The 11th Round: Second Class Merit
As the saying goes, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle, and Zhao Zheng is understandable for doing this, and Yu Ling'er can't find anything wrong.
Prescriptions are such things, less than one or two flavors of medicinal materials, there are vastly different medicinal effects, the more high-quality pills, the more so. There is no need for more, even if there is less medicinal materials, it may lead to the ineffectiveness of the three drugs of Jade Muscle Ointment, Meat Xiangdan, and Tongqiao Dan and even produce changes in the surname of the medicine.
Therefore, a mutilated prescription is no different from a discarded prescription.
If Yu Ling'er wanted to get a complete prescription, she could only agree to the conditions prescribed by Zhao Zheng, but fortunately, this was not an excessive condition, otherwise she would be embarrassed.
In order to get a complete prescription as soon as possible, she decided to leave immediately and go to the master to ask for his advice. She asked Zhao to wait in the living room of Leng Xiangju, while she hurried to Master's residence.
Le didn't know that as the head of the faction, of course his residence was also on top of the Jade Emperor. Yu Ling'er soon arrived at the master's residence, but unfortunately she was in vain, and learned from the young and beautiful master that the master had gone to the Criminal Rules Hall to deal with some assignments. She said goodbye to her master and went to the Criminal Rules Hall instead, and this time she finally met her master.
Yu Ling'er is low-key and silent, even in front of her master. She only used a few words, briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and didn't say much.
Although it was only a few words, after listening to it, Coke didn't know that after listening to it, it was like an electric shock, his body shook violently, and the white beard under his round chin trembled three times. He was afraid that his ears had heard it wrong, so he asked, "Ling'er, you say it again, what prescription did Zhao Zheng give you?" ”
He took out three prescriptions, which were the prescriptions of the Jade Muscle Ointment, the Meat Xiangdan, and the Tongqi Pill. Yu Ling'er replied succinctly.
"Have you checked, are these three prescriptions true or false?" Le didn't know how to ask.
"According to the apprentice's humble opinion, it should be true, if the master has any doubts, please see for yourself." As she spoke, Yu Ling'er reached into her sleeve and took out three prescriptions from the light blue silk sleeve and presented them to the master. In fact, her medical level and alchemy skills have surpassed that of her master, and her speech is authoritative enough.
Le Bu didn't know that he took the three prescriptions, looked at them for a while, looked at them for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, although I can't be completely sure that these three prescriptions are true, judging from the combination of these medicinal materials and the surnames of the medicines, they are very consistent with these three medicines, and these three prescriptions are still very reliable." ”
"These three prescriptions are really reliable, otherwise I wouldn't have come to your old man to discuss them. It's just that these three prescriptions are incomplete, and some medicinal materials are missing in them. Zhao Zheng deliberately left a hand, and did not give me the complete prescription directly, but told me about the conditions, and only by agreeing to his conditions could he give me the complete prescription. Yu Ling'er said.
"You just said it in a hurry, I didn't listen carefully, you repeat, what are the conditions he offered?" Le didn't know how to ask.
"He doesn't have many conditions, just one. The prescription he provided was empty of medicinal materials, but there was no refining process and dosage ratio, and he wanted me to teach him how to refine these three medicines, it was as simple as that. Yu Ling'er said lightly.
Le didn't know what to say, twisted his white beard in his hand, pondered for a moment, and muttered: "The alchemy skills of the teacher have always been passed on, but this time the situation is special, since he has come up with such a precious prescription, it is good to make an exception once." I allow you to promise this and teach him the art of refining these three medicines. However, you must be measured in the teaching process, and remember not to teach him everything that the teacher has taught you. ”
When Yu Ling'er heard that her master agreed, she secretly rejoiced, and the reason why she was happy was of course because of the three prescriptions, not because she was able to teach Zhao Zheng. She has always hated teaching others the most, let alone outsiders, even her little apprentices, she rarely teaches them, and they all let the apprentices explore on their own, which makes those apprentices complain one by one.
A smile bloomed on Le Bu's face, and he said with a smile: "If you can get those three prescriptions, it will be of great help to this sect." This Zhao Zheng is really a lucky star, he just came to Benmen, and he has made so many great achievements and brought so many happy events. ”
"What credit has he made besides this?" Yu Ling'er said curiously.
"Why, haven't you heard?" Le said unexpectedly.
"Master, it's not that you don't know, I've always lived in a simple house, rarely go out, and I don't like to inquire about those parents and what happens in the sect, except for particularly important things, those miscellaneous and small things, I don't know anything." Yu Ling'er said lightly.
"That's right." Le Bu smiled bitterly and nodded, he couldn't know much about this apprentice's surname. He picked up what he had just said and replied, "When he first came to the sect, he brought with him a traitor who had defected from his own sect, and this was the first credit. He lived here for a few days, and then he shot off a gangster in the night, which was the second credit. Now he has offered three more precious prescriptions to this sect, which is the third credit, and it is even greater than the first two! ”
"After you said this, I remembered that a month ago, someone sneaked into the top of the Jade Emperor at night, and this incident caused a stir at the time, and it turned out that he was the one who beat the villain." Yu Ling'er said suddenly.
"Alas, it's a pity that I couldn't catch that villain, and I also caused the secret passage that had been built for many years to be sealed." I don't know if every time I think about it, I still feel a little pity.
"Master's words are wrong, there is nothing to regret if the secret passage is sealed, for the Taishan faction, there is no need for any secret passage to use when escaping." Yu Ling'er said coldly.
"Hehe, maybe." Le didn't know how to smile bitterly and didn't argue. As the head of the faction, he is in charge of the entire Taishan faction instead of Jintai, of course, he can't say some frustrating words in front of the doorman. But he knew in his heart that it was still necessary to leave a secret passage. Because he still remembers the bloody battle seven years ago, if the Taishan faction and the Three Swords Sect break out again, they can use the secret passage to send those little ** who are not good at learning and art down the mountain early, so as not to send these little ** to death in vain. The original purpose of the construction of that secret passage was to do this.
Seeing that the master was speechless for a long time, Yu Ling'er proposed: "Master, if you agree to the matter just now, then I will go back to Leng Xiangju now, and Zhao Zheng is still there waiting for my reply." ”
Le Bu came back to his senses and stopped: "Slow, don't be in a hurry to leave, this matter is not trivial, I will take care of the matter at hand, and then go with you to see Zhao Zheng." ”
"Okay, Master, you're busy, the apprentice is waiting for you here." Yu Ling'er agreed.
Le Bu explained a few words to the people in the Criminal Rules Hall, properly dealt with the people in the sect who had recently violated the door rules, and agreed on the method of punishment.
The Taishan faction is divided into many halls, each of which is in charge of one aspect of the power, the Rejuvenation Hall is responsible for alchemy and healing, and the Criminal Rule Hall is responsible for the criminal law of the faction. In addition to these two halls, there are also mighty halls, forging halls, abacus halls, ceremonial halls, delicacies halls, personnel halls, scripture halls, civil engineering halls, etc., each hall manages a stall of affairs.
The Taishan faction has the greatest power as the head of the house, followed by the head of the faction, and then the hall master and deputy hall master. However, there is also a special group of elders in the sect, and this group of people is often a person with a high level of cultivation in the sect but has no intention of taking on a position, such as the famous Taishan Three Musketeers, all of whom are elders and have no position. The elders do not hold real power, but the weight of their words is very heavy, and if those elders with high moral standing speak up, even the head of the faction will have to obey their words.
In addition to a large number of disciples, the people with the smallest real power and the smallest prestige in the faction belong to Zhao Zheng's group of Keqing elders, who belong to the marginal group, and they are just attached to the Taishan faction to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
After Le didn't know how to deal with the trivial matters, he took out the credit book he was carrying, turned out Zhao Zheng's page, and added a few strokes to it, first wrote the words of second-class merit, and then wrote the specific content of the credit in detail in the back. The Taishan faction divides the merit into four grades: A, B, C, D, with the highest first-class merit and the smallest first-class merit.
For example, the credit of Ding is generally a trivial achievement, such as extinguishing a fire, collecting gold, helping the elderly to cross the road, and so on. The third-class and second-class merits are some greater merits, and the two merits that Zhao Zheng made before are all third-class merits, which are a little greater than the lowest merits. As for the highest first-class merit, it is incredible, only by turning the tide and saving the sect from fire and water can it be regarded as first-class merit, from the introduction of the rule of merit division to the present, the person who has won this honor will never be counted by five fingers!
It is only those who have made first-class merits to get the reward of saliva white jade fruit.
After Le didn't know how to finish writing, he held the pen in his hand, showing a thoughtful look, and said secretly in his heart: "The three prescriptions offered by Zhao Zheng are all priceless, but the conditions he put forward are very simple. No, I have to take something tangible as compensation, only in this way can I show the respect of the Taishan faction, and it can also play a role in winning people's hearts. Zhao Zheng, a junior with extremely high talent, has a divine blade such as Zichu Sword in his hand, and his future is limitless, so he must stay in the Taishan faction and use it for us. ”
Le Bu made up his mind, thought about it for a while, and came up with a very good treasure, thinking that this thing would be very useful to Zhao Zheng and could please Zhao Zheng. He immediately went to the sect's treasure house, passed through layers of blockades, and took out the treasure from it.
He took the treasure to find his beloved apprentice, and the two went to Leng Xiangju together, intending to talk to Zhao Zheng in detail about the prescription and learning art. (To be continued.) )
