Chapter 22: Qiantang
A few days later, Shang Biao walked into Qiantang County with Zhao Guizhen's face.
He didn't go to Dongting Lake to deliver the Dragon Maiden's letter of help according to the main quest.
If that's right, there must be other actors who have also completed the main quest one at this time.
The reason why he relied on the good soul clone and was not chased and killed by Jinghe Longjun does not mean that others also have such good luck.
Therefore, the road to Dongting Lake will definitely not be peaceful, especially under the premise that he is in big trouble, it is even more difficult to see Dongting Lake Longjun alive.
On the contrary, although the Qiantang River Longjun side deviates from Dongting Lake, it is also related to the main quest three.
Bypassing Dongting Lake Dragon Monarch, you can't immediately complete the main quest two. But handing over the dragon girl's reverse scales to the hands of the dragon monarch of the Qiantang River also has the same effect.
When the inquiry of Dongting Lake Longjun came, he handed over the letter, the difference was only that the task was completed sooner or later, but it avoided a lot of trouble.
It's just that it's not easy to meet Qiantang Jiang Longjun. According to Shang Biao's inquiries on the road, this person violated the rules of heaven and was punished to guard the sea eye in Qiantang, and the idlers could not get close to his Dragon Palace.
"Sugar gourd, sweet and sour sugar gourd~"
"The best Shu brocade, come and take a look~"
"Spring tea ~ cheap sale! Spring tea ~ cheap sale! Spring tea ~ cheap, selling! ”
......
Unlike the desertion outside the city, as soon as Shang Biao entered the city, he was interrupted by the sound of disturbing cries. Especially the one who sells tea is even louder and louder to buzz his ears.
Selling a tea can also sell an urgent eye, I really don't know where it came from.
Shang Biao took two quick steps, away from the tea vendor.
However, as soon as I walked far, I was attracted by the tempting aroma of rice to a tavern called 'Qiantang Chun'.
The gluttonous worms in his stomach were hooked, Shang Biao simply walked in, and under the warm hospitality of the tavern guys, he ordered a few plates of local specialty side dishes to eat and drink.
"Bang~"
Just when Shang Biao was in a big chunk, a loud gong sounded outside the window. Then he heard the tea seller's loud voice, chanting something.
"Master Ma spent a lot of money to save his son~"
"Bang!"
"Anyone who has the ability to wake up Ma Gongzi, the bounty is a thousand taels~"
"Bang, Bang!"
As the loud voice drifted by, the diners in the restaurant also began to talk.
"Ma Gongzi hasn't woken up yet, it seems that Dr. Sun also has a disease that can't be cured!"
"I heard that Ma Gongzi is evil. Doctor Sun can only cure diseases, but he can't exorcise evil spirits, so of course he can't cure them. ”
"Since the Ma family has won the favor of the Dragon King, the business is booming, and there are a lot of people in Qiantang County who are red-eyed, maybe it is which one has invited a master to do it, and wants to make Ma Bancheng ruined!"
"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, but Ma Gongzi is a good person, I hope he can survive this catastrophe."
Shang Biao listened to the conversation of a table of diners not far away, his eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and walked over.
"What does the favor of the Dragon Lord mean?"
An invisible light shot out of Shang Biao's eyes, bewildering the diner who talked the most.
"Ma Bancheng once met the Dragon King in the Qiantang River a few decades ago, got the treasure of the Dragon Palace, and made a fortune since then."
"Does anyone know what Dragon Palace treasure he had?"
"No, but Ma Bancheng spends a lot of money every year to renovate it into the Dragon King Temple, and everyone knows that he must have been rewarded by the Dragon King Lord."
Shang Biao retracted his spiritual charm and walked back to his seat.
"It seems that if you want to see Qiantang Jianglongjun, you have to start with this Ma Bancheng."
After eating up a few side dishes and asking the location of the Ma family from the man's mouth, Shang Biao came directly to the door.
At this time, the Ma Mansion was very lively, thanks to the publicity of the loud tea seller, there were many people in front of the door who wanted to come to fish in troubled waters to get the thousand taels of bounty.
Several servants of the horse house kept picking people in and sending people out.
However, the way of giving it away is different, some are sent out of the house as a gift, and some are directly thrown out violently.
"This Taoist master, dare to ask, but he is here to treat my young master, please follow me into the house."
Thanks to the appearance of Zhao Guizhen's immortal wind bones, Shang Biao was discovered by a sharp-eyed Mafu servant as soon as he arrived.
In this way, he was spared a tongue, and Shang Biao did not open his mouth to explain, and followed the servant into the Ma Mansion.
The reason why there is no need to be violent is also because Shang Biao heard that the Qiantang Lake Dragon Monarch is a person with clear grievances, in case he makes Ma Bancheng half-dead and annoys the other party, it will be more than worth the loss.
However, when he entered the Ma Mansion, he did not see the Ma Gongzi for the first time, but was led to the hospitality lobby to show his ability to see the patient.
The servant introduced a few words, and after serving tea to Shang Biao, he saw a fat old man with a goatee appear from behind the lobby, and took the initiative to leave.
"Dao Elder is merciful, dare to ask where Dao Elder is practicing?"
Shang Biao didn't answer the housekeeper's question, but directly used the water charm skill on the tea beside him.
"Drink it, and you'll know if I can save people."
The fat old man was also a happy man, walked up to Shang Biao, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
The rune water took effect, and the old man almost groaned with comfort as if he had drunk a bowl of iced sour plum soup on a dog day.
An old dark illness seemed to be cured without medicine, making him feel a few years younger.
There is a disease to cure the disease, there is no disease to maintain health, this bowl of rune water, more effective than what to say. directly made the fat old man's attitude take a ninety degree turn, and he almost didn't offer Shang Biao.
"Dao Chief, please, please be merciful and save my young master!"
The fat old man bent his knees and pleaded. It turned out to be the housekeeper of the Ma Mansion, not the Ma Bancheng that Shang Biao was looking for.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, don't lead the way."
Shang Biao pinched the shelf and said indifferently.
The fat butler's wrinkled old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he got up and trotted to introduce Shang Biao into the inner hall.
After walking through the pavilions and water pavilions with nine bends and eighteen bends, all kinds of exquisite rockery and strange stones show the elegance of the owner's home.
"Knock knock!"
The old butler stopped in front of a door carved of mahogany and knocked respectfully.
"Resentment, sure enough, this kind of rich and noble family is the easiest to contaminate these things."
As soon as Shang Biao approached the room, he felt a faint resentment. knew that this Ma Gongzi was indeed not sick, but was entangled by ghosts.
This is also a common problem of large families, maybe there are several servant bones buried under the rockery that Shang Biao passed by just now, and the maids who were sunk in the pond are also indispensable.
The carved mahogany door creaked open, and a woman with an extraordinary appearance rushed out of the room.
"Steward Jia, but I have found a master who treats Lin'er."
The woman at the head asked eagerly, she was about forty years old, the oldest and most ordinary-looking of a group of women, not even as good as those handmaids.
"Big lady, the son is saved."
The fat butler surnamed Jia stepped out of the door and exposed Shang Biao behind him.
I have to say that people like to look at the surface. Just Shang Biao's current appearance made the eldest lady believe in seven points.
"Michicho~"
"Needless to say, let's see the patient first."
Shang Biao interrupted the greeting of the eldest lady and strode into the house.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and on the bed lay a sick, thin young man.
The man was pale, his eyes were sunken, and his head was covered with silver needles. Anyone who looks at it will feel that this person's life is short, and he is afraid that he is forcibly hanging himself through acupuncture.
