Chapter 14 Does He Know Too Much?
early morning!
It was not until people in the room got up one after another that Chen Yushu pretended to have just woken up and walked out of the room.
At this time, he looked at Xu Hao deliberately.
He had deep bags under his eyes and a slightly pale face. His steps seemed unsteady as he walked on the road. At this moment, an apprentice suddenly came over and patted him on the shoulder. His legs went weak and he staggered and almost fell.
"What's going on? So weak?
Did you go to Mingyu Flower Boat again yesterday? Did you sneak into Yuegu's room?"
The apprentice was a little surprised when he saw this, and then said jokingly.
“No way?
Where do I get the money now?
I don’t know what’s going on, I haven’t been able to sleep well these past few days, and I’ve been having nightmares…”
Xu Hao saw that it was Zhao Lei who lived in Room 1. Although the other party was not assigned to work in the store, he was also a "senior" apprentice, doing the work of roasting and moxibustion medicinal materials.
Pao Moxibustion is a method of refining medicine and making medicine.
Some medicinal materials cannot be used directly as medicine even if they are cleaned after being picked. They need to be processed using special techniques such as burning, steaming, drying, neutralizing, stir-frying in soil, etc. before they can be officially made into medicine and used as medicine, and the efficacy will be better.
Although Zhao Lei is about the same age as him, he has been an apprentice for four or five years. Whenever he sees him, he often tries to curry favor with him.
"Really didn't go?"
Zhao Lei was surprised, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should do less manual labor and learn to be moderate."
"No!"
Xu Hao shook his head, but didn't know how to explain.
He really felt something was wrong these past two days.
Chen Yushu stood not far away, thinking to himself, "How could this be exhausting? Being sucked by a ghost, even if Xu Hao had mastered the Yaowang Zhuang Gong and had accumulated a certain amount of Qi and blood in his body, he couldn't withstand such a drain."
Then he thought for a moment, walked over to Li Hu, and pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Has anyone died in our shop?"
He saw the appearance of the "ghost" last night and it seemed that he was not very old, about the same age as them, so he guessed that the ghost might have been an apprentice in the pharmacy.
If someone can transform into a ghost, he must be dead.
And it shouldn't take too long.
Otherwise, I believe that with the background of the Liu family's pharmacy, even if most of the people in the pharmacy practice martial arts, I have never heard of anyone learning anything from that sect, but they definitely have a way to "eliminate" it.
"Have you heard?"
Sure enough, Li Hu lowered his voice suddenly, then pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Someone died, but it wasn't long ago, only about ten days ago.
The man's name was Li Pei. He was originally an apprentice and was said to have good talent. Within a month, he had mastered the basics of the Medicine King Posture.
It’s just that he works too hard and is too diligent…”
"Too hard-working? Too diligent?"
Chen Yushu was stunned.
"right!
Being able to master the Medicine King Posture within a month is considered very good in our pharmacy.
I heard that the most amazing one is the medical apprentice Xu Lihao. He mastered the basic standing meditation in just seven days and achieved minor success in one year. Now he has been spotted by Doctor Liu and accepted as his disciple. He can learn medical skills from him and will at least be a doctor in the future. He has a bright future.
This person was also quite talented and mastered the basic standing meditation within a month.
But you also know that practicing the Medicine King Posture once will consume a lot of energy.
This is especially true after you get started.
With the food we eat, it's good enough if we can practice twice a day.
As a result, he practiced at least three times a day, sometimes even four times... so soon, his body broke down."
Li Hu said this and shook his head.
"And then he died?"
Chen Yushu asked hurriedly.
I was secretly awestruck in my heart.
He practiced martial arts last night and deeply felt the speed at which this exercise consumed energy in the body.
Without nourishing medicine, practicing three times a day is already the limit, and that requires ensuring that you have enough to eat and eat well.
Four times a day?
It is indeed extremely undesirable, and the more you practice, the weaker you will become.
"No."
Li Hu shook his head and said, "I just fell ill.
After all, this is a pharmacy and a clinic.
After he fell ill, Doctor Liu took care of him and he soon got better. He was also taken care of by his fellow villager Xu Hao.
However, I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I feel that the relationship between the two of them is not very good.
One time, I came home early from work and heard them arguing. Xu Hao seemed to be forcing him to hand over something... Then a few days later, when we came back from work, we found Li Pei dead in his bed.
"Hmm? What is that?"
Chen Yushu was stunned and immediately had a guess in his mind.
"have no idea.
However, I do have some guesses.”
Li Hu couldn't help but lower his voice.
Chen Yushu couldn't help but look at him strangely.
Does he know too much?
Although he knew that Li Hu was a chatterbox and couldn't keep things to himself, he still let everything out when he asked him, which really made him admire him.
Of course, we have to be careful about any secrets in the future.
"Xu Hao and Li Pei are both from Xujiapo, and I am from Lijiapo, from a neighboring village. Counting back three generations, we should be somewhat related.
However, Li Pei's family members had all died, so of course the relationship was severed.
But as far as I know, Li Pei's family is actually not simple.
You know the ghost walker, his grandfather is the ghost walker in Xujiaopo who specializes in dealing with those strange things.
I don't know whether it's really powerful or not, but it's really scary.
At that time, someone in our village asked his grandfather for help. He said that he used a ghost-possessed method to directly invite the ancestor's spirit down, and he explained many things.
It is said that the interest was only one or two taels of silver.
However, just half a year ago, his grandfather passed away. I heard he encountered an evil spirit."
Speaking of this, Li Hu couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear on his face.
"evil?"
Chen Yushu frowned.
"It seems to be something scarier than ghosts."
Li Hu explained, and then continued: "His grandfather couldn't resist either, and died directly under the big tree at the entrance of their village. Then, over the next few days, many people in his family died one after another, and finally even alarmed the government.
The riot only stopped when officials arrived.
In the end, Li Pei was the only one left in the Li family.
It was only when I was sent here that I learned that he had also entered the Liu family pharmacy.
But I didn’t expect that he would die just over half a month after I came here.”
Li Hu sighed, as if he also felt sorry for the other party.
"So, what's your guess?"
Chen Yushu glanced at the sky and saw that Master Qian Qian was about to arrive.
Although he has already mastered the basics of Medicine King Posture, the other party has mastered the technique and a few words of advice can help him improve a lot, so he naturally will not ignore it.
"That Xu Hao must be interested in the Li Pei family's inheritance of the 'Yin-walking Man' and the magical instruments they may have hidden."
Li Hu said in a low voice.
"Um?"
Chen Yushu was shocked.
The inheritance of the Yin people?
Magical weapon?
