It was not half past, after dinner and tea, it was already the lunch break time for most working people. Qiu Ri tilted his neck slightly and rested his head on the clouds for a nap.
A door, a courtyard, an alley.
Outside the ajar wooden door is a yard filled with firewood and sundries.
Outside the courtyard is a winding small alley.
At this moment, unlike the hustle and bustle on the street, it was eerily quiet here.
The door opened.
The tiny squeaking sound reached the alley and could still be heard echoing.
The autumn wind blows slowly, and the door is not blown open by the wind, but naturally pushed open from the inside out.
It is not clear whether it was pushed open by humans or knocked open by cats, dogs and mice, because there was nothing behind the door.
After a long while, two figures flashed from the door into the courtyard and quickly closed the door.
Looking at them dressed like young men, they shouldn't be thieves, but when they look around, their actions and actions are just like thieves.
"Huh! These parents are so enthusiastic." The short young man breathed a sigh of relief, as if walking out of this door had exhausted all his energy for breastfeeding for nearly twenty years.
"It's not that you acted too hard. Look at how hard you smashed it. In order to join the group, I had to follow suit. Didn't you see that the shopkeeper was so distressed that his mouth was cramping? He was crying when he gave us the money. Face." Another slender man muttered, fanning himself quickly.
The tall one and the short one are naturally Mei Huaijin and Egg, who were telling stories in Youfu Inn just now. They had to cross a sea of people and go through many difficulties and dangers before they escaped in embarrassment from the audience who loved them.
"Hey! I acted hard, and you were so engrossed in what you said. At that moment, you really ignited the anger in my heart, and I almost cursed. Fortunately, I changed my words when I said it.
As for the shopkeeper, he feels so bad! ? How much real money have we made for him these days? Although it's a 50-50 split, it's still a big bargain for this old bastard. It just provides a venue. After all, it's the two of us who have to work so hard. "As soon as Egg started talking, he couldn't stop. It seemed that what he just said was not strong enough.
"Okay, okay, save your energy. You haven't said enough. I'm tired of saying it. Find a place to be clean and quiet." Mei Huaijin waved her hand impatiently and stopped Dan Dan's words.
"There are still people on the street for a while now. It would be weird if we weren't hugged by our parents when we showed up. We can only hide in small alleys." Egg said.
"Let's go, let's go." Before Egg finished speaking, Mei Huaijin walked out of the yard and urged.
"Hey! I don't know when the boss and the others will come back. I have saved up my money for a few days, so I think it should be enough for me." Egg walked very fast, and he had already caught up with him in a few steps.
"Just stay there with peace of mind. After the matter is settled, we will come back naturally. Let's save as much money as possible in the rear area. There will only be more places where we need to use the money, so as not to be short of money when it is needed at the critical moment. Stealing and robbing We have done what we did before, and there are many sects that we can attack, but now Kabuto..." This is how people are when they are irritable. Either they are so irritated that they don't want to say another word, or they are so irritated that they chatter endlessly and just want to express their feelings. Mei Huai Jin started to chirp without realizing it.
However, before the words were finished, Mei Huaijin shut her mouth. It felt like she had peed halfway and was not allowed to continue peeing, which was very uncomfortable.
But he could only hold it in because Egg had raised his hand to indicate that he should stop talking.
Clever Egg's understanding of martial arts is also a genius. In the past three years, his kung fu has not dropped even half a point, and he has become more and more sophisticated.
Although there was silence everywhere, it was obvious that he had noticed something unusual.
Mei Huaijin stopped talking, and the pause was quite timely. Looking back on what he said before, fortunately, not much key information was revealed.
Dandan spoke, but he deliberately controlled the volume, and said with a sound that could only be heard clearly in this alley: "Sneaking around is not what a hero does. How long do you plan to follow us, brother? "
Mei Huaijin was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help complaining: "Since I'm just sneaking around, I don't want to be a hero."
After finishing speaking, the egg was not seen returning to the top, and there was no reply from the alley. Mei Huaijin remained silent. Although he clearly saw that the egg's head was not moving, his eyes were not paying attention as he scanned the surroundings, and he could not tell who was following him. s position.
call out!
A sound of breaking through the air came from behind, and the two of them turned around almost at the same time.
The egg movement technique was even faster, and after turning around, he was already protecting Mei Huaijin.
When he saw the flying object, his vigilance relaxed a little, but doubts curled up his brows.
Snap!
A beige object fell at their feet.
It was a beige package. The package was not secure, and a lot of the contents had been scattered outside.
The things on the ground are very familiar to the two of them, and I am afraid that they will not be unfamiliar to anyone.
The beige mulberry paper is decorated with lace carvings of dragons and phoenixes, and the text of the Eight Sutras is written in the middle. There are deep red mud seals at the edges of the text.
What is this if not a banknote?
There are two banknotes, the one wrapped inside and the one slightly left outside are silver coins, white and shiny silver coins.
The denomination of the bank note was fifty taels. After a quick estimate, there were about one hundred and thirty taels of silver on the ground. This was the money that Egg and Mei Huaijin could get by talking and talking all afternoon.
Dandan understood immediately when he saw this, and did not go to pick up the money. He just said in the direction of the inn yard: "It seems that Xiongtai is unwilling to show up. In ancient times, there is a saying of throwing stones to ask for directions. Xiongtai, this money is really loud. Since If you have something to ask, just say it directly. If you can answer it, we will never say anything false."
"I want to work as a handyman in Siliangqianjin Hall. Do you two know the way?" The voice came faintly from the entrance of the alley. To the ears of Dandan, a fickle connoisseur, it was obvious that he was pinching his nose and pretending badly, but It's really ugly and very funny.
Could it be that this person is still acquainted with him?
Egg couldn't help but feel suspicious, but he already said: "I wonder what kind of handyman brother is going to beat?"
The person in the dark saw that the egg was very wise and did not ask for any additional information, so he simply said: "Apprentices who pick up medicine and pick up medicine are better."
Egg said: "Brother, you should know that it is already autumn, which is not the season for picking most medicinal herbs. There is no shortage of manpower in the major medicine halls, not to mention that the Four Liang Qianjin Hall has enough medicine disciples and has a more stringent recruitment process. The system, it’s not easy to get into it.”
"As expected." The man in the dark said, sighing softly.
Egg received no response, so he continued: "Since you have found me, you must have some trust in us. If you can believe that we are keeping secrets, you might as well tell us more information. We are also in the southwest region." Even after staying here for a few years, I may be able to prescribe the right medicine and give you some advice."
After a long silence, a voice in the dark said: "My ultimate goal is to enter the Netherworld Sect."
"Ha!" Mei Huaijin exclaimed in surprise after hearing the words "Netherworld Sect".
Egg obviously didn't expect this person to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment and then slowly said: "Brother is a cheerful person, but please give me some time and we can discuss it."
As expected, there was no response from the alley, but Dan Dan and Mei Huaijin were already talking to each other in low voices.
After a while, the discussion seemed to have reached a conclusion.
Egg raised his voice and said: "Brother, your luck is not bad. You have asked the right person and you have come at the right time. Now there is really a chance to sneak into the Nether Sect, but there is an important prerequisite."
"explain."
"Brother's skill is not a problem, but I wonder if he has any experience in dispensing medicine?"
"Understand a little bit."
"Okay, as long as brother has this foundation, this opportunity will come to you. Have you ever heard of Cangwu Yuntian Temple?"
"Never heard of it."
"Cangwu Mountain is located between Yuegui and Shu. There is a Yuntian Temple in the mountain that rarely touches the world. It is a Taoist temple where people seek immortality and seek enlightenment.
Yuntian Temple is not large in scale. Including the temple owner, there are three generations of disciples, but only a few dozen people.
The people in Taoist temples are not low in cultivation, and they also attach great importance to alchemy, which is consistent with the Netherworld Sect.
The number and types of elixirs refined by the Nether Sect have increased in recent years. Two years ago, they approached Yuntian Temple to seek cooperation. "
"cooperate?"
“The several elixirs newly developed by the Nether Sect need the ingredients refined by Yuntian Temple as auxiliary ingredients before they can become elixirs.
Every month, the Nether Sect will send people to the Yunding Heavenly Palace to buy medicines.
But you know, Taoist cultivators are always more arrogant, and the Nether Sect has suffered a lot from this.
The Nether Sect is not a peaceful leader. Although the cooperation is still continuing, conflicts have emerged and sooner or later they will intensify and break out. "
"learn."
"Brother, if you understand, it will be easier to handle.
Yuntian Guan's medicine refining is inseparable from medicinal materials, and when it comes to medicinal materials, how can they not be separated from Si Liang Qian Jin Tang, especially the Si Liang Qian Jin Tang in Hanyang Village.
Niubi's bad temper was also disliked by Si Liang Qian Jin Tang. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Cangwu Mountain was not easy to climb.
Yuntian Guan is not short of money, and every month he prepares a list of the required medicinal materials for 42,000 Jin Tang, and the people in the medicine hall deliver them up the mountain.
After being sent to the mountain, they also had to help prepare medicines and make medicines. They could stay on the mountain for more than ten days at a time. "
"The Four Liang Qianjin Hall is in need of people to do errands?"
"It saves trouble to talk to a smart person like Xiongtai. Of course, it's easy to say that the key point depends entirely on Xiongtai's personal performance. We can't help you with the rest. Xiongtai, this money is for you. There are too many, and we deserve it.”
"It's okay. Thanks for the advice. I'll say goodbye."
As soon as he heard that the man in the dark was about to leave, Egg quickly said: "Brother, wait a minute!"
"What's the matter?"
"Brother, do you really don't want to show up? I've already guessed who you are."
