Chapter 105: The River

The county seat of Song County is rising day by day.

It's a small inn, the food isn't nice enough, the beds aren't soft enough, and there's even a little musty smell.

Now Xue Ling understands that the original Xiao Soul Inn is not the bottom line of the inn, on the contrary, the Xiao Soul Inn takes a small and refined route.

But, at least there is one good thing about this inn, and that is that it is mediocre and cheap enough.

Sheng Junqian doesn't like it very much, because he never asks for the best, but for the most expensive.

But mediocrity, Xue Ling likes it very much.

Mediocrity means that the inn is unremarkable.

Last night, before nightfall, Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian stayed in this inn, and finally Sheng Junqian took on the role of a drug tester, and after Sheng Junqian had eaten an hour and a half to confirm that everything was fine, Xue Ling ate a little dried broth.

The county seat of Song County is actually at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, and after walking more than ten miles out of the county seat, you will enter the mountainous area of Baiyun Mountain, so whether it is to inquire about the news here or to prepare to enter the mountainous area, it is necessary to stay in the county seat of Song County.

Early the next morning, Xue Ling settled the house money, and then led the two horses to the post station in Song County with Sheng Junqian to let the groom there help take care of the feeding - the horses were okay on the official road, but when they reached the mountainous area, the mountain road was rugged and steep, and it was a little difficult to walk.

Xue Ling is now working hard to learn all the bee wing skills, and now he is just putting what he has learned into practice.

"So then we'll go to Baiyun Mountain?" Walking on the streets of Song County, Sheng Junqian couldn't help but ask Xue Ling.

Xue Ling shook his head: "Maybe you have to go, but not now." ”

"Because we don't know where the old man is." Xue Ling said.

"Isn't Tian Bulao in Baiyun Mountain?" Sheng Junqian said.

"Yes, Tianbu is in Baiyun Mountain." Xue Ling nodded: "But Baiyun Mountain is so big, with a radius of nearly 100 miles, throwing a few people into it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we can't just rely on those words to enter Baiyun Mountain." ”

Sheng Junqian nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Xue Ling: "Then where are we going now?" ”

"Ask people who might know the news of Immortal, of course." Xue Ling said.

"Where do you know?" Sheng Junqian asked.

Xue Ling smiled, looked at Sheng Junqian, and gently spit out two words.

"Pharmacy."

……

……

If you want to ask about medicinal herbs, of course, you have to ask the pharmacy.

And no matter the township, people will get sick, and if they are sick, they need to seek medical advice, and there are doctors and pharmacies.

Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian asked almost every pharmacy they saw from left to right in the county seat of Song County, but when they wanted to catch the medicine, as long as they mentioned the three words "Tian Bulao", the other party would look at the two of them with wide eyes, and then say like a fly to go.

We don't know if you have such a medicine and you are here to entertain us.

In a few places, it was like this, which made Sheng Junqian feel a little discouraged, but Xue Ling was not hit.

Because if Tian Bu Lao is easy to find, he will not let two people travel hundreds of miles to Baiyun Mountain to find the whereabouts of Tian Bu Lao.

And unconsciously, the two of them found noon from the morning, and still found nothing.

At this time, it was still the height of summer, and the sun was scorching, so the two of them sat down at a nearby tea stall and asked for a bowl of herbal tea to relieve the heat.

After sitting down, Sheng Junqian sighed: "I didn't expect that the people here had never even heard of the flavor medicine of Tian Immortal. ”

Xue Ling shook his head seriously: "No, I feel that they haven't heard of it, but they have heard it, and they are taboo about this medicinal material." ”

Sheng Junqian took a big sip of herbal tea and looked at Xue Ling incredulously: "How can you see it?" ”

Xue Ling still didn't touch the herbal tea in front of him, the reason why he wanted two bowls was just because it was strange to ask for one.

"It's just a medicine." Xue Ling said quietly: "No, no, why did the other party drive us out?" ”

"Is it because of our foreigners' accents and origins?"

"Or something else?"

"In short, there must be something strange in this."

When Sheng Junqian heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

What Xue Ling said does make sense.

"And let's ask again?" Sheng Junqian looked at Xue Ling: "This time, we will pay a lot of money to buy, maybe it will have a different effect." ”

"Nope." Xue Ling shook his head and said, "I don't think the effect will be great." ”

"Why?" Sheng Junqian said unconvinced.

"Because the other party is taboo, and if we are taboo, the higher we price, the more suspicious they become." Xue Ling shook his head and said, "If you want to break the game, the best way is to shoot with a familiar face." ”

"Familiar faces?" Sheng Junqian asked.

"Yes, familiar faces." Xue Ling confirmed: "Only familiar faces they know have a chance to gain their trust." ”

And at this time, someone next to him laughed: "Aren't you afraid of being heard by others when you talk so loudly?" ”

Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a somewhat dirty boy squatting aside and speaking.

"You are?" He looked almost like a little beggar, estimated to be fourteen or fifteen years old, Xue Ling couldn't help asking.

"It doesn't matter who I am." The boy stood up and laughed: "You look like a foreigner, looking for a foreigner who is not old, there are so many every year, I don't know how many people are hired in the city, but I can't find them when I enter the mountain." ”

"If you're lucky, you'll be able to come back alive."

"If you're unlucky, you just put your life into the mountains."

"So the news of the immortality has been circulating in Song County for a long time?" Xue Ling couldn't help asking.

The boy grinned, "My mouth is dry, you let me have a cup of tea." ”

Xue Ling raised his hand and was about to ask Dr. Tea to pour another bowl of tea, but the boy waved his hand and looked at Xue Ling: "I want your bowl of tea." ”

"You haven't drunk it until now, anyway."

The picture that Xue Ling remembered at that moment was, "If my uncle had a heart, he would have drunk half of the slave's residual wine." ”

But she really hadn't drunk this bowl of tea, and the girl didn't say anything about mental cleanliness now, she nodded and pushed the bowl of tea to the young man: "You drink it." ”

The dirty boy swaggered over, picked up the tea bowl with both hands, took a sip of it, and then wiped his mouth: "Thank you, girl, for the tea." ”

"My name is Jiang Liu."

He looked at the two of them, his eyes dark.

"You're looking for Immortal, aren't you?"

"So you know what immortality is?"

"What's the use of you looking for immortality?"

The young man named Jiang Liu asked like a cannon.

And Xue Ling looked at him and replied quietly: "In order to treat a friend of ours, we are looking for Tian Immortal, and I heard the news that there is Tian Immortal in Baiyun Mountain. ”

"That's why I got here from L.A."

When Jiang Liu heard this, he instantly burst into laughter: "That's it?" ”
