Seeing Qingxue looking like she was about to cry, Jiang Yao quickly touched her head comfortingly and said with a smile:
"Qingxue, my cousin bought a doctor and he will soon pass the medical exam and become a doctor. By then, my uncle will be able to support you."
When Qingxue heard Jiang Yao's words, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
Well, my cousin said that if you can become a doctor, then you can definitely become a doctor.
Dad has said more than once that my cousin is very powerful.
When other customers in the store heard Jiang Yao's words, they couldn't help but look sideways.
This young man has a very nice tone.
He is so sure that he can pass the medical examination at the Great Medical Hall? Does he know how difficult the medical examination is in Baolian Kingdom?
Many people who are talented in studying medicine may not be able to pass the medical examination and become a doctor even though they have endured dozens of cold and heat tests.
If you can pass the exam at the age of forty, you are a great genius.
This is why doctors have a good status in Baolian Kingdom.
This person is so young and said that he will definitely pass the exam. He really doesn't know how high the world is.
After Jiang Yao bought all the things, he also walked around a few streets and found that the business and service industries here are relatively classic, but they are all relatively standardized.
The county town of Yuanye County has a population of more than one million and various industries are prosperous. Handicraft industries such as pottery, wine making, textiles, and construction are all highly developed.
The level of social civilization is already very high.
All the elegant academies and poetry clubs, all the romantic singing stages and dance pavilions, all the martial arts arenas and martial arts halls, all the leisurely teahouses and restaurants, all the vulgar flower streets and willow alleys...
Strictly speaking, this place is not completely mortal. Because the average life span of people is nearly a hundred years old, and they are all born with supernatural powers.
Their power apparently comes from the Lotus Lamp.
Among them, the strong ones not only have unparalleled strength, but can also fly over walls and walls and defeat hundreds of people. Such top-notch strong men are called Wu Kui.
They have no magic weapons, only divine power and fighting skills, just like the martial arts masters Jiang Yao is familiar with.
In addition, there are also some fantasies, such as: a child who died recently can be resurrected if he is lucky.
Beasts and plants that have aged for a long time may become spirits.
In Jiang Yao's opinion, it should be considered a world of low martial arts + low magic.
But even the masters in the world of low martial arts and low demons cannot be dealt with by the great immortal who has lost his cultivation and magic power.
Therefore, Jiang Yao can only keep a low profile here. Even if there is a master like Xiao Hei, he still has to be honest.
The reason why people in this world are born with supernatural powers is not without reason.
It turns out that although this world is bright and prosperous, there are many powerful ferocious beasts, bugs, spirits, and evil spirits in the mountains, forests, and rivers.
There were also some mountain bandits and water bandits who robbed homes and houses.
It's actually not very safe.
There are also some powerful foreigners coming in, such as people like Jiang Yao.
That's why they have the power to protect themselves.
After finishing the shopping, there were only two inches of lotus leaves left for the ginger medicine (the calculation in the previous chapter was wrong). With these two inches of lotus leaves, he planned to buy some food and give some to Cui Wei and Li Xixia.
Jiang Yao led Mu Qingxue back, followed by Xiao Hei, who was swaggering around the market.
This "threesome" was extremely eye-catching, and passersby cast curious glances along the way.
Jiang Yaozheng was walking to the intersection of Temple Street when he suddenly heard a woman's curse:
"Look how you look like a dog, how dare you eat for free! This is the second time you eat for free!"
Jiang Yao stepped forward and saw a heroic man with vertical eyes between his eyebrows, standing on the street with an embarrassed look on his face, surrounded by several people.
The female shopkeeper who looked like a landlady pointed at the man and said to the crowd of onlookers:
"Comments from neighbors and guests! This man came to the shop the morning before yesterday, ate a plate of braised beef, ordered a pound of rice wine, and drank slowly until the sun went down. I didn't say anything."
"Who would have known that he would not pay the bill in the end and just ran away while I was napping."
"I don't care about it. I just treat him as a meal and a meal. It's not worth it. Opening the door to do business, is it good to make money?"
"Who would have thought, this person is here again today. I thought to myself that this guest is so dignified and has extraordinary bearing, he should be a face-to-face person. We will definitely pay the bill together today, so we still warmly welcome him."
"I never expected that after he finished eating and drank enough, not only did he fail to pay yesterday's debt, but he also had to eat today's food and wine for nothing. It's ridiculous. This guy actually took advantage of me not paying attention and tried to repeat the same trick by rubbing oil on the soles of his feet."
The crowd of onlookers looked angry when they heard this.
"What a filthy freeloader! Don't judge a person by his appearance!"
"Ha! How different is this from those prostitutes in Fireworks Alley!"
"Gentle scum! This wind can't last forever, don't let him go!"
"Take it and see the official!"
The heroic man with the vertical eyes between his brows had a bitter look on his face and a depressed attitude. He could only say:
"I am extremely hungry and have no body, so I came up with this plan. I hope this lady will show her kindness..."
"Fart!" the landlady got angry and yelled with raised eyebrows, "You are an arrogant man with no disabilities, neither crazy nor stupid, how can you be so helpless?"
"What can you do in such a big county without food? How can you starve to death a living person? It's just a matter of idleness and idleness!"
She caught a glimpse of Mu Qingxue who looked like a porcelain doll, and immediately pointed at Mu Qingxue and said:
"Look at that girl! She has no father or mother, and is all alone. She has been living in the city at the age of two, but she has managed to grow up to the age of six!"
"Look at you again. You are a grown man with hands and feet. How dare you say that you will starve to death? Give me money!"
"You see, I am a woman with a thin face and a soft heart. That's why I dare to come and eat for free for the second time!"
"I have a small business, and if I can't pay the bills today, I have no choice but to send you to see the official!"
After saying that, he grabbed Bai Xiake's sleeve and said, "Let's go! Go see the official!"
The man became anxious and stamped his feet: "Oh, this lady! It's just a few inches of lotus leaves, why should I see an official? I owe you today, and I will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
"Let go, let go first..."
The female shopkeeper spat: "Bah! If you are like this today, why do you say you will retaliate in the future? How can there be a future? I believe you are a ghost!"
She was so angry that she said she had become an old woman.
People here are born with supernatural powers, even a woman. The female shopkeeper grabbed the man, but he couldn't break free.
In his desperation, he shouted to a woman in the crowd who was watching the excitement and had a pair of delicate horns on her head:
"Friend Hai Dao! Lend me a few inches of lotus leaves first, and I will repay you later!"
The woman with delicate horns took a few steps back and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, please forgive me, but my little sister is helpless and trying to make a living, so there is nothing I can do to help her."
When the man surnamed Yang saw the woman surnamed Hai's face, he knew that she had no choice but to shout:
"Then please ask Junior Sister Hai to ask Fellow Daoist Pan, Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Li, and Fellow Daoist Cui to help..."
The woman surnamed Hai smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I just left them and they were all very poor. Lao Pan was the worst. He didn't eat for four or five days."
"I finally sold everything I could sell."
"Compared to us, you are the best. At least you are not hungry now."
The crowd of people watching immediately started talking, looking at the man named Yang and the woman named Hai who kept pointing.
It turns out that these two people are both members of the temple’s lay community.
No wonder.
I heard that several guests came to Jushiyuan ten years ago. They were always lazy and idle, just selling things to make ends meet.
Strangely enough, the seven or eight guests were all noble and distinguished, like gods. At first they were all awe-inspiring, and they did not dare to feel contempt at all.
But as time went by, everyone no longer respected these guests.
First of all, they look respectable, but their strength is no greater than that of ordinary people, and their skills are no more powerful than others.
Secondly, I heard from people in the government that these people's merit records have always been unclear, which shows that their moral character is average and not higher than others.
Third, these people have a common characteristic: laziness.
They don't have any profession, they don't work hard, they look aloof, their nostrils are turned upward, and they don't take the initiative to communicate with the outside world.
When these guests still had money, they heard that they were well-fed and well-fed, but they didn't know what frugality meant.
I never thought about using money as capital to run a business.
Sure enough, now that they have sold out everything, will they finally go hungry?
Suddenly, everyone looked at the two people with contempt.
What’s the point of being good looking? He’s not just useless scum.
Jiang Yao saw this scene and immediately guessed the origins of these two people.
It must be the ancient demon of the demon clan and the ancient demon immortal of the demon clan!
The ancient immortals who have the ability to fake death and live forever, and who have awakened now, are not ordinary ancient immortals!
Each one of them is a peerless power that makes the world tremble and the situation changes.
They went to the Black Abyss decades ago. The real world thought they were doing something mysterious and important in the Black Abyss, but unexpectedly they were all trapped here, living in a field without food.
As a result, Jiang Yao immediately stopped.
He clasped his fists at the female shopkeeper and said, "This lady, how many inches of lotus leaves does he owe you?"
The female shopkeeper was actually very talkative and said directly: "In reply to the customer, I owe you six and a half inches of lotus leaves. Even if you erase the fraction, it's still six inches."
so much!
Jiang Yao frowned and said, "This lady, I want to pay the bill for him, but I don't have that much money for the time being."
The female shopkeeper pointed at Mu Qingxue and said, "May I ask my little brother, what is your surname? Who are you, Qingxue?"
Jiang Yaodao: "He is Qingxue's uncle in Mu Longcheng."
The female shopkeeper nodded, "Okay, Mr. Mu, for the sake of little girl Mu, I allow you to vouch for it. Within half a month, my little brother can return the six-inch lotus leaves for him?"
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "Why half a month? I will pay him back in full within ten days."
The female shopkeeper then let go of her hand and said to the man surnamed Yang: "Okay, you can go. Humph, if it weren't for little girl Mu's sake, no one else will be allowed to vouch for you today."
The man handed over Jiang Yao with relief, "Fellow Taoist Mu, I'm Yang Taiwei, thank you. Taoist friend, is he also a foreign guest?"
Jiang Yao also handed over his hand: "Exactly, I just opened it for a day, and I am also living in the temple's lay courtyard."
He whispered: "My surname is actually Jiang, not Mu."
Yang Taiwei laughed, "So, we are still neighbors." He pointed at the woman with delicate dragon horns, "This is Fellow Daoist Hai Langhuan, and she is also one of our own."
Hai Langhuan immediately greeted Jiang Yao.
Both of them knew that the outsiders who could enter this wonderful realm were all very well-established people. The same was true for this fellow Taoist named Jiang.
Immediately, the three of them became familiar with each other.
Jiang Yao soon learned that Yang Taiwei had been here for eleven years and Hai Langhuan had been here for ten years.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but ask: "You two fellow Taoists, why don't you try to make money to make ends meet? This is not a long-term solution."
Yang Taiwei and Hai Langhuan looked at each other and sighed: "When I finished the last inch of lotus leaves a few days ago, I was thinking of a solution."
"But I've been here for more than ten years, and I've been doing nothing. I don't know what to do for a while."
"Five days ago, I went to the county governor's office, hoping to get an official position, but they actually said that I was not even qualified to be a minor official."
"This is really unreasonable! Even if you don't have the official position of county magistrate, you won't even be given the position of second assistant."
Hai Langhuan also sighed: "I want to be a temple priest and a steward in the temple. Is this too demanding? But I was rejected by the high priest, saying that I am not qualified."
"Haha, I am not qualified to be in charge of a small temple?"
Yang Taiwei shook his head, "So, it's not that we don't want to make money and do things, it's just that we have no chance."
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "The two Taoist friends are still too demanding. No matter whether it is an official or a temple official, they are all in charge of people. We have status and status, so why should it be our outsiders' turn?"
"Looking at the city, all industries are prosperous and everything is available. There are many things that can be done. Why not give it a try?"
Yang Taiwei shook his head: "We have no capital and can't do business. As for those chores, they are not suitable for me after all."
"What we are most suitable for is to be officials, priests, etc. Apart from these noble things, we can barely do it, and there is too little we can do."
Jiang Yao pointed to the medicine knife and silver needle in his hand, "I'm going to take the medical examination at the Great Medical Hall. Is this doctor pretty decent?"
"Ha!" Yang Taiwei laughed as he walked, "Not to pour cold water on brother, Brother Jiang, you really think too much."
"Doctors are not bad. They are one of the few good professions after being an official and a priest. They earn a lot of money, can easily light up their merit books, and they also have a certain status."
"But it's very difficult to pass the exam for doctors, including Gua masters!"
Hai Langhuan said, "That's right. Brother Jiang, we have four Medicine Dao Immortals, but none of them can pass the exam!"
"Li Xixia, who has the strongest medical skills, failed to pass the exam three times. According to the rules of the Great Medical Hall, she can only take the exam three times at most."
What? So difficult to take the exam? Even Li Xixia, the master of medicine, failed to pass the exam three times in a row?
"Junior Brother Jiang, even if you are also a Medicine Immortal, your probability of passing the exam is negligible." Yang Taiwei said.
"Our medicine cultivation and the power of perception are completely banned here and cannot be used at all. We are almost like mortals. Moreover, the medicine here is very different from the fairy world, and many treatments are very different from the fairy world."
"For example, scraping, massage, fire therapy, cupping, medicated baths, bloodletting, bone setting, etc. may seem simple, but they all require long-term practice."
"The prescriptions, diseases, medicines, and medical scriptures here are also very different from those in the fairy world."
"It sounds like medicine, but in fact it's almost completely different from the world of immortality. Without decades of study, it's very difficult to pass the rigorous examination of a great medical hall."
"We haven't been here long, and we have even less time to take the medical exam. How can we pass it?"
"Most of the doctors here come from medical families and have been exposed to it since childhood."
"Unless we study hard for ten or eight years, it will be difficult to pass the exam. The question is, do we still have the time?"
In short, it is like a big basin of cold water.
But as soon as Yang Taiwei finished speaking, the little girl Mu Qingxue spoke.
"My cousin will definitely pass the exam!"
"Huh?" Yang Taiwei and Hai Langhuan couldn't help laughing.
"Little girl, I also hope your uncle can pass the exam. But it's too difficult, unless your uncle is a medicine spirit body, haha." Mrs. Yang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but smile.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Jiang Yao found an excuse to say goodbye to them.
After that, Jiang Yao took the last two inches of lotus leaves and bought eight beef buns.
When Mu Qingxue saw that all the money was spent, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Cousin…
Jiang Yao returned to Jiuyunju and came outside the north wing and said: "Senior Xixia, I will give you two buns."
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened immediately, revealing a face that would captivate the entire country.
It is Li Xixia.
Li Xixia showed an astonishing smile, but before she spoke, the door to the west wing opened, and Cui Wei, who heard the commotion, also came out.
"Jiang Yao is back too?" Cui Wei greeted, "There are so many buns, please give me a cushion."
ps: Brother Yao, who came from behind, will he become the leader here? I won’t write more about this very important copy. Good night, Crab!
