Fairy cage

Yu Lie walked straight all the way, wearing a three-stripe Taoist robe and hanging a bronze medal of the middle Taoist boy on his waist. It could be said that there was no obstruction.

After a while, he came to a group of overlapping buildings. It was different from other buildings in the alchemy room. It was built in a square pond, like an island in the lake.

There are scattered Taoist boys in the aisles, laying out squares of paper books, taking advantage of the rare sunrise time to dry the books.

Although Taoists use various carriers such as letter incense and silver mirrors to teach the Dharma, for lower-level ninth-grade Taoists, paper books are undoubtedly the cheapest. The reason why the Yaofang Hall is built in a pool of water is to facilitate the fire. For water collection.

The Taoist boy guarding the hall felt a little strange when they saw Yu Lie, but they recognized Yu Lie at a glance as a middle-ranking Taoist boy and did not dare to neglect them. They hurriedly said, Brother, what are you doing in the hall?

Yu Lie took out his identity card and replied: What are the prescriptions in the hall that are convenient to get, that can improve one's cultivation, and that can help digest copper tendons and iron bones? Pindao is here to find a suitable prescription.

The doorman stared at Yu Lie's brand, confirming that it was genuine, but they were unfamiliar with the name on the brand.

Not daring to show any expression, the gatekeeper Taoist boy quickly invited Yu Lie: Brother Taoist, please come with me.

Entering the prescription hall, the number of Taoist boys in the hall began to increase, and Yu Lie's mouth and nose were filled with the smell of paper, ink, and anti-moth potion and ointment.

Rows of wide shelves appeared in his eyes again, three or four stories high. The books and volumes placed among them were so densely packed that no end could be seen at a glance.

When Yu Lie entered here, he felt in a daze that compared to the library pavilion, this medicine prescription hall was more like a place to store books.

However, he also knew that it was impossible for all the things in the prescription hall to be prescriptions.

Most of them are recorded and archived in each hall of the alchemy room, including collecting medicine, making medicine, refining medicine, and selling medicine. In addition to keeping medicine prescriptions and summarizing pharmaceutical experience, Yaofangtang also has another The main function is to keep records for easy query.

The Taoist boy guarding the door took Yu Lie to a secret door, knocked on the door respectfully, and explained to Yu Lie in a low voice: Fang Wumu is inside, and Taoist brother can do anything about the elixir. Ask fellow Taoist Fang Wumu.

The Taoist boy signaled for Yu Ling to come in, and then withdrew.

Yu Lie stood outside the secret door and immediately raised his eyebrows after hearing the gatekeeper's explanation.

He will never forget that he almost came to work in the prescription hall. The reason why he couldn't was that he was blocked by Mr. Fang, who also took away the bronze medal from his alchemy room and tried to keep it for his godson.

Yu Lie had thought about this before coming here. Would he meet Mr. Fang in the prescription hall?

However, Yaofang Hall has many openings, and the other party is a high-ranking hall leader, so the possibility is very slim. Besides, whether the other party still remembers the rest of his list is a question.

Yu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly: I wonder if the person named Fang here is the godson of that old man Fang?

At this time, a voice sounded from the secret door: Fellow Taoist outside the door, please come in.

Yu Lie pushed the door open and entered. The thick door behind him closed in time, and the light suddenly dimmed, making him frown slightly.

I saw a square wooden table directly opposite the door. A figure shook there, and a modest and apologetic voice came:

The light here is dim to preserve the ancient elixir recipes. It's your first time here, fellow Taoist. Please forgive me.

While explaining, the figure held a red oil-free lamp, which emitted red light, and raised his hand to Yu Lie: Dare you ask your friend's name and why you are here in the hall?

Yu Lie used the lamp in the opponent's hand to glance around and look around the dark room. He found that although the light was dim, except for desks, books, bookcases and other items, there were no other special decorations. It was exactly the same as outside the door.

The only thing that concerned him was that the person in the room was holding an oil lamp, but his eyes were wrapped with a black band. He didn't know whether he had an eye disease or something, like a lamp specially held for visitors.

Yu Lie held up his hands and said, I am a poor Taoist, but I have met fellow Taoist Fang.

Yu Lie?

The figure walking over with the lamp heard this and was slightly startled before saying, Did you come from a poisonous mouth?

Seeing the other party questioning him, Yu Lie thought that the other party knew about the change of Dukou's position, and admitted openly: Exactly.

Who would have thought that the Taoist on the other side, who was originally a humble Taoist, would suddenly lose his power.

Fang Wumu chuckled lightly, threw the oil lamp in his hand directly on the table, sighed and said: I know you, you are the one who presented the bronze medal to your godfather. Have you been in trouble recently?

When Yu Lie heard what the other party said, his face was slightly startled. He realized that he had indeed met Mr. Fang's godson, but he didn't know if it was a simple coincidence or something...

Yu Lie frowned secretly.

When Fang Wumu saw that Yu Lie didn't say anything, he sat back at the desk and said a little arrogantly:

The place at Dukou is remote and full of hard work. Somehow, you insist on going there. A few days ago, news came to the hall from there, saying that there was a charming little boy who bullied his subordinates. , I offended my godfather.

The other party continued to frown and said, I think you have offended someone. Someone is deliberately inquiring about your background. Then why are you here now?

When Yu Lie heard this, his expression suddenly became strange.

It hasn't been a few days since Du Liang calculated Yu Lie. Fang Wumu thought that Yu Lie came here specifically to seek support from his backers because of rumors.

Before Yu Lie could explain aloud, Fang Wumu waved his hand again and said proudly: For the sake of you offering the sign in the first place, I will help you. Say, which hall do you want to switch to?

The man touched the desk: I am here, but I have made acquaintance with many of the gang's bosses. You don't need to find a godfather, I can change it for you myself. But let's make a deal first. When we get there, remember to tighten your grip. To be a good person, you have to have good relationships with your colleagues.

It turns out that the reason why Yu Lie was led to Fang Wumu by the gatekeeper Taoist boy as soon as he entered Yaofangtang is because Mr. Fang specially arranged a job for his godson to welcome and send him off, asking him to receive various middle-ranking Taoist boys. , even superior.

Such a position not only makes it easier for Fang Wumu to check the elixir prescriptions, but also makes it easier for him to build connections and strengthen relationships. It is a position specially created by Mr. Fang to polish and motivate his incompetent godson.

The reason why Fang Wumu was so humble and polite just now was because he thought it was a strange middle-level Taoist boy who came over, and he showed special courtesy.

Seeing that Yu Lie still didn't say anything, Fang Wumu said in an unhappy tone, Why don't you say anything?

Seeing this, Yu Lie looked at his own robe with a dumbfounded smile, then looked at the other party's mostly blind eyes, and thought to himself: This man is the godson of Mr. Fang, but he can't get the bronze medal in the elixir room. Look, The problem most likely lies in the eyes.

He did not let the other party misunderstand, but handed over his hand and announced his identity happily: Yu Lie, a Taoist boy in the poisonous mouth, has met Taoist friend Wu Mu!

As soon as Yu Lie said these words, the dark room became quiet.

The unhappy look on Fang Wumu's face suddenly froze, he settled down, and blurted out: Middle position? Who are you lying to?

Upon hearing the question, Yu Lie took out the bronze identity medal from his waist and placed it firmly on the opponent's table.

Bang!

As soon as Fang Wumu stretched out his hand to press the bronze medal, his face suddenly became filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Because Yu Lie's name and cultivation level were clearly engraved on the bronze plaque, and the quality of the plaque was also genuine. Fang Wumu was well-informed and could tell whether it was true or false at the first touch.

Fang Wumu was stunned, feeling ashamed and angry. Yu Lie is already a middle-rank Taoist boy, but he is now a lower-rank Taoist, not to mention that the reason why he can enter the Yaofangtang is because of Yu Lie's place.

The room was quiet.

The lamp at Fang Wumu's hand was emitting a dark red light, making his face look half black and half red, which was quite strange.

Seeing that the other party was stunned and speechless. Yu Lie smiled, gave the other party a step up, and said:

Fellow Taoist Wu Mu, I wonder how Mr. Fang is doing lately? My previous level was really low, so I didn't dare to bother Mr. Fang and I never went to visit him.

After hearing Yu Lie's words, Fang Wumu suppressed the shame and anger in his heart and laughed a few times.

Zhila! The sound of chairs shaking was heard.

Fang Wumu stood up from the chair and raised his hands to Yu Lie:

Very good, very good. Fellow Daoist Yu was joking. Ever since the last time I saw you, my godfather has been thinking about you. Whenever you come as a guest, my godfather and I will always welcome you!

Seeing the other party's behavior, he was blind anyway, a sneer appeared on Yu Lie's face, showing contempt.

However, the words that came out of his mouth were very kind:

So Brother Wu Mu, can you help me introduce some prescriptions?

Hearing that Yu Lie's voice was still kind, Fang Wumu's shy expression softened a lot. He held up the lamp again and smiled dryly:

Of course, of course, Fellow Daoist Yu, follow me quickly!
