162 Thorn Golden Grass
Bellflowers, which love moisture, often grow near water, and they grow in clumps, so they are easy to find and not difficult to find.
As soon as Mu Ying turned the corner, he saw the clump of bellflowers growing at the bottom of the big rock, and there were about seventeen or eighteen of them. Among the people who followed Mu Ying on this trip, except for Steward Wu, the rest were apprentices or guys who did odd jobs for the store.
Needless to say, the apprentice came here to learn the method of picking spirit grass, which is just the right time to have more experience. As for those guys, although they don't have to learn alchemy, they usually have to come into contact with the spirit grass and elixir, so it will also be good for them to let them come out and have a look. Besides, there are more people coming, and there will be some security in terms of safety, so as not to be overstaffed when encountering danger.
The ten of them, on the surface, seemed to listen to Steward Wu's words, after all, his cultivation was the highest in it, and he was the person in charge of this trip, responsible for protecting everyone's safety. But in fact, Mu Ying is their backbone.
Mu Ying is not very old, but she is already a second-grade alchemist, so she is very clear about the characteristics and processing methods of each spirit grass, even if other people have a higher cultivation than her, but they are far inferior to her in alchemy medicine, so their group of people, in terms of safety, is to listen to Wu Guanshi's "〓 novel", but in matters related to spirit grass, it is to look at Mu Ying, which is also the practice of the pharmacy: every time you go out to collect medicine, the whole team must follow the instructions of the accompanying alchemist when collecting medicine and looking for medicine. It is Wu Steward, if Mu Ying needs it, he can also command the movement. It's just that Mu Ying doesn't have to do that when it's not necessary.
So although Mu Ying was the latest, when she got there, the guys and apprentices were watching her, waiting for her to speak.
Mu Ying had already seen it at this time. Those white bell-like flowers were undoubtedly bellflowers, so he nodded at them, "Be careful not to hurt the rhizomes of bellflowers." ”
Serious matters. Most of the fellows and apprentices were in their teens and twenties, and although they were not very peaceful when they came, they were always playing, but they were doing their business at this time. So one by one, they got serious. Seeing that Mu Ying signaled that they could do it, he took the small shovel needed to dig the spirit grass and the medicine box needed to put the spirit grass from the storage bag one by one.
The spirit grass is also particular, most of them can be packed with a general medicine box, this medicine box is specially made, specially designed for placing the spirit grass, it can keep the spirit grass just picked up, will not dry up, will not make the medicine volatilize. However, there are some herbs that cannot be packed in ordinary medicine boxes due to their medicinal properties. You have to use a specific pill box to place it. For example, some spirit herbs are cold, and they will not be well stored if they are placed in an ordinary medicine box, so they should be put into a box that is also cold; On the other hand, if the spirit grass is hot, then you have to use a medicine box that is also hot. There are also some spirit grass that have to be preserved in wooden boxes, jade boxes, etc., if the box is not used well, then no matter how good the spirit grass is, it cannot be preserved.
When picking, you should also pay attention to the small shovel can not be shoveled directly to the roots. That would damage the roots of the spirit grass, and of course you can't cut off the spirit grass in the middle of the center. As long as the spirit grass is damaged, its medicinal properties will be affected, and even its value will be greatly reduced. Therefore, you must be careful when digging the spirit grass, and you must ensure that the spirit grass is complete.
Therefore, picking spirit grass is also very technical, if it is a raw hand, then you have to watch it all the time. Otherwise, they will definitely make mistakes.
Because this is not the first time Mu Ying has brought them out, he also knows the level of the people present, knowing that they usually look lively, but in fact, they are quite serious when they are working, so they are relieved to let them do it at this time.
When everyone was carefully digging the spirit grass. Mu Ying also squatted down, holding a small medicine shovel in his hand like them, and began to dig very carefully along the vicinity of the land where the spirit grass grows. While using his fingers to pluck the soil, he slowly dug into the ground with a small medicine shovel. Soon, the bellflower under Mu Ying's hand had already left the ground and slowly arrived in Mu Ying's hands.
Mu Ying took out the medicine box and put it in, and then she was about to dig another plant, but when she accidentally saw that the apprentice next to her was about to dig a bellflower, her face changed, and she hurriedly stopped loudly: "Don't move!" ”
Except for Steward Wu, who was standing near them to observe on guard, the others were digging the spirit grass, and as soon as Mu Ying stopped drinking like this, everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked at Mu Ying a little inexplicably.
The medicine apprentice who was stopped by Mu Ying was a little stunned, and when he saw Mu Ying looking at him, he subconsciously wondered if there was danger around him again, so she wanted to remind herself, but when he looked around and found nothing, he asked a little confused: "What's wrong with Lingering?" ”
Mu Ying was carefully looking at the "bellflower" that he almost did, and after looking at it for a while, he replied, "This is not a bellflower." ”
"What?"
This surprised voice was not only asked by the apprentice, but by everyone, and even Steward Wu approached curiously to see what was going on. No matter how they looked at it, they all thought that the spirit grass in front of them like a small bell was undoubtedly bellflower, how could it not be?
Mu Ying pointed to the root of this spirit grass and said to them, "Take a closer look. ”
With her finger, eight heads suddenly came to the spirit grass to observe, and even Steward Wu poked his head out. When they first looked at it, they still thought it was a bellflower, but when they carefully compared it with other bellflowers, they were surprised one by one.
Because this bellflower in front of me is so different from the others!
For other bellflowers, the rhizomes are green and smooth. But the bellflower in front of me has very small thorns on the rhizome, and if you don't look closely, you can't find it at all. And the difference is very subtle, except that its flowers are the same as those of other bellflowers.
Xiao He, the apprentice who was going to pick this spirit grass, was a little confused, "Haunting, isn't this bellflower?" So what is it? ”
"It's a mutated spirit grass of the bellflower, called the Thorn Gold Grass."
Thorn goldenrod? Why is the name so weird?
When everyone heard the name Mu Ying said, not only did they not remember what the Thorn Golden Grass was, but they were even more confused, because they had never heard of the name of this Spirit Grass at all.
"This kind of spirit grass is rare, so it's normal for you not to know." Mu Ying looked at this spirit grass and made sure that it was indeed a thorn golden grass, which was exactly the same as the introduction she had seen in the jade slip that Jin Qi'an had given her.
I still remember that five years ago, when Master Jin asked Mu Ying to tell her the truth about her spiritual root, he gave her a jade slip when she was leaving, and asked her to go back to her room to see it. When she went back to look at it, she couldn't close her mouth in surprise.
The name of that jade is simply called.
First of all, there were all the names and characteristics of the spirit grass, not to mention the very detailed records, and there were even some names of mutant spirit grasses that Mu Ying had never heard of before. After the introduction of these characteristics, there are also points that need to be paid attention to when picking each spirit grass, what kind of box should be used to place it, how to deal with the spirit grass, and so on.
With the above things, it was enough to surprise Mu Ying, but it surprised Mu Ying far more than that. In addition, after the introduction of each spirit grass, it is recorded what kind of spirit grass this spirit grass can be fused with, which spirit grass is repulsed from, and what characteristics it will have after fusing with which spirit grass.
After reading this jade slip, Mu Ying was simply stunned on the spot, she only felt that the jade slip in her hand was amazingly heavy, and the surprise and excitement it brought to her was indescribable.
I didn't expect that the jade slip that Master Jin gave her was actually such a book! There's no problem with its name, it's really a detailed record, and it couldn't be more detailed!
Mu Ying had also seen jade slips and books introducing the spiritual grass of the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the Mu family and the pharmacy before. When she read those things, she thought the content was very detailed, but compared to the book in her hand, it was very rough!
With this jade slip in her hand, Mu Ying almost directly laid the foundation of a pharmacist, and she didn't even need to go through the special teaching of other pharmacists to already know a lot of pharmaceutical knowledge.
The jade slip that Master Jin gave her is really of great significance. Although Mu Ying didn't know what the rules of this pharmacy were, he also knew that this jade slip was not for everyone to see, because its value was immeasurable, so it was destined not to be available to every apprentice in the pharmacy.
After seeing and learning in the pharmacy in the past few years, Mu Ying realized the value of that jade slip even more. Because in the past few years, she has found that the progress of other apprentices when they follow the alchemists to learn knowledge is very slow, and the attitude of those alchemists towards them is completely different from that towards themselves, treating them very casually, and the content taught is very small, and they seem to have reservations. And I have less to worry about myself. Although some people will hide their secrets, compared with other apprentices, their own treatment is undoubtedly much better.
It was also because of the help of that jade slip that Mu Ying had a lot less twists and turns in the later learning process and saved a lot of effort.
Also because she had seen that jade slip, she would know that the spirit grass in front of her that looked almost exactly the same as the bellflower was called the Thorn Gold Grass.
"Although the thorns on the rhizome of the spiny grass are very small, they are actually very sharp, as long as you touch it with your hand, it will instantly cut your fingers, and if you prick your hand, its venom will enter your body through your blood."
As soon as Mu Ying's words came out, that Xiao He directly turned white in fright, and hurriedly took a few steps back, not only him, but the others also retreated far away, lest they accidentally touch the thorny golden grass.
"This thing is still poisonous??? (To be continued......)
