Chapter 171: Poison Toad and Alchemy (I)
Toad, Li You didn't have much of an impression, but he still knew about similar amphibians.
For example, the forest frog, which is mainly used as an ingredient, can be seen everywhere in the forest that my grandfather watched.
But with the increasing problem of environmental pollution, there is not much to see now. In order to feast on their food, the people there had to enclose the mountains and land and raise them in captivity.
Li You listened to Zhao Banxian'er's words, and had too many doubts to come out, but it was not easy to interrupt him, so he had to insist on listening.
After that, Zhao Banxian took out six octagonal things similar to copper coins, put them on the bamboo tube and shook it, opened the bamboo cover, and then slowly poured out the copper coins inside.
After seeing the hexagram, he frowned for a while. Then he opened his mouth and said:
"Thick clouds cover the sun and the sun is not bright, I advise you not to go far out of school to seek wealth and marriage, and you must prevent your tongue from coming to the court."
When Qian Cheng heard this, he hurriedly asked him whether this hexagram was auspicious or evil.
Zhao Banxian'er explained that his algorithm was the King Wen hexagram left by King Wen of Zhou.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the Fuxi clan created the first gossip, the Shennong clan created the Lianlianshan gossip, and the Xuanyuan clan created the gossip of Tibet.
Later, according to the careful study of King Wen, it was standardized and organized, and it was deduced into sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams.
In later generations, all those who were serious fortune tellers and diviners were more or less influenced by King Wen.
It uses simple images and numbers, with the opposing changes of yin and yang, to illustrate the complex social phenomena, showing thousands and even infinite numbers, with the characteristics of showing more with less, more with simplicity, and full of changes.
After the inference and interpretation of Zhou Gong and Confucius in later generations, the book "Zhou Yi" that has been passed down to this day was formed.
After the inheritance of literati, scholars and the ruling class of successive generations, King Wen's "Zhou Yi" has become the source of a hundred schools of thought, and even people's daily life is closely related to it.
After Zhao Banxian'er finished the hexagram, he put away the copper coin, put it back in his arms, and sighed repeatedly:
"This is the mountain to go away, which means that the war is uneasy. In vain, if I help you, it will be considered disobedient. ”
Not to mention the first few sentences, when Qian Cheng heard the last sentence, his face became more and more ugly, although he did not cry, but he also showed a strong desire to survive.
Wang Fu, who was standing aside and watching for a while, hurriedly said: "Master, although this hexagram is like this, but the cause of my brother's disease is the poisonous toad, if we find it and get rid of it, won't we be able to solve the problem from the source?" ”
"That's right, I think so too, if you can't save him after getting rid of the poisonous toad, at least you can find a good medicine from it."
During Qian Cheng's illness, he also took a lot of rare medicines, and naturally knew that this poisonous toad was originally a toad, and its skin and other substances could be used in medicine.
"Then bother the master, and my life will be entrusted to you." After speaking, he still wanted to stand up and exert force.
But he was stopped by Wang Fu and Da Linzi, Zhao Banxian'er saw this, but when he got better, it was not too late to thank him.
Then, the half-fairy asked Da Linzi to find a few more people to catch some cicadas outside.
"Toad? Where do we have it here? ”
"It's a cicada, a cicada that chirps cicadas, alas."
Da Linzi scratched his scalp with a red face, and promised, when he went out, Zhao Banxian'er commanded loudly, if he couldn't find the cicada, the locusts could also fly.
"I don't know what the half-fairy wants these insects to do?"
Facing Wang Fu's doubts, Zhao Banxian twisted a lock of beard on his chin and said, "This is called throwing bricks and attracting jade, let's use insects as bait to lure out the demon toad." ”
"Oh, and then we're going to capture it?"
"Of course, no", Zhao Banxian'er gasped: "That is not an ordinary thing, if you rush forward, I am afraid that you will be poisoned by it." ”
Wang Fu frowned and looked at the half-immortal, and asked suspiciously, "What does the master mean?" ”
"This is going to use my unique secret study, the puppet reincarnation technique."
Li You listened to the half-fairy here, and suddenly paused and was silent, why did this old man love to do buttons so much, and he stopped every time he reached a critical place.
"Li You, don't you think it's a little strange that we're quiet here now."
As soon as he did this, Li You realized that it seemed that since the last time the guy brought the wine, there was no sound at all in front of the house and behind the house
So he got up in a hurry, came to the door, pushed the door and looked out, and the man who was supposed to be guarding the door was now missing.
"Dude? Shop two? Waiter! ”
Li Yousan shouted twice, but the guy didn't call, but he annoyed the slightly drunk Zhao Banxian'er.
He pulled Li You back, gestured with his finger to silence, and said, "Quiet, there is a demonic aura here." ”
"Demonic?" Li You looked at Zhao Banxian'er's serious appearance, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, wanting to see what he planned to do next.
But before he could move, in front of the open door, there was a person standing at some point. Looking down at the ground, I don't know what I'm looking at. Judging by what he was wearing, he remembered that this was the guy.
Li You took two steps forward, wanting to squat down to see the expression on his face, but after squatting, he only glanced at it and sat directly on the ground.
Then he rubbed back a few times, with a slight fear on his face.
Seeing this, Zhao Banxian'er didn't say a word, reached out and lifted his man's chin, and a face with no skin and flesh and only white bones left was immediately revealed.
"Master, master, why is this face gone?"
Not only is Li You's faceless, but even a trace of blood can't be seen.
Speckled scraps of flesh stained the face, as if there was a rash on a skull. Zhao Banxian'er was also shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly probed his veins with her fingers.
Finding that this person was still alive, the half-fairy was even more surprised.
Heart, although this person has no "face", he can still walk and discern the direction, he must be manipulated by demons.
He hurriedly took out a talisman from his bosom, pinched the mantra, and then used the blood talisman to stick it on the man's forehead.
The guy suddenly fell backwards, Li You was still shocked, and he didn't dare to move forward for a while, Zhao Banxian looked at him and said:
"Go over and see if he's still alive."
"Huh?"
Li Youxin, how can this old man be like his uncle, whenever there is a dangerous job, he will ask himself to do it.
But the master and the master are all half called, and it is not easy to disobey. He swallowed, quickly stood up and walked over, grabbing the man's wrist.
"It's dead, it's pulseless." With only these five words, Li You suddenly felt that the earth was spinning, and he couldn't hear Zhao Banxian'er's words clearly, could his heart be fainting again?
"Master, I'...... I think I've been tricked......"
Seeing Li You like this, his eyes were still a little wooden, Zhao Banxian'er hurriedly stepped forward, supported Li You's back with one hand, and then helped him to the wooden chair.
"Eh, it's much better. Master, was I persecuted by demons just now? ”
