Chapter 90: Medicine Ding Subdues Demons
"I heard that you have been going out early and returning late late, what are you busy with?" Old Man Dan asked Dan Xuan without raising his head, his eyes were still fixed on an ancient book in his hand, and under the light, Old Man Dan's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Uh...... I have to go to the blacksmith every day......" Dan Xuan replied honestly.
"Blacksmith shop?" Old Man Dan's gray eyebrows suddenly wrinkled deeper, as if thinking about what Dan Xuan and the blacksmith shop had in common.
However, after a while, Old Man Dan seemed to remember the real chess battle that happened between the grandfather and grandson a long time ago, and remembered Dan Xuan's unfounded request and the wonderful Qiankun dilemma, so he continued: "The Lin family's iron shop...... What can you do with striking iron, why do you have such a big interest?" As he spoke, Old Man Dan closed the ancient book in his hand as if he was extremely irritable, raised his white eyebrows, and looked at Dan Xuan with some incomprehension, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
"I ...... I...... I like ......" Dan Xuan replied with some anger, thinking in his heart, how could a good forging technique become so ugly as "striking iron" in the mouth of this old man.
However, Dan Xuan didn't know that in the opinion of Old Man Dan, Dan Xuan must have gone to the Lin family's iron shop to learn the method of forging, which is the so-called "striking iron", for the people of the Oak Empire and even including many high-level craftsmen, forgers are vulgar, forgers have no strength, they can't refine some Qi Dan elixirs, and they can't forge some high-level mystical weapons, and they won't play the slightest substantive role in cultivation, the only benefit is that they can help the craftsman improve his sensitivity to refining materials. In the final analysis, the mainstream of this world is still the mystery, and the forger who has almost zero effect on the mysticist is naturally reduced to a vulgar profession. Therefore, in the opinion of Old Man Dan, since it is impossible for Dan Xuan to become an instrumentalist, it is undoubtedly a waste of time and life to go back and forth to the Lin family's iron shop so frequently.
However, Old Man Dan probably didn't know that Dan Xuan went to the Lin family's iron shop not only to learn the method of forging, but also to learn the method of forging, but the more important purpose was that Dan Xuan wanted to become a genuine craftsman! And Dan Xuan had just taken the most critical step in the direction of the craftsman......
Old Man Dan didn't know these things, so the old patriarch was very angry with Dan Xuan, angry that Dan Xuan had such an excellent cultivation physique and pharmacist talent and didn't use it, but wasted a lot of time on the "iron-striking" with no future, Old Man Dan really couldn't figure it out......
Of course, if according to common sense, as long as our Young Master Dan opens his mouth and explains a little, I am afraid that Old Master Dan will understand, and even after knowing that Dan Xuan has become a quasi-weaponist, he may be a little excited.
However, there are many things in the world that seem easy to do, but they become very tricky to do, and many times the reason for this is due to people's personality. Dan Xuan is a person who is reluctant to explain, he often hates things, but he is unwilling to say things. Therefore, Dan Xuan would not say anything to Old Man Dan, and even when he knew that Old Man Dan was afraid that he would misunderstand him, he was still unwilling to explain anything......
Twisting his gray eyebrows, Dan Qing looked at Dan Xuan's calm face with an angry face, thinking in his heart, why do young people nowadays not know how to cherish it now, why don't they know how to make good use of such an excellent talent?
After a long time, Danqing let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Since you are so persistent, I can't say anything about you...... Hello, do it yourself......" As soon as the words fell, Danqing let out another long sigh, and his expression was extremely sad.
"Yes...... Grandpa......" Dan Xuan replied respectfully, his voice still calm.
After saying that, Danqing slowly got up, walked to the bookshelf, and while placing the ancient book on the shelf, he asked slowly: "Do you want to challenge the Kyoto chess saint Chuiyang?"
Danqing's tone was full of uncertainty, and he couldn't understand why he was always doing things so strangely, obviously it was a self-inflicted humiliation, why was he willing to do it?
"Yes, grandpa" Dan Xuan's attitude was respectful, but he thought in his heart, his grandfather wouldn't be asking for guilt today, didn't he hear about the big things I had done recently, wouldn't he praise him?
"You ......"
After getting Dan Xuan's confirmation, Dan Qing turned his head suddenly, staring at Dan Xuan with cloudy eyes, but after seeing Dan Xuan's appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, he could only sigh again......
After a long sigh, Danqing took out a book with yellow edges from the shelf, the cover was already worn, and it was rolled upwards, obviously this broken book was some years old, and slowly put the broken book on the table, and then Danqing actually looked at it quietly, and actually forgot Danxuan.
After a long time, Dan Xuan really couldn't help it, and shook slightly, the chair pillar rubbed against the ground and made a squeaky sound, Dan Xuan wanted to remind the old man of his existence in this way.
However, Dan Xuan didn't expect that Dan Qing didn't seem to be listening, still burying his head in the broken book in front of him, the light reflected his wrinkled old face, and his cloudy eyes were full of concentration.
The broken book that Danqing read at this time was a notebook handed down by the ancestors of the medicine clan, and the patriarchs of the medicine clan in the past generations would record many problems in refining medicine in this notebook for the younger generations to think about and answer. Over time, this notebook became the ancestral heirloom of the medicine clan, and it has always been kept by the patriarch.
On weekdays, Danqing always takes out this notebook to read in his spare time, thinking carefully about the problems in it. Of course, Danqing would also write down the difficult problems he encountered when refining medicine, and every time Danqing looked through this notebook, he would become very focused, just like the old man looked like now.
Seeing his old man like this, Dan Xuan coughed fakely, and then said: "Grandpa, isn't your old man calling me here just to train me, and then let me see you reading here......"
"Huh?" Dan Qing woke up from a dream and looked up at Dan Xuan, his gray eyebrows still wrinkling deeply, as if he was still thinking about the problem.
After a while, the old man said slowly: "Ao...... There are two things, tomorrow morning you take a good shower, put on clean clothes, and let Li'er comb your hair neatly...... Cough...... I have an old friend coming ......."
Dan Xuan was confused when he heard Old Man Dan's words, and thought to himself, your old friend will come here, what does it have to do with me?
Despite thinking about this, Dan Xuan would not refute his old man again, and respectfully responded "yes". I thought to myself that I had pushed his old man enough times today, and I must not contradict him again......
Seeing that Dan Xuan's attitude seemed to be much better this time, Dan Qing grinned twice in horror, and then said: "In the past few days, you have to stay at home, His Majesty the Emperor wants to see you, you give me a good time at home and wait for the summons, don't go to that Lin family's iron shop......" Danqing's voice suddenly became majestic.
"This ......" Dan Xuan just wanted to object, but when he saw Danqing's old face like two hundred and fifty eighty thousand, he couldn't hold back his next words. Lowering his head, he said unwillingly: "Okay then......"
"Hmm......" Dan Qing seemed to hum softly from his throat, and just wanted to continue watching the codex on the table, however, as if he suddenly wanted to get up, he slowly got up and said to Dan Xuan: "You wait here......"
Danqing slowly walked up the stairs and gradually disappeared at the top of the stairs.
Dan Xuan saw that the old man had gone upstairs, he suddenly felt a little bored, and slowly inspected the hall, the layout in the hall did not have any essential changes, and the medicinal materials on the shelves seemed to be still those medicinal materials, the only difference was that the medicinal material shelves in the hall seemed to be missing a few at this time.
Thinking about what the old man was going to do upstairs, Dan Xuan slowly retracted his gaze, and accidentally saw the ancient book left by the old man Dan on the table, and he was also curious about what was in this broken book that could make the old man so fascinated.
Thinking of this, Dan Xuan naturally picked up the notes on the table, slowly flipped through them, and after a while, the corners of Dan Xuan's lips slowly curled, and the corners of his clean lips pouted with a suppressed smile.
After a while, Dan Xuan picked up the brush on the shelf next to him, took out a square piece of paper from the bookshelf, and the pen was inked......
After a long time, the old man slowly walked downstairs, and saw Dan Xuan still sitting quietly in the chair, but there was no joy on his face, as if someone owed him the old man's silver. However, when he walked to Dan Xuan's side, Dan Qing took out a brown medicine pod from his wide cuffs as if by magic, and the style was quite simple.
Slowly handing the medicine tripod to Dan Xuan, the old man said in a hoarse voice: "Ding Ming Fu Demon...... Take it...... Don't humiliate it......"
After saying a word, Old Man Dan seemed to be afraid that he would suddenly regret it, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing to do with you...... ......"
Dan Xuan's face retreated as usual, but his heart was already happy, because Dan Xuan knew that the medicine tripod that Old Man Dan gave him was probably the same as the medicine tripod in his own hand, it was Tianding!
Walking slowly on the bluestone path of Yaofu, Dan Xuan continued to look at the brown medicine tripod in his hand by the moonlight, the medicine tripod is not big, it is not like other Tianding, it is generally larger than the normal medicine tripod, the mouth of the tripod has mottled lines, and there are a few shallow scratches on the position of the tripod body.
Constantly looking at the medicine tripod in his hand, the more Dan Xuan looked at it, the more he liked it, and the curvature on the corner of his lips became higher and higher......
......
Not long after Dan Xuan left, Old Man Dan sat down at the wooden table again, and when he looked at the notes that had been put together, Dan Qinghua's white eyebrows slowly wrinkled, thinking that he didn't seem to close the book before leaving......
"I guess that stinky boy has seen it......" Danqing seemed to be whispering into the air. I thought to myself, it would be good for him to take a look, after seeing such a profound pharmacology in this notebook, maybe it would be an incentive for him......
Thinking of this, Danqing's wrinkled old face couldn't help but smile a little, and then he slowly opened the notebook, however, when Danqing turned the page to the page he was looking at, he found that there was a piece of paper between the pages.
Danqing's eyebrows twisted slightly, slowly opened the paper, and after seeing the neat handwriting in the middle of the paper, he couldn't help but praise it.
"Good word!"
"But...... Who is staying here?" Danqing wondered in his heart as he read the contents of the paper, but the more he looked at it, the tighter Danqing's eyebrows became tighter, and his expression revealed a look of shock that was becoming more and more difficult to hide!
Such an accurate and profound pharmacological analysis! Even Danqing couldn't understand a lot of the content, but Danqing knew that the content on this piece of paper was the answer that he had been thinking hard about......
After a long time, Danqing slowly raised his head, but his eyes were even more incredible! Danqing trembled with his dry fingers and dipped the ink on the paper, and when he slowly raised his hand, Danqing's fingertips were stained with ink that had not dried up, obviously the words on this piece of paper had just been written!
Dan Qing suddenly looked up in the direction where Dan Xuan had disappeared, as if it was difficult to suppress the tremor in his voice!
"Could it be...... It's ...... him."
