Chapter 4: Sugar-roasted chestnuts



Both of them were assigned to the medicine hall.

The smell of bitterness filled the air within thirty feet of the medicine hall. Ling Luo hated it very much, but she could only endure it.

The medicine master led the two to the pharmacy and said, "Two new batches of medicinal materials have just arrived. You two will be responsible for classifying them according to what is written in the pharmacopoeia."

"yes."

"Although I won't come to see it, don't be lazy." Senior Sister Yaozhai joked.

After her senior sister left, Lingluo took the medicine box to the yard and cleaned the herbs that were drying on the wooden rack.

The yard was filled with rows of wooden frames, leaving only a few aisles.

Yue Liangze also took the medicine box and went to another corner of the yard, far away from Lingluo.

Ling Luo took the time to look and found that he was so far away from her, and she was immediately furious.

Is this the right attitude to treat the junior sister who rescued you from danger?

This is simply outrageous!

Lingluo tapped the wooden frame with her fingers, making a crisp sound.

Yue Liangze pretended not to hear and focused on picking out the medicinal dregs.

She rolled her eyes in anger.

Why are you hiding so far away?

Why didn’t you dodge when Hong Mao hit you?

Lingluo murmured in her heart, but did not take the initiative to talk to him. Ignore.

She glanced at the pharmacopoeia and classified and separated the mixed herbs. Some of the wooden shelves were too high for her to reach, so she went back to the house and brought a small stool to stand on.

After a while, she started sneezing non-stop.

"A-choo——"

Lingluo rubbed her nose, got off the bench, and sneezed continuously with her face covered.

Tears were forced out.

With tearful eyes, she looked at the medicinal herbs in her hand. They were sliced ​​and dried nylon flower leaves.

Nylon flower only blooms all year round but does not grow leaves, and its leaves are extremely precious medicinal materials that are rarely seen once in decades.

But bellflower is allergic to it, and its smell is not obvious, and it looks similar to ordinary leaves, with no special features.

She would sneeze constantly whenever she inhaled the smell of nylon leaves or touched them.

Lingluo threw the nylon flower leaves in her hand into the medicine box in annoyance, "A-choo——"

hateful!

The continuous sneezing sounds finally attracted Yue Liangze's attention.

He glanced sideways at Lingluo, and saw her squatting on the ground, covering her face and sneezing continuously. He frowned slightly and walked over.

A shadow fell from above her head. Ling Luo knew who it was without even looking. She said unhappily, "Go away! A-choo—"

She didn't want to give Yue Liangze the chance to laugh at her.

Yue Liangze stopped and obediently did not come closer. The next moment he turned around and left.

Lingluo became even angrier when she saw this.

You simply - A-choo!

At this moment, she didn't know whether she was angry with Yue Liangze or tortured by the sneeze, but tears were already sparkling in her red eyes, overflowing from the corners of her eyes, leaving a tear mark on her face.

Ling Luo couldn't help but called out subconsciously: "Yue Liangze!"

The shout sounded like a cat with its fur standing on end, yelling at someone.

No one responded.

Lingluo wiped her tears, stood up and looked around the yard, but did not see the young man. Just as she was wondering, she saw Yue Liangze coming out of the house.

He came over with a cup of dark water in his hand and placed it next to Lingluo's medicine box.

The bitterness is overwhelming.

Ling Luo twisted her nose, wrinkled her face and asked, "What is this... A-choo! What is this!"

"Medicine." Yue Liangze whispered, "For allergies."

The boy's voice is clean, bright and very pleasant to hear.

Ling Luo was in no mood to appreciate it. She said angrily, "You, you are... A-choo! Allergic! Who told you that I... A-choo! Allergic!"

"A-choo——"

"I'm not allergic! A-choo!"

Yue Liangze: “…”

He said: "Use three-flavored vine and jingling grass ash to mix, the effect will be quick, the water is warm, and it will be cold if you put it in again."

This was the longest speech Lingluo had ever heard him speak.

“A-choo!”

After saying this, Yue Liangze left again and went back to continue sorting the medicinal herbs.

Lingluo gave him an angrily look and drank the potion in one gulp.

The medicine was bitter and she shed a few tears.

Could it be that this guy made it so bitter on purpose?

At least give me some candied fruit!

Just as Lingluo was thinking this, she saw Yue Liangze coming back and spreading his hand towards her, with a sugar-roasted chestnut in his palm.

She didn't care too much about it. She just peeled it and ate it while sneezing.

The sweet chestnuts melt in your mouth, alleviating some of the bitterness.

Ling Luo sniffed and looked at him with her eyes open: "A-choo——"

Yue Liangze hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want more?"

Lingluo reached out to him.

Yue Liangze placed the last two chestnuts in her palms.

It’s sweet but not greasy, and you’ll want to eat more after you’ve tried it.

Lingluo licked her lips, suppressed the thought of asking him for chestnuts again, pointed at the medicine box and said, "You come and clean this up."

Yue Liangze didn't say anything, but walked over, picked up the medicine box and took a look. After confirming the medicinal materials inside, he began to organize them.

Are you really a piece of wood? Not talking again!

Lingluo felt her liver aching again from anger, but fortunately the medicine worked quickly and the number of times she sneezed gradually decreased.

During this time, she stood by with her face covered, and asked in a muffled voice: "Senior Brother Xiuman said that you deliberately took the written test to suppress his ranking, is it true?"

Yue Liangze did not answer.

"Ask you..." What are you talking about! A few words came to his lips but were suppressed again.

Ling Luo remembered that Hong Mao and the others often scolded Yue Liangze in the same way, and she didn't want to be like them.

She asked again: "Is it true?"

Yue Liangze tiptoed to take the medicine basket off the long board and hummed at the same time.

Ling Luo: “…”

"Louder!"

Yue Liangze glanced at her, then lowered his head back to the medicine basket and said, "I did it on purpose."

Wow!

At this moment, she actually felt a sense of relief that her son had grown up.

What did she say before?

This guy is just pretending!

It is not an easy task to accurately control the ranking to just squeeze out Sooman.

He is not a brainless person. Lingluo asked again: "Since you have the guts to ruin people's good deeds, why don't you have the guts to resist and let them beat you?"

Yue Liangze carefully divided the herbs in his hand and said without raising his head, "I can't beat him."

Ling Luo: “…”

She was stunned.

"Say it again?" Ling Luo stared at the person in front of her with extreme concentration.

Yue Liangze repeated again: "I can't beat him."

What nonsense are you talking about!

How could you not beat those rubbish!

You are——

Ling Luo's forehead twitched violently. She raised her hand to pinch her eyebrows and took a deep breath.

Yue Liangze suddenly appeared at the Jinluan Pool Banquet of Taichu in Xihai of the Great Immortal Sect. He shocked the world with one sword. Before that, he was an unknown person.

Not to mention that no one in the world knows that he was once an outer disciple of Dongdao Tianji. Maybe at this moment Yue Liangze really can't beat Senior Brother Hong Mao.

Just like now, she can’t defeat the leader of Dongdao Tianji.

Perhaps Yue Liangze was like her, having spiritual power but not knowing how to use it, and even at one point he couldn't even hold a sword.

Ling Luo looked at him strangely for a few times, then suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Yue Liangze's hand holding the medicine, and placed a finger on his spiritual vein to test it.

The spiritual power is weak, very weak, as if it exists and yet not there.

After all, it is a great immortal family. Even for outer disciples, the standards will not be so low.

Yue Liangze was able to enter Dongdao Tianji with such weak spiritual power, could he have used a backdoor?

Yue Liangze quietly let her hold his hand without showing any surprise. He seemed to know what Lingluo meant, but didn't care.

People who practice Taoism rely on their own spiritual power when reaching the entry level and breaking through.

Some people are born with it, but it also varies, that is, the level of qualifications. People like this have already stepped into the world of immortal cultivation from the beginning and can enhance their spiritual power through later practice.

Some people are born without it.

And nothing means nothing.

For this type of people who want to get involved in the world of cultivating immortals, their first goal is to cultivate their spiritual power. And most people cannot do it in their entire lives.

There is a world of difference between having spiritual power and not having spiritual power when it comes to getting started.

The spiritual power that Lingluo detected in Yue Liangze was between existence and non-existence, very subtle.

There is a spiritual vein, but the spiritual power is so weak that it seems as if it does not exist.

This means that he is only physically stronger and more durable than the average person, but if he practices magic or swordsmanship, he might not even be able to perform the simplest sword moves.

Ling Luo let him go with a gloomy look on her face, and said, "With your spiritual power, if you were to take part in the martial arts test today, wouldn't you be laughed at?"

I also understand why he just took the beatings and didn't resist.

With his weak spiritual power, he is definitely no match for Hong Mao and the others.

Yue Liangze put the herbs in his hand into the medicine box and said without any emotion: "I won't go."

"You are quite self-aware." Lingluo laughed, "How did you get into Dongdao Tianji?"

Two years earlier than her.

Yue Liangze said: "I came in from the bottom of the mountain."

Ling Luo: “…”

Some say he is like a piece of wood and can't speak, but when he opens his mouth occasionally, he can make people angry to death.

Ling Luo: "I'm talking about how you, with your weak spiritual power, became an outer disciple of Dongdao Tianji?"

Think about Yue Liangze ten years later, his strong spiritual power could sustain him for half a month without food or water. If she hadn't remembered that there was such a person trapped in the magic circle she set up on Mount Amaterasu and hadn't become interested in going back to take a look, there's no telling how long this person would stop refusing to eat.

According to his temper and personality, he would either starve to death or force his way through.

Come to think of it, why didn't he just force his way into the magic circle back then, but instead sat there starving for half a month?

Although her magic circle is powerful, if Yue Liangze really wants to get out, he will not be trapped for so long if he uses all his strength to break the circle.

Lingluo's thoughts wandered for a moment, and before she could hear Yue Liangze's answer, she sneezed again.

Yue Liangze looked at her sideways.

“A-choo—” Ling Luo opened her eyes slightly wide, “What… A-choo! Here it comes again! A-choo! Didn’t you say… A-choo!”

Didn’t you say that everything would be fine after taking the medicine? !

Yue Liangze looked at her, was silent for a moment, stretched out his right hand that was previously held by Lingluo, and said, "I just sorted the nylon flowers and leaves, and you touched them again."

Ling Luo: “A-choo!”

hateful!

She pointed to the empty cup and said, "A-choo!"

Yue Liangze tactfully took the cup and went back to the house to prepare new medicine for her.

Lingluo sneezed and tears came out again. She looked at the people in the room and they were a little blurry.

The boy's thin and upright back overlapped into two or three pieces.

She couldn't help but wonder if Yue Liangze did it on purpose.

Knowing what she was allergic to, but not stopping her!

Or maybe he's used to it.

He is used to people touching him without resisting.

Because Lingluo kept sneezing, her mind couldn't concentrate and she was thinking about all sorts of things.

Yue Liangze brought out a new dose of medicine and handed it to her. This time, Lingluo drank it without hesitation.

After drinking it, she shed two tears because of the bitter taste in her mouth.

"Chestnut..." She mumbled, "Chestnut."

"No more." Yue Liangze saw her frowning, and took out another dried pill and gave it to her, saying, "This is licorice tablets, sweet, can relieve bitterness."

Lingluo took it and put it in her mouth.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard these words in her previous life.

It is also in Amaterasu Mountain.

She came back injured outside. There were loud thunders in the rainy night. The spirits and demons were trembling and dared not approach her because of her injury and anger.

At that time she was tired and hungry, tossing and turning in bed, and didn't want to go out because of the thunderstorm.

She forgot about Koshiraze who was still trapped in Amaterasu Mountain.

When she was confused due to the recurring pain, this person patiently fed her enough food and water, coaxed her to finish the medicine, and when she got angry because the medicine tasted too bitter, he put the pills to her lips and said, "It's sweet, it can relieve the bitterness."

Ling Luo once thought that Yue Liangze did this because he wanted to leave the magic circle and please her.

He came here with the purpose of exorcising demons and defending justice. She was completely unprepared that night, so Yue Liangze would surely succeed in killing her.

It's a pity that he didn't do it.
