Volume 1: The Twin Towers Chapter 163: First Sight of Miao Lu
Lu Yao followed a few people all the way towards the middle of the village, and all the way, neither the old man nor the child looked at him at all, he was like air in the eyes of these people.
The old man never told Lu Yao his name, but Lu Yao knew that this person was not Miao Lu, once Miao Fu told himself that Miao Lu was his twin brother, which means that even if the two are not exactly the same, they should be almost the same, but the old man in front of him and Miao Fu have no resemblance at all.
In this way, Lu Yao followed the old man in all directions, probably through eleven corridors and four halls, before he came to a large medicine garden overflowing with medicinal fragrance.
There are a lot of Chinese herbs planted in this medicine garden, some of which are very bright, some are elegant, and Lu Yao basically knows those herbs that are very bright, but Lu Yao basically doesn't know those who are elegant.
Some of the herbs that I know completely subvert Lu Yao's perception of these herbs, the herbs that can only grow in the tropics are growing quietly in a flower garden at the foot of this cloud mountain, and looking at the appearance of the flowers, it is obviously not transplanted, there are some herbs that can only bloom in the polar regions, and they are also very lush at this time, all in all, all kinds of herbs in the tropics and cold zones that should not grow here are blooming charmingly, competing with each other, as if this is their paradise.
There is a recliner at the end of the medicine garden, the appearance is not luxurious, but it is very elegant, Lu Yao took a closer look, the material used is made of local pine wood in Shuangta City, and a layer of light red and yellow paint is brushed on it, the color of the paint is very fine, outlined according to the texture of the trees, it looks very good, and the back of the recliner is woven with burlap, simple and simple.
There was a man lying on the recliner, covering his face with a somewhat exaggerated straw hat, so that people couldn't tell his age, if it weren't for Lu Yao's good eyesight, seeing that the skin on his hands was a little wrinkled, he guessed that his age should be very different from the old man next to him.
The old man took Lu Yao to step into a dirt path on the edge of the medicine garden, but the young people who had been surrounding him in the middle did not come in, this medicine garden was like a forbidden area, and they stood respectfully outside.
"Patriarch, the young man who broke the formation has brought it to you!" The old man didn't go far on the dirt path before he stood still, with his hands behind his back and bent over, and his voice was neither loud nor small, so that it happened to be heard by the people on the chaise long.
The person on the recliner didn't react much, knowing that it had been about two or three minutes before he raised his right hand and removed the straw hat on his face, and sat up straight.
At this time, Lu Yao saw clearly the old face full of wrinkles, it was a face that made him familiar and unfamiliar, strange because Lu Yao was sure that it was the first time he met this person, familiar because his facial features were somewhat similar to Miao Jingtian, but Miao Fu was more similar.
Judging from the way he sat up, there was no doubt that this person should be Miao Lu.
Miao Lu's figure is not tall, on the contrary, he is a little thin, his face is full of wrinkles, his eyes are small but bright, his eyes are gray, giving people a psychedelic feeling, Lu Yao even feels that if his eyes look at it for a long time, it is very likely that he will fall into his world, which is obviously an indecent illusion.
Miao Lu's cheekbones are very high, and his temples are also bulging high, as if two horns will grow at any time, and he has a big bag, and his fingers are slender, like the hands of a young woman who has not been baptized by life.
Lu Yao was looking at Miao Lu, Miao Lu was also looking at Lu Yao, neither of them spoke, they looked at each other quietly, and they didn't know how long it was, maybe it was a long time, maybe it was just a minute, just two minutes, Miao Lu finally spoke first: "Young man, what are you doing here in our Miao Jiatun?" ”
"Find someone!" Lu Yao still answered the same answer as he had answered the old man before.
"Looking for whom?" Miao Lu asked.
"I'm looking for Miao Jingtian Brother Miao!" Lu Yao replied.
"What did you come to him for?" Miao Lu still asked.
"Friends catch up and discuss some pharmacological things." Lu Yao said casually.
"At a young age, you also know pharmacology?" Miao Lu questioned with some disbelief.
"There is no order to learn, the master is the teacher, the young age is not not a reason not to seek progress, not to learn no reason, I have loved medical things since I was a child, although it is not Bo Gu Tong Jin, but it can also be said that I have read a lot of medical classics, Brother Miao is a medicine picker, but also a descendant of a medical family, I have a relationship with him, even speculation, meet in the leisure time to discuss together, now I have time, so I came to the appointment!" Lu Yao said very naturally, neither humble nor arrogant, he knew that if he wanted to see Miao Jingtian smoothly, he had to "break" Miao Lu in front of him beautifully.
"Oh? At a young age, I said it very coincidentally, and I didn't know that your knowledge was as sharp as your words from time to time. When Miao Lu heard Lu Yao's words, he put the straw hat in his hand aside, took out a bamboo tube with an arm's thickness and a length of more than half a meter from under the recliner, took a sip, and then said, "How about I test you?" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Lu Yao made a gesture of invitation and said.
"What is the explanation of the envoy of the monarch?" Seeing that Lu Yao was so confident, Miao Lu didn't beat around the bush and asked bluntly.
"The monarch and the minister said that it came from the "Shennong Materia Medica", which said: One hundred and twenty kinds of medicine are for the monarch, and the lord supports his life; One hundred and twenty kinds of traditional Chinese medicine are ministers, mainly nourishing; One hundred and twenty kinds of medicine are used as assistants to treat diseases; The medication must be in accordance with the monarch's ministers. Lu Yao quickly searched his mind for such a note he had seen in the book city.
"What is medicine, what is traditional Chinese medicine, and what is medicine?" Miao Lu heard Lu Yao's answer, nodded slightly, and then asked.
"One hundred and twenty kinds of medicine are the king, the lord feeds his life to respond to the sky, non-toxic, and does not hurt people if he takes it for a long time. One hundred and twenty kinds of traditional Chinese medicine are ministers, the main nourishment is to respond to people, toxic, non-toxic, consider its appropriateness, and want to cure diseases and make up for deficiency, the main quality; One hundred and twenty kinds of medicine are used as assistants, in order to respond to the place, more poisonous, can not be taken for a long time, want to remove cold and heat evil qi, break the accumulation and remove chronic diseases, this is the next product. Lu Yao replied.
"What are the three parts and nine candidates?" Miao Lu asked again.
"The head, upper limbs, and lower limbs of the human body are divided into three parts, each of which has three arteries in the upper, middle, and lower parts. Lu Yao replied again.
“……”
“……”
The two of them asked and answered, for half an hour, Lu Yao answered all the questions Miao Lu heard, so he didn't continue to ask, he stood up from the recliner and staggered towards Lu Yao.
At this time, Lu Yao noticed that Miao Lu's legs seemed to be a little disabled, and when he walked, he shook and swayed, and he seemed to have some difficulty driving.
The distance between the two was only more than ten meters, Miao Lu walked for a full two minutes before he walked to Lu Yao, and when he arrived, he said: "My name is Miao Fu, I am the uncle of Sedum, you are welcome to our Miao Jiatun as a guest, you follow me to the hall to sit for a while, I will send someone to call Sedum over." ”
Although Lu Yao had known some of these things for a long time, when he heard Miao Lu introduce himself and say that his name was Miao Fu, Lu Yao still felt funny in his heart.
Obviously, his name is Miao Lu, but he has to say that he is Miao Fu, which is normal in the eyes of outsiders, but in Lu Yao's opinion, this is completely a big lie. This also made Lu Yao more convinced of what Miao Fu, who was the same as a wild man in the Cloud Misty Mountain, said before.
However, Lu Yao thought about it in his heart, but he didn't say anything, maintained a trace of politeness and politeness, nodded, and obeyed the other party's arrangement.
Miao Lu saw Lu Yao nodding, so he led the way in front of him and walked towards the outside of the medicine garden.
The old man followed behind the two, and the young men had already dispersed, probably going to their own business.
Miao Lu's so-called hall is actually an upper room in the middle of a very ordinary house, the room is equipped with some old furniture, there are many portraits of ancient medical sages on the wall, and a long case in the middle of the house is dedicated to a one-meter square statue, judging from the clothes on his body, it is the same as the villagers outside, Lu Yao guessed that this should be the ancestor of these Miao families in Miaojiatun.
The two of them landed separately in the hall, Miao Lu sat on the upper hand, Lu Yao sat on the lower hand, and the old man was arranged by Miao Lu to serve tea to Lu Yao.
After a while, the old man returned to the hall with a wooden plate, and there were two cups of fragrant tea on the plate, and as soon as the old man entered the door, Lu Yao smelled the refreshing fragrance.
"I heard Miao Qing say, your name is Lu Yao, right?" Miao Lu glanced at the old man and said to Lu Yao. Obviously, that old man is the so-called Miao Qing in Miao Lu's mouth.
"Yes!" Half of Lu Yao's attention at this time was attracted by the tea held by the old man named Miao Qing, and his answer to Miao Lu's question was very simple.
"Mr. Lu, please have tea!" Miao Lu also noticed Lu Yao's expression, and said with a smile: "This is not ordinary tea, but it is brewed with some medicinal herbs that I grew myself in my humble medicine garden just now, which has the effect of refreshing the mind and brightening the eyes and nourishing qi, you might as well try it!" ”
I have to say that Miao Lu's tea is very fragrant, even Lu Yao, who is used to drinking boiled water and doesn't like to drink tea on weekdays, smells itchy and greedy, but when he thinks that Miao Lu is good at using Gu poison, Lu Yao dispelled the idea of drinking it.
"Thank you Mr. Miao for your kindness, I am not in good health, I have been taking medicine, and I can't drink tea on weekdays, let alone medicinal tea." Lu Yao found a reason that could make him feel that he was in the past.
Miao Lu listened to Lu Yao's words, smiled slightly, and didn't force it, took one of the cups and took a sip of it himself, and then put it on the table.
