Small Lingzhi

Chapter 32 Withering

The cold winter is depressing, the thick gray clouds reveal a shimmer, and the little ganoderma that is almost submerged among the herbs is also much brighter.

Xiao Yan's palms were slightly bent, protecting this little Ganoderma lucidum for a long time without saying a word, silently feeling the real and clear pain from the heart.

In the ice and snow, Xiao Yan's body was sweating densely because of the pain, and the crow-black eyelashes were a little wet.

Until the surging pain receded like a tide, Xiao Yan stared at the little Ganoderma lucidum in his palm, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You...are you in pain?"

This pain will be closely connected with each other, so if Ganoderma lucidum hurts, it will hurt.

The slightly distorted stalk lying on the soil was quiet, Xiao Yan couldn't bear to look at it.

I remember that when the little medicine man happily gestured to him to weave Ganoderma lucidum, the Ganoderma lucidum produced by Xiao Yan was in line with his wishes.

The canopy of the straw-woven Ganoderma lucidum is plump, fat and solid, and the stalk is as full as half of his palm, with a charming naive look.

Unlike the one in front of him, the stipe was no longer as thick as the little finger, slightly shriveled and soft, so pitiful that he didn't dare to take a second look.

The clouds and mist that were pushed aside gradually closed, and light snow fluttered.

The people who were blocked by the hidden guards of the Grand Master's Mansion saw the Grand Master, who had power across the court and the public, squatting halfway among a bunch of grass, with his palms folded on the soil, as if he was protecting something.

Snowflakes fell slowly on his hair, accumulating on the fox cloak.

One of the black-clothed dark guards quickly took an apricot-blossom oil-paper umbrella, walked behind Xiao Yan and opened it.

He saw their master taking care of a...strange fungus?

Innumerable Ganoderma lucidums have been sent to the Grand Master's Mansion in the past few months. Although they are oddly shaped and incomplete, they are plump and round.

If the stalk in front of him hadn't been planted on the Ganoderma lucidum mountain, the dark guard wouldn't have even glanced at it to confirm that it was the stalk of a Ganoderma lucidum, it was so different from other Ganoderma lucidums.

The dark guard couldn't help but say: "Master, it's windy and snowy, why don't you find a place to hide temporarily, I'll watch over here."

Xiao Yan looked a little dazed.

He looked up at the white snow on the surrounding mountains, and for a moment he didn't know what to do with it.

Do I need to loosen the soil immediately to help it change places, or...

Xiao Yan couldn't help thinking about it, and Mei Ruobai, who was blocked by the hidden guards in the distance, raised her voice and said: "Master, that Ganoderma lucidum is extremely difficult to grow, and it finally took root. If you insist on removing it, there will be no life or death." People know!"

Xiao Yan walked out from the bottom of the umbrella, and ordered the hidden guards to stay where they were and protect the Ganoderma lucidum from the wind and snow.

His expression was as cold as ice and snow, and the snowflakes on the fox cloak fluttered as he walked.

Xiao Yan stood in front of Mei Ruobai: "Doctor Mei, I think you have been treating my doctor for seven years, and I only ask you one question, why do you keep Ganoderma lucidum privately?"

Mei Ruobai pursed her lips tightly.

He knew that the people in the Grand Master's Mansion did not need to be unreasonable, and the man in front of him could easily control a person's life with just a word, a movement or a look, but he didn't know why at this moment, but he was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

"Grand Master, Meiyuan has grown Ganoderma lucidum for several years. If you take power, you will not see me today."

Mei Ruobai sat in a wheelchair and met Xiao Yan's eyes: "If I remember correctly, the Grand Master's Mansion only issued a notice to reward the Ganoderma lucidum with a lot of money, but did not force the Lingzhi mushrooms from all over the world to be returned to the Grand Master's Mansion."

He paused, and said: "I don't know, I thought Ganoderma lucidum had committed some heinous crime, and the Taishifu would rather take it by mistake than leak it."

Mei Ruobai slammed loudly, staring straight ahead, like a bamboo standing tall in the snow.

He knew that what he said would make Xiao Yan angry, but he has worked hard for the other party to take care of his body all these years. If Xiao Yan does not distinguish between good and evil, how is it different from a courtier.

Mei Ruobai's words offended Xiao Yan, but it made him lose his mind.

Ganoderma...

There's nothing wrong with Ganoderma lucidum, he searched for it in such a hurry, how could he be willing to treat it badly.

Xiao Yan put away his expression, and smiled slightly: "Doctor Mei's words are not unreasonable. In this case, Nian has been working for my grand master's residence in Meiyuan for a few years. From today, this garden will be closed."

The plum garden was closed, and people in the garden were panicked.

There is such a Ganoderma lucidum in the back mountain that Xiao Yan has been looking for for so long, and he doesn't know what to do with it.

He wanted to take it back to the Grand Master's Mansion, but Mei Ruobai's words made him feel scruples.

Therefore, Xiao Yan had no choice but to leave the ganoderma lucidum in place, and he stayed in the plum garden temporarily.

Xiao Yan stayed in the plum garden and didn't think about what to do, but finally found the Ganoderma lucidum after searching for a long time, so she stayed in the plum garden first, at least if she wanted to take a look at it, she could see it immediately.

Xiao Yan didn't like the large number of people in the mansion, so the original medicine boys and servants in Meiyuan were dismissed.

The entire plum garden was closely guarded by secret guards, and several servants who served Xiao Yan on a daily basis came from the Grand Master's Mansion. Director Liu also brought a lot of things to the plum garden in a carriage that night.

Xiao Yan temporarily lives in a house in the side courtyard. The house in the main courtyard is better, but the back mountain cannot be seen in the field of vision.

There are several houses in the side courtyard just facing the direction of the Ganoderma lucidum garden in the back mountain.

Xiao Yan was going to live in a side courtyard, so Director Liu personally led people to re-clean the room on the spot. Many belongings brought from the Grand Master's Mansion were repurchased one by one, fearing that the house would be too small to bore their master, Manager Liu ordered the craftsmen to watch it later. Several houses on the mountain are connected.

After rushing to work, lights were lit in the yard in the middle of the night, the veils in the spacious living room floated, the room was warm, the thick and plush animal blanket extended to the bed, and the light soothing fragrance wafted.

There are several books that Xiao Yan likes to read on the desk. There are halls, tea rooms, and study rooms in the room. The one with the widest and widest view is facing the Ganoderma lucidum garden in the back mountain, with white snow and howling cold wind.

Xiao Lin came back to the yard from the back mountain, Manager Liu took off the fox cloak which was half wet for him, shook off the snowflakes, and hurriedly got people to prepare hot water and hot food.

After taking a simple bath, Xiao Yan stuffed some snacks into her stomach and drank medicinal soup.

He walked to a position where he could see the Ganoderma lucidum garden, his gaze passed through the window, there were guards in the Ganoderma lucidum garden at all times, and several lights were set up, the light was warm and dim, quietly covering the area where the small Ganoderma lucidum grew.

In just one night, the owner of the plum garden was forcibly replaced by the master of the Grand Master's Mansion. Mei Ruobai and his servants were sealed in the main courtyard, and no one entered or left the garden without Xiao Yan's signal.

********

Facing the yard of Ganoderma lucidum Garden on the back mountain of Plum Garden, the lamps were lit early in the morning.

The heavy veil is lifted to the sides, and the warm light of the Ganoderma lucidum garden can be clearly seen from the wide window.

Xiao Yan stood in front of the couch, and the little servant waited on him to undress and wash, his drooping black hair was only tied up with a jade-colored headband.

The man is tall and tall, with extraordinary appearance, like a god of the nine heavens, he can't tell at all that he is the Grand Master Xiao who is full of fear and easily falls into the power of life and death.

Xiao Yan walked behind the window eaves, watched the Ganoderma lucidum garden quietly, drank the ginseng soup brought by Manager Liu, and then walked outside the door.

The little servant swiftly put on a big cloak with golden silk and cloud patterns on the master. Xiao Yan didn't ask the servant to follow, but took an umbrella to cover the snow by himself, and his back gradually disappeared into the direction of the back mountain.

The hidden guards in charge of guarding the Ganoderma lucidum protected the place very well. The surrounding snow was completely removed, and an open shed was set up to guard the outside of the open shed, so that the Ganoderma lucidum growing in the shed would not be disturbed by the wind and snow.

Xiao Yan walked into the open shed, squatted down and looked at the small and pitiful little Ganoderma lucidum in front of her.

He whispered to himself: "Why is it so small?"

The color has also changed a bit.

At that time, the color of Ganoderma lucidum was grayish, slightly whitish, round and shiny.

And the small Ganoderma lucidum with only the stipe left, the stipe is gray and dull.

Xiao Yan touched the stalk of the fungus: "Grow well soon."

If he still has a chance to transform into a human form, Xiao Yan is willing to let this Ganoderma lucidum punish him, instead of growing in the soil and not responding.

The plum garden was closed, and Xiao Yan stayed in the garden for a few days, and didn't even go to the morning court, so she pushed back on the grounds of being ill.

The little emperor and some of the marquis sent people to send medicines and gifts to the Grand Master's mansion privately, but Xiao Ni ignored it and stayed temporarily in the plum garden to watch the Ganoderma lucidum.

As time went by, the accumulated official duties increased a lot.

This day Xiao Yan was sitting at the desk writing official documents, facing the Ganoderma lucidum garden in the back mountain, and when his eyes were tired, he raised his head to look at the little Ganoderma lucidum in the garden.

Mr. Liu brought hot tea and snacks into the house to serve him, seeing that his master was doing well, he felt much more at ease.

Since the grand master found the ganoderma lucidum and lived in the plum garden, he slept more at night and felt much more peaceful.

The tiny stalk in the back mountain is really more effective than any rare medicinal materials and rare tranquilizing spices. Their master's heart medicine is actually such a small Ganoderma lucidum.

"Teacher, Wen Cheng and the others are waiting outside the hall and want to see you."

Xiao Yan took a sip of Snow Mountain Silver Needle lightly, his brows were a bit lazy and tired.

"Let them wait."

While several confidantes were waiting, Xiao Yan left the official documents on the desk and meandered towards the back mountain.

No snow today, slightly sunny, relatively strong wind.

In the place surrounded by the Ganoderma lucidum garden, even though there was an open hood to shield it from the wind, the small Ganoderma lucidum was still shaking slightly, and Xiao Yan had to protect it with his palm to stop shaking the tiny stipe.

Xiao Yan looked at the stipe that had not changed, and sighed very low.

In fact, he didn't know how to raise the ganoderma lucidum well, he was satisfied with what he could and should do, but there was no change in the little ganoderma lucidum.

It is always motionless, even if a very small and light wind leaks in, it can be blown tottering.

Xiao Yan was worried that its stipe would lie in the soil and wither and rot like the rotten trees around it.

Xiao Yan said: "Lingzhi, do you still remember the things in the cave mansion? I brought them back to Yandu. I built a loft in the Grand Master's mansion and put many things there."

He didn't mention wedding clothes, he didn't mention weaving a lot of Ganoderma lucidum and hiding them in the cabinet, for fear of making it sad and unhappy.

Xiao Yan sat with Xiao Lingzhi in the back mountain for a while, and then returned to the Book Pavilion. Several confidantes waited for half a day. They were so anxious that they reported carefully the changes in the situation in the court these days.

Regarding the oligarchs in the border town, Xiao Yan pushed a man named Meng Yu to the little emperor that day.

Meng Yu's official rank is not high, but he is backed by a military general. He has both civil and military skills, has an upright character, and has a good brain.

Moreover, Meng Yu was born in a poor family. He has experienced the pain of bereavement and the suffering of epidemics since he was a child. He has hatred for the local tyrants and evil gentry, so he can be reckless and retreat. When dealing with local tyrants, there is no need to do too much. concern.

The military generals have been watching since last year. After Xiao Yan returned to Yandu, he dealt with a few old foxes, and they had the intention of getting closer to Xiao Yan.

The payment of taxes in the border town was delayed for two years and owed a lot of money to the imperial court. Many people wanted to take power with the little emperor to deal with this matter.

If the matter is solved well, it will be a great contribution, the reward is small, and it is true to be promoted to consolidate the position.

Although this fat job is not easy to do, there are many people competing for it.Xiao Yan retreated smoothly this time, and asked them to confess his feelings and make a gesture.

Meng Yu was recommended by Xiao Yan, which aroused the jealousy and jealousy of many people in the court.On the surface, he did not dare to point out that Xiao Yan formed a party for personal gain, and privately spread some gossip, intentionally or unintentionally, so that the forces against Xiao Yan could take advantage of this to form a bond.

The little emperor turned a blind eye to the secret words against Xiao Yan. The grand master has the power to help him keep the country well.

Xiao Yan refused to go to court on the grounds of illness, which also attracted a lot of gossip.

Unable to understand Xiao Yan, someone came to the Grand Master's Mansion under the guise of a visit, wanting to see whether Xiao Yan was really sick or pretending to be sick.

Naturally, they didn't know that Xiao Yan watched Ganoderma lucidum every day here in the plum garden, and that he couldn't see anyone in the Grand Master's Mansion, or that he had squatted for nothing for a few days, and hated Xiao Yan even more, but they dared not provoke him openly.

As the new year is approaching, envoys from all over the world will come to Yandu to pay tribute to the emperor every year. With Xiao Yan's power there, it is impossible not to show up.

The confidant said: "These old dogs want to take advantage of the opportunity of all countries to pay homage to secretly make the grand master overpower the little emperor. If the grand master fulfills their wish, it will be a bad name for deceiving the emperor and opposing the country."

Several confidantes insisted on their own words, Xiao Yan glanced at their faces from the corner of the eye, smiling lazily.

"What are you fighting for, I will come forward,"

The confidant was stunned, and Qi Qi was speechless.

Wen Cheng was more courageous and said, "The Grand Master seems to be in a good mood."

Xiao Yan leaned on the grand teacher's chair: "Really."

maybe.

He turned his head to look at the Ganoderma lucidum garden in the back mountain, left behind a few confidants, and said, "Retire, I will go raise Ganoderma lucidum for a while."

Confidants: "..."

**

On New Year's Day, Yandu City was extremely lively.

When the envoys from various countries came to visit the court, Xiao Yan took a bath and changed clothes early. He wore dark court clothes and a gorgeous jade crown.

There were many rituals for visiting the worship, and after a whole day passed, the banquet started, and Xiao Yan was invited by the little emperor to sit down next to him.

Xiao Yan leaned lazily on the back, lowered his eyes and drank a few sips of plum wine casually.Although he restrained his momentum and sat beside the emperor of the Yan Dynasty, his majesty was even more than that of the emperor.

Song Ji Leling performed on the stage one after another. At this time, there was light snow and the cold wind kept the outside of the hall. Many court officials gathered together to drink wine and enjoy dancing and music. They seemed to be in harmony and getting along very happily.

Apart from the emperor, Xiao Yan was the only one sitting at the top of the room, so he received a lot of flattery.

Xiao Yan gave the talk to the emperor in a few words, with a smile that was not a smile, and she was humble and gentle in front of the emperor, looking like a righteous man and a virtuous minister.

The little emperor cooperated very well with Xiao Yan's demeanor. For a while, the picture of the emperor, the sage, and the minister made those who wanted to do bad things secretly grit their teeth.

In the middle half of the banquet, Xiao Yan held the wine glass, his fingers trembled slightly, and the wine spilled a little.

He raised his dark eyebrows, and the dark guard who came quietly appeared and whispered in his ear.

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yan was already in a posture of being overwhelmed with alcohol, leaving the banquet and rushing back to the plum garden.

The plum garden was quiet, and Xiao Yan's court clothes were covered with snow like goose feathers.

He walked in a hurry, and walked quickly into the back mountain without waiting for the servant to open the umbrella.

In the corner of the back mountain, Xiao Yan squatted in the hood with his knees bent, looking at a small stalk of Ganoderma lucidum withered and fallen, his soft eyebrows and eyes are as cold as ice and snow recently.

"How do you take care of it?!"

The snow outside the hood knelt down and guarded the ground.

Xiao Yan looked at the Ganoderma lucidum that had lost its stipe, her throat was choked up, and she felt a little at a loss.

What to do to keep it...

Xiao Yan didn't dare to touch the dying Ganoderma lucidum, he pinched the center of his brows: "Bring Mei Ruobai over here."

Anwei Fei usually pushed the man in the wheelchair to the back mountain, Xiao Yan didn't look back, and said: "Doctor Mei, what should I do to bring him back?"

Xiao Yan paused: "Come and see, it...does it want to..."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything later, Mei Ruobai glanced at the stalk, frowned, and continued his words.

"Master, this ganoderma is about to wither."

Xiao Yan sneered: "Impossible."

Mei Ruobai said: "This Ganoderma lucidum, it cannot absorb nutrients from the roots of rotten wood."

Xiao Yan stared at the stipe lying softly on the soil, her complexion turned pale, as if thinking of something, she suddenly got up.

The red rabbit horse galloped swiftly like a flame in the snowy night, Xiao Yan galloped to Mingling Temple, and broke into the main hall at night, Master Kong Wu was sitting alone under the Buddhist hall, knocking on the wooden fish.

Xiao Yan put his palms together in salute to Master Kongwu.

"Master, I found it, but I can't save it."

Master Kongwu turned his head and smiled lightly at him.

Xiao Yan frowned: "It's going to die."

Kong Wu sighed: "The grand master is talented and intelligent, but at this moment his eyes are blinded by a single leaf. The old monk has said that the grand master and him have a karmic cycle, and whatever cause is planted will reap the same fruit, and the reverse is also true."

Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the snow on the court clothes had not yet fallen, so he turned and left quickly.

"Thank you Master Kongwu."

Kong Wu stroked his beard and smiled, and continued to knock on the wooden fish.

In the years to come, there will only be a lot more money for incense in Lingming Temple.

The plum garden is a bit lively.

Xiao Yan's body was covered with snow, and his eyelashes were strung with ice.

The hidden guards with superb martial arts were holding umbrellas, carrying hot water, and followed behind the master impatiently.

Xiao Yan ignored it, and took a delicate jade porcelain flower pot from the garden. With his cold red palm, he slowly dug out the stalk that was so thin that it was about to wither, and planted it in the pot.

The jade porcelain flower pot was not as big as Xiao Yan's palm, so he put the porcelain pot in his sleeves and went straight back to the house, not allowing anyone to follow.

The stipe under the hazy light was extremely pitiful, Xiao Yan let out a breath of cold air and smiled at it.

The smile was extremely gentle, the kind Xiao Junqian would only show.

If you can't find it, you keep looking for it, and if you finally find it, you won't just watch it wither and die.

Xiao Yan took out a dagger that he carried with him, took off his court clothes, untied layers of clothes, pointed the sharp sword at his heart, slowly pierced the skin, and cut inward.

The causal cycle, the cause he planted, only he can end.

Xiao Yan's hard work is the nutrient that Ganoderma lucidum can absorb.

The author says:

A blood bag as big as our little Ganoderma lucidum appeared, cut it hard, and cutting too much will not hurt the body, dog's head.

To be fixed, thank you all!

Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: ears without rabbit paper, 10 bottles of Duyezhou; Aze, 516515385 bottles; 2 bottles of concert; Du Ruo, smiling Xiangnuan, Gu Rui, Mr. ,. . . 1 bottle;
