The God of Martial Arts

Chapter 5 Burial and Drug Purchase

After the death of a person in Anyuan County, the general family members have to guard the spirit for three days, lest the ghost of the deceased cannot find his family when he goes home and becomes a lonely ghost. This period is also the time for relatives, friends, and colleagues to come to worship.

And three days later, it was the process of burying the deceased and putting the coffin into the grave. Xiang Yang was only a 15-year-old boy. Although he knew some martial arts, he was not very good at these tedious things. Thanks to Mr. Liu who took care of everything for him.

Xiang Daniu’s tomb is placed on Yuanbao Mountain, more than a dozen miles away from the county seat. The mountain is not high and covers an area of ​​only tens of miles. However, because the mountain is shaped like an ingot, it is considered by many people to be a geomantic treasure. Burying the ancestors here, not to mention being rich and powerful, can also bless future generations.

In front of the black soil bag, yellow paper money was scattered all over the ground, and a long bluish-white tombstone was erected. The glorious deeds of Xiang Daniu fighting bandits and bandits and beheading two people inscribed by the famous stone carving master belong to the life of the characters.

Xiang Yang wore a white cloth on his head and white filial piety on his body, with a solemn face and dignified eyes, respectfully kowtowed three times towards Xiang Daniu's tombstone, and said silently in his heart,

"From today onwards, I am Xiang Yang. If my father has a spirit in heaven, he must bless me to find the mastermind behind the scenes, kill my enemies, and avenge you."

Beside Xiang Yang, there are the gleaming Yanling knife stuck on the ground and the wine gourd used by Xiang Daniu to make wine when he was alive. The cool wind blows, and the green tassels hanging from the handle of the long knife swing, adding to the bleakness meaning.

Xiang Yang kowtowed, got up and drew the knife, picked up the wine gourd, opened the stopper, poured a gourd of clear and sweet wine on the Yanling knife, and then the wine flowed down the shiny and sharp blade to the ground, It can be regarded as offering sacrifices to Xiang Daniu with sword and wine.

Behind Xiang Yang, Mr. Liu in Tsing Yi was a little sad and melancholy when he saw this. Although Xiang Daniu's life was uneventful, he changed his destiny after all. A hero who is praised by the county lord can be regarded as a worthwhile life.

"Uncle Liu, thank you for your help these two days. My nephew will set up a table at home some other day. Invite the elders to have a meal. It's a way of expressing your affection. Please don't be disgusted."

Mr. Liu nodded with a smile. Seeing Xiang Yang's resolute face, he felt relieved. The death of his relatives did not break down this young man. Very good, so Daniel can feel at ease under Jiuquan.

After returning to the county seat and entering Dongcheng Street, Xiang Yang found an excuse to separate from Mr. Liu, and walked to Huichun Hall alone.

Huichuntang is the most famous pharmacy and medical center in the county. The owner, An Daoquan, has excellent medical skills. He once treated a thick man with a bowl-sized pustule on his back for free, and successfully saved his life. , and became a tranquil doctor with both medical skills and medical ethics.

Xiang Yang grew up, and when he was infected with cold, he usually went to Huichuntang to get medicine. He usually took two or three doses of the medicine and he was very conscientious, so this time he needed to take decoction orally when he practiced Iron Crotch Kung Fu, and he also went to Huichuntang to prepare it, so as not to Encountered the situation of unscrupulous merchants selling counterfeit medicines.

Standing at the door of Huichun Hall, looking at the patients coming in and out, Xiang Yang lifted the Yanling knife in his hand and walked in with his head held high.

As soon as he entered the door, a clerk from a pharmacy greeted him. Seeing that Xiang Yang was dressed in filial piety, he had some bad luck in his eyes, but his face did not show it. He immediately turned a corner.

"Is this young man here to see a doctor or to fetch medicine? For those who see a doctor, I recommend Dr. Zhao from the clinic. If you fetch medicine, the little one can help you."

Xiang Yang's eyes were sharp, and he saw the bad luck and disgust flashing in this guy's eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it, just nodded with a sullen face,

"I'll get the medicine, and you follow the prescription I wrote. If it's short of weight or adulterated with fake medicine, I'm the only one to ask."

He was worried that this young man would be jealous of his own people who wore filial piety, and he would not take medicine seriously, so his tone was blunt.

The clerk glanced at the Yanling knife in Xiang Yang's hand with some fear, and quickly bent over to lead Xiang Yang to the medicine cabinet, took a glance at the yellow paper Xiang Yang handed over, and began to grab the medicine.

And Xiang Yang looked around and carefully looked at Huichun Hall. The huge space was divided into two. He was in a pharmacy. The walls on the left and right were full of medicinal materials, and his nose was full of medicinal materials. The medicine cabinets were made of precious wood. Well built and well protected.

Beside the buddy who fetched the medicine for him, there are four other buddies in the same attire who are entertaining the medicine collector. After seeing a doctor here, I grabbed the medicine and went back to eat.

On the other side is the doctor's room, which is covered by a dark yellow curtain, and the figures inside can be vaguely seen. They should all be patients waiting for diagnosis. Xiang Yang counted and clicked his tongue secretly, no matter what In which world, being a doctor is all about making money.

The medicine catcher was very fast, and it didn't take long to grab all the medicinal materials Xiang Yang needed, packed them in yellow paper, and handed them to Xiang Yang.
"Young man, the medicine is ready. It's absolutely worth the weight. The medicine is effective, but the price is a bit expensive. It's 25 taels in total. You are a big customer, and the small ones are the masters. If you don't pay the three cents, it will be 25 taels. "

As soon as Xiang Yang opened his eyes angrily, he was about to start scolding. His grandma was burying his father at home. After deducting the necessary expenses, there were only more than 70 taels of silver left, and there were less than three pairs of them. How could he practice kung fu?

The medicine catcher is a sensible person, knowing that Xiang Yang is ignorant of medicine and the details of medicinal materials, he quickly explained, "Young man, calm down, the dodder, cistanche, schisandra, Polygala and snake front seed in your prescription are not expensive, the key It’s the seven-coin Polygonum multiflorum, which takes up most of the money, and the little one definitely didn’t trick you.”

Xiang Yang thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Many of the medicinal materials used in this iron crotch medicinal soup were common, but Polygonum multiflorum was the most important. Also pay attention to, the order of heat is a secret method.

"Forget it, give me the medicinal materials, and I will reward you with three coins. If I come to grab the medicine in the future, I will come to you."

After taking the medicine bag, he took out 25 taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the boy. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and gave him three coins.

In the future, Xiang Yang will definitely have to practice kung fu frequently, and the medicinal soup needed for cultivation has a lot to do with it. This guy is not bad, but the key is that he is timid and dare not catch fake medicines or inferior products with poor efficacy to fool him.

The man took the three coins with a smile on his face, but secretly he let out a sound. He saved a full three hundred coins for Xiang Yang, but in the end he rewarded himself with three coins.

Of course, what makes the guy even more shameless is that Xiang Yang is young and obviously filial. Under such circumstances, he still grabs some nourishing and aphrodisiac drugs. son.

Xiang Yang didn't know what the buddy was thinking, otherwise he would have been beaten violently. He has been a man for two lives, and he has been a chicken for 40 years in total. How can he be so romantic and happy?
