Chapter Twenty-Four: See the Second Elder
Ying Xiang did as he was told, and Liang Xiaomei pointed to one place and said, "You see, there is a pale white circle on the third leaf at the bottom of it." Isn't it amazing? The medicinal properties of these three drugs are very different, and they must not be confused, otherwise it will be troublesome. ”
Ying Xiang stared at the herbs in his hand with a serious expression, and the medicine could not be eaten indiscriminately. Once the confusing herb is ingested by the clansmen, it may aggravate the disease, and in severe cases, it may lead to the death of the clansmen.
Seeing Ying Xiang's serious appearance, Liang Xiaomei grinned and said, "Don't be so nervous, you can take your time at the beginning, and when you become proficient, you will naturally not make any more mistakes." Besides, this is the first level of dispensing medicine, and there will be medicine boys and apprentices who will divide it twice, for a total of three times, to ensure that the herbs will not be confused. ”
Eagle Xiang nodded.
Liang Xiaomei said: "Okay, for your sake, I'll be your teacher and tell you about the medicinal properties of these three medicines." First of all, let's look at Prunella vulgaris, which ...... "The sunset is like fire, burning half of the sky, and the evening of Tianyao Peak is beautiful."
Eagle Xiang had a weed in his mouth and walked briskly towards his residence.
The first day at the Second Elder's place was not as boring as expected, on the contrary, it was very interesting, and he learned a lot.
I have just broken through the fourth-layer realm of Qi training, and I still need to consolidate it. Ying Xiang sat cross-legged on the trunk of the tree, he closed his eyes and began to run his true qi.
The gentle True Qi slowly traveled through the meridians, warming his meridians and body. Every time True Qi swam around, Ying Xiang felt a little lighter in his body.
Ying Xiang closed his eyes for nearly half an hour, and he suddenly took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
If you look closely, you can see that the breath of Eagle Xiang is actually a terrifying gray.
Ying Xiang spat out the gray gas in his mouth, and his closed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were like electricity. He slowly closed his eyes, and the aura of heaven and earth around him slowly gathered, forming a faint milky white mist around his body.
The milky white mist formed by the aura of heaven and earth penetrated into Ying Xiang's mouth and nose, and Ying Xiang inhaled a lot of white mist into his body, and then spit out gray gas.
Every time the eagle soars, it always exhales such gray gas, but each time the gray gas exhaled is lighter than the previous one. After exhaling like this more than a dozen times, the breath exhaled by Yingxiang has become clear and transparent.
Gray gas is the impurities and harmful substances in Yingxiang's body, and this harmful substance is naturally produced by eating whole grains and daily body metabolism every day.
The accumulation of harmful substances in the body can damage health and clog the meridians, making the practice more difficult.
True Qi runs in the body, which can clean up the meridians and some impurities in the body, and keep the meridians in the body unblocked. This is also a daily homework that practitioners must do, and only after the impurities in the body are discharged can the cultivation be truly effective.
After draining the impurities in his body, Ying Xiang couldn't help but let out a long howl, and a high and clear howl resounded through the valley. He sat cross-legged on the grass, and suddenly remembered yesterday's conjecture that recultivating after exhausting his True Qi would improve the quality of his True Qi.
He hadn't had time to ask the patriarch yet, but he wanted to experiment on his own first, and even if it didn't work, it wouldn't be a big deal.?
After the True Qi is exhausted, it will be temporarily weakened for a while, but it will slowly recover by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through cultivation. After the True Qi is exhausted, it does not affect the use of physical power, so it does not affect daily life.
The eagle flew to a mountain wall, which was seven or eight meters higher than the flat ground. The mountain wall is composed of a single piece of mountain rock, which is closely connected to the main peak of Tianyao Peak.
Ying Xiang's true qi gathered towards his fist, and he slammed his fist on the mountain wall, and a fist mark more than an inch deep suddenly appeared on the mountain wall. Ying Xiang stared at the fist print thoughtfully, and his right fist began to emit a misty blue light.
"Hey!" Ying Xiang shouted and slammed another punch into the mountain wall, this time the fist mark was more than two inches deep.
Ying Xiang then punched and kicked at the mountain wall, leaving a mark more than two inches deep on the stone wall with each blow. It took twenty-one attacks before he stopped, and the true qi in his body had been consumed.
In other words, he can unleash a maximum attack force twenty-one times, and the mountain wall at this moment is no longer as flat as before. The stone wall was covered with fist prints and footprints, and Ying Xiang's legs were weak and he could barely stand on his feet.
Ying Xiang held on to the stone wall and slowly walked towards the residence, and it felt really bad that his true qi was exhausted.
Ying Xiang was sweating profusely, the meridians in his body were empty, and the true qi that was originally rolling and surging in his body with his breath was gone. This feeling makes people very unsure, as if a rich man with a lot of money suddenly can't find a penny of copper at home.
After exhausting the true qi, all that can be moved is the power of the body, and the treasure art cannot be used, and the combat skill is no different from ordinary martial arts.
Fortunately, Yingxiang's physical strength is very strong, and he has more than 10,000 catties of strength with one arm. This is the strength of a pure physical body, and it does not rely on true qi.
Of course, having such a strong physical power is related to the fact that the true qi moisturizes and transforms the body every day. However, when the true qi is exhausted, it does not affect the use of physical power.
Ying Xiang felt it carefully, only to feel that there was already a hair-like true qi in the meridians, although it was extremely weak, but it was obviously there.
In this way, Ying Xiang went to the Baicao House to help during the day, and continued to cultivate when he came back at night. The days passed to the fullest, and before you knew it, three days had passed.
The true qi has been restored in two, and Ying Xiang ran the true qi but found that the quality of the true qi did not seem to have changed.
Yingxiang didn't have too much chagrin, just regarded it as a kind of mental exercise. He has just broken through, and he is not in a hurry to gather true qi to impact the next realm anyway. According to the patriarch's grandfather's meaning, his realm improvement too fast may cause hidden dangers, so at present, even the daily exercise of the physical body has been canceled.
Arrange for yourself to come to the second elder, it is estimated that the patriarch grandfather wants to slow down his cultivation speed and lay a solid foundation. Anyway, there is nothing to do, and it is nothing to use the true qi casually.
Day 4.
"Can you still adapt to following Xiaomei?" said the second elder.
Ying Xiang said: "I learned a lot of things, and I feel quite interesting." In just three days, Ying Xiang has been able to identify more than 30 commonly used medicinal materials, and has a general understanding of their medicinal properties.
Ying Xiang is very interested in medical skills, and two or three ordinary herbs can actually have a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding in proportion. Seeing that the medicine powder he helped prepare healed the clansmen, Ying Xiang was inexplicably happy in his heart.
The people have nurtured themselves and have great kindness to themselves. Although they don't ask for anything in return, Eagle Xiang still wants to help his people in any way he can.
Cultivation is to allow oneself to have great strength and then be able to protect the clan, while medical skills do not need strong strength, but they can still help the clansmen.
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in the Second Elder's eyes, and he nodded, "It's good that you're interested in medical skills, I was worried that you wouldn't like life here. ”
Ying Xiang said: "It's very good here, Xiaomei takes good care of me, and the cakes made by Aunt Fang are particularly delicious." ”
The second elder didn't know what he remembered, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a smile, and said, "By the way, you don't have to care about Xiaomei's jokes. You are a cultivator, so naturally the amount of food cannot be compared with ordinary people. You must know that like a warrior of the seventh or eighth order of Qi training, the food eaten in a meal can be piled up into a small mountain, which is rare and strange for Xiaomei. ”
Ying Xiang sighed a little helplessly, she didn't know Liang Xiaomei very well at first, and she was embarrassed to call herself a rice bucket. Now after a day or two of getting to know each other, the two have become acquainted, and Liang Xiaomei directly called herself 'Brother Rice Bucket'.
The second elder said: "Since this is the case, then you can follow Xiao Meihao to learn medical skills." Although Xiaomei, this girl is usually a little naughty and nonsense, she is unambiguous about medical skills, and she has always been very serious. ”
"She's so smart that even the apprentice who has been with me for almost twenty years can't match her in terms of medical skills. It's not that I'm hiding it, it's just because she's a caring person. She usually writes down every little detail I say, constantly review and learn, and the accumulated knowledge is very profound. ”
Ying Xiang was a little surprised, he didn't expect this girl of the same age as himself to be so good, almost the second largest doctor in the upper clan after the second elder.
"By the way, you put your hand out. ”
"The pulse beats calmly and powerfully, and the breath is even. It doesn't seem that there is any problem, and the patriarch may be overthinking. But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and it is not good if there are any hidden dangers. The Second Elder said.
Ying Xiang suddenly became a bitter gourd face, and said cautiously: "Didn't you let me drink medicine again?"
The second elder said, "You don't need to drink medicine, just take a medicinal bath." You should not eat any herbs, including hemp herbs, these days. Rest well, adjust your physical condition, and I'll let you know when the time comes. ”
After returning from the Second Elder, Ying Xiang returned to the Hundred Grass House. Pushing open the door, I saw Liang Xiaomei sitting upright, holding a brush and writing something in front of the table.
Eagle Xiang didn't want to disturb her, and approached lightly to sneak a peek at what she was writing.
Liang Xiaomei frowned slightly and bit the pen, looking very cute. Before Ying Xiang approached, Liang Xiaomei suddenly looked up and saw Ying Xiang.
"Rice...... Uh, Eagle Xiang, you're back. Liang Xiaomei said.
Ying Xiang touched his nose and approached, of course he knew what Liang Xiaomei meant when he shouted out the word rice. Obviously, she had been admonished by the second elder, but she still couldn't change her mouth for a while.
"By the way, is there anything I need to do today?" asked Yingxiang.
Liang Xiaomei suddenly laughed: "Hey, I've never seen a person like you, you have nothing to do but look for things everywhere, you are really an idle person." ”
Ying Xiang said: "It's so good today, is there nothing to do?"
Liang Xiaomei said: "It's not every day that I'm very busy, these two days are special circumstances. Many people were injured and needed a large amount of medicine, and now the medicine powder is available. Grandpa has twenty or thirty medicine boys and apprentices here, and they do all the general work. Usually I'm still relatively idle here, just processing medicinal herbs. The herbs to be processed today haven't been delivered yet. ”?
Ying Xiang was curious: "What are you writing?"
Liang Xiaomei said: "I'm sorting out my notes, and these are all my grandfather's years of experience in practicing medicine, which has helped me a lot." ”
Ying Xiang said: "What books do you have here to borrow from me, anyway, there is nothing to do now." ”
Liang Xiaomei said: "Yo! Brother Rice Bucket is quite studious." She covered her mouth as soon as she finished speaking, realizing her gaffe.
Grandpa had already reminded her that it was very rude to call someone a rice bucket.
Liang Xiaomei was suddenly a little embarrassed, she felt that Yingxiang was really a good person, and it seemed a little inappropriate for her to call him like this.
Liang Xiaomei stammered a little: "Yingxiang, I'm sorry, I won't call you like this next time." ”
Ying Xiang didn't mind, and said to Liang Xiaomei: "It's nothing, I'll call you whatever you like." ”
Liang Xiaomei's eyes lit up, but she shook her head resolutely and said: "Although I am a woman, my words also count, I said that if I don't call you like this again, I will definitely do it." ”
