Chapter 119: Talking to the 'Immortals' (2-in-1)
Jiang Cang's thoughts fell, and he left from the outside of the forest, and rushed all the way to the village.
Not surprisingly, the task process changed again, as I thought, it was to introduce Sun Dianjia to Hua Tuo, and then the task was over, leaving only 'relics to make friends and go to the East China Sea to find immortals.' ’
That's not much to say.
Soldiers tidy up things.
Jiang Cang had the idea of finishing the funeral, so he took Sun Dianjia and the middle-aged man to a courtyard and found Hua Tuo, who was practicing five poultry operas in the courtyard.
"General." When Hua Tuo saw Jiang Cang and the others coming, he first saluted Jiang Cang, and then looked at the middle-aged man next to Jiang Cang and said with a smile: "Guanglin also knows the general?" ”
"This... It's a long story.." The middle-aged man shook his head, looked at Jiang Cang again, and when he saw Jiang Cang nodding, he said one after another: "The Yuan incarnation is here, I don't know anything." And an hour ago, on the way out of the city with Sundian's family, we encountered a group of robbers. But fortunately, I met the general .."
The middle-aged man said that it was 1510 who told Hua Tuo about the 'mountain bandits'.
Especially when the middle-aged narrated, just looking at Hua Tuo's appearance of frowning sometimes and sometimes looking at Jiang Cang, he knew that in addition to knowing medical skills, middle-aged even storytelling was a first-class level.
He said, not only can he depict the scene at that time, but also make Hua Tuo feel the invincible power of Jiang Cang's horse thieves!
So that after the middle-aged words, although Hua Tuo did not see it, he had already painted the miserable and bloody scene of the forest road with corpses all over the field and the separation of human heads, and he could even imagine that this scene was all from the hands of this general!
Including Sun Dianjia, he also revisited it under the middle-aged story, and then his heart was agitated, he thanked Jiang Cang, and flattered and shouted: "The general is brave!" ”
"This is.." Hua Tuo was called back to his senses by the sudden shout, and when he saw that Sun Dianjia was elegant, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance on his body, he felt that this person should be 'together.' ’
"This is Kaiyang's Sun shop.." Jiang Cang heard Hua Tuo speak, it was a logical introduction to each other, and when it was over, he said again: "When Sun Dian was in Xiapi City, he heard that Yuanhua's medical skills were excellent, and he specially asked Jiang Cang to introduce him on his behalf. ”
Jiang Cang said this, thought about it, and prepared to leave under the guise of leaving, and then take the immortal medicine out of the box, and then explain the ins and outs, and quickly make things clear.
But Hua Tuo heard that Jiang Cang and Sun Dianjia knew each other, and knew that Jiang Cang had saved his friend, so he didn't say a word, so he chatted with Sun Dianjia and introduced each other.
Jiang Cang listened to it for a while, and found that the two of them talked about medical skills in a few sentences, and started to discuss it with the middle-aged man, so he didn't have to say anything at all.
As described.
It's like meeting a martial artist, a martial artist, or any master, this is all martial arts, and there is a kind of sympathy for each other innately, and it will be as natural as fighting in three or two sentences.
That's just right.
This matter is over, and there is less trouble in taking the elixir.
Jiang Cang saw that the three of them were chatting happily, so he said goodbye and left, ready to pack his luggage, go back to Kaiyang, and say to Zhang Xing, and he was ready to go to the East China Sea alone.
Because of the distance of thousands of kilometers, the round-trip time is at least a few months.
He is a city general and a big official in Kaiyang, so he can't jump around without saying a word.
At least give someone a word.
Is it annual leave that not only stays at work, but also pays to travel? ’
Jiang Cang thought about it, as if what he was about to do seemed to be such a comfortable thing.
'Click'
Get out of the village.
Jiang Cang didn't tell Hua Tuo and the others that he was leaving, but the soldiers were on the way back to the village, so they obeyed their orders.
Now they had already packed their belongings and stood outside the village waiting for them.
And there were several people carrying shelves, on which were carrying a dozen large packages, which were soaked in blood, and the outlines of human heads and faces were printed on the cloth bags.
When the village chief who saw him off next to him saw it, he knew that it was filled with 'military merits', so he was far away from this shelf.
But when he saw Jiang Cang coming out, he took a few steps forward with a smile and asked, "The general wants to go back to Kaiyang?" ”
As he spoke, he looked into the village and found that Hua Tuo and the others had not sent it, but many people in the village looked here, but they didn't dare to approach, glanced at it, smiled and walked away.
"It's been a few days." Jiang Cang waved his hand, and a soldier next to him took out a small leather bag, which was the gold and silver obtained by the mountain bandits.
Reached out again and shook it.
Jiang Cang probably filled it with about the same amount of money, so he handed it to the village chief and said, "Talk about it." The old man didn't want to refuse. ”
The soldiers near 'Da' also held their hands, although they didn't speak, but their eyes were all looking at the village chief.
When the village chief saw it, he had to accept it if he didn't accept it, otherwise he wouldn't give them the face of the Kaiyang Army.
"Thank you, General.." The village chief took it, his expression was a wry smile, because he felt that the general was too polite, and he was embarrassed to be polite.
"March." Jiang Cang returned the salute, didn't say anything, jumped on the paper horse next to him, and set off.
Then follow Jiang Cang and the soldiers away.
Hua Tuo and the others in the village knew that Jiang Cang was gone, and they also wanted to catch up with Jiang Cang and the others to send them off, and they deliberately put down the medical theory they were discussing and hurriedly ran out of the village.
But alas.
At a glance, except for a wild meadow in front of them, Jiang Cang and the others could no longer be seen.
"This.." Hua Tuo sighed when he saw this, so he could only teach Sun to be the shopkeeper.
When Sundian's family returns to Kaiyang in a few days, he can still have a reason to go to Kaiyang with a 'friend as a guest', and say that he didn't say goodbye this time.
And at the same time.
Three miles away by the river.
Jiang Cang is like going back and forth.
He led the soldiers along the river first, and when he came across a fishing boat, he stopped it, boarded a few people, and then looked for more and more fishing boats.
Follow the waterway all the way back.
It's been another bumpy ride.
Wait until the afternoon of the sixth day.
About three or four o'clock.
Jiang Cangcai took the tired soldiers back to Kaiyang City together.
Fortunately, in this cold weather, the 'military merits' are well preserved, they are not rotten, and they are not too bad smelling, which is a good thing, and the soldiers were not tortured by this sense of smell when they ate dry food on the road.
But as soon as they arrived outside Kaiyang City, the soldiers raised their heads and chests again, holding the weapons in their hands very tightly, and the central shelf was held very steadily, looking energetic.
"The city will come back." The people who recognized Jiang Cang nearby, as well as the soldiers at the city gate, when they saw Jiang Cang's declining soldiers, who were also their friends and relatives, came back, it was a cheer, and their eyes were also aimed at the soldiers who were carrying them up.
"It's the mountain bandits who killed them all.."
They saw that the shelves were full of twelve large packages, the blood stains on them were dry, and there were more than 100 marks on the outline of the face, and then compared the size of the human head and the size of the cloth bag, and found that there were at least 200 heads inside!
It is estimated that the city general will go on this expedition and take the entire mountain bandit nest!
And it was also at this time.
Zhang Xing, who got the report of the Kaiyang spies in advance, also went out of the town, and in the greetings around the city gate, he waved his hand to Jiang Cang in front of the soldiers, laughed and apologized,
"Brother! Xingcai got the letter, so he put down what he was doing and came to greet his brother. But I didn't expect it.. I didn't expect Xing to be late again.."
Zhang Xing said, it is difficult to apologize, and he has to make a big gift to make amends, because Jiang Cang is a meritorious service for Kaiyang Taiping, but as a 'Kaiyang Order', not only did he not help, but he even greeted the heroes of Kaiyang, what is this called?
Especially when he was full of courtesies, he felt that Jiang Cang was his brother, how could he let his brother wait?
He couldn't get away with it, he felt that he was too useless.
But when Jiang Cang saw it, he stepped forward to help him, and said squarely: "Zhang County's order has government affairs, which is a matter of Kaiyang stability." Now, because of the cang, he will put down government affairs to greet him, and he will let the listeners, seeers, and smell them, and laugh at them."
"Hahaha.. What the city will say is." The people nearby were smart, and when they heard the meaning of Jiang Cangyuanchang, they interjected and made a joke.
But after a short while, cheers and laughter resounded outside the city, and they all envied this brotherhood.
But Zhang Xing saw that his brother took care of himself so much and helped him, so he was even more reluctant to go, and he had to say something more.
When Jiang Cang saw it, he pulled his arm and laughed quietly: "Uncle Huai is angry." Go home and drink. My brother has been running for half a month, for business, I haven't drunk a drop of wine, don't let me stand anymore, and the soldiers behind me can't stand anymore. ”
"Good!" Zhang Xing looked at the returning soldiers, and saw that although they were straight, they could not hide their tired looks, so he suddenly stopped talking.
After the arrangements were completed, he invited his brother back to the mansion and held a banquet to wash the dust.
The dishes have five flavors, and the wine has passed three rounds.
This matter is over, just wait for the merit.
But Jiang Cang thought about going to Penglai by himself, and thought that Kaiyang was now stable, so he said to Zhang Xing, who was a little drunk: "Jiang Cang is going to travel for a while."
"Brother is leaving?!" As soon as Zhang Xing heard that Jiang Cang was leaving, his heart was tight, and he was half awake from the wine, so he hurriedly stood up and held his hand and said, "Brother.. But because it's too late... I'm angry with my brother.."
"What's so angry about that?" Jiang Cang saw that Zhang Xing was involved in this matter again, but pointed to the east, and said directly: "I am going to go to the East China Sea, and I will come back in a short time." The city will keep the position for me, and I will keep it first. Probably reassuring? ”
"Okay.." Zhang Xing laughed again, stopped drinking, and understood that his brother was really going out to play.
So what's the point, since my brother wants to go out and play, this must be 'paid to stay on duty.' ’
And the banquet was over that day.
Jiang Cang set out from Kaiyang and headed for the East China Sea.
As time passes.
Two days later.
Jiang Cangce came to the seaside, and as soon as the paper horse was collected, he bought a fishing boat nearby.
Walking on your own, you don't need a boatman.
Because the seaside where he is currently located is only more than 100 miles away from the target location, and it is no longer more than 1,000 miles away.
If you guessed correctly, you should be looking for a 'moving target.' ’
In that case, the fewer Witnesses the better, so as not to interfere with one's mission and sabotage one's dealings with one's "lovers."
Especially in the world of the 90s, I followed a few young people to row boats, swim and swim, familiar with the water, hundreds of miles away, even if I fell into the water, with my own physique and balance, I can swim back safely, and exercise my strength by the way.
From this point of view.
Everything is ready, wait for everything to fall through.
Jiang Cang set up a small boat and left, but when he was at sea, he took out the 'aura cup, immortal medicine, and relic elixir porcelain bottle'.
Subsequently, the boxing was also saved, and it was all used for paddling and floating.
Especially since I still have task guidance, I am not afraid of getting lost, that is, I go to the east, a straight line.
The oars beat the waves and sailed in the vast sea.
Occasionally, you can catch a fish, a small pot shelf, gravel and sand spread on the boat, grilled and stewed.
And right in the beginning of fun, then boring boating.
A day later.
The wind is calm, and the blue waves are cloudless.
Jiang Cang followed the prompt, and on this endless sea, he saw a lonely island in the distance, which was the goal of the mission.
It's close.
Jiang Goshawk looked over and saw that the area of the small island was about three or four hundred meters in radius, and the island behind the beach was overgrown with weeds, and more than a dozen trees were scattered around.
'Wow'
Push harder.
The last 100 meters passed.
Jiang Cang got off the boat, and 'Shasha' stepped on the sand soaked by the sea, landed on the island, and found that there was a person cross-legged next to the tree on the island a hundred meters away.
But I didn't see him before!
It's just that now that I see him, Jiang Cang finds that he is the task point, and he is also the person in the friendship mission. ’
Look again.
Jiang Cang also saw that although his appearance was ordinary, he couldn't tell how old he was, but he could say that he was twenty, thirty, and forty.
Especially when he was still wearing clothes like Taoist robes, with a long beard on his chin, and a weather-covered Xiao Se, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with saying that he was more than fifty.
Time.
Jiang Cang saw that this person was strange, so he thought for a few breaths, and also wanted to guess who he was based on the information he knew about the Eastern Han Dynasty.
But at this time.
The Taoist opened his eyes, stepped out, and a hundred meters passed in an instant, standing ten meters in front of Jiang Cang.
But Jiang Cang didn't make any moves, because in his heart, first, he didn't have any sense of danger, and second, he really didn't react, he didn't expect this person's spell or light skill to be so high!
But.
According to the task prompt, since this person is a 'mission friend', there is no danger to himself.
This, in turn, is an opportunity for itself!
Meantime.
After seeing that Jiang Cang did not have any abnormal movements, and saw that Jiang Cang was innocent, but had a bleak ranger temperament and righteousness, he smiled and took the lead in speaking, his voice was like that of a middle-aged man,
"Poor Dao Zuoci. I know where you came from. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Jiang Cang's pocket: "Poor Dao has sensed the relics of the pre-Qin Fangshi and smelled the breath left behind by the elixir. If the poor road is not mistaken, this thing is a porcelain bottle containing the elixir? And you came here, but as soon as you heard about Penglai Immortal Island, you want to go east to find Immortal Island to solve the mystery of this elixir? ”
"Straight down. I've heard.." Jiang Cang saw that Zuo Ci said it, it was in accordance with the task, and it was said in accordance with the words, in and out of the words, it was nothing more than the rumors about Penglai Xiandao in the historical records.
At the end, he took out the bottle of elixir that was attached to Yuan Neng in the previous world and handed it to Zuo Ci.
"Let's take a look."
Jiang Cang held a porcelain vase in both hands, and the courtesy was weekly, like a scholar.
"It's a pre-Qin thing." Zuo Ci first returned the salute and made a compilation, and then stretched out his hand, and the bottle floated into his palm in the air, looked at it for a few breaths, and said: "But there are no poor Dao Dan furnaces and magic weapons on this island. If you want to investigate this immortal thing, it is difficult. And if you don't worry. Would you like to go to Penglai with the poor road? That's my dojo. ”
"Jiang Cang is willing to go together." Jiang Cang didn't say anything else, because the rest of his Yuan Thing was promoted, and it was estimated that he would fall there.
And Zuo Ci saw that Jiang Cang agreed, and was afraid that Jiang Cang would feel that he would 'swallow' his things, so he smiled and returned the salute, and said: "Poor Dao once looked at the "Taiping Yaoshu" and its "yin and yang" said, which was recorded in the "Book of Changes" of the previous dynasty. As the saying goes, 'one yin and one yang is the way.' The two sides of the yin and yang body hide each other, and the sense of each other is replaced, and the image cannot be fixed by clinging to the same. Although the two have no fixed image, they change with the Tao, and the upper can be the Tao, and the lower can also be the instrument..'"
Zuo Ci said, it is a chapter, and all kinds of classics are recorded as a number of treasures, one by one, trying to explain the so-called 'Taoist yin and yang'.
And Jiang Cang was not surprised to hear that Zuo Ci was so knowledgeable, because in the "Book of the Later Han", Zuo Ci not only knew the art of alchemy, but also proficient in the Five Classics, and studied Xingwei, learned Taoism, Ming Liujia, drove ghosts and gods, and sat in the kitchen.
To put it simply, a 'man of God!' ’
And what he just said, to put it mildly, is actually 'two do not owe anything.' ’
Now that he takes his own things, he will also give himself things of the same value, and no one owes anyone, so that he will take advantage of himself, and in the future, he will lose his yin virtue, and then he will have some blood disaster and evil retribution.
This is also equivalent to the Buddhist 'non-contamination of cause and effect.' ’
There is a sentence where it came about, Jiang Cang vaguely remembers that it is 'the reincarnation of cause and effect of great blessings and disasters, and the balance of yin and yang of blessings and misfortunes', which is the meaning of such a heavenly reincarnation.
And Zuo Ci finished talking about 'yin and yang', and after making it clear that he would not owe Jiang Cang, he promised: "When Dan is done, you will have one, and the old Tao will be one." As the Taoist ancestors said, the way of heaven is called yin and yang. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Cang, "As the teacher of the sage, the Legalist Guan Zi "Ming Fa" said. And it can be fair. ”
