Chapter 188: Retrieving the Herbs
I saw thin thread-like insects wriggling on the red leaves of the Xuanyan Sun Grass, a bit like the earthworms she usually saw, but they were many times smaller than earthworms. The most important thing is that these earthworm-like things are red all over, and she was lying on the Xuanyan Sun Grass just now, and she didn't notice anything wrong at all.
"Scared my aunt to death?" Yan Zixi was angry in her heart at this time, and she was also a little afraid, what kind of herb paradise is there here! It's clearly a poisonous insect hell.
Although Yan Zixi was smeared with insect repellent powder, and those poisonous insects couldn't help it, Yan Zixi still had a fear in her heart, and at this moment, she actually began to retreat.
"Let's retreat for the time being!" Yan Zixi thought about it, "Anyway, it's not very well prepared this time, wait for the next time it's well prepared, let Jing Cong come over with you......" Yan Zixi seemed to find a good reason for herself, and then prepared to leave here with a thought.
But soon, she was stunned, is she really good like this? Is she really unable to pick it, or does she not want to? Yan Zixi hesitated for a while, she looked at the herbs in front of her, and thought that if she couldn't cure the concubine, she would have to punish all the people in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and finally sighed, Yan Zixi continued to approach the scorching sun grass.
"Bang Bang ......."
Slowly approaching, Yan Zixi only saw countless red lines quickly come into view, and then quickly fell to the bottom of the cliff. "It works!" Yan Zixi was overjoyed, she wanted to seize this herb just now, relying on the inspiration obtained from the collision of the strange insect just now.
As time passed, those weird bugs continued to collide, but Yan Zixi could feel that those weird bugs were obviously gradually decreasing, and the density was slowly decreasing. Finally, five minutes later, not a single strange bug had rushed up.
Seeing this, Yan Zixi breathed a sigh of relief, and what caught her eye was a more beautiful and dazzling herb, Yan Zixi had a feeling that this herb might have amazing effects.
Yan Zixi no longer hesitated, a pair of white palms approached, she pinched the rhizome of Xuanyan Lie Yang Qing with one hand, and pressed it with the other hand, as soon as she used force, the herb seemed to be broken and fell into her hand. Yan Zixi looked at the herbs on her palm, sighed, and put a thought directly into her sleeve pocket.
There was still a small section of rhizome left on the cliff wall, Yan Zixi didn't rush to kill it all, she hoped to leave a seed and wait until some time to reappear again, even if it might be a long time.
Yan Zixi looked at the cliff shrouded in a poisonous miasma, the scene just now was really thrilling, but she also gained a lot because of this, she decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and now that she is brave, she will go to find a few more herbs.
Back on the cliff, Yan Zixi's face was pale, but her expression was irrepressibly happy, only God and herself knew how big her harvest was, although she had suffered an accident without any listing, but she was very good at saving the day.
"What's under the cliff?" A few wisps of doubt appeared on Yan Zixi's face, just now, when she wanted to descend to the bottom of the cliff, for some reason, she suddenly felt entangled in her heart, as if something bad would happen if she continued like this.
Yan Zixi believes in her feelings very much, and people regard her as their sixth sense, but after Yan Zixi has experienced so many things, she has begun to subvert some of the existing worldviews, and maybe there are more unknown secrets in this world.
Don't think about it anymore, what you have to do now is to quickly join up with Xiao Jingcong and Dean Wu.
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi turned around and walked in the direction he was coming from.
After walking for a short time, he saw Xiao Jingcong walking towards him, and Yan Zixi hurriedly waved his hand at him and shouted his name.
"Jing Cong, Jing Cong, I'm here!"
Yan Zixi greeted Xiao Jingcong, Xiao Jingcong hurriedly ran over when she heard this, and asked worriedly.
"Xi'er, how are you, you haven't encountered any danger, have you?!"
"Haha, Jingcong, what danger can I encounter? Don't look at who I am? Not only did I not encounter any danger, but I also found this! ”
Yan Zixi said as she took out the Xuanyan Sun Grass she had just collected from the edge of the cliff from her sleeve pocket.
Xiao Jingcong noticed the fiery red herb in Yan Zixi's hand, which was exuding a refreshing medicinal fragrance at the moment, and Xiao Jingcong couldn't help but marvel.
"Xi'er, is this the Xuanyan Blazing Sun Grass we are looking for?"
"Uh-huh!" Yan Zixi nodded proudly, "How is it, I'm amazing, right?!" Praise me! ”
"Xi'er, it's really yours!" Xiao Jingcong sighed in admiration and gave Yan Zixi a thumbs up.
Of course, Yan Zixi happily accepted it.
"Okay, now that the Xuanyan Sun Grass has also been picked, let's hurry up and meet Dean Wu, and then leave here together and go back to the capital!" Yan Zixi smiled again and proposed to Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong nodded, asked Yan Zixi to put away the Xuanyan Sun Grass, and then helped Yan Zixi to walk towards the cliff together.
As the two walked, they called Dean Wu, and after a while, Dean Wu, who heard the shout, also walked towards them.
From a distance, Dean Wu saw Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi, and shouted at them, "Lord Xiao, Princess Xiao, have you found that Xuanyan Sun Grass?" ”127
"Well, yes, Dean Wu, I have already picked the Xuanyan Burning Sun Grass, and we can go back now." Yan Zixi deliberately swaggered and said.
When Dean Wu heard this, he was also full of praise for Yan Zixi, "That's really good!" It's still Princess Xiao who is so powerful, she actually found the Xuanyan Burning Sun Grass in such a short time, which really made Wu admire it a lot! ”
"Oh, Dean Wu, don't praise me, if you praise me again, my tail will go up to the sky." Yan Zixi grinned, amusing both Xiao Jingcong and Dean Wu.
The three of them stopped and walked down the mountain.
Returning to the entrance of the Medicine King Valley, getting into the carriage again, Xiao Jingcong and the three of them rushed to the capital.
Yan Zixi sat in the carriage and took out the "Hundred Pharmacopoeia" and studied it carefully.
"Hundred Pharmacopoeia" came out of Yan Zixi's hand, she looked at the slightly yellowed book cover, on which were written the three big characters of "Hundred Pharmacopoeia", which looked simple and heavy.
Yan Zixi was worried not because she couldn't find what she wanted in the book, but because she found the part of knowledge she wanted, but she didn't understand what she should do.
In the chapter of the "Hundred Pharmacopoeia" Danfang, the refining method of "Xuanyang Dan" is described in detail, and the medicinal effect of "Xuanyang Dan" is introduced as dispelling cold poison and correcting the mind.
Yan Zixi thinks that this medicine must treat the cold poison of Concubine Shu, otherwise, this medicine will not live up to its name.
Now that the method has been found, the collection of medicinal materials has been completed, but there is a certain degree of difficulty in refining this "Xuanyang Pill", and the main difficulty is that Yan Zixi has no experience in alchemy.
She doesn't have a Dan furnace, so she doesn't have to use the casserole at home to refine the Dan, so it's strange that it can have an effect.
The "Hundred Pharmacopoeia" says: Collect enough herbs, smelt them at high temperatures, make them into a liquid medicine, mix the various ingredients evenly, and then condense. After three days, the liquid will automatically form a circle.
At this time, it was simmered and continuously refined for three days to volatilize all the unfavorable components in the medicine group. After the medicine ball has shrunk to the size of a fist, add the main Xuanyan Sun Grass. At this time, refine for another day, Dancheng.
……
When I returned to the capital, it was already night, but Yan Zixi didn't plan to rest like this, after all, time was in a hurry, and there was no free time for them to waste now.
Yan Zixi found Dean Wu and asked, "Dean Wu, I don't know if you have a Dan furnace for alchemy?" ”
"What, this Xuanyan Flame Grass still has a special refining pill?" Dean Wu hadn't read the "Hundred Pharmacopoeia", so he didn't know how to record the use of Xuanyan Lieyang Grass.
Yan Zixi nodded, and then informed Dean Wu of the refining method of Xuanyan Blazing Sun Grass.
After hearing this, Dean Wu also frowned slightly.
"Princess Xiao, let's do it, tomorrow you come to the Tai Hospital, and then I will let people prepare the Dan furnace for refining medicine in the hospital, what do you think?" Dean Wu asked tentatively.
After hearing this, Yan Zixi thought about it and could only do this, no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't practice the pill all at once, so she could only agree with what Dean Wu said.
"Okay then, I'll go to the palace tomorrow to look for you in the Tai Hospital."
"Okay, since that's the case, Wu will retire first, Princess Xiao has been working hard for a day, so let's rest early!" Saying that, Dean Wu saluted Yan Zixi, and then got into the carriage in the palace and went back to the Tai Hospital.
After Dean Wu left, Xiao Jingcong pulled Yan Zixi to the bedroom.
"Jingcong, why are you pulling me into the room in such a hurry?" Yan Zixi didn't quite understand what Xiao Jingcong wanted to do, and as soon as she entered the door of the bedroom, Yan Zixi was stunned.
I saw that Xiao Jingcong had already prepared a basin of hot foot-washing water for Yan Zixi, and was pulling Yan Zixi to sit down at the moment.
Xiao Jingcong squatted on the ground and helped Yan Zixi take off her shoes and socks.
Yan Zixi saw that Xiao Jingcong was about to take off her shoes and socks, so she hurriedly retracted her feet and asked in surprise: "Jingcong...... You...... What are you doing here? ”
"Xi'er, don't move, I'll wash your feet for my husband! You've been running all day, soak your feet in hot water to relieve your fatigue. Xiao Jingcong didn't know where to see the knowledge, so he said to Yan Zixi in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Stop, stop!"
Yan Zixi hurriedly stopped Xiao Jingcong, "Jingcong, let's do it myself......"
