The demon asked again: "The Shennong Materia Medica Sutra talks about medicinal materials, so how to identify them? For example, you need to knock some pills or something in your cultivation?"

The teacher replied, "The types of medicinal materials are different, and the functions are different. Even if it is the same kind of medicinal material, due to the influence of various factors such as ecological environment and soil climate, each medicinal material is different, so there is a saying that authentic medicinal materials. Authentic medicinal materials usually refer to a certain medicinal biological variety, under the comprehensive action of specific ecological environment, soil climate and other factors, the formation of suitable origin, excellent varieties, exquisite processing, outstanding curative effect, high quality and large quantity, with regional characteristics of medicinal materials.

The demon asked again, "Then how do you choose the medicinal herbs?"

The teacher replied, "First: Look at the aura. Medicinal herbs with aura are good things, whether they are stumps or strange shapes. For the same kind of medicinal material, the price of a medicinal herb with aura is more than a hundred times the price of a medicinal herb without aura. Second: to look at the authenticity, it is to buy the specialty area of this medicinal material. Third: the shape of the herb. The emphasis is on the shape of the herb, not just the size and color of the herb. What does it mean? Shapes include size, thickness, color, etc., and when these factors are evaluated together, there is a feeling of comfort and peace when looking at these herbs. Again, an example is easy to understand: a person grows tall, but is too thin, giving people the feeling of a fishing rod, which is not right, abnormal development. Although some people are a little shorter, they give people a feeling of proportions that are very symmetrical, which is right, indicating that the person's growth and development are relatively normal. Medicinal herbs, like people, also have normal growth and abnormal growth, you have to eat the herbs, of course, you should choose those herbs that grow evenly and do not produce abnormal changes, and do not choose those that produce abnormal herbs. ”

The demon has one last thing to do in the academy today. Questions about pets.

The demon went to the place where the formation professional class was held, and he went in, and the demon did it.

The demon asked the classmates what books and lessons were in the pet class, which teacher was in the class, the level, and what the evaluation was. The most awesome teacher is when he is in class and what books he is taught. But the most awesome teacher is not here today.

"If you come, you will be safe, and when you come, you will ask, and I will ask one teacher tomorrow to see what the two teachers say?" the demon thought to himself.

The demon blocked the teacher at the door as he was about to leave after his pet class.

The demon asked respectfully, "Teacher, I have a pet bird that can be telepathic. But now it doesn't listen to me, and tells it to do it, and it doesn't do anything. ”

The teacher replied, "Commands? Only ordinary pets can be trained and commanded, but pets that can be telepathic cannot use commands." Think of your telepathic pet as your companion and friend, not your subordinate or servant. Be sincere with your friends, not commanding, coercing. Otherwise, it will only alienate you and go further and further away from you. ”

The demon thought to himself, "Why are you so lofty?" I don't understand. Continue to ask: "Can the teacher be more specific, I don't understand very well." ”

The teacher replied: "You have to care about it, buy it something delicious, insects and the like, give it a comfortable home, is to make a warm nest." Find another companion for it, and the male will find a female for it, and the female will be difficult to say. You can talk to it and find out what your pet likes and you can send it. ”

The demon replied, "Thank you, teacher." ”

The demon thought to himself: "Rhubarb is becoming more and more estranged from himself, I thought it was Xiao Huang's problem, and the two friends forgot about themselves, is it my problem?"

"Go back and talk to it. "The demon thought.

When the demon returned home, Xiaobai came to greet the demon, but Rhubarb did not appear. "This rhubarb and Xiao Huang went to the road again. "The demon thought.

Xiaobai circled around the demon's feet a few times, and then stood beside the demon's calves, padded his feet, held his chest up, and fanned the wings that did not have a few feathers and flesh, welcoming the demon.

"I don't have any breasts, I'm pretty good, I don't have self-knowledge. After watching the little goose's performance, the demon thought with disdain.

The demon entered his bedroom and opened "The Re-promotion of Telepathy of Masters and Pets" and "The Application of Telepathy of Masters and Pets in Formations" to find out what is good to send rhubarb. Xiaobai also followed the demon into the room, and lay down next to the bed.

The demon suddenly remembered: "Is the injury on this little white wing healed?"

The demon picked up Xiao Bai, spread Xiao Bai's injured wing with his right hand, and carefully examined Xiao Bai's wing. The wounds on the wings have healed, the new flesh has grown, the new feathers have not yet been taken off, the new feathers have just emerged, there is no major problem, and it is only a matter of time before they heal. The demon put Xiaobai down and let Xiaobai go by himself.

Hearing the sound of "come when you go", the demon knew that Rhubarb was back, and he must be following Xiao Huang on the side. Rhubarb didn't fly to the demon's shoulder to greet the demon, but landed on Xiaobai's back. Xiaobai twisted his neck and rhubarb gently pecked each other's mouths. "The two friends have become double flying. The demon thought: "Rhubarb is heavy and light on friends, and he doesn't even say hello to himself." ”

"Rhubarb, rhubarb. The demon shouted. Rhubarb ignores the demons.

"This rhubarb is still angry. The demon thought to himself.

"Rhubarb, I'm sorry for the morning's incident. The demon continued. "I shouldn't have asked you to do something you don't want to do. Last time I was in that bandit den, thank you again. ”

Rhubarb "chirps" twice and shakes its wings.

The demon saw that there was a turnaround, and continued: "Rhubarb, we haven't communicated for a long time, and there is a gap. Let's talk about it this time. ”

Rhubarb glanced at the demon, and the color was not as cold as that.

As soon as the demon saw that there was a door, he continued: "Rhubarb, do you want a home?"

"Of course. I still have a cage in the county, and now I don't even have one. "Rhubarb took the initiative to be happy with the demon, and the inspiration should be told to the demon.

"What kind of cage do you want, or what kind of home do you want?" the demon continued to tempt Rhubarb.

"I want a big, sturdy home. There should be a big, warm nest at home, and I will sleep in it with Xiao Huang. Rhubarb expressed his need.

"What about Xiaobai? Aren't you very good with Xiaobai? Where does Xiaobai live?" The demon asked deliberately, trying to understand the reason why Rhubarb and Xiaobai had such a good relationship. Rhubarb and Xiao Huang have a good relationship, and it is understandable that they are both yellow orioles. But the relationship with a little goose is so good, the demon is puzzled.

"I'm the same kind as Xiaohuang, and I'm not the same as Xiaobai. It's good to have a relationship with it because you can't offend it. "Rhubarb really hit the trick and told the truth.

"Are you afraid of him, right? How can you be afraid of a goose that doesn't have any feathers?"

"It's a mutant swan. Now it's still a fledgling, and it takes 4 years to grow up. When I grow up, my aura will be much bigger than mine, even if it is a fox or a wolf, it will not be afraid. Rhubarb said.

So you grovel to it and nod your head. "The demon deliberately provoked rhubarb.

Rhubarb doesn't open his mouth anymore, it seems to be a tacit acquiescence.

The demon felt too silent and changed the subject. "Rhubarb, you want a big home, I understand. What does it mean to be sturdy?"

"It's that cats can't destroy my nest, they can't get in, and we're most afraid of cats. The cat doesn't make a sound at all when it moves at night, and we can't see clearly at night. Rhubarb explained.

"How about I'll make a nest for you with alloy wire, and then make a very small hole, and only you and Xiao Huang can get in and out?" said the demon flatteringly.

"Good. "Rhubarb is happy.

"What do you like to eat?" the demon continued.

"Eat that little bug, it's fluffy, it's a little green. Rhubarb replied.

The demon said, "What kind of worm, go and catch one, and I'll take a look." ”

Rhubarb flew away, and the demon picked up Xiaobai again and looked at it carefully. "This fleshy goose is still a baby. The demon thought to himself. "What does the goose eat? The goose should make a nest for it. ”

After 15 minutes of hard work, the big and small yellow flew back together, and the big yellow had a small worm in his mouth. The demon stretched out his hand, and Rhubarb spit the worm into the demon's hand. The demon took a piece of paper and rolled a small cylinder and put the worm in it. "Rhubarb, don't run around. I'll go to the bazaar and see if there's any bug you need. The demon said to Rhubarb.

The demon took the paper tube filled with small insects to the bird and beast market, and the place where the birds were sold would also sell bird feed. The demon showed the worms to the merchant who sold bird feed. After looking at it, the merchant took out a pack of these insects, handed it to the demon, and said 20 lines. The demon is now a local tyrant, with 2,100 taels of silver in his pocket, and he will not bargain for 20 lines. What can you buy with 20 lines? 20 taels is equal to 20,000 lines divided by 365 days, about 55 lines per day. That is to say, the basic eating and drinking of a person with an average standard of living is 55 lines in a day. 20 The pattern is expensive or not, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise.

The demon went to buy a large alloy wire cage again, and the door can be opened and closed freely, or it can be opened to a certain extent. Because Rhubarb said that if you want a strong nest, you can't buy a cage woven with bamboo. The demon had to bleed and spent 10 taels of silver. This price is not expensive, mainly because the alloy is expensive, plus the alloy brushed weaving, it takes a lot of handwork. The demon is engaged in casting and forging, and knows the price. Then I bought a lot of very fine, velvet, and soft grass, and spent 50 lines of money, which was used for the small yellow and small white shops.

The demon took the things he bought home, and first showed the rhubarb the worms, did the rhubarb want it? The big and small yellow immediately devoured it, and the demon knew that this was it. The demon showed the alloy wire cage to Rhubarb again: "Rhubarb, is this bird cage satisfied?"

Rhubarb looked up while eating, with worms stuffed in his mouth, and couldn't make a sound, so he nodded straight. The demon stuffed a small handful of soft grass into the cage, and put the door of the cage in a position that was only suitable for the big and small yellow holes to enter and exit, and jammed it. Leave the cage on the bedside table and don't care, Xiao Huang knows how to build a nest.

The demon found another empty bamboo basket filled with charcoal, filled it with all the remaining grass, and then hugged Xiaobai into it and said to Xiaobai: "This is your nest." ”
