Chapter 26 Lidu Pharmacy
Lidu is just a small city, which is famous for the existence of the 100-year-old school of Guixianmen. However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Li is a rich small city, inn, a restaurant, a brothel, a martial arts arena. There is everything here, but in terms of scale, there is no way to compare with a big city like Kyoto. .
In addition, Li is an ancient city. Before the establishment of the Ghost Fairy Gate, Li was here.
Ji Zeyan and Lin Qinglong suddenly appeared in a relatively quiet street. There were few passers-by on this street, but some people still saw the two people suddenly appear and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why did you come here? Didn't you go to the Ghost Fairy Gate?" Lin Qinglong looked around and asked, "Look at the place you chose. Aren't you the most hidden person? But someone suddenly appeared when they saw us."
"I need to buy some medicinal materials and alchemy. There is still a long way to go to the Ghost Fairy Gate from here. Let's walk there later. There is a drawback of ghost escape. You must pass by once in advance. You have to go everywhere again, and it will be convenient for ghost escape in the future. Ji Zeyan is a shrewd person. Some small things are easy to plan perfectly. Lin Qinglong nodded.
Both of them had extraordinary foot strength. After a while, they came to a pharmacy. The pharmacy was not big. The furnishings inside were a little old, but there was an antique charm. Looking at the sun's head, it was noon. At this time, no one took the medicine. The pharmacy was very deserted, and only an old shopkeeper was calculating.
Listening to the crackling sound of the abacus, Lin Qinglong and Ji Zeyan walked towards the old shopkeeper.
"Lao Ji! You haven't come to me for a day!" When the old shopkeeper saw someone coming, he rested his hand. Obviously, it was an old acquaintance of Ji Zeyan. "The last time I took the elixir you refined, the gloomy spirit in my chest really dissipated. You really deserve to be an 'empty medicine man'. As soon as the ordinary medicinal materials arrived in your hands, it immediately became a fairy elixir!"
Ji Zeyan nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your praise. How can you be so god? People, it depends on your life!"
"This Junjie is..." The old shopkeeper looked at Lin Qinglong, who was standing beside Ji Zeyan. He was very familiar with Ji Zeyan and would meet him every once in a while, but he had never seen this teenager.
"This is my disciple. He may help me come here to get medicine in the future, but he still doesn't know the medicine. If he comes in the future, you can give him my commonly used medicinal herbs!" Ji Zeyan turned his head and said to Lin Qinglong, "Xiao Linzi, you will call the old shopkeeper Zhang Lao in the future."
Lin Qinglong nodded slightly and said, "My name is Lin Qinglong. I will trouble Mr. Zhang in the future."
Mr. Zhang smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line, and nodded repeatedly, "It's good. Lao Ji is blessed to have a good disciple." He bent down, picked up a large bag of medicinal herbs, and said, "I knew you would come for a long time. I'm ready, ginseng, mustard, children's tea, star anise, lilac, knife beans, three or seven, enough!"
Ji Zeyan said, "A little more this time. Come ten times. If he is interested in learning my alchemy, he will consume a lot of medicinal herbs!"
"Ten times--?" Mr. Zhang looked at the big package of medicinal herbs in front of him in surprise. "This medicinal material is very heavy. I'm afraid you two can't hold so many medicinal herbs."
"My disciple has a treasure called the Qiankun bag. This Qiankun bag can put the sun, the moon and the universe into it. How can't you put down your medicine? You just take as much as you want."
Mr. Zhang was secretly surprised when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, I can give you all the medicinal materials in the warehouse. I'll prepare them right away!" After saying that, he quickly turned around and went to the back hall. Mr. Zhang would never neglect Ji Zeyan.
Looking at Mr. Zhang's back gradually fading away, Ji Zeyan sighed: "It's really not easy for this old man to open a medicine shop alone. From the early morning, he has to buy goods by himself, go to the village to buy herbs from the mountain people, and then return to the shop, classify the drugs, and have to calculate and buy medicine by himself. He is also a buddy and a palm. Cabinet, it's really hard."
"Why didn't he hire some guys?"
"Maybe it's because of his personality. He likes to live alone."
Lin Qinglong asked again, "Don't he have children and grandchildren?" If there are children and grandchildren to take care of him, his life should be better. He doesn't have to work so hard.
Ji Zeyan's face changed slightly when he heard the words. He took a strange look at Lin Qinglong and sighed, "He originally had a son and a grandson, but... Alas, it's all my fault!"
Lin Qinglong would like to hear more about it, and Ji Zeyan said.
It turned out that this old man was 120 years old this year. His son had already passed away, and his grandson also passed away a few years ago. Ji Zeyan just said that he was to blame for the phenomenon that caused Mr. Zhang's lonely life, because 80 years ago, Ji Zeyan was still a child at that time, a ghost. The little ghost who was tortured by the soul was an orphan and a beggar. He risked his death to come to Lidu alone to look for the Ghost Fairy Gate. He passed by here and fell ill here. It was Zhang Lao here who saved him and treated him very well. He not only invited Lang Zhong to cure his illness, but also gave him a clean bath and changed into new clothes and trousers. .
At that time, Ji Zeyan naturally thanked him a lot. Later, he went to the Ghost Fairy Gate. On the one hand, he mastered the ghost magic in the door and began to learn alchemy, because the alchemist needed a lot of medicinal materials when he was alchemy. At that time, he was still young and planned to buy Zhang Lao's medicinal materials for the rest of his life to be grateful. This idea is now back. It's a little ridiculous to think about it, but that's what Ji Zeyan thought at that time, and now, he has become a famous empty medicine man in the world. Zhang Lao is right. Once the ordinary medicinal materials are in Ji Zeyan's hands, they can become the most precious elixir!
I remember that when Ji Zeyan was 16 years old, he heard that Mr. Zhang was suffering from a serious illness and was already terminally ill. He was about to walk. The moment of gratitude finally came!
He spent all his energy on alchemy and refined the elixir of great tonic, Sheben pills!
Because Zhang Lao's cause is precisely because he is old, and what he needs is a new source in his own body. This is the birth of Sheben Pill. Until today, Sheben Pill is one of the big tonics commonly used by monks.
"In this regard, Mr. Zhang survived, but his life turned out to be another 80 years! At that time, I didn't control the medicinal power of Sheben Pill. I didn't expect that the situation would develop to this point. It was because of this that I made Mr. Zhang witness the death of his lover and son, and even his grandson was old, and his original friends kept leaving him one after another. Now Mr. Zhang has become a taciturn and lonely person, which is all my cause.
Ji Zeyan said faintly and continued, "I know that because I didn't save the matchmaker twice, you have more or less a pimple in your heart. It is precisely because I'm afraid of interfering in her fate. Sometimes, saving people is harmful, but killing people is a kind of redemption."
Saving people is harmful, but killing is a kind of redemption?
Lin Qinglong chewed this sentence carefully and felt a lot of feelings. At this time, Mr. Zhang carried a hemp bag with difficulty. He thought it was medicinal herbs. Lin Qinglong quickly helped to take it over, put the medicinal herbs into the Qiankun bag, and then took a big ingot of 100 taels and handed it to Mr. Zhang Lao. He wanted to make Mr. Zhang's life better. You don't have to work so hard.
However, Mr. Zhang resolutely refused and said, "This is the medicinal material of the old summary. How can I register? They are all friends. How can I accept my friends' money? Then what kind of person did I become! Usually, I have a headache, and it's all Lao Ji who helps to take care of me!"
Later, several people said something more. Lin Qinglong finally said, "I, Xiao Linzi, will come to bother you in the future. Don't be surprised!"
After saying this, he and Ji Zeyan finally left the pharmacy.
Mr. Zhang is a good old man, but I don't know why, Lin Qinglong can't let go after listening to his story. He is a little depressed. How painful is the old man who witnessed his descendants leaving one by one? Should a monk change the fate of ordinary people without authorization?
Ji Zeyan has not understood these problems for decades, and Lin Qinglong is even more confused.
After buying the medicinal herbs, the two people walked towards the post hall.
...................................................... Gorgeous dividing line..........................................
Remember to give me the tickets! Although this is nonsense, I have to say it, because I have too few tickets. I'm very depressed today. Some people say whether I'm typing or begging... o()〈))o alas! Of course, there are some authors who never ask for votes and never say any nonsense in the chapters, but I have nonsense in almost every chapter. Of course, I'm a little ashamed, but I have to ask for it because I have few votes.
So... give me the ticket!
