After the master had dinner, he waited for night to fall. It wasn't until a bright moon hung in the night sky and the stars twinkled all over the sky that he put on a night clothes and went to the courtyard of the great elder.
Before he set off, he applied a concoction on his body. This concoction could hide the smell on his body. With the great elder's medical skills, if someone entered his yard, he would smell it. Moreover, he had
The unique medicinal fragrance, the great elder knew that he had come here secretly.
The master soon arrived at the great elder's yard. He touched the roof, then lifted up a tile and looked down.
He saw that the great elder had just sat down to drink tea and seemed to be waiting for someone.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and a man in black flew into the house. The elder said softly: "Are you here?"
"Are you ready?" The man in black was surrounded by air-conditioning, and his tone was very cold.
The great elder nodded, and then said: "Well, it has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to come and pick it up. However, the quantity this time is not very large."
"How much?" the man in black said coldly.
"It's only enough for ten people," the great elder said.
"Huh? Why are there so few?" the man in black said in a colder tone.
"You know the situation in Yaowang Valley. Naturally, these things cannot be collected openly. Moreover, this month, the disciples of Yaowang Valley use more medicinal materials in this area, so there are only ten people left who can prepare finished products.
The dosage." The great elder said slowly.
The master frowned on the roof. The elder was selling medicinal materials privately? What medicinal materials need to be traded privately? Moreover, these medicinal materials seemed to be stolen.
What is elusive is that Yaowang Valley is located on the entire mountain, and the medicinal materials are grown by themselves. Every month, Yaowang Valley also sells medicinal materials to outsiders, and many pharmacies or wealthy families will purchase them directly from Yaowang Valley. Of course, these
All the income is in Yaowang Valley's account. Could it be that the Great Elder steals medicinal materials and sells them for money?
If it was that simple, he would just pretend not to see it. But he didn't expect that this great elder was actually a greedy man. Is it because of this that he was not allowed to marry A'Zi?
The master saw the great elder walking into the inner room. When he came out after a while, he had a tray in his hand, and ten more medicine bottles on the tray and placed them on the table.
"Forget it this time, my hope will be doubled next month." The man in black picked up the medicine bottle and put it away.
"By the way, I have improved the medicine this time so that it will never appear like before. Remember to tell your master that I have written down the usage and it is in the medicine bottle." The elder said slowly.
The man in black was very satisfied, took out a bundle and threw it on the table. When the master heard the sound, he could feel the weight of the contents in the bundle.
After he responded, he left Yaowang Valley. No one knew how he came in, and no one knew how he came in. The master felt that the other party's Qing Gong was not inferior to his, and wanted to follow this person.
If you want to keep up with him, it seems that you will be easily discovered by the man in black.
The master noticed that after the man in black left, the great elder opened the baggage. Inside the baggage were actually golden gold ingots and some silver notes, which seemed to be a large amount. The great elder's face showed greed.
Look.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door: "Dong dong dong."
"Who is it?" the great elder quickly covered the bundle and asked.
"The great elders are Elder Yu and Elder Feng." said the medicine boy guarding the gate.
"Well...let them come in." The great elder said quickly
He wrapped the gold in the cloth he had prepared long ago, leaving only ten gold ingots and a few silver notes. As he spoke, he entered the inner room. When he came out, Elder Feng and Elder Yu
Already walked in.
"Brother." Elder Feng and Elder Yu shouted respectfully. However, Elder Feng's eyes were always staring at the ingot, and his greedy eyes seemed to swallow the ingot.
Elder Yu coughed lightly, and then Elder Feng looked away.
"Why didn't the younger brother come?" the elder asked slowly.
"Senior Brother Zheng is researching new prescriptions, so I won't be coming tonight." Elder Yu said slowly.
"It's good that you came just in time. These gold ingots and silver notes were just delivered. This time, we provided relatively few things, so we only gave us so much. You three can take these and share them.
"After the great elder finished speaking, he pushed Jin Yuanbao and Jinzi forward.
"Senior brother, how good is this? The four of us handled the matter, how could we lose your share?" Elder Yu said seriously.
"If we prepare more next month, the money he will give will naturally be more. Let's leave it as it is this month. There is no need to argue. You can put the money away. We still have business matters to discuss, so sit down." The elder said without hesitation.
said.
The master could clearly see from the rooftop that he had packed most of the gold ingots and silver notes that the man in black gave him in the inner room, but left a few behind. Elder Feng's eyes dropped when he saw it. He must have,
The great elder does this every month, but several elders don't seem to know about it.
"Yes." Elder Yu and Elder Feng sat down after taking the silver.
"Junior Brother Feng, what I told you that day went according to plan?" the great elder asked.
Because the great elder did not clearly explain what the plan was, the master was also thinking about it at this time.
"Yes, sir, please rest assured, senior brother, the plan is in progress." Elder Feng wanted to call the elder elder brother, but he felt something was wrong, so he changed his mind to senior brother.
"Well, I have tried the medicine I gave them before. I have also read the prescription, but there are still some side effects. Therefore, I still have to work hard to continue to improve the prescription." The elder said seriously.
Elder Feng frowned, and then said: "Is this prescription still not effective? But, we have already used..."
"Junior brother, the walls have ears." The great elder blocked Elder Feng's mouth and said.
Elder Feng immediately shut up, and then said: "Then I will go back and tell my junior brother to seize the time to make improvements."
The great elder nodded and indicated that they could leave.
Elder Feng and Elder Yu did not speak during the whole journey, and left the Great Elder's courtyard looking worried.
The master couldn't help but feel suspicious. It turned out that they used the medicine from Yaowang Valley to develop pills, but they didn't know what the pills did. Why was the great elder so mysterious? Even if Elder Feng said more, he stopped him from saying anything. What happened?
What kind of prescription is so mysterious?
When the Grand Master saw that the Grand Elder had entered the inner room but did not come out, he knew that the Grand Elder might be collecting the gold ingots and silver notes. Seeing that there might not be any clues, the Grand Master left the Grand Elder's yard.
After returning to his room, he found that Shangguan Yi was actually drinking tea in his room. He also sat down and poured a cup of tea. After drinking it, he said, "What did you find when you followed the elder Zheng?"
"After you left, I went to the elder Zheng. Unexpectedly, I heard the medicine boy mention that he actually stayed in the medicine room for a whole day and didn't come out. And I just came back, and he hasn't come out yet.
I don’t know if the elder is here, either.
What kind of medicine is developed in the medicine room, it tastes a bit weird." Shangguan Yi thought for a while and said.
"It tastes weird?" The master remembered the formula from the great elder's mouth. Could it be that the pills that the elder refined in the medicine room were made according to the medicine in the formula?
"Well, after I smelled it, I felt that the smell was a little strange. The medicine was very unique. Even when these medicinal materials were mixed together, I could only distinguish a few. The taste was sour and smelly, not too pungent." Shangguan
Yi thought about it and said.
"Even you can't tell the ingredients of the medicine, so what kind of medicine is it?" The master frowned and his mind was filled with the words of the great elder.
"By the way, what did you find out from the great elder?" Shangguan Yi asked doubtfully. He felt that the master looked a little strange, as if he had found something, but he was not sure.
"I saw the great elder waiting for someone. After a man in black came in, the great elder gave the man in black some pills. The man in black threw down the money and left. It seems that they should be there every month
They all trade once. Then Elder Feng and Elder Yu came in." Master said slowly.
"It turns out they stole the medicine from Yaowang Valley to make money. No wonder." Shangguan Yi said slowly.
"I think they are not just trying to make money. Those pills don't look like ordinary medicine. They provide the master of the man in black with these pills every month. Moreover, the formula is improved every month. I suspect that...
The elder also has doubts about the medicinal properties of this pill. Just now you said that the elder has been in the medicine room all day, he may be developing this kind of pill." The master briefly explained what he saw.
"What? Why do I vaguely feel that there is something fishy about this matter? Since the great elder said that this time the medicine seems to have changed compared with the previous ones, then it means that he has tried it. This matter is big or small.
, If he tests the medicine by himself, that's fine. But, if he uses people from Yaowang Valley to test the medicine, then this matter..." Shangguan Yi didn't speak very clearly, but the master understood it.
If the great elder did not take the pill himself, then people from Yaowang Valley were used to test the medicine. Then what will happen to those who take the pill? What disease does this medicine cure? Logically speaking, there should be no
It’s only right that everyone can try medicine.
The master said softly: "You are right. If this is really the case, then all four elders are involved, and they must all be severely punished."
"It's a pity that we all know the prescription and don't know the efficacy of the medicine." Shangguan Yi said regretfully.
"It seems that starting from tomorrow, we need to keep an eye on the elder. Starting from tomorrow, you and I will take turns to monitor and look for opportunities to steal some medicine dregs. Let's see what they are doing." The master said slowly.
"Okay, it's settled. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first," Shangguan Yi said.
"By the way, they should have other plans besides this matter. However, what the Great Elder said was unclear. Elder Feng wanted to speak but was interrupted by the Great Elder. The Great Elder is really an old fox. Over the years, I,
The Valley Master is really in vain." Master said with a little anger.
"You only focus on refining medicine and leave everything to the elders. That's because you trust them. But you didn't expect that they would actually steal from themselves. They must have made a lot of money over the years. I guess the reason why they stopped
You married Azi because you were worried that one day their affairs would be exposed and you would have no chance to refine pills and trade with others." Shangguan Yi said slowly.
"Do you think Ting'er will know their plan?" Master asked with doubts. He always felt that Ting'er should have just listened to Elder Feng's words and did what she did that night.
