12. The old man in the palace of the medicine king appeared
Two days later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Bing and the three of them stopped and walked along the way, and finally got acquainted, talking and laughing, but they didn't realize that time had flown by. Ying Lan'er looked at the scenery on both sides of the road, swept away the previous haze, was in a good mood, and hummed as she walked:
August acacia flower letter yellow,
A branch of osmanthus is full of garden fragrance,
Nightfall money spits red stamen,
Lilac purple mango smoked clothes,
Don't wait for the autumn breeze to be cool, don't wait for the autumn breeze to be cool.
"Sure enough, I have arrived in Yizhou, and I have long heard that the flowers in Yizhou are not only varied, but also brightly colored, and sure enough, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just the countryside, and it already feels very different from other places. Li Bing listened to Yinglan'er singing the song of flowers, and his mood was also comfortable.
Ying Lan'er sneered when she heard this: "This is a layman, this place is far from Yizhou City, and the flowers bloom so well because it is about to reach Tiantai Mountain, and the Medicine King Hall is there." The Medicine King Hall is the leader in the green seedling lineage, and is the best at cultivating medicinal materials. The flowers here are probably also from their handwriting. It is said that the hundred gardens of the Yakuo Hall are full of flowers all year round, and are known as the wonders of the world. ”
"I see. Lan Woman is really knowledgeable. Under admiration admiration. Li Bing clenched his fists, causing Lan'er to laugh again and again.
"I didn't expect to come to Yizhou now. Since you have arrived, it is better to go up to Tiantai Mountain to have a look, and it will not be in vain!" Li Bing watched the flowers bloom all the way, listened to Yinglan'er's description, and also wanted to see the appearance of the Medicine King Palace.
An Qingfang also said that he wanted to go, but Ying Lan'er hesitated slightly, and said: "It's okay, Su Wen Medicine King Palace is hospitable, we go to pay a visit, and we won't stop us at the door." There was a delay of two hours on the road, but it didn't matter. ”
As soon as I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, I saw a large archway. This torii is different from the red and green in other places, there is no painting, only the color of the wood itself. However, the work is very fine, the plaque is carved with all kinds of flowers on the line, it looks antique; the door plaque in the middle is engraved with three small seal characters of "Medicine King Palace", the iron is drawn with silver hooks, vigorous and powerful.
On the right side of the plaque stands two inscriptions, one wood and one stone, and the wooden one on the left reads: "The people of Yizhou are grateful for the hanging pot of the medicine king palace to help the world, especially in the mountain gate meritorious memorial arch, and wish the medicine king palace to be evergreen." The following inscription is the eighth year of Shenlong (that is, Tang Zhongzong), and it has been more than 70 years since now.
The color of another stele is still fresh, and it reads: "Thanks to the grace of the medicine king's wonderful hand reconstruction, Liu Ji of Yizhou donated 8,000 silver to rebuild the mountain road." Thank you for the grace of the Medicine King Palace. "The payment was made in the tenth year of the Great Calendar (Tang Dynasty), that is, five years ago.
Ying Lan'er looked at the second stone tablet and exclaimed, "Eight thousand taels have built a mountain road! "Yinglaner has no concept of big money, she only knows that ordinary people's five yuan is enough to live for a year. In her impression, the income of such a big faction as the non-faction is only more than 3,000 taels a year.
Li Bing looked at the money and felt that it was indeed a bit much, so he took a few steps forward and looked at the trail. "This trail is really extraordinary, just look at this stone, you know that it has been carefully selected, the countertop is neat and clean, without a trace of impurities. Not only are the balustrades carved with patterns, but even the sides of the steps are carved with patterns, and it seems that each step is different, as if it is going to engrave all the plants in the world. ”
This step is finely made, even if it is the Daming Palace (Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace), there are few places to build so gorgeously. Li Bing was very curious, these steps had been made like this, and what was the scene of the mountain gate above, so he hurriedly shouted to Yinglan'er and the others: "Lan'er, Qingfang, don't look there, let's go up and take a look." ”
The mountain road is not long, but the scenery on both sides is really beautiful. All kinds of small flowers, Li Bing can't even name them.
As soon as they arrived at the mountain gate, a towering tree more than five feet tall suddenly appeared in front of the three people. "Good fellows. It's rare for a tree to grow so tall, let alone a ginkgo. ”
Under the ginkgo tree, is the main entrance of the Yaowang Palace, compared with the delicacy of the previous mountain road, this main gate is elegant and delicate, the adobe wall is delicately brushed with a layer of blue edge and white background of plain paint, at the foot of a circle of walls, are light red begonias. There is no plaque on the main entrance, and the gate is open, as if this medicine king hall can allow ordinary people to enter and exit at will.
Opposite the door is a medicine king ancestral hall, in the center of the statue of the medicine king, the tribute on the table is no different except for melon and fruit steamed buns, just smell the incense sticks used for worship from a distance, not ordinary sandalwood, but exude a faint smell of medicine, smell always feel cool, refreshing.
An Qingfang looked at the incense in the ancestral hall of the Medicine King, and also wanted to go in to worship, so he turned back to the two and said, "Since you are here, do you want to say goodbye." This incense may be very spiritual, and it is good to bless you with good health. ”
Yinglan'er is a member of the Legalist family, so naturally she won't worship other gods, Li Bing doesn't care, she just sees that Yinglan'er doesn't go, so she has to stand in place to accompany her.
An Qingfang had just entered, and a girl in a green shirt in her twenties came out of the side hall and walked towards the two of them: "Are you two here to seek medical treatment? I am on duty today, please come with me." ”
Li Bing clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "The girl misunderstood, the next two are from Chang'an and are passing through here. The hundred gardens of the Medicine King Hall are magnificent, I don't know if we can see the style. ”
The girl smiled and said, "I see." On weekdays, most of the people who come to seek medical advice and medicine are few, but there are fewer people who come to enjoy the flowers elegantly. I was abrupt, please forgive me. After speaking, he was deeply moved. There is a saying: "It's a bit unfortunate that the two of you came, the head of the house is meeting guests in the pavilion in the hundred gardens." I need to report to the boss first, and the two of you can hang out as much as you like. ”
Li Bing nodded again and again, shouted "Xiao Anzi", and said to the girl with a smile: "Sister missed one, but it was actually three people." ”
The girl in the green shirt listened to Li Bing shouting her sister, but she was a little shy, turned around and went to the back garden, and ignored them.
The three of them walked around the main hall, but they felt that these flowers and plants didn't feel fresh after looking at them for a long time, so it was better to go to the gate of the hundred gardens and wait first, and by the way, they could also see what kind of famous the hundred gardens were.
Li Bing walked in the direction of the Qingshan girl just now, and after a while, he found the main entrance of the garden: it was also a fence with blue edges and white backgrounds, but the corners of the wall were planted with white stars. There was no door to the garden, as if to facilitate entry and exit.
Ying Lan'er stood at the door, looking at the flowers and plants in the garden, neatly listed. The pavilion was not far from the door, there were three people sitting inside, a man and a woman sitting together, with their backs to the garden gate, and a girl, who seemed to be only more than twenty years old, could this be the head of the Medicine King Palace?
The three people in the pavilion didn't talk loudly, but they could still be heard faintly standing at the garden gate.
"It's the first time I've seen this ice so tyrannical. If, as the girl said, it is really a thousand-year-old North Sea Ice Toad, there are a few medicinal herbs that can reduce its medicinal power. There is just one problem, the girl was forcibly improved her cultivation because of the medicinal power of the ice toad, and she reluctantly turned into a human form, if she used this medicine, I am afraid that ......"
When Li Bing heard this, he was puzzled: Turning into a human form? Could it be that this woman is not a human being?
But the man continued to ask, "Miss Xianghan, is there no other way?"
"The medicinal properties are one and difficult to separate. However, if you can find something that can greatly improve your cultivation and restrain the cold and icy qi, maybe it will be feasible. It's just that I can't think of anything that can match the medicinal properties of the thousand-year-old North Sea ice toad. ”
Ying Lan'er looked at this back and felt familiar, but when she heard the voice, she felt even more familiar, and an answer suddenly appeared in her mind: "Jiang Chongjing?"
Ying Lan'er shouted without thinking. Not only were the three people in the pavilion taken aback, but Li Bing was also caught off guard. I was about to apologize to the people in the pavilion for eavesdropping, but I saw the person in the pavilion turn around.
"Is that you?"
