Chapter 388: Heart-to-heart between master and apprentice

Su Qing fished it out casually and was pleasantly surprised to find that the flesh of Mu Lianzi and the kernel had all been dissolved, leaving only a layer of Mu Lian skin wrapped around the pulp that had turned into liquid.

At the same time, she unexpectedly found that the peel of the wood Lianzi that had been soaked in the sulfofen liquid had become a little stronger. Su Qing pierced the peel with a thin silver needle, and a stream of astringent juice flowed out.

Su Qing first pinched the small skin-like wooden Lianzi skin hard, scalded it in boiling water, and then threw it into the vessel containing the Lingtan water.

As Mu Lianzi's skin stretched out, the Lingtan entered it with the pinholes on it.

Su Qing took out the wooden Lianzi skin that had drunk the water of the Lingtan and dripped a drop of oil wax on the pinhole. This oil wax is also obtained from a kind of oil wax tree that is ubiquitous in this world.

After it was true that penicillin could be preserved in Mu Lianzi, Su Qing began to worry about how to inject it into the blood vessels.

For several days, Su Qing closed the door, and one day, she suddenly felt a little hungry in her stomach, so she came to the kitchen to get some food.

The smoke that was practicing the sword came to smell the fragrance: "Master, aren't you busy today?" And Yaxing out of the customs to cook delicious? Smoke sniffed, sat down in front of the stove, and laughed.

"Pull out a little bit of the firewood from the stove, you don't have to be so hot! Have you been improving your swordsmanship lately? Su Qing glanced at the smoke that blindly added firewood to the stove and said.

Yan'er casually took out two sticks of firewood and responded: "Well, the swordsmanship is becoming more and more proficient, but it can't form a sword formation yet!" ”

Su Qing took out the soup and put it down, looked at him and asked, "Are you going to cultivate the Spirit Sword Formation?" ”

"I just wanted to try to practice. However, at present, I can only use two spirit swords, and the swords cannot be separated from my hand. Master, is there no reason why you have not entered the Tao? Yan'er asked with some frustration.

Su Qing was stunned by his question, and then turned to ask: "Yan'er, how many levels have you cultivated to the Yin and Yang Harmony Exercise that the teacher gave you at the beginning?" ”

"I've been obsessed with swordsmanship together lately, so I haven't practiced it during this time. Or stop at the initial base stage! Yan'er didn't expect Su Qing to suddenly ask about this. Blurted it out directly.

Su Qing looked at him fixedly, and asked solemnly, "Chuji?" I remember that you made a breakthrough a few years ago, so haven't you been practicing the Fa all these years? As a result, the power jumps to the beginning? ”

Looked at. Yan'er lowered her head and said, "Yes." Yes. Since Uncle Xu taught me swordsmanship, I have been concentrating on swordsmanship day and night. Soβ€”"

"So, you just left behind the natal exercises that might help you enter the Dao, didn't you?" Su Qing asked indifferently.

After finishing speaking, Yan'er knelt on the ground with an 'ordinary' voice, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Looking at the smoke kneeling in front of him, Su Qing said softly: "Get up, accompany the master to eat!" I haven't eaten for days, and my stomach is very empty. ”

After saying that, he helped him up with his own hands, and the two of them sat down opposite the small table that had been placed on the side of the kitchen.

Seeing that Yan'er kept her head down and looked a little at a loss, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Yan'er, I don't mean to blame you for being a teacher, although you are my disciple in name, it is up to you to decide how to go on the path of cultivation in the future." ”

As he spoke, he added a bowl of broth: "You are extremely talented in the spirit sword, and you are willing to work as a teacher, so you are naturally very happy, but what you seek from Xiuzhen is the way of immortality!" ”

"In this world, if you want to live forever, you must absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth into your body, so the cultivation and advancement is the foundation of a monk's practice. Although you can now use the spirit sword without spiritual power, your ability is extraordinary compared to ordinary people. Saying this, Su Qing sighed.

Seeing that Yan'er still didn't agree with Yan'er's face with shame, she shook her head and said, "Yan'er, think about it, if you don't enter the Dao, you don't have a long life-oriented, and you don't have a spiritual power base, even if you have excellent talent, how far can you go if you don't enter the Dao Gate?" ”

"Master, I've put the cart before the horse! You taught me right, I shouldn't have thought that I would soon be able to cultivate peerless sword cultivation because of Uncle Xu's grand title, so that I was immersed in swordsmanship and swordsmanship day and night! Thus ignoring the most important exercises for me! I have failed Master, and you have shown kindness to me! As she spoke, Yan'er was about to get up and bow down.

Su Qing raised his hand to stop: "It's good that you understand the intention of being a teacher, after Yao Xiaogu's escape, I thought that I couldn't interfere too much with your cultivation, and over the years, I have also neglected to teach for the teacher." ”

"No, Master, your kindness to me is high enough, it's because Yan'er is too self-righteous and eager for success and profit." Yan'er hurriedly intercepted Su Qing's words.

After being honest with the master and apprentice, Yan'er also felt a big burden in his heart, and for the past two years, he has been blaming himself for stopping the practice without permission. At the same time, I don't want to take up the time to practice swordsmanship, so I have been very entangled.

What Su Qing didn't know was this method of combining yin and yang, the higher the level, the longer it would take. After getting started, it is necessary to spend at least three or four hours a day practicing the exercises.

At that time, it happened that Su Qing brought Xu Jie to guide Yan'er's swordsmanship, so he quietly shortened the time for practicing the exercises, and as a result, the exercises did not rise but fell after two months.

In desperation, Yan'er had to suspend his exercises and concentrate on swordsmanship.

After listening to his explanation, Su Qing simply took out a pot of spiritual wine and said, "It's rare for our master and apprentice to talk together, and today we are eating and drinking while talking about the Tao." ”

Yan'er got up and poured the cup in front of the two of them full of spirit wine, and suddenly felt that he and Su Qing were not like masters and apprentices, but more like deacons. Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that Yao Xiaogu and Uncle Qiao had never gotten along so frankly with each other.

As a result, Yan'er couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.

After three rounds of drinking, the two spoke more casually, Yan'er poured a glass of spiritual wine for Su Qing and asked, "Master, have you encountered anything difficult recently?" ”

Su Qing sighed and said, "Indeed, the worldly medicine that has been developed for the teacher now needs to be directly injected into the blood to be effective, but-"

"Master, how can worldly people find their bloodlines before they open their meridians? Why can't you drink it straight? Yan'er asked curiously.

A word to wake up the dreamer! Only then did Su Qing remember that the doctors in this world did not understand the art of injection at all. The structure of the human body is also limited to looking, smelling, asking, cutting, how to teach them to find vascular injections?

Thinking of this, Su Qing couldn't help but feel frustrated in his heart, only to hear Yan'er say again: "Why don't the master make it into a hot ointment and enter the body with the skinβ€”β€”"

Hearing this, Su Qing's eyes lit up, yes. If these penicillins can penetrate into the capillaries of the human body. Although it is not as effective as injecting directly into the artery, it is faster than oral injection.

"Yan'er, you eat slowly, and think of a way for the teacher. Let's try it out! Su Qing hurriedly said to the Yan'er Ward. Get up and rush to the Danfang.

After a few days of fiddling with it. Su Qing finally succeeded in making a special ointment that could allow penicillin to enter the tiny blood vessels in the body directly along the pores.

This is based on the bark of the wax tree. This is the most common raw ginseng as the main ingredient, and when it is used, only penicillin contained in the wood liner bark is poured on it.

When using, heat the original ginseng paste first, and then puncture the wood Lianzi skin and cover it on the hair skin. After it was made, Su Qing also used himself as a guide to do several tests.

As a result, he accidentally put penicillin into his blood, and took Yuxue Dan for a few days before he excreted it from his body.

After getting ready, Su Qing sent a message spirit talisman to Lingcao Peak, and immediately set off for Luoyang City.

When passing through the country of Lu, it was found that its fanfare conscription and ration were carried out, and the whole country was full of smoke and dust. Su Qing couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart: it was not to know which country Lu was going to fight against.

Thinking of the Qi State that was close to him, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh: It seems that Han Jin has enough headaches now, he was originally thinking about revitalizing the country and rejuvenating the country, but now he is in troubled times.

When he came to the palace of King Qi again, Su Qing couldn't believe the one in front of him, he bowed to himself, shouted immortals, and now he is Han Jin, the high-spirited King of Qi back then!

No wonder the people of the world are bent on entering the Tao, in order to embark on the road of immortality, decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Qing, who is a person who cultivates immortals, still looks the same, and the jade boy who carved jade pecks when he first saw him has now become an old man!

Su Qing counted on his fingers, he is now over seventy years old, and the generation of kings in his eyes is also in his sixties, plus he has been working hard for the monarch, how can he not show his old age?

"Why are you so polite, we are old acquaintances, and I just got into the Tao by luck, so I don't need to make such a big gift, get up and talk quickly!" As soon as Su Qing picked up Han Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, he saw Guo Yu, who was dressed in plain clothes, rushing from behind the hall, and as soon as they met, he bowed to the ground very reverently.

Su Qing came to him with an arrow step, picked up his hands and said angrily: "What's the matter with your husband and wife, I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and my cultivation hasn't risen yet, but your courtesy has increased greatly, if it goes on like this, I can't afford it!" ”

Han Jin looked back very gently, Guo Yu, who was still a little undecided, had a hint of gratitude between his eyebrows, and then asked respectfully, "I don't know if the chief came here today, but what instructions do you have?" ”

Su Qing found a place to sit down, and then beckoned King Qi and his wife to sit down nearby: "We are old friends, we should talk casually, don't be so restrained." After speaking, he glanced meaningfully at the attendants in the hall.

Han Jin naturally understood: "Venerable Dao Elder ordered, okay, why don't we go to the jade study in the apse to talk?" Yu'er, come with me! ”

Han Jin deliberately stopped Guo Yu, who wanted to avoid, and then took his hand and respectfully invited Su Qing to go to the apse.

After the three of them sat down, Su Qing asked straight to the point: "Is there a war in Qi now?" ”

Han Jin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Su Qing to ask this as soon as he opened his mouth, he shook his clothes and replied solemnly: "Not yet, but-"

Su Qing nodded and interrupted his words and said, "On the way to Luoyang, I see that the Lu State is now preparing for war, but I don't know if it is a bad relationship with the Qi State?" ”

Han Jin sighed and said: "Over the years, I have been committed to implementing the new decree, and I have endured the provocation of the Lu State as much as I can, trying not to conflict with it, and exchanging three border towns for a little peace in more than ten years. As a result, there is still a temporary peace between the two countries. ”

What he didn't say was that since ten years ago, Qi State has to send tens of thousands of stone of grain to Lu State at a very low price every year, but he can only import some from Lu State, which is everywhere, but sells them very valuable oil hemp.

But although the Qi State is big, its national strength is not as good as that of the Lu State that has worked hard for three generations, and the most important thing is that Han Jin is bent on carrying out the change first.

After more than ten years of hard work, although there has been some progress in changing the law, the road to reform is still very long. Now, at the height of the war between various countries, although he tried his best to maintain neutrality, it was inevitable that he would be involved in disputes.

And those nobles who had been vigorously opposing the new law were now even more agitated to prepare for war against the enemy, so that the new law could not be stopped. Under the internal and external troubles, Han Jin worked hard to keep the temporary peace of the Qi Kingdom.

Su Qing saw that Qi had not participated in the war of other countries for the time being, so he asked about the change of the law: "How is the implementation of the new law now?" Is there a surplus in the treasury? ”

Seeing that Su Qing took the initiative to ask, Han Jin first described the process of changing the law to her very auspiciously, and the language was full of difficulties and twists and turns, but when it came to achievements, a light of pride appeared on the old man's face: "If you return to the Dao Chief, although my Daqi is not as rich as the ancestors when they were prosperous, they are also Qingtai." ”

Hearing this, Su Qing was also very pleased: "Okay, it seems that you have really bothered over the years, and it is rare to have such an achievement!" ”

When Han Jin heard this, he was not happy but worried: "Dao Chief, if the new law continues to be implemented, my Great Qi Kingdom can also regain its former strength, but over the years, with the continuous disputes between the countries. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "Especially since he left the country to join the war the year before last, the voices of those opposition forces in the country have been higher, and the new law can hardly be carried out. ”

"The road of change is not so easy to walk, think about ****, every change has to go through several generations of emperors, and it will take decades to be effective! It's rare that you have achieved such results in just over a decade! Su Qing encouraged him.

After getting Su Qing's affirmation again, the gloom on Han Jin's face disappeared a little: "Thank you Dao Chang for your compliment, Han Jin is now in a dilemma, I don't know if I should prepare for war or-"

"Why is there a war between the nations? Wasn't it safe and sound? Su Qing couldn't help but ask suspiciously, she had never figured out how countries that had coexisted peacefully for nearly a hundred years could have a dispute? And, the more the war spreads?

As soon as he said this, Han Jin's heart was full of depression: "It's not that he was provoked by Tianxuanzi's demon way, the Han Yuan Kingdom, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is unwilling to coexist with other countries, and his ambitions are too big and he launched a war!" ……”

It is known from Han Import that since the death of the old emperor of Dayuan ten years ago, the new emperor Yuan Xiao has been domineering and arrogant, and he is bent on annexing the adjacent Jade Kingdom.

The queen of the Jade Kingdom was originally a princess who left the country, and after the original country found an excuse to start a war with the Jade Kingdom, she should be rescued by her queen, and she left the country and began the previous year, and officially raised troops to support the Jade Kingdom.
