"Yaoyin?" Fan Jiannan pondered.

Yin is a common name for guiding medicines to meridians, which means that some medicines can guide the potency of other medicines to the lesion site or a certain meridian, and play the role of "guide".In addition, "medicine primer" also has the functions of enhancing curative effect, detoxifying, flavoring, and protecting the gastrointestinal tract.

"Yaoyin" is also called "yinyao", just like a tour guide, guiding various medicines to certain meridians and viscera for targeted treatment.They are not only compatible with decoctions, but also more widely used with patented medicines.Among the nearly [-] kinds of Chinese patent medicines recorded in China, almost every one has described the content and method of taking the medicines that should be compatible.It can be seen that ancient doctors attached great importance to medicine introduction.

Zhao Gongming nodded and said, "If you choose medicine based on syndrome differentiation when taking proprietary medicines, you can achieve the effects of guiding medicines to meridians, enhancing curative effect, correcting taste and smell, and reducing side effects. This is a very important part of TCM theory. , and this theory was once adopted by alchemists in ancient times. If Zuo Xiang and the great voodoo wizard both took the Rebirth Pill, then there is only one reason for it.”

"You mean, after taking the Huisheng Pill, they took other things?" Fan Jiannan asked with a frown.

Zhao Gongming looked at the great voodoo wizard, and said slowly, "I don't know about this, so I want to ask the great wizard, after taking that medicine, have you taken any other things?"

The great voodoo wizard looked at An Tong in a daze, and An Tong quickly translated Zhao Gongming's words to her.She seemed to think about it for a moment, then shook her head resolutely.

An Tong said to Fan Jiannan and Zhao Gongming, "She must have never taken any other medicine."

Zhao Gongming frowned and said, "But this is not in line with common sense. The function of Huisheng Pill is to induce medicine, not the main medicine. It is like a catalyst, not the main medicine. I have never heard of someone using Huisheng Pill alone. .Besides, even if you take the Resurrection Pill alone, it is impossible to have any connection with witchcraft. Because it is impossible."

An Tong asked the great voodoo wizard again, and then said in a somewhat embarrassed way, "But the great wizard said that she and Prime Minister Zuo just tried that drug, and they really didn't take anything after that. It's about the great wizard's own safety. She has no reason to lie to you."

Fan Jiannan was silent for a while and said, "Maybe she's telling the truth, she really didn't take anything else. Maybe it's not through taking it, but touching it."

Zhao Gongming frowned and said, "You mean, the second drug entered their body through other means instead of taking it?"

Fan Jiannan thought for a while, then suddenly turned to An Tong and said, "Are you asking the great wizard for me, what else did she and Zuo Xiang have contact with after taking the Returning Pill? This contact may be skin contact, or it may be What kind of smell did you breathe. Anyway, let her recall, has there been any similar abnormalities after this?"

An Tong communicated with the great voodoo wizard again for a while. The expression on the face of the voodoo great wizard seemed a little weird, and then he suddenly said a lot of words to An Tong in a hurried tone.

An Tong nodded again and again, and then said to Fan Jiannan, "The great wizard said that after taking the drug, they didn't feel anything unusual. However, when they left, it seemed that they encountered bad weather. The place was like It was fog. Because that place was on the edge of the jungle, they didn't pay attention to it at the time. Thinking about it now, it seems that there is a very special fragrance of grass and trees in the mist."

Zhao Gongming glanced at Fan Jiannan, and said in a low voice, "As expected, you guessed it. The people who plotted against them seem to have spent a little time thinking. This second drug was not taken through normal consumption, but inhaled through their breath. in vivo."

Fan Jiannan was silent for a while and said, "Great Wizard, can you describe the situation for us in detail. Why did you suddenly think of trying the Rebirth Pill?"

The great wizard said a lot to An Tong, and then An Tong said to Fan Jiannan, "The great wizard said that it was because the left minister had already found out that the medicine he had taken before might be related to witchcraft control. In order to confirm this situation , he and the great wizard returned to the hermit's hut again, and formulated the medicine again according to the formula. At that time, because there was no one around, the two of them were very relaxed, so they tried it together the drug."

Fan Jiannan frowned, "Then who mentioned to try this drug?"

"It was Zuo Xiang who mentioned this drug. But he didn't ask the great wizard to try it, he just wanted to try it himself, and then let the great wizard use witchcraft to perceive his changes before and after taking the medicine. After all, Voodoo teaches witchcraft to control people , the great wizard is more familiar with it. However, after he took the medicine, the great wizard didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him. So the great wizard tried that drug, and her purpose was to see how this drug and Voodoo use it Are those drugs different?" An Tong explained.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "That is to say, at that time no one knew that you would take the medicine there. You took Huisheng Pill only out of suspicion of this medicine."

The great voodoo wizard nodded.

Zhao Gongming said with a wry smile, "Of course you won't feel anything, because the Returning Life Pill is a kind of medicine at all, and it won't cause you any uncomfortable reaction. But after that, the fog you encountered There is a lot to write about. It must be that the mysterious witch has discovered that you have taken the Resurrection Pill, so he came up with such a method. He used the medicine to burn into smoke, and the faint medicine smoke was mixed in the mist. It is impossible to distinguish at all. So you were drugged without knowing it, and the Resurrection Pill you took in advance is the catalyst to strengthen the effect of this drug."

After An Tong translated these words to the great voodoo wizard, the great wizard finally understood what was going on.

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Even so, the problem still exists. First, who is this person who is trying to control you with drugs? Second, how does this person know that you are in the hermit's hut? He has been In the vicinity, or to follow you, all these are questions."

Zhao Gongming pondered for a while and said, "Wait, I have another question. How long has it been between the time you took the Returning Pill and the fog outside?"

After An Tong inquired about the great voodoo wizard, he said to Zhao Gongming, "The great wizard said that the interval is about an hour."

Zhao Gongming's expression changed, and he said quickly, "Are you sure?"

"The great wizard said she was sure." An Tong nodded.

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Is this time related to their being drugged?"

Zhao Gongming said slowly, "Jiannan, you need to know that there is an optimal timing for taking any medicine Yin and the main medicine. To put it simply, the best time to take the main medicine is when the medicine Yin has already started to take effect. However, the effect of Huisheng Pill enters the state of taking effect half an hour after taking it, that is, exactly one hour. This is not accidental. It just shows that the other party's control of the timing is just right. After they took Huisheng An hour later, the mist just started to settle outside."

"I understand. The person who prescribes the medicine to them is very clear about the principles of medicine. Otherwise, it would be impossible to manage the timing so well." Fan Jiannan nodded.

Zhao Gongming looked at Fan Jiannan and said, "I'm afraid you don't understand enough. This person is not only proficient in witchcraft, but also good at alchemy."

"Alchemy, is this possible?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "According to their description, that person should be a Malay wizard. There are not many people who know about such things as alchemy, even in our country. And a How could a Malay shaman know alchemy? We can’t infer that he knows alchemy just because he knows the effect of rebirth pill.”

Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I didn't deduce it from this point."

"What's going on?" Fan Jiannan asked strangely.

"Using smoke to make people inhale medicine. Although this method is not common, it is one of the methods used by ancient alchemists." Zhao Gongming said slowly, "burning medicine to make smoke, and then inhaling the body through the smoke. This is An ancient method of alchemy."

"Is there such a school?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Zhao Gongming said slowly, "Yes, this school is very special. The ancient people made alchemy for nothing more than seeking immortality and longevity, but some alchemists believed that immortals would neither drink nor eat. There is such a description in Zhuangzi's Happy Journey : The mountain of Miao Gushe is home to gods and men, whose skin is like ice and snow, and is as graceful as a virgin. They don't eat five grains, but absorb wind and drink dew. So these alchemists think that the refined medicine should not be a kind of entity, but It should be inhaled into the body. The pills they refine should not be pills, but pill qi. So this very special school of alchemy came into being."

"That is to say, since ancient times, there has been such a school of sorcerers who used smoke as medicine?" Fan Jiannan looked at Zhao Gongming in surprise and said.

"Yes, this school was once prosperous, known as the Yanxia School. But it flourished quickly, and usually declined quickly. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Inner Alchemy School has risen, and the Outer Alchemy School has been declining. Today, it is almost No one has heard of the Yanxia School." Zhao Gongming said slowly, "But according to the description of the great wizard and some of the medicinal methods of this mysterious wizard, this person is likely to be the heir of the Yanxia School that has been extinct for many years. Even if they are not alchemists of the Yanxia Sect, at least they have been influenced by the alchemists of the Yanxia Sect."

Fan Jiannan was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Maybe, you are an expert in this area. However, what I'm thinking is, even if there is such a school as you mentioned, why do they have to fight against fortune-tellers? So that Want to control the life masters of the past?"
