Chapter 8 The Little Magician

"It's amazing. Ake pulled a few trucks of herbal medicines back. Come and see it!"

Boyouzi ran around the halls and courts in a row, and then everyone told each other that this amazing good news immediately spread throughout Chaotian Palace.

Xishan Taoist Temple, the head of Nanyangzi and his eldest disciple Jiang Hao, had not returned yet, Xie Lingyun disappeared early in the morning. There were only lead and mercury in the Taoist Temple. Hengbao was doing morning classes in the chanting room. When they heard this, they were shocked and suspicious. How many trucks of medicinal materials were pulled back? Hengbao immediately rushed out, jumped and rode on Changsheng in the courtyard, and drove it away with a sound.

"Wait for me." Master Lead and Mercury chased after him, and no one was waiting for him. When he came to the courtyard in front of the Sanqing Zheng Hall, there was already a large circle of people in the courtyard. They were all happy, especially Hengbao laughed constantly: "That's great, what dots dolls dolls are like? Is it valuable? Haha, senior brother, you really have it!"

After squeezing into the crowd, he saw that the wooden carts inside were filled with all kinds of grass and medicinal herbs. As the chief alchemy Taoist priest of Chaotian Palace, Uncle Lead and Mercury Master was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person in the audience. He took a breath of air conditioning in an instant and was frightened quickly... These medicinal herbs are worth more than 200 taels!

"Ake...how did you do it?" Uncle Master asked blankly.

Everyone has this question. Could it be that Ake has received help from the gods and the ancestors come to save them, the alchemy children?

Everyone looked at Xie Ke'er standing by the cart and smiling. His white Confucian shirt was covered with mud, spots, cloth shoes were covered with mud, and his black hair was very messy with Xiaoyao towel. His outfit was the same as yesterday, and he obviously hadn't taken a shower or changed clothes. However, he looked energetic and had a sense of excitement in his smile.

Xie Lingyun smiled at them and said, "I spent all night picking the ones on the mountain, how about it?"

"Okay, great! Senior brother is so capable!" Without a word, Hengbao applauded hard.

Master Lead and Mercury immediately felt ridiculous and said with a lot of laughter and cry: "Just fool the child. Can one person pick so many? We can't do it together." The others naturally didn't believe it, and they asked curiously what was going on.

"The mountain people have their own tricks, don't worry, it's all." Xie Lingyun laughed and didn't tell them. It's not that he doesn't trust anyone, but there are often unintentional mistakes. "The Return to the Sect of All Laws" is a treasure, and the monk's bowl is also a treasure. Both are priceless treasures. People here are so talkative, how can they talk nonsense? If it is leaked by a big mouth, it will be troublesome to attract a group of flies to go up the mountain to compete. You have to report these things first before making a decision.

Master Lead and Mercury still refused to give up and thought hard, "I can't figure it out..."

"Oh, uncle, don't think about it!" Xie Lingyun went up and punched him in the shoulder, sneering: "Anyway, I have not committed a crime. These are all plants and trees in our Yecheng Mountain. Benshan people just used a small spell to speed up the picking. I can't tell you what's going on for the time being."

"Little spell? Then you... well, okay." Uncle Lead Mercury wanted to ask where the little spell came from, but suddenly shut up again. This nephew's life is mysterious. The senior brother of the sect had already told Ake about things, so he didn't even break the bastard. This time, Ake should have used some killer weapon.

Since he didn't ask, no matter how curious the others were, they had to stop. Hengbao didn't care about that much, and was running around a few carts, laughing constantly, and shouting: "Senior brother, then you must teach me that little spell in the future!"

"Of course I have to teach you!" Xie Lingyun smiled and shouted loudly: "Everyone doesn't have to worry about money. I have found a solution! These medicinal materials are worth at least 200 taels, and how much more is needed, I will go to the mountains outside the city to collect herbs-"

"Okay!", "It's time!" Everyone suddenly burst into laughter, and the big rock in their hearts fell. They could finally sleep peacefully tonight. Although Ke Ge'er is young, he is steady and never swears. He said that there is a way, then there must be a way!

The young face had a bright smile, and Xie Lingyun laughed and shouted again: "Let's go to Hejifang to sell them now!"

"Let's go down the mountain, let's go down the mountain!" Hengbao ran happily in front of him to lead the way.

"Hey, A Ke, have you had breakfast?" Seeing them pushing a few carts away quickly, the uncle of the lead and mercury master who was responsible for guarding the mountain behind shouted.

"Let's stop eating, let's go down the mountain to have a big meal. Uncle Master, you can only be hungry for Changsheng, haha!"

A large group of people pulled these five carts of medicinal materials and happily headed straight to Hejifang, west of Jinling City. Time was tight, so they didn't have time to dry the medicinal materials. They sold them directly regardless of whether they were used during alchemy or not, and then bought the finished medicinal materials that had been prepared.

Hejifang is one of the large pharmacies in the city. The plague in Jiangnan decades ago was prevalent. Lu Tai, a great scholar who was the prefect of Jinling, mobilized wealthy businessmen in the city, and the officials and the people jointly established this semi-free pharmacies. When the pharmacies were first opened, Chaotian Palace donated a lot of money and property. Xie Lingyun often came to help and diagnose the people for free. The relationship between the two parties was quite good.

This time, the guys saw them bringing fresh plants and trees from the five-board truck. After learning about their purpose, they were also very surprised. When did the Taoist of Chaotian Palace become a medicine farmer? There are so many more...

Manager Li ordered the goods himself. He had a good relationship with Nanyangzi. He knew that Chaotian Palace was in a difficult situation now, so he naturally would not add any harm. The price was very fair, especially the largest Polygonum multiflorum, which could be sold for more than 100 taels.

Finally, when the five carts were empty, Xie Lingyun and his group got nearly 300 taels of silver. Thinking about the fact that they sold out the entire Taoist temple yesterday, it was only 200 taels. It was a big gain!

Everyone's faces were as happy as they were, so happy that Xie Lingyun took them to the nearby Zuixian Restaurant... The Fuji bun shop not far away was full. Before leaving, they packed several cages and prepared to take them back to the Taoist temple for the uncle and the others to eat.

In the afternoon, I heard that the yamen had posted a yellow paper list for the tax pill theft case, saying that they would offer a reward for the thief. Xie Lingyun asked Master Boyou and his friends to pull the cart back to the mountain first, and he and Hengbao went to the yamen to see the situation.

"Many people." Xie Lingyun brought Hengbao to the eight-character wall outside the city yamen. While eating a string of candied haws in his hands, they sighed that it was crowded with people. There were Taoists who came to see the reward orders, and there were also ordinary people who came to see notices such as autumn grain collection.

"Oh, isn't that the Xie Guest from Chaotian Palace?"

At this time, a group of more than a dozen young people by the wall immediately strode towards them when they saw them, and they laughed: "Xie Ke, don't you have to busy raising money?" "You also come to see the suspense order? This giant thief is a big deal. Why are you, a white dick, joining in the fun? Do you want to die?"

They were all wearing good brocade silk Taoist robes, exquisite crown ornaments, brand new cloud shoes, and each of them wore a seven-star sword, scabbard, handguards and other places, which were inlaid with dazzling gems. They were really furious. These young Taoists were disciples of Shenli, as well as several fellow Taoists from the Madhyamaka family, including Lu Longguan, Yuxuguan, and all of them were true disciples.

Looking at Xie Lingyun, who was cold and dirty all over, the young men burst into laughter. Did this guy just do hard work for a long time and make it look like this?

"You can steal tax pills from Daolusi like this. Can you deal with this giant thief? We are just scouts in the mountain gate." The speaker was named Guo Denggao, the fourth disciple of the true teaching of Tian Chengzi, the leader of the optimistic and optimistic god. He gave birth to a shoehorn with a long face, small eyes and a gloomy expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, another young man who was smiling and not smiling, the fifth disciple of Shenluojing True Teaching, named Mo Suifeng, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, senior brother, what are you talking about with Xie Ke? He has never even started to cultivate himself or build the foundation. No matter what "sexual skills" or "life skills" are all without any cultivation. What do you understand?"

"This is really strange. Xie Ke'er, why haven't you started practicing?" Guo Denggao asked in confusion.

All the practitioners here can't understand this problem. Among the true disciples of Chaotian Palace, not to mention the little kids in front of you, the two in front of you have already embarked on the path of cultivation, and are at least the disciples of the Grand View, so they are the younger generation of monks in Jinling City. But this Xie Gun is fifteen years old, why is he still like a foolish man?

Xie Lingyun and Hengbao didn't want to pay attention to them, but the road was blocked, and some ordinary people were watching him. Xie Lingyun replied: "The teacher has not yet taught him, and he has his arrangements."

"Arrangement? What's the arrangement?" The young men burst into laughter immediately, intentionally to embarrass the two of them, someone muttered softly: "Can't it be that you have too low qualifications and can't even complete the skills of starting the game?" Then another person pretended to be surprised: "No, even the female wise men in the Tianfei Palace can do it! Is Xie Guest not as good as a woman?"

"Haha." Guo Denggao, Mo Suifeng and other optimistic disciples picked up the sword and watched the show without saying a word.

Hengbao couldn't help it and said angrily: "Hmph! You don't understand. The master said that Ake is different from ordinary people because his qualifications are too high, so he doesn't need to practice too early. Do you first learn more and wait until you know astronomy and geography and then merge when practicing Taoism. You will naturally be as powerful as you! Do you understand!?"

"Is that right?" How could Guo Denggao and others believe it? They looked at each other and their smiles became more and more bizarre.

Everyone knows that a person's practice on the Golden Elixir Avenue is the sooner the better, because after a man's sixteen years old, the innate qi in his body will disappear, and he will only start at that time? Doing twice the effort may not be as good as the present.

Xie Lingyun said seriously: "That is, it only takes one hundred days to refine oneself and build the foundation. Brother Taoism just go first, don't worry for me."

"Swish." Guo Denggao laughed strangely. Xie Ke'er really thought he was a talented person. Everyone was laughing. Mo Suifeng looked at them and said sarcastically: "Don't laugh. Master Nanyang makes sense. He has to practice his own martial arts and lose his body. Of course, he should teach Xie Ke some other "knowledge". Otherwise, after practicing the foundation, what else can he teach us Brother Ke?"

"Hahaha!" The teenagers all laughed loudly, their faces filled with wantonness.

Originally, it was very rude and unwise to mock a leader of the Grand View like this, but the contradiction between Shenyang Optimism and Chaotian Palace had already been clearly revealed. And who would not know that Nanyangzi practiced a set of evil techniques in his middle age, which led to his cultivation of life skills instead of advancing and retreating, becoming a laughing stock! Cultivation is to follow the ordinary and rebellious immortals. Through cultivation, the body returns from acquired to innate; that old man is better, from innate to descending to acquired, and his life skills have declined more and more over the past few decades, and in recent years, he has become almost as powerful as an ordinary person. To put it bluntly, he is a useless person...

The people around them were a little embarrassed by the unrestrained behavior of everyone. Master Nanyang has no ability, but he is kind to others. Why should he ridicule a kind old man like this?

This time, a sudden burst of anger arose, Xie Lingyun frowned, and Hengbao gritted his teeth and made a "ah" sound. The master was the most respected and closest person they were, and these idiots were not worthy of pouring tea for him!

Looking at the culprit Mo Suifeng's face, Hengbao was really annoyed.

I squeezed the bamboo sticks with candied haws in my hand and was about to smash them over—

But I heard Xie Lingyun speak.

"Brother, I'll see your seal hall turning black, with a tumbling smile, it seems that the meridians are blocked and the qi and blood are blocked, yes..."

Xie Lingyun nodded seriously: "You are sick and need to be cured."

The teenagers stopped laughing one after another. Although Xie Ke had no life and cultivation, he was quite famous for his medical treatment. He often got to get rid of the disease by looking at the pharmacy. Could it be?

The people around who had been kind enough to be loved had already leaned out and asked, "Mr. Xie, what disease is he?" Of course Mo Suifeng would not believe it easily. Let's hear what this kid said. He frowned and asked with a sneer, "You can talk nonsense, what disease is he?"

Xie Lingyun said bluntly: "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic - Su Wen - Bi Lunar New Year" says: 'Wind, cold and dampness are mixed, and they are combined to form numbness. If the wind and qi are superior, it is numbness. If the cold and qi are superior, it is painful and numbness.' You, the situation is the most special. If the four qi are mixed and numbness is superior, it is numbness."

Mo Suifeng frowned and blinked, and was confused for a moment: "How to treat it?"

Xie Lingyun shook his head: "There is no cure."

"Silly, stupidly... stupidly?!" Mo Suifeng murmured several times, and finally realized something was wrong, and couldn't help but scream. The teenagers such as Guo Denggao immediately realized the true meaning, and their faces turned green and they were full of anger.

"Hahaha!" Now, the people also realized it, and they all smiled and said, Mr. Xie was so bad.

Hengbao was so happy that he danced: "Okay, it's so good. Don't follow the wind! Don't follow the wind if you are stupid!!"

Xie Lingyun immediately nagged a lot of words like chanting scriptures: "There is a numb person who is closed but not open. If it is blocked, it will hurt, and if it is unblocked, it will not hurt. Brother Dao, do you often feel dizzy and headache? This is the sign of blocking stupidity! The evil wind is as fast as wind and rain. This disease can make people confused, mentally confused, and nonsense, and look like crazy. If your head is occupied by all the stupidity, your life will not last long. The most terrible thing is that this disease will be contagious. Brother Guo, you all become numb!"

Before Guo Denggao and others could react, Xie Lingyun shouted again: "Be careful, stay away from them!"

"Let's go, don't get infected." The people immediately walked away, and the young Taoists stood there alone. Hengbao smiled more and more and more, and Mo Suifeng and others' faces became increasingly ugly.

"But although it's difficult, I'm still willing to give it a try. Do some acupuncture first!" Xie Lingyun handed the candied haws in his hand to Hengbao, then took out a wooden acupuncture box from the pocket of his sleeve, and said seriously: "Please take off your pants and expose the ring jumping point on your buttocks. I'll give you an acupuncture--"

Seeing Xie Lingyun quickly take out a long and thick silver needle and deliberately flashing the light of the needle tip, Mo Suifeng made his fingers tremble and his chest undulate: "Xie Ke, Xie Ke..." After swallowing and spitting for a while, he still couldn't think of how to win back the defeat, so he had to yell: "You are the fool!"

"I'm getting worse again..." Xie Lingyun sighed.

Hengbao and the people were hilarious again, and tears were about to come out.

On the other hand, the dozen young men in gorgeous clothes were all open-minded and unable to speak, and they felt like they were generals.

It was embarrassing! Guo Denggao had a serious face. Although each of them had much better life than Xie Lingyun, Xie Lingyun didn't understand the magic and sword techniques, but this was on the street and in front of the yamen. Naturally, he could not draw the sword at the same time if he had a disagreement... He narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Xie Lingyun, don't think that you can win if you show off your verbal benefits. The warehouse of the Daolusi will be open tomorrow. At that time, we will investigate the case and catch the thieves. You are lying on the mountain to raise money to refine elixirs, haha!"

There was no interest in continuing to stay, so Guo Denggao led his companions to the street.

As Mo Suifeng left, he glared at Xie Lingyun hatefully and clearly said: "Boy, let's take a look!"

Ignoring those provocations, Xie Lingyun shouted to them: "Hey, my medical skills are taught by my master-"

The pace of those people obviously accelerated a little.

At this time, Xie Lingyun laughed and looked at Hengbao next to him for a few seconds. The two of them suddenly let out a thud, and then burst into laughter: "Hahaha!" While laughing, they each bite a candied haw and chew it. It's sweet!

After laughing, he expressed his gratitude to the people around him. Xie Lingyun went to read the list on the wall. Sure enough, the government officially offered a reward today for the giant thief who could solve the case and arrest people and retrieve the tax pills. Not only did they have the reward and reputation of the court, but they could also take away one-third of the lost property. The location of the crime was that of the Daolusi's warehouse tomorrow. People who intend to investigate can go in and investigate.

"Senior brother, can't we go to investigate the case?" Hengbao asked dissatisfiedly, why, can't Chaotian Palace solve the case?

"They think beautifully! I'm going to go." Xie Lingyun straightened his eyebrows, thinking something in his mind. The fat mouse is already inquiring about news all over the city, right? Old Xi, Old Xi, work harder, whether there are any private clues this time depends on you...
