13 Collecting Herbs from the Back Mountain

The next day, after having breakfast, the two went to the back mountain to collect herbs.Probably because An Ziyan seldom went out in the capital, or because his body was better than before and his child's character was restored, An Ziyan who came to the back mountain was full of curiosity about every plant and tree on the mountain, looking here and there. Look, if you see the flowers and plants you like, you will stay for a while, but An Ziyan just admires them and will not pick them.

Qiu Huaisheng walked in front of An Ziyan with a medicine basket on his back. If it was before, Qiu Huaisheng would have arrived at the herbal medicine field long ago, but today because of An Ziyan, he was delayed a lot of time on the road.However, Qiu Huaisheng did not show any impatience because of this, because An Ziyan looked very much like the first time he came to the back mountain. There are exotic flowers and plants that cannot be seen elsewhere, even though he has been here for five years, there are still many plants that Qiu Huaisheng cannot name.

Looking at the back mountain again, Tianling Mountain is not an independent mountain. The mountain where they live now is the main mountain of Tianling Mountain. Around the main mountain, there are other mountains, large and small, like stars arching the moon , every mountain is shrouded in clouds and smoke, and there is a waterfall in the middle of the two connected mountains, probably because the mountain is too high, the water of the waterfall is majestic, and you can hear the water flowing down from a distance the sound of.

"Seeing this beautiful scenery, it's no wonder so many people want to enter Tianling Mountain. It can be said that this scenery should only exist in the sky, how many times can the world hear it!" An Ziyan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and sighed.

"Although this scenery is beautiful, you will get tired of looking at it for a long time! The back mountain is a bit cold, you put on this clothes first, your illness is not cured yet, don't turn around and get sick again!" After saying that, Qiu Huaisheng put He took off his outer shirt and put it on An Ziyan's body. An Ziyan felt that the outer shirt still carried Qiu Huaisheng's body temperature, which warmed his heart.

"Since I came to Tianling Mountain, I have been eating medicine every day and soaking in hot spring water every now and then. Now I feel that my body is gradually getting better. Although it can't be compared with ordinary people, it is not as sick as before. Thanks to Brother Huaisheng took good care of him, otherwise Ziyan's body would not be able to recover so quickly." An Ziyan was grateful to Qiu Huaisheng from the bottom of his heart, although he would cough if there was a cold wind at night, but as soon as Qiu Huaisheng found something wrong with him, he would be sorry for him. He added clothes and carbon by himself, and if it was night, he would build an extra quilt for him.

"Everyone entrusted you to me to take care of you. It is only natural to take good care of you. Master also said that you should not suffer from this disease again, otherwise the Great Luo God will not be able to save you, so even if you go down the mountain in the future Take good care of yourself, even if you recover from your illness, you can’t ignore it, after all, your illness was brought from your mother’s womb, and the master said that this illness is the most difficult to cure.” Qiu Huaisheng said while looking for herbs on the ground.

"To put it bluntly, my life can be regarded as picked up. Ziyan is already very grateful to God for being able to live a few more years!" Before he met Master Xuanqing, he was waiting to die almost every day, so death is against An Zi. It's not terrible in words, but he can't let go of his relatives, he loves his father, father, father and younger brother, so he is not afraid of death, but reluctant to die.But fortunately, he met Master Xuanqing, who allowed him to continue to live, and he was also grateful to Qiu Huaisheng for taking care of him.

"Don't say that, don't you live well now? As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune. You are a blessed person, how can you die so easily?" Qiu Huaisheng laughed, and continued to dig herbs on the ground.

"Since brother Huaisheng doesn't like it, then let's not talk about it. Why don't brother Huaisheng teach me to recognize herbs!" After finishing speaking, An Ziyan went to Qiu Huaisheng and squatted down. "What kind of herb is this?" An Ziyan asked, pointing to the herb that Qiu Huaisheng had just dug up.

"This is called chicken bone grass. It can be used to make soup. It is mainly used for clearing away heat and detoxification, soothing the liver and relieving pain. Children with jaundice, discomfort in the ribs, and distending pain in the stomach. However, its seeds are poisonous, so its fruit should be removed when picking. This is only available in winter and spring, but because of the climate of Tianling Mountain, you can see its shadow all year round." As he said, Qiu Huaisheng removed the seeds of the chicken bone grass, and then checked that there were no other seeds. After removing the impurities, put the chicken bone grass into the medicine basket.

An Ziyan listened very carefully, and looked at it very seriously, then he turned his head and saw a place full of white flowers, An Ziyan pointed to those flowers and asked: "What kind of flower is that? It's bloomed so much!" An Ziyan couldn't restrain his excitement and walked towards those flowers.

Because those flowers were a little far away, Qiu Huaisheng couldn't see them very clearly, but in order to understand An Ziyan's curiosity, Qiu Huaisheng also walked over there, and when he walked in, he found that they were Datura flowers. The last time he came, he hadn't seen any. Why did they suddenly grow so much here? Could it be that people in the Taoist temple planted them here on purpose?

"This is datura flower, which can treat asthma, cough, convincing pain, rheumatic arthralgia, and injury from bruises. Mafeisan and Menghan medicine are made from them. However, this flower is poisonous and cannot be eaten at will. If it is swallowed by mistake, it will cause vomiting, dizziness, and confusion... in severe cases, it will cause paralysis and death."

"I didn't expect that this flower can save people and harm people. It's good medicine and medicine." An Ziyan sighed.

"It's three points of poison. Even a non-toxic good medicine will be harmful to the body if taken too much. But this mandala flower also has a function. Do you know what it is?"

"Brother Huaisheng, please make a point or two!"

"A reminder!" Qiu Huaisheng whispered into An Ziyan's ear.

"What? Reminder, remembrance|emotion!" Knowing that datura flowers have this effect, An Ziyan felt embarrassed.Among the peers around him, many of them have already been to the Goulan Courtyard, and even Ziping talked to a certain lady about a matchmaker to get married.Even if he hadn't experienced those things, he would always hear someone mentioning that even though he would never have sex with other women in his life, he would feel embarrassed to hear this.

"Hahahahaha! It's really rare that Ziyan can blush!" At first Qiu Huaisheng just wanted to tease An Ziyan, but he didn't expect An Ziyan to tease him so much.

"..." An Ziyan became speechless because of Qiu Huaisheng's teasing. He didn't expect that a serious-looking person would say some nasty words. Is that considered nasty talk?Forget it, it’s not a good thing to say anyway.

"Okay, let's stop teasing you, let's continue collecting herbs!" An Ziyan nodded, and followed Qiu Huaisheng.After that, Qiu Huaisheng explained the uses of the herbs to An Ziyan while picking herbs, and it was already past noon when the two returned.

Back at Chuyun Pavilion, Qiu Huaisheng first went to the kitchen to get some food. After all, it was already past noon. As the saying goes, people are like iron rice or steel.

After lunch, the two of them sorted the herbs they picked, put different herbs in different baskets, and put them in the sun to dry after sorting.

"It's been hard work for you to walk with me today, are you tired?" Qiu Huaisheng asked with concern.

"It's not hard work, but I learned a lot. Did you always go to the back mountain to collect herbs by yourself?"

"At first, it was brought by the brother in the pharmacy, but after learning how to distinguish herbs, I went alone."

"Then can I go with you from now on?" As soon as these words came out, Qiu Huaisheng looked at An Ziyan suspiciously. "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to stay in the house all day." Afraid that Qiu Huaisheng would not take him, An Ziyan quickly explained. "You also know that I have never traveled far before, and now I am in much better health than before, so I can't sit still..."

"What's the difficulty? If you like Houshan so much, you can tell me later. If I have time, I will take you with me, but remember not to go alone. Although there are not so many formations under the mountain, if you If you accidentally go the wrong way and touch it, the consequences will be no less than those formations at the bottom of the mountain." Qiu Huaisheng's words are not alarmist, because before this, a little Taoist priest accidentally touched a mechanism in the back mountain and almost died Killed.But the little Taoist priest is also to blame, because he wanted to steal the "Feng Shui Layout" written by Master Xuanqing. In the end, the little Taoist priest wanted to escape to the back mountain, but he touched the mechanism and alarmed Master Xuanqing, so he was rescued. come out.

"Didn't he steal something? Why save him?"

"God has the virtue of good life. Master Xuanqing asked him to return the "Feng Shui Layout" after saving him and then let him withdraw from the Taoist Temple of Tianling Mountain. The world must not let the world know that he was a disciple of Tianling Mountain!"

"Then "Feng Shui Layout" is so powerful? Someone took such a big risk to steal it!"

"That's what Reverend Xuanqing has learned all his life, and there is only one book in the world. Reverend Xuanqing knows astronomy from above and geography from below, and has the ability to predict the future. The Reverend Xuanqing we usually see only sees his most ordinary side, while he I am afraid that no one but him will know about his true talents." When Qiu Huaisheng said this, he was full of admiration for Master Xuanqing.

"But why did Reverend Xuanqing set up formations in the back mountain? Tianling Mountain already looks safe, doesn't it?" So An Ziyan still didn't understand why Reverend Xuanqing spent so much effort to get these things.

"I don't know the specific reason. I'm afraid only the old master can answer your question. But just now I said that the master has the ability to predict the future, so there must be a reason for him to set up those formations. We have always thought of the master. It's all impossible to guess." In fact, Qiu Huaisheng also wanted to understand why, he knew that Master Xuanqing could not do this simply because he calculated that someone would steal something, but if Master Xuanqing wanted to say something, he would definitely tell everyone. If you don't want to talk about it, it's useless to inquire about it.

"Hearing Brother Huaisheng say that Master Xuanqing is so powerful, I really want to worship Master Xuanqing as my teacher!" It must be a great honor to be the apprentice of such a person!An Ziyan thought in his heart.

"Master doesn't accept everyone, he only accepts predestined people!" Qiu Huaisheng teased.

"Then why is it considered a predestined relationship? Isn't it considered a predestined relationship between Master Xuanqing and I? If we don't have a destiny, I'm afraid I would have died long ago!" So An Ziyan was very curious about the predestined person in Master Xuanqing's heart. .

"Well, I don't know either. Maybe fate is not enough." So "fate" is really a wonderful thing.

The author has something to say: Mandala flowers can arouse love. Maomao was told by the local people when Maomao traveled to Yunnan. Maomao doesn't know the specific situation!But that stuff is really poisonous.
