Ten days have passed in a flash.
During this period, Chen Yun took another Jiujizhi soup, and then made another batch of Ling Tang using the medicinal materials accumulated before.
The second dose of the Jiujizhi soup proved to be more effective than the first.
He feels that the meridians except for Ren and Du were already cleared by half.
Perhaps because more pathogenic areas were cleared, not only has Chen Yun's appetite increased significantly these days, but he also seems to have grown taller.
This evening, Chen Yun and Li Si had just finished sorting out the medicinal materials and were preparing to go to the cafeteria for dinner.
Suddenly, Lin Chen and Zhang Qian walked in from outside.
Lin Chen said as soon as he entered, "Chen junior, Li junior, we're going down the mountain tonight."
Li Si happily asked, "Will it be to drive away ghosts?"
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "What else?"
Originally, for over ten days, Lin Chen's senior had no news, and Chen Yun had forgotten about the mission to drive away ghosts.
Now that they saw the two people coming to the door, Chen Yun looked forward to it again.
He really wants to see the ghost and see what it looks like.
The group chatted and laughed as they walked out.
Just outside the mountain gate.
Lin Chen took out several pieces of yellow paper from the small bag on his waist and said, "Brothers, each of you take two pieces and stick them on your feet."
These yellow papers were cut into the shapes of armored riders on horses.
Chen Yun didn't know what this was and asked, "What is this?"
Lin Chen reached out and handed him two pieces of yellow paper, saying, "Oh, this is the jiama symbol."
"Jiama symbol?" Chen Yun looked puzzled.
Zhang Qian smiled and explained, "The jiama symbol is a type of talisman specifically used for travel. After applying it, one can walk a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles at night. The Zhongshan Mountain is fifty li away from the Xigou City. Without the jiama symbol, it may take half a day to get there."
Oh!
It turns out to be a talisman for travel.
Chen Yun looked curiously at the two jiama symbols in his palm.
Walking a thousand miles in a day means covering 500 kilometers in twelve hours.
That is to say, during the day, the speed of the jiama symbol can reach about 42 kilometers per hour.
If it's night travel at eight hundred li, that would be about 33 kilometers per hour.
It's about the same speed as an electric car.
Chen Yun imitated Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and the others by sticking the jiama symbols to their lower legs.
In the next moment, he felt a strange force coming from the two jiama symbols, as if making his body feel "lighter" by a lot.
Lin Chen gave the order, "Let's go."
With the words just spoken, he took a step forward and whizzed out of sight.
Zhang Qian and Li Si seemed to have used the jiama symbols before and followed him very skillfully.
Chen Yun was experiencing this fun thing for the first time, so he also took a step forward.
Mysterious things happened, and all he felt was that his feet had the wind, supporting his body as if floating forward.
He took a step forward, covering several meters!
"Wow, not to be expected in the cultivation world, it's really amazing."
Chen Yun followed at a brisk pace.
The four people ran at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint between the mountains, yet walked as if on flat ground.
Because the wind was so loud, everyone didn't chat while running.
...
After half an hour's journey.
The group of four arrived in Xigou City.
When they arrived at the city gate, Lin Chen stopped by himself and had the other three people put away their jiama symbols.
Afterwards, the four of them entered after passing the check by the garrison troops at the city gate.
As soon as they entered, Chen Yun collided with a breeze of fragrance at the corner of the stone-paved street.
"Ouch!"
A crisp voice rang out.
Chen Yun felt a headache on his forehead from the collision, but he still looked up in a hurry.
He saw a girl wearing a light green dress, about fifteen or sixteen years old, fall to the ground from the collision.
What happened?
"Ouch, Chen junior hit someone."
"We turned the corner and didn't see anyone."
When Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si heard this, they turned their heads to look and said a few words.
Chen Yun felt quite puzzled. The several senior brothers were walking ahead and doing well. If they had seen someone around the corner, they would have reminded him, but why did it happen when he hit someone?
He didn't have time to think about it much, after all, they were in a hurry to go and drive away ghosts to make money.
Chen Yun habitually went forward to help the girl, "Little girl... are you okay?"
The girl's face turned pale, and she shook off his hand, "Sir, please be careful!"
Chen Yun realized what had happened.
This is an ancient society, and the relationship between men and women is relatively less open.
If he went forward and helped the girl with her arm, he might be mistaken for a Casanova.
He quickly stepped back a step and said with an apologetic expression, "Miss, I'm really sorry for bumping into you."
Although the girl in the green dress was very beautiful, she had a temper.
She quickly got up from the ground, gave Chen Yun a fierce look, and spat, "What a pervert! I think you did it on purpose, hmpf!"
After saying that, she didn't give Chen Yun a chance to speak back and walked straight towards the corner and left.
Chen Yun was innocent looking after being called a pervert.
He really wasn't trying to bump into that girl.
He even had good intentions to help her up.
However, he still got a lot of curses.
Never mind, it was his way of handling things that was wrong.
Chen Yun helplessly shook his head.
However, the eyes of Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si turned dirty.
Especially Zhang Qian, with a playful and lewd face, patted Chen Yun's shoulder, "You kid, you have some pretty good color heart after all."
Lin Chen laughed in the background, "That's right, just going up and grabbing a girl's arm like that, you're really bold."
Although Li Si didn't say anything, his eyes that stared back flickered as if saying, "Good you with a bushy eyebrow Chen Yun is also a pervert."
Chen Yun wanted to roll his eyes so badly.
However, he knew that the views of the world were different, and explaining himself wouldn't do any good. So he didn't talk to them more.
The three of them teased Chen Yun a few times, and then continued their journey.
Chen Yun was about to catch up with them.
Suddenly, he saw a pink lotus flower embroidered on a pink bag at the place where the green skirt girl had fallen.
The bag was bulging, and it was clear that there were a lot of things inside.
Chen Yun couldn't help but pause for a moment.
The green skirt girl didn't realize that the bag had been lost, so it wasn't a big deal.
Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si didn't see it either?
He found it a bit strange, but he still went forward to pick up the bag.
There was a light and heavy sensation when he touched it.
Chen Yun squeezed it and felt the hard metal feeling coming from inside.
As expected, the bag might be filled with gold and silver.
And judging from the weight, it seems to be at least a few ounces.
Even if it's one or two ounces of silver, it's a considerable amount in a world similar to ancient China.
After all, an ordinary person can only earn a few dozen copper coins a day from work.
Two ounces of silver might be a month's or two months' wages for a sturdy person!
A girl carrying this much money?
Chen Yun immediately realized that the girl might be in a hurry for money or might be from a wealthy family.
He quickly turned around and ran to the corner, hoping to see if the green skirt girl had left, and then return the bag.
Unfortunately, there was no one in sight at the corner.
Oh well!
For the time being, he can't return it to her.
Chen Yun thought for a while and decided to put it away for now. He'll return it if he happens upon it again.
Before he could even pick it up,
Perhaps because they saw Chen Yun not catch up with them, Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si turned around to come back.
"Hey, where did this bag come from?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
Zhang Qian and Li Si also cast curious glances.
Chen Yun explained briefly to avoid being mistaken by them as the thief.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen didn't care whether it was found or not. He encouraged, "Let's see what's inside. If there are valuable things, we'll share it."
Chen Yun frowned slightly and said, "That doesn't seem right."
Lin Chen grinned and said, "She doesn't know us, so sharing it won't make any difference. Besides, in ancient times, there are rules that if one finds lost property on the road, anyone can share it. shouldn't you be the one who found it, Chen junior?"
Zhang Qian and Li Si had not spoken up.
Chen Yun saw a struggle in the eyes of the two men. It seemed they wanted to agree with Lin Chen's proposal but felt guilty about it.
A saying goes, "No sudden wealth can make a man rich." If it was another time, Chen Yun might really take someone else's wallet if he happened to find it.
But he always felt something was wrong, so he didn't want to take it.
But with the few people watching him and Lin Chen making a seemingly reasonable point, not sharing might cause conflict.
Chen Yun was caught in a difficult situation.
Zhang Qian suddenly said, "Let's see what's inside. Perhaps there is some mark of identification that can tell us where the owner lives. If we really can't find the owner, we'll divide it among ourselves."
Lin Chen followed up immediately, "Let's divide it first. If that girl comes looking for us, we'll return the money to her. But if she doesn't, we'll consider it as a stroke of good fortune."
Chen Yun thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let me open and take a look."
The three of them gathered around.
Chen Yun unfastened the string of the bag and saw that it contained four golden pearls.
Every single golden pearl was brand new, without any scratches or dents.
Lin Chen looked at it and said with a grin, "Hey, exactly four golden pearls. Each one seems to weigh about five cents. We can each have one and divide them."
One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver.
One chén of gold is equal to ten shí of gold.
Therefore, five chén of gold is equal to half a tael of gold, which is equal to five liang (one hundred grams) silvers.
As the saying goes, "Those who see it have a share." Chen Yun knew that if he didn't follow the rules, he would be disliked by others.
He had to let Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si each take one golden pearl.
Finally, he kept the bag and the remaining one golden pearl. He pondered that as Lin Chen had said, if the girl came to find him, he would return it; if she didn't, he would consider it as a stroke of good fortune.
This was not because Chen Yun had noble character.
It was not because Chen Yun had noble character. Instead, he felt that the bag came from something suspicious.
The pearls inside were not only new but also had consistent weight, which did not make sense.
His intuition told him he should not possess it.
……
On the other side.
The green-robed woman was floating above, watching the four men dividing the money.
Yes, she was indeed He Qiong, the fairy who had replaced Zhong Liquan to test Fang Yi's character.
When she saw Chen Yun give the golden pearls to the other three, Master He's eyes showed a look of doubt.
If it were said that Chen Yun was greedy, he should have hidden the bag in his bosom immediately after receiving it.
But Chen Yun didn't hide it at all, but instead, he clearly made attempts to find the owner.
If it's said that Chen Yun isn't greedy, then he later divided the golden pearls with the other three.
This made Master He a bit confused about Chen Yun's character.
"The result of this test isn't clear, I'll find another chance to test him."
She had even thought of the method she would use to test Chen Yun further.
The first step is to find Chen Yun and demand the bag. If he doesn't return it, then the test will end here.
If Chen Yun agrees to return it, Master He will take the opportunity to get closer to him by thanking him for returning the bag, and then start flirting with him with her beauty. She'll see if Chen Yun is a lecher, and then decide on the third step of the test.
