Chapter 61 Go up to Taihang Mountain to collect medicine

Zhang Guangming took the professor's suggestion and walked more than ten miles to the Xinhua bookstore in the county seat and bought many books on traditional Chinese medicine.

After returning home and studying carefully, he decided to go to the Taihang Mountains in Shangnan, forty or fifty kilometers away, to collect medicine.

However, he knew very little about Chinese medicine, so he consulted Professor Kwok for advice.

Professor Guo said, "Why don't I take a few of you to Taihang Mountain for a walk, there are a lot of Chinese herbs there, and I know better."

Zhang Guangming said: "I am more familiar with it.

One year, the leader asked me to go to Taihang to cultivate fruit trees, sweet potatoes, and millet..... Work on the cultivation of new varieties of seeds. ”

Professor Guo said: "When I arrived there that year, there happened to be an old Chinese medicine expert from Beijing who was doing field research there.

I consulted the old Chinese medicine doctor a lot of Chinese medicine knowledge, and learned that a lot of Chinese herbal medicine has a significant effect on the prevention and treatment of human diseases! ”

Zhang Guangming hurriedly said: "Then let's call Shang Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu to go to Taihang Mountain to collect medicinal materials to treat and prevent diseases of poultry and livestock,"

Professor Guo readily agreed.

Before dawn the next day, Li Yue'e got up and gave some vegetable boxes to the four people who were going to Taihang, and filled four bottles of warm boiled water.

She said: This vegetable bun and water are essential things for going out.

Zhang Guangming drove the carriage with Professor Guo, and Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu were going to northern Henan and southern Taihang to collect traditional Chinese medicine.

Along the way, they chatted with great interest.

Zhang Guangming took the horsewhip and shouted at the livestock, "Oh, gotcha, drive!" ”

The horse "croaked" and trotted all the way.

Professor Guo asked some of the two young people about their parents' work.

Zhang Zhishu suddenly remembered something, so he changed the conversation and asked, "You two young people don't know yet, right?"

Our county seat here is a famous cultural city with a long history!

According to the records of the county: 'It was established in the second year of Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (205 BC) and began to be set up as Ji County, which was successively a state, a road, a government and a road system. Our county is known as "Nantong Ten Provinces, North Gong Shenjing"!

Walking inside from here is the "birthplace of the Lin family", that is, Lin Jian, the son of Bigan, is the ancestor of the Lin family. ”

"Really?" The two young men asked in surprise.

"Remove the word "yes!" Professor Guo answered, "Our county is full of outstanding people and talents!"

Zhang Zhishu continued to say, "Isn't it, there is a "Xiangquan Temple" built by the Northern Qi Dynasty, and "Taigong's hometown" Jiang Taigong's hometown is in our county. ”

The two young men looked surprised.

"There are "Wangjing Tower" and "Niangniang Tomb" built in the Ming Dynasty, "there are Happy Valley, Yunmeng Mountain, etc., there is the first military school in our country on Yunmeng Mountain, which was founded by Mr. Guigu during the Warring States Period.

He is a singer, he has more than 500 disciples, and there are a few people who must have heard of the dominating territory and galloping across the country: Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Wei Yi, Su Qin, Mao Sui and other wise and profound people who can win thousands of miles! ”

The two educated youths were dumbfounded.

Qin Chun said with a surprised expression on his face: It turns out that these famous military strategists and diplomats in the Warring States Period actually learned the skills from the famous teacher Mr. Guiguzi in Yunmeng here!

The reason why it is said that famous teachers produce high apprentices!

Just like our Teacher Zhang and Teacher Guo are both famous teachers.

Qin Chun looked at Zhang Guangming and Professor Guo and said.

Zhang Guangming said humbly: Where do I dare to compare with Mr. Guigu, I am 108,000 miles worse than him!

Qin Chun continued the topic just now and said: "Although the three of us can't become famous teachers and apprentices who are well-known throughout the country like them, it's not bad that we can solve the problem of food and clothing for the toiling masses with a hundred times our efforts!" ”

A joking remark made everyone laugh.

Zhang Guangming said excitedly, "Oh, the Yunmeng Mountain in front is almost here, and when it arrives, I will tell you."

Let me tell you next, there is also a Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty built in 1587 with the inscription "Confucius Hitting the Chime", which is the first tablet of Chinese sword carving.

There are also bullet marks left on the wall of the "Zhenguo Tower" built in the Ming Dynasty, which seem to make people return to the battlefield filled with gunsmoke......"

"Oh yes? There are so many places of interest in your county? It is really a famous cultural ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years! ”

He added, "Let's get down to business."

If you want to talk about Yunmengshan, I have to say the book "Romance of the Gods".

Oh, have you two young people seen it? ”

"I haven't seen it." Both said at the same time, "But I know the story." ”

Zhang Guangming gushed about the history and culture of the county: "Then I will tell you two the story in the book "Romance of the Gods": The Battle of Muye happened to us back then.

And among them, the loyal bones of the famous loyal minister Bigan are also buried in my county.

What touches people - the grass growing around the graveyard of Bigan has no heart, and the trees have no heart.

Let the people of the world admire the magic of nature!

It seems that the heavens and the earth have a spirit to grow together to commemorate this loyal minister! ”

The two young men widened their eyes and asked in surprise, "Is it true?" Is there such a strange thing?

You can continue to talk about that branch book. ”

"yes, let's talk about it." The two intellectuals showed great interest in this story.

Zhang Zhishu also continued with great interest, it is said that at the end of the Yin Shang Dynasty 3,000 years ago, Jiang Ziya tirelessly studied the relationship between ancient and modern military warfare and politics.

He is well aware of the evolution of this relationship, and after years of tireless research, Jiang Ziya can be said to be full of economic prosperity and is respected by people as having the ability to "warp the heavens and latitudes".

Jiang Ziya does have great ambitions, and he is determined to serve the country.

But what he saw was that the king only knew arrogance and lasciviousness every day - exterminating human nature, dissecting women and digging babies, and cutting off legs and marrows.

After Jiang Ziya heard this, he angrily left Shang and came to the shore of Weishui in the Zhou (Western Zhou) to fish with a pure heart.

He knew that Ji Chang 'loved the people and worked diligently for the people', so he decided to take refuge in him.

One day, Xibohou Jichang came here to hunt and met Jiang Ziya who was concentrating on fishing, and the two met and became confidants.

So the two of them fell in love with each other.

Jiang Ziya talked about the trend of the world, and talked about the policy of governing the country and rejuvenating the country in great detail, Ji Chang had a great sense of admiration for this old man, and he admired this person's high talent and erudition.

He named Jiang Ziyazun as a national teacher and let him assist him in charge of the country's politics and military.

Jiang Ziya later helped Ji Chang's son Ji Fawu Wang to defeat the Emperor and succeeded in one fell swoop.

"Ah, Mrs. Jiang really deserves to be a famous military strategist in my country!" Qin Chun praised.

Li Zhongqiu said: "Mrs. Jiang is really amazing! ”

Both of them admired Jiang Ziya's military talents. ”

Professor Guo added: "Also, the two daughters of the king are also buried in two villages in my county. ”

"Really?" The two young men asked.

"Well, yes, our teacher is right." Zhang Zhishu said, "One is Princess Ziying.

Ziying kindly and bluntly admonished the king's father, and she also said: "Father, you should not ignore the fact that the people have suffered from droughts and floods for many years, the people are starving all over the wilderness, and the magnificent situation of corpses and bones piled up in the mountains should not be ......"

The vicious Daji didn't listen to Ziying's words before he finished speaking, and he bewitched in front of King Xu, and cunningly whispered a lot of bad things about Ziying in front of King Xu.

The king listened to Daji's slander and abandoned Princess Ziying in the west mountain of Tangzhuang in my county.

Because she didn't eat or drink, and was riddled with diseases from the wind and rain, the helpless Princess Ziying was starved to death in a cave in Xishan!"

The two young men said indignantly:

"The behavior of the king and Daji is really a disaster for the country and the people." Qin Chun said indignantly.

"And what about the other daughter of the king?" Li Zhongqiu asked hurriedly.

Zhang Guangming said mysteriously, "Leave a suspense for the two of you for the time being, and I'll tell you two when the medicine is collected." ”

The horse seemed to be listening intently to the story, and its ears were cocked and its steps were light and slow.

Zhang Guangming patted the black horse's back and shouted, "Boom!" The big black horse stomped on the ground and trotted forward.

Professor Guo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Let me tell you two about other places of interest in our county." ”

The two apprentices said with great interest: "Teacher, say quickly, speak quickly." ”

Professor Guo said: "There are '72 alleys' and '32 streets' in the county, and each of the monuments has a thick history.

I heard my father say that during the War of Resistance Against People, the Japanese invaded our county seat, but as soon as they broke into the alley of the county seat, it was like walking into a maze array, and they couldn't get out of it when they turned around......

The four masters and apprentices chatted and laughed, and everyone saw the verdant green of the towering South Taihang that stretched for 800 miles, enjoying the scenery on the side of the road all the way:

The murmuring green water flows endlessly, and the terraced fields are strong and fat.

Patches of wildflowers are fragrant, and sunflowers welcome the rising sun.

The ears and ears of sorghum are red and hot, and the cliff lady is busy cutting leeks.

"Wow, the mountains and waters here are even more beautiful!"

Li Zhongqiu pointed to the green mountains and green waters, and then pointed to the slopes next to the steep cliffs and waterfalls, looking at the beautiful girls who were busy cutting leeks and praised with a smile.

Qin Chun said: "Yes, the Grand Canyon of the 800-mile South Taihang has beautiful scenery, ancient caves and villages, and clear water, which makes the beauty of things here more beautiful!"

After walking for a while, the professor pointed to a road to the east and said, Look here and there, it is the ancient military academy Yunmeng Mountain.

There are many poems written by famous literati and scholars.

Let's take a look when we have time......

The two intellectuals were extremely excited when they heard this.

Both of them said, we are looking forward to it, and we must take the time to go to Yunmeng to see the mysterious place of the famous teacher who taught the apprentice!

Professor Guo also said that you should go and see what kind of magnificent poems those great writers have left behind since they came!

Zhang Guangming said thoughtfully: "I think Mr. Guigu is not only interested in the beautiful scenery here, but what are the other reasons?"

Then you will have to wait for you to visit to realize!
