"You're such a good guy, thank you."
The old man came over and stretched out his hand. Tianyue slowly took out the medicine. When Fang took it out, the old man grabbed it with both hands and almost caught Tianyue's hand. The old man put the medicine in his arms, and then looked at Tianyue's medicine box. There were many things in it, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"I heard that I was treating a child. What about the child?"
"He, he," the old man held the medicine firmly in his arms, sat down, turned around, his eyes were crystal clear, and he was sobbing somewhere.
"Old man?"
After sobbing for a while, when Tianyue asked again, the old man opened his mouth and said:
"I met him yesterday. I brought him here. Today, I saw that he had a high fever and asked him to stay here. I went to the city to get him medicine, but who knows, when I came back, he didn't know how to run away. Where has he gone! Poor child? I don't know where he has gone before I even have time to ask his name? It's all my incompetence. I don't know if anyone will bury me in the future. "
The old man cried loudly, looking at the sky and the moon while crying. When Tianyue heard this, her expression changed.
'Isn't this prescription for treating cough due to yin deficiency? Don’t know the name yet? I am really just asking for trouble. '
The old man was still crying, looking very pitiful.
Tianyue rolled her eyes at him, turned around and left.
The old man cried, cried, and cried for a long time. When he looked closely, he saw that Tianyue had already gone away.
"Huh? Leave? Just like that, don't show any indication? Bah, these people will pretend to be good people and won't show any indication when it's time to get money. Disgusting, sanctimonious!"
"Humph, forget it. I still have some money. Well, let's eat first and then go for a walk in the city. By the way, today is the day to test the spiritual roots. Then this medicine is the panacea given to me by the immortal master! Hahaha!"
The old man laughed loudly and went back.
Tianyue hid in the corner, watching everything.
'What a fool I am. It turns out that my self-righteous kindness is worthless. It’s just that I value it, maybe I’m deceiving myself. '
Tianyue turned around and felt something under his feet, touching him and making him jump. He quickly touched the dagger and was about to take it out. After taking a closer look, I saw it clearly, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a little yellow dog, which quietly ran behind me, barking softly and wagging its tail feebly.
Looking at it, I estimated that it was two to three months old. It was very thin. It looked like it was malnourished and very weak.
"Little guy, you must be starving!"
I walked over and picked it up. The puppy wanted to struggle, but he didn't have the strength to do it. He couldn't do it and his bark was very small.
'Why don't you see the bitch? This size should follow my mother's. '
After looking around for a few times, I felt a smell coming from me. I smelled it and felt very disgusting.
'It looks like something is rotten. '
Holding the puppy in my arms, I followed the smell and found the bodies of several dogs in a dilapidated cabin. One big one and three small ones. Their bodies were already covered with flies and the smell was overwhelming.
Tianyue felt like vomiting for a while, and looked at the corpses. They were small, similar to the ones in her arms. She thought they were from the same child. There was a lot of foam around the bitch's mouth. She probably ate something she shouldn't have eaten. If she died, there would be no one to take care of her little one.
A trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he looked around to see if anyone was still alive. I looked around and found none.
"You should be the only one left. In my family, I am the only one left. If you are willing, follow me from now on."
Tear the meat you bought into small shreds and put it on the ground. The puppy was very hungry and ate it there.
"Eat slowly, there's plenty left. Don't be in a hurry!"
Looking at the pile of corpses, I took a few more glances. Immediately, he took out his dagger, dug a pile of soil, and buried them all.
"Go, go, what goes, comes, what comes, comes."
After it was done, the little guy was full and followed Tianyue, wagging his tail and barking slightly louder.
"I'll take it as if you followed me voluntarily. Come on, little one."
Holding the puppy in his arms, he walked back. As soon as they reached the main road, they met the old man. He was stopping a family of people who seemed to be from out of town and selling them the medicine Tianyue had given him.
"The immortal master saw that I was doing good deeds and gave me this medicine. It prolongs life and strengthens the body. It is an absolute panacea, an excellent thing. I think I am destined to you. Fifty taels! Fifty taels! Consider it a gift to you. ”
"You are fooling yourself and treating others as fools, right? Get out of here, we have to go to the city and delay the test. You are the one who will look good!"
The family member's attitude was not very good. He cursed a few times and then raised his hand to hit me. The old man looked disdainful.
"You are blind. Bah! If you don't know the truth, there will be others." Just as he was saying this, he turned around to look for other people. Suddenly, he saw Tianyue holding a dog. The old man's face suddenly turned ugly, he turned around, took the medicine, and ran into the woods in a few steps.
Tianyue looked at his series of actions, smiled, and returned to the city with the puppy.
...
Liangcheng, the main square.
The city lord and the famous people in the city stood here one by one, with all kinds of soft goods behind them, waiting somewhere. Immortal masters naturally disdain those who are weak, but if someone detects spiritual roots, they must establish a good relationship with them as soon as possible. When the time comes, these pieces will come in handy.
The children at the front of the queue were all dressed in fine clothes. It was obvious that they were all children from rich or noble families. Except for those in the front and those in the back, it all depends on who comes early and who comes late. As for whether to jump in line or not, not many people care about it, as long as you don't jump in the front.
The time had come, and two figures flew across the sky, leaving a string of swift shadows on the ground. After a while, two flying swords appeared on the square.
Wind rose from the ground, and the flying sword flashed and disappeared. Two figures fell steadily from the sky lightly. A man and a woman, with fairy aura and extraordinary aura, landed gently in front of everyone and landed on the prepared stage.
"We sincerely welcome the two immortal masters." The city lord took the lead, and a bunch of people followed and saluted.
"No need to be polite. No more nonsense. Start testing."
The city lord was about to step forward and wanted to say some official polite words, but the male cultivator spoke directly without giving the city lord a chance to come forward. They also didn’t drink the tea prepared for them and ate those fruit snacks. The city lord is not annoyed, nor does he dare to be annoyed, so he can laugh with him.
The two monks waved their hands, the storage ring flashed, and three things appeared. A booklet, ten crystal balls, and a five-pointed star formation.
"Next, listen to me. Wait, come up in groups of ten, each of you will take a crystal ball, then stand in the formation and stand quietly for a while. The formation will flash a light. Light flash After that, if the crystal ball in your hand lights up, it means you have the spiritual root and should stay. If it doesn’t light up, it means you don’t have it. Put the crystal ball back and you can go down. Do you understand?"
The female cultivator's voice was a little softer when facing a group of children.
"Understood!" a group of children replied unevenly. They already knew what to do. Although it is very simple, this simple action almost determines the life of most people.
I saw the two of them working together, injecting spiritual power into the formation and driving it. The formation suddenly expanded, reflecting a burst of spiritual light, standing there. Mortals are amazed when they see it.
"Okay, the first ten come first."
The nun made a move and ten children came up. The people below were talking a lot, saying that he was the noble son of that family or the young lady of that family. The relatives of these children, standing aside, looked even more nervous than the children. Although we all know that the possibility is extremely low, we still look forward to the crystal ball lighting up.
The ten children saluted politely, then took the crystal balls and stood in the formation. Seeing this, a bunch of people became nervous.
A ray of light appeared in the formation and began to outline the shape of a five-pointed star. The light flowed through the bodies of those children, as if something special had penetrated them, and yet it seemed as if nothing had happened.
After a few clicks, the five-pointed star was outlined and the entire formation lit up. The light lasted for a while and then dissipated.
The ten children looked at the crystal ball in their hands, but none of them lit up. One by one, they wanted to cry, but they held back.
"No, next batch."
The monks don't care about these things, they have seen too much, too much.
Immediately, there were another batch, and another batch, but none of them lit up.
