Since he saw that this black, unpleasant smell, unpleasant and unpalatable decoction mixed with the bark of a mess of grass roots and trees was really effective, Ash was of course tempted.

When he followed Lao Dao again, he could clearly see his wholeheartedness.

Lao Dao was still the same as before, and he didn't say anything. It's just that when he looked at Gray Qingyan, his eyes were obviously a little different, with a slight smile.

There is no malicious intent in the smile, just like the old man watching his juniors find out that the old man is both proud and recognized.

At first, he felt a little ashamed, but soon he forgot about it: the most important thing now is to learn these old medical skills quickly.

Next, he will basically interject from time to time when he is dispensing medicine, and bring up what he doesn't understand.

In the past, when he boiled medicine, he didn't ask these questions at all, but just mechanically followed the teachings of the old way, without any subjective initiative.

Now it's completely different, he asks even the most subtle and basic parts.

"Master, why do you still care about the heat when boiling medicine?

"Master, master, how do I think you seem to have lightened the weight when you took the medicine this time?"

"Hey, can you still add and subtract drugs like this? Master, why is this? There is always a reason!"

"So it's a cut pulse! What does that mean, Master?"

Originally, when he came up to the mountain, he pretended to be an apprentice of the old way, and it was normal to call the old master all the time. At first, I was a little embarrassed to speak, but when it was called familiar later, it was smooth and unwanted.

Seeing that he opened his mouth and closed his mouth is the master, Lao Dao was more patient to guide him carefully. Whether it is the basic part or the advanced theory, it will be explained to him in detail.

And Gray Qingyan is like a sponge, frantically absorbing water and growing itself. Even if he didn't understand a lot of the content, he would ask for advice again and again, and then keep thinking about it.

During this time, his Chinese level was improving rapidly, from stammering to articulate, and it didn't take much time before and after.

It's just that most of the parts he learned this time are about the vocabulary and theories of Chinese medicine. In addition to practicing a few basic routines every day, he devoted all the rest of his time to the study of medical skills.

Lao Dao helped him hide the secrets of his cultivation from being discovered, and at the same time, he also explained all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous questions to him with simple truths as much as possible.

During this period, he was also responsible for teaching him Chinese vocabulary, and by the way, teaching him to recognize words and recognize medicinal herbs.

I stayed in the mountains for more than 10 days, and I felt unusually fulfilled every day. Gray Qingyan also seems to have endless energy, that is, all kinds of hard study.

His strength in research was something that even Lao Dao himself didn't expect, but it undoubtedly made Lao Dao very happy.

Gray said that the speed of learning also matched his dedication, and in the eyes of the old man, he liked it even more. With such a disciple to pass on, why worry that there is no successor to what he has learned?

He now believed that the restlessness he felt in the center that day and the gray light words were God's hint to him: it meant that he would meet the successor disciples he had learned all his life!

The inheritance of Taoism is a very sacred and important thing in traditional culture!

Although there are many people who like to keep a hand when teaching apprentices, they are afraid that if they teach their apprentices, they will starve to death of their masters. But there are also many people who have a lifelong belief in being able to pass on what they have learned.

"Hey, the most regrettable thing in my life is that I haven't been able to pass on my skills! Even if I die, I won't have the face to see my ancestors and ancestors!"

This kind of thing is never a hypocrisy. There are really a lot of people who think so.

Lao Dao is also one of them.

From the time he didn't like the imperial examination and liked the miscellaneous books on the sidelines, he was a deviant guy. All along, frantically absorbing all aspects of knowledge.

In the years when he gradually grew up, he encountered the so-called "great changes unseen in 3,000 years" era in China. Westerners, Orientals, domestic new, old, reformist, and enlightened factions, there are not too many of them.

A lot of knowledge in the original traditional culture has been shattered in the tide of the new era.

And a lot of knowledge in the outside world is something that has never been learned. Lao Dao himself likes all kinds of side books, and he doesn't pay much attention to things handed down by his ancestors such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

After that, it was like a bee falling into a sea of flowers, rolling around all kinds of learning and absorption.

Whether it is Western culture or traditional culture, he does not refuse to come. As long as he feels interested, he will be ruthless in his research.

Later, as his parents died in disappointment because of the great changes in the world during the Xinhai period, he had no scruples and constraints.

The countless gold and silver in the family were sprinkled out by him as if they were splashed with water, and they were exchanged for all kinds of miscellaneous learning.

Lao Dao himself is also in this kind of learning, and he is constantly improving.

There are not only complementarities in this knowledge, but also various conflicts and contradictions.

After all, it is difficult to get a fair conclusion about what he has studied, and it is difficult to come to a fair conclusion if he asks Westerners or the best in Chinese studies.

Both sides treat each other with disdain.

It was only after his various studies and reflections that he gradually found many more unique perspectives.

But it is precisely because of this that both the Western School and the Chinese School regard him as an evil way. I wanted to find someone to discuss and exchange each other's experiences, but I couldn't find a suitable person.

In the end, Lao Dao was very disappointed, so he simply spent a lot of money to build an old monarch temple on the Black Bear Ridge, and lived alone in the mountains to cultivate.

The deceit and the entanglement of interests in the world have nothing to do with him. He neither expects traditional Chinese culture to solve all doubts, nor does he believe that Western culture is the only truth in the world.

In the past, I didn't think about accepting an apprentice, and taught him various concepts that were exclusive to him from the beginning.

But first, he doesn't have much time to take care of his children, secondly, most people who are a little older know his "past" deeds, and thirdly, even if they meet people who don't know, they all have their own beliefs.

In this era, either the books of the ancestors or the words of Westerners were believed in very little, and there was very little concept of balance and fairness.

The Chinese school and the Western school that occupy one end on both sides can't be counted on, and all of them are pure single-mindedness to the end, which is more true. And the so-called centrist reformists also have disputes.

Either it is the concept of "Chinese culture as the body, Western learning as the use", and new wine in old bottles, or it is simply the extreme slander of traditional culture of "abolishing Chinese characters and changing Latin".

It's very difficult to find someone who is in the middle. In the end, Lao Dao was a little discouraged, and planned to give up all hope of inheritance, so he would end up in Quanlin.

Who would have thought that at this time, there would be a chance to meet such a person as Gray Qingyan again!

On the appearance of being only 15 or 16 years old, it is the time to have the energy and brain to study;

In terms of background, he is still a half-savage who has been taken by his family to live in the deep mountains and old forests, and he is completely like a blank piece of paper.

At this moment, even Lao Dao really believes that there is really some powerful and mysterious force in the dark that controls everything in the world.

Otherwise, it can't be explained at all, and Ash said that such a suitable candidate fell in front of Lao Dao so coincidentally.

Considering all these conditions, he is simply a disciple of the inheritance selected by Lao Dao, and he is so clever that he is boundless.

During this period, Lao Dao was also secretly pondering how to guide Gray Qingyan to learn from him. I've thought a lot of about all kinds of routines, and I'm preparing to use them one by one.

Of course, the initial state was undoubtedly to create a very close relationship with Gray Qingyan and let him stay on Laojunguan Mountain.

The last time he found that Gray Qingyan was practicing by himself, he went up to give a few words, and he was also trying to find an entry point. I thought it was a good path, and I could gradually increase the content of my teachings in the future.

But he never thought that this time, the Eagle Sorrowful Heavenly King Zhai Ma Dazi was injured and sought medical treatment, but it brought an unexpected opportunity.

Gray Qingyan actually took a fancy to his medical skills, and he wanted to learn everything, but it seemed that he couldn't stop him at all.

Lao Dao didn't say anything on his lips, but his heart was completely happy. At first, I found that Gray Qingyan didn't think much of his medical skills, but later he was fascinated.

If it weren't for the old Tao and experience, he would have controlled the study of Gray Qingyan in a controlled manner as much as possible, and not absorb too many irrelevant things, and Gray Qingyan, who had long been fascinated, would be able to study for a few days and nights at a time without sleeping.

The most important thing is that the "master" on Ash's lips is becoming more and more proficient the more he shouts, and he can't stop at all.

Lao Dao was very happy in his heart, and the unexpected harvest of this trip out of the mountain was simply incalculable. When he goes back to the Black Bear Ridge, he must be used to saying that he can't change it at all.

Master's identity is now completely confirmed. In the future, he will be regarded as a person with apprentices.

Whenever he thinks about it, he can't help but hum a little song and sing a few words of drama, pour two glasses of wine by the way, have a few exquisite side dishes, and have a drink or two.

As for the various thanks that Martha gave him after waking up, they were gold, silver and gifts, and they were not placed on his heart at all.

After leaving a few pills and explaining the order and rules of the torment, he finally checked Ma Dazi's injuries and made sure that there was nothing serious, so he returned to Black Bear Ridge with Gray Light Words.

In addition to the various thank-you gifts he received, what made Lao Dao the happiest was actually the apprentice named "Gray Qingyan" next to him.

Hey, I will also have a legacy in the future!

Tsk, where is this reasonable!
