Chapter 378: The Emperor of Herbs
After listening to Zhao Erniu's words, Duan Zhengping and Chen Wei already had a little heat in their eyes when they looked at Duobao Mouse. After all, in those fantasy novels, there have also been cameo characters of Duobao Mouse, and in the content described, this Duobao Rat is really a master of gold nuggets, as Zhao Erniu said.
Seeing that everyone turned back frequently from time to time, Wang Rui had to explain: "Brother Zhao, although this Duobao rat has some abilities, it is not as powerful as you said. What a mobile treasure detector, these are all nonsense in those novels! Sniffing for rare medicinal herbs is just a habit of this animal. ”
While marching towards the depths of the back peak, Wang Rui explained loudly. If Zhao Erniu and a few people were allowed to "make up for their brains", Wang Rui didn't know that they would imagine this treasure rat in their arms as a "divine beast".
What's more, in Wang Rui's heart, he didn't mean to bring this treasure rat out of Ling Cuifeng. After all, according to Wang Rui's understanding of the life of the Duobao Mouse, if he was brought into the city to raise it, not only would he not be able to advance whether it would survive, but it would also not be of any help to itself.
Now Wang Rui is holding him, just because he has injuries on his body, and he has taken action to treat it. Of course, there is still a little bit of selfishness in Wang Rui's heart, that is, he hopes that the treasure rat in his arms will be able to accidentally find some rare medicinal materials in the process of searching for the "stone leaves" later.
After all, the back peak of Lingcui Peak, where a few of them are now, is not something that can be entered if they want to enter on weekdays. Although a few people have not encountered it since then, the many dangers described by the old people in the village. But just because you haven't touched it doesn't mean you don't exist. Therefore, under the leadership of Chen Wei, several people were still very careful and slowly marched towards the place where the "stone leaves on the leaves" were located.
When you are tired, find a relatively spacious and safe place to sit down and rest for a while; If you are thirsty and hungry, then fill your stomach with the dry food you bring to the clear mountain spring. From the front peak to the back peak, there is a long distance, but fortunately, several people are strong young people.
Chen Wei and Zhao Erniu often enter Ling Cuifeng to pick some medicinal herbs in their spare time to supplement their families. Duan Zhengping has also been operating a medicinal material cultivation base for the past year. And the amount of exercise has increased dramatically. As for Wang Rui, he has been practicing the Aoki Divine Technique for half a year. Although it was a long journey, I didn't look tired at all.
After the four of them were trekking through mountains and rivers for a long time, Chen Wei, who led the team in front, stopped moving forward. Through the dense foliage, you can see the sun in the sky. It has skewed towards the west. Apparently it's past noon.
"Rui. I found the 'Igami Leaf' over there last time! Chen Wei, who stopped, pointed to a clearing about three hundred meters away from everyone and said to Wang Rui.
Everyone looked in the direction of Chen Wei's finger. The first thing that catches your eye is a large flat meadow. Although everyone is in the depths of the back peak, there is such a vast and flat grassland on this back peak, which also amazes everyone.
"Lao Chen, you can't remember the wrong location, right? Is there a 'stone leaf' on the grass? Why don't you see half a stone? After Duan Zhengping looked at the place Chen Wei was pointing to, he couldn't help but question, and Zhao Chenghao on the side also nodded in agreement.
Although Duan Zhengping, like Zhao Erniu, had not witnessed the "stone leaves" that Wang Rui needed, according to their understanding of the naming principles of Chinese medicinal materials, this medicinal material called "stone leaves" should obviously grow in places related to rocks, and this is a flat grassland in front of him, and there are no stones to be found.
There are certain rules in the naming of Chinese herbal medicines, which are generally named separately or comprehensively according to the characteristics of the drug's form, smell, color, function, origin, medicinal part, harvest season and other aspects.
For example, the cow's knee is named because the medicinal material resembles the knee joint of a cow. Similarly, there are many Chinese medicinal materials that are named according to the rules on them. Duan Zhengping and Zhao Chenghao understood "Shishangye" as its name due to its place of origin.
"Who said 'stone leaves' should grow between rocks? My memory is not wrong, the medicinal herb that Xiao Rui asked for is over there, let's go and see it together! Chen Wei was obviously dissatisfied with Duan Zhengping's questioning of himself, pointed to the lawn not far away again, and shouted at the other party.
After listening to Chen Wei's words, a trace of doubt flashed across Duan Zhengping's face, and he couldn't help but ask Wang Rui, who was looking at the lawn beside him, "Xiao Rui, is there really the medicinal herb you are looking for over there?" Doesn't the 'stone leaf' grow between the rocks? ”
In fact, as early as when Chen Wei stopped, Wang Rui felt that he and the others were almost at the destination of this trip. After all, the treasure rat that had been lying in his arms was holding his small head and looking around at this time.
The little upturned nose kept moving, and it wasn't until a while that the Duobao rat squeaked in one direction. And the direction it is looking at coincides with the place that Chen Wei is pointing to, so Wang Rui agrees with Chen Wei's words about "leaves on the stone" on the lawn in his heart.
However, at this time, Zhengping asked himself, and Wang Rui was also willing to answer his questions. Obviously, Zhao Erniu and Chen Wei also wanted to know the relevant information of the "Shishang Ye" of the Dao, so they couldn't help but firmly "lock" their eyes on Wang Rui.
According to the record in Wang Rui's "Apricot Yellow Artifacts" in his mind, the environment required for the growth of this "stone leaf" is indeed not between the rocks. Therefore, Chen Wei found the existence of "stone leaves" on the flat grassland he was referring to.
The leaves on the stone have a spicy and sweet taste, and have the miraculous effects of warming the meridians, clearing yang and turning qi, dispelling wind and channeling. Because of its medicinal properties, wide and widespread, it has the title of "the emperor of herbs......
Wang Rui has thought about these words recorded in the "Xinghuang Artifacts" several times, so he can easily take a few paragraphs from them, and he can tell Duan Zhengping and a few people that they are ugly. Therefore, while introducing the habits, efficacy and characteristics of the "stone leaves" to everyone, Wang Rui walked quickly towards the grass with a Duobao mouse in his arms.
The distance of a few hundred meters is only a few minutes' walk for everyone, so when everyone walks from the forest into this vast grassland of the back peak. Not only is they in a cheerful mood, but they are about to see the ultimate goal of their trip - Ishigami.
Facts have proved that Chen Wei's memory is very good. Because when Wang Rui and the others followed the direction that Chen Wei began to point out and came to the grass, they clearly saw the location of the "stone leaf". Not because Duan Zhengping and the others have an in-depth understanding of "Shishangye" because of Wang Rui's introduction, but because it is too prominent.
At this time, Wang Rui and the others had already come to the location where the "stone on the leaf" was, and in front of them, several round pits about two meters square were impressively presented. I don't know how deep these round pits are, they are full of crystal clear landscapes, and the "stone leaves" that Wang Rui asked for are in one of the puddles.
The emerald disc floats on the surface of the water, similar to the lotus leaves in the pond weir, with large discs. However, there is a fundamental difference between the two, that is, the "stone leaves" in front of everyone's eyes at this time not only have a refreshing and calming fragrance, but also have a golden edge like gold around its round leaves.
Under the scorching sun in the afternoon, this Phnom Penh shines even brighter. Not only that, but there were not a single plant within a foot of the puddle where the "stone leaves" grew. Even the plants that lean on the side of this mysterious area grow very short, as if they are malnourished.
"Except for some scents, it's no different! Xiao Rui, I think this 'stone leaf' might as well be called 'water leaf'! Looking at the "stone leaves" in the puddle, Duan Zhengping pouted and said.
Regarding Duan Zhengping's evaluation, Wang Rui didn't have the heart to discuss it, at this time, in his heart, he was already thinking about how to pick and preserve the "stone leaves". In my mind, I once again found out the information about "Shishang Ye" in the "Apricot Yellow Artifacts" and studied it.
Putting the Duobao Mouse in his arms into the hands of Duan Zhengping beside him, Wang Rui gathered his mind and stretched out his hands towards the "stone leaves" in the puddle. Among the puddles in front of everyone, only the round pit where Wang Rui is located has "stone leaves", if you carefully count the leaves on the water surface, there are only three leaves, and they are still one big and two small.
And what Wang Rui wants to pick is, of course, the largest of the three leaves. Squatting slightly on the edge of the puddle, Zhao Erniu on the side couldn't help but pull the clothes behind Wang Rui tightly in order to prevent Wang Rui from falling into the puddle.
When Wang Rui's white-skinned and slender fingers just came into contact with the "stone leaves", a refreshing and comfortable feeling couldn't help but rise from his heart instantly. I don't know if it's an illusion or something real, Wang Rui only felt that the green leaf that he had firmly grasped in his hand shone with a faint golden glow at this moment.
It's just that the time for this golden mang to appear is too short, so that Wang Rui can't be sure that he really saw its appearance. The picking process was very smooth, and when the green leaves, which were two feet square, were picked up by Wang Rui from the puddle, everyone couldn't help but feel the pleasant fragrance, which was closer to them.
"Look, what's going on?" Just as Wang Rui was looking at the "stone leaf" in his hand, Chen Wei beside him pointed to the puddle and shouted, his face was full of shock and doubt.
As he pointed out, the crowd also saw a vision that they had never seen before. This "stone leaf" is similar to the lotus leaf, and after the largest leaf was picked by Wang Rui, its remaining stem in the water actually "burned" instantly.
Right! It's burning! (To be continued......)
