Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Moon Lookout

In addition to the ink doctors, there are also Gong Qiao who like carpentry work, and there are only old and young women and children left, who are worried about going around, in addition to talking about some medical science and pharmacology with the doctors, they can only find Gong Qiao to talk and relieve boredom.

A few days ago, I followed a few doctors up the mountain to collect medicines, but I didn't pay attention to other herbs, and came back with three aconitum, and took a stem called wild kudzu.

She went to the medicine hall to borrow some tools such as medicine pestles, and when she went to talk to Gong Qiao every day, Gong Qiao dug the wood in her hand, and she lay down on the low table to deal with these medicinal materials.

Because of the relationship between the two dramas, it was only a matter of one day that the two became acquainted with each other.

When he first saw him that day, he sharply pointed out that although the wooden birds made by Gong Qiao were lifelike, they were just some playthings and had no practical value.

Now that they have been together for a long time, Xie Xie really understands that the reason why Gong Qiao devoted himself to carpentry was to admire the legendary Yanshi who could create lifelike wooden armor like a living thing.

The legend of Yanshi is also known, and this statement is recorded in "Liezi Tangwen".

It is said that King Mu of Zhou went to the west to make an inspection, crossed Kunlun, climbed the Yi Mountain, and on the way back, met a craftsman named Yanshi.

Yanshi presents a singing and dancing artist, saying that he is a puppet who makes his own zuò, walking slowly, pitching freely, just like a real person, it can even sing and dance, its movements are ever-changing, and it can do whatever you want.

King Mu felt very novel, and called his favorite Sheng Ji and the concubines to watch its performance together, and when the performance was about to end, the song and dance artist blinked his eyes to tease the concubines around King Mu. King Mu was furious, believing that Yanshi had hired a real person to pretend to be a puppet and ordered him to be killed.

Under the puppet's clothes, the limbs are all made of leather, wood, resin, lacquer, chalk, black charcoal, dansha, green goose and other pigments, inside there are liver and gallbladder, heart and lungs, spleen and kidney, intestines and stomach, and outside there are muscles, bones, limbs, fur, teeth and hair, all of them.

After dismantling and putting it back together, the singing and dancing artists were restored to their original state, and they were able to walk and speak, so King Mu believed that what Yanshi said was true and pardoned him.

Later, people called craftsmen who could make puppets that looked like living people as Yanshi.

King Mu of Zhou, Kunlun Mountain, similar to the so-called "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", from the very beginning, Xie Wei can conclude that this story is fictional.

And this story, even if it looks like it looks like thousands of years later, it still feels too mysterious.

A puppet man can be the same as a person, and even to seduce beauties, even if it is impossible to achieve even the most ingenious machine, just ask how to make a wooden man move without external force in the ancient period when there was no electric drive, you can conclude that this matter is nothing.

Of course, Gong Qiao told her that the Wood Armor Technique could be driven by magnetic force.

Gong Qiao also swore to her that he must become the master who is as powerful as the craftsman recorded in "Liezi".

If Gong Qiao was born in that place that was four years away from her in time and more than two thousand years away from him, Xie Wei felt that with his perseverance and determination, he might really be able to create a lifelike machine.

But at this point, it's impossible.

Moreover, the puppet is made of wood and stone, and it will not have human feelings as recorded in "Liezi" in any case.

Entangled in this, indulged in this, will only waste a lifetime of energy in vain, and nothing will be achieved.

However, Xie Wei did not say anything more to persuade her, she felt as if she saw her own shadow in Gong Qiao's body.

Such a stubborn girl, she still stubbornly wants to be among them even though she knows that this history book does not leave her a place, which is strikingly similar to Gong Qiao's knowing that the puppet is unrealizable but still bent on it.

As she said before the wooden kite, "Mozi is a wooden kite, three years of success, one day of failure, even so, there are no regrets." ”

Some people only need to complete one thing in their lives, and they have no regrets.

What if it's not done? - This question needs to be answered after she and Gong Qiao have been 100 years old.

"Gong Qiao, when you first enter the Fox Terrace, why is it rated as 'Nine Days'?" After all, I can't bear this confusion.

"Although she is a young girl, what she thinks and says is comparable to that of her husband, isn't it 'like a crane singing, and it is heard above the nine heavens'?" When Gong Qiao said this, he was still seriously sharpening the wooden block in his hand, and he didn't even raise his head.

Relieve your worries, although Gong Qiao didn't see this smile that he called "Cangruo Mountain Flower".

At dusk, the doctor Shen came to pick up the worries and returned to the mountain.

The residence of the ink doctor is named after "Tongjun", this time the residence is located on the mountainside of Zhurong Peak, the main peak of Hengshan, made of wood and stone, half of the spring, half of the volley, quiet to the extreme, rare traces, the title is "Tongjun Pavilion".

When the two returned to the mountain, it was already dusk, and they had eaten in a hurry, and the doctor invited Xie Xie to go up the mountain to admire the moon.

After a few days, although the leaves on the vine are a little dry, they still maintain their green color, the leaves look like vanilla basil, but the buds on the vine are like honeysuckle, and the whole vine looks like yellow essence.

None of the doctors present at the time knew about it, and only some said that it was called wild kudzu in the local area.

Of course, Xie Wei knew that this was not wild kudzu, but an extremely powerful poisonous weed-hook kiss.

It is said that the entrance of the hook kiss hooks the throat, so it is called. It is also said that the kiss is an elegiac word, and it is pulled away from the intestines, so it is also called the broken intestine grass.

Shennong tastes the taste of a hundred herbs, the sweetness and bitterness of the water spring, encounters seventy poisons in one day, it is said that the final death is from the broken intestine grass, its toxicity can be imagined, so Tao Hongjing to "birds must not be gathered" to evaluate its toxicity, although there is an exaggeration, but there is a certain factual basis.

"Ah, this is it." Yi Shen stopped.

They are already close to the top of the mountain, at this time on the mountain peak there is no Zhurong Hall built up by later generations, there is no breathtaking cliff carving, some are just this towering rock in front of them, flying in the air on the top of the mountain, later generations called "Moon Viewing Platform", now I don't know what to call it.

Some people commented, "Hengshan is like walking, Daishan is like sitting, Huashan is like standing, Songshan is like lying, only Nanyue is like flying", Hengshan is indeed worthy of the praise of "flying".

Solve the worries and follow the doctor to sink close to the huge rock, tonight the waning moon, can not see the kind of bright moon in the sky, clear light scattered bright scenery, and the waning moon sunk to the west very early, standing on the stormy moon platform, can see only the slightly cold afterglow emitted by the waning moon.

Xie Wei retracted his gaze and jumped lightly from the rocks, no longer looking at the magnificent scenery of the mountains at his feet.

Such a day is not suitable for moon viewing, and Yi Shen invited her to come, I am afraid that there is something else to say.
