Chapter Thirty-Seven: Entering the Green House by Mistake
Since the Xueqing Inn was renamed by Zhu Qingxue, business has been booming, and it has quickly become bigger, and there are branches in almost every Dazhou City in the Qinglong Continent. After Zhu Xiaomin was born, Zhu Qingxue deliberately selected a tailbone of a Yushan spirit dog and carved it into a small seal with the word "Zhu" as a shock for her baby granddaughter. Zhu Xiaomin has been hanging this seal around his waist since he was a child. This thing has also become a proof of her identity, and all the shopkeepers of Xueqing Inn in Zhoucheng know that the small seal with the word "Zhu" is the eldest lady.
When Tianxiao and Tianyao first arrived in Yanzhou, it was precisely because of Zhu Xiaomin's handwritten letter with the seal of the word "Zhu" that Xueqing Inn regarded several people as distinguished guests.
All the branches of Xueqing Inn are equipped with rooms such as wind, flowers, snow, and moon four, from dignitaries to ordinary people, you can find a suitable place to live in Xueqing Inn, which is also one of the reasons why Xueqing Inn business has been enduring for a long time. At the door of each Xueqing inn, two vertical plaques must be hung, and a pair of couplets must be written on it. The upper couplet said: "Smile to welcome the world's guests", and the lower couplet said: "Happy to meet the people of the world." This is Zhu Qingxue's own inscription, and the purpose she set for Xueqing Inn is: "When you enter the door, you are a guest." "Whether it is a prince or a general, or a mustard Li people, they should all be treated with the same heart. Because of this, Xueqing Inn has left a good reputation among the people.
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Xiaomin returned to the room, he heard the guy in the hall driving a beggar. She came to the counter and asked the guy: "Isn't the purpose of Xueqing Inn 'to be a guest when you enter the door', how can you do this? Be a good person, quickly get him some steamed buns, steamed buns and the like." ”
The young man answered, and ran into the kitchen to find food. Zhu Xiaomin turned his head and couldn't help frowning. The beggar was quite tall, with a disheveled head, and his clothes were so tattered that he could no longer see his original color. There was a strong stench from all over his body, which was disgusting.
Zhu Xiaomin held his breath and said, "That guy will bring you buns in a while, you can eat and leave." There are many nobles in the inn today, and it is not good for you to stay here. After saying that, she quickly turned to leave, she really couldn't stand the strange smell.
"Don't go!" suddenly shouted the beggar behind him.
Zhu Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, and turned around in surprise, it was clearly Lu Baifeng's voice. However, when she looked up, she was a little puzzled, the beggar's face was big and small, his eyes were squinted, and his face was full of mud, as ugly as he wanted, as if it was not Lu Baifeng.
"But, if it's not Senior Brother Lu, who could it be? I don't know anyone else in Hanzhou......" Zhu Xiaomin thought to himself. So, she took a closer look at it, it looked strange at first glance, but the more she looked at it for a long time, the more she looked like Lu Baifeng.
"Senior Brother Lu?" asked Zhu Xiaomin suspiciously.
"Haha, junior sister, did you finally recognize me?"
"Senior Brother Lu!" Zhu Xiaomin shouted happily. Hearing her shout, several other people ran out of the room happily, but when they saw Lu Baifeng who looked like a beggar, everyone hesitated again and looked at each other.
"I'm your Senior Brother Lu! Really, you won't be able to recognize it if you get dirty?" Lu Baifeng was quite helpless.
"It's really Senior Brother Lu!" Tianyao happily ran towards Lu Baifeng, but before he could reach him, he suddenly stopped, clutched his chest and retched. He had just taken a big sip of the foul smell emanating from Lu Baifeng's body, and he was almost stunned.
Tang Junhe pinched his nose and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, why did you make it stink?"
Lu Baifeng smiled "hehe": "You don't care about the life of your senior brother, but you hate the smell." ”
At this time, the guy walked out of the kitchen with three steamed buns and a plate of side dishes, and Lu Baifeng laughed when he saw it. Zhu Xiaomin remembered the misunderstanding just now, and couldn't help laughing, and told the guy to hurry up and boil water and prepare a set of clean clothes.
Everyone was waiting in the room to land Baifeng. Soon he finished bathing, put on new clothes, tied up his hair, and went into the house. When everyone saw Lu Baifeng's face, they immediately burst into laughter. Just now, Lu Baifeng's hair was scattered, and his face was dirty, now everyone can see clearly, the reason why his face is big and small on one side is because one side of his face is swollen like a steamed bun, his eyes are squeezed, and his mouth is squeezed crooked.
"What's so funny about seeing my senior brother so miserable. Lu Baifeng said angrily.
"Hahaha, senior brother, I haven't seen you for a day, why are you ugly like this?" Tianxiao smiled while holding his stomach, leaning forward and back.
Lu Baifeng gave him a burst of chest: "My face was swollen by the tail of the blood-pupiled purple python, and it hurt me to death!"
Thinking of the scene of Lu Baifeng fighting the Blood Pupil Purple Python alone, everyone restrained their smiles, and Tang Junhe asked, "Senior brother, is the Blood Pupil Purple Python dead?"
Lu Baifeng nodded: "It's dead, I finally killed it." ”
"Senior brother, what happened yesterday? We rushed desperately to the shore, we didn't see everything that happened behind us, and when we went ashore and looked back, you had been swept into the water by the Purple Python with Blood Pupils. Later, we waited for you for a long time, but we didn't see you come ashore. Xiao Liying asked.
"I wasn't swept away by the Blood Pupil Purple Python, but deliberately held the python's tail to prevent it from escaping. Lu Baifeng replied, "The blood pupil purple python's whole body scale armor is hard and slippery, and ordinary attacks can't be used at all, but it's unlucky to hit me, I sent dark energy to its body several times in a row, and it wanted to hang me and swallow me, but in the end it failed, so I could only flee in the wilderness." I was afraid that it would come out and harm people in the future, so I was taken into the water by it with the python tail. ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Lu Baifeng's dark energy was just right to restrain the hard scales of the blood pupil purple python.
Lu Baifeng continued: "Later, the Blood Pupil Purple Python kept trying to get rid of me, but I never let go. It just swam with me, thinking that it would let go when I was tired, but it turned out that it got tired first, and took me ashore to get into a hole, which is probably its lair. How could I let it escape, and slash the hole with a sword? The blood pupil purple python knew that there was no way out, so he tried his best to fight with me, I sent twenty-eight dark strokes of dark energy before it was seriously injured, and then slashed several swords and cut off the python's head, and the python's blood sprayed me, so it stinks. As for the wound on my face, I was careless and was hit by the tip of the python's tail. As he spoke, Lu Baifeng touched the swelling on his face, grinning in pain, "After I kill the Blood Pupil Purple Python, it is estimated that you will wait for me at the Xueqing Inn in Hanzhou." I wanted to fly overboard, but the spiritual power in my body was not enough, and I didn't know where the pill had fallen. You can only walk all the way to Hanzhou. Looking for your heart, I didn't even take a bath, but you guys are good, Xiaomin treats me like a beggar, and everyone laughs at me. ”
Tianyao took out the swelling powder and helped Lu Baifeng put it on: "We've always been worried about Senior Brother, haven't we been waiting for you in the inn." ”
Zhu Xiaomin also chimed in: "It's just that we're so worried that we don't even have the heart to play." Fortunately, there is no danger, and we can also go to watch the pony election with confidence. ”
"I have also heard about this on the road, and it is said that the princes of the other six counties have come to choose the horses, and it is estimated that it will be very lively. Let's stay in Hanzhou for the next few days. Lu Baifeng said. Then he took out something black out of nowhere and said mysteriously to the people, "Look what this is." ”
"This ...... Could it be snake gall bladder?" said Tang Junhe.
"Haha, that's right! It's the snake gall of the Blood Pupil Purple Python!"
"It's so small......" everyone had disappointed expressions. The blood-pupiled purple python was about four feet long, as thick as a bucket, and it had a gall the size of half a palm, which was a little pitiful.
"What do you know? Don't underestimate this thing, although the snake is small, it is a priceless treasure!" Lu Baifeng admired.
"How different can such a small snake gall bladder be from ordinary snake gall bladders?" Zhu Xiaomin disagreed.
Snake gallbladder is a precious medicinal material. It is recorded in the medical book: "The snake is cold and bitter in taste, and has the effect of dissolving phlegm, brightening the eyes and benefiting the liver, clearing heat and detoxifying." For immortal cultivators, snake gall is an important medicinal material required for many pills, such as detoxification and recovery pills, most of which need to be added to snake gall. ”
There are many kinds of snakes, pythons, and pythons in the Qinglong Continent. Among them, the gallbladder effect of highly venomous snakes such as cobra, krait, gray rat snake, five-step snake, silver krait, black snake, flower snake, black-browed snake, and three-rope snake is the best. The Immortal Cultivation Sect is prevalent in alchemy, so high-quality snake gall is often a situation where there is no market. As for the gall of the three major demon kings of the python family: the blood pupil purple python, the dragon scale king python and the poisonous python, it is even more rare. It is not an easy task to meet the three major demon pythons, not to mention the ability to kill the python to get guts. In his early years, Lu Baifeng had personally seen a master of the sect kill a dragon scale king python and take out the snake gall for future alchemy.
Lu Baifeng put away the snake gall bladder and patted Zhu Xiaomin's head: "You don't understand, the gall of the three major demon pythons can be said to be precious medicinal materials that are not encountered in a thousand years and are difficult to find in thousands of years, and their value is no less than a superb fairy sword, how can it be comparable to ordinary snake gall bladder? They can refine the Blood Pupil Pill, the Dragon King Pill, and the Poison Pill, all of which are taken from the Demon Python's real name. The Blood Pupil Pill can enhance the strength of the body, the Dragon King Pill can increase the recovery speed of spiritual power, and the Poison Pill can be invulnerable to all poisons after taking it. What's even more commendable is that the efficacy of these three pills is permanent, and if you take one pill, you will benefit for life. His words were so surprising, it turned out that the three demon pythons were not only powerful, but also had such treasures on their bodies.
Since the gall of the three major demon pythons is so rare, why does Lu Baifeng understand their role so clearly?
In response to everyone's questions, Lu Baifeng explained: "I once read a book of "Danxia Secret Classics" in the library of Taiqing Sect, which recorded in detail the material ratio and refining methods of various pills. Those just now are exactly the contents of one of the books "Three Python Qidan". ”
Tianyao asked, "There are such good books, I don't know who wrote them?"
"You must know that there are also great swordsmiths and alchemists among those who cultivate immortals, and cultivating to become immortals is not their only pursuit. For example, Patriarch Ou Yezi, who has been immersed in the way of sword casting all his life. The author of the "Danxia Secret Classic" is also a great alchemy genius of my Taiqing Sect - Patriarch Ge Puhong. It is rumored that when he cultivated immortals, he was never confined to a corner, but traveled around, collecting minerals and medicinal materials for alchemy. Later, he summarized his life's alchemy experience and wrote a precious book on the way of alchemy. Lu Baifeng's voice was filled with great respect.
"Did Patriarch Ge Puhong succeed in the end?" asked Tianxiao.
Lu Baifeng shook his head with a solemn expression: "The journey of cultivating immortals is already difficult and difficult, even if you cultivate wholeheartedly, you may not be able to get what you want. Patriarch Ou Yezi and Patriarch Ge Puhong did not take cultivating immortals as their only goal in life, so they divided their energy into other things, so after all, the sword immortal did not succeed, and regretfully fell. You must remember that on the road to cultivating immortals, you must not be distracted. The deadline is approaching, and it is too late to regret it. ”
Everyone stopped talking, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
Lu Baifeng diverted the topic: "By the way, at the end of the article "Three Python Qi Dan", Patriarch Ge wrote such a paragraph: 'The gall of the three demon pythons can be gathered in one ding and refined, plus the most powerful of the seven poisons: miasma blood throat sealing, grass poison intestine breaking grass, insect poison soul spider, Gu poison blue silkworm Gu, corpse poison thousand corpse powder, silk poison crane top red, flower poison blood begonia, smelting seven seven forty-nine days, can become a heavenly demon pill. ’”
Everyone was shocked when they heard it, those highly poisonous things alone were terrifying enough, and they were just Dan Yin. The courage of the three demon pythons, it is not easy to prepare them!
Lu Baifeng then sighed: "It's a pity that there is no record in the book what the effect of the Heavenly Demon Pill is. This kind of elixir, which has extremely harsh requirements for materials, except for Patriarch Ge Puhong, I'm afraid no one has ever refined it!"
In order to let Lu Baifeng have a good rest, Zhu Xiaomin instructed his men to arrange a "Butterfly Love Flower" room for him to live alone. When he returned to his room, the group decided to go out for a stroll together. They had been worried about Lu Baifeng all day, and now the burden in their hearts could be regarded as letting go.
Although it was a bit late, the streets were still very lively. Hanzhou is the royal capital of Youlong County, which is naturally more prosperous than Yanzhou. This period was extraordinary, with a large number of visitors from all over the country, and the vendors of Hanzhou were desperate to make more money, and the roads were lined with small stalls. In addition, storytellers, singers, jugglers, showrunners, all kinds of things. Walking down the street, several people felt that their two eyes were not enough to see.
I heard that there is a "Mengxiang Street" in Hanzhou, which is very famous. So they planned to go there and see. Mengxiang Street is in the northwestern corner of Hanju City, and everyone walked for about a quarter of an hour to reach the corner of the street. It's really a lively place, and the trees on both sides of the street are full of lanterns, which are very colorful.
The first store in Jiekou, called "Forget Worry Building", is the largest restaurant in Hanzhou. Even if it is approaching, the store is still full of friends, and the winners are like clouds. The sound of fists and laughter was endless, and everyone thought it was too noisy and continued to move forward.
To the inside, there is a bathroom, called "Hongxin Pool". Judging by the number of customers coming in and out, it is clear that business here must be booming. Everyone had already bathed in the Xueqing Inn, so they didn't stay too long.
Walking further, I suddenly smelled a strong fragrance, and it turned out that there was a rouge gouache shop here. The name of the store is "Yahui Zhai", and the store is full of girls. Zhu Xiaomin dragged Xiao Liying and Tang Junhe into the crowd, leaving Tianxiao and Tianyao looking at each other. The store was full of young women, Tianxiao and Tianyao were thin-skinned, and they were embarrassed to go in, so they had to continue to move forward.
The next shop is called "Xinhua Pavilion", which is a relatively small incense and candle shop, and the business is relatively deserted.
Before they had taken two steps back into the street, two girls suddenly came from the side of the road and grabbed them. The two girls were smiling all over their faces, wearing pink light veils on their shoulders, exposing half of their breasts, and exuding a strong smell of fragrant powder, which made them dizzy.
"Two handsome little brothers, looking at the face, this is the first time to come to Hanzhou, right? A girl tugged at Tianyao's sleeve and said flatteringly.
"Ah, this, let's ......" Before Tianyao finished speaking, another girl said to Tianxiaojiao: "Why are you still stunned? Come in, let's play the pipa, play and sing, row fists and wine, and be proficient in everything!" The girl here was not ambiguous, and she grabbed Tianyao's hands and dragged them in.
The lobby of the "Lost Immortal Residence" is brightly lit, and there is a round platform with a group of flower-like girls on the stage, the back row is playing music, and the front row is dancing to the music. Around the round table, there are low tables filled with wine, snacks and fruits, and a velvet blanket on the floor. Many men sat on the ground, eating and drinking, while looking at the light long sleeves and graceful figures on the stage, and some men also hugged left and right, hugging the bewitching girls to talk and laugh together.
The sound of flutes, flutes, pianos, zithers, and drums on the stage was noisy, and the audience laughed, shouted, shouted, screamed, screamed, and chattered. Tianxiao and Tianyao were disturbed by all kinds of noisy and noisy sounds, and wanted to leave, but where were the two girls willing to let go? Not only that, but several girls came from elsewhere and grabbed the two of them together. This "Lost Immortal Residence" is a well-known brothel Xianglou in Hanzhou and even the entire Youlong County, Tianxiao and Tianyao went to Tiandao Mountain at the age of twelve, how to know these red worlds.
The girls of "Lost Immortal Residence" rarely meet such a handsome little brother, where are they willing to let go. Tianxiao and Tianyao only think that this is a place to eat, drink, and listen to optimistic dances, and they can't get out if they want to go. Tianxiao had no choice but to say: "We don't have any money......"
The girls were stunned for a moment, and then began to pull again. Business here has been booming, and these girls are not short of money at all. Besides, such a handsome little brother, let alone no money, even if they are willing to pay money.
Just when the two were in a dilemma, a man dressed as a rich boy hugged the two girls, and said to Tianxiao and Tianyao with a mouth full of wine: "I came here to find girls to have fun, everyone is so kind to the girls, but you two do everything you can to shirk, I really don't know the fun!"
