Chapter 77: Ear Splitting Pills and Golden Wine
Before going to Hao Yongtai's house, Chu Qiguang still took a trip to the Taoist temple and met with the Fayuan Taoist priest.
Stuffed ten taels of silver to this Taoist priest, and the two sides immediately enjoyed themselves, and Fa Yuan ordered Dao Tong to go to a table of wine and eat with Chu Qiguang.
Chu Qiguang smiled and said, "Fa Yuan Dao Chief, don't you have a precept that you can't drink alcohol?"
Fa Yuan smiled slightly, raised his cup and said, "This is not ordinary wine, but French wine, which is refined from a variety of medicinal herbs, although it has the taste of wine, it is not real wine. ”
Chu Qiguang has also been familiar with Fa Yuan these days, and knows that the Heavenly Master Sect has all kinds of rules and precepts, and more than a hundred years ago, most of the Taoist masters in the sect who have cultivated are Daoist people who strictly abide by the precepts, and the atmosphere has not been corrupted.
But now at this time, not only is the officialdom corrupt and greedy, but the Heavenly Master Sect is also in the mountains and rivers, and the people's hearts are not ancient.
More and more Taoist priests began to pursue gold and silver enjoyment, and various ways to bypass the precepts were also thought up one by one.
Chu Qiguang secretly analyzed this phenomenon in his heart: "The changes from the founding of the Han Dynasty to the present are the rapid development of the commodity economy, not only the wealth of the upper class and the elite is constantly expanding, but the enjoyment of gold and silver is also increasing, and the social atmosphere is becoming more and more extravagant. ’
In addition, all kinds of businessmen in the society got rich overnight, giving birth to all kinds of wealth myths, which accelerated this kind of thinking, so that the whole society gradually took pride in chasing money. ’
In this way, it also gave birth to cultural and ideological emancipation, and various trends of thought surged. For example, many Han people today regard the moral people of the past as pedantic and extremely pragmatic. ’
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, people can't eat air to live, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing practical gains, but the Han Dynasty is facing this kind of cultural and spiritual impact, and some people will inevitably go astray and go to extremes......
In fact, if this kind of ideological emancipation goes to the right path, perhaps the Han Dynasty will pay more and more attention to practice, and then to technology that can bring benefits, and finally even because of the drive of interests...... Developing a scientific system ......'
'But now this situation is just right for me......
Chu Qiguang smiled slightly, and after a few rounds of drinking with Fa Yuan Daoist, he seemed to inadvertently ask the other party some questions about the Heavenly Master's teaching pills.
However, it was not the first time that Fa Yuan had come into contact with someone who wanted to buy the internal pill, and seeing that Chu Qiguang was thriving in Qingyang County, he directly quoted the price on the spot.
"I'm just a demon slaying mage in a small Qingyang County, and I don't have much to go. Brother Chu Xian, I see that you are also a dragon and phoenix among people, and you will definitely have a great future in the future, so I will tell you a real number, and it can be counted as a good fate......"
According to Fa Yuan, the only internal pills he can take out and sell are the three kinds of eye-opening pills, ear-opening pills, and nose-opening pills, as for the higher-grade pills, he either has no goods in his hands for the time being, and he has to ask the Dragon Snake Mountain or Baiyueguan in the capital to buy them, or he has to keep them for himself.
Chu Qiguang knew that Dragon Snake Mountain was the headquarters of the Heavenly Master Sect, and the pills and talismans that could be used on it were generally better than local Taoist temples like Qingyang Temple.
Chu Qiguang only needs to buy ear opening pills, while the ear opening pills sold by Fa Yuan Taoist here are 40 taels.
It doesn't sound much more expensive than the hundred refining ointment, but the key is an ear opening pill, which will support the time of a stick of incense, and if you use ten or eight of them on this day, it will cost hundreds of taels of silver.
However, Fa Yuan Taoist also reminded Chu Qiguang that pills such as eye-opening pills, ear-opening pills, and nose-opening pills are pills that use domineering medicinal power to stimulate the meridians, temporarily increase vision, hearing, and smell, and it is okay to use them two or three times a day, if you use too much, it is easy for erysipelas to enter the brain, and you will be disabled at least and die at worst.
After all, these three kinds of pills were originally used in advance by the Heavenly Master Sect to fight, track, and ambush demons, and there are a few that can be used for practice.
Even if the Wu family and the Hao family in Qingyang County do not use ear opening pills to practice every day, only Chu Qiguang and Qiao Zhi have such extravagant thoughts with their strange backgrounds.
After all, most martial artists still use the kung fu of water milling to improve their martial arts cultivation bit by bit.
However, if you only take the ear opening pill and don't have any other two-flavor medicines, it is estimated that you will not be able to reach the third realm in a month as Qiao Zhi estimated.
But even if you only take ear opening pills, it is estimated that it will cost more than 3,000 taels a month.
Chu Qiguang sighed in his heart: "Poor and rich in martial arts, it's really not wrong, this martial arts practice costs money, and there is no upper limit."
I've earned thousands of taels of silver these days, but after taking medicine and practicing martial arts every day, it's only been less than two months, and it's been spent cleanly.
If you want to use medicine next, then the cost will be even worse, I'm afraid that the Hao family and the Wu family have not spent all their money on martial arts training. ’
After all, for the Hao family and the Wu family, using more pills and less pills is a matter of a few years earlier and a few years later, anyway, the highest is the fifth realm of martial arts, how many people in the world can enter the Dao? Ordinary martial artists basically don't expect to be able to enter the Dao.
Moreover, in addition to practicing martial arts, the wealthy families also have to spend a lot on land, business, entertainment, and connections.
But Chu Qiguang knew that there might be a chaotic era in a few more decades, and he could probably guess what the last years of the dynasty would be, so he had to seize every day to quickly improve his strength and climb to a high position, which was a snowball process for him, and the faster he upgraded, the better.
Next, after making an agreement with Daoist Fa Yuan, he would come to buy medicine later, and Chu Qiguang went to Hao's house.
......
In the garden of the Hao family, Hao Yongtai looked at Chu Qiguang with a smile: "Brother Chu, don't you know that He Wenyan has become an ant on a hot pot in the past few days, your method is really useful." ”
"In a few days, Nangou Township and the other twelve townships are afraid that there will be another big fight, and then it will be a civil uprising. ”
Chu Qiguang nodded and reminded: "You still have to be careful, I feel that this matter is not so simple." ”
Regarding Chu Qiguang's reminder, Hao Yongtai didn't care, but just left Chu Qiguang to eat the table together.
Looking at the table full of wine and food, Chu Qiguang, who had just eaten a table of wine in the Taoist temple, touched his stomach helplessly, and there was always a little bit of a feeling in his heart that he had returned to the feeling of communication and entertainment in his previous life.
What else can you say...... Drink it......'
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better and better between pushing the cups and changing the lamps, and after feeling that the heat was almost over, Chu Qiguang opened his mouth and said, "Brother Tai, have you ever heard of golden wine?"
......
After three rounds of drinking, under Chu Qiguang's repeated pouring, Hao Yongtai was also drunk. And Chu Qiguang also successfully promoted the golden wine, and made an appointment to bring it over tomorrow for Hao Yongtai to try.
Then Chu Qiguang asked the little guy to lead the way, and helped Hao Yongtai back to the wing room, and on the way, he took the opportunity to take some of Hao Yongtai's blood, planning to let Qiao Zhi test it after he went back.
As soon as Chu Qiguang came out of Hao Yongtai's room, he saw Hao Xiangtong frowning and looking at him gloomily.
