As far as Yang Yihua is concerned, even if she is not directly related to the Yang family, she still lives a richer life than most monks. The powerful and wealthy Yang family makes her feel that a pill or a visit to a medical clinic run by a monk is nothing. . But for her good friend, the sick mortal girl He Shunxin, these became unthinkable things that she could not enjoy and was afraid that she would be benefited but unable to repay.

Take the Vitality Pill as an example. The price of a yellow-level Vitality Pill is usually around an ordinary spirit stone. Most monks can earn about twenty ordinary spirit stones per month, so those who consume such a price The vitality pill is not very stressful. But usually you have to pay at least ten taels of gold in exchange for an ordinary spirit stone. For mortals, the price of a yellow-level vitality pill alone is very scary.

For ordinary people, it may take several years of hard work for a family to earn ten taels of gold. However, after spending on various food and clothing expenses, it is difficult to make much surplus in a year. This is still the situation in a family where both husband and wife have a certain amount of labor. If a woman like Yang Yihua's friend has only one disabled elderly person in the family who needs care, the income may be even less.

"That girl is not married yet?" Tao Yulian asked. Yang Yihua and Yang Yixin are twins, dragon and phoenix, and are now in their teens. Although Yang Yihua has reached the age of marriage, she is a monk after all, so she is engaged to someone, but she has not yet officially married. Since that girl and Yang Yihua are friends, there shouldn't be much age difference between them.

"Not yet. Although her grandmother does not need to be taken care of all the time, she needs to be taken care of at least once every morning and evening. A man once proposed marriage to her, but because he did not agree to take her grandmother with him, the matter failed." Yang Yihua replaced. Her friend felt sorry for her, but also understood why she chose to give up. If He Shunxin gets married, her grandmother will starve to death because there is no one to take care of her, and the man obviously doesn't want to have such a burden.

Yang Yihua once wanted to help He Shunxin find a job in the General's Mansion. In their mansion, not all the work was done by bought slaves. If it did not involve the inner house and only stayed in the outer house, the general's house would also hire people to work. It's just that whether you are a long-term worker or a part-time worker, even if you are a local who lives in Xiadu, if you want to work in the General's Mansion, you have to live in the General's Mansion during this period.

This is not because the rules of the General's Mansion are deliberately making things difficult, but because the General's Mansion is located in the inner city of Xia Capital and ordinary people cannot enter easily. Whether they are long-term or short-term workers, they need to be led in by someone with a token and registered. This means that if this person is an assassin trying to sneak into the inner city to commit murder, once he commits the murder and is traced to who brought him in, then that family will need to take responsibility for it. Therefore, whether they are slaves purchased in the market or hired by others, the unified approach is that they must live in the house provided by the master and cannot leave easily while they are on duty.

Yang Yuyao and the others did not seem to be subject to any restrictions when they entered the inner city. At that time, because he and He Qianqing were taken to the palace by the prince, and they arrived at the general's residence in the palace's carriage, naturally no one dared to stop them for inspection. As for Li Fengzhi and the others, the Yang family sent someone to pick them up, so the procedures were naturally completed.

In addition, the inner city of Xia Capital is also divided into areas. Some areas have extremely strict security, but there are also some special areas that can be opened at regular intervals. There are also some buildings that cover a large area and cross regions but are included in the inner city. For example, strictly speaking, the courtyard behind the credit office belongs to the inner city, while the place where the credit office works belongs to the outer city, but because it belongs to the same building, it is counted as the inner city together. Such a situation also exists in the Zhenguo General's Mansion. A small door in the outer house of the General's Mansion opens directly to an area in the inner city that can be opened regularly.

Let the family members of slaves like Huang Ya's father come regularly to collect the monthly money voluntarily distributed by those slaves. But there are not many such people, and most parents, after selling their children, do not have the shamelessness to ask for money from their children who were reduced to slavery due to their parents' incompetence. Therefore, even if the opening hours of the scheduled opening area are short, it is more than enough to handle this matter. But no matter what, if He Shunxin goes to work in the General's Mansion, she won't be able to get out for a few days. So in order to take care of her grandmother, she still had to refuse.

Yang Yuyao looked at the bamboo weavings made by He Shunxin and felt a faint death aura. This death aura was so weak that it would not cause any harm to the people who bought them, but for the makers, it was hard to say. Yang Yuyao had a flash of inspiration and quietly started calculating.

"Is it possible that she was cursed, which made the vitality pill unable to cure her?" Yang Yuyao asked after deducing.

"Curse? However, although Shunxin is the daughter of a sergeant, her father abandoned her long ago. Now she and her grandmother have no power and no money. Who would bother to put a curse on her?" Yang Yihua asked. Xie Di said that the curse proposed by Yang Yuyao seemed to explain the ineffectiveness of the vitality pill, but He Shunxin was not from a famous family, so what benefits could he get from deliberately harming her?

"Shunxin? Is this the name of Sister Hua's friend?" Yang Yuwei asked. It didn't sound like a name, but it appeared where a name should appear in the sentence.

"Yes, her name is He Shunxin, which is the same as her grandmother's surname." Yang Yihua nodded and said, "Shunxin's grandmother, Granny He, became a widow early. She originally had a pair of children, but the son was not yet married, and the daughter married a man with the same surname. When Shun Xin's mother was pregnant with Liujia, the man named Xiang joined the army with his brother-in-law and became a soldier. The man named Xiang, Shun Xin's father, was originally an orphan, and there was no one else in the family. Relatives, I will go back to Xiadu to live with my mother and raise my child."

"Shunxin's uncle died fighting to suppress bandits not long after he became a soldier. Shunxin's mother also died after giving birth to her. Shunxin's grandmother was not blind at the time, so she asked someone to send a letter telling her about this. Her son-in-law. But they waited for several years until Shunxin was almost ten years old. Granny He's eyes became increasingly blurry. The man named Xiang did not come back or send any letters. Both of them thought he was He has also died in the battle. This series of things was too unsatisfactory, so Granny He named her granddaughter Shun Xin. She just hopes that Shun Xin will have a smoother future. "

"However, that year, Shunxin unexpectedly heard the news that her father was still alive. Not only was her father alive and well, he also married another woman and built a new home elsewhere." Yang Yihua said this with great emotion. I feel sorry for this girl. "Shunxin is two years younger than me. I met her when Shunxin was ten years old. I was riding a horse with Yi Xin, my father and my mother on the outskirts of the city. I was so excited about riding that time that I stayed away from them, and even almost The child rushed into the stream. But Shunxin, who was preparing to do laundry, was so frightened that she fell into the water."

Looking back now, Yang Yihua was still a little embarrassed for He Shunxin. Although she immediately got off her horse and pulled He Shunxin out of the water, all the clothes that He Shunxin wanted to wash floated away. The clothes of this girl who was not rich to begin with Also completely soaked. At that time, Yang Yihua had just started practicing. She could barely use a few unskilled spells to dry He Shunxin's clothes, but she couldn't pick up the clothes that were taken away by the current. So she had to take He Shunxin to seek help from her parents.

Fortunately, with the help of two adult monks, the clothes were picked up and the two girls chatted and actually became friends. Her parents and Yang Yixin knew that Yang Yihua and He Shunxin were friends and had no objection, so the friendship continued like this.

"Shunxin was very naive and simple at that time. She thought that her father just couldn't find the location of her grandmother's house, so he hadn't come to her for so many years. So after inquiring and confirming her father's current address, she She told me and then set off alone to find her father." Yang Yihua sat cross-legged, looked up at the sky, and sighed.

"When I saw her again, her body was bruised and her eyes were swollen from crying. She told me that her father had long known about her mother's death and her birth. But because she was a girl, her father was afraid that she would not be able to live without her. He wanted to continue their relationship, so he didn't want to see her at all. He even hid the fact from his new wife that he was once married but his wife was dead and he had a daughter. So when Shunxin came over, his current wife broke out with him. There was a fierce quarrel. The man named Xiang couldn't even deny the fact that Shun Xin was his daughter, because He Shun Xin, who had not yet grown up, looked too much like him."

"Shun Xin's father beat her up severely and drove her away, and threatened to beat her to death if Shun Xin appeared near his house again. When Granny He found out about this, she was heartbroken and told Shun Xin that her father didn't want her and her grandmother wanted it. , but I didn’t expect that not long after that, Granny He’s eyes were completely blind. Why do disasters always seek out the poor?”

"How could there be such a bad father?!" Yang Yuwei didn't understand and began to sympathize with the sister she had never met. The emotions of anger and sympathy on the faces of Li Fengzhi and You Shuangjiang were intertwined, making their expressions a bit strange. Yang Yuyao was lost in thought, but his eyes fell on a dragonfly woven from bamboo on the stall. This dragonfly was a small toy, very delicately made, and compared to insects woven from straw, it could be stored for a long time as long as it was kept dry.

"Does Yuwei think this dragonfly looks good?" Yang Yuyao suddenly asked Yang Yuwei.

"Ah, um, it's beautiful!" Yang Yuwei replied somewhat unexpectedly. She fell in love with the bamboo dragonfly at first sight, but she kept talking about He Shunxin and was a little embarrassed to change the subject.

"How much does this dragonfly cost?" Yang Yuyao then asked Yang Yihua.

"Two cents." Yang Yihua was also a little confused. Yang Yuyao picked up the bamboo dragonfly and handed it to Yang Yuwei. Then with a thought, he pinched two copper coins out of thin air between his long and beautiful fingers and put them on Yang Yuyao. Yihua's open palm. When the two copper coins fell into the palm of her hand, Yang Yihua's eyes widened in surprise at the spiritual power contained in them.

"When Shun Xin went to find her father, did her father and the people in her father's new family know about Shun Xin's existence?" Yang Yuyao asked.

"It should be." Yang Yihua thought for a while and replied. Regarding what happened when Shun Xin found her father's house, all she knew was what Shun Xin told her. After that, she never dared to mention it in front of Shun Xin again. This incident was deeply afraid of bringing back Shun Xin's sad memories.

"Furthermore, one of the reasons why his father didn't want to recognize her was that she was a girl, not a boy. So, is it possible that the man named Xiang finally got a son after marrying his new wife, but he The boy was extremely weak and even on the verge of death, so they thought of Shunxin." Yang Yuyao expressed the results of his deduction in a guessing way.

"I remember that there is indeed a kind of Gu that can achieve such an effect." He Qianqing said. He naturally understood that Yang Yuyao used his deduction skills to figure out the cause, but Yang Yuyao himself had mastered his own deduction skills. He is not very confident in his ability, so he does not say that he derived it by himself. So He Qianqing helped him fill in the parts that he could not tell by "guessing".

"The name of this Gu is to change one's life, which means to take the fate of others for one's own use. The most common way it is used is to replace the life of a healthy collateral clan member or even a concubine with a sick legitimate son, and the legitimate son's body will become healthy, and the body of the legitimate son will become healthy. People who change their lives will suddenly become ill and die. It is very easy to refine this Gu, but if you want to succeed, you must have a blood relationship with the person who changed your life."

"If Shunxin is really bewitched, wouldn't she..." Yang Yihua's face paled instantly.

"Hua'er, you can give her the copper coins Xiaoyao paid," Tao Yulian probably realized the reason why Yang Yuyao specially bought a bamboo dragonfly. "Copper coins can be used to ward off evil spirits, so they should be of some help to the girl."

"Okay, okay." Yang Yihua specially set aside a bag to put the copper coins given by Yang Yuyao to avoid confusion. In fact, she didn't have to do this on purpose, because only those two copper coins were infused with spiritual power, and she could tell it as soon as she touched it. But just in case, Yang Yihua did it anyway.

"Besides, there is another thing I care about," Yang Yuyao said. "Her grandmother, Granny He, feels guilty that her granddaughter cannot get a better job or get married because she took care of her."

"Of course, Granny He..." Yang Yihua stood up suddenly, "Yu Yao, can I borrow your personal servant? Let him help me look after the stall. I have to rush back. I'm afraid Granny He will commit suicide! "

After Yang Yihua finished speaking, without even waiting for Yang Yuyao to agree, she summoned the flying sword and flew away in a hurry.

"Young Master?" Teng Yu couldn't help but say, not knowing what decision Yang Yuyao planned to make.

"Teng Yu, please help look after the stall." Yang Yuyao said.

"But, young master, I don't know how much these should be sold for," Teng Yu said awkwardly.

"Hmm...praise more and try to sell as high as possible." Yang Yuyao gave an unreliable suggestion. After all, he didn't know how much these would cost. "Thank you for your hard work." Yang Yuyao patted Teng Yu on the shoulder, and then handed him a stack of talismans. "Take this. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just pull out one and throw it at them. These talismans can also be used by mortals."

"Wow, it's just a stack of talismans! Big brother is so arrogant!" Yang Yuwei exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiao Yao, can you make talismans?" Tao Yulian asked, who was equally surprised.

"Yes." Yang Yuyao replied. If you don't know how to make your own talismans, don't give him so many talismans. Giving him just one or two talismans is a luxury.

"Then why is it that the rumor about you, Xiaoyao, in the world of immortality is that your swordsmanship and spells are extraordinary, but there is no mention at all of your ability to form formations and make talismans?" Tao Yulian asked curiously via voice transmission.

"It should be that I didn't want to make myself look so special in the past, so I did this without making it public." Yang Yuyao responded. He didn't think of it, but he thought he was afraid that the tree would be destroyed by the wind if it showed up. But obviously even if he concealed these two items, his talent was still too amazing for other monks.

"Then next, shall we also go and help a bunch of Shunxin sisters?" Yang Yuwei asked.

"Wait a moment." Tao Yulian replied.

"What are you waiting for?" Yang Yuwei asked. She looked at Li Fengzhi and You Shuangjiang, who immediately shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know either. So she looked at Yang Yuyao.

"When Yihua lets Shunxin know that her illness was not caused by no reason, but that her father and her stepmother's family are trying to kill her, and until she accepts Yihua's invitation for us to help her, we can openly help her. She." Yang Yuyao replied.

"Why does it have to be so complicated? Can't we take the initiative to help?" Yang Yuwei was still confused.

"Because if you are too active in helping others when others do not ask for help, it is easy to cause disputes." Zhu Molan said, Yang Yuwei has never been in the sect, so she does not know many taboos that the sect monks need to know. These taboos are not Just being able to help the monks of the sect is actually useful to anyone. "Not to mention that some people will say without gratitude that I don't want your help and deny all efforts. When the other party actively asks for help, it means that she can accept a certain level of help but does not really help. To her risk. In addition, it is to protect her self-esteem."

"Self-esteem?" Yang Yuwei repeated the word doubtfully, and Tao Yulian smiled and touched her head.

"In fact, to some mortals, we monks will be regarded as a superior alien race, and our help will be regarded as a kind of charity by them. It will make them feel that they are a starving dog on the roadside, and are disgusted by passers-by. Looking at it, a piece of dirty food rolled with mud was thrown away. This made them feel uncomfortable. But Miss Shunxin must be in a different situation. She did not dare to accept the favor easily, probably because she was afraid that she would not be able to repay it. "
