Chapter 26 Making Friends

"Oh? Old man, where is it picked? ”

Yaobo stretched out his hand and pointed to the distant mountains outside the town.

Chen Zhan had seen the map when he came, and it was near the old tomb.

"I have collected medicine all my life, and the surrounding mountains have been stepped on many times, on the mountains over there, in the mass graves, the officials and students grow in the cracks of the coffins, hiding from the sun during the day, and only have the opportunity to collect them at night, do you dare to go?"

"Of course you dare," Chen Zhan heard that the last medicinal herb was nowhere to be found, and swept away the gloom just now, revealing a smile, "Please also ask you to draw me a picture and tell me the approximate location." ”

When the old man saw Chen Zhan's appearance, he also laughed.

"Well, to be young is to be energetic."

But he changed his tune:

"It's a good thing for young people to be bold, but you can't be reckless, my poison is the end of recklessness, and strange things have often happened over there recently......"

So, Yaobo told his experience of poisoning.

Although the tomb outside Yaowang Town has been around for a long time, there are still some people who go to worship on the fifteenth day of the new year.

Some time ago, I heard from people who came back from worship that the tributes were often lost there, and the tributes offered during the day disappeared the next day.

Some people say that the wild beasts in the mountains have eaten them, but they have not found the footprints of the wild beasts, some people say that they have been robbed, but no one has found out where the stolen things have gone, and some people say that the dead people have taken them......

It was spread around and around, and the more it spread, the more evil it became, and there were fewer people who dared to go there, and fewer people who made offerings.

Yaobo was not afraid of this, and went up the mountain to collect medicine as before.

But after all, he was old, and when he returned from collecting medicine at dusk, he accidentally slipped and fell, and the whole person rolled into a mass grave and fell unconscious.

At night, he regained some consciousness in a trance, and vaguely saw a dark shadow approaching him, and wanted to get up, but his body did not obey the call, and he couldn't get up.

The sun rose the next day, and Yaobo was able to recover and walk down the mountain.

However, when he returned, he found that his skin was red and infected with corpse poison.

"Lost a tribute?" Chen Zhan was very interested in this detail.

Nowadays, he has a different perspective from ordinary villagers, and there is no need to be suspicious.

He had come into contact with ghosts, and Yao Bo had been infected with corpse poison.

It is very likely that Yao Bo bumped into a ghost in the grave.

Chen Zhan had studied the "Twelve Chapters of Dividing Gold and Fixing Acupoints", and the compass was also used when he was in Luofu, and when he first saw the map of Yaowang Town, he was very interested in the feng shui of that cemetery.

Yao Bo looked at Chen Zhan with a smile.

"This trip is dangerous, with the old man's current body, I can't go with you, but I can give you this."

I saw Yaobo click on the crutches in his hand that were full of stains.

His hand holding the cane was shaking violently, and Chen Zhan suspected that he had Parkinson's.

What will such an old man come up with?

Yaobo untied the rag wrapped around one end of the bamboo cane and split it along the texture of the bamboo shell.

A short dark green cane was exposed.

Chen Zhan looked carefully.

The thing inside is also like a cane, the material is not stone or wood, like clotted cream.

The whole body is inky and has bamboo knots.

Compared with the original oil-stained crutches, it looks exceptionally clean.

"Is this Mozhu?" Chen Zhan guessed based on his appearance,

The old man nodded slightly:

"This is the ink bamboo cane, the utensils handed down from our medicine collection door, a hundred years ago, the ancestors took it when they went up the mountain to collect medicine, the mountain features are complex, not only can the grass find the snake, but also when close to the poison, the ink bamboo cane will tremble slightly, as a warning, now to you, take it to the mountain to use!"

Hearing that this thing has a history of 100 years, Chen Zhan hurriedly refused.

"This thing is too expensive for me to want."

Yao Bo insisted on giving the ink bamboo cane to Chen Zhan and the others, pointing at Chen Nan.

"This little girl is kind-hearted, and she was willing to give me the expensive ointment when we met for the first time, and you didn't stop it, proving that we are destined, you first hold the ink bamboo cane, and then look at my hand......"

Chen Zhan didn't understand what it meant, and Ying Yan took the bamboo cane.

Seeing that the bamboo cane was out of his hand, Yao Bo's hand did not tremble, but Chen Zhan's hand trembled, and his hand trembled.

It turned out that Yaobo was not Parkinson's, but the reason for taking this bamboo cane.

"There are thousands of poisons in the world, the ink bamboo cane will tremble when it is close to the poison, I have corpse poison on my body, I can't take this thing, I have no heirs and no disciples in this life, and there is no heir after death, so don't refuse."

Speaking of Yaobo, he sighed with emotion and talked about the past.

"I've lived here all my life, and this place was not originally called Yaowang Town, Yaowang, who died young, how ugly the name is.

When I was a child, there was no name here, and the village collected medicine for a living, and outsiders called it this medicine collection village.

The people in the village went up the mountain to collect medicinal materials to sell, and later someone found a business opportunity, changed this place to Yaowang Town, hoarded medicine and fried medicine in the name of Yaowang, people's hearts were corrupted, and a lot of immoral things were done here, and there were often patients who died because of medicine, and I was heartbroken......

Now this little girl is in sympathy with me, I don't ask you to be the heir of the medicine collection gate, you take it to the mountain to collect medicine, and then pass it on to the kind-hearted people in the future, which can be regarded as passing on the things of the ancestors......"

The corners of Chen Nan's eyes were red when he heard this, and he kept nodding.

Seeing that Yaobo was sincere, Chen Zhan did not refuse again.

The brother and sister both saluted the old man to express their gratitude.

……

A person walked out of the Medicine King Hall, and the young secretary beside the middle-aged man walked towards Chen Zhan.

The secretary just helped the middle-aged man block a wooden stick, and at this time one arm was still tied with gauze.

He greeted Chen Zhan kindly and said some polite words.

Hand over a business card.

"This is our leader, thank you for your help, the leader has just been transferred from other provinces, is about to take office, this is his business card after taking office, the leader has just arrived here, he is not too familiar with this side, so today's matter, please don't publicize it to the public."

Chen Zhan looked at the courtyard, where the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang was surrounded by a crowd of people, and the stars were holding the moon.

The business card in his hand reads:

Zhang Kexin, Deputy Governor of Jiang Province.

This position is roughly equivalent to the second-in-command of Jiang Province.

Chen Zhan's hand shook.

I'll go, such a big official......

I really didn't see that this middle-aged man had such a high status before, whether it was a person or a car, he was too low-key, and he didn't even bring a bodyguard when he went out, which was equivalent to a private visit to Weifu.

In his heart, this kind of privileged person is generally high, and he is the kind of group that reimburses all the top medical treatment, and he can come out to find a private doctor, which can be said to be quite individual.

And what's even more dramatic is that the deputy governor can also be fooled by the medicine king.

The secretary said earnestly:

"You are not bad, have you considered being the personal bodyguard of our leader, the future is very broad."

"No, no, I'm used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and I still have a sister to raise here." Saying that, Chen Zhan pointed at Chen Nan.

Chen Nan looked disgusted and snorted.

The secretary said:

"It's okay, there is also my phone number on it, the leader said, thank you for your help today, if you need help in the future, you can call me, of course, within the principle."

Hearing this, some people will be flattered, and some people will take it as a polite.

Chen Zhan smiled and was very relaxed, not forgetting to solicit business for himself.

"My name is Chen Zhan, I am a Taoist priest, you can also remember my phone number, we can make friends, if you have something to do with demons and demons, just look for me."

The secretary also laughed when he heard this, and quipped:

"Oh? Your profession is also free and easy, our leaders are upright, and no demons and monsters dare to get close. ”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone with one hand and saved Chen Zhan's number.
