Chapter 158: Admitting defeat
Chapter 158: Admitting defeat
"Master Dong..." A faint coldness flashed in Gu Banniang's eyes, "I don't know what the color head is?" β
"Gu Niangzi just spoke." Master Dong said slowly.
Liu Qian was suddenly interrupted, and he was very angry, and he was about to step forward to question, but was stopped by someone who stretched out his hand.
"Shhhh The man shook his head at him, "This is Master Dong... β
Master Dong? Liu Qian was stunned, although he was from Jianning Mansion, he also knew a little about the name of Master Dong in the north, and I heard that it was because of Liu Gong that he had to disappear.
But the grievances between them are far less important to Liu Qian than their own shame, and they still have to talk when they get rid of that person.
"Your master's cheats." Gu Bainiang raised her voice fiercely, looked at him coldly and said.
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Liu Qian also stopped.
This Gu Niangzi's mouth is too big and too ruthless
No one knew that she would say this, but Master Dong knew it very clearly, and he grinned slowly.
"Okay... He looked at the little girl in front of him, "Okay... Good"
The tone of these three good words went from light to heavy, and with the last good word, he nodded heavily, "Deal"
The already lively crowd of high-level novices and experienced apprentices was even more boiling.
In the pharmaceutical industry, skill has a lot to do with experience, so the older the pharmacist, the better the skill, this is an indisputable fact, if it is Master Dong's challenge object to change to someone else, he may be looked down upon, thinking that he is bullying young juniors with his age, but the other party is Gu Ba Niang, then there is no such problem.
"It's really not easy..."Xin Chaoyang looked at the two people fighting against each other in the crowd, and in the daylight, the girl's shadow became even thinner.
You can only win, you can't lose, and there is no reason for that.
"It's not just a two-man showdown..... A pharmacist excitedly explained to the surrounding audience, "Gu Niangzi's master is Liu Gong, and Master Dong's master is an ancient ......."
These two people are familiar to those around them.
"After all these years without Liu Gong, Gu seems to be already the boss of the pharmaceutical world......" Speaking of this, several pharmacists lowered their voices and glanced at Gu Lingyun, who was sitting on the stage with an indifferent expression, "But... He has always been pressed by Liu Gong......."
"After all, he is much younger than Liu Gong, and in the future... Holidays are unpredictable over time..... "Someone said obscurely.
Even a miracle doctor can't escape death, not to mention a pharmacist, Liu Gong's age is there, he must take a step ahead of Gu Lingyun, in this way, if Gu Lingyun is given more than ten years, it is possible that his reputation in the future can surpass Liu Gong.
"I don't know..."Someone squinted and smiled and said lightly, looking at Gu Bainiang, ".. To talk about time... Gu Niangzi is only afraid of more ....."
Liu Gong hasn't gone yet, and the apprentice has grown into a .......
Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Lingyun at the same time, and it was not regret or schadenfreude.
"Therefore, whoever wins and loses between Gu Niangzi and Master Dong will represent which master is more powerful...."The pharmacist in the audience excitedly came to a conclusion.
"Eighteen Niang, give that old guy a little color and see" Peng Yizhen laughed loudly with a fist.
This was really rude and unkind to say, and the people around him rolled their eyes.
Gu Bainiang turned around, smiled at Peng Yizhen Lingbao Ah Si and the others who were standing over there, and waved her hand.
"Gu Niangzi, please." Master Dong said lightly.
"Master Dong, please." Gu Banniang smiled humbly.
Master Dong glanced at her and walked away, he raised his head, and a trace of fire flashed in his eyes.
I can finally wash away the shame of the past......
"Gu Niangzi, you haven't asked me if you lose, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"
The two stood still in front of the stage, waiting for the pharmacists of the second batch of duels to choose their opponents, but Master Dong did not take care of Eighteen Niang and spoke.
"No, I don't." Gu Banniang smiled faintly, her eyes fell on the pennant fluttering in the wind on the stage, "Because, you don't have that chance." β
Old Man Dong sneered, he turned his head, Gu Bainiang also looked over, looked at each other, and no one hid the coldness in their eyes.
For Gu Banniang, she once guessed that she would meet many opponents, many challenges, and also made predictions that she might lose, but she didn't expect to meet Master Dong, for a person who once coveted her master's cheats and laid down Jiankang's dark situation that was enough to destroy herself, Gu Baniang had no reason to have a good impression of her, not to mention, Master Dong was only afraid of hating her even more.
Originally, she had no grudge against Master Dong, but this person who did not have the slightest intersection actually guessed the inside story of his sudden success in pharmaceutical skills, which shows that he was thoughtful, if he came to the door to ask for a change, although his behavior was not very pleasant, but at least it was above board.
But I didn't expect him to secretly lay out and force himself to fall into a situation where there is no way back, so as to coerce, it can be seen that this person is not good-natured, and a person with such a heart, in the face of the evil consequences brought about by the failure of the conspiracy, will never think that it is his own fault, but will only become more jealous of the other party.
Therefore, this time you can defeat anyone, but you must not lose against Master Dong.
Such a person must defeat him completely, otherwise once he is given a chance, he will grow like a vine.
"Good." While staring at him, Master Dong said in a deep voice, "It's really terrifying, but if you lose, you have to give me a secret skill." β
"Okay." Gu Bainiang smiled, turned her head and stopped talking.
The two of them had a brief conversation, and the people around them naturally heard it, and it quickly spread.
"Gu Niangzi said this too much, right..."
"Big? This is Liu Gong's momentum."
There was a discussion in the field, but no one felt how arrogant Gu Niangzi's behavior was, but they applauded one after another, this is called domineering, this is the domineering of Liu Gong, the head of the pharmacists in the world, this is domineering from strength, of course, it can't be like this if you change to someone else, for example, if you let Liu Qian say this, first, he will definitely be killed and will not say, and second, if he says it, he will definitely be booed and ridiculed by everyone.
Xin Chaoling also followed the crowd to cheer and whistle, while Xin Chaoyang on the side sighed.
"If you can't do it, you have to do it....." He whispered, "It's not easy.....
Naturally, the pharmacists on the stage also heard it, and a smile with different meanings appeared on their faces.
"What do you think?" A pharmacist asked Kang Lao.
Looking at the two people facing each other in the field, Kang Lao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and twisted his beard, "It's hard to say." β
This evaluation made all the pharmacists stunned, it's hard to say? This clearly means that Gu Niangzi's chances of winning are not low.
Although this Gu Niangzi showed her strength in the first two games, which proves that she is not in vain, but after all, she is too young, compared with Master Dong, who has been famous for many years and is also known as a teacher, is the outcome still suspenseful?
Gu Lingyun's eyes kept falling on the field, with a peaceful smile on his face, the winner of the fighting medicine had already selected each other's opponents again at this time, and stood up separately, and in view of the fact that the fighting medicine was too simple, it attracted many people to join in, and the atmosphere on the scene was boiling.
This time, President Qi stepped forward and pulled out the second medicine stick.
"Refining the Lower Dan," he said aloud with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the ten pharmacists on the stage breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a decent fighting medicine.
Gu Bainiang also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she had already boiled the black plaster, and this oil refining was taught by Liu Gong himself at that time, but she immediately frowned, is this a fighting medicine? It's not as difficult as the legend says.
Among the more than a dozen pharmacists who fought medicine, they were still very happy when they heard the name of this medicine, although it was a little more troublesome to grab the smoke and spray the cigarette just now, but compared to the seven incense pills in the past, this oil refining is still very simple, it seems that this time the fighting medicine is really too right.
Because of the long time and the fire and smoke this time, the competition venue has returned to the apse of the first two games.
"How's that... Peng squeezed over and asked, "No problem, right?" There are many words without mistakes, I heard that this plaster is successful or not, the key lies in refining the oil under the Dan... β
Gu Bainiang took a bite of the hot tea handed by Lingbao and nodded.
While talking first, this side was ready, and everyone was busy entering and choosing a place at random.
It is still a simple wooden shed, which is more simply furnished, scattered with some commonly used medicinal herbs, and only a pot and a basin of oil.
Gu Bainiang's brows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but smile a little, it turned out that there was still a mechanism here, but I was afraid that someone would be frightenedγγγγγ
There were already people around who started to light a fire, Gu Bainiang looked up to the side, and Master Dong also lit the fire, raised his head, and glanced at her.
Let's go.... Their eyes said.
Seeing that the heat was almost the same, Gu Bainiang took out the yellow pill from the medicinal materials, put it in the pot, stir-fried it for a moment, washed the pot and put it on the fire again.
Oil refining is actually very simple, but it takes a lot of work, Gu Banniang picked up the fresh willow stick on the side and slowly began to stir.
Time passed slowly, and looking at the almost identical single action of stirring the oil pan in the field, the excitement of the people around the audience gradually faded, and some even yawned.
"That's it?" Xin Chaoling yawned, changed his posture on the recliner, and commanded the pretty maid behind him to pinch her shoulders and rub her neck.
Because of the oil refining, the smoke in the field became louder and louder, and the smell was not very pleasant, so some people began to leave.
At this moment, only a bang was heard, and the fire was everywhere.
"Hah, it's blown up," someone screamed.
At this moment, the drowsy people all got up and looked into the field, and at the same time, several thuds rang out, accompanied by exclamations.
Gu Bainiang changed her hand, then stirred the oil pot, and looked up at a grizzled pharmacist beside her.
"Damn, I only said that the oil refining is under the Dan, how can I not fry the Dan provided by itγγγγγ" He cursed and cursed, flicked his charred sleeves and quickened his pace to leave the scene amid the whistle and ridicule of onlookers.
The pharmacists sitting in front of the side hall showed a smile, don't underestimate the big medicine club, simple? Could it be that a simple fight of medicine can win for everyone? Is there such a delicious and easy fruit in the world?
Gu Banniang retracted her mind, her eyes were a little swollen because of the smoke and oil, but she didn't dare to be distracted, the heat was almost over, she shook her head, and while adjusting the civil and military fire, she raised the smoke of the oil and cannons.
It had been smoked by the fire for nearly an hour, and Gu Bainiang only felt sweating all over, and the sweat on her forehead was getting more and more.
How can it be so hotγγγγγ She gasped for breath twice, and couldn't help but reach out and press her chest, a faint feeling of suffocation, and she couldn't help coughing.
The voice was slight, but it clearly came into the ears of Master Dong next door, and his brows couldn't help jumping, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look over.
When he saw it, the girl had noticed it, and immediately gave him a threatening look.
The smile on the corner of Master Dong's mouth slowly spread.
If you lose to anyone, you won't lose to you, Gu Bainiang snorted in her heart, looked away and concentrated, and gently lifted the oil with her hand, while watching the oil smoke turn from black to thickγγγγγ
It's coming, it's coming... She muttered in her heart, recalling Liu Gong's every move and word, and slowly moved her eyes to the side of the Huang Dan that had cooled, and suddenly a bright light flashed, and her hand stopped moving suddenly.
Master Dong, who had been paying attention to this side, naturally noticed her strangeness, his brows couldn't help jumping, and when he looked over again, he saw Gu Baniang slowly moving again, as if Fang Cai's pause was just his illusion.
And at this moment, standing not far from the crowd, a figure with a rickety figure, holding a teapot and a teacup, and the old courtyard of the house who didn't know who raised his head sharply.
"I see... He let out a hoarse whisper, and the teacup and teapot in his hand were thrown down with a crisp sound.
The sound caused people to look back, and when they saw an old beggar rushing over like a fly without a head, they immediately avoided it in disgust.
The smoke was clear, and the onlookers could no longer see the movements of the people in the field.
"Why isn't it over yet?" Xin Chaoling covered his mouth and nose with his hands and said impatiently.
As soon as his words fell, he heard another bang in the field, and everyone was startled, and even the old courtyard that rushed in stopped their feet, and everyone looked into the field.
"Hah, what a bad bastard... Xin Chaoling immediately came to his senses, patting his legs and laughing, looking at the field on tiptoe, waiting for the unlucky guy who fried the oil pot to appear.
In the midst of the smoke, a figure slowly walked out, and after seeing this person clearly, the surroundings were strangely quiet.
"Oh, bad luck γγγγγγ" Xin Chaoling's whistle swirled in mid-air, and his eyes widened and his mouth opened in disbelief.
βοΌβ The pharmacists sitting in the side hall stood up a little out of shape, their faces stunned.
And Gu Lingyun took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to see what was going on.
"How can I take care of my mother... They murmured.
Kang Lao was unspeakably disappointed on his face, he shook his head gently, originally thought that if Gu Bainiang would lose, it would also be lost in the heat of oil refining, the experience of boiling plasters is very important, and if you can't pass this hurdle, you can't boil a good plaster, especially the requirement of dripping water into beads in oil refining, words and words can't explain it, and it is closely related to the weather and season, even the most powerful person who boils plasters doesn't dare to say that he is a hundred percent of it.
If you lose in this, it's not too embarrassing, I didn't expect this Gu Niangzi, who performed so well in the first two games, to lose in the simplest, most basic and most unmistakable step.
Did you not fry the Dan or did you use an iron spoon to touch the bottom of the pot and cause the oil to catch fire?
The smoke dissipated, and the embarrassed Gu Bainiang clearly appeared in front of everyone, her fryer this time was more serious than the previous one, her clothes were stained with oil spots, and the hot oil burned her clothes out of holes one by one.
She seemed to be unaware of the strange stares around her, but turned her head to look at Master Dong next to her wooden shed.
The opponent failed, but the look on Master Dong's face was like a ghost, surprised, shocked and disbelieving, but there was no joy at all.
"You... His hand stopped stirring, and he looked at Gu Bainiang who was standing outside his wooden shed, and let out a low cry with a dry mouth, how could he lose? How can you lose ...
"I lost." Gu Bainiang looked at him and said, her voice was hoarse, and her always indifferent expression became a little hideous, as if she couldn't bear this kind of failure.
There was a sudden emanation of a cold and murderous aura from her body, which made the whistles and boos that were about to be raised around her suddenly stopped.
"I lost" she said again, her voice squeezed out from between her teeth, she raised her foot, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and approached Master Dong step by step.
"What's wrong with Eighteen Niang?" Xin Chaoling finally realized that something was wrong, and sighed, "You can't afford to lose so much, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Xin Chaoyang was also a little puzzled on his face, but one thing was certain, he had never seen Gu Bainiang's emotions exposed, just thought he had lost? He looked solemn and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
"If you lose, you lose... After a momentary gaffe, Master Dong recovered, he slowly stirred the oil pot with one hand, and slowly put Huang Dan into it with the other, the oil was full of bubbles, and thick smoke was everywhere.
"Gu Niangzi can't afford to lose?" His voice came slowly.
"I can afford to lose" Gu Bainiang's voice was gloomy, "If I lose, let me teach you the secrets of the First Master's Sect to Master Dong." β
As she spoke, she approached Master Dong and reached out to grab the wooden stick he was still stirring.
"Don't go down, you've won." She said, "What can I teach you?" β
This little girl's delicate face was full of hideousness, and Master Dong couldn't help but look away.
"Say, how about fried frankincense?" She slowly spat out a word, revealing her thin white teeth.
Master Dong couldn't hide his shocked expression, and looked at her in amazement, she... She... Got it?
Gu Bainiang grinned, flipped her other hand, and two large pieces of wet frankincense fell into the oil pot, and suddenly there was a bang, and the smoke was everywhere.
"You're crazy," Master Dong's face changed drastically and he rushed out of the door.
This time the fryer was extremely violent, causing the medicine pot to shatter, and for a while, the smoke and dust of the fragments flew out, and the other pharmacists around couldn't care about the oil pot in their hands, and squatted down to dodge.
This sudden change caused the audience to be stunned, and the pharmacists in the stands all stood up and took a few steps forward, full of puzzled questions.
"What's wrong?" Everyone asked.
"Gu Niangzi lost in a hurry, and fried Master Dong's medicine pot" People shouted chaotically, and the scene was in an uproar.
Gu Lingyun's expression changed sharply, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched tightly.
"Nonsense" Boss Kang was furious, shouted loudly, and rushed over with a group of people, fetching water and sprinkling water for a while before the fog dissipated, and at this time, Master Dong and Gu Bainiang were not injured, but they were extremely embarrassed.
"Gu Xiang, you're too naughty," Kang Lao shouted angrily.
The dust covered Gu Banniang's face, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.
"Yes." I only heard her say lightly.
"Pharmacist Dong, are you alright? There are many words without mistakes" Kang Lao looked at Master Dong on the side and asked with concern.
Old Man Dong looked panicked, as if he was very frightened, his face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.
"No... Not.... He said in a trembling voice, his eyes wandered, and finally landed on Gu Lingyun, who was standing behind the pharmacist, and he was about to rush over when he raised his feet, but he saw Gu Lingyun's eyes condensed, and his footsteps were stopped.
"Master Dong, I lost, you haven't said that you want me to learn the secret skills." Gu Bainiang's voice sounded behind him.
"Get out, who is rare in your master's secret skills," Master Dong shouted fiercely.
It seems that Master Dong is really angry, and whoever is made like this has to be angry, everyone's faces are clear, and they look at Gu Baniang's expression a little unkindly.
Sure enough, it's smooth sailing, and it's broken, and I can't afford to lose
Gu Bainiang ignored the eyes around her, she just looked at Master Dong, and when she heard this, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Yes, it's still useful for a dead person to ask for someone else's secret technique... She muttered, her voice low and inaudible, and others could only see her mouth move slightly.
After saying this, she laughed a few times, turned around and left.
"It's ridiculous," the ten pharmacists all looked unsightly, and shouted in a low voice.
To appease everyone, the big medicine club has to continue, and this one made the two most powerful people stop the game, which is a great benefit for other pharmacists, without two competitors, not to mention the lottery that the opponent has to pay, the secret of the universal ointment of the Everbright Medicine Club is enough to attract everyone's blood boiling, and even Liu Qian can't take care of looking for Gu Niangzi for the time being, and joins the fight, Gu Niangzi failed in the fight, no matter who was defeated, he won in the end, then his first can live up to his name
Gu Bainiang couldn't hear the hustle and bustle behind her, she walked out quickly, and didn't even look to see if Peng Yizhen Lingbao and the others had caught up, she walked very fast, and in the end she trotted up, and the gate was faintly in sight.
A figure of "Eighteen Niang" suddenly stopped her.
Gu Bainiang's footsteps staggered slightly, and she stopped her feet so that she didn't bump into the person.
"Mr. Wang's shopkeeper." She looked at the person in front of her and barely squeezed out a smile, "Things? β
"Gu Niangzi, are you okay? There are not many words that are not wrong," Wang Yizhang asked with concern, although there were ashes on his face, he couldn't hide the girl's gradually pale face, "What happened just nowγγγγγ β
He babbled on and on.
"Mr. Wang, forgive me for going first... Gu Bainiang interrupted him loudly, raised her feet and left.
"Hey, Gu Niangzi." Wang Yizhang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, he also knew that Gu Niangzi must be tired, but no matter how tired he was, it was not worth mentioning compared to seeing this person, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, and said in a low voice, ". . . To meet the individual ... β
"People? I am now ... Gu Banniang followed what he was pointing at, and said anxiously.
Her voice stopped, and she watched a handsome and imposing man slowly approach, he slowly approached, and reached out to lift the big hat slightly, revealing his delicate features.
King Wenjun nodded at the stunned girl in front of him, and was about to open his mouth to speak, when he saw the girl in front of him change her expression sharply, stretched out her hand to hold her chest, and with a poof, opened her mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Blood splattered on the front of his dark gold shirt, and the man was also falling upside down at the same time, and he took a quick step and reached out to take her into his arms.
---------------------------------------------------
Tired.... I chose the prescription for a day, and the technical flow is really not easy to playγγγγγ
...
