Chapter 44: The Miracle Medicine is Unfathomable
(Thanks to the reader for the red reward of "Song of Fangfei".) Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
The size of a broken pill soybean, dark gray, with a dull luster, in a small milky white porcelain bottle, Lingji Palace very intimately sent the antidote, the antidote powder, in another small blue porcelain bottle.
"The pill is crushed into powder, mixed with water or mixed with food, be careful, do not take too much of the pill, at most three pills, it can be solved in one day, take two pills, it can be solved in two days, ......"
"Understood, take one pill, and it can be solved in three days, right?" Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
Fan Dajian, who delivered the medicine, shook his head and said solemnly: "If you take one pill, you must take the antidote within six hours, otherwise you may not wake up." ”
"Strange, how can you eat less and the medicine is more effective?"
"The magic medicine is unpredictable, it can't be measured by common sense, and what I just said is the antidote time, if you talk about the efficacy of the medicine, the more the stronger, three pills are already dangerous, one pill lasts too short, so two pills are commonly used."
Hu Guiyang poured all the Breaking Pill in the palm of his hand and checked it, "It's only twelve, two pills at a time, only enough for six times." ”
"It's a lot, Lord Hu......"
"Haha, six times is enough, I don't have so many people to hurt. One more thing, since the Pill is to be ground into powder before taking it, why not just make it into powder, the same as the antidote? ”
"The miracle drug is unpredictable." Fan Dajian said again, "After being crushed into powder, the medicinal effect can only last for an hour, so it is usually preserved with pills." ”
"It's a miracle drug." Hu Guiyang has seen a lot of tricky pills, and Lingji Palace is the most "unpredictable", "Please send it here." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
"There's nothing to give you, I guess you don't care about gold and silver, I'll give you a pill of Breaking Evil."
"No, no, this ...... I have. ”
Hu Guiyang poured the pill back into the bottle, leaving only two pills in his hand, and said like a toast: "Come, you're welcome, you have one, I have one, and you can rest when you sleep." ”
Fan Dajian's face changed, "This, this is not a joke. ”
"Lingji Palace didn't make a lot of jokes about it, right? Otherwise, how could the son of the righteous son say that he would die back then? ”
Fan Dajian was even more embarrassed, and stretched out his hand hesitantly, "If you only take one pill, you must take the antidote within six hours, and Master Hu has to make arrangements in advance." ”
"How much is the antidote?"
"A teacup of clear water, a little powder......"
"How much?"
Fan Dajian had already taken the Breaking Pill in his hand, thought about it, and said resolutely: "I will prepare the antidote, and then I will eat the Breaking Pill alone, and when I fall asleep, Master Hu will remember to feed me the antidote within six hours." ”
"If Lingji Palace wants to harm me, it will never blatantly use the Breaking Pill, so I'm not testing you, I just think you should try your own magic medicine."
"Yes, please prepare water for Lord Hu." Fan Dajian did not defend himself.
"It's in the water pot." Hu Guiyang walked to the door of the front hall and shouted, "Li Bandu!" Lao Li! ”
Li Bandu, the nurse, quickly arrived, hugged his fists and said, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Do me a favor, I will take a nap in the hall with this Taoist master later, you see that after we fall asleep for an hour, feed us the antidote, feed me first."
"Huh? What antidote? Li Bandu was taken aback.
"It's okay, you can't die, just remember to sleep for an hour and then feed the antidote. Fan Zhenren, how to feed it? ”
"It's simple, just pinch your nose and pour it down, one sip at a time, don't choke." Fan Dajian had already mixed a cup of antidote, and when he heard Hu Guiyang insist on taking the Breaking Pill, he mixed another cup, but the end of the medicine was indeed not much, and he only picked out a little bit with his fingernails each time.
Hu Guiyang held up the Breaking Pill in his hand and said boldly: "Old Dao, let's sleep with enmity." ”
Fan Dajian's face was still a little pale, "Okay, sleep...... Hatred. ”
"Let's make it clear first, each sleeps his own."
"When, of course, take the antidote after falling asleep for an hour."
"An hour."
The two of them were about to serve Dan, and Li Bandu hurriedly stepped forward, "Wait, my lord, Dao Ye, what's going on?" ”
"I can't explain it for a while, just remember to pour the antidote, look, there are two glasses of water here, one cup for me and Lao Dao."
Li Bandu was still puzzled, "If there is danger......
Hu Guiyang turned his head and asked Lao Dao, "Will it be dangerous?" ”
"As long as the antidote is fed in time, it is usually fine, and occasionally in case, you can only resign yourself to fate."
Hu Guiyang didn't say much more, put a pill of Broken Evil Pill into his mouth, tilted his neck, and swallowed it.
Fan Dajian also swallowed the pill.
This time, Li Bandu's face turned pale, "My lord, I've only been here for two days, and I don't dare to take on this big responsibility, I'll go to the thirteenth master and let him ......."
"No, it's you, I trust you, what are you worried about?"
Li Bandu looked at Hu Guiyang, and then looked at the two glasses of water on the table, he didn't know what to say, he only felt that this master was weird everywhere.
After waiting for a while, Hu Guiyang asked, "How long does it take to fall asleep?" ”
"If you eat just one pill, you'll fall asleep faster, after about an hour."
"So long? Lao Li, there is a stool over there, you can also sit down, let's talk. ”
Li half-blocked a stool, bypassed the coffin in the middle, and sat down under the master's hanging hands, uneasy.
The three of them really didn't have anything to talk about, Hu Guiyang said: "Lao Li, Brother Thirteen has invited a new chef to prepare the table for him to prepare wine and food, let's wait while eating, and see how his cooking skills are." Lao Dao, can you drink? ”
"If you drink alcohol, the effects of the drug will kick in faster."
"Great, get a big altar."
Li Bandu had no choice, he was a nurse, so he could only follow the master, and he got up and was about to leave, Fan Dajian added: "I drink alcohol, I don't eat meat." ”
"Make a few vegetarian dishes." Hu Guiyang said.
"Okay." Li Bandu went to pass on his life.
The new chef is trying to show his skills, the original storage of rice, noodles and meat dishes in the house, there are no fresh vegetables this season, the chef uses local materials, first sends a few cold dishes, followed by hot dishes, vegetarian dishes are tofu skin, candied fruit and other things.
There was not a jar of wine, but when it was hot, the two pots were brought in turn, and there was no interruption.
The three of them drank around the table, they were a little restrained at first, a few glasses of hot wine in their stomachs, and soon became comfortable, especially the old Fan Dajian, who completely changed a person, his sleeves were rolled up, the chopsticks flew up, the wine glass turned up, and the swear words blurted out, one "Brother Hu" and "Brother Li", there was nothing left of the fairy bearing, more like a hero who had reunited after a long absence.
But he did not eat meat, only vegetarian dishes.
"Brother Hu, I don't lie to you, the Breaking Pill is really a miracle medicine, and the sweat medicine on the rivers and lakes can't be compared at all. And don't be too little, Lingji Palace can only make more than 100 grains a year, and give you twelve grains at once. Fan Dajian cursed a dirty word and took a bite of vegetables.
Hu Guiyang was slightly drunk, dismissive of the swear words, and said with a smile: "So I want to give you a pill, and the right to be a kickback." ”
Fan Dajian slapped the table and scolded again, "Count me unlucky, it was me who apologized in the morning, and I was the one who delivered the medicine in the evening, and others didn't want to come or dare to come." Fortunately, Brother Hu is refreshing enough and does not hold grudges. Come, I'll toast you again, everyone will be friends in the future, find me if you have something, there is more than one kind of magic medicine in Lingji Palace. ”
"Since we are friends, you tell me the truth, did you steal my father's body?"
Fan Dajian was not drunk enough to say anything, "Hehe, hundreds of mouthfuls up and down the Lingji Palace, I can't know everything about who did what, but I think the body is a trivial matter, as long as Brother Hu can find out the truth about the demon fox, the body will naturally come back." ”
"By then, it's only a bone, right?"
"No, we have a miracle medicine...... I mean, no matter who owns the body, it will be properly preserved. ”
The two pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and Li Bandu, who was sitting with them, did not dare to indulge in indulgence, and a glass of wine could be drunk for a while.
Fan Dajian's face turned red, and he raised his glass and asked, "Brother Hu, how old do you guess I am?" ”
"Thirty up......"
Fan Dajian sneered disdainfully, "Look down on me? ”
"Eighty down." Hu Guiyang added.
"Ha, it's not a secret, it's just seventy-one this year."
Although Hu Guiyang guessed "eighty down", he was still very surprised when he heard that Lao Dao was seventy-one, and Li Bandu was even more admiring, "The real person has such a long life, I really can't see it at all." ”
Although Fan Dajian's hair was white, there were no wrinkles on his face, and he said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the magic medicine of Lingji Palace." ”
"Dedicate the magic medicine to the emperor, won't the Lingji Palace be developed?" Hu Guiyang didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it, he just chatted.
"It's not enough to have magic medicine, you have to cultivate diligently, ordinary people can't stand this kind of suffering, let alone the Ninety-Five Supreme. However, we do often go to the palace to offer magic medicines, and the emperor likes it, and the two of you will definitely like it too. Fan Dajian's smile was both mysterious and ambiguous.
Li Bandu has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and he understands it as soon as he says it, and he buries himself in eating, but Hu Guiyang smiled and said: "The emperor also wants to break the evil pill?" ”
"Of course not, I heard that Brother Hu is newly married to a wife, but he can use it."
Hu Guiyang also understood, and laughed: "Why don't you go to the alley of the courtyard?" Business must be too good to be true. ”
"The magic medicine is difficult to make, how can it be sold to the laity?"
"Isn't the old way pure-hearted and lacking desires? How could such a miracle drug be created? ”
"Pharmacology is the same, as long as there is the blessing of divine power, what you wish will come true."
Hu Guiyang suddenly put away his smile, "If you offer medicine to the palace, won't the eunuchs be very annoyed?" ”
Fan Dajian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "That's why they want the descendant soup." ”
"Lingji Palace has created these magic medicines, and it will harm a lot of people, right?" Hu Guiyang asked.
Li Bandu lowered his head, but Fan Dajian didn't care, "Heaven and earth are a furnace, everything is a dog, flowers and trees can be used for medicine, birds, beasts, insects and fish can be used for medicine, even gold, stone and sand can be used for medicine, not to mention people?" Brother Hu, look at it a little, people are honorable and lowly, once you will become famous, you still have to have ten thousand bones, ten cheap lives for one noble life, do you say it's worth it? ”
"I have to know whether my life is expensive or cheap."
"Hehe, the noble and the lowly are not destined, Lord Hu's life was ...... in the past It's one thing, it's another thing now, your life is very expensive, it's very expensive. Fan Dajian's eyes lit up, and what he saw seemed to be not a living person, but a priceless miracle medicine.
Hu Guiyang pretended not to see it, "Ten cheap lives can create a miracle medicine, so wouldn't ten noble lives be able to directly create a god?" ”
Fan Dajian laughed and did not answer.
Hu Guiyang yawned, "Sleepy, sleepy, is this the effect of the drug?" ”
Fan Dajian was also a little sleepy-eyed, "It's almost, is Brother Hu going to sleep in bed, or ......?"
"Just lie down on the table for a while. Lao Li, remember an hour. ”
"Yes, sir."
Hu Guiyang pushed away the wine glass on the table and fell asleep with his arms on his pillow.
Fan Dajian waited for a while and said in a low voice: "The world is a medicine tripod, either making medicine or being made medicine." "After that, I fell asleep on my pillow.
Only Li Bandu remained awake, put down his wine glass, sat for a while, got up and walked to the door, and looked outside.
The moonlight was like water, and the courtyard was quiet.
Li Bandu suddenly felt a little strange, he obviously arranged a night patrol in the nursing home, why didn't he even see a figure?
