Chapter 2 Newborn calves
At dusk on the west mountain, the last remnant sun shines on the boulder in front of you, and the three big characters of "Baihua Palace" are simple and vigorous! It is said that the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace are all outstanding in charm, especially the charm of the three heroes and four shows is even more perfect, it has reached the point where people worship under the pomegranate skirt between the gestures, and there have been anecdotes and anecdotes in the rivers and lakes that have been famous for many years in order to see the beauty of the face.
Over time, there have been rumors that a hundred flowers have come out of the mountains and are turbulent, which shows its influence in the rivers and lakes. The one hundred and eight steps of climbing the mountain means one hundred and eight constellations, but in recent years, there are very few people who can go straight to the top of the mountain, not to say how steep the mountain steps are, but that there are a pair of disciples guarding the mountain every thirty-six floors of this mountain step, and there are a total of eight disciples from the first pair to the top at the foot of the mountain.
Wen Ziqi stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the two female disciples in front of him, and just wanted to clasp his fists and salute to explain his intention, when he heard a voice behind him: "Who is coming, above the stone steps is the boundary of my Baihua Palace, men need to stop here, if you want to forcibly enter the mountain, you need to report your name." ”
Wen Ziqi turned around to look when he heard this, and saw a yellow-shirted girl standing not far away, holding a three-foot Qingfeng in her hand and staring at her. Wen Ziqi said in surprise: "I didn't come to the mountain, but I need to visit the elder hall for important things!" ”
The yellow-shirted girl said with an angry face: "Ridiculous, is the elder of my Hundred Flowers Palace something you can meet casually?" I think you are a fool of yourself and deliberately came here to make trouble, since you have the intention to make a fool of yourself, I will fulfill you. "After that, he held the sword trick in his left hand, and stabbed it with his right wrist as soon as he lifted the sword!
Wen Ziqi stepped his right foot, turned his left hand into a claw, and grabbed at the scabbard. When he said it too late, he saw that the two were about to fight, and he heard a sentence from afar: "Ziqi, don't retreat, go to the gate of this mountain to make some trouble." ”
As soon as Wen Ziqi heard the voice, he knew that the person who spoke was Shi Niang, so he kicked back with his right foot and retreated sharply. The woman in the yellow shirt also heard who the voice was, and hurriedly withdrew her sword to the side.
When I raised my eyes, I saw You Qianzi and Ling Kunzi walking slowly. The woman in the yellow shirt and the two women who were originally guarding the mountain saw Ling Kunzi and hurriedly saluted, "Master"
Wen Ziqi almost laughed when he heard that this girl actually called Ling Kunzi his ancestor. deliberately came to Ling Kunzi and shouted, "Master!" ”
The woman in the yellow shirt was slightly stunned at first, and then glared at Wen Ziqi viciously. Wen Ziqi was glared at by this gaze, and then remembered what he was doing here, so he put away his original intention of abusing the girl in the yellow shirt, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Master, I was wrong!" ”
Ling Kunzi glanced at Wen Ziqi and said, "What do you have to say, what are you messing around here?" ”
Wen Ziqi responded obediently, and stood behind the two of them, staring at the girl in front of them. Seeing the anger on the girl's face, she "poofed" and laughed.
You Ling and the others could only pretend not to hear, and Ling Kunzi even called the girl in the yellow shirt to the front and said: "Yushu, don't act recklessly in the future, today is the two of you who arrived in time If it's a little late, if you two fight again and hurt each other, how will you get along in the future!" ”
The girl in the yellow shirt clenched her fists and replied, "The juniors know that they are wrong. ”
Ling Kunzi nodded and said with a slight smile: "Just now, it seems that your set of swordsmanship from a distance has been able to be used handy, but I really want to have no mental assistance from you, so you go back to your master and ask her to pass on the Yuyao mental technique to you." ”
The girl in the yellow shirt hurriedly knelt down and said, "Liu Yushu, thank you Ancestor!" ”
Ling Kunzi waved his hand and said, "Okay, I still have important things to deal with." After that, he took Wen Ziqi and returned the same way, and in front of the passing girl, Wen Ziqi deliberately raised his head to look like an elder, which really made the girl hate the itch of her teeth.
"What, it turns out that you are working together to calculate me, and I still want to hide it for you when the master loses, it turns out that the master already knows that it is you, so what kind of good person am I pretending to be here, master, it's not right for you to do this!" When he came back, the upstream cadres had already told him what had happened, and then he realized that everything was calculated, and Wen Ziqi cried out with a smile and choked up: "I really thought that I had destroyed the guqin and was going to die for the qin." ”
Ling Kunzi looked at him silently and said slowly: "Silly boy, why would the master be willing to let you go to the piano, in fact, the master will tell you a secret, I also sneaked into the holy land to play this piano when I was as old as you, and I was punished by the master at that time, time flies really fast in the blink of an eye, more than forty years have passed, Ziqi, you have been here for fifteen years!"
Wen Ziqi replied: "It's been fifteen years since I returned to my master. ”
Ling Kunzi sighed and said, "In the past fifteen years, I know that you want to take revenge all the time, but who do you go to for revenge?" I used to worry that you were too young and afraid that you would not be safe, but now that you have grown up, find a day to go down the mountain. You should have your own path to follow. ”
At this time, You Qianzi, who was sitting on the chair, stood up and walked over and said to Wen Ziqi: "The rivers and lakes are sinister, you must not be unreserved, everything must be cautious, from today on, you must forget all that you have learned, let alone say that you are the apprentice of the two of us, from the moment you go down the mountain, everything can only rely on yourself." Do you understand? ”
Wen Ziqi nodded and said: "The apprentice strictly follows the master's teachings, but the apprentice still has a lot of reluctance in his heart. ”
You Qianzi hurriedly interrupted Wen Ziqi and said: "A good man is ambitious in all directions, what kind of system is twisted like this, okay, you go back and clean up first, I will come over later and explain to you again, and I will go down the mountain tomorrow." ”
Wen Ziqi had no choice but to say goodbye to the two of them and exit the house, turned to leave, looked at the departing figure Ling Kunzi and said: "If you want to find a famous teacher to visit the sky, the spear and green bee want to compete for dominance, it is difficult to find a dragon in the sea, and you can understand the world on Yukun Mountain." I assert that in the near future, Ziqi's reputation will definitely be above you and me. ”
You Qianzi stroked his beard and laughed: "How can the apprentice of my second son of Qiankun be a vulgar thing? ”
The autumn breeze is bleak, the night is as cool as water, like a covered sky full of stars, a round of bright full moon hangs high in it, the noisy city has long been silent, even the barking of dogs is rarely heard, Wen Ziqi lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't sleep, and the moonlight faintly shone in through the window. Inside the house, two wooden beds are placed against the wall, a small round table is placed in the middle of the room, and two wooden shelves are placed by the window on the south side, on which are wooden basins and towels for washing.
Wen Ziqi looked at everything in the room, and heard a few soft snoring sounds coming from the wooden bed in the east from time to time. It has been more than half a month since I came here, and I still remember the master's advice when I went down the mountain. Before leaving, the master talked to him all night and said that fifteen years ago, the twelve halls collapsed overnight, and Yichun Hall took its place, perhaps because of the situation, but in a very short period of time, it spread throughout the entire Zhou country.
That is the case, perhaps it is a good direction to find a breakthrough from Yichuntang. Today's Yichun Hall has spread all over the Zhou Kingdom, from the procurement of medicinal materials in the palace to the approval of Yichun Hall every three years, the selection of imperial doctors must be approved by Yichun Hall, which can be described as a monopoly, and it is rumored that even the current head of the imperial doctor used to be a member of Yichun Hall.
Nowadays, if you want to make a difference in the practice of medicine and medicine, there is only a way out in the Spring Hall. Fortunately, every year, Yichun Hall recruits some apprentices from outside. Don't hesitate to start here. With your attainments in pharmacy, the hall master of Qingzhou is like a chick to you, and if you can get his reuse, it should be much easier to act in the future. So Wen Ziqi went down the mountain to a remote village, and soon found a perennial wandering tour of Langzhong, to Lang Zhong filial piety of a hundred taels of silver, told Lang Zhong in the future to make a hanging pot to benefit the neighboring Langzhong, but because now Yichun Tang does not know him, practicing medicine outside will be treated as a liar, if you can go to Yichun Hall for a few years, there will be a source for practicing medicine in the future, which will save a lot of inconvenience, Lao Lang Zhong heard Wen Ziqi say so and agreed, and then wrote a letter to him, In a few days, he took him to the door to apprentice.
The world is unpredictable, who knows that Lang Zhong went into the mountain to collect medicine the next day, and fell off the cliff, and in desperation, he helped Lang Zhong to take care of the future generations and went to Yichun Hall alone, fortunately, Lang Zhong had mentioned himself to the local steward in a letter, and Wen Ziqi did not take much trouble to start the apprentice of Yichun Hall. If you let the master know that he is now a disciple of the hall master of the Qingzhou branch, what kind of expression should he have, it is also an unintentional move, he simply told a story to the other apprentices, and by the way, he said a few more words of pharmacology, and the hall master Zhu felt that he was a talent.
It's just that I didn't expect that even he would be accepted as a disciple together, which really makes people laugh and cry. Originally, five or six people were crammed into a large bunk, but now even the place where they live has become a room for two people, and it seems that this disciple status is not without harm. Maybe it's really fate that favors me, thinking back to the day, I feel that everything seems to be arranged, although I entered Yichun Hall, but I can only start from the bottom of the chores, every day is to bring tea and water to people to clean up the courtyard, not to mention studying medicine, but I can't even touch a medicinal herb.
On this day, when it was time to eat lunch, the new and old ten or so handymen gathered around a long wooden table to eat together, sorting herbs Wu Asheng complained: Today is unlucky, my hands have been pricked several times in the morning, everyone asked if it was a new batch of sand gardens, and everyone continued to eat, but sitting next to Wen Ziqi, Ling Haoran was puzzled and asked: Is there anything funny about this sand garden? "Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all cast disdainful glances.
Wen Ziqi saw that no one cared about this new apprentice like him, so he said to him: If you see this sand garden, you also know that in the late autumn season, most of the children of poor families playing in the wild have been pierced by him, which is actually thistle terrestris. It's just that someone changed the name, and according to legend, in ancient times, an emperor gave birth to a princess, and she cried from birth to fourteen or fifteen years old. The body is thin and small, the face is yellow and burnt, and he gets sick at every turn, although he is a princess, he is riddled with diseases, and he has invited a lot of famous doctors during the period, and how many expensive medicines he has taken still does not help. Soon there was a rebellion in the country, and the emperor fled with his concubine. The princess was separated from the royal family in the chaos and was taken by the servants to a place called Shayuan. At that time, there lived a Taoist priest in Youfang, although he was over 70 years old, he was born with a young face and strong spirits. After the Taoist priest learned about the princess's life history from the servant's mouth, he took them in, and the princess went to the people, and was no longer bound by any palace prohibition and etiquette, and wandered around the wild with the girls all day long, or went to the hillside to pick wild fruits, or went to the beach to find white thistles. In addition to handing over the tribulus terrestris to the Taoist priest for medicinal purposes, the rest is used as tea for himself. The days flew by, and before I knew it, three years had passed. The princess's dry yellow hands became red and chubby, her scorched hair seemed to be dyed with ink, and her original withered face became white, as if she had changed people. Later, when the royal family regained the lost territory, they issued an edict to the world to find the princess. When the princess saw the proclamation, she said goodbye to the Taoist priest with tears. Before leaving, the Taoist priest gave the princess a gourd and told her that it was filled with tribulus terrestris that she had picked on weekdays, and asked her to take it back and take three or five grains a day to make tea. But the princess returned to the capital, and because her father was old, she abdicated and her brother took power. When the royal brother saw that his former sister was now pooping, he asked the reason, and the princess explained in detail the wonderful use of tribulus terrestris. After hearing this, the emperor was suspicious, tried it for half a month, and really felt refreshed, deaf and bright, and his spirit doubled, and he remembered the appearance of the princess when he was a child, and praised the efficacy of this medicine again and again, so he ordered Tribulus terrestris to enter the palace. Over time, people only remember that a kind of herb from Sha Yuanzi has a miraculous effect, and the name has changed from Tribulus terrestris to Sha Yuanzi, and this medicine is warm and astringent, not dry or strong, and it is like a dodder seed with a solid astringency force but it is stronger, and it enters the kidney meridian, and it is good at replenishing the kidney and solidifying the essence and stopping. Entering the liver and meridians is good at nourishing the liver and blood and brightening the eyes, which is why the princess and the princess will have fair skin, and the emperor will be clear when he drinks the ears and eyes.
Everyone was stunned when they heard what Wen Ziqi said just now, everyone used to memorize by rote, so the story explanation is particularly impressive.
Under the incredulous gaze of everyone, Wen Ziqi touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "Let everyone laugh, I forgot for a while that you all know this story like me, and you are showing off, I hope you Haihan." ”
