Chapter 2 Medicine Gang

The Medicine Gang is one of the five major gangs in the Southern Wei Kingdom, and the other four gangs are Tianjian Gate, Badaozong, Tiger Gang, and Flying Eagle Gate, which together with the Medicine Gang are collectively known as the five major gangs of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and are the five super strengths of the Southern Wei Kingdom。

The medicine gang is divided into the inner door and the outer door, the outer door mainly recruits registered disciples, their main responsibility is to pick herbs, through the picking of herbs in exchange for points, in order to get the opportunity to become an inner disciple, you must know that becoming an inner door disciple has a monthly money of two taels of silver every month, which is very attractive to poor teenagers living in poor villages, the inner disciples are divided into three categories: beginner disciples, true disciples and core disciples, and each level of disciples is gradually promoted by contributing to the gang. You can also be promoted by strength, but this path is more difficult.

The Medicine Gang recruits a group of disciples from all over the Southern Wei Kingdom every three years, and this year happens to be the time when the Medicine Gang recruits disciples once every three years. Jirentang is the largest pharmacy in Nanyi Town, to which Wang Hong belongs, and it is also the only branch of the Medicine Gang in Nanyi Town.

This year, the Medicine Gang only recruited 30 apprentices in Nanyi Town, of which there were only five introductory disciples, but the number of people who came to participate in the registration exceeded 2,000, and the population of Nanyi Town was more than 100,000, but there were only 30 places, which shows the fierce competition. Another advantage of entering the Medicine Gang is that after becoming an introductory disciple, no one can choose a martial arts cheats from the Medicine Gang's Dharma Protector Hall for cultivation, which also makes many people rush to it, although everyone in the Ancient Continent is still martial, but there are very few people who can really practice martial arts to a high depth, the reason is that there are no martial arts cheats, ordinary people through their own cultivation, boiling the body can only reach the peak of the qi induction period, and it is only that the quality of the body in all aspects is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.

Only by cultivating martial arts secrets and cultivating internal strength can one's martial arts cultivation reach a deeper realm.

On the third day after Wang Hong and Wang Niu came back, that is, the day after the trial, the sky was just bright, and a burst of crisp and messy bells woke up the sleeping teenagers from their sweet sleep.

Hearing the bell, the teenagers hurriedly opened their misty eyes one by one and looked for their clothes. No one dared to delay, and after about a quarter of an hour, the dressed teenagers stood in groups of three or five carrying their bamboo baskets containing medicinal herbs on their backs, and stood in groups on the wide square in the backyard of Jiren Hall.

At the front door of Jiren Hall, a group of young people wearing yellow shirts and holding steel knives, crossed their hands on their chests, looked at the young people in the square with arrogant eyes, and after a while, an old man over fifty years old walked onto the only high platform made of bricks and stones in the square.

"Hmph" A deafening cough spread around, and the square that was noisy just now fell silent in an instant, and the old man looked around, and was very satisfied with the result of the cough.

Wang Hong knew that this was Li Houdao, the head of Jirentang in Nanyi Town, and he was also the number one master of the Medicine Gang in Nanyi Town, and he was a master whose martial arts had been cultivated to the peak of the late stage of Tongmai, but he was more widely known for his medical skills of rejuvenation, which was praised by people in Nanyi Town.

In addition to Li Houdao, the head of the family, there are four deacons in charge of the four key halls of Jiren Hall, namely the Alchemy Hall, the Medical Hall, the Dharma Protector Hall, and the Medicine Collection Hall.

Now I will talk about the detailed rules for the selection of apprentices by the Medicine Gang in Nanyi Town, first of all, I want to tell you a very bad news, more than 100 of the more than 2,000 teenagers who participated in the selection this time have not returned, and they will never come back, in order to make up for the loss of their families, I decided to give each family's ten taels of silver as comfort.

Hearing that there were more than 100 teenagers who did not come back, all the teenagers present did not change their color, and at the same time they were glad that they came back alive.

Next, I will announce the selection rules, the selection of disciples of the Medicine Gang, according to the quantity and quality of the relevant medicinal materials found by each person within the specified time to determine whether you can become an apprentice disciple of the Medicine Gang, the more the number of medicinal materials that you step on within the specified time, the more types, and the higher the quality, then the higher the possible surname of you to become a disciple of the Medicine Gang, I won't say much else, let's check your results in the past month or so.

Immediately, a deacon stepped forward from behind and examined the medicinal herbs in the bamboo baskets of each teenager one by one.

Li Erdan, eight ten-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, seven five-leaf spirit grass seven-year-old, and thirty-two seven-year-old thousand leaf flowers.

Zhao Tiezhu, three Poria cocos flowers are nine years old, eight plants are seven years old, and forty-eight plants are born in ten years of Qianling grass.

...........................

Wang Niu, Frunze 7-year-old, 8 plants, 10-year-old ginseng, 12 plants, 19 9-year-old 9-year-old flowers, 7 5-year-old white turtle grass, and 3 10-year-old blood rhombic flowers.

Wang Hong, eight plants of Frunze, ten years of ginseng, ten plants, sixteen plants of nine-leaf flowers in ten years, nine plants of white turtle grass in fifteen years, seven plants of blood rhombic flowers in ten years, and eleven plants of spoon spirit flowers in ten years.

Hearing the quality, type and quantity of the medicinal herbs that Wang Hong and Wang Niu stepped on, the teenagers were all stunned and stunned, and their eyes revealed the fireworks of jealousy.

..................

Chen Sangou, nine plants of lark grass in ten years, nine plants of Cordyceps grass in ten years, twelve plants of geranflower flowers in nine years, and three plants of demon devouring grass in ten years.

As the medicinal herbs collected by the last person were reported, some people were happy and some were worried, but none of this had anything to do with Wang Hong and the others. Because the two of them surpassed several others with an absolute advantage, it was a sure thing to become a beginner disciple.

Just as Li Houdao announced the results, Wang Hong and the two became disciples of the Medicine Gang and were about to leave, when their eyes flickered, they saw a fat squire dressed gorgeously and almost extravagantly, with his fat son with a fat head and big ears, talking to a person who looked like a deacon in Jirentang. He took out a full money bag from the carriage and stuffed it. With a flattering face, he said, "Deacon Yu, the child's matter, please leave it to you, a little meaning, not a respect."

Deacon Yu glanced at the golden yellow color exposed at the corner of the bag, and weighed the weight of the money bag, which was heavy, and it was estimated that there were no less than two hundred gold leaves.

Deacon Yu's expression did not fluctuate at all, and said nonchalantly, "It's good to say" The old man will take proper care of him and will not let him be bullied among the outer disciples, but if you want to become an inner disciple, it depends on the creation of your kid. In fact, if the favor is enough, it is not impossible to send your kid directly into the inner hall. The identity of the old man, the deacon of the Alchemy Hall, is still somewhat useful. After speaking, he stared at the money bag and made a ten-point gesture.

Seeing that gesture, the fat squire was very embarrassed, he was also a small landlord in Nanyi Town, and letting him pay ten times more money was equivalent to cutting meat from him, if it weren't for this one son, he loved him so much that he wanted to give his son a good future, and he wouldn't spend money to send his son to the wealthy Jirentang in Nanyi Town.

Seeing his son's expectant look, the fat squire said, "Okay, I'll deliver the money to your old hands on time tomorrow."

Seeing the fat squire agreeing so happily, a smile also appeared on Deacon Yu's calm face. Directly took the fat boy from the inner door of Jiren Hall. The fat squire craned his neck to watch Deacon Yu lead his son into the inner door, and then drove away happily.

Seeing that the fat boy was led directly into the inner door by Deacon Yu, Wang Hong and the two were silent, and when they saw the jade inner door waist card on their waists, they showed a relieved smile on their faces.

"By the way, Brother Hong, you haven't told me how you knew that there were so many medicinal herbs in that place," Wang Niu said first.

Wang Hong glanced at Wang Niu meaningfully and said, "You didn't study well before, these are what I saw from the old book of "Drug Essays", the book says that each medicine has its own Xi surname, some medicinal materials like yin, some medicinal materials like yang, according to their Xi surname, we can find it as long as we look for it everywhere."

"Yes, no wonder you always take me with you to hang out in wooded places and lack of sunlight, that's why."

"Brother Hong, is your "Drug Essay" still there, can you lend it to me, it seems that I have to make up for the knowledge of relevant aspects."

"No need, after we arrive at Jirentang in a few days, there will be a better book than "Drug Essays", when the time comes, you just need to study seriously, now our main thing is to tell our parents the news that we entered Jirentang to become an inner disciple, and by the way, give the silver taels in our hands to our parents to supplement the family."

Well, do as you say. Wang Hong echoed Wang Hong and left Jirentang and headed home.
