16. The origin of the forgetting grass (another chapter and two chapters)
"Whoa. ”
Chen's sister-in-law could only barely move the nearly two-meter-long daylily, so when the Chen family's sisters and brothers saw the huge daylily, they helped their mother lift it together. The big two and the small three people put the "daylily king" in the small courtyard of the farmhouse.
Looking at the "Daylily King" placed in the small courtyard, Fang Wuwei suddenly felt that the five thunders were thundering, and his impression of daylily in the past was completely subverted by this giant daylily.
"I'm a damn grass. Isn't this a giant daylily with a root gene mutation?,It has nothing to do with the grass hair.。。 ”
Staring at the daylily king on the floor in a daze, Fang Wuwei muttered to himself with a confused expression.
"Master Fang, what are you talking about? What? Isn't this a forget-all weed?"
Zheng Hongqin, who stood up, was still looking at the daylily king with an excited face, but as soon as he heard what Fang Wuwei said, he immediately showed a confused look again.
"Master Fang. Such a big daylily, how do you look at it, it's the king of vegetables, right?"
Wu Wei, who was in disbelief, asked, and the apprehension in Zheng Hongqin's heart was revealed on his face. If this is not the Forgetfulness Grass, then what kind of daylily can be called the king of daylilies, and where else can you find the Forgetfulness Grass?
"Xiao Zheng. If you can be the king, then the ancient emperors are the fattest fat people in the world. ”
Fang Wuwei shook his head, pulled Zheng Hongqin into the small courtyard, pointed to the daylily king who was placed on the floor and said:
"Xiao Zhengqin, to be honest, such a big daylily can indeed be called the king of daylily. But the problem is that the forget-you-worry grass recorded in the Dan Book is a small, delicate, finger-sized daylily!"
"Finger-sized daylily?!Is that also the king of vegetables?"
Zheng Hongqin looked at his fingers, and then at the giant daylily on the floor, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Since ancient times, everyone has believed that big is good, thick is good, how can you think of that petite and delicate thing, can also be called a king?
"Alas. ”
Fang Wuwei sighed, although he didn't believe that the Forget-Worry Grass was a very small daylily, but the record in the Dan Book in his mind was indeed so. Since he wants to refine the pill, then he believes in what the Dan book says.
Looking around and looking at his Chen family suspiciously, Fang Wuwei was also afraid that what he said was too shocking, so he finally lowered his voice and said to Zheng Hongqin:
"Xiao Zhengqin, this kind of daylily is toxic if it is not processed, and it will be poisoned if you eat it. However, the forgetfulness grass recorded in the Dan book is inherently non-toxic, with a single green grass stalk and a golden flower. The six petals are of the same size and are evenly arranged. The core in the middle of the flower gives birth to six flower buds, the tips of which are different from ordinary daylilies, but present a milky white color like jade. That's the real daylily king that can be called the forget-you-forget grass. ”
After a pause, Fang Wuwei squatted down and lightly touched the giant daylily.
The daylily placed in the ice cellar was cold and frosty, Fang Wuwei just touched the frost, then withdrew his hand and put his fingers in front of his nose to smell it gently, and then continued:
"According to the "Materia Medica", it says: 'Daylilies are sweet, which makes people happy, happy and forgetful. And daylily is another name for forget-worry grass in traditional Chinese medicine. Xiao Zhengqin, if you don't believe it, you can try this daylily, whether it has the effect of making you forget your worries. ”
raised his head and raised his eyebrows at Zheng Hongqin beside him. Fang Wuwei just smelled it briefly, and he had already realized that this daylily was indeed not a forget-worry grass, and at this time, he just wanted Zheng Hongqin to try it too, so that Zheng Hongqin could completely admit that this daylily was not a forget-you-no-worry grass.
"Hmm... ”
With a hint of hesitation, Zheng Hongqin squatted down in a tangled manner and learned from Fang Wuwei to wipe the daylily. It's just that he put his finger on the tip of his tongue and licked it slightly, and suddenly felt an indescribable bitterness and bitterness.
"Bah, it's so bitter!"
After smacking a few hard, Zheng Hongqin understood what Fang Wuwei meant. This daylily king not only does not forget the sweet characteristics of worry, it can simply make people feel sick and sick to their stomachs.
"That Boss Zheng. I don't really recommend you to eat this daylily king. ”
Chen Guoming had already gotten up from the tea table and walked into the small courtyard to look at the daylily king. At this time, he saw that Zheng Hongqin actually tasted a bite of the daylily king, and hurriedly explained:
"There used to be a few daylily kings in the field, and everyone was very excited at that time. As a result, I didn't expect the toxicity to be too strong.,No matter what method is used, the residual toxins in it are not removed.,So no one dares to eat it.,Most of them are sold as ornaments.。。 ”
"You said it earlier. ”
Zheng Hongqin glanced at the daylily painfully, and then at Chen Guoming painfully. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, wouldn't this bitter and poisonous thing be even more poisonous if he used it to refine medicine?
"By the way, Xiao Zhengqin, do you still remember the "Pills Memory Book - Preschool" that I sold you before?"
Fang Wuwei suddenly patted Zheng Hongqin on the shoulder, and then whispered under Zheng Hongqin's puzzled look:
"Actually, that book was changed by me from "Danshu - Jingcao Biography". There is a little story recorded in it called Forgetting Worries. ”
"Forget your worries?"
Zheng Hongqin frowned, he had naturally read the book "Pills Memory Book-Preschool", but it was all messy stories, not only had nothing to do with pills, but even Xiuzhen had not mentioned it once.
At that time, he thought it was Fang Wuwei's gift book to him, so he didn't read much. At this time, when he heard Fang Wuwei mention it, he had a vague impression.
"Xiao Zheng, looking at your appearance, you must not have read the book I sold you. ”
Fang Wuwei sighed silently, this Zheng Hongqin is an extreme cultivator in the second disease, yes. But he didn't read the exercises related to cultivation seriously when he got them, so if Ziye Gong was a good dragon, even if the real cultivation exercises were placed in front of him, he wouldn't be able to practice for a reason.
"Xiao Zheng, listen up, it is recorded in the "Forget Worries" chapter of that book.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a woman who waited day and night in the daylily field for her husband on an expedition. She burst into tears and watered the daylily field with her tears. As a result, after several years, the woman waited for her husband's bones, and immediately fainted in the vegetable field.
After the woman had fainted, the unripe daylilies in the vegetable field swayed and wept as if they had come to life, and they all withered in an instant! Only a six-petaled golden flower, blooming at an inopportune time, exuded a floral fragrance and wafted through the village.
And when the fainting woman smelled the fragrance of flowers, when the soldiers who reported their worries smelled the fragrance of flowers, and when the villagers and passers-by smelled the fragrance of flowers, their faces slowly showed smiles, and they forgot the pain caused by the war for a while.
Therefore, the daylily king with spirituality is called the Forget Worry Grass, and the Forget Worry Grass that refines the elixir also has the characteristics of being small and exquisite. After all, the daylily that bloomed at that time was an immature bud. In addition to these ways of identifying appearances, there are more direct ways to identify them. That is, to smell the fragrance of flowers in person, can people forget their sorrows for a while. ”
"Master Fang, "Forget Worries". "Forget Worries". Could it be that this story is about the story of the forgetfulness grass? So the forgetfulness grass should not be a big daylily, but like a newborn daylily?
After Zheng Hongqin listened to the story told by Fang Wuwei, he immediately realized that his whole person was like an initiation! Looking at the giant daylily on the floor in surprise, Zheng Hongqin felt that his admiration for Fang Wu Wei had deepened a little, and his curiosity about the Forget Worry Grass had intensified a little.
"Xiao Zheng, you are right this time. ”
Fang Wuwei nodded, acknowledging what Zheng Hongqin said.
In ancient books since ancient times, there are often some paradoxical stories. To those who don't know history, those stories are like biographical legends, just daily pastimes. But if you look at it from a historian, you can see that the stories are allusions to some dynastic changes.
The "Book of Dan - The Biography of Jingcao" in Fang Wuwei's mind is composed of countless metaphorical stories. And one of the stories, one corresponds to a kind of fine grass! Those who don't understand can only see the stories, but those who study the Danshu can realize that those stories are indirectly describing the appearance of the fine grass!
The world is impermanent, and the years change. Sometimes the truth is always buried by history, but these seemingly time-killing stories can be passed on for a long time.
Even though Fang Wuwei had never believed in cultivating the truth, he was often impressed by the secret books of the exercises he had memorized in his mind! Because those secret books seemed to contain the avenue of life, containing the true meaning that even he could not see through! And this was one of the reasons why he was willing to modify these exercises and sell them.
"But... What's the use of knowing this? Master Fang, we shouldn't be able to find the Forget-Worry Grass, right?"
Zheng Hongqin understood the appearance and characteristics of the Forget-Worry Grass, but he was happy for a moment, but he immediately lowered his head again.
Since this daylily king is not a forgetful grass, then where can he find the finger-sized daylily king? Grandma's birthday is only about ten days away, and time is pressing, but there is no news of fine grass.
"Xiao Zheng, don't worry. ”
Fang Wuwei stood up as if he was thinking about something in his mind, and looked solemnly at the giant daylily on the floor. After a long time, Fang Wuwei suddenly turned his head to Chen Guoming, who had been standing not far away, and asked:
"Boss Chen, you said that your daylily production has been getting lower and lower in recent years. So is there more and more of this vegetable king?"
“?”
Chen Guoming was stunned for a moment, not understanding how Fang Wuwei could know that the yield of daylilies in the village was getting lower and lower, but this daylily king was growing more and more.
"Boss Fang, you're right. After the first appearance of the daylily king in the village two years ago, the daylily yield has been low. This year's yield is the lowest, but there are three vegetable kings! The other two have been sold to others, and you see the last one. ”
Pointing to the daylily king on the floor, Chen Guoming looked at Fang Wuwei with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Fang Wuwei was asking for.
"Heh, that's right! Boss Chen, take me to the field to have a look, maybe your daylily yield will come up this year!"
When Fang Wuwei heard this, his face immediately showed a look of bamboo in his chest. Pulling up the squatting Zheng Hongqin with a smile, Fang Wuwei whispered to Zheng Hongqin with confidence:
"Xiao Zhengqin, there must be a demon when this thing goes wrong! The way of cultivating the truth pays attention to the changes of the five elements of yin and yang, that is to say. If there is such a giant daylily here, then there will definitely be a forget-me-weed! One is yin, and one is yang! Although I am also guessing, I think we will definitely find the forget-me-nots here! You should be ready to buy it!"
(Note: The Book of Poetry "Wei Feng Boxi"
Bo Xi is hazy, and the state is shady. Bo also insisted on being the king's precursor.
From the east of Bo, the first is like a flying canopy. If there is no anointing, who is suitable for it?
Its rain and its rain, Gao Gao out of the sun. I wish to speak of Sibo and be willing to be the first to be sick.
The grass is the back of the tree. May words make my heart sloppy.
The poem is about a woman whose husband was a good soldier and was sent to war. In order to relieve the pain of waiting for her husband's return, the woman planted the forgetfulness grass in her home, and used it to relieve the story of worries, which is the origin of the daylily called forgetfulness grass. The story in the text has been artistically processed. )
