Chapter 52: Blood Lotus? It's a no-brainer!
"Huh? What can make Xie Tianshi so happy? ”
Shu Ya finished the morning meeting, and after returning to the office, she found Xie Lingtian with an excited smile, so she couldn't help but ask.
"I asked Fan Lao to inquire about the medicinal materials before, but I didn't expect the other party to really find one of the medicines!"
Xie Lingtian had just received a call from Fan Lao, saying that he had found a blood lotus, which was a relief for him.
He was worried that after the Wuyang Golden Grass ran out, the other three-flavor main medicine would not have much healing effect.
Now that the blood lotus has appeared, with the five-flavor main medicine, plus several auxiliary medicines such as century-old ginseng, it has solved the urgent need.
"That's great, I'll call Shu Miao to go over and get it!" When Shu Ya heard this, she said happily.
"It's a big deal, I'll go over myself."
Blood lotus likes places of dampness, fishy smell, and yin qi, and only deep mountains and wild mountains can have such conditions.
And it must go through hundreds of years of wind and rain baptism before it can shed its roots and change its leaves and grow into blood-colored lotus seeds.
Now Fan Lao has only picked a small plant, and he must personally go to find out what the specific situation is.
"Shuya, why don't you come with me?"
Xiao Zishi warned him not to tell anyone about this.
Therefore, Xie Lingtian did not talk to Shu Ya.
It's just that because of Xiao Zishi's behavior last night, Xie Lingtian is not very relieved.
"It's okay, I also want to see what the blood lotus looks like."
Shu Ya didn't think much about it, so she nodded in agreement.
……
Yaowang Villa Fan Lao's private clinic
"Thank Heavenly Master, do you see if this is the blood lotus you are looking for?!" Fan Lao cautiously opened the lid of the wooden box and handed it to Xie Lingtian.
"That's right, that's it!"
Xie Lingtian picked up the blood lotus stalk and looked at the baby's palm-sized, blood-dripping lotus flower, his eyes were slightly gloomy.
After a while, Xie Lingtian put away the blood lotus.
"This blood lotus is not big, it is estimated that it will be less than a hundred years, and it is a pity to pick it......"
Xie Lingtian looked at Fan Lao and asked, "Fan Lao, where did you pick this blood lotus?" ”
"Oh, this is what our salesman inadvertently received when he was buying medicinal herbs at the Pingjiang Town Agricultural Market." Fan Lao replied.
"Pingjiang Town, Tang County?" Xie Lingtian couldn't help asking.
"Yes, thank you, know that place?" Fan Lao couldn't help but ask.
"I lived in Tang County when I was a child, but I never went to the township." Xie Lingtian replied.
"I see." Fan Lao continued.
"On weekdays, we don't go to the acquisition in person, but Fan has always remembered the matter of Xie Tianshi, so he sent more people to look at the manpower and go deep into various towns and counties, which has a little bit of gain."
Fan Lao explained with a smile, and between the lines he also showed that he was doing his best to do things for him.
Xie Lingtian naturally understood what he meant.
"Old Fan, you have helped me a lot, it's really troublesome." Xie Lingtian thanked him.
Fan Lao hurriedly waved his hand and said that you are welcome.
"Old Fan, how much does this blood lotus cost, and I'll ask the finance to remit the money later." Shu Ya asked on the side.
"No, no, no!" Fan Lao hurriedly shook his head and rejected Shu Ya. "Mr. Shu, thank you, don't mention money to me!"
"Besides, it didn't cost much when this blood lotus was harvested, and it was an honor for the old man to bother the two of them to run in person, so it was an honor for the old man to be able to help Master Xie Tian!"
Fan Lao had already admired Xie Lingtian very much, and since he heard about the charity gala, he was even more in awe.
However, Fan Lao was also secretly glad that he had made a very correct decision to be friends with Xie Lingtian at the beginning.
Xie Lingtian smiled and did not refuse.
He naturally knew what Fan Lao really wanted.
"Old Fan, I remember you said that you were interested in treating Gu Chengren's set of acupuncture, right?"
Fan Lao was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded like pounding garlic and said yes.
"When I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll take the time to point you out." Xie Lingtian said with a light smile.
"Great! Thank you, Heavenly Master, for your generous teaching! Fan Lao's face flushed with excitement.
For most of his life, what he regretted the most was that he was too arrogant when he was young, did not listen to his master's teachings, and missed the opportunity.
Now, Xie Lingtian is willing to teach him acupuncture, it's like drowsiness and encountering a pillow, how can he be unhappy?!
If so, you can still practice the art of internal qi......
"Fan Lao? Fan Lao. ”
When Fan Lao was out of his mind, he was woken up by Xie Lingtian.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I was a little distracted." Fan Lao sneered.
"It doesn't matter." Xie Lingtian said with a smile, "Old Fan, do you have contact information for the farmer who picked this blood lotus?" I'd like to ask in person. ”
"Well, thank you, please wait a moment, I'll make a call." Fan Lao immediately dialed a number.
But after Xie Lingtian and Shu Ya heard the conversation between Fan Lao and the other party, it seemed that the other party was not very clear.
"These farmers are all from the countryside, and only when they are in the market, they will bring the medicinal herbs they pick to sell, and the personnel are mixed, and the salesman does not pay much attention."
Fan Lao hung up the phone and said regretfully.
"What is a catch-up?" Shu Ya asked with a puzzled expression.
Xie Lingtian explained with a smile.
"It is a kind of folk custom, and in economically underdeveloped rural areas, it will regularly gather for commodity trading activities, that is, bazaars, which have a certain period."
"Oh, there is still this way of trade......" Shu Ya obviously has never been to the countryside.
"Where we can't see, many rural people live like this."
As soon as Fan Lao heard Xie Lingtian talk about the cycle, he immediately dialed the phone again.
"Thank you, tomorrow is the market day, maybe you can meet the farmer, if you have time, I will send someone to send you down."
When Xie Lingtian heard this, he raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "Okay, then it's troublesome for Fan Lao to arrange." ”
"Thank you for your kindness."
After Fan Lao instructed the matter, he took this rare opportunity to ask Xie Lingtian for acupuncture.
Xie Lingtian saw that it was still early, and it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he taught Fan Lao that set of acupuncture techniques.
"Thank you, Heavenly Master!"
Fan Lao was amazed, although it was only half a day's effort, but for Fan Lao, it was like an enlightenment, and he suddenly became enlightened.
"Fan Lao's medical skills are already superb, and he only lacks an opportunity." Xie Lingtian praised.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Fan Lao said modestly, "Compared to the Heavenly Master, we ordinary people are far behind!" ”
Xie Lingtian smiled, seeing that he was so devoted to studying and obsessed with medical skills, he had a little appreciation and respect.
Besides, the other party has a little internal energy, and if he dials it a little, he may be able to reach a new realm.
Let him use the art of spiritual cultivation to save people, and he will be regarded as a good deed.
"Elder Fan, can you ask what sect and sect your cultivation internal qi is?" Xie Lingtian thought of this, so he asked casually.
Fan Lao hesitated slightly, and finally confessed frankly.
"When I was in college, I once traveled to Wuyi Mountain, and I met an old Taoist priest on the way, who said that he had an eye for me and wanted to accept me as a disciple.
I didn't say yes at the time, but I was a little curious about what he said about the internal qi operation, so I learned it from him for a few days.
Later, I left my contact information, and I went again for the summer vacation, but after I studied for a week, I found that it was useless at all, so I wanted to give up.
When my father saw my attitude, he drove me down the mountain, and I lost contact with him from then on......
More than forty years have passed, and I am afraid that the old master has already become an immortal and is no longer alive. ”
When Fan Lao talked about this past, he looked very depressed and remorseful.
'Wuyi Mountain?! ’
Xie Lingtian was stunned for a moment, he was swept into the Wuyi Mountains by Zhang Lao'er at the beginning......
Xie Lingtian came back to his senses and asked, "Do you know the name of the old Taoist?" ”
Fan Lao shook his head, "I asked back then, but the old master didn't say it. ”
'Wuyi Mountain? Could it be the Plume Ancient Sword Sect? Xie Lingtian said secretly in his heart.
He had heard Zhang Lao'er talk about some ancient sects, and among the five mountain sects, the Plume Ancient Sword Sect of Wuyi Mountain was one of the more powerful ones.
It's just that the inheritance of these mountain schools has gradually disappeared and dissipated in the long river of history, and few people know where they are.
Xie Lingtian pondered for a moment and then said, "Elder Fan, are you willing to continue to practice the technique of internal qi. ”
Fan Lao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded excitedly and said, "Of course I do!" ”
"I only saw that you have a lot of research on medical skills and have the heart to save the people and help the world, so I made an exception and pointed out to you, you must not give up halfway."
Xie Lingtian admonished.
"Heavenly Master is very kind, Fan will live up to his trust!" Fan Lao said solemnly.
