Chapter 6 - First Acquaintance with Hua Ran
After Cang Yi rented the carriage, it was already dark when he returned to the inn, and Ah Yi and Hefeng also finished shopping in Zhu Market and returned to the inn.
During the meal, Hefeng and Zhou Yun said that the pearl market is full of all kinds of pearls, and they are full of color. The most amazing thing has to count the pearl of the night, I heard the boss say that there is a Xuanzhu about the size of a human head in the city lord of Yicheng, which is said to have been salvaged from the extreme abyss. From the extreme abyss, it is the land of the Beihai gods, ruled by the water god Wuyi, and it is the territory of the merman.
Others said, "Have you seen this Xuanzhu?" The boss shook his head, how could this Xuanzhu be seen by ordinary people. Everyone else said that the boss bragged nonsense, but the abyss from the pole is a place where the human race can go?
After the four of them finished eating on the first floor of the inn, they went back to their rooms.
Cang Yi was about to rest, only to hear a knock on the door, Zhou Yun said outside: "Brother Cang Yi, I have something I want to ask you here." “
Cang Yi opened the door and saw Zhou Yun standing outside the door. So he invited Zhou Yun in.
After Zhou Yun sat down, he told Cang Yi what he encountered in the evening. Cang Yi was shocked when he heard it.
"Are you sure the water is dark green?" Cang Yi looked at Zhou Yun seriously.
Zhou Yun nodded and said affirmatively:
"Yes, I confirm. And when I opened my eyes, there was a dark gray in all directions. Even if I opened the pupil technique, I couldn't see the snake demon clearly. “
"That's the king snake, the king snake is a snake spirit family, the whole body is golden, you can use illusions, that king snake brings you into the illusion, and the black ash is just his stand-in." Cang Yi suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, along the way, he had not encountered any king snake, and the Zhou family had never had any intersection with the king snake, why did the king snake attack Zhou Yun?
Cang Yi was worried that the king snake would continue to attack Zhou Yun, and after letting Zhou Yun return to the room, he laid an enchantment outside Zhou Yun's house. If the barrier is broken, he will be in the next room, and he will come immediately.
The night was uneventful. Early the next morning, the four of them took a carriage to Pengque Mountain.
The carriage has been running for a day, and it is estimated that there is still one day, and it is almost to the Pengque Mountain boundary, Hefeng doesn't know why, maybe because he has never been in the carriage for so long, and his weak body is really a little unbearable, and since he got into the carriage, he has been suffering from headaches and discomfort, and even vomited a few times. Ah Yi, who was in the same car with Hefeng, suggested taking a break, letting Hefeng get out of the carriage to breathe, and talked to the groom, so everyone got out of the car and rested.
Three carriages were parked on the side of the mountain road, next to a gentle slope, and below the gentle slope was a dense forest. The mountains and forests on both sides cover the sky and the sun, insects and birds chirp, obviously in the middle of summer, but there is a trace of chill here. The road is bent along the mountain, stretching upward, but the road surface is very smooth, and there are horse-drawn carriages coming and going along the way, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the medicine valley to seek medical treatment.
As soon as Hefeng got out of the carriage, he vomited profusely, his face was pale, and he kept saying, "Brother Cangyi, I'm really embarrassed." I'm sorry for everyone. Before he could finish speaking, he began to vomit again.
Cang Yi got out of the carriage with Ah Yi, and Ah Yi was also a little uncomfortable, but he felt that he could still bear it. After a while, Cang Yi saw that Hefeng didn't seem to vomit anymore, so he walked over and asked Hefeng if he was better, Hefeng waved his hand, indicating that he was not tight, and just after speaking, he began to vomit again.
Zhou Yun sat in the carriage and did not get down. Ah Yi looked at Hefeng's miserable face, and thought to himself that he would have to walk the mountain road for another day, but he didn't know if he could bear it. Crane Wind knew that he was dragging everyone back, endured the discomfort, and decided to hurry first. That's when Ah Yi found out that the driver was missing.
At this time, I suddenly heard a neighing of horses, and suddenly a three-horse carriage rushed out from the rear and went straight to the three of them, and there was no coachman on the car, Ah Yi, Hefeng, and Cang Yi hurriedly dodged, watching the carriage go straight towards Zhou Yun's carriage, Cang Yi found that something was wrong, and rushed over, and it was also at that moment that Zhou Yun's carriage was rushed out of the carriage halfway, and was knocked out with people and horses, and the carriage rolled a few times in the woods and fell apart, but fortunately the slope was a dense forest, blocking the carriage that continued to fall.
Cangyi, Ah Yi, and Hefeng hurriedly ran down the hillside, only to see Zhou Yun coming from the forest, holding a dead black fox in his left hand, Zhou Yun's clothes were stained with some blood, and said: "Those three coachmen are demon clan ghosts, I only caught one." The remaining two ran. can be a human skin for the demon clan, and can hide it from a few of us, it must be an extremely harmful character. “
Cang Yi thought that when he was looking for the grooms yesterday, he didn't see anything wrong with the three grooms. It's just that I never expected it to be three demon clans.
The four of them rested again, and there were still two carriages left, and Tsurukaze said that he was much better and could hurry. Ah Yi asked Hefeng not to be reckless, and Hefeng said that it was true that his head didn't hurt anymore. Cang Yi looked around: "Let's hurry, it's not safe here." ”
So Zhou Yun and Ah Yi had a carriage, and Cang Yi and Hefeng had a carriage.
Ah Yi, who was driving the horse, asked Zhou Yun in the carriage when he noticed the abnormality.
Zhou Yun rubbed his temples and said: "Hefeng is accurate, it is the first time to go out to a place that is not within the scope of the Zhou clan, and he will be very sensitive to the demon clan, which means that the nearest coachman is the demon, but in the end, I didn't expect all three." After speaking, Zhou Yun closed his eyes and rested.
Ah Yi not only sighed, but everyone ignored this problem, and always thought that it was a problem of Hefeng's weak physique.
When the four of them arrived at the inn at the foot of Pengque Mountain, the sun had completely set.
The four of them decided to rest here for the night, and then walk the mountain road into the medicine valley tomorrow. I had no choice but to find that all the inns at the foot of the mountain were full, and signs full of customers were hung outside the store.
Finally saw an inn that had not yet been listed, and the four of them just walked into the inn, only to see the shopkeeper rubbing his hands with an apologetic face and walking over, and said: "The guest officer, please ask whether it is a sharp point or a hotel, if you live in the hotel, I am sorry, all the rooms in this inn are full today." There are really no rooms left. ”
Ah Yisheng sighed in his heart, this medicine valley is really worthy of its reputation, and people who come to seek medical treatment can fill dozens of inns at the foot of this mountain.
Cang Yi took out a silver ingot from his backpack, handed it to Xiao Er, and said, "Shop, the four of us will have a meal at your place, and we will leave after eating." ”
The shopkeeper took the money and said happily: "Okay, guest officer, please here." ”
The four of them were seated, because it was late, and they were the only ones who ate on this floor.
After a while, the shopkeeper finished the dishes, and also came with a cold dish called counting dishes.
When Zhou Yun heard the name of the dish, he frowned and didn't speak. Glancing at Cang Yi, Cang Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.
Crane Wind is a little curious, why is this cold dish that looks like tender ginger cut into thin slices called counting vegetables?
Cang Yi smiled and said, "You can try it, it tastes pretty good." ”
So Hefeng and Ah Yi each used chopsticks to clip a small piece, tasted it, there is a taste of tender ginger, slightly spicy, sweet and sour, the taste is quite good. So Hefeng picked up a few more pieces and put them in his mouth, which tasted really good.
Then at this time, Hefeng found that Ah Yi was looking at him with a frightened face, Hefeng frowned, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this??" ”
Then Hefeng saw Ah Yi's face, slowly starting from the neck, the whole face slowly turned blue, and gradually felt a little swollen, as if inflated, Hefeng hurriedly touched his face. Ah Yi also stared at Crane Wind's face slowly turning blue.
The two of them immediately panicked and said, "This dish is poisonous!" Little Er, how did you poison us! ”
Cang Yi couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stopped Hefeng, who was looking for Xiao Er to settle accounts, and said with a smile: "This counting dish, whose full name is green-faced ginger, is poisonous, and the face of the person who eats it will turn blue." “
Tsurufeng was frightened and stammered a little: "That.. This.. This one is going to.. How to detoxify. “
Zhou Yun pretended to be calm and put a piece of meat in his bowl, and said, "Eat one more piece to detoxify." “
Hefeng hurriedly took two more pieces into his mouth and hurriedly swallowed them. Ah Yi also hurriedly took a slice and ate it. The blue color on Ah Yi's face slowly faded. And the cyan on Crane Wind's face is still there, Crane Wind is so anxious, why is he still cyan.
Zhou Yun couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Hefeng's appearance, Hefeng's head seemed to be like an oversized green plum, swollen and green, and said with a smile: "Hahahahahahahaha After speaking, Cang Yi and Zhou Yun couldn't stop laughing.
Hefeng hurriedly swallowed another piece, and after a while, the blue color on his face gradually subsided, and the swelling gradually subsided, and Hefeng said angrily: "What the hell is this?" “
Cang Yi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Everyone who comes to Medicine Valley for the first time will be poisoned by this dish once." ”
After eating, the four of them were about to leave, when two young men came into the inn, one of them looked about 25 years old, wearing a dark coat of flowers, with a silk coat as thin as a cicada's wings, and he looked extremely handsome, and simply tied his hair with a jade button. Another man, with a slightly dark complexion, sword eyebrows and big eyes, a dark forehead, a black dark robe, and his hair was also tied up with jade buttons. The man with the forehead asked the shopkeeper, "Has the room been cleaned?" “
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked over and said, "I have already cleaned the room for you." “
Zhou Yun and the other four got up and prepared to leave, and the two men were about to go upstairs. Suddenly, the man in colored clothes stopped, stared at Zhou Yun's back, and said, "Zhou's blood magician, please stay." ”
Zhou Yun and the four of them were a little stunned and stopped. On this outing, they did not wear Zhou's emblem clothes, and second, they did not use Zhou's post carriage, but ordinary businessmen. How this man could see at a glance.
Cang Yi glanced at Zhou Yun, not wanting to get into trouble here, so he prepared to leave.
I saw a voice behind me: "Zhou Yun, Qin Hefeng, Zhou Yi, Zhou Cangyi, four blood magicians, please stay." ”
The four of them were all shocked, and they turned around at the same time, and their right hands had opened the golden bamboo blood bucket on their waists. For a while, there was tension.
The man in the flower clothes waved and said: "In Xia Huaran, the young city lord of Luocheng, there is no malice in Xia. Please also ask the four of you to enjoy your face and stay at this small shop. There are also some things I want to ask you blood magicians. “
After speaking, the man named Hua Ran gave a look to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately said clearly: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, and he doesn't know the four Zhou blood magicians, so I'll go and clean up the guest room immediately." ”
Luocheng, also known as Organ City, is located in the northeast of Zhongzhou and consists of 6 small islands and 1 large island. It was built by more than 30 generations of Luocheng city lords, and the entire city is covered with countless mechanisms, and foreigners will get lost in the institutions if they are not led by the people of the city. There is a pavilion in Luocheng, called Tongtian Pavilion, which is known to contain all the anecdotes in the world.
This young city lord of Luocheng, what is the matter with the Medicine Valley? And how to recognize the four of us. Zhou Yun and Ah Yi and the other four were puzzled.
