Chapter 136: The Power of the Whole County

Qi replenishing spiritual objects can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the qi replenishing pill practiced by the furnace, but at this time, the Taoist people practice qi all follow the inner pill method, and few people have smelted and taken the outer pill, like the kind of pill that Tianqizi gave him that day is very rare, even if there is, they are all left many years ago, and there are very few surviving people, and it is extremely difficult to obtain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There is also a category of qi-replenishing herbs, such as mountain ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes, aconite, rehmannia and other herbs have qi-tonifying effect, the longer the years, the stronger the medicinal power, but the longer the years, the rarer it is, and the rarer it is, the rarer it is.

Nanfeng is looking for the latter, posting a notice, in the name of tribute, calling the medicine farmers and people into the mountains to search, those who find more than 50 years of qi-tonifying herbs will be exempted from endowment for three years, those who have found 100 years will be exempted from endowment for 10 years, and those who have found 500-year-old qi-replenishing herbs will be exempted from endowment for life. If it is found for more than 1,000 years, it will not only be exempted from taxation for life, but also exempted from military labor and miscellaneous service.

At present, it is the autumn and winter farming slack, and as soon as the notice comes out, thousands of people are empty, this is a heavy reward, and everyone wants to try their luck.

However, the first to send the qi-replenishing herbs were the wealthy merchants, these people were rich and calculating, and after calculating, they found that it was also very cost-effective to spend money to buy them from outside, so they sent people out to buy them.

However, in three days, dozens of qi-tonifying herbs were obtained, and after five days, hundreds of servings were obtained.

If it is commonly used in medicine, the herbs are to be boiled and decocted, but they cannot be decocted when used to replenish qi and practice, and the decoction has a lot of fire, and taking too much will lead to the prosperity of qi and blood, and the heat is uneasy.

The qi-replenishing herbs used to practice qi can only be ground into powder and taken with rootless water. The so-called rootless water is rain, which does not touch the earth's veins and yin, and can catalyze medicinal power.

The fat man has already begun to practice the eight golden bodies, although the eight golden bodies are foreign skills but also need to practice qi, both to practice qi is inevitable to cross the knee to breathe, foreign monks use meditation, meditation and breathing have the effect of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, but the former is passive, and the latter is intentional, the effect of breathing is better than meditation.

If you want to practice qi, you have to drink medicine, the two of them eat together, most of the qi-replenishing herbs are bitter, the two of them drink the bitter green water every day, swallow the grass chaff-like medicinal powder, it is really bitter.

Plants and trees grow between heaven and earth, bathing in rain and drinking dew, reflecting the sun and wind, absorbing and storing the aura of heaven and earth in the twilight, taking qi-tonifying herbs is much faster than the aura obtained by meditating on the knees.

However, there is also a big disadvantage of taking qi-tonifying herbs, that is, the aura obtained by exhaling can be directly incorporated into the qihai dantian, and the aura obtained by taking qi-tonifying pills must be digested and drawn out by the spleen and stomach, and once the aura is dispersed, it must be introduced into the dantian. If you run around, it may lead to a mess of breath, and if it is more serious, it will go crazy, damage the five internal organs, and destroy the roots.

Nanfeng has Gao Xuan cultivation, practice qi guidance is very familiar, can take medicine three times a day, the aura of the herb is beneficial to the grass itself, not for the benefit of people, the essence of taking medicine is to plunder other people's things for their own use, if the herb hides the aura is very, people can only get one or two, the rest of the part is wasted, it is rare to make the best use of things.

Taking the medicine three times, each time it only takes half an hour to refine and absorb, the gain is very little, but it is much faster than breathing.

Nanfeng takes medicine three times a day, and the fat man takes medicine once a day, and Nanfeng takes medicine three times because this thing is bitter and difficult to swallow, not because he can't take more. But the fat man doesn't dare to eat more, he is unfamiliar with his practice, and his guidance is weak, even if he takes it once a day, it is rare to absorb it all, rushing up and down, burping and farting.

Taking medicine is to avoid the taste, take the qi-replenishing herbs to avoid spicy, cut off the meat and fishy, you can only eat some rice and noodles every day, wine and meat can not be touched, salt is fire, and you can't eat it.

"How long do you have to drink this?" the fat man held a large wide-mouthed bowl with a sticky green medicinal soup inside.

"Drink until you can't afford it. Nanfeng said, the qi tonic herb is a tonic, the rich and noble people have many wives and concubines, and the qi and blood are often lost, so they took them to supplement the qi and blood, because they used too much, the price was expensive, and the two of them drank more than 50 years of strong medicinal power, a bowl of medicine is enough to convert more than a dozen taels of silver, and fortunately to be an official, greedy for money, otherwise it is really unaffordable to drink it.

"I've practiced a lot of exercises, and I've never seen people drink this stuff like we drink every day. "The fat man never had the courage to bite it.

Nanfeng drank his own bowl first, wiped his mouth and said, "Our talent is not as good as others, and we are late in entry, so if we want to achieve something early, we can only fill it left and right and work hard." ”

The fat man sighed helplessly, drank the bowl of soup medicine with his eyes closed, and grabbed the dry powder to eat, swallowing it with great difficulty.

After finally finishing eating, the fat man rinsed his mouth with water, "Master once said that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, let's do this trick, will it be rare for a long time?"

"No, just suffer more. Nanfeng shook his head and said, at present, the cultivation methods are all in the Inner Dan way, and the Inner Dan Road has high requirements for talent, the talent of the two is not good, and they will never get ahead by hard practice alone, so they can only rely on external forces.

The fat man was just about to speak, when he suddenly hiccuped.

As soon as he saw the fat man hiccuping, Nanfeng hurriedly got up and left, this guy breathed again, and soon he would fart.

Just wanted to go back to the room to meditate and guide, the county Cheng Cui Zhen walked in quickly, went to the fat man's room, saw Nanfeng, made a gesture at him, and signaled Nanfeng not to go back to the room, he had something to do.

Cui Zhen knows the rules very well, although he can see that the fat man doesn't care about the, every time he encounters something, he still goes to report to the fat man first, in fact, he also knows that the fat man will always be the sentence 'This is a small matter, the master is in charge', but he still won't miss the steps that should be taken.

When Cui Zhen entered the door, the fat man was farting, and in embarrassment, he kicked him out without waiting for Cui Zhen to speak.

After Cui Zhen went out, he walked quickly to Nanfeng, "My lord, something happened." ”

"Huh?" Nanfeng frowned.

"Please speak to the front room. Cui Zhen said, it is cold today, and there are snowflakes in the sky.

Nanfeng could only go to the middle courtyard with him, and the two of them were now borrowing the power of the whole county of Yuxian County to help them practice, in order to benefit for a long time, they could not slack off in their official duties.

The two sat down from the front hall, and a servant carried a brazier for the two, Cui Zhen warmed his hands with a fire, and said in a low voice, "Just now Qinghuai Township sent someone to deliver a letter, and more than a dozen villagers died there. ”

"And the bandits?" asked Nanfeng, who ignored the king's law, cut down and sold stone and wood, not only paid the taxes set by the county, but also distributed the grain, rice, and cloth requested by the townships, so that the situation of starving to death and freezing to death should not happen.

"Not a bandit. Cui Zhen shook his head.

"What's that?" South Wind looked at him in confusion.

Cui Zhen frowned and whispered, "It's a monster." ”

"What youkai?" asked Nanfeng.

"Didn't the adults send a notice to look for the tribute medicinal materials before, under the notice, there are many people in the county who go into the mountains to look for medicine, and the dozen or so villagers who died are the hunters and medicine farmers who went into the mountains to collect medicine," Cui Zhen got up and walked to the public table, took back a letter and handed it to Nanfeng, "This is a gift sent by Qinghuai, you can see it." ”

Nanfeng took the letter, took out the letterhead and opened it to read, the letter was written by Qinghuai Township, the dead people were from the same village, yesterday morning a group of people went into the mountains to dig up medicinal herbs, and returned in the middle of the night, but walked more than a dozen, only one came back, the young man was frightened, lost his soul, and after coming back, he was incoherent, just kept repeating, 'Big ginseng, big monsters, all dead, Heishigou'.

Naqinghuai Township is located in the northwest of Yuxian County, and the young man said that the black stone ditch is a treacherous place in the deep mountains, and the villagers know that there are good medicinal materials growing there, but because of the treacherous terrain, few people go to dig.

The young man was frightened, and the villagers were frightened by the young man, and they were afraid of the monsters, so they did not dare to go to confirm the search, so they had to ask the county government for help, hoping that the yamen would send officers and soldiers to look for him.

"Could it be the essence of mountain ginseng?" Cui Zhen asked in a low voice.

Nanfeng shook his head, it is not uncommon for different species to become sperm at this time, but it is usually birds, beasts, snakes and insects that kill people, and plants and trees are sperm, and they are not fierce, that ginseng must be there, but it should not be it that kills the villagers, but a certain fierce alien who guards ginseng.

"How to deal with it?" Cui Zhen asked again.

Nanfeng didn't answer, this matter was his negligence, the villagers didn't understand, but he understood, but where there are natural treasures, there are usually alien guards around, and they will be the first to devour them when they are mature.

"Why don't I reply to him and let them take care of it themselves?" Cui Zhen saw that Nanfeng frowned and was silent, so he guessed that he didn't want to interfere.

Nanfeng waved his hand, "This matter started because of me, I can't stand idly by, you go and inform Zhang Zhong and ask him to take someone to Qinghuai Township with me......"
