Chapter Eighty-Eight: Decoction
After the school shooting, there have been some changes in law and order throughout Jiang City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The most obvious is the patrol police who appear on the streets from time to time.
It is said that the city's leadership has also undergone considerable changes.
But none of these things have anything to do with Lin You.
As always, he is a good student, going to and from school on time every day, talking and laughing with his classmates, and tutoring Guan Keyu......
Life went by as usual, but Lin You's temperament became more and more sharp, so he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only slowly polish his temperament through his mood.
It is because the sword qi in the body is strong.
At noon that day, Lin You walked into the kitchen, closed the valve of the gas stove, and then opened the lid of the clay pot that had been boiling for several hours.
As soon as the lid was lifted, a strong medicinal fragrance diffused from inside, filling the entire room in an instant.
Lin You's nose moved slightly, and his eyes lit up suddenly.
No longer waiting, he directly poured the medicinal soup boiled in the clay pot into the prepared porcelain bowl.
Then, Lin You walked out of the kitchen with the two-wrist decoction and walked into the bedroom.
"Xiao Shinobi, it's time to take medicine!"
"You're going to have to take your medicine!"
Xiao Ren, who was lying on the bed, heard Lin You's voice and said to him angrily.
Lin You smiled, didn't reply, put a porcelain bowl on the table, and then walked to the desk and sat down.
He looked at the pre-Qin classics on the table and drank the soup in the bowl one by one.
This decoction is a method that Lin You found out according to the classics in the Taoist collection.
He chose a few prescriptions that only had a beneficial effect, and then, according to modern scientific pharmacology, eliminated the materials with medicinal properties, and finally tested them with kittens and puppies many times.
Only then did it boil it out and drink it yourself.
A mouthful of hot golden decoction entered his abdomen, and Lin You suddenly felt a hot breath rising in his lower abdomen.
His complexion turned slightly red, and after a few breaths, he returned to the color of white jade.
At the same time, the sword qi in Lin You's body was stimulated by the decoction and became active, circulating in his body non-stop, devouring the medicinal qi that was slowly transformed in his abdomen.
The ingredients of this decoction are wolfberry, deer antler, tiger bone, cinnamon, and ganoderma lucidum...... It can be said that there are several kinds of tonic medicinal materials on the market.
Of course, the most important thing in this is a wild ginseng.
Lin You didn't go back empty-handed when he went to the Cao family's manor. After the aftermath of the incident had almost subsided, Lin You took the time to go again and found some of the things he had hidden.
The ginseng in this decoction is not artificially sown on the market, but dug up from the deep mountains and old forests, and the year is not small, more than 60 years.
It has five shapes, and it is extremely similar to the human body, and it is not a mortal thing at first glance.
Lin You got this kind of treasure medicine, so he naturally smiled unceremoniously.
Recently, under the nourishment of the decoction, his speed of refining qi has increased greatly, and the sword qi in his body has become thicker and stronger.
Lin You's swordsmanship is also completely different from the past.
Before, in one breath, he could only stab three swords, this is still when he is in good shape, if he is in a low state, it is estimated that he will be able to stab two swords.
And now, he can stab five swords in one breath, and the realm is stable.
This is already qualitatively different from before, when it comes to fighting, it is the difference between life and death!
If Lin You is allowed to fight with his previous self, within five breaths, he can kill his former self under the long sword.
The three previous selves besieged him, and maybe it could be equal.
A bowl of soup and medicine entered his abdomen, and Lin You suddenly felt that his whole body was hot, and his blood and qi were more than active.
He closed the book, closed his eyes, and took a long breath, not exhaling it immediately.
After five breaths, Lin You suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, like lightning.
A white gas spit out from Lin You's mouth, shaped like a long sword, and slammed into the air outside the window.
The white qi pierced the window and traveled a full two meters before slowly dissipating into the air.
If there were mortals here, they would be amazed. Even a martial artist would be horrified when he saw this white qi. Ordinary martial artists, how can they have this ability.
Lin You's strength in his heart is already different from that of mortals. No matter how much a mortal exercises and how developed his muscles are, he can't exercise his internal organs, let alone condense the gas into a "sword shape" and spit it out.
Ancient sword cultivation has reached a high level, and between exhalations, you can kill.
And the power is great, the power of the golden stone!
Lin You froze the sword qi in his body for a moment, completely absorbed the essence of the decoction, and then packed up his mind and withdrew from this state of cultivation.
He took the porcelain bowl on the table, walked over to Shinobi, and saw an empty porcelain bowl lying there, knowing that she had also finished drinking.
With a chuckle, Lin You helped her clean up the porcelain bowl, and then walked to the kitchen.
These days, it seems that because of Lin You's medicine, Xiao Ren has been staying with him and hasn't even returned home.
Lin You inadvertently asked her why, but she had to get the roll of her eyes, so she did it again.
After packing up his things, Lin You walked to the desk again and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Now that Lingao has been on vacation, after all, there are more than ten days left before the Spring Festival, even if it is the third year of high school, students must be given a little time to rest.
The outside of the window was cold, the light was unknown and not dark, it should be because of the temperature, so everyone stayed inside the house and didn't want to go out.
Lin You felt the cool air, and then closed the window.
"Shinobi, do you want to go to a banquet with me in the afternoon?"
"No! No time. ”
Hearing Xiao Ren's answer, the corners of Lin You's mouth twitched.
Turning his head, he saw Xiao Ren lying on the pillow, with one foot crossed, happily playing with his mobile phone.
"Oh. I may come back late in the evening, so I'll take care of dinner by myself. ”
Lin You said to her casually.
"Huh?" Xiao Ren moved at this moment, she threw her phone on the bed, and then looked at Lin You.
But Lin You ignored her, sat directly on the chair, and read the book by himself.
There is great wisdom in the book, which Lin You can realize the more he practices. So he still has a lot of hands on it.
Xiao Ren found that Lin You ignored her, jumped from the bed to the ground, walked barefoot, and walked to Lin You's side.
"Ahem, is there anything delicious at the banquet?"
Xiao Ren sat directly on the desk, blinked his eyes, and asked Lin You.
Lin You withdrew his gaze from the book and glanced at her.
He replied, "Yes." ”
"Then go!"
Xiao Ren shook his calf and said excitedly.
Lin You listened to her words and pinched his temples speechlessly.
......
It was close to two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin You casually put on a piece of clothing, and then went out with Xiao Ren.
The banquet is not an ordinary white wedding event, but a gift for the daughter of the Zheng family.
It was when Lin You met Zheng Tao and them in Meiyuan Tower before, he heard Zheng Guoan talk about it.
Lu Li, that is, the Chinese girl's coming-of-age ceremony, is a kind of ancient Jia ceremony. Since the Zhou Dynasty, it was stipulated that aristocratic women should perform the ritual before marrying after the engagement (marriage). It is generally held at the age of fifteen, and if one has not been allowed to marry, it is also performed until twenty.
There is a big difference between the current ritual and the ancient one.
Lin You's research on this is not deep, and the specific differences are not clear. But according to Zheng Tao's situation, the significance of celebrating adulthood should be greater, and it has nothing to do with whether or not they are engaged.
Moreover, the age of majority under the current law of the empire is not fifteen years old, but eighteen years for both men and women. It's just that people with a little background don't care much about it.
It can also be seen that the Zheng family is extraordinary.
Lin You thought in his heart, "I don't know, how does the Zheng family compare to the Cao family?"
I guess he can see a thing or two later, and he doesn't have to think about it.
With Xiao Ren, Lin You walked out of his residence, went to the side of the road at the school, and waited for the car.
The people on the road are bleak, which should be because of the cold weather.
It snowed a few days ago, and this morning there seems to be snow again, and although there is no wind on the road, the temperature is close to freezing.
Lin You took Xiao Ren's hand and waited indifferently on the side of the road, looking pleasant.
Several people who passed by him were also in a hurry, their heads shrunk in their collars and scarves, far less indifferent than him.
I don't know if it's because of the cold weather, or because the school is on vacation, which leads to the bad business of nearby taxis, Lin You waited for more than half an hour, and didn't wait for a taxi.
Just as he sighed and prepared to take a detour to catch the bus.
A silver sedan suddenly drove in the distance, the shape of the car looked quite chic, and the estimated price was not low.
But so far, Lin You only knows what the model of the police car is, and he doesn't know what brand this car is.
Without waiting for Lin You to take a step, the car stopped in front of Lin You.
The reflective windows were then rolled down, revealing a beautiful face.
"Lin You!"
When Lin You heard this, he looked over......
