Chapter 21: Three Books
The Compendium of Materia Medica is one of the strange books of China, which records that Li Shizhen tasted all the herbs and accumulated a lot of medicinal knowledge. It is a naturalist work with worldwide influence.
The Compendium of Materia Medica in Ye Xingchen's mind opened the first page, and an old voice came,
"The old man walked through thousands of mountains and rivers, tasted thousands of flowers and plants, and finally wrote this book, which is called the Compendium of Materia Medica. ”
A faint sentence was like a heavy ** in Ye Xingchen's mind. When he was in school, the strange books that the teacher had told were completely displayed in Ye Xingchen's mind. Ye Xingchen couldn't help but be in awe.
Man, though noble, is the head of all primates. It is not because all people are born superior, but because there are all kinds of herbalists, inventors, and scientists who explore the mysteries of the world, which is why human civilization dominates this planet.
And this kind of ancestors who have worked hard and sweated day and night for human civilization have to make Ye Xingchen, who has three upright views, boil his blood.
These are milestones in the progress of human civilization.
Ye Xingchen no longer hesitated, and his divine consciousness was completely opened. He couldn't wait to see the contents of the real Compendium of Materia Medica.
The Compendium of Materia Medica consists of seventeen volumes. A dazzling array of herbs, beasts, and birds kept flashing Ye Xingchen's eyes. Little by little, it was remembered by Ye Xingchen.
With the passage of time, the last page of the Compendium of Materia Medica was completely memorized by Ye Xingchen, and immediately after his divine consciousness closed the book, he found that his mind seemed to be more and more full. Suddenly, another tattered earth-yellow book opened.
Ye Xingchen's eyes froze, "Dan Dao". Curiously, there is no author of this book.
Pursed his lips, this moment has been waiting for a long time. Immediately afterwards, on the first side of the page, it was written in cursive script, "The Way of the Great Dan, Immortality". Although the handwriting is sloppy, it can naturally be seen with Ye Xingchen's eyesight. In just eight words, Ye Xingchen was shocked.
"It's... Is there really such a thing as immortality?" Ye Xingchen couldn't help muttering to himself. From the moment you enter here, unbelievable things often happen. It can be said that this place is a very strange space. Continuing to look down, Ye Xingchen saw the human figure on the second side of the writing, a short brush outlining a hairpin human-shaped, with both hands knotted and sealed, seemingly with flames, sitting cross-legged on the ground. And the brushes around him are painted with strips of human-shaped hands around the center to attract the aura of the past. On the next side is a humanoid figure on the side, this time as if to confirm that the aura is really attracted by the humanoid hands. Turning the next page, the humanoid handprint began to change, and at the same time, it was suspended in the air by three strokes that looked like an herb. This is followed by the next side of the same scene.
Ye Xingchen then turned the page down. The humanoid handprint underwent a third change, and the herbs that had been outlined in three strokes were gone, replaced by about eight small light-colored black dots. Apparently the person who drew the book did not use any force, but simply tapped the tip of the pen at random. Continuing to look down, a circle has already appeared in the air in the book, including some of the aura and black dots. Seeing this, Ye Xingchen seemed to understand the technique of alchemy. But the next page of the picture made the corners of his mouth twitch.
On the left side of the last page, it's still a very simple four-stroke. A circle that looks like an elixir. Two curves on the top left and two on the right, and a horizontal line at the bottom. On the right side, there are four words written on it, "You look at it, and now Ye Xingchen finally knows who drew this book, this painting kung fu is not as good as a three-year-old child, okay?
After reading the whole book, he finally understood the principle of alchemy, which was nothing more than smelting the herbs with flames, pouring spiritual energy into them at the same time, and finally compressing and compressing them into pills.
After flipping through the white smoke, Ye Xingchen retracted his sense, looked at the old smoker smoking with a pale face, and said, "You drew the second book?" The old smoker smiled playfully and said, "Not bad." It can be seen that he is not shy about it, and he seems to be a little proud. Ye Xingchen couldn't help but look strange and said, "Your painter is not as good as our three-year-old child there."
"Huangli Kindergarten?" the old smoker's words made Ye Xingchen's heart tremble. How did he know this?
I saw the old smoker and said leisurely: "Whether it is to teach you the exercises, or to show you what I think in my heart, it will pass through the memory in your mind." That's why you know where you came from, and the story that preceded it. Ye Xingchen nodded and said, "Yes, that's where I came from." "Ye Xingchen trusts the old smoker very much, after all, if he wants to harm himself, won't he die a long time ago, and it is necessary to teach himself around the corner?
Immediately said, "Old smoker, don't talk too far, you only have the action of alchemy, there is no alchemy material and what material can be refined into what pill" After speaking, he only saw the old smoker sneering, "Otherwise, do you think that the alchemist is so easy to do? If you don't need a formula, wouldn't this continent be an alchemist for everyone?"
"Yes, too"
Ye Xingchen suddenly said, "Then where should I go to get Danfang?" The old smoker snorted coldly, "I read the third book with my divine sense, and the Danfang is at the end, if there is no medicinal material, I will look for other grass practitioners in these peaks, and I will go" Without waiting for Ye Xingchen to speak, the light blue shield around him disappeared, and the figure of the old smoker was gone.
"What a weird old man. Ye Xingchen shook his head and continued to open the third book.
Unlike the previous two books, this book is clearly older. And there are no words on every page.
"What's the situation?" Ye Xingchen said secretly, why is there no word in this book, it just looks very old. I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this time, a small figure with limbs suddenly jumped into Ye Xingchen's arms, constantly licking Ye Xingchen's jaw with his little tongue. "It's so itchy" Ye Xingchen retracted his sense, looked down and saw the little leopard he had saved before, and gave it a calcined bone pill. smiled and said, "It's you, why are you here?" The little leopard didn't seem to understand, and continued to lick Ye Xingchen's jaw, and the pair of leopard eyes narrowed into a crescent bay, looking very happy.
"Okay, okay" Ye Xingchen smiled, touched the forehead of the little leopard with his hand, and said, "You think of me like that?" The little leopard kicked its two calves and directly touched Ye Xingchen's nose with its nose, "sucking" It was obviously smelling Ye Xingchen's nose. Ye Xingchen couldn't help but tilt his neck and dodge. Seeing this move, the little leopard fell suddenly, and his whole back rolled around in Ye Xingchen's cross-legged legs.
"You're so naughty," Ye Xingchen pretended to be angry. But when he saw the little leopard make a grievance, he jumped down from Ye Xingchen's legs with a plop, and he actually lay directly on the ground, not daring to raise his eyes, like a child who had done something wrong, and roared softly. It's just that the low roar is too gentle. Rao is Ye Xingchen couldn't help laughing.
This little leopard is so cute.
smiled and touched the forehead of the little leopard with his hand, and said, "Let's give you a name, let's call it Xiaohua." Xiaohua seemed to be extremely useful, and immediately stretched out her front paws and grabbed Ye Xingchen's hand, her eyes narrowing into a line again. Ye Xingchen was amused for a while, Xiaohua was really invincible and cute. Immediately stood up, I don't know if Xiaohua can understand, "Xiaohua, do you know that there are medicinal materials here and there" Such a big Wutai Mountain, there should be a lot of medicinal materials of lower quality, after all, not any herbs are as rare as Guixin Lotus.
The little leopard's eyes swirled, and he suddenly grabbed Ye Xingchen's calf, then turned around and ran away. Ye Xingchen was a spirit, "There really is", and quickly chased after him.
"Zhimu, Baiqian, peony, rush, ephedra..." Ye Xingchen actually read it out. This kind of thing, Ye Xingchen has never been exposed to before, and the old smoker can keep it in his heart with just one finger, and the old smoker's ability is not small. Ye Xingchen was secretly shocked by one in the jungle
The thin grass that resembles a rat's tail attracted me.
Black grass, also known as sage, has a bitter taste, slightly cold grass, and is non-toxic. Ye Xingchen stopped and walked towards the sage. Unexpectedly, another leopard rushed out and clawed at Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen's eyes were cold, and his body retreated sharply to the other side. "Where did the brute come from" After scolding, Ye Xingchen saw the little flower standing in front of him.
Xiaohua's face lost its cuteness at this time, and was replaced by anger, and the instinct of a carnivore was drawn out. Xiaohua looked at the big leopard fiercely, without the slightest intention of retreating, and kept roaring from Xiaohua's mouth. This is where the big and small leopards begin to confront each other. The big leopard roared suddenly, and its body jumped towards Xiaohua to bite, and Xiaohua no longer hesitated when she saw this, and roared lowly, and rushed towards the former.
"Does this leopard eat the same kind of leopard?" Ye Xingchen was a little puzzled, Erfeng Mountain fought against the wolves that day, it seemed that Xiaohua's father was the leader of the leopard, why did this leopard shoot at Xiaohua? Could it be to grab the position of the leader? In the show Animal World, Ye Xingchen naturally knows that carnivores, even if it is a monkey, an animal like a rhinoceros will have a clan infighting, and it is the position of the leader who fights. However, what made him even more interested was whether the little leopard that had eaten the Bone Pill could fight with the big leopard, after all, the little flower was a leopard, how could he be bloodless in his bones, if he was bloodless, wouldn't it be like a cat to be slaughtered? Ye Xingchen would not agree to this, and the Bone Pill was not an ordinary meat that could be eaten after eating, and the Bone Pill taken by people was enough to make him inexplicable to the fourth level of Qi training.
This is actually Ye Xingchen's misunderstanding, and the old smoker didn't explain it to him, after all, Ye Xingchen's cultivation is too low, and of course Ye Xingchen should not talk about secrets such as the lotus seal. Therefore, Ye Xingchen always thought that it was the Bone Refining Pill that made him suddenly become the fourth layer of Qi cultivation.
The figures of one big and one small were already entwined together, and the two heads turned to each other to bite each other's necks, and after the fight, they began to fight the front paws again. Although the two leopards seem to be evenly matched, Xiaohua has suffered inexperienced losses several times, and there are dangers. Fortunately, the Bone Pill was given to Xiaohua to eat. Ye Xingchen said secretly. Unexpectedly, Xiaohua was hit by a big leopard and hit the stump. Xiaohua didn't let out a low roar in pain, and before she could react, what greeted her was a big leopard with a big mouth and a big bite towards Xiaohua!
Ye Xingchen's eyes were cold, and his right hand made a fist,
"Damn, the little flower of labor and management can be bitten by a brute?!"
