Magical Medicine in ancient times
Chapter 29 Elixir Host, Do You Know What You Say...
Zhou Jin paused as he wiped his hands, and then said nonchalantly, "The skin on your face is severely rotted, and it will take at least two months for it to fully heal."
The woman closed her eyes as if relieved, and said gratefully: "Doctor Zhou, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I really don't know how long I can hold on!"
"Madam Zheng, you are welcome, but I have a question to ask Madam Zheng. Do you have a place to stay in the town?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This time I am going back to my natal family to visit relatives, and I live in Renjitang."
The woman answered truthfully, that is, Zhou Jin, if another man asked this question to a woman, he would be regarded as a disciple!
"Renji Hall? What is your relationship with Dr. Fang?"
"It's my father." The woman frowned, "Actually, I came back this time to seek treatment from my father, but my father was helpless. I originally planned to return to Yongning Mansion tomorrow, so my father asked me to come and see you. Maybe there is a solution, and now it seems that my father is right."
"Doctor Fang asked you to come to me?" Zhou Jin was very impressed with this Doctor Fang, thinking that he had been living under his shadow all the time!
The woman nodded, "My father has always been full of praise for you, saying that you are benevolent and skilled, and your medical skills are excellent. The act of free diagnosis is really high righteousness."
Zhou Jin showed doubts, was she really flattering him on purpose?
The woman said with a smile in her eyes: "Actually, all the people in Ganjiu Town know about Dr. Zhou's ingenious art of rejuvenation. Although my father is stubborn and old-fashioned, he admires you very much."
Zhou Jin nodded embarrassingly, he didn't expect Doctor Fang to think so highly of him!
Madam Zheng looked at Zhou Jin with red ears in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the genius doctor who had an aura of superiority and admiration just now was like a pure and immature boy blushing at the praise of others.
The contrast is too great!
Zhou Jinqing coughed and said, "Mrs. Zheng, you'd better not leave the town for the past two months, in case there is something wrong with the wound, I won't be able to treat it in time."
"Okay! Doctor Zhou, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
After saying goodbye, the two left the hospital with their arms.
It's only You time, that is, after 17:[-] in the afternoon. This is the earliest day to get off work in recent days.
Zhou Jin twisted his neck and relaxed for a rare moment.
He pushed open the courtyard door, and saw Shang Gui and Gouzi sitting in a row on the porch, looking up at the osmanthus flowers fluttering.
When the two heard the movement, they stood up at the same time, "Ah Jin, has the patient left?"
Zhou Jin nodded.
Shang Gui pursed his lips, his eyes drooped, like a puppy with drooping ears and tail, his whole body exuded a pitiful smell: "Ah Jin, I'm sorry just now..."
Zhou Jin went up to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I know you didn't do it on purpose, don't blame yourself."
"It's rare to finish work early today, so how about I invite you to Xunyilou for dinner tonight? Order whatever you want!"
"...Ah Jin, I won't go, I want to go back to see my mother tonight! I will definitely be back tomorrow morning." Shang Gui said.
"That's good, you haven't been back for so long, Aunt He must miss you too!"
Zhou Jin expressed his understanding, he was too busy during this time, and Shang Gui had been living in the hospital and hadn't been back yet.
"Yeah, thank you Jin, then I'll go first."
"Okay, be careful on the road!" Zhou Jin watched his leaving back.
After Shang Gui left, Gou Zi and Zhou Jin were left standing in the courtyard.
"Doctor Zhou..."
"You have something to do too?"
Zhou Jin turned to look at him.
"No, I'm just..." Gouzi hesitated to speak, pinching the corner of his clothes with his fingers.
Zhou Jin nodded clearly, he probably understood what was going on.
In fact, he felt a little bit sorry that Gouzi and him were neither relatives nor relatives, and had no formal employment relationship, yet he was able to do his best in the busiest days of the medical center!Help, to be honest, really helped him a lot.
He bent his lips and said, "Goofy, I have worked hard for you these few days. You are not from the hospital, but you still help me so much! I am very grateful to you! I will recruit two more guys tomorrow, and you will be there by then." You don't have to work so hard, as for the consultation fee you owe..."
Before Zhou Jin finished speaking, Gouzi suddenly knelt on the ground with a "bang", kowtowed three times and said, "Doctor Zhou, please accept me as a disciple!"
He raised his head and stared at Zhou Jin with burning eyes.
"You want to study medicine?"
Zhou Jin never expected that what he wanted to say was this?
"Yes, Doctor Zhou, please accept me as an apprentice, I will definitely study hard!"
"You know, studying medicine is a very hard thing."
"I know, I've been working in the medical clinic for the past few days and I've thought clearly. I want to study medicine, and I want to treat diseases and save lives like you." Gouzi's tone was full of longing.
Zhou Jin looked thoughtfully at the dog kneeling on the ground, and he thought, maybe it would be good to have an apprentice, and it would be much better to train him himself than to do everything possible to poach someone outside.
And after getting along these few days, he also found that Gouzi can endure hardships and is also quite smart.It wouldn't be bad if he was accepted as a disciple.
He quickly made a decision in his mind.
"You get up first!"
"Doctor Zhou?" Gouzi's eyes flashed with disappointment, and the corners of his eyes turned red, which made his little tear mole even scarletr.
"It's not easy being my apprentice, I'm very strict! Have you really thought about it?" Zhou Jin pretended to be serious, with an imperceptible smile hidden in his eyes.
Gouzi's eyes immediately burst into excitement, and he said excitedly: "Thank you Zhou...thank you master! Master, please be respected by disciples!"
Immediately after speaking, kowtow three times.
Zhou Jin smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, get up quickly! Don't just kneel down."
"Yes, master!" Gouzi stood up, patted the ashes on his knees, and smirked at Zhou Jin, showing a row of big white teeth.
"Dog, you..."
"Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just want to ask if Gouzi is your real name? Or do you have another name?"
"I have been called Gouzi since I was a child. Grandpa said it was easy to feed, and everyone called me that way."
Zhou Jin let out a "huh" and said, "Is that so, then would you like to choose a new name?"
"Yes, of course I am, master, but can I have the same surname as you?" Gouzi scratched his hair with his head down, and secretly glanced at Zhou Jin's expression.
"What does it matter? If you want your surname to be Zhou, you can take the surname Zhou! Let me think about it, what name should I choose?"
Zhou Jin stroked his chin, thinking carefully.
Gouzi looked at him eagerly.
"Well, why not call him Zhou Cixin?"
After saying that, Zhou Jin immediately felt awkward again, why is it so similar to a girl's name?
But Gouzi looked excited, he could not wait to jump up and cheer: "Thank you Master, Zhou Cixin, I have a name, I have a surname, my surname is Zhou, my name is Zhou Cixin, I will never be called Gouzi again!"
As he spoke, tears slowly welled up in his eyes.
He immediately raised his sleeve and touched his eyes, "I'm sorry, master, I'm just so happy!"
He sniffed and looked at Zhou Jin with a smirk with his red eyes.
Zhou Jin patted him on the shoulder amusedly.
A gust of hot wind blew by, and the osmanthus flowers all over the tree fluttered, bringing a burst of refreshing fragrance. Several days have passed, and the osmanthus trees still haven't withered.
Zhou Jin walked to the corner where the "Chiba Illusory Jade Grass" had been planted, and squatted down.
The place surrounded by the simple fence has grown slender leaves about a foot high. The leaves are similar to bluegrass, layered on top of each other, as if they really have a thousand petals.
"Master, what is this?"
"The herbs I plant are very precious, you have to be careful not to touch them..."
"Master, do you think he has grown flower bones?" Gou Zi half-closed his eyes and murmured.
Um?Why didn't he see it?
Zhou Jin leaned closer to the center of the leaf, and sure enough, he saw several tiny flower buds hidden in the leaf.
"Tongtong, look quickly, is it about to bloom?" Zhou Jin called out to the system with joy.
"Yes, the host, you have to watch over these two nights. The Chiba Illusion Jade Grass usually blooms at around one o'clock in the morning. When the flowers are in full bloom, they must be picked immediately, otherwise it will wither soon. This is also the reason for its name." The source is like a beautiful illusion.”
Bloom at night?Why is it the same as Epiphyllum!
It seemed that he might not be able to sleep well tonight.
Zhou Jin returned to the room, rolled around on the bed, and then opened the system storage compartment.
Finally enjoy the fun of unpacking!
He patrolled around, huh?
What about his sterile space shield?Why is there only one more silver ganoderma grass in the grid?
Did the system hack his prize?
"Host, please don't judge a gentleman's belly with your villainous heart! The sterile space shield is a system built-in instrument, which can only be opened by system operation." No. 01 fried hair.
"That's it. Hehehe... I was just thinking about it, just kidding, my whole body is so cute, how could I do such a thing!" Zhou Jin quickly comforted her.
"Humph!"
Zhou Jin scratched his head, why did he feel that the system was getting more and more childish?
Is it his delusion?
"Tongtong, don't be angry, tell me about the use of the sterile space shield!"
"The sterile space shield is a large-area space-type sterile energy shield. This function is suitable for large-scale surgical operations in the field to prevent patients from being infected due to surgery. The host can choose the place that needs to be sterile, and use this as the center to expand the surrounding space." Diffusion of 1000 meters. It can also be divided into countless circle centers. As long as the sum of the divided areas is within the range of 1000 meters, it is fine."
Zhou Jin frowned and asked, "Then if I plan to open 100 space shields, can each shield be 10 square meters?"
"Yes, host. You are not stupid!"
Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows, so is it difficult?
He twitched the corner of his mouth, and continued to look at the function description of Yinzhicao.
Yinzhi grass: formerly known as Yinzhi longevity grass.Rarity 3S level.Grow on planet β28.It can remove a large number of free oxidative radicals in the human body to delay the aging of the human body and replenish innate vitality.Nourishes internal organs.
Zhou Jin frowned after reading it, this is Ganoderma lucidum!Why do you still mark it with a rarity of 3S?It made him think how precious it was!
"Host, do you know that the so-called Ganoderma lucidum in your mouth can allow interstellar humans to live hundreds or even thousands of years old?"
what! ?
Zhou Jin's eyes widened in shock. Could this be the legendary elixir of life?
Zhou Jin's heart was pounding, did he get the treasure?
He got the elixir of life that human beings have been pursuing for thousands of years?
"Host, calm down! Your blood pressure has soared abnormally! Elixir does not exist! Yinzhi Changshengcao can only delay aging and prolong human life. But birth, aging, sickness and death are natural ways. No one can break it, even if Let you live hundreds of thousands of years longer, and the final result is still to become one with nature."
"All, I understand. But for ordinary people, living a few hundred years longer is a huge temptation! How different is this from being immortal!"
Zhou Jin's face flushed red and he was extremely excited.
Although he has no interest in immortality, how could it not be exciting to get such a precious medicinal material all of a sudden!
"It may not be possible to live so long. There is another reason why the people of the interstellar era maximize the efficacy of silver sesame grass. It is because they practice spiritual power. Human beings are extremely fragile now, and their bodies cannot cooperate with the efficacy of silver sesame grass. The height of a thousand years. The only interstellar human being who lived to be two thousand years old is a legendary figure with 5S mental power! Therefore, ordinary human beings may live a few hundred years at most."
Zhou Jin: ...
So a few hundred years old is rare?
Sure enough, long-lived species like the system have obstacles in their cognition of the length of time.
But this medicine is so precious, in the era of supremacy of imperial power, if there is no absolute power to protect the treasure, no one can let anyone know of the existence of the treasure.
Zhou Jin understands the pursuit of longevity by human beings too well, especially powerful people.
Thinking about it this way, this silver sesame grass is also quite tasteless, and things that cannot be used, no matter how precious they are, can only be kept at the bottom of the box.
"Host, each Yinzhi grass can extract up to five longevity pills, and the effectiveness will be greatly reduced if this amount is exceeded! You can refine ten, twenty, or thirty longevity pills from one silver Zhicao, so that the effect will be diluted. .”
Can this be done?
Zhou Jin immediately became happy when he heard it.
He refines some elixir from a silver zhicao to enhance his physical fitness!It is also good as a health supplement!
Zhou Jin took out the silvery lucidum seeds and carefully held them in his palm. He walked slowly into the yard, carefully selected a good location that was not too eye-catching and had enough light, and planted the silvery lucidum seeds.
Then he carefully surrounded a fence with branches, and then he patted the dirt on his hands with satisfaction.
Looking at the wet and soft soil, he muttered to himself: "Silver Zhicao, Yinzhi Grass, you must grow up quickly!"
The night in June came slowly. When the red clouds filled the sky and the golden crows began to sink westward, the footsteps of those returning home also became busy.
Shang Gui walked quickly in the alley with a bag of sugar cakes he bought from "Suji Pastry" on the corner of the street.The dim light of the sky elongated his shadow, which was projected twistedly on the bluestone wall on the side.
He turned a corner, and faced a wooden door.The bumpy marks on the door panel show the traces of time.
He pushed open the door and walked in.Inside is a small yard, with stacks of dried hay piled up in the corner.
The creaking sound of stepping on the pedals came from the half-open door of the main room.
Shang Gui's pretty brows tightened, and he walked in.There was no light in the room, only the dim light from the window could see a woman wearing a cloth jin sitting by the window weaving, the shuttle in her hand was jumping left and right.
"Mother, why are you weaving without lighting a lamp? If you continue like this, your eyes will be even less able to see clearly!"
The woman who heard the voice raised her head suddenly, and then she showed a surprised smile: "Ah Gui, you are back! What are you doing with the lights? It's not dark yet, and you can see clearly. Are you hungry? Mom will do it right away." meal."
Aunt He got up quickly and left the loom.She wiped her hands on her apron before going to work in the kitchen.
Shang Gui felt bad, his mother had eye disease, but in order to save a few pennies, she would rather weave in the dark than light a lamp.
He stopped her sideways and said: "Mother, don't be too busy, I bought some pastries that you like, come and have a taste."
Aunt He took the pastries, with a smile of relief and blame on her face: "Why do you buy this, it costs a lot of money, you work so hard to earn money, keep it for yourself and marry a wife later..."
"Mother..." Shang Gui blushed.
"Okay, okay, mother will stop talking."
Aunt He picked up a piece and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly, "Ah Gui, you can eat it too."
"I've eaten it, mother, eat it!" Shang Gui waved his hand.
"This child, so many mothers can't finish it, come and eat together." She picked up a piece and handed it to Shang Gui's mouth.
Shang Gui had no choice but to open his mouth to eat, and a sweet taste filled his mouth.
"Why did you come back so early today? I heard that the medical center is very busy recently, and Ah Jin has finally come to the rescue."
"A special patient came to the medical center today, so it closed early."
Through the skylight outside the window, Shang Gui saw his mother's white temple hair and wrinkled eyes.
She is only in her thirties, but she is as old as a fifty-year-old woman.
Shang Gui felt uncomfortable, his nose felt sour, and his eyes gradually became moist.
Aunt He immediately put down the pastry and said worriedly: "What's wrong with Ah Gui? Did something happen?"
"No, it's nothing, mother, eat quickly." Shang Gui touched the moist eye sockets.
"How can I eat this? If you don't say anything, Mother will be very panicked."
Aunt He held her son's hand, her eyes filled with worry.
"It's really nothing, I just feel that I'm too useless and I can't do anything well. I can't let my mother live a good life, and I can't even bear to light candles..." Shang Gui said with bitterness in his heart.
When Aunt He heard her son say this, her hanging heart relaxed. She stroked his hair amusedly, and comforted her: "What are you talking about, my Agui is the most sensible. You are working in the hospital now, don't be afraid Hard work. Follow Ah Jin to learn well, and when I become a teacher in the future, my mother will enjoy the blessings with you!"
"Well, I will work hard!" Shang Gui nodded vigorously.
Aunt He bent her smiling eyes, and the wrinkles at the end of her eyes formed layers of lines, "I am very happy now. A few days ago, your elder sister came to see me. She is pregnant, a little fatter, and her face is full of smiles. .”
"Auntie is pregnant? Why didn't I know!" Shang Gui was very surprised, he didn't hear the news at all.
"Yeah, I'm six months pregnant, with a round belly, probably a boy. Her life is getting better, and when she has a baby, Ah Qiang won't beat her anymore. The biggest wish in my life is you We have a good life, fortunately God treats me well."
As Aunt He said this, her eyes were full of happiness, she was very satisfied with her current life.Although poor, but the children are all around, safe and sound, which is not envied by many people.
"That's good, I'm relieved that my sister is doing well!" Shang Gui finally showed a faint smile.
The darkness gradually covered the sky, and countless stars shone like bright diamonds dotted beside Leng Yue.
The watchman beat the gong and ran across the streets and alleys, reminding that the third watch has arrived, so be careful of the candles.
Late at night, the dew was heavy, and the sounds of frogs and insects came from the grass on the side of the road one after another.
Under the projection of Yinhui, several figures sneaked forward along the corner of the wall.
"Brother Niu, are we really going?" The man who walked at the end deliberately lowered his voice and asked softly. Listening carefully, he could hear the anxiety and fear in his voice.
"Shh, it's all here, why are you asking this?"
"I just don't think it's a good idea..."
Brother Niu stared, puffing up his eyes like a bullfrog, "Then what are you doing here? Don't tell me you regret it now!"
"You two, what are you arguing about! Do you have to attract others to be satisfied?"
The man walking in the front turned his head, his eyes shone shrewdly under the moonlight.He said bitterly: "Da Zhu, if you don't want to go, just wait here! We will go, but we won't give you anything."
"No! Uncle Cai, I didn't say I wouldn't go, I will definitely go for my girl!" Da Zhu hurriedly explained, his voice raised a little unconsciously.
Suddenly there was a barking sound from inside the wall, and several people silenced the sound immediately, all showing panicked expressions.
"Quick, let's go!"
A few people immediately hunched over the wall and quickly turned into an alley.
"Host, wake up! It's almost one o'clock, hurry up and watch the Chiba Illusory Jade Grass bloom!"
Zhou Jin furrowed his eyebrows tightly, smacking his mouth and raving unconsciously.
"Host!"
"Hmm..." Zhou Jin slowly opened his eyelids that seemed to be glued together, feeling drowsy, and he quickly ran to meet Zhou Yue again.
"Host?"
no response.
Well, don't blame him for being ruthless!
"drop…………"
A sharp and piercing alarm sounded suddenly in Zhou Jin's mind.
"Ah! Stop it, your head is going to explode!" Zhou Jin suddenly turned over and sat up, completely awake.
"Tongtong, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, it hurts my heart too much!" Zhou Jin said tearfully, clutching his chest.
"Okay, stop acting! Hurry up and watch outside, if you miss the blooming of the Chiba Magic Jade Flower, you will apologize with death!" No. 01 complained with his hips akimbo.
Putting on his clothes, Zhou Jin walked into the yard by the moonlight.
The cool wind that belongs to the night is blowing gently, and the osmanthus tree is slowly swaying, making a slight rustling sound.The light yellow petals all over the tree are fluttering one after another, dotted with stars, like stars fluttering and dancing under the silvery moonlight.
"It's so beautiful!" Zhou Jin couldn't help sighing in a daze.
He squatted down, and saw that the flower bone during the day had turned into a large flower cell that was about to bloom, and the jade-white petals emerging from it could be faintly seen.
"Wow, it's about to bloom!" Zhou Jin stared at the buds with wide eyes without blinking.
"Slow down, slow down! Don't push so hard!"
"Dazhu, hold on, don't step on it!"
Zhou Jin: ...
"Tongtong, did you hear any sound?"
"I heard the host, there are three people outside your courtyard wall, and they are planning to come in!" No. 01 said in a firm tone.
Zhou Jin:? ?
Did he meet a thief?
Zhou Jin raised his eyes to look at the source of the sound. With his better eyesight, he saw a black head looming from the courtyard wall.
The man shrunk his head and scanned the yard carefully, then stared obsessively at the blooming osmanthus trees.He murmured softly, "Sacred Tree, I saw the Divine Tree! It's so beautiful!"
The person under his feet said with difficulty: "Dazhu, how is it? Is there anyone?"
Dazhu immediately withdrew his eyes and inspected the courtyard carefully, seeing that the room was pitch black, he whispered: "No!"
Zhou Jin squatting in the corner: ...
Isn't he human?
"The host doesn't care about them, hurry up and see the flowers, they are about to bloom!" No. 01 shouted suddenly.
Zhou Jin lowered his head hastily, and saw the flower cells burst open suddenly, like a beautiful woman waking up from a deep sleep among layers of leaves, stretching out her white jade skirt gracefully and noblely.
Layers of white jade-like petals spread out one by one, exuding radiance and crystal clear under the moonlight.
After one flower blooms, the buds behind it bloom one after another.
So beautiful!
"Host, pick it up!" No. 01 urged again and again!
The person by the wall fell down with a plop.
Zhou Jin couldn't care less about them anymore, picking flowers was the most important thing.
Seeing the color of the first blooming flower gradually dim, Zhou Jin quickly cut it off from the root of the flower.
"Take it easy, don't wake up the people in the room!"
"Sacred tree, sacred tree, I don't intend to offend you, I just want to pick up some petals you scattered on the ground, please forgive me."
Several people bowed respectfully to the osmanthus tree, and then began to lie on the ground and hold the petals in a hurry.
Zhou Jin, who was paying attention to those people while picking flowers: ...
So they came here in the middle of the night just to pick up sweet-scented osmanthus? ?
The woman closed her eyes as if relieved, and said gratefully: "Doctor Zhou, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I really don't know how long I can hold on!"
"Madam Zheng, you are welcome, but I have a question to ask Madam Zheng. Do you have a place to stay in the town?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This time I am going back to my natal family to visit relatives, and I live in Renjitang."
The woman answered truthfully, that is, Zhou Jin, if another man asked this question to a woman, he would be regarded as a disciple!
"Renji Hall? What is your relationship with Dr. Fang?"
"It's my father." The woman frowned, "Actually, I came back this time to seek treatment from my father, but my father was helpless. I originally planned to return to Yongning Mansion tomorrow, so my father asked me to come and see you. Maybe there is a solution, and now it seems that my father is right."

Gouzi's eyes immediately burst into excitement, and he said excitedly: "Thank you Zhou...thank you master! Master, please be respected by disciples!"
Immediately after speaking, kowtow three times.
Zhou Jin smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, get up quickly! Don't just kneel down."
"Yes, master!" Gouzi stood up, patted the ashes on his knees, and smirked at Zhou Jin, showing a row of big white teeth.
"Dog, you..."
"Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just want to ask if Gouzi is your real name? Or do you have another name?"

He sniffed and looked at Zhou Jin with a smirk with his red eyes.

"Master, do you think he has grown flower bones?" Gou Zi half-closed his eyes and murmured.
Um?Why didn't he see it?
Zhou Jin leaned closer to the center of the leaf, and sure enough, he saw several tiny flower buds hidden in the leaf.
"Tongtong, look quickly, is it about to bloom?" Zhou Jin called out to the system with joy.
"Yes, the host, you have to watch over these two nights. The Chiba Illusion Jade Grass usually blooms at around one o'clock in the morning. When the flowers are in full bloom, they must be picked immediately, otherwise it will wither soon. This is also the reason for its name." The source is like a beautiful illusion.”
Bloom at night?Why is it the same as Epiphyllum!
It seemed that he might not be able to sleep well tonight.
Zhou Jin returned to the room, rolled around on the bed, and then opened the system storage compartment.
Finally enjoy the fun of unpacking!
He patrolled around, huh?
What about his sterile space shield?Why is there only one more silver ganoderma grass in the grid?
Did the system hack his prize?
"Host, please don't judge a gentleman's belly with your villainous heart! The sterile space shield is a system built-in instrument, which can only be opened by system operation." No. 01 fried hair.
"That's it. Hehehe... I was just thinking about it, just kidding, my whole body is so cute, how could I do such a thing!" Zhou Jin quickly comforted her.
"Humph!"
Zhou Jin scratched his head, why did he feel that the system was getting more and more childish?
Is it his delusion?
"Tongtong, don't be angry, tell me about the use of the sterile space shield!"
"The sterile space shield is a large-area space-type sterile energy shield. This function is suitable for large-scale surgical operations in the field to prevent patients from being infected due to surgery. The host can choose the place that needs to be sterile, and use this as the center to expand the surrounding space." Diffusion of 1000 meters. It can also be divided into countless circle centers. As long as the sum of the divided areas is within the range of 1000 meters, it is fine."
Zhou Jin frowned and asked, "Then if I plan to open 100 space shields, can each shield be 10 square meters?"
"Yes, host. You are not stupid!"
Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows, so is it difficult?
He twitched the corner of his mouth, and continued to look at the function description of Yinzhicao.
Yinzhi grass: formerly known as Yinzhi longevity grass.Rarity 3S level.Grow on planet β28.It can remove a large number of free oxidative radicals in the human body to delay the aging of the human body and replenish innate vitality.Nourishes internal organs.
Zhou Jin frowned after reading it, this is Ganoderma lucidum!Why do you still mark it with a rarity of 3S?It made him think how precious it was!
"Host, do you know that the so-called Ganoderma lucidum in your mouth can allow interstellar humans to live hundreds or even thousands of years old?"
what! ?
Zhou Jin's eyes widened in shock. Could this be the legendary elixir of life?
Zhou Jin's heart was pounding, did he get the treasure?
He got the elixir of life that human beings have been pursuing for thousands of years?
"Host, calm down! Your blood pressure has soared abnormally! Elixir does not exist! Yinzhi Changshengcao can only delay aging and prolong human life. But birth, aging, sickness and death are natural ways. No one can break it, even if Let you live hundreds of thousands of years longer, and the final result is still to become one with nature."
"All, I understand. But for ordinary people, living a few hundred years longer is a huge temptation! How different is this from being immortal!"
Zhou Jin's face flushed red and he was extremely excited.
Although he has no interest in immortality, how could it not be exciting to get such a precious medicinal material all of a sudden!
"It may not be possible to live so long. There is another reason why the people of the interstellar era maximize the efficacy of silver sesame grass. It is because they practice spiritual power. Human beings are extremely fragile now, and their bodies cannot cooperate with the efficacy of silver sesame grass. The height of a thousand years. The only interstellar human being who lived to be two thousand years old is a legendary figure with 5S mental power! Therefore, ordinary human beings may live a few hundred years at most."
Zhou Jin: ...
So a few hundred years old is rare?
Sure enough, long-lived species like the system have obstacles in their cognition of the length of time.
But this medicine is so precious, in the era of supremacy of imperial power, if there is no absolute power to protect the treasure, no one can let anyone know of the existence of the treasure.
Zhou Jin understands the pursuit of longevity by human beings too well, especially powerful people.
Thinking about it this way, this silver sesame grass is also quite tasteless, and things that cannot be used, no matter how precious they are, can only be kept at the bottom of the box.
"Host, each Yinzhi grass can extract up to five longevity pills, and the effectiveness will be greatly reduced if this amount is exceeded! You can refine ten, twenty, or thirty longevity pills from one silver Zhicao, so that the effect will be diluted. .”
Can this be done?
Zhou Jin immediately became happy when he heard it.
He refines some elixir from a silver zhicao to enhance his physical fitness!It is also good as a health supplement!
Zhou Jin took out the silvery lucidum seeds and carefully held them in his palm. He walked slowly into the yard, carefully selected a good location that was not too eye-catching and had enough light, and planted the silvery lucidum seeds.
Then he carefully surrounded a fence with branches, and then he patted the dirt on his hands with satisfaction.
Looking at the wet and soft soil, he muttered to himself: "Silver Zhicao, Yinzhi Grass, you must grow up quickly!"
The night in June came slowly. When the red clouds filled the sky and the golden crows began to sink westward, the footsteps of those returning home also became busy.
Shang Gui walked quickly in the alley with a bag of sugar cakes he bought from "Suji Pastry" on the corner of the street.The dim light of the sky elongated his shadow, which was projected twistedly on the bluestone wall on the side.
He turned a corner, and faced a wooden door.The bumpy marks on the door panel show the traces of time.
He pushed open the door and walked in.Inside is a small yard, with stacks of dried hay piled up in the corner.
The creaking sound of stepping on the pedals came from the half-open door of the main room.
Shang Gui's pretty brows tightened, and he walked in.There was no light in the room, only the dim light from the window could see a woman wearing a cloth jin sitting by the window weaving, the shuttle in her hand was jumping left and right.
"Mother, why are you weaving without lighting a lamp? If you continue like this, your eyes will be even less able to see clearly!"
The woman who heard the voice raised her head suddenly, and then she showed a surprised smile: "Ah Gui, you are back! What are you doing with the lights? It's not dark yet, and you can see clearly. Are you hungry? Mom will do it right away." meal."
Aunt He got up quickly and left the loom.She wiped her hands on her apron before going to work in the kitchen.
Shang Gui felt bad, his mother had eye disease, but in order to save a few pennies, she would rather weave in the dark than light a lamp.
He stopped her sideways and said: "Mother, don't be too busy, I bought some pastries that you like, come and have a taste."
Aunt He took the pastries, with a smile of relief and blame on her face: "Why do you buy this, it costs a lot of money, you work so hard to earn money, keep it for yourself and marry a wife later..."
"Mother..." Shang Gui blushed.
"Okay, okay, mother will stop talking."
Aunt He picked up a piece and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly, "Ah Gui, you can eat it too."
"I've eaten it, mother, eat it!" Shang Gui waved his hand.
"This child, so many mothers can't finish it, come and eat together." She picked up a piece and handed it to Shang Gui's mouth.
Shang Gui had no choice but to open his mouth to eat, and a sweet taste filled his mouth.
"Why did you come back so early today? I heard that the medical center is very busy recently, and Ah Jin has finally come to the rescue."
"A special patient came to the medical center today, so it closed early."
Through the skylight outside the window, Shang Gui saw his mother's white temple hair and wrinkled eyes.
She is only in her thirties, but she is as old as a fifty-year-old woman.
Shang Gui felt uncomfortable, his nose felt sour, and his eyes gradually became moist.
Aunt He immediately put down the pastry and said worriedly: "What's wrong with Ah Gui? Did something happen?"
"No, it's nothing, mother, eat quickly." Shang Gui touched the moist eye sockets.
"How can I eat this? If you don't say anything, Mother will be very panicked."
Aunt He held her son's hand, her eyes filled with worry.
"It's really nothing, I just feel that I'm too useless and I can't do anything well. I can't let my mother live a good life, and I can't even bear to light candles..." Shang Gui said with bitterness in his heart.
When Aunt He heard her son say this, her hanging heart relaxed. She stroked his hair amusedly, and comforted her: "What are you talking about, my Agui is the most sensible. You are working in the hospital now, don't be afraid Hard work. Follow Ah Jin to learn well, and when I become a teacher in the future, my mother will enjoy the blessings with you!"
"Well, I will work hard!" Shang Gui nodded vigorously.
Aunt He bent her smiling eyes, and the wrinkles at the end of her eyes formed layers of lines, "I am very happy now. A few days ago, your elder sister came to see me. She is pregnant, a little fatter, and her face is full of smiles. .”
"Auntie is pregnant? Why didn't I know!" Shang Gui was very surprised, he didn't hear the news at all.
"Yeah, I'm six months pregnant, with a round belly, probably a boy. Her life is getting better, and when she has a baby, Ah Qiang won't beat her anymore. The biggest wish in my life is you We have a good life, fortunately God treats me well."
As Aunt He said this, her eyes were full of happiness, she was very satisfied with her current life.Although poor, but the children are all around, safe and sound, which is not envied by many people.
"That's good, I'm relieved that my sister is doing well!" Shang Gui finally showed a faint smile.
The darkness gradually covered the sky, and countless stars shone like bright diamonds dotted beside Leng Yue.
The watchman beat the gong and ran across the streets and alleys, reminding that the third watch has arrived, so be careful of the candles.
Late at night, the dew was heavy, and the sounds of frogs and insects came from the grass on the side of the road one after another.
Under the projection of Yinhui, several figures sneaked forward along the corner of the wall.
"Brother Niu, are we really going?" The man who walked at the end deliberately lowered his voice and asked softly. Listening carefully, he could hear the anxiety and fear in his voice.
"Shh, it's all here, why are you asking this?"
"I just don't think it's a good idea..."
Brother Niu stared, puffing up his eyes like a bullfrog, "Then what are you doing here? Don't tell me you regret it now!"
"You two, what are you arguing about! Do you have to attract others to be satisfied?"
The man walking in the front turned his head, his eyes shone shrewdly under the moonlight.He said bitterly: "Da Zhu, if you don't want to go, just wait here! We will go, but we won't give you anything."
"No! Uncle Cai, I didn't say I wouldn't go, I will definitely go for my girl!" Da Zhu hurriedly explained, his voice raised a little unconsciously.
Suddenly there was a barking sound from inside the wall, and several people silenced the sound immediately, all showing panicked expressions.
"Quick, let's go!"
A few people immediately hunched over the wall and quickly turned into an alley.
"Host, wake up! It's almost one o'clock, hurry up and watch the Chiba Illusory Jade Grass bloom!"
Zhou Jin furrowed his eyebrows tightly, smacking his mouth and raving unconsciously.
"Host!"
"Hmm..." Zhou Jin slowly opened his eyelids that seemed to be glued together, feeling drowsy, and he quickly ran to meet Zhou Yue again.
"Host?"
no response.
Well, don't blame him for being ruthless!
"drop…………"
A sharp and piercing alarm sounded suddenly in Zhou Jin's mind.
"Ah! Stop it, your head is going to explode!" Zhou Jin suddenly turned over and sat up, completely awake.
"Tongtong, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, it hurts my heart too much!" Zhou Jin said tearfully, clutching his chest.
"Okay, stop acting! Hurry up and watch outside, if you miss the blooming of the Chiba Magic Jade Flower, you will apologize with death!" No. 01 complained with his hips akimbo.
Putting on his clothes, Zhou Jin walked into the yard by the moonlight.
The cool wind that belongs to the night is blowing gently, and the osmanthus tree is slowly swaying, making a slight rustling sound.The light yellow petals all over the tree are fluttering one after another, dotted with stars, like stars fluttering and dancing under the silvery moonlight.
"It's so beautiful!" Zhou Jin couldn't help sighing in a daze.
He squatted down, and saw that the flower bone during the day had turned into a large flower cell that was about to bloom, and the jade-white petals emerging from it could be faintly seen.
"Wow, it's about to bloom!" Zhou Jin stared at the buds with wide eyes without blinking.
"Slow down, slow down! Don't push so hard!"
"Dazhu, hold on, don't step on it!"
Zhou Jin: ...
"Tongtong, did you hear any sound?"
"I heard the host, there are three people outside your courtyard wall, and they are planning to come in!" No. 01 said in a firm tone.
Zhou Jin:? ?
Did he meet a thief?
Zhou Jin raised his eyes to look at the source of the sound. With his better eyesight, he saw a black head looming from the courtyard wall.
The man shrunk his head and scanned the yard carefully, then stared obsessively at the blooming osmanthus trees.He murmured softly, "Sacred Tree, I saw the Divine Tree! It's so beautiful!"
The person under his feet said with difficulty: "Dazhu, how is it? Is there anyone?"
Dazhu immediately withdrew his eyes and inspected the courtyard carefully, seeing that the room was pitch black, he whispered: "No!"
Zhou Jin squatting in the corner: ...
Isn't he human?
"The host doesn't care about them, hurry up and see the flowers, they are about to bloom!" No. 01 shouted suddenly.
Zhou Jin lowered his head hastily, and saw the flower cells burst open suddenly, like a beautiful woman waking up from a deep sleep among layers of leaves, stretching out her white jade skirt gracefully and noblely.
Layers of white jade-like petals spread out one by one, exuding radiance and crystal clear under the moonlight.
After one flower blooms, the buds behind it bloom one after another.
So beautiful!
"Host, pick it up!" No. 01 urged again and again!
The person by the wall fell down with a plop.
Zhou Jin couldn't care less about them anymore, picking flowers was the most important thing.
Seeing the color of the first blooming flower gradually dim, Zhou Jin quickly cut it off from the root of the flower.
"Take it easy, don't wake up the people in the room!"
"Sacred tree, sacred tree, I don't intend to offend you, I just want to pick up some petals you scattered on the ground, please forgive me."
Several people bowed respectfully to the osmanthus tree, and then began to lie on the ground and hold the petals in a hurry.
Zhou Jin, who was paying attention to those people while picking flowers: ...
So they came here in the middle of the night just to pick up sweet-scented osmanthus? ?
