Chapter 14 Yichang Mansion

The next time, Mo Yan dried the worm warehouse until it dried, and then knocked it into the end and began to soak it in water. When it was the ugly night, Mo Remnant in his sleep suddenly felt a fever at his big toe, and a trace of warm breath slowly ascended along the back of the foot from the Dadun acupoint, and the meridian seal, Sanyinjiao, and Ququan acupoint stagnated at the root of the thigh, and did not continue to follow the foot syncope yin and liver meridians.

For a few days, this trace of warm qi appeared in the early hours of the morning, and disappeared at the end of the morning, Mo Yan thought that this was the running time of the qi and blood of the liver meridian in the meridian flow, and it seemed that the practice should also follow the opening time of the meridians, no wonder it was always angry before.

How to take the dzi? There is no mention of a bead on the top of the head as a medicinal herb, the dzi is black and hard, and he is reluctant to break it, but just play with it in his hand.

The weather is getting colder, and Mo has Pikan on his shoulders, so he doesn't feel how cold. When there is nothing to do, he practices qi according to the running time of the meridian flow of qi and blood, and at the same time insists on taking turtle jia powder and hundred worm cang. As the days passed, his sense of qi gradually increased, and the trace of dantian qi that was originally absent slowly gathered and filled, but it still could not be circulated in the meridians.

When spring came, the salt in the jar was gone, and the mountain ghost mother and son suddenly felt that there was no taste for eating, and their appetite was greatly reduced.

Mo Yan felt that the opportunity had come.

"Ho-ho. He took the empty jar of salt and motioned for him to go and get some salt.

The mother mountain ghost naturally wished to have salt to eat, so he immediately agreed to take Mo Qian out.

Mo Yan packed up his burden and carried it on his back, which contained more than ten taels of silver given by Mr. Xia when he escaped from the Wushan Gang, as well as white bear bile and waist cards, which were to be sent to the Yichang Mansion, and finally carefully put away the dzi close to him. Before leaving, looking at the little mountain ghost who stayed in the cave and looked forward to eating salt, I really couldn't bear to sneak away like this, but what could I do?

In the early morning, the mother mountain ghost took Mo Yan through the vast primeval forest, climbed over the mountains and rivers, waded through countless streams and rivers, and finally walked out of the Shennongjia primeval forest the next morning and came to a hill full of arrows and bamboos.

Mo Yan was almost unsteady when he landed, and it took a long time to recover his strength.

At the foot of the mountain is a small town, where smoke curls and chickens smell each other. There is a small market in the town, which is very lively with people coming and going, and I don't know how far it is from the river crossing of the old people.

Mo Yan walked down the hill alone, and the mother mountain ghost hid in the bamboo forest and waited for him to come back.

When I came to the bazaar, I looked back and saw that the bamboo forest on the hill had been hidden in the hazy mist.

"Uncle, how far is it from Yanhedu Town here?" Mo asked passers-by.

The man shook his head, and asked several more people in succession, all of whom replied that they did not know.

An old man selling mountain goods looked at the ragged young man in surprise, and said suspiciously: "This little brother, are you asking the river crossing in Badong County, Yichang Prefecture, it is far away." This is the territory of Baokang County, Yunyang County, if you go to cross along the river, you must first go south to Yichang Mansion, and then go back to the river to Badong, there are seven or eight hundred miles. ”

Mo Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and thought that he should go to Yichang Mansion first.

"Freshly out of the drawer, hot meat buns......" shouted from the market, and the aroma of pasta wafted in the wind.

Mo was so hungry that he couldn't remember how long he hadn't touched food, so he sat in front of the stall and ate more than ten meat buns in one go, feeling that this was what people were doing.

At this time, he remembered the little mountain ghost, and its longing and expectant eyes, although it did not understand human language, but it was as innocent and simple as a child. After living with the mountain ghost mother and son for a year, he experienced the natural and real primitive emotions of animals, without the deceit and hypocrisy of human beings.

The mother mountain ghost saved her life several times, did she just sneak away and let her wait on the hill with hope?

Mo Yan hesitated, he wanted to do something for the mountain ghost mother and son, and then he could leave with peace of mind.

The mother mountain ghost hid on the hill and looked at the path up the mountain, and after a long time, he saw Mo Yan carrying a bamboo basket and a heavy sack in his hand, walking step by step, he happily "ho ho" and ran over, picked up Mo Yan and those things with both arms, and ran into the forest like a smoke.

Back in the cave, when the mountain ghost mother and son saw the bamboo basket and sack full of salt, enough to eat for many years, they were so excited that they couldn't close their mouths. Finally, he found the large iron pot at the bottom of the basket, a few bundles of mugwort and a woodcutter, but he did not understand what it was for.

After that, Mo Yan spent a few months, and gradually taught the mother mountain ghost how to use the fire sickle and mugwort to make fire, chop wood, dagger deboning and cutting, and boil water and stew meat in an iron pot. He also quietly chopped two bamboo tubes, and poured the remaining turtle nail powder and the hundred insect warehouse into the sealed mouth.

When that was all done, he was relieved that it was time to go.

The mother mountain ghost also seemed to be aware of Mo Yan's unusual behavior.

At night, he sat alone outside the cave, staring at the starry sky with his eyes, as if thoughtful.

Mo Yan silently came to the side of the mother mountain ghost.

"Ho-ho, ho-ho-ho......" The female mountain ghost stretched out her arm and pointed to the distant sky.

After a long time, Mo Yan nodded lightly.

The next time, Mo Yan came out of the cave with his burden, and the little mountain ghost "Ho Ho" shouted and hugged his leg and refused to let go, but after all, he still had to go. The mother mountain ghost picked up the little mountain ghost and Mo Yan in both arms, and walked into the reckless forest sea.

Two days later, they came to the hill in Baokang County.

Mo Yan is gone.

The mother mountain ghost and the little mountain ghost looked at his back as he gradually moved away, and a gust of wind blew on his face, and a few cold tears fell.

Yichang Mansion, formerly known as Yiling, has been a prosperous place since ancient times.

This time, a young man with an old burden came to the front of the mansion, and he was Mo Remnant.

"I want to see Lord Gui, the prefect of Yichang. Mo Yan said to the guard.

"Fuck off, little one. When the guards saw that he was in rags, they waved him away.

Mo Yan reached out and took out his waist card from his arms.

"Hey, isn't this Foreman Dou's waist card?" the guard was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where did you get this waist card?"

"Foreman Dou asked me to come to see the prefect. Mo replied.

"Okay, you come with me. The guards led Mo Yan into the mansion, asked him to wait in front of the lobby, and then hurried to the prefect with the waist card.

After a while, the guard led a fat old man in a crimson coat to him.

"The old man is Gui Qi, the prefect of Yichang. The fat old man's eyes looked at Mo Yan, "Who are you, why do you have Foreman Dou's waist card in your hand?"

"My name is Mo Yan, Dou Foreman Fu Yaoshi, they are all dead...... Mo Yan recounted the experience of entering Shennongjia to hunt the white bear cubs and the guards burying them under the clutches of the mother bear.

After listening to this, Governor Gui said slowly: "So, the white bear gold gall has been obtained?"

"Yes, before he died, Pharmacist Fu asked me to come to Yichang Mansion and hand it over to my lord. Mo Yan took out the shriveled yellow bear bile from his bosom and handed it over.

"This is the golden gall of Shennong White Bear?" Gui Governor looked at the bear gall suspiciously, "The guards are all dead, how did you get out of a little child, why did you come to inform the mansion a year later?"

Mo Yan didn't want to tell the story of the mountain ghost, they wouldn't believe it, and besides, if he led the way to catch the mountain ghost mother and son, it would be troublesome. Thinking of this, he replied: "I just got away with it, and then I had a serious illness and spent a year in a mountain family's house." ”

Gui Zhifu nodded, maybe this kid has a big life, anyway, he has to let the pharmacist of the pharmacy know the truth after identification, he ordered his guards to take Mo Yu down to rest first, and then ordered someone to invite the pharmacist of the pharmacy to come over.

Not long after, several pharmacists from Yichang Huimin Pharmacy hurriedly came.

The bear bile in the porcelain dish is long and flattened ovate, the bottom is sac-shaped, and the whole body is golden color.

An elderly pharmacist said, "My lord, common bear bile is black or yellow-brown, the black one is called 'ink gall' or 'iron gall', and the yellow-brown gall is called 'copper gall' with transparent amber kernels. This bear bile is pure gold, fragrant and rare, and it is undoubtedly the golden gall of Shennong white bear. ”

Another pharmacist answered: "Bear bile ranks first among the four major animal medicinal materials today, bear bile, musk, tiger bone and bezoar, and this white bear is unique to my Yichang Mansion. ”

"Haha," Gui Zhifu laughed proudly, "This mansion will play the imperial court, and choose to send Shennong White Bear Golden Gall into Beijing to face the saint, and the emperor will definitely be happy." ”

"Congratulations, sir. ”

"Let's go down. Governor Gui waved his hand, and the pharmacists retreated.

"Yo, my lord, what makes you so happy?" The inner hall turned out a bun and pulled back, a cold woman in green clothes.

Gui Zhifu pointed to the bear gall on the case and said: "This is Shennong white bear gold gall, the only one in the world, the emperor is suffering from eye disease, this government takes this opportunity to enter Beijing to pay tribute, and will definitely increase the official and enter the knighthood, reward, not to mention." ”

"Congratulations," the woman laughed, "I wonder how you got this rare thing?"

"A year ago, the government sent a team of men and horses to hunt the white bear, and except for the two injured guards who came back earlier, the rest died in Shennongjia. I thought that I had nothing to do with this golden gall in this life, but I didn't expect to be picked up by a child named Mo Remnant, this is the will of God, and I should be Gui Qi Hongyun. Governor Gui said complacently.

"A child is so powerful," the woman hesitated for a moment, then asked, "what do you say is the child's name?"

"Don't be disabled. ”

"Mo remnant......" The woman thought for a moment, and her face gradually changed.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" asked Gui Governor in surprise.

"This old thing has been locked up in the dungeon for a year, and he refuses to tell the secret recipe for healing the seven absolute veins, and he will kill it according to the wishes of the slave family, but Steward Xue said that the secret recipe is unique in the world and is priceless. A few days before the young gang leader died, Xia Bashan's apprentice suddenly disappeared, and there was no news for a year. Yan'er said angrily.

"So what?"

"The name of Xia Bashan's apprentice is Mo Yan. ”
