Volume 3 The Valley of Wu Wei Chapter 71 is anxious

Liu Jizu said to Elder Long: "Grandfather, I'm going to get the Seventh Sister back! ”

Elder Long, Wu Lun and others persuaded hard, but it didn't work at all, Liu Jizu had already gone to feed the horse with water and feed and pack up his weapons and equipment.

Everyone looked at Liu Jizu's appearance and knew that persuasion was useless, Elder Long was busy letting his housekeeper and maid prepare food, and he helped him pack up his things while introducing Wuwei Valley, "Wuwei Valley and the academy are relatively close, so the location of the two sects is not far away, just in the valley of Wudang Mountain, and the scale of the building is similar to that of the academy.

Go out from the south gate of Yancheng, there is a road to the southeast that leads directly to Wudang Mountain, there are several bridges on the road, I don't know to ask the locals, there is nothing I don't know. It's only a little over half a day's journey from here, and if you ride a horse, plus the rest time, you can get there in an hour and a half. I have been to Wuwei Valley three times, and I know a little bit, but it is not exhaustive and accurate.

As far as I know, Wuwei Valley is also divided into disciples in the valley and disciples outside the valley, and the disciples in the valley have five surnames, namely Jiang, Qi, Lu, Shen, and Xu.

However, the periphery of Wuwei Valley is not as large as the academy, only the size of a town, and it is not directly managed like the academy. That's good news for you, and it's relatively easy to get in with them. But they use poison gas and warriors to guard the defense, if the 'Hundred Poison Solution' you eat can really make you invincible, then it will be relatively easy for you to be careful and sneak in, otherwise you'd better quit in time. ”

Although Liu Jizu was anxious, he was not stupid, he was going to save people, not to send him to death, so he nodded.

Elder Long continued: "The outermost part of Wuwei Valley is a town, but it is not managed by its own people like the academy, but it is managed by the government, and Wuwei Valley does not intervene. There are a large number of people who buy medicine and see a doctor, and there are medicinal herb merchants from all over the country, they are all outsiders who live there and wait in line to see a doctor, take medicine, sell medicine, and take money.

Disciples outside the valley live halfway up the mountain behind this town, and it is inhabited by martial artists with foreign surnames and medicine masters with foreign surnames, so you have to pay attention when you get there. The academy relies on waist cards to distinguish identities, they rely on the color of clothes to distinguish, I only know that pharmacists wear white clothes, poisoners wear gray clothes, and warriors wear black clothes, but I heard that there are subdivisions, and I don't know about this.

Once there, you can improvise and find a piece of their outfit to wear, preferably in black. You are a martial artist, and the black-clothed warriors there are still deacons, and when I go to buy medicine, the black-clothed people come to entertain me, and they are the most numerous. The advantage of this kind of impersonation is that it is not easy to reveal the stuffing, and then you will find a chance to enter their sect.

I heard that it is not far from their sect, just across a valley, but there are disciples outside the valley mouth, and the middle of the valley is filled with poisonous gas, and I don't know how the poisonous gas is guarded. It's best not to get close to them, keep at least ten paces away, and use a bow and arrow to fight them.

In addition, I also heard that the layout of their sect is similar to that of the academy, which is roughly divided into four parts, the middle is the administrative area and the residential area, where the martial artists and most of the disciples in the valley live, and I guess the seventh sister should also be in a certain residence there, you can search carefully. Behind it is the Baicao Garden, and behind the Baicao Garden should be their core area.

Also, in addition to thinking about how to get in, you also have to think about how to get out after saving people, including how the seventh sister passes through the poison gas, I guess it should be very simple for them. Originally, we were supposed to go in with you, but we are not good at this kind of espionage activity, and besides, the injury is not completely healed, and going will only drag you down.

As soon as you go, we'll pick you up in the town outside. There is a Wang'an inn in that town, I used to live there, you first open a room there, choose one with a back window, open the window and go out to enter the mountain, we will go there to meet you. ”

At this time, Liu Jizu's things had already been packed, in addition to his own weapons and equipment, according to Elder Long's instructions, he also brought a hundred taels of gold, a bow and a hundred arrows, and wrapped them in a big bag.

The old housekeeper also prepared a bag of food and a pot of water for Liu Jizu at this time.

Liu Jizu settled in Laifu, changed into dark clothes, washed his face again, rinsed his mouth, and felt much more comfortable.

He said to the people, "Grandfather, Master, it's best if I can catch up with them on the road, and if I can't catch up, I'll live in the Wang'an Inn, where you can pick me up." If I can't come back before dawn tomorrow, you don't have to wait for me, go directly to Jiangdong Road to find Shizu, and I will go to you after I save someone. ”

He didn't say what to do if something happened to him, he didn't want everyone to take risks because of him, and without waiting for everyone to reply, he turned over and went out of the door, heading towards the south gate of the weir city.

Liu Jizu was very anxious, from the time he detoxified the energy activity to the decision to carry out this series of preparatory activities, it only took more than ten minutes, he hoped that he could set off as soon as possible and catch up with those people on the road, which would save a lot of trouble.

But he also knew that it had been nearly an hour since the seventh sister was arrested, and he guessed that the two two-seater carriages in front of the jewelry store belonged to the gang. If they caught the seventh sister and left immediately, it would be difficult for him to catch up with them halfway, but he still chased them all the way with a glimmer of hope.

Although this road is not an official road, it is quite neatly repaired, and there are not many pedestrians, cars and horses on the road, and Liu Jizu's horse runs very fast. On the way he simply let the horse take the necessary rest, drank by the river, and gave it a bag of beans. He hurried to eat the whole pack, he knew that he needed physical strength and had to eat more, so although he was not hungry, he forced himself to eat the bag of food.

After eating, drinking half a pot of water, it was convenient for a while, and he continued on his way. Afraid of making a mistake on the road, he also inquired twice.

In fact, this road is very easy to find, the widest and best to walk is, encountered the river block, but also built a bridge, even do not need to ferry, so around half past five in the afternoon, the sky is still bright, he came to the town under Wudang Mountain, just tired of the wind.

Liu Jizu was startled when he first came here, only to see that there were people everywhere, and he felt that it was more crowded than the streets of Yancheng, and the size of the town was twice as large as the average one.

Liu Jizu didn't know if Elder Long was like this when he came, but he didn't have time to care about this, he found the Wang'an Inn along the road in the middle of the town.

It was a relatively large inn, with two floors and a large courtyard, and he came to the door of the inn and dismounted. When the guys at the inn saw someone riding a tall horse, they hurriedly greeted him with a smile and welcomed Liu Jizu in.

Liu Jizu asked for an upper room on the first floor next to the back mountain, and even people and horses actually asked for one or two silver a night, and they had to pay for the room before arranging it, this price frightened Liu Jizu, thinking why it was so expensive, more expensive than the house of the academy.

But he had no choice, gave the money, took the horse's luggage first, and gave the horse to another fellow to take care of. Then followed the guy who greeted him to his room, Liu Jizu asked as he walked, "Why are there so many people here, has it always been like this?"

The guy is a jack of all trades, and he loves to talk, so he smiled when he heard this: "Guest officer, don't you know, there used to be a lot of people here here, but they all came to deliver medicinal materials, buy medicine, and see a doctor, not as many as now!"

"Where did the extra people come from?"

The guy looked left and right first, and when he saw that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said, "It's not because of something in the valley!"

When Liu Jizu heard this, he became interested, and he wanted to know more about the situation in Wuwei Valley, so he continued to ask: "Hmm, I don't know what happened in the valley to attract so many people?"

The guy saw that Liu Jizu was interested, and he talked more energetically, "It's not because of one thing, but because two unrelated things come together, so many people are recruited." The first thing is that there is a miracle doctor among the disciples outside the valley, surnamed Feng, who is willing to treat the poor people for free, and the medicines he prescribes are very cheap, and they can still cure your illness.

When did you ever do such a thing in the valley? The pharmacists in the valley have always been the most expensive to see a doctor, and the medicine is also the most expensive for you, and never the most suitable for you. Ordinary people generally can't afford to see a doctor here, so most of the people who come here at that time are rich, but there are still some poor people who are seriously ill and come here to try their luck.

But these people can't even afford to live in a shop, so how can they afford to see a doctor? But this Doctor Feng is not ordinary, two months ago he came back from outside, and when he saw those people in the town who were sick and couldn't afford to see them, he was very sympathetic and began to show them for free. If he can't cure it, he will tell his family members directly, and if he can cure it, he will give them cheap prescriptions, and he will never deceive people.

We lack everything here, that is, there is no shortage of medicine, you have also seen, the medicinal materials from all over the country are sent to us. Those people went to catch the medicine prescribed by Doctor Feng, but the result was that the medicine was cured, and it didn't cost much money. Those who have been cured of the disease spread ten, ten, and hundreds, and more and more people came.

Doctor Feng is really amazing, just look at it when he comes, as long as he can cure it, he will prescribe a prescription, look at the consultation fee and give it, and tell people directly if he can't cure it, and he won't charge a penny. After more than a month, not only the poor came to see it, but also the rich people listened to the letter and came to line up to see it. The consultation fee they gave was very high, and Doctor Feng just smiled and did not refuse, taking care of it correctly, and what could be cured was still medicine to get rid of the disease. ”

Liu Jizu couldn't help but admire this Feng Divine Doctor when he heard this.

The guy opened a door at this time, let Liu Jizu in, and continued while pouring tea for Liu Jizu: "But in this way, Guli can't stand it, because no one goes to the Guli hospital to see a doctor and buy medicine." It's just that there are a group of people around Mr. Feng at all times, and the inn where he lives is surrounded by them, and they can't do it openly.

One day, the valley sent a deputy valley master to invite Doctor Feng to the valley, saying that the valley master had invited him. Doctor Feng said that there were too many patients here, and when he finished seeing the patients, of course the deputy valley master disagreed, and the two argued.

In the end, Divine Doctor Feng took a large bag of gold and silver from the room and gave it to the deputy valley master and said, "This is 10,000 taels of silver, and I will withdraw from Wuwei Valley from now on." The deputy valley lord was furious when he heard this, and he was about to do it, but so many people around him were waiting for Doctor Feng to see a doctor and save his life, how could he be allowed to step forward and do it, everyone protected Doctor Feng layer by layer, and the deputy valley lord had no choice but to take away the bag of gold and silver. Doctor Feng continued to treat everyone, and everyone admired Doctor Feng even more, and almost offered him as a god.

But something happened that night, and those who were waiting to see a doctor guessed that Wuwei Valley might want to attack Doctor Feng, so they took the initiative to protect Doctor Feng, and dozens of people surrounded the inn where he lived. But the strange thing is that the next morning, when everyone woke up, they found that Doctor Feng was still gone. This is okay, all the people who are waiting to see a doctor are gone, they want to find Wuwei Valley to explain the law, and ask them to hand over Doctor Feng, or they will burn Wuwei Valley. ”

Hearing this, Liu Jizu's heart moved, and he felt that this was a good idea! He asked the guy to sit down, poured a cup of tea for the guy, and asked him to continue.

The guy was flattered, thanked him, sat down and took a sip of tea, and continued: "The deputy valley master ran out again and said to everyone, 'Divine Doctor Feng has broken off his relationship with Wuwei Valley, and you have seen it with your own eyes. He wasn't in the Valley of Wuwei, didn't you watch over him that night, and where should he ask the people who were watching?'

They have no conclusive evidence, and they don't have the strength to do anything to Wuwei Valley, but people are gathering more and more, some continue to come to see Doctor Feng, and there are also some people who have been treated by Doctor Feng who originally looked down on the disease, some of them live close, and after getting the news from the past merchants, they also came here to put pressure on Wuwei Valley, and it has been ten days.

But I don't think these people can grow the tail of a rabbit, you see, they can't get in. Even if the disciples outside the valley don't know why they don't care about the outside pass now, the valley at the entrance is full of poisonous gas, and they won't be able to break through! Some time ago, there were people who were poisoned and thrown out by the people in the valley, and no one dared to go there recently. The second is that most of these people are poor, and they can't afford to live in the store, even if they can't afford to live in the store, now that the weather is warm, they can't freeze to death, but how can they do without eating. If it weren't for the fact that there was someone outside who organized them, and everyone ate evenly when they had food, these people would have been unable to hold on for a long time. ”

Liu Jizu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought that if he could get the support of these people, his possibility of success would be greatly increased. He asked quietly, "What about the other thing?"

The guy was more cautious this time, he looked out of the door, closed the door, and said in a quieter voice: "The other thing is miserable, I also heard what those people outside said, I dare not guarantee whether it is true or not." ”

Liu Jizu said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, I'm just here to buy medicine, and I want to hear more about what you say." ”

The guy whispered: "In recent years, Jiangnan Province has made a lot of trouble for the people, and there are many and cheap people who sell their sons and daughters. When Wuwei Gu heard about it, he took this opportunity to go over there to buy people, and bought back more than a hundred virgins and dozens of boys at once last month. But I haven't seen a single one come out, my God, we don't dare to think, who knows what they're doing?"

Liu Jizu was also shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What are they going to do?"

The guy trembled and said in a trembling voice: "I just heard that the valley master got a recipe from overseas, saying that drinking virgin blood can delay aging, and bathing with virgin blood can keep you young forever. So those virgins are the ones she uses to get blood!"

Liu Jizu also shuddered when he heard this, and exclaimed: "How can there be such a ridiculous thing, wait, you mean that the valley master of Wuwei Valley is a woman?"

Seeing that Liu Jizu didn't believe it, the guy said with a stiff neck: "How is it impossible, this matter has been rumored for a while, and it is said that there was not such a large number before, so it has been concealed." This time, I got a hundred at once, and it was only after some rumors came out!

The current valley owner of Wuwei Valley is the youngest daughter of the previous valley owner, who was a great beauty when she was young, and now she has given birth to three children, she is forty years old, and of course she is a woman. But I heard from those who had seen her that she looked like she was twenty years old, and that she still occupies the name of our Great Wednesday beauty.

They sold their daughters, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't interfere anymore. But after all, it is flesh and blood, and they really can't get by, and they want to leave a way for themselves and their children to live.

Later, they somehow heard about what I just said, so they came here from Gangnam Province to ask what happened, and it has been about ten days. They want to at least let Wuwei Gu bring people out to show them, so rest assured, this is also human nature! But guess what, Wuwei Gu doesn't even pay attention to these people!"

When Liu Jizu heard this, his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, he couldn't believe that there was such a ridiculous and cruel thing, and muttered in his mouth: "Then the government doesn't care, even if it is a slave, you can't kill it at will!"

The guy snorted, "I see you're so young, no wonder you don't know." Who who runs outside all the year round doesn't know that 'Lezhi Academy is the umbrella of the rich, Zhige City is the arsenal of the rich, and Wuwei Valley is the life-saving medicine for the rich!'"

This is the second time Liu Jizu has heard people say these three sentences, and it seems that ordinary people have the same views on the three sects.

Seeing that Liu Jizu was silent, the man thought that he didn't believe it, so he continued to ask: "Who doesn't know that the three sects and the magnates are in the same group! Moreover, do you know which of the three sects the magnates value the most?"

Liu Jizu shook his head.

The guy said proudly: "Of course it's Wuwei Valley!"

"Why is that?"

If you want money, power, and power, and women, what more do you want? It is nothing more than a matter of getting sick a little less, living a few more years, and enjoying a few more years. Therefore, from the princes and nobles to the rich businessmen and magnates, who does not scold them? You say that how can these powerful people in the government take care of the affairs of Wuwei Valley for the sake of some poor people? Not to mention the matter of these hundred virgins, there are many other bad things done by the people in the valley, how many big girls and little daughters-in-law have been robbed in, they are simply lawless, and they have never seen the government take care of it!"

After hearing this, Liu Jizu took out a penny of silver from his arms and threw it to the man, "Thank you for telling me such a wonderful story, my horse trouble helps me take good care of it and feed me more good food." Also, let me ask you another question, did both of these groups take the lead, or was it only the first group in front of them, how did they find him?"

The guy took the money and smiled, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the horse for you." The two groups had heads, and the head of the divine doctor was Fan Butcher, who was under the big locust tree over there. The head of the group looking for the child is Mr. Su, under the big poplar tree over there, you will know it as soon as you ask, and it is easy to find. What are you looking for them, they are a bunch of poor and poor people. Would you like something to eat? I'll bring it to you if you need it!"

Liu Jizu shook his head, "I've already eaten, I'm just here to fight the front station, and there will be companions in the evening, and there will be an old man in his sixties surnamed Long, or a person in his fifties surnamed Wu, you can arrange them directly into my room, I have something to do tonight, and I will come back tomorrow." ”

The guy gave Liu Jizu an ambiguous smile, he thought that Liu Jizu was going to have fun, and he didn't suspect him, so he left one by one.
