fairy cage

Chapter 22 Interview
In Danfangshidian, the smell of fishy smell, sulfur and saltpeter is even more prevalent.

Standing at the door, Yu Lie felt as if he was at the entrance of a slaughterhouse.

Then, his eyelids trembled again, because there was a sudden scream in the stone hall.

A few Taoist boys who had worked well were suddenly entangled in the hair of the pregnant female Taoist, picked them up, and then threw them into the alchemy cauldron.

The screams sounded one after another, not just two or three, but a full stereotype!

Suan Tou Nose also saw this scene, and suddenly asked: "What, what is this for?"

The smiling Danfang Daoist at the door restrained his smile, the other party glanced at him, and snorted coldly at the corner of his mouth: "A group of idiots dared to move and sneak around when Master Dantu was concocting alchemy."

Danfang Daotong shook his head: "I thought my lord was lucky today, and he could save a few deaths. I didn't expect that there are still many people looking for death every month."

Yu Lie and Suantoubi were stunned when they heard this, and immediately realized it.

The tiger elephant is so huge that it can't be cooked in a big cauldron, so it has to be carried and cut by the Taoist boys.

The meaning of the leading Taoist should be that the Taoist in the stone palace, someone stole the flesh and blood of the seventh-rank monster just now, and was discovered by the female Taoist on the cloud platform as a punishment.

But Yu Lie immediately became suspicious again: "Every month there is alchemy, and every month someone steals medicine... Are there really so many people who are not afraid of death?"

The garlic nose next to him also had the same doubts.The face with the bulbous nose turned pale, and he raised his head to exchange glances with Yu Lie, his lips moved.

But both of them wisely didn't say another word, but looked away, and caught up with the Taoist Danfang who led the way.

Daoist Danfang had already turned around, turned his back to the two of them and said:
"After you have opened your eyes, hurry up and catch up! Master Dantu's alchemy day happens to be the day when the hall masters of the alchemy halls meet. Now I will lead you to pay homage to the mountain, so you don't have to run around one by one."

Yu Lie strode around and replied: "Yes." He tightened his Taoist robe.

Although the fire in the stone hall was boiling, and many Taoist boys were working in full swing, but for some reason, the hall became more and more gloomy and bitter, making people feel no warmth at all, and the air became damp and cold.

Yu Lie and Suantou followed the leading Taoist, walking like ants in the huge stone hall, and soon got into the dark corridor and came to a basement.

The basement is not an ordinary cavern, but connected to the lobby of the stone hall above. The feet of the eight huge furnaces sank in and became the beams and pillars of the basement.

There is a figure sitting cross-legged under each furnace, who seems to be in charge of the furnace for the alchemy female Taoist above.

However, this group of people was not concentrating, and there was a lot of noise in the cave, rattling like frogs.

The first time Yu Lie stepped into the cave, he heard someone laughing loudly: "It seems that my lord's alchemy is stable, and today I only took eight medicine men as introductions."

"Jie Jie, this way, I don't have to waste my favor and go to other dao houses to beg for slave boys."

When Yu Lie and Suantou stepped into the cave, the noisy conversation stopped abruptly.

The two stood at the door, and their eyes fell on them in a blink of an eye, looking at them from head to toe.

The Danfang Daoist who led the way was no longer as casual and brisk as before, but hurriedly moved towards the eight hall masters under the pedestal of the furnace, and shouted:
"Dianmao boy in the room, brought the two newcomers here, and met the hall masters."

After the leading Taoist finished speaking, there were rustling voices in the cave, and someone laughed sharply: "Young people in the town, there is another big guest here."

"Which subordinate is still short of people and has vacancies? Recently, my Linjiatang is only short of medicine slaves and hunters, not boys. Not to mention comfortable positions, I don't even have a difficult position."

A burst of small discussions resounded in the cave.
Yu Lie listened expectantly, and finally heard someone say slowly:

"A few months ago, there was a junior in the hall who didn't live up to his expectations. He wrote a good prescription and took it, and died. I have always had an empty seat, and there are quite a few people watching, but there has never been a licensed person..."

"Hey! That person's luck is really good, to be able to enter Fanglao's Medicine Prescription Hall, and to be accompanied by attendants."

Hearing this, Suantou and Daotong who were waiting couldn't help but look back at Yu Lie.Yu Lie himself immediately felt a burst of joy in his heart.

The Medicine Prescription Hall is the hall in charge of arranging prescriptions and managing pill books in the alchemy room!

There are not only a large number of alchemy prescriptions stored in the room, but also a large number of alchemy priests will send a lot of records of alchemy into it every month for inspection and adjustment.

Such an eloquence can be described as noble and refined, and it can make people learn a lot of things. It is the best position that Yu Lie is looking forward to!
Yu Lie immediately thanked the old Taoist of the Taoist Academy in his heart:

"Old Yutou is really interesting!"

When he won the bronze medal, Lao Yutou just said that he would enter the alchemy room with the signboard, and the position would definitely not be bad, and if there was no space, he would squeeze one out for him.

Therefore, Yu Lie didn't know what the specific position would be. Now when he heard that only Yaofangtang was vacant, he suddenly felt that it was a good time for him to come.

If he came early, there would be many vacancies, and the head of the Medicine Prescription Hall would not necessarily accept him; if he was late, the positions in the Medicine Prescription Hall might be gone immediately, and the positions squeezed out by force would definitely not be as good as those in the Medicine Prescription Hall.

Yu Lie was pleasantly surprised, his eyes blurred, and someone had already walked in front of him.

The other party's Taoist robe fluttered, and there was still a white beard under his chin. The medicinal fragrance on his body was strong, and he had the air of being full of pills.This person is the Elder Fang that the rest of the hall masters spoke of.

Fang Lao looked at Yu Lie with a smile, and asked kindly, "Who gave you the bronze medal?"

Yu Lie pondered, and replied: "The Taoist Academy is old."

After listening to Yu Lie's answer, Fang Lao didn't speak immediately.Yu Lie vaguely felt that something was wrong, he raised his head slightly, and found that there seemed to be a gleam of joy in the eyes of Fang Lao in front of him.

Elder Fang drooped his eyelids, and finally said: "Since it was arranged by Mr. Yu and he still holds the bronze medal, then the poor can't be neglected."

The person coughed lightly and asked: "Young student, do you want to learn real alchemy or fake alchemy when you come to the alchemy room?"

Yu Lie felt that the other party's question was a bit strange.

He squinted his eyes slightly, and did not answer directly, but Ji Shou said: "The junior is superficial, and I don't know what is real alchemy and what is fake alchemy? Please show me, Mr. Fang."

Fang Lao Fuxu said: "True alchemy, concocting, grinding, furnace fire, dispensing medicine... All kinds of things are indispensable, but they are real kung fu in the hands. It is to start from the small and gain insights step by step."

"Fake alchemy, memorizing alchemy books, reading alchemy formulas, ignorant scriptures, writing good prescriptions, and dying after taking medicine, just like the boy who died in my hall. I don't know which young man you want to learn? "

Yu Lie frowned secretly.

Any fool would know how to choose the choice given by the other party!This made Yu Lie suspicious. Is the person in front of him testing him, or is there a fraud in it?
So after thinking about it, Yu Lie didn't answer according to the other party's words, but took the initiative to say:
"Thank you senior for clarifying the confusion. This junior came to the alchemy room because he wanted to learn how to detoxify and heal wounds, improve his Taoism, and take the alchemy of self-cultivation. This junior believes that the kung fu in hand and the kung fu in books are indispensable."

Yu Lie gritted his teeth, and Jishou called out: "Reporting to the senior, the junior wants to learn this kind of alchemy!"

As soon as he said this, someone in the cave made a sound of surprise, and the rest of the hall masters became interested, and some people laughed in a low voice.

But what made Yu Lie feel bad was that after he saluted, he glanced up, and the old Fang standing in front of him frowned, pinched his beard and said nothing, showing displeasure on his face.

Suddenly, Mr. Fang said kindly:
"Very good! Since the younger generation is so assertive, then you can choose a position in the bottom of the alchemy room according to your own ideas. If you are not satisfied, the old man will come forward and give you a few more chances until you are satisfied."

Mr. Fang smiled kindly and said: "As for the position in the Medicine Prescription Hall, I will reserve it for you first. After you have been promoted from the bottom position and gained experience, come to my hall again. Pindao will teach you carefully. .”

"In this way, you will have both hand skills and book skills, and you will definitely be able to learn the alchemy you speak of!"

Hearing this, Yu Lie felt a chill in his heart.
