Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 25 The Classic of Mountains and Seas

After tasting the tea and fruits, and getting the handwritten words written by Mrs. Li, the one-year study is over after all the ladies salute.

Just as she was about to leave, Mrs. Li suddenly called out to her: "Miss Wen, you came with me."

Wen Shu followed the master to the guest house where she was resting with an inexplicable expression, but before entering the door, the master was stopped again, and it was the gatekeeper's wife who passed the word that someone outside the private school was looking for her.

Mrs. Li had to ask Wen Shu to wait in the guest house for a while, and she would come as soon as she went.

Wen Shu nodded and went to sit in the guest house.

Master Li was born in Qizhou, and he has been famous since he was a child. Even the guest room where he lives temporarily has a bookshelf.

Wen Shu just felt dizzy after reading it, so she didn't have the interest to turn over the book at the table and read, and sat quietly on the small stool beside her and waited.

But after a while, Mrs. Li didn't turn around, and her restless temperament was revealed. She walked in the room for a while, and walked to the table on the left.

The table case should be used by the master to check his homework on weekdays. It stands by the window. In addition to the four treasures of the study, there are three books on it. '

Looking at the name, Wen Shu thought it was a book like Buddhist scriptures, and was about to walk away.At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew up outside the half-open window lattice, and the wind rolled in along the window lattice, blowing the books on the table and rattling.

Just as Wen Shu was about to walk away, he stopped!
Several lifelike and strange patterns flashed before her eyes very quickly, which suddenly attracted her.

She raised her hand to take the book and flipped through it, only to see that there were not only patterns drawn on the top, but also text explanations underneath.

'The head of the Nanshan Jing is called Que Mountain, and the head of it is called the Mountain of Swagger, which faces the West Sea, rich in osmanthus, rich in gold and jade.There is Cao Yan, its shape is like a leek and green, its name is Zhu Yu, and it will not be hungry if you eat it.There is a tree Yan, its shape is like a grain with a black texture, and its flowers shine all over, its name is Mi Gu, and it is not misleading to wear it."

Wen Shu not only became interested in reading this book, but this book is really interesting.

The Zhaoyao mountain written on it not only has many osmanthus trees and gold and jade, but also a plant that looks like leeks and has blue flowers. Its name is Zhuyu. People will not feel hungry after eating it. The tree, its shape is like a mulberry tree, with black textures on the tree, and the flowers that bloom can emit light, which can illuminate the surroundings. Its name is Migu (gu), and you will not get lost if you wear it on your body.

There is such a strange book in this world!

While being amazed in her heart, it also aroused her interest in continuing to look back.

As we continue to look down, what are the orangutans that can run faster after eating, the deer that wears its fur can bless the descendants, the leech that can cure malignant sores, and the open payment that can make people not want to sleep? !
Wen Shu turned over the pages one by one, amazed in his heart, and said that this is an absurd and weird book written by some immortal master, it is really interesting.

Until she turned to a page with some familiar images, her heart skipped a beat!
This picture shows a beast with a dog's body and a human face, and then see the text notes below.

'Two hundred miles to the north, it is called the mountain of prison law, and the water around the lake flows out, and the northeast flows into Taize, where there are many nests of fish, which are shaped like carp and chicken feet, and the warts have eaten.There is Beast Yan, whose shape is like a dog and has a human face. It is good at throwing, and laughs when it sees people. Its name is Shanhui, and its movements are like wind. '
After reading the annotation, the image of the monster unconsciously appeared in Wen Shu's mind, and he couldn't help but retreated a few steps in shock, and dropped the book in his hand to the ground with a bang.

At this time, Master Li just came back. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and shouted, "Wen Shu."

Wen Shu returned to his senses and hurriedly picked up the book and put it back on the table. He turned to Master Li and apologized: "I'm sorry, Master, I shouldn't have just casually flipped through your book out of curiosity."

Li Jingzhen chuckled lightly, "It's okay, books are for people to read, you love reading, you should be happy as a teacher." As she spoke, she glanced at the Book of Mountains and Seas on the desk table: "It's just that seeing you like this just now It’s frightening, yes, there are indeed not many young ladies who like to read this kind of strange book.”

Wen Shu didn't argue when he heard the words, but just bowed his head and said, "It's really scary, I don't know that it was written by that expert, but it can describe so many strange things, this kind of imagination is really amazing."

Li Jingzhen sat down in front of the case with a smile, picked up the Book of Mountains and Seas and flipped through it, "The things in this book are not made up randomly. It is said that the things in it are real, but we have no chance to see them."

Real existence?
Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat, he was silent for a moment, and tentatively said: "May I ask Master where I bought this book, if it's not expensive, the students will also buy it and go home to have a look."

She thought that she had seen Shanhui who was good at throwing and smiling at people, just as the master said, these strange plants and beasts do exist, but they are generally not seen by people.

Now that I know the existence of this book, if I can buy it back and study it carefully, I might be able to break the secret of that box.

Unexpectedly, Li Jingzhen shook her head and looked at her with a smile, just like an adult looking at an ignorant child.

"This book is not a story-telling novel. It can be seen everywhere in the market. It is an ancient book handed down from generation to generation. Because of its absurd content, there are only a few rich and powerful families who still have this book. , it is impossible to buy in the market.”

Wen Shu was startled, and was immediately disappointed, but she looked at the book in Li Jingzhen's hand, and her heart suddenly changed.

Seeing her eyes fixed on the book in her hand, Li Jingzhen chuckled lightly: "Want to read it?"

Wen Shu nodded honestly.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Wen Shu smiled shyly: "I was really scared when I first saw it, but now that I think about it, these things are all drawn on paper, and it's impossible for them to come alive and eat me, so there's nothing scary about it."

"It's a savvy one." Li Jingzhen nodded in satisfaction, and handed the book to her: "Look, it's rare that someone likes this book as much as I do. Anyway, it's still early, so you can read it here."

"Thank you, Master." Wen Shu was overjoyed, and blessed Li Jingzhen.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

Li Jingzhen pointed to a low stool under the window for her to sit on, and ordered the maid who was waiting outside to bring in tea and fruit, and then she read a book with relish.

The setting sun outside the window was gradually setting, and the afterglow hit the two people by the window, a hazy golden light appeared, and there was a silence in the room, only the fragrance of tea reverberated in the room.

Mrs. Li looked up at Wen Shu while drinking tea between pages, but saw that she was buried in her book and the tea in front of her hadn't touched a sip, so she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

There are not many text descriptions in Shan Hai Jing, and they are concise. Wen Shu tried his best to record the appearance of the animals in the picture, and at the same time compared the text below to remember their functions and functions.

After reading it for a while, Wen Shu faintly felt that this is not a cookbook!

It's not that she likes to think wildly, in fact, many animals here have recorded the effect of eating, for example: a bird called Dang Hu, said that eating its meat can make the eyes not dim.

There are also ranyi fish that will prevent nightmares after eating, can increase strength and huaimu fruit, and scorpion fish that can excrete pearls from the body
There are so many different things.

　Hahaha, Goldfinger has appeared, everyone is looking forward to it.

　　Solemnly explain, there may be many typos in the text explanation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the article, especially the names of beasts and fishes, which cannot be typed by many input methods, so Xiaogu can only find homonyms or similar fonts to replace.

　　Sorry everyone!
