He moved a small bench to the center of the yard, put the bench down, and couldn't wait to open the medicine book. Zhou Baopu felt nervous and full of longing.
The reason why he was nervous was that he was afraid that if he could no longer remember the pictures and properties of the medicine, he would really be in trouble.
The reason why he was eager was because he was looking forward to it. After finally discovering that the opened medicine page could actually absorb moonlight, Zhou Baopu thought to himself, there must be some gratifying changes.
The best situation is that I can remember the graphics and annotations on it. Zhou Baopu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and prayed to heaven for the first time: "Gods and gods from all walks of life bless me, and bless me to remember the instructions on this medicine manual." Something!"
Zhou Baopu solemnly opened the medicine manual, with trembling fingers, trembling pages, and turbulent mind, Zhou Baopu opened the first page of the medicine list uneasily.
Even in an open space with a bright moon in the sky, Zhou Baopu found that the pages in front of him were still quite dim. It seemed that the process of the medicine formula devouring the moonlight was still continuing.
Although the pages of the book are quite dim, it does not hinder Zhou Baopu from reading. Looking carefully at the tender green medicinal material with a needle-shaped leaf in front of him, Zhou Baopu's mood is full of excitement.
Zhou Baopu suppressed the excitement in his heart. He felt that he was extremely familiar with this graphic, so he started to read the notes on the properties of the medicine.
"Star grass, born on the top of mountains, swallows the moonlight and absorbs sunlight for two long hours. It can grow one needle every day and night, and the year can be judged based on the number of needles. It has a gentle temperament and can be used as medicine to neutralize cold, cold and heat. ."
After reading it over and over again, Zhou Baopu closed his eyes happily, and at the same time eagerly began to recall it in his heart, wanting to recite it and remember it.
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
No matter how hard Zhou Baopu pushed his head, no matter how hard he tried to recall what he had just read, Zhou Baopu could not remember what he had seen.
The familiar picture of medicinal materials was like an ink painting, and his brain was like a basin of clear water. When the ink painting-like picture of medicinal materials entered his mind like clear water, Zhou Baopu sadly discovered that he was really whimsical. Well, it seems that things are not as simple as he thought.
The little black turtle crawled around Zhou Baopu, watching the joy, anger, sorrow and joy on Zhou Baopu's face. In this short quarter of an hour, Zhou Baopu's mood could be said to be ups and downs.
From the initial expectations and desires, to the process of careful inspection and recitation, to the process of closing your eyes and remembering sadly, to the final disappointment and helplessness when you want to give up.
The little mysterious turtle didn't speak, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't dare to say it.
It is still not sure whether Zhou Baopu has forgiven it. From Zhou Baopu's indifferent attitude, the little black turtle can see more and more that it seems to have made a joke that should not be made.
"Zhou Baopu, Zhou Baopu, you are really whimsical. You clearly know that the old senior refuses to accept you as his disciple, so he must have decided that you cannot pass this test. But you are still torturing yourself here. What are you doing? Why bother with yourself?"
After laughing at himself, Zhou Baopu didn't feel any better.
Thinking of the bullying he had endured over the years and the hardships his mother had to make a living over the years, Zhou Baopu's eyes became firm again.
"I won't give up no matter what, even though I probably won't succeed. I'll try my best. If I can recite and memorize this medicinal book, even if I don't worship him as my teacher, it will be good to mock him when the time comes. . It's okay if others look down on you. If you look down on you yourself, you will really be useless!"
Zhou Baopu encouraged himself, and at the same time slowly looked at the page of the book again. This does not matter, Zhou Baopu's loose heartstrings , suddenly tensed up, as if he had seen something incredible.
The originally dim pages of the book have gradually returned to brightness. The graphic stripes of the medicinal materials are actually glowing with silver, and the annotations also seem to be shining with moonlight. They look extremely weird, even a little weird, with patterns, lines and annotations. The strokes are all clear and discernible.
Zhou Baopu's energy immediately became concentrated, and he couldn't help but feel shaken. What did these changes mean?
However, Zhou Baopu was still happy too early. He once again immersed himself in reciting for a quarter of an hour. However, when he closed his eyes and slowly tried to pull that memory out of his memory, he sadly discovered that , it was still a joy in vain.
In the empty mind, the picture of the medicinal materials left no trace; in the fragmented memory, the explanation of the medicinal properties left no trace.
Slowly opening his eyes, Zhou Baopu calmed down his mood and wanted to close the medicine manual and wait until he had time to study it.
Zhou Baopu's eyes casually fell on the first page of the medicine manual, and found that there was nothing different about the first page of the medicine manual at this time.
It didn't look particularly bright, nor did it look particularly dim, just like an ordinary piece of paper, stretched out in his hands.
Looking at the medicinal formula in his hands, watching the clear and distinguishable figure change from unfamiliar to familiar again, and not remembering it after reading it for more than a hundred times, Zhou Baopu decided to put it down for the night.
Already very sleepy, Zhou Baopu rubbed his sore eyes. If he hadn't discovered that the medicine absorbed the moonlight, he might have fallen asleep long ago.
Walking back to the hut, although the oil lamp kept flickering, it was still not extinguished. It was like a bolt of lightning flashed across his heart. At this time, Zhou Baopu thought of another question.
Even if the medicinal formula swallows up the moonlight, why does the medicinal formula look dim when held under an oil lamp?
This was the reason why Zhou Baopu discovered the abnormality in the medicine spectrum, so Zhou Baopu had no intention of letting go of this suspicion.
When the moonlight appears, the medicinal spectrum becomes dim, but the medicinal spectrum does not swallow up the light.
According to common sense, light and moonlight exist at the same time. Even if the medicine spectrum swallows up the moonlight, the medicine spectrum does not swallow up the light. Under the light, the medicine spectrum should not look dim.
Slowly arriving in front of the table and sitting down on the bench, Zhou Baopu dragged his cheeks and looked lost in thought again.
In the silent night, it was so quiet that the whirring of the window lattice, the rustling of the leaves, and the barking of dogs in the distance seemed particularly clear to the ears.
"Plop!"
The sound of bricks falling to the ground on the courtyard wall made Zhou Baopu distracted. He raised his head, opened his mouth and blew out the oil lamp.
"Oh, damn, what a broken wall, so weak."
Outside the courtyard wall of Zhou Baopu's house, stood an extremely obscene-looking middle-aged man, with several bricks piled up to a foot in front of his feet. high.
At this time, the middle-aged man was cursing in a low voice. Looking at his feet that were injured by the bricks, he didn't even dare to cry out in pain.
However, even so, he still did not give up. He still endured the pain and stepped onto the pile of bricks. His hands could barely reach the top of the wall. He bent his body, exerted all his strength with his arms, and stepped on the bricks with his right foot. He bent over the gap in the wall and tried his best to climb up the wall.
The faint moonlight witnessed all this. Apart from this middle-aged man, there was no one on the road outside the courtyard wall.
