Chapter 2: The Death of the Immortals

Uncle Zhang was shocked by his own speculation, but recalling that this time he went out, except for the first day, that is, the day Dong Junqin appeared, he suffered a little trouble, and the next two days were smooth.

At that time, the Changyu pharmacist and the officials colluded to raise the price of medicine, and Emperor Chenyang cut off his financial route, and he held a grudge in his heart. Now Chongcaotang is an imperial businessman, and naturally acts on behalf of the emperor, and although the Dong family's family style is not upright, jealous and hateful, it will never conform to the crooked wind, so the procurement in the past three years has not been easy. It's a bit strange to think that these two days have gone smoothly.

Dong Junqin didn't answer Uncle Zhang's question, but continued to add about the needle: "Uncle Zhang, when you go to Lin Dingtang tomorrow to get medicine, ask if Lin Dingtang's master is not there." ”

"Why?" Uncle Zhang didn't understand.

Dong Junqin pointed to his shoulder and said: "Old Man Lin relied on acupuncture to push his family, and in the third generation, they will only brag about the past but no one will inherit the craftsmanship at all, let alone people outside." Although Lin Dingtang's business is big now, the old man has some regrets about the inheritance in his heart. When you go, you just said that you heard a doctor mention that you want to ask the old man to give you a gentle shoulder circumference. The old man should be happy to have someone invite him out of the mountain. ”

Guiyi Doctor is the name of Master Dong Junqin. His master is the elder of the first immortal sect in the Central Plains, Xuanqing Immortal. Due to historical reasons, it was inconvenient for the Xuanqing Immortals to go out of the mountain to treat diseases and save people, so the people in the medical Tao gave him such a name. In addition to the people of the Dong family and the high positions of the royal family, only the children of Tianqing and the people in the medical path know the relationship between the Dong family, the Xuanqing immortals, and the Guiyi doctor.

Now hearing Dong Junqin say this, Uncle Zhang is happy, but he is a little uncertain: "Young master, how can you be sure that they will sell us face?"

Dong Junqin said: "There are about 20 large and small medicine stores in Changyu, plus 37 other scattered medicine companies, and the competition is fierce in general. In addition, the emperor has set up a rule, they can't raise prices at will, why do you say these thirty-seven families rely on to gain a foothold in Changyu, where business and trade transactions are so developed?"

Uncle Zhang is a smart man, and when it comes to this, he already knows what Dong Junqin means.

Changyu's medicine market is divided into three categories: scattered medicine and pesticide dealers like Chongcaotang, who have their own medicine fields or secret recipes, or large medicine shops like Lin Dingtang, which are involved in all kinds of medicinal materials, and there are really not enough rare and exotic herbs that survive in the cracks and sell some rare and exotic herbs that do not have many users.

Changyu here, one side by the sea, one side by the mountain, and one side is the plain, the traffic is developed, and there are countless merchants and customers. Not only medicinal materials, but also a wide variety of materials, approaching the capital. In this environment, there are too many alternatives to everything, and even if you have one or two exclusive things, you can't sell them for a high price and make a lot of money. In addition, the price cannot be raised at will, and the foothold depends on nothing more than a popularity.

In the past few days, the people who have come to see Dong Junqin are all businessmen who have traveled all over the southeast and northwest all the year round, and they generally stay in Changyu for only three days. They grabbed the medicine and drank the medicine according to Dong Junqin's prescription, and they would definitely get better after three days. And once they catch the first one, they will know that several of these flavors are only available here, so they have to stock up on a lot of them before leaving. Coupled with the wide network of businessmen, the name of a doctor is self-evident when people are met along the way.

Dong Junqin has been nothing more than euphemistically promoting those pharmacists and pharmacies in the past few days. Businessmen also understand that the days of unscrupulous price increases will not be the mainstream of the general trend after all, so can the Dong family, the imperial businessman, not give them face when he does this?

Uncle Zhang patted his thigh and said in his heart: I really can't underestimate young people.

Just when Uncle Zhang was gradually relieved, something suddenly flew in from the window. Uncle Zhang was so frightened that he immediately jumped up and shouted to be careful. It's just that before he could call someone, he saw Dong Junqin stretch out his hand to take it, and a note appeared in his two fingers.

The note was not big, Dong Junqin took a look at it after unfolding it, and then frowned slightly.

Uncle Zhang felt that the atmosphere in the room was tense again: "What's the matter, something happened to Yanjiao?"

Dong Junqin folded the note back, got up and walked to the candlestick and burned it: "The Bai Yuan Master Immortal of the Azure Realm has passed away. ”

"Huh?!" Uncle Zhang was shocked, "Bai ...... Head of Bai Yuan...... Are you sure?"

Dong Junqin said: "Sure, Ah Fengchuan's letter will not be mistaken." ”

Uncle Zhang said: "No, the head of Bai Yuan's family reached the peak at a young age, how can he live longer than his master, right......?" It's just a year of confusion, how can it be...... I haven't heard of any discomfort before, why did the immortal suddenly pass away...... It shouldn't be......"

Dong Junqin said: "Uncle Zhang, when will the rest of the people arrive?"

Uncle Zhang calculated: "It's about noon tomorrow." What are your plans? Do you want to send a message to them overnight?"

Dong Junqin shook his head: "No, let them stop where they are and don't go any further." Tomorrow at noon, Dabao and I will go to the Azure Realm. ”

"Then ......" Tianqing Realm must be going, but, "Do you want to inform the master?"

Dong Junqin shook his head: "In less than two days, the palace will also know about this." Moreover, the head of Bai Yuan passed away, and the emperor wanted to mourn and probably sent his father to the Tianqing Realm. ”

"Will you send the master up the mountain?" Uncle Zhang pinched a pinch of mustache and said to himself, "Also, although Emperor Chenyang has escaped the chaos in the Azure Realm for a few years, he has a noble status after all, how can he personally go out of the palace to mourn a Jianghu person." It's not appropriate to send officials to go, and you can't let the Taoist priests of Changshengtai go. It's just our lord. ”

Dong Junqin said: "The people of Changshengtai will go even if they don't have an imperial order." By the way, Uncle Zhang, is Bitang's shopkeeper Han back?"

Uncle Zhang said: "You're back, are you ...... In person?"

Dong Junqin nodded: "I'll go now." ”

"I'll ...... you" Uncle Zhang didn't finish speaking, Dong Junqin waved his hand.

The two of them made a point, and Dong Junqin went downstairs to prepare to go out.

"Young Master, Bitang's shopkeeper Han ......" is very difficult to do, and the most difficult thing to do every year is the Han shopkeeper.

However, Dong Junqin looked like he was bound to win: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry." I'm not sure on the side, shopkeeper Han, there must be no problem. Let Dabao prepare, rest early tonight, I'm afraid there will be a busy few days in the next few days. ”

Leave Wangxue Tower, avoid the crowds on Main Street, turn three corners, and enter a quiet street. This is no longer the downtown area of Changyu, and most of the people who come and go are people who have something to do.

The night was dark, the candles were dim, and everyone went their own way, and no one made a sound.

When Dong Junqin saw the Bitang signboard, the guy at the door was humming a song boringly. The figure approached, and he looked up and was overjoyed to see a well-dressed son.

"Yo, this boy is alive when he sees him!" The guy was familiar with himself and warmly invited Dong Junqin in. Originally, I wanted to get straight to the point to find the shopkeeper Han, but the guy said: "Childe, what's wrong with you? Let the little one take a look! You look tired and nervous, you must have been on the road for several days." ”

Dong Junqin felt that this guy was a little interesting, so he nodded along with his words: "I have indeed been on the road for a few days, and I just arrived in Changyu." ”

"It's a long journey, but the little one understands. And you ...... "The guy has a mouth, his breath is weak and short, and the head of the yin and yang is the way, "but you are a rich and noble person at first glance, so your luck is extraordinarily good." No, our Bitang doctor today is the same disciple of Dr. Jiang and Dr. Jiang, the first doctor on the list of famous people in the rivers and lakes, and is known as the wonderful hand rejuvenation Gong Deshun. Let him show you, it's like a different person for three days. It's definitely better than Dong Jiaye Luzi who looks at the snow tower. ”

"Oh?" Dong Junqin raised his eyebrows, "Then I'm really lucky." ”

"Not really!" the man grinned as he opened the door to the inner room, revealing a man sitting inside.

This person looks like he is about thirty years old, with a pair of mustaches neatly combed, leaning sideways, holding a book in his left hand, resting on the desk with his right hand and tapping lightly: "This son's steps are heavy but a little unreal, his breath is slightly floating, and his inner void is very empty." ”

Dong Junqin said solemnly: "Doctor Gong doesn't need to take another look, or take a pulse or something?"

Gong Deshun closed his eyes and was silent, so the guy said again: "Childe doesn't know, he is a real master, don't talk about looking and hearing, you don't even need to open your eyes." ”

Dong Junqin pretended to be stunned and said, "Can you practice medicine without opening your eyes?" This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

The guy said proudly: "Childe, you look like this, you have just entered the rivers and lakes, and it is normal that you have never seen a master." Although our Dr. Gong is not the first in the world, there is no need for ordinary tricks with him. ”

Dong Junqin pretended to be taught: "Oh, it turns out that all the masters are like this. ”

"Of course. The guy said, Gong Deshun straightened up with his cooperation, "Have you heard of Dr. Guiyi? In the five years before Dr. Jiang was on the list, he was the number one doctor in the rivers and lakes." This Guiyi doctor not only does not open his eyes and does not take the pulse, but also can know where you are wrong from ten meters away, and then he can apply needles close to five meters, and the prescription will be opened and healed in one day. God. ”
