When the orchid fruit matures, it has two different shapes.
The fruit of one plant is bright red and round, and its size is much larger than ordinary ones. The other plant is a bit strange, its size has not changed much, but its shape has changed to that of an eggplant.
In order to prevent the greedy deer from happening again, Chen Yu raised the fence around the medicine fields and vegetable gardens, went to the mountains to cut bamboos and woven them into fences, and surrounded them tightly without leaving any hidden dangers.
In addition, he quickly picked all the ripe orchid fruits and put them all in the basket, leaving not a single red one.
The same was true for the green vegetable buds next to him, and he picked the only remaining seedlings.
Now, only the Yuanling roots are left in the medicine field and have not yet grown. Chen Yu estimated in his mind that he transplanted the second batch on March 23rd. Now, on the fourth day of April, the total has exceeded ten days. According to
Judging from last experience, it will be completely mature in three or four days. At that time, it can be pulled up and broken open to absorb spiritual energy.
What happened after that was still the same. Driven by curiosity, he started experimenting non-stop.
The green vegetable sprouts have been fed to Brother Chicken, and they still have to wait for some time to observe. Now the only thing that needs to be investigated is the Orchid Garden Fruit in hand.
In the spirit of the husband and wife being united and sharing weal and woe, Chen Yu briefly tested it on earthworms, mixed the remaining scum into the rice grains, and caught a hen alone to feed it.
Preliminary experiments at least prove that the round orchid fruit will not produce severe side effects in a short period of time. As for the rest, it depends on how the couple in the woodshed performs.
Looking at the remaining 'red eggplants', he put them back into the basket without catching the last hen.
The little chicken is too small now and needs to be carried around.
Speaking of which, Chen Yu has recently been considering whether to encircle a piece of land behind the Taoist temple, tidy it up, and then put all the chickens in it.
It is not a problem to keep them in a cramped chicken shed all the time.
In fact, if he hadn't thought that there were many snakes and insects on the mountain, and wild beasts would appear from time to time, he would have just opened the door of the chicken shed and let them go freely.
"The chickens are not big now and the chicken shed can still hold them. They will have to be free-range in the future."
When the chicken boy grows from the size of a palm to the size of the chicken brother now, he will feel more relieved.
The experiment was carried out in an orderly manner. Chen Yu cleared away the debris in front of him, then took out the bamboo tube containing the reed ginseng paste, scooped out a spoonful and ate it.
It's sweet, soft and greasy, and tastes a bit like black sesame paste.
Reed ginseng ointment should not be stored for a long time, so he licked it when he had something to do recently. In just over a day, less than half of the ointment in the tube was missing.
After experiencing the mountain stream, Chen Yu felt that there might be a lot of reed ginseng on the mountain, but it was really hard to find. If there is a chance in the future, it would be better to go to the bottom of the mountain to buy it.
But recently he had to sow seeds and cultivate grain and medicine seeds, so he couldn't spare the time, and his money was limited. Unless he sold all the herbs he picked before, he wouldn't be able to buy much reed ginseng.
"If you have time, go to the mountain stream for a stroll. If you can't, you can only go to the foot of the mountain."
Of course, according to his estimation, the plaster in his hand could last for at least two or three days, and even though the side effects of the reed ginseng plaster were mild, taking it for a long time was not good, so he probably didn't need to worry about it for the next ten and a half days.
That’s not right, I still have intestinal grass!
It suddenly occurred to him that he also had Runchang Cao, which can moisten the intestines and detoxify. The effect was outstanding. After taking it a few times, he felt that his whole body was relaxed. He used Baiyun Powder and Lu Shen Ointment in succession, but it did not leave much toxicity.
The toxins expelled by Runchangcao are not limited to the gastrointestinal residues. Even the toxins buried deep in the internal organs can be excreted completely after taking two more meals.
Thinking about it this way, even if Chen Yu eats it every day, day and night, the toxicity of the reed ginseng paste may not remain in the body at all.
"It just so happens that the drug resistance of this ointment is not strong."
When taking medicine, in addition to the toxicity of the medicine itself, there is also the drug resistance caused by overdose.
The reason why Chen Yu chose Lu Shen Ointment is because the medicinal power of this plaster can last for a long time, and it is much longer lasting than those liver-nourishing prescriptions left by the old Taoist priests in Guanzhong.
It is still effective after taking it for a year and a half.
After all, there is still a lack of ginseng...
I thought that the reed ginseng, which was far less valuable than the snow velvet, would be easier to pick. I remember picking a lot of it in my previous life. Who would have thought that when I came here, I had to search all over such a large mountain stream to get just one.
The prepared ointment is only enough for a few days.
"Maybe it's just bad luck. I'll try again later."
Just as I was thinking about it, there was sudden movement outside the mountain road.
"May I ask if Taoist Master Chen of Yunheguan Chenyu is here?"
…
Jiang Qinan stood in front of the temple and looked at the Taoist temple in front of him, with a little curiosity in his eyebrows.
The green and black Taoist robe covers the body, leaving two cuffs with flying cloud patterns, lined with light blue clothes, and the eyes are shining brightly under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows.
He carries a long sword on his back, a white bundle around his waist, and a Taoist scarf on his head.
Haiyun Temple is one of the few Taoist temples in Shiya County, and Jiang Qin'an, who is his second contemporary brother and has studied Taoism for nearly ten years, is naturally aware of the current status of many Taoist temples in Shiya County.
There are those who ride the wind upwards, and there are those who fall into the sky.
It's just that the number of the former is far less than that of the latter.
The Yunhe Temple in front of me is one of those in decline and desolation.
"At the time, Daoist Master Li was superb in Taoism and his martial arts in protecting the Tao was even more famous. It's a pity and a pity."
He sighed with emotion and looked at the slightly cold and lonely low building not far ahead with a complicated expression.
Many Taoist cultivators in Haiyun Temple have exchanged ideas with Taoist Master Li and have some friendship. Jiang Qin'an had heard about his deeds and had some expectations for Yunhe Temple where he was born. Unexpectedly, when he saw it today, it turned out to be as dilapidated as those.
Generally speaking, lifeless.
Recalling what I learned from the temple at that time, it seems that the temple owner currently registered in the Yellow Scale Register of Yunhe Temple is a Taoist cultivator named Chen Yu.
He is not very old, two rounds younger than him. He has not done much to make a name for himself. His most recent deed was when he single-handedly fought a group of unarmed bandits when he went down the mountain a year ago. It is said that he was injured.
He also knew that the new temple leader's martial arts skills were far inferior to those of Taoist Master Li. As for Taoism... Jiang Qin'an shook his head and said nothing, not having much hope.
Alas, there was another sigh, because he thought about the changes in recent days, the world's situation is turbulent, and there are too many temples like Yunhe Temple that are no longer in decline. In the past half month, he has traveled most of Shiya County.
I went to send the invitation, only to find that the Taoist temple listed in the book was missing by more than 40%!
After a long time of separation, when will peace be restored?
At this time, a burst of footsteps coming from far away interrupted the Taoist's meditation. Jiang Qinan came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The whole body of the Taoist robe looks like clouds and cranes riding in the mist, and like stars looming over the moon. It is dark and intertwined with silver, which is really out of the dust.
Look at the person again.
Leisurely and tranquil.
The temperament that is hidden from the world is reflected in the young man who comes. His expression is gentle and calm, and his eyes seem to have some kind of strangeness, which makes people involuntarily feel less bored and calm down.
He was just walking alone, but Jiang Qin'an couldn't help but think of a sentence he had read in the Taoist Scriptures:
Strictly guard your inner appearance and be calm and indifferent to your outer appearance.
"True cultivation!"
He admired in his heart, and at the same time dispersed all kinds of self-distractions, he looked straight and raised his hands in a most formal salute, put his fingers forward and pinched the tips of his thumbs.
"Pindao Haiyun Temple Jiang Qin'an."
"Yunhe visited Chenyu and met fellow Taoists."
