However, he said that Li Ningxiang took Murong Yu straight to a clearing not far from the valley mouth.

The green grass is overgrown in the open space, the group of fragrant flowers is vibrant, the surrounding trees are green and green, towering into the clouds, going up the mountain, straight into the sky, the breeze blows, and the fragrance is overflowing. The valley is surrounded by strange thorn plants, which exude a strange aroma, the aroma is rich and smelly, probably to prevent the invasion of wild beasts, and probably to protect the strange flowers and plants of the valley. A winding and rugged path stretches out into the distance, passing a small waterfall not far away, stretching into the unknown distance. At the bottom of the waterfall is a waterhole, and the faint sound of flowing water can be heard running down a narrow river channel hidden in the jungle.

At this moment, there are already four or five children in the open space holding wooden sticks and comparing them to swords, imitating the heroes in their minds, chasing and frolicking each other. For a while, chickens and rabbits flew together, and I don't know how many strange flowers and plants were broken.

Probably all the playful children in this world are just like that, and this kind of life really makes people angry and happy.

"Sister. ”

"Sister Xiang. ”

The children ran towards them.

"You little monkeys are running around again, beware of being caught and eaten by the boars. Li Ningxiang pretended to be evil and said fiercely.

"No, I learned martial arts from the third uncle. The third uncle said that in a few years, I will be as powerful as him, and I will be able to protect everyone. A little boy of about five or six years old said.

Li Ningxiang touched the little boy's head and said, "Xiao Jingyang, you are the best, then you have to work hard, study martial arts hard, and only when you grow up can you protect everyone." ”

"I will, Sister Xiang. ”

"Go play by yourselves, don't spoil grandpa's medicinal herbs. Li Ningxiang then advised: "Don't run too far. ”

"Got it, Sister Xiang"

Looking at the children who ran to the side to frolic after a cigarette, Li Ningxiang smiled and said to Murong Yu, who was speechless: "These are the children of the senior brother and the family, the little boy just now is the son of the senior brother named He Jingyang, he doesn't like to learn medical skills very much on weekdays, but he is naughty and likes martial arts, and has always longed for the end of the world of chivalry and righteousness. ”

After that, he went straight to the ground and lay down, the grass on the ground was green, and the light fragrance of flowers hit from time to time between his noses, which made people feel sleepy. Although it is the midday sun, the gentle sunlight shines on the ground through the layers of dense forests, and it is very refreshing to fall on the body lazily, but it does not make people feel hot.

Murong Yu didn't know how to respond, so he sat down close to her, hugged his knees, stared at Li Ningxiang beside him, and didn't dare to relax for a moment. Perhaps because of the fear of insects and snakes, he is unusually vigilant.

Li Ningxiang looked at Murong Yu with a pair of big shining eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Yu, have you noticed that although there are poultry in the valley, you can't see any birds and mosquitoes, do you know what the reason is?"

Hearing this question, Murong Yu remembered that in the past month, even if the lamp was lit in the middle of the night, he had not been disturbed by any mosquitoes and flies, although he had doubts in his heart, he did not think about it, and he couldn't help but feel strange at this time.

"Look at the same kind of flowers and plants planted around the valley. He went on to say, "This plant is called Atractylodes. ”

Only then did Murong Yu think that it was recorded in the medical classics, "Atractylodes, pungent, strong taste, and sexual dispersion can sweat." Enter the Yang Ming and Taiyin meridians. It can also dissipate dampness, remove the cold air in the chest, clear the miasma of the mountain, relieve the gas of plague ghouls, and especially stop the distress. However, there is more scattering than supplementation, and it cannot be compared with atractylodes. "Shennong Sutra" says: If you want to live forever, you should serve the mountain spirit. This is said to be atractylodes, not to atractylodes. Atractylodes can ward off evil spirits, but cannot be used to correct them. ”

"Grandpa planted all kinds of flowers and plants with different medicinal properties inside and outside the valley, and surrounded the area, and there were various medicinal barriers to disperse wild beasts in the outermost periphery, so there was no need to worry about any insects and beasts. ”

Only then did Murong Yu suddenly understand.

The breeze blows and spreads with a rich aroma, which can't help but make people feel refreshed. Murong Yu also let go of the vigilance in his heart, sat quietly beside Li Ningxiang, took out the "Fengling Jue" from his arms and flipped through it, and began to practice the moves described in the book in his mind.

Suddenly, Li Ningxiang changed her posture and pillowed her head on Murong Yu's lap.

Murong Yu was a little nervous, but he didn't dare to move away.

"Don't move. ”

Murong Yu was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, senior sister." ”

In this way, one person sits quietly looking at a book, and one person lies quietly in the arms of another person.

The two were relatively speechless, but they were also envious of others.

I don't know how long it has been.

"Brother Xiao Yu, do you know what the outside world is like?"

Before Murong Yu could answer, Li Ningxiang said to herself, "I really want to go out and see the outside world, I haven't seen what the outside world is like when I'm so old, is it like what is written in a book." Grandpa always said that there are a lot of bad guys and robbers in the outside world, and he always didn't let my brothers go out to play. ”

Murong Yu held the scroll, looking at the person in his arms in a daze, while silently in a daze, he couldn't help but think of the time with his parents in his mind, and couldn't help but feel sad secretly.

"Brother Xiao Yu, you can take me out to play in the future. ”

"Hmm. ”

"There are a lot of bad people out there, Brother Xiao Yu, they will protect me. ”

"Yes. ”

"Will you always protect me?"

"Yes. ”

"What if someone bullies me. ”

"Then I'll kill him. ”

"Silly brother, grandpa said that killing people is a bad thing, I don't like it very much, and I don't like you to kill people. ”

"I don't want you to be bullied. ”

"What if Brother Xiao Yu bullies me. ”

"I will never bully my sister. ”

"Why?"

"Because you're a senior sister."

"What a stupid brother. ”

......

One day not long after, there was a small episode, and the third senior brother also left the valley, taking a lot of family members with him.

The days are getting cleaner and more lonely.

In this way, time flies, in a calm atmosphere, they drum the morning bell at dusk, autumn and spring, spring goes to autumn, cold comes and summer.

During the day, Li Ningxiang accompanied him on the grass outside the valley, in the courtyard, under the trees, and by the stream, reading, playing, and practicing swordsmanship. At night, Murong Yu continued to copy books in the room, not knowing the passage of time and the changes of the years from time to time.

A room full of books had been copied and replaced.

This kind of life is really unimaginable, although it is not bitter, but it is also boring, fortunately, there is no external object to linger, but it is difficult to bury the uninhibited and dissolute hearts of teenagers.

In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

On this day, Master Li Zheshi sent Senior Brother He Chong to summon Murong Yu.

After Murong Yu bowed one by one, the senior brother began to evaluate the results of his silent writing, from the medical holy scriptures of "Shennong's Materia Medica" and "The Emperor's Neijing", to the legends of the sons of "I Ching" and "Bagua".

Murong Yu answered as soon as he opened his mouth, saying a ten, and from time to time he could give different opinions, but he was not rote memorization.

Li Ochre kept smiling while listening, and interjected a few words from time to time.

After a long time, Li Ochre said, "Yu'er, you have been in the beginner for more than five years, and most of the medical classics and secret books in the market are also well memorized. ”

"I ask you, do you know what a healer is. ”

"Master Qiqi, the so-called healer, benevolence. If you are skilled and unkind, then greed for medicine is enough to mislead the world's lives; If there is no benevolence, quack medicine is enough to kill people without knowing it. ”

"Not bad. As the saying goes, a doctor is not only a doctor who understands theory but does not pay attention to practice, and if so, it is no different from quacks in this world. From now on, you don't have to copy books anymore, and in the future, you can follow your senior brother to learn how to recognize medicine, cure diseases, and save people. ”

"Yes, Master, the disciple will live up to the high expectations of the master and the senior brother. Murong Yu hurriedly responded.

He Chong also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, the disciple will do his best to educate the junior and the younger brother." ”

"Chong'er, with you, I'm very relieved. Then he said, "If the jade is not cut, it will be strict." ”

"Yes, Master, disciple understands. ”

"Healers, always have a benevolent heart, as the so-called, those who are not close to the Buddha cannot be doctors, and those who are not close to immortals cannot be doctors. The principles of medicine also change from person to person, and we must not be rigid and conservative. It is important to be gradual and down-to-earth, and you must not be greedy for merit and lack of greed. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, the world is impatient and self-defeating, and the poor have no place to go. You must always keep it in mind and never abandon it. ”

"Follow Master's teachings. The crowd answered.

"All right, you all go down. After speaking, Li ochre turned and left.

"Brother Xiao Yu, come on. Li Ningxiang followed behind Li Ochre and sat down with a grimace towards Murong Yu.

At this time, Li Ningxiang was already in the prime of her life, with a sweet voice, bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful jade hands, picturesque eyebrows, and skin like snow, which looked very delicate and lovely.
