Chapter 5: The Immortal Pharmacist
Regarding the Four Gates of the Imperial Spirit, Ye Yichen had heard from his uncle, but it was the first time he had heard of these old anecdotes about the passing of the head of Tianji Valley. He had never personally experienced these things in the Spirit Realm, so it sounded like it was just fresh and surprising, and it didn't feel as shocking as Hongluan said. After all, these things were too far away from his life, and in the eyes of Ye Yichen, they were like just legends that circulated among the people.
The only thing that can have anything to do with the spirit world is the set of exercises taught by his uncle and Aunt Xue since he was a child, but he was also instructed by them not to use it in front of outsiders. When he was a child, he had two fights with the children in the town, and he was forced to use them in a hurry, but when he returned home, he was severely repaired by his always good-natured uncle, and he still remembers it vividly.
Ye Yichen once asked Chunyuan: "Since you don't let me use it, why do you want to learn it?"
Chun Yuan simply replied at the time: "The time has not yet come." Later, after thinking about it, he added,
"Unless you are worried about your life!"
Ye Yichen didn't expect that Hongluan was not only knowledgeable, but also knew about these old things in the spirit world, in addition to admiration, he was also a little more curious now.
Mei Nanzi was already impatient to listen to it, he had no interest in these things, and he was sitting on pins and needles there. From time to time, a good drinker came to talk to him and laughed, he has always been informal, never cares about the eyes of others, but he can't stand so many people around him.
As he spoke, he retreated, grabbed the remaining half of the chicken leg on the table and ran out of the door. This time, Hongluan didn't stop him, just shouted loudly and walked slowly, which made the people around him laugh again.
Hongluan ignored everyone and continued what he hadn't finished just now.
Taibai Qingyun came from the hand of a mysterious person in the Imperial Spirit Realm, and everyone knew very little about him, only that he was a pharmacist, nameless, unassigned, and even male or female. It is rumored that there are no more than ten people in the entire Imperial Spirit Realm, and they live in different eras. Among them, there is the fourth generation abbot of the nameless temple who does not kill the master, but the people have already done it four hundred years ago. No one knew how long the pharmacist had lived, so they called him the Immortal Pharmacist.
It's just that fifteen years ago, this immortal pharmacist disappeared along with his Taibai Qingyun, and for a full fifteen years, there was no news.
Hearing this, Ye Yichen was shocked, and his brain buzzed. If this is true, then wouldn't Uncle Chunyuan become an old monster? When he thought that he had lived with him for more than ten years, he felt a burst of nervousness in his heart for no reason, and he couldn't help but grab Hongluan's hand, and when he held it, he felt that his hand was like a soft one, soft and tender, and he was stunned.
Hongluan lowered his head and smiled, gently broke free of his hand, and said, "Okay, I've been talking about it for a morning, it's time to go." ”
Ye Yichen suddenly realized, look at the sky, it was almost noon, and hurried to the counter to hang the account.
After calculating it, he ate fifteen taels of silver for this meal, and Hongluan seems to be really an expert, so he can pick some expensive points.
He felt happy in his heart, he felt that no matter how much money he spent, he had never talked so happily with anyone except his uncle Chunyuan and Aunt Xue.
The two of them came out of the store, the cold wind blew on their faces, Hongluan couldn't help but shrink his neck and quickly wrapped his neck around, and said, "Thank you for today's wine and food, let's say goodbye, there will be a date later." ”
Ye Yichen saw that his clothes were tattered and thin, and he felt uncomfortable, so he took off his coat and put it on him, and then took out the money bag, put it in Hongluan's hand, and said: "Brother, although we met in Pingshui, but at first sight, these money are used to buy clothes, if it is not enough, you can come to the Drifting Snow Inn to find Lao Song and get some silver taels, and you can hang my account." ”
Hongluan arched his hand, without saying a word, bowed his head and turned around and strode forward.
Ye Yichen watched Hongluan get farther and farther away, and his heart was mixed for a moment, he looked at Hongluan's back blankly, and for a while he froze in place
"Hey, nerd'", Hongluan, who had already walked away, turned around and shouted at Ye Yichen again, and beckoned him to pass.
Ye Yichen came back to his senses, trotted to Hongluan's side, and asked, "Have you forgotten something?"
Hongluan smiled lightly and said, "My apprentice ran away, and now he is hungry again." I've heard people say that there is a restaurant here that specializes in cooking fish, and it tastes very good, as if it's called Bai..."
"It's called Baiwei Food, where is Shuangyue Lake, I'll take my brother to eat again. Ye Yichen said happily, the sadness in his heart just now was replaced by happiness.
The two arrived at Baiwei Restaurant, this restaurant is much smaller than the Drifting Snow Inn, but the layout is elegant and simple, clean and tidy, it is built by the lake, and there is a breeze blowing from time to time, which is also a unique taste.
The two of them chose a place to sit down by the window facing the lake, this time Hongluan only ordered two fish and a pot of osmanthus tea, and he chatted while eating, chatting nonsense from all over the world.
Later, Ye Yichen asked where Hongluan's family was, and before he asked, Hongluan's tears fell, and he thought that Hongluan was an orphan like himself, so he would be sad.
And Hongluan told him that his father was getting along with other women, and now he doesn't want him. Then Ye Yichen asked Hongluan's mother again, and Hongluan cried even more sadly, saying that she was sick and died three years ago.
Ye Yichen sighed and said, "There must be some misunderstanding between you and your father, how can parents in the world not love their children?"
"He hurts me, how can he scold me?" Hongluan asked rhetorically while wiping his tears, and when he wiped his hand, his already dark face became even more spent.
Ye Yichen was just about to say something, but suddenly saw Hongluan's big flower face, and couldn't help laughing.
"Don't you see me so sad? Poor boy that Mom and Dad don't want, you still laugh at me. Hongluan stomped his foot and scolded.
Ye Yichen borrowed a bronze mirror from his buddy for Hongluan, picked up the mirror and looked at it, he didn't even hold back himself, and broke into laughter.
"You wait for me here. Without waiting for Ye Yichen to answer, Hongluan walked out with a smile.
The second floor of the Drifting Snow Inn.
It was a separate upper room, in the innermost part of the second floor, spacious and secluded, firmly insulated from the noise of the idle people, its doors were open, and the interior was very elegantly decorated. On the eaves of the door hangs a row of buds of sun-scented cinnamon, the leaves are emerald green, the petals are snow-white and shiny, and they look very fresh, as if they have just been picked.
At this moment, two people were sneaking towards this room, they were thin, their eyes were old-fashioned, and they were secretly staring at the two people who were drifting in the snow in the morning.
"Is this the room?"
"I guess, I saw her walk this way last night, and this is the room. ”
"Be careful, how many brothers from our life and death gate were folded in her hands back then!"
"I just looked, she was going upstairs and downstairs to greet guests, and she didn't have time to come. Besides, in broad daylight, she didn't expect anyone to be going to her room. But big brother, can you confirm that she is Bingji Ling Xue'er?
"The eldest prince said that she was hiding in this town, and she was the only one here who checked and checked in the past few days. She was hit by the unique poison of the eldest prince back then, and the three corpses were broken, and even the immortal pharmacist had no choice but to rely on taking the fish blood of the black-scaled mackerel to continue her life. The black-scaled mackerel is a highly poisonous demon fish, and the blood is full of anger, so it cannot be taken directly, and it must be put in the copper cup of our life and death gate for seven days to dissolve the demon poison. As long as we find the Bronze Cup of Resentment, we can go to the eldest prince to receive the reward. Don't talk nonsense, don't let the other brothers take the lead!"
The two entered the house, said no more, and rummaged lightly.
