agent was reached, and the pot whistled, interrupting Ye Qinghe's story. She quickly poured the Zhu Yucao on the tea bag into the Kung Fu teapot, and then poured the extractant in, and then the kind of lingering cloud that she had just seen in Elder Cangxi's teahouse appeared, and it was very... Yuan Yizhou soon smelled the fragrant smell.

"Although it is temporary, the purity and quality of the Zhu Yucao given by Elder Cang Xi are excellent, enough to maintain the efficacy until the review of the Elders' House is completed." Ye Qinghe continued, without stopping the movements in his hands, waiting The clouds had almost dispersed. She poured the extracted Zhuyucao juice into the Gongdao cup through the tea strainer, then dispensed a cup from the Gongdao cup and delivered it to Yuan Yizhou. The whole process was completed in one go, what a beautiful tea ceremony!

"Drink it while it's fresh, don't waste Elder Cangxi's kindness."

"A liquid of over minus 80 degrees Celsius! It's almost the same as liquid carbon dioxide. It's enough to give me frostbite if I touch it. You want me to drink it?!" Yuan Yizhou said in disbelief.

"When did Mr. Yuan become so timid? Try touching it and see if it can give you frostbite." Ye Qinghe rolled his eyes, looking disgusted with his ignorance. "If you don't want to drink, I can do it for you, but I will only answer the questions you ask once. Don't blame me if you don't understand."

Yuan Yizhou was so aroused by her that he could only bite the bullet and touched the mutton-fat jade tea cup in front of him with his little finger. A cool and refreshing feeling spread along the belly of his little finger. He was stunned for a moment, then brought the index finger and middle finger of his left hand together, and picked up the teacup with his thumb. His ring finger and little finger dragged the bottom of the teacup, and held the teacup steadily to his mouth. He looked at the light green and clear liquid in the teacup and took a bite. Grit your teeth and drink it all in one gulp.

The first thing that changed was the Luo Tangyi on his body. I wonder if it was Yuan Yizhou's illusion. Every element of this personal guard was stretching happily; then Yuan Yizhou felt that his vision and hearing had become extremely clear and sensitive. , he could easily tell that even the shape of Ye Qinghe's pupils, who was sitting opposite, was not perfectly round.

Yuan Yizhou quickly closed his eyes and began to observe the changes in his body using the body scanning method he often used during yoga meditation. As the Zhuyu grass juice descends in my body, my cervical vertebrae that have been stiff for many years have never felt more relaxed. My lungs are like blowing up balloons. The inhalation and exhalation cycle is significantly longer, and the muscles around my body give my body a stronger sense of wrapping. , the brain's carnival began, even with his eyes closed, he could see the universe of stars appearing in the part between his eyes!

This feeling is so wonderful!

He slowly opened his eyes, and a joy from the bottom of his heart floated on his face and emerged from the corners of his mouth.

"Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier? Look at how you looked just now, like an ant on a hot pot!" Ye Qinghe looked at Yuan Yizhou and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Yuan, one sip of Zhuyu Grass Juice has brought you to your peak. It’s a state that only a few people on earth can achieve after a lifetime of self-cultivation. You have a word to describe this state, it’s called enlightenment!”

"Am I enlightened?!" Yuan Yizhou asked.

"This is just a description of how you feel in your body. Objectively speaking, your brain neurons have been activated by about 20%, and your IQ should be similar to the current highest record for people on earth, which is around 300." Ye Qinghe explained, " Two more drinks, please.”

Ye Qinghe handed out two more cups of tea from the fair cup and pushed them in front of Yuan Yizhou, "The normal neuron firing rate of the human brain is about 10%. 140 is considered a very high IQ. Although you have doubled it, for the sake of safety, It’s better to drink this cup of Zhu Yucao. You will need to use your enhanced brain for the issues we will discuss later.”

Yuan Yizhou did not hesitate this time and drank two cups of Zhuyu grass juice one after another. After his body stabilized, he looked directly at Ye Qinghe and asked in a calm and magnetic voice, "Who is Bao Xi?!"

"Pfft," Ye Qinghe couldn't hold back and laughed, "This Zhu Yucao is really powerful. After three cups, Mr. Yizhou already has the wisdom to talk to God. The first question turned out to be to gossip about our Mars Elders of the House of Elders!”
