I Am Xianfan

Chapter 12: Wake up

   It was getting late, and Su Chen returned to Yaowang Villa.

   In the following days, he faintly felt something was wrong, and found that Zhang Tieniu and Yang Caizhi, brothers and sisters, were trying their best to please Pharmacist Li Kui in private.

Once, Su Chen saw Zhang Tufu visit Zhang Tie Niu at Yaowang Mountain Villa and brought Zhang Tie Niu with bacons, sausages and local products, but he did not see Zhang Tie Niu taking them to eat. They were all hidden under the bed. The next day these things were taken. It's all gone.

   A few days later, Su Chen was helping with chores in the private kitchen of Pharmacist Li Kui, and accidentally saw these familiar bacon and local products. It was clear that Zhang Tieniu had given it to the master in private without telling the other brothers.

   Even a foolish head like Zhang Tieniu knows how to give gifts, let alone a shrewd person like Yang Caizhi, who must have given his master a lot of good gifts with his other brothers on his back.

   Su Chen couldn't help but woke up suddenly.

   In the past few months, the outer disciple that he has gradually forgotten has been eliminated once every six months, and it resurfaced in his heart. Obviously, Yang Caizhi and Zhang Tieniu have never forgotten this important matter.

   Several months have passed since then.

   As soon as the half-year period arrives, Pharmacist Li Kui will select one of the five outer disciples to be eliminated and demoted to work in the handyman hall. There is no specific way to eliminate who is eliminated, it is the master alone who has the final say.

   Su Chen woke up and couldn't help carefully calculating, the pros and cons of the fellow apprentice brothers, who is most likely to be eliminated first.

   Five of their outer disciples have learned some introductory medicine and martial arts in the past few months, and their level is very low. Of course, there is no question of who can learn better.

   is inferior to strength, I am afraid it is better than other aspects.

   Yang Caizhi is shrewd and has a sweet mouth. He is always quietly flattering beside Pharmacist Li Kui. He wants to be in front of Master in everything, and he is very pleased and praised by Master. Other brothers and sisters are hard to beat.

   Zhang Tie Niu's waist board is rough and strong. He is rushing to do the rough work and hard work of carrying water, chopping wood, and carrying in the yard, and others can't compete with him.

   In the eyes of the master, there is no credit, at least there is hard work.

   The two girls, Qin Huihui and Kong Xinqiao, have a delicate mind. Although they are not as good as the two brothers, they are usually well-behaved, and they are also praised by Medicine Master Li Kui.

   I am the only one who has never thought about going there to please Master... Thinking about it carefully, there is nothing in me that is worthy of Master’s liking.

   Su Chen felt a little frustrated when he thought of this.

  Before in Zhouzhuang Water Town, he has been sloppy and wild since he was little.

   In the past few months, in front of Pharmacist Li Kui, he was only responsible for his words and deeds, immersed himself in studying medicine and martial arts, hoping to get Master's approval.

   But Pharmacist Li Kui's eyes were always cold when he saw him, and he never praised him for his hard work.

   His relationship with his master is very indifferent.

   After such a calculation, I hardly have any advantage in the master's heart, I am afraid that I will be the first disciple to be eliminated.

   When Su Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but become anxious.

   "No! There are still three months left, I have to hurry up and do something! Once I am eliminated by the master, I will no longer be an apprentice, but will be demoted to become the lowest-level handyman disciple of the Medicine King Gang."

  In the Medicine King Gang, the apprentice disciples who studied with the pharmacist and the handyman disciples who were eliminated by the master have completely different treatment.

   Apprentice disciples have many privileges, such as free food, clothing and housing, and free reading in a library at Yaowang Villa.

   But if you become a handyman after being eliminated, you will automatically lose these benefits.

   From now on, the handyman disciples have to earn money to support themselves, not only for food, but also for reading in the library.

   "But now it’s too late to please Master. No matter how sweet my mouth is, it’s not as heavy as a few catties of bacon. I am penniless, and I am no better than Yang Caizhi and Zhang Tieniu. My family is willing to make money to please Master."

   Su Chen thought hard for a long time.

  Since it is very likely that he will be eliminated by the master, he has to take advantage of these last few months to hurry up and do the most important things.

   Soon, Su Chen thought of an important matter related to his life.

   His original idea of ​​entering the Medicine King Villa was to eat a bite of food with the Medicine King Gang, so as not to starve to death on the streets of the county.

   But there is another purpose, and that is to learn how to make medicine to cure one's own "bluestone tears" strange disease.

   He has now become a disciple of the Medicine King Gang, so naturally he has no worries about food and clothing.

   But my "bluestone tears" strange disease, if it can't be cured, it will threaten my life at any time.

   Originally, Su Chen was not in a hurry. He wanted to take his time, and waited for Pharmacist Li Kui to learn more medicinal skills before thinking about his strange illness.

   But now it seems that he is probably the first to be eliminated by Master, and there is not much time to learn more from Pharmacist Li Kui.

   While I am still an apprentice and disciple, I can read the medicine books for free in the library for the remaining three months to see if there are any prescriptions that can cure my strange disease.

  ...

   Wujun 13 counties, Yaowang Gang is one of the five most powerful gangs in the arena. To help disciples in the study of medicine techniques, the library has naturally stored a large number of medicine books for disciples to refer to.

   Cangshu Pavilion is located in the heart of Yaowang Villa.

   For any big gang of rivers and lakes, all kinds of books are the core, and they do everything possible to collect Luo's collection. Those martial arts schools that have not accumulated rich secrets are all small gangs and cannot make it into a climate.

   For nearly one or two hundred years, the successive masters of the Yaowang gang have worked hard and accumulated strength. They have collected tens of thousands of various secret books from the rivers and lakes, and placed them in the library for the reference of the disciples in the help.

   Over a hundred years of solid accumulation has given the Yaowang Gang a prosperous arena.

  Yes, the importance of Cangshu Pavilion is no less than that of a gang's treasury.

   is such a heavy place, naturally one of the five halls of the Yaowang Gang, a disciple of the Jiantang Hall, is on duty here.

   In the sword hall, only the most trusted core disciple who can withstand loneliness is qualified to sit here and be called a pavilion guard.

   Once the guardian chooses to sit in the library, he must stay here for ten years without leaving without permission.

   Of course, the pavilion guards have many privileges, they can read all the books without restriction, and can receive a high salary for cultivation every month.

   After the ten-year period of the guardian pavilion, once they leave the customs, they are often top-notch masters in the Medicine King Gang.

There are five-story pavilions in the   zang pavilion. The books inside are piled up like a mountain. The three main categories are medicine books, martial arts books, and miscellaneous books. Each floor requires different identity permissions to allow entry.

   Needless to say the use of medicine books and martial arts books.

Miscellaneous books include various travel notes, legends, idle stories, or national biographies, geography, history books, etc., which can broaden the disciples’ horizons and understand the big world outside Gusu County, so that the disciples of the King of Medicine Gang will become a group of ignorant chaffinches. .

   According to the grade and price of the books, they are placed on different floors.

   The first loft at the bottom, apprenticeship students can go in and read for free. They are all ordinary books. But if you are eliminated by the master and become a handyman's cousin, you have to spend money to go in and see.

   The second floor requires the identity of inner disciple, pharmacist, and deacon of each hall to be eligible to enter. Reading is free. Other disciples who want to borrow and buy the books here need money.

  On the third floor, you must have the status of noble pharmacist or above before you are allowed to go up.

   The fourth and fifth floors contain high-level classics, which can only be viewed by the senior staff.

   Outer disciples like Su Chen are only allowed to read for free in the first attic during their apprenticeship with a pharmacist. But you can't take it away, you can only watch it in the library.

   It has been three months since Su Chen became an apprentice. He has completed literacy and hyphenation early, and can understand most of the herbal classics.

   Every morning in the pharmacist's courtyard, he beats his fists and feet against the hardwood stakes and tempers his dantian. In the afternoon, together with other apprentices, I followed Pharmacist Li Kui to identify herbs in the pharmacy.

   In the evening, after eating dinner, he did not return to his small courtyard to rest like other disciples, but hurried to the library, taking advantage of the only free time in the evening to read the medicine book.

On the first floor of    Library, there are hundreds of bookshelves in rows, densely packed with tens of thousands of books.

   There are even some old and tattered books that can't accumulate. They are randomly piled up in the corners of the wall. The piles are higher than a few people, and the upper area is full of dust.

   Su Chen specifically looked for medicine books about strange and intractable diseases, and wanted to find a case about the strange disease of "Blue Stone Tears".

   But it is not easy.

   You must know that although there are countless common medicine books, the medicine books about incurable diseases are very rare.

   Thousands, tens of thousands of volumes of medicine books in the library of books, at most dozens of volumes, are devoted to strange and intractable diseases.

   After all, ordinary doctors in Gusu City rely on treating people to support their families. The common diseases are common typhoid fever, colds, and pain. Of course, some common diseases are recorded in the medicine books.

  Odd incurable diseases are often not seen in one year, or even a few years. If you specialize in odd incurable diseases, even the most savvy doctor will starve to death.

  Because of this, in the past, Old Su and Aunt Su took Su Chen in the huge Gusu county town to find medicine for treatment, but none of the doctors or pharmacists in any pharmacy could say clearly what kind of disease Su Chen had.

   In the end, it was in Hanshan Taoist Temple, the real person Hanshan, the first outsider of Wu Jun, who diagnosed the cause of Su Chen.

   Su Chen spent a few nights and found out all the books on medicines for incurable diseases on the first floor of the library, a total of forty or fifty books, and looked through them one by one.

   But there is no such strange disease as "Bluestone Tears" in any medicine books about incurable diseases.

"How could there not be? No one has ever had this strange disease except me?...No, if Doctor Myrrh had seen this strange disease, then how could Master Hanshan say that I was hated by God, Got God's hatred?"

   Su Chen was troubled.

   After thinking for a long time, he suddenly thought of a question, Han Shan Zhenren is a profound Taoist priest, not a pharmacist, and what he learned is not medicine, but Taoism.

   may be found in Taoist classics.

   Su Chen couldn't help getting excited when he thought of this place, and immediately looked for various Taoist books among the miscellaneous books in the library.

   Finally, among the dozens of old and dusty Taoist books, Su Chen was surprised to find some sentence descriptions that resembled his illness.

   "Everyone has a primordial spirit, which is sent to the'Niwan Palace", and the martial artist is commonly known as Shangdantian. Taoists call the Niwan Palace the Purple Mansion, nicknamed Lingshan."

   "The spirit mountain, the heart is also."

   "Eyes lead to the heart. If the spirit mountain is cracked, the vitality will vent. The vitality will vent and overflow from the eyes."

   The few vague descriptions made Su Chen's expression shocked, his eyes widened, and he was pleasantly surprised.

  Master Li Kui has never taught him what ‘primordial spirit, spirit mountain’ is, and only briefly mentioned that he can refine the gods by going to the pubic area.

   Su Chen didn't understand what it meant to refining gods either.

   But ‘eyes are through the heart. If the spirit mountain is cracked, the vitality will be vented. The vitality is vented, overflowing from the eyes. He understood these few words.

   This is obviously very similar to his condition.

"This baby may be suffering from Heaven's Hate disease, and vitality leaks in the body. When this baby cries, vitality leaks out of his eyes, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com becomes sickly. The way to replenish vitality with medicine, It may be saved. But it can only be saved for a while, and the root of the disease cannot be cured. This is a disease of premature death, and there is no cure!"

   In the old days, my father and mother also mentioned that the real man Hanshan said this when he was diagnosed, and then combined with the descriptions in these Taoist books to confirm.

   There are nine out of ten, it is a mysterious place in his body that leaks vitality. These vitality flowed out along with the tears, causing the body to become extremely weak.

   As for the leaked vitality that turned into tears, why did it condense into small lapis lazuli after it fell from the eye socket?

   This is an even stranger phenomenon. Su Chen rummaged through dozens of Taoist classics and found no clue at all.

   Even the real person Gao Ming Ruhanshan didn't tell the truth, but vaguely said that it might be the Heavenly Hate Stone, which is bad for God's jealousy.

   Ignore these first, and solve the problem step by step.

   When Su Chen thought of this, his spirits rose.

   "Lingshan cracks, vitality vent!"

   This sentence alone is a very important clue, pointing directly to "Lingshan", maybe this is the root of his disease.

   He has to find the so-called Lingshan in his own mind, before he can see it with his own eyes, confirming that "the spirit mountain is cracked and the vitality is leaked." Then, find a cure.

   "Everyone has a primordial spirit, which is sent to the'Niwan Palace", and the martial artist is commonly called Shangdantian. Taoists call the Niwan Palace the Zifu, aka Lingshan."

The sentence    shows that Lingshan is in the Niwan Palace in Shangdantian.

   But, how can one enter the Niwan Palace and see his spiritual mountain?

   Su Chen looked through the various Taoist books eagerly, and continued to look for clues. These clues in front of him are far from enough, and he still lacks specific means to find Lingshan.
