"Huh?" Chu Chu was confused for a moment: "Little girl, you're not here to get some herbs? But you're here to ask my old man for some snow ginseng?"
"Yes," her bright eyes, like the stars in the sky, stared at the beginning of the year, Xiangsi smiled crookedly: "My medicine requires snow ginseng, the indispensable main medicine, so little girl, I am shameless.
I came here to make plans for you. I love you, little girl, you are so good!"
"Ghost Spirit, my old man thought you were taking the medicinal herb that the old man gave me to refine on my behalf, but your little girl thought it was Snow Ginseng's idea. My old man was fooled." On the first day of the new year, he stretched out his hand and pinched it.
The little face of the person in his arms was so coaxed by those words that his heart blossomed, and he willingly took out a box from the ring: "Put it away. If you lose it, it will be gone."
Fooled? Fooled for what?
"Old man, you already knew that I was interested in your snow ginseng, so you don't have to be fooled." He hugged the small jade box that floated by and entered his private treasury like a precious treasure: "That, the old man of 'medicine'
What kind of medicine could you please make on my behalf?"
"It's not your little girl's business." At the beginning of the year, he pinched that pink face again, and he couldn't put it down: "You threw away a bunch of medicine and ran away, and a portion of the medicine came to me.
.However, there are still a few copies that my old man hasn’t refined yet, so I can’t give them to you until tomorrow.”
"Brother, did the old man Yao send you here on a mission?" Xiangsi raised her eyebrows in surprise.
When she left, she left behind a lot of medicinal herbs and gave them to the old man to prepare for her future by asking the students of Changqing to help her pound them, refine them, extract the juice and peel the roots.
Alchemy.
She just asked the old medicine man to work for his own benefit and let the students from the Pharmacy Department of Changqing University help. She was a little surprised that he actually worked for the elder of the internal dean.
"Little girl, you are lucky. You have found a good master." Chu Chu looked at her with envy: "The old man, I have been tinkering with those herbs for you these days. In addition to giving one to me, the old man
Help, but no one else is allowed to touch it. For my part, I still need to do it personally. Even my disciples are not allowed to help, for fear that if I am not careful, it will affect the effect of the medicine."
'Medicine' old man!
My lovesick heart palpitated again.
"Brother, let me make tea for you to taste." The sound of boiling water sounded in time, and Acacia jumped away from the embrace of the beginning of the year.
Another set of tea sets that also appeared at the tea party appeared in the room at the beginning of the year. The best tea leaves and exquisite Chinese tea art were performed again.
She couldn't repay him for a while, so she gave her a cup of fragrant tea as a thank you.
He lowered his eyes, hiding all the gratitude in his eyes, and concentrated on making tea.
The remaining light of the setting sun shines across the sky and the earth, dyeing everything in autumn into a golden color. The sunset glow spreads across the sky layer by layer, blending with the mountains, just in time for the scene of "the setting sun melts gold, and the dusk clouds merge with the wall".
In this quiet and beautiful evening, Yao Chi's courtyard fell into unprecedented silence and tension.
In the center of the spacious courtyard, there are rows of tall stone tables arranged in a semi-circular shape. The center of the circle is facing the main house, and the circular arc corner is facing the direction of the courtyard gate. Outside the semi-circular table, there is a four-legged round table that is half a person tall.
The bronze incense burner stands quietly.
On each stone table, there are countless jade medicine bottles of different sizes erected. The big ones are as tall as an adult and as thick as a bucket. The small ones can only hold a dozen drops of medicine, which is about an adult.
As big as a big finger, the total number is at least a thousand.
The 'medicine' bottles are neatly arranged, high or low, but they are divided into areas. There is an empty space in the middle of each area. A label is placed in front of the first small area with a book about an inch high.
The sequence numbers are arranged from left to right.
Only one corner of the semicircle is left in the middle, and there are two small stone tables on the left and right, next to the high table where the medicine bottles are arranged. There are only two well-sealed jars on the table, and the space between the two small tables is empty.
, set up a chair with its back to the room.
Beside the tables and chairs in the corridor, Wu Yunya, Yuntianchang, Mulan Xiaosheng, and even the beginning of the year were all sitting upright. The four of them were sitting upright. On the other side, Mu Jing, Duanmuchi, and Duanmuye were also sitting upright.
Only the lingering fragrance of tea floated among several people.
And the drug addict in plain clothes, holding a thick booklet in his hand, walked around the table where the medicine bottles were placed, checking them over and over again, with a serious and meticulous look on his face.
The last afterglow of the setting sun was hidden on the top of the mountain, and the sky became darker little by little. Until night fell, the whole world was completely shrouded in darkness. The drug addict who had checked countless times finally retreated to the
In the corridor, there was also silence, and the four people's eyes were fixed on the lobby of the main building.
Compared to the solemnity outside the room where Acacia was, although the inside of the room was more peaceful, there was still a trace of depression that could not be concealed.
Yintong, Xuehao, Obsidian, Mo Mo, and Qingzi are sitting at the table, drinking tea with their master. Xiaobai and Tutu are lying on the table, quiet and well-behaved. Sitting next to Xiangsi is Cai.
A bright purple.
After drinking another cup of fragrant tea, and exhaling leisurely, Xiangsi stood up gently, raised her hand to touch her face, and put the flapping phoenix-shaped mask into the ring. The one she hadn't seen in nearly two years
Sunshine, the face that has been hidden, is revealed in the night for the first time.
In the pitch-black room, you can't see your fingers, but to the practitioners, there is no difference between darkness and day. When that alluring face completely falls into the eyes of the room, the surrounding air suddenly changes.
's pause.
"My lord, my little mistress..." With silver eyes and black eyes, he suddenly stood up and stared at the fiery figure on Xiangsi's forehead. The brilliance in his eyes shone brighter than the stars in the dark night.
"As you can see." Zi Ji stood up and carefully stroked the fiery red pattern with his slender fingers. The happy smile overflowing from the corner of his lips dazzled everyone's eyes.
"I'm going out. If I have something to do, I'll talk later." He waved his hand, took a purple-red satin ribbon, tied it on his forehead, and tied a knot at the back of his head to cover up the delicate graphics.
I got the snow ginseng that day, and after I returned to the courtyard of the medicinal herb, I told Wu Yunya and Mulan Xiaosheng one by one, and Acacia plunged into a lot of medicinal herbs.
After working hard day and night, with the help of Yao Ji, the beginning of the year, all the large piles of medicinal herbs were processed, and the precious medicinal materials that Hanadao sent after she left have already been processed by Yao
'Zhi refined it according to the requirements and tinkered with it.
After experiencing countless practices, explorations, and refining various top-quality holy medicines countless times, and successfully refining the medicine that can help heaven-level cultivators break through to the master level,
Xiangsi finally decided to start refining the magic elixir to repair Dantian.
What she wants is not necessarily a magical elixir, but as long as it can meet the conditions of a holy elixir, it will not explode or be scrapped, and it is enough to cure Mu Hui. If she succeeds in making the elixir, the mainland will add several more kings.
It is now late October, half a month has passed since Acacia returned to Changqing.
When she decided to officially start work, she was not nervous, but Yao Chi and others were nervous. They were still extremely nervous. They chose the best day for her, prepared all the utensils for her, and all came to protect the law.
As a master of a single line, Yao Chi did his duty and rushed her disciple to the room to recuperate his energy. However, he took care of all the preparation work himself, from morning to evening, according to the schedule.
Arrange all the medicine bottles in the order in which they should be used, and check and check again and again until everything is correct.
After tying the purple ribbon, Xiangsi took a deep breath and walked towards the courtyard outside the house. Zi Ji led Yin Tong, Xue Hao, Obsidian, Mo Mo and Qing Zi, two cute little beasts who kept similar shapes, and
Xiangsi left the room side by side, crossed the hall, and stepped out.
The black eyes are faint, calm as water, silent as night; the handsome face with snowy skin and jade skin is like a dream, and the light and windy figure steps out of the hall door. The eyes of the people outside the corridor instantly enlarge, and they stare blankly.
I forgot to breathe.
His eyes wandered over each person's body, and he raised his lips in acacia, revealing a grateful smile. The two pear dimples on his fragrant cheeks opened up the dazzling patterns. For a moment, he stared at them drunkenly like wine.
A bunch of people with that face.
With a "yin" and "yin" smile, she walked down the steps, walked around the stone table, and stood in front of the sacrificial incense burner. When her feet touched the stone pavement in the small courtyard, she woke up from her daze.
People jumped up from the corridor and shot to all parts of the courtyard like arrows, bringing the middle part into the best protection range.
Yin Tong, Xue Hao, Obsidian and other beasts all flashed into the darkness at the same time. Only Zi Ji walked all the way to the courtyard and entered the semi-circle first.
Standing in front of the incense burner, Xiangsi took out a bunch of seven incense sticks from the ring and waved his hand. A few meteors flashed in the darkness. Hellfire, the same color as the night, lit the incense. The flame on the tip of the incense flickered.
Twinkle, like a blinking star.
Respecting heaven, respecting earth, and respecting the founder of medicine, clasping hands, and after three bows, insert the incense stick into the incense burner, and the clear smoke curls up, and the faint fragrance spreads throughout the courtyard.
Turning around, walking around the table and stepping into the ring, Xiangsi did not start immediately. Instead, he sat directly on the chair and closed his eyes.
Refining 'medicine' also pays attention to the heaven, earth and human beings. It goes beyond the 'medicine' above the holy level. It is even more important. Refining the person itself requires even more peace of mind.
Heaven and earth have spirits, people have spirits, medicine furnaces also have spirits, and everything has spirits. Medicine idiots choose the place where medicine is made in a small courtyard instead of a medicine room for the sake of convenience.
It is the strong nature of being close to all things, integrating with heaven and earth, resolving violent anger, and calming the spirits of plants and trees.
There is no moon on the autumn night in the second half of the month. Only a few stars are hidden in the sky. Occasionally, starlight will shine through. The night wind rustles, blowing through the grass and trees in the courtyard over and over again. Time passes bit by bit, and the first half of the night passes.
In the second half of the night, Xiangsi, who was sitting quietly, still kept her eyes closed and asleep.
Unknowingly, moisture slowly spread across the earth, the last starlight in the night faded away, and the heaven and earth suddenly returned to the silence and mist of nothingness.
The darkness before dawn is coming.
Suddenly, Xiangsi opened her tightly closed eyes, and her scorching eyes were like morning stars, dotted in the dark night. Her little body jumped up and stood on the chair, waving her hands repeatedly, one by one.
The boxes appeared in the air one after another, and landed on the two small tables one after another.
A bit of purple-red color, like a meteor streaking across the sky, swayed in the air. After a "ding" sound, the Hanyan purple jade round cauldron, which was ten feet high, stood firmly on the ground with three legs.
In an instant, the eyes of the surrounding guardians turned into lanterns.
Xiangsi raised her hand and waved, and the sealed jar on the high table floated into her arms. She reached out and patted open the mud seal. The clear, rootless water poured into the cauldron with a "swish" sound. When it was a quarter deep, the water jar returned.
Bit.
A jade box flew over the cauldron. As soon as the box was opened, a green fruit floated in the air. In the wisps of wind, the Seven Hundred Years of Reincarnation Spirit Fruit was divided into four pieces and fell gently.
The sweet and rich fragrance of the rootless water in the cauldron filled the entire courtyard.
Xiangsi raised her left hand, and a wisp of white flame flashed out from the darkness and fell into the mouth of the medicine stove. As soon as it touched the air, it jumped up and filled the air in a moment.
It filled up the entire space of the stove and illuminated half of the yard. The surrounding temperature instantly increased, making it feel scorching even from a few feet away.
In less than two breaths, the medicine furnace turned red, and the color was so deep that it turned purple to black. A fine white mist rose from the rootless water in the cauldron. After a while, the water splashed "gurgling"
