Chapter 12: The Living and the Living
Mu Feng had been away from the valley for a few days, and in two days he would be able to reach Sunset City. On this day, the sun is in the sky, it is already early autumn, walking in the shade of the trees, making people feel refreshed. Mu Feng walked along the forest path in a comfortable mood, and occasionally saw some medicinal herbs, so he stopped to collect them or study the medicinal properties. He saw a small piece of medicinal herb, it was a hemostatic grass, and there was a layer of rust-colored powder on the back of the leaf, which had a good effect on stopping bleeding, and he took out the bamboo tube he carried with him, and prepared to go and collect some.
During the collection process, he found that there was a brown leaf that resembled dried bloodstains, and after careful identification, he found that it was human bloodstains, not animal bloodstains, and it had not dried for a long time, so he followed the bloodstains to search, and finally found a bloodstained and unconscious young man in a low-lying deep grass. Mu Feng flew past and landed beside the bloody young man in his twenties.
Mu Feng stretched out his hand to probe the injured young man's heartbeat, found that the person was still alive, and then grabbed the young man's wrist to concentrate on his pulse, and carefully checked the injuries on the young man's body. Mu Feng found that the young man's life was not in danger for the time being, so he looked around and found a suitable place for cultivation near the water source, and moved the young man over.
After Mu Feng carefully dealt with the injuries on the young man's body, he took out a small porcelain jar, boiled some minced meat soup with the dried meat he carried with him, and fed the young man to drink. Then he took out the silver needle and began to give the young man a blood drain. Mu Feng learned a set of acupuncture with Grandpa Baicao, called the Five Elements Needle, this set of acupuncture is based on Qi Yun Needle, which he only barely learned before, and it is extremely difficult to use.
But after some training in Xitan, Mu Feng's internal strength has increased greatly, and the true qi is flowing all over the body, practicing the nameless guiding body technique taught by Grandpa Baicao every day, and I feel that there is a kind of induction between heaven and earth that can only be understood and cannot be spoken. Every day, you can feel the true qi becoming more and more abundant. Now he has no pressure to carry the Five Elements Needle, and as his mind condenses, he seems to sense that the true qi is swimming in the patient's body through the silver needle, and his mind also shows the situation of the patient's internal vitality swimming in the meridians.
After the Mu Feng needle crossed the ditch, Zhongchong, Yongquan, and three miles, the patient slowly woke up, but because of excessive blood loss, he quickly fainted due to lack of energy. After Mu Feng confirmed that the patient was not in a coma due to *poisoning, he was relieved. After using a needle to help him continue to comb his meridians, he fed a pill that he carried with him to replenish his vitality. He read a book next to him and waited for the young man to wake up naturally.
A few hours later, the young man woke up faintly, looked at a friendly young man sitting beside him, and asked, "Where am I? Who are you?" Mu Feng put down the book in his hand, and then looked at the young man who woke up and said: "This is on the path leading to Sunset City, my name is Mu Feng, and I am from a valley in the southwest. Your injuries are serious and need a good rest. ”
In fact, Mu Feng had long known that this young man had woken up a quarter of an hour ago, and this young man was breathing deeply and regularly when he was asleep. After waking up, he didn't open his eyes quickly, but his breathing was a little cautious, and sometimes there were brief pauses with inexplicable emotions. It's just that the young man doesn't want to "wake up", and Mu Feng doesn't break it. The young man looked at the clear eyes of the young man and the smile that naturally flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't help but let down his guard, and he told himself that this young man had no hostility towards him.
Then the young man also smiled and said to Mu Feng, "You saved me?" For the life-saving benefactor, anyone will be grateful from the bottom of their hearts. Mu Feng said: "I am a doctor, and it is my duty to save lives and help the wounded. The young man's eyes lit up, and he asked a little eagerly: "You, you are a pharmacist?" Mu Feng frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he asked a little puzzled: "What is a pharmacist?" The young man was stunned, a little puzzled, how could this young man ask like this, didn't he save him?
Despite his bewilderment, the young man still explained with respect: "A pharmacist is a person who uses all things in heaven and earth to heal people's pain. They are best at alchemy. Mu Feng thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "I'm a pharmacist." The tone was uncertain, like a question, like a statement. Mu Feng thought to himself that he could use all things in heaven and earth to use medicine, what kind of cultivation would this take, and how high his knowledge was! The young man asked directly: "Can you cure diseases?"
Mu Feng said with a smile on his face, "Yes." Saying this word, Mu Feng used an extremely affirmative tone, he studied medicine with Grandpa Baicao, and had a very high understanding and insight into the human body, the operation of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and the five elements. The young man struggled to get up with the support of Mu Feng. Then he knelt down and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for saving your life!" Mu Feng was startled, I thought you were getting up to do something, it turned out that you were kneeling for me.
Mu Feng waved his hand again and again and said, "This can't be helped, this can't be helped." As I said, it's my duty to save lives, you don't have to. So saying, he stepped forward to pick up the young man. But the young man didn't want to get up, and still endured the pain and said: "I thought I would die in this sunset forest and no one knows, it was Engong who saved me, and if Engong is sent in the future, he will die in Xia Yuan Qingshan!"
Mu Feng looked at the young man in front of him and said, "You get up." Yuan Qingshan got up, Mu Fengyou helped him lie down and said: "Don't move for the time being, lest the wound crack, I will give you a medicine powder to stop bleeding and build muscles, and the scab will heal soon, but the wounds in the body must be repaired slowly by the body." After thinking about it, he asked, "Where did you come from, why did you get hurt? Your wound was stabbed with a sharp weapon." Fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital point, otherwise it would have been powerless. ”
Yuan Qingshan looked apologetic and said frankly: "Engong, I shouldn't have hidden anything in the future, but it's a matter of confidentiality, can I tell you later?" Mu Feng smiled: "It's okay, I'm just asking casually." You're going to have to recuperate for a while. "I'm going to rush back to Sun City at once. Yuan Qingshan's tone was anxious. Mu Feng said: "You shouldn't be messing around at this time, since your matter is urgent, I'll take you to Sunset City, I'll also go to Sunset City." Yuan Qingshan said happily: "Thank you so much." ”
So, Mu Feng made a simple back frame, and after tying and fixing Yuan Qingshan, his luck flew away. I saw Mu Feng's feet hitting the ground continuously, and his body was like flying, even if he was carrying Yuan Qingshan, who was more than one hundred and fifty pounds, it was effortless. Every time he landed, his body floated forward four or five feet. Yuan Qingshan sat on the back frame gratefully, and waited until Mu Feng floated up, there was a sound of wind in his ears, he looked at the trees that kept moving away, and was shocked, how could he not imagine that Engong had such foot strength, even if it was not much better than a take-off bird. "Eun Gong, good skills!"
Mu Feng said a little slowly: "You don't want to be called by Engong, I feel a little awkward, if you don't dislike it, just call your little brother, I'll call you Brother Yuan, okay?" Yuan Qingshan still wanted to excuse himself, but Mu Feng was bound to be like this, so he no longer commensurate himself with Engong. In this way, the two feel a lot more cordial, and they get along more casually.
"Brother Yuan, what are the pharmacists you are talking about? Can you tell me in detail?" "Brother Xian doesn't know, okay, I'll tell you." According to the different levels of pills that can be refined, they can be divided into pharmacists, pharmacists, medicine kings, medicine sects, and medicine saints. Pharmacists and pharmacists can be divided into upper, middle and lower grades. The elixirs they refine on weekdays can be used to heal the people's suffering, and the high-grade pharmacists can refine some elixirs that are not highly effective and can promote the cultivation of martial artists.
However, above the Medicine King, there are nine small grades, like our Fallen Leaf City Pharmacist Alliance, there is a three-tripod medicine king, and two one-ding medicine kings. The Medicine King and above are not only strong in force, but also can refine a wide range of pills, for example, where I am, I will get a myelin-washing pill every month. "What is the Cleansing Pill and what are its effects?" "The Cleansing Pill is used to purify the body and eliminate chronic diseases. Generally, it is used by martial artists above the Yijin realm. Mu Feng thought about it, and through the medicinal effect, he roughly confirmed which herbs were needed to refine the Purifying Pill.
If a pharmacist knew that Mu Feng could know the prescription based on the efficacy of the elixir, he would definitely be shocked and pimpled, is this still a human being? Mu Feng found that the more he knew, the more he didn't know. So he asked Yuan Qingshan to introduce the Medicine King Medicine Sect or something. In this world, people will refine pills to cure diseases, and they can refine whatever medicine is needed to cure diseases. This is somewhat similar to the granules of the West now, but the ingredients are different, using herbs such as plants, trees, gold and stones, and the refining methods are different.
Medicine Sects are only available in big cities or great families or sects that have been inherited for thousands of years, and they are generally enshrined-level existences, they are generally strong people above the Huagang Realm, and only the strong people above the Huagang Realm can refine those elixirs of the flesh and bones of the living dead. However, it is not possible for any powerhouse in the Huagang Realm to become an existence like the Medicine Sect, because the Medicine Sect is below refining the elixir with the fire that exists in nature. However, the Medicine Sect must use the true element of its own fire attribute as a guide, and the void becomes fire, in order to refine those anti-heaven pills. As for the Medicine Saint, it only exists in legends, and such legendary characters are all gods and masters. It's also some old immortal or little immortal monsters who rarely appear. Those elixir-like superlative elixirs are too rebellious, and ordinary people can hardly imagine what form those elixirs exist in and what kind of medicinal effects they have.
There is such a legend in the pharmacist class: there is an old immortal in the pharmacist class, he has a cute little granddaughter, and the old immortal responds to his little granddaughter's needs. One day, the little granddaughter said, "Grandpa, grandpa, people want a little dog to fly around in the sky on their backs." Would you like to refine one for others?" So the old immortal went out to find some other old immortal, fought a few times, and came back with some looting. Then he threw it into the artifact Red Cantis Ding, and then the old immortal was struck by the thunder and turned to ashes, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
After going through all kinds of difficulties, in the end, the old immortal took out a ball of light from the red mantis ding, and took out a drop of essence blood from his granddaughter, and after integrating into the ball of light, he asked the little granddaughter to make a wish for what kind of puppy. The little granddaughter made a wish with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, she saw a cute puppy floating in the air. This little dog has no consciousness of its own, but it is a highly intelligent creature, and the little girl will do whatever she tells him to do. The size is as good as it gets, but the changes are unpredictable.
The little girl made the puppy bigger all day long, and the dog flew around on her back, and a year later, the little girl who had not practiced at all a year ago would be able to fly with the puppy in her arms. Then he went around causing trouble and was called Little Immortal. People who heard this story for the first time didn't believe it, so let's not talk about the dog, let's just say that the girl, how could she have the cultivation of the Imperial Qi Realm at such a young age? How could it take a year to play with the puppy and reach the Imperial Qi Realm?
Some people think, "O heaven, O earth, are you playing with me?" I have worked hard day and night in my cultivation, but I have not succeeded in gathering qi until now. Someone thinks: Ah····· Let me die, let me die. Some people think: I want to be a little girl, I want to be a little girl, I want an old grandfather, I want a puppy. In the end, no matter what the people who heard the story thought, they were unwilling to do so, and they couldn't get their wish. They agreed: it's a myth and a legend, no, it's simply who's dreaming, damn, who's dreaming!
In this way, Mu Feng listened to Yuan Qingshan, a half-witted man who was not a beginner, talk about the legend of the pharmacist or the medicine saint, the medicine sect or something. Hurry and slow to Sunset City, because Mu Feng no longer messed with flowers and grass on the way, and talked with the flowers and plants about medicinal properties, life ideals, etc., so it only took them half a day to see the sunset city where giant beasts crawled in the west of the sunset forest.
