This was a meal that Xu Guangling had a lot of fun eating.

The aura surrounds you, the fragrance lingers in your nose, and the person facing you is also a person who can communicate professionally.

Although, in the current situation, their communication is limited to:

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!"

Etcetera.

After the meal, Gan Congshi took Xu Guangling for a walk in the medicine garden, which was regarded as eating.

However, this walk is not a casual walk, but has a fixed goal.

Gan Congshi took Xu Guangling to the side of a small soil slope, about ten acres of small soil slope, and there was only one kind of plant planted everywhere, a tree with less obvious characteristics.

There are big and small.

The big one needs to be hugged by one person, and the small one is less than the thickness of a finger.

"Baby, you pull one down and take a look. Gan Congshi said with a mysterious smile.

So Xu Guangling did just that.

Then, he smoothly cooperated with the two-person turn, and inadvertently, he brought the plucked small tree root close to his nose, and then said in surprise: "Gan senior, this is the ...... we just ate"

If the Heavenly Mirror did not fall asleep.

If it's not so cold.

At this time, it will most likely laugh at a certain great grandmaster who pretends to be stupid and cute.

"Yes, that's it!" Gan Cong stroked his short beard and smiled with satisfaction, "Baby, let me tell you, a lot of medicinal herbs are used to eat." How's that, this one is delicious, isn't it?"

"It's delicious!" Xu Guangling nodded vigorously.

"This herb is called 'Vetiver Tree'. "Willing to enter the explanation mode:

"Its roots have a fresh fragrance, a little sweet, and can be used to make soups, like we just ate, we use it to stew meat, stew any meat, it's delicious. ”

"You can also use this root alone to boil directly, boil water to drink, and drink a bowl every morning, which has the effect of clearing the intestines, warming the body, and replenishing qi. ”

"Its roots are fragrant, but upward, its branches are bitter, especially bitter, and its bark, not only bitter, but also astringent, if you accidentally bite into it, it can make your whole mouth bitter and astringent for a long time, even if you rinse your mouth desperately with water, you can't solve it. ”

"What about its leaves?" Xu Guangling shook the small sapling in his hand and held it at the right time.

"The leaves, nothing special, just like the leaves of other trees. "Willing to obey.

Xu Guangling nodded.

This is how Xu Guangling's study here in Gan Cong Shi began.

Next, the old and the young worked together to dig up a few fragrant trees and bring them back, a large one with a diameter of about five centimeters, a medium one with a diameter of about three centimeters, and then two centimeters and one centimeter, several trees.

After returning, it was Xu Guangling who did it himself.

First of all, under the guidance of Gan Cong, the vetiver tree is cut off from the roots with a small saw, leaving only the roots.

"Baby, do you see, here is the root, this side is the trunk, the difference between the two parts is not very obvious, but you can still see a little difference, right?"

"Be sure to cut it off, and don't leave the trunk part on the roots, because then the root will be useless and unusable. ”

"It's best not to cut too much, because the most useful part of this incense root is the part closest to the trunk. ”

It's actually a kind of self-protection for the plant, like putting the most important item or money in a safe.

Because the roots are fragrant and rich in nutrients, the tree is easy to attract ants, so it concentrates nutrients in the upper part of the roots, the part closest to the trunk, and uses this way to preserve itself.

Then it has a lot of roots, probably to tell those ants that can't be avoided, tell them, even if you eat it, eat these roots of mine, don't touch the taproot above!

Is this considered "sacrificing wealth to avoid disaster"?

It is not correct to say that the leaves of this tree are not characteristic, because they are also rich in nutrients.

But along with the leaves, there are branches and bark, wild animals in nature, like wild sheep and bison, if you want to eat the leaves of this tree, "take a bite", and then they will go through a rollercoaster experience as if they have walked into a children's paradise.

The leaves are delicious, better than the leaves of other trees.

But!

And then, Nima's, what is this?

It's bitter!

It's so astringent!

And the bitterness extends from the branches and bark to the leaf stalks and the main veins!

This is a dead sheep and a dead cow.

They will shake their heads desperately, open their mouths and stick out their tongues, and then run to the river to drink desperately, but even if they drink their stomachs, they will not relieve the heavy bitterness in their mouths.

As a result, this kind of tree was put on the "gray list" by them.

Unless there are really no other leaves to eat, the leaves of this tree cannot be eaten!

In Xu Guangling's view, this is a plant that has evolved quite completely, from its roots, to its stems to branches, to its bark to leaves, it has been incorporated into a reasonable component distribution chain.

In this sense, this kind of tree already has a kind of "intelligence".

In other words, it's a smart tree.

And among the herbs, if you use stars as a grade, it can be classified as the highest-grade five stars.

If this kind of tree is erected on the eye of the Gathering Yuan Gathering Spirit Array, its upper limit will be very high, and it is very likely that it will be like the lotus flower in the previous life, from quantity to quality, and then there will be a qualitative change or abnormal change by leaps.

With the concept of elixir, this tree can be synthesized:

"Pei Yuan Dan", Pei Yuan solidifies the foundation, simply takes the roots.

"Xingqi Dan", on the basis of nourishing qi and replenishing qi, livens the qi and blood, and takes its roots and leaves.

"Washing the marrow pill", combined with other herbs, makes its medicinal properties penetrate into the bone marrow through qi and blood, and then clear the bone and marrow.

......

It can be extended to many other aspects.

All in all, this "fragrant vever tree" is not only of great benefit to ordinary people, but even for cultivators, it is also a kind of cure-all-like medicine, which can be widely used in the stages of condensing qi, clearing the pulse, and opening the body.

Even after entering the ground level, you can also use the "Bigu Dan" prepared by this tree to detoxify and nourish the body.

In an instant, Xu Guangling established a detailed file of this vetiver tree in the herb library in his mind, and promoted it to the "main medicine".

The so-called main medicine, here in Xu Guangling, is a medicine that is worth cultivating with the eyes of the Juyuan Gathering Spirit Great Array, in the previous life, such as ginseng, such as eleuthero, such as licorice, such as lotus, and kiwi and dragon fruit in fruits.

The picture shifts to the present scene.

The first step is to cut off the roots.

How to most appropriately separate the roots and stems, under Gan Congshi's tireless explanation, Xu Guangling has "learned".

Then it's time to clean.

There is nothing to say about this step, just wash it directly like washing vegetables, without too much attention, and I am not afraid of scraping and rubbing, and even those many small whiskers can be torn off in large quantities.

After washing, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and should not be exposed.

Once that's all that is taken care of, it's time to go back to the house.

At this time, Gan Congshi asked Xu Guangling to paint again, only painting this fragrant root tree.

This time it's all about it, its stem, its skin, its branches, its leaves, and its roots.

When Xu Guangling finished drawing, Gan Congshi also handed him a piece of paper that he had just written:

"Vetiver Tree".

"It is used in the roots, strengthens the body and replenishes qi, can be taken for a long time, and is of great benefit to cultivators. ”

"Its branches are bitter, its skin is astringent, it causes sore throat, and it is slightly poisonous. ”

After checking the things drawn by Xu Guangling and confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, Gan Congshi took out another kind of paper from the house, which was obviously formal and relatively high-end.

It was a piece of paper like a schoolboy's workbook, and on one page, in a □□ way, two paginations, left and right.

Gan Congshi asked Xu Guangling to draw the shape of the incense root tree on the left page, and asked him to write the line of words on the right page.

This is the teaching of Gan Congshi to Xu Guangling, the first kind of herb.
