Chapter 22: The Liar

There are still several traditional Chinese medicine stores in Jiangning City, but the one Chen Linxuan chose belongs to the kind that is not very famous, the name of the pharmacy: Jimintang. There are several reasons why this pharmacy is not very famous, one is the problem of location, one is the problem of drug price, and the other is the personality of the boss himself.

Jimintang is located near the urban village in the north of the city, while the wealthy area of Jiangning City is generally in the south and east of the city, so it has a few fewer advantages than several other pharmacies.

The price of medicine in Jimintang has always been on the high side, in the words of their boss, that is, the medicine is good, and it is all carefully selected good medicinal materials, excluding the slightly inferior ones. However, for ordinary people who have always saved, it doesn't matter if the same medicine is slightly less effective, anyway, it is an effect, and it can save a little bit. Eating rice doesn't mean eating the best rice, as long as it's regular rice, it's okay, a truth.

The personality of the boss of Jimin Hall is the most peculiar, and he can talk and behave according to his own heart. He once had a big fight with someone because someone accidentally knocked over a cup of tea in his shop, and he once served a bowl of cool mung bean soup to the sanitation workers on the street on a hot summer day.

The reason why Chen Linxuan chose this one, in addition to the good quality of his family's medicinal materials, there is another secret that is not known to ordinary people.

When the old lady of the Chen family, that is, Chen Linxuan's great-grandfather, died, Chen Linxuan was only four years old. A week before the old lady's death, she was still obsessed with some things at home, but her mouth was slurred and vague, and no one could understand it.

After inviting Li Anping, an old Chinese medicine doctor in Jiangnan Province, to see it, Li Lao told them that the old man had come to the time, and I was afraid that time was running out. The family was filled with an atmosphere of grief, and the old lady still slurred and couldn't stop talking, eager to express something.

The old lady couldn't lift a pen when she was old, and she couldn't say it clearly, so the Chen family was worried about it, and at this time, Li Lao said: "I have a recipe here, maybe I can help the old lady Chen speak." ”

Chen Wuwei listened and asked, "Dare to ask Elder Li, what is the recipe, can you really help my father speak?"

Li Anping nodded and said, "The old lady is old, and I can briefly stimulate his tongue so that he can speak." It's just that the medicine on this prescription is not easy to find, and I haven't prescribed it for people so far, because there is no medicine. ”

When Chen Wuwei heard that the medicine was not easy to find, he was immediately a little frustrated, and after thinking about it, he still asked Li Anping to bring the prescription, and then mobilized all the resources and strength of the Chen family to find the medicinal materials on the prescription.

A day passed, and the medicinal materials were searching, but they could not find the two flavors of silver heart wood and dangyang flower. Chen Wuwei asked people everywhere to find a relationship, but no one had heard of these two medicines at all.

On the evening of the third day, a young man in his twenties came from outside the courtyard of the Chen family, saying that he had these two flavors of medicine and was willing to sell them to the Chen family.

The person who came was the owner of Jimin Hall, Xiang Jimin. At that time, not long after he went to Jiangning City to open the pharmacy of Jimintang, he heard that the Chen family was looking for these two flavored medicines, so he hurriedly sent them over. When Chen Wuwei saw him, he was carrying a package, thinking that it should be medicinal herbs. The request to Jimin was very simple, to help him buy the shop he rented, and the medicine belonged to the Chen family.

The two hit it off, a shop, for the Chen family, is nothing more than something that can be solved by opening an opening, and it is worth it to exchange for these two key medicines! Li Anping was also amazed when he saw these two flavors of medicine, and he was really found by the Chen family, and he was not verbose at the moment, and after adjusting the dosage according to the prescription, he asked people to decoct the medicine.

The old lady didn't have an hour to speak after drinking the medicine, it turned out that the old lady knew that he had passed away soon, and he wanted to explain a few things clearly.

Since then, all of the Chen family's Chinese herbs have been purchased from Jimin Tang, regardless of the price. In addition to repaying the love of giving medicine to Jimin back then, there are many scarce medicinal materials that ordinary people don't know, and only Jimin Hall has them. Chen Linxuan has also been to Jimin Hall a few times, but it has been many years, and he may not know him when he wants to come to Jimin.

When I arrived at the pharmacy, I saw Xiang Jimin busy sorting today's newly arrived medicinal materials, and he had to teach two apprentices. Chen Linxuan and Chen Zhijun shouted when they entered the door: "Uncle Xiang." ”

Xiang Jimin raised his head, a man and two women, the man was a little familiar, one of the two women didn't know him at all, and the other was Chen Zhijun He knew. The reason why I know Chen Zhijun is because the old lady of the Chen family sometimes comes to Jimin Hall to personally grab some medicine to calm the nerves and nourish the body, and often takes Chen Zhijun with her.

"Yo, Xiaojun is here, who are these two?" Xiang Jimin stood up to greet him and asked Chen Zhijun.

"This is my brother Uncle Xiang, Chen Linxuan, and this is my brother's friend Ao Qinyu. Chen Zhijun introduced.

When Xiang Jimin heard that it was Chen Linxuan, he patted his thigh and said embarrassedly: "It's Xiao Xuan, I can't recognize it if I haven't seen me for the past few years." Why do you have time to play with me today?"

Chen Linxuan explained with a smile: "Uncle Xiang, we came here today to find you. When Xiang Jimin heard that something was wrong, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well, yes, buy some herbs. Chen Linxuan nodded, and then looked at Ao Qinyu beside him. Ao Qinyu understood, reported a string of drug names, and wrote it down silently while listening to it, but as Ao Qinyu reported more and more, Xiang Jimin couldn't help frowning, many of these medicinal materials were extremely rare, and even his inventory only had one or two.

After Xiang Jimin finished reporting to Ao Qinyu, he looked at Chen Linxuan and asked, "Xiao Xuan, what do you want these medicinal herbs for? ”

Chen Linxuan actually didn't know what these medicinal materials were for, everything was requested by Ao Qinyu, he couldn't help but look at Ao Qinyu, counting on her to explain the reason.

Ao Qinyu just said: "Refining medicine." ”

When Xiang Jimin heard these two words, he was stunned for a while, and it took a while before he came back to his senses. He looked Ao Qinyu up and down, and then pulled Chen Linxuan to the side without saying anything and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xuan, to be honest, are you practicing martial arts?"

Chen Linxuan felt very strange, just nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter, Uncle Xiang?" Xiang Jimin heard him say yes, and immediately asked: "Did this woman tell you that she can refine medicine to help you quickly improve your martial arts?" Chen Linxuan still gave an affirmative answer.

Xiang Jimin told him: "Xiao Xuan, you have been deceived, how can there be any refining medicine to improve martial arts cultivation these days! You don't know, the alchemist has been lost for hundreds of years! Now no one knows how to refine medicine at all, that woman must be lying to you!"

Chen Linxuan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this reason, and his uncle thought that Ao Qinyu was a liar, but he couldn't explain Ao Qinyu's true identity, and he was in a dilemma at the moment.

Xiang Jimin's words Ao Qinyu heard all the words in her ears, but fortunately, she didn't mind this, and Xiang Jimin was the elder of Chen Linxuan and Chen Zhijun, so she still had to give this face.

Chen Linxuan explained to Jimin for a long time that Ao Qinyu was not a liar, Xiang Jimin just didn't believe it, and he insisted that it was impossible to sell him medicinal materials to be deceived. Xiang Jimin, who was stubborn, even wanted to drive Ao Qinyu out, so as not to let Chen Linxuan be deceived again.

Ao Qinyu knew that she didn't want to think of a way to buy this medicine today, she thought for a while, and said, "Since you say that I am a liar, you might as well take out the medicinal herbs, and I will refine them for you to see." ”

Chen Linxuan nodded hurriedly after hearing this: "Yes, yes, Uncle Xiang, you take some medicine out first, and we will refine it for you in person." ”

Xiang Jimin couldn't help but laugh and said: "Take some out, how many medicines do you think I have here, I only have two Qi Grasses, only one Earth Spirit Fruit, and only two or two lotus seeds in total, what should I do if I take them for you to spoil me?"

Ao Qinyu raised her hand and stretched out her index finger, only to see a trace of dark blue flame on her index finger beating slowly, like a blue elf. She said, "Well, you think it's going to ruin your medicine?"

Xiang Jimin looked at the flame and asked curiously, "What kind of trick are you?" Ao Qinyu responded to him: "Trick? Don't you recognize this as the Heavenly Spirit Fire?"

When Xiang Jimin heard the three words of Heavenly Spirit Fire, he suddenly thundered like five thunderbolts, looked at it carefully for a long time, and almost reached out to touch it. However, if he dared to reach out and touch it, the high temperature of the Heavenly Spirit Fire could instantly ignite his whole person.

Xiang Jimin looked at it for a long time, but still sneered in disbelief: "You say that this is the Heavenly Spirit Fire, it is the Heavenly Spirit Fire?" Not to mention that no one has seen the Heavenly Spirit Fire for hundreds of years, how can anyone practice the Heavenly Spirit Fire in this era? The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has long since dissipated, and how can the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi be ignited if it can't be gathered? I see that you know a lot, how could you do such a deceptive trick?"

Ao Qinyu put away the flames on his fingertips, and didn't explain much, just said: "Since you don't even believe in the Heavenly Spirit Fire, I have nothing to say." Chen Linxuan, let's go. After saying that, she turned around and went out, probably a little angry.

Seeing this, Chen Linxuan and Chen Zhijun hurriedly complained to Jimin and chased out...
