Chapter 112: Friends
The woman looked at Wei Wuji and said with a smile,
"Of course, there are other families, but these are all small families, attached to the three major families of Nangong, Wei, and Ning. 【Full text reading】The little brother is coming to Quarry Town for the first time, right? I have a map of Quarry Town here, or ...... You buy one, it's cheap, and it saves you a lot of trouble in Quarrytown. ”
"Quarry Town still has a map engraved?" Wei Wuji asked in surprise.
The woman smiled and told Wei Wuji that the family in Quarry Town had an engraved book store, and the engraved maps were convenient for merchants to come and go, and the price was very cheap.
Wei Wuji felt that having a map in hand could save him a lot of trouble, so he bought a map from the woman.
The woman left with a smile, took a scroll of calligraphy and painting for a while, and sent it to Wei Wuji with a smile.
The head of the scroll is only one foot long, which is shorter than the average calligraphy scroll.
Wei Wuji unfolded a look, the panorama of the quarrying town is in it, there is a tall city wall on the periphery, the whole town is built according to the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, like the Xiongguan fortress.
The stations of the three major families are like zigzags, and they are arrayed on the map. And the boundaries of the family's private territory are also outlined with vermilion lines, which can be understood at a glance.
The private territories of the three large families are not allowed to be entered by outsiders without the invitation of the family, and the map is specially equipped with text and a simple explanation.
There are no such restrictions in public areas outside of private territory. In the public area, various important shops, such as medicinal herb shops, weapons shops, auction houses, martial arts platforms, and some inn shops, have also been marked with important marks.
"With this map, I can save a lot of trouble. Wei Wuji skimmed briefly and put the map scroll into the package.
After finishing the meal, Wei Wuji checked out and left, walking along the mountain road towards the mountain.
All the way briskly, Wei Wuji went up to the mountain, walked forward not far away, and a figure flashed out on the side of the road.
"Stop, this is the Wei family's mountain forest, every grass and tree is owned by the Wei family, it is strictly forbidden to collect medicinal herbs privately! "A man in his twenties blocked the way.
"This brother, I am also a member of the Wei family. Wei Wuji didn't want to be misunderstood, so he stepped forward and said with a smile.
"People from the Wei family, why haven't I seen you?" the man asked.
"I'm a separater, so you haven't seen it. Wei Wuji smiled.
At this time, a man came in the distance, saw Wei Wuji's face stunned, and walked over quickly with a smile, "Wei Wuji...... Hehe, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's great!"
"Brother Wei Hong, has you always been good?" Wei Wuji also greeted him with a fist.
The person who came was Wei Hong, the pharmacist apprentice of the family, the last time he came to Weijiazhuang to go into the mountains to collect medicine with everyone, Wei Wuji talked with him very happily and became friends.
"Wei Hong, do you know this person?" the man asked.
"Of course I know, the son of the Weijiazhuang family, named Wei Wuji, is my friend. ”
Wei Hong smiled and introduced to the two parties, "This is the pharmacist apprentice of the family, named Wang Ruosheng, and he is also my good friend, by the way, Ruosheng, what are you doing here?"
"When I saw a stranger coming up the mountain, I went up and inquired about it, so that the herbs of my family would not be stolen. Wang Ruosheng replied.
"You, you just have nothing to do, take the chicken feathers as an arrow, even if there are medicinal materials on this mountain road, it has been picked up by our people, how can it be left to passers-by? Don't delay here, let's quickly meet with the others, and return to Quarry Town as soon as possible." Wei Hong said with a smile.
Wei Wuji looked at Wang Ruosheng, his strength was close to quenching the body, but he had not yet broken through, and he was still a little short of the heat. He smiled and showed his kindness when he met the other person.
Wang Ruosheng was also observing Wei Wuji, but he didn't see Wei Wuji's strength.
A cultivator's strength is his own secret, and it is rude to ask questions, so he can only observe them secretly.
Therefore, Wang Ruosheng didn't see Wei Wuji's strength, and he didn't ask more, the three of them talked and laughed, and walked forward briskly along the mountain road.
After a while, the three of them came to a flat place.
Wei Wuji saw that on the edge of the mountain road, there was a stone pavilion for passers-by to rest, and several men and women were sitting inside, talking about something.
When everyone saw the stranger from outside, they all looked at Wei Wuji in surprise.
Wei Hong hurriedly introduced to everyone, Wei Wuji also hugged his fists one by one, smiled and met everyone, and then sat aside with Wei Hong to talk.
Wei Hong then asked Wei Wuji why he came to his house.
Wei Wuji told Wei Hong that he came to his house this time because he was recommended by someone and was going to follow Pharmacist Mu to study the way of refining medicine.
"That's great, Brother Wuji, we can communicate with each other more in the future. "Wei Hong doesn't have many friends, Wang Ruofei just now is one, and now there is more Wei Wuji, and his face shows joy.
"I heard that if you want to get the approval of Medicine Master Mu and be able to listen to the teachings under his seat, you have to go through the test?" Wei Wuji asked.
"Well, you're right, it's true, but it's not as serious as you think. If you pass the test, you can win a seat in Pharmacist Mu's lecture hall, and you can also get personal guidance from Pharmacist Mu to ask questions. If you don't pass the test, you can only stand on one side and listen to the lecture, and even worse, you can only stand outside and listen, and of course you are not qualified to ask questions. ”
Wei Hong smiled and explained to Wei Wuji, "Pharmacist Mu's test is very difficult, I didn't pass it, and now I can only stand and listen to the lecture, fortunately I didn't stand outside, hehe......." ”
Wei Wuji nodded, and asked some more about his family, and Wei Hongdu answered them one by one and explained.
The alchemists of this family do not live with cultivators, but have their own special area, which the family calls the medicine garden.
In the medicine garden, medicinal herbs are planted, and there is also a medicine refining workshop, and cultivators in the family are not allowed to enter without reason. However, the cultivator's area is not forbidden for pharmacists and pharmacist apprentices to enter. However, because the people of the Medicine Garden cultivated differently from each other, they generally rarely went to the cultivators' areas.
"The cultivator's area is full of high-spirited and invincible guys. Very few of our pharmacist apprentices have a relationship with them. Wei Hong replied.
Wei Wuji nodded, everyone respects martial arts, and when cultivators meet, they naturally have to compare their strength.
The cultivation of alchemists is mainly for the needs of refining medicine, and they have no intention of martial arts, so they are naturally shorter in front of cultivators, so it is difficult for them to have friendships with each other.
The two were talking, and there was a commotion in the distance, and more than a dozen people were noisy and arguing loudly, and walked over to this side.
Seeing that the two sides were about to use force, Wei Wuji asked suspiciously, "......Who are these people?"
"They are all pharmacist apprentices of their own family, and I don't know what they are arguing about, let's go and see. Wei Hong stood up and walked towards the arguing crowd.
Wei Wuji followed behind and walked over as well
