Only then did the shopkeeper realize that he had asked the wrong question. Hurriedly clenched his fists and explained: "I, when I was a child, the plague in the village killed many people, I was determined to study medicine, and I have studied for decades, and I can't help but be a little excited when I see some rare herbs, but it makes the little brother smile!"

Lu Yu also bowed back and said, "The shopkeeper is serious, he has been studying the way to save the world all his life, but now that he is old, he doesn't want to ask about the world anymore, so it is inconvenient to tell him." Please forgive the shopkeeper!"

"Little brother, I haven't had time to introduce myself, my surname is Qian, so I'll call me the money shopkeeper, I don't know what to call the little brother?"

"Down, Lu Yu. ”

The money shopkeeper chattered a few times and asked, "Brother Lu, dare to ask this snow lotus, do you still sell it?"

Lu Yu was a little uncomfortable when he heard that the money shopkeeper was always commensurate with brothers, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "Money shopkeeper, you are much older than me, and your status is prominent, so it is probably a little inappropriate to be a brother." ”

The shopkeeper smiled indifferently and replied: "Brother Lu, don't live in these rituals, we are fellow believers, so there is nothing to worry about." And my principle is that there is no class of salvation, whether you are a royal prince or noble, or poor, I will do my best!"

I thought to myself: It seems that this money shopkeeper is a kind person, although the Tianshan Snow Lotus is very rare, but it is useless to put it in his hand, it is better to give it to him, and it can be regarded as a good deed. Then he said: "Money shopkeeper, do you have an alchemy furnace here? Can you lend me a use? I will help you refine this thing!"

The money shopkeeper was overjoyed and led him into the backyard. I saw a high roof Dan furnace standing in the courtyard, and stepped forward to caress the outer wall of the lower Dan furnace, which is made of copper tripod, although it is not as good as the porcelain jade furnace in the grass house, but it can also be used.

"What's the matter, Brother Lu, what's wrong with my Dan furnace?"

Lu Yu waved his hand and explained: "No, no, you don't know, shopkeeper, our alchemy uses internal force to heat and solidify it, so that the medicinal properties can be sealed intact, I'm just afraid of ......" The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but the shopkeeper Qian understood the meaning.

Seeing that the shopkeeper nodded and signaled, he was relieved, took a deep breath, and casually threw a snow lotus into the Dan furnace. A faint light floated around his body, and then he pushed with both hands, and the two palms were surrounded by true qi, and they touched the outer wall of the Dan furnace, and the originally dark Dan furnace instantly ignited a raging fire. Lu Yu controlled the fire with one hand and the snow lotus in the Dan furnace with the other. The money shopkeeper next to him clapped his hands when he saw it. It lasted for about ten minutes, and when the time came, when the time came, his hands were closed, and a light smoke floated from the top of the stove, and then a smell of medicine came out. Seeing that it had been refined, he took a breath, and as soon as he closed his hands, he dispersed the true qi around his body, and the Dan furnace also faded into flames, and three pills flew out of the furnace. Seeing this, the money shopkeeper hurriedly took out the medicine box and carefully packed it. And Lu Yu was already sweating profusely, and with the support of the shopkeeper, he sat down at the table and chair on the side to rest for a while.

The shopkeeper took out one from the medicine box, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "Well, Brother Lu is really a master, these pills are smooth and shiny in appearance, and there is no smell when you smell them carefully, and you can see that the medicinal power in them is very complete." ”

Lu Yu showed a hint of relief on his face, adjusted his breath slightly, and replied: "The shopkeeper is smiling!"

"Brother Lu, you rest here for a while, I'll go make you a cup of tea!"

Seeing the shopkeeper walk away, he took a few breaths of air. I thought to myself: Thanks to the fact that I have learned how to use the true qi in my body simply with my junior sister over the years, otherwise I would have to embarrass the entire Tianshan Sect today.

After a while, the money shopkeeper put a box and a cup of tea on the table, and Lu Yu first took a small sip of tea. Then hit the small box, just opened it and emitted bursts of golden light, and looked at it, only to see that the box was full of gold, anyone who saw so much gold would be moved, let alone his own mountain village boy. He had never seen so much gold before, so he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly closed the box.

Seeing his fierce reaction, the shopkeeper asked in surprise, "What's the matter, Brother Lu, these are not enough here?"

Lu Yu hurriedly got up and bowed deeply, explaining, "Money Shopkeeper, if it weren't for the fact that I am penniless now, I would never exchange these herbs for money with you. Master and Uncle often told me that learning skills is used to help the common people, not to make money. I will never be able to take these treasures of yours. ”

The money shopkeeper repeatedly stuffed the gold to Lu Yu, but he was rejected one after another, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Money shopkeeper, you really don't need so much, just give some broken silver!"

The money shopkeeper turned his head, took out a gold ingot and a money bag from his arms, and took out the pill that had just been refined from the box and placed it in front of Lu Yu. I just wanted to excuse myself, but I was interrupted.

Brother Lu, it's okay if you don't collect gold, but these pills are all refined by you. If you don't accept this, I'm afraid you won't give me this face. When we come out to do business, we must pay attention to the word 'integrity', and we will never take other people's things for nothing!"

Seeing that he was resolute, he had to accept it. The money shopkeeper was also relieved to see this, and the two chatted for a few words, and when they saw that the sky was getting darker, they realized that the sun had set, so they said goodbye to the shopkeeper. Before leaving, the shopkeeper Qian stuffed a wooden sign to Lu Yu and asked: "Brother Lu, you and I are destined, if you encounter any difficulties under the mountain in the future, just come to me, although my Qian family is not as good as those high-ranking officials and eunuchs, I can be regarded as a party in this Lingzhou City!"

Lu Yu put away the wooden card, and when he left, he realized that the money shopkeeper was the owner of the largest medicine hall in the entire Lingzhou City, and he won the hearts of the people. I couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if I had the opportunity in the future, I would definitely introduce to my uncle.

Looking up at the sky, it's not too early to see that it's not too early, but you can't forget the business. With a little broken memory, I finally found the vendor from before. Seeing that the vendor had begun to clean up his stall, he hurriedly ran forward, pointed to the emerald green hairpin on the ground, and asked, "Boss, how many silver taels do you have for this hairpin?"

When the vendor heard the sound, he put down the goods in his hand and looked up to see that it was the customer who had left earlier. Five fingers stretched out and said, "Fifty taels." "Give all the money bags in your hands to the vendors. The peddler weighed it, counted it and found it correct, then teased, "But you want to give it to the little girl from before?"

He took the hairpin, put it away, and nodded in response. The peddler said jokingly, "It seems that that girl is the little brother's sweetheart!" After saying that, he smiled and packed up the goods and left.

Lu Yu was still a little shy and just wanted to explain, but the vendor had already walked away. Seeing that the sunset was gradually setting, he remembered his senior sister who was still sleeping in the inn, so he hurriedly turned around and walked in the direction of the inn.

On the peak of Qixia, in the grass house of the back mountain. An old man held the wine jug tightly in his hand, looking at the sunset gradually falling outside the window, his face had a hint of desolation, but the depths of his eyes were very transparent, as if he could see through the operation of heaven and earth, and all things lived and died. This old man is "Baicaosheng". Ten years of time don't seem to have left any traces on him, it's still so weird, but only those who are familiar with him know that there is a trace of kindness in this eccentricity, and a trace of glory in the vicissitudes of life. Looking at the fading sunset, as if drunk, he said to himself: "Lu Yu, this kid, has come to me every day for so many years, but today he ...... Could it be that after ten years, this method has always been useless? After all, the operation of heaven and earth cannot be changed by human beings? Man is born to accept his fate......" The words were intermittent, and there was a little bitterness on his face. He stared out the window with his eyes blazing, and then took a sip of turbid wine into his throat. "The sky is silent and the four seasons are moving, and the earth is silent and all things are born!" just two sentences spread around the grass hut......

The scenery below the mountain is also slowly sinking. Lu Yu walked on the somewhat lonely street, and after a few steps, his stomach screamed a few times. muttered alone: "Senior sister should be hungry too, why don't you go eat something first, and bring some back by the way." After saying that, he went to the restaurant.

As night falls, every house is lit up with high lanterns, as if to welcome the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Alas, the guest officer is alone! Lu Yu was stopped by a shouting shopkeeper, and just wanted to get away and leave. I only heard the shopkeeper say again: "Big official, our restaurant is also one of the best in Lingzhou City, the chef's craftsmanship is not there, do you want to come in and try it!"

Looking up, I saw a plaque carved with three big characters of "Drunken Dream Building", and there was a dragon and a phoenix coiled around, the whole plaque was golden and bright, and it was not an ordinary restaurant at a glance. Thinking that he had never been in or out of such a venue, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The shopkeeper glanced at Lu Yu's expression, and said, "Official, you come with me!" Before entering the restaurant, he felt like a palace, surrounded by golden light. In the center of the restaurant is a stage, and some actors are singing and dancing on the stage, and the tables next to the stage are also sitting on some noble people, all of whom are wearing gold and silver. Naturally, there are some charming and enchanting maikos around them, and you can see that all of them are greedy for beauty. Lu Yu didn't stay long, and followed the shopkeeper up the stairs to the second floor......
