Jiaoye Village is a small mountain village outside the world. The news about the arrival of a great magician in the village's Dharma temple spread throughout the village a few days ago.
Most of the villagers in the village are medicine farmers. For them, the Dharma Temple is an unattainable existence.
Jiaoye Village is too small, and those pharmacists who can prescribe medicine to treat diseases are not willing to stay, so the magicians of the Dharma Temple take on the responsibility of basic treatment.
The previous magician stationed at the Jiaoye Dharma Temple had to retire and return home due to his old age, and the new great wizard took over the Jiaoye Dharma Temple.
On the day the Archmage arrived, he announced to the public that he would recruit a boy who picked medicine.
The herb picking boy in the Dharma Temple is a big fat man. Not only does he have access to all kinds of herbs and even the knowledge of refining medicine, but he can also serve the new great wizard, and he can even get twenty copper coins a month, which is two
Reward in silver coins.
In the eyes of the simple villagers, if their children could be selected, it would be like smoke rising from the graves of their ancestors.
Although the village chief recommended Yun Sheng, he couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the villagers. They all wanted to send their children to the Dharma Temple.
In the end, the village chief had to discuss with the Dharma Temple and put up a notice to select the herb collectors, which was posted under the bulletin board at the entrance of the village.
The content of the announcement is as follows: Jiaoye Temple is now recruiting a child herb collector. The age range is from six to thirteen years old. There is no gender limit. It is required to have the ability to identify herbs and experience in herb collection. Children who are interested in participating in the selection will be assessed.
On the same day, they gathered outside the Jiaoye Dharma Temple and were uniformly screened by the newly arrived Dharma Master Yang.
On the assessment day, Yun Sheng got up early. After cooking breakfast, she walked to Yun Canghai's bed.
"Father, today I am going to the Dharma Temple to participate in the selection of the medicine boy," Yun Sheng said with some hope. This time the assessment of the medicine boy made her feel like she was participating in the college entrance examination, which was of great significance.
Yun Canghai didn't seem to hear anything and just fell asleep.
Although he had known that the result would be like this, Yun Sheng's eyes still couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment, "Then Sheng'er will go first, I will definitely become a medicine collector."
Listening to Yun Sheng walking out quietly, the room returned to calm.
Yun Canghai sat up suddenly, thinking deeply.
Yun Sheng arrived in front of the Jiaoye Dharma Temple. The Dharma Temple was very busy at the moment, and the scene was no less than the annual magic enlightenment.
Jiaoye Village is a medium-sized village with more than 300 households in total. Today, at least 100 households gathered in front of the Dharma Temple.
Some of them came to watch the fun, and most of them brought their own children to participate in the selection of the herb collectors.
The cause of this scene is the new great wizard in the Dharma Temple.
In the eyes of the villagers, who rarely leave the village several times in their lives, the magician-level village chief and the old magician from the temple are already very impressive. Now that a great magician suddenly came, the onlookers were naturally very excited.
few.
But what surprised Yun Sheng was that in the waiting team she saw, there were many unfamiliar faces, obviously people from nearby villages.
Why do people from other villages come to the selection of medicine-gathering boys at the Dharma Temple in Jiaoye Village?
Those people from neighboring villages were actually from Huoyan Village.
The village chief also noticed that people from other villages came to participate in the selection.
When he posted the notice, he inadvertently forgot to specify that only villagers from his own village could participate in the selection of the herb picking boys.
Fertile water should not flow to outsiders' fields, so the selection of the herb collectors at the Jiaoye Dharma Temple must be done by people from the same village.
Not to mention, Huoyan Village is also the bitter enemy of Jiaoye Village.
Huoyan Village is adjacent to Jiaoye Village, and both villages make a living by growing hemostatic flowers.
Unlike Jiaoye Village, which has simple folk customs, the villagers of Huoyan Village are tough and unreasonable. The village chief of Huoyan Village is also a magician who is proficient in fire magic. Their village has produced a magician who is equivalent to a great wizard in the past few years.
The martial arts masters became even more fearless.
In the medicine market, the herbal trade in Jiaoye Village is often suppressed.
"Guys, the selection for the Dharma Temple in Jiaoye Village is only for children in this village. Please leave here," the village chief grandfather politely asked several children around ten years old to leave.
One of the girls, about seven or eight years old, was quite smart. She was surrounded by several villagers from Huoyan Village.
She is Ding Lei, the granddaughter of the mayor of Huoyan Village.
"Your notice did not state that you will not recruit people from other villages. A few of us went out early in the morning and climbed over two mountains before we arrived at Jiaoye Village. They wanted to drive us away now, so we just
I won’t leave.” Although Ding Lei is young, she is more confident because she has been favored since she was a child and because she is the daughter of the head of Huoyan Village.
What a joke, she had already inquired about this, Master Yang of the Jiaoye Temple, not only did magic, he could also refine various potions.
It's a pity that for some unknown reason, he took the initiative to come to Jiaoye Village. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to work hard and bring a bunch of villagers to Jiaoye Village.
As soon as Ding Lei finished speaking, the villagers and children in Huoyan Village beside her started making noise.
Ding Lei took the opportunity to shout: "It must be your Jiaoye Village that cannot afford to lose. My family has been growing medicinal herbs for generations, and I am still a magic apprentice. If you want to drive me away, find someone to compete with me. If anyone is better than me, we will
Just leave, otherwise, no one will be able to drive us away."
As soon as they heard that Ding Lei's family had grown herbs for generations and was a magic apprentice, the villagers in Jiaoye Village immediately lost their temper.
A magic apprentice who was proficient in medicinal herbs and was only seven or eight years old. Even if two villages were put together, they would not be able to produce one such child in ten years.
Besides, the mayor of Huoyan Village is notoriously vindictive, and if he offends Ding Lei, he will definitely get nothing good from him. In this case, no one will dare to stand up.
When the village chief grandpa saw it, he couldn't help but frown.
"What? No one dares to stand up and compete with me? Jiaoye Village is just like that. They are all hiding their heads and tails. I don't think there is any need to compete today. This herb picking boy must be me," Ding Lei
Arrogantly, he looked around.
"Who said there is no one in Jiaoye Village, it's just a competition of medicinal herbs, I will compete with you," a crisp childish voice suddenly broke into Ding Lei's ears.
I saw a six-year-old girl in simple clothes walking out of the crowd.
She is not tall, has a delicate appearance, and has a pair of dark eyes, which makes her very aura.
It’s Yun Sheng!
When the village chief grandpa saw it, he couldn't help but relax. He was really afraid that no one would dare to stand up and compete with Ding Lei.
"You?" Ding Lei looked at the girl in front of her, and saw that she was younger than herself, and her clothes were shabby, but her expression was not as timid as that of ordinary children.
For a moment, Ding Lei couldn't tell who Yun Sheng was.
A villager from Huoyan Village next to her immediately whispered a few words in Ding Lei's ear.
After hearing this, Ding Lei looked arrogant and said, "It turns out that she is the daughter of a fake magician, a waste who cannot understand the elements of magic. What qualifications do you have to compare with me? Get out of here."
"Today we hired a boy who collects herbs, not a magic apprentice," a lazy male voice came from the direction of the Dharma Temple.
The villagers looked forward and saw that the door of the Dharma Temple had been opened, and a young man in black clothes walked out.
