Chapter 24 Anyang paper is expensive
At this time, it is early autumn, and it is neither warm nor cold.
Walking on the palace road, the palace wall is high and deep, the red tile and white wall, and the occasional wind passes through the hall, which is refreshing.
Liu Xu walked along the stone road and walked towards the Tai Hospital step by step.
In a short time, it came.
"Uncle Tai, Uncle Tai..." Before entering the inner hall, Liu Xu's uncle had already called one after another.
"Uncle Tai, I'm here. After entering the hall, Liu Xu said quite affectionately.
"Are the injuries on your body healed?" The white-bearded old man was dispensing medicine, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Liu Xu, so he asked.
"That's nature! Liu Xu said.
"Huh, when will I accept you as an apprentice?" the old man put down the medicinal herbs in his hand, obviously stunned.
"Uh?... You can't do this! I even kowtowed, why don't I count if I don't see you for three days? Liu Xu knew that he was forgetful from time to time, so he prepared to reply early.
Today, he is Master Bai Lai's.
The old man made a puzzled expression.
"You won't forget, will you? If you don't want to admit it, give me back kowtow to you, and we don't owe each other. Liu Xu said seriously.
But the old man's face changed suddenly, and he was furious, and said: "Bastard boy, don't say it's you, even Emperor Ming and Emperor Taiming are here, and they don't dare to talk like this." ”
"Yes, yes. I know that Uncle Tai has a high status, but you can't let me kowtow in vain, and don't admit it. Liu Xu gestured aggrieved.
"You bastard, when did I say I wouldn't admit it?" said the old man.
"Master, you admit it again! You see, you can't be angry anymore. I know that Yulin still has two pots of stone wine hidden there, and I will steal them for you tomorrow to honor you. "Liu Xu called for affection.
"Really?" the painting style changed, and the old man asked funny.
"Naturally, it's true!, but master, I have become your closed disciple, can I show off among my classmates?" asked Liu Xugou.
"Closed disciple?" the old man was stunned.
Then he said: "Your talent, you can't be counted as a disciple who opens the door, you can only be named." ”
"Uh? That's not going to work, you said..."
"What did I say! You don't know acupuncture, you don't know acupuncture, you don't know the muscles and veins, I forgot how you were accepted at that time. The old man interrupted.
"Oh, do you have to take the test to accept disciples?" asked Liu Xu casually.
"What do you say?" said the old man continued to dispense the potion.
Liu Xu hurriedly shut up, unwilling to talk more about this.
Then he ran to the old man very flatteringly and said, "Master, I have memorized the Ten Thousand Herbs King Dictionary by heart, and I have also studied pharmacology for a while. Next, will you be able to diagnose the pulse and learn acupuncture?"
"Not enough!" the old man replied with only two words.
"What else?" Liu Xu was unclear.
"If you want to learn medical skills, there are three basic points: knowing medicinal herbs, studying pharmacology, and dispensing prescriptions. The old man taught.
"Then the master will teach me how to make medicines. ”
"The pharmacology is unknown, how to dispense the medicine?" the old man asked.
Liu Xu scratched his head, because he had already understood the pharmacology.
"There are three steps to recognize medicine, color, taste, and shape, how can you rely on the pharmacopoeia alone?" said the old man.
"But there are more than 10 million medicinal materials, how can you see them with your own eyes, taste them with your own mouth, and touch them with your own hands?" asked Liu Xu.
"Why not?" the old man's face turned pale.
Hey?
Liu Xu looked secretly happy, and waited quietly.
The old man really said: "In the Great Inner Medicine King Pavilion, there are more than 10 million medicinal materials collected. If you take my jade seal, why can't you taste it, see its shape, and smell its fragrance?"
"Is it the square seal on the case in the house?"
"What do you say?"
"Can you borrow it from me?" asked Liu Xu shamelessly.
"Let's dry the herbs for a month first. ”
"Oh, master, it occurred to me that I had something to do today, so I left first. Liu Xu turned around and ran, disappearing in a moment.
At this time, the old man put down the medicinal materials in his hand and looked at Liu Xu's back.
The look was indescribable.
Because when is he old, and when is he forgetting?
Just as he said, it is impossible for him to accept disciples who are not familiar with acupuncture, acupuncture points, and tendons.
Everything at the moment is just a chance he gave Liu Xu and himself.
Because back then, he was also such a person.
But to his surprise, he didn't know that this young man was so clever.
So I can't help but have a smile on my face.
Liu Xu left the Tai Hospital and went straight to the Great Inner Medicine King Pavilion.
At the same time, he was weighing a square seal in his hand.
The square seal was secretly swapped by him a few days ago, and the four characters of Chu Huaishan's seal are being engraved.
Liu Xu held it and was very happy.
The Imperial Court is huge, but the Medicine King Pavilion is not far from the Tai Hospital.
About half an hour, Liu Xu came.
took out the square seal, and the guards didn't dare to stop it.
Liu Xu looked for a pen at the frame, glanced at it, tasted it, smelled it, and recorded a taste of medicinal materials.
The medicinal materials of the Yaowang Pavilion are endless, no one disturbs, and Liu Xu distinguishes his intentions.
At the moment, he looks relaxed and at ease.
However, he didn't know that at this moment, his deeds were rumored in the outside world, and he had become a demon.
"Defeat the young master with a sword, and win the first place in Jixia. Wordless stele cliff, Taifu personally carved, Huacai Xuanqing. Such a record, such a talent, is not found in a hundred years. "Someone praises it.
"Three years of hard training, just for a plum blossom sword. The first two of the plum blossom sword met, and there was no lovesickness and no mercy. "There are affectionate people who chant.
Outside the court, there are even rumors, "Qingyang's eldest son, the pinnacle of talent, looks like a god, and is rare in the world." ”
It looks like a god, and this comparison is not trivial.
As a result, the women in the pavilion inside and outside the imperial court thought of spring.
Therefore, for a time, the city was full of wind and rain, and it was endless.
Later, a portrait of the prince of Qingyang was sold for a hundred taels of silver, and the wind and rain brewed to the extreme.
On that day, Anyang paper was expensive.
The statue of Liu Xu is overwhelming, covering the whole city.
These Liu Xu naturally didn't know that he was immersed in the Medicine King Pavilion at this moment.
It wasn't until evening, when the sun was setting, that I went back.
Being familiar with more than 300 medicinal herbs is also worth it.
It was a little late when I arrived at the Fire Palace.
But Luan'er didn't complain, but smiled and filled the table with tonic meals.
"Luan'er, why are you so happy?" asked Liu Xu during the meal.
"Shizi, you don't know yet, it's already spread outside. The girl said.
"Spread what?"
"How have you practiced hard for three years, and how have you defeated the young master with one sword..."The girl was impressive.
"What's so nice about this?" Liu Xu laughed, and at the same time took a piece of eel meat and put it in his mouth, which was very chewy.
"Naturally there is something to be happy about. You have been facing the wall for three years, and now you are a blockbuster, and the princess knows that she will definitely be happy. The girl served Liu Xu a bowl of tiger bone soup.
Liu Xu took a sip and felt a little strange.
It's not the taste that's strange, it's the ingredients of the meal.
It's eel meat again, and it's tiger bone soup, which doesn't look like nourishment, but like nourishment.
"Why are these today's dishes?" asked Liu Xu.
"Shizi, aren't you injured? Oh yes. Today, there is someone from the Jixia School Palace who has specially sent medicine. ”
"What medicine?"
"The jade bottle says it's your reward. Luan Er said casually.
"Chalcedony dew?" asked Liu Xu with his mouth open.
"It seems to be. The girl replied thoughtfully.
"I don't eat it. Prepare me water, I want to take a bath. Liu Xu commanded.
"Shizi, you can eat some more, there are still so many dishes. The girl said.
"I can't eat it. This big night, if I eat too much of this stuff, can you help me or..."
Liu Xu was playing casually, but before she finished speaking, the girl's face turned red.
"Luan'er is going. The girl got up and went to prepare water.
"I'm going to get hot, a big bucket. Liu Xu also smiled awkwardly.
Seeing Liu Xu laughing, the girl lowered her head, and her shame was even greater.
Luan'er does things very timely, especially for her own son.
In less than half an hour, the hot water was ready.
There was a big vat of steam.
Liu Xu held the chalcedony dew in his hand and undressed himself.
"The handmaid undressed the son. The girl said.
"No, you clean up your meal and go down. Liu Xu said indifferently.
But the girl was unmoved.
"I used to want it, but the prince disliked Luan'er. The girl's eyes turned red in an instant.
"Naturally not! I'm here to heal my wounds and bones. "Liu Xu comforted.
The girl remained unmoved.
Liu Xu smiled, walked over and whispered in her ear: "Heal, don't wear a piece of clothing." If you want to come, then we will wash together. ”
Suddenly, the girl's neck turned red, and then she burst into tears.
"Wash yourself, I'll clean up the food." Knowing that Liu Xu's healing could not be disturbed, the girl said.
After a while, the girl left, and Liu Xu was the only one in the room.
He gently opened the jade bottle.
A strange fragrance instantly diffused.
The fragrance is so deep that even if you smell it for the first time, it's hard to forget.
The next moment, gently, Liu Xu poured it into the water.
The chalcedony dew was dark green, and in an instant, the whole bucket of hot water also turned into this color.
Liu Xu Shiran entered the water and soaked it.
The water was extremely hot, and the burning skin was painful, but after he entered the water, he was not moving.
At the moment, his eyes are closed, and his face is calm.
After a few moments, his breathing was even, and he began to breathe.
Breath and breathe, pay attention to regularity, and the free energy in the air is incorporated into his body.
After continuous compression and purification, it finally returned to the dantian.
And when the week was over, Liu Xu opened his eyes.
The water in the bucket is no longer hot, and it is clear at the moment.
As for the chalcedony dew, it was sucked into the veins by him through the skin.
Following.
Before dawn, Liu Xu woke up.
Sit cross-legged and breathe in.
After the two cycles, I suddenly felt light and light, and my body was light.
Faintly, there is a clear feeling that the accumulation of true qi in the dantian has deepened by a point.
Especially when he sucked the white qi in the human king jade into the dantian moment.
That's especially the feeling.
With some relief, he got up, took his sword, and went out.
The plan of the day is in the morning, and he does not waste it.
The next moment, holding the long sword, practiced.
The first sword came out, and his face suddenly changed.
Because the power of the sword today has changed dramatically from yesterday.
Undoubtedly, it is the effect of chalcedony dew.
Chalcedony dew, wash the meridians and cleanse the veins, and after the meridians are strong, the true qi will naturally run more smoothly.
So a sword out, an instant into a formula.
At the same time, the true qi was transmitted rapidly, and the power naturally increased greatly.
Liu Xu was immediately overjoyed.
His original intention was to endure and survive in a low-key manner. Until one day he held a sword and had the strength to look down on his enemies.
But if you are so forbearing, you will miss too many opportunities.
For example, this chalcedony dew.
So it's better to fight and control your own destiny.
The next moment, he drew his sword again and continued to practice.
Because he knows that every inch of power is not obtained for nothing.
If he wants to stand in front of everyone one day, he must put in enough effort.
