The poem says: First say the ditch and then say the temple, the king of medicine comes down to guide,

There are many wonderful prescriptions for traditional Chinese medicine, and Lang Zhong has personally collected medicines since then.

Saying that, Luo Tiantian, the prefect of Daxing, was taken aback when he saw the teacher and Li Ming, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed rudely. "It turned out that the old fairy came, and he missed the welcome and forgave his sins in person. ”

Li Ming, "It turned out to be Master Luo, is Gao Tang good?"

Luo Tiantian, "Since the old immortal has been healed, his health has been very good now, thank you to the old immortal." “

Manager Liu, "Master Luo, do you know Doctor Li?"

Luo Tiantian, "This matter is a long story, please two of you hurry into the house, the meal is ready, we will talk while eating." ”

So, accompanied by the prefect Luo Tiantian, several people entered the post station.

That night, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, after eating and drinking enough, Luo Tiantian sent the teacher and Li Ming to rest, and he pulled Mr. Liu to continue drinking. "Manager Liu, do you know who this person you are with?"

Manager Liu, "Isn't he the divine doctor Li Ming?"

Luo Tiantian, "Do you know where he came from?"

Manager Liu, "I would like to listen to it." ”

Luo Tiantian, "You listen to me from the beginning. ”

Speaking of Li Ming, he has followed his father to collect medicine in the mountains since he was a child. One day, Li Ming's father was in the clinic, and Li Ming went into the mountains to collect medicine alone. I got up early in the morning, packed my bags, and went straight to the smelly ditch. The stinky water ditch is a ditch in the northernmost mountain of Niuquan Village. It extends from the Qingqing River to the northwest and is more than 20 miles long. This ditch is long and deep, and on both sides of the ditch are jujube trees, except for toon trees. A small stream at the bottom of the ditch flows through, and both sides of the creek are full of stinky trees, so this ditch is called the stinky water ditch. Not because it smells, but because of the stinky tree. The ditch is deep and the mountain is high, which is the characteristic of this ditch. Because the ditch is deep and the mountains are high, the vertical distribution of plants is very regular. The bottom of the stinky ditch is dominated by deciduous trees, such as toon, toon, jujube, poplar, elm and willow. The sunny slope is mainly sour jujube and large jujube trees, and the shady slope is mainly stinky toon, toon, and poplar trees. Above the mountainside, there are various plants of the shell family, cork oak, Liaodong oak, Mongolian oak. The summit is dominated by white birch and red birch trees. This is a typical vertical distribution of deciduous trees in North China. There are many types of shrubs, mainly bush clover and wattle, and small shrubs are mainly meadowsweet, and there are many types of meadowsweet, which mostly grow in the cracks of rocks, so the locals call it stone jumping, as well as bellflower, dry branch plum, rose, and rose. Flowering, there are countless herbaceous plants, including nasturtium, shandandan flowers, yellow flowers, and large-flowered delphinium. Red goat grass, white goat grass, goat beard grass, moss, all kinds of weeds. Yuanzhi, Bupleurum, Banxia, Pulsatilla, Clematis, Iris, Shegan, Skullcap and other precious Chinese herbs are all over the mountain. Pythons, grass snakes, and all kinds of venomous snakes often move through the meadows. There are also many kinds of poisonous insects such as scorpions, centipedes, lizards, pangolins, etc. Small wild animals, pheasants, hares, and squirrels jump up and down in the forest. Large wild animals such as foxes, antelopes, goats, roe deer, and wild boars are also often found in the forest.

The people who go to the stinky ditch are mainly hunters and herb pickers.

There are two temples in the stinky water ditch, one is the mountain temple and the other is the stone medicine king temple. The hunters mainly gathered in the mountain temple to rest. The herb pickers mainly gather in the Yaowang Temple to rest. They are very close to each other and have a lot of communication with each other. Still others are hunters and herb pickers. When they see wild animals, they become hunters, and they are usually medicine pickers. Whether it is a hunter or a herb picker, they are active in the area of the stinky ditch all year round. He is familiar with the situation in the mountains, knows where there are poisonous snakes and termites, and takes corresponding protective measures. These people are passed down from generation to generation, word of mouth, and the experience accumulated over several generations protects them from surviving in the stinky ditch. They are well-trained, physically strong, and agile, shuttling through the small paths of sheep intestines, and walking on the high mountains as if they were walking on flat ground. They are also very capable, and their greatest ability is to discern the direction and calculate the hour. Whether it's in a dense forest or even a cloudy day, they can find the right direction, accurately grasp the time, and the time they determine is even more accurate.

Li Ming's family has been a medicine collector in the stinky ditch for generations. He's been collecting medicine here for a few years now. He is best at catching snakes. Whether it is a big python, a grass snake, or all kinds of poisonous snakes, he can easily catch them. These poisonous snakes are as soft as noodles when they see him. Although they are highly poisonous, they are rare and precious medicinal materials. His most profitable thing is not to catch snakes, but to catch toads, toads have a team of tumors, whenever people touch it, they will secrete poisonous juice, collect them, is the most precious medicinal material, borneol.

One night, Li Ming was very tired from his work and fell asleep early on the stone table in the Yaowang Temple. In his sleep, he dreamed that he was collecting medicine in the mountains, and there was a small flower snake, which he discovered, which was a poisonous snake and a precious Chinese medicine. At the same time that he found the little flower snake, the little flower snake also found him. The little flower snake crawled quickly, trying to get out of his sight. He chased after the little flower snake tightly, not relaxing at all. Suddenly, the float stopped moving, and its body trembled. At this time, an old man in a white coat with white hair and white hair came and reached out to pick up the small float. Seeing the immortal wind bones, Li Ming stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying, "I've seen the old man." ”

The old man in white looked at Li Ming, put the little snake in his hand, didn't speak, laughed, and then floated away and disappeared. Li Ming shouted loudly, "The old immortal walks slowly, the old immortal ,——"

In the shouting, Li Ming sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and felt that his body was covered with sweat, and then he knew that he was dreaming. He shook his head, lay down, and fell asleep again.

Exactly: there are many exotic flowers and fruits in the mountains, and there are many flower snakes and toads.

Ordinary people come to pick flowers and fruits, and Lang Zhong picks medicine to catch flower snakes.

Li Ming dreamed of an old immortal in the Yaowang Temple, what other adventures did he have?
