Volume 1: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain Chapter 31 The Taoist Priest Offers Grass and the Apprentice Examines Medicine
Although the sinner was found, the prescription was indeed found, and the two ignored the rest of the Beast King Valley, and drove the boat to their own, and the two on the boat hung their heads.
"This trip is considered to be nothing, and the epidemic business in Shangxi Village is clueless. "Monk Huijie rarely said frustrating words.
"Aren't you able to get rid of the filth? Wasn't it okay for you to recite the scriptures just now?"
"The filth has entered the body, and even if I chant the sutra to remove the defilement for the patient, the lesion cannot be eliminated. ”
"I think I've already reported to the official, there should be a proper way, right?"
"This epidemic is very contagious, like a plague, the previous way for the court to deal with it was to besiege the city, and when the epidemic passed, people were allowed to enter and exit, often ten rooms and nine empty. ”
The two of them were silent and slowly rowed to Shangxi Village, only to see officers and soldiers patrolling outside, and there were official boats coming and going even on the water, and they were really said by Keisuke.
"The two of them have been under martial law in front, and idle people are not allowed to enter and exit, so please go back. A small boat approached, and the officers and soldiers on board shouted at the two men.
"This eldest brother, the two of us are here to find someone, looking for an apprentice in a pharmacy. We made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the village in front of us, but I wonder if we have ever seen each other?"
"A certain family does not know how to look for the east and west, and leave quickly to delay the military order of a certain family. ”
Just as the two of them were being driven away, a shout came from a slightly larger official ship: "But Senior Monk Huijie and Master Liu Zhen Quandao?"
"It's the two of us. ”
"Zhou Xun has been waiting here for a long time. ”
The three of them met on the official boat, and Zhou Xun asked eagerly: "The two of you have been gone for two decades, and I thought something had changed." ”
When the two of them heard this, they said, "The two of us have only been gone for two days, why have these two days passed?"
"It's really been twenty days, do you two have an adventure?
"This is the result of the wicked, who, though condemned by both of us, have not found a cure. ”
Speaking of this, the three of them were silent, and Liu Zhenquan asked, "Didn't you report to the official, why didn't the government mobilize Lang Zhong to come for a consultation?"
"I have come a lot, but now I am helpless, and I have listened to what I said, this disease hurts people's lungs, and the lungs of those who suffer from this disease are eroded, and they are accompanied by symptoms of wind and cold in the early stage, fever, cough and weakness. ”
"I'll go to the county guard to help gather all the mages to do a land and water battle here first, and pass the filth first. ”
Hearing Keisuke speak, Liu Zhenquan said, "Your relative, you said to help, you will help, believe it or not, you will say something else." ”
"The poor monk master has treated his family, so the whole family believes in my Buddha, and his wife is practicing at home. ”
"You don't say it early if you have such a hard relationship, don't go quickly, Brother Zhou is still here waiting for this Lang Zhong to find a prescription. By the way, my master once took a herb called 'Houttuynia cordata', which has a pungent taste and cold nature, and can clear away heat and detoxify, relieve pain, reduce swelling and treat sores, diuretic, dampness and improve righteousness, I don't know if Brother Zhou has heard of it. ”
"This has heard of this herb. ”
"This medicine is a perennial herb, one or two feet high, the whole plant has a fishy smell, the upper part of the stem is erect, often purple-red, the lower part is creeping, and the nodes are whorls with small roots. The leaves are alternate, thinly papery, glandularly pointed, especially on the back, ovate or broadly ovate. ”
"I've been an apprentice for so long and haven't seen this herb in our pharmacy. ”
"In this case, then I'll go and find out, Brother Zhou, how is your fox injury? Since it can send you skullcap, it should know where some medicinal herbs grow, you lend it to me and let me take it to find it." ”
Zhou Xun ran to the cabin to fetch the little fox, and hugged the little fox and said something, and the little fox responded with a few "woos". Zhou Xun handed the fox to Liu Zhenquan and said, "It agrees, then we will go our separate ways." ”
After speaking, the three of them dispersed their own actions.
After Liu Zhenquan took the fox to the shore, he brought the fox to his eyes and said: "The little fox and the other Taoist masters are all up to you, I don't know medicinal materials, I only know that this thing likes moisture and waterlogging, and avoids drought, you are familiar with this mountain, last time I didn't know your good and evil and didn't save you from death, but this time it's not a personal liking or dislike, you must give me the courage to find this medicine, if you can cure these people, you are a great hero." ”
The little fox looked at Liu Zhenquan, blinked his eyes humanely, and replied twice with a "woo", Liu Zhenquan put the fox on the ground and shouted loudly: "Go." ”
A beast has run through many places, although Liu Zhenquan knew 'Houttuynia cordata' in his previous life because he had eaten this thing, but it was a little difficult to put one in front of him.
"Phew" Liu Zhenquan spit out the herbs in his mouth again, and the fox took him to run a lot of damp and shady places, and all Liu Zhenquan's memory is that he can distinguish the taste of eating.
"Little fox, I feel like you're hurting me, it's been two days, you know? I've vomited three times, I've pulled countless times, and if you don't help me find it, Dao Ye, I may want Shennong to taste a hundred herbs and finally be tossed to death by you." "Although the body is much stronger than ordinary people, it can't withstand the continuous poisoning, although it is slight, but at this time Liu Zhenquan's face is also pale.
Leaning under the big tree, the fox may feel that Liu Zhenquan can't find it so much, so he ran over and gave him a silver pill grass (that is, mint, which has long been recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica") to him, Liu Zhenquan thought while chewing that both silver pill grass and houttuynia cordata like to grow near the water.
"The fox will take me to the place where I found this herb. ”
When I arrived at the creek, I finally ate the real Houttuynia cordata, "I finally found it, and I finally don't have to be a Shennong." ”
Liu Zhenquan carried a full burden of houttuynia and the fox and rushed back together, fortunately, the fox came out of the mountains and knew everywhere, if it was really Liu Zhenquan who went by himself, it is estimated that he would not be able to get out in the past two days.
When he arrived at the entrance of Xiaxi Village, Liu Zhenquan handed the medicine to Zhou Xun with the package, "Try the pharmacology quickly, can you use it, little monk?"
"Master Huijie has been doing things in the village, and he is accompanied by the monks of Danyang County. ”
"Oh, how's your pathology going?"
"It's difficult, the villagers can't accurately describe the feeling, the prescription trial is slow, and I plan to go to the infection to cooperate with the master and them to study. ”
Liu Zhenquan looked at this fool blankly, "Look at what I'm doing, it's not like I haven't seen it, you have found me good medicine." At this moment, the little fox seemed to understand something, biting Zhou Xun's trouser leg and not letting go, Zhou Xun squatted down and picked up the fox and handed it to Liu Zhenquan: "Help me take care of it these days." ”
"Then be careful, too. Liu Zhenquan admired it very much, but he couldn't say anything, and patted Zhou Xun's shoulder.
Keisuke also came back after doing the ritual, and Yoo Jinquan finally waited for a friend.
"Zhou Xun fool has been sick for ten days, from mild to severe. Do you have a solution?"
"The poor monk sect is a small sect that knows how to make pills, Taoist friends are knowledgeable, is there anyone in the sect who is proficient in pills?"
"I don't want to think about it, I was driven down the mountain by the master to look for an opportunity, and now that the master is closing the mountain, I don't know if I can find the mountain gate. ”
The fox was tied to the pillar by Liu Zhenquan, and many times he wanted to secretly run to find Zhou Xun, but he was annoyed by Liu Zhenquan and tied up the five flowers.
Time passed quickly, and the villagers were carried out for cremation every day, until a month later, when Liu Zhenquan and the monk were lying on the bed chatting, an emaciated figure pushed the door in, and the two looked up to see Zhou Xun, who had not been seen for many days, thin, the same as a bamboo pole, black, and a gray face.
"We've finally found the safest recipe, and Brother Liu's Houttuynia cordata has helped a lot. ”
