Chapter 25: The World's Treasure
"Look at your worthless appearance, this is a little more silver? As for the surprise? Okay, grandpa will help you keep it first, and ask grandpa when you want to use it! Gu Xiao knocked lightly on the door of his grandson's head and accepted the piece of broken silver that was less than two taels.
Gu Ye took the opportunity to say: "Grandpa, I want to learn medicine from Grandpa Zheng, do you think it's okay?" ”
The medicine saint's real name is Zheng Duocai, and after he became famous, everyone called him "Zheng Da Pharmacist", and then called him "Medicine Saint", but not many people knew his real name.
"Okay, great! However, the grandfather next door doesn't teach people to make medicine easily. It's up to you to see if you can get his blue eyes. Gu Xiao didn't think that his little granddaughter had this blessing and was favored by the Medicine Sage, but he was afraid that if he said it too directly, it would hurt the little granddaughter's young and immature heart, so his tone was more tactful.
The medicine saint has been well-known in the medicine world for decades, and how many people want to worship him as a teacher. But so far, only one apprentice has been accepted. That person is also a deafening pharmacist in the pharmaceutical industry at present.
"When I was on the mountain, I was already apprenticed! Grandpa Zheng said that from tomorrow onwards, he will teach me to recognize and distinguish medicines. Gu Ye said.
When Gu Xiao heard this, his heart turned upside down: Apprenticeship?! Worship the medicine saint as a teacher? My granddaughter will be the apprentice of the world-famous medicine saint in the future? He's not dreaming, is he? Or is it ...... Is this wishful thinking on the part of my granddaughter? Yes, it must have been the granddaughter who took advantage of the medicine saint's injury and couldn't move to forcibly worship the teacher. It's one thing whether people recognize it or not!
Gu Ye would definitely roll his eyes if he wanted to know what he was thinking at this time: it was obvious that the old man was begging to take her as an apprentice, if it wasn't for the cover of his medical skills and medicinal skills, she wouldn't have bothered to deal with him. The so-called medicine saint may not be as clever as her advanced pharmaceutical techniques.
The next day, Gu Xiaotian got up before dawn. He wanted to go to the town to make a big purchase, but he was afraid that a horse would not be able to carry it, so he borrowed the village chief's house from a loud donkey. There were too many things to buy, and Gu Ming was also taken to the town by her grandfather to help.
The little one, with great excitement, rode on his grandfather's tall horse, and held his head high as he passed through the village, like a victorious general. can envy his little friends.
You must know that Gu Xiao's jujube red horse is a war horse, and he has a strong temperament, so when there is no owner present, it is easy not to let people get close. Even Zhang Orion was almost kicked to the ground by it, and the children only dared to watch from afar. What a majestic thing it is to be able to ride on such a powerful horse!
Gu Ming was full of excitement and was protected by her grandfather, and the horse trotted briskly on the winding mountain road. However, Gu Ye was called over by her cheap master to test her ability to identify medicinal materials.
Unexpectedly, this little girl was so young, and she knew so many medicinal herbs, and some of the herbs that he was not sure of the efficacy of, she could treasure them. The more the Medicine Saint listened, the more he felt that he had found a treasure! Originally, he took this trip, but it was just to return the favor of the Hidden Soul Palace, but he didn't expect it to be as the palace said, giving him a big surprise.
The Medicine Saint's eyes looking at rare treasures stared at Gu Ye so much that his hairs stood on end. Is there something wrong with this old man's eyes? Or is there a particular fetish? Oh my god, I won't get on the thief ship, will I?
"Good boy," the Medicine Sage's voice was tender and loving, "where did you learn this ability to identify medicines?" The old man doesn't think that there are more powerful pharmacists in this world than me! "Well, in the end, I didn't forget to brag about myself, I was also drunk!
Gu Ye turned back to his room, and when he came back, he had a yellowed and worn-out manuscript with a sense of age, which recorded the medicinal properties, medicinal effects and usage methods of more than 1,800 kinds of medicinal materials in the way of comparison of pictures and texts. On the broken cover, there are four big characters "Compendium of Materia Medica" written in strong words. Obviously, this was an antique-level medicine book she had collected in her previous life.
As the saying goes: gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. In her previous life, even when the human race was reduced to less than one-tenth in the frenzied hunting of alien beasts, she was still willing to believe that the troubled times would eventually pass, and peace would surely come back to the world. Therefore, the potions she made can not only be exchanged for gold, but also the antiques that others discard, especially ancient calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, she is willing to accept. A large part of her space is occupied by these ancient books. This "Compendium of Materia Medica" is one of them.
Unexpectedly, after seeing this fragment of "Compendium of Materia Medica", Yao Sheng was so excited that tears were about to fall. With trembling hands, he respectfully took the medicine book and carefully turned a few pages. After confirming its authenticity, the Medicine Saint was like a treasure, and his lips trembled and he said to Gu Ye: "This is the long-lost Grandmaster Li's pharmacopoeia!" You...... Where did you get this treasure in the world? ”
"Uh...... This is what my mother left me. She said that she had given a piece of bread to a beggar who was dying of starvation outside the town, and that the old beggar gave me the book, which was said to be his family's ancestral. I learned about herbal medicine from this book. Master, this book ...... Precious? Gu Ye didn't expect that there would be a "Compendium of Materia Medica" in this world.
From her grandfather's mouth, she learned that this was a country and dynasty that did not exist in history. The three major powers divide the world equally, namely the Yan Kingdom, the Forest Kingdom, and the Chongwu Kingdom. There are also a dozen small subject states under these three countries. And the Dongling Kingdom where they are located is a small subject country of the Yan Kingdom.
In her previous life, there was a theory of parallel space, and perhaps the moment she died, her soul was sucked into parallel space and came to a world that had never existed in history. It's just that she didn't expect this "Compendium of Materia Medica" to be so sought after here.
"It's not just precious, it's a priceless treasure for us healers and pharmacists. You see, in addition to the form, origin, collection and processing of various medicinal materials, it also indicates in detail the sexual taste, indications, medication rules, and prescription compatibility of the drugs. Look at the prescription behind this...... With it, as long as you don't get stupid and outrageous, you will definitely be able to become a transcendent medical master of the five people in the world in time!! The more Yao Sheng spoke, the more excited he became, and he almost didn't offer the book.
"Oh!" Gu Ye's calmness was calm, in stark contrast to the Medicine Saint.
Yao Sheng glared at her with a stubborn face, his old face turned red, and he raised his voice and said, "You kid, why don't you care?" Do you know what it would mean to own this book? ”
"Master, don't get excited, be careful of blood pressure rise cerebral hemorrhage. Come, do it with me, exhale-inhale-exhale-" Gu Ye was really afraid that he would be excited. There is a medicine to stabilize blood pressure in her space, but how to explain it if she takes it out?
The Medicine Saint took a few deep breaths with her rhythm, and her mood calmed down a little. Looking at the apprentice's casual expression, he said weakly: "Apprentice, have you heard what the teacher said?" ”
"I heard you! I believe that Master, you will definitely become the most powerful pharmaceutical master and medical master in the world! Gu Ye used a coaxing tone to soothe the old man's emotions. If he continues to be so excited, he will really burst his blood vessels.
"!!" The medicine saint was so angry that his swear words came out, "I am a medicine saint, will I keep the medicine book of the disciple as my own?" Aren't you insulting the personality of a teacher? ”
Gu Ye was stunned for a moment, moved by the other party's character, and quickly explained: "Master, you misunderstood, I really didn't mean that. As the saying goes, 'swords for heroes', no matter how good the treasure is, it can only play its greatest role when it is in the hands of those who understand it.
You look at this book, and before I meet you, I only use it as a tool for literacy; I heard the money shopkeeper say that herbs can be sold for money, so I learned to identify medicinal herbs by comparing the pictures above.
This book can only be carried forward and benefited by the pharmaceutical experts you have. The apprentice voluntarily dedicated the medicine book to the master! ”
"No! This apprenticeship is too precious to be accepted by the teacher! "This world apprenticeship is to send the master to apprentice, when the eldest apprentice of the original medicine saint apprenticed, he dedicated his ancestral unique secret method of concocting medicinal materials to him. However, this long-lost medical treasure book, the medicine saint thinks that he is not so thick-skinned and takes it for himself.
"Okay, don't say any more!" The medicine saint was afraid that his will was not strong enough, so he persuaded him a few more words, shaking his determination to refuse, so he said, "The teacher will teach you all the skills of his own medicine, and you will have to fight harder." As for this book, you must not let a third person see it. If you encounter something you don't understand, the teacher will refer to it with you. ”
Well, since the master has such a resolute attitude, Gu Ye will not force it. However, she didn't know whether she wanted it or not, she would always hold the medicine book and let the master explain it to her.
The medicine saint stared at the sentence in the book, "The copper kettle is dripping with water: it is slippery, it can be made upside down at the top, and it can be turned up at the spring, and it is advisable to decoction the medicine of the four ends." "My heart suddenly opened up, it turned out that this copper kettle was dripping water, and it was also helpful for decoction!
The medicine saint who felt that he had taken advantage of his apprentices taught his apprentices to do his best more. And Gu Ye was also pleasantly surprised to find that his little head was quite handy. No matter how difficult and awkward the medical pharmacology is, she will definitely be able to remember it firmly and understand it without three times here.
The Medicine Saint is even more of a treasure, such a talented child, it is really difficult to find a few in the world. If you really talk about it, only the great general of the Yan Kingdom can compare with it. It is said that the great general Wang's talent for practicing martial arts when he was a child was revealed, and when he was a teenager, he had few opponents, and he entered the battlefield at the age of thirteen. At the age of fifteen, the old general Wang took a back seat and put the army in the hands of his grandson. In less than five years, he has created the myth of being undefeated......
I don't know why, when the master told the deeds of the great general of the Yan Kingdom, Gu Ye always had an ice cube face that could freeze people to death. In his previous life, the battles led by the ice cube face had always been a complete victory, and it was difficult for him to find an opponent in his own ability to fight alone. His team may not be able to enter if others are crowded. And under his banner, she has never worried about safety, so she has devoted all her energy to the development of pharmaceuticals......
