Chapter 132 Planting beans at the foot of Nanshan Mountain
Wang Ye and Xu Ruoyun searched in front of the cabin, but did not see Mr. Long.
Except for the gurgling sound of the stream and the chirping of insects and birds around them, they could not hear any other sounds. This made Wang Ye and Xu Ruoyun feel a little strange. Didn't Ling Yunzi already contact them for them?
Why, I still can’t see Mr. Long?
Could it be that Mr. Long doesn’t want to see them?
"Isn't Mr. Long here?" Xu Ruoyun asked softly.
"It seems so. It's possible that the old man doesn't want to see us." Wang Ye sighed.
Wang Ye knew that such an expert usually did not meet others easily.
Perhaps, before Wang Ye and Xu Ruoyun appeared, Mr. Long already knew that they would come.
"No way, Mr. Long has already promised his master that he should meet us." Xu Ruoyun was unwilling to give in.
She had agreed with Wang Ye that she would bring Wang Ye over to meet some experts.
If she couldn't see him, she would feel guilty towards Wang Ye.
But Wang Ye didn't care much about this matter. Since Mr. Long didn't want to see him, he naturally wouldn't force it.
But at this time, Wang Ye's eyes caught sight of some medicinal herbs behind the cabin.
Wang Ye had seen those herbs before in the herbs grown by his master.
Moreover, judging from the planting layout and growth conditions, the herbs here are very similar to those grown by Master.
So, Wang Ye walked over and squatted down to take a closer look.
Seeing Wang Ye's interest in those herbs, Xu Ruoyun stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Wang, what did you find?"
"These kinds of medicinal herbs don't seem to be very suitable for living in such a place. But they can survive so well, which shows that Mr. Long's medical skills are very high!" Wang Ye replied.
Although the medicinal herbs here are similar to those grown by Master, the terrain and climate here are completely different from where Master lives.
There must be some special method to make these herbs grow so well.
But in Xu Ruoyun's opinion, there is nothing special about these herbs.
And the most important thing now is that they have to find a way to see Mr. Long!
"Grow beans at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. My friend, what are you interested in these herbs?"
At this moment, a somewhat mysterious voice sounded from behind Wang Ye and Xu Ruoyun.
This voice is rich and full of vicissitudes of life.
When they looked back, they saw an old man wearing a green shirt walking slowly.
Looking at his fluttering white beard, he feels like an immortal.
Wang Ye knew that this should be Mr. Long.
"Mr. Long, late-born Wang Ye, I'm sorry to bother you." Wang Ye immediately bowed his hands and saluted.
"Mr. Long." Xu Ruoyun also greeted him.
Mr. Long nodded slightly and looked Wang Ye up and down.
Then he said: "No wonder Ling Yunzi said that an expert came here. Judging from the momentum of my little friend, it turned out to be an expert."
"Mr. Long, you deserve the award. I'm just a junior who knows a little bit about medical skills!" Wang Ye responded.
Know something about medicine?
Elder Long didn't believe it at all.
Anyone who can spot the few herbs in his backyard at a glance is definitely an expert.
Ordinary people would just regard those herbs as weeds and wouldn't give them a second glance.
"Little friend, you just looked carefully at these herbs. What do you think?" Mr. Long asked seriously.
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment when he was asked this question.
He actually didn't understand these herbs, he just saw his master growing them.
"Mr. Long, I actually don't understand. Although I have seen these herbs, they are just some weeds that grew up when my master was planting beans. I heard from my master that they seem to be of some value." Wang Ye answered truthfully.
.
Master has said that under certain circumstances, when you plant bean sprouts, those medicinal herbs will grow.
Weed?
Hearing these two words, Mr. Long looked a little unhappy.
He had lived in seclusion in the mountains for more than ten years for these few medicinal herbs!
This top-quality medicinal material that grows with bean sprouts requires an extremely harsh growth environment.
Moreover, it also needs careful care and careful watering. Only in this way can the beans grown be bathed in the essence of concentrated medicinal materials and become top-notch self-cultivation products.
But it is actually understandable for an expert like Wang Ye to regard them as weeds.
After all, the essence of those medicinal herbs is indeed weeds. They cannot be used directly as medicine, and in the end they only serve those few bean sprouts.
"Young friend Wang Ye, you are indeed very knowledgeable! However, I do have a question. I wonder if you can answer it?" Mr. Long asked next.
Still have questions?
Wang Ye felt a little depressed.
Why do these experts like to test themselves so much?
I don’t know anything, so it’s really hard to deal with them.
But Mr. Long said so, so Wang Ye could only do it.
"Mr. Long, please speak." Wang Ye said respectfully.
"I have always taken good care of these bean plants that I planted, so why in the end could they not reach their optimal state?" Mr. Long asked.
Wang Ye listened and thought about it in his mind.
Does growing beans require such careful care?
When the master was planting beans, he almost didn’t care!
Apart from occasional watering and fertilizing, the weeds are not even cleaned.
"Mr. Long, are you too careful?" Wang Ye asked.
Too careful?
After hearing this, Mr. Long began to think deeply.
This bean grown is the most advanced thing for self-cultivation! Can you not be careful?
The site selection for planting, the water source for irrigation, and the selection of surrounding herbs all require careful study.
Could it be said that the more this happens, the worse it is?
After pondering for a while, Mr. Long suddenly felt like he was enlightened.
What Wang Ye said should be based on the principle that Tao follows nature!
This natural thing, being so careful, actually makes it lose its most natural and authentic state.
The more it is in this state, the less effective it will be.
No wonder I haven't grown any truly useful beans in the past ten years.
It's my own heart that's too persistent, unable to follow nature and allow these bean sprouts to absorb the most natural spiritual energy.
"Thank you, little friend, thank you very much, little friend! What you said really made me suddenly enlightened. I have been living in seclusion here for more than ten years, but I still can't be as clear as you in one sentence. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!" Mr. Long said excitedly.
Xu Ruoyun was not surprised when she saw Mr. Long like this from the side. Although she didn't know what the conversation between Wang Ye and Mr. Long actually expressed.
But she understood that as long as Wang Ye opened his mouth, the master would be able to understand. This was the case with his previous master Liang Qiancheng and his master Ling Yunzi.
Wang Ye himself was not surprised. He just didn't understand why these old people were like this.
"Mr. Long, actually I came here today because I have something and I want to ask Mr. Long for help!"
