Chapter 37 Miao Family Inheritance

After sending Fang Changsheng, Miao Changning returned to the valley, went to the study on the second floor, opened the floor panel, and took out two medicine books, one of which was the "Hundred Herbs Classic". This "Hundred Herbs Classic" is like the "Hundred Worms and Poison Classic", and was written by generations of the Miao family.

The "Hundred Herbs Classic" records the shape, medicinal properties, taste, and growth environment of many strange flowers and plants in the world. When Miao Changning and Huangfu Xiu went out to look for medicine, they were not stolen by Gan Shaolong and the "Hundred Worm Poisonous Classic".

Looking at these two ancestral scriptures, Miao Changning had a lot of thoughts. His ancestors were like the legendary Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs. He traveled all over the mountains and valleys of the world, tasted many plants and trees that had not been recorded in the pharmacopoeia of history. He understood the nature of cold, warm, calm and hot grasses, and was beneficial to practicing medicine and saving people, but he also paid a lot of money.

Among the ancestors of the Miao family, two people almost died of poisoning to taste herbs. Huangfu Xiu was diligent and studious. When he went out to collect medicine, he tasted herbs personally, so that the yin and yang were disordered and he could not get pregnant. Even if the Miao family had excellent medical skills, it would not be cured.

After Miao Xiuzhu got married for a year and knew that it was impossible to cure the infertility disease, she wanted to adopt one or two children. When she passed by Anzhou nine years ago, she met a woman dressed in a servant in her twenties, begging with a baby of several months begging. After inquiring, she found out that the baby was still a child from a family in Huangzhou. When her family moved in the chaos, she encountered thieves and robbed her on the road. Her family was killed by thieves, but she and the child were spared.

Miao Xiuzhu and his wife intended to adopt her. The servant named Qing'e was very happy and followed the Miao couple to the Medicine King Valley. When they returned to the valley, they were snowing and named Miao Kexue.

When Miao Changning saw Miao Xiuzhu and his wife adopted Miao Kexue, she also treated Miao Kexue like her granddaughter. Perhaps because Miao and his wife were too spoiled, Miao Kexue was extremely willful and unreasonable. She cried and made her feel sick after she was not satisfied, which made Miao Changning very troubled.

For more than ten days, he observed Chang Qingqing's words and deeds, but he was sensible and polite. When he saw her sadness about Gan Shaolong's death, the other party Changsheng was reluctant to part with him. Knowing that she was a kind person, he wanted Miao Xiuzhu and his wife to take Chang Qingqing as their adopted daughter. Thinking of this, he called Miao Xiuzhu and his wife to the study.

"Your Grandpa An has passed away for two months. Qing'e is not busy with some miscellaneous things in the valley. Fortunately, Qingqing brought Uncle Yuan and had more helpers to make some herbs dry and store. Uncle Yuan is not as familiar with the principles of herb storage after all, Grandpa An is not as familiar with the principles of herb storage. Xiuzhu, you should teach Uncle Yuan more." It turned out that the old man surnamed An had passed away.

Miao Xiuzhu nodded quickly when she heard this. Miao Changning looked at the two scriptures on the table, sighed and said, "Oh, my father promised Mr. Chu that he was not from my Miao family, so he would not pass on the medical skills of this scripture. The hundred insects and poison scriptures record the toxin extraction techniques of many poisonous insects in the world, and also record the method of rescue. It is passed to the good man to save the world and save people. When it is passed to the evil man, it is harmful to others. Therefore, when choosing the successor, you must be very cautious, just like Liu Gongwen..."

After pausing, his eyes turned to Huangfu Xiu, "Xiu'er, you didn't listen to your father's words at the beginning... Oh, forget it, the descendants should pay attention to their ancestors in the future and should not try herbs."

Huangfu Xiu looked at Miao Xiuzhu with shame and nodded. Miao Changning shook his head helplessly, stood up and took out a medicine book with the cover of the "Miscellaneous Treatise on All Herbs" from the bookcase. He opened the medicine book and took out two folded yellowed paper pages from it. "This is the "Qianji San" prescription that Mr. Chu had not destroyed at the beginning. I practiced medicine to save people in the Medicine King Valley, but I accidentally harmed Mr. Chu... I wanted to destroy this recipe, but I thought that this prescription was still hard work, but I was reluctant to leave. Remember, if it were not for me, the Miao family, I would not pass it on in the future."

"And..." Miao Changning seemed to be worried and pondered for a moment: "Although Ke Xue is not your biological son, I treat you like my granddaughter. Unfortunately, I am arrogant and willful, and I am not the one who inherits my Miao family's medical skills."

Miao Xiuzhu and his wife were shocked. After looking at each other, Miao Xiuzhu said in panic: "It's all because of the incompetent teaching of the child, I hope my father can calm down."

Miao Changning waved his right hand and said slowly: "This is not all the fault of you and your wife... When a person is born in the mother's body for six months, his spiritual consciousness has been born, and his mother's joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness can also be felt by the fetus. If the mother is jealous, the child's nature is mostly the same. Haha, this is what is called nature."

"I think it was because of Ke Xue's biological mother's misfortune when she was pregnant with her, so she was moody, which led to Ke Xue's personality being the same, but it was also related to your usual teachings. Don't follow her willfulness in the future, but it will hurt her."

"For my father, Qingqing can escape from Liu Gongwen, which shows that she is extremely intelligent, courageous, and concentration are beyond the ordinary children. She is a young and has feelings and righteousness. She is a good medical expert. I want you to accept her as a daughter. What do you think?"

The couple was surprised when they heard this. They were stunned, but their faces looked happy. Miao Xiuzhu said happily: "But according to father's arrangement, if Qingqing can agree, the children will be very happy." This statement is true. The couple knew that Chang Qingqing's parents were both dead, so they had this idea.

"Then you two ask Qingqing what she meant. If you agree, I will teach her the medical skills above these two scriptures to her. It is not contrary to the promise that Mr. Chu would not pass on the oath of outsiders. As for Ke Xue... I will first pass on the martial arts and move the mind method, and then talk about the medical skills after her temperament has stabilized."

Miao Xiuzhu and his wife smiled bitterly again, knowing that Miao Changning did not dislike Miao Kexue, but as Miao Changning said, with Miao Kexue's moody and unpredictable personality, this is not the time to inherit medical skills.

The two of them retreated, and Huangfu Xiu took Chang Qingqing to the edge of the stream in front of the yard, squatted down, sorted out the two braids hanging on Chang Qingqing's shoulders, and smiled and said, "Qingqing is much taller than when she saw it in that small temple half a year ago, and she is also much more beautiful and charming."

When Gan Shaolong took Chang Qingqing to stay in the mountain temple, Huangfu Xiu and his wife had also seen Chang Qingqing.

Chang Qingqing smiled shyly with Shui Lingling's eyes open. Huangfu Xiu touched her little face lovingly and said softly: "Auntie knows that your changes in recent years are so difficult for you...Do you miss your parents?"

Chang Qingqing bit his lips and nodded, "I want to think about it, but I also want to adoptive father..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were already wet. Huangfu Xiu sighed and hugged her into his arms, gently patting her little back that was trembling due to sobs, "Wouldn't that be your parents?"

Chang Qingqing should have not felt the maternal love for a long time. At this time, he only felt Huangfu Xiu embracing the gentleness and consideration of his mother Xu. In an instant, the sadness and pain surged in his heart for nearly a year. He couldn't help but burst into tears and burst into tears. Huangfu Xiu was kind by nature, but he felt sadness in his arms, but he felt tears wet his eyes.

After a long time, Chang Qingqing left Huangfu Xiu's hug and wiped his tears. Seeing Huangfu Xiu's eyes with tears, he wanted to use his sleeve to help Huangfu Xiu wipe, but Huangfu Xiu held his little hand: "Did you understand what Auntie said just now?"

Chang Qingqing was stunned and then realized that Huangfu Xiu wanted to accept himself as his adopted daughter. He immediately asked, "Then... will he call Miao Qingqing in the future?"

Huangfu Xiu was also stunned and smiled again, "That's natural, why? You don't want to change your surname?"

Chang Qingqing came to the Medicine King Valley for nearly half a month and felt the kindness of Miao Changning and others. She was also willing to accept Miao Xiuzhu and his wife as their adopted daughter. But knowing that their brother Changshan is still in the world, he was unwilling to change his name and surname, for fear of mistakenly recognizing each other in the future. He nodded immediately and told Huangfu Xiu what he was thinking about.

Huangfu Xiu sighed again after hearing this, "Qingqing is so sensible, I think her father will not care about this surname issue. Okay, then does Qingqing want to change her words now?"

Chang Qingqing burst into tears and laughed when she heard this. After hesitating for a moment, she finally called "Mother" sweetly and felt something again, and tears fell.

Huangfu Xiu smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, good daughter." But he hugged Chang Qingqing into his arms.

When Miao Changning learned that Chang Qingqing agreed, he was very happy and chose an adoption ceremony to hold an auspicious day. He actually invited hunters from around him to attend the banquet, which shows how happy he was.

After practicing the Miao family's "Zhoutian Gong" every day at Chang Qingqing, she took her to the mountains to identify herbs and identify medicines, and taught the art of catching poisonous insects. Chang Qingqing was very diligent, coupled with her extraordinary courage and rapid progress, which greatly amazes Miao Changning.

One morning after more than a month, a group of people suddenly came from the valley. The leader was a middle-aged scholar with a handsome face and about forty years old. Three children of fourteen or fifteen years old, seven young men in their twenties, and more than ten men in their erect costumes. Miao Changning, who wanted to bring Changqingqing to the mountains to collect herbs, was stunned. Looking at the crowd standing outside the bamboo wall, when he was puzzled, the scholar bowed his hand and said, "Jiang Qiubai, a Taibai Academy, met the Master Miao Gu."

"Taibai Academy?" Miao Changning was stunned. When he went to the academy to seek help from Chu Nanfeng that day, he walked quickly and never saw Jiang Qiubai. After hearing this, he bowed and returned the gift: "A rare guest, a rare guest."

He hurriedly opened the bamboo door and led Jiang Qiubai into the courtyard. He didn't know Jiang Qiubai's purpose for a moment. He looked at the people outside the bamboo fence and said, "Is Mr. Chu good?"

"Thank you for your concern to the Lord of the Valley. The Lord of the Mountain left the hospital and went to find Princess Ma."

Miao Changning was silent for a moment when he heard this. He had been worried about Liu Gongwen's harm to Ma Xilan.

"This time I came here on the order of the Marquis, so I asked Master Miao Gu to help." Jiang Qiubai made clear his intentions.

"Marquis?" Miao Changning was puzzled for a moment.

Jiang Qiubai nodded, "Governor of Chanzhou, Marquis of Taiyuan County, Marquis Guo Rong and Marquis of Guo."

Seeing Miao Changning becoming increasingly puzzled, Jiang Qiubai explained his intentions in detail. It turned out that Min Zhenghua was entrusted by Guo Rong to prepare a batch of "marching pills" in the academy and took Cheng Rou to the Guo Rong Prefecture in Chanzhou. Guo Rong was very happy to see his master Min Zhenghua coming. When Min Zhenghua wanted to return, he tried his best to keep him. He only hoped that Min Zhenghua could stay and help. Unfortunately, Min Zhenghua had no intention of the career and refused. Guo Rong had no choice but to ask Min Zhenghua to bring some soldiers in the army to teach Qihuang's skills.

At that time, there were many wars, and it was even hard to find a military Chinese medicine official. Although Min Zhenghua was also aware of the art of Qihuang, he was not good at trauma of swords and arrows, and some herbs were very lacking. Thinking of Chu Nanfeng's mention of the Lord of Medicine King Valley and knowing that there were all kinds of herbs in the valley, he introduced Miao Changning to Guo Rong. When Guo Rong learned about it, he entrusted Jiang Qiubai to come to the Yaowang Valley and his party.

Miao Changning was silent for a moment when he heard the purpose of Jiang Qiubai and his group. However, he wanted to treat the doctor's parents and should save lives and heal the wounded, but he was unwilling to get involved in the official career. After Liu Gongwen's incident, he was very rigorous in choosing disciples, but he was still in terms of character. Moreover, he did not want to spread the Miao medical skills easily.

I also thought that the world was the king's land. As a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I was afraid that I could not refuse, so I couldn't help but hesitate. But Jiang Qiubai smiled and said, "The Marquis knew the rules of collecting disciples in the world, so he dared not make things difficult for Master Miao. I just hope that Master Gate teaches detoxification and avoidance of the office, and only the sword and arrow trauma therapy."

At this point, Miao Changning knew that it was difficult to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Even if Mr. Guo has high expectations, I will not be able to refuse."

He looked at the people outside the courtyard, then looked around the bamboo building in the courtyard, and smiled bitterly, "Just..."

Jiang Qiubai thought that he understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "There are ten students in this group. The Marquis was afraid of disturbing the valley master's cultivation, so he ordered Jiang to find a place nearby to build a wooden house to avoid affecting the valley master's family's rest."

"The Marquis is so kind to Miao, which makes Miao feel ashamed." Miao Changninglu didn't expect Guo Rong to make this arrangement, but felt moved.

Jiang Qiubai turned to the people outside the courtyard and pointed to the three children standing at the gate of the courtyard. "These three children are talented and kind. Two of them are students of the academy. The tallest figure on the left is Yan Qiu, the one on the right is Gong Shaowen, and the young man in the middle is Zhao Kuangyi, the younger brother of Commander Zhao in Huazhou. I hope Guzhu will give him more advice in the future."

It turned out that Guo Rong learned that Chu Nanfeng had left the hospital to visit Ma Xilan, and at the same time, he accused the disciples in the hospital to make their own choices, so he asked Jiang Qiubai to go back to the hospital and asked if there were any people who were willing to come to Yaowang Valley to study medicine, so he wanted to reserve talents for the future army. Yan Qiu and Gong Shaowen were very fond of the art of being accustomed to the art of being accused of the Yellow Emperor, so he came happily together.

Miao Changning heard Jiang Qiubai specifically point out the origins of the three children. He knew that he wanted to accept three of them as disciples. He pondered for a moment, "Let's talk about it if you have the fate."

Jiang Qiubai knew that he could not force it, so he stood up and saluted and said, "Then I will thank Master Miao Gu for the Marquis."

After greeting everyone and Miao Guzhu, he took everyone to find a place not far from the bamboo building where Miao Changning lived, preparing to build a wooden house.

The more than ten men in good costumes thought they were specially sent to build wooden houses, including axes, planers, saws and other tools. In the evening, they also built a wooden house for a while. On the next day, they actually built four wooden houses and purchased many daily necessities outside the valley, which seemed to be a long-term living.

At noon on the third day, thinking that everything was arranged, Jiang Qiubai came to the bamboo house courtyard to say goodbye to Miao Changning.

Miao Changning recalled the promise of Chu Nanfeng in Youzhou that day, looking at Changqingqing figure by the stream, and said, "I was very grateful to me when I was rescued by Mr. Chu in Youzhou that day. I wanted to go to thank Qingqing with Qingqing, but today I learned that Mr. Chu was out, so I had to stay for the next day. If Mr. Jiang meets Mr. Chu, please tell me... I said that the little girl who escaped from the evil man Liu Gongwen has arrived in Laoxiao Valley."

Jiang Qiubai didn't know about Chang Qingqing, nor did he know that she was the younger brother Changshan's sister. But after Miao Changning ordered, he nodded and agreed, leaving three children and seven young men, and left with those strong men.

Unfortunately, Chang Qingqing was not around at this time. It would be better to ask who Chu Nanfeng, who cares about his whereabouts, would be. At that time, he would naturally ask Weng Mu and Luo Xiaoyao.

Looking at the ten disciples in front of him, Miao Changning smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and called Miao Xiuzhu, "These children will mostly travel to the military in the future. Now you can first teach me the screening of herbs such as the marching powder to prevent the fever and the Jinchuang medicine... As for the pharmacology and production, we will teach slowly. There are many of these prescriptions in the mountains. You can take them into the mountains to identify herbs and identify medicines."

Miao Xiuzhu's medical skills are already very good, so these prescriptions are naturally taught by hand. After being in the valley for a long time, she has nowhere to use her skills. In vain, she has ten disciples who are happy. He smiles when he hears this, "Children obey the order."

After saying that, he excitedly led everyone into the mountains to collect herbs. Looking at her husband who looked like a child, Huangfu Xiu couldn't help but chuckled.

Chang Qingqing and Miao Kexue are mentally conscious and picking herbs and practicing martial arts all day long, but they feel dry and impatient. At this time, there are ten older children, and they are naturally happy. In their spare time, they catch birds and fish with Zhao Kuangyi, Yan Qiu and others, and they are very happy. Miao Changning is originally quiet, but he is not restrained when he sees his two granddaughters.

During a period of time, I observed Yan Qiu, Zhao Kuangyi, and Gong Shaowen secretly, and realized that these three people were talented. Considering that they were from Taibai Academy and the court, they had a root and a foundation, and were moved by Chu Nanfeng's grace to save his life in Youzhou, they thought of teaching medical skills. I thought that as long as the poison technique was not passed on to the hundred insect poison scriptures, it would be fine, not to mention that the two granddaughters were young, if they were in trouble in the future, someone would take care of them. Thinking of this, I instructed Miao Xiuzhu to take the three of them as disciples.

In mid-June, Jiang Qiubai, who was less than twenty days away from the valley, came to the Medicine King Valley with several guards. On this day, Miao Changning and Changqing went into the mountains to collect herbs. Seeing that he was very anxious, Miao Xiuzhu called the eagle "Cangmang" to send a message to Miao Changning in the mountains.

Miao Changning and Chang Qingqing hurried back. When they saw Jiang Qiubai, they were surprised. Before he could ask, Jiang Qiubai explained his future intentions.

It turned out that the border troops in the northwest prefectures and prefectures suddenly suffered a plague. At first, the military Chinese medicine officials thought it was typhoid fever and treated it with the "Si Ni Decoction". Unexpectedly, it did not work. Many officers and soldiers were curled up with coldness, vomited continuously, and were exhausted. Twenty or thirty people died in five or six days. The border commander felt bad, so they urgently reported to the Bianjing court.

Emperor Guo Wei of the Later Zhou Dynasty sent an imperial physician to the scene, but he was helpless. After Guo Rong learned about it, he ordered Jiang Qiubai to come to the Yaowang Valley and asked Miao Changning to go for treatment.

After hearing this, Miao Changning pondered for a long time, thinking that the Prefecture was located in a fortress, and was naturally dangerous across the Yellow River. There was no severe drought or war at this point, and it was probably a cholera epidemic. However, Jiang Qiubai had to come from the border, and the description of the condition of the officers and soldiers was just rough. He thought that it would be necessary to go to the Prefecture in person. He was careful, fearing that the herbs in the border military camp were incomplete, so he ordered Miao Xiuzhu to prepare various stored herbs and prepare them on a carriage to carry them. Before Jiang Qiubai rushed to the Prefecture and State.

After coming to the tent of the isolated soldiers in the prefecture and checking the soldiers' pulse symptoms, Miao Changning was shocked and immediately asked Jiang Qiubai to ask people to find out the source of the water, and at the same time, soldiers were strictly prohibited from taking water and drinking again.

It turned out that he had discovered that the poison in these soldiers was the "Chaoxi San" of the Medicine King Valley. This "Chaoxi San" is a type of herb in the Chinese Herbs. It is made of poisonous weeds called "Chaoyang Grass" and some herbs. It is named "Chaoxi San" that means that if you are poisoned in the morning and die in the evening.

The person who used poison diluted it in water to reduce the toxicity and prevent people from dying immediately. The poison of insects was added to the purpose of spreading and spreading the epidemic and causing the military and civilians in the prefectures. Few people know this formula of "spreading day and night". Miao Changning vaguely guessed that it should be done by Liu Gongwen, and was shocked.

More than 20 days after the outbreak of the poison, more than 100 soldiers died, and more than a thousand were infected. Fortunately, the defense envoy of the prefecture and prefecture was quarantined in time, and the poisonous epidemic spread to the city.

Although Miao Changning was considerate, he did not expect that the soldiers were poisonous and had to prepare an antidote. However, there were several kinds of herbs included in the herbs he brought. He had to take the soldiers from the army to collect them on the nearby mountains. It was only five days later that the antidote was produced, which relieved the danger of the poison and epidemic.
