Chapter 1 Qin Xianyu
The rising sun is rising.
On the treetops, a white-headed and green-body sings and jumps, shuttles between the green leaves. This bird is full of green feathers and has white hair on its head. It is called a celestialis. It is very rare, and it is very spiritual, understands people's wishes and makes people's hearts clear.
In the ruined Taoist temple, a pretty Taoist priest chuckled and waved his hand. The bird spread its wings and flew over and landed on the Taoist priest's hand.
This young man with a pure appearance was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Looking at him, he had a clear eyebrows and a little literary style, but he did not look weak.
The young Taoist priest was named Qin Xianyu, and he was the only disciple of this Taoist temple and the master of the temple.
The Qin family is a medical family, and has been a doctor for generations and has a high reputation. Qin's father is busy curing diseases and saving lives, and has no time to teach Qin Xianyu's medical skills and medicine debate skills. Fortunately, the old master of this nameless Taoist temple is quite versed in medical principles and was a good friend of the old master Qin, so Qin's father entrusted his young son to the old master.
Qin Xianyu followed Lao Guan for several years. Lao Guan taught him how to identify drugs, teach him medicine and medicine, and prescribe good prescriptions for curing diseases. Occasionally, if you have time, you ask Qin Xianyu to recite Taoist classics and watch Taoist sects. In the end, Qin Xianyu studied Taoist classics so deeply that he was not inferior to medical classics.
According to the old Guanzhu, medical books and Taoist books have similarities in certain places, such as the theory of meridian acupoints, similar vocabulary in books, etc., observing Taoist books actually has the effect of learning medicine to understand the same.
Two years ago, Qin's father and mother both suffered from a serious illness and died on the same day. The old Guanzhu also contracted the same disease and passed away soon after.
The Qin family, the three generations of medical families who practiced medicine, have since fallen into a huge reputation, especially the Qin divine doctor who died of illness. The word "miracle doctor" has become an excuse for many jealous doctors or people who are not in harmony with the Qin family to criticize them.
Qin Xianyu is still young, and no one believes in the Qin family's medical skills anymore, and he doesn't believe in this young boy. The Qin family's medicine hall has been occupied by relatives, so he can only join the celestialis bird given to him by his mother.
Fortunately, this bird is very happy and knows people's words, so Qin Xianyu's life is not boring. With his ability to defend medicine, this young man's life is quite leisurely. Sometimes he just dug up a medicinal material and exchanged it for silver and money, so he can keep food and clothing for several days without worrying about it.
Just so happens, today is another day when food is out of stock.
Qin Xianyu carried a small medicine cage, placed the medicine hoe outside the door, turned around and closed the door, then bent down and picked up the medicine hoe, and headed into the woods south of the Taoist temple. The young Taoist priest waved slightly, and the celestialis that had just flew back to the tree and sang softly and flew to stand on his shoulder.
When it was approaching Yinghuang Mountain, a bit of solemn expression appeared in Qin Xianyu's eyes. He raised his hand and said softly: "Go, if there is anything, I'll send me a message immediately."
The cyclaki gently touched his neck, then roared and flew into the sky.
Yinghuang Mountain is a big mountain with dense grass and trees deep in the mountains and few people. There are also many ferocious birds and beasts. Even hunters dare to hunt outside and not go deeper. The Taoist temple where Qin Xianyu lives is at the foot of Yinghuang Mountain.
The young Taoist priest inhale gently, feeling that the air in the mountains is fresh and his mood is immediately clear and bright.
He carried the medicine hoe and walked forward. Almost all the medicinal materials nearby were dug up, and he had to walk forward a little further. However, there were many beasts in the deep mountains, so he did not dare to step on foot easily, so he circled around the mountain to collect herbs.
Although it is on the periphery, it may not be safe. Although those ferocious birds and beasts are only in the mountains and rarely come out, there are exceptions. For example, a year ago, there was an eagle, half a man was tall, almost taking away the celestialis, but not the celestialis, so they saw Qin Xianyu and almost captured the young Taoist priest.
Sometimes, there will be pigs coming out to sway. These pigs are not as fierce as domestic pigs, and they are also very fierce.
"I picked four silver dollar grass last time, which can cure rheumatism and is very effective. Each plant costs about seventy silver coins. But I just collected herbs, did not open a store, and could not sell medicine. And I didn't believe me, a young man, sold it to the city pharmacy, and only got ten silver coins per plant." Qin Xianyu said in his heart: "The four silver dollar grasses have a total of forty silver coins, bought half a bag of rice, and ate it for more than ten days. But I remember that there are two Mo Guang grasses seventy steps behind the silver dollar grass."
"Ink grass can cure external trauma and make trauma medicine. I think the price will be higher. If you sell it in an ordinary pharmacy, you can sell ninety silver coins per plant. But if you sell it from me, you can buy about twelve or thirteen silver coins per plant."
The old Taoist priest gave him the rule that he must keep his roots when collecting medicine, and he will not be greedy for getting medicine.
It takes years and months for medicinal materials to grow. If one plant is picked, one plant will be missing. If the roots are damaged, the seeds of medicine will be broken. If the rhizomes are left, they will germinate and grow in the future. Don’t be greedy for medicine, as long as it is enough, greed is useless.
Qin Xianyu's family also opened a pharmacy. Every time he collects herbs, he can estimate the approximately selling price. He realized that it was enough, so he stopped.
The ink grass is as dark as ink, growing under a tree, not very conspicuous, and is often mistaken for debris. As long as it is ground into powder and sprinkled on the wound, it can stop bleeding. It is somewhat similar to the method of ordinary people using incense ash and charcoal ash to stop bleeding, but the ink grass is obviously more beneficial and can speed up the wound healing.
"It's blooming?" Qin Xianyu approached there and saw the ink grass blooming. He was very happy and said to himself: "In just a few days, it actually bloomed. If more than ten days later, these flowers will fall to the ground and become seeds, take root and sprout. After more than a year, there will be six or seven ink grasses."
He bypassed these two ink grasses and was quite fortunate that he did not dig out the ink grass last time.
Qin Xianyu walked to another place and found more than twenty medicinal herbs, although they were only worth a few silver dollars, but they were quite large. This type of medicine is very common and is generally affordable for poor families in pharmacies.
When he came to the front of these medicinal materials, Qin Xianyu squatted down and used a small medicine hoe to dig out the surrounding soil. When it was almost done, in order to prevent the medicine hoe from hurting the roots, he put down the medicine hoe and used his hands to clear the soil.
He gently pulled out the medicine, but broke the roots and put them in shallow pits, then buried the soil.
"This medicine is more common and grows fast. This half of the root can sprout and break through the soil in about half a month."
Qin Xianyu dug over one by one. After digging all the more than 20 herbs, he thought about digging out another type of medicinal herbs. He walked a few steps forward and was suddenly stunned. He saw a green vine under the tree not far away, climbing up the tree body.
He had never seen the Qing Teng, but he had heard of it.
Qin Xianyu learned medical theory and identified medicinal materials from an old Taoist since childhood, but his father rarely taught him. He still remembered that the first time he taught him to recognize medicine, the green vine painted in medical books was this green vine.
The green vine is called Shengxiancao, a poisonous substance.
A Taoist priest once used it to refine elixirs, and after taking it, the poison immediately ejaculated. The descendants were extremely sad and believed that the Taoist priest had ascended after death, so they were called the Ascension Grass, which means that after taking it, they could ascend to the immortals and leave. In fact, it was a very poisonous one.
As for the detoxification thing, it is in the tree body and the moss surrounding the green vines.
Qin Xianyu took a look, silent, and felt a little depressed. After a long time, he walked to the other side.
This young Taoist priest knows how to debate medicine and often makes a living by collecting herbs. He watches medical books, Taoist books, and especially stories of immortals in his spare time. He is even more obsessed with it. His mind is quiet and plain, and he does not have much ambitions. If there are any regrets in his heart, it is probably the disease of his parents and master.
The disease has never been recorded in medical skills. Even though I read all medical books and borrowed books from others, I could not find any records of such disease. Qin Xianyu sometimes wondered if it was really an unknown disease, but why only three elders in his family were infected.
Although the young Taoist priest was unwilling to think about it, those thoughts could not help but pass through his mind.
Poisoning?
But who poisoned it? What poison was it?
Even if you know who poisoned it, what's the use?
I am just a teenager, without power and connections, how can I check it? Even if I found out, I didn’t know martial arts and didn’t know martial arts. How can I take revenge?
This pretty boy had no idea and had no idea how to start, so he had to keep these thoughts in his heart.
On weekdays, I collect herbs to make a living. When I read books, the boy forced himself to suppress other ideas, and lived a leisurely life. I only occasionally think of the marriage contract in my spare time.
Since his parents passed away, Qin Xianyu has never seen anyone in the other person's house, and he has never taken it to heart, because he has never seen that woman since he was a child. He didn't know how she was born, she was not beautiful or ugly, she didn't know whether she was round or flat.
I just vaguely remember that the other party’s surname was Shangguan.
Qin Xianyu had long regarded the marriage contract in his hand as nothing. If the other party didn't come, he would give up. If he came, he would destroy the marriage certificate in person. Don't let the other party be bound by a marriage contract.
After the engagement was terminated, everyone was happy.
Qin Xianyu chuckled softly.
After laughing out loud, Qin Xianyu realized that he had been walking for a long time and had unknowingly reached an area he had never walked before. Fortunately, he could see some traps and marks left by hunters outside Yinghuang Mountain. Although he no longer recognized the road, he was not afraid of having a cyclaki there.
Qin Xianyu found that there was a medicinal material ahead, which was probably equal to silver dollar grass. He was slightly happy. He went forward to dig out the medicinal material and buried the soil back. He thought that what he had earned today was almost the same, so he wanted to go back. With a move, the celestialis circling in the sky roared and flew down happily.
Suddenly, the celestial bird cried out loudly.
Qin Xianyu was shocked and saw the white-headed and green-body shaking in the air and then falling down.
Although it was not clear, Qin Xianyu could know that the cyclamen was clearly shot down by a stone.
He was shocked and hurriedly chased the place where the cyclamen fell.
As soon as I took a step, I felt a pain behind my back.
Qin Xianyu pounced forward and fell to the ground.
He was about to get up.
The foot that had just kicked him down stepped on him and stepped on him to the ground.
I heard a arrogant voice saying, "There are you collecting herbs?"
The voice also seemed young, only twenty years old.
Qin Xianyu thought so, and there was a clear light in front of him, resting on his neck.
That's the sword.
Qin Xianyu held his breath slightly.
"You know how to boil medicine and master the heat?"
The arrogant voice said slowly.
Qin Xianyu frowned slightly, and his back became more and more painful.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the man hummed. The sword edge approached his neck and drew a thin mark, and blood dripped down the sword edge.
Qin Xianyu nodded slightly, but he paused, took a deep breath, and asked, "How is my cypress?"
"Under the stones I made with my hidden weapon, I will definitely die."
The man said lightly and waved his hand into the woods.
Four or five young men wearing luxurious clothes and swords around their waists walked out of the woods.
"Get up and refine medicine."
The man moved the sword away from Qin Xianyu's neck.
Qin Xianyu could see that his face reflected on the clear sword tip as clear as water.
It reflects a pair of dark pupils.
It also reflects the chill that flashed through my eyes just now.
The young Taoist priest gritted his teeth gently.
