Chapter 167: Two Kinds of Artemisia
In the end, Zhang Xuanqing and Sun Simiao still couldn't shirk everyone's enthusiasm, and together with Liu Shenwei and those Langzhong, they were invited to Tianxiang Building by the people.
There were a lot of people in the group, and when they arrived at Tianxiang Building, they directly occupied five tables.
Because it was Sun Simiao's "reception banquet" for Zhang Xuanqing, everyone thought that the two would definitely say goodbye, so they didn't share the table with them.
Well, plus Liu Shenwei.
Except for the three of them, those few people sat at a table, and the rest of the people were in company of each other, and there was nothing to shy away from.
At the beginning, everyone toasted Sun Simiao, Zhang Xuanqing, and Liu Shenwei one after another. After that, he deliberately did not disturb the three of them, so that they had time to catch up.
To be honest, this kind of hospitality is really special, Zhang Xuanqing met it for the first time. teased Sun Simiao a few times, and then asked about their itinerary after the last goodbye.
I only heard Sun Simiao say: "After Brother Dao left early in Taihong County last time, I stayed with Shenwei for another two months, cured all the patients with that strange disease, and left there. After that, it was nothing more than to continue to travel the world, practice medicine everywhere, and stop and go to get here. But Brother Daoist, have you investigated the identity of that Taoist priest?"
Not only Zhang Xuanqing was curious about the identity of the Taoist priest, but Sun Simiao also wanted to know who the Taoist priest was and whether it had anything to do with the strange illness at the beginning.
Zhang Xuanqing sighed and said, "Brother Dao, don't mention it, Poor Dao chased that guy south for a few months, but I didn't get any real news along the way." Sometimes I suspect that the person who gave me the news was telling me false news. But then again, if the Taoist priest is okay, it won't be so mysterious and so hidden, so the poor Taoist thinks that the Taoist priest is inseparable from the strange disease. ”
"I see...... By the way, when Brother Dao first went out of the city, he could see a monk? and ...... Didn't Li Yuanba catch up with Brother Dao?" Sun Simiao asked again.
As soon as he said this, Liu Shenwei couldn't help but speak: "Uncle Shi, you don't know, then Li Yuanba is evil." ”
"Evil nature, what kind of evil nature method?" Zhang Xuanqing was curious, and then replied to Sun Simiao: "The monk did meet one, what is the name of the monk did not ask, did he really go to Renshoutang to find me? Hehe, or did I show him the way." ”
"No wonder it's ......," Sun Simiao's mouth twitched. Thinking of the performance of the young monk that day, Liu Shenwei's eyelids jumped.
This time, Zhang Xuanqing asked: "What is the matter with Li Yuanba you are talking about? He also went to look for me?"
Liu Shenwei was just about to say this, and nodded hurriedly: "Uncle Shi, didn't you see it, the day you left, Li Yuanba came to look for us." I have to follow Master and protect Master. Master doesn't need it, he said to protect you...... These are nothing, but Uncle Shi, do you know that Li Yuanba's brain was damaged by lightning......"
"Broken by lightning?" Zhang Xuanqing was stunned, and listened to Liu Shenwei's explanations before and after, and finally understood what was going on.
can understand and understand, let him accept it, it is still a little difficult for a while.
It's nothing to be struck by lightning, there have been few people who have been struck by lightning throughout the ages; it's nothing if you don't die after being struck by lightning, it's nothing more than good luck, in modern society, he hasn't heard of being struck by lightning and can still get up and walk; it's nothing to get the "baby" with two giant hammers, it's just a chance, doesn't Sun Simiao still get a tiger support?
But these are really nothing when taken out individually, but when they are connected together, it is a little unacceptable!
First Li Yuanba was struck by lightning, and then he also got two giant hammers as weapons, and the most important thing was that he was stupid by lightning...... Why is this so similar to the legendary Li Yuanba?
Isn't the legendary Li Yuanba just missing a root in his head and using a pair of hammers in his hands, and was killed by lightning......? Although it is reversed here, such a coincidence has to be surprising.
Or rather...... In fact, the Li Yuanba they know is the real Li Yuanba, and the legendary Li Yuanba is the descendant who put the story of Li Yuanba on Li Xuanba?
Li Yuanba and Li Xuanba were deliberately "blended" by later generations in a sense?
I couldn't figure it out, Zhang Xuanqing shook his swollen head, and temporarily pulled down this doubt and buried it in his heart.
At this time, Liu Shenwei asked him again: "Uncle Shi, you haven't said it yet, didn't Li Yuanba find you?" He left in a hurry that day, so it stands to reason that he should be able to catch up with you." ”
Zhang Xuanqing shook his head and replied, "Anyway, I didn't see him......"
The three of them talked while eating, and the topic slowly pulled from a few years ago to the last few days, and inevitably talked about the illness in the city.
"When did Brother Dao and Shenwei come to Qingyuan County? Is there a cure for malaria?" Zhang Xuanqing said and added a glass of wine to the two of them, and filled it himself.
Sun Simiao smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said nothing, picked up the wine glass and drank it.
Liu Shenwei replied on the side: "Master and I came here eight or nine days ago, what about malaria, ......" shook his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "By the way, Uncle Shi, are you here for malaria?"
This reminded Sun Simiao, and his spirit shook and said, "I almost forgot, what is the best way for Brother Dao to come here?"
Zhang Xuanqing pointed to his feet, it was the two bundles of artemisia grass, which he brought to the restaurant from the outside.
"This ......" Sun Simiao frowned slightly, and Liu Shenwei said for him: "Uncle, this Artemisia annua doesn't work, I tried it with Master." In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" recorded: Artemisia annua is a hand, soaked in two liters of water, wrenched in juice, and taken to treat malaria. But not only Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei tried, but before the two of them came, Langzhong in this county also tried, but it had no effect at all.
Zhang Xuanqing smiled unabated, pulled the plate and bowl in front of him aside, lifted the two bundles of artemisia grass, put them on the table, pointed to the two bundles and said, "Look, which of these two bundles is Artemisia annua?"
Which bundle is Artemisia annua? Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei glanced at each other, and they all shook their heads in confusion. Liu Shenwei couldn't help but ask: "What did Uncle Shi say, aren't these two bundles of Artemisia annua, it's just that one is darker and the other is lighter, is there anything different?"
"That's right, it's really different!" Zhang Xuanqing nodded and smiled: "Artemisia annua, also known as Artemisia annua, "Shennong's Materia Medica" describes it: the taste is bitter and cold, the main scabies scratch, itching, malignant wounds, killing lice, leaving heat between the bone joints, and the eyes are clear. One Artemisia annua, one Fang Ruan, Shengchuan Ze. After that, Ge Hong recorded in the "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription": A grip of Artemisia annua, two liters of water, and the juice can be used to cure cold and heat. However, the Artemisia annua mentioned by Ge Hong is not the Artemisia annua in Shennong's Materia Medica. ”
"Ah, what is that?" Liu Shenwei was stunned, and Sun Simiao couldn't help but become focused, listening attentively.
Zhang Xuanqing pointed to the two bundles of grass in front of him and said with a smile: "You see, although the appearance and shape of my two bundles of artemisia grass are generally similar, if you smell the smell of the two, you will find that one is sweet and the other is spicy." The sweet fragrance is what we often call Artemisia annua, and it is also the Artemisia annua in the Shennong Materia Medica, which can be eaten with coriander, applied to gold sores, stopped bleeding, raw meat, and tooth pain, so the poor road calls it 'Artemisia annua'; ”
Artemisia annua, Artemisia annua, Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei glanced at each other blankly, and subconsciously took one of the two bundles of grass and put it under their noses to sniff lightly.
Well, it tastes different. (To be continued.) )
