Chapter 13: The Dew of Longevity
In the evening, the sky was dark, and all the birds returned to their nests, and tonight on the sixteenth, the moon rose early, still very round, and the moonlight reflected the dew in the grass crystal clear, like water pearls attached to the branches and leaves.
Hu Jiu, who had practiced for a day with high intensity, was also a little tired and thirsty, so he pinched his left hand slightly, and suddenly all the dewdrops on the grass and trees within a hundred meters nearby began to involuntarily levitate into the air, like small stars, suddenly all the dewdrops were all close together, and then slowly condensed into a large ball of pure water.
Hu Jiu opened his mouth, a large stream of dew flew towards him, and he drank it down his throat in one gulp, the clear dew was luscious and refreshing, although there was no trace of taste, but it was actually more thirst-quenching than tea, Hu Jiu suddenly felt the water spirit bead in his body trembled slightly, his eyes widened, and he was very happy.
So he began to condense the dew around him, gulping and drinking until he couldn't hold it anymore, then he stopped, and then ran the water trick, and found that the water spirit beads in the dantian seemed to be more condensed, and the color was slightly darker, it seems that this rootless water also has some beneficial effects on the water spirit beads.
And obviously felt that his physical fitness had become stronger, so Hu Jiu put all the dew he couldn't drink just now into his water spirit bead, and then walked home happily.
In the mountains and forests at the end of summer, the temperature difference between night and day is quite large, and a cool breeze hit, Hu Jiudu suddenly felt a little cold behind him, so he accelerated his pace and returned home.
After returning home, Hu Jiu did not go to rest immediately, but prepared three small glass bottles for infusion, put them in his room, and suspended all the dew he had just collected in the air to form a water balloon, and then circled the water balloon with one hand on his cheek, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, with one finger of one hand, the dewdrop balls suspended in the air suddenly surged, as if they were constantly being squeezed and blended, and half an hour later, a large basin of dew condensed into three fist-sized balls of water, which were shiningly suspended in the air of the room.
Hu Jiu seemed to be a little dissatisfied, his fingers still kept tapping in the air, and he injected something.
"The wood is straight. Qu, bend also. I am straight and stretch out. Straight, can bend and stretch the vitality characteristics, wood for vitality. ”
The sparkling dew began to slowly turn pale blue, like the juice of a plant, and it seemed to be alive and well, as if it could live forever after a sip.
Hu Jiu looked at his masterpiece, but still shook his head, and then pointed around the water balloon with both hands one after another.
"The water is moistened. Moist, warm. Down, down, root. Moisten downwards and warm the source downward. Hydrated roots. ”
Hu Jiu quickly withdrew his hands, only to see that the pale cyan liquid began to turn emerald green, and a faint fragrance hit him, permeating his hut, just taking a sip was intoxicating and refreshing.
"It's done!Hahaha, this rootless water essence blended with wood spiritual power and water spiritual power will definitely strengthen the body, have a miraculous effect on treating diseases, and even prolong life after drinking for a long time. ”
"Let's just call you 'Longevity Dew'!"
Hu Jiu couldn't hide his excitement, and packed the Changsheng Dew in three glass bottles, and he swallowed some of the remaining ones directly, instantly feeling a soft strange power running in his body, constantly moisturizing and repairing every organ and cell in his body, and the fatigue of the past few days of cultivation was instantly swept away.
"These two bottles of elixir are enough for my grandmother and uncle to use for many years, and for me they are only thirst quenching and refreshing now, and I only keep one bottle, but for my grandmother and uncle, as long as they drink one drop a day, it must be a miracle cure. Hu Jiu smiled.
I thought that my grandmother and uncle could get rid of the sick, strengthen the body, and even prolong the life of the people. He couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart, he could finally do a little thing for them.
The next morning, Hu Jiu took his grandmother and uncle to the hall and sat down, saying that he had something to give them.
Grandma, who kept coughing, smiled kindly and said, "Ah Jiu, what other good things do you have for grandma?"
Uncle Deng Jianjun also added: "Yes, Ah Jiu, don't make trouble, my uncle still has to go to drive cattle!"
Hu Jiu looked at Deng Jianjun with a smile and said: "Uncle, when you encounter wind and rain, are your legs and body very sore, and you still feel a little weak recently, and you always feel very tired and lack of qi and blood?"
Deng Jianjun looked at Hu Jiu with wide eyes, and was about to speak.
Hu Jiu turned his head to stare at his grandmother and said, "Grandma, have you been coughing more frequently in the morning and in the middle of the night recently, and you walk with light steps, feeling like you are about to fall." ”
Grandma's eyes were full of doubts, and she patted Hu Jiu's shoulder and said, "How do you kid know? Are you secretly observing me and your uncle?"
"My grandmother and uncle have been studying medicine lately, and I want to be a doctor. ”
"Uncle, now that autumn is approaching, you are suffering from stagnation of liver qi, and your liver fire is vigorous, coupled with your old diseases, which causes your qi and blood to stagnate. And grandma, if you are deficient in lung qi, you are not solid, because you have been a vegetarian for a long time, your body is yang deficiency, and cold is born from it, so you all need to make warm supplements. Hu Jiu said and took out a book of Compendium of Materia Medica with a worn-out cover from his back.
With a proud face, he continued: "Look, this is the medicine book that Uncle Wang lent me, I got his guidance, and now I can also heal." ”
Grandma and Uncle were full of disbelief in their four eyes, but their own symptoms had never been mentioned to anyone. At this time, their hearts naturally blossomed, Ah Jiu's reading performance in the village has been very poor, and now he has a craft, so he will not worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law in the village in the future.
Grandma smiled and said, "Our little Ah Jiu has really grown up!
Hu Jiu took out the two bottles of Changsheng Dew prepared from the house, and said to his grandmother and uncle: "Grandma, uncle, you must believe me, this is my newly developed herbal formula, which has a good therapeutic effect on your symptoms and can prolong your life!"
Without waiting for his grandmother and uncle to question, he continued to say seriously: "You can only drink one drop a day, and you must not drink too much!"
Grandma and uncle looked at Hu Jiu's serious appearance, as if they felt that they were a living little miracle doctor, so they couldn't hold back their laughter.
Although they don't believe in any longevity dew in their hearts, their old problems have been repeated for decades, and the doctors in the township are helpless, let alone the hairy boy Ah Jiu.
But they didn't want to dampen Hu Jiu's enthusiasm, because it was rare to see this kid so focused on doing one thing.
Grandma smiled and said, "Okay! Our Hu Jiu is really filial! Grandma doesn't drink much, just a drop, his uncle, drink a drop." As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Jianjun and squeezed his eyes.
Saying that, my grandmother opened the glass bottle, and in front of Hu Jiu, she really only drank a drop, and my uncle Deng Jianjun looked at the green liquid in front of him with a little embarrassment, but when he saw his mother's eyes, he also opened the elixir and drank a drop.
Hu Jiu looked at his grandmother and uncle's trust in him, and thought excitedly in his heart, "Fortunately, this morning, I borrowed this compendium of materia medica from Uncle Wang, and I quickly read it and recited it throughout. ”
A drop of immortal dew fell into their stomachs, and grandma and uncle instantly stood in place, this drop of emerald green liquid slid down the esophagus of the two, turning into a surging warm current flowing in all directions in the body, and the wood spirit power and rootless water essence were supported by the water spirit power and quickly melted into their limbs, repairing the dried meridians and old cells in their bodies.
After a long time, my uncle and grandmother woke up, and my grandmother hurriedly told my uncle to hurry up and close the door of the hall, and then pulled Hu Jiu to the inner room and asked, "Ah Jiu, you tell the truth, where did this immortal dew come from?" The uncle also looked at Hu Jiu with a shocked face and doubts.
"Grandma, uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? This is my own recipe. Hu Jiu obviously underestimated the medicinal effect of this elixir.
"Ah Jiu, is this elixir really developed by yourself?" the uncle asked as he added.
"Yes, I guess I'm very talented, so I made such a prescription. Hu Jiu replied with some flustery.
Grandma and uncle felt that most of the old problems that had plagued their bodies for decades were directly cured, and their bodies were now comfortable, the cough and soreness disappeared directly, and even the right foot that was injured on the battlefield seemed to have a slight numbness feeling, which made Zheng Jianjun very excited!
This immortal dew is so rebellious, no wonder they are so suspicious.
After his grandmother and uncle told Hu Jiu not to casually leak the matter to people they didn't trust, they let go of Hu Jiu's torture.
