Chapter 6 The Northern Martial Classics
The heavy snow overnight stopped near dawn, perhaps because the snow was too heavy, and there were no clouds on Baiyun Mountain, and the sun could be seen on the other side of the mountain early.
When he woke up, he was covered with his own torn cotton wool and yellow straw underneath, and he looked left and right, only to find that he was in a firewood house next to the academy kitchen.
It's in my own room!
Du Afu sat up from the thatched pile abruptly, looked at the sun that had just appeared outside the window, hurriedly got out of bed, pushed open the door and ran towards He Hanling's house.
Stepping into the deep snow, if it were in normal times, Du Afu would definitely fall because of this, but he didn't know why he reacted in an instant, and as soon as he slammed his feet, he felt a breath of gas burst out of his chest, and then the whole person took off, stabilized his body and fell into the snow.
Du Afu looked back in disbelief, he actually jumped out of half a foot in this jump?
But I can't think about it now, after all, what He Hanling hates the most is being late.
Thinking of this, he jumped and began to gallop on the snow, and he felt a breath of fresh air in his chest running from the top of his head to his legs, making his breathing longer and his movements much lighter.
Could it be that he succeeded in breaking the air pocket last night? Forget it, go to Mr. first, and then go to Lu Xingyu to ask for clarification later.
After a while, Ah Fu came to the house where Lu Xingyu came last night, and the whole person took a big horizontal step, just outside the door, and his movements were very light, and he almost couldn't hear the sound when he landed.
Du Ah Fu contained the ecstasy in his heart, straightened his clothes, and carefully picked the weeds in his hair, and then knocked on the door.
"Knock knock!"
Ah Fu cleared his throat and shouted in a low voice:
"Sir?"
There was no movement in the house, and in the middle of the night, just as Afu was about to knock on the door again, a deep voice came from inside the house:
"Come in. ”
"Huh!"
After agreeing, Du Afu cautiously pushed open the door and entered.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a neatly dressed gray robe standing by a large wooden barrel that was steaming, and was throwing some herbs into it.
Du Afu had long been accustomed to this, and began to take off his clothes, and then walked to the medicine barrel and waited.
"That's it!"
After He Hanling saw that the cyan stone that was thrown into it had melted, he said to Afu.
Afu nodded, and then jumped into the barrel without hesitation.
"Zizi!"
Ah Fu gasped, feeling the stinging pain through the bones, although he had been tortured countless times over the years, but for some reason, the herb soaked today was a little more painful than before, maybe because of the cyan stone?
Since Ah Fu came to the academy and proposed to He Hanling that he wanted to learn martial arts, He Hanling would brew herbs and wait for him every morning to repair his broken martial arts.
It's just that for some reason, every time he soaks this medicine, he is extremely uncomfortable, and it feels like thousands of small needles are stabbing around his body, and after a while, he is like a poisonous insect climbing his viscera, and his whole body is itchy.
When he first soaked this herb, he would faint after barely holding on for a quarter of an hour, but He Hanling found a way for him to stay awake and persevere, and that method .......
Just when Ah Fu was about to faint from the pain, He Hanling put a purple herb that swirled from seven leaves in front of his eyes and asked:
"The name of the drug, the properties of the medicine, the efficacy. ”
Du Afu bit the tip of his tongue to keep Lingtai awake, and replied weakly:
"Name of the drug....... Spiral Grass ....... Sexual pungent and warm, efficacy....... Efficacy....... It is highly toxic, but some people think that he has the ability to invigorate blood and dispel stasis, and can be used as internal injury medicine. ”
"Hmm. ”
He Hanling nodded after hearing this, and then put the seven-spinning grass into the barrel in the stunned eyes of Afu.
Du Ah Fu swallowed his saliva, and asked with some weakness:
"Sir... This seven-spin grass... Is that one of the medicines?"
No wonder this herb soaks so tingling to the bone! It turns out that it is really digesting bones!
He Hanling nodded, continued to take out a pitch-black herb from his hand, which bloomed like the tail of a scorpion, and asked:
"The name of the drug, the properties of the medicine, the efficacy. ”
Du Afu collected his thoughts, recalled the "Beiwu Pharmacopoeia" that he had memorized so well, and then replied;
"The name of the medicine is scorpion, the medicinal properties are bitter and cold, the medicinal effect is hemolytic and disinfection, it is an important medicine for blood stasis and obstruction, and it cannot be used more, otherwise it will damage the blood and blood ......"
Before Ah Fu finished speaking, he saw He Hanling take out a large handful of scorpion grass and put it into the barrel!
"Sir, this ......."
Ah Fu was a little speechless, where is the herbal bath he soaked, it is simply a poisonous bath!
"The first seven hundred and eighty herbs are all sweet, or tonic, or adjuvant, in order to suppress the toxicity of this one hundred and thirty-five main medicines, starting today, you will begin to learn and memorize the medicinal properties and dosages of the remaining one hundred and thirty-five main medicines. ”
He Hanling saw that Ah Fu had an expression of eating a dead child, and still said with an unchanged face:
"Today, I'll only remember these two flavors, okay, let's memorize them from what I learned before!"
When he heard this, he wanted to say something, but at this time, the medicinal power penetrated into the bone marrow, and the pain made him take a breath, and he directly bared his teeth and couldn't say anything.
His whole body was soaked in the medicine barrel and only one head was left in it, and the most different thing today was that his chest was the most tingling, and it was very stuffy!
"I couldn't hold it anymore and started to memorize. ”
He Hanling watched coldly, as if he didn't care about Afu's life or death at all.
Du Afu finally couldn't bear the pain anymore and began to recite aloud:
"One tael of jujubes, half a tael of wolfberry, three taels of chrysanthemums, one penny of motherwort, two taels of lung grass, ........ of two taels of lung grass"
A string of medicine names popped out of Du Ah Fu's mouth like beads, and He Hanling looked at Du Ah Fu who was desperately reciting the names of the medicine with his eyes closed to relieve the pain, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently had a smile.
About half an hour later, Du Afu walked out of He Hanling's house with vague steps, stepped into the snow again, and fell directly into the snow.
After a while, there was not the slightest movement in the house, and after relieving his strength, he got up from the snow, staggered to the hut, picked up the two barrels of night incense, and walked towards the door.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, an old man in a cloth suit came from the other side of the street with a small food box.
"Yo! Liu Ye! It's early!"
As soon as Ah Fu saw that it was Lao Liu, he greeted him.
"You kid, I'll wait for you at the gate of the academy later, and I'll be back early!"
The two passed by without the slightest stop.
The sun was now fully out, but the snow had not yet disappeared, and there were still few pedestrians on the streets.
Du Afu carried the night incense all the way to the edge of the cliff, just in time to see the green mountains covered with snow in the distance, and a few green onions shrouded in smoke clouds, thinking of the two quatrains under the inscription of the former Xian Du people passing by Baiyun Mountain:
In the distance, the stone path of the cold mountain is sloping, and there are people in the depths of the white clouds.
It's not the right season, but I'm happy.
Thinking that Lao Liu Tou was still waiting for him, Ah Fu moved faster than usual, and walked back after quickly getting everything done.
Walking quickly to the academy, Ah Fu saw the old Liu Tou standing at the door looking at the door from a distance, and Liu Liuniu with a padded jacket.
In addition, a fat man dressed in brocade also stood next to his grandfather and grandson, who was the slave who was looking for orphans at Lao Liu's stall yesterday, but he looked quite impatient.
A luxurious-looking carriage pulled aside, and the horses were swinging their hooves and tails, and seemed impatient.
When Ah Fu Xing was close, Lao Liu Tou walked over with the small food box.
Du Afu put down the burden on his shoulders, looked at Lao Liu Tou with a smile and asked:
"What's wrong, Master Liu?
Old Liu nodded solemnly, took out a bunch of keys from his arms and handed them to Du Afu.
"Liu Ye is really different now!
Ah Fu said this, but he didn't take the set of keys.
Old Liu Tou saw it and said:
"What do you think, you kid! Liu Liuniu and I will only go for a month this time, and we will come back in a month at most. ”
When Ah Fu heard this, he frowned:
"What's going on?"
In Afu's heart, I hope that Grandpa Liu and his grandson will never return to this poor country and can live forever in the capital.
"That's right! Master, please explain it to this little boy. ”
The fat man came over and saluted to Ah Fu in a rare way:
"Yesterday, I used the spirit sword to inform Xianggong, and Xianggong learned about the young master's study in Hanling Academy. ”
As soon as he heard the spirit sword transmission, he moved his eyebrows, this is a means that only the immortal family has, but he didn't expect that the fat man in front of him, who looked full of red dust, was still an immortal cultivator?
The fat man seemed to notice the strangeness of Ah Fu, but he didn't care, and after a smile, he continued:
"After the prince found out, he ordered the villain to accompany the young master to continue to stay in the academy to study, after all, now all the people in the world, even the rich children in the capital dream of entering the Hanling Academy to study, so ......"
"So this time I and Liu Liuniu only went to the capital to let this kid go and come back after meeting his father, after all, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and in a few days, we will come back again!"
Old Liu Tou didn't wait for the fat man to finish speaking, and put the set of keys in the palm of Du Afu's hand.
"During this period, please help us take care of the courtyard, rest assured, the food in it was enough yesterday, enough for you to eat for a month!"
After listening to what happened, Ah Fu put the key in his arms, and said to Lao Liu Tou with a smile:
"Haha, Liu Ye turned out to be like this! Then I wish you all a smooth journey! Let's go, let's go!"
Afu said, waving his hand at the three of them.
"Brother Afu! You can go with us! Go to the capital and have a look! I heard Uncle Afu say that the capital is fun!"
Liu Liuniu, who was dressed as a little scholar, leaned over and hugged Afu's hand and begged.
"Uncle Fu?"
Ah Fu looked at the fat man with some surprise.
The fat man smiled and explained to Ah Fu:
"It seems that the villain happens to have the same name as the little boy, the contemptible surname is Hu, the name is Jiufu, and the name of the milk is also called Ah Fu, haha. ”
Milk name.......
Ah Fu was a little speechless at the person in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, the person in front of him was quite like the profiteer who bought loose things, and he didn't want to cultivate immortals at all!
Afu pulled Liu Liuniu uneasily, and whispered to him:
"Beware of this man on your way, beware of him harming you!"
"Why did the little boy say this! I, Hu Jiufu, was born frank and open-minded, and never did anything like stealing chickens and touching dogs, and when I was a child, I was called by my neighbors as an ancient heart, and I was a good person who is rarely seen in 10,000 years! I took 10,000 steps back and said, I want to harm the old man and the young master, why? To say something unpleasant, even if I want to harm the old man and the young master, what am I trying to do?"
Du Ah Fu didn't expect this fat man's ear power to be so good, after all, he was talking bad behind people's backs and being heard, and Du Ah Fu was a little embarrassed.
When the fat man saw that Ah Fu was stunned like this, he put away the conversation and relieved him and said:
"But what the little boy said is also right, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and it is natural to be careful of outsiders. ”
Du Afu frowned, always feeling that the fat man in front of him was by no means as harmless as he looked, but he didn't know what was wrong.
"Okay, you kid take care of yourself, I usually met Chen Qiusheng and Fang Qiuyi, and the two of them walked around a little, don't be beaten like that again!"
Lao Liu Tou patted Ah Fu's shoulder, touched Liu Liuniu's head again, and said:
"Say goodbye to Brother Afu!"
Liu Liuniu already had some tears in his eyes at this time, but he couldn't help crying, he bent down and saluted to the stunned Ah Fu:
"Goodbye!
Du Afu touched Liu Liuniu's head with a smile, and then waved his hand at the three of them, barely smiling:
"Go, go, don't forget to bring me something delicious when you come back from the capital!"
Liu Liuniu said, got into the carriage with Lao Liu, Hu Jiufu smiled at Afu and saluted:
"Little boy, don't leave it at that. ”
Du Afu had a bad impression of the fat man in front of him, but he also endured the discomfort and returned the salute.
Watching the fat man get into the carriage, he raised a long whip and struck the horse, and shouted high:
"Drive!"
Watching the carriage disappear into the long street, Ah Fu retracted his gaze, picked up his burden, and walked towards the back door of the academy.
Yesterday, the endorser took the small road, and today the two grandpas Liu and the others took the official road.
The trail is convenient, the road is wide, and each has its own good.
He closed the door in the backyard, put the barrel in the hut, and then went to the bamboo diversion valve in the yard to wash his hands.
At this time, the sun was already hanging high in the sky, and the fog on the mountain was thickened, and the residual snow was waiting to be dissipated, and there were a few flowers and birds.
The sound of Lang Lang's book came from next door, and Ah Fu walked cautiously over there.
In an extremely spacious house, with all the windows and doors open in this cold weather, a middle-aged man in a gray robe stood in the lecture hall, holding a book of poetry, and taught the many students in the audience to read:
When you open the door in the morning, the snow is full of snow, and the snow is clear and the sun is cold.
The eaves flow is not dripping plum jelly, a kind of solitary is not idle.
Du Ah Fu quietly poked his head out, looked in through the open window, and Lu Xingyu, who happened to be sitting by the window and dozing off, saw Du Ah Fu, smiled helplessly, and deviated a few inches.
Ah Fu smiled innocently at Lu Xingyu, and then saw the girl sitting behind Lu Xingyu wearing a big red cotton jacket and looking as delicate as a porcelain doll.
The girl reads very seriously, her eyes are always focused on the book, or sometimes she raises her head to look at He Hanling in the lecture hall, the faint willow eyebrows are sometimes frowning, and the almost perfect side face moves with the poems in the book from time to time, and the light and shadow hit the girl's face very softly.
When she reads it, the girl will also bend her thin red lips and turn the pages of the book with her green jade hands.
An almost Lanze-like temperament emanated from the girl's body, intoxicating the stupid Ah Fu who was peeping outside.
"Ahem, okay, what do you think after reading this?"
He Hanling, who was standing in the lecture hall, coughed lightly, and Ah Fu withdrew his gaze from the idiot, and reluctantly retreated from the outside of the room.
Walking back to his thatched hut from the school, Ah Fu sat on the haystack, released his clenched fists, and couldn't wait to find the ancient book with the simple material and the "Northern Martial Arts Classic" written on it from the thatched pile.
You have to work hard to cultivate! Don't think about anything else! Even if you cut off your martial arts, then open the eight acupoints first! After you open the eight acupoints, you can think about other things!
The young man in the thatched hut was bathed in the sun, and the whole person burst out with a momentum of not admitting defeat.
Ah Fu retracted his mind and slowly opened the book with a pious heart.
The first in the Northern Martial Arts Classic, Kaiyuan!
