We followed Meng Chi into the jungle, Meng Chi soon took us on a path, he walked quickly, we followed a little difficult, I have to say, modern people's legs are degraded, if I have Meng Chi so fast walking and running ability, then Liu Xiang Bolt can be counted as nothing, really.

After leaving for about an hour, Gou Er and I were already wet with sweat and kicking and puffing, but Meng Chi did not show any signs of exhaustion.

Meng Chi saw that we were sweating profusely before he stopped to rest for a while, he leaned against a tree and said: "After waking up, Na Tu Mo was furious, saying that even if the Xia Gongzi was an immortal, he would not be fine, and he also said that he himself was the reincarnation of the dragon python, and he wanted to find you, dig your heart and drink your blood, because you ruined his good deeds, the snake king and the chicken snake were so hungry that they even ate a few of his men." I speculate that it was mainly because we released the people they had imprisoned. ”

I held the revolver and said, "Brother Meng, if he comes to the door, I will let him shoot him in the head at a distance of 100 meters from me." ”

Meng Chi said: "Xia Gongzi has miraculous skills, and he has the skill of piercing Yang in a hundred steps. ”

I shook the gun in my hand and said, "My weapon can fire seven bullets in a row, and the bullets will kill us, but we just don't want to kill people indiscriminately." ”

"It's an artifact." After Meng Chi finished speaking, his face suddenly showed joy, I thought he was a psychopath, and for no reason he suddenly showed such a surprised expression.

"Shallot leaf rue!" Meng Chi said and squatted under a tree, protecting a small arbor plant with both hands, "This is the shallot, hahaha, I almost died for it, but now I accidentally encountered it, Xia Gongzi, you are really a lucky star." ”

Shallot leaf rue is the traditional medicine of the people of Nanzhong, small tree, camellia belongs to the camellia family, the flowers are golden yellow, the stamen is particularly luxuriant, it is also called the golden flower tea from the stamen, and the folk is also called "Huangye tea". Shallot leaf rue plants are extremely rare, grow between the mountains and mountains, there are special people who go into the mountains to collect, often empty-handed, and the difficulty of collecting is more than the ancient collection of ginseng, which is really possible to meet but not seek. It is said that shallots have a strong liver-protecting function and are the plants with the strongest liver-protecting function found in the academic community. Regardless of the cause, such as liver damage caused by alcoholism, drug-induced liver injury, hepatitis virus, etc., drinking shallots and rue for about a month can return to normal.

Modern pharmaceutical research has proved that in addition to having the same effect as tropical goldenrod tea, shallot leaf rue also has unique health effects, including detoxification and liver protection, calming the nerves and nourishing the brain, immune regulation, anti-tumor, antibacterial, antiviral and other effects.

In ancient times, in the absence of Western medicine, there were very few medicinal materials that could quickly solve diseases by eating, like this plant, comparable to the elixir of the gods, so the ancient people regarded this medicinal material as something like Tianshan Snow Lotus.

According to legend, when Zhuge Liang conquered Meng in the south, he was instructed by a master to use shallot leaves and rue incense to effectively avoid the miasma in the jungle in Nanzhong.

Meng Chi's speed of collecting medicine was staggering, and he was not a disciple of the Medicine King, and he almost only took a few minutes to pick all the leaves of the small tree, leaving only the green leaves that had just sprouted. Meng Chi still has some medicinal virtues, if you put it in Thirty Miles Town, even the branches will have to be broken and taken away for you.

After collecting the medicine, Meng Chi said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the shallot leaves and rue in this jungle are almost gone, there are some in the mountains behind the Panlong Cave, but most of them grow on the cliffs, there are many people who risk their lives to go into the mountains to collect medicine, but they either fell off the cliff and died or were caught by the Tu Muan, although I have a friendship with him, but since they set the rules, I rarely go to the mountains to collect medicine." Tu Lan once told me that he needed to give him one-third of the herbs to go into the mountains to collect medicines. ”

"This is an abominable murmur!"

"Alas, hundreds of years ago, my medicine king was supposed to save the dead and help the wounded, and often collected medicine in this area, and everyone regarded Panlong Mountain as the garden of medicinal materials of the medicine king, but after the death of the medicine king, his first generation of cave masters occupied the cave, and since then I have rarely sent into the mountain."

Meng Chi told the history of Panlong Mountain while taking us to Yaowang Temple.

It turned out that this jungle used to be a few small hills, but an earthquake hundreds of years ago suddenly turned it into flat land, but Panlong Mountain, which is not far from here, is unharmed. Why is Panlong Mountain called Panlong Mountain, legend has it that in ancient times, there was a giant dragon coiled here, the dragon was lying in the ditch behind the mountain, the legend said that the dragon was recuperating or cultivating behind the mountain, it is said that it will face east, tail to west, tail deep underground, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon, after practicing for thousands of years, turn into a dragon full of red flame and fire and fly into the sky, never to be seen again, but after the dragon flew away, the tail that had been deep into the ground for thousands of years poked a big hole in the ground, and a giant python gushed out of that big hole. Some people say that those pythons used to be small snakes, but they have been pressed under the tail of the dragon for thousands of years, stained with the light of the dragon, and also cultivated into a giant python, called the dragon python, the dragon python was born, drilled into the river, and stirred the river water into black mud every day.

In addition, there is a spring in Panlong Mountain, that is, the spring of Panlong Cave now, the spring water is extremely sweet, it is said that it is the place where the giant dragon head has laid, and the ambergris flows into the ground from there, so the spring water there is extremely magical.

Later, the emperor of the three emperors and five emperors came, he led people to dig a hole in Panlong Mountain, and connected the hole that led to the underground, and built a sculpture of a human-faced snake body at the entrance of the cave, and then those dragon pythons were sealed.

The emperor of the earth is Shennong's clan, he is the ancestor of medicine, after sealing the dragon python, he saw that the forest in Nanzhong was full of rare medicines, so he stayed and continued to taste all the herbs, and when he studied the herbs, he lived in the Panlong Cave.

In the myth, it is said that in the past, there was a giant dragon lying on this Panlong Mountain, and later there was a human ancestor Emperor who lived in the Panlong Cave, so the myth said that this is a place to raise dragons.

This is the origin of Panlong Cave. After talking about the origin of Panlong Cave, we also arrived at Yaowang Temple.

The temple is actually next to a spring in the jungle, the temple is trapezoidal, supported by several stone pillars, and the walls are all made of large stones, but these stones are square, and it is not easy to choose so many such square stones. This is because these stones are naturally formed, not hand-polished.

On a strip of stone above the gate reads: Yakuo Temple.

Walk into the Yaowang Temple, is a hall, the center of the hall is enshrined in the colorful clay sculpture of the medicine king, the medicine king, at a glance will be a strange person, the appearance is clear, live off a peach fairy, holding a cane, there is a medicine gourd hanging on the crutch, I look at the medicine gourd on the clay sculpture to know, he is a real medicine king, you know, in ancient times, this medicine gourd is not hung casually, there are not a few panacea, which doctor dares to hang a medicine gourd on the body, Meng Chi is just a small gourd hanging around his waist, I guess there was no panacea in his gourd, just some everyday pills.

Meng Chi bowed three times and bowed nine times to the medicine king, and after that, a boy with hair came out from behind the clay sculpture and took the cloth bag in Meng Chi's hand, which contained shallot leaves and rue incense.

"Please!" Meng Chi said and took us around the clay sculpture of the Medicine King, walked into the back hall, and then went up a few steps, probably on the second floor of the Medicine King Temple.

There were several straw mats on it, and an incense burner, from which smoke wafted out, and the smell was pleasant.

Dog Er and I sat down on the straw mat, and the boy served tea.

Meng Chi just sat down, suddenly showed a hideous face, and even his facial features were distorted, he suddenly put his hand under the grass mat, frightened and almost let me pull out and snatch it, Meng Chi waved his arm, and suddenly there was a whip about one meter long in his hand, he waved the whip at me, I shouted to be careful, and at the same time pulled out the gun, but the whip snapped and fell heavily on the ground.

"Wangxia Gongzi forgives his sins, in the forest, there are many poisonous snakes, sometimes poisonous snakes will hide under the grass mat, you might as well be bitten by snakes, the light is poisoned and injured, and the heavy is dead." Meng Chi said.

Gou Er looked at the whip on the ground, and it turned out to be a poisonous snake, which had been killed by the blindfold.

"This is a bloody snake, also known as the corrosive lizard, when bitten by it, the nose, mouth, ears, legs, corners of the eyes and even the gums will bleed, and once its venom seeps into the bloodstream, the flesh will melt like snow, or like wax under the scorching sun, and only bones will be left, and even the bones will be eroded and turned into powder." Meng Xuan pulled out a dagger from his waist, cut off the head of the snake that had fallen to death, and threw it into a brazier and lit it.

We have heard of many poisons in Nanzhong, but we imagine that they are just cobras, poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions, poisonous centipedes and the like, and we have never heard of such a horrific thing.

Then Meng Chi said something about the Medicine King, and I also echoed and said some bad things about Qin Shi Huang, Meng Chi trusted me more and more, and he began to talk about the Medicine King's entry into the Panlong Cave.

Through Meng Chi's narration, we know that it turns out that the medicine king entered the Panlong Cave to collect medicine and found the murals in the cave, and then inadvertently found a secret room in the cave, there is an ancient stone box in the secret room, the stone box is like a whole, the medicine king wants to open, but he can't even insert a needle, and later the medicine king found that the stone box is engraved with Fuxi gossip. We all know that most of the ancient medical scientists were proficient in some Fuxi gossip, they emphasized the unity of heaven and man, and the treatment of diseases often started from this, such as the acupuncture points of the human body, which are inextricably linked with Fuxi gossip. The medicine king finally opened the stone box after painstaking research, and there was a parchment scroll book inside, this ancient book was similar to some information about the medicine ancestor and the Yan Emperor Shennong's clan, but this ancient book did not mention the matter of medicine, so much like the Tai Chi gossip of the Fuxi clan.
