Volume 1: A Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter 11 The paper is shallow
Chiyun Diao left, and stayed in the thatched hut for a total of more than four months, according to Lian Chengyu's suggestion, Chenfeng used countless herbs to save Chiyun Diao, who was seriously injured and dying due to the catastrophe, according to Lian Chengyu's suggestion and referring to the records in "Ups and Downs".
Morrowind himself didn't know that he had completed an extremely difficult thing, and it took four months to rescue the demon who failed in the tribulation, not only because the materials were enough, but also because he needed to have a deep understanding of medicinal herbs, but also because he needed to have a shallow understanding of pharmacology, so even Chengyu was secretly quite admired.
Late at night, in the thatched hut, Chenfeng finished reading the last article about alchemy in "Ups and Downs". In the last line of the last page of the alchemy chapter, there is only one sentence: "The paper is shallow." ”
Chenfeng stared at this sentence, and couldn't help but think of Lian Chengyu's teaching to himself during this time, Lian Chengyu always led him or urged him to go out or practice in a thatched hut after teaching him a lot of theoretical knowledge of alchemy, everything always had to be practiced by him personally, and sometimes even repeatedly.
Morrowind looked at the sleepy little black dog next to him and said to himself, "Next, it seems that we have to find more herbs to practice." ”
On a summer morning in the forest, the air was cold and fresh, accompanied by the double snoring of Lian Chengyu and the little black dog, and the morning breeze was slowly boxing in the yard as always.
There are a total of sixty-four forms of the Sky Splitting Fist, and the morning wind is tireless, repeating it mechanically over and over again.
The sun rises in the east, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shine on this boundless forest, the morning breeze retracts its fists and stands, following the unique law and begins to breathe, eyebrows open and close, and purple light faintly flashes under the eyes.
About half an hour later, when the morning sun was shining on the earth, the forest in the distance gradually emerged, and the cold breath in the air began to slowly fade. It was at this time that the morning breeze also ended today's morning exercise.
After breakfast, Lian Chengyu sent the little black dog and Chenfeng out of the thatched house on the grounds that he had something to do, and in this way, the five-and-a-half-year-old Chenfeng began his journey to the forest alone.
Carrying a medicine basket about the same size as his own height, and holding a well-fed little black dog in his arms, he walked into the boundless forest without looking back in the morning wind.
It was not the first time that Morrowind had come here, and the surface was undisturbed, carefully searching for the medicinal herbs in the forest. The little black dog was not, because it was his first time out, and he felt extremely curious about everything outside, and his little furry head kept looking around, and from time to time he scratched the morning breeze with his paws, as if asking what this was, what was that, and so on.
The dense trees shade the sky and the sun, and although it is daytime and sunny, there is almost no sunlight on the ground, so the temperature in the forest is a little low in the early morning.
As we got farther and farther away from the thatched hut, although it wasn't the first time I had been here, it was the first time I had come alone, and the morning breeze couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Suddenly, there was a sparse sound in the grass ahead, and before the morning breeze could see what it was, the little black dog had already flown away like an arrow.
"Whoosh!" With a more dense sound, the morning breeze saw that it was a squirrel picking up food on the ground, and was frightened by the little black dog and hurriedly ran wildly.
The little black dog chased after him, and when he came to the bottom of a big tree, the squirrel went up the tree neatly, and the little black dog squatted under the tree, scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry.
"Haha!" Looking at this scene, Chenfeng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, pointed to the little black dog and said, "That's a squirrel, it will go up the tree, why are you chasing it?"
The little black dog looked back at the morning breeze that was coming up, and then turned his head to stare intently at the squirrel on the tree, and seemed to be even more impatient, and kept patting the trunk with his paws, obviously wondering why it couldn't get up the tree.
The squirrel on the tree saw that the little black dog couldn't help himself, so he squatted on a branch, imitating the little black dog and kept slapping the branch with his paws, mocking it to the fullest.
"Let's go, it's important to get down to business. Morrowind ignored the contest between the little black dog and the little squirrel, but after this farce, the tense nerves were relaxed, and he picked up the little black dog and continued to walk forward, ignoring the arrogant squirrel in the tree.
"Wow, Trifolium Qingzhi! There is actually Sanye Qingzhi here. "Towards noon, Morrowind finally found a rare herb on the edge of a small forest stream.
Although the medicine basket was almost full in the morning, most of them were some common herbs, and Trifolium was the first valuable herb he saw today.
"Trifolium is a good thing, hehe. Looking at the little black dog's puzzled eyes, Chenfeng explained: "Trifolium lucidum is a very precious medicinal material, only in the primeval forest can be bred, this herb likes shade, don't look at it is only three inches high, the roots at the bottom can extend hundreds of meters, the nutrients it needs to grow are mainly absorbed by the roots at the bottom, followed by the morning dew." ”
"Trifolium lucidum is one of the three main materials of the Bone Melting Blood Pill, although there are only three leaves, each piece is very valuable. Morrowind's eyes lit up like a miser, and as he spoke, he took out a dagger for cooking and began to carefully collect the medicine.
"As long as you don't hurt the roots when you pick it, it will grow again in a few decades. The morning breeze muttered to itself as she picked it.
After a long time, after the morning breeze finished picking, he carefully put the three-leaf green mushroom into the medicine basket, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that the little black dog around him was gone, and the morning breeze panicked.
Since he was a child, except for a few times when he went out with Lian Chengyu, he was almost inseparable from the little black dog, eating and sleeping together, playing and growing up together.
Morning Wind hurriedly picked up the medicine basket and searched among the nearby grass and trees, and after half an hour, the sweaty Morning Wind returned to the same place, still muttering "Little Black, Little Black..."
"Will there be powerful demon beasts in this forest, and Xiao Hei won't be in danger, right?" Morning Wind scratched his ears and cheeks in place, thinking of this, his flushed face was full of sadness.
"It's okay, Xiao Hei is just playful, and I'll be back later. Suddenly, Lian Chengyu appeared behind Chenfeng like a ghost, looked at the anxious Chenfeng and comforted: "Besides, there will be no long-eyed beasts in this forest to provoke it." ”
"Huh?" I don't know if I was surprised that Lian Chengyu suddenly appeared, or if Lian Chengyu said that there are no wild beasts in this forest, and the little black dog can help. However, seeing Lian Chengyu, Chenfeng's anxious heart suddenly quieted down.
Lian Chengyu said that it was okay, then it was really fine, although he had a lot of quarrels with Lian Chengyu on weekdays, but in Chenfeng's heart, Lian Chengyu was actually an omnipotent master in the world, and he had always trusted him 100% of what he said, and he never had any doubts.
Lian Chengyu put the two pheasant-like animal carcasses in his hand on the ground and shouted, "Don't worry about it, I'll be back later." Come on, come on, the old man is too hungry to do anything. ”
Hearing Lian Chengyu say this, Chenfeng also felt hungry, ran all morning, and was going to eat with the little black dog, but Xiao Hei got lost, and after a delay of an hour, he learned that Xiao Hei would come back later, and Chenfeng suddenly felt hungry.
Chenfeng nodded, picked up the pheasants on the ground and began to clean up, and even Chengyu took out a large number of bottles and cans of spices from his storage bag.
When everything was cleaned up and the pheasants were roasting on the fire, Chenfeng took out the herbs from the medicine basket and discussed with Lian Chengyu to confirm his ideas.
A total of 38 herbs, Chenfeng explained one by one, from the growth environment to the medicinal effect, from the picking method to the preservation method, Chenfeng came one by one, Lian Chengyu nodded frequently, and from time to time would insert a sentence or two to increase Chenfeng's understanding of medicinal herbs.
"Look, what is this?" After Chenfeng finished combing the thirty-eight herbs, Lian Chengyu took out a handful of weed-like plants and raised them in his hand, which was quite considerate.
Chenfeng took the weed-like plant in Lian Chengyu's hand, and the bunch of plants between them was emerald green, with cyan flowers blooming on the top, and he didn't know what kind of herb it was after thinking about it for a long time, so he had to shake his head helplessly.
"This is Zhu Yucao, it is a good thing to fill hunger, non-toxic and harmless, it is also common, if you get lost in the wild in the future, don't miss it. Lian Chengyu did not continue to sell Guanzi, and roughly explained the origin and function of the plants in his hands.
Morrowind nodded slowly, indicating that it had been noted.
Half an hour later, the little black dog had not returned, and the roast chicken on the fire exuded a rich fragrance, and Lian Chengyu unscrewed off a piece of it to eat by himself regardless of the image. Morrowind also picked up a piece and feasted on it.
"Woo..."The two who were enjoying the delicious food, before they had time to sigh the deliciousness of the roast chicken, they heard an urgent cry, and the morning breeze looked back, and a black shadow swished, flying from behind to the front, who was not the disappeared little black dog.
Chenfeng looked at the little black dog covered in dust and weeds and said angrily: "You dead dog, where did you die?"
The little black dog ignored Morrowind's blame, and just stared at the chicken leg in his hand.
"Here you go, I'll eat you!" Morrowind threw the chicken leg in his hand to the little black dog, and the little black dog bit it hungrily.
"Woooooo It turned out that Xiao Hei was also hungry and fainted, and he actually burned himself.
"Hahaha", "Woo woo" The unwilling scream of the little black dog and the gloating laughter of Lian Chengyu came from the forest.
After the meal, Lian Chengyu did not leave in a hurry, but accompanied the morning breeze around the forest, and finally the two of them and a dog stayed on the edge of a stream and a clear spring.
Chenfeng looked at the slowly flowing stream under his feet, and didn't understand why Lian Chengyu stayed here, stared at the stream for a long time and didn't find anything abnormal, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Uncle Lian?"
Lian Chengyu didn't answer immediately, but continued to look at it for a while, and then smiled meaningfully: "Didn't you find it?
Morrowind did not believe in evil, and continued to look into the water, and there was nothing special about the stream except for a few weeds growing in the water.
"Could it be that Uncle Lian is bluffing me again?" Chenfeng had to say in his heart. When he turned around and saw that Lian Chengyu still didn't have anything to explain, he picked up the little black dog and prepared to move on.
"Hey, can't you see such a few big Trifolium Qingzhi?" Morning Wind hadn't taken a few steps before he heard Lian Chengyu's voice behind him smiling but not smiling.
"Sanye Qingzhi, Uncle Lian, don't bluff me, I picked some before you came, how can there be any Trifolium Qingzhi here? Besides, although Sanye Qingzhi likes yin, it won't grow in water, right?" Chenfeng shook his head slowly, and asked rhetorically repeatedly, as if to say Uncle Lian, can you bluff people and find a decent reason, this acting is not clumsy!
Lian Chengyu smiled angrily, and scolded with a smile: "The old man is so unbearable in your heart?
Chenfeng wanted to leave directly, but when he saw that Lian Chengyu's sworn appearance was not like doing anything, he came to the stream suspiciously, squatted down and carefully looked at the aquatic plants.
Even Chengyu didn't speak, letting Chenfeng carefully study the seemingly ordinary aquatic plants.
After a while, Chenfeng turned his head to look at Lian Chengyu, his face was full of disbelief, his voice was a little dry, and he asked suspiciously: "Uncle Lian, isn't this said in the book that Trifolium can only grow in damp places, how can it be found in water, and the color of the branches is not right, and the number of branches and leaves is not right." ”
Obviously, after some careful research, Morrowind confirmed that the water plant was indeed Trifolium lucidum, and not some ordinary aquatic weed, but it was accompanied by more doubts.
"What's all the fuss, there are more strange things in the world, don't talk about Sanye Qingzhi in the water, even underground may be there, there are all kinds of strange things in the world, there are always things that can't be regarded as common sense. Lian Chengyu first sighed, and then slowly explained the reason.
"The reason why it can grow in water is that the herbs are mutated, and the different colors are naturally because of the different growth environments. ”
Chenfeng listened carefully, and only after Lian Chengyu finished speaking, could not help but ask, "Mutation?"
"Variation is a very special phenomenon in nature, and herbs can grow contrary to common sense according to the growing environment, climate change, etc. In addition, even monsters have many mutant species, and even... people, too. ”
The morning breeze was like listening to a book from heaven, and his face was full of disbelief. Herbs are good to say, demon beasts mutate, people too, with his imagination is really hard to imagine what kind of scene it is.
Subsequently, Lian Chengyu mainly told Chenfeng about many herb mutations, which opened Chenfeng's eyes at the same time, and his heart was more determined.
