Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 7 I can only help you so far
The presence of ancestors is like an extra layer of protection.

Then your chances of success will be greater no matter what you do.

At least, some of the unfavorable factors can be eliminated.

But if the 'spirits' in the ancestral hall, that is, the ancestors, were gone, it would be an extremely dangerous thing for anyone in the village.

Because this invisible protection is gone.

Then after entering the water, the probability of drowning will greatly increase. If you fall from a big tree, you will be seriously injured if you don't die. Nothing you do will go as smoothly as you expected.

Even something that was originally nothing may turn into something serious.

Chen Yushu was familiar with the memories of his previous life, and was also aware of some of the situations in this world. He immediately understood something, but he still asked, "Why is it gone?"

“In fact, the Liu family was not originally from our Beijiao Village.

Thirty years ago, their family moved in with the permission of the village elders.

However, the Liu family has indeed made great contributions to the village, and even to our entire Beijiao Village.

The main reason was that there was a witch in the Liu family at that time.

He is a man who is more capable than Uncle Zhong. He is a man who truly understands the Yin and has great spiritual power.

Because of the ghost woman, our village has hardly suffered any disasters, and we even prevented a disaster that almost wiped out the entire Beijiao Village.

The whole village is actually very grateful to their family.”

He paused and continued, “But ten years ago, the ghost woman had an accident and died outside.

Because of this, the 'Yin' that was sealed off in her family at that time rioted directly and killed all the 'spirits' in the ancestral hall of the village.

Later, it was Liu Yong, Liu Qiaoer's father, who took action to quell the rebellion.

But he himself died in that turmoil.

Therefore, although the disaster was caused by the Liu family, it was only settled because of the intervention of her family.

Plus, in the end, only the widow and her son were left alive in the Liu family… The villagers still respected morality and didn’t drive them out, but they certainly didn’t treat them well.”

After hearing this, Chen Yushu suddenly understood.

The "spirits" in the ancestral hall are equivalent to the ancestors of every household in the village.

Their ancestors were killed, and even though the Liu family had done great favors to the villagers in the past, they were simply unable to forgive them.

But because of this, Chen Yushu also confirmed that Liu Qiaoer was definitely not a simple person.

She definitely saw the 'ghost' when it came out just now.

Even at the very end, when the ghost was about to pounce on him, it was most likely her or her mother who took action.

And according to what her father said, her family had a ghost woman who was "communicative of the underworld" and "skilled in Taoism." So does that mean that her family is also very likely to have the corresponding cultivation heritage?

And her family's inheritance would be more advanced than Uncle Zhong's?
Suddenly, Chen Yushu's mind began to waver.

He was extremely curious and eager about that business.

In particular, for some unknown reason, he found that he had become special and could see ghosts during the day.

He didn't know if his 'spirit' was 'sufficient', but seeing 'ghosts' so often every day and feeling helpless made him feel helpless and powerless.

If this continued, he estimated that even if he was not killed, he would become a nervous wretch.

"You have to learn the skills as soon as possible."

Chen Yushu sighed inwardly, and his eyes became determined.

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the door of a drug store.

This is the purpose of their trip, the Liu family pharmacy.

Looking through the door of the drugstore, it was very spacious inside, with rows of medicine cabinets arranged in an orderly manner. There were four or five medicine boys busy inside, preparing and decocting herbs. From a long distance away, he could smell the various special medicinal odors inside.

In addition, there were doctors, shopkeepers, patients, coughing, and talking sounds all mixed together.

Chen Baihe brought Chen Yushu inside, looked around for a while, and then quickly walked towards a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Manager Zhou, are you busy?" "It's Xiao Chen, you're here to deliver the medicine.

It’s still the same as before, you can just put it in the backyard, and someone will help you count and record it.”

The Liu Family Pharmacy is the largest pharmacy in Jianghuan Town. Although they have their own medicinal fields, the demand for mountain products and medicinal materials is still very high.

Moreover, there are many good things in the mountains, especially some spiritual materials and precious medicines, which are extremely difficult to grow only by planting in medicine fields.

Therefore, they are very polite to the herbalists who can deliver medicinal materials steadily.

"Manager Zhou, can you please spare me a moment?"

Chen Baihe spoke cautiously, then walked to the corner at the signal of Manager Zhou, and then said, "Take a look at this."

As he said this, he carefully took out a wooden box from his arms.

He carefully protected the box all the way, touching it from time to time to make sure it was still there, and only felt at ease when he entered the pharmacy.

"Ok?"

Manager Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he opened the wooden box, his eyes soon lit up, and he kept saying, "Hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, precious ginseng seeds, Xiao Chen, you are lucky.

This precious ginseng seed is in complete condition and is worth at least thirty taels of silver.

Of course, I still need to ask the shopkeeper to check the exact amount before I can confirm it."

"Manager Zhou, this is it.

I heard that your pharmacy has a rule that if someone can collect precious medicine, then you can send him to your pharmacy as an apprentice..."

Hearing this, Chen Baihe breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke carefully.

"That is indeed the case."

Manager Zhou nodded, glanced at Chen Yushu who was standing next to Chen Baihe, and said, "But if you do this, you will lose your ginseng, and we won't have any money to give you."

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Baihe nodded repeatedly, obviously knowing this rule long ago, and said: "This is my son, Chen Yushu.

This time I want to use this precious ginseng seed to exchange for the opportunity for my son to become an apprentice in your Liu Family Pharmacy."

"I've met Manager Zhou."

Chen Yushu was also very well-behaved and spoke quickly.

“That’s clever.

How old are you? Can you read? "

Manager Zhou nodded and asked casually.

"I'm twelve years old now. I've been studying in a private school for two years and I can already read."

Chen Baihe on the side said helpfully.

“That’s good, I don’t have to learn from scratch.

OK, I'll take this up, you guys discuss it, and I'll go and let the shopkeeper know."

Manager Zhou pondered for a moment, but without any hesitation, he walked into the pharmacy.

“Yushu, Daddy, I don’t have much ability, I can only help you up to this point.

This Liu Family Pharmacy is also well-known in the town. You must be diligent and study hard in it. If you learn well, you may become a doctor, and you can also learn martial arts. "

Chen Baihe looked at Chen Yushu and spoke.

"Don't worry, I will."

Chen Yushu nodded, feeling a little excited.
