The note left by the old man said No. 1 Zuihuali, Rongcheng. Yan Shouyi checked it on his mobile phone and found that the location was on Guling on the eastern outskirts of Rongcheng.
Guling is like a barrier connecting heaven and earth, blocking Rongcheng and the sea, allowing Rongcheng, a coastal city, to be protected from typhoons. Therefore, Guling has been the most sacred existence in the hearts of the people of Rongcheng since ancient times. Many
In summer, people still go to Guling to escape the heat.
Yan Shouyi didn't think too much about the old man's home in Guling. After folding the note and putting it in his bag, he and Long Feicheng went to Lao Jin's Huichun Hall.
The door of Huichun Hall is open, and you can smell the musty smell of medicine from a distance of more than 20 meters.
Lao Jin was sitting in front of the store, chatting with the shoe seller next door. He didn't go out for a stroll this time, presumably because he was waiting for Yan Shouyi and the others.
Seeing Yan Shouyi from a distance, Lao Jin couldn't help but stand up, shook his yellowed white vest, waved his cattail leaf fan and shouted:
"Here! Here!"
"Lao Jin, with your figure, your forehead, and your strange smell in the drug store, it's hard for us not to see you!" Long Feicheng greeted with a smile.
Lao Jin chuckled, took out the cigarettes he had prepared a long time ago, and threw them to the two of them: "In my line of work, the clothes are too nice and clean. Customers always think that we make more money, so we will drive down the price."
Long Feicheng didn't believe it. He thought Lao Jin was just looking for an excuse for his sloppiness.
Yan Shouyi smiled and greeted Lao Jin, and then asked:
"Lao Jin, are you ready for my medicine?"
Lao Jin hooked his fingers and said, "Follow me."
"This trick again?" Long Feicheng was still frightened. After the experience last time, he was no longer willing to follow Lao Jin around.
Lao Jin was embarrassed and said: "Don't think too much, the medicine is just in the shop. If you don't want to come in, just forget it. I'll go in and get it. It will be quick!"
After saying that, Lao Jin went into the drug store and rummaged through the cabinets to find it.
Yan Shouyi followed Lao Jin into the medicine shop and looked around on the medicine shelf. When he encountered some medicinal materials, he even pinched off a small section with his fingernail and put it in his mouth to taste.
Seeing this, Long Feicheng couldn't help but said: "Brother Yan, be careful. Although Lao Jin's food says that it won't kill you, it can cause diarrhea..."
"It's not that exaggerated. I know some pharmacology at least." Yan Shou said with a smile.
At this time, Lao Jin came out holding a brocade box and put his hands in front of Yan Shouyi: "Here, this is the medicine you want."
"That's it?" Long Feicheng asked doubtfully.
Yan Shou took the brocade box and opened it. Inside, there were nine brown elixirs the size of a small fingernail wrapped in gold silk cloth.
Lao Jin explained: "I know how to refine the Yuan Soul Gathering Pill that day. I didn't plan to use it at first, but I collected the medicinal materials you asked for the day before. I just practiced it for fun when I had nothing to do. You can see how it turns out.
?”
Yan Shou picked up a pill, put it in his palm, rolled it gently and looked at it.
The elixir is plump and round in appearance and bright in color. An elixir of this quality cannot be made by ordinary people, not to mention that the refining techniques of the Tianyuan Soul Gathering Pill are extremely complicated. Even Yan Shouyi himself has made it.
Possibility of failure.
He held the elixir in front of his nose and smelled it. The fragrance was fragrant and the heat was just right.
Pinch off a small amount and put it in your mouth. The particles are distinct and melt in your mouth!
"Lao Jin, even if your skills were at the peak of the Qihuang Sect, you could still be an elder, right?" Yan Shouyi said with emotion, "Fortunately, you took action. If I were to come, even if I succeeded, I would have to
It’s a waste of most of the medicinal materials.”
Being praised by Yan Shouyi, Lao Jin was so happy that he shook his cattail leaf fan a few times faster: "It's not me, but now, no one in the Qihuang sect is better than me in this skill!"
"Lao Jin, how many people are left in your Qihuang sect?" Long Feicheng asked curiously.
Lao Jin replied: "Anyway, I don't know any of them."
"...No wonder you dare to say that you are number one."
Knowing the current situation of the Qihuang Sect, Yan Shouyi couldn't help but sigh. When he followed his grandfather to learn the medical skills of the Qihuang Sect recorded in Lu Ban's book, his grandfather was full of praise for the Qihuang Sect, but at the same time he regretted the fate of the Qihuang Sect.
Today, only Lao Jin is left in the huge Qihuang sect, and he must always be on guard against people from the Hanshang sect coming to visit him.
Therefore, even if Lao Jin had the ability, he would not dare to branch out for fear of retaliation.
"Lao Jin, do you have pens and paper in your store?" Yan Shouyi suddenly asked.
Lao Jin was stunned: "Yes, there is it in the drawer. What do you want to do?"
Yan Shouyi didn't answer, walked to the counter, took out a pen and paper from the drawer, and then immersed himself in writing straightly.
In one cigarette, Yan Shouyi filled three pieces of paper with writing. He laid the three pieces of paper flat on the table and blew lightly to make the ink dry faster.
"Lao Jin, come here and take a look."
"What did you write?"
Lao Jin came forward and took a look, and was immediately shocked.
"This, this is the Taiyin version of "Taishi Tianyuan Book"?!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.
Yan Shou nodded: "Yes, this is as a thank you for refining elixirs for me. To be honest, it has no use if I keep it, but it is of great significance to you Qihuang sect people."
"Yes, you are right!" Lao Jin's hands trembled with excitement, and his eyes even turned red: "Shouyi, thank you. I represent my father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and my ancestors.
Thank you eighteen generations!"
"Ahem, that's too harsh..."
Long Feicheng was on the side, and fell into an awkward and unnecessary state again. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yan, Lao Jin, what is the "Taishi Tianyuan Book"?"
Yan Shouyi explained: "I told you before that the founder of the Qihuang sect is the ancient doctor Qi Bo. The full name of his Suwen is "Huangdi Neijing·Suwen". The Huangdi Neijing was created by Huangdi, but "Suwen"
" is written by Qi Bo. "Suwen" is divided into nine volumes, the upper five Taiyin volumes and the lower four Taiyin volumes.
Most of them have been lost. What you see now is the 24-volume version revised by Wang Bing in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, "Taishi Tianyuan Book" is the nine-volume Taiyin volume in "Suwen", which writes:
The theory of using the heaven, earth and stars to simulate the acupuncture points and meridians of the human body is the most profound and essential volume in "Su Wen"."
Lao Jin said: "That's right, even our descendants of the Qihuang Sect no longer have the original text of "Taishi Tianyuan Book". I thought I was destined to miss it in this life, but I didn't expect to find it again today! What a joy, what a congratulation.
ah!"
"I don't understand "Taishi Tianyuan Book" either. I just memorized it by rote back then. Now that I happen to meet a descendant of your Qihuang sect, I think it has been returned to its original owner." Yan Shou said with a smile.
Lao Jin was grateful and carefully folded the three pieces of paper and stored them close to him.
He said: "There is no way to repay a great kindness. I, Lao Jin, swear here that from now on, Xiao Yan, your affairs are my Lao Jin's affairs, and I will not hesitate to go through fire or water!"
Yan Shouyi immediately said: "Okay, I happen to need help here for something, why don't you come with me?"
"Forehead???"
Lao Jin suddenly choked. He seemed to see a big pit in front of him. Yan Shouyi and Long Feicheng were standing on the edge of the pit, holding shovels in their hands, waiting for him to jump down.
But the words had just been let out, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "What, what's the matter?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. If you have nothing to do this afternoon, come with us to the north of the city. I'm going to a bad guy's altar to get the soul of an elder in the family. After I get the soul, I'd like you to help him return his soul.
Please give him some medicine to recuperate his body and try not to leave any sequelae." Yan Shouyi replied.
Long Feicheng understood. It turned out that Yan Shouyi was anxious to come to Lao Jin first instead of going to Zhou Mingyuan's altar to find Chen Dawei's soul. This was his plan.
At first, he was a little dissatisfied because Yan Shouyi "forgot his loyalty".
Thinking about it now, I can't help but feel a little guilty.
When Lao Jin heard that the matter was so simple, he closed the door of the drug store without saying a word, and carrying a big medicine box on his back, he said: "It turns out it's such a small thing, so what are you waiting for? I'll drive you there!"
"
"Oh, I can't tell, Lao Jin, you still have a car?" Long Feicheng teased.
Lao Jin laughed: "I, Lao Jin, have been in Rongcheng for so many years, and it's not in vain!"
