Chapter 933: A Dead Horse as a Live Horse Doctor
After speaking, he took a step forward, bent down, scraped the bottom of the plate with his fingernails, and puffed up a small pile of powder, Xi Yao pinched a little, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then put it in his mouth, savored it, he couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, anyway, his eyes were wide open.
Jiang Xiaobai and the others were so nervous that they looked at the girl's cherry mouth, and their hearts fluttered.
Xi Yao spat at this time, turned his head to look at Elder Xi, and said, "Master, this Qingdai powder is the same as the one I handed in last time." ”
When Jiang Xiaobai and the others heard this, their hearts sank, as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and they didn't see the bottom for a long time.
Elder Xi's face darkened significantly.
Unexpectedly, Xi Yao walked up to Jiang Xiaobai at this time, pointed to his nose, giggled, and said, "You are dead!" After speaking, he jumped back and stood beside Elder Xi.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't want to sit still, but he didn't have the strength to fight hard with others, so he could only fight for it, and then he hugged his fists and said: "Elder, you have also seen that we are conscientious and meticulous in the process of concoction, but this method of concocting has been handed down since ancient times, and we can't change it, it can only be concocted to such a quality, not caused by our slackness!"
Elder Xi said, "Then why can other Star Palaces concoct high-grade indigo powder?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Maybe people have a special method of concocting it, right?"
Elder Xi said, "Then why don't you have a special concoction method?"
Jiang Xiaobai felt that this guy was unreasonable, and really wanted to shout, Lao Tzu is a farmer, not a medical student!
Elder Xi pointed at him and said, "It is precisely because you follow the ancient system that you will rest on your laurels, live comfortably every day, and do not want to forge ahead, so our medicinal materials will deteriorate, if I don't kill chickens and monkeys today, to set an example, I estimate that in another 100,000 years, the quality of this Qingdai powder will not improve!"
The drug supervisor was a little hesitant, after all, he was his own nephew, unlike the one who had just beheaded the East Nursery Supervisor, so he didn't hesitate at all, and then said: "Elder, please be merciful, I have already cut one just now, and I have already killed chickens and monkeys, and it is useless to keep cutting it, it is better to give him a little time and let him improve the processing method, maybe it will be fine next year." ”
Elder Xi said, "You mean you want me to kill you?"
The drug supervisor was taken aback, although he was reluctant to kiss his nephew, but in comparison, his own life was important, but let him do it himself, he really couldn't do it, then he swallowed his saliva, looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and said: "Yushang, I've done my best, don't blame me!"
Afraid that his nephew would scold him and make him unable to get off the stage, he beckoned to his subordinates and asked them to do it.
It was impossible for Bu Xiu and the others to watch Jiang Xiaobai being killed, so they were ready to use their weapons and fight with them.
At this critical juncture, I heard Jiang Xiaobai yelling: "Wait a minute!"
The subordinates behind the drug superintendent were just about to make a move, when they stopped.
Elder Xi's face turned cold, and he said, "What, do you want to rebel?"
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare! I can't hide it, since I learned that the quality of our Star Palace's indigo powder is not as good as that of other Star Palaces, I am like a fish in my throat, I can't sleep at night, in private I have been trying new processing methods, after my thousands of experiments, finally the emperor lived up to his wishes, and I successfully experimented, the indigo powder concocted by me in this way is of absolutely high quality, and it will only make the indigo powder of other Star Palaces ashamed of themselves." ”
Elder Xi sneered and said, "Then why didn't you use it just now?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I can't hide it, there are two reasons, first, my processing method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it takes at least three or four days, I'm afraid that the elders can't wait; Elder rest assured, your visit this time will definitely be worth it!"
The drug supervisor is a belly count, others don't know his nephew, but he knows it well, if he plays with women and researches a new posture, he can believe it, but if he studies a new method of concocting and kills him, he won't believe it. It is estimated that this is just a procrastination plan by his precious nephew, who wants to live for three or five more days, that's all, but as an uncle, it is not easy to debunk, so he doesn't speak.
Xi Yao pointed at him and said with a smile: "You just want to live for two more days, right? Who believes it? My master won't fall for you!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Girl, this is wrong, the elder is also a master of alchemy, dealing with medicinal materials every day, and has seen the concoction of countless medicines, whether it is true or false, he will know it at the beginning, it is impossible for me to lie here and delay for three or four days, if I want to live, I rely on strength, but to play tricks! If it is really delayed for three or four days, then three or four days for me, it is really better to live than to die, death is not terrible, what is terrible is the process of waiting for death." ”
Xi Yao turned his head to look at Elder Xi and said, "Master, what he said seems to have some truth! It's a mule or a horse, if you don't let him pull it out and slip around, I like to see him talk nonsense!"
Elder Xi turned his head and glared at her, and said, "It's not serious!"
Xi Yao smiled.
Elder Xi turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaobai again and said, "Okay, I'll give you a few days, a dead horse as a live horse doctor, I want to see what tricks you can play?"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, turned his head to look at the drug supervisor and said, "You go and prepare ten catties of lime for me!"
The drug supervisor was stunned: "Lime, why do you want lime?"
Elder Xi said: "If you want to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense?"
The drug supervisor didn't dare to say much, but he didn't go by himself, but ordered his subordinates to go down.
The method of using lime to conjure medicinal materials has existed since ancient times, lime can enhance astringency, dampness, insecticide, and reduce toxicity, but I have never heard of using lime to concoct horse blue, and I feel that these two things are incompatible, but it is precisely because of this that Elder Xi's heart moved, after all, if you want to concoct high-quality green daisy powder, you must innovate, and using lime, it sounds quite innovative.
Jiang Xiaobai turned his head again and instructed the slave: "Cut me a hundred catties of Ma Lan, weigh it with a scale, one pound is not more, one pound is not less!"
The slaves answered, turned and went back to chopping Ma Lan.
When Ma Lan was cut, the drug supervisor sent someone to get the scale, weighed a hundred catties, and then put it into the largest wooden barrel, poured water, and completely submerged Ma Lan.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "The lime is not needed now, prepare it first, now it's okay, just stay up slowly, and wait for Ma Lan to soak the branches and leaves before proceeding to the next step!"
Elder Xi looked at the sky, the sky was already dark, and it was about to get dark, although he didn't believe it in his heart, but seeing this nurseryman's calm appearance, it seemed that he was also a little tricky, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to take a look in a few days!" But he was also afraid that this nurse was just delaying, and during this period, he took the opportunity to slip away, then his face would be lost, so he turned his head to look at the drug supervisor and said: "I don't want to see any mistakes happen these days, otherwise your life will be difficult to protect!"
Of course, the drug supervisor knew what he meant, for fear that his precious nephew would cheat and take the opportunity to slip away, he himself was like this in his heart, he didn't believe that his nephew could create a new concoction process by himself, he probably wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, although he was reluctant to let his nephew die, but he was even more reluctant to die by himself, so he said: "Elder rest assured, there will be no accidents." ”
Elder Xi pointed at Jiang Xiaobai again and said, "You can stay here for the past few days, bless your medicinal materials and don't have problems!"
Jiang Xiaobai responded.
Elder Xi went back to the hall to rest under the leadership of the drug supervisor, and before the drug supervisor left, he sent dozens of masters to look at Jiang Xiaobai, and he was also afraid that his baby nephew would really run away.
After Elder Xi left, Jiang Xiaobai let the slaves disperse and let them go back to eat, only Steward Wu and Bu Xiu did not leave, and there were dozens of masters standing on the side.
Jiang Xiaobai said to Steward Wu: "You go back, we will prepare some wine and food!"
Steward Wu answered and went back.
Bu Xiu saw that the guards were far away, so he approached Jiang Xiaobai and whispered, "Alliance leader, will you escape tonight?"
Jiang Xiaobai whispered, "Can you escape?"
Buxiu said: "Then you have to find a way to escape? If you don't escape, you can only live for three or four days." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I can't escape, I can only gamble!"
Buxiu said: "Don't tell me, your method of concocting is useful?"
Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath and said: "I don't know, I used to learn a medical skill in a superficial way, called Chinese medicine, and the green daisy powder in Chinese medicine is concocted in this way, but I have only read the text, and I have not seen anyone concoct it with my own eyes." ”
Bu Xiu said: "So you are serious?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "It's just to catch the ducks on the shelves!"
Bu Xiu said: "But that's just the concoction method of the mortal realm? Can it work in the immortal realm? After all, people are refining the elixir!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Human law earth, earth law heaven, heaven law Tao, Tao law nature, heaven and earth all things, whether it is immortals or mortals, it is impossible to override the laws of nature, although the places are different, but I believe that the rules of all things are the same." ”
Bu Xiu was stunned and said: "What do you mean, mortals have to have children, and immortals have to have children, anyway!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said: "The words are not crude, and the essence of the Great Dao is deep!"
Buxiu said: "What if the bet is lost?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You can gamble if you escape, and you can also gamble if you stay, but I feel that if you stay, the chance of winning is greater!"
Buxiu sighed: "This rain is really a damned person! I didn't expect to trap us when I was dying!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Maybe this is the will of heaven!"
