Jian Ling spread his hands helplessly: "I don't know either." ”

"How could you not know?" Arjun said that he couldn't understand, "You just need to change back into the form of a beast, won't you know what your distant ancestor is?" ”

Jian Ling had no choice but to talk about his inability to take the initiative to transform, and Ah Qiong was even more surprised: "The beast clan that can't transform, this is really amazing!" To be honest, if it weren't for Saisi's guarantee and the personal permission of the Patriarch of Or, I would have doubted that you were really an orc. ”

Jian Ling smiled indifferently.

In order to make it easier for her to arrange her work, Arjun asked her if she could cook.

Jian Ling replied very dryly: "No." ”

"What about chopping vegetables?"

"No, it won't."

"Pickles?"

"How?"

“…… Well, you are really a messenger sent by Heaven to torment me, come with me," Arjun patted her on the head, called her to a small stove, pointed to the small jar on the stove, and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Jian Ling glanced at the gray clay pot and keenly smelled a hint of medicine floating in the air: "Medicine pot." ”

It seems that she didn't expect her to answer right at one time, which made Arjun, who had planned to explain patiently, slightly stunned, and looked at her with a slight change in her gaze: "Can you decoct medicine?" ”

"Yes," Jian Ling paused, "who is this medicine for?" Is there a prescription? Can you show me? ”

"This is the medicine of the Patriarch of Euer, and his illness has not improved, so Greenson prescribed some medicine for him, which delayed the further deterioration of his condition a little, as for the prescription...... Wait, I'll look for it. ”

Arjun turned to open the cupboard embedded in the rock wall. An animal skin was pulled out of it, and he handed it to Jian Ling.

When Jian Ling saw the words written on the leather, he was immediately stunned - it turned out to be Chinese characters?!

In this era when ancient culture was almost gone, Chinese characters were largely extinct. Occasionally, a few Chinese characters are written in some places to serve as a façade, but there are inevitably various mistakes. But there are almost no errors in the Chinese characters written on this skin. The standard block letters, punctuation marks, at a glance, clear and clear.

The person who wrote this prescription was either extremely smart and learned, or he came from a thousand years ago like her.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is this the prescription written by Gleason?" ”

"Yes, it took him half a year to write. There will definitely be no fake," Arjun noticed the discoloration in Jian Ling's eyes, "What's the matter, there is something wrong with this prescription?" ”

"No, the prescription is pretty well written. Most of them are medicinal herbs that strengthen the foundation of Peiyuan, although it is said that it cannot be cured, but at least it can help the Ouer patriarch reduce some of the pain, which is quite a safe practice," Jian Ling replied honestly.

"Oh, that's good," Arjun thought for a moment, and was a little puzzled, looking at Jian Ling's thoughtful expression. Tentatively asked, "Do you know how to heal?" ”

"I know a little bit about it."

Ah Qiong's eyes were pleasantly surprised, and her snow-white tail dangled: "That's really good, I'll leave the matter of decocting medicine for the Ouer patriarch to you in the future." ”

"Okay."

Jian Ling officially took root in the kitchen, and was responsible for decocting medicines for the Ouer patriarch every day, and most of those medicinal materials were known to her. But there were also some she didn't recognize. For this reason, she took the prescription and took the initiative to find Gleason and ask them about the medicinal properties and effects of these medicinal materials.

When she came to the door, Gleason was immersed in his small study studying astronomical materials, and on his desk, there was a blue quicksand table that resembled a sand table. Those blue grains of sand seem to be alive, and they will flow on their own, forming a miniature cosmic image, which is very delicate and wonderful.

Gleason was overjoyed to learn of her intentions. The entire beast clan is very respectful of force, and there are few guys who really love knowledge, which makes him, a high-knowledge person engaged in scientific research, hate iron and steel, and at the same time, he also gives birth to a loneliness, emptiness and coldness that no one understands.

He immediately put down the work in his hand, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, took the prescription from Jian Ling's hand, looked at the place where her finger was pointing, and replied carefully: "This is the grantus flower, the medicinal properties are yin, and it grows in the place where the yin is damp and the sun is back." It has a very short flowering period, only half dusk, and if you want to take it as medicine, you must pick it when the flowers are in full bloom, and then dry and seal them. It is a good medicine for invigorating qi and blood, and if used in combination with Gexin herb, it can also improve respiratory diseases. ”

Jian Ling nodded and pointed his finger at the other two medicinal herbs: "What about these?" ”

"This is the root of the Fusu Golden Tree tree, which is a tree with strong vitality and can survive strong no matter how harsh the environment is. But at the same time, this also creates its domineering growth habits, but wherever there is a Fusu golden tree growing, almost all the nutrients in the soil will be robbed by them, so that other plants cannot survive, so they are also called plant killers," Gleason turned around, took out a book three inches thick from the shelf, and expertly flipped to the page where the Fusu golden tree was written.

He pointed to the picture in the book and showed her: "This is the Fusu Golden Wood Tree, its leaves are edible, and its trunk and roots can be used as medicine." The medicinal properties of the trunk are more domineering, it has a miraculous effect of relieving pain, but it is easy to be addicted, so it is used less. Its root medicine is relatively mild, has the effect of nourishing the body and soothing the nerves, and is very useful for dealing with insomnia and headaches. Even if you are not sick, it can be eaten as a health product, and the taste is quite sweet. ”

He closed the book and pushed his glasses again: "This is Starlight Grass, after tearing it open, the juice and meat inside can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation." After drying it, it is boiled into a medicinal juice that strengthens the body......"

After that, he explained four or five different medicinal materials in detail, helping Jian Ling solve all his doubts.

Noticing the three large bookshelves behind him that occupied almost the entire study, Jian Ling was extremely surprised in his heart, those bookshelves were all filled with all kinds of books, some thin and some thick, with a wide variety of categories, and all of them were paper. According to today's market where paper is more expensive than gold, the handsome Sven guy in coarse cloth in front of him is definitely a billionaire!

This is really unseemly, in this small tribe of orcs who don't even have electricity, there is such an astonishing number of paper books, which makes those anthropologists see it, and they have to die of red-eyed?!

"Do you understand what I'm talking about?" Gleason, who was too honest, smiled very kindly, "If there is anything you don't understand, just say it, and I will definitely help you answer it." ”

"Not for the time being, thank you very much for your answer," Jian Ling put away the prescription and swept his gaze over the book he was holding in his hand, the cover of which was written in traditional Chinese with the words "Chinese Herbal Medicine Dictionary", "This book looks very good, where did you get it?" ”

"That's what you say?" Gleason shook the book in his hand, "It was acquired by our ancestors in the course of their struggle against humanity, and they later adapted it according to the actual situation to write the book in this study. They have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been passed down to the present day, and I, as the High Priest of this term, will be on a mission to continue to revise and improve them until the next change of office is completed. ”

It's no wonder that the content of these books is exceptionally complete, not only illustrated and illustrated, but also with detailed annotations in many places. The most important thing is that Jian Ling understands the reason why Gleason can write Chinese characters, and it turns out that the root cause of everything is in these books, which makes her quietly relieved.

She said, how can you be so lucky, reborn once in a while, and meet a crossing friend? It seems that she is overthinking.

But putting aside those messy conjectures, Jian Ling was still quite excited to see so many precious books with his own eyes. Her eyes sparkled: "Can I borrow books here?" I promise to take care of it, and it will never break! ”

"The reason why the ancestors compiled and preserved these books is to bless the descendants, if you want to borrow them, just come to me, just make a simple registration," Gleeson paused, his eyes swept over Jian Ling's obvious happiness, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and laughed along, "You seem to like books very much?" The books here are all ancient characters, you can all know them? ”

"This ...... Don't worry about you, I've done some research on ancient characters before, and as long as it's not too difficult, I can mostly understand it. ”

"Oh? You know ancient characters?! Gleason's eyes lit up, and he looked surprised.

Noticing his excessively burning eyes, Jian Ling looked at him with some vigilance: "What's wrong?" ”

"Come, come with me," Gleason grabbed her by the wrist and led her to a small storeroom hidden behind bookshelves, despite her objections. In this small storeroom of less than 10 square meters, the surrounding rock walls are all hewn into the shape of bookshelves, and they are filled with books of various colors, spreading up layer by layer, and there is almost no end in sight.

There are 100,000 books in it, not to mention 30,000, and the dense spine makes people dizzy.

Jian Ling didn't care about shaking off Gleasson's hand at this time, and looked at the books around him in shock: "These are ......"

"They are all ancient books of our beast race, accumulated over thousands of years, and each page is the result of the efforts of countless ancestors," Gleason let go of her wrist, put her right hand on her chest, and bowed respectfully forward, "Although they are gone, they have left the most precious things to their descendants, and they will live on forever in our hearts." ”

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Jian Ling and explained his intention in bringing her here: "You have also seen how amazing the number of books here is, I have to clean this place thoroughly every year before the dry season comes, so as not to breed mold and damage the books." In the past, I always invited my friends from the clan to help, but none of them knew the ancient characters, and it was very difficult to sort them out. It's rare for you to know ancient characters, and I hope to invite you to help with this cleaning mission, so please be sure to agree. ”

Looking at his appearance, Jian Ling raised his eyebrows: "I still have to help Patriarch Ouer decoction medicine every day." ”

"The decoction only takes two hours, and you can help me sort out the books the rest of the time," he paused, and smiled mysteriously, "and when the cleaning is done here, I'll give you a nice gift as a reward for your help." ”
