Chapter 892: Stalactites
Human nature is to bully the weak and fear the hard, and of course animals will not be an exception, otherwise there would be no allusion to the big fish eating the small fish and the small fish eating the shrimp.
As a very important macaque in Gibraltar, of course, it is also the master of soft and hard, when they encounter a strong enemy, they will choose to flee, and when they encounter weak children, they will also bully, and even chase some naughty children to cry wolf, like a lost dog.
Li Xiaolu's child, when she was very young, was chased by monkeys, it was simply crying and running for her life, although these monkeys could not have killed her, but a lot of fruit fell from the tree, hitting the body was very painful, especially when it hit the brain, the pain was really very bad.
When she was accompanied by a master, she was naturally very happy when she met a group of monkeys, because she could watch the master beat the monkeys, which would make people very happy, and when there was no master with her, Li Xiaolu was very afraid of encountering monkeys, and she didn't even dare to go too deep into the woods, so as not to run away.
Therefore, as a strong person, there are still a lot of benefits, the strong can kill the monkey as they like, and the weak can only be abused by the monkey, as for the adult group, because they have to work, naturally there is no spare time to support the children, many problems need to be faced by themselves, therefore, the strong in the group of children, naturally has been sought after by all the children, is regarded as a hero-like existence, everyone is willing to play with them.
Thinking of what happened to Li Xiaolu when he was a child, Li An recalled what happened to him when he was a child, especially in this life in Datang, although Li An was not wonderful when he was a child, he was definitely a big hero in the eyes of everyone, because Li An practiced martial arts since he was a child, and followed Li An to play in the mountains, he never had to worry about being taken away by wolves, because no wolf could beat Li An, even if the wolves came, they couldn't carry Li An's big knife and spear, and the wolf was not terrible at all, it was simply to send meat, If there were no wolves, it would be unhappy.
"Haha! You! It's so interesting to be chased by monkeys, it's so interesting. ”
Li An looked at Li Xiaolu, laughed and said, paused, and said: "The lifespan of monkeys is very limited, and the monkeys who bullied you back then are estimated to be dead now, and there will not be a few who can survive." ”
Originally, Ang Lee wanted to say that he wanted to avenge Li Xiaolu, but if he thought about it carefully, it was very likely that the monkeys back then were all dead, and what kind of ability was it to bully the descendants of the monkeys.
When Li Xiaolu heard this, she looked a little sad, and said softly: "When I was chased and beaten by monkeys when I was a child, I hated monkeys very much, but now when I think that those monkeys are no longer there, I always feel empty in my heart, and I always feel a little sad." ”
Li An understands Li Xiaolu's feelings very well, this is companionship, although there will be fights between monkeys and children, but these are their childhood memories, with these memories, a person's childhood will not be too boring, if there are no these exciting memories, wouldn't childhood be very boring.
Therefore, when she grows up, when she thinks back to her childhood, Li Xiaolu will feel very relieved, and she will not feel that the monkeys who once bullied her are very annoying, on the contrary, she will feel that these monkeys who bullied her are very cute and a very good childhood memory.
"The baby monkeys may have died, but their descendants survived, and not all of them died, and maybe some survived."
Li An said.
For the lifespan of macaques, Li An is very clear, under normal circumstances, it will not exceed thirty years, of course, if you want to live longer, you need to live under comfortable artificial breeding conditions, monkeys in the wild, the life span is relatively low, generally can live for more than ten years, even if it is very good, and Li Xiaolu has been away from her hometown for more than ten years, so the little monkeys who bullied her back then should be middle-aged and elderly now, and some must be dead.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these little monkeys, let's go to the monkey cave and have a look! It's a great place to cool off. ”
Li Xiaolu said happily.
"Monkey Cave, is it all monkeys at once?"
Li An had never heard that Gibraltar had Shandong, so he asked curiously.
Li Xiaolu replied with a smile: "When someone found this cave before, there were a lot of monkeys in it, but later, people often went in to play, and then, there were basically no monkeys inside, maybe only in the middle of the night when no one was around, the monkeys would run into the cave." ”
Li An nodded thoughtfully, and said, "There is actually a cave inside Gibraltar, which I have really never heard of before!" Looks like we're going to have to go, let's go! ”
The group walked along the rugged mountain road to the entrance of the cave, although the straight distance from the entrance was not far, but the mountain road was rugged, so it took a lot of effort to reach the entrance of the cave.
"Here, Li Shilang, the cave in front of you is it, and it is very beautiful inside."
Li Xiaolu wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and spoke.
Li An took a closer look, the entrance of this cave is really not big, if you stand in the distance, it is difficult to find it at all, in addition, what is inside is not clear to Li An, so he is very curious, plus Li Xiaolu said that the inside is very beautiful, so Li An is even more curious.
Seeing this, several soldiers hurriedly entered the cave first to check for danger, and then Li An could enter safely.
In fact, this is a bit redundant, this cave is often entered, and it is naturally safe inside, in addition, this place only has monkeys and other relatively large wild animals, and the rest of the animals are very small, and there will be no large beasts such as wild wolves and wild boars, so there is no need to worry about safety.
"Li Shilang, it's an empty cave, there's nothing, it's safe, and it's beautiful."
A soldier emerged from the cave and spoke.
Li An nodded, took Li Xiaolu's hand, and stepped into the cave.
As soon as he entered the entrance of the cave, Li An felt a very comfortable cool air, and it could be seen that the temperature in the cave was much lower than the low temperature outside, and it was indeed a good place to cool off.
After walking in, it feels even cooler, and there is no cold at all, it is a very comfortable temperature, which can be understood as the best comfort of the human body.
But then, the scene he saw stunned Li An, this looked like an ordinary stone mountain from the outside, I didn't expect that there was a lot of things in the cave, it would be so beautiful, a large number of stalactites were presented in front of Li An without reservation, and Li An was dazzled to see it, and he was about to lose the distinction between east and west, north and south.
The formation of these stalactites is definitely not something that can be completed overnight, it takes many thousands of years of hard work to achieve results, so the resources of this cave are extremely valuable, and it can be called a treasure given by nature to mankind.
"This cave is really unusual, beautiful enough!"
Ang Lee expressed his heartfelt admiration and tried to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the cave.
"Haha! This is the most interesting place in our hometown, the whole of Gibraltar, just this cave, of course beautiful, and besides, even more beautiful down there? ”
Li Xiaolu said proudly.
Li An was surprised when he heard this, and said: "Why, there is still below, this cave is still layered, amazing!" ”
Li An felt very surprised, paused, and said, "Where is the entrance to the lower floor, let's go down and take a look at the lower floor!" ”
Li Xiaolu said with a smile: "Li Shilang is not in a hurry, let's rest on it first!" It's a bit cold down there, and there's a pretty waterhole. ”
"There's a waterhole down there, haha! It must be beautiful, okay, let's take a good rest here! ”
Li An asked the soldiers to bring Ma Za, shared one with Li Xiaolu, and then sat down in the beautiful cave to rest.
I was really tired from walking the mountain road just now, so I had to take a rest before I had the energy to go to the lower level.
"Xiaolu, do you know the names of these beautiful stones?"
Ang Lee asked.
Li Xiaolu smiled: "It's just some beautiful stones!" Why, the stone also has a name? ”
Li An nodded and said: "Of course, why can't the stone have its own name, the stone must have its own name, remember, this beautiful big guy is called stalactites." ”
"Stalactites? What a strange name, why this name? Any story? ”
Li Xiaolu asked curiously.
Li An thought for a moment and said: "This stone looks very similar to our Datang Bell, so it was given such a name, this stone is not only beautiful, but also can be used as medicinal materials?" It's a rare baby! ”
"Ahh This stone can also be used as a medicinal herb! How is this possible? Li Shilang, don't lie to me. ”
Li Xiaolu couldn't believe that it was unheard of that a beautiful stone could be used as a medicinal herb.
Of course, Li An didn't lie to her, stalactites are a very important natural resource, which can indeed be used in medicine, and can treat many people's problems, for example, it can treat people's five labors and seven injuries, cough and upward qi, cure cold cough, speak voice, bright ears and eyes, light body, make people's skin moisturized, energetic, not easy to age and refine.
It can also soothe the five organs, pass through all diseases, benefit nine thefts, lower **, nourish qi and replenish deficiency, treat weaker pain and cold, lower scorching and exhaustion, and strengthen yin.
If you take it for a long time, it can also promote longevity and make people fertile, which is like a miracle drug, and is very sought after by the world.
For example, for the treatment of all cough diseases, stone stalactites, realgar, Buddha ear grass, coltsfoot flowers can be divided into equal parts, which is the end. For every penny, burn it on the incense burner, blow the smoke into the throat twice a day, and then it can be cured.
If you treat vomiting blood and damaging your lungs, you can train the stalactites into stalactite powder, two dollars per serving, and glutinous rice soup, which can be cured soon.
For women's treatment, because of the lack of qi and blood failure, the pulse is not good, resulting in less milk, you can use stalactites to grind into stalactite powder two coins, and adjust the thick decoction and leakage Lu soup, so that it can be cured.
Regarding the stone stalactite into medicine, many medical books in China since ancient times have a clear record, such as the book "Materia Medica" is recorded very clearly, the stone stalactite, its main cough against the qi, to qi deficiency is not allowed to return to the yuan, hair for the evidence, milk temperature and depression, so that the qi to return to the yuan, then the disease will heal, so the master is also. Through the hundred sections, the nine tricks, the next **, the power of Xin Wen also. Treating weak feet and cold is also a test of the downward movement of yang energy. Zhen Quan is the one who coughs coldly, Xin to disperse evil knots, and warm to dispel the cold.
All kinds of other tonic theories should be the words of the good deeds of the predecessors, and they are not unreasonable and unbelievable. Stone stalactites are pungent and warm, if they are calcined by fire, they are undoubtedly poisonous, and they are undoubtedly poisonous, and they must be examined along the way, and those who are sick and hot are involved. Nine out of ten people in the world are sick with yin deficiency and heat, and one out of 100 people with yang deficiency and internal cold, which is because of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the people who get sick because of taking stalactites are not remembered, and those who take it and get the effect do not listen to one or two, and it can be candlelit in the matter.
In addition, there are treasures of Chinese medical books such as the Treatise on Medicinal Properties, Beilu, Rihuazi Materia Medica, Materia Medica, etc., all of which record the medicinal use of stalactites in detail.
In short, stalactites are not only a very valuable medicinal material, but also a very beautiful stone, which is a gift from nature to mankind.
Under Li An's explanation, Li Xiaolu no longer doubted the correctness of stalactites as medicinal materials, but she still felt a little incredible, after all, stalactites looked like a very ordinary stone, and it was difficult to connect him with medicinal materials anyway.
In fact, what is stalactite, in the eyes of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, any item may be a medicinal material, such as rat feces is something that everyone hates, but it can also be used in medicine, arsenic is highly toxic, and it is also one of the raw materials of some medicinal materials, isn't it scary.
Of course, when these two things like rat feces and arsenic are used in medicine, the requirements for dosage are very high, and you must not add too much, otherwise, something will happen.
"Li Shilang, can I ask you a question?"
Li Xiaolu said.
Li An nodded and said, "Okay, you ask!" I'm listening? ”
Li Xiaolu thought for a moment and said, "These stalactites are all medicinal materials, so how much can they be worth if they are all sold?" ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Ang very naughtily.
Li An was slightly startled, and said: "Xiaolu, how can you get into the eyes of money, these stalactites are so beautiful, why do you want to sell them as medicinal herbs!" What a pity! ”
"I'm just asking, how much is it worth!"
Li Xiaolu still didn't give up and continued to ask.
Li An thought for a moment and said: "Although stalactites are quite precious, however, in our Datang, there are many places where stalactites are located, and the price is not outrageously expensive, it shouldn't be very expensive!" The exact price is known only to the merchant who acquired it! ”
Li Ang really doesn't know the price of stalactites, but there should be a lot of stalactites in the southern mountains of Datang, so they are not extremely rare, and the price will not be too expensive.
