Nongmen's Herbal Fragrance: The Space of Buddhist Doctors is Busy with Farming

Chapter 40 Determination
"What a beautiful legend." Qin Lan listened and looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky, soft and bright as if alive, recalling the legend just heard in her mind, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the legend really existed.

"Which book records this story?" Mu Xuefei looked at the shadow in the full moon in the sky and asked curiously. The only thing she was familiar with was the story of Chang'e flying to the moon.

"It's the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Some people say that the absurd and grotesque world recorded in it is real." Qin Shuyu replied.

""Shan Hai Jing"?" Mu Xuefei felt very strange. This book existed in both her previous life and this era. Even though she had only heard of his name but never read it, she didn't know what the connection between the two would be.

"What's wrong?" Mu Han asked Mu Xuefei suspiciously.

"It's okay, I just feel that the name is a bit strange, and after hearing this story, I suddenly want to read this book." Mu Xuefei subconsciously shook her head and denied.

"When we get to Yangcheng, I'll lend you my book." Mu Han said.

"Then thank you cousin." Mu Xuefei thanked.

"However, I have heard another story about the moon." Mu Xuefei stared at the bright and dark shadows in the moon in a daze.

"Sister-in-law, what's the story?" Qin Lan looked at Mu Xuefei with interest and said.

"Since Lan'er wants to hear it, let me tell you!" Mu Xuefei said.

"It is said that in ancient times, ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky, causing smoke to rise from the earth, and the common people could not live on.

There is a mighty hero named Houyi who is determined to relieve the suffering for the common people.

Hou Yi climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, exerted all his strength, drew his divine bow, and shot down nine suns in one breath.

He said to the last sun in the sky: "From now on, you must rise and set on time every day to benefit the people."

Hou Yi eliminated harm for the common people, and everyone respected him very much.Many people worship him as a teacher and learn martial arts from him.

There was a man named Pang Meng, who was treacherous and greedy, and he followed the crowd to worship Hou Yi's disciples.

Houyi's wife, Chang'e, is a beautiful and kind woman.She often helps poor folks, and the folks like her very much.One day, the Queen Mother of the West on Kunlun Mountain gave Hou Yi a pill of immortal medicine.

It is said that people who take this medicine can not only live forever, but also ascend to heaven and become immortals.However, Hou Yi didn't want to leave Chang'e, so he asked her to hide the elixir in a treasure box.

Somehow Pang Meng found out about this matter, and he wanted to get Hou Yi's elixir.In the early morning of August [-]th, when Hou Yi wanted to take his disciples out, Pang Meng pretended to be sick and stayed behind.

At night, Pang Meng held a sword in his hand and couldn't wait to break into Hou Yi's house, threatening Chang'e to hand over the elixir.Chang'e thought to herself, if such a person took the elixir of life, wouldn't more people be harmed?

So, she dealt with Pang Meng tactfully.Seeing that Chang'e refused to hand over the elixir, Pang Meng ransacked the box and searched everywhere.Seeing that the treasure box was about to be found, Chang'e hurried forward, took out the elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp.

After taking the elixir, Chang'e suddenly fluttered into the air.She flew out of the window and flew higher and higher across the silvery fields.A bright moon hangs in the blue night sky, and Chang'e has been flying towards the moon.

When Hou Yi came back from a trip, he did not see his wife Chang'e.He rushed out the door anxiously, only to see the bright moon in the sky, the shadows of the trees dancing on the round moon, and a jade rabbit jumping around under the tree.

And his wife was standing beside a laurel tree and staring at him affectionately.

"Chang'e, Chang'e." Hou Yi called repeatedly, chasing after the moon desperately.

But he chased three steps forward, and the moon took three steps back, and he couldn't catch up.

The villagers missed the kind Chang'e very much, and put Chang'e's favorite food in the yard, and blessed her from afar. "Mu Xuefei told the story slowly.

"Oh, it's so pitiful that Chang'e and Houyi were forced to separate!" Qin Lan said with some sobs.

"I've never heard of this story, but there is another story about shooting the sun in the Book of Mountains and Seas," Mu Han said.

"Can the cousin tell the story?" Mu Xuefei didn't expect Qin Lan to be so sad after hearing the story, so she changed the subject.

"Okay! According to legend, on the vast East Sea, there stands a sacred tree Fusang, and ten three-legged crows perch on the branches.

They are both the sons of the Eastern God Emperor Jun, and they take turns to travel to the sky every day. The light emitted by the three-legged crow is the sun that people see (so the sun is also called the three-legged crow).

Afterwards, the ten three-legged crows rushed to the sky despite the instructions of the Eastern God, and ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, and the earth was dry and the soil was scorched, and it was extremely hot.People had to hide in caves during the day and come out to look for food at night.Ferocious beasts and poisonous insects took the opportunity to cannibalize people, and human beings were in danger of extinction.

When the news spread to the sky, Emperor Jun gave Dayi a red bow and a bag of white arrows, and asked him to descend to the world to punish demons and monsters, and at the same time teach his sons of the sun a lesson.

But these three-legged crows didn't pay much attention to Dayi at all, and they still went to the sky to show off their might.Dayi was furious, and chose a place in the shade to draw his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at the three-legged crow in the center of the sun and shooting at it.

He shot without fail, and shot down nine three-legged crows in a row.People surrounded him and cheered.As soon as the three-legged crow died, the fire extinguished itself, and the people immediately felt refreshed, so they cheered happily.

The shouts spread to the sky, and Di Jun was furious when he saw that the nine sons were dead, but he didn't pursue the responsibility, so the only remaining three-legged crow roamed day and night without rest. "Mu Han told the story with both emotion and emotion.

"I think the book Shan Hai Jing is very interesting, and I want to read it too." Qin Lan said with interest after listening to another version of the story of shooting the sun.

"I think the stories recorded in the book are definitely not as beautiful and exciting as my cousin's." After hearing this, Mu Xuefei thought, why does my cousin like to read story books?The ability to tell a story is truly unparalleled.

"Cousin Miao praises, sister Lan'er, I will tell you other stories when I have time." Mu Han said enthusiastically, finally someone likes to listen to his own stories.

"Thank you, Brother Mu." Hearing what Mu Han said, Qin Lan lowered her head and thanked embarrassingly.

"Okay, it's Hai time now, let's go to bed earlier." Qin Shuyu interrupted.

"I didn't expect it to be so late before I knew it." Mu Xuefei sighed.

"Brother, why are you sleeping outside!" Qin Lan said sadly.

"It's okay, Brother Mu and I can make do with it, all right, you guys go back to the carriage." Qin Shuyu comforted.

"Yeah, sister Lan'er, don't worry, and we can also catch up on sleep during the day." Mu Han said.

"Lan'er, let's get them some thick clothes in the carriage!" Mu Xuefei pulled out a firewood and said to Qin Lan.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Qin Lan replied.

"Wait, I'll go too. You don't know where my luggage is, sister-in-law, are you going?" Mu Han looked at the figures of the two and shouted, then turned back and said to Qin Shuyu.

"Brother Mu, you can go, I'll just wait here." Qin Shuyu replied.

"Then I'll go first." After Mu Han finished speaking, he walked towards the carriage.

"Cousin, hurry up." Mu Xuefei urged.

"Here we come." Mu Han caught up with Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan, and the three of them walked side by side.

Mu Xuefei and Mu Han rummaged through their clothes in the afterglow of the torches that Qin Lan held up outside the carriage.

"Cousin, you don't have to go there, I'll take it to Brother Qin." Mu Han found out his clothes and hugged him.

"Cousin, did you find it so quickly? Wait a moment and I'll go there with you." Mu Xuefei finally found Qin Shuyu's burden.

"Okay, let's go!" Mu Xuefei jumped out of the carriage with her clothes in her arms and said to the two of them.

The three of them returned to the place just now. After Mu Xuefei handed the clothes to Qin Shuyu, she took out the cloth for appreciating flowers at noon and asked, "Where are you going to sleep? I'll spread it on the floor for you."

"Just here." Qin Shuyu took the clothes and said.

"Okay, then let's go back to the carriage." Mu Xuefei stood up and said after making the bed.

"I'll take you there." Qin Shuyu said as he put the clothes on the cloth.

"Cousin, let's go first." Mu Xuefei said to Mu Han who was lying on the ground.

Mu Han waved his hands and didn't speak. He walked back in the moonlight, listening to other people's chatting, and he didn't have the loneliness and fear that he imagined in the wild. Because he was not far away, he arrived within a few steps.

"Shu Yu, go back quickly!" Mu Xuefei said standing beside the carriage and looking at Qin Shuyu's half-dark face.

"Well, if you and Lan'er have anything to do at night, just call me." Qin Shuyu asked worriedly.

"I know, it's okay, we are so close." Mu Xuefei comforted.

"Then I'm leaving, and you must call me if you have anything to do." Qin Shuyu urged.

"We know, let's go!" Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Shuyu amusedly.

"Brother, don't worry!" Qin Lan also comforted.

"Sister-in-law, let's get into the carriage!" Qin Lan said to Mu Xuefei.

Seeing the darkness in the carriage, Mu Xuefei raised the curtain of the window, and the moonlight and bonfire outside penetrated into the carriage, sweeping away the darkness in the carriage.

"Lan'er, let's go to sleep!" Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan each took half of the seats.

"Sister-in-law, I still can't sleep, do you think the stories in the Book of Mountains and Seas are true?" Qin Lan asked curiously.

"I don't know either, maybe the Book of Mountains and Seas is the proof of the existence of that world." Mu Xuefei guessed, not to mention the existence of the God of Medicine space and the letter.

"The more I talk about it, the more I can't sleep, sister-in-law." Qin Lan looked at Mu Xuefei pitifully.

"How about I tell you a story I've heard before." Mu Xuefei suggested.

"Okay! Thank you sister-in-law." Qin Lan replied excitedly.

Mu Xuefei sincerely felt that Mu Han and Qin Lan were made for each other, one loved listening to stories and the other loved telling them.

"Once upon a time, in a garden, there lived a little daisy who had great respect for a free, lovely lark that so often hovered in the air.

One day, the lark flew to the small lawn with daisies, but it did not fly to the magnificent peonies and tulips beside the daisies, but to the inconspicuous little daisies in the grass, the lark The bird danced happily around the daisy and sang hymns of praise, which made daisy feel happy.

But the next day, the lark was captured by a little boy. Luckily, the little daisy and the small piece of grass it was in were locked into the lark's cage as an ornament. The lark was sad because it lost its freedom. Desperate, it put its beak into the turf where the daisy flowers were, longing for a trace of thirst-quenching coolness. In order to repay the lark, the daisy tried its best to make its petals emit a much stronger scent than usual, hoping to comfort the lark. The lark also noticed this, so he just pecked at the grass blades, and didn't want to touch the flower.

In the end, still no one brought water to the bird, and the lark died.

Daisy also died of illness on the soil due to sadness.When the children found the dead bird, they had a funeral for it, and the daisy, was just thrown into the dust of the road. After the lecture, Mu Xuefei found that Qin Lan had fallen asleep, and closed her eyes after smiling, trying to feel sleepy.

"Sister-in-law, are you asleep?" Mu Han looked at the sky full of bright moon and stars and asked Qin Shuyu beside him.

"Not yet." Qin Shuyu just wanted to enjoy the moon quietly.

"I felt that you knew a lot about Shan Hai Jing." Mu Han chatted casually.

"It's just that I saw this book by chance and read it several times." Qin Shuyu replied.

"Really? But, I really didn't expect to meet my cousin by such a coincidence?" Mu Han said.

"Brother Mu, what kind of person is Xuefei in your impression?" Qin Shuyu asked.

"We haven't seen each other for many years. I only remember that my cousin was a shy and cute child when I was young. I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for many years, and she turned out to be so graceful." Mu Han recalled.

"Can you tell me about Xuefei's childhood?" Qin Shuyu asked with interest.

"Okay, didn't I say that one winter when we were young, the two of us accidentally fell into the water? I remember that we wanted to pick a plum blossom, and the two of us climbed up the plum tree with great difficulty. We were just about to pick a plum blossom. I didn't expect that I accidentally stepped on the ground, my cousin pulled me hard, but I didn't expect that I fell into the water with me, and my father beat me hard because of this." Mu Han said.

"Qin Shuyu, you must be nice to my cousin, don't let her down, don't let her, don't blame me for being rude." Mu Han sat up and looked at Qin Shuyu seriously and warned.

"I will." Regardless of whether the current Mu Xuefei is the former Mu Xuefei, as long as she doesn't hurt my family, Qin Shuyu said silently in his heart.

"I knew I was right." Mu Han swept away his serious expression and said with a smile.

"Brother Mu, you'd better think about your own problems." Qin Shuyu still didn't like Mu Han's attitude of being attentive to Qin Lan but acting like he didn't know it.

"I'm fine!" Mu Han said doubtfully.

"Brother Mu, have you considered your life's event?" Qin Shuyu asked.

"Sister-in-law, this is not like you! I think it will take a long time to get married based on my conditions for choosing a relative!" Mu Han said exaggeratedly.

"Pretend I didn't ask anything." Qin Shuyu decided in his heart that he must be optimistic about Mu Han in the future and keep him away from Lan'er.

At this time, Mu Han didn't know that there would be a super obstacle in his way of chasing his wife, and he was enjoying the full moon.
