Three months passed.

A merchant cargo ship headed from Jingzhou to Yucheng, Guanghan County, Yizhou, and a young man in brocade stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the vast river and the winding mountains on both sides, and then shook his head and sighed: "Shu Road is difficult, fortunately there is the Yangtze River." ”

"Master Lu, I'm going to enter Sichuan, there are many river thieves here, let's go on the boat."

A middle-aged man dressed as a merchant stood in the cargo ship and shouted, he beckoned everyone to speed up the rowing, as soon as possible through this place, there are a large number of river thieves in the place where the river enters, so that every time the merchants pass here, they are afraid to row faster, for fear of encountering robbers.

"Uncle Xie Li reminded."

The young man nodded, he turned around and entered the cabin, the cargo ship is a building ship, the cabin below is empty, the second floor is the cargo hold, the third floor is the resting place, the cargo ship is not big, but it is not small, there are 300 merchants and guards on board, and more than 30 passers-by, all of whom entered the river with the cargo ship.

The mountain roads in the river are rugged, so it is better to take the waterway.

Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan is to advance by land and water, but unfortunately, Yu Yucheng was blocked, and Feng Xiao Pang Tong also fell into Fengpo and was killed by an arrow.

That's when it happened.

There was a shouting outside.

The young man immediately rushed out, only to see a dozen or so broken ships slowly approaching the cargo ship, and at this moment, a cold arrow shot and swished, flying past his ears.

The sound of the ticking of the forced ferry, the sound of fighting with the guards.

The young man took out a heavy halberd and rushed forward, and a halberd knocked the river thieves away, and with a bang, more than a dozen river thieves had been killed and fell down the river.

"Childe be careful, they are Jinfan thieves!"

"Oh? Gan Ning? ”

The other party also noticed that the young man who was massacring the river thieves, he was holding a heavy halberd and wearing an iron mask on his face, standing on the board of the boat, and immediately shouted: "Damn it, kill him!" ”

The young man sneered, not afraid at all, and the hundreds of bandits who rushed up on the opposite side suddenly shouted: "Come on! Gan Xingba! If you call Gan Xingba out, just say that I, Lu Xingluo, will know a few tricks when looking for him! ”

"You remember it for me!" The thieves suddenly said angrily: "Withdraw! Fall back! ”

Lu Xingluo was Lu Chen, he looked at the thieves who left in a hurry, and suddenly wondered: "Gan Ning is not here?" Hey, it's a pity, it would be nice to be able to trick a military general into being a guard! ”

"Thank you Childe for helping again! Li Ran thanked again! ”

Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Li doesn't have to say thank you, if it weren't for Uncle Li saving me, I don't know if there is still me in the world, I should thank Uncle Li for saving my life, how can I let Uncle Li thank me?" ”

"Haha! Childe's words are serious, and this is also Childe's luck. ”

Li Ran arched his hand, and then invited Lu Chen into the cabin, they washed up, and then sat in the cabin, Li Ran brought a cup of hot tea and said: "Childe, what is the matter with your entry into Sichuan, can you talk to Li, maybe Li can help a little!" My Li family is also considered a rich family in Luocheng, and I Li Ran can still help with some small things. ”

Lu Chen sat down slowly, took the steaming tea, took a sip slowly, warmed his body, nodded and said, "I don't know where Uncle Li can find the alchemist?" ”

“？ Childe is looking for an alchemist? Li Ran asked with some surprise.

He was obviously stunned by Lu Chen's words, although the alchemist was not a secret in Sichuan, he was a mysterious existence outside.

Lu Chen nodded.

Li Ran said slowly: "Childe, if you want to find an alchemist, you can go to Chengdu County to have a look, the medicine pavilion is among them, it is not surprising that the alchemist is in Sichuan, but because of the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a move to refine the elixir of immortality, and now the alchemist has a secret order, according to the order, he must not leave Sichuan, and he must not show his alchemy skills in front of the world, and those who violate the order will be killed." ”

Lu Chen suddenly asked puzzled, "Secret order?" So why did the pharmacy appear? ”

Li Ran slowly explained: "The pharmacy is only a branch of the medicine pavilion, they are only responsible for selling, but they never refine, and the establishment of the pharmacy is also allowed by the imperial court, secondly, it is rumored that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, many prescriptions have disappeared, in order to find the prescription, they agreed to the imperial court's promise, so today's medicine pavilion has begun to let the medicine shop appear for the medicine pavilion." ”

The river breeze was blowing, Lu Chen took a sip of hot tea to warm up, nodded, and suddenly asked, "Why is there only an alchemist in Sichuan?" ”

This is actually something that Lu Chen has always been unable to understand, no matter what profession it is, it has appeared in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and only the profession of alchemist is only in Sichuan, can the medicine pavilion really control all the alchemists?

Controlling a class with one power?

Lu Chen didn't dare to imagine how powerful this force needed.

Li Ran shook his head, glanced around, and said, "Does Childe know why Sichuan is famous?" ”

Lu Chen thought about it.

Shook his head.

Indeed, he didn't know anything about this place at all, because he hadn't been to Sichuan himself, let alone known about Sichuan, except for the difficult roads and difficult access, he really couldn't think of anything, but this must not be what Li Ran wanted to express.

Li Ran smiled.

He whispered: "The north is bitterly cold, the south is humid, the Central Plains is the best, and Sichuan is better than Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou is the southernmost one, what prevails is the art of witchcraft and ghosts, we also have medicine and pills in Sichuan, the Central Plains is like avoiding ghosts and monsters, but there are also curious people, avoiding such as women's surnames witchcraft, men believe in gods and ghosts, and there are also people who try to live forever and live with the sky, such as Emperor Qin, Han Wu." ”

"Oh!"

Lu Chen was surprised, and suddenly remembered Pan Wentao in Jiaozhou, according to Li Ran, didn't Pan Wentao get witchcraft, maybe something similar to Taoism, I don't know what it is.

There shouldn't be that kind of setting that you can curse people to death by pricking a puppet with a needle!

Lu Chen still asked with some concern, "What exactly is the Witch Gu Divine Ghost Technique?" Is it really as weird as the legend suggests? ”

Li Ran shook his head and said: "No one has seen the theory of witches and ghosts so far, and I don't know at this time, but I heard that this technique seems to be said to curse people in Nanyue, and it is prudent to avoid it." ”

Lu Chen nodded.

I always feel that Pan Wentao is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and the theory of gods and ghosts has a place in the entire ancient world, and it may also appear in the game setting, but it will never be said that the sky will enter the earth, otherwise, Yu Ji will not die.

He suddenly thought, "According to what you said, the act of dispensing medicine is just the curse of restraining witch Gu?" Or is it a cure for the pain of witchcraft? ”

One is to curse the sickness, and the other is to cure the sickness.

If the inference is correct, it should be like this, and the dispensing seems to have developed rapidly, surpassing the magic of witchcraft all of a sudden, perhaps because Xu Fu and the others advanced.

Li Ran nodded and said: "No, it is rumored that their origins are just to save the world, but the research direction is different, which leads to the two going to different paths, witch Gu is biased towards the divine theory, and the dispensing medicine is biased towards the body theory, but, the witch Gu technique is too mysterious, so that no one believes it, and then derives two sets of opposing actions to treat people and curse people." ”

He shook his head and sighed, "Hey! Although the starting point is good, after all, the sword goes sideways and goes astray. ”

Lu Chen nodded.

The act of hanging pots to help the world was a grand event in ancient times.

It's just that not every grand event can be rewarded, for example, the tragedy of Hua Tuo is really a little difficult to say, but Hua Tuo is now in his own territory, how can this be said?

Lu Chen was a little incomprehensible.

Aren't some fates according to the course of history?

I thought about it.

Isn't the Medicine Pavilion something that doesn't belong to history?

Li Ran smiled and said: "Haha, if the son wants to go to see the Medicine Pavilion, he can go to Chengdu City before September 9, where a Medicine Pavilion event will be held, I heard that there are quite a few participants every year, and the jackpot of the event is extremely valuable, I remember that last year Toukui got a high-grade pill reward, think about it, this year's reward should not be bad." ”

Lu Chen nodded.

He thanked him: "Uncle Xie Li reminds." ”

Li Ran smiled.

Lu Chen sat alone in the bow of the boat, looking at the moonlight sprinkled down, shining in the water, sparkling in the microwave, and at this time, a figure appeared behind him, Lu Chen glanced back, only to see a thin sword stabbing at him.

"Death to the thief!"

Boom!

Lu Chen dodged sideways.

Hearing a soft voice, he immediately saw clearly that the opposite side was black-clothed and masked, holding a blue and white sword in his hand, and his move was fatal.

"Look for death!"

Lu Chen took out a sharp sword in his hand, and with a bang, he blocked the opponent's thin sword, after suffering the loss last time, he also purchased an ordinary long sword for self-defense, the swordsmen are inclined to be light and agile, and in the face of the swordsman's attack, the heavy halberd lost its inferiority.

The other party saw that the sneak attack was unsuccessful.

When he was about to escape immediately, Lu Chen snorted, dodged to block the other party's retreat, and sneered: "Don't worry when you come, follow Lao Tzu all the way, you should always show your identity and leave!" ”

Lu Chen was a little curious in his heart, since he jumped into the river and was rescued, he met Li Ran, who was robbed by Jiang bandits, it was he who rescued him, and stayed in Jiangzhou to treat himself, it was already two months later when he woke up, and later when Li Ran transported the goods and was about to return to Shuchuan, Lu Chen also noticed that there was a faint tail behind him.

His words made the other party obviously very surprised.

"Thief! Trying to catch me, delusional. The other party held a thin sword, stared at Lu Chen, and then glanced around at the river behind him, and shouted in a slightly hoarse angry voice.

Lu Chen smiled faintly, glanced at the other party with a slight look, the figure is not bad, bumpy and shapely, if it weren't for the player, it should be a good beauty.

Lu Chen looked at it for a while and asked, "Are you a player?" ”

When the other party saw Lu Chen's appearance of tasting himself, he immediately clenched the thin sword, and then glanced back, and the turbulent river suddenly trembled slightly.

But the thief in front of her was pressing step by step, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Thief, I fought with you!" ”

The thin sword stabbed at Lu Chen.

And then.

Clank.

Rapier falls on the ship's plank.

Lu Chen tried to capture the other party, and suddenly, he grabbed and threw it out with one move, bang!

Dumped by the other party.

"Humph! You've been fooled! ”

A dagger appeared in the opponent's hand, stabbing Lu Chen's abdomen with a stabbing sound.

Sting!

The dagger was snatched by Lu Chen's bare hands.

"Phew!"

The stinging pain of the dagger cutting through his palm made Lu Chen gasp, he frowned slightly, glanced at the man in black, and said coldly: "You are really not an alien." ”

Before the other party could react, Lu Chen had already grabbed her shoulder.

The man in black on the opposite side shuddered, and before he could completely grasp her with Lu Chen's arm, he suddenly shook it off, turned around and said, "You want to catch me!" Delusion! Even if you die, it won't be cheap, you thief! Hum! ”

Without a trace of hesitation, he jumped into the water of the Yangtze River.

That's when it happened.

Li Ran suddenly rushed out and shouted, "Qin'er, don't do stupid things!" ”

Impulsive!

Lu Chen finally pulled the man in black up, snapped, and slapped him in the face.

The whole process.

Amazed.

"What's going on!" I said silently in my heart.
