Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"I still remember the scene at that time. After the villagers received the money, they found that it was not in line with Liu Baoguo's promise, so they went to him to argue. But Liu Baoguo turned his face and refused to admit that he had promised that price. He also said that if they asked for more money, he would no longer buy their yams, and their source of income would be gone."

The people in the mountains had no choice but to give up after hearing what Liu Baoguo said. They held on to the meager money and felt angry. They depended on the mountains for their livelihood and relied on selling yams to make a living. If Liu Baoguo really stopped buying yams, they would be out of a way to make a living.

After that incident, Liu Baoguo became more arrogant, and when he came to buy yams again, he offered a ridiculously low price. The mountain people were not willing to sell, thinking that if they carried a load of yams, he might raise the price.

But Liu Baoguo was not a pushover. Seeing that they were not willing to sell, he broke the contract and said that he would never buy their yams again. The people in the mountains did not expect him to be so resolute, so they had no choice but to compromise and sell the yams at a low price, which was better than having no income at all.

When Lin Beichen heard this, he felt unhappy. Liu Baoguo had so many treasures at home, but he bullied an honest man for such a small amount of money.

Liu Baoguo pretended to be confused at first, saying that he had never done this and that he felt no guilt at all. But when the fake monk told Lin Beichen everything, he began to think back, hey, I really did this a few years ago.

His face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lin Beichen questioned him: "You have so many good things at home, why did you harm others like this for such a small amount of money?"

Liu Baoguo quickly defended himself: "I am just a businessman. Businessmen want to make money, and of course they want to maximize their profits. How could I know that they would be poisoned and bedridden just because they didn't understand iron flowers? If I had known, I would have given them a lot of money."

Lin Beichen felt even more disdainful when he heard him say that. He was sure that Liu Baoguo was lying. He had been collecting yams for many years, so how could he not know the benefits of iron flowers?
Lin Beichen was too lazy to expose him because there was no need. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was lying.

He felt sorry for the people in the mountains who were willing to risk their lives to collect those highly poisonous herbs just to make a living.

"I am willing to do my best to cure them." Lin Beichen said.

He understood the Dao and wanted to use it to discipline them. Although he was not sure, he wanted to give it a try.

When the fake monk heard this, he knelt down to Lin Beichen. As long as he could save these people, he was willing to work like a cow or a horse for Lin Beichen.

In order to cure these people, he boiled medicine in his thatched hut every day, without missing three meals, just as punctual as eating. But no matter how many methods he tried, nothing worked.

I had originally thought of finding the fake monk, giving him a lesson, and then taking him home to remove the curse. Unexpectedly, Lin Beichen saw these people and said he wanted to punish them. Does that mean that removing the curse has to be postponed?

There was a look of loss on his face.

Lin Beichen could see that he was unhappy.

"I'm curious about one thing, how do you know how to curse people?" Lin Beichen asked.

The fake monk was about to thank Lin Beichen, but when he heard this, he was stunned.

"You don't know how much suffering I have endured. If Lin Beichen hadn't come to my house and found out about this, would my family be broken up now?" Liu Baoguo quickly asked the fake monk.

"I didn't mean it... Who made you so cruel? Otherwise, how could I do such a thing?" The fake monk hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time, but he still told Liu Baoguo why he did it.

Lin Beichen was not in a hurry, he knew the fake monk would tell the truth sooner or later. If a stranger asked him about this, he would not confess immediately.

The two chatted for a while, and the fake monk felt that Lin Beichen was different from Liu Baoguo and was a reliable person.

In that case, it doesn’t matter whether I tell Lin Beichen or not.

"I learned all these from an old man. I wasn't originally a monk, but the old man specifically asked me to dress like this. I did it to thank him."

I didn't tell Lin Beichen before because I thought the people around Liu Baoguo might have similar personalities to him. But Lin Beichen was good-tempered and patient, unlike Liu Baoguo who got angry easily.

Then I'll tell him.

It was taught by an old man. Lin Beichen immediately thought of the old man who brought them here and hurried out to find him.

As a result, the old man had disappeared. When they entered the hut, the old man had left.

Lin Beichen knew that he had really met a master this time. The other party left quietly and was able to tell him the task given to him by the system, which was something that ordinary people could not do.

He bowed towards the distance. Although he didn't know whether the old man was nearby, he at least expressed his respect for the old man.

He did this as a way of expressing his gratitude. If the old man hadn't brought them here, he wouldn't have known that the fake monk did this for the people in the mountain village.

The fake monk looked like a liar, but he was actually kind-hearted. He had no choice but to lie. If he lied, he only lied to Liu Baoguo in order to avenge those people. Apart from that, he never lied to anyone else.

Lin Beichen returned to the house and began to check the injuries of the injured. He found that they were all poisoned by a plant neurotoxin, not the poison of Tiehua. Otherwise, they would have died like the others.

The fake monk didn't know this and thought they were poisoned by the iron flower, but they didn't die because the poisoning was not serious. The medicine he had been making for them was actually to detoxify the iron flower, but it also happened to inhibit the release of this plant neurotoxin.

Lin Beichen didn't know what kind of toxin this was, so he looked up information through the system to see if he could find a treatment.

After some searching, he finally found a cure, but the medicine was expensive and he had no money.

"This herb is too precious. It costs a lot of money to buy it. But I've been traveling around and my money is almost gone. I can save them, but I can't do anything about buying the herb."

Lin Beichen told everyone about this, but he was powerless.

"It seems these people are not lucky enough to receive your treatment."

The fake monk could only say with regret that they had found a way to save them, but it required precious medicinal herbs, and they had no choice because they were injured just to collect yams for money.

Everything in the world depends on money.

Lin Beichen has no money, but some of them do, such as Liu Baoguo, who has many valuable cultural relics at home.

If you sell any one of them, you can earn money to buy medicinal herbs to save these people.

Lin Beichen looked at Liu Baoguo and said, "You should know that these people are doing this just to collect yam for you. Are you willing to make amends and spend money to buy precious herbs for their treatment?"

Liu Baoguo felt very upset when he saw so many people died or were injured because of him.

Thinking that he was a businessman who did everything for profit, he felt that he had no humanity at all. He quickly said: "I am willing to make up for what I have done."

Lin Beichen made a list, wrote down all the herbs needed and indicated their prices.

Looking at the amount on the list, Liu Baoguo felt that it was a bit too much. If he was just a businessman, he really couldn't accept it for a while. But fortunately, he collected a lot of cultural relics, and if he sold a few of them, the money would be enough to buy these medicinal materials.

He also doesn't have to worry about becoming penniless after buying these.

He left with the list.

At this moment, Lin Beichen suddenly remembered the old man's previous instructions.

The old man once said that he would help find the monk, but there was a condition, which was that Lin Beichen had to accept the monk as his disciple.

At that time, Lin Beichen didn't know much about the monk and thought he was a swindler with bad character. If he accepted him as his apprentice, it would damage his reputation. So he didn't agree immediately, but just said he would think about it.

But now, Lin Beichen has understood the monk's painstaking efforts. The reason he did that was actually to avenge Liu Baoguo, because Liu Baoguo had done too many evil things. Moreover, the monk took care of these bedridden people meticulously, which shows that he is actually a good person.

So, Lin Beichen asked, "Are you willing to be my apprentice?"

The fake monk never expected that Lin Beichen would make such a request. He was stunned for a moment, then pinched his thigh and felt a pain. Only then did he confirm that he was not dreaming and that what Lin Beichen said was true.

If he could become Lin Beichen's apprentice, that would be a great thing. He has always been alone, drifting in this world.

But if he really became Lin Beichen's apprentice, what would happen to these patients? They couldn't leave his care.

Lin Beichen saw his concerns and said, "I will definitely cure these patients. As you can see, I have asked Liu Baoguo to buy precious medicinal herbs to treat them. Moreover, I will make Liu Baoguo pay for his mistakes and give them appropriate compensation. You can rest assured now."

The fake monk was overjoyed. All his thoughts were on these patients. If Lin Beichen could really do what he said, cure them and compensate them, then their lives would be better in the future, and he wouldn't have to worry about them all the time.

"Okay, as long as you complete these, I will willingly take you as my master. My greatest wish is to see them recover, and then live a less difficult life, at least with enough food and warm clothes."

He asked for nothing else but that these people could have enough food and clothing, and that they would no longer have to take risks in order to sell yams at high prices.

"It's just a matter of time to save them. They will definitely recover. You can rest assured about that." Lin Beichen promised.

He decided to save these people from the beginning, otherwise he would not have asked Liu Baoguo to buy precious medicinal herbs before he even asked the monk to be his disciple.

Even if the monk did not agree to be his apprentice, he would cure these people and make the precious medicinal materials play the greatest role. However, he would not let Liu Baoguo compensate these people afterwards, because Liu Baoguo had already paid for these precious medicinal materials to atone for his sins.

Then, Lin Beichen asked to see what medicinal herbs the monk had prepared for them over the past few days.

The monk then explained everything to Lin Beichen.

"Although these herbs cannot completely cure them, they have found a common herb that can inhibit this plant neurotoxin by accident. These past few days, I have been brewing this medicine for them to drink, and it has suppressed the release of toxins in their bodies."

If it weren't for this medicinal herb, their poison would have erupted long ago and they would have died suddenly, before Lin Beichen and the others came here and discovered all this.

Liu Baoguo has been buying yam for many years and knows where to buy these precious medicinal materials. He bought all the medicinal materials in a short time and hurried back to the thatched house.

"Here, I bought all these herbs. I was afraid they wouldn't be enough, so I bought a little more of each. If they're still not enough, tell me and I'll buy more."

Lin Beichen took the herbs and handed them to Yang Yiyi, asking her to help boil the medicine and tell her when to put which herbs in. If all the herbs were boiled together, the longer they were boiled, the more effective they would be with the steam, and then they would not be that effective.

Yang Yiyi kept Lin Beichen's words firmly in her heart.

Zhou Dazhuang was responsible for following Liu Baoguo to visit villages and alleys to count the families whose members had died or fallen ill when they purchased iron flowers.

It was Lin Beichen who asked Liu Baoguo and others to do this. At first Liu Baoguo was reluctant, so Lin Beichen gave him a lecture.

After Lin Beichen's guidance, Liu Baoguo finally realized how serious the mistake he had made was.

In the process of counting these things, it can be seen that Liu Baoguo is actually very positive.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

However, there were still some setbacks in the process. When the families whose iron flowers Liu Baoguo had bought saw him, they thought he was here to lower the price of yam again. Thinking of their family members who had died from collecting highly toxic yams, they were immediately furious and shouted that they wanted to teach Liu Baoguo a lesson.

Seeing this, Liu Baoguo quickly hid behind Zhou Dazhuang. He had promised Lin Beichen that if there was a conflict on the way, he would not use force or swear, so he could only hold back his temper and let them vent.

After all, he had done something wrong before.

"Uncle, don't be angry. Liu Baoguo has deeply realized his mistake. He is now here to count the names for subsequent compensation." Zhou Dazhuang quickly persuaded.

After hearing these words, the old man's anger gradually subsided. It was a good thing to get compensation, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Baoguo was still full of hostility.

In order to make the statistics work go smoothly, Zhou Dazhuang simply took the old man with him to do the statistics. The old man has lived here for many years and knows many people. With him explaining the situation to everyone, everyone was less resistant and told them the number of casualties in their families.

Two days later, the statistical list came out and Lin Beichen successfully cured all the patients.

Looking at the names on the list, Lin Beichen felt heartbroken. Liu Baoguo had accidentally harmed so many people for his own benefit.

Even if he compensated these people, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in their hearts.

In order to prevent Liu Baoguo from becoming a pariah, Lin Beichen decided to consult the old village chief and hold an open meeting for Liu Baoguo to apologize to everyone in public, hoping to be forgiven by the villagers.

After he inquired about the old village chief's address, he went to visit him. When he arrived at the old village chief's house, Lin Beichen discovered that he was the one who instigated the fake monk.

The old village chief seemed to have anticipated their arrival and even killed the chickens in his home in advance to entertain them.

The old village chief could accurately tell Lin Beichen's mission before, so Lin Beichen knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he respected the old village chief very much. (End of this chapter)
