Chapter 33: Goodbye Xiao Ming

At this time, the seven people who were practicing swordsmanship in the field just now also heard the sound and rushed over, holding long swords in their hands, and surrounded Ye Cang in the middle vigilantly.

"Hmph, you said you are from the Pill Pavilion, do you have a token?"

"Senior brother, I am a medicine boy from the Medicine Garden of the Pill Pavilion, and today I came to send medicinal materials to the Yusang Dao people on the order of Lu Fuzi, this is an enchantment token, if you don't believe it, you can check this thing. Ye Cang hurriedly explained, reached out and took out the jade token from his arms, and handed it to the young man.

The young man sucked in the palm of his hand, and the token had already flown into his hand. After picking it up and looking at it for a while, his face gradually softened, and he nodded and handed the token back to Ye Cang, "It is indeed the token of the Pill Pavilion, but this is the practice place of our Jade Sword Pavilion, for the sake of you being the first offense, I will let you go this time, if there is a next time, I will not be polite." ”

"Dare to ask Senior Brother, how to get to the residence of the Yusang Dao people, the first time I came to the Jade Sword Pavilion, I am not familiar with this place, and I have been shuttling back and forth in the bamboo forest several times. Ye Cang scratched his head and asked embarrassedly.

"Come with me, the layout of this bamboo forest adopts the method of gossip and confusion, it is indeed easy to get lost when you come here for the first time, and it is no wonder that you will accidentally break into our practice ground. The young man said lightly, "A few of you continue to practice, and I will send this junior disciple of the Pill Pavilion to Yusang Master Ancestor first." ”

Along the way, the young man introduced himself as Luomu, a second-level disciple of the Jade Sword Pavilion, and had been in the Aoba Temple for ten years. After knowing that Ye Cang was a new medicine boy, he didn't pay attention to what Ye Cang had just accidentally hit.

Ye Cang followed behind the falling wood, followed the path just now, passed through several open bamboo forest clearings, turned three corners to the left in a row, walked three more forks to the right, crossed a stone bridge over a stream, and finally came to a quaint mansion.

"Senior Brother Ye Cang, this is the residence of Master Yusang. Luomu stopped in front of the mansion and said to Ye Cang, "It's inconvenient for me to go in, if you have anything to hand over to Master Yusang, you can tell her face to face." When you're done, someone else will take you out. ”

"Thank you, brother, for leading the way. Ye Cang said gratefully, and then watched the falling wood return the same way.

After standing outside the door for a while, Ye Cang stepped forward and knocked lightly on the knocker of the wooden door three times, and after a pause, he knocked three times again, and then stopped and waited in place.

After a while, the wooden door creaked, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl leaked out, with bright eyes and bright teeth, wearing a blue shirt, glanced at Ye Cang outside the door, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello senior sister, I am Ye Cang, a disciple of the Pill Pavilion Medicine Garden, and I came to deliver medicinal herbs to Yusang Master Ancestor on the order of Lu Fuzi, please let me know. ”

"It turned out that you sent the medicinal herbs, why did you come so late, the master has already explained, there is no need to report, you can come with me directly." When the girl heard Ye Cang's words, she opened the door, let Ye Cang in, and then led the way in front herself.

When you enter the courtyard, you will find that the landscape here is quite elegant. There are several peach blossoms planted in the courtyard, and they are in full bloom at this time. The ground is paved with a thin layer of white sandstone, which is very rhythmically spread out under the peach blossom tree. A few black stones seem to be placed in several directions in the courtyard at random, but they just keep the balance of the whole courtyard picture.

After passing through the peach blossom courtyard, the girl did not stop, and took Ye Cang through a bamboo forest courtyard, a creek courtyard and a green grass courtyard in succession, and finally stopped outside the door of a bamboo room.

"Master, Lu Fuzi of the Pill Pavilion has sent someone to bring medicinal herbs. The girl stood outside the house, bowed inside, and said.

With a "squeak", the bamboo door opened automatically, and a cold voice came out, "Come in." ”

The girl nodded to Ye Cang, got up and walked in, and Ye Cang followed closely.

After entering the room, Ye Cang found that there was not much furniture here, but it was very elegant, and the room revealed a faint scent of grass. On the chair in the middle of the room sat a Taoist aunt in her thirties, holding a handful of floating dust, looking up at Ye Cang. With just one glance, Ye Cang had a feeling that he had been seen through all over his body, and a deep aura emanated from the opposite side, a feeling that he had only felt when he looked at a Sang Dao person from afar during the mountain gate test.

"Ye Cang, a disciple of the Pill Pavilion Medicine Garden, has seen his uncle and ancestor. Ye Cang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite. Yusang Daoist spoke, only to see the floating dust in his hand waved slightly, and Ye Cang's bent body was lifted up, and he slowly stood up straight.

"Did I bring all the medicinal herbs I purchased?"

"Uncle Hui, it's all here. Ye Cang took out a delicate jade box from his arms and presented it with both hands.

The Yusang Daoist stretched out his hand, and the jade box behind Ye Cang floated in front of him, only to see the Yusang Daoist scan for a moment, and with a wave of floating dust, a ring on his left hand lit up slightly, and the jade box disappeared in front of Ye Cang's eyes.

"Senior nephew Ye, I'm sorry for you this time. Xun'er, you take him out of the east courtyard, the road conditions in this green bamboo forest are complicated, and he will go the wrong way again. Yusang Daoist spoke.

"Yes. The girl replied, "Come with me, junior brother." ”

............

Out of the bamboo house, Ye Cang followed behind the girl named Xun'er, and soon came to a gate. After going out of the gate and finding an open building complex in front of him, Ye Cang realized that he had stumbled into the backyard of the Jade Sword Pavilion when he came.

After Xun'er led Ye Cang through several bamboo courtyards, she stopped under a plaque and said to Ye Cang, "Senior Brother Ye, after this plaque, you can go straight for a hundred meters in front of this bamboo forest, I will send you here, welcome to come to the Jade Sword Pavilion in the future." ”

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for leading the way. Ye Cang returned the salute. Then, after seeing Xun'er turn away, he stepped over the plaque and continued to walk forward. After walking for 100 meters, I came to the edge of the bamboo forest, and there was a slightly open field in front of me.

"Hey, isn't this Ye Cang?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the other side of the bamboo forest.

Ye Cang stopped, followed the sound, and saw that in the bamboo forest not far away, three men and one woman were standing there, several people were wearing light cyan clothes, and one of them was looking at him with a slightly strange smile.

The person in front of him was Xiao Ming, who had competed with Ye Cang in the mountain gate test.

"It turned out to be Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Ye Cang said hello with a smile and walked in front of a few people.

"Xiao Ming, who is this?" asked a tall and thin young man behind Xiao Ming at this time, slightly puzzled.

"Cousin, this is Ye Cang, who I mentioned to you at the beginning, I was defeated by his subordinates in the martial arts competition!" Xiao Ming explained seemingly casually.

"Oh?!" The tall and thin boy is named Xiao Ding, also from the Xiao family in Wucheng, a cousin of Xiao Ming's clan, and has been under the Qingye Temple for three years. Hearing Xiao Ming's introduction, Xiao Ding immediately understood. This cousin of the same clan lost the first round of the martial arts competition, and I heard that he was defeated in the hands of a young man with a pseudo-spiritual root, and it seems that he is the person in front of him.

"I heard that Brother Ye went to the Pill Pavilion to become a medicine boy, presumably the environment there is very elegant, unlike our Jade Sword Pavilion, where there are many people, and we can't get such a good cultivation environment as Brother Ye. I heard that Brother Ye was recommended by a pharmacist, and now he has gone to the medicine garden, it seems that you have a lot of fate with the medicine garden, and maybe you can consider becoming a pharmacist in the future. Xiao Ming quipped playfully.

Hearing the sound of Xiao Ming's words, Ye Cang's eyes narrowed, remembering the slightly resentful eyes of the other party who was defeated under his own hands during the mountain gate test, and seemed to understand some of the meanings of Xiao Ming's words.

"Brother Xiao's proposal is good, if Ye Mou fails to cultivate in the future, he can consider it. Ye Cang replied lightly, "Ye Mou still has to go back to the medicine garden to recover his life, so I won't disturb you, next time I will come to the Pill Pavilion to get together with Brother Xiao." ”

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Ye, please stay!"
