Chapter 89: Reading Ancient Books

When he entered the village, he sensed that the atmosphere was not ordinary, and Chongyang stepped up his steps and returned to the village chief's house.

Jin Yu is fiddling with giant tadpoles in the yard. After a day's absence, the tadpole had dried up and had a subtle smell similar to that of soil after rain.

Chongyang asked Jin Yu, "Is something happening in the village?" ”

The village chief's family was the only one at home, and the house was quiet. Along the way, most of the villagers were not at home, and at this time, they should go home and prepare dinner.

Jin Yu took Chongyang's back basket and said, "The husband of the Shanhua family is evil, and everyone has gone to the wizard's house to help." ”

"Evil?" Chongyang was puzzled.

"yes, the whole body is covered with abscesses, and there are so many of them. It's okay to go out this morning, I heard that there were red spots on the mountain first, and then there were blisters on the red spots, I thought it was bitten by some poisonous insect, and if I didn't pay attention, my body was full of paths, like I had been whipped by a whip, and I became a ...... when I went down the mountain."

Hearing this, Chongyang is about to go out.

Jin Yu shouted behind him, "It should be in Yuchi now." ”

The villagers never called Chongyang by name, and the word Chongyang represented their respect. When Chongyang arrived at Yuchi, the villagers gathered here, and when they saw Chongyang, they greeted her with a "heavy girl" and made way for her.

The Dragon Boat Festival followed Chongyang to the front of the crowd and went directly to the front of the jade pool.

The jade pond is a hot spring eye, a very shallow hot spring, people only go to the knees, the water is very clear, you can see all kinds of jade scattered in the pool, which is also the origin of the name of the jade pool.

At this time, the husband of Shanhua was sitting in the jade pond. The symptoms are the same as those of the patients in the care of Heijie and Chongyang, and the whole body is ulcerated.

The elder wizard in the village was sprinkling yellow powder on the head of the mountain flower man, and he was still talking loudly.

In a few moments, the shirtless man was covered in yellow powder, and the sorcerer began to chant incantations and perform a blessing dance. The villagers jumped up. Bells and gongs and drums burst out. The Shanhua family knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, constantly begging the mountain god not to take away his man.

The man in the pool trembled, not because of the wizard's spell, nor because the witch dance reacted. It's just that the water is too hot. Chongyang tested the water temperature of the Jade Pond. It's too hot to wash your feet.

The man stayed in the jade pool. It's like a boiled egg, and it's tormented.

Chongyang wanted to stop it loudly, this was not saving people. It's murder!

As soon as she wanted to speak, the wizard stopped chanting and asked the man to fish out.

The thick animal skin was wrapped around the weak Shanhua man, and the wizard explained to Shanhua: "You can't let your man blow the wind, you can't get water for two days, you can't feed water, don't eat anything." ”

Shanhua nodded repeatedly.

The wizard wiped his dry old face, which was already sweating. The witch dance only danced for a short dozen seconds, but before Chongyang came, he didn't know how to toss it, Chongyang had seen the wizard pray for blessings, and understood the complicated process.

Seeing Chongyang walking towards him, the wizard smiled and said, "The heavy girl is here." ”

Chongyang asked worriedly, "Grandpa Wu, is this really effective?" ”

Grandpa Wu was old, he couldn't stand the toss, he was really tired, and sat directly on the stone next to him, while the villagers were cleaning up the things left behind after the practice.

Grandpa Wu said indifferently: "It works, our clan has a way to deal with the evil poison of the 'Red Whip' since ancient times, don't worry, tomorrow that kid will take off a layer of skin, and the day after tomorrow he will be able to go up the mountain to hunt." ”

Chongyang came to be interested, "Handed down from ancient times? ”

Grandpa Wu nodded: "It's been a long time since this kind of evil poison happened, I've only seen it twice in my life, once today, and once when I was young, when I was still studying with the previous generation of wizards." ”

The old man is easy to be nostalgic, and Grandpa Wu remembered that there were more words before, and they were all inconsequential trivialities, but Chongyang captured the word "ancient books".

Chongyang asked, "Grandpa Wu, can I take a look at that ancient book?" ”

Grandpa Wu was puzzled: "The things left by our ancestors can only be read by those who inherit the position of wizards." ”

Chongyang showed a disappointed look, and originally wanted to play tricks on Grandpa Wu to be accommodating, but Grandpa Wu immediately smiled and said: "There must be no problem if the heavy girl wants to see it, without the heavy girl, the village will be occupied by bandits, what kind of ancient books." Hey, come with me. ”

The Dragon Boat Festival patted Shunyuan, who was sorting things out, "Your village already knows how to deal with the plague, why don't you say it." ”

Shun Yuan was in a trance for a moment, and glared: "Is the plague under the mountain this evil poison?" I don't know, I only know that there is a plague, so I don't dare to stay in the city long, and I don't ask much. ”

Dragon Boat Festival shook his head, very helpless about Shunyuan's sluggishness, and seeing that Chongyang was leaving, he hurriedly followed.

Grandpa Wu smiled apologetically at the Dragon Boat Festival and said, "I'm sorry, no outsiders in my house can enter." ”

Chongyang tilted his head and said, "You go back to the village chief's house first, Jin Yu should start boiling medicine, you go and help." ”

The materials that Chongyang obtained, the things to be boiled, used by her to the villagers to prevent poisonous insects, and the effect was very good. However, some materials are difficult to obtain, and some cliffs and valleys can only be lowered by Chongyang, and the villagers cannot reach them, so they can only rely on Chongyang to help them boil a pot every year.

The boiling method is very simple, crush all the ingredients together and put them in the pot to boil, and when they are almost cooked, they will remove the impurities and cook until the pot is dry, and the rest of the pot is what they need.

Knowing that Chongyang was in a hurry to leave, there was no need to explain, Jin Yu would naturally help her boil the medicine.

When he returned to the village chief's house during the Dragon Boat Festival, Jin Yu was already burning the fire. Other herbs are easy to say, that poisonous insect, Chongyang is worried that she will have problems, and the Dragon Boat Festival can just be handled for her.

Grandpa Wu took Chongyang into the study he regarded as an important place, and carefully pulled out a book from a shelf, wanting to turn to the page where there was a record and point it to Chongyang.

"There are requirements for water quality, water temperature, and soaking time, and after a long time, people may have to cook." Grandpa Wu's eyes were not very good, and when he spoke, he couldn't turn the page he wanted to read, and handed the ancient book to Chongyang with a smile, "You read it slowly." ”

Chongyang was not in a hurry to take it, looked at the books on the bookshelf with a smile, and said, "Grandpa Wu, can I read other books?" ”

Looking at her eyes, Grandpa Wu knew what she had in mind, it was he who carelessly lured the wolf into the house, what could he do? Recognize it. He smiled: "Yes, it's one night, you can watch as much as you want." But first of all, as soon as the morning dawns, you can't worry about my study anymore. ”

It's not been a year or two since I dealt with Chongyang, and Grandpa Wu still knows Chongyang's scoundrels, and if he doesn't agree to her now, he will definitely not have a stable life.

Chongyang smiled: "Okay! Deal! ”

Grandpa Wu laughed, one night, it seems that there is a lot of time, but how much can she read as a little girl in boring and difficult to understand ancient books?

As something handed down from the ancestors, Grandpa Wu has his scruples, no matter how good Chongyang is, she is an outsider after all, Grandpa Wu did such three chapters of the law, in fact, he rejected Chongyang's request in disguise. But also because of Chongyang's kindness to the village, Grandpa Wu didn't say anything to death, but he was still accommodating.

Touching these books on the bookshelf with infinite nostalgia, Grandpa Wu sighed with emotion: "How good it should be for my apprentice to be as good as you to learn, they are all treasures left by my ancestors, but my apprentice never takes the initiative to read them, and I want me to force him to read them!" Alas, you look slowly. ”

Grandpa Wu shook his head and went out with a sigh of mourning, leaving the space to Chongyang.

By the afterglow of the setting sun, Chongyang glanced at ten lines, one page but in the blink of an eye, quickly flipped through the ancient books in his hand, and the time seemed to return to the days when he studied day and night in the Tibetan Scripture Tower.

Chongyang doesn't have the ability to forget, but she has her own means of memory, and ten years of reading have allowed her to practice such skills. Books pass through her hands one by one, and the knowledge in them is digested by her at a speed that no one else can ever imagine.

Night is coming. (To be continued......)
