Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Dazzling Array of Spiritual Grass Gardens

The dim study has only three or two windows, and the blazing sun is blocked by the wood banyan.

The smell of pine smoke and ink, the smell of books on the gold paper, the first time I felt that the books were piled up all over the ground, but after living for a long time, I felt that the so-called fragrance of books was like the papyrus paper in the toilet, which made people feel sick and sluggish.

Sunlight shines through the wooden banyan trees, through the hanging windows, and on the dark red bookshelves. There are all kinds of books listed, crowded in the same place, but there is a gap in the next place, the wide bookshelf blocks the only remaining sunlight, and under the shadow of the back of the bookshelf sits a teenager, with a book placed in his lap, with his head bowed and biting his fingers, stained with a trace of saliva and quietly turning the page, a book of only one hundred and ten pages of "Mu Sang Fu" let him see the noon from the early morning, and the words are carefully hidden in his heart, so that he can be regarded as understanding this book.

Gently closed "Mu Sang Fu" and placed it on his lap, rubbed the sourness at the corners of his eyes, and pushed the wheelchair out of the study. Without the obstruction of that door, the sunlight suddenly surged in, but Xiaobai, who had just opened the door, had already closed his eyes, so that the sunshine's surprise attack failed. Gradually getting used to the glare of the sun, looking at it, Dong Qing slept peacefully by the door, looked up at the sun, and found that it was still early, so he didn't wake up Dong Qing, pushed the wheelchair and quietly retreated to the shadow where the sun could not shine in the study door, picked up the book on his lap, and continued to read the previous paragraphs.

I am seeing 'the Zhihui Rue flowers blooming in spring, and the red mulberry flowers on the seaside are blooming spontaneously. At that time, a pair of hands covered the armrests of the wheelchair, Xiaobai did not raise his head, but continued to analyze this slightly esoteric red mulberry blossom. The wheelchair slowly pushed out, out of the study, passed by the red maple, stepped out of the small courtyard, and went straight to the red mulberry.

The original intention was not to analyze and understand this sentence, and he would definitely not raise his head, but when the wheelchair ran over the threshold of the small courtyard and bumped, Xiaobai chose to compromise when he struggled with himself. Close the book, raise your head, and look outside the small courtyard.

"Dongqing, if you don't go back like this, can you do it?" asked Xiaobai in a low voice.

When will the ethereal rhetoric be realized? Now that I have easily left the small courtyard, I will run away, no matter where the snow falls, where does the enchantment come from, can it?

Dongqing didn't reply, but shook his head with a slightly bitter face.

"Why?" Out of the small courtyard, the heavy sense of depression suddenly faded, and for a while, Xiaobai did not calm down in time, but asked a little unwillingly.

"Xiaobai, say it in advance, I said that you are not allowed to be angry. Dongqing smiled bitterly.

"Hmm. Response.

"This time, in order to let you come out to relax, I made a promise to the old man of Guigu, the first is to ensure your absolute safety, which is the top priority, although the original words are a little ugly, but it can be seen that you are in a desperate position in his heart. Thinking of the words of the old man of Guigu at that time, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Seeing Dongqing's sneering appearance, Xiaobai asked suspiciously, "What did the old man say?"

"Don't let that cub die outside, you can't afford to pay if you die, and if you get hurt, you can die. The light tone was repeated, showing no trace of the domineering and domineering of the old man of Guigu at that time.

Xiao Bai Mian sneered with disdain and did not answer.

Then Dongqing sighed lightly, still in a faint tone, "If you lose it, you look at it, and even you lose it, don't blame me for asking your master for someone, if you don't hand it over or can't hand it over, it's ...... words" At this point, he didn't continue, only to see Dongqing raise the corner of his mouth and snort coldly, the meaning of which is self-evident and shuddering.

"The master treats me like a mountain. Dongqing said indifferently.

"Once I'm disabled, even if you let me go, I won't be able to get around for miles. Xiaobai pretended to be depressed, and sighed in the sky: "The fantasy that ignores reality is exciting, but the cruel reality will not disappear because of fantasy, and after the fog of fantasy dissipates, it has always been there, never moving half a step." ”

Dongqing smiled, although it was a little far-fetched, but it was enough to break the indifference, and said firmly: "There will be a chance, there will be a little! Someone is waiting for ......"

"By the way, why are you still chained to the small courtyard now? Didn't Shentu exchange me for your medical money?"

Dongqing shook his head, "The master's life was in danger at that time, and he lost most of the original power in his body, where would I choose to use you as a bargaining chip in exchange for my own freedom, and I decided to use you as the price for healing my master at the first time." "Walking up the hill with steady steps, looking straight ahead, as if trying to remember.

Suddenly laughed apologetically: "I'm sorry, I converted you as an item, but I couldn't help but do it at that time." ”

"Get used to it. Xiaobai also chuckled in response.

The scenery along the way is infinite, and since he was a child, he was trapped in the ferry wandering between the Yunxuan Pavilion and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and never went out. The times have changed, and now I am trapped in the bedroom and study room of the small courtyard of the Guigu Valley. Not to mention going out. Fortunately, Xiaobai spent 16 years like this, and did not complain much, only sighed that most of the books in the study were medical skills and medicine books, and Xiaobai's keen literati accounts and historical unsolved cases were very few, but talking about it was better than nothing, and what about medical skills?

Once immersed in the world of books, there is no room to turn around and look back, half a year of recuperation, Xiaobai obeyed the arrangement of the prince and devoted himself to a solitary book called "Shaking the Emperor's Inner Scripture", the whole book is divided into two outlines of "Su Wen" and "Coffin", each of which is eighty-one, and now Xiao Bai spends half a year to initially peek into the door of "Su Wen", as for the latter "Coffin" Although the words in the text are kept in mind, but they fail to understand its true meaning, they can only be regarded as half-ignorant, it is a donkey not a horse, and they dare not show it.

If you can peek into the inside of the former's gate, you can still brush up the non-existent beard, pretend to be profound, and be counted as half a doctor, maybe you can get the name of a miracle doctor who rejuvenates with wonderful hands. But the latter, who has not yet stepped into the threshold, never dares to show his shame, and the stigma of a quack doctor who has survived is small, but it is difficult to harm people's lives.

"Shaking the Emperor's Neijing" is three inches thick, as wide as an arm, and the weight is really not light, so I didn't take it out today, and only took a copy of "Mu Sang Fu" as a preliminary understanding of red mulberry.

Hot summer, scorching sun, hot wind;

Strong grass, pine locust, wisteria.

For a long time, to the end, the medicinal forest;

Alone, red mulberry, broken peak.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way, although the scorching sun is scorching and tired, but Xiaobai is full of interest, and his cold physique and pale face are like red fragrance under the blowing of this hot wind. All the way through the weeds, not far away a row of Philippe pine locust stands with their heads high, wisteria is interspersed among them, and blooms flower pendants, purple with blue, bright like clouds, extremely beautiful.

The mountain road is easy to walk, and soon to the top of the mountain Lingcao Garden, rows of fences encircle the entire peak, lilac thorn flowers around the fence, there is an extra layer of natural shelter. A simple door frame separates the row of fences, and the door made of a patchwork of branches is so empty that it does not have the slightest effect.

Thorn flowers were born around the door, and one did not pay attention to the slender hands and felt pain, rubbing his hands into the door, stepping into the garden, from the initial fence beside the bustling bushes, and then deep into the garden, suddenly opened!

When he saw this shocking scene, Xiaobai couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, and almost slipped off his mask.

Grandma is a bear, where is this incomparably precious medicinal herbs! When radish and cabbage are planted, there is no other place but this. This was Dongqing's reaction when he first came to the Lingcao Garden, and he couldn't help but sneer, but he was beaten by the second senior brother who was cooperative.

Xiao Bai definitely couldn't have shown such a gaffe, but the shock in his eyes did not go away for a long time, and his slightly opened lips had already been closed, but then he also swallowed a mouthful of saliva that represented shock. Looking up, at the peak of only a few acres in size, countless kinds of spiritual grasses exist neatly and together, and this kind of spirit is hard to get!

"How many herbs are there here?" Xiao Baiwei asked, turning his head and glancing around.

"There are forty or fifty kinds of medicines that survive in a large range like Poria cocos in the front, and there are more than 100 kinds of drugs that survive in a small area and have not formed a scale, as for the lonely existence such as red mulberry, there are many solitary ones, and the strictness of the requirements is only the choice of spreading seeds, and one can live, so I don't know how many kinds there are. ”

"The known red mulberry, the earth thorn orchid, and so on...... There are more than a dozen, and this kind of herb can only exert its perfect medicinal effect when it is harvested during its ripening period, and as for those who don't care about time at all, such as old ginseng essence, I don't know how many. Maybe a blade of grass under your feet is a branch and leaf of a Jiupin ginseng king, heh, not necessarily. Dongqing said with a smile.

Indeed, this place is a gathering place of spiritual herbs before the old man of the ghost valley is occupied, poisonous insects and beasts occupy the entire mountain, and this world is a remote small world, and Xiaobai's life world is not much different, so ordinary people do not dare to go up the mountain at all, and they are frightened away by the fierce beasts, and the whole mountain will be a forbidden mountain, and they will not enter.

After the old man of Guigu discovered such a treasure, he did not do a lot of construction, but built a small courtyard on the mountainside, and the two saplings stolen from the Zhantan Temple were also planted, and the red maple banyan came from this. But there are many fierce beasts on the top of the mountain, the old man of the Guigu will go up the mountain alone to smash the old nest, destroy the nest, see one cut one, and those who can survive are all physically strong, kill a hundred people, surrender or die, under the absolute strength of the crush, all choose to surrender, and finally surround the entire mountain top with a fence, which is the later Lingcao Garden.

After years of looting and acquisition, the Lingcao Garden has finally been completed!
