Chapter Eighty-Five: Xin Zhi

It's been a few days since Hua Da came to Huafu, and the owner is a person who is both magical and somewhat mysterious, and he doesn't dare to ask if he doesn't say many things.

Since the master was so confident, he had no choice but to urge: "The magpie girl is still waiting for news in the pharmacy, young boy, this medicine?" ”

"I'll come with you."

Hua Lan didn't hesitate, turned around and put on another robe in the bedroom, tied the bun on her head and inserted a jade hairpin, and went out with Hua Da.

The streets were silent in the middle of the night, and the sound of the rolling wheels of the carriages and the crisp clatter of horses' hooves spread out in the night wind as they headed westward.

The magpie waited at the door of the pharmacy, listening to the sound of the carriage coming from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him.

The carriage stopped at the door of the pharmacy, and with the help of two bright lanterns at the door, Hua Lan jumped out of the carriage.

The magpie stretched out her hand to help, and the man at the pharmacy hurriedly invited her in.

The one who grabbed the medicine was an old man with silver hair and a goatee as white as snow.

He squinted and walked over, Hua Lan hurriedly handed over the prescription and asked, "Old man, do you really not know these herbs?" ”

The young man sat down with Mr. in his arms, and he shook his head and looked at Hua Lan: "Childe really didn't prescribe the wrong prescription, the old man looked at these herbs and prescriptions very strange, not like ordinary diseases." I wonder what Childe wants to do with this recipe? ”

"Of course, it's for the purpose of concocting the antidote."

Hua Lan muttered in her heart, her face did not change at all, she remained gentle, and she thought about it secretly before asking: "Old man, if Hua drew the shape and pattern of these herbs, Mr. can deny it, or maybe Hua remembered the name of the herb wrongly." ”

The gentleman reached out and stroked his goatee, nodded kindly, and said, "Okay." ”

When he had finished speaking, he instructed his fellows, "Go and bring the pen and paper." ”

"Yes!" The young man answered, turned around and entered the inner hall, and after a while, he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

There are tables and chairs next to it, magpies take the tray, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, dripping and grinding ink, mix the ink, dip the ink in the pen and ink and hand it to Hua Lan.

Hua Lan has been reading the Compendium of Materia Medica since she was a child, and she is familiar with the strokes of these herbs.

As she painted, the old gentleman looked at it with his goatee twisted aside, drawing a little bit of herbs, but when the last one was drawn, he frowned.

"Childe, you did misremember a few herbs, this Zhu Dan is not called Zhu Dan, it should be Red Dan. The flavor yellow is burnt, the sweet wax is licowood, the lemon grass is the lemon fragrance, and the lying ground is the Xinzhi on Fengqi Mountain. ”

He looked at Hua Lan very strangely, "These herbs are very rare, and they are the must-have herbs for preparing the antidote, isn't it?" ”

His eyes were a little puzzled, and he looked at Hua Lan carefully: "Can the young man borrow his wrist to the old man?" ”

The old gentleman's eyes were sharp, and Hua Lan's face and breath made him suspicious. His gaze was fixed on Hua Lan, and his eyes were a little shocked and questioning.

Hua Lan naturally couldn't give him his wrist for treatment, and as soon as the old gentleman took her wrist, wouldn't the identity of his daughter's family be completely worn out?

The old gentleman's eyes were already a little suspicious, but he couldn't let these few doubts sit down.

She smiled and said, "Mr. is really polite, Hua is fine." It's just that a few people in the house have fallen for other people's calculations, and now they are in urgent need of these herbs to prepare and treat. Late-night chatter, it's really a last resort. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

The old gentleman was not embarrassed by a strong man, and waved his hand: "The son saves people's hearts, and the old man is deeply touched." It's just that this red pill, burnt flavor, as well as liganwood and lemon fragrance, can still help Gongzi find it, but this flavor of Xinzhi is different, this flavor of herbs, only Gongzi can pick it up in Fengqi Mountain. ”

Voldeben is a very ordinary herb, but this herb is indispensable for the antidote, not to mention that Hua Lan also needs to prepare an antidote to prevent Qu Lanxiang.

Since she didn't want her to die, she must have a plan, and with the antidote to prevention, she can at least change from passive to active, or find out the truth.

Thinking like this, she asked: "Old man, Xinzhi can be picked on Fengqi Mountain, why can't the pharmacy buy it?" ”

"Gongzi doesn't know, this Xin Zhi is slightly toxic, and ordinary people may be impure in dispensing medicine, so the monarch has already made a decree that he must not buy and sell privately. Moreover, this herb is only needed by patients with special symptoms, and it is rarely used in prescriptions, and there are many alternative herbs, so you may wish to treat patients. Therefore, all the pharmacies in Da Zhou can't buy this flavored herb. ”

"I see."

Hua Lan nodded, it seems that it is not easy for ordinary people in Fengqi Mountain to pick Xin Zhi, so she asked: "Old man, if you say that picking is not allowed, can you have it when you go to Fengqi Mountain?" ”

"Childe doesn't know."

The old gentleman stroked his snow-white goatee again, smiled, and said, "It seems that the son is not very familiar with this place." ”

"Yes, don't hide it, Mr. Hana has only been in Kyoto City for a few days, but I didn't expect to encounter so many tricky things. Please also ask Mr. to give advice and guidance, Hua will be grateful. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the young man is polite."

The old gentleman smiled and nodded: "That's right, everyone in Kyoto City knows that Fengqi Mountain is a royal forbidden land, and only with the sign of Tai Hospital can you go to Qingfeng Temple to find the master of the temple, and you want to come here Xin Zhi." ”

He sighed, "It's not that the old decay poured cold water on the child, and now the son has no way to go to the hospital, I'm afraid that this medicine will have to find a substitute." ”

There are several substitutes for Fudi, but in order to have an accurate curative effect, it is necessary to have Xin Zhi.

Qingguimen is really extraordinary, this flavor medicine actually stumped Hua Lan.

The old gentleman saw that she was embarrassed, and wrote about the three flavors of herbs, jujubes, flowers, and cinnamon mushrooms.

Hua Lan understood, but shook her head, "Old gentleman, this antidote must be Xin Zhi, can the old gentleman help Hua to think of a way again?" Human life is at stake, is there a better way to pick this Xin Zhi? ”

Hua Lan said, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from her cuffs and handed them to the old gentleman.

The old gentleman waved his hand and refused: "The son is generous, he is not an ordinary person, but unfortunately the old man really can't help." Trafficking in Xin Zhi is a felony, punishable by exile or beheading. Childe still don't be embarrassed to get old. ”

Hua Lan didn't accept the cash ticket, and he couldn't force it, so he put the silver ticket away, paid the silver for the medicine, and asked the old gentleman to grab the herbs and leave the medicine shop.

It seems that he has to find King Shou'an, only he can find the certification documents of the Tai Hospital, and go to Fengqi Mountain to ask for Xin Zhi.

On the way back, Hua Lan's face was solemn, and the magpie didn't like to talk in the first place, but now it was even more silent.

If the expiration time of Qulan is not easy to detect, the time will not be very long.

Hua Lan put away the antidote and secretly made up her mind.

Back at the house, she secretly asked Hua Da to pay attention to the movements around the middle courtyard, and she and the magpie went back to their rooms to rest.

Hua Lan tossed in the middle of the night, naturally exhausted, and the person fell on the bed, and her eyelids fell.

How long she slept, she was groggy, and it wasn't until the spring silkworm in her ears screamed that she opened her eyes dimly.

"Master, it's not good, Gong Yin is poisoned!"
