Chapter 8 Calamus and the magic stick in the eyes of Zhang's mother

"Where is my special meow" Zhang Bairen sighed weakly, although he heard the people in the village say that this place is in the land of Hebei, but his mother has an extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance, and she is definitely not an ordinary woman, and she is familiar with the scriptures, which confirms the extraordinaryness of her mother. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Compared with those who are illiterate, it is still their own mother who is more reliable.

"What is the army of the imperial court doing outside this fortress?" this is something that Zhang Bairen should figure out as soon as possible.

Zhang Bairen probably had a guess about his location, it was in the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia generation in the later generations, as for the specific location, Zhang Bairen was not sure, but it was definitely the closest to Hebei.

"Outside the Saiwai is deserted and bitterly cold, for the people of the Central Plains, it is where the barbarians are, but there is a court army that sneaked into the Saiwai, stationed under the noses of the Turks, and built a small earthen city, obviously planning to make long-term preparations, and the Turkic army has not been surrounded for a long time, but only sent people to harass it, which seems a little strange" Zhang Bairen gnawed on the bark, no...... It's chicken bones, secretly suspicious.

"Don't think too much about you, kid," Mother Zhang glanced at Zhang Bairen.

"Mother, are we going to stay outside the gate forever?" Zhang Bairen looked at Zhang's mother, he came to the Sui Dynasty to walk once, if it is the end of the old Guan, it is really ridiculous, in the future Sui and Tang Dynasty disputes, heroes have emerged, and there is a Shinto hanging, there must be differences with the real history, if it is called Zhang Bairen to die here, Zhang Bairen is absolutely unwilling.

"Hmph, what's so good about the Guannei? There is a Son of Heaven in charge of you, and there are countless corrupt officials who oppress you, bullying men and women are rampant, there is no royal law, where can you get this freedom outside the fortress, although it is said that there is no prosperity in the Central Plains, but it is at ease, there is no Heavenly King Lao Tzu to control, what's wrong" Zhang's mother glared at Zhang Bairen: "In short, you are not allowed to have this idea again, tomorrow I will ask you to marry the girl of your Uncle Zhang's family, get married and have children as soon as possible, and pass on the ancestry." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang's mother ignored Zhang Bairen, turned around and walked out of the house, and went to the outhouse to pack her things.

The sky gradually darkened, Zhang Bairen put down the chopsticks, put away the dishes and chopsticks, sighed softly, lit the dim oil lamp, and looked at the books in front of him in a daze.

As the saying goes, people have no long-term worries, and the wind and cold outside the plug are very strong, and they are now weak, so they need to prepare early.

And the food in the Sui and Tang dynasties is not very clean, in the past three or four years, Zhang Bairen feels that he must have roundworms in his stomach.

"Pills" Zhang Bairen secretly pondered what pills he should refine, many pills are too young, and they are deserted outside the border, so they can't find them at all, what to refine, even if they know the way of alchemy, it is difficult to practice.

"There is a pill, maybe you can try it, but this calamus is hard to find! Especially in this bitter cold place! But the garrison must communicate with the Central Plains, and this matter may be found from the garrison" Zhang Bairen looked at the books in his hand.

In the previous life, there was a pill, called 'calamus wonderful pill', calamus belongs to water, is the essence of water, the spirit grass of the gods, the treasure of the great sage, since the Song Dynasty, the hermits in the mountains are all taken.

This Dan Fang Xing in Emperor Wu of Liang, when Emperor Wu of Liang was in the immortal side, searching for the world's wise men, looking for sages, at this time Lu Louyun entered the table: in the past, the doctor Dongfang Shuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also an immortal. But I still respect the calamus, and I wish Your Majesty to follow it. Liang is effective and obedient, eliminating all diseases, smart and refreshing.

This is a record of Taoist classics, but it is just a deification of the medicinal effect of this iris pill.

However, calamus grass is indeed a heavenly spirit and a goblin, and the treatment of diseases is mainly based on God.

Immortals respect the Tao, have a gentle nature, and are based on medicine. The calamus is sheng, the pu is pu, and the spirit is also the spirit. It can save all diseases, prolong life and strengthen ambition, and stay in the child.

However, calamus grass is not eaten indiscriminately, it still needs to be refined, and this refining method is a secret that is not passed on, but it happens that Zhang Bairen knows it.

If you want to refine this calamus grass, from picking to refining, it is a secret that is not passed on, there are few calamus grass in this northern land, if you invite someone to collect medicine, wouldn't it be a leak of the Danfang?

Zhang Bairen began to have a headache, he was not in that prosperous place, he was young and had not yet succeeded, and he couldn't do anything.

"Mother, have you ever heard of calamus?" Zhang Bairen looked at Zhang's mother opposite.

"Calamus?" Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I've heard, what are you asking about this?"

"The child heard that calamus grass can be eaten after ten months. Two months, except for cold diseases. In March, he was cured. In four years, there is more than enough spirit. Five years, the bone marrow is full. Six years, the color is shiny, like a child. Seven years, white and black. Eight years later, the tooth fell and was reborn. Nine years, smooth skin. Ten years, the face is like a peach blossom. Eleven years, light bones. Twelve years, forever is a real person, eternal life, face like a hibiscus, servant all spirits, essence and evil are not close, and disasters will disappear forever. The rise of this medicine is unknown to the world. Those who get it will calm the heart and invigorate the qi, strengthen the will and strengthen the spirit, fill the marrow and replenish the essence, and the hair and mustache are black. If you can be convinced, you will always live forever" Speaking of this, Zhang Bairen looked at Zhang's mother: "If you can get calamus, you can make your mother live longer, and your youth will last forever." ”

Mother Zhang was stunned when she heard this: "Which one said that calamus has such a miraculous effect? Although the world regards calamus as a medicinal herb, my son's remarks are inevitably a bit exaggerated! Don't think nonsense." ”

Zhang Bairen was stunned when he heard this: "This is not what the child said, but what Bian Que and Liu Gen said." ”

"You are young, where do you know about calamus?" Zhang Mu looked at Zhang Bairen with a pair of eyes, although she was still gentle, but there was a trace of coldness in her gentleness.

"No, what is said in this book" Looking at the inexplicable sternness in Zhang's mother's eyes, Zhang Bairen was stunned for a moment.

Mother Zhang took the book and looked through it slightly, it was indeed mentioned calamus, this book is a pharmacopoeia, and it is natural to mention calamus.

"My mother has been in contact with some alchemists before, pretending to be ghosts all day long, exaggerating, they are all chickens and dogs and thieves, you must not learn from that alchemist" Zhang's mother glared at Zhang Bairen.

Zhang Bairen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then pretended not to care and said: "The child just saw the magic of this calamus grass and wanted to try it!"

Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly, fortunately, he had already prepared, and before mentioning calamus, he had already done enough homework, otherwise he would be in big trouble today, and in the face of Zhang's mother's scolding, how should he respond?

This is also a wake-up call for Zhang Bairen, and there will be things to hide from Zhang's mother in the future.

"Calamus does have some effect, go to the market in the future to see if there is a replacement," Zhang Mu said.

Zhang Bairen sighed secretly in his heart, even if there is calamus, if he doesn't know how to concoct it, it must be the effect of the medicine, and the hard work is in vain.

Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Bairen, went to the outhouse to fill the fire, Zhang Bairen slowly opened the book in his hand, the above: "Calamus grass can cure miasma, wind disease, can kill roundworms in the stomach, can treat stroke, hand and foot paralysis, win weight and weakness, and cure all winds and waist and feet, half of the body, hand and foot paralysis, paralysis and bias, five labor and seven injuries, hemorrhoids, eye and foot pain, abdominal irregularity, or diarrhea or dysentery, so the disease is not bad, take it forever to eradicate the root, and treat women postpartum blood dizziness, rush to the heart, red and white belt, and even the death of women postpartum blood sickness ......."

"In the future, the matter of calamus grass still needs to be carried out in secret, and this cultivation matter, I can't mention half a word, looking at my mother's expression today, it seems that something is wrong" Zhang Bairen closed the book, silently closed his eyes, and began to comprehend the four methods.

The candle flame was dark, and Zhang's mother didn't know when she came to Zhang Bairen, looked at Zhang Bairen quietly, and sighed softly after a long time: "Bairen, tell your mother, did you meet any strange people or strange things in the mountains the day before yesterday?"

"Why did my mother say that?" Zhang Bairen opened his eyes and said in amazement.

"Alas!" Mother Zhang sighed lightly: "You are still young, don't touch people indiscriminately, you are deceived by those gods, you talk all day long, fool people, and kill people's wives and disperse, that is a sin." ”

"The child knows" Zhang Bairen tried to make himself more well-behaved.

"Mother has nothing now, only you are the only one left, if you also leave your mother, then your mother really can't live......" Two lines of tears slipped down Zhang's mother's eyes.

"Why does my mother say this, the child said calamus, it's not for the good of the mother, do a filial piety for the mother" Zhang Bairen hurriedly pounced on the cuteness.
