Chapter Twenty-Six: Into the Mountain
In the room, the medicinal vapor was steaming, and a strong medicinal fragrance gushed out with the air.
The heat of the plaster was almost the same, and Cai Hongming held a stick and kept stirring the dragon and tiger forging jade paste in the big casserole, so as not to stick to the bottom of the plaster below and scorch.
Nowadays, many people use pig iron or stainless steel pots to boil plasters, although these two things are convenient to use, but sometimes they are not compatible with some traditional Chinese medicines, and the medicinal properties will melt away the iron stains in the pot, so that the plaster boiled out contains iron elements. It doesn't matter if it's applied externally, but it's not okay if it's taken internally for a long time. Therefore, Cai Hongming and his family use a casserole to make plasters, although it is troublesome to use, but they have persevered for so many years.
"Hongming, what kind of plaster are you practicing?"
Cai Lang smelled the fragrance of the plaster and walked in from outside, this grandson was still very satisfied, not only inherited the orthopaedic massage handed down from the family, but also refined the ancestral plaster to perfection, which is really rare.
"Dragon Tiger Forging Jade Ointment."
Cai Hongming stirred the plaster in the casserole as he spoke, and saw that the heat was almost the same, so he hurriedly filtered out the residue, put it next to it to cool, and after cooling, he put it into the prepared medicine bottle one by one.
Cai Lang watched from the side, and when he finished filling the medicine, he dug out a little plaster from a bottle and applied it to his hand. The plaster was cool to the hand, but the coolness soon became hot under the smoke of the body temperature, and then the heat intensified, penetrating into the bones, and a tickling sensation followed.
Cai Lang felt it and was surprised, he remembered that the dragon and tiger forging jade plaster he refined last time didn't seem to be so strong? I couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Hongming, do you use our medicinal materials for boiling plasters?" ”
"Well, but the keel isn't. I dug up some keels in the northwest and felt that the medicine worked well, so I used that. As he spoke, Cai Hongming took out some keel powder and showed it to his grandfather.
Cai Lang took out some powder from the keel powder he took out and put it in his mouth to taste it.
Keel is a flavor of traditional Chinese medicine, aliases: Land Rover Relic, Naga Bone, Raw Keel, Calcined Keel, Five Flower Keel, Qinghua Keel, Flower Keel, White Keel. It is the fossil of ancient mammals such as elephants, rhinoceros, three-toed horses and other bones.
As early as before, long ago, Chinese medicine has a record of using keel in medicine.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: keel is beneficial to the kidneys and relieves convulsions, stops yin malaria, collects moisture, prolapses the anus, generates muscles and sores, and astringency can be removed. Therefore, Cheng's cloud can converge the righteousness of floating and transcending, solidify the large intestine and calm the shock. and the main pulse is sick.
"Materia Medica" also recorded: keel astringent and the main convergence, where diarrhea and diarrhea and women's leakage collapse, drowning and other symptoms, are blood heat stagnation, the law is good and draining, do not use antiastringent agents, fear of accumulation and stasis in the internal anti-can also be harmful. However, those who have been sick and collapsed for a long time are not taboo.
is worthy of being an expert, just after tasting it, Cai Lang felt that the keel brought back by Cai Hongming was stronger than the keel collected at home. So, he said to Cai Hongming: "Do you still have this keel powder, give me some if you have it." ”
"Ah Gong, how much do you want, I have a lot of this keel powder."
"If you have one, leave me a pound!"
"Hmm." Cai Hongming nodded, and after loading the dragon bone forging jade paste, he took a pound of dragon bone powder from the cave heaven blessed land in the jade tripod and gave it to his grandfather.
After boiling the plaster, it was almost afternoon, and he didn't go out, and after bringing the boiled plaster back to the room, he took off his clothes and picked up the plaster to wipe his whole body, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting for the effect of the medicine to dissipate. After a while, when all the medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Forging Jade Paste was heated by the body temperature, he realized that something was wrong, and he felt that the itch of the plaster on his whole body and the itch on his hands were completely different concepts. This itch is thrown from the fur into the flesh to the bones, and the itch enters the bone marrow, and even if you scratch it, you can't stop it.
In the end, the itch was unbearable, and he had no choice but to take a cold shower to see if he could get the itch down. But I reluctantly found that this itch was not in the epidermis but in the flesh and bones, and there was no solution at all.
For a while, he didn't know what to do, so he had to sit obediently on the bed and endure himself.
It's itchy to the bone, and the feeling is as if there are countless ants crawling and crawling inside, which is really unbearable. But he can only hold back, only hoping that this itch will pass quickly. Unfortunately, it backfired. Not only did the itching not pass, but gradually intensified, making him itch and tremble.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up and started flying crane boxing.
After a while, he found that boxing could actually relieve this itch that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly continued to box. I don't know how many times I beat it, and the itch gradually faded.
At this time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that after so many punches, his body was not only not tired at all, but full of energy and energy. It seems that the dragon and tiger forging jade paste should be combined with boxing, but somehow the plaster is not mentioned.
Cai Hongming hurriedly took out the books that Ah Gong gave him and read them carefully, intending to find relevant things from them.
In the end, he finally found a few words in the notes of the old ancestor, which read, "At the beginning of refining the body, it is beneficial to rub the whole body with forging jade paste." ”
Cai Hongming was speechless, he would have known that he would have boxed, and he didn't have to endure the pain of itching for so long.
Now he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly read the book carefully, so as not to forget anything. After reading it, his eyes were full of horror. The things recorded in the book are really amazing, not only the mystery of the Flying Crane Fist, but also the killing moves of the one who will die such as cutting off the tendons and pulses, and some plasters that look very powerful, which are really unheard of. No wonder his grandfather didn't dare to pass this thing on casually. If this thing is in the hands of people who are not strong, not only is it not a good thing, but it can be a scourge.
It's a pity that he is not proficient in boxing now, and he can't practice the tricks in the book at all, otherwise he really wants to try the moves recorded in the book, but now he can only think about it.
The next day, Cai Hongming, who had nothing to do, took out a handful of ** from home, carried a small backpack with water and a little food, and went to the mountain, intending to go into the mountain for a walk.
Who wanted to be seen by Cai Hongsheng, who had already been staring at him, and followed.
"Brother, are you going to the mountains? I'll go too. ”
"What are you going to do, not going to work?" Cai Hongming asked.
"Didn't I tell you last time? I want to take a break and don't want to do it anymore. Cai Hongsheng said, and asked, "Brother, should we bring a wind gun over?" ”
"What are you doing with that thing, what if you hit someone?" Cai Hongming said angrily.
The air gun, that is, **, is not very powerful, sometimes even the bark may not be able to hit it, but it is more than enough to hit the average bird, if you encounter a more powerful bird of prey, you may not be killed. Young people love to play with this thing, and many people play in the countryside. It's just that this thing is fast and powerful at close range. If you accidentally shoot into soft places such as eyes or ears, it may also cause serious injury, so Cai Hongming has never liked to play much, the most important thing is that he was accidentally shot in the foot when he was playing, although it was just a broken skin, but the mood made him very unhappy.
Besides, now the government is very strict with guns and other things, and if nothing happens, no one may care about you, but if something happens, it will be serious later, so it's better not to move those things.
