On the street of Hongyao Town, a middle-aged man with a rickety figure walked slowly on the street with a yellowed bamboo cane in one hand and a bamboo basket larger than his body behind him.

The back basket is very large, and there are also a lot of things inside, layered on top of each other, high above the edge, like a small mountain bag.

Behind him, a swarthy young man in a short coat followed closely behind the middle-aged man, and in his right hand was a small bamboo basket with some black tuber-like items inside.

The bamboo basket was not large, but the items inside were quite overwhelming, and the boy did not exchange his hands to relieve the soreness of his arms.

After walking a distance, he found that the boy did not follow, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly, turned his head to look in the direction he came, and found the boy squatting in front of the cooking cake stall after walking a few steps.

Looking at the golden crispy and fragrant cooking cakes on the stall, his throat continued to rise and fall, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth from time to time, and then he was instantly sucked back into his mouth by the young man, and swallowed it with difficulty.

"Boss, how do you sell this pancake?" I really couldn't stand the gluttony in my stomach, so I asked in a young voice, staring at the golden cookcakes on the stall with a pair of eyes, and I didn't move.

"This little brother is really discerning, our cooking pie crust is thin and filling, and the taste is even more unique, you can buy one for only three pennies!" The young man in front of him had been squatting in front of the stall for a long time, at first he was just sitting there to rest, and then he couldn't stand the smell of cooking cakes, and his attention gradually shifted. He has seen too many young guests like this, and he only needs to be more patient, even if he is reluctant, in the end they will obediently pay for it.

Sanwen one?

Looking at the stall owner with a smile on his face, the young man turned around slightly, carefully removed a worn-out cotton cloth from his waist, shook the contents, and poured them all out in one go.

Looking at the two lonely copper plates, his face was full of reluctance, and in the end he couldn't resist the gluttony in his stomach, gritted his teeth, turned his head to the boss tentatively and asked, "Boss, can you sell me one for two cents?" That's all I have. ”

He stretched out his black palm, and in the palm of his hand lay two copper coins that had been rubbed very smooth, and his face was full of anticipation.

Looking at the two copper coins in the young man's black hands, the boss's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he was about to speak, when he saw a slightly rickety middle-aged man appear behind the young man, he directly stretched out a pair of heavy palms and put them on the young man's head, and asked lovingly: "You are hungry just a few steps after leaving the house?" ”

Hearing the sound above his head, the boy didn't even look back, his eyes were still fixed on the fragrant cookcakes on the stall, and he nodded and replied, "Well, Abba, can you buy me a cookcake?" I'm still a penny short. ”

Hearing his son's words, the middle-aged man smiled, and was about to take out the copper money from the money bag to pay, but heard the boss wave his hand and say: "No, Brother Tie, I didn't recognize it just now, I didn't think that this little baby was your son, and these two cakes should be treated as two of them." ”

After speaking, the boss hurriedly took out two paper bags, each containing a cake, and handed them to the two.

The middle-aged man in front of him is called Tie Yun, who is a very famous hunter in the local area, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest hunter, when he was young, he single-handedly hunted the existence of a tiger, but later after his wife died, he stopped hunting in the mountains, but changed to collect herbs and farm for a living.

Relying on the ability to identify herbs learned when he was a hunter, he went into the mountains these years, and although the harvest was not very rich, he did not return empty-handed.

Although Tieyun is not rich and expensive now, he can still be regarded as eating and drinking.

Over the years, the town has not been disturbed by the fierce beasts in the mountains, Tie Yun has contributed a lot, and the people in the town, whether they are rich or poor, everyone remembers Tie Yun's feelings.

Tie Yun stretched out his hand to take the paper bag handed over by the other party, handed one of them to the young man, took out six copper coins from the bag, and put them on the stall, he laughed loudly: "It's not easy to make money these days, I appreciate the kindness of the boss." ”

After speaking, he squatted down, lifted the bamboo basket on the ground, and said to the young man who carefully put the cake into the cotton wrap: "Hu'er, let's go, otherwise your Uncle Hu will be in a hurry." ”

After speaking, he carried a basket on his shoulder, a bamboo basket in one hand, and a young man in the other hand to walk into the distance.

Walking along the way, the father and son soon came to the outside of a pharmacy, Tie Yun put down the things on his body, walked into the shop, and the guy who watched the shop found Tie Yun, and shouted loudly to the residence behind the shop: "Master! Uncle Tieyun is here! ”

After shouting, the guy walked out of the counter and came to the front of the two, he said to Tie Yun with a smile on his face, "Uncle Yun! If anything interesting happened on the mountain this time, you can tell me. ”

Tie Yun also grinned, shook his head and said, "How can such an interesting thing happen, but I did find a lot of strangers in the mountains, and I don't know what they are doing in the mountains?" Our side is poor and remote, and there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back. ”

Hearing Tie Yun's words, the guy hurriedly said, "Uncle Yun, I know this, do you want me to tell you about it?" ”

Tie Yun nodded: "I'm also quite curious, you say, I'll listen." ”

Tie Yun casually pulled a chair and sat down, making a gesture of listening.

The guy was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the young man on the side pull Tieyun's sleeve, and looked at the dark young man in front of him, he stopped talking.

"Abba, I want to go shopping."

Hearing his son's words, Tie Yun nodded and said, "Well, you come back early, and we will go home together when the time comes." ”

The boy nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Then he turned to the guy and said, "Brother Shi, I'll go first." ”

After saying that, without waiting for the guy named Stone to respond, he strode out of the pharmacy.

After the young man left, Shi Shi continued: "Uncle Yun, I heard from the people around me that those people are merchants from nearby big cities, and this time they came to our side, it seems that they heard that there is a fire Lingzhi on the mountain, so they specially sent people to look for it. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Shi asked Tie Yun with a curious expression, "Uncle Yun, do you know what Fire Lingzhi is?" I asked the master, but the master couldn't tell. ”

Fire Reishi?

After listening to Shishi's words, Tie Yun frowned slightly, and soon returned to normal, he took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have been in the mountain many hundred times since these people, and I have never heard of such a thing as Fire Lingzhi." ”

"Ahh You don't even know. The man's face was full of disappointment, he originally wanted to get an answer from Tie Yun's side, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't know what the fire lingzhi was, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Just when he didn't give up and wanted to say something, a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and a green shirt came from behind the shop, he lifted the curtain, looked at the shopkeeper stone, and said, "So idle? Go to the backyard and dispose of the herbs there! ”

Hearing the master's words, one of the man's faces instantly collapsed, and he said weakly: "Okay, master, I'll go." ”

After greeting Tie Yun, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

Seeing the apprentice walking away, the old man walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, and said to Tie Yun: "Hey, what an eventful time! ”

The two chatted, but did not notice that there was a carriage slowly passing by outside the city, and three people were sitting in it.

Zhou Xingyu frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Fire Lingzhi, this little Red Medicine Town actually has such a thing. ”

During this time, in addition to guarding the safety of the convoy, he was almost thinking about what medicinal materials to use to synthesize the medicinal properties of the extreme yin liquid, but unfortunately there was no good solution.

I didn't expect to have an unexpected stop in Red Medicine Town this time.

This fire reishi is one of the ganoderma lucidum, different from the general ganoderma lucidum, fire reishi generally grows in places such as craters with a strong smell of earth fire, and its growth conditions are very harsh, which can be said to be very rare.

When he thought about countermeasures before, the reason why Zhou Xingyu didn't think about it in this direction was that the scarcity of fire lingzhi was one of the reasons.

"Brother Zhou is talking about fire lingzhi? If it was such a divine object, it was no wonder that the Qin family would travel thousands of miles to this remote town. Because the three of them sat very closely, although Zhou Xingyu's voice was very small, Li Mubai still heard his words clearly.

Zhou Xingyu asked in surprise: "Brother Li actually knows about Fire Lingzhi too!" ”

You must know that the reason why he has a certain understanding of fire lingzhi is because of his master Li Qingtai, this kind of medicinal material is rare in the world, and it is not recorded in ordinary medical books.

Li Mubai, a boy who came to stretch out his hand to eat and open his mouth, actually knew how this made him not curious.

Hearing Zhou Xingyu's words, Li Mubai replied: "Brother Zhou, I don't know, although my Li family's business is mainly agriculture, fishery and catering, but there are also many pharmacies in hand, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take out those precious medicinal materials to repay Zhou Xingyu for saving his life." ”

Previously, because Zhou Xingyu saved Li Mubai's life outside Xuanzhou City, as a thank you, the Li family took out a five-hundred-year-old Jinjing Jade Diaphragm as a reward, and it was precisely because of this Jinjing Jade Diaphragm that Zhou Xingyu was able to refine the two pills of Huanglong Dan and Huang Lingdan.

Li Mubai didn't say it, Zhou Xingyu really couldn't think of it.

After all, cultivation and alchemy were already very busy, and he didn't have time to think about it.

"I heard that this fire lingzhi generally grows in volcanic craters, but this red medicine town is surrounded by green mountains and green waters, and there is no volcano at all, could it be that the Qin family is mistaken." Li Mubai's tone was full of doubts.

As far as he knew, there was no volcano near Mount Heimeng at all.

Zhou Xingyu shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation, but this fire lingzhi is very important to me and Brother Li, I didn't know it before, but now I know, no matter what, I have to fight it to see if I can get it." ”

Wang Ye instantly thought of the implied meaning in Zhou Xingyu's words, and thinking of the effect of the elixir he had said before, Wang Ye nodded firmly.

"According to Ah Xing and Brother Li's words, Huo Lingzhi cherishes the abnormality, if you miss it this time, whether you can find it in the future is two words, and you can't give up this time no matter what."

Zhou Xingyu said: "There seems to be something hidden in the words of those two people just now, it is better to wait for them to settle down, let's go to them and inquire about it, and see if we can get some clues." ”

The carriage slowly drove away from the door of the pharmacy and headed for the inn in the distance.
