After crossing the Yinping Bridge, we soon arrived in Wenzhou.

This trip was to go to a banquet, not to run errands, so the two decided to rest in Wenzhou for one night before leaving.

Wenzhou is located in the West Qinling Mountains, the South Qinling Mountains, the terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, the climate has no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter, and is known as the city of "Longshang Jiangnan".

The water source is also very abundant, there are "two rivers and eight rivers": Bailong River, Baishui River, Longba River, Yangtang River, Malian River, Zhonglu River, Baima River, Danbao River, Rangshui River, Xiaotuanyu River.

However, it is located in a remote area, the terrain is not conducive to farming, although there are many water sources, it is inconvenient for shipping, so the development is not good, and the size of the city is only half of Liuzhou City.

However, although Wenzhou is not prosperous, it has a special product and is very famous.

"Huh?" Liu Zheng screamed in surprise.

The chubby, round, black and white, naïve guy in front of him, isn't he a beast sitting in prison?

"What's the matter with the little friend? Hey, isn't that the iron-eating beast recorded in ancient books? The lonely mulberry was also surprised.

At a stall on the side of the street, two men dressed as hunters were looking at a panda with a big tie, and another man was hawking.

"Let's take a look, the ancient Chiyou mount that I just caught is an iron-eating beast, the man has eaten to nourish the kidney and strengthen the yang, and the woman has eaten to nourish the yin and nourish the qi."

The panda stared at the little round eyes and tilted his head to look at the hawker, as if wondering, did I have so many functions?

"The ancient books have never said that the iron-eating beast has this medicinal effect, could it be that the ancient books are incomplete?" Lone Mulberry wondered.

"Haha, the Taoist chief doesn't know the words of these people yet, no matter what insects, fish, birds, beasts, or flowers, plants, mushrooms, or mushrooms you have, you sell them under the banner of nourishing yin and aphrodisiac." Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"I see, it's a poor road and a lonely person." Lonely mulberry said suddenly.

He looked at the stupid panda and thought about it and decided to buy it and release it.

In the real world, the beast can only be seen but not touched, and it is not bad to save it and pick up a few in this world.

Liu Zheng was about to step forward to ask, but a group of men dressed as dart masters took the lead.

"Brother, how do you sell this iron-eating beast?" The head dart master asked.

"This big brother, my iron-eating beast only sells one piece, and one will sell it for fifty taels of silver." The hawker replied.

"Fifty taels! You're a beast that's more expensive than the girl in Tanchun Courtyard, isn't it a mother? The dart master teased.

The dart masters behind him laughed when they heard such a vulgar joke.

"This uncle, I'm not asking for a sky-high price. This iron-eating beast is scarce in number, and it is mostly active in the deep mountains and old forests, and it may not be encountered once a year on weekdays. Moreover, this beast is powerful and thick-skinned, and ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt it, so it's extremely difficult to catch. In order to catch this live one, both of my brothers were severely bitten and injured, and they are still lying at home. These fifty taels of silver are definitely not much. The hunter who sold shouted Qu Dao.

"Even so, fifty taels is still expensive. One price, forty-five taels, you still have to kill. The dart master thought for a moment.

The hawker looked at the other two, who looked at each other and nodded.

There are many people who see these days, few people who buy, and as soon as they ask the price, they turn around and leave, and the family is still waiting for the money, and it is not a way to drag it on, so make less and make less.

"That's it, just make the uncle a friend, forty-five taels of silver, and the uncle will take it." The hawker pretended to be in pain.

"Okay, uncle, I like refreshing sellers like you." The dart master put his hand into his arms and was about to take out the silver, but someone next to him stuck a bar.

"I'll give fifty taels." Liu Zheng stepped forward and said.

If the dart master bought it back as a plaything, he wouldn't interfere.

But he asked the Orion to kill him, obviously preparing to use it to replenish the kidneys and aphrodisiac, so let him buy it himself and release it.

"You don't know anything, you need to know that there is a reason in the world to come first and come first." The dart master frowned.

"I saw that this iron-eating beast was so cute and cute that I couldn't bear to eat it. If you buy it back and make it a plaything, if you buy it to make a dish, you have to take the liberty of meddling. Liu Zheng hugged his fists.

"Hmph, it's only natural that people eat their prey. There are so many hares and wild boars in the back kitchen of the restaurant, but I don't see you to save them, pretending to be merciful. The dart master said disdainfully.

"Your Excellency is right. It's better to do this, these five taels of silver invite you to drink, and how about making an apology. He took five taels of silver from his money bag and handed it to the dart master.

"You know the etiquette of this guy, but uncle, I have a sore back recently, so I want this iron-eating beast to take supplements. You'd better get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude. The dart master said with a glare.

Liu Zheng frowned, if he wants to say that he is definitely not afraid, this group of dart masters looks at the skills, and they don't need Gu Sangzi to do it, he can send it alone.

It's just that the dart master is right, there is no wildlife protection law in this world, and there is no difference between pandas and hares and wild boars.

His eyes rolled, and an idea suddenly came to him.

"I don't know if Your Excellency knows about Wudang Mountain Zhang Zhenren." Liu Zheng said suddenly.

"Zhang Zhenren's martial arts are world-famous, no one in the world knows, what are you talking about?" The dart master wondered.

"To tell you the truth, the two of us were invited to celebrate Zhang Zhenren's birthday, and I don't know what gift to bring. Look at this iron-eating beast is also a rare and exotic beast, an auspicious thing, just buy it as a gift, and please your honor. He arched.

"You were invited to celebrate Zhang Zhenren's birthday?" Although the dart master did not directly express disbelief, his tone was full of suspicion.

"Senior, please borrow an invitation." Liu Zheng said to the lonely mulberry.

Gu Sangzi took the invitation to Liu Zheng, and he handed it to the dart master.

The dart master took it cautiously, then opened it and looked at it twice, his face changed, and he handed it back respectfully.

"It turned out to be a Wudang guest, a villain who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai. This iron-eating beast was bought by the villain and given to the two as a gift, which can be regarded as a villain to offer a little heart to Zhang Zhenren's 100th birthday. The dart master bent down slightly.

Just kidding, he can see it clearly, the invitation is written on Xuan Mingzi's friend, what is the identity of Zhang Zhenren's old friend, how can he be provoked by a little dart master.

"It's not necessary, we just pay for it." Liu Zheng declined.

The dart master was just making a gesture, and when he saw Liu Zheng refusing, he immediately took his leave.

He counted fifty taels of silver and gave it to Orion, who accepted it with joy, and then said, "Do you need me to help carry it to the car?" ”

"Thanks, no need." Liu Zheng stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the tough cowhide rope fell off in response.

"Don't be a guest, this beast has a violent personality, and if you release it, you will be hurt... Belch. Orion was just frightened and wanted to warn, but he saw the irascible and hurtful beast in his mouth covering his eyes with its claws, and did not dare to look up.

"It's... Why did this guy suddenly change sex? Orion muttered.

Nonsense, I look a little stupid, and I'm not really stupid, the coercion on this person is so terrifying, of course I choose to sell cute, if the panda can speak human words, it will definitely answer him like this.

Liu Zheng grabbed its big fat face and rubbed it for a while, and it actually licked his palm a few times flatteringly, which looked more licking than licking a dog.

"Is this cart yours?" Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, yes, guests can take it if they want to use it." Orion was busy.

"Thank you then, Dao Chief, let's go." He greeted Gu Sangzi Dao.

Liu Zheng picked up the panda in one hand, put it on the cart, and then pushed the cart and the lonely mulberry towards the inn, leaving behind the stunned hunters and passers-by.

"Guest officer, it's not that I don't want to do your business, it's just that this beast really didn't just let it in." The innkeeper said with a bitter face.

"So how do you let it in?" He asked earnestly.

"At the very least, we'll have to tie it up." The shopkeeper hesitated.

"Oh, that's easy to say." Liu Zheng took out the cowhide rope and gestured to the panda.

The panda's head was tilted, and although it couldn't speak, it could be seen that it was obviously resisting.

"Come here." His tone was flat, but the panda immediately pricked up his ears in horror, and then obediently stretched out his head and paws.

Although he was not worried that it would dare to rebel, in order to dispel the shopkeeper's concerns, Liu Zheng still tied it up solidly.

The shopkeeper was shocked to see that the former Chiyou mount had become a domestic pet, but there was much less fear in his heart.

"This iron-eating beast is very tame." He complimented.

"Ah, I just bought it." Liu Zheng replied.

"This, then why is this iron-eating beast so obedient?" The shopkeeper wondered.

"Maybe I'm particularly relatable?" He tilted his head, then smiled at the panda with what he thought was kind.

Then the iron-eating beast, which was peeking around, immediately fell silent, burying its head in its claws.

"Look, isn't it very relatable?" Liu Zheng smiled at the shopkeeper.

"Uh... Indeed, indeed. I don't know if I want to prepare some food for it? The shopkeeper said reluctantly.

"Prepare some fresh bamboo shoots, and the money will be counted together when the time comes." He replied.

"Okay. Well, ask the guest officer to help move your iron-eating beast to the backyard, and it's a little more troublesome to stay away from the stables. The shopkeeper pleaded.

"No problem." Liu Zheng complied with the words.

Not to mention, he once again showed the same amount of food as a rice bowl, and the Iron Eater ate all the fresh bamboo shoots in the inn.

The next day, the two continued their journey with the iron-eating beast.

"Xiaoyou really plans to give this iron-eating beast to Zhang Zhenren as a congratulatory gift?" Lone Mulberry said with a strange expression.

"If you send it back to the mountain, you may be arrested again, so it's better to send it to Wudang Mountain, and the Wudang Taoist priest at least doesn't need to tonify the kidneys and strengthen the yang." Liu Zheng said as a matter of course.

"That's true, but isn't it strange to give a beast as a gift?" Even if the lonely mulberry doesn't understand the world, it feels wrong.

"Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate. What's more, we are still sending foreign beasts thousands of miles, and this affection is even heavier. And you see, Dao Chief, this iron-eating beast is black and white, and it is the way of Yin and Yang in Taiji, and it is very suitable to give it to the head of Wudang. "He's serious.

was fooled by him like this, and Gu Sangzi also felt that it was indeed feasible to send iron beasts to eat, and this product did look cute and cute, and he wouldn't be annoyed if he wanted to come to Zhang Zhenren.
