The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 515

Not long after Fengyao and Xiaoqing returned to the Buddhist hall in the back mountain, Xiuyuan came again with a cage on his back.After opening it, there was no pen and paper inside, but an ebony incense burner, a small silver bowl, a small porcelain vase, and a slender wooden box.

Feng Yao knew the function of the incense burner, but he didn't know about other things.Especially the slender wooden box, which looks like agarwood, but its color is black and shiny, and it doesn't have too strong aroma, and I don't know what is inside.

Seeing Feng Yao's curiosity, Xiu Yuan first opened the wooden box and placed it in front of Feng Yao.There was a slight smile on his face, but it was very peaceful, and he couldn't see the meaning of the smile.

Fengyao and Xiaoqing looked at the things in the wooden box, but their hearts shrank.I saw several long needle-like objects in the wooden box. Although the sizes were slightly different, they were all much thicker than the longest silver needles used by the doctor for acupuncture.And pick it up to have a look, it turned out to be hollow, the needle is a sharp-edged bevel.

Xiuyuan explained: "This is used to puncture blood. With a normal needle prick, the blood will coagulate soon after it drips out. This kind of needle is tempered with a special drug. After the puncture, the blood is put into this silver bowl Here, but the time of half a stick of incense does not condense."

After a pause, he added: "This needle can automatically control the blood volume. According to the size of the needle, the bleeding volume will be different. When the blood volume is reached, it will stop automatically. Master specially asked Master Feng to use the smallest size and take it every day. One blood is enough."

Feng Yao felt chills when he heard this, but he still nodded.Since it is something I promised myself, and I have a sincere heart, then I have to stick to it to the end.

Xiao Qing's expression changed after hearing this, she looked at the long needle and then at Feng Yao, she gently pulled Feng Yao's sleeve, and shook her head.

Feng Yao smiled and shook his head, signaling Xiao Qing not to be too nervous.Then he asked: "What's in that porcelain bottle? And how is it used?"

Seeing that Feng Yao's face had changed, but his tone was still calm, Xiu Yuan continued: "This bottle contains finely ground gold powder. There is also a special medicine added to it, which can fix the color, and it will fade away with age. The scriptures do not rot and their colors do not fade."

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the cork of the porcelain bottle and showed it to Feng Yao.The cork is very interesting. After it is pulled out, there is a small silver spoon embedded in it, which can hold something the size of a soybean.

Xiuyuan explained: "After taking blood every time, add a spoonful of gold powder into it. No need to stir, just lightly touch with the tip of the pen to let the gold powder disperse, and then you can copy the scriptures."

Feng Yao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and subconsciously looked at his ten spring onion-like fingers as thin and white as jade, smiled and shook his head.

Xiuyuan has always been reticent, but seeing Feng Yao like this, he actually opened his mouth and said: "Feng's benefactor has immeasurable merits and virtues, and he must be blessed by the Buddha. But remember that everything should not be forced, and you must do what you can."

Feng Yao was very moved when he heard that, probably this was the most caring and sincere words that a monk could say.

After Xiu Yuan finished speaking, he saluted Feng Yao and left.

Xiao Qing looked at the things on this table, and then at Feng Yao, her eyes turned red immediately.Holding Feng Yao's hand, he felt distressed and didn't know how to persuade him.

Feng Yao patted Xiaoqing's hand and said, "It's okay, the amount of blood taken every day will not be too large, it's like accidentally cutting a finger, I can bear it."

It's fine if Feng Yao doesn't say anything, but after saying that, the tears in Xiao Qing's eyes simply couldn't be stopped.Drops of tears fell down, and all of them fell on Feng Yao's hands.

Feng Yao pulled up his sleeves to help Xiao Qing wipe away her tears, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "I remember something after you cried, you have to go back to Mofu quickly, and help me do something It’s a matter. This matter probably won’t be done in one or two days, so you just wait and bring me the news.”

Xiaoqing nodded quickly when she heard this: "Master, you can tell. Xiaoqing will definitely do it."

Feng Yao said: "You ask Min'er to find a way to meet Qingping once. Qingping is a smart person, so she doesn't need to talk, she will naturally understand what I mean. Without her help, I'm afraid I will really be stuck here Can't get out."

Xiao Qing asked puzzledly: "Then should I wait for Min'er to come back from the palace, and then I will return, or should I wait until the news that Qingping has made arrangements in the palace?"

Feng Yao thought for a while and said, "Min'er should bring news of Qingping with her when she comes back from the palace. If Qingping doesn't make it clear, then the timing is not right now, and we have to find another opportunity."

Only then did Xiaoqing nod her head and said, "Then I'll go back now. Take care, master."

Feng Yao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xiao Qing knew that what Feng Yao told her to do was also extremely important, so she left without packing anything.

Feng Yao looked at Xiaoqing's back, then looked at the wooden box containing the blood collection needle, shook his head slightly, and put away the things himself.

On the second and third day, Xiaoqing did not come back.Feng Yao knew that it would not take much time to go back and forth to Mo's house, but it was not easy to see Qingping, so he only hoped that Min'er could find a suitable excuse as soon as possible.

During this period, Feng Yao still got up early in the morning to go to the top of the mountain, bathe in the rising sun, and breathe.After I came back, I didn’t eat. I changed my clothes and cleaned my hands before going to copy scriptures.

Feng Yao often does scripture copying, so he is no stranger to it, but when he picked up the blood needle, Feng Yao felt apprehensive for a while.It was the first time that Feng Yao stabbed the index finger of his left hand with a needle, and Feng Yao gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally he stuck the needle with his eyes closed, only feeling a sharp pain.

This kind of pain is very different from Feng Yao cutting his body with a dagger, ten fingers connected to the heart.And this long needle looks much smaller than a dagger, but Feng Yao found that it doesn't work if the needle is too deep or too shallow.You have to find a position close to the top of the phalanx, but not on the fingertips, for blood to flow out.

And it’s not enough to prick it once, the long needle needs to be left in the flesh, and can only be pulled out when the bleeding stops.Even if you don't care about bandaging, you have to quickly add gold powder to it, and quickly copy the scriptures, otherwise the time will pass and the blood will dry up, and the pain will be in vain.

However, after three days, Feng Yao's practice makes perfect, and he was able to bleed with just one needle prick.Then pull out the needle and mix gold powder on the face without changing the color, and sit upright to copy the scriptures.I don't know what kind of medicine was added to the blood-taking needle. When the time is not up, the bleeding will not stop. When the time is up, the blood will stop automatically. Even if you don't bandage it, the wound will heal quickly.

Moreover, Feng Yao discovered that the small silver bowl used to hold blood should also be specially designed, or quenched with medicine.Not only does it not stain blood, but it also allows the last drop of blood to gather at the bottom of the bowl. After being dipped with a brush, it is cleaner than the one washed with a brush, and there is no waste at all.
