Chapter 562 Orchid Dusk Refining
The disciple bowed and said, "Well, Da Lang didn't tell Xiao Xiao, but from Xiao Xiao's point of view, this 'Youlan Mu Lian' only happens every five years. It has long been a routine. Da Lang may not have anything of his own." idea.”
Deputy Hall Master Xu snorted: "Since I don't have any ideas of my own, just wait for the Hall Master's arrangement. Although I drew up the list, doesn't the Hall Master still have to look at it? We Tuo Dan Hall people are just going to do it. What can be accomplished by collecting herbs?”
The disciple laughed: "The list has always been drawn up by the Hall Master himself, but fifteen years ago, Hall Master Xu was entrusted to handle this matter. Moreover, now that the Hall Master is old, many of the hall masters All affairs must be entrusted to Hall Master Xu, Dalang thought, will you still be in charge of this matter this year?"
Deputy Hall Master Xu tilted his head: "Is this what Wu Zhouxu told you?"
"That's not true. However, what the big man said on weekdays and what the little boy saw on weekdays is probably like this."
"Hmph, you are quite well-behaved, but don't talk too much about this kind of thing. If you do your job well, I will naturally see it."
"Thank you, Master, for your support." The disciple was overjoyed and bowed to express his thanks.
"Okay, get some rest early. Go back early tomorrow morning and let Wu Zhouxu keep an eye on Ren Xiaoyao..."
"Okay, disciple, I will obey the hall master's order."
Zhang Xiaohua, who was practicing the Wuyou Heart Sutra with his eyes closed in the small courtyard of Tianmu Peak, didn't know that his every move had already fallen into the eyes of the two hall masters, and some people were even thinking about his "treasure".
Wu Zhouxu was also a trustworthy person. Early the next morning, he sent Ye Chengliao, Qi Yuntian and Cheng Shi to bring over a batch of jade boxes. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know whether the herbs in them were worth the 100 yuan he had taken. Fifty taels of gold, but he already knew that Wu Zhouxu would definitely not be short of gold when things got to this point, so he wrote and signed on a piece of white paper with ease. After sending it away, he looked at it with joy. Looking at the herbs in the yard, the more I look at them, the more I want to see them.
At this time, Bai Huan entered the yard with his bedding, his face full of depression.
Zhang Xiaohua frowned and asked curiously: "Senior Brother Bai, what are you doing? Do you want to move here too?"
"Oh, that's exactly it." Bai Huan sighed: "Junior Brother Ren, I was called out by Senior Brother Qiu early in the morning, saying that it was Mr. Chen's intention. Your place is too remote, and there are so many medicinal herbs that no one is looking at. It’s really not good, and this yard also needs to be cleaned. Well, you are now the rookie of our grass department, and the future success in gambling will all depend on you. You are still young, so you can’t live without someone to look after you, so..."
"So, you sent Senior Brother Bai here?" Zhang Xiaohua asked with a smile.
"That's right." Bai Huan took the bedding into the house, looked up at the bamboo forest outside the yard, looked very uneasy, and asked quietly: "Is this yard quiet at night?"
"Quiet, of course quiet. There is only the sound of the wind blowing in the bamboo forest. It seems like someone is crying."
Zhang Xiaohua said somewhat sinisterly.
"Is that so... Junior Brother Ren, you... aren't you scared?" Bai Huan asked almost tremblingly.
"Of course I'm scared. I'm afraid someone will knock on the door suddenly..."
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, "Oops~" Even though it was broad daylight, Bai Huan almost jumped up and hid behind Zhang Xiaohua shivering, saying, "Is there really a ghost?" …”
Before he finished speaking, a voice came out from the door of the courtyard: "Is Junior Brother Ren from the Grass Department here?"
Zhang Xiaohua said loudly: "This is it, please come in."
The door of the courtyard was pushed open, and a mature man with a beard walked in. Bai Huan, who was hiding behind Zhang Xiaohua, poked his head out and saw that he was a big man. He said to himself: "It's Liao from Danbu who is here." Senior brother?"
"Oh, Junior Brother Bai is here too? It's Liao." After speaking, he said to the two of them, "I came here in a hurry, please forgive me."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "We are all senior brothers, why not be so polite? I don't know what Senior Brother Liao is doing?"
"I heard that Junior Brother Ren can exchange medicinal herbs for elixirs here. I wonder if this is the case?"
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said: "That's exactly what happened, but in the past few days, all the senior brothers have lost to the younger brother. They all used herbs to prepare the elixirs. The younger brother doesn't have many elixirs in his hand, so even if he wants to fight with Liao It’s not possible for me to change my senior brother.”
Senior Brother Liao smiled and said, "Liao went down the mountain to do some work. Just after he came back, he heard about Junior Brother Ren killing everyone in all directions. I'm very happy and congratulated."
"Everywhere, it's just luck. It makes Senior Brother Liao laugh."
"Junior brother Ren, you don't have to be polite. I heard that the elders in my alchemy department lost several bottles of elixirs to you. I don't want to ask for more. Can you exchange for a few 'small bone condensing elixirs'?"
"This..." Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed. He didn't have many "Little Bone Condensing Pills" in his hand, and he had just exchanged three of them for Bai Huan. Although he didn't like the "Little Bone Condensing Pills", he still wanted to keep them. I'll take a few pills and study them.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was in trouble, Senior Brother Liao reached out and took out two jade boxes from his arms and handed them to him, saying: "I know that I'm putting Brother Ren in a dilemma. Let's take a look at the age of these two herbs. If you can, just Junior brother, please give me a few in exchange!"
Seeing that Brother Liao was so confident, Zhang Xiaohua knew that there was something good in the jade box. Sure enough, when he opened the jade box, there were two unknown herbs that were forty years old. Before Zhang Xiaohua could say anything, Bai Huan next to him said with a smile: "Senior Brother Liao is very calculating. Although these two medicinal plants are old, they are of little use. How can I agree to this when you ask Junior Brother Ren?"
Senior Brother Liao frowned and said: "I heard that Junior Brother Ren only cares about the year of the medicinal herbs and not what kind of medicinal herbs they are. I just... But if it's other medicinal herbs, I really don't have them here..."
At this point, his eyes lit up and he said eagerly: "If I know where to pick herbs that are old enough and tell Junior Brother Ren the location, can Junior Brother part with me?"
"Don't...Junior Brother Ren, our Eighteen Peaks of the Incense Sect have medicinal herbs that are grown locally, but those places are not accessible to our ordinary disciples. Even if you know, you may not be able to pick them!"
"Haha, Junior Brother Bai, I don't know. If Junior Brother Ren is destined to go to this place, he will definitely be able to go there. Moreover, there are many herbs there, and the year is very long. Most of the herbs are unknown. This is also the case for many years. I accidentally learned about it before, but I can basically guarantee that besides me, not many people know about it."
"Oh?" Zhang Xiaohua became interested when he heard it. What did he want? Isn't it an unknown medicinal herb? The age is still enough, even if it is exchanged for "Jade Return Pill", Zhang Xiaohua is also happy, so she asked: "Since Senior Brother Liao is so urgent, then I don't care whether I am destined or not. These two herbs plus your news , in exchange for three 'Little Bone Condensing Pills', what do you think?"
Senior Brother Liao was overjoyed and said, "Liao originally thought that two exchanges would be enough, but Junior Brother Ren actually agreed to three. It's really... generous."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and regretted it for a long time. She thought to herself: "You are so generous again. Could it be that I am taken advantage of in the eyes of Tianmu Peak disciples? Well, I should ask Senior Brother Bai more about the price of this elixir when I have time. But Don't let others take advantage of you and ruin your reputation in vain."
However, he still said: "Senior Brother Liao has worked hard for the affairs of the hall. He is coming back today. I feel this in my heart and can't help but get closer. Senior Brother Liao, please tell me the news."
"Haha, it's just official business, not to mention hard work. How could it be hard for a junior fellow apprentice." Senior Brother Liao said, without mentioning the place.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua walked back to the house, took out a jade bottle, handed it to Senior Brother Liao, and said, "Senior Brother, take a look, do you mean anything?"
Senior Brother Liao opened it and took a look. His face was overjoyed. He walked up and whispered in Zhang Xiaohua's ear for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua's face was extremely wonderful. When he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "This is the place that Senior Brother Liao was talking about." ?Do you think I can pick it up?"
Senior Brother Liao said with a smile: "This place is not an important place in the teaching. As long as junior brother has the chance to go there, he will definitely be able to pick it up. I am not lying to you."
"Yes." Zhang Xiaohua nodded: "Senior Brother Liao is right. As you said, I have a chance to pick it up. Okay, the elixir has been replaced. Does Senior Brother Liao have anything else to do?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua seeing off the guests, Senior Brother Liao didn't stay long, said a few words of thanks, and walked away.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua had suffered a secret loss, Bai Huan muttered: "I knew there were no good people in Danbu. I haven't seen much of Senior Brother Liao, so I didn't know that his character was so bad. Junior Brother Ren, what did he say?" Where?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Bai Huan with interest, waved her hand and said, "Senior Brother Liao is indeed right, it just depends on my fate. He pointed this out early, but it's a pity that I didn't understand it."
Then, he looked at the two herbs in his hand and said, "With these two herbs, giving him three pills is not too much of a disadvantage."
"Herbs?" Bai Huan sneered and said, "They are all worthless things!"
While he was talking, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open again, and it was Chen Fengxiao and Qiu Weicheng who came in.
Zhang Xiaohua and Bai Huan came forward to salute. Chen Feng looked at Bai Huan with a smile, and said to Zhang Xiaohua with a smile: "I saw that you have a lot of medicinal herbs here, and the courtyard is large, and no one is cleaning it, so he asked Bai Huan to come over. Help you, although there are many disciples in Tianmu Peak, Bai Huan is the first one you get to know, I hope you can be satisfied with my arrangement!"
"Hmph." Zhang Xiaohua sneered in her heart: "You just don't trust me. There are many eyes and ears watching me. How can I not know? If you ignore me, it will be strangely tight."
Zhang Xiaohua handed over her hand: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your concern. I was just thinking about how I would move this pile of herbs into the house. Now that Senior Brother Bai is here, I can do other things. Senior Brother Lao Bai will move these herbs into the house." ”
"Moving into the house? By myself?" Bai Huan was stunned for a moment, then looked at several jade boxes that looked like hills, with a wry smile on his face. What kind of bad luck did he have in his life? Wasn't it because he was on duty a few days ago? You were the first to see Ren Xiaoyao, why did you...
