Chapter Eighty-Six: Apprenticeship

"Good! Then apprentice! "Old man Tian Qi said that the wind is the rain," Du Zhong, open the hall, prepare the incense case!" ”

The young man who was white and innocent and had no smell of fireworks in the world was busy.

The decoction was cool, and as soon as Huang Xiaoqiang finished drinking it, Du Zhong ran over and said, "Master, the shrine has been opened, and the incense case is ready!" ”

So a group of people walked to the shrine, the shrine is the tallest building here, for the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor, Shennong, the medicine king Bodhisattva, the medicine Bodhisattva, the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, the medicine king Sun Simiao, as well as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Wei Cizang, Wei Shanjun, Wei Gudao, Pi Tong and so on. Huang Xiaoqiang felt that this belief was really a bit complicated, and everything related to medicine, whether it was Buddhism or Taoism, was worshipped.

Huang Xiaoqiang followed everyone, and made three knocks and nine bows to the sacredness of these traditional Chinese medicine, and the old man Tian Qi made a report to all the saints present, saying that he was going to accept a new apprentice again, and then Tian Qi sat on the chair, Huang Xiaoqiang bowed three times to Tian Qi, Nanshan Niu gave Huang Xiaoqiang a post and a red envelope, Huang Xiaoqiang dedicated it to the master, and the master gave Huang Xiaoqiang a book, and gave a book "Living Man Technique" with a yellow vertical row, and the apprenticeship ceremony was over. Huang Xiaoqiang, as a talented person from the Chinese department, naturally understood that the post was a teacher post, and the red envelopes were all courtesy.

After finishing Xuejian, he handed Huang Xiaoqiang a delicate medicine hoe, saying that he wanted Huang Xiaoqiang to go out and walk seven miles and dig a medicinal herb back, and this matter was completed.

Although Huang Xiaoqiang is a poor child, he is also a child who grew up in the city, and he doesn't know anything about herbal medicine, fortunately he still remembers a blind Chinese medicine - dandelion, this thing has been seen everywhere in the book and TV, and now even if he meets it in reality, he can recognize the fluffy ball, so he honestly paced out and walked 5000 steps, 0.7 meters in one step, 5000 steps is 3500 meters, a Huali is 500 meters, and seven miles is exactly 3500 meters. Huang Xiaoqiang stopped and found a dandelion, so he dug up one and went back.

"Master, I've dug up the medicine and come back!"

"Dandelion, good! Dandelion, the most cheap and has great merit, can cure serious diseases if used well! Old Man Tian Qi nodded and said, "Your name in our Medicine Farmer Valley is Dandelion!" This is the rule of the patriarch of the Medicine Farm Valley, all those who enter my Medicine Farm Valley must dig a grass, travel to seven miles, and call it whatever they dig, just like the monk who has a Dharma name except for the family! Look, my name is Tian Qi! That big apprentice is the slow cow called Nanxing, the second apprentice is called Skullcap, the third apprentice is called Chai Hu, the fourth apprentice is called burdock, the fifth apprentice is called He Shou Wu, the sixth apprentice is called Wang Lian, the seventh apprentice is called Du Zhong, the eighth apprentice is called Xuejian, you are now called Dandelion! ”

Only then did Huang Xiaoqiang understand that the names of these people came from this way, no wonder they were all drug names! Well, I, Huang Xiaoqiang, am a dandelion now! My surname is Huang, but fortunately I didn't call it Coptis chinensis, or cork or anything like that, otherwise I would have died! But Senior Brother Liu's name is Wang Lian, isn't Wang Lian Huanglian? Huang Xiaoqiang smiled in his heart. Now it's okay, Huang Xiaoqiang can be regarded as a person with a master's cover.

Dandelion, it's really good, the master said that it is cheap and has great merit, and it can cure serious diseases if used well! It's really in line with my own reality, it's like a prophecy, I was born in a poor family and must make great achievements! Huang Xiaoqiang's heart was happy.

"The Art of Living People is a primer to medical skills written by our ancestors, you must study it carefully when you go out, and ask your seventh and eighth senior brothers for advice if you don't understand!"

"So, Master, are you planning to let Senior Brother Seventh and Senior Sister Eighth go out to help me?"

"When you went out to dig that dandelion, we all discussed, and the rest of the senior brothers and sisters were all practicing medicine outside, but the remaining two who took care of my old man will also be taken away by you! Alas, I also have a hard time as a teacher, and when I met you, a little doll, I am also a wrongdoe! "The old man said pitiful!

"Master, I'm sorry for you!"

"It's okay, the master is not old, he can take care of himself, this is fate, we study medicine, and we also pay attention to fate, these two little dolls are grown up by the teacher from the baby, and they grew up in the medicine pile since childhood, and they can identify the taste of medicine when they smell it, and they are exactly the talents you need. What you have to do is also a good thing to help the world, I heard that the medicine outside is not very good now, I hope to make good medicine for you to go out, and it is also in line with our medical Tao! ”

Huang Xiaoqiang was very happy in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this serious illness could be exchanged for two worldly masters to help, which is really a great thing! Huang Xiaoqiang respectfully kowtowed to the master three more times, grateful!

"What's more, our medicine farmer valley has also been stored here for four hundred years, and over the years, we have also accumulated some methods and experience in fiddling with medicines, we have some things here, you can also take some out to raise, and the effect of the drugs will be better!"

"Master? This? "Eucommia's face is pale.

"I understand what you're trying to say! The rules are our rules, but there will always be a day when the rules are broken, and if they are broken now, they will be broken! Since you can make good medicine, it is also in line with the way of heaven to take it out and cure a few more people! No matter how big the rules are, the medical Tao is not humane, the humanity is not the way of heaven, you practice medicine to help the world, you have to think about these problems, God has the virtue of a good life, let's help the way of heaven! ”

"Master! Eucommia is taught! ”

"Master, Dandelion has also been taught!" Huang Xiaoqiang was really infected by the big mind of this childlike old man! A true master is a teacher in every way!

"Okay, you two take dandelions and take a look at our medicines!"

So, Du Zhong and Xue Jian took Huang Xiaoqiang out of the courtyard and came to a mountain cliff, under which is a flat and open river valley, opening up many fields, planting various medicinal materials, and there are several stone caves under the cliff.

"Little junior brother, our treasures are all raised in these caves!" Xue saw that he smiled and called Huang Xiaoqiang's junior brother, looking very happy, now someone finally calls him senior sister, and he finally has a little junior brother who can be sent!

"This is a toad! Let's go inside! Du Zhong didn't smile, he looked like he didn't eat the fireworks in the world, he looked very close, but he felt like he was standing on the edge of the sky, Huang Xiaoqiang didn't understand, why did he feel like this about this person?

The wooden door of the stone cave opened, and the three of them walked in, there was no electricity in the mountain, it was very dark inside, Du Zhong lit a torch, and then it became clear that there was a lot of space inside, and it was really a toad, but it was extremely annoying to look at, this toad was as big as a basin, full of pimples, lying in the shallow water, crawling slowly, it looked like the whole was a huge disgusting prehistoric creature! Du Zhong took out a glove and put it on, grabbed a handful of meat from the stone trough at the door, and sprinkled it, and the toads stuck out their big tongues and rolled them into their mouths without waiting for the pieces of meat to hit the ground.

"What kind of meat is this? It looks like a piece of ham sausage! ”

"It's the meat of a poisonous snake! The toad fed in this way produces a toad with excellent medicinal effect! The heavenly crisp on your wound is made of this toad! There's a snake in the hole next door, which is specially used to feed this guy! Du Zhong introduced.

Actually feeding toads with snakes, this is really unheard of, and the people and things here are really strange!

Huang Xiaoqiang praised: "It's really a good medicine!" The wound was cut open, and I felt like I didn't have any wounds! It's free! ”

"You'd better not move, the wound hasn't healed yet!" Xue sees a serious look, it does look like a senior sister!

Everyone exited the Tianchan Cave, and opened a stone cave, under the foot is a deep pool, and it is indeed a snake, Huang Xiaoqiang asked: "Is this the feed for the Tianchan?" The pool under his feet is very deep, it seems that he is afraid of those snakes climbing up, Huang Xiaoqiang knows that snakes, although they have no feet, can also climb upright trees, they are an incredible animal! When I was a child, I dug a bird's nest in a tree, and once dragged a snake out of a tree hole, so although Huang Xiaoqiang can't be afraid of heaven and earth, he is indeed a little afraid of snakes.

"It's not, the hole for feeding snakes is next door to the Tianchan Cave, here is a rainbow pit viper, which is a kind of commonly used money white flower snake, you may not find this variety outside, the money white flower snake is white on a black background, but this rainbow pit has five kinds of red, yellow, gray, black and white knots on its body, which was found by the predecessors of our medicine farmer valley in the deep mountains of the Great Qinling Mountains during the Qing Dynasty, and has been raised and bred to this day! Don't be bitten, this thing is highly poisonous, and you will die immediately after biting! In the history of our Medicine Farmer Valley, there are several seniors who were bitten to death by this thing! But it's a real treasure! This thing is sweet, salty, and warm; Poisonous. Returning to the liver meridian, it can dispel wind, clear the channel, stop spasmodic, and is used for rheumatism and stubborn paralysis, numbness and spasm, stroke, hemiplegia, convulsions, tetanus, leprosy, scabies, scrofula and other stubborn diseases, and the curative effect is several times that of the money white flower snake! As he spoke, he opened a burlap bag hanging on the side of the wall, and a bunch of rats shook out, and as soon as Eucommia stomped his feet, the rats scattered in fright, and fell into the snake pond at his feet! But when I saw those snakes that were not very moving, all of a sudden, it was like countless lightning bolts jumped up in an instant, and they bit the rat in one bite, and it was really poisonous, and the rat struggled a few times and died! The snakes began to slowly devour the rats! Looking at the way these snakes swallowed food, Huang Xiaoqiang remembered a movie "The Disaster of the Python", and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach!

Huang Xiaoqiang was deeply frightened by this thing and asked, "How can we catch such poisonous things?" ”
