Jiangcun is a small village with only about a hundred people hidden in the vast mountains.
At this moment, the full moon is high and everything is quiet. It seems that the world has fallen into a deep sleep. However, in Jiang Village, there are about a dozen children of different ages sitting cross-legged, with their five hearts pointing to the sky and their round faces. The moon's breath was long and distant, and thick or light mist could be seen surrounding their bodies.
In front of the group of children, there was a burly man wearing animal skins who was saying in a deep voice: "For us, the moonlight is an extremely precious spiritual object, especially today is the fifteenth day, and it is even more important when we are here." It’s the time when the moonlight is at its peak, so don’t waste time, absorb as much moonlight as possible, open up the meridians, and improve your strength.”
The man's words did not receive any response, because all the children were absorbed in absorbing the moonlight.
However, about dozens of feet away from them, there was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, sitting there alone, with at least hundreds of plant and animal bones of different shapes in front of him.
Under the moonlight, one can clearly see that this young man has a delicate appearance. His long black hair is braided into several braids and scattered on his shoulders. He has a well-proportioned figure. He is also wearing an animal skin, and there are many long and short hairs on the exposed skin. One scar.
The young man's clear eyes, although he spent most of his time staring at the vegetation in front of him, would raise his head from time to time and glance at the group of children sitting cross-legged in the distance. At this time, his slightly childish eyes would There is always a trace of envy on his face.
The young man's name was Jiang Yun. He was already used to the scene in front of him. He knew that his playmates were absorbing Yuehua to practice.
Cultivation, what you cultivate is your body, what you cultivate is the Tao!
Although he was very eager to join them and practice with them, his grandfather told himself since he was a child that because his physique was different from theirs, he could not practice.
Jiang Yun didn't believe this at first, until he asked a few playmates in private and secretly practiced several times according to the methods they taught, and found that his body really couldn't absorb what they called the essence of the sun and the moon. After that, I had no choice but to give up.
"But fortunately, I can become a pharmacist and refine elixirs suitable for them to help enhance their strength. It is at least good."
Jiang Yun comforted himself in his heart and continued to focus on the vegetation and animal bones in front of him.
"Yunwazi, this is the last batch, right? How do you remember it?"
At this moment, the burly man walked up to Jiang Yun, with his hands behind his back, looking at the plant and animal bones with interest.
Jiang Yun raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Mu, I have basically remembered everything."
"Okay!" Jiang Mu nodded, not doubting Jiang Yun's words at all, with a look of approval on his rough face.
Perhaps Jiang Yun didn't find it remarkable that he could remember the characteristics of these plant and animal bones, but as an adult, Jiang Mu knew it all.
Refining medicine requires materials, and the most basic materials are various animals and plants. If you want to become a qualified pharmacist, you must understand and master as many of their characteristics as possible.
The mountains where Jiangcun is located are called Shiwanmang Mountains, which are almost isolated from the world. There are tens of thousands of various species of animals and plants growing in them. It is extremely difficult to know the characteristics of each plant and animal. , the process is extremely boring.
And Jiang Yun is just a sixteen-year-old child, but he has already achieved it in just a dozen years. This requires not only talent, but also a tough mind and perseverance.
"Not bad!" Jiang Mu couldn't help but praise again: "Yunwazi, you will definitely become a great pharmacist in the future!"
Jiang Yun didn't show any excitement at Jiang Mu's compliment, but just smiled lightly. His mature look was really inconsistent with his age.
How could Jiang Mu not know Jiang Yun's thoughts? He would rather practice and become a monk than become a pharmacist.
Stretching out his palm as big as a cattail leaf, Jiang Mu rubbed Jiang Yun's head vigorously, intending to say something more, but he still swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
Turning around, Jiang Mu sighed in his heart and said, "Yunwazi, it's not that we don't teach you how to practice, it's because you are not a child of my Jiang clan!"
Yes, Jiang Yun is not from Jiang Village, but the old village chief Jiang Wanli, who is the abandoned child that Jiang Yun's grandfather picked up back then.
This is not a secret, even Jiang Yun himself has known it for a long time.
Although Jiang Yun was not from Jiangcun, no one in Jiangcun regarded him as an outsider. After sixteen years of living together, in their eyes, Jiang Yun was from Jiangcun.
After a while, Jiang Mu looked up at the full moon in the sky and shouted: "Okay, little bastards, the time has passed and practice is over!"
, j genuine! First●v hair P
With a "hoo!", the group of children sitting cross-legged suddenly jumped up.
Although they all know the importance of cultivation, they are still children after all, and it is really a great torture for them to sit there for several hours.
In an instant, a figure rushed to Jiang Yun's side as fast as a civet cat.
"Brother Yun, are you going out again tomorrow? When you come back, will you catch a tricolor finch for me?"
This is a little girl, about eight or nine years old. There are three bean-sized colorful marks between her eyebrows, arranged in a triangle. Her pink and jade-carved little face is full of expectation.
Her name was Jiang Yuerou, and she was Jiang Wanli's real granddaughter. Unfortunately, not long after she was born, her parents were killed in an accident when they went hunting in the mountains, leaving her and her grandfather to depend on each other. Jiang Yun could be said to have raised her single-handedly, so she followed her. Jiang Yun is the closest.
There are many dangers in Mangshan, and no children are allowed to leave the village before they are eighteen years old, but Jiang Yun is different.
In order to better understand the characteristics of animals and plants, he would follow his grandfather into the depths of Mang Mountain every day after the full moon, and stay there for more than half a month. When he came back, he would teach the children in the village If you want some gadgets or animals, the children in the village will come to Jiang Yun to ask for something.
"Okay!" Jiang Yun stretched out his hand, pinched Jiang Yuerou's little face lovingly and said, "When I come back, I will catch a tricolor bird for you."
"Yunwazi, come back and take a bath!"
At this moment, an old voice came from afar, and then Jiang Mu opened his eyes and shouted at the children: "Okay, okay, little bastard, go to bed quickly, Yunwazi, Yuerou Give it to me, you go take a bath!"
All the children immediately dispersed, and Jiang Yun also stood up, pinched Yuerou's cheek, said hello to Jiang Mu, and then turned and walked towards a small house deep in the village.
