"Yes, yes, but it's not easy to find." Jia Zheng responded, "There is a kind of Xuanling Grass, which is a veritable all-purpose medicine, and it can be used to boil any pill. However, this kind of grass has extremely harsh requirements for the growing environment, and only survives in some special places, so it is often impossible for anyone to ask for it, even our medical department does not have it. ”

Heck, if you say something like that, you don't say it. What even the imperial physician couldn't find, he couldn't find.

In frustration, Zhang Xuan asked, "Lao Jia, when you boiled the pills, did you use medicine to induce them?" ”

"Absolutely!" Jia Zheng said, "Those experienced doctors generally don't use medicine when they make pills. The reason for this is that they are already very familiar with the boiling process, especially the heat temperature, and replace the medicine with experience, which no novice can do. You're a newbie and don't have any mature experience in this area, so you still can't do without medicine. ”

Ah, I see! If alchemy is also like this, then, after Lao Tzu's experience is mature, he can do without Dan Yin. The problem is, in order to accumulate enough alchemy experience, you must first use Dan Yin, but what are these Dan Yin and where to find it?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xuan had no choice but to take some ordinary medicines and bring them back, intending to see if they could be used as pills.

He estimated that the all-purpose Elixir Xuan Spirit Grass was very likely to be used as a pill induction, but unfortunately he didn't have it at hand and couldn't find it.

The next day, he used the medicine he had brought back from the Medical Department as a pill and tried to refine the pill, but failed again.

Summing up the gains and losses of refining this furnace pill, he came out of Xiaoqiankun, and found that there were guests at home, but it was Xu Jing's mother and son.

Xu Jing saw that Zhang Xuan's eyes were full of surprise, and hurriedly explained: "General, I'm causing you trouble." My mother has to come to say thank you in person, and I can't stop it! ”

The old lady stepped forward to take Zhang Xuan's hand, with tears in her eyes, and said excitedly: "General, you cured my daughter-in-law and granddaughter's illness, and left without even drinking saliva. Later, when I saw your generous money, my old body became more and more restless, so I forced Jing'er to bring me over to say thank you. General, your great kindness and great virtue are hard to repay for your old body! ”

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly hugged her and said, "Auntie, you don't have to be so polite, it's just a gesture." If you're so polite, you'll be in for a treat! ”

The old lady wiped her tears for a while, babbled a bunch of words of thanks, and then pointed to a bulging burden on the ground, and said: "General, the old man has nothing else to give, and when he came to Jing'er's house, he brought some Xuanling Grass, which I originally hoped would come in handy when treating the strange diseases of my daughter-in-law and granddaughter." Now, your daughter-in-law and granddaughter's illness have been cured by you, and Jing'er doesn't know how to practice medicine, and these Xuanling herbs are also a waste in his house, so I simply brought them to you. If you can use it to cure other patients, it will be a reward for our family to you and God! ”

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he immediately became happy, one was happy with the old lady's strong gratitude, and the other was happy with the Xuanling grass brought by the old lady. He was worried that he had nowhere to touch the Xuanling grass, but the old lady coincidentally sent it, saying that it was a coincidence, and that if it was not a coincidence, it was providence.

Good people have good rewards, and the will of heaven has always been like this, from the fact that the old lady sent Xuan Lingcao in time, he had a deeper experience of the way of heaven and the unhappiness of retribution.

In the excitement, Zhang Xuan said with a smile on his face: "Auntie, this Xuanling grass is a rare thing, how did you pick it?" ”

The old lady replied: "The old man has nothing to do, so he goes to the barren mountains and fields to collect medicine in order to subsidize some families. Over the decades, almost all the herbs have been recognized. These daylily grasses are very strange, they all grow on slippery cliffs, and they are not easy to pick, but they can't help me. I picked them and dried them at home, because they were scarce, so I saved some. A few days ago, Jing'er sent me a letter, saying that my daughter-in-law and granddaughter were sick and asked me to help take care of them. ”

"Auntie, these Xuanling Grasses you brought are very useful to me, I laugh at them!" Zhang Xuan said, "Where you can find me in the future, you can just say it." ”

After chatting for a while, Zhang Xuan asked Xiaoxin and the others to pack some food and other things, and asked Xu Jing's mother and son to take them back.

Mrs. Xu was stubborn, but she couldn't resist Zhang Xuan, so she had to choke back tears and go step by step.

Baguio saw that Zhang Xuan put away a large burden of Xuanling Grass like a baby, so he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master, are these Xuanling Grasses really useful to you?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled: "Not only useful, but also useful." With these Xuanling Grasses, I may be able to refine them into pills! ”

After that, he entered Xiao Qiankun in a hurry, first sprinkled some seeds of Xuanling Grass on the edge of the cliff, so that they could take root and sprout there, and then mixed the branches and leaves of Xuanling Grass with the corresponding medicine, and alchemized according to the established process.

This furnace pill, he is extremely cautious, every link is well controlled, and he is expected to succeed.

Unexpectedly, the refining time had come, but he didn't smell the danxiang. After opening the furnace, he saw that although those pills were not as powerful as the ones he had refined before, they were still a little scorched.

Needless to say, this furnace pill failed again.

Failure when there was no Dan Yin, and failure after having Dan Yin, which couldn't help but make him fall into deep confusion and frustration.

Hanging his head and hanging his head, he came out of the small world, and was met by Baguio's splitting head and asked: "Is it refined?" ”

This concerned question, Zhang Xuan sounded mocking at the moment.

However, he knew that Baguio was not a mockery and was not good at her, so he responded weakly: "Failed again, alas! ”

Baguio saw that he was so ruthless and clueless, and intended to appease him, but he entered the study with a snort and slammed the door of the study.

Seeing this, Baguio didn't want to go in and disturb him, so he had to silently come to sit down beside the Xuan family.

"What, you two are having a quarrel?" He turned his head and asked quietly.

"He can't make alchemy, he's sulking!" Baguio replied unhappily.

"Hey, this kid, the alchemy can't be done, just refine it slowly in the future, what a sulk!" "Yaoyao, if you want me to say, it's better for you to dispel some playfulness and have a child for the time being." When you have a child, you will have a bond, and the two of you will put your mind on the child, so that you don't have to sulk about these painless things. ”

Baguio was a little embarrassed by what the Xuan clan said, so he said: "Mother-in-law, he sulks, in fact, it has nothing to do with whether he has children or not. Even if he has a child, he should be sulking or sulking! ”

"You're young to say that." He smiled, "I'm from here, and I know these things better than you." Men are often like this, before they have children, they are like children, they play with children's temper in everything, and once they have children, they will immediately become adults. If you don't believe me, try it. ”

Baguio became more and more embarrassed by these words, so he just hid in the bedroom to rest.

Zhang Xuan entered the study with his head bored, and was very depressed and bored for a while, so he planned to use writing and painting to relieve the sorrow in his heart.

Since learning the art of painting and calligraphy, he has not taken painting seriously, and now he feels a little rusty when he picks up the pen, without any feeling of exuberance and heartiness. After pondering for a long time, I decided to write a short couplet.
