Chapter 21: Enchantment
The location of the medicine hall is on a small peak under the Shenguang Peak, consisting of three separate halls, the largest one in the middle is Huayang's pharmacy, the one on the left belongs to Huayang's two apprentices, and the one on the right is the warehouse for storing medicinal materials, and it is also the place where the disciples exchange yuan coins.
At this time, in the pharmacy on the left, a thin black-clothed young man sat in front of a wooden table full of book scrolls, reading carefully, but looking at his appearance was somewhat tired, and although several people around him were doing the work in their hands, none of them spoke, which immersed the entire pharmacy in a dull feeling.
"Do you think this kid is crazy? I came over after morning class, and he was already here, so he wouldn't have watched all night. ”
On the side, a young man who was selecting medicinal materials stared at Li Ding, who was immersed in hard study, and finally couldn't help but whisper to his companions beside him, breaking the previous dullness.
The companion beside him was also a young man, nodded in agreement, and said, "I heard that there is no qualification to become an alchemist at all, but you don't need to read so many medical books to practice, so what's the use?"
"It's true that he watched it all night, and he wanted to be a pharmacist. On the other side, Chen Yu, who was grinding medicinal herbs, said to the two teenagers.
Hearing this, the two teenagers were stunned, but after a while, the young man who spoke first smiled and said to Chen Yu: "Then there is no need to read so many medical books and pharmacopoeia, the little things that pharmacists need, just a few medical books are enough." ”
His companion nodded and said, "Indeed, the master is already a third-grade alchemist who has reached the Imperial Spirit Realm, and he hasn't read all the pharmacopoeias here, because that would be a waste of time and unnecessary, after all, many of the things in the pharmacopoeia are similar, and it's useless to read them." ”
After listening to the young man's words, Chen Yu suddenly said, "If nothing else, Senior Uncle Qi should be able to advance to the rank of third-grade alchemist next year." After speaking, the young man next to him who was selecting medicinal materials was all envious, and seemed to yearn for the three-grade alchemist.
On the side, Li Ding didn't care about the conversation between the two, and put all his mind on the medical book.
Since Huayang mentioned the pharmacist, Li Ding was fascinated and wanted to learn more pharmacological knowledge as soon as possible, and he heard that the pharmacy here had complete medical books, so he came over. He had seen a lot of things that night, which might seem crazy to others, but he enjoyed it himself.
Li Ding was indeed a little depressed the day before, although Huayang's words pointed him out a new path, but it also said that he might not have much time to say in Jinguangmen. The medical books and pharmacopoeia here are a great fortune in Li Ding's opinion, he has to learn the most in the shortest time, but after a night, he gradually calmed down.
From these classics, Li Ding did learn a lot of knowledge, and even had some unexpected gains.
Cultivation requires knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points, and Li Ding had only read some relevant books at Huayang's request, but after reading more, he realized that cultivation was not as simple as he thought before. Maybe his Yuan Qi grade is too low, but if he can find a high-level exercise, he can make up for some congenital defects.
It's just that the high-level exercises of other Yuan Qi are too difficult to find, and the high-level exercises of the Mu surname Yuan Qi are even more difficult to find, but the classics only say that they are rare, not that there are none. Although even Huayang hadn't mentioned this to him, it still couldn't help but make Li Ding have a little hope in his heart.
This little hope comes from an ancient classic, there are more than a hundred medical books and pharmacopoeias in front of Li Ding, as the young man said, no one may read all these classics carefully, but Li Ding suddenly realized that maybe he could still find a little surprise in a certain book.
"Li Ding, are you here? ”
Li Ding, who was immersed in reverie, was awakened by a cry like a silver bell, and when he turned his head, Hua Rong's light red figure flashed to his side in an instant.
"What's the matter?" asked Li Ding, rubbing his swollen head, and only then did he feel a little tired.
"Didn't you say that you should go up the mountain to collect medicine today, let's go, otherwise the good things will be robbed by others." Hua Rong said with a small mouth. After speaking, regardless of Li Ding's current situation, he took Li Ding's hand and ran out of the door.
"Have you ever seen Uncle Hua Rong take a boy's hand?" a young man exclaimed, causing a flash of surprise on the faces of several other people, Chen Yu opened his mouth wide, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I hope nothing happens." ”
Here, Hua Rong looks like a little girl, but the strength in her hand is surprisingly great, Li Ding was pulled by her and didn't have any resistance at all, so she had to run behind one by one.
Maybe it was because of Li Ding's body, Hua Rong's running speed was not very fast, and she walked along the winding mountain road for a while, and when Li Ding was out of breath, the two came to the front of an archway. I saw that there were many people standing in an open space in front of the archway, but none of them crossed the archway and went directly up the mountain.
"Divine Light Golden Dome. After adjusting his breath, Li Ding looked at the stone archway with an ancient atmosphere, and the four big characters carved on it were already a little blurry.
What Li Ding didn't expect was that the appearance of him and Hua Rong immediately attracted the attention of many people, and some of them even whispered.
"Hey, isn't that Uncle Hua Rong, who is with him?"
"You don't know yet, isn't that scrap the same ...... What is the name of Li Ding, I heard that it is the surname of the wood genus, or the inferior product. ”
"That's not the same as waste, how can Hua Rong be with him, don't let Xue Yun see it, otherwise this kid will feel good." ”
"If you see it, then there will be a good show. ”
"Hey...... Also, you see, you can be knocked down with one finger, right?"
Li Ding naturally couldn't hear these words, but he still felt everyone's eyes intentionally or unintentionally. Holding his chest with his left hand and gasping for a while, he felt that there was nothing abnormal about the air mass in his body, and then he spoke: "You...... You can let me go. ”
Hearing Li Ding's words, Hua Rong was stunned, let go of her hand and said, "Pinching you, didn't I, I just wanted to come up quickly, I'm sorry!"
Li Ding smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more, but he was a little disappointed in his heart. Originally, Hua Rong's hands had become soft and warm at this time, and it felt quite comfortable to be pulled, but being watched by others like this, Li Ding always felt strange in his heart. Thinking of this, looking at Hua Rong's lovely face again, Li Ding's face couldn't help but turn red.
Seeing Li Ding's shy appearance, Hua Rong smiled cutely and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Ding hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just a little tired, I want to ask when I can go up?" In front of this handsome and eccentric girl, Li Ding always felt very powerless.
"Wait a minute, the Divine Light Peak is shrouded in an enchantment, and when the enchantment is opened, you can go up the mountain. Hua Rong was calm and relaxed, and said with a smile.
"Enchantment?" Li Ding was stunned, and said in his heart: "When Qiyuan was in Feiyuan Pavilion, there was an enchantment on the door of that pavilion, I remember that the bald old man once said that if you are caught by that enchantment, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die, it seems that this enchantment is very powerful." ”
Looking at Li Ding's lost mind, Hua Rong said: "This enchantment is said to have been laid by the ancestor Lingyan Zhenren, in order to prevent the spirit beasts on the Divine Light Peak from running out and harming people. However, this entrance will automatically open once a day at the hour and unitary time, and only at this time can you enter and exit the barrier. ”
"Spirit beasts, are there spirit beasts on this Divine Light Peak?" Li Ding said in surprise, "There are spirit beasts inside, so it will be dangerous if you miss the opening time of the enchantment." ”
Hua Rong said with a smile: "No, in fact, the enchantment is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers, what we want to enter now is only the outer enchantment, and the spirit beasts inside are all juveniles, and there are also fellow disciples who have reached the Imperial Spirit Realm to stay behind, there will be no problem." ”
Saying that, Hua Rong stretched out his hand and pointed to the peak of the Divine Light Peak that was vaguely separated from the middle and said, "You saw that Shuangjian Peak, right?" Li Ding nodded, and Hua Rong continued: "This Divine Light Peak is the highest peak of Lingyan Mountain, and it has been covered with snow all year round. ”
Listening to Hua Rong's crisp voice, Li Ding nodded again, seeing that Li Ding listened carefully, Hua Rong was also interested, and said: "When you look at it from the bottom of the mountain, the place where this Divine Light Peak goes deep into the clouds seems to be divided into two, but in fact, it is not, that is where the inner barrier is located, and only once a year during the winter fishing, can you have the opportunity to enter the inner barrier." ”
"Winter fishing?" Li Ding asked suspiciously, but before Hua Rong could answer, the ground under his feet suddenly vibrate.
Li Ding could feel a strange fluctuation coming from behind the archway, and vaguely in the middle of the originally empty archway reflected a faint golden light like a mirror, and gradually the golden light seemed to ripple like the surface of the water.
"It's okay to go in, let's go. Hua Rong took Li Ding's hand again and quickly ran towards the archway.
Feeling that his palms were wrapped around that softness again, Li Ding's heart couldn't help jumping, this feeling was amazing, but he was just stunned for a moment, and his body involuntarily followed.
