Volume 1: Ling Yuan's Old Stories, New Strategies, Chapter 103: Distinctions and Distinctions(1/2)

Faced with Yi Xian's generosity, Mr. Wang and Mr. Li felt embarrassed.

"You can't help it. I and Old Li Tou were confused at that time. How can we make more mistakes now?" Mr. Wang immediately stood up and refused, saying resolutely, "Little monk, please don't mention this again, otherwise I will

How should I place my old face?"

While Mr. Wang was chattering, Liu Yi slowly walked in from the gate of Gangzi.

Liu Yi's thick eyebrows stretched, his bright eyes shone, and he calmly and calmly gave a junior salute to the two old people, and said slowly and leisurely, "The sun and the moon accompany each other, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Two seniors, maybe the life in Chisong County is not as good as

I thought it was so miserable. It’s just that I didn’t discover the gift of nature.”

There was a sudden silence in the field, and everyone had different expressions, but most of them expressed hope. They expected Liu Yi to bring them a surprise in life, even if it was just for a moment. It was enough!

Learning is like a crossbow, talent is like an arrowhead!

If he could make a living for the people of the barren Chisong County today, Liu Yi would not have read the Expo after so many years!

Liu Yi walked to the stone bench and whispered, "A few years ago, my father dictated to me an ancient and strange book called "The Wilderness Secret Scroll". This book, like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, records ancient and strange mountains.

The book contains strange seas, strange flowers and fruits, strange people and strange things. If I remember correctly, there is an anecdote in the book that may help the people of Chisong to alleviate the pain of poverty, and at least be able to exchange for food, clothing and clothing."

"Oh? Yi'er, tell me quickly, if this is really the case, you have made a great contribution!" Dongfang Chunsheng couldn't wait, and hurriedly took Liu Yi to his side, eager and excited.

Ever since Mr. Dongfang led a group of people north from the Lingyuan Mountains, he has been worried and has never been so excited.

Liu Yi didn't go around and put on airs. The young man spread his hands and placed a stone and a piece of grass on the table. "You two gentlemen, do you know these two things?"

Mr. Wang's mind was quick, and he immediately sensed something unusual, and immediately replied, "Isn't this bell arrow grass and purple quartz? The whole plant of this grass is poisonous. If you eat it, you will die. This stone is extremely hard and brittle."

, can’t even be used to build a house, they are all useless. Although they are rare in our territory of Chisong County, they are not difficult to find. Could it be that there is a mystery in it? "

Liu Yi smiled slyly and said, "Grandpa Wang is right, but everything has its disadvantages but also its advantages. It seems that the ancient Emperor Yu not only left sacred beasts and gods for the Beiku people, but also left sacred grass and sacred stones.

"The Secret Scroll of the Wilderness" once recorded that within two hundred miles north of the ancient Nie Er Kingdom, there was a stone and a grass. Based on the shape, color and state, I judged that it must be the bell arrow grass and purple quartz."

Uncle Li came closer and asked, "These two things are the most common in Chisong County. Is there any mystery behind them?"

Liu Yi gently picked up the Bell Arrow Grass and said, "Whether the toxicity of Bell Arrow Grass is related to the blood of Xiang Liu, I don't know. But I know that this thing often grows in a half-yin and half-yang place, and it is extremely poisonous when it is alive.

, but the whole plant is harvested in midsummer, removed from the mud, dried in the sun, and mixed with rice wine and eaten. It has the effects of warming yang and diluting water, activating blood circulation and dispelling wind. It is a kind of medicinal herb that can cure diseases!"

Liu Yi swallowed his saliva and continued, "Secondly, Bell Arrow Grass is something that the Dao Sect and Jianghu Danding Sect are eagerly seeking, because this Bell Arrow Grass can be used in elixirs, and it is the nine-turn magic medicine to extend life."

A must-have introduction to the Resurrection Pill. I once saw this product at the Shuiheguan Trail at the Changwu Market. One foot of grass cost ten baht per plant. I worked in Wangbei Tower and it only cost twenty baht a month.

, that is to say, you can sell two bell arrow plants in a month, which is equivalent to the monthly income of a clerk."

Everyone looked at this bell-arrow plant that everyone was afraid of before today, and looked a little incredulous.

Liu Yi didn't give everyone time to ask questions. He put down the bell arrow grass, picked up the amethyst quartz, and said again, "As for this stone, Mijuan Zeng recorded that amethyst quartz is light purple in color, crystal clear in quality, and has five edges in size."

, the two ends are like arrowheads, boil water and drink it, it is warm and non-toxic. The book "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" has also recorded that amethyst can control the cough of the heart and stomach, counteract the evil qi, and make up for the deficiency."

Hearing that a piece of broken stone had such an effect, everyone's eyes shone with surprise and surprise, as if with this piece of stone, they could make a fortune and live without worries.

Liu Yi couldn't bear to interrupt everyone's admiration. He deliberately paused for a moment and then said, "However, this product cannot be commonly used. If it is taken for a long time, it will cause great damage to the mind, heart and kidneys. Moreover, substitutes can be found, so,

Amethyst was originally not very valuable."

Hearing this, everyone was a little discouraged.

Liu Yi quietly looked at Dongfang Chunsheng and saw that his face was expressionless. He hesitated for a moment, and after regaining his composure, he continued, "But in recent years, amethyst has been in short supply, because there is a man named Wu Shi.

The powdered medicine was popular among the upper class of celebrities. Its prescription was first introduced by the Han people, and was first taken by He Yan from the Wei Dynasty. Its medicinal properties are to nourish the kidneys, strengthen yang, strengthen sperm and treat impotence. It was originally a good medicine. After Yan's death, the number of people who took it increased.

I kept trying. However, the medicine was poisonous. The five stone powder had extremely strong pharmacological effects. Countless people died after overdosing it. I met a good friend in Zhangwu County named Gongsun Haojin.

His parents died after consuming an overdose of Wushi Powder. The users knew this, but they still continued to do so, just because after eating it, they could temporarily become cheerful and have stronger physical strength. Therefore, in recent years, the price of Wushi Powder has remained high.

, Amethyst is a necessary material for making Five Stone Powder, and the price of this high-quality Amethyst has naturally increased."

Everyone was happy, but Uncle Li was half-convinced and tentatively asked, "My friend, is this true?"

Liu Yi maintained his sincerity and said, "In front of many seniors, the juniors dare not lie. Yes or no, Grandpa Li can immediately order someone to collect some one-foot-high bell arrow grass, dry it and go to the market in Zhangwu County."

If you try it, you will know that although there are not many grasses in one foot, there are also not a few. The people of Chisong County regard this grass as a common food and have long been accustomed to it. In addition, not many people know about the ancient relics, and no one has known it for thousands of years.

It is normal to know it well, but for those who like elixirs, this herb is like a tiger's wings, and it is rare."

Dongfang Chunsheng said with emotion, "Perhaps it is these poor mountains and rivers that allow the bell arrow grass to grow vigorously!"

Liu Yi frowned and did not mention amethyst again. Instead, he whispered, "It's just that everyone in the world is interested in profit and gain. Once the bell arrow grass growing in Chisong County is known to everyone in the world, I am afraid that in the future,

Chisong County is going to have a lot of trouble with these two things!"

Uncle Li and Mr. Wang looked at each other, and the two old men nodded to each other, stood up together, leaned over and cupped their hands, and said in unison, "Don't talk about the truth or falsehood, my dear friend, I am kind to you, old and young, Longgang, and I will never forget it."

.If the children in our villages can eat meat in the future, the two of us will tie a grass ring and set up a monument and biography for the children in Houlonggang. As for what happens next and the people who come after, let it take its course.

!”

Uncle Li winked at the old and young people behind him, and everyone cupped their hands and said: Thank you Mr. Liu!

Liu Yi smiled and said that he had done a good thing today.

That night, everyone made porridge with salted fish, boiled wild vegetables with water, made a bonfire with tattered shirts, indulged in the corners of the country, and expressed their hearts freely. Although there was no good wine or meat, this scene appeared in the lonely wilderness, but it had a unique flavor.

The one-foot-tall bell arrow plants were hard to find. They only grew between the strange rocks in the half-yin and half-yang mountains. On the second day, Beihai took a few teenagers from the post to search for a whole day before they managed to find seven plants.

I found a bunch of baskets of bell arrow plants and amethyst quartz that met the requirements, but most of them had miscellaneous stones and a light luster, so I guess I couldn't buy them for a lot of money.

On the first day of the eighth lunar month in the Chinese calendar, Xia speaks calmly, and the mountain seals the heart stone.

Three old men, Dongfang Chunsheng, Uncle Li and Mr. Wang, were sitting and talking. They seemed serious and serious, but they were talking about unknown secrets of the boudoir and dirty jokes. It seemed that they were really getting older and stronger.

On the other side, a group of half-grown children were running happily in the post with Yi Xian's two big yellow dogs. The dogs were running happily, and the children were also running happily. I don't know if it was the dogs playing with people or people playing with the dogs.

Recently, Liu Yi became obsessed with a book "The Strange Strategy of Hundred Schools" that was in Mr. Wang's room. The author is unknown and the time of writing is unknown. It talks about the strange people and strange things of hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin and Warring States periods. This book fascinated the young man.

He didn't see anyone all day long, except for sleeping, so he hid in the house and read. Seeing that he liked it, Wang Erye gave this book "A Hundred Schools of Thoughts" to Liu Yi, which made Liu Yi ecstatic and happy for a long time.

There are no more rhubarbs and two yellows. Yixian, accompanied by the red-feathered golden eagle, is always sitting three feet away from the corner, muttering that he wants to use this good place to practice the Dharma of the "Tao Xing Prajna Sutra", but every time

Dongfang Yu went to find him, but the little man always fell asleep soundly and talked in his sleep.

Since Dongfang Yu's brother Yi didn't have time to accompany her, how could his playful temperament be free? So, she found a small river mixed with mud and sand, and she and the peasant woman on the hill pulled up the big net and counted them.

A small number of big fish, small fish and shrimps were all brought back to Houlonggang.

At noon, a few old men were lazily basking in the summer heat. A shout of "Second Master, Master, I'm back" broke the peaceful lunch break. Everyone got up in a hurry, and even Liu Yi ran out from the corner.

People No. 10 rushed to the door of Xiaogang, looking forward to it.

As far as the naked eye can see, the young man named Bei Hai, with tattered clothes and unkempt hair, holding a chicken in each hand, bulging in his arms, but still walking as fast as flying, running towards this side excitedly.

Seeing this, Dongfang Chunsheng put his hands on his hands and laughed, "It seems like good things are coming!"

Uncle Li and Mr. Wang rubbed their hands anxiously, and everyone was worried. As they approached, Beihai knelt down in front of Uncle Li and Mr. Wang before he could stand still. The young man suddenly had a runny nose.

With a handful of tears, he took out something wrapped in rags from his arms, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, second master, seven bell arrow plants were sold for seventy-seven dollars, and that basket of amethyst quartz, people from Liaoxi said

The texture was impure, so I gave it to forty plants, and I spent twenty of them to buy two chickens for everyone to eat, and the rest are all here."

Bei Hai was sweating profusely, and his old shoes were stained red. It seemed that he had worn out his toes, but he could not hide the excitement on his face. He was holding coins and his eyes were full of stars. Before anyone could ask questions, Bei Hai said again in a naive voice, "Uncle

, Erye, they asked me where I picked the bell arrow grass, but I didn’t tell them. They tried to follow me, but I got rid of them. Hehe!"

Uncle Li's nose twitched and his eyes sparkled, but he burst into laughter in the end. Everyone couldn't help themselves and laughed heartily. This smile revealed the poverty of several generations.

Dongfang Chunsheng looked at Liu Yi who was also laughing with his peripheral vision and nodded slightly.

My child! There is never a book you read in vain. Every page counts!

"History of the Han Dynasty" records: In the year of Guiqiu in 341 AD, the young sage Liu Yi looked back on the present and recalled the past, learned about the past and knew the future, and did things that benefited the people. He alleviated the famine in the area and caused the people to gather in department stores. From then on, the thick dragon became more and more prosperous.

When everyone was rejoicing, the red-feathered golden eagle flew from Yanan, and the little one landed quietly on Dongfang Chunsheng's shoulder, without disturbing the cheerful atmosphere.

Dongfang Chunsheng touched the golden eagle gently and took out the small yellow paper. It was just six words, but it made Dongfang Chunsheng extremely excited.

The medicine has arrived, and it’s time to return it! ——Liu Quansheng

.....

According to Dongfang Chunsheng's original intention, he originally planned to take the children to continue traveling north to see the magnificent scenery of the Tianchi Lake. However, after receiving Liu Quansheng's letter, the old man politely rejected Li and Wang's proposal to stay in Houlonggang temporarily the next day.

With the invitation of the day, he immediately changed his itinerary and took the three young men with him, heading southwest to Zhangwu and embarked on his return journey.

Before departure, Yi Xian secretly found Dongfang Chunsheng to say goodbye. He said, "Since I have been ordered by my teacher to preach in the north, I cannot return halfway. If I have not reached the northern border, I will not have experienced this. It is really against the law to return in such a hurry."

The master's words of advice: 'I don't ask for temples to be built in Kyushu or tree pagodas for the Five Mountains, but I want the Buddha's finger on Cangshan Mountain to bring good autumn to the world.'"

Dongfang Chunsheng laughed loudly and pulled Yixian to the mountainside. The two of them listened to the breeze. Mr. Dongfang told a story to Yixian, "Once upon a time, a monk went up the mountain to cut firewood and came back. On the way down the mountain, he found a young man hunting.

He saw a butterfly in his hand. The boy saw the monk and said, "Monk, how about we make a bet?" The monk asked, "How to bet?" The boy said, "Do you think the butterfly in my hand is dead or alive?"

If you said it wrong, your load of firewood will be mine." The monk agreed and guessed, "The butterfly on your hand is dead." The young man laughed and said, "You said it wrong." So, the young man

He opened his hand and the butterfly flew away from his hand. The monk said, 'Okay! This load of firewood is yours.' After saying that, the monk put down the firewood and left happily."

Yi Xian murmured, "The young monk understands, but he doesn't understand a little."

Dongfang Chunsheng rubbed his round little head lovingly and said with a smile, "When you understand, you will become a world-famous master!"

Yi Xian performed a Buddhist salute and asked tentatively, "Then, has the young monk left?"
