Chapter 152: Mr. Pounding Medicine

Eventually, the Moon Tower was sealed, and Nineteen was taken to the county jail.

The second son took care of Ye Fu and waited for her to wake up and explain everything that happened.

"Nineteen was implicated in a murder?"

"Hmm."

Ye Fu got up and patted his whole body, there was no abnormality, looking at the second son who was not in a hurry, he couldn't help but wonder: "Don't you want to save them?" ”

"No, it's too late for him to be happy when he goes to prison, it is estimated that he will enjoy prison life in Meimei. Moreover, with their ability, in less than two days, the county guard Shizheng Yu will release them. ”

"Oh, then the purpose of his visit this time is to save people?"

The second son nodded.

"Not only that, he also wants to completely eliminate the Moon Sect, but unfortunately he is not capable enough."

"Oh?"

"The Mochizuki Sect is originally black and white, some people specialize in witchcraft, some people specialize in Gu arts, and more than ten years ago, Gu art has always been the main content of the Mochizuki Sect. Women also have a high status in the church. ”

"Mochizuki Priestess."

"Yes. The Gu art sect represented by the Moon Goddess, that is, the sect leader, is also known as the White Witch, specializing in cultivating Gu seed Gu to cure diseases and save people. Unfortunately, this kind of evil spell is easy for traitors to use and kill innocent people for fame and fortune. ”

"And the moon sage is a black witch who has only emerged in the past ten years, with medicine and astrology as his main business, to compete with the white witch."

Ye Fu boldly guessed: "In the end, Baiwu was defeated." ”

"No, it's all defeated. We have all forgotten one thing, whether it is a white witch or a black witch, the core of which is always the Mochizuki Cult, and the goddess is the only one who can represent the pure soul of its teachings. An incident more than ten years ago caused internal strife in the Mochizuki Sect, lost the hearts of the people in the county, and was reviled a lot. ”

"The goddess has lost her virginity." Ye Fu suddenly thought of the words he heard in the medicine temple, "The woman locked in the dark room of the rockery is the goddess." ”

"Yes. It is not that a goddess cannot bear children, on the contrary, her own daughter must be born to succeed the next generation of leaders. However, once the goddess gave birth to a baby boy, she would be considered to be insincere and unchaste, and she would be accused by the congregation and believers. ”

"It's ridiculous!" Of course, Ye Fu knew that the birth of boys and girls could not be controlled by people, but he didn't expect that there was such a dogma that violated human ethics in the Moon Sect!

The second son glanced up at Ye Fu and continued: "The goddess gave birth to a baby boy, which has never been done in the past. There may have been, but it was just a matter of hiding from the world and changing the pillars. ”

"And after that?"

"Originally, the priest and the elders planned to execute the child, and they had no intention of embarrassing the goddess to death, but the goddess insisted on herself, uncompromising, and fled with the child in her arms on the day when everyone was about to be burned at the stake, chased all the way to the edge of the cliff, and jumped down."

"She's not dead."

"From now on, we know that the goddess is not dead, not even with the child.

Because, she met a person, and she was the only outsider in Mochizuki-gun for decades. You're the second one. ”

"Hehe, I almost forgot, no outsiders are allowed to come in the city."

"It's a kind of self-preservation. For hundreds of years, the people in this area have made a living by mining and making salt, and neighboring countries have taken a fancy to it and come in and plunder it, bringing unprovoked killings. Yu pacified the war, and reluctantly restored calm after setting up a county here, so far, the people have avoided outsiders like snakes and scorpions. And that person, who was new to the village, was also driven out by the villagers several times, and finally settled in a small cabin at the foot of the mountain of the Pounding Medicine Temple. ”

"Medicine Village?"

"Hmm. Pounding medicine village. ”

Ye Fu came from the village of pounding medicine, and heard a lot of legends along the way.

The man taught the villagers to cultivate and weave, and improved farming tools and techniques so that the barren land could support the family of three or two.

The second son smiled: "Speaking of which, that medicine maker doesn't know anything about medicine. ”

"Oh? Are you familiar with each other? ”

"Of course. He was our brother's teacher. ”

"That's right." Ye Fu didn't seem to be interested in the moon sage, and asked about the whereabouts of the goddess, "Later, what happened to the goddess?" ”

"After living in the medicine village for a year, I fell in love with Mr. Pounding Medicine, and the two got married, and soon after they got married, the Mochizuki Sect found the goddess back because there was no suitable heir, and respected her as the leader."

"Can a goddess who has been burned by fire and driven away still have prestige?"

"Naturally, there is none, but Mr. Pounding Medicine has. He helped the priestess reorganize the Mochizuki sect and set up a private school in the county, taking in nineteen students. ”

"Is that you?"

"Hmm." The second son smiled faintly and nodded.

Pacing to the middle of the courtyard: "Sir is really a very gentle man, who seems to be able to do anything. From his words and deeds, you can feel the breadth and vastness of his heart. Such a person will not be a thing in the pool after all. ”

"There is a white witch in the Mochizuki Sect who disagrees with Mr. was driven out of Mochizuki-gun by Mr., and after he returned, he caused a disaster. Almost all the people in the county have been planted with Gu poison and have been controlled, and Mr. is no exception, he has been planted with love Gu. ”

"The gentleman who was in love with Gu was not abnormal at first, but the more he got to the back, the more obedient the gentleman's temperament became, and at that time, there were people in Yancheng who were good at making incense who were invited by the White Witch and they took the goddess and her son hostage, and forced Mr. to hand over the power of the Mochizuki Sect and commit suicide."

Twenty years ago, Mr. Pounding Medicine crossed the mountains and mountains from Shuguo to Mochizuki County, and rescued the unconscious goddess Gengyi on the way.

When the two arrived at the medicine village, they heard the bell on the top of the mountain.

"There is a temple on the mountain, I will send you up, the monks are merciful, and they will definitely let you stay for a while."

"No, I can't see him! I don't want to see him again! ”

Geng Yi refused to tug on Mr. Pounding Pill's sleeve.

"Yes...... I still have to hurry, and I can't take you with me. ”

"I can, I can follow my benefactor wherever he goes!"

Although the woman agreed, Mr. Pounding Medicine did not move forward, found the village chief in the village below the mountain, and exchanged the only money on his body for a wooden house.

"The village chief asked me to take care of the cattle and sheep here, so that we could stay here as a reward. I'll leave when you're better. ”

"You ......"

As if seeing the woman's concerns, Mr. Pounding Medicine smiled: "I don't have a place I want to go, it's the same everywhere." ”

"Okay."

Gengyi cleaned the room and laid out straw and thin sheets.

"I can only grieve my benefactor to live in a house with an unknown person like me."

He looked up at the woman, her calm and indifferent face was expressionless, and she took a few planks from outside and spread them on the ground, which was a simple bed again.

"No one is born precious, and no one is born unknown. Look up to the sky, bow down to others, and do your best is the most important thing. ”

After pounding the medicine lightly, he went out.

After talking to the village chief, he looked at the heavily guarded Xuncheng in front of him: "It seems that you really can't force your way in." ”

I was thinking of sending Gengyi back, but it seems that it won't work.

"Is the young man looking for someone?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a lonely wanderer, I want to walk around, since I can't get into the city, then I won't force anything."

"Will the gentleman leave the Medicine Village?"

"Hmm. It's always going to go, and I still have a lot of questions that I haven't figured out. ”

Pounding medicine, he asked the village chief for some rice and grain, and handed it to Gengyi: "Do you know how to cook?" ”

"I ......" Geng Yi was hesitant, for fear that he would be disliked by his benefactor if he said it.

"I can learn!"

"Well, then watch me do it for the next two days."

Pounding medicine will make two stir-fried vegetables and clear soup, the two of them eat simply, and the days are okay.

"Benefactor, my name is Gengyi."

"Hmm." Mr. Potter had eaten and was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Benefactor, Gengyi wants to serve you for the rest of my life."

Mr. Pounding Medicine's hand stopped, his expression was slightly stunned, and after a while, he resumed his gentle smile and said softly: "Then you will be responsible for washing the dishes tonight, and I will go out for a walk to eliminate food." ”

Geng Yi was a little anxious, for fear of being abandoned, he confided in his past and present lives, and told his identity thoroughly.

"Gengyi is the goddess of the Mochizuki Sect, she grew up in the Mochizuki Sect since she was a child, and she is restrained in everything she says and does, and she doesn't know the world outside. When I met that person, I thought that he could take me to appreciate the beauty of love and give me happiness in my life. Unfortunately, under the pressure of the priests and elders, he abandoned our mother and son...... All the crimes are deep in my soul, I was judged by them to be an ominous and unchaste person, Geng Yi also despaired, thinking about dying, but when I jumped off the cliff and was rescued by my benefactor, I realized that death is actually very simple, and the difficult thing is to live. When everyone thinks you shouldn't be alive anymore, you're still doing well. Geng Yi experienced in his benefactor what the wind is, what the clouds are, and what the years are......"

After listening quietly, Mr. Pounding Medicine reached out and handed a handkerchief to Gengyi, and went out of the door.

The night is slightly cool, and the sky is clear. The wind and rain are frolicking and brewing in the sky, and people and feelings are intertwined on the earth.

Cattle and sheep occasionally snore, and cicadas and eagles lingered.

He sat on the flat ground in the mountains for a long time, feeling the world and smiling.

He didn't have it in his heart, and naturally he didn't want to mess with Qingqing.

When Mr. Pounding Medicine returned, Gengyi had already fallen asleep.

The next day, he prepared dry food, pounded medicine and explained to Gengyi after breakfast: "I heard the village chief say that the grass in the middle of the mountain is lush and green, and it is best to drive the sheep up." It's about two or three months to go back and forth, and you have to take care of yourself. ”

"Benefactor...... Are you struggling? Feeling embarrassed to get along with Gengyi? ”

"It's not. I just want to repay the village chief, and besides, there is an experienced shepherd who wants to take me. ”

"Take care, that benefactor."

He smiled and set off with a bamboo cane.

There is no experienced shepherd, only a shepherd puppy who has just turned old.

The medicine brought the sheep to the middle of the mountain, where there was a thatched hut built by the village chief for the shepherds.

In late spring, when the rainy season is over, the grass grows more and more abundant, and it is a good time to graze the sheep.

During the day, Mr. Potter writes and draws in the house, and at night he goes to count the sheep brought back by the sheepdogs.

After spending a summer peacefully in the mountains, the sheep were also raised fat and strong.

Soon it was time for the summer and autumn thunderstorms, and the sheep were so frightened that they fled in all directions, and in the middle of the night there were still two of them that did not come back.

I heard that there are blind bears on this mountain, and they need to find the sheep for medicine.

It was raining and the road was slippery, and while looking for the medicine, he fell into a cave and rolled down and fell unconscious.

When I woke up, I felt that my face was sticky and greasy, and it was a sheep licking with its prickly tongue.

Mr. Potluck smiled weakly and reached out to stroke the sheep's head.

When I got up, I was shocked to feel a sharp pain in my feet.

The cave was a slope, and the medicine was wrapped around the vines, and he limped and brought the sheep up.

On the way back to the thatched hut, he found a clear car wheel mark on the ground, winding towards the mountain.

There were white particles on the road, which were crushed by the pounding medicine and stretched out into the mouth.

Salty, is salt.

Look at the rut marks on the wheels of the car, and the rain only washed away last night.

The salt had just fallen and was sprinkled along the road.

After returning to the thatched hut, he pounded the medicine and settled the sheep, and then ran to the roadside where the salt was found and squatted to observe.

At dusk, sure enough, there was a group of people and horses carrying boxes slowly over, and slowly moved away.

Looking at the dress of those people, it should be from Mochizuki-gun.

Pounding medicine took the matter to heart, and returned to the village with the sheep.

The leg injury did not heal, and after walking around for two days, the injury became more serious, and he was bedridden in the house.

The village chief was kind enough to invite Mr. Lang Zhong for the medicine.

Gengyi boiled medicine day and night.

One day, he was woken up by the medicine and heard someone arguing outside.

Listen closely, it is Geng Yi and a man's voice.

"Gengyi, forgive me. If I hadn't left at that time, the elders would have executed your mother and son immediately! ”

"I don't blame you."

"So, are you willing to be with me again?"

"Nope."

"Gengyi!" The man seemed to be excited to grab Gengyi, "I can't forget you, I can't live without you!" ”

"Guo Ya, we can't go back." Geng Yi withdrew his hand, "I'm not that ignorant little girl anymore. ”

"But I still like you very much!"

"So what?"

"I ...... I'll come back and I won't give up on you! ”

This was followed by the sound of people running away.

After listening calmly, he took a deep breath and fell asleep again.

For a few days in a row, several monks came down the mountain and dragged Gengyi, as if they wanted to take her somewhere.

If it weren't for the village chief, I'm afraid they would have succeeded long ago.

The leg of the medicine was so sharp, and he waited at the mountain pass with a wooden stick thick with a fist, and saw a few young monks coming down the mountain with ropes in their hands.

Mr. Potter smiled, picked up his stick and greeted them.

"You, who are you! Why hit us? The monks shouted and asked.

"Gengyi lives with me, what do you say?"

"You guys!"

"Hehe, what's the matter for that man to come down to me."

Enough of the lesson, he threw the stick in his hand and walked back to the house with his body shaken.

Geng Yi looked out timidly, saw the medicine pounding clothes slightly, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with the benefactor?" ”

"Nothing."

Geng Yi lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to continue asking, for fear of annoying the man.

"Gengyi, with me, you don't need to swallow your anger. In the same way, you don't have to be too polite with me, I should be a good talker. ”

Geng Yi covered his sleeves and smiled.
