Chapter 625: Cinnabar Rune Paper
Walking to the door, Li Qiufan suddenly stopped, patted his head vigorously and scolded: "Ride a donkey to find a donkey!" Why am I going to find a ghost pharmacy in the infirmary? ”
So he went back and asked the doctor if he had any basic magic medicines such as cinnabar realgar, the old doctor thought for a long time, and asked Li Qiufan about the characteristics and uses of the things he said.
After listening to this, the doctor said to wait a while, then took down a drawer of medicine from the medicine shelf, handed it to Li Qiufan and said, "According to your description, it should be cinnabar, can you see if it is this?" ”
Li Qiufan twisted a handful, sniffed it, and said in surprise: "It's exactly this!" Doctor, how much does this stuff cost? ”
The doctor said: "This thing is quite valuable, used to treat mental restlessness, and the effect of those who are infected by evil qi is very good, but it is difficult to obtain, so one penny needs to be tattooed with two taels of silver." ”
Li Qiufan didn't think about it and said: "No problem, I'll buy as much as I want!" ”
The doctor was slightly shocked and said, "Young man, why do you want so much cinnabar?" But there are many people who are infected by evil spirits? ”
Li Qiufan took out a bag of silver and put it on the table and said with a smile: "No, I have my own tricks, you just have to put it up for me." ”
The doctor didn't ask much, he knew the amount of cinnabar with his hand, and put it all into an oiled paper bag and said: "Just one catty, a total of two hundred taels of silver." ”
Li Qiufan smiled and said, "Doctor, I'm afraid you guessed that I only have two hundred taels in my money bag, right?" ”
The doctor smiled, didn't talk nonsense, and took a small scale, and the result was no more, no less, just one pound of weight.
Li Qiufan raised his thumb and said: "Boy, admire, I'll take that thing, thank you doctor, by the way, I have to trouble you, help take care of the five people inside." ”
The doctor nodded: "This is my business, you can rest assured." ”
Although I didn't find other magic medicines, but cinnabar is enough, the next thing is to buy yellow paper, this world, or the Great Qian Dynasty, heavy martial arts and light literature, so there are very few shops that sell the four treasures of the study, and they can't eat enough, who still has the heart to do knowledge.
So I asked several people, only to find a century-old shop in a remote alley, the boss is obviously also a scholar, but due to the recession of the industry, the boss has a thin face, high cheekbones, a thin figure, wearing a gray gown, and the cloth shoes on his feet are already very torn.
"Hello, what do you need?" When the boss saw Li Qiufan, he stepped forward and asked enthusiastically.
Li Qiufan said: "I want a few wolf pen, it is best that the pen can be a little thinner, but also a side of inkstone, ink also, but these three, almost on the line, the most important thing is paper, need two, one yellow, one purple, three inches and six minutes long, one inch and two minutes wide, paper can not be cut with metal knives, must be wooden knives, can it work?" ”
The boss thought for a while and said, "Yes, but it has to be made freshly, and it may be more expensive... But don't worry, I'll only earn a little hard-earned money and material fees, and I will never overcharge you! ”
Li Qiufan took out a ten-measure silver and put it on the table and said, "The price is not a problem, I will come to pick it up at this time tomorrow, is it too late?" ”
The boss didn't hesitate and said, "No problem, but how many do you need?" I'm prepared. ”
Li Qiufan said: "Print as much as you can, as much as you want!" ”
A light burst out in the boss's eyes and said, "Okay! Don't worry, you'll pick it up tomorrow! ”
Li Qiufan nodded, left the alley, the boss hurried home to call his wife and parents to help, whether the family can eat enough, it may depend on this time!
The family looked at the silver on the table, instantly breathed quickly with excitement, and began to get busy.
After going back, Li Qiufan prepared a lot of things like ashes at the bottom of the pot and soil on the beams, and there were no other magic medicines, so he could only use these instead.
After a lot of work, he prepared a big bag, and when he got up the next day, Li Qiufan went to buy a rooster and a black dog or the like, the purpose was to take blood, of course, he didn't kill it, but the container containing blood really gave Li Qiufan a headache for a while, and finally a newly hired guy in the store proposed that it could be packed in a bamboo tube, which solved Li Qiufan's urgent need.
Everything was cleaned up, it was already in the afternoon, Li Qiufan happened to go to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and by the way, he took most of the money collected by the members of the store.
When he came to the alley, Li Qiufan smelled a faint smell of paper from afar, and after entering the door, he really saw two stacks of paper and a packaged pen and ink inkstone.
Seeing Li Qiufan coming on time, the boss's family came out to greet this distinguished guest.
Looking at the bloodshot in their eyes, Li Qiufan knew that the family hadn't slept all night last night.
"Guest, everything you want is ready, you check."
Li Qiufan began to check them one by one, nodding from time to time, the things made by this family are all perfect, especially the rune paper that Li Qiufan cares about the most, which is comparable to the ones he bought with a lot of money before.
"Stuff is good, how much does it cost in total?"
The boss rubbed his hands together and said thoughtfully, "Gotta be... Sixty... No, fifty taels! You have already given ten taels yesterday, and another forty is enough. ”
Li Qiufan frowned slightly, the boss thought he thought it was too expensive, and hurriedly explained: "The others are fine, but this paper is difficult to make... So..."
Li Qiufan knew that he had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "It's not expensive but too cheap, maybe I still need to buy it in the future, so this time, I'll give you more, here are one hundred and fifty taels, counting yesterday's deposit, a total of one hundred and sixty taels, I hope the paper you make in the future will be as good as today." ”
"It's... Guest, you have given too much! The boss and the whole family were shocked, and hurriedly waved their hands and said: "Even if it is fifty taels, we have earned more than seven taels, and if you give one hundred and sixty taels, it will be too much of a loss!" ”
Li Qiufan picked up the things and said: "This is what you deserve, you have done me a great favor, that is, I don't have much silver now, if there is, add another hundred and sixty taels, I also think it is a good deal." ”
Walking to the door, Li Qiufan turned to the sluggish boss and said: "You have great ambitions, but you are trapped by money, start studying in the future, get a reputation as soon as possible, and benefit the people, this is the way you should go, but if you get what you want, remember a sentence, the wife of the chaff can not be abandoned, and the suffering of the people cannot be forgotten, I hope you can read the sage book, practice the sage way, the money is not enough, you can go to the newly opened Changping clothing house to borrow, my name is Li Qiufan, mention my name, the shopkeeper Chunhua girl will lend it to you." ”
After finishing speaking, he disappeared at the door, leaving only the boss with red eyes and tears streaming down his face, who was also a scholar.
Leaving the alley, Li Qiufan finally came to the medical hall, and after entering, he was immediately stared at by five pairs of eyes.
"What's wrong? Flowers on my face? Li Qiufan was at a loss.
The man in Tsing Yi sincerely admired: "Yesterday I drank the fairy water you burned, our injuries have basically healed, even the doctor in the medical hall feels incredible, we have been accompanied by poisonous insects, and we also know a little about pharmacology, your means can be called miraculous!" ”
"Damn, I thought it was a small trick," Li Qiufan patted the two bundles of talisman paper and said: "If you had this thing yesterday, you don't have to wait until now, that little skin injury, a stick of incense can be completely healed." ”
"Now that we're basically cured, let's go!" Li Qiufan said with great interest.
The five of them were a little dazed, how could they feel that this guy was more anxious than themselves, but in this situation, they could only listen to others, so they cleaned up and prepared to leave. Li Qiufan first went back to say goodbye to the Chunhua Qiuyue sisters, and then said hello to Sun Zhongxian, leaving a blood essence talisman to tell him to encounter something that could not be solved, burn the talisman, he sensed it, and at the same time asked him to take care of the sisters.
Six horses, before sunset, went out of the city, all the way did not rest, until the ugly time did not stop to rest, overnight in a ruined temple, the temple should be enshrined in a military general, wearing armor, hand pressed on the sword, eyes majestic, but the statue of the god has long been dusted, the offering table is covered with a thick layer of dust, as if the incense has long been broken.
However, Li Qiufan was keenly aware that the moment several people entered the temple, a faint golden glow flashed in the eyes of the general, and it disappeared in a flash, and no one else noticed it.
The five of them skillfully began to light a fire to cook, but after seeing what they were eating, Li Qiufan almost vomited out the breakfast he had eaten in the morning, which was all poisonous insects.
Holding back the tumbling of the river and the sea in his stomach, Li Qiufan turned his head and asked for their names.
The man in Tsing Yi introduced: "Our names are all given by the sect, my name is Green Snake, and they are called Eight Eyes, Black Thorn, North Worm, and Moth Eyebrow. ”
Li Qiufan said with a smile: "The names of the four big men are related to the poisons that you can control, but where does this girl's moth eyebrows come from, I remember that her mount is the big centipede." ”
Moth Mei lowered his head and smiled: "Back to the words of the adult, because the slave family has just entered the door of ten thousand poisons, he has a slight appearance, and he was born with a moth eyebrow, so he was given a name, and as for the centipede, it can only be controlled later." ”
Li Qiufan suddenly, the six of them sat around the fire, watching the flames swaying, the rice was fragrant, and there was a strong smell of meat in the air, but Li, who knew what kind of meat was cooking in the pot, needed strong willpower to hold back and not spit it out.
Under the light of the fire, the faces of the five people of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect were covered with a faint layer of black gas, but this was not evil or dead gas, but poisonous gas, which should be caused by their long-term cultivation of poisonous skills, and if they looked closely at the faces of the five people, they were all short-lived.
So he asked, "Is there any sequelae in the exercises you practice?" ”
The green snake sighed and said: "Naturally, when we cultivate, we need to use the special exercises in the door to attract poison into the body, travel all over the body, store it in the dantian, and when fighting with people, you can urge the poisonous gas to attack, destroy the other party's spiritual power and physique, if you don't practice the method, the other party will die in endless pain, but at the same time as gaining strength, our body will also be eroded by the poison, although relying on the exercises can suppress the toxin, but this time can not last long, wait until the day of the backlog of toxins to break out, We will die a miserable death, so that almost all of the people in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect have never lived long, and almost all of them have died before the age of forty by the devouring of the poisonous veins..."
After the green snake finished speaking, the five of them showed a trace of pain on their faces at the same time, saying that they were forty years old, but that was already considered a long life, and most of them basically couldn't even get over the hurdle of thirty, and the five of them were the same age, and they were already in their twenties, if nothing else, they didn't have much time to live.
Li Qiufan raised his eyebrows, it was just the poison of poison, and it was not like the yin qi in his body, or the flow of evil qi and demon qi, which was so difficult to control?
As he spoke, he said to the green snake: "Stretch out your hand and let me see." ”
The green snake stretched out his hand suspiciously, Li Qiufan touched his pulse, and his qi swam along the meridians, and after a long time, he said: "Sure enough, although the toxin is restrained by a stream of energy, it still penetrates deep into the meridians and flesh of the whole body, just like the dead leaves of the forest that are still brewing this fire, it is only a little spark away from the complete burning, and once it completely erupts, it will definitely devour the heart vein acupoint." ”
The five of them had long been clear about their physical condition, and they smiled bitterly, not surprised.
However, Li Qiufan's next words made their pupils shrink suddenly, and their bodies trembled with excitement.
