Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Book of Mysteries
He Xingyao followed Cangluoxi around the stone house for a long time, she observed the furnishings here, it was still very simple, but there were a lot of medical books, many of which were unique treasures.
Cang Luoxi saw that she was fascinated, and handed over a book, "Famous Grass Record".
Speaking of this "Famous Grass Record", it was written by Mo Tianling, the medical immortal many years ago.
He Xingyao looked at this thick book, and probably flipped through it again, the book is not bad, it is a record of various herbs and poisonous weeds, with their own growth habits and food taboos, and there are pictures of various grasses in it, which makes people interested at a glance.
She smiled and said, "Master, this book ......."
Cang Luoxi continued: "This book is the first book given to me by my master back then, he said that before studying medicine, you must first understand all kinds of medicinal herbs, so that you can collect medicine in the mountains, and you will not be confused and confused. ”
"That's what it looks like!"
Cang Luoxi saw that she was so interested, and for some reason she felt more and more happy in her heart.
He flipped through the other books on the shelf, and suddenly, a label fell out of the shelf, it was a yellowed piece of paper, with some words written on it with a brush, but the handwriting was blurred because of its age, but the smell of the book was particularly attractive.
He Xingyao saw the paper on the ground first, picked it up directly, looked back and forth curiously, and then handed the paper to him.
She wondered, "Master, do you know what is written on this piece of paper?" ”
Cang Luoxi didn't speak, just looked at the paper with a sad expression, and tears dripped onto the yellowed paper.
He Xingyao saw that he didn't speak, and his state was not very good, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart for a while.
So, she smiled and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
She didn't ask about physical problems, after all, Master was a healer, so naturally she didn't need to worry too much.
Cang Luoxi didn't think about it so much, but for some reason, looking at the yellowed paper, his heart was a little hairy, and he always felt like he was being peeped into.
So what's on the paper?
He Xingyao was very curious, and couldn't help but glance at it with squinted eyes.
Seeing this, Cang Luoxi was a little angry and crushed the piece of paper with internal force, and then sprinkled it on the table, and there were also some paper crumbs on the ground, looking at it in such a clean and simple study, it was very abrupt.
He wiped his tears with his sleeve and said with a very determined look: "It's nothing, the contents of that paper are just some inconsequential things, you don't need to know so much." ”
After a pause, he continued: "He Xingyao, although you and I are serious masters and apprentices, my affairs have nothing to do with you, so don't ask again in the future." ”
He Xingyao looked at him with surprised eyes, his eyes were unblinking, as bright as the stars in the sky, such a light, and his mother once looked at him in the eyes.
For a while, he looked at her and was a little stupid.
The north wind howled and blew the curtains through the window, so that their hair was a little scattered.
He raised his hand and said softly, "Don't move, your hair is messy, I'll give you a haircut." ”
He Xingyao didn't move, she stood there fixedly, her eyes staring at the master, her heart pounding.
Cang Luoxi's voice is magnetic and unquestionable, and it is particularly shocking to listen to her ears.
He Xingyao was a little immersed in such a voice, she never knew that a man's voice would be so attractive, and her ears were pregnant.
I saw Cang Luoxi gently raise her hand and pause at her sideburns, then brushed the hair that had already been blown by the wind, and then put down her hand and took a few steps back directly.
He was a little skeptical of himself, what the hell was going on?
It's just to help the apprentice brush his hair, why is his heart pounding?
He Xingyao was also a little uncomfortable, when she raised her head, she happened to see that Master's ears had become completely red, and his face was also red with the sunset, looking like he was shy.
She didn't dare to look into Master's eyes, but rubbed her palms with her hands unnaturally, and said worriedly, "Master, why did your face and ears become so red?" ”
As soon as she finished saying this, Cang Luoxi fled directly and left, without having time to explain anything, almost fleeing in a hurry, such a move made her feel a little inexplicable.
He Xingyao doesn't know what is going on with the master and himself, although the relationship between the two is very shallow, but in the end it is still a serious master-apprentice relationship, what is wrong with this?
She really couldn't think of it, so she had to continue to flip through the books in the study.
I have to say that this stone room looks cold and cold, but because of those books, it is full of the smell of books, which is extremely reassuring.
There are many books here, including almost everything about medicine in this world, "acupuncture and medicinal herbs", and "The Complementarity of Natural Dialectics and Medicine".
She was most curious about these two books, the "Famous Grass Record" given by her master before, these three books looked heavy, but the content inside was really wonderful.
Just as she was looking at it with hunger, a book wrapped in black leather at the top of the bookshelf suddenly fell.
Curiously, she reached out to pick it up, and as soon as she tore off the black skin, she saw the big words "electricity and creation" on it
The book was very strange, she flipped through several pages, but still didn't understand anything, and it was very different from the other three books he had read.
Those three books are a precious collection of medical arts, and the writing with a brush looks a little uncomfortable, and some of the words are difficult to read.
However, the book "Electricity and Creation" in front of her is very different.
The book is thick, but the content inside is extraordinarily neat, which is very different from the clutter I imagined.
And the most eye-catching thing is that the three words on the cover of this book seem to be a name, and she only knows the last word, which is jade.
It is precisely because of this that she noticed the difference in the book, which looked as if it had been cut with a sharp object, very flat and smooth, and did not fall behind in the slightest compared to the best rice paper.
However, can there really be such a good paper in this world? Is it really possible to cut very flat? Even if it looks like this, the book is so thick, but the words inside are so small, and the layout is so legible, how is this done?
She really couldn't figure it out, and she had never seen such a technique that could make a book so exquisite, this is simply something that only gods can do!
The more He Xingyao thought about it, the more strange she felt, although the books here are all unique treasures, but only "Electricity and Creation" is really strange, although she can't read the handwriting on this book, but vaguely, she always feels that this is not a medical book, and what is "electricity"? She only knows that there will be lightning on rainy days, so what does lightning have to do with the electricity in this book? And what difference will it make?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there must be some kind of connection between it, and the creation of this word really has a personality.
He Xingyao has always been a knowledgeable and talented woman, and she has never been ashamed to ask, so she is known as a talented woman in Yuecheng, but she is too low-key on weekdays, so not so many people know about her.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, since she had seen such a strange book, she naturally had to understand it.
So, He Xingyao directly took the book and went outside to prepare to find Cangluoxi.
Cang Luoxi was in a state of confusion at this time, he didn't know what was going on at all, facing his apprentices, he was always a little itchy, and he didn't know how to continue to get along, the more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt.
As soon as he saw He Xingyao's figure, he couldn't help but hide directly under a bush.
He Xingyao saw his figure just now, but he suddenly disappeared in an instant.
She was a little puzzled, could it be that the master was going to play hide and seek with her?
So, she hurried around outside, holding the book and shouting loudly, "Master, I have already seen you, are you going to play hide and seek with me?" ”
"Master, when I was a child, I always played with my sister and Duo'er, they always liked to hide for me to find, and I will definitely find you this time."
She said this in a joking tone, and she didn't think about it that much.
But Cang Luoxi listened to what she said, and watched her run around under the bushes, with a happy smile on her face, and her hair and skirt dancing in the wind, and it looked like a messy beauty, which was wonderful before.
He became more and more obsessed, and he didn't notice that He Xingyao had already begun to approach the bushes.
I saw her bow her head, tiptoe through the bushes to find, both hands pulling those flowers and trees, and her heart was happy for a while.
He Xingyao's face gradually enlarged in front of him, he really couldn't hide it anymore, so he took the initiative to come out of the bushes, stood up straight, and looked at her seriously.
"Master, why are you hiding here? By the way, I'm going to ask you something. ”
Cang Luoxi tried to pretend to be mature and coughed, his hands behind his back, and his expression looked very serious.
He coughed a little abruptly, and then said with some embarrassment: "I left you in the study to let you read a lot of books, what do you have to ask?" ”
Seeing this, He Xing hurriedly handed him the book "Electricity and Creation" in his hand.
As soon as he saw this book, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he slapped her directly, pushing her several steps, unable to even stand steadily, and finally fell to the ground.
I saw that Cang Luoxi's face suddenly became very terrifying, and his hands trembled and he threw the book on the ground.
"Who allowed you to touch this book? There are so many rare books in the study, why do you want to ask this question? ”
The angry voice sounded, and she was no longer gentle, which made her very surprised, she didn't know what she had done wrong, what was the purpose of the master's this?
He Xingyao really didn't understand, this was just a book, why did Master's face change so quickly?
"Master, why are you beating me like this? What's so mysterious about this book? Or am I doing something wrong? ”
Cang Luoxi shook his head and said incoherently, "You shouldn't touch this book anyway. ”
"Why? I just wanted to ask what the book was about, but why didn't you listen to me at all? ”
She was aggrieved and tears flowed out, and her body hurt when she fell to the ground, how could this person treat herself like this?
After thinking of this, she looked at Cang Luoxi a little helplessly, and the tears in her eyes still stung the person in front of her after all.
Cang Luoxi was furious and said angrily: "Do you think you can take this book casually? Don't read this book again in the future, there are so many books worth reading, but this one, no. ”
He Xingyao didn't expect that asking questions would become a sin, which made the master angry, is there any secret in this book?
Although she couldn't figure it out, she still wanted to know the contents of the book very much, and at the same time, she wanted to know more and more about what was the content of the yellowed paper that had fallen on the floor of the study before. Why did the master's attitude change so much?
Sometimes, the more things she can't figure out and what she doesn't understand, the more curious she becomes.
Seeing that Cang Luoxi's expression was so solemn, she didn't want to be disgusted in front of her master, so she had to slowly get up from the ground, dust off her clothes, and staggered back to her room.
Speaking of which, this Youlan Valley is located in the middle of nowhere, and at the same time it is very mysterious, in this huge valley, there are no strangers except for myself and Master.
She looked at her room as simple as this, and she was a little unaccustomed to it, and suddenly she remembered the room she lived in when she lived in the Ming Palace in the puppet city, as well as the room in her own home, all of which were magnificent, and the furnishings of the whole house were not so simple......
Cang Luoxi regretted it very much because he beat his apprentice, and at the same time became more and more annoyed.
But he really couldn't control it at the time, especially when he saw the book "Electricity and Creation", the anger rising in his heart made him completely unreasonable, and on impulse, he hit He Xingyao.
He thought back to the scene at that time, and felt a little sad for some reason, seeing He Xingyao not coming to his side for a long time, he was even more ashamed, and at the same time he was very disappointed in his heart.
For the first time, he felt that his whole person seemed to have lost his soul, obviously there were not so many unsatisfactory things, but his heart was always like a mess, and his thoughts turned a thousand times.
He admits that the book "Electricity and Creation" is indeed very different, and he saw it by chance at the time, it was his brother's relic, how can people just take it and look through it?
Although he was impulsive this time, He Xingyao didn't know it, and he didn't make any mistakes, which really made him scratch his ears and cheeks.
After a long while, he felt that he really shouldn't do this, after all, an apprentice who had just been accepted was still unfamiliar with this Youlan Valley, how could he be so angry?
After thinking of this, he instantly extinguished the anger in his heart, thinking about the follow-up very calmly, and at the same time thinking about how to change the relationship between master and apprentice, so that when teaching medical skills and martial arts in the future, the relationship between the two people would not be awkward.
If it is just because of a book, the master and apprentice have become enemies and do not agree with each other, which is really a bit unreasonable.
He once thought that he would always be sane and sober, when his parents and brother died one after another, he didn't have a big mess, how could he be angry with his apprentice because of a book?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it, and the regret in his heart became deeper and deeper.
So, Cangluoxi personally picked some wild vegetables in the forest and went back, planning to make a pot of wild vegetable soup and wild vegetable cakes to make amends for He Xingyao.
As early as when He Xingyao was at home, he had already observed very carefully, her family was very amiable, and the family must have a lot of wealth, even the silk in that room, as well as those tea sets, were what he had always longed for.
He thought that He Xingyao must have been tired of eating those delicacies of the mountains and seas for a long time, and now that he tastes this wild vegetable, maybe he will forgive himself as soon as he is in a good mood!
Cang Luoxi had a good calculation, but he was very worried in his heart, he didn't know if He Xingyao would accept his apology, but if he was sincere, it wouldn't be wrong after all.
Thinking of this, he began to get busy in the kitchen quickly.
