Not many people know about the wonderful use of the pangolin for a hundred years, this thing is very rare, and there are few legends about it in the market. It is rare to know how to use it, and as for the people who have seen it, it is simply very small.
At this time, among the four people in the back mountain, only Gu Daming has seen a century-old pangolin, and it is indeed Chu Cai who knows the magic of it. There is a record in "The Thirteen Chapters of Hua Tuo Jishi": "The hundred-year-old pangolin is impatient, long jaw, gray and white in front of the jaw, the head is drilled, the linjia is turquoise, the four legs are hard, the running is extremely fast, it can penetrate the hole, flow water, drill the mountain, the linjia is hard, but the lower abdomen is extremely soft, it likes yin and is afraid of heat, and it enhances the boutique of the inner yuan." ”
This is Hua Tuo's record of the century-old pangolin. Different from the "Compendium of Materia Medica", in the "Thirteen Chapters of Hua Tuo Jishi", there are also records of medicinal materials. However, there is no record of ordinary medicinal materials, and only rare elixirs such as century-old pangolins are collected.
When Hua Zishu was studying, he was very pretentious to several disciples, and often talked about "Hua Tuo Jishi Thirteen Chapters" to study in public, showing Bao Buying's love for him. It is because the disciples know a little about the records.
The four of them walked along the mountain road, the ancient daimyo had been collecting medicine for many years, and knew the habits of the century-old pangolin, so he took a group of four people to walk in low-lying and damp places.
Fang Zun followed the ancient daimyo, concentrating on observing the surrounding situation, without distractions, looking at the ups and downs of the mountains, there are indeed some strange trees and flowers on the back mountain, but now the target is the pangolin, Fang Zun is just looking at the flowers, just look at it, and have no intention of paying attention to these.
On the contrary, the ancient daimyo did his best, and when he encountered strange flowers and trees, he told Fang Zun what kind of herbs these were, what were their wonderful uses, how to pick them, and so on. It's just that the ancient daimyo didn't know anything about the art of alchemy, so he really couldn't tell why.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinyue is a disciple of Zeng Zidan, and her alchemy skills are quite exquisite, listening to the ancient daimyo's talk about the name, habits, and picking methods of the herbs, she nodded secretly, and also said some alchemy methods of pills at will. Chu Cai saw that what the ancient daimyo said was the Tao, and he also intended to show off, and the herbal medicine was symptomatic and the prescription of the pill could also be said to be in.
If it were on weekdays, the three disciples under this group of immortal three disciples would definitely not have a chance to get together. Even when we get together, we don't have the opportunity to talk about what we have learned all our lives. The stones of other mountains can attack jade, and the three of them listened to each other's explanations, and also solved a lot of doubts in their hearts.
Fang Zun didn't say a word, listening to the narration of a few people, he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. After listening to so many explanations of herbs, Chu Cai also brought a few prescriptions, which was simply an unexpected gain.
The four of them walked all the way, and when they were hungry, they would have some dry food, and when they were thirsty, they would drink some spring water, and they were also at ease.
It's just that Jiang Xinyue has been nervous, and she has retreated several times to go back, but Chu Cai wants to pluck the goose and get some medicinal materials for the hundred-year-old pangolin by the way, but he has always refused to leave.
Seeing that Jiang Xinyue's application was embarrassing, Gu Daming asked: "Senior sister, are you going back?" If there is something in the door and Senior Sister is in a hurry to go back, I will show you the way out of the mountain. ”
Gu Daimyo said and jumped on the trunk of the tree, pointed to a raised mountain stone and said, "Senior sister, have you seen that convex stone? If you want to go back, you can go here, see the convex stone, and then go north, if you go faster, you may be able to go out of the mountain tomorrow." ”
Jiang Xinyue is really in a dilemma at the moment, she has something unspeakable, she doesn't want to enter the mountain, but she can only move forward because of Chu Cai's persecution. Now I want to go back, but it is too far, and the lone woman walking in the back mountain is indeed a little afraid.
Chu Cai looked at Jiang Xinyue, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had the meaning of coming and going freely with you, and I would not move. Jiang Xinyue hesitated again and again, so she had to move forward with her heart down.
At night, the cold wind rose everywhere, Jiang Xinyue was so cold that her whole body shivered, and the four of them followed the moonlight, found a high ground, and each found a tree to sleep.
When he got up early the next day, the ancient daimyo had already found some mountain fruits to satisfy everyone's hunger. Chu Cai grabbed the fruit and ate it, but Jiang Xinyue was more meticulous and took the fruit to the spring water and washed it. He also specially told Chu Cai not to eat these mountain fruits indiscriminately.
After eating the fruit, the ancient daimyo looked at the mountain and consulted with everyone. It is said that it is a discussion, but in fact, it is an order to arrange, although Chu Cai is older and has an early entry, but in the collection of medicine, the monk is really confused, Jiang Xinyue has long been unconcerned, just acting according to the arrangement of the ancient daimyo.
The ancient daimyo said: "Today there are mostly sunny days in the mountains, pangolins seem to be hiding in caves, now we should save our strength, find a cave nearby and hang for a few days, I look at the sky, the clouds are coming, there will be rain today." ”
Such days were very ordinary for the ancient daimyo. Sometimes when I go into the mountains to collect medicine, I encounter heavy snow, and the snow covers the ground, and I can only stay in the cave for a few days, and when the snow melts, I can see the herbs that appear on the ground. Sometimes I chased the spirit beast as a medicine guide, but I had to wait for the snow before I could enter the mountain, and I watched the footprints of the spirit beast on the snow in the mountain, and I could capture the spirit beast according to the map.
The four of them had no choice but to act according to the arrangement of the ancient daimyo, and Chu Cai secretly inquired and said, "Are you sure?"
It is clear from the "Thirteen Chapters of Hua Tuo Jishi" that the hundred-year-old pangolin has the effect of enhancing true qi, and it is because Chu Cai has been waiting for the opportunity.
The four of them searched on the left and found a mountainside with three adjacent caves. Fang Zun went around to pick some mountain fruits and distributed them to the four of them. At present, the ancient daimyo and Fang Zun live in a cave together, and Chu Cai and Jiang Xinyue each live in a separate room.
It was still early in the morning, and the four of them gathered in the cave of Fang Zun and the ancient daimyo to discuss a strategy to find the pangolin. In the afternoon, the sun set, and it gradually became cold in the mountains. Fang Zun lit fires in the three caves to drive away the cold in the caves.
Gu Daimyo judged: "If it is fast, it will be tomorrow, and if it is late, there will be a rainy day, and after the rain, the pangolin will come out to move." When the time comes, just go to the col and wait for the rabbit. ”
"Is there really that pangolin in this mountain? And it's a hundred-year-old pangolin?" Jiang Xinyue settled down at this time, concerned about whether the pangolin really had such a thing.
Gu Daimyo recalled: "About 30 years ago, Master and I went into the mountains to look for herbs, and we accidentally met a century-old pangolin near Zuo, and it was the first time I encountered that thing. Master then told me about its habits, shapes, and so on. ”
It was dark between the four of them talking, Jiang Xinyue looked at the dark sky outside the cave, and involuntarily leaned into Chu Cai's arms. But Chu Cai looked like a decent man and a gentleman, although Jiang Xinyue was very scared, but at this time, Fang Zun and Gu Daming were present, and he also intended to dissociate himself from Jiang Xinyue.
Fang Zun saw it in his eyes and felt that Jiang Xinyue was really not worth it. Although Chu Cai is really a person who is as good as his name and a talent, Jiang Xinyue is also white-skinned and beautiful, and he has Xuanyin alchemy, but he has to commit himself to Chu Cai? Fang Zun smiled secretly in his heart, if this Jiang Xinyue is younger, it is still quite okay to be a woman for me.
For some reason, Fang Zun's heart swept through this thought that he felt bad, but he remembered Shen Bao'er in his heart. Fang Zun didn't know why Shen Bao'er came out of his heart when he was thinking of doing something with Jiang Xinyue that the men and women in the Qinglou did.
Fang Zun always felt weird, and he took a few breaths at the moment, and his mind was no longer messing around.
At midnight, they went back to their caves to sleep. Early on the second day, Fang Zun found that Chu Cai came out of Jiang Xinyue's cave, and he didn't know if the two were together last night and what they did. Looking at Jiang Xinyue again, she also came out of the cave, pretending not to know, but her hair was messy, her steps were weak, and her body was unstable, so she must have been ravaged by that Chu Cai.
Standing on the top of the hill and looking at the direction of the wind, the old daimyo asserted that it was going to rain today. Fang Zun went to pick some fruit and came back and distributed it to everyone.
The four of them sat in the cave and talked about Mount Meru.
Gu Daming said: "The fifty-year Xianxia Conference is getting closer and closer, and the ancestor ordered us to find the pangolin this time, presumably to enhance the true qi, to be able to shock the Quartet at the Xianxia Conference, and give me Mount Meru a name again!"
Fang Zun thought to himself, probably thinking so. On the mountain of nothingness, the void has been in retreat for several years, and the golden python came out, but he accidentally let Lao Tzu drink blood and eat gall. Presumably, that nothingness is also this abacus, and he made these elixirs to improve his true qi, so as to win the championship in one fell swoop at the Xianxia Conference.
"Who do you say will stand out in the ring inside the door of Mount Meru?" Jiang Xinyue asked shyly with her head down, looking up at Chu Cai from time to time.
Gu Daimyo, however, didn't know the mystery, and said bluntly: "That must be Meng Jinglei, the eldest disciple of Zhu Zi's master! This person's True Qi cultivation is the strongest among my generation of disciples. and Su Xiaotian, a disciple of Nie Protector's disciple, is also good. These two are the best among the young disciples of my Mount Meru in recent decades, and they must be able to stand out in the next ring in the door. ”
Chu Cai saw that Gu Daming didn't mention himself, his face was extremely ugly, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so he just looked at the fire coldly in a daze.
Jiang Xinyue was not happy to see Chu Cai, so she said, "I think Senior Brother Chu under Uncle Zeng is also a popular candidate." ”
Listening to Jiang Xinyue's praise of Chu Cai, Gu Daming knew that he had lost his words just now, and smiled awkwardly and echoed a few words.
The scene suddenly fell into embarrassment, what Gu Daming said was insincere, Fang Zun didn't take it, Chu Cai's face became more and more ugly, but Jiang Xinyue kept looking at Chu Cai, with affection in her veins.
At this moment, I heard the sound of talking outside.
Fang Zun didn't think it was strange, but this ancient name was particularly vigilant, and said, "Where is the voice of people coming from this back mountain?
