Chapter 187 The Demon Cult Witch 16

It took several days for Ah Xi to finally buy enough seeds.

She distributed the seeds one by one according to the data reported by the village chief, and broke them up little by little to teach everyone how to plant them.

After a quick and slow effort, the villagers finally planted all the fields before the end of spring plowing.

"After being busy for so many days, can you take a good rest for a while?" Looking at Ah Xi who had lost a lot of weight, Yao Rong thought about stewing pigeon soup for Ah Xi tonight to replenish her body.

Ah Xi shook her head. It was not time to rest yet: "Mom, do you have land in the village?"

"Yes. What are you going to do?"

"I want to pay the villagers to help me farm."

Yao Rong became interested: "What are you going to plant?"

"Grow Astragalus. I plan to try to plant some myself so that the villagers can see the benefits of Astragalus and promote the planting of Astragalus in the future."

Yao Rong went to the study and came out with a wooden box in her arms. She handed the wooden box to Ah Xi: "Inside are all the land deeds under the name of Juexian Pavilion. They are all given to you. You can do whatever you want with them."

Ah Xi took the wooden box and smiled: "Okay."

The next year was a year of good weather and good harvest.

Under Ah Xi's guidance and the villagers' careful care, Bupleurum and Platycodon grandiflorum gradually entered the maturity period.

Before the harvest began, several village heads went to the city to inquire about the purchase price of Bupleurum and Platycodon in the pharmacy. When they came back, they were all very happy.

Seeing that they had found a buyer, Ah Xi did not interfere with the follow-up matters. He was busy taking care of the Astragalus and saving seeds of Bupleurum and Platycodon.

It was not a good idea to always buy seeds from outside. The two-year-old Bupleurum and Platycodon were suitable for saving seeds. As long as the method was right, the seeds might not be worse than those sold outside.

After Ah Xi figured out the seed saving matter, the autumn harvest in the village came to an end.

Many villagers came to Ah Xi and said hesitantly that they wanted to plant more Bupleurum and Platycodon.

Some of the braver ones directly proposed to plant Astragalus.

They had asked the owner of the medicine shop, and the purchase price of Astragalus was slightly higher than Bupleurum and Platycodon. Since no one in the village was growing Astragalus on a large scale, they would grow it first, and they would definitely make more money.

Ah Xi supported this, but she still had to explain the power to them in advance, and let them go back and think about it for two more days. When they

returned to Juexian Pavilion, Yao Rong was sitting in Ah Xi's yard waiting for her.

Ah Xi hadn't seen Yao Rong for a while. She walked forward happily and sat down next to Yao Rong: "Mom, why are you here?"

"You've been going out early and coming back late lately. I haven't seen you all day. I want to see you, so I have to come here and wait for you."

Ah Xi hugged Yao Rong's arm and said affectionately: "I was very busy recently. Starting tomorrow, I will be free again."

Yao Rong glanced at her dry lips and poured her a cup of tea with her free hand: "Drink some water first."

Ah Xi drank two cups before she felt that her mouth was not so dry.

Yao Rong asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Ah Xi's eyes lit up, but after thinking for a while, she said, "If I can go out for a walk, I want to go out. But if it's not convenient, I'm also comfortable staying at home."

"Don't worry, it's very convenient."

In the past one or two years, Yao Rong has been busy dealing with the Xuyang Sect, and inevitably neglected Ah Xi.

Now that the game is set and the moves are made, she can take two or three months away and accompany Ah Xi to travel around.

Ah Xi raised the corners of her lips: "That's great!"

"How is your riding skill?"

When Ah Xi just returned to Juexian Pavilion, she had been pestering Yao Rong to teach her horsemanship for a while.

After Yao Rong taught her the tricks, he no longer kept an eye on her, and it is unknown whether she has made great progress now.

Ah Xi raised her chin slightly, a little complacent: "I usually ride a horse going up and down the mountain. Elder Chang Yue said that my riding skills are no worse than hers."

"It seems that you have practiced hard." Yao Ron smiled, "Have you decided where to go first?"

Several places flashed through Ah Xi's mind quickly, and suddenly, she whispered: "I have a good friend in Zhaotianmen. Although I don't spend much time with her, she has helped me a lot. I still owe her a meal...but Zhaotianmen is a bit far from here."

"It's not a big deal. Do you want to see her?"

"Yes!"

"Then I will accompany you to find her."

The departure time was set for three days later. During these three days, Ah Xi had just finalized the matter of the villagers buying seeds.

When going out, Ah Xi brought a few sets of spare clothes and the notes she had made while studying medical books in the past two years, so that she could review them on the road and add some new knowledge.

Yao Rong brought even simpler things, only spare clothes and a sword.

Of course, she definitely brought more silver.

Taking advantage of the dawn, Yao Rong and Ah Xi did not ask anyone to see them off. They rode their horses and followed the autumn wind all the way south.

It was not convenient to drive fast on the mountain road, but when they reached the wide official road, they did not need to worry too much.

Ah Xi was wearing a light green riding outfit and a high ponytail. She shook the whip in her hand and challenged Yao Rong: "Mom, I want to compete with you."

It was rare for her to be interested in this, and Yao Rong was happy to cooperate: "Competitions should have prizes."

"Then whoever loses will treat us to a meal."

Ah Xi originally thought that her riding skills were not bad. After all, she went up and down the mountain every few days, and the road conditions were enough to hone her riding skills.

Who knew that her mother's riding skills would be so amazing, and she performed very easily throughout the whole process. It was impossible to tell whether she had tried her best.

"I give up."

Seeing that she could not catch up no matter how hard she chased, Ah Xi admitted defeat.

She was not a person who was eager to win.

The reason I suggested having a competition with her mother was because I was in a good mood and wanted to find something interesting to do.

Yao Rong stopped the reins, turned around and looked at A Xi, and said with a smile: "The city gate is just ahead, let's get ready to enter the city."

A Xi rode to Yao Rong's side and walked side by side with her: "Mom, what do you want to eat later?"

"This is my first time here, and I don't know what delicious food there is. But a more expensive restaurant can never go wrong."

The Rouge Shop can bring A Xi hundreds of taels of commission every month. A Xi doesn't have many places to spend money, and this money slowly saves up and becomes a considerable amount.

So after entering the city, A Xi did as Yao Rong said and took Yao Rong straight to the best restaurant in the city.

It was dinner time, and the restaurant was full of guests. A Xi looked around the lobby and couldn't find an empty table.

"Let's go to the second floor to have a look." A Xi said.

As soon as they reached the second floor, Ah Xi looked at the table by the window with some surprise: "Mom, I saw an acquaintance. Let's go over and say hello to her and share a table with her."

***

Man Banxue was sitting by the window with her eyes closed, and suddenly heard someone calling her name.

"Ms. Man, do you still remember me?"

Man Banxue felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while. She slowly opened her eyes, looked up, and called out in surprise: "Ah Xi?"

Ah Xi's eyes curved slightly: "Can we share a table?"

"Of course no problem." Man Banxue quickly took away the weapon she had placed on the table, "Why are you here?"

"My mother and I are out traveling."

Man Banxue's eyes moved to Yao Rong. She was not the kind of person who would shout and kill the demon cult the moment she saw them, but she was a little nervous when she suddenly met the legendary demon cult leader and even sat down to eat with him.

"Don't be nervous." Yao Rong nodded to Man Banxue with a very gentle attitude.

"Hello, senior." Man Banxue hurriedly greeted him.

With Yao Rong's identity, no matter what he said to Man Banxue, Man Banxue would feel nervous. So after greeting him, Yao Rong did not speak again.

Man Banxue was indeed more relaxed and continued to chat with A Xi.

"Are you here to eat?" A Xi asked.

Man Banxue: "No, my master is running a free clinic in the north of the city, she is too busy to leave, so I came to pack the food."

Ah Xi said: "If you don't mind, I will go and help after my mother and I finish our meal."

"That's great, but will it be too much trouble for you?"

"No, no, I can help your master and learn something from him, how great."

The waiter brought the food Man Banxue ordered.

Man Banxue recommended a few signature dishes to Yao Rong and Ah Xi, and then left with the food box.

Yao Rong picked up a piece of squirrel fish with chopsticks: "This dish recommended by your friend tastes good."

Ah Xi also picked up a piece: "It's a bit sweet."

"The food here is sweet."

Ah Xi said: "The local climate and soil nurture the local people. We are not used to it, but the locals like it very much."

After lunch, the mother and daughter walked to the north of the city.

They didn't need to ask for directions. When they arrived in the north of the city, they walked in the direction with the most people and found Man Banxue and the head of Zhaotian Sect.

Ah Xi walked through the crowd and walked to Man Banxue's side. She quickly adapted to it and quickly coordinated with Man Banxue.

Yao Rong didn't go to Ah Xi's side to join in the fun. She went around to the side of the head of Zhaotian Sect.

The head of Zhaotian Sect was writing a prescription at his desk. He caught a glimpse of a figure holding a sword beside him. He turned around and almost ruined the prescription.

"Why are you here?"

"My daughter owes your apprentice a meal."

The head of Zhaotian Sect wanted to say a few more words, but looking at the bustling crowd in front of her, she couldn't be distracted.

Yao Rong had nothing to do, so she simply helped the head of Zhaotian Sect organize the writing.

They were so busy that the last rays of sunset were swallowed up by the night.

Man Banxue heaved a sigh of relief: "Axi, if you hadn't come to help today, I probably wouldn't have finished my work until this hour." Axi

smiled: "Don't you have a junior brother? Why didn't I see him?"

Man Banxue said: "His father passed away a few days ago, and he went back to his hometown. I guess he won't be back in a short time."

The head of Zhaotian Sect smiled at Axi: "I saw the prescription you wrote for the patient, it's very suitable."

He asked Axi where they would rest tonight.

After learning that they hadn't booked a hotel yet, the head of Zhaotian Sect said: "Then don't waste money, just stay at Zhaotian Sect for a while. Banxue is always easily distracted when she listens to my class alone, so you can go to class with her and urge her more."

Axi knew that this was the head of Zhaotian Sect's intention to guide her.

This opportunity is really rare, but after a little hesitation, Ah Xi declined.

Her identity is a little inconvenient after all. It is

already a bit taboo to get to know each other privately. If she and her mother live in Zhaotianmen openly, it is hard for Xuyang Sect to not know.

Zhaotianmen is just a small sect, and there is no need to confront Xuyang Sect.

"Then you can stay in the inn, but you can still attend classes together. I haven't been teaching in the sect recently." The head of Zhaotianmen showed a slight smile.

Ah Xi said happily: "Junior couldn't ask for more."

The next morning, Man Banxue came to the inn to find Ah Xi.

The head of Zhaotianmen does not pay attention to the form of her lectures. Sometimes she talks about whatever comes to her mind, but as long as you can keep up with her pace, you will benefit a lot.

Occasionally, Ah Xi would take out her notes and ask the head of Zhaotian Sect about some of the confusions in her notes.

Most of the problems were solved with the answers from the head of Zhaotian Sect.

But there were a few problems that the head of Zhaotian Sect did not understand.

Medical skills are indeed profound and it is difficult for anyone to master them.

Ah Xi also fulfilled her promise and treated Man Banxue to a meal.

Banxue was very moved after finishing the meal: "Just because you didn't fulfill your promise, you traveled half a month to see me?"

Ah Xi's eyes curved slightly: "There is another more important reason, you are my friend. I want to see my friend."

While Ah Xi was eating with her friends, Yao Rong was also eating with her friends.

"I don't know if your taste has changed. I ordered all the food you liked before." Yao Rong said to the head of Zhaotian Sect.

The head of Zhaotian Sect showed a trace of melancholy and nostalgia in his eyes: "I didn't expect you still remember it."

After a moment, the head of Zhaotian Sect shook his head again: "I didn't eat many of the dishes you ordered."

"Don't you like it?"

"No. It's because I don't have friends to eat with me, and I always feel that I lack the mood of sharing food." The head of Zhaotian Sect raised his eyes and looked at Yao Rong, "But with you here today, I can eat this table of food."

Yao Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, very surprised: "You don't say one thing and mean another."

The head of Zhaotian Sect rolled his eyes at her, raised his chopsticks, and was too lazy to talk to her again.

***

The time spent studying always flies.

In a blink of an eye, Yao Rong and A Xi have been here for half a month.

Because this trip only lasts for two or three months, if they delay here for too long, it will affect the next schedule, so Yao Rong and A Xi discussed and decided to leave the day after tomorrow.

It happened that tomorrow is the free clinic that is held every two weeks, and it won’t be too late for them to leave after helping.

Before leaving, A Xi also received a gift carefully prepared by Man Banxue.

It is a string of pearl bracelets.

Pearls are not cheap these days, and the pearls used to make bracelets are all the same size, which is even more rare.

"What you gave me is really too expensive." A Xi didn't want to accept it.

Man Banxue put one hand on her waist, as if she would not agree unless A Xi accepted it: "You can make a special trip to see me, so what's wrong with me preparing a more expensive gift for you?"

A Xi thought for a moment and still accepted it.

After leaving Zhaotian Gate, Yao Rong and A Xi continued to ride south.

This time, they did not visit friends again, but simply traveled and asked about some anecdotes.

If they met those famous doctors with good tempers, A Xi would visit them once or twice, ask a few polite questions, and then get up and say goodbye.

They played until it was about to snow, and then they set off to return.

When they returned to Juexian Pavilion, the first snow of winter just fell on A Xi's shoulders.

She wore a black cloak and a velvet sky blue hunting suit inside, riding on a horse, gentle and gentle, but also added a rare bright and gorgeous beauty.

When Chen Nan went out to greet them, he felt that the sun was too bright today, otherwise why would he be dazzled?

Seeing Yao Rong talking to the left protector, Chen Nan did not join in the fun, but took the initiative to step forward and take the box of books from Ah Xi.

"Where did you get these books?"

Ah Xi smiled and said, "I met some old doctors along the way, and I wrote down the medical books I remembered and transcribed them on paper. Some old doctors were interested in the medical books I wrote down and were willing to exchange books with me."

Chen Nan praised, "This is also a way. It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip."

Ah Xi was in a good mood and talked a lot more than usual: "Yes, traveling is a very happy thing."

"It would be even more exciting if you can learn something while traveling."

"Of course, the happiest thing is that my mother accompanies me in traveling."

Chen Nan listened quietly for a moment and asked, "Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to prepare noodles for you."

"Noodles again." Ah Xi smiled.

"Every time my dad came back from a long trip, my mom would make him a bowl of noodles. I've seen it so many times that I'm used to doing this."

Ah Xi nodded: "Then I have to hurry and eat noodles, otherwise the noodles will clump together if I'm late."

Chen Nan looked down at the wooden box in his hand: "Then this box of medical books, shall I take it to the clinic for you?"

Ah Xi rarely sees patients in the Juexian Pavilion Clinic, but she will prepare a lot of commonly used medicines and put them in it.

When people from Juexian Pavilion go out on missions, they can go to the clinic to get medicine by themselves. Just do a simple registration after getting the medicine.

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Chen Nan."

Ah Xi waved to Chen Nan, and took Yao Rong to the kitchen to eat noodles.

As a result, when he had just eaten half of the noodles, Chen Nan walked in with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "Master, something happened."

Yao Rong ate the noodles calmly: "What happened?"

Chen Nan looked at A Xi next to him.

Ah Xi asked, "Do I need to avoid it?"

"No." Chen Nan knew Ah Xi had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Mu Wenxuan died."

Yao Rong swallowed the noodles in his mouth: "How did he die?" "

I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that he died in a very disgraceful way, and it seemed to be related to the women in the brothel."

"Mu Wenxuan's death was too coincidental. I think his cause of death would not be so simple." Yao Rong put the bowl aside and didn't care about eating noodles. "Let our people continue to keep an eye on the Xuyang Sect. If I'm not wrong, the good show is about to begin."

Mu Wenxuan couldn't cause any trouble when he was alive, but it was different after his death.

Even if he couldn't carry on the family line, he was the only son of the Mu Sect Master.

Now, the only biological son is dead, and no one knows what the Mu Sect Master, who is already crazy, can do.

***

Today is the seventh day after Mu Wenxuan's death.

His body lay quietly in the coffin, his expression was calm, not as sharp and crazy as usual, and one could vaguely see 50% of his former appearance.

Who would have thought that Mu Wenxuan died at the hands of a cheap prostitute.

Since he lost his ability to have sex, Mu Wenxuan's mentality has become more and more twisted and crazy.

He would spend a lot of money to call the women in the brothel, and then torture them until they were covered with bruises.

Sometimes, the women were tortured to death.

Sect Leader Mu would often choose to pay a large sum of money to the brothel to appease the situation.

As a result, the woman that Mu Wenxuan called that night was a woman with a strong temperament. When she was tortured to death by Mu Wenxuan, she grabbed a hard object nearby and smashed it hard on Mu Wenxuan's head.

After Mu Wenxuan was smashed to death, the woman committed suicide for fear of being held accountable.

The cause and effect of this case are very obvious, but Sect Leader Mu did not believe that things would be so simple. He continued to investigate and indeed found the shadows of many people. The

third elder, the grandson of the second elder, the nephew of the sixth elder, and even...

his two disciples.

When Sect Leader Mu first saw the results of the investigation, he wished he could kill all these people and let them be buried with his son.

Sect Leader Mu knew very well why they wanted to kill Mu Wenxuan.

Only when Mu Wenxuan died, the position of Young Sect Leader would be vacant.

Others would have a chance to take the position.

So they created such an accident that looked very much like an accident.

Did they all take him for a fool, and really think that if Wenxuan died, they would be able to get what they wanted.

In the mourning hall, there was a night breeze blowing through the hall.

Sect Leader Mu's voice seemed to be soaked in frost, and it was inexplicably creepy.

"Wenxuan, the road to the underworld is cold. Don't be afraid when you get there. Dad will make everyone who hurt you pay the price."
