Chapter 037 Brother
Senior Brother Zheng took Wang Yu's pulse.
Hmm... healthy and strong, but really ordinary, just an ordinary person's pulse! What about the aura and ability of a cultivator?
This shouldn't be the case. This hero is so domineering, how could he have the pulse of an ordinary person?
He signaled to Senior Brother Lin with his eyes. The two of them had both seen a lot of the world, and they gathered around Wang Yu to discuss the matter. Their enthusiasm was so enthusiastic that they did not even remember the fear they had shown in the previous two minutes.
Wang Yu's hand was like a piece of pork in a meat stall, surrounded by two customers who commented on it. One said it was too thin, the other said it was too bland. They would occasionally interject, "Why is a piece of mutton in a pork stall? How can the boss be a man?"
The young man held the sword, put his feet together, and looked up at them arguing obediently.
He was born to be a sensitive person with an instinctive sense of malice. He could feel that they were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
"...Sir, you are so powerful that you actually want to become my disciple?" Bai Tan, the medicine boy at the side, couldn't help but chat with Wang Yu.
"No." Wang Yu paused and said, "I'll look for someone, Master. Please help me find someone."
Bai Tan, the medicine boy, was shocked: "You're looking for someone? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"..." Even Wang Yu couldn't help but stare at the medicine boy speechlessly.
Hasn't he been saying that all the time?
You should listen to what you are saying!
The medicine boy didn't care what Wang Yu thought, and spoke like marbles: "Hey, I thought you were here to challenge me, so I called all the brothers to deal with you, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding! Who are you looking for? Man or woman? Fat or thin? Don't look at me because I'm so young, I know a lot of people! Let me tell you..."
Wang Yu seemed to want to say something but hesitated. The medicine boy spoke very excitedly. While gesticulating, he also tried to pull Wang Yu to interact with him.
A drop of cold sweat slid down the back of Wang Yu's neck. The gossipy eyes of the people behind him were like thorns in his back, and the enthusiasm of the medicine boy Bai Tan made things even worse.
Wang Yu trembled with his lips, trying to speak, but when he thought of the embarrassing situation just now, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Fortunately, the medicine boy remembered it in the end. He slapped his head and laughed heartily: "Sorry, hero! I was so excited that I forgot you were looking for someone. Come on, don't worry about these two! This is what happens when they get excited!"
I was really relieved.
Medicine boy Bai Tan folded his arms and forced his two senior brothers to sit on chairs to continue watching people, while he led the way into the inner courtyard.
Wang Yu followed the medicine boy with a sullen face, away from the crowd's overt and covert inquiring gazes, and a hint of joy could be seen in the boy's steps.
Wanyaotang was built on the top of a mountain. The morning mist gathered in the courtyard, making it look a bit ethereal and fairy-like. From the trees and ponds in the courtyard, one can roughly see the beautiful scenery of the courtyard in the past. But perhaps because it has been neglected for a long time, the trees, flowers and plants have already grown wildly, wild and full of vitality.
"Hero, the senior brothers and sisters in Wanyaotang are all very easy to get along with! I often visit them and know their personalities well. They have good personalities and are easy to get along with. They are all doctors who are very capable. What is the name of the person you are looking for? You tell me! I will do everything I can to help you, even if it means signing a military order!"
Wang Yu replied: "Wang Teng."
"Wang Teng? Wang Teng..." The medicine boy repeated the name. For some reason, he felt that it was very familiar. It sounded like he was a man who could do great things!
The only orderly thing in the courtyard was a small herb field, which was kept exceptionally clean and tidy.
The leaves of the herb are curled up, the meridians are dyed purple-red, and the branches and leaves are stretched out in the sunlight, showing a somewhat casual state.
The medicine boy Bai Tan was impatient and usually walked very fast, but when he passed by the medicine field, he carefully slowed down his pace, and there was even a sense of caution and respect in his actions.
Wang Yu saw the herbal medicine field at a glance and couldn't help but look at the medicine boy silently.
Explain? Why are you silent?
Afraid that the medicine boy would not mention it again after they left, Wang Yu stopped in his tracks in order to obtain information, and said carefully, "This field..."
Upon hearing this, the medicine boy Bai Tan puffed out his chest proudly, as if he had been waiting for him to say this, and he continued to introduce the field: "You can see the extraordinaryness of this field, right? This is a herb cultivated by my most powerful and smartest uncle Hua Tuo. It is called Ma Fei Cao. By controlling the dosage, you can knock a person down and make him lose his sense of pain, so as to treat him!"
Hua Tuo, why does this name sound so familiar? Wang Yu always felt like he had heard it somewhere before.
"My uncle-master is simply a genius! He is the greatest disciple in the history of Wanyaotang! My uncle-master has developed a completely new medical path. He said he wants to travel the world and improve his medical skills. Some of his senior sisters and brothers who also want to explore that medical path followed him. Those of us who stayed behind don't have enough talent."
The medicine boy sighed and secretly hated himself for not being capable enough.
They crossed the field of hemp grass and came to a low hut. The house was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs. Even though they were several hundred meters away, Wang Yu felt his whole body suddenly lifted up.
The medicine boy said something meaningful: "Our Wanyaotang is not simple. To survive in Beizhou, we rely on more than just medical skills. We have a lot of experience in Wanyaotang."
Wang Yu glanced at the medicine boy who was pretending to be cunning, gave him face and said nothing.
After giving this face, the medicine boy became more lively: "If you feel uncomfortable, come and see us, so that we can have more opportunities to see strange cases in the hall! Diseases of your level must be very serious! Everyone wants to see us! Please don't hesitate!"
Wang Yu was silent. He was an ordinary man, normal and healthy, just a little stuttering. Could they cure this?
He likes to be silent and hold a sword behind the crowd, quietly paying attention to everything. His small movements that seem to be unrelated, but he controls everything behind the scenes, show his chivalrous style at first glance, and are really cool.
If he is cured, what if he stutters for too long and can't help talking? Wang Yu was entangled, after all, he would not be handsome in that case!
Bai Tan said, Wang Yu listened, and both sides were very happy for a while, until the medicine boy became confused as he spoke.
He looked at the courtyard and couldn't help wondering: "Speaking of which, where did the brothers and sisters go? Why did it take so long?"
"Wait a minute, maybe he went to make medicine." Bai Tan had no choice but to say, and Wang Yu nodded coldly.
It's true that there is no acquaintance without fighting, Bai Tan thought, this guy has a very good temper, who is he looking for?
Thinking of this, Bai Tan's face became more friendly. He asked curiously, "That guy called Wang Teng? Who is he to you? Has he come to Wanyaotang to seek medical treatment?"
Wang Yu paused: "Friend."
As his fame grew, he had many enemies, so he didn't dare to speak openly about his relationship with his brother.
He then shook his head: "Maybe, he was once a disciple in the hall."
Disciple? Former disciple?
The medicine boy raised his eyes to look at Wang Yu unnaturally, he pursed his lips and changed the subject: "Some senior brothers and sisters have been in the hall for a long time, you go and ask them one by one, they may know the person you are talking about."
Bai Tan muttered, "Anyway, I'm not very clear. I don't know him."
Wang Yu keenly noticed the unnaturalness of Yao Tong. Bai Tan was a passionate person. He was the head of Wanyaotang. If there was someone named Wang Teng in the hall, he would definitely take him there first. This roundabout action...
He sighed slightly and thought, never mind, it seems I have come to the wrong place again.
Bai Tan felt a little embarrassed. He always felt that the hero in front of him had already understood something, so he was too embarrassed to interrupt him and showed a rare sense of embarrassment.
"You are the one who kidnapped my junior brother!"
A sinister female voice suddenly sounded.
Wang Yu turned his head in confusion, only to see several layers of people gathered on the wall outside the courtyard. Some were sprinkling powdery substances on the roof, some were vigilantly holding the cauldrons for refining elixirs, and some were secretly stringing their weapons, seemingly aiming at his chest.
Huh? You just said you were good-natured and easy to get along with? This doesn't look like it!
"call out--"
A rope with a grappling hook caught the equally confused Bai Tan, and the medicine boy was grabbed onto the city wall, and the boy was carried away using his hands and feet to cover his mouth. Bai Tan was so angry that he waved his hands in the air. Seeing this, Wang Yu tilted his head in confusion.
The surrounding temperature was constantly rising, and the air was surging and rolling in front of Wang Yu's eyes, as if it was being burned by something.
Is the sun too strong today?
But now is not the time to think about this. Ordinary people will not be killed by the heat. The most important thing is the woman on the wall.
Wang Yu gripped the hilt of the sword slightly.
The leading woman had disheveled hair and was dressed in black. She stood on the wall and stared at him from top to bottom. The corners of her lips were cracked and there were crooked stitches on her cheeks. The stitched wounds were extremely large and long, reaching to her temples, as if half of her flesh had been cut off and then stitched up with needle and thread. At first glance, it looked extremely terrifying.
The woman licked her lips maliciously and said, "How dare you challenge Wanyaotang? Ha, just in time! I'm still in need of a drug tester! Give me your life!"
Wang Yu pursed his lips.
Under the scorching sun, Jingchun unsheathed the sword, and the sharp sword reflected a dazzling light.
****
"Miss Sui Niang, we in Wan Yao Tang are truly good citizens! Although we did commit many evil deeds in our past, we have already revolted! We stood up! We changed!" Upon hearing the word "medicine man", the head of Wan Yao Tang excitedly explained.
The hall master was a young man with completely white hair. Facing the scrutinizing gazes of Sui Niang and the nun, he anxiously rolled up his sleeves, which were covered with layers of dense wounds, including many bite marks from snakes, insects, rats and ants. Combined with the hall master's gray hair and weathered face, one could not help but feel a tightness in his heart.
Sui Niang and the nun looked at each other, both of them were shocked.
The hall master was anxious, very anxious, extremely anxious.
He has to be anxious.
He wants to live!
The Northern Province is vast and sparsely populated, with no unified court, but it is filled with all kinds of sects. Some are local, and some were driven here from the four provinces of East, West, Central and South. Each of them has unique skills and is particularly good at murdering people and sacrificing civilians from all over the place.
The people of Beizhou had already become numb.
But the representative of justice and judgment, Jade Knight, suddenly appeared. In his first battle, he wiped out the stubborn disease of Beizhou, the Forest of Bewilderment, and he won many victories since then.
In the north of Beizhou, there were several sects that kidnapped young boys and girls as sacrifices. After someone reported this to Master Yu, Master Yu rushed there overnight and executed them that very night without any delay.
On that day, several old ancestors of the sect came out together with great fanfare. The villains present were so arrogant that they tried to divide up the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and even the hair of Jade Hero in front of him.
The sky was full of evil cultivators, who were laughing and cursing. The silent swordsman in the middle of them only had a sharp sword in his hand, which was as small as a drop in the ocean. But when he raised the sword, he killed thousands of evil cultivators, leaving corpses all over the ground, with broken limbs and bones, and none of them survived!
Hero Yu sheathed his sword, with a few drops of blood splashing on his handsome face. He turned and left, setting a fire to burn the bones and corpses, leaving behind a sentence that was sung in Beizhou.
——"The evil ones, even if they are far away, will be punished!"
Hero Yu really fulfilled his promise, traveled around the north to wipe out the evil cult, and restored peace to the North State!
What courage and what a broad mind! The appearance of Master Yu made the people of Beizhou, who had been living in dire straits for years, hold their heads high!
Although there is no Qilin to protect the four directions in Beizhou, there is Jade Hero to protect the people!
The people of Northern Province had been waiting for millions of years, and this was the first time they had drawn the Golden Legend. They went from being in disbelief to worshipping and loving him. In just five years, everyone in the entire Northern Province was a fanatical follower of the Jade Hero. They were afraid that if he could just wave his hand and rise up to establish a dynasty, people would come from thousands of miles away to join him!
After all, compared to those endless number of city lords who gain power by sacrificing their people.
Yu Xia, you are truly one of a kind!
But the leader of Wanyaotang admires him a lot, and it is precisely because of his admiration that he is so anxious. Now he is the one whose sect is about to be overthrown!
Although given the character of Master Yu, he would definitely not randomly destroy a sect, but the predecessor of Wanyaotang was not clean!
Even though eight years have passed, in the eyes of the people, they have long been cleared of all charges, but Wanyaotang was once guilty of all kinds of evil.
Back then, their secret rebellion was successful and they killed the pharmacist of Wanyaotang. But a problem followed: the sects around them were not good people, and if they rashly changed their names, they might become their slaves tomorrow.
Therefore, they could only hold their breath and continue to use the name of Wanyaotang to protect themselves. The medicine slaves also changed from the children of the brokers to the surrounding civilians. On the surface, they abducted the civilians to be medicine slaves, but in fact, they secretly rescued many people who were troubled by strange and stubborn diseases. Of course, they also gained a lot of experience and improved their medicine skills.
They had been in disguise for three years, and their vests were shaky and crumbling. Just when they were in despair, it was Master Yu who stepped forward and exposed those sects that were ready to make trouble. Because they often rescued the people, they survived and finally became famous in Beizhou with their elixirs.
The hall master doesn't want to die, nor does he want to be misunderstood by Master Yu.
The hall master gave a long explanation and laid out a lot of evidence. He said that he had left it there just to commemorate Hua Tuo who had left, but he did not expect that it would come in handy at this moment.
Hua Tuo saved them again.
The hall master explained in detail how they developed rebellious hearts, how they overthrew the pharmacist under the leadership of Hua Tuo, and how they used someone else's trick.
Seeing that the two female warriors looked relieved and obviously believed it, the hall master breathed a sigh of relief, but problems soon arose.
The hall master looked at Sui Niang and Cheng Xin in confusion: "Speaking of which, where is Hero Yu?"
The appearance of Jade Warrior has always been a mystery in Beizhou. In short, people who have seen him just can't remember his face. They only have an ordinary impression. But that's Jade Warrior! He must be as handsome as a fairy!
There are only two female heroes in front of me, where is Hero Yu?
Sui Niang touched her nose awkwardly: "There were too many people and we got separated at the door."
Chengxin pointed out sharply: "Friend Wang is not good at speaking, so he was probably taken as an ordinary person to test his qualifications. Don't worry, he is always treated like this, he has long been accustomed to it."
The hall master said quickly: "I will send a disciple to look for him immediately!"
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, a dusty disciple ran in and reported loudly: "Master! The brothers and sisters have caught a thief who kidnapped Bai Tan! They are teaching him a lesson now! You should go and have a look at the excitement!"
Cheng Xin said "Ah!" and then said with a smile: "It's obviously Brother Wang. Your disciples are really efficient in finding people!"
The hall master’s eyes went dark in an instant.
But even if he fainted, he still had to face Master Yu, so the hall master had to be strong.
In the courtyard, Wang Yu held a sword and watched the medicine boy scolding someone.
The scary senior sister and her fellow brothers and sisters squatted in the corner to reflect on themselves, but were all scolded by Wang Yu in a flash. Their cheeks and clothes were covered with scars, like a group of harlequin kittens.
They all carried the wood ash and coal ash mixture from Wang Yu's scabbard. After all, this guy used the scabbard to poke the fire every day, and just now he used the scabbard to beat someone.
At first, Wang Yu was so angry that he was about to swing his sword, but suddenly he calmed down. He carefully identified the malicious intentions of the people who came again and realized that they might just want to teach a lesson to the villain who kidnapped Bai Tan in their eyes. After all, he did cause a big disturbance at the enrollment site just now.
But they rushed over without knowing why. As an ordinary person, Wang Yu also had a temper. They were all weak doctors. How could they think they could do anything to a swordsman like him? Wang Yu immediately taught them a lesson with his scabbard.
Bai Tan, the medicine boy, kicked one of them angrily: "I told you it's okay! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
The eldest sister said aggrievedly: "I thought you were speaking sarcastically."
"Sit back and reflect on yourself!" Bai Tan said coldly, then sighed and said angrily: "They are impatient, ignorant of worldly affairs, and not calm enough. Really."
You're not much better, aren't you? Wang Yu thought silently.
Wang Yu turned his eyes and looked towards the courtyard gate, only to see a man in black running towards the gate. He threw himself at Wang Yu's feet with tears in his eyes and said, "You must be Master Yu! I have heard of your great name for a long time! I have heard of your great name for a long time! Thank you Master Yu for showing mercy!"
The young man looked at Sui Niang and the nun who were running over with him in confusion.
Sui Niang explained, "There was a misunderstanding regarding the medicine man. The hall master was afraid that you would misunderstand Wan Yao Tang because of the disciple's behavior."
Master Chengxin twisted her Buddhist beads and said slowly, "Besides, he admires you very much and doesn't want you to misunderstand that they are evil and deviant."
Wang Yu lowered his head curiously.
The hall master's old face turned red, with an inexplicable sense of shyness.
Wang Yu: “…”
****
The tenth one was a disciple of Wanyaotang who was passing by and he had an unknown object in his hand.
Sui Niang held her chin and glanced outside, then turned back to look at the hall master who was narrating the "Revolutionary History of Wanyaotang" in a passionate voice.
"…We have been patient for five years and finally waited for an opportunity. In the eyes of the pharmacists, Hua Tuo is their good dog, but they did not expect that Hua Tuo had already stolen the secret formula for the antidote, just waiting for an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Hua Tuo had been planning for many years, how could they resist? We succeeded."
The hall master did not say too many details about that night. He stroked his arm with a nostalgic look on his face, but the listeners could imagine how thrilling that battle was.
"Hua Tuo has always been right. As medicine slaves, we are doomed to die under the hands of the pharmacist. Rather than suffering and being teased by the pharmacist before death, it is better to put in all our efforts and try our best to fight for our lives."
"To be honest, I once thought that Hua Tuo's words were just hypocritical. After all, he was loved by the pharmacist and was extremely intelligent. He was the number one medicine slave. The great pharmacist had said several times that he wanted to promote him from a medicine slave to a pharmacist apprentice."
"If I had exposed him, I might have replaced him and gained his favor, and perhaps I could have escaped the fate of being a drug slave. Fortunately, although I was full of malice, I was a coward and did not report him. Instead, I tossed and turned all night, unable to get over the hurdle in my heart."
The hall master paused and said, "So the next day, when a few people were inexplicably thrown into the snake cave by the pharmacist, I was very lucky because I knew it was Hua Tuo who did it. At that time, I never knew how he did it. He was always omnipotent and omniscient, and knew a lot of things and information that others didn't know."
"It's as if someone has been helping him secretly."
"After that, I was impressed by Hua Tuo's wisdom and ability, and followed him. When he decided to leave, he said to me: 'It is not shameful to be weak, but it is shameful to be mean. The past is over, and the future is just around the corner. You have already walked on the right path. I am lucky and proud to have you as a friend.' At that time, I thought I would be willing to die for him. I should have followed him to find a new doctor, but unfortunately..."
The hall master said it was a pity on the surface, but his expression was very free and easy. Just as Hua Tuo said, he was walking on the path he wanted to take.
"I was injured in the decisive battle, and the children in the hall were also young and immature. I was afraid that they would not survive, so I chose to stay. Fortunately, I stayed, otherwise I would not be here today and would not be able to meet Master Yu!"
The hall master smiled with some emotion.
The head of Wanyaotang stuffed a bunch of pills with different effects into the three people's hands. Wang Yu took them obediently and carried them with a calm expression. However, Sui Niang and Master Chengxin, who were traveling with him, had already seen the turbulent waves in his heart.
The so-called Hua Tuo was probably the pseudonym of Wang Yu's brother. Judging from Wang Yu's performance, it should be him, almost certainly.
They looked at each other and couldn't help but ask for him, "Do you know where Hua Tuo went to study medicine in the end?"
The head of Wanyaotang nodded, as if he had been waiting for them to ask this question: "Hua Tuo went to Nanzhou. One reason is that Wanyaotang was once a sect in Nanzhou, but it was not strong enough and was squeezed to Beizhou. There must be a sect with better medical skills there. Another reason is... Hua Tuo once said that there is something in Nanzhou that he must find. This thing is related to his life, or even higher than his life. He must go."
The three of them had lunch in Wanyaotang. The food tasted very good, and the energy in it was enough to repair the body. It was obvious that Wanyaotang had put a lot of thought into it.
It's just embarrassing to be watched too much.
On the way back, Sui Niang led the way skillfully and comforted her: "Although you have been looking for him in Beizhou for five years, he has gone to Nanzhou. But think about it on the bright side, at least you got the news!"
Wang Yu glared at Sui Niang weakly.
"Your brother is very powerful. Are all Wangs so powerful?" Sui Niang exclaimed: "Your brother had such a hard time before, but he was able to kill the pharmacist!"
"I'm just an ordinary person," Wang Yu retorted glumly.
It didn’t say that his brother was an ordinary person and had improved.
Sui Niang thought with relief.
Nun Chengxin took out a jade bottle from her bosom and said kindly, "Daoyou, would you like to take a pill of my medicine today? This time I added hawthorn."
"I'm not hurt." Wang Yu answered skillfully. The nun always asked this for no reason. The nun's medicine was very effective in treating external injuries, but he was really not hurt. Thank you for the nun's kindness. He appreciated it.
Besides, it’s not easy for the nun either. As a companion, you should be more tolerant of her.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, so they returned to the inn in the cover of darkness.
The lights in the small town are turned off very early. This has been a custom for thousands of years to prevent being too conspicuous and being targeted by ghosts. Only cities that are protected by major sects dare to open night markets.
But there was a light on in the inn in the town, and the owner was smiling as he calculated the bill at the counter.
Wang Yu subconsciously became alert. The shopkeeper's face was hidden under the light. The dim light made his face look sharp. The shopkeeper whispered softly, "Sir, someone is looking for you."
I saw the shadows in the inn begin to ripple like water waves, and in the waves, three people emerged silently.
The leader was dressed in black with dark patterns embroidered on his body. On the surface, he looked honest and simple, but his aura was particularly restrained and calm. It was obvious that he was not simple. The two subordinates behind him seemed to be as strong as the leader, which was shocking.
It was unusual for such a person to appear in such an inn with such subordinates.
The nun took a step back slightly.
"Who are you?" Sui Niang asked first with a cold face, holding the soul-calming bell in her hand.
Wang Yuze took a step forward and held the hilt of the sword threateningly.
"We all admire the demeanor of Master Yu..." the leading man said in a hoarse voice, while the shopkeeper observed silently behind the counter.
A flash of lightning flashed between the shopkeeper, the man, and Sui Niang's brains.
She instantly understood the trick played by the four of them. The elixirs of Wanyaotang were indeed famous in Beizhou, but there were indeed not so many people who would risk their lives to come to Beizhou to attend Wanyaotang's conference. The people who really filled the inn and fully rented the rooms were the four of them who were determined to find out the true identity of Jade Hero!
If we speculate further, the old owner of Bi Bo Villa's sudden act of telling the "medicine man" the secret also seems strange.
Sui Niang's expression was extremely ugly: "***! How dare you plot against us!"
"How dare they plot against us today! I can't even imagine what they'll do tomorrow! Killer God! Go! Let's teach them a lesson and beat them into submission first!"
Wang Yu drew his sword with a cold face, and the sword illuminated the slightly frightened expressions of the three people opposite him.
