Chapter 248 Pixiu ([-])
Although the medicinal materials are densely distributed and continuous, it is not difficult to find that most of them are old roots that have not yet matured. It seems that Lao Li's medicine shop on the mountainside is doing well.

Miaoyin found several tonics that Mrs. Hu needed in the medicine field, and distributed the samples to Bai Wenhao and Lao Ba, and asked them to find as many medicines as possible according to the samples in their hands, because Mrs. Hu's body conditioning is a long-term task. Things cannot be rectified in a day or two.

This is the beauty of traditional Chinese medicine, although it is not as fast as western medicine, and although traditional Chinese medicine treats diseases according to the old saying, curing diseases is like spinning silk, describing its curative effect as slow.

However, the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are less than that of western medicine, and as long as the symptoms are right, the focus can be eliminated fundamentally.

It is not like western medicine, which seems to be relieved quickly on the surface, but in fact it only temporarily extinguishes the fire of the disease. Once the fire is reborn one day, it will definitely burn more violently than last time.

Therefore, Chinese medicine has the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine has the magical effect of Western medicine. In case of emergency, Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, and Western medicine is naturally a better choice.

But if you encounter chronic diseases, western medicine is not as good as traditional Chinese medicine.

This is also the biggest reason why Chinese medicine will not be replaced by Western medicine even after 5000 years. There are reasons for the two to coexist.

The so-called strength is great in numbers, and the two bamboo baskets brought by them were quickly filled with fresh medicines. The old eighth looked at the baskets of Bi Cui and said: "Usually the medicines are black dry medicines, and this green herb I have never taken it before, so I wonder how the curative effect compares with that dry medicine?"

Miaoyin laughed and said: "Dried medicine is also made from fresh medicine in the sun. After being exposed to the sun and baked, the properties of the medicine will be more or less lost. Naturally, dry medicine is not as good as this fresh medicine, and this fresh medicine has more ways to eat. , the taste is not bad, much better than that dry medicine."

Lao Ba burst into a smile immediately when he heard the words, as if the picture of Xiao He recovering after eating these fresh medicines picked by himself appeared in front of his eyes.

Bai Wenhao said: "Since the fresh medicine has better medicinal properties, why do you need to make the fresh medicine into a dry medicine? Isn't it superfluous?"

Miaoyin laughed and shook her head, reached out and tapped his forehead, and said with a smile: "You, you are the number one scholar, don't you understand? Once the fresh medicine is picked, it will face extremely fast corruption. If you don't use special methods to dry it Roasting, fresh medicine will soon become rotten medicine, you rich young masters living in the city, how can you eat these fresh herbs that come from thousands of miles?"

Bai Wenhao suddenly said: "So that's the case, I didn't expect this reason."

Lao Ba looked at the sky, and his face was a little anxious: "Unknowingly, the sun is going to set, we have to go back quickly, this day, it will be dark if it is dark."

Lao Ba is an aborigine of Guling Mountain. He grew up hearing the rumor that one cannot stay on the mountain at night. When he saw the dark sky, he immediately panicked.

Miao Yin laughed and said, "I'd like to see the legendary scene of a hundred beasts crossing the mountain."

When Lao Ba heard this, he quickly waved his hands: "No, absolutely no, this is fatal, don't say so much, let's go down the mountain quickly."

After Lao Ba finished speaking, he grabbed Miaoyin with one hand and dragged her away, afraid that the girl would come up with some bad ideas.

Seeing that he was nervous, Miaoyin didn't resist, thinking that Zuo Zuo would live here for a while, besides, the moon is [-] round on the [-]th day, if today is missed, isn't there still tomorrow?Tomorrow she and Wen Hao will come alone, and they must see if the incident of the Hundred Beasts Hengshan really exists, and if it does exist, whether it is related to Beast Yin.

Unexpectedly, Lao Ba was in a hurry to go down the mountain, and dragged Miaoyin to copy the path among the mountains, but he got lost and turned back and forth in a daze because he didn't find the correct way to go down the mountain.

As the sun set, the sky darkened as soon as it was dark, and there was a strong wind in the forest, which made people lose their eyes and couldn't find their way back.

The old eight regretted it, kept blaming himself, regretted that he should have taken it too fast, and led the two of them on this unfamiliar wild road, and now they can't even go home.

Miao Yin comforted with a smile: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. It may not be a good thing for us to be trapped in the ancient spirit mountain today. If we are in danger, it will be our destiny. I won't blame you."

Lao Ba's mood gradually calmed down, so he dragged the two of them back from the wild road slowly under the stars and moonlight in the sky. Only when they returned to the main road, could they find the correct way home.

Bai Wenhao held Miaoyin's hand tightly all the way, fully opened his five senses, and was highly vigilant about his surroundings. In the mountains and forests at night, anything could happen.

The three of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally saw a few pieces of herbs scattered on the ground after turning a small fork. They were the herbs that were cut from the basket by branches when they went down the mountain into the wild trail.

"This is the road. After leaving this section, we can go back to the medicine field, and then return along the way we came from. We can't go wrong." Lao Ba was very excited. Fortunately, the moon is full and the stars are bright today, illuminating the mountain road It is not difficult to walk.

Unexpectedly, Lao Ba's joy was not over yet, and the good times didn't last long. A tiger's roar came from not far away, and the three of them quickly squatted down on the spot, not daring to move a little bit.

Bai Wenhao lowered his voice and said, "Old Ba, your Guling Mountain doesn't look like a place that can breed ferocious beasts like tigers."

The old eight stared at the place where the tiger roared, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, the other side of the ancient spirit mountain is connected to a continuous Mahuang mountain range. It is said that the mountain range has existed since ancient times. The ferocious beasts inside are not to mention tigers, even more ferocious ones may exist."

Lao Ba looked solemn, and said again: "It seems that the legend is true. On the night of the full moon, a hundred beasts will cross the mountain."

Miaoyin glanced at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and said: "According to what you said, except for the night of the full moon, there are no wild beasts in this mountain?"

Lao Ba shook his head: "I don't know about it, but at least I have never seen a tiger. The tiger must have come from the Mahuang Mountain Range. Although the Guling Mountain and the Mahuang Mountain Range are close, there is a river in the middle, so the general There are very few ferocious beasts crossing the river into the mountains from the other side of the mountain range, and this fierce tiger suddenly crossing the river into the mountains must be related to the full moon, which confirms the legend, it seems that tonight, our lives will be confessed here."

Miaoyin didn't say a word, she closed her eyes, and used her extremely sensitive sense of smell to catch any suspicious smell in the wind.

"It's a white tiger, it's a rarity." Lao Ba stared at a white tiger that gradually appeared in his sight, and muttered to himself.

"There are a few more white tigers here." Bai Wenhao pointed to another direction, which was where they gathered the medicine today.

"What's that? Savages?" Lao Ba trembled slightly, pointing to several long-haired beasts that walked upright like humans.

Miaoyin opened her eyes and looked in the direction Lao Ba pointed: "It's not a savage, it's an ape." Apes, a species that is infinitely close to humans, can walk half upright.

Needless to say, this ape must have smuggled over from the Namahuang Mountains.

Hearing Miaoyin say it was an ape, the excitement in Lao Ba's heart calmed down a little.

"What's that?" After Bai Wenhao pointed his finger at the gray ape, a group of ferocious beasts with green eyes came out of the jungle, stepped into the medicine field, even surpassed the white tiger, and stood at the forefront of the group of beasts.

I saw that beast's body was like a tiger and leopard, its head and tail were like a dragon, with a horn on its head, two wings on its shoulders, and a dark golden fur. Under the moonlight, it shone with a faint golden awn, although it was night, it was very dazzling.

Miaoyin frowned. Here, she unexpectedly saw a strange beast, Pixiu, which only appeared in ancient legends.

She thought that this kind of strange beast would only appear in fairy tale books, imagined by the world, and it was a species that did not exist at all.

Unexpectedly, today she actually saw this magical species, Pixiu, with her own eyes.

"This is Pixiu, a fierce beast."

In the 21st century, Pixiu may be called a lucky beast by people, but it is just that they have never seen the real Pixiu, and they only know that Pixiu has the ability to swallow treasures but get out, so they are offered by businessmen as gods and spirits.

In ancient myths and stories, it is mentioned more than once that Pixiu is vicious and devours everything, causing the people to be miserable and the order of the world to be chaotic.

Apparently, Bai Wenhao and Lao Ba didn't know the story of Pixiu, they were just curious about why this strange beast radiates a golden aura.

Miaoyin said: "Pixiu is different from other ferocious beasts. What it likes to eat most is not meat, but gold and jade. Look at the color of their fur. There must be a gold mine in the Mahuang Mountain Range. Pixiu swallows gold and it looks golden. Swallowing jade It looks jade-colored, these Pixiu are all one-water gold, they must have eaten their fill."

Lao Ba was amazed: "So, they only like to eat gold and jade, can't they eat people?"

Miaoyin shook her head: "No, they just prefer to eat gold and jade, but it doesn't mean they don't eat people."
