Chapter 454 The Five Elements of Herbs

Yu Shuozong of the Erqing Dynasty brought Zhang Xiaohua to the place where Polygonatum was planted, and helped Zhang Xiaohua to plan a few out of the medicinal garden of Chuzhu, then turned back and handed it to Zhang Xiaohua, and asked: "Brother Ren, This sealwort is not very easy to wash, you take the small waiter to a place with water, and I will wash it for you."

Zhang Xiaohua was surprised. He blurted out, "Why do you need to wash?"

However, I immediately understood, no, Huichun Valley is "boiled pills", if it is not washed clean. There is one more ingredient in this "Bigudan". If it is discovered by others, it will become a "Zhutu Pill", just like the "water-injected chicken" that Li Jinfeng and Mr. Li said.

Seeing that Nie Qianyu was puzzled, Zhang Xiaohua explained: "An ancient method of alchemy. What is important is to quench the impurities in the medicinal herbs with the alchemy fire. Although there is a lot of soil, it can be quenched as much as possible with the alchemy fire, so there is no need to bother washing it for nothing. "

A blush flashed across Nie Qianyu's face, and she said with a smile, "I've seen the steps of the ancient method of alchemy. It's just that I never thought of this section. It seems that there is indeed a problem with my method of alchemy in Huichun Valley."

After Nie Qianyu handed Huang Jing over to her, Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved. This Huang Jing can be picked and preserved for a long time, but many herbs used in alchemy are delicate and abnormal, if they are not kept properly. The vitality in the medicinal herb will be lost soon, and Rejuvenation Valley doesn't need to consider such issues, as I have to prepare in advance.

After thinking about it, it seems that it is in the appendix of "General Outline of Refining Equipment". There is a way to make a jade box, and you will have to refine a few spare ones later.

The other ingredients of Bigu Pill are very common, and the Huichun Valley is planted in Waigu, so Nie Qianyu had no choice but to take Zhang Xiaohua and go outside.

At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the two walked on the rugged path in the inner valley. Mottled shadows cast on the two of them from time to time. Nie Qianyu felt that the road in the inner valley had never been so comfortable. Like a happy bird, flying in the valley full of medicinal herbs.

There is still a distance from the place where sealwort is planted in the inner valley to the outer valley, but Nie Qianyu wished that the distance was far away. Since Zhang Xiaohua entered the Huichun Valley, she has been studying and practicing desperately. She is very close. There are not many opportunities to meet. Compared with the time when they were on the road together, chatting and laughing in the same carriage, Nie Qianyu really missed the time when they were on the road.

This not long but not short journey allowed her to find the warm feeling she used to have.

However, Zhang Xiaohua's topic is incomprehensible.

"Nie Xiaoyu'er, "Bigu Dan, the prescription of the pill. I read it just now, except for the main ingredient of Polygonatum, what are the effects of the other small ingredients, can you tell me? Also, what else do I have. doubt. If the "Bigu Pill" is directly refined from that yellow essence, will it be successful?"

Nie Qianyu listened,

With embarrassment on his face, he said: "Brother Ren, I can't answer your second question. I haven't tried it, and it seems that Huichun Valley hasn't tried it either. I can answer the first question simply, what's the matter. The efficacy of medicinal herbs is recorded in ancient books

Immediately, Nie Qianyu explained the growth, efficacy and characteristics of several other ingredients in detail. These contents are recorded in books, so Zhang Xiaohua naturally knows it too. Listening to Nie Qianyu speaking in a soft voice, and being able to quote and compare other medicinal herbs, and speaking clearly and logically, Zhang Xiaohua nodded secretly when she heard it. This wisdom is not just for nothing. It's just that Nie Qianyu didn't know the five elements method in the elixir, maybe she knew it and didn't think about it. In the explanation, there is no slight involvement.

Zhang Xiaohua listened to Nie Qianyu's explanation, while pondering secretly in her heart, slowly tasted a little taste, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Yu'er, I admire you very much after hearing so much from you. , To be honest, I have been reading books on these herbs, but after all, the time is short. It is far from your level."

After hearing this, Nie Qianyu felt sweet in her heart, but said comfortingly, "Brother Ren, don't be modest. You can understand so much in a short period of time. It's already very rare."

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head, and asked again: "But Xiao Yuer, can you think about it in depth?"

Nie Qianyu was taken aback, puzzled and said: "Deep? That deep?"

After a bit of wording, Zhang Xiaohua tentatively asked: "Aren't you good at prescribing medicine? Do the herbs in the prescription have to match the five elements? Are yin and yang adjusted?"

Nie Qianyu's eyes lit up, and she said with some hesitation: "The herbs in the prescription are for curing people's diseases. Naturally, we have to consider the stakes. If one is careless, wouldn't it kill people? Moreover, only when the medicine is used to the right symptoms can people be cured." Regulate the changes of the five elements in the human body. Return to normal. Ouch, brother Ren. What do you mean

Zhang Xiaohua touched her chin, with a tall face, said meaningfully: "The decoction is for ordinary people, and the elixir is for the people of the Jianghu. The decoction is for curing diseases, and the elixir is also for regulating internal strength." Or blood, it should be the same in essence, right?"

Nie Qianyu still shook her head and said, "It's different, it's different. Decoctions are just ordinary things that cannot be found in ordinary things. How can they compare with elixir? What the elder brother said is more Sichuan vulgar in pharmacology. It is said People ridiculed that it evolved from elixir. If it is suitable for elixir, why is there no mention of the theory of the five elements in alchemy? Could it be that everyone else is stupid? Xiao

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head. Yeah, such simple reasoning. Even I can think of it, how can other experts not think of it?

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was speechless, Nie Qian and Yu Qian smiled and said: "However, this is also the first time I have heard of such a theory of alchemy. It is very novel. Brother Ren, reading like you is real reading. Infer other things from one instance. By analogy .”

Zhang Xiaohua straightened her chest and said, "That's right, your big brother Ren has read the Three Character Classic for many days."

"Puchi..." Although Nie Qianyu was used to this gimmick, she still couldn't help laughing out loud.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't talk too much, just gossiped a little, and walked to the outer valley.

There are also a lot of herbs planted in the medicine garden in Waigu, but they are all common and not unusual. It's just that these herbs grow very well because of the rich vitality of the Rejuvenation Valley.

These herbs are all managed by Fei He of the herb garden. Fei He is a thin, middle-aged man who is not good at speaking. Zhang Xiaohua has met him before, and the only impression he has is that he lives up to his name.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua and Nie Qianyu coming together, Fei He dropped his business and came to receive them. First, he helped the two pick a few herbs. He didn't dare to disturb the two-person world of the two of them any more, and prepared to leave.

Nie Qianyu grabbed him. Said: "Second Senior Brother. Don't rush to leave."

Fei He asked strangely: "Is there anything else, Junior Sister? .

Nie Qianyu pointed to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Second Senior Brother, you know Eldest Brother Ren. From now on, he will come to the garden to collect herbs, so don't stand in the way."

Fei He smiled and said, "Who doesn't know Ren Shaoxia in Huichun Valley? Little Junior Sister cares too much, hehe."

Seeing Fei He laughing strangely. Nie Qianyu stomped her feet lightly and said angrily, "Second senior brother's heart"

Fei He grew up with a lot of Nie Qianyu. He watched her grow up since she was a child, and loved her as much as his own child. Seeing her girlish attitude, she secretly smiled. He also said: "When Ren Shaoxia was in the Qihuangyuan of the elder brother, he often came to the garden to apply for medicine, so don't worry about it, junior sister."

"That's it." Nie Qianyu understood somewhat, but she still didn't let Fei He go, and asked softly: "Second senior brother, you have been managing the herb garden for many years, and you are very clear about the properties and characteristics of various herbs. I want to ask you a question."

Fei He laughed and said: Junior Sister has been asking "why why?" since she was young, but at this age, she still hasn't asked enough?"

Nie Qianyu smiled and said, "Second Senior Brother has a really good memory, it seems that he is not old yet.

"However, Brother Ren asked me this question just now, and I really don't know how to answer it. Nie Qianyu once again explained the five elements theory of alchemy in a serious manner.

Fei He pondered for a while, and said: "Young Xia Ren asked a good question. I also noticed it earlier, but I only know medicinal herbs. I am not proficient in alchemy. Even Qihuang knows a thing or two. Dare to think deeply. As for why there is no theory of the five elements in alchemy, I think it is probably like this."

Upon hearing that Fei He had also noticed such a problem, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help being very interested.

I heard Fei He say: "The application of Chinese herbal medicine in pharmacology is based on the principle of alchemy. Herbs are used for diseases of the human body, and the theory of the five elements first originated from acupuncture, and then extended to the prescriptions of decoctions, and then pushed back into the prescriptions. Most of these herbs are commonly seen things, and do not involve the celestial grass used in alchemy, but the process of alchemy. It has existed in ancient times, and the predecessors are all very wise, and they cannot attribute the celestial grass to the five elements, so the five elements Maybe it can only be used for ordinary medicinal herbs."

"Thinking of this chapter, I stopped thinking about it. There are still many things to be busy. Who has the leisure to do things that the ancestors disdain or consider unacceptable? Oh. Ren Shaoxia, I'm not talking about you, I

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless, but what Fei He said was very reasonable, and the logic was very simple, "Although ordinary herbs can be divided into five elements, they are only forcibly divided according to the patient's condition. Immortal herbs are not used to cure diseases. It may not be It can be divided, and if it can be divided, alchemy is already extremely mature. How many years earlier than Ji Huang, why can't the predecessors distinguish it? It must be impossible."

However, Zhang Xiaohua faintly felt that things were not as simple as Fei He said, what the hell. He may not know, but he has vaguely glimpsed the trajectory of the way of heaven, why did the predecessors think that he didn't know, but he did feel from the way of heaven that the theory of the five elements is everywhere, and there must be some of these herbs for alchemy .

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua had a kind of lofty idea in her chest, to do something that no one has done before, maybe she can create an era by herself!

Fan: These chapters are extremely awkwardly written. It is estimated that it has reached a bottleneck, and this is the second time it has appeared in writing this book.

In addition, dizzy vegetables ah, brothers and sisters. No monthly pass?
