Chapter 5 The opportunity has been revealed

Ling Haoran was also curious, could this really be able to pick it up casually and say that he was ugly? also nodded and said, "Okay, since Senior Brother Wen is not hesitant to give advice, the younger brother should listen to him!" ”

Wen Ziqi saw that Ling Haoran said this, and it was not good to stop here, so he said: "The name of this medicine, cinnamon, is actually the dried bark of the camphor tree, which is sweet and hot, and pure yang is warm and dissipated. Into the heart meridian, liver meridian, good at dispersing blood to divide the cold and warm meridians, commonly used for the treatment of cold and blood stasis. Entering the kidney meridian, it is good at warming and replenishing the fire of the life gate and benefiting the yang and eliminating the yin, and returning the fire to the original, which is the key medicine for the treatment of the deficiency and coldness of the yuan and the floating of the void yang. Entering the spleen meridian, it is good at warming the spleen and yang, dispersing cold and evil, and is a good product for curing yang deficiency and cold. Saying this, he looked at Ling Haoran.

Ling Haoran saw him looking at him and hurriedly smiled and said, "There shouldn't be any problem with my kidney, you should continue to say if there is an allusion!" “

Wen Ziqi shook his head with a smile and continued: "As for the source of the allusion you said you want to hear, it is said that there was a landlord a long time ago, who has always been arrogant and domineering, and often deceives the local people on weekdays. This mountain is high and deep, and there are many precious medicinal materials and wild animals on the mountain. ”

Ling Haoran sighed when he heard this, and said with a sneer: "Everywhere there are dog officials who oppress the people!" ”

Wen Ziqi nodded and said: "That's natural, after all, does the official have two mouths, just now I said that the government ignores it, and then the landlord even intensified and even hired some scoundrels to patrol the mountains every day to drive away the people who went into the mountains to collect medicine and hunt." After a long time, the common people even prayed to God to punish this black-hearted landlord. One year, the climate was dry, and the crops in the fields were not watered, and the farmers did not harvest the crops. In the past, even if the crops in the field were not harvested, they could go up the mountain to pick some herbs and sell them to the medical center. No matter how bad it is, you can hunt some prey to make a living. Now the black-hearted landlord has sealed the mountain, which is the last way for the people to live, and even if they sue the government, no one cares. For a while, people all cursed the black-hearted landlords, and this year it was extremely dry, not to mention that the crops in the fields were watered without water, and even the daily drinking water of the common people became a big problem, and they had no choice but to go to the river a few miles away every day to fetch water to drink, which made the local people suffer. ”

Ling Haoran was even more indignant when he heard this, and threw away the herbs in his hand casually and scolded: "Such a dog official should be punished!" ”

Wen Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I don't know if it is retribution, but in the story, the landlord has a daughter, Fang Ling, sixteen years old, I don't know why I have a strange disease, there are always a few days a month when the face is pale, the stomach pain is unbearable, the local people curse the landlord to the ears of the landlord, and then look at their daughter's disease, I think it is these people who curse and let the daughter suffer from the disaster." So they sent more men to patrol day and night, but everyone who came near the foot of the mountain was to be driven away. On my side, I asked the wizard to do a few rituals, but I couldn't solve the problem. So he went into the mountain to worship God, hoping to bless his daughter from being plagued by illness. ”

Ling Haoran looked at Wen Ziqi and snorted coldly and said, "I'm not retribution yet, what is this?" ”

Wen Ziqi said angrily: "Okay, even if this is retribution, do you still want to listen to interrupting me?" ”

I saw Ling Haoran say with a smile on his face: "Listen to it, I won't interrupt you!" ”

Wen Ziqi glanced at Ling Haoran and continued: "On this day, the landlord was burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the mountains, and suddenly a young man came in the distance. The mountain guard team stepped forward and grabbed the young man and said, "Dare to carry a basket on your back to my master's territory to pick, see that I don't break your legs?" The boy laughed and said, "Of course I'm afraid that the old man will break my legs!" However, last night the Medicine King Bodhisattva gave me a dream, saying that the young lady had a strange disease, but because of the sincerity of the old man, he sent me to tell you that there is a herb on this mountain that can cure the young lady's disease. But there is one condition, if I cure the young lady's illness, you must lift the ban on the closure of the mountain, so that the people in the vicinity can go up to the mountain to collect medicine and hunt. ”

The landlord had always been in awe of God, so he asked the young medicine king Bodhisattva what he said. The boy said, "There is a bush on the top of this mountain, and in the bush there is a deer guarding a well. Yaowang Bodhisattva said that the first water of this well must be drunk by the landlord first, and after drinking, a diversion canal should be dug so that the people under the mountain can also come to drink, so as to relieve half of the young lady's pain. In addition, there is a tree in the mountains that exudes a fragrance from the branches to the leaves, and the bark of this tree is boiled into soup or ground into powder from the well water pumped out of the mountain for the lady to drink, and the lady's illness can be cured. ”

The landlord was suspicious, so he decided to go up the mountain with the boy. When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw a deer in a lush grass, so he asked someone to dig a well quickly, and a clear spring gushed out, and the landlord quickly scooped a mouthful to taste, and the spring water was clear, so he ordered his men to continue digging, so that the spring water flowed down the mountain, and the young man instructed the landlord to let the landlord's men help cut the bark of the scented tree, and boiled water with part of the bark for the lady to drink, and at the same time dried part of the skin, ground it into powder for the lady to swallow. It didn't take long for the young lady's illness to heal.

The landlord also kept his promise and let the people in the vicinity go to the mountains to hunt and collect medicine. People called the well the deer well, and the bark used to heal the young lady was called cinnamon. Women's sixteen days of sunflower to, the landlord's daughter because of the cold blood stasis so the abdominal pain is unbearable, cinnamon has the effect of dispersing cold, curing cold and blood stasis, so it can be cured.

Ling Haoran saw that Wen Ziqi was really able to say it concisely and clearly without thinking about picking up a herb casually, and a kind of joy spontaneously arose in his heart. said on his lips: "I have no chance of winning in the same competition with you, so I don't know if several other states and counties also recommend people like you?" ”

Wen Ziqi asked while fiddling with the box of cinnamon in front of him, "Did the personnel settle down so early?" Isn't there still a year left in time? ”

Ling Haoran climbed up the escalator next to him to the second floor and sorted out the box of herbs in front of him, and said matter-of-factly: "According to the people who participated in the big competition in the past, most of them were accepted as disciples by the hall masters before being recommended, and on the other hand, the hall master disciples are generally preliminary candidates to participate in the big competition. This hall master's disciple is not secret, as long as you investigate casually, you can understand it all, maybe everything about you and me has already spread in Yichun Hall in several other states! ”

Wen Ziqi asked in surprise: "Then it's not a good thing to be accepted as a disciple prematurely?" ”

Ling Haoran stopped what he was doing, glanced at Wen Ziqi and said coldly: "In fact, it's the same everywhere, if it's settled too early, it will only attract the envy of others, you and I are the best example now, then there is a good thing to say." If it weren't for the superior strength, it would not have happened that Dabi was replaced. Each of the 24 counties in eight states has three places, and the final number of participants is nearly 100. But all forces in the country want to intervene. There are many talented scholars among them, but there are also many people with strong backgrounds. So a disciple is not necessarily a candidate, but it can be used as a basis. If the strength is not enough, it is inevitable that they will be replaced in the end. “

Wen Ziqi nodded silently when he heard this analysis, the law of nature is prey on the strong, not to mention that he is a person with no background, if you want Zhu Zhilian to withstand the pressure from all parties and fully support him, he must be allowed to see that he has enough strength to crush everyone. This needed an opportunity, and just now he had looked at all the herbs here, and found that this opportunity was still there, and it would have been difficult to find this fatal mistake if it had not been for the resurgence of the herbs caused by the rain for several days. If you tell the hall master about this, it is estimated that not only will you be able to stand tall, but you may also be able to move to this powerful steward in the past, so as to avenge the revenge a few days ago. Originally, many similar-looking herbs were difficult to distinguish, let alone in the dim candlelight of the room, which was extremely error-prone.

Ling Haoran saw that Wen Ziqi didn't speak, but just looked at the things in his two hands carefully, so he climbed down the escalator and walked over and said, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong with this medicine?" Why don't you tell me more about it? ”

The corners of Wen Ziqi's mouth turned up slightly and said: "Let's not tell the story for the time being, today you and I are here to concentrate on work, such a large warehouse is naturally impossible to complete, but we can't leave the warehouse until dinner, if you believe me, tomorrow the hall master comes back, I will give you a great benefit." As for the benefits, it's inconvenient now that the wall has ears, and I'll talk to you and you in the evening. "Say it, throw the things in your hand back into the basket, bury your head and continue to sort out the other herbs. Seeing this, Ling Haoran stopped talking, turned around and walked to the other side, and also sorted it out seriously.
