Chapter 25: Exchanges and Lectures (I)
After leaving the square, Liu Zixuan said to Mu Feng and Qingluan: "Thank you two for your help, under Liu Zixuan..." Today, I took Brother Mufeng and them to see the ancestor. β
Liu Zixuan said: "It turned out to be a guest of the ancestor, Xiaoya quickly took the guest to see the ancestor, don't be delayed because of it." Xiaoya said: "It's okay, we just happened to pass by." Mu Feng followed Yuan Xiaoya and Liu Zixuan towards the apse with the medicinal herbs, and Yuan Xiaoya said unhappily: "Jia Shixun is really a bad guy, and he deliberately looks for Senior Brother Liu's stubble every time." β
Qingluan said: "The bad guy can't eat it, and if you eat it, you will have diarrhea." "This is when I bought tea eggs for her today, the boss took out the eggs that had been processed, and when he was about to put them in the tea soup to boil, he found that an egg had deteriorated, so he said: The bad eggs can't be eaten, and they will have diarrhea if they eat it. At that time, Qingluan asked what diarrhea was, and everyone explained, but they didn't expect Qingluan to remember.
Mu Feng and the others were stunned and laughed. Qingluan looked puzzled, what was wrong with them? Why did they suddenly laugh: "Did I say something wrong?" Mu Feng said: "You're right, the villain can't eat it, you have to pick it out, but this villain refers to people." Qingluan asked puzzledly, "Isn't the villain an egg?
Mu Feng explained: "People and things in the world can be divided into good and bad, and at one time, one thing can be best reflected. Just as an egg is a bad egg, then if a person's essence becomes bad, then a bad person is a bad person, and both a bad person and a bad guy belong to the essence of a bad person, so a bad guy can also refer to a person. Qingluan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "What is the essence of man?" Mu Feng found that there would be more and more questions if he continued to explain, so he said: "The essence of man is the same as the essence of things, this involves the origin of the name of people or things, it is difficult to say it in three words, let's talk about it later." Qingluan took a bite of the ripe plum, oh, and stopped dwelling.
Xiaoya helped Liu Zixuan send the medicinal materials to the pharmacy and took Mu Feng and Qingluan straight to the apse, or the Xuanyuan Pavilion: "Master, Master, I brought Brother Mufeng and them over to see you." Before he stepped into the pavilion, Xiaoya's voice came in. At this time, there was a cough in the house, and Xiao Ya was about to continue, when she heard this cough, she immediately walked forward lightly, and met a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance at the door.
Xiao Ya immediately saluted: "Master is well!" The middle-aged man was dressed in a black shirt, elegantly dressed, and his demeanor was calm, giving people the feeling of being meticulous. After seeing the middle-aged man hum, he came to Mu Feng's side, hugged his fists and said, "In the Lower Sunset City, the deacon of the Medicine King Palace, Xu Tianfang, the family teacher is in the house, please let Mr. Xiao in." "This middle-aged man turned out to be Ren Lao's disciple, and he should have come out to greet Mu Feng in place of Ren Lao. Mu Feng returned the salute and said: "I don't dare to greet you, the kid is afraid." β
The middle-aged man is one of the two Yiding Medicine Kings in Sunset City, and now he is about to enter the realm of Erding, and he is the proud disciple of Ren Lao. Fang Cai was talking to Ren Lao in the house, and when he heard Xiaoya's call, Ren Lao asked him to come out to welcome the wind. After Ren Lao came back, Xu Tianfang often heard Ren Lao mention Mu Feng, and he praised Mu Feng very much between words. Originally, Xu Tianfang thought that Mu Feng was a master, but when he saw it today, he found that he was a beautiful young man, and he couldn't help but be a little contemptuous. However, the teacher is in his body, so he is very polite to invite him.
Now seeing that this young man's words and deeds are all polite, he sighed in his heart: "Well, words and deeds are courteous, and there is everyone's style." Then Xu Tianfang said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao is welcome, the family teacher is waiting for Mr. Xiao in the house." Mu Feng followed the middle-aged man into the house and saw Ren Lao standing in the back room. Mu Feng immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Ren Lao is well." Ren Lao laughed and said: "Mu Feng Xiaoyou, I have been waiting for you to come to the Medicine King Palace for a walk, there are no outsiders here, don't be polite." β
Ren Lao took Mu Feng's hand and came to the table, and everyone sat down together. Xiao Ya stood respectfully behind the master, and Qingluan said, "Sister Xiao Ya, you can sit too." Xiaoya replied: "Sister Qingluan, I'll just stand." Ren naturally said: "Xiaoya, you go make a pot of tea, and then take Qingluan out for a walk." β
Xiaoya was ordered to go out to make tea. Ren Lao pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "This is my disciple Xu Tianfang, you can call him Big Brother Tianfang." Mu Feng clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Tianfang, under Mu Feng." Xu Tianfang also hugged his fists and said: "Brother Mufeng, don't be polite, I heard from the family teacher that you are very talented and attained in refining medicine, and we will learn more in the future." Mu Feng said: "Ren Lao praised, please give more guidance from Brother Tianfang." β
Ren Lao laughed again: "My disciple is a medicine idiot, and he wants to learn from anyone he meets." Mu Feng Xiaoyou don't mind. Xu Tianfang smiled a little when he said this, and reached out to scratch the back of his head embarrassedly and said: "Liu Xiaoxi said something about you waking up Li'er girl with your tutor on the mountain, and I heard it itching in my heart, I have long wanted to see you, how can I not get out of the daily affairs of the Medicine King Palace, you can come today, the opportunity is rare, so I want to talk to you." β
Mu Feng also found it interesting, this Brother Xu is really a person with a hearty personality: "The younger brother is shallow, so I have to ask the eldest brother for advice in the future." After a while, Xiaoya came in with a pot of tea and several cups. Qingluan was already a little impatient, and when she saw Xiaoya coming in, she immediately stepped forward: "Sister Xiaoya, what kind of tea is this?" Xiaoya came to the table, poured the tea and said, "This is Yunwu tea, it tastes very fragrant." Qingluan took a sip of the cup and said, "It's delicious." Xiaoya said: "There are more delicious things, go, I'll take you to drink." β
Qingluan immediately came and said with interest: "Really, let's go, Brother Mufeng, Sister Xiaoya and I are going to drink something delicious." As he spoke, he pulled Xiaoya out, but the cup in his hand was not put down, and he left with Xiaoya with the cup, and Xu Tianfang was a little stunned: Why did you leave with a cup of tea? . Ren Lao was a little happy today and laughed. Mu Feng also smiled and said: "Qingluan, this girl, that's it, she is completely a foodie." Ren Lao also said: "This little girl is the same as Li'er, very cute." Xu Tianfang also smiled and said: "It's really innocent, naΓ―ve." β
"Brother Mu Feng, have you ever encountered the assessment of the junior disciples all the way today, what do you think?" Xu Tianfang asked with a smile on his face. Mu Feng said: "Vibrant, it's really unheard of, unseen." Xu Tianfang laughed and said, "I think when I entered the Medicine King Hall for the first time, I was also shocked by this scene. Then I decided to become a pharmacist, and that was when I knew that I would definitely be a pharmacist, and I wanted to Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· in the first place." Seeing that the two juniors were talking harmoniously, and seeing that the apprentice had a tendency to boast, he interrupted: "I don't know who once said that in this life, I only want to be a general, lead the general, and protect the territory and the people." Seeing that Ren Lao was exposed, Xu Tianfang stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "I joked when I was a child, the master should not make fun of the apprentice." Everyone laughed when they said this.
Ren Lao said: "Mu Feng Xiaoyou is very involved in the medical Tao, taking advantage of tomorrow's sacrifice ceremony, it is also an opportunity to comment on the younger generation's one-year practice, can Xiaoyou tell us what medical Tao is?" Xu Tianfang also heard from Ren Lao that Mu Feng was different from ordinary pharmacists, and immediately echoed: "Brother Mu Feng, don't shirk, I also want to ask Gao Lun." Mu Feng said: "Elder Ren and Brother Xu look up to me, the medical path is vast, and I have just started." But seeing that everyone only knows medicine but not medicine, I am not afraid to sacrifice ugliness, so let's learn a thing or two with you. β
Then Xu Tianfang introduced the schedule of tomorrow's ceremony, and also discussed the details of related matters. Before you know it, it's sunset. The old, middle and young people saw that the afterglow of the sunset filled the house, so they put away the conversation. Everyone walked out of the house together and enjoyed the evening breeze. Xu Tianfang left alone, probably to set up a feast. After a while, he returned and took Ren Lao and Mu Feng to a living room.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Qingluan sitting at the table, staring at the dishes on the table. There are not many dishes, five dishes and one soup, all of which are seasonal delicacies. These dishes are the recipes that Ren Lao occasionally made during his treatment of Tang Li, which is very timely and very healthy. Qingluan looked up and saw that everyone was coming, and immediately shouted: "Come on, everyone, these dishes are so fragrant, they make people drool when they look at them." Seeing Qingluan's impatient appearance, except for Xu Tianfang, everyone laughed. After everyone took their seats, Qingluan moved a chair and put it beside him and shouted, "Sister Xiaoya, you can sit too." Ren naturally said: "Xiaoya, don't be formal, your master is happy today, let's sit down and eat together." "Xu Tianfang occasionally looks like a child in front of Ren Lao, but he is indeed an out-and-out elder in front of Yuan Xiaoya. Yuan Xiaoya felt that Ren was naturally amiable, so she was not very afraid of her master, but she was very in awe of her master. Xu Tianfang spoke: "Xiaoya, you can also sit down and take care of Qingluan." β
After the meal, Qingluan touched his slightly bulging belly and said, "Stomach, you see, I am so good to you, I have stuffed so many delicious foods to you, don't have diarrhea in the future." Everyone saw Qingluan's satisfied look, innocent and cute, and everyone laughed again. Even Xu Tianfang laughed out loud. Then Mu Feng, Qingluan and Xiaoya said goodbye to Ren Tiantian and Xu Tianfang, and left the Medicine King Palace and walked towards Yuan's mansion. Mu Feng originally lived in the Yuan Mansion, and before leaving the City Lord's Mansion today, he also said that he would temporarily live in the Yuan Mansion. The city lord's mansion is a city with strict guards, and it is indeed inconvenient to live. Tang Tianyuan and his wife knew that they didn't do much to keep it, anyway, the Tang family and the Yuan family were friends in the world, and Mu Feng lived the same wherever he lived.
On the way, Mu Feng asked Xiao Ya why she was so in awe of Brother Xu Tianfang, and Xiao Ya said: "I don't know why, there are only two people in this city who make me have to be obedient." It feels like nothing can satisfy them. One is my mother, the other is my master, oh, by the way, my master is my uncle. My mother's name is clear. Mu Feng laughed and said: "This is probably the depth of love, and the responsibility is keen." "Well, it should be so, I had a serious illness when I was a child, and I almost died, and my uncle took my mother to a place, and then he revived me. But they wouldn't tell me exactly where they took me. β
When Mu Feng heard this, he felt that Xiaoya's uncle Xu Tianfang and his mother Xu Tianqing had no simple origins. Mu Feng heard Grandpa Baicao say that there are many forbidden places in this world, which are controlled and guarded by some families and sects. These forbidden places can be a source of chaos or a source of goody, but little is known to the world. And those families and sects are all lineages and sects that have been passed down for a long time.
