Chapter 52: The Medicine Garden

"What is this place?"

Before I got out of the cave, the first thing that caught my eye was a large grove garden full of dry grass or yellow leaves, and there were some wooden boards scattered in it, and some herb names were written on the boards.

"This is a medicine garden in our Tilting Maple Pavilion, which is specially used to grow some mountain grass herbs, and there are hundreds of ...... here."

Qi Ying's eyes glanced at it, according to the signs on the wooden board, there were indeed many types, there were more than a dozen of them in her sight, and there was a vast expanse in the distance. It's just that although this medicine garden is not small, there are hundreds of herbs planted in it, and it can be seen that the number of each is not much.

"Your Tilting Maple Pavilion is surrounded by mountains and forests, it is located in a remote area and few people come and go, and there are many mountains nearby, there must be a lot of medicinal herbs on the mountain for you to pick, why do you specially open a medicine garden to plant?"

"You don't know this, we will occasionally accept some disciples in the Tilting Maple Pavilion, and new disciples need to learn to distinguish herbs, but the self-growing medicinal herbs in the mountains are scattered, and it is not only troublesome and troublesome to find the same, but also difficult and dangerous; Therefore, we specially found these herbs and transplanted them into this medicine garden, which is specially for new disciples to learn to distinguish herbs, not just for curing diseases......"

"I see!" Qi Ying suddenly realized, reached out and touched the long wooden board in front of him, saw the word 'angelica' written on the board, and glanced down at this small piece of land planted with angelica, and only saw scattered rotten stems and leaves. Qi Ying bent down to pick up a withered stem and shook it, muttering to himself, "Angelica will not return, and the wife will remarry ......"

"What Angelica does not return?"

Xiao Luan didn't know what Qi Ying was talking about at all, and when she heard her catchy reading, she asked curiously.

"Didn't you learn these herbs? Why don't you know this? ”

Facing Qi Ying's disdainful eyes, Xiao Luan looked puzzled, what they learned didn't seem to match her!

"Alright! Seeing that you definitely don't know the origin of the name Angelica, my sister should open up some knowledge for you today and tell you a little story....." Qi Ying shook it proudly in front of Xiao Luan with a dry stem, "Legend has it that there was once a newlywed husband who wanted to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and he said to his new wife that he would come back in three years, but who knew that he would not come back for three years." Her wife suffered from blood and qi loss due to longing and depression, and later had to remarry someone else. But he knew that the husband came back later, but he had no choice but to make a mistake, and remorse was useless, so he had to use the collected herbal roots to send to his wife to treat her illness, and he actually cured his wife's disease of loss of qi and blood. In order to learn the lesson of 'Angelica does not return, and the wife remarries', he named the herb 'Angelica'. ”

"You know a lot!" Xiao Luan was a little surprised that Qi Ying knew so much about herbs, and his bright eyes flickered, "Do you want to become a disciple of our Tilting Maple Pavilion?" If you beg me, I can reluctantly accept you as my first disciple......." As he spoke, Xiao Luan clasped his hands on his chest and touched his chin with his right hand, probably wanting to stroke his beard like their old pavilion master, but his chin was bare, and he had no beard to touch, so he had to put his hand down. Those dark eyes flashed with a cunning light, and there was a boastful posture of 'there is no such shop in this village', and the small abacus in his heart was crackling, thinking that if Qi Ying became his apprentice, he would have a lot of benefits in the future. However, this was just his wishful thinking, Qi Ying was something he could easily fool.

"It's you!" Qi Ying's face was full of surprise and there was nowhere to put it, and he looked at Xiao Luan in front of him in disbelief who had no self-knowledge and could boast of being so shameless, "You, a person who doesn't even know such a common herb as 'Angelica', what face can you be my master?" ......”

was squeezed so mercilessly, Xiao Luan was not angry, thinking that the so-called small intolerable will make a big plan, he endures! Although the little caution in his heart is not a big plan!

"You can't say that, our disciples of the Tilting Maple Pavilion are not just those who want to, it depends on chance! Moreover, in our Tilting Maple Pavilion, the level is not only set by seeing how many medicines can be understood, but by virtue of the attainment of the song of silence. Herbs aren't my forte, but I can teach you the Ballad of Silence! Xiao Luan still didn't give up on Qi Ying's earnest inducement, trying to dig out some more strengths to lure Qi Ying, but no matter how hard he tried to dig in this regard, he couldn't dig up much longer!

Qi Ying raised his head and rolled his eyes at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, "The knowledge and cognition of herbs is the foundation of medical skills!" As far as I know, the attainment of the ballad depends on the integration of medical skills and piano music! You said that you want to teach me the ballad of solitude, not to mention your piano music and music, first talk about how high your medical skills can be for a person who can't learn herbal medicine? How accomplished is the song of solitude? ”

This kid wants to fool her, and she's a little tender!

Shoot yourself in the foot! Xiao Luan had a profound experience at this moment. He never expected that not only could he not fool Qi Ying, but he was also poked by her fiercely, but it is conceivable that the county lord of the Xuanjin Heng Mansion in front of him, the princess Qi Ying of the Beiyuan Su Palace, not only did he not know anything about the ballad, but he knew a lot about it! can only blame himself for his clumsiness, provoked people who don't understand, and even his little tricks have been dug up to the ground.

Poked in the sore spot by Qi Ying, Xiao Luan's young handsome face with fine skin and tender flesh turned red, and he didn't dare to brag about himself easily, but just coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"But" Qi Ying's lips opened slightly, and his bright eyes turned left and right twice unhurriedly, looking at Xiao Luan with a sly look.

There is a turnaround! Xiao Luan's deflated little heart instantly beat happily, his eyes flashed brightly, and he stared at Qi Ying expectantly, having already thrown away the little arrogance he had previously had.

Looking at Xiao Luan's expectant and eager look on his face, Qi Ying was very satisfied, "I see that you have wonderful muscles and bones, you should be a manufacturable material, and I reluctantly consider accepting you as my apprentice......"
