Chapter 43: Lu Yu
Hearing Tao Weng's voice, Lingzhi stuck out his tongue, pulled up Tuchen and walked to the main hall: "Old Man Tao is back, he will definitely lecture in a while, you go to the palace and wait first, I will make him tea." With that, he pointed to the door of the main hall, turned around and walked into another room.
The three wooden steps in front of the temple are planted with various flowers and plants, and you can smell a special smell as soon as you walk through them. The smell was very strong, like a mixture of a hundred kinds of flowers and herbs, strange but very good.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of flowers blooming on both sides, Tuchen slowly walked into the hall.
Inside the main hall, there are more than ten rows of wooden cabinet-type shelves on both sides, and each shelf is placed with different herbs. As soon as I walked to the door, the floral fragrance gradually disappeared and was completely replaced by all kinds of strange herbal smells.
Tuchen came to a shelf, grabbed a handful of herbs and put them under his nose to smell them, and blurted out: "Angelica ......" After putting it down, he turned around and grabbed another one next to him: "Goji ......"
"That's right, boy, I really have some research on herbs. Tao Weng didn't know when he had appeared at the door of the hall, and said with a smile as he walked inside: "You came to Linggu, you won't come directly to my Baicaozhai......, right?"
Hearing this, Tuchen hurriedly put the herbs back in place and bowed down: "The master is above, and the apprentice will bow down." ”
Tao Weng smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you should know when you look at Ganoderma lucidum, there are not so many etiquettes in my Baicao Zhai." If a person wants to live a long and healthy life, he must first have smooth qi and blood, and the premise of smooth qi and blood is to relax the body and be happy. In the future, you don't have to bow down when you see me, just relax. As he spoke, he walked to one of the rows of wooden shelves and reached out and picked up a herb: "Come and see, what kind of medicine is this." ”
Tuchen got up and walked closer, leaning slightly: "The disciple has never been exposed to herbs before, and he doesn't know anything about herbs......
"It doesn't matter, you have to take a closer look to know if you recognize it or not. As he spoke, Tao Weng handed over the herb.
Tuchen stretched out his hands to take it, looked closely, and found that it was a semicircular object with a neat cut in the middle. The exterior is black and brown and dry like tree bark, and when viewed from the incision, the inside is a faint milky white solid, resembling jade. You don't need to put it under your nose to faintly smell the cool smell of mint, and it has a little weight in your hand.
This kind of thing grass is not like grass, trees are not like trees, jade is not like jade, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something that can be eaten, but since Tao Weng said that this is a medicinal material, it must have its own unique usage. Tuchen has never seen it, or even heard of it, symbolically put it under his nose and sniffed it and wanted to say that he didn't know it, but when the words came to his mouth, he said differently: "Lu Yu...... Cordyceps dew jade ......"
Tao Weng's eyes widened when he heard the first two words, and his face was full of surprise when he heard the last four words: "Tuchen, you are too modest, since the establishment of Linggu, there are a total of sixty-four disciples who have come to my Baicao Zhai, and you are the second person to know this flavor medicine! Not only that, but it is really not easy to smell the Cordyceps dew jade." The valley lord is right, you are indeed a malleable talent!"
Tuchen was also very surprised in his heart, he wanted to explain but didn't know how to express it, the cordyceps luyu in front of him and the previous angelica wolfberry he hadn't seen at all, but he didn't know why he could subconsciously call out his name when he put it under his nose and sniffed it. Even if this is explained, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
Sitting on the main seat of the main hall, Tao Weng stared at Tuchen for a moment, and the smile on his face became stronger: "Tell me about your life experience, why are you interested in medical skills, and how much do you know about a hundred kinds of herbs?"
"The disciple is alone, and he only learns medicine because he wants to save people, and he doesn't know anything about the herbs......"
As he was talking, Lingzhi walked in with a tray, on which were placed a purple sand teapot and two teacups, the fragrance of tea slowly rose along the spout, and a trace of the slightly bitter peach blossom aroma diffused in the air.
Gently placing the tray on the table, Lingzhi turned over the tea bowl and poured the tea, skillfully covered the tea leaves and handed it to Tao Weng: "Old man Tao, try it, this pot of 'atonement tea' today has cost me a lot of thought!"
Tao Weng smelled the fragrance on his face, his eyes smiled into a slit, and he couldn't wait to take a sip full of comfort: "Okay! Good girl! The tea fragrance is accompanied by the peach fragrance, and the mouth is bitter and sweet, and there is a little coolness, it seems that you will have to be punished a lot in the future to drink good tea, hahaha......"
After tasting a few more sips of fragrant tea, Tao Weng was already smiling red, and said with a satisfied face: "Tuchen has just entered the valley, and he is not very familiar with the terrain around Linggu. You follow Lingzhi for the time being, let her take you to recognize the herbs, and then go out of the valley to collect medicine after a while. After that, he looked at the Lingzhi beside him: "Now you are also a little master, be a good example, don't always be greedy for fun on weekdays, and show the "Hundred Grass Maps" given to you by the teacher for a while." ”
Lingzhi winked playfully: "I'm not playful, obviously you don't allow me to go out of the valley to collect medicine with other senior brothers...... Hmph, I'm ignoring you......" he picked up the tray and got up to leave.
Tao Weng laughed, raised the peach head crutch in his hand and picked it gently, the tray suddenly flew through the air and landed firmly in his palm, and the tea in the cup on the plate did not spill at all.
"Ignore me, you have to leave the tea for me, hahaha......" After that, he hung the peach-headed cane on his waist, held the tray in one hand and the teacup in the other, and left the hall with fragrant tea......
After Tao Weng left, Du Chen picked up the half of the Luyu from the wooden frame and asked, "What is this Cordyceps Luyu?"
Lingzhi sneered: "You said it yourself and asked, Cordyceps Luyu is Cordyceps Luyu." The dew falls on rare medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum Cordyceps, and condenses into stone with the aura of these herbs, which is Luyu. The Cordyceps dew jade you are holding in your hand is condensed from the dew dripping from Cordyceps, don't look at it is only the size of your palm, but it takes hundreds of years to form!"
Tuchen nodded: "Then what does this do?"
"There are many effects, and it can be said that it can cure all diseases. The dew fell from the herbs, the water dissipated and the essence condensed, and the old man Tao said that the bigger Luyu still has the effect of resurrecting the dead!" Saying that, Lingzhi put the Luyu in Tuchen's hand back into the wooden frame: "Let's go, I'll take you to get a hundred sketches, lest the old man Tao say that I am greedy for fun every day." ”
Towards the evening, the originally quiet Baicao Zhai gradually became lively, and from time to time, Linggu disciples carrying Yao Lou walked into the hall and arranged the picked herbs according to the categories and placed them on the wooden shelf. Tao Weng also stood in the hall all the time, and when the disciples were finished, he would always go and recheck them to make sure they were not mistaken.
Since then, Tuchen's daily life has gradually become fixed, waking up in the morning to wash up at the morning sun, and then identifying and reading medicine with Lingzhi and Lingzhi. Occasionally, he would talk with Momo about various incurable diseases and how to treat injuries caused by monsters.
After a long time, Tuchen learned from Lingzhi's mouth that Tao Weng actually likes peach trees very much, and this Baicaozhai was also in a peach forest a long time ago. Until the arrival of Lingzhi, the peach man doted on her, and when he heard that she liked maple trees, he waved his hand to turn the peach forest into a maple forest.
Lingzhi took good care of every maple tree in this maple forest, planted and cared for it in the way that Tao Weng taught, and it didn't take long for the beautiful scenery to appear.
Time flies, two months have passed in a blink of an eye, this day Tuchen sat in the maple forest as usual to study the various effects of the herbs, suddenly heard a rush of running, looked up, only to see Lingzhi walking in broken steps with a happy face to run to the front, his face was delicate red and sweaty, panting and laughing: "Old man Tao is not in the valley today, do you want to go out with me?"
"Go out to play?"
Before he could agree, Lingzhi had already taken his arm and walked up: "Of course, I went to the other halls, and besides, don't you want to see what other people are doing all day." ”
Speaking of other people, Tuchen really wanted to see how Mo Erha was doing now, and he didn't see any changes in the past two months. Thinking that Tao Weng did not explicitly prohibit him from leaving Baicaozhai, he also sighed and kept up with the pace of Lingzhi.
Leaving the maple forest, you can see some disciples training in the open space in the distance, among which a small one standing in the front row is particularly eye-catching, and you don't need to guess that it is a clever ghost. Compared with two months ago, everyone's cultivation has improved, their mood has also stabilized, and their anger has greatly weakened.
Walking past those disciples, the clever ghost also immediately recognized Tu Chen, grinned and whispered hello. However, this couldn't escape the eyes of the instructor uncle in front of him, so he cleared his throat and said sharply: "Clever ghost, when you are lucky, you must concentrate, and you will copy the mental method taught today fifty times in a while, and hand it over to me at night!"
The clever ghost looked bitter, pursed his lips and sighed: "Yes......"
After walking around several halls, Tuchen saw many new disciples, but he didn't find Mo Erha and the others who chose the Exorcism Palace.
Lingzhi rolled his eyes strangely: "Since I haven't practiced outside, I must be teaching." Teaching, of course, is in the general education fast!"
The two of them turned around and came to Pujiaozhai, hid on the side and poked their heads to check, and sure enough, they found that there were several disciples sitting in front of the glass table in the main hall, Mo Erha, Mu Qingxin and Ren Mowu brothers were among them. And the back of Uncle Fu who was teaching also looked a little familiar, and when he turned around, Tuchen suddenly shouted softly: "Uncle Fu Yan!"
Widening his eyes and taking a closer look, that person was really Fu Yan, who had not been seen for a long time, he still looked fierce and quite severe, and there was a wine jug on the Dragon and Tiger Platform in front of the main table, and there was a drawing board next to it. Fu Yan didn't notice the existence of the two, but concentrated on painting something on the drawing board.
Tuchen took out a pill from his cuff, aimed at Mo Erha's head and threw it. The pill arced over the main hall and hit the target. Mo Erha covered the back of his head and turned his head to check, and when he saw Tuchen outside the door, he was also instantly excited, and quietly waved his hand.
Unexpectedly, at the same time as Mo Erha waved his hand, Fu Yan happened to turn around, looked out of the hall along Mo Erha's gaze, and suddenly shouted: "Who is sneaking outside the hall, let me in!"
