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 gate, a courtyard, and 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 surprisingly 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, they behave like thieves.
"Huh! These parents are so enthusiastic." The short young man breathed a long sigh of relief, as if walking out of this door had exhausted all the energy he had spent on breastfeeding for nearly twenty years.
"It's not that you acted too hard. Look at the energy with which you smashed. In order to join the group, I had to follow suit. Didn't you see that the shopkeeper was so distressed that his mouth cramped, and he cried 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 the 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 being surrounded by the gentlemen who loved them.
"Hey! I acted very hard, and you were so engrossed in what you said. At that moment, I was really ignited by you, and I almost cursed. Fortunately, I changed my words when I said it.
As for the shopkeeper, how sorry is he? How much real money have we made for him these days? Even if we give him a 50-50 split, it’s still a big bargain for this old bastard. He just provides a venue, and it’s so exhausting.
It's still the two of us." Once Egg started talking, he couldn't stop, as if what he just said was completely insufficient.
"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 the egg'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 Dan Dan 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 will be enough for me." Egg walked very fast, catching up with him in a few steps.
"Just stay here 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..." This is what people do when they are irritable. They are either 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 themselves. Mei Huai
Jin started to chirp without realizing it.
However, before the words were finished, Mei Huaijin closed 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 so that it was just audible in this alley, and said: "Sneaking around is not what a hero does. How long do you plan to follow us?
"
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 echo from the alley. Mei Huaijin remained silent. He clearly saw that although the head of the egg was not moving, his eyes were not paying attention as he scanned the surroundings, and he could not tell who was following him.
location.
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 Body 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 of the package had fallen 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.
If this is not a banknote, what is it?
There are two banknotes, the one wrapped inside and the one lying outside are silver taels, white silver taels.
The denomination of the banknote was fifty taels. After a quick estimate, there were about one hundred and thirty taels of silver on the ground. These were eggs, and Mei Huaijin could earn money by talking and talking in an afternoon of hard work.
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, neither of us will tell you any lies."
"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 holding 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 become suspicious, but he already said, "I wonder what kind of handyman you want to beat?"
The man in the dark saw that Egg was very smart and did not ask for any additional information, so he simply said: "It is better to be an apprentice who picks up medicine."
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 major medicine halls, not to mention that Siliang Qianjin Hall has enough medicine disciples and has a more stringent recruitment process.
The system is not easy to get into."
"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 tight-lipped, you might as well tell us more information. We are also in the southwest region."
Even after staying here for several 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 join 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 said slowly: "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 Yue Gui 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, and they approached Yuntian Temple two years ago to seek cooperation."
"cooperate?"
"The several elixirs newly developed by the Netherworld Sect require ingredients refined by Yuntian Temple as auxiliary ingredients before they can be made into elixirs.
Every month, the Nether Sect will send people to the Yunding Heavenly Palace to purchase and prepare 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 explode."
"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 it be separated from Si Liang Qian Jin Tang, especially the Si Liang Qian Jin Tang in Hanyang Village.
Niubi's bad temper was not favored by Si Liang Qian Jin Tang, which of course was related to the fact that Cangwu Mountain was not easy to climb.
Yuntian Guan was not short of money, so every month he would prepare a list of the required medicinal materials and send them to the 4-liang Qianjin Hall, which would be sent up the mountain by the people in the medicine hall.
After they are sent to the mountain, they also have to help with the preparation of medicines and medicines, and they can 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 is easy to say that the key point depends entirely on Xiongtai's personal performance. We can't help you with the rest of the matter. Xiongtai has this money to give
There are too many, and we deserve it.”
"It's okay, thank you for the advice, let's just 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."
