Jiang Chong and Lu Ji have been leaving for the Xiongnu for a few days, and in the past few days, Gongsun Yu and Lu Fu have been busy with the affairs of the medical hall, and they go to Dongshi every day to buy medicinal materials, but there are only dozens of medicinal materials when they come together.

What to do? There are not enough medicinal materials, and it is difficult for the hospital to open.

Lu Fu proposed to go out to collect medicines, he said that when he was young, he often followed his uncle and uncle to the mountains to collect medicines, knew a lot of herbs, and also knew some methods of collecting medicines, Gongsun Yu felt that Lu Fu's proposal was very good, he had learned a lot of theoretical things, but he still lacked shortcomings in practice, especially in terms of collecting herbs and concocting herbs, it can be said that there is still a blank, and now with this opportunity, of course, I agree with it, but I don't know where to go to pick herbs, so I asked Lu Fu:

"Brother Lu, I don't see that there are any mountains on the outskirts of Chang'an City to collect medicine, where can we go to collect medicine?"

"Of course, it is not in the suburbs of Chang'an City to collect medicine, there is a mountain called Zhongnan Mountain fifty or sixty miles south of Chang'an City, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the mountains are undulating, gathering the aura between heaven and earth and the wild air of nature, the closest place from Chang'an is called Taiyi Mountain, known as Zhongnan Shenxiu, the mountains are rich in medicinal materials, the mountain shape is steep, the scenery is extremely beautiful, why don't we go there to collect medicine."

"It's really good, it's just that I have never gone into the mountains to collect medicines, and I don't know much about materia medica, Brother Lu, you need to help me and guide me a lot."

"This is no problem, but it will take at least ten days to go this time, so you need to prepare enough dry food, bamboo baskets for collecting medicine, ropes, sickles, pickaxes and other necessities."

"Then let's go to Dongshi to prepare these things, and we'll set off tomorrow."

So Gongsun Yu and Lu Fu set off to buy necessities, because they had to go out for more than ten days to collect medicine in Zhongnan Mountain, Gongsun Yu was afraid that his uncle Gongsun Qing would have something to find him, so he also went to Xiaoyaoju to find Guo Tao and asked him to help bring a message to Zhu Lilun.

Early the next morning, they set off, the east wanted to know, and Mo Daojun left early.

It was late autumn, and although it had not yet snowed, the frost was heavy, and the ground was covered with a layer of silver frost, and the birds were curled up and stood on the bare branches.

Since ancient times, the autumn is sad and lonely, Gongsun Yu can't help but think of this verse in his heart, thinking, that is the inner feelings of the people who are sad in autumn, this should not be the charm of late autumn, late autumn should be the harvest season, think about the first time to go up the mountain to collect medicine, the mood is still very excited.

At about noon, the two of them passed by a village, there was a tea stall at the entrance of the village, Lu Fu felt a little thirsty, so he asked Gongsun Yu: "Brother, we went out early in the morning and walked for two or three hours, otherwise we will rest here, drink tea to quench our thirst, and eat some dry food by the way." ”

"Okay, I'll let Brother Lu arrange it."

The village still looked quite large, but the tea stall was empty except for a man in his forties, who was about forty years old, not tall, with dark skin and wrinkled faces, and at a glance he knew that he was a man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. Seeing Gongsun Yu and the others coming in, he hurriedly greeted: "Two guest officers, please come inside." ”

Lu Fu sat down and asked, "Shopkeeper, what good tea do you have here?" ”

"Guest officer, we have the famous Poria tea here, which is sweet and delicious, moistens the throat and quenches thirst, and calms the nerves."

"Then take a pot out and try it."

"Okay two, wait a minute."

After a while, the man came over with a large pot of tea and two bowls, and asked as he went:

"Guest officer, the tea is here, do you also want to go to see Mao Xian ascending to immortal?"

"Mao Immortal ascends to immortal? Which Mao Immortal? ”

Seeing Lu Fu and Gongsun Yu's blank looks, the man hurriedly explained: "Two guest officers, you don't know yet, our village is called Nanguan Village, and there is a famous immortal in the village, known as Mao Xian. ”

Lu Fu thought for a moment and said, "Mao Xian? Could it be Mao Ying? ”

"Yes, we all call him Mao Xian, this big brother, have you heard of his deeds."

"It's not very clear, and no one has seen it, so I know that he has many disciples, and his deeds are all told by his disciples."

The guy saw that Lu Fu also knew about Mao Ying's past, so he stepped forward and told with relish: "Mao Xian is powerful, their family has been immortals for generations, his great-ancestor is called Mao Meng, he once learned immortal spells in Guiguzi, and then went to Huashan to practice, and finally ascended to immortal by the white dragon in the daytime." ”

Lu Fu also nodded and said, "I seem to have heard that before he ascended to immortal, he said that he would have a great-great-grandson named Mao Ying in the future, and he could inherit his career." ”

"Yes, Mao Meng once chanted a poem before ascending to immortal: The immortal winner Ying Chucheng, driving the dragon to the sky and ascending to Taiqing, now Xuanzhou plays Chicheng, and then goes to my Ying, Emperor Ruoxue's La Jiaping, that is to say, it is Mao Ying who will continue to be his great-grandson in the future."

"Then the one who wants to ascend to immortality today is Mao Ying."

"Yes, Mao Xian he didn't like to talk since he was a child, he was old and old, he ran away from home at the age of eighteen, went to Hengshan to practice, and later worshiped Xicheng Wangjun as a teacher, he has a very high understanding, Wang Jun likes him very much, not only will he pass on what he has learned in his life, but also take him to Guishan to see the Queen Mother of the West, the Queen Mother of the West also appreciates him very much, and preaches to him in person."

Lu Fu was fascinated by what he heard, and when he heard that the Queen Mother of the West had met Mao Ying, he said: "If you can see the Queen Mother of the West, it means that you have become an immortal." ”

"Yes, this big brother, it seems that you are also familiar with the way of immortals."

"There, there, I'm also hearsay, you can keep talking."

The guy continued: "Mao Xian returned to our village after becoming an immortal, at first he said that he became an immortal, but no one believed it, to be honest, I didn't believe it at first, his father was still alive, and when he returned after decades away from home, he was very angry, saying that he was not a filial son, and his two younger brothers were both scholars, both of whom were officials outside, and glorified their ancestors, but he was the only one who did not do his business all day long, was idle, and he was almost fifty years old and had achieved nothing; Until one day, he set up more than a dozen tables of meals at the door of his house, claiming that he was going to feast the gods, saying that many gods were going to come, so we crowded into the open space in front of his house to see, good guys, many immortals, ate more than a dozen tables of food. ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Yu asked curiously, "Then you really saw the immortals?" ”

"We mortals can see the gods with the naked eye, but more than a dozen tables of food, all of a sudden, the gods were eaten so hard that there were only empty bowls and empty plates, and there was nothing."

After hearing this, Gongsun Yu felt very funny, and muttered in his heart: "This is the immortal you see?" It's really an ancient version of the emperor's new clothes. ”

Lu Fu listened to it with relish, and said with a smile: "The gods are still quite able to eat, and they ate it all at once." ”

"Yes, those immortals also made an appointment to come over today and take Mao Immortals to ascend to the heavenly realm together."

Hearing this, Lu Fu couldn't wait to ask, "Have you already ascended to heaven?" ”

"Not yet, it's past noon, and it won't start until it's too late."

"It's almost time, brother, let's hurry up and finish our tea and go over to watch Mao Xian ascend to immortal."

Lu Fu seemed a little anxious, and hurriedly urged Gongsun Yu to finish the tea quickly and go over to join in the fun; The guy said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, two guest officers, it's not too late to wait for Xianle to blow us over, I'm also waiting for Xianle to blow over." ”

"Do you want to play fairy music?"

"Yes, there are a lot of disciples of Mao Xian here today, I heard that his second brother Mao Gu, who was an official in the field, also rushed back, and the formation was very large, and a few days ago he set up a round platform in the open space in front of his house, saying that it was for him to ascend to heaven."

When Lu Fu heard that all the disciples of Mao Xian would come over, he was uneasy, because the kid Guan Sandu, who chased and killed Jiang Chong in Zhao State last time, also claimed to be Mao Ying's disciple, would he come over? Last time, he was injured by Lu Fu, and if he encountered it today, would Guan Sandu ask his fellow disciples to come together to take revenge? But thinking about it again, today is the day when Mao Xian ascends to immortal, he shouldn't dare to mess around, and his martial arts are still okay, if he really encounters Guan Sandu, it will be no problem to protect Gongsun Yu and escape together.

At this time, Xianle began to float, and the tea stall guy said to Lu Fu: "Let's go, two guest officers, let's go and see the ascending immortals." ”
