"Mr. Dong..." A faint coldness flashed across Gu Shiba Niang's eyes, "I wonder what the lottery is?"
"Ms. Gu, just speak up." Mr. Dong said slowly.
Liu Jian was suddenly interrupted and felt very angry. He was about to step forward to question, but someone stopped him with his hand.
"Shh..." The man shook his head at him, "This is Mr. Dong..."
Master Dong? Liu Jian was startled. Although he was from Jianning Mansion, he had also heard a little bit about Mr. Dong from the north. He also heard that it was because of Mr. Liu that he had to disappear.
But the grudge between them was far less important to Liu Jian than his own revenge, and he still had to talk after getting rid of that person.
"Your master's secret book." Gu Shiba Niang raised her voice and looked at him coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and Liu Jian also stopped.
This lady Gu opened her mouth too loudly and too harshly.
No one knew why she said this, but Mr. Dong knew it very well. He grinned slowly.
"Okay..." He looked at the little girl in front of him, "Okay... Okay"
The tone of these three good words increased from light to heavy. With the last good word, he nodded heavily, "Deal."
The already lively crowd was even more excited due to the showdown between the newbies and the experienced ones.
In the pharmaceutical industry, skills are closely related to experience. Therefore, the older the pharmacist is, the better his skills are. This is an indisputable fact. If Master Dong were to challenge someone else, he might still be looked down upon and thought he was Bullying the younger ones because of their age, but if the opponent is Gu Shiba Niang, then this problem does not exist.
"It's not easy..." Xin Chaoyang looked at the two people fighting against each other in the crowd. Under the sunlight, the girl's shadow became even thinner.
You can only win, not lose, and there is no reason.
"This is not just a duel between two people..." A pharmacist explained excitedly to the surrounding audience, "Mrs. Gu's master is Liu Gong, and Master Dong's master is Gu..."
These two people are familiar to people around them.
"Without Mr. Liu these years, Gu Gu has become the boss of the pharmaceutical industry..." Speaking of this, several pharmacists lowered their voices and glanced at Gu Lingyun who was sitting on the stage with a calm expression, "But... he has always been suppressed by Mr. Liu. With one end..."
"After all, he is much younger than Mr. Liu. It is still unclear what the future will look like..." Someone twisted his beard and said cryptically.
Even a miracle doctor cannot escape death, let alone a pharmacist. Given his age, Mr. Liu will definitely take a step ahead of Gu Lingyun. In this way, if Gu Lingyun is given more than ten years, his reputation will surpass Mr. Liu in the future. possible.
"It's hard to tell..." Someone squinted and said lightly with a smile, looking at Gu Shiba Niang, "...when it comes to time... Mrs. Gu is afraid that there will be more..."
Before Liu Gong left, his apprentice had grown up...
Everyone turned their attention to Gu Lingyun at the same time, whether they were feeling pity or gloating.
"So, whoever wins between Madam Gu and Master Dong means which master is more powerful..." The pharmacist in the audience concluded excitedly.
"Shiba Niang, show that old guy some color," Peng Yizhen waved his fist and laughed loudly.
This was said in a really vulgar and rude way, and the people around him all rolled their eyes in return.
Gu Shiba Niang turned around, smiled at Peng Yizhen Lingbao Asi and others standing over there, and waved her hands.
"Mrs. Gu, please." Mr. Dong said calmly.
"Master Dong, please." Gu Shiba Niang smiled humbly.
Mr. Dong glanced at her and walked forward. He raised his head, a trace of fire flashed in his eyes.
I can finally wash away my shame...
"Ms. Gu, you haven't asked me what I will want if I lose, right?"
The two of them stood in front of the stage, waiting for the pharmacists who were waiting for the second batch of duels to choose their opponents. Master Dong did not look at Shiba Niang and spoke.
"No need." Gu Shiba Niang said with a faint smile, her eyes falling on the banner fluttering in the wind on the stage, "Because you don't have that chance."
Mr. Dong laughed out loud. He turned his head, and Gu Shiba Niang also looked over. Their eyes met, and neither of them concealed the coldness in their eyes.
For Gu Shiba Niang, she had guessed that she would encounter many opponents and challenges, and had also expected that she might lose, but she never expected to meet Mr. Dong. For a man who once coveted her master's secret book and laid a For someone who was in Jiankang's dark situation that was enough to destroy her, Gu Shiba Niang had no reason to have a good impression of her. What's more, Mr. Dong would only hate her even more.
Originally, she had no grudge against Mr. Dong, but this person with whom she had no connection at all actually figured out the inside story of her sudden success in making pharmaceuticals. This showed that she was very thoughtful. If he came to the door openly and asked for a replacement, even though his behavior was not very impressive. Life is pleasant, but at least it can be considered aboveboard.
But he didn't expect that he would secretly make a plan to force himself into a situation where he could not retreat and use it as a threat. It can be seen that this person has a bad character. A person with such a character will never think that the consequences of the failure of the conspiracy will be serious. It's your own fault, but it will only make you hate the other party even more.
Therefore, this time he can defeat anyone, but he must not defeat Mr. Dong.
Such a person must be defeated completely, otherwise once he is given a chance, he will grow like a vine.
"Very good." Mr. Dong said in a deep voice while looking at me, "You are really a formidable young man, but if you lose, you have to give me a secret skill."
"Okay." Gu Shiba Niang smiled, turned her head and stopped talking.
The brief conversation between the two people just now was naturally heard by the people around them, and it spread quickly.
"Ms. Gu, this is too much to say..."
"What's so big? This is Liu Gong's momentum."
There was a buzz of discussion in the field, but no one thought Mrs. Gu's behavior was so arrogant. Instead, they all applauded. This is called domineering. This is the domineering power of Liu Gong, the leader of the world's pharmacists. This is the domineering power that comes from strength. , of course, it would not be the case for others. For example, if you ask Liu Jian to say this, firstly, he will definitely not say it even if he is killed. Secondly, if he says it, he will definitely be booed and ridiculed by everyone.
Xin Chaoling also followed the crowd and whistled, while Xin Chaoyang on the side sighed.
"You have to do it even if you can't..." He said softly, "It's not easy..."
The pharmacists on the stage naturally heard it, and smiles with different meanings appeared on their faces.
"What do you think?" a pharmacist asked Mr. Kang.
Looking at the two people facing each other in the field, Mr. Kang smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to twist his beard, "It's hard to say."
This comment made all the pharmacists startled. Is it hard to say? This clearly means that Mrs. Gu's chances of winning are not low.
Although this Mrs. Gu has shown her strength in the first two games, which proves that her reputation is not in vain, she is still too young after all. Compared with Mr. Dong, who has been famous for many years and is also a famous teacher, is the outcome still in suspense
Gu Lingyun's gaze has been falling on the field, with a peaceful smile on his face. The winners of the medicine fight have now chosen their opponents again and stood separately. In view of the overly simple medicine fight, they have attracted a lot of people. People joined in, and the atmosphere was boiling.
This time, President Qi came forward and drew the second Dou Yao lottery.
"Refining oil to add elixir" he read loudly with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the Ten Medicine Masters on the stage breathed a sigh of relief, finally having a decent medicine fight.
Gu Shiba Niang also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had already boiled the black plaster, and the oil refining was taught by Mr. Liu at that time. However, she immediately frowned. Is this a medicine fight? It's not as difficult as the legend says.
Among the more than a dozen pairs of pharmacists who were fighting over the medicine, their faces were still very happy when they heard the name of the medicine. Although it was a little more troublesome than grabbing the cigarette and spraying it just now, compared to the previous seven-system Cyperus rotunda pills, this oil refining is still simple. Very well, it seems that I was really right to participate in this drug fight.
Because this time it was long and the fire was strong and the smoke was strong, the competition venue was returned to the back hall of the first two games.
"How is it..." Peng Yizhen squeezed over and asked, "Is it okay? I heard that the key to the success of this plaster lies in refining the oil and adding the elixir..."
Gu Shibaniang took the hot tea handed to her by Lingbao, took a sip, and nodded.
While he was talking first, the place was already ready. Everyone was busy entering and choosing their seats at will.
It was still a simple wooden shed, with even simpler furnishings. There were some commonly used medicinal materials scattered around, and there was only a pot and a basin of oil.
Gu Shiba Niang's brows frowned slightly. She couldn't help but smile when she took a sip of the pot. It turned out that there was a mechanism here, and she was afraid that someone would be frightened. . . . .
Someone had started to light a fire all around. Gu Shiba Niang raised her head and looked aside. Master Dong also lit the fire, raised his head and looked at her.
let's start. . . . Their eyes said.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Gu Shiba Niang found Huang Dan from the medicinal materials, put it into the pot, stir-fried it for a while, took it out, washed the pot and put it on the fire again.
Refining oil is actually very simple, but it takes a lot of time. Gu Shiba Niang picked up the fresh willow stick on the side and slowly started to stir.
Time passed slowly. Looking at the almost identical single action of stirring the oil pan, the excitement of the people watching gradually faded away, and some even yawned.
"That's it?" Xin Chaoling yawned, changed his position on the recliner, and directed the pretty maid behind him to rub her shoulders and neck.
Because of the oil refining, the smoke in the venue was getting bigger and bigger, and the smell was not very pleasant, so some people started to leave.
At this moment, there was only a bang and fire broke out.
"Ha, it exploded," someone screamed.
At this time, the sleepy people became energetic and looked towards the field. At the same time, there were several banging sounds, accompanied by people's screams.
Gu Shiba Niang changed her hands, then stirred the oil pan, and looked up at a gray-faced pharmacist walking beside her.
"Damn, I only talked about refining oil to add elixirs, why don't you fry the elixirs provided..." He cursed, waving his burnt sleeves and walking faster, leaving the scene amidst the whistling and ridicule of the onlookers.
The pharmacists sitting in front of the side hall showed a smile, don't underestimate the great medicine meeting, simple? Can everyone win in a simple drug battle? Are there such delicious and easy-to-get fruits in the world
Gu Shiba Niang regained her attention, her eyes were a little swollen due to the heat of the smoke, but she did not dare to be distracted. The fire was almost done. She shook her head, adjusting the civil and military fire while raising the smoke from the oil cannon.
Having been smoking by the fire for nearly an hour, Gu Shiba Niang felt that she was sweating all over, and the sweat on her forehead was getting more and more.
Why is it so hot? . . . . She took two rapid breaths, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to press her chest. She felt a faint suffocation, and she couldn't help but cough.
The sound was soft but clearly passed into the ears of Mr. Dong next door. His brows jumped and he couldn't help but look up.
He just looked over, and the girl had noticed it and immediately gave him a threatening look.
The smile on Mr. Dong's lips slowly spread.
No one will lose to you, Gu Shiba Niang snorted in her heart, turned her eyes away to concentrate, raised her hand gently to pick up the oil, and watched the oil smoke turn from black to thicker. . . . .
Almost there, almost there. . . She was muttering in her mind, recalling every move and word of Mr. Liu. Her eyes slowly moved to the cool yellow pill aside. Suddenly, a bright light flashed and her hand suddenly stopped moving.
Mr. Dong, who had been paying attention here, naturally noticed something strange about her, and his brows couldn't help but jump. He looked over again and saw Gu Shiba Niang slowly moving again. It seemed that the pause just now was just his illusion.
And at this moment, a man with a stooped figure standing not far away from the crowd, holding a teapot and a cup, suddenly raised his head.
"I know..." He let out a hoarse cry, and the teacup and teapot in his hand were suddenly thrown down with a crisp sound.
The sound made people look back, and when they saw a beggar-like old guy rushing towards him like a headless chicken, they immediately avoided him in disgust.
The smoke was so clear that the onlookers could no longer see the movements of the people present.
"Why isn't it over yet?" Xin Chaoling covered his mouth and nose with his hands and said impatiently.
As soon as he finished speaking, another bang was heard in the field. Everyone was startled. Even the old man who was rushing in stopped and everyone looked into the field.
"Haha, what unlucky guy is..." Xin Chaoling immediately became energetic, clapped his legs and laughed, tiptoeing to look into the field, waiting for the unlucky guy who fried the frying pan to appear.
In the clear smoke, a figure slowly walked out. After seeing the person clearly, the surroundings became strangely quiet.
"Ha, bad luck..." Xin Chaoling's whistle swirled in the air and fell. His eyes widened and his mouth opened in disbelief.
"What?" The pharmacists sitting in the side hall stood up a little awkwardly, looking stunned.
Gu Lingyun took a few steps forward, as if to see clearly what was going on.
"Why don't you take care of your wife..." they murmured.
Mr. Kang couldn't express his disappointment. He shook his head gently. He originally thought that if Gu Shiba Niang would lose, it would be because of the heat of refining the oil. Experience in boiling the plaster is very important. If you can't pass the experience, you won't be able to survive. To make a good plaster, especially the requirement of refining the oil to form beads by dripping water cannot be explained clearly in words and words. It is closely related to the weather and season. Even the most skilled people who make plasters dare not say that they have refined it hundreds of times. become.
It wouldn't be too embarrassing if she lost on this. I didn't expect that Mrs. Gu, who had performed so well in the first two games, would lose on the simplest, most basic step that shouldn't be made wrong.
Was it because there was no frying, or was it because the iron spoon touched the bottom of the pot, causing the frying oil to catch fire
The smoke dissipated, and the rather embarrassed Gu Shiba Niang clearly appeared in front of everyone. Her frying this time was more serious than the previous one. Her clothes were covered with oil spots, and the high temperature and hot oil burned her clothes. A hole.
She seemed unaware of the strange gazes around her, but turned to look at Mr. Dong next to her wooden shed.
The opponent failed, but the expression on Mr. Dong's face was as if he had seen a ghost. He was surprised, shocked and disbelieving, but not at all happy.
"You..." He stopped stirring with his hand, looked at Gu Shiba Niang standing outside his wooden shed, and let out a low cry with a dry mouth, how could he lose? How could you lose. . .
"I lost." Gu Shiba Niang looked at him and said, her voice was hoarse, and her usually indifferent expression became a bit ferocious, as if she could not bear this kind of failure.
Her body suddenly exuded a cold and murderous aura, which suddenly stopped the whistles and boos that were about to rise around her.
"I lost," she said seriously again, her voice squeezed out from between her teeth. She raised her feet, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and walked closer to Mr. Dong step by step.
"What's wrong with Eighteenth Mother?" Xin Chaoling finally realized something was wrong and exclaimed, "You can't be such a loser, can you?"
Xin Chaoyang was also a little confused on his face, but one thing was certain. He had never seen Gu Shiba Niang showing such emotions before. Did he just think he had lost? He looked solemn and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
"If you lose, you lose..." Mr. Dong recovered after losing his composure for a moment. He slowly stirred the oil pan with one hand and slowly poured the yellow pill into it with the other hand. The oil bubbled and thick smoke was everywhere. .
"Ms. Gu, can't you afford to lose?" His voice came slowly.
"I can afford to lose," Gu Shiba Niang said in a gloomy voice, "If I lose, let me teach you the secrets of the First Master Sect to you, Mr. Dong."
As she spoke, she approached Mr. Dong and reached out to grab the wooden stick he was still stirring.
"No need to take the pill, you win." She said, "What should I teach you?"
This little girl's pretty face was full of ferocity, and Mr. Dong couldn't help but look away.
"What do you think, how about fried frankincense?" She said slowly, showing her fine white teeth.
Mr. Dong couldn't hide his shock and looked at her in astonishment. . . she. . . knew
Gu Shiba Niang grinned, turned her other hand over, and two large chunks of wet frankincense fell into the oil pan. There was a loud bang and oil smoke flew everywhere.
"You're crazy!" Mr. Dong's expression changed drastically and he rushed out of the door.
This time the frying pan was extremely violent, causing the medicine pot to break, and the fragments of smoke and dust flew into the air. The other pharmacists around them ignored the oil pot in their hands and squatted down to avoid it.
This sudden change shocked the entire audience. The pharmacists in the stands all stood up and took a few steps forward, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong?" everyone asked.
"Ms. Gu lost so quickly that she blew up Mr. Dong's medicine pot," people shouted, causing an uproar in the scene.
Gu Lingyun's expression changed drastically, and the hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly.
"Nonsense!" Mr. Kang was furious and shouted sternly. He rushed over with a group of people and fetched water. After a while of fussing about it, Mr. Dong and Gu Shiba Niang were not injured. They were just looking miserable. pole.
"Gu Xiang, you are so naughty," Mr. Kang shouted angrily.
The dust covered Gu Shiba Niang's face and her expression could not be seen clearly.
"Yes." She said lightly.
"Pharmacist Dong, are you okay?" Mr. Kang looked at Mr. Dong aside and asked with concern.
Mr. Dong looked panicked, as if he had been greatly frightened. His face turned pale and his body was shaking slightly.
"No...no..." he said tremblingly, his eyes wandering, and finally fell on Gu Lingyun who was standing behind the pharmacist. He raised his feet and was about to rush over, but saw Gu Lingyun's eyes condensed and his footsteps stopped.
"Mr. Dong, I lost. You haven't told me what secret skills you want from me." Gu Shiba's voice sounded behind him.
"Who cares about your master's secret skills?" Mr. Dong shouted fiercely.
It seemed that Mr. Dong was really angry. Anyone who was made such a fuss would be angry. Everyone's expressions were clear, and they looked at Gu Shiba Niang with a somewhat unkind expression.
As expected, I'm used to having smooth sailing and I can't afford to lose.
Gu Shiba Niang turned a blind eye to the looks around her. She just looked at Mr. Dong. After hearing these words, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Yeah, what's the use of a dead person asking for other people's secret skills..." She murmured, her voice was so low that others could only see her mouth moving slightly.
After saying this, she laughed a few times, turned around and left.
"That's ridiculous," the ten pharmacists all looked ugly and shouted in a low voice.
To appease everyone, the Grand Medicine Conference must continue. This incident caused the two most powerful people to stop the competition. This is a great benefit to other medicine masters. There are two less competitors, and Not to mention the prize money that the opponent has to pay, the secret recipe of Wanying Ointment from Guangda Yaohui is enough to attract everyone's excitement. Even Liu Jian can't think of seeking revenge from Lady Gu for the time being and joins the fight. Lady Gu is in the fight. If he fails, no matter who loses, he will win in the end, and then he will be worthy of his name.
Gu Shiba Niang couldn't hear the commotion behind her. She walked out quickly, not even looking to see if Peng Yizhen Lingbao and the others had caught up. She walked very fast and started to trot in the end, with the gate looming in sight.
"Eighteen Niang" a figure suddenly stopped her.
Gu Shiba Niang staggered slightly and stopped her feet to avoid bumping into the man.
"Old shopkeeper Wang..." She looked at the person in front of her and forced a smile, "What's the matter?"
"Ms. Gu, are you okay?" Wang Zhangzhang asked with concern. Although there was ashes on his face, he could not hide the girl's gradually turning pale face. "What happened just now..."
He started talking nonchalantly.
"Mr. Wang, please forgive me for taking a step first..." Gu Shiba Niang interrupted him and walked away.
"Hey, Mrs. Gu..." Wang Zhangyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her. He also knew that Mrs. Gu must be tired, but no matter how tired she was, it was nothing compared to seeing this person. He pointed to the side and lowered his voice. He said, "... Go meet someone..."
"Who is it? I am..." Gu Shiba Niang looked at what he pointed at and said urgently.
Her voice stopped, and she watched a man with a handsome figure and an imposing manner slowly approaching. He slowly approached, and stretched out his hand to slightly lift his big hat, revealing his delicate facial features.
Prince Wenjun nodded at the stunned girl in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the girl's expression suddenly change. He stretched out his hand to hold her chest, and with a pop, a mouthful of blood spurted out from her mouth.
Blood spattered on the front of his dark gold clothes, and the man fell down at the same time. He took a quick step forward, stretched out his hand and took her into his arms.
-------------------------------------------------- -
So tired. . . . It took a whole day to select the prescription. The technical stream is really not easy to play.
