Chapter 10 The Moon Creek Fog Covers the Mountains

"Master, look, look, I've brought you something good."

As soon as he returned to the medicine house in the evening, Zheng Qiu eagerly took out the porcelain bottle and ran into the kitchen to find the master.

"Hey, my dear apprentice, let me see what you brought."

When he opened the bottle and took a look, the master's face immediately became serious: "Zheng Qiu, where did this pill come from?"

"Master, please don't get me wrong. I went to the elixir room and begged Brother Mo to practice it for me."

"Refined?"

"Well, I took the medicinal materials and asked Brother Mo to make the elixir."

"Where did you get the medicinal materials? From the medicine garden?"

"No, no, master, you taught me how to find medicine. I found the seeds on the mountain and planted them by the river. When they were ripe, I took them to the alchemy room and asked Brother Mo to make the elixir."

"So the master really misunderstood." The master poured out a pill into his hand. The pill was round and earthy in color. "Good disciple, what kind of pill is this?"

"Brother said this is called Qi Yi Dan. It can strengthen your body if you take it, but you have to dissolve it in water and eat it."

Zheng Qiu brought a porcelain bowl, filled it with water and pushed it in front of the master, "Master, please try it quickly, the effect will definitely be very good."

"Good disciple, don't you want to eat?"

"This is all for the master. The master is old and needs to take supplements."

The master only felt that his eyes were a little wet, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe them: "Master, eat, master must have finished eating."

As he spoke, the master melted a Qi-enhancing pill and drank it in front of Zheng Qiu.

"Master, I'm going to pack things. I won't disturb you while you cook." Seeing the master taking the Qi Qi Pill, Zheng Qiu grinned happily and ran out of the kitchen.

The master looked at the porcelain bottle for a long time, then took off his coat and carefully hid it in the inner pocket of his underwear.

"Good disciple, it's time to eat." After a while, the master brought out plates of dishes and walked out of the kitchen. In the past, every dinner had two dishes, but today the master specially made an extra plate.

Halfway through the meal, the master suddenly said: "Good disciple, the master also brought you something."

"Give it to me?" Zheng Qiu opened his mouth and rice grains fell all over the table.

The master took a hand-sized thin-necked vase from the cabinet and said, "Look, this is it."

Zheng Qiu took the narrow-necked vase. There was a green grass planted in it. The grass was small and only had three leaves.

"Good disciple, this is the medicinal herb you found by the waterwheel."

"The grass beside the waterwheel? Didn't the master say it was sickly? Why is it so green now? Has the master found out what kind of grass it is?"

"Although I haven't found anything in the search, who is your master? No one in the mountains can compare to me in the art of growing medicine. This grass master has found out the way. It needs to be kept in clean water and not soiled. And this grass is also good.

If you want to be angry, it will not grow if you are not angry."

"Master, what you mean is that this grass must be raised together with living animals?"

"Yes, a good apprentice is smart. So master returns it to you, and you just need to keep it with you in the future."

"Wow, Master is so amazing." Zheng Qiu gently pulled the blade of grass and found that it became as tough as beef tendon.

"Put the bottle aside and eat first, otherwise it will get cold if you don't eat it."

"I understand, master."

Time always sneaks away inadvertently, March has passed in the blink of an eye, the weather is getting cooler a little bit, snowflakes will fall on the mountains every now and then, and the new year is getting closer and closer.

There has been a lot of good news in the sect recently, because the pill room's supply of pills has increased, and many disciples have successfully reached the Qi Control Realm. I heard that one of the disciples of the sect leader has touched the threshold of the Qi Condensation Realm, and is only one step away from breaking through.

As for the senior sister, the sect master has not given her the position of elder for a long time. Many people speculate that the sect master wants his disciple to become an elder.

Carrying a basket on his back, Zheng Qiu set foot on the mountain road that he had walked thousands of times. A thin-necked vase hung around his neck. The grass in it had grown bigger and had four leaves.

After the New Year, Zheng Qiu turned ten years old. He originally thought about going to the alchemy room to ask for some pills so that he could take them down the mountain to his parents. But the master dissuaded him and told him that this kind of thing was taboo in the clan and it was strictly forbidden to take it privately.

Give pills to outsiders.

Zheng Qiu had no choice but to do the next best thing and grow some herbs from the mountains that could be taken directly.

Taking out the lunch box, Zheng Qiu rubbed his hands and opened the lid. The dish the chef put today was pickled radish mixed with shredded ginger, especially for rice. As he was chewing, Zheng Qiu found that the scenery outside the hut was a bit blurry. He rubbed his eyes, it was not because he was dazzled.

.

He put down his lunch box and ran out to take a look. Hey, it was actually foggy. How could it be foggy at noon? Maybe it was going to rain and it would be fine after a while. Zheng Qiu shrugged and went back to the house to eat.

But it didn't rain as he expected. As time went by, the fog became thicker and thicker. Zheng Qiu stood outside the garden and could hardly see the herbs in the garden. He ran to the river and came back again.

The mountain road in the medicine garden is covered with fog everywhere.

It was really interesting. Zheng Qiu had never seen such a heavy fog. It was like being in a pile of cotton. He had a great time running around.

A few hours later, a cry came from the direction of the mountain road: "Good disciple? Good disciple..."

It's the master, the master is here. Zheng Qiu hurriedly ran out of the garden: "Master, I'm here, master!"

Soon, the master followed the voice and found Zheng Qiu: "Good disciple, let's go back to the medicine house."

"Go back to the medicine house now? Isn't it still dark?"

"Of course, go back now. It's so foggy. Can you still find the way after dark? Come, go back with the master."

"Oh, let me pack my things, master, wait a moment." Zheng Qiu thought about it, and the master was right. It was almost impossible to see the mountain road now, let alone after dark.

After following the master back to the medicine house, Zheng Qiu discovered that the fog was all over the mountains and plains. From the medicine garden to the back mountain medicine house, there was no place that was not covered by the heavy fog.

Regardless of the front, back, left, or right, everything was white. Only the mountain road at his feet allowed him to roughly identify his position. Maybe it was because the fog was too heavy, and the sect was quiet. Apart from him and his master, no one else was seen along the way.

personal.

As soon as he returned to the medicine house, the master said to Zheng Qiu: "Good disciple, there is no need to go to the medicine garden tomorrow."

"Ah? Why? What about the herbs?"

The master helped him take off his backpack, touched his head and replied: "You see it's so foggy outside, it's inconvenient for you to go to the medicine garden. Besides, the fog is heavy and the humidity is heavy, and your garden is full of water-loving herbs.

There will be problems."

"Master, how do you know it will still be so foggy tomorrow?"

"Your master is very capable. Look at the thick fog and its vast area. It will definitely last for several days."

"Master, you are so awesome. Does Master know when this fog will clear?"

The master smiled awkwardly: "Well, master only knows that the fog is coming, but I don't know when it will disperse. It's okay, master, go find someone who knows and ask, and you will know after asking."

The master glanced at the sky and told Zheng Qiu: "Good disciple, master, go and ask when the fog will dissipate. Close the doors and windows, and don't let moisture come into the house."

"Well, don't worry, master."

"Okay, stay in the medicine house and don't run around. I'll make you something delicious when the master comes back in the evening."
