Tang Chizhou and the professor glanced at each other, then turned their heads, and then asked the old man: "You are also a master in medicine, don't you think that the leaves of this plant are very similar to a medicinal herb?" It's just that in size, it's much larger than the leaves of that herb."

After the old man heard Tang Chizhou's words, he was stunned suddenly, and the expression on his face immediately became extremely stern. Since he entered the door, he has always been very talkative and approachable, and he also talks and laughs from time to time, always so kind and pleasant, so strict, it can't help but make people feel strange all of a sudden.

But the old man did not speak immediately, and at this time, the atmosphere in the room froze at once. Tang Chizhou, the professor, and even the two students didn't expect that the old man would react so much as soon as Tang Chizhou asked so. After pausing for more than ten seconds, the old man eased his face a little, and asked Tang Chizhou: "Is Mr. Tang also studying medicine?" I know so much about medicinal herbs."

Tang Chizhou grew up in Shanghai, what kind of character, what kind of scene I haven't seen, although the old man's expression suddenly changed, which also surprised him, but he didn't panic at all, and replied lightly without humility or arrogance: "Don't hide it from the old man, it is indeed a little medical Tao in the next, but after all, it is not orthopedics, so the professor's foot injury, you have to ask you to come for diagnosis and treatment, I heard the shopkeeper say, you are not only proficient in orthopedics, good at treating bruises, but also open a pharmacy in the county, so you must know a lot about medicinal materials, so there is this question."

The old man still asked with a straight face: "Those few people who came all the way from Shanghai to our poor country, dare to ask what are you doing?" ”

When the old man asked, Tang Chizhou was a little unsure whether to tell the truth, so he turned his head to look at the professor who had been silent beside him, he knew that it depended on what the thoughtful professor did.

The professor also looked at Tang Chizhou, and knew that it was time for him to speak, so he cleared his throat and said very calmly and calmly: "Since the old man asked about this, then we will not hide it, although we don't want to talk about this matter to others, but speaking of which, this matter is also a little related to the ancestors of the old man, so I always said, you are not completely an outsider, and there are indeed many things, I want to ask you for advice, we will explain the purpose of this trip."

Then, the professor explained in detail why he came to China, how his students were strangely stoned to death, and the Taoist priest who was proficient in feng shui, and even how he mentioned the old man's ancestors in the book he read in the United States in his early years, which took more than two hours to finish.

The old man listened attentively, and his face became more and more relaxed, and when the professor had finished speaking, the old man let out a long sigh of relief, as if to say to himself, "So that's what happened", and the expression on his face softened completely, almost the same as when he first entered the room.

The professor finished talking about this in one breath, and Tang Chizhou sat next to him and listened quietly, and couldn't help but secretly admire: the professor not only spoke Chinese fluently, but also spoke in a clear and coherent manner, as if telling a story, which was fascinating.

The old man sat there quietly, as if he was still immersed in the strange events that the professor said, the professor picked up the teacup, drank a few sips of tea, looked at the old man who was deep in thought, paused and asked: "If the old man is not strange, I want to ask abruptly, why did your expression suddenly change just now?" If it's inconvenient for you to say it, forget it, and please forgive me for taking the liberty of making another mistake. ”

As soon as the professor said this, the old man came to his senses, and said with a long sigh: "Hey, in fact, I don't blame you for this, it's a long story, just about two years ago, there was a stranger who came to my pharmacy to buy the kind of medicinal herbs that Mr. Tang said just now, saying what leaves grow like a fetus, and asked me if there were any, he was willing to pay a high price, I said how can there be such medicinal materials, I have been dealing with medicinal materials for so many decades, let alone seeing them, I haven't even heard of them, the man said, according to Feng Shui, we are in this mountain, This medicine should be produced, but when I heard it, I thought that person was pure nonsense, how could medicine have anything to do with Feng Shui?

As soon as he saw my attitude, he was very interested, so he didn't continue to talk about it, but walked around my pharmacy, and sometimes the medicine that was just picked up from the mountains would also be concocted on the spot in the pharmacy, and the man picked up a plant of medicine that I picked up while watching, and asked me directly: 'Does this grass grow under a pine tree, and it is on the sunny side in the crack of the stone, and there is a clump of strawberries next to this herb.'

As soon as he said this, I was immediately shocked, and I didn't come to my senses for a long time, because what he said was too accurate, even the apprentice who went to the mountains with me to collect medicine couldn't remember clearly, what the environment around the medicine was, that person actually knew it clearly, you said it was strange, I knew that I really met a master, and this is also what he wanted to show his hand, let me know how powerful he was, and dare not despise him anymore.

I remember that I couldn't help but hug him at the time, and I also wanted him to apologize, as the saying goes, 'disobey the master is guilty', when I meet such a master outside the world, my reverence is not pretended, but from the heart, at that time it was strange, where did this come from, look at the age of more than forty years old, much younger than me, actually have such a high ability, really a half-immortal body.

But the man spoke very politely, I was snub to him at first, he didn't care, still politely asked me about the kind of leaves like a fetus of medicinal materials, at that time, I was very serious, very sincere to tell him, although my family opened a pharmacy in the times, and went to the mountains to collect medicine all year round, but it is true that I have never seen that kind of strange medicinal materials, the man did not look like I was lying, so I believed it, but he told me that in this mountain, it should be a place I have never been, that kind of medicinal materials will definitely be there, and let me recall, I have never been to a place before, in this kind of mountain, and the topography of that place should be very distinctive, and it is not at all different from ordinary places
