Chapter 51, Dan Temple

Chapter 51, Dan Temple
Hua Changxi was punished to work at Sancha Pharmacy. This incident caused quite a stir in the Sixth Bureau. When she went to the cafeteria to eat, Manager Qin and others also advised her to admit her mistake to Eunuch Lu.

Hua Changxi spent a lot of effort to send Steward Qin and the others away. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Granny Sun came again: "Granny Sun."

Granny Sun didn't try to persuade her, but just said, "The medicine store of the Medical Department is managed by a master."

Before, Hua Changxi forced Mao Yong and others to retreat, and the people in the service hall were all speculating that she was a warrior. She had also heard about this and could guess that Hua Changxi might have some ability to protect herself.

However, this self-defense ability may not be enough when facing a master.

She liked this little girl very much and really didn't want to see her stuck in the mud, so she couldn't help but come over to remind her.

Upon learning that there was a master in charge of the pharmacy, Hua Changxi's expression suddenly became serious.

Grand Master
With her current level, can she deal with the Grandmaster?

Hua Changxi recalled the confrontation between him and Eunuch Yu and the one-armed man brought by Mao Yong. Yu Hui said that Eunuch Yu was a seventh-rank warrior, and the one-armed man was probably about the same.

The pressure released by the two men had no effect on her. Although she didn't know how strong the master was, if the master could only release his internal force to suppress her, then she should not be in danger.

Her main concern was the Grandmaster's fighting ability. She had never fought with others, so her fighting ability was almost zero.

Even if you know some magic, you may not win if a fight breaks out.

However, even if we can't win, we should be able to protect ourselves.

After entering the Qi Hai Realm, even though she practiced every minute, her realm improvement was very slow. Therefore, even though she might encounter some dangers in the Sancha Medicine Valley, she must go to find the Yuan Ling Grass.

Hua Changxi looked at Grandma Sun and said, "Grandma, thank you for telling me this. I will be careful."

Seeing that even the master couldn't scare Hua Changxi away, Mrs. Sun looked at her deeply and said, "It's good that you know what's going on." After saying that, she was about to go back to the kitchen.

"Mother-in-law!"

Hua Changxi called her.

Granny Sun turned around and looked at her: "Anything else?"

Hua Changxi pulled Grandma Sun to sit down: "Grandma, do you know that old courtyard over there in the square?"

Grandma Sun's expression suddenly changed, and she looked at Hua Changxi: "Why are you asking this?"

Seeing her reaction, Hua Changxi immediately realized that she knew about that courtyard, so she asked instead, "There is a hunchbacked old man living in that courtyard. Does grandma know who he is?"

Granny Sun looked at Hua Changxi silently. Just when Hua Changxi thought she would not answer, she spoke: "The old guy is called Gu Xing, and he is just a yard keeper."

Hua Changxi was not very satisfied with this answer. If the hunchbacked old woman was really just a yard watcher, then why did Eunuch Yu give up on arresting her just because he saw the old woman?

Granny Sun: "That old guy rarely comes out. Even the old men in the errand hall may not know him. How do you know him?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Yesterday I was passing by the square and suddenly felt a little unwell. I happened to meet Senior Gu who was coming out of the door. He probably saw that I couldn't even walk, so he let me into the yard to rest."

Hearing this, Granny Sun stood up and asked in surprise, "He asked you to go to his yard to rest?"

Seeing her big reaction, Hua Changxi immediately asked, "Yeah, is there anything wrong with that?"

Mother Sun did not answer, but looked at Hua Changxi inquiringly, wondering why Gu Xing would invite such a little girl into the yard.

Hua Changxi continued: "That senior Gu must be very old, and his back is so hunched, it looks scary. Grandma, is he a bad guy?"

Granny Sun straightened her expression and sat back down: "That old guy just looks scary, he's not a bad guy. Next time you run into him, if he invites you into the yard, just go in and sit down."

Hua Changxi's expression changed and he shook his head: "No, I'm scared."

When Granny Sun heard this, a look of anxiety flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared. She looked at Hua Changxi hesitantly, and finally sighed, "That old guy is actually a pitiful man."

Hua Changxi looked surprised and looked at Grandma Sun curiously, waiting for her to continue.

Granny Sun: "What do you think of the location of the Medical Department?"

Hua Changxi: "It's very good. It's surrounded by mountains in the north, close to Tonghua Gate in the east, with canals running through both ends, and the imperial palace in the west. The location is great."

Granny Sun nodded and said, "Do you know that before the imperial court established the Medical Bureau, this place was actually called Dan Sheng Temple, and it was the property of an old family."

Hua Changxi blinked his eyes: "Could this family's surname be Gu?"

Granny Sun: "His surname is Gu. The imperial court took a fancy to Dan Sheng Temple and forcibly seized it."

"After the imperial court took over the Dan Sheng Temple, they changed the name but didn't make any other changes. They just renovated some damaged parts."

"The Gu family is a medical family. At the beginning, the court let the Gu family serve in the Medical Department. But as the court's control over the Medical Department became tighter and tighter, now only the old courtyard on the square still belongs to the Gu family, and only Gu Xing is left in the Gu family."

Hua Changxi had not expected such a thing to happen: "Grandma, has the stone tripod in the square always been there?"

This is what she cares about most.

The Shennong Ding stayed well in her mind. After practicing, it only passed on the medical skills to her, and there was no movement during this period.

Yesterday, she had a splitting headache after seeing the stone tripod, and then she summoned the Shennong Ding.

There must be some connection between the two.

Granny Sun nodded and said, "That stone tripod is very old. It seems to be called the Medicine Ancestor Tripod."

The ancestor of medicine!

Hua Changxi's eyes flashed. The ancestor of medicine. There is only one person recognized as the ancestor of medicine, and that is Shennong.

Yaozu Ding and Shennong Ding have different names, but they refer to the same person.

Hua Changxi thought of the magnificent palace she saw in a trance. That hunchbacked old man was definitely not as simple as Grandma Sun said. Coupled with the Shennong Ding that was suddenly summoned, there must be a big secret hidden here.

Hua Changxi was not in a hurry to solve this secret. Now, she just wanted to improve her realm as soon as possible. Only when her martial arts were strong enough would she have the confidence to explore this mysterious world.

After that, Hua Changxi didn't talk much with Grandma Sun, but he was reaffirmed in his heart that Grandma Sun was not a simple person.

And there is Su Ruoli. When she grabbed her wrist yesterday, she sensed the internal force in her body. She is a warrior.

The water in the Medical Department is getting deeper and deeper, and all kinds of monsters and demons are popping up.

Because she had to go to Sancha Medicine Store the day after tomorrow, Hua Changxi was thinking about whether she should go home. But when she thought that if her family knew that she was punished to go to the medicine store, they would probably either stop her or blame her, she gave up the idea.

Not knowing how long he would stay in Sancha Pharmacy, Hua Changxi thought about it and found Pharmacist Xu. He gave him the 100 Bone-Forging Pills, 50 Organ Pills, and 50 Meridian-Opening Pills that he had received from his collaboration with Eunuch Yu in refining medicine in the first month of the year, and asked him to help pass them on to Hua Liulang.

Pharmacist Xu looked at the pills and was very surprised: "Jiu Niang, tell me, where did you get these pills?"

Hua Changxi did not hide anything and briefly talked about her experience of refining medicine for others.

After hearing this, Pharmacist Xu did not react much.

This surprised Hua Changxi: "Uncle Xu, I thought you were going to blame me." Pharmacist Xu laughed and said: "Now that you have joined the Medical Department, you are no longer a child who needs your family to be responsible for you. As long as you know what you are doing and can bear the consequences, I will only be happy for you."

As he spoke, he patted Hua Changxi on the shoulder and said, "Jiu Niang, you have now embarked on the road of being responsible for yourself. The road ahead is long, with thorns and flowers. Just don't lose yourself."

Hua Changxi smiled. Compared to the various worries of others, she preferred Pharmacist Xu's trust: "Uncle Xu, thank you. I will walk my own path well."

"By the way, Uncle Xu, has Ah Ling's illness improved?"

Talking about his daughter, Pharmacist Xu smiled even more: "Well, after the beginning of spring, Ah Ling is not so sleepy anymore."

Seeing that Pharmacist Xu did not mention the matter of snake scales, Hua Changxi knew that he was superstitious about it, so he did not ask any more questions. After chatting for a while, he returned to the service hall.

On February 18, Hua Changxi left the Sixth Bureau carrying a package under the worried gazes of Wang Yunchu and others and gathered at the back door of the Medical Bureau.

There were more than a hundred servants who went to Sancha Medicine Store to help, all of them were men, with Hua Changxi being the only woman.

As soon as Hua Changxi appeared, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Feeling everyone's stares, Hua Changxi felt uncomfortable but he still endured it.

She got the opportunity to practice and also inherited the legacy of Shennong, which was already a great blessing. In this case, if she even backed down from looking for resources for practice, then she shouldn't practice.

The leader was a tall and strong middle-aged man with a big beard. The bearded man glanced at Hua Changxi, counted the people according to the list, and when he saw that everyone was present, he turned around and got on the carriage.

"set off!"

Sancha Pharmacy is dozens of kilometers away from the capital, but there are only five horse-drawn carts for carrying goods in the team. Except for a few managers, everyone else has to walk.

Hua Changxi walked at the end of the team and chose to ignore the various subtle looks and whispers from everyone.

After leaving the capital, the carriage started running and everyone else had to follow.

It was not until noon that the bearded man asked everyone to stop and rest on the spot, and then began to distribute dry food.

After running for a long time, everyone was tired and out of breath. The bearded man glanced at Hua Changxi, who looked calm and composed, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After eating some dry food and resting for a quarter of an hour, we started on our journey again.

In the first half of the day, no one came to trouble Hua Changxi, but in the afternoon, a young steward jumped off the carriage and approached Hua Changxi with a smile.

When everyone saw this, they all looked like they were watching a show.

The bearded man also looked over, but he didn't say anything.

Sha Wenyuan is the second manager under Eunuch Lu. Eunuch Lu has specifically instructed him to make Hua Changxi suffer.

"How can I let a young girl like you run after a carriage? Come, take a ride in the carriage with your brother." As he said this, he was about to reach out to hold Hua Changxi's hand.

Hua Changxi looked at Sha Wenyuan expressionlessly. When his hand was about to touch him, he grabbed his arm without holding back and with a "click", broke his arm.

Then, he raised his right leg and kicked Sha Wenyuan's calf hard again.

With another "crack", Sha Wenyuan's calf was also broken.

Hua Changxi pushed Sha Wenyuan away, and Sha Wenyuan fell to the ground, looking painful, with distorted facial features and a rapid "ho ho" sound coming from his throat.

At this moment, he was in so much pain that he could no longer scream.

Hua Changxi did not stop there. She knew very well that if she did not intimidate these people at once, what would be waiting for her would be endless harassment.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, Hua Changxi stepped on Sha Wenyuan's chest.

"Pfft~"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Sha Wenyuan's mouth.

"stop!"

Seeing that Sha Wenyuan was breathing in more than out, the bearded man came to his senses from his shock and jumped off the carriage to stop him.

Hua Changxi looked around at everyone with an expressionless face, then smiled at the bearded man and said, "Don't worry, manager. I'm a doctor and I know how to be careful."

"I won't dirty my hands and get myself involved in a murder lawsuit for a rotten person."

As he said that, he kicked Sha Wenyuan again, "This rubbish can't die."

The bearded man looked at the arrogant Hua Changxi with a sharp look in his eyes: "You are so brave."

Hua Changxi smiled faintly: "If I were not brave, how could I appear here?"

Now that she was out of the Medical Bureau, she was no longer afraid of these people. They couldn't send her back. At most, they could only punish her to stay in the pharmacy for a longer period of time.

But this was exactly what she wanted.

The bearded man stared at Hua Changxi for a while, and just when everyone thought he was going to punish Hua Changxi, he turned and left without saying anything, and only asked a few people to carry Sha Wenyuan onto the carriage.

Continue on your way.

As it was getting dark, the bearded man had people distribute dry rations again. After eating the rations, he did not let people rest, but continued on his journey while it was still dark.

After a night, when the morning light appeared, the group finally arrived at Sancha Medicine Store.

"I wish you good health."

"Mao is in charge."

At this time of year every year, the Medical Bureau would send servants to the medicine shop to help pick and plant medicinal herbs. Since it was a job well done, Mao Yong would be waiting there early.

"We have traveled for a whole day and night. Thank you for your hard work, brothers. The medicine store has already prepared food. Come on, let's go eat first. After eating, we can rest for a day and start working tomorrow."

Mao Yong led everyone into the medicine store, but when he saw Hua Changxi behind the crowd, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Hua Changxi smiled at him friendly when he looked at her.

Mao Yong saw this and quickly looked away, grabbing the bearded man and saying, "What's going on? Why is there a female servant?"

Zhu Yu glanced at Hua Changxi and said, "I offended Eunuch Lu and was punished to do hard labor."

Hearing this, Mao Yong's heart moved. He had been forced by this little girl to apologize in public in the pharmaceutical department's treasury before, and he had always felt uncomfortable about it. Now that this girl had come to his territory, he had to find a chance to regain his lost face.

However, the next moment, when Mao Yong saw Sha Wenyuan being carried out of the carriage with injuries all over his body, and learned that this man had his arms and legs broken and three ribs broken by Hua Changxi, he felt a little scared.

However, thinking that there was a master in charge of the medicine shop, Mao Yong's expression improved a little.

He just didn't believe that this girl dared to hurt anyone under the Grandmaster's nose.
