Chapter 42: Learning Alchemy

Mei Niang sat down to eat with Sister Lan's family again, but this time she had no intention of indulging in the food made by Sister Lan, but pretended to smile inadvertently and asked, "I heard that Brother Zhang went to Grandpa Mu to learn skills today, Brother Zhang's luck is really good, huh?"

Sister Lan didn't notice Brother Zhang's slightly changed expression, she still nodded happily yes, and gave Mei Niang a little bit of food, and asked her why she ate less with concern. Mei Niang had to be a little embarrassed to say that she had eaten too much at noon, so she did it.

Mei Niang said curiously: "What are the criteria for Grandpa Mu's selection? I wonder if I will have this possibility of being selected?"

Brother Zhang was a little embarrassed on his face, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, and we also swear not to say anything about Grandpa Mu." ”

Mei Niang knew at this time that she couldn't ask anything, so she pulled on to other topics, after eating, teased Xiwa, Mei Niang took out the toys that had been prepared long ago and handed them to Xiwa, this is still Dabai's previous choice, saying that it was an external gadget, so that Xiwa was happy and immediately forgot that Mei Niang couldn't stay unhappy, and went to the yard to play with the toys, and Mei Niang left Sister Lan's house in Sister Lan's house in Sister Lan's constant advice that he must come to play often.

Along the way, Mei Niang didn't need to hurry, so she looked at the village and thought about her own situation.

That Feng Gongzi only knew about Grandpa Mu's existence after being here for three years, so after knowing it, he couldn't rush to find the old man directly, because the older he was, the more likely he was to stay in this village, and the more worries he would have. And he doesn't have this problem, if he goes directly to see Grandpa Mu, even if he causes his unhappiness, he can get out. First, you can use the excuse that you just came, just out of curiosity, to see if you can have a chance to learn from Grandpa Mu, and second, you are relatively young, and it is easy to be believed by pretending to be stupid and tender. And these things, he still has to hide from Feng Gongzi to do, after all, there are many other tasks to be completed on his body, and the sooner he is looking for Emperor Zhang, the better, otherwise the older the reincarnation, the more he will lose the physical opportunity to practice, which is entrusted by the Lin family, and the little boy does not have so much time to wait for himself to slowly grind how to get out here. If he told Feng Gongzi himself, with his character, he would definitely block it, and he would be in a dilemma.

After making up her mind, Mei Niang quickened her pace. Luckily, it's dark and it's rarely crowded, and everyone seems to be enjoying the time with their families after a busy day.

Not long after, Mei Niang returned to Feng Gongzi's house. When she saw him again, Mei Niang felt that he seemed to be in a much higher spirit, probably because she saw new hope.

Feng Gongzi had already sorted out two books for the introduction of alchemy, and when he saw Mei Niang coming back, he handed it to her casually, saying that let her understand it first, tomorrow morning he will go up the mountain to collect medicine, and only tomorrow afternoon when there is no patient to disturb him will he have time to explain to her, as for how to deal with Grandpa Mu's matter, Feng Gongzi feels that it is a matter of the future, and plans to discuss it again in the evening.

Mei Niang took a deep breath, although she had known this Feng Gongzi for a short time, she still had a very clear grasp of his character, and it seemed that her plans were indeed not revealed at all. Since he had to go to collect medicine every morning, he had plenty of time to carry out his plan.

Seeing that Mei Niang picked up the book but was a little dazed, Feng Gongzi thought that she was afraid that she would know nothing and be difficult to understand, so she smiled and said: "These are all primers, it is not difficult to look, and when you understand the principles of these two books, I will take you up the mountain to identify the herbs." Your age is young, I only took two months to read these two books at the time, and no matter how slow you read, you can finish it in more than a month. ”

It seems that this Feng Gongzi is indeed a quite qualified master, and after deciding to teach Mei Niang, his attitude was impatient, and he spoke very carefully and clearly, Mei Niang hurriedly retracted her thoughts and nodded.

It's still early to return to the room, and I've experienced too many things in a day today, although Mei Niang is a little tired, but her spirit is still a little excited, and she doesn't feel like sleeping at all. After thinking about it, she took out the book that Feng Gongzi had given her.

One book is called "The Way of Alchemy", and I took a look at the content, probably about the history of the development of alchemy, as well as the different manifestations of various cultivations, similar to a description of some of the processes that need to be experienced on the road of alchemy, but it only talks about the level of senior alchemists, which is indeed an introductory book.

The other book is "Alchemy Basics", which tells about some basic principles and knowledge that need to be mastered to become a junior alchemist, which is what Mei Niang urgently needs at present. Coincidentally, this book explains some of the content before becoming an intermediate alchemist, and what Emperor Zhang left behind is some of the content after the intermediate alchemist, if combined, Mei Niang is confident that she can make some achievements in alchemy in the future.

Mei Niang naturally chose to read "Alchemy Basics" first, but Mei Niang didn't plan to study the division and performance of alchemists, because she had also read the books left by Emperor Zhang before, and she didn't know much about this aspect.

What Mei Niang didn't expect was that she had just started to enter the state of reading, and she felt a great interest in this alchemy, and the text on it didn't seem to be difficult to understand at all. Mei Niang, who originally thought that she might be able to fall asleep by reading the book, actually spent a whole night and basically finished reading the book.

Closing the book, Mei Niang, who was still unfinished, accidentally saw that there was already some early dawn outside, and couldn't help but be startled, although it was not a big deal that she didn't sleep all night, but this time passed too quickly, right? At this time, Mei Niang had already forgotten what Feng Gongzi said, he spent two months after reading these two books, and he only felt that he was indeed too involved in reading them. At this time, yesterday's fatigue and the night's sleeplessness, Mei Niang couldn't help yawning, and fell asleep with a book in her arms.

Feng Gongzi came to see Mei Niang when the sky was basically bright, and saw that she was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but shake his head, probably thinking that children of this age were still sleepy, so he left a note, telling Mei Niang to get up and eat, and he carried the medicine basket to collect medicine.

slept until almost noon, Mei Niang woke up, and when she saw the note left by Feng Gongzi, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and she didn't care that the food was already cold, so she swallowed it in three or two bites, and just finished cleaning up the bowl, Feng Gongzi had already arrived home.

Seeing Mei Niang sitting there holding a book, Feng Gongzi couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. Since Mei Niang proposed to apprentice yesterday, his mentality has also changed very subtly, and he even feels that even if he can't get out of this small mountain village, it is not too difficult to accept.

"Is there anything you don't understand about what you read in the morning?" Feng Gongzi asked very gently.

Mei Niang wanted to shake her head, thought about it for a while, and nodded.

Feng Gongzi put the medicine basket in the basket and said with a smile: "I'll cook first, you help these herbs spread in the yard to dry first, and I'll explain to you when I'm done eating." ”

Mei Niang was busy, took the medicine basket and went to dry the herbs. In the process of drying, she corresponded to the names of the herbs she had memorized in her mind, and found that almost nothing she knew, and it was also true that what Emperor Zhang left for herself was basically a record of rare herbs or superb herbs, and she didn't know anything about these ordinary.

Feng Gongzi simply made two green dishes, and the rice simmered quickly, because he didn't like to waste time on these things, and he always injected spiritual energy into the fire to speed up the early ripening of the rice, and the rice that came out of this way still had a hint of strange fragrance.

It also made him very frustrated, at first he would refine some pills to practice his hands, but later found that the pills he refined were basically useless. The most serious diseases in this village can also be cured with medicinal herbs, and it seems that his aura can only be used when cooking.

And when he began to experience the beast tide, he also thought about using his cultivation to help the villagers, but he was unanimously opposed, on the grounds that it was more than enough for Grandpa Mu to choose someone to deal with it. Because these villagers didn't know what aura and cultivation were, Feng Gongzi had no choice but to put away those who were full of interest.

These may also be the reasons why I am very happy to see Mei Niang, and finally someone understands me. Thinking of this, Feng Gongzi couldn't help but look at Mei Niang again, and found that she had finished drying the herbs, and was still looking at the herbs one by one, as if she wanted to figure out what these were, so she nodded secretly, no matter what the child's talent was, her attitude was still quite gratifying.

"Let's eat first". Feng Gongzi called.

"Oh, okay. Mei Niang, who had just finished eating, was a little depressed, and she didn't seem to be able to eat at all.

Seeing that Mei Niang ate less, Feng Gongzi was a little embarrassed, and after scratching his head, he said with some embarrassment: "I really don't know how to cook, I have eaten that Sister Lan's meal, and it is indeed quite delicious." ”

Mei Niang saw that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, didn't you see that I have eaten all my food in the morning?" I just got up a little late, and I didn't eat too much and wasn't hungry. ”

Feng Gongzi was skeptical, and finally said: "Maybe you girls will have some talent for cooking, or will you try to cook from tonight?"

Mei Niang didn't expect that she would cause this kind of thing if she ate less at one meal, and she was a little helpless, but she thought that she still had some ingredients bought in the town, which could be regarded as some of her own confidence, so she nodded, and she was embarrassed to do nothing.

Feng Gongzi also finished eating at this time, and went to the room to get a book, but it was a book introducing some medicinal herbs, on which most of the medicinal herbs were drawn and their effects.

After handing the book to Mei Niang, he smiled very kindly and said: "You can also flip through this book when you have time, you can recognize the herbs I pick back every day, and slowly you will be able to recognize all of them." ”

Mei Niang nodded, seeing that Feng Gongzi was still looking at herself, she reacted that he wanted to ask if he still didn't understand what he had read in the morning, so he hurriedly took out the book "Alchemy Basics".

There are some places that I have repeatedly thought about and deduced, and Mei Niang also felt that it would be better to confirm it again, so she mentioned them one by one.

At first, Feng Gongzi explained in great detail and enjoyed it, and the further he went, the wider his eyes opened, because Mei Niang's questions were not only becoming more and more professional, but also seeing that the book was about to be finished, she was still asking.

Mei Niang, who was still waiting for Feng Gongzi's answer, raised her head, just saw Feng Gongzi's shocked face, touched her face very curiously, and asked very coquettishly: "Hasn't my face been cleaned?"

Feng Gongzi stood up abruptly, took a few deep breaths before holding back his excitement and asked, "Have you really never learned alchemy before?"

Mei Niang nodded, although she also read the book left by Emperor Zhang, but she couldn't understand it at all, it should be regarded as unstudied, right?

Feng Gongzi looked like a freak or had found a treasure, and he didn't know what to say at all. It seems that since Mei Niang appeared, he felt that the world began to be incomprehensible again, could this be the genius he had heard of before?

Seeing that Mei Niang looked at herself very suspiciously, and stretched out her little hand from time to time to wipe her little face, and tidied up her hair, Feng Gongzi laughed out loud: "I'm just too surprised at your learning speed." So, you've finished reading the book?"

Mei Niang realized what was going on with Feng Gongzi's expression, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so she nodded.

"What about the other one?" Feng Gongzi asked very urgently.

"I haven't seen that yet. Mei Niang shook her head embarrassedly, and added in her heart that she didn't plan to read it.

Feng Gongzi breathed a sigh of relief, if she had read and understood two books in one morning, she would really not only be a geek, but simply a demon.

Feng Gongzi thought for a while, and then said to Mei Niang: "In that case, your speed can also be slowed down." You read this book of herbs first, and if you can recognize most of them within a week, I can take you up the mountain. ”

At this time, Feng Gongzi still had reservations, he had spent half a year memorizing this herb book, but he would definitely not reveal this matter again, if Mei Niang really took a week to recognize this herb, then let him be embarrassed as a master.

Mei Niang nodded, presumably this is not too difficult. Because at that time, she remembered the herbs left by Emperor Zhang, and it only took three or five days. In terms of the varieties of Warcraft, no matter how long it takes, he can't remember it, but he has a memory that is difficult for him to understand in terms of these herbs and formations, this may be his talent, right?
