    After leaving Yuhua Xiaoxie, Xiao Yi went straight to the pawnshop in the north of the city.  When the pawn shop owner saw that the jade pendant that Xiao Yi bought was exquisitely carved and polished, it was the best of the best, worth at least a hundred gold, and his eyes suddenly lit up.  Seeing that Xiao Yi was just a child, he suddenly felt treacherous and only gave Xiao Yi dozens of copper coins.  "Am I easy to fool when I'm a child?" Xiao Yi was immediately furious. Although he didn't know the true value of the jade, he was sure it was more than a few dozen copper coins.  "It's just an ordinary piece of jade. Seeing that you are a child and we are an innocent child, I will give you ten more copper coins to buy candies." The pawnshop owner said and took out ten more copper coins. Apparently he thought Xiao Yi  I just came here to pawn to buy delicious food.  Usually, the person who pawns in this situation either sneaks around behind an adult's back or steals from the street, so he thought that Xiao Yi would agree if he gave him a slight benefit.  Xiao Yi knew that most pawnshop owners were trying to rob someone, so he said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? If it's just to eat a piece of candy, there's no point in pawning the ancestral jade pendant! If it weren't for my sister being seriously ill in bed and in urgent need of a lot of money.  Heal, I won¡¯t pawn it! If you¡¯re bullying me, I won¡¯t trade with you. There¡¯s no such thing as a pawn shop in this big city!¡± Xiao Yi took the jade pendant back and left immediately.  .  The pawnshop owner was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased him out, shouting: "Don't worry! Don't worry! It turns out that you came to pawn the jade pendant for your sister's medical treatment! I really admire you for having such a heart at such a young age.  Because your sister is seriously ill and continues to ask for money, I will not make money from you this time. How about giving you twenty dollars? Looking at the entire capital, it is impossible for anyone to give you this price. "  It seems that it is difficult for people to distinguish the authenticity of this statement with such a loyal and honest face.  Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi was worried about his sister's safety, and in his desperation, he didn't bother to bargain, so he took twenty five-baht coins and rushed to the hospital without even bothering to ask for the pawn ticket.  Looking at Xiao Yi's leaving figure, the pawnshop owner played with the jade pendant and said proudly: "He's just a child after all!" At this moment, two young women wearing white warrior uniforms passed by.  The transaction between the pawnshop owner and Xiao Yi attracted their attention.  The two girls, one tall and one short, both have long swords hanging on their waists. They must be from the martial arts world.  Seeing the two girls coming over, the pawnshop owner did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly came forward to greet them: "Two fairies came to our shop, I don't know if they are pawning or redeeming." The two girls looked serious, but their eyes were on the jade pendant.  The owner of the pawn shop looked at the words and immediately smiled and said: "The two fairies really have good eyesight! This jade pendant is a rare ice type suet jade, and the knife and polish are top-notch. The shop has just received new goods. If the two fairies are interested, five hundred gold  Just take it." "You can get twenty guan in cash and sell it for five hundred gold. This pawnshop owner is really shady.  The tall woman took the jade pendant, her eyes fell on the word "Ming Yue", and her expression suddenly changed.  The short woman next to her suddenly said in shock: "Senior Sister Yuanzhen, could this be the token worn by the legendary Mingyue Demon Cult?" The woman called Senior Sister Yuanzhen nodded and snorted: "That's right! It is indeed the case.  It¡¯s a token worn by people from the Mingyue Demon Sect, and it¡¯s not a low-level one!¡± When he heard that it was worn by people from the Demon Sect, the pawnshop owner was immediately startled.  The pawnshop owner also traveled around the world when he was young, and he also had some knowledge of the origins of the Mingyue Demon Sect.  Mingyue is the largest demon sect in the world. It is said to have been founded by Concubine Xia, the biological mother of Xiao Fangzhi, the last emperor of the former Liang Dynasty.  Because Chen Baxian had usurped the throne and was worried about the resurgence of his former Liang ministers, he sent someone to poison Xiao Fangzhi.  In order to avenge her son, Concubine Xia rallied the old Liang Dynasty troops to rebel against Chen Ting. She was brutally suppressed by Chen Baxian and then hid in the world and established the Mingyue Holy Sect to continue to oppose Chen Ting.  Since the Mingyue Holy Sect is an anti-imperial organization, it is not recognized by the government. Under the pressure of the government, various sects in the world call the Mingyue Holy Sect a demon sect, and they have been fighting with it for decades and have become mortal enemies.  There are rumors in the world that the Mingyue Holy Cult is well-organized, has many masters, and has followers all over the country.  Xia Dingtian, the leader of the previous generation, was called the Demon Lord by the martial arts community in the Central Plains. It is said that his martial arts skills were unparalleled and he was invincible in the world.  Twenty years ago, he led his two envoys from Mingyue, the Five Elders, the Seven Elements Hall Master, the Thirty-six Helmsmen, and hundreds of martial arts masters from the Mingyue Holy Sect to attack Wentian Pavilion, which is known as the largest sect in the righteous way of martial arts in the Central Plains.  The battle was shocking, with countless casualties on both sides, and countless martial arts masters in the Central Plains perished like superstars. It was called the greatest catastrophe in the world in a century by later generations.  After that battle, the Mingyue Holy Sect, which had the upper hand, suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. Since then, the rivers and lakes have returned to peace, but people who walk through the rivers and lakes are even more afraid of the Mingyue Holy Sect.    Under questioning by the two women, the pawnshop owner told the origin of the jade pendant word for word.  "No! It's that kid just now!" Yuanzhen immediately exclaimed, and was about to chase Xiao Yi.  But she was holding the jade pendant, but the pawnshop owner was holding her tight.  In desperation, Yuan Zhen had no choice but to say to her junior sister: "Junior sister Yuan Miao will go after the child first. Senior sister will buy the jade pendant and then arrive." Yuan Miao took the order and hurriedly chased him in the direction directed by the pawnshop owner.  Seeing that the jade pendant was very important to the woman named Yuanzhen in front of him, the pawnshop owner immediately asked for a price, and offered an expensive price of five hundred gold, which was immediately unbearable for Yuanzhen.  "I only have five taels of silver here, let me make a deposit for you first." Yuanzhen gave the only silver taels he had to the pawnshop owner, and then warned: "This jade pendant must not be given to others, let alone mentioned to anyone.  I will bring five hundred gold to you before noon tomorrow. Remember!" When the pawnshop owner saw that the other party actually took out the silver, he was suddenly happy.  You must know that silver is a rare commodity in this era. It is a currency with a price but no market. Only wealthy families or sects can afford it.  The pawnshop owner finally encountered a big fat sheep and wanted to kill him a few times, so he said: "Since this thing is a thing of the devil's sect, it is a hot commodity. The villain is terrible. The night is long and the dream is too much. I will buy it tomorrow at noon."  That's eight hundred gold." Yuanzhen suddenly said angrily: "How could you, a profiteer, be so cruel? Are you trying to fight against us, Wentian Pavilion?" The pawnshop owner had planned to kill Yuanzhen, but he heard this.  The word Wentian Pavilion suddenly showed timidity, but he did not dare to raise the price any more.  Seeing that the pawnshop owner was scared, Yuanzhen glared at him angrily, and then hurriedly chased her junior sister.  When the pawnshop owner returned to the shop, he couldn't help but weigh the snowflake silver in his hand, and then took a few more bites to make sure that he was not dreaming.  Unexpectedly, a piece of jade pendant could earn him five hundred gold, and he was so excited that he couldn't help laughing.  Just when the shop owner was feeling proud, he didn't notice a black shadow appearing in front of him like a ghost.  A flash of sword light flashed, and the pawnshop owner looked horrified, blood splattered on the spot.  The murderer was wearing a green robe and a hood, but his appearance could not be seen clearly.  He found the jade pendant with the word "Ming Yue" engraved on it from the pawnshop owner, kicked the body to confirm that it was dead, and set a fire before leaving.  Yuan Miao chased Xiao Yi all the way, but unexpectedly, a child like him ran very fast.  It was the morning market at this time, and there were many vendors and pedestrians on the street. Xiao Yi was a small person and it was easy to walk, so Yuan Miao lost him in the blink of an eye.  Xiao Yi hurriedly ran to the hospital to ask for help from the doctors. Unexpectedly, the doctors changed their expressions when they heard that they were going to Yuhua Xiaoxie. They lied about the long journey and shook their heads.  "That's unreasonable! How can a group of guys with no medical ethics deserve to be doctors!" After leaving the medical clinic, Xiao Yi suddenly cursed.  I was about to go to another medical clinic to find a doctor. Unexpectedly, not far from the door, there was a man walking towards me with the sign of practicing medicine to help the world.  The man was about forty years old, with good facial features, a kind face, and a neatly groomed goatee.  Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "May I ask if you are a doctor?" The man looked Xiao Yi up and down, shook the sign that said practicing medicine to help the world, nodded and said: "That's right! My friends in the world call me ""  Doctor Xue! My friend looks very healthy. Could it be that a family member is sick? "Xiao Yi nodded and said in greeting, "It's Doctor Xue! I'm sorry!" Xiao Yi greeted him politely and met the doctor right away.  I didn't believe it, but when I glanced at the sign and saw that the ink on the sign was still wet, I felt vigilant.  "You liar is so unprofessional? You went out to deceive before the ink on his signboard was dry. Did you just prepare it when you saw me entering the medical clinic?" Doctor Xue looked very surprised, and then he noticed the words on his signboard.  The ink on the words was indeed still wet, and his face suddenly turned red.  "This - this -" Doctor Xue hesitated for a long time before he came up with a reasonable explanation, and then said: "My little friend, don't doubt it. It's true that people have three emergencies. I don't know who the unscrupulous person was when I went to the toilet just now.  The original sign was stolen. So the sign in front of me was written correctly. " Xiao Yi felt that the person in front of him was not good at lying, but the charlatan was probably a fake, so he had to tell the difference.  Xiao Yi then told Doctor Xue about his sister¡¯s symptoms.  Doctor Xue quickly prescribed a treatment for Xiao Yi.  Xiao Yi further asked why the prescription was prescribed in this way, but Doctor Xue explained it one by one like a treasure trove.   Although Xiao Yi does not understand traditional Chinese medicine, he still has some understanding of common diseases.  After eliminating the doubts in his mind, Xiao Yi said: "Then I would like to ask the miracle doctor to come with me to my humble abode. I just don't know how much the miracle doctor charges for a visit? Is ten dollars enough?" Doctor Xue suddenly raised his beard and glared:  "You can hire me, Doctor Xue, for just ten dollars? You little kid is too ignorant!" Xiao Yi said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I just pawned the family heirloom jade pendant left by my late mother.  Ten guan of money, I still have to keep ten guan of money to buy medicine for my sister, I really can¡¯t afford more.¡± Doctor Xue didn¡¯t seem surprised, he just looked at Xiao Yi and held the twenty guan of money tightly in his hand.  He looked nervous for fear of being taken away from him, and immediately smiled and said: "Money can't buy it. I'm willing to treat you for free. Little one, don't worry, just lead the way." Seeing Doctor Xue wave his sign, Xiao Yi was immediately grateful.  Said: "Thank you, Doctor Xue!" Xiao Yi then led the way and went to Yuhua Xiaoxie with Doctor Xue.
