Chapter 66: Du Shaoxiong
Tianyu didn't plan to let this woman know too much, now that she had a general understanding of this Dusk Cloud City, she slowly inquired about the next things, and said, "I'm just asking casually." ”
......
Tianyu followed the woman all the way to a large mansion, the location of the house is much more secluded than the place that just entered the city, a few pedestrians on the road are sparse, and the people who set up stalls to sell are even rarer, only at the fork in the road will there be one or two stalls selling tea.
Tianyu looked up at the house, the house is made of green bricks, the wall is about three meters high, a pair of wild lions stone carvings at the door, a plaque is engraved on the door, and the three big characters of Almond Hall are written on it, Tianyu knows that he is probably going to live and do things in this place next.
The woman walked to the door, and turned back to Tianyu and said: "This is the Almond Hall, now it is managed by the eldest young master, I will take you to find a place to live now, and I will take you to see the eldest young master after you have a good wash." ”
Tianyu nodded and followed towards the door, and when he was close to the door, he could already smell the smell of medicine.
The woman did not enter through the gate, but came to a small door on the side of the gate, the small door was not closed, the woman stepped in directly, and turned back and said: "We must go through this gate in and out in the future, the gate is reserved for the lord's family and guests, we cannot enter and exit through the gate, you must remember." ”
Tianyu replied: "I know." ”
I was a little disgusted with this kind of hierarchy in my heart, but I didn't plan to stay for a long time when I came here this time, and I always had to find a sect to continue cultivating after settling down first.
Tianyu followed the woman into the almond hall, there were many people in it who were busy, and when they saw the women coming in, they respectfully greeted the women and called them sisters-in-law, it seems that the status of this woman is quite high among the people who are doing things here, the woman just nodded slightly and took Tianyu all the way to find a small room.
The woman stretched out her hand and pushed the door open, there was nothing else in it except a wooden bed, a musty smell came from inside, it seemed that no one had come in for a long time, the woman pointed to the bed inside and said: "You will live here in the future, you put down the burden first, I will go and find you a dress so that you can take a bath, I dare not take you to see the eldest young master like this." ”
Tianyu scooped water from the wooden bucket with a wooden scoop and poured it on his body, the water slipped off his skin, Tianyu rubbed it vigorously with his left hand, this is a big bathhouse, at this time there is only one person in Tianyu, and everyone else is still working hard.
Tianyu looked at his fair and firm skin, and was quite satisfied, although the body still felt a little thin, but the muscles where there should be flesh were clearly lined, and he looked very energetic and healthy, compared to the appearance when he first came to this world, he looked much more mature and stronger.
Tianyu washed his body and picked up the clothes prepared for him by his sister-in-law and put them on, the clothes were specially worn by the subordinates, although they were coarse cloth clothes, but fortunately, they were refreshing, and the bottom was a pair of loose black pants, and a white short dress on the upper body.
After Tianyu got dressed, he straightened out his hair and found a rope to tie it up at the back, the two sword eyebrows shrugged, the essence of the phoenix's eyes flickered, and the temperament of the whole person changed completely at once, which was extremely incongruous with the dress.
Tianyu pushed open the door, nodded to the sister-in-law who was waiting outside the door and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm done." ”
Sister-in-law turned her head to look at Tianyu, only to feel that her eyes lit up, a fair and clean face came into her eyes, with clear lines, clear and resolute eyes, where does this look like a subordinate should be, but her heart is happy, I didn't expect to find a random flower on the street to be so outstanding, and smiled happily: "I didn't expect you to have a good skin, hehe...... That's fine, the eldest young master will definitely like it, you come with me. ”
After speaking, Sister-in-law Fa walked now, her steps were much brisker.
Tianyu followed closely behind, followed his sister-in-law all the way to the backyard, the backyard decoration is relatively elegant, and some flowers and plants are planted under the corners.
When she came to the door of a house, her sister-in-law stopped, knocked lightly on the door a few times, and then asked in a low voice: "The eldest young master, the slave woman has brought a new recruit to meet the eldest young master." ”
A gentle voice came from inside the room and said, "Come in." ”
It seems that the eldest young master is a middle-aged man, Tianyu pondered.
Sister-in-law pushed open the door and walked in, then stood by the door and beckoned Tianyu behind her to come in, and when Tianyu went in, she closed the door and walked towards the middle-aged man in the middle of the house.
Tianyu followed beside Sister-in-law and looked up at the eldest young master in Sister-in-law's mouth.
The eldest young master was standing on a large square table practicing calligraphy, his face was a little pale, lacking blood, and there was a trace of haggard between his eyebrows, he was in his thirties, and he looked very calm.
The eldest young master also saw Tianyu, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, Tianyu's age is very young, but there is no cowardice in Tianyu's eyes, even if he faces himself, he does not have a trace of humility, is such a person really here to work?
The eldest young master gently put the pen in his hand on the pen holder and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is ......"
Tianyu remembered that he was very likely to be wanted by the Ten Thousand Law Hall and Tongtian Sect now, but he was afraid that even this Dusk Cloud City had people from these two major sects, so he might as well make up a name, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "My name is Song Tian." ”
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the eldest young master, just because Tianyu hesitated when he reported his name just now.
Sister-in-law hurriedly interjected: "Young Master, Song Tian was found by me at the city gate, and I saw that he was dressed in tatters and should want to find a job, so I brought him back without permission." ”
The eldest young master's eyes softened again after listening to his sister-in-law's words, a young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, even if he had any purpose, could he still hide himself, maybe he was just a suffering person, Almond Hall has always been good with people, I don't think anyone will deliberately calculate himself, and he chuckled and said: "Song Tian, this name is a little strange, where are you from?"
Tianyu also felt a series of changes just now in the eldest young master, and replied: "I am originally from Ziyang County, and I came here this time after going out for training, so I came to your mansion to ask for a living." ”
This time, the eldest young master's eyes directly changed from looking down to looking at level, and there was a sudden feeling in his heart, it seemed that this young man was actually a monk.
It's just that the monk would come to his house to work, but this is also a strange thing, and it is not difficult for the monk to find a decent job, and asked, "So, you are a monk?"
Tianyu: "There is indeed practice below, but the cultivation is still shallow. ”
Seeing that the other party's words were frank, the eldest young master no longer doubted it, raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Haha...... The matter of cultivation is not in a hurry, even I, I still haven't been able to gather spirits, since I am a monk, then working in the house is really wronged, so let's do it, you will follow me in the future, I will treat you as a guest, you can assist me in refining medicine, what do you think?"
Tianyu hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Then thank you to the eldest young master." ”
The eldest young master waved his hand and said: "Since they are all monks, there is no need to call me eldest young master, my name is Du Shaoxiong, and the brothers can be commensurate." ”
Tianyu is not hypocritical, and he also has a good impression of this young master, whether it is his face or his speech, he does not look like an evil person, and responds: "Brother Du." ”
Du Shaoxiong turned his head to look at his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, you go and get busy first, Song Tian stays, and he will follow me to refine medicine in the future, you don't need to worry about other things." ”
Sister-in-law took two steps back, answered "yes" and went out, leaving only Tianyu and Du Shaoxiong in the house.
After Du Shaoxiong beckoned Tianyu to sit down, he said slowly: " I think you should hide something, but those don't matter, who doesn't have a little secret, I just hope that since you are working in my Almond Hall, you have to abide by the rules of the Almond Hall, since my father founded the Almond Hall, he has refined elixirs for countless monks, and gradually has the current name, and now my father has handed over the Almond Hall to me, of course I hope that the Almond Hall can get better and better, and provide convenience for more people, but good alchemists are extremely hard to find, and now the alchemists in the Almond Hall are the only ones left except for Fang Lao, and I can also refine some medicines for the cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Realm, you will follow me in the future and assist me in refining medicines, you think it's good?”
Tianyu's heart began to move after knowing that there was a shortage of alchemists here, and he didn't know when he would be able to refine an elixir like the Qingling Pill, which was a life-saving magic weapon.
Thinking of Qing Lingdan, I unconsciously remembered the girl named Chu Xue, a girl who looked like Xia Xue, I don't know if she still remembered herself, she gave herself such an important thing when she met for the first time, and a piece of purple dragon jade pendant in her arms, it didn't seem to be an ordinary thing.
Tianxing City, I have to go sooner or later, but now my strength is really low, after all, the strength shown by the man who followed Chu Xue that day, even now I don't have the slightest certainty, and people like that don't know how many there are in Tianxing City, and now it is more reliable to work hard to improve the strength, and it would be better to improve the level of refining medicine in this process, so he said: "Brother Du, I once learned to refine medicine, and the general elixir can already be refined alone, I don't know if I can help." ”
Du Shaoxiong's eyes lit up, his suspicious gaze looked directly at Tianyu, and finally raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Have you studied alchemy?" haha...... That's great, that's the case, why don't we go to the alchemy pharmacy now, and you can also familiarize yourself with the environment by the way. ”
Tianyu got up and said, "I can't ask for it." ”
Du Shaoxiong also got up, and was about to take Tianyu to the alchemy pharmacy, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door, Du Shaoxiong had to stop, frowning and looking at the location of the door, thinking about what had happened.
Not long after, the footsteps stopped at the door, and there was a knock on the door, and an old man's voice came from outside the door: "Shaodong, is Shaodong's family here?" ”
