Hearing this, my heart moved--Feng Shui school that is good at preserving corpses? How does it sound so familiar? By the way, the feng shui master once said that when he was young, he visited a Taoist priest of this school, and the Taoist priest also dealt with a blind man with him, and the most unforgettable wife of the feng shui master was also introduced by the Taoist priest.

I didn't expect that this herb called "monkey face flower" has such a huge significance, not only can cure diseases and save people, but also rise to the national strategic level, its value is really immeasurable.

But think about it, if you can really use the active ingredients of "monkey face flower" to deal with biological and chemical weapons, it will be a breakthrough in chemical weapons defense.

But for some reason, when the old man heard the man say this, he was not excited at all, but asked calmly, "Your surname?" ”

"Oh, if your surname is Lu, you can call me Lao Lu!"

The old man let out a sigh of relief and said lightly: "Okay, then call you Lao Lu, Lao Lu, thank you for being honest, I see that you are also a sincere person, so I won't go around the bend with you, in fact, the kind of "monkey face flower" you said is probably extinct, so don't have too much hope." ”

Although the old man's voice was not loud, it was like a huge thunder to Lao Lu, his face was full of shock, and it took a full minute before he came back to his senses and asked, "How could the old man say that?" Are you familiar with this 'monkey-faced grass'? Please also ask the old gentleman to advise, your experience may be invaluable to me. ”

The old man saw that his face was full of sincerity, and then he sighed and said: "Alas, it is not very familiar, but I have been in contact with it to some extent, and I also know some habits of this plant.

Speaking of which, that was decades ago.

At that time, I was young and strong, often went to the mountains to hunt, as soon as I went in it was ten days and half a month, but when I finished hunting the prey, I went to the city to sell, but found that I could not earn a few dollars, but some of the herbs, can sell a large price of herbs, this work, depends not only on the body, but also on the understanding of medicine, the deeper the attainment of medicine, the easier it is to collect rare herbs, and the easier it is to sell at a high price, I once saw with my own eyes, there is a medicine farmer to pick a few herbs, the price of selling is more than my income in two years, I made up my mind at that timeI must also learn about herbal medicine, so that I can collect herbs while hunting, which is much higher than the income of just hunting.

But who can you learn from?

Many medicine farmers are family heirlooms, they have been doing this for generations, so they can get in touch with this knowledge since childhood, and will never teach this knowledge to outsiders. So I had no way to get into school.

Coincidentally, there was a Taoist priest who came to us to visit relatives and friends, but was stolen by thieves and lost his belongings, I saw that the Taoist priest had white hair and a kind face, and my deceased old father was a little similar, so I suddenly had a good impression, and saw that he was so thin in winter, and penniless, I felt really pitiful, although I didn't have much money, or gave him some, it was a piece of money.

The old Taoist priest thanked me very much, saying that he would definitely pay me back the money, but I didn't take it seriously at the time, and of course I didn't care too much about whether he paid it back.

But what I didn't expect was that at the beginning of the spring of the next year, the old Taoist priest actually came again, and he knew that I would go to the game shop in the city every seven or eight days, so he waited for me there.

After seeing me, not only did he pay me back, but the two of us also found a tavern to talk, although he is a Taoist priest, but not like other Taoist priests do not eat fireworks in the world, we talk about family life, talk about their own experiences, very speculative. Listening to me say that he wanted to learn herbal knowledge, he said that he knew something about this and could teach me, which of course made me extremely excited, I felt that it was really a good person with good rewards, I occasionally did a good deed, but I didn't expect to get so much in return.

In the next six months, he went hunting with me in the mountains, and at the same time told me about the identification, medicinal properties, and growing places of various herbs, etc., so that my medicine collection technology has improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and the quantity and quality of herbs collected cannot be compared with ordinary old medicine farmers.

I gradually discovered that this Taoist priest was a master, not only did he know very well about medicine, but he also knew Feng Shui, and the method he taught me to find herbs was also very unique - it was combined with Feng Shui.

Under his guidance, I first came into contact with that kind of "monkey face grass", as Lao Lu said, this Taoist priest is one of the descendants of that school of feng shui - that is, he specially chooses the 'Yin House' for people and is responsible for preserving the corpse from decay.

And this 'monkey face grass' is one of the most commonly used medicines in their sect, which is used to keep corpses from rotting, and the effect is excellent. Not only that, but it is also a special medicine for treating skin and mucous membrane ulcers, which Lao Lu also said just now, but in addition, this 'monkey face flower' can also be used to treat burns.

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the Goryeo Kingdom came to worship, saying that one of their princesses was burned by fire very severely, and the skin was ulcerated and infected, and it did not heal for a long time, and they wanted to find a famous doctor from the Celestial Dynasty to help the princess treat her illness.

After visiting the masters, Emperor Qianlong found a Taoist priest who was good at treating burns, and the Taoist priest only took three months to make the burned Goryeo princess, basically healed, not only that, but what is even more rare is that in the burned place, the scar left is very slight, we all know that the burn scar is the most obvious, but the Taoist priest can do this, it is really amazing, for this reason, the king of Goryeo also sent a special team of envoys, especially to thank him, saying that it is worthy of being a great country in the Celestial Empire, it is really a master.

Emperor Qianlong Long Yan Dayue felt that this Taoist priest had earned face for himself, and was ready to reward the Taoist priest, but was politely declined by the Taoist priest, which is recorded in the history books.

But the specific name of this Taoist priest is not recorded in the history books.

The old Taoist priest told me that the Taoist priest who sent the envoy to Goryeo was from their sect, and the medicine used by the Taoist priest to heal the burns of the princess of Goryeo was 'monkey face grass'.

At that time, I thought that this 'monkey face flower' is really amazing. Not only that, but the Taoist priest also taught me how to find the 'monkey face flower', and I also found this precious plant.

I'm not afraid of Lao Lu's jokes, I even studied this medicine, trying to figure out why it has such a miraculous effect, and after checking a lot of information, I finally have some eyebrows. ”

Lao Lu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said with admiration: "Oh, I didn't expect the old man to have such a legendary experience, and your spirit of study also makes me embarrassed and admired, then I very much want to ask you, what do you think is the principle of the medicinal effect of this herb?" ”

After listening to what the old man said, I was also impressed by him - although from the old man's conversation, we knew from the beginning that he must be somewhat cultured, but we did not expect him to be so knowledgeable.

The old man only shook his head, smiled, waved his hand, and continued: "There are many kinds of cells in the human body, and some cells are non-renewable - such as brain cells and muscle cells; Some are regenerating, such as liver cells;

But many people mistakenly think that muscle cells can be regenerated, for example, if the wound is healed if the hand is opened, people will mistakenly think that this must be the regeneration of muscle cells, otherwise how can it heal?

In fact, this is a wrong concept, the wound on the hand can be healed, not because the muscle cells are regenerated, but because the wound produces fibroblasts, not the original muscle cells, and the human muscle cells will not regenerate after they are destroyed. The most peculiar function of this 'monkey face flower' is that it can promote the regeneration of muscle cells. ”

The old man said too professionally, I didn't understand it, but the old Lu next to him nodded again and again, with a look of admiration and approval. "The layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway", for such a profound question, it seems that I, a layman, can only be ignorant.

"Then why did your old man say that this 'monkey-faced flower' is now extinct?" Lao Lu asked suspiciously.

The old man did not answer immediately, but stood up and paced a few steps around the room, as if immersed in some kind of memory, as if he was very excited inside, and he was trying to control his feelings.

Lao Lu and I stopped talking, and after a minute or two, he sat down, sighed, and said slowly: "Because the environment in which this 'monkey face flower' lives is really weird. It is a 'meat-eating' plant, and it eats a very special kind of meat. ”

Meat-eating plants? I immediately thought of the "vine demon", could it be that this "monkey-faced flower" is also an animal, not a plant? -- Like a vine, which looks like a plant in form, but is actually an animal!

When I asked this question, the old man smiled slightly: "Not really, one thing is certain, the 'monkey face flower' is by no means an animal, but I suspect that it may not be an ordinary green plant, but a fungus, the same as a mushroom." ”

Lao Lu was stunned when he heard this, seeing that the old man knew so much about the 'monkey face flower', he was also getting more and more excited, and his face was flushed, no wonder, in this field, he had not broken through for many years, how could he not be excited to meet a person who knew so much about the "monkey face flower" today!

"Then your old man said that 'monkey-faced flowers' eat meat, what's going on?" Lao Lu couldn't wait to ask.

"Alas, the old Taoist priest told me that the reason why this 'monkey-faced flower' is rare is because the place where it grows is very special, and it must be a place where there are corpses, but this kind of corpse is neither a human corpse nor an ordinary animal corpse, but the corpse of a monster. In addition, as you said, near this 'monkey face flower', there must be a 'cloudy tree', and the end of the 'shade tree' will turn red, the old Taoist priest said the reason for this phenomenon, but it is all about feng shui theory, I didn't understand, probably it means that it is because of the influence of yin and yang. ”

"The corpse of a monster? What kind of monster would that be? I couldn't help but ask.

The Taoist priest didn't elaborate, but said that that kind of monsters specialize in eating human corpses, especially after every plague, they can multiply in large numbers. But the strange thing is that these monsters do not eat living people, because after eating the flesh of living people, they will suffer from phlegm fever and die. Do you think it's weird?

The only time I saw that kind of 'monkey face flower' was to find it with the help of a Taoist priest, and after I pulled up the 'monkey face flower', I specially turned over the soil where it grew with my feet, and sure enough, I saw the bones underneath, and my heart was beating with fright, and I felt nauseous. Lao Lu, when you found that 'monkey face flower', didn't you pay attention to the soil below? ”
