Chapter 10: Test medicine

Views:

The master leads the door, and the practice is personal.

Although the old Taoist priest has not taught him any magic so far, but in the past six months, he has studied Taoist scriptures and tried medicine to cure diseases. Wang Yan feels that he can be called a Taoist priest.

In the spring season after the new year, the snow and ice in the mountains have not yet melted, and the cold air is so cold that these disciples who have not cultivated enough are all wrapped up in three layers and three layers outside.

A few days ago, the master led the boy down the mountain for a wander. According to him, joining the WTO is also an indispensable practice, and they will all take this step in the future.

In view of the large and small matters, the full authority is given to their senior brother in charge of the management. As for when they will return, it is unknown.

In the early morning, the fog is hazy.

Wang Yan was wearing a Taoist robe that had been patched several times. It was also wrapped in two or three layers of coarse linen, which was airtight. Although the Taoist robe was worn out, it had an excellent cold protection effect.

When I came to the Dan room, Hakou rubbed his hands warmly, and was ready to clean up the place first, and then go to the Tibetan Sutra Building.

There was a lot of snow in the yard, and Wang Yan stepped into the pill room one step at a time.

Entering from the gate, there is a lobby large enough to accommodate dozens of people. In the center of the lobby is a copper four-cornered cauldron.

Going around the cauldron, there is a portrait of Daozu on the upper wall. In a room inside, there are two large medicine jars. There is a small sandalwood cabinet by the wall, and on it are gourd nets of different sizes. bottle.

In this room, all the medicinal pills are from the hands of Senior Brother Yun Zhongliu, and only one medicinal pill is stored in each container.

Senior Brother Yun Zhongliu is a proud student of Master. He has been in the field for 17 years and focuses on the pharmacology of alchemy. It is said that each of the medicinal pills he has refined is of great value. In the world, it is regarded as a magical elixir. , Longevity, medicine to cure disease, not a problem.

The main source of income for Taoist temples is not only the practice of subduing demons and cleaning houses, but also from the sale of medicinal pills and fortune-telling.

Of course, Taoism has a way of Taoism, and the identities of disciples and disciples are naturally not leaked at will, so the world is seldom known.

Among the many disciples, those who specialize in alchemy and pharmaceuticals, currently there are only three people left in the temple, one is Senior Brother Yun Zhongliu, and the other two are Senior Brother Xun Qi and Senior Brother Zhuge Changshou.

The rooms on both sides of the pill room were where the two of them concocted pills.

Compared to Senior Brother Yun Zhongliu's room, except for a small cauldron in each of the two rooms, there are tables, chairs, and cabinets all around, almost full of bottles and cans.

There are refined medicinal pills and semi-finished products, but most of them are defective products that have been used up.

After all, for the two of them, first of all, it didn't take as long as Senior Brother Yunzhongliu to get started, and since talent is very important, there is also a lack of enthusiasm for this.

Start cleaning from the innermost room first. While Wang Yan was working, he looked at the gourd bottle on the counter with both eyes.

"It's a pity I'm not Sun Monkey!"

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking so.

Each pill here has a different effect, and the methods and contraindications for taking it are also different.

If there is no special person to guide, it is easy for others to take it indiscriminately, and it is easy to cause problems. In addition, there have been precedents before. Moreover, if you don’t ask yourself, you will be stealing. Once you steal, it is a serious crime.

No one would be stupid enough to ruin their great future for a single pill.

After cleaning the several houses inside, Wang Yan came out of the courtyard and swept the snow on the ground to the corners little by little.

The best way to keep warm in winter is to exercise and work.

"Senior Brother Yun, early!"

At this moment, a Taoist who looked to be in his forties, holding a gourd in his left hand, brushing his beard in his right hand, frowning slightly, with a sad face, came slowly from outside the courtyard on the snow.

This person is Senior Brother Yun Zhongliu. He received Dao Lu and became a Daoist ten years ago. His current Dao name is Dianchengzi.

However, these Dao names and so on are all externally speaking. The brothers and sisters in Guan's family prefer to use their surnames as their names, which are friendly. After all, even the master and his elders call their disciples by their first names.

Wang Yan has been cleaning here for three months, and he has come and gone. Although he does not know the three brothers very well, he is quite familiar with them.

"Um!"

This senior Yun Zhongliu just glanced at him, nodded, and responded with a sound, and then continued to walk towards the pill room.

Just as he walked to the front door, he seemed to have thought of something, suddenly stopped, and looked back at Wang Yanhaosheng again.

"Junior Brother Wang, you haven't practiced with Master yet! Have you ever practiced breathing and breathing?"

After his question, Wang Yan seemed a little puzzled, but he still shook his head and told the truth.

"Junior brother hasn't practiced yet, and he doesn't know anything about breathing and training qi."

Hearing this, Yun Zhongliu's eyes lit up, and he stepped over to his side in a few steps.

"Good! Very good! Very good!"

He smiled wide-eyed, as if Wang Yan did not practice cultivation, what a joyful thing to do.

"Senior Brother Yun, are you...?"

Wang Yan shrank back with a look of confusion on his face.

"Junior Brother Wang, Senior Brother wants to ask you a favor!"

He patted Wang Yan on the shoulder and said expectantly.

"Uh... Senior Brother Yun said it doesn't matter, as long as Junior Brother can do it, he will do his best."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, he thought that he had done something wrong, but as a result, this senior brother came to him in trouble, but he did not expect the other party to ask for something.

"Junior Brother Wang has promised? Well, brother, I'll just say it straight!"

Wang Yan secretly slandered in his heart, you have said this for the sake of it, what else can I do

"That... It's like this. Senior brother recently refined a medicinal pill. This medicine is extraordinary, but I don't know how effective the medicine is, so... senior brother wants to find someone to test the medicine."

Hearing this, the smile on Wang Yan's mouth gradually disappeared.

"As for the person who tried the medicine, first of all, he must have strong qi and blood, and a strong physique, and then he must be an ordinary person who has never practiced at all. Just like you, Junior Brother Wang, is the most suitable candidate."

Yun Zhongliu's demeanor was serious, he said in this introduction.

"Senior brother, you also know that senior brother is not good at communicating with people on weekdays. The disciples of the outer sect know senior brothers, but senior brothers do not recognize them. Therefore, after thinking about it, I am relatively familiar with Wang junior brother!"

"So Senior Brother... do you want me to be the drug tester?"

Wang Yan had already guessed the result, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he had been tricked.

To put it nicely, it is the person who tested the medicine, but to put it badly, isn't that a guinea pig!

Although this senior brother is very famous, there is absolutely no problem with the medicinal pills refined by him, but what if

In case this medicinal pill doesn't work, or if it explodes in the stomach, or if there are other side effects, he will be the one who suffers in the end!

"Senior brother is really smart, you can see through it! You can rest assured, brother is still very confident in his own way, and I have taken this pill by myself. I have tried it several times, and there is absolutely no danger. It's just that brother has practiced for many years, so The effect of the medicine can't be fully exerted, that's why senior brother wants to try it out with you."

"As long as you take the medicine according to your brother's method, and then tell me how you feel, you're done. During this period, your brother will keep you absolutely safe."

On the old face of Yun Zhongliu, there was a smile of successful trickery at this time, and there was no trace of the dusty temperament of a cultivator.

On the other hand, Wang Yan had a bitter face and words of suffering.

"Senior brother, this... it's not very good! That... Junior brother has to clean the scripture building, so let's say goodbye first, senior brother, why don't you find someone else?"

In desperation, Wang Yan immediately prepared to leave.

You have confidence in your own cultivation, but I have no confidence in myself!

What's more, I helped you test the medicine. If it succeeds, it seems that the benefits are all yours. If it fails, it is all up to you. No matter how you look at it, it is a worthless transaction.

"Hey... Junior Brother, don't go! Say something nice! In this way, if you want, feel free to ask if you have any requirements. Don't you come here just to practice cultivation? After the completion of the matter, Senior Brother will go and ask Master for mercy for you!"

A boiled duck is naturally impossible to let him fly like this, so Yun Zhongliu hurried forward to discuss it.

Hearing this sentence, Wang Yan's eyes slowly lit up, and his heart was tangled up and down.
