Chapter 8: Acorus calamus and the magic stick in the eyes of Zhang Mu

"Where is my special cat?" Zhang Bairen sighed weakly. Although I heard the villagers say that this place is located in Hebei, but his mother has an extraordinary temperament and looks outstanding, definitely not an ordinary woman, and Familiar with the scriptures, this has confirmed the extraordinaryness of my mother.
　　 My mother is more reliable than those who are illiterate.
　　 "What did the army of the imperial court do outside the Great Wall?" This is something Zhang Bairen should figure out as soon as possible.
　　 Zhang Bairen might have guessed where he is located. It is in the three provinces of Northeast China and Inner Mongolia. As for the specific location, Zhang Bairen is not sure, but he must be the nearest to Hebei.
"The remoteness and bitter cold outside the Great Wall are for the people of the Central Plains where the barbarians are located, but a court army infiltrated the Great Wall, stationed under the eyes of the Turks, and built a small and small city. Obviously, I intend to make long-term preparations, and the Turkic army has not been surrounded for a long time, but sent people to harass, which seems a little strange." Zhang Bairen gnawed the bark, it was wrong... it was chicken bones, secretly suspicious.
　　 "Don't think too much, you kid" Mother Zhang gave Zhang Bairen a white look.
"Mother, shall we stay outside forever?" Zhang Bairen looked at Zhang's mother and went to the Sui Dynasty for a walk. It would be really ridiculous if he stayed out of the Sui Dynasty. In the future disputes between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, heroes will come out in large numbers, and there will be a lot of gods. Suspension, there must be a difference from the real history, if Zhang Bairen died here, Zhang Bairen would definitely not be reconciled.
"Huh, what's so good about the gate? There is an emperor who is in charge of you, and there are countless corrupt officials who squeeze you, bully men and women rampantly, there is no king's law, how can you be free outside the Great Wall, although there is no prosperity in the Central Plains, but it is Comfortable, there is no such thing as a god, what's wrong." Mother Zhang glared at Zhang Bairen: "In short, you must not have this idea again. Tomorrow I will ask you to make a marriage with your Uncle Zhang's girl, get married and have children as soon as possible, and pass on from generation to generation."
　　 After speaking, Mother Zhang ignored Zhang Bairen, turned and walked out of the house, and went to the outhouse to pack her things.
　　 The sky gradually dimmed, Zhang Bairen put down his chopsticks, and after putting away the tableware, he sighed slightly, lit the dim oil lamp, and stared at the book in front of him in a daze.
　　 As the saying goes, people who have no far-sightedness must have near-worries. The wind is very cold outside the Great Wall. Now that I am weak, I need to prepare early.
　　 Moreover, the food in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was not very clean. After these three or four years, Zhang Bairen felt that he must have roundworms in his stomach.
"Pills" Zhang Bairen wondered secretly, what kind of pill he should refine, many of them are too young, and they are out of the country, so they can't find them. What to refine, even if he knows how to refine pill. Difficult to practice.
"There is a pill, maybe you can try it, but this calamus is hard to find! Especially in this bitter cold place! But the garrison must communicate with Zhongyuan. Perhaps this matter should be thought of from the garrison." Zhang Bairen looked at the hand books.
　　 There was a pill in the previous life, called ‘Changpu Miaoying Pill’, calamus belongs to water, it is the essence of water, the spiritual grass of gods, and the precious prescription of great sage. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been taken by mountain hermits.
　　This Dan Fang was prospered by Emperor Wu of Liang. At that time, Emperor Wu of Liang had his heart in immortal, searching for wise men in the world, and looking for wise men. At this time, Lu Louyun entered the table: the former doctor Dongfang Shuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also an immortal. But Jingshang serves the calamus, and Fu is willing to rely on it. The main effect of Liang is convinced, all diseases are eliminated, and he is smart and profitable.
　　 This is a record in Taoist classics, but it is a deification of the medicinal effect of this calamus pill.
　　 However, the calamus is indeed a of heaven and spirit, and it is God's main treatment.
　　 The immortal respects Tao, has a pure and harmonious nature, and takes medicine as the foundation. Changzhe Sheng Ye, Pu Zhe Pu Ye, Jing Zhe Ling Ye. Can widely save all diseases, prolong life and strengthen ambition, and keep young and beautiful.
　　 But calamus is not eaten randomly, and it needs to be refined. The method of refining is a secret, but Zhang Bairen knows it.
　　 If you want to refine this calamus, from picking to refining, there are no secrets. There are few calamus in the north. If someone is invited to gather medicine, wouldn’t it reveal the prescription?
　　 Zhang Bairen started to have a headache. He was not in that prosperous place. He was young and couldn't do anything well.
　　 "Mother, have you ever heard of calamus?" Zhang Bairen looked at the opposite mother Zhang.
　　 "Acorus calamus?" Mother Zhang was taken aback, and then said: "I have heard, what do you ask this for?"
"I heard that the calamus grass is taken for 10 months and can eliminate food. In two months, it can eliminate colds. In March, all diseases are cured. By four years, you are more than mental. Five years, bone marrow is full. Six years, the color is shiny, like Boy. Seven years, white and black. Eight years, tooth loss rebirth. Nine years, skin smooth. Ten years, face like peach blossom. Eleven years, bone light. Twelve years, always live forever, live forever, face Like hibiscus, it will help all spirits, and evil spirits will not come close, and the evil will disappear forever. The rise of this medicine is taken by the immortal, and the world will not know. The one who gets it will calm the heart and strengthen the spirit, strengthen the soul Black. If you can be committed, you will live forever." At this point, Zhang Bairen looked at Mother Zhang: "If you can get calamus, you can prolong your mother's life and stay young forever."
　　 Mother Zhang was taken aback when he heard the words: "Which calamus grass is said to have such a magical effect? ​​Although the world regards calamus as a herbal medicine, my son's words are a bit exaggerated! Don't think about it."
　　 Zhang Bairen was taken aback when he heard the words: "This is not what the child said, but Bian Que and Liu Gen said."
　　 "You are young, where do you know the calamus?" Zhang mother looked at Zhang Bairen with a pair of eyes, although she was still gentle, but there was a hint of coldness in her gentleness.
　　 "No, what this book says" Seeing the inexplicable sternness in Mother Zhang's eyes, Zhang Bairen was taken aback.
　　 Mother Zhang took the book and flipped through it. It did mention calamus. This book is a pharmacopoeia. It is natural to mention calamus.
　　 "My mother had been in contact with some alchemists before, and all day long, pretending to be fools and exaggerating, they are all cockroachers, you should not learn from that alchemist's journey." Mother Zhang glared at Zhang Bairen.
　　 Zhang Bairen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then pretended not to care: "My boy just saw the magic of this calamus and wants to try it!"
　　 Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly to himself. Fortunately, he was prepared. He had done enough homework before he mentioned the calamus, otherwise he would be in trouble today. Faced with the question of Zhang’s mother, how should he respond?
　　 This is also a wake-up call for Zhang Bairen, and there will be things to hide from Mother Zhang in the future.
　　 "Acorus calamus does have some usefulness. I will go to the market in the future to see if there is any replacement," said Zhang Mu. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
　　 Zhang Bairen sighed secretly in his heart, even if the calamus is there, if I don’t know how to make it, the effect of the medicine must have passed, and the hard work was wasted.
Mother Zhang looked at Zhang Bairen and went to fill the fire in the outbuilding. Zhang Bairen slowly opened the book in her hand. The above said: "Acorus calamus can cure miasma and chronic wind disease, kill roundworms in the stomach, treat strokes, paralyze hands and feet, and win thinness. Injury and cure various winds, waist and feet, hemiplegia, hand and foot therapy, paralysis, partial wind, five labors and seven injuries, hemorrhoids, astringent eyes and foot pain, irregular abdomen, or diarrhea or dysentery, such a disease is not bad, take it It eliminates the roots forever, and also cures women's postpartum blood halos, rushing to the heart, and the red and white belts, which are linked to the death of women's postpartum halos...".
"In the future, I will still need to carry out the calamus in secret. I can't even mention half a word about this practice. It seems that there is something wrong with my mother today." Zhang Bairen closed the book, silently closed his eyes, and began to comprehend the Four Paths. Tactics.
The candlelight was dim, and Mother Zhang didn't know when she came to Zhang Bairen, she looked at Zhang Bairen quietly, and sighed softly after a long time: "Bairen, tell your mother, did you meet some weird person in the mountains the day before yesterday? Is it a strange thing?"
　　 "Why did my mother say that?" Zhang Bairen opened his eyes and asked in amazement.
"Oh!" Mother Zhang sighed softly: "You are still young, don't want to contact people indiscriminately, you are deceived by those gods, you are talking about people all day long, fooling people, and killing your wife. It's a sin."
　　 "The kid knows" Zhang Bairen tried to make himself better.
　　 "My mother has nothing now, only you are left. If you leave my mother, the mother really can't live..." Two lines of clear tears slipped down in Mother Zhang's eyes.
　　 "Why the mother said that, the child said that the calamus is not for the mother's good, and to do her filial piety for the mother" Zhang Bairen hurriedly rushed to sell cute.
