Chapter Seventy-Eight: Xiaotan Mountain

After my tireless efforts, I finally explained to this little girl the concept of raw donkey blood.

Then, the little girl left, and when she left, she looked back at me step by step, and her eyes were as if she were looking at a neurological patient who had run out of a neurological hospital.

Later, the little girl called the owner of the restaurant. Just when I thought I was unlucky and thought I had to explain again, the boss just glanced at me and simply asked people to go to the slaughterhouse to buy donkey blood.

Looking at the appearance of this boss, it seems that he is a believer of the two Taoist and Buddhist families, with a string of sandalwood bracelets in his hand, and a natural and elegant temperament

After hearing that I was looking for the blood of the black donkey, he didn't say a word, and asked the manager of the store to go to the slaughterhouse to buy a donkey and come back.

Later, after small talk, I learned that this boss was not only a Taoist believer, but also had an uncle, who was a person in the industry. And he has been with this uncle for a while, and he also has a slight understanding of Taoist affairs, although he doesn't know what I do with the blood of the black donkey, but he subconsciously thinks that I bought it to do things.

I didn't explain too much about this, but just laughed and bought a bag of donkey blood.

In order to prevent the donkey's blood from drying up, I immediately took a taxi back to the hotel after buying the donkey's blood, poured the donkey blood into a basin, took out the rope I had bought, and soaked it in it.

After that, I went to the fat man's room and found Uncle Qingsong's Huaguang Dharma Seal in Uncle Qingsong's suitcase, and after the rope was soaked, I took it out and put it in the corridor to dry.

The next morning, after packing my toys, rope, food, and some things to survive in the wild, I took my luggage, hailed a taxi, and started heading to Xiaotan Mountain.

This time, I went up the mountain alone. In addition to the fat man and Yuan Qiu, Xiao Pang was also left in the hospital by me to protect Uncle Qing Song, the fat man was seriously injured, Yuan Qiu has no mana, there is a strange guy like Xiao Pang, I will be relieved a lot.

The car slowly drove to the foot of Xiaotan Mountain, and with my baggage on my back, I stepped out of the taxi.

The age of Siu Tam Shan is very old, it and Tai Tam Shan were originally two small islands, and later due to the alluvial of the river and the sea, they were connected by the sandbar of the islands, and it became the current Taipa Island. Because of the Bodhi Monastery is famous in Macau, so Xiaotan Mountain has another called Bodhi Mountain.

From a distance, Xiaotan Mountain is like a rare grand scene in the world, which is endlessly beautiful.

There is no doubt that Xiaotan Mountain is a beautiful mountain in Feng Shui. The house with the back of Xiaotan Mountain is not bad.

Of course, don't think that Feng Shui says that the mountain is in charge of people and water is in charge of wealth, and the house with the mountain as the back is a good house, and it can prosper people.

If the building can be built against the mountain, or if there is a situation to rely on at the back, it is in line with the principles of Feng Shui. But if the mountain you rely on is not bright and beautiful, but the mountain rocks are ugly, there is no grass, or the back mountain is too steep and too high, this is because you are backed by a poor mountain, the main career is not smooth, the boss does not care, and the colleagues do not love, so you can only rely on yourself to start from scratch and work hard.

Therefore, it is not that a house against a mountain is necessarily a good house, and standing with its back to the mountain, it still depends on whether the mountain is a poor mountain, a strange mountain, or a beautiful mountain. Qishan makes people ship, the master of Xiushan is noble, and the people are prosperous. But if it is a poor mountain, it is a harmful calamity.

After standing at the foot of the mountain for a while, I began to walk from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, like many pedestrians who came to play in Xiaotan Mountain.

During the walk, the road can be seen full of lush linden trees. Of course, this is not a real linden tree, but a tree that resembles a linden tree.

In addition, there are many wild medicinal plants on both sides of the mountain, such as begonia balls, crane grass, mugwort grass, snake tongue grass...... Numerous. These are common plants, all of which are traditional Chinese medicine, which are not easy to see in the city, but in some places in the countryside, they can still be picked.

Tang ball, is our common hawthorn, although it is a fruit, but also traditional Chinese medicine, can play a role in strengthening the spleen and appetizing, and crane grass is a kind of plant of the Rosaceae family, both sides are wrapped in pubescence, mixed with several pairs of small leaves, the compendium of materia medica is also called dragon tooth grass, snake backwards. It is mainly aimed at iron injuries, tuberculosis hemoptysis, isofebrile and traumatic diseases.

The next two commonly seen are mugwort leaf and snake tongue grass. Artemisia leaves, naturally needless to say, among the people, have the effect of avoiding ghosts and purifying obscurity. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, in addition to the multi-faceted application, there is also a story in it.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a man named Mo Xi who saw an old elephant lying beside the reeds, moaning in pain. The old elephant signaled to Mo Xi that his front foot had pierced a sharp bamboo nail. Mo Xi hurriedly walked to the old elephant's side and pulled out the bamboo nail with all his might, and blood gushed out immediately. The baby elephant next to him picked up a handful of mugwort leaves and raised them to Mo Xi. Mo Xi stuffed Ai Ye into the old elephant's wound, and after a while, the bleeding stopped, and the old elephant was able to stand up and walk around. Later, the old elephant often took the baby elephant to plough the field for Mo Xi.

This is one of the effects of mugwort leaves, in addition to stopping bleeding, take dried mugwort leaves to wash, chop, decoction, internal administration, can cure chronic bronchitis, tuberculosis. Most of the treated patients had reduced cough, significantly reduced sputum volume, and reduced or absent lung murmurs.

If the dried mugwort leaves are chopped, fried for 2 hours on a simmer, and taken 2 hours before the onset of vivax malaria for 2 days, most people's symptoms improve, and some patients can turn negative for Plasmodium parasites in the blood. Mugwort leaf decoction can also treat cold pain in the upper abdomen and acute bacillary dysentery.

In addition, mugwort leaves are used together with arborvitae leaves and dried ginger to treat vomiting blood, pale complexion, and pulse deficiency. Artemisia leaves are mixed with Ejiao, Puhuang, etc., to treat collapse and leakage. After removing the slag, put in the eggs and cook the decoction, eat the eggs and drink the soup, which can cure the vaginal discharge of women. Pick fresh mugwort leaves and wipe the affected area several times a day to treat common warts, and the effect is quite good. The mugwort leaves are pounded finely, and the moxibustion skin is ignited, which can make the heat inject into the muscles and bones, so the mugwort leaves are the main raw materials for making moxa sticks. Moxibustion is used to treat hookworm dermatitis, and the anti-itching effect is very obvious. In addition, moxibustion with mugwort leaves can kill or inhibit a variety of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, and can also be used for indoor disinfection.

Walking from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, you can see the flourishing mugwort everywhere, in addition to many clinical medicines commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine.

This can't help but make me sigh at the geological wonder of Xiaotan Mountain, in this era, there are very few places that can grow wild mountain medicine, there is no problem of feng shui, but geological water and soil, which cannot provide enough nutrients for wild medicine. Even for traditional Chinese medicine farming, it is difficult to find a suitable piece of land.

Nowadays, this Xiaotan Mountain, in addition to the common Chinese medicine plants on both sides of the mountainside, some rare medicines, but also vaguely visible, although it is not mature, but can be seen in Xiaotan Mountain, it is also a miracle.

Walking all the way, looking at more and more medicinal materials, I really wanted to throw out the contents of the baggage, and then stuffed all these medicinal materials into the baggage and walked away, and after going down the mountain, I immediately made a small fortune.

Of course, this is just a thought. Not to mention that the medicinal materials are not mature, and there are also patrolmen patrolling the mountain on the mountain, if they are discovered, it is indispensable to squat for a few days.

All right...... I'll admit that after a long time, I do have bad intentions for these medicinal herbs!

Gradually, as I progressed, I saw fewer and fewer people on the mountain. After all, people who come to climb the mountain don't go up to the top. Soon, I was in a no-man's land.

Just as he was about to stop to rest and drink water, a hazy dampness wafted in the air, and not long after, a white mist filled the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down the mountainside, through the hazy white mist, the bridge across the two islands under the mountain can be faintly seen. White fog shrouded the Macau Peninsula, and I stood on the high mountain and looked down at everything, which was quite a bit of a feeling of visiting the mountains.

But...... As the fog got thicker, I soon discovered a problem, a very important one.

Nima's, such a thick fog, how can I find the way, let alone collect medicine, I can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, I stretch out my hand and it's white, I don't even know what is in front of me, I can't find the way home, and I take a fart medicine.

I wanted to cry without tears, so I could only sit down on the top of the mountain with my knees crossed. Because the place where I was standing happened to be the location of the cliff, I didn't dare to move around at will, and if I wasn't careful, I would definitely step on a stone and fall directly down the cliff like the protagonist in the novel. I don't have shit luck like a fat man, and I don't think I'm like the protagonist of a novel, falling off a cliff and discovering martial arts secrets, or being rescued by a white-bearded old man and teaching peerless martial arts.

So, I could only sit and dare not go anywhere, quietly waiting for the fog to clear.

I don't know how long I waited, but I ate nearly three loaves of bread and drank two bottles of mineral water, and my legs were sore, and the mist slowly dissipated.

When the fog cleared, I realized that it was already night, so I took out my flashlight and walked cautiously up the hill to see if I could find a safe hole.

Murong Jiajia said that the day of the full moon was within these few days, and she couldn't guess the specific time. And I see that the moon is half-bent in the sky tonight, and tonight is obviously not the day of the full moon.

So, I'll just have to find a place to stay, settle in first, and then take a closer look tomorrow night.

With a flashlight, I walked along the trail covered with weeds and gravel, looking for a cave nearby to shelter from the wind and rain.

As I crossed a small ditch, the flashlight seemed to shine into a small house.

"Strange, how can there be a house on the top of this mountain?"

Thinking like this, I cautiously approached the building with a flashlight, and when I got closer, I realized that this was not a house at all, but a ruined temple.

I shook the flashlight twice into the temple, and it turned out that the ruined temple was older than I expected, not only had weeds grown into it, but even the walls were covered with thick moss. The plaque on the door is broken, and only the second half of a seal character is seen, and the first half is gone.

"It's dilapidated, but there's finally a place to live." After comforting myself in this way, I raised my feet and prepared to go inside.

Suddenly...... There was a thud, as if the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by the sound of a pounding in the dark night. The sound is not the sound of leaves, but only when people rub against the ground.

Although the voice was very soft and disappeared less than a moment after it appeared, I did catch it, and I am sure that there must be someone inside the ruined temple.

In the middle of the night, on the top of this bare mountain, the uninhabited ruined temple, how could there be people!

I don't believe that such a broken temple will be inhabited by people, after all, the current era is not at all the same as before, although Xiaotan Mountain is said to be a mountain, but occasionally people will come to patrol the mountain, if there is someone, it will be sent down the mountain early in the morning.

Since it's not human, it's highly likely...... Hell.

Thinking of this, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly took out the Huaguang Dharma Seal on my waist, and while using the Dharma Seal to protect my body, I roared angrily at the temple with a flashlight

"Something, sneaky thing, get out of here."
