The yellow-clothed disciple led Lu Shaoyu through the wide square, bypassed the main hall, and walked towards the back of the peak from the other side.

All the way around and around, up and down the peak, the mountain road is getting more and more remote. It was estimated that more than half an hour later, the two came to a valley sandwiched between two mountains.

"Well, the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines has arrived. The yellow-clothed disciple pointed and said. took Lu Shaoyu directly into the valley.

There is nothing peculiar about the valley, the surrounding mountains are dense woods, and the valley floor is a flat land. The land is divided into patches of medicinal fields, which are filled with a variety of medicinal herbs.

On the right side of the valley there is a small lake of clear water, and there are three wooden houses side by side next to the lake.

The yellow-clothed disciple took Lu Shaoyu to the wooden house in the middle, and bursts of strong medicinal and smoky smells suddenly came out of the house.

"Tuk tuk. Tuk tuk. ”

The yellow-clothed disciple knocked on the wooden door and said loudly inside, "Elder Liu, the medicine boy you are looking for has been brought here for you." ”

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps behind the door, and the blackened wooden door creaked open, revealing a disheveled head from inside. Then, there was the face of an old man with a face covered in soot.

What came out was an old man, gray hair messily mixed with his beard. His face was haggard, wrinkles were as deep as a knife and an axe, his shabby robe exuded a strong smell of medicine, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had taken a shower.

The old man was dirty, holding an unknown herb and a mortar in his hands, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot, I am afraid that this was the result of staying up late all year round.

Although the old man was sloppy, his expression was haggard and sluggish. But Lu Shaoyu caught a faint ray of sharpness in his eyes, the kind of fierceness that is enough to threaten his own safety.

This is an intuition about danger that Lu Shaoyu cultivated after experiencing many dangers in his previous life. Although the other party didn't show it at all, Lu Shaoyu could still sense it clearly.

This old man, it's not easy!

Lu Shaoyu secretly commented in his heart.

The sloppy old man rolled his eyes, glanced at Lu Shaoyu up and down, nodded slightly, pointed to the wooden house on the left, and said in a hoarse voice: "That's your room, just put your things away, I have something to tell you." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and closed the door directly, never even glancing at the yellow-clothed disciple from the corner of his eye from beginning to end.

The yellow-clothed disciple smiled slightly, as if he knew Elder Liu's strange surname extremely well, and he didn't care, just patted Lu Shaoyu lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I'll trouble you in the future, do it well, and do it yourself." After saying that, he turned around and left directly.

Glancing at his back suspiciously, Lu Shaoyu secretly thought, "This person seems to have something hiding from me." Then he shook his head again, glanced at the wooden house in the middle, and turned to the wooden house on the left.

There was only a bed, a chair and a small table in the cabin, and nothing else. The ground was full of dust, and no one had come to clean it for a long time.

Lu Shaoyu found a broom from the corner of the door and quickly swept the dust off the bed, then put the burden on the bed, laid it simply, and before he had time to clean other places, he hurried out of the door and walked towards the wooden house in the middle.

knocked on the door, and Liu Changsha's hoarse voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Lu Shaoyu pushed the door in, the room was dimly lit, and there were rows of wooden shelves all around. The shelves were full of bottles and clay pots of various sizes, air-dried medicinal herbs, worn-out book scrolls, and messy medicinal stones.

The whole room was in chaos, with a thick layer of soot, and there was a large medicine pod on the far left side. There was a raging flame burning under the ding, and smoke was rising from the ding, and a small chimney expelled the black smoke from the room.

Between the rooms, there was a thick smell of smoke and medicine.

The old man was sitting next to the medicine pod, concentrating on grinding the herbs in the bowl with a stone pestle, and when he saw Lu Shaoyu coming in, he didn't raise his head, and asked hoarsely, "What's your name?"

"Lu Shaoyu. Lu Shaoyu replied.

The old man nodded, and said: "Well, your task is very simple, just help me take care of the medicinal fields outside, there is a book on the table, which introduces the surnames and characteristics of various medicinal materials, and in the future, you will plant according to what it says, and you can take it back and memorize it firmly." ”

Lu Shaoyu looked at the table next to him, and sure enough, he saw a fist-thick book on the table. On the cover of the book is written the words "Compendium of Thousand Medicines".

"If I need any herbs in the future, you can help me pick them back. Normally, this pharmacy and the house on the right are not allowed to enter without my permission. Every morning and evening, there will be disciples who bring food to the mouth of the valley, you go and get the things back and put them outside the pharmacy. ”

"As long as you take care of the medicine field, you can usually do whatever you like, go wherever you like, and I won't care about you. Okay, let's take the book back. Elder Liu said in a hoarse voice, waving his hand and motioning for him to leave.

Lu Shaoyu secretly said in his heart: "This old man has a strange temper. Nodding in response, he picked up the book on the table and turned to leave the pharmacy, closing the door.

The old man didn't lift his eyes, and fiddled with his things.

Lu Shaoyu returned to his wooden house, put the book on the bed, pushed open the window, looked at the green medicine field outside, and chuckled in his heart: "In the future, I will be a medicine farmer who manages the medicine field here." ”

After a long pause, he sat back on the bed, picked up the book and flipped through it.

The book records a large number of medicinal materials, illustrated and illustrated, and is accompanied by various annotations of the surnames of the medicine, the efficacy of the medicine, the living environment, the joy of yin and yang, and the love of tide and dryness.

Lu Shaoyu looked at it for a while and then became interested. He doesn't like to study pharmacology, he only dabbled in the preliminary knowledge in his previous life, he didn't study it in depth, and he wasn't interested in these things, so he naturally didn't have the mood to look at them. Moreover, some of these medicinal herbs are recognized, but the names are slightly different from those of previous lives.

"Forget it, let's take a look at it later. Clean the room first. Lu Shaoyu muttered to himself, shook his head, stood up, and took a broom to clean the room.

It took him nearly half an hour to clean up the messy room. He left the hut with a bucket of water, and went to the lake behind the house to fetch a bucket of clean lake water and returned to the house.

After six days of driving, he has never had the opportunity to take a bath, and he does not have the cultivation that can separate the dust like before, so he naturally accumulates a lot of dust and sweat on his body, and he is very uncomfortable.

He took a bath comfortably, changed into clean clothes, and it was already dark at this time, and he heard someone shouting outside the valley, and when he listened carefully, it was a disciple who brought food.

Lu Shaoyu pushed the door out and ran out of the valley, only to see a rice basket on a flat stone platform at the mouth of the valley, which contained steaming meals. The disciple who delivered the meal had already left.

Lu Shaoyu carried the rice basket back to the valley, put the rice basket in front of the pharmacy, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Elder, it's time to eat." ”

After shouting, he ignored whether the people inside heard or not, took out a vegetable and meat and a big bowl of rice from the rice basket, and went back to his room.

After eating, wash the rice bowls and plates with clean water, lay on the bed, climb the mountain for a long time, and then fall asleep in a blink of an eye.

On the first day of his life in Xuanyang Sect, he spent it peacefully!
