Yusheng's work in Jimintang is not easy, on the fifth watch, he has to sort out every medicinal herb in the medicine cabinet, add what should be added, add what should be added, and change what should be changed. Some medicinal materials can not be damp, especially in cold days or rainy days, special attention should be paid to timely replacement; Some medicinal materials should be protected from light, so special attention should be paid to the inspection of the storage place; Some herbs look very similar and can be easily confused if you are not careful; Some of the same herbs, fried, steamed or raw, have completely different medicinal effects.

Yusheng started out as an apprentice and had a lot to learn and do every day. In addition to sorting out the medicine cabinet, Yusheng also had to go to the port with some pharmacists to pick up and transport the goods, and after the goods arrived, they had to be dried and sealed in time to avoid the decay of the medicinal materials. Of course, the three meals a day for the masters, Yusheng also had to cook with another apprentice named "Ah Mao", and the last job was to clean up the medicine hall after a busy day. After everything is in order, Yusheng can go back to the house to rest.

The shopkeeper Wang allowed Yusheng to have one day off in a month, which was also a favor granted for Bai Zhengbo's sake. For all this, Yusheng can only be grateful, recalling that he used to be just a little flower boy begging along the street, being bullied and scolded, everything was just a livelihood. However, now he has a master who loves him, a wife who cares about him, a lovely little sister, a pharmacy master who teaches him, a shopkeeper who works for him, and a friend A Mao...... All this is something he didn't dare to imagine before, he is really satisfied and content, even if sometimes the pharmacy masters and the shopkeeper Wang will beat and scold him for not doing a good job, but that is also a kind of concern! Yusheng is really content.

Yusheng is also a very diligent and motivated child, in addition to doing a good job in the medicine hall, he also did not forget the master's "Qingyang Neijing" to explain him. From the beginning of the difficult steps to the later ease, Yusheng only took about a year to lay a solid foundation of internal strength, and then Bai Zhengbo began to teach him the "Thirteen Swords of the Dragon", "Hundred Steps of the Fallen Soul" and "The Yellow Emperor's Nine Needles Dafa". It is said that the "Thirteen Swords of the Dragon" began in the late Tang Dynasty with a total of thirteen moves, namely: the fish and dragon swing tail, the fish leaping over the dragon gate, the birth of the dragon, the dragon singing Qishan, the dragon pan in the sky, the dragon drama thunder, the dragon walking the world, the dragon dancing bell wind, the dragon walking the stream, the cloud rolling flying dragon, the dragon roaring tiger, the dragon swimming in the East China Sea, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious; The "Down-and-Out Hundred Steps" is created by Bai Zhengbo's uncle, Han Zile, who is known as the "down-and-out scholar" in the rivers and lakes, with 20 styles each, divided into five parts, namely: Born with my talent, Top Gun, Wind and Cloud, Storm and Everything is empty.

The diligent Yusheng went to practice martial arts in a barren forest outside the city after playing in the medicine hall every day. It is a forest that no one cares about, and the locals call it "Ghost Forest". It is said that eight years ago, it was originally the home of a large family, but although it was close to the edge of the city, it had a different world. The owner of this large family is surnamed Situ Mingzhiming, a well-known local Confucian merchant who runs a silk business. Situ Zhiming is very fond of integrating his poems and paintings into the grass and trees in the manor and inviting skilled craftsmen from all over the world to decorate the garden for him, so the Situ Manor fifteen years ago was one of the most beautiful places in Hangzhou. However, on a mysterious night, three hundred and five people up and down the Situ Manor disappeared in a pool of blood, no one alive or dead, leaving only a bloodstain all over the garden. The prefect of Hangzhou also sent a large number of arresters to investigate the case, but found nothing. The strangest thing is that none of the belongings in the manor have been lost, but there is nothing alive. Because it is too weird, the government can only blame the culprit on the gods and monsters, and for ordinary people, it has long been determined that it was a ghost. Since then, the locals have avoided talking about this strange and mysterious event, and are afraid to approach this "ghost" manor, but from time to time people still hear the ghosts' cries and see the ghosts flying in this abandoned manor.

About two years later, a Taoist priest came, calling himself "Tianya Layman" and recommending himself to make this manor no longer haunted. His method was to raze the manor and plant countless peach trees on it in order to suppress the unjust spirits. His plan apparently didn't work, the houses weren't demolished, the strange moans and phantoms were more active, and the peach grove was so gloomy that no one dared to come. From time to time, the local people still talk about the strange fires and the terrible winds in the ruins.

Maybe it's because of the boldness of the artist, Yusheng has been practicing in this peach forest for more than a year, and has not encountered those weird sounds and strange shadows like others say, in the eyes of most people, this is a terrifying area that has been barren for more than ten years, and for Yusheng it is a good practice ground, although it is not as good as Shizhongjing, but it is quiet here, and no one disturbs. Moreover, as long as you have a heroic righteousness and an open mind, you are afraid of any demons and monsters.

When the peach blossoms bloom every year, the peach blossoms fly in the wind, falling all over the ground, and there is no lack of another beauty. Of course, Yu Sheng never said this feeling to others, because no one could understand the beauty of this ghost forest, and in addition, he didn't want others to know about his practice in the ghost forest, which was his secret. Even if there are really ghosts in the ghost forest, they have never bothered Yusheng, who believes that there are dark ghosts in his heart, as long as he does it right, there are ghosts in the world.

In addition to work and practice, on the last day of every month, Yusheng will buy some delicious and fun things and go back to Shuyi Bamboo Forest. The master likes the sauce fried beef in Xiangyi Garden the most, the wife likes the plums in Chaxiangge the most, and the little sister likes a lot, such as the kite of Daddy Zhang at the mouth of Liuxiangkou, the noodle people of Master Wu in Dongjing Street and the sugar gourd in Surabaya Lane, etc. And every time the little junior sister will make some strange requests, sometimes it really makes Bai Zhengbo and his wife cry and laugh, and Yusheng can only smile stupidly, not knowing what to do. But no matter what, this is a happy family, and it is Yusheng's most cherished home.

Nearly ten years have passed in a blink of a busy and happy day, and Yusheng has grown into a handsome and sturdy young man, although it is a coarse cloth patch, it is still difficult to hide Yusheng's innate temperament. Master Bai Zhengbo has passed on his life's kung fu to Yusheng, not only that, Yusheng also learned a lot of gold and stone and medicine skills, in the medicine hall, although he can not sit in the hall to practice medicine, but Yusheng can already see the advantages and disadvantages of each doctor's prescription, and has his own unique opinions.

On this day, after Yusheng finished his homework in the morning as usual, he helped weigh and take the medicine in the medicine hall as usual. At this time, several ragged people named Hanako rushed into the medicine hall, they looked anxious, and they were carrying a middle-aged man about forty years old in their hands, only to see that this person had a sauce-colored face, his eyes were closed, a black gas faintly appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and there was a slight trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the man's hands are swollen and his skin is black, it is obvious that he has been poisoned and has caused a coma.

The shopkeeper Wang, who was settling the accounts on the side, saw that Hanako rushed into the medicine hall, and immediately rushed forward to block it and scolded: "Hey, hey,...... I said, "Where are you poor people going?" Can you also come to the Jimin Pharmacy? ”

As soon as the words fell, an old man walked out of the beggar, and saw that this person had white hair, bright eyes, and a ruddy complexion. The old man listened to Boss Wang's words, smiled slightly, and said: "Helping the people, helping the people, isn't it just to help the people?" We live by begging, but we are also people! Why can't there be relief? ”

Many onlookers said yes again and again, but Boss Wang looked contemptuous, he sneered lightly, and said lightly: "The relief is not said to be on credit, we also have to spend money to open a medicine hall, it is okay to save this stinky scream, first take out a hundred taels of silver, I will personally rescue him, how about it?" ”

When the silver-haired old man heard this, his face was slightly displeased, he snorted, gritted his teeth and sneered: "Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, you save people first, and I will give you the money later." ”

Unexpectedly, Boss Wang shook his head and said: "You treat me stupidly, I healed him, if you don't give money, who will I go to?" Who doesn't know that you are homeless and poor people who want to eat, and if you want to eat, you will have a hundred taels of silver? Joke! ”

When the old man heard this, he was furious, clenched his fists and glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, and asked coldly, "Are you a doctor or not?" ”

Seeing that the old man looked desperate, the shopkeeper Wang trembled slightly timidly: "You...... You...... What are you doing? Sue, tell you, Lao Tzu is the county lord Li according to it, you, you, who are you scaring about! "The shopkeeper Wang is a treacherous man, and he is also a sophisticated profiteer, who always makes decisions on the medicine scales and officialdom on weekdays. In addition, he was respectful and humble to Master Li of the county government and Lord Zhao, the prefect of the county, and the superior medicinal materials were always constantly honored, so his business could become more and more popular in the local area. For the guys in the hall, the shopkeeper Wang is also extremely stingy and mean, since Yusheng came here to work, in the past ten years, the guys in the hall are like a marquee, in addition to Yusheng and Ah Mao, there have been no less than 20 guys. In the face of such a treacherous man, how could this old beggar distinguish clearly from him.

At this time, Boss Wang suddenly saw an extremely delicate sedan chair flashing on the street outside, guarded by more than a dozen officials, and the leading ones, the shopkeeper Wang recognized at a glance that it was Zhang Zhukuai and Liu Zhukuai in the yamen. Before everyone could react, the shopkeeper Wang rushed out of the medicine hall with an arrow step, ran straight to the small sedan chair, and shouted in his mouth: "Master, save me, there are villains who want to hurt my ......."

I saw that the sedan chair slowly stopped, and the shopkeeper Wang knelt in front of the sedan chair with a "plop", and described the intention of the "villain" to commit murder with a handful of snot and tears. At this time, the people in the pharmacy also gathered around.

The old beggar and the other beggars also stepped forward, only to see that the old beggar clenched his fists in his chest and said loudly: "My lord, I only carry my friend to this medicine hall because of the poison in his body and there is no curable medicinal materials at hand. After saying that, the old man also knelt down on one knee.

Many onlookers also nodded yes again and again, expressing their support for the old beggar. When the shopkeeper heard this, he was anxious and shouted: "You recognize this poor man, you can, help him pay!" Give money, give money! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the crowd behind him, and they suddenly became dumb again.

The more Yusheng who was standing on the side looked at it, the more angry he became, the shopkeeper of the King of Qi bullied the poor so much, and was angry that he was so despicable and shameless, and the wicked sued first. Yusheng gritted his teeth so loudly that he clucked, and he squeezed his fist and was about to come forward to appeal for the old beggar and others, but Ah Mao next to him grabbed Yusheng's arm, grabbed him hard, and said in his ear: "Brother, hold back, hold back!" ”
