Chapter 879

   This was a meal that Xu Guangling enjoyed very much.

  Aura surrounds me, scent lingers in my nose, and I am facing a person who can communicate professionally.

   Although, under the current circumstances, their communication is limited to:

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

   and so on.

  After dinner, Gan Congshi took Xu Guangling for a walk in the medicine garden, which was considered as a digestion.

   But this time, I didn’t just walk casually, but had a fixed goal.

  Gan Congshi took Xu Guangling to the side of a small soil slope. On the small soil **** with about ten acres of land, there was only one kind of plant, a kind of tree with less obvious characteristics.

   There are big and small.

  The big one needs to be hugged by one person, and the small one is not as thick as a finger.

   "Wa'er, you pull one and take a look." Gan Congshi said with a mysterious smile.

   So Xu Guangling did just that.

   Then, he played the two-person turn smoothly in cooperation with him. Inadvertently, he brought the plucked tree root close to his nose, and said in surprise: "Senior Gan, this is what we ate just now..."

  If the mirror is not asleep.

  If it wasn't so cold.

   At this time, it will most likely laugh at a great master who pretends to be stupid and cute.

   "Yes! That's the one!" Gan Cong-style stroked his short beard and smiled with relief, "Wa'er, let me tell you, a lot of herbs are for eating. How about this, isn't it delicious?"

   "Delicious!" Xu Guangling nodded vigorously.

   "This herb is called 'Fragrant Root Tree'." Gan Cong entered into the explanation mode:

   "Its roots are fragrant and slightly sweet. It can be used to make soup. Like the one we just ate, we can use it for stewing meat. Any kind of meat can be stewed. It is delicious."

   "You can also use this root to cook directly, boil water to drink, and drink a bowl every morning, it has the effect of clearing the intestines, warming the body, and invigorating qi."

"Its roots are fragrant, but upwards, its branches are bitter, especially bitter, and its bark is not only bitter, but also astringent. If you accidentally bite it, it will make your The whole mouth was bitter and astringent for a long time, even if I tried to rinse my mouth with water, I couldn't get rid of it."

   "What about its leaves?" Xu Guangling shook the small sapling in his hand and held it at the right time.

   "Leaves, nothing special, just like the leaves of other trees." Gan Cong said.

   Xu Guangling nodded.

   Xu Guangling's study here in Gancong style started like this.

Next, the old and the young worked together, dug up a few fragrant root trees and brought them back, a large one with a diameter of about five centimeters, a medium one with a diameter of about three centimeters, and then two centimeters and one centimeter, several tree.

After    returned, it was Xu Guangling who did it himself.

   First, under the guidance of Gan Cong style, use a small saw to cut off the root of the vetiver tree, leaving only the root.

"Wa'er, do you see, here is the root of the tree, here is the trunk, the difference between the two parts is not very obvious, but you can still see a little difference, right?" , Gan Congshi led Xu Guangling to observe carefully.

   "Be sure to cut it off well, and don't leave the trunk part on the root, otherwise the incense root will be useless and can't be used."

   "It's also best not to cut too much, because the most useful part of this fragrant root is the part closest to the trunk."

   This is actually a kind of self-protection for plants, like putting the most important items or money in a safe.

  This tree, because the root is fragrant and rich in nutrients, is easy to attract ants, so it enriches the nutrients in the upper part of the root, the part closest to the trunk, in this way to protect itself.

   Then it has a lot of roots, probably want to tell those ants that can't avoid it, tell them, even if you eat, eat these roots of mine, don't touch the tap root!

   Is this, "giving up wealth to avoid disaster"?

   Gan Cong said that the leaves of this tree have no special characteristics, but it is not true, because it is also rich in nutrients.

But the leaves are accompanied by branches and bark, the wild beasts of nature, such as wild sheep and bison, if you want to eat the leaves of this tree, "take a bite", then they will be like walking into a children's paradise, experiencing Roller coaster experience.

  The leaves are delicious, more delicious than the leaves of other trees.

but!

   Then, Nima, what is this?

so bitter!

   So astringent!

   And the bitterness extends from the branches and bark to the stems and main veins of the leaves!

  This is a dead sheep and a dead cow.

   They will desperately shake their heads, open their mouths and stick out their tongues, and then rush to the river to drink water desperately, but even if they stretch their stomachs, they will not be able to relieve the heavy bitterness in their mouths.

   So this kind of tree was included in the "grey list" by them.

   Unless there are really no other leaves to eat, the leaves of this tree cannot be eaten!

   In Xu Guangling's view, this is a plant that has evolved quite well. From its roots, to stems to branches, to bark to leaves, it has been incorporated into a reasonable component distribution chain.

   In this sense, this tree already has a considerable "intelligence".

   In other words, this is a smart tree.

   In medicinal herbs, if the stars are used to classify the grades, it can be classified into the five stars of the highest grade.

If this kind of tree is erected on the eye of the Yuan Gathering Spirit Gathering Array, its upper limit will be very high. Mutation.

   Using the concept of elixir, this tree can be synthesized:

   "Peiyuan Dan", the root of the root is simply taken from the root.

   "Qi Xing Dan", on the basis of nourishing and replenishing qi, activates qi and blood, and takes its roots and leaves.

   "Xishui Dan", combined with other herbs, makes its medicinal properties penetrate deep into the bone marrow through qi and blood, and then pass through the bone and purify the marrow.

  …

   can also be extended to many other aspects.

   All in all, this "fragrant root tree" is not only of great benefit to ordinary people, but even to cultivators, it is also a kind of good medicine like panacea, which can be widely used in the stages of condensing qi, opening the pulse and opening the body.

   Even after entering the ground level, you can also use the "Bigu Dan" prepared from this tree to cleanse the body and nourish the body.

   In the blink of an eye, Xu Guangling established a detailed file of this fragrant root tree in the medicinal herb library in his mind, and listed it as the "main medicine".

The so-called main medicine, here in Xu Guangling, is the medicine worthy of special cultivation with the eyes of the Juyuan Juling Great Array. and dragon fruit etc.

  The screen shifts to the current scene.

  The first step is to cut the root.

  How to most properly separate the roots and stems, Xu Guangling has "learned" with Gan Congshi's tireless explanation.

   Then there is the cleaning.

   There is nothing to say about this step, just wash it directly like washing vegetables. There is not much particularity, and you are not afraid of scratching and rubbing. Even those many small whiskers can be ripped off a lot.

  After washing, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, do not expose to the sun.

  After dealing with these, it is time to go back to the house.

   At this time, Gan Congshi asked Xu Guangling to paint, and only painted this fragrant root tree.

  This time I'm painting all of it, its stem, its bark, its branches, its leaves, and its roots.

   When Xu Guangling finished his painting, Gan Congshi also handed him a piece of paper he had just written:

   "Fragrant Root Tree".

   "It is used at the root to strengthen the body and replenish qi. It can be worn for a long time, and it is of great benefit to the practitioners."

   "The branches are bitter and the skin is astringent, causing a sore throat and a little poison."

   After inspecting Xu Guangling's new drawings and confirming that there are no mistakes, Gan Congshi took out another type of paper from the house, which was obviously more formal and more upscale.

   It was the same paper as a primary school student's workbook. On one page, two pages were divided into left and right pages.

   Gan Cong Shi asked Xu Guangling to draw the shape of the fragrant root tree on the left page, and asked him to write the line on the right page.

   This is what Gan Congshi taught Xu Guangling, the first herbal medicine.
