Five kinds of medicine in another world

The assessment ended quickly.

Although there were some stunning performers among the other disciples, they were all overshadowed by the brilliance of A Gu and Lin Zhong.

There are a total of thirty-six new disciples participating in the inner sect assessment this time.

Sixteen people entered the inner gate.

Ten people entered the outer gate.

Ten were sent home.

As soon as the assessment was over, A Gu followed the inner sect elder Jiang Heng back to his Jiang Heng residence.

Jiang Hengju is a small courtyard in the Hengdao Escort Agency compound.

There are more than a dozen small houses inside, which seems relatively spacious, and there is also a small martial arts field in the center.

The martial arts arena is equipped with all the necessary facilities such as force measuring punching targets and weapons.

After Jiang Heng led Ah Gu into Jiang Heng Residence, he pointed to a room in the middle and said, "Ah Gu, this room is where I live. The two rooms at the end are errand rooms for the disciples who come here to clean. Just don't live there."

Ah Gu nodded when he heard this, and then walked towards the room closest to Jiang Chengheng.

Jiang Heng followed A Guer in. The room was simple, with only a bed, a table and two chairs.

Although simple, it is very neat.

Jiang Heng then said to A Gu, "I originally had two disciples, but they both met with accidents while on escort missions. Although we rescued them in time, they still left. Now there are only you and me left in Jiang Hengju."

Jiang Heng may have felt that what he said was not appropriate, so he immediately added: "Of course, there are also a few inner sect elders who have no disciples."

"In the Hengdao Escort Agency headquarters, Li Jingang and I are the only ones without any disciples. We are both alone, so Elder Du, who is in charge, asked us to watch the inner sect assessment and wanted us to choose a disciple from the newcomers."

"Speaking of the inner sect examinations in the past, there has never been a scene where the inner sect elder personally went to select disciples."

After saying this, Hengjiang laughed at himself.

He continued, "In the past, the Inner Gate Great Elder would not accept disciples during the Inner Gate assessment. Generally, it was the Inner Gate Elders who accepted disciples. The Inner Gate Great Elders accepted disciples who were basically disciples with good connections and potential outside, or the Escort Agency would arrange them if they saw a suitable one."

Jiang Heng glanced at A Gu, and seeing that A Gu was still a little nervous, he continued to say to A Gu: "You don't have to be too nervous. Let me briefly introduce the escort agency to you."

Jiang Heng saw a hint of curiosity in A Gu's eyes and knew that A Gu was indeed not very clear about the status of the Hengdao Escort Agency.

Jiang Heng said to A Gu, "Hengdao Escort Agency. There are no branches in the Imperial City and the King's City. There are only nine branches in the county towns of the nine counties."

"The Hengdao Escort Agency in Hengdao County is the headquarters and the origin of the Hengdao Escort Agency. In other words, the Hengdao Escort Agency has one headquarters and eight branches. This is the layout of the Hengdao Escort Agency."

"Whether it's the headquarters or the branch, there is always a king in charge. One is for the sake of command, and the other is to facilitate rescue."

"So, our Hengdao Escort Agency is not just an escort agency, but can also be said to be the most prominent force in the martial arts world."

Hearing this, Ah Gu couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Can the dynasty tolerate us becoming so powerful?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Heng laughed at himself when he heard Ah Gu's words, and continued, "How can I allow others to snore under my bed?"

"Have you ever heard of any underworld forces in this world? Back then, the Emperor Taizu of the Shenlong Dynasty was wise and powerful. When he founded the country, he had already wiped out most of the underworld forces."

"Most of the larger forces in the martial arts world now have some relationship with the dynasty."

"The others are at most some business houses, inns, and noble families. Business houses and inns basically don't have fifth-order king-level masters in charge. Noble families are better, but fifth-order kings are rare, and they are definitely not comparable to our escort agency."

"Then why?"

A Gu asked doubtfully.

Hengjiang looked at the confused A Gu and patiently explained to him.

"First, we are also considered the founding force of the Shenlong Dynasty. When Patriarch Li Hengdao opened the escort agency, it was tacitly approved by the Emperor Taizu of the Shenlong Dynasty. Patriarch Li Hengdao was a loyal minister who founded the dynasty, and we are considered the dynasty's own force."

"Secondly, we never go against the dynasty. We basically do whatever they say. As long as the dynasty gives an order and it's normal, we will execute it."

"Thirdly, we also have self-awareness. We have abandoned the sphere of influence of the imperial capital and the royal city, and only opened a branch of the escort agency in the nine counties. This can be regarded as a demonstration of our loyalty."

"Fourthly, when we joined Hengdao Escort Agency, we valued the words trust and loyalty the most. Trust means honesty, and loyalty also represents loyalty to the dynasty."

"Fifth, by the time the dynasty reacted, the Hengdao Escort Agency had become too powerful to be eliminated. The nine escort kings were already the top military force of the dynasty. Moreover, the combat power of the escort kings was far superior to that of the war kings, spirit kings, and mind kings of the same level."

"Sixth, the empire is still not peaceful. There are evil spirits rampant in the south and endless evil spirits in the north. We need our military forces to suppress them first."

“If the dynasty wipes out the Hengdao Escort Agency, even if all the escort agency members do not resist and comply with the dynasty’s annihilation, then in the next few hundred years, invasions by monsters and evil spirits will become extremely frequent, and even the dynasty will be in danger of being destroyed.”

"So you understand, A-Gu."

Ah Gu understood what he said and said subconsciously, "Yes, I just encountered a beast tide and was chased all the way here."

"Oh? Were you chased here by a monster? Where are your family members?"

Jiang Heng asked curiously.

A Gu said to Jiang Heng, "I was abandoned in the wilderness when I was young. I didn't know where my home was. They all said I was an orphan without a father or a mother. After being picked up by an old drunkard, I worked in the fields every day and was whipped when I got home. Later I learned that our village was called Tianlin Village."

Hengjiang felt a little sad, but also a little curious, and then asked: "Tianlin Village? Tianlin Village in Sanhe County, Wu'an County? And then?"

Ah Gu nodded and said, "Yes, Tianlin Village in Sanhe County, Wu'an County."

Ah Gu went on to say, "Later, monsters invaded the village and killed all the villagers. I was malnourished and weak, so I hid in the chicken coop and fainted from hunger. After the rescuers repelled the monsters, I wanted to flee to the county town, but I was chased by wild dogs all the way and was bitten. Although I killed the wild dogs in the end, I couldn't find the way and could only walk by feeling."

When A Gu said this, he scratched his head embarrassedly, but Heng Jiang looked at A Gu with some heartache and felt very uncomfortable.

Ah Gu continued, "Then I walked to the official road in a daze, and was accidentally trampled by a speeding carriage. The carriage ran away, and I felt uncomfortable, but I still insisted on standing up, and finally arrived in Hengdao County."

"The soldiers at the gate of Hengdao County were quite nice. They let me into the county directly. However, my injuries were too severe. I could not stand being a beggar for a few days. My injuries were too severe. But there is always a way out. A kind passerby called a doctor for me. The doctor treated me and I was lucky to have a chance of survival."

Ah Gu smiled heartlessly at this point and said, "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. Isn't that why I have come to my master, haha."

Jiang Heng's eyes turned red, and he said to A Gu, "So, the reason why you are called A Gu is because you don't have a given name, only a surname, right?"

Ah Gu said to Jiang Heng: "It's good to have a surname. No, it's good to be alive. God still favors me."

Jiang Heng also forced a smile after hearing this and said, "How about this, you become my disciple, I am your master, and also half your father, how about I give you a name?"

Ah Gu nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."

Jiang Heng's eyes were red as he slowly said to A Gu, "I heard that there is a saying in Buddhism that the most miserable place in the world is called hell. There are eighteen levels of hell, representing eighteen of the most severe punishments in the world."

Jiang Heng paused and continued, "Your childhood seems to have passed through the eighteen levels of hell. Now, you have come to the nineteenth level, which is the human world."

Jiang Heng looked at Ah Gu and continued, "Today, the relationship between you and me as a master and disciple has been sealed. From now on, I will never let you suffer in hell. From now on, you will be called Gu Nineteen."
