Chapter 4 Medical Skills
Xiaoqing looked at Bai Suzhen in a daze, and asked cautiously: "Sister, am I considered to have received his life-saving grace?" This is what she cares about the most, she doesn't want to get close to Xu Xiantao.
Bai Suzhen smiled: "Of course, it is, but you are still shallow in Taoism now, and if you want to repay your kindness, you are not in a hurry to be in this life." "I said in my heart: If he doesn't practice with his heart, I'm afraid that he will become someone else after a hundred years.
Xiaoqing is only 500 years old, and he is naturally a great age when he rests on people. But in the case of youkai, it's just the beginning. After all, just by opening the spiritual intelligence, it takes a lot of time to refine the demon body. What Bai Suzhen is worried about is that if Xiaoqing is too deeply involved in the world at this time, it is easy to be unable to extricate herself. Even don't you need Xu Xian to remind you?
Xiaoqing sighed and said, "That's good!"
Bai Suzhen asked again: "Didn't you just say one thing, what about the other?"
Xiaoqing said "ah" very reluctantly, but looking at her sister's expression, she finally told her about practicing the five ghosts to carry ** to steal the treasury silver, and then she was captured by Xu Xian. Pulling Bai Suzhen's sleeve, she said coquettishly: "Sister, do you say that Xu Xian is very bad!"
Bai Suzhen said: "Qing'er, you are really a child's temper. If someone else takes you and doesn't skin you and cramps, it's weird, people are willing to let you go, it's already a favor to you, how can you still complain about others?"
I thought in my heart: I didn't expect Qing'er to have such a deep bond with him, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get rid of! It's just that what is the shallow bond between myself and him? If it is really a calamity, it can only be faced with anger! What can be escaped is not called a calamity. And the opportunity is pulled, even if you can escape once, you can't escape the second time.
Xiaoqing said dissatisfied: "I'm just angry!" Although in fact, Bai Suzhen also took Xiaoqing first, and then spared her. They can become sisters, but Bai Suzhen is the same kind as her, and she is all oppressed by Taoism, Xiaoqing feels close. It is also Bai Suzhen's temperament that has the charm of making people close and obedient.
Bai Suzhen felt that she knew more about Xu Xian. The courage and determination of the opportunity, the prudence and resourcefulness of Pingshuo, such a man is indeed rare in the world. It was also a blessing to be friends with him. It's just that she still can't figure out how to repay the favor.
I couldn't help but think of what Xu Xian said to himself, "It's always easy to talk to each other, how do you think you can repay your kindness, I'll try my best to cooperate with you!" Maybe you should discuss with him about repaying your kindness, but it always feels strange to discuss how to repay your kindness with your benefactor.
Xiaoqing had a seizure, "Oh, sister, I understand." Since you came back, Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi's is not finished. Even the words are biased towards him, is it already in his mind and plans to marry him? ”
Bai Suzhen's face turned red at first, and then she smiled faintly: "Gongzi Xu is indeed a rare gentleman in the world, and he doesn't look down on us as an outlier. It's a pity that I don't have the ambition to practice, otherwise it would be impossible to really form a Taoist couple with him! But it's good to be able to make friends now, but marriage is not something I dare to talk about. ”
Otherwise, maybe it will really sink into the world. She didn't say that.
Xu Xian certainly has a mortal heart, but that vulgar heart is firm and open, more like a Dao heart than her Dao heart, maybe this is also a kind of Dao heart!
Xiaoqing saw that she said calmly, but she couldn't make fun of her. just surprised: "Sister, you, you told him that we are snakes?" She didn't expect her sister to dare to tell the truth, even if Xu Xian didn't say it, there would definitely be a mustard in her heart.
Bai Suzhen smiled: "Yes, and I also said the cause and effect between us." Now I don't have to lie to him!"
Xiaoqing was surprised: "He's not afraid?"
Bai Suzhen scratched Xiaoqing's nose lightly, and quipped: "He is not even afraid of my Qing'er, he dares to teach a lesson, what are you afraid of me doing?"
Xiaoqing didn't follow: "Sister!" stomped his feet but couldn't help it, he probably couldn't get out of this breath. He asked again: "Sister, if you don't get married, then how are you going to repay the favor?"
Bai Suzhen was also distressed, "I don't know, you can also help me come up with ideas!"
Xiaoqing's eyes rolled and said, "Otherwise, you will wait for the next life to repay the favor!"
Bai Suzhen said: "That's another few decades! Moreover, not only for the little shepherd boy who once saved me, I also want to repay this Xu Gongzi." If he re-enters reincarnation, he will not be him in the next life. ”
Xiaoqing spread his hands and said: "It would be good if he was a beggar, or the kind that was dying of hunger, and we would repay him for some silver." But he doesn't seem to lack anything now. If people don't ask for it, how can you give it?"
Bai Suzhen smiled: "Then tomorrow you will help me understand everything about him, maybe I can find out what this Xu Gongzi wants!" And she also planned to ask face to face, what exactly does Xu Xian want?
Xiaoqing could only say: "Okay then! I don't believe that there are people in the world who have no desires and no desires." Hurry up and settle the grievances, let's go back to Qingfeng Cave to practice, I'm really bored in this world! Sister, I'll go and rest first. She yawned and turned to leave.
Bai Suzhen fixed her body with a word. "Qing'er, maybe Xu Gongzi has already seen through that you are the one who stole the treasury silver that night, but he cares about your face and doesn't want to say more!"
Xiaoqing's body suddenly froze there.
Bai Suzhen shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm just guessing, but my sister advises you to confess quickly, so as not to be suspicious all day long!"
The night was deep, but Xu Xian's room was shining.
The small jade plaque shone with blue light in his hand, and then slowly floated and began to rotate, and the carved cloud pattern on it also seemed to flow, and when he rotated, he saw that the number Wu Wanqian Bai Lu Shier was written on one side, that is, 58,462 points of merit. The ability to quantify the invisible merit into tangible numbers shows the subtlety of the mana of the maker of this ritual weapon.
Since Xu Xian forcibly performed the Yang God out of his body and spent 100,000 merits, although he often consumed merits to achieve some impossible things. But the number of merits is increasing all the time, and if a person is unselfish, there is merit everywhere. In particular, the idea of compiling the "Compendium of Materia Medica" has added nearly 10,000 merits. If you are an ordinary person, it is rare to have so many merits in your lifetime.
Now he is about to do one more thing with this merit card.
Xu Xian said silently: Find all the memories related to the "Compendium of Materia Medica". On the turquoise jade, the divine light rises. The merit is rapidly consumed, and the memories that have long been precipitated in the depths of the heart are revived.
Although at the time, it was just a random look, and some even swept it away. Even if someone immediately asked him what was in the book, he probably wouldn't have been able to answer. But it was this sweep that had actually become part of his memory.
Everyone's eyes are like a video camera, which can record everything he sees at that time, even if he is in a daze. Due to the brain's self-maintenance mechanism, all useless information will be precipitated. That's why there is such a thing as forgetting. The memories that come from being in a daze are just forgotten at the time, not non-existent.
So, in a sense, everyone is a genius.
And now, when Xu Xian was a child, he looked through the scene of "Compendium of Materia Medica", and gradually became vivid, and every word and painting he saw at that time slowly became clear.
I don't know if it's because of the experience of using it many times, or because of Xu Xian's current progress in cultivation and the process of finding his memory, his head doesn't hurt badly, but it's just a little swollen.
Finally, the light on the jade plate gradually converged and dimmed, and fell back into Xu Xian's hands. Xu Xian already felt that there were countless memories in his mind. Xu Xian was not in a hurry to copy them all, because as long as he used the memories retrieved by merit, he would not forget them for a long time.
Although this is a good thing, it is actually a kind of sequelae. After all, during this period of time, there will be countless names of medicinal herbs flying around in his head. Although it does not affect normal thinking, it is also a nuisance.
Xu Xian also thought about using the merit card to retrieve the forgotten memories when he went out of the body, but guessed that this may not be the self-protection mechanism of the divine soul, and he was afraid that there would be any sequelae if he forcibly retrieved it, so he didn't know what the sequelae were. When it comes to spiritual matters, we have to be cautious. Since you can remember it at the end, it's better to go with the flow!
Xu Xian looked at the merit card in his hand, and only consumed more than 400 merit points. But the "Compendium of Materia Medica" he recovered has a big flaw, that is, it is incomplete. After all, when he was a child, he didn't know that he was going to cross in the future. Even if you can remember it, it is impossible to turn the pages of so many books.
Although he knew that he could compile a rare medical book with these memories in his mind, Xu Xian had a regret in his heart. If we can completely reproduce this "Compendium of Materia Medica", will we be able to help more people? No, I don't know if it is reproduced, if it is added to modern medical knowledge. It will definitely surpass the original book and raise the medicine of this era to a height that future generations will not believe.
It's just that the effort spent in it is not a little bit, you must know that Li Shizhen spent a lifetime compiling this book. Although Xu Xian expected that with all his advantages, it would not take so long, but it was by no means a poem of a few crosses, and that kind of relaxed posture could be compared.
Although in this era, even if he really wrote down the entire "Compendium of Materia Medica", it may not be as good as the reputation he brought by copying those poems.
There are two paths in front of Xu Xian. One is to only transcribe the memories in your mind, which is naturally much easier. And it can be regarded as a contribution to the life of the Li people in this era, no one will say that he is not, but will praise him.
The second is to calm down and spend a lot of time and energy to compile a book of ancient and golden medical skills. Then the comfortable life will be shattered, which is not what he is most worried about.
What he was really worried about was that when the time came, he would have to go to the old path of Xu Xian - to study medicine. For this, he was not only worried, but even a little afraid. No one can say whether this is a coincidence or a trick of fate?
In the most natural way, lead people back to the original way!
