Chapter 38 Copying Books in the Partial Temple
In a side hall of the Danding Palace, Feng Yun was sitting in front of the table and writing hard.
Things go back to a month ago.
"Senior sister, there is indeed something here that needs your help." Li Mujin said with some embarrassment.
Feng Yun replied, "Senior Sister Li, but it's okay to talk about it. ”
"That's the case, you also know that our Lingtai sect has a great cause, how can there be less medicine scriptures and medical books, but only a small part of them are precious enough to be preserved with jade slips, most of them are recorded on ordinary books, although the book building is arranged with a magic circle that prevents insects and moisture, but it is inevitable that it will be damaged, and with the study of the elixir, the corresponding annotations on the book are becoming more and more messy, and it is easy to make mistakes if you don't pay attention to it, so we are going to copy these ordinary books again."
Saying that, Li Mujin's smile became bitter: "But the problem comes out, my Danding Hall is already understaffed, where can I draw someone to copy the book, go to the Reward and Punishment Hall and issue a reward, and the person who came can't stand it and give up after two days of copying, so ......"
After hearing this, Feng Yun replied nonchalantly: "So Senior Sister hopes that I can help the Danding Hall copy the book?" No problem. But isn't there a lot of children in the Lingtai Sect, why not use them? ”
Seeing Feng Yun's promise, Li Mujin's eyes brightened again, and he replied: "It's not that you don't use it, it's that you can't use it, these boys can't read at all, how can they copy books." ”
Seeing Feng Yun's puzzled expression, Li Mujin paused before he said clearly: "Senior Brother Feng thinks that all the people who enter my Lingtai Sect will teach him to read and read words?" That's a qualification that only those who have the opportunity to become a full-fledged disciple have. In a few years, our Lingtai Sect will adopt some poor children and orphans from the ordinary people who can't afford to eat, so that they can live, and all those with some qualifications will become registered disciples, and the rest will become miscellaneous boys. ”
Feng Yun nodded slightly understandingly: "I see." When did the copying begin? ”
"As long as Senior Brother Feng arranges his own affairs, the sooner the better."
Feng Yun said with a smile: "I don't have anything to arrange, it's okay to start now." ”
So Feng Yun followed Li Mujin to a side hall in the Danding Palace.
"This ......" Feng Yun was dumbfounded as soon as he came in. thought that there were only a few bookshelves, but looking at the mountains of books in front of him, Feng Yun felt that he was wrong.
Li Mujin was also a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice after coughing lightly: "There are many incurable diseases in this world, and the prescriptions are even more strange, so this is the number...... But Senior Brother Feng rest assured! It's not that you have to finish copying it alone, we will also offer a reward to ask other disciples to help, and the disciples of our Medicine Hall and Danding Hall will also come to copy it as long as they are free. ”
The corners of Feng Yun's eyes twitched, but there was no way, after all, Li Mujin had helped him so much before, how could he refuse this little thing.
After Li Mujin finished telling him the request for copying, Feng Yun sat down in front of the table and began to polish the ink. Seeing that Feng Yun began to copy, Li Mujin did not bother, and quietly left the side hall, as the senior sister of the Danding Palace, she was a busy person.
This copy was copied for nearly a month. In the middle, many disciples who received the bounty task came one after another, but the content was really boring and there were many of them, and it was difficult to be distracted during the copying, so they gave up the task after a long time. And the disciples who were already cultivating and studying in the Medicine Hall or the Danding Hall would occasionally come to copy some, including Li Mujin, unlike her lively and cheerful personality, Li Mujin's words were quite subtle and subtle, which made Feng Yun joke in his heart.
After staying in the Danding Hall for a long time, there are a lot more opportunities to chat with Li Mujin, and the two of them talk about Zhang Shi the most, Feng Yun also saw that Li Mujin secretly had feelings for Zhang Shi, and he also felt that the two were very compatible, and couldn't help but wish for the two, but at present, it seems that these two people are still ruthless.
Except for Li Mujin, Feng Yun saw the old man who was sitting at the table not far away at this time, copying books, and it was no wonder that Feng Yun noticed him every time, mainly because the old man was wearing a black and white elder's robe. At first, Feng Yun hurriedly got up to salute, but the elder said to him: "You don't need to be polite here, let's copy the book." ”
The two basically didn't speak, and Feng Yun didn't even know what the elder's surname was, only that he would always pick the time when the others were busiest in the afternoon to come here and copy a book for an hour or two, which couldn't help but make Feng Yun suspect that this elder was here to be lazy.
Today is no exception, Feng Yun is copying a book called "Strange Flower Spirit Plant Record" at this time, this book records many strange and strange flowers and plants, which is very interesting, which makes Feng Yun can't help but think of the time when he was looking for strange miscellaneous books in the library building to relieve boredom in his previous life.
"There is a kind of wood in Zhongzhou, which can grow up to eight feet, and eats meat. Its leaves are tough and toothy, can break the skin and flesh, and are highly poisonous. It can bear fruit all year round, its fruit is shaped like a ball of meat, the juice is like blood, emitting bloody flesh and blood, and it is also highly poisonous. The most peculiar thing about this tree is that it has holes in its trunk, which can imitate the cries for help of people or beasts to attract prey when exposed to wind. So some people named it the Demon Wood of the Tongue. After reading this record, Feng Yun suddenly laughed out loud as if he had a thought.
In the side hall where there were only two people, this laughter couldn't help but break the silence, and the pen in the elder's hand couldn't help but stop and look up at Feng Yun.
"Yes." Feng Yun secretly said that it was not good. Then the elder asked, "Why are you laughing?" ”
The voice was neither happy nor angry, and Feng Yun could hardly hear the elder's emotions, so he had to stand up and say truthfully: "Please forgive the elder, the disciple is copying this "Strange Flower Spirit Plant Record", the content of which is really interesting, and I can't help laughing. ”
The elder frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said, "The old man remembers that most of the strange flowers and plants recorded in this book are weird and cruel, what can make you laugh?" ”
Feng Yun scratched his head embarrassedly and replied, "Elder Hui, the tongue-learning demon wood recorded in it reminds the disciples that there are traders in the world, and they will use a tongue-learning bird to attract guests. The disciple thought that if he could remove the toxicity of this tongue demon wood, and then teach it a sentence of 'fortune and treasure' at the door of the store, wouldn't it be a prosperous business. "This tongue bird is naturally what he heard when the soldiers of the Yinyan Army were chatting, he almost never left the barracks when he was young, he was very curious about the outside world, and he couldn't help but remember these interesting stories when he heard them.
The elder couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "You have some wonderful ideas. However, this tongue demon wood is very toxic, which is so easy to remove. With that, he picked up his pen and prepared to continue copying the book.
But Feng Yun tilted his head slightly and his eyes lit up after recalling for a while, and he muttered happily: "This tongue demon wood is only poisonous with leaf fruits, it is better to select several generations of the least toxic ones and culture them with the blood of flat-toothed koalas, and then take the seedlings and use the continuous bud grafting method in the "Yuan's Wood Classic", the first generation and the red nine wood, the second generation and the tail wood... Finally, with the ground milk, if you can produce a juicy ground milk fruit like a bopo fruit all year round, wouldn't it..."Thinking about Feng Yun's saliva was about to drip down.
He spoke quietly, but it could not escape the ears of the elder, and the pen that the elder had just written two words stopped in the air again. At first listen, Chang Lao didn't care, but after thinking about it carefully, although the trees Feng Yun said gave people a great difference, they seemed to be unexpectedly affinity, and the possibility of successful grafting was not small, and it was the last milk fruit...... It is useless except for the sweet juice and refreshing flesh.
"Wouldn't it be ...... if we replaced this earth milk fruit with a red jade fruit that can improve cultivation" Thinking that the elder also began to move, he couldn't help but look at Feng Yun.
Feng Yun also realized that he was a little out of shape, and when he saw that the elder ignored him and was thinking about something, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and slowly sat down and continued to copy the "Strange Flower Spirit Plant Record".
With this experience, every time the elder came to the side hall to copy the book, he would ask Feng Yun one or two questions, some Feng Yun had read it in the book, and some Feng Yun couldn't answer it, but no matter what the result was, the elder was not happy or angry, as if nothing had happened, which made Feng Yun scratch his head.
On this day, Feng Yun had just finished copying a book when he heard Li Mujin's voice: "Senior Brother Feng has worked hard. ”
When I looked up, I saw that Li Mujin still had a smile on her face, but she was a little tired, and she approached the side hall with her shoulders hammered, looking very tired.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, how is my senior sister doing?" Feng Yun put down his pen and said hello.
Li Mujin muttered at the corner of his mouth: "What's good, I've been helping the master run errands for the past few days, but he himself is nowhere to be seen, and it is not until today that he finally takes a breath." ”
Hearing this, Feng Yun's brows jumped, and he felt that something was wrong, because he saw that the elder sitting in the corner of the side hall raised his head, and he came in from outside the hall just in time to see that position.
Sure enough, the elder put down his pen and said in a deep voice, "Then have you done your business?" ”
Li Mujin was startled, and hurriedly turned around like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and when she saw the elder, she couldn't help but say with a weak heart: "...... Master, why are you here? ”
Feng Yun was also taken aback, he thought that this elder was just an ordinary elder in the Danding Palace, but he didn't expect it to be Li Mujin's master and the steward of the Danding Palace.
"I come here every day to copy books, and you haven't answered me yet." The elder still looked unhappy or angry, but looking at Li Mujin's appearance, he didn't seem to be very angry.
Li Mujin jumped to the elder's side with a smile, and said while hammering the elder's shoulder: "The apprentice is out of the horse, naturally it is done, the master is really clever, Elder Li Fei went to fifty percent of the true yuan to ripen it, but I didn't expect that the grafted red jade wood buds really grew fruit buds, although they have not yet grown, but Elder Li said that they should be fine." It's a shame that you can always think of using that disgusting and meat-eating tongue demon wood as a rootstock, in addition to its toxicity. ”
Hearing the name of "Learning Tongue Demon Wood", Feng Yun's head was a little dizzy, he swore that he was just talking nonsense on a whim that day, but he didn't expect this elder to really try it after hearing it.
"It's not what the old man thinks, it's what he thinks." After saying that, the elder nodded at Feng Yun with his chin.
