The fourth round of male and female ginseng
Luo Kun left Guping Town with Wang Huai's caravan and came all the way to Shanhaiguan. Luo Kun saw that most of the goods on the dozen or so carriages were covered with tarpaulins, and he didn't know what to carry, so he said to Wang Huai: "Mr. Wang, why did you bring so many things when you went to Kanto to sell goods?" Wang Huai said: "From Guangdong to Kanto, the road is long, and it is very inconvenient to walk with ready-made silver taels. The car was loaded with silk, tea and other good goods from the south of the Yangtze River, and they went to Kanto to exchange for some furs, medicine villages and other mountain specialties, so that the profit was more than ten times. This is a common technique for merchants, and it is much more affordable than the purchase of money alone. When Luo Kun heard this, he was secretly surprised, knowing that this merchant also had great skills.
By noon, the caravan had arrived in front of the world's first Xiongguan Shanhaiguan, and saw the Great Wall from afar, and the guys were excited. When Luo Kun saw the Great Wall for the first time, he couldn't help but be amazed. Seeing the winding city wall, like a giant dragon, coiling between the mountains and mountains, stretching away, with no end in sight, it was very majestic, Luo Kun was stunned for a while. There were garrisons guarding the Shanhaiguan Pass, and after checking the caravan's writings, collecting the card gold, and then releasing it out of the customs. Luo Kun looked at the Great Wall left and right on the horse, and was amazed. Wang Huai saw it and said with a smile: "If you don't go to the Great Wall, you're not a hero!" This time, the Luo Kun brothers are also a good man. Zhang Lu also smiled beside him: "I didn't climb the Great Wall in person, once I passed, it doesn't count, and I have to go up and see it when I turn around, and the mood is different." Wang Yunping said: "It's been up for a long time, and it's tiring, so it's better to watch from a distance." ”
Wang Huai asked everyone at this time: "Do you know the allusion of the Great Wall?" Huang Kui, the dart master over there, responded: "Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, who doesn't know about these?" Wang Huai said again: "Master Huang, do you know the true intention of Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall?" Huang Kui said: "It's because of the fear of consolidating the border defense to prevent the Yi tribe from disturbing the interior, and when you go out of the customs, don't you see that there are garrisons guarding it?" Does the gentleman mean anything else when he asks like this? Wang Huai nodded and said: "As the world knows, the scriptures and history all believe that the Great Wall is a defensive place to block the invasion of foreign invaders, and it is related to the war. This is the most important thing, and it is also the real purpose of Qin Shi Huang's construction of the Great Wall. When everyone heard this, they were all interested. Wang Yunping hurriedly said: "I hope that my uncle will say that he will understand with me." Wang Huai said: "It's okay, let's say it and let everyone relieve their boredom." Then he said: "I have an old man, who is a famous geographer in feng shui, and he calls himself Mr. Xiayun. Wang Yunping said: "But the madman who came to the house a year ago? Wang Huai said: "It is this person, in fact, although Mr. Xiayun is not formal, he is a master of the world with strange arts, especially good at geography and feng shui." Zhang Lu said on the side: "The art of feng shui, it's just a trick to deceive people, what kind of master can there be among these warlocks." Wang Huai said: "The art of geographical feng shui is difficult to understand, but there are also extremely effective examples. Zhang Lu was eager to hear the story, so he asked, "I don't know what Mr. Xiayun has to say about the Great Wall?" ”
Wang Huai said slowly at this time: "Mr. Xiayun once said that the Great Wall is actually a kind of 'Changlong Water Diversion Bureau' in geography, also known as 'Canglong Water Diversion Bureau'. After hearing this, everyone felt that it was new and bizarre, and they hurriedly asked for details. Wang Huai continued: "After Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, when the world was first decided, the people's minds should be governed, and the first priority should be to stop grievances and calm the people. But Qin Shi Huang couldn't wait and poured the whole country into building the Great Wall, because after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, all the strange people in the world were gathered under Qin Shi Huang alone. Among them, there are masters who proposed to Qin Shi Huang the policy of national security, which is to set up this geographical feng shui pattern to protect the 'foundation of the descendants of the great Qin rivers and mountains'. Later historians do not know the true purpose of Qin Shi Huang's construction of the Great Wall, but they are based on the scriptures and history, so there is no objection. Huang Kui said on the side: "Before the pre-Qin period, Yan and Zhao had built the Great Wall, and Qin Shi Huang just expanded it one after another, how can it be related to geography?" Wang Huai said: "During the Warring States Period, the Great Wall of Yan and Zhao was actually used for border defense, but these are just 'scattered dragons', Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, so naturally there was a 'long dragon'." In fact, there are many reasons for the loss of the country, and the high and thick city walls cannot stop the enemy's thousands of troops. Qin Shi Huang also knew this very well, so the whole country built the Great Wall, not to use the city wall to reject foreigners, but to consolidate the country geographically. At that time, the Great Wall was built from Lintao in the west to the mouth of the Liaohai Sea in the east, with the intention of leading the water of the East China Sea. Wang Yunping was surprised: "How can this lead the water of the East China Sea?" Wang Huai said: "It's just a guide." Thinking about the land of China, there are two 'water dragons' of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, rolling eastward and flowing straight into the sea, and the veins of the dragon are spread everywhere, feeding my Chinese nation. The 'Canglong Water Diversion Bureau' then diverts the water of the East China Sea to restore the water vapor, in order to show the meaning of feng shui rotation, which can protect one day and last forever. With its majestic momentum, the Great Wall has become the largest feng shui pattern in the world, and it wants to win the sky with manpower and set the world forever. ”
Everyone saw that Wang Huai spoke mysteriously and mysteriously, but there seemed to be some truth, and the more they listened, the more they listened. Wang Yunping asked: "Since there is such a feng shui pattern to bless, it is only right that the Great Qin Dynasty should be eternal, but why did the Qin Dynasty die?" Wang Huai said: "There are many reasons here, one is that Qin Shi Huang died early, and there was no final conclusion, so the water vapor is gone, and the dragon vein is not obvious." Huang Kui said with a smile: "Mr. is really good at telling stories, the Great Wall has been a border defense place since ancient times, and it is used for war, where will such a strange talk be born." Wang Huai said: "It is used for military defense to prevent foreigners from disturbing the interior, and it is only necessary to build some in strategic places, but why does it extend to the mountains and mountains, where people and horses cannot reach?" Moreover, it spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, so that the people were forced to rebel, and the world was restless, didn't Qin Shi Huang understand this truth? "This ......," Huang Kui was asked rhetorically. Zhang Lu said on the side: "In the end, didn't the Qin Dynasty fall soon? This 'Canglong Water Diversion Bureau' doesn't work at all. ”
Wang Huai sighed at this time and said: "To win the sky with manpower, there must be a process, Qin Shi Huang was in a hurry, in order to establish the national foundation as soon as possible, and even disregarded the people's livelihood grievances. This feng shui pattern is too large, and before it takes shape, a woman cries in the middle and vents the 'dragon qi'. Zhang Lu smiled: "But Meng Jiangnu is crying on the Great Wall? When the men heard this, they burst into laughter. Wang Huai nodded and said, "Yes, it is this Meng Jiangnu." Huang Kui said on the side: "Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall has this matter, the folk spread it widely, and now there is a Jiangnu temple on the edge of the Great Wall." But it's no wonder, can this Meng Jiangnu really cry down the Great Wall? Wang Huai said: "Meng Jiangnu is really a Jiang girl, a Jiang girl, and a dragon girl!" Zhang Lu was surprised: "What does this have to do with the name?" Wang Huai said: "Have you never heard that the phoenix chick Pang Tong of the Three Kingdoms died in Luofengpo?" Zhang Lu said: "It's just a coincidence." Wang Huai said: "Coincidental things are extraordinary things. That Meng Jiangnu may be the reincarnation of the dragon girl in the river, the dragon girl who has become a human form complains about the dragon that has not become fully formed, and the dragon can't bear it, so it self-destructs its shape for 800 miles. After the Great Wall was cried down by Meng Jiangnu, Qin Shi Huang was furious and wanted to kill the person who broke his dragon vein. Later, some masters offered advice, saying that Meng Jiangnu was a dragon girl, so she could cry through the 'Canglong Water Diversion Bureau', because the resentment was too heavy. The Great Wall dragon qi has been discharged, and there is no way to remedy it, but the only one who can make up for it is to let Qin Shi Huang marry Meng Jiangnu as his wife, eliminate his grievances, and stabilize the sky with people. Thinking that there are countless beauties in the Afang Palace, even if Meng Jiangnu has the appearance of a fairy, Qin Shi Huang will not pay attention to this person who broke the dragon vein of other countries, but in order to remedy the 'Canglong Water Diversion Bureau', Qin Shi Huang had to do it. How do you know that Meng Jiangnu is a fierce woman, who can't find a husband for thousands of miles, but she threw herself into the water and died, so the dragon vein qi of the Great Wall was vented when Qin Shi Huang was. Although it will continue to be built in the future, it will only save the remaining energy, but it will not have any great effect. After hearing this, the guys looked at each other and laughed, and secretly said, "Fallacy! Fallacy! ”
Wang Huai still gushed at this time: "When Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, in order to prevent the people from recognizing this 'Canglong Water Diversion Bureau', he burned books to fool the people of the world, and many strange books were destroyed at that time. The dragon veins of the Great Wall lost their geographical role, but for border defense, there was a situation of dynasty change. Wang Yunping asked: "Can't the Great Wall now have that kind of mysterious effect?" Wang Huai said: "Mr. Xiayun said that although the Great Wall has lost the power of the country, its aura still exists, but unfortunately it has been destroyed by war, and there are many defects, and the dragon's tail has become a desolate desert, which is because the water and gas are gone." If it is rebuilt and rebuilt, so that the dragon's head and tail are not broken, and there is also the role of turning the desert into an oasis and maintaining the long-term fortune of the country, the "Changlong Water Diversion Bureau" still has some aura. Therefore, this dynasty attaches great importance to the restoration of the Great Wall, so that there is a Great Wall from the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west. Wang Yunping said again: "Along the way, it seems that the Great Wall is not a far away, but also parallel, and it is also far away. Wang Huai said: "Listen to Mr. Xiayun said, these are a few 'companion dragons', which have the role of guarding the main dragon vein, if the Great Wall is connected from Haikou to the bottom, the aura will be great." Wang Huai's remarks about the Great Wall made the guys hear the clouds and mountains and fog. Luo Kun secretly praised on the side: "Mr. Wang is really knowledgeable!" ”
The caravan marched for another two days and then entered the territory of the Jurchens. The Ming Dynasty once set up the Nuer Gandu Siwei Office in the eastern part of the country, and with the gradual strengthening of the Jurchens, the Nuer Gandu Siwei Office slowly lost its role. However, the business exchanges between the Jurchen tribes and the people in the Guannai have not been interrupted for the time being, and the silk, tea, handicrafts, ironware and other goods in the Guannai are transported to the Jurchen tribes in exchange for special products such as cattle and horses, furs, and medicinal materials, especially in autumn.
Wang Huai's caravan came to a checkpoint, and suddenly saw that the checkpoint was full of Jurchen soldiers and horses, and every person and every cargo out of the checkpoint was being closely searched, and all the people and goods entering the checkpoint were spared, and the atmosphere was more tense than before. Everyone in the caravan didn't know why, and they wondered in their hearts. After Wang Yunping went to pay the checkpoint tax, he came back and said to Wang Huai: "Uncle, it's not a big deal, it seems that the Jurchens are searching for something important." When Wang Huai heard this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. The caravan passed the checkpoint and continued on its way. When Luo Kun first arrived outside the Guan, the scenery of Kanto that he saw along the way was very different from that of the Central Plains, and he was happy with his youthful temperament. The caravan traveled all the way, choosing as densely populated towns as possible, and then looking for a horse shop to rest in peace.
The caravan moved forward for a few more days, feeling that the temperature was cooler than that in the pass, and the mountains and dense forests were gradually increasing, so the expressions of Wang Huai, Huang Kui and others became a little nervous and vigilant. In the afternoon, the caravan entered a plain area, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Lu laughed with a few men. At this moment, I suddenly saw a lot of dust in front of me, and more than 100 horsemen came towards me. When Huang Kui saw it, he exclaimed, "Horse thief! Everyone, beware. The men were shocked, and each showed his sword and gun, and surrounded the carriage and horses. Although Wang Huai's face changed greatly at this time, he knew that he must be calm at this time, and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, act when you have the opportunity." In an instant, the more than 100 horsemen swept in, and immediately they were full of fierce masked people, dancing with knives and guns, menacing. At a distance of dozens of meters from the caravan, the first two people collected their mounts, one of them raised his hand, and fifty or sixty horsemen divided the two sides of the caravan, and in an instant surrounded the people, horses, carriages and goods.
Huang Kui saw that things were not good, so he had the courage to lead the horse forward, and arched his hand and said, "I don't know where you are heroes?" Then he pulled out the single knife on his back. The black-clothed man over there sneered, untied a giant hard bow from his horse, mounted a long feather arrow, and shouted at Huang Kui, "Look!" "When the bowstring sounded, an arrow flew. Huang Kui was shocked, and was just about to raise his knife to block, but his arrow had arrived, and it was hitting the back of the single-knife knife, but when he heard a crisp sound of "dang", the single-knife was broken in two. Huang Kui's right arm was numb and painful, and he almost lost consciousness, so he couldn't help but throw out the other half of the knife handle, and he was horrified, leading the horse to retreat quickly, knowing that the other party's subordinates were merciful, and he had no intention of hurting himself, so he didn't dare to say anything more. The men were immediately frightened and looked at each other. Luo Kun was secretly surprised: "What a powerful archery!" "I can't help but worry about the situation of the caravan.
The man in black stopped the caravan with an arrow, and then collected the giant bow. Another black-clothed man next to him shouted loudly: "Old passers-by, listen, we will not rob goods or kill people today, but please open the goods on the car and the packages on your body and spread them on the ground, I will find something later, and leave after checking." If not, don't blame me for making trouble. Wang Huai was shocked when he heard this, knowing that the car was full of good goods from the south of the Yangtze River, and these robbers could not rob them when they saw it. Wang Huai has been a businessman for many years, and he is also a person who has experienced risks, and he knows that he can only do what the other party wants at this time, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe, judging from the arrow just now, the other party is not an ordinary horse thief, maybe he really wants to find something. Wang Huai then instructed Wang Yunping: "Do what they want, unload and unpack." Wang Yunping hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Wang Huai was resolute, he had to turn around and say to the guys: "Unload and unpack, spread it on the ground and put it away, be careful not to damage it." When the men heard this, they dismounted and disassembled one after another, and for a while, colorful silks, all kinds of utensils, and bags of tea were ...... All kinds of goods are placed all over the place, and they are very dazzling. Seeing Luo Kun, he exclaimed in his heart: "Good guy! So many goodies! "I was even more worried and scared for the caravan.
At this time, the black-clothed man at the head waved his hand, and dozens of people behind him let their horses come. When they got closer, they dismounted and rushed to the goods. Wang Huai closed his eyes and thought, "It's over!" "When I saw these black-clad masked men, they only glanced at the scattered and easily searchable things, whether they were high or low, and ignored them, but carefully examined the large items that were packed into bags, and when they had finished searching, they threw them aside, without the slightest intention of plundering, and were really trying to find something. When Wang Huai and the others saw it, they were all surprised in their hearts, and they didn't know what these people were looking for. The men in black rummaged for a long time, as if they found nothing, and after carefully searching the contents of each man and each horse, but when they found nothing, they whistled and gave up the messy goods all over the ground, and without taking anything, they flew on their horses and retreated. One of them whispered a few words to the masked man in charge, and the man nodded, and then said to this side, "Excuse me! With a wave of his hand, more than 100 horses galloped, and in a blink of an eye, the dust and smoke were far away, and the group of thieves went by themselves.
The guys were still palpitating at this time, and they were stunned, like falling into the clouds, and they didn't know why the other party acted like this, which was inexplicable. Wang Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, said "lucky", and shouted to the dazed guys: "Why don't you load the car and hurry, what are you waiting to do?" The guys woke up like a dream, so they were busy packing the goods, and Luo Kun also stepped forward to help. Wang Huai sat on his horse and shook his head at the actions of the group of thieves. The dart master Huang Kui blushed, led the horse to Wang Huaima, and opened his mouth to say something. Wang Huai waved his hand and stopped: "The thieves are powerful, no wonder Master Huang, we have not lost anything, please don't blame yourself." Huang Kui's face was ashamed, he bowed his hand to Wang Huai, and led the horse aside.
The goods were loaded onto the cart, and the caravan continued on its way. Although there was no danger in this encounter, everyone was even more careful along the way. After a few more days, the crowd gradually increased, and the people calmed down a little. On the way, some strange people are often found, and some even secretly follow the caravan and peep in private. Horses often come and go in front of the caravan, as if they were observing something, and when they were sure that they had found nothing, they disappeared, and the whole Kanto region seemed to be in an unusual atmosphere. When resting in the horse shop, it is common to see people talking about a priceless treasure, which is very mysterious. Because they were frightened on the way, it was inconvenient for the people in the caravan to come forward to inquire, so as not to attract attention and get into trouble again, and there were strange guests in strange costumes who often looked at people with suspicious eyes. After a few more days, a large tribe of Jurchens appeared in front of them, that is, the destination of the caravan, and Wang Huai and his men had a happy face. It was still far away from the tribe, and it had already alarmed the tribesmen, and a young Jurchen man rode a horse to meet him and asked, "But the old king of Guangdong has arrived?" Wang Huaiying said: "It's Wang." The young man said happily, "The patriarch has been waiting for the old guest for many days, so I will go and report it." With that, Pegasus went.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, a group of men and horses had been welcomed from the tribe in front, led by an old Jurchen man, followed by forty or fifty horsemen, all young and strong, with bows and swords. Wang Huai saw this side and hurriedly drove forward. The old man of the Jurchen clan raised his hand and beckoned: "But Wang Huai, the old guest? Wang Huai waved his hand and said happily: "Is it the patriarch of Aguhong?" The two horses intersected, and the two held hands and laughed, as if they were old friends reunited. Ah Guhong immediately waved his hand, and the people behind him rode to both sides to make way for a way, Wang Huai talked and laughed with Ah Guhong, and led the caravan into the tribe.
It was a large tribe of a thousand households, with well-ordered houses built of wooden piles, rows of animal skins on the roof, large pieces of bacon and bunches of mushrooms hanging under the eaves, and a few majestic hounds barking a few times before they were stopped by their owners. The inside and outside of the tribe makes people feel so rough and wild, and there is a different kind of Kanto style everywhere. As soon as the caravan arrived, the tribe was boiling, and the old and young were vying for it, and it immediately became lively. The caravan was welcomed into a large courtyard, where it was picked up by its own people. As if they had arrived at home, the men let the Jurchens unload the goods into the warehouse, did not go to the caretaker for inspection, and were very relieved to sit down and drink with their enthusiastic hosts. In order to welcome the caravan from afar, the tribe prepared a sumptuous banquet, and the table was filled with mountain delicacies. Wang Yunping, Huang Kui, Luo Kun and the others were pulled by the hospitable Jurchens, drinking wine in large bowls and eating meat in large pieces. The Jurchens are bold and rough, everyone is good at drinking, and they persuade the guys to drink happily.
Wang Huai was invited upstairs by A Guhong alone, where he prepared a more sumptuous and elaborate banquet. The two sat down, raised a glass and drank happily, and talked about old things, but kept their mouths shut about business, which was also the first time that the Jurchens were hospitable. Wang Huai and A Guhong persuaded each other a few cups, and recounted their feelings when they saw each other again. Wang Huai then said: "Old patriarch, there is something unclear today, please advise." A Guhong smiled: "You and I have been in contact for many years, honest and honest with each other, there is something but it is okay to talk about it, and I know everything." Wang Huai then told Ah Guhong everything he had experienced on the way out of the customs. After hearing this, Ah Guhong slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and said solemnly: "This matter is a long story. A month ago, I was in Changbai Baoshan, the holy land of Kanto, and unearthed a double-body 'male and female group ginseng king'. When Wang Huai heard this, he exclaimed, "There is such a miracle! "I was immediately amazed.
Ah Guhong took a sip of wine and said with emotion: "This rare miracle for thousands of years, I didn't expect it to appear in our place." Ah Guhong let Wang Huai drink and food, and then said: "This king was dug by a young man of my Jurchen tribe by accident on a towering stone stone, and after it was unearthed, the stone stone collapsed that night due to the loss of aura. "Huh?" Hearing this, Wang Huai exclaimed. Ah Guhong said again: "After the young man got this treasure, he was bought by an old guest in the customs who came to the customs for 30,000 taels of snowflake silver. When Wang Huai heard this, he slapped his thigh with remorse, and said: "Such a divine object, it is not encountered in a thousand years, and 100,000 taels of silver is not much!" A Guhong then said: "After the old customers in the customs bought this ginseng king, they were very surprised, and immediately gave up the large number of mountain goods they had purchased, and left overnight with their henchmen. Who knew that a few days later, somehow the news was revealed, someone found that the old guest and a group of seventeen people were killed in the barren mountains and wilderness, and the 'male and female ginseng king' disappeared. Since then, the Kanto region has not been peaceful, and there have been a series of bloody crimes. Wang Huai was surprised: "No wonder the noble soldiers and horses and those horse thieves and robbers are also mobilizing, which makes people panic, it turns out that they are all fighting for this treasure." Ah Guhong said: "The great leader of my Jurchen tribe has released the news that those who offer this thing will be rewarded with 5,000 horses, 10,000 cattle and sheep, 300 slaves, and a good piece of land, which can be the lord of one party." After hearing this, Wang Huai exclaimed: "Who has this great blessing? Ah Guhong said again: "That King Shen is my treasure mountain artifact, and I will not let it flow out of Kanto, so the investigation is very tight." However, although this artifact has not left the Kanto region, it is not known who has fallen into the hands of anyone. In the past month, the black and white characters in the world have gathered in Kanto to compete for this treasure, and I don't know how many more people will die because of it. After speaking, Ah Guhong shook his head and sighed. Wang Huai was also surprised.
The next day, Ah Guhong asked people to put out the special mountain goods such as furs and medicinal herbs collected in the tribe. Wang Huai was very happy to see that these goods were much more than in previous years, and the condition was good, and he made a list of goods and A Guhong, indicating the goods to be traded between the two sides. Ah Guhong ordered people to stock up according to the order, and looked at the silk, tea and other Jiangnan specialties brought by Wang Huai, and he also liked it. Wang Huai then took Wang Yunping and Luo Kun to several nearby tribes to order some goods, and returned to Aguhong's tribe in the evening. Ah Guhong set up a banquet again, and the guests and hosts were very happy and happy until late at night.
After a few days, the goods in the Aguhong tribe were almost ready, Wang Huaiyin was busy counting, so he asked Luo Kun to go to several nearby tribes to urge the goods ordered before, and gave Luo Kun a tael of silver, let him buy some food at will, Luo Kun took the order and went happily.
These tribes are not very far from Aguhong's tribe, and Luo Kun has traveled all over them in one day. The patriarchs of those tribes asked Luo Kun to reply to Wang Huai, and most of the goods were ready, and they would come to pick them up in a few days, and they all rewarded Luo Kun with a little silver. After Luo Kun finished his work, he left the last tribe and rushed back, and when he was halfway there, he was a little tired, so he sat down under a tree to rest.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves alarmed Luo Kun, and when he got up to look, he saw a fast horse galloping from the southeast, and there seemed to be several horses chasing after him in the dusty place. Luo Kun was shocked, and hurriedly hid into a piece of grass to peek. The fast horse galloped to a poplar tree and suddenly stopped, and immediately a man in green clothes looked back at the approaching pursuers in the distance, and seemed to think that he might not be able to get out today, so he untied a long wooden box from his back, jumped off the horse, and hurried behind the tree, and saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly hid the wooden box in a bush, and then folded some weeds to cover it, and then looked around the surrounding environment, then flew on the horse, galloped away. A few moments later, more than a dozen men in black followed.
Luo Kun saw that those people were far away, so he got up and walked out of the grass, and said in his heart: "The person in the front looked panicked, I don't know what he hid there?" Let's take a look. Luo Kun came to the back of the poplar tree, and saw a piece of grass lying down, and some weeds were covered on it, and he knew that this was it. Reaching out to push the grass away, a rectangular wooden box was revealed underneath. Luo Kun was curious for a moment, so he opened the lid of the box, but saw that inside the box were two pairs of thick birch bark, which seemed to be wrapped in something. Luo Kun reached out and took the piece of bark on it, and saw that there was another layer of emerald green moss inside, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What is so troublesome?" Brushing away the layer of moss with his hand, when Luo Kun looked at it again, he couldn't help but shake his head and said disappointedly: "What should I be, it turned out to be two chervils growing together." Luo Kun had seen something similar in Aguhong's tribe, and asked Zhang Lu, who saw that Luo Kun didn't even know ginseng, so he joked that this was a specialty of Kanto chervi. In fact, Luo Kun inadvertently got the "male and female group ginseng king" that shook the whole territory of Kanto, and the mountain ginseng was precious, so it was kept fresh with moss to complete its shape.
Luo Kun didn't know this treasure at this time, thinking that it was two so-called chervishes growing together. On closer inspection, Luo Kun suddenly laughed, but saw that these two chervils had grown into human shapes, one looked like an eighty-year-old man, and the other looked like a seventeen or eighteen girl, with long whiskers intertwined with each other, and their upper bodies hugged each other. Luo Kun smiled: "No wonder that person lost this thing, it's very embarrassing to keep these two little radish people who are naked and hugging each other, and I don't know how they grow, and the whiskers of this mountain radish are too long." Luo Kun played with this treasure for a while, and thought: "I wonder if this chervil can be eaten raw?" At this time, Dan felt a slight thirst in his mouth, so he "snorted" and took a bite. After chewing a few times, Luo Kun couldn't help frowning, feeling bitter. After chewing carefully, there was a kind of sweetness, and he shook his head and said, "It's really not as delicious as the green radish in Tian Weng's vegetable garden." After a few more bites, he said to himself, "But it will be eaten." Luo Kun didn't distinguish between good and bad, he actually regarded this "male and female group ginseng king" as a radish, and simply ate it. After eating the ginseng, he took the rest of the ginseng in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed it a few times, frowned and swallowed hard, but it was not wasted at all. Luo Kun wiped his mouth, looked up and saw that it was not early, so he threw aside the birch bark, wooden box, moss and other things, stood up, and hurried back to the Aguhong tribe.
Luo Kun came back to see Wang Bei and explained what he had done, Wang Huai was very happy to hear it and praised him a few words. Because he didn't take the matter of eating "radish" on the road to heart, Luo Kun didn't mention it to others. At this time, Wang Yunping, Zhang Lu and others were counting the goods that had been bundled and exchanged, and Huang Kui's master and apprentice were also helping. Luo Kun saw that Zhang Lu was putting some chervils into a wooden box, so he stepped forward and said, "This chervil is not very delicious, it is very bitter!" As soon as these words came out, Wang Yunping, Zhang Lu and other people in the courtyard laughed, laughing so much that Luo Kun didn't know why. At this time, an old man of the Jurchen clan stepped forward and smiled at Luo Kun: "It seems that this little brother has never seen these good things when he first entered this way, right?" Zhang Lu said on the side: "He is new, he doesn't care about business, and he doesn't understand this business." "Oh!" The old Jurchen man nodded and said, "I see, I said!" Then he said to Luo Kun: "These carrots you are talking about are actually the ginseng that you Han people say, which greatly replenishes qi and blood." "Ginseng?" Luo Kun was stunned when he heard it, he had only heard of its name before, but he had not seen its shape, and knew that it was all precious things that only rich people could afford. The old Jurchen man continued: "Yes, this is ginseng. He pointed to the ginseng in Zhang Lu's hand and said: "This is garden ginseng, which is home-grown ginseng, which is not wild and very expensive." The old man casually opened a very delicate brocade box, pointed to the ginseng inside, and said: "This is the real wild ginseng, also called 'mallet', we Jurchens worship as 'mountain gods', this kind of ginseng grows in the high mountains and dense forests, back to the sun to the yin, do not like the wind and sun, it is extremely difficult to find." Luo Kun saw that the people in the brocade box participated in the 'chervish' that he ate was almost the same, but it was a little smaller. The old Jurchen man said: "Come and see, this mountain ginseng is wrinkled and long, don't look at its size, but it has grown for more than a hundred years, and is worth hundreds of taels of silver. Luo Kun was already stunned at this time, and said bitterly in his heart: "Good girl! Isn't that thing you eat on the road a big mountain ginseng? If it is said in this way, it will be worth at least one thousand eight taels of silver. Thinking of this, Luo Kun regretted it and stomped his head. When everyone saw it, they laughed, thinking that Luo Kun was blaming his own short-sightedness. Luo Kun was just about to tell everyone that he had eaten a strange-looking mountain ginseng, and suddenly said in his heart: "No, I regret it even more when I say it, so it's okay not to talk about it." Shaking his head, he went back to the house to rest.
Luo Kun lay on the wooden bed and pondered: "It turns out that the person was chased to rob him of the ginseng, which seems to be very valuable." It's a pity that I don't know the goods, so I ate it as a turnip. This matter must not be publicized, otherwise those who rob ginseng will know about it, and it will be strange if they don't kill it. Thinking of this, Luo Kun calmed down in his heart, knowing that if he didn't say it, no one would know who ate the ginseng. Suddenly, he thought about it again: "I heard that ginseng is a big tonic, and only rich people can afford it, since it is a tonic, it won't hurt me to eat it, right?" Luo Kun immediately patted his stomach and shook his head, but he didn't feel anything abnormal, so he was more relieved.
In the evening, Zhang Lu came in and called, "Brother Luo Kun, the old patriarch of Aguhong has invited us to a banquet again, let's go." Luo Kun was overjoyed when he heard this, jumped up from the bed, and followed Zhang Lu to the hall. At this time, the wine and food have been arranged, and it is nothing more than a large piece of meat, a large bowl of wine, and the like. The guys gathered around the table, Zhang Lu also pulled Luo Kun forward to sit down, and the Jurchens who accompanied the wine persuaded him to drink again. Luo Kunping can also eat a few pieces of meat and drink two bowls of wine, and at this time, sitting at the table, looking at the table full of wine and meat, but he felt that he was not hungry, and he did not have a trace of appetite, and said strangely in his heart: "I didn't eat anything more outside at noon, and my stomach was not very swollen, how could I feel like I couldn't eat like this?" Zhang Lu saw Luo Kun sitting there stunned, not moving the dishes and chopsticks, so he said: "Brother Luo Kun, such good wine and meat, why don't you eat it?" Luo Kun shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, you can use it slowly, I'll go first." With that, he got up and left the table. When Zhang Lu saw it, he secretly said in his heart: "Luo Kun must have eaten more good things outside, so that he can't eat this wine and meat, so I will enjoy it." "Eat and drink with the guys.
Luo Kun returned to the room, confused and puzzled. However, what is even more strange is that Luo Kun didn't sleep all night, and he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to, but he felt a hundred times more energetic and excited. When they got up in the morning, the guys saw him and each said, "Hey! Brother Luo Kun, why are you so energetic today? Luo Kun was also puzzled when he asked. During breakfast, Luo Kun felt that he was not hungry in his stomach, and seemed to feel that his body was filled with a kind of "saturation", so he returned to the room and said in his heart: "Could it be that the ginseng can't make up for it?" How is it good to go on like this? "I can't help but feel a little worried.
At this time, on the top of a mountain in the southeast direction of the Aguhong tribe, there were more than 30 horsemen, people on horses, all dressed in black clothes, and the leader was actually the Hercules who broke Huang Kui's single knife with an arrow. This person is a famous thief in the green forest of Kanto, surnamed Gong, the name is long, known as the "Mighty Bow King", good at making a giant hard bow, extremely powerful, his subordinates gathered nearly 10,000 Kanto Liukou, occupy the mountain and call the king. Of the 72 famous green forest cottages in Kanto, there are 56 cottages at their disposal, and they are the chief scoop in the green forests of Kanto. The thieves under his command were fierce and vigorous, the Jurchen tribes changed their color when they heard it, and the Jurchen iron cavalry also encircled and suppressed, all of which ended in failure, and the "Mighty Bow King" resounded throughout the entire territory of Kanto.
At this time, a village owner named Du Jian pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said to Gong Chang: "Chief village master, when the brothers caught up and captured He Xiong, the treasure was gone. In a fit of rage, the owner of the Thunder Sky Leopard Village broke He Xiong's limbs, and He Xiong suffered but couldn't help it, so he summoned him to hide the treasure on the way to escape. When the brothers found the place He Xiong pointed out, the treasure was gone, leaving only an empty box and two pieces of bark, which had obviously been taken away, and He Xiong did not dare to deceive us with the 'transfer of contracts'. Now it seems that the treasure was probably picked up by the Jurchens of the nearby tribe. Gong stared at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "First send the brothers to secretly investigate, if there is a whereabouts, *** back, if the Jurchens hide and do not hand over...... The bloodied tribe is not left, and the chickens and dogs are not left. ”
