Xu Lai was a frequent visitor to Penglai Water City. Many soldiers recognized him. Seeing that it was Xu Lai, everyone was stunned. At this time, Niu Shenxing, Dugu Wen, Dugu Xiang and others also arrived. The soldiers waved and said, "Everyone is here." Get out." Although Niu Shenxing has no official status, he is the son of the garrison. The soldiers did not dare to offend him. After hearing this, they picked up their companions who were hit by Jiang Shuo and went out together.
Niu Shenxing crossed his hands to Jiang Shuo and said, "Young Master Jiang, I need to report to my father immediately about the Silla Golden Supervisor coming to Dengzhou. This room will be given to you for your use. I will send soldiers to guard the door." He glanced at Jin Liangxiang. , and asked: "Do you need me to find a military doctor?"
Dugu Wen looked at Jin Liangxiang's injury, then opened the porcelain bottle left by Jin Wanzong that Jiang Shuo handed him, looked at it, and said to Niu Shenxing, "No need, this medicine is enough."
Niu Shenxing said "Okay" and turned around and went out.
Dugu Xiang didn't see the porcelain vase Jin Wanzong gave Jiang Shuo, so he asked curiously: "What is this little porcelain vase?"
Dugu asked: "This is the golden sore medicine."
Dugu Xiang said disappointedly: "Ah... the medicine for golden sores, even the snake-catching doctor can prepare it, so what's so strange about it."
The wandering doctor could not earn a few copper coins just by consulting, so he also collected some medicinal materials in exchange for money while traveling around. Medicinal materials are not just dead things like herbs. Fish, beasts, insects and birds cannot be used as medicine, especially snakes, which are full of treasures. Snakes are full of treasures. The skin, snake bones, snake gallbladder, and snake blood can all be used as medicine, and they are the most popular wild animals among healers. Therefore, snake catcher has almost become a synonym for traveling healers. The most popular medicine sold by wandering doctors is the "golden sore medicine" for treating various injuries caused by swords and axes. Therefore, when Dugu Xiang heard that this was the "golden sore medicine", he looked quite disappointed.
Dugu Wen smiled and said, "The knife wound medicine sold by You Fang Lang is just a fake name for golden sores, and is not the real thing. This bottle is the real "golden sore medicine." "
Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "Isn't the golden sore medicine the same as the medicine for knife wounds? Is it true or false?"
Dugu Wen shook his head and said, "Hey... it's very different. The common recipe for "golden sore medicine" in the world is to boil lard, rosin, and yellow wax, then filter out the residue, add fried and sifted flour, and finally It is made by mixing in a few finely ground camphor, musk, borneol, blood root, catechu, myrrh and other herbs. The herbs added at the end are different for each doctor, but in fact, no matter which recipe, very few herbs are added, but the main raw materials such as lard and flour are the same for everyone. "
Dugu Xiang said: "Ah... isn't that just the oily dough that is used to paste the wound? I just said that the golden sore medicine is nothing special."
Dugu asked: "Xiang'er, you monkey can't change your temper. Have you heard me finish what I said first? The so-called golden sore medicine in the world is actually just medicine for knife wounds, and the formula of the real golden sore medicine is quite different." He turned his head. He said to Jiang Shuo, "Jin Shizhong's body has warmed up. Please help him cut off his clothes."
Jiang Shuo had never done such a job, so Xu Lai rushed over and said, "I'll come, I'll come..." He had a lot of experience in the world. At this time, Jin Liangxiang hadn't woken up yet, and the blood flowing out of the wound had solidified into scabs and clothes. They were stuck together, and if they were peeled off directly, the wound would be affected. Xu Lai took a small dagger, cut open and tore off Jin Liangxiang's clothes, wiped them with warm water, and then removed the rag from the wound.
Dugu Wen showed Dugu Xiang the porcelain bottle and said, "Ordinary knife wound medicines are made from lard, rosin, flour, and other things. They are all a box of thick ointment. Do you think this is what it looks like in this porcelain bottle?"
Dugu Xiang looked closely at the bottle and said, "Hey, it's powder, not ointment."
Dugu asked: "Yes, in addition to herbs such as blood root and myrrh, these powders also have a special herb called "Wangbuliuxing". "
Jiang Shuo and Xu Lai were also attracted. Jiang Shuo asked, "Wang Buliuxing, this name is so strange."
Dugu asked: "This is a long story. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Taizong, oh, he was still His Highness the King of Qin at that time, fought a decisive battle with the Sui army at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. The Sui army was generally not strong in combat power, but that Sui army The army was the main force in the expedition to East Goryeo, and they fought bravely. The two sides fought fiercely for days and were still evenly matched, with heavy casualties. If the wounded could recover as soon as possible and return to the battlefield, they would be able to gain a decisive advantage. Just when King Qin was at his wits' end , a farmer named Wu Xing brought a bundle of weeds to see him, saying that the weeds had special effects on knife and gunshot wounds. Although the King of Qin was doubtful, he had no other way, so he asked Wu Xing to see him.
To give it a try, Wu Xing took the seeds of weeds, crushed them and sprinkled them on the wound of a wounded soldier. In less than an hour, the soldier's wound was scabbed and the pain was greatly reduced. The King of Qin was overjoyed and ordered his soldiers to collect a large number of this grass and prepare it accordingly. Three days later, most of the wounded soldiers recovered, the Tang army's morale was greatly boosted, and they finally won the decisive battle. "
Jiang Shuo asked, "Is this herb 'Wangbuliuxing'?" But why is it called this weird name...Wang Buliuxing..." He was suddenly frightened and said, "Ah, could it be..."
Dugu Wen guessed what he was thinking, nodded and said: "That's what it means. Seeing that this medicine has miraculous effects, King Qin asked and found out that this medicine is unique to the valley here. In order to prevent the enemy from getting this recipe, King Qin first He ordered Sui Jun doctors to bring dozens of herbs back to Chang'an for transplanting, and then ordered to set fire to the mountain to burn up the valley, and sent people to quietly kill Wu Xing. Later, weeds were only grown in the East Palace Medicine Garden of Shengpingfang, Chang'an. , my father-in-law and I were lucky enough to see it when we were in Chang'an, so I remembered this smell. The medical officer in the medicine garden gave this herb a rather ironic name in memory of Wu Xing, which was "Wangbuliuxing". "
Jiang Shuo lamented: "They say that our Emperor Taizong is an unparalleled wise king and holy master. I didn't expect that he would kill innocent people indiscriminately for his own selfish interests."
Dugu Wen sneered and said: "It is true that Emperor Taizong was wise, and it is true that he was cruel. When he set up an ambush to kill his brother at Xuanwu Gate and forced his grandfather to abdicate, how could he be benevolent and righteous? It’s just a matter of obedience.”
Dugu Xiang said: "Grandpa, since this kind of herb has long disappeared from the world except for the royal family, how can it be found in the Silla people's golden sore medicine? It's not because your nose is old and you smell it wrong."
Before Xiang'er could finish speaking, Dugu asked and hit her on the head with a violent chestnut. He laughed and scolded: "Little girl, you are talking nonsense. Is this herb so lucky to only be found in the valley of Taihang Mountain? After Taizong ascended the throne, he still Remembering this, I sent people to search for the medicine all over the world. When I saw this medicine, I cut off the roots and set fire to it so that it could not be resurrected. It is indeed difficult to find this kind of herb in the Tang Dynasty."
Duguxiang said: "Oh, then I know, the Silla people must have sneaked into the Tang Palace Medicine Garden to steal it!"
Dugu asked: "It shouldn't be stolen. I heard back then that the emperor could control the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but he could not control the areas outside the territory. There were doctors from Nanzhao and Xinluo who heard this legendary saying in the Tang Dynasty. After returning to China, I searched carefully and found this herb. I ground its seeds into fine powder and added other herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to create this real "golden sore medicine". It is said that this medicine has mild properties and bitter taste, and smells faintly of blood. Some people say that it is the blood of Wu Xing. This is of course nonsense, but from this special bloody smell, you can easily tell whether the medicine for golden sores contains Wang Buliuxing. ingredients. "
Jiang Shuo, Dugu Xiang, and Xu Lai all went up and took a sniff, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of blood.
Dugu Wen continued: "This medicine can be used both internally and externally. External application can stop bleeding and shrink scabs. Internal use can remove poison and activate blood circulation. It is the medicine of Yangming Chongren."
Not to mention Jiang Shuo, it was the first time for Xu Lai to hear about the herbal medicine "Wangbuliuxing". After hearing Dugu Wen talk about it so eloquently, they couldn't help but be eager to give it a try. Dugu Wen saw their anxiety and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious... Captain Xu, please go and ask for a bowl of water, a bowl of vinegar, and two spoons."
Xu Lai agreed and turned around to leave the room. He was very crowded here and returned in a moment with two large bowls in his hands, one with black vinegar and the other with plain water. His cooking skills were indeed unique. The two ocean bowls were filled to the brim and they were gone very quickly, but not a drop of vinegar or water fell out of the two bowls.
Xu Lai put down the two big bowls and asked Dugu: "Dugu Zhang, this is a navy fortress. There is no white vinegar. I only found some black vinegar."
Dugu Wen smiled and said, "It's not a problem, it's just too much. Using vinegar and water as a guide to prepare a sore medicine won't take so much."
Xu Lai hurriedly dug out two empty bowls in the house and said, "I took a lot of them but I'm afraid they won't be enough. Since there are more, Dugu Zhang poured some out for use."
Dugu Wen first took some medicinal powder and poured it into an empty bowl. He added vinegar and stirred it with a spoon. The medicinal powder slowly became thicker and finally condensed into a paste. Dugu Wen said with a smile: "I once heard a friend from the imperial doctor tell me how to prepare it." This method is really effective once you try it!”
Dugu Xiang patted his chest, sighed and said, "Fortunately, grandpa, your friend is reliable, otherwise this small amount of medicinal powder would not be wasted."
Dugu Wen rolled his eyes at her, handed the ointment to Xu Lai, and said, "Give it to Jin Shizhong for external application." He poured some medicinal powder into another empty bowl, and this time added white water to make it, but it was a bowl of decoction. Jiang Shuo said: "Shuo'er, pry open his teeth and drink this directly."
Dugu Xiang said: "Grandpa, is this okay? It's just for external application. This one for internal use is not cooked, so it won't kill people, right?" Jiang Shuo knew that she was joking, so he ignored her and pried open Jin Liangxiang's penis. He gritted his teeth and poured in a small bowl of medicine.
Jiang Shuo saw that the wounds on Jin Liangxiang's body really had a healing effect. He felt his pulse and it seemed that his pulse was gradually getting stronger. He smiled and said, "Grandpa, this medicine is really effective." Dugu asked and saw that there was still most of the medicine powder in the porcelain bottle. He asked again. After stuffing it, he handed it to Jiang Shuo and said, "Shuo'er, put it away. It may be useful in the future."
Jiang Shuo said yes and put the porcelain bottle in his arms, thinking that this is the magic medicine of Silla, I can't keep it for myself until Jin Shizhong gives it to him. Suddenly finding that Jing Zhencheng was not here, Jiang Shuo said something bad and asked Xu Lai: "Brother Xu, where is the guard now?"
Xu Lai told him the route to the government office and asked curiously: "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Jiang Shuo had already rushed out of the door and said, "Brother Xu, please take care of Jin Shizhong. I'm worried that Jing Lang will be detrimental to Master Niu. I'm worried. I'll go over and have a look."
Dugu Xiang said, "I'll go too!" He followed Jiang Shuo and ran out.
