Chapter 139: Meeting the Villain

PS: Ask for monthly passes and subscriptions!

A month later.

In this month's time, Ye Zi and Shen He had two coincidental encounters in the Baicao Hall, intentionally or unintentionally.

Every time, the other party always praised her half-truthfully, and said that he could promote her to become the chief medicine director of the No. 3 Great Medicine Field. Perhaps in the eyes of other pharmacists, it is very rare to become the chief medicine of the big medicine field.

Not to mention the medicine chief's salary of fifteen spirit stones per month, he can also receive a lot of herbs from the filial piety of the pharmacists, and he can also get two bottles of elixir rewarded by the deacon hall every year.

The most important thing is that the chief medicine officer is also a small official position, and he does not have to work hard in the field every day, but only needs to supervise the medicine workers and take care of the medicine field.

There is no pharmacy worker who does not covet this position.

But Ye Zi is the opposite of others, she didn't come to Baicaotang for money, and she didn't want to be an official, she just wanted to learn herbal cultivation and alchemy.

Now, she has a thorough understanding of most of the herb cultivation methods, and her alchemy skills are steadily improving, she is very satisfied with all this, and she has no much interest in the position of medicine chief at all.

The other six pharmacists in the No. 3 Great Medicine Field were all older than her, and if she really surpassed them with the help of Shen He to become the medicine chief, it was estimated that she would not have a peaceful life in the future. If these people join forces in private to stumble on her, it will really outweigh the losses.

Moreover, if you want to take the benefits of Shen He, you have to pay a price. With Xing Haodong's advance warning, she could probably guess Shen He's intentions, and naturally it was even more impossible to get close to him.

It was noon, and the other pharmacists had gone back to rest, and only Ye Zi was still in charge of distributing the rain in the field. Originally, if Xiaogu was here, she wouldn't be busy at this time. But unfortunately, the water spirit root pharmacist of the big medicine field next door suddenly quit his job as a pharmacist a few days ago due to something at home, and Xiao Gu was borrowed, resulting in the fact that the herbs of the entire No. 3 big medicine field now have to be completed by Ye Zi alone.

She is now a cultivator of the eighth layer of Qi refining, and she has already learned the Great Rain Technique, and it is not too difficult to pour a large medicine field by herself. It could have been done sooner.

But she still uses the small cloth rain technique, and it is poured very slowly, mainly because she wants to avoid eating with everyone.

Yun Qi left Baicaotang half a month ago for unknown reasons. Many female pharmacists are both frustrated and unwilling. What's even funnier is that some people even vent their frustration at her.

Either it was a bitter and derogatory word, or it could make people feel like a complaining look, which made her feel very unhappy.

Listening to Fan Dandan's words, she understood--those female pharmacists didn't know why Bai Yunqi suddenly left Baicaotang, so they went to inquire about those alchemists. They couldn't say why, and in the end, everyone rumored that it was because of her arrogance that angered Yun Zhenren, which caused the other party to leave angrily.

She felt that she was simply more wronged than Dou E.

Therefore, for half a month, she has tried to avoid the time to eat with other pharmacists.

A quarter of an hour later, the medicine field had been watered, the leaves were put away, and the sky was looking, intending to go back to the residence to rest.

Just halfway through. I met Lin Xiang who came to inspect the medicine field.

"Steward Lin." She stepped forward and called.

Lin Xiang smiled and said with concern: "Well, why is it so late?" ”

"Xiao Gu was borrowed by the No. 2 medicine field, and now the watering work is entrusted to me alone, so I have lost time."

Hearing her explanation, the other party suddenly said, "I see." Then you go to dinner, it's not too early. ”

With that, Lin Xiang walked past her and continued to walk forward. She got out of the way and waited for the other to walk by. Only then did she turn around and walk in the direction of her residence, but she didn't go far when she suddenly stopped, and then turned around and chased after Lin Xiang quickly.

Lin Xiang, who heard the footsteps, turned around suspiciously. After seeing that it was Ye Zi who went and returned, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What else do you have to do?" ”

Ye Zi asked, "I heard what Hall Master Xing said, Steward Lin, are you going to go to Sifang City to recruit new pharmacists?" ”

Lin Xiang nodded inexplicably, "What's wrong?" ”

"My home is in Sifang City, and I was going to go back and have a look, so I ......" She looked at the other party expectantly.

Lin Xiang instantly understood what she meant. "You want to go with us for recruitment?"

"Exactly."

Lin Xiang didn't answer her immediately, and after a little silence, he explained: "This time, I was supposed to go with a male steward from the medicine mountain, and there were no other places. Besides, this trip will be delayed for several days, who should you hand over the matter of your medicine field? ”

In fact, this is also where the leaves are in a dilemma, and it would be good if Kotani hadn't been borrowed. Now she is responsible for watering the No. 3 medicine field alone, and if she leaves, she really doesn't know who will fall on this watering job.

Lin Xiang saw that Ye Zi was embarrassed, and immediately smiled: "I will report this matter to the master of Xing Hall, if he agrees, then you will go with us in half a month." It's just that you have to find a way to solve the matter of this medicine field by yourself. ”

Hearing the other party say this, she was overjoyed, "Okay, thank you for managing Lin." ”

"Not necessarily." The other party looked at her with an appreciative expression, "I was very optimistic about you at the beginning, so I recommended you to be Yun Zhenren's medicine boy, but unexpectedly...... In fact, I have heard about what happened, and although I don't agree with your approach, I also admire you. ”

Hearing Lin Xiang's sincere praise, Ye Zi smiled a little embarrassedly, "I just don't want to make myself feel uneasy." ”

Lin Xiang nodded understandingly, "I understand what you mean." It's your nature, but now in the Cultivation Realm, it's easy for a kind-hearted person like you to suffer--"

Speaking of this, the expression on the other party's face suddenly became much more solemn, and Ye Zi's expression became serious when he saw this. I only heard the other party continue: "In places like Yongcheng City and Sifang City, because all cultivators live together, the monks will be more or less influenced by mortals, and there is still a trace of kindness in their hearts, and they can't really break off their feelings and righteousness, and the fight between them is not really to the point of life and death. So, it's not a big problem for you to keep such kindness. But ......"

"If you are fortunate enough to be able to go to the true cultivation mainland in the future, this kind of kindness will never be necessary. Otherwise, one day, you will pay a huge price for your kindness, and then you will regret it later. ”

When Lin Xiang said this, there was a trace of sadness and regret on her face, which made her very puzzled, so she asked tentatively: "Manager Lin, have you been to the Xiuzhen Mainland?" ”

The other party sighed abruptly, "The past." No commission. I just can't bear to let you be burdened by the kindness of your own heart, whether you can listen to it in your heart, or listen to it. ”

Hearing what the other party said, she hurriedly said, "Thank you Steward Lin for mentioning it." I will take what you say to heart, and I may not be able to change it for a while, but I will keep my eyes open and not be that foolish. ”

"That's good." Lin Xiang gave her an appreciative look again, "Cultivation is a journey." The most important thing is to stick to your heart in order to achieve the path. If you listen to my words today and throw away your true heart, it will be self-defeating. ”

Lin Xiang left quickly, but the words of the other party kept churning in Ye Zi's heart.

Cultivators, do they really have to abandon the seven emotions and six desires, and be truly cold-hearted and ruthless, in order to achieve the Great Dao?

Two days later, Lin Xiang told her that Hall Master Xing had agreed to her request to go to Sifang City with her.

The matter of returning to Sifang City is settled. Now that is the matter of the medicine field, who should I ask for help?

The people on the side of the big medicine field, she only knew Xiao Gu who had a water spirit root. But Xiao Gu was already in charge of the No. 2 large medicine field, and he couldn't afford to water a large medicine field alone.

If it were her, it would be barely possible. Xiao Gu cultivated as a fifth-level qi refining technique, and he could only use the small rain technique, and it would take at least two hours to complete the pouring of a large medicine field.

If the two large medicine fields are watered twice a day, then she can't water them from dawn to midnight?

It took four days to go back and forth from here to Sifangcheng, plus a day or two to recruit pharmacists. A total of six days. If you use the Clear Water Charm to water it, you will need about ten sheets.

It seems that this is the only way.

She only has three left, and it seems that she is going to go to Yongning City to buy it.

The next day. After the leaves were quickly watered, they took leave and left the Baicaotang. If she was quick to go back and forth, she would be able to go back to the medicine field before sunset to finish the second watering.

She didn't notice that after she left Baicaotang, a figure quickly followed her.

Out of the Hundred Grass Hall, he entered the hinterland of Xingyue Valley. Due to the steep peaks of the mountain. The giant trees in the valley are towering, blocking most of the sunlight, and the interior of the Starmoon Valley is very dark during the day.

After walking for about half an hour, Xiao Bai suddenly slowed down his pace, raised his head and let out a fierce roar like a tiger's head.

The leaf was in touch with it, and her expression was awe-inspiring at the moment, and the spiritual application technique quickly dispersed with the spiritual sense, and after seeing the person behind her clearly, her brows furrowed slightly.

The other party's cultivation is too much higher than her, she can't run, and besides, she doesn't seem to need to run?

Thinking like this, she beckoned Xiao Bai to stop, jumped off the tiger's back, and turned to look at the person behind her.

Shen He's swiftness was very fast, and he arrived in front of Ye Zi in an instant, and jumped down the flying sword.

"Hall Master Shen."

Shen He's gaze was fixed on her, I don't know if it was an illusion, she felt that there seemed to be something more in the other party's gaze today.

Seeing that he didn't squeak, she called again: "I've seen Hall Master Shen." ”

This time, Shen He responded, and said with a smile: "Where is Ye Yaogong going?" ”

"Go to Yongning City to run errands."

Although Shen He's eyes were strange, there was nothing strange about the question, so she replied honestly.

"Oh." The other party's gaze fell on her slender snow-white neck, and he said in an ambiguous tone: "I also happen to go to Yongning City, let's go together?" ”

Now, if she doesn't understand it, it's really a pig.

She also reacted to the strangeness of the other party's eyes in an instant, it was blazing. A man, from the barren mountains and wilderness, looked at herself with a fiery eye, and she would rather screw her head off if she had no ill intentions!

Ye Zi speculated maliciously: Could it be that Shen He saw that he couldn't subdue her, so he planned to subdue her body and heart first, and then use her to do things for him?

I'll go, it's really non-toxic and not a husband!

Perhaps, the same is true of Xu Xiangqin at the beginning? So after the volcanic stone powder incident, she only received a small punishment, which should be the credit of Shen He.

"You don't want to?"

Just as her mind was racing, thinking about how to avoid the other party, Shen He's voice sounded again.

She hurriedly raised her gaze to meet the other party, and was about to say something, but suddenly saw the banter flashing at the corner of the other party's mouth and the ambition in his eyes.

Okay! Could it be that he thought that he would definitely give in if he relied on his cultivation to be high?

Ye Zi immediately replied stiffly: "Yes, I don't want to." ”

At the same time, her wrist, hidden in the cuff, moved slightly.

"Oh?"

She didn't miss the error and disbelief in the other party's eyes, although it was fast, but she just saw it clearly.

"Why not? Doesn't Ye Yaogong know that my flying sword is at least twice as fast as your contract beast? ”

When Xiao Bai on the side heard this, he immediately shook his head and let out a low roar of dissatisfaction, and the tiger glared at the other party angrily.

"No, I'm not in a hurry." She hurriedly rubbed Xiao Bai's head soothingly.

Shen He glanced at Xiaobai amusedly, and walked towards her step by step.

"Ye Yaogong is so smart and icy, he can't fail to hear what I mean, right? Why play dumb? ”

can be regarded as showing his tail, this is his obscene face, right?

As the other party approached step by step, the leaf gently retreated, accidentally stepping on a dry branch.

"Click!"

The two of them were at the same time. (To be continued.) )
