Chapter 54: The Problem
"Immortal?"
Liang Lan touched her nose, a little noncommittal, and then smiled: "I heard an interesting story when I was a child. There is a very long-lived old man in the village www.biquge.info pen "fun", and a master once told him that people can live a long life if they don't eat meat, so this old man insisted on eating vegetarian every day, and finally lived for more than 100 years. ”
Mu Yunzhi opened his eyes, a little puzzled why he suddenly said this.
Liang Lan continued: "Although the old man has a long life, but after all, he is still an ordinary person, one day he felt that his limit was approaching, and his children gathered in front of the bed to ask him what he wanted, the old man said that I have lived for most of my life, and I have never eaten meat, anyway, now I am going to die, you can feed me a mouthful of meat." Then the old man ate the meat, and suddenly he was crying. ”
Liang Lan said that he was deliberately stunned, and Mu Yunzhi asked, "Why are you crying?" ”
Liang Lan smiled and said: "His family also hurriedly asked, is it that the old man is not used to eating this meat, the old man shook his head after crying, and said, 'I knew that meat was so delicious, I would rather live a few decades less, but also eat meat every day.'" ”
Mu Yunzhi immediately understood Liang Lan's intention to tell the joke, and he also smiled lightly: "Of course, the story of Senior Brother Shanbo is interesting, and I also think it makes sense. However, Shanbo thinks that the love between men and women is the meat in this story, but I am the opposite, the free immortality is actually the meat, if you have the opportunity to eat a bite, what does it matter if you don't touch lust in this life? ”
Liang Lan shrugged: "No matter how Senior Sister understands it, I just think this story is very interesting." ”
"This story is indeed interesting, Senior Brother Shanbo must also be thirsty, recently the Maojian tea on the spring on the mountain has just been fried, you bring some Que'er, I will make some for your Uncle Shanbo."
The little girl obediently ran to the backyard and winked mischievously before leaving.
At this time, a little Taoist priest under the mountain had something to tell outside the door, Mu Yunzhi made tea, put it on the table, got up and went out.
Liang Lan was bored, picked up the tea bowl and watched carefully, the peach blossoms looked at the feng shui treasure, and the hair tips produced here were also different from other places. I saw that the leaves were even, soft and fresh green, smooth and round, smooth, the tea leaves opened up after boiling with hot water, and slowly sank to the bottom of the cup, and the aroma was far and long.
Liang Lan tasted a few sips, only to feel that the aroma was elegant and fresh, the taste was fresh, and the mellow fragrance reverberated between the tongue.
……
"I know about this, you can go back first, let me think about it."
Mu Yunzhi's voice came from the courtyard, Liang Lan stood up quietly and looked out of the door, Mu Yunzhi was frowning and talking to the little Taoist, it seemed that the matter in her mouth was a little tricky.
"Thank you, Master, this time the offering in the temple is said to be transported to the capital, and I would like to dedicate it to those adults, which is really not trivial. Otherwise, Master, he wouldn't bother Master. Then I'll come back in two days to confirm the news and retire first. ”
The little Taoist priest saluted respectfully, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Seeing Mu Yunzhi and Qi'er get up and go back to the house, Liang Lan hurriedly returned to her seat first, pretending not to know anything, and asked, "Senior Sister Yunzhi, but what problems have you encountered?" ”
Mu Yunzhi's brows had already stretched, he regained his calm expression, and said, "You heard it just now?" ”
Liang Lan smiled bitterly in her heart, knowing that she couldn't hide it from this smart woman, she nodded and said, "I heard a little, but I didn't hear it clearly." ”
Mu Yunzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I won't hide it from you, the royal family of this dynasty respects Taoism and promotes Taoist halls in various places. In return, every year the dojo will issue an offering and hand it over to the imperial court. This year, Peach Blossom View has refined 7749 Tiankang Dan with longevity and longevity effects, which is quite valued by the state government. Who would have thought that at a critical juncture, there was an elixir ingredient that was misplaced by Dao Tong and refined into a waste pill. ”
Liang Lan said: "Wouldn't it be okay to just take out this waste pill?" ”
Mu Yunzhi shook his head slightly and sighed: "Although the ingredients of the waste pill this time are wrong, they were formed by chance, and the appearance looks no different from the normal pill, only there is an extremely slight difference in weight." ”
"Now that this waste pill has been formed, it looks no different from a normal pill, why don't you just treat it as a normal pill and send it directly?" Liang Lan said: "Anyway, this longevity effect has no effect at all for a while. ”
Mu Yunzhi shook his head: "They also thought about this, it won't work at all." Although the waste pill is formed, in the end, the ingredients are wrong, and if it is taken by mistake, it may even be poisonous. ”
It seems that these Taoist priests are not as rigid as imagined, Liang Lan thought that they were unwilling to be 'unscrupulous profiteers' who lacked catties and taels, it turned out that they were not unwilling, but they couldn't, if it was a dignitary who mistakenly ingested this poison pill, then not only would the Peach Blossom Temple face a disaster, but maybe it would also implicate the entire Taoist Taoist system.
Liang Lan suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she asked Mu Yunzhi, "You just said that there is a slight weight difference in the pill, right?" ”
"Yes," Mu Yunzhi nodded.
After that, he said with some distress: "Because the formula of the pill is slightly different, this pill will be a little lighter than the normal pill." But the weight of the pill is already very small, and the difference is even more subtle. If you want to take out the scales and weigh them one by one, this method will not work at all. ”
"Hahaha."
Liang Lan suddenly laughed, and the laughter made Mu Yunzhi and Que Er a little confused.
Que'er asked with some doubts: "Master, has Uncle Shan gone mad?" ”
Liang Lan's face froze when she heard this, and she turned around and said, "Little girl, you just went crazy." ”
Finch grimaced: "Then why are you laughing all of a sudden?" ”
Liang Lan stood up, looked at Mu Yunzhi and said, "I'm thinking that God will help me, in a few days, the people from the government will come up to collect the pills, seven seven hundred and forty-nine pills is not a small number, and it will not be possible to refine a batch again in a few days." Senior sister and everyone in Peach Blossom View have no choice? ”
Mu Yunzhi pondered for a moment: "Unless you open the pill and check the color of the center of the pill, but in this case, most of the medicinal power contained in the pill will also be lost." Don't do it unless you have to. ”
Liang Lan waved his hand.
"I have a way to help you find this waste pill without dissecting the pill."
"What's the solution?" Que'er asked with some disbelief, "Aren't you really bragging this time?" ”
Liang Lan walked over and said viciously: "Little girl, I am your uncle, please pay attention to your words, not only did I not brag this time, but I have never bragged." ”
Turning his head, he saw that Mu Yunzhi's eyes were also a little suspicious, and his face almost said, "Really?" "Three words.
Liang Lan suddenly stroked her forehead, and sighed in her heart: "Others cross with the halo of the protagonist, and passers-by look very awesome, why do I cross with an aura of mental retardation, and others think I am a weak chicken?" ”
Fortunately, Liang Lan did have a solution to the problem they encountered this time, and said with a sly smile: "As for the method, of course I have it, but there is a condition." ”
