Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
The shopkeeper coughed and said, "The horns of the green carp themselves are tree roots, and they will change color after a long time. Speaking of which, the medicinal herbs are still aged for a long time, and the medicinal properties are better. Hun nodded. At this moment, a voice smiled faintly and said, "Aren't you afraid that the medicine is too good and heals people to death?"
The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he showed even more anger, and when he saw this disrespectful scholar, his face was already gloomy. In his eyes, this scholar clearly said such irritating words in revenge for being rejected from the city by himself last night.
Li Qing just smiled and said to himself: "Although Ma Langen is also good, its value is seven or eight times worse than that of green carp horn, and its medicinal effect is also quite different. Moreover, it is not only less effective, but also used with caution by people with spleen and stomach deficiency, which is more harmful to the body. ”
"If it is an ordinary person, it is just that, although the efficacy of the medicine is slightly worse, it is also effective, and if you have the ability to recover yourself, you can be cured soon. But this medicine is clearly for the elderly, so you are not afraid that the efficacy of the medicine will be a little worse, resulting in an incurable illness and a life?"
Li Qing said slowly, and said: "Even if you are really cured, but this Ma Langen is harmful to those with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, for the elderly, the spleen and stomach are not as good as the spleen and stomach of young people. ”
After he finished speaking, the shopkeeper was already pale, and there was a faint look of fear in his eyes. And Hun was even more furious, his fists clenched. Li Qing said calmly: "Captain Hun, although the green carp horn is good, but it still costs more than twenty silver coins, I know that a medicinal herb only needs three silver coins, and with a few herbs, its medicinal effect is not inferior to the green carp horn." ”
"In addition, this herb and those herbs add up to a total of five silver coins, which saves a lot. Everyone in the pharmacy was quite surprised, and they only looked at this young scholar with a calm expression and slowly said a lot of medicinal materials. "He is so familiar with medicinal herbs?" "Who is this scholar?" "He doesn't seem to be very old. "Could it be that Liu Wuye's new disciple?"
Li Qing didn't pay attention to the discussion of others, he reported the medicinal materials and medicinal properties one by one, and after he finished speaking, he bowed his hand slightly and turned around to leave the medicine hall. The reason why he pointed out this incident and let Hun change the medicinal herbs was that he didn't have much ill feeling towards this gatekeeper, and secondly, he was really afraid that after the withered tree root Ma Langen replaced the green carp horn, the medicinal effect would weaken, and it would hurt the stomach, and finally kill people.
When he went to Pei Xiang's Mansion to see how many medicinal materials he had sought, Li Qing was actually quite anxious in his heart, so he didn't delay any longer. However, he had not been able to walk out of the country when there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Turning his head, Hun had already caught up. "Li Langjun. ”
Hun stood in front of him, arched his hands, and said: "Last night was rude, today Lang Jun repays his grievances with virtue, which makes people very grateful." Hun hereby pleaded guilty, hoping that Li Langjun would forgive me for my rudeness yesterday. Li Qing shook his head slightly, and said: "You are also responsible, if I really enter the city so easily, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty is too simple." ”
"Besides, if you are really a villain and do evil in Luoyang City, and you find out at that time, you will inevitably be exiled from your official position. With that, Li Qing waved his hand and was about to leave. I wanted to speak and stopped, after all, I just bowed down.
Just as Li Qing took a few steps, he suddenly heard a low shout behind him. "Uhh
The person who came was a gentleman with oily hair and powder, he was dressed in a blue round-necked brocade suit, wearing a jade soft foot head, and playing with jade walnuts in his hand. Li Qing only felt that this person was a little familiar, and then thought of what he had just said, thinking that he was one of the few sons by the moat last night.
"Okay, you poor scholar, you actually fooled us with that note written by a girl who doesn't know which!" The brocade boy said angrily: "Even if I ran into you, hand over the note quickly, this son will not embarrass you, just break one of your hand bones." ”
Li Qing's face was like frost, and he sneered slightly. Seeing that the benefactor was in trouble, he hurriedly caught up, blocked in front of Li Qing, and said to the son: "Yuan Gongzi, in broad daylight, is there no royal law? ”
Yuan Gongzi tilted his head to look at him, and sneered: "Any one who guards the door can also become the captain of Zhiguo?" Hey, even if you are a school captain, you have to weigh this son, my uncle is Lord Cheng Yuan in the imperial history, and he is an important minister under the command of Guogong (Li Fuguo), get out of the way, otherwise you won't even be able to keep your job in the army. ”
His complexion changed slightly, but he was upright and upright, and he still didn't retreat, he just gritted his teeth and said: "Don't say it's you, even if Lord Yuan is here, you should be reasonable?" "Be reasonable?" Yuan Gongzi laughed, took a step back, and said, "Reason for him." ”
A black-faced strong man in his forties came out behind Yuan Yanei, and as soon as he took a step, he rushed towards Hun. Hun's father Hun Shizhi is the general under the command of Guo Ziyi, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, Hun is the second son of Hun Shizhi, his grandfather was also the general of the garrison on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and his family martial arts came from the army, which is quite extraordinary.
He is only twenty-one or twelve years old, and he is already at the peak of his cultivation of qi and blood, and in another year and a half, he will be able to step into the inner strength cultivation and enter the range of first-class masters in the rivers and lakes. As soon as he bent his steps, he stood on the stump and put his hand on the other party. After all, Luoyang City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is not good to do it directly, so the two are just competing.
Although Li Qing often meets first-class masters, it is only Wang Yuan, Fan Tengyun, Zhang Weng and others. There are only first-class masters next to those who are above the third grade. Although this Yuan Yanei is the nephew of Cheng Yuanzai in the imperial history, he is not the imperial historian after all, and there is naturally no first-class master beside him.
This black-faced strong man is also a cultivator who carries qi and blood. For ordinary martial arts practitioners, carrying qi and blood is a second-rate master of the rivers and lakes. The two of them each put their arms on their shoulders, carrying qi and blood, and their faces turned red. "A little bit of a skill. Yuan Yanei sneered, waved his hand, and the three people behind him stepped forward.
The martial arts attainments of carrying qi and blood are also among the second-rate masters of the rivers and lakes, which is not very common, and only the black-faced strong man next to Yuan Ya can carry qi and blood, and these three people are just martial arts practitioners who have polished their muscles and bones, and they have not been able to carry qi and blood.
In addition to these three martial arts practitioners who have obviously polished their muscles and bones and stood on the pile gong, several other domestic servants are also strong and strong, and they came up together. Yuan Yanei said hesitantly: "Take down this scholar, search his body, and break his hand bones by the way." ”
Li Qing seemed to be smiling, and said coldly: "It's just by the way?" As soon as the words fell, the first person who practiced martial arts stepped forward, although this person had not cultivated to carry qi and blood, but his pace was stable, his shot was powerful, and he was only a third-rate master in the rivers and lakes.
It's just that before he touched the corner of Li Qing's shirt, his complexion suddenly changed, the soles of his feet almost left the ground, and he flew back more than a few feet. This human face
Lu was horrified, and her face turned pale. The other two did the same, and they didn't touch the corners of Li Qing's clothes, so they flew back, as if they were about to fly up, and they retreated.
As for the other dozen or so domestic servants, Li Qing just waved his hand, and the sleeves of his green shirt floated in front of him, and these domestic servants all lay on the ground, screaming and shouting one by one. Li Qing clapped his hands, showed a faint smile, and looked at Yuan Yanei opposite, with a look of banter on his face.
Yuan Yanei is no matter how straw he is, and he already understands that the young scholar in front of him is obviously a first-class master, at least a step higher than Chen Dong, who carries qi and blood beside him, but he is afraid that he is a master of internal strength. His face was slightly pale, and he hurriedly shouted, "Chen Dong, come and save me." ”
Chen Dong, who was competing with Hun Dong, also knew about the changes here, withdrew his strength, and hurriedly retreated. Hun didn't take the opportunity to hurt him, he also withdrew his strength and retreated to Li Qing's side, his eyes faintly showed a look of surprise, this young scholar was clearly a weak scholar, and there was no sign of practicing martial arts, how could he have such a high ability?
Thinking of recent times, it seems that there are many self-proclaimed cultivators, all of whom have not polished their muscles and bones, have not stood on stakes, and have no signs of tempering their physique, but they are all extraordinary in martial arts, could it be that this scholar is also such a character?
Hun looked at the domestic servants lying on the ground, and then at the three strong martial arts practitioners, and after thinking for a moment, he had already concluded that he had no means to defeat this group of people easily. That is to say, this young scholar's martial arts seem to be higher than his own.
I can't help but be shocked, he is also a young man, he has already cultivated to the peak of carrying qi and blood, even if he cultivates his internal strength, it is just around the corner, and he has never surrendered compared to the young heroes in the rivers and lakes. How could such a young scholar, who looked gentle and elegant, and had no trace of standing on a pile to practice martial arts, actually have such a high level of martial arts?
Even a rising star in the rivers and lakes can't match this scholar! He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Li Qing, and it was difficult to hide the horror in his heart. This is even more true of the black-faced strong man opposite, he has been practicing martial arts for decades, and he is only a second-rate master.
But the scholar on the other side, although he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, has martial arts that surpass his own, and he is also a first-class master, but he is still a famous young man in the martial arts. Chen Dong scolded secretly, and also understood that this time his son-in-law kicked the iron plate.
Li Qing's smile was undiminished, faint but calm. Since the early stage of cultivation, in terms of the degree of true qi alone, it is far better than the great martial arts masters. If you use the ability to release your true qi, with the true qi that has been condensed by the spirit, it is enough to kill people in the air. It's just that in front of everyone's eyes, he didn't want to use his true qi to release his true qi and kill people.
Li Qing faintly noticed that some eyes in the crowd fell on him, maybe it was the rumored person from the Tiantai. It's just that since someone provoked him, he was also forced to do it, and Si Tiantai couldn't stop it. "By the way, break the hand bones, it's really a frog at the bottom of the well!" Li Qing just laughed and walked forward.
Yuan Yanei's face turned pale with fright, and he retreated again and again, Chen Dong also protected Yuan Yanei and retreated, but he was still calm, and shouted: "My son-in-law is the nephew of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, if you hurt him, you will not want to live in this Luoyang City." There is no fighting in Luoyang City, and the defenders are coming soon, don't mess around, otherwise the defenders will be able to correct you on the spot. ”
Li Qing didn't pay too much attention, his footsteps did not stop, and slowly walked towards the Yuan Ya. Yuan Yanei gritted his teeth, dissatisfied with Chen Dong retreating so much, and suddenly pushed Chen Dong away. Chen Dong had no choice but to smile bitterly, but he had to take advantage of the situation, his eyes were cold, and his palms were towards Li Qing.
