Chapter 10 Thick-skinned
In the next few days, Chen Yun was very diligent.
Whether it is learning the pharmacology of medicinal herbs or understanding the structure of the human body, he has been tirelessly absorbing it.
This made Li Si very satisfied, and repeatedly praised Chen Yun for his hard work.
Early in the morning.
Li Si was again selecting medicinal herbs that were about to deteriorate.
Today he picked white peony.
Chen Yun has collected a lot of medicinal materials such as astragalus, angelica, and peach kernels in the past few days.
There are only two flavors of white peony and yin and yang star grass that are needed to make the "Zhuji Soup".
No, as soon as he saw Li Sixuan's white peony that was about to deteriorate, he waited to the side with a twinkle in his eyes.
Li Si doesn't talk much, although he is not a stuffy jar, but he basically does not take the initiative to find a topic.
Chen Yun had ulterior motives, so naturally he didn't take the initiative to chat.
At this moment, no footsteps were heard, and a shadow in the doorway blocked the sun's rays.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Laozhi's voice, which he hadn't seen for a long time, came from behind, "Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Chen, are you busy working?" ”
"Senior Brother Wang."
"Senior Brother Wang."
Chen Yun and Li Si hurriedly followed the prestige.
I saw Wang Laozhi, who was dressed in a cyan robe, walked to the medicine table with a smile, looked at Chen Yun and asked, "Have you ever been used to working in the medicine garden?" ”
Chen Yun hurriedly responded: "Senior Brother Hui, Yun is very comfortable working in the medicine garden. ”
Li Si said good things for him, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Chen is diligent, and he rushes to do a lot of dirty work in my medicine garden on weekdays. ”
Wang Laozhi knows Li Si's personality very well, and he rarely lies with others.
He glanced at Chen Yun appreciatively, "That's very good. ”
Chen Yun said modestly: "This is my duty. ”
"Hmm." Wang Laozhi was very satisfied with Chen Yun's attitude and nodded again.
Immediately, he looked at Li Si, "Senior Brother Li, prepare twenty Yin Yang Star Grass for me, Chongyang Zhenren has come to ask for medicine again." ”
Li Si was very calm, and he didn't ask a word if he shouldn't ask, but just responded: "Okay." ”
Who is Chongyang Zhenren, Chen Yun naturally understands.
Not surprisingly, it should be Lu Dongbin's apprentice Wang Chongyang, that is, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect.
In normal times, he would have been very interested when he heard that this famous Taoist in history had come.
But now Chen Yun only needs the white peony and the Yin-Yang Xingchen Grass to be able to gather the medicinal materials for boiling the "Zhuji Soup", and now that he heard that Wang Laozhi asked Li Si to take out twenty plants, his eyes suddenly became a little straight, and he wanted to see if there was a chance to obtain a Yin-Yang Xingchen Grass that was about to deteriorate as usual.
It's just a pity that this opportunity didn't arise.
Li Si naturally took out twenty Yin Yang Xingchen Grass from the medicine cabinet, and after a little inspection, he wrapped it and gave it to Wang Laozhi.
Wang Laozhi took the medicinal herbs and left.
Alas, there really wasn't a chance.
Chen Yun inevitably had some regrets in his heart.
Suddenly, Li Si pointed to the pile of white peonies that were about to deteriorate next to him, "Senior Brother Chen, help throw these white peonies away." ”
Chen Yun came back to his senses and said busily, "Okay, Senior Brother Li." ”
He stepped forward, rolled up the pile of white peonies, and then turned back and went out, pretending to throw them away as before, but in fact they were hidden in the copper furnace.
Although he couldn't get the Yin Yang Xingchen Grass, at least Bai Peony had it, which made Chen Yun quite comforted.
It's just that......
Yin Yang Xingchen Grass seems to be relatively precious, when will I be able to get it?
Chen Yun thought that he would have to wait for the rabbit for a long time before he could hope to get the main medicine needed for this "Zhuji Soup".
However, in the next few days, he observed that Li Si took very careful care of the Yin Yang Xingchen Grass, as if it was a little unrealistic to want to obtain it like Astragalus and White Peony.
Isn't there really a chance to get this medicine?
……
A few days later, New Year's Day came.
Well, it's actually the Spring Festival.
New Year's Day, the beginning is the yuan, and the day is dawn.
New Year's Day is the first day of the year, that is, the first day of the year.
On this day, Wang Laozhi gave almost everyone in the Taoist temple a day off.
Why say almost everyone?
Because the medicine garden is not closed.
After all, medicinal herbs need to be taken care of, otherwise it is easy to have problems.
Chen Yun is not unhappy about this.
Li Si's personality is relatively dull, so naturally he didn't show any displeasure.
Just finished watering the medicine garden.
The two were sitting in the pharmacy chatting.
Suddenly, Wang Laozhi and a strange middle-aged man walked in from outside.
Chen Yun and Li Si hurriedly got up to say hello.
Chen Yunzuo said, "Senior Brother Wang." ”
After greeting him, he also looked at another middle-aged Taoist rather suspiciously, because he had never seen it before.
Li Si was also saluting, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zheng." ”
Wang Laozhi snorted, "I still have to work for the two of you on New Year's Day, it's hard work, Senior Brother Zheng and I came to see you." ”
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and took the initiative to introduce Chen Yun: "Senior Brother Chen, this is my senior brother Uncle Zheng Wen, you can call him Senior Brother Zheng." ”
Chen Yun saluted again: "I've seen Senior Brother Zheng." ”
Uncle Zheng Wen's personality was very cheerful, and he said with a smile: "I think this is the new junior brother Chen Yun Chen who has just joined my preaching temple. ”
He had obviously heard of Chen Yun a long time ago.
There are a total of more than a dozen people in the Taoist temple.
It is not surprising that one more person is known to Uncle Zheng Wen.
Chen Yun said: "Yes, Senior Brother Zheng, I am Chen Yun. ”
Uncle Zheng Wen was very kind, and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that you are diligent and intelligent, Senior Brother Wang likes it very much, I met you for the first time today, Senior Brother has nothing else, so I will take this talisman as a gift." ”
With that, he pulled out a folded yellow paper talisman from his sleeve.
Chen Yun was quite stunned, he didn't expect Uncle Zheng Wen to be so bold.
But he didn't know the other party very well, and he didn't know whether to accept it or not.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Laozhi said: "Senior brother, just take it for you." ”
Chen Yun thanked him and carefully put away the talisman.
Uncle Zheng Wen took the initiative to introduce: "This is a meditation talisman, which can keep your mind clear on weekdays, and it doesn't have much effect, no thanks." ”
Wang Laozhi took over with a smile, "Don't look at what Senior Brother Zheng said casually, in fact, this talisman is mysterious, not only can you keep your mind clear, but if you encounter ordinary ghosts, you will not be affected, of course, if it is a particularly powerful ghost, it will be useless." ”
Yes?
Are there ghosts in this world?
Chen Yun thought about it carefully, there are immortals, what is so strange about ghosts?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what does a ghost look like?
Chen Yun really wanted to see it.
Thinking about it, he thanked again: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng, for the reward." ”
"Out of the way." Uncle Zheng Wen waved his hand, and then said to Chen Yun and Li Si: "Today's New Year's Day, the other sects have stopped work and rested, but the two of you have to guard the medicine garden, which can be regarded as very hard, in this way, I discussed it with Senior Brother Wang and decided to fulfill each of you a wish that is not too much, let's talk about it, what do you want." ”
Fulfill one wish for each of us?
Chen Yun's mind suddenly became active.
So can I ask Uncle Zheng Wen and Wang Laozhi for a Yin Yang Star Grass?
Just as he was pondering, Li Si had already spoken, "Senior brother, I don't want anything else. ”
Uncle Zheng Wen smiled dumbly and said, "You kid is clever, afraid that your request will make me unhappy?" ”
Li Si smiled innocently.
Uncle Zheng Wen pondered for a moment and said: "Although you don't want to, but the gentleman is hard to chase, since I promised to compensate the two of you, it is really unreasonable not to give something, otherwise, I will wrap you with a red wedding bag, so good?" ”
Li Si said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng." ”
Uncle Zheng Wen took out another red money bag from his sleeve and handed it over.
Apparently he came prepared.
It is also true that Uncle Zheng Wen and Wang Laozhi knew that the people did not dare to really make requests, so they prepared the red wedding bag early, but whenever they encountered such a situation, they directly gave some New Year's money, usually three taels of silver.
After giving Li Sihong the happy bag, Uncle Zheng Wen looked at Chen Yun again and said, "Senior Brother Chen, what about you?" ”
He originally thought that Chen Yun would be like Li Si and didn't dare to really make a request.
Wang Laozhi and Li Si also think so.
But who knew that Chen Yun said in an astonishing voice: "Senior Brother Zheng, can I ask for a Yin Yang Star Grass?" ”
Li Si: "......"
Wang Laozhi: "......"
Uncle Zheng Wen: "......"
The three of them didn't expect Chen Yun to have such a thick skin, and he really dared to make a request, especially a heaven and earth spiritual root like the Yin Yang Star Grass.
Chen Yun can't say if he is bitter.
He has observed the situation these days, the Yin Yang Star Grass is relatively difficult to cultivate, Li Si generally looks very closely, and there is no possibility that it is about to deteriorate.
In other words, Chen Yun couldn't use the means of collecting other medicinal herbs to obtain the Yin Yang Star Grass.
It's just that he can't wait to be able to make the "foundation building soup" as soon as possible to help him build the foundation in 100 days as soon as possible.
Now that Uncle Zheng Wen said so, of course Chen Yun has to fight.
Wang Laozhi was almost laughed at by him.
Li Si was also on the side, fearing that Chen Yun would be blamed.
On the contrary, after being silent for a long time, Uncle Zheng Wen glanced at Chen Yun with deep eyes, and asked rhetorically: "You work in the medicine garden on weekdays, if you have bad intentions, you can steal one or two Yin Yang Star Grass at any time without being discovered, why do you take the initiative to ask me for it?" ”
Chen Yun said truthfully: "Yun is an honest person, and he definitely can't do such a thing as stealing. ”
Uncle Zheng Wen asked again: "What's the use of you wanting Yin Yang Star Grass?" ”
Chen Yun didn't tell the truth this time, "A while ago, I saw that Xiangu Zhenren and Chongyang Zhenren both came to ask for this medicinal material, and they wanted to study what kind of treasure they wanted, so they talked to Senior Brother." ”
Uncle Zheng Wen said with a smile: "The Yin Yang Xingchen Grass is indeed a treasure for mortals, but it is not a particularly rare thing for my Ningyang Cave Missionary Temple, since you want it, then take one." ”
Yes?
So easy to obtain?
Chen Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng." ”
It's done!
Finally, I have gathered the medicinal materials to make "Tsukiki Soup"!
