Only then did Hui Neng pour the Chinese herbs in the basket on the ground of the courtyard, and introduced the names and medicinal effects of those mountain herbs to everyone one by one. There are Cnidium monnieri, Atractylodes, calamus, double flower, cork, Angelica dahurica, etc., as well as cicadas that can evacuate wind and heat, dispel wind and relieve itching.

Liang Chibin was a little skeptical and asked, "Brother Aneng, can these mountain herbs cure your mother's skin disease?" ”

"There should be no problem!" Huineng's tone was very sure, "My mother's skin disease is caused by heat poison and blood stasis, which should be dealt with with mountain herbs that cool blood and dispel blood stasis, dispel wind and relieve itching." Although there are many medicines collected today, it is a pity that one of the main mountain herbs has not been collected. ”

Liang Chibin asked, "Brother Aneng, what major mountain herbs are still missing?" ”

Huineng: "Sophora." Sophora sophora can be used to clear away heat and dampness, detoxify fever and diarrhea, and treat itchy skin. To cure my mother's illness, this main medicine is indispensable. ”

Liang Chibin: "The bitter ginseng you mentioned, will we have it in Tianlu Mountain?" ”

Huineng: "When I carried your father up the mountain, I had already carefully inspected it, and there were many mountain herbs on the way, but there was no bitter ginseng. I haven't been anywhere I have been today and I don't see sophora ginseng. ”

Liang Chibin: "Where did the bitter participants grow?" ”

Huineng described: "It is commonly found in the protrusion of the stone crevices of the cliffs, where it has experienced a lot of wind, frost, sunshine and rain, so the best medicinal effect is when it is picked there." ”

"Cliffs?" Liang Chibin said casually, "I know that there is a steep cliff in the mountain, and there are a lot of flowers and plants growing on it, I wonder if there is any bitter ginseng you want to pick." ”

Huineng: "It's getting late now, you can take me to the cliff tomorrow." That's going to be hard for you. ”

Liang Chibin pretended to be unhappy: "Brother Aneng, you saved my father's life, and I haven't had a chance to repay it yet." You're being polite to me this time?! ”

Huineng stepped forward and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow." ”

The next day, the sun rises in the east, the morning glow is full of sky, and Tianlu Mountain is bathed in the morning sun, and the scenery is particularly charming.

On the magnolia tree in the courtyard of Liang Diqing's house, pairs of birds are jumping happily and singing.

Facing the morning breeze, Liang Chibin took Huineng to turn left and right in the mountain, climbed the two of them covered in sweat, and finally came to the edge of a cliff.

Huineng stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, under the cliff was an abyss, surrounded by clouds and fog; Looking to the opposite side, the purple stone walls are as steep as knives, and there are occasional small trees and unknown grasses around the protruding rocks.

Huineng searched for a while, and finally found something, and shouted loudly: "Yo, there are a few Sophora ginseng plants on the cliff over there." ”

Liang Chibin: "Where is Sophora ginseng on the other side?" ”

Huineng stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite cliff: "Yo, there it is." ”

Liang Chibin followed Huineng's hope, and the stone wall opposite was extremely steep, and there was a goshawk circling. He opened his eyes wide and searched left and right, but he couldn't find it, and muttered, "Where is the bitter ginseng on the cliff over there?" ”

Hui Neng saw that Liang Chibin still hadn't found the bitter ginseng, so he put his hand on his cheek and pointed forward: "There is an old pine tree above the eagle's nest over there, and about two feet away from it, there are several small trees that grow densely with clusters of yellow-white flowers. ”

After such a detailed prompt, Liang Chibin put a small shade under the corner of his forehead, blinked vigorously, looked at it intently, and then made a discovery, nodded and said: "Ah, I see, the small tree with a bunch of yellow and white flowers is next to the protruding rock opposite." ”

Huineng nodded: "Yes." ”

The two monkeys, Ah Zuo and Ah You, were playing in the mountains, and when they heard the sound, they came here and walked around Huineng and Liang Chibin.

Liang Chibin's eyes scanned the cliff over there, and his face was solemn: "Brother Aneng, do you have any way to pick the bitter ginseng from the cliff over there?" It must be known that this cliff once fell to the death of several people who collected medicine. ”

Huineng: "Don't scare me. ”

Liang Chibin: "I'm telling the truth. Last year, I fell to death a medicine picker from other places. He's about my age, and he's a well-known climber. ”

Huineng gently stroked the monkey Ah Zuo's brain melon and said to Liang Chibin: "The monkey is the most agile animal in the mountain, and he is a master at climbing trees, do you think Ah Zuo and Ah You can help?" ”

Liang Chibin waved his hand: "They are also powerless. ”

Huineng was skeptical: "No. ”

Liang Chibin swallowed and said, "At the bottom of that cliff, someone also found that the monkey had fallen to death. ”

Huineng was shocked: "Ah, even monkeys who are good at climbing rocks and crossing streams will fall to their deaths, and the cliffs are indeed steep!" ”

Liang Chibin: "Brother Aneng, let's go find it somewhere else." ”

"No," Huineng said confidently after looking around at the terrain and scenery, "there is nothing to fear in front of me, and the cure of my mother's illness is inseparable from the bitter ginseng." ”

Liang Chibin: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

From Huineng's loud answer, it can be seen that he is firmly determined: "All kindness and filial piety in the world come first, and the grace of parenting is greater than the sky." Now that my mother is sick, no matter how much risk I take, I have to go over there to collect this mountain herb! ”

"This ......," Liang Chibin was moved, "It's good to be determined, but you have to face up to the problems you face!" Look at the rocks on the cliff over there, if you climb it with your hands, maybe it will fall down and hurt your brain. ”

Huineng laughed: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." There is a way, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. As long as you judge the situation, consider carefully, and do not act recklessly, you can avoid risks. ”

Liang Chibin pointed to the cliff over there and said, "Look, there is no path to go down on that cliff, and there is no path next to it. The risk is obvious! ”

Huineng: "Since there is no path on the side and no path next to it, then, I can fly over!" ”

Liang Chibin: "Fly over?" Can you grow wings right away? ”

"Why do you have to have wings?! That's it. Huineng pointed to the old kudzu vine hanging from the big tree not far away.

The diameter of this long kudzu vine is about an inch thick, and the brown-black bark is very rough, covered with large and small pimples, and it can be inferred that this is an old kudzu vine that has grown for more than 100 years.

Liang Chibin looked at the vigorous old kudzu vine, comparing the distance between this side and the cliff there, he was also from the mountains, understood what Huineng was referring to, and said, "You want to rely on this old kudzu vine to fly over." ”

Huineng nodded: "Exactly." ”

The muscles on Liang Chibin's face trembled, and he was quite worried: "It's too dangerous to fly over like this." ”

"Life is full of adventures." Huineng's expression was calm, and his voice was full of certainty, "When I went up the mountain to collect medicine before, I also climbed vines and flew over some cliffs, but I came and went freely. I have seen this cliff in front of me, and I believe that I can fly over it. You don't have to worry about me. ”

Liang Chibin saw that Huineng's determination was so great and so calm, his tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and he advised: "Brother Aneng, you have to be extra careful. ”

"Got it." Hui Neng said, pulled the bamboo basket for picking medicine on his back, walked to the old kudzu vine, held the old kudzu vine, pulled it back vigorously, confirmed that it was stable, took a few steps back, and then accelerated forward, when he ran to the edge of the cliff, he squatted down, bent his feet slightly, kicked suddenly, and shouted: "Go!" ”

Huineng's body holding the old kudzu vine drew a beautiful arc in the air, flying towards the opposite cliff, and when he was about to reach the cliff, his right foot stretched forward, and hooked the old pine that grew out of the gap in the cliff, and his body was fixed on that side.

Liang Chibin was stunned by this thrilling shot, his heart was beating violently, like a deer crashing, and he couldn't help but shout: "Yo! After calming down, he put his hands together into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly to Huineng on the other side of the cliff: "Brother Aneng, you must pay attention to safety!" ”

"Got it, don't worry!" Huineng responded, hooked the old pine tree with his foot, leaned forward, put it under the rock pine, and then tied the old kudzu vine to the rock pine, and then reached over and grabbed the protruding rock, pulled his body high, climbed up more than a zhang, and stretched out his hand to pick the bitter ginseng.

His body was still several feet away from the sophora, and Hui Neng leaned out and compared it several times, and finally grabbed the sophora, pulled it back, and finally pulled it back.

Huineng then used a sickle inserted in his belt to cut off a large section of the sophora plant, and then threw the sophora to the bamboo basket he was carrying with his backhand.

Liang Chibin, who was watching here, saw that Huineng had finally picked Sophora ginseng after several difficulties, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
