My Sword Has a Way

Chapter 59 As expected, he is already dead

Xu Zhian took the black sword and herbs and said to the child beside him, "Your name is Mu Xiangyang?"

The little boy nodded, and the black-clothed boy smiled slightly: "I don't know much about the outside world, but I have heard from others that this world is very big and very exciting. There are many strange stories, fine wines and delicious food in the outside world, but it is also very dangerous."

Mu Xiangyang nodded, with a look of longing on his face, but soon became a little disappointed.

At this time, Fan Jin walked to Mu Xiangyang's side and said, "No matter how good the outside world is, I still think it's not as good as our town. It's so good to be in the town. When you're not busy, you can sit in front of the shop and listen to opera. When you have some free time, you can go to the ditch with your friends in the back street to catch loaches. Besides, we can't go out."

Mu Xiangyang curled his lips, walked back to the herbs in disappointment, and continued to sort them.

At this time, there was a noise at the door of the shop, and two girls in lavender dresses walked quickly into the pharmacy.

One of the girls was pale, with blood at the corner of her mouth, her eyes half-open, and her consciousness a little hazy, obviously she had suffered serious internal injuries.

Another girl shouted as soon as she entered the shop: "Who among you is Yao Banxian?"

Fan Jin on the side muttered angrily, and finally pointed at Xu Zhian.

"Is there any need to ask? There are only four of us in the shop. It can't be him, right?"

The old man at the side said calmly: "Don't be rude."

The old man then turned to the two girls and said, "There is no Yao Banxian in this shop, but there is an old man with the surname Yao."

The girl hurriedly helped her companion to the old man's side and said urgently: "Please, old man, save my sister. She is seriously injured!"

The old man frowned slightly, then said calmly: "You are the monks from Qixia Mountain, right?"

When the girl heard this, her eyes became slightly alert.

Seeing this, the old man smiled faintly, then looked at her companion's injuries, shook his head and said: "I, an old man, can't do anything for the disciples of Qixia Mountain. You should ask for help from someone else!"

Upon hearing this, the girl hurriedly begged, "Old sir, can you please save my sister for the sake of my master's grandfather?"

Old Man Yao frowned and asked curiously, "Who is your great master? Which lineage is he from?"

The girl hesitated for a moment before she said, "My master is Jia Jianchun, the former disciple of the main peak of the lineage."

When Old Man Yao heard this, he sighed and said, "Oh...it turned out to be him. I will make an exception this time, but you have to agree to one condition of mine, otherwise I will not save her."

When the girl heard this, she said happily: "Old sir, if you say so, as long as we can do it, we will definitely agree to it!"

Old Man Yao continued to play with the purple clay teapot in his hand and said calmly: "You have to stay in my medicine shop and do odd jobs, and you can't leave the town, otherwise, you'd better leave."

When the girl heard this, she frowned and looked at her senior sister beside her, hesitating for a long time.

Fan Jin curled his lips and said nonsense: "If you like a girl, just tell her directly. Old Yao, you are really taking advantage of her. Unless you can give me one, I will not come to the medicine shop to do odd jobs in the future."

Old man Yao said with a look of shame and anger: "You little bastard, you know nothing!"

The girl next to him blushed when she heard what Fan Jin said. Just when she was about to refuse, she suddenly saw that her senior sister was barely alive. She gritted her teeth and said, "Old sir, can you change the conditions?"

Old Man Yao knew that the girl had misunderstood, but he still said seriously: "This is my rule. I have followed it for many years and I will not change it. In addition, I am the only one who can save your companion. You have at most half a quarter of an hour to think about it. No more time!"

The girl hesitated for a long time, but still asked: "What do we do?"

Old Man Yao said calmly: "Do odd jobs. The rest of the time, I won't restrict your freedom."

When the girl heard this, she nodded gently and said, "We agree. We only hope that the old gentleman can save my senior sister as soon as possible!"

Old man Yao took out a sandalwood box with two layers, upper and lower, with nine needles on each layer, for a total of eighteen needles.

Old man Yao asked the girl to place her companion on the bed, and then took out three needles from under the wooden box and inserted them into the girl's Zusanli, Tanzhong and Baihui points respectively.

As Old Man Yao inserted three needles into the girl's body, her body shook and her lower abdomen began to rise and fall rapidly.

"Xiangyang, go prepare some hot water and some hay."

Old man Yao said to the little child beside him, then he took out a needle and quickly inserted it into the girl's heart. As the needle was inserted, the girl's body began to emit a faint fluorescent light.

A quarter of an hour later, Old Man Yao said to the girl standing beside him, "She is fine now. She will recover soon after a few days of rest and taking herbal medicine."

The girl standing next to him said happily: "Thank you, old man!"

Old Man Yao nodded and said, "You can call me Shopkeeper Yao from now on. Now that you have entered the cause and effect of the town, as long as you don't leave the town, you will be fine."

The purple-robed girl nodded and said, "I've made a note of Shopkeeper Yao. My name is Su Qing and her name is Chu Yan."

Old Man Yao nodded: "From now on, she will be handed over to you to take care of."

The girl named Su Qing nodded. At this time, Old Man Yao suddenly looked at the black-clothed boy beside him and said, "Stranger, do you also want to stay in my medicine shop and do odd jobs?"

Fan Jin on the side nodded: "I think it's okay, our Jiuzhen Hall will definitely be very lively in the future."

Xu Zhian knew that this medicine shop was not simple, and was even more afraid of the consequences of entering the town, so he quickly declined and said, "I won't stay."

Old man Yao chuckled and said, "Young man, I know a little bit about kendo. I can see that you have a good foundation, so your master must be a good one. If you change your mind later, you can come to me. Acupuncture and kendo are really similar."

Xu Zhian smiled slightly, did not answer, paid for the medicine and was about to leave. Just as the boy was about to step out of the pharmacy, he suddenly stopped, looked at the purple-clothed girl beside him and asked softly: "Miss Su, do you know a fat boy named Liu Zhihu?"

The girl named Su Qing thought for a moment and said apologetically, "I don't recognize him. I have many disciples in Qixia Mountain. I wonder which lineage he belongs to?"

Xu Zhian frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know either. I only know that he seems to be in Elder Li's lineage and is a new disciple who just entered the mountain last year."

The girl asked in confusion, "Is it Elder Li Caiyi?"

Xu Zhian nodded.

Su Qing looked at the boy strangely and asked, "What's your relationship with that boy?"

Xu Zhian said, "He is an old friend from the same hometown. He happened to be in Qixia Mountain, so I asked him."

Su Qing nodded and said, "Elder Li is in our lineage. As for the young man you mentioned, if nothing unexpected happens, he may have died."
