Chapter 56: Braiding Medicine
"Xiqiang, Shi Song'er, Turpentine, Water Leek, Red Shengjun, Gong Lilac, Ground Grass, Octagonal Maple ......" Cha Xiaodao moved the pen like flying, and wrote most of the brushes, and was about to write down the last Shi Zelan, but suddenly stopped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Put the pen on the white paper, reach out and take the most delicious herb in your hand, and study it carefully.
The grayish-brown stem is cylindrical, wrinkled on the epidermis, about three millimeters long, with tiny serrations on the grass-green leaf surface and yellow-green on the back.
Buckle a small green leaf with your fingertips, pinch it in your hand, send it to the tip of your nose, sniff it vigorously, the faint smell enters your nose, and then stuffs it into your mouth, and the taste buds come with a sweet taste.
Sure enough, Zha Xiaodao no longer hesitated, picked up the pen and wrote the three words stone spider plant on the paper!
After all the ten medicinal materials were written, Cha Xiaodao looked up at this time, and saw that many people on the four sides had already handed in the answers, and he did not hesitate, stood up and handed the answer sheet to Hall Master Zhao, who was inspecting.
"Done?" Hall Master Zhao first smiled at Cha Xiao Dao, and then swept his gaze over the exam papers, and after seeing the three words of Shi Spider Orchid at the end, his brow furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Cha Xiao Dao meaningfully, and secretly thought in his heart, "It seems that although he has a talent in alchemy, the heat is still not enough." ā
After receiving a few more exam papers, he handed them over to the White Hall Master.
After waiting in their seats for five minutes, everyone finally finished answering the papers, although there were many exam papers for the ninety-seventh person, it looked simple, and after ten minutes or so, Elder Bai had finished reading all the exam papers.
"Not bad, not bad!" Elder Bai sat on the high platform with his hands in his hands, and nodded with satisfaction, "The medicinal materials selected this time are all common and basic medicinal materials, in order to test your memory ability, there are twenty-three people who answered all correctly this time, and now the rankings will be announced as follows." ā
"First place: Yang Huo, ten out of ten, thirty-eight seconds."
"Second place: Zhang Tengfei, ten out of ten, forty-three seconds."
ā¦ā¦
"Nineteenth place: Cao Miao, ten out of ten, one minute and fifty-nine seconds."
The names were read out one by one, and everyone on the field had different expressions, either excited or frustrated, only Cha Xiaodao frowned.
And Wang Duan on the side also looked at Cha Xiaodao standing in the crowd in surprise, there were one hundred and seven people who participated in the second round of braiding, but only eighteen people were selected according to their results to enter the final competition, and now they all read nineteen, and they didn't see Cha Xiaodao's name.
"Fortieth place: Check the knife, nine out of ten, one minute and seventeen seconds."
"Forty?" Hearing this, Wang Duan almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he originally regarded Cha Xiaodao as his henchman, but it seemed that it was nothing more than that. If given time, he would be confident enough to hand in a correct answer in 30 seconds.
"Ninety-seventh, Duan Han, seven out of ten, nine minutes and thirteen seconds." Elder Bai Gujing Wubo finished reading everyone's rankings, and then said: "The top thirteen in this braided medicine score can all participate in the alchemy competition three days later, Dabi brings its own medicinal herbs, in addition to the master of the main sect, there will also be a mysterious senior who will participate." ā
"Wang Xuan, report the correct answer."
Wang Duan answered, strode out of the queue, and said in a loud voice: "The ten types of medicinal materials selected for this braided medicine are Xiqiang, Shi Song'er, turpentine, water leek, red shengjun, male cloves, ground grass, star anise maple, and stone zelan. ā
"Okay, let's use these days to prepare medicinal herbs when you go back." After Elder Bai finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
"Wait......" Cha Xiaodao, who had been silent, said suddenly.
"Huh?" Elder Bai looked at Cha Xiaodao with a puzzled expression: "What else is the matter with Xiaoyou?" ā
"That is the correct answer, I wonder if Elder Bai has ever seen it?" Cha Xiaodao asked.
"No, but the medicinal materials and answers selected by the Braided Pill this time have all been passed by the ten hall masters of this sect, what's wrong?"
"The answer is wrong!" Cha Xiaodao said slowly, word by word, like a shock!
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Cha Xiaodao, who was in the middle, whispering.
"This kid is crazy, isn't he? Could the herbs offered by the Rejuvenation Gate be wrong? ā
"I remember him, it seems to be called Cha Xiaodao, and I heard that he is the guy who practiced the best blood spirit in the audition yesterday."
"Cut, so what!" It was Yang Huo, who was the first in the braided medicine test this time, "If you heard me correctly, his score in braided medicine is forty, and he may be eliminated and lose his red eye." ā
"Impossible!" Wang Duan also stepped out and shouted loudly. The medicinal materials selected for this braided medicine were personally selected by him according to the instructions of the royal master, and after the ten hall masters looked at it, it was impossible for anything to go wrong.
Even the two elders, Zhao Changfa and Liu Bai, who witnessed the audition of Cha Xiaodao yesterday, shook their heads, disappointed in their hearts.
originally thought that Cha Xiaodao was just a momentary negligence and made a mistake, but after the mistake, he still quibbled like this, which is really difficult to behave.
Seeing this situation, Cha Xiaodao didn't explain much, but just reached out and picked up the stone spider plant from the wooden plate that had not yet been taken away from the wooden table, and said: "I think you all thought this was Shi Zelan, I originally thought so, but when I carefully observed the exam just now, I found that this was a stone spider plant." ā
"Stone spider plant and stone orchid are the same vine, both are mature medicinal materials of stone orchid, both are very similar in terms of stems, roots, and leaves!" Cha Xiaodao looked around at everyone and said confidently: "But just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, although this stone spider plant and Shi Zelan are similar in appearance, their medicinal effects are very different. ā
"Not bad! Stone spider plant cold and grinding ingredients can treat bruises and wounds, stone zelan is warm, mainly used to reconcile some golden fire and other mutually exclusive drugs. Elder Bai said.
"Stone spider plant?"
"Really? Could it be that it is really a stone spider plant? ā
As Elder Bai answered, everyone also changed from the original questioning and ridicule to half-belief, and some even had seven or eight points of belief.
"This Shi Zelan was specially taken from the medicine pavilion three days ago, and it is ready for today's braided medicine competition, it can't be wrong!" Wang Duan said in a loud voice, then looked at Elder Bai, and said with a heartbeat, "Elder Bai, this kid probably came up with this method because he recognized the wrong medicine, and he wanted to participate in the Tomorrow's Great Competition, please Mingjian." ā
Elder Bai didn't speak, just looked at Cha Xiaodao.
"Although Shi Spider Plant and Shi Zelan are like twin brothers, they also have a way to identify them." Cha Xiaodao looked at Wang Duan and said, "Wang Duan, you are a disciple of the master of the Rejuvenation Gate, don't you know?" ā
"Of course I do, I ......"
Although the selected medicinal materials are all some common medicinal materials, few people know about these because they are mostly born in mountainous forests and distributed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are very few medicines.
Wang Duan was stumbling there for a long time, and he couldn't say a complete sentence, but his face turned red.
