Chapter 18: There is no way to avoid it
Seeing Ji Beichen's stunned appearance, the white-bearded old man showed a smile on his face that was not smiling just now, his left hand was behind his back, and his right hand combed the gray beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "I am the junior brother of the old man Shi Wuji, called Baishi." ”
"Hello Bai Senpai!" When Ji Beichen heard that it was Shi Wuji's senior disciple, he stepped forward and gave a big salute.
Seeing that Ji Beichen was so polite, Bai Shi couldn't help laughing and said: "No courtesy, no courtesy, I'm different from that old stubborn, you don't have to be so polite in front of me, you are the same as Ling'er's girl, just call me Grandpa Shi!" ”
Ji Beichen nodded respectfully and agreed, since Senior Bai Shi said so, he was no longer polite, and followed Senior Bai to the front hall of the pharmacy.
In the early morning, the Hangji Pharmacy has been opened for business, and the shopkeeper Zhao is sitting in the front hall to ask for a consultation, the people are sparse and loose, and there are not too many people who see the doctor, but there are already a lot of people who take prescriptions to grab medicine.
Zhao Ling'er was also busy in front of the medicine cabinet, receiving prescriptions, reviewing prescriptions, grabbing medicines, and from time to time pointing to the medicine shop boy next to him, his serious appearance was very different from yesterday.
Zhao Ling'er looked at the pharmacy in her hand, and didn't forget to remind the young man: "This is a new recipe, pay attention to whether the medicinal taste is heavy!" ”
"Good, good!" The young man nodded in agreement, and looked closely.
Zhao Ling'er turned her head and said sharply to the newcomer: "Don't mix every medicine with every medicine, it's a bad rule for you to catch the medicine like this!" If you take it wrongly, it will not be sorted, this person's life is a trivial matter, and when you catch the medicine in the future, there must be a gap between each medicine! ”
Ji Beichen looked at the delicate and capable Zhao Ling'er in front of the medicine cabinet, dumbfounded, is this still the little girl who was coquettish with him yesterday?
Zhao Ling'er finished the business in hand, and when she raised her head, she happened to meet Ji Beichen's eyes. She hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt, trotted all the way to Ji Beichen, and shouted sweetly: "Brother Ji!" ”
"Oh, Ling'er can't see me as an old man when she has a brother, it's so sad!" Bai Shi, who was standing on the side, saw Zhao Ling'er's jubilant little appearance, and felt a little surprised in his heart, this treatment was exclusive to him before.
"Grandpa Shi, how could Ling'er forget you! The hot breakfast at Chen Kee Restaurant is ready for you, grandpa go to the dining room to enjoy! ”
Zhao Ling'er just shouted Ji Beichen first when she was excited, and seeing Baishi's trouble, she hurriedly grabbed Baishi's arm and walked towards the dining room, not forgetting to stick out her tongue at Ji Beichen before leaving.
Shopkeeper Zhao heard the movement here, walked over, and intimately asked about Ji Beichen's recent situation: "How was Daoist Ji resting last night?" ”
Ji Beichen knew that Shopkeeper Zhao really cared about him, and he was very grateful in his heart, and said with a smile: "Very good, thank you Shopkeeper Zhao for your thoughts." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao saw that Ji Beichen's face was ruddy, and he was not as tired as yesterday, so he knew that he should have a good rest at night.
He took two steps forward, stretched out his arm, patted Ji Beichen's shoulder, and said, "Since Ling'er recognizes you as your brother, Daoist Ji will call me Uncle Zhao!" ”
Ji Beichen saw that the Zhao family was all honest and kind people, so he no longer hesitated, and replied calmly: "Then Uncle Zhao will call me Ji Chen!" ”
It was also a helpless move for him to conceal his true identity yesterday, after all, his current identity is inconvenient to disclose, so it is better to keep a low profile.
The two chatted in the front hall for a few words and went their separate ways, and Ji Beichen set up a divination stall in front of the pharmacy as usual, and began his mortal life after entering the WTO.
——
On that day, Yan Yueli returned to Yan Yuezong in a negative mood, and it didn't take long for him to send his men to Cangzhou City to investigate Ji Beichen's whereabouts, and the news he brought back was "safe, divination, and ...... harm"
Yan Yueli heard that Ji Beichen's body was unharmed and had blended into the mortal dust, her heart suddenly sank, and she began to be duplicitous: "Not bad! It just so happens that I'm still happy! ”
At this time, Shen Qingxi happened to return to the sect from the Soul Valley, and as soon as she stepped into the main hall, she heard Yan Yueli losing her temper for Ji Beichen, and couldn't help but bite her lower lip secretly, lest she couldn't help laughing, and Wang Yuanting, who was following her, could only sigh secretly in her heart.
Yan Yueli already knew about Ji Beichen's meritorious service, although he was shocked in his heart, but the fait accompli could not be changed, and he could only hide it from the sect master for the time being.
He fanned the Xuanming fan in his hand, and frowned suspiciously: "No, with Ji Beichen's temperament, if he knows that there is the true qi of the demon skill in his body running all over his body, he will definitely ask the palace master for an explanation, how can he be so calm?" ”
Yan Yueli's face was slightly gloomy, and Shen Qingxi lip-synced Wang Yuanting: He didn't know.
"This ......" Wang Yuanting opened his mouth, instantly dumbfounded.
Shen Qingxi didn't pay any attention to Wang Yuanting anymore, and used his divine sense to transmit the voice to Yan Yueli: "Does the palace master want him to know?" If Ji Beichen knew the truth, he would definitely be even more desperate...... But he can't hide this for long, he will know sooner or later......"
As she spoke, she pursed her mouth and expressed a little sympathy, but for a moment, her eyes became firm again, and she continued to use her divine sense to transmit the voice to Yan Yueli: "If the palace master is soft-hearted, he doesn't have to go in person, this kind of iron-faced selfless and unsympathetic thing, senior brother is the best at this!" ”
"Senior Sister Qingxi, don't talk nonsense, when did I treat you coldly?" Wang Yuanting couldn't help it, Shen Qingxi's cultivation was nothing more than an exorcism in the final analysis, he was a cultivator in the Jindan period, if he wanted to hear the transmission of her divine sense, it would not be difficult.
Shen Qingxi was surprised, and instantly jumped to his feet and said angrily: "You...... How can you hear that? ”
Wang Yuanting just shrugged his shoulders, they were originally disciples of the Demon Sect, so they naturally had some cunning little moves, but she was too simple.
As the senior brother of Yan Yuezong, in addition to the sect master and the "Four Elders", the disciples of the sect all obey his instructions, and even Yan Yueli does not have so much power, it can be seen that Wang Yuanting's ability is not trivial, and his prestige as a "judge in Tsing Yi" has never been boasted.
Shen Qingxi was unconvinced, she knew that she was ruthlessly tricked by Wang Yuanting again, although she was weak in the exercises, but she was unforgiving: "Hmph, you naturally don't dare to treat me, otherwise my grandfather will not be able to spare you!" ”
Yan Yueli saw that the two of them were arguing again, and she was suddenly dizzy, so she had to reluctantly say to the two: "Senior Brother Lao has gone on a trip, if Senior Sister Shen wants to go together, let's go together." ”
Wang Yuanting and Shen Qingxi didn't say anything more, and they all bowed their hands and obeyed: "Yes." ”
The two didn't dare to stay longer, so they left immediately, and the other disciples didn't dare to go in at will, for fear of angering the "little witch".
The hall that was still "lively" just now, only Yan Yueli was left alone, and it was suddenly deserted, but people were not used to it.
She gradually began to think blindly, distraught by her decision just now, and said leisurely: "I don't know if he will come to see me......"
Yan Yueli smiled silently, she didn't know what was wrong with her, everything had been different since she met Ji Beichen......
No matter how indifferent Ji Beichen was to her, she still couldn't help but want to know everything about him. Her emotions are always tied up by him, and she wants to get rid of it but can't do anything about it.
Yan Yueli frowned tightly and bit her lower lip, she was not at all like the free and easy Demon Sect Palace Master in the past, she looked down on herself if she continued like this......
She thought bitterly, and finally thought of something, and then muttered with relief: "It's all for my mother, yes, it's for my mother......"
This self-persuasion finally made Yan Yueli sober up, she narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Ah Chen, Ah Chen, if you are still so stubborn, the master of this palace will accompany you to the end, I want to see how long you can survive!" ”
——
In the past few days, the front of the Hangji Pharmacy has been very lively, and every day there are two large truckloads of medicinal materials transported to the pharmacy. Zhao Ling'er is very busy every day, sorting out medicinal materials, sorting, registering, and warehousing, and sometimes she doesn't even have time to eat.
Ji Beichen didn't know what the situation was, but he said that it was the daily purchase of the pharmacy, so he didn't ask in detail. Every day, he still sets up his hexagram stall at the door of the pharmacy, gets up early to practice swordsmanship, and concentrates on luck at night, and his life is comfortable.
Shiraishi-senpai has not been seen since the last time he met him. Ji Beichen asked Zhao Ling'er, Zhao Ling'er only knew that her Grandpa Bai should be out of the city, but she didn't know when he would come back.
Ji Beichen thought, didn't he go back to the Valley of Leaving the Soul? I remembered that time, and Yan Yueli and them were together.
After all, he has been away from Soul Valley for more than half a month, and every night he tries to operate the true qi in his body, but he also realizes some doorways.
That day, he tried to reverse the true qi in his body, but he never thought that the true qi would smoothly gather into the dantian. He had learned this method on the night of the ghost doctor's mound, as if he had been taught it by one person in a dream, but he couldn't remember who it was......
This Baishi Divine Doctor is not in the city, and the "triangular eye" who came to divination before has not come to make trouble again for the time being.
Ji Beichen asked Zhao Linger in detail, who is the "triangular eye" who came to make trouble?
Zhao Ling'er couldn't understand, she only said that a rich and powerful son was sick and wanted to see Grandpa Shi, but she didn't know why Grandpa Shi didn't treat him, probably what kind of bad person that person was, or a person with bad conduct!
Ji Beichen knew that Baishi's predecessors knew how to read faces, hexagrams, and feng shui, and could pinch and calculate, it was possible that this person's life had arrived, and even a miracle doctor could not violate the laws of nature, so he didn't delve further, thinking that as long as the "triangular eye" didn't come to the pharmacy to make trouble.
The summer rain is coming, but I didn't expect this thing to be able to hide if I want to, and just after noon the next day, the "triangular eye" came in the rain.
Ji Beichen was preparing to shelter from the rain and have some lunch, he used his sleeves to block the rain, and was preparing to collect the hexagram stall. As soon as he looked up, he saw that the "triangular eye" was rushing towards him, and as soon as he came up, he overturned his hexagram stall.
"Triangle Eyes" crossed his waist, pointed at Ji Beichen's nose and scolded: "Little Taoist, you are so bold!" I calculated a hexagram with you that day, and acted according to the hexagram you solved, but the result was a chicken and an egg, do you know how much time I delayed? How much money did it cost me? ”
