Chapter 137: Xia's Divine Craftsman (Asking for Tickets and Subscriptions on Monday)
In the same night, Chu Xian was also watching.
It's just that there is no food and wine by his side, only a thick file and loyal guards.
"It's late at night, and it's time for adults to rest after a tiring day. Qi Chengxiang next to him said that Chu Xian had just come to Dinghai County for two days, and he had such achievements and breakthroughs, and Qi Chengxiang was naturally impressed.
And because he has been following Chu Xian for a long time, Qi Chengxiang doesn't think anything about it, because in his opinion, no matter how troublesome the dilemma is, Chu Xian has a way to solve it.
This is also the reason why he is willing to follow Chu Xian to Liangzhou.
"Don't worry, Chief Qi Dao, I'm bothering you to go on a trip and buy some medicinal herbs and come back. At this time, Chu Xian handed over a note that had already been written.
Qi Chengxiang took it and took a look, there were more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials listed on it, and it was already night, and the pharmacy in the county should have closed long ago.
However, since it was arranged by Chu Xian, Qi Chengxiang didn't say a word, and directly turned around and went out to do something.
In less than half an hour, Qi Chengxiang came back, taking the medicinal materials that Chu Xian asked him to buy.
This night, Chu Xian didn't have much rest, refining the pill in the first half of the night, and practicing the distraction imperial golden trick in the second half of the night, Chu Xian knew that if he wanted to do something, it was not enough to rely on official skills, relying on official power and improving cultivation was the right way. Some people and officials, thinking that everything will be fine after becoming an official, you can be comfortable from now on, in fact this is not the case, just say a little to understand the importance of cultivation, when the Tiantang Holy Dynasty was first founded, if it was not for the emperor Taizong to cultivate to the sky, overwhelming the gods and Buddhas, where is the holy dynasty thousands of years of prosperity? If so, the people will still be ruled by the gods and Buddhas, like ants.
Because of this, Chu Xian did not dare to waste his cultivation.
At dawn, Chu Xian returned from the night tour and opened his eyes.
Qi Chengxiang had already prepared breakfast, the two of them ate, the former asked if he wanted to be promoted to the hall today, Chu Xian shook his head: "The official authority that should be established yesterday has been established, and there is no hurry to promote the hall, go out to do something first." ”
Qi Chengxiang didn't ask much, and immediately cleaned up after eating.
Last night's out-of-body night tour, Chu Xian walked around Dinghai County a few more times, after all, he came three years later in the dream, and now there are still some places that are different from Chu Xian's memory, but they are basically the same.
The same should be true for the people of Dinghai County.
If Chu Xian wants to control Dinghai County, he must control a few people, one is Jiang Yuan, and the other is Xia Bozhong, who has become a clerical officer, Jiang Yuan is not in a hurry, after all, the nickname of this old fox is not called in vain, and there is no friendship with each other in this life, so you have to take your time, as for Xia Bozhong, Chu Xian has to accept his heart today.
Walking all the way, Chu Xian turned around and arrived at a private house.
Because it has not been repaired for a long time, it looks very dilapidated, and Chu Xian motioned for Qi Chengxiang to step forward and knock on the door.
Soon, there was a coughing sound from inside, the courtyard door opened, and an old man appeared in front of Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang.
The experience of that year in Dinghai County is Chu Xian's biggest reliance on being able to control Dinghai County in a short period of time, just like yesterday when Chu Xian recommended Xia Bozhong as a clerical officer in the court, not only because in the previous life, Chu Xian and the other party were friends, but because Chu Xian knew Xia Bozhong very well, knew the other party's strengths, and also knew the other party's weaknesses.
Xia Bozhong is a local, at least three generations of grandparents have settled here, Chu Xian knows that Xia Bozhong's family is poor, because it is in the border area, so more than ten years ago, there are often demon invasions, there are many people in the Xia family, all of them died in the invasion of the demon clan, until now, only his parents and a sister are left, his sister married away from home, only his parents are left, and because Xia Bozhong's old father was injured in his early years, so his health has not been good, even if Xia Bozhong has been on an errand in the county government for more than ten years, he can only barely maintain.
As for getting married, it hasn't yet, like Xia Bozhong in his thirties and hasn't started a family, even in Dinghai County, it's rare.
However, Xia Bozhong became a clerical official, from an official to an official, and his status is not the same as that of Yu Lu.
The old man who opened the door was Xia Bozhong's old father.
It looks like an ordinary old farmer, with tanned skin, thin skin, and the perennial illness seems to have dried out the old man's body.
No one could have imagined that such an ordinary-looking old man would actually be a craftsman with exquisite skills and a master-level craftsman.
Even Xia Bozhong may only know that his own father is an ordinary blacksmith, who helped people mend pots and sharpen knives and repair plows in his early years, but he doesn't know that his father is better at building weapons.
Master craftsman, that's not called for nothing.
How many can there be in the whole Liangzhou?
Chu Xian knew this secret thing, but it was also because of a coincidence, as for why Old Man Xia didn't pass on the family craft to Xia Bozhong, or even let his son know, Chu Xian didn't know the reason.
This time, Chu Xian came for two things, the first was to help Old Man Xia cure his old illness, and the second was to ask the other party to help him create a few things.
Chu Xian didn't have time, and there was no need to beat around the bush, so he directly expressed his intentions.
"Xia's divine craftsman, fifty years ago, was named Zhenliangzhou, and the weapons he made were hard for others to find, but I didn't expect that in just fifty years, the Xia family would be so defeated. ”
The opening sentence is like this.
That old man Xia's face immediately changed greatly, because he knew very little about the past, fifty years, the years passed, and the glory of their Xia family had almost been forgotten, even his son Xia Bozhong didn't know about this past.
"You're looking for the wrong person. Old Man Xia is about to close the door immediately, and he doesn't seem to have a good temper, but Chu Xian has already had a way to deal with it, and he said at the moment: "The demon clan has invaded, how can there be eggs under the nest?" Old man Xia, you don't have to forget the ancestral training of the Xia family, besides, you don't have a choice. ”
After speaking, Chu Xian stepped in.
This is already considered trespassing on the house, but Chu Xian is strolling leisurely, he already knows that Old Man Xia has a stubborn temper, and those who have the ability are stubborn, but it doesn't matter, no matter how stubborn the person is, Chu Xian has a way to clean it up. Of course, Chu Xian also wants to be kind, but the reality does not allow it, so he must be ruthless when he should be ruthless, and when he should use means, he must not be soft.
Otherwise, it will harm others and oneself.
In the house, the old lady Xia also came out, obviously, she was boiling medicine in the back, and when she heard the movement, she walked out, and the old woman Xia was worried and asked the old lady Xia to go back, but the latter did not listen.
"Who are you and what are you going to do? This is Dinghai County, and my son is on an errand in the county office, believe it or not, I will call someone to arrest you. "Old Man Xia began to scare people.
Chu Xian smiled, estimating that Xia Bozhong had not returned overnight, after all, he had just served as a clerical officer, and there were too many things to deal with, so no one in the Xia family knew the news of Xia Bozhong's becoming an official.
Chu Xian stepped directly into the topic.
"I'm here this time to ask Mr. Xia to open the furnace and make the utensils, of course, I won't let the old man work in vain, how much you should be paid, there will be no less. Chu Xian got straight to the point.
Old Man Xia coughed a few times at this moment, his tone softened, and he shook his head and said: "This son, although I don't know where you heard about the old decay, but that was all in the past, the Xia clan has fallen, and the old decay has already been sealed, please go back." ”
Politely refuse.
Chu Xian was unmoved: "If you can seal the furnace, you can open the furnace, and Old Man Xia can also repeat the glory of the Xia family." ”
Old Man Xia frowned, obviously he also saw that these two people did not stop if they did not achieve their goal, and said at the moment: "The two of you are still looking for another place, and the Xia family is not the only one in Liangzhou, besides, the old body is not as good as before, and he has been riddled with illnesses for a long time, even if he has the heart, he is powerless." ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Xia's expression was gloomy, obviously his physical pain had indeed tormented him for many years.
Chu Xian said with a smile: "It's okay, in this world, there are not many truly incurable diseases, and Old Man Xia's illness is not incurable." ”
At this moment, Old Man Xia was extremely angry and laughed, and said with a mocking face: "Childe is young and vigorous, it is inevitable to say some arrogant words, listen to your meaning, can you still help the old man relieve the disease? If this is the case, then the old man is free to open the furnace for the child, what is the difficulty!"
"That's what you said. Chu Xian grabbed the other party's handle, and then directly took out the pill refined last night from his arms and put it on the table: "Take three pills a day, once in the morning, noon and evening, at most three days, your old disease can be a good one, originally you were not a big deal, but you were injured in the early years, touched the heart, and did not adjust and recover in time, which led to a lack of strength, qi and blood deficiency, and then saw a quack doctor, indiscriminately used medicine, and the body collapsed, and I thought it was an incurable disease, in fact, in my eyes, it was nothing at all." In three days, I will come again, I hope that Old Man Xia will not break your word. ”
After that, just leave.
Qi Chengxiang followed closely, and the secret Dao Lord in his heart began to appear in front of people again.
But this feels really good, and the old couple of the Xia family are dumbfounded.
As for why Chu Xian knew so many things, and he was also proficient in medical and pharmaceutical techniques, although Qi Chengxiang was curious, he never asked, he only knew that Chu Xian did everything right, and he only needed to do his duty to assist in protection.
After Chu Xian left, it took a long time for the old couple of the Xia family to come back to their senses.
It was also because Chu Xian was too strong before, and he said that he could cure Old Man Xia's old illness, so he was suppressed.
Xia Song, that is, the old man Xia, looked at the bottle of medicine on the table, looking hesitant, his wife Xia had already stepped forward to pick it up and opened the cap.
Suddenly, a smell of medicine gushed out, and it was very spicy.
"Old man, is that person's words credible?" Xia asked, Xia Song pouted and said, "Where do I know, I don't know who those two are, but the medicine doesn't look fake." ”
"How do you know?" Xia Shi was not convinced, Xia Song was a woman who didn't understand anything and said: "I haven't taken much medicine over the years?" is the so-called long-term illness to become a doctor, just say that this taste, it is not ordinary, don't look at the smell of spicy, even with a bitter taste, but good medicine is bitter, I have not eaten the medicine prepared by the so-called miracle doctor, the taste is all medicinal fragrance, delicious but not curative, I don't think that person is like a liar." ”
