Suzu's posture of studying ancient books does give an indescribable sense of reliability, and out of a habit of suspicion, I secretly exchanged opinions with Arimimaru: "Can she really understand?" Patchy looked at Kanban Niang eagerly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I don't know, but I think Suzu will always have a way." The villain's trust in the daughter of the bookstore rental seems to come inexplicably.

But seeing our temporary hopes, sometimes frowning and sometimes soothing expressions, we did not hurry to go down the pages of the thread-bound ancient book, the book was not thin but not as thick as a brick, the number of pages was around three hundred, and Xiao Suzu kept a fairly uniform speed when he flipped through the first half, and after more than half of it, he began to look at ten lines at a glance, and finally it took just over an hour to finish reading the whole book, during which except for the occasional exchange of a sentence or two between me and Arimimaru, the bookstore was as quiet as a secret room.

"How?" Seeing the Kanban Niang close the pages of the book, take off her glasses, and rub the acupuncture points between her eyes, the witch who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, if I didn't understand it, I would have thrown it away." She said it as a matter of course.

"That's understood? What is the book about? "After a long wait of an hour, my curiosity was no less than that of Patchy and Akinimaru.

"Uh-huh......" she propped up her chin with one hand in the other, like an old pedant, "I don't think you'll be too interested." ”

"We don't know what this book is about! Talking about what feels is not interested. ”

"Aha, yes," she said, pointing to the cover of the book, "this is actually a book on the study of natural medicinal materials, and on the cover is written the Compendium of Materia Medica." ”

"Wait," Patchy snatched the conversation, "is it the same book with a different name than the Materia Medica?" ”

Just two more words, I think, looks like the same book, right? "I haven't studied herbalism, so I'm not really interested, but why would a book of herbology be described in such strange words?"

"No, no, it's not the same book, the Materia Medica Sutra was written by the Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago, and this one was written by a demon, and the text is indeed rare," Xiaoling explained, "If it weren't, ah, no, if it weren't for the knowledge that popped out of my head, I wouldn't be able to decipher these ancient and unused words." ”

Popping out of your head? I found out that Xiao Ling was suspicious again, and the knowledge was summed up, but it wasn't something that could be fooled out of it.

"Is it a demon book or something?" Patchy asked.

"The words used by all kinds of monsters should not be much better than the words used by various human tribes, there are too few users, and words cannot be developed." I say.

"There is always something unique and full of wisdom in any language," Xiao Suzu argued to the various dead languages, "In short, this book translated as the Materia Medica, must have been written by some very knowledgeable monster who summarized the knowledge of herbal medicine learned from China." ”

"Oh, there's not much magic to look into, is there?"

"You can't say that, Miss Alice," said Suzuki, "even ordinary herbs, it would take many generations of people to put in untold lives and wisdom to distinguish their properties. ”

"I'll agree with you, but you mean that this ancient book doesn't introduce ordinary herbs?"

"Uh...... Ha, haha, it's not all, it's not all ordinary herbs. ”

This Kanban girl who doesn't look right is getting more and more suspicious, but what does a herbal book written in monster characters have to do with Xiao Ling?

Patsy's interest was aroused, she seemed to have some interest in Chinese herbal medicine, at least she knew that there was a "Materia Medica" in the world that I had not heard of, "What does an ordinary herb mean?" ”

"Uh, yes, yes......" Her eyes were blinded by the eager inquisitive gazes of witches, kings, and shrinemaidens, and I didn't quite understand why she seemed to want to avoid being questioned about what was relevant to the book.

"It's fairy grass, fairy medicine, or something like that," she finally said, "Of course youkai's books will write something extraordinary." ”

"Hmm. Reasonable. "I think that's worth the use of weird words.

"Wow! Fairy grass! "Arimyomaru was very interested.

"Eat the fairy grass that cures all diseases?" Patchy's focus is accurate.

The villain said again: "Or is it an elixir that can live forever?" ”

"Wow, no, don't lean over, I, I don't know, just a few cursory glances." The bell leans back almost against the back of the chair.

"But I think you actually know very well!" I say.

"I really don't understand, unless I ......"

"Unless I lend you books for research?" I helped her finish her sentence.

"That's right!"

"You'll have to ask the librarian if he's willing, even though it's something that was picked up, and it's also picked up by their maid." I looked at Patsy.

"Oops! Yes, Miss Patchouli, please lend me the Materia Medica for study, and it won't be long before you can make a copy and return it to you. Xiao Ling's eyes turned and she immediately made a sincere request

"Why do I think you're even more interested in this book than we are, have you fallen in love with the elixir of immortality that cures all diseases? Those things aren't that easy to get hold of, even if they exist, right? Why don't you go to the Forever Pavilion and see if it's for sale? ”

My complaints were ignored by them.

"Of course I can lend it to you, but I can't read it anyway," said Patchy, "but I'd like to ask Miss Suzu to teach me how to read the words." ”

"Deal!"

"Don't be busy making deals, there are still curious listeners who don't know the truth," I said, "What are the immortal herbs and fairy herbs in the book, Xiao Ling will talk about a few things first." ”

"Hehe, in fact, most of them are not very rare, at least not in the world. Hug Puzi said: The medicine makes the body live in peace, ascends to the gods, travels up and down, makes all souls, grows feathers in the body, and stands in the kitchen. It is also said that Wuzhi and Bait Dansha, Yuzha, Zeng Qing, Male Yellow, Orpiment, Mica, and Taiyi Yu surplus grains can be taken alone, all of which make people fly and live forever. He also said that Chinese medicine nourishes nature, and medicine is used to eliminate diseases......"

"Wait, wait, don't say, do you want to say that the immortal herbs introduced in the book are similar to those written in older ancient books? Just now, I thought that the title of the book in the Materia Medica would sound closer to the book of Chinese herbal medicine, but what was written in it was all about ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal? If you want to know this kind of knowledge, you might as well consult Miss Miko's family or the fairy who doesn't seem to be very reliable. ”

"Since it's unreliable, why do you ask people what they......" Acuchimaru complained.

"At least on the bright side of the entire Gensokyo, Miss Qing'e is the one who has the most right to speak."

"Not necessarily!" Xiao Ling spoke confidently, "The book was recorded by a certain monster in rare words, I think only I can read these words, even if I don't understand alchemy and alchemy, I will learn according to the explanation in the book." ”

"And alchemy?"

"Hmm!" She covered her mouth again, and then rolled her eyes a few times slyly, as if she was wary of being kidnapped by us, "In fact, most of them are false words, and you can't believe them, and it's hard to grasp alchemy or something just by looking at words." ”

"Don't worry, I won't eat you."

"yes, that's great!"
